| 00-17152 | Availability of Funds for AmeriCorps*VISTA/Higher Education and Non-Profit Service-Learning Program Grants | Notice | 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: <bullet> 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; <bullet> Which is coordinated within an elementary school, secondary school, institution of higher education, or community service program, and with the community; <bullet> Which helps foster civic responsibility; <bullet> 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 <bullet> 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recipients must create sustainable anti-poverty service- learning programs after the AmeriCorps*VISTA resources are withdrawn.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). | 2000-07-07 | 2000 | 7 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2000/07/07/00-17152/availability-of-funds-for-americorpsvistahigher-education-and-non-profit-service-learning-program | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2000-07-07/pdf/00-17152.pdf | Corporation for National and Community Service | 91 | 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... |
