AmeriCorps: Make a
difference, fulfill unmet health care needs, explore
health careers
AmeriCorps is a network of local, state, and
national service programs that put into service more
than 70,000 Americans each year in an effort to
address critical needs in education, public safety,
health and the environment. AmeriCorps is often
referred to as a “Domestic Peace Corps.” Its members
serve with more than 3,000 non-profit organizations,
public agencies, and faith-based and community
organizations.
COMCorps is an AmeriCorps program, housed in the
Ohio University Heritage
College of Osteopathic Medicine Community Health
Programs. COMCorps’ mission is to provide
health education and access to health care and
health screenings for children and families in
Athens County.
COMCorps members serve an 11-month term packed
with 1,700 hours of life-changing experience serving
others. COMCorps service members are active in
schools and agencies as they deliver health-related
programs and implement health-related projects. Many
of our COMcorps participants often go on to pursue
careers in medicine and health care.
COMCorps is supported by ServeOhio (www.serveohio.org),
the state's commission on service and volunteerism, and local community partners.
