AmeriCorps

AmeriCorps members serve directly with nonprofit organizations to tackle our nation’s most pressing challenges. Every year, more than 270,000 individuals serve in organizations making a difference in communities across America.

UA Wildcat Corps improves lives and communities by serving as a statewide network that provides lifelong educational programs for all Arizonans. AmeriCorps Members focus on the AmeriCorps priority area of education by providing experiential learning opportunities for youth. Community needs are addressed with service that strengthens the capacity of individuals to increase educational attainment and fosters positive development.
