AmeriCorps Alums’ Leadership Awards!

Since 1994, nearly 1 million Americans have served more than 1 billion hours at more than 15,000 community-based organizations.  Nevada Volunteers and AmeriCorps Alums are celebrating the legacy of AmeriCorps — and we want to hear from you!  For AmeriCorps’ 20th Anniversary, we are seeking nominations of outstanding alumni of AmeriCorps for the AmeriCorps Alums 20th Anniversary Leadership Awards.

Nominations can be submitted at twenty.americorpsalums.org from now until August 1st — and it takes less that five minutes to complete. Twenty award recipients will be announced by AmeriCorps Alums on September 12th.  Nominees should model the values of the AmeriCorps pledge, by “getting things done for America” — their year of service and beyond.  Long after their service year, they have continued to bring Americans together to strengthen our communities.  We are seeking nominees from a diverse range of backgrounds, program types, ages, and service years.  Only alumni of AmeriCorps are eligible.

Award recipients will gain access to professional development and networking opportunities designed for them.  Additionally, they gain the opportunity to be a leader in the AmeriCorps alumni community of nearly 1 million individuals.  They will help represent the AmeriCorps Alums’ voice and participate in public relations campaigns and advocacy initiatives.  All nominees have the opportunity to be featured in AmeriCorps Alums social media throughout the year.

Thank you for revealing AmeriCorps alumni’s untapped potential to transform our country!
