MEMORANDUM FOR BRUCE REED
CORPORATION
ELENA KAGAN
FOR NATIONAL
FROM:
JOHN GOMPERTS
AG.
SERVICE
SUSAN STROUD
GARY KOWALCZYK
SUBJECT:
THE CORPORATION FOR NATIONAL SERVICE'S
EARLY CHILDHOOD DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMS
This memo is in response to the President's request for a list of our existing and planned
early childhood development programs, in preparation for the White House Conference
on Early Learning and the Brain.
EXISITING PROJECTS & INITIATIVES
The Corporation for National Service continues to focus on the importance of early
childhood education and development. Two of the Corporation's national service
funding priority areas- education and human needs - support early childhood service
projects in hundreds of communities across America. In addition, the Corporation's
Board of Directors voted earlier this year to give funding priority to grant applications
that target services to children and youth.
The Corporation is comprised of three program units: AmeriCorps, the National Senior
Service Corps, and Learn and Serve America. Each of these three units has invested
substantially in projects and service that effect children in the youngest years of life, and
in many cases, the families of those children. Overall, more than 1.2 million Americans
participate in programs that receive Corporation support. Attached is a list which
highlights some, but not all, of the Corporation's current investment in early childhood.
It is not possible at this time to provide an exact list of the number of Corporation-
supported programs and projects that effect early childhood, because many of these
programs are selected through state commissions (gubernatorial appointees) and have
different implementation timelines. Other programs and projects include early childhood
as part of a broader client/service target population, e.g. family services, emergency
shelter, reading readiness/literacy, immunization efforts, and many others.

CNS has also joined with HUD and the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) on the
"Pockets of Need" immunization initiative, which reaches out to children under age 2 in
public housing areas with the highest rates of under-immunization. CNS provides service
volunteers to broaden the program's reach at several demonstration project sites.
The Corporation has also funded the AmeriCorps Early Childhood Technical Assistance
Center (ECTAC) to provide technical assistance to grantees engaged in school readiness,
early childhood development, Head Start, early childhood education, teen parenting,
parent training, and other early childhood programs. ECTAC works closely with the
Child Care Bureau at the Department of Health and Human Services and with the
National Child Care Information Center. ECTAC recently drafted two preliminary
resource guides: Early Childhood Programs and National Service - A Resource Guide for
Community-Based Early Childhood Planning, and On the Road to Reading - A Guide for
Community Partners Working to Promote Children's Reading. The final versions of
these guides are scheduled to be published this spring.
PLANNED PROJECTS & INITIATIVES
CNS has made children the focus of the upcoming Presidents' Summit For America's
Future. All five Summit goals are targeted to benefit children, and the "A Healthy Start"
goal particularly focuses on the earliest years of life. "A Healthy Start" recognizes that
adequate health care and healthy behaviors are essential to every child's development and
well-being.
CNS has sought Summit commitments from businesses and organizations nationwide to
further the Summit's five goals, including "A Healthy Start" goal. Attached is a
(working draft) list of Summit commitments to date. Highlights from "A Healthy Start"
commitment list include:
The National Head Start Association, the National Association of Foster Grandparent
Program Directors and the National Association of Retired and Senior Volunteer
Program Directors has committed to placing senior citizen volunteers in each of the
43,000 Head Start centers nationwide to serve as tutors and mentors to at-risk children
and families.
The United Way of America has committed to supporting 50 additional local United
Way collaborative community initiatives to help children enter school ready to learn,
and they will elevate early childhood development to an organization-wide priority
focus area.
03/24/97 MUN 14:00 FAA 2025052701
UNS
The National Center for Learning Disabilities, Inc. has committed to helping more
than 500,000 children enrolled in Head Start and other preschool programs to get off
to a healthy start through the creation of teacher training tools that bridge special and
general education teaching practices.
In addition, the Corporation has partnered with the Department of Education to help
implement the President's America Reads challenge. An army of AmeriCorps members
will help recruit one million America Reads tutors.
FUTURE (BUDGET NEUTRAL) PROPOSALS
Despite our efforts and local projects, we hope to do even more to enhance early
childhood development.
By using service as a strategy, the Corporation for National Service can help enhance and
broaden the efforts of federal agencies at the local level. AmeriCorps and Senior Corps
volunteers can help our local public and private non-profit partners capacity build
existing early childhood development programs
We look forward to working with the Interagency Working Group on Early Childhood
Development in developing an accelerated federal effort to target the earliest years of life
by using service as a strategy.
In addition, we look forward to beginning new partnerships to enhance early childhood
development as a result of the Summit For America's Future.

Attachment I - AmeriCorps
In hundreds of communities across the nation, 25,000 AmeriCorps members
perform intensive service, much of which addresses the needs of young children.
Examples of such programs include:
In 27 communities in California, Texas, New Jersey, Minnesota, Florida, Ohio,
and other states, AmeriCorps members are recruiting and training new child
care providers, assisting family day care homes with licensing, providing
resource materials for families, and serving children directly in child care
settings.
Through a project with the National Council of Jewish Women in New York,
Ohio, and Florida, 125 AmeriCorps members serve in the homes of 3-5 year old
children and their educationally disadvantaged parents, teaching school
readiness and literacy.
In McComb, Mississippi, 3 AmeriCorps* VISTA members are providing parent
training and accessing child care for 150 low income families.
Teams of AmeriCorps* National Civilian Community Corps members teach
reading readiness and pre-math skills to pre-schoolers in Denver, do health
education and school readiness with teen parents in Chicago, have constructed
playgrounds in Nevada, Maryland, and New Jersey, and have lead child
immunization projects in South Carolina, Kentucky, Colorado, and California.
35 AmeriCorps members in Nashville, Tennessee work with 400 pre-school
children and their families, providing early childhood nutrition and health
education, parenting education, and child abuse prevention counseling.

Corporation for National Service Attachment II . National Senior Service Corps
More than 500,000 Americans, age 55 and older, serve each year in the National
Senior Service Corps (NSSC). Two NSSC initiatives, the Foster Grandparent
Program and the Retired and Senior Volunteer Program (RSVP), provide senior
volunteers who do a wide variety of service to children in the early years of life,
often on a one-on-one basis. Last year 36,000 children under the age of five -
many with physical disabilities--received caring and nurturing from Foster
Grandparents. An additional 6,800 RSVP volunteers provided teaching, reading,
skill development, and other much-needed service to tens of thousands of children
under age five. Specific examples of these services include:
In Zuni, New Mexico; San Diego, California; and Dubuque, Iowa Foster
Grandparents help take care of newborns and infants with their teen parents go
to school. These Foster Grandparents also serve as mentors and counselors to
the teen parents and assist them with health and nutrition needs for the
children.
14 Foster Grandparents in Marietta, Georgia do language skills, pre-reading
activities, and social skills with low-income pre-school children.
Nationally, Foster Grandparents volunteered in more than 1,100 Head Start
Centers, from inner-city Atlanta to rural Upshur County, West Virginia to
Fairbanks, Alaska, and more. In many Centers, they provide individualized
attention and guidance to young children with mental, physical and emotional
disabilities. They serve as readers, teacher assistants, and role models for the
parents.
In one New York City hospital, 75 Foster Grandparents help care for "boarder
babies" who are born addicted to drugs and with the HIV virus. The FGPs care
for them until the babies can be placed with extended family or in foster care.
The Head Start Family Literacy Project at Beaver College (PA) uses RSVPs to
read to the pre-school children and to train the parents on how to read aloud to
their children.
RSVP volunteers do child abuse prevention and counseling in Mendenhall,
Mississippi and in Gadsden, Alabama; visit with home-based Head Start
children and families in Grand Falls, North Dakota; and do bi-lingual early
childhood education with migrant children in Pueblo County, Colorado.

Attachment III - Learn & Serve America
The Corporation's program unit for part-time student service, Learn and Serve
America, has two divisions. Learn and Serve: School and Community Programs
supports community-based service learning opportunities for young people ages 5-
17, and enrolls both students and out-of-school youth. Learn and Serve: Higher
Education supports efforts to make service an integral part of the college
experience.
Approximately 750,000 students of all ages are Learn and Serve participants.
Much of the service done by these students is with and on behalf of young
children in kindergarten or elementary school. That is, over 100,000 Learn &
Serve participants volunteer as tutors, coaches, readers, mentors, health aides,
teacher aides, and in other positions that effect 6-17 year olds. Exemplary
Learn and Serve programs that effect children in the earliest years of life include:
35 medical students from the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences
serve at six area health centers, assisting in pre-natal care, immunizations, and
health education and outreach efforts.
In cooperation with the Robert Wood Johnson Medical School in New Jersey,
medical students do home visits to pre-school children and their families to
identify and reduce health risks and improve child nutrition.
At Fairfield University, Connecticut, 80 students serve as "literacy coaches"
with more than 100 Head Start children and their parents. Fairfield's School
of Nursing has all of its 189 full-time nursing students doing health screening
and community outreach events that reach thousands of children under age 5.
At Harcum College, Pennsylvania, 60 parents (most of whom never attended
college) are enrolled as Learn & Serve participants and trained as tutors in an
early childhood education program. More than 480 at-risk pre-school children
were tutored last year.
Students at LeMoyne-Owen College in Tennessee provide pre-reading and
literacy skill development to 3-5 year olds in low-income neighborhoods of
Memphis. These college students also take the pre-schoolers on field trips and
do one-on-one counseling with the parents of the pre-schoolers.

FROM:
J. Brian Atwood
SUBJECT:
Federal Policies Targeted to Children in
their Earliest Years
This message responds to your memorandum, dated February 24,
1997, to all heads of Executive Departments and Agencies for
information on activities that target childhood development. I
am delighted to provide this report to you because I believe the
U.S. Agency for International Development's (USAID) programs and
projects in this area are among the finest in the world.
USAID's development assistance programs directly improve the
living conditions of children now being born in the developing
world. Within this broad agenda, USAID supports three major sets
of programs specifically oriented to pre-school children: 1)
health programs for child survival, 2) food for nutritional
supplementation, and, 3) education programs for early childhood
development.
*
In child survival, USAID supports over one hundred
programs in developing countries, directly serving
nearly 50 million children. More than three million
lives are saved every year through USAID immunization
programs alone -- most of them children. For FY 1997,
USAID has budgeted $248.4 million specifically for
child survival activities. In addition, another $40.3
million was budgeted to combat diseases which also
impact on children. These activities account for
nearly one fifth of our Development Assistance budget,
and are supplemented with funds from our International
Disaster Assistance, Economic Support Fund, and New
Independent States accounts, bringing the total to
$303.8 million. Many of these programs are carried out
in partnership with U.S. and indigenous non-
governmental organizations.

Child survival programs target children from the time
of birth up to their fifth birthday, the highest risk
period for serious illness, permanent disability, and
death. The focus of these efforts is on the major
preventable and treatable illnesses that keep children
from achieving their potential. These programs have
been highly successful: we estimate measles
vaccination alone saved the lives of 8.1 million
children over a nine-year period. Similarly, the
promotion of oral rehydration therapy prevented 8.3
million child deaths between 1986 and 1993. USAID is
committed to maintaining these successful efforts
within our budget levels.
In food programs, approximately 18 million pre-school
children in the most food insecure countries of the
world as well as in emergency situations are direct
beneficiaries. For FY 1997, approximately $312 million
is directed at improving the lives, nutrition and early
development of young children. In addition, feeding
programs are directed at pregnant and lactating
mothers, greatly improving the nutritional status of
their children. These activities account for nearly 50
percent of the total non-emergency PL480 program that
USAID administers. Furthermore, direct disaster
assistance efforts benefit approximately 13 million
children at a cost of $30 million. USAID's experience
includes developing child-focused programs in some of
the most difficult circumstances and disadvantaged
regions of the world.
In early childhood development, USAID education
programs directed at pre-school children are working to
incorporate the lessons of successful U.S. efforts in
assuring that children are ready to learn when they
enter school. In FY 1996, USAID devoted $15.9 million
for these programs in Africa, Latin America, Asia and
the Near East. A similar level of resources is
expected for FY 1997.
USAID's experience in working in some of the most
challenging locations in the world offers important insights into
meeting the needs of America's own children. USAID has already
initiated an innovative outreach program, "Lessons Without
Borders, in which we share techniques we have learned
internationally that can have direct applications in the United
States. As a result of "Lessons without Borders,' the city of
Baltimore has been able to increase immunizations rates by more
-3-
than 40 percent for young children. We believe this outreach
effort can be expanded to work collaboratively with domestic
counterparts in sharing our international experience base, with
little or no increase in our annual budgets.

RESPONSE TO THE PRESIDENTIAL MEMORANDUM ON FEDERAL
POLICIES TARGETED TO CHILDREN IN THEIR EARLIEST YEARS
USAID PROGRAMS TARGETING PRESCHOOL CHILDREN
I. Introduction
USAID has three types of programs that are directed at improving
the lives of children in their earliest years: child survival
programs, food programs and education programs (a detailed
listing of these programs is provided in Attachment B). Our
largest effort is in child survival. These child survival
programs target children from birth up to five years of age in
the developing countries of the world. Typically, USAID's child
survival programs strive to reach the neediest children in
developing countries, those who are most at risk of dying from
the threats of infectious disease, malnutrition and poverty.
USAID's child survival programs are now built on an experience
base of over ten years of learning about how best to design,
target and implement intervention programs intended to reach
young children. Similarly, USAID has a long tradition of work in
food programs, substantial portions of which improve the lives,
nutrition and early development of young children. USAID's
experience includes developing such child-focused programs in
some of the most difficult circumstances and disadvantaged
regions of the world. USAID has also developed considerable
expertise with programs in basic education for children, some of
which include targeted activities to support early childhood
development.
This extensive experience base could benefit the development of
child-oriented programs for the U.S. as well. In fact, the
Agency's outreach program, "Lessons Without Borders,' has already
made several substantial contributions to domestic policy-makers
and program managers by sharing USAID's international experience
in serving pre-school children. USAID stands ready to assist in
this government-wide effort.
II. Child Survival Programs
USAID has been a pioneer and international leader in a program
targeted at reducing mortality among infants and children under
the age of five. The international Child Survival Program was
developed based on research and field experience, largely
sponsored by USAID and in conjunction with UNICEF, the World
Health Organization, and other bilateral donors. This program
has had strong Congressional support because of its specific
1
focus on the health of young children and because of its
demonstrated world-wide impact. In 1997, USAID has budgeted
$248.4 million specifically for child survival activities. In
addition, another $40.3 million has been budgeted to combat
diseases which also impact on children. Child survival
activities account for approximately one fifth of our development
assistance budget. In addition to these amounts, approximately
$16.4 million is allocated for child survival related activities
from the Economic Support Fund account, $30 million from the
International Disaster Assistance account, and $9 from our budget
for Eastern Europe and the Newly Independent States.

The technical success of this program has grown out of its
strategic and concentrated focus. First, the leading causes of
death for children under five -- diarrhea, pneumonia, childhood
infectious diseases, malnutrition-- were identified. Then
effective, low cost remedies were developed, tested, and extended
to families worldwide. The major interventions are: oral
rehydration therapy for diarrhea, immunizations against childhood
diseases, promotion of breast feeding, case detection and
management of pneumonia and malaria, and provision of
micronutrients. By targeting these specific interventions,
USAID, with a relatively small budget, has been able to influence
world wide child death rates in the poorest countries. Child
mortality rates in USAID-assisted countries have dropped from
145 to 116 child deaths for every thousand children born in the
decade since this program began.
2
Most of the Agency's child survival programs are managed at the
country or regional level. In addition to the regional programs,
numerous child survival program activities are managed or
administered "centrally" in Washington with outreach to multiple
countries or regions. Some of these programs are organized
around specific subjects or technical issues in our Global Bureau
(such as micronutrient aspects of child health) while others (in
the Bureau for Humanitarian Response) provide support to private
voluntary organizations (PVOs) that often work worldwide. Many
of these organizations bring substantial private resources in
partnership with USAID.
Clients Served (Beneficiaries)
USAID child survival programs usually target children from the
time of birth up to their fifth birthday, the years when a child
is most susceptible to dying from preventable causes. Within
this total child population, USAID targets disadvantaged children
who are most at risk of death or serious health consequences and
who can most benefit from timely programmatic interventions.
Altogether, USAID's child survival programs serve approximately
50 million children worldwide.
Evidence of Success
Perhaps the greatest measure of success in USAID's programs
targeted toward children again relates to the Agency's child
survival efforts. For example, international child survival
program efforts in measles vaccination alone is estimated to have
saved the lives of 8.1 million children over a nine-year period
ending in 1993. Similarly, the use of oral rehydration therapy,
promoted through child survival programs prevented 8.3 million
child deaths between 1986 and 1993. Unfortunately, a child that
survives one disease could succumb to another, particularly if
that child is malnourished. Nevertheless, we project that today
there are at least 10 million more children who are surviving to
reach their adolescence because of USAID-assisted child survival
programs worldwide.
III. Food Assistance and Disaster Relief Programs
Children under school age are also specific targets of USAID Food
Aid programs (Food for Peace), and programs to assist disaster
and war-affected families.
Development Food Aid
USAID obligated $392.5 million on development (non-emergency)
food aid in FY 1996. USAID estimates that 50% of development
(non-emergency) food aid goes directly to children five or under,
3
serving 12.5 million children. Much of the remaining food aid
also serves their mothers, many of whom are pregnant or lactating
women.
Because mothers and children are nutritionally the most
vulnerable groups and because nutrition is most critical to
children in their early years, USAID generally provides non-
emergency food aid in conjunction with programs for young
children. Thirty seven percent of it is provided in conjunction
with child survival activities. By combining food aid with child
survival or maternal and child health programs, children benefit
not only from improved nutrition, but also from other health
interventions. We have also had success combining food aid with
programs for early childhood development, where those programs
exist in developing countries.
USAID's largest food aid child survival program is carried out by
CARE in support of the Indian Government's Integrated Child
Development Services program. At present, CARE is the
counterpart for 91,592 mother and child services centers (called
anganwadi) in seven states of India. In fiscal 1996, these CARE
supported centers served 6.6 million recipients (nearly all young
children) using 154, metric tons of corn soy blend and
vegetable oil valued at nearly $72 million. The program
represents nearly half of the Food For Peace child survival
program.
Assessment: The program has successfully impacted on child
nutritional status through the provision of food supplements
cooked on site, immunizations, health check ups, nutrition and
health education for girls and women, health care referral
services, preschool education for children aged 3-6, treatment of
minor illness, and convergence of other services such as water
supply and sanitation.
Future allocations: The selection process for food aid grants is
a competitive one based on submissions by American and developing
country PVOs. Thus, future allocations and new programs flow
from the PVO community's proposals to improve food security,
especially among vulnerable young children. CARE's program in
India, an Integrated Health and Nutrition Program, in relation to
ICDS, has just been approved for five years.
Emergency Food Aid
Food aid is also provided as part of emergency responses to
natural and manmade disasters. In emergency situations, food aid
is provided to distressed families, with special targeting to
young children who are the most vulnerable.
