How will the program be accessible to target population (i. e. location, transportation , <br /> hours of operation) ? <br /> The key factor in reaching the clients of the Youth Volunteer Corps is through the efforts of the <br /> staff and the team leaders . Each team leader is assigned to a number of schools and specific <br /> projects . They are responsible for recruiting, marketing, and "reaching out" to the community to <br /> insure participation and interest . Each team leader has a regional area to saturate with flyers, <br /> calendars, sign up sheets, and announcements . They are also responsible for arranging <br /> transportation, if needed, organizing car pools, recruiting adult volunteers for transport and <br /> supervisory purposes, and for calling and following up on those who didn ' t make it to a project . <br /> There is a complex and intricate system of molding many forms of communication together to <br /> bring a project to a successful level . This system of " outreach" is significantly dependant on the <br /> dedication and efficiency of the YVC staff and the Team Leaders promoting the projects . <br /> 7 <br />
