Now in its eighth year, the Excellence in AmeriCorps Awards honors the outstanding and innovative State and National programs, members and alumni tackling our nation’s most-pressing challenges. The 2022 Excellence in AmeriCorps award winners represent important examples of national service, equity, impact and lifetime service.
“We are so proud of our AmeriCorps members and programs and appreciate the opportunity to highlight their work,” said Sonali Nijhawan, AmeriCorps State and National director. “All of our AmeriCorps members, State and National grantees and commission partners remind us to create space for service across the nation and while we honored a few today, we are grateful for all the countless contributions the AmeriCorps network has made.”
The 2022 Excellence in AmeriCorps award winners include:
– Angel Brown, Serve Wisconsin – Impactful Service Award
– Community Mediation Corps, Maryland – Inclusive Service Award
– Together, Nebraska – Innovative Service Award
– Eddie Aguero, California Volunteers – Lifetime Service Award
AmeriCorps State and National programs are implemented in partnership with State Service Commissions across the country. More than 1.2 million AmeriCorps alumni across all AmeriCorps programs, including State and National, have contributed more than 1.6 billion hours of service and earned nearly $4 billion in education awards since 1994. Every year, thousands of AmeriCorps members prepare students for success, rebuild communities and revitalize cities, support veterans, fight the opioid epidemic, respond to disasters, preserve public lands, strengthen education, foster economic opportunity, and more.
