National Service in the District of Columbia

Information reflects national service activity between February 7, 2018 and February 6, 2019

MEETING NEEDS IN DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA

Last year more than 1,900 Americans of all ages and backgrounds met local needs, strengthened communities, and expanded

economic opportunity through national service in the District of Columbia. The Corporation for National and Community Service

(CNCS) invested more than $17.5 million in federal funding to support cost-effective community solutions, working hand in hand

with local partners to empower citizens to solve problems. AmeriCorps members and Senior Corps volunteers are preparing today’s

students for tomorrow’s jobs, reducing crime and reviving cities, connecting veterans to services, fighting the opioid epidemic,

helping seniors live independently, and rebuilding communities after disasters.

National service participants served at more than 400 locations across the District of Columbia, including schools, food banks,

homeless shelters, health clinics, youth centers, veterans' facilities, and other nonprofit and faith-based organizations. Through a

unique public-private partnership, CNCS, its grantees, and project sponsors generated more than $12.3 million in outside resources

from businesses, foundations, public agencies, and other sources in the District of Columbia in the last year. This local support

strengthened community impact and increased the return on taxpayer dollars.

AMERICORPS

Last year, more than 1,200 AmeriCorps members

met pressing local needs across the District of

Columbia, making a lasting impact in

communities while gaining valuable skills and

experience to advance their careers. AmeriCorps

members serve in one of three programs:

SENIOR CORPS

AmeriCorps State & National engages men and women

AmeriCorps VISTA (Volunteers In Service To America)

taps the skills, talents, and passion of Americans of all

ages to support community efforts to overcome poverty.

AmeriCorps NCCC (National Civilian Community Corps)

is a full-time, team-based residential program for 18-24

year-olds. Members develop leadership skills by

contributing to public safety, environment, and disaster

projects. FEMA Corps, a unit of NCCC, focuses solely on

disaster preparedness, response, and recovery.

In exchange for their service, AmeriCorps members earn a

Segal AmeriCorps Education Award that can be used to pay for

trade school, college, or graduate school; or to pay back

qualified student loans. Since 1994, more than 6,800 the

District of Columbia residents have served approximately 10

million hours and earned education awards totaling more than

$23.8 million.

Senior Corps taps the skills, talents, and experience of

Americans age 55 and over to meet a wide range of

community challenges. Last year, more than 700 the

District of Columbia seniors met critical community

needs while contributing to their own health and wellbeing through one of three Senior Corps programs:

Foster Grandparentsserve one-on-one as tutors and

mentors to young people with exceptional needs.

Senior Companions help seniors and other adults

maintain independence in their own homes.

RSVP volunteersconduct safety patrols, renovate homes,

protect the environment, tutor and mentor youth, respond

to natural disasters, and provide other services.
