Corporation
for National and Community Service
The Corporation for National and
Community Service connects Americans of all ages and backgrounds
with opportunities to give back to their communities and
their Nation through voluntary service. More than 2 million
Americans serve their fellow citizens each year through
the Corporation's three main programs: AmeriCorps,
Senior Corps, and Learn and Serve
America. In partnership with nonprofit groups,
faith-based organizations, schools, and other public agencies,
participants in these programs tutor children, build and
renovate homes, provide immunizations and health screenings,
clean up and preserve the environment, serve on neighborhood
crime-prevention patrols, and respond to disasters. They
also recruit and manage volunteers and otherwise help
to build the strength and effectiveness of nonprofit organizations.
Learn and Serve America also hosts the National
Service-Learning Clearinghouse (NSLC) to support
the service-learning community in higher education, grades
K-12, community-based initiatives, tribal programs, and
other organizations interested in using service-learning
techniques and methodologies with materials, references,
referrals, and information available online at www.servicelearning.org. |
