Gov. Jay Inslee announces federal AmeriCorps funding awarded to Serve Washington
September 10, 2021
Serve Washington receives $17.6 million to support 1,445 AmeriCorps members statewide
“AmeriCorps members serve our communities’ most vulnerable residents. This has never been truer than during the past two years, when many AmeriCorps members pivoted to support pandemic relief efforts such as assisting with virtual education, food security, assembling test kits and setting up shelters,” Inslee said. “AmeriCorps members are an essential component of our community safety net at all times, but I especially want to thank them for their response to the pandemic and the ongoing support they will provide in supporting Washington’s recovery.”
