Northern Lights High School is a collaboration of the two Benzie County school districts: Benzie Central and Frankfort-Elberta Area Schools, designed to meet the needs of at-risk students. Combining training, resources, and support, CBO staff are providing leadership in collaboration between the two districts as well as programming to integrate at-risk students into the management of critical social and cultural resources unique to Benzie county. The two community-based organizations will work collectively with students in needs/skills assessment, group decision-making, teamwork understanding their community, reflection, and evaluation processes. Students will also develop a slidesynch show for service-learning program dissemination. Two project groups will be formed, one to work with the Garden Projects constructing a school greenhouse, growing seedlings and food for the local Food Pantry, peer tutoring third graders, gardening with disabled persons, and landscaping. The Maritime Museum will engage students in learning through planning, design, restoration, and construction work with historic maritime resources, including management of resources involving original research, collections care, and gathering oral history.

STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS Staff recommends program funding with changes/corrections listed above. �Michigan Community Service Commission Proposal Review Form DATE: 11-10-97 PROPOSAL: GRANT CATEGORY: LS-CBO Onekama Consolidated Schools Education Foundation LS98-19C FUNDING REQUESTED: $7,500 TOTAL BUDGET: $15,000 DESCRIPTION PROJECT NETGAP is a multi-level, intergenerational service-learning project aimed at reducing the generation gap in the Onekama Community. The project focuses on assisting K-12 students in improvement of their technology and history knowledge while developing their personal and civic responsibilities. Fifteen high school students will mentor 15 senior citizens in the use of computerized technology. These 15 senior citizens will each adopt-a-classroom, thereby mentoring elementary students while sharing their expertise and oral history information. These 280 elementary students will then collect this oral history information and 40 junior high students will publish the information using computerized publishing techniques. STRENGTHS • • • • • • The program has a good concept regarding developing intergenerational relationships. The program is very youth driven. The proposal outlined the role and responsibilities of each community partner. The students will receive recognition for their progress and accomplishments. The program's evaluation plan includes the collection of qualitative and quantitative data. Program staff is experienced, however, they do not have any service-learning background of expenence. WEAKNESSES • • • • Although the program provides opportunities for student recognition, the proposal does not discuss any recognition opportunities for seniors involved in the program. The proposal did not provide additional detail regarding the process that will be used to involve special needs students. Nor was it clear what support the special needs students would receive in order to participate in the program. The program's anticipated outcomes are not clearly tied to school curriculum. The one-year program time table does not indicate the person(s) responsible for each activity. CONTINUOUS IMPROVEMENT ITEMS • • • • • Stakeholder feedback excluded youth, seniors, teachers, and parents. Continuous improvement efforts should occur more frequently than annually. This should occur on a quarterly basis, at a minimum. The proposal needs to provide more defined measures for evaluation. Clarification is needed surrounding participant supervision. It is not clear from the proposal who will supervise participants, how this supervision will be provided, and what the ratio of program staff to participants is? Proposal needs to provide more information about the applicant organization with respect to the organization's past experience in administering a program comparable to the proposed program. STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS Staff recommends program funding with changes/corrections listed above. �Michigan Community Service Commission Proposal Review Form DATE: 11-10-97 PROPOSAL: GRANT CATEGORY: LS-CBO City of Portage/Portage Senior Center LS98-03C FUNDING REQUESTED: $8,445 TOTAL BUDGET: $18,786 DESCRIPTION The Portage Senior Center, The Portage Community Outreach Center, and Portage Central Elementary School will work together to provide opportunities for service which involve both young people and senior citizens beginning in January of 1998 and continuing through the end of the 2000 school year. The project will involve three of the four national priority areas: Education, (both school success and school readiness, the latter for Pre-Primary Intervention {PPI} students), the Environment (neighborhood), and Human Needs (health - nutrition). Working with an advisory council and the school student council, the first year of the project will encompass three projects: a school wide recycling effort that will extend to the neighborhood, a community garden project, and a Readers' Theater project. The community garden and the Readers ' Theater will begin with fourth graders who will continue the projects as fifth graders. The lower elementary grades will benefit from the Readers' Theater in that older children and senior citizens will perform stories by reading them aloud expressively. The community garden will be a source of fresh vegetables for the low income clients of the Portage Community Outreach Center. The project has a summer component and the garden will be tended by girls in the "Girls are Great" program, a project begun last summer with a Learn and Serve grant. In subsequent years, it is probable that these three projects will continue, but others will be added by students who will recommend projects to the advisory council. Funds solicited from area foundations and/or corporations will fund the student driven projects. STRENGTHS • • • • • • The proposal has varied and creative methods for recognizing student achievement and service. There is a good plan for recruiting students, seniors, and other volunteers for the program. · The proposal lists three strong partners that represent the school and community. The sponsor currently has 200 volunteers. The proposal calls for in-service training for school staff. The proposal calls for senior volunteers to attend a service-learning training. WEAKNESSES • • • It is not clear how the community need was determined, nor that it is a pressing need in the community. Participant Objective #2 calls for an increase in helping those in need. The standard by which success will be gauged is a decrease in unkind behavior. This is not an indicator of an increase in understanding the need for people to help one another. The proposal lists the school as a key partner, but the proposal fails to highlight any school staff members' responsibilities to the proposal/program. CONTINUOUS IMPROVEMENT • • • The measurement tools of objectives #1 and #2 are unclear. The participant objective calls for an improvement in the reading of 25% of participants. This appears to be low. Should be increased to include reading improvement in a larger portion of participants. To make it a stronger objective, the gardening project/objective could/should be written to better reflect the science/academic learning that the project will inspire. �• • The one-year time table is very general. It does not list a specific plan nor person(s) responsible for carrying out the tasks. May want to include other "at risk" students on the advisory council rather than just including student council and NHS. STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS Staff recommends program funding with changes/corrections listed above. �Michigan Community Service Commission Proposal Review Form DATE: 11-10-97 PROPOSAL: GRANT CATEGORY: LS-CBO Ann Arbor Community Education and Recreation LS98-33C FUNDING REQUESTED: $20,270 TOTAL BUDGET: $40,670 DESCRIPTION Camp Explore and Camp Success are service-learning programs that will meet authentic needs in the Ann Arbor community. Ann Arbor MEAP scores show there are a significant number of students, primarily African American, who are not succeeding academically. There is also a lack of enriching summer activities available to low income children and young people. The primary focus of Camp Explore is to provide a broad based experiential and academic program for high need students who will gain confidence and knowledge from the theme related field trips and language arts activities. It will provide students, in grades 5-7, with a service-learning opportunity twice per week when they share their newly acquired knowledge with younger children in their neighborhood through hands-on activities. Camp Success will provide young people, in grades 7-9, with an opportunity for career exploration, community service-learning and skills development. They will learn about careers through site visits and speakers. The students will use their personal and leadership skills as they work with a local non-profit agency. STRENGTHS • • • • • • • Community service experiences strongly linked to academic standards. Good layout of goals and timetable. Program goals work to increase the academic achievement of high risk students. One on one mentoring component is strong. Very important to bring in college/university as mentioned in the program. Rubrics is a very strong way of assessing student achievement. Background of staff is applicable. WEAKNESSES • • • • • • • • • • • • • Time line for program activities not clearly listed. The service is minimal and doesn't seem to support the educational/academic goals. The program runs 4-6 weeks which is a very small amount of time. Applicant does not explain the plan for obtaining feedback from primary stakeholders. Proposed budget is extremely large for a six week program. Applicant does describe who is responsible for each activity listed in the time line. Unclear what the participant learning objectives are. Not clear what will occur during the school year? Applicant should have provided a list of accomplishments from current projects/camps. No safeguards to ensure the one on one mentoring is a positive experience. Plans for developing financial support of program are very vague. Overall three-year plan is very vague. No description for project orientation. STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS Staff does not recommend funding for this program. �Michigan Community Service Commission Proposal Review Form DATE: PROPOSAL: 11-10-97 GRANT CATEGORY: LS-CBO Youth and Company LS98-22C FUNDING REQUESTED: $25,000 TOTAL BUDGET: $50,000 DESCRIPTION Three community agencies: Youth and Company, The South Haven Area Chamber of Commerce and South Haven Public Schools have formed a partnership to 1) improve the academic performance of middle school students, 2) improve the citizenship of middle school students through service learning, 3) ensure; for the future, an employable work force capable of working in a multicultural work environment, 4) to decrease the rate of juvenile crime within the city, 5) to provide qualified day care for children in high need and, 6) address the community's concern for the safety of its children. STRENGTHS • The overall concept is good. • Student involvement in high level decision making gives them strong ownership in the program. • Clear measurable objectives. • Number of participants and those impacted are high. • Strong academic achievement goals. • Strong community involvement - nonprofit, schools, and chamber. • Strong school commitment, support and buy-in. • Collaborating agencies demonstrate the capacity to run a program • Middle school teacher training in service-learning WEAKNESSES • There is not a clear picture of the overall design and structure, nor of the program activities. • There needs to be a stronger connection between community needs to proposed activities. • Applicant did not elaborate on day to day operation of the program. • Timeline should be more developed and needs to include the person responsible for carrying out tasks. • Need to revise community service objectives - the measures are not consistent with outcomes. • No plan for how service-learning will be implemented in the middle school. • The proposals does not clearly describe the business connection to the program. • Applicant did not describe how helping others will increase academic achievement. • The Partnership and Sustainability Section was extremely vague- needed to demonstrate partner commitment. • The applicant needs to improve the three year plan for sustaining the program to include how the fmancial resources will be obtained. • Need to describe on what basis it is expected that the project will be supported after the grant expires. • Need to include more detailed information on the Van Buren Intermediate School District evaluation. • Proposal does not clearly describe how participant activities will support the anticipated outcomes. • Need to detail who receives surveys and how these are used to improve the quality of the program. • A monitoring and evaluation timeline was not provided. • Not clear if the evaluation measures are for service recipients or participants. • Participant supervision is unclear. A number of supervisor possibilities, however no person established as responsible for supervision or for setting up schedules for volunteer supervisors. • Staff does not seem to have service-learning background or experience. • Participant training is not described. How will participants be prepared to perform activities? Who will be responsible for this? • $5,750 in supplies should be broken down better. STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS Staff does not recommend funding for this program. �Michigan Community Service Commission Proposal Review Form DATE: 11-10-97 PROPOSAL: GRANT CATEGORY: LS-CBO Stockbridge Community Schools LS98-34C FUNDING REQUESTED: $13,200 TOTAL BUDGET: $20,330 DESCRIPTION Paint the Town: Bringing a Community Together Through Art will involve students, community volunteers, parents, local artists, and senior adults painting murals depicting local history. Mural painting is an art form used throughout history to enhance and beautify public and private community spaces. This project will encompass the Stockbridge, Munith and Gregory communities in an effort to teach local history, strengthen the sense of community, teach art skills, mobilize volunteer talent and empower citizens to create change. One of the proposed sites, which was selected by students, is at the park in Stockbridge, where graffiti has defaced the picnic shelters and restrooms. Another site is an arched brick alleyway in Stockbridge that has been defaced. Sixth grade students will also be working with their adoptive grandparents at the nursing home to beautify the dining room and other communal areas at the nursing home. The Katz Elementary School cafeteria/gym is also another site for a mural as well as the playground at Howlett Elementary where the district's kindergarten program is housed. The project will be coordinated by Deborah Duranczyk, a local community artist and teacher who has an extensive background working with youth and adults. Site coordinators will supervise the students at all times. One of the impacts that this project will have on the youth participants will be a renewed sense of community pride and ownership. STRENGTHS • • • • • • • The proposal had a detailed timeline. The proposal lists interesting intergenerational projects. The proposal incorporates many communities and ages. The applicants are in the process of helping to form a community foundation. The applicant has grant administration experience. They currently have a service-learning program. The school has two years experience partnering the 6th grade with the local nursing home. The proposal lists the two staff members who will be responsible for the program. Their background is exc~ptional . However, the proposal does not list them as having any prior service-learning expenence. WEAKNESSES • • • • • • • • • • It is difficult to measure "an increase in report of sense of community" as listed in the second Community Impact Objective. It is not clear how the participants will be prepared for the planned public speaking/presentations. The proposal does not detail the genuine and important community need that will be met by the participants. The applicant should list an alternative plan if the community foundation is not formed or does not fund the program. Overall need to expand on the future sustainability of the program. The match amount is less than the required amount. Continuous improvement should be ongoing and should begin in the early stages of the program rather than after the murals are painted. The applicant did not list a plan for incorporating stakeholder feedback into the continuous improvement plan. The proposal does not detail how the program will assess the students' academic progress. The proposal doesn't detail orientation, training, or skill development for the teachers. STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS Staff does not recommend funding for this program. �Michigan Community Service Commission Proposal Review Form DATE: 11-10-97 PROPOSAL: GRANT CATEGORY: LS-CBO Downriver Guidance Clinic LS98-18C FUNDING REQUESTED: $25,000 TOTAL BUDGET: $50,000 DESCRIPTION Service-Learning participants involved with Downriver Guidance Clinic will work directly with the Opportunity Center programs, clients, staff, and other volunteers. Programming for the Opportunity Center will be designed to utilize the skills and resources of the participants and the corrununitY as an adjunct to the therapy in which clients of the Center (initially, children ages 10-14) are participating. Initial partners will include the University of Michigan (Project Corrununity), Melvindale High School, and