Letter from the CEO
“NSP truly empowered me and actually changed the trajectory of my life
… It was a transformative experience.” -Former NSP Student Volunteer

Dear Friends,

I have spent much of the past year thinking about the idea of transformation. As an organization, we traditionally
focus all of our energy on engendering change for our clients, our volunteers, our community partners, and our
donors. This year, we had the opportunity to think about another kind of change – transformation of the organiza-
tion itself.

As I have had the opportunity to share with many of you, this year we embarked on our first comprehensive stra-
tegic planning process with the help of Columbia University’s Institute for Not-for-Profit Management. Much like
the process through which we walk NSP clients, we uncovered our internal strengths and weaknesses, explored the
external factors that will affect us in the future, and set clear goals and expectations for the organization. We
rolled out an ambitious three year plan in May and are now deeply engaged in the implementation phase.

But, also like our clients, we need a lot of help to reach our goals. Throughout the past year, you – our valued
supporters – have provided the funding, encouragement, and guidance to help us thrive. For the second year in
a row, we nearly doubled the number of clients that we served and we saw promising growth in both the size and
commitment level of our volunteer base.

In order to help you better understand how these trends fit into our long-range goals, this year’s Impact Report
highlights our accomplishments over the past year within the context of our multi-year strategic priorities:

1. STREAMLINE ORGANIZATION-WIDE POLICIES AND PERFORMANCE EXPECTATIONS.

2. DEVELOP SKILLS AND ABILITIES OF BOARD MEMBERS, STAFF MEMBERS, AND VOLUNTEERS.
3. INCREASE EVALUATION AND MEASURE IMPACT.
4. DIVERSIFY AND EXPAND FUNDING BASE.
5. ESTABLISH LOCAL AND NATIONAL NAME RECOGNITION.

I hope that the following pages will allow you to see your support come alive, and I look forward to updating you
throughout the next year about the many exciting transformations to come.

With gratitude,

Kirsten E. Lodal

WHAT WE DO
NSP operates a national network of resource centers (local offices), staffed by student volunteers from area colleges and universities. Working
one-on-one with low-income community members (clients), NSP volunteers provide intensive on-site and referral services that enable clients to:
locate employment; secure affordable housing, health care, childcare, and other services; and pursue long-term career and life goals. Perhaps
most importantly, NSP volunteers provide clients with hours of listening and support services that are rarely available in other service agencies.

HOW IT WORKS
The NSP Local Office
NSP local offices are located in impoverished areas (accessible to
campuses) that exhibit high levels of unemployment, homelessness,
and other pervasive barriers to work, education, and service access.
Local offices are open to the community from 40-50 hours each week.
Offices are typically situated in community centers that house several
other agencies.
Clients
NSP’s target client base consists of individuals aged 16-65 who lack
sufficient access to the employment opportunities and social services
available to them. NSP’s clientele is generally low-income and/or
homeless, an even mix of males and females, and exceedingly diverse
in race, language spoken, religion, and ethnicity.
Community Partners
NSP enlists a network of local specialists through both its partnerships
and its Local Advisory Boards to connect clients to the services they
need. For example, NSP does not provide childcare, but each NSP of-
fice forms partnerships with local childcare providers that offer their
services to NSP clients as relevant situations arise.
National Support
NSP National Office
NSP’s National Office, based in Washington, D.C., provides local of-
fices with the full-time supervision, management resources, financial
support and tools that they need to provide consistent, high-quality
client service. The NSP National Office performs the primary financial
management, training and quality assurance functions of the organi-
zation.
Board of Directors
NSP’s Board of Directors provides the highest level of oversight of Na-
tional Student Partnerships, Inc., comprised of NSP’s 15 Local Offices
and the National Office.
Donors
Private donors create the foundation on which NSP stands, partnering
with the organization on both a local and a national level to enable
NSP’s daily impact on individuals and communities across the country.

Local Advisory Boards

All NSP offices are supported by Local Advisory Boards, made up of
community leaders within the human services, government, educa-
tion, and private sectors. NSP’s Local Advisory Boards ensure that
each local office reflects its host community’s culture and priorities.

Volunteer Leadership
Each NSP local office is staffed by:
• 2-4 Local Directors – Student leaders who are appointed for one-year terms and provide management and vision for an office.
• 1 Site Coordinator – A one-year full-time fellow (funded through the AmeriCorps*VISTA program) who provides capacity building support to
the local offices to ensure efficient volunteer performance.
• 15-50 Student Volunteers – Students who work directly with NSP clients to provide assistance in identifying appropriate services.

NO PLACE LIKE HOME
In my old neighborhood, drugs and crime were a way of life.
By my early twenties, I had been in and out of prison and
battling addictions. After cleaning up my act, a car crash left
me permanently disabled, and to make ends meet I went back
to my old habits. But, things were different. I was fed up. I
wanted more out of life and have been clean ever since.
Little did I know how much my past would affect my future.
Unable to work, I became homeless in 2004. Every day after
took away a piece of my spirit. Hopelessness and depression
were surrounding my life when, two months later, I became an
NSP client. An employee from the City of New Haven Disabil-
ity Services referred me to the organization to assist with my
housing search. With the help of NSP volunteers, I applied for
an apartment through the New Haven Housing Authority, but
my application was illegally denied due to my past criminal
record.
Sensing my situation was unjust, the student volunteers took
action. Together, we worked to develop expertise in city
James Sayles, NSP Client
housing laws, and they helped me navigate the system. We
found and contacted an employee from the mayor’s office and
several from City Hall to advocate on my behalf. These efforts
won me a hearing in June. Thanks in part to testimony from
NSP volunteers, my housing application was accepted! I have
since moved into a studio apartment owned by the New Haven
Housing Authority.
Aside from housing help, I have used NSP to understand and
navigate the public benefits system in Connecticut, to find ap-
propriate and effective legal aid, and to learn how to budget
on my fixed disability income. The fact that I just had a place
where people would listen to me and where I could “de-stress”
from life on the streets was invaluable. NSP removed the label
placed on me by the City of New Haven: “Criminal for Life”. I
am not the same person I was a decade ago. I am a published
poet and enjoy writing books. I enjoy a whole new set of hob-
bies with and around people who do not have any kind of drug
activity in their lives. The greatest reward I’ve gotten is not a
new apartment, but new friends.

