CMA �Connecting Through the Storm Hurricane Katrina Relief Volunteer Centers of Michigan The primary purpose of Volunteer Centers of Michigan (VCM) is to support local vo lu nteer centers in their efforts to mobilize people and resources to solve community problems in creative ways. VCM focuses on three primary areas: strengthening existing Volunteer Centers, providing leadership in developing new centers and promoting vo luntee ri sm statewide. 77% of Michigan people have Volunteer Center access. Over 60,000 volunteers had an opportunity to serve. 3,835 agencies and businesses are served by Volunteer Centers. ·2004-2005 POLF Annual Survey of Volunteer Centers 1n M1ch1gan Connecting Through Partners The Carter Partnership Award s Michigan Campus Compact The Michigan Campus Compact (MCC) strives to in sti ll an ethic of service and civic action in college students. To accomp li sh th is mission , it creates a cu lture of service by supporting and expanding campus programs that educate students about giving back and engaging as good citizens. Students at MCC member institutions contributed over 7 mi ll ion hours of community service, provid ing an economic benefit of over $120 million to Michigan 's nonprofit sector. 100% of MCC members have partnerships with one or more organizations in their community. 93% of MCC members offer service-learning courses. *2005 Campus Compact Annual Service Statistics Connecting flir<>ug �Connecting Through Leadership Em erging Leaders Michigan Nonprofit Association The Michigan Nonprofit Association (MNA) supports nonprofit organ izations in Michigan to become more effective, efficient and accou ntable. Simply put, MNA helps board members learn how to increase the efficacy of the groups they serve and it helps staff learn how to recruit, manage and retain volunteers . MNA serves 900 member nonprofit organizations and seve ral thousand oth er nonprofits who look to MN A for its expertise. Over 100 educational programs are offered each year. Over 2,000 volunteers and staff benefit annually from M NA's work.

It manages six programs : Mentor Michigan, Michigan's AmeriCorps, Learn and Serve- Michigan , Mich igan's Citizen Corps and the Governor's Service Awards. MCSC granted $6.8 milli on in annua l federal funds in 2005-2006. MCSC granted nearly $ 1 mill ion in state funds in 2005 to support efforts li ke AmeriCorps and local volunteer centers. MSCS grants supported nearly 900,000 hours of volunteer service in 2005. ) .. • Together we 're better! �Connecting fl1t () l l ( Program Highl ights and Impact ( Serve Michigan Sound public policy is vital to the future of vo lunteerism in Michigan. The public sector must be a full partner with the private sector in ensuring that service and civic engagement are channeled and harnessed to help meet the state's tremendous challenges . Serve Michigan engaged a broad coalition of partners to demonstrate the concrete benefits of vo lunteerism to elected officials and to ma intain or increase public and private funding for volunteer efforts and programs. The impact of its work in 2005 included a successful broad-based campaign of 283 coalition partners which helped restore $980,000 in state funding to the Michigan Community Service Commission . This enabled Michigan to leverage $6.8 million in federal funding and 900,000 hours of volunteer service. AmeriCorps*VISTA This MCC program has generated impressive human and financial resources to enable college students to address the needs of children in low-income communities . MCC VISTA volunteers have made a tremendous impact while gain ing valuable service-learning experience outside the classroom . Consider that in just one year, MCC VISTAs have: Recruited 3,250 college students as new volunteers. Performed nearly 100,000 hours of volunteer service , valued at more than $1.7 million. Michigan's Promise We believe that our children are resources and leadersa force for good. They are part of the solution , not the problem. Michigan's Promise is the state's response to the national America's Promise effort, founded by General Colin L. Powell . It is an on-going campaign to ensure that our children have access to the Five Promises: Caring Adults, Safe Places, Healthy Start & Future, Marketable Skills, and Opportunities to Serve. Research shows that if these five promises are consistently fulfilled, they can significantly advance the hea lth and well-being of the next generation . This increases the chances of youth becoming successful adults. �We owe a debt of gratitud e to the 227 organ izations and individu als who rose to the challenge and built this endowed, long-term support mechanism for Michigan volunteers .

GRANHOLM, Governor MICHIGAN COMMUNITY SERVICE COMMISSION Chairperson Daniel G. Mulhern 1048 Pierpont, Suite 4 Lansing, Michigan 48913 Telephone: (517) 335-4295 FAX: (517) 373-4977 www.michigan.gov/mcsc Executive Director Janet C. Lawson MEMORANDUM TO: Members of the Michigan Community Service Commission FROM: Janet Lawson, Executive Director DATE: February 10, 2006 RE: Updates on Progress and Challenges This February meeting is being held during the 101h Annual Institute on Service-Learning, sponsored by the MCSC and Michigan Campus Compact on the University of Michigan Flint campus. The Institute offers professional development opportunities for educators in K-12 and higher education on strategies and best practices for service-learning. Now, for your review, the face of service at both the national and state level since we last met. National Service In Michigan we believe in empowering youth to serve. It was very rewarding to see Ja'Detrus Hamilton, a Learn and Serve America student from Leakesville, Mississippi, honored for his volunteer service during the President's State of the Union address in January. Most of his volunteer service was carried out through Youth Engaged in Service (YES!). The goal of YES is to enlist, train, and empower high school students to be service leaders in their schools and communities. Michigan has a similar statewide program, SLYC (Service Learning Youth Council), which builds leadership skills in our service-learners. These students return to their communities and advocate and encourage teachers and administrators to participate in service and service-learning. Ja'Detrus represented the 1.5 million young people nationwide who serve each year though Learn and Serve America. The President's 2007 budget request was released last week. The Administration has requested an $851 .5 million budget for the Corporation for National and Community Service, which will enable the Corporation to support 75,000 AmeriCorps members, approximately 500,000 Senior Corps volunteers, and one million Learn and Serve America participants. In addition, the budget will allow the Corporation's programs to mobilize and manage at least one million community 1 �( volunteers. That said, the FY07 budget is a 5.4 percent reduction for the Corporation. More than half the reduction comes from the proposed shut down of AmeriCorps NCCC. Other reductions include an 8 percent decrease for Learn and Serve and a 2 percent decrease for AmeriCorps, which totals a 14 percent loss for AmeriCorps since 2003. The implication ofthese proposed cuts on Michigan's AmeriCorps and Learn and Serve programs are being studied. The proposed budget will be followed by appropriations hearings in the House and Senate later this spring and by committee mark-ups, floor consideration, conference committees, and more. We hope to engage the MCSC Commissioners as advocates for national service this April. Finally, the Corporation released its Strategic Plan for 2006-2010. This plan lays out a national vision for volunteer service and has at its core the same principal that we, as a Commission, are committed to in Michigan. Their plan is to "build a better future for all Americans that will include a more widespread culture of service, more opportunities for young people to succeed, more schools that encourage citizenship, and more older Americans using their skills to give back to their communities". Certainly we hear echoes of our own mission statement in their language. The great news is that we, as a Commission, have embarked on that path for the past three years under the leadership of First Gentleman Mulhern. Through Mentor Michigan, AmeriCorps, Learn and Serve, Citizen Corps and other statewide initiatives we will stay the course. The four focus areas identified by the Corporation for future funding are: mobilizing more volunteers, ensuring a better future for all of America's youth, engaging students in communities, and harnessing baby boomers' experience. This is great news for Michigan, since most of our volunteer programs have these goals at t~eir core. Statewide Service The MCSC is housed within the Department of Labor and Economic Growth (DLEG). In January David Hollister stepped down as Director ofDLEG and Governor Granholm recently appointed Paula Cunningham, former President of Lansing Community College, as the new Director. Paula is ideally suited to help Governor Granholm plan for a 21 51 Century economy with her extensive workforce development knowledge. Governor's Service Awards: We are thrilled to announce that Jeff Daniels, founder of the Purpose Rose Theater in Chelsea and beloved Michigan film and stage actor, will be joining us as co-host ofthe 2006 Governor's Service Awards. The event is being held on Saturday, May 201h, in Southeast Michigan at a venue still being determined. Fundraising is now our #1 priority. Commissioner Kari Pardoe and Kim Ross of Pfizer, Inc. are leading the fundraising efforts. The 2006 celebration will have a different format than in years past. There will be a private reception for finalists and sponsors, hosted by the Governor, Mr. Daniels, and First Gentleman Mulhern, followed by a theatre-style awards presentation. (There will not be a sit down dinner this year.) As details become available, we will share them with you. Mentor Michigan: January was National Mentoring Month and Michigan Mentoring Month. Hopefully, in each of your communities you heard Dan Mulhern on the airwaves, often very early in the morning during drive time, touting the benefits ofmentoring. Dan also attended 12 mentoring events during January and was interviewed 20 times for radio and TV shows. We are sure that the next wave of the Mentor 2 �Michigan Census will show that the increased focus on mentoring during January led to more mentor matches. We are grateful to the Detroit Pistons Foundation for the production of a rnentoring PSA with the First Gentleman and Chauncey Billups and for their focus on mentoring during an afternoon basketball game on MLK Day. The success of this year's Detroit Auto Show touched Mentor Michigan in many ways this year. For the first time, Mentor Michigan agencies encouraged all of their mentor-mentee matches to attend both the Preview event and the auto show, hopefully their promotion of auto show tickets drove up the sales and the attendance at the event. We are also grateful to the Detroit Area Auto Dealers Association for their $50,000 contribution to Mentor Michigan. By Executive Order, the Mentor Michigan Leadership Council was announced on January 20, 2006. Included in your board materials is a roster of our new Mentor Michigan champions. We are pleased that each of them are willing to help us create an epidemic of service and help Michigan's children find a caring adult for each of their lives. Please join us on March 15, 2006, from 3:00 - 5:00p.m. for the Mentor Michigan Leadership Council welcome reception. The event will be held in the Michigan Room, Romney Building, downtown Lansing. The Mentor Michigan Providers Council wrapped up National Mentor Month with legislative visits on Tuesday, January 31 st. Provider's Council members met with elected officials and their staff members to talk about mentoring, the challenges they face trying to increase servi~e to kids in their communities, and to talk about how each elected official could assist them in their mission. Congrats to each of you who were instrumental in creating a super successful Super Bowl XL. Over 40 mentor/mentee matches attended the Super Bowl Kick-off Event "A Detroit Salute" on Monday, January 30th thanks to the Super Bowl XL Host Committee. Whether your Super Bowl efforts were realized through the foundation you represent or the business or nonprofit organization where you are employed, we are grateful for your outstanding efforts during the week of Super Bowl festivities . The new projects launched following the Super Bowl will support youth, low-income fan1ilies, the homeless, and disaster victims long after 2006. We are proud to be part of a state, and a city, that rolled out the red carpet and showed midwest hospitality to many who were disbelievers. AmeriCorps: At the Commission Meeting, the board will be reviewing and approving the MCSC's Michigan's AmeriCorps Competitive Funding package that will be submitted to the Corporation for National and Community Service. The funding package will include both new and continuation requests. Please see the attached funding recommendation for additional information. Learn and Serve: Approximately $500,000 is available for the 2006-2007 Learn and Serve- Michigan funding cycle to begin September 1, 2006. Local public school districts, intermediate school districts, and public school academies are eligible to apply for these grants that range from $6,000 for new small districts to $40,000 for larger, more experienced districts. Outreach sessions were held in January in Lansing, Detroit and Traverse City. Applications will be peer and staff reviewed and are due April 5, 2006. 