Operation AmeriCorps

Posted by Corporation for National and Community Service on December 01, 2014

We’re excited to announce a new way to partner with tribal and local governments to solve community challenges!

Operation AmeriCorps will devote AmeriCorps members to intensive service on high-priority local challenges. Local leaders will engage AmeriCorps members as the catalyst to address and solve their most pressing problems in a comprehensive way in no more than two years.

We’re looking for place-based, ambitious solutions that spark a new initiative or use AmeriCorps to scale up an existing successful effort. The end goal: Develop solutions that can be replicated in communities across the nation.
