About Ampact
Delivering AmeriCorps Excellence
Ampact is a national nonprofit that manages and scales high-quality AmeriCorps programs.
Founded as the implementation arm of ServeMinnesota (Minnesota’s AmeriCorps Commission), our first program – Reading Corps launched in 2003. Today we offer evidence-based AmeriCorps programs focused on education, recovery, and housing.
Guided by evidence, Ampact generates real results – better reading and math skills for students and stronger outcomes for communities.
