We appreciated very much the opportunity of meeting with you and Mr. Fisher and some of the · members of the staff which has been formed to move forward with the Voluntary Action Program. The proposal and the meeting could not have b een more timely from our standpoint. Our Council and other organizations in the Atlanta area have been working for fourteen months on the organization of a facility to effectively .and efficiently recruit, train and place volunteers. We enthusiastically support the idea proposed by the President as we understand it. I enclose a Memorandum which sets out the procedure which we followed in organizing and funding an agency designed to use individual volunteers and groups to expand , supplement and enrich programs of existing public and private voluntary agencies and to stimulat e the deve lopment of n ew and innovative pr oj ects or programs to solve specific problems in specific areas.

HOWELL �MEMORANDUM May 28, 1969 TO: Honorable George W. Romney Chairman, Cabinet Committee on Voluntary Action FROM: Eugene T. Branch Chairman, The Community Council of the Atlanta Area, Inc. This is to review briefly the background and present status of a planned volunteer citizens service project in the metropolitan Atlanta area. This area - encompasses five counties in the metropolitan Atlanta area. The project is being spon- sored by the Atlanta Chamber of Commerce, Economic Opportunity Atlanta, the Atlanta Junior League, the Community Chest, and the Community Council of the Atlanta Area, Inc. It also has the strong backing of the Office of the Mayor of the City of Atlanta. The Community Council convened the meetings of the organizations which lead to the formation of the project and the Council now serves as the umbrella organization under which the project is operated. 1. Background. The proposed project for the training and placement of volunteers arose from the realization that in the Atlanta urban area we are not likely to be able to expand services as rapidly as needed unless we effectively tap some presently untapped resources. If we undertook to expand the exist- ing services of public and private agencies in the traditional way, it would be years before we would have sufficient funds and trained personnel to make any serious impact on our problems. s •" 1"" 'l ~ .., �The largest untapped resource appears to be individuals and organizations whith would like to make a contribution. Effic- iently and effectively channeling this resource is not an easy task but it has been done in a number of cities and it was believed Atlanta has a unique opportunity to demonstrate an effective use of volunteers. In the late spring of 1968, we had a meeting of organizations which were being flooded with calls from citizens and groups which wanted "to do something." We met with representa- tives from EOA, the Mayor's Office, the Atlanta Junior League, and the Atlanta Chamber of Commerce. From this early meeting, it was decided that we should sponsor a luncheon meeting of organizations which might be helpful in either using or recruiting volunteers. This larger meeting included representation from about seventeen organizations. At that meeting a Steering Committee was formed and has been functioning ever since. 2. Steering Committee Recommendations. The Steering Committee consists of representatives from the Atlanta Junior League, the Atlanta Chamber of Commerce, EOA, Corrrrnunity Chest, and the Community Council of Atlanta. From time to time we have also had present representatives from the Women's Chamber of Commerce. The Steering Committee after a number of meetings reached the conclusion that the most desirable procedure was to sponsor a demonstration project to extend over a two, maybe three - year period. The project would be jointly spon~ored by the Junior League , the Atlanta Chamber of Commerce, Corrnnunity - 2- �Chest, EOA, and the Connnunity Council. would be "members." Other interested groups Funds for the support of the project would flow through the Community Council and be specifically designated for the Volunteer Service project. . ' I enclose a copy of a docu- ment entitled "A Coordinating Agency For Volunteers" and this sets out the general procedure which will be followed. This was simply an outline document from which we worked and does not purport to be a blueprint for organizing an agency for placing volunteers. In essence, the purpose of the organization is as follows: (a) Recruit and register volunteers and volunteer groups. (b) Screen such individuals and groups for placement. (c) Provide training for volunteers. This would consist of some classroom activity and some on-the j ob training. (d) Provide leadership on the effective use of volunteers and work with agencies and programs in which they would be used. The experience which we have had, and that of volunteer programs in most other cities, illustrates that the most dif ficult part of the job is training agencies to use volunteers effectively. (e) Evaluation. We would provide a procedure by which we would periodically evaluate the using agency and the volunteers. The Steering Committee was divided up into various task forces. One committee reviewed applications for the job of Ex ecutive Director. One committee, with the Atlanta Chamber of Connner ce, sought a suitable location for the operation . The Junior League, in conjunction with a subcommittee, undertook to rec r uit the Cha i rman of the committee s which will be responsible fo r th e var ious func tion s of the agency. It is cont emplated t ha t the pr oj e c t i tself will b e sta ff ed almos t entirely by volunt e ers. I I -3- �. __,_ ~ I One of the most encouraging developments is the express ed desire of the Junior League representatives to support the project not only with money but with a considerable amount of volunteer time by its members. 3. Funding The Project. The enclosed outline of the pro- ject has been revised from time to time. been added as a sponsor. Of course, EOA has Also, we have reached the conclusion that the first, and possibly second, year of the project could be adequately supported by $40,000.00 a year. The Atlanta Junior League has voted to support the project by a contribution of $15,000.00 during the first year and $10,000.00 during the second year. The Atlanta Chamber of Commerce has voted to provide $10,000.00 during the first year. The contribution towards the second year operation has been left open. The Community Chest is contributing $5,000.00 for the first year's operation. Local foundations are providing the balance of the funds. The Community Council has provided some staff assist ance and will continue to do so. EOA has also provided staff and consultant support and has pledged to continue to do so. I • 0 enclose a copy of a letter from Jim Parham dated March 12, 1969 indicating the willingness of EOA to be one of the sponsors of the project. I also enclose a copy . of a letter from Mayor Allen dated April 10, 1969 expressing the City 's interest in the pro ject. We have corfllTlunicated frequently yJith Mr. Dan Sweat in the Mayor's Office, and I am confident that we will be able from /: -4- �time to time to obtain assistance from the City. Mr. Sweat's office has been flooded with people and organizations calling to find out what sort of project or program they could work on and they have not been able to respond as they would wish. 4.

