Registering as an alum on ServiceYear.org provides access to all Service Year Alliance news, resources, and community connections.
Service year alums are a powerful network of individuals who have served that support and equip one another to get things done so that all people can thrive in strong communities. The Service Year Alums network is diverse and composed of AmeriCorps Alums, Returned Peace Corps Volunteers, YouthBuild alums, and alums from various service year programs across the country.

In 2024, Service Year Alliance is prioritizing three bodies of work related to service year alums: data, communications, and elevating alum voices.
We need better data on who serves, where they serve, and what they do after their service year. The entire service year field is lacking critical information that can support their programs, recruitment, and storytelling efforts. Service Year Alliance will work closely with state service commissions and service year programs to connect their current corps members and recent alums to ServiceYear.org and the AmeriCorps Alums LinkedIn group, building connections across generations of individuals who served and building a collective story of impact.
Service Year Alliance is committed to engaging with sector leaders to collect the most relevant and helpful resources and will share this information in quarterly communications with our growing network of alums through our newsletter, "The Alums Corner: The Scoop After Service".

After acquiring AmeriCorps Alums in 2018, Service Year Alliance created the Alumni Chapter Steering Committee — a group of nine diverse service year alums who represented the voices and perspectives of alums and alums chapters across the country. The Alumni Chapter Steering Committee helped set our alums strategy; we are grateful for their contributions to our mission and to service year alums nationwide.
The Service Year Alliance Leadership Council Alums Committee, which includes several members of the Alumni Chapter Steering Committee, is a bipartisan and cross-sector collaborative of select service year alums who act as advisers and thought leaders by bringing service year alums voices and perspectives to Service Year Alliance’s work. We will engage with these leaders on a regular basis, and they will inform and advise our work with service year alums and our broader efforts.
