[Mayor Kate Gallego @MayorGallego]

Congratulations to Thea Andrade on her historic, unanimous appointment as @PhoenixUnion superintendent.

As the first woman superintendent in PXU's history, Andrade brings a breadth of experience that will ensure a seamless transition. I look forward to working with her!

The @americorps members with Vinton-Shellsburg's Vikings Mentor Program mission is to establish long lasting relationships which will improve the attitude, attendance, and academic achievement of students. #BacktoSchoolwithAmeriCorps #PositiveDifferenceMakers

[Meredith Hansen @merehansen15]

Every year, @AmeriCorps provides educational support to over 1M youth, helping to address their academic, emotional, social, and mental health needs inside & outside the classroom. Thanks to all the #NationalService members headed #BacktoSchoolwithAmeriCorps! #Stand4Service

[Holy M😳ly @HolyMolythe3rd]

Too damn funny 😂😂

[Chiefs for Change @chiefsforchange]

In a new partnership, @ASU will automatically accept any @PhoenixUnion student who meets college admission requirements. @ChadGestson says the program is a "game changer," especially for "first-gen kids of color" who don’t have someone to help them with a college application.

[Meredith Hansen @merehansen15]

Exciting poll from @Voices4Service and @WithHonorAction finds near universal interest among young adults in @AmeriCorps. #Stand4Service https://t.co/Q3A8E05XaC

[Voices for National Service @Voices4Service]

BREAKING: Brand new poll from @tpctweet and @GQRResearch finds that 79% of young adults support expanding @AmeriCorps. Read more here: https://t.co/JRCux2QzY3

@AmeriCorps & @AmeriCorpsSR members are on the frontlines of #COVID19 assisting w/ food distribution, wellness checks & logistics at vaccination centers. They are helping students catch up from instructional loss & more. These #nationalservice members deserve a #ServiceShoutout

[Meredith Hansen @merehansen15]

Congress passes #COVID19 relief bill that includes $1B for @AmeriCorps to support critical pandemic response!!

Thank you @SenSchumer @SpeakerPelosi @ChrisCoons @RepDavidEPrice @DorisMatsui @POTUS @rosadelauro @BobbyScott @PattyMurray @SenatorWicker @RoyBlunt @TomColeOK04

What a great start to our month-long International Learning Exchange with @CityYearUK and @CityYearSoA!

The right-wing Heritage Foundation examined a 36-year time frame and found only 1,285 cases of voter fraud involving mail-in ballots out of nearly two billion votes cast — a rate of .0000007 percent. #Debates2020

[Voices for National Service @Voices4Service]

Senator @RoyBlunt, thank you for recognizing the power of @AmeriCorps and @SeniorCorps to help our nation respond to and recover from #COVID19 and for co-sponsoring the #CORPSAct. We are grateful for your #Stand4Service

[Meredith Hansen @merehansen15]

As Congress negotiates the #HEALSAct, I'm counting on leadership to #stand4service and include the bipartisan #CORPSAct to allow @AmeriCorps & @SeniorCorps to support communities with pandemic response & recovery. @RoyBlunt @PattyMurray @senalexander

[Voices for National Service @Voices4Service]

BREAKING: The #HEALSAct, the next #COVID19 recovery bill, doesn't include @AmeriCorps and @SeniorCorps!

We're counting on @RoyBlunt @pattymurray @senalexander to include the bipartisan #CORPSAct so more Americans can serve in the fight against COVID-19. #Stand4Service

[Meredith Hansen @merehansen15]

Many young Americans are entering the worst job market since the Great Depression. Expanding @AmeriCorps offers an opportunity for young people to serve their communities directly, earn an education award and living stipend, and gain important skills. #CORPSAct #Stand4Service

Let’s ‘Deploy This Army Of Goodwill’: Congress Must Expand National Service In Response To The Pandemic https://t.co/iwNhLewPaB via @cogwbur

[Meredith Hansen @merehansen15]

I support the #CORPSAct, a bipartisan bill to strengthen & expand @AmeriCorps & @SeniorCorps to help communities respond to & recover from #COVID19.
Thank you @ChrisCoons & @SenatorWicker and all of the bipartisan cosponsors of the #CORPSAct for your leadership. #Stand4Service

[Voices for National Service @Voices4Service]

Thank you, @PeteButtigieg and @ChrisCoons for raising the point that expanding national service to support #COVID19 response makes good sense because @AmeriCorps and @SeniorCorps are already working within communities.

#Stand4service

[Senator Chris Coons @ChrisCoons]

Want to ask @PeteButtigieg and me about the role national service can play in the #COVID19 recovery? Tune in tomorrow at 3:30 p.m. ET on Instagram Live at @/senatorchriscoons
