RSVP of Collier County has been an active volunteer program since 1998 and its longevity has garnered an abundance of local community support. This support is demonstrated in ways such as the donation of community clubhouse space to host the Bone Builders class at over 14 different community sites, the involvement in volunteer recognition events by numerous local businesses through generous donations, National Service Recognition Day celebration and the Collier County Board of County Commissioners' willingness to match the grantor's funds. Since the inception of RSVP in Collier County approximately 2,100 volunteers have contributed over 1 million hours at 153 different volunteer stations across Collier County. According to the IRS, this equates to a savings of$30.4 million to our county because of the time, talent and energy our volunteers dedicate to making a difference. RSVP of Collier proposes an estimated 123 volunteers will serve during this grant cycle. The primary focus areas for RSVP Collier County for 2018-2021 is Healthy Futures and Education 74 volunteers will serve in these areas. RSVP will place Healthy Future volunteers at Bone Builder sites, Tai Chi, Area Agency on Aging for Southwest Florida, Naples Players, Foundation for Developmentally Disabled, and Riviera Gulf Estates. Education volunteers will be placed at Literacy Volunteers, Champions For Learning and Boys and Girls Club. In addition, the Collier County RSVP program will also provide volunteers in the focus areas of Veteran/Military Families through the Collier County Veteran Transportation office. Disaster Services volunteers will be placed at the Salvation Army and 23 volunteers will be placed in other community priorities. In addition in the area of Economic Opportunity 1 volunteer will be placed assisting with VITA tax preparation. At the end of the three-year grant, the following Corporation for National and Community Service (CNCS) outcomes will be met in the following areas: (a) improving academic engagement in the number of students in mentoring/tutoring programs, and (b)increased social ties/perceived social supports and (c) outcome based Bone Builders program. The CNCS federal investment of$62,022 will be supplemented by $26,581 of cash and in-kind donations each year. Strengthening Communities Collier County is located on the southern end of Florida's Gulf Coast with a population of 378,488 according to the 2018 US Census Fact Finder. Naples is one of the wealthiest cities in the United States, with the sixth-highest per capita income in the country in 2012, and the second-highest For Official Use Only Narratives proportion of millionaires per capita in the US. Real estate is among the most expensive in the country, with houses for sale in excess of $40 million. Even though Collier County has tremendous wealth there is also tremendous need in the area of education and health. As background, Collier County is historically known as a popular spot for retirees. The Florida Department of Elder Affairs (FDOE) reports in 2018 that 32.2% of Collier's population is comprised of individuals aged 65 and over, and this number is growing. In 2018, there were a reported 4,366,361 Florida residents over the age of 65. Despite the clear majority living comfortably, there are a growing number of seniors who are economically disadvantaged, frail and/or isolated. According to the FDOE in 2010 (most recent report), over 1 million Florida residents aged 6o and over are living alone. The Spotlight on Poverty and Opportunity (2017) reports that ii% of Florida seniors are living in poverty. According to AARP one in three older Floridians rely on Social Security as their only source of income. Living off a limited income impedes a senior's ability to receive needed services and housing. Collier County recently conducted a study with the Urban Land Institute (2017). This study indicated 40% of the population (58,685 households) living here are spending more than what is affordable on housing. A household that spends more than 3o% of their gross income on housing at a poverty level. Thirty-five (35) % of seniors in Collier County pay more than 3o% of their income for housing. Of those, 18% spend more than 5o%. The average monthly social security benefit for women living alone in Collier County is $1,422. Retirement income is limited to social security for many and can be significantly reduced when a husband dies. In Collier County senior women are emerging as a small but critical subset of homelessness. Collier County Community and Human Services Division provides direct and indirect services for Collier County's economically disadvantaged residents. The CHS Division, Services for Seniors Program has been the lead agency in Collier County for elder services for thirty-nine (39) years. This program serves some of Collier County's most vulnerable seniors and last year served 273 seniors through case management, 483 adults were served with prescription drugs and medical services and 66,348 meals were served. Not only does Collier County have a segment of seniors with critical needs with housing and social services but there is also a critical need to address the health care of our seniors. Focus Area 1 - Healthy Futures: With the need for socialization and health care critical for seniors, Collier County has determined that one of its two primary focus areas are Healthy Futures with programs in Access to Care and Aging in Place. For Official Use Only Narratives To address