This grant was written in partnership with the MSU Extension Journey 4-H Youth Mentoring programs in Muskegon and Ottawa counties. We received notification that our proposal is being funded in full - $494,893 over three years. With this grant, we will provide 100 youth involved in the juvenile justice system in Ottawa and Muskegon Counties with a long-term mentoring relationship that engages meptors and youth in structured, outdoor, active, skill-building activities. Journey matches adult volunteer mentors with courtinvolved youth for a minimum of one year. The Outdoor Challenge component will offer matches the opportunity to go through a six-week Outdoor Challenge series to kick off their one year match, with clinics in orienteering, mountain biking, paddling, climbing, fishing, etc. On the seventh week the program culminates in a weekend campout. Monthly group activities will be planned throughout the year. Many volunteers are reluctant to mentor court-involved youth. This model will provide structured activities to reduce that anxiety. The Outdoor Challenge component will open doors to mentor recruitment through a variety of recreational groups. Mentor recruitment is challenging and this grant will provide us with an opportunity to implement a new and creative strategy. The hope is that men will be attracted to the mentoring program due to the outdoor component. Volunteers will share their passion for outdoor activities with a youth in need of a mentor. Mentor Michigan will monitor and support the pilot sites to replicate this model throughout the state. Mentor Michigan Census This fall, 161 mentoring programs that are registered in the Mentor Michigan Directory completed the Mentor Michigan Census between September 11 and October 9. This is the highest response rate ever for the Mentor Michigan Census. Preliminary reports are showing an increase of youth served by over 9,000 and an increase of mentors by over 2,800. This reflects an increase in small group mentoring. Also noteworthy is an increase in post match training showing an increased focus on quality relationships. Complete reports will be available in December. Annual Premier Mentoring Conference Michigan's 4th Annual Premier Mentoring Conference is being held on November 18 in East Lansing. Participants will have the opportunity to interact with leading authorities who will discuss best practices, quality enhancement, and much more. We will be offering several interactive workshops based on new and effective practices in the field of youth mentoring. Craig Bowman of Common Ground Consulting will provide our opening keynote along with two different workshops. Craig has provided consulting services for community-based, national , and international social profit organizations. He is an expert in organizational assessment, development, and management issues; and has provided on-site technical 4th 4th Annuol ~ ~ ~ Michigan's Premier Mentoring Conference assistance and capacity building to social sector organizations in the U.S. and abroad. Registration information is available at www.mentormichigan.org. Caregiver's Choice Mentor Michigan is working closely with MENTOR/The National Mentoring Partnership to promote Caregiver's Choice in Michigan. Caregiver's Choice allows mentoring programs to receive $1,000 for every �match involving a child of an incarcerated parent. Currently, 24 Michigan programs are approved for Caregiver's Choice. Beginning October 1st, Mentor Michigan began working to recruit an additional 55 programs to become approved Caregiver's Choice providers. MENTOR will be providing Mentor Michigan with $10,000 to conduct this outreach. Programs have struggled to identify children who have a parent in prison and as a result have struggled to utilize this funding in the past. So, Mentor Michigan has rekindled an existing partnership with the Department of Corrections which allows inmates or family members visiting the prison facilities to refer kids to Mentor Michigan. Since July, over 50 referrals have come from DOC and have been placed with mentoring organizations that are part of our network. Also, on September 23rd, Rev. Dr. Wilson Goode visited Huron Valley Correctional Facility, which is the only all-female prison in the state, and spoke to over 100 inmates. 163 children were referred by these inmates, and Mentor Michigan is working with mentoring organizations throughout the state to serve these youth. Mentor Michigan Spokesman: Lloyd Carr Former University of Michigan head football coach Lloyd Carr is Mentor Michigan's newest champion for recruiting mentors. In August, Coach Carr was the keynote speaker at the Heart of West Michigan United Way' s Schools of Hope kickoff in Grand Rapids and in October, Coach Carr was the keynote speaker the Big Brothers Big Sisters Michigan Capital Region Annual Dinner. More than 250 individuals attended BBBSMCR's fundraiser, making it one of their most successful events in recent years. Michigan Association of Mayors The Michigan Association of Mayors continues to lend its support to mentoring. Mayor McDowell from Adrian is the current president of the Association and makes mentoring a focus of their meetings. This group remains committed to bringing awareness to the importance of men taring and seeking support for mentoring in their communities. The Association also donated $1 ,500 to Mentor Michigan in August. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

In 2009-2010, the MCSC is granting more than $8.2 million in federal funds to local communities for volunteer programs and activities. The MCSC is funding 19 AmeriCorps programs and 20 Learn and Serve programs. The Governor's Service Awards and Mentor Michigan are also prem ier programs of the MCSC. The MCSC is housed in the Michigan Department of Human Services, whose mission is to assist children , families , and vulnerable adults to be safe , stable, and self-supporting . The MCSC Board of Commissioners consists of 25 Governor appointed members who approve funding , determine policy, serve as ambassadors for service , and engage in resource development. For FY201 0, the State of Michigan's General Funds investment will leverage $9.4 million in federal funds that the MCSC receives from the Corporation for National and Community Service. These federal funds are helping financially struggling nonprofit organizations and schools meet the growing social need in our communities through service and volunteerism . Michigan's AmeriCorps This year more than 1200 individuals will serve our struggling communities through AmeriCorps. These AmeriCorps members will serve in 327 nonprofits and schools throughout the state addressing some of our state's toughest challenges. Members will provide foreclosure prevention and financial counseling , help ex-offenders re-enter society, help homeless individuals and families find permanent housing , organize literacy and tutoring programs for underperforming youth , mentor and support youth from disadvantaged circumstances , and support health care services to the most needy. Members often engage others in their efforts. On average, each member recruits an additional 23 volunteers to help address the needs in their communities. These volunteers give nearly 184,000 hours of service equating to an additional $3.7 million of services contributed to Michigan communities. As a result of their year of service, AmeriCorps members will earn an estimated $3.4 million in education awards to pay for college , vocational train ing programs, or repay student loans. At a time when many Michigan families are struggling to find employment or pay for college , AmeriCorps can be a solution. As our state is facing double digit unemployment, AmeriCorps is providing individuals with opportunities to gain valuable job skills, retrain for new careers, and the ability to stay in their home community. In fact, MCSC received $2.5 million from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act to expand AmeriCorps opportunities in Michigan . Research has shown that after one year of AmeriCorps service , members are more likely to stay in the community they served , pursue careers in the nonprofit and public sector, and continue to be civically involved . Online applications to AmeriCorps have risen dramatically in recent months, fueled by a "compassion boom " of Americans wanting to help their neighbors in tough times, increased interest in public service by millennials and boomers , the economy, and an "Obama effect" of people responding to the President's call to service. Between November 2008 and April 2009, AmeriCorps received 76,404 online applications , an increase of 230% from the 23,145 applications that came in the same six month period a year ago. 1 �Learn and Serve- Michigan Through Learn and Serve - Michigan , more