Colorado 2006 - 2007

Information on the 2006 - 2007 program year current as of February 1, 2007

AmeriCorps: This year AmeriCorps will provide more than 2,200 individuals the opportunity to

provide intensive, results-driven service to meet education, environmental, public safety and other

pressing needs in communities across Colorado. Roughly three-quarters of all AmeriCorps grant

funding goes to the Governor-appointed Colorado 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 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 of up

to $4,725 that can be used to pay for college or to pay back qualified student loans. Since 1994, more

than 9,300 Colorado residents have qualified for Americorps Education Awards totaling more than

$21,500,000. 

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

and nonprofit groups to support efforts to engage more than 49,000 Colorado 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. In addition to providing grants, Learn and Serve America serves as a resource on service

and service-learning to teachers, faculty members, schools, and community groups.

Meeting community needs in Colorado. More than 61,000 people of all ages and backgrounds are helping

to meet local needs, strengthen communities, and increase civic engagement through 135 national service projects across

Colorado. 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 $18,800,000 to support Colorado communities through three

national service initiatives: 

Senior Corps: More than 9,600 seniors in Colorado 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

 7,500 young people who have special needs. Senior Companions help more than 2,000 homebound

seniors and other adults maintain independence in their own homes. Retired and Senior Volunteer

Program (RSVP) volunteers conduct safety patrols for local police departments, participate in

environmental projects, tutor and mentor youth, respond to natural disasters, and provide other services

through more than 1,200 groups across Colorado.

Together with the USA Freedom Corps, the Corporation for National and Community Service is working to build a

culture of citizenship, service, and responsibility in America. To learn more about the Corporation or any of its programs,

visit www.nationalservice.gov or call 202-606-5000 or TTY 202-565-2799.
