Bob Kahle joined us and presented on the Volunteer Centers of Michigan (a copy of his presentation is in the board meeting packets that were sent out prior to the meeting). MCSC staff also presented on the new Mentor Michigan Standards and AmeriCorps Standards and Rulemaking. During the retreat, Russ Mawby gave an excellent presentation on why service and volunteerism is critical to our state. The Commissioners then participated in discussions at their tables on how to create an epidemic of service and volunteerism in Michigan and defining who our partners are and how to work more closely with them. The retreat closed on Thursday evening with a discussion on steps toward creating the epidemic ofvolunteerism. The Commissioners agreed to focus on three areas this year: 1. Mentor Michigan: Use mentoring and service to create forward movement toward the Cherry Commission goals. 2. Cool Companies/Cool Cities: Broaden the definition of cool places to live and work to include a service component. Rely on CEO-to-CEO outreach to explain the value to companies ofhaving organized volunteer efforts. Connect the dots between the mentoring initiative listed above, the Cherry Commission and Cool Cities. 3. Great media: Tell the story of our national leadership and prototype the Michigan infrastructure. Sharing what's great about Michigan regarding volunteerism. Commissioners signed up to participate in discussions on one of these three areas and will meet via conference call prior to the next MCSC Board Meeting (scheduled for Wednesday, November 9th). You will receive email communication on this from me soon. �The next MCSC Board Meeting will be held on Wednesday, November 9th' from 9:00a.m. to 2:30p.m. in Detroit. This meeting will be held in conjunction with the AmeriCorps Member Celebration, which is the kickoff ceremony for AmeriCorps members for their year of service.

Citizens serve others in innumerable ways locally, regionally, and worldwide--assisting in homeland security, caring for a neighbor, restoring critical natural habitats, mentoring youth and emphasizing the importance of family structures, engaging faith-based and community organizations, and performing other volunteer activities. Governors believe federal service programs such as AmeriCorps, Citizen Corps, Learn and Serve America, the Peace Corps, and Senior Corps provide substantial opportunities and benefits to our nation, the volunteers, and those served. Governors build, support, and promote public-private partnerships to promote an ethic of service that encourages citizens to serve in meaningful ways that reflect the real needs of communities, states, and the nation. 9.2 Principles Governors remain steadfast in their desire to continue and strengthen a national service network that is guided by the following principles. • Promote a strong partnership among federal, state, and local governments, as well as the volunteer, philanthropic, education, faith, and business communities, to emphasize the importance of building connections among citizens to combat isolationism and promote communitywide involvement. • Recognize the multitude of related federal and state programs and seek to streamline and integrate such programs into a comprehensive network based on effective practices and outcomes. • Encourage creativity and diversity among service programs so that citizens of all ages, religions, and backgrounds have the opportunity to participate. • Ensure that the nation's future is stewarded by individuals who, while in their youth, have access to fundamental and vital resources, including an ongoing mentoring relationship with a caring adult, a safe place and structured activities to live and grow, a healthy start, marketable skills through effective education, and an opportunity to give back through their own service to their communities. 9.3 Federal-State Partnership Recommendations Governors play a key role in promoting service opportunities. Based on the http://www.nga.org/portaVsite/nga/menuitem.616fOcf559d998d18a27811 050101 OaO/?vgne... 9/15/2005 �National Governors Association Page 2 of2 aforementioned principles, Governors offer the following recommendations to the federal government. • Continue to foster and support gubernatorial leadership in involving interested people, as well as local and state organizations (including nonprofit, faith-based, philanthropic, and community-based organizations), the private sector, and others, in developing statewide strategies for community problem-solving through service and volunteerism. • Provide adequate and stable federal resources to support high-quality national and community service programs on a fair and competitive basis with maximum flexibility and a minimum of federal procedures or regulations. • Reauthorize the National and Community Service Trust Act with modifications that address the issues of duplication, insufficient resources, and maximum flexibility and accountability. • Ensure that state education agencies receive adequate administrative and program resources to enable schools to provide the opportunity for every student to participate in service learning at every grade. • Allocate federal funds to states for demonstration initiatives that provide Governors the flexibility and opportunity to showcase innovative models that work to solve community problems through service and volunteerism.

The National Service Congressional Caucus is a bipartisan group of Members of Congress dedicated to raising awareness of national service and expanding opportunities for all Americans to serve. As a caucus, our goal is to recognize the extraordinary service by Americans in countless communities across the country by providing leadership and support to ensure that our national service programs remain strong and continue to grow. Today, representatives of national service programs have come to Washington, D.C. to share stories of the important role that national service programs play in meeting critical community needs across America. Seldom has there been a time in our nation's history when service - military or civilian - has been of more critical importance to our nation's strength and security. In the past few weeks, national service programs have responded to the needs of Gulf Coast communities affected by Hurricane Katrina by sending AmeriCorps NCCC, AmeriCorps VISTA, and other national service members to the region to provide direct assistance. We hope that you will consider joining the National Service Congressional Caucus to support the expansion of opportunities for Americans to serve. If you would like to participate or have any questions, please contact Sarah Moore in Congressman Shays' office at x55541 or Catherine Liao in Congressman Price's office at x51784.

Dear Friends: Thank you for your letter about AmeriCorps achievements and funding. I appreciate your commitment to national and community service. AmeriCorps is one of our Nation's vital community programs. In neighborhoods across the country, AmeriCorps members are addressing critical needs, from mentoring at-risk youth and feeding the homeless to strengthening public safety and promoting environmental stewardship. AmeriCorps programs also increase civic engagement and help build a culture of service, citizenship, and responsibility throughout our Nation. Over the past 4 years, my Administration has taken important steps to enhance AmeriCorps. Through the USA Freedom Corps, we have worked to recruit more Americans for volunteer service and bring more visibility to AmeriCorps. Record funding levels have expanded AmeriCorps to an unprecedented 75,000 members. We have also guided the Corporation for National and Community Service through reforms that have strengthened the AmeriCorps program and positioned it for future stability and growth. Our effort to strengthen national and community service is guided by several principles: to encourage greater engagement of Americans in volunteering, to be more responsive, more accountable, and more effective to State and local needs, and to expand opportunities for the involvement of faith-based and other community organizations. I will continue to work to ensure that AmeriCorps remains robust and vibrant. Thank you again for taking the time to write .. •. .,. "'i �VOICESFORNATIONALSERVICE 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 Senior 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 d~sire to serve by the American people. National service can play a vital role in recovery and rebuilding; ~d. can provide a vehicle through which communities and individuals can bridge social divides and begin to heal: There are three current issues on which we want to share our views: AmeriCorps Disaster Relief Corps Act of 2005 We support the AmeriCorps Disaster Relief Corps Act of 2005, co-sponsored by Senator Barack Obama and Representatives Harold Ford. Jr., Tom Osborne, David Price, and Christopher Shays which proposes to expand AmeriCorps by 1O,CXXJ members as a strategic response to the relief and recovery efforts in the Gulf Coast Region. The Red Cross has called for 40,CXXJ volunteers to assist with recovery efforts; beyond direct service, AmeriCorps members can provide the infrastructure; volunteer management and training necessary to effectively deploy volunteers. AmeriCorps has a strong record of working with community and faith based organizations to improve public safety, public health, and emergency preparedness and response, and AmeriCorps programs can increase their level of assistance to the Gulf Coast and New Orleans communities with the addition of more AmeriCorps members. FY06 Appropriations We support funding levels for AmeriCorps and Learn and Serve America as approved by the Senate Appropriations Committee on July 14, 2005: $429 million for AmeriCorps and $42.6 million for Learn and Serve America. We believe that at this time, when more Americans than ever before are stepping forward to serve their communities and their country, funding for national service should not be reduced . If approved in conference, this appropriation will essentially provide level funding, helping to sustain the national service infrastructure and providing opportunities for more than 75,(Xl0 Americans to serve and more than 1 million students to participate in service-learning activities. FY07 Appropriations We support the expansion of AmeriCorps in FY07 to 150,CXXJ, double the current enrollment of 75,000 members. and a growth in the appropriation for Learn and Serve America to $46 million to support to support scientificallybased research and additional grants for local schools and communities. Seldom has there been a time in our nation's history when service- military or civilian- has been of more critical importance to our nation's strength and security. National service programs achieve direct and demonstrable results, while they strengthen the ties that bind us together as a nation. Thank you for your leadership and support of national service; we hope that together we can continue to strengthen and expand opportunities for all Americans to serve. -r'' www.

