AmeriCorps*State/National Basic Logic Model
- Community Need: The specific unmet need, problem, or issue in the community that your AmeriCorps program will address (e.g. low literacy levels, lack of affordable housing, watershed pollution).
- Inputs: Resources your program uses to produce outputs and achieve outcomes. Examples include staff, AmeriCorps members, volunteers, facilities, equipment, training curricula, and money.
- Activities: What your AmeriCorps program does with the inputs to produce outputs and achieve outcomes.
- Outputs: The services delivered and products completed by your AmeriCorps members. Outputs do not provide information on changes or benefits in the lives of beneficiaries.
- Intermediate Outcomes: Changes that occur in the lives of the beneficiaries and/or members, but that fall short of a significant benefit for them. These may include quality indicators, such as timeliness and client satisfaction. Intermediate outcomes are important milestones on the way to achieving end outcomes.
- End Outcomes: Significant changes that occur in the lives of beneficiaries and/or members.
