- AC = Terms and Conditions for AmeriCorps State and National Grants(definition of service site in Section II.F)
The service site agreement describes the relationship between an individual (an AmeriCorps member), the AmeriCorps program, and a local placement service site. The site agreement outlines the requirements for each participant in the agreement , defines boundaries and deadlines, and includes both time and financial commitments required by the service site. Strong site agreements provide clear guidance for all partners in the service program, and they are extremely important program management tools.
