4. I'm confused about Alum Home Chapter. What exactly does that mean?
Alum Home Chapter refers to the closest chapter to which you currently reside. Alum Home Chapters are organized by state. When registering, all members should choose the city where they currently reside as their "Alum Home Chapter." This is the chapter you will be most closely affiliated with. You may still associate your profile with other chapters, but your main chapter, the one in closest geographic proximity to you, is your "Alum Home Chapter."

5. I need to receive verification of my term of service. How can I receive official verification of completion of my AmeriCorps term of service?
Redirect to My AmeriCorps at https://my.americorps.gov/mp/login.do. Once logged in, click on "my service letter" on the left menu, and simply enter the applicable service term, address where verification is being sent, and print.

6. How do I connect with my local Chapter?
The Chapter Leaders' names are listed in the right margin on the homepage of each respective Chapter. Contacting your local Chapter Leader is a good place to begin. To contact your Chapter Leader, simply click on his/her name, and you will be redirected to his/her profile. You may then contact your chapter leader via e-mail or phone (if listed). If no chapter leader is listed, your chapter currently has no chapter leader. If you are interested in becoming a chapter leader, please contact Greg Heinrich.

7. How is AmeriCorps Alums funded?
