TITLE: Serve America workshop records
DATES: 1992-2015.
ARRANGEMENT: Chronological by date of workshop

DESCRIPTION: In 1992, the State of Utah began participation in the National Community Service Program of the Commission on National and Community Service, a federal entity. Under this program, funds are made available to local schools or school districts (public or private) to develop and implement community service programs. These programs are particularly to be aimed at students at-risk in the following categories:__drop-outs and out-of-school youth, economically and educationally disadvantaged, disabled, or homeless.

These records document workshops sponsored by the Utah State Office of Education (USOE) which provide for training of teachers. The front of the binder in which these records are maintained includes the Serve America committee files, series 12756. Following those records are the workshop files, which include a copy of an invitation to the particular program; an expenditure approval form (C-7) for the USOE funds expended to establish the program; preliminary warrant requests (C-14); reimbursement vouchers for the invited participants; hotel receipts; lists of people registered to attend; Service Learning Project plans which indicate the name of the teacher or contact person, school name and address, needs to be met through the service project, description of proposed project, the clientele to be served, and the beginning and ending dates of the project; correspondence from teachers concerning service projects; and, occasionally, letters from students who have participated in the service projects.
