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. 

grants to schools, colleges, and nonprofit groups to engage

more than 27,000 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.

More than 34,000 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 740 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 $10,900,000 to support Utah communities through national

service initiatives including: 

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 690 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.

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 12,000

Utah residents have served more than 6 million hours and have

qualified for Segal AmeriCorps Education Awards totaling more

than $23,700,000.
