National Service in Utah

More than 5,100 people of all ages and backgrounds are helping to

meet local needs, strengthen communities, and increase civic

engagement through national service in Utah. Serving at more than

900 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 UTAH 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 5,000 young people who have special

needs. Senior Companions help more than 1,100 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

340 groups across Utah.

individuals the opportunity to provide intensive, results-driven service

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

pressing needs in communities across Utah. Most AmeriCorps grant

funding goes to the UServeUtah, 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 16,000 Utah residents have served more than 15

million hours and have qualified for Segal AmeriCorps Education

Awards totaling more than $36,180,000.

AmeriCorps: This year AmeriCorps will provide more than 1,800

More than 3,200 seniors in Utah

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 Utah, 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 $2,790,000 in expanding

the impact of 8 nonprofits in Utah, selected and supported by 3

intermediaries.

Social Innovation Fund: The Social Innovation Fund transforms

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

will commit more than $15,730,000 to support Utah 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 public-private partnership, this federal

investment will leverage an additional $13,390,000 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

UServeUtah, the Utah Commission on Service & Volunteerism, manages 12 AmeriCorps State programs with 1,459 AmeriCorps members

serving across the state addressing critical needs in the areas of education, health, environment, economic opportunity, disaster and

capacity building. In the 2014-2015 program year, more than 11,000 students were tutored and mentored with 90 percent showing

improved academic performance as a result of AmeriCorps program efforts. In addition, more than 15,000 individuals received access to

health care resources through service provided by AmeriCorps members. Along with AmeriCorps program outreach, oversight, training and

technical assistance, UServeUtah serves as the state’s central coordinating body for service and volunteerism, and is responsible for

developing, implementing, and sustaining a vision and culture of civic engagement and national and community service within the state.

Some of UServeUtah’s other programming responsibilities include volunteer management training, disaster service leadership, the Lt.

Governor’s Volunteer Recognition Awards, and the state’s volunteer connecting website.

Utah Playworks AmeriCorps has 13 AmeriCorps members who serve at 12 low-income, high-need elementary schools in Salt Lake County.

AmeriCorps members use the power of safe, fun, and healthy play at school and create a place for every child on the playground to be

included and active, and build social and emotional skills. Last year, Playworks AmeriCorps members helped more than 5,000 students

have a richer learning experience; 70 percent of these children became more academically engaged. The students had an increased sense

of belonging among their peers and a better connection with adults. Teachers in these schools report that students gained an average of

21 hours of instruction time over the course of the year as a result of fewer behavioral disruptions. That is a $55,962 return on investment

per school. Playworks AmeriCorps members are making an impact in Utah by stopping chaos at recess, helping children shift behaviors,

and creating an environment in which every child can thrive, in the classroom and out.

AmeriCorps State

The Utah Conservation Corps is a statewide AmeriCorps program that partners with federal, state, local, and nonprofit agencies to protect,

restore, and enhance our environment. Its 175 AmeriCorps members, and the more than 5,000 community volunteers they recruited last

year, complete environmental stewardship projects throughout the state. Last year alone, AmeriCorps members improved more than 150

miles of trails and rivers and nearly 4,300 acres of parks and public land. The members taught more than 50,000 students about energy

efficiency and environmentally-conscious behavior. Studies show that the AmeriCorps members gain the skills to be engaged and

knowledgeable conservation leaders of tomorrow while they cost-effectively address critical unmet environmental stewardship needs today.

The American Conservation Experience, operating out of St. George, enrolled 49 AmeriCorps members who served on environmental

conservation projects in 2015. AmeriCorps members built and maintained trails, improved waterways, and removed invasive species. Over

the course of the past year, members surveyed and maintained 58.4 miles of waterway, improved or restored 103 acres of land, and built or

maintained 131 miles of trail.

AmeriCorps National

Youth Volunteer Corps has two AmeriCorps members who serve Cedar City and Ogden. Last year in Cedar City, the program engaged 47

youth, including 24 disadvantaged youth, in 3,590 hours of service. The youth volunteers participated in 160 projects for 51 local agencies,

including Canyon Creek Women's Center, Bread of Life Soup Kitchen, and Cedar City Community Garden. The program launched in Ogden in

July 2015 with similar goals to engage youth in service.

