Site Report Questions
Reports encompass performance measures, narrative reporting, and numeric reporting which are listed in more detail below. You are only required to report on the information relevant for your VISTA project (i.e. performance measures) and any other data you may collect for your organization’s purposes (i.e. demographic information of beneficiaries). Narrative reporting helps us to share our story and program impact with AmeriCorps. This year, we are aiming for depth over breadth in the narrative questions. Rather than respond to every question, we are asking that you choose one from each section and respond in greater detail.
Narrative Reporting
Section 1 - Choose one and respond in 2-3 paragraphs.
How has your AmeriCorps VISTA project improved your partnership/collaboration with other organizations? Were any new partnerships developed as a result of your AmeriCorps VISTA project?
What efforts has your AmeriCorps VISTA project taken to develop sustainability? How do you anticipate your organization moving away from needing AmeriCorps VISTA support for this specific project?
What challenges has your organization or VISTA project encountered during this reporting period? Include whether challenges have been resolved or what your plan is to address any unresolved issues.
Section 2 - Choose one and respond in 2-3 paragraphs.
Please highlight any accomplishments that occurred as a result of your AmeriCorps VISTA project that you would like to share with the Corporation for National and Community Service.
