What is AmeriCorps?
AmeriCorps State and National supports a wide range of local service programs that engage thousands of Americans in intensive community service each year. This program is a vital resource to the Greer Relief and the Greater Greer Community. It’s a fantastic opportunity to learn more about about successes and challenges #hereingreer.

Here’s how Rachel’s service year has impacted her:
“The staff and volunteers at Greer Relief exhibit such deep sincerity in their work while adhering to an evident standard of fun. In my year at Greer Relief I have been an advocate for single mothers, a highly-valued kickball team member, and a budgeting teacher. I’ve worked to help find shelter for the homeless in the morning and have been covered in stickers by giggling children in the afternoon. I decided to become a part of the Greer Relief team for my AmeriCorps service because I was intrigued by their process of emergency assistance, but I ultimately found it to be an organization that comprehensively supports AND engages a very cool and diverse community.”
