American Rescue Plan funds to be invested in organizations which help meet President Biden’s call for 250,000 more tutors and mentors nationwide
“AmeriCorps is invested in making the NPSS program a success for the mental, emotional and physical well-being of students across the nation,” said Michael D. Smith, AmeriCorps CEO. “For the first time ever, we’re inviting all organizations that recruit volunteers to become tutors, mentors, student success coaches or post-secondary transition coaches to apply. Together with heroic educators, families and caregivers, we must continue to address the longstanding inequities and opportunity gaps worsened by the COVID-19 pandemic.”
At a time when Americans of all ages are looking for ways to give back, AmeriCorps will support organizations which utilize volunteerism. AmeriCorps priorities for this funding opportunity are programs that recruit volunteers to provide high impact tutoring or mentoring for academic, mental, and overall student well-being; work plans that advance justice and equality in historically underserved communities; efforts to help local communities respond to and recover from the COVID-19 pandemic; programs that increase volunteerism in youth, intergenerational or family volunteering; activities that specifically recruit skill-based volunteers particularly in education. In addition, AmeriCorps is looking to support nonprofit organizations as they continue to rebuild the volunteer infrastructure across the country necessary to support communities.
