VII.1.b: Governors and Mayors

Establish Governor‐appointed state service commissions that select and monitor AmeriCorps programs and provide training and resources to Cities of Service.

Other Information:

The law creating the Corporation and AmeriCorps created a key role for Governors through the establishment of Governor‐appointed state service commissions that select and monitor AmeriCorps programs in their states. Many commissions have expanded their role beyond administering AmeriCorps to include a broader mission of expanding service and volunteering in their states. On the municipal level, the Corporation is providing training and resources to Cities of Service, a new coalition of Mayors who are embracing service as a strategy to address critical problems.
