INTRODUCTION
The purpose of this memorandum is to request approval of the attached amended
agreement for AmeriCorps Partners in Learning: Healthy Futures for Program Year
2019-2020. This grant is will run from September 9, 2019 —August 22"d, 2020 and
during the Summer of 2020.
BACKGROUND
AmeriCorps Partners in Learning has served the Dubuque community since 2000 and
has been sponsored by the City of Dubuque since 2007. The program was awarded a
1-year formula planning grant through the lowa Commission on Volunteer Service in
2017, which is focused on supporting teen programming during the summer months. In
2018, AmeriCorps Partners in Learning was awarded a 2"d time to support teen summer
programs, in addition to a planning grant that was awarded to expand programming in
this area. This grant will be the 3�d grant awarded to support teen programming, but the
15t awarded to focus on engaging teens in year-long capacity and summer programs-
focused on creating and sustaining connections between these youth and their
community. This grant was originally funded at 75% of the applied for amount. The lowa
Commission has approved our request for the remaining 25% to be covered by
supplemental federal funding.
DISCUSSION
This formula-funded grant is a continued effort to support Teen Mentoring programs
through Leisure Services, the Multicultural Family Center, Carnegie Strout Public
Library and Mentor Dubuque, expanding teen programs from summer-only into year-
around programming. This grant will provide 4 year-long AmeriCorps positions in the
following capacities: 1 full-time (1700 hour) and 1 half-time (900 hour) positions with
Mentor Dubuque, and 2 three-quarter-time (1200 hour) positions- one with the
Multicultural Family Center and one with Carnegie-Stout Public Library. The grant will
also provide 5 minimum-time (300 hour) positions that will support the Multicultural
Family Center's summer STEP program. These positions will work together to support
teens to develop connections to their community through teen-focused programs that
will provide structured and unstructured mentoring, community and health education,
equity engagement and workforce development opportunities. 5 minimum-time (300
hour) positions will support the Leisure Services Summer Teen Night Programs.
In addition to our impact on community youth and local organizations, one of the areas
that AmeriCorps Partners in Learning prioritizes is with the AmeriCorps members
themselves. The Program strives to recruit from a diverse pool of candidates, with the
program previously having had a wide range of AmeriCorps from retirees, to college
students, to newcomers to Dubuque, to stay at home parents, to people looking for a
career change. The program strives to encourage iYs AmeriCorps members to
recognize their service as engagement and continue to serve in some facet after their
year.
The grant amendment was dated October 1 , 2019. However, the agreement was just
received by the program in the last week.
BUDGETIMPACT

Grant is $113,579. The Corporation of National and Community Service's share is
$75,385 or 66°k. The Grantee (PiL)'s share is $38,194 or 34°k. The grantee share is

Executive Summary
The City of Dubuque proposes to have 8 AmeriCoips members who will develop and implement teen
programming in Dubuque, IA. At the end of the first program year, the AmeriCorps members will be
responsible for a change in teenaged youths' attitude towards making healthier choices. In addition,
the AmeriCorps members will leverage 20o volunteers who will be engaged in mentoring teens and
supporting teen programming.
This program will focus on the CNCS focus area of Healthy Futures. The CNCS investment of$56,269
will be matched with $33,�26, $22,326 in public funding and $ri,400 in private funding.
Rationale and Approach/Program Design
Theory of Change
Teenaged youth in Dubuque are in crisis. According to the 2018 Iowa Youth Survey, only 84% of
Iowa teens felt that they have someone they can talk to within their homes, and less than 83% of
students felt that the adults in the community care about students. Only 61% of students feel that
adults in the community let students know that they are proud of them. Since 2014, the percentage of
all students taking the Iowa Youth Survey who agreed that adults in their community let them lcnow
they are proud of them when they do something well decreased by 10.9%. Overall, from 2012 to 2018,
the percentage of students who reported having a plan to kill themselves within the past year
increased by 53.0%. One in ten students taldng the Iowa Youth Survey in 2oi8 reported they had a
plan to kill themselves in the past twelve months. From 2012 to 2018, the percent of 6th grade
students who reported having a plan to kill themselves within the past year increased by �i.i%.
DuUuque teens are also struggling with risk-talang behaviors and criminal activity. Data received
from Dubuque Police for the timeframe of January 2016 through November 20�8 show 1,932
criminal charges were reported from youth aged 9-i�. Of the 1,932 charges reported, some of these
charges belong to the same individuals, with a total of 1,524 arrests during this time span.A
brealcdown of ages of individuals charged shows that the older a student is, the more likely they are to
engage in rislc taking and law-breaking behaviors. The top five charges were disorderly conduct,
assault, theft, criminal mischief, and interference with official acts. 195 charges were drug-related,
including drug possession, unlawful possession of prescription drugs and possession of drug
paraphernaIia. 133 charges were alcohol-related, including consumption, OWI, possession and public
intoxication. Youth were more likely to be engaged in rislc-talcing and unlawful behavior during after-
school and evening hours, with �6� arrests occurring between 2:3opm z iopm. From 2oi2 to 2018,