3 � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Welcome and Introduction - Chairperson Mulhem The meeting was called to order at 12:15 by Chairperson Mulhern and he gave a briefwelcome. Janet Lawson introduced new MCSC staff members, Marcy Bishop and Mark Mullaney, who are the new Ame1iCorps Program Officers, and Maisha Maurant, the new Mentor Michigan Commwucation Coordinator. Mr. Mulhem introduced Marsha Smith, a new MCSC Commissioner. He also recognized Commissioner Russ Mawby, who is not present at the meeting because he will be receiving an award from the Battle Creek business community today, and Janet Lawson and the MCSC Staff for all the good work they have done. II. Review and Approval of November 9, 2005, Minutes- Chairperson Mulhem Chairperson Mulhem asked for a motion to approve the minutes from the November 9, 2005, board meeting. Commissioner Seese moved to approve the minutes, Conunissioner Wlllpple seconded the motion. The motion passed unanimously. III. Executive Director Report- Janet Lawson A. Govemor's Service Awards- Ms. Lawson gave an update on the 2006 Govemor's Service Awards and shared that JeffDamels has agreed to co-host the event with the Govemor on May 20th. She shared that this year's event will be different in years past. There will not be a dinner this year but will be an entertainment venue including local entertainment acts. JeffDaniels will also perform. Kim Ross from Pfizer and Commissioner Kari Pardoe will serve as the co-chairs of the GSA Fund Development committee. Other committee members will be Jimmie Comer, Wendy Acho, Rob Collier, Joe Sowmick, Melome Colaianne and Vivian Pickard. Conunissioners went tlu·ough the list of potential sponsors and agreed to follow up with those they had contacts with. B. Calendar of Events/Meeting Dates- Ms. Lawson explained that the Russ Mawby Signature Service Project has been moved to May 22-23 due to the Govemor's Service Awards now taking place on May 20 111 • She also explained that there will not be a May MCSC Board Meeting because of the other events that will be happemng and the time commitments on Conunissioners. Ms. Lawson explained that Commissioners will be asked to make visits to federal legislators in April. Mr. Mulhern suggested that it would be a much better use of Commissioner's time to meet with Congressional members to share the need and impact of national service. Ms. Lawson also went through the list of other MCSC events this year that Commissioners will be invited to. C. Federal Funding - Kyle Caldwell gave an update on the President's budget for national service. There is a 12% reduction in the CNCS overall funding, there is another reduction to Learn & Serve funding (down to $34 million), there is flat funding for admimstrative dollars for state service commissions (there have 2 �been three new commissions added, so this is actually a reduction in funding) , there is a slight reduction in overall funding for AmeriCorps but the impact for Michigan funding is not known yet. He also gave an update on ServeMichigan and their efforts to inform the field about the national service funding cuts. Mr. Caldwell informed the Commissioners that there would be a Legislator Day at the Capitol where grantees will be invited to speak during an event highlighting national service. Commissioners are invited to attend this event. D . New Initiatives a. Environmental Volunteer Efforts - Ms. Lawson explained that the MCSC was approached by the University of Michigan and asked to house two interns this summer that will work on an initiative that will show what environmental volunteer efforts look like. It will include the environmental aspects of AmeriCorps programs (Grotmdwater Stewardship) and Learn & Serve programs. Commissioner Marsha Smith stated that she would be glad to help in the development of this area. Commissioner Pardoe also suggested looking at what some of the foundations are doing in this area and what direction they want to go in. Commissioner Kwak suggested making sure to be clear of what others are doing already. It could be that this initiative could create an alliance (similar to Mentor Michigan) of environmental volunteer agencies that already exist. Kyle Caldwell shared that Michigan Conservation Corps already exists and that the National Association of Conservation Corps would like to expand in Michigan. It may be appropriate to have a conversation with them also. (This is a state funded program and has also been an education award AmeriCorps program.) b. Habitat Mentoring Initiative - Ms. Lawson gave background on an initiative where Habitat will link their volunteers, when they are not working on a home, to the children of the families in the Habitat homes in a mentoring initiative. They will also have the children, along with their mentors, volunteering on Habitat builds. There will also be a curriculum available at the Habitat Restores where the Habitat volunteers will learn building skills with their mentors along with stress and time management skills. This initiative will be launched in Battle Creek. Commissioner Kwak asked that she be kept in the loop on this initiative as W .K. Kellogg Foundation may be of some help. c. Michigan Can1pus Compact Grant I Learn & Serve Higher Ed Grant Ms. Lawson explained that CNCS has higher education grants available. The MCSC and Michigan Campus Compact are working on a grant for mentoring on college and community college campus's and will be submitted soon. There is also a K-12 grant through the CNCS that the Service Learning staff is working on regarding mentoring. Learn & Serve has funding available to focus on K-12 school-based and the MCSC will use it through community-based organizations to work with nonprofit organizations to incorporate service-learning into their youth 3 �programming. The MCSC is applying for $400,000 which will be connected to peer mentoring where older kids will be m entoring yow1ger kids. The college piece, "Investing in College Futures", focuses on kids who don't have college on the horizon because it is not what they see in their family model. They will have a mentor from a college campus who shows them what college is about and should be part of their future. d. AmeriCorps Alumni - Ms. Lawson shared that both nationally and on the state level there are efforts to do a better job of connecting to AmeriCorps alumni to keep them participating service, link them back into commissions, and not to lose them. The tracking is sketchy because there is not a good tracking system for younger people as they move a lot. The MCSC is hoping to invite Michigan AmeriCorps alumni to the Governor's Service Awards and have them stand and be recognized. e. Impact Study - Ms. Lawson shared that her and Chaim1an Mulhern feel it is important to do an impact study in Michigan to find out how volunteerism affects communities (as a preventive model, education model, etc). What do we get for our volunteer dollar? How do we impact communities? We don ' t measure impact enough around volunteerism so how can we expect our elected officials to understand what the money is going for. Ms. Lawson and Kyle Caldwell have talked and feel that there needs to be an outside source to take a look at what Michigan is doing and put us up to some high standards and measure what we have done with our volunteer dollars and how that tracks in the state as far as impact. IV . Updates on Progress and Challenges A. Mentor Michigan - Mary Grill gave an update on National Mentoring Month successes including several radio interviews, television appearances and print articles involving Chairman Mulhern. He also attended 14 events during the month that involved mentoring. Ms. Lawson shared that the Mentor Michigan Leadership Council has been announced by the Governor. They will meet for the first time for a kick off meeting/reception on March 15. Commissioners are invited to attend. Paula VanDam presented Mentor Michigan Census findings from Wave III. The findings show that the number of current mentors is growing and that there are at least 30,000 kids in Michigan in formal mentoring relationships. It also shows that the awareness and the recruitment efforts are working because there is a growth of the nun1ber of inquiries (increased from Wave I to Wave III by 71% and applications are also up 67%). The task is to move the people from the application stage into the actual mentoring stage. A lot of information from Wave III is the same as previous census findings. Community-based men to ring is the most frequent type of men to ring, 4 �although school-based mentoring runs a close second even though there are more kids served through school-based mentoring. The other area that hasn't changed is the gender issue. Approximately 67 percent of the mentors are women and 33 percent are men based on the information the MCSC has collected. But 46 percent of the kids being served are male and 54 percent are female. There is still the issue of recruiting male mentors, which has been an ongoing issue through the census. Last fall the Mentor Michigan Quality Program Standards were developed in partnership with the MCSC and the Mentor Michigan Providers Cotmcil. Through the Wave III Census, the MCSC tried to gage where organizations were in meeting those standards. Some of the data learned was that at least 50 percent of the standards are being met across the board from organizations, and 10 of the 11 standards are being somewhat met. There is work to do in this area but it's a nice baseline to use the next wave of the census to gage if the MCSC is helping to move the needle in getting more programs to have the effective pieces in place to produce a quality mentoring progran1. Another piece measured in the census is satisfaction with Mentor Michigan. The findings showed that satisfaction was up from Wave II with 87 percent of those that completed the census saying they were either somewhat or very satisfied with the work of Mentor Michigan. The next wave of the census will take place in the fall (September to mid-October). Results will be available by the beginning ofNovember. There will be regional trainings scheduled to discuss the standards. Mentor Michigan will be hosting the first Mentoring Statewide Conference on October 25 1h where standards will be one of the areas discussed. B. AmeriCorps - Paula VanDam explained the backgronnd on the Michigan's AmeriCorps Competitive New Application (see memo dated February 10, 2006 for background). Staff recommends funding at the recommended amount of: American Red Cross ofWest Central MI at $331,045, ConnectMichigan Alliance at $518,140, The Guidance Center at $276,414, Habitat for Humanity Michigan at $400,906, Marquette Alger RESA at $187,765, Regents ofthe University ofMichigan at $368,894, and Volunteer Muskegon at $306,042. Commissioner Melonie Colaianne made a motion to approve the new funding, Commissioner Jerry Seese seconded the motion. The motion passed unanimously. Paula VanDam explained the background on the Michigan's AmeriCorps Competitive Renewal Application. Staff recommends funding at the recommended amount of: BHK Child Development at $689,078, City Year Detroit at $527,950, Good Samaritan Ministries at $132,285, Michigan Department of Agriculture at $230,239 and Michigan State University Extension at $256,269. Commissioner Jerry Seese made a motion to approve the renewal funding, Commissioner Ken Whipple seconded the motion. The motion passed unanimously. 