2010 Summer of Service Grant
The Louisiana Serve Commission announces funding available for a Summer of Service 2010 Program from June 1 to August 10 for up to 500 6th -9th grade students. Eligible applicants include public schools and nonprofit organizations with experience working with youth. Programs will implement a community-based service-learning program for up to 500 disadvantaged youth who will provide their community with a minimum of 100 hours of direct service. In return for these service hours, each student will receive a $500 education award from the Corporation for National and Community Service. This is a short-term opportunity that will engage students in environmental/energy conservation projects that benefit their community while strengthening classroom skills. There is no match requirement for the grant.
Funding for this program is contingent upon the Louisiana Serve Commission being awarded Summer of Service 2010 grant funds from the Corporation for National and Community Service.
