Happy Leslie Wilkoff Day! Leslie is currently our Corpsmember Assistance Administrator. This is certainly not the only role she’s had at The Corps Network –– Leslie has been at The Corps Network since the beginning! Today, September 4, marks her 4️⃣0️⃣th anniversary at TCN. Among other accomplishments… ◾ Leslie established and then led our AmeriCorps Education Awards Program for about two decades. Over the years, this program has helped Corps across the country engage tens of thousands of young adults in conservation service, education, and job training. ◾ Leslie was instrumental in setting up The Corps Network’s health insurance plan for Corpsmembers, which provides coverage to 3,000+ young people every month ❤️ ◾ Most recently, Leslie has been working on developing a Corpsmember resource library 📚 (Check it out under the Resources >> Resource Libraries tab on our website) ◾ She has also brought smiles to countless faces with her sense of humor and the incredible fabric crafts 🪡 she makes and gladly shares (hit “like” if you have a Leslie Wilkoff coaster or stuffed animal in your possession). Leslie is an institution. She is an incredible source of information about the history of the Corps community. We are so grateful to have her on our team. See this interview we did with Leslie when we surprised her with our Legacy Achievement Award in 2014. https://lnkd.in/gxdywhvy

Did You Know? -- Across the country, over 55,000 AmeriCorps members and AmeriCorps Seniors are returning to the classroom to serve as tutors and mentors, helping students improve their literacy and numeracy skills, improve graduation rates, and boost academic achievement through encouraging family involvement and assisting teachers. But at the same time -- Congress is debating a budget bill that would cut funding and pull AmeriCorps out of our schools. We’ve told our lawmakers that schools cannot afford to lose this source of people power and asked them to reject these cuts. Join us and send an email to Congress asking them to invest in AmeriCorps: bit.ly/CCFY25 #Stand4Service #AmeriCorps30 #AmeriCorpsinSchools #BacktoSchoolwithAmeriCorps.
