Are they ready to assume the responsibilities of managing a democracy? For more than 250 years, Americans have shared a vision of a democracy in which everyone understands, appreciates, and engages in community and political life. To sustain itself, democracy requires citizen participation. In recent decades, however, increasing numbers of Americans have become disengaged and do not vote, volunteer, stay informed about or participate in political activities, or give to charities. While today's youth are more likely to volunteer than in previous generations, they are less likely to vote or be involved in political issues. As a result, young people may not be prepared to actively participate in our democracy when they become adults. Studies show that young people who receive civic education: • Have an awareness of and participate in solving national, state, community, and school issues • Understand social problems, their history, and solutions that have been attempted • Understand the role individuals and organizations play in addressing social needs in their community and beyond • Develop civic values such as concern for the rights and welfare of others, social responsibility, tolerance and respect, and belief in their ability to make a difference Civic education happens in many ways and in many different places, and evidence suggests that much can be done to encourage and increase civic engagement among youth. Schools play a critical role through classroom instruction, facilitating discussion, and providing opportunities for students to put civic knowledge into action. Community organizations can help young people take action on issues and provide opportunities for students to discuss social matters. Families and other community members can engage young people in civic and political discussions as well as encourage and support them while they explore and solidify fledgling value systems. Civic education and service-learning go hand in hand. Service-learning is a teaching method that combines classroom curriculum with service to the community. It has been shown that curriculums integrating service-learning can provide the citizenship education youth need to become civically engaged in their communities.

Lenny leaves today for Washington, DC to participate in Voices for AmeriCorps: 100 Hours of National Service Testimony and will share his story as a member of AmeriCorps Oakland as he fights to reinstate funds for the embattled program. Lenny is a student at Oakland University who served two years as a part-time AmeriCorps member while working toward his degree. He and 36 other AmeriCorps Oakland members tutored 450 first through fifth grade children who showed a 92 percent improvement in their reading skills, an 81 percent improvement in their spelling skills, and a 91 percent improvement in math scores. "There are a lot of children in Oakland County whose lives are better because of AmeriCorps. If I can make this kind of difference in the lives of children in Oakland County, imagine the changes AmeriCorps members are making all across our state and our country. It would be a travesty to see this program cut," said Lenny Compton. Next year a 60 percent funding cut to Michigan 's AmeriCorps programs will reduce the number of AmeriCorps members serving all over Michigan in programs similar to Lenny's from 700 to 300. VOICES FOR AMERICORPS: 100 HOURS OF NATIONAL SERVICE TESTIMONY Thousands of AmeriCorps supporters will gather in Washington, DC for the Voices for AmeriCorps hearing on September 2nd- 6th. The purpose of the hearing is to secure $100 million in emergency funding for the 2003-04 AmeriCorps programs. Voices for AmeriCorps will present 100 around-the-clock hours of testimony from AmeriCorps alumni, business and philanthropic leaders, faith-based leaders, community-based service beneficiaries, policymakers, AmeriCorps program directors, educators, and government leaders from all across the United States. This unprecedented event includes testimony from Joe Banner, president and COO of the Philadelphia Eagles; Robert Corrigan, president of San Francisco State University; Steven Culbertson, president, CEO of Youth Serve America; Bob Goodwin, president and CEO of the Points ofLight Foundation; Ambassador Jim Joseph, former U.S . Ambassador to South Africa; Joe Klein of Time Magazine; Wendy Kopp, president of Teach for America; Robert Putnam, author and professor at Harvard University; Kevin Quigley, president of the National Peace Corps Association; Bill Shore, founder and executive director of Share Our Strength; Secretary Voices for AmeriCorps- September 3, 2003 Page 1 of 2 �Rodney Slater, U.S. Secretary of Transportation (1997-2001); and Harris Wofford, former Senator and co-chair of America' s Promise - The Alliance for Youth. Also testifying are representatives from AOL Time Warner, Brookings Institution, Ewing Marion Kauffman Foundation, and Sylvan Learning Systems. Lenny will give his testimony on Thursday, September 4th, during the morning session from 8:00a.m. to noon. Kyle Caldwell, executive director of the Michigan Community Service Commission (MCSC), the state agency that administers Michigan' s AmeriCorps funding, will give testimony on September 4th and will moderate the morning session. ABOUT MICIDGAN'S AMERICORPS Michigan ' s AmeriCorps is similar to a domestic Peace Corps. Programs are housed within nonprofit organizations, schools, and other agencies throughout the state. Individuals, called members, serve in these organizations to meet community needs around education, public safety, the environment, and other human needs. In an average year, 700 Michigan 's AmeriCorps members help improve the lives of more than 115,000 people and recruit approximately 19,000 volunteers. Next year due to the 60 percent funding cuts, the reduced number of AmeriCorps members will only be able to reach 46,000 people and recruit 7,600 volunteers. The MCSC funds and supports programs that encourage all Michigan residents to volunteer. Annually, the MCSC grants more than $7.5 million in federal funds and $780,000 in state funds to local communities for volunteer programs and activities. #### Voices for AmeriCorps- September 3, 2003 Page 2 of 2 � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Introduction This fiscal year, State of Michigan funds are available for the purpose of providing Michigan's Volunteer Investment Grants (VIG) to community- or university-based, volunteer, nonprofit agency partnerships that designate and support an agency to function as a community volunteer clearinghouse. Background Volunteers are essential ingredients to the health and vitality of our communities and act as critical problem-solving resources to communities. According to the Institute for Public Policy and Social Research, almost 90% of Michigan's nonprofit agencies depend on volunteers to deliver services. Volunteers are the human capital foundation of the community nonprofit sector. Yet communities often lack the infrastructure to support community volunteerism. More than half of Michigan's nonprofit organizations report that they do not have enough volunteers. Communities need support for community volunteers. The central pillar of this support in most communities is a nonprofit volunteer resource center that recruits and places volunteers, and serves as a volunteer information clearinghouse. Michigan's VIG will increase the number and self-sufficiency of local volunteer resource centers while building their capacity to increase the number of volunteers involved in community problem-solving. Michigan's VIG fund volunteer resource centers to support volunteer activities in their communities. Michigan's VIG serve the dual purposes of 1) supporting community-wide volunteer activities while 2) leveraging local dollars to be placed in a permanent agency endowment that will fund volunteer resource center activities in perpetuity. Goals Michigan's VIG must meet three goals. • Michigan's VIG must support and increase volunteerism and community service initiatives in local communities. • Michigan's VIG must leverage funds for permanent agency endowments housed within a community foundation that will help sustain the activities of a community volunteer resource center. • Michigan's VIG must facilitate and enhance community partnerships that support volunteerism. Michigan's Volunteer Investment Grants Application Guidelines 1 �How They Work Community Identified Volunteer Resource Center An agency or organization currently serving as, or planning to serve as, a communitywide volunteer resource center, convenes, at a minimum, four local agencies to agree to enter into a collaborative partnership and to designate the convening agency as the community volunteer resource center. The designated agency should already serve as a volunteer resource center or be working with the Volunteer Centers of Michigan ( www.mivolunteers.org) and/or Michigan Campus Compact ( www.micampuscompact.org) to develop organizational development plans in accordance with membership standards. Once the lead agency determines their capacity to serve as a volunteer clearinghouse, they must assess their current ability to begin a major fund development campaign as required by the Michigan ' s VIG. While every community is unique, effective partnerships may include: volunteer centers, United Ways, community and neighborhood nonprofit organizations, public schools, institutions of higher education, hospitals, senior centers, senior volunteer agencies, MSU Extension offices, local government offices, multi-purpose collaborative bodies and other entities that regularly involve volunteers. The purpose of the partnership is to demonstrate the community's broad and sustaining support for its community volunteer resource center and to maximize the community's assets throughout the year. OR A group of not fewer than five community agencies convene to enter into a collaborative partnership to designate a local agency or organization to serve as the community' s volunteer resource center. This agency must be willing and able to place volunteers community-wide and not just with partner organizations. As in the previous example, the agency must assess their current ability to begin a major fund development campaign as required by the Michigan's VIG. As the designated community resource center, the applicant must agree to provide countywide volunteer services including, but not limited to, volunteer recruitment and placement, volunteer clearinghouse information, work to generate public awareness around the issue of volunteerism and participate in strategic community development initiatives. The designated volunteer agency must not duplicate the services provided by an existing organization, but may serve to enhance the services provided by existing organizations. Permanent Agency Endowment The partners secure the agreement of a community foundation to establish a permanent agency endowment fund. The money generated from this endowment is used to support a community and/or nonprofit volunteer agency in the role of the designated local volunteer resource center. (See Section III. Application Process for the specific agreement.) Michigan's Volunteer Investment Grants Application Guidelines 2 �OR The partners secure the agreement of a community foundation to track contributions to a previously established permanent agency endowment fund in the name of the community volunteer resource center for the purposes required by the Michigan 's VIG. In addition to the formation of a community partnership, Michigan ' s VIG require an agreement between the county' s designated volunteer resource center and the community foundation or college endowment. The foundation must agree to establish and manage a permanent agency endowment fund for the community volunteer resource center for the purposes outlined in the grant proposal. In a case where the designated agency may already have a permanent agency endowment fund managed by the community foundation, the community foundation must agree to track the funds raised to match the Michigan's VIG. In all cases, the foundation must certify endowment fund levels and match amounts for the Michigan's VIG. Michigan's VIG recipients are encouraged, but not required, to exceed the minimum cash match and continue to build on the endowment fund. The local endowments will be managed by the foundation and governed by local, state, and federal tax and regulations applicable to such funds. Community-wide Plan for Increasing Volunteerism The partners develop a community-wide plan for increasing volunteerism through outreach and recruitment, the community' s capacity for volunteer problem-solving, and the systems necessary for placing increased numbers of volunteers in more community organizations and groups that need them. The plan should also include two visible community-wide volunteer projects that meet community needs, demonstrates measurable community results, shows the value of the Michigan's VIG and generates a broad awareness about the fund development campaign. For 2004, priority will be given to applicants who propose a community-wide plan that increases and supports mentoring in the community. Funds Available and Grant Size A total of $280,100 is available for grants. Applicants may apply for a grant of $25,000. Funds may be used to cover any expenses related to the operation and maintenance of the volunteer resource center including, but not limited to, staffing, office expenses, transportation, programs, supplies and materials and other costs. Match Requirements The applicant must match the Michigan's VIG with a $1-to-$1 local cash match. THE CASH MATCH (local funds) MUST BE DEPOSITED IN A PERMANENT AGENCY ENDOWED FUND ADMINISTERED BY THE APPROPRIATE COMMUNITY FOUNDATION. IN-KIND MATCH IS NOT ALLOW ABLE UNDER THIS GRANT PROGRAM. Michigan ' s Volunteer Investment Grants Application Guidelines 3 �Michigan's VIG funds may support the volunteer activities promoted and supported by the community volunteer resource center. NO PORTION OF THE MICHIGAN'S VIG (state funds) MAY BE DEPOSITED IN THE ENDOWMENT FUND. Grant Approval/Cash Disbursement If the Michigan Community Service Commission approves the application, the grantee will have six months from the grant start date to secure 50% of the cash match. At the time of the deposit of the 50% match, the community foundation will complete an Endowment Certification Form to certify the formation of the permanent fund and its match level to the MCSC. Upon this notification, the MCSC will release 50% of the cash grant in accordance with the approved grant budget. At the time of the deposit of 100% of the cash match- which should occur no later than 12 months after the grant start date, the foundation will again notify the MCSC and certify the match level. At that time the MCSC will release the remaining 50% of the grant award in accordance with the approved budget. Reporting Requirements Michigan's VIG recipients must submit brief progress reports after six, twelve and eighteen months of the grant start date that summarizes program activities, the status of the endowment fund, and grant expenditures. Eligible Applicants Effective community partnerships are essential for supporting and sustaining community volunteerism. Michigan's VIG is intended to facilitate and enhance community partnerships that support volunteerism. Applicants for Michigan's VIG must be designated by a nonprofit community partnership to serve as a community volunteer resource center. Public and private nonprofit organizations, such as United Ways, Volunteer Centers, senior centers, intermediate school districts, colleges/universities, and MSU Extension Offices may apply. TO ENSURE GEOGRAPHIC DIVERSITY, ONLY ONE MICHIGAN'S VIG WILL BE AWARDED PER COUNTY ANNUALLY. Multiple applicants will only be considered in the event that the applications are developed collaboratively in a manner that prohibits duplication of services. In these situations, applicants must submit applications clearly delineating each applicant's responsibility for programming and fundraising. In cases where the applicant agency serves more than one county, it is imperative that nonprofit community partnerships be formed with a minimum of four organizations per county. II.

