The Michigan Community Service Commission leads efforts to make volunteering more accessible and impactful across the state of Michigan. The Commission supports AmeriCorps programs, community volunteer initiatives, and other efforts to engage citizens in service and address critical community needs.

Service programs engage individuals in hands-on projects—such as education, conservation, disaster response, and community development—while providing valuable experience and making a direct impact. These programs often have specific eligibility criteria, require a longer commitment, and may offer benefits such as stipends, tuition assistance, or living allowances.
