After review of the YTD actual spending, I see no areas of concern. One area that we can look at adjusting is the salaries and benefits under Federal Funds, Operational. This amount was based on two limited term positions being funded for the fiscal year. As of this date, both these positions remain unfilled. Therefore, this amount can be reviewed and excess funds should be transferred into other line items. With over 40% of the current fiscal year complete, we have expended roughly 21% of the budgeted funds for administrative and program training. This gap between budgeted and actual expenditure will close considerably as this month will have our two major training/conferences; the CARES!fAP-Youth Service conference, and the Michigan's AmeriCorps Retreat. We look like we will have excess funds left in many of the line items to be carried into the next fiscal year to help soften the loss if the Federal Government does cut National Service. We will be able to get a better picture of forecasted unspent funds around the end of the third quarter, June 30, 1996. . A Division of the Michigan Jobs Comm ission ~, Q -~ ...

Te lephone FAX S. Cap1tol Ave . Bldg. , 4th Floor Michigan 48913 (517) 335-4295 (517 ) _373-4977. 7 ~-~~ --?)-:l~­ In my last report to you I outlined the following three priorities for our strategic development. 1) Seek an increase of state appropriations for Michigan Community Service Commission (MCSC) to support administration and operation. MCSC has currently requested an FY97 appropriation of $350,00, which is double our current appropriation. 2) Provide support to efforts to reauthorize National Community Service Trust Act (NCSTA). 3) Initiate efforts to secure a visible, sustainable, and funded role for MCSC beyond the current administration. These are the steps we have taken since our last meeting to achieve these objectives. 1) Joel Orosz, Mike Tate, Terry Pruitt, and Michelle Engler have formed a Commission committee to coordinate in-state legislative outreach. The committee has outlined a plan for outreach and information to the legislature. We have developed a contact list for Commissioners as well as contact sheets and talking points for coordinating information. We will distribute these for your review at the Commission Meeting. The committee has also developed a proposal for MCSC to organize a Legislature Community Service A wards program. The program would enable each state representative and Senator to nominate a constituent who has modelled outstanding community service. The legislators and nominees would be honored at an awards breakfast in the fall. A nonpartisan selection committee would select a single awardee for the highest honor. Joel has indicated that the Kellogg Foundation is willing to receive a proposal to support the first year breakfast and awards . We will need Commission approval before we go forward. A Divisi on of the Michi gan Jobs Comm ission 0' ~ �Michigan Community Service Commission March 8, 1996 Page Two 2) In early February, Ms. Engler met with Senator Nancy Kassebaum, Chair of the U.S. Senate Labor and Human Resources Committee, which will oversee reauthorization of the NCST A. Ms. Engler expressed her support for national service and offered to help in the reauthorization effort in any way the Chair thought best. The Chair indicated that she hoped to hold hearings in late April, but also expressed concern over a very tight legislative calendar in a presidential election year. At the National Governors' Association Winter meeting, Ms. Engler led a group of governors' spouses to an AmeriCorps site in Washington. Ms. Engler followed up the meeting by sending a copy of the MCSC Annual Report to all of the governors' spouses. Since joining the Points of Light Foundation Board, Ms. Engler has also spoken out on behalf of service and volunteerism. Since December, I have served on a Corporation for National Service (CNS) work group composed of state commission executive directors and CNS state office directors to attempt to hammer out reauthorization proposals for alternative administrative structures. I have also worked with my commission director colleagues to develop a viable association of state commission directors to advocate from the state perspective. We submitted comments for reauthorization in January and held our first independent meeting earlier this week. We are working to achieve greater state flexibility in the administration of national service funds while reaffirming state support for the field. 3) In February, the Governor and First Lady convened a meeting for New Partnerships in Michigan. Co-sponsored by MCSC, Michigan Nonprofit Association (MNA), and Council of Michigan Foundation (CMF) the meeting was intended to initiate a state-wide dialogue on the roles that government, business, and nonprofits can play collaboratively in meeting social needs and building stronger communities. Leaders from across the sectors attended the meeting. Their response was very positive. (The white paper, draft recommendations, an agenda, and participant list is enclosed.) We will hold a follow-up meeting at the Grantmakers/Grantseekers conference in May. Also, at the Grantmakers/Grantseekers conference, we will hold the Third Annual Governor's Community Service Awards. Placement at this event will further elevate its visibility and increase broader public interest in the awards. These two efforts will help to strategically place MCSC in the role of a visible and important institution alongside its partners CMF and MNA. Since last year Julie Cummings has been energetically working to develop an MCSC outreach and communications plan that will increase our visibility and public recognition. She has brought in a former Little Caesar' s executive as a consultant. She has also worked with a Detroit Communications firm. She has dedicated not only her time and resources, but her staff's as well. I have had a chance to review an early draft of her proposal and it shows great promise. I hope that those of you whom have expressed interest in assisting in MCSC communication and outreach will be able to join her for a committee meeting immediately prior to the Commission meeting. She has identified a number of important opportunities before us, and your help will assure that we will achieve them. �Michigan Community Service Commission March 8, 1996 Page Three In an effort to develop operational connections to the Department of Social Services (DSS) county volunteer coordinators, MCSC worked with Barbara Bradford of DSS to develop an AmeriCorps proposal under the CNS Governors' Innovative Program grants. CNS notified us in January that the Michigan proposal was approved and funded. We were told informally that it was one of the strongest they received. At the December Commission meeting we discussed MCSC' s fmancial situation in light of uncertain Federal funding. Since the meeting, CNS has provided us with our FY96 funding levels under the Continuing Resolution. Funding is capped at FY95 levels. Since we sought and budgeted less that our total formula allotment, the reductions will have no effect on our operations. Also at the meeting, Dottie Johnson expressed concern that Commissioners were not receiving written financial reports. Enclosed in your packet is a Comparative Financial Statement (CFS) for MCSC through 2/29/96. The CFS will be a regular part of all future Commission meeting reports. As I reported at the last meeting, the W.K. Kellogg Foundation awarded MCSC a Phase II grant for Michigan CARES. Since then we have received evaluator reports for Phase I. I have included them in your packet for review. Overall, they confmn the wisdom Kellogg's decision to fund Phase II. Further evidence can be found in the Kellogg Youth Initiate Program (KYIP) of Calhoun County. The KYIP director has set aside $100,000 to enable Calhoun County to become a part of the CARES project. We can thank our program officer, Chris Kwak, for her advocacy efforts on our behalf. In early February we began discussion with the leadership of MDE regarding the possible transfer of Learn and Serve school-base program administrative responsibility from MDE to MCSC. This was sparked by MDE's internal reassessment of its priorities and focus. Should the transfer occur, we will know in February. The details still need to be negotiated, but we would receive a level of ·administrative support to supplement our current staff. The program currently has an $812,000 . budget. .Transferring it to MCSC will secure it and enable MCSC to improve coordinations of state and local Learn and Serve activities. UPDATES AmeriCor:ps In the last quarter that programs reported, Michigan's AmeriCorps involved 1,315 nonstipended volunteers who provided in service hours nearly three years of full time service to their communities. The 247 active members gave 76,398 hours of service in the last quarter. In December, members volunteered to help out at Saint Vincent De Paul after their terrible fire. In the last month and a half we conducted intensive site visits to the programs. We have also brought in specialized technical assistance providers for specific program needs. Overall, our programs are performing as intended. We will summarize site visit findings at the meeting. Our renewal application is due to CNS May 1. The timeline is short and we will put forth no new programs. Accordingly, I am requesting that the executive committee be empowered to approve our package rather than reschedule the full Commission meeting. �Michigan Community Service Commission March 8, 1996 Page Four Michigan CARES We will be holding a state-wide CARES meeting in Lansing in late March. The purpose of the meeting is to refine community plans and promote cross-community collaboration. We expect _ roughly 50-60 people to attend the two-day meeting. TAP-Youth Service Also in March we will hold a two-day state-wide training conference as part of the TAP-YS program. At the meeting we will highlight the work done in Detroit and make available the TAPYS resource guide. The conference is offered to low income community-based organizations. There is no registration fee. More than 150 people have already registered. (See enclosed brochure.) Investments in Volunteerism The result of the CMF/WKK hosted meeting in February of 1995 is finally at hand. This guide (enclosed) will be distributed to our network, CMF' s network, and libraries across the state. PROGRESS REPORT ON SECOND YEAR OBJECTIVES In the three-year State Plan that we submitted to CNS in 1994 we enumerated our annual objectives. This summary Year Two objectives reflects our year-to-date accomplishments. In partnership with the Staff Advisory Committee and drawing ·on the results of the Year One inventory, identify, evaluate, and document model Kindergarten-Retiree service and volunteer programs and practitioners. The collaboration resource guide is still in development. We have scheduled a retreat for the advisory council in April. We intend for the retreat to identify and clarify roles for the council so that it may serve as both a resource for MCSC and the organizations involved. Among the recommendations discussed at the New Partnerships Meeting in February was the formal endorsement of the council as a regular collaboration and networking meeting for state and nonprofit agencies. The recently published "Investments in Volunteerism" identifies a number of service and volunteer programs that were deemed models by their funders. In cooperation with MYPAC and the Michigan Nonprofit Association, develop a state recruitment campaign for AmeriCorps and youth service volunteers. In cooperation with the Volunteer Centers of Michigan and the Points of Light Foundation, MCSC registered more than 80 Make a Difference Day projects that involved more than 12,000 volunteers. An information booklet is enclosed. �Michigan Community Service Commission March 8, 1996 Page Five MCSC mailed 2,000 post cards to individuals interested in becoming involved in AmeriCorps. Respondents will be sent an application, which, when returned, will forwarded to Michigan ' s AmeriCorps programs. MCSC is working in cooperation with the Volunteer Centers of Michigan and the Council of Michigan Foundations' Youth in Philanthropy Project to promote and coordinate April' s National · Youth Service Day activities in Michigan. Facilitate the development of at least two quality AmeriCorps proposals from neighborhood and community-based organizations. Through TAP-Youth Service, MCSC's partner, the Catholic Youth Organization (CYO) of Metropolitan Detroit is providing intensive technical assistance and training workshops to neighborhood and community-based nonprofits in topics necessary for any successful ArneriCorps applicant. The Continuing Resolution that has funded the Corporation for National Service is based on an agreement between the White House and the Congressional Leadership that reduces overall funding levels by 25%. CNS has administered these reductions in a way that maintains state formula funding and competitive program funding at FY95 levels. This means that MCSC will not be able to issue a new ArneriCorps program application process. Develop, with private sector support, an MCSC state service newsletter. MCSC has already published four newsletters with support from its CNS administrative grant. MCSC will begin a plan to develop private sector support this fiscal year. MCSC will disseminate a reader survey to the 3,334 mailing list recipients in order to assess marketability . . Establish a Task Force on intergenerational service program development. MCSC will hold its first meeting of the Senior Advisory Council in April. Members of the Council will also serve as reviewers for the Intergenerational poster contest that we launched in December. The winning poster will be printed and distributed across that state like Youth Volunteer Poster. Establish a Task Force on developing model national and community service programs that link Community Action Programs, Area Agencies on Aging, Headstart, school-readiness, and schoolto-work transition. Since January, MCSC has conducted a series of trainings that have drawn 250 people from ArneriCorps, Learn and Serve, VISTA, RSVP, Foster Grandparents, and traditional volunteer organizations. MCSC offered the trainings free of charge. Topics were Fundraising, presented by the Indiana University School of Philanthropy; ArneriCorps Program Leaders Training, presented by a former City Year founding staffer; Youth Development, presented by Detroit's CYO; and Service Learning, presented by a Coalition for Essential Schools. The Fundraising and Leaders trainings were held in Lansing. The Youth Development and Service Learning were held in Traverse City, Kalamazoo, Flint, and Detroit. Overall, the participant evaluations rated the trainings as useful and efficacious. �Michigan Community Service Commission March 8, 1996 Page Six