Healthy Futures Access to Care, we will continue our highly successful Bone Builder program throughout this grant cycle utilizing 5o volunteers. This has long been a solid component of RSVP of Collier County, originally developed from the Strong Living Program of Tufts University. Since its inception, the program has grown to over 117 trainers and 900 participants, and in fact many participants sign up to become trainers themselves. When followed diligently, the Bone Builders program and exercises can help the body to increase bone density and reverse the effects of osteoporosis. According to the American Society of Bone and Mineral Research, an estimated 4o million older adults have osteoporosis, and an even more staggering 43.4% suffer from low bone mass. Regularly attending Bone Builders classes can contribute to increased mobility, reduced chances of falling and a greater sense of confidence. In addition we have introduced a new evidence based Program, Tai Chi for Arthritis for Falls Prevention. Developed by Dr. Paul Lam, the program utilizes Tai Chi's Sun style for its ability to improve relation, balance and its ease of use for older adults. The movements are taught to both left and right sides and with turns to move forward and backward to improve mobility and offer a variety of combinations. This class is supported by a partnership with Area Agency on Aging for Southwest Florida . They will provide other evidence- based training to Collier County. We currently have 2 volunteers trained for Powerful Tools for Caregivers leader training. In 2019, forty-three (43) volunteers contributed 2,63o hours teaching the Bone Builders class. RSVP of Collier County currently partners with 14 local community centers to provide the Bone Builders Program free of charge. Bone Builder classes are now conducted 2 to 3 times weekly, and average approximately 96o classes annually. This allows almost 900 seniors to participate in the Bone Builder classes. According to our 2019 Collier County, outcome study, RSVP Osteoporosis Exercise Program Functional Capacity Survey, 95% of participants indicated they had seen improvement in strength and state of mind, 94% reported that they had seen improvements in their balance and flexibility and 9o% reported improvements with their energy levels. Often, seniors may not have the ability to access a group exercise program due either to transportation or finances. The Bone Builders Program is open to the public with no requirement for participants and is offered at numerous convenient locations. Bone Builders is not just an exercise program, it also offers seniors in our community social benefits. The Bone Builders Program provides the opportunity for companionship and socialization; two factors that greatly contribute to overall For Official Use Only Narratives wellness. In order for seniors to avoid isolation and depression, the ability to connect with others is crucial. Data collected from our annual survey of participants has shown a need for local bone strengthening exercise programs, and individual participant results support our successful outcomes. To facilitate Healthy Futures through Aging in Place activities, Collier County offers transportation and companionship services through the Rivera Gulf Estates, and the STARability, with fifteen (15) volunteers. The FDOE reports that in Collier County, 23,451 seniors live alone, and only 40.8% of this population has a driver's license. Unfortunately, Collier County's alternative transportation services do not serve every area of the county leaving many seniors without the ability to grocery shop or meet with other seniors to socialize and communicate or attend medical appointments. According to AARP an estimated one in five adults over age 5o are affected by isolation. Volunteers assist clients by driving them to doctor's appointments, grocery shopping and putting the groceries away, phone calls to check in on them and just a friendly visit. Volunteers assist adults with disabilities through the STARability. Volunteers with the STARability assist clients with life skills, community enrichment events, socialization skills and offer companionship through activities like arts and crafts and bowling. To measure, collect, and manage outcome and output data for volunteers participating in the Healthy Futures Access to Care and Aging in Place, RSVP of Collier County maintains an attendance/timesheet information at each site. Annual volunteer and volunteer station surveys are also utilized to regularly monitor volunteer satisfaction levels. The outcome of success for Access to Care, Bone Builders and Tai Chi are both evidence based activities from research at Tufts University and National Council on Aging, Tai Chi for Arthritis. RSVP Bone Builder and Tai Chi participants will be surveyed on an annual basis to measure program satisfaction and to gather outcome data on improved health and quality of life. The RSVP Project Director has consistently conducted the annual survey at all Bone Builder and Tai Chi locations to determine satisfaction, success and to measure the overall outcomes with the program and the benefit to the participants as well as the benefit to the community. To determine the outcome performance results for Aging in Place Companionship and Transportation activities, the volunteers will report the number of adults with disabilities who have reported increased social ties and support. The RSVP volunteers will provide each program participant