One hundred and thirty six mentoring organizations operating 213 distinct programs report that they have matched 28,393 children with a mentor during the last year. This represents the largest number of children having mentors in the state 's history, though just slightly more than were counted last year. • With 220 organizations in the Mentor Michigan Registry, this survey achieved a 62% response rate. This is the highest ever recorded for the MMC. As there are organizations that did not report, it is reasonable to estimate that there are more than 35,000 mentoring relationships in the state of Michigan in 2007. • Wave V of the MMC documents 20,603 active mentors. Similar to above, this is the largest number of mentors ever counted in the state of Michigan. It compares to 16,382 mentors counted last wave , an increase of 4,221 new active mentors, continuing the steady jncreases observed during each wave of the MMC. Number of Active Mentors Wave I vs. Wave II vs. Wave Ill vs. Wave IV vs. Wave V Wave I 10,546 Wave II Wave Ill 20,603 WaveV 0 • 5,000 10,000 15,000 20,000 25,000 Measuring another way confirms that the number of mentoring relationships in Michigan is growing. The table below shows that 51% of mentoring organizations report an increase while only 15% report a decrease in number of children matched. Among those organizations reporting an increase, in aggregate, the number matched with a mentor has increased by 3,910 since one year ago. Among those reporting a decrease , the aggregate number of matches is down 1,078. This yields a net change of 2,832 additional children matched with mentor since last year at this time . Kahle Research Solutions Page 1 �Mentor Michigan Census Wave V: Executive Summary • The number of inquiries to become a mentor received by Michigan's mentoring organizations is down slightly after last year's all time high . This year, there were more than 15,000 inquiries compared to about 17,000 inquiries that were counted during Wave IV. Yet, more of these are serious inquires leading to written applications. More than 9,000 written applications were received this year, compared to 8,000 last year. The data below shows the monthly averages of inquires and written applications received over the five census waves. Mentor Inquiries and Applications Monthly Averages: Wave I vs. Wave II vs. Wave Ill vs. Wave IV vs. Wave V 1~0 ~--------------------------- 1460 ____________~ •Inquiries 0 Applications 1/1/04-8/31 /04 1/1/04-12/31 /04 1/1/05-8/31 /05 Wave I Wave II Wave Ill 9/1/05-8/31 /06 9/1/06-8/31 /07 Wave IV WaveV Screening • Many mentoring organizations have improved their screening procedures. This year, slightly more organizations are conducting federal criminal background checks (33% compared to 27% last wave) . Similarly, more organizations are using the sex offender registry, child abuse registry, conducting personal character reference checks , checking employment references and conducting home visits and home assessments. Still 3% report that they do none of these to screen mentors. Mentor Demographics • For the first time, this year's MMC shows a substantial increase in the number of boys , especially African-American boys, being mentored. This is, in part, a result of more male mentors being recruited and more cross-race matching . Waiting Lists • There are nearly 3,500 hundred children on waiting lists to be matched with a mentor and more than 1,800 mentors on waiting lists to be matched with a child . Assuming same gender matching , more than 1,000 male mentors need to be recruited to befriend boys currently on waiting lists, more than half of these men of color (assuming same race matching). Kahle Research Solutions Page 2 �Mentor Michigan Census, Wave V Key Insights and Process Recommendations Key Insights • The overall number of mentors increased substantially, but the number of children served stayed about the same compared to last year. More one to one mentoring, changes in the organizations responding to the census, and more emphasis placed on counting mentors (rather than children served) all likely contribute to this apparent anomaly. • Recruitment efficiency has improved, but the number of inquiries is down from last year. Success in the recruitment of men and people of color is starting to appear in the census numbers as we see increases in both male mentors and African-American mentors. Yet, recruitment efficiency is poorest in Southeast Michigan where the need for more mentors is greatest. • There is substantial geographic mismatch and a lack of coordination among