St. Frances Cabrini High School. All service-learning participants will receive ten hours of pre-service training and continued training and support throughout their experience. The programming offered will represent a range of growth and developmental activities that are essential for children's successful functioning and socialization in today's society. Emphasis will be placed on five domains: recreational and social, arts and experiences will be designed for each individual and may include: one-to-one mentoring for literacy, academic support, or special interests and hobbies; recreational sports (basketball, volleyball, soccer, gymnastics, etc); adventure-based activities that promote team building; arts such as drama, storytelling, creative writing, painting, dance, and music; group activities such as Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts and computer clubs; day and family camps; field trips; and more. Due to their individual or family functioning, Opportunity Center clients have not had the benefit of these types of positive experiences. The child will be able to utilize the supportive environment to extend the work of the therapy session, focus on positive results, engage in positive relationships with peers and adults, and learn to experience success in their lives. We believe that when these clients experience success at something they feel passionate about, this sense of accomplishment will positively affect other areas of their lives. STRENGTHS • • • • • • • The Downriver Guidance Clinic (DGC) is set up to reinforce youth achievement. They already have a tutoring and mentoring math club. All DGC youth are special needs, having been referred by teachers, social workers, etc. Although the objectives are written for the wrong participants, the tools that they list are strong and well planned. There is the opportunity for students to get feedback from teachers to incorporate into their continuous improvement plan. Program will be open to private and public schools. The program will work with the UWCS service-learning center. The question/answer format of the proposal made it easy to read. WEAKNESSES • • • • All sections of the proposal were addressed and the proposal is well written. However, the fundamental issue is that the service-learning component is missing. The Learn and Serve CBO program is designed for and limited to service and education opportunities for K-12 youth. Primary participants should be viewed not as clients in need of service, but as the youth who grow and develop academic, personal skills, and civic responsibility through their service to the corrununity. College students, while helpful partners in this, should be seen a volunteers with the program - not the participants. The participant objectives refer to University of Michigan students and other volunteers rather thanK12 students who are learning through service. Proposal focuses on youth as recipient of services. Does not detail learning through service. There are no corrununity service opportunities listed for the K-12 students. �• • • • • Although the proposal describes the overall structure of DGC, it does not specifically detail this program' s structure. Although there is a description of how they will obtain partners to support the DGC, there is no description of how this support relates to the program's service and education goals. Overall, there is a lot of discussion of the DGC (how it' s set up, how it will establish a program, etc.) However, the proposal does not adequately describe the education, civic, and service components, nor the impact it will have on the K-12 youth. Although they have aPR campaign listed, it is very vague. Instead of drawing from the Key Club, NHS , etc., the proposal should also pull from other "at risk" students. STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS Staff does not recommend funding for this program. �Michigan Community Service Commission Proposal Review Form DATE: PROPOSAL: 11-10-97 GRANT CATEGORY: LS-CBO ACCESS LS98-08C FUNDING REQUESTED: $30,000 TOTAL BUDGET: $238,329 DESCRIPTION ACCESS Youth and Education services include: After-school Tutoring and Homework Assistance, Learning Abilities Program (LAP), The Summer Youth Program (SYP), the Southend Environmental Action, Research, and Study Project (SEARS), in addition to supplemental sessions by visiting experts to speak to these youth in areas of interest and concern (smoking, drugs, alcohol, AIDS, non-violent reconciliation, environment and ecology, cultural heritage and history, community history and involvement), academics based competitions (spelling bees, math pentathlons, reading and writing programs), and careers planning. The After-School Tutoring and Homework Assistance Program is open to youth from our community to receive homework assistance in a library setting they have no other access to and with bilingual tutors (most parents, because of lack of English literacy, are unable to assist their children). The LAP addresses the special needs of learning disabled and new immigrant children with no English language with intense, small group study. The Summer Youth Program (SYP) is a 6 week recreational, reading, and arts and crafts program for students aged 5-18. A second summer program, Reading is Great (RIG), an intensive English enhancement class for children, was developed to ensure students continue to improve their English speaking and literacy skills over the summer, augmenting the Dearborn Public Schools/Bilingual Department. The RIG Program focuses on reading, comprehension, and writing. Students read books from a book list determined by grade level reading ability, earning points to "buy" school supplies and prizes. Students work with bilingual high school youth leaders in various reading drills and write detailed essays of their books. STRENGTHS • Program proposes working with a high-need group of recent immigrants. • Former tutees will be involved as tutors in the program. • Good ratio of youth participants to supervisors. • Former Points Of Light award recipient. WEAKNESSES The proposal does not list a one-year time table with projected dates, target populations, and persons responsible. • It is difficult to distinguish who are the service recipients vs. who are the service providers. • With regard to the environmental objectives/projects it is unclear as to the intended civic, academic effective on the youth. In addition, it is not clear as to the project's impact (through service activities) on the community. • Overall, the proposal spent a higher percentage of time/space restating the community's language needs and not enough time/space discussing how the youth will develop (personally, civic, or academically) through the service opportunities. • Overall the writer elaborates on the type of services and programs available for youth, but does not clearly describe opportunities for the youth to serve. • It is not clear how participants will be recruited or trained. • It is unclear how much activity will occur year-round. The projects appears to be concentrated on summer activity. • The three-year plan for enhancing and sustaining the program is very vague. • The community impact objectives appear to be participant objectives. They do not articulate the impact the participants' service will have on the community. • The proposal does not list clear assessment measures and evaluation tools. • Section #1 is extremely difficult to follow. • The applicant is relying too much on their reputation rather than demonstrating their capacity in the narrative. • �STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS Staff does not recommend this program for funding. �Michigan Community Service Commission Proposal Review Form DATE: 11-10-97 PROPOSAL: GRANT CATEGORY: LS-CBO Clinton River Watershed Council (CRWC) LS98-16C FUNDING REQUESTED: $34,211 TOTAL BUDGET: $34,211 DESCRIPTION Clinton River Watershed Council's Student Volunteer Monitoring Program provides students in elementary, middle, high school, and college, both public and private, the opportunity to participate in a hands-on integrated approach to analyzing water resources management issues. Students test the Clinton River and its tributaries biannually using chemical, physical and biological parameters. At an annual fall Student Congress, students analyze their monitoring data and attend workshops lead by community leaders to learn skills to formulate action projects that will benefit the watershed an its communities. Ways the CRWC plans to expand and improve the SVMP is by convening a Student Watershed Council, planning and implementing a Clinton River Community Festival, training college interns to work with schools in the program, and starting a mini-grant fund for schools to obtain materials for their action projects. STRENGTHS • • • • • There is evidence of community partnerships to support the program. The program has the potential to impact a large number of students, however, due to the size and scope of the program there is the potential that "things may slip through the cracks" with regard to administration. The program reinforces science through real-world experience. The science goals are related to the goals and objectives in science education. The program provides students with leadership opportunities. The schools involved in the program are diverse. The program also has the support and involvement of Oakland University. WEAKNESSES • • • • • • • • • • • How the program will reinforce student academic achievement and the development of personal and civic responsibility was stated very weakly. The proposal did not include any specific information enabling reviewers to gauge the effectiveness or plan for this. While the need for the program seems genuine and important to the applicant, the proposal does not demonstrate that the community really wants/needs the proposed program. The participant outcomes are mostly measured by qualitative data, the proposal does not necessarily make the connection to curriculum. The program time line does not indicate who is responsible for each activity. A financial need for the grant is not evident. The program will continue with or without Learn and SERVE funding. Assuming that the program has the capacity/capability to support 850 youth on a yearly basis, the increase in students by 50 each year appears to be a small number. It is not clear what the applicant's goals for development and sustainability are. The program budget primarily supports staff salaries. The proposal did not describe the outcome goals and measurable objectives for community service and participants. The participant and community service objectives need clarification. The proposal does not describe the procedures that will be used to assess program progress and impact and for making necessary modifications in plan of action. The proposal also does not provide a description of the evaluation tools that will be used or developed. The monitoring, evaluation, and implementation of continuous improvement section of the paper was vaguely described. While all questions were addressed, they were not concrete enough to gauge the effectiveness of the plan. �• While some staff have worked with youth previously, there was no indication that any of the staff has a service-learning background; nor is it evident that service-learning training will be provided to them. STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS Staff does not recommend funding for this program. �Michigan Community Service Commission Proposal Review Form DATE: 11-10-97 PROPOSAL: GRANT CATEGORY: LS-CBO Botsford Health Care Continuum LS98-06C FUNDING REQUESTED: $23,271 TOTAL BUDGET: $46,954 DESCRIPTION The Botsford Med-Camp Corps is a student-focused program designed to prepare the coming generation of physicians and community members to develop a patient-centered health system, concentrating on maintaining public health. Student participants will encounter a diversified medical health care experience in collaboration with physicians who believe in the holistic wellness philosophy. They will learn diagnostic assessment skills as well as treatment alternatives familiar to family physicians. Students will learn about the psycho-social and economic factors contributing to illness and how a community can work together in managing these factors for a healthier community. Students will be armed with the necessary communication tools to engage, present and persuade the community to which they reach out. Armed with medical knowledge and a new sense of self-confidence gained from presentation training, Summer MedCamp students will spend the school year as peer counselors, presentation specialists and discussion leaders. The Med-Camp Corps will present their message about at-risk and wellness initiatives to peer student groups as well as community and civic groups. STRENGTHS • • • • • • • • The overall program design was well thought out and developed. Participants are involved in every step of decision making. Peer training component in staff orientation and training Close connection to Farmington schools Good pre- and post-test schedule Continuous assessment of program Organization is a full service medical facility. Demonstrate organization capacity to operate the program WEAKNESSES • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • Number of participant appears extremely low. Proposal unclear about number of presentations participants will make in the community. The program will charge an enrollment fee for participation. The proposal does not describe what genuine and important community needs will be met by Learn and SERVE participants. Not clear that program is based on community or educational need, rather, it seems that this is an existing program with resources to support it's continuation. Applicant doesn't clearly describe the expected outcome of activities performed by participants. Not clear how the service experiences are connected to academic or civic responsibility. Mentions that there are several existing partnerships, but doesn't describe community collaboration. The three-year plan for enhancing and sustaining this service-learning program was not really addressed. The applicant needs to better describe how the program will secure the necessary fmancial resource to continue after the grant expires. Vague/weak methods for assessment. No clear benchmarks for achievement. Not clear how regular feedback from primary stakeholders will be solicited. Staff summaries do not show any experience with service-learning nor do they describe how servicelearning training will be provided for the staff mentioned. The time line does not indicate persons responsible for each activity. Applicant does not demonstrate fmancial need well. In fact, money already exists to fund most of the program. �STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS Staff does not recommend this proposal for funding. �Michigan Community Service Commission Proposal Review Form DATE: 11-10-97 PROPOSAL: GRANT CATEGORY: LS-CBO Head Waters Land Conservancy LS98-23C FUNDING REQUESTED: $22,450 TOTAL BUDGET: $26,700 DESCRIPTION The Alcona County Conservation Partnership utilizes a public/private partnership of natural resource managers and educators to involve youth in conservation efforts and increase volunteerism to protect critical lands. Participants will be involved in the development of a conservation strategy, identification of critical properties, discussions with property owners, development of conservation easements and land management plans, and informing the public of issues and opportunities related to existing pressures of development on critical lands. Partners in the project are the Head Waters Land Conservancy, Alcona Community Schools, Alcona-Montmorency-Alpena Education Service District, Sprinkler Lake Education Center, Michigan State University Extension, Alcona County Soil Conservation District and the Huron Pines Resource, Conservation and Development Area Council. STRENGTHS • • • • • The program represents a frrst time partnership to address land conservation. Fiscal agent seems adequate to administer a program such as this one. Objective sheets are strong and detailed compared to the rest of the paper. Good description of partners and agencies. Partners represent both community-based organizations and schools. Plans shows potential to have long and short term benefits to the community. WEAKNESSES • • • • • • • • • • • • It is unclear how long youth stay in the project. Reviewers could not tell if youth would be involved with the program for the entire year. Applicant does not provide a compelling argument that land conservation is a critical issue or that it relates strongly to the needs of youth in the community. The program seems to be the result of existing activities with community partners playing the central role. Participants in this program seem to be add ons. The plan to explore funding through community foundations and to secure contributions for an endowment, while promising, is weakly described. It is unclear if the 25 student participants are in a class or if the program will run after school. No description of the target audience. Applicant needs to more fully detail what the service and educational activities are. There is no mention of a plan to secure the necessary fmancial resources to continue the Learn and SERVE-Michigan effort after the expiration of the grant. No description of what connections will be made with local resources and/or educational reform efforts in order to get support and assistance for sustaining this program. No description of the likelihood if this program will be permanently adopted after the expiration of the grant. There is a plan for getting feedback from primary stakeholders but it is not clear how often that will occur. Applicant does not describe Tom Hurst's roles and responsibilities as the person in charge of the education component. There is no guarantee that participants selected for the program will include economic and economically disadvantaged youth.

