National Service in Georgia

More than 4,300 people of all ages and backgrounds are helping to

meet local needs, strengthen communities, and increase civic

engagement through national service in Georgia. Serving at more

than 600 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 GEORGIA 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 2,100 young people who have special

needs. Senior Companions help more than 930 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

110 groups across Georgia.

individuals the opportunity to provide intensive, results-driven service

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

pressing needs in communities across Georgia. Most AmeriCorps

grant funding goes to the Georgia Commission for Service and

Volunteerism, 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 17,000 Georgia residents have served more than 24 million

hours and have qualified for Segal AmeriCorps Education Awards

totaling more than $50,350,000.

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

More than 3,200 seniors in Georgia

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 $19,730,000 to support Georgia 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 $4,190,000 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 Georgia, 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 $120,000 in expanding

the impact of 2 nonprofits in Georgia.

Project RISE (Refugee and Immigrant Self-sufficiency through Education) is a collaborative AmeriCorps effort between New American

Pathways and Fugees Family that focuses on educational services to address the significant gap in the DeKalb County refugee community,

among both youth and their parents. Twenty-one AmeriCorps members serve the needs of refugee youth and their families from Sudan,

Burma, Iraq, Burundi, Liberia, Afghanistan, and Somalia through schools in Clarkston, Georgia. Along with the leveraged support of

community volunteers, AmeriCorps members support refugee and immigrant self-sufficiency by offering individualized direct service

through education in core programs, including afterschool and summer academic programming operating in multiple partner school sites.

The program expects 375 youth to show improved academic engagement. In addition, more than 300 adult clients will receive educational

and support services through workshops and one-on-one assistance in areas such as financial literacy, employment, and educational

opportunities.

AmeriCorps State

Twenty-four AmeriCorps members will participate in sea turtle rehabilitation, research, and education at the Georgia Sea Turtle Center on

Jekyll Island. The program is designed to increase environmental awareness within the community as demonstrated by completion of at

least 1,000 educational programs, the recruitment of volunteers to serve by supporting conservation initiatives, and a positive impact on

the sea turtle species. Over the years, AmeriCorps members have come from 32 different states in the US. The AmeriCorps program was

included in the America's Service Commissions and Innovations in Civic Participation's publication, “Transforming Communities through

Service: A Collection of 52 of the Most Innovation AmeriCorps Programs in the United States”.

Atlanta has the eighth highest rate of new HIV infections per capita in the nation. To address the HIV epidemic in the Atlanta community, a

team of five full time AIDS United AmeriCorps members provide direct services to the Atlanta community, including HIV testing and

counseling, health care access, prevention outreach, prevention education, and emotional and social services to at-risk populations. Since

August 2014, AIDS United AmeriCorps members in Atlanta have informed more than 500 individuals of their HIV status through HIV testing

and conducted HIV prevention education sessions to almost 3,000 participants. Of surveyed educational session participants, more than 90

percent reported an increase in knowledge of HIV transmission and prevention and how to reduce their risk for HIV. AmeriCorps members

have also mobilized almost 600 volunteers in the Atlanta community.

The United Way of the Central Savannah River Area (CSRA) improves life in the Augusta and surrounding community by maximizing the

impact of charitable giving. Under the United Way’s Project Unite, AmeriCorps VISTAs provide critical support to enhance the

organizational, administrative, and financial capacity of nonprofits addressing the needs of low-income communities in Augusta and 11

surrounding counties. VISTAs develop programs to meet local needs, recruit and train community volunteers, and write grants to support

many important efforts, including Wounded Warriors, afterschool programs for disadvantaged youth, and the Homeless Continuum of Care

Impact Team. The United Way’s CSRA 2013 annual report highlights the impact of VISTA on the local organizations and the entire

community: “In 2013, 25 AmeriCorps VISTAs raised $502,000 in donations, recruited 4,221 volunteers, and generated over 35,780 hours of

service at a value of $743,151. The VISTA program had an impact valued at $1,548,651 on the community for the year.”

AmeriCorps VISTA

The AmeriCorps VISTA team at the United Way of Northwest Georgia supports Project CONNECT, an initiative that improves education in the

rural counties of Whitfield and Murray. VISTAs impact education by supporting partner agencies and public schools that get children ready

to be successful kindergarteners, read on grade level by third grade, and successfully transition to high school, college, and career.

Through volunteer recruitment and resource development, VISTA members support critical services that help fight illiteracy and improve

academic performance among at-risk children. This year VISTA members recruited 938 volunteers who gave 2,144 hours of service.

