The New York State Commission on National and Community Service qualifies the State for Federal community service grants for local not-for-profit agencies. These community service grants support programs providing youth education, assistance to individuals with disabilities, public health services, and disaster preparedness.

Organization and Staffing

The Office of National and Community Service is led by an Executive Director and is hosted by the Office of Children and Family Services, which provides contracting, budgeting, and human resources support.

Budget Highlights

The FY 2025 Executive Budget recommends $31 million in appropriations for NCS, which is a $121,000 net increase in funding from FY 2024. Adjustments reflect the $32,000 increase related to the minimum wage increases and $89,000 increase for union settlement agreements.

The Executive Budget recommends a workforce of 10 full-time employees, which is unchanged from FY 2024 levels.
