Through January 13, applications are being accepted for Operation AmeriCorps program grants. Operation AmeriCorps is a new program to address a community’s most pressing local problem. Through Operation AmeriCorps, local leaders identify a high-priority local challenge that AmeriCorps can address within a two-year timeframe. The proposed solution may be a new initiative, or it may use national service to scale up an existing successful effort.
The grant competition is open to tribal and local governments, including counties, cities, towns and school districts, as well as Councils of Governments and non-profit regional development authorities.