Based on the participant evaluations, MCSC will modify the regional trainings and conduct at least tWo more this year. The objectives of the trainings are to provide valuable information, develop important skills, and facilitate cross-program communications and collaboration. · Produce and disseminate, with private sector support, MCSC posters for recruiting school-age youth to participate in service and volunteer activities. MCSC disseminated the posters to all of Michigan's public schools and volunteer centers in September as part of the Make a Difference Day outreach effort. Double the number of citizen respondents to the Community Service Awards Program and create a category for model community service partnerships. Despite an improved data base, and a distribution of 4,000 award applications, MCSC fell well short of its goal to double the number of applications received. MCSC got only 220 applications. MCSC will assess its outreach strategy as well as the structure and presentation of the application over the summer. Identify the five strongest Michigan CARES communities to be Lab Communities for promoting continued community generated private sector support. MCSC has anchored its regional collaboration meetings in CARES communities. With the Kellogg Foundation's funding for CARES Phase IT, MCSC will have three years to strengthen collaboration in these communities. Based on practitioner critique, revise the state AmeriCorps training and technical assistance. MCSC has already revised the framework for AmeriCorps training. In August, MCSC brought new and renewal program staff together for a two-day training led by a founding member of the City Year program·staff. In November, MCSC revised its AmeriCorps contractor's notebook and renamed it the Michigan's AmeriCorps Policy and Procedures Guide. MCSC will do the same for the Learn and Serve Michigan program materials. In January, MCSC conducted a statewide AmeriCorps Leaders training. In late March, MCSC will conduct a state-wide training of all Michigan AmeriCorps members and staff in Flint. Integrate state peer technical assistance consultants into AmeriCorps training and program development. MCSC has identified leaders among first year programs to serve as peer technical assistance providers. MCSC' s training plan calls for these peer T A providers to play a more central role in the second year. Michigan's AmeriCorps sites have already begun to host monthly program directors meetings. The Leaders and All Program Trainings are intended to develop stronger peer support · relationships. �Michigan Community Service Commission March 8, 1996 Page Seven In partnership with MDE leverage at least one school/community partnership by targeting School and Community-Based Learn and Service grants. MCSC' s Quest International and its summer phase Learn and Serve grants have been based on the goal of forging school-community partnerships. MCSC has built into its year two Learn and Serve Michigan funding renewal package a strong emphasis on school/community partnerships. MCSC has recently engaged in discussions with the MDE leadership over the possible transfer of administrative responsibility for K-12 school-based Learn and Serve programs from MDE to MCSC. The current budget for these programs is $812,000. Integrate AmeriCorps peer technical assistance consultants into Michigan Service-Learning Leadership Council and revise common training elements as needed. MCSC and the Council have established a common definition for service-learning. AmeriCorps program staff are currently members of the Council. MCSC printed a draft service learning principles and practices guide in time for the Quest conference. MCSC began dissemination of the Michigan Service Learning Principles and Practices Guide in January. The guide will also be distributed at the National Service Learning Conference in Detroit in April. Develop partnerships among community service youth action councils and local government youth councils in select communities. The printing of the results from the Youth Action Forums has been delayed until May. Initiate efforts to establish MCSC as an endowed public/private authority. Long range planning continues. MCSC must set final action plans by the first of the year. The New Partnerships meeting in February served as an important step in the strategic positioning of MCSC. · MCSC will initiate state legislative outreach in March. TheW. K. Kellogg Foundation has expressed an interest in supporting a legislative community service awards breakfast in the early fall. The service awards would be offered to a constituent per district nominated by every legislator. The awards recognize an outstanding commitment to service. A nonpartisan review panel will select a single awardee from all the nominees. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Against a backdrop of change greater than any single political party or sector of society can produce alone, this paper considers the inter-relationship of these sectors in addressing social . problems. Organized around the ideas of leading social observers, the paper calls for a new way of doing business. Specifically, the paper affirms the vital role of the nonprofit voluntary social sector in supporting democratic and civil institutions, engaging citizens in positive community involvement, and meeting pressing social and community needs. It considers the effects of societal change on the nonprofit voluntary sector and the sector's relationship with government and business. Finally, it outlines recommended elements for a new partnership among the sectors. Change will always bring a degree of uncertainty and anxiety, but it never comes without opportunity. Societal chanee has created new opportunities for innovation in the states. It is not possible for a society to de-massify economic activity, communications and many other crucial processes without also, sooner or later, being compelled to decentralize government decision-making as wei~ Alvin and Heidi Tofler (Creating a New Civilization, 1995) The American Republic is undergoing a provocative, once-a-generation transformation of economic, social, and political affairs. Re-engineering, reinvention, and reform are terms that have come to describe the social consciousness as much as the decision processes in business, administration, and policy. Corporate restructuring, the rise of the service economy, the shift from low-skill manufacturing jobs to high-skill technology jobs, job insecurity, and middle-class anxiety are all manifestations of change. The effects of this societal transformation are reflected in today ' s public policy debates and the substantial reassessment of longstanding policy assumptions. For almost a year, public attention has been concentrated on the ideas coming from the state and federal leadership of the new political majority. Yet, what has generally divided policy-makers is not whether 1 �to respond to societal change, but how. Many of the goals of the new majority, such as fiscal responsibility, welfare reform, flexible state administration of programs, government reinvention, local empowerment, and civic responsibility, are more intensified and elaborated versions of themes espoused in the winning campaign of the once governor and now sitting president. Everyone is being swept by the tide of change, the only question is where we stand in the flow. The recent attention given to the concept of "devolution" follows two decades of efforts by the leaders of both parties to transfer greater responsibility to state and local governments. Throughout this period, the size of the federal government workforce has seen a modest decline while states have assumed a larger role in supporting social programs. As federal policy-makers have struggled to develop a consensus response to the societal changes of the last quarter century, states have been left to act on their own. Despite having to do increasingly more, states, in recent years, have achieved efficiencies in their operations by streamlining and reducing the size of their governments. As in the progressive era, states have functioned as incubators of public policy innovation and reform. The principled call by governors of both parties for more autonomy and flexibility is simply grounded in the assertion that the increasing state responsibility for operating programs should be accompanied with the authority to set policies that be_st meet state needs. As Governor John Engler recently wrote in the National Review, "the fifty states are extremely competitive with one another. If they are allowed to experiment, the competition among them will create what is tantamount to market forces for reform. " • Regardless of one 's opinion of the effects of these changes, three things are certain. First, consequential societal transformation will accelerate, and policy-makers will have to plan for a world vastly different from the one that launched many of our current public programs. Second, states will continue to play an expanding role in governing the nation, and states will continue to serve as the laboratories for public policy innovation. Third, dramatic changes in technology, communication, and the marketplace combined with the increasing interdependence of institutions will confirm that solutions to our pressing social problems will not come from a single source. Innovative solutions to social problems will come through new partnerships and flexible collaboration among the public, private, and nonprofit sectors. 2 �The health of the republic will depend on three stron~: sectors of society. [The new high technology] society has to be a society of three sectors: a public sector of government, a private sector of business, and a social sector... It is becoming increasingly clear that through the social sector a modern developed society can again create responsible and achieving citizenship, and can again give individuals--especially knowledge workers--a sphere in which they can make a difference in society and recreate community. Peter Drucker (Atlantic Monthly, 1994) Within the sector that includes nonprofit, voluntary, charitable, and philanthropic organizations, there is frequent debate-over the best designation for the s~ctor. This paper argues for the adoption of Drucker' s term--the·Social Sector. It is simple, clear, and captures the essence of the sector's function. Social capital is formed in the social sector, and the social sector has become the source of most of the mediating institutions that function in society today. The three sectors must become facilitators of responsible citizenship by promoting citizen-driven solutions, not professionally prescribed solutions. The social sector will assume greater responsibilities in directly meeting social needs as government downsizes and society moves to de-centralized business and industry models. Accordingly, the Social Sector must become an equal contributor to social policy-making. The social sector has historically served as a pillar in American democracy. [The United States is the] one country on the face of the earth where the citizens enjoy unlimited freedom of • ·association.. .. This same c_ountry is the only one in the world where the continual exercise of the right of association has been introduced into civil life and where all advantages which civilization can confer are procured by means of it... The more (government) stands in place of associations, the more will individuals, losing the notion of combining together, require its assistance. .. Alexis de Tocqueville Americans ' proclivity to form associations, organize committees, and initiate independent action has long been recognized by social observers as one of the more important distinguishing characteristics of democracy in America. As first noted by Alexis de Tocqueville in the 1830s, and most recently reaffirmed by Harvard University Professor, Robert Putnam, voluntary networks, civic and religious associations, and philanthropic organizations serve to reinforce the formal civic and governmental institutions of democracy. The standards and 3 �norms that are formed through these self-regulating voluntary associations support the practices that are necessary for self-government. People learn to be responsible citizens by participating in the activities of these associations. At the same time, the associations themselves serve as mediating institutions linking individual citizens to the formal institutions of government. However, since these associations are most predominant in the social sector . they also provide citizens with a mechanism to take action on issues important to themselves and their community independent of government institutions. America's rich history of philanthropy and volunteerism grows out of this tradition of freedom of association. No · nation on earth enjoys a stronger social sector than the United States. For two-thirds of it's history the nation relied on volunteer, philanthropic, and religious associations to deliver most of what are now considered social services. Only in the last sixty-five years, in response to the enormous demands and effects of a highly centralized and industrialized economy, has government, particularly the federal government, served as the principal agent for social services. With the changes brought on by the new high technology society the pendulum is now swinging away from centralized service delivery. How far the pendulum swings back will depend on the scope and creativity of the new partnerships formed by the social and public sectors. Humanly successful societies are those in which the path to individual fulfillment lies through the enlargement . of perspective and heightening of responsibility which come from participation in the life of civi~ democracy. William Sullivan (Work and Integrity, 1995) The voluntary and philanthropic, civic and religious associations of the social sector not only mediate among citizens and government, they sustain responsible democratic citizenship. Democracy will only survive if free citizens continue to rise above their immediate interests and volunteer to serve their community or country for an hour or a year or a life-time. The organizations and associations of the social sector are America's teachers of volunteerism. It is the practice of volunteer community service that binds democratic communities. The ethic of service reconciles the paradoxical American traditions of individualism and community. The spirit of volunteerism links the frontier individualist with the community bam-raiser. When people help people they discover common ground. Through the practice of service, people of diverse backgrounds and interests afflnn shared values, and 4 �lay the foundation of a strong and healthy community. One of the most troubling characteristics of this era of change has been the decline of public confidence in public institutions. For the