As a result of an evaluation of Florida State community service programs financed under Title I of the Higher Education Act of 1965, a set of 16 guidelines was drawn up. The first six, in order of priority, are: a project should be directed toward filling a community (rather than an institutional) need; objectives should be realistic and measurable; the program should involve the proper target audience; members of this audience should be involved in planning, execution, and evaluating; there should be realistic allocation of resources; and the proposal should indicate the nature and extent of interagency cooperation. Based on two components of projects (process and means used in achieving the objectives), evaluation criteria were established. These include: need identification; involvement of community leaders; communication and cooperation; followup; target audience; staff; dissemination of information; and preventative duplication. (NL)
