The Ingham County Health Department AmeriCorps State Program is now accepting application from organizations who would
like to host an AmeriCorps member for it's Summer 2019 term of service!
Commonly known as the “domestic Peace Corps,” AmeriCorps is a national service program governed by a federal agency – the Corporation for National and Community Service (CNCS) – and administered in Michigan by the Michigan Community Service Commission (MCSC).
AmeriCorps is a network of local, state, and national service programs that connects Americans in intensive service to meet our country’s critical needs in education, public safety, health and the environment. AmeriCorps members serve with nonprofits, public
agencies, and faith-based and community organizations. Since 1994, AmeriCorps State members have provided needed assistance to millions of Americans across the nation.
The ICHD AmeriCorps State Program places members at organizations to work directly with the community in areas of food security programming and youth programming to reduce obesity. We're looking for organizations within Ingham County who could benefit from
the addition of one of our members from April 22nd, 2019 through August 30th, 2019.
