A federal court has ordered the Trump administration to restore AmeriCorps funding to states that had been terminated in April. The ruling comes as part of a lawsuit filed by 24 states and the District of Columbia.

AmeriCorps is a federal agency focused on national service and volunteerism, with its members engaged in activities such as disaster recovery, mentoring students, and assisting veterans and military families.
