National Service in Massachusetts

More than 8,300 people of all ages and backgrounds are helping to

meet local needs, strengthen communities, and increase civic

engagement through national service in Massachusetts. Serving at

more than 1,200 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 MASSACHUSETTS 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 3,700 young people who have special

needs. Senior Companions help more than 1,000 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

730 groups across Massachusetts.

individuals the opportunity to provide intensive, results-driven service

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

pressing needs in communities across Massachusetts. Most

AmeriCorps grant funding goes to the Massachusetts Service Alliance,

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 33,000

Massachusetts residents have served more than 45 million hours and

have qualified for Segal AmeriCorps Education Awards totaling more

than $109,400,000.

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

More than 5,600 seniors in Massachusetts

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

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 Massachusetts, 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

$11,000,000 in expanding the impact of 23 nonprofits in

Massachusetts, selected and supported by 10 intermediaries.

Social Innovation Fund: The Social Innovation Fund transforms

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

will commit more than $48,530,000 to support Massachusetts

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

$23,790,000 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.

State Commission

The Massachusetts Service Alliance (MSA) manages a portfolio of 23 AmeriCorps State programs with more than 1,500 AmeriCorps

members, addressing critical needs in the areas of education, environment, economic opportunity, disaster, and capacity building. In the

2014-2015 program year, AmeriCorps members in Massachusetts served more than 12,000 youth, including tutoring or mentoring over

7,000 children and providing more than 120 unaccompanied minors representation in court, provided legal service assistance to 1,227

individuals or families, improved 845 acres of parks and public lands and 163 miles of trails and rivers, and provided 1,000 individuals

with disaster preparedness education and response/recovery services. In addition, MSA builds the capacity of nonprofits to engage

volunteers through trainings and a bi-annual statewide conference on service and volunteerism. MSA administers Commonwealth Corps, a

state supported year of service program that engages Massachusetts residents of all ages and backgrounds in direct service and capacity

building to rebuild communities, address unmet community needs, and increase volunteerism.

Youth Empowerment AmeriCorps members serve full time at the United Teen Equality Center in Lowell. The center's mission and promise is

to ignite and nurture the ambition of Lowell’s most disconnected young people to trade violence and poverty for social and economic

success. AmeriCorps members serve youth in various capacities, including case management, teaching, coaching, job training, civic

engagement, community service and mentoring. AmeriCorps members experience a unique and dynamic opportunity for professional and

personal development, and they cultivate a variety of skills from project planning and management to public speaking, relationship

building, and more. The United Teen Equality Center recruits AmeriCorps members from the communities served, including former program

participants. In 2014-2015, 18 AmeriCorps members gave more than 25,000 hours of service and served than 250 young people, providing

them with educational support, civic engagement opportunities, and life skills they need to lead peaceful and empowered lives. In addition,

AmeriCorps members collaborated with more than 10 local organizations and leveraged more than 50 volunteers to help in projects at the

center and special events.

AmeriCorps State

In 2010, the Mount Grace Land Conservation Trust of Athol established the Massachusetts Land Initiative for Tomorrow (MassLIFT).

MassLIFT is a collaborative effort of regional conservation organizations seeking to build public support for land conservation, increase

regional conservation capacity, strengthen land stewardship, and provide opportunities for youth to connect with nature and engage in

service learning. The overall goal of MassLIFT is to accelerate the pace of land protection across the Commonwealth. Through the program,

23 AmeriCorps members serving at 15 different organizations, helping them meet critical community needs for land protection, including

conservation project initiation and implementation, stewardship of protected lands, outreach to the broader community, and service

learning opportunities to engage young people in conservation. In 2014-2015, AmeriCorps members recruited and managed 1,492

community volunteers who served 6,821 hours building capacity at 15 different organizations. In addition, 44 organizations reported

improved organizational effectiveness resulting from members’ capacity building projects.

