Now working in 13 cities around the country, AmericaServes is a tried-and-tested community of practice aimed at coordinating services and improving outcomes to those who have served.
We envision this comprehensive and collaborative network as providing a great service to organizations that serve any of these populations as well. Connecting individual organizations to a wide network of other service providers will allow them to share information and resources, eliminate duplication of efforts, and connect their clients effectively and efficiently to a wide variety of services to meet their unique needs.
