Welcome and Introduction - Chairperson Mulhern The meeting was called to order at 12:14 p.m. by Chairperson Mulhern and he welcomed everyone to the meeting. II. Comments by David Eisner, CEO of the Corporation for National and Community Service Chairperson Mulhern introduced David Eisner. Mr. Eisner sta1ied out by sharing that since he began with the Corporation, Kyle Caldwell has been a tremendous advisor to him. He has been with the Corporation for four months but was waiting to be confirmed by the Senate for seven months, which was during the AmeriCorps pause. He is happy to report that coming out of what some might call a "crisis year", there is a lot of good news this year. This year has the largest funding increase that AmeriCorps has ever witnessed and also funding increases in Senior Corps and Learn and Serve. Mr. Eisner noted that it's not all funding news. There is stronger bipartisan support in Congress than ever before, greater public awareness, and Governors of every state submitted strong letters of support for AmeriCorps. This is in part due to all the program has accomplished in the last ten years. It has accomplished so much good in so many communities and when it looked like the program was threatened, those accomplishments came to the forefront. Mr. Eisner shared that the Corporation's goal will be to capture the momentum and build it to a strong future to cement the awareness, the bipartisan support, the state support, and grow on the foundation of that level of support and goodwill. Mr. Eisner noted that even in the absence of a crisis, a lot of folks will tell you is not easy to do. He said the Corporation has to do this in a challenging environment. At the same time that there is a lot of new funding, Congress left the Corporation with a lot of new things that have to get done. The Corporation has to do a much better job on the accountability issues, performance of management, compliance and reporting, rulemaking for AmeriCorps programs, and has to do this with a substantial cut in operational resources. So the Corporation is giving 50% more dollars and doing more overseeing and monitoring of those dollars with less operational capacity as an organization. There are a couple of long-term solutions. One is the Corporation has to do more with less. The second is that the Corporation will need to tum more to state commissions. Certainly with the AmeriCorps program, commissions are what make the programs run. He stated that they have solved the operational shortfall by eliminating some full-time staff equivalents and some tough priority setting. 2 �One of the fascinating phenomenons when you look at AmeriCorps is there is actually more money but it's more competitive this year. Out of every ten state competitive applications, the Corporation is saying yes to four. This is also the same for dollars and slots (four often). Which overall is good news. It will end up pushing the quality of the program higher and taking some of the pressure off the challenge in the national debate to prove the importance of AmeriCorps. One of things that led the Corporation to where they are now around accountability is this feeling that there was no performance. So this means high performance will be rewarded. He also shared that Governor Granholm has set a best practice (which only a few states have done) which is to bring the capacity of volunteering and national service and other social oriented programs to deliver in a couple of well-defined areas . The focus on mentoring and early reading is exactly the right scope. It's broad enough to include a lot of different program areas yet narrow enough to make a meaningful difference. The Corporation wants to do everything they can to support states that are making smart choices like that and to make assets available for those states. States that are able to articulate those priorities will have a competitive advantage. He congratulated Michigan for doing this. Mr. Eisner also congratulated the Commission on its collaboration and relationship with the CNCS 's state office. With the Unified State Plan complete, Michigan is one of the top five states. Michigan has integrated the staff CNCS office with the Commission, and also unlike many states, it has also integrated volunteer centers into both the planning process and how it looks at service around the state and Michigan also further integrated education foundations. These four units are working in alignment with your office which bodes well for the future in Michigan and he wishes he could find a way to duplicate that across the country. Chairman Mulhern turned the conversation over to Q&A. Jocelyn Yanda asked ifthere was one thing Mr. Eisner would like to get done right now what would that be? Mr. Eisner responded by saying he would like to establish a better set of feedback mechanisms. Russ Mawby asked what Mr. Eisner thought was the role of the state commissions, what commissions should be like in the future, and what were his expectations of commissions in the mission of the Corporation? Mr. Eisner stated that an interesting challenge within states is the diversity of opportunities and needs . Another is how do you create enough flexibility that a commission that knows what it's doing is able to proactively assert its state in general. They're able to harness resources in a way that most states can' t and empower to make the kind of funding decisions that could never be done as well in a centralized way. At the same time you build systems that don' t punish the 3 �medium states for not having a commission that reports that voice out. Mr. Eisner sees a future where virtually all funding decisions will be made at the commission level. There is then a series of operational questions. One of the best incentives that we have for commissions to continue to strive and do well is the inherent competition between the commissions for the competitive grants. The bigger states (TX, FL, CA, NY) are lobbying the Corporation to basicall y to do away with state competitive awards and leave it all under fommla. The big states would then get the bulk of the money. But there are some real gems in some of the smaller states and they are receiving a lot more competitive dollars because they are doing incredibly innovative high performing programs. Mr. Eisner said he is going to propose next year that states be required to rank their submissions to the Corporation. If the Corporation knows which ones the states like in a rank order, when they come out of the peer review, they can place a high level of priority to those at the top of the list. It's going to be tough for the commissions because they are going to have to choose but it's better for the commissions to do it than the Corporation. Commissioners Parker, O'Day and Newport all agreed with this plan. Conunissioner Al Swain asked Mr. Eisner if there is some sort of national information sharing around collaboration and best practices that other commissions might use as examples or ideas? Mr. Eisner answered by saying the Corporation's strategy so far has been to let the commissioners do the work through (American Association of State Service Commissions (ASC) and Technical Assist to State Commissions (T ASC). The Corporation has to do a better job of capturing the information and publishing it. The goal at the Corporation should be to facilitate the commissions coming together to share information and develop peer networks. There then needs to be a productive discussion with commissioners about such issues as what to research. Commissioner Bensen shared his experience with working with the AmeriCorps program and his appreciation for the volunteers that come from the program. Mr. Eisner shared a statistic that 450 members of habitat will manage, train and supervise 150,000 volunteers. That is amazing leverage. Mr. Eisner stated that the Corporation has to do a better job of identifying risk but also not being prejudice to an organization. Any proposal should have some programs that are risky and some that aren't. The Corporation needs to figure out a way to help state commissions identify where the risks are in a way that doesn 't turn the Corporation into nay-sayers. Ultimately, the programs that are risky are the ones that the Corporation needs to make themselves available for technical assistance, stronger auditing, more compliance, and oversight with the goal of trying to increase their possibility. He also shared that he didn 't think they were having meaningful dialogue with state commissions about where the risks are and how they can better provide resources and work with commissions on their resources. 4 �Mr. Eisner discussed the rulemaking process and stated that the Corporation is in the final stages of submitting the rules to OMB. There is going to be change but that it will be manageable, fair, equitable, and designed to grow the program by ensuring more resources. This will get more AmeriCorps members into more communities. There is also an active role from grantees that are able to give up more costs. The Corporation will also ask the state commissions to do their own sustainability policies. A lot of different pieces of rulemaking were addressed. Mr. Eisner thinks the thing that' s going to cause the most issues is around sustainability. Mr. Eisner felt there were two pressing arguments in rulemaking. One is what about the small organizations that may not be able to do what you're asking. The second is it doesn't matter if these rules are reasonable or not, it is just one slice of the salami, this is the first step. If we don't face this issue right now, next year we'll face a much tougher situation. The goal of rulemaking is to take these issues off the table. So we're not every year fighting for our lives with the appropriations bill and these policies. From the point of view of the Corporation, the White House and the view of many folks in Congress, this proposal will be what meets to the reforms requested. Mr. Eisner stated that he was not aware of a commission that has as much talent and as focused to the task at hand as Michigan. He also conunended the board participation and said that other conunissions don't have this kind of participation. He shared that he is interested in the Commission's committee structure. III. Review and Approval of February 9, 2004 Minutes - Chairperson Mulhern Chairperson Mulhern asked for a motion to approve the minutes from the February 9, 2004 board