The National Service Inclusion Project would like to
share resources and upcoming webinars from the disability field and national
service field. Please feel free to disseminate to your local networks.
1) National Service Knowledge Network
The National Service Knowledge Network is a one-stop shop
of a wide variety of resources that the Corporation for National and Community
(CNCS) has to offer. This website provides a space for national service staff,
members, partners, and CNCS grantees to share and review information related to
national service. The website includes a few key areas including the following:
veterans and military family discussion group, multimedia resources, and
conference materials plus much more. This site provides a forum for
participants, members, and disability coordinators to share inclusion materials
in the field, e.g., policy and procedures, reasonable accommodations policy and
member handbooks. To find out more please visit http://www.nationalserviceresources.org/.
2) Institute On Disability University of New Hampshire
The Annual Disability Statistics Compendium is a web-based tool that pools
disability statistics published by various federal agencies together in one
place. When agencies, nonprofits, and other organizations need to work on
matters that relate to disability, this compendium helps make the data easier
to find. To explore this informative website please visit http://disabilitycompendium.org/compendium-statistics.
