Host AmeriCorps

How does my organization apply to host an AmeriCorps program?

When AmeriCorps grant funding is available, Serve Washington administers a Request for Grant Application (RFGA) process to solicit applications from eligible organizations interested in hosting an AmeriCorps team.  Specific Information about the number of members an eligible applicant can request will be outlined in the RFGA instructions only. Information on grant opportunities is located on the Funding Opportunities page. To ensure that your organization receives notification of future grants opportunities, you can subscribe to receive e-mail notification when opportunities become available.

What if my organization doesn’t want an entire team, but only one or two AmeriCorps members?

If you are interested in hosting one or more AmeriCorps members, you may contact an AmeriCorps program in your area or a statewide intermediary to determine if a partnership may be feasible. Many intermediaries conduct an annual application process and may require a financial cost-share. Refer to Find an AmeriCorps program for a listing of programs in your county.
