AmeriCorps is a federally funded national service program that engages Americans of all ages and backgrounds in service to address the most critical problems in our nation's communities. AmeriCorps members across the country serve their communities in the areas of education, public safety, the environment and other human needs.

The Rockefeller Institute AmeriCorps program has an environmental focus, which allows us to combine our environmental education efforts with our outreach mission. Our members participate in local community clean-ups, landscaping projects, recycling efforts and other general environmental awareness events.

Full-time members who complete their term of service earn a Segal AmeriCorps Education Award of $4,725 to pay for college, graduate school or to pay back qualified student loans. Members who serve part-time receive a partial award. Some AmeriCorps members may also receive a modest living allowance during their term of service. Make a difference in your community.
