National Service in Missouri - January 2023
Meeting Needs in Missouri
Last year more than 5,800 Americans of all ages and backgrounds united to meet local needs, strengthen communities, and expand opportunity through national service in Missouri. AmeriCorps invested more than $21.5 million in federal funding to support cost-effective community solutions, working hand in hand with local partners to empower individuals to help communities tackle their toughest challenges.
AmeriCorps members and AmeriCorps Seniors volunteers are preparing today’s students for tomorrow’s jobs, helping communities and families impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, connecting veterans to services, fighting the opioid epidemic, helping seniors live independently, rebuilding communities after disasters, and leading conservation and climate change efforts.
AmeriCorps members and AmeriCorps Seniors volunteers served at more than 500 locations across Missouri, including schools, food banks, homeless shelters, health clinics, youth centers, veterans facilities, and other nonprofit and faith-based organizations. Through a unique public-private partnership, AmeriCorps and its partners generated more than $7.3 million in outside resources from businesses, foundations, public agencies, and other sources in Missouri last year. This local support strengthened community impact and increased the return on taxpayer dollars.
