DISCRIMINATION OR HARASSMENT COMPLAINT PROCEDURE
AmeriCorps Members who believe they may be subject to discrimination or harassment are advised to first talk directly to the person they suspect of engaging in harassing or discriminating behavior. If that does not work or if the member does not feel safe and comfortable doing so, they should bring it to the attention of their direct supervisor and sponsoring organization, if feasible. If the matter is not resolved to the member’s satisfaction, the member should contact the attention of the AmeriCorps regional office. The member should also contact the Equal Opportunity Program at AmeriCorps Headquarters in Washington, DC. EOP is the AmeriCorps program dedicated to and charged with reviewing and investigating claims of discrimination and harassment made by service members. Claims not brought to the attention of EOP within 45 days of their occurrence may not be accepted in a formal complaint of discrimination. No one can be required to use a program, project, or sponsor dispute resolution procedure before contacting EOP, and if another procedure is used, it does not affect the 45-day time limit. EOP may be reached at 202-606-3461 or eo@americorps.gov.
