Complete MyAmeriCorps Enrollment

This step applies to College Corps Fellows who are U.S. Citizens or Permanent Residents. This process does not apply to AB 540 / CA Dream Act students.

As part of your onboarding, eligible College Corps Fellows must enroll as AmeriCorps members through the MyAmeriCorps Portal (eGrants system).

Enrollment in MyAmeriCorps allows us to officially verify:

  • ✅ Your cleared background check
  • ✅ Your citizenship or permanent residency eligibility
  • ✅ Your official start date for service hours
  • ✅ Your eligibility to earn the AmeriCorps Education Award portion of your program benefits
