Executive Director's Report Musette Michael updated the Commissioners on several upcoming events. The Mentor Michigan Statewide Conference will take place on October 24. David Eisner, CEO of the Corporation for National and Community Service (CNCS), will be the keynote speaker. Following his speech, there will be a Commissioner round table discussion. All Commissioners are invited to attend. It will be a great opportunity to talk with David about the vision for the CNCS and how Michigan can further that vision. David will then give a keynote speech at the Michigan Rehabilitation Conference in Grand Rapids and participate in a town hall meeting with national service programs. The ArneriCorps Member Celebration will take place on November 13th in conjunction with the MCSC Board Meeting. Executive Directors of the programs that host the ArneriCorps programs will have lunch with the Commissioners. The Russ Mawby Signature Service Project will take place on June 11-12, 2008 in Benton Harbor. Ms. Michael also explained that Commissioners received a copy of a draft op-ed piece about the Time Magazine article on national service and urged them to submit them to their local newspapers. Ms. Michael will be meeting with each of the Commissioners prior to the next MCSC board meeting to hear what ideas Commissioners have and the direction they would like to see the Commission go. A. Staff Reorganization - Ms. Michael reviewed the new MCSC staff organization chart and gave background on the new DHS Director, Ismael Ahmed. She explained that due to cuts in the Learn and Serve funding, the MCSC could no longer fund two Learn and Serve Program officers. With the departure of Mark Mullaney, Jeanine Yard was able to transfer to the AmeriCorps program officer position. B. Mentor Michigan Ms. Michael and Amber Reiss gave Chairman Mulhern special recognition for his role in supporting Mentor Michigan including donating stipends that he receives from speaking engagements and spearheading the Mackinac Bridge Run/Swim that raised over $55,000. 1. W.K. Kellogg Funding I Male Recruitment Update- One of Mentor Michigan's key initiatives is recruiting more male mentors. The MCSC has received a grant from the W.K. Kellogg Foundation for $360,000 over the course of two years. That funding along with funding received from John Hancock will help kick off the Men in Mentoring Pilot. The first phase is to work with six pilot sites around the state and to grant out money to these sites to implement different strategies for recruiting male mentors. There are four mentoring programs and two mentoring collaboratives from around the state that will be part of the pilot. Over the course of the next two years these sites will recruit 2,000 new male mentors. Pace and Partners will be working with these sites to help promote the initiative. 2. Mentor Michigan VISTAs - Amber Reiss gave an update on the Mentor Michigan VISTA program. Mentor Michigan is beginning the 41h year of the Mentoring ArneriCorps*VISTA program, has been awarded 15 3 �members, and will kick off the first group of 10 members who will begin their service on October 15. Two members will be housed at the MCSC to work on special initiatives. Katie Clark will work on partnerships and outreach with mentoring collaboratives. Joan Johnson will focus on special initiatives with a focus on youth aging out of foster care, children of incarcerated parents, baby boomers, and men in mentoring. The other members will be serving across the state working on these same initiatives. 3. Mentoring Conference- The conference will take place on October 24 1h in Lansing. Chairman Mulhern will lead a workshop and David Eisner, CEO of the Corporation for National and Community Service, will be a keynote speaker. After Mr. Eisner's keynote speech, he will participate in a round table discussion with Commissioners. MCSC staff will prepare talking points for the Commissioners. We should recognize what David has accomplished and be clear on his priorities. Due to MCSC cuts in competitive funding, the MCSC should feature a program that did not get funded competitively but is now funded through formula funding. Mr. Eisner will also be participating in a national service town hall meeting. Amber Reiss thanked Commissioner Sowmick for the tribe's sponsorship of the conference. Chairman Mulhern commented that the key message at the 2006 Mentoring Conference was on recruiting male mentors. Mentor Michigan, along with Commissioners, have done a lot of work this year to address that issue. He thanked Commissioner Kwak for her help in securing the W.K. Kellogg grant. C. AmeriCorps Celebration - The AmeriCorps Member Celebration will take place on November 13. The MCSC board meeting will also take place on the same date. Commissioners will have lunch with the executive directors of the organizations that host AmeriCorps programs during this meeting. D. Learn and Serve Update- Ms. Michael explained