last twenty-five years, when consensus on many issues has been difficult to achieve, most Americans have shared the opinion that their faith in government, business, charities, the future , and even themselves is diminishing. Americans' declining regard for their government is so well known it has become a disturbing cliche. Much has been made of public frustration, but even more troubling is the public· s growing sense of its own powerlessness. A 1994 study, conducted for the National Civic League, found that not only large majorities doubted government's ability at every level to solve the problems of their communities, but that roughly half doubted even their own ability and their neighbors ability to solve problems. The health of democracy is most threatened when citizens no longer believe in the power of individual action. The public. private. and social sectors must become social capital investors. Social capital is critical to prosperity and to what has come to be called competitiveness, but its more important consequences may not be felt in the economy so much as in social and political life... The concept of social capital makes clear why capitalism and democracy are so closely related. A healthy capitalist economy is one in which there will be sufficient social capital in the underlying society to permit businesses, corporations, networks and the like to be self organizing.... That self-organizing proclivity is exactly what is necessa.ry to ·make democratic political institutions work as well. • Francis Fukuyama (Trust, 1995 ) Social capital is an amalgam of voluntary associations, standards, and practices that is created through public, private, and citizen involvement and investment in the social sector. Service and volunteerism are its essential ingredients. Social capitd generates what Fukuyama calls trust-- the public ' s confidence in themselves and their public and private institutions to work fairly and appropriately. Every citizen is an investor in social capital formation, and it is very much in the interest of government and business to invest as well. Without social capital and the trust it generates, democratic and market institutions will break apart and collapse. In the face of growing public cynicism and its deleterious effect on social capital and public trust, government and 5 �business must become the chief investors in social capital formation. Such investment comes not only through financial support, but also moral support. Government and business must demonstrate responsible behavior and accountability to the community. They must restore their connections to citizens by strengthening and empowering the voluntary, civic, and religious associations that give people faith in their communities. Most · importantly, for government and business to responsibly invest in social capital formation, they must treat the social sector with the respect of an equal partner. No longer should citizens and their associations be viewed as passive clients. Instead they must be accorded the respect due to co-investors in the public trust. The public and private sector must learn to listen to the social sector. Community-based organizations will increasingly act as arbiters and ombudsmen with the larger forces of the marketplace and government, serving as the primary advocates for social and political reform. [Social] sector organizations are also likely to take up the task of providing more and more basic services in the wake of cutbacks in government aid and assistance to persons and neighborhoods in need. Jeremy Rifkin (The End of Work, 1994) The social sector must assert itself as an organized, active, and equal partner with the public and private sectors. For too long, the social sector has allowed the public and private sectors to make sweeping assumptions about its needs, capacities, and resources. For too long, the social sector has grudgingly accepted the inexorable pace of change. The social sector must willfully confront and accept the challenges posed by the societal transformations of o~r age. Social sector organizations must reassess their operations. They must be willing to move away from the centralized administrative structures that are being rejected by the public and private sectors. As client serving bureaucracies are giving way to customer driven organizations, the social sector has the opportunity to become the principal facilitator of citizen empowerment. The social sector must conceive of itself as an agent of change rather than a bulwark against the effects of change. The social sector must take its expanding role seriously enough to challenge the old assumptions of the public and private sectors. If the social sector vigorously pursues a broader role, then it will be in the position to insist the government and business meet their obligations as co-investors in social capital. If the social sector tackles social 6 �problems, mediates among institutions, and empowers citizens through service and volunteerism then the public and private sectors will be forced by the court of public opinion to live up to their part of the bargain. Since social capital investment requires more than a transitory offering, business will be challenged to sustain the obligations of good corporate citizenship. Since innovation and creativity in the operation of social service programs will require administrative flexibility, government will have to demonstrate the depth of its commitment to give the social sector control of, as well as responsibility for, these programs. All three sectors need to learn to do business differently. Social problems must no longer be trivialized and compartmentalized for partisan political advantage. All three sectors can help restore public trust by promoting problem-solving, not problem-labelling. If the social sector is to rise to the challenge, it cannot be shackled for narrow political advantage by its own interests or those of government or business. Government and business in their reaffirmation of the historic role of the social sector in making healthy communities and sustaining democratic citizenship must accept its leadership. When they challenge the social sector to step up to the role of principal social problem-solver, government and business must then listen to what the social sector has to say about social problems. An equal and assertive social sector will stimulate innovative. new partnerships. Creative partnerships between government and nonprofit organizations--with government providing fintMcing and appropriate oversight to grassroots organizations providing competent, caring services at the local level--may offer a road map back to a healthy American Society... attention to the outstanding ideas coming from grassroots geniuses. It is time for government to pay Robin Garr (Reinvesting in America, 1995) With increasing frequency, the public and private sectors are looking to the social sector as a source of ideas for promoting citizen problem-solving. Government and business have launched new public-private partnerships to enhance service and volunteerism in the social sector. Nationally, the initiatives of two successive presidents have demonstrated bi-partisan support for service and volunteerism in the social sector. First, George Bush's Points of Light Foundation and now Bill Clinton's AmeriCorps National Service program represent similarly conceived public-private partnerships in support of social sector through service and volunteerism. States are also seeking, 7 �as Governor Engler wrote in the National Review, "public/private partnerships, such as Michigan's with the Salvation Army, to confront the challenge of poverty. [States] will invite private charities to resume the historically important role they have played in bettering the lives of the poor." To fully assume the mantle of leadership and accept the challenge of the times; the social sector should concern itself with the larger task of community building, not just providing support for the poor. However, in order for this to occur, agencies of the social sector and funders from government, business, and philanthropic institutions need to come together to improve the systems of soci3.1 service delivery. Public and private grant makers and grant seekers can enhance their partnerships by seeking comprehensive and collaborative approaches to community renewal. Grant makers and grant seekers need to develop non-threatening ways to challenge each other to overcome the barriers to collaboration. All must recognize that they can no longer seek singularly conceived solutions. Each should be open to doing business in different ways. In order to discover new ways of doing business, public and private funders should collaboratively develop consistent systems for effective communication about strategic funding decisions. Improved communication and shared decision making among the sectors will improve the prospects of nonprofits sustaining their activities. Working together, public and private grant makers can offer nonprofit agencies the flexibility to respond to changing conditions in communities. Grant makers can provide the resources and rewards to create efficiencies in senrice delivery. Collaboration is the key to efficient service delivery and funders must be willing to support more . of it. Nonprofit agencies need steady incentives to collaborate, partner, and merge. Through consistent collaboration among themselves, public, private, and philanthropic funders will more effectively support collaboration and new partnerships among the programs they fund. Comprehensive solutions to deeply rooted community problems will only come through the innovation found in new partnerships. Volunteers in service to the community will become a nexus for new partnerships. Community problem-solving activities build community. A healthy community will provide ample opportunities for individuals to participate in community efforts..... Perhaps the most important 8 �requirement for effective leadership is the continuous collaboration between... government and all the segments of private sector leadership, profit and nonprofit. John Gardner (Building Community , 1991 ) The singular goal of community problem-solving must become the galvanizing force that shapes the new partnerships with the social sector. The degree to which community problems are solved should be the standard measure of success for the agencies and associations of the social sector. The language of community problem-. solving should become the unifying language of the three sectors. The promotion of community service and the involvement of volunteers should become the shared practice of the three sectors. Citizen volunteers are £!le fu el that drives community problem-solving. Volunteers serve as a conduit of communication and a source of · understanding among agencies. The sectors need new ways to coordinate their volunteer activities in order to maximize the impact of their service. There is no better investment than an investment in voluntary service. Volunteer programs are not costless, and they are not self-managing. Despite the popular belief to th e contrary, these programs necessitate expenditures .... and supervision by agency staff. Jeffery Brudney (Fostering Volunteer Programs in the Public Sector, 1990) Without volunteers community problems will never be solved, but volunteers do not come free. They require an investment. Volunteers must be recruited, trained, transported, and in some cases fed. Their times of service must be coordinated, their activities supervised, and in some cases, when they commit their full time to serve, they must be reimbursed for that commitment in order to live. Like all things of value, volunteerism does not come • without a commitment of .effort and resources .. If a community of volunteers makes for a healthy community, then it is a worthy public investment. The overwhelming majority of citizens who volunteer in their retirement report that they have done so because of a volunteer experience in their youth. Yet the majority of youth say that if they do not volunteer it is because they are not asked. If we do not invest in efforts to support and promote service and volunteerism now, we will not be able to count on these same individuals to volunteer later in life when they have more disposable time to do so. The only way we will solve our country s social problems is through citizen action, by people helping people, by community helping community. George Romney 9 �Change has presented Michigan with a unique opportunity to renew and create the means by which government, business, and the nonprofit sector can work together to address our communities ' social problems. This is an opportunity for the sectors to come together to tap the energy of collaboration and empower communities with the fuel of citizen-driven solutions. Few American leaders remain as steadfastly convinced of the positive power of citizen action as George Romney did throughout his life. His boundless devotion to volunteerism and his energetic determination to see it rooted in every aspect of America's communities are the inspiration for this paper. We would do well to seek the idealism of his faith by making this a time for new partnerships . • 10 �A Framework for New Partnerships Beyond consideration of the ideas contained in the New Partnerships paper, there are a number of near-term steps that may move the social sector forward in Michigan. The items listed below are only intended to serve as starting points for discussion. There are certainly other steps that may be taken. Some of the points may already be underway in some form. If so, use this as an opportunity to increase broader awareness, participation, and endorsement of such activities. Refine, revise, and alter these points as needed, but keep in mind that everyone at the table will be involved in some endeavor in which others may benefit from participating. 1. Establish a statewide public/social sector infrastructure that ensures that every community has a functioning voluntary action center. (Publicly endorse this as a principal goal of this the new partnerships initiatives.) 2. Designate an agency to establish a forum for regular communication and discussion among the three sectors. (The Michigan Community Service Commission would enhance it' s current role as a facilitator of communication among the sectors.) 3. Support a funders' forum that brings together public, private, and philanthropic gnint makers to explore opportunities for improved collaboration. (Recommend that the Council of Michigan Foundations regularly convene a meeting of public, private, and philanthropic funders in order to facilitate communication and coordinated collaborative strategic planning.) 