5 �Paula VanDam explained the background on the Michigan's AmeriCorps Education Award Only Application. Staff recommends funding at the recommended amount for ConnectMichigan Alliance/Michigan Campus Compact at $24,000. Commissioner Bernard Parker made a motion to approve the education award only funding, Commissioner Kari Pardoe seconded the motion. The motion passed unanimously . C. D. V. • Commissioners to send in Governor's Service Awards - Mary Grill asked any nominations they may have. There will be a peer review process once nominations are received. The Peer Reviewers ' recommendations will be reviewed by the Governor's Service Awards Conunittee who will then approve their recommendations. Financial Report- Garry Gross gave an overview of the MCSC Financial Report. Public Comments Commissioner Whipple stressed the importance of looking at our priorities and making sure we are on task for those priorities. Chainnan Mulhern suggested that at the retreat in the fall that Commissioners can look at where the MCSC is at now, where do we want to be, what is the focus/need and how do we demonstrate our leverage. VI. Adjotm1 The meeting was adjourned at 3:05pm. The Commissioners joined their subcommittee work session (Great Media, Mentor Michigan, Cool Cities/Cool Companies). 6 � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Mentor Michigan is dedicated to awakening and nurturing the amazing potential in youth by fostering ongoing, stable relationships with caring adults. We work with mentoring programs throughout the state of Michigan to recrui~ retain and reward mentors. We strengthen mentoring programs through training, research, and forming partnerships with businesses, faith-based and nonprofit organizations, educational institutions, and government. Mentor Michigan also has developed standards that support high-quality mentoring in Michigan. Right now, there's a young person who needs you. Maybe it's a child of a single parent who works two jobs or it's an ambitious teen wondering "what to be" when she grows up. Or perhaps it's a 12-year-old boy with two older sisters longing for a male friend to hang out with. Whatever the case, young people from all walks of life benefit from the encouragement, impartial advice, and fun times shared with caring adults like you. Giving a little gives back a lot. It's the little things that mentors do, like tossing around a football, helping with algebra homework, or simply saying, "Hey, call me anytime to talk," that make young people feel special- and adults feel rewarded. Studies show that mentoring helps youth improve academic performance, raise self-esteem, and develop healthy relationships. And, 99%of mentors say they would do it again, and recommend it to a friend, because of how good it makes them feel. Be the change. Anyone can be a mentor. It doesn't take any special skills to make just an hour a week last a lifetime. Your support might help a kid fend off peer pressure, teach an ambitious teen a skill that leads to her career, or offer a young boy a much-needed opportunity to talk "heart-to-heart." Just think-you can be the role model you had (or wished you had) when you were a kid! To find a place to mentor, visit www.mentormichigan.com, call 1-800-YOLUNTEER (865-8683), or contact a mentoring program in your community. 2115106 12:43:12 PM I �QUALITY PROGRAM STANDARDS FOR YOUTH MENTORING MICHIG-' N COMMUNITY SERVICE CO MM ISSION Mentor Michigan and its Providers Council believe it is vital for Michigan's mentoring programs to operate with the highest possible quality, so the Mentor Michigan Quality Program Standards for Youth were developed. The Standards are in place in order for youth to receive the most beneficial and productive results from a mentoring relationship. The Standards are not meant to certify or accredit mentoring programs. They provide a planning and assessment framework that raises the bar for mentoring programs. The Standards provide a basis for each program (board, staff and other constituents) to make a conscious comparison and determination of how the Standards will best meet the needs of youth and families in their service area. The Mentor Michigan Providers Council, a body of 20 mentoring experts from across the state, drafted the Standards from best practices developed by national, state and local organizations. First Gentleman Daniel G. Mulhern presented the Standards and gathered feedback from mentoring professionals throughout the state at four Regional Trainings in the summer of 2005. Feedback also was gathered from mentoring programs that were unable to attend a Regional Training. The feedback was incorporated and the Standards finalized by the Mentor Michigan Providers Council in October 2005. B. School-based mentoring programs provide for weekly contact between mentors and mentees that lasts for a minimum of one academic year. C. A ratio of men tees to mentors of no more than 4: I for group mentoring, wruch includes a consistent relationship between the one mentor and the same four men tees. Standard 2: RECRUITMENT PLAN The program has a comprehensive recruitment plan for mentors and mentees. The program also has a system for timely mentor and mentee follow-up and enrollment, which includes the following : A. Strategies that portray accurate expectations, eligibility and benefits for melllors and mentees. B. Year-round marketing and public relations for mentor recruitment. C. Targeted outreach of mentors and mentees based on program objectives and participant needs. D. Clearly stated program goals and objectives. Standard 1: DEFINITION OF YOUTH MENTORING E. A written position description outlining roles and responsibilities. The program defines mentoring as an ongoing, structured relationship with a trusted individual aimed at developing the competence.and potential of the men tee. This relationship includes: F. Volunteer opportunities beyond mentoring available within the organization (i.e. special events, fundraising, outreach, office support. comm ittees, etc.). A. Community-based mentoring programs provide for consistent contact between mentors and mentees for a minimum of one calendar year. Meetings must occur several times each month for a minimum of four (4) hours per month. I M/01659_ProgStds_R7.indd 1 211s.u6 12:43:40 PM I �Standard 3 : C.

Shortly after, the Michigan Campus Compact Board of Directors accepted his challenge to recruit 1500 mentors in the state over the next three years. Mentor Michigan, led by Governor Jennifer Granholm and First Gentleman Dan Mulhern, is working to ensure that all of our youth have ongoing relationships with stable, caring adults. Mentor Michigan is working with existing mentoring programs to support and enhance mentoring throughout the state. Many Michigan Campus Compact member campuses have mentoring programs as part of their co-curricular and/or service-learning offerings to students. These programs work with local K-12 schools, churches, libraries, e-mentoring and nonprofit organizations, and include such programs as the following : Lunch Buddies Select Sixty President's Leadership Academy Reach Out! Adopt-A-Grandparent Mentor Mecosta Vista Maria Home for Girls Footsteps Campfire Saginaw Co. Youth Leadership Institute Reading Buddies Wayne Community Shelters As a result of a survey to MCC member campuses conducted this fall, we estimate that at least 1121 students, staff and faculty were mentoring this past academic year, together serving at least 2,577 Michigan residents. To date, we estimate that Michigan Colleges and Universities have recruited and placed 74.7% of the mentors requested. Additionally, the Michigan Campus Compact has encouraged students to mentor and give back to youth programs through Michigan Services Scholars, AmeriCorps' Education Award program. In one year, Michigan Campus Compact Service Scholars has engaged 248 students, providing 34,406 hours of service to youth programs. Michigan Campus Compact asked the staff, faculty and students who coord inate these mentoring programs on campuses to list out what additional support they need to enhance college students' commitment to mentoring. The responses to the Mentor Michigan survey indicated the need for support in the following areas: • • • • • • • • • • More staff to handle placement and partnerships; Information about successful mentoring programs, including best; practices, training and evaluation materials; Incentives for students to become involved; Release time for staff to participate; Mentor programs with more flexible hours for students; Transportation for students and mentees; Data collection tools; More information about e-mentoring; Grant dollars to expand programming; and Ways to make students aware of the value of mentoring. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Lieutenant Governor Cherry, Mr. Speaker, Mr. Majority Leader, members of the Legislature, distinguished guests, fellow citizens, my beloved family: Before I begin , I would like to recognize one more person - Melissa Dennis, wife of National Guardsman Anthony Dennis, Captain of the 125th Bravo Company serving in Iraq. I visited the 125th when I went to Iraq on Thanksgiving . Mrs. Dennis is here representing all of the families and soldiers who have put their lives on the line for us. Please join me in thanking her and all our Michigan heroes. State of the State addresses are traditionally formal affairs where the Governor talks policy with the Legislature . People with titles and expensive suits pack this ornate hall. With utmost respect to you , I ask your indulgence as I speak more directly tonight to our employers- the people of Michigan. I want to talk to the father who has worked for 30 years at a manufacturing plant who just got notice that his job as a welder has been outsourced to China. I want to talk to the waitress who dreams of sending her only daughter.to college but worries that she'll never be able to save enough to afford the tuition . I want to talk to the woman behind the counter at the dry cleaners where you picked up your suit to wear tonight, the woman who's sick but who can't afford to see her doctor. I want to talk to the worker at Delphi, at GM , at Chrysler, and at Ford. And I want to talk to the worker at the Ford Wixom plant. Tonight, I want to talk to the everyday people of Michigan, the people who built Michigan's schools and churches , its little leagues and Kiwanis Clubs. The people who power its economy and who only expect for themselves a fair opportunity to build a good life for their families . I want to talk to those who are fearful , and to those who are hopeful , and to many of you who are both. Wherever we live in Michigan, we know that as our auto industry struggles in this global economy, our people feel that pain more than in any other state in the country. Michigan, I am here to tell you : We have a detailed and comprehensive plan to grow this economy. We are working that plan . And everything in that plan will secure the opportunity for a good life for you and your family. In Michigan. Some will say, "How can you talk about a good life in Michigan when for over six years we have been losing manufacturing jobs -like the ones that Ford just announced?" Here's the answer: I will not stop working our plan until we create a Michigan where every one of you, from the autoworker to the homemaker to the nurse, has the opportunity to build that good life. The foundation of a good life, of course, is a good-paying job . But we know there are other critical building blocks . You need health care for your family. You need a quality education for your ch ildrenand, today, that means an affordable college education . And you need a government that fights for you, to protect your family, your home, your community. Many fear that good life is slipping away in Michigan as our economy faces unprecedented challenge. http://www .michigan.gov/printerFriendly/0, 1687,7-168--134956--,00.html 1/26/2006 �Working Our Plan, Securing Our Future Page 2 of 12 Tonight, I want you to know that our plan will meet that challenge because it, too, is unprecedented, both in detail and in scope . And I want to tell you how we will work that plan and move our state forward in four distinct ways: • We will protect you and your family and your financial security- all the more important during this time of economic transition . • We will give all of our ch ildren the education they need to succeed in the 21st century economy. We want the most educated workforce in the nation . • We will make health care more affordable and more accessible for hundreds of thousands of more people in Michigan . • And because the foundation of a good life IS the opportunity for a good job, I'll keep fighting to protect the jobs we have . I will go anywhere and do anything to bring jobs to th is state. And we'll diversify our economy by adding jobs in growing sectors . We have been working th is plan . We have been consistent, disciplined and unwavering in executing it. And it's already bearing fruit. Our efforts have created and retained 327,000 jobs that otherwise would have gone to some other state or - more likely- some other country. You hear all the time the bad news, so let me give you a couple of examples of our main successes in bringing jobs here: J&L Industrial Supply, the largest metal cutting distributor in America, is consolidating operations from Texas , North Carolina, and California in Southfield . Advanced Photon ix, a California technology firm, is moving its headquarters to Ann