Abstract:

This collection of information includes AmeriCorps' member application, enrollment, and exit forms. The application form is used by applicants interested in serving as AmeriCorps members. The enrollment form is used by AmeriCorps members to enroll in the National Service Trust to earn Eli Segal Education Awards. The exit form is used to document the completion of a member's term of service with AmeriCorps. AmeriCorps seeks to revise the exit form to add options for granting AmeriCorps permission to share the outgoing member's name and email address with other Federal partners to help the outgoing member stay engaged in service. AmeriCorps also seeks to continue using the currently approved information collection until the revised information collection is approved by OMB. The currently approved information collection is due to expire on April 30, 2025.

Carly Bruder,

Acting Chief Program Officer.
