AmeriCorps is a national service program that engages the energy and idealism of the American people, especially young people, in meeting the most critical educational, public safety, human, and environmental needs of our communities. AmeriCorps strengthens communities, the ethic of service, and the civic character of our people, while rewarding those who answer the call to service with enhanced educational opportunity. |

Throughout our nation, schools are discovering the value of service learning through projects that link education and service.
