This action honors the service of AmeriCorps members who have worked full-time to address the most pressing challenges facing communities across the country. It also strengthens our civil service by enabling streamlined hiring from a pool of skilled and qualified individuals with a proven commitment to national service.This action follows a recommendation from the congressionally chartered and bipartisan National Commission on Military, National, and Public Service. At a time when only 8.7% of the federal workforce is under age 30, this Executive Order will make it easier for agencies to employ qualified and diverse young people with a strong commitment to service. It will also improve recruitment for AmeriCorps and increase the return on the federal government’s existing investment in recruiting and training AmeriCorps members.###ShareShare this page on FacebookShare this page on Xhttps://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/presidential-actions/2025/01/16/president-biden-signs-executive-order-to-facilitate-hiring-of-alumni-of-full-time-americorps-programs-2/?utm_source=link HomeThe AdministrationExecutive OfficesPrioritiesThe RecordBriefing RoomThe White HouseVisitGet InvolvedEspañol Contact UsPrivacy PolicyCopyright PolicyAccessibility Statement InstagramOpens in a new windowFacebookOpens in a new windowXOpens in a new windowYouTubeOpens in a new windowLinkedInOpens in a new windowThreadsOpens in a new windowRedditOpens in a new windowSnapchatOpens in a new window The White House 1600 Pennsylvania Ave NW Washington, DC 20500 WH.gov Scroll to Top Scroll to Top Top