that the Learn and Serve Challenge took place September 17-23 and was very successful. Angelia Salas secured a Governor's proclamation and Board of Education resolution in support of service-learning. This helps to emphasize the impact and importance of service-learning. Learn and Serve grantees will meet on October 24-25 and will combine with AmeriCorps program directors for the town hall meeting with David Eisner. The Institute on Service-Learning and Civic Engagement will take place on February 7-8, 2008. Ms. Michael announced at the Annual Urban Service-Learning Institute that the MCSC will grant $40,000 to Detroit school applicants for planning and implementing service-learning in Detroit Public Schools. E. Advocacy I National Service Update 1. National Service Reauthorization and Funding - Ms. Michael shared that Commissioners sent letters to Congressional members outlining support for reauthorization and federal funding. Ms. Michael visited several Congressional members' district offices in August to educate them on national service. Voices for National Service hosted a Hill Day in 4 �September. Because the MCSC and DHS have a no travel policy, Joe Dooley, from the Governor's Washington DC office, participated in several Hill visits along with Kyle Caldwell and other representatives of Michigan's national service programs. Kyle Caldwell shared additional comments on the Hill Day visits and shared that Michigan was very well represented. He also gave an update on FYOS-09 appropriations. Learn and Serve funding is at a critical point. If it is cut $1 more, the money will not go out on a competitive basis because it will be too small and will be distributed on a formula basis. It is critical that Learn and Serve funding be restored to previous levels to avoid this. He gave an update on reauthorization (the GIVE Act). It calls for an increase in AmeriCorps members to 100,000, it decreases the red tape on programs, and it removes some of the federal match requirements. It also allows members to earn an aggregate of2 fulltime education awards, it authorizes a Summer of Service program for middle and high school students, it reduces the age eligibility for Senior Corps, and it increases the education award for the first time. Voices for National Service (the broad coalition representing all sorts of national service programs) has three issues with the bill as introduced and if they are not addressed, Voices will not support the bill. First, AmeriCorps funding allocation should be changed. There should be funding for states to allocate on a formula basis and the rest should be competitive. Second, the community-based funding for Learn and Serve should be restored. The bill calls for elimination of Learn and Serve funding to local nonprofit organizations. Third, the competitive programs within Senior Corps should be asked to compete for funds. ServeMichigan will inform Commissioners through their listserv when there is any movement on the budget or reauthorization. Commissioners received a copy ofMCSC Fast Facts to share with others when they are out in their communities. Because of the information shared by Kyle Caldwell on national service funding, it is very important that Michigan's voice be heard. Commissioners were asked to share the information from their Fast Facts whenever they are out in their communities or speaking with legislators. 2. Time Magazine Article - Commissioners received a copy of a draft op-ed to send in to their local newspapers that is a follow-up to the Time Magazine piece on national service. F. State Budget Update- Garry Gross stated that the MCSC is waiting on budget information. He also shared that Doug Godesky from CNCS came to the MCSC office for a grant site visit/audit the beginning of September. Doug went through the policies and procedures for the MCSC and also went on an AmeriCorps program site visit. He went over the time and attendance, contracts, draw downs, and the grant process and was very pleased. The grant systems that the MCSC has in place are very strong. 5 �G. Governor's Service Awards- Mary Grill gave an overview of the GSA proceeds. Commissioners received a 2007 Financial Summary from the GSA. The GSA netted over $101,000, which is the highest ever netted for GSA. Expenses were decreased between $30,000 - $40,000 from 2006 to 2007. MCSC staff created a wish list for spending around the Blueprint for Action. It is broken down into five areas: Mentor Michigan ($40,000), Baby Boomers Initiative ($1 0,000), Professional Development($! 