District Of Columbia 

2009 - 2010

Information on the 2009 - 2010 program year current as of March 10, 2010

AmeriCorps: This year AmeriCorps will provide more than 1,900 individuals the opportunity to 

provide intensive, results-driven service to meet education, environmental, health, economic and other 

pressing needs in communities across the District of Columbia. Most AmeriCorps grant funding goes 

to the Governor-appointed Serve DC-DC Commission on National & Community Service, which in 

turn awards grants to nonprofit groups to respond to local needs. Most of the remainder of the grant 

funding is distributed by the Corporation directly to multi-state and national organizations through a 

competitive grants process. Other individuals will 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

 3,300 District Of Columbia residents have served more than 5 million hours and have qualified for 

Segal AmeriCorps Education Awards totaling more than $9,300,000. 

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

and nonprofit groups to engage more than 1,000 District Of Columbia students in community service 

linked to academic achievement and the development of civic skills. This type of learning, called 

service-learning, improves communities while preparing 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 the District of Columbia. More than 3,800 people of all ages and 

backgrounds are helping to meet local needs, strengthen communities, and increase civic engagement through 66

national service projects across the District of Columbia. Serving with national and local nonprofits, schools, faith-based

organizations and other groups, these citizens tutor and mentor children, coordinate after-school programs, build homes, 

conduct neighborhood patrols, restore the environment, respond to disasters, build nonprofit capacity and recruit and 

manage volunteers. This year, the Corporation for National and Community Service will commit more than 

$19,400,000 to support the District of Columbia communities through three national service initiatives: 

Senior Corps: More than 810 seniors in the District of Columbia 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 3,900 young people who have special needs. Senior Companions help more than 900 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 100 groups across the District of Columbia.

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

and fosters civic engagement through service and volunteering. The Corporation anually 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 202-565-2799.
