No other state has obtained the bi-partisan support necessary to elevate its importance beyond partisanship. No other state has obtained the broad based statewide private leadership support of all sectors. The Michigan Campaign for Volunteerism will establish a pattern for other states. Our successes and our challenges in the coming year and beyond will serve as a model for the nation. * * * * For additional information, or to find out how you can help in your community, contact: The Michigan Campaign for Volunteerism c/o Michigan Nonprofit Forum 34 Kellogg Center East Lansing, Ml 48824-1022 (517) 353-5038 CAMPAIGN COMMITTEE AFL-CIO Association of Independent Colleges & Universities of Michigan Congress of Michigan Black Churches Cooperative Extension Service Council of Michigan Foundations Council of Michigan Urban Leagues Department of Social Services, State of Michigan League of Women Voters of Michigan Michigan Association of Broadcasters Michigan Association of Non-Public Schools Michigan Association of School Administrators Michigan Association of School Boards Michigan Association of Volunteer Administrators Michigan Campus Compact Michigan Catholic Conference Michigan Chamber of Commerce Michigan Community Action Agency Association Michigan Community College Association Michigan Community Service Commission Michigan Corporate Volunteer Council Michigan Council for Arts & Cultural Affairs Michigan Council of Junior Leagues Michigan Ecumenical Forum Michigan Health Council Michigan League for Human Services Michigan Nonprofit Forum Michigan Partners in Education Michigan School Volunteer Programs NAACP National Society of Fund Raising Executives/ Michigan Chapter Neighborhood Associations of Michigan Presidents Council, State Universities of Michigan PTA of Michigan Retired Senior Volunteer Programs of Michigan Rotary Clubs of Michigan United Way of Michigan Volunteer Centers of Michigan MICHIGAN Campaign for Volunteerism Michigan Campaign for Volunteerism c/o The Voluntary Action Center of Lans1ng 6035 Executive Drive Lansing, Ml 48911 (517) 887-8004 �A MESSAGE FROM FRANK POPOFF THE IMPORTANCE OF VOLUNTEERING President and Chief Executive Officer The Dow Chemical Company By George Romney Everyday, communities across this state and throughout America face unprecedented social problems and challenges. While these countless problems vary from neighborhood to neighborhood, we all recognize them . We see their effects on the faces of too many hopeless, disenchanted youth . We hear the cries of fear from citizens victimized by violence. We feel the impact of a society losing its most important battle. As a business leader, I understand the interrelatedness between our social problems and our future ability to compete in domestic and global markets. Without an adequately educated workforce, we will be unable to advance equality of economic opportunity, a foundation of America 's social stability. There is no "magic bullet." These problems have taken decades to develop and will not be solved overnight. We cannot rely on money or any single sector alone to address our social issues; it will require human determination and long-term commitment only available through the " people-power" mobilized by all- from the largest corporation to the smallest neighborhood group. In Michigan, we are launching the first bipartisan statewide Campaign for Volunteerism, an initiative I am proud to co-chair. This Campaign will work to create or enhance Volunteer Centers and other systems that support volunteering and its impact on problem-solving; and it will challenge and motivate citizens to take actions that benefit our communities and people in need. The purpose of the Year of the Volunteer is to assist every citizen and organization in doing what they can do for their country, state and community. The most serious threat we confront is our vitally serious social problems. They are crippling children 's readiness to learn, overburdening teachers, denying businesses educated employees, further reducing competitiveness, eliminating economic growth, shrinking employment and adding to social instability. We know they cannot be solved primarily by government or by money, but only by people helping people voluntarily. In urban communities most people need help doing this meaningfully. This requires a local volunteering infrastructure. Its key component is a Volunteer Center, as well known as the Post Office, that has local government, business and community leadership support. Creating such infrastructures and Volunteer Centers throughout the state will be the focus of the Campaign. Success will make Michigan the first state with a statewide volunteer network, a pattern for other states and a model for the nation. Next year, during National Volunteer Week in April, and throughout the Campaign, we will report to you on our progress in meeting these objectives. THE CAMPAIGN LEADERSHIP CAMPAIGN GOALS Knowing that something must be done now to combat Michigan's vitally serious social problems, leaders from all over the state have joined together to form Michigan 's Campaign for Volunteerism . The Campaign's mission, adopted in December 1991, is : The Campaign is led by Co-Chairs Frank Popoff, President and CEO, The Dow Chemical Company; Michelle Engler, First Lady of Michigan; and Janet Blanchard, former First Lady of Michigan; and Honorary Chair George Romney, former Governor of Michigan. Governor Engler and all former Michigan Governors and First Ladies are supporting the Campaign . The Campaign will be staffed by The Nonprofit Forum under the direction of Maryellen Lewis, Executive Director. Pam Warwick, consultant to nonprofit and volunteer leaders and former executive director of The National VOLUNTEER Center, will provide campaign guidance and professional support. To supply needed funding, The W.K. Kellogg Foundation is providing $226,000 over two years. The Dow Chemical Company, Ford Motor Company Foundation, Michigan Bell and individuals are contributing over $100,000 in the first year. Already, 37 statewide networks of organizations and citizens have made a commitment to embrace the goals of the campaign, offer their assistance in ways that reflect their areas of expertise or mission, and encourage their members or affiliates to get involved. For example, the Volunteer Centers of Michigan will serve as an information and assistance hub for communities seeking to strengthen their loca l volunteering infrastructure and link Michigan citizens to quality, reward ing volunteer experiences. To promote volunteerism across the State of Michigan and to create a climate of commitment to volunteering which permeates Michigan 's leadership, its institutions, its commun ities and citizens. To achieve th is mission, the Campaign will: • Build or enhance the community infrastructures that support volunteering, especially Volunteer Centers; thus, increasing the community's long-term capacity to surmount social problems . • Seek to increase the level of volunteering, motivating individuals to action, especially those who have never volunteered before, but have expressed interest. The Campaign also will work to boost the degree of volunteer commitment from leaders and institutions already engaged in combatting social problems in their communities. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

CONTACT: Ronald Gutkowski, (313)582-6452 B. Evaluation MateriaJs/Design In~am Intermediate School District (IISD) A minimum of 3-5 sites (elementary, middle and high school levels) will serve as research posts and will have established service learning components integrated into existing curricula. The sites will also be different from one another based on the model selected for integration of the service learning component and the sites will work with IISD so that the goals and objectives of the component meet one or a combination of the existing state mandates, i.e.g., stated goals in the MDE recommended core curriculum, development of student portfolios, or the implied use of authentic assessment throughout Public Act 25. Evaluation measures will concurrently be designed in order to assess the ability of service learning as a program type and philosophy to successfully meet these mandates. What is learned from these sites will be shared with the MI K-12 Service-Learning Center and local districts. It will also include additional data IISD will collect from participating teachers and administrators on conditions conducive to successful service learning, on the integration of service learning with other educational initiatives, and on the barriers to successful programs.

The YVC plan is to recruit junior and senior high school students for weekend Team Projects in Spring Semester 1993, and for four two-week projects in the summer of 1993. Teams would consist of 8 to 10 volunteer youth and one paid Team Leader. Projects include mentoring, housing rehabilitation, and park maintenance. The program will target teens from low income families, those struggling with academics, and those possessing handicapper characteristics. The 8 to 10 member teams are also expected to provide service for Alpena's community events such as the Brown Trout Festival and the June Riuerfest. CONTACT: Vernie Nethercut, (517)356-9021 ext. 271 Eie-htCAP. Inc. The Montcalm-Ionia Youth Volunteer Corps (YVC) would be a year-round project providing volunteer experiences for 80 youth. Because these counties are rural and comprised of communities with popalations less than 9,000, resources are not available in any one community to initiate a youth volunteer project. A Youth Volunteer Corps program would provide direction and leadership for establishing an on-going network for youth service in these rural areas. In its 26th year as a Community Action Agency, EightCAP has developed and operated programs in such areas as summer youth employment, domestic violence, foster grandparents, JTPA, Head Start, home weatherization, and Special Olympics. Staff expertise and community support will help facilitate the development of meaningful service opportunities for YVC participants. CONTACT: Thomas Hazelwood, (616)754-9315 Menominee-Delta-Schoolcraft Community Action Ae-ency The main objectives of the Youth Volunteer Corps (YVC) include unlimited opportunities for youth to participate in projects which directly benefit their community. The cities of Escanaba and Gladstone have several major projects in which the YVC will participate. For example, feeding elderly care facility residents, city beautification, and Special Olympics. Expected outcomes include increased intergenerational communication and understanding, direct service to the community, and a supportive atmosphere for youth. The involvement of the schools and the Retired Seniors Volunteer Program (RSVP) will increase public 25 �awareness and involvement. The Menominee-Delta-Schoolcraft Community Action Agency is also applying to become a Volunteer Center through the Volunteer Centers of Michigan (VCM). CONTACT: Teresa Nelson, (906)786-7080 United Way of Muske~on County and the Foundation Muske~on County Community In its first year, the Muskegon County YVC hopes to involve 200 young people, ages 14 to 18, in guided team community service projects and provide the community with more than 20,000 volunteer hours. The YVC will place teams of youth volunteers, led by trained Team Leaders, in diverse community agencies to provide service which is meaningful to the community and to the participant. Youth volunteers can serve in intensive summer sessions of 4 to 8 weeks and in periodic short-term school year projects. Drawn from the full socio-economic, geographic, and ethnic diversity of Muskegon County, youth volunteers will develop important civic and life skills through exposure to others and by performing needed community service.

Are we approaching youth service in the .most powerful way? Is there, for example, collaboration across streams and sharing of resources and information? If people are working together, how? Are higher education institutions reaching out beyond campus walls? Are individuals in the K-12 system working directly with community-based youth corps programs? How effective are schools, community agencies, and nonprofit organizations in working together? In April, 1991, a meeting was convened by theW. K. Kellogg Foundation for all its grantees working in volunteerism and philanthropy with young people. This meeting brought together community based organizations, K-12 educators, colleges and universities, and others to share information about their programs. They began the process of cross-streams collaboration answered some critical questions. In late Spring, 1991, Youth Service America (YSA) received a grant from the Kellogg Foundation to facilitate the development of sustained cross-stream collaboration. The grant enabled YSA; in cooperation with the Michigan Campus Compact (MCC), the Council of Michigan Foundations (CMF), the Michigan Nonprofit Forum (MNF) and the Michigan State Board of Education; to sponsor a working conference around youth service policy alternatives in Michigan. The conference, hosted by the MCC, brought together over 125 individuals, from all over Michigan, representing young people, K-12 education, higher education, full-time service and youth volunteer corps, community based organizations, and state policy makers. The conference served to crystalize interest in youth service, identify critical issues, and engage program participants, managers, and advocates in youth service policy development. Interested conference participants attended two subsequent meetings in July, 1991, hosted by the CMF and the MNF, respectively. The meetings produced clear recommendations and a policy framework for youth service in Michigan. In response to the planning meetings, First Lady of Michigan, Michelle Engler, announced Governor Engler's intention to form a state commission on community service. The announcement was readily endorsed as participants in the summer planning meetings expressed their commitment to support, advise and assist the commission. A representative of the Points of Light Foundation, of Washington, D. C., also attended the July meeting. Impressed by Michigan's commitment and quality in youth service programs, the Points of Light Foundation selected the state as one of four in which to pilot its new Youth Engaged in Service (YES) Ambassador program. Through the program, the Foundation selects two young people in each host state and challenges them to engage their peers in community action aimed at serious social issues. 1 �Creation of the Michi~an Community Service Commission (MCSC) In October, 1991, the Michigan Community Service Commission (MCSC) was officially created by Gov~m?r John Engl~r through Executive Order 1991-25. The Commission was given the broad rmssi<?n of developmg a statewide service movement, which would focus initially on youth. The MCSC IS currently composed of 21 members representing a broad constituency that includes communi~y based agencies, higher education institutions, K-12, young people, organized labor, small busmess, corporations, and philanthropic organizations. The Commission is also ethnically and geographically diverse. The MCSC is chaired by First Lady Michelle Engler who has taken an active role in the Commission and the promotion of its mission around the state. Mjssjop Statement The mission of the Michigan Community Service Commission is to encourage community service and volunteerism as means of community and state problem solving, and to promote and support voluntary involvement in government and private programs throughout the state.

