National Service in Colorado

More than 7,600 people of all ages and backgrounds are helping to

meet local needs, strengthen communities, and increase civic

engagement through national service in Colorado. Serving at more

than 970 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 COLORADO 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 2,800 young people who have special

needs. Senior Companions help more than 3,400 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

540 groups across Colorado.

individuals the opportunity to provide intensive, results-driven service

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

pressing needs in communities across Colorado. Most AmeriCorps

grant funding goes to the Serve Colorado , 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 31,000 Colorado

residents have served more than 28 million hours and have qualified

for Segal AmeriCorps Education Awards totaling more than

$70,390,000.

AmeriCorps: This year AmeriCorps will provide more than 2,600

More than 5,000 seniors in Colorado

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 $35,980,000 to support Colorado 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 $37,630,000 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.

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 Colorado, 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 more than $2,000,000 in expanding

the impact of 13 nonprofits in Colorado, selected and supported

by 1 intermediary.

State Commission

Serve Colorado, the Governor's Commission on Community Service, builds a culture of civic engagement across the state in partnership

with community-based organizations. The Commission guides the work of Serve Colorado’s three distinct programs: AmeriCorps Colorado,

managing the state’s national service programs; Colorado Reads, the state's early literacy initiative; and leading Days of Service and

Governor’s Service Awards to promote volunteerism. Housed in the Office of the Lieutenant Governor, Serve Colorado programs closely align

with statewide priorities such as increasing access to education and improving student outcomes. Serve Colorado administers 17

AmeriCorps State grants; with 14 programs engaging 1,100 AmeriCorps members to address community needs. Serve Colorado also

manages three planning grants, helping organizations explore how national service can be further used across the state. Programs directly

impact early literacy and education, job skill development, homelessness, substance abuse prevention and treatment, and environmental

sustainability.

Third grade literacy is proven to be one of the most important indicators of educational success, but sadly, 16,000 Colorado third graders

aren’t reading at grade level. Mile High United Way’s Colorado Reading Corps’ goal is to increase proficiency to 84 percent by 2020.

AmeriCorps members in the Colorado Reading Corps offer one-on-one, daily tutoring for kindergartners through third graders in Adams,

Arapahoe, Denver, and Jefferson Counties. The program is a proven cost-effective model that builds on twelve years of data and a close

partnership with the Minnesota Reading Corps. In 2015, more than 50 AmeriCorps members served in the Colorado Reading Corps and

improved the literacy and math skills of 1,200 students. By the end of the third year for this grant, it will have helped more than 5,000

students make significant progress in their reading proficiency and prepare them for further educational success.

AmeriCorps State

La Puente Home, the Southwest Rural Education Collaborative, serves Alamosa, Conejos, Costilla, Mineral, Rio Grande, Saguache,

Montezuma, La Plata, and Chaffee counties. Its AmeriCorps program combats rural poverty in the San Luis Valley - the world’s largest

alpine valley – which is bigger than Connecticut and has a population of approximately 46,000. In the past year, more than 16,000 people

– one in three residents of the valley – have used one of La Puente’s services. AmeriCorps members provide service that empowers people

to live independently and with dignity. In the last year, La Puente’s 22 AmeriCorps members helped 3,632 individuals with housing

placement, helped 1,301 people transition into housing, and recruited and managed 661 volunteers. Their service helped La Puente serve

12,000 people who used their food bank. The AmeriCorps members have truly become part of the community and embody La Puente's

motto, "See the need, meet the need."

City Year Denver AmeriCorps has 72 members who serve full-time at nine schools, helping more than 3,880 students at greatest risk of

dropping out. City Year AmeriCorps members work alongside teachers, using research-based tools to improve students’ attendance,

behavior, and performance in math and English. The members also lead afterschool programs and school-wide initiatives to improve

school culture. Thanks to the members’ service, 67 percent of students in grades 6 through 9 who had previously earned a D or worse in

English improved to a C or better and 86 percent of Denver teachers agree that City Year AmeriCorps members provide critical academic

support that helps students stay on track.

AmeriCorps National

AmeriCorps members with the Southwest Conservation Corps, which operates out of Durango and Salida, improved more than 875 miles of

trails and 2,283 acres. Corps members included 29 military veterans who were able to continue their service to the nation through

AmeriCorps. Corps members begin their service with a collaborative 8-week Crew Leader Training that builds a foundation for personal and

land development. An alumnus wrote while in the program, “The Corps tests your ability, challenges and teaches you to help restore your

community, helps you gain access to new and safe teachings. The Corps is a positive environment that focuses on teambuilding,

communication, and safe ways to learn new abilities. The Corps helped me gain access to my abilities and motivation toward my personal

goals.” The Southwest Conservation Corps empowers people to have a positive impact on their lives, their communities, and the

environment.

