VISTAs undergo a quarterly review, but that's not required of AmeriCorps members. However, it's a good way to see if all members are on track to meet their service goals and identify potential problems early.

Review a sample member evaluation that can be used at 90 days, six months, or 12 months.

Quarterly progress reports are also a good foundation for evaluating members' effectiveness. Check out different types of progress reports:

• Sample 1 provides feedback from both members and supervisors.
• Sample 2 is specific to a literacy program and gathers data for reporting purposes as well as providing a vehicle for member reflection.
• A short check-off list helps keep track of what reports have been filed.
• A quality of service survey given quarterly can pinpoint what a member needs to be most effective.

Also, see how one program provides formal feedback on the quarterly reports.
