2004 - 2005

Information on the 2004 - 2005 program year current as of May 4, 2005

AmeriCorps: This year AmeriCorps will provide more than 1,100 individuals the opportunity to

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

pressing needs in communities across the District of Columbia. Roughly three-quarters of all

AmeriCorps grant funding goes to the Governor-appointed CNCS Headquarters, 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

1,300 the District of Columbia residents have qualified for Americorps Education Awards totaling more

than $5,000,000. 

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

and nonprofit groups to support efforts to engage more than 1,100 the District of Columbia 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. In addition to providing grants, Learn and Serve America serves as a resource

on service and service-learning to teachers, faculty members, schools, and community groups.

Meeting community needs in the District of Columbia. More than 3,700 people of all ages and

backgrounds are helping to meet local needs, strengthen communities, and increase civic engagement through 107 national

service projects across District Of Columbia. 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 $17,800,000 to

support District Of Columbia communities through three national service initiatives: 

Senior Corps: More than 1,400 seniors in the District of Columbia 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 560 young people who have special needs. Senior Companions help more than

700 homebound seniors and other adults maintain independence in their own homes. Retired and Senior

Volunteer Program (RSVP) volunteers conduct safety patrols for local police departments, participate in

environmental projects, tutor and mentor youth, respond to natural disasters, and provide other services

through more than 100 groups across the District of Columbia.

Together with the USA Freedom Corps, the Corporation for National and Community Service is working to build a

culture of citizenship, service, and responsibility in America. To learn more about the Corporation or any of its programs,
