GOALS AND TACTICS 1. Year-round, statewide (not just Detroit) visibility aimed at a variety of demographics. • Communication tools should be in accessible formats that are user-friendly to media. • Have a compelling message for key constituents (i.e., Men in Mentoring). • Develop nontraditional outreach methods - like podcasts. Maisha to check out one-in-a-million fitness (http://www.michigan.gov/oneinamillion) • Do market research/focus groups to find out how people get their news and what methods specific demographics best respond to. • Add links to MCSC on websites of elementary and high schools, as well as college campuses (reach out "kid-to-kid'). • Gather "impact" stories. • Plan outreach with a demographic focus, including a broader media audience. • Include MCSC information in AARP literature to gain volunteers. Find out if there is a way through the state to be alerted when staff is retiring. • Market AmeriCorps to high schools. • Create more media collaborations/Get corporate media buy in (i.e., Citadel Broadcasting Corporation/ http://www. citadel broadcasting. com/press/preport. cfm ?press ID=92 • Use video camera to capture good examples of our work. • Do a regular volunteer cable show. • Continue to use Dan as spokesperson, but develop others, as well as a communications toolkit for promoting MCSC's work. • Celebrities (Anita Baker and GSA's special guest each year and NASCAR) • Local people • Short PSAs (Like the I!We believe in Michigan PSAs) • Highlight mentor of the month during local sports telecasts. Possibly get tickets for mentor and mentee. • Make connections/sell programs to new businesses (i.e., Google, Toyota). • Presidential Service Awards - have Dan present them in various communities when he's out doing other events, etc. Who would nominate, MCSC or community organizations? 2. Rapid response team - looking for hooks . Have someone follow the daily news and seek out opportunities to tie our message/programs/action to them. (For 1 �example, the recent story ofNathaniel Abraham story - the 21 year-old, in prison since he was 11 for murder, was just released. Dan thinks we could have connected to that story by highlighting our resources . This one is key to Dan.) • Tell our stories independent of mass media. • Work on the "hook" for our stories/programs. The hook could be a website (i.e., bethedifference.com) • Utilize NPR Story Corps, a program that CMA uses. (See Allison Treppa, per Kari Pardoe). NPR is going across the country doing first-person accounts of"everyday America." More information: http://www .npr. org/templates/story/ story.php ?storyId =4 5169 89 3. Prioritize messages and calls to action for each MCSC program. Cities of Promise and Other DHS Priorities GOALS AND TACTICS 1. Define focus areas and determine a couple of the priorities we can focus on well. • Cities ofPromise • Early Childhood • Jobs, Education, and Training (JET) • Youth Aging Out ofFoster Care • Special Populations • Other DHS priorities? 2. Conduct a self-assessment to determine current connections to DHS programming and to determine communities where both of us have a presence. • Assess Communities ofPromise and see if we have current AmeriCorps and Learn and Serve programs in the communities. • Do regular review of how MCSC funding can support Communities of Promise and do targeted outreach. • Create new funding opportunities for Communities ofPromise. (e.g. JET Corps) 3. Connect with DHS programs to better inform them about MCSC programs and engage with particular programs • fu early childhood programs link special volunteers (boomers, seniors) to support needs for childcare. • For youth aging out of foster care: o Examine approaches and develop pilot projects o Explore expanding the definition of mentoring to reach this special population. o Consider partnerships with community colleges as a way to support this population. o Make connections with nonprofits that are already mentoring this population. 2 �Advocacy/Public Policy Overarching Long Range Goal - MCSC Sustainability GOALS AND TACTICS 1. Tool Development • Film on work of the MCSC • On-line tools • Develop workshop sessions to have available for presenting at conferences and events. 2. Education (legislators) • Capitalize on existing venues • Demonstrate partnership with government • Demonstrate leveraging capability (funding, people, and resources) • Demonstrate ability to increase improve civic responsibility • Engage local champions 3. Build relationships • Capitalize on existing venues and relationships • Put agenda forward at conferences • Recognition of legislators, corporations, foundations • Court legislators leaving office; find out what they will be doing when they leave and how we can help them/they can help us • Committee to keep calendar ofhill visits and conferences where we can carry our message • Recognize partnerships rather than just the partners 4. Develop MCSC Platform • Build public support • Put timeframes on action • Develop a mentoring caucus; evolve it to include service and volunteerism • Grassroots and grasstops sign on letters 5. Develop joint workplan with CMA Recruitment Committee GOALS AND TACTICS 1. Engage more baby boomers in volunteer activities • Explore targeted marketing ideas (websites, etc.) • Explore and utilize national tools/resources 3 �• Educate/train our grantees, constituents (cross stream, mentoring conference, celebration), volunteer centers, etc. on best practices for engaging baby boomers 4. Increase the use of 8-hour employee release time • Within state government and businesses that already have it in their policies: o Educate people on the availability of the perk o Bring opportunities to employees for easy volunteer connections • In businesses that don't have it as a policy o Encourage development of the policy o Once the policy is in place, continue as stated above 5. Engage highly skilled volunteers to increase the capacity of nonprofit organizations.

This is only my opinion. Over the short period I have served on MCSC, I have recognized a consistent pattern in our meetings - quarterly as well as annual retreats. At the retreat, we set many goals vis-a-vis brainstorming, which I think is essential in processes. Like a funnel of great ideas, we should have left the retreat with one or two "Action Items" or committed/ consensus driven "Actionable Plans." I left overwhelmed, more for the staff. Like Aespo's fable, Lioness & Vixen, it was questioning quantity or quality??? At the end of the retreat, I sat gazed. First, I thought, every year we do this & re-brainstorm rather than monitoring progress-to-date . Then, I asked myself, what is our core "business" principle(s), and how will this board/retreat assist in enabling it to ACT on the "aha !dea(s)" we had. We left with ideas but no action plan; partly because we had too many things to set in motion to act upon, maybe? If I was the author of MCSC meetings, I would envision that every MCSC meeting after a retreat is not just about "updates," which I believe is incumbent upon all of us to have read beforehand -come with questions not being eductaed on the subject, but to talk about the progress of our retreat goals/ aspirations to what steps we need to take next. In my head, the one-to-one mapping was missing . Meaning, our ideas to the solutions or at least the solution development plan. Every month should be, at least in part, a session on "Goals : Action. " We have to hold ourselves accountable for the progress of MCSC retreat "stated deliverables", a team driven collaborative, to execution . I look at my own career as an business enterprise . I always ask myself, how do I transform my creative ideas into lucrative enterprises (MCSC goals) . We must assist the staff, the organization & MCSC/the retreat goal with development on its "capacity." This is NOT to say that the staff or MCSC is not doing tremendous work, thus far . This is ONLY meant to say that our board has defined/outlined the relationship between the adaptable, realisti c solutions to action steps to execution. If I sound arrogant, I apologize, very sincerely ! ! I just comepted a class on Structured Analogical Analysis Methodlogies (big SMILE). Wendy Acho Copyright ©1999-2006 SurveyMonkey.com .