according to the Iowa Youth Survey, the percentage of students reporting most of their school peers
feel it would be wrong or very wrong for them to use any illegal drug other than alcohol, cigarettes, or
marijuana decreased from 86.3%to 82.2%. Our program utilizes a two-pronged approach to our
communityzs problem of teens in crisis. The�rst prong revolves around creating a positive connection
between teens and adults through-out the year, while the second prong focnses on fostering resiliency
and curbing risk-taking behaviors by giving teens safe and positive programming options during after-
school time and summer months. The first prong of our program is focused on developing positive
connections between teenaged youth and positive adult role models to support teens through crisis.
Our program believes that utilizing AmeriCorps members to develop and increase opportunities for
community connection, as well as fostering direct connections with youth will create and foster
resiliency among these youth. In contexts of rislc, relationships are crucial to mitigating the negative
impact of toxic environments. Resilience, the capacity to overcome adversity, is facilitated by those
who engage with the child (Masten, 2ooi; Rutter, 2oi2). During the year, seven AmeriCoips
members will serve with community-centered programs to develop positive relationships between
teenaged youth and adult role models. Two of these members, one Full-Time position and one Half-
Time position, will serve with Hillcrest Family Servicesc Mentor Dubuque program, fostering positive
community-based mentoring relationships between youth and adults. These AmeriCorps members
will identify at-risk youth who would benefit from mentoring and the safe, positive adult role model
that the youth will be paired with, creating 3o new mentoring relationships. The AmeriCorps
members will follow the relationship, checleing in on all aspects of the relationship while providing
opportunities for new experiences within the community. Five of these AmeriCorps members will
serve with the Multicultural Family Center to provide small group mentoring to a total of 4o teens
during the summer. During 2 separate sessions, 2o teens will receive mentoring 4 times per weelc for 4
weeks. These teens experience workforce engagement, service projects, and post-secondary education
experiences in a safe, controlled environment. These teens will develop skills and gain resources that
will help them seelc future employment, giving them access to opportunities that they would not have
previously had, as well as adult mentors who will be able to guide them. Evidence is clear that social
connections are important determinants of healthy adolescent development (Ewell Foster, Cynthia, et
al). The second prong of our program utilizes �AmeriCorps members to engage teens during out-of-
school time and during the summer through teen night programs. The other two year-long members,
2 Three-Quarter Time positions, will seive with the Multicultural Family Center and the Carnegie-
Stout Public Library to develop and enhance connections with the teenaged youth populations of

Dubuque. These AmeriCoips members will interact directly with over 25 community youth to build
relationships and increase attendance within teen-related after-school and summer programming.
Youth with a positive adult connection had significantly higher odds of good school performance, and
lower odds of alcohol use, violence involvement and violence witnessing (Culyba,Alison J., et al). The
Out-of-Schooi teen programming is tailored to provide experiences with positive adults that are
interested in furthering teen futures. The other five AmeriCorps members will serve with the City of
Dubuquers Leisure Services Department providing small group enrichment to 25 teens during the
evenings with community teens. These members expand teen night programming to multiple times a
week to ensure that youth are engaged productively and are not engaging in unlawful behavior. These
AmeriCorps Members will partner with the Multicultural Family Center, Carnegie-Stout Public
Library and other community organizations to provide active and engaging teen programs to increase
community connections. The majority of the summer teen programming will be held at one of our
city parks or with park staff along corridors where teens are shown to be arrested and charged with
crimes. Providing thoughtful programming that engages the three pillars of the National Park and
Recreation Association, conservation, health and wellness, and social equity, is the best practice for
teens to feel connected to their city parks and provide positive outlets. Two-thirds of survey
respondents agree that offering a safe space to play is a top benefit of their parlc and recreation
agencies� OST (Out-of-School Time) programs. Similarly, 46 percent of parlc and recreation
�
professionals report that another benefit of OST programs is providing a free or affordable space that
encourages healthy, physically active lifestyles through play, swimming, exercise, and sports
(National Parks and Recreation Association, 2oi8).
Evidence Base
Our program falls into the Pre-preliminary evidence tier as a newly proposed evidence-informed
program. While our program has previously been implemented in a past program year as an
education-based program, we have determined that our program would be better suited to address the
community needs of teen mental health. Our program previously saw the success of the Multicultural
Family Centerzs Summer Teen Empowerment Program(STEP, previously known as YEEP), which
saw 35 out of 4o at-risk teens complete a summer mentoring and worlcforce development program.
The success of the STEP program, the lack of other teen oppoi-tunities in Dubuque, and the increasing
number of teens experiencing crisis helped our program determine that utilizing AmeriCorps can help
meet these community needs.

