Ensuring AmeriCorps " a year in a lifetime of service.
November 6, 1998
Edward Skloot, Executive Director
Surdna Foundation, Inc.
330 Madison Avenue, 30th Floor
New York, New York 10017-5001
Dear Mr. Skloot:
AmeriCorps Alums, Inc. requests $25,000 from the Surdna Foundation to support the
new Alumni Connection for Career and Episodic Sustained Service (ACCESS) initiative.
ACCESS will create pathways for the force of AmeriCorps graduates, 150,000 citizens
every five years, to maintain active civic involvement over a lifetime. ACCESS will also
greatly enhance a new stream of leadership development that supports the Third Sector.
We are pleased to report to the Surdna Foundation, our founding partner, that
AmeriCorps Alums, Inc. is successfully evolving as AmeriCorps' alumni association,
approaching the ambitious vision proposed by Cynthia Massarsky three years ago. In the
last year alone, the association has increased paid membership by 225%; connected
AmeriCorps graduates to over 1,800 non-profit jobs, and provided post-AmeriCorps
transition training to 2,500 graduating AmeriCorps members in eleven states.
The Need: Alumni Want to Connect with Career and Volunteer Service
The nation's service organizations are stretching their capacity to reach new levels of
citizen involvement called for by the Presidents' Summit for America's Future and a
variety of issues challenging America's prosperity. AmeriCorps alumni want to build a
system connecting the supply of experienced, civic-minded AmeriCorps graduates with
the third sector's local demand for teachers, mentors, program staff, board members,
volunteers, and donors.
AmeriCorps graduates in over 30 regions of the country have indicated they need
technical assistance, working program models, and ongoing peer support to effectively
develop working partnerships with their service sector. These same graduates also have
identified the need for a defined post-AmeriCorps path, which serves as a springboard
directing alumni to roles as community leaders and continuing civic contributors.
Currently, no such system or path exists to facilitate lifelong civic involvement for the
30,000 highly diverse citizens who graduate form AmeriCorps each year.

The ACCESS Model
ACCESS will foster lifelong citizen service and support the Third Sector by building
capacity for the development of innovative alumni service partnerships. Through the
replicable ACCESS model, local alumni networks will:
Partner with a local service organization to engage concentrations of alumni and current
AmeriCorps members in a selected community volunteer project.
Focus stakeholders (State Service Commissions-which administer AmeriCorps, Volunteer
Centers, "Communities of Promise", the United Way, AmeriCorps programs, etc.) to develop
post-AmeriCorps transition programs. These continuing service forums will educate alumni
and current AmeriCorps members about service career tracks and post-AmeriCorps volunteer
roles. Sessions will also focus on developing a lifelong service ethic that endures well
beyond an AmeriCorps term.
Develop a job posting system with the local service sector, where alumni and soon-to-be
graduated AmeriCorps members receive the latest job openings.
The local leadership structure of AmeriCorps graduates is the nucleus of each ACCESS
site. Once a critical mass of alumni leaders is convened, graduates will form a local
alumni club, with its own board of directors. In this volunteer leadership capacity,
AmeriCorps graduates will build their local network, recruiting alumni and upcoming
graduates, and initiating partnerships with stakeholders in the local and state community
service field. The club will organize alumni participation in the volunteer project, and
initiate the planning of local forums for alumni and upcoming AmeriCorps graduates.
Each alumni club will receive critical support from a sponsor organization. Volunteer
Centers, State Community Service Commissions, local United Ways, or public or non-
profit organizations that demonstrate the capacity to support an alumni club, will serve as
sponsor organizations. The sponsor organization will: designate a staff liaison to offer
program guidance to club leaders (ranging from establishing local partnerships to
fiduciary oversight practices); provide for club meeting space and access to a computer,
fax machine and telephone; and fund one monthly alumni mailing.
Outcomes:
The ACCESS initiative will achieve the following outcomes:
Development of at least 12 ACCESS sites each year, which foster service sector collaboration
while integrating the realms of volunteer infrastructure, short-term stipended service,
professional staff roles, and national service resources.
Leverage and more efficiently utilize resources in the service field to develop new Third
Sector leaders, as evidenced by stakeholders' participation in AmeriCorps continuing service
programs in each ACCESS community.
Provide local support to the diverse population of AmeriCorps graduates, connecting them
with peer mentors and service field professionals during their final months of service.
