About The Resource Center

The Resource Center is your one-stop shop for online tools and training resources to strengthen your volunteer or service program. Sponsored by the Corporation for National and Community Service and administered by ETR Associates, The Resource Center is the central point for:

  • Sharing training and technical assistance information among the Corporation's three main programs—Senior Corps, AmeriCorps, and Learn and Serve America programs
  • Sharing information with potential grantees to help them apply for Corporation resources
  • Providing technical assistance to any organization using volunteers to strengthen local communities

The Resource Center contains online training tools, event calendars, and effective practices, as well as a catalogue of printed publications and videos available on loan. The Resource Center's content is generated by a network of more than 20 training and technical assistance providers funded by the Corporation to serve the needs of volunteer and service programs. In addition, the Resource Center serves as a learning exchange  where individual programs can share their innovations and effective practices with others.

The Corporation for National and Community Service provides opportunities for Americans of all ages and backgrounds to serve their communities and country through three programs: Senior Corps, AmeriCorps, and Learn and Serve America. Members and volunteers serve with national and community nonprofit organizations, faith-based groups, schools, and local agencies to help meet community needs in education, the environment, public safety, homeland security, and other critical areas. The Corporation is part of USA Freedom Corps, a White House initiative to foster a culture of citizenship, service, and responsibility, and help all Americans answer the President's Call to Service.