A gazebo will be built interfacing senior volunteers with student of the Building Trades classes. A computer lab will be established for the Community Center in Sumpter for the express purpose of teaching older adults basic information systems so they are them able to participate in an e-mail pen-pal communication program with youth in South Middle School's Computer Classes. Students and senior citizens can then share understandings about other relevant academic courses such as Social Studies units where the over 60-year-old shares reminiscences of World War II, the depression, the advent of electricity and the automobile etc. Students, in tum will share with their older counterparts "what's happening" in the world of technology today. These attempts will lead to the introduction and/or further study of conflict resolution techniques. One goal in later funding is to use the internet as a tool for conflict role play. STRENGTHS • • • Strong community partnerships. Partnership with police department sounds good, but it is not clear what their role is. Applicant demonstrates an understanding for and appreciated of the importance of program evaluation. WEAKNESSES • • • • • • • • • • • • • Not clear how the evaluation plans connect to the goals/objectives. Peer reviewers wondered if there were more compelling needs for an economically depressed area than to build a butterfly gazebo and a senior computer lab. Applicant did not clearly demonstrate a need for these things in a manner that connected the community issues identified. Applicant did not quantify how many students and seniors will participate in this program. Measurable objectives were not quantified. Proposal lacks detail on the background and accomplishments of key staff. Participant impact is not clearly defmed. Student achievement seems secondary to senior activities. Does not defme: how youth will be included in the planning and implementation of the program; how recognition for exemplary service will be provided; plans of equitable access, a one-year timeline; or measurable objectives for participant outcomes. Program seems to be driven by the needs of seniors at the senior center rather than on the needs of youth. The entire Partnerships and Sustainability section is lacks detail. Plan for recruiting students is unclear. No clear timeline for training staff and students. Applicant views students as recipients of service rather than the providers of service which is contrary to what the service-learning methodology . It is not clear if the coordinator has student involvement/youth development experience.

Indeed, if I'm totally honest with myself and as well as you, the challenge and the level of personal satisfaction actually exceed my earlier expectations. I must extend mega kudos to our tireless and very talented staff who' ve readily accepted me in this role and have done much to make life comfortable for me. I should mention, too, that I've received tremendous support from our Commission Chairperson, Jobs Commission administrators and other key state staffers. I approach the next four months with considerable enthusiasm and commitment to moving the Commission forward in a positive manner. Information below will provide you with an update of key administrative and programmatic matters pertaining to Commission operations. STAFFING UPDATE Interviewing has been completed for an additional program manager position within the commission. This person will serve as second person with full-time responsibility for AmeriCorps. I expect to extend and offer to the number one candidate within a week and to have this person on the job prior to December 31 , 1998. We ' ve also secured the necessary internal approvals to add another full-time limited-term position that would be involved with public relations and publication activities for the Commission. The hiring process for this position will be completed in the first quarter of 1998. We are pleased to welcome Mary Estrada back to her assignment. Mary has had some health problems which required her to be on sick leave periodically over the past year. Her return provides some much needed stability and administrative experience to the staff. A Division of the Michi gan Jobs Com missio n i! �MCSC-Executive Director's Report December 1, 1997 Page 2 UNIFIED STATE PLAN This document must be submitted to the Corporation for National Service by the end of next January. State's are being encouraged to examine ways streams of volunteer services can be integrated and coordinated within the state. Michigan is currently recognized for its leadership in this area. However, the submission of this plan provides an opportunity to build on current collaborative efforts and to exercise some creativity that representative significant change or innovation. I completed a series of meetings with Mary Pheiler and Frank Dirks to start the process of drafting a formal unified state plan. A copy of the draft document is enclosed with the Commission meeting mailing. Much of the plan identifies initiatives already in place, while there are several recommendations which represent a significant departure from what is done now. These will be discussed with the Commission and various parties involved to gain buy-in. INTEGRATION OF ACE PROGRAM Tentative agreement has been reached with the Michigan Department of Education to transfer the Alliance for Children's Education Program (ACE) to the Commission. This program has been in existence for 3-4 years and matches corporate volunteer tutors and mentors with public school elementary age students who need academic and social support. There are currently 40 companies around the state participating in the program. The Governor's office and Superintendent of Public Education support this move. Our discussions have included transferring financial resources and administrative support for the program to the Commission. This should be accomplished by year-end. / EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR SEARCH PROCESS The process for selecting a permanent Executive Director is formally underway. An overview of this process is included in your Commission meeting mailing. Commissioners are encouraged to carefully review the selection criteria and to help spread to word to potential candidates. STATE ADMINISTRATIVE PLAN/PDAT Preparation ofthe 1998 state administrative and PDAT applications were completed and forwarded to the Corporation for National Service offices in November. The grant applications total $354,052 and $150,000 respectively. Total administrative support from the state next fiscal year is expected to be $354,234 (total administrative funding for next year is $708,286) Federal approval will allow us to continue staffing and administrative support to MCSC until the spring of 1999. A copy of the two budgets are included in your Commission mailing. �MCSC-Executive Director's Report December 1, 1997 Page 3 NATIONAL STATE SERVICE COMMISSION MEETING Tentative dates have been scheduled for meetings where commissioners, executive directors and CNS staff can come together to discuss issues of common interest. A meeting similar to the one held in Midland is contemplated for the end of July 1998 in New Orleans. In addition, a meeting of the North Central Cluster States in scheduled for mid-February in Columbus, Ohio. Commission chairs and key staff will be invited to this meeting. Formal details will be forwarded to commissioners at a later date. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

I am currently in the process of closing out FY 97. Attached is our FY 97 end of year figures through 11/31/97. The final reports and close out of FY 97 will happen in January 1998. As in year' s past, we face many of same issues affecting the fiscal year close out: numerous grants ending at different times creating a constant push to process each closeout in a timely matter, working with the Corporation for National Service (CNS) on administrative amounts for our next grant year, reconciling with the state budget process as the state does not close out its books and . accounting until after the end of the calendaryear, and working with the Department of Management and Budget to process both a budget request for our General Fund support (GF) and extending/increasing our special project funds . During the last Commission meeting, I told you that the Commission had the opportunity to receive an additional $125,000 in special project funds to add to our current Volunteer Awareness Campaign. As of this date, we still have not heard the final decision on whether or not we will receive it. The request is currently at the State House and they have 30 days upon to deny the request. We will have an answer within two weeks but I do not anticipate any problems with the request. I would also like you to note that we finished out the fiscal year with a positive balance in our federal administrative funds. As you may recall, we were very concerned that we would.not be able to stretch out the funds after taking the large hit from the Michigan Jobs Commission for Administrative overhead. Please take a minute to look over the financial statement and write down any questions or comments that you might have. I will be glad to answer any questions that you might have at the Commission meeting on Friday, December 5, 1997, or I can be reached at the Commission during the week at (517) 335-4295.

The twenty-three proposals represent a total Volunteer Investment Grant request of $986,500, leaving $13,500 unspent. Due to the total amount of the Volunteer Investment Grant request being less than the $1 million dollars available, staff is recommending that each proposal receive funding-- provided that the applicant fully address each weakness as identified in the peer and staff reviews. The enclosed recommendation sheets reflect those areas and items to be revised, as well as the strengths of each proposal. Upon Commission approval, each applicant will be notified of their proposal' s status. The applicants will receive a letter detailing the ateas within their proposal that require revisions . The letter will explicitly state that an award will not be granted until each item is fully addressed. The following information includes a narrative timeline and overview of the Michigan's Volunteer Investment Grant proposal review process. November 12: MCSC received twenty-three Michigan's Volunteer Investment Grant proposals. November 21: The proposals were reviewed by a panel of peer reviewers which recommended that all of the proposals advance to the next stage of the review process, the MCSC staff review. November 25: The MCSC staff review was held. Staff reviewed each of the proposals for technical compliance and four key components: community foundation support, a detailed operational budget that reflects the amount of the Volunteer Investment Grant request, the quality of the local match plan, and the quality of the community volunteer action plan. The staff review found that each of the proposals would require revisions-- some minor, some more detailed. December 8: Upon Commission approval, applicants will be notified of their proposal's status and will receive letters detailing items for revision.