4. Establish an annual statewide collaborative social sector conference involving key networks and organizations. (State networks of social and public sector programs and agencies would be invited to collaborate in the planning and implementation of the superconference. The super-conference would draw practitioners and policy makers to promote communication and collaboration.) 5. Launch and sustain a campaign to promote volunteer community problem-solving. (Encourage the media to support the effort in collaboration with the state and regional public and volunteer social sector agencies. The campaign should emphasize serious problem solving by volunteers.) 6. Designate and support a single agency to coordinate volunteer and service activities among state agencies. (The Michigan Community Service Commission would be designated to facilitate communication and coordination among state agencies and among state agencies and nonprofit volunteer organizations.) 7. Designate a state nonprofit entity to promote and coordinate corporate volunteer goals. (Recognize and support the work of the Michigan Nonprofit Forum and the Volunteer Centers of Michigan to promote corporate volunteerism. Encourage and promote corporate volunteer programs as one indication of good corporate citizenship.) 8. Change the judicial designation of court ordered "community service" to court ordered "community restitution." (Develop consensus endorsement for the necessary legislative and technical changes to accomplish this.) 9. Promote the establishment of a pool of public, private, and philanthropic funds to provide incentives for social sector agencies to initiate sustainable interagency partnerships that meet community determined needs. (Encourage the coordination of the grant makers communication forum and the state's human service Systems Reform for Children and Their Families initiative, particularly its collaborative governance effort.) • �10. Develop a common statewide database on service and volunteerism that is shared by public, private, and social sector agencies. (Support the development of an inter-networking system that links multi-agency public and private volunteer agencies.) 11. Support efforts by schools and youth agencies to involve young people in volunteer community service. (Endorse a public/private outreach campaign to encourage youth service and communities of the value of youth as volunteer resources.) Support stipended and non-stipended service and volunteer programs. Their test should not be oxymoronic, but rather how effectively they meet community needs. (Develop a consensus position that supports the role of socio-economically diverse stipended volunteers as multipliers of non-stipended volunteers.) 12. • 13. End the programmatic segregation of youth and senior volunteer programs. (Promote and support in.tergenerational service and volunteer programs-- emphasizing that youth and seniors should serve their communit~es together and not simply serve each other. 14. Coordinate state-wide service and volunteer recognition activities. (Conduct the Governor's Community Service Awards program and dinner in conjunction with the Council of Michigan Foundations' and the Michigan Nonprofit Forum' s Grant Maker/Grant Seeker Conference.) 15. Involve state agencies in state-wide volunteer promotion activities such as "Make a Difference Day" and "National Volunteer Week". (Endorse the Michigan Community Service Commission, the Volunteer Centers of Michigan, and United Way Community Services of Southeast Michigan as the principal facilitators for annual statewide volunteer special events.) � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

The plan is built around four principles: I. ~trengthen families by encouragin_g employment, II. Strengthen families by targeting support, III. Strengthen families by increasing responsibility, IV. Strengthen families by involving communities. Principle II focuses on targeting support to improve the health of Michigan's children, senior citizens, and (individuals who are) disabled populations through EPSDT (Early and Periodic Screening, Diagnosis and Treatment) participation, immunizations, and the use of Managed Care. Although roughl y 90% of clients are enrolled in Managed Care and have an assigned medical provider, many clients lack the knowledge of how to access medical care. Only 20-30% of children have participated in EPSDT screenings. According to the Children's Defense Fund, Michigan has the lowest rate of immunized children in the country. In children ages 0-5 it is estimated at 40%. In addition, the CDC's 1994 National Immunization Survey to estimate vaccination coverage levels of the nation's two year olds shows Michigan as having the lowest levels in the country. Nationally, 75% of two year olds _are up to date on MMR, DTP, and OPV. Michigan has a poor showing at 61%. Michigan also ranks high in its infant mortality rate. In 1991, the infant mortality rate of 10.4 deaths per 1,000 live births exceeded the national rate of 8.9 and was worse than many poorer countries. In Michigan, the Department of Social Services has been given the charge of carrying out the To Strengthen Michigan Families plan, through the services that the Department provides at each of its 83 county offices. In keeping with the Governor's plan and the county's most immediate needs, each county has developed a Health Care Outreach Plan that details the specific To Strengthen Michigan Families initiatives that will be addressed. Through this AmeriCorps program four counties will provide a concentrated Health Care Outreach effort utilizing 30 full-time AmeriCorps members. This will occur through children being immunized and participating in EPSDT screenings, individuals and families being registered for Managed Care, individuals being assisted by AmeriCorps members to break through the barriers that prevent them from receiving proper medical preventative care, etc. 1 �Ptinciple I in Governor Engler' s plan is To Strengthen Michigan Families by encouraging employment. In addition to meeting important health care needs, this AmeriCorps program will enroll current Department of Social Services (DSS) clients as AmeriCorps members. These individuals will engage in direct service to the community while improving their skill, experience, and education levels. It is planned that this year of service, coupled with the planned Member Development activities, will lead to future employment for all of the AmeriCorps members. This will decrease the number of citizens on public assistance by 30 individuals. 2 �SERVICE ACTIVITIES AND OBJECTIVES: The members will participate in service activities including: face-to-face and telephone contacts with clients, follow-up contacts, educational outreach, assisting clients with completing Health Care questionnaires, completing immunization logs, providing transportation to medical appointments, completing medical/dental records for clients, etc. Although each member's service activities will be designed to meet the specific needs of the population that they -are working with, the following represents a typical day in the life of an ArneriCorps merriber. 8:00a.m. Arrive at office and make five follow-up phone calls to previous day contact.s. 10:00 a.m. Provide transportation for mom and children to primary care physician so that children may receive immunizations. 12:00 p.m. Lunch 1:00 p.m. Prepare for a health care outreach presentation that will take place that evening at the Neighborhood Center's Health Fair. 2:30p.m. Leave office to do home visits at three homes. Will conduct face-to-face contacts with parents to provide them with health care information and to encourage them to set an appointment for their children to be immunized. On the following pages, you will find each county's objectives. They have been developed to correspond to the most immediate health care needs of the county. In regard to carrying out the objectives, each county supervisor will be responsible for creating an overall work plan that details the progress toward each objective that will occur each month. The overall workplan will serve as a timeline, so that both members and supervisors are able to track where · the program is in regard to carrying out the proposed service activities. In addition to the overall workplan, each member will create a personal _workplan. This personal workplan will detail each member's objectives and the service activities that will occur each month. To monitor and evaluate the success of the workplan, objectives, and overall program, AmeriCorps members will be responsible for daily documentation of their specific outreach efforts. The statewide Program Coordinator will be responsible for creating forms that will be used for daily documentation. In addition, each month, the four county AmeriCorps supervisors will be responsible for collecting the daily documentation and evaluating progress toward each objective based on the provided baseline statistics. This information will be accumulated by the Program Coordinator and provided to the Corporation for National Service and the Michigan Community Service Commission in Quarterly Reports. 3 �OBJECTIVES: Berrien: This county will have a five person AmeriCorps team in which each individual will work toward the same objectives. The objectives are: 75% of Medicaid clients with children under the age of six (5,706) will be educated/informed as to the importance of immunization. 40% of the 13,798 EPSDT eligible children will be registered for EPSDT services for an increase from the current 20.8% registered. 85% of the 17,539 Medicaid eligible recipients will be enrolled in Managed Care, as measured against initial baseline statistics for an increase from the current 77.3%. - - Kalamazoo: This county will have five AmeriCorps members. Each member will work toward similar objectives, however because each member will be working with a different population (children in general, children in foster care, senior citizens, etc.), you will note that each members' set of objectives are slightly different.

Forty-three percent of Medicaid eligible children will participate in EPSDT, for an increase from the current 29%. Enroll in Managed Care 10% of the 16,900 families who are currently not enrolled. 5 �P•ROGRAM DESIGN: The program is based on the four Health Care Outreach Plans devised by each of the four counties. The Health Care Outreach Plan details each county's objectives for carrying out the To Strengthen Michigan Families plan. Each county will have a team of AmeriCorps Members (Berrien: 5, Kalamazoo: 5, Mackinac: 5, Wayne: 15). There will be a total of 30 full-time members. The members will serVe out of the county's DSS office. DSS will provide each member with a desk, phone, and access to a computer and fax machine: -The members will' be · supervised by the county's DSS Volunteer Coordinator: Laurena Smith, Wayne; Linda Kekic, Kalamazoo ~ · Carolyn Frank, Berrien; Ken Mellon, Mackinac (for more information, please see Staffing Section). :ORIENTATION The-·3omembers will be brought together for a one-day orientation that will be provided by the statewide Program Coordinator. The orientation will include: * * * * * an overview of AmeriCorps on the national, state, and local levels, the TSMF plan, the concept of the Health Care Outreach Plan, data collection procedures and the overall monitoring plan, how this program will look in each county The orientation will also allow for each county's team to meet individually to discuss: * * * the county's AmeriCorps workplan, specific information on the program's objectives and the service activities that the members will be responsible for, and the county's Health Care Outreach Plan ONGOING TRAINING Each county's.monthly meeting will include a training component. This training will include a variety of skill and content-based information including: the TSMF plan, the county's Health Care Outreach Plan, accessing community resources, communication skills, time management, empathetic listening techniques, and Managed Care policy and procedure. MEMBER DEVELOPMENT ACTIVITIES Members will take part in at least.four member development activities throughout the year. These activities will take place at the monthly meetings. Each DSS client is required by DSS to complete an Employability Plan. This Plan details the steps the individual will take in order to become employed and eventually self-sufficient. The 6 �member development activities will concentrate on activities that correspond to the members Employability Plan that details their strategy to reach permanent employment following their AmeriCorps term-of-service. The member development activities may include: resume writing, creating portfolios, public speaking, team building activities, or discussions on career opportunities after AmeriCorps. STATEWIDE.CONFERENCES AND MEETINGS 'The,AmeriCoq)s.m embers .(and Supervisors & Program Coordinator as appropriate) will also take part in all of the statewide, Michigan Community Service Commission sponsored, training and member development activities. · . These include, but are not limited to, the Opening Ceremony, the Signature Service Project, trainings , and the Closing Ceremony. These activities are expected to introduce the program' s members to other AmeriCorps members from around the state and the service activities others are involved with. These statewide activities provide the opportunity for networking, sharing resources, and renewing enthusiasm. The statewide activities will also provide four additional opportunities (in addition to the initial orientation) for the members to meet as the Citizen Health Service Corps: Michigan's AmeriCorps team to renew their spirit of teamwork, focus , and service. In addition, the AmeriCotps members will attend and participate in the August 20-22, 1996 DSS statewide volunteer services conference. The members will be asked to give presentations at the conference as well. SUPERVISION AmeriCorps members will meet with their county supervisor at least once per week to review their progress toward reaching their objectives and to receive support and direction. OTHER Each county will be responsible for partnering with local schools, Volunteer Centers, neighborhood centers, Department of Public Health, etc. The partnerships are tools for collaboration, allowing these organizations to combine resources , staff activity, outreach efforts, etc. to better serve the community and its individuals in a combined health care outreach effort. These partnerships will include the following: 7 . �* Partners will participate in member trainings, provide information on their organization, review their current outreach efforts, and discuss ways that the organizations can collaborate to provide services. * AmeriCorps members will provide educational outreach once per quarter in conjunction with the partner organizations. This may occur by participating in the partners' outreach activities, attending partners' board meetings, etc. · * As the partners combine efforts, throughout the year, with the Citizen Health Service Corps : Michigan's AmeriCorps program they will be seen as resources and informational sources in evaluating the progress the program makes. Each AmeriCorps member will be responsible for generating a minimum of two additional volunteers, for a total of 60 non-stipended volunteers. The volunteers may supplement the service being provided by the AmeriCorps members in regard to the Health Care Outreach Plan and the service activities, or they may be provide service in other need areas. As each county DSS office maintains a staff person who acts as the county Volunteer Coordinator (responsible for acquiring, orienting, and training all DSS volunteers), the volunteers will be supervised and their service monitored by the Volunteer Coordinator. 