Utah 2009 - 2010

Information on the 2009 - 2010 program year current as of March 10, 2010

AmeriCorps: This year AmeriCorps will provide more than 1,000 individuals the opportunity to 

provide intensive, results-driven service to meet education, environmental, health, economic and other 

pressing needs in communities across Utah. Most AmeriCorps grant funding goes to the Governorappointed Utah Commission on 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 the Corporation directly to 

multi-state and national organizations through a competitive grants process. Other individuals will 

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 9,500 Utah residents have served more than 4 

million hours and have qualified for Segal AmeriCorps Education Awards totaling more than 

$17,200,000. 

Learn and Serve America: Learn and Serve America provides grants to schools, colleges, 

and nonprofit groups to engage more than 27,000 Utah students in community service linked to 

academic achievement and the development of civic skills. This type of learning, called servicelearning, improves communities while preparing 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.

Meeting community needs in Utah. More than 35,000 people of all ages and backgrounds are helping to 

meet local needs, strengthen communities, and increase civic engagement through 87 national service projects across 

Utah. Serving with national and local nonprofits, schools, faith-based organizations and other groups, these citizens tutor

and mentor children, coordinate after-school programs, build homes, conduct neighborhood patrols, restore the 

environment, respond to disasters, build nonprofit capacity and recruit and manage volunteers. This year, the 

Corporation for National and Community Service will commit more than $9,000,000 to support Utah communities 

through three national service initiatives: 

Senior Corps: More than 7,900 seniors in Utah 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 

15,000 young people who have special needs. Senior Companions help more than 1,300 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 680 groups across Utah.

The Corporation for National and Community Service is a federal agency that improves lives, strengthens communitites,

and fosters civic engagement through service and volunteering. The Corporation anually 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 202-565-2799.
