Arizona 2010 - 2011

Information on the 2010 - 2011 program year current as of March 2, 2011

AmeriCorps: This year AmeriCorps will provide more than 2,100 individuals the opportunity to provide intensive,

results-driven service to meet education, environmental, health, economic, and other pressing needs in communities across

Arizona. Most AmeriCorps grant funding goes to the Governor-appointed Arizona Governor's Commission on Service and

Volunteerism, which in turn awards grants to nonprofit groups to respond to local needs. Most of the remainder of the grant

funding is distributed by CNCS directly to multi-state and national organizations through a competitive grants process.

Other individuals serve through AmeriCorps VISTA, whose members help bring individuals and communities out of poverty

by serving full-time to fight illiteracy, improve health services, create businesses, and increase housing opportunities, and

AmeriCorps NCCC (National Civilian Community Corps), a 10-month, full time residential program for men and women

between the ages of 18 and 24. In exchange for their service, AmeriCorps members earn an education award that can be

used to pay for college or to pay back qualified student loans. Since 1994, more than 13,000 Arizona residents have served

more than 12 million hours and have qualified for Segal AmeriCorps Education Awards totaling more than $28,200,000. 

Learn and Serve America: Learn and Serve America provides grants to schools, colleges, and nonprofit groups to

engage more than 11,000 Arizona students in community service linked to academic learning and the development of civic

skills. This type of learning, called service-learning, strengthens communities, improves academic engagement, and prepares

young people for a lifetime of responsible citizenship. Learn and Serve America also provides curricula and other resources

to teachers, faculty members, schools, and community groups.

Meeting community needs in Arizona. More than 15,000 people of all ages and backgrounds are helping to meet

local needs, strengthen communities, and increase civic engagement through national service in Arizona. Serving with more

than 360 national and local nonprofits, schools, faith-based organizations and other groups, these citizens tutor and mentor

children, support veterans and military families, provide health services, restore the environment, respond to disasters,

increase economic opportunity, and recruit and manage volunteers. This year, the Corporation for National and Community

Service (CNCS) will commit more than $19,100,000 to support Arizona communities through national service initiatives

including: 

Senior Corps: More than 1,800 seniors in Arizona contribute their time and talents in one of three Senior Corps

programs. Foster Grandparents serve one-on-one as tutors and mentors to more than 700 young people who have special

needs. Senior Companions help more than 630 homebound seniors and other adults maintain independence in their own

homes. RSVP volunteers conduct safety patrols for local police departments, protect the environment, tutor and mentor

youth, respond to natural disasters, and provide other services through more than 270 groups across Arizona.

The Corporation for National and Community Service is a federal agency that improves lives, strengthens communities, and

fosters civic engagement through service and volunteering. CNCS annually engages more than five million Americans in

service to meet local needs through Senior Corps, AmeriCorps, and Learn and Serve America, and leads President Obama's

national call to service initiative, United We Serve. To learn more visit NationalService.gov or Serve.gov or call 202-606-

5000 or TTY 1-800-833-3722.

Other Programs: Arizona received a Nonprofit Capacity Building Program grant of $219,909 to support small and

midsize nonprofits to develop and implement performance management systems.