with a survey annually to measure their satisfaction with their engagement with perceived and increased social ties. Focus Area 2 - Education: The need for education volunteers is increasing nationwide but particularly in Collier to address disadvantaged children and youth and those non-English speaking students. According to the For Official Use Only Narratives Spotlight on Poverty and Opportunity report from 2017 there are over 1 million Florida children receiving food stamps (SNAP), over 2 million children enrolled in Medicaid and CHIP and over 1.2 million Black and Hispanic children below 200% of the poverty. Thirty-seven percent (37.8%) of working families are under 200% of the poverty line. The School District of Collier County serves more than 47,000 total students. English is not the first language for nearly 16% of their students with more than 6,300 (K-12) students in the English Language Learners program. Collectively, these students speak 104 different heritage languages and hail from 76 different countries of origin. More than 53% of their students live in non-English homes, where English is not the first language and sometimes isn't even spoken. More than 63% of Collier County students are economically needy. To address the need for English literacy tutoring and mentoring RSVP will target those students from Title 1 schools by partnering with 3 stations to provide tutors and mentors to school aged children utilizing 6 volunteers. The stations are located at the Boys and Girls Club of Collier County (BGCC), Champions For Learning and the Literacy Volunteers of Collier County (LVCC). The BGCC serves 3,00o children and teens, ages 6 to 18, in their clubs and afterschool programs. Nearly 83% of members receive free or reduced lunch, 48% of members come from homes where English is not the main spoken language, 28% of members live in single parent households, and 63% of members live at, or below, poverty level. The BGCC provides the opportunity for RSVP volunteers to choose to work with elementary or high school age students, through the tutoring or mentoring program, respectively. Tutoring volunteers work with small groups of 3-4 children at a time from grades i-5 with their homework and reading comprehension. The mentoring program matches RSVP volunteers with high school aged students to assist with college and scholarship applications, resume building, and career advice. The LVCC has been a premier provider of literacy tutoring in Collier County for over twenty-five years. Services offered include: one-on-one tutoring, small group classes, interactive English Language Learning Laboratory, and a Family Literacy Program. RSVP Tutors will prepare lesson plans for each session and meet their students once or twice a week for at least one hour. One-to-one tutoring takes place in local libraries, community centers, church facilities, educational and social service centers in Collier County as well as the LVCC offices or any public place that is convenience for the student and the tutor. Champions For Learning matches up high school students with mentors to assist them with college and career counseling. The Naples Player's, a new station provides acting for Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and Sensory For Official Use Only Narratives Processing Disorder (SPD) and offers a safe and sensitive environment where students learn teamwork, patience and communication through theatre games. Annual volunteer and volunteer station surveys are also utilized to regularly monitor volunteer satisfaction levels. To measure, collect and manage the outcome data on the number of students participating who demonstrate improved academic engagement and RSVP collects this data from the stations and the volunteers to determine our outcome success. The reports from the stations are based on information reported by the Collier County School system and through report cards provided by the students to the stations. To measure, collect, and manage volunteer data, RSVP of Collier County maintains an attendance/timesheet information at each site. This log is maintained by the station captain at each location. Timesheets are reported by the station captain on a quarterly basis to RSVP Project Director. Other Focus Areas: While not primary focus areas with measurable outcomes, Collier County RSVP will also focus on serving other designated focus areas. Collier RSVP will measure the satisfaction of our volunteers and stations for each area and will annually collect output data on the participants served. Veterans and Military Families: The RSVP program is instrumental in assisting veterans with access to healthcare. Fifteen (15) RSVP Volunteer drivers, most of whom are Veterans themselves, assist with our Veterans Transportation Program. The drivers transport Veterans to the three VA medical centers to ensure that these Veterans receive quality healthcare, located in Cape Coral, St. Petersburg, and Miami at no cost to the Veteran. The drivers often form personal relationships with their fellow Veteran passengers, staying in touch and providing moral support. Output data is collected for each volunteer and each veteran transportation participant. Annual volunteer and volunteer station surveys are utilized to regularly monitor volunteer and station satisfaction levels with the RSVP program. Each volunteer veteran driver is provided with comment cards for each veteran passenger who participates in the program to determine their satisfaction