Participants in AmeriCorps will earn a small living wage while\nperforming work that addresses unmet human, environmental, educational and public safety\nneeds. For each year of service successfully performed, participants also earn an educational\nvoucher of $4,725, which they may use to pay for college, vocational school, job training, or\ngraduate school.\nThis program presents an exciting opportunity for USDA. Secretary Espy has announced that\nUSDA will run a Rural Development Team, a Public Lands and Environmental Team, and an\nEmpowerment and Anti-Hunger Team. These teams will likely participate in activities in areas\nrelated to most USDA agencies, including sustainable agriculture, USDA feeding programs,\nrural development, National Forest maintenance and construction, rural housing, urban tree-\nplanting, nutrition education, soil conservation, youth-at-risk, farmers' markets, watershed\nprotection, urban farming, and food safety.\nThe White House has made it clear that the Department should identify areas in operating plans\nand budget requests where AmeriCorps volunteers can be used to effectively deliver our\nprograms. In order to properly plan our efforts, please compile a list of current FY 94\ninitiatives that lend themselves to AmeriCorps participation, as well as an estimate of how much\nmoney your agency might be able to spend on national service initiatives in FY 95. Please\nprovide this information to Joel Berg, Director of Public Liaison and National Service, by\nJanuary 24, 1994.\nIf you have any questions concerning AmeriCorps, please contact Joel Berg, 720 -4623,\nRoom 213A.\nACTION-OFFICE/DIRECTOR TEL 202-606-4928\nJan 04,94\n11:42 No 001 P.02\nCORPORATION FOR\nNATIONAL\nAND\nCOMMUNITY\nSERVICE\nDATE: January 3, 1994\nTO: Inter-Agency Council Members\nFR: Susan Stroud\nRE: Technical Assistance for Federal Agencies\nThe Corporation for National and Community Service will provide\nfunding on a competitive basis for national service programs. To\nencourage broad participation, the Corporation is conducting a series of\nProgram Application Assistance Workshops. The first of four workshops,\ndesigned to offer information on all of the programs and application\nprocedures of the Corporation, will be held January 10-11 in Washington,\nD.C. at the Ramada Hotel. Attached is additional information on the D.C.\nmeeting, which will include a breakout session specific to the concerns of\nFederal Agencies.\nThe technical assistance meeting will follow a two day agenda. The\nagenda on the first day will begin with an introduction and overview of\nthe Corporation's objectives, the application process, and will include an\nextensive question and answer period. In the afternoon, legal and\nadministrative requirements will be discussed followed by a breakout\nsession. During which the specific concerns of Federal Agencies will be\naddressed. The second day will be geared toward the interests of the state\ncommissions and developing a state service plan. To reserve a space,\nplease fax the attached registration form to the Corporation at (202) 606-\n4854.\nThere will be three additional meetings held:\nJanuary 12-13\nAtlanta, GA\nJanuary 18-19\nKansas City, MO\nJanuary 20-21\nLos Angeles, CA\nWhile there will be no breakout sessions specifically for Federal Agencies,\nthese meetings would still be beneficial for regional and field staff. I\nencourage you to alert your staff outside D.C. about these meetings.\nAttached is information about technical assistance available by\ntelephone. Please encourage your agency's regional and field staff to\n1100 VERMONT AVENUE, NW WASHINGTON, DC 20525\ncontact the Corporation with questions and answers at the scheduled\ntimes. While the Corporation has set up the workshops and the phone\nservice to simplify the application process, I, of course, am always available\nto provide assistance to and answer questions for your agency.\nI am attaching the final version of national priorities for Americorps\nprograms. Program regulations will be published in the Federal Register by\nthe end of this week. 1 will fax them to you as soon as they are available.\nCC: Peter Edelman\n12-13-1993 17:03\n6064928\nCORP NAT'L SERV\nP.03/03\nInteragency Council Meeting\nDecember 15, 1993\nAGENDA\nL\nIntroductions: Peter Edelman, Chair\nVideo of AmeriCorps\nII.\nStatus report on implementation of AmeriCorps: Eli Segal\nIII.\nTechnical assistance to federal agencies: Shirley Sagawa\nIV.\nDiscussion and Questions\nV.\nPublic Affairs: Diana Aldridge\nVI.\nBriefing on Civilian Community Corps: Don Scott\nVII.