The Standing Committee on Evaluation address the evaluation needs of programs funded under each subtitle of the National and Community Service Act in Michigan, as well as other MCSC initiatives. Evaluations will be based on a program's measurable impact on participants, local communities, and the state. The Standing Committee on Fund Development is to develop and implement strategies to secure resources from private and public sources at national, state, and local levels. The Standing Committee on Recognition is to develop a multi-tier recognition and award program for community service and volunteerism in the state. The first tier will be recognition from the MCSC. Eligible applicants will include all who serve in organized youth and community service programs. The second tier will be a Governor's award for exemplary service. The committee is also working with individual communities to develop local recognition programs. The Standing Committee on Youth Voice has named itself the Michigan Youth Progressive Action Council (MYPAC). The MYPAC is a sixteen member body of young people between the ages of 12 and 21. Its responsibilities include developing and recommending policies and programs to the Commission as well as bringing the perspective of young people to all MCSC discussions and decisions. Major Accomplishments in 1991-1992 The Michigan Community Service Commission is building upon initiatives already existing in Michigan at the time of its formation. To maximize resources in the state, the MCSC acts to encourage organizational collaboration and joint problem solving among public and private agencies. The Commission recognizes government as an essential, but not exclusive, partner in building effective community coalitions around local community needs. Sustained and meaningful cooperation among government, business, philanthropy, nonproflts and individual citizens must be maintained if we are to make a difference. Young people are integral players in the work of building coalitions to solve community problems. While many of the struggles communities face impact youth directly, rarely have young people been involved in developing solutions. The state has made a substantive commitment to involve young people in the development of state youth policy and in local community problem solving. 5 �We firmly ~lieve that there is no l.iJ;nit to what young people can do. They are an essential resource that our society .and our commumn~s must ~all upon as we .seek to meet pressing needs. Young peo~le were a vital part of the me~n~gs which led to the formation of the Commission and they connnue to be central to the Commission's progress. · Currently two young people serve as full voting members on the Commission. ·The MCSC also has the benefit of working closely with two Points of Light Foundation YES Ambassadors. These young people offer the MCSC knowledge and insight gained through working directly in the field throughout the state. The Commission has employed other strategies to ensure strong and effective involvement of youth in all MCSC activities. Strategies include creating the Standing Committee on Youth Voice, named the Michigan Youth Progressive Action Council (MYPAC). The MYPAC brings a young peoples' perspective to all MCSC policy and programming discussions and decisions. In addition, the MCSC has developed a one-to-one learning program which matches Commission members with MYPAC members to increase communication and understanding between the two bodies. The Michia:an Community Service Plan The historic National and Community Service Act of 1990 (NCSA) created the Commission on National and Community Service (CNCS). In an effort to make local impact, the CNCS issued a Request For Proposals (RFP) for funding under the NCSA in the late Fall of 1991. The RFP encouraged states to submit comprehensive plans reflecting cross-stream collaboration and a holistic approach to youth service and community action. The MCSC,the entity in Michigan designed to bring the streams of service together, was designated as the state's lead agency. Reasonably, the first major task of the Michigan Community Service Commission was to develop a comprehensive Michigan plan for submission to the Commission on National and Community Service. While developing the plan, the MCSC, and other key individuals and organizations, identified the following elements as essential to a successful Michigan initiative: • Programs must be built around local community needs and interests. • Young people and community program practitioners must be involved in policy development and program design. • Programs must be representative of their communities; diversity of participants is essential. • Programs must build on existing resources and strengths. • The business community must be involved. • A statewide training capacity in the best practices for youth service programs must be developed. • A comprehensive and coordinated statewide information clearinghouse for programs, organization, and existing resources. • Sufficient rewards, incentives and recognition to promote service should be developed. The initiatives outlined in the next section reflect Michigan's commitment to ensure that every person in the state has access to opportunities to help solve our most urgent social problems. 6 �The Michigan Vision The following statement is taken from a speech given by Mala Mirchandani as she accepted a Student Community Service Award from the Michigan Campus Compact, March 6, 1992. A longer excerpt of that same speech serves as the introduction and the theme of The Michigan Vision .. Ideally, we would all like a society where no one goes hungry, where there is a home for everyone, where a man is treated as a man and not by the color of his skin, where drugs have no place... where crime has no place and no one needs to commit a crime for a meal or the need to get ahead... where corruption and dishonesty have no place, and where people can live and not struggle. Idealism. So you work for Idealism You believe in Idealism. And you practice Idealism...And with time, and a little care, you begin to see a little bit of light for places, before you only found darkness. And then soon you'll fmd Idealism is not only practical- but a reality. When The Michigan Vision was written in late winter, 1992, it was the comprehensive statement on the convictions and passions of The Michigan Community Service Commission (MCSC) and its allies regarding community involvement and active citizenship. The vision is a working, living document whose words and ideas give shape and focus to the work of the MCSC. We continue to draw from the vision inspiration and guidance. Moreover, it is the vision, more than any regulation or policy, against which our progress is measured and our shortcomings exposed. The Michigan Vision serves as a clear testimony to our beliefs, but also as an ambitious agenda for our actions. Outlined within the vision are several concrete initiatives facilitated by the MCSC in an effort to marry the power of our ideals and the results of our work. There are few explicit strategies and no timelines. Priorities continue to be set as much by opportunity as by choice. We are struggling to build bridges between our idealism and our reality, but we are building those bridges. We can take some pride in the steps we have taken in 1991 and 1992. Indeed, we can be very proud of the collaboration and sense of common purpose the MCSC has helped nurture across the streams of community service in Michigan. As we review the goals outlined in the vision, we can be heartened by the progress being made toward their realization. However, we must remain sober about the work ahead of the MCSC and our allies as we strive to reach beyond ourselves to an idealism that is not only practical- but is a reality. Progress on Initiatives Outlined by The Michigan Vision The following initiative statements come directly from the text of The Michigan Vision. Following each initiative statement is a brief summary of the action taken by the MCSC in 1991-1992. • Encourage young people to become advocates for service and cavac participation in their communities. One strategy will be to establish a statewide youth body on community service. This youth body will act as a standing committee of the Commission and will create a network of youth across the streams of service and ensure that young people will continue to play a role in the development of youth service policy. 7 �Th~ Michigan Co~.unity Service Co~ssion. established the Standing Committee on Youth Vmce called ~e Michigan Youth Progressive Actton Council. (MYPAC) in September, 1992. The MYPAC consists of 16 members, ages 12 to 20, from every region of the state. The MYPAC shares the status and responsibilities of all standing committees. Therefore, the council is able to introduce and review policies which go before the MCSC, participate in strategic planning, and play a role in every level of the Commission's work. Like MCSC members, MYPAC members are strong advocates for service, volunteerism, and civic participation in their communities. • Establish a multi-tier recognition/awards program. The first tier award will come from the state Commission and be made available to all who serve in organized youth and community service programs. The second tier award will be a Governor's award for exemplary service. The state Commission will also encourage local communities to develop and coordinate their own awards programs. The MCSC established a Recognition Standing Committee in 1992, which will make recommendations to the Commission for a multi-tier recognition and awards program in early 1993. The committee has pursued, to the letter, the recognition and award program outlined in the above initiative statement • Promote and facilitate functional partnerships among appropriate organizations in every Michigan community. These partnerships will be organized initially around youth service program design structures. In all of the Requests for Proposals developed by the MCSC to solicit applications for monies granted under the National and Community Service Act of 1990, we have strongly encouraged local partnerships. Indeed, in some categories collaboration is required. Using our grantmaking capacity as leverage, the MCSC has facilitated dialogue at the local level which has led to some exciting and creative partnerships. • Coordinate program development and capacity building around the strengths and resources of existing programs and organizations such as: Michigan 4-H, Michigan Campus Compact, National Youth Leadership Council's Service Learning Center, Michigan School Volunteers Program, Partnerships in Education, Volunteer Centers of Michigan, Michigan Nonprofit Forum, the Council of Michigan Foundations, Community Action Agencies and Private Industry Councils. The state will also strive to establish unifying thematic areas for program development and capacity building around service needs such as early age intervention, family support, and intergenerational programs. The Michigan Community Service Commission has not established itself as the statewide coordinating body for developing the capacity of other organizations. It is not at all clear that Michigan needs a state-level entity to function in this way. Further, there is no consensus among Commissioners that they would like to see the MCSC move in this direction. The Commission, however, has been very supportive of others' work and has provided opportunities and incentives for organizations in Michigan to assist each other in program development and capacity building. • Identify and help coordinate public and private funding sources necessary to advance youth service. 8 ' �The ~CSC has .established a Fund Development Standing Committee. Membership of the comrmttee consists of key individuals from the public, private,· and philanthropic sectors. Furthermore, the MCSC has accessed the National and Community Service Act of 1990 (NCSA) to bring funds aimed at youth service to the state. Most of the monies from the NCSA have been subgranted throughout Michigan. All grantees are required to provide matching funds as well as viable sustainability strategies. Through it's grant making power, the MCSC haS mobilized both federal and local dollars toward advancing youth service. The Commission is also researching legislative action that would secure sustained public support for community service in Michigan. • Establish a state clearinghouse on service and volunteerism drawing upon the resources of the Michigan Campus Compact, Council of Michigan Foundations, Michigan Nonprofit Forum, Michigan Departments of Education and Labor, and Cooperative Extension 4-H, or facilitate the development of clearinghouses within each stream of youth service. Although it has no plans to establish its own, the MCSC has played a role in the development of several state clearinghouses on service and volunteerism: The Michigan Campus Compact hosts a Midwest Regional Resource Center on Mentoring, The Volunteer Centers of Michigan have established a toll-free statewide telephone volunteer referral service, and the Partnership for New Education, in cooperation with the National Youth Leadership Council, has established a statewide K-12 Service Learning Center on the Campus of Michigan State University. • Establish a statewide training model in youth service, in coordination with the clearinghouse, utilizing the resources of such organizations as the National Youth Leadership Council's Michigan Service Learning Center, Michigan 4-H, High Scope Educational/Research Foundation, Volunteer Centers of Michigan, and the Michigan Campus Compact. Training will be made available to youth and adult volunteers, educators, corps members, state agency representatives, community leaders and other who are interested in the field of community service and service learning. In cooperation with the Michigan Campus Compact/Campus Outreach Opportunity League (COOL) and the Council of Michigan Foundations (CMF), and the Points of Light Foundation, the MCSC is establishing a network of regional training capacities for young people throughout Michigan. The network taps into and supports the resources outlined in the vision and several others both in Michigan and in the nation. • Establish a common terminology for youth service e.g clarify distinction between court-ordered service and community service. The MCSC will address this issue in 1993. • Establish principles for effective youth service programs which incorporate a service learning philosophy and ensure that youth have a meaningful service experience. The MCSC is in full agreement and support of existing principles for good practice established in Wingspread Special Report: Principles of Good Practice for Combining Service and Learning, published by the Johnson Foundation. The Commission has required applicants for NCSA funds under all subtitles to design programs in accordance with these principles. 9 �• Institute a process to unify program data collection and evaluation by establishing standards and objectives acr~ss all ·youth service program areas. The MCSC has established an Evaluation Standing Committee designed to assess the work of the Co~ssion and its gr.antees. The committee expects to develop a replicable system of data collection and evaluation to be available for use by youth service practitioners throughout Michigan. • Establish an in-state K-12 service grant program administered by the Michigan State Department of Education in conjunction with the Commission, to support community service and service learning programs for K-12 age youth. Program design specifications will include stipend support for a teacher and/or community based coordinator, be intended to integrate service learning into specific content curriculum or meet community needs. Programs will also coordinate and cooperate with other youth service activities in the community (particularly those linked to the state plan) and the local Partnership for Education and the Michigan School Volunteer Program. The MCSC has secured in excess of $600,000 from the National and Community Service Act of 1990 to meet these ends. • Ensure that the activities of the state commission are coordinated with the Michigan 2000 Excellence in Education Committee. For instance, because citizenship education is part of the national educational goals, the commission will encourage the Committee to adopt community service and service learning as an important component in the Michigan New American Schools model. The MCSC will address this issue in 1993. • Support workforce preparation by promoting positive productive community problem solving roles for all youth across the state. Special attention will be given to directly linking school-age service programs with community colleges. Community colleges should be encouraged to include service as a part of their technical skills development programs. Through its support of and partnership with the Michigan Campus Compact, the MCSC has an indirect impact on the development of collaborative community college service learning models with outreach components to non-college youth. • Establish the Governor's Youth Environmental Education Corps, a residential rural summer youth corps program, which will be administered through the Job Training Partnership Act network. The Youth Environmental Education Corps (YEES) was created in June, 1992. Details of the program can be found in another section of this report. 10 �• Facili.tate. the development of a Michigan "City Year" model from a combmat10n of philanthropic and business funds. ·Initial discussions have begun in the City of Grand Rapids and the state will continue to assist the development of this project. The state would also like to see the model replicated in one other Michigan community during the next f~ur years. The "City Year" project is underway in Grand Rapids, Michigan and has the full cooperation and support of the Michigan Community Service Commission. • Establish Michigan CARES (Communities and Resources Engaged in Service) a program designed to encourage youth and adults to participate in implementing and evaluating service projects which respond to local community needs. This innovative model encourages and assists local community collaborations in the development of community service action teams (CSAT), made up of part-time, full-time and senior corp members, and provides ongoing assistance to localities in the upkeep of these CSATs. Through this model to state seeks to strengthen existing and develop new community service initiatives aimed at youth. This initiative did not receive NCSA funds in 1992. The proposal is to be evaluated, redesigned, and resubmitted in 1993. • Support the development of a statewide network of summer communitybased and operated youth volunteer corps programs and full-time urban corps linked in each community to community-based organizations, K-12 education, and higher education. In October, 1992, with leveraged funds from the National and Community Service Act of 1990, the MCSC assisted in the development of five new Youth Volunteer Corps in Michigan. In addition, the Commission set aside funds to enhance existing Youth Volunteer Corps and full-time Urban Corps programs in the state. • Designate and promote the Michigan Campus Compact as the higher education consortium responsible for coordinating a higher education service plan. The Michigan Campus Compact (MCC) has been designated by the MCSC as the higher education consortium responsible for coordinating a comprehensive higher education service plan. • Establish an in-state college service grant program administered by the MCC, under the coordination and final review of the state commission, to augment MCC's current venture grant program. These grants will give special consideration to higher education projects with partner with or impact K-12 schools. In addition, a Michigan Resource Service Center housed at the Michigan Campus Compact will be developed to facilitate leadership training for higher education participants, to develop service learning resources and to disseminate materials from the collegiate field. In cooperation and partnership with the Michigan Campus Compact, the MCSC has established an in-state college service grant process entitled the Michigan Generation Grant Program. 11 �Application to the !:;ommission on National and Community Service ~~~ Our ~omprehensive s1<l:te application to the Commission on National and Community Service for fu!l~mg under the Nanonal and Community Service Act of 1990 netted Michigan a total of 1. 3 rmlhon dollars.

