Welcome to USDA/AmeriCorps
When President Lincoln signed into law the act of Congress establishing the
United States Department of Agriculture on May 15, 1862, he did so with a vision of
USDA as the "People's Department." With the purpose as stated by Congress, "to
acquire among the people of the United States useful information on subjects connected
with agriculture and to procure, propagate, and distribute among the people new and
valuable seeds and plants," one clerk, four assistants and a gardener set out to bring their
services to the farmers of America.¹
As America has changed in over one hundred years since, so has the USDA,
which now reaches the lives of 260 million Americans. Today, the Department continues
to provide assistance to the nation's 2 million farmers while helping 69 million rural
residents, protecting the environment, ensuring better nutrition for women and infants,
managing 191 million acres of national forest and grassland, and ensuring healthy school
lunches for 25 million children.²
As a new member of AmeriCorps® - you are joining an entity which is based on
a principle of American society that is as old as the republic itself: the idea that, not only
does the democracy have the duty to protect and nourish the well-being of its citizens, but
that citizens have an equal duty to protect and nourish the well-being of democracy.
It is most fitting then, that the "People's Department" is leading the effort to bring
the President's national service program to fruition. USDA/ AmeriCorps members will
be planting the seeds in America for a future built upon volunteerism and community.
Working together, we have the opportunity to help Americans more than ever before. As
President Clinton stated:
"Working together we can ensure that the world we leave to the future holds the
same promise and opportunity as the one we inherited from the past."
President Clinton, April 14, 1994

Mission
The purpose of the AmeriCorps program is to "get things done"TM using the concept of
national service as a vehicle. It offers opportunities to Americans to serve their country
and earn education awards in return. It is a grassroots effort to solve the problems facing
communities across the nation.
AmeriCorps Ethic
The AmeriCorps Ethic is:
Getting things done. Our primary goal is to improve communities by meeting
their educational, nutritional, human, and environmental needs.
Strengthening communities. AmeriCorps brings together individuals from
different backgrounds and incomes, with different missions and cultures, in the
common effort to improve our communities.
Encouraging responsibility. AmeriCorps encourages members to explore and
exercise their responsibilities toward their communities, themselves and their
families - in their service experience and throughout their lives.
Expanding opportunity. AmeriCorps members receive awards to further their
education or pay back student loans, as well as valuable job experience, specialized
training, and life skills.

They are the primary contractor

On behalf of the Louisiana Serve Commission and AmeriCorps, I would like to extend
my thanks for your assistance with helping the victims of floods in the New Orleans area. Your
contribution to the flood recovery efforts was invaluable.
I trust your experience with helping all those in need was as rewarding for you as it was
to the victims you assisted. You are truly an example of AmeriCorps' pledge of "getting things
done."
Thank you for your continued dedicated service to our country and state.
Very sincerely,