We have employed an Executive Director who is now working on a voluntary basis but goes on our payroll on June 1. The Chairmen of the committees charged with the different responsibilities of the agency have been named ·and are enlisting their committee members. We will spend about two months educating our committees on their functi6ns and getting our building in shape for operation.

Volunteers Unlimited is the name given to the project which is now being sponsored by the Atlanta Chamber of Corrnnerce, EOA, the Junior League of Atlanta, the Corrnnunity Chest, and the Corrnnunity Council. I enclose a copy of a letter from me to Secretary Romney, together with a copy of the Memorandum enclosed with my letter. The Letter and Memorandum are self-explanatory. I attended a meeting in Washington last Thursday and Friday, May 22 and 23, of executive directors and presidents of councils in cities having a population of one million or over. It was well attended. About twenty-five cities were repr esented. At the meeting with Secretary Romney and Mr . Max Fisher, our group first obtained assurance that the Voluntar y Action Program as envisioned by the National Administration is not intended to be a substitute for federal or state funds or programs - but is intended to be a supplement to these programs. We emphasized the fact that the nature of the problems in the cities is such that more federal and state money is r e quired - not less. �Hon. Ivan Allen May 28, 1969 Page Two At the Friday meeting it was pretty obvious that Secretary Romney would like to have gotten into a discussion of the Model City Program. As I am sure you know, the Nixon Administration plans to spread the "Model City" money over areas in the city beyond the boundaries of the neighborhoods now designated. We didn't get into a lengthy discussion but he did mention one thing which would be of interest to you and the people involved in the program in Atlanta. He said that preference in Model City Programs would be given to cities making maximum use of voluntary agencies and volunteers in the total community. It may be helpful to you and those involved in the Model City Program to point out that we have a project for the recruitment and placing of volunteers which is jointly sponsored by strong organizations and has the support of your office. We had a number of outstanding applicants for the job of Executive Director of Volunteers Unlimited. We finally selected Mr. Jack T. Mallory, Jr., who is twenty-eight years old and has had considerable experience with the YMCA and community organization. His employment is effective June 1. The Massell Companies are permitting us to use, without charge, a building on Gordon Street about one-half block from Ashby. This is a building formerly used by the Bank of Georgia. It is directly across the street from a branch of the Atlanta Library and a branch of the Atlanta Federal Savings and Loan Association. We think it is an ideal location and facility. During the next two months most of our time will be devoted to the organization of committees which will be responsible for recruiting, training and placing volunteers. One large committee will begin working with agencies in the accumulation of job de scriptions for volunteers . We still need some help in a number of a reas.