Arbor. Ohio-based Cobra Motorcycles is moving its headquarters to Hillsdale. And, let me introduce Greg Boll , CEO of Cummins Bridgeway- he moved factory jobs back to Michigan from Mexico because of the quality of Michigan 's workforce - with support from us, he chose to bring jobs home. Thank you for choos ing Michigan, Mr. Boll . International companies· are creating jobs in Michigan at a remarkable pace. In the past three years, German and Japanese compan ies created more than 10,000 jobs and invested $1 .7 billion in Michigan . Only two other states attracted more international investment than ours. Our domestic automakers , despite their own challenges , have invested over $9 billion in their Michigan facilities in the past three years. Because of our sustained efforts to keep and attract automotive research and development companies, Michigan has more employees and investments in that growing part of our economy than all of the other 49 states, plus Canada, plus Mexico comb ined . In the 12 months since I spoke here last, more than 1,600 new small businesses opened their doors in Mich igan. In fact, in 2005 we were named one of the friendliest states in America for small businesses. There are 99,000 more people working right now than when I first took office. And we are creating 30,000 jobs by accelerating nearly $3 billion in infrastructure projects across the state . Rather than waiting 10 years to get the work done, we'll fi nish it in the next three. Soon, everyone will live with in 30 minutes of an infrastructure project - from roads and bridges, to sewers, to upgraded nurs ing homes , to environmental cleanup sites . http://www .michigan.gov/printerFriendly/0, 1687,7-168--134956--,00. html 1126/2006 �Working Our Plan, Securing Our Future Page 3 of 12 If you are unemployed or need training to become employed, thanks to our Ml Opportunity Partnership, we're more successful than ever at training and placing unemployed people in good paying jobs that exist today in Michigan . People like Armenia Smith, a Detroit mom who lost her job but gained the training she needed to become a nurse. Armenia's just one of the 19,000 people we have already placed in good jobs. Mrs. Smith, thank you for being here. We are on track to place 30,000 unemployed people in jobs in the first year of the program. We will place 40 ,000 more in year two. We have focused an entire department of state government on giving workers the skills they need to take new jobs. So, you say, I see that you are training and placing thousands of people in jobs, and that you have attracted thousands of jobs to Michigan . But, you ask, what are you going to do to keep the jobs we have, and to make Michigan less reliant on the auto industry? Here's the answer: Michigan has the most aggressive economic plan of any state in the country. It is a bold $6 billion plan to grow jobs today and jobs tomorrow. Two of the most powerful pieces of this economic plan were just approved by this Legislature in the last two months. First, a bipartisan $600 million tax-cut package that will fight the outsourcing of our existing jobs and encourage the insourcing of new ones. And second , the 21st Century Jobs Fund, the product of almost unanimous bipartisan agreementthe largest investment in diversifying our economy this state has ever seen . It'll create tens of thousands of new jobs. We 'll invest more than $2 billion in public and private funds to develop new sectors of our economy: Advanced manufacturing. Homeland security and defense. Life sciences. Alternative energy. This effort will create all kinds of jobs for all kinds of people. Jobs that will not be outsourced . Jobs that will keep our children in Michigan. I know I said this speech was to the people, but let me just pause for a moment to thank you, the Legislature, for putting politics aside to put people first by approving this critical part of the plan . We are wasting no time in putting this powerful tool to work to create jobs . This month, we held 13 sessions across the state, explaining this fund to standing room only crowds of excited entrepreneurs and business people eager to grow their businesses. In a few months, we will begin making prudent investments in the diverse companies that will grow jobs in Michigan. And by this time next year, we'll see new businesses doing just that. In five years, you're going to be blown away by the strength and diversity of Michigan's transformed economy. ALTERNATIVE ENERGY Let.me touch on one of those groundbreaking areas of job growth that we're targeting- alternative energy. This is a big deal - CJnd a huge opportunity for Michigan. Innovators across the country are developing new ways to power our refrigerators , heat our homes, and fuel our cars. Power plants and engines fueled not only by coal or oil, but by, for example, hydrogen, the sun or the wind , or waste from landfills or farms. The Great Lakes State will be the alternative energy epicenter of America . Since we are the home of the automobile, it is our proud, patriotic duty to be the state that ends our nation's dependence on foreign oil. Our universities are already leaping into the alternative energy field . At Michigan State University, http://www.michigan.gov/printerFriendly/O, 1687,7 -168--134956--,00.htrnl 1/26/2006 �Working Our Plan, Securing Our Future Page 4 of 12 President Lou Anna Simon is positioning our state (and her Spartans) to lead the world in the new "bio-economy" - developing energy and other products from our agricultural sector. Kettering University in Flint, MAREC in Muskegon , and Next Energy at Wayne State all are leading in the development of alternative energies . If you went to the auto show, and I hope you did, you might have seen the national championship solar car developed by University of Michigan students; it tops out at 80 mph . We will use our 21st Century Jobs Fund to grow businesses here that put Michigan on the path to alternative energy leadership. And in the months ahead, we will form a statewide partnership among all of the alternative energy research and development institutions in Michigan , and we will dramatically increase the demand in our state for alternative sources of energy to bring those kinds of businesses to Michigan . We will continue to reach for the vision of a nation independent of foreign oil - a nation powered by Michigan's green businesses, Michigan innovation , and Michigan workers . GOING ANYWHERE, DOING ANYTHING TO BRING JOBS TO MICHIGAN In the year ahead, I will continue to go anywhere and do anything to bring jobs to Mich igan . Instead of seeing our jobs outsourced to China or India or Mexico, I'm going to continue to bring jobs home . In 2004 and 2005, the destinations were Germany and Japan . When tourists go overseas, they bring back souven irs . We brought back jobs . German companies- Behr Industries, Eberspacher, and Bosch -are hiring people in Kent County, Brighton , and Plymouth . Our Japan trip brought commitments for hundreds of more new jobs from Denso, Tokai Rika, Hitach i Automotive, and others. This year, whether we are courting life science leaders in Boston , technology leaders in California, homeland security businesses in Washington , or their counterparts in Europe or Asia, I will tell each of them this : there's no better place on the planet to grow your business than right here in Michigan . Fighting for the Jobs We Have In addition to bringing jobs home, I'll continue my fight to keep the jobs we have right here in Michigan . On this point, let me be very clear: We will grow new segments of our Michigan economy. But we will not concede the automotive industry to any other state or nation. We are the state that put America on wheels- the state that put the "car'' in NASCAR. There is no vision for Michigan 's new economy that does not include cars designed, engineered , and made in Mich igan . The industry's chang ing -but we in Michigan cannot- will not- abandon it. And we should not allow our government in Wash ington to abandon it either. Believe me, Michigan will continue to do everything in its power to support our manufacturing sector. We know state government has a role to play. But as manufacturing CEOs have repeatedly told me: No state can fix this problem .alone . No state can adopt or enforce trade agreements . No state can impact the nation 's laws on pensions. The leadership in Washington must be our partner in respond ing to the crushing challenges of a global economy. A partner. Not a bystander. Our bipartisan Congressional delegation agrees . We all owe thanks for the leadership of our Senators Carl Levin and Debbie Stabenow and Deans of the House, Congressmen John Dingell and Fred Upton , who are fighting for a federal partnersh ip to help our manufacturing sector. I'll continue to ca ll on our President to craft a un iquely American solution to health care and pension http://www.michigan.gov/printerFriendly/0, 1687,7-1 68--134956--,00.html 1/26/2006 �Working Our Plan, Securing Our Future Page 5 of 12 reforms to make our nation's manufacturers competitive with other countries . I've called on the administration in Washington to enact fair trade policies, not trade policies that help other countries grow jobs while ours are outsourced . Michigan workers make the best products in the world . We're not afraid of trade. I say "bring it on." But it must be fair trade. Fair to our businesses. Fair to our workers. Fair to our country. As long as I am your Governor, no state will fight harder to keep our manufacturing jobs. Slash Bureaucracy and Streamline I'll also continue to do everything I can to make our state more friendly to job providers. We will continue to slash the red tape that entangles businesses. Michigan is already the first state in the nation to offer environmental permits online -a step that has cut air quality permitting time for businesses by 66 percent. This year, we'll cut in half the time it takes for new employers to open their doors as a Michigan business- and we'll do it online. We'll nearly double the number of business permits available online. A state that can balance its books and maintain a high quality of life is a state that will attract businesses and jobs. I'm proud that we've resolved $4 billion in budget deficits without a general tax increase. And proud that I've signed 51 tax-cuts into law, both for individuals and to help businesses create jobs, without leaving gaping holes in our budget. I've also made it clear that· I will not support business tax breaks that would shift the burden to everyday citizens or force cuts to education and health care. The main reason we've been able to do more with less in state government is because our state workers are, without a doubt, second to none. Please join me in honoring and thanking these incredibly dedicated public servants. As part of our economic plan, last year I ordered our departments to buy Michigan first. Today, more than 85 percent of what the State of Michigan buys is sold to us by Michigan companies, and we're proud to support the home team. Before I leave this discussion of supporting our businesses, I want to underscore the importance of supporting the cities they call home. In my budget presentation next month, I will offer cities a major incentive to partner on significant economic development projects. Partner with the state. Partner with the private sector. And partner with other municipalities to encourage regional collaboration for major economic development and jobs projects. It will create construction jobs today. It will promote regional cooperation . And it will enhance our cities. And let me pause on our largest city. For the past two weeks, Detroit has showcased the world's premiere auto show. It was on TV across the nation . it was a reflection of Michigan. And next week, the Super Bowl spotlight will shine on the Motor City. It will be on TV around the world . It will be a reflection of Michigan . Mayor Kilpatrick, welcome. The entire state needs and wants Detroit to be successful. We all have to work together to see it happen. So, to those who practice the politics of division , who would drive a wedge between the city and the state, let me say this: http://www.michigan.gov/printerFriendly/O, 1687,7-168--134956--,00.html 1/26/2006 �Working Our Plan, Securing Our Future Page 6 of 12 The only thing that should come between Detroit and Michigan is a comma. Period. Let me turn to two other issues related to our economic growth. Making health care more affordable and accessible, and ensuring that our children have the education to succeed in this new economy. MAKING HEALTH CARE MORE AFFORDABLE AND ACCESSIBLE Create a Michigan First Health Care Plan We have already expanded health care in Michigan . Beginning this year, we w ill revolutionize it. Our first step is a quantum leap : We will provide access to quality, affordable health