Category: Participants: Student Initiated Project 2,540 Funding: $5,000 The Michigan Resource Services Center The Michigan Community Service Commission received funding under Title B2 for the new Michigan Resource Services Center, to be housed within the Michigan Campus Compact. The goal of the center is to disseminate information to individual campuses to enhance local programs while creating a body of knowledge that furthers the entire field of service learning. 14 �The center provides support and resources to all Michigan institutions developing projects. It helps to ensure colla~?<>ration between groups working in the same.interest area and transmits expertise acro~s areas of rnterest The center collects information already in existence including materials Qn curnculum development, evaluation and outcomes, program models, leadership and training, and issue-specific program areas (i.e. mentoring, literacy, homelessness). The center also provides technical assistance to Michigan colleges and universities regarding newsletter publishing, grantwriting, program evaluation, and other skills. As knowledge of programs and projects grows, the center will convene individuals to share ideas, strategies, results, and challenges. One outcome of these meetings will be the publication of new information from the field. Materials the Resource Center may publish include a community needs assessment instrument, information on orientation and training for students and community members, materials on infusing service-learning into curricula, and information on appropriate collaborations within the community and across the state. Title C: Youth and Conservation Corps Our award under Title C totaled $500,000. These funds were distributed into two categories: 1. $250,000 to be allocated to operate three residential camps entitled the Youth Environmental Education Service Corps (YEES). 2. $250,000 to be granted to local communities to develop, implement, or enhance youth corp models. fund~ • $115,000 was designated to youth ages 12 to 17.

Maximum award: $35,000. We anticipate awarding two grants. The Michigan Youth Environmental Education Service Corps The 1992 Michi~an Youth Environmental Education Service CYEES) Cows was a great success. Through a combination of federal (Commission on National and Community Service grant and the Job Training Partnership Act) and state (Michigan Department of Transportation) funds, three residential camps operated for nine weeks this summer. The three camps are: Camp Alberta - 8 miles south from L'anse in the western Upper Peninsula; Camp Boedne Bay - near St. Ignace in the eastern Upper Peninsula and Camp Tippy Dam - on the Manistee River in the western Lower Peninsula. The camps served over 90 youth (early vacancies were fllled with new recruits). Each camp included 30 youth, 18-21 years old, from all over the state. The youth included various ethnic backgrounds, economic status, experiences, and education. The three camps operated for nine weeks from June 15, 1992 to August 14, 1992. Work Projects - The camps identified local work projects that would fulfill unmet community environmental needs . A total of 22,636 project hours were devoted to state and local initiatives. 15 �YEES Corps 1992 Work Projects • Harietta Fish Hatchery - the corps members cleaned fish raceways and baffles; • Pine River - members positioned rocks for erosion control of the ri,verbank; • Hiawatha National Forest - corps members built fish cribs, cut cross country ski trails and built boat docks; • Indian Lake State Park - members constructed restrooms for the handicapped and performed campground maintenance; • Canyon Falls and Tioga Creek Parks - members were involved in park clean-up and maintenance; • Whitefish Point Lighthouse and Museum - corps members assisted in harbor cleanup . The Title C Subgranting Process A Request for Proposal (RFP) was developed and mailed out to 300 organizations and individuals including Volunteer Action Centers, United Ways, Community Action Agencies, Cooperative Extension 4-H offices, Urban Leagues and individuals that had requested notification. This Request for Proposal (RFP) yielded twelve proposals for consideration in the category of New Youth Volunteer Corps models. A review panel was designated that included members of the Michigan Community Service Commission youth, and outside readers in the field of youth volunteer corps. This review brought forth five proposals for consideration by the Michigan Community Service Commission. 1992 New Youth Volunteer Corps Award Recipients: Total Projects Funded: 5 TotalFunding: $115,000 Total Number of Participants: 51 0 Alpena Community College Alpena, :MI Currently about 80 Alpena High School students volunteer 2 to 4 hours per week in human service agencies during the school year. The YVC plan is to recruit junior and senior high school students for weekend Team Projects in Spring Semester 1993, and for four two-week projects in the summer of 1993. Teams would consist of 8 to 10 volunteer youth and one paid Team Leader. Projects include mentoring, housing rehabilitation, and park maintenance. The program will target teens from low income families, those struggling with academics, and those possessing handicapper characteristics. The 8 to 10 member teams are also expected to provide service for Alpena's community events such as the Brown Trout Festival and the June Riverfest. Funding: $25,000 Participants: 16 100 �EightCAP, Inc. Greenville, MI The Montcalm-Ionia Youth Volunteer Corps (YVC) would be a year-round project providing volunteer experiences for 80 youth. Because these counties are rural aQd comprised of communities with populations less than 9,000, resources are not available in any .one community to initiate a youth volunteer project. A Youth Volunteer Corps program would provide direction and leadership for establishing an on-going network for youth service in these rural areas. In its 26th year as a Community Action Agency, EightCAP has developed and operated programs in such areas as summer youth employment, domestic violence, foster grandparents, J1PA, Head Start, home weatherization, and Special Olympics. Staff expertise and community support will help facilitate the development of meaningful service opportunities for YVC participants. Funding: $19,000 Participants: 80 Menominee-Delta-Schoolcraft Community Action Agency Escanaba, MI The main objectives of the Youth Volunteer Corps (YVC) include unlimited opportunities for youth to participate in projects which directly benefit their community. The cities of Escanaba and Gladstone have several major projects in which the YVC will participate. For example, feeding residents of elderly care facility, city beautification, and Special Olympics. Expected outcomes include increased intergenerational communication and understanding, direct service to the community, and a supportive atmosphere for youth. The involvement of the schools and the Retired Seniors Volunteer Program (RSVP) will increase public awareness and involvement. The Menominee-Delta-Schoolcraft Community Action Agency is also applying to become a Volunteer Center through the Volunteer Centers of Michigan (VCM). Funding: $16,000 Participants: 30 United Way of Muskegon County and the Muskegon County Community Foundation Muskegon, MI In its first year, the Muskegon County YVC hopes to involve 200 young people, ages 14 to 18, in guided team community service projects and provide the community with more than 20,000 volunteer hours. The YVC will place teams of youth volunteers, led by trained Team Leaders, in diverse community agencies to provide service which is meaningful to the community and to the participant. Youth volunteers can serve in intensive summer sessions of 4 to 8 weeks and in periodic short-term school year projects. Drawn from the full socio-economic, geographic, and ethnic diversity of Muskegon County, youth volunteers will develop important civic and life skills through exposure to others and by performing needed community service. Funding: $32,500 Participants: 200 Wayne-Metropolitan Community Services Agency Ecorse, MI This project is a collaboration between Wayne-Metropolitan Community Services Agency (WMCSA), the Youth Volunteer Corps of Metropolitan Detroit, and Communities First. The program will be based in the City of Highland Park. Youth will be recruited through various community sources. Every attempt will be made to match participants with service initiatives in their own communities. The scope of the program includes Ecorse, River Rouge, Inkster, Romulus, Taylor, Hamtramck, and Sumpter Township. These cities have been identified as the 17 �mos.t ~cono~cally vulnerable in the Out-Wayne County area. The Out-Wayne County YVC will p~cipate m su~h ~ro~ams as neigh.borhood re.hab~~ation_, workirig in homeless shelters, soup kitchens, food distribution, and services to semor Citizens. The YVC will also coordinate the eff?rts o~ the emerging City of Highland Park Teenage City Council and provide services · to vanous City government offices. Funding: $22,500 Participants: 100 · The second funding category was designated for the enhancement or development of both ongoing Youth Volunteer Corps and full-time Urban Corps models. In this category an Request for Proposal (RFP) was also developed and mailed out to agencies already operating programs. Five proposals were received and are currently being reviewed for funding consideration. Youth voice Actjyities In order to meet its mission of involving young people in all levels of community problem solving, the MCSC began several initiatives in 1991-1992. Collectively, the following represent the Commission's Youth Voice Activities. The Points of Light Foundation Michigan Youth Engaged in Service (YES) Ambassador Program The Points of Light Foundation is a national, nonprofit, nonpartisan organization whose vision is to make meaningful community service aimed at alleviating serious social problems central to the life of every American. Youth Engaged in Service (YES) is a division of the Foundation which is committed to making that vision a reality for young people between the ages of 5 and 25. In order to meet this goal, the division has created the Youth Engaged in Service (YES) Ambassador program. YES Ambassadors act as advocates for youth involvement in community problem solving and act as catalysts for the creation of youth service opportunities within individual states. In August of 1991, the state of Michigan was one of four locations chosen by the Points of Light Foundation to pilot its Youth Engaged in Service (YES) Ambassador program. In September 1991 two young people between the ages of 18-25 were selected from over 50 applicants by a selection committee made of up of representatives from the Points of Light Foundation and leaders in the field of service in Michigan. From September, 1991 to September 1992, Cynthia Scherer and Trabian Shorters acted as advocates for the involvement of youth in community problem solving, and have worked directly with youth to engage them in service, and with the MCSC and other youth service organizations to stimulate the development of youth service opportunities. In September of 1992, the first year of the YES Ambassador program came to a close. After evaluating the program, the Points of Light Foundation decided to continue and expand Youth Engaged in Service. YES Ambassadors will be placed in nine locations across the nation. The four original locations; California, Michigan Pennsylvania and Washington, D.C.; will be joined by Colorado, Georgia, Kentucky, Maryland and Minnesota. A diverse selection committee was put together in Michigan with members representing both young people and leaders in the field of service. Announcements about the position were sent to over 800 individuals, organizations, and institutions across the state including volunteer centers, United Ways, community foundations, college placement offices, and 4-H. 18 �Th~ YE~ Ambassador in ~ichigan for 1992-93 is Darin Day, a graduate of the Mi·chigan State Umverstty School of Social ~ork and a former Michigap. Corn..rilunity Service Commission IT?ember. B.ased on the expenence of the first year ~he program has been modified. Major differences mclude a more narrowed focus and the selecnon of only one Ambassador per location. The 1?92-93 Ambassador will work primarily with young people through a variety of institutions, especially K-12 schools, volunteer centers, the Michigan K-12 Service Learning Center, and the Michigan Community Service Commission. Specific responsibilities of the Youth Engaged in Service Ambassador: • Training young people in leadership skills and service learning in schools, volunteer centers, and other nonprofit settings. • Recruiting and training college students to assist school youth and teachers in developing service learning activities as part of classroom instruction. • Working with the MCSC to develop statewide youth policy. • Researching and identifying exemplary youth community service programs, youth leaders, and resources that can assist individuals in the development of youth service programs. The Michigan Youth Progressive Action Council (MYPAC) In September, 1992, the Michigan Community Service Commission established a standing committee of young people to forward its mission of youth involvement in community problem solving throughout the state. The sixteen young people involved range in age from 12 to 20 and come from places as far apart as Detroit and Houghton. They represent youth from virtually every cultural, geographic, socioeconomic, racial, educational, and political background in Michigan. They each bring a unique set of experiences, skills, and abilities to the Commission and its work. The committee came together for the first time September 18-21, 1992, in Ann Arbor. There they established the name The Michigan Youth Progressive Action Council (MYPAC). They set an ambitious agenda for the year which includes visits and exchanges between participants in outstanding community programs and lobbying the legislature for more support of young people and youth service. Each member of the MYPAC has been paired with a Michigan Community Service Commissioner through an initiative called Partners in Service. Partners in Service is a one to one learning model which matches MYPAC members and MCSC members from the same geographic region. Through Partners in Service, Commissioners have access to the valuable viewpoints and perspectives of young Michigan citizens, and MYPAC members have access to the wealth of knowledge and experience each member of the MCSC offers. Through the MYPAC, Partners in Service, and other initiatives, the Michigan Community Service Commission is giving youth in Michigan opportunities to have a real impact on what happens in our state and in our communities. Perhaps the most significant benefit of initiatives like these is the opportunity for the MCSC to truly stay in touch with the needs and experiences of the young people it seeks to serve and support. 19 �The Michi~an Community Service Commission Plannin~ Reh·eat Friday November 20 and Saturday November 21 , 1992 the MCSC, the MYPAC, and the staff convened a planning retreat at the Bellemont Manor on the campus of Albion College. The purposes of the retreat were to evaluate the first year of the Commission and to conduct strategic planning for 1993 and beyond. The retreat was facilitated by Jean Burkhardt, formerly of YMCA Campus Programs and currently a member of the Commission on National and Community Service Grant Review Team. Burkhardt engaged members of the MCSC, the MYPAC and the staff in a SWOT Analysis of our first year. SWOT is a small group process employed to assess the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats facing the Commission. Results from the SWOT Analysis Strengths: The following is the list of internal strengths of the MCSC which found consensus among the members of the Commission, the MYPAC, and the staff: • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • Accessibility Bi-Partisanship Clear Vision Governor's Support Cohesion Across Streams of Service in Michigan due to MCSC Commitment of Members Connection to Critical State and National Networks Diversity in Membership Highly Visible Chairperson MYPAC as National Model Mutual Respect among MCSC, MYPAC, and Staff Sensitivity to Needs of Diverse Michigan Populations Staff Leadership Trust and Teamwork Visibility of Individual Members Volunteer Experience of MCSC, MYPAC, and Staff Members Weaknesses: This is the list of internal and structural characteristics of the Commission members and staff consider obstacles. Each of the following represents challenges and opportunities for growth of the MCSC and the field in Michigan: • • • • • • • • • • • Danger of Overlap, Duplication vis-a-vis other State Organizations Different Levels of Knowledge, Understanding among MCSC Members Emphasis in Securing NCSA Funds in Year One Geographic Barriers to Full Inclusion Inconsistent Attendance and Participation from Commissioners Lack of Database of Effect and Replicable Program Models Lack of Long-Term Strategic Plan for the Commission Little History or Precedence, Few Models of State Community Service Commissions Need Specific Role Definition, Responsibilities for Commissioners Lack Representation from Native American and Religious Communities Lack Representation from Out of School Youth 20 �• • • • No Process for Evaluating Impact Poor Visibility of MCSC Reliance on "Soft Monies" Weak Linkages to State Agencies and Programs Opportunities: The following is the list of identified external support systems, welcomed challenges, and timely circumstances which present opportunities for the MCSC to move forward toward its mission: • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • Access to Legislators Access to Media Broad Support in the Field Charles Stewart Mon and W.

