Our Foundation
Our mission: To improve lives, strengthen communities, and foster civic engagement through service and volunteering
Our purpose: To bring out the best of America
How we work: Every day in communities across the country, AmeriCorps members and AmeriCorps Seniors volunteers work directly with national, regional, or local nonprofit and community organizations to meet critical community needs
AmeriCorps’ 2022-2026 Strategic Plan defines the agency’s goals, objectives, and strategies to meet and exceed our mission to improve lives and strengthen communities. As AmeriCorps invests in community impact; the agency commits to continuous improvement and high standards of performance. AmeriCorps prioritizes operational accountability and ensures that its resources are used appropriately to assist individuals and communities across the nation. Our efforts to increase the maturity of the strategic plan and the agency’s performance management are of the utmost priority and will continue to drive our implementation to “get things done” for America.
The AmeriCorps Strategic Learning and Evidence Building Plan, also known as the learning agenda, is designed to provide the agency’s senior leadership and staff with the information needed for strategic learning and decision making to ensure the efficiency and effectiveness of the agency and its programs.
