HR 5680 United States House · 118th Congress

American Volunteering Corporation Act

HR 5680, the American Volunteering Corporation Act, creates a new federal agency to coordinate volunteer service programs nationwide and internationally. It transfers the Peace Corps (including its Director and assets) and the Corporation for National and Community Service (including its CEO and national service programs) under this new agency, with both reporting directly to the Administrator. The Administrator, appointed by the President with Senate approval, will oversee all operations previously managed by these separate entities. The bill updates legal references to reflect this structural change, consolidating oversight under one agency without altering program funding or core activities. This is a reorganization bill, not a new policy.
