““It is extremely gratifying to serve on the Board of such a progressive and impactful organization. Member institutions all recognize the critical need for contemporary leaders from all professions to be well-versed and confident in promoting community partnerships. With its diverse member institutions so dedicated to community engagement, PCCE is forging a new narrative on how best to cultivate the next generation of such engaged leaders.””

Victory!! Federal Court Sides with Communities: PCCE Among Coalition Restoring AmeriCorps Funding
BROAD COALITION SECURES INJUNCTION RESTORING KEY FUNDING TO AMERICORPS
Press Release | July 7, 2025
WASHINGTON, D.C. – A federal judge in the U.S. District Court for the District of Maryland granted a preliminary injunction halting the Trump Administration’s plan to dismantle AmeriCorps operations.
"Today’s ruling is an important victory for communities across the country that rely on the work of AmeriCorps," said Amb. Norm Eisen (ret.), executive chair of Democracy Defenders Fund. "From rural towns to tribal nations to urban neighborhoods, AmeriCorps provides critical services to people in need. This ruling makes clear that you don’t get to erase that on a whim – an illegal one.”
