WTAMU AmeriCorps
A Little Bit About Us
We serve our communites in many different ways. Here is just a small part of what we do.
Who we are:
What we do:
We serve under-resourced and rural communities across the Texas Panhandle by augmenting existing systems and partnering with community-based organizations, educational institutions, and other groups working to meet community needs.
WTAMU’s AmeriCorps program focuses on direct services, capacity building, and civic engagement to improve economic opportunity, educational attainment, and environmental stewardship that leads to community resilience and improves access to opportunity.
Why we do it:
The Texas Panhandle faces multifaceted challenges that can strain resources and restrict growth and vitality.
WTAMU, the Office of Academic & Regional Collaboration, and the WTAMU AmeriCorps program are committed to being an active regional partner; working together, across multiple sectors and communities, to increase opportunity, engagement, and investment in the region. We strive to help build a more supportive, resilient, inclusive, and equitable environment where all people thrive in sustainable careers and communities.