oth mentors and children -on waiting lists mentoring programs, as there are-b_ in every region in the state. Mismatches appear to be greatest in MidMichigan and Southeast Michigan. • Growth in mentoring relationships and organizational capacity is greatest in the Grand Rapids/Muskegon and Flint/Saginaw areas. Southeast Michigan, especially the tri-county continues to under perform in terms of growth in mentoring relationships and capacity. For the population center of the state, coordination and collaboration is not nearly as good as it needs to be. • Use of screening tools remains strong as 8 out of 10 organizations perform state criminal background checks and 33% conduct federal criminal background checks. Substantial numbers of programs are requiring written applications and conducting personal reference checks. Still, 3% of organizations report that they do none of the above. • Measures of program duration and intensity show some improvement. Programs having no minimum time for the mentoring relations dropped and those requiring a minimum duration of 12 months increased substantially. The message about the potential negative consequences of short term mentoring appears to be getting through. • Satisfaction with Mentor Michigan remains strong as 85% report they are very or somewhat satisfied. A small percentage (5%) report being not very or not at all satisfied with MM. Awareness of the Quality Program Standards is high as is use of the self-assessment tool. Kahle Research Solutions Inc 12/3/07 �Mentor Michigan Census, Wave V Key Insights and Process Recommendations Process Recommendations 1. Place emphasis on enhancing mentoring capacity and institutionalizing mentoring as a key part of the missions of schools. non-profit and faith-based organizations. a. Work with board members and school officials to put in place the leadership and ongoirtg .fundinQ str~am? to support mentorinq over the long term . b. Support board training, board member recruitment and le.adership succession planning to institutionalize mentoring for generations to come. c. Turnover of mentoring program leaders is an issue that detracts from building mentoring capacity for the future. Perhaps MM can help address the negative consequences of high turnover through new leader orientations, supporting leadership me+~toring, job banks and/or candidate referrals. d. Colleges and University's can play key roles in operating and/or supporting mentoring programs. Seek to support and encourage formal integration of mentoring programs into higher education institutions throughout the state. Perhaps form a collaborative among those Universities operating mentoring programs. e. Mentoring organizations still want/need support especially in three key areas: i. Mentor Recruitment ii. Mentor Recognition, Support, Retention iii. Evaluation 2. School-based programs appear more efficient in recruitment and more consistent in mentoring intensity and duration. Consider methods of growing mentoring programs and institutionalizing mentoring programs specific to schools (K-12). 3. Continue with emphasis on recruiting men and people of color. Balance these efforts with an emphasis placed on the number and quality of services provided to children. 4. Coordination among mentoring programs in the same geographic area is key to solving the mismatch problems. Seek to develop methods and incentives for closer collaboration among programs and sharing of mentors. Clarity in mission and targets for type of children to serve can help to address the mismatch issues.

The Solutions Summit was a one-day event designed to deeply explore environmental issues and the ways service-learning can be applied as a solution . More than 30 people attended the event on the 6th and the evaluations indicated that the participants enjoyed the format. Inclement weather force the closing of Central Michigan University on the evening of February 6th forcing Michigan Campus Compact staff to find alternate activities for the approximately 125 individuals who managed to get to Mt. Pleasant. Between the hours of 9:00p .m. and midnight the staff created a makeshift agenda and contracted with a hotel to offer space and meals for February 7-8 . Daniel Mulhern and Paul Loeb , author of Soul of a Citizen and The Impossible Will Take a Little While offered keynote addresses. Despite the weather, reduced participation numbers and complete upheaval of the agenda , we received lots of praise for the care we provided to participants , the exceptional keynote speakers and the overall quality of the content.

