How is the economic downturn impacting your program?

Hi everyone... I could have posted this in the sustainability section, or even the recruitment section, but I decided that this is most likely a general program management question:

How is the economic downturn/recession/depression/meltdown we are currently having in the U.S. impacting your program's services?

The obvious places where I would think that this is having an impact are mentor recruitment and fundraising. I've heard that most programs are struggling with donations and corporate sponsorships/partnerships, but I've heard conflicting stories about the impact on recruitment. Some programs are finding that volunteer hours are being lost to second and third jobs as their mentors try and pay the bills. Others have told me that high rates of unemployment are actually creating a boost in available volunteers...

And what about other areas of program operations? Is the economy impacting partnerships with other youth-serving agencies? Staffing levels? Parent involvement? Activities available to matches?

So think of this post as a place to share your story about how the current economic reality is changing your program, for better or worse. I'm really curious to hear what's happening on the ground out there and how you all are coping. I'm sure there is A LOT of wisdom this group can share about how this is going...
