Regardless if you’re an AmeriCorps member, program, alumni, sponsor, or friend, you can help shine a spotlight on the great work being done by AmeriCorps members across the country. There are a variety of ways you can get involved during AmeriCorps Week, including the following:
- Planning an open house, service project, or special event.
- Making a presentation to a school or community group.
- Entering the national AmeriCorps Video and/or Photo Contests.
- Blogging about your AmeriCorps experience (we’d love to hear your story – submit to verberkmoese@michigan.gov).
- Thanking your AmeriCorps members and community supporters.
- Reconnecting with AmeriCorps Alums.
We know what you might be thinking…. Isn’t it a little early to be thinking about the 2010 AmeriCorps Week? No! Now is the time to start planning your efforts for next year and there are many resources that can help you get started today.
Michigan State University Extension will be conducting a webinar on AmeriCorps Week and the art of planning a service project this coming April. The webinar will highlight tools and resources to help you plan a successful project and will include information on choosing, publicizing, and executing your efforts. You can register for this free opportunity by clicking here.
The Corporation for National and Community Service already has tips, tools, and inspiration for the 2010 AmeriCorps Week available at www.AmeriCorpsWeek.gov.
The Michigan Community Service Commission and Michigan’s AmeriCorps is excited about next year’s AmeriCorps Week – stay tuned for more information in the future about this opportunity to support national service.
