CAC AmeriCorps is a local AmeriCorps program, operated by the Knoxville – Knox County Community Action Committee (CAC), that places full-time AmeriCorps members in service opportunities with a number of partner non-profit, government, academic, and faith-based organizations in Knox and surrounding East Tennessee counties. Our members are focused on addressing a variety of environmental and social needs through activities that include environmental education, the improvement of public lands, and a broad range of capacity building activities ranging from grant writing and volunteer management to conducting community needs assessments.
All of our members receive a living stipend and , upon completing their term, members receive an education award that can be applied to qualified student loans or future educational pursuits. Besides these core benefits of service, members also receive a variety of additional benefits during their service including training, certificate program opportunities, and a substantial service community.
CAC AmeriCorps has been in operation since 1994 and is the longest running corps in the State of Tennessee with over 800 alums.
