AmeriCorps teams pulled from N.C. Helene recovery after federal cuts

Dozens of members of a national volunteer program helping with Hurricane Helene recovery in western North Carolina have been recalled as part of the Trump administration’s cost-cutting campaign.

AmeriCorps’ National Civilian Community Corps, which sends young adults across the U.S. to respond to natural disasters and help with community projects, told volunteers Tuesday that they would exit the program early “due to programmatic circumstances beyond your control,” according to an email obtained by The Associated Press.
