Editor’s Note: On Sunday, May 21, Vice President Mike Pence will deliver the commencement address at the University of Notre Dame. For 23 years, AmeriCorps has partnered with the University of Notre Dame to support the Alliance for Catholic Education (ACE), a highly successful teacher corps program. We asked ACE to reflect on this longstanding partnership.
This weekend, 40 seniors from the University of Notre Dame will walk
across the stage, proudly accept their diplomas, and march into their future as
members of AmeriCorps and the Alliance for Catholic Education (ACE).
They’ll be joined by more than 50 graduates from colleges and universities around the country who will be members of the 24th class of ACE Teaching Fellows. Another 75 ACE AmeriCorps teachers will earn their Master of Education degree this weekend as they near the end of their service.

Affairs of the Elderly

Giving back
is a two-way street. Senior Corps programs enrich the city of Boston, adding
meaning and purpose to the lives of the recipients as well as the volunteers
themselves.
In my
experience as Commissioner on Affairs of the Elderly for the City of Boston as
well as my time as Director of Elders Services at ABCD, I have had the
opportunity to work with Senior Corps volunteers, who are 55 and over, from all
three programs: RSVP, Senior Companions, and Foster Grandparents. What makes these
programs so special is the amazing commitment from older adult volunteers.
I have seen people volunteer for a number of reasons and at different life stages.
We have volunteers who are retired and are looking to fill their time with consistent activities. Sometimes, they are working and want to dedicate a few hours a week to their community. Some volunteers want to use the skill sets that they have developed in their career. Other times, volunteers are eager about building new skills.
Though the circumstances vary, volunteering with the following Senior Corps programs is always an
opportunity to find purposeful activities that create meaning and connection.