meeting. Commissioner Parker moved to approve the minutes, Commissioner Young-Welch seconded the motion. A change will be made to the list of Commissioners present to include Tom Watkins. The motion passed unanimously. IV. Standing Committee Reports A. Executive Committee - Chairperson Mulhern 1. Review Executive Committee Report Chairperson Mulhern discussed the minutes ofthe March 17, 2004 Executive Committee meeting which were distributed to board members. During the meeting (via conference call) they approved the agenda for the May 24, 2004, MCSC Board Meeting, staff recommendations for funding the 2004 Michigan's AmeriCorps Competitive Application and staff recommendations for 2003 CERT Funding. A memo from Kyle Caldwell dated March 18, 2004, outlined the proposals. Chairperson Mulhern gave background on the tlu·ee areas of the competitive application (new, 5 �renewal, and formula submitted as competitive). He suggested that the Commission might want to establish a "Programmatic Review Committee". If the Corporation changes to a ranking system for applications, we may need to be better educated about the programs and how to rank them. Chairperson Mulhern also suggested that the Commissioners should familiarize themselves with the programs should the time come that the programs need to be ranked. Commissioner Parker asked if the staff currently ranks the AmeriCorps programs. Mr. Caldwell responded by saying that the staff does rank the programs internally but that it is not publicized. Chairperson Mulhern shared that it would be useful for the Commissioners to know who is getting funded and who is not and possibly some historical information. Chairperson Mulhern asked for a motion to approve the Executive Committee's actions for funding the 2004 Michigan's AmeriCorps Competitive Application and the 2003 CERT Funding. Commissioner Smith moved to approved the motion and Commissioner Comer seconded the motion. The motion passed unanimously. 2. Executive Director Performance Review Process Chairperson Mulhern explained that the Executive Director's performance review will be rolled into the state's new review process and will take place in October. B. Outreach and Communications Committee - Commissioner Pickard Commissioner Pickard shared that the fundraising goal of $100,000 for the Governor's Service Awards has been met and thanked everyone for helping reach that goal. Commissioner Swain suggested that the letters requesting sponsorships be sent out earlier than January. Mary Grill gave an overview ofthe Governor's Service Awards dinner and ceremony which will take place this evening. C. Board Development- Chairperson Mulhern Chairperson Mulhern asked Commissioners their thoughts on what the Commission should be looking at for new Commissioners (strengths, attributes, connections). Suggestions included mentor expert, John Lore, AmeriCorps alumni, higher education, youth, connection to corporation (Ford, GM, Chrysler), UAW/Union, media representative, faith based, senior programs, and term limited legislators (Rep. Doug Hart). 6 �D. Citizen Corps -Kyle Caldwell Kyle Caldwell gave a briefupdate on Citizen Corps. He discussed the Citizen Corps funding that was approved by both the Citizen Corps Council and the MCSC Executive Committee. A chart that was included in Commissioners packets shows the distribution of funding. The future strategy is to employ risk in the grant making. Currently it is done on a competitive basis but we need to now look at population density, community risk, and all other factors to move forward with future funding. In order to receive these federal funds, Michigan Citizen Corps had to agree to tum them around in 45 days. So the fastest system we could install was the competitive process. The integrity of the money and what the grantees are doing is sound. "But, looking at the map, you probably wouldn't put these grants where they are based on density but based on the risk." If you look at what they're doing, they're all doing work that is very valuable and necessary. The Governor gave the MCSC/Michigan Citizen Corps a charge to engage and train 15,000 citizens in CERT by the end of the year. Gary Zulinski shared that there are currently 38 Citizen Corps Councils across the state. The Detroit Citizen Corps Council is conducting CERT training in the salt mines and in their local neighborhoods. There is now a council established in each of the eight regions of the state. On the federal level, there is a new program that just started so there are five programs under Citizen Corps (CERT, Neighborhood Watch, VIPS, the new Fire Corps Program, and Medical Reserve Corps). E. Report ofCmmectMichigan Alliance- Kyle Caldwell (for John Lore) Mr. Caldwell explained that the Commissioners received a list of all those who supported the CMA endowment campaign and thanked everyone for their support in reaching the goal. V. Executive Directors Report -Kyle Caldwell A. MCSC Goals and update on Mentor Michigan Mr. Caldwell gave an update on the MCSC goals that were established at the September 2003 MCSC board retreat. A full report was distributed to the Conm1issioners and Mr. Caldwell gave a brief summary. The first major piece of progress regarding Mentor Michigan is a partnership with CNCS for a VISTA program that will focus solely on Mentor Michigan and will work in 10 communities across the state. There 7 �will be 25 members, each charged with recruiting 100 mentors. We hope over the course of three years that they will recruit 7,500 mentor matches through this program. This program is significant because it puts groups on the ground working on Mentor Michigan. The MCSC will work with the ConnectMichigan Alliance, who is the grantor, to get information on what this group is doing. They'll be doing capacity building along with recruitment. It's the first group in the field to get Mentor Michigan up and runmng. Mr. Caldwell explained that the MCSC is working with two foundations (Kellogg Foundation and Hudson Webber Foundation) to put resomces into the Mentor Michigan initiative. Chairperson Mulhern met with the Kellogg Foundation and discussed the areas ofphilanthropy/volunteerism and youth/education. They have agreed to entertain a proposal from the MCSC. The Commission is looking at a August or September window for that proposal. The MCSC is also working with the Hudson Webber Foundation. They are very excited about looking at recruitment systems and working with Mentor Michigan in Southeast Michigan. The MCSC is going to look at the Mott Foundation, which currently funds the National Mentoring Partnership. The MCSC is also working to develop tracking tools with Greg Roberts from the Governor's Office of Community and Faith Based Initiatives. The Commission is working to put together a data collection system and Mr. Caldwell explained a funnel tracking system that is being developed. The next steps regarding Mentor Michigan will be to develop a tracking system, gamer resources, tighten up communication and coordination and communicate with our stakeholders. Mr. Caldwell discussed the goals for AmeriCorps were to increase/restore the number of AmeriCorps programs, maintain the program support and broaden exposure of program efforts. The MCSC will hear from the CNCS in early summer as to what programs will be funded. The MCSC lost two programs (Oakland University and Branch ISD). Both were going to have issues with the increased match. Mr. Caldwell stated that MCSC would like to increase the AmeriCorps funding to $6 million (we are currently just under $3 million) . Ideally if you look at our size, we're still at an average to above average size portfolio. CNCS rulemaking could impact om funding. Mr. Caldwell explained the Unemployment Insurance Requirement relating to AmeriCorps members. Due to a lawsuit, AmeriCorps programs were recently required to pay for unemployment insurance for members. Representative Caswell has enrolled HB 5598 which states that AmeriCorps members are not eligible for unemployment. 8 �The next steps for AmeriCorps include examining quality issues to determine what makes a high quality program. The MCSC is examining Texas which has quality standards that determine high quality, medium quality and low quality programs to see ifthere is a way to apply them in Michigan. The MCSC is preparing a number of new AmeriCorps grantees with training grants to work with those programs to see what they need. This will be used as a learning tool on how to start new programs. Mr. Caldwell shared the goals for Michigan Citizen Corps which was to triple the number of councils (which has been filled), work with existing and new councils to include all Citizen Corps programs, establish a CERT academy and quadruple the number of CERT trainers. There are currently 39 Citizen Corps Councils. There has been $782,400 granted out to the councils. The next steps will be to train and count the number of citizens who are trained in CERT, increase the number of cmmcils, and to examine grant distribution on performance, risk factors and geographic distribution. Mr. Caldwell explained the goal for Volunteer Investment Grants were to re-acquire funds to the previous years' funding levels. We are working with the Senate and Governor's Office. The next steps include working with the Legislature and to encourage grantee involvement. Mr. Caldwell shared the goals for Learn and Serve which were to broaden the leadership and dialogue, secure increased levels of funding, develop innovative partnerships, disseminate research, and development a resource library. Regarding broadening the leadership, the Commission is now represented on the Blue Ribbon Panel on Civic Good of Higher Education, linked to the Governor's Education Summit, has been meeting with local superintendents, and involved with the Michigan Coalition on Civic Education. The MCSC is also seeking Learn and Serve Homeland Security funding. The MCSC is putting together research findings on service learning and MEAP testing. Next steps include expanding the leadership partners to include education associations. Mr. Caldwell shared that there were 150 nominations received for the Governor's Service Awards. There were six categories this year, instead of 13, so progress has been made but more outreach is needed. Mr. Caldwell handed out a Mentor Michigan VISTA program description and the financial statement for the MCSC. He gave a brief overview of the financial status of the MCSC.

