handle is hein.gao/gaobabahw0001 and id is 1 raw text is: 'COMPTROLLER GENERAL OF THE UNITED STATES WASHINGTON. D.C. 20548 B-197895 MARCH 7,1980 The Honorable Mario Biaggi Chairman, Subcommittee on Human Services Select Committee on Aging House of Representatives Dear Mr. Chairman: Subject: 'Opportunities Are Available for ACTION '45r L 1-to Enhance Older American Voluntarism ' (HR -58)... As yo6 requested e have reviewed ACTION's administration of its Older Americ Volunteer Programs. During our review, we met with your staff several times to advise them on the status of our work. On October 17, 1979--with the agreement of your office--we testified before the Subcommittee on Child and Human Development, Senate Committee on Labor and Human Resources, regarding the administration, accomplishments, and direction of these programs. Since it was created in 1971, ACTION has expanded elderly participation in its programs from about 4,000 volunteers to almost 270,000 today, and most of the participants we inter- viewed were satisfied with their volunteer experiences. Despite these accomplishments, we noted additional oppor- tunities for ACTION to further stimulate older American volun- tarism. Specifically, ACTION should --ensure that its grantees develop and implement effec- tive procedures and practices for referring elderly applicants who cannot be placed in ACTION programs to other volunteer opportunities in the community, --establish formal procedures to encourage the use of joint sponsorship arrangements--whereby multiple projects are administered by a single sponsor--to more effectively match community needs and volunteer in- terests, and 111754 (013880)
