The mission of CNCS is to improve lives, strengthen communities, and foster civic engagement through service and volunteering. Through AmeriCorps, Senior Corps, the Social Innovation Fund, and the Volunteer Generation Fund, CNCS has helped to engage millions of citizens in meeting community and national challenges through service and volunteer action.
AmeriCorps Affiliate began in 2016 as a pilot initiative to engage more youth in service and to increase the number of national service positions available through local support. CNCS is now expanding the Affiliate pilot and will consider additional requests to designate positions as National Service Positions. Applicants may only request designation of positions as National Service Positions; CNCS will not award financial resources to applicants. Individuals who successfully complete a term of service in the designated positions may receive an Eli Segal AmeriCorps Education Award.
Affiliate designations are intended to use national service as a means to incubate and expand service opportunities to create self-sustaining service models that complement existing AmeriCorps programs.