Updates on Progress and Challenges A. Service Learning 1. Shelly Billig, Vice President ofRMC Research, presented research on service-learning. She shared that Michigan has been a leader and model for the nation in service-learning. She shared results of a national study on the impact of service-learning on high school student's civic and academic engagement, including the characteristics of service-leaming that best predict results; results of Learn and Serve Evaluations in Michigan; and the in1plications for Michigan schools. First they wanted to find out the impact of participating in servicelearning. Second, what is it about service-leaming that predicts different kinds of impact. The methods included pre/post high schoo l student and teacher surveys, administrator interviews, student focus groups, classroom observations, and interviews with conununity partners. Then once they had the findings , they went back to those they surveyed and discussed the findings with them to find out their thoughts. The measures included academic engagement, valuing school, school attachment, enjoyment of math and science, enjoyment of reading/language arts and social studies, civic knowledge, civic skills, civic 2 �dispositions, civic engagement, community attachment, and efficacy. The sites for the studies were located in Fort Myers, FL; Miami FL; Anoka, MN; Tillamook, OR; Humble, TX; and Menasha WI. The results showed there were no differences between service-learning participants and non-participants except in three areas : enjoyment of subject matter, intention to vote, and specific types of civic knowledge, especially related to community and civic life. It also showed large significant differences between service-learning participants and non-participants when servicelearning sites had high quality. Attributes associated with highest outcomes include duration of at least one semester, teacher experience, type of service project, engagement in service-leaming, and essential elements. The predictors of academic outcomes included clear goals and objectives that students can articulate, cognitive and developmental challenge, assessment, fonnative and summative evaluation (enjoyment of subject matter), valuing diversity, interaction with the community, preparation for service, and reflection activities that featured critical thinking. The predictors of civic outcomes included clear goals and objectives that students can articulate, cognitive and developmental challenge, assessment (civic knowledge only), formative and summative evaluation, student voice, and valuing diversity. Service-Learning projects showed large positive character education (caring and trust) in Philadelphia, strong respect for diversity in Texas, strong civic leaming outcomes in Virginia, and strong academic outcomes in Michigan and New England. Michigan results showed that programming was very diverse, direct and indirect service, included research, was required (hours), was linked to academics, and included high quality in the areas of relevance, challenge and inclusion of civics. There were significant increases in civic knowledge scores for grades 35; there were significant decreases in school engagement; teachers felt students gained in character development and civic skills, but not in academics; students felt they gained work experience, job skills, and career awareness; student reports of engagement and quality were significantly related to outcomes; teacher reports of quality and imp lementation were not consistently related to outcomes; and intensity and duration varied substantially, from 5% to 90% of time devoted to service-leaming, with an average of 4 hours per week over 13 weeks. Recommendations: To promote academic achievement we need to incorporate more cognitive challenge, link to standards, extend projects over time, devise activities that are developmentally appropriate and establish a culture that promotes service and leaming. To promote civic engagement we need to foster a civic commitment through the development of a "social contract", guide students but give them many choices, strategies need to build on research about the topic, careful about efficacy and tackling something that is the right size, promote taking a stand, design and guide meaningful reflection activities, and include demonstration of the results. 3 �2. Angelia Salas gave an update on the Service-Learning Urban Initiative. The MCSC will be offering mini-grants around service-learning in urban areas. They will also be issuing a RFP for selected schools to begin looking at supporting service-learning at the building level in urban areas. Grants will also be available to Cities of Promise locations. The MCSC will also be able to offer these schools the opportunity to attend the National Urban Service-Learning Institute which will take place at Wayne State University in August. B. Mentor Michigan 1. MI Campus Compact Mentor Challenge Update - Amy Smitter shared that in 2004 Dan Mulhern challenged college and university presidents to recruit mentors on their campuses. The Michigan Campus Compact Board ofDirectors accepted his challenge to recruit 1,500 mentors in the state over the next three years. This year the MCC included mentoring survey data with their National Campus Compact survey information for Michigan and had more than half of the college and universities fill out that section. There is more work to be done to get all of the campus to repmi their mentoring data. In the last two years, at least 5,000 students, staff and faculty were mentoring across campuses. In tenns of the challenge, they doubled the challenged amount with over 3,000 new mentors. Mr. Mulhern will be re-challenging them at their March meeting. There are two programs that the MCSC is helping Campus Compact with to help meet the challenge. The first is an AmeriCorps Education Award program that offers scholarships to college students who agree to 300 hours of community service as part of their college experience. They receive $1 ,000 in return. They have recruited 350 members. A large portion of these members are serving disadvantaged youth, with a large portion of those mentoring. The second program is the Learn and Serve America Grant, "Investing in College Futures", that MCC and MCSC worked closely on. This is $1.14 million over the next three years to help colleges and universities around assisting disadvantage youth. The MCC has also learned that the colleges and universities are facilitating placements between mentors and college students, faculty and staff and some are even running their own mentoring programs. 2. Mentoring Month Update - Paula K. VanDam shared some ofthe highlights from Mentoring Month. There were several local events held throughout the state including community collaboratives and college campuses holding celebrations to promote mentoring. The Governor and First Gentlemen highlighted Mentor Michigan during inaugural events and raised over $100,000 for Mentor Michigan during these events. A new partnership was forn1ed with United Way ofMichigan to pilot the 211 number for potential mentors to find out about mentoring opportunities. New tllis year was the Men in Mentoring Recruitment Challenge and 32 organizations signed on 4 �the challenge to recruit more men as mentors in January. They have reported that they recruited approximately 300 men as mentors during tllis period. Mentor Michigan also launched its online directory where people can search for mentoring organizations and its Corporate Honor Roll to recognize businesses that support mentoring in Michigan. 3. National Governor' s Association- Chairman Mulhern shared that he is the chair of the spouses group and will have the National Mentoring Partnership talk about mentoring at their meeting and the win/win situation of having the mentoring initiative part of state commissions. 4. DHS/MSU-E Mentoring Foster Youth Pilot - Commissioner Marsha Snlith gave an overview of this initiative which links foster youth aging out ofthe foster care system with mentors. This collaborative effort between DHS and MSU would train the mentors to help with specific objectives (job traitling, education, housing, etc) to help guide their transition from foster care to independence. Paula K. VanDam shared that there may be a possibility to connect ArneriCorps members to this initiative. The MCSC has submitted a competitive application to the Corporation to merge the CMA Mentor Michigan AmeriCorps program with the MSU Extension Mentoring AmeriCorps program. Also, dealing with kids aging out of foster care is a priority for the Corporation. The MCSC has had conversations with Evan Albert around VISTA's related to tllis initiative as well. They would have far more flexibility. C. National Service Update - Megan Sargent gave an overview of ArneriCorps Week (May 13-20) to make more people aware of AmeriCorps and what the programs are doing. Michigan's ArneriCorps members will be using "100 Hours ofPower" as their theme and will do service projects in their commuruties. Commissioners were encouraged to attend these projects in their areas. There will also be an onsite service project during the Nonprofit Superconference where they will be making fleece blankets for an orgaruzation and are encouraging everyone at the conference to donate 15 minutes of time. She also shared that she is working on establishing a good ArneriCorps Alums base. There are a couple of Alum chapters in Michigan and she is working with them to engage them and keep them connected. The goal is to get them involved in mentoring or other areas of service. Ms. VanDam also shared that the Russ Mawby Signature Service Project will be June 6-7 in Detroit and will be a Habitat build. Commissioners were encouraged to attend. Ms. VanDam gave an update on federal funding. The 2007 appropriations were just finalized and both the House and the Senate passed a continuing resolution to the end of the fiscal year and the President has signed it. The decrease in funding for ArneriCorps from FY04 to FY07 is $58 million. The Learn and Serve budget is also looking at a $6 million cut and $11 million for FY08. This will be a busy year for the MCSC as far as educating the lawmakers about the 5 �importance of national service. Congress may also be taking up reauthorization this year. Commissioner Collier asked if talking points could be given to Commissioners regarding the funding cuts and what it means for Michigan. MCSC Staff will draft talking points and distribute. D. CmmectMichigan Alliance I Michigan Nonprofit Association Update Commissioners Mawby and Lawson have represented the MCSC on the committee that is looking at the merger of the two organizations. Mr. Maw by gave an update on the merger. They have talked about the benefit of coming together and the merger of the mission ofboth organizations. He said each organization has a distinctive role but there are a lot of areas of commonality and activities. The leadership and staff of the organizations along with the boards of the organizations have actively been involved. The agreement is the umbrella organization will be the Michigan Nonprofit Association coming together with the resources and experiences of the ConnectMichigan Alliance to have a merger of missions. The specific concern is the integrity of the $20 million endowment and systems incorporated to protect the intentions of the donors. There will be an advisory group that will oversee the endowment. The reconm1endation for the merger will go to both boards in March for their approval. E. Volunteer Investment Grants - Diana Algra gave an update on the VIG initiative (see attached report). Volunteer Centers ofMichigan (VCM) has worked on more than 75% of Bob Kahle's recommendations from his report in 2005 . There has been an update in technology and developed a web-based reporting system. They are also working with current centers to expand their coverage area. Ms. VanDam explained that the MCSC asked VCM to submit a proposal for the Michigan Volunteer Investment Grants for FY07 to build on the momentum over the past two years. VCM is proposing continuing with the universal coverage of the expansion grants, a continuation of their Leadership Academy, and continuing to provide technology grants with a focus on the creation of the Statewide Volunteer Matching Portal. The MCSC staff recommends funding to the Volunteer Centers ofMichigan in the amount of$200,000. Chairman Mulhern asked for a motion to approve the staff recommendations for the VIG funding. Commissioner Collier made the motion to approve the staff recommendations, Commissioner Colaianne seconded the motion. The motion passed unanimously. F. Conmmnications Update - Mary Grill shared that the new MCSC Annual Report was distributed to Commissioners. There are facts, figures and good stories about the MCSC programs. She also explained that each Commissioner has received a new Key Information Binder. She shared that Anita Baker will be the headliner at the Governor' s Service Awards. The event will be held at the Fox Theater in Detroit and will be similar to last year's event. She distributed a GSA potential sponsor chart and asked Commissioners to look 6 �• it over and let her know if there are any changes or additions . The GSA Committee also suggested that the sponsorship levels be adjusted this year due to the tight economy. There will be one $15,000 sponsorship, the premier level has been lowered from $15,000 to $10,000, and the pacesetter level has been lowered from $10,000 to $7,500. There is concern about reaching the fundraising goal but the goal this year will be to meet event expenses. Chairman Mulhern said that it is important that we not set our sights too low. There has been a lot of challenge for businesses but there has been a lot of growth for other sectors (service areas, health care, technology, etc.). He encouraged Commissioners to think about who needs to be on the list and how we can get to them to commit to supporting the Governor's Service Awards. We need to all work hard and to keep doing the follow up calls. There is plenty of money out there so we need to be optimistic. V.

Welcome and Introduction - Vice Chairman Rob Collier The meeting was called to order at 12 :00 by Vice Chainnan Rob Collier as Chaim1an Dan Muil1em could not attend the meeting due to a scheduling conflict. He asked everyone to introduce themselves. He introduced Dr. Susan Meston, a new Commissioner, who is Superintendent Mike Flanagan's designee. II. Mentor Michigan Census IV Results - Bob Kahle Mr. Kahle presented results from Wave IV of the Mentor Michigan Census. There are 237 registered mentoring organizations, with 137 responding to the census (58 % response rate). There were 17,522 new inquiries in 2006 with 8,000 new written applications received from potential mentors. Tliis is the lughest number of inquiries and applications ever recorded by the census. But the applications are not keeping pace with the number of inquiries. There were 28,283 young people mentored in 2006 with 16,382 active mentors which means there were an estimated 35 ,000 mentoring relationships in Micrugan in 2006. This is approximately an 11,000 person increase in children mentored. The number of active mentors from Wave I (9,108) to Wave IV (16,382) has grown significantly. This is over a 2-year period. Another measure taken from the census is the change in the number of youth mentored. In the Wave IV census, 96 orga1Iizations report an increase in matches and 22 organizations report a decrease in matches. This shows the number of mentored cruldren is growing. Wave IV also shows that there is a movement away from one-to-one mentoring and toward team mentoring. There is no significant change in mentor demographics. Mentors are still mostly female and mostly Caucasian. AmeriCorps and AmeriCorps*VISTA Participation: Satisfaction with both VISTA and AmeriCorps members is high, with more than 70% reporting "Very Satisfied" with each. Their focus is mentor recruitment, awareness building, program development and mentor retention. Their outcomes included increased mentor recruitment, partnership development improvement and a greater awareness in the community. Partnerships and Collaboratives: Businesses and faith-based organizations are the most likely partners for mentoring organizations. There are more than 1,500 Michigan businesses that have relationships with mentoring organizations. The benefits include greater awareness in the commrniity, increased mentor recruitment, increased resources and more in-kind services. Mentoring collaboratives have increased which creates better cooperation, communication and collaboration between the mentoring organizations. The results from this include greater awareness in the conununity, sharing of resources, and joint problem solving. Satisfaction with Mentor Michigan remains high. The organizations benefit from the training, mentor recruitment and marketing/awareness building that Mentor Michigan provides. Areas of support needed by mentoring organizations include more operational support (funding) and mentor recruitment support. 2 �Recommendations: Don't let up! Address key needs ofmentoring organizations which are operational funding and mentor recruitment. Funding recommendations include operational funding which could include mini re-granting program, "Plowground" by setting the stage with funding sources for mentoring organization grants, and consider a Mentor Michigan event-based fundraiser. Build mentoring organizations' capacity to raise funds by source identification, grant writing, eventbased fundraising and business partnerships. Recruitment recommendations include developing a fact-based , systematic, detailed strategic plan to recruit more men as mentors, consider review of January men and mentoring contest, consider idea generation focus groups with all key contest participants, emphasize mentor retention and refenal efforts, train board members from mentoring organizations in recruitment techniques and enhance recruitment efficiency. Quality recommendations include emphasizing quality measures directly related to better outcomes for mentored youth (intensity and duration, post-match training) and seek to reduce short-term matches, lack of match closure and mismatches. Vice-Chairman Collier suggests that these reconm1endations be discussed at the February MCSC Retreat. III.