0,000), Service-Learning ($30,000) and AmeriCorps ($10,000). Staff is recommending the largest amount for Mentor Michigan with the majority of those funds paying for the Census. Service-Learning is receiving the second largest amount of money which is to utilize an outside research company to document the work of the MCSC. Commissioner Kwak commented that these items look like areas that could be funded by grant money and wondered how much grant writing the Commission is doing. There is momentum around the male mentor recruitment and could be a very fundable type of program. Mary Grill answered that fund development has been added to the Blueprint for Action. The MCSC would like to have a larger fund development plan so that we don' t use GSA as our only major way of raising funds for other things we want to do at the Commission. Commissioner K wak offered her assistance if the MCSC wants to have a conversation around grant writing. It might be worth taking a look at getting some of these more programmatic areas funded externally and using the GSA proceeds to fund the hard things that no one from the outside would want to fund . It was suggested that the MCSC could possibly get an intern to help with grant writing. Commissioner Collier stated that funders sometimes look for there to be a leverage amount before considering funding a program. It was suggested that some of the GSA proceeds could be used to leverage other funding. Commissioner Collier suggested endorsing the projects on the list with the understanding that we would look at the opportunity to leverage these dollars. Commissioner Parker asked whether there has been any communication strategy around promoting volunteerism. The GSA sponsors could be told that their funding has generated XX amount of increased volunteers. The internet is a great tool to use to promote volunteerism. Commissioner Lawson stated that she feels that there is a difference between a fund development committee and a committee that will creatively talk about what kind of grants we want to go after, our strategy, how can we connect one organization to another, and how we can stop going out and looking for money as opposed to selling our ideas. It would be a subcommittee within the Fund Development Committee to discuss strategy for receiving more funding. Commissioners Lawson, Kwak, Collier and Parker agreed to serve on this committee. 6 �Commissioner Collier stated that it is easier when fund raising for GSA to identify the programming (Mentor Michigan, Service Learning, etc) that the proceeds will be used for. Chairman Mulhern said that the Kellogg grant for Men in Mentoring came about because of the GSA proceeds that were spent on the Mentor Michigan census. Those funds have then generated the additional funding through the Kellogg grant which will recruit an additional 2000 mentors. Commissioner Collier asked to keep at least two ofthe initiatives on the list from a marketing standpoint and look for leverage opportunities with the additional funds. It is important that money raised from GSA is supporting programming (Mentor Michigan). Mary Grill said that sponsors frequently ask that proceeds be spent on specific programming areas (State Farm- Service Learning, Pistons - mentoring). Chairman Mulhern asked for a motion to support the staff recommendations and to use these programming dollars to leverage additional funding. Commissioner Collier made a motion to support the staff recommendations and Commissioner Williamson second the motion. The motion passed unanimously. Mary Grill will communicate with Commissioners via email around the details for the 2008 Governor's Service Awards (venue, format, etc.). H. MNA Update- Kyle Caldwell shared that the merger was completed on July 1 and is going well. Musette Michael will represent MCSC on the board. The Endowment Advisory Committee will be convening soon and Commissioners Lawson and Collier serve on that committee. The Nonprofit Superconference will take place on May 13-14,2008 in Lansing. Commissioner Pardoe gave a quick update on The LEAGUE which supports volunteerism and servicelearning. This program provides lesson plans that meet the benchmarks and standards that teachers have to meet. It engages students in service-learning around certain events and then captures that by assigning points to it. This allows them to give a dollar value of how much each student, classroom and school is giving back to their community. They will be kicking off a national launch in November and then statewide launches will follow. Ms. Pardoe hopes to continue to work with the MCSC Learn and Serve team to make a big impact in service-learning. V. Blueprint for Action- Ms. Michael explained that the Blueprint for Action is the strategic plan for the MCSC. The info~ation comes from the Commissioner Retreat in February and also from the CNCS Strategic Plan. We took our goals from the MCSC mission statement: provide vision, provide resources, and strengthen communities. The goals each have strategies within them and MCSC staffhave identified activities and implementation factors around each strategy. A Communications calendar was distributed to Commissioners outlining MCSC activities for the next year that are part of the communications plan. It is a "work in process" and will be developed further throughout the year. VI.

