Federally recognized Native Nations and Native-led organizations invited to apply for national service investments to support local initiatives
“AmeriCorps is committed to building nation-to-nation partnerships across Indian Country and increasing economic opportunity nationwide,” said Michael D. Smith, AmeriCorps CEO. “This continued investment will make national service more accessible to our partner tribes while ensuring we uphold our commitment to grant equity.”
Opportunities include three-year operating grants which engage AmeriCorps members in time-limited-service commitments and one-year planning grants to develop programs that implement evidence-based solutions to community needs.
AmeriCorps, the federal agency for national service and volunteerism, provides opportunities for Americans to serve their country domestically, address the nation’s most pressing challenges, improve lives and communities, and strengthen civic engagement. Each year, the agency places more than 250,000 AmeriCorps members and AmeriCorps Seniors volunteers in intensive service roles; and empowers millions more to serve as long-term, short-term, or one-time volunteers.
