ServeMinnesota

The hub for AmeriCorps in Minnesota

ServeMinnesota is an engine for change. By combining science with the people power of AmeriCorps, we deliver programming that makes a difference. 

Your donations are matched by federal resources to place AmeriCorps members - trained, dedicated individuals - in positions around the state to help our communities thrive. AmeriCorps members do a variety of tasks for our communities: they support student learning, plant trees, engage the community in public health efforts, help families find housing, welcome immigrants, help people recovery from substance use disorders access resources, and weather-proof homes. 

1. Reading Corps is our most well-known program. AmeriCorps members serve as tutors for elementary students to get them on track to be successful, confident readers by the end of third grade. 
2. Similarly, Math Corps provides individualized tutoring for elementary and middle school students who benefit from extra time to practice foundational math skills needed for high school graduation. 
3. Early Learning Corps provides both math and literacy support to preschool students in the classroom. 
4. Climate Impact Corps is designed to help communities mitigate and adapt to climate change by expanding the urban canopy, improving home energy efficiency, and leading community action. 
5. Heading Home Corps Navigators support individuals and families experiencing homelessness in accessing resources and securing safe housing. 
6. Minnesota Recovery Corps trains peers to support others in their journey of recovery from substance use disorders. These navigators can earn certification to continue their career in the field. 
7. Resettlement Corps launched this year, after a call from the Department of Human Services to aid in the welcoming of Afghan evacuees. This year-long program expands to serve immigrants and newcomers from around the world. 

Support from federal and state funding is important to sustaining our work, but is only part of the equation. That’s where you come in. Every dollar from supporters like you unlocks federal funds to amplify the impact on our communities, sustain and grow our proven programs. Every dollar you give will be matched with $2 in federal funds.