It offers personal and professional development workshops, features an exhibit hall with informational displays by each AmeriCorps program , and highlights the variety of programs within the national service family. Throughout the day, members network, share resources, and are motivated by speakers from various service backgrounds. The swearing-in ceremony, featuring the AmeriCorps Pledge, concludes the Member Celebration and reaffirms members' commitment to AmeriCorps and national service. 2008 THEME: "Unwritten!" Our goal is to celebrate the commitment members have made to service and to empower members to create and fulfill their own visions of a year of positive change for themselves and the community in which they serve. Red Cross Deployment: In late October, 13 Michigan's AmeriCorps members deployed to San Diego, California. Each of the AmeriCorps members made a three-week commitment to set up and work in the shelters for families that have lost their homes or are in danger of losing their homes to the wildfires that blazed through southern California. The members came from Grand Rapids, Kalamazoo, Lansing, and Muskegon , and are part of the AmeriCorps Together We Prepare program, which is administered by the American Red Cross of Greater Grand Rapids and has members serving throughout Michigan. Alum Chapter Development: The MCSC is committed to providing funding and support to establish at least five AmeriCorps Alums chapters throughout the state by the end of 2008 . Chapters are being developed or expanded in Detroit, Grand Rapids , Muskegon , Marquette, and Lansing . To help spearhead this initiative, ten strong AmeriCorps alumni leaders joined the Michigan AmeriCorps Alums Leadership Team, which is lead by the MCSC. The first meeting took place on October 12th and the team established goals and an annual event calendar. The MCSC will continue to do outreach to current members and alums. The Michigan's AmeriCorps members and NCCC members from Michigan received a letter about the AmeriCorps Alums website, which asked them to reg ister and become active Alums . Currently nearly 500 Michigan alums are registered on the website . The MCSC will work with the CNCS-Michigan office to do additional outreach to VISTA alums and current VISTA Site Supervisors. �MI C HIGAN MICHIGAN'S AMERICORPS MEMBER CELEBRATION NOVEMBER 13, 2007 COMMUNITY SERVICE 9:00A.M.- 4:30P.M.

One member served statewide-he was based at the MSU Extension office in East Lansing . Key Program Accomplishments: • 259 new community partnerships were developed A great story: In Pontiac, Christopher Sharon partnered with Lunghammer Chevrolet and AXA Advisors to recruit employees as mentors . Christopher helped organize an appreciation luncheon for all partners to promote mentoring and the need for mentors. Over 130 people attended this event. • 142 media coverage of events and activities A great story: In Wexford and Missaukee Counties, AmeriCorps*VISTA member Deb Durden was a guest on WATT radio's January series on mentoring . Durden was also a guest on CCTV's program "The Source" on January 8 and January 15. • 1,012 potential new mentors were referred to mentoring organizations What is a potential new mentor? It is a volunteer who is interested in being a mentor whose information has been given to a mentoring organization . This could include a formal application or someone who expressed interest at a volunteer fair. The Mentor Michigan AmeriCorps*VISTA program does not monitor whether the mentor is matched or the impact of a potential mentoring relationship . • 189 presentations and promotions were conducted to recruit mentors A great story: In Muskegon County, AmeriCorps*VISTA member Ray Van De Veer delivered a 20-minute presentation , followed by Q&A, at the Muskegon Kiwanis , Muskegon Ambucs, and Muskegon Rotary Club . • $48,320 in grants were received as a result of Mentor Michigan AmeriCorps*VISTA members' proposals A great story: AmeriCorps*VISTA member Jennifer Baier wrote and received a grant from the Target Foundation. As a result, the Ottawa County Mentoring Collaborative will have opportunities to provide mentor-mentee matches with cultural enrichment activities . • $29,481 in cash contributions leveraged A great story: AmeriCorps*VISTA member Laura Schleede approached local businesses to sponsor the Magic of Mentoring Celebration during Michigan Mentoring Month . Macatawa Bank provided a $500 sponsorship . • $35,740 of in-kind donations were leveraged from local communities A great story: The Cadillac Area Public Schools provided the use of facilities at reduced fees for mentoring events and professionals in the Cadillac area donated their time and expertise to provide mentoring activities to children living in the community. �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 1500 , -----·------··-····-----·-------·····-·--············-·· 1460 -------··--········--·-----······, •Inqu iries 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) . Kah le Research Solutions Page 2 �Another Great Story: AmeriCorps*VISTA member, Susan Fenton, had the opportunity to partner with State Senator Wayne Kuipers (R30th District) to recognize male mentors. In cooperation with the Senator's office, Fenton created the "Senator's Award for Men in Mentoring" which is awarded each month to a different male mentor with one of the 14 mentoring programs in the Ottawa County Mentoring Collaborative . In March 2007, mentor Blaine Sessions, a Kids Hope USA mentor from Allendale, received the first Senator's Award. A local business, the Kuiper-Gieason Group at R.W . Baird, has donated $50 gift certificates to each of this year's winners . The award has received excellent media coverage �a1oow400w MlmlltgwmJi!~ll!l• lkia!JiriiUJmlma Mentor Michigan Statewide Mentoring Conference: Fueling Up for the Future: 1 Mentor Michigan's annual conference, held on October 24 h, was a great success. There were 270 attendees from across the state. First Gentleman Mulhern opened the conference and introduced the first keynote speaker, David Eisner, CEO of the Corporation for National and Community Service. The lunch keynote speaker was Lansing native, DeVone Boggan from DbMentors, who also presented two workshops. Mulhern also presented the workshop, Everyday Leadership: Getting Results in Mentoring, and held a book signing . Other workshops included recruiting male mentors, understanding and recruiting in faith-based communities, mentoring hard to reach youth, and orienting and training mentors. 2008 Michigan Mentoring Month: January is Michigan Mentoring Month and the 2008 theme is "real people ... changing lives two at a time." We will celebrate and encourage the everyday, ordinary people who are making a difference for kids in Michigan . Mentors don't need special skills-all they need to do is care about kids and be willing to volunteer about an hour a week. Michigan Mentoring Month activities will include : • • • • • • Mentor Michigan Online Took Kit • Online Communications Tool Kit unveiled its initial resources on the Mentor Michigan website on October 241h. Additional resources will be added as they become available. PSA in Major Media Markets (Detroit, Grand Rapids, Lansing, Tri-cities, Traverse City) • Television PSA- pro bono support from DP&Company to customize the 2008 PSAs . • Radio PSA- pro bono support from Citadel (Lansing) is anticipated .

