  2. Apply for grants available from the Corporation in order to help us reach our goal of supporting 300,000 college students in service.
        
  3. Ensure that 20 percent of your Federal Work-Study funds are devoted to college students who engage in community service, or provide other incentives for volunteering.

  5. Provide a full-time person to coordinate and support service on campus.

  7. Incorporate service-learning into your teacher-training programs.
        
  8. Encourage innovative models of tutoring and mentoring.
        
  9. Sponsor other promising innovations that renew and strengthen the commitment of students to civic life.
