Americorps Member Demographics

The data is prepared using AmeriCorps members who began service on any day in fiscal year (FY) 2017. The members may have served 1 to 365 days during their term. Members who are in never served, disqualified, pre-service, or deferred statuses were excluded from this analysis.<br>AmeriCorps VISTA and AmeriCorps NCCC race and ethnicity data come from the member application to serve. The code to extract the data between the two programs is the same.<br>The ASN race and ethnicity data comes from the enrollment form. The enrollment form may exist multiple times if the member enrolled in more than one term. It is not uncommon for each enrollment form to have conflicting information about the member’s race and ethnicity. The member may have enrollment form data for terms served outside of the timeframe of the dataset. For example, if we are reporting on members who began service in FY17, then a member who also served in FY16 may have race and ethnicity information in the FY16 enrollment form and no race or ethnicity information or conflicting information in the FY17 enrollment form. In the case of conflicting information, this analysis assumes each instance of race designation is correct. If a member reports themselves as “Asian or Asian American” in one enrollment form and “White” in another enrollment form, then the analysis categorizes this person as someone who identifies with multiple race selections vs. one or the other. In the case of ethnicity, if a member indicates that they are not Hispanic or Latino/a in one form, but that they are in another, this analysis assumes the affirmative—and they will be categorized as Hispanic or Latino/a. Lastly, the totals include the total results from the query plus the difference between the query and the raw count of members who started service in that fiscal year. The members who did not have a record in the invite table and enrollment table were added to the non-response category.<br>Senior Corps Figures come from the Annual Progress Report Supplement as of April 11, 2018.<br>Percentages are calculated from totals of the subcategories, excluding the non-response categories.<br><br>***<br>Microdata: Yes<br>Level of Analysis: State; AmeriCorps-Delineated Region<br>Variables Present: Yes - https://data.americorps.gov/National-Service/AmeriCorps-Participant-Demographics-Data/i9xs-fvag/abou...<br>File Layout: .csv<br>Codebook: No<br>Methods: No<br>Weights (with appropriate documentation): No<br>Publications: Yes<br>Aggregate Data: Yes

本数据集基于2017财年（fiscal year, FY）期间任意一天开始服务的AmeriCorps成员数据构建而成。成员在服务期内的服务时长可能为1至365天。处于从未服务、不合格、岗前培训或延期状态的成员均被排除在本次分析之外。<br>AmeriCorps VISTA和AmeriCorps NCCC的种族与族裔数据来源于成员的服务申请。两个项目的数据提取代码一致。<br>ASN的种族与族裔数据来源于登记表。若成员参与多个服务期，则可能存在多份登记表。不同登记表中关于成员种族与族裔的信息出现冲突的情况并不罕见。成员可能拥有数据集时间范围之外服务期的登记表数据。例如，若我们分析2017财年开始服务的成员，则同时在2016财年服务过的成员可能在2016财年的登记表中存在种族与族裔信息，而在2017财年的登记表中无此信息或存在冲突信息。对于冲突信息，本分析假设每一项种族标识均为正确。若某成员在一份登记表中自报为"亚裔或亚裔美国人"，在另一份中自报为"白人"，则本分析将其归类为认同多个种族的群体，而非单一种族。对于族裔信息，若成员在一份表格中表明非西班牙裔或拉丁裔，而在另一份中表明是，则本分析采用肯定性表述——将其归类为西班牙裔或拉丁裔。最后，总数包括查询结果的总和加上查询结果与该财年开始服务成员原始计数之间的差值。未在邀请表和登记表中留有记录的成员被归入无回应类别。<br>Senior Corps的数据来源于截至2018年4月11日的年度进展报告补编。<br>百分比计算基于各子类别总数，不含无回应类别。
