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

Help put social good on the map at SXSW Interactive
The SXSW panel picker went live and is jam packed with ideas that will keep your wheels spinning. 2,219 panels have been proposed for the interactive portion alone.
