AmeriCorps
4-H STEM AmeriCorps
The 4-H AmeriCorps program is dedicated to empowering Idaho youth through engaging, hands-on programming with an emphasis on science, technology, engineering, art and mathematics (STEAM), helping them to grow and succeed.
AmeriCorps is a network of national service programs supported by the U.S. federal government, foundations, corporations and other donors engaging adults in public service work with a goal of helping others and meeting critical needs in the community. The Corporation for National Community Service (CNCS) directs the AmeriCorps program with training, guidance and evaluation.
AmeriCorps members commit their time to address critical community needs such as increasing academic achievement, mentoring youth and preparing for disasters. In return for their service, they receive health insurance, a living stipend and an education award at the completion of their term of service.
