awards, including one $25,000 and four $10,000 prizes for the causes that garner
the most unique daily donations over the 30 days of the Challenge.
In addition,
a $1,500 daily prize will be added for the last seven days of the Challenge.
Thus far, over one million dollars and 50,000 donations have been raised

Best to you,
The Office of Corporate Relations
Corporation for National and Community
Service
Learn and Serve America
Friends of Service-Learning,
Subject to the availability of appropriations for fiscal year
2010, the Corporation for National and Community Service announces the
anticipated availability of approximately $1 million for Summer of Service
grants to support collaborative efforts to implement community-based
service-learnin...g projects during the summer months.
Programs will engage middle
school students (students who will be enrolled in grades 6 through 9 in the
school year following the end of the summer) in community-based service-learning
projects that are intensive, structured, supervised, and designed to produce
identifiable improvements to the community.
This opportunity should provide
youth, particularly those from disadvantaged circumstances, with
service-learning experiences that will motivate them to become more civically
engaged and aspire to obtain higher education. Program participants must
complete at least 100 hours of service within the summer program.
For this
competition, service activities should address environmental and/or disaster
preparedness issues relevant to the community served.
Applications are due on December 10, 2009.
For more information and
application guidance, go to the Learn and Serve America website: http://www.learnandserve.gov/for_organiz
