When faced with challenges, our nation has always relied on the dedication and action of citizens.  The Corporation for National and Community Service carries on a long tradition of citizen involvement by providing opportunities for Americans of all ages to improve their communities through service.


In 1993, Congress enacted the National and Community Service Act, creating the Corporation for National and Community Service.  President Clinton signed the legislation soon after, and AmeriCorps was launched the following year.

Volunteer Florida (officially recognized as the Florida Commission on Community Service) receives over $25 million in federal and state funding to support efforts to expand national service, promote disaster resiliency and advocate for volunteerism in Florida. The agency is guided by a bipartisan board of Commissioners, who are appointed by the Governor and confirmed by the Florida Senate.

In 1994, Volunteer Florida was established to administer national service programs, such as AmeriCorps, throughout the state. Today, the majority of these programs are education-based, but grantees are also actively working to protect public land, end homelessness and help adults with developmental disabilities live independently.