Welcome and Introduction - Chairperson Mulhern The meeting was called to order at 8: 10 a.m. by Chairperson Mulhern and he gave a brief summary of the Board Retreat which took place the prior day. II. Review and Approval of May 20, 2005 Minutes - Chairperson Mulhern Chairperson Mulhern asked for a motion to approve the minutes from the May 20, 2005 board meeting. Commissioner Mawby moved to approve the minutes, Commissioner Newport seconded the motion. The motion passed unanimously. III. Standing Committee Reports A. IV. Review of Executive Committee Meeting Chairperson Mulhern discussed the minutes of the August 26, 2005 Executive Committee meeting which were distributed to board members. During the meeting (via conference call) they discussed the agenda for the September 22-23 Board Retreat and Meeting and staff recommendations for the Learn & Serve School-Based Funding. A memo from Paula Kaiser dated August 24, 2005, outlined the proposals. Chairperson Mulhern shared that there was discussion of the schools that don't apply for the funding and that the MCSC is going to try to be more pro-active in targeting charter schools and the city public schools. Updates on Progress and Challenges A. Volunteer Center/VIG Update - Bob Kahle presented on the Volunteer Centers ofMichigan Impact Evaluation. There are 32 Volunteer Centers around the state. The purpose was to take a look at them to see the work that they are doing, their strengths and weaknesses, and how can to improve the efficiencies oftheir outcomes. Through Phase I of the project, Mr. Kahle wanted to find out the Volunteer Centers ' success stories, get feedback on their expansion and how to move the volunteer movement to cover all the counties in the state, and understand their affiliation with the Points of Light Foundation. He met with several organizations including Volunteer Centers both in Michigan and other states, telephone focus groups, funding sources, and the Points of Light Foundation. Key findings of Phase I: There is wide diversity in organization, services provided and other dimensions. The first commonality of all the centers is that they connect volunteers with opportunities to serve. The second is their work as conveners or collaborators. There is very little useful evaluation data, tools or resources in place. They do not think or operate 2 �in tenns of impact. Process, not outcome, is the primary focus. Services provided by Volunteer Centers are often intangible, perceived as immeasurable, difficult to define. There is tension within the Volunteer Center environment nationally and locally, and between POLF and United Way. They are at a crucial crossroad because the POLF is requesting the Volunteer Centers sign on to an Affiliation Agreement. The Volunteer Centers have three concerns around the agreement: "Super Brand", core programs, and shared fundraising. Also the trust and confidence in POLF is quite low among Volunteer Center leaders. Many Michigan Volunteer Centers would like to expand but they feel they don't have the resources to even continue providing the same level of service they are today. Key Implications: Impact evaluation requires more than research. There needs to be common tools, training, and common definitions of what's necessary for the outcome/impact research. Most important, the mindsets of the Volunteer Center leaders needs to be changed from being focused on process and self sustainability to being focused on producing documented outcome for their community. Recommendations: Rethink the data collection approaches for phase II, develop component style database, the definitions being defined, and flexible components to capture the uniqueness. B. Executive Director's Report - Janet Lawson gave a brief update on MCSC issues. Ms. Lawson shared that the National Governor's Association has developed a National and Community Service Policy which recognizes the importance of service. She also shared that the CNCS has developed a new strategic plan (a copy of the draft plan was distributed) and is open for comments. The MCSC has a new e-mentoring opportunity that Janet and Amber Reiss have been working on with Oakland Schools and the Department of Labor and Economic Growth (DLEG). Kathy Young-Welch discussed the U.S . Census model on a community awareness effort to get people engaged. The MCSC could duplicate that model to make every sector of the community aware of volunteerism and service. There is something everybody could use to support voltmteerism. There would be strategic asks for each of the sectors. If the conversation is with corporations, can they make sure there is a volunteer message in their weekly newsletters or can they create a volunteer program within their organization that employees can support. Can a church do something to create more mentors. Bob Kahle could possibly help create some measurables as the asks are made. The Governor Service Awards could be tied to recognizing volunteerism in individual municipalities. Kathy took this model of awareness to the Detroit Promise and it was very successful. 3 �C. Staff Retreat- Ms. Lawson shared that, thanks to Commissioner Whipple, the MCSC staffhad a staff retreat in August at the Consumers Energy Retreat Center in South Haven. One of the key outcomes of the staff session of where the Commission needs to go was to develop a plan to develop and maintain relationships. Tllis would be obtained by educating stakeholders and legislators, strengthening ties with local partners and grantees, developing local champions, creating stronger relationships with alumni and friends, and creating stronger alliances with CMF, CMA, National Mentoring Partnership, etc. There was also conversation on how the MCSC staff can do a better job of engaging Commissioners in a better way than has previously been done. D. Mentor Michigan- Ms. Lawson introduced Amber Reiss, the Mentor Miclligan Program Coordinator. Amber gave a brief summary of her background. Ms. Lawson explained that the Mentor Michigan Providers Council has been working on quality program standards. At the four regional meetings this summer, the standards were discussed and attendees had the opportunity to provide feedback. Amber explained the eleven standards: Standard 1: Definition of Mentoring- definition of mento ring, consistent contact, 4-10 hours together each month, and group ratio established. Standard 2: Recruitment Plan - a recruitment plan for mentors and mentees and a system for follow-up Standard 3: Eligibility Screening- program screens mentors and metnees for eligibility. Standard 4: Orientation and training - program provides mentor, mentee and parent/guardian orientation and training by trained staff or volunteers. Standard 5: Matching Strategy - program has a well-documented matching strategy. Standard 6: Match Monitoring Process- program maintains and implements a process that monitors matches. Standard 7: Mentor Support, Recognition, and Retention- program supports the mentoring relationships, recognized volunteers, and strategies for volunteer rentention. Standard 8: Match Closure - program has a process for match closure. Standard 9: Program Evaluation - program conducts an evaluation process. Tllis is one of the most changing measures for mentoring programs. Standard 10: Organizational Management- program has established organizational management practices. Standard 11: Governance- program has a governance structure. The standards have been very well received by the mentoring organizations. The Providers Council will be making these final in October. There are plans to look at the standards and look at the results 4 �of the census and develop trainings to get organizations in line with these standards. Mary Grill gave a brief update on National Mentoring Month (January) and the activities that MCSC will be doing. The Detroit Pistons will be participating in National Mentoring Month. There will be a PSA with a Pistons player, Governor Granholm and Dan Mulhern that will be played throughout the month during the games and throughout the state. On MLK day, there will be an on-court presentation recognizing mentors and a booth set up on mentoring. Commissioners will be asked to consider doing an op-ed article on mentoring for local papers and to participate in local activities in their communities. Keep in mind that January 25 is "Thank Your Mentor Day" and there will be several events going on around that. Chairperson Mulhern asked the Commissioners to be proactive about National Mentoring Month, try to connect with organizations in their local communities to promote mentoring, and to contact local media (radio, newspapers, etc) to promote mentoring. Ms. Lawson distributed the Mentor Michigan Budget to Commissioners and gave an update on contributions from Governor's Service Awards, John Hancock, Siemens, Detroit Auto Dealers Association, Hudson Weber and National Mentoring Partnership. E. Review ofMCSC Budget and Audit Resolution- Garry Gross gave an update on MCSC Budget. He also presented the preliminary audit findings. The MCSC faired very well on the audit as there was only one reportable condition for inclusion in the audit report. F. Cross Stream Training- Megan Sargent presented information on the Cross Stream Training event that will be taking place on October 20-21. The MCSC will partner with the CNCS Michigan office for a collaboration and training event for all national service programs in Michigan. The goal is to get all service streams to work better together. Commissioners are welcome to attend. G. CMA/Serve Michigan Update- Kyle Caldwell explained the ConnectMichigan Alliance (CMA) and the partnerships between CMA, MCSC, Michigan Nonprofit Association, Michigan Campus Compact and Michigan Volunteers Center. H. AmeriCorps a. Standards - Andy Younger shared that the MCSC has been working on AmeriCorps standards. He explained that the AmeriCorps Program Coordinators at MCSC have been working with their programs to make sure they are in compliance with the national and state policies around AmeriCorps. All of the technical assistance and trainings that 5 �the MCSC holds for the programs focus on these areas so that they don't fail around these policies and have audit issues. The MCSC is creating benchmarks for what a high quality program would look like. Over the past several months, an ArneriCorps committee has worked with a national technical assistance provider to bring MCSC staff, former and current ArneriCorps program directors that have a knowledge and understanding of ArneriCorps and what good, high quality program would look like to develop a set of standards and criteria. The MCSC is still in the process of developing and defining the standards. There are six major areas under which there are standards. Those include site success, member success, communication impact, sustainability, community strengthening and involvement, and evaluations and impact. The final standards will be rolled out the first of the year. b. Rulemaking - Andy Younger gave a brief overview of the new ArneriCorps Rule. A summary of the new rule was included in the Commissioner board packets. The key points that will affect the MCSC are around the sustainability and match criteria. Other areas include the fundraising activities that members engage in and around the tutoring requirements. One of the biggest areas that could potentially affect the MCSC is the state commissions flexibility to operate a national service program. I. Service Learning - Jeanine Yard shared information on a survey done by Public Sector Consultants on Service Leaming in Michigan. A copy of the Executive Summary was distributed to Commissioners. One of the key findings was that there are more teachers and students engaged in service learning than in 2002. Another finding is that service leaming is happening with individual teachers, and not necessarily district wide. It was also leamed that high schools are more likely to have service learning along with urban schools, rather than suburban or rural schools. One of the conclusions of the survey was that there is plenty of room for expansiOn. J. Govemor' s Service Awards- Mary Grill went over the GSA Financial Summary and the recommendation for the MCSC portion of the funds . After splitting the funds with the Michigan Campus Compact, the MCSC will have $83 ,889. Chairperson Mulhem thanked the MCSC staff for their commitment to the MCSC and its mission. 6 �V. New Business A. Report Out from Retreat - Chairperson Mulhern asked the Commissioners to sign up for one of three goals/committees that were established during the retreat and asked that each committee meet one time (via conference call) prior to the next MCSC Board Meeting. VII. Adjourn Commissioner Newport made a motion to adjourn. Commissioner Young-Welch seconded the motion. The meeting was adjourned at 12:15 pm. 7 � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Angelia Salas, Michigan Community Service Commission Amy Srnitter, Michigan Campus Compact Jeanine Yard, Michigan Community Service Commission 1 �I. Welcome and Introduction - Chairperson Mulhern The meeting was called to order at 9:15a.m. by Chairperson Mulhern and he welcomed everyone to the meeting. Janet Lawson introduced Evan Albert, the new State Director for Michigan for the Corporation for National and Community Service (CNCS). II. Review and Approval of February 11, 2005 Minutes- Chairperson Mulhern A couple areas of the minutes were discussed. The first area was on page four and Commissioners discussed having Congressman McCotter attend the next board meeting. He was not available but will be invited to attend a future meeting. The second area discussed was also from page four and referred to Chairman Mulhern's recommendation that at the next board meeting there would be a discussion on the relationship between the State Board of Education and the MCSC. He announced that there is a new Superintendent and that once he comes on board, we will have this discussion. Chairperson Mulhern asked for a motion to approve the minutes from the February 11, 2005 board meeting. Commissioner Parker moved to approve the minutes, Commissioner Mawby seconded the motion. The motion passed unanimously. III. Learn & Serve Presentation Angelia Salas introduced representatives from L'Anse Creuse. Emma De' Angelis, a Service Learning Coordinator for the district, explained that their district has a service requirement of 40 hours. The community has embraced the idea that service is a part of life. The program started in 1992. Ann Hart, also a Service Learning Coordinator for the district, gave background on how their service-learning program began. Currently, every curriculum area at their schools have a service learning project. At least 50% of the high school teachers are using service learning in their classroom. Over 75% oflast year's graduating class had service learning experience. IV. Mentor Michigan A. Census II Results - Bob Kahle presented the Mentor Michigan Census Wave II results. The objectives of the census were to identify and track mentoring organizations, the programs they operate and the number of kids they match with mentors. The MCSC also wants to understand the program components, the needs of the mento ring organizations, and to encourage and support evaluation. He explained the "funnel" and how to build the mentoring movement in Michigan. The first step is to generate awareness and do a better job of recruitment. The next step of the funnel is mentor preparation and 2 �selection which is the background checking and the training issues. The final step is the actual mentoring. Mentoring generates positive outcomes for the kids, adults who mentor and the community. Out of 207 identified mentoring organizations, 136 completed the census. The MCSC intends to go back into the field in fall of 2005 . Out of 105 organizations that participated in Wave I of the census, 96 of them answered the survey the second time. One thing learned was that to have more mentors, you have to have more inquiries and have to generate more awareness. How did Mentor Michigan do in terms of inquiries and applications in 2004? There were almost 10,000 inquiries and almost 6,300 new applications. This is a significant increase in the number of new applications. In the first two months of 2005 there have been over 3,900 inquiries and 1,800 applications. From January to August 2004 there was a monthly average of 728 inquiries and almost 500 applications. From August 2004 to the end of the year, the monthly average also increased. The monthly averages for the first two months of 2005 increased to 1900 inquiries and 926 applications. Clearly there is momentum in the Mentoring Month activities. Mentor Michigan can now document that about 27,000 young people have been served in 2004 and almost 16,000 people volunteered to be mentors. From February 2004 to February 2005, 94 organizations reported increases in the number of youths they have matched with a mentor and 29% reported a decrease. The number of organizations reporting an increase were 3,282, those reporting a decrease were 1,066 for an increase of 2,216 more kids being mentored. There was also a growth of 1,438 active mentors from August 2004 to February 2005. This is due partly to the number of organizations that are now reporting but there is also growth in those organizations that reported in both periods. In terms of mentor and mentee demographics, there was a large increase of 18-25 year old mentors. There are more male youth being served and there is also an increase in the percentage of youth age 6-11 being served and a decline in the number of 12-14 year olds served. There is also changes in the race demographics. There are a large portion of Caucasians being served and a relatively small proportion of African-Americans being served. This does not mean that fewer African-Americans are being served but that there was reporting from new organizations that serve primarily Caucasians. There are two barriers to the growth of mento ring in Michigan. There are too few male mentors. More men need to be recruited to increase the number of kids being served. The second is the lack of staff support for recruitment. Mentoring organizations report that they are at their capacity in terms of the number of mentors they can serve. For many, they need to talk about operating budget enhancements or find a way to reduce the overhead of the mentoring organizations (i.e., screening, training, and match). One key thing to figure out is the loss of mentors after they have inquired because there is a 3 �big drop off between the number that inquire and the number of applications and a further drop off of those that are matched. The first reason is they won't fill out the written application. The second is the time requirement of being a mentor. There is a smaller decline after they learn about the needs and characteristics of the youth and also the training requirements. Liability was not an issue with 50% of the mentoring organizations. Another key point is the screening process. Several of the organizations don't want to go through the extra step of the extra costs of screening. As far as the criminal background check, only about 5% of applicants are not able to be mentors because of what was found in the background checks. It needs to be encouraged to all organizations that 100% of the applicants need to screened. Michigan's mentoring organizations are satisfied with the work of Mentor Michigan with 40% being very satisfied and 38% being somewhat satisfied. Only 18% of those surveyed were not aware ofMentor Michigan. They are satisfied through the marketing and awareness building, the recruitment support and the partnership and resource development. Process Recommendations- Using the funnel, there are three key areas: recruitment, mentor preparation and mentoring. Under recruitment, the three areas that need focus are to emphasize and support mentor retention, seek referrals from existing mentors, and become more targeted in recruitment efforts. Next is mentor preparation and selection. Many of the mentoring organizations are at or near capacity. It will be necessary to focus on workprocess efficiencies and to provide tools and training for mentoring organizations to seek operating support funds. Last is mentoring. It is important that we balance the objectives with not only more numbers of mentors, but also the quality of mentors. B. ConnectMichigan Alliance Report- Kyle Caldwell explained a proposal for an AmeriCorps program that would support Mentor Michigan. The goal is to gamer 1,000 additional volunteers in mentoring. It would take on two stages. The first would have a number of members that would work with communities to promote and strengthen local volunteer organizations around mentoring. The second would work on a regional basis to provide support in training, technical assistance and communication resources to support the local AmeriCorps members. He also shared some of the results from the Mentor Michigan VISTA program. There are over 230 partner organizations involved and 1,818 new mentors recruited. They are looking at growing the program in the next year to areas not served. C. Mentor Michigan Momentum- The Commissioners broke into group discussions to discuss corporate participation strategy and state initiatives strategy. (See notes for discussions attached.) 4 �V. Standing Committee Reports A. Fund Development Committee - Mary Grill gave a brief update on the fundraising for the Governor's Service Awards/Carter Partnership Award and shared that so far $239,500 has been raised (which is 140% over last year' s goal). She thanked several of the Commissioners who have been helping to solicit donations. B. Public Relations Committee - Commissioner Young-Welch stated that the Committee has proposed some subcommittees to get more of the Commissioners involved in state activities. There would be three different subcommittees and would solicit Commissioners involvement in their regional areas. The committees are Community Activity, Media Activities Committee and Publicity Committee. The Commission staff does not have the manpower to help promote the activities of the Commission. The thought is that Commission members need to step up and acknowledge an area where they can be of assistance. Commissioner Swain shared that this would be an opportunity to use those outside the Commission to help build capacity. The structure can be bigger than the Commission and staff. Kyle stated that there is nothing in the bylaws that would prevent the Commission from bringing in others to participate in committees. VI. Updates on Progress and Challenges A. Executive Director Report 1. Super Bowl XL - Janet explained that the MCSC has made a presentation to the Super Bowl XL Host Committee to have the Commission help recruit and train volunteers. There is a proposal to have a pre-event with mentors and mentees. 2. MCSC Progress towards 2005 Goals- The Comm.issioners received a handout outlining the progress towards the goals. B. AmeriCorps- Paula Kaiser gave background on the Michigan' s AmeriCorps Formula Renewal and New Application. The MCSC was awarded about $3 .5 million to fund new and continuing formula programs. The Corporation notified the Commission that they could fund no more than 257 full-time members (this was a change from previous years where the MCSC could fund as many members as they could afford). The MCSC had enough money to fund everything that came in but not enough slots (10 slots short). So the stafflooked at programs that didn't fill all their slots last year (2 programs) and reduced their requested number of slots by one FTE. In additional, the MCSC reduced the two new programs ' number of slots. 5 �Staff recommends renewal funding at the recommended amount of: Boys and Girls Club of Benton Harbor at $146,300; Camp Fire USA West Michigan Council at $172,981; Catholic Family Services at $216,397; Charlevoix-Emmet lSD at $212,800; Communities in Schools Detroit at $321,965; Habitat for Humanity at $392,663; Ionia Intermediate School District at $153,600; Jumpstart for Young Children at $166,228; Michigan Primary Care Association at $258,000; The Guidance Center at $250,000; and Volunteer Muskegon at $188,650. Commissioner Parker made a motion to approve the renewal funding. Commissioner O'Day seconded the motion. Due to not enough Commissioners for a quorum, the vote was sent out to all Commissioners by fax for a written vote. The motion passed unanimously. Staff recommends funding at the recommended amount for the following new applicants: American Red Cross-West Michigan at $245,800; and ConnectMichigan Alliance at $452,000. Commissioner Parker made a motion to approve the new funding. Commissioner Mawby seconded the motion. Due to not enough Commissioners for a quorum, the vote was sent out to all Commissioners by fax for a written vote. The motion passed unanimously. VII. C. Citizen Corps Funding Recommendations- Janet Lawson gave background on the Citizen Corps Funding Recommendations. Commissioner Parker made a motion to approve the Citizen Corps funding recommendations. Commissioner O'Day seconded the motion. Due to not enough Commissioners for a quorum, the vote was sent out to all Commissioners by fax for a written vote. The motion passed unanimously. D.