Executive D irector's Report - Paula VanDam asked Kyle to give an update on national service funding. Kyle Caldwell shared that Congress is looking at the Senate's numbers for funding which would mean at least flat funding for Michigan. Ms. VanDam shared the C CS has issued proposed rules on criminal history checks for AmeriCorps members. The MCSC has had this as a policy so it shouldn't have a big impact on Michigan. The Russ Mawby Signature Service Project will take place on June 6 and 7 in Detroit. The MCSC received a Community-Based Leam and Serve America grant and will be partnering with MSU Extension to create youth peer mentoring programs that will include service-leaming experiences for the mentor. Sixteen counties were selected to participate in the pilot year. Ms. VanDam explained that the MCSC was transfetTed in October from the Department of Labor and Economic Growth to the Department of Human Services. This transfer was made to try and protect the MCSC budget. Kyle Caldwell gave an update on the ConnectMichigan Alliance I Michigan Nonprofit Association merger.

Govemor's Service Awards - Mary Grill went through the 2007 Govemor's Service Awards potential sponsors list. Commissioners were assigned as follow up contacts. An invite has been sent to Stevie Wonder to participate this year. Melanie Colaianne gave an update on the television special that will be showing the videos from the 2006 GSA finalists . It has been pushed to the first quarter of2007 because the television stations were already booked. These spots will be used to promote volunteerism, including one spot that will focus on Mentor Michigan. The Hands on Network has infonnation on their website promoting volunteerism and will be expanding it to identify organizations in Michigan so that when people watch the special, they can get infonnation on Michigan organizations from the website. C. Mentor Michigan - Ms. VanDam shared infom1ation on National Mentoring Month (January) . The theme will be "Motivating Men to Mentor" so the focus will be on men . There will be a toolkit on the Mentor Michigan website with infom1ation on local activities, media information, etc. There will be a recruitment challenge for mentoring organizations to recruit men as mentors with incentives available for those organizations that participate. Ms. VanDam also shared that during January, the organizations that operate 211 programs will pilot in Detroit, Grand Rapids, and Jackson the option of calling 211 to look for mentoring opportunities. 4 �D. Michigan Campus Compact/Learn and Serve Grant - Amy Smitter thanked the MCSC for helping to make the grant happen. She gave background on Chainnan Mulhern's challenge to the college presidents to become more involved in mentoring. As a result, they set a goal to recruit 1500 new mentors in the state and are at 97% of their goal. She shared information on the Michigan Campus Compact's new program provided by the grant, Investing in College Futures (ICF). The program will strengthen the ability of colleges and universities to serve the needs ofMichigan's youth and institutionalize service and service-learning. It will help create a cycle of service and also help more youth see college in their future. Ms. Smitter introduced Michelle Snitgen who is the program coordinator for ICF. She gave background on the colleges/universities and their programs that have received grants.

Each year AmeriCorps members from all around the state join together for two days of training, teambuilding, and service. By the end of the second day, projects are completed, visibly demonstrating the power of volunteers in action. The project is a partnership with the Michigan Community Service Commission (MCSC), Habitat for Humanity of Michigan, and Habitat for Humanity of SE Michigan. The 2007 Signature Service Project will take place in Detroit on June 6 and 7. Over 200 AmeriCorps members will come together to assist with the landscaping and construction of several homes. The MCSC builds a culture of service by providing vision and resources to strengthen communities through volunteerism. Michigan 's AmeriCorps is similar to a domestic Peace Corps. AmeriCorps programs are housed within nonprofit organizations, schools, and other agencies throughout the state. Individuals, called members, tutor and mentor children, help the homeless, feed the hungry, protect the environment, and more. In an average year, AmeriCorps members help improve the lives of more than 110,000 people and recruit approximately 26,000 volunteers. �To: ConnectMichigan Alliance, Board of Trustees Michigan Nonprofit Association, Board of Trustees From: Strategic Alliance Committee Date: January 31 , 2007 Re: Recommendations of the Strategic Alignment Committee Regarding the Potential Merger between C01mectMichigan Alliance and Michigan Nonprofit Association Cc: Kyle Caldwell, President and CEO, ConnectMichigan Alliance Sam Singh, President and CEO, Michigan Nonprofit Association The Strategic Alliance Committee would like to express its appreciation to the Board of Trustees for the ConnectMichigan Alliance and the Michigan Nonprofit Association, for opportunity help the Michigan Nonprofit Association and ConnectMichigan Alliance think strategically and methodically about the possibility of closer alignment up to and including a merger. At our January 10, 2007 meeting, you discussed that a merger between the CMA and MNA has merit and should proceed. In addition, you instructed the staff to develop a draft reconm1endation for a merger focused on the following principles: • • • • • An alignment or merger process must emphasize a joining and amplification of missions and not solely a merger of organizational structures. Any process of alignment must create a process or structure that can ensure that proceeds of the CMA Endowment and related funds housed at the Capital Region Community Foundation must be expended in line with the intention of the donors. The leadership of the Volunteer Centers of Michigan and Michigan Campus Compact (affiliate organizations) should be consulted and concems appropriately addressed in the merger process. The missions ofMNA and CMA are compatible, but the MNA mission, brand strength, systems and longevity make it best suited to serve and the overarching organizational structure in a merger. The determination of leadership for the merged organization should focus creative solutions and initially be limited to the existing leadership of the two merging organizations . Attached you will find a draft plan that proposes a merger of CMA and MNA with these principles in mind. The plan focuses on four areas: governance, leadership, stewardship, culture. Finally, we have developed a revised timeline for the merger process. We look forward to your feedback on this plan. 1 � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

To "age out" of the foster care system means youth are discharged to "self' rather than to a family they can count on and call their own. While displaying many resilient and resourceful characteristics, the majority of youth "aging out" are not adequately equipped for life's responsibilities and they lack an essential network of relationships and resources. This collaborative effort between DHS and MSU addresses the need for youth in transition to have one or more caring adults involved in and guiding their transition from foster care to independence. The intention of this pilot initiative is to offer not only mentoring relationships for youth in transition but to train and support mentors to be actively engaged in transition planning and guidance with the youth and their circle of caregivers. This pilot program, a collaboration between the Michigan Department of Human Services, National Governors' Policy Academy on Transitioning Youth, Michigan Youth Opportunities Initiative (MYOI), Michigan State University, MSU Extension Offices and the 4-H Programs, will be delivered to foster youth residing in the MYOI Northern Region which includes the following counties: Alcona, Alpena, Antrim, Benzie, Charlevoix, Cheboygan, Crawford, Emmet, Grand Traverse, Iasco, Kalkaska, Leelanau, Mackinac, Manistee, Missaukee, Montmorency, Ogemaw, Oscoda, Otsego, Presque Isle, Roscommon, and Wexford. It is anticipated that the pilot will provide a model that can be replicated across Michigan at all MYOI sites, positively affecting the lives of the almost 5,800 adolescents (age 14 & older) who reside in Michigan 's foster care system. Proposal This proposal requests support (financial and/or in-kind) from the Michigan Community Service Commission to implement the foster youth mentoring pilot. Program components may include: • • Use of Americorps volunteers utilizing best practice mentoring model, Mentor Michigan ~ Assist in recruiting , training , support and retention of mentors and mentormentee relationships ~ Collaborative planning and oversight with MYOI and MSUE Coordinators Development of sustainability plan ~ Strategic recruitment of mentors targets local businesses, corporations, civic and service organizations, foundations and other funding sources ~ Use of evaluation data to demonstrate efficacy and ease of replication � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

