Corporation for National and Community Service

The Corporation's mission is to provide opportunities for Americans of all
ages and backgrounds to engage in service that addresses the nation's
educational, public safety, environmental, and other human needs to achieve
direct and demonstrable results and to encourage all Americans to engage in
such service. In doing so, the Corporation will foster civic responsibility,
strengthen the ties that bind us together as a people, and provide educational
opportunity for those who make a substantial commitment to service.



Notre Dame Mission Volunteers

 NOTRE DAME MISSION VOLUNTEERS (Notre Dame-AmeriCorps)
creates holistic educational programs for at risk children and adults in
economically disadvantaged communities.  We target children in head start
and school settings as well as adults who are high school dropouts in need of
GED, literacy, or parenting skills.  Our volunteers are recruited from the local
communities and nationally from college campuses.  To further our goals we
develop service partnerships with groups and individuals in the public and
private sectors.
We are committed to helping people help themselves. Our goal is to promote
and encourage education, community empowerment, leadership development,
and multicultural harmony, in hopes of producing greater unity, less violence,
and better-informed citizens in our communities.
