- Apply for grants available from the Corporation in order to help us reach our goal of supporting 300,000 college students in service.

- Match the Segal AmeriCorps Education Award to encourage AmeriCorps alumni to attend your institution.
- Provide a full-time person to coordinate and support service on campus.
- Offer service-learning as a part of your core curriculum (in at least one discipline or school major).
- Incorporate service-learning into your teacher-training programs.
