> AmeriCorps is like the Grammy Song of the Year noms … Say what now?
> 
> We love music here at CNCS, and we noticed that the records up for the Song of the Year Grammy have a certain AmeriCorps feel about them. Stay with us – we’re going somewhere with this.
> 
> Adele, “Hello”
> 
> 
> It’s difficult to be a wallflower in AmeriCorps, because we travel to lots of places and say “hello” to lots of people. Often, the hello comes “from the outside” because we’re there to help after on projects to protect the environment, support education initiatives, and help after natural disasters. There’s nothing more comforting in a time of trouble than hearing someone say, “Hello, how are you?”

> Beyonce, “Formation”

> Service is interwoven with the fabric of America. Many choose to serve through the military in branches of our Armed Forces to protect our country. Others do their part by participating through AmeriCorps, performing tasks that improve communities and make our nation a better place to live. In fact, thousands of our nation’s veterans participate in AmeriCorps and Senior Corps programs every year. OK ladies (and gentlemen), let’s get in formation….
> 
> Rihanna featuring Drake, “Work”
> 
> 
> Some people will tell you that national service is all “work, work, work, work, work, work.” That’s not true. And we don’t call it “work” at AmeriCorps, we call it “service.” There are countless ways you can serve and build skills in AmeriCorps that you’ll use for your entire life – and you can have a lot of fun doing it. Maybe not as much fun as Rihanna and Drake, but you get the picture.

> Lukas Graham - “7 Years”
> 
> 
> Need money for college or trade school to continue your education? We’ve got you covered. Every AmeriCorps member who competes his or her term is eligible for a Segal AmeriCorps Education Award that can be applied to college tuition or eligible student loans. And you have “7 Years” after your service to use it, because “soon you’ll be 30 years old” and you don’t want to still be paying for college. (We’re optimists.)

> twenty one pilots - “Stressed Out”

> Life can be stressful, even for our AmeriCorps members. But it’s nice to know your team and the national service family are standing behind you as you serve. The AmeriCorps family is now 1 million strong and growing, and we are working to connect our alums to jobs through our Employers of National Service initiative. This program has enlisted more than 400 employers that are looking for people just like our members to fill openings in the 2.3 million jobs they represent. That’s one less thing to be stressed out about.
