"I am an AmeriCorps member at the U.S. Vets program in Las Vegas; helping homeless veterans reintegrate into society. After completing a substance abuse treatment program I needed to get back on my feet. AmeriCorps was my answer."

When you give through Nevada Volunteers your donation has extraordinary power to change your community. That's because your dollars are combined with those of others in Nevada, and directed towards dozens of worthwhile volunteer projects.

"As an Intake Specialist, I bring in men and women, United States Veterans, who have lost their way and need a new start. I help these people regain their self-respect, return to the work force, and become self sufficient."

Your donation will help develop, train and suport thousands of volunteers who provide mentoring and tutoring for at-risk children; rehabilitation for homeless veterans; support services for disabled children, the preservation and maintanance of hundreds of acres of public lands, and much much more within your community. Visit our Americorps section to learn more about the current AmeriCorps programs.

"When I came to AmeriCorps I had exhausted all my employment opportunities due to a history of substance abuse. The only thing about AmeriCorps that appealed to me was the education award. However, serving as an AmeriCorps member has opened a world of opportunities for me, including an opportunity to continue my education."

There are many ways to invest in Nevada's communities through Nevada Volunteers. You may choose the one that best suits your needs:

• Cash or in-kind donations
• Corporate sponsorships
• Event sponsorships

"Personally, my AmeriCorps service has given me a new respect for life and connected me to my community. Being an AmeriCorps member has made a difference in my life, and I know the difference I'm making in the Las Vegas Community." --Ronney
