It will also provide leadership in the community to heighten awareness of and strengthen opposition to domestic violence. STRENGTHS • The need for the proposed program was clearly described. • The proposal provides a clear and complete description of how the members will be utilized to improve the effectiveness of existing support to victims of domestic violence. • The proposal addresses a current gap in services to victims of domestic violence. The corpsmembers will help bridge this gap while fostering a greater collaboration among service providers. • The program has a well developed safety protocol plan to ensure members are not in danger at any time. • The program proposes a very comprehensive training for the corpsmembers.

The primary goal of the program is to decrease the incidence of aggression, assault and violence within the school environment. Members will be individually placed and will implement violence prevention programs such as "Teaching Students to be Peacemakers," Peer Empowerment, Peer Mediation and Peer Helper. It is anticipated that each site may have unique needs that can be addressed by the AmeriCorps members, but the focus will remain violence prevention and conflict resolution. STRENGTHS • The need within the school community was well documented with data and statistics. Also, it was clear what role the AmeriCorps members will play in meeting the needs. • The proposal includes a well developed plan for recruiting and supervising the members. • Even though the members will be individually placed, the program will establish a common understanding of roles and expectations between corpsmembers and the on-site supervisors. • The program has a strong plan to integrate members into the school system. • The member training is broad-based and uses community experts from various fields with the ISD. • The program will have an advisory committee with broad community representation. The committee will help connect other community efforts to the services being proved by the AmeriCorps members. • The proposal incorporates the AmeriCorps program into Char-Em ISD's existing evaluation system with an emphasis on continuous improvement. • Char-Em ISD provides strong administrative support for the program. • The proposal demonstrates that Char-Em ISD has the organizational capacity to coordinate the program and administer the grant. • The FfE rate for this program is $11,245 which is lower than the MCSC and CNS target of $11,250. WEAKNESSES • Getting Things Done Objective #1, Member Development Objective #1, Member Development Objective #2, and Community Strengthening Objective #3 need to be revised. • The proposal did not describe how "it will involve corpsmembers in recruiting and coordinating nonstipended community volunteers. • The proposal needs to elaborate on efforts to build community support for the program beyond the grant funding cycle. 1998-99 FUNDING REQUEST: $191,159 STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS Staff recommends that this proposal be included in the formula package for submission to CNS. �MICHIGAN COMMUNITY SERVICE COMMISSION Proposal Review Form DATE: April 24, 1998 GRANT CATEGORY: Michigan's AmeriCorps LEGAL APPLICANT: Creston Neighborhood Association NUMBER OF 1998-99 AMERICORPS STATE MEMBERS: 5 Ff _ _ _ PT _ _ 2YR.PT _ _Summer Only DESCRIPTION The Creston Community Action Corps is designed to more fully engage neighborhood residents in the leadership of five community institutions: three public schools, a community health care center, and a neighborhood association. Five Michigan's AmeriCorps members will be trained in community organizing and will recruit, train, and engage 170 neighborhood volunteers to mentor 90 educationally at-risk students, assist 30 low-income households in adopting pre-identified health maintenance practices, and bring five properties owned by low-income residents into compliance with city housing and nuisance codes. STRENGTHS • The proposal demonstrated the need for the program. • The program aims to generate 170 new community volunteers to provide needed services in the neighborhood. • The program is geographically concentrated in the Creston neighborhood. • The program has a strong recruitment and member development plan. • The applicant organization is well connected to a variety of state and national initiatives and has the ability to connect them in a coordinated fashion. • The program will be connected to America's Promise and other MCSC and CNS programs. • The applicant organization has previous experience administering federal and MCSC grants. • The applicant organization has a proven history of generating funds. They receive a variety of support from diverse sources. • The proposal provided a clear plan for sustainability for the program. WEAKNESSES • The program coordinator position will be part-time. • The program needs to revise the community strengthening objectives. Currently, they are the same as the direct service objectives. • The program needs to better develop the volunteer generation plan. • The FfE rate for this program is $11,946 which is slightly higher than the MCSC and CNS target of $11,250. 1998-99 FUNDING REQUEST: $59,732 STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS Staff recommends that this proposal be included in the formula package for submission to CNS . �Michigan Community Service Commission Proposal Review Form DATE: April 24, 1998 GRANT CATEGORY: Michigan's ArneriCorps LEGAL APPLICANT: Every Woman ' s Place, Inc. Number of 1998-99 ArneriCorps State Members: -~5- FT PT _ _ _ 2Yr.PT Summer Only DESCRIPTION: STRENGTHS: • The proposal provided a list of member service activities. • The proposal describes a plan for host site preparation. • The member training was laid out and seemed appropriate for the service activities. • It is good that there will be weekly group sessions among the corpsmembers. • There is evidence of a good community network/collaborative. • The staff is experienced. • The applicant organization has identified the sources that will provide the fmancial match. • The proposal provided good ideas and a strategy for creating an identity and presence for the program within the community. WEAKNESSES: • Considering the proposed size of the program (a low number of members are being requested), it is not clear what value the AmeriCorps members' service will add. It appears that the members will simply augment current staff. • It is not clear how the proposed service activities differ from the existing services currently provided by volunteers and staff. • The need statement was somewhat vague. The proposal needed to describe the need within the community rather than detailing the existing services that are being provided. For example, provide the percentage of those abused in the community, the number currently not being served, the need for additional support services, etc. • The paper does not describe the measurable impact of the program on the identified need and how the community will be improved as a result of the proposed program. • The impact of the program should focus on the improvement of client behavior (as a result of the corpsmembers' service) rather than an enhanced evaluation system. Although the members can play a limited role in documenting services delivered, it is not appropriate for them to conduct the program's evaluation. • The applicant did not detail the skills members will need to possess to perform their service activities. • It is unclear how community volunteers are currently used within the organization and how the corpsmembers will support this. • Please elaborate on how the program will link the service projects to other existing efforts. Also, please elaborate on the joint recruitment as described in the Concept Paper. The proposal needs to discuss the existing partnerships that Every Woman's Place has • within the community. How are these partnerships being tapped with regard to the proposed program? Additionally, as the members provide rnentoring and tutoring services, is it possible that other non profits may be able to assist with the training, curriculum, etc.? • Although the proposal briefly describes the evaluation tools to be used, the paper does not describe the overall system that will be used to monitor progress toward the program's armual objectives. The applicant did not elaborate on the tools/methods to be used to �• • • • • • • • evaluate the program. The proposal did not describe how regular feedback will be obtained from the primary stakeholders and used to improve the overall quality of the program. The paper does not describe how the program will incorporate continuous improvement as a primary component. The proposal indicates that the objectives for the corpsmembers are already established. It appears, however, that these are overall objectives for Every Woman's Place. The program needs objectives and member service activities that are specific to the proposed program. The size and structure of the applicant organization and the relationship of the proposed program within that structure is unclear. The applicant did not identify the federal grants that the applicant organization has administered. The paper did not describe what plans exist to exceed the match and how the work of the program will continue beyond the grant term. There appears to be good community support for Every Woman's Place, however, it is not clear what support will be provided for the proposed program and the program's objectives. The program's cost per full-time equivalent (FTE) member is above the MCSC and CNS target of $11,250. 1998-99 FUNDING REQUEST: $62,631 STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS: The staff does not recommend that the proposal be included in the CNS formula funding package. �Michigan Community Service Commission Proposal Review Form DATE: April24, 1998 LEGAL APPLICANT: GRANT CATEGORY: Michigan's AmeriCorps Lutheran Social Services Number of 1998-99 AmeriCorps Members: --~2=0~__FT_______ 1 Yr. PT 2 Yr. PT _ __ Summer Only DESCRIPTION: The AmeriCorps program would address unmet needs identified in a community assessement of Alger and Marquette counties. As a collaboration between eleven community non-profit agencies, the program would develop programs and activities that directly respond to the following objectives: building partnerships between schools, parents, and community; developing a human services database and community helpline; assisting with the implementation of the goals of the President's Summit and continuing with interagency efforts already underway to ensure the basic needs of Alger and Marquette county residents are met. STRENGTHS: • The proposal provided a well developed and organized program design. • The roles and responsibilities within the program are clear. • There appears to be strong collaboration with the HSCB and existing agencies in the community. • The needs assessment identified clear deficiencies in the community. • The proposal provided an extensive orientation and training plan for the members. • The use oft-shirts and business cards will help in creating a local identity for the program. • There appears to be an overall awareness that program stakeholder need to be involved in the evaluation process. • The applicant organization has existing relationships with partner organizations. • The applicant organization has previous experience in administering an Michigan's AmeriCorps program. • The partner organizations will contribute the financial match required for the program. WEAKNESSES: • The proposed program's focus was extremely broad. It was not clear how the proposed activities fit under the human service need area. • The proposal proposes a potpourri of activity with very little overall program focus . The applicant needed to narrow the scope of the program activity. It appears as if the program would allow any agency to have members with little attention given to overall program focus. • The paper did not describe the measurable impact of the program on the community need and how the community will be improved as a result of the program. • The corpsmembers were spread too thin across the various program objectives. Members assigned to the same site may be involved in a different service activities. This presented a concern regarding overall program impact. As a result, the program would not have a significant impact in a need area with the proposed program design. • Additionally, the proposed design and structure of the program would create an administrative overload (i.e. evaluation, supervision, training, etc.) • The proposal did not to describe the role of each agency in the program. • In reviewing the proposal, it was not clear how the program would provide for effective �• • • • • • • • • collaboration considering the members each serve at separate sites providing very distinct services. Proposal did not elaborate on the linkages between the proposed program and other MCSC and CNS programs. The paper did not describe how regular feedback would be obtained from the primary stakeholders and used to improve the overall quality of the program. It was not clear how often individual sites would be monitored. Who would monitor the sites? What are the consequences if a site was not making adequate progress or was not in compliance with the terms of the grant? It was not clear how the sites would report on their progress toward the program objectives. The proposal needed to describe a comprehensive evaluation system. The program proposed a very broad range of activities and the program will need to describe the overall evaluation system that ensures that evaluation is consistent across all sites. It is unclear what the proposed program's relationship to the overall structure of the applicant organization is. The proposal needed to describe the accomplishments and experience of the staff that would administer the proposed program. In reviewing the proposal, it was not clear that adequate staffing would be provided for the program. With the number of sites being proposed the program needs a full-time program coordinator. 1998-99 FUNDING REQUEST: $228,593 STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS: MCSC staff does not recommend that this proposal be included in the formula package for submission to CNS. �FORMULA RENEWAL �MICHIGAN COMMUNITY SERVICE COMMISSION Proposal Review Form DATE: April24, 1998 American Red Cross PROPOSAL: NUMBER OF GRANT CATEGORY: Michigan's AmeriCorps 1998-99 AMERICORPS MEMBERS: _ __,1=0_ _ Ff _ _ _ PT _ _ _ 2Yr.PT DESCRIPTION The primary focus of the AmeriCorps Youth Excellence in Service (YES) Program is the promotion of volunteerism among youth and generating youth to participate in community problem-solving. The program identifies and develops volunteer opportunities for 500 at-risk youth in Highland Park. AmeriCorps members work with community agencies to get youth involved in tutoring and mentoring, homework and reading projects, latchkey programs, HIV/AIDS education and outreach. The corpsmembers also support and recognize youth volunteer efforts. STRENGTHS • • • • • The program has made good progress recruiting volunteers to conduct peer tutorial programs. The program has identified problems with recruitment and retention of members. Strategies have been developed to rectify these problems. The program has good collaboration with the United Way to address member training objectives. Members have completed 17 hours of training in tutorial training, CPR training and junior achievement. The program has involved members and volunteers in service projects. The FfE rate for this program is $11,341. This is slightly higher than the MCSC and CNS . target. WEAKNESSES • • • • • • • • • Incomplete objective statements were submitted in the progress report. Recruitment activities of the members are not stated in the year 2/3 plan. The program needs to elaborate on the service activities of the members and the obstacles encountered in accomplishing activities. The applicant did not list progress toward or obstacles eoncountered in meeting their strengthening communities objectives. The program has submitted incomplete and insufficient data in the progress to date reports. Deadlines for reporting requirements have not been met on a consistent basis. Evaluation and continuous improvement were not addressed in the renewal application. Recruiting and training of members for year 2/3 were not addressed in the renewal application. Other accomplishments were not listed in the renewal application. The program has proposed a multi-site focus for year 2/3. MCSC feels that the AmeriCorps YES program has not shown adequate progress to sustain a multi-site program.

