K-12 Learn-and-Serve Community Grant: PROGRAM ADMINSITRATION Proposed projects will allow youth an opportunity to explore the past, present and future of their neighborhoods while serving their communities. Applicants will be encouraged to develop service-learning programs that give youth an opportunity to canvass and map their own communities; research the histories of their neighborhoods; identify community assets and needs in order to develop service-learning projects; and find the people, organizations and systems that make their communities stronger such as city council members and various government offices. Successful applicants will describe experience in service-learning and clearly explain how the community service proposed will be tied to learning outcomes and will provide evidence of previous accomplishment in developing service, service-learning, or community partnerships to meet local needs. In order to ensure that youth receive the greatest possible benefit from service-learning activities, community service activities and service-learning/reflection must be planned carefully. Youth need opportunities to develop their leadership and civic skills. They also need structured time to reflect on their service in order to analyze it in its academic, historical and community context and internalize the lessons learned. PROGRAM ADMINISTRATION DC CNCS will administer Learn and Serve Community-Based funding through federal funds from the Corporation for National and Community Service. Therefore, District and federal rules and regulations apply. In addition to providing grant funding, DC CNCS provides oversight and support to applicants selected as programs. Oversight includes site visits, fiscal monitoring and reporting requirements, while support includes project coordinator trainings, meetings, and one-on-one technical assistance. AVAILABLE FUNDS The grant amount will vary by circumstance, need, and program model. DC CNCS has $240,000 available for funding and will award grants up to $20,000 to non-profits, community and faith-based organizations and to local units of government.
