With Cuts to AmeriCorps, Wisconsin Won’t Get Volunteers for Projects

The dismissal of members of AmeriCorps’ National Civilian Community Corps is having a major impact in Wisconsin, reports the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel:

One crew of young volunteers was going to build a home in northwestern Wisconsin this summer.

A second group was set to be camp counselors for a “sibling camp” in Plymouth that brings together children separated by the foster care system.

And a third crew was heading to Wausau to build and restore houses and clear trails.

But none of them are coming anymore, Wisconsin nonprofits learned Wednesday.
