Volunteer Florida is pleased to announce the availability of 2012-2013 grant funding for AmeriCorps Formula State programs.

AmeriCorps State programs engage AmeriCorps members in direct service and capacity-building activities to address unmet community needs. Local programs design service activities for a team of members who have each committed to one year of service. AmeriCorps programs support local community efforts by addressing education, environmental, homeland security, public safety or other human needs. Sample activities include tutoring and mentoring youth, assisting crime victims, building homes, and restoring parks. AmeriCorps members also mobilize community volunteers and strengthen the capacity of the organizations where they serve. All application information and supporting documents can be found at: www.volunteerflorida.org.
