Yesterday on Capitol Hill we hosted a congressional briefing on the critical role of states in #NationalService and AmeriCorps. Thank you to the National Service Congressional Caucus for co-hosting; to commission executive directors from Michigan Community Service Commission, Volunteer Louisiana, Serve Colorado, UServeUtah, and South Carolina Service Commission for participating in our panel discussion; and to all those who attended the briefing. And thanks to our friends at Voices for National Service for the photo! Image Description: Photo of Kaira Esgate standing at a podium. Beside her is a long table with five people seated at it. Behind the seated people is a large screen with a slide displayed on it.

It's National Intern Day, and we're thrilled to introduce our current social media intern, AmeriCorps alum Mi'Ele Booker. Mi'Ele has been with ASC for about a month and is working on some much needed market research and analytics to improve ASC's social media presence. Also, she took these photos herself! Mi'Ele says... "Hi! I’m Mi’Ele, the Social Media Intern at ASC! I’m from Detroit, and I studied Communication at Michigan State University. I served in AmeriCorps twice and love connecting with the community. Social Media Management is a field I enjoy because I can help missions thrive online. My experience interning at ASC is going amazing!" Image Descriptions: Three photos of Mi'Ele Booker
