Service Event Reminder- Can you believe it is already March? As you are making plans for the spring, we strongly encourage you to take a look at the Service Events page and find a way you can serve at an event before the end of the school year. There are still a few months left in this school year for you to impact the greater service community as a Relay AmeriCorps member.
Texas Member Online Training- Hello Relay Texas! All AmeriCorps members in Texas are required to be trained in basic disaster services.
