From 2015-2016 more than 700 community members received training and resources for
volunteering and how to collaborate with volunteer programs. Almost 1,500 volunteers came out
for their VCSC days of service and community product. 6,451 hours were served during days of
service and other sponsored events. Nearly 6,500 hundred people were registered as community
volunteers through their online referral system. At the 10th Annual Awards Ceremony, VCSC
gave out 15 awards to individuals or groups in Middle School, High School, and college in
recognition of their volunteer service in the community. VCSC received national recognition and
received a 2016 Make A Difference Day Community Impact Award from Gannett Publishing and
Newmans Own Foundation. 413 students from Nevada High School participated in a
VCSCs sources of revenue come from contributions, in-kind donations, fee for service
programs, private sector grants, state and federal funds, local government funds and Story
County asset funds. Based off the number of volunteers and hour served in the community, they
When past attendees and volunteers have been asked about past events of the volunteer
center of story county, reactions have been very positive. About 75% of previous volunteers with
the Volunteer Center of Story County would recommend to other to volunteer with them as well.
Volunteers appreciate the organization and commitment that the volunteer center supplies with
its opportunities as well as all the opportunities it provides. Past attendees of the events that the
volunteer center hosted would also recommend their events. This is because of the strong
recognition they give to their volunteers and the large amount of support they provide.
Level 2 - Learning:
Programs include Days of Service that bring national attention to volunteering on several
days of the year including: MLK Jr. Day of Service (January), Global Youth Service & Story
County Youth Volunteer Awards Day (April), 9/11 Day of Service & Remembrance (September),
Make a Difference Day (October), Family Volunteer Day (November), and Giving Tuesday
(December). Youth Engagement Programs include school based service projects that provide
connections to community needs and organizations as well as seed funds for project supplies.
During the 2015-2016 school year, this program was launched by collaborating with Nevada
High School, engaged with 422 students in one day of service. The Youth Volunteering Guide
was also created to connect youth with agencies and opportunities across the county. Instead of
calling each agency individually all the information is in one place. Silver Cord Support is a
program being worked on for the future. Every year there is a Back to School Blast that over
670 youth and their families can receive basic school supplies, necessary health, vision, and
dental screening that have 150 volunteers participating. There is also a rummage RAMPage
where students can discard their personal property instead of throwing it away and it ending up
in a landfill. They have a Community Action Poverty Simulation Sponsorship program where
donors can donate money. Lastly, they have a summer learning program where students can
educate themselves more on income and health issues during the summer months.
Level 3 - Application:
The Volunteer Center of Story County coordinates monthly meetings for networking and
uses these meetings for professional development for not only the center but other organizations
as well. Youth Engagement Programs will help students to set up for future volunteerism and
service to their communities. VCSC can educate students with the skills and tools to help them to
continue their volunteerism from childhood into young adulthood. Within two to three years,
students will treat their volunteerism as a part of their life rather than a requirement.
Organizations can use VCSCs program to learn how to use volunteer programs in their own
Level 4 - Impact:
generations with knowledge on how to service their community. VCSC educates the community
on poverty through simulations that give the community an idea on what poverty looks like in
their area and how to make a positive impact on others lives. The Volunteer Center of Story
County has allowed over 700 community members to receive training and other resources they
need for volunteering or to collaborate with an organization. The partnering agencies meet
monthly to learn from each other and gain beneficial information and skills. Locally, 1,484
volunteers were assembled for VCSC Days of Service and community projects which allowed
the community to better now only on a physical level but mentally as well. No client or volunteer
in the 2015 year had been turned away from any referral system, and some events such as the
2015 Winter Weatherization event were at a maximum capacity for volunteers. The actions of the
center do not go unnoticed. They have received recognition from the Points of Light Foundation,
Gannett Publishing, Newmans Own Foundation, and the Ames Tribune in the 2016 year. 152
local agencies, groups and nonprofit organizations were actively utilizing the online volunteer
referral service in the 2015 year. We have concluded this number is probably very similar for the
Per the Volunteer Center of Story County website, for every $1.00 and every hour
invested in VCSC programs and services, it generates a return on volunteer investment of $5.51
in the community. There were 8,036 hours of service in the 2015-2016 year among the 1,533
volunteers that came out to help at events and service projects. ASSET funds made up 85% of
the VCSC operating budget for the reporting period of July 1 - November 30, 2015. The
Volunteer Generation Funds have decreased to $15,000. They were at $20,000, which is a 25%
After the event of the awards ceremony for the Volunteer Center of Story County the
success of the event will be evaluated through a few different outlets. First will be the presence
of the Volunteer Center of Story County on social media outlets. Through the events the
volunteer center hopes to be able to advance their awareness and impacts through this outlet.
