Getting Things Done

Begun in 1994, the AmeriCorps programs provide opportunities for Americans to make an intensive commitment to service. The AmeriCorps network of local, state, and national service programs engages more than 70,000 Americans in intensive service each year.

AmeriCorps members serve through more than 3,000 nonprofits, public agencies,and faith-based and other community organizations, helping meet critical needs in education, public safety, health and the environment. The variety of service opportunities is almost unlimited. Members may tutor and mentor youth, build affordable housing, teach computer skills, clean parks and streams, run after-school programs, or help communities respond to disasters.

Members serve their communities through three programs:

• AmeriCorps*State and National
• AmeriCorps*VISTA
• AmeriCorps*NCCC

Upon completion of their service, AmeriCorps members earn a Segal AmeriCorps Education Award to help finance their education.
