FACT SHEET
NATIONAL SERVICE TRUST ACT OF 1993
The "National Service Trust Act of 1993" is innovative public policy founded on
traditional American values: offering educational opportunity, demanding personal
responsibility, and building the American community. In affirming these values, the initiative
also rejects big bureaucracy -- reinventing government to unleash the initiative of the
American people.
The President's support for service extends from the youngest elementary school
students to our oldest citizens, and includes everything from part-time volunteer activities to
full-time public service jobs.
The President's initiative will:
Build the American community through a new domestic Peace Corps that brings
Americans together to tackle pressing national problems.
Offer educational opportunity and reward individual responsibility by providing
educational awards to hundreds of thousands of Americans who serve our country.
Reinvent government by streamlining Federal bureaucracies, relying on locally driven
initiatives, and creating flexibility for students and competition among programs.
The Act will establish a Corporation for National Service that will offer Americans
who do vital work in the national service initiative an educational award.
The Corporation will establish quality criteria and require measurable impacts, but
within these bounds, communities will be able to design programs that meet their own
pressing needs. Programs will be expected to educate their participants both in the particular
skills their service demands and in the civic responsibility that our democracy requires. In all
respects, the Act is designed to build partnerships among Federal Government, State
governments, and the private sector; and within communities, among the schools, businesses,
and civic organizations that seek to fight common problems. Assistance will be distributed on
a competitive basis and no program will have a right to funding, but a wide variety of
organizations will have a chance to establish programs that serve our country.
1
Definition of National Service
Meets unmet educational, environmental, human, or public safety needs.
Improves the life of the participant, through citizenship education and training.
Does not displace or duplicate the functions of existing workers.
Organization
To reduce waste and promote an entrepreneurial government culture, a new
government Corporation for National Service will be established, combining the
Commission on National and Community Service and ACTION.
While maintaining existing programs such as VISTA, the new program makes
investments in new initiatives; neither the Corporation nor the State commissions will
operate them.
A small bipartisan Board will share power with a Chairperson.
Flexible and quality-driven personnel policies will include pay-for-performance and a
7-year limit on most tenures.
The Corporation may solicit and accept private contributions.
At the state level, commissions on national service will be established to mirror and
cooperate with the Federal Corporation.
Like the Corporation Board, commissions will be composed of bipartisan members
from a variety of fields. To ensure a genuine Federal/State partnership, a representative
of the Corporation will sit on the State commissions, and a State representative will sit
on the Corporation Board.
All programs will have to compete for support; none will be guaranteed funding.
One-third of funds will be allocated by population-based formula to State commissions
with approved plans for competitive distribution of funds; at least one-third to State
commissions on a competitive basis for competitive distribution; and up to one-third
will be reserved to the Corporation for allocation on a competitive basis.
Programs
National quality criteria for programming will be developed for every type of program
in conjunction with experts in the field.
Performance goals and independent evaluations will be required in every program.
2
An Inspector General will police fraud and abuse and perform oversight of funded
programs.
To encourage public/private partnership, programs must provide a 15 percent cash
match on stipends and health care and a 25 percent match for other program support.
Entities ranging from small community organizations to Federal agencies will be
eligible to operate service programs.
A broad array of possible programs will be eligible for funding: from youth corps for
at-risk youth, to specialized service programs for college graduates, to diverse
community corps for Americans of all backgrounds. Many other models are possible,
and venture capital will be available for new efforts.
Participants
To encourage wide and diverse participation, individuals aged 17 and over may serve
before, during, or after post-secondary education.
To target program participation to participant interests and community needs,
participants will be recruited and selected by approved local programs. A national or
State recruitment system will also be established to disseminate information and help
interested individuals locate placements in local programs. Information about
available positions will be widely disseminated through high schools, colleges, and
other placement offices.
To earn an educational award, a participant must complete at least 1 year of full-time
or 2 years of part-time service in an approved program. An individual may serve up to
two terms and earn up to two educational awards.
Educational awards of $5,000 will be provided for each term of service. Awards may
be used for past, present or future expenses, including 2- and 4-year colleges, training
programs, and graduate or professional programs.
Programs will set stipends within a limited range based at minimum wage. Health and
child care will be provided to those who need them.
Encouraging Service by All
The Act enhances the Serve-America program for school-age youth.
The Act extends and improves the VISTA and Older Americans Volunteer Programs.
The Act reauthorizes support for the Civilian Community Corps.
The Act reauthorizes support for the Points of Light Foundation.
