Last week, Kentucky AmeriCorps program directors gathered at Natural Bridge State Resort Park for planning, collaboration, and professional development as they prepare for the upcoming program year. Participants received valuable training, shared promising practices, and explored workforce development resources designed to support AmeriCorps members as they serve communities across Kentucky.

Thank you to our program leaders for their commitment to strengthening national service and expanding opportunities for members throughout the Commonwealth.

Good news: The House Appropriations Committee has advanced a FY27 funding bill that includes near-level funding for AmeriCorps.

This is an encouraging step forward and reflects the strong bipartisan support for the AmeriCorps members and Seniors volunteers who strengthen communities, support students, respond to disaster, assist older adults, and help meet critical local needs across country.

But the process isn’t over yet.

Help keep the momentum going by contacting your members of Congress and encouraging them to support strong FY27 funding for AmeriCorps: bit.ly/TakeActionAC
