Universal National Service Principle:
Central Texas’ Impact Community, AmeriCorps Central Texas (ACT), is a collaboration of ten local nonprofit organizations that all run AmeriCorps programs. They serve 22,000 local residents each year and offer a wide range of opportunities to create a better future through AmeriCorps service. By working together, ACT is advancing the Opportunity for All Universal National Service principle. ACT’s partners are building a more local, more diverse corps, increasing community awareness of the opportunity to serve, providing member development and support, and becoming more diverse, equitable, and inclusive organizations.
"I decided to serve because I had seen what it’s like for struggling students with limited help and wanted to give back to my community." - Kimberly Whalon, 34-year old Central Texas resident, serving as a tutor with Literacy First
"The opportunity to support collective work would help multiply all of our impact. And that's what really made ACT so unique and compelling to us." - Marisol Foster, Executive Director at Webber Family Foundation
