AmeriCorps State Application Guidelines for State Formula Programs
Established in 1994, the West Virginia Commission for National and Community Service challenges West Virginians to strengthen their communities through service and volunteerism. Part of the Governor’s Office, the Commission is charged with advising the Governor of strategies for using service to address critical community needs. Each year, the Commission makes grants to organizations and agencies so that they can engage AmeriCorps members to “get things done.” These AmeriCorps members, most of them recruited from West Virginia communities, tackle critical needs in the areas of education, the environment, housing, and family services. They achieve measurable benefits such as raising students’ test scores, building community parks, weatherizing low income housing, and helping people move from welfare to work. Along the way, the AmeriCorps members gain skills and earn an education award they can use to pay for college, graduate school, or vocational school, or to repay a student loan.
The purpose of these guidelines is to describe the process you should use to apply for AmeriCorps formula funds for the 2008/2009 program year.Auditor's Office "Ask the Expert" Investor Education Series
