Resources for Campus Corps Alumni to Stay Involved

The Montana AmeriCorps Alumni network (logo above) maintains an active facebook page
 to keep former members in the loop!


It's that bittersweet time of year when Campus Corps members are completing their terms and being exited from the program, happy to have had a positive impact upon their communities but at the same time sad to see such a good thing come to a close.  As they move on to their next steps, we ask that they not view this as an end to their involvement with the Campus Corps program, and with their affiliation with the national AmeriCorps program.


There are numerous ways to remain part of the Montana Campus Compact and the AmeriCorps community well into the future. Whether former members participate in National Service Day events and seek out other special projects taking place in their area or possibly one day become a resource for creating future partnerships with whichever organizations they may be employed.  Social networking has greatly expanded the ease with which we can network with other alumni, as well as with current members of the programs that so greatly impacted us. For instance, there is both a national AmeriCorps Alumni Facebook page as well as a facebook page for AmeriCorps volunteers that specifically served in the state of Montana. AmeriCorpsAlums.org and the Montana Campus Compact website,  MTCompact.org, provide additional venues to catch up on the latest happenings with our service programs. So as you submit those final timelogs and say your goodbyes to fellow Corps members, remember that there are plenty of ways to continue your involvement with the AmeriCorps Campus Corps program!
