CivicSpark remains operational in light of recent cuts to some (but not all) of our AmeriCorps funding, which have since been enjoined by a court order issued June 5, 2025. Our current fellows continue to serve communities throughout California, Colorado and Washington state and will finish on time in late summer.
We do plan to operate next year under our longstanding AmeriCorps model, and applications are still open! Deadlines have been extended to allow more time to apply. Partner applications will be accepted through June 30 and Fellow applications through July 24. We anticipate starting the fellowship on October 6, 2025 and ending in early September 2026.
Please check our website frequently for updates over the coming weeks as we finalize our plans for our 12th fellowship year. We encourage all interested partners and fellows to apply as soon as possible to ensure a place in the program when we are ready to make decisions. Thank you for your patience and support as we navigate unexpected delays.
