Service Responds to
Hurricane Gustav
As tens of thousands of Gulf Coast residents fled Hurricane
Gustav’s destructive path last weekend, hundreds of
AmeriCorps members and Senior Corps volunteers were on hand
to assist in the evacuation and set up and staff emergency
shelters.
The Corporation for National and Community Service, which
oversees AmeriCorps, Senior Corps, and Learn and Serve
America, has been working with FEMA, the American Red Cross,
state service commissions, and nonprofit and voluntary
groups to mobilize local members and volunteers, assess
needs, and schedule deployments of national service
participants from other states. >