Michigan nonprofits include foundations, educational institutions, theaters, churches, food banks, hospitals and more. As individuals provide 76.3% of contributions in the country (Giving USA, 2003), and organizations rely heavily on volunteers to assist organizations, it is important to understand the current economic and sociological trends of individual giving and volunteering. To learn about the habits of these important people, 990 Michigan residents were surveyed in the fall of 2003 on their giving, volunteering and opinions regarding a few key public policy issues. Conducted by the Office of Survey Research in the Institute for Public Policy and Social Research at Michigan State University, this survey was sponsored by the ConnectMichigan Alliance, Council of Michigan Foundations, Michigan Community Service Commission and the Michigan Nonprofit Association. In addition to highlights from the survey, this publication provides additional information on Michigan nonprofits, foundations and national and community service programs. If you would like more information about the nonprofit sector, or if you wish to view this document online, please visit the Michigan Nonprofit Association's Web site at www.mnaonline.org. Also, contact information for each of the sponsors is listed inside the back cover. Kyle Caldwell, Michigan Community Service Commission Rob Collier, Council of Michigan Foundations John Lore, ConnectMichigan Alliance Sam Singh, Michigan Nonprofit Association �Individual Giving and Volunteering 2003 Michigan Gives! In 2003, eight out of ten Michigan residents contributed to charity (79.5%), a consistent level for the state in recent years. The one exception was the high level of giving (89.1%) after the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001. • The number of women (83.1%) making contributions continued to exceed the number of men (75.1%). The gender gap in giving has grown over the past three years, from a gap of 0.5 points in 2001 to 5.3 points in 2002 and 8.0 points in 2003. Charitable Contributions 2001-2003 0 20 40 60 80 PERCENT • 2001 2002 • 2003 In 2003, respondents were asked how much they had contributed to charity during the year. Of those surveyed, 770 provided details on how much they had contributed. Twentysix per cent of those who disclosed amounts of gifts did not make a financial contribution. The most common levels of giving were for less than $250 (18.4%), followed by those giving $1,000-2,499 (16.2%). Of the 570 respondents who made a financial contribution, the average contribution during the year was $1,453. Total·············· Female Male ------------- Compared with past years, the major change has been the drop in the rate of giving by younger residents, those 29 years old and younger. Also evident is a drop in the percentage of giving by those aged over 60 years. In 2003, giving by those aged over 60 years was at more than 80%, compared to 96.4% in 2001 and 84% in 2002. This recent experience suggests that the numbers of residents making charitable contributions has dropped for those at the start and end of their working lives, and is strongest for those in the middle of their careers. Charitable Contributions 2003 100 $0 $1-$249 $250-$499 $500-$749 Giving varied by age groups, with the highest rates for those in the 30-39 year (91.8%), 50-59 year (87.9%), and over 60 years (more than 80%) age groups. $750-$999 $1000-$2499 $2500- $4999 $5000- $8000 0 20 10 30 PERCENT Giving & Volunteering 1 �Respondents were asked about expected changes in charitable contributions for the coming year. For 2004, two-thirds of respondents expect their giving to remain the same, with 15.3% planning to give more and 17.1% expecting to give less. Giving plans are similar for men and women, with women slightly more likely to give the same or more. In terms of income, the groups expecting to increase giving range from 8-18% with the lowest income category showing the highest level of those planning to give more (33.3%). • When plans for giving are presented by age, those under 50 years are more likely to increase giving, although these age categories also show the highest levels for those planning to give less. When asked about plans for giving m the next year, the age categories showing t he least change are respondents aged 60 and older. Michigan Volunteers! In 2003, almost half of those surveyed reported volunteering (46.1%). This level represents a return to historic levels after a drop in volunteering to one third of those surveyed in 2002. • While almost half of those surveyed volunteered in 2003, nearly 60% reported having volunteered at some time in their life. • Women volunteer more often than men, with 52.1% of women volunteering and 39.3% of men. Over the past three years, the gender gap in volunteering has changed from women being one point higher in 2001 , to men being almost two points higher in 2002 and women being 12.8· points higher in 2003. 2 Giving & Volunteering Volunteered in 2003 Total Female ------ Male 0 10 20 30 40 50 PERCENT .2001 . 2002 VOLUNTEER . 2003 CENTERS OF MICHIG<;QN Interested in Volunteering?