Maliheh Free Clinic AmeriCorps VISTA member Jeff Collins successfully applied for and received malpractice coverage for the free clinic

through the Federal Torts Claims Act. This will provide savings of well over $100,000 per year as the clinic does not have to purchase

malpractice insurance for more than 50 volunteer medical providers. Jeff developed a quality assurance plan and a system for

credentialing and privileging volunteers to meet the requirements to apply for malpractice coverage for the clinic’s volunteer medical

providers. Once established, Jeff transferred responsibility for the quality assurance plan and the credentialing program to the clinic’s

Medical Advisory Committee and staff members. Obtaining free coverage has been a long time goal of the clinic since the high cost of

malpractice insurance is unaffordable for nonprofit clinics and lack of malpractice coverage is the chief barrier to recruiting volunteer

medical providers. AmeriCorps VISTA member Pati Comes helped bring in more than $100,000 in new revenue in 2015. This has allowed

the clinic to see hundreds of new patients and they no longer have a waiting list. In 2014, the clinic had a four month waiting list for new

patients.

Two AmeriCorps VISTA members serving at People Helping People as fundraising coordinators helped generate a substantial amount of

resources during their year of service to expand the reach of the organization into new areas of the state of Utah. People Helping People is a

nonprofit that serves women and children living in areas throughout the Wasatch Front. By offering job training and development

programs, the organization helps women and their families move out of poverty. The AmeriCorps VISTA members created a tracking system

for grant writing research and submissions. They also wrote more than 60 letters of intent and submitted more than 70 grant proposals to

grow the program to serve more individuals. The members raised more than $550,000 in grant funds and $12,000 in in-kind donations

during their year of service.

AmeriCorps NCCC

The Road Home is a private nonprofit social service agency that assists individuals and families experiencing homelessness in Salt Lake

County and along the Wasatch Front. Their mission is to help people step out of homelessness and back into the community. According to

Utah’s Homeless Point-In-Time Count, an estimated 13,621 people in Utah experienced homelessness in 2014. Increasingly, the people

experiencing homelessness are families with children. An AmeriCorps NCCC team was requested to join in The Road Home’s poverty

alleviation efforts. Over the course of their round, the team checked guests into their rooms each night and sorted through 2,310 pounds of

food items and 7,322 pounds of clothing items that had been donated to the shelter’s warehouse. The team also conducted 150 surveys

with residents of the shelter, which were geared towards helping the city improve and expand future services. All of these actions aimed to

have residents return to the shelter on a nightly basis and utilize the services that the shelter provided. This, in turn, aids in Salt Lake

City’s mission to help the homeless find homes and return to the workforce and their communities.

Habitat for Humanity of Summit & Wasatch Counties provides housing and comprehensive financial and life-skill education to low-income

families in Utah. Founded in 1995, the organization seeks to build, renovate, and preserve homes for working families in need through

partnership with volunteers in its communities. During the spring of 2015, the service of an AmeriCorps NCCC team was requested to

support building efforts, supply warehouse services, and conduct community outreach. The team served in the Habitat for Humanity

ReStore for one week of their round, helping customers, painting the ReStore wall, and planting flowers in eight planters that AmeriCorps

NCCC members placed outside of the ReStore. The team also removed dead wood from a total of 5.6 acres of two homeowners’ properties to

help prevent the spread of any future fires, and restored hiking trail behind one of the properties. As a result of the service that AmeriCorps

NCCC members performed, the community of Park City has become more aware of Habitat for Humanity, the organization’s goals, and of

energy-saving programs for Summit and Wasatch counties.

Foster Grandparent Programs across the state of Utah are focused on helping at-risk students achieve academic success. Test scores

consistently show an achievement gap between students who are low-income, minorities, and other students. According to DIBELS

(Dynamic Indicators of Basic Early Literacy Skills) research, 80 percent of children who reach benchmark will remain on benchmark for the

remainder of their schooling. The Foster Grandparent Program of Northern Utah pioneered working with local school districts to track

DIBELS test scores for students tutored by Foster Grandparents. They did so by working hand in hand with seven school districts to

implement a method to track the pre- and post- DIBELS scores of each child tutored by a Foster Grandparent. The superintendents of the

three largest school districts select district administrators to serve on the advisory council. These individuals have been key in formulating

the data collection process. In 2015, 89 percent, or 1,073 children tutored showed improvement in their academic scores by the end of the

year and 40 percent of the students who received this one-on-one tutoring reached benchmark.

