ServeMinnesota works with AmeriCorps members and community partners to meet critical needs throughout Minnesota. We focus on solving tough problems in educational achievement, economic opportunity, climate mitigation and environmental stewardship, recovery from substance use disorders and more.

As the state’s administrator for federal AmeriCorps funds, we design new strategic initiatives, provide grants to nonprofit organizations and  collaborate with partners to solve pressing problems. ServeMinnesota provides training and technical assistance, and monitors these organizations to ensure that they adhere to all federal rules and regulations related to their AmeriCorps grant.

We administer a portfolio of 16 AmeriCorps programs with about 2,000 AmeriCorps members addressing critical human needs with a lens of social justice. More than 1,200 sites across the state are hosting an AmeriCorps member this year. These sites include schools, nonprofit organizations, government agencies, and other types of community resource centers.
