Utah 2010 - 2011

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

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

Utah. Most AmeriCorps grant funding goes to the Governor-appointed Utah Commission on Volunteers, 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 10,000 Utah residents have served more than 5 million hours and

have qualified for Segal AmeriCorps Education Awards totaling more than $20,200,000. 

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

engage more than 23,000 Utah 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 Utah. More than 31,000 people of all ages and backgrounds are helping to meet

local needs, strengthen communities, and increase civic engagement through national service in Utah. Serving with more than

760 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 $12,700,000 to support Utah communities through national service initiatives

including: 

Senior Corps: More than 6,700 seniors in Utah 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 14,000 young people who have special needs.

Senior Companions help more than 1,300 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 670 groups across Utah.

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 Utah state service commission received a Volunteer Generation Fund grant of $100,000 to

strengthen volunteer recruitment and management.

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
