 We're pleased to announce that AmeriCorps' new web based recruitment and
 placement system (AC*RPS) is now available.  We are "live" and ready for
 business. The committed and the curious across America now have a place to
 go to find out which AmeriCorps opportunities are available that might
 match their interests.  They can apply to multiple programs and
 track their selection process-all at the speed of the Internet.  At this
 moment AC*RPS contains approximately 700 AmeriCorps program listings and
 thousands of AmeriCorps member assignments.  We froze new program listings
 on January 5 to allow time to transfer the AC*RPS database to a new server
 and to test system components.  AmeriCorps programs can now
 go to AC*RPS and enter new information or change listings already
 submitted.

 AC*RPS was developed based on issues, ideas and suggestions articulated by
 hundreds of people including AmeriCorps program staff (state programs,
 national direct sponsors and AmeriCorps*VISTA projects), State Commission
 staff, Corporation staff and AmeriCorps members and alumni.  AC*RPS
 simplifies the AmeriCorps application process, strengthens
 customer service, and provides a more comprehensive method to promote
 AmeriCorps and generate interest among the growing number of persons who
 access the World Wide Web.

 The launch of AC*RPS will be paralleled by the February launch of an
 extensive www.AmeriCorps.org TV/radio public service campaign.  A number
 of other web site public relations activities are being coordinated by our
 Office of Public Affairs.  And we rely upon you to help refer potential
 AmeriCorps applicants or any individual interested in information about
 AmeriCorps to our web site.

For more information, go to http://www.americorps.org/resour    ces/.  To
log-in, you will need your 8-digit or 14-digit AmeriCorps program/project
code.