During the 2005-2006 school year, MCSC worked with 25 grantees to support servicelearning programming throughout the state. RMC Research conducted a statewide evaluation to examine service-learning implementation and its impact on a range of student outcomes. Methods Data were collected using pre-/post-surveys from service-learning and comparison students and surveys administered to service-learning teachers at the end of the school year. The evaluation includes data from: • • • Surveys of236 service-learning participants and 20 comparison students in Grades 3-5; Surveys of640 service-learning participants and 119 comparison students in Grades 6-12; and Surveys of 56 service-learning teachers. Constructs that were measured included school engagement; school attachment; valuing school; community engagement; civic knowledge, skills, and dispositions; service-learning engagement; and service-learning quality. Demographic information, program duration, and data about other program characteristics were also collected. Results Service-learning programming was widely implemented a nd d iverse. Based on reports by grantees, 38,780 students participated in service-learning programs during the 2005-2006 school year. About two thirds of teachers indicated that projects included direct contact with service populations (e.g., providing services such as tutoring or working with senior citizens) and indirect contact with service populations (e.g. , environmental projects, food/clothing drives, or similar projects). About two thirds of teachers indicated that service-learning projects involved expressing an opinion or research. The majority of teachers indicated that some or all servicelearning activities were required. Student and teacher ratings indicated high quality service-learning p rograms. Teacher ratings of service-learning quality were strong across several indicators. Average ratings were highest in the areas of relevance to students, providing challenging activities, and inclusion of a civics component. Ratings were slightly lower for inclusion of an assessment component and RMC Research Corporation , Denver, CO Michigan Learn and Serve Evaluation �involvement of community members and organizations. Student survey ratings also indicated that programs were implemented with high quality. Service-learning activities were closely tied to academic curricula and standards. Teachers indicated that service-learning activities were associated with an average of two subject areas and that an average of two of six activities (i.e., research, project planning, service delivery, reflection, evaluation, and celebration activities) were fully integrated with academic curriculum. Service-learning activities were most frequently associated with social studies and reading/language arts, followed by mathematics and science. Three fourths of teachers reported that service-learning activities were mostly or completely linked with Michigan curriculum frameworks. Service-learning participants demonstrated significant increases in civic knowledge scores and ratings of civic dispositions over time. Among service-learning participants in Grades 3-5, there were statistically significant increases in civic knowledge scores and ratings over time for the items: Students my age can make the world better and I can make a difference in my neighborhood or town. Small, but significant, decreases were found for student ratings of school engagement. While average ratings of community engagement and civic skills were high, these outcomes tended to remain the same over time. There were no significant differences in outcomes for service-learning participants and comparison students. Teachers and students attributed a range of benefits to service-learning. Teachers believed that participation in service-learning helped students develop a range of civic dispositions and skills including increased respect for others, awareness of community issues, and belief that they can make a difference. Teachers were slightly less likely to agree that service-learning had a positive impact on academic performance, school attendance, and discipline referrals. Students identified several areas in which they acquired skills and experience as a result of participating in service-learning. Nearly two thirds of students indicated having acquired work experience, followed by job skills (56%), and career awareness (41 %). Reading skills, writing skills, and tutoring skills were each reported to have been acquired by over one fourth of service-learning participants. Student measures of service-learning engagement and quality were significantly associated with student outcomes. Student ratings of service-learning engagement were significantly and positively associated with measures of school engagement, school attachment, valuing school, civic dispositions, and civic knowledge. Similarly, student ratings of service-learning quality were positively associated with school engagement, school attachment, community engagement, and civic dispositions. Teacher ratings of service-learning quality and other measures of service-learning implementation were not consistently associated with student outcomes. Overall, teacher ratings of quality and service-learning implementation measures did not consistently moderate student outcomes. However, six implementation measures were associated with positive student outcomes: integration with academic curriculum; presence of a civics component; presence of a reflection component; strong subject area connections; a requirement that all students participate; and the total number of weeks students engaged in service-learning activities. Michigan Learn and Serve Evaluation ii RMC Research Corporation , Denver, CO �The intensity and duration of service-learning projects varied substantially by classroom. The average teacher spent about 15% of his/her overall instructional time on service-learning. The average service-learning project lasted 13 weeks, with an average of about four hours per week. While teachers indicated that they spent as much as 90% of their classroom time on service-learning, over one third of teachers indicated that they spent 5% or less. Recommendations 1. Continue to encourage service-learning teachers to implement more intensive servicelearning pt·ojects. 2. Examine aspects of service-learning implementation that were associated with student outcomes. 3. Enhance professional development related to high quality service-learning, with an emphasis on reflective practice, assessment, and involvement of community members and organizations.

GRANHOLM, Governor MICHIGAN COMMUNITY SERVICE COMMISSION Chairperson Daniel G. Mulhern 1048 Pierpont, Suite 4 Lansing, Michigan 48913 Telephone: (517) 335-4295 F~: (517)373-4977 www.michigan.gov/mcsc Executive Director Janet C. Lawson MEMORANDUM TO: Members of the Michigan Community Service Commission FROM: Paula Kaiser VanDam, Acting Executive Director DATE: February 21, 2007 RE: Executive Director's Report The past few months have been exciting for us. Below please find a review of our most recent accomplishments. National Service FY07 & FYOB National Service Appropriations On February 161h, the President signed into law H.J.Res. 20, which provides funding through September 30, 2007 for projects and activities of the Federal government. The bill includes $884.1 million for the Corporation for National and Community Service and its programs for fiscal year 2007. The Corporation is currently working on the breakdown of the figures for AmeriCorps formula funding. Our Learn and Serve funding is the same as FY06. The President's FY 2008 budget request includes $828 million for national service. This is a reduction of$55.8 million from FY07. Please see the FY08 Budget Request Summary for more detail. AMERJCORPS AmeriCorps Week National AmeriCorps Week is a weeklong event designed to bring more Americans into service, salute AmeriCorps members and alums for their powerful impact, and thank the community partners who make AmeriCorps possible. The first-ever National AmeriCorps Week is scheduled for May 13-20, 2007 and will mark a historic milestone as the 500,000th AmeriCorps member will take the pledge to �"get things done for America." Michigan ' s AmeriCorps programs are proud to be planning significant service projects in order to provide "I 00 Hours of Power" to make a difference in communities around the state. The MCSC is also sponsoring an onsite service project at the Nonprofit SuperConference in Lansing on May 15-16. All conference participants will be asked to volunteer at least 15 minutes of time during the two-day event. A comprehensive list of Michigan's AmeriCorps Week projects and events will be available soon. AmeriCorps Alums AmeriCorps Alums is a national network of civic leaders who are actively engaged in shaping their communities. The mission of AmeriCorps Alums as an organization is to connect, support and mobilize AmeriCorps alums in order to strengthen our communities and our nation. Over the past year, Michigan has established a statewide alums network in addition to regional alums chapters in West Michigan, Northern Michigan, Ann Arbor, and metro Detroit. We are inviting current members, alums, and friends of national service to get connected at www.lifetimeofservice.org. In the next few months, we will be doing additional outreach to Michigan's AmeriCorps alums through a letter of introduction, a newsletter highlighting all Michigan 's AmeriCorps programs, and several outreach events. Our goal is to have all Michigan ' s AmeriCorps members remain engaged and serving communities long after their year of service bas ended. We also hope to have them involved in AmeriCorps week activities. LEARN AND SERVE Urban Service-Learning Initiative In March, the MCSC will offer a round of grants to schools in Detroit. Four grants averaging $10,000 will be available to schools though a peer reviewed application process. Each school will be requested to identify a team of2-5 teachers and administrators who will participate in the initiative. Applicants will be allowed to use the funds for things such as: teacher mini-grants, release time, meeting materials, supplies, transportation and resources. As with other Learn and Serve Michigan funding, the grant must allow individual sites the flexibility to determine the best use of their funds given their unique needs. The Request for Proposals (RFP) will be offered to selected schools identified by organizations such as The League, The Skillman Foundation's Good Schools Resource Center at Marygrove College and Wayne State University. Once selected, school teams will be provided a teacher mentor, on-site professional development and a scholarship to attend the National Urban Service-Learning Conference at Wayne State University. This conference is an event of the National Youth Leadership Council and will be co-sponsored by the MCSC and the MCC. The Institute Service-Learning and Civic Engagement On February 8-9, 2007 nearly 400 K-12 teachers, college faculty and students from ten states attended the 11th Annual Institute: Service-Learning and Civic Engagement. The event was held on the campus of Schoolcraft College in Livonia. Participants could chose from nearly 40 75-minute workshops, four 2 Y2 - hour clinics and 22 roundtable sessions. The event was complimented by the annual Service-Learning and Community Service Award Ceremony and Dinner where the MCSC honored Dr. Gregory Baracy, Superintendent of Wayne-Westland Community Schools, Lowell High School ' s Freshman Center service-learning project, Kari Simon-Pieters, teacher at St. Johns High School, George Mikla, student from L'Anse Creuse High School and Deborah Wagner, Grant Writer at Ionia County Intermediate School District. 2 �STATEWIDE INCLUSION INITIATIVE The MCSC receives funds from the Corporation for the placement, reasonable accommodation, and auxiliary services for members and potential members with disabilities, serving in AmeriCorps State and AmeriCorps National programs. In Michigan, our initiative focuses on the inclusion of individuals with disabilities in all national service programs. We have implemented a Statewide Inclusion Team to help us with this initiative. The mission of Michigan's National & Community Service Statewide Inclusion Team is to promote and support full participation of people with disabilities in all aspects of national service. This is accomplished through collaboration between individuals with disabilities, disability advocacy and service organizations, and Michigan's national service programs. The inclusion team meets bi-monthly and recently developed a strategic plan with the following goals: o o o Promote Michigan's national service programs as an opportunity and a bridge to skill-building, career development, and community integration. Develop ongoing state and local level relationships between stakeholders in the disability and service communities that promote the involvement of people with disabilities in National Service programs. Identify and address local, state and federal policies and practices that present barriers to inclusion and integration in National Service programs. Statewide Service STATE BUDGET The Governor released her budget on February 81h. In FY07 we were awarded $1,255,900 in general funds from the state. These funds go to support the general operation of the commission and also include the $250,000 for the Volunteer Investment Grant. For FY08, the budget proposes $1,308,800 in general funds for MCSC. The additional $52,900 is for the economics for increase in salaries and benefits. Please remember this is only the beginning of the budget process. We will keep you updated as the process progresses. MENTOR MICHIGAN January wrapped up another successful National Mentoring Month for us. This month's activities included a pilot with 211, the Men in Mentoring recruitment Challenge, the Mentor Michigan Corporate Honor Roll launch, participation in some of the Governor's inaugural events, several local mentoring events, and media outreach by the First Gentleman. For additional details please see the 2007 Michigan's Mentoring Month Highlights. We are pleased to announce that we received an additional $100,000 from John Hancock Financial Services to support our recruitment of male mentors. We also received nearly $100,000 from the proceeds of the Governor's Inaugural events. CONNECTMICHIGAN ALLIANCE/MICHIGAN NONPROFIT ASSOCIATION Senior management of the Michigan Nonprofit Association (MNA) and the ConnectMichigan Alliance (CMA) recommended to their respective boards an investigative dialogue toward determining the possible development of closer mission alignment, increased efficiency and assured sustainability 3 �through a merger of the two organizations. A small committee representing all of the Alliance partners has been formed. Janet Lawson and Dr. Russ Mawby have been representing MCSC on the committee. The committee has recommended the merger of the two organizations with CMA being folded under MNA. The Michigan Campus Compact and Volunteer Centers of Michigan will become affiliate organizations under MNA. There would be a separate funding advisory group that will determine bow the proceeds from the endowment will be spent on an annual basis. They are proposing each of the four alliance partners will be equally represented on the funding advisory board. They are still finalizing details related to governance, leadership, stewardship, and organizational culture. They will be presenting the recommendations to their boards the first week of March. 4 � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

