              <Paragraph>The Corporation for National and Community Service (CNCS) was established on October 1, 1993, by the National and Community Service Trust Act of 1993 (42 U.S.C. 12651 et seq.). CNCS is a Federal corporation governed by a 15-member bipartisan Board of Directors, appointed by the President and with the advice and consent of the Senate. The Board has responsibility for overall policy direction of the Corporation's activities and has the power to make all final grant decisions, approve the strategic plan and annual budget, and advise and make recommendations to the President and the Congress regarding changes in the national service laws.</Paragraph>

CNCS harnesses America’s most powerful resource: the energy and talents of our citizens. From grade school through retirement, CNCS empowers Americans and fosters a lifetime of service to improve lives, strengthen communities, and foster civic engagement.</Paragraph>

              <Paragraph>AmeriCorps provides intensive opportunities for more than 75,000 Americans each year to serve their communities. AmeriCorps members recruit, train, and supervise community volunteers, tutor and mentor youth, build affordable housing, teach computer skills, clean parks and streams, run afterschool programs, and help communities respond to disasters and nonprofit groups to become self-sustaining. In exchange for a year of full-time service, AmeriCorps members earn an education award that can be used to pay for college or graduate school, or to pay back qualified student loans. Since 1994 more than 800,000 Americans have served in AmeriCorps. AmeriCorps has three main programs: AmeriCorps*State and National, AmeriCorps*NCCC, and AmeriCorps*VISTA.</Paragraph>

More than three-quarters of AmeriCorps grant funding goes to Governor-appointed State Service commissions, which in turn award grants to nonprofit groups to respond to local needs. AmeriCorps*NCCC (National Civilian Community Corps) is a team-based, residential program for men and women from age 18 to 24 that combines the best practices of civilian service, including leadership and team building. AmeriCorps*VISTA (Volunteers in Service to America) members serve full-time, for 1 year, in nonprofits, public agencies, and faith-based organizations to fight poverty, improve health services, increase housing opportunities, and bridge the digital divide.</Paragraph>

RSVP volunteers help local police departments conduct safety patrols, participate in environmental projects, provide intensive educational services to children and adults, respond to natural disasters, and recruit other volunteers. Foster Grandparents serve as tutors and mentors to young people with special needs. Senior Companions help homebound seniors and other adults maintain independence in their own homes. Senior Corps volunteers served 1.5 million Americans, including 560,000 veterans and 300,000 children.</Paragraph>

A key White House initiative and program of CNCS, the Fund seeks to identify solutions that work and to make them work for more people.

              <Paragraph>As the Federal agency for service and volunteerism, CNCS carries out the Call to Service authority in multiple ways. CNCS's initiatives include: the Martin Luther King, Jr. National Day of Service, the September 11th National Day of Service and Remembrance, National Mentoring Month, the President's Higher Education Community Service Honor Roll, and United We Serve, a nationwide effort launched with the White House in 2009 to engage Americans in service to meet community needs. As a result of United We Serve, hundreds of thousands of Americans have joined with friends and neighbors to replenish food banks, provide health services, support veterans and military families, restore public lands, and more. CNCS has also partnered with other agencies and nonprofit organizations on the "Let's Read!" initiative to reduce summer reading loss and the "Let's Move!" initiative to combat childhood obesity, and "Joining Forces," an effort led by First Lady Michelle Obama and Dr. Jill Biden to engage Americans in supporting veterans and military families.</Paragraph>