Bldg ., 4th Floor Michigan 48913 (5 17) 335-4295 (517) 373-4977 October 9, 1997 TO: Michigan Community Service Commission FROM: Terry Pruitt, Interim Executive Director SUBJECT: MCSC Update Just thought I'd let you know what going on after three weeks on the job. Absolutely, things are very different serving in this role versus that of commissioner. Just staying on top of the wide range of program activities is a significant challenge. Secondly, the bureaucracy ("red-tape") can be frustrating at times. Despite it all, things have gone very well. Transition activity between Frank and I have gone smoothly (I'm still trying to figure out the filing system). I must also extend mega kudos to a hard working and dedicated staff. Each has been a tremendous support to me. Also getting solid support from the Jobs Commission and the Governor's office. Let's highlight a few specific items. BUDGETS On the federal level we' ve received final budget approval for the '98 program year. Our federal grant totals $4,914,000. We've also submitted final '98-99 budget numbers to the State Department of Management and Budget which include a renewal of the $1,000,000 for Volunteer Investment Grants. The Governor will present his final budget recommendations to the legislature in January/February. The indication now is we should have no problem getting VIG approved for a second year. Our budget request also includes two new full-time staff positions. The request to the state is $1,450,000. Including expected foundation grants the commission's budget next year will total $6,964,000. PROGRAMS /ACTIVITIES - Michigan Presidential Summit Launch: MCSC is serving as one of the lead coordinating agencies. The launch will be held on October 20, 1997 at the Lansing Center with 600-800 delegates expected to attend. The program will feature a series of workshops aimed at helping communities understand the goals of the Presidential Summit and how individual communities can directly participate in the national goals. A Division of the Michigan Jobs Commission 06 -·~~ �- Multipurpose Collaborative Bodies Community Service Conference: This program will also be held at the Lansing Center on October 21, 1997. It will focus on how lead state agencies (MCSC, FIA, Public Health, Department of Education) can better coordinate efforts to utilize/promote volunteerism in the delivery of services and community problem solving. - Volunteer Investment Grants/Learn & Serve: Request-for-Proposals have gone out to numerous organizations throughout the state. Staff is preparing to have grant recommendations for approval at the December 5th Commission meeting. I have a personal request to each of you. We need your help in reviewing the expected hundreds of proposals we will receive for these two programs in November. We will need 50-60 peer reviewers to help judge these proposals. Please say yes when you get a call from a commission staff member. - Make A Difference Day: Scheduled for October 25, 1997 (We all can't be tailgating at the MSU vs M football game). Dozens of projects are scheduled around the state. I encourage you to join others in your local community to participate in service projects in your area. Commission staff is building a list of statewide projects. Give us a call if you need some of this info. MCSC staff will collect can goods at the Kellogg Center in Lansing prior to the start of the big football game. Mrs. Engler is expected to participate in this activity. In addition, during the game fans will be given periodic reminders about Make A Difference Day. STAFF It's a slow process in getting the two staff vacancies filled. Discussions continue with key players in trying to make some significant progress. We are also in a hold pattern with respect to the lead administrative secretary position in the office. Mary Estrada is currently on medical leave. We simply have no choice but to follow the state civil service protocols with this situation. Could take a while before we get to a point of resolution. I'll keep you posted. I'll be contacting some of you shortly requesting your participation on a selection committee to help in reviewing candidates for the Executive Director position. We'll start this process in 4-5 weeks. FINAL THOUGHTS Salutes to the following commissioners with the announcement this week from the Governor's office reappointing them to new three year terms on the commission. Welcome back Karen Aldridge, Mary Ellen Brandell, Arthur Ellis, Michelle Engler, Denise Hitch Lites, Dorothy Johnson, Kathleen McCarthy, James Muir, Joel Orosz and Matthew Wesaw. Thanks to all of you who've sent congratulatory notes acknowledging my appointment. I appreciate your support. I'm hopeful I can keep the ship afloat and on course over the next few months. Together I'm sure we can make it work. Regards, . ~~ttillw:lt Terry Pruitt �October 7, 1997 Dear Michigan's Volunteer Investment Grant Applicant: The Michigan Community Service Commission is proud to announce a new State of Michigan grant program aimed at encouraging citizen volunteerism. Up to $1 million is available in the 1997-98 fiscal year for the purpose of providing Volunteer Investment Grants to communitybased, volunteer, nonprofit agency partnerships that support the formation or designation of a community volunteer resource center. Part of the rationale for launching this new grant program is framed around the idea that volunteers provide a vital problem-solving resource to communities. Research indicates that ninety percent (90%) of Michigan's nonprofit agencies depend on volunteers to make services available. Thus, it can be said that volunteers are an essential part of the foundation of the nonprofit community. It is also a well established fact that most communities struggle with sustaining the proper infrastructure to support volunteerism. The Volunteer Investment Grants are designed to address this infrastructure issue. Specifically, these grants will permit communities to have an ongoing source of funds to expand the number and self-sufficiency of local volunteer resource centers while building their capacity to increase the number of citizen volunteers involved in community problem-solving. Grants are available between $25,000 and $75,000. The grant also requires a $2-$1local match on the part of the grantee and that local agencies come together in a collaborative partnership to designate one community organization as the community volunteer resource center.

Up to $1 million is available in the 1997-98 fiscal year for the purpose of providing Volunteer Investment Grants to communitybased, volunteer, nonprofit agency partnerships that support the formation or designation of a community volunteer resource center. Part of the rationale for launching this new grant program is framed around the idea that volunteers provide a vital problem-solving resource to communities. Research indicates that ninety percent (90%) of Michigan's nonprofit agencies depend on volunteers to make services available. Thus, it can be said that volunteers are an essential part of the foundation of the nonprofit community. It is also a well established fact that most communities struggle with sustaining the proper infrastructure to support volunteerism. The Volunteer Investment Grants are designed to address this infrastructure issue. Specifically, these grants will permit communities to have an ongoing source of funds to expand the number and self-sufficiency of local volunteer resource centers while building their capacity to increase the number of citizen volunteers involved in community problem-solving. Grants are available between $25,000 and $75,000. The grant also requires a $2-$1local match on the part of the grantee and that local agencies come together in a collaborative partnership to designate one community organization as the community volunteer resource center. Finally, the program requires the partners to secure the agreement of the community foundation to establish an agency endowment for the purpose of supporting the community volunteer resource center. The enclosed Request-For-Proposal provides details on the application process and program requirements. Please review this information carefully and return your completed grant proposal to the Michigan Community Service Commission office by 5:00p.m. on November 12, 1997.

