Every hour we serve, we’re proving why AmeriCorps matters — and why it must be protected.

Today on the Eastern Shore of Maryland, we are proud to serve and stand for something bigger than ourselves:
Empowering families, youth, and communities to resolve conflicts together.

AmeriCorps isn’t just service. It’s the engine behind community resilience, opportunity, and hope.

When we invest in service, we invest in all of us.

At CMUS, AmeriCorps service is the heart of our work.

With our AmeriCorps member, we've been able to support hundreds of students in conflict. Provide dozens of hours of mediation to local families. Engage volunteers. Their dedication, energy, and passion drives real change in our community every single day.

Without AmeriCorps, we couldn't reach as many people. We couldn’t move as fast. We couldn’t
dream as big.

AmeriCorps is essential. Our community is stronger because AmeriCorps members show up.
Let's protect national service. Let’s protect AmeriCorps.

AmeriCorps members serve domestically, strengthening our communities. CMUS is one of many service sites where you can serve.

At CMUS, AmeriCorps members are dedicated to supporting our partnership with our public schools in a year of service where we offer free resources for students, staff, and families for peaceful conflict resolution.

We'll be sharing more information about AmeriCorps! Support AmeriCorps by becoming a member or spreading the word about organizations and communities benefitted by AmeriCorps.

CMUS is proud to be one of the United Way of Kent County organizations! If you're invested in the mission of many local nonprofits, there's a good chance that by supporting United Way you're helping all of them.

Don't forget to make a reservation for the Burger Benefit at The Little Lemon Leaf Diner. Every burger and chicken sandwhich you buy, the proceeds will go directly to the United Way of Kent County.👍

We wouldn't be able to provide mediation free of charge for local families, students, businesses, and neighbors without the support of our generous peacemakers. Conflicts happen. Talks happen. Resolutions happen. That's mediation! Here's to 2025!