than 25,000 K - 12 students across Michigan will be given the opportunity to connect meaningful service to their community with classroom instruction . These students will provide close to 540,000 hours of service through numerous opportunities to apply what they are learning in school to solve real community problems. Service-learning helps students understand the relevance of what they are studying and how it applies to the real world. It also helps them develop stronger bonds with their teachers and fellow classmates keeping them more connected to their school and less likely to dropout. Service-learning helps increase overall job experience and career awareness . It also creates a commitment among young people to be part of the solution and not part of the problem . Research shows that individuals that volunteer at an early age are more likely to continue to volunteer throughout their life time . We can count on these 25,000 students to be the next generation of community leaders and problem solvers . Mentor Michigan In addition to leveraging the federal funds , our State General funds are used to expand youth mentoring across the state. Through Mentor Michigan , the MCSC is supporting a network to 300 mentoring organizations that are changing lives by matching mentors with young people . Last year, these organizations served 23,000 youth with mentors. Since the inception of Mentor Michigan , the MCSC has leveraged $4.1 million in federal funds to help increase the capacity of local mentoring organization to serve more youth . Mentor Michigan continues to raise awareness about the importance of and need for mentors. Governor's Service Awards The Governor's Service Awards honor and celebrate Michigan citizens who volunteer their time to make communities better places to live . Since 1994, the Governor and his/her spouse have been recognizing Michigan's outstanding volunteers . The annual celebration includes a private reception hosted by the Governor followed by an awards presentation . The awards are given in eight categories highlighting the diverse nature of volunteers in our state. People from across Michigan nominate their friends , colleagues , family and neighbors for these prestig ious awards. New Federal Funding Opportunities This spring , Congress passed the Edward M. Kennedy Serve America Act. This landmark legislation charges the Corporation for National and Community Service and its partners , including the MCSC, to dramatically expand opportunities for Americans to serve, to focus on critical national issues, to be a catalyst for social innovation , and to support the nonprofit sector. The law both expands existing programs and creates new initiatives to increase service opportunities and strengthen our civic infrastructure. The Serve America Act, which goes into effect on October 1, would increase and enhance opportunities for Americans of all ages to serve by increasing AmeriCorps from 75,000 to 250,000 positions over the next eight years, while increasing opportunities for students and older Americans to serve. It will strengthen America's civic infrastructure through the social innovation fund , volunteer generation fund , and nonprofit capacity building fund . The Corporation 's FY 2010 budget has not been finalized to date so we estimate that the MCSC could leverage an additional $2.5 million this year through the Serve America Act initiatives . 2 � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

On Tuesday, March 4, 2008, Certa rece ived a ca ll to bring four of hi eni ors to New Orl eans, Loui siana, to ass ist the show in buildin g a house and church prev iously destroyed by Hurricane Katrina. From Friday, March 6 through Saturday, March 14, CHS Co nstructi on Program and Learn & Serve students Co rey Gotshall , Cli ff Jones, Kyl e Jones , and Nathan Tripplehorn ass isted with framing, in stalling doors, sheeting, wrapping, and landscaping. " Volunteers were divided into skill ed and un skilled groups. As these young men were in th eir fourth yea r of Charlevo ix Hi gh School 's Constructi on Program, they were qualifi ed to wea r the 'skill ed' badges that prov ided access to all project sites. Then it was j ust a matter of putting those skill s to work - and they certa inly did . Certa says by the end of the week the students were receiving offers of in ternships and jobs with large construction compani es located in North Carolina, Vi rgini a, and Tennessee. Despite the work experi ences and netwo rkin g opportuni ties, Certa be li eves thi s trip a lso summed up th e va lu e of service-l ea rning. "[Service-l ea rni ng] stretches their boundari es outside of schoo l wa ll s and allows students to recogn ize the need fo r educati on and how useful it is in the rea l world . Focusing on th e needs of others is an eye-opening ex peri ence for man y young peopl e and transforms them into more thoughtful and compass ionate beings," sa id Ce rta. Learn & Serve - Mi chi ga n funds ass isted with transportation and housing costs for the C HS students and Certa. Service-l earning is a teaching and learning approach that conn ects mea ningful service to th e co mmunity with classroom in tructi on that enri ches learning, teaches ci vic responsibility, and fos ters personal growth. It helps youth see beyond the classroom and into the co mmunity where they learn math , sc ience, language arts, and other required subj ects by 538,477 hours of service- learnin g. They were ass isted by 2,713 adult volunteers. They compl eted 70 community revitalization projects in 2007-2008.

Never rea ll y hav in g a pl ace to ca ll home. Wondering if anyone ca red about her. These are all phrases that desc ribe the first 13 yea rs of Jami e Whipple 's li fe. Howeve r her Ii fe changed dramatically in 2004, when she met an indi vi du al who would become the one constant in her li fe - her mentor, Mi chele - through the Ottawa County Journey 4-1-1 Youth Mentorin g Program. Their first meeting occurred at a local coffee shop in Grand Haven where they became acqu ainted and di scovered they had much in common. From that point on, they were inseparable. In 2006, they even participated in the annual Labor Day Mackinac Bridge Run , and Mi chell e introduced Jami e to a new way of life. Undoubtedly, mentoring has made such a change in her life that she loves to share her uplifting ex peri ence with others. In February 2008, Jami e The Impact shared her personal story during a national web in ar for mentoring program staff who work with at- ri sk youth. And , at the October 2008 Mi chi gan Dropout Preven ti on Summit, Jam ie ex plained th e positive effect mentoring has had on her views about the impo1tance of ed ucation. " Wh en things were bad at home my grades would fall ," ex pl ained Jam ie. " If I' m ever hav ing a problem in Engli sh or 1-1 istory, sometimes Michele will co me over, pick me up, and help me with my hom ework. She always helps me focus." Jamie and Michele 's participation in the Ottawa Co unty Journey Youth Mentoring Program wi ll end in late 2009 once Jami e turns 18 - but that doesn' t mean they won 't continue their mentorin g relationship in the future. " We've set a goa l that we'll continue to meet once a month for coffee after I turn 18," sa id Jami e. A 2008 survey of 143 mentoring organizations in 47 Michigan counties concluded: 22,916 children were mentored in 2008. A number of these yo uth are disadvantaged, inc ludin g 730 that li ve in foster ho mes; 607 who have been di agnosed wi th a cog nitive di sab ility ; 168 ha ve a ph ys ica l di sa bility; and I ,245 have an incarcerated parent. 227 Michi ga n ment orin g o rga ni za tion s reg iste red with M entor Mi chi ga n. The state has 17,051 act ive mentors. Of tho se, 36 percent are ma le while 64 percent are female. 10 �"Every day I keep thinking abo ut how g ratefu l I am to have Michele in my life.

Michele supports her and encourages her to reach that goa l. One hour a week can make a big difference in a young person 's fut ure. Mentor Mich igan suppo11s more than 225 organizations around the state that are changing lives by matching mentors with young people. And, Mentor Michigan provides those organizations with training a nd research. It fosters partnerships with businesses, faith-based and no nprofit orga ni zations, schoo ls, co ll eges and uni ve rs iti es, and state and loca l govern ment to s upport me ntoring. Mentor Michigan also builds public awa reness about the impo rtance of and the need for mentors by urging caring adu lts to " pass it on ," because sharing a little of yourse lf with a you ng person can reward both of yo u with li fe long benefits. This year, Mentor Michigan a lso la unc hed Mentor PRO, an on line case management system that a ll ows programs to manage their matches more efficiently.

