About Ampact

Achieving AmeriCorps Excellence

Ampact is a national nonprofit that specializes in managing and scaling high-quality AmeriCorps programs.

Founded as the implementation arm of ServeMinnesota (Minnesota’s AmeriCorps Commission), our first program – Reading Corps launched in 2003. Today we offer evidence-based AmeriCorps programs in three focus areas: education, environment and healthy futures.   

As one of the largest AmeriCorps grantees in the nation, we know what it takes to implement and support effective and impactful AmeriCorps programs.  Every year, we recruit, train and support more than 3,700 AmeriCorps members!

Local Action on a National Scale

Headquartered in Minneapolis, Minnesota, our programs operate in California, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Illinois, Minnesota, Mississippi, New York, Virginia, and Wisconsin. In addition, we offer technical support to programs across the country. Together our members serve their local communities and make an incredible impact!