Welcome and Introduction - Chairperson Mulhern The meeting was called to order at 12:10 p.m. by Chairperson Mulhern and he welcomed everyone to the meeting. II. Review and Approval ofDecember 15, 2003 Minutes - Chairperson Mulhern Chairperson Mulhern asked for a motion to approve the minutes from the December 15, 2003 board meeting. Commissioner Parker moved to approve the minutes, Commissioner Collier seconded the motion. The motion passed unanimously. III. Standing Committee Reports - Chairperson Mulhern A. Executive Committee - Chairperson Mulhern Chairperson Mulhern discussed the minutes of the January 23 , 2004 Executive Committee meeting which were distributed to board members. During the meeting (via conference call) they approved the agenda for the February 9, 2004, MCSC Board Meeting and staff recommendations for funding for Michigan Campus Compact AmeriCorps Proposal. A memo from Kyle Caldwell dated January 20, 2004, outlined the proposal. Chairperson Mulhern asked for a motion to approve the Executive Committee's actions. Commissioner Collier moved to approved the motion and Commissioner Smith seconded the motion. The motion passed unanimously. B. Outreach and Communications Committee - Commissioner Pickard Commissioner Pickard welcomed the new Commissioners to the Committee (Comer, Pellegrino and Young-Welch). She stated that there were two sponsors for the Governor Service Awards (GSA), General Motors and Lear Corporation, in the amount $10,000 each and that the committee is actively soliciting others. The goal this year is $60,000. As a means to generate additional dollars for the GSA, the committee has developed a corporate solicitation package where the corporations are offered special opportunities this year that have not been offered before. The sponsors will be able to stand on the stage with the Governor and First Gentleman and present the awards. In addition, the $10,000 supporters will also have the opportunity to have one representative seated at the table with the Governor and First Gentleman. Also one of the awards will be presented on behalf of the corporation. Letters have been sent out to solicit additional 2 �sponsors. She also requested, on behalf of the Outreach Committee, that each Commissioner, if possible, sponsor a table for $1000 or to find someone to sponsor a table. It was suggested that the Commissioner could team up with someone to sponsor a table. A media campaign is also being developed to promote the GSA. Chairperson Mulhern thanked Commissioner Comer for Lear Corporation's support of Governor's Service Awards and also the ConnectMichigan Alliance Endowment Campaign. He also thanked Commissioner Pickard for GM's support for GSA. Commissioner Comer mentioned that it would be helpful to help fill tables of those sponsors that aren't able to make it to the GSA ceremony. Commissioner K wak suggested donating those tables to some of the award finalists and their organizations. Commissioner Pickard stated that the sponsorship packets will be given out to the Commissioners. Commissioner Parker asked if there was going to be a mentoring award. Commissioner Pickard stated that the mentoring award will be sponsored by Lear and Mentor Michigan will be highlighted. Chairperson Mulhern mentioned that it was discussed at the last meeting whether to roll Mentor Michigan fimdraising into GSA fundraising but it was agreed to split them. Commissioner Bunn stated that there are some organizations that she knows that would be interested in the mentoring piece and asked if there was a way to designate whatever is left over from their GSA contribution to use towards mentoring activities. Chairperson Mulhern answered that they could. C. Report of ConnectMichigan Alliance- John Lore Dr. Lore shared an overview of new initiatives. They just finished the Michigan Campus Compact Institute. Brian O'Connell was a speaker at the Institute. The Michigan Civics Summit will begin on Tuesday, February 12, and will hold a conference in December. They are also working on a Mentor Michigan VISTA program along with the Volunteer Centers. He announced that his assistant, Kate Powers, would be leaving on February 17. He thanked Commissioner Comer for Lear's $20,000 contribution, and shared that he was in constant contact with Mr. Comer because he didn't want Lear to commit to more than was needed so that they could also sponsor GSA. The final amount raised was $10,051,000 due to last minute gifts from several organizations. He thanked Commissioners Pickard and Kwak for their help in accomplishing the goal. 3 �IV. Executive Director's Report- Kyle Caldwell A. MCSC 2004 Goals Mr. Caldwell reviewed the annual goals that were established after the 2003 Commissioner Retreat. A memo from Kyle Caldwell dated February 9, 2004, was handed out to the Commissioners outlining the progress on the goals. The big goal was to integrate Mentor Michigan into MCSC programming by examining the role of national service programs, utilizing and focusing staff on developing Mentor Michigan and aligning our programs to highlight mentoring. With regard to examining the role of national service, ArneriCorps priorities have been realigned to stress mentoring (5 out of 19 programs) and the MCSC has brokered a partnership with CNCS Michigan and CMA for an AmeriCorps*VIST A program which will set forth an infrastructure for mentoring. Mr. Caldwell commented on the great relationship that MCSC has with CNCS Michigan which is not always the case in other states. Mr. Caldwell also stated that focusing staff on the issue is critical. Paula Kaiser, Mary Grill, Joan Bowman and Mary Zatina have done a tremendous job to advance Mentor Michigan. But they all have "day jobs" so it will be critical to look at how Mentor Michigan is staffed more permanently and will be addressed in the plan that will be put forth when soliciting support. Looking at the other MCSC programs and highlighting mentoring, the Governor's Service Awards has a mentoring category, as well as mentoring activity has been added to the Volunteer Investment Grants program. The MCSC needs to look at Learn and Serve and Citizen Corps to see how to integrate Mentor Michigan into those programs. The funding and application for Learn and Serve had already taken place so mentoring was not yet a priority, but the MCSC will be looking at that stream in the future. Mentoring programs will also be pushed for Citizen Corps. Mentor Michigan: The big goal is 10,000 mentors. The MCSC is beginning to formulate a plan to reach the goal for this year which is 2,000 mentors. Other goals are to begin to assess the needs of communities, develop an awareness campaign, gather practioners to advise, and gamer resources to support the efforts. The progress to date in terms of developing a long-range plan includes a planning meeting ofMCSC and First Gentleman' s staff, feedbacks from the summits, VISTA project, and Mentor Partnership. As far as assessing the needs of the communities, over 1,000 people attended the six summits last fall where they articulated the 5 top priority areas out of the 10 that will be focused on. A study was conducted for interests and information by the web. That information was analyzed by Kale Research Solutions and found that there are currently over 17,000 mentor matches, most ages 5-18 years old, and over 2,600 are on waiting lists. An awareness campaign was developed which included Mentor Month activities. The MCSC is working to gamer practioners to advise on the plan development process. The Mentor Michigan listserve has been unveiled. The ground work has been laid in gaining support for resources. There was a meeting 4 �with the Hudson Webber Foundation and an upcoming meeting with W.K. Kellogg Foundation to talk about how to make the approaches to philanthropic communities. The feedback from foundations on the comprehensive resource development plan has helped the MCSC put together what should be looked at to make the best approach. This should be done by the time the MCSC meets in the spring. The next steps include putting the plan together, establishing a staffing plan, garnering funding, developing networks, and putting together research and evaluation tools to keep the 10,000 tally fresh and current. Michigan's AmeriCorps: There were five goals that included securing increased levels of funding, encouraging new grantees towards mentor, getting the numbers back up, maintaining program support and broadening the exposure of our efforts. As far as increased levels of funding, the MCSC was able to secure $200 million for AmeriCorps for the upcoming program year. The MCSC also aligned existing grantees towards mentoring by giving it a priority, increased the number of programs by 25%, received a $3 million allocation for formula funds, and increased funding for programs by 43% from 2003 levels. But there is still work to do because the current increase is still 21% lower than 2002. There were some staffing changes in AmeriCorps by replacing a program officer vacancy with Andy Younger, which allowed the program