View photos from this year's launch events.
An energized group of AmeriCorps*State members gathered to pledge their commitment to a year of service at launch events at Southwest 4-H Educational Center in Abingdon, Oct. 9, and Virginia Commonwealth University in Richmond, Oct. 16. The ceremonies are held each fall to introduce new AmeriCorps members embarking on a year of service to the Commonwealth. The winner of the third annual Robert E. Wone Award for Exemplary Service was announced at both ceremonies. Established in memory of Robert Wone, a member of the Governor's Commission on Community and National Service from 2002-2006, the award recognizes an AmeriCorps member who has exhibited exemplary civic engagement and community service.
