Getting things done
As New Hampshire’s designated State Service Commission, Volunteer NH promotes volunteer service across the state and acts as a steward of the National Service funds provided to our state by the Corporation for National and Community Service (d/b/a “AmeriCorps”). AmeriCorps knows that service works, which is why they are committed to improving lives, strengthening communities, and fostering civic engagement through service and volunteering.
AmeriCorps members Get Things Done for America. They build safer, stronger, healthier, and united communities across the country. AmeriCorps improves lives and fosters civic engagement when it matters the most. AmeriCorps members commit to serve for a length of time determined by the program, and receive benefits such as a living allowance and/or an education award.
AmeriCorps Seniors functions similarly to an AmeriCorps program. Read on for more information.
AmeriCorps State and National
AmeriCorps State and National programs support organizations that see service as a solution to local and national challenges. These programs create powerful member experiences that result in lifelong civic engagement, and are open to U.S. citizens, nationals, or lawful permanent resident aliens age 17 and older. AmeriCorps members serve in AmeriCorps State and National projects in every state, U.S. territories, and on tribal reservations. Volunteer NH administers funding and oversight for AmeriCorps State programs in New Hampshire.