Because of this the volunteer center hopes to have increases in their followers, and online
impacts. Another way that this event will be evaluated will be through a post event survey that
attendees of the awards ceremony will be asked to complete. This survey will have the attendees
evaluate the atmosphere of the event, structure, and organization of the event, as well as the food
and beverage, and more. This will give the attendees an opportunity to provide feedback, but also
an opportunity for the Volunteer Center of Story County to evaluate itself and its events they
host. One last way that an evaluation could be made would be through the funds that are
collected at or through the event. One major aspect for the volunteer center will be for funds to
be raised because the center needs funds to function as an organization. Therefore, evaluating the
funds raised will serve as how successful the event has been.
Event Operations
Registration:
For our event The Volunteer Center of Story County will send out invitations to the award
winners and their families to attend the event. Invitations will also be sent to past award winners.
Guests will be encouraged to RSVP online. If the guest does not respond online, they will be able
to register on site at the event. We also are wanting the VCSC to implement the use of their
social media more frequently. We would post the event on multiple social media platforms to get
the word out of our event. We would also like to use the Ames Tribune to promote the event
because of the previous help they have provided the center with promotion as well as reach out
to other newspapers such as the Story County Sun to notify people about the event and how to
register. To give back to the community, we would like attendees to bring a canned good as their
ticket into the event that can be donated back to the community.
Volunteer Program:
For our event, we will be using the website ivolunteer.com as an organized sign-up
source for all the interested volunteers to use. This website allows us to set up different time slots
for our volunteers to choose from. They will be able to simply create an account, go to our event
page, and pick when they would like to volunteer and what type of volunteer activity they would
like to do. We have broken our event into 3 different shifts. The first shift will be from 12pm to
3:30pm for set up. This shift will include set-up of the tables, placing signage around the orchard,
and set-up of the ABC sponsor wall. The second shift will be from 3:00pm to 6:30pm for general
things that need to be done during the event itself. This shift will include set-up of the caramel
apple bar, hayride operations, photo booth operations, and set-up for the award ceremony. The
third shift will be from 6:30pm to 9pm for aid during the ceremony and tear down. This shift will
include award ceremony operations, hayride operations, and tear down of the event. After
signing up for one of these shifts, the volunteers will receive periodic reminders from
ivolunteer.com on the upcoming event and what they have signed up for.
Wayfinding Map:
Part I:
Signs will be located at various points around Center Grove Orchard. There will be a sign
to direct attendees on where to park, where to check in, and welcoming them. Once they park
they will find a sign that points them in the right direction of registration. From registration, they
will see signs to the restrooms and the tent where the event will be held. Signs within the tent
will consist of a welcome sign with the Volunteer Center of Story County logo, a sign for drinks
and food, sponsors sign, and a sign with directions to the restrooms.
Part II:
Guests will drive in and park in the parking lots. Once they have parked they will enter in
through the Country Store. Guests will proceed from the Country Store to the tent where the
event will be held. Along the way there will be signs along the way directing them in the right

guests. We will also be having spinach artichoke dip with fresh made tortilla chips. This will cost
$200 per 100 guests. Finally, for our last option we will be having fresh fruit kebabs with
pineapple, strawberries, kiwi, and grapes. These will cost $190 per 100 guests.
types of sliced apples, with a variety of toppings. The toppings will include crushed nuts,
sprinkles, Oreo cookies, coconut, M&Ms, chocolate chips, and of course a lot of caramel. Pricing
will be around 100 dollars depending on the types of toppings that we decide to get.
