National Service in Tennessee

More than 5,300 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 880 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 3,500 young people who have special

needs. Senior Companions help more than 480 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 hunger and illiteracy, improve health

services, 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 12,000 Tennessee residents

have served more than 24 million hours and have qualified for Segal

AmeriCorps Education Awards totaling more than $42,910,000.

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

More than 4,100 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 engages millions of 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 volunteer initiatives across 

the nation. To learn more visit NationalService.gov or

Serve.gov or call 202-606-5000 or TTY 1-800-833-3722.

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

will commit more than $18,110,000 to support Tennessee

communities through national service and social innovation

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 publicprivate partnership, this federal investment will leverage an additional

$26,520,000 in other resources to strengthen community impact, build

local support, and increase return on taxpayer dollars. Nationwide,

CNCS, its grantees, and project sponsors generated more than $1.25

billion in outside resources from businesses, foundations, public

agencies, and other sources in FY 2015.

Social Innovation Fund: The Social Innovation Fund transforms

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 in expanding the impact of 2 nonprofits in

Tennessee.

State Commission

Volunteer Tennessee is the Governor’s commission on volunteerism and service. Its mission is to encourage volunteerism and community

service. The commission consists of a 25-member, bi-partisan volunteer citizen board appointed by the Governor and 11 State Government

ex-officio positions. Annually, Volunteer Tennessee provides more than $4.5 million in AmeriCorps and Volunteer Generation Fund grants to

local agencies throughout the state to engage volunteers to meet community needs in education, environment, public safety, human needs,

and homeland security. Almost 900 AmeriCorps State members help meet local needs, strengthen communities, and increase civic

engagement across Tennessee. Volunteer Tennessee launched the first-ever statewide volunteer recognition event in 2008. The Governor's

Volunteer Stars Awards honors many unsung heroes and inspires even more Tennesseans to get involved in their communities. To

strengthen the service infrastructure across the state, Volunteer Tennessee also hosts the annual Tennessee Conference on Volunteerism

and Service-Learning, which brings together experts and practitioners in the volunteer and service-learning fields.

Teach for America Memphis sees the power of its work in the stories of the thousands students that members have reached in Memphis

and Shelby County. For example, Hardy changed the way his students thought about themselves and their city by showing them how to

pursue their passions while they helped improve the world around them. Through his Let’s Innovate Through Education project, students

created businesses or nonprofits – from autism centers to music studios to healthy food awareness campaigns – and competed to design

the best budgets, marketing strategies, and five-year timelines. AmeriCorps members served more than 20,000 students from low-income

communities in over 100 district and charter schools, including Soulsville Charter School, where every student was accepted to a four-year

college last year. AmeriCorps Members serve at every grade level and teach every core subject, English as a Second Language, and special

education. They are a critical human capital pipeline for local schools to hire teachers in critical-need subjects. Without these AmeriCorps

members, 66 high-need classrooms in the state’s largest school district would not be led by highly-qualified teachers.

AmeriCorps State

Impact America Tennessee AmeriCorps members serve with FocusFirst, a high-tech vision care initiative that gives free vision screenings

and subsidized follow up care and to children from 6 months to 5 years old. Members check the children’s vision, then process the results

to determine which children are referred to Sight Savers America and the Southern College of Optometry for follow-up care. In the current

program year, FocusFirst has conducted 181 screenings sessions. These sessions served 5,397 children in the Memphis area; 648 of the

children (12 percent) were referred for follow-up care. AmeriCorps members have also spent more than 100 hours training for SaveFirst, a

free tax preparation program for Memphis families. They were certified at the advanced IRS level and trained to be site coordinators at four

Memphis-area tax sites. They recruited college volunteers from Rhodes College, Christian Bothers University, and the University of

Memphis, then gave the volunteers 8 hours training and a 3-hour exam. The members have recruited and trained more than 90 volunteers.

SaveFirst tax sites opened on Martin Luther King Jr. Day.

The Southeast Conservation Corps operates with a conservation-service philosophy in an area that is under represented with conservation

opportunities. AmeriCorps members serving with the Southeast Conservation Corps improved 16.5 miles of trail and 29 acres in its first

year operating out of Chattanooga. The program tripled the number of AmeriCorps members serving on Tennessee’s federal, county, and

nonprofit lands. This growth led to the engagement of more youth in meaningful conservation service to meet its partner’s great need to

address conservation issues. Some of the growth in the number of AmeriCorps members was possible thanks to a 21CSC initiative to

engage more young people in service on public land. Six AmeriCorps members were supported by a Chattanooga foundation invested in

youth engagement, the environment, and public service. In the fall of 2015, three members graduated to Assistant Crew Leader positions.

