Policies and Procedures Manual

California Indian Manpower
Program Administration


Demographic Information:
The California Indian Manpower Consortium, Inc. (CIMC) is a consortium of Tribes in California. Each Tribe defines the service area for its own members. Participating Tribes have the option of having services provided only in the county where their tribe is located, or in the county where their tribe is located plus additional counties that they may want to include, or the entire state of California.

Type of Program:
The CIMC serves families and children through a certificate program. The last annual report stated that 113 children were served.

Effective Program Strategy:
The CIMC has a comprehensive Policies and Procedures Manual which is made available to their Consortium Tribes as well as to various members of the child care commuinity, including child care providers. The manual was developed based on the CCDF program plan preprint. When amendments are made to the plan, the Policies and Procedures Manual is revised accordingly.

Resources:
Only CCDF funds are used by the CIMC CCDBG Program.

Results:
The Policies and Procedures Manual expands on the CCDF plan and describes how the program is implemented and operated. It reflects the input and guidance of CIMC Tribes and community members since they are involved in reviewing the CCDF plan. The Policies and Procedures Manual is a valuable resource tool to CIMC because it assists with the daily operation of the program.

Lessons Learned:
Use your CCDF plan preprint to develop your Policies and Procedures. Set your Policies and Procedures in a format that is similar to your plan but in a format that is simple and easy to use for reference.