This list incorporates the perspectives of members of the Commission, the MYPAC, and the staff. 21 �Critical Issues Facing the MCSC in 1993 • • • • • • • • • • Addressing Staff Limitations Applying for Renewed Funding under NCSA Continuing to Develop Strong Partnerships Developing Database of Successful Program Models Defming Clear Roles for Commissioners, MYPAC Members Diversifying Funding Sources Emphasizing Public Awareness, Media Exposure Improving Internal Communication Reaching More Diverse Populations of Youth Working with Legislature to Ensure Permanence Michigan Community Service Commission Priorities for 1993 The following are the four tasks identified as priorities for the Commission by members of the MCSC, the MYPAC, and the staff: • • • • Secure Diverse and Sustainable Funding Sources Increase Support for the MCSC Staff Improve Internal Communication Ensure MCSC and its Grantees are More Visible throughout the State Strategies to Meet Identified Priorities The following are ideas presented by members of the MCSC, the MYPAC, and the staff to address identified critical issues and priorities: Funding: The issue of long-term funding cannot be separated from the issue of legislative support. Efforts must be made to secure permanence for the MCSC through the legislature. Specific strategies recommended include inviting legislators to Commission functions, employing Governor and Michelle Engler's support, and engaging MYPAC members to personally visit their State Senators and Representatives. Other funding strategies include seeking foundation and corporate support, direct-mail fund-raising, and seeking large individual gifts from private donors. Internal Communication: Timely communication between Commissioners, the MYPAC, and the staff has been identified as a major priority. Strategies recommended to improve MCSC internal communication include developing a comprehensive calendar of events and deadlines, publishing an in-house newsletter (possibly written and edited by the MYPAC), encouraging Commission and MYPAC members to convene regional meetings, and strengthening the Partners in Service program. Public Relations: One of the most consistently identified weaknesses and priorities of the MCSC is visibility. The following is the list of strategies recommended by Commissioners, MYPAC members, and staff for increasing public awareness and support of our work: • • • • Convene local workshops re: Community Service and Volunteerism Develop a logo or slogan for the MCSC Develop marketing materials: brochures, handbooks Encourage all MCSC and MYPAC members to discuss the MCSC, its partners, and its mission, in all public speaking engagements 22 �• • • Establish a Standing Committee on Public Relations Produce television and radio Public Service Announc~ments (l>SAs) Solicit private sector pro-bono public relations expertise Staff Support: It has been agreed that meeting the growing needs of the Corpmission will be impossible without increased staff support. The consensus among members of the MCSC and the MYPAC is that they need to become more actively involved in the daily work of the Commission. For example, Standing Committee Chairpersons need to take the responsibility of convening committee meetings. There has · also been some support of jncreasing the size of the staff. However, it remains clear that increasing the staff is only an option if the MCSC meets significant fund raising success. Other recommendations include seeking college interns to assist the staff in the Lansing office. Conclusion The Michigan Community Service Commission had a remarkable first year. The success of the Commission is highlighted by the over 1.3 million dollars secured to enhance and expand community service programs in the state. Moreover, the MCSC has served to open communication across streams of service. As a consequence, the seeds of a true statewide system of service and volunteerism have been planted. The Michigan Community Service Commission has brought a good deal of national attention to the state. Michigan is recognized as a national leader in the service-learning movement, in the proliferation of community-based volunteer centers, and in the trend toward statewide unity in service and volunteer initiatives. 1993 promises to be a challenging year for the MCSC. In light of identified critical issues and priorities, and the bold promise of The Michigan Vision, there is a lot of work to be done. There were many urgent challenges before the Commission in 1992 and they were met with significant success. The commitment of the Governor, Commissioners, the MYPAC, the staff, and our partners in Michigan, indicates that future challenges will be met with equal vigor and success. 23 � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Present background and historical data sufficient for each Commissioner to understand how the Michigan Community Service Commission was developed. 2. Provide opportunities fo r members of the MCSC and members of the MYPAC to interact, develop relationships, and share ideas on issues critical to the work of the Commission. 3. Identify the internal strengths and weaknesses of the Commission and the external opportunities and threats that could affect its future. 4. Identify and sequence the critical issues that the Commission must address in the next two years. 5. Identify four goal areas for focus in the next year. Retreat Chronology Friday November 20, 1992 lO:OOam- ll:OOam -Welcome and Overview At this point, only the Commissioners" the staff, Jean Burkhardt, and one MYPAC member were in attendance. The Commissioners were to spend the day taking stock of the Commission. The focus was on evaluating both ourselves as individuals and the MCSC as a group. The MYPAC was scheduled to arrive and begin the joint retreat at 5:00pm. After brief introductions and informal discussion, Diana Algra and Jean Burkhardt reviewed the retreat agenda and the planning process for the retreat and the coming year. Burkhardt introduced the SWOT analysis concept. Generally, SWOT is a small group process employed to assess a group' s internal strengths and weaknesses and external opportunities and threats. 2 �ll:OOam -12:30pm- Taking Stock of Ourselves Commissioners were divided into groups of three and four to engage in Taking Stock of Ourselves. The task was to answer the question, What resources do we bring to the Commission? The groups were given an hour to brainstorm their skills, experiences, contacts, and specific interests . Each group was then given the opportunity to report its findings to the larger group. Some results from the Taking Stock of Ourselves exercise Skills and Experiences: Commissioners and staff members found some striking similarities in their skills, and many talents unique to individuals. The following are some of the more useful skills and experiences discussed by members of the Michigan Community Service Commission: • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • Accounting and Finance Skills Business Experience Coalition Building Community Leadership Fund Raising Grant Reviewing Grant Writing Group Facilitation Motivating Others Problem Solving Public Relations and Media Skills Starting New Programs and New Organizations Strategic Planning School Administration Teaching Working With Youth Writing Contacts: Through board memberships , volunteer pos1t10ns, and other connections, MCSC Commissioners are involved with a staggering number of organizations in Michigan and across the country . In addition, many Commissioners have contact with the sta te 's and the nation 's most influential public, private, and nonprofit leaders . The following is just a sample of the many people and groups to which the MCSC is, in some capacity, connected: 3 �MCSC Members' Local and Regional Involvement • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • Boards of Education and School Administrators Chambers of Commerce City Councils Colleges and Universities Community Action Agencies Community Centers and Local onprofits Community Colleges Community Foundations Conservation Clubs Cooperative Extension Offices County Commissions Leagues of Women Voters Local and County United Ways Local Media Sources Local and Regional Businesses and Industries Places of Worship Senior Citizens Groups Service Clubs Support and Self-help Groups Urban Leagues Volunteer Centers Youth Organizations MCSC Members' State and National Involvement • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • American Red Cross Business and Industry Leaders Campus Compact Campus Outreach Opportunity League (COOL) Center on Philanthropy Commission on National and Community Service Council of Foundations Council of Michigan Foundations Independent Sector Michigan 4-H Michigan Association of Volunteer Administrators Michigan Campaign for Volunteerism Michigan Campus Compact Michigan Department of Education Michigan Department of Social Services Michigan Nonprofit Forum Michigan School Volunteer and Partnerships Program 4 �MCSC Members' State and • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • -ational Involvement ational Association of Social Workers N ational Society fo r Experiential Education N ational Youth Leadership Council Office of the Governor - Yfichigan Other State Offices of Volunteerism Partnership for New Education Private and Family Foundations Retired Seniors Volunteer Prog ram Several State Legislators State Superintendents of Schools United Way of Michigan Various State Government Agencies Volunteer Centers of Michigan YouthBuild uSA Youth Service America Youth Volunteer Corps of America 1:30pm- 3:00pm - Historical Overview of The M CSC In order to ensure common understanding among all Commissioners, MCSC staff, chairperson Michelle Engler, and facilitator Jean Bur kha rdt reviewed the historical context fo r community ser vice and the history of the MCSC. Highlights include discussion of the statewide Youth Service Michigan meetings convened by the Council of M ichigan Foundations, the Michigan Campus Compact, the Michigan Nonprofit Forum, and Youth Service America in the Summer of 1991. This series of three meetings brought together practitioners and participants in all streams of you th service: K- 12, higher education, full - time and volunteer youth corps, and community-based programs, to discuss th e "big picture" of community service in Michigan. As a direct resul t of these meetings, the recommendations of Youth Service America, and the strong commitment of Governor and Michelle Engler, the Michigan Community Service Commission was established in October, 1991. Discussion then turned to the de velopment of the Nation al and Communit y Service Act of 1990 and the subsequen t establishment of the Commission on -ational and Communi ty Service. Other major state an d national community service initiatives were also discussed , at length, to p rovide a clear picture of both the field in Michigan and Michigan' s place at the fo r efr o nt of the nation al community service mo vement. 5 �3:15pm- 5:30pm- Small Group SWOT Analysis Strengths Weaknesses Opportunities Threats The Commissioners were agam divided into small groups, this time to engage in intensive SWOT analysis. Small groups were given one hour to identify strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats of the past year and of the future. From Small Group SWOT Analvsis 4:30pm to 5:30pm, each group reported its observations, then the larger group set to consolidating the information and identifying clusters of related issues. Some results from the group SWOT analysis Strengths: The following is the list of internal strengths of the Michigan Community Service Commission which found consensus among the members of the Commission, the MYPAC, and the staff: • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • Accessibility Bi-Partisanship Clear Vision Governor's Support Cohesion Across Streams of Service Commitment of Members Connections to Important State and National Networks Diversity in Membership Efficiency Flexibility Highly Visible Chairperson Michigan Youth Progressive Action Council (MYPAC) Mutual Respect Between Commission, MYP AC, and Staff Personalities of Members Sensitivity to Needs of Diverse Michigan Populations Skills and Knowledge of Members and Staff Staff Leadership Trust and Teamwork Visibility of Members Volunteer Experience of Members 6 �Weaknesses: This is the list of internal and s tructural chara cteristics of the Commission members and staff consider obstacles. Each of the following represent challenges and opportunities for growth of the MCSC and the field in Michigan: • • • • • • • • • • Danger of Overlap, Duplication vis-a-vis other State Organizations Different Levels of Knowledge, Understanding of the "Big Picture" Emphasis on Securing and Administering NCSA Funds Geographic Barriers to Full Inclusion Inconsistent Attendance and Participa tion from Commissioners Lack Database of Effective and Successful Program Models Lack Long-term "Tactical Plan" for the MCSC: Goals, Timeline Little History or Precedence, Few Models for MCSC Need Specific Role Definition, Respons ibilities for Commissioners Lack Representation on Commission of Certain Populations Specifically Mentioned: • • • • • • • • • • • N ative American Communi ty Out of School Yo uth Private Industry Religious Community No Official Legislative Recognition or Support No Process for Evaluating Impact Poor Visibility in the Field and in the State Reliance on "Soft Money" Staff Limitations Weak Linkages to State Agencies Weaknesses in Grant Proposal Evaluation Process Opportunities: The following is the lis t of identified external support systems, welcomed challenges, and timely circumstances which present opportunities for the MCSC to move forward toward its mission : • • • • • • • • Access to Legislators Access to Media Broad Support in the Field Charles Stewart Mott and W.K.

Members of the MCSC and the MYPAC exchanged informal introductions and discussion. Then, facilitator Jean Burkhardt and several Commissioners gave the MYPAC an overview of the day' s work and of the SWOT analysis process. 7:15pm- lO:OOpm- The MCSC: TheMYPAC: Identifying Critical Issues SWOT Analysis After Dinner, members of the Commission, staff, and Jean Burkhardt reconvened to identify critical issues and prio ritize immediate opportunities and threats. The MYPAC, facilitated by YES Ambassador Darin Day, conducted a SWOT analysis . The results of the MYP AC analysis were p resented to the Commissi on Saturday November 21 , 1992. Comments from the VfYPAC have been fully incorporated into the summary of the overall SWOT analysis. Partners in Service Partners in Savice is the one-to-one learning program designed to increase communication and understanding between members of the .NfCSC and members of the MYPAC. Each MYPAC member has been matched with a Commissioner in the same geographic area. Commissioners are encouraged to meet with their Partn ers regularl y and to invite them to an v meetings of the MCSC or its Committees .

