Description of Requested Input
CNCS is inviting formal input from
the public concerning the update of the
current CNCS Strategic Plan. The goal of
the Strategic Plan update is to
accurately reflect CNCS’s strategic and
programmatic priorities for the next 4
years.
CNCS’ current Strategic Plan [https://
www.nationalservice.gov/about/
strategic-plan] leverages the strength of
grantees, participants, programs, state
service commissions and the American
public to build a network of programs
that offer effective solutions in the six
priority areas:
• Disaster Services
• Economic Opportunity
• Education
• Environmental Stewardship
• Healthy Futures
• Veterans and Military Families
We will produce these results by
investing in effective local initiatives,
engaging more Americans in service,
supporting evidence-based programs,
and leveraging public-private
partnerships. In addition to these
priority focus areas, CNCS has four
strategic goals, with accompanying
priority measures:
Goal 1: Increase the impact of
national service on community needs in
communities served by CNCS-supported
programs.
Goal 2: Strengthen national service so
that participants engaged in CNCSsupported programs consistently find
satisfaction, meaning and opportunity.

Goal 3: Maximize the value we add to
grantees, partners and participants.
Goal 4: Fortify management
operations and sustain a capable,
responsive and accountable
organization.
In updating its Strategic Plan, CNCS
is seeking to be even more effective in
achieving Goals 1–4 and its impact in
the six priority focus areas. Specifically,
CNCS is requesting comments in the
following areas:
• How might the Strategic Plan be
updated to reflect current community
priorities?
• What is working well and should be
further enhanced?
• What has shown promise and
should have a more prominent place in
the updated plan?
• What is less relevant in today’s
environment, allowing resources to be
focused elsewhere?