care for 550,000 people . We'll create a new insurance product in this state: the Michigan First Health Care Plan . The concept is simple : Give families who otherwise could not afford health insurance access to a basic, low-cost health care plan through a private insurance company. We will offer this plan through a new financial partnership with the federal government. Michigan First will cover the small business employee who doesn't get coverage through work and doesn't qualify for Medicaid. It will cover the self-employed worker who can't otherwise afford to purchase a private plan . It will allow us to provide mental health services- because it is as important to cover mental health as it is physical health . And this will make Michigan the state with the highest percentage of its population insured . If you already have insurance, you may be asking yourself, "Why does this matter to me?" Because Michigan First will save you money, too. Having fewer uninsured people reduces the costs of insurance for everyone- you pay an extra $730 per year for the cost of your insurance just to cover people who are uninsured. The more people who are insured , the less everyone pays. Bring health care delivery into the 21st century The second step in our plan to provide more affordable, better quality health care is to bring health care delivery into the 21st century. In Michigan , we'll help our health care industry stop depending on your memory and their paper records as databanks. We are going to use technology to vastly improve the system. In the future, you will be able to give your pharmacist, your doctor, or the emergency room immediate access to your information, but you will control who sees it and what it is used for. Think about" it, never having to remember the name of the medicines you 've been prescribed. Never having to fill out another form detailing your medical history, your allergies and the last time your 10year-old got a tetanus shot. In December, I convened a new Michigan Health Information Network of health care and technology professionals to develop that new network. Already, pilot projects are up and running in Southeast Michigan, right here in Lansing , and in the Upper Peninsula . This investment in information technology will reduce errors, reduce duplication , reduce insurance costs, and increase your medical privacy. http://www .michigan. gov/printerFriendly/0, 1687,7 -168--1 34956--,00.html 1126/2006 �Working Our Plan, Securing Our Future Page 7 of 12 Encourage Healthy Lifestyles and Personal Responsibility Third : Quality, affordable health care requires a healthy initiative by citizens to make lifestyle changes . We can decrease the rates of preventable diseases, like diabetes, lung cancer, and heart disease, by changing our eating habits, giving up smoking habits, and getting into the exercise habit. In this year, we will continue to implement current strategies targeted at encouraging personal respons ibility for healthy lifestyles and outcomes for all Michigan citizens by incorporating and extending the principles supported by Michigan's Surgeon General in the Michigan Steps Up initiative. These principles include focus on healthy behaviors through better eating habits, getting regular exercise, and avoiding tobacco use. Tonight, I'm charging the Departments of Community Health, Labor and Economic Growth , and Education; the Surgeon General; and business leaders to lead our state in developing lasting, local public-private partnerships among schools , corporations, foundations, the faith-based community, public health, health care, and community organizations . These partnerships will help foster a culture of physical activity, prevention , and wellness in our communities, workplaces, and schools. Remove Limits on Stem Cell Research in Michigan If we are truly serious about improving both the cost and quality of health care in this state, we must tap the full power of modern science to combat life-threatening illnesses. Imagine having to watch your child suffer with juvenile diabetes. Imagine watching your wife lose her ability to speak, and walk, and even eat, as her Parkinson's worsens . Stem cell research holds the promise for finding cures and for improving the lives of thousands of people. Talented researchers and businesses around the world are working right now on those cures .. .but we can't recruit them to Michigan to do their work because of the limits Michigan law puts on them. When human lives are at stake, we should lead the nation in this work, not put obstacles in our own path . Tonight, I am asking you , our Legislature, to join with me in supporting this search for cures. Pass Representative Meisner's bill to remove the limits on stem cell research in Michigan, and do it now. INVEST IN KIDS TO ENSURE THEIR FULL POTENTIAL; CREATE THE BEST-EDUCATED WORKFORCE IN THE NATION Now, when it comes to education, we will have one overarching goal : to become the best-educated workforce in the nation. To do that, we will give our children the tools they need to be successful in the classroom and in the 21st century economy. As your governor, my position has been clear. I believe in the promise of public education , and I'll fight those who would break that promise . I'm proud that we have increased our investment in our public schools to record levels . But I have also said this: While we will continue to invest more in our schools, we also have to expect more of them . So, in the year ahead, we'll do two things: We'll set the bar high for our students and teachers , and we'll ensure they have the tools and skills they need to clear that bar. http://www.michigan.gov/printerFriendly/O, 1687,7-168--134956--,00.html 1/26/2006 �Working Our Plan, Securing Our Future Page 8 of 12 Create a Michigan Promise with a New Merit Award Scholarship First, we must make sure that every parent who's watching tonight can afford to send their children to college . To achieve our goal of a workforce that's second to none, we must be first when it comes to giving citizens access to higher education. Last year, I proposed allowing every child in Michigan who continues their education beyond high school to earn a $4,000 new Merit Award Scholarship- not just those who pass a standardized test in high school. Just weeks ago, we all watched as the Kalamazoo Promise changed the dynamic of public education in that community . Through the tremendous generosity of private donors, all ch ildren who attend Kalamazoo Public Schools will grow up knowing that the ir college tuition is paid for. As we celebrate the Kalamazoo Promise, let's change that dynamic in every commun ity in Michigan . Our new Merit Award Scholarship will create a Michigan Promise right now. A promise that every ch ild in Michigan will -for the first time in this state's history- have the financial means to go to college. And, therefore, a promise to anyone who wants to build a business and grow jobs that Michigan will have the nation's most highly educated workforce. It has been a year since I put the new Merit Award Scholarship before .this group, and it is even more critical to Michigan's future today than it was then. Tonight, Michigan's citizens, you should ask this Legislature: "Why are you waiting?" An Agenda for Strong Schools Making higher education affordable is half the equation . Let me lay out the rest. First, we're toughening the requ ired curriculum for high schools . Right now in Michigan , we require only one course for our high school graduates : a single semester of civics. Only one-third of the students who graduate from our high schools right now have taken the math, science, and communication courses we know they'll need to compete in our new economy. That is why I called for the creation of a required core curriculum for all Michigan high school students. I applaud both our State Superintendent Mike Flanagan and our State Board of Education for recommending what that curriculum should be. To ensure that it can be in place by September, this Legislature needs to give that new curriculum the force of law-before March. So we will set the bar high , but we'll invest in our classrooms to make sure your ch ild can clear that bar, too. In the budget I'll introduce next mon th, I'll call for a sign ificant new investment in education, and I'll focus that investment on student learning. For you who have 6th , 7th and 8th graders, know that we will increase after school programs to give middle schoolers extra hours of learning focused on math , science and computer technology. We want them to be prepared when they get to that tougher high school curriculum . For those of you who have babies and toddlers , know that we'll invest in greater support for early http://www.michigan.gov/printerFriendly/O, 1687,7-168-- 134956--,00.html 1/26/2006 �Working Our Plan, Securing Our Future Page 9 of 12 childhood learning . We know that the biggest opportunity to secure your baby's success later in life comes early- before your little one even enters kindergarten . So even in these tight budget times, we'll increase the size of our pre-school program for four-year-olds significantly. For every parent -with children at every school age -we will make sure that you know early if your child is falling behind . When something's not going right for your child in school, you want to know right away, so you can help right away, not after they've been falling behind for weeks. In the year ahead , we'll ask our school districts to give prompt notification to parents whenever a child's grades dip or attendance slips. And I'll ask this Legislature to write these requirements into law. Parents make a world of difference in their children's performance in school when they have the information to act. We'll also work to make sure that your children are safe in their schools. No child in Michigan should have to be the victim of a schoolyard bully, and no child should have their learning disrupted by a child who's unruly. That's why, tonight, I am urging this Legislature to require every school district in Michigan to have tough and effective anti-bullying policies. I've also asked Superintendent Flanagan to require that Michigan's teachers learn how to run disciplined, orderly classrooms before they even leave their teacher training programs . Michigan is blessed with dedicated teachers who'll hit even greater heights when we give them the tools they need to keep kids focused on learning . The challenge of creating strong schools for this new century will not wait. It demands action now. It calls for both new investment and new direction. PROTECTING OUR FAMILIES AND THEIR WAY OF LIFE Quality education for our children . Affordable and accessible health care. Good-paying jobs. These are the things that we all want in Michigan. And this good life we work so hard to create is worth protecting. There are those who believe we should simply let people fend for themselves in a tough world and let the chips fall where they may. I'm not one of them . Tonight, let me share some of the work we'll do to protect you, your family, and your financial security. First, let us increase the minimum wage in Michigan . You who are working in minimum wage jobs have not had a raise for nine years. Even the Legislature got a raise since then . I pledge to you this evening, those workers will get that increase this year. I was the first person in the state to sign the petition to put this question on the ballot in November. I'll be the first to vote yes. If this Legislature is not willing to raise the minimum wage in our state, the voters of Michigan will. Second, we'll make it more affordable for you to pay your heating bills. We have set aside money for emergency assistance for those struggling to pay their bills this season. Earlier this month , I asked our Public Service Commission to set aside an additional $25 million for home heating help this yearthey've agreed . We will not allow those on fixed incomes to choose between heating and eating this winter. http://www.michigan.gov/printerFriendly/O, 1687,7 -168--134956--,00.html 1/26/2006 �Working Our Plan, Securing Our Future Page 10 of 12 Third, I ask the Legislature to pass measures that will demand high standards of corporate responsibility from any business that seeks a state grant, a tax cred it, or a state contract. We are blessed in Michigan with countless businesses who know what it means to be good corporate citizens. But we should not use your tax dollars to enrich the bad actors - the companies that incorporate in off-shore tax havens, violate U.S. pension laws and international labor standards. We should ensure that your dollars go to creating jobs here in Michigan, not moving jobs overseas. And while we're asking corporations to be responsible: Fourth , I urge the Legislature to pass strong ethics legislation for politicians and candidates for office. The