Recovery Corps National Meeting
March 28-29, 2023
Cohosted by Ampact and ServeMinnesota, the first annual Recovery Corps National Meeting will bring together staff, stakeholders, researchers and supporters of Recovery Corps from across the country.
Recovery Corps was developed in Minnesota and launched in 2017. Building on local success, the program expanded to Illinois in 2021 and launched in Virginia during 2022. Collectively, we have nearly 150 AmeriCorps members serving this year!
The national meeting will be an opportunity to build community, relationships and connections as we work together to strengthen the program through research, evidence and continuous improvement. This is an invite-only event and we look forward to convening our group of stakeholders for two days of learning and sharing!