All of these Crew Leaders are from the local area and are dedicated to the success of their mission. The majority had no prior conservation

corps experience or knowledge of before beginning their service.

AmeriCorps National

Youth Volunteer Corps has four AmeriCorps members who serve Nashville. Last year, those members engaged 963 youth, including 48

disadvantaged youth, in 3,755 hours of service. The youth volunteers participated in 342 projects for 26 community agencies, including The

Ronald McDonald House, Sole Hope, Second Harvest Food Bank, and the Cumberland River Project.

The University of the South AmeriCorps VISTA Program, in partnership with South Cumberland Plateau Community Fund, lead a collaborate

effort with the University’s Dining Service to become a sponsoring agency under the USDA 2015 Summer Food Service Program to bring

summer meals to three-county area in the heart of South Central Appalachia. Grundy County, a distressed county where 30.6 percent of

residents live in poverty including 45 percent of its children, was the main partner area for the program. AmeriCorps VISTA Member Kelly

Farina led the project and signed up 24 partner sites. Through the effort, more than 900 children and teens participated and 8,089 meals

were served. This program also worked with more than 60 community volunteers who helped with meal delivery, site supervision, and

program publicity. In addition, the AmeriCorps VISTA Member worked with partner sites to develop educational materials regarding

nutrition, recycling, home safety, and fitness games that volunteers used as activities to engage students during their time at the sites.

AmeriCorps VISTA

The AmeriCorps VISTA project at Urban Green Lab (UGL) builds systems and capacity teach participants practical sustainable living skills

which both enhance STEM education through hands on activities and contribute to self-sufficiency and sound financial management

practices among clients. By participating in UGL’s mobile lab educational programs, students learn tangible ways to live more sustainably

and act on them. Urban Green Lab sponsored three AmeriCorps VISTA members who worked on program evaluation, resource development,

and community engagement. In the first five months of service, members recruited 68 volunteers, managed 84 volunteers, and leveraged a

combined total of $42,659 in cash and in-kind resources. In September 2015, the Program Evaluation and Development VISTAs wrote and

received a grant award of $91,000 over two years from the Environmental Protection Agency to support the UGL Mobile Lab to launch in

Metro Nashville Public Schools during the spring of 2016.

AmeriCorps NCCC

The mission of Pickett CCC Memorial is to preserve a classic, rustic park environment for public use and enjoyment, and to preserve the

park’s origins and contributions from the Civilian Conservation Corps. During the summer and fall of 2014, an AmeriCorps NCCC team was

requested to support these efforts by completing the first phase of development on a new trail system, the Pogue Creek Trail. Some portions

of the designated trail area were steep and uneven, requiring the creation of 18 stone steps, 62 feet of boardwalk, and even a handchiseled walkway through a rocky bluff. Other areas required different kinds of troubleshooting, from obstacle removal with a chainsaw or

pickaxe, to the fortification of a creek that intersected with the trail. Additionally, the team restored three structures on the park grounds,

removed 900 pounds of fallen trees from the park’s lake, beautified three acres of the park’s visitor area, built 12 hand-crafted signs, and

constructed 75 feet of fencing around a habitat of the protected Cumberland Sand Wort. AmeriCorps NCCC member’s service on this project

will help provide area residents and visitors with an increased capacity to experience the great outdoors.

The mission of the City of Memphis is to create a safe and vibrant place for people to live, learn, work, and play. The goal is to create

thriving communities through people, services, programs, parks, and facilities. During the spring of 2015, an AmeriCorps NCCC team

supported the city’s efforts by preparing public pools for the season and building community gardens. The team collectively cleaned 13

pools and pool houses, removing a total of 3,200 pounds of vegetation. Additionally, the team was able to build and plant four community

gardens at different community centers throughout Memphis. Three of the gardens consisted of raised beds and the other was an inground garden. Additionally, AmeriCorps NCCC members also helped with the cleaning of 33 pavilions at various parks throughout

Memphis. The team power-washed the tables at each pavilion and removed graffiti when present.