Wave V ~entor Michigan Census: 136 organizations completed the Wave V Census-a 62 percent response rate. A media campaign is being developed to announce complete results , which will be available at the end of November. The initial findings include : • There are more than 20,000 mentors in Mich igan-11 ,500 more mentors today than when we did the first Census in 2003-4,200 more than this time last year. • There are 1,600 more male mentors today than this time last year-and about 460 of them are African American men . • The number of children being mentored increased only slightly (11 0 more), which tells us that more one-onone mentoring is happening. One-on-one mentoring jumped from 55% to 69% from last year to this year (when compared with group, peer, team , and e-mentoring). �• Mentoring programs have the capacity to serve 6,000 more kids now than they did in 2003 . Com cast: The Michigan Nonprofit Association received $50,000 from Comcast to establish a sub-granting process to focus local communities, volunteer centers, and Michigan Campus Compact member institutions to work together to impact mentoring, literacy and support and grow the innovative work of The League in Michigan . Part of the funds will be sub-granted to five community collaborations that will come together to address mentoring, literacy and civic engagement. Plans for 2007-2008 Mentor Michigan AmeriCorps*VJSTA Program Year: Up to 15 AmeriCorps*VISTA members will be placed in mentoring organizations throughout the state. The members will focus on Children Aging Out of Foster Care, Children of Incarcerated Parents, or Community Mentoring Collaboratives.

The Mentor Michigan Census is information gathered and analyzed by Kalhe Research Solutions, Inc., which highlights. the scope and~ Aature of mentoring in Michigan. Regional data and other information will be available December 2007 . Copyright© 2007 State of Michigan htt ://www.michigan. gov/orinterFriendlv/0.1687 .7-1 93--129726--.00.html 11/12/2007 �Mentor Michigan Census Wave V: Executive Summary • Wave V of the Mentor Michigan Census (MMC) was conducted in September and October of 2007. 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 increases 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 Wave II r-~~~~~~~~~ 10,546 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 3,91 0 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.

