AmeriThanks
Salma Preppernau
Last week Confluence celebrated AmeriCorps Week! We had the opportunity to visit some of our partner sites and to share stories of service from our amazing Members.
From Governor Brown’s AmeriCorps Week Proclamation:
“AmeriCorps provides opportunities for nearly 75,000 people annually to help communities tackle their toughest challenges through an intensive commitment to service at nonprofits, schools, public agencies, and community and faith-based groups all over the country.
In exchange for their service, AmeriCorps Members develop valuable work skills, earn money for education, and strengthen communities, and since AmeriCorps was founded in 1994, more than 20,000 Oregon residents have participated in over 27 million hours of service.
AmeriCorps Week is an opportunity to recognize the dedication and commitment of those who have chosen to serve their community through AmeriCorps and to encourage others to follow their footsteps in service.”
