To help serve Coloradans and meet vital healthcare needs, Serve Colorado, Governor Polis, and the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment have partnered on the creation of the Colorado Healthcare Corps, an AmeriCorps program. Our goal is to demonstrate success with this AmeriCorps pilot and ultimately integrate operations with the well established Colorado Health Services Corps within the Health Access Branch at the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment.
Approximately 150 individuals will be recruited to serve as skilled AmeriCorps members at interested healthcare facilities across Colorado. To host a member, a facility must be an institution of higher education, local government, nonprofit organization, or Tribal government.
Facilities may determine what member role, requirements, and schedule will look like, including:
- Experience or previous education (e.g., licensed CNAs);
- Health Corps member schedule (2-3 days per week to full-time); or
- Health Corps member term of service (e.g., 3 months to 1 year).
Health Corps members will receive compensation from the program for their service including a living allowance, housing stipend, healthcare and childcare benefits, and an AmeriCorps education award to repay student loans or to put towards future education expenses.
If you are interested in hosting a Healthcare Corps member(s), please complete the form below. We will follow up with you with more information. If you have questions about hosting an AmeriCorps member, please email

Thank you for your interest in hosting a Healthcare Corps member!
