National Service in Delaware

Information reflects national service activity between February 7, 2018 and February 6, 2019

MEETING NEEDS IN DELAWARE

Last year more than 500 Americans of all ages and backgrounds met local needs, strengthened communities, and expanded

economic opportunity through national service in Delaware. The Corporation for National and Community Service (CNCS) invested

more than $4.9 million in federal funding to support cost-effective community solutions, working hand in hand with local partners

to empower citizens to solve problems. AmeriCorps members and Senior Corps volunteers are preparing today’s students for

tomorrow’s jobs, reducing crime and reviving cities, connecting veterans to services, fighting the opioid epidemic, helping seniors

live independently, and rebuilding communities after disasters.

National service participants served at more than 100 locations across Delaware, including schools, food banks, homeless shelters,

health clinics, youth centers, veterans' facilities, and other nonprofit and faith-based organizations. Through a unique publicprivate partnership, CNCS, its grantees, and project sponsors generated more than $4.8 million in outside resources from

businesses, foundations, public agencies, and other sources in Delaware in the last year. This local support strengthened

community impact and increased the return on taxpayer dollars.

AMERICORPS

Last year, more than 200 AmeriCorps members

met pressing local needs across Delaware,

making a lasting impact in communities while

gaining valuable skills and experience to

advance their careers. AmeriCorps members

serve in one of three programs:

SENIOR CORPS

AmeriCorps State & National engages men and women

in intensive service at thousands of locations across the

country through nonprofits, schools, public agencies,

tribes, and community and faith-based groups. Most

AmeriCorps grant funding goes to the Governor's

Commission on Community & Volunteer Service, the

Governor-appointed State Service Commission, which in

turn awards grants to organizations to respond to local

needs.

AmeriCorps VISTA (Volunteers In Service To America)

taps the skills, talents, and passion of Americans of all

ages to support community efforts to overcome poverty.

AmeriCorps NCCC (National Civilian Community Corps)

is a full-time, team-based residential program for 18-24

year-olds. Members develop leadership skills by

contributing to public safety, environment, and disaster

projects. FEMA Corps, a unit of NCCC, focuses solely on

disaster preparedness, response, and recovery.

In exchange for their service, AmeriCorps members earn a

Segal AmeriCorps Education Award that can be used to pay for

trade school, college, or graduate school; or to pay back

qualified student loans. Since 1994, more than 2,900

Delaware residents have served approximately 4.3 million

hours and earned education awards totaling more than $10.7

million.

Senior Corps taps the skills, talents, and experience of

Americans age 55 and over to meet a wide range of

community challenges. Last year, more than 300

Delaware seniors met critical community needs while

contributing to their own health and well-being

through one of three Senior Corps programs:

Foster Grandparentsserve one-on-one as tutors and

mentors to young people with exceptional needs.

Senior Companions help seniors and other adults

maintain independence in their own homes.

RSVP volunteersconduct safety patrols, renovate homes,

protect the environment, tutor and mentor youth, respond

to natural disasters, and provide other services.