In 2003, volunteering ranged from low levels for those in their late twenties (25.9%) to almost two-thirds of those in their thirties. Volunteering by Organization 2003 TOTAL Education Between 2001 and 2003, there were strong rebounds in volunteering rates for those under 40 years, with a weaker rebound for those in their forties and a continued decline for those in their fifties and early sixties.

Giving & Volunteenng 3 �MICHIGAN'S PROMISE THEA.LLL\:'\CJ : FoR Y<:)lr n 1 National Comparison Giving and Volunteering in Michigan and the United States Launched in 1997, Michigan's Promise seeks to create safer streets, healthier youth and stronger communities by providing leadership and resources to ensure that all Michigan youth have access to the Five Promises outlined below: Data on giving and volunteering across the United States are not always comparable or available. To provide some context for Michigan's experience in terms of the nation, the following comparisons can be made. In 2003, a statewide survey of Michigan residents found almost 80% of households making a charitable contribution. This cornpares to a rate of 89% nationally, calculated by Independent Sector from 2001 survey data (the latest data available). It is important to note that Michigan had a similar rate to the national level in the aftermath of the terrorist attacks of 9/11. The 2003 Michigan survey found an average household contributed $1,453 compared to a national level of $1,620 using 2001 data from Independent Sector. Volunteering appears stronger in Michigan than the nation, with 2003 data showing 46.1% of those surveyed having volunteered. This compares to a national rate of 28.8% from a survey by the Bureau of Labor Statistics in fall 2003.

Nonprofit Sector and Public Policy Giving and Volunteering in Michigan and U.S. 0 • • • 100 The decisions of policyrnakers impact the nonprofit sector in many ways. Most obviously, policyrnakers determine levels of funding and oversight for Michigan organizations. However, state government also sets policies that impact the number of individuals that volunteer. For the purpose of this survey, participants were asked questions regarding their views on volunteerisrn as a graduation requirement and the practice of rnentoring. �Graduation Requirements With growing participation in volunteering by young people and the inclusion of service learning in the school system, the survey asked if volunteering should be a graduation requirement for Michigan high schools. More than half of those surveyed (52.3%) agreed that volunteering should be required. Women (62.2%) were more supportive than men (41.1%) of a volunteer requirement for graduation. More than half of white (52.9%) and Hispanic (52.2%) respondents supported a graduation requirement, with slightly less than half of African American (45.6%) respondents in agreement. About half of aU people, regardless of political background, agreed that volunteering should be a graduation requirement. Support for Volunteering as Graduation Requirement 2003 Mento ring Mentoring is an important responsibility in Michigan with many residents likely to become a mentor in the future. When asked about having ever served as mentor, 43.2% of those surveyed replied positively. Women (45.6%) were more likely than men (40.5%) to have been a mentor in the past. Most likely to have been a mentor were African Americans (66.7%), followed by Hispanic (50%) respondents and white (39.8%) residents. The survey then asked about willingness to serve as a mentor in the future if a statewide mentoring program were developed. The general response was positive, with 61.3% very likely or somewhat likely to be a mentor (16.5% very likely and 44.8% somewhat likely).

As partners to government and business, nonprofits serve as critical community stewards of education, human services, health care, arts and humanities, the environment, religion and more. Without these necessary organizations, the quality of life in Michigan communities would be seriously damaged. Luckily, Michigan families, policymakers and businesses have a long tradition of supporting nonprofits. In addition to the large number of Michiganians that volunteer to assist organizations fulfill their missions, the sector employs more than 300,000 individuals that contribute to the state's economy. However, a major challenge for the sector today is declining resources. Although the percentage of those giving has remained stable and the percentage of Michigan residents volunteering has increased, funding from government, foundations and businesses has decreased. This decline of available resources for Michigan communities results from a weakened economy producing a state budget crisis and decreased stock portfolios for both businesses and foundations. As the economy worsens, however, Michigan nonprofits are being asked to do more with less. Hence, as government explores a program to mandate volunteerism in high schools, government must work with the nonprofit sector to ensure that nonprofits have the capacity and resources to provide meaningful volunteer experiences. Thus, as students become young adults, they will continue serving their communities in the future. 6 G:ving & Volunteering Foundation Giving at a Glance Michigan is ranked 11th in the nation in the number of grantmaking foundations. The nearly 2,000 private, family, corporate, and community foundations annually grant over $1 billion to nonprofit organizations in Michigan, nationally and internationally. In addition, our state is yth in the nation for foundation giving. Michigan is also yth as a percent of gross state product and gth in foundation giving per capita. Michigan's tradition of organized giving continues with the state certifying articles of incorporation for more than 100 new foundations during the past year. In addition, the 65 community foundations and their 30 affiliates serving all 83 counties continue to grow through the creation of new donor advised funds and contributions to field of interest funds and unrestricted gifts. To learn more about community foundations or how to create a grantmaking foundation, visit www.cmif.org. While foundation giving is small when compared to the scale of individual giving, grantmaking foundations are one of the state's jewels, providing leadership in the areas of early childhood development, AIDS, tobacco use reduction and education, and land use - to name a few of the key issues addressed. Because data for 2003 are still being collected, the following chart reflects 71% of the total giving reported by all Michigan foundations in 2002. As has been true historically, giving to education, human services and public affairs/ society benefit remain the top three major subject areas receiving foundation dollars. The Foundation Center in New York, the nation's source for data on foundation giving, estimates that giving in 2003 has been two to three percent below the 2002 levels due to the impact of the stock market on foundation assets. However, a modest growth in foundation giving is projected in 2004. �Grant Distribution by Major Custom Subject Categories for Michigan Foundations, circa 2002* Subject Amount % No. Arts, Culture & Humanities $81,317,010 9.2 528 Education 202,413,043 23.0 1,129 76,411,681 8.7 320 76,518,293 8.7 521 194,739,959 22.1 1,130 13,414,666 1.5 120 211,891,323 24.1 1,323 19,298,011 2.2 195 4,955,413 0.6 6 $880,959,399 100.0 5,272 Environment/Animals Health Human Services International/Foreign Affairs Public Affairs/Society Benefit Religion Other Total Source: The Foundation Center, 2004. * The Foundation Center's grants sample database (circa 2002) includes grants of $10,000 or more awarded to organizations by a sample of 1,005 larger foundations.

We have received a two-year commitment from John Hancock for $150,000, a $10 ,000 contribution from Siemens, and $50,000 from the Detroit Auto Dealers Association . Quality Program Standards The Mentor Michigan and its Providers Council believe it is vital for Michigan's mentoring programs to operate with the highest possible quality. The following are components that we believe should be in place in order for a child to receive beneficial and productive results from a mentoring relationship. These standards include, but are not limited to, the definition of mentoring, recruitment and retention of mentors and mentees, and screening, training, and evaluation of mentors and program staff. Additionally, the standards address issues around resource and organizational development so mentoring programs are sustained over time. Currently, the standards are in draft form but will be finalized at the Provider's Council Retreat in October. Standard 1: DEFINITION OF MENTORING Mentoring is an ongoing , structured relationship with a trusted individual aimed at • developing the character and competence of the mentee. • Consistent contact between mentee and mentor for a minimum of one calendar year (or academic year) . • 4-10 hours together each month . • Group mentoring -ratio of no more than 4:1 .

The review found one finding that they considered to be a reportable condition for inclusion in the audit report. The finding was that DLEG's (MCSC) controls over the AmeriCorps program did not ensure compliance with the federal laws and regulations regarding matching, level of effort, and earmarking and subrecipient monitoring. We do agree with the fact that a small number of our programs did not meet the match required of them in the grant document but we disagree with the finding listed above. All of our programs do in fact meet and exceed the minimum federal matching requirement. The finding that the auditor noted in the report was on MCSC's required match. This match is determined by the number of years that an AmeriCorps program has been in existence. In some cases, programs are required by MCSC to provide 95% match in part of the grant. This is well above the required federal match of33%. As part of our overall grant administration, MCSC monitors the match level through the year and works closely with the programs to ensure that the required federal match is met. However, in some cases the program cannot meet the higher state required match for any number of reasons and will ask for a lower match amount. MCSC as the grant administrator can and does make match adjustments for programs when they have a valid reason for not meeting the state match �Mr. Allen Williams Page Two April29,2005 requirement. In no cases, is a program allowed to match below the required federal amount. MCSC has been issuing AmeriCorps grants for over 10 years and has followed this process. It has been our policy to address the final match issues as part of the close out as many programs wait until the end of the grant year to count all the match (in-kind and administrative). As a result of this proposed finding, MCSC has made some adjustments to its current procedures, which will address the match concerns earlier in the grant year to help avoid any future match issues. MCSC will also work with our federal granting agency to clarify the match issue variance process. Both the Deputy Director and the Director of Finance and Administration will now be required to approve any match variances between the state and federal requirements and also the final close out packet. After reviewing our responses, you can see that while MCSC does need to tighten some controls to ensure that our AmeriCorps Programs meet our graduated state match amounts, the program did meet all federal match requirements and is not a reportable condition. If you have any questions on this response or need any further information, please contact either Paula Kaiser Van Dam at (517) 373-1376 or Garry Gross at (517) 373-8028. �Finding Number: Finding Title: 640511 AmeriCorps, CFDA 94.006 Management Views: We partially agree with the finding and have complied with the recommendation. We contend that the program met the minimum federal match percentages. Corrective Action: For part a., we have adjusted our procedures to address match concerns earlier in the grant year to help avoid any future match issues. We will continue to work with our federal granting agency to clarify the match issue variance process. Both the Michigan Community Service Commission (MCSC) Deputy Director and the Director of Finance and Administration are now required to approve any match variances between the state and federal requirements and the final close out packet. For part b. , MCSC has hired a second AmeriCorps Program Officer which has enabled it to monitor all programs and verify member eligibility prior to enrollment. Also, the program officers now verify the certification sheets in their review of the programs. Completion Dates: Part a. March 31 , 2005; part b.