Two Youth Mental Health First Aid (YMHFA) Corps AmeriCorps members served this past year at the Colorado Behavioral Health Council in

Denver. YMHFA is a certification course that introduces participants to risk factors and warning signs of adolescent mental health

problems, focuses on the importance of early intervention, and teaches how to help adolescents who are in crisis or having a mental health

or substance use challenge. The AmeriCorps member, who is a trained YMHFA instructor, certified 328 community members in the program.

A three month follow-up survey revealed that YMHFA strategies helped 429 adolescents who struggle with a mental health challenge or

illness.

AmeriCorps VISTAs serving with the United Way of Weld County Right to Read program are helping the organization reduce illiteracy and

poverty. In 2015, AmeriCorps VISTA member Linda Warren secured a grant for $80,000 for Right to Read to provide English as a Second

Language classes to refugees. The grant, which is renewable for four years, enables Right to Read to continue providing its English as a

Second Language program. VISTAs also successfully developed partnerships with the University of Northern Colorado to help increase their

volunteer base.

AmeriCorps VISTA

AmeriCorps VISTAs with the Telluride Foundation were instrumental in securing $1,550,000 in grant funding for the next three years from

the Boettcher Foundation. The funds will be used to focus on continued technical assistance to the Patient Health Navigator program and

to support the Community Health Worker program.

AmeriCorps NCCC

In partnership with the Pike San Isabel National Forest-Lake George and the U.S. Forest Service, an AmeriCorps NCCC team responded to

wildland fires, both locally and nationwide, and worked on fuel reduction and other environmentally focused assignments when not fighting

fires. NCCC members received certifications in wildland fire firefighting and chainsaw operation and worked to mitigate the risk of future

wild fires. This was accomplished through controlled burns, preparation for three future burns, and elimination of available fuels. Members

also constructed slash piles as habitat for forest wildlife. In Leadville, the team helped to improve forest health by cutting down trees

infested with the mistletoe parasite. As a forest fire resource, the team also responded to a 60-acre fire in Teller County and assisted in

both initial attack and clean up after the fire.

The Action Center in Lakewood requested an AmeriCorps NCCC team to provide immediate assistance to the Food Pantry, Clothing Bank,

and Homeless Shelter, connecting donated resources directly to families facing crisis. The mission of the Action Center is to provide an

immediate response to basic human needs and to promote pathways to self-sufficiency. NCCC members collected and distributed a total of

83,478 pounds of food, collected and distributed 7,800 pounds of clothing and sorted or distributed a total of 11,300 household goods and

personal items. The team provided 10,090 people with food, water, clothing, personal items, and household goods. The team also assisted

2,635 homeless people and managed 297 volunteers. The Action Center staff was able to work more efficiently and focus on the clients,

volunteers were motivated to work harder and achieve more, and the NCCC members' involvement with community special events inspired

the people of Jefferson County to get more involved in their communities.

The Pueblo Senior Resource Development Agency Foster Grandparent Program in Pueblo supported 59 Foster Grandparents to assist

students in grades K-4 achieve reading proficiency that meets state academic achievement standards. Foster Grandparents tutor, mentor,

and serve as role models. This year, the Foster Grandparents are serving more children as classroom sizes are expanding due to shrinking

budgets. Foster Grandparents served 282 students and 89 percent of them demonstrated improved academic performance in literacy.

Senior Corps Foster Grandparent Program

Adams/East Arapahoe Schools Where All Thrive tutor-mentor program serves in 20 elementary schools. Trained RSVP volunteers work

individually with struggling second and third grade students to improve their reading skills. Last year, the program served 375 students.

Eight-five percent of the students gained at least a full year’s skills growth, and fifty percent demonstrated two or more years of growth.

RSVP volunteers also provided students with more than 2,000 free books.

Senior Corps RSVP

St. Mary’s Senior Companion Program in Grand Junction supports Senior Companions to visit and assist elderly clients with shopping,

medical appointments, and outings. While addressing their needs for transportation and community access, the Senior Companions

provide valuable socialization and friendship. Senior Companions provide their clients with self-sufficiency and independence and allow

them to remain independent in their homes for as long as possible. In 2015, 39 Senior Companions provided independent living services to

288 clients. Eight percent of these clients reported increased social support.

Social Innovation Fund programs are investing $688,250 to expand the impact of 13 nonprofits in Colorado, focusing primarily on early

childhood development and supportive housing. Kindergarteners, first graders, and third graders who participated in Summit 54's Summer

Advantage program demonstrated statistically significant improved reading scores. Teachers reported increased preparedness of children

re-entering school each fall, allowing them to gain more ground during the school year.