Senior Corps Foster Grandparent Program

Ninety RSVP volunteers with Salt Lake County Aging and Adult Services serve with the Meals on Wheels program. In 2014 these volunteers

delivered more than 11,000 meals to 200 seniors, providing the frail and homebound elderly with nutrition and socialization. For many, the

RSVP volunteer is the only person that the homebound senior sees on a daily basis, increasing their independence and sense of social

connectedness. Some of the Salt Lake County RSVP volunteers are also meal delivery team leaders. In addition to delivering meals they

recruit, schedule and provide training for other volunteers on their delivery team. RSVP volunteers also serve as backup volunteers. To

ensure that all meal recipients get their meal every day there is a great need for reliable backup volunteers. There is a team of RSVP

backup volunteers that are fast responders and willing to deliver, even when called at the last minute. The Salt Lake County Meals on

Wheels Program does not currently have a waiting list and are able to serve people in need. This is in part due to the dedication and efforts

of the RSVP volunteers that play a variety of volunteer roles to support the Meals on Wheels program.

Jeannette, a former Senior Companion with the Weber Human Services program, now benefits from having a Senior Companion herself.

With the assistance of her Senior Companion, Jeannette is able to volunteer to deliver meals with Meals on Wheels. Jeannette ended her

service as a Senior Companion due to progression of her Alzheimer’s disease. She missed being in the community and the ability to serve

others. With the opportunity to volunteer with Meals on Wheels with her Senior Companion she said, “This has given me my life back. I feel

like I’m contributing to the community again.” There is a growing trend in Utah that former Senior Companions who are no longer able to

serve now receive the benefits of being visited by a Senior Companion. Former Senior Companions with Salt Lake County Aging and Adult

Services, Weber Human Services, and others have been able to benefit as a Senior Companion client after years of service.

Senior Corps Senior Companion Program

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. SIF programs throughout the state focus on areas such as affordable and

healthy housing, as well as recidivism reduction and more. The Social Innovation Fund is investing $497,000 in expanding the impact of

seven nonprofits in Utah.

Social Innovation Fund

UServeUtah uses Volunteer Generation Fund grant support to establish a strong infrastructure to support volunteers in Utah and functions

as a consultant and training resource to build and cultivate organizational capacity and increase volunteer utilization. UServeUtah also

actively promotes volunteerism and is committed to creating ways for Utahn’s to identify and engage in quality volunteer and service

opportunities. A primary aim is to help organizations successfully use service and volunteerism as a strategy to fulfill their mission as well

as increasing the number of highly skilled and long-term volunteers serving in Utah. UServeUtah accomplishes this by providing statewide

trainings that ensure organizations are prepared to use volunteers effectively; supporting businesses in creating employee volunteer

programs throughout the state; and helping local municipalities recognize and use volunteers as an effective means of addressing

community needs. In 2015, more than 200 organizations received training related to volunteer management with 95 percent of them

reporting that this training helped expand and improve capacity within their organization to use volunteers to address critical needs.

Location Description

Salt Lake City, UT University of Utah (2016) ADP Sorenson Impact Center's mission is to develop innovative and datadriven solutions to difficult social problems. The Center's proposed

approach (Project) is to assist approximately four PFS projects per year

on a rolling basis with the expectation that each engagement will

result in actionable solutions within a 12-month time frame; as

projects conclude, the Center will select new engagements from either

a waitlist or new competition, based on an approved sub-selection

plan made in consultation with the Corporation for National and

Community Service (CNCS). The primary focus of this Project is to

remove both the legal and technical barriers to data access by crafting

thorough sharing agreements and by utilizing reliable low- and nocost (open-source) software tools. The Center will add capacity to its

existing data science team in order to accelerate the construction and

launch of PFS projects around the country. The Center's Service

Recipients will receive a full data diagnosis and technical assistance

to develop the requisite data access agreements, software tools for

cleaning and merging data, legal and regulatory analyses to provide

guidance on data privacy questions, and thorough statistical analyses

geared toward facilitating high-quality PFS projects. Through this

approach, the Center will create a central repository of information-an

additional pillar to its existing Knowledge Portal which will include, for

example: legal templates for data access and data sharing

agreements, as well as the frameworks that address commonly-cited

regulatory factors under FERPA, HIPAA, 42 CFR Part 2, and other

relevant data privacy regimes; open-source computer code to clean,

merge, and extract identified high-value data; technical training on

best practices, such as step-by-step tutorials on how to perform data

matching, or webinars on topics like data privacy; and discrete

analytical tools that could be repurposed and utilized by other PFS

project stakeholders - some for more advanced users who would feel

comfortable with basic statistics and computer code, and some with a

simple graphical user interface for all potential users.

