              Native Nations
              Through national service, AmeriCorps provides the opportunities for Native Nations and Indigenous communities to address their unique priorities.
      Communities and InitiativesNative NationsUnited We Serve
                AmeriCorps Partnerships and Programs Across Indian Country

National service and volunteerism are deeply woven into the American fabric, spanning every state, U.S. territory and an ever-growing number of Native Nations and native-led entities/organizations. AmeriCorps’ is committed to honoring our obligation to federal trust responsibility and strengthening our nation-to-nation relationships.

Through national service, AmeriCorps provides the opportunities for Indigenous communities to address their unique priorities by leveraging the power of people and culture of service that has existed since time immemorial.

                    AmeriCorps funding allows us to serve our children and elders here at the Zuni Indian Reservation; our programming is leading towards happiness and preserving our language and culture while providing our elders companionship.
      / Annette Quam, AmeriCorps Senior Volunteer Coordinator, Pueblo of Zuni

                    Grant Opportunities

While Native Nations, Alaska Native Nations, and native-led entities/organizations are eligible to apply to all AmeriCorps’ funding opportunities, we have two opportunities specifically for federally recognized tribes and tribal organizations that are controlled, authorized, or chartered by federally recognized tribes. **AmeriCorps’ Native Nations Grants** include three-year operating grants, which engage AmeriCorps members in time-limited-service commitments and one-year planning grants to develop programs that implement evidence-based solutions to community needs.