Last year (2007) we raised $185,000 (gross) and netted approximately $100,000. The money we netted we offered in the form of grants and/or cash awards to programs we monitor. A lot of the funding went to urban-surface learning initiatives. Janet Lawson suggested several years ago that we make GSA a special event but it takes a lot of work. What if we did something like this intimate event here at the Governor' s residence o I.e. a family celebration/backyard BBQ o Donors/sponsors would be invited as well o Offer a bigger, more lengthy video presentation How does that work for you? Carolyn Bloodworth - CMS Energy/Consumers Energy I like the event at the Fox Theater, but if we can free up more money to go to programs, as a sponsor I'd rather see that. Chris Kwak- W.K. Kellogg Foundation I understand the financial situation but have we gotten feedback from the GSA attendees and how they feel about the event? Kat Robinson - MCSC Staff They think it is an awesome event and they love the recognition. They also like that it's an opportunity for them to bring lots of family. Allnie Morgan -Tuesday Toolmen The event at the Fox Theater was wonderful, it gave our recipients the opportunity to say, "I'm on stage with the Governor." Anton Chastang- Henry Ford Health System Marketing Department I think it would be nice to host an event here and receive a personal invite to the Governor's residence. Larry Williamson - Comcast I like both ideas. I think the intimacy is nice at the Governor's residence. We could get more involved in using clips (from DVDs) to get the message out there. Perhaps there are things Comcast could help with - Video On-Demand (digital product). �Bill Kordenbrock- EDS Having it at the Fox Theater is a great marquee event. But you'll get hits about GSA throughout the year by spreading the money out and providing it to programs. Scott Burgess- Blue Cross Blue Shield, Accident Company of America?? Having the event at the Fox Theater is nice and the recognition of sponsorship is just icing on the cake. These events only have so long of a shelf life so I think it's nice to mix it up . Marvin Beatty- Greektown Casino The beauty of the event is a product/end result. Real value might be getting invited to the Governor s residence. Winston Feeheley- DTE Utilize your money by having the event at the Governor's residence. Scott Aldrich- Tuesday Toolmen I'd like to see more localization; the video could help with that. Joseph Sowmick- Saginaw Chippewa Indian Tribe of Michigan We have to look at financials and logistics. If the event is in the center of the state you gain more excitement. Acts from the Soaring Eagle Casino are available. It's not a bad idea to change it up . Annie Morgan -Tuesday Toolmen What about something different like visiting cities throughout the year, all the winners of GSA do that to talk about mentoring and volunteering. Clair Branch -Tuesday Toolmen Money to different programs would be ideal. There are a lot of people we can't help because they aren't seniors. Mary Zatina- Oakwood Health Care System I love the Fox event, I would be more inclined to support this event as we've got 2,000 volunteers at Oakwood and I'd love them all to be able to be there. I couldn't bring 2,000 people to the Governor's residence. There's more hype at the Fox event. Mary Grill- MCSC Staff Maybe we could do a better job of filling seats with the help of sponsors (vo lunteers/guests). � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

The CNCS has $10 .87 million to support new competitive grants for the 2008-09 program year and approximately $45 million for continuations. This low level of funds available for new programs is due to the high numbers of expected continuation funding . The MCSC solicited applications from two Governor initiatives: the Campaign to End Homelessness and the Cities of Promise. The Corporation for Supportive Hou sing, on behalf of th e Campaign to End Homelessness, submitted an application . The MCSC staff reviewed the new application and the three continuation applications and recommend that all be included in the MCSC competitive grants application for the 2008-09 program yea r: Corporation for Supportive Housing ($263,883), Jumpstart for Young Children ($131 ,423), City Year, Inc . ($580,745), and Michigan State University ($764,008). This is a total of $1 ,740,059. �Chairman Mulhern asked for a motion to support the staff recommendations for the AmeriCorps Competitive Grants Application. Commissioner Mawby moved to support the motion and Commissioner Collier seconded the motion. The motion passed unanimously . Paul a Va nDam explained the seco nd staff recommendation for the Michigan 's Ameri Corps Educati on Award Onl y Application. The Michigan Campus Compact' s Education Award Onl y Ameri Corps program is recompeting for fundin g for the 2008-09 program year. Staff recommends funding Michigan Nonprofit Association/Michigan Campus Compact at $54 000 . They will have 450 members completin g 300 hours of service (tutoring, mentorin g, volunteer generation) through Michigan Campus Compact affi li ates. They are also workin g with pre-service teachers to prepare them for having a service-learning compo nent in their classrooms. The members receive a $ 1000 education award once they have completed their year of service. Chairman Mulhern asked for a motion to support th e staff recommendations for the AmeriCorps Education Only Application. Commissioner Collier moved to support the motion and Commissioner Parker seconded the motion. The motion passed unanimously. Approval of Michigan 's Vo lunteer Investment Grants (s ee memo dated February 5, 2008 from Paula VanDa m.) T he M ichigan ' s Volunteer Investment Grants (VIG) support volunteer infrastructure by increasing the capac ity of orga ni za tions to be better equipped to mobilize volunteers. The MCSC focus this year was designed to align with three areas outlined in MCSC Blueprint for Action: mentoring, engaging baby boomers, and engaging youth in service.

