Georgia Serves AmeriCorps Program

Georgia Serves AmeriCorps Program is sponsored by Georgia Department of Community Affairs (Georgia Serves). Provides federal AmeriCorps funding to organizations across Georgia to address challenges such as education, economic opportunities, health, and homelessness.

Georgia Serves | Georgia Department of Community Affairs The Georgia Commission for Service and Volunteerism (GCSV or Georgia Commission) is a catalyst to address critical needs in Georgia by working with AmeriCorps and community partners. The Georgia Commission for Service and Volunteerism ( Georgia Serves ) is a part of the GA Department of Community Affairs. We create and promote opportunities for Georgians to serve.

We support organizations that use volunteer service to solve Georgia’s community problems. We make sure the investment in volunteer service is protected and managed well. Georgia Serves is the administrator for AmeriCorps State funding in Georgia and awards monetary grants and support to qualifying organizations.

AmeriCorps, “the domestic Peace Corps,” is a National Service program that engages Americans of all ages and backgrounds in team-based, results-driven service. Georgia Serves is also dedicated to offering opportunities to individuals with disabilities. We provide reasonable accommodations for eligible and qualified AmeriCorps Members with disabilities and identify volunteer opportunities that are accessible.

"Without community service, we would not have a strong quality of life. It's important to the person who serves as well to the recipient. It's the way in which we ourselves grow and develop."
