TYPED NAME OF AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATNE b. TfRE c. TELEPHONE NUMBER: d. SIGNATURE e. DATE SIGNED: F~ge 1 For Official Use Only Narratives Strengthening Communities Summit and Eagle Counties have an economic paradigm with their populations due to the high profile resort influence of the area. The mix by race shows nearly 82% of the two counties' populations consist of Caucasians, with less the one percent of African-American race and twenty percent are of Hispanic heritage. The sustenance of this region includes ski resorts, several higher elevation peaks of the Rocky Mountains for biking and hiking, amazing rivers for rafting, state and national parks for camping. To accommodate the tourists' and most homeowners' interests of the arts and culture, outdoor events, and geographical opportunities that bring money into the counties, many nonprofits in the area are supported by volunteers to maintain their existence to meet this economic need. However, to maintain the resort services vital to these counties' economy, service workers who provide the housekeeping, maintenance of facilities and properties, and other manual jobs can barely manage living here and have families with the high cost of living that exists. Taking our geography into consideration, as well as the severe weather, vast wooded areas, risk of wildfires, and outdoor dilemmas, there is a call for a full array of emergency services and disaster relief. It is thought that only younger, able-bodied people live in our counties because of the extreme sporting opportunities. The truth of the matter is that the aging population is growing, which includes the lifelong residents, but also the parents of the Baby Boomers who are choosing to move here for retirement add to this increase. With minimal services available to help this increasingly frail population remain independent and safe in their homes so they do not have to move out of the county, possibly further, for care and services, volunteers are being mobilized to offer this assistance. Rural Resort RSVP is recognized as a resource to provide and supplement the volunteer teams with our partners in Eagle and Summit counties. Partners are identified by the impact made on the community and the need for volunteer support in order to sustain. Awareness of RSVP is made by encouraging each volunteer to share their positive experience with others, encouraging them to For Official Use Only Page 2 For Official Use Only Narratives become a member of this volunteer corps, which reflects so positively on our communities. Listing opportunities on county websites, Volunteer Match and newspaper listings are positive recruiting tools. Inviting media coverage on volunteers is also encouraged. In meeting with coordinators of the partners, a review of our MOU criteria and expectations is discussed, which includes offering opportunities for diverse cultures, including people with disabilities. Advisory Council members also visit stations, speak at civic organizations, and represent the importance of volunteers in our communities. Quarterly networking meetings co-facilitated by RSVP, consisting of nonprofit volunteer coordinators, have been initiated which provides opportunity for all to share volunteer needs, management, recruiting, and retention techniques, resulting in enhancement of the capacity of the organizations and integrating senior service into the activities of other service programs. Rural Resort RSVP will continue to develop collaborative approaches with human service agencies, public safety and emergency organizations, educational programs, senior assistance programs, and our community and economic development resources to maximize program resources and achieve significant community impact. These agencies and programs along with Rural Resort RSVP will mutually evaluate community systems and approaches for the use of volunteers and develop shared improvement objectives. The program director and coordinator will work to assure quality community participation and ownership of the RSVP program through the RSVP Advisory Council. The Council will have an annual workplan, will invite participation from private and public agencies, senior citizens, volunteer stations and others as appropriate to strengthen the fabric of the communities, particularly in the area of human services. Recruitment and Development Rural Resort RSVP seeks to recruit and mobilize volunteers who have the interests, skills and experiences to ensure its continued success. A wide spectrum of seniors will be reached by community relations, media, members' word of mouth, and presentations in locations where the 55 and beyond For Official Use Only Page 3 For Official Use Only Narratives population gathers. Increased emphasis is on attracting Baby Boomer volunteers has resulted in a climbing response to civic engagement by this generation through RSVP. While many of these volunteers participate in more affluent programs in our communities, such as the Vail Valley Medical Center's Volunteer Corps, Bravo! Vail Valley Music Festival, Betty Ford Alpine Gardens in Eagle County and St. Anthony's Summit Medical Center Volunteer Corps, National Reparatory Orchestra, Lake Dillon Foundation for Performing Arts in Summit County, they also are engaged in environmental, disaster preparedness, and human service programs. To recruit and retain these valuable volunteers, a concerted effort is made to personally meet with each volunteer station representative and devise ways to attract and retain these