On February 8, 2006, the Corporation for National and Community Service released its Strategic Plan for 2006-2010. The plan, which benefited from extensive public input, is a blueprint for increasing the effectiveness of the Corporation’s programs and operations, and for defining the unique role that national service can play in building a culture of citizenship, service, and responsibility in America.

• Statement from CEO and Board Chair

The plan identities five “focus areas” where the Corporation intends to significantly ramp up its efforts in the next five years:

• Mobilizing More Volunteers
• Ensuring a Brighter Future for All of America’s Youth
• Engaging Students in Communities
• Harnessing Baby Boomers’ Experience
• Supporting Disaster Preparedness*

Each focus area includes specific targets at both the national and Corporation levels, and each requires the Corporation’s programs to work together to achieve these important objectives.

Other elements of the plan include:

• Revised Statement of Mission and Guiding Principles
• Focus on Management
• Annual Focus Area Targets 

Said Corporation CEO David Eisner: “By setting priorities and providing a focus for the future, the plan helps our thousands of grantees, sponsors, and stakeholders plan for the future while also giving them the flexibility to respond to local needs in a local manner.”
