“Inside the Mind of the AmeriCorps Grant Reviewer” – A New Workshop for AmeriCorps Staff

Have you ever wondered what actually happens to an AmeriCorps application after you hit “verify” and “submit”?  During this special workshop, you will learn how to take your future AmeriCorps application to the next level, plus you will get a peak behind the scenes of how applications are actually scored.  Join us for this informative workshop, Inside the Mind of the AmeriCorps Grant Reviewer.

This workshop is happening on Wednesday, December 5th, 2024 at 3:00pm ET (12:00pm PT/1:00pm MT/2:00pm CT)

Workshop Details: This webinar will walk programs through the grant reviewing process.  Like all major funders, the AmeriCorps Agency weighs the merits of hundreds of programs serving thousands of places.  How do the Agency and the Commissions sort it all out?  Mostly, the answer is in the NOFO itself, but… there’s far more to it.  We will focus on what reviewers look for and offer insights into how to get the highest point total in peer reviews. 

Key takeaways:

  • Understand the AmeriCorps Grant Review Process
  • Improve Your AmeriCorps Application
  • Maximize Your Point Total