citizens, our bosses, the ones who hired us - you deserve to know that your interests are being represented by the people you elect. Last month, I introduced a series of ethics reforms that will require public officials to disclose their personal financial information so taxpayers know elected officials are working for the public, not enrich ing themselves . Fifth, we will protect our senior citizens. I urge the Legislature to protect our seniors by passing legislation requiring criminal background checks for those who provide elder care and employees of nursing homes in our state. Sixth, give Michigan citizens a break on the costs they pay for their home and auto insurance. This year my administration started a first-of-its-kind pooling program for citizens who live in our cities and who traditionally pay the state's highest insurance rates just because their address reads Detroit or Flint. But pilot programs aren't enough -we have to reduce the cost of insu~ance in every city- and , frankly , in every driveway across the state. Democrats introduced a package of bills that would roll back insurance rates by 20 percent. It will give the Insurance Commissioner's office the teeth it needs to find- and penalize - compan ies that are charging too much . Pass that package- not because I asked you to, but because everyday citizens need us to. Seventh, I urge this legislature to enact new protections against identity theft in Michigan. Today with an ever-increasing amount of our personal information stored in the computer systems of corporations, Michigan consumers are at risk like never before. Today, compan ies are not required to tell consumers when the security of their personal information has been compromised . That is why I am asking you to enact the strongest notification law in the country. In addition , I call on you to pass legislation that has been introduced by both Senator Jacobs and Representative Angerer that will give consumers the power to freeze their credit report in the event of identity theft. And let us also pass tough new penalties for criminals who perpetrate this hightech crime. Eighth, I ask you to protect the children of Michigan by enacting legislation that will allow us to crack down on those who expose them to the production of life-threatening methamphetamines. Last year I signed legislation restricting over-the-counter sales of ingredients used in meth Jabs. The legislation I send to you this year will allow us to charge those who expose children to meth Jabs with statutory child abuse, because that is what it is . Ninth, I ask you to take prompt action to protect those who every day put their lives on the line to protect us - the men and women who serve in our National Guard and military Reserves. I strongly support new legislation th at would increase penalties on businesses that refuse to give our service members their old jobs when they return from duty. http ://www .michigan.gov/printerFriendly/O, 1687 ,7-168--134956--,00.html 1126/2006 �Working Our Plan, Securing Our Future Page 11 of 12 It may be impossible to calculate the debt we owe to those who risk their lives for their country, but this we do know. We owe them the right to return to their lives and their jobs in Michigan. Tenth, join my call for a national cap on exorbitant oil company profits. The families of our state are being squeezed by the high cost of gasoline while the oil companies are earning jaw-dropping profits. This is not a partisan issue. It is a Michigan issue. I ask you all to stand with me and the families of our state, not the oil giants. Finally, many of you listening tonight who work for small businesses do not have a pension plan . My administration will design and open a 401 (k) plan, like the state's plan, for those workers of small companies who don't offer a pension plan. At minimal expense to state government, we will help tens of thousands of Michigan workers save for their retirement and achieve economic security . If those in this room can have a pension plan , thanks to the citizens, certainly those same citizens who are watching tonight ought to be able to have one, too. CONCLUSION So, my friends, as I've said tonight, we have much to do. A comprehensive plan to create jobs today and tomorrow, to give you and your family affordable health care, to give your children the best education in the nation, and to protect people and defend their opportunity for a good life. Michigan was built on the hard work of everyday people, and I'll fight to protect the opportunity that hard work has won every day. So while I've talked a lot about the work before us, let me be clear: there is certainly a lot to love about Michigan just as she is . Like the incredibly dedicated Michigan soldiers and their families who we began by honoring tonight. The communities that celebrate the soldiers' return with potluck dinners and yellow ribbons . The Lenten fish fries and church BBQs. The kids in neighborhoods across the state holding lemonade sales for tsunami victims they will never know. Fishing on a quiet lake at dawn. Going to a cottagemaybe even building or owning one- Up North and lazing in an Adirondack chair on the porch with the sun on your face, smelling the white pine trees . Being able once in a while to afford a Wings or Pistons game. Or vacationing on Lake Michigan , eating a Pronto Pup hotdog on the beach with the sand in between your toes . This plan is about fighting to protect your opportunity for that middle class way of life. It's our Michigan version of the American dream. It's about a Michigan where everyday people can afford to take care of their family's health. It's about a Michigan where everyday people know they'll have a peaceful , secure retirement. This is about a Michigan where any child really can go to college and have a better life than her parents did. This is about a dynamic Michigan whose ancestors were not afraid to believe that one day there might be a Mustang on four wheels, not four hooves. This is about a Michigan whose engineers can harness the power in alternative fuels, whose doctors will develop cures for cancer, whose businesspeople are excited this very minute about designing offices, creating jobs, and selling products that we don't even have a name for. http://www .michigan.gov/printerFriendly/0, 1687,7 -168--134956--,00.htrnl 1126/2006 �Working Our Plan, Securing Our Future Page 12 of 12 We love the Mich igan that is, and the Mich igan that will be.

We are pleased to host the 10th Annual Institute on Service Learning. It is particularly significant for us to be hosting this institute during the 10th anniversary year of our Center for Service Learning and School Partnerships. The University of Michigan-Flint is committed to being a good neighbor and community partner. Our campus is the perfect location to explore this year's theme, The Places We Live: Student Engagement in Diverse Communities. We are involved in several meaningful community and school partnerships. These partnerships offer our students the opportunity to be engaged in our urban community and to provide critical services and research to our partners. Together, we are working to graduate a new type of student- the civically committed student. As we move forward in to the next decade, we are committed to the three pillars that form the university's core mission: • Excellence in teaching, learning, and scholarship • Student centeredness Engaged citizenship As higher educational institutions continue to develop programs that promote civic engagement, it is critical to assess and evaluate our progress. I am particularly impressed with the service-learning clinics offered for the higher education audience as part of this year' s Institute. Special thanks are in order to Michigan Campus Compact for recognizing that assessment and continuous improvements are critical to these efforts on college campuses.

To continue our vital work to improve lives, strengthen communities , and foster civic engagement through service and volunteering, the Administration has requested a FY 2007 budget for the Corporation of $851 .5 million . The proposed budget will enable the Corporation to support 75,000 AmeriCorps members, approximately 500,000 Senior Corps volunteers, and some one million Learn and Serve America participants. In addition , the budget will allow the Corporation 's programs to mobilize and manage at least one million community volunteers, bringing to more than 2.5 million the total number of Americans engaged in community service through our programs. Click here read the full Congressional Budget Justification for Fiscal 2007 . The President is committed to national service; he is also committed to controlling spending and reducing the deficit. That entails some hard choices for discretionary spending. The budget proposes elim ination or sign ificant reduction of 141 programs across the government, including the AmeriCorps*NCCC program within the Corporation for National and Community Service. In the FY 2007 budget, the Corporation has a reduction of 5.4 percent, which adds up to $48 .5 million . More than half of that reduction comes from the proposed shut down of AmeriCorps*NCCC . Our goal with this budget request is to sustain our ability to meet key strateg ic goals, continue savings through management improvements, and raise our level of service to our partners and grantees . In all of these areas, I believe we succeeded in this proposal. Here is an overview of the Corporation 's 2007 request: • For Senior Corps , this budget requests $217 million , a continuation of the enacted budget for FY 2006. There are no reductions to Senior Corps programs: RSVP (Retired Senior Volunteer Program) continues at the FY 06 enacted funding of $59 .6 million ; the Foster Grandparent Program will continue the 2006 funding of $110 million ; and the Senior Companion Program will also hold steady at $46 .9 million . The funding will support more than 1,200 grantees and approximately 500,000 volunteers . • For AmeriCorps Grants and the National Service Trust combined , this budget requests $383.6 million . This level , when combined with the $95.4 million requested for AmeriCorps*VISTA and $13 million carried over from 2006, will support 75 ,000 members. • For AmeriCorps*NCCC , this budget requests only $4.9 million , which is intended to cover the cost of closing our campuses . This is a difficult decision, given the popularity of the program with our participants and partners, particularly in disaster response. However, the NCCC is costly compared to other AmeriCorps programs and was rated poorly in a recent Federal management assessment. The Corporation is committed to building up the rapid and flexible disaster recovery capacity of the NCCC within the rest of the national service portfolio. • The budget requests $34 .1 million for Learn and Serve America, an eight percent decrease from the 2006 enacted budget of $37 million . We expect this budget to support the participation of about 1.2 million students in 1,500 local service-learning programs . In addition, this budget proposes $1 .1 million for training and techn ical assistance, which will go to the National Service-Learn ing Clearinghouse. We are also proposing new funding of $400,000 for the Students in Service Initiative Support, which will promote the spread of service learn ing to more schools in America. http://www.cns.gov/assets/printable/printable_statements.asp?tbl_pr_id=248 2/13/2006 �Printable Page Page 2 of2 • In this budget environment, the Corporation will be increasing its focus on management excellence, seeking cost savings and efficiencies wherever possible. In that regard , this request increases the program administration fund s, largely for a one-time investment in information technology security upgrades and the consolidation of our administrative service centers, which will unfortunately mean the elimination of some staff positions. We believe, however, that these reforms will allow us to deliver a higher level of service at a lower cost over time. The release of the President's budget is just the first step in a long journey. Next come appropriations hearings in the House and Senate later th is spring , followed by committee mark-ups , floor consideration , conference committees , and more. I pledge to all of you that we will be open , transparent and quick to communicate with you as this situation develops. In th at spirit, you will find our entire budget justification posted on the Corporation 's website later today, after it is delivered to Congress. Sincerely, David Eisner CEO , Corporation for National and Community Service ### VIEWED ON: Monday, February 13, 2006 URL: http ://www.nationalservice.gov/abouUnewsroom/statements detail.asp?tbl pr id=248 http ://www.cns.gov/assets/printable/printable_statements.asp?tbl_pr_id=248 2/ 13/2006 �R e s·o u r c e E x h i b i t s .

