Exhibit "A" Scope of Services <br /> LGC has contracted with the Corporation of National and Community Service to implement CivicSpark <br /> as an AmeriCotps program. AmeriCorps Members can only work on service outlined in contracted <br /> performance measures (see below) approved by the Corporation for National and Community Service. <br /> These performance measures define how CivicSpark will provide this service to local governments by <br /> conducting assessments, implementing planning or action projects, engaging volunteers, and transferring <br /> lmowledge to local government staff. CivicSpark Members are only allowed to perform activities <br /> specifically outlined below and may not perform those prohibited activities as seen in Exhibit "F". The <br /> Partner's project scope must align with the measures below: <br /> 1) Capacitv Buildin� for Local Governments — Member's direct service hours shauld be spent <br /> building capacity for local government beneficiaries to address their need around climate change <br /> response, assisting them to develop projects that they would otherwise not be able to complete. <br /> Capacity building for CivicSpark Members will be delivered in 4 stages including gap <br /> assessments, research, action, and implementation service projects, volunteer engagement, and <br /> knowledge transition. <br /> 2) Volunteer En�a e�ment — All CivicSpaxk Members should have the opportunity to build further <br /> capacity for local governments by engaging, recruiting, and supporting volunteers. Volunteers <br /> may be engaged only one-time, (e.g. —volunteers to assist for a specific event such as Earth Day <br /> or service activities), or on-going, such as interns. <br /> 3) Training and Professional Development for Members — Members can spend up to 20% of their <br /> 1700-hour service year on training. Training includes the 2-week intensive orientation at the start <br /> of the service year, continued monthly trainings, and professional development and networking <br /> opportunities. Training hours ensure that Members have the training and tools they need to <br /> succeed in their sustainability work. <br /> The majority of direct service portion of the work provided by CivicSpark to local governments only <br /> involves the first two measures. The third measure is realized principally through training and <br /> professional development activities provided by LGC to CivicSpark members. Some activities that <br /> occur while working with local governments may be considered training and professional development <br /> such as networking events and trainings that might be hosted by the local government. <br /> LGC will perform the followin�services: <br /> 1) General Program Responsibilities <br /> a) Provide clear guidelines to CivicSpark Member regarding AmeriCorps regulations and <br /> expectations <br /> b) Recnut and train a Regional Supervisor (1000 hours over 13 months) to work with CivicSpark <br /> Members and Participating local governments <br /> c) Recruit and train CivicSpark Members to provide capacity building services for the region <br /> d) Work to provide support and guidance for CivicSpark Members, addressing any concerns that <br /> might develop during service year, and striving towards 90%retention of inembers <br /> e) Manage local government service contracts <br /> � Develop and manage local government project scope and deliverables <br /> g) Share outcomes from service with Partners <br /> 2) AmeriCorps Member Responsibilities <br /> a) Pass a state and narional and NSOPR background check prior to starting their service year. <br /> REV:12/19/14 PT <br /> Page 6 of 13 <br /> ATTY/AGR.2014. 265/Local Government Commission <br />
