Created with bipartisan support from Congress, the President, and community groups nationwide in 1993, the Corporation for National and Community Service is a public-private partnership that administers three national service initiatives -- the Senior Corps, which includes the Foster Grandparent Program, the Senior Companion Program, and the Retired and Senior Volunteer Program; AmeriCorps, which includes more than 400 local and national sponsors, as well as AmeriCorps* VISTA and AmeriCorps* National Civilian Community Corps; and Service-Learning, which provides models and resources for teachers integrating service into classrooms from kindergarten through college.

Priorities are Important

Nationwide, many volunteers are responding to community needs that support:

• children and youth
• the environment
• public safety
• health and human service needs

Your priorities will guide your choices about where you invest your valuable time and talents.
