7 How AmeriCorps State and National Works Grants consist of a specific number of AmeriCorps member positions (slots) and associated funds Grant funds can support program-related costs including member living allowances, health coverage, training, travel, salaries, background checks, and materials/supplies. Education Awards are provided directly to members by the National Service Trust Federal funds provide partial support only; matching funds and/or other leveraged funds are essential to run the program

13 Benefits of AmeriCorps For organizations and communities: Enhanced people power to meet pressing needs and accomplish meaningful outcomes Connection to broader National Service movement For individuals: Meaningful service that develops key skills and leads to lifelong civic engagement Improved employment opportunities Education Award to support further postsecondary education and/or repay student loans

14 AmeriCorps Program Essentials Compelling problem in the community that needs to be solved Good idea for how to use AmeriCorps members to solve the problem Different than what existing staff/volunteers are already doing Clearly defined and meaningful outcomes and the ability to measure progress toward those outcomes on a yearly basis