Event Programming:
The focus of VCSCs Annual Awards Ceremony is to acknowledge the award recipients
but also have a family friendly event for the members of story county. During the event, there
will be a social hour where attendees can snack on hors d'oeuvres, have fun with the photo booth
and go on hayrides around Center Grove Orchard. Hayrides will be provided by employees of
the Center Grove Orchard and the hayrack rides will last for approximately an hour. The photo
booth will be nature themed since the theme for the event is environmental sustainability. There
will need to be volunteers to help maintain the appetizers, the dessert bar, the photo booth, and
the line for the hayrides. We intend to have minimal volunteers from VCSC because we want as
The awards ceremony will begin with opening remarks from the board of directors. They
will introduce each of the recipients; speak on their behalf and present each volunteer with their
award. Finally, the ceremony will shift to a fundraising opportunity. Attendees will have the
chance to buy a tree to be later planted in honor of the person who bought it. All the proceeds
will go to VCSC.
Sponsorship
Sponsorship Kit:
For the event, VCSC will reach out to Youth Volunteer Award Sponsors and Donors
which include, Iowa State University Student Activities Center, Greater Iowa Credit Union and
ILC Resources. VCSC will also reach out to in-kind support in the community to use as events
prizes and incentives. The in-kind sponsors will include Hy-Vee, Starbucks, Perfect Games,
Buffalo Wild Wings, Pancheros, and Fareway. We also would have other fun incentives such as
Adventureland tickets and movie passes donated by the community for youth attendees to win
throughout the night. This year we would like to do what is known as an ABCs of
Sponsorship wall banner. What this will be is a wall of the alphabet where sponsors or donors
for the event will get a letter corresponding with their name or company to show who is
supporting the event. An example would be Hy-Vee would get getting the H, and this would
show the attendees what companies support the community and this organization. To get on the
wall, a company or individual must donate $100 or more. We decided to do a lower amount so
we would be able to fill the wall better, and so it would be more of an incentive to sponsors to
donate.
Asset/Asset Valuation:
Being a sponsor for the Volunteer Center of Story County is very rewarding. This
organization strives to better the community, a company supporting this organization shows that
they care about the community and want to help make a better impact on the people living in it.
We would like to provide all our sponsors with the opportunity to be on our ABCs Wall of
Sponsorship to show the attendees who is in support of the community and this volunteer
organization. Sponsors will be recognized in many ways through the course of the event
including: their name on the ABCs Wall Banner, a verbal recognition, and a recognition on the
website. The higher up sponsors will also be recognized with their name and logo on a shirt,
social media recognition, an invitation to speak at the event, and a complimentary gift from the
Volunteer Center of Story County. We want our sponsors to know they are valued and that we are
very thankful for their general donations, so we want to promote sponsors as much as possible to

Pricing:
We created three different forms of pricing for our sponsors. You can see these pricings in
the sponsorship grid (see above) about of $100 for an ABCs Sponsor, $200 for a Sustainable
Activation:
After we have received all our sponsors, we will then start the activation of the sponsors
and with that we will use our systematic plan for sponsorship: announce our sponsors on the
website, and create as much exposure for the sponsors on social media and during the event. We
will try to incorporate as many sponsors as possible during our event. There is a possibility for
the sponsor to have a table/booth at Center Grove Orchard if they want to show off their product
and/or show their support. We will also work on a social media campaign to not only advertise
VCSCs event but also highlight who our local sponsors are. After the event, we will mail letters
of appreciation to our sponsors as well. We plan to ensure our sponsors have been fully
Fulfillment:
At this point in our relationship with our sponsors, we need to do a final evaluation of the
return on investment (ROI) for each organization. We will draw up a contract between VCSC
and our sponsor to show how serious we are about making this a partnership. This is where
VCSC needs to evaluate the relationship between the two organizations and how valuable they
were to each other. Post event, we will send out handwritten letters to give our thanks to sponsors
and any individuals who donated to our event. Our goal is to maintain the relationships with our
sponsors, this will ensure we can utilize their organization in the future.