Students provided 422,723 hours of service to their communities . 1690 teachers participated in Learn and Serve programs this year. 4245 volunteers gave their time to Learn and Serve programs. 15,463 disadvantaged youth were engaged as service-learners. 12,217 disadvantaged youth were served this year. 80 Community revitalization projects were completed this year. Our programs exceed the median national totals for all categories including: number of participants, number of teachers, hours of service, numbers of volunteers, and number of partners. * Numbers from four programs were not included because they have not completed their final reporting. Community-based Numbers: 209 students were engaged in the inaugural year of the Peer Mentoring program managed by Michigan State University Extension 4H. 3,480 hours of service were given by participants to mentees . 50 partner agencies were engaged in the program . Great Stories: English and English as a Second Language middle school teachers, Sue Linder and Jen Ostheimer, teamed their classes to accomplish a literacy project that provided bi-lingual books for Spanish speaking children and comprehension pamphlets for their parents. Books and pamphlets for parents were also taken to six other elementary media centers in the district for student use. The Mackinac County Better Understanding with Students (BUS) mentoring program paired high school students with elementary school students in one-on-one mentoring relationships that take place several days a week on the school bus . Students in the Engadine School District often have bus rides of an hour or more, and high school and elementary students ride the same bus. Before this program, students had little to occupy themselves during the ride, which often resulted in poor behavior and animosity between the older and younger students. After the program was implemented , the bus driver reported fewer behavioral incidents and a more positive atmosphere on the bus. Several neighboring school districts have requested information on replicating this program in their schools. Wayne Westland Community Schools implemented a comprehensive freshman transition program that has upper classmen mentoring incoming freshmen . The program is aligned with the High School Content Expectations for English Language Arts and follows the Michigan Merit Curriculum of the Michigan Department of Education . Ionia Intermediate School District led the development of "The �Box," an effective service-learning practices professional development program . The Box equips grantees to deliver research-based professional development to the educators. A national role out will begin at the National Service-Learning Conference in 2008. National Recognition: Kari Simon-Pieters of St. Johns received a Spirit of Service Award from CNCS for her outstanding Learn and Serve activities. Her "Chemistry in the Community" class joined the Stoney Creek Watershed Project to test water quality, report data to Michigan State University and watershed landowners, and share project results. Deborah Wagner from the Ionia County Intermediate School District received the State Farm Service-Learning Practitioner Leadership Award. The award recognizes those who have equipped young people to lead and serve, through their direct work with youth and by nurturing other practitioners. Special Events: Service-Learning Youth Advisory Council trainings were held in Lansing and Marquette. The Institute on Service-Learning and Civic Engagement was held in partnership with Michigan Campus Compact at Schoolcraft College in Livonia and drew more than 350 educators and students from K-12 and higher education . Outstanding Service-Learning Awards were given to four outstanding awardees. The standing-room-only event recognized outstanding educators, projects, and administrators from across the state. The first-ever Sustainability Symposium was held, which included Learn and Serve and AmeriCorps grantees . Jim Toole, a national expert from the Compass Institute, facilitated the intensive work. Participants left with long-term strategies for sustaining their programs. 1 4 h Annual Urban Institute, in collaboration with the National Youth Leadership Council, was held at Wayne State University. The event drew more than 100 service-learning professionals from across the nation. In honor of the National Learn and Serve Challenge, a proclamation was received from Governor Granholm and a resolution was received from the State Board of Education honoring the efforts of Michigan students and teachers involved in service-learning . The Corporation for National and Community Service and the Service-Learning Partnership praised the MCSC for its work to raise service-learning awareness . �llffiD"W,IW ~t11irnm1111'-f~W ~ MJ~gii!UJIJJ f:b811lllll8 Grantee and Alumni Meeting: The Learn and Serve grantees and alumni attended a two-day event, which included training on the recent service-learning principles, sustainability through policy, and evaluation . There was also an advanced academy designed for alumni. The Box: The MCSC has identified a number of professional development areas that require external leadership. To address the need for highly qualified local service-learning trainers, the MCSC contracted with the Ionia Intermediate School District to create train the trainer tools for the field. The service-learning coordinator at Ionia lSD led the development of "The Box," an effective service-learning practices professional development program . The Box equips grantees to deliver research-based professional development to educators. A national role out will begin at the National Service-Learning Conference in 2008. Each MCSC grantee will be trained in each of the modules by the end of 2008. The Learn and Serve- Michigan staff will continue to look to current and past grantee leaders to assist in the creation of materials and resources that further develop the service-learning field in Michigan. Urban Service-Learning: In an effort to increase the number of urban educators involved in service-learning, funding was offered to urban schools in Detroit. Four schools were identified and invited to apply and two-Renaissance High School and the YMCA Service-Learning Academy-applied . The staff is recommending both Renaissance and the YMCA Service-Learning Academy for pilot funding . Grants will begin January 1, 2008. Each program will be matched with a service-learning coach and provided the support needed to successfully develop and implement a servicelearning program . The programs will be expected to reapply for funding during the normal grant process and additional urban grantees will be sought for the upcoming cycle. Teens, Kids , and Communities: Through their community-based service learning grant, Michigan 4-H has developed an online training course, Teens, Kids and Communities: Developing a Service Learning Program . The eight-week online certification course is for those interested in creating or improving teen peer mentoring service-learning programs. Participants will gain a better understanding of the knowledge and theory surrounding community-based servicelearning and peer mentoring , network, and apply course material locally. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Advocacy committee (which includes Mary and Janice) should meet on #3 to get the ball rolling. We said we'd have the talking points and fast facts available in January. And for information in #10, I'd like to forward that information to Commissioners and staff; maybe we should ask Paula whether we should send to other partners . Thanks for your quick response. Musette >>>Jeanine Yard 11/15/2007 5:08PM >>> I actually have the contact information for item # 8. These were presenters at the Celebration rather than the mentor conference. I will forward to you and Janet first thing tomorrow. I'd like to talk to you more about item #3 Item #10 - Learning disabilities are fairly common. Megan may also be able to share some resources from inclusion committee members. Ang and I probably have some contacts at ISDs and/or MDE that can provide a list of resources as well .... so mentoring team, feel free to ask when you are researching for this answer. >>> Musette Michael11/14/07 3:49PM >>> Here is my list; Paula, Janice, and Garry ...jump in if I missed anything. I've put staff names next to items. Please let me know if I don't have the right name listed. Otherwise, please give me a response by November 27 so I can get back with the Commissioners.

