This year AmeriCorps Week has something for everyone!


It's the most wonderful time of the year... AmeriCorps Week! Thanks to the help of the InterCorps Council, we are doing it up bigger than ever. A schedule of events is below, and make sure to join the event on facebook for up-to-the-minute updates!

Friday, March 28: Kickoff Event at Three Sheets!
We'll be at Three Sheets from 7-9 PM with AmeriCorps trivia and the announcement of the "Your Site in Seven Seconds" Vine contest! Free food, cash bar, and don't forget to wear your "A" all day!

Saturday, March 29: (Still) Getting Things Done!
HARTFORD: Help paint and organize an apartment at Hands On Hartford. Shifts available starting at 9 and ending at 3 PM. RSVP online here!

SOUTHEAST CT: From 9-1 PM in AmeriCorps will be celebrated at FRESH Farm, on the campus of the Waterford Country School, 78 Hunts Brook Rd in Quaker Hill. Let Sheri know if you can make it at spascal@ucfs.org.

Share a photo on your favorite social media platform(s) of a "moment of impact" at your service site with the hashtag #momentmonday! Don't have social media? Just email your pictures to us and we'll share it on ours! 

Tuesday, April 1: Mayors Day of Recognition for National Service
Join one of the many Mayors Day events across the Connecticut or contact Sam at srigotti@fairfield.edu for information about how to help us plan one in your own city!
