1. Arizona State Service Plan Input

The Arizona Governor's Commission on Service and Volunteerism (the Commission) requests public input to establish new priorities that can be effectively addressed through local and statewide service and volunteerism initiatives. Federal Regulation 45 CFR 2550.80 established that the State Service Plan be developed through an open, public process and seeks input from a broad cross-section of the community.

As set forth in federal regulation contained in the Serve America Act, state service commissions must develop and annually update a statewide plan for service covering a three-year period, that is consistent with the broad goals of the Corporation for National and Community Service in meeting human, educational, environmental, and public safety needs:

  • The plan must be developed through an open and public process (such as through regional forums or hearings) that provides for the maximum participation and input from a broad cross-section of individuals and organizations, including national service programs within the State, community-based agencies, organizations with a demonstrated record of providing educational, public safety, human, or environmental services, residents of the State, including youth and other prospective participants, State Educational Agencies, traditional service organizations, local government, labor unions, and other interested members of the public.
  • The plan must ensure outreach to diverse, broad-based community organizations that serve underrepresented populations by creating State networks and registries or by utilizing existing ones.
  • The plan must set forth the State's goals, priorities, and strategies for promoting national and community service and strengthening its service infrastructure, including how Corporation-funded programs fit into the plan. 
  • The plan must provide for effective coordination of funding applications submitted by the State and other organizations within the State under the national service laws.
