State Commission

UServeUtah, the Utah Commission on Service & Volunteerism, manages 12 AmeriCorps State programs with 1,459 AmeriCorps membersserving across the state addressing critical needs in the areas of education, health, environment, economic opportunity, disaster andcapacity building. In the 2014-2015 program year, more than 11,000 students were tutored and mentored with 90 percent showingimproved academic performance as a result of AmeriCorps program efforts. In addition, more than 15,000 individuals received access tohealth care resources through service provided by AmeriCorps members. Along with AmeriCorps program outreach, oversight, training andtechnical assistance, UServeUtah serves as the state’s central coordinating body for service and volunteerism, and is responsible fordeveloping, 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 beincluded and active, and build social and emotional skills. Last year, Playworks AmeriCorps members helped more than 5,000 studentshave a richer learning experience; 70 percent of these children became more academically engaged. The students had an increased senseof belonging among their peers and a better connection with adults. Teachers in these schools report that students gained an average of21 hours of instruction time over the course of the year as a result of fewer behavioral disruptions. That is a $55,962 return on investmentper 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 lastyear, complete environmental stewardship projects throughout the state. Last year alone, AmeriCorps members improved more than 150miles of trails and rivers and nearly 4,300 acres of parks and public land. The members taught more than 50,000 students about energyefficiency and environmentally-conscious behavior. Studies show that the AmeriCorps members gain the skills to be engaged andknowledgeable 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 environmentalconservation projects in 2015. AmeriCorps members built and maintained trails, improved waterways, and removed invasive species. Overthe course of the past year, members surveyed and maintained 58.4 miles of waterway, improved or restored 103 acres of land, and built ormaintained 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 47youth, 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 inJuly 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 clinicthrough the Federal Torts Claims Act. This will provide savings of well over $100,000 per year as the clinic does not have to purchasemalpractice insurance for more than 50 volunteer medical providers. Jeff developed a quality assurance plan and a system forcredentialing and privileging volunteers to meet the requirements to apply for malpractice coverage for the clinic’s volunteer medicalproviders. Once established, Jeff transferred responsibility for the quality assurance plan and the credentialing program to the clinic’sMedical Advisory Committee and staff members. Obtaining free coverage has been a long time goal of the clinic since the high cost ofmalpractice insurance is unaffordable for nonprofit clinics and lack of malpractice coverage is the chief barrier to recruiting volunteermedical providers. AmeriCorps VISTA member Pati Comes helped bring in more than $100,000 in new revenue in 2015. This has allowedthe 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 newpatients.