Members of the MCSC are asked to declare actual or potential conflict of interest situations at the start of each meeting where the agenda indicates such a conflict will occur. If a conflict of interest situation develops during MCSC discussion, the Commissioner with the conflict is expected to notify the Chairperson. A conflict of interest is defined as a situation where a member of the MCSC or their wife, husband, son, daughter, mother, father, brother, brother-in-law, stepbrother, sister, sisterin-law, stepsister, daughter-in-law, mother-in-law, father-in-law, son-in-law, aunt, uncle, niece, nephew, grandparents, stepparent, stepchild, or grandchild is serving or has served in the last year as a trustee, officer, director, or employee in an entity which is requesting approval of a grant from the MCSC or any other family or professional relationship which a Commissioner at his/her own discretion deems a conflict of interest. 2. Any members of the MCSC with a conflict will be called on by the Chairperson to explain the conflict. The MCSC member will then be excused by the Chairperson while other members of the MCSC discuss the application and vote its acceptance or denial as well as other grant applications under the same program. Following action on the grant request, the Commissioner may return to the MCSC work. 3. MCSC members who are unsure about a conflict of interest situation should discuss their concerns with the Chairperson prior to the meeting where the conflict might occur. 4. If this restriction creates a situation in which the MCSC does not have enough eligible voting members to achieve a quorum, the MCSC may involve the normally excluded member subject to the following conditions: a) The Chairperson will randomly and in a non-discretionary manner select the number of recused members to achieve a quorum; b) Notwithstanding the above, no MCSC member may, under any circumstances, participate in any discussions or decisions regarding a grant application submitted by an organization, which he/she is or was affiliated according to the definition above. c) If recused members are included so as to achieve a quorum, the MCSC must document the event and report it to the appropriate state, federal or private grant making entity within 30 days of the vote. �5. In addition, MCSC members are restricted from directly assisting organizations of which they are a trustee, director, officer, or employee in preparing a grant application to theMCSC. In general, the MCSC wants to err on the side of too stringently enforcing conflict of interest policies in order to assure that both the fact and the perception of any unethical conduct is avoided. I, the undersigned agree to adhere to the above policy and procedure.

K. Kellogg Foundation Lloyd Jackson Proposal to fund Goal3 of the Blueprint for Action: "Focus on the critical community needs identified at the local, state, and national levels." WJRRadio Lori Jewell State Farm Insurance Janet Lawson For FY 2008, the Michigan legislature appropriated $250,000 for funding Michigan's Volunteer Investment Grants (Michigan's VIG). Ford Motor Company Joseph Lubig Northern Michigan Universfly Russell Mawby Chair Emerflus W. K. Kellogg Foundation Susan Meston Muskegon Area Intermediate School District Donna Niester James C. Acheson Foundation Acheson Ventures Bernard Parker Wayne County Commissioner Jerry Seese Saginaw Township Communfly Schools Marsha Smith Rotary Charities of Traverse City Joseph Sowmick Saginaw Chippewa Indian Tribe of Michigan Alphonso Swain Background The Michigan's VIG was created in 1997 to strengthen the volunteer infrastructure in Michigan. While studies show that the vast majority of Michigan's nonprofit agencies depend on volunteers to provide services, many communities struggle to sustain the essential infrastructure necessary to support volunteerism. Using an endowment-building challenge, Michigan's VIG was originally designed to: create an