Impact Summary from the Nonprofit A Charting Impact Report consists of an organization’s responses to the five questions. Helping validate this self-reported data are three reviews. Once an organization has used the online interface to complete its report, its responses will produce a document with a unique URL that will be shared on this website, on your GuideStar profile, on the reports of charities participating in BBB Wise Giving Alliance evaluations, and – in the future – with other websites and information sources about nonprofits. We encourage organizations to use this URL to share their report on their own website and through their own media channels. Participants will receive guidance about promoting their Charting Impact Report, along with other benefits, once they publish their report.

Program: Public Allies Signature Ally Program

Budget:: $6,934,188
Category:: Youth Development
Population Served:: Young Adults (20-25 years) -- currently not in use; Young Adults (20-25 years) -- currently not in use; Ethnic/Racial Minorities -- Other Specified Group

Program Description:

Public Allies’ signature AmeriCorps program is a dynamic pipeline for talented young people from diverse and underrepresented backgrounds to emerge as community leaders. We identify talented young adults who not only come from the communities in which they serve, but who are committed to serving their communities in the future. Nearly 3,000 Allies have completed our program with over 80% continuing careers in community and public service. The Allies serve full time for ten months at a nonprofit organization, and develop their leadership skills through a rigorous weekly leadership development curriculum, networking with local community leaders and team service projects. Allies are placed with a nonprofit where they meet critical community needs such as youth development, education, workforce development, environmental issues, arts programming and community health. Our Alumni are more than twice as likely as their peers to volunteer, mentor and participate in political and civic activities. Nonprofits benefit from the increased capacity of an Ally working four days a week (full time) in their organization. Allies provide a human capital solution for both economic and leadership challenges. Because of the AmeriCorps and private resources Public Allies leverages, the average nonprofit partner saves nearly $20,000 compared to what they might otherwise spend for the same impact.
