Background The following is a draft summary of the general discussion of the members and friends of the Michigan Community Service Commission (MCSC) at the 2001 MCSC Commissioner Retreat at Brook Lodge in Augusta, Michigan on September 10 111 and 11th. The theme of this event was "Transitions." This theme was crafted to address the anticipated changes at state and federal levels that may impact the work of the MCSC. However, in light of recent events, it could very well be equally appropriate to use this theme to illustrate the changing times in which we will live given the horrific events of September 11,2001. Now, more than ever before, communities will need to look at local issues and find creative solutions to solving them. Creative volunteer solutions will not depend on the work of any one individual or organization, not just because of scarce resources, but because we will need more opporttmities to bring people together. This was clearly on the minds of Commissioners as they discussed the future of the MCSC. The staff of the MCSC has synthesized the feedback received from the Commissioners and offered responses in the form of specific recommendations for operational modifications for the MCSC. (The summary of the feedback from the commissioners is paraphrased and is in no way intended to serve as a verbatim recollection of the dialogue that took place at the Retreat). These recommendations are based on the principles and goals articulated in the "Future of MCSC Sponsored Service and Volunteerism in Michigan" approved by the members of the MCSC at their December 2000 meeting (see attached document entitled, "Future ofMCSC Sponsored Service and Volunteerism in Michigan"). Method The Retreat provided opportunities for Commissioners to (a) learn about the future context that the MCSC must operate within, (b) hear the advice and counsel of experts in the areas most likely to impact the future work of the MCSC, and (c) dialogue about concerns, questions and strategies that might help staff further develop their operating plans for the future-both long- and short-term. (A copy of the agenda is attached). 2 �Results Data from the retreat proceedings is broken down into three primary areas: • What did we ask? This section summarizes the fundamental questions commissioners asked both during the Retreat and prior. • What we heard? This section provides a brief summary ofthe conclusions drawn during the discussions of September 10111 and 11 111 • • What now? Finally this section provides the responses of staff as to how the Commissioner reconunendations may be incorporated into the day-to-day operations of the MCSC and can serve to define the goals and objectives ofthe MCSC's work both long- and short-term. What did we ask? • What o o o o are the forces calling for change? Why change what is not broken? Why should the MCSC exist if the ConnectMichigan Alliance could do it? How will the MCSC survive a transition in Governors and Legislators? What federal changes will there be and how will the changes impact the MCSC- if at all? • What if the MCSC were not around? o Is there a back up plan? o Is this really a concern given the many partners out there advocating on our behalf? o Should we dwell on the worst-case scenario or move on toward making the most of the potential changes (i.e. exploit the opportunities). • What does the MCSC look like in this new era/dynamic? o How does the MCSC change? o What will it do that is new? o What will it no longer do? o How will changes impact the way the MCSC conducts its business? • How can I (commissioner) continue to support what the MCSC will be doing in the future- both long- and short-term? o What are the specific tasks for each commissioner? o How can my (commissioner) skills, relationships, leadership and organizational affiliations be most helpful? o What component of the MCSC ' s work/needs can I (conunissioner) address? 3 �What did we (staff) hear? • • • The MCSC has done well with a tremendous amount of growth and steady focus on overall mission. Nothing is broken. No radical changes appear necessary, but a refocusing, refinement and renewal process for the MCSC's activities may be necessary in light of recent (healthy) developments. As a vital component of the volunteer service field in Michigan, the MCSC must further clarify its role as a grant-making organization while creatively utilizing the partners: o ConnectMichigan Alliance and affiliates- Michigan Campus Compact and Volunteer Centers ofMichigan o Michigan Nonprofit Association o Corporation for National and Community Service o State ofMichigan agencies with volunteer support services o Other organizations as the need arises What now? With the aforementioned questions in mind, the staff of the MCSC has developed a general action plan. This plan is grounded in the belief that people make the real difference in our communities and in the lives of others and that resources and support are needed to help Michigan citizens serve. The MCSC's role in supporting this belief is focused on making connections between the public and private sectors through resources and other forms of support that foster partnerships and that share the lessons learned. Above all, however, the MCSC will be asking itself, "What have we done to help others volunteer?" The Charge The MCSC will focus on directing, cultivating and analyzing public resources/support that can support service and volunteerism in Michigan in effective, efficient and meaningful ways and communicate the lessons learned. The Strategies Directing Public Resources/Support (focusing) • • • Allocation- effectively and efficiently providing flexible and meaningful resources to volunteer-oriented organizations. Collaboration- seeking out organizations to find ways to partner and maximize existing resources Coordination- working with existing volunteer-oriented organizations receiving public funds to effectively focus increasingly precious resources 4 �Cultivating Public Resources/Support (renewing) • • • Communication- publicly affirming and celebrating the good work that is supported and made possible through specific, appropriate and limited government assistance. Outreach- seeking out individuals and organizations that can benefit from the types of support that the MCSC, or that other partner organizations can provide. Education- informing leaders, policy makers and decision makers about the work of the MCSC and its grantees to demonstrate and affirm the need for public sector support for service and volunteerism. Analyzing Public Resources/Support (refining) • • • Research-examining where public resources for service and volunteerism can be most effective and least effective. Evaluation- taking critical examinations of the MCSC ' s grant making to determine what (if any) changes, benefits and lessons can be drawn. Dissemination- finding ways to share the information and lessons gleaned from the work of the MCSC with those who most need to know. 5 �MCSC Action Plan Issue/Questions Strat~ (Goal) Timeline Task(s) 6 Responsibility �Michigan Community Service Commission Commission Meeting and Retreat "Transitions" September 10-11, 2001 Brook Lodge, Augusta Agenda Monday, September 10, 2001 MCSC Quarterly Meeting Noon- 1:00 p.m. Lunch buffet in the Foyer of the Upjohn Building 1:00 p.m. - 2:30p.m. Commission Meeting in Upjohn Ballroom 2:30p.m. - 2:45 p.m. Break (soda's, coffee and cookies) MCSC 2001 Commissioner Retreat - "Transitions" The MCSC and the Michigan volunteer sector will soon be facing a number of changes. • The November 2002 elections will usher in a new Governor and a radically changed House of Representatives and Senate. • The Corporation for National Service is coming under new leadership under the Bush Adrninistration- Les Lenkowski as CEO and Steve Goldsmith as Chair of the Board. • The ConnectMichigan Alliance has formed as a hub organization for Michigan's volunteeroriented nonprofit organizations. How will the MCSC deal with these exciting changes and what opportunities for growth, innovation and susta inability exist in this new future? Starting to form the answers to these questions, in light of the strategic planning that has been presented to the members by staff, is our charge for this planning retreat. Day One- Perspectives on Transitions 2:45p.m. Russ Mawby will give an overview and introduce our facilitator, Alice Buhl Views from the National Ser vice Perspective Over 65% of the MCSC 's funding comes from Corporation for National Service to support national service programs including AmeriCorps, Learn & Serve Michigan (service-learning), and Promise Fellows (working on America's Promise). The Bush Administration has demonstrated its commitment to national service by ensuring that full funding for the Corporation for National Service remains part of the President's Budget as well as entrusting some ofthe work of his Faith Based Initiative with AmeriCorps. What are priorities of this administration and how will they impact the work of the MCSC? 7 �Day One- Perspectives on Transitions (continued) Alice Buhl will introduce Wendy Zenker, Acting CEO for CNS Wendy Zenker will give an overview on National Service at the federal level (20 min.) Small group discussions (20 min.) Small groups will report back with questions and comments (20 min.) 3:45p.m. Break Views from the Statewide Volunteerism Perspective Over the past 18 months, Michigan has taken on the task of ensuring permanent support for volunteerism in Michigan by forming the ConnectMichigan Alliance and providing long-term support through a $20 million endowment fund. Four organizations agreed to devote their energies to building this support structure. Now, what does the future look like in this new reality? What will the MCSC do differently given this new paradigm? 4:00p.m. ConnectMichigan Alliance/context with overview (Felt board exercise) with Kyle Caldwell who will introduce John Lore, CEO of ConnectMichigan Alliance, Ed Blews, Chair of ConnectMichigan Alliance, Sam Singh, CEO of the Michigan Nonprofit Association (30 min.) .

While in office, no other Michigan Governor has demonstrated as much support for the nonprofit sector and the volunteers that make up the workforce for this sector than John Engler. No other First Lady has demonstrated a willingness and ability to lead, as has our own Michelle Engler. Their efforts have produced one of the nation's first state commissions on service, the nation 's only state-funded volunteer resource center endowment grant, a host of national service programs, a premiere volunteer recognition program and a series of meetings and conferences to discuss how government can do its work better for our state' s volunteer sector. Finally, through their championing the work of the MCSC, the Michigan Legislature has provided its support through codifying legislation and annual appropriations of $2 million in state funding . 8 �Day One - Perspectives on Transitions (continued) Views from the State Political Perspective (continued) Soon, these supporters will be gone due to term limits. After November of2002, no member of the Michigan House of Representatives will have been in office when the MCSC was formed . The Governor and First Lady will not have the name Engler and the Senate will have only a handful of members returning from the previous body. How can the MCSC maintain it relationships with key officials and how can it ensure support from the next Governor and Legislature for Michigan 's volunteer sector? 8:00p.m. Terry Pruitt will introduce guest speakers for evening program - Bill Ballenger from Inside Michigan Politics and William Rustem from Public Sector Consultants. (30 min. Q & A) 9:30p.m. Program ends. End of Day One. 9 �Tuesday, September 11, 2001 Day Two - Reflections and Commitments Armed with the opinions and evidence from the expet1s AND in light of the strategic plan adopted last year, what are the next steps for the MCSC? How should it communicate its purpose? Should the MCSC do business differently? If so, how? If not, why? What should the short (12 months) and long (five years) goals of this organization be in light of these facts? What can each commissioner, staff member and friend do to support Michigan 's Volunteers now and into the future? 7:00a.m.- 8:00a.m. Breakfast Buffet in the Dining Room and checkout of rooms (Check-out is oon but no other time) Reflections -What did I learn?

