It's AmeriCorps Week, and we need your help. Ask Congress to Invest in National Service and Volunteerism
Voices for National Service is encouraging our members, friends, and supporters to take time during this week to urge Congress to fund service and volunteerism. The more letters, e-mails, faxes, and phones calls that we can generate, the more we help to amplify our voice and deliver our message.

We must tell Congress to fully fund the President’s fiscal year (FY) 2011 budget request for the Corporation for National and Community Service. This investment is required if we are to increase the number of individuals serving and work together to solve our nation's critical challenges.