with the service and the overall benefit that the program provides to them to assist with meeting their medical needs as well as offering them companionship and transportation. Disaster: The year 2017 will always be remembered in Collier County for disasters, but most notably Hurricane Irma. Much of Collier County was spared flooding from Irma, except for Everglades City, Chokoloskee and Goodland areas where the combination of an approximate 5-foot storm surge and For Official Use Only Narratives wind speeds measuring approximately 140 mph hit hard. Collier County experienced wild fires in 2017 burning approximately 6,500 acres causing mandatory evacuations of many community and schools and necessitating multiple road closures. The 2017 rainy season was the wettest on record since the South Water Management District began keeping records in 1932, causing localized flooding in many communities. In Collier County io volunteers will be trained at the Salvation Army Disaster Team to assist in emergency response and to work the Salvation Army food Canteen. Output data will be collected on a regular basis on the number of individuals reporting increased disaster readiness. This will be done by way of surveys at the end of each training class. While Collier County RSVP focuses on concentrating on our efforts with those primary focus areas, many seniors and stations also benefit from RSVP volunteers. These opportunities provide our volunteers with experiences and an opportunity to share their knowledge and skills with a wide range of citizens from youth to the aged. Other Community Priorities: There are many agencies/volunteer jobs that are making an impact in the community, but are not part of the CNCS focus areas or capacity building. Some of these agencies lack the ability to report certain outcomes and it would be a burden on them to report, but these stations and volunteers are still important to our community. These stations include Panira Health Care Clinic, Habitat for Humanity of Collier County, Harry Chapin Food Bank and St. Vincent de Paul. RSVP will place twenty-three (23) volunteers in these program areas. Volunteers at Panira Health Care Clinic provide reception, administrative and medical support. Panira Health Care provides quality medical care and services at affordable rates for low-income and/or the uninsured. Volunteers are the first person that the patients meet, they provide them with a warm and comfortable atmosphere at their time of need. Habitat for Humanity volunteers assist people in the building of homes and administrative support. Habitat for Humanity believes a decent home provides strength, stability and independent that families need. Volunteers at Harry Chapin Food sort and pack bags for distribution to over 150 partner agencies. In addition they provided bagged meals to seniors with their Care to Share Program. Volunteers at St. Vincent de Paul provide weekly meals to homebound seniors. These meals are delivered once a week to the clients. These meals provide lunch and dinner in frozen form so the clients just need to heat them up to have a nutritious meal. To determine the number of participants served in the other community priority locations the RSVP For Official Use Only Narratives project director will annually survey these participants to ensure that we have achieved the target goals for other community priorities. Collier County RSVP manages outputs for all focus areas and outcomes, as applicable. All volunteer stations are required to maintain a volunteer log and timesheets, maintained by the station captain. Timesheets are provided on a quarterly basis to RSVP Project Director, which assists in regularly reporting of the number of hours for each volunteer and the number of clients they assisted in Volunteer Reporter, a volunteer management software database. Volunteer Reporter offers an array of features that helps create custom reports, spreadsheets, templates, mail merge capability, and volunteer profiles. The system stores information about each volunteer station and ensures each volunteer is only counted once when assigned to a service activity. All stations receive an annual survey and this data is used to make improvements in volunteer assignments and training. The annual volunteer survey is used to make improvements in our overall program administration. Through these surveys RSVP Collier has implemented a veteran recognition event and started a series of informative and educational seminars. Improvements have also been made to our placement process and our recognition events. Recruitment and Development Training is a key element in our successful program. The identification of appropriate volunteer stations is the first step in creating high quality volunteer assignments. Once identified, these assignments allow volunteers to use their experiences, skills and abilities to improve our community. RSVP of Collier County partners with local agencies or "stations" based on the community need they serve and their alignment with CNCS' focus areas. The RSVP Project Director helps participating agencies identify appropriate volunteer assignments that address critical community needs and align with CNCS direction. The Project Director dedicates significant time and effort on recruiting and developing the program. Once a potential volunteer indicates an interest in volunteering the RSVP Project Director meets with them to explain the program and review all the Volunteering opportunities. Each