PT DESCRIPTION The Copper Country Arn.eriCorps program operates out of Baraga, Houghton, and Keweenaw counties in Michigan's Upper Peninsula. This is a multi-site program with 18 sites and 12 partner schools/agencies/non-profits. The program, through its Teen Initiative, engages area teens in educational programs, leadership training, mentoring programs, and employment opportunities. Through the Family Initiative, the program recruits teens for Friends of the Elderly, a volunteer program that serves the elderly, and facilitates parent education, provides child care, and introduces youth to the environmental history of the community. STRENGTHS • • • • • • • • The program has successfully documented its progress toward fulfilling its direct service objectives. AmeriCorps members have developed enrichment programs that had not previously existed in this rural area. The program has exceeded the target of providing 300 teens with recreational and educational opportunities to reduce teen substance abuse, juvenile delinquency, truancy and drop-outs. In the second quarter alone, 538 students have participated in regularly scheduled activities. Members have successfully recruited volunteers and trained them at the Center for Environmental Outreach to make classroom presentations to 510 students on environmental enrichment learning opportunities. Members have planned and coordinated a community-based, area-wide signature service project (Alcohol Free Weekend) involving over 100 businesses and 600 teens. This event helped the program secure additional grants from the Michigan Prevention Network. The program has a good monitoring system in place. Regular feedback from the primary stakeholders is incorporated to improve the overall quality of the program. Program design for year 2/3, builds on the successes of year 1. There is a strong program design in place for year 2/3. The FTE rate for this program is $11,150. This is below MCSC and CNS's targets.

PT ___Summer Only DESCRIPTION The program's mission is to improve the reading/writing performance of K-5 children through a tutoring/mentoring program, parental involvement, and community volunteerism. The goals of the program include increasing volunteer and parent participation in the literacy of children, establishing partnerships between institutions of higher education and the community, and promoting civic mindedness and community service among those involved in the program. STRENGTHS • To date, 177 kids have participated in the tutoring program at the school and community-based sites. • The program is in the process of developing the parent component. Two parent workshops will be conducted in the next quarter. • More than 100 pre-service teachers are serving as volunteer tutors at the school sites. • The program has received a limited amount of in-kind community support through the donations of items for the program. • In addition to the 100 pre-service teachers, the program has recruited 84 other volunteers. • The program has addressed many of challenges of a first year program. During the first two quarters the program has enhanced overall program development, the recruitment and retention of the members, the overall quality of the tutoring program, the overall quality of member development, the communication channels among staff and sites, and the parent component of the program. • The program has a broad understanding of MCSC' s overall evaluation expectations. They have collected all of the necessary information to report on the overall impact of the program at the end of the year. CONTINUOUS IMPROVEMENT ITEMS • The program cannot provide two-year part-time members with a living allowance. If you want to provide part-time members with a living allowance they must be one-year part-time members. • The program needs to elaborate on the overall monitoring plan. Please describe who is responsible for the monitoring and how often site visits will occur. • The program needs to describe how it will incorporate continuous improvement as a primary component throughout the program year. • The program FfE rate is $12,982 which is a $5,000 increase over last year. This is a result of eliminating the summer component and converting the one year part-time positions into two year parttime positions. The FfE rate must be reduced to last year's FfE rate. • The program needs to indicate if and when criminal background checks are performed. 1998-99 FUNDING REQUEST: $ 103,856 STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS Staff recommends that this proposal be included in the formula package submitted to the Corporation for National Service, provided the program fully addresses the issues outlined to them in the staff review feedback. �MICHIGAN COMMUNITY SERVICE COMMISSION Proposal Review Form DATE: April24, 1998 LEGAL APPLICANT: NUMBER OF GRANT CATEGORY: Michigan's AmeriCorps Fitzgerald's FOCUS 1998-99 AMERICORPS MEMBERS: -~1=0- Ff _ ____,4_ PT _ _ _ 2 Yr.

FOCUS will also design and implement programs that will involve 200 students in academic support, educational, and recreational activities. The program will also recruit 500 community volunteers to participate in community service activities and projects. STRENGTHS • • • The program has made every effort to address the Michigan Community Service Commission's concerns. To date, the program has taken the following steps: • Hired and trained a new program coordinator. • Provided an extensive program orientation to the site supervisors. • Strengthened member supervision and the lines of communication through increased number of site visits; youth member activity logs; and frequent and regular meetings among the members, site supervisors and program coordinator. The program has worked with Project STAR to clarify and strengthen their objectives. The program has enrolled 158 children to participate in its after-school program. This is more than 50% of the annual goal. WEAKNESSES • • • • • • It is not clear what role the AmeriCorps members will play in the program's efforts to support the America Reads initiative. The program needs to provide additional detail about the impact it hopes to have in this area. The program needs to strengthen its evaluation system. It is not clear how the program's evaluation system will access the quality of service delivered and the overall impact of the service provided. It is not clear how the program will obtain regular feedback from the primary stakeholders. It is not clear how continuous improvement will be incorporated as a primary component. Overall, the program needs to insure that their evaluation adequately captures their quantifiable and qualitative impact of the services rendered by the members. The program is currently working with Project STAR. Michigan Community Service Commission (MCSC) anticipates the program will continue to make improvements in this area. 1998-99 FUNDING REQUEST: $131,030 STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS While MCSC is pleased with the program's efforts to address the overall concerns, the program must continue to demonstrate progress during the current program year. Therefore, staff recommends provisional funding at the requested level. If the program does not address the outstanding concerns a new grant will not be issued. �MICHIGAN COMMUNITY SERVICE COMMISSION Proposal Review Form DATE: April24, 1998 GRANT CATEGORY: Michigan's ArneriCorps LEGAL APPLICANT: Grand Rapids Service Corps NUMBER OF 1998-99 23 AMERICORPS MEMBERS: FT _ _ _ PT _ _ _ 2Yr.PT ____ Summer Only DESCRIPTION The Grand Rapids Service Corps (GRSC) brings together young adults, ages 17-24, from diverse backgrounds for a challenging year of full-time community service. The GRSC, in cooperation with community and neighborhood organizations, will develop and implement service projects in order to build a stronger community and tap into the idealism and energy of corpsmembers to develop leadership skills, meet community needs, and generate a strong sense of civic responsibility. The GRSC is committed to having an impact on children in neighborhoods with disproportionate poverty, unemployment, and illiteracy rates. The teams will organize and facilitate homework groups, work with senior citizens who wish to continue living in their own homes, a violenceprevention program at Buchanan Elementary School (which has been plagued by playground and neighborhood conflicts) and neighborhood cleanup and restoration programs. STRENGTHS • • • • The members have provided 3,181 tutorial hours to 118 students in four schools. The FTE cost per member is $8,881. This is below the CNS and MCSC target of $11,250. The program has good member retention rates. The program has strong local support. CONTINUOUS IMPROVEMENT ITEMS • • • • • While the program has taken initial steps to address the Michigan Community Service Commission's (MCSC) ongoing concerns, there is still a real concern regarding overall program management. The program director appears overwhelmed with numerous fiscal, administrative, and programmatic responsibilities. Currently there is a part-time administrative assistant. This position will move to full-time status in the next quarter, but the program should seek additional support from the board members to resolve the organizational capacity issues. MCSC has arranged a meeting with the GRSC program staff to discuss these concerns and possible resolutions. Overall program reporting has been inadequate. Reports have arrived late and incomplete. The program needs to strengthen its evaluation system. The assessment tools need to provide more quantifiable information on the program impact. It is not clear how the program's evaluation system will access the quality of service delivered and determine stakeholder satisfaction. It is not clear how continuous improvement will be incorporated on an on-going basis. 1998-99 FUNDING REOUEST: $204,264 STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS Overall, the staff has serious concerns about this program. This program has been in operation for four years yet continues to have major administrative challenges. The program started the current program year in December 1997. Therefore, the staff would like to recommend provisional funding at the requested level, provided that the program continues to demonstrate progress in addressing MCSC' s concerns during its current grant year. If they do not address the concerns a new grant will not be issued. �MICHIGAN COMMUNITY SERVICE COMMISSION Proposal Review Form DATE: April24, 1998 PROPOSAL: GRANT CATEGORY: Michigan's AmeriCorps Michigan Communities in Schools NUMBER OF 1998-99 AMERICORPS MEMBERS: -~1-"'-1_ _ FT _ ___,4'------ 1 Yr.

