The Corporation for National and Community Service is an independent agency of the United States Government established in 1993. It merged the work and staffs of two predecessor agencies, ACTION and the Commission on National and Community Service.
At its inception, the Corporation was directed to manage three main programs: the newly created Senior Corps, which incorporated the longstanding Foster Grandparents, Retired and Senior Volunteer, and Senior Companion Programs; the newly created AmeriCorps, which incorporated the longstanding VISTA, the new National Civilian Community Corps programs, and the full-time demonstration program that had been established under the 1990 Act; and Learn and Serve America, formerly known as Serve America.