prospective volunteer completes the RSVP Registration Form, the registration form collects basic demographic information and includes an interest checklist. The checklist assists the RSVP Project Director in determining the right placement for the volunteer. Once the potential volunteer determines the station they are most interested in and completes the required application, they tour the station and meet with the Station manager along with the RSVP Project Director. The volunteer then must review the RSVP Volunteer Handbook. Depending on the station they may be required to have a criminal For Official Use Only Narratives background check. Once the background comes back clear the volunteer is ready to start. Once a volunteer is placed at their station the training consists of either on the job training or a formal training process. Each volunteer station has their individual training process. If possible, RSVP will match a seasoned volunteer with a new volunteer to assist with acclimating the new volunteer to the station and its requirements. After the volunteer is placed and volunteering for two to three weeks the Project Director checks to ensure they are satisfied with their volunteer station. If they are not, the Project Director will work with the volunteer to provide other volunteer placement options. With the ever-changing demographics of Collier County, the RSVP Project Director must monitor the community demographics. According to the United States Census, Collier County's population is 378,488, with 89.9% White, 7.4% Black, and 28.2% Hispanic or Latino. According to the FDEO, the demographics of our seniors are: 96.1% are White, 2.9% are Black and 1.o% are other minorities. DOEA also states that a total of 28,221 Veterans ages 45 and older call Collier County home. The demographics of Collier's current RSVP volunteers align with state data, and our volunteer base is quite diverse. We have 31 Veteran and Veteran Military Family Volunteers, 1 disabled, 2 Hispanic or Latino, o African American, and 25 volunteers 55 to 7o years of age. Collier County RSVP program has an aging volunteer base with currently 91 of our volunteers over the age of 7o. To further increase the diversity of Collier's RSVP Program, the Project Director and Advisory Council members will continue to partner with agencies that serve a wide variety of racial and ethnic backgrounds. These agencies include the Southwest Florida Hispanic Chamber of Commerce, and the Collier County Black Affairs Advisory Board. The RSVP Project Director has a wide array of recruiting methods including coordinating with local civic groups, local senior living developments such as Ave Maria, Vineyards Country Club and the Immokalee Interagency. Participating in community events that target seniors, such as the Senior Health Expo is yet another way the Project Director is promoting recruitment and development of our program. Volunteermatch.org and Volunteercollier.org profiles are managed to encourage volunteer seekers to join RSVP. The Project Director works directly with local media outlets and newspaper publications to place both paid and free advertisements to inform citizens of volunteer opportunities. Recently the RSVP program was spotlighted in the Naples Daily News. The article published on July 15, 2017 and addressed the benefits of volunteering for the volunteer themselves, the station and the tremendous and beneficial impact that RSVP has here in Collier County. Social media is also an outlet for advertising the RSVP program; as such a Facebook and Twitter account have created increased awareness of the program. These outreach opportunities have been shown to help recruit not only For Official Use Only Narratives new volunteers, but also increase the number of RSVP stations. In addition recruitment videos have been recorded and shown at events. Recruiting volunteers is JOB ONE for the RSVP Project Director. Collier County has established internal goals for recruitment and these targets and goals are part of the County's annual planning process. We have a rigorous matching process whereby the station and the volunteer need to both be satisfied. Over the years we have found our approach to be successful as our attrition rate for volunteers is low and most often volunteers report leaving RSVP due to illness, relocation and unfortunately death. Recognizing and retaining our volunteers has been a key to our success for the last twenty years. We have four (4) volunteers that have contributed over 15 years of service, and we have twenty (20) volunteers that have contributed over ten (1o) years of service. Those volunteers who annually provide over 100 hours of service are honored at the annual luncheon in a formal recognition ceremony. On-going recognition is also provided to volunteers in the form of volunteer brunches, welcome back celebrations, and Veteran and Military Family volunteer recognition events. We have also initiated an educational seminar series for RSVP volunteers focused on areas of interest to seniors; and we also encourage our volunteers to bring a friend in hopes of recruiting new volunteers to the program. It is important to ensure our volunteers are enjoying their experience and feel that their efforts are appreciated. It is our mission to recognize all our volunteers even in the smallest way, as evidenced by a birthday card, to celebrate them. Volunteers are presented with Senior Corp RSVP polo shirts, t- shirts, hats, water bottles, pens, and