Nsp Impact Report 2004

Impact Report 2003 - 2004

Letter from the CEO and Co-Founder What is it to have "a calling"? That burning aspiration that won't die down until it is explored. "I want to be that doctor in a white coat I see on TV." "I want to enrich the world with my music." Increasingly, it seems "a calling" is considered an indulgent fantasy, but not something to be taken seriously. How impractical it seems when that person craving the white doctor's coat is a poor 35-year-old woman with only a high school degree and three children to feed. What a terrible waste it seems for a college-educated Biology major to decide that his true love is music, and that what he really wants is to play in a band. I find it endlessly inspiring to think of NSP as being in the business of addressing callings. Where else could that woman come and confide in someone her dreams of pursuing medicine without being laughed out the door? Without being told that all she can hope for is life as a prep cook or a janitor? And who could better understand her hopes and dreams than that idealistic student with his own seemingly unattainable goals of playing music? And so the magical connection between NSP clients and volunteers begins. When you then add to the mix NSP's intensive volunteer training, our state-of-the-art data management systems, and our growing network of partner agencies and employers, you have the makings for true success. Throughout the following pages of this year's Impact Report, you'll see just how much our clients, volunteers, partners, and donors have accomplished this year. Since last year, we have doubled our client numbers, opened six new offices, and contributed over $1,000,000 worth of volunteer services to our local office communities. As you read through all of these impressive accomplishments, I hope you'll keep in mind that student and client connection, which is at the heart of the NSP model. Think back to that first person who took you seriously when you deigned to dream and have faith in the fact that, thanks to your support this past year, hundreds of students in NSP offices served that role for someone today. With gratitude,

KIRSTEN E. LODAL

About NSP Highlights: PY 2004 Measuring Our Impact Voices of NSP Local Office Reporting Financial Review NSP's Network

WHAT WE DO NSP operates a national network of resource centers (local offices), staffed by student volunteers from area colleges and universities. Working one-on-one with low-income community members (clients), NSP volunteers provide intensive on-site and referral services that enable clients to: locate employment; secure affordable housing, health care, childcare, and other services; and pursue long-term career and life goals. Perhaps most importantly, NSP volunteers provide clients with hours of listening and support services that are rarely available in other service agencies.

HOW IT WORKS THE NSP LOCAL OFFICE NSP local offices are located in impoverished areas (accessible to campuses) that exhibit high levels of unemployment, homelessness, and other pervasive barriers to work, education, and service access. Local offices are open to the community from 40-50 hours each week. Offices are typically situated in community centers that house several other agencies.

CLIENTS & VOLUNTEERS

LOCAL DIRECTORS & SITE COORDINATORS

COMMUNITY PARTNERS & LOCAL ADVISORY BOARD

Clients NSP's target client base consists of individuals aged 16-65 who lack sufficient access to the employment opportunities and social services available to them. NSP's clientele is generally low-income and/or homeless, an even mix of males and females, and exceedingly diverse in race, language spoken, religion, and ethnicity.

NATIONAL OFFICE

Community Partners NSP enlists a network of local specialists through both its partnerships and its Local Advisory Boards to connect clients to the services they need. For example, NSP does not provide childcare, but each NSP office forms partnerships with local childcare providers that offer their services to NSP clients as relevant situations arise.

Local Advisory Boards All NSP offices are supported by Local Advisory Boards, made up of community leaders within the human services, government, education, and private sectors. NSP's Local Advisory Boards ensure that each local office reflects its host community's culture and priorities.

Volunteer Leadership Each NSP local office is staffed by: 2-4 Local Directors - Student leaders who are appointed for oneyear terms and provide management and vision for an office. 1 Site Coordinator - A one-year full-time fellow (funded through the AmeriCorps*VISTA program) who provides capacity building support to the local offices to ensure efficient volunteer performance. 15-50 Student Volunteers - Students who work directly with NSP clients to provide assistance in identifying appropriate services.

New National Partnerships NSP volunteers gather at the Fifth Anniversary February Summit

Six New Offices NSP Baltimore, Chicago, Philadelphia West, Philadelphia North, and Philadelphia Northwest opened their doors to the community, serving 826 clients during PY'04. After several months of preparation, NSP's 15th office in Somerville, MA, opened and began serving the greater Boston community in September 2004.

NSP forged ground-breaking national partnerships with the Children's Defense Fund, IRS VITA (Volunteer Income Tax Assistance) sites, the Campus Opportunity and Outreach League/Idealist.org, and Youth Service America. NSP strengthened its relationships with the Department of Labor and the AmeriCorps*VISTA program.

The Jefferson Award for Public Service In June 2004, Co-Founders Kirsten Lodal and Brian Kreiter received one of four Jefferson Awards for Public Service: the Samuel S. Beard Award for Greatest Public Service by an Individual 35 or Under. Other recipients included U.S. Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O'Connor, documentary filmmaker Ken Burns, and civil rights leader Rev. Fred L. Shuttlesworth. Corresponding with this award, NSP launched a new website, unveiling a new look for the organization Co-Founders Kirsten Lodal and Brian Kreiter with (www.nspnet.org). Jefferson Award namesake, Samuel S. Beard.

Focus on Training NSP Northwest-Philadelphia office opens its doors.

The summer of 2004 was marked by three intense training events for NSP's local leadership. Summer Director Training kick started the season by preparing students to lead the offices during the busy summer months. Site Coordinator Training The largest to-date, integrating a total of 19 AmeriCorps*VISTA members to serve full-time in NSP's 15 local offices and the national office. The August Leadership Conference gave local offices the opportunity to complete strategic planning for the months ahead, transition knowledge of summer activities, and thank the outgoing Site Coordinators.

