The Serve New Mexico Commission (formerly New Mexico Commission for Community Volunteerism, NMCCV) is designated as the state service commission and administers the AmeriCorps national service portfolio in New Mexico. Serve New Mexico works with other national service programs to provide New Mexicans of all ages and backgrounds the opportunity to strengthen their communities through service. National service programs include:

• AmeriCorps
  Through its programs, AmeriCorps provides opportunities for Americans to make an ongoing, intensive commitment to service.
• AmeriCorps*State and National
  AmeriCorps supports a broad range of local service programs that engage thousands of Americans in intensive service to meet critical community needs. Serve New Mexico administers the AmeriCorps program in New Mexico. More than three-quarters of AmeriCorps grant funding goes to Governor-appointed state service commissions, such as Serve New Mexico, which in turn awards and monitor grants to hundreds of nonprofit groups and agencies. The other quarter goes to national nonprofits that operate in more than one state.
• AmeriCorps*VISTA
  For more than 40 years VISTA has provided full-time members to opportunity to create and expand programs that build capacity and ultimately bring low-income individuals and communities out of poverty. To learn more, click here, or contact Zanquetta Gray.
