AmeriCorps’s mission is to improve lives, strengthen communities, and foster civic engagement through service and volunteering.

AmeriCorps is a federal agency that funds organizations to make positive impact in communities. To support the placement of AmeriCorps members and AmeriCorps Seniors volunteers in communities, they provide more than $800 million in financial and human resources grants every year. These grants provide resources and people power in the form of members and volunteers for organizations across the country.
