About AmeriCorps

AmeriCorps is a network of national service programs offering the opportunity for individuals of all ages and backgrounds to serve and meet community needs. Members address the most critical problems in the areas of education, economic opportunity, veterans and military family services, health, the environment, and disaster services.

In exchange for a specific term of service, AmeriCorps members earn a living allowance as well as an educational award to pay back qualified student loans or to finance college, graduate school, or vocational training. For more information about the AmeriCorps State program and FAQs for members, please visit this website.

eeCorps is partnered with Serve Colorado and the Corporation for National and Community Service (CNCS) to provide greater access to EE field experiences, programmatic content, and support to PreK-12 students, teachers, administrators, and nonformal EE practitioners.