officer/program ratio to remain the same, and have continued the events and trainings that were scheduled. The MCSC is still in process of putting together high impact site visits to the field that help the Commission, field and organization. Next steps include continuing to focus on national issues, focusing on competitive funding and examining quality issues. As the MCSC Chair mentioned, Michigan has an excellent plan, in fact it's the model for the nation, for how to do oversight, how to do the mechanics of a great AmeriCorps program and how to support them. What is not known is the answer to the question: What does the best AmeriCorps program in the nation look like, how does it work, what does it focus on, and what does it use to sustain itself? So one of the charges that Chairperson Mulhern has made is to talk to the field and figure this question out because the answer to this will be important, especially as money becomes tight. Citizen Corps: The four goals include tripling the number of councils, working with existing and new councils to expand their programs, establishing CERT academy, and quadrupling the number ofCERT trainers. The MCSC/Michigan Citizen Corps started out with 13 councils, with a goal of 39, and are now at 23 to date, which is a 77% growth rate for the year. The MCSC is working with the Medical Reserve Corps, the VIPS program, Neighborhood Watch and Michigan ' s Surgeon General to focus on how to get the medical community involved. There have been two CERT training academies so 5 �far. Michigan has the nation' s only tribal CERT Train-the-Trainer program and is seeking partnerships with community colleges. There are over 100 CERT trainers, but the goal is to have 200 by the end of the year. Next steps include increasing the number of councils, formalizing the CERT training and getting it into institutions. The Governor has given us the charge to train 15,000 citizens by the end of the year. Volunteer Investment Grants: There are four goals which include aligning towards mentoring, re-acquiring funds for grant making, developing partnerships with corporate and philanthropic communities and establishing a data collection and research system. With regards to aligning the grant making around mentoring, it is accomplished as it was made a priority this year and is receiving great response. But when you look at the other goals, you have to look at where the Governor's budget will fall and then gage the Legislature's response. The MCSC will continue to work with current grantees to focus on those partnerships. Learn and Serve: There were six goals that include broadening the leadership and dialogue, securing increased levels of funding, developing innovated partnerships, securing and disseminating research, developing a resource library, and developing a recognition program. Representative Hart approached the MCSC to help host hearings on servicelearning and the hearings went very smoothly. The MCSC is seeking a grant for Learn and Serve Homeland Security funding that focuses on kids. As far as innovative partnerships, the MCSC is seeking alignment with Governor Granholm's MERIT Award service requirement and also convening and supporting Service Learning Youth Council (SLYC). In regards to securing and disseminating research on efficacy, RMC Research findings on service learning and MEAP will be received in March. As far as we know, no one in the country is doing this kind of research so even if findings are not significant, it is ground breaking just in the fact that Michigan has done it. The resource library is always in process and will continue to grow. A recognition program took place in partnership with the Michigan Campus Compact at the Dorothy Johnson Center for Philanthropy Reception and Annual Awards Ceremony. Next steps are to determine action plan for Homeland Security partnership and to expand the leadership partners to include education associations. Governor Services Awards: The goals include increasing the number of nominations, hosting a statewide recognition event with the Governor and First Gentleman, defraying costs with private sector support, securing media partners and broadening support for GSA. 6 �The deadline for nominations has been extended to February 27. Commissioner Pickard asked whether nomination forms had been sent out to the ConnectMichigan partners and Mr. Caldwell replied that they had. Commissioner Pickard also asked whether it was too late to recognize mentoring on a higher level and also try to get more entities involved. Is there a possibility to have four awards under the mentoring category that would include individual mentoring award, nonprofit mentoring award, corporate mentoring award, and organization mentoring award. Therefore you would highlight more of the recognition that we are trying to make a difference with mentoring. Commissioner Comer mentioned that Lear Corporation committed to three-year sponsorship and to challenge the other corporations to do the same. That would create a corporate rivalry of who could do more in the mentoring sector. Mr. Caldwell replied that the MCSC will look at what's feasible for adding to this year's mentoring category and expand next year's mentoring category. It may also be folded into fundraiser for GSA and Mentor Michigan. Back to GSA goals, Mr. Caldwell stated that this will be the first recognition program with the Governor and First Gentleman and will be held during the Michigan Volunteerism SuperConference. He discussed that there is currently $20,000 raised for GSA and will continue working towards the goal of $60,000. As far as broadening support for GSA, Suzanne Geha, anchor from WOOD TV 8 in Grand Rapids, will be emceeing the GSA event. She is also a very close friend to Diana Sieger, Executive Director of the Grand Rapids Community Foundation, and they have both said they would discuss helping MCSC expand the event and make linkages to both the media and philanthropic community. The next steps include continuing to solicit applications, aggressively pursue sponsorships, focus on the GSA program and continue to have dialogue with philanthropic organizations. Also, the new goal of expanding the mentoring category. B. Special Guest - Representative Doug Hart Chairperson Mulhern introduced Representative Doug Hart. Representative Hart commented on the hearings the House Subcommittee on Service-Learning and Civic Education held last fall. Service-Learning is about making education relevant and the most powerful way to build civic society. It engenders commitments to one's community through developing habits of giving. Everyone is a winner with service-learning. Representative Brian Palmer inaugurated this committee and asked that they gather information. They wanted to use the committee to educate legislators . There were several hearings throughout the state and there were quite a range of indi victuals that testified. He mentioned that there may be a blue-ribbon panel established to move the conversation forward. He also supports the Governors State of the State proposal to create a service 7 �requirement in the MEAP scholarship. Another area to be considered is creating a panel that looks into issues specific to the Governor's recommendations (i.e., how do you prepare communities and teachers, what sorts of organizations should take the lead in this type of effort). He feels that the subcommittee accomplished what they wanted to accomplish but couldn't have done it without the help of the MCSC. He also stated that he feels that the "white paper" that the MCSC has developed will be helpful to legislators in Michigan but also to policy makers across the country. What the MCSC has created is a model of gathering information and making sense out of the various service-learning policy areas. A document was handed out that outlined the subcommittee's recommendations. Commissioner Watkins commended Representative Hart on his efforts regarding education and service-learning. He also stated that the MERIT portion of the recommendations and 40 hours of community service are very important. It will be taken up under the MERIT awards and it will be very valuable to the work that the subcommittee did and perhaps reflection from this group to take recommendations to the MERIT board. Also, Mr. Watkins asked how do we do this so we can engage young people without creating another bureaucratic process to document and take up a lot of time that the teachers and administrators don't have? There is a lot of knowledge in this room and the work that the subcommittee did may be able to help set guidelines. Commissioner Parker stated his concern that as the subcommittee continues, that they recognize that the MCSC can help with the direction. Chairperson Mulhern asked Representative Hart if there was one thing that stood out from the hearings. Representative Hart said he was struck by the passion of those that presented and testified at the hearings and that it is the heart of servicelearning. Mr. Caldwell went through the seven recommendations from the hearings: include social studies in the MERIT award; utilize existing resources and partnerships; support public education; provide states with more resources; invest in sound, rigorous research; support teachers' professional development; and support meaningful decision making roles for youth. Commissioner Kwak shared that the W.K. Kellogg Foundation funds servicelearning on a national level and feels that the actions that the subcommittee has taken will provide a model for other states. C. MCSC Budget- Kyle Caldwell Mr. Caldwell went over the budget that was passed out to Commissioners. He also announced that the Federal CNCS audit is finally closed out was a "clean" audit. 