“AmeriCorps programs
do more than move communities forward; they serve their members by creating
jobs and providing pathways to opportunity for young people entering the
workforce. AmeriCorps places thousands of young adults into intensive service
positions where they learn valuable work skills, earn money for education, and
develop an appreciation for citizenship.”
AmeriCorps State and
National
“AmeriCorps State and
National supports a wide range of local service programs that engage thousands
of Americans in intensive community service each year. We provide grants to a
network of local and national organizations and agencies committed to using
national service to address critical community needs in education, public
safety, health, and the environment.”

National programs are open to U.S. citizens, nationals, or lawful permanent
resident aliens age 17 and older. Members may serve full- or part-time over a
period not to exceed 12 months. Individuals can serve as AmeriCorps members in
every state, U.S. territory, and on tribal reservations.”
