Could your organization use the power of AmeriCorps to make an even greater impact on your community? AmeriCorps grants assist groups in recruiting, training, and placing individuals to address critical needs in areas like poverty, education, environmental conservation, and veterans services. All across the Commonwealth, AmeriCorps engages hundreds of individuals on a full- or part-time basis to help organizations like yours address your toughest challenges while earning support for college, graduate school, or job training.  Sample activities include tutoring and mentoring youth, assisting crime victims, building homes, and restoring parks. AmeriCorps members also mobilize community volunteers and strengthen the capacity of their organizations. To be considered for an AmeriCorps grant, a Legal Applicant Organization must meet all eligibility criteria as outlined in the Eligibility Information section of the RFP during the funding period. Want to learn more?
