Nevada Volunteers provided funding for an expected 420 members to engage in intensive service to meet community needs for more than 8,200 Nevadans within 15 of our 17 counties. Those needs included STEM learning and academic mentoring opportunities for students, healthy living education in rural communities, seniors receiving access to health care, and students learning how to protect their environment. In addition to acquiring leadership skills, these members received a variety of benefits that include a living stipend, an education award at the end of their service, student loan deferment during service, training and full-time members receive health care and child care.GeographiesNot indicatedDatesJan 1, 2020 – Dec 31, 2020Source990No causes providedNo populations provided–$2.4MProgram 2 [2020]
While the pandemic created challenges for operations, our organization pivoted effectively to maintain an exceptional level of service to grantees, community partners, and stakeholders.Our organization introduced new team members, including a new Executive Director and AmeriCorps Program Officer, and another team member was promoted to Director of AmeriCorps.The team transitioned to fully remote workplaces, allowing team members to continue by using online platforms to conduct internal and external meetings. (Continued on Schedule O).Our organization consistently promoted free access to NVVolunteerConnect, Nevada-centric platform that matches nonprofit organizations with volunteers searching for service opportunities in their local communities. This service emerged as an essential connection during a time when traditional volunteer opportunities were affected by remote service assignments.We continued a partnership with UNLV graduate students who provided technical assistance support to strengthen subgrantee evaluation plans.We rescheduled and realigned the Governor's Points of Light Awards, our organization's annual signature event, to April to coincide with National Volunteer Month, in anticipation of leveraging a Statewide conversation about volunteerism.Only one month before the event, pandemic-related closures became the catalyst to transition to a virtual streaming event in October 2020 to minimize travel. Gov. Steve Sisolak and Mrs. Kathy Sisolak introduced the event virtually and offered their warmest regards to the finalist honorees.GeographiesNot indicatedDatesJan 1, 2020 – Dec 31, 2020Source990No causes providedNo populations provided–$138KNevada Volunteers National Service Programs
