‘Expand’ means to add new participants or benefits.
FR 91 – Federal Register, 1991, “Proposed Regulations, Federal Register, National and Community Service Grant Programs,” 56 FR 57404
The purpose of the program is to provide grants for the creation or expansion of full-time or summer youth service or conservation corps programs. Funds may be used to expand an existing program, but cannot be used to supplant existing funds for any program. The Commission interprets the term "expand" broadly to mean the addition of new participants, an increase in the number of hours or weeks during which the program operates, the involvement of an existing program in new types of service, or the improvement of an existing program consistent with the purposes and requirements of the Act. The Commission interprets the term "full-time" to mean a corps operating 30 or more hours per week for more than six months of the year.