These grants help build community- or universitybased, volunteer, nonprofit agency partnerships to support the formation or continued growth of local volunteer clearinghouses. Michigan's VIG program was founded on the idea that volunteers provide a vital problem-solving resource to communities. According to a study by the Institute for Public Policy and Social Research, ninety percent (90%) of Michigan's nonprofit agencies depend on volunteers to make services available, making them an essential part of the nonprofit community. Unfortunately, many communities struggle to sustain the essential infrastructure necessary to support volunteerism. Michigan's VIG is designed to: empower communities with an ongoing source of funds to create or increase the self-sufficiency of a local volunteer resource center; build the center's capacity; and increase the number of citizen volunteers involved in community problem-solving. In its first five years, seventy-seven grants have been awarded leveraging nearly $5 million in local cash match. $25,000 grant will be awarded for the 2003-2004 cycle. A total of$280,100 is available. Michigan's VIG requires a $1-to-$1 local cash match and that local agencies come together in a collaborative partnership to designate one community organization to serve as their community volunteer clearinghouse. Community partners must secure agreements from the appropriate community foundation to establish an agency endowment for the purpose of supporting the community volunteer clearinghouse. The enclosed application guidelines provide details on the application process and program requirements. Please review this infom1ation carefully and return your completed grant proposal to the MCSC office by 5:00p.m. on October 23 , 2003. Facsimiles or E-mail submissions will not be accepted. This is an excellent opportunity to expand the capacity of communities and institutions of higher education to solve problems through volunteerism. If you have any questions about this opportunity, please feel free to contact Angelia Salas at (517) 335-3407 or via E-mail at salasa@michigan.gov.

Specifically, they are requesting modification of the grant award sizes the narrowing of the eligibility requirements to include only volunteer centers that serve a specific geographic area or community and that operate under a set of national core competencies. After careful consideration and thorough review of the past grant procedures and trends, the staff recommends the following : 1. The MCSC lower the grant amounts from a range of$25,000 to $100,000 to $20,000$50,000. Given the massive reduction in state funding in 2003 (only $280,100 available-a $500,000 cut), this range allows us to continue funding a large number of programs without jeopardizing the grantee's ability to aggressively build an agency endowment. We have considered the issue of lowering the range before and have been reluctant to do so in fear of reducing its impact. Ultimately, we hope that agencies will obtain enough earnings to support staff, programs, scholarships and other valuable volunteer initiatives. We know that will not be possible by making smaller contributions. 2. The goal of this program and of the Michigan Community Service Commission is to be as inclusive as possible with all of our grant making while maintaining the highest quality programs. Similarly, we believe that these programs should enhance and expand the volunteer infrastructure in the state. We recommend, therefore, that the current eligibility requirements remain. �VOLUNTEER CENTERS OF MICHIG• N August 28, 2003 Mr. Kyle Caldwell Executive Director Michigan Community Service Commission 1048 Pierpont, Suite 4 Lansing, MI 48911 Dear Kyle: At the Volunteer Centers ofMichigan (VCM) meeting on August 21, 2003, VCM member Directors discussed the recent decrease in State of Michigan funding to the Michigan's Volunteer Investment Grant program (VIG). They expressed great appreciation for the opportunity to participate since 1998 in this model endowment award program; they also voiced concern over the considerable reduction in dollars now available to participants. Volunteer Centers in Michigan are usually small- most have budgets of less than $100,000, with limited opportunities for funding beyond local contributions. The VIG endowment building program has been the only government program that has focused on volunteer centers as the primary vehicle for increasing capacity and sustainability of the community volunteer infrastructure. Over the past six years, twenty-eight Volunteer Centers have participated in the VIG grant. They have shown their commitment to building sustainability by developing community partnerships, and by increasing volunteerism among all demographic segments of their communities. With the limited amount of funding currently in the VIG grant ($280, 100), Volunteer Centers are requesting that the Commission consider the following changes to the program structure: • Lower the minimum and maximum amounts per grant. This would allow a larger number of community volunteer resource centers to participate in the process. • Limit funding to community volunteer centers that serve and involve an entire community, (e.g., a geographic area such as a city or county), and operate under a set of national core competencies, rather than those organizations that promote volunteerism among only a selected group of people. Rationale for this recommendation 1. There is a continued need for Volunteer Centers to strengthen local volunteer infrastructure, especially in light of the many opportunities being proposed by the State of Michigan to promote mentoring, youth community service, and Citizen Corps involvement in local communities throughout Michigan. Volunteer Centers are eager to build their capacity to participate in these important initiatives. 2. In 2000, award eligibility was expanded to a larger pool of applicants beyond the community volunteer centers, because funds were not being fully expended. However, in 2000, a university research survey established that it was in the years when awardees were required to increase their match beyond the I : 1 level that applications declined. The subsequent change to a consistent 1: 1 match attracted a higher number of applications and competition, which mitigated the perceived need to widen the applicant pool. With a more achievable 1048 Pierpont, Suite 3, Lansing, Michigan 48911-5976 Phone: (517) 492-2430 • Fax: (517) 492-2444 • Email: tymowicz@mivolunteers.org Toll Free: 1-888-393-4737 (Michigan only) • www.mivolunteers.org �standard for the match, it has become clear that the community-based volunteer resource centers are the ri ght target group for the expected outcomes of the VIG grant. Working to get a larger group involved beyond Volunteer Centers is not necessary; nor does it achieve the desired result of strengthening the larger community's infrastructure. While we are concemed about the decrease in funding for Michigan 's Volunteer Investment Grant, we are committed to the value of the program. This was substantiated by the amount of advocacy VCM and its member Volunteer Centers did to educate legislators on the importance of maintaining the full grant appropriation, as was recommended by Govemor Granholm's FY04 budget. Our request for the Commission ' s review is fueled by our determination to strengthen our collaborative work in Michigan ' s communities and to insure that volunteerism has continued support well into the future. Thank you, Kyle, for the professionalism with which you and the MCSC staff have administered the MVIG program. The accompanying training and technical assistance you have provided to grant recipients has also been very instrumental in increasing our fundraising skills. And we would be remiss if we did not take this oppmiunity to specifically thank Angelia Salas for her steady support and guidance in her role as MVIG program development coordinator. If either of us can further clarify this request, please call.