ongoing source of funds for the participating volunteer resource centers; build a center's organizational capacity; and increase the number of citizen volunteers involved in community problem-solving. Each of the 35 agencies selected for funding between 1998 and 2004 leveraged local funds that were invested in local Community Foundation endowments. Between 1998- 2004, more than $5.8 million dollars was endowed to support the local volunteer centers in perpetuity. The endowments ranged between $12,000 and $667,000 and agencies were paid a percentage of those funds based on annual eammgs. Capflol Area Center for Independent Living Michael Thomas Saginaw County Prosecuting Attorney Larry Williamson Comcast Cable Eileen Wilson-Oyelaran Kalamazoo College State funding for the Michigan's VIG was $1 million dollars annually from 19982000. Beginning in 2001 the budget took incremental cuts leaving it at $250,000 for FY06. When the funds were cut to $250,000, it was no longer feasible to offer the endowment building challenge. In FY 2006, $200,000 of these funds were used on statewide efforts rather than through the smaller grants offered �previously. $50,000 was retained to support Mentor Michigan. For FY 2007 a moratorium on grantmaking prevent MCSC from issuing these funds. Staff Recommendation: 1. $200,000 of the Michigan's VIG be used to support sub-granting to local communities. The sub-grants will be awarded on a competitive basis to eligible 501c3 agencies, schools, or local government agencies to mobilize additional volunteers and to increase the organizational capacity to support additional volunteers. A Request for Proposals (RFP) will be issued in November. Applications will be due in January and grants will begin in March. Funding priority will be given to organizations addressing: a. Mentoring b. Mobilizing baby boomers c. Servicing disadvantaged youth including engaging them in service 2. $50,000 of the Michigan's VIG be retained to support Mentor Michigan. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

K. Kellogg Foundation Lloyd Jackson WJRRadio Lori Jewell State Farm Insurance Janet Lawson Ford Motor Company Joseph Lubig Northern Michigan University Russell Mawby Chair Emeritus W. K. Kellogg Foundation Background On September 14th, the MCSC issued a call for proposals to targeted schools in Detroit. Schools could apply for up to $10,000 to pilot service-learning projects during the remainder of the 2007-08 school year and to develop leadership for full implementation for the 2008-09 year. With the assistance of partners working in Detroit schools, we targeted four schools. The schools were selected either because they had been designated as a Skillman Foundation "Good School", they were members of The League and/or had previous ly applied for Learn and Serve - Michigan funds. Renaissance High School and the YMCA Service-Learning Academy applied by the October 31 dead line. Susan Meston Muskegon Area Intermediate School District Donna Niester James C. Acheson Foundation Acheson Ventures Bernard Parker Wayne County Commissioner Jerry Seese Renaissance High School requested $10,000 to estab lish an ongoing service-learning program to assist students in acquiring academic skills, a commitment to community engagement and leadership skills. Pilot projects engaging) 040 students will be connected to English and Math classes and will align with ~ool initiative to promote self-awareness and civic responsibility among the predominately African American students. Saginaw Township Community Schools Marsha Smith Rotary Charities of Traverse City Joseph Sowmick Saginaw Chippewa Indian Tribe of Michigan Alphonso Swain The YMCA Service-Learning Academy was established in 1998. Since that time service to community has been central to their mission . With fund ing from the MCSC, the YMCA Service-Learning Academy will strengthen the ties between their curriculum and the service in which students are engaged .