The Grant Review Commi ttee met on Friday, November 20, 1992. Proposals were approved as recommended. 9:00am- 12:1Spm- Identifying Critical Issues and Priorities Members of the MCSC and the MYPAC worked in unison identifying and prioritizing critical issues, and defining specific goals and tasks for the Commission in the coming year . After lunch, members o f the Commission departed. The MYPAC conducted a regular busines s meeting as a Standing Committee until 3:00pm. Critical Issues and Priorities The Following list of critical issues is a summary of comments about the tasks and responsibilities in most urgent need of action . :V1embers of the Commission, the MYP AC, and the staff were divided into task groups of 4 to 5 people to identify and discuss critical issues. The larger group then convened to summarize the comments and set priorities fo r 1993. Identified Critical Issues for 1993 • • • • • • • • • • • Addressing Staff Limitations Applying for Renewed Funding under NCSA Continuing to Network and Develop Partnerships Developing Database of Successful Program Models Defining Clear Roles for Commissioners, MYP AC Members Diversifying Funding Sou rces Emphasizing Public Awareness, Media Exposure Improving Internal Communication (:V1CSC, MYPAC, Staff) Increasing Visibility of the MCSC and Grantees Reaching Diverse Populations of Youth Working with Legislature to Ensure Permanence 11 �Strategies The fo llowing are ideas presented by members of the MCSC, the MYP AC, and the staff to address identified critical issues. Strategies have been divided into four categories: Funding, Internal Communication, Public Relations, and Staff Support. Funding: The issue of long- term fund ing could not be separated from the issue of legislative support. It was generally agreed upon that efforts have to be made to secure permanence fo r the MCSC through the legislatur e. Specific strategies recommended include inviting various legislato rs to Commission functions, employing Governor an d .\t[ichelle Englers' suppo rt, and engaging MYPAC members to perso nally visit their State Representatives and Senators. Other identified fundi ng strategies include seekin g Foundation and Corporate support, direct mail fund raising, and seeking larger individual gifts from private donors. Internal Communication: Timely co mmunic ation be .ween Commissioners, the MYPAC, and the staff was identified as a priority. Strategies recommended to improve MCSC internal communication include deve loping a comprehensive calendar of events and deadlines, publishing an in -house newsletter, encouraging Commission members and MYPAC members to convene regional meetings, and strengthening the Partners in Servicl! program . One of the m ost consistently identified P ublic Relations: weaknesses/ priorities for the Commission is visib ilit y. Comments were made regarding lack of media attention, obscurity of terms like "Service-learning" and "Volunteerism" as well as confusion over terms like "Community Service" and ". ·ational Service" . The following is the list of recommended strategies for increasing visibility and public awareness of the :'vfCSC: • • • • Convene Local Workshops regarding Community Service and Volunteerism Develop Logo, Slogan for Broad Identification Develop Marketing Materials: Brochures, Handbooks Encouraae all MCSC and MYPAC .\lfembers to Discuss MCSC and its Mission 0 at all Public Speaking Engagements • • • • • Develop Standard "Script" to Ensure :'viessage is Clear and Consistent Establish J Public Relations Standing Committee Produce Tele visio n and Rudil) Public Service Announcements (PSAs ) Publicl y Recognize Exemplary Programs and People Solicit Private Sector Pro-bono PR Expertise 12 �Strategies to Address Critical Issues Staff Support: The consensus reg arding staff support was that members of the MCSC and the MYPAC need to become more active in the daily work of the Commission. There was also discussion of increasing the size of the staff. However, it remained clear that increased s taff is only an option if the MCSC meets significant fund raising success. Other recommendations include seeking college interns to assist the staff in the Lansing office. 12:15pm -3:00pm- Departure of Commissioners Meeting of the MYP AC Standing Committee Michigan Community Service Commission members departed between 12:00pm and 12:30pm on Saturday, November 21 , 1992. The MCSC staff, retreat facilitator Jean Burkhardt, and Commissioner Terry Langston attended a regular business meeting of the Standing Committee on Youth Voice, the Michigan Youth Progressive Action Council. 13 � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Some of the questions asked dealt with the Commission itself. Please review this summary and then list below what you feel are the strengths and weaknesses of the Commission from your standpoint. Stren~rths Weaknesses �CHALLENGES FACED BY THE MCSC The attached pages are excerpt from the FERA Evaluation report on Youth Service America's performance in assisting the State of Michigan in developing our state plan. These pages address the short and long term challenges faced by the MCSC as expressed by a representative group of the Commissioners that were interviewed by the staff of FERA. Please note that these interviews took place in July and August of 1992. �Short-Term Challenlles for the MCSC The panicipants were asked to describe what thev consider-ed to be the short-term challenges facing the MCSC and what needed to be done to address them. Five challenges were identified. Thev are: • Equitable distribution of grant funds; • Creating greater visibility; • Acquiring private and public funding support; • Structuring and positioning the MCSC for the future; and • Establishing a strong youth program. What follows is a synthesis of interviewee comments regarding these five challenges. Equitable Distribution of Grant Funds The i..1CSC needs to establish the applicJ.tion process J.nd the selection criteria to guarantee a fair J.nd equitable grant distribut ion process. Tne process must make the most use of limited resources by distributing grant monies to applicants based on merit. Gr::mts should be given to programs that make the most significJ.nt impacts upon social problems J.round the state. The MCSC should create a grant review committee made up of experienced grant reJ.ders who are outside the sphere of influence of state programs and politics in order to safeguard the integrity of the grant distribution process. The MCSC, the Department of Education, and Governor Engler must work together to establish the administrative structure of the gram distribution process and establish the MCSC's authority over the distribu~ ~ tion of funds. -1- �Visibility The MCSC must create ave:1ues to make its mission known to the public, the legislature, and you th serving agencies in Michigan. The MCSC must use media, public affairs activities, speaking opportunities . and other resources to promote its vision and its accomplishments. Promoting the mission of the MCSC and informing the pub lic about federal gram information stimulates coordination among youth serving agencies, avoids duplication, and engages people and organizations in partnership activities which match community needs with volunteers. Quarterly news bulletins sent to developed mailing lists for th e purpose of keeping people and agencies informed of its activities are useful, as are news releases to the media to inform the public and to keep the MCSC visible. Tne effectiveness of the MCSC should be evaluated and the results shared with the legislature. The evaluation should include information about community youth services and their impac:s in different parts of the state. The MCSC should give recognition to successful programs, highlight the accomplishments of youth volumeerism, and advocate the ongoing development of youth policy in local communities. The commissioners might act as ambassadors in order to gather and exchange information in their communities. Funding Two main concerns related to funding were expressed by interviewees: 1) Tne MCSC needs to acquire funding from f~:m~dations and other private and nonprofit sources to sustam ns programs after three years of federal funding. It cannOt rely solely on national funding. 2) The MCSC must develop the 1993 national funding appli~a­ tion. They should seek examples of other successful applications at the national level. -2- �Structuring and Positioning the MCSC for the Future Tne MCSC needs to establish its identity and relationship with the state government and non-government institutions (e.g., the Department of Education, the Depanment of Labor, the Michigan Nonprofit Forum. etc. ). The MCSC needs to have authority over the distribution of gram monies and must understand its role and its boundaries in the governmental power structure. In order to achieve this, a clear set of goals and objectives must be formulated, prioritized, and actualized. The MCSC's structure must be defined and developed and all existing vacancies must be fill ed by individuals who add to its diversity. Direction must be given to the committees in order to meet the objectives (e.g., community collaboration. fundraising, etc. ). The subcommittees must be filled with at-large member,s from the communities. All commissioners must be engaged in active roles as ambassadors and educate legislators about the importance of the MCSC. Toe commissioners mm• also be sensitive to political concerns of the legislatOrs. Michigan Firs·. Lady Michelle Engler, Chair on the Commission. could pl:.ly a more visible role through speaking engagements and sire visits at volunteer activities. The MCSC also needs to determine the commitment level of Governor Engler. The MCSC, currently in existence due w executive order by the Governor, must be established as a legisl:.ltive institution. Governor Engler needs to meet with Department of Education heads to establish guidelines for the Department's involvement with the MCSC. Establish a Strong Youth Involvement Program The MCSC needs to follow through with its vision for youth service and create significant, tangible youth service impacts in the communities. The commission must define specific short-term tasks and actualize them. Tne MCSC must involve more young people in substantive roles on the Commission and in the community. It must establish young people in the roles of ambassadors to educate their peers and promote youth volunteerism in Nlichigan communities. -3- �Lon!;!-Term ChaHen!;!es to the MCSC The participants were also asked to consider the long-Lerm challenges that face the MCSC and offer their solutions to meeting those challenges. Many short-term challenges are also long-term challenges. Interviewees' perceptions and recommendations are summarized below in six areas: • Reliable long-term funding; • Establishing the MCSC as a legislative institution; • Continue youth service policy development; • Deve loping statewide community services beyond youth services; • Maintaining visibility, relevancy, and accessibility; and • Commission appointments. Reliable Long-Term Funding The lvfCSC needs to find reliable and sus"Lainable long-Lerm fundin£. Michigan s current fiscal situation docs not allow for much fundin2: - - - from state governmental resources. Tnerefore, the MCSC must establish credibility with alternative funding sources (e.g., corporations, not-forprofit businesses ). If the short-term challenges mentioned above are met. long-term funding will follow. Establishing the MCSC as a Legislative Institution The MCSC must position itself to become a permanent state agency by building relationships with the House of Representatives and the Senate and establishing itself as a legislative institution. The MCSC must demonstrate that its mission is a meaningful, substantive endeavor and vocalize the importance of volunteer programs to state constituencies. Governor Engler must make the MCSC a priority on his agenda by mandating the development of an annual report and encouraging the involvement of congressmen in district volunteer actiVities. The MCSC must continue to invite people who are committed to youth service to sit on the Commission. -4- �Continue Youth Body Development Tne major challenge is to deve lop an effective statewide youth services program. MCSC must continue to develop its youth service policy, to create greater avenues for youth involvement in communiry services, and to fill as many seats as possible with young people. The MCSC must encourage commissioners to be advocates for youth involvement and encourage the young people to act as ambassadors for youth volumeerism. The MCSC needs to inventory youth services and communiry services in Michigan in order to determine where youth volumeerism can achieve significant and visible impacts. The MCSC must seek _more statelevel opportunities for young people to serve as positive role models. Many opportUnities cater only to the disadvantaged. which sets them apan from other less disadvantaged young people. Developing Statewide Community Services Beyond Youth Services One lc1g-terrn challenge is that the MCSC must move bevond youth senice and develop a vision and a strategic plan for the involvement of other volunteer community services without losing the youth. The .YfCSC must continue to perpetuate its mission to fJ.cilitate communitv service throughout the state. :VfCSC must create a network of coordinated community service :1nd volunteer programs. They must avoid duplicJ.tion of services through network ing and communication with all existing volunteer -services in Michigan. The MCSC must also be able to identify and give recognition to the most effective volunteer community service programs in Michigan. This plan would also uncover constituencies that need the most attention by bringing together ideas, models, and dialogue about what has and has not worked and what is new and innovative. Maintaining Visibility, Relevancy, and Accessibility The MCSC must follow through with solving the shan-term visibili- challenges. They must establish ongoing communication and present its mission clearly through newsletters, mailings, meetings, and personal contact as much as possible if it is to be accessible to grass-roots community service programs. The MCSC also needs an office which is accessible and staffed by people who are concerned and responsive. ty -5- �The MCSC must stay relevant and in touch with the legislature, the public, and with community services around the state. Communication should be simple and easily understood by everyone. Commission Appointments The MCSC must continue to fill positions with energetic, visionary people who are open to ideas outside of the Commission and committed to volumeerism. The MCSC should also invite young people between the ages of 16 and 20 to sit on the Commission and to act as ambassadors for their peers. -6- �Agenda for Michigan Community Service Commission Planning Retreat Bellemont Manor Alliion College GOAI.S: Present background and historical data sufficient for each Commissioner to understand how the Michigan Commission developed and how it relates to the broader service movement.

Both Commissioners and MYPAC members stand to gain a great deal from this kind of relationship. Commissioners will gain access to the valuable viewpoints and perspectives of a young person. In turn, MYP AC members will benefit from the wealth of knowledge and experience each Commissioner can offer. Through communication and cooperation the quality of input from the MYPAC will increase and the work of Commission as a whole will be enhanced. The staff of the Commission have paired each MYPAC member with a Commissioner from the same geographic area. Our hope is that Commissioners involved with Partners in Service will invite their MYPAC partners to travel to Commission meetings with them. Further, we strongly encourage each partner to meet and speak on the telephone frequently, as well as visit each others' programs. The focus of the Partners in Service relationship should be on discussing the work of the Commission and the role of the MYPAC in supporting it and pushing it forward. As in all effective mentoring relationships, each partner in a Partners in Service relationship should be a teacher and a learner. We all have much to give and much to gain from each other. As partners, the Michigan Community Service Commission and the Michigan Youth Progressive Action Council are poised to do a lot of good things in Michigan. Enclosed please find the pairings of MYP AC members and Michigan Community Service Commissioners . You will meet your partner at the MCSC Planning Retreat scheduled for November 20 and 21, 1992. �/ Amy Marie Ahola Hough ton, MI Randy Neelis Escanaba, MI . / Michael Almassian Grand Rapids, MI Beverly Drake Grand Rapids, MI / Mary Beth Brockmeier Holland, MI Dorothy Johnson Grand Haven, MI I Aaron Cunningham Henry Gaines Flint, MI Flint, MI ; Gwen Downs Alpena, MI Vernie N ethercu t, AI pen a, MI Mary Ellen Brandell, Mt.

