America's Service Commissions

Uniting States in Service

For over 25 years, America's Service Commissions (ASC) has been a vital part of the national and community service ecosystem. As a nonpartisan, nonprofit organization, ASC acts as the collective voice representing the 52 governor-led state and territorial service commissions and more than 1,000 commissioners across the United States. Collectively, these 52 service commissions administer more than 80% of AmeriCorps State and National grants and support over 40,000 AmeriCorps members — individuals of all ages turning their passions into service, kickstarting their careers, and making an impact in their communities.

Service commissions are a vital resource that help governors tap the power of citizen volunteers, like AmeriCorps members, to meet local needs and solve local problems; strengthen communities; and spur innovative state policy ideas aimed at growing and advancing service and volunteerism at the local level.

There is much you can do to make an impact through ASC — support public policy that advances national service, attend a training webinar, join one of our work groups or learning communities, post a position on our job board, or support our work with a personal donation. Welcome! We're glad you're here.
