SUMMARY AS OF:
3/9/2009–Introduced.
Generations Invigorating Volunteerism and Education Act or the GIVE Act - Amends the National and Community Service Act of 1990 (NSCA) and the Domestic Volunteer Service Act of 1973 (DVSA) to revise the programs under such Acts and reauthorize appropriations for such programs through FY2014.
Revises under NSCA: (1) the School-Based and Community-Based Service-Learning programs and Higher Education Innovative Programs for Community Service (Learn and Serve programs); (2) National Service Trust programs (AmeriCorps); (3) the National Civilian Community Corps (NCCC); and (4) the Investment for Quality and Innovation program.
Eliminates the current Community-Based Learn and Serve programs.
Establishes two new Learn and Serve programs: (1) Campuses of Service, which provides funds to institutions of higher education to develop or disseminate exemplary service-learning programs that assist their students’ pursuit of public service careers; and (2) Innovative Service-Learning Programs and Research, which funds community service-learning opportunities for elementary and secondary, college, and graduate students as well as research into service-learning.
Includes among eligible AmeriCorps programs: (1) an Education Corps to address unmet educational needs; (2) a Healthy Futures Corps to address unmet health needs; (3) a Clean Energy Corps to address unmet environmental needs; and (4) a Veterans Corps to address the unmet needs of veterans and their families.
Creates AmeriCorps Opportunity Corps programs that include certain existing programs and new programs to: (1) increase community access to technology; (2) engage citizens in public safety, health, and emergency preparedness services; (3) mentor youth; (4) reduce recidivism by re-engaging court-involved youth; and (5) support the needs of veterans or active duty service members and their families.
Establishes an Education Awards Only program authorizing the Corporation for National and Community Service (Corporation) to provide fixed-amount grants to programs that have approved national service positions, but no AmeriCorps funding.
Sets the National Service educational awards for full-time AmeriCorps, NCCC, and Volunteers in Service to America (VISTA) participants at a level equal to the maximum available Pell Grant available to students under the Higher Education Act of 1965.
Includes among needs to be met under the NCCC program, disaster relief, infrastructure improvement, environmental and energy conservation, and urban and rural development.
Requires states to develop comprehensive plans for volunteer and paid service by Baby Boomers and older adults.
Directs the Corporation to plan pilot programs to: (1) better target and serve displaced workers; and (2) establish a centralized electronic citizenship verification system which would allow the Corporation to share employment eligibility information with the Department of Education.
Authorizes the Corporation to treat September 11th annually as a National Day of Service and Remembrance.
Establishes within the Investment for Quality and Innovation program: (1) a ServeAmerica Fellowships program providing fellowships to individuals chosen by states to participate in service projects addressing certain areas of national need; (2) a Silver Scholarship Grant Program providing scholarships to individuals age 55 or older who complete at least 500 hours of service in a year in an area of national need; and (3) an Encore Fellowships program providing one-year fellowships to individuals age 55 or older who serve in areas of national need and receive training to transition to public service employment. Makes ServeAmerica fellows eligible for national service educational awards.
Authorizes the Corporation to provide grants to innovative and model service programs, including those for disadvantaged youth, youth under age 17, and potential recidivists.
Eliminates federal funding for the Points of Light Foundation.
Revises under DVSA: (1) the VISTA program; and (2) the Senior Corps, including the Retired and Senior Volunteer program (RSVP), the Foster Grandparent program, and the Senior Companion program.

Eliminates the VISTA Literacy Corps, University Year for VISTA, and Literacy Challenge Grant programs.
Raises the minimum and maximum stipend provided to VISTA participants.
Prioritizes RSVP projects in specified areas.
Makes anyone 55 years of age or older eligible as Senior Corps volunteers.
Provides, under the Senior Corps demonstration program, incentive matching grants to Senior Corps programs that exceed specified performance measures, enroll most of their volunteers in outcome-based service programs, and increase their enrollment of Baby Boomer volunteers.
Expresses the sense of the Congress that the number of AmeriCorps, VISTA, and NCCC participants should reach 250,000 by 2014.
Congressional Commission on Civic Service Act - Establishes a Congressional Commission on Civic Service to provide recommendations to Congress on improving opportunities for individuals to volunteer or perform national service.
Apparently, Obama moonlights as one Senator McCarthy (and I also suspect him of being every other Democrat ever in the history of existence, that sly dog YES I'M ON TO YOU ANDREW JACKSON IF THAT IS YOUR REAL NAME WHICH IT ISN'T OBAMA).
From what else I can find, people are taking this Act and combining it with a speech he made at the University of Colorado where he said he wanted to ""set a goal for all American middle and high school students to perform 50 hours of service a year, and for all college students to perform 100 hours of service a year." to mean OMG FORCED VOLUNTEERISM which is about a big a reach from all this to Hilter Youth, which plenty of other people are also making.
GHETTO LIBERAL AGENDA EDIT: While I'm at it, here are some choice replies to the aforeposted (look Ma, I done did invented me a word) that I'm sure at least
some of you are going to dance around posting yourselves.
Thanks to Steve for understanding the impact of this bill. No child will be exempt, not even kids whose parents bear the financial burder to send them to parochial schools so they can have a better education.
The bill provides for teacher, supervisor and “personnel” from “community-based” agencies to “recruite, utilize and manage” the participants. In plain English, this simply means that those “community-based” agencies are ACORN, LaRaza, LULAC and others, who will be in the schools indoctrinating our children while they are getting paid to do the indoctrination. Project Vote, will be able to recruite kids from “elementary and secondary” schools to get out the vote (there is no law that says kids can’t recruite voters).
The agency that will be in control of this program, under the Secretary of Education (remember who he is, friends, another Chicago insider that worked with the Ayers/Obama Annenburg scam) is called “the Corporation.”
And if you think you can undo the damage done to your child during the school year, don’t kid yourself. The bill provides for summer “camps” and uniforms.
And the best part? You get to pay for it. The program, implimented and enforced by “the Corporation” will require a 20% contribution from the school district the first year, 50% each year after.
The entire bill reads like something from Antonio Gramsci, the early 20th century communist who advised that if children are not taught the ways of Marxism by age 12, they will be lost to the movement. Both Stalin, and Hitler, were fans of Gramsci.
Please, read the bill. And understand the catch phrases:
service-learning = forced volunteerism
the Corporation = the federal government
qualified organizations (and individuals) who have experience in service-learning = every radical left wing group you can possibly think of.
And remember this; when this was done in Nazi Germany, children were taught to even report to the SS their parents who spoke out against the Nazi goverment.
Wardmama, the original bill is H.R. 1388.
Rusty, it’s not you Obama’s coming after, it’s our children and grandchildren. Kids are not armed and can be taught that everything their parents believe is wrong.
“Requires states to develop comprehensive plans for volunteer and paid service by Baby Boomers and older adults.”
Oh really?
Well, they can KISS MY ASS!
I’ve got a “comprehensive” plan already…it’s called “armed and angry”.
This is absolutely crazy. I asked my husband if any of the obamatons came by and he said no but he was sitting there cleaning his gun all day waiting for them on Saturday.
And in reply to that:
Close to what I’m going to do. Attempt to waste as much of their time as possible in discussions of logic about how O.B.A.M.A. is going to succeed in dragging us all into full socialism, and then a small turn into the logical step, and their grand scheme, a communist haven. Then, when there seems to be no possible hope of finding one ounce of logic or common sense inside the obamabot’s head, reach around behind the door and pull out my trusty AK and tell them to get off my property as you are now threatening my well being.
OH LAWDY
