8932 Federal Register / Vol. 62, No. 39 / Thursday, February 27, 1997 / Notices

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The

Corporation for National Service is a

federal government corporation that

engages Americans of all ages and

backgrounds in community-based

service. This service addresses the

nation’s educational, public safety,

environmental, and other human needs

to achieve direct and demonstrable

results. In supporting national service

programs, the Corporation fosters civic

responsibility, strengthens the ties that

bind us together as a people, and

provides educational opportunity for

those who make a substantial

commitment to service. The Corporation

supports several types of national

service, including: AmeriCorps*State/

National, AmeriCorps*VISTA,

AmeriCorps*National Civilian

Community Corps; Learn and Serve

America (K–12 and Higher Education);

and the National Senior Service Corps

(Retired Senior Volunteer Program,

Foster Grandparent Program, Senior

Companion Program).

The Corporation provides training

and technical assistance to national

service programs in a variety of areas

and uses the Presidio Leadership Center

(PLC) for leadership training. The PLC

currently provides an executive-level

training program (the National Service

Executive program) open to leaders of

Corporation-funded programs by

application only. The purpose of this

notice is to make available the

leadership training resources of the PLC

to more national service programs by

offering the opportunity for a limited

number of programs to receive

customized training at the PLC. The PLC

is also prepared to accommodate

requests to provide customized training

at locations other than the PLC.

Portions of the National Service

Executive program curriculum—such as

facilitative leadership, meeting skills

management, situational leadership,

building collaborative teams, customer

service, managing change, and the use

of different assessment instruments as a

means of individual leadership

development—are most appropriate for

customized assistance. Training

sessions could range from one to five

days in length depending on the number

of topics included. Topics and length of

time necessary may need to be adjusted

based upon the objectives for the

training identified by the requestor.

The PLC will incur its fixed costs

associated with curriculum design and

trainers. However, the requester will be

responsible for trainer travel and

lodging costs (for training sessions

conducted at locations other than the

PLC) and the cost of any necessary

materials (i.e., handbooks, assessment

instruments, etc.). The Corporation

encourages requesters to involve

individuals who have already been

trained by the PLC (i.e., National

Service Executive Program alumni and

AmeriCorps Leaders) as a means of

reducing costs.

The PLC is committed to achieving

the greatest impact possible through its

limited resources, and therefore must

exercise substantial discretion in acting

on requests for this assistance. The PLC

is particularly interested in providing

training sessions for participants across

all program streams within a State or a

region, or for multiple similar programs

within a State or region.

Interested national service programs

should make their request in writing to

the PLC, describing: (1) The type of

training requested; (2) the type of

national service program or programs

operated by the requesting or cosponsoring organizations; (3) the

preferred time frame; (4) the ability to

cover necessary costs; and (5) the

expected number and background of

participants.

The Corporation will consider

requests for customized leadership

training as they are received, taking into

consideration the following factors:

1. Achieving balance across program

type and geographical area.

2. Number of participants.

3. Breadth of participating programs

and organizations.

4. Constraints on the PLC’s resources.

5. Non-duplication of training and

technical assistance otherwise available.

Dated: February 21, 1997.

Acting General Counsel.