Mulhern Executive Di rector Janet Lawson MEMORANDUM TO: Members of the Michigan Community Service Commission Executive Committee FROM: Janet Lawson, Executive Director DATE: September 7, 2005 RE: Summary of August 26,2005 Meeting The following is a summary of the meeting of the Michigan Community Service Commission Executive Committee held via conference call on Friday, August 26, 2005 . The meeting was called to order at 10:00 a.m. Members present: Daniel Mulhern, Chair; Russ Mawby and Meg Smith. Staff present: Janet Lawson, Janice Harvey, and Joan Bowman. Retreat and Board Meeting Agenda Janet Lawson went through the agenda for the September 22-23 Board Meeting and Retreat. There will be several new Commissioners at the meeting. In the past, we have held New Commissioner Orientation prior to the meeting starting. One-on-one meetings will be scheduled with each of the new Commissioners after the board meeting to go through orientation materials. Staff will report out on goals from the last year and Commissioner goals will be discussed. Russ Mawby suggested that the goals should focus around the board mission which is related to volunteerism. He gave three suggestions: 1. Join forces with United Way. How can we collaborate with United Way on volunteerism and mentoring. 2. Look at where we are with volunteer centers. We also have community foundations in every area of the state. By working with United Way and the community foundations there is a potential to have volunteer centers in every community. Working with CMA and VCM, there should be a goal to have volunteer centers statewide. Campus Compact can get students engaged in community service. Albion College, for �example, is initiating a mentoring program for their students. Every college should be members of Campus Compact. 3. Work with Learning to Give which is putting experience ofvolunteering in K-12 education. Russ has agreed to speak at the Retreat on these issues. Staff Recommendations for Learn & Serve School-Based Funding Angelia Salas gave background on the applications that were received and explained the three categories of funding (implementation, institutionalization, and ISD/Higher Education partnerships). The MCSC received 25 renewal applications. The staff reviewed the 25 applications and are recommending al125 for funding. Members reviewed the staff recommendations outlined in a memo from Paula Kaiser dated August 24, 2005 . Chairman Mulhern asked for a motion to support the staff recommendations for the Learn and Serve-Michigan School-Based grants. Commissioner Mawby moved to support the motion and Commissioner Smith seconded the motion. The motion passed unanimously. Update on MCSC Initiatives Janet Lawson gave an update on the MCSC funding. The legislature has not met yet on the budget. Several Commissioners will be leaving the MCSC this year due to term limits. The Executive Committee is losing two members (Vivian Pickard and Meg Smith) so new members will need to be appointed. There were four regional Mentor Michigan Training Sessions around the state held over the last two month where standards for mentoring programs were discussed. Ms. Lawson shared that John Hancock will be giving Mentor Michigan $100,000 each year for the next 2 years and the Detroit Pistons will be participating during Mento ring Month in January. Ken Bensen and Janet Lawson have also met and will be working on a mentoring program for Habitat volunteers. There is also discussion with Oakland University and the Michigan' s Women Commission for an e-mentoring program. Janet went over the GSA Financial Summary and the Executive Committee supported the recommendations for the proceeds. The meeting was adj oumed at 11: 10 am. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

The following summarizes the most significant issues in the new rule: Sustainability and Federal Share The new rule has the following six main elements related to sustainability: 1. Incorporates the broad spectrum of sustainability criteria throughout the Corporation's grant selection criteria. 2. Increases the weight of cost-effectiveness in the selection criteria, and makes an applicant's budgeted Corporation cost per member service year (MSY) a more meaningful factor in the selection process. In evaluating cost effectiveness, the Corporation will take into account the goals, performance outcomes, and the individual circumstances of programs and the communities in which they operate, thereby considering both costs and benefits. 3. Increases the grantee share of program costs based on a predictable and incremental schedule to a SO percent overall level by the lOth year in which an organization receives an AmeriCorps operational grant for the same program. Programs that cannot meet these requirements and that are located in rural or severely economically distressed areas may apply for permission to meet an alternative match requirement which would increase the grantee share of program costs to a 35 percent overall level by the 10th year. 4. Requires state commissions to develop and implement a sustainability approach as part of their oversight function. 5. Targets a percentage of non-continuation AmeriCorps state and national grant funds each year for new applicants. 6. Provides technical support to assist programs in meeting the increasing match requirements. Grant Selection Criteria The new rule adjusts the Corporation's grant selection criteria to meet three objectives: 1. To better align the selection criteria with elements that predict program success; OGC/063005 �2. To incorporate into the selection criteria greater emphasis on sustainability; and 3. To provide transparency, predictability, and consistency for organizations applying for AmeriCorps funds. The new rule clearly describes the Corporation's grant review process, and sets out the following basic criteria that the Corporation would apply in reviewing an application for AmeriCorps funding: • • • Program Design, which would count for 50 percent of the score (down from 60 percent currently), including: o The rationale for and approach of the proposed program; o The member-related outputs and outcomes; and o The community-related outputs and outcomes. Organizational Capability, which would remain at its current 25 percent weight, and Cost-Effectiveness and Budget Adequacy, which would count for 25 percent (up from 15 percent currently). The new rule requires state commissions to rank the state competitive proposals they submit to the Corporation . Cost per Member Service Year (MSY) (formerly Cost per FTE) Cost per MSY for Individual Programs • • The new rule quantifies an individual program's Corporation cost per MSY as the budgeted grant costs divided by the number of member MSYs awarded in the grant (excluding child care and the AmeriCorps Education Award) The Corporation will consider granting program requests to increase their Corporation cost per MSY up to any percentage increase in their previous year's minimum AmeriCorps member living allowance. Average Cost per MSY for State Commissions • • Average cost per MSY for state commissions will be the budgeted grant costs for all the AmeriCorps programs in the commission's portfolio divided by the total number of MSYs in the commission's portfolio of AmeriCorps programs, including Education Award programs (excluding child care, the AmeriCorps Education Award, and the commission administrative grants). The Corporation will review the maximum average cost per MSY annually with the increase in the member living allowance and other changes to program costs in mind. Corporation cost per member service year (MSY) is also included as one indicator of cost-effectiveness in the selection criteria. Member Service Activities OGC/063005 �The new rule largely codifies and clarifies the Corporation's current guidelines and grant provisions on member service activities and capacity-bu ilding . Specifically, the new rule clarifies that AmeriCorps members may: • • Perform direct service activities, and Engage in other activities that build the organizational and financial capacity of nonprofit organizations and communities, including volunteer recruitment and certain fundraising activities. In add ition: • • Generally, grantees must include volunteer recruitment in their program design unless unfeasible AmeriCorps members may engage in fundraising directly in support of service activities for up to 10% of their term of service Tutoring Requirements The new rule: • • • • • • Confirms that the qualification requirements for tutors and other paraprofessionals under the No Child Left Behind Act apply only to tutors who are considered employees of the Local Education Agency or school under state law, but do not apply to AmeriCorps members serving as tutors under the sponsorship of an organization other than the school district. Narrowly defines "tutor" for purposes of the regulations to include only individuals whose primary goal is to increase academic achievement in reading or other core subjects through planned, consistent, one-to-one or small-group reading , or other small-group sessions, that build on students' academic strengths and target students' academic needs. Requires a member serving as a tutor (other than one considered under NCLB to be employed by the LEA or school) either: o To have a high school diploma (or its equivalent), or o To pass a proficiency test that the grantee has determ ined effective in ensuring that the member has the necessary skills to serve as a tutor. Requires a member serving as a tutor (other than one employed by the LEA or school) to successfully complete any pre- and in-service specialized training required by the program. Requires tutoring programs to show competency to provide tutoring service through their recruitment, specialized training, performance measures, and supervision . Does not impose new requirements on members engaged in supplemental academic support activities whose primary goal is something other than increasing academic achievement. For example, providing a safe place for children after school is not tutoring, even if some of the program activities focus on homework help . State Commission Flexibility to Operate National Service Programs The Corporation 's current regu lations prohibit state comm issions from directly operating any national service program receiving Corporation assistance . The new OGC/063005 �rule relaxes this current restriction by prohibiting state commissions from directly operating only AmeriCorps subtitle C grant programs and Senior Corps programs. Performance Measures and Evaluation The new rule: • • • • Codifies current Corporation requirements for performance measures; Requires at least one set of aligned measures (one output, one intermediate outcome, and end outcome) on the program's primary area of activity; Requires independent evaluations to large state competitive and direct grantees; and Requires internal evaluations from smaller and EAP grantees.

Visit www.nationalservice.gov to provide input.by August 31, 2005. �The Corporation/or National and Community Service provides opportunities for Americans ofall ages and backgrounds to serve their communities and country primarily through its Senior Corps, AmeriCorps, and Learn and Serve America programs. Participants in the Corporation 's programs contribute more than 200 million service hours to communities each year. These programs, each with their own purpose and structure, are united for a common purpose- engaging citizens dedicated to making their communities better. Senior Corps is a network of programs- RSVP (Retired and Senior Volunteer Program), Foster Grandparent Program (FGP), and Senior Companion Program (SCP)- that uses the experience, skills, and talents of more than 5000,000 volunteers age 55 and older to meet community needs. More than half a million Senior Corps volunteers serve in more than 70,000 local nonprofits, public agencies, and faith- based organizations through the three Senior Corps programs. AmeriCorps is a network of national service programs-AmeriCorps*State and National, AmeriCorps*NCCC, and AmeriCorps*VISTA-that meet critical needs in areas such as education, public safety, health, and the environment through partnerships with public agencies, nonprofits, faithbased and other local organizations. More than 70,000 AmeriCorps members and 600,000 volunteers that they recruit tutor and mentor youth, build affordable housing, teach computer skills, clean parks and streams, operate after-school programs, and help communities respond to disasters. Learn and Serve America is a grant program that supports servicelearning activities in schools and community organizations by helping approximately one million students from kindergarten through college meet community needs while improving their academic skills and learning the importance and impact of good citizenship. Learn and Serve America grants are used to create new programs or replicate existing programs, as well as to provide training and development to staff, faculty, and volunteers. NATIONAL& COMMUNITY SERVICEtttt 1201 NEW YORK AVENUE, NW, WASHINGTON , DC 20525 (202) 606-5000 (202-606-3472 TTY) WWW.NATIONALSERVICE.GOV JULY 2005 UPON REQUEST THIS MATERIAL WILL BE MADE AVAILABLE IN ALT ERNATIV E FORMS FOR PEOPLE WITH DI SABILITI ES �OVERVIEW " Will yo u be a spectator, or a cit izen? To make a difference in thi s world , yo u mu st be invo lved. By serv ing a hi g he r ca lling here or abroad, you'll make your li ves richer and build a mo re ho peful future for our world. " President George W. Bush Remarks by the Presi dent at Calvin Coll ege Commencement, May 2 1, 2005 Through the programs of the Corporation for National and Community Service, Americans are investing their time, energy, and talent in improving the lives of others and strengthening their communities. In the process, they are building a more engaged society and becoming leaders in civic life . By uniting together and forging new social ties, Americans demonstrate the strength of our character and renew our sense of purpose- to guarantee freedom by helping one another. When we participate in service and volunteering, we express our patriotism and citizenship while addressing critical local needs. As President Bush said in May 2005 to the graduating class at Calvin College, "When you come together to serve a cause greater than yourself, you will energize your communities and help build a more just and compassionate America." Participants in our programs tutor students, mentor children of prisoners, help elderly seniors remain independent, restore trails, riverbanks, and beaches, provide emergency assistance to Americans following disasters, and recruit, train, and manage millions of community volunteers who accomplish even more. These acts have a "can-do" quality that is inherently American . These programs stimulate and nurture the spirit of optimism, volunteerism, and civic engagement that sustains our democracy. A Heritage o[Service When President John F. Kennedy created the Peace Corps in 1961 , he expressed the hope that one day a program with a similar purpose would be created to meet domestic needs. In 1964, Volunteers in Service to America (VISTA) began the progress toward that goal. The creation of volunteer programs for seniors- RSVP , Senior Companions, and Foster Grandparents- followed. In 1990, President George H. Bush took another strong step forward when he established the White House Commission on National and Community Service, which established the program that is now Learn and Serve America. Then, in 1993 , President William J . Clinton, created AmeriCorps and b.rought all it and other programs together under a new Corporation for National and Community Service. ·Presi dent George W . Bush has substantially contributed to this legacy by calling for a " nation of citizens, not spectators" in his 2001 Inaugural address, by launching a faithbased and community initiative to expand support for grassroots organizations meeting local needs, by iss uing a national call to serv ice for every American in th e wake of the September II attacks, by creating the USA Freedom Corps to stimulate serv ice in America , and by winning for the Corporation the largest funding inc rease in its history, expand ing AmeriCorps by 50 percent to 75 ,000 members. Strategic Plan lmpro l•ing Lil'es. Strengrhening Communities. and Fos rerin ~ Civic Engagemenr 3 �Answering the President's Call President Bush issued A Call to Service in his January 2002 State of the Union Address, in which he challenged every American to dedicate at least 4,000 hours (the equivalent of two years) of his or her life to the service of others. That yea r, over 59 million peopl e served their communities through volunteer activities with nonprofit organizations. 1 Since then, the desire to serve and the value of service is continuing to gain momentum in our country. In 2004, 64.5 million, or 29 percent of Americans ages 16 and older, contributed a median of 52 hours a year in volunteer service to their community? According to the Current Population Survey (CPS), the volunteer rate among older people ages 55 to 64 rose from 27.5 percent in 2002 to 30.1 percent in 2004. Additionally, from 2002 through 2004, the percentage of retired Baby Boomers 3 who volunteer increased steadily, from about 25 percent in 2002 to about 30 percent in 2004. While many Americans are volunteering and giving back to their communities, more Americans would be motivated to volunteer if they were presented with rewarding opportunities that fit within their daily schedule. We plan to capitalize on this opportunity by providing meaningful ways for all Americans to serve. 1 U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, 2004 Current Population Survey's (CPS) Supplement on Volunteering .

