National Service in Delaware

Information reflects national service activity between April 14, 2017 and April 13, 2018

MEETING NEEDS IN DELAWARE

Last year more than 300 Americans of all ages and backgrounds met local needs, strengthened communities, and expanded

economic opportunity through national service in Delaware. The Corporation for National and Community Service (CNCS) invested

more than $3.9 million 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 60 locations across Delaware, 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 $5.3 million in outside resources from businesses,

foundations, public agencies, and other sources in FY 2017. This local support strengthened community impact and increased the

return on taxpayer dollars.

AMERICORPS

Last year, more than 200 AmeriCorps members

met pressing local needs across Delaware,

making a lasting impact in communities while

gaining valuable skills and experience to

advance their careers. AmeriCorps members

serve through one of three programs:

SENIOR CORPS

AmeriCorps State & National engages men and women

in intensive service at thousands of locations across the

country through nonprofits, schools, public agencies,

tribes, and community and faith-based groups. Most

AmeriCorps grant funding goes to the Governor's

Commission on Community & Volunteer Service, the

Governor-appointed State Service Commission, which in

turn awards grants to organizations to respond to local

needs.

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 serving

in 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 2,800

Delaware residents have served approximately 4.1 million

hours and earned education awards totaling more than $10.0

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 70

Delaware seniors met critical community needs while

contributing to longer, healthier lives 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 homebound seniors and

other adults maintain independence primarily 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.

Last year in Delaware, Foster Grandparents tutored and

mentored 1,210 young people, Senior Companions helped 140

seniors live independently, and RSVP volunteers strengthened

the impact of 0 organizations across the state.
