| What others have done |
| State-level offices are instrumental in linking projects across streams. In Wyoming, the Corporation State Office Director introduced a new Foster Grandparent director to a veteran AmeriCorps*State coordinator located in the same town. Since then, the two have shared materials and collaborated on training volunteers. In North Carolina, the Commission on National and Community Service maintains the Clearinghouse on Community Service Web site, which includes a directory of national service programs in the state. The Web site is located at www.nccu.edu/clearinghouse.
Building Reciprocity: After meeting at the beginning of the year, VISTA members in Wyoming began a periodic newsletter to keep in touch. Several provided articles and other information, another put together the news-letter, and the State Director copied and distributed it to all VISTA members in the state. |
