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

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

in communities across Arizona. Most AmeriCorps grant funding goes to the

Governor-appointed Arizona Governor's Commission on Service and

Volunteerism, 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 4,300 Arizona 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 8,200 people of all ages and backgrounds are helping to meet

local needs, strengthen communities, and increase civic engagement through

national service in Arizona. Serving with more than 280 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 $15,600,000 to support Arizona 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 1,400

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

860 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 220 groups across

Arizona.

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 14,000

Arizona residents have served more than 14 million hours and

have qualified for Segal AmeriCorps Education Awards totaling

more than $32,700,000.

AmeriCorps: This year AmeriCorps will provide more than 2,000

Senior Corps: More than 1,900 seniors in Arizona contribute

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. 

Arizona is served by the AmeriCorps NCCC campus located in Denver, Colorado.

In the past year, AmeriCorps NCCC teams have served on projects in Flagstaff, Prescott, Crown King, Marana, Phoenix, Casa Grande, Tucson.

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.
