Meeting Needs in Utah

Last year more than 3,700 Americans of all ages and

backgrounds united to meet local needs, strengthen

communities, and expand opportunity through national

service in Utah. AmeriCorps invested more than $13.6 million

in federal funding to support cost-effective community

solutions, working hand in hand with local partners to

empower individuals to help communities tackle their

toughest challenges.

AmeriCorps members and AmeriCorps Seniors volunteers

are preparing today’s students for tomorrow’s jobs, helping

communities and families impacted by COVID-19, connecting

veterans to services, fighting the opioid epidemic, helping

seniors live independently, rebuilding communities after

disasters, and leading conservation and climate change

efforts.

AmeriCorps members and AmeriCorps Seniors volunteers

served at more than 500 locations across Utah, including

schools, food banks, homeless shelters, health clinics, youth

centers, veterans' facilities, and other nonprofit and faithbased organizations. Through a unique public-private

partnership, AmeriCorps and its partners generated more

than $4.7 million in outside resources from businesses,

foundations, public agencies, and other sources in Utah last

year. This local support strengthened community impact and

increased the return on taxpayer dollars.

What is AmeriCorps?

AmeriCorps is the federal

agency for national service and

volunteerism. AmeriCorps provides

opportunities for Americans of all

backgrounds to serve their country,

address the nation’s most pressing

challenges, improve lives and

communities, and strengthen civic

engagement.

Bringing Out the Best

in America

More than 250,000 AmeriCorps

members and AmeriCorps Seniors

volunteers serve each year,

empowering millions more to meet

needs in their communities. By

bringing people together to serve

communities, AmeriCorps is making

service to others an indispensable

part of the American experience.

Segal AmeriCorps

Education Award

After successful completion of

service, AmeriCorps members earn a

Segal AmeriCorps Education Award

to pay for qualified educational

costs. Since 1994, more than 21,000

Utah residents have served

approximately 20 million hours and

earned education awards totaling

more than $50.5 million. Higher

education institutions and other

organizations in Utah have received

more than $36.4 million in education

award payments since 1994.

National Service in Utah

Our Programs and Initiatives

AmeriCorps State and National awards grants to organizations to engage individuals in sustained service

to address local, regional, and national challenges. Thousands of opportunities exist in locations across the

country to serve with nonprofits, schools, public agencies, tribes, and community and faith-based groups.

Most AmeriCorps grant funding goes to Utah Commission on Service & Volunteerism, the Governorappointed State Service Commission, which in turn awards grants to organizations to respond to local

needs.

AmeriCorps VISTA places individuals with nonprofit organizations, public agencies, and tribal

governments to expand reach and deepen impact in making sustainable change that alleviates the impact

of poverty. Through fundraising, volunteer recruitment, program development, and more, AmeriCorps

members gain experience and leadership skills that put them on track for a life of service in the public,

private, or nonprofit sector.

AmeriCorps NCCC is a full-time, team-based, residential program for 18–26-year-olds. Whether building

homes for families in need or accelerating our nation’s capacity to respond to a crisis, AmeriCorps NCCC

members engage in a variety of community identified projects during their service term, while developing

leadership, teamwork, and professional skills. AmeriCorps NCCC FEMA Corps serves communities, in

coordination with FEMA, through disaster preparedness, response, and recovery.

AmeriCorps Seniors Foster Grandparents provides grants to organizations to engage low-income

Americans aged 55 and older in providing one-on-one mentoring and academic support to children with

special or exceptional needs. In 2020, Foster Grandparents in Utah served more than 4,850 young people

with special needs.

AmeriCorps Seniors Senior Companions provides grants to organizations to engage low-income

Americans aged 55 and older in providing supportive, individualized services to help homebound seniors

and other adults maintain their dignity and independence. In 2020, Seniors Companions in Utah provided

independent living support to more than 600 individuals.

AmeriCorps Seniors RSVP provides grants to organizations to engage Americans aged 55 and older in

tutoring and mentoring youth, responding to natural disasters, supporting veterans and their families, and

meeting other critical needs.

Volunteer Generation Fund supports voluntary organizations and state service commissions in boosting

the impact of volunteers in addressing critical community needs.

MLK Day of Service is observed each year on the third Monday in January. It is the only federal holiday

designated as a national day of service to encourage all Americans to volunteer to deepen ties to

communities, expand racial equity, and solidify service to others as a national commitment.

9/11 National Day of Service and Remembrance calls Americans across the country to volunteer in their

local communities in tribute to the individuals lost and injured in the attacks, first responders, and the many

who have risen in service to defend freedom since Sept. 11, 2001.
