Learn and Serve America is a program of the Corporation for National and Community Service, an independent federal agency created to connect Americans of all ages and backgrounds with opportunities to give back to their communities and their nation.

MLK Jr. Day of Service
In 1994 Congress passed the King Holiday and Service Act, designating the King Holiday as a national day of volunteer service. Instead of a day off from work or school, Congress asked Americans of all backgrounds and ages to celebrate Dr. King’s legacy by turning community concerns into citizen action. The King Day of Service brings together people who might not ordinarily meet, breaks down barriers that have divided us in the past, leads to better understanding and ongoing relationships, and is an opportunity to recruit new volunteers for your ongoing work.

Drawing on the needs and experience of Learn and Serve grantees and other federal programs, the Corporation for National and Community Service has identified key competencies that characterize effective grants management, provides grantees with descriptions of those competencies and offers grantees ways to identify their own strengths and opportunities for improvement.
