The Corporation for National & Community Service (CNCS) is an independent federal agency established in 1993 that deploys more than 3 million Americans in service through its core programs, including AmeriCorps.
AmeriCorps enables more than 75,000 AmeriCorps members to serve with nonprofit organizations in more than 21,000 locations across the United States. Through participation in AmeriCorps, City Year’s full-time AmeriCorps members earn a taxable living allowance as well as health care benefits. City Year AmeriCorps members who complete a year of service receive a $6,495 Segal AmeriCorps Education Award that can be used to pay for tuition or to pay off qualified student loans.
