backgrounds to serve their country,

address the nation’s most pressing

challenges, improve lives and

communities, and strengthen civic

engagement.

Meeting Needs in Delaware

Last year more than 1,200 Americans of all ages and

backgrounds united to meet local needs, strengthen

communities, and expand opportunity through national service

in Delaware. AmeriCorps invested more than $5.1 million in

federal funding to support cost-effective community solutions,

working hand in hand with local partners to empower

individuals to help communities tackle their toughest

challenges.

AmeriCorps members and AmeriCorps Seniors volunteers

are preparing today’s students for tomorrow’s jobs, helping

communities and families impacted by COVID-19 pandemic,

connecting veterans to services, fighting the opioid epidemic,

helping seniors live independently, rebuilding communities

after disasters, and leading conservation and climate change

efforts.

More than 200,000 AmeriCorps

members and AmeriCorps Seniors

volunteers serve each year,

empowering millions more to meet

needs in their communities. By

bringing people together to serve

communities, AmeriCorps is making

service to others an indispensable

part of the American experience.

AmeriCorps members and AmeriCorps Seniors volunteers

served at more than 200 locations across Delaware, including

centers, veterans' facilities, and other nonprofit and faithbased organizations. Through a unique public-private

partnership, AmeriCorps and its partners generated more

than $2.6 million in outside resources from businesses,

foundations, public agencies, and other sources in Delaware

last year. This local support strengthened community impact

and increased the return on taxpayer dollars.
