What is AmeriCorps?
AmeriCorps is a federal program where members complete a year of service with non-profits, schools, and other government agencies. Members nation-wide serve systemically marginalized and historically underserved communities. At Martha O'Bryan Center, located in the heart of East Nashville, members engage in our anti-poverty mission through programs and services, employing our values of faith, hope, and love. The Martha O'Bryan Center has provided opportunities for service to AmeriCorps members since 2011!
