AMERICORPS IN NEBRASKA
Nebraska is fortunate to benefit from the dedicated efforts of talented individuals devoting themselves to addressing our state's most pressing needs through
AmeriCorps. AmeriCorps members serve at local non-profit or governmental organizations which have applied for and received for competitive grants. The benefit is
further extended through volunteers mobilized and trained by AmeriCorps members. Additionally, many of the recipient organizations engage other community partners
as service sites for AmeriCorps members. Learn more by checking out the programs below or beginning with a
snapshot of national service in Nebraska.