VanDam, Acting Executive Director DATE: January 19, 2007 RE: Summary of January 19, 2007 Executive Committee Meeting The following is a summary of the meeting of the Michigan Community Service Commission Executive Committee held via conference call on Friday, January 19, 2007. The meeting was called to order at 10:00 a.m. Members present: Chainnan Dan Mulhern, Rob Collier, Vice-Chair; Russ Mawby, Bernard Parker and Kari Pardoe. Staff present: Paula VanDam and Janice Harvey. Marcy Bishop and Mark Mullaney were present during AmeriCorps funding recommendations discussion. Approval of AmeriCorps Funding (s ee memo dated January 18, 2007 from Paula VanDam) Paula VanDam gave an overview of Michigan's AmeriCorps Competitive New Applications. The CNCS has $55 million to support new competitive grants for the 2007-08 program year. There is no guarantee that the MCSC will receive any of the competitive dollars. We will be notified in May whether any MCSC programs will be funded with competitive dollars. There are also AmeriCorps formula dollars based on the state's population but we haven't received our allotment but anticipate it to be similar to last year $2,723 ,228. The MCSC staff recommends the following applicants be included in the MCSC ' s competitive application package: BHK Child Development Board ($676,407), City Year, Inc. , ($580,744), Communities in Schools Detroit ($327,600), Good Samaritan Ministries ($170,369), Habitat for Humanity ($387,312), Huron Pines ($125 ,805), Jumpstart for Young Children ($142,434), Michigan Department of Agriculture ($172 ,680) Michigan Primary Care Association ($339,410), and MSU Extension ($700,638). This is a total of$3 ,623,399. �Chairman Mulhern asked for a motion to support the staff recommendations for the AmeriCorps Competitive Application. Commissioner Mawby moved to support the motion and Commissioner Pardoe seconded the motion. The motion passed unanimously. Paula VanDam explained the second staff recommendation to allow the MSU Extension to modify their match requirement and meet the Year Four match requirement. The MSU Extension is applying for its seventh year of funding and has been asked by the MCSC to consider merging the Mentor Michigan AmeriCorps program, operated by ConnectMichigan Alliance, with their mentoring AmeriCorps program. MSU Extension agreed to take over the program but was concerned about being able to meet the Year 7 match requirements due to the size of the merged program (now 55 members and a budget of$750,000). They requested that we allow them to come in at Year 4 match requirement and then continue to move up the match chart over the next three years . Chairman Mulhern asked for a motion to support the staff recommendations to modify the MSU Extension match requirement. Commissioner Parker moved to support the motion and Commissioner Mawby seconded the motion. The motion passed unanimously. Paula VanDam explained the third staff recommendation for the Michigan ' s AmeriCorps Education Award Only Application. Staff recommends funding ConnectMichigan Alliance at $36,000. Chairman Mulhern asked for a motion to support the staff recommendations for the AmeriCorps Education Only Application. Commissioner Mawby moved to support the motion and Commissioner Parker seconded the motion. The motion passed unanimously. ConnectMichigan Alliance I Michigan Nonprofit Association Update Commissioner Mawby gave an update on the progress. He shared that the leadership and boards of both organizations are actively engaged and that it is progressing well. The committee is moving into the next phase and will be making a number of recommendations at their next meeting (scheduled for early February). Everyone agrees that the concept is good and are giving careful thought to protecting the endowment. They have recommended the creation of an Endowment Advisory Group, which will work with the new organization and the Capital Region Community Foundation to monitor the use of the funds. They are also looking at a merger of the missions of the organizations, which are very similar. This will create efficiency and momentum in bringing them together. It was also discussed that MNA would be the entity of which CMA would be moved within. The committee will look at the leadership and governance issues at the February meeting. Agenda fo r February 21-22, 2007 Board Meeting and Retreat Paula VanDam went through the agenda for the February retreat and meeting. Commissioners agreed that it will be a full and productive retreat. They suggested that an MCSC staff organization chart and a brief photo and bio of each of the Commissioners would be helpful in getting to know each other better. �Update on Mentor Month Activities Paula VanDam shared the Mentor Michigan will be receiving the proceeds from the Governor' s Inaugural events. The Providers Council members will discuss the use of the funds at their January meeting (possible grants to mentoring organizations). Chairman Mulhern has been attending mentoring events and participating in media interviews promoting mentoring. The meeting was adjourned at 11 :00 am. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Between then and the devastation of Hurricane Katrina four years later, Americans increased their volunteer activities in their communities significantly, from 59.8 million Americans volunteering in 2002 to 65.4 million in 2005. This upward trend in volunteering represents a once-in-a-generation opportunity to tap into Americans' ingenuity, civic mindedness and generosity to build powerful new solutions to old problems in our communities. America needs more mentors saving our children and our country from generations of hopelessness, poverty and prison. We need more people caring for frail elderly, keeping them independent, healthy and out of institutions and despair. We need more college students reaching back into their communities to help other high school students succeed and follow them into college. In short, American communities need more volunteers-and we need them doing meaningful work that solves significant challenges. Although the Corporation is a Federal agency, we long ago realiz~d that the most in1portant work toward building momentum around service actually happens at the state and local levels. That is why we have a strong network of field offices supporting every state, and led by State Office Directors. That is why we fund a State Service Commission in every state and require its members to be appointed by that state's Governor. And, that is why we place such a high priority on supporting volunteer centers and other volunteer infrastructure and networks serving cities and states. NAT'io·NAL & COMMUNITY SERVICEa:c: Volunteering in America : State Trends and Rankings 5 �This report, Volunteering in America: State Trends and Rankings, represents an important milestone in building service and volunteering momentum at the state level. Using first-time-available data funded by the Corporation and collected by the Census Bureau, the report presents an overview of volunteering at the national, regional, and state level - and includes state rankings on important indicators such as volunteering rate and intensity, young adult and college student volunteering rates, and volunteering among seniors. For each state and the District of Columbia, the report contains a two-page state profile displaying information on the number of people volunteering, the volunteering rate, the number of hours volunteered, the primary organizations at which volunteers perform work, and the types C?f activities volunteers perform in each state. This is the first time that this level of detailed information on volunteering has been published for each state. Together with our partners, including volunteer and service-driven organizations across the country, we are committed to working toward a national goal of expanding the number of Americans who volunteer from 65.4 million to 75 million Americans by 2010. We hope this report will be a powerful tool to assist states and communities develop a strategy to increase the level of individual engagement in volunteer activities and build the infrastructure of nonprofits and communities to support more volunteer opportunities. David Eisner '·'1\T'iONAu~ 6 Volunteering in America : St ate Trends and Rankings COMMUNITY SERVICEa.::J: �Introduction The Corporation for National and Community Service (the Corporation), a federal agency established in 1993, strives to engage Americans of all ages and backgrounds in voluntary service opportunities to their communities and country. The Corporation is the nation's largest grant maker supporting national and community service programs and volunteerism. To support their efforts and provide a valuable resource tool for states, the Corporation and its contractor, RTI International, have produced a report on volunteering in the United States. The report presents data on volunteering and volunteers in an easily accessible format that will be useful to people-whether experienced researchers, policy makers, or just concerned citizens-interested in learning more about volunteering in the states. Data in the report were obtained from the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) within the U.S. Department of Labor. At the request of USA Freedom Corps and through the support of the Corporation, the BLS, through the U.S. Census Bureau, has included a "volunteering" supplement in its Current Population Survey (CPS) since 2002. The CPS is a state-based survey administered to approximately 60,000 households nationwide to gather information on employment among the nation's civilian noninstitutionalized population, age 16 or older. CPS data also include demographic characteristics such as age, sex, race, marital status, and educational attainment. NAf'ioNAL&: COMMUNITY SERVICEaD: Volunteering in America : State Trends and Rankings 7 �ORGANIZATION OF THE REPORT This report is divided into four sections. The National and Regional Profiles provide a general overview of volunteering in the United States and the four U.S. Census regions. The State Rankings of Volunteering section con tains maps of the states color-coded into quintiles on the basis of selected volunteering indicators and for subpopulations of special interest. Each map is also accompanied with the volunteer rates or median hours for each state that served as the basis for the state rankings map. The State Profiles provide information on volunteering and volunteers for each of the 50 states and the District of Columbia. The profiles include data on the number of volunteers and the rate of volunteering during 2002 to 2005 and provide the volunteering rate by selected demographic characteristics, the number of hours volunteered annually, the main types of volunteering organizations identified, and the top volunteering activities reported. The final section contains a technical note with information on the data and methodology employed in the report. Detailed national, regional, and state-level tables for the 4-year period (2002 to 2005) are provided on the Internet at www.nationalservice.gov. These tables report the estimated number and rate of volunteers by selected characteristics, volunteers by annual hours of volunteer activities and selected characteristics, volunteers by type of main organization for which the volunteer activities were performed and selected characteristics, types of volunteer activities in that state for the main organization for which activities were performed and selected characteristics, and volunteers by how they became involved with the main organization for which volunteer activities were performed and selected characteristics. NATlONAUS;r 8 Volunteering in America : State Trends and Ranki ngs COMMUN ITY SERVI CEa:c::: �BRIEF HISTORY OF THE CPS SURVEYVOLUNTEER SUPPLEMENT TI1e Volunteering in the United States survey has collected annual, national-leveL and state-level data on the prevalence of volunteering and the characteristics of volunteers since 2002. The September CPS Volunteer Supplement is conducted annually through a partnership between the Corporation, USA Freedom Corps, and United States Census and the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) at the U.S. Department of Labor. The Volunteer Supplement provides information on the total number of individuals in the United States involved in unpaid volunteer activities, measures of the frequency or intensity with which individuals volunteer, types of organizations that facilitate volunteerism, activities in which volunteers participate, and reasons why former volunteers no longer do volunteer work. The Corporation plans to continue to fund the survey to gather important information on volunteering trends in the United States. NATIONAL& COMMUNITY SERV ICEa::rl: Volunteering in America : State Trends and Rankings 9 �National an Regiona r ifiles OVERVIEW The national and regional profiles that follow provide readers an opportunity to examine volunteering at both the national level and the U.S. Census regional level. In these profiles of the Nation, Midwest, Northeast, South, and West, we present a number of key findings on volunteering in the nation and individual regions, including the numbers of volunteers and the volunteering rates for each of the past 4 years. In addition, we present, for 2005, volunteer rates according to demographic characteristics, the distribution of hours volunteered, the types of main organizations at which volunteer activities were performed, and the most common activities performed by volunteers. These data are presented through a series of graphics, a table, and bulleted findings. The first figure- Volunteering in (Nation/Region)-is a vertical bar chart that shows the estimated number of volunteers for each of the 4 years from 2002 to 2005. Population growth should be considered when contemplating trends in the number of volunteers. It is worth noting, as a word of caution, that simple comparisons of numbers of volunteers between regions and years can be misleading because of population differences and adjustments made to sample weights each year. Please see the BLS section of the Technical Note for more information. Additionally, because of the variability of the estimates, caution should be used when interpreting trends and comparing differences NAf'loNAL& 10 Volunteering in America : Sta te Trends and Ran kin gs COMMUNITY SERVICEc::G'J: �between the years because the trend or comparison may not be statistically significant. The second figure-(Nation/Region) Volunteering Rate-also a vertical bar chart, shows the estimated rate of volunteers per 100 noninstitutionalized civilians 16 years of age or older. This rate represents the percentage of the population volunteering and is the most stable basis for year-to-year comparisons. Similar to the first figure, caution should be used when interpreting trends and comparing differences between the yearly estimated rates because the trend or comparison may not be statistically significant. The table- (Nation/Region) Volunteering Rates and Annual Hours per Typical Volunteer, 2005-provides the rates of volunteering across select sociodemographic characteristics for the 2005 time period. The annual hours is the median or mid-point number of hours among persons who volunteered in 2005. Persons who did not report volunteering or provide their intensity of volunteering (in hours) are not counted. The third figure-How Much Time Do People in (Nation/Region) Spend Volunteering?-shows in a horizontal bar graph the intensity of volunteering through the distribution of annual hours per volunteer in 2005. We also provide the median number of hours volunteered annually in the accompanying text bullets for each region . The fourth figure- Where Do People in (Nation/Region) Volunteer?illustrates in a pie chart the distribution of volunteers according to the types of main organizations through which volunteers donated their time in 2005. The main organization is the organization for which the volunteer worked the most hours during the year. The final figure-What Activities Do (Nation/Region) Volunteers Perform?-shows in a horizontal bar graph the distribution of volunteers according to the top six volunteering activities reported in 2005. Individuals could have chosen more than one type of volunteering activity, so these percentages do not total to 100 percent.

