In Sunset Park, the Center for Family Life supports 54 AmeriCorps volunteers who support kids and their parents with educational enrichment programs that serve some 800 children from 11 public schools. Federal funding from AmeriCorps typically covers a stipend for the volunteers, who mostly come from the neighborhood, as well as money toward their college tuition. But in April, the Center for Family Life learned that more than $200,000 of the program’s Americorps funding had been slashed for the remainder of this school year, and nearly $750,000 for next year.
