CORPORATION FOR NATIONAL AND COMMUNITY SERVICE
Notice of Meetings
AGENCY: Corporation for National and Community Service.
SUMMARY: On September 21, 1993, President Clinton signed the National
and Community Service Trust Act of 1993, that merged the Commission on
National and Community Service, ACTION, and the newly established
Civilian Community Corps, to create the Corporation for National and
Community Service. The Corporation is presenting a series of regional
workshops in Washington, DC, Atlanta, Kansas City, and Los Angeles, to
provide application assistance to organizations applying for national
and community service program grants.
Functioning as a service ``venture capitalist'', the Corporation
will provide funding on a population-based formula and competitive
basis for national and community service programs, and as a
clearinghouse of information and technical expertise for service
initiatives nationwide.
To encourage broad participation in national service, the
Corporation is conducting this series of workshops to support the
application of high quality, national service programs and service-
learning K-12 and higher education programs. Approximately $189 million
will be available to these programs, to assist in the planning,
operating and replicating of national and community service programs.
The primary audience for these workshops will be those applying
directly to the Corporation, including State Commissions or alternative
entities, State educational agencies, higher education institutions,
Indian Tribes, territories, Federal agencies, professional corps,
national nonprofits, and multi-State organizations. State Commissions
will be responsible for providing technical assistance to local
applicants applying to their States.
In addition, those local nonprofits organizations, government
agencies, Indian Tribes, and higher education institutions interested
in applying for Summer of Safety should attend.
For those who are unable to attend the workshops, the corporation
will be sponsoring other assistance programs, including tele/video-
conferences and printed material. Please contact the Corporation at
(202) 606-5000, or FAX (202) 606-4845, for additional information on
