New York State Commission on National and Community Service

March 5, 2012

The New York State Commission on National and Community Service was established in 1994 by an Executive Order of the Governor, and administers programs funded by the National Community Service Trust Act of 1993, including AmeriCorps State and AmeriCorps Education Awards programs. The Commission members are diverse and bi-partisan and are appointed by the Governor.

The Commission seeks to improve lives, strengthen communities, and foster civic engagement through service and volunteering in New York State. Commission members each have a strong background in community service and leadership and provide a tremendous resource to the state service and volunteer communities. The role of each Commission member includes: monitoring and approving the annual grants process and recommendations for funding of National Service programs. The Commission also promotes volunteering and community service as proven methods to solve local problems in our communities.

In 2008, New Yorkers Volunteer website was launched as a statewide initiative to engage more New Yorkers in volunteering and community service. It provides information and training opportunities for local volunteer organizations. It provides a marketing and media campaign to promote volunteering. And, it educates New Yorkers about state and federal funding opportunities for national service and volunteer programs.
