Blunt, Colleagues Re-introduce Bill to Expand AmeriCorps

U.S. Senator Roy Blunt of Missouri joined U.S. Senators Chris Coons of Delaware and Roger Wicker of Mississippi in reintroducing the Cultivating Opportunity and Recovery from the Pandemic through Service (CORPS) Act.

The legislation would increase the number of AmeriCorps positions available to support a variety of response and recovery efforts based on community needs, including expanding food bank capacity, mentoring and tutoring students recovering from learning loss, helping to improve housing, and more.

According to Blunt, the CORPS Act will build upon the existing AmeriCorps framework, providing Americans wishing to serve with more opportunities to fill critical needs in their communities.
