Creating AmeriCorps

Creating AmeriCorps is Catherine H. Milton's first-person account of the shaping and launching of AmeriCorps. Her story traces the emergence of the national service movement and how she and other social entrepreneurs from across the country joined with Washington policy makers, putting aside party affiliations, to create AmeriCorps. Since AmeriCorps was created 30 years ago, more than 1.2 million Americans have served in it, demonstrating how to move our nation forward through collaborative action.
