To build or strengthen a relationship with the congressional office. To ask legislators to fully fund the Serve America Act so that the goals outlined in the legislation can be realized. To successfully meet these three goals, we should close each meeting with four "congressional asks." It is unusual to get a firm response on the spot, so expect a neutral reaction to your question or request. [2] • • • f7l • • f7l • f7l lL.J • Fiscal Year 2010 Appropriations - Our top legislative priority is to secure fiscal year 2010 funds for the Corporation for N ational and Community Service (CNC:S) and to set the foundation for longer-term expansion in FY11 and beyond. Voices for National Service's Congressional Ask: The Serve America Act's remarkably swift journey through Congress reflects the growing national consensus that service is a powerful response to today's economic and social challenges. However, the goals of the Serve America Act cannot be realized unless Congress provides appropriate levels of funding for the Corporation for National and Community Service. While the House of Representatives recently approved an increase in funding for CNC:S, the Senate Appropriations Committee has recommended $98 million more than the House: a total of $1.157 billion in fiscal year 2010. The increase by the House signals progress, but the higher Senate level meets the White House's request and is most consistent with the goals approved by Congress in the Serve America Act. Please support the higher FY10 funding levels approved by the Senate Appropriations Committee. The Serve America Act proposes modest and reasonable growth in the service programs over 8 years. Programs such as AmeriCorps are authorized for a slow but steady ramp-up, with membership levels reaching 250,000 participants by 2017. Please increase funding levels for CNC:S in future years and keep the service programs on track to expand as envisioned in the Serve America Act. Legislation to Make the AmeriCorps Education Award Tax-Free- Because of jurisdictional oversight, Congress was not able to address this inequity in the Serve America Act, but pending legislation exists to make the AmeriCorps Education Award tax-exempt. Voices for National Service Congressional Ask: Representatives John Lewis (D-GA) and Charles Boustany (R-LA) introduced HR 1596, the Segal AmeriCorps Education Award Tax Relief Act. The bill would make the AmeriCorps Education Award tax-free, modifying the current tax code. Because the award is taxed, some members lose more than $1,000 of its value after taxes. The Lewis-Boustany bill will ensure members retain the full value of the award. Similar tax relief language was also included in legislation sponsored by Senators Orrin Hatch (R- UI) and Edward Kennedy (D-MA), S. 278, the Incentive to Serve Tax Act. Please co-sponsor or support these bills to make the AmeriCorps Education Award tax-free, consistent with the GI Bill benefits and Pell Grants, which are tax-free educational benefits. National Service Caucus - The National Service Congressional Caucus is a bipartisan group of legislators dedicated to raising awareness of national service and expanding service opportunities for all Americans. The House Caucus is chaired by Representatives David Price (D-NQ, Vernon Ehlers (R-lv1I), Doris Matsui (D-CA) and Todd Platts (R-PA). The Senate Caucus is chaired bySenators Christopher Dodd (D-CI) and Thad Cochran (R-MS). Voices for National Service Congressional Ask: Please consider joining the National Service Caucus to support Americans serving their communities and their nation. To join the House Caucus, contact the office of Representative Doris Matsui (D-CA) or Representative Todd Platts (R-PA). To join the Senate Caucus, contact the office of Senator Chris Dodd (D-CI) or Senator Thad Cochran (R-MS). Site Visit- Nothing is more persuasive than seeing national service in action. Elected officials will understand the value of your service better when they see it firsthand. Hosting a successful site visit is a great way to show policymakers how important it is to invest in the Corporation for National and Community Service. Site visits are the best way to build a - or deepen an existing - relationship with your elected official or a key member of their staff. Voices for National Service Congressional Ask: Invite the Member of Congress and/ or his staff to visit your program during an upcoming congressional recess. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Senior Corps connects Americans over the age of 55 with the people and organizations that need them most by helping them become mentors, coaches, or companions to people in need, or contribute their job skills and expertise to community projects and organizations. Senior Corps offers several ways to get involved , which are listed below. Volunteers receive guidance and training so they can make a contribution that suits their talents, interests, and availability. • The Foster Grandparent Program connects volunteers age 55 and over with children and young people with exceptional needs. Volunteers mentor, support, and help some of the most vulnerable children in their communities . • The Senior Companion Program brings volunteers age 55 and over together with adults in their communities who have difficulty with day-to-day living tasks. Volunteers can be foun d assisting with grocery shopping and other errands, offering transportation to the doctor, sharing a meal , or engaging in socialization. • RSVP (Retired and Senior Volunteer Program) connects volunteers age 55 and over with service opportunities in their communities that match their skills and availability. From building houses to immunizing children, from enhancing the capacity of nonprofit organizations to improving and protecting the environment, RSVP volunteers put their unique talents to work to make a difference. Senior Corps is administered by the Corporation for National and Community Service - Michigan State Office and Michigan's Office of Services to the Aging . 