Refonns to the Corporation for National and Community Service as articulated in testimony offered by Michigan to Congress and by the nation's governors is adopted (see May 18, 1995 Testimony ofMichelle Engler, before the House Government Refonn and Oversight Subcommittee on Human Resources and Intergovernmental Operations and the National Governor's Association National Service Policy, HR-24); 2. Programs funded by the Corporation for National and Community Service should be coordinated through a coordinated plan that crosses all "streams of service" and that focuses resources, coordination, administration and accountability on the state and local levels; 3. Adequate and flexible funding for programming, training and technical assistance, evaluation and administration should be afforded to states and communities to effectively operate national service programs; �4. Barriers to those who wish to serve and are on public assistance or who wish to transfer their benefits to others should be removed; 5. Methods of accountability and oversight should be balanced with the national service resources made available for those functions; and 6. States and local communities should be provided the greatest level of flexibility to fully utilize national service resources and match those resources with local needs. Adoption of these recommendations and the swift passage of reauthorizing legislation will provide the continuing support Michigan's national service network needs to sustain its noble efforts. Adopted by the members of the Michigan Community Service Commission December 14, 2001. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Capitol A venue George W. Romney Building, 4th Floor Lansing, Michigan 48913 (517) 335-4295 (517) 373-4977 FAX FAX COVER SHEET To: Executive Committee Members (Commissioner Mawby, Pruitt, Pickard, Engler, Smith) FROM: Kyle Caldwell / Date: November 16, 2001 f!___ NUMBER OF PAGES INCLUDING THE COVER: (p MESSAGE: Attached are two pieces to add to our discussion this morning: 1. The Call to Service Act of 2001 This is a summary of the McCain/Bayh Bill. 2. Legislative and Policy Ideas for National Service On the second page you will note the call for a national commission that mentions Mrs. Engler. �The Call to Service Act of 2001 Bill Summary To revamp national service programs and expand the opportunities for Americans to serve, Senators Evan Bayh (D-IN) and John McCain (R-AZ) have proposed legislation with the following components: AmeriCorps Expands AmeriCorps to 250,000 members. The goal ofthe bill is to make national service available to every young person. Currently, more than 50,000 individuals serve in AmeriCorps. The legislation expands the number of AmeriCorps members to 250,000 by 2010, which will allow more communities to reap the benefits of service. Links AmeriCorps to Homeland Defense. Directs the Corporation for National Service to work with the Office of Homeland Security to determine ways of promoting national security through national service programs. Requires State Commissions on National Service to consult with the State Emergency Management Agency to determine ways of using national service programs for emergency management. Mandates that 50% of the increase in participants be designated for Homeland Security or public safety. Lifts the cap on the amount the Corporation for National Service can give in direct funding to national non-profits. The National and Community Service Act of 1990 designates 113 of AmeriCorps funding for State Commissions through formula grants, 113 to State Commissions through competitive grants, and 113 to national organizations. Every year, Congressional appropriators place a cap on the amount of funding allowed to go directly to national non-profits. This cap placed is not near the 113 authorized by the act. By lifting the cap, more non-profits will be able to apply for grants from AmeriCorps, which will help expand participation. Direct funding through national AmeriCorps gives the programs greater flexibility to expand nationally. Eliminates the tax on post service education awards. AmeriCorps volunteers receive an education award of$4, 725 to help fmance college or pay back student loans. This award is currently considered taxable income. The legislation excludes the education award from the recipient's gross income. Accountability. Requires the Corporation for National Service to commission a yearly study by an independent third party to report on the outcomes and effectiveness of AmeriCorps programs. Requires the results of this study be reported to Congress. Voucher demonstration program. Authorizes $1 million for the Corporation to develop a voucher demonstration program for AmeriCorps participants to perform national service. Challenge Grants for National Service The National and Community Service Act of 1990 contains provisions for a challenge grant program. Under this program the Corporation may provide not more than $1 for each $1 raised by a national service program from private resources. This grant program could be used by private, public, and nonprofit organizations that have high quality national service programs. This program has never been utilized because money has never been appropriated. The bill authorizes $100 million for this program, allowing for big, visible national service programs with demonstrable results. �Serve Study When Congress designed the college work-study pro grain, its purpose was to encourage students to participate in community service activities. Today, most work-study funds are used to finance low-paying jobs for the colleges and universities such as food service. A 1991 General Accounting Office study found that only a small percentage of work-study funds were being used for community service. In response to the study, Congress raised the percentage of funds that must be used for community service from 5 to 7%. Even with this increase, only one out of every fifteen work-study dollars is being used for community service. The bill increases this percentage to 25% by 2010. Senior Service Increases participation for all seniors 55 or older to serve their communities in a variety of capacities, including education, long-term care and serving as foster grandparents. Removes the low-income requirement for participation in all three Senior Service programs and provides low-income seniors with a stipend for service. Creates a competitive grant program to provide seniors with training both to prepare and encourage them to serve. Establishes a demonstration and competitive grant system to promote additional service opportunities to meet unmet national, state, and local needs including the areas of public safety, health and human services and child development. Creates the Silver Scholarship program. This program rewards a senior with a $1,000 education award for 500 hours of tutoring and mentoring which could be used for the education of a child designated by the senior volunteer. Reauthorizes the current programs. Encourage Military Enlistments "18-18-18 plan." Creates a short-term enlistment option (known as the "18-18-18 plan"), 18 months active duty service plus 18 months military reserve service plus $18,000 educational payment at the end of service. "National Service Plan (NSP) Candidates" will enter the service regardless of ASVAB testing scores as an E-1 and after completing the total minimum required military service, 18 months active duty, plus 18 months reserve duty, then they would receive a severance/educational pay of$18,000. ''NSP Candidates" who desire to serve beyond their initial active duty service would be allowed under the current recruitment programs service-wide. ''NSP Candidates" will have to meet minimum military medical and physical readiness requirements. The plan uses the Junior Reserve Officer Training Corps (JROTC) model for bringing back military retirees as basic training school instructors in order to augment military service basic training schools throughout the country, serving the purpose ofincreasing throughput in services's boot camps, creating jobs for recent military �retirees, and reducing costs to the Pentagon because additional instructors would cost only half as much since military retirees already receive half of their active duty salary. Improvements to the Montgomery GI Bill. Doubles the Montgomery GI Bill benefits from $7,800 to $15,600 annually for three years. Increases the pay in period to two years for the GI Bill instead of one for the traditional terms of military service (i.e., 4 or 6 years of military service). Authorizes the transferability of GI Bill educational benefits from servicemember/veteran to their children. Eliminates the 10-year requirement or expiration date from the date of separation from military service for use ofthe GI Bill educational benefits. Recruiter Access to College Campuses. Increases efforts to ensure maximum accessibility to colleges and high schools by military service recruiters and to close loopholes in current recruiting access statutes, especially where colleges may be allowing access but not providing, in the spirit of the law, full access to recruiters in terms ofboth information they require and reasonable physical presence. One way the legislation accomplishes this task is to provide a much more narrow and precise definition of reasonable access to students on campuses than currently is in statute or regulation. Commission on Military Recruitment and National Service. Establishes a 9-member Commission on Military Recruitment and National Service to be appointed by the Secretary ofDefense and Secretary of State to examine such things as ways to shrink the civilian-military gap and develop ways to bring in a larger pool of college graduates. �LEGISLATIVE AND POLICY IDEAS FOR NATIONAL SERVICE ~ATIO~AL HEADQUARTERS 285 Columbus Avenue Boston, MA 02116 Tel: 617.927.2500 Fill<: 617.927.2510 National service worlcs--and it inspires Americans of all ages. In just the last five years, more than I 50,000 Americans have answered the call to serve-contributing more than two billion hours of critically needed service to their communities and country, and positively impacting the lives of nearly 4.5 million children. The events of September I lilt have, as Senator john McCain said, "inspired patriotism and identified many more ways in which people can serve." National service is ready to go to scale. Recognizing this, we have oudined below eight legislative and policy ideas that we hope President Bush and Members of the I07"' Congress will consider making a part of our nation's objectives for citizen service. #I Toke Notional Service to Scale-increase full-time volunteers to 250,000 per year within the decode www.cityyear.org National service works-4nd it is time to take it to scale. In the past five years alone, AmeriCorps volunteers have reached nearly 4.5 million children. Imagine the impact that 250,000 AmeriCorps volunteers-contributing 425 million hours of service per year-would have in our schools and communities each