AmeriCorps*National Civilian Community Corps (NCCC)
AGENCY: Corporation for National and Community Service.
ACTION: Notice of Availability for Collaboration.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The NCCC seeks collaboration in the performance of service
projects in the areas of education, the environment, public safety,
other unmet human needs, and disaster relief.
DATES: Proposals are accepted and reviewed on an ongoing basis.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION: See AmeriCorps*National Civilian Community
Corps' projects brochure on the World Wide Web at http://
www.nationalservice.org.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The National Civilian Community Corps is an
AmeriCorps program of the Corporation for National and Community
Service. NCCC engages 18-to 24-year-old men and women of diverse
social, economic, and educational backgrounds, in teams of
approximately 12 with a team leader, to conduct service projects across
the nation. Projects are typically six to eight weeks in duration; the
period of service for larger, more complex projects can be extended.
Eligibility: Private nonprofit organizations, governmental entities
at the Federal, state, and local levels, educational institutions,
community-based organizations, and Native American Tribal Councils are
eligible to submit proposals. Proposals are accepted, reviewed, and
approved with consideration for compelling need, geographical
distribution, availability of teams, and NCCC costs related to team
deployment. Priority is given to service projects in education, the
environment, public safety, other unmet human needs, and disaster
relief.
Cost: There is no charge for the services of an NCCC team or its
transportation; however, collaborating organizations are expected to
provide the necessary materials, equipment, and technical supervision
for projects, as well as food and lodging if the project is located 90
minutes or more from an NCCC campus. NCCC does not provide financial
grants of any kind in association with this program.
