Here are a bunch of programs that I see in the Congressional Research Service (an arm of the library of Congress) Summary of the GIVE Act, as shown on the GovTrack website:

Learn and Servie
AmeriCorps
National Civilian Community Corps (NCCC)
VISTA (Volunteers in Service to America)
National Senior Service Corps
ServeAmerica Fellowships program
Silver Scholarship Grant Program
Encore Fellowships program
National Service Reserve Corps
Social Innovation Fund grant program
Volunteer Generation Fund program
National Senior Volunteer Corps (Senior Corps) *
Retired and Senior Volunteer program (RSVP)
Foster Grandparent program
Senior Companion program
National Volunteer Antipoverty Programs
Literacy Challenge Grant programs

* I noticed that the word "Volunteer" was changed to "Service" in an amendment designated in Title II, Subtitle B, Section 2201: new name National Senior Service Corps (NSSC). This is a hint to me that maybe volunteer programs are changing to mandatory programs with the word "service" designating mandatory.