Marketing
Target Market:
The following segments discuss the profile of attendees who we are trying to gage this
Segmentation:
Geographic:
The demographic, psychographic and behavioral segments of the target market are all
dependent on one limiting factor: geographic location. The Story County Volunteer Center has
many opportunities for reaching their audience in the Story County area. The Ames area has the
potential to reach most the primary and secondary audience. Per Nielsens ZIP Code Lookup
Tool, this region contains everything from wealthy middle aged families with kids to low income
middle aged people without kids. The average income of this area ranges from less than $25,000
to just over $150,000. The figure below displays the age distribution of age in Ames, Iowa. Ames
Demographic:
Demographics represent quantifiable characteristics of a population. Characteristics for
Behavioral:
Behavioral segmentation divides the market into groups based on their knowledge,
attitudes, and uses and responses to the product. For the Volunteer Center of Story County event
we are targeting families who have volunteered through VCSC or individuals who want to
benefit the community. Individuals who have volunteered for the VCSC are more likely to come
Psychographic:
Psychographics are attitudes, beliefs and qualitative information that united a specific
audience. There is a range in ages, so it is crucial to understand different value systems for each
generation. The primary audience for the Story County Volunteer Centers event are individuals
or families who find value in volunteering or caring for the community in which they reside.
Promotion of Event:
Promotion of the event will be done through flyers, social media, local public relations,
and invitations. The primary audience can be reached using traditional media, such as the local
newspaper. A press release will be created for the Ames Tribune and Story County Sun. We will
be in contact with local news stations for radio and TV interview spots. The event will be
promoted through VCSCs social media pages and through flyers for the community. Also,
because one of the main audiences for the event is a younger generation, a Facebook event will
be created to invite guests, along with generic print invitations that will be sent in the mail.
Branding Discussion:
The brand theme for this event is sustainability. The emphasis on sustainability and
volunteering makes the personal connection to the guests through their volunteering experience
and effect on the community. This concept will be integrated into pre-event promotion; including
media relations, event materials, and invitations. The brand will be found throughout the entire
event the day-of with the green decorations, activities and more. The design for the event
Event Positioning:
The Ames/Story County area has many events, along with the many events that are held
by VCSC. This annual awards event for VCSC will be unique in many ways and will be a whole
new take compared to their previous awards events. This event will be a fun and family-friendly
which will attract people of all ages. The event will not be the traditional awards ceremony.
There will be fun activities, food, and more to make this event stand out from any other event
Fundraising
Fundraising is an extremely important component to our event. This is an important
aspect because VCSC needs funds to run their organization. Without these funds, they are
extremely limited on what they can do for the community. For the fundraising aspect of our
event, we decided to raise money through an auction. The auction will consist of three types of
tree saplings that will be sold at various starting prices. The first type of tree that will be
auctioned off is Flowering Crab Apple Tree. This sapling will have a starting price of $30.
The second type of tree will be the a Shumard Oak Shade Tree. This sapling will have a starting
price of $40. The third type of tree that will be auctioned off at our event is the Autumn Blaze
Maple Shade Tree. This tree sapling will have a starting price of $50.
Autumn Blaze Maple Shade Shumard Oak Shade Flowering Crabapple
Starting Price: $50 Starting Price: $40 Starting Price: $30
To make this auction more enticing to people, we will have a day after the event where
people who bought a sapling can go out and plant it themselves. We will also allow the people
who have purchased a tree to have the tree planted in honor of a person/persons. We will provide
complimentary plaques that can be placed near the location in which the person decides to plant
their tree. The planting will take place at the Ada Hayden Heritage Park in Ames. Through this

feature technology in one way or another in new and unique ways. Through our awards
ceremony for the VCSC we are able to utilize technology in ways that the team best thought
would benefits the event. With the technology, we chose we could highlight the amazing work
that volunteers in Story county can do. We were also able to utilize the technology in a way that
With a large portion of the event attendees being the award attendees, children and young
adults, our team has aimed for this awards ceremony to be very friendly towards this audience.