Was there collaboration? How were people working together? Were higher educational institutions working with K-12 schools? Did individuals in the K-12 system ever connect with corps programs in the field? How effective were programs in working with community based agencies? In April of 1991, under the auspices of the W. K. Kellogg Foundation and the Michigan Campus Compact (MCC), a meeting was convened for all Kellogg Foundation grantees in the area of Volunteerism and Philanthropy which dealt with youth. This meeting brought together community based organizations, K-12 educators, institutions of higher learning and others to share information on their programs; to begin the process of making connections across the streams of service. In late spring Youth Service America (YSA) received a grant from theW. K. Kellogg Foundation to facilitate the development of a youth service policy framework in the state of Michigan. The grant enabled YSA in cooperation with the MCC, the Council of Michigan Foundations (CMF), the Michigan Nonprofit Forum (MNF) and the Michigan State Board of Education to sponsor a two day planning conference on youth service in Michigan. This conference, hosted by the MCC, brought together over 125 individuals from across Michigan representing young people, K-12 education, higher education, full-time service and conservation corps, community based organizations, and state officials. The conference served to crystalize interest in youth service, identify important planning issues and engage program participants, managers and advocates in youth service policy developments. Interested conference participants attended two subsequent planning meetings in July. The CMF hosted the second meeting and the MNF the third. The meetings produced planning recommendations and a framework for youth service in Michigan. At the second meeting in July, Michelle Engler, First Lady of Michigan, announced the intention of the Governor to form the Michigan Community Service Commission (MCSC). This announcement was received positively by those in the field and participants of the summer meetings expressed their interest and commitment to support, advise and assist the Commission in its activities. Also in attendance at the first July meeting was a representative from the Points of Light Foundation. Impressed by Michigan's commitment to service and the kinds of youth service activities in the state, the Points of Light Foundation designated Michigan one of four locations nationwide to pilot their new Youth Engaged in Service (YES) Ambassador program. The YES Ambassador program selected two youth from the state to challenge their peers to engage in service aimed at serious social issues and to stimulate the creation of opportunities and support necessary to make that service meaningful. Since their placement in Michigan the YES Ambassadors have provided an invaluable link between local, state and national initiatives. �Creation of the Michigan Community Service Commission (MCSC) In October, 1991 MCSC was officially created by Governor John En gler by Executive Order 1991 25. The Commission was given the broad mi ssion of developing a statewide service movement, which would focus initially on youth and was designated the state 's lead agency in preparing an application to the National and Community Service Commission. The MCSC is currently composed of 21 members representing a broad con stituency that includes community based agencies, higher education institutions, K-12 , young people, organized labor, small businesses, corporations, and philanthropic organizations. The Commission is also ethnically and geographically diverse in nature. The Commission is chaired by First Lady Michelle Engler who has taken an active role in the Commi ssion and the promotion of its mission around the state. Mission Statement The mission of the MCSC is to encourage community service/volunteerism as a means of community/state problem solving and to promote and s upport voluntary involvement in government and private programs throughout the state.

Standin2 Committees The following standing committees have been established to assist the Commission in carrying out its duties and responsibilities: Standing Committee on Community Collaboration promotes communication and collaboration between public and private volunteer programs in Michigan, and between state and local private and public initiatives to meet community needs. Standing Committeee on Evaluation has outlined an agenda that addresses the evaluation needs of each subtitle under the National and Community Service Act of 1990 and other MCSC initiatives. Evaluations are based on outcomes for participants, the community, and the state. The Standing Committee Fund Development Fund Development is responsible for developing and implementing strategies to secure resources from private and public sources at national, state, and local levels. The Standing Committee on Recognition is developing a multi-tier recognition and award program for community service and volunteerism in the state. The first tier will be recognition from the MCSC. Eligible applicants will include all who serve in organized youth and community service programs.The second tier will be a Governor 's award for exemplary service. The committee is also working with individual communities to develop local recognition programs. The Standing Committee on Youth Voice has named itself the Michigan Youth Progressive Action Council (MYPAC). The MYPAC is a fifteen member body of young people between the ages of 12 and 21. Its responsibilities include bringing the perspective of young people to all MCSC discussions and decisions. Major Accomplishments in 1991-1992 The Commission is building upon already existing initiatives. To maximize resources in the state, MCSC acts to encourage organizational collaboration and joint problem solving among public and private agencies. The Commission recogn izes government as an essential, but not exclusive, partner in building effective community coalitions around local community needs. Real and substantive state and local partnerships among government, business, philanthropy, nonprofits and citizens must be formed if we are to make a difference. Integral players in this vision have bee n young people. While many of the problems facing communities affect youth directly, rarely are they encouraged to contribute in the development of solutions. The state has made a substantive commitment to involve young people in the development of youth service policy and community problem solving. We fmnly believe that there is no limit to what young people can do. They are an essential resource that our society and communities must call upon as we seek to meet pressi ng local needs. Young people were a vital part of the meetings which led to the formation of the Commission and they continue to be central 5 �.. in the Con:tm.ission ' s procee~in.gs. Currently two young people serve as full voting members on the <;omrrusswn. !he Comrruss10n has also had the benefit of working closely with the two Points of L1ght Foundation YES Ambassadors. These young people have been able to provide MCSC with the knowledge they have gained from their work in the state. The Commission has developed other strategies which will ensure a strong and effective youth voice in Commission business. These include the development of a statewide youth body on community service and youth issues, and the development and implementation of a mentoring program which has paired Commissioners with MYPAC representatives in their locality. The State Plan The first major task that the Commission undertook was the development of a comprehensive state plan on youth service in response to the Commission on National and Community Service. In developing the plan the MCSC and other key individuals involved with community service at the state and local level identified the following elements as integral to the development of a successful comprehensive plan: • Programs must be built around local community needs and interests. • Young people and community program practitioners must be involved tn policy development and program design . • Programs must be representative of their communities; diversity of participants is essential. • Programs must be built on existing resources and strengths. • The business community must be involved. • A statewide training capacity in the best practices for youth service programs must be developed . • A comprehensive and coordinated statewide information clearinghouse for programs and organizations that draws on what currently exists within networks must be created. • Sufficient rewards, incentives and recognition to promote service should be developed. In light of the above elements a comprehensive plan was developed. The initiatives outlined in this next section reflect the state's commitment to ensure that every person be they young or old has access to the opportunity to serve. The Michigan Vision The following statement is taken from a speech given by Mala Mirchandani in acceptance of a Student Community Service Award from the Michigan Campus Compact, March 6, 1992. A longer excerpt of that same speech serves as the introduction and the theme of The Michigan Vision .. · Ideally, we would all like a society where no one goes hungry, where there is a home for everyone, where a man is treated as a man and not by the color of his skin, where drugs have no place ... where crime has no place and no one needs to commit a crime for a meal or the need to get ahead ... where corruption and dishonesty have no place, and where people can live and not struggle. 6 �.· Idealism. So you work for Idealism. You believe in Idealism. And you practice Idealism ... And with time, and a little care, you begin to see a little bit of light for places, before you only found darkness. And then soon you ' II find Idealism is not only practical - but a reality. When The Michigan Vision was written in late winter, 1992, it was the comprehensive statement on the convictions and passions of The Michigan Community Service Commission (MCSC) and its allies regarding community involvement and active citizenship. The vision is a working, living document whose words and ideas give shape and focus to the work of the MCSC. We continue to draw from the vision inspiration and guidance. Moreover, it is the vision; more than any code, regulation, or policy; against which our progress is measured and our short-comings exposed. The Michigan Vision serves as a clear testimony to our beliefs, but also as an ambitious agenda for our actions. Outlined within the vision are several concrete initiatives to be facilitated by the MCSC in an effort to marry the power of our ideals and the results of our work. There are few explicit strategies and no timelines. Priorities continue to be set as much by opportunity as by choice. We are struggling to build bridges between our idealism and our reality , but we are building those bridges. We can take some pride in the steps we have taken in 1991 and 1992. Indeed, we can be very proud of the collaboration and sense of common purpose the MCSC has helped nurture across the streams of community service in Michigan. As we review the goals outlined in the vision, we can be heartened by the progress being made toward their realization. However, we must remain sober about the work ahead of the MCSC and our allies as we strive to reach beyond ourselves to an idealism that is not only practical- but is a reality. Progress on Initiatives Outlined by The Michigan Vision The following initiative statements come directly from the text of The Michigan Vision . Following each initiative statement is a brief summary of the action taken by the MCSC in 1991-1992. • Encourage young people to become advocates for service, volunteerism, and civic participation in their communities. One strategy will be to establish a statewide youth body on community service. This youth body will act as a standing committee of the Commission and will create a network of youth across the streams of service and ensure that young people will continue to play a role in the development of youth service policy. The Michigan Community Service Commission established a standing committee called the Michigan Youth Progressive Action Council (MYPAC) in September, 1992. The MYPAC consists of 15 members, ages 12 to 20, from every region of the state. The MYPAC shares the status and responsibilities of all standing committees. Becau se MYPAC, the council is able to introduce and review policies which go before the MCSC, participates in strategic planning, and play a role in every level of the Commission 's work. Like MCSC members, MYPAC members are strong advocates for service, volunteerism, and civic participation in their communities. 7 �.. • Establish a multi-tier recognition/awards program. The first tier award will come from the state commission and be made available to all who serve in organized youth and Community service programs. The second tier award will be a Governor's award for exemplary service. The state Commission will also encourage local communities to develop and coordinate their own awards programs. The MCSC also established a Recognition Standing Committee in 1992, which has made plans to have a multi-tier recognition and awards program in place by early 1993. The committee has pursued, to the letter, the recognition and award program outlined in the above initiative statement. • Promote and facilitate functional partnerships among appropriate organizations in every Michigan community. These partnerships will be organized initially around youth service program design structures. In all of the Requests for Proposals developed by the MCSC to solicit applications for monies granted under the National and Community Service Act of 1990, we have strongly encouraged local partnerships. Indeed , in some categories collaboration is required . Using our grantmaking capacity as leverage, the MCSC has facilitated dialogue at the local level which has led to some exciting and creative partnerships. • Coordinate program development and capacity building around the strengths and resources of existing programs and organizations such as: Michigan 4-H, Michigan Campus Compact, National Youth Leadership Council's Service Learning Center, Michigan School Volunteers Program, Partnerships in Education, Volunteer Centers of Michigan, Michigan Nonprofit Forum, the Council of Michigan Foundations, Community Action Agencies and Private Industry Councils. The state will also strive to establish unifying thematic areas for program development and capacity building around service needs such as early age intervention, family support, and intergenerational programs. The Michigan Community Service Commission has not established itself as the statewide coordinating body for developing the capacity of other organizations. It is not at all clear that Michigan needs a state-level entity to function in this way . Further, there is no consensus among Commissioners that they would like to see the MCSC move in this direction . The Commission, however, has been very supportive of others ' work and has provided opportunities and incentives for organizations in Michigan to assist each other in program development and capacity building. • Identify and help coordinate public and private funding sources necessary to advance youth service. The MCSC has established a Fund Development Standing Committee. Membership of the committee consists of key individual s from the public , private , and philanthropic sectors. Furthermore, the MCSC has accessed the National and Community Service Act of 1990 (NCSA) to bring funds aimed at youth service to the state. Most of the monies from the NCSA have been subgranted throughout Michigan. All grantees are required to provide matching funds as well as viable sustainability strategies. Through it grant making powere the MCSC has mobilized both federal and local dollars toward advancing youth service. The Commission is also researching the legislative action that would secure sustained public support for community service in Michigan. 8 �.. • Establish a state clearin~ho~se on service and volunteerism drawing upon the resources of the M1ch1gan Campus Compact, Council of Michigan Foundations, Michigan Nonprofit Forum, Michigan Departments of Education and Labor, and Cooperative Extension 4-H, or facilitate the development of clearinghouses within each stream of youth service. Although it has no plans to establish its own , the MCSC has played a role in the development of several state clearinghouses on service and volunteerism: The Michigan Campus Compact hosts a Midwest Regional Resource Center on Mentoring, The Volunteer Centers of Michigan have established a toll-free statewide telephone volunteer referral service, and the Partnership for New Education , in cooperation with the National Youth Leadership Council, has established a statewide K-12 Service Learning Center on the Campus of Michigan State University . • Establish a statewide training model in youth service, in coordination with the clearinghouse, utilizing the resources of such organizations as the National Youth Leadership Council's Michigan Service Learning Center, Michigan 4-H, High Scope Educational/Research Foundation, Volunteer Centers of Michigan, and the Michigan Campus Compact. Training will be made available to youth and adult volunteers, educators, corps members, state agency representatives, community leaders and other who are interested in the field of community service and service learning. In cooperation with the Michigan Campus Compact/Campus Outreach Opportunity League (COOL) and the Council of Michigan Foundations (CMF), and the Points of Light Foundation, the MCSC is establishing a network of regional training capacities for young people throughout Michigan. The network taps into and supports the resources outlined in the vision and several others both in Michigan and in the nation. Establish a common terminology for youth service e.g clarify distinction between court-ordered service and community service. The MCSC will address this issue in 1993. • Establish principles for effective youth service programs which incorporate a service learning philosophy and ensure that youth have a meaningful service experience. The MCSC is in full agreement and support of existing principles for good practice established in Wingspread Special Report : Principles of Good Practice for Combining Service and Learning, published by the Johnson Foundation. The Commission has required applicants for NCSA funds under all subtitles to design programs in accordance with these principles. • Institute a process to unify program data collection and evaluation by establishing standards and objectives across all youth service program areas. The MCSC has established an Evaluation Standing Committee designed to assess the work of the Commission and its grantees. The committee expects to develop a replicable system of data collection and evaluation to be available for use by youth service practitioners throughout 9 �Michigan . • Establish an in-state K-12 service grant pro~ram administered by the Michigan State Department of Education '" conjunction with the Commission, to support community service and service learning programs for K-12 age youth. Program design specifications will include stipend support for a teacher and or community based coordinator, be intended to integrate service learning into specific content curriculum or meet community needs. Programs will also coordinate and cooperate with other youth service activities in the community (particularly those linked to the state plan) and the local Partnership for Education and the Michigan School Volunteer Program. The MCSC has secured in excess of $600,000 from the Natio nal and Community Service Act of 1990 to meet these ends. • Ensure that the activities of the state commission are coordinated with the Michigan 2000 Excellence in Education Committee. For instance, because citizenship education is part of the national educational goals, the commission will encourage the Committee to adopt community service and service learning as an important component in the Michigan New American Schools model. The MCSC will address this iss ue in 1993 . • Support workforce preparation by promoting positive productive community problem solving roles for all youth across the state. Special attention will be given to directly . linking school age service programs with community colleges. Communit y colleges should be encouraged to include service as a part of their technical skills development programs. Through its support of and partnership with the Michigan Campus Compact, the MCSC has an indirect impact on the development of collaborative community college service learning model s with outreach components to non-college youth. • Establish the Governor 's Youth Environmental Education Corps, a residential rural summer youth corps program, which will be administered through the job Training Partnership Act network. The Youth Environmental Education Corps was created in June, 1992. • Facilitate the development of a Michigan " City Year" model from a combination of philanthropic and business funds. Initial discussions have begun in the City of Grand Rapids and the state will continue to assist the development of this project. The state would also like to see the mod el replicated in one other Michigan community during the next four years. The " City Year" project is underway in Grand Rapids, Michigan and has the full cooperation and support of the Michigan Community Service Commission. 10 �• Esta.blish Michigan c_:ARES (Communities and Resources Engaged in Servace) a program des•gned to encourage youth and adults to participate in implementing and evaluating service projects which respond to local community needs. This innovative model encourages and assists local community collaborations in the development of community service action teams (CSA T), made up of part - time, full -time and senior corp members, and provides ongoing assistance to localities in the upkeep of these CSA Ts. Through this model to state seeks to strengthen existing and develop new community service initiatives aimed at youth. This initiative did not receive NCSA funds in 1992 . The proposal is to be evaluated, redesigned, and resubmitted in 1993. • Support the development of a statewide network of summer communitybased and operated youth volunteer corps programs and full-time urban corps linked in each community to community-based organizations, K-12 education, and higher education. In October, 1992, with leveraged funds from the National and Community Service Act of 1990, the MCSC assisted in the development of five new Youth Volunteer Corps in Michigan. In addition, the Commission set aside funds to enhance existing Youth Volunteer Corps and full-time Urban Corps programs in the state. • Designate and promote the Michigan Campus Compact as the higher education consortium responsible for coordinating a higher education service plan. The Michigan Campus Compact (MCC) has been designated by the MCSC as the higher education consortium responsible for coordinating a comprehensive higher education service plan. • Establish an in-state college service grant program administered by the MCC, under the coordination and final review of the state commission, to augment MCC's current venture grant program. These grants wifl give special consideration to higher education projects with partner with or impact K-12 schools. In addition, a Michigan Resource Service Center housed at the Michigan Campus Compact will be developed to facilitate leadership training for higher education participants, to develop service learning resources and to disseminate materials from the collegiate field. In cooperation and partnership with the Michigan Campus Compact, the MCSC has established an in-state college service grant process entitled the Michigan Generation Grant Program. Application to the Commission on National and Community Service Our comprehensive state application to the Commis sion on National and Community Service for funding under the National and Community Service Act of 1990 netted Michigan a total of $1.3 million dollars. We were funded in three of the four categories available. The following subsection outlines our progress to date in each category. II �Title B 1: Serve America The Michigan Department of Education is administrating programs under this title. Our award in this category totaled $628,408.00.

