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 sothat 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?

Dated: July 8, 2013. Marlene Zakai, Director of Strategic Initiatives.
