The Power to Make a Difference
National service helps your organization implement those projects or ideas that require special funding or assistance. Through programs and grants, the Corporation for National and Community Service provides human capital—people power—to help you address emerging needs in your community.
Each year, national and community service participants and grantees recruit hundreds of thousands of volunteers, who donate millions of hours of service to their communities.
Getting Things Done
All national service programs address compelling community issues in education, public safety, health and human needs, the environment, and more.
National service participants
- tutor children and adults
- rehabilitate housing for low-income families
- immunize children against preventable diseases
- respond to natural disasters, mentor young people
- help persons with disabilities and the elderly to maintain their independence
- manage after-school programs for social and academic enrichment
- and much more.
Senior Corps, AmeriCorps, and Learn and Serve America all have a track record of mobilizing community resources, helping to develop an ethic of service and leadership skills, and expanding and sustaining organizational capacity.
People Power
National service participants multiply the impact of thousands of organizations, from the nation's leading charities, such as Habitat for Humanity, the American Red Cross, Boys and Girls Clubs of America, to small faith-based and other community organizations.
The Corporation provides financial support through grants, and human support through volunteer efforts, to more than 2,000 nonprofits to engage AmeriCorps members in meeting community needs and strengthening the capacity and reach of the organizations where they serve.
More than 12,000 community nonprofits engage senior volunteers supported by Senior Corps, and more than 1,000 schools and higher education institutions receive support for service-learning through Learn and Serve America.
