What is the Washington Service Corps?
The Washington Service Corps was created by the Washington State Legislature in 1983 to give young adults opportunities to serve their communities. When the federal government established the AmeriCorps program in 1994, the WSC was one of the programs used as a successful example. When WSC joined the AmeriCorps program in 1994, the eligibility for the program was expanded to include individuals age 17 and over.
WSC is one of the largest intermediary organizations in the country, and is administered by the Washington State Employment Security Department. WSC receives federal funding from the Corporation for National and Community Service through grants awarded by Serve Washington. WSC AmeriCorps members are placed with schools, nonprofit organizations, state, local and tribal government agencies, and faith-based organizations to address a variety of unmet and pressing community needs. WSC partners/sub-grantees must demonstrate evidence-based solutions that produce positive community outcomes.
