CORPORATION FOR NATIONAL AND COMMUNITY SERVICE

Flagship Television Stations

AGENCY: Corporation for National and Community Service.

ACTION: Notice.


SUMMARY: The Corporation for National and Community Service
(the Corporation) is announcing that it is seeking flagship
television stations to assist AmeriCorps programs with recruitment
and community awareness.

ADDRESSES: Responses to this notice should be mailed to the
Office of Public Affairs, 9th Floor, 1100 Vermont Avenue NW.,
Washington, DC. 20525.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:


The Office of Public Affairs at (202) 606-5000, ext. 262.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Corporation is a new government
corporation that encompasses the work and staff of two previously
existing federal agencies, the Commission on National and Community
Service and ACTION. The Corporation's mission is to engage Americans
of all ages and backgrounds in community-based service. This
service will address the nation's education, public safety,
human, and environmental needs to achieve direct and demonstrable
results. In doing so, the Corporation will foster civic responsibility,
strengthen the ties that bind us together as a people, and provide
education opportunity for those who make a substantial commitment
to service.

   The Corporation is establishing a new national service initiative
called AmeriCorps that includes a wide variety of programs operated
by grantees which will be local and national non-profits, state
and local government agencies, Indian tribes and territories.
The Corporation will also support service-learning initiatives
for elementary and secondary schools and institutions of higher
education called Learn and Serve America and operate the senior
volunteers programs previously supported by ACTION. Some of
the national service programs will be operating this summer,
and most of the others will be operational by this fall.

   The Corporation is striving to build partnerships between
AmeriCorps programs and television stations in order to promote
national service. Through this partnership, television stations
will help further national service by assisting AmeriCorps programs
with community awareness and recruitment and educating the American
public about the impact of national service via public service
announcements and an educational documentary. To achieve this
end, the Corporation requests that television stations nationwide
volunteer to serve as flagship television stations to help promote
AmeriCorps programs and national service.

   All interested television stations should contact Wendy Grassi
at (202) 606-5000 extension 262. Ms. Grassi will provide further
information about existing AmeriCorps programs and how to become
a flagship television station for AmeriCorps programs.

   Dated: August 16, 1994.

Terry Russell,
General Counsel, Corporation for National Service.
