This year, more than 1.

8 million individuals of all ages and backgrounds will serve through these programs. They will help thousands of national and community nonprofit organizations, faith-based groups, schools, and local agencies meet local needs in education, the environment, public safety, homeland security, and other critical areas.

Roughly three quarters of all AmeriCorps grant funding goes to Governor-appointed state service commissions, which award subgrants to nonprofit organizations in their states. These organizations recruit AmeriCorps members to respond to local needs. The Corporation distributes most of the remainder of the grant funding directly to organizations operating in more than one state.

In 2008, the Corporation will support 2,600 new quarter-time AmeriCorps membership opportunities. These member positions are designed for organizations interested in attracting skilled volunteers to the Gulf Coast for rebuilding activities, and for organizations that want to engage members in summer of service activities with youth from disadvantaged circumstances.

However, programs may apply for these AmeriCorps positions to address other unmet needs. The Corporation will also give special consideration to projects that address one or a combination of four strategic initiatives: . Mobilizing more volunteers.