Narratives
Recently, the 2018 Iowa Youth Survey results were published by the Iowa Department of Public
Health showing that teenaged youth are struggling with mental health, suicide, and rislc-taking
behaviors. Additionally, our program was able to review detailed arrest records from the Dubuque
Police Department of youth ages 9 z 1�, which showed us that teens are engaging in unlawful and
risk-taking behavior.
Teenaged youth are an inherently underserved population that is typically difficult to serve. Our
program was unable to find a community-based program that served teenaged youth that our
partners (a mentoring organization, a city recreation department and a community library) would be
able to replicate with fidelity. This led our program to research best practices in teen programming
from across the country and in Iowa. Many Iowa communities of Dubuquers size do not have the
capacity to serve teens through free, community-based programming, which lead us to look at best
practices from the National Parks and Recreation Association to focus on out-of-school time
programming in an effort to reduce unlawful and risk taking behaviors in teens by giving them
options during their out-of-school time. Additionally, our program wanted to help support teens in
crisis by fostering resiliency. Research has shown that resiliency increases when youth are connected
with positive adult role models, leading our program to aim to create mentoring relationships with
teenaged youth. There is very little data on Dubuque teens, so our program will collect data on the
attitudes of the teens who participate in these community-based teen programs in an effoz-t to gauge
their attitude towards their community and their healthy choices. From there, our program will move
to increase these attitudes and work to measure changes in teenaged behavior.

Certification through the Iowa Mentoring Pai-tnership. The program also fits within two CNCS
Funding Priorities: i) Economic Opportunity and 2) Safer Communities.
Member Experience
For Official Use Only
Narratives
Members with AmeriCorps Partners in Learning have an incredible member experience for which the
Program Director, as an AmeriCoips alum, takes seriously. The development of inembers begins with
the recruitment process where the Program Director strategically recruits, interviews and places
members from our community to the site which is the best fit for each member. The Program
Director sits on the City of Dubuquers Leisure Services Equity Team, which focuses on recruiting and
hiring diverse community members into the department, as a whole, including the AmeriCorps
program. During the recruitment process, the Program Director learns each members' goals for their
term. This is crucial to retaining members. During their year of service, members are challenged to
develop personally and professionally. This begins with their day-to-day service where members are
supported and developed at their host site in partnership with their site supervisors. Members also
develop through the leadership of the Program Director. The Program Director takes a personal, 1-1
approach with members to challenge them in different ways. This can include leading sections of
monthly trainings, presenting in the community with the Program Director, mentoring other
AmeriCorps members at their host site,building a resume for future employment, applying for
graduate school or leading Days of Service projects. Our programs believes that each AmeriCorps
member brings unique talents to our community, and works to foster the growth of that member and
utilization of their talents. Finally, all members develop and present a reflection project during our
End of Service Reflection Ceremony.AmeriCorps members also gain impoi-tant experiences through
our Days of Service and service opportunities, which are conducted in pai-tnership with Dubuque's
National Service PaI-tnership (DNSP). This partnership is a collaboration of area national service
members and programs. Members pai-ticipate in service oppoi-tunities that are approved by the
Program Director to ensure no prohibited activities take place. Through National Days of Service and
DSNP, our members learn about their community, network with other national service members, and
participate in additional service opportunities. The DNSP also expands to recognition events. For
example, national service members are invited to the City Council meeting for a City's Proclamation
of national service. The Mayor also attends the National Service Recognition Day Ceremony where all
members are recognized. Lastly, AmeriCorps members are recognized in several ways during their
service. The Program Director sends out weekly updates via email and gives a written "Shout Out" to
members. During monthly trainings, members receive a verbal "Shout Out". Members are also
recognized and thanlced by the Program Director and site supervisor during AmeriCorps Week in ways
that are individual to each member, highlighting their strengths and the impacts they are having on
our programs and community.

