The Council will offer reading and discussion programs on the theme of service beginning in Fall 2012.
Meaning of Service was a reading and discussion program for AmeriCorps members that ran from 2007 to 2012.
More than 80% of AmeriCorps members who participated in Meaning of Service reported that the reading and discussion sessions challenged them to think more deeply about their impact on others, helped them examine the complexities of service and improved their ability to communicate their values and ideas to others. More than 70% said Meaning of Service helped them make sense of their AmeriCorps experience and improved relationships with other AmeriCorps members.
