Although CNCS doesn't require VISTA programs to report on monthly progress, tracking members' accomplishments every 30 days makes it easier to compile an accurate Quarterly Progress Report. Other benefits include:

• Providing data for funders
• Keeping a closer watch on members
• Helping members develop professionally
• Encouraging members to reflect on accomplishments and next steps
• Sustaining sites by providing information for future members

These two sample monthly report forms take a slightly different approach:

• Sample 1 is an easy-to-use fill-in form
• Sample 2 has open-ended reflection questions, along with a summary section