8 �MEMBERS/PARTICIPANTS: There will be a total of 30 full-time AmeriCorps members across four counties. All interested applicants will be required to complete a Michigan's AmeriCorps application in addition to the Corporation for National Service application. The members will be recruited by each DSS office. The DSS office will recruit from the local community and the . applications that have been submitted at the state and national Conup.ission/Corporation offices. Each applicant will undergo an interview that will be held at the county DSS office and will involve the DSS county supervisor, other staff at the DSS office, and a member of the partner organization. The DSS office will be responsible for . . . ' screening the applicants and the applications. The DSS office will make the final selection of all AmeriCorps members. As part of the AmeriCorps grant contract, each county will need to adhere to EEO Benchmarks in bringing on AmeriCorps Members. Thereby, each county is encouraged to select a team that represents the diversity of their community. At least 75% of the AmeriCorps members selected will be current DSS clients. It is felt that the program will be made strong by utilizing clients, as their experience as clients has given them firsthand knowledge of the health care system, Medicaid, problems individuals and families encounter in the immunization process, etc. In addition, as stated earlier in the proposal, the members will take part in several member development activities that are planned, specifically to provide information, exposure, and education that will assist clients in acquiring job skills and lead to employment and self-sufficiency. Each ArrieriCorps Member will serve full-time for a one-year period. They will receive a living allowance of $7,945 that will be distributed across the entire year. Each member will receive an educational award of $4,725 at the end of their successful term-of-service. Each member will be enrolled for the AmeriCorps health insurance plan, and each will have access to child care benefits, based on the eligibility criteria. 9 �SlfAFFING: Each county will employ an AmeriCorps county supervisor. This individual, in each case, will be the county's Volunteer Coordinator. Please note that in Wayne county there are three additional "zone" supervisors. This added supervision is necessary because of the number of AmeriCorps members involved and the vast size and population of the county. The Supervisor will be responsible for day-to-day supervision, training, member development, monitoring, and evaluation. As supervisors, they will possess quality supervision, planning, employee management, and service delivery. skills. The following are the names of thesupervisors: Laurena Smith, Wayne; Linda Kekic, Kalamazoo; Carolyn Frank, 13errien; Ken Mellon, Mackinac. At the state level there will be an overall Program Coordinator. The Director of the Volunteer Services Division for the Department of Social Services, Barbara Bradford, will serve as the AmeriCorps Program Coordinator. The Program Coordinator will be responsible for coordinating and carrying out an initial orientation and training for the four county supervisors. As with the initial member orientation, the supervisor orientation will include an overview of AmeriCorps on the national, state, and local levels, the overall program goals, the individual county's AmeriCorps workplans, specific information on each county's objectives and the service activities that each county will be responsible for, data collection procedures, and the overall monitoring/evaluation plan. Following the initial member orientation, the_Program Coordinator will assist each county in developing their trainipg plan, provide .county Supervisors with training and member development resources, establish evaluation guidelines and procedures, gather the monitoring/evaluation information from each county and put it into the . . Quarterly Report format for the Corporation for National Service, and conduct site visits to each county to monitor their progress toward completing their workplans. The Program Coordinator will also serve as the liaison for the Michigan Community Service Commission. They will supply their Quarterly Reports to the Commission. They will also attend the monthly AmeriCorps Program Directors Meetings, hosted by the Commission. By acting in this capacity, MCSC and DSS will continue to improve on their current relationship. 10 �PARTNERS: This proposal has been developed through a partnership between the Michigan Community Service Commission and the Department of Social Services. Although the program will be coordinated and carried out through the Department of Social Services, MCSC will serve in the same administrative capacity as it does with its AmeriCorps*USA programs. MCSC's mission is to enable all citizens, including youth, to engage in public problem solving through service and volunteerism. The mission of the Department of Social Services is to help meet the fin ancial, medical, and social needs of individuals and families living in Michigan who are unable to provide for themselves; to assist those who are capable to become self-sufficient through skill building, opportunity enhancement, and family-focused services; and to help protect children and vulnerable adults from abuse, neglect, exploitation, and endangerment. As state agencies, both of these offices are concerned with the well-being of Michigan's citizens, specifically the increase in well-being that can occur through volunteer activity. MCSC and DSS have a history of collaboration and connectidness. Barbara Bradford of DSS (the proposal ' s Program Coordinator) has been a long time participant of the quarterly MCSC Commission meetings. She and other DSS staff have also been vital members of the MCSC Staff Advisory Council. The DSS County offices of Lake, Mason, and Oceana counties are partner§ with the Rural Strategic Action Initiative: Michigan's AmeriCorps program (an AmeriCorps*USA program). MCSC staff actively participated in the 1995 DSS annual conference, "Volunteers Strengthen Michigan Families." This proposal marks another concerted effort for the two agencies to actively collaborate on a major proposaVprogram dedicated to increasing the wellbeing of Michigan's citizens through a concentrated health care outreach. In terms of the organization, management, and operation of the specific program, there are no organizations outside of DSS that will be responsible. However, each county will be responsible for partnering with local schools, Volunteer Centers, neighborhood centers, the Department of Public Health, etc. as detailed in the Program Design Section. 11 �E¥ALUATION: To monitor and evaluate the success of the workplan, objectives, and overall program, AmeriCorps members will be responsible for daily documentation of their specific outreach efforts. The Program Coordinator will be responsible for creating the daily documentation forms that the AmeriCorps members will utilize. In addition, each month, the four county AmeriCorps Supervisors will be responsible for collecting the daily documentation and evaluating progress toward each objective based on the provided baseline statistics . .This information will be accumulated by the Program Coordinator and provided to the Corporation for National Service and the Michigan Community Service Commission in Quarterly Reports. In addition to compiling the evaluation data for the Quarterly Reports, the Program Coordinator will be responsible for conducting two on-site monitoring visits to access the program. The site visits will evaluate the progress being made toward completion of the service objectives, the member development activities that have taken place, the status of the partnerships each county has engaged in, etc. Basic demographic data will be collected on the AmeriCorps members through the information provided on their application. To ensure that the AmeriCorps team is diverse, the counties will select DSS clients (at least 75 %) and others. It should also be noted that the four counties r~present an urban county (Wayne), a rural Upper Peninsula county (Mackinac), and two very geographically diverse counties (Kalamazoo and Berrien). 12 �ORGANIZATIONAL AND STAFF CAPACITY: The Michigan Department of Social Services officially began its Volunteer Services Program in 1967 when a state level volunteer services director was hired and the family-to-family program began. Today there are 85 DSS Volunteer Coordinators located in Michigan' s 83 counties as well as a state level Division Director. Last year (93/94), through the Department of Social Services Volunteer Program, 8,567 individual volunteers and 1,483 groups provided 1,349,407 hours of service and 46,069 donors gave $7,079,173 in materials. Each county DSS Volunteer Coordinator is responsible for working with staff members and the cornrr1unity to . · define the community needs that the volunteers will work towards. They work with the media, local partnering organizations, and Volunteer Centers to recruit volunteers. They interview and screen perspective volunteers, then work cooperatively with staff to place them appropriately. The Volunteer Coordinators provide an initial orientation to each volunteer. They are also responsible for the direct supervision of volunteers, assuring that volunteer activities are tracked and reported accurately. The Volunteer Coordinators are responsible for submitting monthly reports (see page 7 of Appendices) that detail the county' s number of volunteers, number of service hours provided, number of donors, amount of donations, clients served, and reimburs·ement monies expended. These reports are substantiated by written and oral reports by individualvolunteers. Each quarter a statewide report is issued. Periodic local audits are conducted to assure •the authenticity of the statistics reported. The Director of the Volunteer Services Division (Barbara Bradford) provides statewide direction for the Volunteer Services Program. This involves the development of standards and policy, preparation of budget requests, and monitoring of program performance. Based on the strength of the overall program and the individual staff, it is believed that the Volunteer Services Program through its Director (Program Coordinator) and Volunteer Coordinators (county Supervisors) is well equipped to administer and operate this AmeriCorps program. 13 �FUNDRAISING: As described in the Program Design Section, the Citizen Health Service Corps: Michigan's AmeriCorps program will partner with local schools, Volunteer Centers, neighborhood centers, Department of Public Health, etc. The partnerships are tools for collaboration, allowing these organizations to combine resources, staff activity, outreach efforts, etc. to better serve the community and its individuals in a combined health care outreach effort. The partnerships will also be utilized to build community support for the program and the collaborations that result will provide sustainable results in the community. In addition, ,volunteers will be generated to build a support-base for the program. Each AmeriCorps me.mber.will be responsible for generating a minimum of two additional volunteers, for a total of 60 volunteers. The volunteers will supplement the service being provided by the AmeriCorps members in regard to the Health Care Outreach Plan and the service activities, or they may provide service in other need areas. As each county DSS office maintains a staff person who acts as the county Volunteer Coordinator (responsible for acquiring, orienting, training all DSS volunteers), the volunteers will be supervised and their service monitored by the Volunteer Coordinator. The Department of Social Services is providing a considerable match contribution. These dollars are just another indication of the support this proposal has received from the State of Michigan. Throughout and long after the year of AmeriCorps the Department will continue to generate dollars for volunteer Healthcare Outreach projects. 14 �SUBTITLE HDEMONSTRATION Michigan Community Service Commission Legal a p p l i c a n t : - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Health Corps: Progamname _Citizen _____ _ _ _Service _____ _ _ _michigan's _ _ _ _ _ _AmeriCorps _ _ _ _ _ _ _ __ Corporation Funds + Matching Funds = Total Program Cost Member 1Costs Support Living Allowance $238,350 Benefits (FICA,Workers' Compensation) Health Care $238,350 $22,381 $ 22,381 $ 36,000 $ 36 000 Other Member Support Costs {Please -= -= c 2 specify in Budget Narrative) $ 2,910 $ 2,910 c c c c c.: :::;;: c .... ....c c ~ 3staff :::;;: c Salaries Benefits $37.200 (cash) $12,648 (cash) Training $ 300 Other.

Washington, D.C. 20525 Dear Mr. Wofford: I am pleased to express my support for the Citizen Health Service Corps: Michigan' s AmeriCorps proposal. The Citizen Health Service Corps will support Michigan' s welfare reform efforts by serving to improve children and family health. AmeriCorps members will facilitate social service client participation in early and periodic health screening, coordinate child immunization outreach, and enroll social service clients in managed health care programs. The Citizen Health Service Corps will be an important complement to our efforts to strengthen Michigan ' s families . We believe this project will be a good investment in our state, and we are committing notable match support to see that it succeeds. Michigan enjoys a proud tradition of volunteer citizen service that government could and .should never attempt to replace. However, government may work in partnership with the voluntary sector to help communities help themselves. I believe that the Citizen Health Service Corps captures the best of the volunteer tradition while helping communities meet some of their most pressing needs . I believe you will find our proposal to be both compelling and practical, and I hope you will consider it favorably . Please contact Frank Dirks, Executive Director of the Michigan Community Service Commission, at (517)335-4295 with any questions you may have.

