All grantees will be expected to meet the match requirement for their given year of funding. If a grantee has been a recipient of previous Michigan's AmeriCorps funding, that funding would count when determining the match requirement. For example, if"Agency A", which is not a current grantee applied for AmeriCorps funding for the 2001 - 2002 year and had previously received 3 years of Michigan's AmeriCorps funding, they would need to provide the match level of a Year 4 program. Implementation of the Plan The new match requirements will be phased in over the next three years (FY 2000 - 2003) beginning with the 2000-01 program year. Programs operating in the first three years would be required to meet the match requirement specific to their current year of funding. Programs that have been in existence for more than three years will be required to meet the Year 4 match requirement for the 2000-2001 program year. Each year, programs will advance to the next level of match requirement until they reach the Year 7 and beyond requirement. Waiver If a program is not able to meet the match requirement for a given program year, that program may request a waiver. A program may apply for a waiver as part of their application to the MCSC. Applicants will need to provide justification for the waiver. The MCSC will have the right to approve or deny the waiver based on the program's justification. The waiver allows MCSC to support a program that may have extenuating circumstances that prevent it from �meeting the match requirement. The board will review and decide each waiver on a case-by-case basis. Rationale The MCSC has served as the official and sole fiduciary for Michigan ' s AmeriCorps program since its inception in 1993 . As we start our seventh year of overseeing and supporting Michigan's AmeriCorps grantees, the MCSC finds that it has funded some grante-es continuously for seven years. When MCSC devised its original strategies, the intent was for AmeriCorps in Michigan to be community based, community driven and community supported. Today, our program portfolio does not necessarily that vision. So, rather than arbitrarily change the MCSC's application procedures and require a substantial match and/or place a cut off point, the staff decided to gain the opinions of practioners and recommend policy changes based on their input. The MCSC staff convened a dialogue of current and past Michigan's AmeriCorps grantees. On August 5, 1999, individuals representing a wide variety of program models and experiences were convened to discuss what length of time, at what levels, and under what criteria should the MCSC provide grantees, in the AmeriCorps Program portfolio, with continued funding. The overwhelming response from the participants indicated that it was unrealistic to expect local communities to be able to support full-time stipended volunteers and the operations of an organization. However, they could begin to support more ofthe operational costs of the program ifthey continued to receive federal support for the member support costs. Based on the input from the field, the MCSC re-examined its renewal application process and its goals as a grant maker. As a result, staff recommended that programs needed to increasingly support their activities while annually decreasing their dependence on federal support. The MCSC feels that given the unpredictable nature of federal funding for AmeriCorps, our mutual goals of long-sustained impact through local support and control, and the desire to broaden the opportunities for other communities to experience the power of AmeriCorps, a pro-active plan for distributing resources was needed. While the details of the funding plan for Michigan's AmeriCorps is new, the philosophy upon which it is based is not. The MCSC has long held that AmeriCorps is a powerful tool for community building, individual development and creating demonstrable impact where people live. As a state agency charged to enable all citizens, including youth, to engage in public problem solving through service and volunteerism, the MCSC must work to affect as many individuals and organizations as possible. This is why the MCSC has encouraged grantees to seek increased local match while requesting reduced levels of federal support for the AmeriCorps programs. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Through service-learning, young people take what they learn and put it into action in the community. Service-learning is a way of teaching that connects learning with meaningful community service. Learn and Serve- Michigan is a grant prq,gram that supports schools and community organizations in providing service-learning opportunities during and after school. Service-learning involves youth in activities that meet genuine community needs and requires the application ofknowledge, skills, and reflection time. Youth are involved in assessing community needs, designing projects to address the community needs, and reflecting before, during and after their service experiences. The service activities must be tied to intentional learning objectives. Examples of community-based service-learning projects include: designing neighborhood playgrounds, teaching younger children to read, testing the local water quality, developing urban community gardens, starting recycling programs, and other projects that meet community needs while teaching youth valuable skills. The Learn and Serve funds are provided by the Corporation for National and Community Service (CNCS) and comprise essentially three streams: School-based, Communitybased and Higher Education. The MCSC administers or co-administers two of these streams-School-based and Community-based. Learn and Serve Michigan School-based Program How are the grants are awarded? The MCSC conducts an annual application process to select Learn and Serve - Michigan School-Based programs. This process may include the selection of new or re-competing programs and/or the renewal of existing programs. The MCSC commits funding to each grantee for up to three years. Grantees are required to apply annually for funding. Assuming they are accomplishing their stated goals and objectives, grantees are renewed for a total of three years of funding. After three years of funding, grantees are required to re-compete for funding. However, the MCSC reserves the right to have programs recompete outside of the three year funding cycle. The selection of new or re-competing grantees includes a peer and staff review process. Only MCSC staff reviews grantees that are seeking renewal funding. Grant size to date, eligible applicants, and match requirements Learn and Serve- Michigan grants are available to establish or expand service-learning in your school district. The goal of the funding is to establish sequential service-learning opportunities so that all students will have at least one service-learning experience at the elementary, middle, and high school levels. Planning grants are available to school districts that want to establish service-learning. Implementation grants are available to expand service-learning in districts where it already exists. 2 �Who is eligible to apply? Local public school districts, intermediate school districts, and public and private school academies are eligible to apply for Learn and Serve - Michigan funds. What is the grant amount? In order to meet the varying needs of school districts there are two types of gt:ants available: Planning and Implementation. The MCSC funds planning grants, in the amount of$8,000, to school districts who have never received Learn and Serve- Michigan funding in order to develop a plan to integrate service-learning throughout the district. Implementation grants, in the amount of$20,000, are given to schools to assist in the expansion of quality service-learning practice. What can Learn and Serve - Michigan SB funds support? Learn and Serve-Michigan SB funds can be used to support the expenses associated with integrating service-learning throughout the district. This may include, but is not limited to, advisory board development, teacher in-services, other professional development opportunities, peer exchanges, supplies and materials, and conference attendance. Is there a match requirement? All applicants are required to provide a one-to-one match. Therefore, applicants must provide $1.00 of match for every $1 .00 requested. Match funds may be in-kind or cash and come from federal and non-federal sources. History The Learn and Serve- Michigan School-Based program is part of the CNCS . The school-based grants are awarded to state departments of education on a formula basis. The appropriation for the Learn and Serve America has remained the same since 1994. For the FY 2003 appropriation, a slight increase has been proposed. The Michigan Department of Education (MDE) administered the Learn and Serve- Michigan school based program since the early 90's. During the mid 90's the MCSC brokered a partnership that allowed one of the MCSC program officers to assist in the administration of the school-based program. In 2000, the partnership was re-assessed and a recommendation was made that the MCSC administer the program for the MDE. The MCSC agreed and began administering the program in May 2000. The MCSC works closely with the MDE as it remains the legal applicant for the grant. The MCSC has the authority to approve the sub-grants, but must seek approval from the MDE for the yearly renewal applications to CNSC and the three-year plans. 3 �Important Milestones for Service-Learning in Michigan this Past Year • In February 2002, Kyle Caldwell, Executive Director of the MCSC, Dr. Russell Mawby, Chair of the MCSC, and Kathy Agard, Executive Director of Learning to Give met with Tom Watkins, Superintendent of the Michigan Department of Education and Kathleen Strauss, President of the State Board ofEducation to discuss the official endorsement of service-learning and the Learning to Give initi.ative by the department. The State Board of Education adopted policies for affirming servicelearning at the May 9, 2002 board meeting. The policies include the following: • It is the policy of the State Board of Education to encourage public schools to integrate service learning components into the classroom learning environment. • It is the policy ofthe State Board of Education that public schools research and utilize service-learning as a powerful teaching method that can help to make learning exciting, meaningful, relevant, and lasting for all students. • It is the policy of the State Board of Education to encourage Michigan teachers to select and integrate academic lessons from service-learning activities to enrich student understanding of civil society and the role of free people in a democracy. • In addition, Paula Kaiser, Deputy Director ofMCSC, served on a State Board of Education Taskforce on Integrating Communities and Schools. The taskforce was charged with developing a report on ways to better integrate communities and schools so that all students achieve. The taskforce presented their recommendations to the State Board of Education on June 13, 2002. Service-learning was highlighted in three different areas of the report as a best practice for integrating communities and schools. Furthermore, L'Anse Crueuse High School, a 2002 National ServiceLearning Leader School, was highlighted in the board presentation as a model program. Additional policies in support of the report are expected to be introduced in the future. The MCSC will continue to monitor the new policy recommendations and attempt to interject service-learning when and where appropriate. • The MCSC contracted with Public Sector Consultants to conduct an environmental scan to determine the prevalence of service-learning throughout Michigan. The survey was sent to approximately 2,100 schools throughout Michigan with a 30 percent response rate. A draft of the survey results reveals that community-service in more prevalent than service-learning. Eighty-eight percent of Michigan public schools participate in community service while 39 percent of schools participate in service-learning. It is important to note that only 5% of the respondents state they have received Learn and Serve funding. Therefore, 34% ofthose schools engaging in service-learning are in addition to the 28 Learn and Serve school districts. The survey also reveals service-learning is largely an activity of individual teachers rather than as a school- or district-wide initiative. 4 �Furthermore, service-learning is more likely to occur in high schools (42%) and middle schools (40%) than in elementary schools (only 30%). The MCSC expects to receive a final copy of the survey results in August 2002. A final copy will be forwarded at that time. • Through the 2001- 2002 Learn and Serve- Michigan School-based program, 28 school districts throughout Michigan are working toward the integration and institutional of service-learning district-wide. Seven of those districts ar~ new grantees. Throughout the 28 school districts 1,570 teachers used service-learning as a teaching methodology while engaging 31,692 youth. Each year the grantees are asked to expand service-learning within the district with the goal of ensuring youth get at least one quality service-learning experience at each grade span.