Compliance and Accountability
AmeriCorps Partners in Learning strongly believes in compliance and accountability. The program
prides itself in having a reputation as a high functioning,low risk program. The Program Director has
a complete plan for compliance and accountability. The Program Director ensures site supervisors and
partner organizations fully understand the prohibited activities, non-duplication and non-
displacement guidelines, and all other important rules and regulations through service agreements
and the site supervisor training, which is face to face and i-1 at each site, every year. The Program
Director also conducts at least two site visits a year, as well as a mid-term review to ensure rules and
regulations are being followed. The Program Director lceeps lines of communications open between
members and site supervisors to ensure compliance and accountability. The Program Director
monitors the activities being performed through ongoing communication with members and site
supervisors. The Program Director can visit any site, at any time without prior appointment. Should a
compliance issue be suspected or arise, the Program Director holds a meeting with all parties involved
to review guidelines and design a corrective action plan. If compliance issues continue to be a concern
the AmeriCorps members are removed from their assigned placement until the site can ensure all
activities fall within the AmeriCorps guidelines. If compliance issues are not corrected, or re-appear,
the Program Director will no longer place AmeriCorps members at the host site. Lastly, the program
manages and implements its program with limited compliance issues. Our staff takes CNCS' Criminal

Narratives
History Record Check very seriously as well as the following program management policies: time
sheets, in kind documentation, position descriptions, Member Service Agreements, Site Service
Agreements, mandatory training requirements, corrective action forms, midterm and end of year
evaluations, grievance, termination of service, drug free workplace, sexual harassment, prohibited
activities and unallowable activities. Our systems follow this cyclical pattern: follow, monitor, review
and updates to detect instances of risk or noncompliance. The AmeriCorps Program Director runs all
background checks on AmeriCorps members. As these checics are completed, the Program Director
completes Volunteer IowaLs NSCHC Document Checklist and attaches it to copies of all Bacicground
checks. Additionally, copies of a11 checks are kept in the memberes electronic file, as well as in a hard
copy format. The AmeriCorps Program Assistant reviews all background checks after they are run to
ensure that they are within compliance. To ensure compliance, the Program Director and Program
Assistant conduct member and staff file audits twice a year and works closely with its expert fiscal
staff to ensure compliance.
Culture that Values Learning
AmeriCorps Partners in Learning, as part of the City of Dubuque,believes in creating an equitable
community of choice by being a data-driven &outcome focused high performance government built
on four pillars: Equity, Resiliency, Sustainability and Compassion. The City of Dubuquecs City Council
develops and sets goals, policy agenda top priorities and high priorities, as well as management agenda
top priorities and high priorities based on the Cityzs mission and vision statements. These goals and
priorities set the tone and expectations of the City governmentcs plan for the next 2 years. The City of
Dubuque is guided by the City Managerzs Management Philosophy- Step 1: Plan your worlc and work
your plan-The plan needs to be driven by engagement (employee, resident, customer) and data that
focuses on outcomes; Step 2: Input oriented-Team members should take advantage of the valuable
input that can be provided by residents and employees for depai-tment decision-malcing; Step 3:
Problem Solvers- Team membersz approach to issues should be to focus on what can be done to solve
the problem; Step 4: Develop Partnerships-Team members can be more effective by developing
partnerships with other departments and outside organizations; Step 5: Act with a sense of Urgency.
This management philosophy drives each department and division within the organization to collect
data, measure performance, and continually strive to create meaningful impact for itLs community
members. All departments have pei�formance measures that connect to the Citycs goals and priorities.
These performance measures are collected on a regular basis and are repoi-ted on annually to the City

