Public Administration ReviewSummary: During its nine years of existence, AmeriCorps has had a tremendous impact on its volunteers and the communities it serves. Despite concerns expressed by the Republican congressional leadership, the Corporation for National and Community Service - the federally funded administrative organization that directs AmeriCorps programs at the national level - has made clear its intention to operate in a nonpartisan, politically neutral manner. A study of AmeriCorps programs in four western states finds the corporation is accomplishing its "neutrality" objective and is rebuilding a sense of civic-mindedness in a manner that locks gender or racial bias - a critical element in reestablishing a strong choral society all the while properly respecting diversity. - Reproduced.
