The Land of Lincoln AmeriCorps Statewide program is part of the
national service initiative signed into law by President Bill Clinton and
administered through state governments. The Illinois Commission on Community
Service and Volunteerism serves as the state’s lead agency to administer
AmeriCorps. The Commission operates under the Illinois Department of Human
Services.
Through AmeriCorps, individuals of all ages and backgrounds address
the state’s education, public safety, human, and environmental needs through
service. Kaskaskia College members provide literacy tutoring for pre-K through
grade 8 students in local schools. In return, members receive a living allowance
and education award to help finance their college education or vocational
training, or pay back student loans after successful completion of service.
For
