More than 20,000 citizens of all ages and backgrounds serve in CNCS (Corporation for National and Community Service) programs through Senior Corps, AmeriCorps, or Learn and Serve in Indiana. Serving through 520 nonprofits, schools, public agencies or faith-based groups across the state, these citizens tutor and mentor at-risk youth, assist veterans and military families, provide heath services, restore the environment, respond to disasters, build homes, and recruit and manage volunteers.
AmeriCorps, including VISTA (Volunteers In Service To America) and NCCC (National Civilian Community Corps), engages more than 1,100 Indiana citizens in intensive, results-driven service to meet education, environmental, health, economic, and other pressing community needs.
Indiana AmeriCorps is making a difference through its
members everyday in communities just like yours. Its impact is evident
on each of the lives that AmeriCorps members touch through their
service.

civic engagement through service and volunteering. The
Corporation annually engages more than five million Americans in
service to meet local needs through Senior Corps, AmeriCorps,
