Share AmeriCorps' Impact. Through op-eds, letters to the editor, or other communications channels, you can highlight the impact of the work members do in your community.
Host an “honorary AmeriCorps member”. Invite media, an elected official, a community leader, school principal, AmeriCorps alumnus, or other local dignitary to see AmeriCorps in action by becoming an “honorary AmeriCorps member” or by doing a site visit.
In previous years, we've seen community leaders, like school principals or even elected officials participate as honorary AmeriCorps members.

Join us on Day of the A. Show off your AmeriCorps gear – new logo, old logo – it doesn’t matter! Don your favorite tee, break out your old baseball cap, or show off your AmeriCorps-themed arts and crafts project. Take a photo and share it on your personal social media channels on Thursday, March 17, in honor of the #DayoftheA.
Declare AmeriCorps Week in a state or local proclamation. Help declare March 13-19 AmeriCorps Week in your community by securing AmeriCorps Week proclamations from your city or county council, state legislature, or governor.
Spread the word about AmeriCorps. Share videos, photos, and stories on social media about AmeriCorps or your own experience throughout the week. Be sure to tag @AmeriCorps in your posts.
Say thank you. Share why you are thankful for AmeriCorps. Create a 15-30 second video expressing your #AmeriThanks to those making a difference in your communities. If you are an AmeriCorps member or alumnus, share your story.
Some prompts to get you started:
- How does AmeriCorps make an impact in your community?
- What's the most memorable/meaningful part of AmeriCorps service?
- End your message with: “Together, we are AmeriCorps,” and encourage others to share their thanks or their story.
Please submit raw videos recorded on mobile phone or camera (we're not looking for produced videos with headers/captions, etc.) to socialmedia@cns.gov by Tuesday, March 1.
Share your story. We're always looking for more stories to share. Be sure to share your service story with us to be featured during AmeriCorps Week or throughout the year!