Should/must they align with the larger goal of the program?- who, what, and where do we want to Fund? What should be the size and types of grants? • Providing regionalized technical assistance to the grantees and having the resources to do it may be a method of improving quality. • Sustainability- What does it look like? • How do we help connect service-learning with other initiatives within the MDE? • How do we help developing broader support within the education associations for service-learning? • Would developing resources and providing support to the broader field be helpful? If so, how do we support this with the very limited resources currently afforded for this? What creative solutions should we divine? • What should be the elements of our development process for the next three-year plan? 5 �Learn and Serve-Michigan Community-Based Program Purpose The Learn and Serve-Michigan Community-based Organization (CBO) grant program is part of the Learn and Serve America program for school-age youth supported by the CNCS. The Learn and Serve America program funds and assists in the development of high quality service-learning programs in K-12 schools and in community-b~§ed organizations. Grants provide funding for service-learning programs that adqress local needs in the areas of education, public safety, human needs, and/or the environment. How are the grants awarded? Similar to the Learn and Serve School-based program, the MCSC conducts an annual application process to select Learn and Serve - Michigan CBO programs. This process may include the selection of new or re-competing programs and/or the renewal of existing programs. The MCSC commits funding to each grantee for up to three years. Grantees are required to apply annually for funding. Assuming they are accomplishing their stated goals and objectives, grantees are renewed each year for a total of three years of funding. After three years of funding, grantees are required to re-compete for funding. However, the MCSC reserves the right to have programs re-compete outside of the three-year funding cycle. The selection of new or re-competing grantees includes a peer and staff review process. Grantees that are seeking renewal funding are reviewed only by MCSC staff both processes require commissioner approval. Who is eligible to apply? Any 50l(c) 3 nonprofit organization that has been in existence for at least three years is eligible to apply for Learn and Serve-Michigan funds. This may include, but is not limited to, local government entities, faith-based organizations, community-based organizations, and neighborhood-based groups. What is the grant amount? Grant requests may vary in amount depending on the type and scope of a proposed program. Applicants are allowed flexibility in developing their budgets, within federal regulations. Grants are assessed for program cost effectiveness. The average grant amount is approximately $15,000. What can Learn and Serve-Michigan CBO funds support? Learn and Serve-Michigan CBO funds can be used to support the expenses associated with conducting the service-learning activities. This may include, but is not limited to, staff time, supplies, participant training, and transportation. Is there a match requirement? All applicants are required to provide a one-to-one match. Therefore, applicants must provide $1.00 of match for every $1.00 requested. Match funds may be in-kind or cash and come from federal and non-federal sources. 6 �History Grant Year 1994-95 1995-96 1996-97 1997-98 1998-99 1999-00 2000-00 2001-02 2002-03 Total #of Grantees 6 8 10 7 7 10 8 11 11* 67 Amount Granted $104,883 $126,890 $139,953 $115,499 $115,499 $135,527 $157,000 $155,518 $159,594* $1,050,769.00 Match Funds $93,735 $109,047 $158,558 $130,037 $105,765 $105,765 $161,209 $193,745 Not avail. $1,057,861.00 Average Size of the Grant $17,481 $15,861 $13,995 $16,500 $16,500 $13,553 $19,625 $14,138 $14,509 $142,162.00 Number of Participants 554 925 1,6 15 ·. 1,976 760 3,141 2,505 tbd tbd 11,476 *Pending Board Approval at the September 12, 2002 Board Meeting Issues to Consider • What should be the larger goal of the program other than making grants? • Grantmaking Strategy- Who, what, and where do we want to fund? -What size and types of the grants should we make? • What should be the targeted number of participants for the size of the grant (For example, for a $15,000 grant is there a minimum number of youth that should be engaged and for a specific period of time?) • What does sustainability look like? How long are we willing to invest in a program/organization? • Clearly there are not enough resources to meet the demand. During the previous application process we received requests for more than $500,00 and only had $160,000 available • There is a lack of high quality applications- In the past we have received a lot of application but many of them were not proposing service-learning-rather service projects only-activities not tied to the goals ofthe curriculum .. • Who should we fund that leads to sustainability? Are there certain organizations that are more prone to being able to sustain community-based service-learning than others. For example, if sustainability means that an organization can be successful integrating service-learning in their youth programming, then is it a natural fit to fund traditional youth serving agencies? 7 �• The next three-year plan - The MCSC must submit a new three-year application to CNCS this winter. What should the three-year plan include? Keep in mind that Learn and Serve Community-based funding is competitive. Therefore it is not guaranteed to any state. We are one of only a handful of states that have been awarded Learn and Serve CBO funding consistently for the past nine years. • How should the school-based and community-based program interface or complement one another? 8 �LEARN & SERVE -SCHOOL BASED Grantees "'7!....... i-' ..

Mawby Executive Director Kyle Caldwell MEMORANDUM TO: Members of the Michigan Community Service Commission FROM: Paula Kaiser, Deputy Michigan Community Service Commission RE: Staff Recommendations for Learn and Serve-Michigan School-based and Community-Based Grants DATE: August 21, 2002 Dir~ Learn & Serve Michigan School Based Grants Renewal Funding Background: · The 27 current Learn and Serve - Michigan school-based grantees were eligible for renewal funding for a second year of operation. The MCSC has $650,000 available to fund Learn and Serve-Michigan Community-Based renewal programs. All 27 programs submitted renewal applications on July, 2002 requesting a total of$633,621. The applications were reviewed by the MCSC staff. Planning Grants Planning grants are normally only offered to new applicants and are not offered during the renewal process. The Clinton County RESA received an implementation grant for the 2001-02 program year. Upon review of their renewal application it became evident that this program did not have a long-term plan for service-learning nor had they built the support necessary to implement a plan. Rather than not fund them, the MCSC staff is recommending they receive a planning grant so that they can begin to develop the long-term service-learning plan and support for the plan. If the commission approves the staff recommendation, the staff will meet with the grantee to see what kind of additional assistance we can provide in order for them to be successful. �The staff recommends renewal funding at the recommended amount for the following applicants: Legal Applicant Funding Requested $20,000 $20,000 Clinton County RESA Total Funding Recommended $8,000 $8,000 Implementation Grants The MCSC provides grants to implement service-learning throughout Michigan school districts. Districts must demonstrate knowledge of and experience with promoting service-learning in previous years. The primary goal of the implementation grants is the expansion of quality service-learning practice. Applicants may apply for up to $20,000 for implementation grants.

The application guidelines were sent to all local school districts, intermediate school districts, charter schools, and public school academies. The MCSC offered two categories of funding. School districts that have never received Learn and Serve funding were able to apply for up to $8,000 in order to develop a plan to establish service-learning throughout the district. School districts that have received funds in the past were able to apply for up to $20,000 to expand quality service-learning practice throughout the district. The MCSC hosted a technical assistance session for all schools interested in applying in Mount Pleasant on April 23, 2002.

