About Us:
AmeriCorps Overview: AmeriCorps is the National Service movement that engages Americans of all ages and backgrounds in service to address the most critical problems in our nation's communities. Education, public safety, the environment, and other human needs are all areas in which AmeriCorps members serve. Members earn a living allowance designed to help the member meet necessary living expenses while serving in the program. Members also earn an education award to finance college, graduate school, vocational training, or to pay back student loans.
Hartford AmeriCorps Overview: Hartford AmeriCorps, established in 1995, is a program of Our Piece of the Pie (OPP), a youth development organization. The mission of Hartford AmeriCorps is to implement a community service program in which a group of diverse individuals will improve the educational achievement of school-age children by tutoring them in literacy, create and lead community service learning projects that draw on the communities' strengths to address its needs, and help to build a community of caring by engaging other citizens in community service.
