Thanks to AmeriCorps, nonprofits nationwide have incredible people on their team — people like our very own bloggers Robin and Nate, both of whom came through that program. I’m not sure why I didn’t know more about AmeriCorps when I was just out of school — I’m pretty sure it’s the type of service work (especially the NCCC team!) I’d have loved to do for a year or two.

In any case, this video will give you just a little taste of what our AmeriCorps members do for the Red Cross and many other organizations nationwide. And, if you want to get involved here in Oregon, visit our website!