Volunteers also help DSS staff with clerical support, serve as case aides, provide child care in DSS offices for recipi~nts, and encourage client participation in the Social Contract by providing and assisting with orientation sessions, one-to-one follow-up contacts, assisting with mailings, and supervising of other volunteers who are clients. In FY 93 and 94, individuals and groups donated a total of $14.2 million in food, money, holiday gifts, camperships, furniture, appliances, household goods, scholarships, and other items to meet special recipient needs. Health Care Outreach In 1994, Berrien County Social Contract volunteers were recruited to enroll Medicaid recipients in managed care plans. Twenty-five hundred (2,500) clients were enrolled in three months. The initiative won national recognition when it recei~ed the Beneficiary Services Certificate of Merit from the federal Health Care Financing Administration (HCFA). As a result of this successful project, Volunteer Services was asked to develop hea,lth care outreach plans to assist the department in meeting To . . Strengthen Michigan _FamLlL~S initiatives related to rmmunizations, family planning, EPSDT, health screening, and Maternal and Infant Support Services. Health Care Outreach will be a major focus statewide during the next two fiscal years. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Mar 13, 1996 10:58 PM SubJect: News conference transcript To: _CNCSALLEMPLOYEES David Premo was kind enough to provide this transcript of the as-delivered statements by Harris Wofford and Senator Chuck Grassley at today's news conference. Transcript of Press Conference March 13, 1996,3 pm Senator Chuck Orassley: As many of you know, during the last year and-a-half, I have raised some very serious concerns about the costs and management of the AmeriCorps program. At my request last summer, the General Accounting Office (GAO) issued a report that I feel verified my concerns. The GAO found that on average, the cost to field an AmeriCorps participant is almost $27,000. And another point that I wanted investigated was the amount coming from the private scctor... as it turns out eight percent was. There's no question that these measwements are not consistent with the goals and vision of AmeriCorps originally expressed by President Clinton. Just the same, I have stated that I would be willing to support funding for the AmeriCorps program if the administration would commit to several meaningful program reforms. Many of those changes have been advocated by Congressman Pete Hoekstra, of Michigan. Most importantly was to get the cost per participant down, sharply reduced, and the private sector contribution must be dramatically increased. In fact, 1think you could sum this up by my statement that the administration must reinvent AmeriCorps, or if not risk losing the program. My goal all along has been to ensure that the taxpayers' hard-earned money is spent wisely, and most importantly to increase the nwnber of young people receiving money for college. In other words, to get more bang for the AmeriCorps buck. I met several weeks ago with Senator Wofford. Since then, we have been negotiating over how to improve and reinvent the AmeriCorps program. These discussions have been very productive and very constructive and I appreciate Senator Harris Wofford's leadership, and I am impressed with his sincere efforts to reform the program. There is no question that the COrporation has benefitted from his commitment, and from the fresh perspective he has brought to it as chief executive officer. Under his watch, we've seen some real progress. So today we are here to announce a strategy for reform. Now while there miaht still be some points for him to discuss, Senator Wofford has pledged to end all AmeriCorps grants to other federal agencies. Instead, all money will be directed outside of the federal bureaucracy. Control costs and get the cost per participant closer in line with the President's promised $17,000 rather than the $27,000 per participant. And his pledge that private sector match and to establish a true private-public partnership. What's more, the Corporation has agreed to dramatically expand a program I have advocated to help more young people get to college. It recognizes students for successful service to their communities. This will help even more kids get to colle&e, and it will directly reward volunteerism. The program works by directing Corporation dollars to nonprofit service �03! 14 / 96 18 : 17 '5'202 565 2787 CNCS O~SP 9th Fl [4] 0051010 Page 2 groups and state governments to make Education Awards' that recognize outstanding community service. The only money that the federal government puts into this is for the award. It is critical, in my view, that the Corporation cooperate with the well-respected non-profit volunteer organizations that have done (so much) over a long period of time so much to help so many. Now looking ahead, I will continue ...! pledge to all of you concerned that maybe Chuck Grassley is changing ...that I will continue aggressive oversight regarding the fmancial management of AmeriCorps. as I do with the Defense Department. In fact, I would like to see a chief fmancial officer for the Corporation put in place immediately. So I thank you now, Hams, for your commitment to meaningful reform. Now the hard work really begins. But in the fmal analysis working together we can achieve a fisc:ally responsible program that is going to help more young Americans get a college education. [applause] Harris Wofford: Chuck... Senator Grassley, Congressman Hoekstra is also someone who has invested a tremendous amount of time and lead~p in looking at AmcriCorps critically and helpfully. a process which has to continue with tbe other body at least as seriously as the process with the Senate. fve long admired and appreciated Senator Gr~sley's work as a watchdog -- of other government agencies. But it is, I have to admit, a test of that appreciation when we are the agency being watched. I believe we are meeting that test, and we will continue to meet that test. I think that this is, I believe, a good day. maybe even a historic day, for national service and to people working to get things done. Thanks to the leadership of Sen. Orassley, we have taken a quantum leap toward making national sorviee truly bipartisan - as it has been in the past. and as it must be in the future. Throughout much of the twentieth century, the idea of civilian national service has drawn support from across the political spectrum. The ranks of national service supporters have included William F. Buckley and Robert F. Kennedy; Sam Nunn and Barbara Mikulski; Gov. John Engler and Bill Clinton; Colin Powell and Norman Schwartzkopf. The Peace Corps, which I was privileged to be in at the creation, has for years had bipartisan support By the way, I believe a Imijority of members of Congress over the years who served in the Peace Corps, by my count, are Republicans. Nancy Reagan wrote a book praising the Foster Grandparents program, one of the key programs now run by the Corporation for National Service. George Bush signed into law the National Community Service Act of 1990- which passed tbe Senate 75-21. That law formed the basis of the currentAmeriCoxps program. Bob Dole in 1992 helped usher through tbe law creating the National Civilian Community Corps, a program based on downsi2ed military bases - and which is now part of AmeriCorps. And Bill Clinton proposed Am:riCorps, a chance for tens of thousands of young Americans to serve their communities in exchange for help in paying for education or vocational training. Americans want Republicans and Democrats to work together when the goals are worthwhile. And today, rm delighted to say, we are demonstrating anew that national service is bipartisan. On the floor of the Senate today is a continuing resolution that reinforces this point. Senators Hatfield and Bond, working with Sen. Mikulski, the godmother of national service, have put real money in to fund AlneriCorps. We're still discussing the actual level, but it is good that these thoughtful Republicans are ready to support substantial funding for national service. In an era of downsizing government, national service can be a non-bureaucratic way to solve �03 114 / 96 18 : 18 'C202 565 2787 CNC S ONSP 9th Fl [4] 006 1010 Page 3 some of society's most critical problems. This becomes obvious to anyone who has seen AmeriCorps members dramatically raising reading scores of disadvantaged students, hauling garbage from polluted rivers or helping Habitat for Humanity to lead thousands of unpaid volunteers to build low income housing. If done properly, it is not wasteful government spending but precisely the opposite - an antidote to bureaucracy. It asks people to give to their country instead of just getting benefits. It asks Americans to give, not just to receive. Sen. Grassley, as you know. has been a tough critic of AmeriCorps - a very tough critic and a relentless foe of government inefficiency. With the steps we have taken, and will take, we will live up to Senator Grassley's highest expectations. That's our determination. Let me also add that all of the steps that improve AineriCotps program and are steps we should be taking even without his challenge, but I welcome his challenge and appreciate it. I'm delighted that, having taken these steps and pledged to do more, we have now met one of the tou2hest rests I know, the Orassley Test. We are on the way to showing a tough critic can become a good working partner. We know full well that be will be back with us again and a~ suggesting, prodding, criticizing, and questioning. We welcome that We also know we will only retain his support if we do what we say we are going to do. This is about reinventing government, not so much about paperwork or regulations. but listening, learning, and changing. Too few government proarams do that. We have listened to Sen. Grassley, learned from him, and changed. Let me particularly thank Sen. Grassley for the special push he is giving to the idea of expanding the numbers of educational service scholarships, without other program support from the Corporation, to those who serve a year, or more for some sustained period of time, in non-profit organizations not in an AmeriCorps grant program. This should enable religious organizations, higher education institutions and other non-profits with alternative funding sources to increase opportunities for service. If this education-award-only approach proves as successful as I think it will be in multiplying the numbers of those who serve and cutting federal costs, you, Sc:n. Grassley, will long be remembered for your creative role with us. Let me also emphasize that the progress we have made is not all just my doing. It happened because most of the staff at the Corporation for National Service, people who have been fiibting to make Am.eriCo:rps succeed since its inception, have been working tirelessly to improve the program. So thank you Sen. Grassley. I look forward to working with you to make Ameri.Corps a program in which all Americans can take pride in. ### �03 / 14 / 96 18 : 15 'a202 565 278 7 CNC S ONSP 9th Fl ~ 002101 0 Page 1 Note fa Waxler, Eric *** URGENT *"* From: Toscano, J Date: Wed, Mar 13, 199611:15 PM Subject: 10 step agreement To: _CNCSALLEMPLOYEES This is a summary of the 10 steps that the Corporation is taking to improve A.meriCorps and cut costs, the subject of today's news conference with Senator Chuck Grassley (IA) lOSTEPSTO IMPROVE AMERICORPS & A Briefer cur COSTS 1. Reduce Per-Member Costs The Corporation has already reduced costs from the start-up year to the se-.cond. Per member costs in the A.meriCorps stare grant program represent an average real reduction of about 7 percent per member. Grantees with above-average costs will be asked to cut costs by 10 percent in the next grant cycle. The Am.eriCorps*National Civilian Community Cmps has closed one base. cut living allowances by half, and cut HQ staff by 25 percent and campus staff by 30 percent The Corporation will develop additional cost-cutting targets and timetables in the next 60 days. 2. Eliminate Grants to Fed Agencies The Corporation bas notified federal agency grantees that grants will no longer be made to fedetal agencies. Local nonprofits who had been affiliated with federal agency programs will be free to apply for funding on their own to sponsor AmeriCorps membe.rs utilized by those nonprofits. 3.Further Steps to Prohibit Lobbying The Corporation has addressed conccms by again requesting that state commissions and national direct grantees fUillly remind AmeriCorps sponson of all prohibited activities, including lobbying and partisan political activities. Programs must delineate specific actions they will take to ensure that AmeriCorps members do not engage in improper political activities. The Coxporation will continue to investigate, on a priority basis, every allegation brought to its attention and take quick decisive action. 4. Decrease Reliance on Federal Funding AmeriCorps programs exceeded goals foe private sector fundmising, raising more than $41 million last year. In the next grant cycle, the Corpoxation will raise the matching requirement for program support from 25 percent to 33 percent. S. lncrease ..Special National Service Scholarships" The Corporation is developing a plan to expand substantially the number of sponsors who rccejve no direct funding from the Corporation, but whoso members earn education awards from the National Servia'! Trust This arrangement may enable religious organi2atlons. higher education institutions, and other organizations with alteroative funding sources to expand. 6. Increase Collaboration with National Non-Profit Organizations The Corporation is strengthening and increasing collaboration with national nonprofit service �• 03 114 ; 96 18 : 16 'a'202 565 2787 CNC S ONSP 9th Fl 14100 31010 Page 2 organizations, such as Habitat for Humanity, Big Brothers/Big Sisters, the American Red Cross, and with a growing number of religious organizations such as Sisters of Notre Dame de Namur and the National Council of Churches. 7. Increase State Autonomy The Corporation was established as a partnership between the Federal Government and the states. Governor-appointed national service commissions in each state have been informed that if they have instituted appropriate peer review processes, the Corporation will no longer review their formula grant selections. As the states enhance their capacity, fultber devolution will occur. 8. Improve Grant Review The Inspector General has identified areas to strengthen grant comJK:titions. The Corporation is reviewing the draft recommendations and plans to implement qwckly those that are workable, as well as other measures to improve this critical process. 