Information on the 2004 - 2005 program y ear current as ofMay 3, 2005 �SFORNATIONALSERVICE The Honorable George W. Bush The White House 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, NW Washington, D .C. 20500 Dear Mr. President: On behalf of the national service community, we are writing to thank you for your commitment to AmeriCorps and Learn and Serve America and to request that you demonstrate continued support by proposing an increase for these programs in your fiscal year 2007 budget. While AmeriCorps and Learn and Serve are relatively small investments, both programs have made a profound impact on America's needs , contributing to community renewal and strengthening the ties that bind us together as a nation. Together AmeriCorps and Learn and Serve America provide a continuum of service opportunities from childhood through adulthood, and program continuity and growth is critical to their success. AmeriCorps has grown under your leadership, expanding by a historic 50% in 2004. However, since that record appropriation in FY04, funding for AmeriCorps State and National grants has been on a steady, persistent decline. From fiscal year 2004 to fiscal year 2006, grant support has been reduced by nearly 16 percent, $49 million. If this downward trend continues, many nonprofits - particularly those in rural and lowwealth communities where private sector funding is limited - will be forced to discontinue their AmeriCorps programs and the non-profit community will lose the valuable expertise and resources these programs offer. Declining programmatic support also makes your goal of 7 5,000 AmeriCorps members that much more elusive. We are very concerned that the combination of diminishing appropriations and rising operating costs will force the Corporation for National and Community Service to make programmatic compromises that will undermine the historic nature and fundamental character of AmeriCorps. The AmeriCorps program is a vital resource for our communities and Voices for National Service believes that it will require at least $442 million in grants and investments in the National Service Trust- the same level that you requested in fiscal year 2005 --to enable 75,000 members to serve while maintaining the historical balance between full-time, part-time, and Education award only AmeriCorps members. Since 1994, AmeriCorps has engaged more than 400,000 members in intensive service, working with more than 3,000 nonprofits, public agencies and faith-based organizations to address problems within four broad categories: "unmet human, educational, environmental, or public safety needs ." AmeriCorps members teach in underserved schools, tutor and mentor youth including the children of prisoners, run after-school programs, build affordable housing, prevent forest fires, and help communities respond to disasters . Hundreds of AmeriCorps state programs clean rivers and streams, enrich after school programs, support local law enforcement by providing meaningful alternatives to gangs, deliver services to the elderly, and meet other needs defUled by the communities in which they serve. This year, AmeriCorps members are serving more than two million children and youth, providing valuable resources to reach your goal of having all children able to read by third grade. They are also helping to recruit and train more than 600,000 community volunteers. Since September 11, 2001 the AmeriCorps program has expanded its work in public safety, public health, disaster relief, and homeland security; helping to prevent or mitigate the effects of man-made and natural disasters. In the wake of Hurricanes Katrina, Rita and Wilma, AmeriCorps programs joined local, state and national relief and recovery efforts to provide emergency assistance and long-term relief to the Gulf Coast region. More than 12,000 national service participants have responded to the disaster in the Gulf and across the nation by coordinating donations and volunteer management efforts, providing after-school activities for displaced school children, clearing debris, renovating and rehabilitating private homes and public buildings, and rebuilding communities. �Another Corporation for National and Community Service administered program, Learn and Serve America, distributes grants to elementary and secondary schools, colleges and community- and faith-based organizations to support and enable quality service-learning, which connects classroom lessons with meaningful service to the community. A report issued by the Corporation for National and Community Service last month found positive correlations between school-based service and student achievement, civic empowerment, interest in world events, and continued volunteering with organizations. Studies show that Learn and Serve America programs provide a return on investment of four dollars for each dollar invested. At an average cost of less than $25 per participant, this is an extremely costeffective federal education program, but one that must be consistently funded for students and communities to receive the greatest benefit. In FY05, you requested a small expansion in Learn and Serve America to support teacher training. This was first proposed increase in Learn and Serve funding since the program's inception, but the funds were not appropriated. This year, Congress actually passed a Labor-HHS Appropriations bill that reduced Learn and Serve funding to $37.5 million- a 12% cut in one year. At a time when the demand for service-learning by classrooms teachers is on a rise, the FY06 cuts will deny 200,000 students the opportunity to participate in these activities. After a decade of no growth, we request that you include $48 million for Learn and Serve America programs in your FY07 budget request, providing a modest $3 million increase for teacher training and $2 million for scientifically-based research. Simply restoring the existing program to $43 million will generate $172 million worth of services to local communities. We understand the difficult task you face trying to allocate limited government resources wisely. We must invest in programs that work and achieve positive results, and AmeriCorps and Learn and Serve do just that. Our members provide valuable assistance to children, adults and families in a variety of areas including education, the environment, public safety, public health, and housing, and federal support for national service leverages hundreds of millions more in public and private resources. Mr. President, we salute your commitment to unite Americans in an ethic of service, and AmeriCorps and Learn and Serve America are critical tools in your effort to meet pressing needs and train future leaders. With your continued leadership in the FY2007 budget process, we can keep working towards our mutual goal of expanding national service so that every American will have the opportunity to serve their community and their country.

Through AmeriCorps, Learn and Serve America and th e Sen ior Corps, more than 1.6 million citizens of all ages are rolling up thei r sleeves to tutor and mentor children, bu ild affordable housing, create playgrounds and parks, restore the environment, teach in underserved schools , bu ild t rails, care for elderly and homebound neighbors and provide critical services to low-income citizens. Our goal is to continue to grow the broad bipartisan support for national service that has eme rged over the last decade. The recent unp recedented disaster in the Gulf Coast requ ires an unprecedented response to tap the desire to serve by the American people. National service can play a vital role in recovery and rebuilding, and can provide a vehicle through wh ich communities and ind ividuals can bridge social divides and begin to heal. There are three cu rrent issues on which we want to share ou r views: We support the AmeriCorps D isaster Relief Corps Act of 2005, ca~sponsor~d by Senator Barack dbama and Representatives Harold Ford , Jr:, Tom Osborne, David Price, and Christophe'r: Shays which proposes to~ expand AmeriCorps by I0,000 members as a strategic response to the relief and recovery efforts in the Gulf Coast Region. T~ e Red Cross has called for 40,000 volunteers to ~ssist with recovery efforts; beyond direct service,'l}meriCorps can -· provide the infrastructu re, volunteer management and training necessary to effectively deploy volunteers. 4 meriCorps has a strong record of working with community and faith based organizations ~o improv,; public safety. 1public health, and emergency preparedness and response, and AmeriCorps programs can increase their level gf assistance_to die Gulf Coast and New Orleans communities with the addition of more ~meriCorps members> _~ FY06 Appropriations ~pproved by the Senate Appropriation~ Committee on July 14, 2005: $429 million for AmeriCorps and $42.6 million for Learn arq Seeye America: .

We believe that at this time,-when more Americans than ever before are stepping for.ward to serve their communities and -their country, funding for national service should not be reduced.

National service programs achieve direct and demonstrable results, ' while they strengthen the ties that bind us together as a nation. Every federal dollar invested in AmeriCorps results in $1 .60 to $2.60 or more in direct, measurable benefits to · AmeriCorps members and the communities they serve. Increas ing investment in AmeriCorps and Learn and Serve America would allow more Americans to serve, and create greater capacity to meet critical community needs for the benefit of children, families, the elderly, and the environment. An increased investment would also enable AmeriCorps members to play a sustained role in Hu rricane Katrina recovery efforts in the Gulf Coast.

Corporation for National and Community Service Fiscal Year 2007 Budget ConnectMichigan Alliance 1048 Pierpont Suite #3 Lansing, Michigan 48911 Phone: 517-492-2440 www .connectmichiganalliance.org www .servemichigan.org �Page 1 of1 Printable Page Monday, February 06, 2006 Office of the CEO Message on Fiscal Year 2007 Budget from David Eisner, CEO, Corporation for National and Community Service Dear Colleagues: A few minutes ago, the President released his budget request for fiscal year 2007. To continue our vital work to improve lives, strengthen communities , and foster civic engagement through service and volunteering , the Administration has requested a FY 2007 budget for the Corporation of $851 .5 million . The proposed budget will enable the Corporation to support 75,000 AmeriCorps members, approximately 500,000 Senior Corps volunteers, and some one million Learn and Serve America participants. In addition , the budget will allow the Corporation 's programs to mobilize and manage at least one million community volunteers, bringing to more than 2.5 million the total number of Americans engaged in community service through our programs . Click here read the full Congressional Budget Justification for Fiscal 2007. The President is committed to national service; he is also committed to controlling spending and reducing the deficit. That entails some hard choices for discretionary spending . The budget proposes elimination or sign ificant reduction of 141 programs across the government, including the AmeriCorps*NCCC program with in the Corporation for National and Community Service. In the FY 2007 budget, the Corporation has a reduction of 5.4 percent, which adds up to $48.5 million. More than half of that reduction comes from the proposed shut down of AmeriCorps*NCCC . Our goal with this budget request is to sustain our ability to meet key strategic goals, continue savings through management improvements, and raise our level of service to our partners and grantees . In all of these areas, I believe we succeeded in this proposal. Here is an overview of the Corporation's 2007 request: • For Senior Corps, this budget requests $217 million, a continuation of the enacted budget for FY 2006 . There are no reductions to Senior Corps programs: RSVP (Retired Senior Volunteer Program) continues at the FY 06 enacted funding of $59.6 million ; the Foster Grandparent Program will continue the 2006 funding of $110 million ; and the Senior Companion Program will also hold steady at $46 .9 million . The funding will support more than 1,200 grantees and approximately 500,000 volunteers . • For AmeriCorps Grants and the National Service Trust combined, this budget requests $383 .6 million . This level, when combined with the $95.4 million requested for AmeriCorps*VISTA and $13 million carried over from 2006, will support 75,000 members . • For AmeriCorps*NCCC , this budget requests only $4 .9 million , which is intended to cover the cost of closing our campuses. This is a difficult decision , given the popularity of the program with our participants and partners, particularly in disaster response . However, the NCCC is costly compared to other AmeriCorps programs and was rated poorly in a recent Federal management assessment. The Corporation is committed to building up the rapid and flexible disaster recovery capacity of the NCCC within the rest of the national service portfolio. • The budget requests $34.1 million for Learn and Serve America , an eight percent decrease from the 2006 enacted budget of $37 million . We expect this budget to support the participation of about 1.2 million students in 1,500 local service-learning programs . In addition , this budget proposes $1.1 mill ion for train ing and technical assistance , which will go to the National Service-Learning Clearinghouse. We are also proposing new funding of $400 ,000 for the Students in Service Initiative Support, which will promote the spread of service learning to more schools in America . http: //www.cns.gov /assets/printable/printable_statements.asp?tbl _pr_id=248 2113 /2006 �Page 2 of2 Printable Page • In this budget environment, the Corporation will be increasing its focus on management excellence, seeking cost savings and efficiencies wherever possible. In that regard , this request increases the program administration fun ds, largely for a one-time investment in information technology security upgrades and the consolidation of our administrative service centers , which will unfortunately mean the elimination of some staff positions. We believe, however, that these reforms will allow us to deliver a higher level of service at a lower cost over time . The release of the President's budget is just the first step in a long journey. Next come appropriations hearings in the House and Senate later this spring, followed by committee mark-ups, floor consideration , conference committees , and more . I pledge to all of you that we will be open , transparent and quick to communicate with you as this situation develops. In that spirit, you will find our entire budget justification posted on the Corporation 's website later today, after it is delivered to Congress. Sincerely, David Eisner CEO , Corporation for National and Community Service ### -------·VIEWED ON: Monday, February 13, 2006 URL: http://www.nationalservice.gov/aboutlnewsroom/statements detail.asp?tbl pr id=248 http ://www.cns.gov/assets/printable/printable_statements.asp?tbl_pr_id=248 2/13/2006 �Exhibit 14: FY 2007 Budget Request by Activity (dollars in thousands) Activity FY 2005 FY 2006 1 3 Enacted Programs Learn and Serve America: K-12 and Higher Ed AmeriCorps*National Civilian Community Corps AmeriCorps*State and National AmeriCorps*Volunteers in Service to America (VISTA) Enacted FY 2007 Difference Request 2007-2006 $42,656 $37,1 25 $34,155 (2,970) 25 , 296 26 , 730 4,950 (21,780) 287,680 264 , 825 258 ,959 (5 , 866) 94 , 240 95 ,464 95 ,466 2 National Senior Service Corps Retired and Senior Volunteer Program Foster Grandparent Program Senior Companion Program Subtotal, Senior Programs 58 , 528 59,685 59 ,685 111 , 424 110,937 110,943 45 , 905 46,964 46,964 215 , 857 217 , 586 217 , 592 6 6 Special Volunteer Programs 4,960 Homeland Security 4,960 Subtotal , Special Volunteer Programs Partnership Grants Points of Light Foundation 9,920 9, 900 9,900 America's Promise 4 464 4 950 4 950 14,384 14,850 14,850 13 , 227 16 ,281 9,029 3, 522 3,960 3,960 142 , 848 138 ,600 124 ,720 11 ' 904 12,516 12,516 856 , 574 827, 937 776 , 197 (51' 740) 64 , 480 66 , 083 70 , 315 4, 232 5, 952 5, 940 4, 950 (990) 927,006 899 ,959 851,461 (48,498) Subtotal , Partnership Grants Innovation , Assistance , and Other Activities Evaluation National Service Trust State Commission Admin Grants Total Programs Program Administration 2 Office of the Inspector General Total, Corporation (7,252) (13, 880) 1 Fiscal ZOOS amounts reflect the government -wide rescission of .8 percen t Reflects consolidation of DVSA Program Admin is tration and NCSA Salaries and Expenses into a single account. 3 Fiscal Z006 amounts reflect the government-wide rescission of 1 percent Z _ '1 N l.