Mawby • Executive Director Kyle Caldwell 1048 Pierpont, Suite 4 Lansing , Michigan 48911 Telephone : (517) 335-4295 FAX : (517) 373-4977 MEMORANDUM TO: Members and Friends of the Michigan Community Service Commission FROM: Kyle Caldwell, Executive Director RE: Executive Director's Report DATE: Tuesday, August 27, 2002 ~ In October of 1991 , Governor Engler signed Executive Order 1991-25 which established the Michigan Community Service Commission (MCSC). Since then, the organization has become one ofthe nation's leading state service commissions supporting thousands of volunteers and leveraging millions in local match and endowments. Earlier this year, the MCSC celebrated its lOth Anniversary at the Michigan State Capitol building. It was a fine tribute to the work of the Commission and to the public policy makers who have supported our work-especially the Governor and First Lady. Looking back and forward will be the focus of our work at the September meeting. We will review our accomplishments, both long- and short-term, at our retreat. I, along with some of the other staff, will deliver a 1- and 10-year review of major developments in the MCSC's evolution. This advance report will highlight just a few major activities of the past few months and provide you with some advance notice on important matters to come. Audit and Standards Review Audit The auditors from the Office of the Inspector General for the Corporation for National and Community Service (CNCS) have provided the staff with their first draft of a report detailing an intensive 7-month audit ofthe MCSC's financial and programmatic systems. The staff has 30 days to respond and then the full report with our responses will go to the CNCS for a final determination. The entire examination questioned less than 3% of all the funding administered by the MCSC since 1997 (the scope of the audit). Terry Bathen, the acting Inspector General for the CNCS, personally attended our exit meeting and assured the staff that the findings were minor and that our systems were sound. Staff will review the findings at our meeting. �Standards In August, the staff engaged in a separate, but equally intensive review of our systems by a panel of peer reviewers based on eleven standards and over 170 sub-points. The Standards Review is a system developed by the CNCS through a peer review process to test the integrity of the state service commissions. This process is in addition to the aforementioned audit. The MCSC passed all, but one standard (Standard 5 -Utilizes Appropriate Finan.£ial and Management Systems) and it was failed due to our inability to address sub-point~ related to late reporting and minor time and effort reporting. The issues will be resolved by the next meeting of the MCSC in December. More importantly, the review team that examined the MCSC said that they have never in all of their reviews, examined a commission that was better prepared nor had stronger systems. While passage of all 11 standards would have been desirable, we are proud to be noted as one of the states with the best systems. Again, we will review the conclusions and resolutions to this examination at our meeting. Grants and Programming Learn & Serve Commissioners will be asked to approve the latest set of recommendations from staff concerning the Learn & Serve School- and Community-based funds . A memo describing the staff recommendations is provided along with brief descriptions of each program. Please review the recommendations and examine the list for any potential conflicts of interest you may need to declare at the September meeting. We will be reviewing the tremendous work we've completed in our quest to advance servicelearning in Michigan. Key among the accomplishments is that recent action by the Michigan Board of Education to support Service-Learning and Learning To Give- the philanthropy in education project of the Council of Michigan Foundations. Equally impressive is the work staff have completed in convening key stakeholders and providing tools and information to teachers and administrators. These will be reviewed in more detail at our next meeting along with the work we've engaged in at the national level. AmeriCorps Our next round of AmeriCorps applications will begin this September with the distributions of Notice OfFunds Available (NOFA) going out this week. We are uncertain how much will be available next year given the President's call for a substantial increase and the Congress' call for less of an increase. The entire budget process has stalled at the national level with the upcoming elections. In the meantime, staff will proceed under the assumption that we will only have the same level as last year available. Volunteer Investment Grants The staffwill be sharing some of the developments with our Volunteer Investment Grants (VIG) program. This year we had just over $800,000 available to distribute-a reduction of $200,000 from our original appropriation. Not all of the funds were encumbered; therefore, in accordance with the previous practice approved by the commissioners, staff increased the amounts available to existing applicants that expressed and interest and demonstrated an ability to match the funds. To date, this program has leveraged more than $4 million in local endowments for volunteer resource centers! A more detailed analysis will be provided at our September meeting. 2 �Michigan Citizen Corps As you may recall, the Governor established the Michigan Citizen Corps as an advisory body to the MCSC in April of this year. Since that time the staff have been working to establish working relationships with key local and national organizations to determine the best method for combining the emergency management organizations with the traditional community and national service organizations. This has included developing a strong relationship with the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). The Congress and the Presid~nt called for a supplemental appropriation to help develop Citizen Corps Councils, but the mea~ure was vetoed due to disagreements on additional spending measures that were tagged to the bill. Without these resources, the MCSC staff is not able to do the local and statewide work necessary to implement the plan called for in the Governor's Executive Order. The working group for the Michigan Citizen Corps will be discussing strategies to advance the homeland security/volunteerism work we need to do while working with in the current financial constraints. Senior Corps The Senior Corps programs in Michigan (RSVP, Foster Grandparents, and Senior Companions) are not administered by the MCSC. They are provided state and federal resources directly from the CNCS and the Michigan Department of Community Health, Office for Service to the Aging. However, the MCSC does work closely with the Senior Corps programs to determine areas of collaboration and cooperation. I have been working with a number of Senior Corps programs recently and have been involved in discussions concerning the impact of the most recent reauthorization bill and connections to Citizen Corps. We will be discussing more opportunities at our September meeting. Staffing We have a number of staff additions and departures to share, but before that I want to point out that we often tell our grantees and partners involved in service that volunteers are not thanked enough. This is very true. It is also true that we have the same situation with our dedicated staff. The past four months have been absolutely exhausting. Few other commissions can claim to have survived two intrusive and highly stressful federal examinations (audit and standards review), conduct oversight of over 100 grants, develop and implement research and evaluation systems, conduct several statewide trainings and conferences, produce a state plan for national service in Michigan, all while creating an entirely new marketing and communication strategy. I am lucky to work with a great team of professionals. Michigan has one of the finest teams in the country! Adding to this fine team, we have a new grants officer- Kevin Reeves. Kevin is working with Garry Gross and Jennifer Forbes to fortify our oversight and monitoring of grantees' financial and administrative systems. We have a new intern, Laura Fiorino-a senior at Olivet Collegewho will assist with the implementation of our marketing/communication activities and special events. Succeeding our Michigan's Promise Fellow, Mary Williams who completed her term of service this spring, Jessica Swindell will be working to support and transition our Michigan's Promise activities to the ConnectMichigan Alliance. Finally, we have re-aligned our staffing to provide staff more "day-to-day" while I conduct more external work. Paula Kaiser will now serve as the Deputy Director of the MCSC and will also be doing double duty in her former role as Director of Programs. Paula's leadership and organizational skills are well known and she is doing a fine job keeping the shop running! 3 �We are excited about the opportunity to share and discuss the successes and challenges we have celebrated and faced over the past year. Our presentations for the work groups and the 1- and 10-year retrospectives should provide you with a keener insight into how we can and should move our organization forward in support of Michigan' s Volunteers. See you at Brook Lodge! 4 � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

CONCLUSION The MCSC Marketing Plan outlined above is a comprehensive, multi-year program and successful implementation relies on the active involvement of MCSC staff and commissioners. The Marketing Plan is a multi-tiered approach focusing on the following action areas: research, marketing communications, internal communications, legislature relations, nonprofit community relations, and media relations. As a result of this plan, the MCSC will: • Have stronger relationships with Michigan legislators, state departments, media, and nonprofit organizations • Have staff members and commissioners who serve as ambassadors for MCSC internally and externally • Be viewed as an expert grant maker and resource on effective volunteer programs and information • More effectively assist its grantees with member recruitment and media and legislative relations • Use consistent language and graphic designs in all brochures, newsletters, news releases, presentations, etc. that clearly defines the mission, role, and operations of the MCSC The next steps in the development of the marketing plan are outlined below. 1. Determine the priorities in each action area of the marketing plan (research, marketing communications, internal communications, legislature relations, nonprofit community relations, and media relations) 2. Develop the marketing plan timeline. This will be a multi-year timetable for implementation, with a detailed timetable and action items for the first year 3. Develop a detailed budget for the first year of the marketing plan 4. Develop an effective system for monitoring the results of the marketing plan based upon the priorities The implementation of the Marketing Plan will happen concurrently with the continued development of the Plan. Identified priorities in each action area of the Plan (research, marketing communications, internal communications, legislature relations, nonprofit community relations, and media relations) will be implemented simultaneously. 7 � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

It is my pleasure to share some of these with you. Fundraising Attached is the latest snapshot, as well as two illustrative graphs stating the progress of the ConnectMichigan Alliance Campaign. The staff and Campaign Cabinet are working to finish the campaign, with only $2.3 million necessary to meet the challenge of The Kresge Fow1dation. Over 65 southeastern Michigan corporations have been approached for $100,000 each. We await responses from these proposals. The Gerstacker Foundation recently awarded the ConnectMichigan Alliance a grant for $50,000. A great deal of thanks goes to Commissioner Engler as well as Senator Bill Schuette, Vice President of the Gerstacker Foundation, in securing this grant. Programs The program aspect ofCMA is moving forward. Michigan Campus Compact and Volunteer Centers of Michigan continue to work hard to promote the CMA mission. Additionally, there have been many discussions regarding programming for CMA and the transfer of cunent Michigan Community Service Conm1ission (MCSC) programs to CMA. With Mary Estrada joining the staff of CMA, the transition of programs from the MCSC will go along much smoother. Kyle Caldwell, Paula Kaiser, Mary Estrada, Mary Grill and Liz Scully of the MCSC staff met with John Lore, Judy Tymowicz, Amy Smitter and Kate Sperti of the CMA staff to discuss the transition of the following programs: America's Promise/Michigan's Promise Make-A-Difference Day The Governor's Service Awards Transition of all ofthese programs will begin in November, following Mary's move to CMA pending MCSC approval.

