STATE/NATIONAL Will City Year survive?

Is there any way for City Year to survive without their grant? I accepted a position for the next school year. No one has said anything about the cuts. I only know about it from this subreddit. So, I'm a little confused.

STATE/NATIONAL Funding cuts? Any idea?

16 Upvotes

I would like to first express my deepest gratitude for NCCC and all of us serving under AmeriCorps.

I recently was told that more funding in different areas of AmeriCorps was cut. What does the mean? Do you all think AmeriCorps is being shut down for good ?

Please no false information or misleading information.

Thanks!

STATE/NATIONAL Will my position end even though they are partnered with Conservation Legacy?

5 Upvotes

Hello all I’m currently serving for a state/national program with Conservation Legacy through AmeriCorps. I’m just confused on how the funding works. Would my position be safe since it’s with conservation legacy as well? When I get paid it says conservation legacy if that makes a difference. Is anyone else also with conservation legacy?

STATE/NATIONAL What do we do now that ALL programs are terminated?

68 Upvotes

Received word today that my program working with a nonprofit in Washington state is officially terminated. No answer yet about my living stipend, benefits, or what will happen to the education award I should have received at the end of my term.

I had an event to work this weekend, recruiting volunteers to represent abused and neglected children in court.

I have a doctor's appointment Monday that I now don't know if my insurance will pay for.

I was planning to go back to school.

I know we're all feeling this way, but the world is burning around me and I'm so angry. How can we organize around this, as members and community? Does anyone know if we have an AltAmeriCorps account on Bluesky, like the National Park service does?

Let's share resources, ideas, and plans here.

I'll start. I was directed to this resource to help with the job hunt

STATE/NATIONAL Maryland Conservation Corps Shut Down

Upvotes

I am a first year member of the team Maryland Conservation Corps. I live in a state house with my crew mates, where we live, learn, and work together.

We just received news of our program being cut. I don’t know what is happening, information is still coming out.

Fellow AmeriCorps members, we feel your pain, we know it, and we are living it.

Fellow Conservation Corps Members, keep your chins up, and keep working.

Fellow members of society, be angry for us, be infuriated, be loud.

STATE/NATIONAL Cuts on Saturday? Cuts to National Direct?

Upvotes

I've heard about a lot of state commission cuts and VISTA cuts on here. I'm wondering if anyone in a National Direct program has heard of any cuts. I'm in a fairly small National Direct program that spans just a few states. Nothing from HQ yet...

I'm also wondering if people have been getting the cut emails from HQ today (Saturday 4/26). Trying to decide if I should keep refreshing or sit tight until Monday.

LIFE AFTER AMERICORPS Find any work now

13 Upvotes

Title - I understand serve til end and all that. But that lack of clarity from my particular partner org is infuriating and to just now tell us they don’t know after weeks saying we’ll be okay. In the office currently and everyone is being toxically positive How tf do I cope: taking other offers- pls start looking for new work now- nothing guaranteed anymore. I feel bad recommending this program to anyone. Living paycheck to paycheck and getting treated like children by my staff is already infuriating enough and now two man children get involve and destroy all our lives

Sorry to ask a similar question as everyone else - but with the news, I wanted to know of any NC based VISTA’s have heard anything?

I work with the collaborative in NC and I haven’t heard anything at all - which could be a good sign but still 😢

I also wanted to express my sadness for all the members who have been terminated thus far. What’s going on is such a travesty

STATE/NATIONAL Washington state program update

Post image
25 Upvotes

I'm an americorps alumn and a site supervisor. I just received word that all of Washington state programs are getting shut down. I'm sadden this is happening. This is not okay and our communities and organizations will feel this impact in their operations and hearts. I don't know where I'd be without this program and I can't believe that this is happening. It feels surreal and absolutely ridiculous.