Additionally, 362 parents connected to their child’s education by attending parent involvement events hosted by VISTA members.

AmeriCorps NCCC

An AmeriCorps NCCC team worked with Okefenokee National Wildlife Refuge (ONWR), a division of the National Wildlife Refuge System. The

mission of the ONWR is to restore, enhance, and promote the native upland communities and the associated wetlands to maintain the

natural vegetation mosaic, diversity, and viability found historically within the ONWR, Piedmont National Wildlife Refuge, Savannah, Ace

Basin and Carolina Sandhill Crane National Wildlife Refuge. The NCCC team assisted the refuge in upholding this mission by clearing

canoe trails as well as a few walking trails throughout the East side of the refuge. Members cleared approximately 10 miles of trail and

removed about 7,650 pounds of unwanted brush from canoe trails that became inaccessible after wildfires in 2011 and 2013. The opening

of these canoe trails will result in an increased number of visitors coming to the refuge for its canoeing opportunities. The team has also

assisted with the preparation of 50 endangered Red Cockaded Woodpecker tree for prescribed burning. Overall, the team’s effort helped to

further restore this very sensitive refuge so more people can enjoy the outdoors.

Habitat for Humanity is one of the most recognized and respected brands in the United States. Most people know that that Habitat builds

affordable housing for hard working low income families, but there’s much more to the Southern Crescent Habitat (SCHH) story. This

affiliate is committed to a community focused approach to housing services that not only addresses the immediate housing need, but also

invests into the lifeblood of the community’s they are helping to create. An AmeriCorps NCCC team spent three weeks working with SCHH in

Clayton County, Georgia. Corps members spent their time installing siding, trim, doors, and windows. In addition, they painted and primed

the interior and exterior of a few homes. Altogether, members helped renovate four homes and built two brand new homes. SCHH is devoted

to building and renovating homes for people who are in need of affordable housing. This is very important in Clayton County since there

hasn't been much community development since the recession and property values have steadily been declining. SCHH is hoping that by

building and renovating homes they will make a positive and lasting impact on working families and the community as a whole.

Savannah Economic Opportunity Center's Foster Grandparent program serves disadvantaged students in local schools. One school where

Foster Grandparents has had marked success is at Hodge Memorial Day Care Center. Hodge is a nonprofit Child Care Learning Center

serving toddler, preschool, and school-age. The center also participates in the subsidized child care program with 75 percent of the

children meeting the criteria to receive meal assistance. During the course of the year, the center administers a screening tool that is

designed to identify children who may be at risk for social or emotional difficulties. The tool screens the developmental performance of

children in the areas of communication, gross motor skills, fine motor skills, problem solving, personal-social skills, and overall

development across time. The children assisted by the Foster Grandparents showed an 85 percent improvement in the area of emotional

and social development as indicated by the assessment.

Senior Corps Foster Grandparent Program

Volunteer Macon is a volunteer service clearinghouse that was established in 1973 by the Junior League. It is located in central Georgia and

serves Macon and eight surrounding rural counties. The RSVP project engages seniors to bring their unique experiences to educate others.

Six Volunteer Macon RSVP African-American women, age 55 and older, who are cancer survivors, completed a Breast Health Education

Training. This training allowed them to conduct outreach to more than 200 African American women and men in rural communities to get

the word out about the importance of annual cancer examinations, mammograms, and self-breast examinations. The education focuses on

cancer diagnosis in the early stages, helping to prolong life. The RSVP volunteers share their personal experiences and highlight

possibilities of living a long life even after a cancer diagnosis. Additionally, the RSVP program received $31,000 to implement Chronic

Disease Self-Management and Diabetes Self-Management from the Middle Georgia Area Agency on Aging. Ten RSVP volunteers are trained

to facilitate workshops for chronic disease and five RSVP volunteers are trained to facilitate diabetes workshops.

The Athens Community Council on Aging Senior Companion Program has provided supportive services for homebound or disabled older

adults in the Northeast Georgia region. Senior Companion volunteers both increased their client’s capacity to age in place, and provided

much needed caregiver respite. Forty-seven volunteers served 75 clients, and provided more than 50,000 hours of service in client’s

homes, independent living centers, and adult day health centers. Volunteers provide companionship, assistance with activities of daily

living, and transportation. The ACCA Senior Companion program continues to reap the benefits of a generous community of physicians and

clinics in the Northeast Georgia region. Discounted physicals from two physicians and one neighborhood clinic totaled more than $2,100.

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 Georgia, 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 $126,250 in expanding the impact

of two nonprofits in Georgia, supported by two intermediaries.