9. :Expand Efforts in Evaluation The Coxporation's goal is to develop evaluation systems that m.akc increasing use of our network of service programs and their expertise, and encourage private sector and independent sector efforts to evaluate service programs. 10. Increase and Strengthen Occasional (unpaid) Volunteers The Corporation is committed to emphasizing the role of AmeriCorps members as reciUiters, organizers, and leaders of traditional oocasional volunteers. Volunteer generation is now a priority in the 1997 competition for project renewals. In the fourth quarter of the first year, over three additional community volunteers were rccxuited for every AmeriCorps member serving. From July 1, 1995 through September 30, 1995, it is estimated that AmeriCorps members recruited at least 73.000 volunteers who contributed over 700,000 hours of service to their communities. By further emphasizing this role, the C01p0ration will increase the value added by each AmeriCorps member and by each federal dollar invested in national service. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Funded by the Charles Stewart Mott Foundation, the goal ofTAP-Youth Service is to provide grass-roots, low income community organizations with the information, network access, and expertise to more effectively develop, operate, and support community service and youth development programs. TAP-Youth Service will provide on-site technical assistance to nonprofit community-based organizations (CBO 's), such as youth and volunteer programs, community development and health programs, and church-operated projects. TAP-Youth Service will also produce a program development resource guide and conduct and facilitate practitioner workshops for the purpose of establishing self-sufficient programs and peer support networks. TAP-Youth Service will meet the following operational objectives: • provide on-site technical assistance to nonprofit community-based organizations; • conduct and facilitate practitioner workshops that develop skills and knowledge in the best practices of service, youth development, program development, fund raising, and community organizing; • produce a program development resource guide for CBO's that draws on materials contained in such current resources as Targeting Youth, as well as those produced by Youth Service America, the Independent Sector, and the National Civic League; • establish state and local peer support networks; • strengthen and improve MCSC's ties to low income CBO's. TAP-Youth Service's activities will concentrate support and consultation in the greater Detroit area of Southeast Michigan. TAP-Youth Service will tailor its technical assistance to meet specific CBO needs. In addition to fostering self-sufficiency and sustainability, TAP-Youth Service will begin immediately to build peer support networks. All workshops and technical assistance meetings will be organized around three goals: to impart information, to share information, and to build support networks. TAP-Youth Service will periodically bring CBO representatives to Detroit to learn from practitioners. Twice within the program period, TAP-Youth Service will hold practitioner retreats. One will involve CBO's from across the state and serve to share lessons learned in the program and build the state-wide network. Working collaboratively, CBO's with diverse constituencies and program interests will build community-based program capacity. TAP-Youth Service will produce a brief"How To" guide on accessing information that will include the latest up-to-the-minute information on related State and Federal program funding for service and youth. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Are we allowed to operate on a reserve or is it that we either use it or lose it? Mr. Dirks explained that we can ask for extensions but we are not allowed to build a reserve. Some discussion occurred on regarding building an endowment or other funding possibilities. Mr. Dirks explained that the Commission would have to go through the state bureaucracy and legislation to seek that kind of approval. Commissioner Pruitt suggested that there be more discussion on this during the long range planning meeting. 4 �Commissioner Cummings asked that someone do research as to what the Commission is capable of doing plus how to accomplish these things through the state. Commissioner Orosz would like a list of the Commission's funding sources. Some clarification was given to the Commission on the enclosed budget form and budget process. VII. Action Items: a. Community Foundation Arrangement - Frank Dirks Commissioner Orosz made a motion to authorize the Michigan Community Service Commission to continue to develop a fund with the Capital Area Foundation for the Michigan Community Service Commission. Commissioner Muir seconded the motion, the motion was approved. b. Alliance for National Renewal Participation - Frank Dirks Mr. Dirks gave a overview of the National Renewal program. He explained that the Alliance is now trying to identify partners at the local level to help support the national program. Mr. Dirks asked the Commission for their support to pursue our affiliation to the Alliance and show Michigan's commitment community service. The Commission gave their approval and Commissioner Muir made a motion for the Commission to join the Alliance. Commissioner Orosz seconded, the motion was approved. c. Poster Review Committee Ms. House gave a brief description of the poster contest and explained the need for a review committee. The following commissioners volunteered: Judith Dunn, Julie Cummings, Lisa Ditch Murray, Mary Ellen Brandell, Sister Mary Martinez and Diane Kasunic from state office of the Corporation. d. Recognition Review Committee Ms. House gave a brief overview of the Recognition Program and explained that the same Commissioners who had volunteered for the Poster Contest would be reviewing recognition applications as the Recognition Review Committee. e. Long Range Planning Task Force Commissioner Pruitt announced that Commissioners Pruitt, Orosz, Johnson, Langston, Brandell, Cummings, Williams and Tate would serve on the Long Range Planning Task Force. He explained that there would be a conference call on December 19th to determine a date in which they would be able to all get together to talk about a plan for the future of the Commission. 5 �Vill. Public Comment Commissioner Pruitt read a letter to Chairperson Engler from Commissioner Blyth regarding his resignation from the Commission because of a new job promotion. Commissioner Pruitt made a motion to accept Commissioner Blyth's resignation, Commissioner Orosz accepted and Commissioner Nethercut seconded the motion. Commissioner Pruitt announced the next meeting will be in Kalamazoo on February 24, 1995, and will be hosted by Commissioner Dombrowski and Commissioner Riley. Commissioner Cummings made a motion to adjourn the meeting, and Commissioner Orosz seconded the motion. The meeting adjourned at 12:26 p.m. 6 � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

FAX S. Capitol Ave. Bldg ., 4th Floor Michigan 48909 (517) 335-4295 (517) 373-4977 Introduction As you all know, with alacrity and grace our chair recently side-stepped the prickly issue of male commissioner names by having three girls. Sorry gentlemen, lobbying does have its limits. And while the flood of well deserved good wishes continues unabated, I thought that this space might be used to offer the staff's three cheers for the three new Englers- Madeline, Margaret, and Hannah. Congratulations! Oyeryiew The two months since our last meeting have seen the summer's fast paced activity accelerate. We helped six of our local AmeriCorps programs conduct community launches (the remaining three will be launched in January). We held three technical assistance meetings for AmeriCorps directors and one meeting for AmeriCorps program trainers. We conducted on-site AmeriCorps technical assistance meetings for two programs. We held a statewide AmeriCorps training day for state and national direct funded programs involving seventy-five people. We held, in partnership with the Council of Michigan Foundations, a two-day planning and organizing meeting for fifty people from the communities involved in the Michigan CARES project. We completed the initial development of MCSC's promotional materials. We distributed applications for the poster contest, in partnership with the Michigan Department of Education (MDE), to 4,000 schools across the state. We distributed 8,000 applications for the Governor's Community Service Awards program. We submitted a $521,000 FY95 administrative grant request to the Corporation for National and Community Service (CNCS). We submitted a $65,000 proposal to CNCS for technical assistance and training support. Working with the Michigan Jobs Commission we have begun the process of assuming more responsibility for contract writing, and grant compliance and monitoring. As part of this process we recently completed newly formatted AmeriCorps contracts, and we are finalizing Learn and Serve contracts. We executed our one-year (at least) partnership with MDE by supporting 50% of Elaine Gordon's (MDE's Learn and Serve Coordinator) time so that we might work closely with her to better coordinate our activities. We brought on our new Points of Light A Division of the Michigan Jobs Commission ....., 0' �Michigan Community Service Commission November 29, 1994 Page Two Foundation Youth Ambassador (Brenda Parker) who will concentrate her activities of MYPAC and Service Learning. (You have already received a memo from her regarding MYPAC.) Members of our staff presented at eight state or national meetings and conferences. And just this last week, we held an open house for commissioners interested in receiving an in-depth report on our activities from our staff. While this is not an exhaustive record of our activities, it does offer something of an overview. (We will distribute some of the materials discussed above at the Commission meeting for your information.) While this level of activity is a testament to the efforts of the staff and MCSC's partners, it is not enough to ensure achievement of our number one goal of sustainability for our programs and the field. We are at a crossroads for service and volunteerism in Michigan. In the last year, we have enjoyed the very rapid growth of the Commission and the field. By January, MCSC's staff will have tripled since the same time last year (the budget section will provide more information and detail on our growth). New programs like AmeriCorps and partnerships like CARES dot the state with substantially more federal and foundation dollars supporting them. Simultaneously, while the field has grown, we have witnessed a remarkable turnover in its leadership. Of the principal organizers of the original planning meetings that helped to create the Commission in 1991, none remain in the same position or in the same capacity. The relatively chaotic effects produced by this rapid growth and change in leadership should provide for more opportunities than for concerns. However, the danger looming ahead of which we must all be aware, is the uncertainty of the federal funding that has been the engine for the growth of not only MCSC, but much of the field. Only eight percent of MCSC's program and administrative budget are currently supported by the state. Eighteen months ago, that eight percent represented closer to twenty-five percent of the program and administrative budget. It supported MCSC for a modest (but by comparison to other states quite substantial) level of activity that was heavily dependent upon the good will and substantial volunteer time commitment of leaders in the field who were united as much out of personal associations as organizational interests. Now those leaders are gone, and the number of active partners in our network is increasing as we seek to find shared organizational interests to ensure and broaden collaboration across the state. So with the growth ofMCSC's programs and partnerships will come increasing expectations for MCSC to serve in the role it is defining for itself; that of a convener, broker, and catalyst for service and volunteerism in Michigan. These expectations will not be met if we do not plan now to meet them in a future environment of far more limited federal largesse. At the Commission meeting, the Executive Committee will propose a Long Range Planning Task Force to prepare and propose a plan for discussion and decision at the Commission retreat in March. The staff will work closely with the members of the Task Force. In order to facilitate the Task Force's planning process, the staff will prepare a number of concept papers for their review. In the meantime, our efforts must be directed at effectively and strategically managing our operations this year with the substantial resources we have at our disposal, while preparing to operate next year with potentially far less. We must do this without creating unevenness or causing a disruption to the services we provide the field. The course we have chosen, will enable us to conduct a number of short-term, on-time projects that will serve as a basis for improving coordination and capacity building in the field as a whole. These projects include: the development of an integrated program information catalogue developed in conjunction with the MCSC Advisory Committee; the development of a number of program development manuals and resource guides; and the development and certification of a peer technical assistance network for program practitioners. �Michigan Community Service Commission November 29, 1994 Page Three Pro~:ress on Annual Objectives In the State Plan that we submitted to CNCS we enumerated our annual objectives. For the most part, we will refer to these objectives to focus our activities and measure our progress. We say for the most part because we will continue to aggressively pursue opportunities to build sustainable networks and infrastructure whenever they present themselves. In partnership with the Steering Committee, conduct a comprehensive statewide inventory of Kindergarten-Retiree service and volunteer programs and practitioners. We have proposed this idea to the members of the MCSC Advisory Committee and with the approval of the Commission, will proceed in a collaborative development process that will include a series of planning meetings and produce a state resource catalogue of programs and projects. Support Michigan Campaign for Volunteerism in its campaign to increase awareness of volunteerism and work collaboratively to raise visibility of MCSC and its related activities. We have maintained communication with the Michigan Nonprofit Forum and