“ In brief, a Department grantee or subgrantee may use program funds as matching funds for AmeriCorps programs.
AmeriCorps operates a variety of programs that bring people together to tackle the country’s most pressing challenges through national service, including in schools. In particular, AmeriCorps volunteers regularly support students in underserved districts in a manner that promotes equity and excellence, for example, by providing high-quality tutoring, mentoring, or coaching. ”

“ The Department fully supports and encourages state and local partnerships with AmeriCorps programs, including many activities in support of student learning and success that are appropriate uses of education funds. ”
