Core Activities

All CivicSpark Fellows provide support through 4 core activities:

  • Gap Assessments: Fellows interview public agency staff and review key documents to determine current needs and work with Site Supervisors to finalize their project scope.
  • Service Projects: Fellows conduct a specific research, planning, or implementation project based on the gap assessment results.
  • Volunteer Engagement: Fellows establish new volunteer programs or enhance pre-existing programs to engage community members in resilience efforts.
  • Knowledge Sharing: Fellows sustain progress beyond their service year by training staff or sharing results of their projects with key stakeholders.