This is a service long needed in the city. The proper utilization of volunteer citizens is a very difficult task to handle. Matching these volunteers with community needs in the most efficient and constructive manner is some- thing that just doesn't take place without a lot of organization and constant attention, We have found in City Hall that on many occasions we have had to turn down offers of assistance from highly motivated volunteers because of a lack of proper machinery to coordinate the volunteer efforts, It looks as if the timing on Volunteers Unlimited is just about right and I am sure that we are going to be very thankful that you and the organizations took the inidiative to establish this effort now that the National Administration has kicked off the Volunteer Action Program in the Department of Housing and Urban Development. I hope that you will make our Model Cities people aware of what you have to offer as well as other City departments and agencies, Thanks again on behalf of the City for your fine work.

However , due to the fact that a quorum was not present, it was agreed to postpone this for a future meeting . The group then discussed the role of the committee and possible ctivities and programs to be accomplished. Some of the suggested programs or improvements included: (1) Alderman Farris suggested an ordinance by the Board of Aldermen prohibiting building of houses on unpaved atre ts. (2) The group discussed a demonstration project whereby a mall area (perhaps a city block) in the di advantaged neighborhood could be completely cl are d and inexpen ive but substantial singl f mily dwellings built back as rental property or as purchase -- �- 2 - property. As one area is c ompleted the program would then move to another area r a ther than taking in the l a r ge s e~tions as und er the pre sent urban renewal programs . (3) M r.

(4 ) T he group d iscus sed the value of a survey of the residents of the d isadvantaged areas to determine what they feel are their greates t needs and p r oblems . There were many suggestions as to how t o conduct such a survey including: a) A p rofessional sur ve y b) A survey ea1·ried out by amateurs (s uch as the EOA Nei ghborhood Aides ) as the p ople might discuss their problems more freely with this group th n with professional persons C omm.unity meetings with members of the Boa.1·d c) of Aldermen (S) It wa r commended sugg oted th t full time staff and budget be s p rt of a permanent Human Relations Commission.

Since most of the discussion centered around the probl ems of housing, it was suggested that Federal authoritie s from the Department of Housing and Urban Development be asked to attend the next meeting to explain their programs and the services this department can render in solving this problem.

As one area is completed the program would then move to another area rather than taking in the large sections as under the present urban renewal programs. (3) Mr. Massell suggested that a listing of problems and a schedule of priority of needs be compiled and suggested the Atlanta Chapter of the National Association for Inter-Group Relations Officials be contacted to obtain their recommendations. (4) The group discussed the value of a survey of the residents of the disadvantaged areas to determine what they feel are their greatest needs and problems. There were many suggestions as to how to conduct such a survey including: a) <A professional survey b) <A survey carried out by amateurs (such as the EOA Neighborhood Aides) as the people might discuss their problems more freely with this group than with professional persons c) Community meetings with members of the Board of Aldermen (5) It was suggested that a fulltime staff and budget be recommended as part of a permanent Human Relations Commission. It was agreed that the City should have one person responsible for all needs and activity in this fedld. The people of these communities would then know where to go with their problems and have confidence that their needs will be handled by this office. Since most of the discussion centered around the problems of housing, it was suggested that Federal authorities from the Department of Housing and Urban Development be asked to attend the next meeting to explain their programs and the services this department can render in solving this problem. Mrs. Paschall agreed to review the material and information obtained from the U. S.
