The invitation functionality is a way for you to “invite” individuals applying to your program outside of the My AmeriCorps portal to complete Part 1 of the AmeriCorps enrollment form, reducing the amount of data entry on your side. New portal users will first be required to register (i.e., create a username and password) before they can then fill out Part 1 of the AmeriCorps enrollment form.
