CSC Leon seeks to engage community volunteers to serve as members of various Evaluations Teams to help review proposals for funding from our upcoming application opportunities. When the Council releases Community Investment Partnership (CIP – community providers) funding announcements, the services of these diverse and experienced panel members that represent a wide variety of professions, experience, knowledge, and expertise will help to ensure a fair and competent evaluation and scoring process.
As a Community Evaluator, you will be expected to do the following:
- Independently review and score up to 20 proposals each;
- Participate in applicant presentations; and
- Discuss your scores during a public meeting.
Additionally, as a Community Evaluator, you must disclose any financial or substantive relationships with potential applicants (i.e., child/youth/family-serving organizations operating in Florida). Such disclosures are important to ensure Evaluators are not assigned applications that could result in an actual or perceived conflict of interest.
For the Summer Learning and Feeding funding opportunity currently open for applications, the following are important dates for prospective Community Evaluators:
- March 24 – 30: Evaluators independently review applications/proposals
- March 27 – 29: Evaluators participate in applicant presentations (all day on at least one of these days)
- April 6, 10:00 a.m.: Evaluators participate in a Public Meeting to review and discuss scoring
The window to apply for this volunteer opportunity is no longer open. New opportunities coming soon!
