What is AmeriCorps? AmeriCorps is a paid service program that allows individuals to provide various local non-profit and state-based organizations with necessary services and support. These individual non-profits and organizations are referred to as "Host Sites". Each year, AmeriCorps leverages thousands of service members to complete important projects, provide support to populations in need, and make a positive impact on communities across the country. AmeriCorps is a federally funded program overseen by state agencies and administered by state and local nonprofits, schools, and non-political community organizations.

Positions at YWCA Adams County, Hastings Literacy Program, Maryland Living Center, South Heartland District Health Department, and CASA Diversion Services provide enriching service opportunities to members. All four sites are located in Hastings, NE.

AmeriCorps members are prohibited from participating in certain activities while completing service hours. These restrictions do not apply to time spent "off the clock" as a private citizen.

AmeriCorps members in this program commit to 300, 450, or 900 hours of paid service.
