CaliforniaVolunteers Seeks Peer Reviewers
CaliforniaVolunteers (CV) will be holding a peer review process this fall for our AmeriCorps State grant review and selection process. Participating in a review is an excellent opportunity for professional development and service. Peer reviewers will be exposed to new and innovative ideas in their field and engage in the grantmaking process of a major state funder of service and volunteering, while networking with other experts in several professions.
CaliforniaVolunteers engages experts from various fields to read applications and provide an analysis and rating of the quality of each application based upon established criteria. Peer reviewer comments and ratings are considered in funding decisions that determine how AmeriCorps resources will be distributed to support community partnerships in addressing pressing needs throughout California.
CaliforniaVolunteers is seeking a diverse group of people with expertise in a variety of areas who can assess the quality of grant applications during the period of October 8-24, 2011. Reviewers must be available to participate in an all day training event tentatively scheduled for September 23, 2011 in Sacramento. Reviewers should be comfortable reading a large volume of material in a short period of time and be capable of providing in-depth individual analysis and participating in small group discussions about the application. They will then meet via conference calls with the other members of their team for team scoring.
Past reviewers have been practitioners in the national service community, educators, administrator, managers, analysts, researchers, evaluators, and volunteers. Their expertise may be in the areas of national service, volunteer management, education, literacy and tutoring, human services, nonprofit management, public health and health services, disaster preparedness and response, public safety, the environment, and clean energy.
