Our Mission

To direct the energy and innovation of young people toward ensuring that all community members have access to the services, opportunities, and attention that they need to pursue employment, self-sufficiency, and personal success.

Dear Friends,

I have spent much of the past year thinking about the idea of transformation. As an organization, we traditionally focus all of our energy on engendering change for our clients, our volunteers, our community partners, and our donors. This year, we had the opportunity to think about another kind of change – transformation of the organiza-tion itself.

As I have had the opportunity to share with many of you, this year we embarked on our first comprehensive stra-tegic planning process with the help of Columbia University’s Institute for Not-for-Profit Management. Much like the process through which we walk NSP clients, we uncovered our internal strengths and weaknesses, explored the external factors that will affect us in the future, and set clear goals and expectations for the organization. We rolled out an ambitious three year plan in May and are now deeply engaged in the implementation phase.

But, also like our clients, we need a lot of help to reach our goals. Throughout the past year, you – our valued supporters – have provided the funding, encouragement, and guidance to help us thrive. For the second year in a row, we nearly doubled the number of clients that we served and we saw promising growth in both the size and commitment level of our volunteer base.

In order to help you better understand how these trends fit into our long-range goals, this year’s Impact Report highlights our accomplishments over the past year within the context of our multi-year strategic priorities:

1. STREAMLINE ORGANIZATION-WIDE POLICIES AND PERFORMANCE EXPECTATIONS.2. DEVELOP SKILLS AND ABILITIES OF BOARD MEMBERS, STAFF MEMBERS, AND VOLUNTEERS.3. INCREASE EVALUATION AND MEASURE IMPACT.4. DIVERSIFY AND EXPAND FUNDING BASE.5. ESTABLISH LOCAL AND NATIONAL NAME RECOGNITION.

I hope that the following pages will allow you to see your support come alive, and I look forward to updating you throughout the next year about the many exciting transformations to come.

With gratitude,

Kirsten E. Lodal

The NSP Local OfficeNSP local offices are located in impoverished areas (accessible to campuses) that exhibit high levels of unemployment, homelessness, and other pervasive barriers to work, education, and service access. Local offices are open to the community from 40-50 hours each week. Offices are typically situated in community centers that house several other agencies.

ClientsNSP’s target client base consists of individuals aged 16-65 who lack sufficient access to the employment opportunities and social services available to them. NSP’s clientele is generally low-income and/or homeless, an even mix of males and females, and exceedingly diverse in race, language spoken, religion, and ethnicity.

Community PartnersNSP enlists a network of local specialists through both its partnerships and its Local Advisory Boards to connect clients to the services they need. For example, NSP does not provide childcare, but each NSP of-fice forms partnerships with local childcare providers that offer their services to NSP clients as relevant situations arise.

Local Advisory BoardsAll NSP offices are supported by Local Advisory Boards, made up of community leaders within the human services, government, educa-tion, and private sectors. NSP’s Local Advisory Boards ensure that each local office reflects its host community’s culture and priorities.

National Support

NSP National OfficeNSP’s National Office, based in Washington, D.C., provides local of-fices with the full-time supervision, management resources, financial support and tools that they need to provide consistent, high-quality client service. The NSP National Office performs the primary financial management, training and quality assurance functions of the organi-zation.

Board of DirectorsNSP’s Board of Directors provides the highest level of oversight of Na-tional Student Partnerships, Inc., comprised of NSP’s 15 Local Offices and the National Office.

DonorsPrivate donors create the foundation on which NSP stands, partnering with the organization on both a local and a national level to enable NSP’s daily impact on individuals and communities across the country.

WHAT WE DONSP operates a national network of resource centers (local offices), staffed by student volunteers from area colleges and universities. Working one-on-one with low-income community members (clients), NSP volunteers provide intensive on-site and referral services that enable clients to: locate employment; secure affordable housing, health care, childcare, and other services; and pursue long-term career and life goals. Perhaps most importantly, NSP volunteers provide clients with hours of listening and support services that are rarely available in other service agencies.

