Skilled Service in the Gulf: The Corporation for National and Community Service (the Corporation) announces the anticipated availability of up to $1 million. These funds will be awarded to one to three eligible organizations to create a new national model for involving skilled workers in service in areas affected by disasters. In 2005 when Katrina and Rita ravaged the Gulf states, first responders saved lives and government provided resources, but it was volunteers from the region and across America who returned hope and optimism to the stricken communities. Today these volunteers continue to drive the recovery in the Gulf. Nearly a half a million Americans have volunteered in the Gulf Coast, including more than 41,000 participants from National Service programs. But the work is far from done. This grant is designed to stimulate the particular kind of volunteering that the Gulf needs the most-volunteers who are skilled in the building and other trades-and to create a viable national model for skilled trades volunteering in rebuilding efforts after future disasters. The purpose of the Skilled Service in the Gulf initiative is to create a national model for disaster recovery by mobilizing skilled volunteers to meet the significant unmet needs in areas affected by the 2005 hurricanes. The goal of this initiative is to increase the number of skilled workers (particularly working and retired baby boomers) volunteering to participate in Gulf rebuilding efforts. We expect the successful strategy will include outreach to increase public awareness and facilitate recruitment, and mini-grants to support and manage skilled volunteers.