November 14. 1997 �1997-98 VOLUNTEER INVESTMENT GRANTS Funding Application Instructions I. Introduction Up to $1 million in funds are available for the purpose of providing Volunteer Investment Grants to community-based, volunteer, nonprofit agency partnerships that designate and support an agency to function as a community volunteer resource center. A. Background Volunteerism is an essential ingredient in the health and vitality of communities. Volunteers provide a critical problem-solving resource to communities. Almost 90% of Michigan's nonprofit agencies depend on volunteers to deliver services. Volunteers are the human capital foundation of the community nonprofit sector. Yet communities often lack the infrastructure to support community volunteerism. More than half of Michigan's nonprofit organizations report that they do no have enough volunteers. Communities need infrastructure that supports community volunteerism. The central pillar of this infrastructure in most communities is a nonprofit volunteer resource center that recruits and places volunteers, and serves as a volunteer information clearinghouse. Volunteer Investment Grants will increase the number and self-sufficiency of local volunteer resource centers while building their capacity to increase the number of volunteers involved in community problemsolving. B. Goals Volunteer Investment Grants will meet two goals. • They will support and increase volunteerism and community service. • They will leverage local funds supporting local community foundation endowments that help sustain the activities of a community volunteer resource center. C. How They Work 1) A community-based nonprofit agency that is currently serving as, or is planning to serve as, the community-wide volunteer resource center, convenes local agencies to agree to enter into a collaborative partnership and to designate the convening agency as the community volunteer resource center. OR 1 �A group of no less than five community agencies and volunteers convene to enter into a collaborative partnership that designates a local agency to serve as the community's volunteer resource center. 2) The partners secure the agreement of the community foundation to establish an agency endowment fund for the purpose of supporting the community volunteer resource center. OR The partners secure the agreement of the community foundation to track contributions to a previously established endowment fund in the name of the community volunteer resource center for the purposes required by the Volunteer Investment Grant. 3) The partners develop a community-wide plan for increasing volunteerism through outreach and recruitment, the community's capacity for volunteer problem-solving, and the systems necessary for placing volunteers in community organizations and groups that need them. The plan should also include two community-wide volunteer projects in the first year. 5) The partriers develop a plan for raising the match funds to the Volunteer Investment Grant. a. The applicant may apply for a grant of no less than $25,000 and no more than $75,000. b. The Volunteer Investment Grant may support the general operations of the community volunteer resource center. No portion of the Volunteer Investment Grant may be contributed to the endowment fund. c. The applicant must match the Volunteer Investment Grant with a minimum of $2-to-$1 in cash. The cash match must be deposited in the agency endowment fund administered by the community foundation. 6) The community volunteer resource center, serving as the applicant, submits its proposal to the Michigan Community Service Commission, no later than 5:00 p.m., November 14, 1997. 7) If the application is approved by the Michigan Community Service Commission, a grantee will have six months to produce 50% of the cash match from the date of the award notification. At the time of the deposit of the 50% match, the community foundation will certify the formation of the fund and its match level to MCSC. Upon this notification, MCSC will release 50% of the cash grant in accordance with the approved Grant budget. At the time of deposit of 100% of the minimum cash match - which should occur no later than 12 months after award notification, the foundation will notify MCSC and certify the match level. At that time MCSC will release the remaining 50% of the Grant award in accordance with the approved budget. II. Eligibility A. Applicants Effective community partnerships are essential for supporting and sustaining community volunteerism. The Volunteer Investment Grants are intended to facilitate and enhance community 2 �------ partnerships that support volunteerism. Applicants for Volunteer Investment Grants must be designated by a nonprofit community partnership to serve as a community resource center. Public and private nonprofit organizations, such as United Ways, Volunteer Centers, senior centers, intermediate school districts, community colleges, and Cooperative Extension Offices may apply. As the designated community volunteer resource center, the applicant must agree to provide community-wide volunteer services including, but not limited to, volunteer recruitment and placement, clearinghouse information, volunteer training and technical assistance, special volunteer project development, and volunteer public awareness. The designated volunteer agency must not duplicate the services provided by an existing organization, but may serve to combine the services provided by existing organizations. B. Partnerships Volunteer Investment Grant partnerships must include the designated community volunteer resource center and the community foundation. The community foundation must agree to establish and manage an agency endowment fund for the designated community volunteer resource center. In a case where the designated agency may already have an endowment fund managed by the community foundation, the community foundation must agree to track funds raised to match the Volunteer Investment Grant. In every case, the community foundation must certify endowment fund levels and match amounts. Community partnerships are encouraged to exceed the minimum cash match and continue to build on the endowment fund. The local endowments will be managed by the community foundation and governed by the federal and state tax laws and regulations applied to such funds. While every community is unique, effective partnerships may include: volunteer centers, United Ways, community and neighborhood nonprofit organizations, public schools, community colleges, institutions of higher education, hospitals, senior centers, senior volunteer agencies, Cooperative Extension Offices, local government offices, and other entities that regularly involve volunteers. The purpose of the partnership is to demonstrate the community's broad and sustaining support for its community volunteer resource center. III. Application Process A. Application Review Process Volunteer Investment Grants will be awarded by the Michigan Community Service Commission (MCSC) on a competitive basis to eligible applicants. Applicants may request grants of no more than $75,000 and no less than $25,000. The grant award process will involve three stages including an expert peer review, a technical compliance review by MCSC staff, and final review and approval by MCSC. Applications will be rated on the strength of the overall proposal as well as the strength of the individual elements of the application. MCSC anticipates that the number of applicants will exceed the availability of funds, therefore applicants should make every effort to ensure that they prepare thorough, accurate, and competitive proposals. Grantees must submit a brief progress report after six and twelve months, and a final comprehensive report after eighteen months that summarize program activities, the status of the endowment fund, and grant expenditures. 3 �B. Application Requirements The application will consist of a cover page, narrative, budget, and appendix. 1) The narrative application must not exceed twelve, double-spaced, type written pages with one inch margins, and no less than twelve-point type. The narrative must include the following elements: • An inventory list of community volunteer assets and volunteer resources. • A description of how a Volunteer Investment Grant will strengthen and promote collaboration among these resources. • A description of the organization development priorities of the volunteer agency. • A description of community needs that may be met by volunteers. • A twelve-month volunteer action plan that includes at least two community-wide service projects which meet community needs and demonstrate measurable community results. 2) The budget section must include the following elements: • A detailed twelve-month operating budget and narrative for the volunteer agency covering the amount of the Volunteer Investment Grant request. • A twelve-month fund raising plan for generating the $2-to-$1 minimum match that includes possible or likely contributors and the community's experience and capacity in raising such funds. 3) The appendix must include no more and no less than the following elements: • Individual letters of support from each of the partner agencies. • A letter of support from the community foundation indicating its agreement to establish an agency endowment for the agency designated as the community volunteer resource center, and stipulating that it will cap its annual endowment administrative service fee at no more that 1% of principal. In a case in which the community foundation is already administering an endowment fund, the community foundation must include the fund level at the time of application and agree to track funds earmarked to match the Volunteer Investment Grant. It is important to note that only money added to an existing endowment fund after the application date, or certified by the community foundation as being raised for the express purpose of matching the Grant will be considered match. (The endowment will be administered by the community foundation subject to the standard requirements of the Internal Revenue Service and the State of Michigan. The applicant/grantee will be required to submit a fmal audit to MCSC for the fiscal year of the grant award.) 4 �IV. Review Criteria Priority consideration will be given to applican~s that demonstrate: • The scope of the community volunteer partnership, including collaboration among volunteer service entities involving youth and senior volunteers. 40% • The level of financial match support in proportion to the community's size and the plan for match. 40% • The relative (based on community size) number of volunteers to be involved in projects and the number of new volunteers to be recruited. 10% • The quality of anticipated outcomes of the volunteer service projects. 5% Submit Five (5) Unbound copies to: The Michigan Community Service Commission Volunteer Investment Grants 111 South Capitol Avenue George Romney Building, Fourth Floor Lansing, Michigan 48913 MUST BE RECEIVED NO LATER THAN 5:00 p.m. NOVEMBER 14, 1995 FAXES WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED 5 �Volunter Investment Grants Title Page Name of Applicant Organization: Contact Person: Title: Address: City: State: Phone: Fax: Zip: Name of Community Foundation: Contact Person: Title: Address: City: State: Phone: Fax: Zip: County, region, or city in which the agency will serve: Partner Organizations (use additional sheet as needed): Grant Amount Requested: - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Authorized Signature: - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Title: - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Date: - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Welcome and Introduction - Chairperson Michelle Engler The meeting was called to order at 1:50 p.m. by Chairperson Engler. Bill Trevarthen gave a short presentation explaining the Michigan Government Television Network (MGTV). Bill explained that MGTV will be doing a series of television programs in twelve communities around the state. There will be a focus on nonprofit/volunteer issues. II. Review of Minutes from the June 6, 1997 Commission Meeting - Chairperson Engler A motion was made by Commissioner Johnson to approve the June 6, 1997 minutes. Commissioner Begg seconded the motion and the minutes were approved. III. lnformationalltems: a. Michigan CARES - Pau1a Kaiser Ms. Kaiser explained the Phase II, Year Two grants were reviewed and dispersed. In addition, two competitive grants in the amount of $5,000 were available. Three CARES communities applied and Flint and Muskegon were the recipients of the grants. Michigan CARES in partnership with our evaluator, Karin Tice, developed a brief lessons learned booklet. The booklet was disseminated to all Presidents' Summit communities throughout the country. Five Summit communities have called to request additional information. The CARES dissemination plan has been finalized. A monograph detailing the CARES process, specific lessons learned and case studies of the communities will be developed. It will be completed by Summer/Fall1998. In addition, CARES information will be disseminated at key state and national conferences. Finally, the Calhoun County CARES grant is nearing completion and CARES Phase II grant is entering the final year. Under the direction of our Kellogg program officers, we have been asked to merge a new Calhoun CARES grant with a new, refocused Michigan CARES grant that would merge CARES into the efforts underway to achieve the goals of America's Promise. The proposal will be submitted at the end of the month. Mr. Dirks stated that Blue Cross/Blue Shield and First of America are willing to work with us in support of the Presidents' Summit. Chairperson Engler asked how many CARES communities were represented at the Presidents' Summit. Ms. Kaiser replied that five out of the seven communities attended the Summit. She went on to say that the Launch of America's Promise will be held on October 20, 1997 in Lansing. The Launch will serve as Michigan's first statewide follow-up activity to the Summit. There will be approximately 800 participants at the Launch. A tentative agenda for the Launch includes: • an opening ceremony that will include remarks from Mrs. Engler, Bob Goodwin and five youth from around the state; • two different breakout sessions that will highlight model programs and current initiatives that meet the goals of America's Promise; • delegation/team meetings; • a closing ceremony that unveils the Connect Michigan campaign. �b. Michigan's AmeriCorps- Daphne Wells The Corporation for National Service has approved our formula package. MCSC submitted five competitive applications more than any other commission in the North Central cluster. This means that the State of Michigan will have 22 programs with 752 AmeriCorps members working out of 221 sites in 42 communities. There are two programs that, if issues are not resolved, they will not receive 1997 grant money. These programs are the Grand Rapids Service Corps and Fitzgerald's AmeriCorps. MCSC is currently working on a Web page. At first the web page will be quite modest, approximately one page, but will grow at a later date. c. Governor's Service A wards - Lindy Reurink Ms. Reurink provided an overview of the 1998 Governor's Service Awards. The formal recognition program will be held on May 4, 1998 at the Lansing Center. Ms. Reurink explained that there will be 15 categories this year. She asked Commissioners to put the date on their calendar. d. Make a Difference Day - Lindy Reurink Ms. Reurink stated that MCSC mailed out 16,000 Make a Difference Day postcards. From these postcards, MCSC mailed out 2,000 Make a Difference Day project planning packets. Ms. Reurink explained that one of the Make a Difference Day projects will be a canned food drive at the Legislative Reception prior to the Michigan/Michigan State game. The Governor and Mrs. Engler will participate in the project. e. Learn and SERVE Michigan - Angelia Salas Ms. Salas gave an update on the third year Learn and SERVE Michigan grant cycle. She reported that she had sent out postcards to 11,000 people and organizations in the Commission's database letting potential grant applicants know of the upcoming application process. The application due date is October 20, 1997. Ms. Salas discussed the service-learning regional trainings. These trainings were sponsored by a grant from Quest International. The training sessions will be held at three sites around the state (Detroit, Muskegon, and Alpena). The trainings will be held in September, February, and June. They will provide entry level training for school and community-based organization staff. Each is designed to build on skills learned at previous sessions and to build regional networking opportunities. f. Budget and Administration - Garry Gross Mr. Gross discussed the budget report that the Commissioners received in their meeting packet. Mr. Gross gave detailed information about each programs' budget and expenditures according to available information. Mr. Gross also explained that he will be doing financial site visits to the Michigan's AmeriCorps programs in the third and fourth quarters. �IV.

The sign-in sheet for that course is attached. That training was in addition to a six hour emergency management overview conducted in March of this year. As the attached EMD Informational Letter and Policy Memorandum indicate, we consider the Michigan AmeriCorp EBRT to be a valuable asset to Michigan's emergency management system. Although we did not activate the EBRT for the recent southeast Michigan severe storms disaster (due primarily to the high level of damage assessment capability in the impacted jurisdictions), we feel that this type of resource is needed in our state. As a result, we would like to continue with the Michigan AmeriCorp EBRT program in 1998 and beyond, if the Michigan Community Service Commission is still interested in maintaining that relationship. . _ If the Commission is interested, we would like to identify and train new EBRT members as soon as possible after they join the AmeriCorp Program- ideally within 90-120 days of their appointment. I understand that many of the current AmeriCorp EBRT members will be leaving the program at the end of 1997. As a result, we will need to identify and train several new members to fill that void. By identifying and training the new members early in their tenure, we gain the benefit of maintaining a high degree of response readiness, and the EBRT members have an opportunity early on to learn what their disaster role and responsibilities would be. Whenever possible, we would like to have the EBRT members attend regularly-scheduled EMD training courses, so that they can interact with other local, state and voluntary agency officials involved in emergency management. That type of interaction would certainly benefit the EBRT members, and having them in class will help promote their availability to assist in disaster response and recovery activities. Our new training curriculum for Fiscal Year 1998 begins October 1. In previous discussions, we have determined that the most valuable courses for EBRT members to attend are the Damage Assessment Workshop, the Disaster Recovery Operations Course, and the Introduction to Emergency Management Course. Following are the dates and locations for those training courses for FY 98: Disaster Recovery Operations Course Introduction to Emergency Management Course November 4-6, 1997 January 13-15, 1998 AJ>ril 21-23, 1998 Damage Assessment Workshop Scheduled as needed I certainly don't want to limit the participation ofEBRT members to these three training courses. There are many other courses that they could benefit from attending. The attached 1998 EMD Training Calendar has a complete listing of our FY 98 offerings. I strongly encourage EBRT members to attend as many of these courses as they possibly can. The information they gain and the contacts they make in these courses can prove invaluable in their "A PROUD tradition of SERVICE through EXCELLENCE, INTEGRITY and COURTESY". �service on the EBRT and later in life. I might note that many of these courses fill up early, so I would encourage EBRT members to register as soon as possible. '• , .! At your earliest convenience, please advise me of your plans for continuing the EBRT program, so that we can plan our operations for 1998 accordingly. lf you have any questions or would like to discuss the matter further, please contact me at 333-5045, e-mail duckword@state.mi.us . I look forward to working with you and Daphne Wells in future EBRT activities. (Note: I have also enclosed the remaining EBRT T-shirts from the August used in future EBRT activities?) l4 training.

Make A Difference Day volunteers here in (city) are joining more than 1 million Americans in thousands of communities across the country who will spend Saturday, October 25 -the seventh annual Make A Difference Day- involved in volunteer projects. Last year more than 1 million people registered their participation and this year even more are expected to join in community service activities on October 25. In Michigan, the Michigan Community Service Commission (MCSC), Volunteer Centers of Michigan (VCM), Michigan Campus Compact (MCC), and the Council of Michigan Foundations (CMF) are partnering at the state level to serve as a clearinghouse for Make A Difference Day information. They will be collecting and providing information pertaining to service projects across the state, referring the general public to projects, acting as a promoter of media interests, and giving suggestions about locating community resources. Last year, in Michigan, they registered more than 160 projects with more than 31 ,000 registered participants. Governor John Engler has issued a proclamation in support of Make A Difference Day. "I encourage all Michiganians to become involved with a Make A Difference Day project. This day of service provides individuals an opportunity to give back to the community. Working hand in hand, together we can make a difference," said Governor John Engler. (In this brief paragraph, outline your project.) (Include a quote from the volunteer project leader.