The mission of First Tennessee Human Resource Agency is to improve the quality of life for the people of Northeast Tennessee through

effective delivery of social services. The agency sponsors 74 Foster Grandparents in rural Greene County. These senior volunteers, age 55

and older, served more than 72,000 hours in a six month period. Foster Grandparents in Greene County served 124 low-income or special

needs children, with 108 of those children achieving gains in social or emotional development. Additionally, 182 children completed a

supported education program with 155 of those students reporting improved academic performance in literacy or math. This program

celebrated its 45th anniversary at a recognition event honor the Foster Grandparent volunteers in April 2015. At the recognition, there were

six volunteers age 85 or older, with the two oldest being age 92. Both those volunteers credit the Foster Grandparent Program with helping

them maintain an active lifestyle and having a reason “to get up in the mornings.”

FiftyForward’s RSVP program supports at-risk youth, frail seniors, and veterans across Davidson and Williamson counties. In 2015,

FiftyForward’s 531 RSVP volunteers supported 2,500 U.S. armed forces members, 1,200 service family members, and 500 veterans. The

RSVP signature program is Friends Learning in Pairs, an intergenerational volunteer tutoring program. Through weekly one-on-one tutoring

sessions throughout the school year, RSVP volunteers provide the individual support, encouragement and friendship struggling young

students need in order to succeed. During the 2014-15 school year, 124 RSVP volunteers provided one-on-one academic assistance to 446

elementary school students, contributing a total of 4,556 service hours. Over the program’s 21-year history, 82% of participants met

academic benchmarks.

Senior Corps RSVP

The Van Buren Community Services Development Board Senior Companion Program provides resources that empower caregivers to reclaim

a little piece of themselves and restore balance to their lives and relationships. The Senior Companion Program addresses the needs of

caregivers and the people that they care for by increasing social support for older adults, people with disabilities, and their caregivers.

Their mission advances the CNCS focus on healthy futures through tracking the number of individuals receiving independent living services

and number of individuals with increased social support as a results of the Senior Companion volunteers. The program empowers its

volunteers, family caregivers, and clients through pre- and in-service trainings, which address the need for good nutrition, preparation of

healthy meals, diabetic care, exercise, and the effects of over the counter medications. In 2015, 47 Senior Companion volunteers served 52

clients and 13 care providers, providing 49,076 hours of respite for clients and their families in need of relief services.

The Social Innovation Fund (SIF) transforms lives by using evidence to find what works and make it work for more people. The SIF Classic

and SIF Pay for Success programs harness the expertise of grant-making intermediaries to identify, evaluate and expand effective

nonprofits serving low-income communities across America. The SIF Pay for Success programs in the state are being led by the Green and

Healthy Homes Initiative and working to address healthy living through asthma-related projects. The Social Innovation Fund is investing in

expanding the impact of 2 nonprofits in Tennessee.

Social Innovation Fund

To increase volunteer recruitment and expand the use of volunteers to address education challenges in Tennessee, Volunteer Tennessee has

collaborated with Volunteer Centers across the state to form the Tennessee Volunteer Generation Fund Coalition. Hands On Nashville, the

United Way of Greater Chattanooga, the United Way of Greater Knoxville, the United Way of Williamson County, and Volunteer Tennessee

make up the coalition. Each of these partners plays a role in implementing the volunteer management grant with Volunteer Tennessee

serving as the lead agency. The partners in the coalition have a great deal of experience in promoting service. With the combined effort of

the members of the coalition, Volunteer Tennessee will continue to build and improve the infrastructure to support the engagement of

citizens to participate in structured service activities. Each partner is committed to improving volunteer recruitment and expanding the use

of volunteers in Tennessee schools and afterschool settings.

Memphis Habitat was founded in 1983 by a group of concerned

individuals who were aware of the international organization and saw

the critical need for decent, affordable housing in the city of Memphis.

Since its inception, the organization has built more than 400 homes in

Greater Memphis.

Green & Healthy Homes Initiative

The Tennessee Commission on Children and Youth (TCCY) is interested

in three pre-natal, infant, and early childhood home visiting programs

– NFP, Health Families America, and PAT. By implementing these

home visiting programs, Tennessee hopes to see improved maternal

and newborn health, increased school readiness, a decrease in reports

of domestic violence, and a decrease in substantiated cases of child

abuse and neglect. The target population for the intervention is

families living in poverty with children ages 0-5.
