What is My AmeriCorps?
My AmeriCorps is an online space designed to help members manage their AmeriCorps experience. It provides an easy way for individuals to get and give important information – before, during and after their service.
This site makes it easy to search and apply for AmeriCorps service opportunities in all three AmeriCorps programs. After registering and creating a profile, potential applicants can apply and allow programs to offer service opportunities to them as well.
For those who apply to a program, My AmeriCorps makes frequently used and requested forms available online, any time. Examples include the application, reference forms, tax forms, earnings statements, and Segal AmeriCorps Education Award requests. The site is tailored to members and alumni from all three AmeriCorps programs, showing them what they need, when they need it.
In addition, My AmeriCorps includes comprehensive online help, frequently asked questions and an enhanced customer service feature, “Contact My AmeriCorps,” to get you the answers you need about the programs or the system.
How is My AmeriCorps different from the AmeriCorps website?
While the AmeriCorps website provides information to the general public, My AmeriCorps is a space just for those who serve or have served. My AmeriCorps provides interactive tools and customized information for every point in the AmeriCorps experience.
How do I access My AmeriCorps for the first time?

I’m already registered for the AmeriCorps Online Payment System. Can I use my same user name and password?
Yes. The Online Payment System is now part of the My AmeriCorps portal. Existing users and participating institutions will log into My AmeriCorps and access the Online Payment System features as they did before using the same user name and password. Only now, members and alumni will be able to access additional features available to My AmeriCorps users. Everything will be in one place, in one portal.