year! Direct program cost would be approximately $1.7 billion (using proposed FY02 AmeriCorps allocations of $343 million for State/National Programs, VISTA and NCCC), excluding funding for additional Education Awards (about $500 millio~) . · A. BOSTON CHICAGO CLEVELAND COLUMBIA #2 COLUMBUS Support Homeland Security Estoblish AmeriCorps Homeland Security Teams When disaster strikes, America's "can do" spirit wants to respond. We believe that new legislation for national service should establish an intensive training program to certify AmeriCorps programs as Homeland Security T earns, focused on disaster response and relief. These teams would be ready to assist local authorities with clean-up and rebuilding. organizing volunteers, and collecting in-kind donations. They would also serve as public safety educators, helping communities (and especially children) understand public safety measures and feel safe. They would also provide free educational programs about the history of a political conflict or natural disaster, and serve as a hub of information and referrals about the disaster. DETROIT NEW HAMPSHIRE PHILADELPHIA RHODE ISLAND SAN ANTONIO £1;te "Otizen Response Corps" for Disaster Relief Another component of Homeland Security T earns might be an elite corps of 1,000 highly trained AmeriCorps volunteers who focus entirely on disaster response. These members might be recruited from the military as well as other AmeriCorps experiences. When not actively engaged in disaster response, this corps would be involved in disaster preparedness and training in highly vulnerable areas. S\AN JOSE/SILICON VALLEY SEAffiE/KING COUNTY WASHINGTON, DC J.. First Responders Professional Corps Using the model established by the National Association for Public Interest Law, which engages professional lawyers as AmeriCorps members for a year, AmeriCorps should sponsor professional corps dedicated to police work, firefighting. nursing and other public health professions. In exchange for college tuition, AmeriCorps volunteers would train and serve with local law and public health agencies to become highly trained First Responders, capable of meeting ongoing critical public health and safety needs, as well as disaster response and relief. NATIONAL LEADERSHIP SPONSORS -· Cuct Smus COMPAQ #3 Establish a dollar-for-dollar Challenge Grant Fund for National Service of $1 00 million annually NATIONAL SPONSOR Government investments in national service should leverage investments by corporations, foundations and individuals, thereby creating a "marketplace" which naturally directs funding toward the most effective and promising initiatives. High-quality, established programs, such as the American Red Cross, YouthBuild USA, Public Allies, Habitat for Humanity and Teach for Published by Oty Year, Inc. 111510 I PUTTING IDEALISM TO WORK �America could compete for $1 00 million annually, raising a I: I match in cash and in-kind resources from the private sector. #4 Turn "Work-Study'' into college ~~serve-Study'', and enable 500,00 students to perform community service Without any additional spending, the federal government could create the opportunity for college students to serve their communities by shifting the use of Federal Work-Study funds. Currendy only about 5% of such funds are used to support college students performing community service. College students are among our greatest untapped resources. We propose that 50% of Federal Work-Study funds be used to sponsor "Serve-Study" opportunities in community-based organizations for the 948,000 college students in the WorkStudy program. #5 Challenge 100,000 high school students to become "Summer Heroes" through service Enabling high school students to serve their communities while earning money for college would benefit the nation and promote civic ideals. Students could provide socially valuable services, such as tutoring in literacy and math, while setting a powerful example of civic responsibility. A "Summer Heroes" program would provide high schools students the opportunity to perform full-time community service during their summer breaks in exchange for a small stipend and educational scholarships. #6 Provide I0,000 high schools with a "Community Coach"--o servicelearning coordinator- to engage millions of students in service The outpouring of support from schoolchildren for the victims of our nation's tragedy, as well as the eruptions of school violence across the country draw attention to the need and desire for increased student involvement in community service. We propose that I 0,000 high schools be provided with a "Community Coach"-a service-learning coordinator, modeled after the national nonprofit organization "Do Something" whose program uses an innovative curriculum and year-round community-building activities to develop a new generation of leaders. At an average of I ,000 students per school, this would facilitate I 0,000,000 students engaging in service. #7 Create a bi-partisan Blue Ribbon Commission to launch a ••serve America" campaign This Blue Ribbon Commission would explore and propose a dramatic expansion of national service opportunities for American citizens. The "Serve America" campaign would link recruitment efforts of military and civilian service to create a powerful new call to service for our country. Potential Commission members could include: Stephen Ambrose, Senator Evan Bayh, Steve Case, Senator Dan Coats, Elizabeth Dole, Michelle Engler, Doris Keams Goodwin, Senator John McCain, General Colin Powell, Jeff Swartz, General Norman Schwarzkoff, Oprah Winfrey, Senator Harris Wofford, Tiger Woods and Jerry Yang. #8 Grow the Peace Corps to 25,000 volunteers annually The Peace Corps is recognized as a universally beloved program by Americans, and represents a key means of filling the deep needs both for the rest of the world to understand Americans' generosity of spirit and for Americans to have the opportunity to engage in an intensive and meaningful international experience as they teach the principles of freedom and democracy and learn about other cultures.

Check out http://thomas.loc.gov/ and review the section on Status ofFY2002 Appropriations Bills if you would like to track the Senate's actions in this area. There are a few important items to note regarding the FY 2002 budget proposed by the Senate. The Senate has "re-funded" the Corporation in response to the action of the U.S. House of Representatives that eliminated the funding for the Corporation. 2. Most programmatic areas of the budget were flat funded or slightly increased to make way for new initiatives. 3. Set asides have increased, further nibbling away at funds available for programming at the state level. Further, it is important to note that these organizations may, for the most part, use these funds at their discretion without any public input whereas states and other national nonprofit organizations must distribute their funding via a peer review process.

Review Executive Committee Meeting of April20, 2001 meeting Chairperson Mawby referred members to the April30, 2001 memo, which was a summary of the April20, 2001 meeting that was enclosed in their meeting packet. 2. Review of Executive Committee Report on ConnectMichigan Alliance a. Progress to Date on Board Membership and CEO Search Commissioner Pruitt Commissioner Pruitt stated that in the meeting packet there were a couple written reports. One was a financial summary and one was a report on the strategy in place now to complete the endowment campaign. Commissioner Pruitt stated that the Search Committee had conducted a national search and have screened the applicants down �to four finalists. At the present time the Search Committee has interviewed two ofthe candidates and will interviewed the two remaining candidates by the first week in June. Commissioner Pruitt stated that it would take a couple of weeks for negotiations with the finalist and then bring a recommendation back to the full ConnectMichigan Alliance Board for approval. Commissioner Pruitt stated that hopefully the person would start in July. b. Campaign Update- Commissioner Pruitt Commissioner Pruitt stated that the Endowment Campaign is moving along very well. Commissioner Pruitt stated that over the next 60 days, we should be at that 60 to 70 percent mark.

Chairperson Mawby explained the history of Brook Lodge and gave an overview of the agenda for the two days. Mr. Kyle Caldwell expanded on the agenda and informed everyone that Alice Buhl would be the facilitator for the retreat. C. Board Development- Commissioner Pruitt Commissioner Pruitt explained that the Board Development Committee (BDC) meet via conference call on March 21, 2001 and covered the following items as it states in the BDC report dated May 9, 2001 that was enclosed in your Commission packet. Commissioner Pruitt stated the BDC is looking for a representative from the faithbased community possibly from the Salvation Army. Commissioner Pruitt stated that Michigan has a new Superintendent of the Michigan Department of Education, Dr. Thomas Watkins. Who by law is a mandated commissioner of the MCSC. 3 �Commissioner Pruitt stated that the BDC is still looking to identify a representative from local government and labor area. 1. Al Swain resume From the disability community the BDC has identified a representative and his name is Alphonso Swain, a copy of his resume has been passed out to all of you. Please read the bio and background statement and I am sure you will agree that he is an excellent candidate. A motion was made to accept the recommendation of Alphonzo Swain as a new commissioner to the MCSC by Commissioner Collier and seconded by Commissioner Barfield. The motion passed unanimously. D. Public Relations and Marketing- Commissioner O'Day Commissioner O'Day explained that the reason the Public Relations and Marketing committee was created was to share with more people all of the good work of the MCSC. The committee met via conference call on April11, 2001 and the summary of that meeting was enclosed in your commissioner packet. During that meeting the committee discussed some basis topics such as benchmarks, markets, themes, strategies and the committee next steps. Benchmarks the committee suggested that the MCSC review the policies and practices of other nonprofit and government organizations and identify what components and plans the committee could use as a framework. Markets the committee identified volunteers, volunteer organizations, grant making organizations, potential grantees and nonprofits generally as target markets for the public relations and marketing plans of the MCSC. Themes the committee decided that the existing themes articulated in the MCSC visioning documents were deemed sufficient for incorporation in a plan. They include, "MCSC as Grantor" and "MCSC as an Information Resource." Strategies the committee suggested a number of strategies to address the public relations and marketing needs of the MCSC: 1. Use major grantees and grantors advertisement opportunities that showcase MCSC's grant making. 