MCIS is a statewide Michigan's ArneriCorps program serving in four counties. MCIS helps local communities to coordinate existing resources and reposition needed services into the schools to best meet the needs of youth. STRENGTHS • With the first two quarters of the program year completed, ArneriCorps members have provided tutorial assistance to 95 of the targeted 150 at- risk K-12 students in four counties. • The program has provided support to 189 students and 70 parents identified as having poor attendance. The program has exceeded their target of 40 students. • The program has worked with over 300 students getting them involved in service projects. The program has exceed their target of 200 students involved with service projects. • The program has recruited 91 volunteers in the first two quarters. This exceeds the expectation of 40 volunteers for the program year. • The program has reported 90 agencies, businesses, schools and organizations have been provided with information regarding local MCIS programs. This exceeds the target of 40 for the program year. • The program has been successful with capacity enrollment and retention of members. • The program has identified and addressed communication problems and has implemented corrective action plans. • There is a solid program monitoring system in place. • The FTE rate for this program is $11,216. This is below the MCSC and CNS average FrE. • Year 2/3 program design is solid and builds from year one. CONTINUOUS IMPROVEMENT ITEMS • Progress reported for the community strengthening objectives is vague. The program needs to elaborate on the activities/involvement of the corps members in the presentation of information to the community organizations. • It is not clear what progress has been made by the members to plan, design, and carry out a signature project at each of the MCIS sites. • The proposal did not describe how the program obtains regular feedback from the primary stakeholders and uses the feedback to improve overall quality of the program. • The proposal did not address training members in CPR, communication, and conflict resolution. 1998-99 FUNDING REQUEST: $145,820 STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS MCSC staff is satisfied with the overall quality and accomplishments of the program and recommends that the proposal be included in the formula package for submission to CNS. �MICHIGAN COMMUNITY SERVICE COMMISSION Proposal Review Form DATE: April24, 1998 GRANT CATEGORY: Michigan's AmeriCorps LEGAL APPLICANT: Michigan Nonprofit Association NUMBER OF 1998 - 1999 AMERICORPS STATE MEMBERS: 27 Fr _ _ _PT -"""'"'15"----_2. YR. PT _ _ _ _Summer Only DESCRIPTION The mission of the VCM AmeriCorps: Michigan's AmeriCorps program is to mobilize people and resources to deliver creative solutions to community problems. The program will enroll 27 fulltime and 15 two-year, part-time, education award only members who will serve statewide. The members will develop reading support programs for local elementary schools, spend 10% of their direct service hours with a partner agency addressing one of the five fundamental resources as identified by America's Promise, and involve a minimum of 20 youth and 20 senior volunteers in a local service activity. STRENGTHS • • • • • • Good evaluation system in place that gages progress throughout the program year. The applicant has clearly established that the local volunteer center is the member host site and that the center is ultimately responsible for the members' service and development. This is a very fundamental step in establishing effective monitoring, evaluation, and member development systems. In an effort to expand the program's impact and involvement within the local communities, the program has sponsored, and the members have participated in, a number of special events that have involved program partners and other community-based organizations, nonprofit organizations, etc. The national service manager (the person who coordinates the entire VCM AmeriCorps program) has completed a site visit to most host sites this quarter and will visit the remaining sites in the second quarter. Because of the large number of local host sites, MCSC staff feels that this shows a commitment on the part of the applicant to develop and maintain a quality monitoring system. The program has involved 977 volunteers in 2,845 hours of volunteer service. The program is addressing one of the five America's Promise goals. CONTINUOUS IMPROVEMENT ITEMS • • • • • The applicant and MCSC need to develop a plan to address the challenge of recruiting and retaining part-time Education Award Only (EAO) members. The applicant has stated that there has been difficulty in recruiting these EAO members. The applicant did not address the Ethic of Service, Leadership Opportunities, AmeriCorps on the Internet, or America Reads Initiative sections. FrE rate of $13, 556 is high. It is $2,000+ over the CNS and MCSC targeted average. The applicant will have to reduce the FrE rate to no more than $11,000. Because this is an application for year three of a three year grant, MCSC has reservations about the program bringing on 15 two-year members. How will this affect the members ability to complete their term of service? As the grant enters the third and final year, what are the plans for sustaining the effort beyond the grant period? �1998-99 FUNDING REQUEST $363,651 STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS Staff recommends that this proposal be included in the formula package for submission to CNS , provided the program fully addresses the issues outlined to them in the staff review feedback. �MICHIGAN COMMUNITY SERVICE COMMISSION Proposal Review Form DATE: April24, 1998 GRANT CATEGORY: Michigan's AmeriCorps LEGAL APPLICANT: New Detroit, Inc.

This mission, reflective of the AmeriCorps priority of public safety, will get things done, strengthen communities, encourage responsibility, and expand opportunities. STRENGTHS • • • • The AmeriCorps members implemented a service project this quarter in which they hosted a Teen Summit and Fellowship. The focus was to dialog with youth on issues of violence, crime, and fear. The program has been able to involve members from other AmeriCorps programs who have served with the program, on special events, as non-stipended volunteers. Bi-weekly meetings, including program staff and members, are conducted to accomplish four task: ongoing training of the members; program feedback, evaluation, and refmement; training in local community activity; and development of the AmeriCorps identity. The program works to reduce the levels of crime, violence and fear in and around seven schools. In addition, the program also helps the participating students to improve attendance rates and academic achievement. CONTINUOUS IMPROVEMENT • • • • • • • The Quarterly Report did not address the program's current retention rate, problems with it, how the program will make adjustments, etc. There were several questions posed in the Quarterly Report that were either not answered or were answered inadequately. The applicant will need to revise the report, providing complete and articulate answers to all of the questions. The applicant needs to provide more complete and quantitative information as to the how the program is meeting their objectives. The format for the 2/3 plan narrative, as clearly laid out in the AmeriCorps Renewal Application, was not followed. The applicant must follow the provided format. There were several questions posed in the 2/3 Year Plan that were either not answered or were answered inadequately. Again, the applicant should follow the format of the application making sure that each question posed in each section is answered.

PT _ _Summer Only DESCRIPTION The Dreamcatcher Volunteer Program focuses on providing independent living assistance to individuals with developmental disabilities in four counties in northern Michigan (Emmet, Charlevoix, Otsego, and Cheboygan). The program aims to increase the community's knowledge and understanding of individuals with developmental disabilities by involving persons with developmental disabilities more directly in community activities and by developing a circle of friends for the individual. The members will be matched with developmentally disabled individuals and will work to generate volunteers from the community to serve as activities companions for these individuals. STRENGTHS • To date, the members have been matched with 45 individuals with developmental disabilities. This surpasses the goal of 40 matches between members and individuals with disabilities. The members plan weekly community outings with their matches. • The members are currently working with the individuals with developmental disabilities to involve the individuals in five hours of community service. Many of the matches are exploring volunteer opportunities at the local hospitals, animal shelters, and the upcoming community paint blitz. • The biggest programmatic challenge for this year is member supervision. The program has revised how the members will be supervised next year. This should eliminate many of the problems experienced in the first year. CONTINUOUS IMPROVEMENT ITEMS • Overall the second quarterly report is extremely vague. The report needs to be revised to include more specific quantitative data that clearly articulates the progress being made toward meeting the program' s objectives (i.e. the number of matches, how many total contacts the members have had with the matches, the types of community outings, the impact/outcome of the outings, etc.) • The program is currently struggling with the overall impact evaluation of the program. They need to refme their evaluation plan to include impact information. • In reviewing the quarterly report, the volunteer recruitment piece was vague. This component is most critical to the overall sustainability of the program, yet it could be potentially lost within the members' other duties. The program will need to ensure that members spend ample time recruiting volunteers. • The program needs to develop a plan to generate more community buy-in for the program. Community buy-in will be a critical part of the overall sustainability of the program. • The Year 2/3 narrative did not address the ethic of service or leadership opportunities sections. • The FfE rate for the program is 11,865 which is higher than the MCSC and CNS target of $11,250 1998-99 FUNDING REQUEST: $71,194 STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS MCSC staff recommends that this proposal be included in the formula package for submission to CNS, provided that the program fully addresses the issues outlined in the staff review feedback. �MICHIGAN COMMUNITY SERVICE COMMISSION Proposal Review Form DATE: April24, 1998 GRANT CATEGORY: Michigan's AmeriCorps LEGAL APPLICANT: School District of the City of Saginaw NUMBER OF 1998- 1999 AMERICORPS STATE MEMBERS: _ _ _FT _ _ _PT -=30"'--_2 YR.

The program will focus on education and training regarding preschool, elementary, middle and high school children. Specifically the members will tutor third grade students in reading and math, mentor teens who are in their first and second trimester of pregnancy and at-risk of dropping out of school, and implement gang activity prevention in the middle schools. STRENGTHS • To-date, the program has recruited more than 75 volunteers who have provided more than 275 hours of service. • The program members have tutored 125 students. 79 have shown marked improvement in their reading ability. 53 have improved reading by one letter grade. • The program works with an at-risk pregnant teen population. There were 341 teen births in Saginaw in 1995, with 85% of these teens never returning to school to complete their education. • The Office of Evaluation, Testing and Research of the School District of the City of Saginaw, has agreed to work with the program director to set up specific devices to gather and quantify the data necessary to perform ongoing evaluation of the program. • The average cost per FTE is listed as $5,579 which is exceptionally low. As stated below, MCSC will need to advise the applicant as to whether or not the applicant can revise their program, from last year's design, to the proposed new design that includes 30 part-time, two-year, Education Award Only members. This decision may effect the average cost per FTE. CONTINUOUS IMPROVEMENT • There was no FSR form included with the Quarterly Report. • There was no member tracking form included with the Quarterly Report. • On future Quarterly Reports, the program needs to provide more accurate and quantitative responses that articulate their progress in meeting each of the program's objectives. • In the 2/3 year narrative, the applicant will need to revise their objective statements. MCSC recommends that the applicant meet with Project STAR to revise the objectives. • MCSC will advise the applicant as to whether or not the applicant can revise their program, from last year's design, to the proposed new design that includes 30 part-time, two-year, Education Award Only (EAO) members. Historically it has proven very difficult for programs to recruit and retain Education Award Only members. • The applicant needs to clarify the number of new f\.111-time, part-time, and EAO part-time members being requested. • On the budget form, the applicant needs to list the member support costs for the two-year part-time members. The amounts to be provided by the higher education institutes need to be included under the grantee share. �1998-99 FUNDING REQUEST $167,390 STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS Staff recommends that this proposal be included in the formula package for submission to CNS, provided the program fully addresses the issues outlined to them in the staff review feedback. �MICHIGAN COMMUNITY SERVICE COMMISSION Proposal Review Form DATE: April 24, 1998 GRANT CATEGORY: Michigan's AmeriCorps LEGAL APPLICANT: SOS Crisis Center NUMBER OF 1998-99 AMERICORPS STATE MEMBERS: 2 FT 6 PT 2YR.