8 �D. V. Michigan Citizen Corps - Kyle Caldwell Mr. Caldwell gave an update on Michigan Citizen Corps and explained the grant applications that have been received. By the end of the year there should be $1.3 million in funding that the MCSC will be managing. Mentor Michigan - Chairperson Mulhern A. Chairperson Mulhern shared some of the results of the survey that was conducted on mentoring by Kale Research Solutions, Inc. He pointed out one of the facts that states that 99% of individuals who mentor through formal mentoring programs recommend it to others. He discussed his thoughts on how to have a message that will stick in peoples minds about mentoring and shared a quote from a gentleman that sent an email: " Mentor Michigan can change two lives at a time." He also gave an overview of activities from National Mentoring Month including public service announcements, billboards, print ads, a tool kit on the Mentor Michigan web site and Mentor Michigan Sundays B. Next Steps- Paula Kaiser explained the ConnectMichigan Alliance VISTA program that will focus on Mentor Michigan. There will be 25 members that will be placed in teams of 3-5 around the state. They will be working on local infrastructure issues that were identified from the summits. The five areas they will focus on will be: identifying and securing resources to support and sustain mentoring; helping to recruit mentors- each VISTA will be responsible for recruiting 100 mentors so by the end of the year there will be 2500 mentors recruited just through the VISTA program; balancing and enhancing partnerships with business, faith-based organizations, nonprofits, education institutions, and government; increasing public awareness; and providing training and support for local mentoring programs. The VISTAs won't be placed in any one organization to benefit that organization, but to help benefit mentoring across the entire community. This should develop local mentoring collaborative and talk about how the organizations will share these 3-5 individuals to address the five areas. The program should be able to fund 6-7 communities depending on how many members are placed in each community. They should be able to develop some infrastructure for mentoring in those communities. In addition, quarterly extensive training will be provided to the 25 VISTA members so that they can take that back to their community. The members should be in place by late July. Mary Pfeiler pointed out that the program will focus on communities and children most in need. They will strongly encourage each collaborative to address the needs of the schools that are not meeting adequate yearly progress. Areas of focus are Saginaw, Flint, Detroit, Lansing, Benton Harbor but it is also open to collaboratives from around the state. Commissioners Young-Welch, Pickard, Comer and Smith shared the mentoring initiatives they/their organizations are doing. Commissioner Swain shared information on a 5-day mentoring/leadership conference for those with disabilities that will take place in June. 9 �VI. New business - Chairperson Dan Mulhern A. VII. Visit by David Eisner, CEO of CNCS Mr. Caldwell stated that David Eisner will be speaking at the MCSC Board Meeting on May 24th and at the Volunteer SuperConference on May 25th. He will also be doing site visits, attending the Governor Service Awards and meeting with foundations, nonprofits and Commissioners. Public Comment - Chairperson Dan Mulhern Commissioner Pardoe thanked the MCSC staff for their help during the Service-Learning Conference. Chairperson Mulhern reminded Commissioners ofthe $1 ,000 sponsorships for GSA and to get involved with Mentor Michigan. VIII. Adjourn - Chairperson Mulhern Chairperson Mulhern asked for a motion to adjourn. Commissioner Newport moved to adjourn the meeting. Commissioner O'Day seconded the motion. The meeting was adjourned at 2:50pm. 10 � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

The Michigan Learn and Serve Grant Program Through school-based grants, the Michigan Learn and Serve grant program provides youth servicelearning opportunities at schools throughout the state. The goal ofLearn and Serve - Michigan is to develop skilled, knowledgeable, personally responsible, and civically active youth. This program is funded by the Corporation for National and Community Service (CNCS) and administered by the Michigan Community Service Commission (MCSC). The Study MCSC contracted with RMC Research to conduct a first-of-its-kind study to explore the role of various program quality indicators in moderating the effects of service-learning on academic outcomes. Particular attention was paid to student engagement as the mediating variable to explain how service-learning impacts achievement. All Learn and Serve grantees were invited to participate in the study during the 2001-2002 and 2002-2003 school years. Each grantee was asked to recruit at least two service-learning classrooms and two comparison classrooms, focusing on grades in which students were tested under the Michigan Educational Assessment Program (MEAP). Nearly 5,000 students and 171 teachers participated in the study. Because recruitment of comparison classrooms was a challenge, four out of five students in the study were service-learning participants. Data collection included teacher and student surveys, and MEAP achievement data. MEAP data collection was a challenge, due to delays, changes, and errors in reporting of the MEAP data. Data analysis using a hierarchical linear modeling approach was used to examine differences in student outcomes. Selected Findings Statistically significant differences in academic achievement scores consistently favored senricelearning participants. Based on Predicted Values for Grade 5 Science MEAP comparisons ofMEAP achievement Scaled Score by Group (n=667)* scores across two school years, fifth grade service-learning participants had significantly higher writing, social studies, and science scores than students in the comparison group. Differences among students in the other grades in which the MEAP was administered (grades 4, 7, 8, and high school), were either non-significant or could not be Comparison Service-Learning tested due to small sample sizes. *p<.05 RMC Research Corporation , Denver, CO Michigan Service-Learning 2004 Research Brief �Average ratings of engagement in service-learning \Yere significantly higher than those for engagement in all school activities.

Note: 1=no; 2=sometimes; 3=yes. Teacher and student ratings of servicelearning quality were high. Teacher ratings of the extent to which their teaching reflected the 11 Essential Elements of Service-Learning (NSLC, 1998) were high, indicating that, on average, they implemented the Essential Elements slightly more than "often." Student ratings of the quality of their service-learning experience indicated that they engaged in service-learning activities associated with high-quality programs between " fairly often" and "usually." Indicators of servicelearning quality were not consistently related to outcomes, however. studeris iil'"e p-epared for al aspects oftheirservice'#!Crk Studerts en invotved in cogritivelyctoalen!jng tasks 2 3 4 Note: 1=never or almost never; 2=sometimes; 3=often; 4= always or almost always. Next Steps While these findings are promising, conclusions are somewhat limited due to challenges faced in data collection. This initial research has helped set the stage for a more rigorous and comprehensive study. In the next phase of research with Michigan Learn and Serve grantees, RMC Research will introduce additional controls to increase the utility of findings and make them more robust. First, to better control the recruitment process and ensure adequate comparisons, serviceM I CHIGA N learning sites will be selected using a stratified random sampling approach and will be accepted into the study only if appropriate comparison sites can be identified. Second, to control for differences in student outcomes that may not be attributable to service-learning, a fall pre-survey will also be administered . This will allow for examination of change over time for individual students in the COMMUNITY service-learning and comparison groups. Finally, the student survey instruments will be revised to include measures of civic knowledge, skills, and dispositions keyed to a national study of the impact of service-learning on civic engagement.

