AmeriCorps Volunteer Emergency Funds

For many who serve their communities through AmeriCorps, unanticipated financial hardships can impact their ability to complete their term of service. Thanks to the generous support of the Schultz Family Foundation, ASC has established a pool of matching funds for service commissions interested in offering emergency assistance to AmeriCorps members experiencing hardship.
