National Service in Tennessee

More than 7,500 people of all ages and backgrounds are helping to

meet local needs, strengthen communities, and increase civic

engagement through national service in Tennessee. Serving at more

than 1,000 locations throughout the state, these citizens tutor and

mentor children, support veterans and military families, provide health

services, restore the environment, respond to disasters, increase

economic opportunity, and recruit and manage volunteers.

MEETING COMMUNITY NEEDS IN TENNESSEE Senior Corps:

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 11,000 young people who have special

needs. Senior Companions help more than 660 homebound

seniors and other adults maintain independence 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 through more than

460 groups across Tennessee.

individuals the opportunity to provide intensive, results-driven service

to meet education, environmental, health, economic, and other

pressing needs in communities across Tennessee. Most AmeriCorps

grant funding goes to the Volunteer Tennessee, which in turn awards

grants to nonprofit groups to respond to local needs. Most of the

remainder of the grant funding is distributed by CNCS directly to

multi-state and national organizations through a competitive grants

process. Other individuals 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 9,700 Tennessee

residents have served more than 19 million hours and have qualified

for Segal AmeriCorps Education Awards totaling more than

$28,030,000.

AmeriCorps: This year AmeriCorps will provide more than 1,200

More than 6,300 seniors in Tennessee

The Corporation for National and Community Service is a

federal agency that improves lives, strengthens communities,

and fosters civic engagement through service and

volunteering. CNCS annually engages more than five million

Americans in service to meet local needs through Senior

Corps, AmeriCorps, and national days of service; improves

communities through the Social Innovation Fund, and leads

President Obama's national call to service initiative, United

We Serve. To learn more visit NationalService.gov or Serve.gov

Social Innovation Fund: The Social Innovation Fund transforms

 This year, the Corporation for National and Community Service (CNCS)

will commit more than $17,050,000 to support Tennessee

communities through national service initiatives. CNCS invests in

cost-effective community solutions--working hand in hand with local

partners to improve lives, expand economic opportunity, and engage

citizens in solving problems in their communities. Serving in many of

the state's most impoverished communities, CNCS provides vital

support to schools, food banks, homeless shelters, community health

clinics, youth centers, veterans service facilities, and other nonprofit

and faith-based organizations at a time of growing demand for

services. Through a unique public-private partnership, this federal

investment will leverage an additional $5,270,000 in other resources

to strengthen community impact, build local support, and increase

return on taxpayer dollars.

lives and communities using limited federal investment as a

catalyst to grow the impact of nonprofits with evidence of strong

results. It harnesses the expertise of grantmaking intermediaries

to identify, evaluate and expand effective nonprofits and

engages funding partners to contribute nearly three dollars to

every one federal dollar invested. As the Social Innovation Fund

network grows programs that work in Tennessee, more people are

able to overcome their most pressing challenges in the areas of

economic opportunity, health, and youth development. The Social

Innovation Fund is investing $100,000 in expanding the impact

of 1 nonprofit in Tennessee.
