Applying for AmeriCorps State Funds
The Request for Applications (RFA) for the 2026-2027 program year will be available soon.
To prepare in advance of the RFA, take a look at last year’s request for applications. Please note, you are responsible for reading the RFA current to the year you are applying to before submitting your application.
Please note: Once the RFA is released, Serve Virginia staff will be unable to provide support to individual applicants.

The RFA will be available soon. All current RFAs will be listed on eVA, and applications must meet requirements for the most current RFA.

Youth Mental Health Corps Applications
Organizations interested in participating in Virginia’s Youth Mental Health Corps should plan to complete an application for the 2026-2027 Program Year. Please contact Mackenzie Vuotto at mackenzie.vuotto@dss.virginia.gov for more information.
Within the application, you will designate how many of members will participate in the Youth Mental Health Corps and their proposed service and training. Organizations should also review the Portrait of a Thriving Youth framework from Youth-Nex, which will need to align with your program plan.
