The Corporation for National and Community Service (CNCS) and national service programs like AmeriCorps and Senior Corps want to help districts and schools -- working together with superintendents and principals, academic achievement, student attendance, and on-time graduation rates can be improved. With federal funding from CNCS, schools across the country are using this proven source of human capital to help students succeed in school and in life. This toolkit aims to help superintendents, principals, and other education stakeholders determine the best ways to leverage national service resources in their schools. This toolkit will help these professionals: (1) Determine their needs: Identify how national service resources can help meet their school's needs; (2) Select a National Service Program: Match their needs to an AmeriCorps and/or Senior Corps program; and (3) Find a partnership or apply directly: Apply for CNCS resources or partner with nonprofit organizations, institutions of higher education, city agencies, or mayors' offices.