The program will also engage a minimum of 35 homeless parents in programming designed to increase their competence in supporting their child's development. STRENGTHS • The program is a multi-agency collaboration among homeless family service providers. • The organization and staff have experience with both homeless issues and volunteer management. • The program supports local "welfare-to-work" initiatives by targeting homeless parents who are · predominantly public assistance recipients. • The program aims to serve more than 100 families and pre-school children each year and has the potential to impact a larger population through its relationship with the partner agencies. • The program has taken steps to better define how the members will provide specialized child care and the overall impact the child care will have on the service recipients. Project STAR is providing technical assistance to the program to enhance the overall objectives. • The program reduced the FTE to $10,589, which is below MCSC and CNS targeted cost per FfE. CONTINUOUS IMPROVEMENT ITEMS • The Financial Status Report was not submitted. • The program needs to provide more complete and quantitative information as to how the program is meeting their overall program objectives. • The proposal does not describe how they incorporate continuous improvement as a primary component and how they obtain regular feedback from the primary stakeholders to improve the overall quality of the program. 1998-99 FUNDING REQUEST: $52,946 STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS MCSC staff recommends that this proposal be included in the formula package for submission to CNS, provided the program fully addresses the issues outlined in the staff review feedback. �MICHIGAN COMMUNITY SERVICE COMMISSION Proposal Review Form DATE: April24, 1998 LEGAL APPLICANT: NUMBER OF GRANT CATEGORY: Michigan's AmeriCorps United Way of Genesee and Lapeer Counties 1998-99 ---=2~1_ _ FT AMERICORPS MEMBERS: -~19:....___ 1 Yr.

STRENGTHS • • • • The program documents its accomplishments and impacts adequately. The program articulates the challenges and issues encountered. The program recognizes and explains any deviations in meeting objectives. The program has recognized the difficulty in recruiting education award only members which has resulted in low enrollment numbers. The program has worked with MCSC to revise their current budget to offer a living allowance to part-time members. Consequently, the program has seen improvements in the second quarter enrollment numbers. • The FTE rate for this program is $11 ,250. This meets MCSC and CNS's target. CONTINUOUS IMPROVEMENT • Progress toward youth volunteers providing 2,800 hours of service is low. The program needs to elaborate on the lack of progress towards this objective. • Progress toward the 12 community projects and the 45 businesses providing support is not documented. The program needs to address the progress made. • Clarification is needed on what activities members have undertaken to promote volunteerism in the community and recruit non-stipended volunteers. • Plans for continuous improvement and evaluation need to be better defmed. • Clarification is needed on how the program will build on the established local support for the program for years 2/3. • Proactive measures are needed to ensure that members aren't engaged in prohibited activities prior to site visits by the program staff.

As part of the state's welfare reform initiative, FIA recruits AmeriCorps members from public assistance caseloads. This program's overall mission is to help FIA clients to move from welfare to work. The state FIA AmeriCorps Program provides a variety of training and educational opportunities for Corps members. These individuals are encouraged to seek employment opportunities. Many of the current FIA AmeriCorps members will be completing their two years of national service and are actively seeking employment. This may mean that some will want to take an available job prior to the end of their term of service. The Corporation for National Service permits AmeriCorps members to receive a pro-rated educational award when the member is released early from participation due to "compelling personal circumstances". In order to be eligible for a pro-rated educational award a member must have served a minimum of 15% of their term of service. As a general rule, leaving early to obtain employment has not been viewed as a "compelling personal circumstance". However, the Commission has the authority to determine whether leaving for employment constitutes a compelling personal circumstance. To accommodate this situation I am recommending the Commission approve the following situational waiver pertaining to "compelling personal circumstance" for FIA AmeriCorps members who are released from the program for employment: - FIA AmeriCorps members will be eligible for a pro-rated educational award when they are released from the program early to begin employment. In order to receive and education award the FIA AmeriCorps members must complete 50% of the first year of national service. In the second year of national service, the member must complete a minimum of 15% of their service requirement. This policy change has been requested by FIA management. The above language has been reviewed and approved by FIA AmeriCorps program management.

Romney Lansing , Telephone FAX Chairperson Michell e Engler Executive Director Frank Dirks S. Cap itol Ave . Bldg ., 4th Floor Michigan 48913 (517) 335-4295 (517) 373-4977 MEMORANDUM TO: Michigan Community Service Commission FROM: Garry Gross , Director of Administration ~- , Michigan Community Service Commission~ RE: Administrative Update DATE: April 20, 1998 Attached is the comparative financial statement for the quarter ending March 31, 1998. Some of the changes from the last quarter are as follows. In the State GF/GP, we have granted out $986,500 in Volunteer Investment Grants (VIG). This leaves us $13,500 in our VIG grant line. We are currently looking at ways of utilizing these remaining funds. Also in the State GF/GP, we took a negative appropriation of $11,500 due to a large decrease in retirement costs charged from the Department of Management and Budget. As we are currently well under our salaries and benefits line, this decrease will not affect us. The AmeriCorps line has been adjusted to reflect the final figures. We granted out more funds than we had in our formula allotment for the year. Therefore, we have increased the prior year carryover to cover this increase. This is typical for us in the AmeriCorps line. Most of our programs do not utilize their full funding for the year so we are allowed to carry it forward for the next funding year. This statement reflects the first half of the year. As you can see, we are currently well under our projected budget. I will be meeting will the Michigan Jobs Commission Budget Office in the next week to review our spending and make any necessary adjustments to our line items. It is important to note than we typically expend a larger portion of our budget during the spring and summer time frame. As I will not be at the Commission meeting, please call me at the office if you have any questions on the comparative financial statement or any other financial/administrative questions at (517) 3354295. cc: Terry Pruitt A Divis ion of the Michigan Jobs Commi ssion 0& ~~ ~·- �Michigan Community Service Commission Comparative Financial Statement/FY 98 As of March 31, 1998 STATE FUNDS GF/GP Budget YTD Actual TOTALS PRIVATE & FOUNDATION FUNDS FEDERAL FUNDS Volunteer Awareness Budget YTD Actual Operational Budget YTD Actual P-DAT Budget YTD Actual 354 ,052 0 120 , 000 30 000 120 ,000 30 000 4 , 294 ,342 0 354 ,052 150 000 150 000 Learn & Serve Bl.dget YTD Actual Michigan CARES Budget YTD Actual 3 . 950.871 343 . 471 151 ,500 0 151 ,500 91 ,000 126 756 91,000 1 26 756 0 21 429 21 429 8.250 8 .250 0 3.200 4 294 342 4 294 342 1 51 500 1 51 500 21 7 756 217 756 21 429 21 42 9 8 . 250 8 . 250 3 ,200 4,294,342 4,294,342 1 34,736 115,499 0 0 0 0 4 294 342 4 294 342 134 736 11 5 499 0 93 .000 AmeriCorps Budget YTD Actual Michigan CAAES-2 Budget YTD Actual l egislative Bktast Budget YTD Actual State ED grant Budge!

Every year tons of trash is illegally dumped in Michigan's forests. The goal of the Adopt A Forest (AAF) program is to enhance the enjoyment of public forest lands by eliminating illegal dumping and to increase the awareness of recycling opportunities for waste materials found . In an effort to increase public awareness of the illegal dumping problem, the Michigan Community Service Commission (MCSC), in partnership with the Michigan Coalition for Clean Forests (sponsored by Michigan United Conservation Clubs, the United States Forest Service, the Department of Natural Resources, the Department of Environmental Quality, and others) is coordinating a statewide forest/public land cleanup during the week of May 8 -17, 1998. The goal of the statewide effort is to reinforce awareness of the problem of illegal dumping while uniting volunteers in an effort to clean the public lands. Three sites in northern Michigan will be set up for overnight stays. Michigan's AmeriCorps members from across the state will spend two days at these sites participating in educational training and forest cleanup work in conjunction with the Michigan's AmeriCorps annual signature service project. In addition to the overnight sites, we are encouraging existing AAF adopters, United States Forest managers, Michigan State Park managers, and others from across the state, to host one-day cleanup projects in conjunction with the statewide cleanup effort. These projects will be coordinated locally, using local volunteers. Michigan Coalition for Clean Forests (MCCF) is currently collecting information on the locations, dates, time, etc. of the one-day sites. In addition to current local volunteers, the one-day projects will be looking to involve a number of new volunteers (from schools, national service programs, Volunteer Centers, and other organizations) who are not currently involved in Adopt A Forest/MCCF efforts. MCSC has created the attached form in order to collect information on potential new volunteers. If you have any questions regarding the statewide forest/public land cleanup, please call Lindy Reurink at (517) 335-4295.

