individuals the opportunity to provide intensive, results-driven service to

meet education, environmental, health, economic, and other pressing needs

in communities across the District Of Columbia. Most AmeriCorps grant

funding goes to the Governor-appointed Serve DC-DC Commission on

National & 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 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 7,100 District Of Columbia 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 9,300 people of all ages and backgrounds are helping to meet

local needs, strengthen communities, and increase civic engagement through

national service in the District Of Columbia. Serving with more than 150

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 $34,100,000 to support District Of Columbia 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 2,700

young people who have special needs. Senior Companions help more than 0

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 84 groups across

the District Of Columbia.

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

back qualified student loans. Since 1994, more than 4,300

The data shown represents a snapshot in time. CNCS project sites, participants, and funding change throughout the year, so the data may not reflect current

conditions. 

District of Columbia is served by the AmeriCorps NCCC campus located in Perry Point, Maryland.

In the past year, AmeriCorps NCCC teams have served on projects in Washington.

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 publishing, so figures may not reflect current conditions.

RSVP funding levels reflect the actual amount awarded to each RSVP grantee in FY 2011. The FY 2011 budget reduction was implemented by either extending or

compressing the grant period, with some grants receiving a 9-month budget period and others receiving a 15-month budget period.