ACCESS Roles, Return for Participation
One of ACCESS' key principles is to develop mutually beneficial partnerships. Each site
relies on a series of win/win roles and partnerships. These partnerships include:
3
Volunteer Centers, United Ways, and other local Volunteer Service Organizations:
Partner role: resource for alumni volunteer project selection, continuing service forums
(including leadership training), and local partnerships; may serve as a sponsoring
organization. Return for participation: large numbers of experienced volunteer recruits,
many of which could serve in training and leading other volunteers; enhance the
organization's capacity and leadership profile through their efforts to connect local
service resources (including strengthening ties with AmeriCorps sites) and developing
this large influx of prospective service leaders; potential contracts from state
commissions and AmeriCorps programs to assist post-AmeriCorps transition to career
and volunteer service.
State Service Commissions:
Partner role: Facilitate connections with local AmeriCorps sites to encourage member
participation in continuing service forums and volunteer roles with alumni; work with
alumni club, sponsor organization, and service stakeholders to develop strategies for
developing a sustainable service ethic among AmeriCorps graduates; likely funders for
continuing service forums; may serve as a sponsoring organization; connects AmeriCorps
Leaders' activities with ACCESS. Return for Participation: access to AmeriCorps
graduates who can serve as trainers, grant reviewers, and board members; alumni and
volunteer center partnerships help commissions succeed in achieving long-term service
objectives and goals of Unified State Plans.
Local Service Network
Partner role: Provide job postings to local alumni clubs for distribution; local service
leaders participate in forums sponsored by alumni clubs. Return for Participation:
capacity to recruit AmeriCorps graduates for leadership roles, employment opportunities,
and volunteer roles. Access to communication network to share relevant community
information with AmeriCorps graduates. Alumni are better prepared to become active
participants and leaders in local volunteerism and philanthropy.
Providing ACCESS to Alumni Ready to Organize
ACCESS is a modest investment that will place tools in the hands of alumni clusters that
are ready to connect with and strengthen the service locally. AmeriCorps Alums will
launch ACCESS in early 1999. By June, AmeriCorps Alums, Inc. will provide teams of
volunteer alumni leaders with the tools, building blocks, and organizational partners to
develop local networks. Specific steps for launching ACCESS include:
Developing ACCESS start-up handbooks that provide alumni clusters with step-by-step
processes for site formation. Resources will include guidance on recruiting alumni, models
of service collaboration and partnership, marketing ACCESS to service partners, connecting
with service opportunities, and suggested topics and approaches for continuing service
forums (completed by June 1, 1999).
Contracting with a Volunteer Center and another type of sponsor organization to produce a
peer handbook for developing alumni partnerships (completed by February 1, 2000.)
4
Peer support. ACCESS sites will be supported through national and regional conference
calls of ACCESS site leaders, listserv and website communication, and ongoing support from
the AmeriCorps Alums staff.
Facilitating local partnerships through national collaborations. ACCESS will be promoted
through the Volunteer Center and "Community of Promise" networks by the Points of Light
Foundation and America's Promise, respectively.
Maintain standards for ACCESS through recognition of sites. AmeriCorps Alums, Inc. will
recognize networks that engage in ACCESS model components (including evaluation).
Preparing for ACCESS
AmeriCorps Alums, Inc., a 501 (c)(3) non-profit, advances its mission by addressing the
needs of graduates, providing avenues for alumni to continue their service involvement,
and educating Americans about the impact of national service. The association's current
communications networks, and local club activities are the only formal national
mechanisms for alumni connection and involvement across the AmeriCorps network.
To prepare for ACCESS, AmeriCorps Alums has launched three pilot clubs to identify
best practices in alumni organizing. AmeriCorps Alums, Inc. has also engaged in site
visits and close consultation with the National Peace Corps Association, and the alumni
associations for the University of Notre Dame and the College of William and Mary
regarding the development of a national network with local affiliates.
Kathryn Floyd, our Members Services Coordinator, will be responsible for ACCESS'
day-to-day activities. Ms. Floyd, a two-time AmeriCorps member, conducted most of the
association's research of alumni club models, facilitated development of pilot club sites,
and has extensive experience in working with organizations which constitute America's
service field. She holds a Master of Arts in Teaching from the University of Portland. A
half-time intern will assist in coordinating ACCESS. Consultants will support
development of the handbook and assist in overall project design.
