Affected Public: Individuals and households.
Total Respondents: 12,000.

Description: The Corporation proposes to reinstate, with change,
the AmeriCorps Alumni Profile Card to send to former AmeriCorps and
VISTA members' home addresses requesting that they complete the card
and return it to the AmeriCorps Recruitment Office. The card will be
used by Corporation personnel and other organizations (only with the
explicit written permission of the respondent). The purpose of the card
is to enhance communications between the Corporation and former
AmeriCorps members, to provide them with information on Corporation
activities, and to seek their assistance in volunteer recruitment
activities.
The Corporation proposes to revise the AmeriCorps Alumni Profile
Card by changing the name to more accurately describe the information
collection and to include the members who served in all AmeriCorps
programs. In addition, the Corporation will delete unused information
from the existing version of the card, including removing questions
pertaining to meeting facilities and housing and collecting the
following data from the former member:
The exact dates of service from the person filling out the
AmeriCorps Alumni Profile Card.
Detailed information about the person's current interests,
occupation and expertise.
Collecting the person's cell phone number for those who
prefer to be contacted in that manner.
The Corporation also plans to gather additional information about
former members' current education levels. This will help the
Corporation to more accurately gear communication to former members who
may be interested in furthering their education or who may benefit from
a particular new initiative.
Further, the Corporation proposes to revise the AmeriCorps Alumni
Profile Card by asking former members to identify their involvement
with the Corporation or community.
Dated: August 13, 2004.
Timothy J. McManus,
Director, AmeriCorps Recruitment.