2. Work with grantees to make grant making more visible and be able to tie to legislators and communities. 3. Develop a brochure and online tools for MCSC. 4 �Next Steps the committee charged staffwith creating a 3-5 page document that would lay out strategy for desired outcomes, strategies and definition of role stakeholders. The committee also suggested contacting higher education institutions with strong business/marketing departments for help including Grand Valley State University, University of Michigan, and Central Michigan University. Commissioner O'Day informed the Commission that contact had already been made with Grand Valley State University and they had been extremely cooperative. Commissioner Lubbers stated that the business school - the School of Communications at Grand Valley State University would be honored to help the MCSC. E. Legislative Outreach- Commissioner Pruitt Commissioner Pruitt said a written report ofthe April19, 2001 meeting was also enclosed in the meeting packet. The committee members discussed several topics, which included reasons to target the Michigan Legislature, methods, legislative events, press and constituent relations, and federal perspective, followup activities. Commissioner Pruitt stated that at this time the committee had not came up with any formal plan at this point. The committee is still trying to figure out how we get our legislature on our side in terms of communication and understanding of what the MCSC is all about. There has been discussion on a special event to commemorate the MCSC 1oth anniversary and we would invite the legislators to attend this special event. The event would be held in the fall. Commissioner Weinstock suggested that each commissioner meet with their own legislator from their community. That would help to familiarize the legislators with the MCSC. Several commissioners made suggestions and comments and discussion followed. V. Executive Director's Report- Kyle Caldwell Mr. Caldwell asked Commissioner Pickard to talk about the CMA meetings with General Motors. Commissioner Pickard explained that Campaign Chair Michelle Engler and Julie Cummings had meet with General Motors officials and CMA idea was well received but the proposal still needs more "meat" and Debbie Dingell from General Motors agreed to work with the CMA and MCSC people to "beef' it up and resubmit the proposals. A. Service-Learning in Michigan Mr. Caldwell announced that he would be doing a presentation on what the MCSC is doing in the field of service learning. 5 �Mr. Caldwell explained that service-learning is a teaching methodology that focuses on two primary components. One is the academics, the things that students are now critically measured on and the second thing is service. One of the important components to quality service is assuring that the two are linked together and that it is not just service or servicing and it is not just academics. It's really a way of learning and making it real for students in what they call now an explorential teaching methodology. Mr. Caldwell explained why it is important is because students take an active role in their learning. Drop out rates decrease, attendance rates increase and discipline referrals decrease. It improves the overall school and community climate. The students learn in the community as well as serving in the community. Two very important points when you think about the term that's being flown around now, the disconnectedness, when people are talking about Columbine and that sort of violence happening when they don't feel part of their community. It also provides an avenue for students to become positive contributors to society and be seen as more than just recipients of service in the education system. The research to date indicates that service-learning has several impacts. First, academic achievement is increased. It increases the sense of civic responsibilities and enhances students' personal development and social and emotional development as well as their work skills. In Michigan, more than 41,000 students are engaged in service-learning through 32 programs that the MCSC fund through Learn and Serve-Michigan School-Based programs. And finally, the Commission study from Ferris State University says Michigan service-learning is more likely to occur in the larger districts, those with 3,000 or more, than those medium or small districts. We realize that it takes a lot of work and staff coordination in order to engage in service-learning programming. Those districts where you have the teachers and the support staff working together and it's going to take a larger district with larger resources. Mr. Caldwell talked about the new innovative grant program at MCSC called Community Higher Ed School Partnership Program (CHESP). This program is designed to bring together the partner community-based organization, higher Ed institutions, schools and community into one knit group all focusing on kids and service-learning. Mr. Caldwell talked about what the MCSC is doing in the future to promote, education and move service-learning forward in the field. Discussion followed with several commissioners giving their ideas and comments on service-learning. B. MCSC FY 2001 Budget 6 �Mr. Caldwell explained that a report from Garry Gross from the Finance and Administration Division was enclosed in the commissioner packets. Mr. Caldwell stated that the numbers that are quoted in this is the shortfall for the 2001 budget as it keeps floating. This is the current budget. Part of shortfall has happened, since we last met, because the Michigan Department of Education has ordered an overall five percent from this year's budget. Mr. Caldwell stated that the MCSC doesn't see any major implications with regard to operations ofthe MCSC but just wanted to give you "heads up" that in the future, with revenues being down, the MCSC may have to make recommendations and cuts. C. Office Relocation Mr. Caldwell asked everyone to look in their packets for the lime green sheet that gave the MCSC new address as of June 1, 2001. Mr. Caldwell then thanked the Governor's Office for their ten years of support to the MCSC. Mr. Caldwell gave an overview on the national service funding. There are new initiatives coming out dealing with the senior core. One being a Silver Scholarship and then one being Veteran's of Michigan for Youth. The Silver Scholarship regulations will be published in October and will be forwarded to you when they are published. Mr. Caldwell stated that he was unfamiliar with the Veteran's of Michigan for Youth initiative but will forward information as he receives it. Mr. Caldwell gave an overview on the faith-based initiative. Mr. Caldwell explained that this initiative has created a lot of fire from angles and directions that no one expected. There has been lots of discussion in Washington and as soon as more information comes out, Mr. Caldwell will forward the information to the commissioners. Mr. Caldwell stated that the Corporation for National Service would be meeting soon and Dottie Johnson (our former commissioner) who is currently serving as chair of that organization will be stepping down and Steve Goldsmith will become the new chair. Mr. Caldwell stated that also enclosed in their packets were reports from Paula Kaiser and Mary Grill along with information materials. Ms. Grill gave a brief overview of tonight's Governor's Service Award Reception and dinner being held at the Amway Grand Hotel. VI. Old Business- Chairperson Mawby A. Michigan's Volunteer Investment Grants 7 �1. Research Results Mr. Caldwell explained what results were found during this research. First, that there is no other program in the nation that combines volunteerism, grant making, and endowment building all in one program. Secondly, the most overwhelmingly, convincing piece of evidence available was that the graduated match rate does not work and most organization involved said that the one to one match rate was what worked the most effectively. And last, the organizations need more time in order to meet the grant. By the time they go through the application process and are awarded the grant, the time has passed to quickly. 2. StaffRecommendations (approval item) The staff of the MCSC recommends lowering the graduated cash match requirement of the Volunteer Investment Grant (VIG) Program to a 1: 1 for all successful applicants. In addition, staff recommends that the modification be made retroactive to the beginning of the FY 2001 program cycle. A motion to approve the staff recommendation as presented was made by Commissioner Wesaw and Commissioner Collier seconded the motion. The motion passed unanimously. VII. New Business- Chairperson Mawby A. MCSC's lOth Anniversary (Fall of2001) Chairperson Mawby announced that this fall the MCSC would celebrate their 1oth anniversary and would need to express thanks to the legislature and the executive branch for creating the MCSC and their help in supporting the MCSC over the past ten years. Chairperson Mawby asked Commissioner Pruitt to take the leadership in anything we do to celebrate the 1oth Anniversary be in conjunction with the fall legislative activity. Chairperson Mawby also asked that Commissioner Cummings and former Commissioner Johnson be involved in this event also. B. Nomination to ASC Steering Committee Chairperson Mawby informed everyone that the Association of State Commissions (ACS) has asked that someone from the MCSC be nominated to serve on the Steering Committee. Chairperson Mawby stated that after discussion with Commissioner Pruitt who also serves on the ASC board that they recommend that Mr. Kyle Caldwell be nominated. Commissioner Wesaw made a 8 �motion to approve the recommendation to have Kyle Caldwell service on ASC and Commissioner Neelis seconded the motion. The motion passed unanimously. VIII. Public Comment Ms. Martha Bottomley thanked the MCSC for approving staff recommendations to lower the Volunteer Investment Grant Program match. Ms. Bottomley also stated that for the previous grantee that would not be able to participate in the one to one match does not seem totally fair. Ms. Bottle also stated that the service-learning grant at MCSC is totally focused on schools and the MCSC should look at CVO's because they do a lot of great work with kids through service-learning. Ms. Bottomley also stated that she had been asked to work with the MCSC this summer as a guinea pig for some hard research in this field. Ms. Kaiser clarified one of the things that the MCSC is doing with the community-based service-learning program is to develop a participant impact tool that will be used for all of the MCSC CVO programs so the MCSC can have some aggregate data consistently to see the impact service-learning programs are having in the community-based setting. Ms. Kaiser stated that India Plough from the MCSC staff has been working to develop the tool and the MCSC is going to pilot it this summer at two or three of our programs. Then all of the CVO grantees will be required to participate with that tool next year. Commissioner Newport made a motion to adjourn the meeting. Commissioner Wesaw seconded the motion. The meeting was adjourned at 2:45 p.m. The next meeting will be September 9, 2001 at Brook Lodge in Augusta, Michigan. 