This review will yield recommendations to the Michigan Community Service Commission by midDecember 1992. The response from the field ge nerated 203 proposals for review. Title B II: Higher Education The Michigan Generation Grant Program The Michigan Community Service Commission designated the Michigan Campus Compact Higher Education Collaborative as the lead higher education consortia in Michigan for the National and Community Service Act Title II B Higher Education Award Program. Michigan was granted $250,000, the second highest award granted in the nation under Title II B. One of the outcomes was the Michigan Generation Grant Program consisting of a minimum of 22 subgrants ranging from $500 to $15,000 for a total of $200,000. The granting process was divided into two cycles. The selection committee was comprised of representatives from higher education, the field of service learning, students, and members of the Michigan Community Service Commission.

The goal of the center is to disseminate information to individual campuses to enhance local programs while creating a body of knowledge that furthers the entire field of service learning. 14 �.. The center provides .support and resources to ~I ~ichigan inst~tutions developing projects. It helps to ensure colla~orat10n between groups working In the same Interest area and transmits expertise across areas of Interest. The center collects information already in existence including materials on curriculum development, evaluation and outcomes, program models, leadership and training, and issue-specific program areas (i.e. mentoring, literacy , homelessness). The center also provides technical assistance to Michigan colleges and universities regarding newsletter publishing , grantwriting, program evaluation, and other skills. As knowledge of programs and projects grows, the center will convene individuals to share ideas, implementation strategies, results , and challenges. One outcome of these meetings will be the publication of new information from the field. Materials the Resource Center may publish include a community needs assessment instrument, information on orientation and training for students and community members, materials on infusing service learning into curricula, and information on appropriate collaborations within the community and across the state. Title C: Youth and Conservation Corps Our award under Title C totaled $500,000. These funds were distributed into two categories: 1. $250,000 2. $250,000 to be granted to local communities to develop, implement, or enhance youth corp to be allocated to operate three re si dential camps entitled the Youth Environmental Education Service Corps (YEES) . models. • $115,000 was designated to fund new Youth Volunteer Corps initiatives serving youth ages 12 to 17 . We anticipate making up to 5 grants. • $45,000 was designated to assist existing Youth Volunteer Corps in the state. We anticipate awarding three grants. • $70,000 was designated to assist with year-round full-time Urban Corps models in the state. Maximum award: $35,000. We anticipate awarding two grants. To date the following has taken place in each of the above categories: The 1992 Michi~an Youth Environmental Education Service CMYEES) Corps was a great success. Through a combination of federal (Commission on National and Community Service grant and the Job Training Partnership Act) and state (Michigan Department of Transportation) funds, three residential camps operated for nine weeks this summer. The three camps are: Camp Alberta - 8 miles south from L'anse in the western Upper Peninsula; Camp Boedne Bay - near St. Ignace in the eastern Upper Peninsula and Camp Tippy Dam -on the Manistee River in the western Lower Peninsula. The camps served over 90 youth (early vacancies were filled with new recruits) . Each camp included 30 youth, 18-21 years old, who were economically and non-economically disadvantaged and recruited from all over the state. The youth included various ethnic backgrounds, experiences and education . The three camps operated for nine weeks from June 15, 1992 to August 14, 1992. Work Projects - The camps identified local work projects that would fulfill unmet community needs and the work projects focused on environmental areas. A total of 22,636 15 �• project hours were devoted to state and local needs. Examples of work projects include: • Harietta Fish Hatchery - the corpsmembers cleaned fish raceways and baffles; • Pine River - members positioned rocks for erosion control of the riverbank; • Hiawatha National Forest - corpsmembers built fish cribs, cut cross country ski trails and built boat docks; • Indian Lake State Park- members constructed restrooms for the handicapped and performed campground maintenance; • Canyon Falls and Tioga Creek Parks - members were involved in park clean-up and maintenance; • Whitefish Point Lighthouse and Museum - corpsmembers assisted in harbor cleanup . The Title C Subgranting Process An Request for Proposal (RFP) was developed and mailed out to 300 organizations and individuals including Volunteer Action Centers, United Ways, Community Action Agencies, Cooperative Extension 4-H offices, Urban Leagues and individuals that had requested notification. This Request for Proposal (RFP) yielded twelve proposals for consideration in the category of New Youth Volunteer Corps models . A review panel was designated that included members of the Michigan Community Service Commission youth, and outside readers in the field of youth volunteer corps. Thi s review brought forth five proposals for Commission consideration for funding. 1992 New Youth Volunteer Corps Award Recipients: Total Projects Funded: 5 Total Funding: $ 115,000 Total Number of Participants: _ _ Alpena Community College Alpena, Ml Currently about 80 Alpena High School students volunteer 2 to 4 hours per week in human service agencies during the school year. The YVC plan is to recruit junior and senior high school students for weekend Team Projects in Spring Semester 1993, and for four two-week projects in the summer of 1993. Teams would consist of 8 to 10 volunteer youth and one paid Team Leader. Projects include mentoring, housing rehabilitation , and park maintenance. The program will target teens from low income families , those struggling with academics, and those possessing handicapper characteristics. The 8 to 10 member teams are also expected to provide service for Alpena 's community events such as the Brown Trout Festival and the June Riverfest. Funding: $25,000. EightCAP, Inc. Greenville, MI 16 �The Montcalm-l?nia Youth Volunteer Corps (YVC) would be a year-round project providing volunteer expenences for 80 youth . Because these counties are rural and comprised of communities with populations less than 9,000, resources are not available in any one community to initiate a youth volunteer project. A Youth Volunteer Corps program would provide direction and leadership for establishing an on-going network for youth service in these rural areas. In its 26th year as a Community Action Agency, EightCAP has developed and operated programs in such areas as summer youth employment, domestic violence , foster grandparents , JTPA, Head Start, home weatherization , and Special Olympics. Staff expertise and community support will help facilitate the development of meaningful service opportunities for YVC participants. Funding: $19,000 Menominee-Delta-Schoolcraft Community Action Agency Escanaba, MI The main objectives of the Youth Volunteer Corps (YVC) include unlimited opportunities for youth to participate in projects which directly benefit their community. The cities of Escanaba and Gladstone have several major projects in which the YVC will participate. For example, feeding residents of elderly care facility , city beautification , and Special Olympics. Expected outcomes include increased intergenerational communication and understanding, direct service to the community, and a supportive atmosphere for youth . The involvement of the schools and the Retired Seniors Volunteer Program (RSVP) will increase public awareness and involvement. The Menominee-Delta-Schoolcraft Community Action Agency is also applying to become a Volunteer Center through the Volunteer Centers of Michigan (VCM) . Funding: $16,000 United Way of Muskegon County and the Muskegon County Community Foundation Muskegon, MI In its first year, the Muskegon County YVC hopes to involve 200 young people, ages 14 to 18, in guided team community service projects and provide the community with more than 20,000 volunteer hours . The YVC will place teams of youth volunteers , led by trained Team Leaders, in diverse community agencies to provide service which is meaningful to the community and to the participant. Youth volunteers can serve in intensive summer sessions of 4 to 8 weeks and in periodic short-term school year projects. Drawn from the full socio-economic, geographic, and ethnic diversity of Muskegon County, youth volunteers will develop important civic and life skills through exposure to others and by performing needed community service. Funding: $32,500 Wayne-Metropolitan Community Services Agency Ecorse, MI This project is a collaboration between Wayne-Metropolitan Community Services Agency (WMCSA), the Youth Volunteer Corps of Metropolitan Detroit, and Communities First. The program will be based in the City of Highland Park . Youth will be recruited through various community sources. Every attempt will be made to match participants with service initiatives in their own communities. The scope of the program includes Ecorse, River Rouge, Inkster, Romulus, Taylor, Hamtramck, and Sumpter Township. These cities have been identified as t~e most economically vulnerable in the Out-Wayne County area. The Out-Wayne County YVC will participate in such programs as neighborhood rehabilitation, working in homeless shelters, soup 17 �kitchens, food distribution, and services to senior citizens. The YVC will also coordinate the efforts of the emerging City of Highland Park Teenage City Council and provide services to · various city government offices. Funding: $22,500 The second funding category was designated for the enhancement or development of both ongoing Youth Volunteer Corps and full-time Urban Corps. Yoyth Voice Actiyjties In order to meet its mission of involving young people in all levels of community problem solving, the MCSC began several initiaves in 1991-1992. Collectively , the following represent the Commission's Youth Voice Activities. The Points of Light Foundation Michigan Youth Engaged in Service (YES) Ambassador Program The Points of Light Foundation is a national, nonprofit, nonpartisan organization whose vision is to make meaningful community service aimed at alleviating serious social problems central to the life of every American. Youth Engaged in Service (YES) is a division of the Foundation which is committed to making that vision a reality for young people between the ages of 5 and 25. In order to meet this goal, the division has created Youth Engaged in Service (YES) Ambassadors. YES Ambassadors act as advocates for youth involvement in community problem solving and act as catalysts for the creation of youth service opportunities. In August of 1991, the state of Michigan was one of four locations chosen by the Points of Light Foundation to pilot its Youth Engaged in Service (YES) Ambassador program. In September 1991 two young people between the ages of 18-25 were selected from over 50 applicants by a selection committee made of up of representatives from the Points of Light Foundation and leaders in the field of service in Michigan . From September, 1991-September 1992, Cynthia Scherer and Trabian Shoners acted as advocates for the involvement of youth in community problem solving, and have worked directly with youth to engage them in service, and with individuals, organizations and institutions to stimulate the development of youth service opponunities. In September of 1992 the first year of the YES Ambassador program came to a close. After evaluating the program, the Points of Light Foundation decided to continue and expand the program. In 1992-93 YES Ambassadors are placed in nine locations across the nation. The four original locations; California, Michigan Pennsylvania and Washington, D.C. ; will be joined by Colorado, Georgia, Kentucky, Maryland and Minnesota. A diverse selection committee was put together in Michigan with members representing both young people and leaders in the field of service. Announcements about the position were sent to over 800 individuals, organizations, and institutions across the state including volunteer centers, United Ways, community foundations, college placement offices, and 4-H. The YES Ambassador in Michigan for 1992-93 is Darin Day, a graduate of the Michigan State University School of Social Work and a former Michigan Community Service Commission member. Based on the experience of the first year the program has been modified. Major differences include a more narrowed focus and the selection of only one Ambassador per location. 18 �• ~ The 1?92-93 Ambassador will work primaril y with young people through a variety of institutions, especially K-12 schools, volunteer centers, the Michigan K-12 Service Learning Center, and the Michigan Community Service Commission. ·Specific responsibilities of the Youth Engaged in Service Ambassador: • Training young people in leadership skills and service learning in schools, volunteer centers, and other nonprofit settings. • Recruiting and training college students to assis t school youth and teachers in developing service learning activities as part of classroom instruction. • Working with the MCSC to develop statewide youth policy . • Researching and identifying exemplary youth community service programs, youth leaders, and resources that can assist individuals in the development of youth service programs. The Michigan Youth Progressive Action Council (MYPAC) In September, 1992, the Michigan Community Service Commission established a standing committee of young people to forward its mi ssion of youth involvement in community problem solving throughout the state. The fifteen young people involved range in age from 12 to 20 and come from places as far apart as Detroit and Houghton. They represent youth from virtually every cultural, geographic, socioeconomic, racial, educational, and political background in Michigan. They each bring a unique set of experiences, skills, and abilities to the Commission and its work. The committee came together for the flrst time September 18-21, 1992, in Ann Arbor. There they established the name The Michigan Youth Progressive Action Council (MYPAC) . They set an ambitious agenda for the year which includes visits and exchanges between participants in outstanding community programs and lobbying the legislature for more support of young people and youth service. Each member of the MYPAC has been paired with a Michigan Community Service Commissioner through an initiative called Partners in Service . Partners in Service is a one to one learning mcxiel which matches MYPAC members and MCSC members from the same geographic region. Through Partners in Service , Commissioners have access to the valuable viewpoints and perspectives of young Michigan citizens, and MYPAC members have access to the wealth of knowledge and experience each member of the MCSC offers. Through the MYPAC, Partners in Service, and other initiatives, the Michigan Community Service Commission is giving youth in Michigan opportunities to have a real impact on what happens in our state and in our communities. Perhaps the most significant benefit of initiatives like these is the opportunity for the MCSC to truly stay in touch with the needs and experiences of the young people it seeks to serve and support. 19 � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