Box 30014 Lansing, Michigan 48909-7514 517-373-8962 1-866-JELKINS jenni ferelkins@house. mi .gov Representative Jennifer Elkins Michigan House ofRepresentatives 97th District Commi ttees Transportation Family and Children Services Veterans Affairs and Homeland Security April 5, 2004 Mr. Steven Goldsmith Chairman Corporation for National and Community Service 1201 New York Avenue, NW Washington, D.C. 20525 Dear Mr. Goldsmith: As a former AmeriCorps*VISTA member and supporter of national service, I would like to thank you for engaging the field of national service in a dialogue through the rule making process and would like to offer my input for your consideration. I know the power of national service first hand and feel that were it not for the skills, knowledge and experiences I gained through my term of service, I would not be a member of the Michigan Legislature today. AmeriCorps started me on a new path to that I know will positively impact the lives of others for generations. This is why I feel strongly that the rule making process must do nothing to limit communities' abilities to leverage and gamer AmeriCorps resources in ways that make real impact and change to local challenges. In addition, I would hope that the rule making process would spend special attention to the needs and limited resources of rural communities that rely on national service resources to get things done. Small communities in Clare County where I served as a VISTA member rely heavily on programs that can leverage tremendous human capital, but require limited financial commitment. As the CNCS considers making rules affecting AmeriCorps funding and operations, I strongly encourage that you consider the following: • Sustainability Resist making changes to program and grant making policies that hamper the ability of members to build effective community relationships which take long periods of time and cannot always be forged at the same pace. The CNCS should not arbitrarily limit the number of years programs can received funds , Funds should be granted based on community impact and community need. �Mr. Steven Goldsmith Page Two April 5, 2004 • Federal Share Consider the mission and goals of the AmeriCorps program, especially those related to working with small community and faith-based organizations. These, by their very definition, lack the capacity to gamer increasing resources for match to programs. CNCS funds should be allocated based on the ability of communities to provide match and not be granted by any single, universal federal cost share formula. • Tutor Qualifications The unique value of AmeriCorps is that its members are recruited to work in a community by a host institution that knows the needs of a community. In addition, local host organizations working in the area of education know the qualifications necessary for members to effectively serve and develop training ant technical assistance plans to help members develop their skills for their service. CNCS should use its existing training and monitoring systems to ensure that members are qualified to serve as tutors and utilize local requirements for their certification to work in schools. Thank you again for engaging the experts- the field of national service- in developing grant and qualification policies that will directly affect how members serve. As a former member, I look forward to working with the CNCS to help ensure that my legacy and the legacy of thousands of other members is supported well into the future to positively impact the lives of our citizens.

We are pleased you have joined us to honor and celebrate Michigan's outstanding volunteers.

We know volunteers change lives and make our communities better places to live, work, and grow for individuals and families. For this we thank you. The seven Governor's Service Awards categories represent the diverse nature of volunteerism in our state (please see pages 2 and 3 for award descriptions). Each year, friends, relatives, and colleagues submit nominations as their way of paying tribute to individuals and organizations they feel best exemplify the spirit of volunteer service. More than 150 nominations were received for this year's awards. With the help of an objective peer review panel, five fmalists and an award winner were selected in each category. This year, the peer reviewers also selected exemplary individuals and organizations as members of the Governor's Volunteer Service Honor Roll. We express our sincere thanks to the peer reviewers who volunteered their time to choose tonight's winners, finalists, and honor roll members. We are especially grateful to the 2004 Governor's Service Awards sponsors.

GRANHOLM , Governor MICHIGAN COMMUN ITY SE RVICE COMMISSION Chairperson Daniel G. Mulhern 1048 Pierpont, Suite 4 Lansing, Michigan 48913 Telephone : 517.335.4295 FAX: 517.373.4977 www.michigan.gov/mcsc Executive Director Kyle Caldwell MEMORANDUM TO: Members of the Michigan Community Service Commission Executive Committee FROM: Kyle Caldwell, Executive Director DATE: March 18, 2004 RE: Summary of March 17, 2004 Meeting The following is a summary of the meeting of the Michigan Community Service Commission Executive Committee held via conference call on March 17, 2004. The meeting was called to order at 10:00 a.m. Members present: Daniel Mulher, Chair; Russ Mawby and Meg Smith. Staff present: Kyle Caldwell, Executive Director; and Janice Harvey. 2004 Michigan's AmeriCorps Competitive Application Members reviewed the staff recommendations for 2004 Michigan's AmeriCorps Competitive Applications. Kyle Caldwell discussed the memo from Paula Kaiser outlining the staff recommendations. Michigan is requesting $1.5 million for new programs and over $500,00 for renewal applicants. The staff also recommends shifting some of the existing formula funded programs to competitive funding in the amount of$2.2 due to the quality of the programs. This will free up some of the formula funding. Kyle explained that the 50% reduction in funding from last year will be restored with the overall portfolio at $6 million, with $3 to $4 million in competitive funding. Chair Mulhern mentioned that he felt that the new competitive programs looked worthwhile and Commissioner Mawby was impressed with the range of programs. Chairperson Mulhern questioned why some programs were excluded from funding and Mr. Caldwell explained that the programs either didn ' t understand what AmeriCorps was (they �wanted to replace staff or without a service aspect) or they didn't have a capacity to administer a program. Chairperson Mulhern asked for a motion to approve the staff recommendations for Michigan's AmeriCorps Competitive Application. Commissioner Smith moved, and Commissioner Mawby seconded that the staff recommendations for new competitive programs, competitive renewal applications, and the formula programs submitted in competitive application be approved (see attached memo). The motion passed unanimously. Staff Recommendations for 2003 CERT Funding Kyle Caldwell outlined the funding requests and stated each of the councils will be funded either by 2002 funding, 2003 funding or intent for 2004 funding. This is the first time each of the eight regions will be funded. Commissioner Mawby asked for an explanation as to why Region 2 (Kent County area) has not received funding. Mr. Caldwell explained that there was skepticism with the locals to establish a Council in that region. Kentwood agreed to form a Council and has filed an intent to apply for 2004 funds. Of the 2003 CERT funding, $290,000 will go to communities not previously funded and $111,000 will go to previously funded communities (renewal) for a total of over $400,000 (see attached). Chairperson Mulhern asked whether a risk factor is taken into consideration when distributing funding. Mr. Caldwell stated that it was used as a criteria. Commissioner Mawby asked how the training was done. Mr. Caldwell explained that the training is taking place through academies at community colleges so that it is done at a local level. Commissioner Mawby mentioned that we could possibly engage the Boy Scouts in the training process. Chairperson Mulhern asked for a motion to support the 2003 CERT funding. Commissioner Mawby moved to support, Commissioner Smith seconded the motion. The motion passed unanimously. Commission Mawby commended the Council and staff on moving so far ahead in such a short time period. Chairperson Mulhern stated that a letter should be to the Council members commending their efforts. Overview of Rule Making Mr. Caldwell explained that funding is being restored but that Congress wants reform. The Corporation for National and Community Service (CNCS) is holding rule making hearings to engage the field in the process. The Corporation published a Notice of Intent to Propose a Rule in the Federal Register on March 4 (45 CFR Chapters 12 and 25). The notice lays out the issues CNCS plans to address through formal rulemaking: 1. AmeriCorps grantee sustainability, including the parameters for capacity-building activities by AmeriCorps members and volunteer recruitment; 2. Limitations on the Federal share of costs; 3. Performance measures and evaluation requirements; �4. Qualifications for AmeriCorps members serving as reading tutors and requirements for programs engaged in literacy activities; 5. Timing of the AmeriCorps grant cycle; 6. Program selection criteria; and 7. Application process for programs in their second and third years in a 3-year grant. They will seek input and use the input to make changes to AmeriCorps policies. The hearings will start in Columbus, Ohio on March 15 and will conclude in Dallas, Texas on April 2. Mr. Caldwell attended a public hearing in Columbus, Ohio on March 15 and testified. Michigan had six programs at Columbus hearing. The hearings will lead to rules in the aforementioned seven areas. After the hearings are complete, there will be a 60-day comment period and then final publication will be done by June. Mr. Caldwell noted that it would be important for the .field to get engaged. Mr. Caldwell explained that the implications are significant. The Corporation is engaging in policy changes that do not require any legislation, therefore does not require public input outside of the comment periods. Mr. Caldwell also felt that was important for the Commission, as a body, to publish something publicly (either letter or website). It was suggested that Chairperson Mulhern and Mr. Caldwell draft letter and that the Executive Committee approve it for submission on behalf of the full Commission. It was also suggested that the letter could go out to the whole Commission via email for comments and approval. The letter should focus on key issues. CNCS CEO David Eisner will be in Michigan on May 25 for the Volunteerism Superconference and hopes to hold an additional hearing on the draft rule that is published. Chairperson Mulhern suggested that during Mr. Eisner' s visit to Michigan in May, that we show him why Michigan is so special. Mr. Caldwell explained that Mr. Eisner will be visiting an AmeriCorps program in Congressman Hoekstra's district (Muskegon) that focuses on service-learning, but also shows all of the streams working in one place. It was requested that at the April 16, 2004 Executive Committee meeting that staff lay out an outline ofMr. Eisner's visit. The meeting was adjourned at 10:50 a.m. �STATE OF MICHIGAN JENNIFER M.