At the Presidents' Summit for America's Future, hundreds of communities, corporations and groups pledged to volunteer for America' s youth. Make A Difference Day provides a ready-made opportunity for those new volunteer efforts. The goal of the Summit is to connect two million additional young people, from birth to age 20, to five fundamental resources. These resources include: an ongoing relationship with a caring adult, safe and structured activities, a healthy start for a healthy future , marketable skills through effective education, and opportunities to serve. (Information on how your project relates to the goals of the Presidents' Summit.) Nationally, outstanding volunteer projects will be awarded $2,000 to donate to the charity of their choice.

What do you need? A desire to help others, some ideas about what your community needs, a goal to accomplish, a plan that will make it happen, and a group of people who want to help you. This guide is designed to help you get your ideas out on paper and mold them into some great "doable" plans. Just get with some people and brainstorm about the following questions - and before you know it, you've got a Make A Difference Day project planned! What? What abilities do people in your group have? What resources do you have? Whom do you know, what do they have to contribute? Think about what you can do and what you may have access to. Does anyone have artistic talent? He or she could paint a mural or teach an art class to homeless kids or make cards for the lonely. Do you know anyone who could donate supplies or provide transportation for your volunteers? Just list whatever comes to mind. Be creative! Skillsffalents: Resources: What are some problems in your community? Is there an area near you that needs to be cleaned up or landscaped? Do you know any elderly or sick people who need help? If lots of ideas don't come to mind immediately, that's OK! Ask around. Ask your parents, teachers, etc. Read your local paper. Call your local Volunteer Center for advice. It's really important that your project satisfy a real need. Think about your community. What does it really need? Community needs: TAKING YOUR RESOURCES AND TALENTS INTO CONSIDERATION, WHAT TYPES OF PROJECTS DO YOU TillNK WOULD WORK WELL?

What if people get lost? What if it rains? What if people get hurt? What if ........ ? Take a few minutes to look at the following important tips on planning for LOGISTICS of your day. Planning ahead on these things can prevent some serious stress. • Specify what time people should arrive and how long they should plan to stay. • Set a meeting place. Hand out maps so no one gets lost or confused. • Create a transportation plan. How will people get there? Set up carpools or find someone with a van. Make sure everyone has a ride and knows where to meet. • Let your volunteers know if food will be provided or if they should bring food . Is there any place nearby to buy a snack? Remember, hungry volunteers can be grumpy volunteers. • Make sure everyone knows to whom they report when they arrive and that everyone has a specific job to do and knows what that job is. • Warn people that they should wear their grubbies if there's a good chance their work might mess up their clothes. • Brainstorm a detailed supply list. Make note of EVERYTHING you might need (tape, markers, Band-Aids, radios, paintbrushes, etc.) and figure out where you will get these items. • Make sure that volunteers know about any supplies they should bring. Remind them about the shovels, rakes, paint brushes, markers or refreshments they promised to bring. • Don't forget about rest rooms. Make sure somebody makes arrangements so that your volunteers have access to facilities when they need them. • Be sure that you have a bad-weather plan. No matter how good the weather looks, you should always have a plan for what you will do if you wake up that morning and it's raining. Let volunteers know that in the event of rain, the project will take place anyway or will be held on a specific alternate day. • Have a first-aid kit and list of emergency phone numbers (fire, police, ambulance, etc.) handy. Be sure that you know whom to contact in case of an emergency. • You may want to write all these details down and make copies for everyone who will participate. Be sure that your handouts answer the questions who, what, when, where, and how. MAKE A DIFFERENCE DAY = - --. --~ '-- zzell ... -0 . ' ' ::I ·. ~- ~-.- --= - =- II:' .. -< ~ -~ -' ,_ . ,_ ... z •.

You could do something as simple as having your friends donate their soda money for a week or as big as holding a walk-a-thon where people get pledges for the miles they walk. • Approach small businesses (like stores) in the area where you are going to do your project - ask them to donate money, supplies or food. Lots of businesses are willing to make donations if they receive a direct request and understand what cause their donation will support. • Make a list of big businesses (plants, corporations, banks) and call their public relations or community relations department to ask them to get involved. They may give a donation or link you with their employee volunteer program. Be sure to acknowledge their help on fliers, in welcoming or closing remarks on the day of your project, etc. • Contact local pizza chains and warehouse grocery stores - they may donate food or supplies in exchange for acknowledging their help on your posters or press releases. Volunteer recruitment and publicity • Run a poster contest or get someone to make an exciting flier about your project. Display posters/fliers in schools, houses of worship, community recreation centers - anywhere you think that potential volunteers might see it. • Send out an "official press release" on your plans - work with your English teacher or someone from your local Volunteer Center to draft a press release. Submit it to local TV and radio stations as well as newspapers about a week in advance of your project. You never know - you could get your picture in the paper or be on TV! You want as many people to know about your project as possible so that they will want to follow your example. • Take "before" and "after" pictures. Publish these pictures in your school paper, put together a bulletin board featuring what you did, share your successes in every way you can. Then people will want to get involved next time. Project follow-up • Thanking volunteers: How are you going to thank your volunteers? Will you end the day with some sort of celebration? Will you get dinner donated ? Will you send them cards expressing your appreciation? We all like to be appreciated! Ideas for thanking volunteers: • Follow-up: How will you follow up on your project? Will you visit those elderly people again? Will you clean up the park again in six months? It can be really fun to build traditions and work with the same people on projects again and again. There's always something you can do to make a difference. Ideas for follow-up: • Put an ad in your school newspaper including all the vital information about your project (who, what, when, where, why, bow) and letting them know whom to contact if they want to sign up to participate. - - - - - -- - - Make A Difference Day Hot Une: 1-800-416-3824 www.usaweekend.com �Examples of great projects led by young people including cheerleaders and those crowned, delivered the items to the Kansas City Salvation Army's Family Shelter. Spreading Warmth Alaska can be a very cold place - but some caring kids at the Elmendorf Air Force Base recently made it a little wanner. When a nearby wilderness community was destroyed in a devastating fire, 15 children in the base's after-school program decided to help the families who had lost their homes. They held a carnival and offered free tickets to anyone who donated an article of warm clothing. The children collected 175 items, which were distributed to the fire victims. A Helping Hand A 17-year-old student from Sale City, Ga., organized a group of 30 neighbors to paint the home of a blind friend . For years, the divorced working mom struggled to raise two children alone and could never afford the $2,000 paint job. Since losing her sight to glaucoma at age 54, there have been other bills to pay. Then her young friend stepped in, raising $1,000 in cash for supplies and convincing the Lion's Club to donate the paint. To ready the house before Make A Difference Day, volunteers worked afternoons and weekends pressure-washing the house, replacing rotten boards and priming wood that hadn't been touched in 24 years. A Homecoming to Remember High school students in Kansas City, Kan., put a new spin on choosing a Homecoming king and queen by donating more than 12,000 items of clothing, toys, books and food to the homeless on behalf of their favorite candidate. Before Make A Difference Day, about 1,100 students at Schlagle High School voted for homecoming royalty by donating items in candidates' boxes. Those receiving the most items were crowned at the homecoming game. That same day a group of students, The Language of Caring One high school Spanish class in rural Mississippi found a way to use their language skills to help women in need. On Make A Difference Day, they taught employees of a battered women's shelter how to better communicate with non-English-speaking victims of domestic violence. On several previous occasions, the town 's Women's Resource Center had been unable to communicate with women who came to the center for help. In a town with a growing number of migrant workers, limited funds prevented staff members from getting formal language training. In addition to tutoring employees and volunteers, the students put together a bilingual manual and audio and video tapes designed to help shelter workers understand the women's situation. Making Water Safer Some of the members of Youth Action Delaware (YouAct) in Wilmington, Del., got together and decided to do something about the condition of streets and storm drains in their city. Working with the Delaware Department of Natural Resources, the Christina River Conservancy and the Neighborhood Councils of Wilmington, YouAct members were able to determine the effect of urban pollution on the local watershed. With help from the local Boys & Girls Club, they recruited nearly 75 volunteers to label and clean storm drains, hand out information about storm drain pollution, and clear a dump site for an urban garden. With the help of the mayor, city council members, and lots of middle and high school students, they made the drinking water safer, and the community cleaner, in two of Wilmington's roughest neighborhoods.

Here's a quick guide to the basics of starting a buzz: 1. Develop a media contact list of newspaper reporters and editors, local and regional magazines, local TV and radio stations and wire services. Update names, addresses and phone numbers regularly. 2. Distribute a press release a week or two in advance that clearly conveys the who, what, when, where, why and how of your activity. (See the sample press releases in this kit.) 3. Work the phones. Follow up press releases with calls to reinforce your announcement and answer questions. Invite the media to your event and point out times when cameras would be particularly appropriate. 4. Develop public service announcements. Radio PSAs, which run at no cost to the sponsor, are usually easy to get placed and get your message out to a large audience. Use the sample provided in this kit, or write your own; send it to the public service director at a local radio station. 5. Get a local celebrity involved, preferably one who has an affinity for your particular cause. If it's a radio or TV personality, ask him or her to do a "live remote" from your project. It's a sure-fire attention-getter. 7. List your project online. A national database of local volunteers is being created at the Web site www.usaweekend.com. When you register your project on the Make A Difference DAYtaBANK, it will be seen by editors and publicists looking for good stories to tell. The DAYtaBANK is hosted by CivicSource (http://civicsource.org), a national organization dedicated to fostering positive civic action by linking people, tools and leadership know-how. CivicSource is a project of the Academy of Leadership based at the University of Maryland. Note: If you don't have access to the Web, fill out and return the enclosed postcard and we will use that information to enter your project in this database. 8. Get the government involved. Encourage local government officials such as your mayor or governor to proclaim October 25 Make A Difference Day. Then ask him or her to appear at your event to rally volunteers and attract coverage. Use the enclosed kit for requesting proclamations and enlisting officials in volunteering. 9. Make it personal. Reporters need to tell stories. Attract their notice by emphasizing the human-interest aspect of your project. Instead of saying, "We're having a coat drive," talk about someone who was helped or a moving story about why a volunteer decided to get involved. Make sure you have some articulate representatives comfortable with being interviewed by the media. 10. Form a coalition. There's strength in num- 6. Come up with one headline-making cause. bers.

Ask utility companies to insert Make A Difference Day Hot Une: 1-800-416-3824 www.usaweekend.com �• Make A Difference Day announcements into bills they mail to customers. Supply fliers to supermarkets to stuff into grocery bags. Use the enclosed billstuffers and personalize them to your event. 12. Contact local businesses that own a marquee and ask them to display a Make A Difference Day message. 13. Have supermarkets run Make A Difference Day announcements in their circulars (use the PSAs included in this kit), or to serve as headquarters for a food drive. 14. Ask local nonprofit agencies to come up with a "wish list" of their most pressing needs. Get your newspaper to publish this list along with details on how people can help meet these needs on Make A Difference Day. 15. Enlist student organizations. Meet with student leaders to generate excitement for Make A Difference Day activities. (Distribute the young people's guide included in this package.) Suggest a contest to see which school can collect the most food, raise the most money, donate the most hours, etc. Encourage local media to cover their efforts. 16. Contact civic groups and offer to speak at an upcoming meeting. (Use the speech enclosed in this kit. ) 17. Work with cause-minded companies. Certain national companies are very active in community service, including State Farm Insurance, Target Stores, Campbell Soup Co., Allstate Insurance, Kmart, EDS, ChryslerPlymouth, The Prudential, Chase Manhattan and Catholic Family Life Insurance. If there's an office in your area, check to see if they have a project planned for this year or if you can interest them in one. 18. Make it visual. One strong image can make the media feel your story is worth covering. For instance, let media know you have one central collection point for donations that will illustrate the scope of your project. A school auditorium piled high with soap, shampoo, canned food and other donations is a great visual for the media. Outfit your volunteers in T- shirts; hang balloons and posters.