9 � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Michigan Community Service Commission Commission Meeting and Retreat "Transitions" September 10-11, 2001 Brook Lodge, Augusta Agenda Monday, September 10,2001 MCSC Quarterly Meeting Noon-1:00 p.m. Lunch buffet in the Foyer of the UpjohnBuilding 1:00 p.m. - 2:30 p.m. Commission Meeting in Upjohn Ballroom 2:30 p.m. - 2:45 p.m. Break (soda's, coffee and cookies) MCSC 2001 Commissioner Retreat- "Transitions" The MCSC and the Michigan volunteer sector will soon be facing a number of changes. • The November 2002 elections will usher in a new Governor and a radically changed House of Representatives and Senate. • The Corporation for National Service is coming under new leadership under the Bush Administration-Les Lenkowski as CEO and Steve Goldsmith as Chair of the Board. • The ConnectMichigan Alliance has formed as a hub organization for Michigan's volunteeroriented nonprofit organizations. How will the MCSC deal with these exciting changes and what opportunities for growth, innovation and sustainability exist in this new future? Starting to form the answers to these questions, in light of the strategic planning that has been presented to the members by staff, is our charge for this planning retreat. Day One - Perspectives on Transitions 2:45p.m. Russ Mawby will give an overview and introduce our facilitator, Alice Buhl Views from the National Service Perspective Over 65% of the MCSC's funding comes from Corporation for National Service to support national service programs including ArneriCorps, Learn & Serve Michigan (service-learning), and Promise Fellows (working on America's Promise). The Bush Administration has demonstrated its commitment to national service by ensuring that full funding for the Corporation for National Service remains part of the President's Budget as well as entrusting some of the work of his Faith Based Initiative with ArneriCorps. What are priorities of this administration and how will they impact the work of the MCSC? �The MCSC is dedicated to enabling all citizens, including youth, to engage in public problem solving through service and volunteerism. Day One - Perspectives on Transitions (continued) Alice Buhl will introduce Wendy Zenker, Acting CEO for CNS Wendy Zenker will give an overview on National Service at the federal level (20 min.) Small group discussions (20 min.) Small groups will report back with questions and comments (20 min.) 3:45p.m Break Views from the Statewide Volunteerism Perspective Over the past 18 months, Michigan has taken on the task of ensuring permanent support for volunteerism in Michigan by forming the ConnectMichigan Alliance and providing long-term support through a $20 million endowment fund. Four organizations agreed to devote their energies to building this support structure. Now, what does the future look like in this new reality? What will the MCSC do differently given this new paradigm? 4:00p.m ConnectMichigan Alliance/context with overview (Felt board exercise) with Kyle Caldwell who will introduce John Lore, CEO of ConnectMichigan Alliance, Ed Blews, Chair of ConnectMichigan Alliance, Sam Singh, CEO of the Michigan Nonprofit Association (30 min.). Small group discussions (30 min.) Small group will report back with questions and comments (30 min.) 5:30p.m Break (Check-in to rooms before dinner) (Check-in is after 4 p.m) 6:15p.m. Reception in Doctor's Cottage (Snacks and wine, beer and soda) 7:00p.m Dinner in Doctor's Cottage (Dinner will be served) Views from the State Political Perspective Since 1991, the MCSC has enjoyed the unwavering support of Governor Engler and First Lady Michelle Engler. While in office, no other Michigan Governor has demonstrated as much support for the nonprofit sector and the volunteers that make up the workforce for this sector than John Engler. No other First Lady has demonstrated a willingness and ability to lead, as has our own Michelle Engler. Their efforts have produced one of the nation's first state commissions on service, the nation's only state-funded volunteer resource center endowment grant, a host of national service programs, a premiere volunteer recognition program and a series of meetings and conferences to discuss how government can do its work better for our state's volunteer sector. Finally, through their championing the work of the MCSC, the Michigan Legislature has provided its support through codifying legislation and annual appropriations of $2 million in state funding. �" The MCSC is dedicated to enabling all citizens, including youth, to engage in public problem solving through service and volunteerism. Views from the State Political Perspective (continued) Soon, these supporters will be gone due to term limits. After November of 2002, no member of the Michigan House of Representatives will have been in office when the MCSC was formed. The Governor and First Lady will not have the name Engler and the Senate will have only a handful of members returning from the previous body. How can the MCSC maintain it relationships with key officials and how can it ensure support from the next Governor and Legislature for Michigan's volunteer sector? 8:00p.m. Michelle Engler will introduce guest speakers for evening program- Bill Ballenger from Inside Michigan Politics and William Rustem from Public Sector Consultants. (30 min. Q & A) 9:30p.m. Program ends. End of Day One. I-~ 2001 �• The MCSC is dedicated to enabling all citizens, including youth, to engage in public problem solving through service and volunteerism. Tuesday, September 11, 2001 Day Two - Reflections and Commitments Armed with the opinions and evidence from the experts AND in light of the strategic plan adopted last year, what are the next steps for the MCSC? How should it communicate its purpose? Should the MCSC do business differently? If so, how? If not, why? What should the short (12 months) and long (five years) goals of this organization be in light of these facts? What can each commissioner, staff member and friend do to support Michigan's Volunteers now and into the future? 7:00a.m.- 8:00a.m. Breakfast Buffet in the Dining Room and checkout of rooms (Check-out is Noon but no other time) Reflections -What did I learn?

Mawby Executive Director Kyle Caldwell MEMORANDUM TO: Michigan Community Service Commission Executive Committee Members FROM: Paula Kaiser, Director ofProgramslPCt.UO.Lt) Michigan Community Service Commission RE: Request for Delegation of Authority DATE: April 16, 2001 Michigan 's AmeriComs Backgroulld On September 13, 2000, the MCSC board approved the following match requirements for the Michigan's AmeriCorps program: Years of Fun dine Year 1 Year2 Year3 Year4 Year 5 Year6 Year 7+ Member Support Match Percentages MCSC/Grantee 85% I 15% 85% I 15% 85%11 5% 85% I 15% 85% I 15% 85% I 15% 85% I 15% Program Operations Match Percentages MCSC/Grantee 67% I 33% 67% I 33% 67% I 33% 50% I 50% 40% I 60% 25% I 75% 0% I 100% ($500 per FTE)* The member support cost items includes: living allowance, FICA, workers compensation, health care. *In addition, programs operating in their seventh year or beyond could apply for up to $500 per full-time equivalent to cover the cost of member training, member uniforms, and other member expenses. All grantees will be expected to meet the match requirement for their given year of funding. If a ~ o.& PF'IIfjTrOON f1ECYCLEcDP-._P[P �grantee has been a recipient of previous Michigan's AmeriCorps funding, that funding would . count when determining the match requirement. For example, if"Agency A", which is not a current grantee applied for AmeriCorps funding for the 2001 - 2002 year and had previously received 3 years ofMichigan's AmeriCorps funding, they would~need to provide the match level of a Year 4 program. Implementation of the Plan The new match requirements will be phased in over the next three years (FY 2000- 2003) beginning with the 2000-01 program year. Programs operating in the first three years would be required to meet the match requirement specific to their current year of funding. Programs that have been in existence for more than three years will be required to meet the Year 4 match requirement for the 2000- 2001 program year. Each year, programs will advance to the next level of match requirement until they reach the Year 7 and beyond requirement. Waiver If a program is not able to meet the match requirement for a given program year, that program may request a waiver. A program may apply for a waiver as part of their application to the MCSC. Applicants will need to provide justification for the waiver. The MCSC will have the right to approve or deny the waiver based on the program's justification. The waiver allows MCSC to support a program that may have extenuating circumstances that prevent it from meeting the match requirement. The board will review and decide each waiver on a case-by-case basis. The MCSC received a request from the Creston Neighborhood Association for a waiver. The Creston Neighborhood Association has received three years of funding to operate an AmeriCorps Program. They are currently requesting funds for a fourth year. As part of their request they have asked that their match level for Categories B - F remain at 33% rather than increase to 50% under the new Michigan's AmeriCorps match requirements. The MCSC staff reviewed Creston's request and has asked them to provide some additional information by April27, 2001. Since we will receive this information after the executive committee meeting and we must submit the formula application package including the Creston Neighborhood Association application to the Corporation for National Service on May 15 1\ the staff make the following recommendation: StaQ"Recommendation The staff requests that the board authorize the staff to review and approve or deny the Creston Neighborhood Association request to waive the 50% match requirement based on the parameters determined by the executive committee and the written response of the applicant.

States and local communities should be empowered to help engage their citizens in meaningful, effective and sustainable volunteer service. c.

Adequate, flexible and non-duplicative financial and human resources from the federal government should be leveraged by states for local communities and community-based organizations to develop stable and enduring volunteer service infrastructures (resources, technical support, coordination, etc.) that demonstrates a substantial investment in a community problem solving model. 5 �e. Local, state and national leaders should demonstrate their support for volunteerism through personal action for the common good and through the advancement of principle-centered public policy that uses national and community service as a prominent strategy to address issues.

