AmeriCorps is a national service program dedicated to working in local communities to affect change through service. With the support of the OneStar Foundation, CitySquare operates one of the largest AmeriCorps programs in Texas, leveraging more than 300 AmeriCorps members every year who serve throughout the state of Texas.

 

CitySquare AmeriCorps members provide support to CitySquare programs and local nonprofit host sites working to:

1. Increase academic engagement among economically disadvantaged youth

2. Alleviate food insecurity through food pantry assistance and summer meals

3. Improve economic opportunity for adults through case management, workforce development, housing support, and resource referrals.

 

In return for service, AmeriCorps members receive a monthly living allowance and an education award that can be used for tuition or student loans!