PY 04

NSP achieves new depth of client service. In PY'04, NSP's local offices improved performance in all areas. With only a 20% increase in NSP's total program budget, the organization saw a 90% increase in client numbers, as well as similar spikes in the numbers of client meetings and volunteer hours. On average, each NSP client had at least 3 meetings with an NSP local office, demonstrating an encouraging trend towards the development of long-term relationships with clients.

NSP serves the full breadth of client needs. Services rendered shows both the variety of services NSP offices provide, as well as the number of individual services rendered to clients within each service area. On average, each client sought assistance in at least four different service areas in PY'04 (i.e. employment, housing, legal assistance, and childcare), and received seven unique services from NSP volunteers (i.e. housing placement, resume written, successful referral to job training program).

5 Year Totals Proven demand for NSP's services across the country. The steady rise in client numbers reflects the demand for NSP's services amongst community members. Overwhelming increases in volunteer hours, balanced with less notable increases in volunteer numbers, indicate the focus on recruiting a smaller, more committed volunteer corps. Nonetheless, volunteer recruitment remains an area of ongoing focus, as NSP prepares for a continued increase in client flow.

MEASURING OUR IMPACT:

A Focus on Outcomes SEPTEMBER 2003 - AUGUST 2004

During the 2004 Program Year, performance measurement ranked first among NSP's programmatic priorities. Student leaders continue to be held directly accountable for managing office operations and tracking performance metrics, thereby increasing both their sense of empowerment as leaders and their responsibility for the growth of the organization as a whole. With an eye towards increasing the number and quality of evaluation measures, the organization embarked on three key initiatives this year:

Upgrading the CORI System

A sample new client entry on the CORI system.

Along with NSP's corporate website, the CORI (Central Online Resource Index) System also received a face-lift.

Client Satisfaction Survey In February 2004, NSP unveiled a new qualitative evaluation measure in the form of the Client Satisfaction Survey. The survey is administered to clients after their third meeting.

Local Office Strategic Planning The National Office implemented a comprehensive local office strategic planning process in order to press office growth from year-to-year.

After each client meeting, volunteers must record services rendered. Pictured here is a sampling of housing-related services.

Baltimore

"I just know the NSP volunteers believe in me. That really makes me want to work toward something. Here I am, a 46-year-old man, becoming Internet and word processing proficient. I now have even more skills to offer potential employers." —NSP CLIENT

Bronx

"NSP gives students a chance to explore the community beyond their schools and interact with the people in that community. I like knowing that I'm not just making an impact at Fordham University, but also in the world outside of it." — JESSICA LEVINE, NSP-Bronx volunteer

Cambridge

"NSP is my connection to the rest of the world. It makes me feel broader, more human than mathematical problem sets and Harvard Square. When you succeed in helping someone, it makes your day. When you can't, you're at least learning something you won't find in the classroom." — PING LIU, NSP-Cambridge volunteer

Chicago

"It's amazing to watch some volunteers discover the face of poverty for the first time while others, like myself, are finally equipped to help struggling families like their own." — CRISPINA OJEDA, NSP-Chicago Site Coordinator

Durham

New Haven

"At NSP, people who don't feel comfortable going other places because of their education or appearance can come and get help, find some leads, and, most importantly, reestablish hope about getting something done." — ROY, NSP-New Haven client

N. Philly / N.W. Philly / W. Philly

"I've lived in Philly all my life, and I had seen poverty, but I never understood the problems behind poverty and homelessness until I became involved with NSP." — DELILAH BAINES, Former NSP-Philadelphia North Local Director

Pittsburgh

"The student leaders have taken NSP-Pittsburgh from an organization I rarely heard about to an organization with a strengthened and expanded board that is increasingly intertwined with diverse nonprofit organizations, social service agencies, and communities throughout Pittsburgh." — ERIC HARTMAN, Community Partner

San Antonio

"NSP has become that all-purpose putty, re-forming and fitting into needed areas. We have worked hard to expand our services so that we can be the filler so professional social workers, overloaded with case loads, can refer their clients to us when they don't have the time." — PATRICIA FOO, NSP Board of Directors, student representative

"NSP does not focus or try to help people in only one aspect or social problem; instead, we work with people one-on-one to help them identify all of the aspects in their life in which they need help. Then, we show them how to find the recourses they need to solve their problems." — MARGARITA MARRERO, NSP-San Antonio volunteer

Evanston

Somerville

"The momentum the Tufts students and surrounding community leaders have created by bringing NSP to Somerville is really amazing. It is really an idea whose time has come." — MEG NEWMAN, Former NSP-Cambridge Site Coordinator

Washington, DC

"At NSP, I've gained a new sense of mutuality for those I serve. I no longer see my service as a gracious act of benevolence, but rather a personal responsibility." — KYLE GERRITY, NSP-DC volunteer

Financial Review NSP's work is supported by the valued contributions of foundations, corporations, and hundreds of individuals across the country who are committed to their communities and to the young leaders who, through NSP, have started to care for them. NSP relies on its private donors to keep its 15 local offices open and running full-time, year round. Our donors forge strong connections with the organization that facilitate the success of each clientvolunteer relationship. These relationships result in a long-term and lasting impact on both our clients and our student volunteers. Honoring donor investment, NSP delivers high impact service to its communities, serving over 3,000 clients and engaging nearly 400 student leaders on an annual basis.

Last Year in Development Chicago Welcoming Party, May 2004. Hosted by Adele and John Simmons at their home in Lincoln Park, this event celebrated NSP's expansion into the city of Chicago while bringing together both long-time and new friends of the organization in an effort to raise support for NSP's work.