Pete Hoekstra �1111 Corporation for Nationa,l W and Community Service Legislation Pending in Congress Summary of HR 4854 - Citizen Service Act of 2002 Highlights of the Bill As Ordered Reported by the House Committee on Education and the Workforce on June 12, 2002 (Prepared by the Corporation for National and Community Service) Background and Principles HR 4854, the Citizen Service Act of 2002, was ordered reported by the House Education and the Workforce Committee on June 12, 2002. The bill, which amends the National and Community Service Act of 1990 (NCSA) and the Domestic Volunteer Service Act of 1973 (DVSA), would reauthorize for 5 years the programs administered by the Corporation for National and Community Service ("The Corporation"). These programs are: • • • Senior Corps, which includes 500,000 seniors serving as: Foster Grandparents who mentor at risk youth, Senior Companions who assist the frail elderly, and members of RSVP, the Retired and Senior Volunteer Program, which provides a wide variety of community services; AmeriCorps, which enables 50,000 (mostly young) Americans to devote one or two years of service to their communities by providing a very modest living allowance during their term of service, and an education award at the conclusion of service; and Learn & Serve America, which brings together learning in the classroom and service to the community, for 1.5 million students of all ages. H.R. 4854, in large part, responds to the President's Call to Service. In his State of the Union Address on January 29th of this year, the President called on all Americans to give at least two years- or 4000 hours - of service to their communities and nation over the course of their lives. On April 9, 2002 the President elaborated on this Call to Service by setting forth Principles and Reforms for a Citizen Service Act. �In the Principles, the President stated: "Americans have always believed in an ethic of service and civic responsibility that includes helping those in need and promoting the common good. Since September 11, Americans have demonstrated their true character in unity, generosity, patriotism, and civic pride ...Today, Americans serve in their neighborhoods and communities in countless, extraordinary ways. While most of our Nation's civic work is being done without the aid of government, the Federal Government can do a much better job in helping support and encourage a culture of community service and civic responsibility." In order to support and encourage community service, the Principles set forth four objectives for the Citizen Service Act. HR 4854 fulfills those objectives in the following ways: 1. Support and encourage greater engagement of citizens in volunteering. HR 4854 would increase the quantity and quality of service opportunities for Americans by: generating more volunteers for each government dollar spent by making volunteer mobilization an explicit criterion for grants to service organizations; lowering the age of eligibility for all Senior Corps programs to age 55; raising the income eligibility threshold for participation in Foster Grandparents and Senior Companions; authorizing a new Senior Scholarship as an incentive for more seniors to serve in communities; testing a pilot program that would allow individuals more choice in where they volunteer; expanding flexibility in the use of funds to increase participation by individuals with disabilities; increasing discretion to consolidate and target Learn and Serve funds to quality programs; and setting higher authorized funding levels for Senior Corps, AmeriCorps, and Learn & Serve America. 2. Make Federal funds more responsive to state and local needs. HR 4854 would increase the proportion of AmeriCorps funds allocated to local programs by State Service Commissions rather than by national competition; permit AmeriCorps members to work with community organizations on capacity-building activities such as recruiting and utilizing additional volunteers; increase the minimum funds available to State Commissions; provide greater flexibility in the use of service-learning funds by state education agencies; and reduce administrative burdens. 3. Make Federal support more accountable and effective. Under HR 4854, the CEO of the Corporation would be required to work with grantees to establish performance measures; require corrective plans for those not meeting the goals; and reduce or terminate grants if corrections are not made. �4. Provide greater assistance to community organizations, both secular and faith-based. Since AmeriCorps' inception in 1993, about 15% of AmeriCorps members have worked with faith-based organizations in their secular, community-oriented activities. (VISTA, which is now a part of AmeriCorps, has worked with faith-based organizations since the 1970s.) HR 4854 would further the participation of community and faithbased organizations by: providing greater flexibility in the selection, placement and terms of service for VISTA members; allowing, on a pilot basis, individuals to choose organizations they wish to serve with; and providing additional incentives for seniors to serve in such organizations. HR 4854: Background; Program-by-Program Summary Senior Corps (authorized by the DVSA) Background: The Senior Corps provides opportunities for approximately 500,000 older Americans to serve their communities. Senior Corps is comprised of three major programs: the Retired and Senior Volunteer Program (RSVP) ; the Foster Grandparent Program; and the Senior Companion Program. The Corporation makes grants to nonprofit organizations and public entities to support these programs. • • RSVP matches older Americans who are willing to help with local problems in their communities. RSVP volunteers provide a wide range of important services, such as tutoring youth, responding to natural disasters, serving as citizen patrols for local police departments, teaching parenting skills to teen parents, getting children immunized, and mentoring troubled youth. RSVP volunteers serve without stipend for an average of four hours per week. Foster Grandparents provide valuable assistance to children with exceptional needs. Foster Grandparents serve in schools, hospitals, drug treatment centers, correctional institutions, Head Start and day care centers. Foster Grandparents help abused and neglected children, mentor troubled teenagers and young mothers, and care for premature infants and children with disabilities. �• Senior Companions provide comfort to frail, homebound individuals- most of them elderly- to help them retain their dignity and independence. In both the Foster Grandparents and Senior Companions programs, participants are low-income seniors who serve 20 hours per week, and receive a modest stipend of $2.65 per hour. RSVP volunteers receive ·no allowance and may select their hours. H.R. 4854 would make the following changes in Senior Corps: • • • Lower the age for eligibility to participate in the Foster Grandparent and Senior Companion programs from 60 to 55 (RSVP is already at 55). Raise the income eligibility guidelines under the Foster Grandparent and Senior Companion programs from 125% to 200% of poverty (125% of poverty for a single person is $11 ,075; 200% is $17,720). Where local programs are unable to fill available stipended slots, up to 15% of the individuals enrolled in a local program may be above 200% of poverty. Further, the prohibition on using federal funds to manage, train, and support over-income volunteers who want to participate in the program without receiving a stipend is removed. Seniors may self-certify income levels. Increase Authorization of Appropriations for Senior Corps programs for FY 2003 as follows: increase RSVP from $55m to $59m; increase Foster Grandparents from $107m to $11Om; increase Senior Companions from $44.4m to $46.6m. H.R. 4854 would establish the following new senior service program: • Authorize a senior service scholarship of $1000 for seniors who serve 500 hours in their communities in a year in tutoring and mentoring activities, as well as activities that meet a wide variety of community needs. Grants to support operations may not exceed $600 per senior AmeriCorps (authorized by the NCSA, except for VISTA which is authorized by the DVSA) Background: There are three main components to AmeriCorps: (1) AmeriCorps*State and National provides grants to states and national organizations to support members in local nonprofit organizations across the country; (2) AmeriCorps*VISTA members focus their activities on supporting community- and faith-based organizations in meeting the needs of low-income communities; and ' . �(3) AmeriCorps*National Civilian Community Corps (NCCC) members (ages 18-24) complete a ten-month , full-time residential service program for men and women that combines the best practices of civilian service with the best aspects of military service, including leadership and team building. Most AmeriCorps members are selected by, and serve with , projects in their communities such as Habitat for Humanity, Neighborhood Watch organizations, the American Red Cross, Boys and Girls Clubs, and local community- and faith-based organizations. State service commissions, appointed by the Nation's governors, allocate resources to these organizations within their respecti ve states. Other grants are made to service organizations at the national level. After their term of service, AmeriCorps members receive education awards to defray college expenses or pay back student loans. Slightly more than one-half of the individuals in these programs serve full-time and receive a living allowance, generally at the poverty level, in order to be able to serve (in addition to the education award). The other one-half serve part-time; they generally do not receive any living allowance but do receive the education award at the end of their service. H.R. 4854 would make the following changes in AmeriCorps programs: • • • • • • Adjust the allocation of funding in the AmeriCorps grant program as follows: 45% for grants to states on a formula basis (up from 33%); at least 35% for state competitive grants; and up to 20% for grants to national organizations. (The new allocations would phase in , under a formula , as overall appropriations increase. During the phase-in, the level of state competitive grants would not decrease below the current level.) Increase from $4,725 to $5,250 the amount of a full-time education award. Establish that an AmeriCorps member may receive the equivalent of two full-time education awards. Authorize the education award to be disbursed directly to individuals with disabilities to pay for education, training, or other work-related activities. Provide that the education award may be used for educational expenses at title IV institutions of higher education as well as to pay for attendance at educational institutions that meet the requirements of the Montgomery Gl Bill. Establish a floor on formula grants to states of $500,000. �• • • • • • • • • • • • Include requirements to contain costs by capping grant costs per individual member. (Cost containment is also achieved through current law provisions that authorize education-awardonly programs, and part-time Ameri Corps members.) Authorize grants for the purpose of technology programs in the classroom, in after-school programs, and in neighborhood centers (E-Corps). Authorize grants for qualified participants to be trainees as law . enforcement officers, firefighters and rescue personnel. Authorize grants for the purpose of homeland security that engages citizens in public safety, public health, disaster relief and preparedness. Authorize the CEO of the Corporation to reserve funds to support pilot programs, such as member-based service positions that allow participants to select community service activities, thereby increasing and diversifying opportunities for service. Authorize AmeriCorps members to engage in capacity-building activities including recruiting and managing volunteers. Increasing the involvement of volunteers would be an explicit criterion in making awards under AmeriCorps as well as other national service programs. Transfer authority for the "education award program," originally carried out under a demonstration authority, to subtitle C of the statute-making it an ongoing program of AmeriCorps-with a maximum grant for operational support of $600 per member. Set various requirements related to AmeriCorps tutoring programs, including a requirement that AmeriCorps tutors must have high school diplomas or an equivalent. Modify grants to operate state comm issions, including: increasing the minimum from $125,000 to $200,000; increasing the maximum grant from $750,000 to $1 million; placing the matching requirements on a sliding scale; and modifying the requirements related to the preparation of a national and community service plan for each state to include approval by the CEO, measurable goals and outcomes, and identification of administrative requirements that may be waived by the Corporation in order to facilitate a state's ability to carry out the plan. Requires literacy programs to be based on scientifically based reading research and ensures that programs provide instruction based on the essential components of reading instruction as defined in P.L. 107-110, the No Child Left Behind Act. Requires the Corporation to establish requirements relating to the promotion of citizenship and civic engagement. Ensures that program participants who receive a living allowance do not displace unpaid volunteers. �• Increase Authorization of Appropriations for AmeriCorps grants for FY 2003 from $240m to $315m . AmeriCorps*National Civilian Community Corps (NCCC) NCCC is a residential program for ages 18-24, that is based on a military model, and sends members in teams to help nonprofit groups provide disaster relief, build homes for /ow-income families, meet growing homeland security needs, and protect the environment. • • • • • Set a minimum of 18 years of age as the requirement for participation, except for summer programs. Authorize, for those enrolled in summer programs while in high school, a $1,000 scholarship for post-secondary education. Provides for the use of NCCC members with prior supervisory experience as Team Leaders and allows them to receive a higher (1 0%) living allowance. Increase authorization of appropriations for NCCC FY 2003 from $25m to $30m. Authorize grants to support emergency response corps, including non-NCCC residential programs, that would respond to natural and other disasters. AmeriCorps*VISTA (Volunteers in Service to America) (authorized by the DVSA) • • • • • Maintain VISTA's unique role in national service related to fighting poverty. Retain current law providing VISTAs with federal employee status for retirement and workers compensation. Increase flexibility in operational programming authority for issues such as placement of participants, resolution of participant complaints, and funding of community service projects. Phase in over 4 years changes to the current law "24/7'' requirement that would allow participants greater flexibility in their work schedule including the ability to use off-hours to take classes or engage in part-time employment to supplement their living allowance. Increase Authorization of Appropriations for AmeriCorps*VISTA for FY 2003 from $85m to $90m. �Learn and Serve America( authorized by the NCSA) Background: The goal of the Learn and Serve America programs is to make service an integral part of the education of all young people and instill a lifelong ethic of civic engagement and service. All Learn and Serve America programs-for K-12 and higher education-integrate community service with academic curricula or with extracurricular learning opportunities. Students who participate in these programs demonstrate increased civic and social responsibility and higher academic achievement. In addition, Learn and Serve America programs encourage and foster beneficial collaboration among schools, community-based organizations, institutions of higher education, and others, to meet community needs and to strengthen the fabric of local communities. H.R. 4854 would make the following changes in Learn and Serve America: • • • • • Increase the total authorization levels for service-learning programs as follows: FY 2003 -$55 million; FY 2004- $58 million; FY 2005- $61 million; FY 2006- $65 million; and FY 2007 - such sums as necessary. (Learn and Serve received $43 million in appropriations in FY 2002.) Allocate the funds as follows: not more than 50% for schoolbased formula programs, not more than 25% for higher education, and not less than 25% for competitive grants at the federal level to improve the quality of school-based programs, community-based programs, and research and demonstration, including training. Continue authority for formula grants to state education agencies (SEAs), which would be given greater flexibility in use of funds and the ability to support a wider variety of eligible applicants. Authorize competitive grants at the federal level for high quality school-based, community-based, and demonstration programs, including training. Continue grants to support higher education. Higher education institutions applying for funding would have to demonstrate compliance with the community service requirements established for the Federal Work Study program under the Higher Education Act. �America's Service . . Commissions Am.:ricun .A!iwciatiuo . . of Start Scrvkc C<~mm issions December 19, 2001 To: State Commissions and Staff From: ASC Policy Committee Subj: Reauthorization statement and proposals The nation' s state service commissions, through the American Association of State Service Commissions (AS C), wish to demonstrate their support for reauthorization of the National and Community Service Trust Act of 1992. Since its passage, America has witnessed a rebirth of our civic values, the power of individual action for the common good, benefits of building communities through national service, and the utility of local programs in addressing national and community priorities. National priorities have again shifted to address a national crisis--our public health and safety. National service programs and participants all across America stand ready to serve. Congress and the President have the opportunity to demonstrate their support for local empowerment and civic action through this reauthorization process. Just renewing the current system and structure for national service, however, will not provide a sustainable or effective community problem solving mechanism. The current legislation and national service system have serious flaws that deserve to be addressed if we are to meet our nation's needs. ASC has undertaken an extensive outreach process that has produced a number of recommendations for policy makers to consider. It will be imperative for members of Congress and the President to adopt these recommendations if national service and public support for volunteerism are to be effective and meaningful. ASC's membership, the approximately 1200 individuals who serve as commissioners and staff in 53 Commissions and thousands of national service participants join the National Governor's Association and its members in calling for reauthorizing the National and Community Service Trust Act of 1992. We stand ready to help all champions of volunteerism maintain and expand this great work. �ASC Recommended changes to the National Service Community Trust Act December 2001 • The funding process should be substantially simplified to encourage a com_prehensive state funding strategy that includes all "streams of service." States should be given discretion to allocate funds by state with the consensus of all streams of service. Currently there is insufficient strategic budgetary planning among the different streams of service at the state level. State Commissions, Corporation state offices, Sr. Corps, Learn & Serve, and other service providers which distribute federal funds are in the best position to know the service needs and opportunities in their respective states, and they should develop a plan that most effectively and efficiently utilizes those funds to meet the identified needs. No funds should be distributed without a comprehensive plan, developed by consensus agreement. The plan should be used to measure success and determine funding allocations. • Funds for training and development should be allocated to state service entities in toto with the understanding that all partners (commissions, corporation state offices, Leam&Serve, Sr. Corps) arrive at a mutually agreed upon budget and outcomes within a specified period or loose the funds (formula equals number of national service participants in the state.) The current system of multiple training programs is neither effective nor cost efficient. Some partners are required to send individuals out of state for training that could be done within the state more efficiently. The providers in the states should be responsible for developing their own training programs to meet their specific needs rather than having training and content mandated by entities outside the state. • Training funds for all state service partners should be allocated and based as a percentage of the total service dollars awarded to states. Currently, PDAT funds are not allocated to states based on the total amount of national service activities operating in that state. As it stands each service stream has some limited amount of training funds . This proposed change would make the training funds allocated to states proportional to the number of individuals �serving in programs in that state and not on a formula based only on state population. • Administrative funding should be awarded as a percentage of all federal national service dollars allocated in a state. Currently the amount of administrative funding is based on state population. Many costs associated with programs are fixed and independent of the state population. This change would index administrative funds allocated to a state based on federal program funds to assure adequate administrative capacity. • Give more latitude to states regarding the cash match requirements for AmeriCorps funds. Currently, there are tight restrictions on the types offunding that can be used for match. This change would enable AmeriCorps projects to utilize a wider range of funds including other federal funds . • AmeriCorps stipends and education award funds should not be subject to tax. Currently, both the stipend and education award are subject federal income tax. This change would exempt the education award and stipend from being subject to federal income tax in keeping with the original intent of the law. The following statutory issues pertain to certain inequities across the streams of service that deserve to be addressed to create greater continuity. • Disability funds should be available for all CNCS program recipients, not just to national direct and national competitive recipients. Currently, AmeriCorps formula programs are not eligible to utilize disability funds received by a state commission. This change would enable all programs to utilize disability funds to provide equal access for all members. • Provide the same HHS benefits to all AmeriCorps members that are currently only being provided to VISTA. �Currently, members who serve in VISTA can serve without losing their SSI or other HHS benefits. This change would enable all who serve to do so without fear of losing SSJ and other HHS benefits. • Replace current restrictive grievance processes with individual programmatic grievance procedures with the fmal determinations to be made at the local U!vel. Currently, the appeal process for members who have a grievance is lengthy, cumbersome and costly. This change brings a swifter remedy to grievances by allowing the final determination to be made at the local level. �• Individuals participating m national serv1ce programs, whether or not they are rece1vmg a living allowance, should not be considered employees and instead be considered volunteers in the agencies/organizations in which they serve in keeping with the original intent of the law. Currently, some entities are classifying members as organization employees. This is contrary to the intent of national service. This change would classify all members in national service as volunteers whether or not they receive a stipend. In addition, the following recommendations with respect to education awards are perceived as minimal requirements needed to help state service entities operate at desired levels of efficiency. • Education awards should be indexed to account for inflation. The current education award has remained at the same level since the original act was passed even as education costs have risen. This change would annually adjust the education award based on the consumer price index or other relevant instrument. • Member eligibility for education award funds should be applied to a maximum value of the award, and not to the "two-term" limit. Currently, members are limited to serving two terms of service regardless of the length of each term. Members who serve part-time terms should have the opportunity to serve the maximum number of hours allowed. This change would enable members to serve additional terms until they reach 3,400 hours or more, which would enable them to access two full-time education awards. • Education awards should be leveraged to support students participating in Presidential Student Service Awards, Learn & Serve programs, and other programs targeted at encouraging middle or high school-age youth to serve. Currently, students who participate in these types of programs are not eligible to receive education awards. This change would open the opportunity for secondary school students to begin earning education awards for their service activities. �• Education awards should be transferable from the recipient to any person the recipient designates. Currently, only the individual performing the service is eligible to receive and use an education award. This change would enable the recipient of the ciward(s) to transfer it/them to any person(s) they designate. ### �Appropriations for Corporation for National and Community Service Veteran's Affairs and Housing and Urban Development (VA/HUD) Bill �11'1 Corporation for N a tiona I W and Community Service News : Fact Sheets : President's FY 2003 Budget Request The President's Budget for fiscal year 2003 for the programs and activities of the Corporation for National and Community Service is $1 .035 billion, an increase of $297 million (+40% ), above enacted levels for fiscal year 2002. As announced by the President in his State of the Union address, the Corporation and its programs are participants in the USA Freedom Corps, which will work with local officials and community groups to offer expanded service opportunities for Americans at home and abroad. The President has called for every citizen to perform some form of service to the nation for at least two years of his or her life. That service could be military or nonmilitary; it could meet large national purposes or local community needs; it can be domestic or international; and it could be done over an uninterrupted period or by accumulating service hours over many years. The Corporation's 2003 budget includes the following proposals. Enhanced service opportunities through an improved AmeriCorps. The President proposes to provide community-based service opportunities through the AmeriCorps program, which has a current enrollment of50,000, by an additional25 ,000 members (+50 percent) in FY 2003. In turn, these members will leverage an additional 75,000 volunteers by using the AmeriCorps members to help recruit and manage volunteers for nonprofit organizations. AmeriCorps members will support homeland defense activities, including public safety, public health, and emergency preparedness. The budget for AmeriCorps includes: expanding grants to state commissions appointed by governors by $13 9 million; providing $10 million for the first-time use of challenge grants to support the expansion of teaching and other national service programs through private matching funds; increasing funds for national nonprofit organizations by $24 million; focusing AmeriCorps*VIST A resources on community and faith-based organizations, including an additional 500 members for this purpose; adding 500 members in residential programs (National Civilian Community Corps) focused on homeland security activities; and support for up to 10,000 seniors to earn a scholarship that can be given to a grandchild or other designated individual for future education. As announced in the blueprint issued by the White House on January 30, entitled USA Freedom Corps, the Administration will propose legislation, the Citizen Service Act of 2002, that will make a number of changes to AmeriCorps that are intended to strengthen the role of states and communities and achieve greater accountability. Resource mobilization will become a fundamental purpose, seniors will be able to earn scholarships to give to their grandchildren, taxation of the education award will end, and other improvements will be proposed. Support for additiona/100,000 seniors in 2003 and strengthened senior service programs. The 2003 budget will propose expanding senior service opportunities by more than 100,000. These individuals will help meet homeland security needs and provide a wide range of important services in communities such as tutoring youth, teaching parenting skills to teen parents, mentoring troubled youth, providing in-home respite care with the frail elderly, and providing support services to youth ex-offenders. �The budget for 2003 includes: a) $50 million increase under Special Volunteer Programs to mobilize an additional 100,000 seniors in service to their communities; b) an additional $6.2 million for existing programs as part of a five-year plan and commitment made by the President to reach a budget of $250 million for those programs; and c) under AmeriCorps, funds for up to 10,000 seniors to serve 900 hours over a 1-2 year period and earn an award of $2,362.50 that can be used by the senior for education or given to a grandchild or other designated individual as a scholarship for future education. In addition, as part ofthe Citizen Service Act of2003, the Bush Administration will propose a series of changes to strengthen opportunities for senior service, including: lowering the age for participation from 60 to 55 in all programs; introducing new incentives for participation by seniors in AmeriCorps, including earning scholarships through service that may be transferred to grandchildren or another designated individual, expanding training; authorizing new research; providing greater flexibility to local communities; and reducing the administrative burden placed on projects. Supporting and enhancing service opportunities at the elementary, secondary, and postsecondary levels. The budget will provide support for more than 1.5 million students to participate in service-learning at the elementary, high school, and college levels. Students and schools across the country can show their commitment to the President's call for two years -- or 4,000 hours -- of service over a lifetime by participating in servicelearning programs. The President has included in his proposals working with the Congress to require every college and university to devote 50 percent of its Federal Work Study funds to community service, commonly known as Serve Study. In any given year, at least five percent of the students will be expected to work in homeland security activities. Carrying out other activities in support of service and volunteerism. The 2003 budget includes: a) $5 million for a new Parent Drug Corps to support more than 10,000 parent volunteers in efforts to reduce drug abuse and form parent drug prevention groups in communities across the country; b) administrative funds to support program expansion and carry out the Administration's management reforms and improvements, particularly in financial and grants management; and c) evaluation and research funds to assess performance and identify best practices; and d) funds for the Points of Light Foundation and America's Promise: The Alliance for Youth to support their efforts in promoting service to communities. Finally, the 2003 budget eliminates certain earmarks enacted by the Congress in 2002.

