ServeMinnesota

Last month, three legislators visited schools in Barnum and Robbinsdale, where they learned how @math_corps, @reading_corps, and teacher preparation programs make a powerful impact. Thanks Sen. @JasonRarick, Rep. Mary Clardy, and @RepMueller for joining us!

Loved this op-ed in the @StarTribune: "For the last two decades, legislators could have funded any program that might help young readers, but they made an intentional choice to invest in a proven approach." – in @reading_corps! bit.ly/40tAKGT @Results4America

Today is a big day for Minnesota nonprofits – it's #GivetotheMax Day! No matter where you are in the state, there's probably an AmeriCorps member nearby supporting your community. Here's our donate page: givemn.org/organization/S…

We have always known that our @AmeriCorps Promise Fellow program has a powerful impact on both the students and the members who serve, and are pleased with the strong ROI that the study found. We look forward to expanding our work to serve more young people in MN! -@jdavnie

AmeriCorps colleagues from all over the country came to Minneapolis this week for America's Service Commissions' national training. It was so rewarding to learn from and share space with 1300+ talented colleges! #NationaServiceTraining

Happy #EarthDay! We 💚 the 160+ #AmeriCorps members who help care for MN's environment. They conduct energy audits, maintain trails, plant trees, fight fires, manage invasive species, & educate Minnesotans about the environment. Stay tuned for some #AmeriCorps news later today!

Bemidji Mayor Jorge Prince, Northfield Mayor Rhonda Pownell, and Duluth Mayor Roger J Reinert celebrated AmeriCorps in Minnesota too – they shared about the dedication and commitment of AmeriCorps members in their communities (photos are of an event in Duluth). #AmeriCorpsWeek
