Thousands of Americorps members were laid off in a recent round of doge cuts. The program employed over 3,000 employees across Kansas focused on supporting communities in a variety of ways.

AmeriCorps has long provided on-the-ground support to essential community programs in much the same way the Peace Corps does abroad.

AmeriCorps is the latest government agency culled by DOGE, ending service for 265 Hoosiers in public health, children's programs and parks departments.
