VII.2.b: Data Sharing
Improve Data Sharing to Enhance Collaboration. Other Information:
By improving transparency, we can also stimulate collaboration. National service happens on the local level, and programs
will be more effective at solving problems if they can work together. A precursor to local collaboration is knowing what other
programs are nearby. For example, if an AmeriCorps program wants to plan a service day with other national service programs
in its hometown, it needs to be able to find contact information. While the National Service State Profiles on the Corporation’s
website currently list programs by city, they don’t have contact information or program descriptions. The Corporation will
work to improve its display of grantee information on its website to make it easier to learn about what programs are operating
in states and cities and how to get in touch with them. In addition, through the first‐ever Civic Health Assessment to be
released in the fall of 2010, we will be providing extensive data about a variety of indicators about forms of civic engagement
beyond volunteering.
