1. Engage more than 1,000 volunteers in the 7th annual BIG Sweep, a County-wide roadside beautification program that also raises funds for any local nonprofit group that chooses to participate.
2. Strengthen and replicate proven models of summer youth service program at 18 volunteer centers within the eastern seaboard.
3. Train 150 volunteers to operate Volunteer Mobilization Centers so that spontaneous unaffiliated volunteer can be effectively utilized following a local or regional disaster.

Evaluation of VF and its programs is performed annually using the Points of Light Foundation/Volunteer Center National Network assessment tool which includes both Organizational and Program Standards of Excellence and benchmarks. VF?s programs are also reviewed annually by United Way Peer Review Panels. The Corporation for National and Community Service performs an annual evaluation of the RSVP. Youth service programs are evaluated through survey tools administered to youth, parents, and agency representatives where youth serve. The BIG Sweep is evaluated by surveying participating organizations and volunteers. In fall of 2006 and in 2007 community members, registered volunteers, and agency representatives were surveyed about volunteerism and VF?s programs and services.

Balance Sheet: Fiscal Year Ending June 30, 2007

Notes
The balance sheet gives a snapshot of the financial health of an organization at a particular point in time. An organization's total assets should generally exceed its total liabilities, or it cannot long survive, but the types of assets and liabilities also must be considered. For instance, an organization's current assets (cash, receivables, securities, etc.) should be sufficient to cover its current liabilities (payables, deferred revenue, current year loan and note payments). Otherwise, the organization may face solvency problems. On the other hand, an organization whose cash and equivalents greatly exceed its current liabilities might not be putting its money to best use.
