National Service in Puerto Rico

More than 2,100 people of all ages and backgrounds are helping to

meet local needs, strengthen communities, and increase civic

engagement through national service in Puerto Rico. Serving at more

than 150 locations throughout the state, 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.

MEETING COMMUNITY NEEDS IN PUERTO RICO Senior Corps:

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 2,500 young people who have special

needs. Senior Companions help more than 2,100 homebound

seniors and other adults maintain independence in their own

homes. RSVP volunteers conduct safety patrols, renovate homes,

protect the environment, tutor and mentor youth, respond to

natural disasters, and provide other services through more than

35 groups across Puerto Rico.

individuals the opportunity to provide intensive, results-driven service

to meet education, environmental, health, economic, and other

pressing needs in communities across Puerto Rico. Most AmeriCorps

grant funding goes to the Puerto Commission for Volunteerism &

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 5,000 Puerto Rico residents have served more than 10

million hours and have qualified for Segal AmeriCorps Education

Awards totaling more than $14,690,000.

AmeriCorps: This year AmeriCorps will provide more than 280

More than 1,800 seniors in Puerto Rico

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 national days of service; improves

communities through the Social Innovation Fund, 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.

 This year, the Corporation for National and Community Service (CNCS)

will commit more than $8,560,000 to support Puerto Rico communities

through national service initiatives. CNCS invests in cost-effective

community solutions--working hand in hand with local partners to

improve lives, expand economic opportunity, and engage citizens in

solving problems in their communities. Serving in many of the state's

most impoverished communities, CNCS provides vital support to

schools, food banks, homeless shelters, community health clinics,

youth centers, veterans service facilities, and other nonprofit and

faith-based organizations at a time of growing demand for services.

Through a unique public-private partnership, this federal investment

will leverage an additional $1,630,000 in other resources to

strengthen community impact, build local support, and increase return

on taxpayer dollars.

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

reflects the estimated proportionate share of the national grant associated with operating sites in this report. Some national organizations do not report operating site data, or it

was not available at time of publishing, so figures may not reflect current conditions.

investment. This figure reflects non-CNCS cash and in-kind resources that CNCS grantees and project sponsors have committed to raise to support their programming activities

across the state.