Review and Approval of September 28, 2007 Minutes - Chairman Dan Mulhern Chairman Mulhern asked for a motion to approve the minutes from the September 28, 2007 board meeting. Commissioner Williamson moved to approve the minutes, Commissioner Colaianne seconded the motion. The motion passed unanimously. III. Standing Committee Reports - Chairman Dan Mulhem The Commissioners reviewed Executive Committee meeting minutes from October 19, 2007. Discussion focused on the round table with David Eisner, replacement for Kari Pardoe on the Executive Committee, and finalizing the November 13 Board Meeting agenda. IV . Executive Director Rep01i - Musette Michael Ms. Michael thanked those Commissioners that participated in the round table discussion with David Eisner in October. Mr. Eisner recognized the positive impact the MCSC has had, and the strong commitment from the MCSC Commissioners. A. Update on Blueprint for Action I Communication Calendar - Ms. Michael exp lained that each of the MCSC program areas are working on their activities within the Blueprint for Action and will update Commissioners at the next board meeting. She also reviewed the Communication Calendar and highlighted some upcoming activities: specifically, January wruch is Michigan Mentor Month. We are planning media activities and recognition events. The Mentor Micrugan Providers Council members will be scheduling legislative visits to talk about the importance of mentoring. They will be stressing the need solidify the Mentor Michigan infrastructure through appropriations and other funding opportunities. The MCSC will be providing talking points for these visits. Commissioners will also be asked to speak with their legislators. During one-on-one visits with the Commissioners, they confirmed that they have relationships with their state legislators and would be able to make those contacts. The MCSC will provide talking points. The MCSC will also be providing the Commissioners with updated MCSC Fast Facts for their use in communicating the work of the MCSC. The Blueprint for Action and Communication Calendar will be working documents and new activities will be added on as they come up . One example is a new partnership with the Michigan National Guard to recruit new mentors. This will be announced at a Michigan National Guard meeting on January 12, 2008. Ms. Michael asked Conunissioners to look over a chart that was distributed with the different program areas that the Commissioners stated they were interested in. If there are any additional areas they are interested in, they should contact Ms. Michael. Chairman Mulhem suggested that a Commissioner line be added to the Communications Calendar to identify the roles Commissioners can play. B. Mentor Michigan - Paula VanDam Paula VanDam gave a quick overview ofMentor Michigan for the new Commissioners. When the Governor came into office she was very committed 2 �to recruiting more mentors for young people and identified the goal of recruiting 10,000 new mentors. When the First Gentleman agreed to serve as the Chair, they asked us to spearhead this mentoring initiative and to establish a strategy to recruit more mentors around the state. The MCSC began by reviewing the current state of mentoring and developing relationships with the mentoring programs. By doing this, we now have a network of approximately 200 mentoring organizations that we work with on a regular basis in helping them with recruitment of mentors, providing training and technical assistance, and developing standards for quality mentoring programs, promoting Mentor Month activities, and creating awareness around the need for mentoring. 1. Mentor Michigan Ameri Corps*VIST A Last year there were 11 Mentor Michigan VISTAs around the state with the goal to bring local mentoring organizations together to address mentoring at a community level (training mentors, planning match activities). This helped to create efficiencies across mentoring programs and increase their capacity to serve the community. We provided VISTAS to develop local mentoring collaboratives and local communitywide initiatives to support mentoring. Last year the VISTAs referred over I 000 potential new mentors to local mentoring organizations, had 142 different media contacts (radio, television, newspaper articles), leveraged almost $30,000 in cash contributions, and developed 259 new community partnerships. This year, we have been allocated an additional 15 VISTAs and will expand the focus of the program to not only address the local mentoring collaborative issues but to also expand programming around providing ment01ing for kids aging out of foster care and for kids whose parents are incarcerated. 2. Mentor Michigan Conference - Paula K. VanDam shared that the second conference was successful. The feedback from those that attended was very positive. Commissioner Sowmick suggested hosting the conference at the MSU Union again next year and contacting the MSU School of Social Work to possibly underwrite the cost of the conference. 