And Breannah said that the YAC and foundation community could also help launch the Alums. She said there's an Annual Conference in June which would be a good chance to disseminate information. (Megan) 8. Janet Lawson wanted contact information on Ruth Rockwell and Raean Fleisher-Oisen from CMH presenters at the conference (Amber, Kat). 9. Learn and Serve grants ... Breannah wanted to know whether we make them to buildings ... to feeder schools? The grant to a charter school, YMCA, raised concerns with Susan Meston. Questions about whether it's a stable leadership, or lots of change. (Angelia) 10.

Kellogg Foundation Mayor Brenda Lawrence City of Southfield Janet Lawson Ford Motor Company Russell Mawby As the House-Senate conference committee convenes on the FY 2008 Labor-Health and Human Services appropriations bill, I urge you to support funding for the Corporation for National and Community Service (CNCS). Federal appropriations for CNCS help fund Michigan's AmeriCorps, Learn & Serve, and Senior Corps programs, as well as supplement state funding for programs such as Mentor Michigan. Chair Emeritus W. K. Kellogg Foundation Susan Meston Muskegon Area Intermediate School Distrid Donna Niester James C. Acheson Foundation Acheson Ventures Kari Pardoe The LEAGUE Michigan Bernard Parker Wayne County Commissioner Jerry Seese Saginaw Township Community Schools Marsha Smith Rotary Charities of Traverse City Joseph Sowmick Saginaw Chippewa Indian Tribe of Michigan As you know, national service programs make a difference in Michigan's communities every day. In 2006, more than 56,000 people in 125 communities across Michigan participated in one of these programs. In order to remain effective in their work, it is essential that these programs receive adequate funding. Earlier this year, the President proposed $829 million for CNCS, substantially lower than the $935 million appropriated just four years ago. Although funding has consistently declined in recent years, I was pleased that the Senate approved $881 million for CNCS for FY 2008. As the Chair of the Michigan Community Service Commission, I urge you and your colleagues to fund these programs at the Senate approved level of$881 million for FY 2008. Investing in service programs is necessary to strengthening communities in Michigan and across the United States, and I appreciate your attention to this matter. If you have any questions, please contact Joe Dooley in Governor Granholm's Washington, D.C. office at (202) 624-5840.

Increasing the investment would allow more Americans to serve, and create greater capacity to meet critical community needs for the benefit of children, families, the elderly, and the environment. Through AmeriCorps, Learn and Serve America and the Senior Corps, more than 1.6 million citizens strengthen communities by: tutoring and mentoring children; building affordable housing; creating playgrounds and parks ; restoring the environment; teaching in underserved schools; building trails; • caring for the homebound elderly; providing critical services to low-income citizens . A dramatic example of the power of national service is the vital role it has played in post-Hurricane Katrina recovery and rebuilding in the Gulf Coast region . More than 93,000 national service members have contributed 3.5 million hours of aid to the affected communities. Participants have helped to organize and leverage an additional 262,000 volunteers in the Gulf Region - more than a quarter of the total volunteer force . Their work has included : transporting supplies and evacuees; removing and remediating mold; rebuilding homes; working in shelters; helping orient and support evacuees throughout the country; staffing hotlines; collecting and so rting donations of food , clothing, and school supplies. Our goal is to continue to grow the broad bipartisan support for national service that has emerged over the last decade. FY08 - FY09 Appropriations For the programs administered by the Corporation for National and Community Service, we urge Congress to adopt the funding levels approved by the Senate Appropriations Committee on July 21: $275.8 million for AmeriCorps State and National, $217.6 million for the Senior Corps, $39 .I million for Learn and Serve America, and $31 .8 million for National Civilian Community Corps. The Senate mark is $36 million more than approved by the House. Since fiscal year 2004, federal support has been on a steady decline and all the service initiatives have been targeted for cuts. In three years, funding has declined by close to $1 00 million, a trend that must be stopped and reversed to meet the record demand for service opportunities.

