The Florida Commission on Community Service received a $6,459,330.00 Project Grant from the Corporation for National and Community Service under the AmeriCorps State and National program (CFDA 94.006), effective August 1, 2025 through July 31, 2028. This fixed-amount grant of $14,872.28 per Member Service Year (MSY) funds a comprehensive statewide AmeriCorps formula program delivering evidence-based community service interventions across Florida. The award supports the recruitment, training, and management of AmeriCorps members who serve in full-time community service positions addressing unmet needs in education, environmental stewardship, disaster preparedness, and economic opportunity. Upon successful completion of service, AmeriCorps members earn Segal AmeriCorps Education Awards applicable to higher education expenses or qualified student loan repayment.

Through fourteen sub-awarded organizations, the program deploys AmeriCorps members to deliver targeted services across diverse priority areas. Sub-awardees include literacy coalitions providing reading tutoring and graduation coaching in Palm Beach County; the University of Florida delivering conservation education at 4-H camps and disaster mitigation training in Jacksonville, Gainesville, and Cedar Key; after-school tutoring and mentoring programs serving K-12 youth in Miami-Dade and Broward Counties; Teach For America placing AmeriCorps members as full-time teachers in 73 schools across Duval, Hillsborough, and Miami-Dade counties; mentoring services for adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities; job readiness coaching and nutrition education through Hispanic Unity of Florida; and the Jacksonville Teacher Residency program preparing future educators for urban schools. These coordinated service initiatives strengthen communities while providing educational and economic opportunities to underserved populations throughout Florida.

This award is a fixed amount grant at $14,872.28 per MSY. No member may enroll prior to the approved start date of the member enrollment period.
