STATE SERVICE COMMISSIONS

Created in the National and Community Service Trust Act in 1993, state and territorial service commissions are major partners of the AmeriCorps agency. They administer AmeriCorps State, Volunteer Generation Fund, and related programs in their state or territory to address critical community needs and engage citizens in service. Service commissions exist in 49 states, Guam, Puerto Rico, and Washington, DC.

Service commissions are governor-led public agencies or private nonprofit organizations, made up of more than 1,200 private citizens, leading the nation's philanthropic and service movement. Commissions subgrant more than $250 million from federal national service funds in addition to more than $100 million annually from local sources to support citizen service and volunteerism in America, making it possible for millions of Americans to serve through AmeriCorps, Volunteer Generation Fund, and AmeriCorps Seniors programs.
