AmeriCorps Kansas supports a wide range of local service programs,
engaging more than 100 Kansans in intensive community service each year.

Applicants representing a combination of these groups, working together, also are eligible.
 
FUNDING TYPE: Federal funding from the Corporation for National and Community Service is administered by the Kansas Volunteer Commission. These funds are available in the form of AmeriCorps Kansas program grants and follow a cost-reimbursement structure.
