education agencies, colleges and

universities, youth-serving

organizations, faith-based organizations,

state commissions on national and

community service; public and

nonprofit organizations, profit-making

businesses, labor unions, civic or

service clubs, or neighborhood

associations. Awarding organizations

will certify that an individual has

served at least 100 hours, over a year’s

period, in efforts designed to have a

significant impact on meeting the needs

of local communities. Individuals under

the age of 12 who perform outstanding

service may be eligible for recognition

even if they do not meet the minimum

requirement of 100 hours.

The types of service recognized could

include: activities connected with

service-learning courses or programs or

service requirements in a school district,

school, class, or institution of higher

education; volunteer work with

community or youth organizations;

service through churches, synagogues,

or other faith-based organizations;

involvement in service-oriented school

organizations; individual efforts to help

others and improve a local community;

and programs in which older young

people tutor, mentor, coach, or

otherwise serve younger people. The

broad-based nature of this program,

similar to the President’s Physical

Fitness Award program, is intended to

include the largest possible number of

students who make a substantial

commitment to service.

Each award winner will receive a

token of recognition (for example, a pin

and a certificate) from the President.

The award will involve no monetary

benefit to the awardee. Any nominal fee

set to cover the costs of production and

distribution of awards will be paid by

the local awarding organization or other

sources, not by the award winner. Any

fees will be subject to the approval of

the Corporation.

The award program may also include

additional recognition for some

awardees, such as attendance at

recognition events sponsored by the

Corporation, the selected organization

or organizations, other organizations

including the Points of Light

Foundation and, potentially, the White

House. Other levels of recognition for

service that goes substantially beyond

the 100-hour criterion may be

developed. Local communities will also

be encouraged to establish their own

recognition events or processes. The

Corporation will provide the names of

award winners to Governors, Mayors,

the media, and other individuals

interested in recognizing these

individuals.

Requirements of the Memorandum of

Agreement

The Corporation anticipates entering

into a Memorandum of Agreement with

the selected organization or

organizations by April 1, 1998, with an

expected project period between April

1, 1998 and September 30, 1999. It is

likely that the Memorandum of

Agreement will include an option to

renew on an annual basis for up to five

years, after which the Corporation may

conduct a new competition for an

organization to administer the program.

The organization or organizations

selected under this notice will: (1)

complete a final program design and

implementation plan for approval by the

Corporation; (2) publicize the program

to local communities, schools, colleges,

universities, and other educational

institutions, and to civic, non-profit,

youth-serving, and other interested

organizations throughout the country;

(3) distribute the awards to recipients;

(4) respond to inquiries from all parties

related to these awards; (5) manage the

program in a manner to assure it is selffinancing and sustainable; (6)

collaborate with other servicepromoting organizations to encourage

youth service throughout the country;

and (6) comply with reporting and other

requirements of the Memorandum of

Agreement.

Finances

The primary intent of the President’s

Student Service Awards is to promote

and improve citizen service by our

Nation’s youth. It is not intended to be

a profit-making activity. The selected

organization or collaboration of

organizations assumes full financial

responsibility for the program. This

includes award inventory, staffing, and

facilities.

The Memorandum of Agreement will

specify the fees or charges that may be

set in this program, including a

Corporation-approved ‘‘charge for

services’’ representing a fixed

percentage of the net difference between

the program’s total revenue and total

expenses. The amount of the ‘‘charge for

services’’ approved by the Corporation

will be determined based upon

compliance with the terms of the

Memorandum of Agreement and other

relevant considerations. Unless

otherwise approved by the Corporation,

any annual revenues in excess of costs

are to be used to support the next year’s

President’s Student Service Award

program.

The selected organization will

account for all costs and revenues

associated with the operation of the

program according to the standards

stated in the Memorandum of

Agreement. The selected organization’s

performance under the Memorandum of

Agreement will also be subject to

oversight review and evaluation,

including financial audit, by the

Corporation’s Chief Executive Officer,

Inspector General, or their designees.

The Corporation and its Inspector

General will have access to any

documents and records of the selected

organization that are deemed necessary

to carry out these oversight, evaluation,

or audit activities.

Selection Criteria

All eligible interested parties must

submit a proposal of no more than 30

pages, double-spaced. Selection will be

based on the following criteria, in

descending order of importance:

1. Experience of the organization or

organizations, and demonstrated

capacity, to administer a national

awards program of this size and

magnitude, including the ability to

disseminate information widely and

quickly. This includes the key

individuals who will carry out the

projects, and the facilities and

resources, including computer-based

telecommunication devices, available to

the organization or organizations. This

also includes the organization or

organizations’ capability to develop and

administer an annual budget and to

collect and manage funds.

2. Proposed plan for administering the

President’s Student Service Award

program, including financial aspects

such as defraying the costs of start-up,

award materials, promotion,

distribution, and program management.

3. Background concerning the

organization or organizations’ nonprofit

or public status, history, mission, size in

terms of budget and personnel, and

familiarity with national and

community service.
