SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

AmeriCorps is inviting input from the public concerning the draft 2026-2030 Strategic Plan. The goal is to accurately reflect
AmeriCorps' strategic and programmatic priorities for the next four years.

AmeriCorps' proposed 2026-2030 Strategic Plan [https://americorps.gov/sites/default/files/document/2026-01/2026_2030_Strategic_Plan_Final_Draft_Jan2026.pdf ] leverages the strength of national service volunteers, agency partners, and the American public to build a network of programs
that offer effective solutions in six priority areas: Disaster Services, Economic Opportunity, Education, Environmental Stewardship,
Healthy Futures, and Veterans and Military Families. We will produce these results by investing in effective local initiatives,
engaging more Americans in volunteer service, supporting evidence-based programs, and leveraging public-private partnerships.

AmeriCorps invites the public to provide comments to inform the Strategic Plan for FY 2026-2030. In particular, comments may respond to any or all of the following questions: How might the Strategic Plan be updated to reflect current community priorities?
How can AmeriCorps best create value for its activities with stakeholders? What agency priorities are less relevant in today's environment, allowing resources to be focused elsewhere? AmeriCorps anticipates that the final Strategic Plan for FY 2026-2030 will be posted on the AmeriCorps website around February 2026.
