There is no gesture of kindness too small to make a difference in someone’s life. @AmeriCorps’ latest Volunteering and Civic Life in America research revealed more than 137.5 million people helped a friend or neighbor through acts of service between 2022 and 2023. This Giving Season, give the gift of your time by helping someone you know in need by raking their lawn, driving them to an appointment, or helping them decorate for the holidays.

By helping others, volunteers also help themselves. Not only are volunteers the lifeblood of our schools and shelters, hospitals and hotlines, food banks, and civic, nonprofit, tribal, and faith-based organizations across the country, but they are also essential to our nation's economic and social well-being. @AmeriCorps and @uscensusbureau's latest Volunteering and Civic Life in America research found that with more than 4.99 billion hours committed to service, volunteers make a difference in their communities while earning benefits such as hands-on experience, learning new skills, and more.

At the annual Fall Volunteer Florida Conference and Training, the City of Orlando's Operation AmeriCorps program was honored with the Program of the Year Award for the 2023-2024 service year. This recognition reflects the outstanding impact of our incredible members. I am so honored to have led a group of people that were so dedicated to our program and its mission. We extend our heartfelt thanks to Volunteer Florida, AmeriCorps, the City of Orlando, and Orange County Public Schools for their invaluable support in making this program a success.

In November, AmeriCorps members gathered to share their impactful work helping students navigate the college application process, complete FAFSA forms, secure Bright Futures scholarships, and recover credits for graduation. They also discussed their highs, lows, and wins this month at the school sites. Their collective efforts continue to make a lasting difference in students' academic journeys and future opportunities.

Today we honor Children's Grief Awareness Day, a time to recognize the strength and resilience of children navigating loss. It's important to listen, support, and let them know they are never alone on their journey. 💙 #ChildrensGriefAwareness #SupportAndHealing #AmeriCorpsOrlando

We hope you have a Happy Thanksgiving!🦃 🍂
