Days-of-Service Event Registration Continues
AmeriCorps is proposing to renew the Days of Service Project Collection Tool so organizers can keep registering volunteer events tied to Martin Luther King, Jr. Service Day, September 11th Day of Service, and other service events. The agency says the tool helps promote Days of Service and assess AmeriCorps' initiative impacts. Comments on the renewal are due by March 18, 2025 and the current application expires March 31, 2025.
Time Burden: 100,000 Responses, 17,000 Hours
AmeriCorps estimates the Days of Service Project Collection Tool will generate about 100,000 annual responses and a total of 17,000 annual burden hours from respondents. That represents roughly 10 minutes per response on average and is the paperwork time respondents may need to spend each year.
Submission Is Voluntary, Not Used For Funding
AmeriCorps states that providing information to the Days of Service Project Collection Tool is purely voluntary and that the information will not be used for any grant or funding support. This means submitting information does not affect grant or funding decisions.
