"Without AmeriCorps, the center could lose hundreds of after-school program slots, a serious concern for families already on long waitlists for after-school care and summer camps."
"For that generation, I think it could create some cynicism that they were cheated from something they were promised when they made this commitment."
In April, the Center for Family Life in Sunset Park faced drastic funding cuts totaling over $950,000 from the AmeriCorps program due to changes initiated by the Trump administration. This loss threatens to eliminate hundreds of after-school program slots, leaving families in need without care options. Volunteers are uncertain about receiving the college grants they were promised. The cuts disrupt a cycle of community service and leadership, as many beneficiaries of AmeriCorps often return to serve their communities, leading to broader social impacts, particularly among first-generation college students.
