New Hampshire organizations affected by federal cuts to AmeriCorps shared their concerns Monday morning with members of New Hampshire's congressional delegation.
The New Hampshire Executive Council voted to cut funding for several AmeriCorps programs, impacting organizations like Granite State Ambassadors, which will lose $1.3 million in funding, and the Campus Compact, which will see a reduction of $400,000. These cuts, effective from August, will affect services such as mentoring for at-risk youth, environmental education, and support for college students in community service. The decision has drawn criticism from program beneficiaries and supporters who argue that these programs are vital for community development and support. The state's Department of Education, which oversees the AmeriCorps grants, expressed disappointment over the cuts, emphasizing the programs' importance in fostering civic engagement and providing essential services.