Citizen Schools is a nonprofit organization that partners with middle schools to expand the learning day for children in low-income

communities. Its AmeriCorps members serve at public schools in Boston, Charlestown, Chelsea, Dorchester, Roxbury, and Salem, leading

real-world learning projects, providing academic support, and helping all students discover and achieve their dreams. In their two years of

service, AmeriCorps members serve as Teaching Fellows, giving students months of extra learning through academic mentoring and skillbuilding apprenticeships that translate into college readiness and career opportunities. Citizen Schools has been recognized as a leader in

engaging volunteers, generating student impact, and balancing direct service with systemic change efforts. Students who are supported by

Citizen Schools graduated from high school within four years at a rate of 71 percent, compared to 59 percent among matched peers, and

61 percent of Citizen Schools’ alumni enroll in college.

AmeriCorps National

City Year Boston AmeriCorps has 265 members who serve full-time at 21 schools, helping more than 10,000 students with the greatest risk

of dropping out. Working side-by-side with teachers, 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 schoolwide initiatives to improve school culture. Thanks to the members’ service, 90 percent of students who were tutored in math and 88 percent

of students tutored in reading and writing increased their scores on district tests. In a second year of tutoring, an additional 62 percent of

students showed gains in English and math test scores, even though the number of AmeriCorps members remained the same.

College Advising Corps has 23 AmeriCorps members serving full-time as college advisors at 24 high schools in Boston. The members are

placed in underserved high schools and work to increase the number of low-income, first-generation, and underrepresented students who

enter and complete higher education. The members provide the counsel and encouragement that students need to navigate the college

admissions process. The AmeriCorps members help students plan their college searches, complete admissions and financial aid

applications, and enroll at schools that will serve them well. In 2015, these 23 members served 7,200 students, helping 1,152 seniors

register for the SAT or ACT. They held 6,878 one-to-one meetings with students and met with 10,106 students in classroom presentations or

group sessions. They also organized college campus visits for 1,004 seniors.

FoodCorps has 12 AmeriCorps members serving in Boston, Cambridge, Chelsea, Chicopee, Gloucester, Holyoke, Lawrence, Lowell, and Lynn.

FoodCorps is a nationwide team of AmeriCorps leaders who work under the direction of local partner organizations to connect children to

real food and help them grow up healthy. They teach children hands-on lessons about food and nutrition build and tend school gardens,

teach cooking lessons, and help change what's on lunch trays so that children can eat healthy food from local farms. In the past year, the

FoodCorps members in Massachusetts served 8,746 children, built or brought back into use 40 school and community gardens, harvested

1,796 pounds of produce, and recruited 729 community volunteers.

New Sector AmeriCorps members in the AmeriCorps RISE program complete high-impact capacity-building projects for organizations in the

Boston area that focus on education and economic opportunity. Their service helps local nonprofits with projects ranging from volunteer

engagement to performance measurement and beyond, and allows the nonprofits to create, improve, or expand services to their community.

In the past year, 22 New Sector AmeriCorps members completed projects to strengthen organizations that serve more than 10,000 children,

2,000 “opportunity youth,” and thousands of low-income residents. The AmeriCorps members participated in up to 200 hours of training,

mentorship, and coaching to strengthen their service and help them continue to serve through careers in the social impact sector.

One Youth Mental Health First Aid (YMHFA) Corps AmeriCorps member served this past year at Behavioral Health Network in Springfield.

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 115 community members in the program. A

three month follow-up survey revealed that YMHFA strategies helped 416 adolescents who struggle with a mental health challenge or

illness.

Vital Village, based out of Boston Medical Center, sponsors two AmeriCorps VISTA members. As a result of their combined efforts, they

have formed a residents association and have developed a community survey engagement tool for a food and fitness coalition in an

underserved section of Boston. The VISTA members have taken the survey and translated it to mobile technology to increase its

sustainability, with the ultimate goal of conducting the survey in other neighborhoods.

