National Service Resources and Training (NSRT)

Description

National Service Resources & Training (NSRT) consolidates ETR’s work funded by the federal Corporation for National and Community Service to assist the expanding work of AmeriCorps, Senior Corps, VISTA, and Learn and Serve America. These programs support the millions of volunteers of all ages working in thousands of organizations and educational settings across the country who embody the idea of creating a culture of service that is both values-based and results-oriented. NSRT is now managing and developing the services provided by ETR’s long-standing projects, the National Service Knowledge Network and the National Service-Learning Clearinghouse. Through a versatile and dedicated staff, we provide access to a wide variety of reference and referral library services, training and technical assistance, online learning and community development, effective practices databases, searchable resource databases, links to relevant websites, e-mail discussion lists and discussion forums, and online collaboration tools. We maintain the nation’s largest library of service-learning materials and resources and a diverse collection of resources to support non-profit management and capacity-building. We lead a national network of training and technical assistance providers and produce their materials through several major web-based electronic resource and learning centers. Our web products rely on high-end open source software and meet or exceed federal accessibility requirements. We are committed to continuous improvement of the search capability that enables users to find relevant and useful information quickly.

This project includes the following components:

• National Service-Learning Clearinghouse (NSLC)
• National Service Knowledge Network
