In late April, President Obama signed the landmark Edward M. Kennedy Serve America Act which will provide a sweeping expansion of national service that will engage millions of Americans in addressing local needs through volunteer service. The National Corporation for Community Service through AmeriCorps, will facilitate this Act and provide opportunities for all Americans, of all ages and backgrounds, to serve one to two years with all kinds of nonprofits. Examples of AmeriCorps-funded programs include Teach for America, City Year, and Citizen Schools.