Council and the community in the Citycs annual budget review process. During this budget review
process, all depai-tments present the last yearzs performance measures and impacts to the City Council
for a decision on the next year�s budget and goals.
Member Supervision
AmeriCorps Partners in Learning believes that member supervision is a vital aspect of the member
experience.All our AmeriCorps members receive two layers of supervision: 1) Site Supervisor; and 2)
Program Director. First, every site designates a specific site supervisor. Each site supervisor provides
daily supervision to their members and is expected to spend a minimum of 4 hours per week
supervising and directly supporting their AmeriCorps Members. Site supervisors also provide on-site
training for the member�s specific role within the host site agency and observations by the site
supervisor to ensure accurate interventions. Ea�h year, site supervisors are trained by the Program
Director in a 1-i, in person training. The site supervisor training consists of an overview of the CNCS
and ICVS, education award and living allowance, host site responsibilities, in-kind match
documentation, time sheets, data collection, site agreements, Drug Free Workplace Act, grievance,
suspension and termination processes, sexual harassment, discrimination, prohibited activities and
unallowable activities including non-duplication and non-displacement. The Program Director and
the site supervisors have a strong, professional relationship where they contact the Program Director if
problems arise. Second, the Program Director serves as a second level of supervision for all members.
Members receive feedback and guidance at monthly team meetings. The Program Director has an
open-door policy and members may contact via in-person meeting, email, phone, or text at any time
for any reason. The Program Director also offers open office hours at least once a week.Additionally,
midterm reviews are conducted on each members that include an evaluation of the program required
AmeriCorps guidelines and expectations, on-site member duties, site supervisor progress and the
program directorzs progress. This review is conducted with the member, Site Supervisor and Program
Director. Members also receive an end of service evaluation by the Program Director and site
supervisor.

Evaluation Summary or Plan
The program model continues to operate based on past performance measurement data and a Process
For Official Use Only
Narratives
Evaluation where an outside evaluator collected systematic and accurate data on the program's logic
model activities and services delivered (outputs), participation in the intervention by the target
population (outputs) and participant outcomes, including performance measurement data.
The program implements strong data collection systems and processes. First, member training on
data collection is very thorough. Members are trained on data collection processes during orientation
and by their host-site at their on-site trainings. Data collection is revisited at monthly meetings to
ensure questions are being answered and accuracy is reinforced. The program's dosage and duration
are revisited to reinforce accurate data collection is occurring appropriately for each site. Second,the
program uses strong data collection tools to collect information performance measures. Each year-
long member will be given an IPad to organize participant names, attendance of program
participants, and pre and post assessments.AmeriCorps members will use these IPads to have new
program participants complete pre-assessments via SharePoint forms, where the data will
automatically be electronically sent to the Program Director. Each AmeriCorps member sends their
data to the Program Director on a bi-weekly basis, concurrent with their bi-weel�ly timesheets. From
there, the Program Director analyzes the data, ensures accuracy, and organizes the data by host site
and member. The Program Director sends the collected data back to the AmeriCorps member and site
supervisor monthly to review and analyze for accuracy and progress to targeted outputs and
outcomes. This will also serve as notification of when participants should be completing their post-
assessments based on their participation attendance. Third, we have an agreement with each host site
to get data on the participants we serve in a timely manner. Data is stored on both the Program
Director's and the Program Assistant's secured computer and backed up monthly.
The program conducted a process evaluation from March 2016 to November 2016. The two main
research questions were: 1) Is the AmeriCorps Partners in Learning program being implemented
consistently with the program's logic model and theory of change and 2)Are program beneficiaries
generally satisfied with the program? The program utilized an outside evaluator to conduct and
analyze focus groups, surveys and data files. Site supervisors and members were encouraged to
pai�ticipate in one focus group and one survey. 28 (15 QT and i3 HT) members and 12 site supervisors
completed the survey with each elementary school represented.
Based on the surveys,the responses indicated a positive impact on students. Surveys completed by the
site supervisors showed 100% of the respondents agreed the interventions implemented by AmeriCorps
members have helped children make progress in grade level reading; 100% agreed AmeriCorps is
positively contributing to K-3rd grade reading proficiency; 100% agreed they were satisfied with the

Narratives
program overall; and 92% agreed the students tutored by AmeriCoips members have more positive
connections to school because of AmeriCorps members. There were also very high responses to
members' training, attitude and professionalism.
Surveys completed by the AmeriCorps members showed 100% of the respondents agreed AmeriCorps
is positively contributing to K-3rd grade-level reading proficiency; 100% agreed they were satisfied
with the program overall; and i00% stated the Program Director supported them. There were also
very high responses to feeling connected and respected by their host site.
Based on the evaluator's analysis of the data files, there is one area of the program that needs
improvement -the program's completion rate. The average completion rate of all i2 schools was 4r%.
The highest school completion rate was 74% and the lowest school completion rate was 25%. The
program is currently following up with site supervisors from schools with the lowest completion rates
to learn what might have led to these low rates. In addition, the program explored other variables
contributing to a low completion rate. Some variables may be: not defining start; transiency; site
management; and scheduling conflicts. The program is implementing different strategies to ensure a
higher completion rate. Some strategies are educating about the importance of completing the
program, setting a completion goal and being transparent with data so members and site supervisors
ensure student completion. In addition, the program will no longer support schools who do not meet,
at the minimum, a completion rate of 50%.