In the NOF A, the MCSC advertised the opportunity for potential applicants to participate in a technical assistance conference call to learn about how to apply for Michigan's AmeriCorps Funding. The Michigan's AmeriCorps Concept Papers were due to MCSC on January 15, 2004. The MCSC received 16 Concept Papers. All 16 Concept Papers were reviewed by a panel of peer reviewers on January 26, 2004. The peer reviewers recommended that 11 of the Concept Papers move to the next level which was the MCSC staff review. The staff reviewed all 11 applications and moved 9 of them forward to the next step of the application process -- the submission of a Comprehensive Application on March 4, 2004. The staff reviewed the 9 Comprehensive Applications and is recommending 7 of them be included in the MCSC competitive application submission to the Corporation for National and Community Service on March 23, 2004. The seven were recommended based on the overall quality of the application and if they meet federal funding priorities (homeland security and faith-based initiatives). Inclusion in MCSC's competitive submission does not guarantee funding. Applicants were provided written feedback that included any necessary revisions. All revisions are due to MCSC by March 19, 2004. The staff will review all ofthe revisions to ensure all �issues are addressed.

Dear Mr. Eisner: The Michigan Community Service Commission (MCSC) would like to provide its feedback to the Corporation for National and Community Service (CNCS) on the questions posed in the ongoing rulemaking inquiry. The MCSC ' s position is simple- far more flexibility and authority need to be targeted to the state local levels. The CNCS can achieve this by developing policies through the rulemaking process that take into consideration this simple position and that simultaneously answer the questions posed by the President, the U.S. Congress, and the CNCS Board ofTrustees. The MCSC would ask CNCS to consider the following: Sustainability • Require that programs and state service commissions identify sustainability strategies and plans that focus on the goals of the CNCS to maximize resources and encourage new programs and innovations. The CNCS should not impose a "one size fits all" solution to sustainability given the wide diversity of needs and resources in communities across the country. Federal Cost Share • Sustain AmeriCorps and the valuable infrastructure it's created, not withdraw and divest in what the public has clearly seen as a valuable program. With over 228 �Mr. David Eisner Page Two March 26, 2004 members of congress, 148 Mayors, 250 private sector leaders, and over 700 voices calling for the program's continuation and expansion, AmeriCorps has proven it is worth the investment. The allocation of federal resources should be determined by quality and the specific goals of the program. Performance Measures • • Insist upon and then create accountability for state- and locally-identified performance measures to improve the quality of the work of existing as well as new grantees that can be identified through an open, fair, and competitive selection process. No new policies and processes are necessary to enforce performance measures. The CNCS needs to fully and effectively enforce what is in place. Current systems with potential include performance measures, competitive grant applications, state commission standards, unified state plans and individual program performance goals and objectives. Literacy Program Member Qualifications • Utilize the literacy qualifications of each state. Where a state lacks those qualifications, the CNCS should adopt broad, but proven literacy standards. Grant Cycles • Do not impose a uniform annual calendar. Each program and the communities served by them are unique with their own set of assets and challenges. Flexibility for grant cycles should be defined by programs and state commissions based on those assets and challenges and then be held accountable for addressing them in the manner specified. Program Selection Criteria • Provide broad yet attainable goals that remain consistent over multiple grant cycles. Again, these are available to the CNCS through its existing guidance to programs (i.e. education, public safety, human needs, the environment). Yet annually the CNCS publishes new and often radically different program selection criteria. Continuation Application Process • The CNCS must lessen the reporting and related bureaucratic burdens (red tape) on grantees and potential grantees so that we can engage more small community and faith-based organizations in the good work of AmeriCorps. Continuing programs should be judged on their documented performance specified in their reports . �Mr. David Eisner Page Three March 26, 2004 The MCSC looks forward to working with the CNCS to develop effective solutions to the seven issue areas the rulemaking process will address. Most of all, we hope that the CNCS and its Board of Trustees will rely upon the experience of the field in implementing the policy changes that this process will dictate. Sincerely, /)1 CJJJJ!

GRANHOLM JOHN 0 . CHERRY. JR. LANSTNG April 29, 2004 Mr. David Eisner Chief Excculive Officer Corporation for National and Community Service 1201 NewYorkAvenue, NW Washington, DC 20525 Dear Mr. Eisner: I am writing to add my thoughts and suggestions on the proposed :refonns to AmeriCorps currently under consideration. I appreciate the opportunity to comment based on my experience with national service programs in the state of Michigan. I am a great supporter of national service and Amer:tCorps. having seen the impact that AmenCorps prograirul are making on communities across Michlgan. Programs like Downrtver CARES in Wayne County, AmeriCorps Oakland, Readlng Core in Ionia County. City Year Detroit, and Habitat for Hwnanity, are all recipients of AmertCO:rp$ grants and are all making a tremendous difference in our state. Michigan ia a state blessed wttll people who demonstrate a capacity for giving. AmertCorps has leveraged that capacity by garnering public and private resources. generating additional volnnteers and elevating the ability of nonprofits to deliver services more effectively. AmeriCOrp$ help~ c;o.mmunitles that are dealing with enormous challenges - unemployment, disinvestment from industrtes moving overseas, and the continued challenge of balancing the needs of urban cities like Detroit and Ann Arbor With those of our rural citizens like those in Greenville and Charlevoix. In these communities AmeriCorps programs are helping children do better in reading, :w.ath, and in their attitudes towards school. Am~Corps works and ~ an excellent example of a federal program that supports, in partnership with trern~ndous states. cities, and the private sector, a wide variety of organizations that can meet the diverse needs of our state. This is not the time to stop investing in AmerlCorps. The federal government must maintain its commitment to this vital program. At the same thne the Corporation Cor :National and Community Service should not develop P:O. eOX M013 • LANSING, MICHIGAN 4al)O!J www.mlchlu11n.uov �David Eisner Corporation for National and Community Service Page 2 any rules that will hinder the innovation and accountability state service commissions have bee:n able to garner from communities. My admin1stratlon is constantly exam.1.nl.ng ways to make Michigan's government more effective, responsive and meaningful in the lives of our CitiZens. The Michigan Community Service Commission has paid particular attention to these principles by proactively developing Michigan-speclfl.c polJ.cles on organizational development, progra.tJJ.Uiatlc sustainability. and community impact. These policies are constantly examined for effeCtiVeness to ensure that Ameri.Corp~ works for Michigan·~ communiti~large and small. While I applaud the Corporation's own examination of its policies and procedures, I strongly encourage you to not tie the hands of states. In conside:rtng the proposed reforms to AmeriCorps, which include increasing match requirements and setting time limits to how long organiZations can receive AmertCorps funds, I suggest that you consider the needs of states like Michigan and recognize that many states have sustainability and other policle$ that ~ working. I strongly reeom.mend that the Corporation: • not develop any rules that wo~<l b:lb:blge ~<1/ o~ ~om.pro:mise the flenbillty states ileed to serve the individual a:nd specific needs of communities. • leave match requirements as they are, a:nd instead provide Incentives through challenge grants to develop innovation in new • p~gram. areas; and allow state service commissions to balance their portfolios by applying funds raised by organizations in urban areas that exceed match requirements to smaller programs in rural areas that struggle to meet the current match. On a separate, but equally important point, setting time 11m1ts would burden states by destroying the service infrastructure that local fonndations, bu!S:lne$$e$ aud mdf:vl.duals have created alongside the federal government's investment. In Michigan, AineriCorpe volunteers are providing needed services, such as mentoring and t1.1torio.g cb.ild:r.-en 1n our schools. Older AmeriCorps programs have demonstrated the abillty to meet community needs. have built strong service partnuships, and have demon.$ trated to comm'Unity members that they add value �David Eisner Corporation fo~ National and Community Service Page 3 through their service. I sugae.st that instead of setthlg time Umits, you allow state service commissions to continu~ to award grants based on competition to organizations that are best able to fulfill community needs and in accordance with their own sustainablllty policies. As the first member of my family to go to college, I applaud AmertCorps for offeiUlg educational opportunity to its members. Like many AmerlCorps members, I ~truggled to put myself through college and gain the knowledge and experiences necessary to succeed. Amc:riCorps proVides corps members With the opponuruty to gain real work experience, to develop a sense of civic engagement, and to earn educational awards. AmertCorps members deserve proper training and support for their service. and they deserve to be paid a liVing allowance that will support their daily needs. I encourage the Corporation to keep llvl.ng allowanceti and cost per member at the current rate. Again. I appreciate the opportunity to provide comment on the rulemaking process, and applaud CNCS for soliciting public involvcmen.t in idcmtifying the best framework through which to fund this vezy bnporlant program. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

