The Missouri Community Service Commission’s (MCSC) vision is a Missouri where every Missourian knows they have the ability to volunteer in their community.

MCSC is housed within the Harry S. Truman Building in Jefferson City, Missouri, and is a part of the Business and Community Solutions Division of the Missouri Department of Economic Development. MCSC promotes and recognizes service volunteers and oversees the AmeriCorps programs in Missouri. 

Strengthening Missouri communities through volunteerism and service. 

MCSC was established in 1994 as a direct response to the National and Community Service Trust Act of 1993. MCSC receives funds from the Corporation for National and Community Service, awarding grants to local organizations enabling the establishment of AmeriCorps programs.

They contribute 133 million hours worth $3.2 billion to Missouri!
