AmeriCorps service is more than giving back to your community. It’s a chance to gain hands-on experience, explore your interests, build skills, and take the next step toward whatever comes next.

Our 2026–27 CORE Susquehanna AmeriCorps term begins August 31, and we still have opportunities available!

Who better to give advice to our next group of CORE members than the people who just finished their own year of service? 💚

We asked our members what advice they would give someone just starting their AmeriCorps journey.

Here's what they had to say. 👇

Apparently we learned some very important things at this year’s Stronger Service Summit. 😂

We brought AmeriPants back to CORE for our End of Year Celebration, and needless to say, it was a hit.

Shoutout to Brian with The Service Xchange for introducing us to this one during his training at the Summit. We had to steal it! 😂💚

STILL can't get over how awesome this was!

So proud of these two!

Congratulations to our 2025-2026 AmeriCorps Member of the Year, Jayden Wasielewski, and Summer Member of the Year, Connor Wenrich! 🎉

Two very well deserved awards. Thank you both for everything you brought to your service this year!

Proud is an understatement!

Our AmeriCorps members received two of the four highest honor annual awards by CORE Susquehanna AmeriCorps today: Connor won Summer Member of the Year and Jayden won Member of the Year!

How lucky were we to have such amazing, hardworking teammates??

Congrats, Connor and Jayden! 🤩

Yesterday officially marked the end of our 2025–2026 CORE Susquehanna AmeriCorps service term. 💚

We came together for our Celebration of Service to reflect on the year, celebrate our members, and recognize the incredible impact they made across our communities.

This year, 24 CORE AmeriCorps members:

✨ Served more than 17,500 hours
🤝 Served 6,285 people
💚 Supported 2,255 youth
🙌 Recruited 481 volunteers
🏘️ Supported 481 organizations

But the numbers only tell part of the story.

One of the most meaningful parts of our celebration was hearing from site supervisors about the impact members had at their organizations. They shared stories of growth, accomplishments, relationships built, and just how much having an AmeriCorps member meant to their sites.

It was a day full of reflection, recognition, laughter, a few tears, and a whole lot of appreciation for everything this group accomplished.

To our 2025–2026 members: thank you for showing up, serving your communities, and making this year one to remember. We are so proud of you! 💚

Here’s to 17,500+ hours of service and an impact that will last far beyond them. 🎉

We often get the question: "What is AmeriCorps?"

Imagine this:
You live in a small town in Central PA. The library needs volunteers for a kids’ reading program. A local nonprofit needs help delivering food to families. A school is searching for someone to mentor students who’ve fallen behind.

In walks an AmeriCorps member.

Not for a paycheck. Not because it’s easy. But because they’ve chosen to spend a year getting things done for their neighbors.
AmeriCorps is a national service program—kind of like a “domestic Peace Corps.” Members serve in schools, nonprofits, and community organizations to tackle tough challenges in education, health, the environment, and more. Since 1994, more than 1.25 million Americans have served, giving over 1.6 billion hours to strengthen communities.

Here in Central PA, our program, CORE Susquehanna AmeriCorps, places members across 11 counties. From tutoring students to organizing community events to building capacity for local nonprofits, our members bring people together and create lasting change.

It’s not just service - it’s growth.

Members earn a living stipend, an education award to help pay for school or student loans, and gain hands-on skills that last a lifetime. They join a network of passionate changemakers nationwide.
So next time you see someone in an AmeriCorps shirt, know this: they’re here to help. And maybe… one day, it could be you. 💙
