Programs meet critical education, environmental, public safety and human needs.
Local communities assess unmet needs, identify local entities that can provide matching funds and submit proposals for AmeriCorps funding. Once a local entity is approved for funding, citizens are recruited to become AmeriCorps members. Applicants must be at least 17 years old. Programs help support nearly one million students who are meeting community needs while improving academic skills. These programs work in collaboration with FCCS to meet community needs within the state.