All the recognized youth have devoted at least 50 hours to volunteer service in the past year, qualifying them for the prestigious award which recognizes individuals, families, and groups with lapel pins, recognition certificates, and a letter signed by President Obama. The awards presentation was included in the annual Service and Leadership Camp sponsored by The LEAGUE, the Michigan Community Service Commission, and Learn and Serve Michigan. This year's event, "Super Servers: Taking on the Challenge of Service," featured activities such as teambuilding, a Challenge Day program, service projects, and workshops for teachers and students. During the camp, nearly 125 youth from across the state made a personal pledge to service including: "I pledge to care more, to get up off my butt, and to do something " "I pledge to recycle more than I do now. " "I pledge to do five service projects with a good cause. " "I pledge to get my family involved in more community service activities.

The communications department created a toolkit to help practitioners draw attention to the impact of their service-learning efforts and did regular electronic outreach to 0 encourage participation. This year the Challenge is being promoted as a way to kick off service-learning in local communities. Our highlighted event was held on rOctober 16 at the Detroit Service-Learning Academy (DSLA). As the name would suggest, service-learning is at the heart of education at DSLA. Each student, teacher, and staff member participates in service-learning activities that are linked to academic content. In addition, the DSLA Superintendent, Paula Kaiser VanDam, and DSLA Board President spoke to students about the importance of their work and challenged them to live up to their reputation as a service-learning leader. The event was videotaped by the Learn and Serve VISTA and has been shared on the MCSC's YouTube Channel and on the MCSC ' s Youth Service Blog. Additional Challenge efforts will be shared in this way throughout the year. !!i - :z: > lEARN&SERVE CHALLENGE � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

The campaign is designed to promote citizen service and increase meaningful opportunities for Americans to volunteer their time and skills. ElF was inspired to create "I Participate" by attending the 2008 ServiceNation Summit, which promoted volunteerism as national and legislative priorities for the presidential nominees and the incoming Administration and Congress. "I Participate" National Kick Off ElF's campaign kicked off with a week of specially-created television programming . More than 90 primetime , daytime, news , and talk shows on ABC , CBS , FOX, and NBC featured storylines or public service announcements highlighting the importance of service. Several of last week's highlights included : • • • • PAR I PATE ENTERTAINMENT INDU STRY FOUNDATION NBC's The Biggest Loser promoted the Pound for Pound Challenge, which calls on citizens to support national and local hunger initiatives and community food banks. ABC's Dancing with the Stars promoted the work done by Habitat for Humanity by sending a dancing pair to help build a home in the Los Angeles area. CBS aired a variety of service-related public service announcements read by their show's stars, including Wanda Sykes. FOX's So You Think You Can Dance sent several of its participants to community dance organizations throughout the country . The week of October 19 wasn 't the only coordinated plan for "I Participate." This campaign looks to be a multi-year effort that will focus on volunteer opportunities that align with five key areas: education and children , health and well-being , economic development, environmental conservation , and support for military families . More information about "I Participate" can be found at www.iparticipate.org. "I Participate" in Michigan The Michigan Community Service Commission supported the efforts of ElF's "I Participate" kick off as well. Information was sent to all MCSC grantees, constituents, media, and the general public to spread the word and get others involved . Many media outlets throughout the state made mention of the "I Participate" campaign or volunteerism during the week of October 19, including the following : • • • The Detroit News o Networks join volunteer campaign (1 0/20) Holland Sentinel o My take- Is this your time to step up?

Kennedy Serve America Act. The new grant funding - totaling $1 million dollars- will support innovative summer-time service-learning programs for students grades 6 through 9. "These grants are geared to funding programs that will ignite the spark of civic engagement in students at a critical point in their lives," said Nicola Goren, acting CEO of the Corporation. "Getting involved in service at a young age will start students on a path toward life-long service while at the same time, they address pressing needs in their own communities." The Corporation anticipates awarding five to seven grants to support collaborative efforts to implement community-based service-learning projects during the summer months. To qualify for funding, projects will have to provide students with service-learning experiences that address environmental or disaster preparedness issues relevant to the community served and teach or reinforce academic, civic and leadership development for participants. Participants in the Summer of Service must complete at least 100 hours of service through the summer program and are eligible to receive a $500 education award in return for their service that can be used to pay for post-secondary education expenses. Eligible applicants for these awards include state education agencies, state service commissions, U.S. territories, Indian tribes, institutions of higher education, public or private nonprofit organizations, faith-based organizations, public or private elementary or secondary schools, local education agencies, and consortia of such entities. Funding for this grant competition is contingent on the enactment of the Fiscal Year 20 I 0 budget for the Corporation. Click here for more information about this funding opportunity and instructions on how to apply. The deadline for applications is 5 p.m. EST, December 10. Learn and Serve America grants provide support to organizations that involve over 1 million young people in servicelearning projects that simultaneously support student development and meet community needs.

I appreciated the opportunity to tour the commission and learn more about the valuable programming and services that MCSC provides to the state of Michigan. During my visit, I met with commission staff and various commission stakeholders, including interviews with Evan Albert, CNCS State Program Director; Angelia Salas, State Learn & Serve Program Officer; Jason Weller and Melissa Grant of subgrantee Campaign Against Homeless; and Jane Ray of subgrantee Habitat for Humanity of Michigan. The visit was concluded with an exit meeting to discuss preliminary findings with you, Garry Gross, Marcy Bishop, Jeanine Yard, Megan Sargent, and Michelle Mackie. Upon my return to Washington, I completed a follow-up desk review of the supporting documentation that was shipped to my office. As promised, I am providing you with this monitoring report to review the findings in greater detail. I have also included the completed monitoring tool used during the visit and the follow-up desk review as adopted from the AmeriCorps State Administrative Standards. The standards modules used for monitoring were as follows : • • • • • Standard One: Uses a Planning and Assessment Process Standard Two: Manages Staff and Ensures Effective Board Governance Standard Three: Communication with and Generates Support from Outside Sources Standard Six: Properly Monitors Subgrantees and Ensures Compliance Standard Seven: Implements a System for Training and Technical Assistance In addition, I did a cursory review of the following standards: • • Standard Five: Conducts Proper Subgrantee Process Standard Eight: Provides Appropriate Financial Oversight of Subgrantees 1 of24 �Below, I have summarized the strengths, clarification items, required actions, and suggested actions that resulted from the visit. I ask that you send me a plan for addressing clarification items and required actions in writing (email) by Tuesday, November 10,2009. In your response, please describe your timeline for addressing the required actions below. Though not required, I also encourage you to consider implementing the suggested actions prior to the start of your 2010 Administrative grant on January 1, 2010. Strengths: • Standard One: MCSC uses a strategic planning process for the development of its state service plan and evaluates against this plan annually as evidenced by its Blueprint for Action Plans. • Standard Two: MCSC benefits greatly from the capacity of strong staff as evidenced by the quality of documentation and feedback from interviewed stakeholders. Commission provides adequate support to its staff including professional