Projects

Sponsors can request the assistance of AmeriCorps NCCC or AmeriCorps VISTA members for their projects.

AmeriCorps NCCC engages teams of members in projects that typically last from six to eight weeks, addressing critical needs in education, public safety, the environment, and other unmet needs.

AmeriCorps VISTA projects focus on building permanent infrastructure in organizations to help them more effectively bring individuals and communities out of poverty.

• For AmeriCorps NCCC, contact the AmeriCorps NCCC regional campus nearest you.
• For AmeriCorps VISTA, contact your Corporation State Office.

Organizations might also receive support through an existing Corporation grantee. To learn which grantees may offer this kind of program support to your organization, please contact the following for information:
