The Corporation for National and
Community Service (the Corporation) supports community service
initiatives through its programs and special initiatives. These
include initiatives such as the 9/11 Day of Service, the Martin
Luther King Day of Service, AmeriCorps Week, Senior Corps Week and
others. It is the overarching goal of the Corporation to increase
community service in the United States and these initiatives are a
resource to introduce many people to community service projects. In
order to gauge our success, to report our outcomes, to engage media
effectively, and to deploy resources efficiently it is important
for us to be aware of projects taking place as part of these
initiatives. We also engage members of Congress and other
government officials in local service projects. Projects
voluntarily inform us of their projects. This information is
critical to the Corporation and particularly to the Office of
Public Affairs for the successful completion of their mission. The
information will be utilized by the Offices of Public Affairs and
Corporate Relations primarily to monitor, summarize and report on
projects to various internal offices as well as for media, press
and other external inquiries. The information will not be listed
publicly.