development opportunities. The complement of staff appears to be appropriate for the commission's workload. Furthermore, the commission complies with its own state's requirements for managing commissions and/or boards . • Standard Three: MCSC has diverse funding support from public and private funding . Although future state funding at current levels is to be determined, the commission receives a high level of cash match support of approximately $1M from its state agency ' s budget. Commissioners also raise money for the annual governor's service awards and are developing a separate fund to support subgrantee match. • Standard Six: MCSC effectively monitors and ensures compliance through a hands-on facilitative approach with its subgrantees. Commission has an effective subgrantee monitoring instrument that is adapted from the State Administrative Standards Tool used by CNCS. Moreover, the commission provides timely and supportive feedback to its subgrantees a strength ofthe commission's program and training staff. • Standard Seven: MCSC provides effective training and technical assistance to its subgrantees. Its system includes the use of appropriate technology, a needs assessment survey, monthly training deliverables, and ongoing evaluation to support continuous improvement. The incorporation of AmeriCorps VISTA to support its cross-stream committee and inclusion workgroup efforts is promising. In addition, training opportunities are open to AmeriCorps national programs operational sites as evidenced by Community Health Corps participation at the 9/24 program directors meeting. Clarification Items: • Please describe the impact to commission operations given the state budget crisis and the future of state agency funding at current levels. • Please describe the relationship of the Senior Corps Directors Association within the scope of the state service plan. 2 of24 �Required Actions: • Please include me on the distribution list of regular commissioner meeting agendas and minutes. • Standard Eight: The ability of the state agency to process cash reimbursement in a timely manner is a concern. The current turnaround of up to 45 days to process a payment places tremendous hardship on subgrantees particularly among those smaller subgrantees that do not have enough cash reserve to front the costs. As the commission gears up for expansion, this processing delay is NOT reasonable and may limit the type of organizations that can apply for AmeriCorps funding through the commission. To be accessible to smaller non-profits, the commission must decrease the time needed to reimburse its subgrantees, or at least have a measure in place to expedite reimbursements in cases of extreme hardship. Suggested Actions: • Standard Element l .b.: Given the expanded role of state service commissions under Edward M. Kennedy Serve America Act, it is recommended that the commission revisit its mission statement with stakeholders identified in the upcoming state service plan. • Standard Element l.h.: It is recommended that the commission strengthen its intermediary, coalition, and consortium models to improve upon program development in underserved areas of the state, including Indian Country. • Standard Element 2.f.: It is recommended that the commission include a labor representative from the school union, a youth commissioner from its state learn and serve portfolio, and a volunteer sector representative as commissioner appointments to the board to address the current needs of the commission. • Standard Element 2.g.: It is recommended that the commission include a CNCS state office report and a State LSA report as standing agenda items at commissioner meetings. This would allow for a regular portfolio update on national service activities across the state in which the commissioners oversee. • Standard Element 2.g.: There appears to be a lack of understanding of commissioners on the part of the subgrantees. Continued awareness on the part of both parties is recommended so that there is an alignment between all levels of stakeholders. Subgrantees are aware of their commissioners as commissioners are aware of the progress in the AmeriCorps State and State LSA portfolio. • Standard Element 3.a.: It is recommended that MCSC strengthen its award notification process to further support the branding of the commission among the general public and elected officials. • Standard Element 3.d.: It is recommended that the commission continue to work with the CNCS state office to share project development strategies, including joint-programming underserved communities including service in Indian Country. • Standard Element 7.b.: It is recommended that the commission track its training deliverables and evaluation results for reporting and continuous development purposes. • Standard Element 7.b. : It is recommended that the commission research a servicelearning model (i.e., Leader Corps) to strengthen its inter-corps council to assist with organizing member conferences and national days of service events. 3 of24 �• Standard Element 7.b.: It is recommended that the commission incorporate the effective use of AmeriCorps ALUMS into various commission functions to assist with the local ALUMS chapter development. For example, ALUMS may be used creatively to support the commission's application review process, as a training resource to new members on how to survive on living allowance and Life After AmeriCorps, or as a ALUM representati ve on various committees including serving as a member training advisor or state commissioner. ALUMS are your future program directors, sponsor EDs, or commission staff as evidenced by many ALUMS in your AmeriCorps portfolio. The commission may also budget for ALUMS support in its Admin/PDAT/Disability if it so chooses . Above all, I hope that this monitoring report will serve as a useful tool for MCSC to focus on areas of compliance, where needed; as well as to consider areas for continuous programmatic and organizational improvement. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions regarding any of the required actions, clarification items, or suggested actions described in this letter; or any of the content of the fina l monitoring report. Thank you again for arranging for my visit, and I look forward to reviewing your responses and working with you further.

The transition committee has drafted a strategy template to address short, mid and long term goals. The template is a comprehensive, working document that can be used fluidly throughout the transition of the MCSC. The committee feels it is flexible to adapt to several case scenarios that may arise during the transition period. In addition to the transition strategy, the committee discussed key issues that will set the tone to move through the identified short, mid and long term goals. These issues will impact the long-term strength and enhance the brand ofthe organization: 1- Repositioning the organization With the Serve America act in place timing is optimal to brand the MCSC as the resource for people to think of first . A webinar provides a tremendous opportunity to position the MCSC brand and promote the organization's assets as a critical resource toward a larger constituency. Compile a working committee to develop plan of response to the president's call to service in Michigan . Evaluate Ml's response proposal to be submitted to the governor. The proposal is to compile a working group to move on the creation of the plan. The committee may consist of a few commissioners and stakeholders. Identify a "non choir" member (Dottie Johnson, Julie Fisher Cummings) to facilitate the work of the committee to use this national opportunity to raise awareness. The environment has changed, this provides good opportunity to bring someone in to evaluate where are we now and where are we going? With this plan we can launch our story as a resource to achieve organization goals and enhance the role of volunteerism (participants, economic impact and resources) in MI. This focused work will provide a platform for Ml to place in priority status at a national level for funding and support as in past years. 2- Changing the name of the MCSC In order to reposition the organization as a key resource, implementing a recognizable brand name will be a key element of the strategic plan. This will integrate into the strategic plan through consistent branding, messaging and education tactics. -Possible consultant to evaluate logo/name change? -Evaluate the demographics surrounding the dynamics of using the MCSC � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Kellogg Foundation Lloyd Jackson WJRRadio The MCSC AmeriCorps staff conducted an open application process for 2009-10 funding. Fourteen organizations in total applied for new three-year grants to begin in 2009-10. This included one current competitively-funded program, eight current formula-funded programs, and five new applicant organizations. Five additional current programs are eligible and applied for continuation funding for 2009-10.

