National Service in Nevada

More than 3,500 people of all ages and backgrounds are helping to

meet local needs, strengthen communities, and increase civic

engagement through national service in Nevada. Serving at more than

540 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 NEVADA 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 2,100 young people who have special

needs. Senior Companions help more than 600 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

320 groups across Nevada.

individuals the opportunity to provide intensive, results-driven service

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

pressing needs in communities across Nevada. Most AmeriCorps

grant funding goes to the Nevada 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. 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 3,500 Nevada

residents have served more than 4.3 million hours and have qualified

for Segal AmeriCorps Education Awards totaling more than

$8,620,000.

AmeriCorps: This year AmeriCorps will provide more than 840

More than 2,700 seniors in Nevada

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

or call 202-606-5000 or TTY 1-800-833-3722.

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

will commit more than $9,150,000 to support Nevada 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 $4,950,000 in other resources to

strengthen community impact, build local support, and increase return

on taxpayer dollars.

3 AmeriCorps National figures may include national programs headquartered in the state and/or operating sites of national programs that are headquartered in other states. Funding

reflects the estimated proportionate share of the national grant associated with operating sites in this report. Some national organizations do not report operating site data, or it

was not available at time of publishing, so figures may not reflect current conditions.
