America's Service Commissions

America's Service Commissions (ASC) is a nonpartisan, nonprofit membership association that represents and promotes 52 governor-led state and territorial service commissions across the United States. As a collective voice, ASC plays a crucial role in the national and community service ecosystem by administering over 80% of AmeriCorps State and National grants. This support extends to more than 40,000 AmeriCorps members who are engaged in service activities that help them turn their passions into impactful careers. ASC serves as a peer network for commissioners and service commission professional staff, providing essential services and support to local, state, and national AmeriCorps programs. The organization also advocates for state and federal policies that advance service and volunteerism, while securing philanthropic funds to expand service opportunities. By fostering collaboration and resource sharing, ASC enhances the capacity of service commissions to make a significant difference in their communities.