Kellogg Foundation Donna Niester James C. Acheson Foundation Acheson Ventures Bernard Parker Wayne County Commissioner Jerry Seese Saginaw Township Community Schools The pool of fourteen new/recompete applications was reduced to ten during the review process. Applications from Volunteer Muskegon, The Ann Arbor Center for Independent Living (AACIL) and the Economic Opportunity Center of St. Clair County were not selected to move forward during the peer and staff review. AACIL staff did appeal the decision, but upon discussion of both peer and staff feedback, decided not to revise and resubmit the application. Battle Creek Public Schools' application was recommended forward with revisions by both the Peer and Staff Review; however, the applicant determined that they would be unable to manage the program according to MCSC Policies and Procedures especially as they pertain to staffmg and match, and subsequently dropped out of the process. The remaining 10 applications were approved to move forward in the process. This included two new applicants,·Ingham County Health Department (Power of We Consortium) and the Literacy Center of West Michigan. Marsha Smith Rotary Charities of Traverse City Joseph Sowmick Saginaw Chippewa Indian Tribe of Michigan Alphonso Swain Capitol Area Center for Independent Living Larry Williamson Comcast Cable Five applications were selected to be submitted to CNCS for competitive funding consideration: Red Cross of Greater Grand Rapids, Michigan Coalition Against Homelessness, Regents of the University ofMichigan, Habitat for Humanity �Michigan, and the Power of We Consortium. We were pleased to receive notification that not only was the Red Cross ArneriCorps Program selected for another three years of competitive funding ($420,297) but also received an expansion of 9 full-time members per year. In addition, the Michigan Coalition Against Homelessness was awarded $259,134 in competitive funding for 20 full-time members. Total competitive funding, including both new and continuing programs, increased $235,765-from $1,955,818 in 2008-09 to $2,191,583 in 2009-10. We are pleased to be able to fund the remaining two new and six recompete programs, in addition to five continuing programs, out of our 2009-10 formula allotment of $2,626,360.

Video projects will be launched during Learn and Serve Challenge week October 5-11, 2009. Learn and Serve- Michigan 2009-2010 Grant Outreach The MCSC issued competitive application guidelines for the 2009-2010 Learn and Serve- Michigan program on March 3, 2009. The staff conducted two face-to-face outreach session and one phone conference involving more than 50 individuals. The sessions included an introduction to service-learning, an overview of the application guidelines and tips for completing the application. We received applications from 25 school districts or public school academies by the April 30th deadline. The applications were reviewed through peer and staff reviews in May. The staff is recommending 20 ofthe applicants for funding for a total of$361,338.75. A three-day grantee orientation and training is planned for September 2009. Program Visits Since March, the Learn and Serve - Michigan staff visited ten Learn and Serve - Michigan grantee sites. The site visits ensure that programs are compliant and developing according to schedule. All Learn and Serve Michigan grantees are provided guidance on using our program sustainability rubric. The rubric is a roadmap for institutionalizing their programs beyond the grant. It emphasizes vision, quality programming, training, organizational capacity, teaching/learning and evaluation/accountability. It is evident that the majority of programs are using the rubric to guide their work. Several of our grantees who are in their final year of the program have aggressive growth plans in place and have identified local sources of funds to continue their work. This is a major achievement in budget challenged school districts. �Learn and Serve VISTA The MCSC will play host to a Learn and Serve VISTA beginning in July. The VISTA will concentrate her efforts on cultivating and supporting service-learning in high poverty areas in the state. The candidate, who will attend Pre Service Orientation in July, has extensive experience in Detroit Public Schools and will likely spend the majority of her efforts in Detroit. This VISTA allows us the additional support needed to more actively engage schools in high poverty areas. Northern Michigan Curriculum Connections Training On April 15, 2009 the MCSC hosted full-day training on connecting service to the curriculum in Gaylord, Michigan. The 41 participants were from Learn and Serve -Michigan programs and other area schools. Our presenter, Deb Wagner from Ionia lSD provided grantees instruction in the essentials of service-learning and then guided participants in establishing links between service and their classroom curriculum. Each participant received a year long subscription to Task Stream, an online curriculum development tool. This training assisted the MCSC in supporting educators who do not currently benefit from Learn and Serve - Michigan funds . The training was also helpful in providing high quality training for our fairly new programs in Northern Michigan. Coming Up On June 17-18, 2009 the MCSC will host a two-day symposium on program sustainability. Dr. Shelly Billig will work with 40 grantees on their short and long-term goals for service-learning programming in their districts. Planning for the September Learn and Serve - Michigan grantee meeting begins this summer. Approximately 40 individuals will attend this three day meeting that is designed to help programs have a strong start to the school year. Learn and Serve - Michigan is pleased to be sponsoring the second annual Service and Leadership Camp. The Super Servers: Taking on the Challenge ofService camp is coordinated by the LEAGUE Michigan and will be held July 24-261h at Central Michigan University. More than 100 students from across the state will attend this event that emphasizes youth leadership and advocacy for service. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

The nonprofit community provides many services that act as a safety net during a recession and is an important economic engine in tough times, collectively providing approximately 440,000 jobs in Michigan while generating an additional 161,000 jobs as a result of the sector's spending. T Giving and volunteering are vital components of the ability of charities to successfully serve Michigan residents. Charities are seeing the demand for their services grow, leading them to rely even more heavily on individual giving and volunteering. Nationally, individuals contributed $306.39 billion to charities in 2007 (Giving USA 2008). Charities could not operate without the support of individuals. Critical to an individual 's decision to support a charity is their perception of the sector as a whole. This past year has been a difficult time for charities, with 50 percent reporting decreases in revenue (individual giving, foundations, government and corporate support) and 70 percent reporting increases in demand. Although the rates of giving have remained the same, it should be noted that many charities are reporting that the size of donations has decreased (Michigan Nonprofits Struggle with Economic Downturn, MNA/GVSU 2008 Web site: www.mnaonline.org/mnrp. asp). The following are the results of a survey conducted in 2009 to better understand Michigan residents' 2008 charitable giving and volunteering and their perception of charities. Executive Summary Findings from the survey include: • Almost nine out of ten people (87.3%) made a contribution to charity in the previous year*. • Nearly 50 percent of the adult population volunteered in 2008. Women (55.1 %) were more likely to volunteer than men (42.8%). These results demonstrate a growing gap between the volunteer ra tes of men and women. • Nearly 95% of respondents said the need for charities is greater today than in the past. • Nine out of ten Michigan residents believe that charities should retain their tax exemptions. In Spring 2009, 1,001 Michigan residents were asked about their experiences with charitable giving and volunteering during the previous year. The survey continues a tradition of asking Michigan residents about their relationship with the state's nonprofit sector. The survey was conducted by the Institute for Public Policy and Social Research at Michigan State University between january and March of 2009 as part of the quarterly State of the State Survey (SOSS) series. Giving in Michigan A survey of Michigan residents found that almost nine out of ten people (87.3%) had made a contribution to charity in the previous year. The percentage of women giving decreased from last year to 86.6%, making men (88 .0%) slightly more likely to donate. *Although rates of giving are similar to the past four years, many charities are reporting that the size of donations has decreased. Giving varies by age, with the age groups most likely to make a contribution being 60-64 years (96 .2%), 50-59 years (93.5%), 40-49 years (89.1%), 65+ (86.1 %) and 30-39 years (86.1 %) . Giving rates for younger people are