FRANKFORT, Ky. (July 27, 2009) – The state is asking for feedback from the public on projects relating to its service programs.
The Kentucky Commission on Community Volunteerism and Service (KCCVS) is seeking statewide input this summer for its State Service Plan and for 2010-11 AmeriCorps grants.
Six regional forums are planned for the public to attend.
A federal mandate requires that KCCVS, part of the Cabinet for Health and Family Services, ask for input on community needs to include in its three-year State Service Plan.
AmeriCorps is a network of national service programs that engages more than 50,000 Americans each year in intensive service to meet critical needs in education, public safety, health and the environment. In Kentucky, AmeriCorps is administered by KCCVS.
KCCVS Executive Director Eileen Cackowski said the regional forums give KCCVS the necessary public contributions to compile the plan.
