CORPORATION FOR NATIONAL AND

COMMUNITY SERVICE

Availability of Funds for

AmeriCorps*VISTA/Higher Education

and Non-Profit Service-Learning

Program Grants

AGENCY

:

Corporation for National and

Community Service.

ACTION

:

Notice of availability of funds.

SUMMARY

:

The Corporation for National

and Community Service (hereinafter

‘‘the Corporation’’) announces the

availability of funds for fiscal year 2000

for new AmeriCorps*VISTA (Volunteers

in Service to America) Program grants

and placements focusing on meeting the

needs of low income communities, both

urban and rural, through institutions of

higher learning and non-profit

organizations engaged in service-

learning-focused activities, including

current Learn and Serve America

grantees.

As Harris Wofford, the CEO for the

Corporation has stated, ‘‘by making the

entire community the classroom,

service-learning teaches students how to

be better students and better citizens.’’

The Corporation for National Service

defines service-learning as an

educational method:

•

Under which students or

participants learn and develop through

active participation in thoughtfully

organized service that is conducted in

and meets the needs of a community;

•

Which is coordinated within an

elementary school, secondary school,

institution of higher education, or

community service program, and with

the community;

•

Which helps foster civic

responsibility;

•

Which is integrated into and

enhances the academic curriculum of

the students, or the educational

components of the community service

program in which the participant is

enrolled; and

•

Which provides structured time for

the students or participants to reflect on

the service experience.

AmeriCorps*VISTA/Higher Education

and Non-Profit Service-Learning

Program Grants will focus on service-

learning activities addressing the needs

of low-income communities in school

districts. AmeriCorps*VISTA Program

grant recipients must create sustainable

anti-poverty service-learning programs

after the AmeriCorps*VISTA resources

are withdrawn. Applicants must clearly

describe sustainable outcomes in terms

of the impact on residents of low-

income communities, both urban and

rural, through the efforts of these

projects.

Up to 10 grants will be funded. Each

grant will support a minimum of five

AmeriCorps*VISTA members. Grants

with a larger number of

AmeriCorps*VISTA members are

encouraged. It is expected that grants

will be awarded in September 2000.

Each proposed grant project must be

within the jurisdiction of a single

Corporation for National Service State

Office (state offices cover their own

states only, with the following

exceptions that are combined: Maine &

New Hampshire, Vermont &

Massachusetts; North & South Dakotas;

Virginia & Washington, DC; Puerto Rico

& Virgin islands; Maryland & Delaware).

DATES

:

Applications must be received

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION

:

A. Background

The Corporation is a Federal

government corporation that encourages

Americans of all ages and backgrounds

to engage in community-based service.

This service addresses the nation’s

educational, public safety,

environmental and other human needs

to achieve direct and demonstrable

results. In doing so, we strive to foster

civic responsibility, strengthen the ties

that bind us together as a people, and

provide educational opportunity for

those who make a substantial

commitment to service. We support a

range of national service programs,

including AmeriCorps, Learn and Serve

America, and the National Senior

Service Corps.

AmeriCorps*VISTA, a component of

AmeriCorps, is authorized under the

Domestic Volunteer Service Act of 1973,

as amended (Pub. L. 93–113). The

statutory mandate of

AmeriCorps*VISTA is ‘‘to strengthen

and supplement efforts to eliminate and

alleviate poverty and poverty-related

problems in the United States by

encouraging and enabling persons from

all walks of life, all geographical areas,

and all age groups * * * (to) assist in

the solution of poverty and poverty-

related problems, and * * * to generate

the commitment of private sector

resources, to encourage volunteer

service at the local level, and to

strengthen local agencies and

organizations to carry out the purpose

(of the program).’’ (42 U.S.C. 4951)

AmeriCorps*VISTA carries out its

legislative mandate by assigning

individuals 18 years and older, on a

full-time, year-long basis, to public and

private non-profit organizations. Each

AmeriCorps*VISTA project must focus

on the mobilization of community

resources, the transference of skills to

community residents, and the

expansion of the capacity of

community-based organizations to solve

local problems. Programming should

encourage permanent, long-term

solutions to problems confronting low-

income communities rather than short-

term approaches for handling

emergency needs.

AmeriCorps*VISTA projects must

actively elicit the support and/or

participation of local public and private

sector elements in order to enhance the

chances of a project’s success, as well as

to make the activities undertaken by

AmeriCorps*VISTA members self-

sustaining.

B. Purpose of This Announcement

The purpose of this announcement is

to solicit applicants from the service-
