The story city senior citizens (scsc), INC

Is the administrator of the story city senior center (managing activities and facilities) and the sponsor for central iowa rsvp. Scsc, INC. Began as an rsvp grantee in 1973, serving story county and expanding to serve marshall county in 2003. More recently (2012), scsc, INC. Approved the expansion of central iowa rsvp to also include hamilton and webster counties, each representing two former projects that relinquished their rsvp grants in 2011. Story city senior citizens, INC. Was also awarded state funding in july, 2012 to restore services to this geographic area. This summary outlines plans for continued service and sponsorship of central iowa rsvp. An estimated 780 rsvp volunteers will serve in a variety of assignments in these four counties. Cirsvp is broad in its scope of services but will continue education as its primary focus area beginning in july, 2018. Although cirsvp has two signature programs that will continue to engage rsvp volunteers in meeting needs in the areas of healthy futures: 1. Volunteer driver transportation program (engaging 50 rsvp volunteer drivers providing residents with safe and reliable transportation to medical appointments and other essential services); 2. Base senior fitness program (bone builders model offering area senior citizens an opportunity to improve their physical and mental well-being through low-impact fitness instruction by trained rsvp volunteers), and one in disaster services (volunteer management for disaster, public safety and public health), the largest number of volunteers will continue in assignments that address school readiness and k-12 success. Through a variety of pre-school/school-based and summer enrichment assignments including: elementary reading mentors, head start, literacy partners writing project, and speak up! (public speaking course), we anticipate engaging 397 unduplicated volunteers in assisting 892 students/children (year 3) with increasing academic performance by the end of the three-year grant. The corporation for national & community service federal investment of $164,998 will be supplemented by an anticipated $164,274 in non-federal resources and $3,449 from excess resources annually.