other miscellaneous items as part of our recognition and branding efforts. The items will also serve to recruit other seniors to join RSVP of Collier County. The Senior Corp RSVP logo is also included on all RSVP literature. Functions and RSVP gear are funded by the RSVP budget, contributions from local business and in-kind and match from Collier County Government. Program Management Stations are recruited based on the community needs and how their needs align with the CNCS's focus areas. A willingness to provide meaningful volunteer opportunities and to comply with RSVP of Collier County's policies and procedures is also taken into consideration when choosing volunteer stations. Once we have a volunteer station in place, the Project Director begins to define the requirements for our RSVP volunteers and the training required for each volunteer. Each volunteer station receives a For Official Use Only Narratives handbook outlining their responsibilities. Station responsibilities include such tasks as, maintaining quarterly volunteer time sheets and submitting them timely to the RSVP office, providing appropriate training, orientation and supervision, as well as the provision of materials necessary for the volunteer assignment. Each station must sign a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) that outlines programmatic and station responsibilities, as well as other provisions, such as: separation from service, displacement of employees, religious activities, accessibility and reasonable accommodation, indemnification, etc. It incorporates specific language which stipulates what prior placement training volunteers will receive, as well as orientation details and serves as a guide to the working relationship. The MOU also includes what the station will furnish, i.e., all materials necessary to complete the volunteer assignment. MO U's are renewed every three years, or whenever there is a change of volunteer assignments or coordinators. A Volunteer Assignment Description form is required by each station. Upon submission, the RSVP Project Director reviews the form to confirm the outlined task is appropriate and will notify the station that the program is acceptable. Volunteer station participants are required to fill out a Volunteer Assignment Form for each assignment offered, outlining the need warranting a specific volunteer assignment, the volunteer service activity, the anticipated accomplishment because of the activity and the anticipated impact of the accomplishment. The information collected will be documented and assessed by the RSVP Project Director as well as the Advisory Council to prevent and/or identify prohibited volunteer assignments, and to ensure each assignment meets the needs of the community. Day to day program management is done through e-mail and phone communication, as well as, at minimum, a monthly site visit to each Volunteer Station. The Project Director ensures volunteer satisfaction by communicating frequently with the volunteers. On an annual basis the RSVP Project Director will meet with the station and perform a technical review to ensure continued training is occurring for volunteers, and the station is remaining compliant with the RSVP program regulations. In the event a station is found to be non-compliant with the RSVP program guidance they will be assisted in correcting any deficiencies. To further ensure compliance, station participants will receive ongoing support and guidance from RSVP Project Director. A notification of new policies or policy changes is also communicated routinely to volunteer stations.

Anticipated Outcome: --No outcome selected-- Target: How Measured: Instrument Description Performance Measure: 8.1 Community-based mentoring Community Need to be Addressed: The need for education volunteers is increasing nationwide but particularly in Collier to address disadvantaged children and youth and those non-English speaking students. Collier County's student population K-12 is 49,393 with 63% of the population classified as economically needy and 15% experience limited English proficiency and only 46% report their home language as English, while 42% state their home language is Spanish. According to the Spotlight on Poverty and Opportunity report from 2017 there are over 1 million Florida children receiving food stamps (SNAP), over 2 million children enrolled in Medicaid and CHIP and over 1.2 million Black and Hispanic children below 200% of the federal poverty limit. Education encourages imagination, creativity and interest in knowledge. It also gives students more opportunities for high-paying jobs and offers better economic security. Education is an essential part of intellectual freedom, and one of its main values is improving how students view, exist in and participate in the world. Because education is a social event for most people, it encourages sharing of ideas and experiences among students, which helps students become better members of the community by teaching morals, ethics and community responsibility. To address the need for English literacy tutoring, RSVP will target those students from Title 1 schools by partnering with 2 stations to provide tutoring to school aged children. The stations are located at the Boys and Girls Club of Collier County, Champions For Learning and the Literacy Volunteers of Collier County. Title 1 is a federal program that provides funds to schools and school districts serving high numbers of economically disadvantaged children.
