Friends and Colleagues, 

Today, our CEO, Wendy Spencer, fielded questions from members of Congress about the way national service and social innovation programs are making a difference in communities across the country.

The hearing was convened by the House Appropriations Subcommittee that oversees funding for our programs.  Subcommittee Chairman Tom Cole of Oklahoma and Ranking Member Rosa DeLauro of Connecticut invited Wendy to answer questions about what we hope to achieve for the American people through the FY 2017 budget request that we sent to Congress in early February.

“No question in my mind, it’s a worthwhile use of money.” Representative Tom Cole, Oklahoma (@TomColeOK04)

In addition to Chairman Cole and Ranking Member DeLauro, Reps. Charlie Dent and Chaka Fattah, both of Pennsylvania, and Reps. Andy Harris of Maryland and Barbara Lee of California also asked questions and gave examples of how all of you are transforming lives and helping communities in their districts.

Below is a summary of highlights and links where you can find more information about the AmeriCorps, Senior Corps, Social Innovation Fund, and State Service Commissions programs that came up during the hearing.