NATIONAL TRUST SERVICE-- The committee provided $37 million for the National Service Trust, $20 million below the request because it did npt approve the budget proposal to allow senior volunteers to give their education awards to a child. This issue is in the Finance Committee's jurisdiction. AMERICORPS --For AmeriCorps grants, the committee provided $290 million, $112 million below the request. The committee maintains the existing formula for large cap-mid cap-small cap distribution for AmeriCorps Grants: that one-third goes to National Direct organizations (large cap/blue chips) and two-thirds goes to State Commissions (mid caps). For the small caps, the committee created a new $10 million pot within Innovation Activities that is for small, entrepreneurial organizations that have the potential to become the "National Directs of the future." LEARN AND SERVE -- $4 7 million -- $4 million above the request and the 02 level. CNILIAN COMMUNITY CORPS -- Funded at the FY 2002 level of $25 million, a decrease of $10 million from the budget request. The committee does not approve the opening of two new campuses, but rather, asks for a comprehensive, strategic expansion plan that can be considered next year. POINTS OF LIGHT -- $10 million for Points of Light as requested in the budget. Other organizations that have requested earmarked funding are included in the Challenge Grants. CHALLENGE GRANTS -- $33 million, a $23 million increase over the budget request. These are grants that will go to nationally recognized organizations who provide a dollar for dollar match of private funding. The committee did not fund the request of $7.5 million for America's Promise. Instead, the committee directed that they are eligible to compete for Challenge Grants.