13,767 Michigan's Senior Corps participants will serve with 55 projects in 201 0. • 1,882 of those volunteers serve in the Foster Grandparent Program through 19 projects . • 11,105 of those volunteers serve in the RSVP Program through 22 projects . • 780 of those volunteers serve in the Senior Companion Program through 14 projects. "Serving as a Foster Grandparent has given me an opportunity to help others and a purpose in my life. I look forward to getting up each morning and going to school each day. I am able to provide [the children I work with] individualized attention and encouragement on a daily basis." Rae Leggett Kalamazoo Foster Grandparent Financial Investment $6,739,207 in Federal Funds was allotted to the Corporation for National and Community Service Michigan State Office for 2009-2010 Senior Corps Programs. $4,829,348 in State Funds was allotted through Michigan's Office of Services to the Aging for 20092010 Senior Corps Programs. �More than $3 million in Match Funds were leveraged by Sen ior Corps Programs in Michigan's communities in 2009 . Tapping Talents of the 55+ Population Michigan's Senior Corps (Page Two) Foster Grandparent Impact During the 2009-2010 program year, Foster Grandparent volunteers will provide support to young children struggling with social , emotional , or academic challenges. Foster Grandparent programs provide services in 59 Michigan counties , with nearly 1.2 million hours of assistance provided to 7,550 children. RSVP Impact As part of the 2009-2010 program year, RSVP will serve as a safety net for many communitiesconducting safety patrols, protecting the environment, tutoring and mentoring youth , and responding to natural disasters. More than 1,800 groups across Michigan benefit from their services. This year, RSVP will help nonprofit organizations enhance and expand the services they provide in 40 Michigan counties, with nearly 1.3 million hours of service logged. Senior Companion Impact In Michigan, Senior Companions provide one-on-one support individualized services to help homebound seniors and other adults maintain independence in the ir own homes. Senior Companion programs in 47 Michigan counties will provide more than 450,000 hours of assistance to 3,900 adults this year. The Impact of Senior Volunteers According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, volunteer services provided by older volunteers serving in Offices of Services to the Aging-administered programs equates to an economic value of nearly $56 million annually. The return on the more than $4 .8 million investment the State of Michigan places on Senior Corps volunteers is more than 500%. Seniors who volunteer have a lower risk for physical ill health. Their service can help improve selfesteem, reduce heart rates and blood pressure , increase endorphin production , enhance immune systems, buffer the impact of stress , and combat social isolation .

Kennedy Setve America Act: • • • • • On April21, 2009, President Obama signed into law the historic Edward M. Kennedy Serve America Act, bipartisan legislation to overhaul the federal infrastructure for service and volunteering and channel the rising desire among Americans to help their neighbors. This bill was a once-in-a-generation expansion in size and scope of our nation's service and volunteering programs, in response to a growing consensus that service is a vital part of the solution to our greatest national challenges, particularly in a tough economy. The legislation moved swiftly through to final passage in the first 100 days of the Obama Administration, and it received overwhelming bipartisan support when considered by Congress. In recognition of the unprecedented increase in applications for national service positions, the Act builds on the success of AmeriCorps, creating 175,000 new corps member slots (250,000 total) in areas of national need, Education, Healthcare, dean Energy, Economic Opportunity and Veterans support and services. The Serve America Act is an authorization bill; implementation is dependent on the availability of funds. The legislation will not fulfill its promise without adequate funding. Fiscal Year 2010 Corporation for National and Community Service Appropriations: • • • • National service programs provide opportunities for Americans of all ages and backgrounds to express their patriotism while addressing critical community needs. These programs achieve direct and demonstrable results, while they strengthen the ties that bind us together as a nation. Between fiscal year 2004-2008, federal support for national service programs was on a steady decline and all the service initiatives were targeted for cuts. Funding for the Corporation for National and Community Service was cut by $78.6 million, an 8.4% reduction. Programs struggled to do more with less, but the slow disinvestment prevented them from growing to meet the demand for service and service opportunities. This trend must be stopped and reversed to meet the record demand for service opporturuues . Congress should approve the FY10 funding levels recommended by the Senate Appropriations Committee in July 2009, $1.157 billion for the Corporation for National and Community Service. This level is $267 million above the fiscal year 2009 enacted. It is also $98 million more the House recommended for FY10. The Senate recommendation puts AmeriCorps on the path to 250,000 members, the goal approved by Congress in the Serve America Act. The Senate Committee has also included funding for several new programs authorized in the Act, including a Social Innovation Fund, a Volunteer Generation Fund and a Non-Profit Capacity Building program.

