Welcome to the Senior Corps Performance Measurement Work Plan Library, administered by Project STAR!

Here you will find sample work plans from a wide variety of Senior Corps projects. The work plans available are only a sample of Senior Corps work plans and are not intended to be a comprehensive list of all possible service categories or activities.

The work plan library is constantly expanding to include more examples, so check back often!

Do you have a work plan to share? We are always looking for more examples. To have a work plan considered for the library, please send the work plan to star@JBSinternational.com. Be sure to include your name, program name, e-mail address, and phone number. In the subject line of your message, include the words "Submission for Performance Measurement Work Plan Library."

The work plans found here are a solid starting point for you. You can review them for programmatic ideas as well as performance measurement tips. If you decide to build one of your own work plans on an example found here, be sure to review all of the information and modify as needed to reflect your volunteers and their service.

Project STAR can help you develop work plans that reflect the unique characteristics of your Senior Corps project and that meet the requirements for performance measurement.

HINT: You may find it useful to browse more than one service category to find all relevant work plans. For example, if you want to find work plans about nutritional services, consider looking under "Congregate Meals" as well as "Food Distribution/Collection."

NOTE: These work plans are in Microsoft Word (DOC) and/or Rich Text Format (RTF) and are not intended to be used "as is." You should modify the sample work plans to meet the unique requirements of your Senior Corps project. This may include changing information about community need, service activity, inputs, outputs, and outcomes. Project STAR can help you develop work plans that reflect the unique characteristics of your Senior Corps project and that meet the requirements for performance measurement.
