CNCS is a federal agency established in 1993 to engage Americans of all ages and backgrounds in intensive community-based service. The grant provides funding to help organizations manage an AmeriCorps program, which involves recruiting, training, and supporting AmeriCorps members who serve on a full-time or part-time basis to help the organization address a community need. Grants are awarded on a competitive basis to projects that support organizational capacity-building, education, healthy futures, environmental stewardship, veterans and military families, economic opportunities, public safety, disaster preparedness/response, and other identified community issues in Ohio. ServeOhio/Ohio Commission on Service and Volunteerism ServeOhio was established by Ohio statute in 1994, specifically to administer grants in Ohio under the federal National & Community Service Trust Act of 1993. For over twenty years, ServeOhio has worked with local communities across the state to build a strong infrastructure of AmeriCorps programming and volunteer engagement. ServeOhio acts as a program leader, convener and champion. As a program leader, ServeOhio develops AmeriCorps programs and National Days of Service Projects in partnership with community-level organizations – ensuring that valuable resources are expended on locally-identified, critical needs. In our role as a convener, ServeOhio brings together local and statewide leadership to construct effective strategies for national service expansion and volunteer mobilization. As a champion, ServeOhio celebrates service and volunteerism by recognizing outstanding volunteer achievement; educating elected officials and local leaders on the impact of service; and increasing professional development opportunities for those in the field to elevate the efficacy of local service and volunteer initiatives.
