The Office of Grants Management awarded $2,301,963.00 to the Utah Commission On Service And Volunteerism on August 1, 2025, under the AmeriCorps State and National program (CFDA 94.006) to deploy AmeriCorps members in community service positions across Utah through the 2025–2028 project period. This fixed-amount grant, structured at $6,773.87 per Member Service Year (MSY), funds six sub-awarded programs that leverage AmeriCorps members to address critical community needs including mental health, healthcare access, STEM education, workforce development, and support for vulnerable populations. The award supports approximately 339 AmeriCorps members working across diverse service models and geographic regions throughout Utah.

The funded programs deliver evidence-based community interventions through six sub-awardees: Boys & Girls Clubs of Utah County (46 members providing mental health sessions to 3,000 middle and high school students); Association for Utah Community Health (30 members delivering community health worker and behavioral health specialist services to 700 individuals); One Utah Service Fellowship via Utah State University (members providing healthcare, education, and capacity-building services across 29 counties); Salt Lake County Most Vulnerable Populations Program (40 members serving as community support specialists for 3,000 underserved individuals); Brigham Young University FHSS AmeriCorps program (133 members providing mental health services to 2,500 clients); and STEM Action Center (57 members developing maker-focused STEM learning experiences across Utah's U-MAKE Hubs). Collectively, these programs leverage over 5,200 additional volunteers and secure approximately $655,000 in matching funds from state, local, and private sources to expand service capacity and community impact.
