About the Commission
The North Carolina Commission on Volunteerism and Community Service is a division within the Office of the Governor of the State of North Carolina that encourages community service and volunteerism as a means of problem solving across the state. The Commission administers two federal programs in North Carolina: AmeriCorps (funded by the Corporation for National and Community Service) and Citizen Corps (funded by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security). State initiatives including No Kid Hungry North Carolina, the North Carolina Mentoring Partnership, the Governor's Page Program and the Governor's Award for Volunteer Service are managed by the Commission. Above all, the Commission provides valuable support for the state's growing force of volunteers who impact the lives of others and help meet critical community needs.
The North Carolina Commission on Volunteerism and Community Service strives to enhance the quality of life for North Carolinians through volunteer and community service and to ensure their long term prosperity by promoting the capabilities of people, communities and enterprises utilizing community service and volunteerism as an integral part of the growth of North Carolina.
