Greater Miami Service Corps.

Greater Miami Service Corps, doing business as Greater Miami Service Core Inc., is a non-profit organization based in Miami, Florida that has been registered to receive federal awards since June 2005. With over 33 years of experience, the organization focuses on workforce development, education, and community improvement initiatives for disadvantaged youth. Through federal grant awards, Greater Miami Service Corps provides a range of services including job training, academic support, lead hazard reduction, and environmental stewardship. The organization engages young people in rigorous academic programs, occupational training, and service projects that improve community infrastructure, primarily serving at-risk youth aged 16-24 in Miami-Dade County.

Recent federal grant awards to Greater Miami Service Corps showcase the diverse nature of their work. The organization received a $1.6 million Project Grant from HUD's Lead Hazard Reduction Grant Program to identify and control lead-based paint hazards in low-income housing, conducting lead inspections, risk assessments, and abatement activities. A $1.375 million grant from the Department of Labor's YouthBuild program supports education and industry-recognized credentials training in construction, technology, and healthcare for youth. As a sub-grantee, the organization provides environmental stewardship education through AmeriCorps members, focusing on energy conservation and improving environmentally endangered lands. They also partner with the City of Miami to deliver public services and work with YouthBuild USA to construct and rehabilitate affordable housing units. These projects demonstrate Greater Miami Service Corps' commitment to addressing multiple community needs, from environmental conservation and public health to workforce development and affordable housing, while providing valuable opportunities for at-risk youth to gain skills and contribute to their communities.
