Texas 2008 - 2009

Information on the 2008 - 2009 program year current as of March 3, 2009

AmeriCorps: This year AmeriCorps will provide more than 2,600 individuals the opportunity to

provide intensive, results-driven service to meet education, environmental, public safety and other

pressing needs in communities across Texas. Roughly three-quarters of all AmeriCorps grant funding

goes to the Governor-appointed OneStar National Service Commission, Inc., 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 of up to

$4,725 that can be used to pay for college or to pay back qualified student loans. Since 1994, more than

26,000 Texas residents have qualified for Segal AmeriCorps Education Awards totaling more than

$79,900,000. 

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

and nonprofit groups to engage more than 54,000 Texas students in community service linked to

academic achievement and the development of civic skills. This type of learning, called service-learning,

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 Texas. More than 94,000 people of all ages and backgrounds are helping to

meet local needs, strengthen communities, and increase civic engagement through 279 national service projects across

Texas. 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 $37,400,000 to support Texas communities through three

national service initiatives: 

Senior Corps: More than 37,000 seniors in Texas 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

12,000 young people who have special needs. Senior Companions help more than 1,500 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 3,100 groups across Texas.

The Corporation for National and Community Service improves lives, strengthens communitites, and fosters civic

engagement through service and volunteering. Each year the Corporation engages more than four million Americans in

service to meet local needs through Senior Corps, AmeriCorps, and Learn and Serve America. To learn visit

www.NationalService.gov or call 202-606-5000 or TTY 202-565-2799.
