About the Washington Service Corps
The Washington Service Corps (WSC) was created by the Washington state Legislature in 1983 to give young adults 18 to 25 years old opportunities to serve their communities.
When the national AmeriCorps program began in 1994, the WSC became part of the national service movement and now all WSC members are also AmeriCorps members and the age restriction was lifted – members may be 17 years old and older. However, the age restriction does remain for members in the WSC Indivdual Placement Program. This is due to the fact that it was formed as a Youth Corps program and is governed by the Washington Administrative Code (WAC) 50.65.
Today, more than 900 members serve statewide in the Washington Service Corps.
The Washington Service Corps works with nonprofit organizations and local governments to address a variety of unmet and pressing community needs. WSC helps Washington’s citizens meet those needs by supplying AmeriCorps members who volunteer to serve, contributing their passion, commitment, hard work and skills.
The WSC is administered by the Washington State Employment Security Department with federal funding provided by the Corporation for National and Community Service. The WSC is part of Employment Security’s Human Resource Services Division.
