NYC Civic Corps

NYC Civic Corps builds volunteer capacity and volunteer management systems at community-based organizations and city government agencies in New York City. AmeriCorps Members are placed at 50 community-based organizations (CBOs) and City agencies to build volunteer capacity, and recruit and manage volunteers. Community volunteers increase the quality and quantity of services delivered to underserved and vulnerable individuals in all five boroughs, including in the areas of Disaster Services, Economic Opportunity, Education, and Healthy Futures. This meaningful service in the community also results in increased health, happiness, and civic engagement in the volunteers—and AmeriCorps members—who are providing those services in their community. Each year, NYC Service, in the Office of the Mayor, places 100 NYC Civic Corps members at 50 City agencies and CBOs to serve a service term lasting from September to July (10 months). These AmeriCorps members serve full-time to build volunteer management systems and leverage 50,000 volunteers who address impact areas that are priorities of New York City and the nation, including Disaster Services, Economic Opportunity, Education, and Healthy Futures. All Civic Corps members are required to have bachelor’s degrees and must be citizens, nationals, or permanent residents of the United States. They serve a minimum of 1,700 hours over an approximately 10-month period (September 6, 2017-July 13, 2018). They are also subject to a background check in compliance with AmeriCorps regulations.
