AmeriCorps is a network of local, state, and national service programs that connects more than 70,000 Americans each year in intensive service to meet our country’s critical needs in education, public safety, health, and the environment.

    The mission of the AmeriCorps Together We Prepare Program is to provide vital emergency assistance to victims and communities affected by disaster and increase preparedness in the areas of greatest need before disaster strikes by recruiting, training and supporting individuals who will provide integrated community outreach and education through Red Cross service activities focusing on homeland security.
