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, and environmental protection.
As the state’s administrator for federal AmeriCorps funds, we provide grants to nonprofit organizations that have been selected to run an AmeriCorps program. 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 15 AmeriCorps programs with about 2,000 AmeriCorps members addressing critical human needs. More than 1,200 sites across the state are hosting an AmeriCorps member this year. These sites include schools, local nonprofits, and community organizations.
ServeMinnesota’s primary goal is to invest its AmeriCorps resources in a manner that catalyzes positive social change in Minnesota. We align the power of AmeriCorps with successful strategies that provide cost-effective solutions and yield measurable results. We apply evidence-based practices and scale what works to increase our impact.
