Wednesday March 14th, Catalyst Miami hosted AmeriCorps Works: Save Service Strategy Session. The program was an evening discussion of current AmeriCorps legislation and advocacy strategies to save national service. AmeriCorps is part of the Corporation for National and Community Service and serves an important role as the Federal sponsored civilian service institution.
Catalyst Miami hosts several AmeriCorps programs employing
VISTA (Volunteers in Service to America), sponsoring Public Allies and ReServe.
Daniella Levine is a firm believer in the power of AmeriCorps and community
volunteers in reaching solutions to social ills.
The event was a first of it’s kind meeting to engage various
stakeholders including community members, and participants of VISTA, Teach for
America, City Year, and Public Allies. Attendants included a team of AmeriCorps
NCCC volunteers that managed to secure permission to attend the advocacy event.
