Consider Next Steps

Once you have taken some action to tell your AmeriCorps story, revisit you initial self assessment and reflect upon what you were able to accomplish.

• Did you reach the target audiences you intended—those who could address project needs or assist in meeting project goals?
• Were they open to hearing your story? Did they provide positive feedback?
• Do you think the community has a better idea of what AmeriCorps members do because you shared your story?
• How did you feel about sharing your AmeriCorps story? If you were to share your AmeriCorps story again, what would you do differently and why?
• Did you meet the goals that you set at the start in the planning phase?
• What were the results of sharing your AmeriCorps story? Have target audiences made a commitment to help with your goals?
• What follow-up is required?
• What additional steps can you take to share your story and further the impact of AmeriCorps in your community?
• How can you help to sustain and improve this impact?
