National Service Budget Update |
|
|
I want to share two important developments on national service funding. First, President Obama has signed the Consolidated Appropriations Act, marking the final step in determining our Fiscal 2010 budget. This law provides $1.149 billion for the Corporation for National Service and its programs, fully funding the President’s request. Second, last night, the House of Representatives passed the Jobs for Main Street Act of 2010. The legislation, as posted on the House Appropriations Committee website, includes $200 million to support up to 25,000 AmeriCorps member positions and corresponding Segal AmeriCorps Education Awards.

Momentum is Building for the 2010 Martin Luther King Jr. Day of Service |
|
|
Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. once said “Life’s most urgent and persistent question is: What are you doing for others?” He devoted his life to advancing equality, social justice, and opportunity for all and taught us that everyone has a role to play in making America what it ought to be. |

Senate Passes National Service Budget |
|
|
A few minutes ago, the Senate passed the FY 2010 Consolidated Appropriations Act, sending the bill to the President for his signature. The measure includes $1.149 billion for the Corporation for National and Community Service and its programs, the highest funding level in the Corporation’s history. This budget is a strong vote of confidence in the value of national service as a critical tool for solving our nation's toughest challenges, and will enable us to strengthen and expand existing programs and invest in key initiatives authorized by the Edward M. Kennedy Serve America Act.
