Host Site Information

The Iowa Community Corps partners with host sites across the state to place AmeriCorps members in service roles that strengthen community health access. A host site can be any community-based organization or local government agency with eligible service projects, such as nonprofit organizations, community health clinics, libraries, churches, food pantries, community centers, or local public health agencies. Organizations apply to become an AmeriCorps host site and, if selected, are awarded one or more AmeriCorps member placements. Selected sites then work with the program to design the AmeriCorps role(s) and recruit the member(s) before the start of the program year.

By hosting an AmeriCorps member, organizations gain additional service capacity, support for community outreach, and enhanced ability to connect individuals to critical resources.