Mawby 111 S. Capito l Ave . George W. Romney Lansing , Telephone : FAX : Execut ive Di rector Kyle Caldwell Bldg ., 4th Floor Michigan 48913 (517) 335-4295 (517) 373-4977 MEMORANDUM TO: Members of the MCSC Executive Committee FROM: Kyle Caldwell, Executive Director RE: Summary of April 20, 2001 Meeting DATE: Monday, April30, 2001 The following is a summary of the meeting of the Michigan Conummity Service Commission (MCSC) Executive Committee held April 20, 2001 via conference call that includ ed : Russel l G. Mawby (Chair), Julie Cummings, Vivian Pickard, Teny Pruitt, and Kyle Caldwell. The conunittee approved the staff program funding recommendations for: • Michigan's ArneriCorps Formula Renewals applications at $1,109,980 for 71 full-time, 38 part-time and 6 sununer only members; • Michigan's AmeriCorps Education Award Only Renewals applications at $73 ,000 for 120 full-time, 150 part-time and 0 summer only members; • Michigan's ArneriCorps New Fonmtla applications at $1,764,555 for 127 full-time, 26 part-time and 12 summer only members; and • Michigan's Volunteer Investment Grants Round Two applications at $141,885 for two programs. Regarding the remaining FY 2001 state funding for Michigan's Volunteer Investment Grants, Commissioner Pruitt expressed his concem that the program is not expending all the $1 million appropriated for the VIG program a1mually. Mr. Caldwell explained that the staff shared hi s concem and in response, has conunissioned a study of the program. The results of the study wi II help guide the staff recommendations for modification to the VIG program. This, along with a recap of the staff funding recommendations approved by the Executive Committee, wi ll be taken up at the May 21, 2001 meeting for consideration by the full membership. 06 """"""" RECYQ.EOPAPER �Michigan's AmeriCorps Match Waiver Appeal The committee approved the staff request for staff authority to determine if a waiver of the new Michigan ' s AmeriCorps match requirement was warranted for the Creston Neighborhood Association (CNA), which submitted an appeal to the waiver. The staff requested that the CNA provide a detailed rationale for the waiver and work plan to bring the program into compli ance with the new match requirement ntle next year. That response was due April 27, 2001 and the MCSC 's application to the Corporation for National Service (CNS) is due May 15 , 2001. Both dates are prior to the MCSC May 21 , 2001 meeting and therefore staff need to be in a position to make a decision on the matter without the advance approval of the full commission. The staff request was approved. ConnectMichigan Alliance Campaign Executive Committee members charged staff with drafting a letter from Conm1issioners Mawby, Cummings and Engler to go out to the full body emphasizing the need for their participation in the CmmectMichigan Alliance Campaign. The letter will offer suggestions on amounts and will be distributed with ConnectMichigan Alliance materials and postage to members who have not yet participated. Marketing and Public Relations The committee reviewed the progress of the Ad Hoc Marketing and Public Relations Committee. Commissioner Pickard and Commissioner Williams (staff contact is Shirley @ 313-226-9445) will pruiicipate in a conference call on April 30, 2001 to discuss United Way Community Services ' marketing and public relations strategies and see if the MCSC can utilize their expenences. Mr. Caldwell will contact other nonprofit organizations including the Council of Michigan Foundations ru1d Grand Valley State University to seek their advice and perhaps gather some examples of quality materials. September Retreat The conm1ittee discussed the details of the next reh·eat of the membership. The next retreat of the MCSC will be held on September 10 - 11 , 2001 at Brooke Lodge in Augusta, Michigan. The retreat will deal with "transitions," both at the state and national levels and within the Michigan volunteer field specifically. The first day will deal with issues and updates from the federal , state and state nonprofit perspectives while the second day will focus on stTategies and plans for the MCSC in response to those issues. May Agenda The agenda for the May meeting was reviewed and approved. With the approval of the Chair, some modifications may be included prior to the May meeting. �lOth Anniversary of the MCSC October 2, 2001 will mark the 101h Anniversary of the MCSC (by Executive Order 1991-25). The committee discussed possible celebratory opportunities including a legislative reception. A separate committee will be appointed at the May meeting by the Chair to craft a strategy for the celebration.

(Helena, Mont.)- In an extraordinary show of bipartisan support, 49 of the nation's governors, including George W. Bush and Jeb Bush, today sent a letter urging Congress to renew AmeriCorps and other national service programs before this congressional session ends. ,·_-. ~) --~-- --· - · - .... ·--,M~ :J·r~':-- '... ·:_ ,_;; _ t:_.~~ • .~ -.~ ' :'.::.~;~·7~';-- . -· ··" F --·~ :.' · :: ,.:.7r.: (........_.._:_ c./;;:_ 't;._"-;.,.~ '7."'-.J":r_, /''~ ... ~~-- ~-~ ·t ~,;J>t·~~-;---- "The nation's governors have spoken and their message is clear: continue national service," said Governor Marc Racicot (R-MT), who led the bipartisan effort. "It is rare for governors to unite so completely around a single issue, and I hope Congress will listen to the nation's governors and act quickly to extend this successful investment in our country's future." r-1.~ ;:~,~~~X '1~L The letter urges passage of the National and Community Service Amendments Act, introduced in Clickhcrcr•w>~dth<l<llcr the Senate (S. 2764) by Edward Kennedy (D-MA) and James Jeffords (R-VT), and passed by the Senate HELP Committee on July 21. Rep. Christopher Shays (R-CT) introduced a companion bill in the House (H.R. 4740), which now has 100 co-sponsors. The bill, which is a White House priority, would reauthorize the Corporation for National Service and extend AmeriCorps and other national service programs administered by the Corporation for the next five years. Governors from 49 states, Puerto Rico, Guam and the Virgin Islands each individually signed the letter of support, saying: "We have seen the progress of young people inspired by older students, the importance of trained hands helping after a disaster, and the pride of a senior sharing his or her time with a child in need of mentoring ... As Governors, we recognize the value of national service as a tool in meeting important needs in our states. We do not want to lose this force for good in our communities, states, and country." Since AmeriCorps' inception in 1994, bipartisan support for the program . http://www.nationalservice.org/news/pr/92000.html - 12/27/2000 �has grown considerably. Many tanner cntics ot AmenCorps are now supporters-including Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) and Rep. John Kasich (ROH). Colin Powell recently expressed his hope for reauthorization, saying, "I'm confident that it will be reauthorized. I have been speaking very strongly in favor of it. I've become a great, great fan of the Corporation for National Service." In addition to AmeriCorps, the Corporation for National Service oversees the National Senior Service Corps, which engages 500,000 older Americans in service, and Learn and Serve America, which supports service-learning efforts that teach citizenship and academic skills to more than one million students. ### http://www.nationalservice.org/news/pr/92000.html 12/27/2000 �Page 1 of2 l h\· f li.lt:~.·s~\bl ...• 1n nt L,_•11 \ Lli(.•rit~ LC".&J'-"1 Ct,lt<J Sl.llt'~ 11~c ti.IIIP!':!hl~ nhllll.l.'< .. , s.::;u. rhc Corirnl W;uhmgti.m.l>.\..

For All to Serve A Plan for Promoting a More Civil Society through Service and Volunteerism Summary The leadership of the American Association of State Service Commissions (AASSC), its members and a number of local and national partnering organizations encourage local, state and federal governments, and elements of the private sector to renew and expand their commitment to communities by increasing support for national service initiatives across the nation. National service has proven its value over the past decade as evidenced by the annual contributions of more than 485,000 seniors, 40,000 youth and adults, and nearly 1 million elementary through college students who band together to serve their communities. National Service acts as a nexus for tackling local needs by combining people, serving as volunteers, and resources in the form of federal, state and private funds to create a powerful force. These volunteers and the programs through which they deliver their support, have demonstrated that the beginnings of long-term community impact can occur when individuals give their time through a structured and wellorganized volunteer opportunity that is locally driven and publicly fmanced. Now is the time to take national service and volunteerism to the next level. Volunteer opportunities must be available for all Americans as this nation was founded on the belief that neighbors must help neighbors to address their most vexing challenges States and local communities have demonstrated that they can implement National Service programs by leveraging both human and financial resources to address very real needs. The nation's governors have developed and supported innovative community problem solving models through the creation of nonpartisan state service commissions comprised of a diverse populations that focus on coordinating and promoting service and volunteerism. These 50 different laboratories (48 states and two territories) for local empowerment and civic renewal have helped to promote positive local community change through mentoring and after-school projects, neighborhood clean-up programs, senior care services, youth corps, literacy programs, initiatives for the homeless, and thousands more volunteer initiatives. Therefore we, the states, recommend the immediate advancement and institutionalization of the following principles: • All Americans should have equal opportunity to give back through a quality volunteer experience that can make a genuine and meaningful difference in someone's life. • States and local communities should be empowered to help engage their citizens in meaningful, effective and sustainable volunteer service. • All sectors of society including government, education, businesses, nonprofit organizations, faith-based institutions and civic organizations should ban together to envision, create, and sustain community problem solving models that utilize volunteers as their primary resource. • Adequate, flexible and non-duplicative financial and human resources from the federal government should be leveraged by states for local communities and community-based organizations to develop stable and enduring volunteer service infrastructure (resource?, technical support, coordination, etc.) that demonstrates a substantial investment in a community problem solving model. 2 �• Local, state and nationalle.aders should demonstrate their support for volunteerism through personal action for the common good and by advancing principle-centered public policy that encourages national and community service. Background Since 1990, federal, state and local governments have been working in collaboration to demonstrate the powerful potential of national service and its unique ability to help address local challenges. During this decade of civic engagement, millions of Americans have devoted their time, talents and resources through national service programs. Their contributions-their selfless acts of humanity-represent a uniquely American trait. We Americans believe that giving back to our communities is a founding principle of our democracy and a common thread in the fabric of our republic. Nowhere are these principles better illustrated than in our states-our fifty laboratories for community problem solving. Time and again, states have fostered and incubated innovative models that local nonprofit organizations, schools and faith-based institutions have used to help build healthy communities. These state driven models include welfare and education reform, public safety and environmental restoration initiatives. The modest, yet meaningful investments offederal support for National Service over the past decade has created a number of valuable tools for communities to renew their vitality, reinvigorate their citizens, and make real differences in the lives of millions. Through a portfolio of relatively modest investments, the federal government has engaged a substantial portion of the nonprofit community and revitalized that sectors most vital resource-people who volunteer. Included in that portfolio are AmeriCorps, Senior Corps and VISTA. In addition, federal resources have been allocated to the Points of Light Foundation, America's Promise: The Alliance for Youth and Communities In Schools. The $463 million appropriated annually to National Service is dwarfed by the federal government's investments in education, defense, transportation, healthcare and welfare programs. Yet, National Service programs and the volunteers they support, provide substantial amounts of support to these other areas where federal resources are more generously allocated. In addition, nearly every dollar invested in National Service programs requires a significant cash and/or in-kind match from non-federal sources. This leveraging effect ensures the involvement and commitment of key stakeholders and builds and expectation that these efforts will be locally sustained as long-term community problem solving mechanisms. States have taken the lead in making these unique elements work together to build and infrastructure (support for community problem solving) for America's volunteers. Across the nation, fifty individual state commissions have been appointed by governors to spearhead the advancement and support of service and volunteerism. Each commission is comprised of a diverse group of individuals representing nonprofits, corporations, foundations, law enforcement, youth, education and seniors. Through these commissions, federal and state support is channeled to local communities to generate volunteer programs and encourage civic engagement among the young and the young at heart. These commissions, and the funds that support them, represent substantial investments on the part of states and, to a lesser degree, the federal government. However, like the investments made in our transportation infrastructure for example, state and local support must be significantly augmented by federal investments that are adequate and flexible, but which also call for accountability and demonstrable results. 