National Service in Connecticut

More than 5,800 people of all ages and backgrounds are helping to

meet local needs, strengthen communities, and increase civic

engagement through national service in Connecticut. Serving at more

than 1,000 locations throughout the state, 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.

MEETING COMMUNITY NEEDS IN CONNECTICUT Senior Corps:

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 1,000 young people who have special

needs. Senior Companions help more than 320 homebound

seniors and other adults maintain independence in their own

homes. RSVP volunteers conduct safety patrols, renovate homes,

protect the environment, tutor and mentor youth, respond to

natural disasters, and provide other services through more than

830 groups across Connecticut.

individuals the opportunity to provide intensive, results-driven service

to meet education, environmental, health, economic, and other

pressing needs in communities across Connecticut. Most AmeriCorps

grant funding goes to the Connecticut Commission on 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. 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 11,000 Connecticut residents have served more than 15

million hours and have qualified for Segal AmeriCorps Education

Awards totaling more than $33,240,000.

AmeriCorps: This year AmeriCorps will provide more than 830

More than 4,900 seniors in Connecticut

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 national days of service; improves

communities through the Social Innovation Fund, and leads

President Obama's national call to service initiative, United

We Serve. To learn more visit NationalService.gov or Serve.gov

Social Innovation Fund: The Social Innovation Fund transforms

 This year, the Corporation for National and Community Service (CNCS)

will commit more than $10,940,000 to support Connecticut

communities through national service initiatives. CNCS invests in

cost-effective community solutions--working hand in hand with local

partners to improve lives, expand economic opportunity, and engage

citizens in solving problems in their communities. Serving in many of

the state's most impoverished communities, CNCS provides vital

support to schools, food banks, homeless shelters, community health

clinics, youth centers, veterans service facilities, and other nonprofit

and faith-based organizations at a time of growing demand for

services. Through a unique public-private partnership, this federal

investment will leverage an additional $3,020,000 in other resources

to strengthen community impact, build local support, and increase

return on taxpayer dollars.

lives and communities using limited federal investment as a

catalyst to grow the impact of nonprofits with evidence of strong

results. It harnesses the expertise of grantmaking intermediaries

to identify, evaluate and expand effective nonprofits and

engages funding partners to contribute nearly three dollars to

every one federal dollar invested. As the Social Innovation Fund

network grows programs that work in Connecticut, more people

are able to overcome their most pressing challenges in the areas

of economic opportunity, health, and youth development. The

Social Innovation Fund is investing $440,000 in expanding the

impact of 2 nonprofits in Connecticut.