Salt Lake City, UT University of Utah (2016) PFS The Partnership between Sorenson Impact Center at the University of

Utah and Social Finance, Inc. brings together the best attributes of two

social impact and innovation industry leaders. The Partnership will

provide Transaction Structuring technical assistance to between 4-5

Service Recipients, resulting in the launch of new Pay for Success

projects in the Western United States. The Partnership builds on key

strengths of each individual partner involved in the Pay for Success

field: Social Finance, Inc. as an experienced intermediary and project

coordinator dedicated to mobilizing capital to drive social progress;

and the Sorenson Impact Center as an innovation mission-focused

institute with broad experience in overall outcomes-oriented projects

and stakeholder management. The Center also brings unparalleled

access to research academics to support the refinement of

intervention programs and related evaluation designs. The Partnership

will take a proactive and comprehensive approach to help jurisdictions

structure PFS projects, focusing technical assistance on development

of: 1) program designs that incorporate research-based principles of

effective intervention; 2) social cost benefit models to articulate the

economic value proposition for the intervention; 3) rigorous evaluation

designs; and 4) quantifiable outcome metrics to approximate overall

impact for the planned intervention. Finally, the Partnership will

assist organizations with the development of a communication and

engagement strategy to support a stakeholder engagement, including

providers, funders, and policymakers."

Alliance House is a Salt Lake City, UT based non-profit organization

that was founded in 1987 and provides a supportive environment and

support services to adults with serious, persistent mental illness

(SPMI). Alliance House delivers the “Clubhouse International Model,” –

an innovative psychosocial program that takes place in a setting that

is neither institution nor treatment center, and seeks to support adults

with SPMI in rebuilding their self-respect, dignity, and abilities

through education, productive work, and meaningful relationships.

With over 300 Clubhouses around the world, the Clubhouse

International model has proven to measurably and meaningfully

improve lives by providing cost effective opportunities for employment

and improved well-being, decreasing hospitalizations and reducing

incarcerations; leading to the model’s inclusion in the US National

Registry of Evidence-Based Programs and Practices. Currently,

Alliance House serves 330 individuals annually, with 25% of those

individuals at-risk for or experiencing homelessness.

First Step House’s intervention model is grounded in research about

what works to reduce recidivism. The program name is REACH, which

stands for Recovery, Engagement, Assessment, Career Development,

and Housing. Recovery means recovery from criminogenic patterns and

a substance use disorder. The REACH program is built upon the

framework of risk-need-responsivity (RNR) principles. The central

tenants of RNR are: (1) High intensity treatment is best suited for

offenders at high risk for reoffending. (2) It is best not to mix high risk

and low risk populations. (3) Treatment should target dynamic

criminogenic needs that are associated with recidivism. (4)

Responsivity refers to matching treatment according to the

individual’s ability and learning style. FSH's program builds upon this

framework by addressing the major criminogenic factors that have the

greatest impact on reducing recidivism, including antisocial

behaviors, antisocial personality/negative emotionality, antisocial

attitudes, antisocial cognitions, and substance abuse.

The State of Utah Governor's Office of Planning and Budget is

developing a feasibility study to use a Pay for Success approach to

address recidivism by targeting offenders with co-occurring substance

abuse and mental illness. The State of Utah has made a large

investment in criminal justice system reforms, including partnering

with the Pew Charitable Trust and U.S. Department of Justice as part

of Justice Reinvestment Initiative. The proposed program is innovative

because it recognizes that a mental health and substance abuse

intervention for those with a co-occurring diagnosis dramatically

reduces the risk to re-offend.

The Road Home's proposed project aims to end homelessness for 315

formerly homeless adults who fall in the category of "persistently

homeless." The Road Home will use barrier removal and time limited

rental assistance supplemented by a flexible selection of services that

includes targeted case management, benefit eligibility and enrollment,

behavioral health needs assessments and referrals for treatment,

employment support, and connections to primary health care, elderly

services, and more. The Road Home will build on existing housing

programs such as rapid re-housing with Progressive Engagement and

develop new programs including roommate housing and single room

occupancy. The Road Home looks to integrate data collection methods

to better understand how these programs reduce their clients’

interactions with the criminal justice system and reduce the rate of

recidivism.
