Why do I #Stand4Service? #BecauseofAmeriCorps, 200K @AmeriCorps & @AmeriCorpsSr members help community orgs meet the country’s most critical needs, from housing to veterans’ services to education. RT this to thank #AmeriCorps members & alumni for their impact in our community!

@AmeriCorps @AmeriCorpsSr #BecauseofAmeriCorps, young people #GetThingsDone, all while gaining career skills and earning money for college. @AmeriCorps isn’t just essential for communities; it’s building the next generation of leaders. Tell Congress to invest in #NationalService: bit.ly/FY24AC

@AmeriCorps @AmeriCorpsSr #BecauseofAmeriCorps, there are approx. 65K @AmeriCorps & @AmeriCorpsSr members serving to prepare students for college, careers, and civic life. I encouraged my lawmakers to support #NationalService funding - join me! bit.ly/FY24AC

@AmeriCorps @AmeriCorpsSr #BecauseofAmeriCorps, every $1 that Congress invests in #NationalService returns more than $17 in benefits to our community. Congress has proposed cuts to @AmeriCorps that could severely compromise this valuable community asset. #Stand4Service

How are charter public schools preparing their students for college? 🎓📚 Many are hosting alum panels and events, providing opportunities for students to ask questions about life after graduation. @MatchEducation, @AMSACS, and MVPCS #EdThatAddsUp #CollegePrep

“There are a lot of people out there with very different ideologies and ways of seeing the world. And I didn’t see that until college. It’s taken a lot for me to learn to be respectful and see where their ideas come from.”

“Set time aside for yourself, take care of your mental health. If you get too stressed and overwhelmed, you won’t be able to get your work done.”

Match High School’s alumni panels continue today with advice for our 12th grade students on the transition to college and the college experience. #edthataddsup

What is 1 skill you wish you developed more at Match that would’ve helped in your transition after HS? - time management - study skills - asking for help

“Be patient with yourself. You don’t have to know what you want to do right away, you can change your major. Just find a stepping stone and work your way up, improve yourself.” #edthataddsup

Today and tomorrow at Match High School, alumni are sharing their college experiences w/ 11th and 12th grade students. #edthataddsup

“It’s all about selfcare and finding balance between academics and other things. In college it’s different, if you fall behind, it can be hard to catch up. If you have breaks, stay on campus around other students to get work done, get ahead.” #edthataddsup

“One thing I’m most definitely proud of is joining the military. It was a very difficult decision…I learned a lot, experienced a lot. It put me on a better path to discover what I really want to do.” #edthataddsup
