Michigan AmeriCorps Team Connects Veterans to Services 

Michigan Gov. Rick Snyder (center right) met with AmeriCorps Director Bill Basl (center left) and members of the Veterans Coalition Outreach AmeriCorps team during the Detroit Veterans Expo in the Cobo Center. We thank Gov. Snyder for recognizing AmeriCorps during his opening remarks, as well as his continued support of national service. The expo, which ran through the weekend, provided information about resources to support servicemen and women in areas such as tuition assistance and health care as they transition from military to civilian life.

AmeriCorps Working Together with Veterans

AmeriCorps has supported America’s veterans and military families through national service. And we are proud that more than 17,000 military veterans have joined AmeriCorps to continue their service since 1994.
