Nonprofit Overview
Causes: Disaster Aid, Disaster Preparedness & Relief Services, Environment, Homeless & Housing, Housing & Shelter
Mission: The mission of AmeriCorps St. Louis is to enhance the professional skills and life-long service ethic of those who serve; to respond to critical unmet needs in the areas of emergency response and environmental conservation; to leverage service of volunteers; and to build the capacity of our partnering agencies and communities we serve.
Programs: AmeriCorps St. Louis’ Emergency Response Team engages 42 members every year to carry out projects related to environmental stewardship, wildland firefighting, and disaster response. These members build trails in O’Fallon Park, remove invasive bush honeysuckle along Great Rivers Greenway trails, perform prescribed burns with the Missouri Department of Conservation, fight floods along the Missouri and Mississippi rivers, and more. Since March 2020, we have also engaged in COVID-19 relief efforts by supporting testing and vaccinations sites, distributing food and PPE. AmeriCorps St. Louis is a member of the St. Louis Winter Outreach Network that provides emergency shelter to unhoused individuals every winter.