The Marquette Alger Regional Education Service Agency was funded for 12 Full-Time Equivalent (FTE) members at $147,359 . We have been informed that the CNCS funded 2,037 FTEs out of the competitive funding nationally. Given that for the past three years we have leveraged over $3 million per year, this came as quite a shock to us . We have requested feedback from the CNCS on the applications and justification for why they were not selected for funding. Based on the outcomes of the national competitive application process, the staff was faced with a tremendously difficult decision. We had $1 ,627,634 million in formula funds available to support additional programs, but were informed by CNCS that we could only fund 53 FTEs with our those funds . We had 27 applications requesting $7,454,333 to consider. In making its funding recommendations, the staff considered the quality of the application submitted, past perfom1ance, and geographic and program focus area diversity. The staff makes the following three recommendations: �Michigan's AmeriCorps Formula Application Process Recommendation #1 The staff requests that the following applicants be funded at the reduced recommended amount for the 2003-04 program year. Legal Applicant 2002 2002 FTEs Funding Branch County Intermediate 10 School District 14 Camp Fire USA West Michigan Council City Year 70 20 The Guidance Center 12 Ionia County Intermediate School District 20 Michigan Department of Agriculture 20 Oakland University 15 Volunteer Muskegon 181 Total 2003 2003 2003 $127,513 FTEs Funding Requested Requested 10 $129,036 FTEs Recomm 5 Funding Recomm $64,000* $181,943 15 $193,482 5 $64,000* $700,000 $252,503 $151,165 70 32 15 $735,000 $410,407 $191,962 12 7 5 $153,600* $89,600* $64,000* $233,865 25 $269,314 7 $89,600* $215,100 20 23 $186,538 $2,048,627 210 2003 $230,603 7 $298,978 5 $2,458,782 53 $89,600* $64,000* $678,400 * Currently, the average federal cost of a FTE member cannot exceed $12,800. All staff recommendations reflect that figure. State commissions have asked the Corporation to eliminate the FTE cost cap for the 2003-04 program given the extenuating circumstances. If the cap is lifted the staff would recommend that each application be given additional funds to continue to support a full-time program director. �Recommendation #2 The staff recommends the following applicants receive additional consideration if additional member slots and funds become available for the FY 2003-04 program year.

Members will also recruit and manage 150 parent volunteers annually to support program activities. Even though many of those served by the program are considered "low-income", services are provided regardless of income, making the Success by Six program the only provider of such services to some residents of the county. In the past 2 Y2 years the program has been able to provide 5,284 parents with regular home visits utilizing the Parents as Teachers curriculum, which promotes healthy and positive parent-child interaction. Of those served, 70% showed improvements in their knowledge of parenting skills in just six months. In addition, children in families with two or more risk indicators were tested using the Infant Development Assessment, and those served by the program (46 of 50 tested) indicated higher scores than children not receiving services. County Served: Branch Camp Fire USA West Michigan Council Neighborhood Youth Development Camp Fire USA's Neighborhood Youth Development Program, a pre-existing program, plans to engage AmeriCorps members to expand the local Camp Fire after-school and summer programs in an effort to provide a safe environment for children during out of school time, serving 532 after-school and 380 summer participants at six sites. Members would deliver in class Campfire USA Self-Reliance curriculum to 1231 students in Grand Rapids urban schools. Members would recruit at least 330 volunteers who would each spend 1 - 3 hours per week in after-school and summer programs. Members would also assist in the development of Camp Fire's Community Family Club program in order to increase opportunities for 48 parents and adults to interact positively with children and teens. The program proposes to provide 912 youth with after-school and summer programming and reach another 1231 youth through the teaching of the Self-Reliance curriculum. Through these activities, members would build a supportive and caring environment for children to help them develop self-esteem, confidence, trust in an adult, and conflict management skills. They intend to increase the number of youth served by 20% each year. County Served: Kent �City Year Detroit City Year Detroit AmeriCorps City Year Detroit AmeriCorps, a pre-existing program, plans to engage AmeriCorps members to improve academic performance and attitudes toward learning though tutoring and in-class support. Members would deliver services to youth through school partnerships to support the academic success of students K-12. 75% of the students tutored in literacy would improve their academic performance by one grade level. Members would plan and initiate self-sustaining capacity building projects to help partner middle schools and high school to better achieve their mission. 75% of designated service partners would report an increased capacity to achieve their mission. Children and youth service by members, as well as community members, would serve their community. During the program year, 1,125 volunteers would serve 9,150 service hours in the Metro Detroit community. AmeriCorps members would engage middle school youth in the City Year's Young Heroes program to become more effective citizens, develop civic skills, and a greater understanding of people and situations beyond their personal world view. As a result ofthis activity, 75% ofthese youth would experience an increase in the aforementioned skills and capacities. Counties Served: Wayne and Oakland The Guidance Center (TGC) Downriver CARES (Community, Action, Resources, Enrichment, Service) The Downriver CARES Program proposes to provide programs for and in support of youth in the Downriver Detroit area, which will increase their social and emotional readiness to learn. Members will be placed in TGC or one of its program satellite sites. Some specific areas members will serve in include Family Resource Centers, Head Start programs serving low-income pre-schoolers, and family literacy programs. Members will increase the number of the 40 Developmental Assets necessary for proper social, emotional and intellectual development (as defined by the Search Institute) available to 1,250 youth. Members will also recruit and manage 480 community volunteers to provide 3,840 hours of service in support of the program's goals. In its first 18 months of operation, TGC's AmeriCorps Program hosted 17 family literacy events that promoted increased youth literacy to over 3,560 children and adults. Most of these events involved collaboration among the program, and local community organizations, businesses, and civic organizations. Members also provided individual support to various youth literacy programs. One of the programs greatest strengths is its ability to continually assess its progress, and incorporate feedback in order to assure it is addressing the most pertinent needs, in the most effective ways. Throughout its first two years the program continually assessed and analyzed community need and systems of service delivery, resulting in a necessary change in program focus to begin in the '03- ' 04 grant year. In order to improve literacy for these at-risk youth, the Downriver CARES Program will work towards increased youth literacy, by assuring youth are socially and emotionally ready to learn. County Served: Wayne �Ionia County Intermediate School District Ionia County AmeriCorps The Ionia County AmeriCorps Program proposes to provide students in a rural environment with activities in mentoring and service-learning. These activities will support the development of character through healthy youth development in the classroom and during non-school hours . Members will serve 1,000 middle and high school youth in 6 local school districts by coordinating programs that encourage adult and family involvement in supporting youth in their development and ability to achieve success. This will result in decreased student behavior problems and increased academic success among those served. Members will also engage 225 community volunteers providing 2,500 hours of service in support of program activities. In its first two years of programming, the program focused on increasing youth literacy and family focus on reading. Of the 754 students receiving reading support, 87% demonstrated a gain of at least one grade level in their reading ability. Of the 2,233 receiving one-on-one or group tutoring, 70% showed increases in vocabulary, comprehension, fluency, and word recognition. Additionally, members served over 3,000 youth and family members through community reading events or home-based literacy activities. Approaching the end of the program's second year, local community need assessments indicated that there had been systems put in place that could continue to support local youth literacy initiatives, and that other community needs were now taking priority. The program thus changed focus in order to address these new identified community needs, which were to support youth through service-learning and mentoring activities to promote healthy character development. Program activities are designed to result in decreased incidence of student behavior problems among those served, and increased academic performance. County Served: Ionia Michigan Department of Agriculture Michigan Groundwater Stewardship Program The Michigan Groundwater Stewardship Program, a pre-existing program, plans to engage AmeriCorps members in environmental education and outreach. Members would complete 12,000 site assessments (Home* A *Syst, Farm* A *Syst, etc.) with landowners or renters, resulting in 75% of those assessed increasing their knowledge of farm/household risks by at least 33%. This increase in knowledge would lead to at least one change in environmental practice per household during the program year. Members would recruit and train 750 community groundwater protection volunteers to conduct Home* A*Syst and other groundwater education events, in order for communities to provide groundwater education independent of the members. Members would present groundwater information to 15,000 middle school and high school students, resulting in an 80% increase in understanding of groundwater risks, groundwater issues and the water cycle amongst 75% of the students. Members would build/maintain groundwater stewardship teams in 40 counties to identify potential groundwater risks and developing strategies to minimize those risks.

