Michael D. Smith celebrated AmeriCorps members and AmeriCorps Seniors volunteers for service achievements, met with anti-drug coalition to discuss reducing youth drug abuse
WASHINGTON, DC — Michael D. Smith, AmeriCorps CEO, visited Tennessee recently to meet with AmeriCorps members, honor service achievements and learn more about AmeriCorps Seniors service opportunities in local communities. Smith also met with an anti-drug coalition, discussing strategies to reduce drug abuse in young people.
Ed Batsel and Eliza Eules were honored with the awards. Batsel has served multiple programs, including AmeriCorps Seniors, for more than 25 years. Eules, also an AmeriCorps Seniors volunteer, has served for 26 years.
The Roane County Anti-Drug Coalition, a private, nonprofit, grassroots organization, recently recorded a 39-percent reduction in prevalence of substance use in the county, and a $14.66 savings in Public Burden Spending for every dollar spent on prevention.
AmeriCorps offers opportunities for individuals of all backgrounds to be a part of the national service community, grow personally and professionally, and receive benefits for their service.
