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.  AmeriCorps members serve with more than 3,000 nonprofits, public agencies, and faith-based and community organizations. Since 1994, more than 400,000 men and women have provided needed assistance to millions of Americans across the nation through their AmeriCorps service.

Hallsdale-Powell supports the work of the local AmeriCorps program.  Some of this funding is used to help compliment the Water on Wheels education program that the District has implemented.  The curriculum for  Water on Wheels focusing primarily on elementary age, whereas the local AmeriCorps program is developed with the middle and high schools students performing more hands on field learning activities.