high, with more than four out of five making contributions. Giving rates varied across the state, from southwest Michigan (76.8%) and Detroit (77.6%) to west central Michigan (89.5%), the Northern Lower Pen insula (91.1 %), and the Upper Peninsula (93.5%). �Charitable Contributions in Michigan 2001-2008, %Contributing by Gender Total Female Male 70 65 2008 80 75 • 2006 • 2005 • 2004 90 85 • 2003 • 2002 • 95 2001 Volunteering in Michigan Volunteering continues to be an important element in the lives of Michigan residents, with rates in this survey showing that 49.2% of the adult population volunteered in 2008 . Women (55 .1%) were more likely to volunteer than men (42.8%). These results demonstrate a growing gap between the volunteer rates of men and women. Volunteering changes during an individual's life. Age groups with above average volunteering rates (the average rate being 49.2%) include 18-24 years (53.2%), 30-39 years (51.0%), 50-59 years (50 .0%), 60-64 years (62.3%) and 65+ (49.7%). Lower rates of volunteering occur for age groups 25-29 (38.6%) and 40-49 (44.5%). When asked about their level of volunteering compared to the previous year, more than a quarter of respondents (29.6%) said they plan to volunteer more in the coming year; 61 .1% said they are planning to maintain the same level of volunteering as last year; and 9.3% said they were planning to volunteer less. Volunteering rates increased with education, ranging from high school graduates (44.3%) to college graduates (52.4%), some post graduate education (60.0%), and those with a graduate degree (64.9%). The most common reason for volunteering less was being too busy (49.2%), followed by health reasons (29.4%) and financial reasons (6 .8%) . Volunteering rates across Michigan ranged from high levels in west central Michigan (54.2%), east central Michigan (52.9%) and in the Northern Lower Peninsula (52 .6%), to lower rates in Detroit (41.4%). �Volunteering in Michigan 2001-2008, %Volunteering by Gender Total Female Male 0 10 2008 20 • 2006 • 30 2005 • 2004 40 • 2003 50 • 2002 60 • 200 I 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 sector in Michigan is strongly supported and trusted, with charitable organizations seen as an important factor in individual well-being. Charitable organizations are widely seen as being effective, with 74% of respondents agreeing strongly (22. 7 %) or somewhat (51.3%) that charities are more effective today than five years ago. About a quarter of respondents somewhat (18.4%) or strongly (7.6%) disagreed with the statement. Charities are also seen as important to community quality of life, with over 87% of Michigan respondents agreeing strongly (45.6%) or somewhat (41.6%) that charities improve their communities, while there was some disagreement (8 .3%) or strong disagreement (4 .4%). More than four out of five Michigan residents agree that charitable organizations are honest and ethical. Sentiment ranged from strongly agree (27. 2 %) and somewhat agree (56. 9 %) to somewhat disagree (11.1 %) or strongly disagree (4 .8%). The need for charities today compared to the past is strongly felt, with almost 95% of respondents agreeing strongly (57.1 %) or somewhat (37.6%) with this sentiment. Disagreement was noted as somewhat (4.3 %) or strong (1.0%). For the first time the survey asked respondents whether charitable organizations should be exempt from paying certain taxes. More than nine out of ten Michigan residents (91.5%) felt that charities should retain their tax exempt status. Less than 10% of people felt that charities should pay taxes.

Review Executive Committee minutes from March 27, May 14, and June 9, 2009 meetings. Chairman Mulhern asked for a motion to approve the minutes from the Executive Committee meetings. Commissioner Parker moved to approve the minutes; Commissioner Niester seconded the motion. The motion passed unanimously. IV. New Business A. Transition Discussion 1. Mentor Michigan Sustainability Taskforce- Ms. VanDam explained that the taskforce is made up of Commissioners, mentoring organizations, and funders. The taskforce has met twice and have established three clear recommendations: 1) Mentor Michigan should remain a program of the MCSC. Long term it is the right fit for the MCSC as Mentor Michigan has received a lot of support through the organization. 2) Mentor Michigan needs dedicated leadership within the MCSC and therefore an Executive Director position should be created. With the passage of the Serve America Act, the MCSC leadership will need to be focused on its implementation and will not have the time needed to dedicate to Mentor Michigan. 3) Mentor Michigan needs to develop a strategic plan with a budget and funding sources to support the plan. It is also important to look for sustained funding to support the work of Mentor Michigan. The Taskforce recommends hiring a consultant to lead the strategic planning process. The goal is to unveil the plan in November at the state mentoring conference. Chairman Mulhern asked for a motion to approve the Taskforce recommendations. Commissioner Collier made a motion to support the recommendations. Commissioner Lawson seconded the motion. The motion passed unanimously. There was discussion around the recommendation of leaving Mentor Michigan at the MCSC rather than creating a separate nonprofit. We run the risk that mentoring may not be a priority of the next administration and also fundraising could be more difficult when you are asking them to support a state agency. The Taskforce felt that due to the economic situation, 2 �fmancially it would not be viable to create a new nonprofit organization. Mentor Michigan has been fortunate to receive foundation grants and corporate donations to support Mentor Michigan which have been deposited into a fund at the local community foundation. Because of this, these organizations don't feel like they are giving to a government agency. This has given us flexibility to support and administer Mentor Michigan. Also the feedback from the field is that there is credibility with the program located within the Commission. The bipartisan history of the Commission has also been a key factor of support of Mentor Michigan. Ms. VanDam shared there is not a designated line item in the state budget to support Mentor Michigan so from that perspective we wouldn't be a target for the new administration. Currently, the only state dollars that have supported Mentor Michigan is the amount Commissioners have allocated from the Volunteer Investment Grants ($50,000) to support the staffmg of Mentor Michigan. Fundraising will be needed as we have other obligations and staff that are supported through Mentor Michigan. There is not currently an annual budget for Mentor Michigan but Ms. VanDam stated that a budget will be drafted as part of the new strategic plan that will outline the staff financial obligations. Commissioner Collier shared that Gail Manza was complimentary of the partnership of Mentor Michigan and the Commission and one that we should continue. Her discussion ofthe different state models was helpful and showed that those organizations that are aligned with their state commission have been most successful. Ms. VanDam explained that there may be funds available through the Serve America Act!V olunteer Generation Funds that may support the mentoring partnerships and we may be able to designate some of those funds to support Mentor Michigan. Chairman Mulhern stated that two things that are going to make this successful are a high quality executive director that will drive the work and a solid fundraising plan. Ms. VanDam explained that when Mentor Michigan began, Dan Mulhern and Mentor Michigan held regional meetings to assess the needs of mento ring organizations and asked how Mentor Michigan could add value to them. A work plan and guidelines were developed based on their feedback. With the economic situation Michigan currently is experiencing, the timing of the strategic plan is critical and it is a good time to re-evaluate how Mentor Michigan adds value to the mentoring programs. Commissioner Mawby asked if a group will be put together to develop the strategic plan and if so, it will be important to get the field involved in creating the plan to gain their support. 