Service Delivery Model
What is the CO-OP Service Delivery Model?

    The CO-OP Service Delivery Model has been implemented in
    order to facilitate the involvement of program participants in
    multiple activities and services.  It is our way of presenting multiple
    programs in a cohesive manner that maintains the integrity of each
    individual program while enabling our Case Management Team to
    maximize our ability to help those in need.


What characteristics to all CO-OP programs share?

    There are 10 components that comprise the CO-OP Service
    Delivery Model that is applicable to all programs we offer:

  1. Needs Assessment
  2. Counseling/Advisement
  3. Instruction
  4. Services/Activities
  5. Summer Component
  6. Extracurricular Activities
  7. Family Involvement
  8. Service Learning
  9. Integrated Services
  10. Follow-Up/Tracking


What makes each CO-OP program unique?

    While each program adheres to the Model, there is still a great
    deal of variety across programs that makes them easily
    distinguishable and allows for compliance with funding
    requirements:

  1. Application Procedures
  2. Areas Served/Location
  3. Eligibility Requirements
  4. Participation Requirements
  5. Instructional Content/Curriculum
  6. Frequency/Duration
  7. Documentation
  8. Evaluation
  9. Funding
  10. Stakeholders/Partnerships


Where do CO-OP's Outreach Initiatives fit into the picture?  Do they
follow the Service Delivery Model too?

    The CO-OP Service Delivery Model is applied only to our
    Opportunity Programs.  The Outreach Initiatives are community-
    based activities that follow different sets of criteria.  However, we
    make every effort to connect our Programs and Initiatives to
    maximize our impact on the lives of the people we serve.