He was appointed by President Bush and began serving in December 2003. A nationally recognized leader on nonprofit capacity-building, infrastructure, and organizational effectiveness, Eisner has focused his time at the Corporation on strengthening the accountability of the organization, improving customer service by the organization, and increasing public trust in the organization. One of his major challenges is to guide the AmeriCorps rulemaking process, through which he intends to resolve some longstanding issues regarding the regulations that govern AmeriCorps grants. The goals of the rulemaking process, as well as all of Eisner's management efforts, are to make the Corporation' s programs more efficient, effective, and accountable; to ensure that national and community service programs add value to traditional volunteering and the nonprofit world; and to bring a far greater degree of consistency, predictability, and value to the Corporation's programs. From 1997 until2003, Eisner was a Vice President at AOL Time Warner, where he directed the company's charitable foundation. Before that, he was a Senior Vice President ofFleishmanHilliard International Communications, and prior to that he managed public relations at the Legal Services Corporation. He started his career on Capitol Hill, serving as press secretary for three Members of Congress. In addition to his professional activities, Eisner has served on the boards of several national nonprofit organizations, including Independent Sector, the National4-H Council, and Network for Good. A graduate of Stanford University, he received his law degree from Georgetown University Law Center. He and his wife, Lori, live in Bethesda, Maryland, with their four young children. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

GRANHOLM, Governor MICHIGAN COMMUNITY SERVICE COMMISSION Chairperson Daniel G. Mulhern 1048 Pierpont, Suite 4 Lansing, Michigan 48913 Phone: (517) 335-4295 Fax: (517) 272-4977 www.michigan.gov/mcsc Executive Director Kyle Caldwell MEMORANDUM TO: Members of the Michigan Community Service Commission Executive Committee FROM: Kyle Caldwell, Executive Director / DATE: January 20, 2004 V tJl__ RE: Staff Recommendations for AmeriCorps Funding (Education Award Only Grant) Recommendation The Michigan Community Service Commission (MCSC) staff recommends provisional approval of the Michigan Campus Compact (MCC) AmeriCorps Education Award Only program for 300 minimum-time members (serving 300 hours each per year) and a total of$24,000 in operation costs. Applicant Members and Hours Michigan Campus Compact 300 @ 300 hrs. /year Total Value 300 members Full-time Equivalent (FfE) 60 Amount of Grant Educational Awards $400 X 60FTE 300@ $1,000 each $24,000 $300,000* (1FTE=5 minimum-time members) 60FfE * Education A wards are administered directly by the CNCS with the individual members. The MCSC would not be responsible for the administration of these awards. Summary The staff received an application for an AmeriCorps Education Award Only program from the MCC to engage 300 minimum-time (300 hours) members (60 full-time equivalent), year around, to provide services to youth state wide. The Education Award Only programs differ from our other AmeriCorps programs in that the applicant underwrites the costs of operating the program �(with the exception of a $400/FTE allotment), and in exchange the Corporation for National and Community Service will provide the Education Award to the members who have served. As a program ofthe MCC, college students at the organization's member campuses will be enrolled and supervised through campus service offices and partner community organizations. Campuses will participate in a competitive application process to receive members, and place them in local partner community organizations to complete their service. Members will mainly be comprised of those students who qualify for Federal Work Study, thus encouraging each university to lend increased support to meet local community needs. In addition, a large component of each member' s development will focus on increasing their understanding of civic engagement and effective citizenship, by incorporating training and discussion on related topics into the program's member development plan. While at their service sites, members will engage youth in activities such as mentoring in order to increase youth socialization, self-esteem and confidence. Members will also recruit at least 10 community volunteers each in support of program activities, leveraging a total of3,000 additional community volunteers. The MCSC staff believes that the proposal is sound and would prove competitive. Therefore staff requests provisional funding to proceed with the submission of the application to the Corporation for National and Community Service so that the MCC may address the following: 1. Narrowing and identifying the specific community needs the members will address through their service. 2. More clarity on how MCC will identify sites and incorporate them in the overall monitoring/evaluation plan the MCC will use to measure impact. 3. More specificity on outcome measures for the program. Education Award Only programs have three submission dates: February 3, 2004, May 11 , 2004, and November 2, 2004. This application would be slated for a February 3rd submission. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

"Service-learning is an innovative and proven teaching method that is really changing the lives of children and the quality of the communities in which they live," said Kyle Caldwell, Executive Director of the Michigan Community Service Commission (MCSC), the organization hosting the awards celebration. "Children are taking what they learn in the classroom and applying it through service that benefits their own community. The MCSC is proud to recognize those that are doing this in an outstanding way." Mr. Polanyi is a third grade teacher and was honored for his leadership, enthusiasm, and encouragement in working with his students and other teachers. His students have taken the lead in the preservation of their community's history, which includes an activity with 100 year-old resident Dorothy Dalson. The students updated the printed history of Twin Lake and are now working to develop museum quality display cases that have local artifacts and information students have gathered. Twin Lakes Elementary is part of the Reeths-Puffer School District. Benona Elementary School was honored for their Purple Loosestrife Project. Teacher Lisa Ramthun and her fifth grade science class have been reducing the Purple Loosestrife population in west Michigan since 200 I by using beetles, the plant's natural enemy. Students raise and release beetles and monitor the plant's growth rate while learning key concepts of biological control, research methods, and wetland ecology. The project is being completed in partnership with the Michigan State University Purple Loosestrife Project, Adopt A Stream, and the Stony Lake Property Association. Benona Elementary School is part of the Shelby Public Schools. Learn and Serve- Michigan, a program of the MCSC, developed the 2004 Outstanding Service-Learning Awards to recognize service-learning excellence in Michigan. The two awards were presented in what will become an annual recognition ceremony. Annually, one teacher is honored for leadership and for helping others expand service-learning activities; and a K-12 service-learning program is honored for demonstrating innovation and excellence. The 2004 awards were presented at 5:30p.m. at the KirkofCenter on Grand Valley State University' s Allendale Campus. BACKGROUND: Service-learning is a way of teaching that connects learning with meaningful service to the community. Servicelearning enhances students' motivation to learn, increases attendance, and reduces drop out rates. This approach to teaching connects learning with real-life issues. Learn and Serve- Michigan, a program of the Michigan Community Service Commission (MCSC), grants funding to help schools provide and enhance service-learning programs. The MCSC builds a culture of service by providing vision and resources to strengthen communities through volunteerism. In 2004, the MCSC is granting $3.9 million in federal funds and $280,100 in state funds to local communities to support volunteer programs and activities. ### � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