Though member' s service, the Zoo would be able to expand enrollment �in Zoo Corps volunteer conservation expeditions, participate in local conservation projects with partners such a Southeast Michigan Greenways, expands their commitment to six existing DZI conservation initiatives, identify and develop new local conservation projects and expand the Detroit Zoo ' s on-site recycling program. County Served: Wayne Human Development Commission The Human Development Commission AmeriCorps Program The Human Development Commission proposes a new AmeriCorps Program to expand services for the frail elderly in Huron, Sanilac and Tuscola Counties in Michigan. Members would be in daily telephone contact with and provide monthly personal visits to clients in order to provide support and encouragement as well as increase their sense of security and community connection. Members would also provide minor home repairs and transportation as needed, and conduct outreach to assure potential clients are aware of service availability. Specific program goals include: 1) regularly reaching 100 residents with program services in year one, with that number increasing to 250 in year three, and 2) recruiting an additional218 community volunteers to support program services and activities. Counties Served: Huron, Sanilac, and Tuscola Mott Community College (MCC) The Access Opportunity AmeriCorps of Flint Program The Access Opportunity AmeriCorps of Flint Program, a new AmeriCorps applicant, plans to engage members in access to higher education and employment for individuals living in the Renewal Community ofFlint, Michigan. The AmeriCorps members would address the digital divide, help individuals to access higher education and increase opportunities for individuals to improve their job-readiness and employment skills. Member activities would be built around existing programs and initiatives that MCC has undertaken at three Community Technology Centers and the North Pointe Center, MCC ' s workforce development extension site. These activities are designed to strengthen the outcome of these efforts, extend their outreach capacity, and increase the participation of volunteers in those programs. Some of the impacts that the Access Opportunity ArneriCorps Program of Flint would have are: a 20% increase in the number of adult CTC users each year of the program; an incremental increase in the number of volunteers who support CTC users; 10% ofworkforce development and CTC program participants without GEDs and high school diplomas to enroll in higher education; and, prepare a minimum of 25 individuals each year for A+ computer repair certification. County Served: Genesee Relief After Violent Encounter (RAVE) RA VB AmeriCorps TheRAVE AmeriCorps Program is a new program proposing to facilitate a comprehensive community effort to reduce the incidence of and potential for youth violence in Clinton County. Members will develop and deliver training programs and community service activities, coordinate a community youth violence prevention resource library, serve as mentors and advisors to a variety of youth programs, and identify new linkages and partners from business, faith-based and other organizations to tighten the community safety net for all citizens. Specific goals of the program include: 1) recruit 450 community �volunteers in support of violence prevention activities, 2) create a community-owned youth violence prevention library by the end of year one, and 3) reach 750 youth and 500 adults through community and classroom presentations focusing on youth violence prevention. County Served: Clinton VFW National Home for Children MentorMore The MentorMore AmeriCorps Program proposes to provide mentoring and training to adult and youth residents of the VFW National Home for Children in Eaton County. Services to be delivered include mentoring of youth ages 6-18, service-learning opportunities for youth and families, individualized support for parents striving to achieve greater confidence and self-sufficiency, and training youth to resolve problems and respond to crisis in a calm and peaceful fashion. In its first year, the program helped 30 families find affordable housing in the area, and worked with those families to assure they had the budgeting and other skills necessary to manage their home. The program also mentored children residing at the VFW Home, provided 26 parents and adolescents with support in finding employment or acquiring employment related skills, and engaged 151 people in service-learning projects that positively impacted 900 local residents. County Served: Eaton Young Detroit Builders Young Detroit Builders AmeriCorps Young Detroit Builders AmeriCorps, a pre-existing program, plans to engage AmeriCorps members to build and maintain over 30 wheelchair ramps for disabled people who might not otherwise have access to the means to have the ramps built for them. Members would make housing adaptations to 40 low-income households including disabled persons and seniors. In order to strengthen local communities, members would partner with the Great Lakes Center for Independent Living to provide disability awareness programs to at least 200 elementary school students in 4 schools. As well, members would recruit at least 140 volunteers to assist in community service projects focused on target neighborhoods.

In April the MCSC submitted a new three-year application to the Corporation for National and CommW1ity Service for Learn and Serve-community funds for 2003- 2006. We were notified in August that our application was not approved for funding. Fortunately, we had approximately $100,000 of W1Spent grant funds from the 2002-03 program year. Therefore we were able to offer the existing 11grantees $10,000 renewal grants that focused on sustainability. Nine grantees submitted renewal applications on August 29, 2003 requesting a total of $165 ,251. The applications were reviewed by the MCSC staff on September 4, 2003 . The MCSC staff makes the follow recommendations: The staff recommends renewal funding at the requested amount for the following applicants: Big Brothers Big Sisters ofNorthwestern Michigan Funding Requested $10,000 Funding Recommended $10,000 Boys and Girls Club of Greater Holland $10,011 $10,000 Legal Applicant �Capital Area United Way $10,000 $10,000 Catholic Family Services $10,000 $10,000 Grand Ledge Alliance for Quality Education $10,000 $10,000 Gwinn Area Community Schools $10,000 $10,000 Washtenaw County Chapter American Red Cross $10,000 $10,000 Winn Area Activity Center $10,000 $10,000 Total $80,011 $80,000 The staff does not recommend renewal funding at the requested amount for the following applicants: Legal Applicant Portage Senior Center* Funding Requested $9,963 Funding Recommended $0 *Staff did not recommend this application for funding because the application did not meet the grant criteria.

We will be engaging Michigan State University 4-H Extension in a conversation about how they could help support and expand the broader community-based service-learning field . Funding recommendations for the remaining $20,000 will be made at the December board meeting. �2003-04 Learn and Serve - Michigan CBO Program Descriptions Big Brothers Big Sisters of Northwestern Michigan Big Brothers Big Sisters of Northwestern Michigan (BBBS) will recruit continue to work with high school students who will serve as community-based mentors to help at-risk children achieve their goals.

Please feel free to share it with Chandra (sp?) and Meg for feedback. I would suggest the following message to commissioners (I don't think there is any reason to send them the agenda itself): Dear Commissioners : Kyle and I are looking forward to our upcoming retreat on September 1Oth and 11th. It will give us a wonderful , concentrated opportunity to get to know each other better, and particularly to understand our commitments to and hopes for the work of the Commission. Kyle and his staff (I have asked him to invite a good "slice" to join us) will share their thoughts on the successes of the past year and the challenges ahead. We will do some fundamental work around our shared vision , the mission of the Commission , and the value that we add as Comm issioners and as a Commission. To that end , I ask you to prepare by giving some thought as to what it is we add as a group and what you think you best add as an individual Commissioner. I look forward to an enjoyable and lively time together. Plepse let me know if you have any particular hopes , concerns , or thoughts about the upcoming retreat. See you in September. Sil}cerely, Dan Page 1 � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

To clarify our vision 2. To clarify the mission of both the organization and the commission Becoming very clear about the "value-added" that we bring as commission and commissioners 3. Clarify the values that will be important to us as we work together 4.

Why am I here? What' s been my experience with volunteering? ~ ~ Year-in-review- from standpoint of staff and commissioners and Kyle: accomplishments, surprises and setbacks - relative to declared goals Parking lot: missed opportunities, could have done better' s ~ ~ Why are we here? What's our over-arching vision? To put it differently: when our children become commissioners on the MCSC in 20 years, how will they find the State of Michigan as relates to community service? What, specifically is our mission: In order to achieve this splendid vision, what exactly is our "product" and who is our "consumer"? What major goals would follow from this vision/mission? Input from: DGM, the Governor' s perspective. Kyle, the staff's perspective Top 5 goals (by program area?) for next 3 years. Measurable results for each. Commission' s reactionsHow do we add value as commission/commissioners? What should our top 5 goals be for the coming year- as a group? How will we know if we have achieved our goals? What am I committed to as a commissioner? How will I measure my own effectiveness? �~ L:J How is Mentor Michigan incorporated in what we do day-to-day? What are the key strategies that Kyle wants us to hear about, give feedback or counsel on in pursuit of the mission? �Elizabeth Bunn? Shandra: better understanding of strengths of commissioners, get to know each other better, deep dive in most important issues e.g., Americorps, how are we effective Meg: renewed commitment to volunteerism, better credit for commission, having commissioners promote the commission so that we are more effective with legislators. Assess how well we are known by stakeholders. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

We're excited Dan will actively lead us through the retreat and look forward to a very informative, but relaxing time. There have been a lot of changes this year so this will be a time for getting to know each other better. Lunch will begin at 11:30 am and the meeting of the Michigan Community Service Commission (MCSC) will begin at 12:00 pm. Standing committee reports and staff approvals will be addressed as the first agenda items. The meeting will then recess to begin the retreat. The next day, after our retreat work is completed, the MCSC meeting will be reconvened to take up any recommendations resulting from our retreat. The retreat agenda will be a little different this year. We're going to focus on clarifying the mission of both the organization and the commissioners, clarify the values that will be important to us as we work together, and discuss the value we bring as an organization. The MCSC staff will also be joining us to share accomplishments from the past year. Our second day will focus on Mentor Michigan and how it will be incorporated into the mission of the MCSC.

