Workforce Pathways & AmeriCorps

#FFFFFF

Why Align AmeriCorps and Workforce Development?

AmeriCorps is a national service program that engages individuals in service to communities. While serving, AmeriCorps members gain valuable skills and experience, earn a living allowance and an education award, and additional benefits. Aligning AmeriCorps programs with workforce development can create career pathways and additional benefits for both AmeriCorps members and communities.

Funding is available to help create or expand into a combined AmeriCorps and Workforce development program. Serve Colorado is dedicated to increasing opportunities for members and supporting the State’s workforce. Read more about resources available by using the workforce development tag on our website's navigation menu.
