The Corporation for National and Community Service plays a vital role in supporting the American culture of citizenship, service and responsibility. We are a catalyst for change and champion for the ideal that every American has skills and talents to give.

The Corporation is the nation’s largest grantmaker supporting service and volunteering. Through our Senior Corps, AmeriCorps, and Learn and Serve America programs, we provide opportunities for Americans of all ages and backgrounds to express their patriotism while addressing critical community needs.

Service Through Corporation Programs Strengthens Communities

The desire to serve extends across generations and in every part of our country. Since the Corporation’s inception:

• More than 1 billion volunteer service hours have been generated by Senior Corps volunteers;
• More than 400,000 individuals have served through AmeriCorps
• And, more than 1 million high school students participate annually in service-learning initiatives funded by Learn and Serve America

The members and volunteers who serve in Corporation programs provide vital assistance to institutions and organizations that serve the public, including:

• National and local nonprofits
• Schools
• Faith-based and other community organizations
• Public agencies

Drawing on their skills, experience and concern for others, they provide a wide range of services. These include tutoring at-risk youth, building homes for low-income people, responding to natural disasters, and caring for homebound seniors. In addition, members and volunteers help mobilize other volunteers and build the capacity of local organizations.
