Senior Corps Basic Logic Model

  • Community Need: The priority community issue or problem that the Senior Corps volunteers' service activities will address (e.g., seniors lack access to good nutrition, students are performing below grade level in reading, etc.)

  • Inputs: The resources needed to use to create or sustain community service efforts. Inputs include the number of volunteers providing the service, the hours of service devoted to the activity, the financial resources that will be expended on the activity, and any volunteer training.

  • Activities: What the Senior Corps volunteers plan to do to address the community need and to produce outputs and achieve outcomes.

  • Outputs: The services to be delivered and products to be completed by Senior Corps volunteers. Outputs do not provide information on changes or benefits in the lives of beneficiaries.

  • Intermediate Outcomes: Anticipated changes that occur in the lives of the beneficiaries, 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.
