Mississippi 2009 - 2010

Information on the 2009 - 2010 program year current as of March 10, 2010

AmeriCorps: This year AmeriCorps will provide more than 1,100 individuals the opportunity to provide intensive, results-driven service to meet education, environmental, health, economic and other pressing needs in communities across Mississippi. Most AmeriCorps grant funding goes to the Governor-appointed Mississippi Commission for Volunteer Service, which in turn awards grants to nonprofit groups to respond to local needs. Most of the remainder of the grant funding is distributed bythe Corporation directly to multi-state and national organizations through a competitive grants process. Other individuals will serve through AmeriCorps VISTA, whose members help bring individuals and communities out of poverty by serving full-time to fight illiteracy, improve health services, create businesses and increase housing opportunities, and AmeriCorps NCCC (National Civilian Community Corps), a 10-month, full time residential program for men and women between the ages of 18 and 24. In exchange for their service, AmeriCorps members earn an education award that can be used to pay for college or to pay back qualified student loans. Since 1994, more than 10,000 Mississippi residents have served more than 22 million hours and have qualified for Segal AmeriCorps Education Awards totaling more than $37,900,000.

Learn and Serve America: Learn and Serve America provides grants to schools, colleges, and nonprofit groups to engage more than 8,800 Mississippi students in community service linked to academic achievement and the development of civic skills. This type of learning, called service-learning, improves communities while preparing young people for a lifetime of responsible citizenship. Learn and Serve America also provides curricula and other resources to teachers, faculty members, schools, and community groups.

Meeting community needs in Mississippi. More than 13,000 people of all ages and backgrounds are helping to meet local needs, strengthen communities, and increase civic engagement through 202 national service projects across Mississippi. Serving with national and local nonprofits, schools, faith-based organizations and other groups, these citizens tutor and mentor children, coordinate after-school programs, build homes, conduct neighborhood patrols, restore the environment, respond to disasters, build nonprofit capacity and recruit and manage volunteers. This year, the Corporation for National and Community Service will commit more than $19,900,000 to support Mississippi communities through three national service initiatives:

Senior Corps: More than 4,000 seniors in Mississippi contribute their time and talents in one of three Senior Corps programs. Foster Grandparents serve one-on-one as tutors and mentors to more than 1,780 young people who have special needs. Senior Companions help more than 630 homebound seniors and other adults maintain independence in their own homes. RSVP volunteers conduct safety patrols for local police departments, protect the environment, tutor and mentor youth, respond to naturaldisasters, and provide other services through more than 310 groups across Mississippi.

The Corporation for National and Community Service is a federal agency that improves lives, strengthens communitites,and fosters civic engagement through service and volunteering. The Corporation anually engages more than five millionAmericans in service to meet local needs through Senior Corps, AmeriCorps, and Learn and Serve America, and leads President Obama's national call to service initiative, United We Serve.
