The Corporation for National and Community Service is seeking public input on its 2011-2015 Strategic Plan.

Volunteering in America Is Up!

The number of Americans volunteering in their communities jumped by 1.6 million last year, the largest increase in six years, according to the 2010 Volunteering in America report released by the Corporation for National and Community Service.

More than 63.4 million Americans volunteered in 2009, giving 8.1 billion hours of volunteer service worth an estimated $169 billion, and demonstrating America’s spirit of generosity at its best.

2010 AmeriCorps Grants Announced

More than 325 organizations across the country will get a major boost in their efforts to address education, health, poverty, and other pressing social issues thanks to $234 million in federal AmeriCorps grants announced by the Corporation for National and Community Service. The AmeriCorps grants, the first made under the bipartisan Edward M. Kennedy Serve America Act signed last year, carry out the vision of the landmark law to expand AmeriCorps and target it on addressing critical national issues of strengthening education, expanding health services, assisting veterans and military families, building a green future, and fostering economic opportunity.