John Lewis (D-GA) and Charles Boustany (R-LA). HR 1596 will make the AmeriCorps education award tax-free, by modifying the current tax code to exclude the award from an individual's gross income. Because the award is taxed, some members lose more than $1,000 of the award value after taxes. The Lewis-Boustany bill will ensure members retain the full value of their award. Similar tax relief language was also included in legislation sponsored by Senators Hatch (R-U1) and Kennedy (D-MA), S. 278, the Incentive to Serve Tax Act. Key highlights of National Service Programs: • The Corporation for National and Community Service, the government agency that runs AmeriCorps, Learn & Serve America, and Senior Corps, acts like a foundation making federal grants to communitybased nonprofits. • National service programs help thousands of national and community non-profit organizations, faithbased groups, schools, and local agencies meet local needs in education, public health and safety, the environment, homeland security, and other critical areas. • This year, more than 1.6 million Americans will serve through these three programs. • Senior Corps volunteers have generated more than 1 billion service hours. • Learn and Serve America engaged more than 1.4 million young people in 27 million hours of service learning in 2007. • AmeriCorps provides opportunities for more than 75,000 Americans to serve annually, since 1994, more than 600,000 Americans, many of them young people, have served through AmeriCorps. • AmeriCorps members have earned more than $1 billion in AmeriCorps Education Awards that they have used to pay for college or graduate school, or to pay back qualified student loans. • National service increases participants' connection to community and influences life-long volunteering and career choices. A major longitudinal study by Abt Associates, an independent research firm, demonstrated that AmeriCorps members were significantly more likely than their peers to choose a career in public service, including teaching, social work, the military, and public safety. • A growing body of research suggests Learn and Serve America's high-quality service-learning projects improve grades, increase attendance in school, and develop students' personal and social responsibility. • Service is a good investment. Every federal dollar invested in AmeriCorps results in up to $2.60 or more in direct, measurable benefits to AmeriCorps members and the communities they serve. At an average cost of only $28 per participant, Learn and Serve America leverages private and community resources to yield $4 in services to the community for each $1 invested by the government. • Increasing investment in AmeriCorps, the Senior Corps, and Learn and Serve America would allow more Americans to serve, and create greater capacity to meet critical community needs for the benefit of children, families, the elderly, and the environment. National Service Response to Natural Disasters and Emergencies: • National Service programs in America have a long history of involvement with public safety, public health, and emergency preparedness and response, including longstanding partnerships with the Federal Emergency Management Agency, the American Red voss, and other agencies. The Corporation for 7 �.. National and Community Service became a signatory to the National Response Plan in 2005, making it part of the official Federal plan to protect our nation from natural and manmade hazards and attacks. • Since Hurricane Katrina made landfall in 2005, more than 1 million volunteers have served in the Gulf, providing critical support by gutting and repairing homes, supporting school and youth programs, providing health care and counseling, constructing new homes and meeting other local needs. This large scale volunteer response would not have been possible without the support and leadership provided by national service programs. • More than 108,000 participants in AmeriCorps, Senior Corps and Learn and Serve America have contributed 7.7 million hours in the recovery and rebuilding effort in the four years since Katrina. They have played a key role in managing the overall volunteer response- the largest in that nation's historyby recruiting and managing more than 527,000 volunteers. • In 2008, national service disaster responders assisted residents in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, Houston, Galveston, Texas and communities in Louisiana, Mississippi and Florida. The national service community is prepared to provide effective and timely response to disasters and emergencies, and national service participants are among the first deployed to provide relief and recovery aid in areas hard hit by hurricanes, floods and fires. National Service Congressional Caucus : • The National Service Congressional Caucus is a bipartisan group of legislators dedicated to raising awareness of national service and expanding service opportunities for all Americans. • The House Caucus is chaired by Representatives David Price (D-NQ, Vernon Ehlers (R-MI), Doris Matsui (D-CA), and Todd Platts (R-PA) . • The Senate Caucus is chaired by Senators Christopher Dodd (D-CI) and Thad Cochran (R-MS). • With more than 60 active members, the Caucus plays a role in working for national service legislation to provide Americans from all backgrounds with the opportunity to serve their country. STATEMENT ON POLITICAL ACfiVITY Please make certain your participation in the Voices for National Service Hill Day complies with the Corporation for National & Community Service's general rules and restrictions on legislative lobbying: "While charging time to the AmeriCorps program, accumulating service or training hours towards and education award, or otherwise performing activities supported by the AmeriCorps program, staff and members may not (1) attempt to influence legislation or (2) participate in, or endorse, political events or activities."

Charities are seeing the demand for their services grow, leading them to rely even more heavily on individual giving and volunteering. Nationally; individuals contributed $307.65 billion to charities in 2008 (Giving USA 2009). Charities could not operate without the support of individuals. Since an individual's trust in the nonprofit sector and its ability to effectively carry out programs affects his or her giving and volunteering habits, this study also assesses the public's perception of nonprofit organizations, and is critical to an individual's decision to support a charity and their perception of the sector as a whole. G In Spring 20 I0, 997 Michigan residents were asked about their experiences with charitable giving and volunteering during 2009 and their perception of and trust in Michigan's charities. The following are the results of a survey conducted by the Institute for Public Policy and Social Research at Michigan State University. The survey was conducted as part of the quarterly State of the State Survey (SOSS) series. Executive Summary Findings from the survey include: • Over 85 percent of Michigan residents (85 .2%) made a contribution to a charity in the previous year • Over 50 percent of the adult popu lation (52.9%) volunteered in 2009.Women (57.4%) are sti ll significantly more likely to vo lunteer than men (47.6%), but male volunteer rates have increased noticeably by more than ten percent from 2008. • The percentage of residents who see charities as important to community quality of life increased from last year; with almost nine out of ten residents (89.4%) agree ing with this statement. • 93 percent of respondents said the need for charities is greater today than in the past. • Nearly nine out of ten Michigan residents (88.3%) believe that charities should retain their tax exemptions. Trust in Michigan's Charities Public perceptions are an important element of community trust for the charities that provide services. The survey asked a series of questions in order to understand how Michigan residents feel about their charitable organizations. Overall, the nonprofit sector in Michigan is strongly supported and trusted, with charitable organizations seen as an important factor in individual well-being. More than four out of five Michigan residents agree that charitable o1·ganizations are honest and ethical. Sentiment ranged from strongly agree (3 1.0%) and somewhat agree (52.2%) to somewhat disag1·ee ( 14.3%) or strongly disagree (2.5%). The need for charities today compared to the past is strongly felt, with 93 .0% percent of respondents agreeing strongly (59.1 %) or somewhat (33.9%) with this sentiment. Disagreement was noted as somewhat (4.6%) or strong (2.4%). Charitable organizations are widely seen as being effective, with more than three out of four respondents agreeing strongly (21 .3%) or somewhat (54.2%) that charities are more effective today than five years ago. Less than a quarter of respondents somewhat ( 19.9%) or strongly (4.6%) disagreed with this statement. Charities are also seen as important to community quality of life, with over 89 percent of Michigan respondents agreeing strongly (41.9%) or somewhat (47.5%) that charities improve their communities, whi le there was some disagreement (7.6%) or strong disagreement (3.0%). These findings represent a trend over the years of an increasing number of Michigan residents viewing charitable organizations as widely effective and important to community quality of life. The survey asked respondents whether charitable organizations shou ld be exempt from paying certain taxes. Almost nine out of ten Michigan residents (88.3%) felt that charities shou ld retain their tax exempt status. �Giving in Michigan A survey of Michigan resi dents found that more than eight out of every ten people (85.2%) had made a contri bution to charity in the previous year. Although rates of giving are stil l similar to the past five years, charities are reporting that the size of donations have decreased, with 60 percent of Michigan nonproflts reporti ng a decrease in revenue in 2009 from the preVIOUS year. The percentage of women giving increased fmm 2008 to 87.8 percent, and the percentage of men making donations decreased to 81.5 percent. Th is represents a three-year trend of a slow decrease in the number of people making donations to charities, down fmm 88.9 percent in 2007. Although we are seeing a decrease, 93 percent believe chariti es are needed more now than in the past and an ine~·easing numbe r of respondents view charities as being effective (75.5%) and important to their comm unity quality of life (89.4%). Giving varies by age, with the age groups most likely to make a contribution being 65+ years (89.0%), 30-39 years (86.9%), 60-64 years (86.7%), 50-59 years (86.0%), 40-49 years (82.9%) and 18-29 years (79.2%).This represents a nearly I 0 percent decrease in the number of individuals in the 60-64 age range making donations to charities compared to last year and a decrease of 7.5 percent of 50-59 year o lds making contributions compared to 2008. G iving rates for younger people ( I 8-29 years) remain high, with nearly four out of five (79.2%) making contributions. Giving rates varied across the state, from lower rates in East Central Michigan (73.4%) and Detroit (78.9%) to higher rates in the Northern Lower Peninsula (85.1 %), Southwest Michigan (87.2%), Southeast Michigan (9 1.1 %), and the Upper Peninsula (96.8%).

One hour a week can make a big difference in a young person's future. Mentor Michigan supports nearly 250 organizations around the state that are changing lives by matching mentors with young people. Mentor Michigan provides those organizations with training and research. It fosters partnerships with businesses, faith-based and nonprofit organizations, schools, colleges and universities, and state and local government to support mentoring. Mentor Michigan also builds public awareness about the importance of and the need for mentors by urging caring adults to "Pass It On," because sharing a little of yourself with a young person can reward both of you with lifelong benefits. Mentor Michigan supports 238 mentoring organizations. A 2009 survey of 161 of those organizations in 52 Michigan counties concluded: • 28,536 children were served by mentors in 2009 . A number of these youth were disadvantaged, including 663 that lived in foster homes; 533 were diagnosed with a cognitive disability; 224 had a physical disability; and 1,431 had an incarcerated parent. • 47 percent of the youth being mentored were male, while 53 percent were female . • Michigan had 19,578 active mentors. Of those, 38 percent were male while 62 percent were female. "All across the great state of Michigan there are youngsters waiting for someone to come into thei r lives and give them some time. We want you on our team- join us today." Lloyd Carr Former University of Michigan head football coach Mentor Michigan recruitment spokesman Information obtained from American Journal of Public Health and Analyzing the social return on investment on youth mentoring programs: A Framework for Minnesota. "I was uncertain why and how a complete stranger would want to help me ... The stranger [my mentor] that I was not so sure about has turned into a friend who motivates me to succeed in and out of school." Floyd, High School Senior �Winning Futures mentee Pass It On Mentor Michigan (Page Two) Mentor Michigan supports quality mentoring through training and technical assistance. • Mentor Michigan provides MentorPRO, an online case management system that allows programs to manage their matches more efficiently.

This information is currently being processed by a third party vendor and will soon be made available on the MCSC website. Once live on the site, users may search for national service programs in Michigan by stream, city/county, and/or program focus area. This will not only assist with program recruitment efforts, but will also enable national service staff and members to quickly and easily locate potential partners for cross-stream collaboration. Cross-Stream Advisory Team The Cross-Stream Advisory Team, comprised of key stakeholders representing AmeriCorps, Senior Corps, and Learn and Serve programs, was created to enhance and strengthen Michigan ' s national service movement. This will be accomplished thorough the work of four subcommittees focused on the following areas: Outreach, Communication, Collaboration, and Training and Technical Assistance. The Outreach subcommittee will create and implement a strategy to raise awareness of and interest in national service. The Communication subcommittee will improve the way Michigan' s national service and volunteer programs communicate and connect with one another. The Collaboration subcommittee will assist Michigan's national service and volunteer programs with establishing and enhancing state and local partnerships. The TIT A subcommittee will identify and address training needs within the national service and voltmteer network. The Cross-Stream Advisory team recently created a strategic plan outlining goals/objectives with timetables for completion. Regional Training Events We are working with Cross-Stream Advisory Team members to identify key leaders to assist with the coordination of four regional meetings. These meetings will help connect local programs and organizations, identify regional training needs, and serve as a springboard for future cross-stream collaboration efforts. Meetings will take place this summer or early fall. 2010 Team Up Michigan! On October 12-13, 2010, the Team Up Michigan! cross-stream conference will bring together AmeriCorps, Senior Corps, and Learn and Serve program staff for two days of learning, networking, and planning ways to build a strong and sustainable infrastructure for volunteerism in local communities. Participants will explore strategies for effective collaboration while still maintaining their individual efforts. Overall goals for the 2010 Team Up Michigan! conference include: • Encourage effective collaboration among national service streams; • Support the professional development of national service program staff; and • Celebrate national service efforts in Michigan. • We plan to invite Patrick Corvington, CEO ofCNCS, to be the keynote speaker. �Engaging Volunteers Age 55 and Over The MCSC ' s plan to engage volunteers age 55 and over involves two overarching goals: • Targeted outreach to agencies providing services to older adults; and • Provide additional training for national service program staff on effective ways to engage and support volunteers age 55 and over. It is also important to extend these training opportunities to our partners and stakeholders outside of the realm of national service. Much of this additional training will be administered through Webinars. Webinar content will focus on how organizations can best recruit, manage, and retain volunteers specifically from the 1946-1964 generation. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

There is a 20% match requirement the first year. We can implement these funds directly at the state commission grant or subgrant funds to carry out the work. The MCSC may do a combination of both and much of the match could be made through the sub-grant piece of the award. 2.

