Agency staff at AmeriCorps received notices this week that they were being placed on leave "effective immediately." This came after President Donald Trump's Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) visited the agency's headquarters.
Reportedly, DOGE promised to cut the agency’s workforce “up to 50 percent or more.” When the notices went out, they were sent to hundreds of the agency’s 650 full-time staffers.
“During the period that you are on administrative leave you are not to enter AmeriCorps premises, access AmeriCorps systems, or attempt to use your position or authority with AmeriCorps in any way without my prior permission or prior permission of a supervisor in your chain of command,” read the notices from interim agency head Jennifer Bastress Tahmasebi.