John F. Kennedy Our Strategic Goals National and community service programs work closely with traditional volunteer organizations to broaden , deepen , and strengthen the ability of America's volunteers to contribute to our communities and our nation. The Corporation from its inception has worked to ensure that we are doing the following three things to support service and volunteering in America: • Meeting Critical Needs in Local Communities through Service Across America, millions of lives are improved, problems resolved, injuries healed, and injustices overcome as a result of interventions by caring, compassionate, and skilled volunteers and service participants in Corporationsupported programs. These outcomes are reached in partnership with an expanding public-private network of nonprofit organizations, public agencies, and educational institutions. • Strengthening Communities to Engage Citizens Strong communities have a robust capacity to engage citizens effectively. Corporation programs help nonprofit organizations, public institutions, educational institutions, and volunteer connector organizations build that capacity for communities. A focus on community capacity and sustainability ensures that every Corporation program leaves a community better equipped to engage local citizens to address pressing local challenges. • Engaging Americans in a Lifetime of Volunteering and Service Through our programs and partnerships, the Corporation offers every American (as a member, program participant or community volunteer) meaningful opportunities to serve and improve their lives. As we engage more people in service, and reinvigorate America's ethic of responsibility, patriotism, and citizen engagement, we also enhance civic skills and socially responsible attitudes, thereby strengthening our democracy. In return , those who serve will gain or enhance valuable skills useful in their educational and career pursuits, and offer them rewarding opportunities to better connect with their community. Guiding Principles As we pursue our goals, we are guided by ten key principles : · I . Put the needs of local communities first. 2. Help both rural and economically distressed communities obtain access to our resources . 3. Support diverse organizations, including faith-based and other community organi zations, minority colleges, and disability organizations. 4. Apply the best practices of service-learning to all of our programs, putting volunteer Strategic Plan lmprol'ing LiFes. Strengthening Co mmunities. and Fos lering Ci1·ic E11gagement 5 �and service activities into the appropriate context. 5. Use our programs to build stronger, more efficient, and sustainable community networks capable of mobilizing volunteers to address key challenges such as disaster preparedness and response. 6. Help service participants and volunteers build public service careers, including teaching, nonprofit management, healthcare, the military, and other critical professions. 7. Strengthen the public-private partnerships that support all of our programs. 8. Measure and continually improve our programs ' outcomes for service beneficiaries, service participants, and community organizations. 9. Build collaborations wherever possible across our programs, as well as between our programs and other Federal programs pursuing similar goals. 10. Exhibit excellence in management and customer service. Our Focus Areas (or 2005-2010 We have identified four cross-program priorities; Each focus area provides an opportunity for all of our programs to work together toward common objectives. These priorities are influenced by the Corporation's strategic goals, supported by our guiding principles, and implemented using each of our programs' unique methods for engaging volunteers and participants of all ages and backgrounds to meet critical needs . In addition, these areas of focus are sufficiently broad to encompass State Commissions, State Education Agencies, national nonprofits, local communities and other partners working Within their own priorities. We believe that these focus areas are appropriate for the Corporation, because they are in line with national current social trends and because we are equipped to provide opportunities in which service can meet these needs and produce a significant positive impact on the nation. • Building the Supply Line for America's Armies of Compassion to Since the President's call service in 2002, we have seen five million more Americans serve their communities and country. We are dedicated to continuing that trend so that more citizens in need and service organizations will benefit. In 2004, there were 64.5 million Americans serving; our goal for the nation is to increase that number to 75 million by 2010 by making available more service opportunities. • Ensuring a Brighter Future for all of America's Youth Youth need support from caring adults in their families, schools, and communities. In particular, youth who grow up in severely distressed communities characterized by high poverty rates, high crime rates, early experimentation with illicit drugs, and promiscuity are more likely to be at risk of school failure, unemployment, criminal behavior, and persistent poverty. Not only can youth benefit from services such as mentoring, but they also have much to offer their communities as volunteers and service participants. The Corporation will continue to support children in need, by providing more opportunities for yo uth to serve and to receive services. Strategic Plan Improving Lives, Strengthening Communities, and Fostering Civic Engagement 6 �• Engaging Students in their Communities Educational institutions (elementary, secondary, as well as higher education) play a key role in guiding students to become responsible citizens and leaders who use their academic and other experiences to support the common good. Volunteering and service are powerful factors that support and enhance the learning experience and need to be further incorporated into academic curricula. • Harnessing Experience to Meet 21st Century Challenges Baby Boomers are a highly talented, highly motivated group that could drive solutions to some of our most intractable social problems. Capturing their experience and energy, and engaging them in helping to solve critical social issues through service must become a high-priority goal for the nation in the commg years . For each of these initiatives and in the section on the Corporation ' s management infrastructure, we have identified performance targets and management goals, which, in general , are annual goals that will be achieved in the year 2010. National targets reflect what we expect to see nationwide, while Corporation targets reflect the contributions that the Corporation and its national service partners will make to service and volunteering across the nation . Strategic Plan improving Lives, Strengthening Co mmunities. and Fos tering Civic Engagement 7 �OUR FOCUS AREAS FOR 2005-2010 "Citizens working together w ith their neighbors offer powerful solutions to some of the toughest problems facing our cities and rural areas. The Corporation will succeed to the extent that its programs provide genuine support, innovation and energy to local volunteers making positive change happen in their communities." Stephen Goldsmith, Chairman Corporation for National and Community Service Board of Directors Building the Supplv Line {or America's A rmies of Compassion As the echoes of the September 11 explosions were ringing in our ears, President Bush issued his call to service in early 2002 . Since then the number of people volunteering in communities (who the President has called "America' s annies of compassion") has continued to increase from 59 million Americans to 64.5 milliofi. ~ For those of us interested in engaging our citizens and strengthening our democracy, this three-year growth in the number of Americans volunteering represents a -once-in-ageneration opportunity to sustain a significant upsurge in citizen engagement This initiative is about increasing the level of individuafengagyrlient in voluntee; ·~ctivities and building the infrastructure of nonprofits and communities to enable the creation of positive, meaningful volunteer opporwnities. · Together with our partners, including voluiYte¢f. and service-driven organizations across the country, the Corporation is committed to worldng_ ~9.~ard a national goal of expanding the number of Americans who vqhmteer by fuqie than 15 percent over five years, from 64.5 million t6 75 million Ameri~ans. We afso want to encourage volunteers to contribute more hours to their community. As part of that effort, we are encouraging more Americans to consider making volunteeri~g part of their weekly activities. This effort will broaden volunteers' opportunities to further enhance individual skills and increase lop.g-J~Pn capacity in communities. Furthermore, because volunteers can gain a wealth of knowledge enhan-c·e·their skills through their service experience, they can be a trern_t~nqous asset to organizations and communities. For example, Michelle Ward, an AmeriCorps*NCCC aluriina who studies economics and international business, applied skills learrte<;Lfrom her servk~ when she began work with the embassy in Togo for the U.S . State Department. The emergency management work she did while fighting wildfires with AmeriCorps*NCCC came in handy when a political coup occurred in Togo. She became responsible for evacuation efforts and setting up shelters. or Research conducted by the Corporation and others in recent years shows that increasing the level of individual engagement in volunteer activities requires significant recruitment; but it also requires much work in addition to recruitment. Meeting the demand of individuals wanting to volunteer requires building capacity within nonprofit organizations and communities to support those volunteers, to match them with appropriate and meaningful opportunities, to train them to succeed, and to manage and reward their work. 4 U. S. Bureau of Labor Stati stics, 2004 Current Population Survey's (C PS) S uppl ~ me nt on Vo lunteering. Strategic Plan Improving Lives, Strengthening Communities, and Fos tering Civic Engagement 8 �The same research that established America's volunteer force as 64.5 million strong also identified another 29.4 million Americans with a history of volunteering. These former volunteers indicated they had not volunteered recently due to a variety of obstacles. As we move forward , our challenge will be to focus simultaneously on reaching out to more Americans to volunteer and, at the same time, to ensure that vo lunteers ' needs are fulfilled. Corporation programs have a strong history of invigorating and supporting community volunteers. We promote service for young people to gain valuable skills for work and school, for older Americans to stay active and healthy, and for people of all ages to broaden their service experience. Our Learn and Serve America programs introduce more than one million children and youth every year to the excitement of meeting community needs, with an eye toward putting them on the path to a lifetime of service. Our AmeriCorps members recruit, train , and supervise more than one million community volunteers each year. Our Senior Corps programs set the standard for experienced volunteers in thousands of communities across America . And our research shows that participants in Corporation programs leave the programs more likely to remain engaged in their communities for years to come, a nd to enter into public service careers . In addition, when nonprofit organizations were asked about what they most need to build a n infrastructure solid enough to support significant vo lunteering, a common response was a dedicated , stipended volunteer (someone like a n AmeriCorps member, a VISTA member, or a Senior Corps volunteer) to ma nage the other volunteers and support AmeriCorps*VISTA Making a Difference for People with Disabilities The Program: For more than 200 people in and around Ann Arbor, Michigan, help with tasks ranging from home repair to transportation is merely a phone call away, as long as the phone call is to the Washtenaw Talent Exchange. Participants in the Exchange register their requests with one of the four AmeriCorps*VIST A members running the year-old program of the Ann Arbor Center for Independent Living. The AmeriCorps*VIST A members then match the request for any one of about 300 tasks with the skills offered by participants. As Exchange participants join the service, they indicate what skills they can offer fellow participants. The Exchange participant who performs a task receives one service credit, called a Talent Share, for every hour spent in completing the assignment. In tum, that participant can use those shares for other services. The Results: Established by Edward Wollmann, the AmeriCorps*VIST A supervisor of the Ann Arbor Center for Independent Living, the Exchange has facilitated completion of I ,750 hours of service by individual participants-which means that participants have earned an additional 1,750 hours in service credits. Wollmann said the project could not function without the commitment and passion of the AmeriCorps*VIST A members, who match requests for service with the reg istered skills of other Exchange participants, conduct monthly social events that typically attract 50 to 75 Exc hange participants, input data on each Exchange participant's skills, and compile a monthly newsletter on the proj ect. Why It Works: Most participants in the Exchange, like the AmeriCorps*VISTA members who run the program, are di sabled . Joining the Exchan ge gives them a chance to use their skills- and teach them to oth ers- while receiving help in areas where they mi ght need some assistance, or like to learn. At the sa me time, the Exc hange reduces the isol ation th at people with di sabilities often ex perience.

