The AmeriCorps Volunteer Infrastructure Project (VIP) of the Service Learning Institute is part of a statewide AmeriCorps VIP program designed to build a volunteer support infrastructure in non-profit and governmental agencies serving local, marginalized, and underserved communities. The Napa County Office of Education is the lead agency for our AmeriCorps VIP program.

AmeriCorps at the Service Learning Institute
AmeriCorps is not a job; it is a year-long service experience. The SLI's AmeriCorps VIP receives a monthly living allowance, health benefits, and an end-of-term education award. The program lasts for 11 months and requires the completion of 1700 hours of service.
