individuals the opportunity to provide intensive, results-driven service to

meet education, environmental, health, economic, and other pressing needs

in communities across Colorado. Most AmeriCorps grant funding goes to the

Governor-appointed Governor's Commission on 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 CNCS directly to multistate 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. 

grants to schools, colleges, and nonprofit groups to engage

more than 5,100 Colorado 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.

More than 16,000 people of all ages and backgrounds are helping to meet

local needs, strengthen communities, and increase civic engagement through

national service in Colorado. Serving with more than 1,100 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 $31,500,000 to support Colorado communities through national

service initiatives including: 

their time and talents in one of three Senior Corps programs. Foster

Grandparents serve one-on-one as tutors and mentors to more than 7,600

young people who have special needs. Senior Companions help more than

4,900 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 1,000

groups across Colorado.

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.

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 25,000

Colorado residents have served more than 20 million hours and

have qualified for Segal AmeriCorps Education Awards totaling

more than $47,000,000.

The data shown represents a snapshot in time. CNCS project sites, participants, and funding change throughout the year, so the data may not reflect current

conditions. 

Colorado is home to the Southwest Region campus of AmeriCorps NCCC, located in Denver. Members based at this campus perform service projects throughout

Colorado and AR, AZ, KS, MO, NM, OK, and TX.

AmeriCorps National figures may include national programs headquartered in the state and/or operating sites of national programs that are headquartered in other

states. Some national organizations do not report operating site data, or it wasn't available at time of publishing, so figures may not reflect current conditions.

RSVP funding levels reflect the actual amount awarded to each RSVP grantee in FY 2011. The FY 2011 budget reduction was implemented by either extending or

compressing the grant period, with some grants receiving a 9-month budget period and others receiving a 15-month budget period.