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 FROM: Kyle Caldwell, Executive Director DATE: September 8, 2003 RE: Michigan's Volunteer Investment Grants Recommendations Enclosed you will find a letter addressed to me from the Volunteer Centers of Michigan requesting modifications to the Michigan's Volunteer Investment Grants program. Specifically, they are requesting modification of the grant award sizes the narrowing of the eligibility requirements to include only volunteer centers that serve a specific geographic area or community and that operate under a set of national core competencies. After careful consideration and thorough review of the past grant procedures and trends, the staff recommends the following: 1. The MCSC lower the grant amounts from a range of $25,000 to $100,000 to $20,000 $50,000. Given the massive reduction in state funding in 2003 (only $280,100 available- a $500,000 cut), this range allows us to continue funding a large number of programs without jeopardizing the grantee's ability to aggressively build an agency endowment. We have considered the issue of lowering the range before and have been reluctant to do so in fear of reducing its impact. Ultimately, we hope that agencies will obtain enough earnings to support staff, programs, scholarships and other valuable volunteer initiatives. We know that will not be possible by making smaller contributions. 2. The goal of this program and ofthe Michigan Community Service Commission is to be as inclusive as possible with all of our grant making while maintaining the highest quality programs. Similarly, we believe that these programs should enhance and expand the volunteer infrastructure in the state. We recommend, therefore, that the current eligibility requirements remain. J v~ ~ �C c ·. Pic:_ A-s- VOLUNTEER CENTERS OF MICHIG•N 4us 2 B zooJ August 28, 2003 Mr. Kyle Caldwell Executive Director Michigan Community Service Commission 1048 Pierpont, Suite 4 Lansing, MI 48911 Dear Kyle: At the Volunteer Centers of Michigan (VCM) meeting on August 21, 2003, VCM member Directors discussed the recent decrease in State of Michigan funding to the Michigan's Volunteer Investment Grant program (VIG). They expressed great appreciation for the opportunity to participate since 1998 in this model endowment award program; they also voiced concern over the considerable reduction in dollars now available to participants. Volunteer Centers in Michigan are usually small - most have budgets ofless than $100,000, with limited opportunities for funding beyond local contributions. The VIG endowment building program has been the only government program that has focused on volunteer centers as the primary vehicle for increasing capacity and sustainability of the community volunteer infrastructure. Over the past six years, twenty-eight Volunteer Centers have participated in the VIG grant. They have shown their commitment to building sustainability by developing community partnerships, and by increasing volunteerism among all demographic segments of their communities. With the limited amount of funding currently in the VIG grant ($280, 100), Volunteer Centers are requesting that the Commission consider the following changes to the program structure: • Lower the minimum and maximum amounts per grant. This would allow a larger number of community volunteer resource centers to participate in the process. • Limit funding to community volunteer centers that serve and involve an entire community, (e.g. , a geographic area such as a city or county), and operate under a set of national core competencies, rather than those organizations that promote volunteerism among only a selected group of people. Rationale for this recommendation 1. There is a continued need for Volunteer Centers to strengthen local volunteer infrastructure, especially in light of the many opportunities being proposed by the State of Michigan to promote mentoring, youth community service, and Citizen Corps involvement in local communities throughout Michigan. Volunteer Centers are eager to build their capacity to participate in these important initiatives. 2. In 2000 , award eligibility was expanded to a larger pool of applicants beyond the community volunteer centers, because funds were not being fully expended. However, in 2000, a university research survey established that it was in the years when awardees were required to increase their match beyond the 1: 1 level that applications declined. The subsequent change to a consistent 1: 1 match attracted a higher number of applications and competition, which mitigated the perceived need to widen the applicant pool. With a more achievable 1048 Pierpont, Suite 3, Lansing, Michigan 48911-5976 Phone: (517) 492-2430 • Fax: (517) 492-2444 • Email: tymowicz@mivolunteers.org Toll Free: 1-888-393-4737 (Michigan only) • www.mivolunteers.org �standard for the match, it has become clear that the community-based volunteer resource centers are the right target group for the expected outcomes of the VIG grant. Working to get a larger group involved beyond Volunteer Centers is not necessary; n0r does it achieve the desired result of strengthening the larger community's infrastructure. While we are concerned about the decrease in funding for Michigan's Volunteer Investment Grant, we are committed to the value ofthe program. This was substantiated by the amount of advocacy VCM and its member Volunteer Centers did to educate legislators on the importance of maintaining the full grant appropriation, as was recommended by Governor Granholm's FY04 budget. Our request for the Commission's review is fueled by our determination to strengthen our collaborative work in Michigan's communities and to insure that volunteerism has continued support well into the future. Thank you, Kyle, for the professionalism with which you and the MCSC staff have administered the MVIG program. The accompanying training and technical assistance you have provided to grant recipients has also been very instrumental in increasing our fundraising skills. And we would be remiss if we did not take this opportunity to specifically thank Angelia Salas for her steady support and guidance in her role as MVIG program development coordinator. If either of us can further clarify this request, please call.

These three programs - Foster Grandparent Program, Retired & Senior Volunteer Program, and Senior Companion Program - work in strong collaborative relationships with local schools, nonprofit service organizations, and public agencies to enhance and expand the quality of services provided to Michigan communities. Senior Volunteers find benefits to their own mental and physical health in providing assistance and service to others. Foster Grandparents are low-income older persons who spend significant hours every week providing personal attention and special help to children in schools, hospitals, juvenile detention facilities, day care centers, and private homes. The Foster Grandparent Program works in a collaborative relationship with schools, nonprofit organizations, and public agencies to address the needs of abused and neglected children, troubled teens, premature infants, and children with physical disabilities. A large percentage of Grandparents statewide work in elementary schools to help children succeed academically. The Foster Grandparent Program provides a great "two-forone" value to Michigan, serving two vulnerable populations: providing benefits to the lowincome Grandparents and benefits to the children they serve. Senior Companions are low-income older adults who spend significant hours every week providing personal attention and assistance to adults with temporary or permanent disabilities or the thousands of frail or homebound seniors who need help completing everyday tasks so they can remain independent in their own homes. The Senior Companion Program serves two vulnerable populations at once: providing benefits to the low-income Companions themselves and benefits to the adults who receive service from the Companions . Companions assist with grocery shopping, transportation to medical appointments, and provide socialization and companionship for many other older adults with Alzheimer's disease, mental illness, developmental disabilities or other conditions which can make them isolated from the community. By providing short periods of respite for family caregivers, Senior Companions help these caregivers to continue their home care situation and avoid costly institutionalization of their loved ones. The Retired & Senior Volunteer Program mobilizes men and women over the age 55 or older to serve community needs, stay active, and explore new interests. RSVP works in a collaborative relationship with schools, nonprofit organizations, and public agencies to enhance and expand the services they provide. RSVP is a great "two-for-one" value to Michigan, providing benefits to the individuals and organizations served by RSVP and benefits to the RSVP members themselves. About 50% of Michigan's RSVP volunteers serve the needs of older adults in their homes, communities, or nursing homes . RSVP volunteers also help children learn to read, help test drinking water for contaminants, provide transportation to medical appointments for hundreds of other seniors throughout Michigan, serve as mentors for young people, teach English to immigrants, and lend their skills to a wide variety of social service agencies delivering important community services. Everyone wins when Senior Volunteers deliver service to Michigan communities.

