AmeriCorps has long sought to address environmental stewardship issues by funding national service programs that specifically target extreme weather events and other disasters, sustainability and energy efficiency initiatives, and disaster recovery programming. To learn more about AmeriCorps-supported environmental stewardship programs, the AmeriCorps Office of Research and Evaluation contracted a research firm to synthetize information about approaches and models across funding streams, while at the same time, providing peer-learning and networking opportunities through evaluation capacity building workshops.
The AmeriCorps Environmental Stewardship Bundled Evaluation and Capacity Building Project will provide insights on a range of program activities related to education and training, disaster response, conservation, wildfire mitigation, and energy efficiency. Other areas to be explored include the ways in which the programs influence community resilience, changes in attitudes and behaviors toward civic engagement among national service members, and the development of job skills. The final report will be available in Fall 2024.