3. Michigan Mentoring Month- Ms. VanDam shared that the mentoring month toolkit is on the MCSC website. The message for the month will be to bring awareness for more mentors, specifically more male mentors. Mr. Mulhern does a great job of getting on radio and television to spread the word on the need for mentoring. Janet Lawson asked what Commissioners can do to support this and also is there a way to launch a corporate strategy to recruit more male mentors. Ms. VanDam shared that Jim Dreyer raised over $55,000 from the Mackinac Swim and donated it to Mentor Michigan . As a result, we will be giving out mini-grants to mentoring organizations to plan activities during mentoring month that focus on mentor recognition and mentor recruitment. Once we identify what applications will be funded , Commissioners will be invited to attend those activities and recognition events in their communities. Commissioner Sowrnick suggested a polar plunge as a fundraiser for Mentor Michigan. 3 ' �4. Mentor Michigan Census Wave V Results- Ms. VanDam gave a summary of the results for the recent census. Tllis year 136 mentoring organizations completed the census (62% response rate). There were more than 20,000 mentors in Michigan, which is 11,500 more mentors today than when we started in 2003, and 4,200 more than last year. Of those reported, there are 1,600 more male mentors today than this time last year. It is great to begin to see the impact Mentor Michigan is having but there is more work to be done. Commissioner Williamson asked how we capture data from United Way 211. Ms. VanDam said that information is not captured though the census but directly from our partnership with the United Way. They will give us the statistics from their centers for January. 5. There were two grant opporttmities through federal agencies; one for mentoring children of incarcerated parents and the other through the U.S. Department of Education for school-based mentoring. Mentor Michigan provided some technical assistance to organizations who were interested in applying for these funds. Eight mentoring organizations in Michigan received a total of $728,000. 6. The Michigan Nonprofit Association received a $50,000 grant from Comcast that will focus on local communities, volunteer centers and Michigan Campus Compact members working together to impact mentoring, literacy and support the growing and innovative work of the League of Michigan. $25,000 of tllis grant has been earmarked to be subgranted in the amount of $5,000 to five communities so that a Campus Compact institution, volunteer center and a local mentoring collaborative can work together to strengthen their partnership. Chairman Mulhern stated that the boy he has been mentoring for 2 years has significant learning disabilities. Trying to get the school system and family to respond has been trying. There may be many mentors matched with kids that socially are not performing, have academic problems, and are filled with frustration at not being able to achieve and fit in. He suggested a session next year at the mentoring conference on strategies to handle difficult matches. Commissioner Lawson suggested having mentoring and 4-H organizations work together to give these children a positive mentoring experience working with animals. C. AmeriCorps Update - Ms. VanDam shared that there will be almost 900 AmeriCorps members doing a year of service. 1. AmeriCorps Alums - Last year Commissioners agreed that $10,000 of the proceeds that were raised from the Governor's Service Awards could be dedicated to focusing on beginning to develop and engage AmeriCorps alumni. These individuals do their year of service and then move on to do great things and to be our future community leaders. We needed resources to begin to galvanize and organize a network of these alums . Last year we did a massive mailing to a Michigan AmeriCorps alumni database 4 �introducing them to the idea of Michigan's alumni and what we were trying to do . Nationally there is a website called mytimeofservice.org where they are trying to organize AmeriCorps alumns nationwide and help states to develop local chapters. As a result of the mailing, we have over 500 alums registered through the website. We have also been working to develop local chapters. Detroit has had a chapter for a couple of years but we have been able to launch new chapters in Grand Rapids, Muskegon, Marquette and Lansing. The MCSC has developed a statewide leadership team and identified two or three people from each community to serve on the team and to spearhead the chapter development in those conununities. The MCSC staff met with them recently and helped them to with goal setting and training. Commissioner Lawson suggested that maybe some of the corporations can help get the members involved in service projects in their communities. Commissioner Alexander also suggested that community foundations and Youth Advisory Council members could be connected to the alumni programs. 2. Accomplislm1ents - Ms. VanDam shared highlights from the 2006-07 program year. There were 21 AmeriCorps programs with over 1000 members serving. They contributed over 700,000 hours of service. They have earned over $1.5 million in education awards, 2,500 students were engaged in service-learning activities through AmeriCorps members, 1,600 children have had direct mentoring relationships, and members recruited almost 24,000 volunteers (on average each member recruits 23 volunteers) . This is pretty powerful when you think ofthe leverage that AmeriCorps bring the local communities. 