Porter County Partnership

The Porter County AmeriCorps Partnership program mobilizes and increases the number of volunteers, especially baby boomers, in faith-based and community organizations.  AmeriCorps Members ensure a brighter future for Porter County youth, concentrating on risk students from disadvantaged circumstances, through tutoring and service-learning. 




Encore AmeriCorps Members provide career counseling for secondary students in seven counties in Indiana.  Additionally, AmeriCorps Members serve to find housing for those who are homeless, help individuals and families become self-sufficient through career and financial counseling, recruit and train volunteers, and provide disaster relief whenever needed.
