Robert Godfried Writes a Piece for The Washington Monthly on How AmeriCorps Should Embrace Workforce Development
The national service program was left out of the Inflation Reduction Act. Even without this funding, there’s a lot that can be done.
Next100 Policy Entrepreneur Robert Godfried wrote an op-ed that was published in The Washington Monthly about the actions that the federal AmeriCorps Agency, Congress, and grantee organizations can take to advance workforce development in AmeriCorps. Robert writes:
“AmeriCorps can live up to [its] grand ideals… if the agency, Congress, and the Biden administration embrace workforce development best practices and pay corps members better wages. With these changes, the program can truly be an accessible, equitable, and empowering pathway for young people to start their careers in public service.”
