If you have not heard yet, there have been some critically significant proposals to cut, and perhaps eliminate entirely, AmeriCorps programs (this includes the Corporation for National and Community Service – that's the gov't arm that funds most of your nation's service related programs).
This is fast moving so please do what you can ASAP. The cuts will be considered on the House floor next week!
There have been a number of sites created in the immediate aftermath of the announcement. Rather than bombard or confuse you with all the addresses, here are a few that I think have the most up to date and accurate info.
