Over 60 newly minted AmeriCorps members participated in a swearing-in ceremony at LAYC, on October 21 for the 2011-2012 program year.  LAYC thanks M&T Bank, which sponsors LAYC's AmeriCorps Program, and its representatives, Charles Martin, Derek Harps, and Juan Manuel Jara (pictured right, between LAYC President & CEO Lori Kaplan and AmeriCorps Program Coordinator, Carlous Price).

The new members received a blue jacket with the LAYC logo on the back and the AmeriCorps and M&T Bank logos on the sleeves.

AmeriCorps members will provide in- and out-of-school academic assistance to middle and elementary school children in Washington DC, and Maryland's Prince George's County.

Welcome to all the new members! It's going to be a great year!
