Abstract

The Trump administration has closed down AmeriCorps, a national agency supporting public service and volunteerism, as part of a broader effort to reduce the size of government. The shutdown included sending home AmeriCorps staff and cutting short the service of hundreds of volunteers in the National Civilian Conservation Corps program. President Trump had previously proposed eliminating AmeriCorps in his 2017 budget, citing that funding nonprofit organizations is not a federal government role. [Extracted from the article]
