We’re back again with another AmeriCorps Service week! Typically, AmeriCorps cohorts across the nation gather to serve the community, learn, and fellowship together at a location away from their host site. It's one of the many perks of serving as an AmeriCorps Member. This year, Twin Cities Habitat held their own AmeriCorps Service Week - March 28 through April 1.

*AmeriCorps members at Cedar Lake Park *

This is a week full of volunteer opportunities and celebrations for the work this group has accomplished over the last year. AmeriCorps members are a vital part of organizations like Twin Cities Habitat for Humanity. These service members make up a large portion of the workforce on each Habitat New Construction Home build site (and they serve roles in the office, too).

Thus, service week is a time they are able to learn about the various different parts of Twin Cities Habitat such as the Habitat Panel Plant where we pre-build our walls and the Twin Cities Restore Home Improvement Outlets.

*Framing walls and window openings at Habitat Panel Plant*

* We got to learn how to organize donations at Habitat Restore*

This year AmeriCorps members were also given opportunities to serve other organizations.

> *“Our crew enjoyed working on building renovations at Community Emergency Service; clearing buckthorn at Cedar Lake with the Minneapolis Park and Recreation Board; building, organizing, and pricing items at the New Brighton Restore; field preparation at Frogtown Farm, and much more! If you have a chance, ask one of the Americorps members about their favorite part of service week!"*

It has been a wonderful week of laughs, comradery, and service. This group is ready to finish out their terms with as much passion and vigor as they had when they started!
