How AmeriCorps and Faith-based and Community Organizations Work Together

How AmeriCorps and Faith-based and Community Organizations Work Together

FCBI helps connect faith-based and community organizations to AmeriCorps and other Corporation programs, ensuring that these groups have the capacity, tools, and volunteer power they need to help America’s communities flourish.

Perhaps one of the most important roles AmeriCorps can play for your organization is the generation of volunteers. Each AmeriCorps member typically recruits and manages twelve community volunteers, expanding the capacity of faith-based and community organizations to achieve their mission and building community involvement and support.

The Corporation and AmeriCorps are committed to supporting President Bush’s call to strengthen the work of the thousands of faith-based and community organizations that provide compassionate assistance to millions of Americans.

We hope our new publication, National Service: A Resource for Faith-Based and Community Groups, gives you a better understanding of how the Corporation works with faith-based and other community organizations and how we can help you accomplish your goals.
