Corporation for National and Community Service (CNCS)

The corporation for National and Community Service (CNCS) continues to be a major partner. In FY2007, we received a $154,000 grant from CNCS to support the revamping of our volunteer management system. Four councils will receive sub-grants to pilot the Single Entry System for volunteers. In 2000, we received a grant of $5 million to fund a comprehensive violence intervention initiative called P.A.V.E. the Way (Project Anti-Violence Education). Funding enabled our councils to implement a variety of anti-violence projects across the country for thousands of girls. Projects focused on: conflict resolution training; inter-cultural understanding; anti-bullying campaigns; community service; and the arts.