HOW IT WORKS

Volunteer Leadership Each NSP local office is staffed by:• 2-4 Local Directors – Student leaders who are appointed for one-year terms and provide management and vision for an office.• 1 Site Coordinator – A one-year full-time fellow (funded through the AmeriCorps*VISTA program) who provides capacity building support to

the local offices to ensure efficient volunteer performance.• 15-50 Student Volunteers – Students who work directly with NSP clients to provide assistance in identifying appropriate services.

About NSP

In my old neighborhood, drugs and crime were a way of life. By my early twenties, I had been in and out of prison and battling addictions. After cleaning up my act, a car crash left me permanently disabled, and to make ends meet I went back to my old habits. But, things were different. I was fed up. I wanted more out of life and have been clean ever since.

Little did I know how much my past would affect my future. Unable to work, I became homeless in 2004. Every day after took away a piece of my spirit. Hopelessness and depression were surrounding my life when, two months later, I became an NSP client. An employee from the City of New Haven Disabil-ity Services referred me to the organization to assist with my housing search. With the help of NSP volunteers, I applied for an apartment through the New Haven Housing Authority, but my application was illegally denied due to my past criminal record.

Sensing my situation was unjust, the student volunteers took action. Together, we worked to develop expertise in city

housing laws, and they helped me navigate the system. We found and contacted an employee from the mayor’s office and several from City Hall to advocate on my behalf. These efforts won me a hearing in June. Thanks in part to testimony from NSP volunteers, my housing application was accepted! I have since moved into a studio apartment owned by the New Haven Housing Authority.

Aside from housing help, I have used NSP to understand and navigate the public benefits system in Connecticut, to find ap-propriate and effective legal aid, and to learn how to budget on my fixed disability income. The fact that I just had a place where people would listen to me and where I could “de-stress” from life on the streets was invaluable. NSP removed the label placed on me by the City of New Haven: “Criminal for Life”. I am not the same person I was a decade ago. I am a published poet and enjoy writing books. I enjoy a whole new set of hob-bies with and around people who do not have any kind of drug activity in their lives. The greatest reward I’ve gotten is not a new apartment, but new friends.

STREAMLINE ORGANIZATION-WIDE POLICIES AND PERFORMANCE EXPECTATIONS: In order to achieve the highest quality client service possible, NSP has determined best practices and policies regarding all aspects of the program model, and has launched the first phase of setting performance expectations for every level of the organization. Strategy benchmarks include (a) determining ideal local office standards and measuring sites against them, (b) working with experts to assess variances in the cur-rent program model, and (c) creating more financial accountability and transparency at the local and national level. These efforts will foster the ongoing growth of NSP’s client base and will ensure that each NSP client receives in-depth and effective service.

DEVELOP SKILLS AND ABILITIES OF VOLUNTEERS, STAFF MEMBERS, AND BOARD MEMBERS: NSP has focused on the effectiveness of the people who carry out its mission, from full-time staff members, to local volunteers, to national and local board members. In the 2004-2005 Program Year, NSP achieved this goal by clarifying roles and expectations across the organization, and specifically by increasing the knowledge and skill base of our volunteers. From enhancing training to establishing a national vehicle for the student voice, NSP is committed to ensuring that each member of the organization has a fulfill-ing service experience while making the greatest possible impact in our communities.

BUILDING CAPACITY

Financial Literacy Resource GuideConcerned with a trend in financial insecurity among NSP’s predominately low-income client base, NSP compiled a cur-riculum to help volunteers improve the “financial literacy” of our clients. The NSP Financial Literacy Guide covers a broad range of subjects from basic budgeting to home ownership. We believe that financial literacy guidance is not a supplemental service, but a tool by which all of our other services are enhanced.

Capitol Hill Day 2005As a compliment to NSP’s annual Summit, this year we launched “Hill Day” to give our student volunteers the op-portunity to meet with the Congressional Representatives from their Local Office communities. Students conveyed NSP’s mission and communicated the needs of their clients, whose voices are so often unheard.

