The Corporation for National and Community Service is proud to announce the next generation of My AmeriCorps, an online space designed to help you manage your AmeriCorps VISTA experience. Visit My AmeriCorps now!

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 gives you access to interactive tools and customized information for every point in the VISTA experience.

When will it be available?

My AmeriCorps is available now. It has been built and will be launched in three phases, each building on the previous one. Phases one and two are now complete, with the next phase targeted for a Spring 2008 completion. For VISTA, the first and second phases are for new and currently serving VISTAs and alumni who served since 1994. VISTAs who served prior to AmeriCorps’ creation in 1994 will be able to use My AmeriCorps features in early 2008 with the completion of phase three.

What does My AmeriCorps do for VISTAs?

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.
