Introduction to AmeriCorps

Welcome to AmeriCorps!

AmeriCorps is a network of national service programs, made up of three primary programs that each take a different approach to improving lives and fostering civic engagement. Members commit their time to address critical community needs like increasing academic achievement, mentoring youth, fighting poverty, sustaining national parks, preparing for disasters, and more.

• Here's an explanation of the different types of AmeriCorps programs and the timeline/history of national service programs.
• The AmeriCorps Fact Sheet has additional information.