How best can the scenario\noutlined below be performed?\nAssumptions:\n1. Decisions need to be made regarding which organizations\nwould be able to offer a post-service Federal benefit and\nwhich individuals would be the ones to receive the\nbenefit. There is a need to make sure that the service is\nworthwhile (i.e. avoid the CETA problems) and make\nsure that there is some geographic distribution of the\nbenefit.\n2. There are potential roles for the federal, state and local\ngovernments, as well as regional and local entities. Want\nto avoid large federal bureaucracy and have\nimplementing decisions be as close to service delivery as\nis possible.\n3. National and community service should be a national\npriority.\nOne scenario:\nPotential Federal role:\ndevelop a federal comprehensive plan and encourage leadership at all\nlevels\nset the focus and standards for the types of service (such as\nenvironment/ education; youth, elderly)\ndecide which States can participate (based on proposals)\nspot audit to make sure compliance is being met\nsupport clearinghouses, research, replication, training\nPresidential leadership --- bully pulpit, inspire\nAgencies whose missions directly relate to a problem could support or\noperate a program (i.e. EPA and a environmental corps, Interior or\nAgriculture a conservation corps, etc.).\nPotential State role:\ndevelop a state comprehensive plan for service and coordinate with\nother state activities\ncertify local organizations that qualify for federal/state funds and\nmonitor compliance.\noperate or support national service programs (such as subtitle D\nprograms)\nleadership from governor, state school officer, corporate, college\npresidents, foundations\ntraining for infrastructure --- particularly school teachers\nPotential Local role:\nencourage service by weaving into ongoing institutions\nencourage partnerships between organizations that cross racial and\neconomic lines\noperate community service programs, encourage grass roots\nentrepreneurs\nInvitees\nNational Service Meeting\nJanuary 12, 1993\nJoel Berg\nBillie Ann Meyers\nTransition Team\nDirector\nDivision of Volunteerism\nJohn Briscoe\nLittle Rock, AK\nDirector\nPennSERVE\nCatherine Milton\nHarrisburg, PA\nCNCS\nPeter Edelman\nShirley Sagawa\nTransition Team\nCNCS\nTom Endress\nRichard Staufenberger\nACTION\nCNCS\nWilliam Galston\nSusan Stroud\nTransition Team\nDirector\nCampus Compact\nRobert Gordon\nProvidence, RI\nTransition Team\nMelanne Verveer\nPatricia Kells\nTransition Team\nExecutive Director\nKansas State Dept. of Education\nLisa Woll\nTopeka, KS\nNational Association of Service and\nConservation Corps\nMimi Mager\nWashington, DC\nTransition Team\nNote: Look forward to seeing you at the meeting. - Catherine\n2029731475\n002\nOUTLINE - Clinton Nati Service Bill\nShort title: National Service Trust Fund Act of 1993\nTitle I Amendments to the Watinal and Community Service Ant of 1990\nSubtitle A: Creation of the National Service Trust Fund\nEligibilty of induviduals\nTerm of Service\nQualitied National Service\nEducational Benefts Camount and vee)\nAllocation of Funds\nState Governance\nFederal Envernance\nAuthorization of Appropriations\nSubtitle B: Additional Amendments\n-police carps/pre-professional corps\nAddition of Program Authority - individual placements\nState National Service Commissions\n- public service entreprements\nAmendments to the Governance Structure of the\ncommission on National and community Service\nAuthority to fund model programs directly\nTitle II Amendments to the Higher Education Act\nTitle TII: Amenderents to the Dornestic Voluntees Service Act\n(necessary if ACTION is eliminated)\nVISTA is expanded\nTitle IV: Amendments to the Peace Corps Act\nPeace Crrpsis expanded)\nAgenda\nInter-Departmental Working Group On National Service\nJune 30th, 1993\n* Introduction: Peter Edelman\nWelcome\nExplanation of handouts\nBrief description of working group's function\n* Status of National Service Legislation: Shirley Sagawa\nSee Legislative Summary\n* Building an Ethic of Service - National Service Program Development\nEfforts: Susan Stroud\nOverview of program development strategy\nExamples of national service placements\n* Departments' Role in Program Development: General Discussion\n- help determine policy priority areas\n- help identify experts and constituencies\n- begin to develop/expand programs in own departments\n(see handout for funding options)\n* Next Steps\nSee handout on follow-up tasks\nFOLLOW-UP AGENDA FOR NATIONAL SERVICE INTERAGENCY GROUP\n1. Help develop agenda for issue-specific outreach to implement the\nforthcoming national service legislation:\n-- Identify constituency groups to be contacted which can in turn\nreach others to encourage organizational applications for national\nservice slots;\n-- Identify individuals inside and outside the government who can\nhelp in the process of contacting and meeting with constituencies,\nhelp to create ideas for service roles and the organization of\nservice roles, and advise about training and technical assistance;\n-- Develop ideas for service roles connected with agency programs\nand areas of responsibility, to be shared with outside\nconstituencies who may apply for national service funds;\n-- Suggest agenda items for issue-specific working groups,\nincluding cross-cutting issues like ways to assure diversity; and\n-- Suggest challenges the President can make to different sectors\nin the society, e.g., schools, businesses, religious groups, to\ninvolve themselves more extensively in service.\n2. Begin (or continue) brainstorming within departments and\nagencies as to their own role in national service, bearing in mind\nthe FY 95 budget cycle for any ideas that require new money:\n-- Plan for new ideas for service or expansion of existing service\nprograms within the various departments. The same substantive idea\ncould take any of three forms:\no A new idea for an agency's own programs, to be funded\nout of the agency's own budget;\no Planning for the federal agency competition portion of\nthe national service legislation, including any technical\nassistance the agency needs from the Office for National\nService or the new Corporation on National Service; or\nO Ideas that can be shared with constituency groups\nwhich might then apply to States and/or the new\nCorporation for funding.\n-- Develop ways to incorporate an array of service activities into\ncurrent programs that merit inclusion of a service component;\n-- Develop ideas for connecting existing service programs more\nintegrally with the broader national service initiative; and\n-- Develop additional and expanded opportunities for employee\nvolunteer activities.\ndeta the to fund funjet\nMay 25, 1993\nShe suphying EP Some.\nJoel,\nAlison Rainey, EPA/National Service person, said she would love to meet with us.\nTentatively scheduled meeting for Wednesday, June 2 at 11 p.m. here, pending the\navailability of Mike Sweeny (sp?), Interior/National Service person.
