    Beyond Cans and Capacity Nonprofit Roles and Service Network Objectives in an Emergency Food Network
    (Wiley, 2017) Levine Daniel, Jamie; Moulton, Stephanie; School of Public and Environmental Affairs
    Many essential public services are provided through networks of community‐based nonprofit organizations. Previous research has demonstrated that simply providing additional resources to these organizations is insufficient to better address demands for public services. We also know little about how and why these organizations adopt network‐level objectives related to service provision. In this analysis, we expand the focus of service provision beyond capacity to incorporate the unique roles that define the very existence of nonprofit organizations, and how these roles affect organizational behavior with respect to service network objectives. We use focus group, survey, and administrative data from one hundred community‐based nonprofit organizations in an emergency food service network to explore the relationships among capacity, roles, and specific program objectives.

    Perceptions of Community partners regarding the Sam H. Jones Community Service Scholarship Program
    (2015-09-01) Hahn, Thomas W.; Brown, Lorrie A.; Peters, Adam J.
    The purpose of this evaluation was to understand perceptions of community partners who have partnered with the Center for Service and Learning (CSL) to host Sam H. Jones (SHJ) Community Service Scholarship recipients. Community partners were asked to voluntarily participate in an interview at the end of the Spring 2015 semester to learn more about their experiences with the Scholars and suggestions for program improvement. Their responses were de-identified and analyzed. This report shares overall findings from these interviews and provides general recommendations to improve the experience for both the student and the community partners.
