Full Title: Number of veterans engaged in service opportunities (other than mentoring economically disadvantaged students).
Definition of Key Terms
Veterans: see definition under Measure 1.
Engaged in: not simply enrolled or signed up to participate; program should set a minimum level at start of year for what “engaged in” means and then count based on that level.
Service opportunities: helping others through actions other than mentoring disadvantaged youth; may be other veterans, people within the military community or external to it.
How to Calculate Measure/Collect Data
Unduplicated count of veterans participating in service opportunities either directly sponsored by the AmeriCorps project or for which the AmeriCorps project acted as a direct connection between the veteran and the service opportunity. Regardless of how many times the veteran participates or in how many different service opportunities, each veteran should only be counted once. It is suggested that service hours be tracked as well.