This recommendation is being made due to the change in Michigan's administration. The process for seeking nominations and selecting winners would need to begin before the new governor takes office.

The staff reviewed those guidelines with the programs on the December program director conference call. Formula renewal applications were due to MCSC by AprilS, 2002. The MCSC conducted a staff review of all applications. Applicants were provided written feedback that included any necessary revisions. All revisions are due to MCSC by May 3, 2002. The staff will review all of the revisions to ensure all issues are addressed. Assuming all identified issues are addressed, the staff makes the following recommendations: Please note that the average federal cost per full-time equivalent (FTE) AmeriCorps member may not exceed $12,400. Therefore, for programs that requested funds that exceeded the $12,400 figure were asked to revise their budget. If a program is in its first three years of operation, they were asked to reduce the FTE cost to $12, 600. All other programs are expected to be at the $12,4 00 figure. . �Renewal Applicants 1) The staffrecommends renewal funding at the recommended amount for the following applicant: Legal Applicant Funding Requested Funding Recommend Branch Intermediate School District Camp Fire Boys and Girls West Michigan Council Creston Neighborhood Association The Guidance Center Habitat for Humanity Michigan Ionia Intermediate School District Marquette-Alger Regional Education Services Agency Michigan Institute for Nonviolence Education SOS Crisis Center Underground Railroad $131,302 $126,000 10 # of #of #of Reduce Quarter Min Time Time HT 0 0 0 0 $187,540 $176,400 12 4 0 0 0 $146,662 $146,662 12 0 0 0 0 $261,593 $252,000 14 4 0 12 5 $402,807 $402,807 21 15 0 16 0 $155,969 $151,200 12 0 0 0 0 $192,200 $192,200 13 5 0 0 0 $649,875 $644,800 52 0 0 0 0 $120,455 $120,455 6 8 0 0 0 $186,000 $186,000 14 2 0 0 0 #of FT #of HT �VFW National Home for Children Volunteer Muskegon Wayne Metropolitan Community Service Agency Young Detroit Builders Total $127,752 $126,000 6 4 0 4 5 $186,538 $186,538 13 2 0 0 6 $128,360 $126,000 6 7 0 0 3 $173,602 $173,602 13 2 0 0 0 $3,050,655 $3,010,664 204 53 0 32 19 � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Michigan's AmeriCorps Michigan 's AmeriCorps FY 2002- 03 Application Process In December, the MCSC issued the renewal application guidelines to all of the current programs. The guidelines were discussed on the December program director conference call. The formula renewal applications were due on April5, 2002. The staff is in the process of finalizing the review. The staff recommendations for the formula renewals will be presented at the April 29th commission meeting. They will be emailed to you in advance of the meeting. Hard copies of the staff recommendations will be handed out at the meeting. Michigan Civilian Conservation Corps We were notified in April that the Michigan Civilian Conservation Corps (MCCC) would not be reapplying for the education award AmeriCorps program. MCCC had the opportunity to be part ofthe National Association of Service and Conservation Corps' (NASCC) Education Award AmeriCorps program and have decided to do so. They are facing significant budget cuts and staff reductions and felt it would be less cumbersome to be part ofNASCC' s AmeriCorps program as NASCC can handle much of the administration load .. This loss translates into a reduction of270 AmeriCorps slots (a combination of full- and part-time slots) for the state or 182.5 full-time equivalent (FTE) slots. This will have implications for the state as the MCCC AmeriCorps program helped to reduce the overall full-time equivalent cost per member for the state. We are required to have an average FTE cost of $12,300 or less for the current program MCSC 's Program Division Report -April 15, 2002 �year and $12,400 for FY 2003. Currently, our FTE rate is $8,961 (this figure includes the MCCC program). The FTE rate for the state without the MCCC program is $11,865. We are reevaluating the grantees' 2003 proposed budgets to ensure that we will be able to meet the $12,400 requirement. Michigan 's AmeriCorps Signature Project It is time for our annual Michigan's AmeriCorps Signature Service Project. This year we will be partnering with the Volunteer Muskegon AmeriCorps program and several community organizations for the project. The Signature Project will take place on May 10 - 11, 2002. We have nearly 400 AmeriCorps members registered to participate in the event. The members will gather on May lOth at Grand Valley State University for a day of training and community orientation. On May 11th, the nearly 400 members will fan out across Muskegon for a day of service. MCSC Commissioners are encouraged to attend the event. Attached you will find the media advisory and a registration form. Ifyou plan to attend please complete the registration form and return it by April 29, 2002.

Any prosperous person, organization, or nation must be able to find ways to overcome tragedy with triumph . As AmeriCorps members, we see such victories everyday, in the people we serve, and within ourselves. In response to the disasters in 2001, our nation ' s leaders immediately began to search for sources of strength within our borders. It didn ' t take them long to recognize that AmeriCorps programs throughout the country have become just that. The individual work we do, even if with just one person at a time, is making a difference and improving the lives of people throughout Our work as AmeriCorps members is an example of what makes the greatness of our nation unparalleled . In our President' s January 29 111 State of the U nion address, he specifically acknowledged AmeriCorps ' significance. In a call to all Americans to serve th eir nation, plans were announced to expand AmeriCorps and similar national programs to 200,000 members. An important factor to note in the President's support of AmeriCorps is that both Democrats and Republicans are behind such measures. With the future of AmeriCorps no longer a partisan issue, the question we are asking ourselves now is not " How long will AmeriCorps last," but " How much can AmeriCorps do?'' As members today, it is up to us to show that what we can do for • Future ofAmeriCorp s the nation tomorrow has no • Individual Program limits. The focus of theReadingCorps is to improve the literacy of children in Ionia County. However, they also get involved with community service projects. In December, they worked with the Ionia County FIA to make Christmas a little brighter for some area children . The program allowed children in need to go "Christmas shopping" free of charge. FIA had a room in their facility organized with a variety of gifts for the whole family. Each participating child was able to choose one Christmas present for each member of his or her immediate family. ReadingCorps members assisted with children in choosing their gifts, and also helped with the gift wrapping . When their shopping was complete, each child visited Santa, and received a special gift. The ReadingCorps and other dedicated volunteers spent five hours taking children through the "store." Last year there were less than 300 children who participated . This year people had to be sent away after 400 numbers were given out. It was an especially sad economic indicator.