Each map presents a single volunteering measure in different shades of the same color. The shades correspond to each state's rank on the particular volunteering measure reported, the darker the shade, the higher the state's ranking. On the opposite page of each map, we also present a table displaying each state along with its rate and ranking for the corresponding volunteering measure. States are listed in order of the highest rate to the lowest rate in each of these tables. In order to increase the reliability of the estimates and ensure more accurate comparisons across states for each of these measures, we used a combined 3 year data file (2003 to 2005). While using 3 years of data increases the reliability of the estimates, caution should still be used when interpreting state rankings as differences between some rankings may not be statistically significant. The six maps are: 1. Volunteering Rates by State. This map provides an overview of the volunteering rates across the states from 2003 to 2005. 2. Volunteering Intensity by State.

NAT·i·o·NAL& COMMUNITY SERV ICEI'X'C': Volunteering in America : State Trends and Rankings 35 �ta e Profiles OVERVIEW The state profiles that follow provide readers an opportunity to examine volunteering at the state level. In these profiles, we present a number of key findings on volunteering in the individual states, including the numbers of volunteers and the volunteering rates for each of the past 4 years. In addition, we present, for the most recent 3-year period, volunteer rates according to demographic characteristics, the distribution of hours volunteered, the types of main organizations at which volunteer activities were performed, and the most common activities performed by volunteers in the state. These data are presented through a series of graphics, a table, and bulleted findings. The first figure- Volunteering in (State)-is a vertical bar chart that shows the estimated number of volunteers for each of the 4 years from 2002 to 2005. Population growth, particularly for states that have experienced higher population growth relative to the national growth rate during the 4-year period, should be considered when contemplating trends in a state in the counts of volunteers. It is worth noting, as a word of caution, that simple comparisons of numbers of volunteers between states can be misleading because of population differences and adjustments made to sample weights each year. Please see the BLS section of the Technical Note for more information. Additionally, because of the variability of the estimates, caution should be used when interpreting trends and comparing differences between the years because the trend or comparison may not be statistically significant. NATIONAL& 36 Volunteering in America : State Trends and Rankings COMMUNITY SERVICEa.Tl: �·The second figure-(State) Volunteering Rate-also a vertical bar chart, shows the estimated rate of volunteers per 100 noninstitutionalized civilians 16 years of age or older. This rate represents the percentage of the population volunreering and is the most stable basis for year-to-year and state-to-state comparisons. Similar to the first figure, caution should be used when interpreting trends and comparing differences between the yearly estimated rates because the trend or comparison may not be statistically significant. The table-(State) Volunteering Rates and Annual Hours per Typical Volunteer, 2003-2005-provides the rates of volunteering and annual hours volunteered across select sociodemographic characteristics for the 2003 to 2005 time period. The annual hours is the median or mid-point number of hours among persons who volunteered in a given year during 2003-2005. Persons who did not report volunteering or provide their intensity of volunteering (in hours) are not counted. For this table and the remaining three figures, we pooled the three most recent years of data to increase our sample sizes and the reliability of findings over what would be possible reporting one year alone. However, estimates of Non-White volunteer rates were not reported for states whose populations of these minorities were very small. The third figure-How Much Time Do People in (State) Spend Volunteering?-shows in a horizontal bar graph the intensity of volunteering through the distribution of annual hours per volunteer during 2003 to 2005. We also provide the median number of hours volunteered annually in the accompanying text bullets for each state. The fourth figure-Where Do People in (State) Volunteer?-illustrates in a pie chart the distribution of volunteers according to the types of main organizations through which volunteers donated their time during 2003 to 2005. The main organization is the organization for which the volunteer worked the most hours during the year. The final figure-What Activities Do (State) Volunteers Perform?shows in a horizontal bar graph the distribution of volunteers according to the top six volunteering activities reported during 2003 to 2005. Individuals could have chosen more than one type of volunteering activity, so these percentages do not total to 100 percent.

OTHER RELATED RESEARCH The following reports can be found in the Research and Policy section at www.nationalservice.gov Highlights from the Youth Helping America Series: • America's youth are engaging in their communities at substantial levels. In 2004, 15.5 million youth aged 12 to 18 volunteered with an organization, contributing over 1.3 billion hours of service. • A youth from a family where at least one parent volunteers is almost twice as likely to volunteer as a youth with no family members who volunteer, and nearly three times as likely to volunteer regularly. • Youth who attend religious services regularly are nearly twice as likely to be regular volunteers as those who do not attend services. 38 percent of youth, an estimated 10.6 million teenagers, have engaged in community service as part of a school activity. • Youth who report current or past participation in high quality service-learning courses are almost three times as likely to believe they can make a great deal of difference in their community than youth who participated in school-based service without any of the quality elements of service-learning. Highlights from Volunteer Mentoring Youth: Implication for Closing the Mentoring Gap: • Mentors prominently volunteer through religious organizations (43%). • Black volunteers are more likely than Caucasian volunteers to mentor youth. • Volunteers 16 to 24 years old are the most likely age group to engage in mentoring. Highlights from Volunteer Management Capacity in America's Charities and Congregations: • 90% of charities and congregations say that volunteers increase the quality of their service, reduce costs, and increase public support for their organization. • Three volunteer management practices produce higher volunteer retention rates, specifically 1) recognition activities, 2) screening and matching volunteers for assignments, and 3) training and professional development for volunteers. These statistics come from Volunteering in America: State Trends and Rankings, released by the Corporation for National and Community Service in June, 2006. Data in the report were obtained from the US Census Bureau and Bureau of Labor Statistics through a "volunteering supplemenr to the Current Population Survey (CPS) from 2002 to 2005. The volunteer supplement to the CPS is administered annually to approximately 60,000 households nationwide. 3 Volunteering in Amer ic a: State Trends and Rank ings Nfi.'T'iONAL& COMMUNITY SERV ICEr::a:z:: � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Since the terrorist attacks of September 11 , 2001, the nation bas witnessed a significant upsurge in volunteers, particularly among this demographic. Both on campuses and in surrounding communities, millions of college students are participating in a wide range of volunteer service activities, from teaching and mentoring children from disadvantaged circumstances, to raising funds for worthy causes, to helping their fellow Americans recover from hurricanes and other disasters. The number of coUege students who volunteer is up by approximately 20 percent from 2002 to 2005 The mission of the Corporation for ational and Community Service is to improve lives, strengthen communities, and foster civic engagement through service and volunteering. As part of that mission, the Corporation makes a significant investment in nurturing a culture of service on college campuses. Building on that support, the Corporation is working with other federal agencies, colleges and universities, higher education and student associations, and nonprofit organizations to encourage even greater levels of college student volunteering and to ensure that college graduates embark on a lifetime of service. Our goal is to increase the number of college students volunteering each year, reaching 5 million by 2010. To identify key trends in college student volunteering and to understand their implications for growing volunteering among college students, the Corporation has produced a new report, tided Col/egf Students Helping America. The report analyzes data collected from 2002 to 2005 as part of the Current Population Survey (CPS), a comprehensive and scientifically rigorous survey of 60,000 American households conducted by the U.S. Census Bureau and the Bureau of Labor Statistics. With the Corporation's support, the Census Bureau has administered a volunteer supplement to the CPS each September since 2002.1 For the purposes of this analysis, college students were defined as individuals between 16 and 24 years of age who, at the tiffie of the survey, were enrolled in a post-secondary higher education institution. To read or download the ful report, visit www.nationalservice.gov. The number of college students volunteering grew by nearly 600,000 from 2.7 million in 2002 to 3.3 million in 2005. The growth rate of college student volunteers (approximately 20%) is more than double the growth rate of all adult volunteers (9%) . In 2005, approximately 30.2 percent of college students volunteered, exceeding the volunteer rate for the general adult population of 28.8 percent. The growth in college volunteering has primarily been generated by youth who attended high school or were firstyear college students during the terrorist attacks of 9111 The vast majority (84%) of current college student volunteers were of high-school age (between 14 to 18 years old) in 2001. Since September 2001, the overall percent of college students who volunteer has increased from 27.1 percent to 30.2 percent. The bulk of the increase in the college student volunteering rate comes from the difference in the volunteer rates of 18 to 24 year-old college students in 2005 (30.2%) and 18 to 24 year-old college students in 2002 (26.8%). Tutoring and mentoring are the most popular volunteer activities among college students Among college student volunteers, tutoring (26.6%) and mentoring (23 .8%) are the most common volunteer activities. 39.2 percent of black college student volunteers engage in mentoring activities, compared to 22.3 percent of white college student volunteers. Students who work part time volunteer more than students who do not work at aU Volunteer rates are highest among students who work 1-10 hours (46.4%) and 11-15 hours (35%) a week, while students who are not employed volunteer at a con siderably lower rate (29.8%). �EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The volunteering rate declines substantially as college students work more hours each week. Students . who work 31-35 hours and 36-40 hours volunteer at rates of 22.8 percent and 23.2 percent, respectively. 3 College student volunteers are more likely than the general adult volunteer population (27% to 23.4%) to be "episodic" volunteers (volunteering fewer than two weeks per year with their main organization).

