The Maryland Service Corps was created in
1972 within the Department of Employment and
Social Services (Chapter 354, Acts of 1972). The
Corps became part of the Department of Human
Resources in 1975 (Chapter 382, Acts of 1975). In
1986, the Corps was transferred to the Office on
Volunteerism (Chapter 13, Acts of 1986).

The Corps promotes and supports a statewide
program of voluntarism and citizen participation
that strengthens the capability of public and pri-
vate non-profit agencies to provide certain
services.

The Corps facilitates volunteer recruitment and
training and, through agreements with host agen-
cies, places volunteers directly with county de-
partments of social services, health departments,
commissions on aging, community action pro-
grams, and a variety of other programs. The
Corps also provides technical assistance to agen-
cies in order to enhance the quality and effective-
ness of voluntarism and citizen participation in
Maryland. This assistance includes the develop-
ment and presentation of workshops and confer-
ences, as well as the development and distribution
of resource material relating to special issues and
interests in the field of voluntarism.
