February is #BlackHistoryMonth! Throughout the month, you will see some incredible volunteers and organzations throughout history. What are some of your favorite black-led organizations?

We love seeing members from different programs come together!! Two of our statewide AmeriCorps programs, the @virginiacollegeadvisingcorps and @vastateparks came together for a service day. That’s what we call uniting in service!! @americorps makes a difference!

Did you have someone you looked up to when you were in school?

AmeriCorps members serve across Virginia as tutors, mentors, college advisors, and more. Often, these members are providing services and opportunities that otherwise would not exist. More students get more support and improve their academic skills as a result of time spent with AmeriCorps members. Sharisse served with the Virginia Reading Corps and shares: "“I think the greatest thing that we stand to do is that one on one time…that allows the child to break down those things that might be barriers for them learning." We're grateful for all the ways members serve at over 100 schools, afterschool programs, and more.

Does this sound like something you want to be a part of? Check out americorps.gov/join to learn more today!

We are so grateful for all our Virginia AmeriCorps

We are so grateful for all our Virginia AmeriCorps members that have served in public schools throughout the state this year!! Mary has served this year with @the_literacy_lab in @rvaschools and she shared about what this year has meant to her:

“As my service year comes to an end, I am reflecting back on my time with AmeriCorps serving at Literacy Lab. The people I got to work with and the students I came to know have changed my life for the better. I encourage anyone, a recent graduate, someone looking for a job change, or anyone that enjoys being around children to consider serving with Literacy Lab. The relationships I have built here are so unique and beautiful, and I am so proud of the progress I have seen in my students not only in their reading abilities but their growth as people and learners. Thank you AmeriCorps, Literacy Lab, and Laburnum Elementary for this wonderful experience!”

You can be the next @americorps member to have a life changing year of service! Check out my.AmeriCorps.gov! #virginiaserves #VAamericorps #americorps
