“Congratulations to CitySquare, Reading Partners, Teach for America, and City Year, Inc.-Dallas who have been selected to receive the grant funding for 2017-2018 from the OneStar Foundation,” said Congresswoman Johnson. “I am certain that those who choose to volunteer with AmeriCorps will have a rewarding experience as they serve those in our community at one of these organizations.”
The new funding will support over 2,500 AmeriCorps members to meet local needs in Texas. In return, the members will collectively earn up to $11.7 million in education awards for each completing up to 1,700 hours of service. The volunteers will receive training and orientation so they can serve at nonprofits, state agencies, school districts and institutions of higher education throughout the State of Texas and District 30.
