Every two years we publish our Volunteering and Civic Life in America report. The next report will be released this month, which will show how Americans came together during the pandemic.

One of the things our agency is excited about as we discuss COVID-19 recovery is the creation of Public Health AmeriCorps. AmeriCorps and the CDC joined forces to launch this program and support the recruitment, training, and development of the next generation of public health leaders. This program has opportunities in almost every state. Check it out: AmeriCorps.gov/PublicHealth