The service programs are long overdue for reauthorization , and we are pleased the House Education and Workforce Committee has taken the lead and introduced H.R. 2857, the Generations Invigorating Volunteerism and Education Act. Sponsored by Carolyn McCarthy (D-NY) and Todd Platts (R-PA), the GIVE Act includes many important programmatic adjustments, such as: • increases AmeriCorps membership to 100,000; • decreases the administrative burden on AmeriCorps grantees by removing federal match distinctions; • allows AmeriCorps members to earn • reduces the age eligibility for Senior Corps the aggregate of 2 full-time ed awards; to 55 years; • authorizes Summer of Service program • increases AmeriCorps Education Award for middle and high school youth with a to $5 ,225. $500 stipend ; We have 3 fundamental issues with the bill as introduced, which we have asked the comm ittee to address in a manager's am e ndment: I. The AmeriCorps funding allocation should be simplified to promote quality and ease the administrative burden on grantees; II. The community-based and competitive funding streams in the Learn and Serve America program should be restored; and Ill. Competition in the RSVP program needs to be implemented in a way that recognizes how the program works and minimizes disruption to senior volunteers and their community partners . www.voicesforservice.org I 918 U Street NW, Washington, D.C. 2000 II info@voicesforservice.org I fax: 202-7 42-7 40 I � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

VanDan1, Deputy Director Michigan Community Service Conm1ission RE: StaffRecommendations for Michigan's AmeriCorps Formula Programs- REVISED DATE: June 10, 2007 Michigan's AmeriCorps Formula Renewal and New Applications Background The Corporation for National and Community Service recently notified us about our competitive funding for AmeriCorps. We had submitted 8 applications for funding with an aggregate request of$2,856,335. The Corporation had $50 million available and had requests for over $100 million. The CNCS selected three of our applications for funding: City Year- $580,744 Jumpstart- $142,434 MSU Extension 4H- $700,638 Our total award of competitive funding is $1,423 ,816. City Year and MSUE had been funded previously with competitive funds . Jumpstart is new to the competitive funds. Three of our existing programs lost their competitive funding: BHK Chi ld De~elopment in the Upper Peninsula, Dept of Agriculture's Groundwater program, and Good Samaritan Ministries Mentoring Program. This equates to a loss of$ 1,043,949. We have asked CNCS for feedback as to why these applications were not selected. We had also submitted an application from Huron Pines, a new applicant located in northern Mich.igan that will focus on building the capacity of environmental organizations in a five county area. This is a geographic area where we have never had a program located. They applied last year and we were �interested in funding them, along with three other organizations, but did not have the funds to do so . They did not receive competitive fundin g either. The MCSC staff worked with the funding committee to decide which programs to submit for competitive funding. Part of their interest was to give new organizations a chance for the funding rather than to continue to on.ly support existing programs. As a result, we asked the four new organizations that we were interested in funding last year if they would be interested in submitting a competitive application this year. Huron Pines was the only organization that was interested in doing so. Recommendations: After significant discussion with the staff and the funding committee of the board, we are recommending to the Executive Committee that we fund BHK, Dept of Agriculture, Good Sam Ministries, and Huron Pines with our formula funds . To do so, we had to make cuts to some of the currently funded programs as well as BHK. When deciding on the cuts, we looked at the amount they received in the 2006-07 year, the amount they were requ esting in 2007-08, their member enrollment and retention rates for 05-06 and 0607, their overall program performance, and their application scores. In the case of BHK, we also looked at need and population. We also factored in that when BHK was formula funded in the past it was for 30 members . Please keep in mind that ten (1 0) members is the smallest size program we can support. Based on these factors, organizations would face a cut from 0% up to about 25%.