Welcome and Introduction- Chairperson Mulhern The meeting was called to order at 12 :25 p.m. by Chairperson Mulhern. Chairperson Mulhern welcomed everyone to the meeting and recognized Russ Mawby for inviting us to Brook Lodge. He then asked everyone to take a moment of silence in remembrance of 9/11. Chairperson Mulhern asked everyone to introduce themselves. Commissioner Mawby gave background on Brook Lodge. Chairperson Mulhern gave opening remarks and discussed "adaptive leadership" and the learning experience over the next two days. He also went over the agenda of the board retreat. II. Review & Approval of May 20,2003 Minutes- Chairperson Mulhern Chairperson Mulhern asked for any comments to the minutes from the May 20, 2003, meeting. No changes noted. Chairperson Mulhern asked for a motion to approve the minutes. Commissioner Mawby moved to approve the May 20, 2003, minutes. Commissioner O'Day seconded the motion to approve the minutes. The motion passed unanimously. III. Standing Committee Reports - Chairperson Mulhern A. Executive Committee Report - Chairperson Mulhern 1. Review Executive Committee Actions of June 23, 2003 - Kyle Caldwell Kyle Caldwell discussed the minutes of the June 23, 2003 Executive Committee Meeting. Mr. Caldwell gave an overview ofthe AmetiCorps cuts that Michigan received for this upcoming year. Due to the timing of the grantmaking process not aligning with the MCSC meetings, the Commission has adopted a policy of approving through the Executive Committee staff recommendations of funding and then going to the full body at the next Commission meeting for full board approval. The June 23, 2003 memo outlines that the Executive Committee approved the staff recommendations for the AmeriCorps Formula Application Process. Also attached is a June 19, 2003, memo from Paula Kaiser outlining 2 �• background of the application process and the staff reconunendations regarding AmeriCorps funding for this year. The flrst recommendation outlines applicants that should be funded at the reduced recommended amotmt. The second recommendation outlines the applicants that should receive additional consideration if additional member slots and funds become available. The Executive Committee approved the recommendations so the full body needs to adopt those reconm1endations. Chairperson Mulhern asked if any Commissioners had questions on the application process and staff recommendations. Commissioner Watkins asked how the university programs work and if additional funding becan1e available would they be funded in a priority order. Mr. Caldwell explained that the universities do not have identical community volunteer programs. In most cases, they work with the local schools to use their efforts to tutor. In the case of the Regents of the University of Michigan, they work with a number of organizations and the university serves as a host organization to detail issues that align to their school of social work. They have part-time members working in community organizations. There is not a university model used as each one does something different. He also explained that the list was not in a priority order. Sam Singh asked what the impact would be at the local level due to the program cuts. Mr. Caldwell gave a brief overview of the impacts of the cuts. There were 696 members last year and there will be 300 this year. The programs that are being recommended are all looking at anywhere from 50-60% less resources to do their job. You can't describe that in terms to make it real. Michael Freeman explained the changes that City Year had to make. They have exercised a lot of creativity to maintain their infrastructure. He noted that it is important to maintain the programs so that if funds are restored, they're able to restore their programming. City Year has looked at creating a model similar to AmeriCorps where they bring people on to do national service but it's not AmeriCorps. They have created this concept of what they want to do in the field . To keep going they'll have to go to their corporate sponsors for additional funds to put these efforts into place. Most programs are looking at creative ways to maintain the continuum of service. Kimberlee Andrews discussed how the programs are keeping their infrastructure in place. 3 �Michael Freeman shared that this is the fust time the programs haven ' t gotten everything they asked for. In the past the programs have been funded at the levels they requested. Tllis year they have to evaluate what their essential and specific needs are. Commissioner Watkins suggested that in the future the focus should be on No Child Left Behind and the high priority schools. The MCSC may want to take another filter to see if some of these schools can be targeted. He also mentioned that the MCSC should find a way to capture some of the human impact stories and as a commission to look for ways to publicize the dramatic impact. It's not just a reduction in number, there are real human impact behind statistics that are presented. Chairperson Mulhern asked for a motion to approve the staff recommendations for the 2003 AmeriCorps Formula funding. Commissioner Snlith motioned to approve the recommendations, Commissioner Watkins seconded the motion. The motion passed unanimously. 2. Review Executive Committee Actions of August 15, 2003- Kyle Caldwell Kyle Caldwell discussed the memo dated August 25, 2003 , which explains that the Executive Committee approved the Learn & Serve School Based grants. This is significant for a couple of reasons. The grant making policies have been changed based on the Learn & Serve working committee of Commissioners. The MCSC took district size and used that as a criteria to balance the amounts of the grants and then crosssectioned that with three types of grants: planning grants, implementation grants, and institutionalization grants. The memo outlined the recommendations from the staff for each ofthe grants. The Executive Committee has reviewed the recommendations and approved them. As is the policy, it goes before the full Commission for their approval. Commissioner Watkins asked that we take another look at the tools and impact on the high priority schools. Also, what can be done to make sure there is development past the schools. Are the rich getting richer or are the schools that have a really good grant writer tending to get funded a little more. Are there things that can be done around this process to make sure we are developing that capacity for districts and communities that need more. Kyle Caldwell explained that due to the federal guidelines, the MCSC had to approve these grants before the A YP schools were identified. The MCSC will now go back through and target those schools and work with the principals of the high priority schools to get them tied in with this. 4 �Staff is also going to work to get service learning in general as a tool, not as an add-on. Commissioner Lenz mentioned that she doesn't think that the message of service-learning is getting out to the schools and that we need to work harder at getting the message out there on what service-learning is and how a school district can benefit from it. Paula Kaiser explained that there is some unspent school-based money that needs to be used between now and August 2004 or we lose it. One of the things the MCSC is exploring is a partnership with some of the intermediate school districts to do just what Commissioner Lenz is talking about because many of them are working with these schools on a whole host of things. MCSC staff has had conversations with some ISD's to discuss the concept of how the MCSC can support schools and how can they help us get service-learning and develop infrastructure to support service learning throughout the state. The ISD's were receptive of the concept. The MCSC staff can focus on the priority schools to help them develop some infrastructure for service learning. Chairperson Mulhern asked for a motion to approved the staff recommendations for the Learn & Serve School Based grants. Commissioner Mawby motioned to approve and Comrnmissioner Watkins seconded the motion. Commissioner Smith abstained from voting. All other Commissioners were in favor and the motion passed. B. Outreach and Communications Committee - Commissioner O'Day Commissioner O'Day mentioned that much of their report will be discussed later (AmeriCorps and Mentor Michigan). The Governor's Service Awards will be given out at the Mentor Michigan Summits. Paula Kaiser went over some tentative dates of the summits but stated that several of the dates have not been confirn1ed. IV. Executive Director's Report- Kyle Caldwell A. Learn and Serve-Michigan Community Based Funding Recommendations Kyle Caldwell discussed the memo from Paula Kaiser dated September 8, 2003, outlining the staff recommendations for Learn and Serve-Michigan Community Based funding. He explained that these grants focus on nonprofit organizations who work on service-learning with school age populations. The descriptions of the staff recommendations along with descriptions of the programs were included in the memo. Staff recommended renewal funding at the requested amount for Big Brothers Big Sisters of Northwestern Michigan, Boys and Girls Club of Greater Holland, Capital Area United Way, Catholic Family Services, Grand 5 �Ledge Alliance for Quality Education, Gwinn Area Cornnmnity Schools, Washtenaw County Chapter American Red Cross, and Winn Area Activity Center. The only program not recommended for renewal funding was Portage Senior Center. Chairperson Mulhern asked for a motion to approve the Learn and ServeMichigan Community Based funding staff recommendations. Commissioner O'Day made a motion to approve the staff recommendations, Commissioner Pickard seconded the motion. The motion passed unanimously. B. Volunteer Investment Grants Recommended Changes Kyle Caldwell explained that the MCSC received a letter from the Volunteer Centers of Michigan dated August 28, 2003, asking us to reconsider some of the ways VUIG grants are operated. Specifically they are requesting modification of the grant award sizes and the narrowing of the requirements of the volunteer centers that serve a specific geographic area or community and that operate under a set of national core competencies. The staff has looked at past grant procedures and trends. This year the MCSC went from $780,000 down to $280,000 funds available. The staff is recommending lowering the grant amounts from a range of $25,000-$100,000 down to $20,000-$50,000 which will maintain the minimum of building the endowment at a significant level but also spread out the an1ount to provide more resources across the state should larger applications come in. The second piece is since the goal across the board for the program is to be as inclusive as possible with all of the grant making, maintain the highest quality of programs, and that these grants should enhance and expand the volunteer infrastructure in the state, the staff is recommending not narrowing the availability and leaving it open for all those organizations that qualify. Chairperson Mulhern asked Judy Tymowicz for clarification and rationale purpose for the second recommendation. Judy Tymowicz stated that there were two points. One is historical reason for changing and widening the number of organizations that would be eligible for the grant. The other is the needs of the volunteer centers in how they operate and what the resources are that's available to them. Because the VIG has been reduced by over 70%, there's fewer resources. This has been the only real reliable resource from either the state or national level that volunteer centers have been eligible for. There have not been funds for them on a regular basis that they can count on. They all are funded locally and they have all been experiencing problems in survivorship. So the resource level they have is very difficult. When the grant was started the volunteer centers had been the primary recipient and applicants for the grants. During the course of the first few years the match