2. Transition Planning Committee- Commissioner Jewell shared that the committee drafted a strategy template to address short, mid and long term goals. The committee has discussed two key areas to move the organization forward; repositioning the organization to bring it into alignment with the Serve America Act and proposing a name change for the organization. Ms. VanDam explained that we can use the passage ofthe Serve America Act to take the work of the Commission to the next level and expand the culture of service. Especially at a time when we are struggling as a state economically, service can be used as a strategy to address the needs. We have an opportunity to use this to help the Commission be viewed as a vital piece of 3 �what is happening in the state which will help us with a transition to a new administration. With the passage of the Serve America Act, we need to create a new three year plan for service and how we will grow that and for the first time, it will need to be approved by the Governor. This is a great time for us to take a leadership role to bring organizations together to create a plan for Michigan. Commissioner Collier asked if other states have been going through transitions or name changes. Ms. VanDam said that in the last 2-3 years several states have gone through name changes to more align themselves with the work they do. Chairman Mulhern asked what the committee sees as accomplishing as an end result from the repositioning proposal. Commissioner Jewell stated that the committee is looking for someone to facilitate the committee and to use this opportunity to raise awareness of what the Commission is doing. Ms. VanDam believes that the creation of the plan, if done in the right way, helps position the state for receiving the Serve America Act resources. There's going to be funding opportunities that are going to come from this Act and in some cases the Commission will be the best organization to apply for those funds. This gives us a great opportunity to have a plan that can be used to leverage those resources. Commissioner Jewell said that the messaging will be key with the transition. We can talk about the impact that volunteers and service has on the economy. Commissioner Parker wants us to make sure we facilitate the recognition of those organizations that are doing the work and that it doesn't become just about us. Commissioner Lawson wants to make sure we have everyone at the table (United Way, 211) when we have the discussions. Diana Algra shared that the work done at the local level sometimes needs a push from the state level and sees the role of the Commission should focus on getting all citizens engaged in service and giving back to their communities. The local communities don't have the resources and they need the help of the state organization to be the champion. Commissioner Mawby asked what the process would be for a name change. Ms. VanDam explained that the Governor's Office stated that changing of the name would take an Executive Order from the Governor. The Senate would have 60 days to deny it and if they don't, it goes into effect. Chairman Mulhern asked for a motion to support the following statement: The Commission would develop a repositioning plan to align our service to national goals to assure the highest caliber work and best reputation in the country to fulftll our mission and support volunteer organizations to create a culture of service. Commissioner Parker made a motion to support this statement with the additional statement added to support volunteer organizations. Commissioner Collier seconded the motion. The motion carried unanimously. The implementation for the repositioning plan will include the creation of the committee to draft the plan. The committee will include Commissioners Lawson, Bloodworth, Parker, Betley. 4 �Chairman Mulhern asked for a motion that an acceptable name would be brought to the next meeting for approval from Commissioners. Commissioner Parker asked whether we are definitely going to change the name, will they come with recommendations, or will there be recommendations but we have the option of keeping the same name? Chairman Mulhern said that once we review the recommendations, there would still be the option to keep the same name. Commissioner Lawson asked whether we should change the name prior to a new administration and then have the new Governor want to rename the organization. The rebranding may also appeal to the campaign. Commissioner Bloodworth sees the merits of both sides but feels that we need to be careful and that we stay focused on our mission and hope that politics don't play such a significant part and that it would be dangerous to let them determine our direction. Commissioner Niester made a motion to approve the recommendation to bring possible name changes to the next board meeting. Commissioner Bloodworth seconded the motion. The motion passed unanimously. 3. Succession Planning Committee- Commissioner Lawson gave an update on the tasks of the Committee. One task was to find a replacement for the Executive Director, of which Paula Kaiser VanDam was named. The other task was to replace the chair of the Commission. Vern Davis Anthony had agreed to serve as chair and was appointed to the Commission in February. Due to other commitments, she has chosen not to serve as chair. There was a conversation with Ken Whipple with CMS Energy to gauge his interest in serving as chair during the transition. Due to his limited time commitment because he serves on many other boards, he declined but stated he will offer names as options. Chairman Mulhern asked Commissioners if they had any names they would like the Committee to consider to please forward them to Commissioner Lawson. 4. Board Development Committee- Commissioner Bloodworth explained that the Committee will be looking at those Commissioners whose terms are up this year to see if they are interested in serving another term. New Commissioners will be recruited that can help through the transition. V. Executive Director Report- Paula Kaiser VanDam _ A. Ameri Corps 1. AmeriCorps Formula Funding- Marcy Bishop Kates gave an overview of AmeriCorps competitive and formula funding (see memo from Marcy Bishop Kates and Jeanine Yard dated June 18, 2009). The MCSC conducted an open application for the 2009-1 0 funding. Fourteen organizations applied for funding which included one current competitively funded program, eight current formula funded programs, and five new applicant organizations. Five additional current programs applied for continuation funding. During the review process, ten applications were approved to move forward for funding including two new applicants, Ingham County Health Department (Power of We Consortium) and the Literacy Center of West Michigan. Three of the applications were not 5 �selected to move forward during peer and staff review. One applicant, Battle Creek Public School, was recommended forward with revisions but the applicant determined they would be unable to manage the program and dropped out of the process. The MCSC will fund two new, six recompete, and five continuing programs out of the 2009-10 formula allotment of$2,626,360. Commissioner Parker asked whether there is something we need to look at in relationship to the difficulties or challenges some organizations have in applying for AmeriCorps funds. The need is there but they don't qualifY due to different factors. Ms. VanDam has the same concern. With the expansion of AmeriCorps through the Serve America Act and due to the state's economy and nonprofit funding needs, we may be challenged to expand because organizations simply won' t have the match fund money. Through discussions with the Corporation, there is a match waiver policy. As we go through the next funding outreach we will be pushing that policy. In the past, the board has been conservative about giving match waivers for AmeriCorps funds. During these economic times we will need to reconsider this and look at how we can make it more viable. Ms. VanDam stated that due to the economic struggles of nonprofits, there has been an increase in interest in hosting AmeriCorps members. We are receiving calls weekly from nonprofits asking how they can get AmeriCorps members. Commissioner Collier suggested that we clearly want to capture every opportunity and if there are issues related to match or capacity, let Commissioners know so that they can help so that we don' t leave any opportunity untouched. Chairman Mulhern asked for a motion to support the staff recommendations for the formula funding. Commissioner Bloodworth made a motion to support staff recommendations. Commissioner Swain seconded the motion. The motion passed unanimously. 2. AmeriCorps Funding Overview - Ms. VanDam explained that Commissioners have a chart in their packet outlining the 2009-10 AmeriCorps funding including formula, competitive and ARRA. In total the MCSC will have 1,117 AmeriCorps members serving next year and more than $7.3 million in funding. The ARRA funds could only go to existing grantees to fund additional AmeriCorps member slots or for match replacement funding. 