Think of the tutoring supplies that could be collected, the infants that could be immunized, the playgrounds that could be built, and the home improvements that could be made to senior citizens' homes. October 25, 1997, Make A Difference Day, is just that day when friends, relatives, neighbors, and co-workers join together with schools, religious institutions, local businesses, and civic groups to do various projects that benefit their community. Since 1992, USA WEEKEND magazine, through its 37.5 million readers, and The Points of Light Foundation, through a national network of more than 500 Volunteer Centers, have worked as partners on the National Make A Difference Day campaign to challenge Americans to devote one Saturday a year to community service. At the Presidents' Summit for America's Future, hundreds of communities, corporations, and groups, many of whom were from Michigan, pledged to volunteer for America's youth. Make A Difference Day provides a ready-made opportunity for those new volunteer efforts. As a key member of your community, you and your organization's example can inspire many others to become actively involved in a Make A Difference Day project on October 25. In order to increase participation in this year's Make A Difference Day, we are asking that you develop or become personally involved in a Make A Difference Day project. We encourage communities to join together to host service projects. By collaborating with other groups you can increase community awareness, build new community relationships, and share resources. In Michigan, the Michigan Community Service Commission (MCSC), Volunteer Centers of Michigan (VCM), Michigan Campus Compact (MCC), and the Council of Michigan Foundations (CMF) are joining together to serve as a clearinghouse for Make A Difference Day information by collecting and providing information pertaining to service projects in your area, referring the general public to area projects, acting as a promoter of media interest, and giving suggestions about locating community resources. A Division of the Michigan Jobs Commission 06 _,,.., ~·~ �Traditionally, Volunteer Centers have been instrumental in coordinating Make A Difference Day activities in local communities. In an effort to facilitate coordination and collaboration of your Make A Difference Day project, we are providing you with a list of Volunteer Centers, MCSC, MCC, and C:MF contacts, as well as the names of other organizations and individuals that have sponsored past Make A Difference Day projects.