Groundwater also recharges our surface waters, which are used for drinking, as well as habitat for fish and other creatures in rivers, streams and lakes. Preventing groundwater contamination is necessary to sustain our health and quality of life here in the Great Lakes State. This explains why the Michigan Groundwater Stewardship Program (MGSP) is important. The MGSP employs AmeriCorps members all over the state from Marquette to Detroit, in big cities and small villages. The AmeriCorps members help individuals identify and reduce groundwater contamination risks associated with daily activities in and around their home. Activities that may cause drinking water contamination include: over application of lawn and garden chemicals, improper disposal of hazardous household chemicals, improperly maintained septic systems, and improper disposal and handling of liquid fuels. .. Through public education and awareness the MGSP AmeriCorps is helping individuals protect groundwater and safeguard the state's fresh water resource.

Salas Program Development Coordinator Jeanine Yard Program Development Coordinator �Transforming Vision Into Action: Policy and Leadership for ServiceLearning Sustainability This year, join your colleagues from across the state, June 17-19 at the Sheraton Hotel in Lansing, Michigan, as we engage in thought-provoking dialogues and strategic planning around policy and leadership in service-learning. Background: What is the Transforming Vision Into Action: Policy and Leadership for Service-Learning Sustainability Symposium? In 2001 , states from around the country were convened to discuss strategies and challenges in developing policy and improving leadership for service-learning. The event was designed so that teams from each state could envision and develop sound action plans for sustaining the practice of service-learning in their states. A part of Michigan' s strategy was to assist local districts in taking similar steps. This symposium offers local districts the opportunity to bring teams of up to five individuals to develop their own strategies. Who Should Attend? Service-Learning coordinators from across the state are invited to attend along with four key leaders of their choice. Teams might include teachers, building administrators, curriculum directors, parents, students, community partners or others committed to the program. Consider who in your district can be most effective in expanding the reach of service-learning within the next 18-36 months . How Will Teams Benefit? Local teams will have ample opportunity to develop specialized and specific plans for building service-learning practices that last. You will meet new colleagues and old friends . You will build relationships both with people from other districts and within your own, establishing a network for the work you do. Along the way, you'll have opportunities to learn more about service-learning, as well as the ins and outs ofpolicymaking, funding, marketing, and networking. You will hear from others about ways you can influence other education leaders to help you advance service-learning and your team will craft a vision for the future and a specific plan to achieve that vision. What are the Participant Costs? Symposium Fees are underwritten by the Michigan Community Service Commission through a Corporation for National and Community Service grant from the Michigan Department of Education. The symposium is open to any district but priority will be given to Learn and Serve Michigan School-Based programs. Please contact Angelia Salas or Jeanine Yard to inquire about costs for non-grantee schools. All teams are responsible for the costs of their travel, dinners, incidentals and leisure costs. Double occupancy lodging will be provided. �What Should We Do Before Our Team Arrives? Upon confirmation, teams will receive Service-Learning and School Improvement Self Assessment surveys for each team member to complete. The surveys are brief, but will help you develop a common understanding of your districts' assets and challenges in supporting servicelearning. Additionally, make sure your team members have a basic knowledge of servicelearning and a willingness to engage in discussions of policy and leadership. Team surveys will be mailed to you May 13, 2002. How Do We Register? Determine interested team members.

Following are the highlights· of this meeting. New MCSC Logo The Committee selected and approved a new MCSC logo (attached). Next steps for staff in the logo development are selecting the color (a shade of blue), receiving the electronic versions for use in publications, web site, etc., and determining how it will be used on letterhead, business cards, etc. Action Item - The committee will be asking for Commissioner approval of the new logo at the April29, 2002 meeting. MCSC Marketing Plan The committee discussed the draft of the MCSC Marketing Plan and agreed that it is on track to achieve the MCSC public relations and communication goals. It is a comprehensive, multi-year program with both short and long-term objectives. The Marketing Plan (attached) covers seven action areas: research, marketing communications, internal communications, legislature relations, nonprofit community relations, media relations, and evaluation of results. The next steps in development of the plan are: 1. Determining the priorities in each action area of the marketing plan. 2. Developing the marketing plan tirneline. This will be a multi-year timetable for implementation, with a detailed timetable and action items for the first year. 3. Developing a detailed budget for the first year of the marketing plan. 4. Creating an effective system for monitoring the results of the marketing plan based upon the priorities. �At the upcoming Commission meeting on April 29, 2002, the Outreach Committee will be seeking additional feedback from commissioners on the marketing plan. AmeriCorps Signature Service Project Update The AmeriCorps Signature Service Project is being held in Muskegon on May 10-11, 2002 . The MCSC is assisting Muskegon's AmeriCorps program as needed with public relations and legislators relations. The Signature Service Project begins with a day of training for the approximately 300 AmeriCorps members from across the state who are participating in the event. On Saturday, May 11th' the AmeriCorps members will be partnering with community volunteers to complete community service projects in the Muskegon area. Press kits have been developed by the staff in Muskegon and have been distributed to key television, radio, and print media. The Muskegon Chronicle, the daily newspaper, has confirmed that they will cover the story. MCSC staff will be available on site to assist with media relations. The Muskegon AmeriCorps staff is also sending invitations to federal, state, and local public officials. The MCSC will send follow up letters encouraging participation, assist with follow up phone calls prior to the event, and provide support with on-site legislator relations. MCSC Commissioners are invited and encouraged to participate in the event. Governor's Service Awards- Legislator Update This year there are over 20 legislators planning to attend the Governor's Service Awards (GSA), which is more than have attended in past years. Last year eight legislators attended the dinner. For this reason, we have decided to have a Legislator Registration table to assist legislators in connecting with their constituents who are GSA finalists. Paula Kaiser will serve as a "legislator greeter" to help facilitate the process. At the MCSC meeting on April29 1h, a roster of Legislators attending will be distributed to commissiOners. 2 �MICHIGAN * .... ~~ ,.,,... ; ' • A"" '1- -:;""<'• ~ ..,._ ~ COMMUNITY SERVICE COMMISSION MICHIGAN COMMI.H1Y SERVICE COMMISSION Version E �7th Draft: 4/15102 -version 4.3 UPDATED MARKETING PLAN FOR MICHIGAN COMMUNITY SERVICE COMMISSION I. INTRODUCTION The Michigan Community Service Commission (MCSC) recently became aware of its need for a Marketing Plan and communication strategy primarily due to the re-focusing of its work as a grantmaker and the changing political climate. In October 2001 a business coaching firm was retained to coach the MCSC through the process of evaluating its marketing needs and developing a Marketing Plan that clearly defines and incorporates the MCSC's mission and vision. One of the first tasks undertaken was a survey of the staff and commissioners on a variety of topics, from the effectiveness of current marketing efforts to recommendations for the future. There was a consensus between both groups that the MCSC currently gains little recognition for its efforts or the results of its hard work outside of grantees and/or the programs that MCSC administers directly. Neither staff nor commissioners feel they receive adequate information about the results of the agency's marketing efforts. Both groups believe the MCSC could use its resources more wisely to give the commission positive exposure with key targets, such as state legislators. The following Marketing Plan was developed to respond to these findings, input from MCSC senior staff, and renewed federal government emphasis on volunteerism and volunteer programs. Highlights of the Plan include: • Redefinition of the mission and messages of the MCSC in language that is easily understood by target markets, including legislators, grantees, and other state agencies • A strong initial focus on internal communications programs, especially in the training of staff and commissioners in recognition of their role as ambassadors for the MCSC • MCSC staff and commissioners will play an active, ongoing role in the implementation of the marketing plan • Creation of more powerful communications tools to achieve marketing objectives, such as a new logo, internal and external newsletters, an updated media database, and outreach activities to put MCSC commissioners in more frequent contact with legislators and other target markets • Training of grantee organizations in how to portray the MCSC to their constituents and how to attain better media coverage of their events and programs • Development of productive recruiting programs for both grantees and members of select grantee programs, such as AmeriCorps • Establishment of an ongoing evaluation system, to monitor how effective the MCSC is in reaching its marketing goals • Implementation, oversight, and ongoing evaluation of the marketing plan will be the full-time responsibility of an MCSC staff member. 1 �The following Marketing Plan is an overview of a comprehensive, multi-year program with both short and long-term objectives. Please note that recommended actions are followed by the specific Objectives (numbered) and Target Markets (lettered) they address. The final version of the marketing plan will include detailed Budget and Timeline that will include priorities, goals, and a detailed action steps for the first year of the Plan' s implementation. II. OBJECTIVES A majority of the state legislators on the Appropriations Committee understand and support the work oftheMCSC 2. Each MCSC staff member and commissioner understands and can articulate the organization's mission and priorities, and carries out a specific role in the implementation of the marketing plan 3. State and federal legislators and their staffs are familiar with the work of the MCSC and with grantees, award recipients, etc. in their district 4. The MCSC is seen by state and federal legislators, media, state agencies, and the social sector (including nonprofit organizations, schools, National Service programs, etc.) as an expert grant maker and resource on effective volunteer programs and information on volunteerism 5. The MCSC's grantee recruitment efforts result in all available funding being granted to qualified Michigan programs annually 6. MCSC institutes a recruitment program that supports AmeriCorps grantees in increasing the number of members they recruit each year 1. Ill. TARGET MARKETS A. MCSC staff B. MCSC commissioners C.

