Disability Inclusion

Inclusion refers to the active engagement of people with disabilities as service members and volunteers in all levels of national and community service. Everyone can be in AmeriCorps because everyone has something to offer to their community. Ensuring that AmeriCorps opportunities are inclusive to all people is a priority for Serve Wisconsin. We hope to see Wisconsin’s AmeriCorps programs recruit and retain more members with disabilities. Serve Wisconsin will facilitate programs' applications to AmeriCorps for disability inclusion funding when such funding is available.
