About PennSERVE

PennSERVE works to find ways of promoting volunteerism and community service throughout Pennsylvania. We seek to build strong communities through grassroots citizen involvement and commitment.

As part of a multi-pronged effort to foster a spirit of growth and prosperity in communities, PennSERVE seeks to build strong communities through grassroots citizen involvement and commitment. With a sense of civic pride, personal duty and community-based involvement, citizens are encouraged to find solutions to the challenges they face.

Through AmeriCorps State programs funded through PennSERVE, a number of local services are provided including:

training hundreds of new volunteers
tutoring and mentoring high risk youth
organizing neighborhood watch organizations
assisting crime victims
helping seniors live independently
cleaning up rivers and streams
providing assistance to victims of natural disasters

See the "Grant Opportunities" page for more on AmeriCorps funding.
