One Year of Service. A Lifetime of Impact. | AmeriCorps Week 2026 Compilation

🎙️ AmeriCorps Week 2026 — A Celebration of Service, Purpose & Impact

"AmeriCorps just gave me purpose. It gave me perspective. It gave me passion." - Alex Schwartz (eps. 94)

This special AmeriCorps Week 2026 Compilation is a love letter to the 1.3 million AmeriCorps alums who have shown up — for their communities, for each other, and for this country.

From tutoring students and fighting for national service in the south, to seniors serving post-career and young leaders finding their footing — these are the voices, stories, and testimonies of people who chose to serve. And in doing so, changed everything — including themselves.

🔥 IN THIS COMPILATION YOU'LL HEAR:

Why national service alumni are speaking up and fighting back -,we continue to serve.
How ONE year of service can shape a lifetime of leadership
The real, unfiltered impact AmeriCorps has had on careers, communities, and lives
Why 1.3 million alums need to keep telling their stories — NOW more than ever