3 �• .. Some believed that all of these new resources and reforms would occur with the creation of the Corporation for National Service (CNS). CNS was intended to represent a new kind offederal involvement in community problem solving. With its creation came the combining of a myriad of volunteer initiatives including the Whitehouse Office on Volunteerism, Commission on National and Community Service, VISTA, Foster Grandparents, RSVP, Senior Companions, Learn & Serve and others. CNS also created new programs including the largest federally supported national service program, AmeriCorps. During its initial formation, CNS called for empowering states and local communities to identify their needs and plans for which flexible federal resources could be used to implement unique programs and volunteer models. These resources would leverage state and private resources and be channeled to local communities through state commissions, appointed by governors, and empowered to decide how the federal resources would be spent. It quickly became apparent that the resources were not flexible and were tagged with very strict and complicated regulations that required duplicative processes and overly bureaucratic reporting mechanisms. Resources were allocated in ways that did not effectively utilize the network of state commissions that CNS helped to create, and instead began apportioning monies directly to national nonprofit organizations, state CNS offices and higher education institutions to conduct similar work as state commissions, but that which could be conducted without coordination with state service commissions and governors. These duplicative efforts and contorted organizational structures are not entirely the fault of the leadership at CNS. The blame can be equally shared with the legislation that created the new national service movement (National and Community Service Trust Act of 1993), the speed with which the 1993 Act was implemented and the limited resources available to implement the changes the legislation mandates. Despite these challenges, in a very short period of time, 48 states implemented an overwhelming number of successful programs with unique outcomes that demonstrate a number of innovative service models. State service commissions also worked individually and together to forge strong and meaningful partnerships with organizations to best utilize scarce resources including nationalnonprofits (City Year, Communities In Schools, America's Promise) CNS state offices and other national service supported organizations. States have taken the initiative to build a stronger national service field and are well-positioned help to move it forward and further prove the value ofgiving through their time and talents for the good of humanity. 4 �•• < Specific Recommendations on Principles • All Americans should have equal opportunity to give back through a quality volunteer experience so that they can learn that they can make a genuine and meaningful difference in someone's life. A national call for universal opportunity is needed for the nation's volunteers. No real survey had been conducted that conclusively and accurately describes how niany of the nation's 272 million population actively volunteer. We do know that if a national mandate calling for 10% of the U.S. population to serve their community every month would potentially dwarf the documented number of citizens engaged in concentrated volunteer service through the nation's National Service programs. The nation's leaders must continue to focus the attention of American's on the power of volunteering through fmancial commitments, national recognition and individual behavior Encourage release time to all working Americans to serve their communities. In the limited surveying conducted to date of Americans to determine why they do and do not volunteer, one of the reasons most often noted as a barrier is time available outside of work and family. As part of their corporate citizenship, many workplaces should offer 8 hours of release time per year for American workers to volunteer in their community. This time could be devoted to helping a senior get out into the community, tutoring a child in school, helping at a local shelter or helping out a local family in need. State and federal governments could encourage release time among their public employees and sponsor statewide activities that encourage and recognize exemplary volunteer efforts. Integrate hands-on opportunities for young people to learn the expectation of giving back and learning through experiential education and service opportunities where lessons in the real world are tied to the mandated outcomes of the school curriculum. State and local boards of education can institutionalize policies that promote service and service-learning as meaningful and effective methods of educating our nation's students while instilling our basic democratic values. The current federal support of $43 million for Learn & Serve programming should be increased to $50 million to provide a minimum of $1 million in federal support to each state to advance service and learning in the K-12 and higher education systems. The National Commission on Service-Learning is taking on the issue of improving learning and community life through service. It seeks to make specific recommendations on how education can be made more real for America's students. Headed up by former Senator John Glenn, this blue ribbon commission includes a number of the nation's experts in service and education (see www.learningindeed.org for more details). • Adequate, flexible and non-duplicative financial and human resources from the federal government should be leveraged by states for local communities and community-based organizations to develop stable and enduring volunteer 5 �.. • service infrastructure (resources, technical support, coordination, etc.) that demonstrates a substantial investment in a community problem solving model. States should provide resources for communities to have readily accessible places for individuals to engage in National Service and volunteer opportunities either through face-to-face communication or via electronic media. Former Michigan Governor George Romney called for volunteer centers to be as common and as recognizable as the Post Office. This dream can become a reality by annually providing $200 million in federal funds to states for State Endowed Resource Volunteer (SERV) grants that would provide one dollar in federal support for every state dollar permanently endowed. The endowments would provide every citizen in that state, access to a quality volunteer experience. These funds would build a multi-million dollar national pool of resources that is guaranteed to incr~ase as the endowments grow and thereby over time, decreasing the dependence of states and local communities on federal support. Current levels of National Service funding should be doubled. The current investment of$767.4 million in federal support for National Service must continue and increase. While some economies can be realized through some limited reorganization of CNS, the overall investment is only marginally adequate to build effective, sustainable and meaningful volunteer opportunities. CNS funding should provide states with the flexibility and freedom to innovate that other federal agencies have adopted. The federallyfunded Juvenile Justice programs require state commission to administer funds and make funding decisions. These commissions are able to submit plans to the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention (OJJDP) that state how states propose to use the funds. Plans include strategies for achieving goals, state priorities for the year and plan for administering the resources. Oversight is focused on the goals and the stewardship of the funds. The OJJDP does not determine to which organizations or how the federal funds are sub granted as CNS does currently. The OJJDP model provides states the maximum flexibility while requiring the greatest level of accountability-states must do what they say they will do. CNS funding regulations regarding the many different streams of service, portability of education awards and special initiatives need to be changed and streamlined. States are often faced with contrary regulations regarding the use and allocation of National Service funding. AmeriCorps, Senior Corps, AmeriCorps VISTA, Learn & Serve America funding streams have been slice and segregated leading to duplication of resources and uncoordinated allocation of scarce resources. In addition, the annual appropriation to states is often tied to national interests of the Administration rather than on the needs of individual states and their communities (Bridging the Digital Divide, America Reads and Summer of Safety funding mandates are prime examples). CNS funding streams should be focused and specific in their allocation, but broad and flexible in their regulation to offer states the room they need to innovate and collaborate while ensuring the integrity of the allocation of the funds. 6 �.. • Some Corporation for National Service State Offices (separate offices of CNS located in each state) have recommended the transfer of many of the grant making, program review, and administrative functions now concentrated at CNS headquarters to the Service Centers (regional CNS offices), CNS state offices and state service commissions. This would enable state commissions to become more closely aligned with other CNS entities within states and regions. The current system, exercised by CNS at all level of programming and administration, cannot continue to receive large increases in appropriations from Congress earmarked exclusively for grants and more National Service members while continuing to withhold administrative support funds. • States and local communities should be empowerecL to help engage their citizens· in meaningful, effective and sustainable volunteer service. AmeriCorps has advanced and increased the interest of citizens to serve their communities and should continue. More than 400,000 American's have served through AmeriCorps. This is ten times more citizens than the Peace Corps has been able to recruit during its 30-year tenure. Millions of hours of volunteer service have been provided through AmeriCorps, Senior Corps, Learn & Serve and AmeriCorps*VISTA. The average AmeriCorps member alone leverages an additional 10 volunteers in addition to their direct service activities. This "volunteer generation" model will help sustain volunteer initiatives into the future. While the majority of the funding for AmeriCorps and other National Service programs comes from the federal government, local communities make the programs relevant. Their matching resources, locally identified needs and comprehensive national service plans prove that communities are committed to making National Service programs work for them. Resources from CNS to states must reflect the need of local communities. Current levels of federal support are far too low for the amount oversight, training and coordination required. In order to obtain maximum results of all CNS funding including funds earmarked for training, technical assistance, administration, programming and partnership building, we recommend that CNS distribute these funds evenly across funding streams and channel them through states rather than through national, regional and community specific routes as the existing system prescribes. The scope and opportunity of National Service programs must be broadened. In order to attract members from diverse backgrounds, skills, abilities, and age groups to National Service, it is essential that CNS have a mix of full-time, part-time and reduced part-time member opportunities available. The outreach and education activities to attract members must be improved to attract full- and part-time students regardless of age, full- and part-time workers, and the retired members of our society to participate in some form of National Service and or related efforts. 