The Corporation
for National and Community Service was created by the National and Community
Service Trust Act of 1993. Through several programs, the Corporation offers
Americans of all ages and backgrounds the opportunity to participate in
community-based service programs. These programs include AmeriCorps, VISTA, the
National Civilian Community Corps, Learn and Serve America, and the Senior
Volunteer Program. The Corporation also oversees those continuing activities
initiated by two predecessor agencies, the Commission for National and Community
Service and ACTION. Additional information on the Corporation's programs is
available at the CNCS home page.
The 1993 Act also
established the CNCS Office of Inspector General. The OIG conducts and supervises
independent and objective audits and investigations of CNCS programs and
operations. Based on the results of these audits, reviews, and investigations,
the OIG recommends policies to promote economy and efficiency and prevent and
detect fraud and abuse in the Corporation's programs and operations.
