DRAFT: This resource has been specifically designed as a guide for program officers in State Commissions and program directors in National Direct parent organizations for use in administering the Corporation for National and Community Service (CNCS)’s AmeriCorps programs.
This manual was created “by the field, for the field,” drawing on a wide spectrum of expertise, including administrators in both large and small State Commissions, individuals with one year of experience in AmeriCorps program management as well as some who have been in the national service arena since the inception of AmeriCorps. Both State Commissions and National Direct parent organizations were extensively consulted in its development.
This manual does not supersede any of the requirements established by the terms, conditions, and provisions of an AmeriCorps grant or contract, or the standard federal requirements applicable to all federal grants. Likewise, the information contained in this resource manual does not include all the legal requirements of an AmeriCorps grant, nor does it constitute CNCS’ official definitive interpretation of the law, regulations, and policies related to AmeriCorps programs. Rather, it is intended as a resource guide to help State Commission program officers and National Direct parent organization program directors establish and maintain sound programs that operate in compliance with federal and state statutes, regulations, provisions, and policies.
Please Note: This is a draft document dated March, 2006. Some specifics are out of date, however, the general overview information is very useful for State Commission and National Direct staff who need to see the big picture.