AmeriCorps VISTA



Two AmeriCorps VISTA members serving at People Helping People as fundraising coordinators helped generate a substantial amount ofresources during their year of service to expand the reach of the organization into new areas of the state of Utah. People Helping People is anonprofit that serves women and children living in areas throughout the Wasatch Front. By offering job training and developmentprograms, the organization helps women and their families move out of poverty. The AmeriCorps VISTA members created a tracking systemfor grant writing research and submissions. They also wrote more than 60 letters of intent and submitted more than 70 grant proposals togrow the program to serve more individuals. The members raised more than $550,000 in grant funds and $12,000 in in-kind donationsduring 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 LakeCounty and along the Wasatch Front. Their mission is to help people step out of homelessness and back into the community. According toUtah’s Homeless Point-In-Time Count, an estimated 13,621 people in Utah experienced homelessness in 2014. Increasingly, the peopleexperiencing homelessness are families with children. An AmeriCorps NCCC team was requested to join in The Road Home’s povertyalleviation efforts. Over the course of their round, the team checked guests into their rooms each night and sorted through 2,310 pounds offood items and 7,322 pounds of clothing items that had been donated to the shelter’s warehouse. The team also conducted 150 surveyswith residents of the shelter, which were geared towards helping the city improve and expand future services. All of these actions aimed tohave residents return to the shelter on a nightly basis and utilize the services that the shelter provided. This, in turn, aids in Salt LakeCity’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-incomefamilies in Utah. Founded in 1995, the organization seeks to build, renovate, and preserve homes for working families in need throughpartnership with volunteers in its communities. During the spring of 2015, the service of an AmeriCorps NCCC team was requested tosupport building efforts, supply warehouse services, and conduct community outreach. The team served in the Habitat for HumanityReStore for one week of their round, helping customers, painting the ReStore wall, and planting flowers in eight planters that AmeriCorpsNCCC members placed outside of the ReStore. The team also removed dead wood from a total of 5.6 acres of two homeowners’ properties tohelp prevent the spread of any future fires, and restored hiking trail behind one of the properties. As a result of the service that AmeriCorpsNCCC members performed, the community of Park City has become more aware of Habitat for Humanity, the organization’s goals, and ofenergy-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 scoresconsistently 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 theremainder of their schooling. The Foster Grandparent Program of Northern Utah pioneered working with local school districts to trackDIBELS test scores for students tutored by Foster Grandparents. They did so by working hand in hand with seven school districts toimplement a method to track the pre- and post- DIBELS scores of each child tutored by a Foster Grandparent. The superintendents of thethree largest school districts select district administrators to serve on the advisory council. These individuals have been key in formulatingthe data collection process. In 2015, 89 percent, or 1,073 children tutored showed improvement in their academic scores by the end of theyear 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 volunteersdelivered more than 11,000 meals to 200 seniors, providing the frail and homebound elderly with nutrition and socialization. For many, theRSVP volunteer is the only person that the homebound senior sees on a daily basis, increasing their independence and sense of socialconnectedness. Some of the Salt Lake County RSVP volunteers are also meal delivery team leaders. In addition to delivering meals theyrecruit, schedule and provide training for other volunteers on their delivery team. RSVP volunteers also serve as backup volunteers. Toensure that all meal recipients get their meal every day there is a great need for reliable backup volunteers. There is a team of RSVPbackup volunteers that are fast responders and willing to deliver, even when called at the last minute. The Salt Lake County Meals onWheels 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 effortsof the RSVP volunteers that play a variety of volunteer roles to support the Meals on Wheels program.

Senior Corps RSVP



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 herservice as a Senior Companion due to progression of her Alzheimer’s disease. She missed being in the community and the ability to serveothers. With the opportunity to volunteer with Meals on Wheels with her Senior Companion she said, “This has given me my life back. I feellike I’m contributing to the community again.” There is a growing trend in Utah that former Senior Companions who are no longer able toserve now receive the benefits of being visited by a Senior Companion. Former Senior Companions with Salt Lake County Aging and AdultServices, Weber Human Services, and others have been able to benefit as a Senior Companion client after years of service.

First Step House’s intervention model is grounded in research aboutwhat works to reduce recidivism. The program name is REACH, whichstands for Recovery, Engagement, Assessment, Career Development,and Housing. Recovery means recovery from criminogenic patterns anda substance use disorder. The REACH program is built upon theframework of risk-need-responsivity (RNR) principles. The centraltenants of RNR are: (1) High intensity treatment is best suited foroffenders at high risk for reoffending. (2) It is best not to mix high riskand low risk populations. (3) Treatment should target dynamiccriminogenic needs that are associated with recidivism. (4)Responsivity refers to matching treatment according to theindividual’s ability and learning style. FSH's program builds upon thisframework by addressing the major criminogenic factors that have thegreatest impact on reducing recidivism, including antisocialbehaviors, antisocial personality/negative emotionality, antisocialattitudes, antisocial cognitions, and substance abuse.

The State of Utah Governor's Office of Planning and Budget isdeveloping a feasibility study to use a Pay for Success approach toaddress recidivism by targeting offenders with co-occurring substanceabuse and mental illness. The State of Utah has made a largeinvestment in criminal justice system reforms, including partneringwith the Pew Charitable Trust and U.S. Department of Justice as partof Justice Reinvestment Initiative. The proposed program is innovativebecause it recognizes that a mental health and substance abuseintervention for those with a co-occurring diagnosis dramaticallyreduces the risk to re-offend.
