FY 2015 President’s Budget in February 

2014. After the February 2014 

publication of a strategic plan, agencies

Strategic Plan will reflect the broad, 

long term outcomes that the CNCS

mission.

Description of Requested Input 

CNCS is inviting formal input from 

the public concerning the update of the 

current CNCS Strategic Plan. The goal of 

the Strategic Plan update is to 

accurately reflect CNCS’s strategic and 

programmatic priorities for the next 4 

years. 

CNCS’ current Strategic Plan [http:// 

www.nationalservice.gov/about/ 

strategic-plan] leverages the strength of 

grantees, participants, programs, state 

service commissions and the American 

public to build a network of programs 

that offer effective solutions in the six 

priority areas: 

• Disaster Services 

• Economic Opportunity 

• Education 

• Environmental Stewardship 

• Healthy Futures 

• Veterans and Military Families 

We will produce these results by 

investing in effective local initiatives, 

engaging more Americans in service, 

supporting evidence-based programs, 

and leveraging public-private 

partnerships. In addition to these 

priority focus areas, CNCS has four 

strategic goals, with accompanying 

priority measures: 

Goal 1: Increase the impact of 

national service on community needs in 

communities served by CNCS-supported 

programs. 

Goal 2: Strengthen national service so 

that participants engaged in CNCSsupported programs consistently find 

satisfaction, meaning and opportunity. 

Goal 3: Maximize the value we add to 

grantees, partners and participants. 

Goal 4: Fortify management 

operations and sustain a capable, 

responsive and accountable 

organization. 

In updating its Strategic Plan, CNCS 

is seeking to be even more effective in 

achieving Goals 1–4 and its impact in 

the six priority focus areas. Specifically, 

CNCS is requesting comments in the 

following areas: 

• How might the Strategic Plan be 

updated to reflect current community 

priorities? 

• What is working well and should be 

further enhanced? 

• What has shown promise and 

should have a more prominent place in 

the updated plan? 

• What is less relevant in today’s 

environment, allowing resources to be 

focused elsewhere?
