Our Programs and InitiativesĪmeriCorps State and National awards grants to organizations to engage individuals in sustained service to address local, regional, and national challenges. This local support strengthened community impact and increased the return on taxpayer dollars. Through a unique public-private partnership, AmeriCorps and its partners generated more than $4.6 million in outside resources from businesses, foundations, public agencies, and other sources in Washington last year. AmeriCorps invested more than $30 million in federal funding to support cost-effective community solutions, working hand in hand with local partners to empower individuals to help communities tackle their toughest challenges.ĪmeriCorps members and AmeriCorps Seniors volunteers are preparing today’s students for tomorrow’s jobs, helping communities and families impacted by COVID-19, connecting veterans to services, fighting the opioid epidemic, helping seniors live independently, rebuilding communities after disasters, and leading conservation and climate change efforts.ĪmeriCorps members and AmeriCorps Seniors volunteers served at more than 900 locations across Washington, including schools, food banks, homeless shelters, health clinics, youth centers, veterans facilities, and other nonprofit and faith-based organizations.
