On November 18, 2008, over 400 Michigan's AmeriCorps*State, VISTA, and National Direct members will come together for a day of training, teambuilding, networking, and festivities. Each fall the Michigan Community Service Commission hosts the Michigan's AmeriCorps Member Celebration. This year's Celebration will be held at the Kellogg Center in East Lansing.
The Celebration will highlight the various streams of service within the national service family, including AmeriCorps*State and National, VISTA, Senior Corps, and Learn and Serve. At lunch, AmeriCorps members will visit the exhibit hall, which features information and a display for each AmeriCorps program.
The Celebration also offers several workshops focused on leadership, professional development, service project planning, and other topics relevant to members' year of service. The day's events not only help members see the impact their AmeriCorps service has on communities throughout Michigan, but the Celebration also helps members understand they are part of a significant national movement.
The swearing-in ceremony will conclude the Member Celebration by reaffirming members' commitment to AmeriCorps and national service. The Celebration is an exciting day that serves as a springboard for a successful program year.
