Anticipated Impact

Since its inception in 1993, AmeriCorps National Civilian Community Corps (NCCC) has recruited thousands of people every year between the ages of 18 and 26 to work on projects across the country, including disaster mitigation, preparedness, response, and recovery efforts, in exchange for early career experience and assistance with federal student loans. But on April 15, 2025, AmeriCorps NCCC emailed all members to announce that, in alignment with DOGE cost-cutting priorities, all NCCC members are being terminated from the program, ending their pay on April 30 and restricting their eligibility for NCCC's student loan assistance.
