Dear Friends,

Spotlight on AmeriCorps

Anchored in Service AmeriCorps in Massachusetts Amid a rapidly changing landscape, AmeriCorps programs across Massachusetts continue to provide steady, reliable leadership in communities statewide.

Through sustained service, partnerships, and deep community engagement, AmeriCorps members help organizations adapt, grow, and deliver lasting impact where it is needed most.

Building on that steadiness, AmeriCorps programs serve as a bridge between immediate needs and long-term capacity building, bringing consistency and commitment that help communities move through change with resilience and AmerCorps Members taking their Pledge to Get

Spotlight on AmeriCorps Perkins School for the Blind

MSA’s funding, training, and support have been essential to Perkins School for the Blind’s AmeriCorps program, enabling the development of a service model that supports over 175 students with multiple disabilities and visual impairments (MDVI) and DeafBlindness each day. As a planning grantee, Perkins was able to design and launch a program grounded in

both student need and service member development, with ongoing guidance from MSA staff.

MSA support has strengthened program infrastructure through training, cohorts, and technical assistance in recruitment, retention, compliance, and performance measurement.

These resources have helped Perkins adapt and grow while maintaining a focus on expanding access for students across a 38-acre campus, including support for independent

living, communication access, orientation and mobility, assistive technology, and vocational exploration.

Through its partnership with TerraCorps, Perkins has welcomed AmeriCorps members who provide direct support to students and classrooms.

“TerraCorps was a perfect match for my science classrooms. Camille built a silkworm lab,

ordered the caterpillar eggs, and hand reared over 100 caterpillars for my classes to observe,” shared Kris Bayne, Science teacher. Additional staff noted AmeriCorps members’ impact across adaptive PE, vocational programs, and classroom instruction, highlighting their ability to build strong relationships and support student independence.

Through this partnership, AmeriCorps members not only strengthen daily learning experiences for over 175 students, but also gain meaningful, hands-on experience in education and disability services. MSA’s support ensures both student success and the

development of emerging professionals committed to inclusive service.

“All the AmeriCorps members have been a huge help to Perkins in so many ways.”

Community-Driven Impact Commonwealth Corps in Massachusetts In a time of ongoing change, Commonwealth Corps members provide consistent, communitycentered support to organizations across Massachusetts. This state-funded service program, strengthened by contributions from host site partners, expands organizational capacity, addresses critical needs, and deepens local partnerships across the Commonwealth.

Rooted in the communities where they live and serve, Commonwealth Corps members bring a deep understanding of local challenges and opportunities. Their work builds connection, advances equity, and fosters sustainable, community-driven impact, ensuring that organizations and residents alike are better equipped to navigate change.

Spotlight on Commonwealth Corps Project Citizenship

Rising anti-immigrant sentiment, shifting U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services policies, and heightened fear of deportation have significantly increased demand for trusted legal guidance. Project Citizenship's Commonwealth Corps members have helped the organization adapt to this ever-changing landscape with flexibility, care, and communitycentered outreach. To address shifting needs, members expanded outreach beyond Project

Citizenship’s existing relationships, building trust with libraries, ESOL classes, schools, and youth-serving organizations. By bringing services into spaces where immigrants already feel safe, members helped demystify the citizenship process and connect community members with reliable information and support. They also strengthened referral networks with partner organizations, ensuring clients could access comprehensive services during a period of heightened uncertainty.

Support from the Massachusetts Service Alliance (MSA) has strengthened Project Citizenship’s capacity to respond strategically to these challenges. Through a community mapping project led by Commonwealth Corps members, the organization identified gaps in its client base and developed new outreach strategies to reach historically underserved communities. In just three months, members represented Project Citizenship at 20 community events and information sessions, researched more than 400 organizations for outreach, and mapped 200 current and potential partners.

MSA’s broader network has also connected members with peers across the Commonwealth, creating opportunities to share resources, exchange strategies, and expand awareness of Project Citizenship’s services. Together, these supports have helped the organization remain intentional, connected, and resilient while continuing to serve immigrant communities with consistency and care.

Spotlight on Volunteerism Initiatives The Marion Institute, Inc

Through the Service Enterprise Initiative (SEI) program, supported by the Massachusetts Service Alliance (MSA), the Marion Institute strengthened its ability to understand, value, and integrate volunteer engagement across its work. While the organization did not previously operate a formal volunteer program, SEI revealed the extent of existing volunteer involvement and prompted a deeper examination of internal practices. With support from MSA through this program, this shift led to more intentional systems for elevating volunteers as essential contributors to the organization’s mission.

As a result of participation in the SEI program with MSA, the Marion Institute has improved how it supports, recognizes, and engages volunteers. With guidance and training

through the program, the organization has begun refining its practices to ensure volunteers are treated as true extensions of its work, strengthening both programmatic impact and internal capacity. These changes have contributed to improved volunteer satisfaction, recognition, and retention, while also helping the organization better align volunteer engagement with its broader goals.

“The Service Enterprise certification program has been instrumental in providing our organization with training, resources, and best practices for creating a successful volunteer program. Prior to this program, we engaged with volunteers on an ad-hoc basis

and didn't fully understand the impact that a formal volunteer process could have on our organization. We have completely overhauled our processes and in doing so, volunteers have become a powerful force in informing our work and exceeding our programmatic goals!” — Abigail Smith, Director of Human Resources and Operations

“Overall, the SEI program is helping us strengthen our programmatic impact and improve volunteer satisfaction, recognition, and retention."

Q&A

WITH PACE ALUM PATTI BRADLEY

The People Acting In Community Endeavors (PACE) program, a Service Enterprise Site in New Bedford, MA, began in 1979 as the Onboard Head Start program. Patti began her involvement as a parent volunteer in a preschool classroom serving 20 children ages 3 and 4. In her role as a parent volunteer, she supported the classroom teacher by reading stories to the children and assisting with classroom activities and mealtimes.

Q

Patti Bradley PACE Program ‘79

What moment best reflects your leadership, adaptability, or resilience during service?

The classroom teachers, Loretta Cruz and Trudy Medeiros, were positive role models for me as well as the children and other parents in the program. They taught me so much about developmentally appropriate skills for the children.

Q

How did your service shape your approach to leadership and community work?

I had such a positive experience. The teachers taught me many skills to work with the children and parents in the program. They encouraged me to continue my education and become a classroom lead teacher myself. I did become a Lead Teacher for the program and did that for more than 10 years. I also assisted in the development of the Home Based Program. My role was to visit 10 families each week in their home, assist parents with developmentally appropriate preschool activities to complete with their children, and have one day each week that the children attended a classroom setting to assist in the development of appropriate social skills.

Q

What skills or lessons from your service have stayed with you?

I stayed with the program for about 16 years before moving on to another program, moving up to a Child Care Director position. I worked with a team of up to 30 staff members and many volunteers. I've learned many lessons that I brought with me throughout my career. Through the Head Start Program I learned how to communicate effectively with adults and children. I learned that listening is an important component of communication. I've learned to be a positive role model and mentor to staff. I've learned the importance of encouraging volunteers, and assisting them in using their skills to choose a field of employment that is the best fit for them. I've learned how important it is to support volunteer and employee performance to encourage them to continue to grow and give their best.
