Required: AmeriCorps Seniors COVID-19 Service Activity Survey

Dear AmeriCorps Seniors grantees, 

AmeriCorps Seniors recognizes that due to the continued impact of COVID-19, your volunteers may continue to be unable to serve.

The Office of Management and Budget has directed AmeriCorps Seniors to report on current service activities undertaken by AmeriCorps Seniors grantees during COVID-19. They requested information that we do not collect through existing methods such as continuation/renewal applications, progress reports, and more. To fulfill this request, we created a survey to identify how volunteers will be engaged in service following March 31. This survey is specific to each grant and should be completed once for each grant. The survey should take approximately 15 to 30 minutes to complete. We know there is a high level of uncertainty right now making it difficult to predict service activity. We ask that you use your best professional judgement when outlining how service will look on April 1.

Please complete the AmeriCorps Seniors COVID-19 Service Activity Survey by
5 p.m. EST on Monday, March 29.

The Pandemic Recovery: The Path Forward for AmeriCorps Seniors Programs and Service document has been updated with guidance on alternative service plans as well as updates to performance measures, work plans, and suggestions for implementing safe service activities for volunteers.

Thank you for completing the survey in advance of our March 29 deadline.

In service, 

AmeriCorps Seniors Team