the Michigan Volunteer Center Network. While their plans are on hold, we plan on being active partners. Conduct a review workshop for AmeriCorps applicants not recommended by MCSC for funding. Establish a technical assistance and peer support process to strengthen these programs for future funding possibilities. We submitted the plan and a proposal for $65,000, in addition to the interim $10,000 we had already received from CNCS, on November 23. Copies available upon request. Establish a fund development planfor programs not funded by CNCS or MCSC. The Executive Committee will propose at the December 2 meeting that a Task Force be formed to prepare a long range plan for organizational and funding development. The plan will be decided upon at the March Commission retreat. Identify directly funded AmeriCorps programs and integrate program planning, training, and implementation activities with those operating in the state. AmeriCorps programs funded directly by CNCS have been contacted MCSC staff have conducted or participated in the trainings or launches of three of these programs. National direct programs were invited to attend the statewide AmeriCorps training on November 18 (though not all did). MCSC has explored with the CNCS state office the possibility of joint state AmeriCorps and AmeriCorps VISTA training. �Michigan Community Service Commission November 29, 1994 Page Four Seek foundation funding support for a targeted program development and technical assistance initiative for small neighborhood and community-based organizations. MCSC has entered into a partnership agreement in principle with the Southeast Michigan Foundation to conduct TAP-Youth Service. (See program abstract.) Convene a meeting of state grant makers representing state and local government, corporate foundations, philanthropic foundations, community foundations, and United Ways for the purpose of developing a state strategy paper on sustaining national and community service. February 20, 1995 has been set for this meeting. An ad hoc group of MCSC foundation representatives are guiding the planning for this meeting. Ms. Engler will send an invitation letter to grantmakers during the first week of December. Develop a senior volunteer position at MCSC to promote connections among senior volunteer and youth community service programs. An informal request has been made to RSVP for a volunteer. We are in the process of developing a formal request. A rough job description has been created and Commissioner Dombrowski has agreed to assist in the selection process. Launch, with private sector support, an MCSC logo and poster contest for elementary and middle school students. We have modified this to become a recruitment poster for middle and high school age volunteers. We believe that this will complement the attention on the older-aged AmeriCorps program. We have included informational materials on the poster contest. We mailed application packages to schools across the state in late September. With our new logo we have developed presentation materials that we will make available at the Commission meeting. Double the number of citizen respondents to the Community Service Awards Program and create AmeriCorps program and participant categories. The awards dinner will be held in April of 1995. We hope to have a fmal date set by the September 23 meeting. We mailed applications in early October. Select six communities for the Michigan CARES program and provide training and technical assistance for community-based planners. We conducted, in cooperation with the Council of Michigan Foundations, a two-day organizing conference for the six CARES communities on November 14-15, 1994. �Michigan Community Service Commission November 29, 1994 Page Five Develop and implement a state model for AmeriCorps training and technical assistance. We have developed a design and included it in our state TA proposal to CNCS. (We will have training materials available at the Commission meeting.) Identify and recruit staff and volunteers from the AmeriCorps programs to serve as state peer technical assistance consultants. We have conducted five meetings of Michigan's AmeriCorps program directors. We have established common program development expectations and the foundation for a strong peer technical assistance network. Coordinate and consult with MDE on Learn and Serve America grant making. We were awarded $138,00 by CNCS for our Learn and Serve America Community-Based grant. We fmalized an interagency agreement with the Michigan Department of Education to support and share half the time of the Learn and Serve America School-Based coordinator. We assisted MDE in their peer review of school-based Learn and Serve grants. We have not yet completed the unified development plan that we had intended to have finished by November 1, 1995. In cooperation with the Michigan Service-Learning Council, develop common service learning training elements that can be shared among AmeriCorps, higher education, and Learn and Serve America programs. This is currently on hold pending resolution of internal planning for the Service Learning Center. Integrate where possible the MYPAC!CMF youth action council "Youth Voice" project with Michigan CARES communities. Completion for this will be contingent on the individual community plans. This remains one of the operating assumptions of the CARES process. In October, we received word from CNCS that MCSC was eligible for a forty percent increase (this included some carry-over of unexpended FY94 funds) in its FY95 administrative grant. This unexpected good news came on top of the generous support we recently received from the Kellogg and Mott foundations. Combined, this support offers us a one-year administrative budget that is substantially out of proportion with what should be our annual operating level. While much of this support is project specific, it provides for initiatives operated directly by MCSC and represents a wonderful one-time opportunity to build substantial program capacity for the state. We have attached a budget sheet for our combined program grants and administrative project activities. The figures are not yet final due to incomplete FY94 close-out information which is pending the completion of the state's change-over to a new unified computer accounting system. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Commissioner Pruitt encouraged all Commissioners to participate in the Partners in Service program with the MYP AC members. c. Fund Development - Julie Cummings Commissioner Cummings explained that the Michigan Community Service Commission needs to start marketing itself and also needs to make people aware of what the Commission is all about. Commissioner Cummings also stated that she feels that the Commission needs to recruit corporate support. Commissioner Cummings explained that she has had meetings with the General Motors Foundation to talk about these possibilities. Commissioner Cummings explained that the Poster Contest will encourage adults and youth to become involved with the Commission and become more aware of what the Commission stands for and what it is trying to accomplish.

There would also be special assistance training for the SE Michigan and Detroit area. Mr. Caldwell explained there would be four site training sessions to be held in Marquette, Detroit, Muskegon and Flint areas. Mr. Caldwell also explained that we would set up a conference call at the end of January to answer questions about the AmeriCorps application process. This year's process will require a concept paper that will be a brief description of the program and its goals and operation plan. The concept papers are due to Michigan Community Service Commission on February 24, 1995. The whole Commission will be able to read and review the applications on March 10-11, 1995. The final selected proposals will be brought to the Executive Committee for approval on April28, 1995. Key dates are: January 27, 1995 Executive Committee meeting; March 10-11, 1995 Commission Retreat in Albion.

Ms. Parker also explained that a Youth Speaker's Bureau is being developed with a small core group of youth that are experienced in service and public speaking. The Youth Speaker's Bureau will create a data base of these young people which organizations, different communities, governments and schools will have access to so that they can get these speakers to their functions to speak. Ms. Parker explained that some of the grant money will also go for a Youth Voice and Leadership Conference to be held in April1995. 3 �d. CARES Update- Lamont Clegg Mr. Clegg provided an update on the CARES program. On November 14-15, 1994 there was a Planning Conference. He told the Commission that the participant evaluation comments on the conference were good. He stated that all six communities (Alpena, Detroit, Flint, Grand Rapids, Marquette, Muskegon) are proceeding on their strategic plans and that they are due January 1995. Commissioner Cummings asked how communities were chosen. Mr. Dirks explained the process to the Commission.

There are only a few that have accomplished comparable to what Michigan had done and they are Kansas, Massachusetts, Washington, Ohio and lllinois. Mr. Dirks informed the collll11fssion that a letter was received from Rossman & Martin Associates in which they have agreed to help the Commission with the problem of visibility by doing some free and some paid advertising. Commissioner Begg commended the Commission on the open house and explained that it was very beneficial to him in understanding what the Commission is all about and what it is involved in. Mr. Dirks explained that the Commission is more than willing to take the open house on the road. Commissioner Orosz asked if the Commission can operate like private organizations do regarding funds and grants that are not completely used by their deadline. Are we allowed to operate on a reserve or is it that we either use it or lose it? Mr. Dirks explained that we can ask for extensions but we are not allowed to build a reserve. Some discussion occurred on regarding building an endowment or other funding possibilities. Mr. Dirks explained that the Commission would have to go through the state bureaucracy and legislation to seek that kind of approval. Commissioner Pruitt suggested that there be more discussion on this during the long range planning meeting. 4 �Commissioner Cummings asked that someone do research as to what the Commission is capable of doing plus how to accomplish these things through the state. Commissioner Orosz would like a list of the Commission's funding sources. Some clarification was given to the Commission on the enclosed budget form and budget process. VII. Action Items: a.

Social and economic change has become evident in the deterioration of our cornrnunities, the disintegration of shared values, and lawlessness at many levels of American society. Widespread lack of trust in leaders and established institutions has produced cynicism and passivity among the American people. But it is also a time of hope. Virtually invisible to the American public is the wave of renewal that is occurring at the grass-roots level. It consists of the promising innovations emerging in every area of domestic concern today- from prenatal care and affordable housing, to cornrnunity policing, school reform and job training.. In contrast with the largely cynical, negative and passive mood of Americans today, the grass-roots problem solvers responsible for these efforts are purposeful and positive. Where the general public seems to see no bright future for the nation, these innovators believe in the future and intend to have a hand in shaping it. The goal of the Alliance for National Renewal is to capture this spirit of hope and spread it to the rest of the American public. _ National Renewal is not a new organization. It is a coming together of organizations, institutions, cornrnunities, and individuals who realize it is time to set aside "turf" battles and work together toward a shared vision. It is a campaign to create new roles, relationships and partnerships among institutions, organizations and individuals. This is a tremendous challenge. It requires each of us to conduct a self-evaluation, as individuals, institutions and cornrnunities. We must ask some questions: ''How can we do more?, Are we really focusing on the critical issues or merely playing at the margins?" As National Renewal unites those who are making a difference, more and more people will see that there is a movement in this country- a movement that has been developing over the last decade, embodied in the hard-earned grass-roots successes of today. These successes are built on years and years of experimentation with cornrnunity-development policies, of reframing the issues and redesigning solutions until, finally, we have gotten some things right. We have an obligation to apply the lessons of recent years, not only to solve the problems that currently confront us, but also to secure our future and that of our children. It is essential to embrace the grass-roots movement of cornrnunity revitalization and support the innovators who have proven themselves. We must also encourage all three sectors to develop policies, practices and procedures that support these efforts. We must make all Americans aware of the hope and promise inherent in their activities, assure them that they are not operating in isolation, and see that their efforts come to fruition. The task is not merely to solve specific problems, but to lift the nation out of its negative mood and build confidence and motivation for the hard tasks ahead. We must encourage every institution in the nationgovernment, corporations, associations, churches, unions, service clubs, neighborhood groups, schools and colleges, youth-serving organizations, social agencies- to join the effort to renew America. One key to the success of National Renewal ·will be the involvement in the movement of many institutions and organizations. Each will pursue its own agenda autonomously. All involved v.riii be urged to launch new efforts to increase their impact. Organizations and institutions v.rill engage in new initiatives together. National Renewal will spotlight the innovators. An easily accessible data base of stories will be developed- stories that will give people inspiration and guidance. A media campaign will be developed. Outreach to individuals will be undertaken. National Renewal depends on: • Individuals working together to meet shared community challenges. • Recognition that diverse voices add vitality to common purpose. • Collaborative efforts of the public, private and nonprofit sectors to revitalize cornrnunities. • Removal of the barriers to individual growth and fulfillment.
