The State and National AmeriCorps programs require that all members serving in the program must meet the eligibility requirements listed below:

• Be a citizen, national, or lawful permanent resident alien of the United States
• Be 18 or older
• Have an AA/BA or some college
• Agree to a National Service Criminal History Check and not have a sexual offense or murder conviction (other offenses may also prohibit participation, but will be determined on a case by case basis)