We will engage more national service participants as vo lunteer coordinators. We will strengthen relationships with community volunteer connector organizations (such as volunteer centers) because they are dedicated to meeting the needs of volunteers and nonprofit groups by matching individuals with the appropriate opportunities to serve. These organizations also train nonprofit organizations to deepen the engagement of individual participants. Building on the progress from the President's call to service, ow efforts over the coming years will focus on six major areas: • Increasing vo lunteer recruitment, training, and support by AmeriCorps; • Ensuring that AmeriCorps*State and National ap.q VISTA extensively support the spectrum of community volunteer connector organizations; • Utilizing national service programs to cl.Qv~ a higher-leve l of volunteer infrastructure and expertise in smaller community organizations that fely on volunteers; • Better connecting faith-based organizations to coinmunity needs for volunteers; • Building the capacity of local C()mmunities to respond effectively to disasters; and • Using our national pl atform to recogniz~ volunteers. · By offering volunteers meaningful service opportunities, the Corporation and nonprofits across America will help strengthen volunteers' desire to continue their civic activities, thereby remaining connected to their communities. Following President Bush 's lead, we believe national and community service is an engine for developing active and engaged citizens, and the continuing strength of our democracy. Together, we can be the supply line for Amerip(!{ ~ ~rmies of compassion.

This "American dream" is the hallmark of our society and an insp iration to our citizens and the world. Unf011unately, for some of the most vulnerable yet promising of our nation 's population- our youth- the prospect of achieving the American dream is dim; however, if we work together- through faith-based, community, state, national , and local groups, we can provide our children and youth the opportunity to succeed. Many American children and youth need additional support. More than 35 percent of fourth graders and at least 25 percent of eighth graders cannot read at grade level. Approximately 15 percent of American children are living below the poverty level and almost 30 percent of children under age 18 are living in single parent or no parent homes. In 1960, fewer than 10 million children were not living with their fathers. Today, that number has increased to 25 million . Youth living in rural and distressed communities face tremendous challenges, making positive youth development difficult. Children and youth in at-risk environments are particularly susceptible to negative role models and behavior, and thus, have special challenges to overcome to reach their full potential. At-risk factors include some mix of the following: Neighborhoods with high poverty rates ; Prevalence of single-parent households; Below-grade level performance in school; Time spent in the juvenile system or in foster care; Mental and/or physical disabilities ; and Incarcerated parent(s). 1 Over two million children.have a parent who is incarcerated.

Since the creation of the White House Task Force on Disadvantaged Youth, the Bush Administration has strongly advocated for collaboration among federal agencies that affect the lives of disadvantaged youth . We also will leverage our national service resources to develop meaningful partnerships with our federal, state, and community youth service partners. We also support First Lady Laura Bush 's national priority of empowering youth, through which she highlights the need to reconnect youth with their families, schools and communities. Our goal is to meet the most pressing needs of youth, whether academic or behavioral , familial or social, while improving their lives though the opportunity to serve. As we have done for many years, we will continue to engage yo uth in national service and vo lunteering (as serv ice participants, volunteers an, serv ice recipients) through activities such as mentorin g, tutoring, and service-learning. While it is essential that our nation ensures a ll yo uth receive the serv ices necessary for their hea lthy transition into Strategic Plan Jm pm1•ing Lives. Strengthening Communities. and Fostering Ci1·ic Engagement 12 �adulthood , it is also important that our nation appreciates the benefits that youth engaged in service can provide. Over the next five years, the Corporation will engage over 3 million disadvantaged youth from at-risk environments in nationa l community service The Corporation will seek to meet the needs of our nation 's youth by: Providing mentors and streamlining mentoring services for the nation's youth (with special attention towards providing mentors for children of incarcerated parents); Engaging at-risk youth in meaningful service experiences; and Developing community volunteering to strengthen healthy youth connections wit family, schools, and community (including faith-based institutions). Young people need relationships with caring adults and positive service experiences to assist them in their successful transition to adulthood. Connections between youth and their families, schools, and communities (including faith-based organizations) create a strong social construct that enables youth to make healthy choices and avoid risky behaviors, such as drugs, alcohol , tobacco, promiscuity, and violence (as cited in the National Longitudinal Study on Adolescent Health). The Corporation will help to strengthen these positive connections for youth by generating volunteers and building community capacity. Children of prisoners are particularly in need of positive role models. To address this need, we will facilitate mentoring for l 00,000 children of prisoners, in support of the President's initiative. AmeriCorps*NCCC Member Helps Former Truant Succeed in School The boy's grandmother thought he had been going to school every morning when he left her home in Brooklyn's inner city. But he hadn't. For years, the youth who had come from another country to live with his grandma had been finding other ways to fill most of his days. He was painfully shy and not comfortable speaking English. His school-skipping pattern continued until he was 13 , and placed in the sixth grade in a school with crowded classes of 30-40 children per teacher. He couldn't keep up. Because of his reticence and language difficulties, some believed he might be mentally challenged. This is the youngster who was assigned to Kendra Moore in her first AmeriCorps venture last winter. She and her nine AmeriCorps team members were asked to help lagging students prepare for testing that would determine if they remained in sixth grade, or moved on to middle school. "It took a long time for him to trust me," says Kendra, 21. "He was scared of people. I started by teaching him the alphabet." She worked one-on-one with him and found that he was actually a rapid Ieamer. Gradually, he not only accepted her but tried hard to win her praise. At the end of six weeks, he had made marked improvement and Kendra was asked to make a recommendation on his behalf to the school board. She urged officials to provide continuing one-on-one instruction for him, "and they have."

Driving Greater Service on Campus Virtually every American college articulates a dual mission , on the one hand suppo1iing the pursuit of knowledge and skill What is Service-learning? development, and on the other hand building strong character for effective Service-learning aims to build knowledge, character, and citizenship. Many post-secondary civic skills in young people by combining service to the institutions are making significant community with academic learning. By directly linking progress in supporting the civic service to the academic curriculum, service-learning engagement of their students; however, creates a place for setvicy that is integrated into a school's core ni.i$sion: educ,;ltion. additional opportunities to energize Source: Students in Service:(o America: A Guidebook for meaningful service and volunteering Engaging America 's Students in a Lifelong Habit of on campus exist. Servipe · Research indicates that high school students volunteer at a higher rate than college students. Although it is true that college students' participation in service is slightly higher than the adult average, it is also true that our efforts to engage college students could be far more robust. Since its inception, the Corporation for National and Community Service has built a strong network of relationships with higher education. Engineering Serves the Community Since 1994, AmeriCorps members have earned Purdue's Engineering Projects in Community Service (EPICS) more than $1 billipn in , gives aspiring engineers a chance to enhance the quality of AmeriCqrps Education: · peopl~~s lives and the life of the community.

Over the next five years we will support colleges and universities in providing more service opportunities through the Federal Work Study program. In addition , we will encourage higher education institutions to offer more service-learning courses as well as more extra-curricular opportunities to serve. Strategic Plan Improving Lives, Strengthening Communities, and Fostering Civic Engagement 15 �We will build upon our relationship with institutions of higher education through our three major programs- Senior Corps, Learn and Serve America, and AmeriCorps- and over the next five years, we will use these partnerships to encourage greater integration of service into the academic mission of America's colleges and universities and increase support offered to those students who serve their communities. The Corporation offers significant benefits, in the form of AmeriCorps education awards and stipends, to members who commit to full or part-time service. We will continue to promote these and other benefits of service in an effort to increase students engaged in service by 40% over the next five years. We will work to ensure that at least half of all higher education institutions provide, or stimulate the creation of, resources to coordinate service, service-learning, and community partnerships. In order to foster greater service on college campuses over the next five years, we will: Strengthen and expand our network of intermediaries (Volunteer Centers, Campus Compact, State Service Commissions, national foundations and public service non-profits, faith-based and other community based organizations at the state, community, and campus level) that support service and service-learning; Reduce barriers that inhibit students from engaging in service (such as transportation, information, relationships with community agencies, lack of institutional support, etc.); Ensure that students have opportunities to serve as part of their academic studies through high-quality service-learning; Increase college students providing services to disadvantaged youth (including mentoring and tutoring); and Provide a national platform to promote the value and importance of service on campus. By supporting those educational institutions that make service an integral part of their academic mission and connect education to the needs of the local community, we will help to promote an ethic of service among America ' s youth. Bringing Service to the Classroom The Corporation's programs have been a catalyst for the growth of service-learning in our nation 's K-12 schools. In 1984, nine percent of schools offered service-learning opportunities. Today, service-learning reaches approximately 30 percent of all schools and the Corporation will work to build service-learning into the curriculum of half of all K-12 schools by 2010. We have worked to support service for young people both during the school day and in after school programs. Senior Corps, AmeriCorps, and Learn and Serve America have all provided support to student service. The U.S . Department of Education has made servicelearning a key feature of many of the programs it supports as well. The Corporation will build on this existing infrastructure to disseminate effective practices and spread servicelearning to new schools and districts. We will expand support for teacher education and Strategic Plan Impro ving Lives, Strengthening Communities, and Fostering Civic Engagement 16 �professional development programs that provide training in community partnership development and service-learning. In addition, we plan to pilot a new "summer of service" program for young teens that will also support effective training for educators. In order to incorporate service-learning in more K-12 schools, we will work toward the following goals over the next five years: • Identifying quality program models to highlight effective practices, increase visibility of service-learning, and evaluate the outcomes of service-learning; Expanding the number of How Servic~;_Lea.rning Works teachers, faculty, and school --~::::~,(' administrators using serviceThe importance of srnJI~JU~. engaging in volunteering and learning; service-learning 9Mfbe iliq§h~ted in the following Strengthening the value of analogy: an athletiH;raining"'f(?{~~sport.