CONCLUSION The MCSC marketing plan outlined above is a comprehensive, multi-year program and successful implementation relies on the active involvement of MCSC staff and commissioners. The marketing plan is a multi-tiered approach focusing on the following action areas: research, marketing communications, internal communications, legislature relations, nonprofit community relations, and media relations. As a result of this plan, the MCSC will: • Have stronger relationships with Michigan legislators, state departments, media, and nonprofit organizations. • Have staff members and commissioners who serve as ambassadors for MCSC internally and externally. • Be viewed as an expert grantmaker and resource on effective volunteer programs and information. • More effectively assist its grantees with member recruitment and media and legislative relations. • Use consistent language and graphic designs in all brochures, newsletters, news releases, presentations, etc. that clearly defines the mission, role, and operations of the MCSC. The next steps in the development of the marketing plan are outlined below. 1. Determine the priorities in each action area of the marketing plan (research, marketing communications, internal communications, legislature relations, nonprofit community relations, and media relations). 2. Develop the marketing plan timeline. This will be a multi-year timetabl.e for implementation, with a detailed timetable and action items for the first year. 3. Develop a detailed budget for the first year of the marketing plan. 4. Develop an effective system for monitoring the results of the marketing plan based upon the priorities. The implementation of the marketing plan will happen concurently with the continued development of the plan. Identified priorities in each action area of the plan (research, marketing communications, internal communications, legislature relations, nonprofit community relations, and media relations) will be implemented simultaneously. (Note - Conclusion statement will be revised with the further development of the marketing plan.) 6 � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Giving and Volunteering In Michigan In partnership with the Council of Michigan Foundations (CMF) and Michigan Nonprofit Association (MNA), the MCSC commissioned a survey conducted by the Michigan State University Institute for Public Policy and Social Research. This survey studied giving and volunteering practices of Michiganians. The key points resulting from this survey were distributed in November and a comprehensive report will be unveiled at the Volunteerism SuperConference on April 29-30, 2002 at the Lansing Center. The survey was of978 Michigan residents and has a 3.1% margin of error. In essence, this survey results reflects J>ost-September 11th statistics. Seventy of the 978 surveys were completed prior to September 11 . The survey was then stopped for approximately two weeks and then continued at the end of September and into October. Make A Difference Day Make A Difference Day (MD Day) is Saturday, October 26, 2002. Upon the recommendation and support of the MDDay partner organizations, the MCSC is making a shift in its promotion of MDDay by going to an all-electronic format. This means that the MD Day planning packets that used to be printed and mailed to individuals and organizations throughout Michigan will now be available on our website. (Upon request, we will mail information to individuals who do not have access to the internet.) In addition, all MDDay participants in Michigan will be encouraged to register their project on the national website at www.makeadifferenceday.com. The MCSC will be available to answer questions and assist individuals regarding MDDay activities. 2 �MYPAC The MCSC is currently assessing the ongoing role ofMYPAC in promoting and supporting young people in leadership roles in relation to the work of the MCSC.

Until this process has been completed, we will not be seeking additional MYP AC membership.

While following President Bush's activities today at an emergency shelter in Philadelphia where he espoused the merits of the USA Freedom Corps, Russell G. Mawby, chair of the Michigan Community Service Commission, said, "Strengthening communities and addressing local needs through volunteer service is at the heart of our mission. We commend President Bush for his commitment and diligence in creating the Freedom Corps and encourage him to rely on the expertise of state and local organizations during its development." The USA Freedom Corps calls for an unprecedented expansion of volunteer programs, including a new Citizen Corps to support homeland security, an increase in the Peace Corps for overseas service, and an expansion of Senior Corps and AmeriCorps programs. The Michigan Community Service Commission (MCSC) currently funds 26 Michigan's AmeriCorps programs to engage more than 900 individuals (called AmeriCorps members) in community service activities statewide. Last year, a similar number of AmeriCorps members recruited an average of 15 volunteers each to assist them with tutoring and mentoring children; conserving and preserving Michigan's natural resources; teaching parenting skills to teen mothers; engaging children in successful conflict resolution; meeting the needs of the hungry and homeless. The MCSC also provides funding for programs that encourage schoolaged youth to serve their community and provides capacity-building grants for volunteer resource centers. "Societies change one heart, one soul, one conscience at a time," Bush said during a round-table discussion on the merits of community service. The USA Freedom Corps will help focus our nation, our state, and our communities on the role each of us can play to make each Michigan neighborhood a safe and healthy place to live, learn, and grow. ### The Michigan Community Service Commission is a state agency that supports service and vo1unteerism in Michigan. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

What is Learn and Serve- Michigan? The Learn and Serve-Michigan SB grant program is part of the Learn and Serve America program for school age youth supported by the Corporation for National and Community Service. The Learn and Serve America program funds and assists in the development of high quality service-learning programs in K-12 schools and in community-based organizations. Grants provide funding for servicelearning programs that address local needs in the areas of education, public safety, human needs, and/or the environment. Service-learning is a teaching and learning approach that connects meaningful service to the community with classroom instruction that enriches learning, teaches civic responsibility and fosters personal growth. Service-learning helps youth see beyond the classroom, and into the community where they learn math, science, language arts, and other required subjects by addressing community needs and solving real-life problems. Who are we? The MCSC is the administrative agent for Learn and Serve- Michigan. The MCSC's mission is to enable all citizens, including youth, to engage in public problem solving through service and volunteerism. The MCSC works to fulfill its mission through a number of programs, projects, and activities focused on service and volunteerism. Annually, the MCSC distributes $8.5 million in national service and volunteerism grants and recognizes exemplary volunteers through the Governor's Service Awards and Make a Difference Day. The MDE is Michigan's partner in the Learn and Serve-Michigan SB grant program. MDE believes that Michigan's K-12 education will ensure that all students will develop their potential in order to lead productive and satisfying lives. All students will engage in challenging and purposeful learning that blends their experiences with content knowledge and real-world applications in preparation for their adult roles, which include becoming: literate individuals, healthy and fit people, responsible family members, productive workers, involved citizens, self-directed, lifelong learners. Established in 1993, CNCS engages more than a million Americans each year in service to their communities by providing a way to solve community problems. CNCS works with government appointed state commissions, state education agencies, nonprofits, faith-based groups, schools, and other civic organizations to provide opportunities for Americans of all ages to serve their communities. CNCS's three major service initiatives include AmeriCorps, Learn and Serve America, and the National Senior Service Corps. Why should my school apply for Learn and Serve - Michigan SB funding? If your school currently places a strong emphasis on connecting academic learning to real life problem solving and you see the value of engaging youth in service to their community, then this is an excellent opportunity to establish or expand service-learning in your school district. Service-learning has been shown to enhance students' motivation to learn, increase attendance and reduce dropout rates. �Who is eligible to apply? Local public school districts, intermediate school districts, and public and private school academies are eligible to apply for Learn and Serve - Michigan funds. What are the responsibilities of operating a Learn and Serve-Michigan SB grant? Responsibilities of operating a Learn and Serve Michigan SB program include: • What is the grant amount?

In order to meet the varying needs of school districts there are two types of grants available: Planning and Implementation. The MCSC funds planning grants, in the amount of $8 000 to school districts who have never received ' ' Learn and Serve - Michigan funding in order to develop a plan to integrate service-learning throughout the district. Implementation grants, in the amount of $20,000, are given to schools to assist in the expansion of quality service-learning practice. What can Learn and Serve - Michigan SB funds support? Learn and Serve-Michigan SB funds can be used to support the expenses associated with integrating service-learning throughout the district. This may include, but is not limited to, advisory board development, teacher in-services, other professional development opportunities, peer exchanges, supplies and materials, and conference attendance. Is there a match requirement? All applicants are required to provide a one-to-one match. Therefore, applicants must provide $1 .00 of match for every $1.00 requested. Match funds may be in-kind or cash and come from federal and nonfederal sources. What are the Learn and Serve - Michigan funding priorities? The MCSC will consider funding schools whose goal is to provide students with sequential servicelearning experiences so that at a minimum all students will have at least one service-learning experience at the elementary, middle school, and high school levels. School districts will also design service-learning programs to address core and noncore curriculum standards.

Debrief of 101h Anniversary Celebration Commissioner Pruitt made a special thank-you to Commissioner Pickard and GM and Dow Corning for their support in printing the 101h Anniversary Celebration brochures. Commissioner Pruitt asked that we go around the table so that all commissioners could provide feedback on the MCSC 101h Anniversary Celebration event this morning. Overall commissioners felt the event went very well. Some commissioners thought that sending personal notes to all the legislators whether they attended or not would be a good idea. All the commissioners felt that having the MCSC programs on display was a great idea and the programs did a great job showcasing their programs. Some other ideas were to hold the event during National Volunteer Week. Serve a bag lunch. Provide more program displays. Publicize the date of next year's event early and maybe even two years out. Have more contact 3 �with legislator so that more attend. Send reminder notes out a week or few days earlier or even that morning when they are going into sessions. Figure a way to get legislators more involved with the program presentations and maybe have legislators make presentations directly to the programs. Get more legislators staffers to the event. Provide some kind of little gift like a little red wagon or the MCSC button and invite more media for more public acknowledgement. Commissioner Pickard suggested that we invite legislators to the MCSC commissioner retreat and also invite them to our quarterly commission meeting. Mr. Caldwell also stated that during his recent visit to Washington, DC, he did hill visits to promote service-learning, and suggested that we might do the same type of visit to our legislators to promote service overall in Michigan. Commissioner Swain suggested that maybe the commissioners talk to legislators and give them a plaque when they go above and beyond to help promote service in Michigan; an award that might be called a "Champion ofVolunteerism".
