What the Face of AmeriCorps Looks Like
Published October 06, 2009 @ 06:31AM PT
In previous posts, I have mentioned the magnitude and diversity of the AmeriCorps program, and I've even featured AmeriCorps Alums who have translated their year of service into a lifetime career.
Despite this, it is still sometimes hard to put a face on what AmeriCorps is. But that is exactly what AmeriCorps Alum and Program Consultant for Volunteer Florida, Ericka Zdenek is trying to do.
Zdenek's goal is to collect half a million photos of AmeriCorps members, alumni, and support staff holding "I AM AMERICORPS" signs. The idea came out of the AmeriCorps Alums parade at the Inauguration, when AmeriCorps Alums marched with "I am AmeriCorps Alums" signs.
How can you get involved?
- Check out the "I AM AMERICORPS" Facebook Page developed by Zdenek.
- Post your own "I AM AMERICORPS" Photo on Flickr.
- Join AmeriCorps and become a part of a national movement.
