AmeriCorps Program

OKMM had a federal partnership with the Corporation for National and Community Service to offer an AmeriCorps Education Award Program, called OKMM-EAP. Through OKMM-EAP, AmeriCorps members served in host sites across the state to educate Oklahomans in personal finance, consumer credit and student financial aid. The grant program infrastructure consisted of numerous field sites from Altus to Miami, including community colleges and universities, tribal governance and public service organizations. During the grant cycle, OKMM's AmeriCorps program impacted over 13,000 Oklahomans.
