Abstract	Materials to facilitate the evaluation of the competencies women acquire from domestic and volunteer work were developed, so that academic credit might be awarded for these skills, and so that women's entry or re-entry into post secondary education might be enhanced. The project staff reviewed the literature, contacted volunteers and volunteer agencies, developed a taxonomy of skill areas, located existing assessment materials, contacted colleges, developed assessment materials, and conducted informal evaluations of the materials. These activities are briefly described. A number of skill lists developed for assessing volunteer and domestic competencies are appended. These competencies include: volunteer administration and management, public relations and communications, youth group leadership, management of home finances, and child care. Each of these "I Can" lists defines the competency area, and lists 20 to 50 different associated skills. The lists are not intended to document completely the individual's acquired skills, but rather to stimulate each woman to identify and describe her own skills. Descriptions of college programs awarding credit for experiential learning and bibliographical references are also appended. (Author/MV)