MSU Extension has been lead applicant that placed members in mentoring organizations. They are at the end of their 3-year cycle and have decided not to reapply. We have partnered with MNA and MCC for a new program that will be placing 60 members in mentoring organizations across the state.

The unmet need is great throughout the state but the biggest geographic area ofunmet need is the Detroit area. We need to develop regional strategies as population and needs are diverse. This will also give regional funders a reason to invest in mentoring in their local communities. Mr. Campbell shared the five goals and objectives within the goals: • Promote awareness- not just nice, but necessary; o Generate research and knowledge on the Return on Investment of mentoring o Highlight mentoring success stories 3 �o • • • • Identify, encourage, and measure implementation of evidence-based practices Address underserved populations and communities to increase the number and quality of mentoring relationships; o Support and encourage programs to target underserved populations o Prioritize underserved communities Increase the capacity of mentoring organizations to provide high quality and effective programs to more youth; o Make sure programs are safe and impactful Connect resources and increase funding for mentoring organizations and to sustain Mentor Michigan; o Leverage funds to support mentoring o Important to have an organization like Mentor Michigan to advocate for mentoring o Educate on Quality Program Standards for Youth Mento ring Develop and operate a clearinghouse to locate and disseminate local, state, and national youth mentoring specific information. o Linking statewide and national opportunities to Michigan mentoring programs Mr. Campbell then explained the operational plan including the addition of a Development Director in the first year, a training coordinator in the second year, and the underserved populations/communities coordinator in year three.

Welcome and Introduction- Chairman Jim Vella The M CSC Board meeting was called to order at 9:19a.m. by Chairman Jim Vella. He gave an overview of the board meeting and retreat. He asked Commissioners to introduce themselves. II. Review and Approval of October 29, 2009 Minutes - Chairman Jim Vella Chairman Vella asked for a motion to approve the minutes from the October 29, 2009 board meeting. Commissioner Parker moved to approve the minutes; Commissioner Bloodworth seconded the motion. The motion passed unanimously. III. Standing Committee Reports A. Review Executive Committee minutes from November 12,2009 and January 8, 2010 meetings. Ms. VanDam gave an overview of the budget discussion from the November 12 meeting, and the recommendations aroLmd staffing. We will eliminate 2 positions -- the Director of Communications and one grants officer position. However, due to expanding national service opportunities, will proceed to fill the deputy director position. Chairman Vella asked for a motion to approve the minutes from the Executive Committee meetings. Commissioner Parker moved to approve the minutes; Commissioner Bloodworth seconded the motion. The motion passed unanimously. B. State Service Plan- Commissioner Lawson explained that the MCSC will be going into communities around the state to conduct listening sessions to determine the needs in each of the commtmities and how volunteers can make an impact in addressing some of those needs. The MCSC will use the feedback from these sessions to draft the new 3-year State Service Plan. IV . Program Updates A. AmeriCorps 1. Program Update - Jeanine Yard shared that the MCSC received 38 grant applications requesting AmeriCorps funding for 2010-11. This is the highest number of applications the MCSC has ever received and include several from new organizations to AmeriCorps and several from the Detroit area. Seventeen are recommended for competitive funding and five are being held for possible formula funding. Those that don't get funded through competitive fimding will be returned to us and we will consider them for formula funding . The Michigan's AmeriCorps member celebration was held in November 2009 and we had great feedback from attendees on the keynote speakers (Jim Vella and Tony Campbell). The first meeting of the AmeriCorps member council also took place during November 2009. These individuals are nominated by their AmeriCorps programs and work throughout the year to promote national service and AmeriCorps. The MCSC held a conference call with the organization leaders of the Michigan's AmeriCorps programs. Staff provided them with federal updates and leaders were able to share organizational accomplishments. This is a great way to develop their knowledge of AmeriCorps and national service. 2 �2. 2008 -09 Accomplishments - Ms. Yard shared some of the accomplishments from the last program year. Those included more than 24,000 students were educated about environmental issues, over 22,000 volunteers recruited and placed across the state, another 22,000 individuals were educated in disaster preparedness, and almost 7,000 people received access to healthcare. Several programs recei ved additional fimding and members this year through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act. Those programs see how much they have been able to accomplish with the additional members and are asking how they can receive more members with their regular funding. Members have provided services that focused on activities that meet commtmity needs such as deconstruction, weatherization, literacy, foreclosure prevention, tutoring, and disaster education. Commissioners asked how we are doing according to trends and if we are close to our target numbers. We might want to have three key stories that will put a face on the numbers. Ms . VanDam explained that the challenge that ArneriCorps has had, not only with our state but nationally, is there has never been any standardized performance measures . Programs develop measures for what they want but you can't compare one program to another because they are not measuring the same thing. With the Serve America Act there is a big push to begin to move in the standardized performance measure area. The CNCS brought in different workgroups develop standardized performance measures for the different areas (education, environment, etc). We are aiL'<ious to see what those are so that we can do a better job of telling our story. 