could be one-to-one, then another year it would be two-toone. They would have to give twice as much to the endowment in order to get the grant. If they were applying for a $25,000 VIG grant, they would have to put $50,000 into the endowment to get that. The volunteer centers are incapable of doing that. Most of them have under $100,000 in income and most of them have 6 �no benefits at all for their staff. At that level, they couldn't do it and they weren't applying so the money was not being given out completely. That is one of the reasons the Volunteer Centers asked that there be a change to a one-to-one match every year. During that process there was a study being done to fmd out why people were not applying for the grants and through the course of that transition more groups were added to the applicant pot. When it became consistently a oneto-one match, volunteer centers responded overwhelming and it was clear that was the only reason we had them. The Volunteer Centers argument is that the applicant pool didn't need to be expanded in order for the money to be applied for. It wasn't that they didn't want the money or couldn't use it, it was beyond their reach at the time. The Volunteer Centers are asking with the lower amount of money available to go back to the original pool so that it is not so competitive for such a small amount. Chairperson Mulhern asked who would be added to the pool and who would be excluded. Kyle Caldwell explained that with the proposal there would be two areas that would be in the applicant pool. Those are organizations that have agreed to take on the criteria of the grant which would be the volunteer resource for their communities. The one piece that Judy is describing is accurate but that was not the MCSC's rationale as far as expanding the applicant pool. The MCSC wanted to put as much out in the field as possible. One of the other areas of focus was trying to get students involved in volunteerism and the community involved. So the expansion wasn't just about resources, it was about a wider mission for all of the resources. The original grant criteria never changed to say that now higher education is eligible. They were always eligible. Paula Kaiser stated that it may appear that the criteria did change. Through conversions with the Michigan Campus Compact, universities weren't specifically listed as an eligible applicant so it was confusing to them on whether or not they were eligible. After conversations with them they requested the MCSC include them with the other groups such as volunteer centers so that when the application guidelines were available and came across the desk of someone in a higher education institution, it was very clear to them that they were eligible. So that may have appeared as a change to who was eligible but it never specifically listed them in the past. Judy Tymowicz stated that their concern was not to exclude other organizations because there is recognition of the importance of that partnership within the community. The volunteer centers are focused on the community itself as the primary recipient of those services and that really needs to be protected at a time when the infrastructure is crumbling. Chairperson Mulhern asked John Lore to explain the ConnectMichigan Alliance and it's makeup with the organizations that fall under their umbrella. John explained that each of the organizations advocate for their constituencies. 7 �Chairperson Mulhern asked for a motion to support the staff recommendations of lowering the VIG grant amount from $25,000-$100,000 down to $20,000-$50,000 but leaving the eligibility criteria the same. Commissioner Watkins made a motion to support the staff recommendations and Commissioner Seese seconded the motion. The motion passed unanimously. The meeting adjourned at 1:45pm for the MCSC retreat. The meeting was reconvened at 11 :45 am on Friday, September 12, 2003. V. New business - Chairperson Dan Mulhern A. Report Out Chairperson Mulhern mentioned that there were tremendous exercises during the retreat on Mentor Michigan. It was decided that an additional summit will be scheduled in Northern Michigan. Commissioner Mawby asked what the long-term vision of Mentor Michigan as related to the Commission will be. Are we going to be the long-term operator of Mentor Michigan or do we envision that in some time period this would be spun off as a satellite initiative. Also, is Mentor Michigan protected, is the name registered so that when we move forward, we have the franchise and standards. Otherwise anyone can use the te1m Mentor Michigan. We also need to look at funding and sustainability, and should Mentor Michigan become a 501C3 organization. That's a question that should be answered in the vision. This is a new venture for the MCSC. Usually the idea comes to us funded. This all needs to be part of a business plan. We do need to have a vision of what we hope this will become. Kyle Caldwell asked that we put under staff responsibility to come back at the December meeting with a rough outline of a business plan. Commissioner Smith mentioned that we need to establish assignments for the Commissioners. Chairperson Mulhern asked that each of the Commissioners communicate with Kyle in the next month with what it is they think they can contribute and be held accountable for. He asked ifthere are standing committees already established. Kyle Caldwell explained that there are working standing committees and that a Mentor Michigan committee needed to be added. Commissioner Collier asked for further discussion on the Volunteer Investment Grants. He would like to take another look at the grants. If we 're going to go to the private sector and ask for support for Mentor Michigan, and we all recognize that the State doesn't have a whole lot of dollars and does have other resources to apply, there is great flexibility in the Volunteer Investment Grants. He thinks it would be helpful if a portion of those resources could somehow be tied to the 8 �, Volunteer Centers and Mentor Michigan in such a way that we could say there is a fmancial commitment there on behalf of the Commission and the state. He thinks it would be helpful as the business plan moves forward if we could make that relationship work. The budget is $280,000 for the Volunteer Investment Grants and is fairly flexible in terms of the way it is earmarked by the state. He is not suggesting that the whole amount go to Mentor Michigan but it would seem that it would make sense to have a chunk of it to have a relationship between the Volunteer Centers and Mentor Michigan. Paula Kaiser mentioned that when programs apply for the funds they have to propose two community wide service projects and that has always been a requirement. One of the things that has been discussed is to give priority funding to those that propose projects that support mentoring in some way. There is a lot of flexibility in terms in how they define those community service projects. In some cases it has been community wide training on a specific issue, some cases it has been Make a Difference Day. But the MCSC is already thinking about incorporating that as a way of leverage to move the Mentor Michigan agenda forward. She asked Commissioner Collier if he thought that would be enough. Commissioner Collier didn't think it was enough. He would be inclined to be more direct. The MCSC has a strategic opportunity in terms in how that appropriation can be used. Chairperson Mulhern said that the motion is to look at the Volunteer Investment Grants and see if they can be used to leverage service for mentors and also to leverage other funds (public or private) that would be used for mentoring. Kyle Caldwell clarified that Commissioner Collier would like the MCSC to use the Volunteer Investment Grants to leverage the resources to implement Mentor Michigan. Commissioner Collier thinks that this is what is needed to take a position on so that the agenda can move forward. Commissioner Collier made the motion to amend the guidelines to put in place a direct relationship between Mentor Michigan and the use of the Volunteer Investment Grants. Commissioner Aldridge Eason supported the motion. Chairperson Mulhern asked for discussion. Commissioner Lenz asked if all of the money would be used to support Mentor Michigan or is it an option that they may use some of the money in that way. Commissioner Collier suggested that there shouldn't be an option but that there should be a direct relationship to the funds available to the Volunteer Investment Grants and Mentor Michigan. Not necessarily the whole thing, but a relationship that will help leverage other resources. Kyle Caldwell clarified that there is not a statutory requirement on the use of the funds. It is a line-item within the budget. It is an endowment leveraging program. 9 �, The operational side can be directed towards mentoring initiatives that support Mentor Michigan. How they choose to raise the match and endow will not change, it will still be an endowment that supports the Volunteer Center. It' s the operational side with the state dollars that provides the flexibility. There is no statute that forces the MCSC to direct that money one way or another. Paula Kaiser said that what the MCSC could do is on a more direct way specify if they request $25,000, they have to raise $25,000 to put in an endowment, the $25,000 the MCSC gives them has to support mentoring in their community in some way. The MCSC can give them some suggested ideas. Al Swain asked who or how it will be decided whether it is a portion of the VIG or all. Kyle Caldwell said that the way the motion is currently crafted, the activity side of the grant will require there be a mentoring initiative. So all the funding will be directed at mentoring. It will not change the integrity of the progran1 because they willl still have to provide a match that goes into the endowment to support the volunteer center. Commissioner Lenz said that she feels that it is changing the integrity of the program. "It's not that I don't support mentoring, but when we decided to promote this program it was to help the local communities build support for volLmteerism. How they choose to do that is up to them and I don't like the idea that now that we have this new initiative we're going to give priority to this particular area. I don't think that's right and I do think it changes the look of this program." The motion was approved by nine Commissioners, with four Commissioners opposed. (Lenz, Roth, Macon, Newport) The motion carries. VI. Public Comment - Chairperson Dan Mulhern Chairperson Mulhern spoke to the issue of membership. The MCSC has a new Commissioner, Elizabeth Burm, who participated in the retreat on Thursday. There are two Commissioners, Karen Eason Aldridge and Matt Wesaw, whose terms have expired. Karen will continue to work with the MCSC through initiatives with the Governor's Office. Pam Faris will fill the second spot. She is the Lt. Governor's spouse and is an advocate of service and Mentor Michigan. Chairperson Mulhern also mentioned that there are a couple of other positions that will be up and the MCSC is looking at what is needed and the statutory requirements. Here stated that he hopes that anyone that cycles off will stay involved with the Commission. He asked if there were areas we should be thinking about? Commissioner Benson mentioned someone in the hierarchy of the church - an official that could carry the message back to the church. Joclyn Yanda suggested a Hispanic representative. 10 �, Commissioner Swain suggested a well-placed media representative. Commissioner Mawby suggested a higher education representative (University President) Commissioner Swain mentioned the National Youth with Disabilities Mentoring Day and invited Commissioners to participate. VII. Adjourn - Chairperson Mulhern Chairperson Mulhern asked for a motion to adjourn. Commissioner Mawby moved to adjourn the meeting. Commissioner Seese seconded the motion. The meeting was adjourned at 12:15 pm. 11 � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

