Understanding the Big Picture: What We Know about Strong Veteran and Military Family Program Design

In 2011, the Corporation funded a field assessment of almost 100 AmeriCorps State and National, AmeriCorps VISTA and Senior Corps grantees operating Veteran and Military Family (VMF) programs. The study collected critical baseline data on current VMF activities and identified programs and practices with the potential for success. Join your colleagues, CNCS staff and other subject matter experts in a series of webinars that highlight the findings of this study and explore what they mean to you as a National Service program or project. This first 67-minute webinar provided a general overview of the study and its findings. Subsequent webinars will explore specific issues and strategies for identifying local needs and assets, measuring program outcomes and identifying evidence-based practices. Strengthen your program while helping to build a body of knowledge and practice.
