FUNDING OPPORTUNITY

AmeriCorps State operates through the State Service Commissions in each state.  In Alabama, the State Service Commission is operated through the Governor’s Office of Faith-Based and Community Initiatives.

The purpose of AmeriCorps* State is to engage AmeriCorps members in direct service and capacity-building to address unmet community needs.

Local programs design service activities for a team of members serving full-time or part-time for one year or during the summer.  Sample activities include tutoring and mentoring youth, assisting crime victims, building homes, and restoring parks.

AmeriCorps members also mobilize community volunteers and strengthen the capacity of the organizations where they serve. The organizations that receive grants are responsible for recruiting, selecting, and supervising AmeriCorps members to serve in their programs.
