This report presents the findings of an evaluation of goal accomplishment at Young Volunteers in Action (YVA) projects at three sites: ALexander City, Alabama; Gainesville, Florida; and New Orleans, Louisiana. First, a brief introduction describes the YVA program and discusses the evaluation approach. The next three sections present case studies of each site. A concluding section examines the projects' findings and primary effects. Generally, the evaluation found good goal accomplishment at the sites. Focus is placed on four major goals: (1) to mobilize the efforts of full- or part-time students, ages 14-22, in a focused and effective way, as volunteers (generally good accomplishment is reported); (2) to provide part-time or short-term service-learning (strong accomplishment at all three sites is reported; (3) to strengthen and supplement efforts to eliminate poverty and poverty-related human, social, and environmental problems (findings vary at each site, with accomplishment reported as poor at Gainesville and very strong at New Orleans); and (4) to create a sense of self-worth and civic pride (strong accomplishment reported at all three sites). Positive effects mentioned at the three sites involved the volunteers' acquisition of new skills, testing of possible career choices, and experiencing a job-like situation for the first time. An appendix describes the 37 individual volunteer workstations, volunteer activities, and recipients at the three sites. (KH)