 BUILDING CAPACITY

Capitol Hill Day 2005

As a compliment to NSP’s annual Summit, this year we
launched “Hill Day” to give our student volunteers the op-
portunity to meet with the Congressional Representatives
from their Local Office communities. Students conveyed NSP’s
mission and communicated the needs of their clients, whose
voices are so often unheard.

Financial Literacy Resource Guide

Concerned with a trend in financial insecurity among NSP’s
“Not often an organization says, we know
predominately low-income client base, NSP compiled a cur-
riculum to help volunteers improve the “financial literacy” of
you’re young, we value what you can
our clients. The NSP Financial Literacy Guide covers a broad contribute, and we know you can change
range of subjects from basic budgeting to home ownership. someone’s life.” –NSP Site Coordinator/
We believe that financial literacy guidance is not a AmeriCorps*VISTA
supplemental service, but a tool by which all of our other
services are enhanced.

Training Manual
In order to ensure that NSP’s high quality national trainings
are consistently replicated for each volunteer on a local level,
NSP’s National Office produced a “Train the Trainers” guide
to support its local leadership in educating new volunteers on
NSP’s service model and best practices.

 M e a s uring Impact
INCREASE EVALUATION AND MEASURE IMPACT: This year, we increased our ability to measure NSP’s
impact on the communities and clients we serve. We know the NSP model works, and we want to be
certain it is working for every client in every NSP office across the country. To achieve this goal, we
have enhanced our data collection via the CORI System, NSP’s Central Online Resource Index. We also
have continued to increase the amount and quality of the client feedback we receive through our
Client Satisfaction Survey.

Who We Help
In addition to services rendered, CORI generates reports on such information as educational history and client residential status so
that we can build our local resources around the unique needs of our client population.

 MEA SURING IMPACT

Keeping Track
The CORI System: Our Central Online Resource Index (CORI) is a custom-built online database that
tracks client, volunteer, and partner data. It serves as a key communication tool for recording client
case notes and ensures seamless service delivery in the event that multiple volunteers are working on a
single client file. The system also tracks all of NSP’s key client service metrics – every client meeting,
each individual service provided to clients, and all key demographic data – which volunteers can export
to Excel for in-depth analysis of client trends and local office performance.

LEADING FROM EXPERIENCE
I know what it’s like to collect food stamps and unemploy-
ment. My family did it for years when my dad was out of
work, even though my mom worked the equivalent of three
jobs. From both my parents I learned to be socially conscious
and compassionate. As English teachers, they also taught
me the importance of education. Growing up in a town that
borders rough areas of Philly, many of my friends came from
the inner city. I graduated from high school and immediately
enrolled in college, but many of my close friends did not have
that opportunity. With a little perspective, I began trying to
help some of my buddies make better lives for themselves.
Last February, I found NSP doing exactly what I was trying
to do for my friends, and I wanted to be a part of it. The
structure and momentum of NSP gave me the knowledge and
resources to help people in a more effective way. As I con-
tinued to volunteer, NSP made me realize how my life experi-
ences would be valuable as a leader in the organization, and
I wanted that additional responsibility. I had gone through
the same financial struggles as our clients and understood the
10
frustration, stress, and feelings of worthlessness that they
battle everyday. I couldn’t just leave the office at the end of
the day and forget about them. Fortunately, NSP as a national
organization takes training and supporting its leaders very seri-
ously and has equipped me with the tools I need to succeed.
This is crucial because it allows for a successful and beautiful
partnership that is rarely experienced in the context of mu-
tual respect, learning, and friendship – a partnership between
students, fortunate enough to be in college, and low-income
community members.
Honestly, I feel like it’s the people I’ve met in NSP who are
going to save the world. NSP has changed my life. Before
finding the organization, I was very depressed, caught between
a world of university privilege and one on the streets. Since
joining NSP, I have become very active in many organizations
and activities, and I feel confident assuming a leadership role
in almost all of them. No matter where my life path takes me,
I’ll always remember the work I’ve done and the people I’ve
met through NSP.
E x pa nding Our Network
DIVERSIFY AND EXPAND FUNDING BASE AND ESTABLISH NAME RECOGNITION: From the parents of our
volunteers to our friends on Capitol Hill, NSP’s supporters have made the growth and success of the
past seven years possible. The accomplishments of this year illustrate that the organization is well
positioned to grow substantially in the years ahead – by increasing the range of services we provide,
deepening our impact in communities where we currently work, and ultimately expanding to new
communities nationwide. We know, however, that in order grow we must first bring in new, long-term
sources of funding and expand public awareness of NSP’s mission.

Simply put, NSP’s program has grown faster than our funding base, and we are working to scale our
fundraising efforts to meet our size and growth potential. We have laid the groundwork for a strong
future this year by hosting several successful fundraising events, engaging more corporate and founda-
tion partners, continuing our federal funding relationships, and making many new friends. We need
your help to build on these efforts in the year ahead.
