Throughout the year, poverty and other critical issues such as immigration,
childcare, health care, housing, employment and welfare reform were at the
forefront of our mission driven efforts to transform lives. Perhaps most rewarding was how much the training, service, networking, and program development highlighted in this report were strategically utilized by constituents to make a positive impact in their own lives and communities.
RMSER has been blessed with a group of dedicated staff, enthusiastic volunteers and generous supporters. They have been, and continue to be, valuable warriors in our fight on poverty and, as such, we take this opportunity
to acknowledge how valuable they are to the organization, as well as, to the
individuals, children and families we serve.
2009 RMSER Board of Directors
Herman Gallegos, Treasurer
We are all aware that our state is in very challenging and tough economic
times. The economic conditions further affect the customers we serve and
has increased the need and the number of people we have served in
2009. The War on Poverty is not over, and now is the time for us all, more
than ever, to be steadfast in our fight to help those who are disadvantaged.
Thanks to all of you for making 2009 another exciting and rewarding year for
RMSER. We look forward to building on these accomplishments so that we
may better serve everyone in our community through compassionate care
and with tireless work efforts in order to create a more just and equitable
society.

RMSER Youth & Community Development
RMSER Youth & Community
Development Programs
RMSER Youth & Community Programs, funded solely by donations
and fees, provide integrated athletic, educational, and social programs that allow individuals to exceed their highest expectations by
enhancing self confidence, by
building moral character, and
through the development of personal goals - in the classroom, on
the field, as well as, in the world. Through this approach, individuals are being cultivated
to overcome personal, social and physical limitations. These life lessons will remain with
RMSER participants thus providing them with platforms for a lifetime of success. As a
result, RMSER’s Youth & Community Program achievements are measured by each participant’s accomplishments in both academic and wellness areas.
In order to carry out this mission, RMSER’s Youth & Community Programs Director, Jermaine Stafford, a former Olympian and professional athlete, along with his staff, combine superior training principles, expert academic coaching, systematic instruction,
skilled mentoring strategies, as well as, the commitment to facilitate phenomenal and
unprecedented progress in both youth and adult participants. As Program Director,
Stafford has developed a variety of affordable and no-cost programs that are directed
by highly experienced and reputable professionals for people of ALL ages. Some of the
youth programs include sports, music, academic, physical education and dance. Stafford will soon add to this menu a program combating youth obesity. For adults and
seniors there are exercise (personal training), young parent, and senior classes / support
groups. In addition, RMSER’s basketball program, No Mo Violence Cultural Dance
Group, Mestizo, and Sambos Illimani dance classes are open to people of all ages.
2009 Accomplishments
RMSER’s Youth & Community Programs measures its victories by individual participant progress. For some, the victory lies in increasing participant math levels by one full grade level within a matter of months. For
others, their improvement is evidenced by the increased number of books
they read on a monthly basis. In the area of health and wellness, there are
participants realizing the benefits of Stafford’s Adult Bootcamp Personal
Training Program, as well as, those youth participants participating in
RMSER’s athletic and dance programs.

RMSER Workforce Division
RMSER’s Workforce Development Programs
RMSER’s Workforce Division provides workforce development opportunities to individuals seeking employment and training services
throughout many rural counties in Colorado. The division is primarily funded by grants under (a) the Federal Workforce Investment Act
(WIA), (b) the Adult, Dislocated Worker and Youth Programs as contracted with the Colorado Rural Workforce Consortium (CRWC), and
(c) United States Department of Labor’s (DOL)167 National Farmworker Jobs Program for Migrant/Seasonal Farmworkers.
Under the CRWC, both the South Central and Southeast Regions of Colorado are contracted with RMSER from the Colorado Department of Labor & Employment (CDLE). In addition, formula WIA Programs are administered by RMSER through local Workforce Centers
in each region. RMSER’s South Central Region continues to provide services throughout a 14,558 square mile area encompassing eight
rural counties including Alamosa, Conejos, Costilla, Huerfano, Las Animas, Mineral, Saquache and Rio Grande. These regions persist in
having very high levels of unemployment and poverty in the State of Colorado. RMSER’s Southeast Region also continues to provide
services in the counties of Otero, Prowers, Baca, Bent, Crowley and Kiowa. These largely agricultural areas operate on an economy
that is primarily driven by agriculture and tourism.
Under the new American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA), both Southeast and South Central Regions have received funding to provide additional workforce development services to adult and dislocated workers. ARRA also funded a Summer Youth
Employment Program for in-school and out-of-school youth between the ages of 14 to 24.
Both WIA and ARRA programs utilize a priority of service model when qualifying participants. Applicants must meet qualifying
guidelines that are based on family size and income. Dislocated workers, however, need only to be unemployed and unlikely to
return to their former occupation, or have been laid off due to a plant closure.
The 167 National Farmworker Jobs Program is a program that is solely offered by RMSER throughout Colorado. As the grantee of this program, RMSER offers employment, training and support services to low income Migrant/Seasonal Farmworkers throughout rural Colorado. In addition to both RMSER’s Southeast and South Central
Regional local Workforce Centers offering 167 services, the program also provides services in other rural counties where there is a significant population of farmworkers
residing or locally employed. The following services are available to all participants of Workforce Division Programs:

On-the-job training offering up to a 50% hourly pay reimbursement for employers training RMSER participants

Tuition assistance to RMSER participants attending post-secondary schools or private training institutions

Work experience opportunities for RMSER participants who have never worked or who lack the necessary skills to obtain employment, with 100% of their wages
paid by RMSER’s Workforce Program on behalf of participants placed at private or public worksites
6
 Transportation, clothing, tool and/or equipment assistance to participants during their training or employment periods, with food and rental assistance available to migrant farmworkers
RMSER Workforce Division
2009 Accomplishments
 Awarded $1,619,919 through the Workforce Investment Act from the CDLE/CRWC. Contracted to continue providing
services to adults, dislocated workers and youth in the South Central and Southeast Regions of the state covering 14 counties. The Workforce Division has provided services under WIA, ARRA and the former Job Training Partnership Act since
1982.
 Through a competitive bid with the United States Department of Labor, RMSER’s Workforce Division was awarded the
WIA 167 National Farmworker Jobs Program contract for the State of Colorado. RMSER’s Workforce Division provided employment and training services to Migrant/Seasonal Farmworkers throughout the
State of Colorado since 1982. RMSER was awarded $980,226 for program year
2009.
 Under the ARRA, through the Colorado Department of Labor & Employment
along with the Colorado State Purchasing Office, RMSER’s Workforce Division won
a competitive bid to administer the Summer Youth Employment Program (SYEP) in
both South Central and Southeast Regions in 2009. A total of $462,797 was
awarded to provide summer employment opportunities to both in-school and outof-school youth between the ages of 14 to 24.
 US Bancorp Foundation awarded RMSER $5,000 to purchase software, which
provides assessment and basic skill instruction to farm worker participants.

RMSER Senior Community Service Employment Program (SCSEP)
RMSER’s Senior Community Service Employment Program (SCSEP)
At Rocky Mountain SER, we believe that achieving the American Dream is possible for everyone, regardless of
age. Our mission under the Senior Community Service Employment Program (SCSEP) is to promote pathways to
economic self-sufficiency for older individuals and their families who are working to achieve this dream.
Our goals are the enhancement of employment opportunities for older Americans and the promotion of older
workers as a solution for businesses seeking a trained, qualified, and reliable workforce. Our strategy is to utilize
a service approach that can respond quickly and effectively to the changing needs of business.
We believe that older workers provide a valuable resource to the needs of a 21st century workforce. Through
SCSEP, there is a strong commitment to provide high quality job training and employment assistance to participants. At the same time, SCSEP is committed to assisting employers that are facing the challenges of today’s
workplace by developing a viable workforce that is trained and ready to work.
Program Description: The Senior Community Service Employment Program (SCSEP) is a community service and workbased training program for older workers. It was authorized by Congress in Title V of the Older Americans Act of 1965 to
provide subsidized, part-time, community service work-based training for unemployed persons age 55 or older who have
poor employment prospects, and have a family income of no more than 125% of the Federal poverty level. Enrollment priority is given to persons over age 60, veterans, qualified spouses of veterans, and those with disabilities. Preference also is
given to minority, limited English-speaking, and Indian eligible individuals, as well as, individuals with the greatest economic
need. Through SCSEP, older workers have access to supportive services (medical, temporary housing, work related clothing, and other services) to ensure that training is uninterrupted due to personal needs, as well as other employment assistance available through the workforce investment system.
8
Goal: In addition, to providing community services and part-time work-based training, the program has an annual goal of
placing participants into unsubsidized employment. In Colorado, Rocky Mountain SER serves mostly rural counties and has
an authorized annual service level goal of 285 participants. Program participants train an average of 20 hours a week, and
are paid minimum wage (the higher of State or Federal). They are placed in a wide variety of community service activities at
non-profit and public facilities in their county of residence. It is intended that these community service experiences serve as
a bridge to other employment positions that are not supported by tax payer subsidized funding.
RMSER Senior Community Service Employment Program (SCSEP)
2009 Accomplishments
Over the Program Year of 2009, SCSEP has provided a significant and economic impact to many counties and communities in Colorado – most of which are rural.
During this period of high unemployment and economic downturn, SCSEP has achieved the following significant accomplishments:
Increased Senior Assistance — An additional 80
seniors were assisted with community service
training opportunities during Program Year (PY) 09
because of funding support from the American
Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA).
Seniors Served in Program Year 2009
SCSEP - Regular (185 Seniors) & Recovery Act (60 Seniors)
Name of Region
Community Service — Over 300,000 hours of
community service were performed by SCSEP parNortheastern
ticipants. Over 110 community based non-profits
around Colorado benefited from those SCSEP
hours of service.
Central/Eastern
Economic Benefit to Rural Communities — Because of RMSER managing SCSEP, Colorado’s
mostly rural counties receive an economic benefit
South central/ Southwestof over $2 million annually.
ern
Participant Success — Twelve participants had
successfully achieved full employment, and one
employer hired a SCSEP participant utilizing the
Western Slope
On the Job Experience (OJE) program. OJE is a
program where SCSEP pays the salary of the parJefferson
ticipant during a short training period with the
Totals
employer prior to full hire. Thus the employer
receives the services of the participant free of
charge for that OJE period, so as to ensure the
new hire of the SCSEP senior is a positive experience and result.