The performance review was sent out to the Commissioners in February and there was response from 21 of 25 Commissioners. With a scoring system of 1 being excellent, 5 being unsatisfactory, all of the rankings in the categories for Kyle were 1's, which is extraordinary. In summary, Kyle was given excellent ratings from the Commissioners in all ofthe categories of the survey. He is viewed as an effective manager and leader with good visionary skills, excellent communications practice, and a strong commitment to the MCSC and to the principles of volunteerism and service. Copies of the report will go to the Executive Committee and in Kyle's personnel file. D.

Report ofMCSC Designees to the ConnectMichigan Alliance Board of Trustees Commissioner Mawby 1. Update on the ConnectMichigan Alliance Endowment Campaign Chairperson Mawby asked John Lore to give the Connect Michigan Alliance (CMA) update. He explained that CMA is excited to work with MCSC and Mentor Michigan and is looking forward to working with Dan Mulhern. He also explained that there are 27 Communities ofPromise working to make sure that Volunteer Centers of Michigan and Michigan Campus Compact are working closely with the Communities of Promise. He met with Virgil Carr to design a way to bring Detroit /SE Michigan and outstate Michigan together. CMA has designed a plan to have a person from Virgil's staffbe involved with the CMA staff in Lansing and are working with the Kresge Foundation to have a presence in Detroit. Lore also explained that they are within $600,000 of their $20 million fundraising goal. CMA has a commitment from Dottie Johnson and Bill Richardson to approach private, independent foundations that have not contributed so far. CMA made a formal request with the Kresge Foundation for a deadline extension from June 1, 2003 to December 31, 2003, for the deadline match. CMA feels strongly that the extension will be allowed due to the administration change and the economy. Chairperson Mawby called for a break to attend the Grantmakers/Grantseekers Luncheon at the Lansing Center. Chairperson Mawby asked for a motion to recess. Commissioner O'Day motioned to recess for lunch, Commissioner Garnepudi seconded the motion. The motion passed unanimously and the Commissioners recessed for lunch at 11 :40 am. The meeting reconvened at 1:50pm. The new chairperson, Dan Mulhern, gave welcome remarks and asked Kyle Caldwell to give the Executive Director's Report. IV. Executive Director's Report- Kyle Caldwell A. AmeriCorps 1. Guest Speakers Lenny Compton and Belinda Weber Kyle Caldwell introduced AmeriCorps members as guest speakers Lenny Compton and Belinda Weber shared their experiences with AmeriCorps. Lenny Compton explained that he finished with AmeriCorps Oakland in early January. Their program serves Pontiac and has 40 members in 7 sites. He because involved in AmeriCorps through a friend. Lenny served 5 �parti-time (900 hours) in two years and felt that the program was invaluable. He felt that with AmeriCorps you are able to make an impression. Lenny works at PATH which is a homeless shelter for women and the AmeriCorps members work with the children. They've been able to teach about educational and environmental issues. Lenny also discussed his concern that AmeriCorps members are not able to solicit support for AmeriCorps and felt that if things are not done financially, that a great program like this will dissolve. Belinda Weber explained that she works at Success by Six in Branch County (Coldwater area) and they have several agencies under their umbrella, one being AmeriCorps. Their goal is that every child prenatal to age 6 will be healthy and ready to learn. There is a high-risk of teenage pregnancies in their area. Belinda is working with teenage moms at an alternative high school to guide them toward opportunities that are available to them to help keep them in school. They conduct home visits to the families weekly and biweekly, conduct playgroups which provides child development and parent educational activities, and community awareness activities. Belinda is also working in her community to increase awareness about the AmeriCorps programs. Chairperson Mawby asked Lenny Compton whether mentoring would be important to the children he works with at PATH. Lenny explained that mentoring would be very important to these children as many of them come from unstable households and they need someone with stability. He also shared his experience with mentoring two boys that he calls his "brothers" and the successes they have accomplished due to their relationship with Lenny. Both Lenny and Belinda explained they became involved with volunteering as children. Commissioner Kwak asked for the guidelines for "lobbying" or contacting policy makers regarding AmeriCorps. Kyle Caldwell explained that AmeriCorps members are not allowed to lobby or to be involved with fundraising. In addition there is a certain unwritten law that AmeriCorps members should not be in the position of educating or appearing to lobby. As a citizen outside of the program, Lenny is empowered to do whatever he wants in the name of AmeriCorps. Belinda is constrained, though, because she is currently an active member. What the MCSC tries to do is to put policy makers in front of people who are serving. Commissioners can do whatever they want, they can lobby, they can tell policy makers exactly what is needed and use stories like Lenny's and Belinda's as examples ofhow AmeriCorps works. 6 �Carol Ann Ketelsen, Director ofthe Oakland University AmeriCorps Program, explained that they utilize Lenny and other former members to help with fundraising. But the Program Directors don't have much experience in fundraising. The former members have ideas for golf outings, etc., but the program directors cannot plan them alone, and they cannot use current members. Their program is one of the older programs so they are at the 100% funding level where they are suppose to meet everything but their member support costs on their own. The other challenge they have is that Oakland University has been a major funder in their program, but like everyone, they are going through cuts and so they have to find the money somewhere else. AmeriCorps Oakland has seven sites. Their members work in teams in schools, churches and community centers. Commissioner O'Day pointed out that Lenny made a good point about people viewing AmeriCorps as a successful program. 2. Signature Service Project Kyle Caldwell made a special invitation to the Commissioners to participate in the Signature Service Project on June 20-21 and explained the project would consist of working with Habitat for Humanity to build four houses and to landscape homes and parks in the neighborhood. 3. National Outlook Kyle Caldwell explained that the MCSC has submitted a competitive application that was one of $240 million in requests that went forward to the Corporation with $50 million available and awaiting notification. For those that are new Mr. Caldwell explained the state AmeriCorps funding process. First we submit our competitive applications, and whatever is not accepted, we re-strategize and look at what we want to put into our formula applications for funding. The enrollment crisis at the national level is not over. We continue to struggle with the budget. Mr. Caldwell explained the shortfall in the educational award trust which started at $100 million, another $64 million was added due to accounting errors. What is holding everything up now is that the President had offered some relief, but now that is being held up because the accountants and the auditors can't agree on what process is being used to count education awards. In the fall we are going to have the same situation as last year where we may have programming funding but may not be able to enroll anyone who wants to get an education award. Mr. Caldwell detailed that holding firm to three messages was important: • Ameri Corps is working, • Michigan's systems are sound, we are exemplary among state commissions and among members we are enrolling. • We should not bare the brunt of the burden of the accounting errors at the national level. 7 �Commissioner Pellegrino suggested that the Commissioners could use their resources to help to coordinate an effort to get the message out. Commissioner O'Day asked ifthere has ever been a fundraising program. Kyle Caldwell responded no. Commissioner Pickard mentioned that she is involved in social organizations that participate in fundraising events. They are looking for opportunities to use the money for good uses. There are so many of these organizations in our communities and we're all trying to make a difference but it is so fragmented that it' s hard to see a difference. Ifwe could pull together all of these different organizations to make a commitment it would make a big difference. B. Service-Learning Kyle Caldwell explained that the MCSC is aggressively going after more servicelearning funding at the federal level through the Corporation -- working with the Department of Education and with the Council of Michigan Foundations' Learning to Give. Staff is focusing on moving the agenda forward and moving out after the institutions that are bringing in new teachers and working with Learning to Give as a tool to promote service-learning. Learning To Give is going to examine the lessons they have on philanthropy that cut across the standards from the MEAP and see where they can tighten up on service-learning and make their program more of a service-learning tool. Staff is also working with the key partnerships in working with local districts to infuse service-learning policy. Staff submitted one application for competitive funding and will be going after the school-based funding and the community-based funding. There are a number of events coming up including the Institute for Service-Learning Symposium which will be June 16-17 in Lansing and will include some national speakers. Mr. Caldwell encouraged Commissioners to attend if possible. Kyle Caldwell also gave a quick update on the audit. "All indications are that we've got a clean books, clean systems and we are figuring out how to close out $1,164.00." So out of the millions of dollars MCSC received to run the programs, this is great. Staff is also going through a standards review and should be closed out soon. Kyle Caldwell also discussed that the Volunteer Investment Grant funding which is still being discussed in the State House and Senate. Kyle Caldwell explained that the MCSC has added a new staff member, Diana Algra, who will be handling the Service-Learning policy work. He also mentioned that Linda Adams and Liz Scully have left the MCSC due to their contracts being complete. V. New business - Chairperson Dan Mulhern A. American Association of State Service Commissions (ASC) - Deb Macon 8 �Deb Macon explained the Leadership Development Initiative with ASC funded by the Kellogg Foundation. The initiative is a training tool to become better Commissioners. B. Retreat Planning Committee - Chairperson Mulhern Chairperson Mulhern explained that he would like to continue what the Commission has been doing and continue to build the infrastructure as budgets allow. Mentor Michigan - Chairperson Mulhern stated that program will be developed through the Commission. We need to reach out statewide to bring stakeholders together to talk about mentoring and to talk about what we can do at a statewide level that supports what's happening at the local level. There are several things happening so there won't be a single method for delivering, whether it's a predelinquent program or school-based program, there are going to be a lot of vehicles. We have to decide what is the state brand of Mentor Michigan and how do we add value to that. Most likely it will be by recruiting and promoting it. Another piece will be determining standards for volunteer screening. Also, it will be important to discuss a way to track or measure results. We'll be interested in hearing from Commissioners regarding the people from their area who should be involved. Chairperson Mulhern also mentioned that as a new leader of the Commission, it will be important to revisit and clarify the vision and to discuss : • what's working; • the special mission of the Commission; • what is it that it does that no one else does; • how do we do it well; • what are the values that we want to have as a Commission; • what can we build on to do well; • develop goals for the coming year; • what is the profile of a Commissioner and who should be a Commissioner. Commissioners Smith and Oden agreed to serve on the Retreat Planning Committee. C. VI. Commission Meeting Schedule - Chairperson Mulhern Chair Mulhern mentioned that the MCSC will put out a schedule for meetings over the next two years so that we can have good attendance. Chairperson Mulhern stated that he would like to have meetings that are energized and lively. Public Comment - Chairperson Dan Mulhern 9 �Chairperson Mulhern presented a tribute from Governor Granholm to Russ Mawby for his service as Chair of the Commission over the last few years. Commissioner Mawby thanked everyone for their support. On behalf of the Commissioners, Commissioner Kwak welcomed Chairperson Mulhern to the Commission and stated that she looks forward to his leadership. Commissioner Oden mentioned that Commissioner Barfield was recognized at a conference in Nashville at a Black Enterprise Entrepeneurs Conference with a Lifetime Achievement Award. Kyle Caldwell also asked Commissioners to add May 24-25, 2004 to their schedules for the Volunteerism SuperConference and Governor's Service Awards in Grand Rapids . VII. Adjourn - Chairperson Mulhern Chairperson Mulhern asked for a motion to adjourn. Commissioner Mawby moved to adjourn the meeting. Commissioner Kwak seconded the motion. The meeting was adjourned at 3:20pm. 10 � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

It will be a time to get to know each other better and to focus in on the work that lies before us. I would ask you in preparation to give some thought to three questions: (1) When it comes to volunteerism and the commission, where are you coming from? What got you excited about volunteering, what experiences have been most powerful, what has been your most powerful learning? (2) What does success look like for us as a commission? If the MSCS exceeds its wildest hopes, in 20 years, what would incoming commissioners see that is different as a direct result of our work? (3) What is the unique value we add as commissioners (as distinct from the staff)? What do we do individually or collectively do that truly adds value? We will touch on each of these questions, so I thought I'd give you a chance to ponder them ahead of time. Drive safely and see you soon!
