Serve Those Who Served - AmeriCorps Legacy Corps Volunteer

Are you a compassionate person who’s looking for a more meaningful, ongoing volunteer service opportunity with flexible hours? If so, we’d love to talk with you.

The Legacy Corps for Veterans and Military Families (LCVMF) project is an AmeriCorps service program that helps keep veterans and military families in their homes and communities longer - allowing them to postpone or even avoid moving to a care facility.

You may be thinking, "Sounds great! But what will I be doing?" Well, you’ll be spending time with our veteran patients so that their caregivers can get away for a few hours to run errands or simply relax. We’ll help prepare you with a comprehensive 20-hour training program - where you’ll meet the other members of your AmeriCorps cohort - and even go out with you on your first patient visit.

AmeriCorps service is more than just about volunteering, though. We provide valuable ongoing skills training and experience working with the country’s largest nonprofit hospice and home care-based health care organization. And, some additional rewards for your service may include:

• On a monthly basis, a modest living allowance to offset gas or other expenses
• At the end of the service year, a Segal AmeriCorps Education Award - approximately $1700 - that can be used to repay qualified student loans or pay for college or trade school

Since 1994, over a million AmeriCorps members have volunteered their time and skills to serve our country and to make our communities safer, stronger, and healthier. Choose the Legacy Corps program and join the other 270K+ AmeriCorps members this year who will make a huge positive impact in their communities.
