We feel that providing examples of programs will impede applicants from thinking as creatively and innovatively as possible – two chief goals of Community Care Corps. We wish to foster groundbreaking programs in which volunteers assist family caregivers, older adults, or adults with disabilities age 18 and older by providing nonmedical care to help them maintain their independence. We are reluctant to make suggestions that could have the unintended consequence of limiting imagination on how to best assist these target populations. We want applicants to have completely open minds, free of any pre conceived notions or direction.
