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