volunteers into programs with assurance of orientation and training requirements. Personal communication with volunteers as opportunity presents itself is a time that the rewards of volunteering are shared as well as identifying leadership and skill development potential. To increase public awareness of Rural Resort RSVP, the project director and coordinator will disseminate information about RSVP to key audiences and participating agencies. The local media will be utilized appropriately with articles covering volunteer activities. Local reporters will be invited to special events, including recognition and public meetings between agencies and RSVP. Volunteer opportunities, applications, and forms are made available on the sponsor's website as well as Volunteer Match, and are updated regularly. A monthly bulletin/newsletter is mailed to highlight activities, incentives, and recognition. Opportunities to exhibit at fairs, festivals, and events are taken advantage of throughout the year in the region. Response to requests for volunteers will be met with a connection of those volunteers with interest and applicable skill set and the station. Communication is by phone, email, and mail. Assistance will be given to agencies on the effective recognition and management of volunteers and their programs on an on-going basis and also through the quarterly networking meetings in the area. For Official Use Only Page 4 For Official Use Only Narratives Rural Resort RSVP aims to develop volunteer station relationships and ensure high quality volunteer experiences. To accomplish this, the program director and coordinator will review memorandums of Understanding (MOU's) and discuss RSVP goals and objectives with existing agency partners, while actively developing new MOU's with other agencies, particularly those involved in human services and emergency services functions. Training on RSVP policies, procedures, protocol, general volunteer management and station responsibilities will be provided for agencies' volunteer supervisors. Rural Resort RSVP holds an annual recognition for their volunteers in each county. Program Management Program Director and Coordinator will consistently identify through volunteers, media, and networking meetings new stations that address specified community needs and will provide meaningful placements for the volunteers. To ensure that all volunteers have the skills, knowledge and confidence to provide quality services, the program director and coordinator will meet with all agency partners to determine volunteer needs, skills necessary, time involvement, and provide appropriate screening and training to volunteers. Joint recruitment efforts are encouraged, with Program Director or Coordinator screening the new volunteers to ensure a rewarding experience for the volunteer and valuable addition to the organization. Rural Resort RSVP will meet and/or exceed RSVP guidelines and requirements through a proactive quality assurance program with partnering organizations on an annual basis to support achievement of program. Project performance will be reviewed with a comparison of prior year's results to reflect change or achievement. Information and data demonstrating the impacts of the projects and volunteers is recorded through Service Record forms and a database for reference in reporting. Project resources are reviewed by staff and managed by Project Director to ensure best use of funds available to provide highest impact and volunteer support. Eagle County offers mileage reimbursement to volunteers due to the geography creating longer distance from home to volunteer site in order to promote retention and recognition of value of For Official Use Only Page 5 For Official Use Only Narratives their time and effort. The RSVP Advisory Council will also be utilized in budgetary recommendations, performance appraisal, along with yearly evaluation of volunteer stations. Eagle County sponsors this RSVP program and provides many services and programs through their Health & Human Services. With the Board of County Commissioners acting as the Board of Directors for this program, they generously provide in-kind contribution to sustain the program and contribute discretionary additional resources for new programming. Summit County will seek resources as needed to continue to expand the program there. Organizational Capacity Rural Resort RSVP began in 2000 in this service region. There have been four Directors and two Coordinators in Summit County of this program since its inception. The current Program Director has a vast background in senior housing, healthcare and services. She has been employed in for profit as well as nonprofit organizations with experience in program development and grant writing as the sustaining resource in one situation. Other experience includes several levels of management including corporate level. The Coordinator of Summit County RSVP has several years of teaching in her background. She has been a long time resident of Summit County, and being civically engaged herself, has had significant contact with area volunteers. The Program Director has had experience in development and management of financial systems and state and local grants funds. The Coordinator is proactive in learning the reporting and management of this grant as well as pursuing new grants and understanding their criteria. Both staff have had limited prior experience in volunteer management, but have had leadership responsibilities as a volunteer. The Director has been with this program for