2.5.1: Impact Measurement

CNCS will measure the impact of service on veterans as well as participants age 55 and older, including Senior Corps and encore volunteers.

Other Information:

The national service laws call for the inclusion of older adults in service. Congress set a goal that 10 percent of AmeriCorps competitive funding should support encore service programs. CNCS seeks to meet that 10 percent target and encourages programs that engage a significant number of participants age 55 or older to apply. As we continue to engage veterans and older adults in service, we will measure the psychosocial health impacts that they experience.