In doing so, the Corporation will foster civic responsibility, strengthen the ties that bind us together as a people, and provide educational opportunity for those who make a .substantial commitment to service. PURPOSE The proposed bill, entitled the National and Community Service Amendments Act of 1998, will extend and amend national service legislation, including the National and Community Service Act of 1990 and the Domestic Volunteer Service Act of 1973, to further the Corporation' s mission. In developing this legislation, the Corporation identified four major goals: ( 1) devolve more authority and provide greater flexibility to states and local communities in implementing national service programs; (2) streamline the delivery system, thereby resulting in reduced costs and improved efficiencies; (3) increase coordination among national and community service programs authorized under these acts as well as those carried out by states and local communities and organizations; and (4) modify and improve programs based on the experience developed over the last several years. In addition, this bill makes a number of technical revisions to the existing statutes. This proposed legislation would reauthorize the major national service programs for fiscal years 1998 through 2002. These programs include: • AmeriCorps, including AmeriCorps*State, which provides grants to State Commissions on National and Community Service appointed by Governors; AmeriCorps*National, which provides direct grants to national organizations; AmeriCorps*VISTA (Volunteers in Service to America); and AmeriCorps*NCCC (National Civilian Community Corps); • Learn and Serve America, including Elementary and Secondary Education, CommunityBased, and Higher Education programs; rage I of5 DRAFT �• The National Senior Service Corps, including the Retired and Senior Volunteer Program, the Foster Grandparent Program, and the Senior Companion Program; • Appropriations for the Points of Light Foundation; and • Demonstration, training and technical assistance, evaluations, and other support services necessary to prov!de for the infrastructure and quality improvement necessary to enable national service programs to be of highest possible quality. SUMMARY OF SPECIFIC PROPOSALS IN THE BILL A new authority -- Service Collaboration Agreements -- will provide a means for improving the planning and administration of the Corporation' s national service programs in a state. The authority will be used selectively and voluntarily, and tailored to the circumstances of those states wishing to participate. Service agreements will be made with Governors and will incorporate performance goals and indicators. Changes affecting AmeriCorps*State and National include: • Explicit authority for making AmeriCorps grants to federal agencies is removed. • The distribution of AmeriCorps grant funds (two-thirds for AmeriCorps*State and one-third for AmeriCorps*National) remains unchanged. However, the relative amounts of AmeriCorps*State moneys distributed to a State Commission on a formula basis ("formula") versus the national competition for submissions by State Commissions ("competitive") are changed from the current 50/50 to 60/40 in 1999; 65/35 in 2000; and 70/30 thereafter. • Recruiting, training, and supervising unpaid volunteers by AmeriCorps members is made an explicit priority. • The Corporation·s average budgeted costs per AmeriCorps member is reduced; the ceiling is $16,000 for programs funded in fiscal year 1998 and $15,000 (adjusted for inflation) thereafter.

Changes affecting the National Service Trust include: • Expanding the definition of eligible institutions of higher education. • Ensuring that eligibility for the education award does not reduce eligibility for other federal student financial aid. • Clarifying that no more than two full-time education awards or their equivalent in part-time education awards may be earned. • Authorizing use of the National Service Trust for scholarships honoring exemplary service by high school students. • Permitting the use of Trust funds for purposes related to administering AmeriCorps members' accounts. Changes affecting AmeriCorps*VIST A include: • The purpose is clarified to emphasize promoting sustainable activities in communities. • Members are eligible for family and medical leave benefits. • Cost-sharing with sponsoring organizations is explicitly encouraged. _ Page 3 of5 �• Service by an individual is limited to three years, with an education award available for no more than two years of service. Changes affectin~ Learn and Serve America include: • Funds available for capacity building activities under Learn and Serve America School-Based programs are increased from 10-15 percent to a maximum of25 percent of funds distributed by formula. • Funds distribution for elementary and secondary education programs to states is established at 70 percent via formula and 30 percent on a competitive basis. The minimum grant amount per state is increased to $100,000, and states are required to distribute funds competitively. • State Commissions on National and Community Service and State Higher Education Boards, in partnership with institutions of higher education, are added as eligible applicants for Learn and Serve America Higher Education programs. • Service-learning is designated a fundamental purpose of Higher Education programs • Authority for supporting multi-state programs, demonstrations, and activities to improve the quality of service-learning programs is added. • States are given explicit authority to designate a single state entity to administer Learn and Serve America school-based and community-based programs in the state. Changes affecting the National Senior Service Corps include: • The impact of senior service within communities is emphasized. • The minimum age for Senior Corps participants is made uniform across all three Senior Corps programs at 55 years. • The ability to provide incentives for a Leaders program under the Retired and Senior Volunteer Program is added; meeting community needs is added as a purpose; and a 45-day period for review of certain RSVP grants is eliminated. • For the Foster Grandparent Program, authority for Leaders is included; eligibility is raised to 150 percent of the poverty level; up to 10 percent of federal funds may be used to support individuals who exceed income eligibility; and funding for programs _· Page 4 of5 �of national significance is simplified. • The changes in the Senior Companion Program are comparable to those provided for the Foster Grandparent Program. Eligibility is raised to 150 percent of the poverty level; up to 10 percent of federal funds may be used to support individuals who exceed il!come eligibility; and funding for programs of national significance is simplified. Changes affecting all streams of national service programs include: • Authorities for supplemental and outreach grants for individuals with disabilities is extended to all AmeriCorps, Learn and Serve America, and National Senior Service Corps programs. • Training and technical assistance authorities are also extended to all programs supported by the Corporation. Administrative and technical changes include: • Clarifying the role of the Corporations's appointed representatives to State Commissions; revising participant hearing and grievance procedures; and permitting a Member of the Board of Directors to serve until a replacement is appointed. • Repeal various redundant or obsolete authorities, including the VISTA Literacy Corps; certain Special Volunteer Programs; and Challenge Grants for National Service Programs under the National and Community Service Trust Act. • Removal of a requirement limiting the use of AmeriCorps*VISTA members to support other Corporation programs, and removal of a redundant requirement mandating a minimum number of AmeriCorps*VISTA service years. Appropriations eannarked for the Points of Light Foundation are reauthorized for five years. The Points of Light Foundation has worked closely with the Corporation on several joint initiatives, including co-sponsorship of the Philadelphia Presidents' Summit for America's Future. Authority for appropriations is provided as follows: • For fiscal years 1998-2002, such sums as are necessary. _ Page 5 of5 � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

These volunteers have provided 878 hours of service in the first quarter. WEAKNESSES • In reviewing the renewal application, it is not clear how much time the corpsmembers spend in the in-school component, the after-school component, and the summer component. • The program will need to elaborate on the expansion of programming into a second school site. It is not clear how and when this expansion will occur. Also, the program has been asked to provide a chart that outlines how the corpsmembers will be dispersed among the various service sites. • There is no discussion of the frequency of the program's monitoring activities or how feedback is used to improve the quality of the program. • It is not clear what kind of local community support the program has sustained. What is the program's past history/success in obtaining the community's support both programmatically and financially? 1998-99 FUNDING REQUEST: $ 243,461 STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS Staff recommends that this proposal be included in the competitive renewal package submitted to the Corporation for National Service, provided they adequate address the issues as outlined.

PT 30 FT .· 5 PT DESCRIPTION The Citizen's Health Service Corps: Michigan's AmeriCorps will involve 35 AmeriCorps members to serve in four FIA county offices of Berrien, Wayne, Mackinac, and Kalamazoo. The corpsmembers will continue to work to support Michigan's Welfare Reform efforts by serving to improve children and family health. The members facilitate client participation in early and periodic health screenings, coordinate child immunization outreach, provide outreach on the WIC program, and inform clients about Managed Care options. The corpsmembers service involves face-to-face contacts, follow-up visits, transportation to medical appointments, and additional tasks. STRENGTHS • The corpsmembers are placed in county health departments, elementary schools, Headstart programs, FIA county offices, and children's services agencies in order to provide health care outreach, schedule immunization appointments, and provide transportation to medical appointments. As a result, the program has provided health care information and referrals to 8,000 families and transportation to medical appointments for 2,000. • The program has reported strengthened inter-agency relationships both within and outside of FlA. New relationships with inter-tribal councils in Mackinac and Luce counties have strengthened relationships between FIA and the Native American tribes in that area. Within the Family Independence Agency, the involvement of the AmeriCorps members has strengthened inter-agency partnerships between Work First, Child Protective Services, and Foster Care while helping to change the perception of welfare recipients capabilities and their willingness to succeed. WEAKNESSES • In reviewing the renewal application, it was difficult to assess the program's progress to date in several sections due to insufficient information. Also, the program's objectives are weak and will require revisions. MCSC has had discussions with the program to review the quality of the renewal application and the programmatic concerns of insufficient reporting and program evaluation. A plan of action has been developed and the program will work with Project STAR, a national technical assistance provider, to strengthen their objectives. Additionally, MCSC staff will work with the program to improve the overall quality of the renewal application prior to submission to the Corporation for National Service. 1998-99 FUNDING REQUEST: $288,017 STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS Staff recommends that the proposal be included in the competitive submission to the Corporation for National Service. The program will need to demonstrate improvement in the quality of their progress reports. The cost per FTE is $8,862. This is below the MCSC and CNS figure of $11,250. �MICHIGAN COMMUNITY SERVICE COMMISSION Proposal Review Form DATE: February 4, 1998 GRANT CATEGORY: Michigan's AmeriCorps PROPOSAL: Detroit's Academic Success Program, United Way Community Services NUMBER OF 1998-99 AMERICORPS STATE MEMBERS: 0 2YR. PT 0 PT 30 Ff DESCRIPTION The mission of Detroit's Academic Success Program is to create an environment of academic excellence through the infusion of service-learning as an instructional method, while building lasting partnerships between schools and communities to increase academic achievement and reading comprehension of youth in kindergarten through fifth grade in Detroit's Empowerment Zone. Thirty full-time Michigan's AmeriCorps members will be placed in five elementary schools located in Detroit's Empowerment Zone. The members will provide tutoring to low achieving students, enrichment and academic support workshops to parents, and will develop service-learning curriculum in math, english, and science.

Also, the organization has previous experience in administering federal grants. WEAKNESSES • The primary concern for the program is insufficient reporting. Several past progress reports submitted by the program have not contained adequate information as to the program's past progress toward objectives or the delivery of service. This issue has been discussed with the UWCS program staff and the program will work with Project STAR, a national technical assistance provider, to strengthen the program's reporting. The information noted in the strengths section was contained in the renewal application. It has been difficult to obtain this information through past quarterly progress reports. 1998-99 FUNDING REQUEST: $379,074 STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS Staff recommends that the program be included in the competitive package submitted to the Corporation for National Service.

