The AmeriCorps Pledge

I will get things done for America -
to make our people safer,
smarter, and healthier.

I will bring Americans together
to strengthen our communities.

Faced with apathy,
I will take action.

Faced with conflict,
I will seek common ground.

Faced with adversity,
I will persevere.

I will carry this commitment
with me this year and beyond.

I am an AmeriCorps member,
and I will get things done.

YPI AmeriCorps members, in addition to volunteering at various service projects, also tutor over 1,000 disadvantaged students throughout LA County. Our goal is to improve test scores by 20% and mentor our students to help improve teacher-student relations and student self-esteem.