AmeriCorps VISTA

Housing Families Inc., in Malden, sponsors two AmeriCorps VISTA members. Their combined efforts have increased the number of new

successful grant proposals, developed a system to track lapsed grant sources, improved communication and graphic design, expanded

Housing Families’ video library, and created videos for specific expansion efforts.

AmeriCorps NCCC

The Community Harvest Project in North Grafton applied for an AmeriCorps NCCC team to help with farming activities and build a 40’ x

100’ greenhouse that would double existing greenhouse and hoophouse space to grow and harvest plants. The project’s mission is to build

an engaged and healthier community by bringing volunteers together to grow fresh fruits and vegetables for hunger relief. The NCCC team

assembled the greenhouse with minimal instructions. The greenhouse helped the program double their ability to grow – an increase of

about 324,000 lbs. Besides the greenhouse work, members did a great deal of farm work: they harvested over 13,487 pounds of fruits and

vegetables and washed and prepared over 16,689 pounds of fruits and vegetables. They also painted irrigation pump houses, built

transportation stands, maintained the farming garden, and helped with the compost pile. They occasionally instructed drop-in volunteers

on how to do some tasks activities when no project staff was available. Thanks to the work of the team, more needy families will get the

healthy food they deserve.

An AmeriCorps NCCC team partnered with Mass Audubon, in Sharon, which works to protect the nature of Massachusetts for people and

wildlife. The team helped build new program space, renovate camp space, and landscape at Moose Hill Wildlife Sanctuary and at Stony

Brook. At Moose Hill, corps members deep cleaned, installed insulation, and removed HVAC metal ventilation and duct work from a building

to be used for camp programming. The team built raised garden beds at the CSA Farm and took a damaged roof off the nature center. At

Stony Brook, the team expanded a long garden bed, cleared out bird houses and participated in "Amphibians after Dark," an education skit

that teaches about frogs, salamanders, and vernal pools. Thanks to the work of the team, there is now more classroom and meeting space

at Moose Hill. The garden beds they built serve as a learning opportunity, and protect the farmland from unwanted motorized vehicles. At

Stony Brook, the expanded garden helped remove potential hazards, the clearing of bird houses helped bring in new activity, and the skit

helps campers learn about amphibians they knew little about.

Action for Boston Community Development Foster Grandparent Program volunteers have worked with 17 Somali youth in the Boston area.

These youth face many challenges trying to meet the expectations of two very different cultures. The negative portrayal of Somalis in the

media, and a lack of role models, can create a sense of disengagement and a lack of investment in their futures as they transition into

adulthood. Somali Foster Grandparents build connections with Somali youth in an afterschool program in Roxbury, and provide the students

with mentoring and support that they do not get at home. By meeting with Somali youth, engaging in storytelling and discussions about life

skills, the Foster Grandparents support youth who have suffered trauma in Somalia. Besides educating them on Somali culture and

customs which would otherwise be lost to them, the Foster Grandparents encourage the youth to take control of their identity, develop their

leadership skills, and take pride in themselves and their culture.

Senior Corps Foster Grandparent Program

Elder Services of Cape Cod and the Islands RSVP project has 51 volunteers who give approximately 6,500 hours of service each year,

helping with environmental projects and other community priorities. The RSVP volunteers, many of whom are veterans themselves, have

helped 578 veterans by providing information on how to access State and Federal veteran’s benefits, as well as health education and

career information.

Senior Corps RSVP

Valley Opportunity Council Senior Companion Program has 36 volunteers who give in-home support to 179 homebound elders in Chicopee,

Ludlow, and Holyoke. This support and assistance helps the elders continue to live independently. The volunteers help with transportation,

socialization, wellness, and application assistance.

Senior Corps Senior Companion Program

The Social Innovation Fund (SIF) is investing $3,533,998 to expand the impact of 22 nonprofits in Massachusetts. In 2015, the SIF more

than doubled the number of nonprofits working in Massachusetts that it supports. These nonprofits work on a variety of issues, including

working to improve healthy living, fostering youth development and increasing economic opportunity throughout the state. People who are

being served by a SIF subgrantee, AIDS Action Committee of Massachusetts, who had a detectable HIV viral load have shown an 81 percent

decrease in their viral load after a six-month follow-up check. The 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.