In FY 1996, the Food for Peace (FFP) emergency program provided
approximately 1.7 million tons of food to over 20.3 million
4
people in 19 countries around the world. The cost of emergency
food aid programs in FY 1996 was $448.9 million, of which 25%, or
$112.23 million, is targeted for children. USAID estimates that
5 million young children have benefited from emergency food aid
in FY 1996.
Food aid to children is making a difference. The direct feeding
reduces the vulnerability and improves the nutritional status of
the young children. CARE, working in Sierra Leone, distributed
food to vulnerable populations of mothers and children under
five. There was a marked improvement in nutrition, enabling the
parents to restart productive activities.
Food For Peace will continue to provide food assistance in
response to emergency needs.
Disaster Assistance
USAID's Office of U.S. Foreign Disaster Assistance provides
assistance to young children who are victims of war and disaster.
In 1996 grants were provided to assist with feeding programs, to
provide health care and hygienic supplies, sanitation, and other
relief programs. In 1996, these grants for children totaled $30
million, and served approximately 13 million children under the
age of five. The disaster relief activities were directed to
Angola, Burundi, China, the former Yugoslavia, Liberia, Nigeria,
North Korea, Sierra Leone, Somalia, and the Sudan.
The USAID disaster assistance program is ongoing, although the
extent of future assistance to relief for children is dependent
on the emergency needs that arise. Thus, specific plans and
prediction of future emergency assistance are impossible to make.
IV. Basic Education and Early Childhood Education Programs
USAID programs in basic education provide $95 million annually
aimed at children of primary school age, of which $75 million is
for children in Africa. Research supported by USAID has
established strong linkages between child health, nutrition and
capacity for learning in school. Basic education, in addition to
its powerful contribution to economic development and poverty
alleviation, is a necessary foundation for establishing the
virtuous cycle of smaller, healthier families, which are able to
care for and educate their own children. USAID's resources for
basic education have contributed to increasing access to primary
school and improved learning for millions of children who
otherwise would have no formal education.
A proportion of Basic Education funds support innovative programs
of early childhood development, which integrate the development
of health, nutrition, cognitive, emotional, and social capacity
5
among children under the age of five. USAID's resources provide
high quality technical assistance, training and research for
early childhood development programs in selected countries, and
support networks among international practitioners, researchers
and policy makers.
In FY 1996 USAID obligated $15.9 million on early childhood
development programs. These included programs in South Africa,
Ecuador, Peru, El Salvador, Egypt, and Cambodia. The largest
sustained effort has been in South Africa, where USAID has
provided support to early childhood development programs through
a series of grants to community based NGOs. Future activities
will focus on sustainability and improvement of services in
cooperation with the government of South Africa.
USAID also supports policy planning for early childhood in
Morocco, Mali, Bolivia, India, Indonesia and Jamaica; interactive
radio programs with early childhood programs in Bolivia and South
Africa; and early childhood projects in Guatemala, Romania and
Bosnia.
V. Planned Program Efforts in FY '98 and '99
The types of our child-intervention programs will not change in
1998 and 1999, but we continuously modify these programs based on
our experience in implementation. In the area of child survival
programs, for example, we (and other development organizations)
see a need to integrate the management of childhood illnesses as
a means of improving the longer-term sustainability of such
programs. USAID also promotes cost-effective preventive actions
in child survival programs at the community and facility level.
USAID will remain an active agent of change for improving the
lives of infants and young children.
VI. Possible Additional Efforts
The success of USAID's child survival programs in resource-poor
areas of the world has recently become of interest to health
officials who work with disadvantaged families in the United
States. USAID has begun an outreach activity called "Lessons
Without Borders," in which we identify lessons we have learned
internationally that are of direct application in the United
States. As a result of this program, health officials from
Baltimore have recently conducted a study tour of USAID-
supported child survival programs in Kenya and are introducing
lessons from these programs to their domestic health system.
Immunization coverage among infants and young children in
Baltimore have already increased significantly.
6
We believe this "outreach" effort can be expanded to work
collaboratively with more of our domestic agency colleagues in
sharing our international experience base. This outreach work
could be done with little or no increase in our annual budgets.