3. AmeriCorps Program Update- Jeanine Yard gave an overview of the ARRA and Competitive funding. She also shared that AmeriCorps week took place in May. The MCSC incorporated the Russ Mawby Signature Service Project into AmeriCorps week. AmeriCorps programs planned projects in their communities (see AmeriCorps week recap for community projects). The Russ Mawby Signature Service Project was the official closing event for national AmeriCorps Week with Julie Fisher Cummings, a CNCS board member, giving remarks during the closing ceremony. More than 250 members participated in the event which took place in Grand Traverse neighborhood in Flint. The Commission will be receiving five new AmeriCorps*VISTA's; one will focus on the inclusion efforts to help engage individuals with disabilities in service, one will focus on cross-stream activities to help coordinate the communication between national 6 �service programs in Michigan and will help support the advisory committee of national service folks; and one will work with the Learn & Serve program. Two VISTA's will be working with Mentor Michigan. B. Learn and Serve- Paula Kaiser VanDam 1. Learn & Serve School-based Funding- The MCSC offers three categories of school-based grants- planning, implementation and institutionalization. We received applications from 25 school districts or public school academies and staff is recommending 20 of the applicants for funding for a total of$361,339. Chairman Mulhern asked for a motion to approve staff recommendations for the Learn and Serve- Michigan school-based grants. Commissioner Parker made a motion to support the staff recommendations. Commissioner Niester seconded the motion. The motion passed unanimously. Commissioner Lawson stated that metropolitan Detroit is absent from funding and asked what could be done about it. Ms. VanDam shared that the MCSC has been given a VISTA that will be assigned to Learn & Serve and will focus on the Detroit area. The VISTA has worked for DPS and helped to write the DPS grant this year. She will work in the Detroit area several days a week. There has been discussions with City Year on a dropout model they are interested in receiving additional ArneriCorps funding for and we have asked them to have servicelearning incorporated into that model. Commissioner Lawson suggested having a conversation with Skillman around their five communities and also conversation with the United Way in SE Michigan to see where they could help with getting service-learning into the Detroit area schools. Commissioner Lawson and Collier will help facilitate the conversation. Chairman Mulhern commended the staff for their efforts to get service-learning into the Detroit area schools. 2. Learn and Serve Update- Ms. VanDam shared that the MCSC received a small grant from CNCS to focus on social media efforts. We awarded web 2.0 social media grants to promote service-learning and online learning communities. The Service-Learning Youth Council (SL YC) has nine members and met on March 7 for a day of orientation and training. They will create service-learning outreach strategies. We are partnering with Kari Pardoe to connect our SL YC members with her youth for a summer camp. Commissioner Collier suggested that the SLYC members should be invited to a MCSC meeting. Due to the fact that they are students, we wouldn't be able to get all the members to a meeting but may be able to get 2 or 3 members. C. Mentor Michigan Update- Amber Reiss shared that Meijer has agreed to participate again this year in the Father's Day gift card promotion where $2 for every $25 gift card sold on Saturday, June 20th will be donated to Mentor Michigan. The proceeds will be granted out to mentoring programs across the state in mini-grants. Ms. Reiss also shared that there have been several federal funding opportunities over the past few months for mentoring programs. Mentor !vfichigan hosted six conference calls to 7 �provide support and answer questions about guidelines to help programs determine if they would qualify. Mentor Michigan applied for a grant through OJJDP with the MSU Extension Journey 4-H Youth Mentoring programs in Muskegon and Ottawa counties. This grant would provide mentoring relationships for youth in the juvenile justice system in a structured manner. D. Volunteer Investment Grants- Paula Kaiser VanDam informed Commissioners that the Executive Order issued to balance the FY09 state budget included the reduction of the VIG by $50,000. To recoup those funds it was decided that the grants would end three months early (ending June 30, 2009). In addition we were informed that VIG would be reduced by $200,000 for FY10. Ms. VanDam made a plea to the DHS director explaining why these resources were so vital at this time and received notification that VIG would only receive a $50,000 reduction. E. Governor's Service Awards- Janice Harvey shared that fundraising efforts for 2009 Governor's Service Awards were successful and that we raised $127,500. Thanks to Commissioners for their support and efforts in helping to raise the funds . An overview of the proceeds from the 2008 event were reviewed and staff recommended that the remainder of the proceeds be distributed as follows: $48,592 to the Mentor Michigan fund to support the strategic planning and hiring of an interim executive director and $20,000 to the Commission Development fund for implementation of the transition plan and development of State Service Plan. Chairman Mulhern asked for a motion to approve staff recommendations for the 2008 Governor's Service Awards proceeds. Commissioner Smith made a motion to support the recommendations. Commissioner Kwak seconded the motion. Commissioner Parker suggested that some of the proceeds may be used to help with match funds or a direct contribution to a program to help support their programming. Chairman Mulhern asked if there was room to build in flexibility for granting out funds to programs. Ms. VanDam agreed and also stated that we will have the proceeds from the 2009 GSA. Chairman Mulhern amended his motion to support the recommendation but to also look for ways to push the money out to the programs. The motion passed unanimously. Chairman Mulhern thanked Commissioners for their help in raising the funds. F. National Service Update - Paula Kaiser VanDam 1. Serve America Act - Ms. VanDam gave an overview of the Serve America Act. The passage of this Act is the largest expansion of national service programing in decades. Not only is it going to increase some of the existing programs of the .Corporation but will create new grant opportunities. The Act establishes a summer of service program where disadvantage youth can earn $500 education awards, it creates a youth engagement zone to engage secondary school students in service, as well as a semester of service in high school, and it expands AmeriCorps from 75,000 members to 250,000 members a year between now and 2017. The education awards will be increased to $5,350 from $4,725 and members over the age of 55 can transfer their education awards . All of the programs with the Serve America Act take effect October 1st. The Act will authorize the Social Innovation Fund ($50 million) which will allow us to 8 �leverage private sector funds to help address big social issues. It also creates the Volunteer Generation Fund which will help with volunteer infrastructure. It was authorized in the legislation at $50 million in the first year with $25 million going to state commissions on a formula basis and $25 million in competitive funds for state commissions and national and local nonprofits. It also establishes a nonprofit capacity building program and will streamline program management, cost-effectiveness and accountability. 2. FY2010 CNCS Budget- Ms. VanDam went through the CNCS budget summary for the FY20 10 budget. The State Commission Admin Grants are awarded to administer primarily AmeriCorps but we have flexibility on how we spend that money. The money is awarded on population (usually around $320,000 to $400,000). With the passage of the Serve America Act, the state commission association fought for an increase in this funding given the new responsibilities that will be required due to the Act. The minimum and the maximum amount increased but there was no language about growing the overall admin appropriation (the minimum went from $125,000 to $250,000 and the maximum went from $750,000 to $1 million). So ifthe appropriation doesn't grow, states (like Michigan) that were getting more than the minimum will not get an increase. 3. CNCS Update- The President has decided to remove the Inspector General from his position. We had an IG investigation into one of our AmeriCorps programs. We are hopeful with the change in IG's that the investigation will end. 4. Congressional Visits- Ms. VanDam visited several Congressional members' district offices. Some Commissioners and grantees joined her for the meetings. 5. United We Serve- The President and First Lady will be launching a summer initiative on Monday, June 22. The Governor and First Gentleman will also launch the initiative on Monday with events in Battle Creek and Saginaw. It is an 81-day service campaign focused on recruiting volunteers around economic recovery issues. They are asking people to register volunteer opportunities and service projects at serve.gov. The MCSC will be giving out Presidential Volunteer Service Awards this summer to those that qualify. Commissioners would like the MCSC staff to draft an editorial for Commissioners to send in to their local papers. G. Financial Report- Garry Gross outlined the financial statement presented to Commissioners. VI. Partner Update- Diana Algra distributed the Snapshot on Giving & Volunteering in Michigan and the Economic Benefits of Michigan's Nonprofit Sector. She announced that Amy Smitter, Executive Director of Michigan Campus Compact, will be leaving the organization. Jackie Taylor will be the interim executive director. VII. Public Comment - Kyle Caldwell announced that Commissioner Bloodworth will serve on the MNA Board of Directors. 9 �Evan Albert shared that the CNCS State Office has benefitted through the ARRA funds with an increase in AmeriCorps*VISTA members (from 30-35 members to 95 new members) and gave an overview of their new projects.
