The Corporation for National and Community Service (hereinafter the “Corporation’’) announces the anticipated availability of approximately $40 million--subject to Congressional appropriation--of Learn and Serve America funds to implement and support School-Based, Community-Based, and Higher Education service-learning programs in FY 2006. The Grant competitions are described in this NOFO. See the Community-Based and Higher Education NOFOs for information about those competitions.
This competition is devoted to expanding high-quality service-learning in K-12 schools with the purpose of helping the Corporation reach its goal of fostering service-learning in at least fifty percent of all public schools by the year 2010. This competition is also intended to increase the proportion of Learn and Serve participants who come from disadvantaged backgrounds from forty percent to sixty percent.
Learn and Serve School-Based grants provide funds to State Education Agencies (SEAs) and Grant Making Entities (GMEs), which must make subgrants to state-defined Local Education Agencies (LEAs) that are in partnership with at least one additional organization. LEA partners may include private schools, for-profit businesses, faith-based organizations, other nonprofits, and institutions of higher education. LEA partnerships are responsible for implementation, replication, and expansion of service-learning activities in local communities.