3. ArneriCorps Competitive Funding- Jeanine Yard presented the staff recommendations for Michigan's ArneriCorps competitive application. The staff reviewed 36 new applications and 2 continuation applications and are recommending 15 new and 2 continuation applications be submitted to CNCS for funding. Staff is also recommending one education only award for approval. Five of the 36 new applications will be considered for formula. (See memo dated January 19,2010 from Paula Kaiser VanDan1 for fimding requests and descriptions.) Chairman Vella asked for a motion to support staff recommendations for Michigan's AmeriCorps Competitive funding. Commissioner Collier made a motion to approve the staff recommendations; Commissioner Bloodworth supported the motion. The motion passed unanimously with Commissioners Vella and Lawson (United Way), Campbell (Heart of \-Vest Michigan United Way), and Collier and Bloodworth (Michigan Nonprofit Association) abstaining from votes for those organizations due to conflict of interest. Commissioner Parker asked about the programs that were not recommended for fi.mding. Two programs withdrew their application due to their capacity to run an AmeriCorps program. Several of the applicants proposed doing the san1e thing existing programs are doing. Michigan's AmeriCorps staff will work with them to collaborate with other existing ArneriCorps programs. With the expansion of ArneriCorps, the MCSC will keep the other programs for possible fi.Jture funding opportunities. 3 �B. Learn and Serve Update- Angelia Salas shared that the Learn and Serve team is working with staff at Detroit Public Schools (DPS) to expand programming in DPS to identifY the current status of service and service-learning in DPS. Staff is working on a survey that will be sent to all DPS principals to identifY which schools are cunently engaged in service-l earning and what baniers exist for those that would like to implement it. She also shared that the MCSC's formu la allotment for Learn and Serve-Michigan has increased by nearly $ 125,000 which will allow us to offset some of the staff costs that were eliminated in our state general funds. It will also allow us to ftmd some special initiatives like Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM), supporting curriculum work and teacher professional development. The MCSC will be releasing their RFP soon for the additional fLmding and would like Commissioners to forward that to schools that might be interested in service-learning initiatives. The goal is to bring on seven new programs this year. The Learn and Serve-Michigan ArneriCorps* VISTA has been using social media (Twitter and Facebook) to expand the way we promote service-learning and connect with the service-l earning network. The Service-Learning Youth Council (SL YC) will be engaged in Global Youth Service Day (GYSD) activities. Ms. Salas gave an overview of the Detroit Service Learning Academy and their service-learrmg initiatives as Commissioners will be visiting this school today. The MCSC board meeting recessed at 10:00 am to participate in site visits to AmeriCorps and Learn and Serve programs. Commissioners returned and the board meeting reconvened at 3:00pm. C. Mentor Michigan 1. Mentor Michigan Wave VII Census - Amber Troupe explained that this past fa ll 161 mentoring progran1s completed the Mentor Michigan Census. This is the highest response rate ever for the Mentor Michigan Census. This wave showed an increase of over 5,600 youth served and an increase of more than 2,500 mentors . In addition to the increase in youth served and mentors, Mentor Michigan is seeing an increase of the use of I CHAT, the average duration of a match, and in programs implementing a minimum of one-hour per week time requirement. 2. Lloyd Carr VMP Mentoring Awards- Ms. Troupe gave an overview of the awards ceremony and the five winners. Lloyd Carr will present the awards at a ceremony on January 25. Mentor Michigan wi ll be able to use these stories to share the impact mentoring is having. 3. Mentor Michigan Strategic Plan - Commissioner Tony Campbell, Chair of the Mentor Michigan Strategic Planning Committee, gave an update on the strategic plan. He pointed out the touchstone questions that were critical to answer to have a strong strategic plan that could achieve the goals of mentoring in the state and gain long term suppmi. The committee identified a vision and mission statement. Research has shown that Mentor Michigan has been able to increase the number of mentors in the state and providers fe lt that the association with Mentor Michigan it has raised the credibility of mentoring throughout the state. According to some of the trends, the number of youth served has increased, the quality of mentoring has improved with the emphasis on the Mentor Michigan Program Standards for Youth Mentoring, and the placement of ArneriCorps 4 �members with mentoring organizations has increased the quantity and quality of mentoring matches, and the focus that the impact of mentoring moving from "mentoring is nice" to "mentoring is necessary", and the recmitment of men continues to be a challenge. He also stated that the top 15 perf01ming organizations (ranked by the number of children they serve) accounts for more than half of the children served in Michigan. So the question remains do you focus on these 15 organizations to increase their capacity or do you boost up other groups to help them increase their capacity. There are four major goals of the strategic plan: capacity building within mentoring organizations; target mentoring program capacity building eff01is in underserved commtmities; develop, leverage and connect resources and partners to strengthen the impact of youth mentoring programs; and build awareness and grow the youth mentoring movement. The committee broke out into four teams to identify objectives within each of the goals. It will be important to identify Return on Investment (ROI) data and share that with key stakeholders. D. Inclusion I Cross-Stream Update- Megan Sargent explained that the MCSC will be conducting more cross-stream training due to the changes in the PDAT funding. The MCSC has recently established a Cross-Stream Advisory Committee made up of members from the different national service streams of service in Michigan. We have a Cross-Stream AmeriCorps* VISTA who is helping to develop an online database for all national service programs in Michigan so that the public will be able to find programs in their areas. These cross-stream efforts will help us tell the full picture of national service in Michigan. Ms. Sargent also gave an update on Inclusion efforts including the AmeriCorps*VIST A member in our office, the Statewide Inclusion Team, and the new Inclusion e-newsletter that will be distributed.