Please note that at the time of their competitive renewal submission, the program was only in operation for one week. At this time, there is no progress to report. STRENGTHS • The program has spent the period preceding the start of operations preparing for first quarter activities, such as: identifying the host sites through an RFP process, corpsmember recruitment, and preparing the host sites for the placement of the AmeriCorps members. • The program collaborates with a group of agency partners that are able to provide a variety of resources to support the program. Those partners are: the Natural Resources Conservation Service, Michigan State University Extension and local Conservation Districts. WEAKNESSES • The application does not describe how the program will incorporate continuous improvement as a primary component. • It is not clear whether the program will seek the service partners' feedback with regard to their satisfaction with the program or how their feedback will be incorporated as part of the program's continuous improvement efforts. • It is not clear what the program's strategies are for recruiting additional community volunteers . • The program will need to describe specific strategies and methods for monitoring that include the person(s) responsible for program monitoring, the frequency of the monitoring activities, and how monitoring feedback is used to improve the quality of the program. 1998-99 FUNDING REQUEST: $223,057 STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS Staff recommends that this proposal be included in the competitive renewal submission to the Corporation for National Service provided the program address the issues as outlined to them. The cost per FTE is $11,153. This is below the MCSC and CNS target of $11,250. �MICHIGAN COMMUNITY SERVICE COMMISSION Proposal Review Form DATE: GRANT CATEGORY: Michigan's AmeriCorps February 4, 1998 PROPOSAL: Michigan Neighborhood AmeriCorps Program, University of Michigan NUMBER OF 1998-99 AMERICORPS STATE MEMBERS: 20 FT ·36 PT . 10 2YR. PT 8 Summer Only DESCRIPTION The Michigan Neighborhood AmeriCorps Program aims to strengthen the social development of children and families in Detroit neighborhoods through: direct services (such as violence prevention workshops and community service projects) provided to at least 500 youth in after-school and summer programs; increasing access to health education and health promotion services for at least 300 children and family members; and enabling 100 residents to gain access to jobs and start new businesses. Please note that at the time of their renewal submission, the program had only been in operation for one week. At this time, there is no progress to report. STRENGTHS • • • • The program has spent the period preceding the start of operations preparing for first quarter activities, such as: corpsmember recruitment, preparing the host sites for the placement of the AmeriCorps members, and preparing the materials for the corpsmembers' orientation/training, etc. The university's demonstration of commitment, resources, and an existing AmeriCorps program identity are strong. The program has strong partnerships established within the community. The program currently partners with 20 community and neighborhood-based organizations. Additionally, the program has leveraged nearly $600,000 from the Skillman Foundation to develop community based volunteer initiatives that build the community's capacity in creating youth programming and increasing the community's involvement in youth programs. The program played an important role in the development of the Southeastern Michigan Service Collaborative, a network of seven southeastern Michigan's AmeriCorps programs and Michigan CARES of southwest Detroit. The collaboration developed and implemented a "Youth in Service" project for Make A Difference Day in which more than 100 youth were recruited to participate in a variety of community service projects in southeastern Detroit. WEAKNESSES • • • • It is not clear how the program will assess the quality of the service delivered and how it will determine the satisfaction of the corpsmembers and service recipients. With the addition of a third staff person, it is not clear how the program responsibilities and expansion will be delineated among the program staff. Program monitoring was not addressed in the application. The program has been asked to provide specific strategies and methods for monitoring that include the person(s) responsible for program monitoring, the frequency of the monitoring activities, and how monitoring feedback will be used to improve the quality of the program. Clarification is needed concerning the program's process for selecting five new sites. It is not clear how this will affect the number of corpsmembers assigned per site. 1998-99 FUNDING REQUEST: $ 418,197 STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS Staff recommends that this proposal be included in the competitive renewal package submitted to the Corporation for National Service, provided the program fully addresses the issues outlined to them. The cost per FTE for the program is $9,957 which is below the MCSC and CNS target of $11,250. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Johnson, Council of Michigan Foundations FROM: Kyle Caldwell, OlivetCollege RE: MichelleEngler Dottie, ~auld It really was good to talk to you today. Michael have called you personally, but he is out on the road (California the lucky devil) fundraising. I haven't heard from him in several days so he must be busy. Just as a follow up to our conversation this afternoon, we (Olivet College) wish to honor Michelle Engler at our Leadership Awards program on the evening of June 11 (again, sorry that you won't be there). We sent an invitation to Anne Mervenne, her scheduler, and asked if she would be interested in delivering the keynote address. We did so with the hopes that we could get on her calendar and then, after the Leadership Awards nomination committee selected her, have Michael call and congratulate her for receiving the award for "Leadership in the Public Sector.'' Unfortunately, we were turned down before we got that far. We received a standard letter from Anne's secretary that Michelle would be unavailable. I did mention to Anne Mervenne that you and Russ had been at last year's program and that you were an awardee. In our invitation we provided some materials (a copy of the program and our summer supplement of Shipherd' s Record which explained the awards) to explain why we wished to invite her to the program. We realize that Michelle is a busy person with many commitments. What we really want to know is whether our offer was declined because of her schedule or whether it was because we did not present our case very well. Michelle's work in the volunteer arena is certainly in line with what we are trying to do at Olivet. Would you be so kind as to ask if she is at all available and if there is anything we should do to get her to come to our awards program? I know that she values your opinion and that any mention of this by you would be a great help. Thank you for any assistance you can provide. I hope to talk with you again soon!

The level of activity over the past couple of months has been sustained at a very high level. This report will summarize major activity. STAFFING UPATE We are pleased to announce that Cynthia Heddon joined the staff in late December. Cynthia brings a high level of energy and an enthusiasm to the staff. She will serve as our second AmeriCorps Program Manager. She is a quick learner, which is certainly a requisite for the AmeriCorps assignment. Interviewing has been completed for an additional staff person who will have responsibility for coordinating technical assistance and training support to program grantees. In addition, this individual will have the lead role for developing public relations initiatives and Commission publications. The Boston based executive search firm, Bennett-Isaacson Associates, has been retained to complete a nationwide search for a permanent Director. The search effort is moving ahead smoothly. It is expected that a roster of final candidates for the position will be completed within the next couple of weeks. We are hopeful that we can schedule interviews with the finalist the last week of February and extend an offer by the first week in March. If this is accomplished the new Executive Director would begin the first or second week of April 1998. A Division of the Michigan Jobs Commission il �-UNIFIED STATE PLAN A formal plan must be submitted to the Corporation for National Service by March 17, 1998. The CNS is encouraging all states to clearly indicate that they are working to merge and coordinate the various streams of volunteer services existing in each state. A series of meetings have been conducted with various state partners to discuss how we can further expand collaboration efforts. These discussions have gone well and should produce a draft plan by the end of February. The final document must have the formal approval of the commission. Because we will not have another commission meeting prior to the submission of the document to CNS, I am recommending that it be mailed to commission members in early March and that we conduct a vote by phone or fax to complete the approval step. Please note that our state partners will have a major role preparation of the Unified State Plan. STATE ADMINISTRATIVE PLAN/PDAT The commission has received final approval of our 1998 administrative and PDAT grant requests from CNS. These applications were reviewed with the commission at our December meeting. Approved federal funding for our 1998-99 administrative grant totals $354,052. While the approved PDAT grant is $150,000. NORTH CENTRAL CLUSTER MEETING Angelia Salas and myself are attending a mid-western two-day meeting of service partner organizations scheduled for February 5-7, 1998 in Columbus, Ohio. In addition to Michigan other states attending include Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Nebraska, North Dakota, Minnesota, Ohio, South Dakota, and Wisconsin. Representatives invited to participate in the meeting include State Commission Chairs, Executive Directors, State Corporation Office Directors, and State Learn and Serve America Directors. The overall goal of the meeting is to enhance collaboration among states. Angelia and I will report on actual meeting activities at the commission meeting. AMERICA READS America Reads is the latest challenge from President Clinton and CNS state commissions must gear up to meet. The goal of America Reads is to have all children read well and independently by the end of the third grade. Congress has appropriated and additional $69 million to CNS to specifically meet this challenge. Application submission dates are February 26, and/or May 12, 1998. Funding is available on a competitive basis. Our strategy is to submit a single expansion application for the February 26th submission date and a comprehensive state-wide application in May. The attached letter from CNS details the America Reads initiative. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

