AmeriCorps is a national service network that provides full- and less than full-time opportunities for participants, called members, to serve their communities and build the capacity of nonprofit organizations to meet local environmental, educational, public safety, homeland security, or other human needs. Within these issue areas, programs may submit proposals that address specific problems of local communities.

Serve DC asks new and re-competing applicants to submit a Logic Model prior to application submission. Logic Models will be reviewed by the Serve DC Commission. Following the Serve DC initial review of Logic Models, a decision will be made to invite applicants to submit a full application. Please limit your Logic Model to 3 pages and, email it to americorps@dc.gov by April 7, 2021, at 5 pm, EST.