Based upon thoughtful consideration of the field ' s needs and federa l funding priorities, Mentor Michigan has applied for a new AmeriCorps program in partnership with the Michigan Nonprofit Association and Michigan Campus Compact. This program will place up to 60 members in youth mentoring organizations to increase organizational capacity through activities such as mentor screening and training and match support. A new component related to access to postsecondary education will also be added in this new program. Mentor Michigan will manage program operations related to these 60 members. This program will also place up to 10 members on MCC member campuses to develop and facilitate pathways to higher education by promoting college-positive volunteerism and developing community partnersh ips. MCC will manage operations related to these 10 members. Mentor Michigan and MCC are already collaborating to offer joint training sessions for all 70 members engaged and are committed to working collaboratively througho ut the project to ensure success. OJJDP Grant Mentor Michigan has applied for the Strategic Enhancement to Mentoring Programs Grant through OJJDP. This grant was written in partnership with the Winning Futures program in Macomb County. If awarded, Mentor Michigan and Winning Futures will work over the next three years to reduce the frequency and severity of delinquent behavior by providing high intensity, long-term mentoring relationships to 120 youth who are at risk of becoming or are currently involved in the juvenile justice system at Community High School in Warren. Winning Futures will offer structured school -based mentoring programming during the academic year and increase the intensity and duration of matches by adding match meetings during evening and summer hours. Matches will participate in structured, site-based activities focused on promoting continued education, job readiness, and career planning. Mentor Michigan will monitor and support Winning Futures and will replicate best practices from this model throughout the state. Because many youth ages 15 to 17 are reluctant to attend events outside of school , this program will pilot unique strategies to entice youth participation outside of school hours. Success will be measured through pre and post tests of matches who receive incentives compared to control groups who do not. Attendance at out of school match meetings will be documented for both groups as well. Piloting and evaluating these strategies will enhance the understanding of how to best engage this youth population. Michigan's 5th Annual Premier Mentoring Conference- November 17, 2010 The 51h Annual Michigan's Premier Mentoring Conference is still several months away, but many details have already been finalized- including the 2010 keynote speaker.

The Michigan Community Service Commission (MCS C) is currently in the first of a three-year grant award. We submit an annual renewal application every winter. Due to an update in the funding formula, Michigan will now receive an additional $125,227 annually. The Corporation for National and Community Service also removed restrictions on the percentage of funds required to be allocated for subgrants offering us significantly more flexibility in the way we use the fimds . Our application is currently under review and we expect to receive notification of our status this summer. 2010 Institute: Service-Learning and Civic Engagement In February, the MCSC partnered with Michigan Campus Compact on the 14th annual Institute in Traverse City, Michigan. Nearly 350 participants; including educators and community service directors from K-12 and Higher Education, community partners, and students attended this event. Teams from a majority of our grantees attended this event and we were able to provide financial assistance to each of our 2009-201 0 grantees to attend the conference. Two SL YC members, four grantees, plus MCSC staff and VISTA members presented at the conference giving us an excellent opportunity to share high quality service-learning examples. Two of our SL YC members also conducted a highly rated session on "The Achievement Gap -A Youth Perspective on Issues and Solutions." Thanks to Commissioners Vella, Lubig, Hill, and Smith for supporting the event. The commissioners assisted in planning, speaking roles, and award presentations. Commissioner Hill went above the call of duty and filled in expertly for a keynote speaker who was unable to attend. Chairman Vella also addressed a gathering of college Presidents. 2010 Learn and Serve Award Winners Four recipients representing a teacher/practitioner, innovative service-learning programs, and a student were honored with the 2010 Outstanding Service-Learning Awards at the Institute: Service-Learning and Civic Engagement. Commissioners Vella and Smith presented the awards on behalf of the MCSC. The Detroit Service Learning Academy and the Environmental Studies class at Onaway Area Schools were presented with the Innovative Program Award. This award honors K-12 service-learning programs demonstrating innovation and excellence. Ella Kate Wagner, Belding High School Senior won the Student Award which recognizes a K-12 student who demonstrates leadership in the development and implementation of service-learning in their district and demonstrates initiative and creativity in service-learning participation. Sue Wilson from Clarkston Community Schools was awarded the K-12 Teacher/Practitioner Award which recognizes a teacher who has served as a model of leadership for service-learning. Each of the award recipients are examples of high quality service-learning and each has been a valuable partner in the MCSC education and outreach efforts. 2010-2011 Learn and Serve Funding In January we issued application guidelines for new and renewal applicants. Twenty current grantees were eligible for renewal funding allowing us to bring on approximately seven new school districts. In February we conducted a face-to-face outreach session in Saginaw and we offered a second outreach session by webinar. �'· For the first time we worked with the grants and finance department to offer a one-hour financial webinar to assist applicants in developing a high quality application. The outreach sessions were well received and seemed to improve the quality of the submissions we received. In April we received applications from 18 of our 20 current grantees and 14 new applicants. Of those we identified 25 applicants with the strongest potential for quality programming that could be sustained at the end of the six-year grant period. The remaining applicants will be invited to participate in our Learn and Serve professional development and to receive coaching so they are well equipped to successfully apply in the future. 