Strategic Plan Improving Lives, Strengthening Communities, and Fostering Civic Engagement 17 �Harnessing Experience to ,1feet 2 t '' Centurl' Clwllenges Public discussions about America 's rapidly increasing demographic of older Americans too frequently focus solely on the greater costs to taxpayers of healthcare and retirement, lower economic productivity, and other concerns. However, there is another part of the equation that has not been told frequently enough: more Americans reaching the traditional retirement age means more people with experience, skills, and time to contribute toward solving some of our communities' and our nation ' s most intractable problems. America has an unprecedented opportunity to unleash a tremendous increase in civic engagement and volunteering in local communities. We believe that the aging of the Baby Boomer generation can produce a civic revolution that strengthens our communities and meets important 21st century challenges- if we act now. As a group, the 77 million Baby Boomers on the whole are better educated, have broad experiences and will live longer and healthier lives than any generation before them. If properly engaged, they could turn around some of our country ' s most challenging social problems and alleviate the volunteer sector's greatest recruiting challenge- finding volunteers during the workday . Picture communities where volunteers help improve the quality of life for increasing numbers of older Americans by helping them continue to live independently in their homes. Imagine how our society would be different if Boomers were deployed to ensure two million more pre-school children from impoverished neighborhoods were ready for school. Consider how mobilizing retired teachers could solve tutor shortages in depressed urban areas. George Ferguson, a retired Baby Boomer, started mentoring a seven-year-old boy through the Grandfathers Group, an RSVP project in Alexandria, Virginia. The child worried about how long Ferguson would be available. Five years later, Ferguson is still mentoring the same child. We are standing at the dawn of a new era if we can successfully recruit Boomers into community service; but that cultural shift will require great effort. Making full use of Boomers ' experience will take strategic and extended commitments from nonprofit groups, business, and government, with each group offering unique and attractive opportunities, such as creating flexible work schedules for Boomers who volunteer. • 'ir •• ~:.,.- ....

Many Boomers are still working; others are retired , or semi-retired. They have an array of in-depth knowledge about and experiences in law, medicine, teaching, managing a home, small business operations and many other areas. They can be a valuable resource to strengthen nonprofits and the clients they serve. The Corporation is focused on creating the right service opportunities that both engage the large number of Boomers who currently volunteer as well as motivate non-volunteers who are looking for the time and the opportunity to make a difference in their communities. Strategic Plan Improving Lives. Strengthening Conunun ities. and Fostering Civic Engagement 18 �In addition to helping solve community needs, service offers important benefits for Boomer volunteers. Research tells us that Boomers are different from the population of older Americans who currently volunteer in their communities. First, Boomers tend to respond more positively to articulations of the benefits to themselves, including personal fulfillment, excitement, social opportunities, or opportunities to learn something new. Second, they generally respond more favorably to flexible opportunities, such as those that allow for full-time, part-time, or episodic service. They also respond to service that meets their personal interests and to opportunities that demonstrate visible benefits to the community. Consequently, we must support programs and institutions that effectively engage these Boomers. l To meet the challenge of engaging the vast number of~he coming;);vave of baby boomers in service to their communities, we need to: o.,v • '· ~- + Encourage a significant cultural shift in the thihJqng oftliep P,!JProfit sector in how groups use volunteers, and help nonprofits..ct~'a!e ineaningfol":ppportunities for service · M·:r.::~:,:, by the coming wave ofBaby Boomers; .tt;··; + Secure commitments from the busir!fifii~.e.tor to expand voluntee;-~~~'grams, offer flexible work options to Boomer employitii:s;~ andeiintmce notions ofgood corporate citizenship; -~:I:ii:i!E-":""·:-- -·~+- • Give an appropriate role td,:;g0_yernment, includ~ffJ;barging the Corporation for National and Community Se'fiiif#~Ctilh bringing Baby Boomers into prominence in America's civic activities·, and'-;..• .,,,~;;;,;;;:;:;;,,. . · ·.;; -" ... ...,.....

Currently most of the volunteers age 55 and over who participate in Corporation supported activities serve through Senior Corps programs: RSVP, Senior Companion Program (SCP) and Foster Grandparent Program (FGP). Boomers (who by the end of 2005 will be ages 41 through 59) also serve in AmeriCorps*VIST A and AmeriCorps*State and National. Over the next five years, the Corporation will build on its experience recruiting Boomers in national service programs by: 1) assessing how the skills of this group can be tapped, 2) strengthening our support for engaging Boomers in Senior Corps programs, 3) exploring strategies for increasing the participation of Boomers in AmeriCorps, and 4) encouraging collaboration between Senior Corps and AmeriCorps in promoting service and volunteerism among Baby Boomers as they reach the traditional retirement age. By changing how nonprofits view and use volunteers and pioneering alternative models of service, we wi II take full advantage of Baby Boomers ' talents, skills and experience and make tomorrow better for people of all ages.

Strengthening Communities, and Fostering Civic Engagement 20 �ACHIEVING MANAGEMENT EXCELLENCE The Corporation has implemented an aggressive plan to achieve management excellence. As we continue to improve our management systems, achieve greater accountability and efficiency, and meet the needs of our customers, we will increase our capacity to affect positive change in organizations and increase our grantees' and partners' ability to meet local community needs. Expand Program and Project Quality The Corporation has embarked on a multi-faceted approach to improving program and project quality . As the Corporation continues to move toward an enhanced, perfonnancebased grants management system, we will use a competitive process to select highquality programs. We will support a variety of organizations capable of developing successful programs and generating increased volunteer capacity. We will conduct and support outreach to faith-based and community organizations that are not presently receiving Corporation resources, in order to increase grant competitiveness and build a pipeline of high quality and diverse applicants in all grant competitions. The Corporation will also be more responsive to state and local needs. We will further enhance knowledge management by engaging and sharing meaningful research and evaluation efforts to identify effective program practices, societal trends, and areas for program improvement. We will promote knowledge sharing internally and externally and invest in the skills and capabilities of our service partners. By investing in a continuous culture of learning, we will strengthen management and program performance. We will also provide more tools and opportunities for the replication of successful service models and accelerate innovation in program models during competitions and pilot ideas that can later be embraced by our core programs. Cultivate a Culture o[Per(ormance, and Accountability To strengthen the Corporation's performance and accountability, we will enhance our administrative and evaluation systems, fully utilize technology, and grow the value of national service dollars ; We will conduct more targeted and in-depth monitoring and analysis of our grantee programmatic and fiscal performance. In order to achieve greater management effectiveness, the we will more fully integrate more rigorous performance metrics into management analyses and program operations, assessing and, where necessary, revamping systems for capturing, aggregating, and analyzing data that impact administrative operations and programs. We will also better integrate and streamline grant-making functions and Trust operations to produce strong management results. Through increased investment in technological data management systems such as e-Grants, and capturing data in one central and userfriendly location (the Data Warehouse), we will develop and sustain more valuable data that is readily accessible. This will allow employees and partners to perform more efficiently and effectively. The Corporation also supports various forms of sustainability. Through strategic grant-making and more targeted capacity-building, we will provide local organizations with the tools to increase the current $300 million dollars in nonCorporation funds annually leveraged to $2.5 billion dollars over the next five years . We believe these funds will mean more Americans meeting more needs in more Strategic Plan Impro ving Lives. Strengthening Communities. and Fostering Civic Engagement 21 �communities. Deliver Exemplary Customer Service Over the next five years, we will work towards becoming a federal government leader in customer service. lt is important to us that we engage in continuous open dialogue with our grantees and other resource recipients, staff, community constituents, and other stakeholders, as well as eliminate any undue burden upon these groups that makes accomplishing their goals a challenge. This process will allow us to better serve everyone with whom we communicate as they continue meeting the needs of those they serve. We recognize that the road ahead will be challenging, but we will actively gauge how well we are doing in providing exemplary customer service 9 . As we continue to improve our relationships with constituents and partners, we will listen and respond to our customers ' feedback to ensure that our communication and responses are transparent. Build a Diverse, Energized, and High-performing Workforce The Corporation recognizes that our staff is our most valuable asset, and thus, we seek to employ a diverse, energized, and high-perfonning workforce. In order to achieve that objective, we will work to strengthen workforce diversity at all levels, reward high performers, be more responsive to and supportive of employees, provide more opportunities for professional growth, and more effectively utilize the range of employee skills. We believe our improved human capital strategies will help us foster greater employee satisfaction, enhance our performance culture, and ultimately transforn1 the agency into one of the best places to work in the federal government. Effective communication is key to successful management; therefore, we will work to ensure that key organizational decisions receive appropriate attention through dialogue between managers, staff, and the broader service network. We will incorporate feedback systems, providing staff with opportunities to be heard and with the assurance that their ideas will be incorporated into the decision process for developing management and administrative strategies. Furthermore, we will engage in ongoing communication with and through our Diversity Advisory Council and our Union to help ensure that those decisions are fair and appropriate. The Corporation aspires to become a successful learning organization . To do this, we will encourage the sharing of both knowledge and skills and produce reliable information management database systems. These elements are key to positioning the Corporation as a successful knowledge management organization. We will also provide more opportunities for staff to enhance their professional and interpersonal skills. We will provide the requisite training to augment staff knowledge in critical areas, facilitate the collaboration with issue area experts in conducting evaluations of programs, and foster " affinity groups" for programs working on the same issues. We strongly believe that proper investment in our employees leads to higher-yielding performance. To support this effort, we will reward higher-performing employees, ensuring that compensation is appropriately tied to performance. 9 Th e average sco re currentl y is 7 1.