In fiscal year 1998, the Congress has provided the Corporation with an additional $69 million, most of which is devoted to helping meet this challenge. This action is further evidence of a growing recognition that national service is an effective way to help solve major national and local problems. This increased support for national service will also help achieve the goals set at the Presidents ' Summit for America' s Future held in Philadelphia last April. The Summit called for millions of Americans to be tutors ·and mentors for children at risk, and national service provides a structure and organization to help mobilize this effort. This letter sets forth guidance for the Corporation' s additional program resources available through AmeriCorps*VISTA, AmeriCorps*State programs, and the National Senior Service Corps. The guidance has been developed with considerable input from the field , and we thank you for your assistance in that important task. With the new resources we aim to engage some 100,000 new volunteer tutors for the America Reads initiative. More than 3,100 new AmeriCorps members will recruit and manage tutors to work in after-school, in-school, and summer reading programs to improve childhood literacy through local nonprofit and literacy organizations. New funding for the National Senior Service Corps will enable more than 8,500 new RSVP volunteers and 1,200 Foster Grandparents to serve as tutors and mentors for young students. 1~01 New York Aven ue. NW Wash mg10n. DC "05c5 Telephone ~0~-606-5{)()() Gettin~ Thin~s Done. AmenCorp;. Na(Jonal Serv~ce Learn a.nd Serve Amenca National Semor Ser. tee Corps �In making use ofthese resources, we expect the Corporation ' s partners in unified state planning - Commissions, State Offices, and State Education Agencies- as well as other partners throughout the State, to collaborate and develop a unified strategy in implementing the America Reads Challenge. The new resources were earmarked by the Congress to specific Corporation programs, and as you are aware the law requires that we follow the program regulations for the distribution of these resources . However, we ask States and local communities to collaborate in requesting these funds, and to coordinate America Reads activities across program lines. The Corporation will review proposals and allocate resources in a manner that supports unified programming in the field . AmeriCorps members, college work-study or service-learning students, high school students, community volunteers, and senior volunteers can be vital resources to parents, teachers, and local literacy programs in helping children learn to read . Increasing the number of volunteer tutors, and assuring that programs are ofthe highest quality, will result in many children learning a skill that is essential to success in life. AmeriCorps* VIST A The AmeriCorps*VISTA budget increase of $24 million will support approximately 1,670 service years (a service year is the equivalent of a member serving for an entire year) and 500 summer positions. The service of these members will demonstrate AmeriCorps*VISTA' s capacity to focus effectively on the needs of young children and their families, especially those living in disadvantaged communities. Ofthe 1,670 service years under AmeriCorps*VISTA, 870 service years will be made available to the Corporation' s field staff for assignment, including approximately 500 new standard service years and 3 70 individuals already in place as of the first quarter of this year. These new individuals, who should total about 1,000, should be assigned as expeditiously as possible while ensuring programmatic excellence. Area Managers and State staff are requested to identify all new placements by February 23 , 1998 . Approximately 800 service years will be allocated through a competitive grants process announced in the Federal Register on December 18 . Applications are due to the Corporation' s headquarters by January 28, 1998. The Corporation will use field staff in the review ofthese applications to help assure that these grants are consistent with state activities and contribute to unified planning. In order to build upon AmeriCorps*VIST A' s capacity to mobilize and manage trained tutors, as well as the existing efforts of states and communities to provide high-quality literacy programs, priority consideration in the allocation of service years will be given to : (1) entities planning or operating city, county, statewide, or multi-state America Reads initiatives; (2) local governments planning or operating area-wide America Reads initiatives; (3) volunteer centers engaged in recruiting literacy tutors for the 2 �America Reads initiative; and (4) university service-learning centers coordinating workstudy and other college students for the Initiative. Summer programs provide the opportunity to give additional support to children who would otherwise lose gains achieved during the school year. Field staff in the Corporation will help identify programs and concept papers must be submitted through the state office for the placement of approximately 500 Summer Associates no later than February 2, 1998 (please note: this date represents a one-week extension from the original deadline) Many AmeriCorps*VISTA Members will serve in community literacy efforts and initiatives that involve parents, businesses, and community members in the literacy education of young children. The expectation is that programs will collaborate with Learn and Serve America, Federal Work Study, and/or other AmeriCorps programs involved in literacy activities, as appropriate. More detailed guidance on applying for AmeriCorps*VISTA placements is contained in the memorandum dated December 23 from Diana London/Deb Jospin to Area Managers and State Directors and in the Notice of Availability ofFunds published in the Federal Register on December 18, 1997. AmeriCorps*State Programs The Congress provided an additional $19 million for AmeriCorps*State grants and $6 million for the Trust for education awards for national service activities consistent with the literacy goals of the America Reads challenge. These funds are available under the AmeriCorps* State competitive pool, under which State Commissions select programs which then compete nationally against each other. In order to provide the maximum flexibility for State Commissions, and to build on the quality literacy activities carried out by many AmeriCorps programs to date, we have created two options under which state commissions may apply. Further, a State may combine elements of both options in its application. Option 1: State-wide Initiative. This option allows the commission to develop a major new state-wide initiative to respond to the America Reads Challenge. In order to propose a state-wide initiative, a commission must demonstrate consultation with appropriate organizations within the state and describe the process for allocating resources within the State consistent with existing AmeriCorps guidelines. This new initiative may include some elements of expanding existing programs (option II below). The application should relate the monies requested from the Corporation to a larger plan and effort by the State to have all children read well and independently by the end of the third grade. 3 �Option ll: Expansion of Existing AmeriCorps Literacy Programs. This option allows commissions to select currently-funded AmeriCorps competitive or formula programs that are engaged in literacy activities for additional funding . These programs can propose either new literacy activities with additional AmeriCorps members or expansion of AmeriCorps members, activities and/or sites. The Commission must still submit a renewal request for the existing program(s) as part of its 1998 competitive or formula package. The renewal request will be evaluated separately from any proposed expansion. A State Commission may apply on February 26 and/or May 12, depending upon its individual circumstances. For example, if a State chooses to propose a 1998 summer component of a full-year program, the State should apply on February 26 to allow adequate time to plan and implement a summer program. The two submission dates are being offered to give States a maximum amount of flexibility. A State's decision not to apply for funding in February will, in no way, affect its ability to compete for funding in May. High quality programs that address the following issues may be given a preference over programs that do not. • expansion of innovative demonstration programs that involve national service in improving children' s literacy; • the extent to which the proposal demonstrates commitments by key state officials such as the Governor and Chief State School Officer, as well as leveraging other national, state, and local resources, public as well as private, to address children's literacy; • the extent to which the proposal uses AmeriCorps Members to mobilize volunteer reading tutors and partners, thereby reaching the largest number of children with high quality programs; and • the extent to which the proposal enhances or builds on other Corporation program activities related to America Reads. More detailed guidance concerning the AmeriCorps*State programs is contained in the letter from Deb Jospin to the State Commissions on National and Community Service dated January 9, 1998. National Senior Service Corps The National Senior Service Corps will allocate approximately $8.4 million in new funds through the Foster Grandparent Program ($5 .6 million) and the Retired and Senior Volunteer Program ($2 .8 million) to develop America Reads components in existing 4 �projects and to stan a limited number of new projects. In many cases, our Senior Corps is involved with children at the pre-school level, and the goal is to provide children with the types of activities and suppon that will prepare them to learn to read . Supplemental grants to existing projects, known as "programs of national significance (PNS)," are based on the following principles. First, all grants must respond to the America Reads Challenge and be used to support children' s literacy programs. Second, the allocation of resources is based on an agreement between the Corporation and the N ational Associations of Senior Corps programs. Third, the grants will provide opportunities for cross-stream collaboration. Founh, as a new step, PNS grants will provide the flexibility for projects to incorporate innovative activities through a demonstration authority. Fifth, and finally, all of the above will be accomplished through one competitive grant process that attempts to minimize the burden on projects across the country. Consistent with the efforts of the National Senior Service Corps over the last several years, project activities for America Reads must be based on Programming for Impact Principles and be focused on literacy outcomes for children. Successful applications under the PNS authority will show innovative collaborations and partnerships with community literacy efforts and initiatives that involve parents, businesses, and community members in the literacy education of young children. Preference will be given to projects that collaborate with Learn and Serve America and/or AmeriCorps and AmeriCorps*VISTA activities. Applications are due to Corporation State Offices by February 28 for these grants. Detailed guidance concerning funds for existing projects is contained in a memorandum from Tom Endres to all Corporation State Offices dated January 9, 1998. The National Senior Service Corps will issue separate guidance for a relatively small number of new projects later in the year. These new projects will be comprehensive Retired and Senior Volunteer and Foster Grandparent programs in areas not currently served by these programs, and will incorporate an America Reads component. Learn and Serve America The Congress did not appropriate additional funds for Learn and Serve America. However, many existing programs and activities support the America Reads Challenge at all levels, from elementary school through college. Among the resources available for America Reads efforts are college students in the Federal Work Study Program. To date, over 830 colleges and universities have pledged to help meet the challenge by enabling college work-study students to serve as tutors in children ' s literacy programs. National service programs are encouraged to 5 �become partners in these efforts, as well as existing service-learning programs on campuses across the country. Further, peer tutoring and using high school students to tutor younger children are proven to be among the most effective strategies, and many school systems across the country are using such approaches and taking advantage ofthe Corporation' s Learn and Serve funding to support such efforts. In addition to these program resources, the Corporation will fund a training and technical assistance provider to offer support to local programs across the country. Materials and information are available at the Corporation' s and Department of Education's web site. All programs are also encouraged to examine the "Principles and Key Components for High Quality America Reads National Service Program Initiatives," available shortly on our web site- www.nationalservice.org. As you plan for the use of these new resources, at the national level the Corporation is working in close partnership with the Department of Education to implement this initiative. We plan to conduct a series of America Reads training events around the country and will inform you ofthe details . We are making the above information available to programs through our web site, and we urge you to share this information with potential programs within your state. Thank you for your leadership, and for your commitment to national service. Sincerely, J! /J/Jj ' -r~) ~ '7!L :. -/, M.--1 1 Harris Wofford ChiefExecutive Officer References enclosed : 1.