over two years and the current Coordinator has been with RSVP for just over a year. As the sponsor of the program, Eagle County Government's mission is to "enhance the lives of citizens by delivering quality services in acost-effective manner" and is supported by Summit County For Official Use Only Page 6 For Official Use Only Narratives Government. RSVP's mission "to provide opportunities for the 55 and beyond age group to participate more fully in the life of their communities through significant volunteer service" is compatible with the sponsor's work plan in many ways: *a focus on community life and community involvement; *recognition of community service as a means for achieving a healthy life style *identification of significant outcomes that come as a result of service RSVP in Eagle County works closely with the Eagle County Volunteer Center, a program within the sponsoring organization, and partner for Volunteer Services, coordinating volunteers of all ages with opportunities through nonprofits as well as businesses. The strength of this collaboration is of great benefit to both programs. Together, they act as a central volunteer development mechanism for volunteers in Eagle County. Rural Resort RSVP in both counties is the centralized volunteer engagement hub for the 55+ population. As part of County governments, Rural Resort RSVP is fully supported by human resources, accounting, information technology, legal and other county administrative support services as in- kind. The Deputy Director of Health & Human Services maintains financial management of the program along with the RSVP Program Director. Eagle and Summit Counties provide both staff with reasonable accommodations, equipment, benefits, and policies to assure proper tools and resources to address the needs of the positions and the requirements of the program. Annual evaluations are performed by supervisory staff with encouragement of consulting State Project Director for input on performance. Other Not applicable.

As these children age into the school system, there is concerted effort to provide them and their parents the opportunities for language adaptation and learning skills. Them has been a 30% increase in enrollment in the county school systems, the biggest in the last decade. Pre- school enrollment has nearly doubled. In grades K-i2, there are 233o students learning ESL. With enrollments growing more rapidly than expected, assistance with classrooms is needed with volunteer involvement.

The high cost of living in these counties coupled with the unequivilant wages provided by the service- sector jobs creates a strong demand for human services. Also, the numerous nonprofits than maintain the culture and quality of life expected in the areas of the arts, sporting events, environmental, heritage, and community affairs could not be sustained without the support of their volunteer corps. The value of volunteer involvement in all spectrums of community and economic development is crucial in these counties. Funding and resources for human service agencies is ongoing to meet demands of the population. In Eagle County, many local nonprofits depend on funding raised by the Eagle Valley Community Fund (EVCF), an annual rummage sale which distributes funds to local nonprofits. A similar model is used for Summit County's annual rummage sale to benefit human services programs for seniors. The monetary equivalent of these volunteer hours is then distributed to the delegated organization. The Counties also have an annual Duck Race sponsored by civic organizations with proceeds being returned to participating volunteer groups that benefit seniors and clients of those agencies. Part 2: Action Plan Service Activities RSVP volunteers will assist the community nonprofits providing services in the region through administrative, service, and fundraising efforts. Volunteers will assist the Eagle Valley Community For Official Use Only Page 10 For Official Use Only Work Plan/Performance Measures Fund, Summit County rummage sales in planning and implementing their annual fundraising events, assist with Duck Race sales, and be engaged with other requested volunteer duties to support the success of the organizations in Community and Economic Development.

Community Need Physical health, mental health, and independence are three indicators of quality of life among seniors in Eagle and Summit Counties. These counties do not have any agencies, organizations, or businesses that offer assistance with activities of daily living for frail older adults or people with disabilities other than the nutrition program from the County through the Adult Services Department. The projections of popoulation increase over the next five years for both counties for ages 65 and older is ~o%. In 2008, there are 3325 adults over the age of 65.

The younger adult population For Official Use Only Page 11 For Official Use Only Work Plan/Performance Measures with disabilities in a small percentage, but is of equal importance. Eagle and Summit Counties boast of some of the state's most dynamic and active Baby Boomers residing here. These seniors are becoming more active in service to the more fragile population, extending their independence and ability to stay in their homes safely. Rural Resort RSVP volunteers are committing themselves to increase or maintain the independence, socialization, and nutrition of more frail seniors and people with disabilities in order to increase or maintain the perceived quality of life among these populations in this region.
