What is NCLR’s connection with CNCS?
The National Council of La Raza is funded by the Corporation for National and Community Service as an AmeriCorps*National Direct. NCLR’s AmeriCorps*National Direct operates in seven states and provides training, technical assistance, and support to sites in the implementation of the AmeriCorps project. Through a wide range of communication efforts, NCLR links sites to ensure accordance with NCLR’s vision and compliance with AmeriCorps provisions. NCLR’s system of regular monthly program director calls, and daily and weekly emails, provide sites information, news, initiatives, and approaches from the Corporation. A system of on-site visits, phone calls, and mini-desk audits are used to ensure compliance with NCLR’s established program framework.
