AmeriCorps Week + Annual Fund!
From March 13-19, AmeriCorps, the federal agency for national service and volunteerism, will celebrate AmeriCorps Week, and the millions of Americans who have pledged to “get things done” for America.
”I joined last year as an AmeriCorps member. My 11-month term was transformational, it shed light onto my drive for leading a team and cultivating partnerships for the stewardship of our natural world. The experience I had led me to be welcomed back as the Conservation Program Manager. It is the diversity of our members, our focus on leadership development, and collective commitment to protecting the environment and people which drives my passion for AmeriCorps St. Louis. “
- Nick Ciaramitaro, ACSTL Conservation Program Manager
"I've always wanted to serve my Nation since I was a little kid. The day I graduated high school and I was free to make my own decisions, I joined the Army and later on the National Guard. Now, with AmeriCorps St. Louis, I'm able to serve more personally within my own communities and Country. The moment I was introduced to the concept of ACSTL, I was hooked. Not only does it include my own interests of firefighting and supporting my countrymen and women when in need, It also gives me the opportunity to both meet so many other like minded people who want to serve their nation in such an important way."
- Kalan Cole, ACSTL Member
In honor of AmeriCorps Week, we are officially kicking off our Annual Fund Campaign!
Now through May 5th (Give STL Day), we’re asking our ACSTL community to support our first ever “Meet The Need” annual fund campaign! Your involvement is critical to our work of drastically improving the lives and areas around us. During these uncertain times, we know making gift-giving decisions can be very difficult. That’s why we are all the more grateful to receive your contribution as we work together to build a foundation for change. Can you donate at least $28 for our 28th year in service to others?
Visit our donation page to make your contribution between now and May 5th. We appreciate your support! Stay tuned for updates on the campaign- we look forward to sharing the impact of your contribution
