Arkansas | Project Report

AmeriCorps.gov 6

 Since 1994, more than 11,000 Arkansas residents have served approximately 18 million hours

 and earned education awards totaling more than $37.7 million.

Notes: With the exception of the Current Participants column, data shown represents national service activity completed between January 20, 2023 and January 19, 2024. 1. Projects operate in communities throughout the

state. The Service Location report contains a listing of all locations with national service. 2. The service location total may contain multiple counts of unique locations where multiple AmeriCorps projects operated. For

AmeriCorps Seniors projects where 2022 service location data is unavailable, service locations associated with the project from the previous year are represented or are listed with no service locations. Projects may be

headquartered in other states. 3. Completed participants reflects all AmeriCorps members who completed service in Arkansas between January 20, 2023 and January 19, 2024. For AmeriCorps Seniors, this reflects all

volunteers funded by grants completed during that same period. 4. The Education Awards figures represent the maximum potential value of Segal AmeriCorps Education Awards that could be earned by AmeriCorps members

who completed service in Arkansas. 5. AmeriCorps State and National, Foster Grandparent, and Senior Companion federal funding reflects the estimated proportionate annual share of the federal grant associated with the

participants in this report. This includes any awarded federal American Rescue Plan funding except match replacement. AmeriCorps State and National placeholder grants have been excluded from this report. For AmeriCorps

VISTA, funding reflects the national average cost per participant. RSVP funding appears in the state where the project is based and reflects the full amount awarded to operate the completed grant. 6. Current participants

reflects national service participants serving in Arkansas as of January 19, 2024. These participants are not included in the federal funding and education award numbers in this report. 7. Total local project support reflects nonAmeriCorps cash and in-kind resources that AmeriCorps grantees committed to raise in support of their completed grants. This includes any awarded federal American Rescue Plan match replacement funding.
