Cowlitz Americorps Network

Cowlitz County is now part of a national service program where people of all ages and backgrounds earn a stipend and an education award in return for an 11-month commitment to serve the community. The Cowlitz Wahkiakum Council of Governments and United Way boards jointly approved the selection of a local non-profit, Life Works, to develop the program and provide day-to-day support and oversight.  Fiscal management responsibility has resided with Grantee, United Way of Cowlitz County, from the program’s inception to December 2010.  United Way released that responsibility to LifeWorks in January 2011. The program is administered by the Corporation for National and Community Service from offices in Olympia, Washington.