Capitol Ave. Bldg. , 4th Floor Michigan 48913 (517) 335-4295 (517) 373-4977 MEMORANDUM TO: The Michigan Community Service Commission FROM: Frank Dirks, Executive Director Michigan Community Service Commission RE: Executive Director's Report DATE: September 4, 1997 FAREWELL MY FRIENDS It is hard to say goodbye. It' s hard to bid farewell to colleagues and friends with whom I have shared so much, and who mean so much to me. It's hard to leave a job that I have come so much to love. Yet that this is a difficult departure for me is in no small way a blessing that I have received through you. The Lord has truly blessed me with this opportunity to serve a dynamic and compassionate chair, a dedicated and tireless staff, a brave and visionary governor, an extraordinary group of statewide partners, and the best state service commission in the country. You make it hard to leave. Thank you for all you have done for me during my service here. Remember that a piece of my heart will always be in Michigan, and that I will never tire in my support of service in this great state. Until we meet again, farewell my friends. HOW WE HAVE PROGRESSED These transitions offer a unique opportunity for reflection. As you consider how we have progressed since I arrived in the spring of 1994, I believe that you will be pleased with our accomplishments. MCSC has come a long way, but we can still do more. We should continue to be opportunistic in capitalizing on opportunities to expand and improve our services. Given our growth and development we also should give particular attention to tightening our internal office and administrative functions . I will go into greater detail on specific activities further in the report, but first, allow me to review a few of the highlights of our development. • In 1994, we enjoyed state funding support of $158,000. Our new FY98 budget, which begins October 1, includes $450,000 for operations, $1 million for our new Volunteer Investment Grants, and $125,000 for special volunteer outreach projects. A Division of the Michigan Jobs Commission il �MCSC September 4, 1997 Page Two • In 1994, we were beginning our first year of Michigan's AmeriCorps with 8 programs, 270 fulland part-time members, and a budgeted FfE rate of $11,244. Our new Michigan's AmeriCorps program year, which begins this fall, includes 22 programs with 710 full- and part-time members in 42 communities, serving in 220 sites. Our new budgeted FfE rate is$ 9,891. • In 1994, increasing public awareness of our work was a priority, and while this continues to be a priority, we have made progress. In the last twelve months MCSC, or our chair' s related work, have been referenced in at least 57 newspaper articles that we have tracked across the state. MCSC is leading Michigan's response to Make a Difference Day and America's Promise. MCSC is a leading partner in the state volunteer superconference. MCSC regularly prints and distributes an annual outreach poster. This fall, we will finally launch, in partnership with the Michigan Nonprofit Association and the Michigan Department of Consumer and Industry Services, a two-year volunteer public awareness campaign. • In 1994, our mailing list contained roughly 2,000 names. This summer, MCSC has appropriate database software and a mailing list of 16,000 names. Our mailings are generating increased responses from our constituents. For instance, with deadlines still weeks away, we have already received more than 1,000 responses to our Learn and Serve and Make a Difference Day outreach efforts. • In 1994, MCSC had developed only limited print materials. Today, MCSC has full, in-house publishing capability and has produced regular newsletters, bound annual reports, the annual Profiles in Service, informational brochures and packets, and a dozen quality outreach and resource guides. We have distributed more than 6,000 copies of these different resource guides. • Since 1994, we have developed a capable and effective in-house administrative and finance system. In addition, we have completely upgraded our computer systems. All staff work stations have a networked computer, and we have three lap-top computers for field staff. • In 1994, we had just begun an arrangement with the Michigan Department of Education (MDE) to support half of MDE' s Learn and Serve program coordinator. In FY98, under a new agreement, MDE will provide MCSC with $50,000 to support half the salaries of our Learn and Serve coordinator and her support person, as well as administrative activities. In addition, MCSC staff will take the lead in school-based Learn and Serve program outreach, technical assistance, and monitoring. • Since 1994, we have raised more than $1.2 million in private grants. ORGANIZATIONAL REVIEW PROGRAMS Volunteer Investment Grants Thanks to the efforts of commission members, our supporters in the nonprofit field, and our friends in the Legislature, the Governor's proposed $1million appropriation for MCSC ' s Volunteer �MCSC September 4, 1997 Page Three Investment Grants was restored on the floor of the state House of Representatives on June 12. As you will see from the enclosed internet message, Stan Stewart took credit for having it deleted from the House Appropriations Committee report. The funding was restored in a voice vote. As you recall, the purpose of the Volunteer Investments Grants program is to provide grants to community-based, volunteer, nonprofit agency partnerships that 1) support volunteerism and community service and 2) match local funds supporting local community foundation endowments that help sustain the activities of community nonprofit agencies supporting volunteerism and community service. Volunteer Investments Grants are available to community partnerships of nonprofit organizations from any Michigan community that designate a volunteer agency and include a community foundation. The designated volunteer agency must not duplicate the services provided by an existing organization, but may serve to combine the services provided by existing organizations. These partnerships will be eligible to apply for grants that will range in amount from $25,000 to $75,000. Grants will be awarded competitively. Applicants may request grants of up to $75,000 and no less than $25,000. The grant award process will include an expert peer review, a technical compliance review by MCSC staff, and final review and approval by MCSC. The local cash match will be deposited in a permanent, dedicated agency endowment fund established in the local community foundation for the purpose of supporting the operation of the community volunteer agency in perpetuity. Communities will be encouraged to exceed the minimum cash match and continue to build on the endowment find. In many community foundations, this match may be added to the permanent Romney Fund established for the same purpose, and the Romney Fund money may be used as match. From the date of the award notification, a grantee will have six months to produce 50% of the cash match. At the time of the deposit of the 50% match, the community foundation will certify the formation of the fund and its match level to MCSC. Upon this notification, MCSC will release 50% of the cash grant in accordance with the approved grant budget. At the time of deposit of 100% of the minimum cash match- no later than 12 months after award notification, the foundation will notify MCSC and certify the match level. At that time MCSC will release the remaining 50% of the grant award in accordance with the approved budget. Enclosed you will find the Volunteer Investment Grants Application Form. This will require Commission approval. If the application meets with Commission approval, the staff will have the Volunteer Investment Grants recommendation package ready for Commission approval at the December meeting. Michigan's AmeriCorps S ince my last report, we have conducted a preliminary analysis of corpsmember completion figures of programs in year two. In a few cases we do not have final figures from programs that operated with two-year, part-time members. We have found reason to be concerned with the completion rates. The statewide rate of completion among enrolled corpsmembers in year two was 50%. The program with the highest rate came in at 83% while the program with the lowest rate came in at �MCSC September 4, 1997 Page Four 16%. If you take out of the mix the four programs with the poorest completion rates, the state rate goes up to 65%. It should be noted that this low rate program was Eastern Michigan University, which relied on mostly two-year stipended student/corpsmembers. We recognized this problem during year two, and as you know, stopped accepting new or renewal proposals with two-year, part-time stipended corpsmembers. Our reasoning was that stipended, two-year, part-time members were less likely to fulfill their service commitment. As in our findings from year one, there is more reason to be encouraged from the Actual FfE rates. The statewide Actual FfE rate, that is the real average per person cost of the program was $12,833. This is $345 more than the original budgeted rate of $12,488, but still less than the CNS FfE target for that year. As you know, we have begun to work with the programs to improve their completion rates. We will closely track completion rates in the third year to determine how we have progressed and identify trends that may help determine future program operation standards. One of the positive effects of attrition is that we are able to retain unspent formula program money and we have begun to redirect this money to new program applicants. Our programs continue to struggle with the challenge of articulating and measuring their impact. This of course, is not limited to AmeriCorps, but our emphasis on outcomes in their reporting intensifies the challenge. We hope that the new Web Page reporting system, which I will discuss later, will reduce the physical burdens of reporting so that they may concentrate more on reporting program impact. We have found that we have fallen short of our goal to facilitate the development of a self-sustaining network of Michigan's AmeriCorps programs. I have been disappointed that our programs have not been more assertive in setting their own agenda and developing peer support relationships. This is not to suggest that we have not made progress, but it has not been as much as I would have liked. This year will be a challenge for the staff because we will have nine new programs starting up. This includes two education award only programs. We are in the process of hiring an additional program officer for AmeriCorps. This will enable Daphne to split her attention between AmeriCorps and the Volunteer Investment Grants. For the most part, we enjoy a portfolio of solid programs. Those programs that successfully re-competed have experience and will become leaders and models for new programs coming on line. There are a few programs that are of concern. We have placed Fitzgerald Public Schools on probation. They recently lost their program director after a site visit that revealed major programmatic concerns. (We did not find financial problems.) If the program does not demonstrate improvement we will recommend that they not receive a second year contract. Grand Rapids Service Corps remains on probation and may not be able to meet the requirements for corrective action that we have imposed. If they do not, we will recommend that they not receive the new program grant that the Commission provisionally awarded in the spring. Finally, we anticipate that we will have available formula funding for two or three new programs. We will institute a new application process in the winter for a fmal submission to CNS in May. CNS has already informed us that they will not be accepting new competitive applications. We will conduct a level of outreach in proportion to the available grants. �MCSC September 4, 1997 Page Five Learn & Serve Michigan We are in the process of conducting the RFP outreach process for school- and community-based Learn and Serve programs. As the result of our new agreement with MDE, we issued a joint RFP announcement. MCSC will serve as the clearinghouse for the grant applications. We will conduct the review concurrently, and, of course, the State Board will make final approval of the school-based grants. MCSC will have $136,000 in funds available for grants and MDE will have roughly $650,00 for grants. This relationship with MDE is critical, and Angelia has done an extraordinary job in managing it. By having a single point for Learn and Serve advocacy, Michigan will be in a very strong position to support youth community service. Michigan, thus far, is the first state to establish the service commission in this role. It should be noted that State Superintendent Art Ellis and his Deputy Carol Wolenberg have been wonderful and energetic in their support of developing this arrangement. In this spirit of cooperation, MDE is exploring the opportunities to be found in a close programmatic relationship with MCSC over the operation of ACE, MDE' s the school-business partnership program. The newly focused Learn and Serve Michigan initiative will enable MCSC to influence the youth community service program training and outreach effort as never before. With this in mind, we have begun conversations with Chris Kwak, a Kellogg Foundation program officer whom has made substantial investments in Michigan's Service Learning field. We share an interest in strengthening the development of the service learning field in Michigan, and will work together along with members of the Service Learning Leadership Council to accomplish this goal. Michigan CARES In August we sent the enclosed "Lessons Learned" to the local community delegation conveners from all of the communities that participated in the Presidents' Summit for America's Future. Thus far, we have received requests from five communities for more copies. Our Michigan CARES grant is entering its third and fmal year. Our one-year Michigan CARES/Calhoun County grant is nearing completion. Paula, CMF staff, and I have had conversations with our two Kellogg Foundation program officers, Chris Kwak and Joyce Brown, regarding further new grant support. We have been asked to merge a new Calhoun County grant with a new, refocused Michigan CARES grant that would merge CARES into the efforts underway to achieve the goals of America's promise. We will continue to work in partnership with CMF. As you know, we worked to ensure that the majority of our CARES communities and America's Promise Communities were complimentary. This has enabled us to promote the CARES collaborative process as a model for Summit communities. While this plays out differently in every community, we are confident that CARES provides an important infrastructure on which we can build and support our efforts in support of America's Promise in Michigan. We are pleased that Kellogg is interested in this approach and, while there is never a guarantee, will consider a proposal. Our intention is to coordinate America's Promise activities through MCSC in partnership with CMF, MNA, and United Way of Michigan. In addition, we will use this opportunity to continue to promote the Michigan CARES approach. �MCSC September 4, 1997 Page Six Governor's Service Awards As I indicated in my last report, Robert Cooper, President of Ameritech has already committed to underwriting next year's dinner. We anticipate receiving $10,000 in support. This will enable us to develop higher quality outreach materials. As you know, that while we have improved the quality of the event every year by partnering with the Grantrnakers/Grantseekers conference and the Mawby award, and we have brought attendance to 500, we have not increased the number of nominations. We hope that Ameritech's early support will enable us to improve our marketing in order to increase the volume of nominations .. Next year's dinner will be held on May 4, 1998, in conjunction with the statewide Volunteer Superconference. We anticipate that this will increase the number people attending the dinner. MGTV has already agreed to tape it again for the second year. Blue Cross/Blue Shield of Michigan is considering including their service awards program in the same manner as the Mawby awards. We continue to maintain the arrangement with the Capital Area Community Foundation in which they manage a dedicated account for funds donated to the awards dinner. Currently, there is approximately $3,000 in the account. We have done well to systematize the administration of this program. We will however begin a process of vetting all finalists after the peer review. We will ask nominators for, and check, additional references. This will help us avoid any potential embarrassment with inflated or even false nominee credentials or activities. Finally, we will be modifying the name for next year by calling them the "Governor's Service Awards." Make a Difference Day Our outreach for Make a Difference Day has grown each year. This year, we expect to see an increase over the 30,000 volunteers that participated last year. We selected the date for the Launch of America's Promise in Michigan with the intention of offering it as a good lead into Make a Difference Day later that week. Because the day falls on the date of the MSU/UoM football game, we have been working with Mike Tate and the two schools to organize a canned food drive during the pre-game legislative reception. The Governor and First Lady have already agreed to be involved in this event. We have also been working with USA Weekend to draw more coverage to Michigan activities. The recent story on the Lenawee United Way and Volunteer Center is the result of Lindy's efforts. MYPAC We have brought on a college intern to assist us in coordinating MYPAC activities. We are in the process of transitioning MYP AC into a statewide steering group for a new youth volunteer outreach program that would recognize young people who volunteer in their communities. This would be similar to the program proposed to the Commission during the strategic issues discussion at our meeting last fall . Young people completing a minimum number of hours of community service will receive a certificate from the Commission. MYP AC members will assist in outreach. �MCSC September 4, 1997 Page Seven Senior Advisory Council As you know from the last meeting, we are in the process of transitioning the Senior Advisory Council into an outreach and recognition structure similar in design to that planned for MYP Ac. The Council members have been very enthusiastic and involved in developing this plan. In addition, Commissioner Meg Smith has been an invaluable resource in the development process. We will work closely senior organizations and networks to ensure that our efforts complement existing programs. Legislative Service Awards I am not proud and, indeed chagrinned that we have not implemented this program yet. We will be seeking a second extension to the Kellogg grant. The reasons for this delay are twofold. First, the spring was unexpectedly consumed by planning for the Presidents ' Summit. Second, because of the problems with the Volunteer Investment Grant appropriations and the planning for my departure, we once again postponed implementation. Perhaps these delays are propitious in that there is no one better to lead this effort than Terry Pruitt. Adoption Program As a result of special Volunteer Outreach supplemental grant from MJC, we will initiate a new project to coordinate outreach for the state's many adoption programs. These are Adopt-a-Highway, Adopt-a-Forest, Adopt-a-Park. Working with the state agencies that administer these programs, we will conduct a unified outreach campaign called "Adopt-a-Part-of-Michigan." Citizens interested in taking part will call an 800# that MCSC will manage and then be sent an information packet and referred to the appropriate program management agency. Posters and brochures will be distributed to all state parks, rest stops, and hopefully Secretary of State offices. Adopt-a-Forest Project Working in partnership with DNR, DEQ, the United Conservation Clubs, and the US Forest Service, MCSC will facilitate a statewide Forest Clean-up week next spring. This will be a major undertaking that will provide MCSC with wide public coverage. Regional Trainings For the second year we have issued a contract to Michigan 4-H Foundation in order to conduct regional trainings for national service and nonprofit organizations. These trainings will not only support the technical assistance needs of the programs in our national service program portfolio, but will also provide MCSC an opportunity to facilitate networking among other nonprofit organizations attending from the regions in which the trainings will be offered. Last year' s trainings were well received and opened MCSC's outreach to a broader network of programs and organizations. �MCSC September 4, 1997 Page Eight OUTREACH MCSC's Relationship with CNS-Michigan's Office and the Unified State Plan Despite the unrest caused by our winter efforts on behalf of the national development of state service commissions, MCSC enjoys a remarkably good relationship with the director of the CNS state office, Mary Pfeiler. She is and has been willing to work closely with us. Nevertheless, until the question of the delivery system is resolved, national service in Michigan will not achieve its potential. MCSC, because of me, has enemies. This is because I have been unwilling to accept a thirty-year status quo. Remember, however, that Mary is a friend and supporter. Even though it has strained her relationships with current and former colleagues. The Commission must consider moving ahead with its efforts to propose a consolidated system for national service in Michigan. No logical person could look at the current system and not come to the same conclusion, but logic has its limits when it meets program and political self-interest. Do not let this unrest deter the Commission. The director of the State Office on Aging is ready to work with MCSC, Mary is ready to work with MCSC, CNS is willing to accept a waiver request from the Governor proposing an alternative system. Be bold, move ahead, and do not let pettiness defeat ideals. Connect Michigan The State Department of Consumer and Industry Service is poised to issue a grant to MNA for the purpose of conducting the Connect Michigan Public Awareness Campaign. This would be a two-year effort conducted in partnership with MCSC that will incorporate the materials developed and donated by Julie Cummings. We have agreed to rename the MCSC newsletter to Connect Michigan News in order to support the effort. The campaign will include TV and radio ads as well as billboards. This will be a much more substantial effort than the old Campaign for Volunteerism. We expect that the campaign will be announced at the Launch of the America's Promise in Michigan. Ford Foundation Funded National Meeting of State Service Commission Chairs and Directors We have continued to support the work of the state service commission network. Working in partnership with the Oklahoma Commission chair, who is also the chair of the state commission steering committee, we have submitted a proposal to the Kellogg Foundation. Under the proposal, the Oklahoma Commission, a 501c3, will serve as the fiscal agent. MCSC will remain in a partner/leader role but will have the opportunity to shift staff responsibilities to consultants or staff hired specifically to support the network. MCSC should continue in its leadership role, but relinquish the burdens of management. Michigan Government Television (MGTV) We have worked to develop a close working relationship with MGTV. They have recently submitted a proposal to the C. S. Mott Foundation that will support a town meeting on service and community problem-solving that would be facilitated by MCSC. �MCSC September 4, 1997 Page Nine America's Promise in Michigan We have worked to converge the work of CARES, Post Summit follow-up, Connect Michigan, and FIA volunteer coordinator outreach into one coordinated area. Paula is taking the lead with Lindy handling Connect Michigan Outreach and inter-agency relations. We have staffed the planning for the state meeting to Launch America's Promise in Michigan. We continue to work in close partnership with MNA, CMF, and UWoM. Plans for the meeting are being developed by a committee chaired by Sam Singh of MNA. MCSC will continue to lead the coordination of America's Promise activities in Michigan. Since May, we have been working with businesses in the state to develop commitment in support of the goals. The Governor is also sending a letter to all national commitment makers encouraging them to support activities in Michigan. While it has been, and will be, a great deal of work America's Promise has been an outstanding opportunity for promoting and positioning MCSC in the state. The Launch will take place at the Lansing Center on Monday, October 20. The Governor, First Lady, and the President of the Points of Light Foundation will attend. On the next day, we are working with FIA, the Department of Community Health, MDE to convene a statewide meeting of FIA volunteer service coordinators, Multi-Purpose Collaborative Body representatives, Volunteer Centers, and representatives from nonprofit agencies. The goal will be to promote public/private partnerships, highlight effective local models, and draw connections to America's Promise. FIA Director Marva Hammonds and her deputy, Jocelyn V anda have been wonderful in their support of this effort. We anticipate that MCSC Director Pruitt will participate in a panel with the other MPCB agency directors. Publications MCSC will experience a lull in its publications development until we bring on a new coordinator to replace Tracy McCloskey, who left us in August. We enjoy a good collection of products and will shortly have a new resource guide for businesses to stimulate the development of employee volunteer programs. We have worked with the Michigan Chamber of Commerce to develop this. We are also planning a MYPAC guide and a new edition of Profiles in Service that will be available at the America's Promise Launch. Finally, we will soon develop a citizen volunteer involvement pamphlet that will be disseminated as part of the Connect Michigan Campaign. Newsletter The shift in the coverage of the MCSC newsletter to Connect Michigan will increase the marketing opportunities for it. We will feature more stories outside of our immediate program network, while maintaining a strong service emphasis. We will be able to highlight models of effective practice and promote the spirit of America's Promise. �MCSC September 4, 1997 Page Ten ADMINISTRATION Our loyal friend, Mary Estrada may be leaving MCSC to go on permanent disability. We will not know the disposition of this until the end of the month. We will be filling two, newly created staff positions. Budget We will seek level funding for all activities for the FY99 budget process We are revising the MBI system and will create a Web page for MCSC that will be the reporting mechanism for all programs. Programs will report to MCSC and will be able to draw aggregate program impact information from the page. Only two other states have a system like this. Nation Academy of Public Administration MCSC will be featured in an end-of-year report to Congress from NAP A on the role and effectiveness of state service commissions. MCSC will be reported as a model for a commission that works. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