3. AmeriCorps Member Celebration - Ms. VanDam explained that every year we bring together the members for a day of training and celebration. They will attend a variety of workshops (Commissioner Swain led a workshop on inclusion), listen to keynote speakers (including Chainnan Mulhern) and then take their oath of office. D. Learn and Serve - Ms. VanDam gave a brief summary of the Learn and Serve program. The MCSC administers the program on behalf of the Department of Education. We provide grants to K-12 school districts that implement servicelearning district wide. Service-Learning is a way to connect what kids are learning in the classroom to cornnmnity service and being involved in their community. This year there are 20 school districts that the MCSC is working with. 1. Urban Initiative - It has been difficult to bring service-learning into the urban areas, specifically Detroit, because the grant amount is not significant enough for a district the size of Detroit. Through ongoing dialogue with the MCSC Commissioners on how to do a better job of penetrating urban areas, they designated $20,000 in proceeds from the 2006 Governor's Service Awards to be spent in urban areas. The MCSC had $20,000 in additional federal funding because two programs that did not meet the criteria were not funded. The Urban Initiative will use that federal funding, and will be piloted in Detroit. 5 �The MCSC will look at how it can be replicated in other areas. Angeli a Salas, the MCSC Learn and Serve Program Officer, held several meetings with organizations working in Detroit schools to identify schools in Detroit that would be willing to implement service-learning. We targeted four schoo ls and two schools applied for the funds . Renaissance High School requested $10,000 to establish an ongoing service-learning program. Their pilot proj ect wi ll engage over 1000 students and will be connected to English and Math classes. The YMCA Service-Learning Academy requested $10,000 to engage over 1,100 K-8 students in various service-learning proj ects. The YMCA ServiceLearning Academy is a charter school that was established in 1998. Staff is recommending board approval to fund Renaissance High School and the YMCA Service-Learning Academy at the requested amo unts. Commissioner Meston shared her concerns about funding a charter school due to fact that there seems to be large tum-over in charter school administrations. Commissioner Sowmick stated that he would like to make sure that the MCSC is also looking at other urban areas (Grand Rapids, Saginaw, etc.) for funding to make sure we are serving the whole state. Ms. VanDam said that the MCSC has had success in funding urban districts in other areas of the state and has had a difficult time getting into Detroit. The MCSC needs to continue to do outreach in urban areas . Chairman Mulhern asked for a motion to approve the staff recommendations for the Learn and Serve urban funding for Renaissance High School. Commissioner Seese made the motion to approve the staff recommendations, Commissioner Smith seconded the motion. The motion passed unanimously. Chairman Mulhern asked for a motion to approve the staff recommendations for the Learn and Serve urban funding for YMCA Service-Learning Academy. The motion passed with one opposed. 2. Learn and Serve Accomplishments - Ms. VanDam shared some highlights from 2006-07. There were over 50,000 students that participated in servicelearning; they provided almost 500,000 hours of service to their community; almost 1700 teachers participated in Learn and Serve programs; they mobilized more than 4000 volunteers in addition to the numerous hours that the students provided; and 15,000 disadvantaged youth were engaged in service learning and 12,000 disadvantaged yo uth were served. E. Volunteer Investment Grants - Ms. VanDam stated that the Michigan legislature appropriated $250,000 for FY 2008 for funding Michigan ' s VIG. This year MCSC staff is focusing the funding on the priorities from the MCSC ' s Blueprint for Action. Staff is proposing that $200,000 be used to support sub-grants to local communities. The sub-grants will be awarded to nonprofits, schools, or local government agencies to mobilize additional volunteers and to increase their capacity to support additional volunteers. Priority wi ll be given to organizations addressing mentoring, mobilizing baby 6 �boomers, and servicing youth from disadvantaged circumstances and/or engaging them in service. The other $50,000 would to support Mentor Michigan. Chairman Mulhern asked for a motion to approve the staff recommendations for the VIG funding. Commissioner Mawby made the motion to approve the staff recommendations, Commissioner Swain seconded the motion. The motion passed unanimously. F. Governor' s Service Awards - Ms. Michael announced that Ford has committed to a $25,000 sponsorship level for the 2008 GSA. Per feedback from Commissioners, a venue in Detroit is the best location for generating sponsorships but not necessarily at the Fox Theater. Mary Grill will look at the Detroit Institute of Arts as a possible venue. The 2008 GSA Committee will be Rob Collier, Janet Lawson, Joe Sowmick, Melonie Colaianne, Breannah Alexander, and Lloyd Jackson . G. Advocacy - Ms. Michael explained that Commissioners have a copy of a letter from Chairman Mulhern to the Michigan Congressional delegation supporting funding for national service. She also stated that the reauthorization bill (GIVE Act) could move soon. The MCSC supports the reauthorization bill. H. Financial Report - Garry Gross gave an update on the state budget. V. Public Comment Diana Algra distributed the Volunteer Centers of Michigan annual report which included data collected from Bob Kahle. Volunteer Centers Executive Directors met recently with their state legislators to share information about the Volunteer Centers and the impact from the Volunteer Investment Grants. VI.