As the association's executive director, I will supervise the progress of ACCESS. I am
the former executive director of Delaware's state service commission (1994-1997) and
received a Master of Public Administration in 1992.
Sustainability
ACCESS' focus is capacity-building-facilitating partnership models and providing
technical guidance-to enable alumni to realize their vision for a local service/career/peer
connection. Initial costs are associated with developing new resources that foster needed
service partnerships. Second year ACCESS costs involve reprinting updated materials,
and continuing support from peers and AmeriCorps Alums staff.
AmeriCorps Alums, Inc. is committed to sustaining capacity of this initiative, since it is
at the core of our mission. By Year Three, AmeriCorps Alums, Inc. will either consider a
VISTA placement for ongoing support or will add this part-time position to core staff
supported by general operating funds (estimated cost of $15,000). Any remaining costs
will be integrated into existing functions of the association.
5
AmeriCorps Alums will also sustain the ACCESS network by:
Transitioning to regionally based-peer support through electronic media technical assistance
by facilitating development of a Council of ACCESS Leaders.
Integrating ACCESS into programming of partner organizations.
Ensuring that all ACCESS resources can be downloaded from our website.
Promoting local ACCESS development through endorsement of national level partners.
Broadening the initiative's base of support by seeking two foundations to fund ACCESS'
start-up costs. At this time, proposals have also been sent to the W.K. Kellogg Foundation,
the United Parcel Service Foundation, and the Schumann Foundation.
ACCESS significantly enhances our fund development capacity by supporting service
and graduates on a local level and demonstrating the national potential of the association.
ACCESS adds an attractive new dimension to AmeriCorps Alums, Inc. as it seeks
support through paid membership, annual giving campaigns and events, and foundation
support. Estimates on membership increases alone in the first full year of ACCESS will
pay for at least one third of the costs of maintaining staff support. With a national-local
structure providing access to AmeriCorps graduates, AmeriCorps Alums, Inc. will recruit
corporate sponsors to support these minor maintenance costs.
ACCESS will be constantly assessed to ensure effectiveness and continuous
improvement. Quantifiable objectives will be established at both the national and local
level for ACCESS activities. Stakeholders, including local alumni leaders, will receive
regular feedback instruments to identify best practices and effectiveness in meeting
program objectives. Evaluation instruments will be integrated into progamming that is
included in the ACCESS handbook (handbook costs include evaluation methods).
The Surdna Foundation's support enabled AmeriCorps Alums to develop from a
promising business plan to the national alumni association for AmeriCorps. Our
association has grown to become an important resource for AmeriCorps graduates.
The Surdna Foundation's support of ACCESS will transform the long-term benefit of
AmeriCorps to communities, service organizations, and alumni. ACCESS will provide
unprecedented support to the individual AmeriCorps graduate through a national,
systemic strategy. ACCESS also concurrently supports the Third Sector by fostering
multiple avenues for long-term civic involvement among thousands of alumni.
Thank you for your consideration of this request and for the Surdna Foundation's past
support. I look forward to hearing from you or your staff about this request.
Sincerely,
Vollie Melson

Dear Program Officer,
America's Promise is working with over three hundred communities to provide children
and youth access to five fundamental resources---a caring adult. safe places, a healthy
start, marketable skill through an effective education, and opportunity to serve--for
healthy youth development. Communities of Promise seck commitments so that all
children access to all five.
Member of national service and volunteers are key to the success of America's Promise.
This January five hundred AmeriCorps Promise Fellows will begin their service to
support state and local Promise activities. Additionally, the current one hundred thousand
AmeriCorps alums serve as a tremendous resource in achieving the goals of America'
Promise by: assisting with various tutoring and mentoring initiatives, providing
structured activities for youth, informing people of available healthcare, sharing their job
experience with young adults, and involving children and students in community service
projects.
ACCESS will provide the opportunity for America's Promise and AmeriCorps Alums to
work together toward their shared goal of providing opportunities for people from all
walks of life to engage in volunteer problem-solving that benefits our country's young
people. We have worked with AmeriCorps Alums, therefore, to create this project's
objectives.
America's Promise supports the AmeriCorps Alums, Inc. ACCESS proposal. ACCESS
provides a very efficient tool for linking AmeriCorps alums with local America's
Promise committees. Once AmeriCorps members serve they never stop seeking ways to
give back to their communities.
Thank you for your consideration of this initiative.