We have cause to be thankful and proud. We also have new challenges to meet, including reauthorization of the Corporation and its programs. All of our streams of service - AmeriCorps, Learn and Serve America, and the National Senior Service Corps- have flourished, thanks to the work of state commissions, state offices, state education agencies, senior service associations, and our many partners in the private and public sectors. And above all the participants engaged in national service. AmeriCorps has grown to its largest size, and is recognized in more and more communities for the quality of its programs and participants. That includes the hundreds of state and national grant programs and both the Volunteers In Service To America (VISTA) and National Civilian Community Corps (NCCC). Continuing its legacy of service, AmeriCorps*VISTA has been on the leading edge of America Reads, the President's literacy initiative, which led to AmeriCorps*VISTA receiving its largest-ever increase in appropriations. AmeriCorps*NCCC's service, particularly its disaster response efforts, continues to impress those who come in contact with NCCC teams. This fall we opened a new campus of the AmeriCorps*NCCC in Washington DC. Learn and Serve America is at the forefront of the expanding service-learning movement. A 1997 study by Brandeis University/Abt Associates showed that welldesigned service-learning programs not only instill the values of citizenship, but enhance academic performance. Chicago, Philadelphia and Miami are the latest big city school districts establishing service requirements in their schools. Our senior service programs are winning greater recognition for their impact in solving community problems, which is part of the reason that the Foster Grandparent Program, the Senior Companion Program, and the Retired and Senior Volunteer Program (RSVP) also received significant increases in funding. Building on the success of the · Experience Corps model, we recently launched the Seniors for Schools initiative in nine cities to extend the impact of senior power in schools as part of the America Reads Challenge. We are developing an important new collaboration with the American NATI ONAL SE RVICE: GETTI NG THI NGS DONE tlmmCorps · Lca111 wul Saw Amclica · 1 ational s,·nior Service Corps fP'I Ill 1201 New York Avenue , N.W · Washington , D.C. 20525 telephone: 202-606-5000 · website: www nationalservice.org �Association of Retired Persons (AARP) using service as a strategy to deal with the challenges of long-term care. The vitality of our core programs gives good reason to believe we can achieve the broader goal of encouraging and promoting a range of service and volunteer opportunities so that Americans 2_f all ages and backgrounds are challenged and inspired - and have the opportunity -to. serve. For this we need to move full-speed ahead in improving the capacity of our programs and in forging new partnerships with the great non-profit, civic, educational, corporate and faith-based institutions of our society. # # # Congressional Reauthorization of the Corporation: Although many agencies and programs operate without renewed authorization, Congressional re-affirmation is important for the long-term growth and success of national service. That is why the President, in his Thanksgiving weekend radio address, announced that he would ask Congress to reauthorize the Corporation and all its programs. In communities around the country, people have come to recognize the value of national service. The key role our network has played in the Presidents' Summit for America' s Future and in the ensuing state and local summits has produced an opportunity to demonstrate the quality and power of national service. Even though winning reauthorization is a big challenge, if Members of Congress focus on the achievements in their states and districts and the future potential of national service, then the prospects for reauthorization will be good. I have enclosed a copy of the President's radio address as well as information describing the reauthorization proposal. The full text of the bill and a detailed synopsis are available on our website- www.nationalservice.org- or by calling our legislative information line at (202) 606-5000 extension 237. The Presidents ' Summit for America's Future: One of the ways the Corporation has demonstrated the power of national service was our leadership in organizing the Presidents' Summit in Philadelphia last April. As the co-sponsor of the Summit, along with our special partner the Points of Light Foundation, we helped focus national attention on the need for a new level of concerted citizen action to turn the tide for millions of young people. The goal of the Summit and of America' s Promise, the postSummit campaign led by General Powell, is to mobilize millions of citizens and thousands of organizations - including government at all levels - to help children who lack the conditions for success in life. �At the Summit, the Presidents signed a declaration setting five goals - five fundamental resources for a young person' s success: • • • • • an ongoing relationship with a caring adult- as a mentor, tutor, or coach; safe places with structured activities to learn and grow during non-school hours; a healthy start and a healthy future; an effective education providing a marketable skill, including the ability to read well; and an opportunity to serve, not just be served. National service is already playing an active role in achieving each of these goals, and the more the Summit goals catch on, the greater the opportunity for the whole national service family to show the power of service as a strategy for solving community problems. Each of the five goals is part of our mission, and gives lis the chance to provide effective service. Of course, the fifth goal - service by young people - is at the heart of our mission. In General Powell's recent progress report on America' s Promise, he warmly thanked the Corporation for its role. For more information about America' s Promise, please see their webpage at www.americaspromise.org, or call America's Promise at (800) 365-0153. State and Local Summits: Since April, many states and communities have held their own follow-up summits to gather local partners and get local commitments to pursue the summit goals. From Boston to Baton Rouge, Atlantic City to Jackson, Louisville to Des Moines, I have seen governors, mayors, corporate leaders, non-profit organizations and newly-energized citizens come together to craft and implement plans of action. In states and communities across the country, our national service network has been crucial in planning and carrying out these follow-up summits. Our state commissions, state offices, project sponsors, and national service participants have risen to the occasion. Government officials and community leaders have seen - sometimes for the first time - the quality of the national service network, the dedication of national service participants, and the power of national service to get things done. Many states have successfully incorporated the Summit's goals into the Unified State Plans being developed jointly by state commissions, state offices and state education agencies. The greatest number of state and local summits are scheduled for the spring of 1998, and many in the national service network are already hard at work on these events. I urge all members of the national service family to make the maximum effort to support and participate in these summits, and help fulfill America's Promise for all of America' s children. �Goal 5 -Service by Young People: While the Corporation is working to achieve all of the goals of the Summit, Goal 5- the opportunity for all young people to actively participate in service to their community - is our special mandate. General Powell has become an ardent advocate of the value of youth service and service-learning. He told the Board of America'_~ Promise that his points about Goal 5 bring the strongest applause in his speeches- and I've seen this first-hand. I enclose General Powell's holiday essay in Time Magazine on the power and potential of youth service, service-learning and AmeriCorps. The Corporation is taking the lead in carrying out Goal 5 through collaboration with the growing alliance of organizations committed to that effort. This charge fits the Corporation's mission to promote large-scale expansion of youth service and servicelearning. In August, on behalf of the Goal 5 Advisory Board, the Corporation teamed up with Do Something to convene a meeting of 150 leaders in the youth service movement on how to achieve this special goal. I hope you will read with care the enclosed paper that summarizes the progress and proposed targets in implementing GoalS. New Funds for the America Reads ChallenEre: Congress focused virtually all of the new funding for Corporation programs on the America Reads Challenge to assure that all children can read independently by the end of third grade. AmeriCorps received $49 million in additional funds- $25 million for the AmeriCorps*State program and $24 million for AmeriCorps*VISTA, (the largest increase, 58 percent, in the 30-year history of VISTA). In addition, the Senior Service programs received a total of$18 million in new appropriations (most of these funds targeted to America Reads)- $4.5 million for the Retired and Senior Volunteer Program (with which RSVP is mobilizing volunteers for elementary literacy), $9.7 million for Foster Grandparents to serve children, and $4.1 million for Senior Companions to strengthen the informal care system for an aging America. Using these funds well is now one of our big challenges. It is up to all of us to meet this new challenge and prove the value of national service as an integral part of the solution to America's most pressing problems. Education Awards Only: In 1996, the Corporation began to test an additional approach to AmeriCorps in which the Corporation provides the education award, but almost all other expenses associated with an AmeriCorps member are paid by the host agency or from other sources. At the Summit in Philadelphia, President Clinton called for a dramatic expansion of this program: 50,000 education award only participants over the next five years. The President challenged the great non-profits, faith-based organizations and the whole private sector to take the lead in expanding national service by engaging �and supporting these new AmeriCorps members. The response to the President's challenge has been outstanding. There are already more than 15,000 of these education award only AmeriCorps members, and we will be conducting new competitions in the coming year. National Service Scholarship Program: In 1997, the Corporation launched a new scholarship program- the National Service Scholarships- to recognize high school students for outstanding service to the community. Under this program, a $1,000 scholarship ($500 from the Corporation to be matched by $500 from a local source) is awarded to a student selected by a process established by the school principal. In the first pilot year of operation, these scholarships were awarded in nearly 1,700 schools. The Corporation's partners in this effort include the Lions, the Kiwanis, Rotary Clubs, Veterans ofForeign Wars, and the American Legion, to name only a few. Community foundations, local businesses and individual philanthropists also joined in support. For the coming year Congress has given the Corporation the opportunity to extend this scholarship program to 10,000 high schools. We hope you will help to spread the word about this program - to students, high school principals, school boards, superintendents, and potential community partners. I have enclosed information about this scholarship program - and you can fmd more at our website. Martin Luther King Holiday- "A Day On. Not a Day Off': Three years ago President Clinton signed legislation designating the Martin Luther King Holiday as a national day of service. The law gives the Corporation responsibility for promoting this day of service, in conjunction with the King Holiday Commission (a role now assumed by the King Center in Atlanta). The Corporation has made small grants to groups that are organizing service events and ongoing projects in some 70 communities to mark the King Holiday, which this year falls on January 19, 1998. I hope that all members of the national service network will take an active part in making this the biggest King Holiday Day of Service to date. Our partners in this endeavor-- the Martin Luther King Center for Nonviolent Social Change Inc., Do Something, the United Way of America and the Points of Light Foundation- are working with us to produce maximum service opportunities and participation. The National Basketball Association has produced a public service announcement for Martin Luther King Day to broadcast during its games. For more information about the Martin Luther King Day of Service please visit our website or call David Premo at 202-606-5000 extension 278. Strategic Plan: This fall, the Corporation completed and published a comprehensive Strategic Plan. A great deal of consultation and hard thinking went into �the plan' s development. I encourage everyone who is interested in the Corporation ' s direction to read it. You can find the plan on the Internet at www.nationalservice.org. If you do not have access to the Internet, please call Susan Raines at (202) 606-5000 extension 450 for a copy. The Corporation in Cyberspace- www.nationalservice.org: As you have noticed, this letter often directs you to our website at www.nationalservice.org. As part of our effort to communicate more quickly and effectively with the field, we have significantly upgraded our website by improving the operation of the site and loading new publications and information promptly. Look for a new, livelier design early in the new year. We invite you to bookmark our site- www.nationalservice.org- and visit it often. # # # I hope you share my enthusiasm for our progress and prospects. I look forward to our continued collaboration, and hope you will continue to share your ideas about how we reach the goal of making citizen service the common expectation and common experience of all Americans.

N'J'\ DfJJ \ Finally, we have a web page! After what seems like a lifetime, MCSC's web page went into production on January 28, 1998. The page is located at www.state.mi.us/mjc/mcsc. I have including a couple of the pages for you to see. When you have a chance, take a look at the site. We hope to have the reporting capabilities of the web site up and running by the end of March, 1998 . During the last Commission meeting, I told you that I would supply you with a breakdown of the Commission's staff and the respective funding source. As you can see by the attached breakdown, we currently have 12 positions. Space is starting to become a premium! Some updates on the financial and grants area. Our work project request was approved. When added to our carry over work project funds, the Commission has over $170,000 this year. We have been informed by both the Michigan Jobs Commission (MJC) and the Department of Management and Budget (DMB) that carry over for this year will be extremely limited. We are waiting for approval from MJC to release our Volunteer Investment Grants. Both our future recipients and the commission are eagerly awaiting the approval to send out the grants. We anticipate that we will have approval early next week. I have also included our comparative financial statement for the quarter ending December 31, 1997. Please take a minute to look over the financial statement. I will be glad to answer any questions that you might have. If you have any questions after the meeting, please contact me at (517) 3354295. cc: Terry Pruitt A Division of the Michigan Jobs Commission at �Dedicated to enabling all citizens, including youth, to engage in public service and volunteerism.

About MCSC • MCSC Supports Service and Volunteerism • The Commission Members and Supporters • Projects and Activities Michigan Community Service Commission (MCSC) Catalyst for positive community change; stimulating innovative programs that meet real community needs through service. Convener of diverse individuals and groups; building community through shared efforts toward common goals. Broker of ideas and resources ; encouraging collaboration and entrepreneurial approaches to service and volunteer program development. The Michigan Community Service Commission is committed to helping commun-ities find their own creative solutions to local challenges. Governor John Engler Created by Executive Order of the Governor in October 1991, MCSC was established in state law with the overwhelming bipartisan support of the Michigan Legislature in the summer of 1994. The nonpartisan Commission supports and administers national and community service programs across Michigan. Chaired by Michigan's First Lady, Michelle Engler, MCSC was designated the state's lead agency for administering programs under the National and Community Service Act of 1990, and later the National Service Trust Act of 1994. MCSC's support comes from three primary sources: federal funding through AmeriCorps and the Corporation for National Service, state funding, and private foundation funding. We believe that this combination is a good representation of the elements necessary to sustain service and volunteerism. Service and volunteerism require public, private, and nonprofit support. MCSC is devoted to enhancing this support for effective collaboration among service providers in the state. �Michigan Community Service Commission George W. Romney Building, 4th Floor 111 S.