Social Innovation Fund

The Massachusetts Service Alliance has continued to expand the Service Enterprise Initiative across Massachusetts by working closely with

Volunteer Connector partners in Southeastern Massachusetts (United Way of Greater New Bedford), Cape Cod (Cape and Islands United

Way), and most recently in Boston (Boston Cares). This evidence-based training and certification program has served as an ideal way for

MSA to help build internal capacity for agencies of all sizes across Massachusetts and providing in-depth and individualized support. The

curriculum allows MSA to offer best practices for the use of skill-based volunteers and expanding volunteerism within each participating

agency. Each year MSA works with 10-15 new agencies to undergo the Service Enterprise transformation which culminates with a national

certification and a portfolio of implemented best practices. In addition, MSA provides opportunities for nonprofits to introduce and recruit

new volunteers to their agency through National Days of Service. MSA works with 20-30 agencies to host service projects to engage at least

21,000 community volunteers serving up to 42,000 hours across the Commonwealth.

Boston, MA Third Sector (2016) ADP The Stanford Center on Poverty and Inequality (CPI) and Third Sector

Capital Partners ("Third Sector") have joined together for the Social

Innovation Fund's Pay for Success Administrative Data Pilot. The

proposed program will improve the quality of the evidence used to

evaluate PFS initiatives. Although administrative data are the gold

standard for many types of program evaluation, they have not been

well incorporated into the PFS movement because providers cannot

easily access administrative data or do not have the expertise to

analyze them. We address these problems by combining the CPI's

strength in accessing and analyzing administrative data in California

and Oregon with the Third Sector's familiarity with the 20 ongoing and

planned PFS projects in those states. We propose to focus initially on

projects addressing economic opportunity because the CPI has

substantial contacts and resources in that focus area and because

there are a large number of ongoing PFS projects within it. The

program described here (a) delivers a well-publicized competition for

government and provider Service Recipients, (b) selects promising PFS

projects that will benefit from administrative data, (c) ensures that

the many hurdles in accessing administrative data are overcome in a

timely way, (d)provides ongoing technical assistance to the Service

Recipients, and (e) builds a training program and resource center that

will allow PFS initiatives to incorporate administrative data

successfully. The proposal is supported by a one-to-one $1.5M nonfederal cash match of requested CNCS funds.

Boston, MA Third Sector Capital Partners Third Sector Capital Partners is leveraging SIF funding to assess the

feasibility of implementing Pay for Success (PFS) projects at the local

The Boston Opportunity Youth Collaborative (OYC), convened by the

Boston Opportunity Agenda and the Boston Private Industry Council, is

addressing a gap in services for older opportunity youth in Boston who

have a high school credential, but have not taken the next steps to

college or career. The OYC has launched a Connection Center where

these young people can get started on their education and career

pathways. Through Opportunity Works, Boston is implementing a

postsecondary and career bridging strategy that offers these youth, 40

percent of whom are boys and men of color, supported transitions from

the Connection Center into postsecondary education and training.

Navigation coaches transition these young adults to and through

postsecondary education and training, and ultimately, to the start of a

career. This effort aligns with and builds upon a citywide campaign to

help all Boston youth transition successfully to postsecondary

education—allowing this campaign to reach a far more challenged

population. 
The Boston collective impact collaborative has selected

four high-performing partner programs to provide the postsecondary

and career bridging, along with navigation supports; it also has MOUs

with nine other programs that have agreed to both refer to and accept

referrals from the Connection Center. Boston has multiple strategies to

achieve scale, including launching a collectively shared data tracking

strategy, systemic changes to increase student support and

connections at the community colleges, and expanding the number of

programs that are using the Back on Track model.
