Is your volunteer program looking for support?
AmeriCorps VIP can help!
​
AmeriCorps Volunteer Infrastructure Project (VIP) supports community organizations, like yours, by placing AmeriCorps VIP members within volunteer programs to help expand and strengthen volunteer infrastructure. VIPs dedicate a year of service to your organization to promote, develop, and raise funds to create a sustainable volunteer program.
Since 2009, the AmeriCorps Volunteer Infrastructure Project (VIP) has partnered with nonprofits and educational organizations to build volunteer programs that move service missions forward. If selected, your organization could join the ranks of over 500 service agencies that have seen the benefits of AmeriCorps VIP service and have built sustainable volunteer programs.
NCOE has secured AmeriCorps funding for the 2021-22 program year, and NCOE and regional supervising organizations will recruit full time AmeriCorps members to build volunteer capacity in local agencies that serve high-need children and families.
The program is administered statewide by the Napa County Office of Education. The program has an approximate start date of Aug/Sept 2021 and will recruit partner sites to participate for one program year (through June/July 2022). Participating organizations will have the opportunity to enroll an AmeriCorps VIP member who will commit to a service term of 1700 hours over 9 to 11 months, as agreed upon by the regional supervising organization and the partner site. AmeriCorps VIP members receive in return a modest living stipend, educational scholarship, professional development and invaluable service experience.
The VIP partner site application process determines an agency’s fit with the program’s mission and eligibility to host an AmeriCorps member. Agencies are selected for participation at the discretion of NCOE's VIP staff. Awarded agencies will have the opportunity to host one AmeriCorps VIP Member.
Partner Site Application Process
Applications are accepted year round. If you would like to be considered for hosting an AmeriCorps VIP this upcoming service year starting in August your agency's application from must be submitted by the last Friday of April.
