Federal Update: AmeriCorps

The Trump Administration effectively dismantled AmeriCorps, a 30-year-old federal agency for volunteer service that supports state and community projects across the U.S.

At least 85% of AmeriCorps staff were put on administrative leave.

Typically, through the AmeriCorps State and National grant program, state volunteer commissions distribute more than $177 million in formula-based distributions and $370 million in competitive grants per year that support nearly 35,000 corps members serving at 300 organizations; these funds have been terminated by the Trump administration.

This is a developing story, and several states are suing the Trump Administration over these cuts. The Aubrey Group will provide updates as they become available.
