National Service in Tennessee

More than 6,300 people of all ages and backgrounds are helping to

meet local needs, strengthen communities, and increase civic

engagement through national service in Tennessee. Serving at more

than 920 locations throughout the state, these citizens tutor and

mentor children, support veterans and military families, provide health

services, restore the environment, respond to disasters, increase

economic opportunity, and recruit and manage volunteers.

MEETING COMMUNITY NEEDS IN TENNESSEE Senior Corps:

contribute their time and talents in one of three Senior Corps

programs. Foster Grandparents serve one-on-one as tutors and

mentors to more than 8,400 young people who have special

needs. Senior Companions help more than 610 homebound

seniors and other adults maintain independence in their own

homes. RSVP volunteers conduct safety patrols, renovate homes,

protect the environment, tutor and mentor youth, respond to

natural disasters, and provide other services through more than

310 groups across Tennessee.

individuals the opportunity to provide intensive, results-driven service

to meet education, environmental, health, economic, and other

pressing needs in communities across Tennessee. Most AmeriCorps

grant funding goes to the Volunteer Tennessee, which in turn awards

grants to nonprofit groups to respond to local needs. Most of the

remainder of the grant funding is distributed by CNCS directly to

multi-state and national organizations through a competitive grants

process. Other individuals serve through AmeriCorps VISTA, whose

members help bring individuals and communities out of poverty by

serving full-time to fight illiteracy, improve health services, create

businesses, and increase housing opportunities, and AmeriCorps

NCCC (National Civilian Community Corps), a 10-month, full time

residential program for men and women between the ages of 18 and

24. In exchange for their service, AmeriCorps members earn an

education award that can be used to pay for college or to pay back

qualified student loans. Since 1994, more than 10,000 Tennessee

residents have served more than 20 million hours and have qualified

for Segal AmeriCorps Education Awards totaling more than

$31,310,000.

AmeriCorps: This year AmeriCorps will provide more than 1,100

More than 5,200 seniors in Tennessee

The Corporation for National and Community Service is a

federal agency that improves lives, strengthens communities,

and fosters civic engagement through service and

volunteering. CNCS annually engages more than five million

Americans in service to meet local needs through Senior

Corps, AmeriCorps, and national days of service; improves

communities through the Social Innovation Fund, and leads

President Obama's national call to service initiative, United

We Serve. To learn more visit NationalService.gov or Serve.gov

Social Innovation Fund: The Social Innovation Fund transforms

 This year, the Corporation for National and Community Service (CNCS)

will commit more than $15,360,000 to support Tennessee

communities through national service initiatives. CNCS invests in

cost-effective community solutions--working hand in hand with local

partners to improve lives, expand economic opportunity, and engage

citizens in solving problems in their communities. Serving in many of

the state's most impoverished communities, CNCS provides vital

support to schools, food banks, homeless shelters, community health

clinics, youth centers, veterans service facilities, and other nonprofit

and faith-based organizations at a time of growing demand for

services. Through a unique public-private partnership, this federal

investment will leverage an additional $4,430,000 in other resources

to strengthen community impact, build local support, and increase

return on taxpayer dollars.

lives and communities using limited federal investment as a

catalyst to grow the impact of nonprofits with evidence of strong

results. It harnesses the expertise of grantmaking intermediaries

to identify, evaluate and expand effective nonprofits and

engages funding partners to contribute nearly three dollars to

every one federal dollar invested. As the Social Innovation Fund

network grows programs that work in Tennessee, more people are

able to overcome their most pressing challenges in the areas of

economic opportunity, health, and youth development. The Social

Innovation Fund is investing $100,000 in expanding the impact

of 1 nonprofit in Tennessee.

used in any state to pay for college, graduate school, vocational training, or to pay back student loans. The education award total is included in total CNCS funding.

3 AmeriCorps National figures may include national programs headquartered in the state and/or operating sites of national programs that are headquartered in other states. Funding

reflects the estimated proportionate share of the national grant associated with operating sites in this report. Some national organizations do not report operating site data, or it

was not available at time of publishing, so figures may not reflect current conditions.

40 Knox County Community Action Committee AmeriCorps members improved 405 acres of public lands, engaged 2,095 students in

meaningful service-learning projects, and provided disaster preparedness training to 941 individuals. The program mobilized 4,303

volunteers in the completion of 12,836 hours of service to the community.

AmeriCorps NCCC team Delta 9 worked with the C.H. Nash Museum at Chucalissa and their community partners. The team reclaimed

hiking trails, cleaned an amphitheater, and learned how to process artifacts. The team organized a day of service and recruited volunteers

to assist in improving the homes of 20 senior citizens. Future days of service will be supported by a volunteer list created by the team.

Corps members received information from their sponsor on the role that museums play in continuing community education.

AmeriCorps NCCC

In 2013, the STAR Center's Building Together Intermediary VISTA Project provided 31 AmeriCorps VISTA members to serve at 24

organizations in five cities across Tennessee. These VISTAs generated $839,918 in cash and $223,186 in non-cash resources, and recruited

2,281 community volunteers to serve 5,093 new disadvantaged clients of all ages (including 75 veterans and military families).

Additionally, 848 new disadvantaged children and youth were served in educational afterschool and summer programs, 73 percent of who

improved their educational and behavioral outcomes in terms of literacy and math skills and social and emotional development. The project

placed 84 clients in jobs after receiving workforce development and job placement services, and 590 homebound or older adults reported

services helped them to continue to live at home.

AmeriCorps VISTA

The Metropolitan Nashville Public School System and the two school districts in Williamson County have determined that children are not

making adequate progress in the areas of reading, languages, arts, and math. RSVP volunteers who are serving through FiftyForward in

Nashville with the Friends Learning in Pairs program are working hard to change that by providing one-on-one tutoring for the most at-risk

students in grades K-4. During the 2011-2012 school year, 148 RSVP volunteers tutored 602 students in 25 elementary schools. Of the

students tutored in reading, 82 percent demonstrated an increase of half a grade level or met an educational benchmark. Of the students

tutored in math, 100 percent demonstrated an increase or met an educational benchmark.

Senior Corps

The Housing Fund has been awarded an initial subgrant of $130,000 by Social Innovation Fund intermediary NCB Capital Impact, which

they will match dollar-for-dollar with nonfederal funds. They will use the investment to build out a new “Our House” shared equity homeownership program which will include community outreach, homebuyer counseling, and building a pipeline of buyers. The program will

serve approximately 170 households over five years. Measurable outcomes include 1) increasing access to affordable homeownership for

low income and minority households; 2) increasing the number of low-income and minority households that retain housing and experience

stability; 3) advancing the economic outcomes of low-income and minority households; and 4) increasing and maintaining the number of

permanently affordable units in Metropolitan Nashville-Davidson County.