As part of our 2006 report Volunteen.ng in Amen·ca: State Trendr and Ronkingr, the Corporation produced the first-ever state volunteer rankings for the overall adult population and college students. Those results are reproduced in the full College Studentr Helping A merica report. Key findings include: Across the 50 states and the District of Columbia, college student volunteer rates ranged from 21.4 percent to 62.9 percent between 2003 and 2005. Six of the 10 states that rank in the top ten based on overall volunteering rates also rank in the top 10 for college student volunteering rates. BUILDING A CULTURE OF COUEGE SERVICE PROALE OF COLLEGE STUDENT VOLUNTEERS Who Volunteers College students follow the national trend in volunteering, with females (33%) volunteering at a higher rate than males (26.8%), and whites (32%) volunteering at a higher rate than students of other races and ethnicities (23.6%). College students are twice as likely to volunteer as individuals of the same age who are not enrolled in an institution of higher education (30.2% and 15.1 % , respectively). Where They Volunteer Nearly a third (31.6%) of college student volunteers serve with educational or youth services organizations, compared to about a quarter (26.3%) of the general adult volunteer population. Less than a quarter (23.4%) of college student volunteers serve with religious organizations, compared to more than a third (34.8%) of the general adult volunteer population. How They Volunteer 44.1 percent of college student volunteers engage in "regular" volunteering (volunteering 12 or more weeks a year with their main organization). The Corporation for National and Community Service applauds the growing number of higher education institutions that are embracing their civic mission and building strong community connections in new and creative ways. The Corporation believes that colleges and universities and the students that attend them are critical to building a culture of citizenship, service, and responsibility in America. Each year, the Corporation makes a signil:icant investment in building a culture of service on college campuses through: Learn and erve America, .-\meriCorps, VISTA, and Senior Corps grant programs; the provision of training and technical assistance; and Segal AmenCorps Education Awards provided to .AmeriCorps members who use their awards to pay for college tuition or to pay back student loans. In addition, the Corporation is working closely with our various governmental, educational, and nonprofit partners to increase the number of college students who volunteer to 5 million a year by 2010. Key strategies include: Strengthening and e.xpanding our network of intermediary organizations and institutions (Campus Compacts, higher education and student associations, Volunteer Centers, State Service Commissions, faith based and other community-based organizations) that provide key support for service and service-learning. �4 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Ensuring that more college students have opportunities to serve as part of their academic studies through high-quality service-learning, and building the pipeline for future college student volunteers by expanding service-learning in K-12 schools. Encouraging campuses to develop more community service offices, offer more courses and degrees in nonprofit management, and take od1er steps to build connections with community organizations. Increasing the number of college students serving as tutors and mentors to youth from disadvantaged circumstances, particularly to prepare them for high school completion and college attendance. Supporting efforts to expand service opportunities through the Federal Work-Study program. Promoting the value and inlportance of service on campus and reducing barriers that inhibit students from engaging in service. 1 The 2002 data include results from September 2001 to September 2002, thus including volunteering that occurred in the year inlmediately after the September 11 attacks. The September 2005 survey asks individuals not only if they volumeer, but also where they volunteer, how they volunteer and how often they volunteer. Results do not include data since Hurricane Katrina.