Therefore, a fun and unique aspect that we have decided to bring into the awards ceremony is a
photo booth. This photo booth will be a great way to occupy our attendees while the awards
Once the awards ceremony is being held we are going to encompass more technology
into our event. During the event ceremony, we will have a slide show PowerPoint to help with
the outline of the program. This will help for the event attendees to have knowledge of the
organization of the event as well as a resource for attendees to follow along with the event. This
presentation will also be able to highlight the award recipients with a short entry as to why the
recipient was nominated, chosen, or just about the recipient themselves. This will keep the
Lastly, leading up to the event VCSC will make updates to their website to feature the
nomination process, this will be one aspect important aspect as the nominations will be detailed
on the website. The website will also be updated before the event with details of the awards
ceremony, this will be an outlet to let interested attendees know about the event. Along with the
website, social media of VCSC will be updated leading up to the event. The social media will
have updates of the nomination process and details of the event. The social media will be able to
be updated more frequently with news and detail of the event. This will keep the information
fresh in the followers of VCSC social media and up to date with the information. After the event,
has taken place the social media of VCSC can feature the award recipients to continue to
celebrate the great work of the volunteers that were chosen as recipients of the volunteer awards.
Event creativity
To make our event more unique we decided to host the awards ceremony at Center Grove
Orchard in the fall. The event is designed to be youth friendly, very personable and to inspire the
community to volunteer. To make it different than past years events we added fun prizes and
activities in hopes to draw more attention to volunteering and potentially increase attendance.
Our theme for the event is to be as sustainably as possible through our activities.
In efforts to make the event youth friendly we will have paper tablecloths with crayons and
markers for the youth to write or doodle on during the ceremony, this will occupy the younger
attendees of the event. To go along with having the freedom to draw on the tables there will also
be a giant piece of paper hanging with a word cloud asking, Why do you volunteer?. This will
get people involved and interactive in the event. The event will also feature unique center pieces
such as balloons, cotton candy, and assorted candy. A photo booth with props will be on site as
well to entertain our guests. Along with the photo booth we will also be purchasing a $10
snapchat filter or hashtag with live stream. This will serve as another outlet for our guests to be
During the event, we will also have a silent auction with potential trips, tickets to
Adventureland, Family Fun packages, movie packages, local vendor packages, signed ISU
basketball and gift cards to Hy-Vee, Starbuck, Perfect Games, Buffalo Wild Wings Pancheros
and Fareway are available. Another unique aspect of our event is that we having our attendees
use tickets to check into the event. This will serve as a donation back to the community as the
attendees ticket to the event will be a canned good. After the event, all the donations collected
will then be donated locally. At the event, we will display photos of volunteers and volunteer
events to share the recent work of the Story County Volunteer Center on a PowerPoint
presentation throughout the event. Lastly, towards the end of the event we will be giving away
bubbles as a take home gift for the young youth at the event, this is to ensure that the young

Executive Summary
The proposed plan for the Volunteer Center of Story County youth event is to be unique
in the way that the event will be youth friendly and personable. We will make it different that it
has been in the past by adding fun prizes and activities at the event that will draw more attention
and potentially increase attendance. We hope to have this event be a stand-out success compared
to previous years.
This event will be held in October at the Center Grove Orchard in Cambridge, Iowa. The
theme for the event will be sustainability. People will be attracted to this event because of the
unique food options, fun games, the attractions at Center Grove Orchard, the interaction and
involvement opportunities at the event and more. Unique factors at this event will be a caramel
apple bar, hay-rack rides, customizable table cloths and more. Adults and children of any age will
enjoy this event because of all the interesting and exciting activities, in addition to the fall treats.
This event will be a fundraiser for the Volunteer Center of Story County. There will be
many opportunities to donate, sponsor, and support this great organization. Registration for this
event will be both online and by phone, making it simple for frequent users of technology to
quickly register for the event. We plan to attract a total of 100 adults and children to the Story
County Youth Volunteer event. Our goal is to have county officials, business owners, families,
students and more in attendance at this event. A goal that we have for this event is to really focus
on recognizing what the Volunteer Center of Story County does. We will show the
accomplishments that the VSSC have achieved, projects they have done, and more. We look to
making this event one to remember for all in attendance and for the Volunteer Center of Story
County.