Info rmation on th e 2 004 -2 005 program year current as ofMay 3, 2005 �FORNATIONALSERVICE The Honorable George W . Bush The White House 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, NW Washington, D .C. 20500 Dear Mr. President: On behalf of the national service community, we are writing to thank you for your commitment to AmeriCorps and Learn and Serve America and to request that you demonstrate continued support by proposing an increase for these programs in your fiscal year 2007 budget. While AmeriCorps and Learn and Serve are relatively small investments, both programs have made a profound impact on America's needs, contributing to community renewal and strengthening the ties that bind us together as a nation. Together AmeriCorps and Learn and Serve America provide a continuum of service opportunities from childhood through adulthood, and program continuity and growth is critical to their success. AmeriCorps has grown under your leadership, expanding by a historic 50% in 2004. However, since that record appropriation in FY04, funding for AmeriCorps State and National grants has been on a steady, persistent decline. From fiscal year 2004 to fiscal year 2006, grant support has been reduced by nearly 16 percent, $49 million. If this downward trend continues, many nonprofits - particularly those in rural and lowwealth communities where private sector funding is limited - will be forced to discontinue their AmeriCorps programs and the non-profit community will lose the valuable expertise and resources these programs offer. Declining programmatic support also makes your goal of 75,000 AmeriCorps members that much more elusive. We are very concerned that the combination of diminishing appropriations and rising operating costs will force the Corporation for National and Community Service to make programmatic compromises that will undermine the historic nature and fundamental character of AmeriCorps. The AmeriCorps program is a vital resource for our communities and Voices for National Service believes that it will require at least $442 million in grants and investments in the National Service Trust- the same level that you requested in fiscal year 2005 --to enable 75,000 members to serve while maintaining the historical balance between full-time, part-time, and Education award only AmeriCorps members . Since 1994, AmeriCorps has engaged more than 400,000 members in intensive service, working with more than 3,000 nonprofits , public agencies and faith-based organizations to address problems within four broad categories: "unmet human, educationaL environmental, or public safety needs ." AmeriCorps members teach in underserved schools, tutor and mentor youth including the children of prisoners, run after-school programs, build affordable housing, prevent forest fires, and help communities respond to disasters . Hundreds of AmeriCorps state programs clean rivers and streams, enrich after school programs, support local law enforcement by providing meaningful alternatives to gangs, deliver services to the elderly, and meet other needs defined by the communities in which they serve. This year, AmeriCorps members are serving more than two million children and youth, providing valuable resources to reach your goal of having all children able to read by third grade. They are also helping to recruit and train more than 600,000 community volunteers. Since September 11, 2001 the AmeriCorps program has expanded its work in public safety, public health, disaster relief, and homeland security; helping to prevent or mitigate the effects of man-made and natural disasters . In the wake of Hurricanes Katrina, Rita and Wilma, AmeriCorps programs joined local, state and national relief and recovery efforts to provide emergency assistance and long-term relief to the Gulf Coast region. More than 12,000 national service participants have responded to the disaster in the Gulf and across the nation by coordinating donations and volunteer management efforts, providing after-school activities for displaced school children, clearing debris, renovating and rehabilitating private homes and public buildings, and rebuilding communities. �Another Corporation for National and Community Service administered program, Learn and Serve America, distributes grants to elementary and secondary schools, colleges and community- and faith-based organizations to support and enable quality service-learning, which connects classroom lessons with meaningful service to the community. A report issued by the Corporation for National and Community Service last month found positive correlations between school-based service and student achievement, civic empowerment, interest in world events, and continued volunteering with organizations. Studies show that Learn and Serve America programs provide a return on investment of four dollars for each dollar invested. At an average cost of less than $25 per participant, this is an extremely costeffective federal education program, but one that must be consistently funded for students and communities to receive the greatest benefit. In FY05, you requested a small expansion in Learn and Serve America to support teacher training. This was first proposed increase in Learn and Serve funding since the program's inception, but the funds were not appropriated. This year, Congress actually passed a Labor-HHS Appropriations bill that reduced Learn and Serve funding to $37.5 million- a 12% cut in one year. At a time when the demand for service-learning by classrooms teachers is on a rise, the FY06 cuts will deny 200,000 students the opportunity to participate in these activities. After a decade of no growth, we request that you include $48 million for Learn and Serve America programs in your FY07 budget request, providing a modest $3 million increase for teacher training and $2 million for scientifically-based research. Simply restoring the existing program to $43 million will generate $172 million worth of services to local communities. We understand the difficult task you face trying to allocate limited goverrunent resources wisely. We must invest in programs that work and achieve positive results, and AmeriCorps and Learn and Serve do just that. Our members provide valuable assistance to children, adults and families in a variety of areas including education, the environment, public safety, public health, and housing, and federal support for national service leverages hundreds of millions more in public and private resources . Mr. President, we salute your commitment to unite Americans in an ethic of service, and AmeriCorps and Learn and Serve America are critical tools in your effort to meet pressing needs and train future leaders. With your continued leadership in the FY2007 budget process, we can keep working towards our mutual goal of expanding national service so that every American will have the opportunity to serve their community and their country.

Strengthening America through National Service: Investing in AmeriCorps, Learn and Serve America, and the Senior Corps Thank you for supporting the hundreds of thousands of Americans who bring energy, skills and hope to communities from coast to coast through national service. Through AmeriCorps , Learn and Serve America and the Sen ior Corps, more than 1.6 million citizens of all ages are rolling up their sleeves to tutor and mentor children, build affordable housing, create playgrounds and parks, restore the environment, teach in underserved schools, build trails , care for elderly and homebound neighbors and provide critical services to low-income citizens. Our goal is to continue to grow the broad bipartisan support for national service that has emerged over the last decade. The recent unprecedented disaster in the Gulf Coast requires an unprecedented response to tap the desire to serve by the American people. National service can play a vital role in recovery and rebuilding, and can provide a vehicle through which communities and individuals can bridge social divides and begin to heal.

They then practiced reading and understanding the book with a second grade buddy. Finally, each kindergartener met a pre-school student during kindergarten round up, gave them their book, and read it to them. As a result teachers noted increased confidence among the students in both reading and adjusting to the schooling process.

Executive Slunmary The mission of the American Red Cross AmeriCorps Together We.Prepare (ATWP) program is to provide vital emergency assistance to communities affected by disasters and increase preparedness in the areas of greatest need before disasters strike by recruiting, training and supporting young adults who will provide integrated community outreach and education through Red Cross service activities focusing on Homeland Security. Close to 60 percent of Americans are slumbering when it comes to preparedness, according to Marsha Evans, President and CEO of the American Red Cross. Michigan Red Cross Chapters are committed to a new organizational design that supports the strategic goal of the American Red Cross to ensure that individuals, families and organizations are prepared for disasters and other life-threatening emergencies. The proposed 9 ATWP sites, hosted by American Red Cross Chapters represent the diversity of our state, the types of communities (urban, rural and suburban) served, and the types of disasters addressed. ATWP members will provide disaster preparedness and personal safety information to community members, recruit volunteers from communities, and increase each involved American Red Cross chapters' capacity to respond to disasters throughout Michigan and the nation while involving local communities in the process. ATWP members will also provide education geared towards young adults designed to raise awareness about the importance of and need for blood donation to foster a new generation of lifelong blood donors. The ATWP program provides the tools and training necessary for Michigan residents to take personal responsibility for their own safety. Whether it's an act of terrorism or a natural or man-made disaster, there are five easy steps that everyone can take to prepare. The five building blocks of the ATWP program include; making a family disaster plan, preparing a family disaster supplies kit, getting trained, volunteering, and giving blood. �·~ I ( "' I G ~ ll COMMUNITY SERVICE C•J"' MISS ON + A.merlc.n Red Cro&s T~MCDII5<1WD t/fr 0 . - T OGETH ER WEPREPAR E THE MISSION OF THE AMERICORPS TOGETHER WE PREPARE PROGRAM IS TO PROVIDE VITAL EMERGENCY ASSISTANCE TO VICTIMS AND COMMUNITIES AFFECTED BY DISASTER AND TO INCREASE PREPAREDNESS IN THE AREAS OF GREATEST NEED BEFORE DlSASTERS STRIKE BY RECRUITING, TRAINING AND SUPPORTING YOUNG ADULTS IN RED CROSS DIRECT SERVICE ACTIVITIES .
