District Of Columbia 2010 - 2011

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

AmeriCorps: This year AmeriCorps will provide more than 1,600 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 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 3,700

District Of Columbia residents have served more than 5 million hours and have qualified for Segal AmeriCorps Education

Awards totaling more than $10,500,000. 

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

engage more than 6,900 District Of Columbia 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 the District Of Columbia. More than 9,300 people of all ages and

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

in the District Of Columbia. Serving with more than 160 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 $37,200,000 to support the District Of

Columbia communities through national service initiatives including: 

Senior Corps: More than 760 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 2,700 young people who

have special needs. Senior Companions help more than 0 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 81 groups across the District Of

Columbia.

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: The District Of Columbia received two Social Innovation Fund grants totaling $7,598,077 to support

innovative and replicable solutions to education, economic, or health challenges.
