The Corporation for National and Community Service Office of Grants Management awarded Partnership For Youth, Inc. (doing business as Americorps ST. Louis) $1.25 million under the AmeriCorps State and National program (CFDA 94.006) on August 15, 2026, to fund the approved 2026–2027 AmeriCorps National Direct Fixed Amount Program at $25,000 per member service year (MSY).

No member enrollment may begin prior to the approved member enrollment period start date. Performance occurs nationwide with administrative oversight in the United States. The project period runs through August 14, 2029. The recipient must maintain all grant financial and program records for three years from the date of submission of the final Federal Financial Report, including financial records, time cards, contracts, personnel records, program execution records, and criminal history checks for all individuals receiving compensation through the program.