Training Manual In order to ensure that NSP’s high quality national trainings are consistently replicated for each volunteer on a local level, NSP’s National Office produced a “Train the Trainers” guide to support its local leadership in educating new volunteers on NSP’s service model and best practices.

“Not often an organization says, we know you’re young, we value what you can

contribute, and we know you can change someone’s life.” –NSP Site Coordinator/

INCREASE EVALUATION AND MEASURE IMPACT: This year, we increased our ability to measure NSP’s impact on the communities and clients we serve. We know the NSP model works, and we want to be certain it is working for every client in every NSP office across the country. To achieve this goal, we have enhanced our data collection via the CORI System, NSP’s Central Online Resource Index. We also have continued to increase the amount and quality of the client feedback we receive through our Client Satisfaction Survey.

Measuring Impact

Who We HelpIn addition to services rendered, CORI generates reports on such information as educational history and client residential status so that we can build our local resources around the unique needs of our client population.

Note: All demographic data is optional on the Client Intake Form. This data is representative of roughly 75% of our total client base. Data drawn from NSP’s Central Online Resource Index (CORI).

MEASURING IMPACT

Keeping Track The CORI System: Our Central Online Resource Index (CORI) is a custom-built online database that tracks client, volunteer, and partner data. It serves as a key communication tool for recording client case notes and ensures seamless service delivery in the event that multiple volunteers are working on a single client file. The system also tracks all of NSP’s key client service metrics – every client meeting, each individual service provided to clients, and all key demographic data – which volunteers can export to Excel for in-depth analysis of client trends and local office performance.

I know what it’s like to collect food stamps and unemploy-ment. My family did it for years when my dad was out of work, even though my mom worked the equivalent of three jobs. From both my parents I learned to be socially conscious and compassionate. As English teachers, they also taught me the importance of education. Growing up in a town that borders rough areas of Philly, many of my friends came from the inner city. I graduated from high school and immediately enrolled in college, but many of my close friends did not have that opportunity. With a little perspective, I began trying to help some of my buddies make better lives for themselves. Last February, I found NSP doing exactly what I was trying to do for my friends, and I wanted to be a part of it. The structure and momentum of NSP gave me the knowledge and resources to help people in a more effective way. As I con-tinued to volunteer, NSP made me realize how my life experi-ences would be valuable as a leader in the organization, and I wanted that additional responsibility. I had gone through the same financial struggles as our clients and understood the

frustration, stress, and feelings of worthlessness that they battle everyday. I couldn’t just leave the office at the end of the day and forget about them. Fortunately, NSP as a national organization takes training and supporting its leaders very seri-ously and has equipped me with the tools I need to succeed. This is crucial because it allows for a successful and beautiful partnership that is rarely experienced in the context of mu-tual respect, learning, and friendship – a partnership between students, fortunate enough to be in college, and low-income community members.

Honestly, I feel like it’s the people I’ve met in NSP who are going to save the world. NSP has changed my life. Before finding the organization, I was very depressed, caught between a world of university privilege and one on the streets. Since joining NSP, I have become very active in many organizations and activities, and I feel confident assuming a leadership role in almost all of them. No matter where my life path takes me, I’ll always remember the work I’ve done and the people I’ve met through NSP.

LEADING FROM EXPERIENCE

DIVERSIFY AND EXPAND FUNDING BASE AND ESTABLISH NAME RECOGNITION: From the parents of our volunteers to our friends on Capitol Hill, NSP’s supporters have made the growth and success of the past seven years possible. The accomplishments of this year illustrate that the organization is well positioned to grow substantially in the years ahead – by increasing the range of services we provide, deepening our impact in communities where we currently work, and ultimately expanding to new communities nationwide. We know, however, that in order grow we must first bring in new, long-term sources of funding and expand public awareness of NSP’s mission.

Simply put, NSP’s program has grown faster than our funding base, and we are working to scale our fundraising efforts to meet our size and growth potential. We have laid the groundwork for a strong future this year by hosting several successful fundraising events, engaging more corporate and founda-tion partners, continuing our federal funding relationships, and making many new friends. We need your help to build on these efforts in the year ahead.
