Are you ready? National AmeriCorps Week 2010 is poised to be bigger and better than ever! It's the 15th anniversary of AmeriCorps, and May 8-15 is a time to recognize and
celebrate those who have served in, staffed or managed an AmeriCorps program and those organizations and communities that support national service.
Today, during the "Celebrate Volunteers" event, HandsOn Network and Disney Parks announced a major milestone in the
Give A Day. Get A Disney Day. program: 600,000 volunteers have served since Jan. 1. We are more than halfway to our goal of inspiring one million people to volunteer in 2010.
This Thursday, Feb.11, HandsOn Network is celebrating the landmark Give A Day. Get A Disney Day. program with the
"Celebrate Volunteers" event.
As we close out the first month of the Give A Day. Get A Disney Day. program, we’re overwhelmed by the outpouring of support: new organizations wanting to participate in the program, thousands of new projects in the pipeline, millions of volunteers searching and signing up for projects and wonderful stories from our affiliate network, partner organizations and volunteers. We’ve seen tremendous growth across the nation and created an amazing one million volunteer projects.
Points of Light Institute and our business units – HandsOn Network, MissionFish and Civic Incubator – as well as AmeriCorps Alums (which is currently incubating) - has several opportunities for individuals to work or volunteer with us.
We are looking for change agents who want to join us in our mission to inspire, equip and mobilize people to take action that changes the world! A number of skills-based volunteers spend time in our offices helping us fulfill this mission.
HandsOn Network has 250 Action Centers. Find one near you and start making a difference in your community.
