The Rhode Island Department of Education (RIDE) released the annual Request for Proposals (RFP) for organizations looking for AmeriCorps grant funding.

“AmeriCorps programs have a strong tradition of enhancing our schools and communities, filling critical needs in areas like affordable housing, behavioral health services, and education for all students. These programs also provide on-the-job training and career pathway options for the AmeriCorps members volunteering statewide,” said Angélica Infante-Green, Commissioner of Elementary and Secondary Education.

Funding will be awarded on a competitive basis to community organizations, schools, and local governments that establish or expand an AmeriCorps program.

The programs engage AmeriCorps members in long-term, ongoing volunteer commitments to address community needs.

"We look forward to receiving this year's proposals for how we can leverage AmeriCorps funds to support a stronger Rhode Island,” said Infante-Green.

Letters of intent are due by October 8 and final applications due on November 15.

There will an informational webinar for applicants on October 1.
