Things You Can Do

Hi!

Today we will look at things you can do during Americorps Week.

1. Give a presentation in your community:
You and some of your fellow members can arrange to speak to local groups about your experience. There is even a free presentation kit to help you.
free kit: (just click on this link)

2. Invite a local official and/or others to shadow you at work...let them be an Americorps member for a day.

3. Have an open house in your shelter to invite potential volunteers, local officials, the media, etc. to see what you do as an Americorps member.

4. Contact your local media and do an interview for Americorps Week.

5. Take Americorps pamphlets to libraries or places young people visit.

6. See if you can do some presentations at the schools.

And there are more ideas and how to do them on the site above. It can be as simple as emailing your friends. It is a good time to recruit others and celebrate yourselves.

Let us all know if you are doing anything at your service site to celebrate!

Some states are doing proclamations....don't see any of our states on the list yet. Maybe by next week! (Hey, you could call your state government and get them to do a proclamation!)

Have a great weekend!