7 �.... < • All sectors of society including government, education, businesses, nonprofit organizations, faith-based institutions and civic organizations should ban together to envision, create, and sustain community problem solving models that utilize volunteers as their primary resource. States should be empowered to utilize their comprehensive state service plans where they convened key organizations and institutions to develop state and local plans to most effectively address community challenges through national service and volunteerism. As a requirement of CNS program and administrative funding, states have been required to develop comprehensive service plans. However, CNS has provided inadequate resources for state service commissions to implement these plans. CNS should provige -a base of $500,000 without match requirements to states for operation of the federally mandated service commissions and for implementation of the comprehensive service plans. In addition, CNS should provide an additional administrative support funds to all states on a $1 to $1 match basis with a $20 million/per state cap. CNS can and should develop more collaborative arrangements with federal departments. Current, CNS has not developed strong inter-governmental relationships that includes the U.S. Department of Education and other community based organizations that would enable greater responsiveness to the myriad challenges facing our Nation that are related to K-12 through Higher Education and adult learning arena. This would be especially useful in expanding the exposure of students and teachers to the utility and power of service-learning. • Local, state and national leaders should demonstrate their support for volunteerism through personal action for the common good and by advancing principle-centered public policy that encourages national and community service. America's leaders must themselves demonstrate their individual commitment to serving others by engaging in significant public volunteer opportunities that demonstrate the types of behavior they would like other American's to emulate. National leaders should continue to utilize every opportunity to highlight and recognize exemplary volunteer efforts of citizens including the Points of Light Foundation's Daily Points of Light Awards, state recognition programs hosted by governors, and promotion of national days of service including Make A Difference Day. The nation's leaders need to do more than provide funds and recognize the efforts of others-they must demonstrate their commitment by giving and serving. 8 �... Why Service Works Service solves problems Service and volunteerism to communities and to individuals are the most enduring and impactful methods of meeting the challenges our citizens face every day. Volunteer efforts also build communities and connect our citizens in a common belief that we must all give back to the people around us and the places where we live. Together, individual American's have demonstrated that their efforts of selflessness and determination have helped to weave an intricate, yet informal, system of support for all Americans. From the docent at the local museum to the young person who devotes a year of their life to national service, volunteerism is at the center of our nation's social fabric. Service has local impact regardless of the hype Daily, thousands of American's show their capacity for giving and caring in large and small ways including middle school students tutoring younger students as they engage in service-learning as part of a Learn & Serve America program, seniors delivering meals through a RSVP program, devoting a year to AmeriCorps, businesses and government making local commitments of people and money to the goals of America's Promise, volunteering time through a Volunteer Center, giving and volunteering to a United Way campaign and so many more. These efforts are documented through the Points of Light Foundation's Daily Points of Light Awards program that receives many of its nominations from volunteer centers working with governors and state commissions. Some of the aforementioned initiatives have become politicized over the past decade with the advancement of AmeriCorps during the Clinton Administration. This politicization has lead to some questioning as to the validity of the work of those involved with national service programs. Yet, on its face, national service and the volunteers it helps to generate and support is neither a liberal nor conservative initiative and is neither a Democratic nor a Republican issue. Service and volunteerism are shared beliefs that cut across the political and social spectrums and should be supported and evaluated on their merits and not on political grounds. Governors across the nation are committed to the power of service and volunteerism and have twice publicly affirmed their support for National Service as a nonpartisan method of getting things done. Through the National Governor's Association, the states' chief executives laid out a document of principles in their human resources policy HR-24 (see attached). This document has helped to craft strategies all across the nation and represents the best practices of our nation's states. Governors have demonstrated, through their creativity and innovation, that they are uniquely positioned to both assess and address local issues by leveraging public and private resources to create thoughtful approaches to community problem solving. More recently, 49 Governors demonstrated their belief in federal support for local volunteer initiatives in their signing of an open letter to the U.S. Congress requesting the reauthorization of the 1993 National and Community Service Trust Act. This letter, initiated by former Governor Racicot, shows the universal and nonpartisan support for national service. National Service is a tremendous vehicle for channeling local energy into an even greater force for community problem solving and serves to effectively match federal resources with local communities. While national service is no panacea, it is a powerful and proven tool for promoting and supporting individual action toward a more civil society. 9 �._ . National Service programs successfully leverage both human and financial resources-a model that is unique among federally supported programs. Service is part of healthy communities and more civil societies Daily acts of kindness (service and volunteer efforts) exist in part because of the philanthropic acts of individuals but is supported, fostered and recognized within a system that is unique to America. Some refer to this system as the independent sector. Others call is the social sector, while some see these actions to be the workhorse of the nonprofit community. This system is the local, state, and national infrastructure of Volunteer Centers, governor-appointed state commissions on service, United Ways, National Service programs, nonprofit associations, and the tens of thousands of charitable organizations that rely on volunteer service to help those in need. Whatever labels we use, service and volunteerism are vital components of that system and to a healthy community overall. Through the efforts of the current National Service Infrastructure, alliances have been built and strengthened at the national, state, and local levels. America's Promise began in Philadelphia in 1997. With the assistance of the federal, state and local governmental agencies, in partnership with private organizations at each level, small rural communities in many states that did not participate in the Philadelphia Summit are now "Communities of Promise." This would not be the case without the efforts of the alliances formed in support of National Service. At the core of our republic's democratic values is the belief that a free, just and civil society is built upon individuals and groups participating and contributing to the good of the whole. American's are demonstrating daily the principle that through neighbor helping neighbor, and through each of our taking responsibility for the other, local communities become stronger economically, morally, and spiritually. Our nation's volunteers demonstrate how valid these principles are today. Robert Putnam (author of Bowling Alone) calls this type of action our nation's "social capital" noting that our nonprofit organizations work to weave our individual citizens into a connected tapestry of support for communities across our nation. Putnam assesses and analyzes a myriad of data to correctly conclude that the strength of our nation is directly related to our deposits of social capital--the investment American's place in their communities through their involvement and caring. Volunteers are at the very center of social capital and provide nonprofit organizations, and communities in general, their most valuable resource-people. Service is growing, but too slowly for the times in which we live More and more, the communities of today are calling for a renewed sense of civic engagement and increases in the level of local involvement on the part of our nation's citizens. Communities are seeking counteracting forces to the "disconnectedness" we see in our youth, working families and seniors. Our nation is looking for ways to counter the Oklahoma City Bombing and the Columbine Shooting. Our nation needs the good deeds of individuals during unforeseen tragedies like Hurricane Andrew and the San Francisco Earthquake. Our nation needs the giving spirit of the millions of seniors who mentor young children and the thousands of companies that contribute their workforce to address local challenges. These efforts need to continue and require both public and private support. 10 �., . .. The National Governor's Association (NGA) policy on National and Community Service HR 24- National and Community Service 24.1 Preamble Under the leadership of the nation's Governors, states and localities have played a preeminent role in leading a renewed national commitment to civic renewal in this country through national service and volunteerism. Across the states, men, women, and children are working together to meet many of the nation's pressing social and environmental needs and are vital resources in solving some of its most difficult problems. The Governors recognize the role that community service and volunteers play in meeting the enormous challenges facing the nation while working to connect citizens through service. They applaud those individuals and recognize their personal commitment to improving the lives of others. This spirit of civic renewal is an essential unifying component of the fabric of the nation. The Governors also believe that community service programs provide substantial opportunities and benefits to both the providers and those who are served, Citizens who participate in these programs develop new skills and have an opportunity to make a personal connection with their own communities while giving assistance to individuals and communities, often during critical times of need. 24.2 Principles The Governors build, support, and promote public-private partnerships to promote an ethic of service that encourages citizens to serve in meaningful ways that reflect the real needs of communities, states, and the nation. The Governors remain steadfast in their desire to continue their work to strengthen a national service network that is guided by the following principles. • • • • • Promote a strong partnership among federal, state, and local governments, as well as the volunteer, philanthropic, education, and business communities, to emphasize the importance of building connections among citizens to combat isolationism and promote community wide involvement. Recognize the multitude of related federal, state, and local programs and seek to streamline and integrate such programs into a comprehensive network. Encourage creativity and diversity among service programs so that citizens of all ages have the opportunity to participate. Assist in enabling individuals and programs to achieve their goals. Support ensuring that the nation's future is stewarded by individuals who, while in their youth, were granted access to fundamental and vital resources, including an ongoing mentoring relationship with a caring adult, a safe place and structured activities to live and grow, a healthy start, marketable skills through effective education, and an opportunity to give back through their own service to their communities. Utilize the unique flexibility of national and volunteer service mechanisms, including state service commissions, to build an ethic of service to community among citizens of all ages. Based on these principles, the Governors offer the following recommendations. 12 �'. 24.3 Recommendations The Governors recommend that the federal government recognize the key state role in national and community service in the following ways. • • • Recognize the key role that Governors and states play in promoting and providing service opportunities. Provide states with the flexibility to act as the primary facilitator of programs to ensure coordination, public-private cooperation, and sustained resources. Continue to foster and support gubernatorial leadership in involving interested people and organizations, including nonprofit, faith-based, philanthropic, and community-based organizations, the private sector, and others, in developing statewide strategies for community problem solving through service and volunteerism. 24.4 Federal-State-Local Partnership The Governors recommend that the federal government take the following steps. • • • • • • Provide federal support for state and local service programs with maximum flexibility and a minimum of federal procedures or regulations. Ensure that all federal support for community service and volunteer programs pass through a gubernatorially appointed state-level service commission or other state agency as deemed appropriate by the Governor. Make funds available for states and localities to encourage innovative proposals to leverage state, private, and nonprofit resources, including in-kind contributions. Provide points of focus at the state and federal levels to disseminate information about service and volunteer programs to assist state and local governments and groups, individuals, and nonprofit organizations. Collect, evaluate, and disseminate information on model programs to promote citizen and organizational involvement in community service and volunteerism. Allocate federal funds to states for demonstration initiatives that provide Governors the flexibility and opportunity to showcase innovative models that work to solve community problems through service and volunteerism. The Governors believe strongly in the value of community service in that it benefits both the provider and the recipient while creating connections for individuals to their respective communities. They want to provide all citizens with a variety of flexible opportunities that will enable them to contribute to their community throughout their lives.
