Our Mission:
To expand volunteerism, national service, and civic engagement in Arkansas by connecting people, organizations, and resources to meet community needs.
Our Vision:
An Arkansas where every person is engaged in service to strengthen their community.
Why Engage Arkansas Matters
Across Arkansas, public agencies, nonprofits, schools, and community organizations work every day to address local needs. Engage Arkansas serves as a catalyst for these efforts by helping organizations expand their reach, strengthen community engagement, and increase their impact through volunteerism and national service.
Through strategic partnerships, technical assistance, and statewide outreach, Engage Arkansas connects people, programs, and resources to create stronger communities. Our staff and Commission collaborate with leaders across sectors to promote service opportunities, foster meaningful partnerships, and support initiatives that improve the lives of Arkansans.
As Arkansas’s administrator of State AmeriCorps programs and placements, Engage Arkansas also serves as the bridge between federal national service resources and local communities, helping organizations leverage service members and volunteers to address critical challenges.
