NC-ACTS!
NC-ACTS!
(North Carolina Activating Citizenship Through Service!) is an AmeriCorps
program of North Carolina Campus Compact and is funded by the Corporation
for National & Community Service. NC-ACTS! helps to promote an ethic of
civic responsibility among Meredith students, to create a strong base of service-leaders
on campus, to supplement academic learning with practical experience, and
to enhance partnerships between the campus and the Raleigh community.
Participating students must complete 300 hours of service (80% direct service, 20% in-direct service or trainings) during one academic year. Upon completion of hours and after ALL forms have been submitted, students will receive an Educational Award of $1000. The Educational Award, which is good for up to 7 years following completion of the program, may be used to pay for current or future educational expenses or be applied to qualified student loans.
NC-ACTS! AmeriCorps members serve in a wide variety of capacities in three different areas:
- Education
- Human Needs
- Volunteer Recruitment/Capacity Building
