We've been saying volunteers. AmeriCorps is very careful to use the word "members". That makes sense. They give out $1.5B a year with 500 employees. In NH, that involved half a dozen sub groups that do the same services every year. I think one person per state could handle that, and s/he doesn't need a lot of DC overhead. Better to appoint somebody in each state and ask the individual states to supply a local office at low/no cost to the Feds.