In our previous reports, we articulated a need to increase the capacity ofMichigan' s volunteer centers in three critical areas: Leadership- Well over 75% ofMichigan's volunteer centers have experienced a change in lead staff. In addition, over half of all centers are now internal to other agencies limiting the broader community leadership opportunities of a volunteer center. Therefore, VCM felt that it was important to train the existing and future leadership of the volunteer centers in Michigan to help them increase their capacity to build strong organizations, develop and engage an effective board, creatively leverage resources, and empower others to innovate. Technology - Nearly two years ago, CMA developed a goal of gaining universal access for Michigan's volunteers and the opportunities that nonprofits they serve have to offer. Included in this goal was providing a user-friendly technology recruitment solution that might also provide information on the interests, placement and results of the work of Michigan's volunteers. Many volunteer centers were eager to participate in this broad initiative. In addition, the volunteer centers lacked a system to collect, analyze and share critical information on the impact of their work. After a thorough analysis of the volunteer centers (conducted by Bob Kahle), VCM discovered three key challenges to CMA's universal access goal. First, volunteer centers lack a uniform level of technology that would allow for a web-based or other electronic technology solution. Second, volunteer centers were using no fewer than seven different recruitment technology solutions (web-based recruitment and placement systems) that were unable to share information. Finally, the volunteer centers lacked the required knowledge, capacity and in-house expertise necessary to maintain the most up to date hardware and software solutions necessary to collect, analyze and maintain impact and other forms of data necessary to meet their needs. Impact and Coverage- The existing volunteer centers provide "coverage" to roughly 65% of the geography (by county) of the state. However, this figure can be somewhat deceiving. While the majority of the counties are serviced by a volunteer center, what constitutes "coverage" can differ from rural versus urban or more dense population communities. For example, three employees serving the counties of Wayne, Oakland and Macomb is different than nearly five employees serving Muskegon County alone. In addition, we discovered that many communities with existing communities were unable to maintain a volunteer center consistently while those same communities would call for thereestablished of the volunteer center. At the same time, there are several communities in the state that �lack the infrastructure provided by a vohmteer center that would like support in starting up and maintaining the work of one. Finally, as mentioned in the technology section, volunteer centers meet the unique needs of their communities. Their services range from board development to events, online recruitment hosting to Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) outreach, and mentoring programs to student volunteer recognition. However, not all centers provide the same services in the same way. While this variety is healthy for the communities that volunteer centers serve, this dynamic makes "telling their story" and communicating their impact extremely difficult. In the body of this report, you will see the progress VCM and our member centers have made in these areas. FY 2005-2006 As originally submitted the VIG would provide resources for the Volunteer Centers as follows: • • • Enlarge the capacity ofVolunteer Centers to meet the core competencies and Standards of Excellence mandated by the Volunteer Center National Network. Create an information and referral system statewide that will meet the needs oflocal centers while providing impact data to help make the case for service and volunteerism in Michigan. Fortify the sector by assisting Volunteer Centers (VC) in their role of providing support to local nonprofits. In an effort to meet the above goals the VCM undertook a study of the network as described below. Volunteer Center Study The following summarizes the recommendations that carne out of our volunteer center study, conducted by Kahle Research Solutions, during the 2005-2006 year. The outcomes of the study served to confirm the following key fmdings: 1. VCs need to improve their understanding and value placed on the evaluation of their services. Critical to this is their ability to document their work/outcomes in the following areas: • Volunteer Opportunities Registered • Volunteers Referred • Volunteers Placed • Volunteer Hours Worked • Agencies/Business Served • Training/Consulting or other capacity building services provided to the larger community 2. VCs operating specific community-wide programs must begin to document specific program outcome data. 3. VCs should continue to develop success stories that document the impact of the VCs on the larger community. These stories can be used to communicate their success to all of their key constituents including their board members, funding sources, volunteers and partner agencies. In addition to the specific VC recommendations, our consultant also made a series of recommendations related to the VCM as a state association. These included the following: • VCM should conduct an introspective review of its mission, vision, and methods of operation. • Page 2 �• • • • • • VCM should seek to more effectively engage its members and make VCM more relevant and integrated into the success of each center' s operation. Consider, based on the research presented here, segmenting VCM services by organizational structure of the VC (Independent, futernal to United Way, others). VCM should take on a strong advocacy role on behalf of its member centers, especially in relation to the POLF and federal and state funding sources. VCM should seek technical support for Michigan' s VCs so that they can use technology to connect more efficiently and effectively. VCM should identify key areas where VC leaders can benefit from training. Seek to develop VC leaders who can raise funds for operational support and put strategies in place to sustain local VCs over time. VCM should seek to gain 100% buy-in and participation in ongoing efforts to develop and document the work of each VC. Training of people and development of information systems with defined terms, common collection protocols, and standard reporting approaches are essential to building stronger case statements. Taking these two lists into consideration, the VCM proposed the following next phase initiatives that would address a number of the recommendations outlined above. • • • • Provide support to VCs that is unique to their needs and structure (internal vs. independent). fucrease the leadership capacity ofVC staff to advance their organizations. Develop and implement a plan to enhance the ability ofVCs to fully utilize technology to document impact of their organization. Enhance the technology skills ofVC staff to ensure the quality and sustainability of the technology usage. Leadership Professional Development/ Leadership Academy During our association meetings in 2005 we addressed the following topics: Logic model and outcomes; laid the foundation for our VC Kahle Study; POLF Affiliation work and training on POLF VISTA initiative. With the assistance of the MNA Leadership Institute, we developed and implemented the VC Leadership Academy beginning in March of2006. The VC Academy would work to address the professional development needs of the VC network leadership and key staff. Topics chosen to address during our first year included: leadership vs. management; differences between internal and external VC; POLF Standards of Excellence and Affiliation Agreement; changing tides of the nonprofit sector; nonprofit lifecycles; critical role technology plays in nonprofits; marketing and promotion and building strategic alliances for meaningful impact; strategic planning, principals and practices for non-profit excellence; diversification of funding; advocacy ; and governance. Our venue for offering these included the use of our quarterly meetings already on VCs schedules; participation in the annual MNA SuperConference and bi-monthly conference calls. Outcomes: 1. Developed the nation's first leadership development curriculum for Volunteer Center Directors. The POLF has expressed interest in sharing our training curriculum with other VC State Associations. • Page 3 �2. The Academy has engaged over 96 % of the Volunteer Center Director network (Goal 100% of new directors). Technology Assessment, Training and Resources for Hardware & Software We undertook, with NPower Michigan, the development of a technology plan for the VCs. This was broken down into two areas: • Basic Technology Grants to allow a VC to undergo an assessment of their technology capacity and provide them with recommendations on how to upgrade their current systems, creating a technology plan for them. Matching resources would then be provided to get them to the "basic" level of technology application. To help remediate these needs, NPower developed a recommended "Buying Guide," containing key specifications and specific product recommendations. NPower also assist the centers with referrals on how to obtain discounts price on equipment and software when requested. Outcomes: 1. N-Power Michigan helped 21 centers (77%) with training, individual consultations, and Tech Atlas support. • Technology Resources and Training Grants allowed us to develop 1-2 page resource guides to benefit Volunteer Centers, and then reviewed these resources during a series of conference calls. Additionally, since the staff of member VC would need some sort of technology training, we set aside a pool of funds to subsidize training by allowing each Volunteer Center funds for 1-2 classes, as requested. MNA member organizations (VCs are MNA members) can take classes at New Horizons on Outlook for a relatively low price. Outcomes: 1. Engaged N-Power Michigan to create "A Buyers Guide to Technology Enhancements" since distributed as a national model to the Volunteer Center National Network of the POLF. Impact and Coverage Strategic Planning for the VCM Network We established an ad-hoc Strategic Planning Committee for the VCM to undertake the development of a new 3-5 year strategic plan to move forward both the VCM and the volunteer center network. The committee was comprised ofVC directors in the network and some key outside stakeholders. Outcomes: The summer strategic planning process was followed up with the establishment of 6 Vision Priority teams ofVC directors that will work on the following key areas this coming year: 1. Creating our identity across the state 2. Using outcome data to prove the value ofVC 3. Developing and implementing ongoing professional development for the VC directors. 4. Seeking additional resources to the support network ofVC. 5. Creating a volunteer presence in every community 6. Enhancing the VC capacity to use up to date technology. Our work will be guided by Sue Weachter ofComerstone Consulting Inc. • Page 4 �FY2006-2007 The ConnectMichigan Alliance (CMA) and the Volunteer Centers of Michigan (VCM) FY 2006-2007 request for funding proposed to continue to address the following overarching goals: • • • • Enlarge the capacity of Volunteer Centers to meet the core competencies and Standards of Excellence mandated by the Volunteer Center National Network. Create an information and referral system statewide that will meet the needs oflocal centers while providing impact data to help make the case for service and volunteerism in Michigan. Fortify the sector by assisting Volunteer Centers (VC) in their role of providing support to local nonprofits. Expand the coverage area of the Michigan VC Network. The VCM proposed the following initiatives to continue enhancing the Volunteer Centers capacities statewide. Leadership Development VC Leadership Academy- We propose to continue our work with the VC Leadership Academy and develop a method for orienting new Volunteer Center leadership as they enter the network. Our quarterly meeting will continue to include seminar/workshop topics of interest and need to the network. In addition our face to face meeting will be supplemented with bi-monthly conference calls as a way of continuing our training with the network and being able to address needs as they come up. Outcome: 1. We will bring to a close our first year Leadership Academy class on March 8-9, 2007. 2. A membership survey will take place during our retreat to measure the impact our Leadership Academy on the network and to generate a list of training topics for the coming year. 3. We established mentoring matches for the 5 new VC Directors that joined the network. When requested we have also matched Program Managers new to the network with more experienced ones in an effort to grow our VC talent. 4. All 5 new Directors to the network this year have taken advantage of all the trainings offered. VC Strategic Board Initiative- We propose setting aside resources to assist up to ten VC in undertaking a strategic planning process for their Boards of Directors over the course of this coming year. This planning process will allow them to examine ways that they can enhance their services to the community and nonprofits, examine their sustainability plans and develop steps to meet their core standards and services as required by the POLF Affiliation Agreement. Grants would range from $1000- $2000 per center based on a proposal that would be reviewed by the VCM. Outcome: 1. An RFP will go out to the VC network by mid-March 2007 to release these dollars. Technology Organizational Capacity Technology Upgrades- We have begun, with the support ofNPower MI, to work with our VC network to develop their individual technology assessment plans. Once they have nnder gone the assessment process NPower will work with them to develop an implementation plan for the needed upgrades. In an • Page 5 �effort to grow our networks capacity we propose continuing to hold a pool of resources that our centers can apply for. Outcome: 1. Seventeen (63%) volunteer centers took advantage of the Technology Enhancement Funds. 2. Fifteen "Quick Win" grants totaling $5,915 leveraged an additional $6,796 dollars in cash and in-kind support. 3. Sixteen "Large Tech Grants" totaling $59,507leveraged another $108,669 dollars in cash and in-kind support. 4. Fifteen centers (88%) used the dollars to upgrade hardware; Sixteen centers (94%) used the dollars to purchase new or upgrade software with ten (5~/o) purchasing volunteer matching software. 5. Twelve centers (70%) used dollars to provide for both staff and nonprofits organizations training on the use of the volunteer matching software. 6. Ten centers (59%) use dollars to upgrade and enhance their web-sites. Statewide Data CollectionA statewide data collection system was a goal of the network during our second year ofVIG fi.mding. With the help of Kahle Research Solutions and a team of six Volunteer Center directors, the network developed a set of standard data collection indicators. Once finalized we proceeded to develop a basic web-based collection tool that would be used monthly, quarterly or annually to collect data. Outcomes: 1. We then entered into a contractual relationsmp with "GrandNet" out of Grand Rapids to develop a web-based reporting system for our centers. 2. Volunteer centers began to input data starting with July 1, 2006. To date 93 % of our centers have recorded data into the system. 3. Kahle Research Solutions will be reviewing our first six months of data and will be ready to present at our March 2007 VCM Retreat. We will be happy to share the data with the MCSC at their next meeting. Impact and Coverage Innovation Grants As we work toward enhancing the standards of excellence for all our Volunteer Centers we propose to implement an "innovation grant program". These grant dollars would be distributed via an application process requiring local volunteer centers to develop a work plan for the project's implementation that include outcomes measures. These grants could be used to implement local Business Volunteer Councils, provide for a local training series on Volunteer Management, establish an annual community wide volunteer recognition event, establish a local mentoring collaborative among others. Grants would range from $300-$750. Outcome: 1. An RFP that will go out to the VC network by mid-March 2007 to release these dollars. Universal Coverage/Expansion Grants As we continue to work toward providing every Michigan citizen access to volunteer opportunities, with our goal being, universal coverage, we developed an RFP process that would provide fi.mding to • Page 6 �either begin a new center, expand the service area of a current center and to develop sustainability plans for either. • • New Communities- $45 ,000 with grants ranging from $10,000-$15,000. Current Center- $22,500 with grants ranging from $5000- $7,500. Outcome: · L Currently the 27 Volunteer Centers cover 40 counties and 82.17% of our population. Our Start-Up Volunteer Center Initiative generated to date 3 submissions with an additional one or two in development. These start-ups will increase county coverage an additional4 counties and population percentages will grow to 86%. 2. An RFP is out to our current VC network for expansion grants. The Letters of intent that have come in are proposing to increase our geographic population coverage another eight counties. Deadline for full proposals is February 28, 2007. Technology Statewide Volunteer Matching Portal Another component of the Volunteer Centers of Michigan's goal toward universal coverage and access is a website presence that will provide volunteers and the nonprofits they serve an easy access venue to share information about opportunities and interest. VCM's research through Kahle Research Solutions and Npower Michigan led to three key findings: 1. VCs utilize no less than 7 different web-based recruitment/referral systems, 2. The protocol to create one statewide portal that unifies these systems and allows them to share data does exist, however none of the vendors agreed to utilize the protocol, 3. A statewide model for web-portal recruitment and referral was created in other states including California that Michigan may be able to buy and adapt without paying the high development costs. VCM will be working to develop a strategy for a state portal with the hope of developing as comprehensive a system as possible to meet the needs of Volunteer Centers and potentially other service and volunteer infrastructure partners . Our system will be developed by September 2007 and launched by April2008 during (Michigan Volunteer Week) . Conclusion The Volunteer Centers of Michigan are proud of the progress detailed in this summary, but remain concerned that Volunteer Centers in Michigan are not universally embraced and supported in every community, are not universally understood as a vital resource for every nonprofit in Michigan, and are not universally celebrated for the meaningful support they provide for Michigan's volunteers. VCM sees an increasing need for volunteer centers as the "Baby Boomer" market continues to grow, youth are seeking "cool cities" to live in, and more and more communities are seeking help with increasingly complex challenges. It is our hope that by increasing the awareness of impact, sharing information more effectively, becoming more accessible and by enhancing and sustaining the leadership of the Volunteer Center network in Michigan, we will be able to ensure that every Michigan resident has access to a meaningful and long-term volunteer experience.