2010 Global Youth Service Dav This year the Michigan Community Service Commission was a lead agency for Global Youth Service Day (GYSD). Learn and ServeMichigan contributed to this effort by recruiting grantees to register their local projects. Learn and Serve - Michigan also partnered with Lansing Board of Water and Light and the Impression 5 Science Museum for the Adopt A River Clean Up where more than 100 students pledged to become environmental stewards and protect Michigan ' s lakes and waterways. Three members of the ServiceLearning Youth Council (SL YC) assisted with the Adopt A River project and many of the other SLYC members are participating in GYSD by running donation-drives in their home communities to get supplies for their local animal shelters. Through our efforts 22 projects were registered with more than 1,415 youth participants for Global Youth Service Day, making us one of the top states in the nations for most projects registered. The MCSC, by serving as a GYSD Lead Agency, also connected with various other lead agencies across the cotmtry via webinar by providing key information and resources when partnering with State Service Commissions. Social Media Webinar In February, a new grantee from the Upper Peninsula requested that we repeat a session on using social media in service-learning for their staff in-service. Elyse Walter and Robyn Stegman had originally offered the session at our fall grantee meeting. There has been increased interest in using social media to support servicelearning and to promote the good things happening in schools. As part of this training opportunity, information was provided on blog writing, Twitter, and Facebook. Using the MCSC's webinar technology we were able to easily address training needs where distance would have previously been a barrier. We will increasingly be using webinars to address specific training needs in the fie ld. Looking Forward We are finishing site visits for the 2009-2010 grant year. The most notable observation thus far is that grantees are developing strategic steps for sustaining their programs. It seems evident our sustainability rubric and the 2009 Sustainability Symposium have been helpful. The most evident need appears to be localized, advanced, high quality service-learning professional development. We will work to more closely assess those local needs this spring. This summer we will work to offer a specialized training for service-learning leaders. Most mid-to-large districts have employed a service-learning "champion" model that empowers individuals in the various buildings to take leadership for growing service-learning within their school. This model reduces the outreach burden on the primary coordinator and allows for a broader perspective on sustainability strategies. We are working to develop a training that provides a consistent set of duties for the building champions and strategies for managing those duties. All grantees will be eligible to send their building champions to this training. �We are begi1ming our 2009-2010 Learn and Serve evaluation this month. RMC Research is studying Learn and Serve - Michigar1 sub grantees and sub grantees from eight other Midwest states using a retrospective survey of teachers and sh1dents. We already worked with RMC to provide all sites with an orientation to the study process and the surveys will be administered as soon as treatment and comparison classrooms are selected. Results of the surveys will tell us about the quality of service-leaming in Michigan and the relation between quality practice and standardized test results. Michigan has also been identified to participate in the 2020-2011 national service-leaming study. The Learn and Serve- Michigan coordinator is on the national design team. The design is nearly complete ar1d fmal survey documents will be sent for IRB approval this spring. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

AmeriCorps is a national service program that strengthens communities by involving people in service to meet local challenges. Through AmeriCorps, individuals can serve with community and faith-based organizations, higher education institutions, and public agencies in many ways. The Corporation for National and Community Service administers AmeriCorps at the federal level and partners with states to fund national service programs locally. The Michigan Community Service Commission (MCSC) administers Michigan's AmeriCorps. 1,235 AmeriCorps members are enrolled in 19 programs in 2010. • Michigan 's AmeriCorps members will spend more than 600,000 hours in service and traini ng this year. • Michigan's AmeriCorps members who successfully complete their term of service this yea r have the potential of earning more than $2.5 million in education awards. • Michigan 's AmeriCorps members will recruit, place , and/or support more than 24,000 volunteers this year. Those volunteers may donate upwards of 144,000 hours of service to their communities. "Without the members serving in the Michigan's AmeriCorps program , we would not have been able to support 38 new and more than 250 existing partner families last year, nor would we have been able to capitalize on the more than 3,000 volunteers we rely on . AmeriCorps members allow our affiliates to provide decent, affordable housing to famil ies in need." Ken Bensen CEO, Habitat for Humanity of Michigan Financial Impact $8,203,428 in Federal Funds has been allotted to the Michigan Community Service Commission for 2009-2010 AmeriCorps programs. $6,116,332 in Match Funds will be leveraged by those AmeriCorps Programs' local areas in 20092010. 2009-2010 Michigan 's AmeriCorps funding includes a base grant from the Corporation for National & Community Service and funds received from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act. �Getting Things Done in Michigan Michigan's AmeriCorps (Page Two) 883 Michigan's AmeriCorps members were enrolled in 18 programs in 2008-2009. • Those members spent 628,188 hours in service and train ing and impacted more than 110,000 students, citizens, and volunteers. • Last year, Michigan's AmeriCorps members helped 6,863 individuals receive access to health care, diagnosis, and/or follow-up ; and/or screened for needed care . • AmeriCorps members in Michigan helped 23 low-income families move into safe, affordable housing. • 3,405 students received tutoring services or homework help from Mich igan's AmeriCorps members - 5,927 more students received in- and out-of-class enrichment services. • In 2008-2009 , AmeriCorps members in Michigan helped 1,081 individuals receive disaster relief services or disaster education. • Because of Michigan 's AmeriCorps members, more than 20,000 children benefited from ongoing mentoring relationships in the state. • 24,240 individuals were educated about environmental issues by AmeriCorps members in Michigan last year.