The YVC plan is to recruit junior and senior high school students for weekend Team Projects in Spring Semester 1993, and for four two-week projects in the summer of 1993. Teams would consist of 8 to 10 volunteer youth and one paid Team Leader. Projects include mentoring, housing rehabilitation, and park maintenance. The program will target teens from low income families, those struggling with academics, and those possessing handicapper characteristics. The 8 to 10 member teams are also expected to provide service for Alpena's community events such as the Brown Trout Festival and the June Riverfest. Recommended Funding: $25, 000 EightCAP, Inc. Greenville, MI The Montcalm-Ionia Youth Volunteer Corps (YVC) would be a year-round project providing volunteer experiences for 80 youth. Because these counties are rural and comprised of communities with populations less than 9,000, resources are not available in any one community to initiate a youth volunteer project. A Youth Volunteer Corps program would provide direction and leadership for establishing an on-going network for youth service in these rural areas. In its 26th year as a Community Action Agency, EightCAP has developed and operated programs in such areas as summer youth employment, domestic violence, foster grandparents, JTPA, Head Start, home weatherization, and Special Olympics. Staff expertise and community support will help facilitate the development of meaningful service opportunities for YVC participants.

Corpsmembers, !8-21 years old were recruited by local Service Delivery Areas (SDAs) in lower Michigan. The fourteen staff members were hired within one week of the camp opening due to last minute notification of funding availability. T w o s i t e s u p e r v i s o r s , t w o r e c r e a t i o n c o o r din a t o r s , f i v e c r e w supervisors and the cook all lived on site. The kitchen assisstant, who lived nearby, and two security guards commuted to work. The program coordinator did not live on site and divided work time about equally between the camp and the Manistee YET P office. On June 15th, 20 young men and 7 young women arrived at camp. Of these original Corpsmembers, fourteen would stay t ; complete the entire program. Throughout the camp session, a number o f participants left and were replaced. In a l l, 34 Michigan youth were enrolled at Camp Tippy Dam. In cooperation with the Michigan Departments of Transportation and Natural Resources, work assignments were coordinated by the site supervisors. The crews were scheduled to work 40 hours per week. Recreational and educational activities were available after work hours and on weekends. Several highlights of the program were: an all camp trip to Camp Boedne Bay to meet with Governor and Mrs. Engler, marching in the Manistee Forest Festival Parade, and an all-day canoe trip on the Manistee River. Administrative direction for Camp Tippy Dam came from Ken Renaud, YETP Director and Charlene Schlueter, Associate Director for the Council of Governments. Local program assistance was available from Karen Peabody, local YETP Youth Advisor. This report was prepared by Pamela Tompke, Camp Tippy Dam Program Coordinator August 31, 1992 �STAFF RECOMMEND ATfONS CAMP TIPPY DAM PROGRAM RECOMMENDATIONS Develop written job descriptions for all staff positions.

October 23, 1992 Mrs. Michelle Engler First Lady of Michigan and Chair Michigan Community Service Commission Lansing, Michigan 48909 Dear Mrs. Engler: It is indeed my pleasure to have the opportunity to present Impact Seminars for Youth to the Michigan Community Service Commission this morning. The highlights are provided below. Mentors and tutors are great, but, as you well know, there are never enough volunteers - because of the time demanded. Faced with this, we devised a different approach, and now have more volunteers than we can process - hundreds were enrolled within a few months of our January 1991 launch. Our objective is to shift the peer-pressure within each urban school through daily exposure of students to these successful men and women - via techniques noted below. Once children are motivated and recognize the value of education, teachers have a far simpler task. In the process, this concept builds a large pool of professional men and women with a personal investment in "their" school. Virtually all return, and they will also entice their friends and associates to join with them. Our approach builds relationships between these professionals and the teachers & students. This deepens their involvement, and some will then seek-out the greater commitment required of a mentor or tutor. This exciting speaker/role-model concept achieves this by providing a series of African-American professionals (which reflect the student demographics of our lead schools) in a different classroom of each selected school, eventually evert day of the week, all year long. Each speaker holds an informa conversation with the students (termed a seminar) which: 1) challenges them to dream, 2) emphasizes the importance of education, 3) re-validates the teacher's message, and 4) has each speaker serve as the credible proof a student's dreams can be realized. Mr. William Raspberry featured our program in his April 1992 column in the Washin~ton Post, and the double-sided speaker flyer expounds on our simp e and direct approach. One which enabled some 250 men and women to reach 2400 Detroit children via 300 seminars during our first year. Our goal for the 1992-93 schoolyear is to facilitate 600 seminars (within only six schools): Once expanded, this concept can reach ten or twenty thousand classrooms, every year, as it is applied across the 250 schools �in Detroit. And yet this all =emains t~ansparent to each school's administrative staff- one speaker directly contacts one teacher to set the date and discuss the focus for the one hour seminar in their classroom. The resources (i.e. speakers) are available, and the need is urgent. All that is required is a mechanism to bring them together. This is the role of Impact Seminars for Youth. Mr. Larry Patrick, as Chair of Detroit 2000, has provided his full support per the enclosed letter. In addition, the concept is being introduced into other cities via other organizations because, what works in Detroit, will work in every majo= city across the country. Our approach enables a handful of committed individuals to mobilize a virtual army of volu~teers - all woven into a cohesive program of great value to child=en and teachers. The administrative task has been divided into three distinct activities which can be handled by three volunteers for a couple hours per week, each (ref. enclosure). Also note the various techniques utilized to project this stream of speakers onto the enti~e student body of each school. This increased awareness has already been shown to shift the peer-pressure in individual classrooms. Next, we will do the same for an entire school. We will f reely share this concept with anyone expressing an interest because, as powerful as this is, its full potential can only be realized if other organizations also utilize the approach. Others are most welcome to adopt it for thei~ use, and are encouraged to call me for further details. I will welcome whatever assistance you or members of the Commission may choose to provide in support of our program. Most respectfully yours, Orlando B.

This concept is so simple yet so very powerful. Your approach eliminates many of the obstacles wrestled with in other attempts to bring educators and business people together. I am amazed you were able to reach 2400 students among six schools via 300 seminars given by 250 business men and women - and do so within your first eighteen months of operation. Action on this scale, applied across the more than 250 schools of the District could provide tremendous benefit to students and teachers alike. The Detroit 2000 Project, which I chair, would greatly benefit from your input, and I would like you to share your experience with one or more of the Detroit 2000 committees. I commend you for having the courage to leave a secure, twenty-year career to devote full-time to this undertaking, and do so without financial assistance. I pledge my full personal support to you and this program, for its potential is indeed exciting. zly. Lawrence c.

The concept is very straightforward, yet provides the type of community activity the University encourages among our alumni. My staff will help you bring this to the attention of The Alumni Association's Reunion of Black Graduates committee, as a program worthy of their consideration. It clearly provides an effective process to bring very large numbers of individuals into direct involvement with students. I am always interested in learning what alumni are doing, and I must say you have moved far afield from the BS and MS degrees in nuclear engineering.

I am convinced that the more opportunities students have to hear from "real world" business people the better the chance for a promising future for all of us. Clearly, Junior Achievement and Impact Seminars have this opportunity as their primary objective. I am pleased to know that you will be a collaborative partner with Junior Achievement by referring volunteers from Impact Seminars, who are looking for on-going opportunities, to work with young people. We will gratefully accept these dedicated and community-concerned people into our organization and find an appropriate program for them. Again, congratulations on your success and thank you for allowing Junior Achievement to benefit from your efforts. ~;I~~ Thomas G. Dewar President Business Basics Project Business Applied Economics I.A. �African-American Professionals Here is a means for you to easily help young students. ONE Hour from Your Career for ONE Dialogue between You, and ONE Detroit Classroom yields ONE Powerful Impact! We invite you to: Visit one Detroit middle school classroom, Converse with the students on how you achieved your success, Personally share the obstacles you faced and overcame, Convey the value of a firm educational foundation, and Relate a child's current studies to the professional world at large, and emphasize what they must do today! Yes, you (with the teacher) will conduct this one-hour seminar with one classroom of children. To - participate contact: Orlando B. Doyle, Founder Impact Seminars for Youth P.O. Box 177, Royal Oak, MI 4ff068 (313) 542-3579 �Overall Objectives of Impact Seminars for Youth, Inc. Five objectives: 1) Bring hope to children in poor urban neighborhoods, and greatly expand their future horizon and options by repeated exposure to credible role-models. Emphasizes education's critical role in making them productive citizens. 2) Personally expose thousands of business men and women to the educational crisis. Energizes these speakers, and helps them - and teachers - to recognize the contribution they can make within the classroom. 3) Build relationships between teachers and business people. Virtually all speakers are eager to return, and some choose follow-up activity of a more substantive nature. (We will direct these committed individuals to other, existing organizations that have more comprehensive programs established within schools.) 4) Shift the student peer-pressure within each classroom and school regarding the value of education - achieved via the repeated, personal exposure to successful men and women. 5) Demonstrate the potential of this exciting and powerful, yet simple, concept, and freely share it with other organizations throughout Detroit and across the nation. We will achieve all five objectives via daily visits into each selected school (a different classroom each time), by successful African-American men and women who serve as the credible messengers. Later, as children recognize education's importance, a more diverse speaker-pool _ (e.g. Caucasians) will be utilized to work on the mechanics of schooling. · Note: the initial speakers in each school should reflect the demographics of the students. Our - lead schools are over ninety-five percent African-American, hence our choice. The Impact Seminars approach generates more volunteers than we can process because of the minimal request made of them! �IMPACT SEMINARS for YOUTH The shortage of role-models for many African-American youths is widely recognized. Several programs attempt to address this shortage by seeking adults to volunteer their time, either in repetitive increments or for sizable blocks of time. Unfortunately, not enough volunteers come forth because of the considerable time expected of them. Impact Seminars for Youth offers a different approach. Rather than ask a few to give a lot, we ask hundreds to give only one hour - just once - to speak with one classroom of children. The personal experiences of successful African Americans will provide these children the credible proof that an education is indeed the key to their future. Hundreds of these "seminars" will be facilitated by simply drawing upon the many thousands of successful African Americans living throughout Greater Detroit, which - via the mobility of their success - are all but invisible to the children who have the greatest need for their examples. Much as they may like to, busy professionals have little time to help rectify this situation. However, virtually anyone will find the time to speak for one hour with a classroom of children. Tremendous benefits will result once this message is reinforced nearly ever~ day - in each selected school - by repeated visits from a di ferent professional to a different classroom. All that is required is someone to facilitate these hundreds of seminars. This is the role of Impact Seminars for Youth. Impact Seminars coordinates all the details for each classroom seminar to minimize any burden upon the schools and speakers. We will identify the interested teachers, locate the speakers, and request each speaker to contact the teacher beforehand: 1) to help direct their conversation to the specific classroom. 2) so they may become acquainted, and 3) to schedule their seminar around business commitments. To minimize classroom disruption, no single class is expected to hold more than three or four seminars per year. Although each volunteer is asked to speak only once, repeat engagements are most welcome. Our organization has est-ablished a- mechanism which enables hundreds of African-American professionals to share their personal success story with thousands of Detroit school children - one classroom at a time. Impact Seminars for Youth has written endorsement from the Area F Superintendent of Detroit Public Schools, plus many others. Seminars are now being given at five middle schools on Detroit's eastside, near Conner and Mack Ave. Please help expand our speaker pool by encouraging other men and women, as well as yourself, to contact: Orlando B. Doyle Founder and President (313) 542-3579 Impact Seminars for Youth P. 0. Box 177 Royal Oak, MI 48068 �Techniqnes of Impact Seminar~ fur Youth Some of the techniques found •nos t e f feet i ve: 1. The date and time for each seminar ts arr;tnged directly between the speaker and teacher, usually vla telecon. Hore importantly the speaker and te~cher become acquainted, and the teacher conveys whatever p.li r.t ictila r topics they are attempting to impress upon their '3tudents. The speaker c;tn then underscoce these areas d11r.inr, their i11formal discus~lton with the c las!-3. 2. Upon arrival at the school each speaker. is escorted to the classroom, and wtll then stanrl in the hctl.l-way d11ring classchange. Their simple presence in the h;tll, while chilrlren surge past, make!i them visible to many children Ln the school beyond the thirty students in the one cl::tssroom they visit. 3. Speakers are encouraged to open each cla~s session by sharing personal experiences, especially their- set-backs and the obstacles they overcame. This makes them more rr~achable to the children, and will precipitate their- participation. 4~ Each seminar is meant to he a convecsation (NOT a lecture) focused on the value of education, and the specific topics the teacher is covering. This is NOT, repeat not, a career day, although many student questions do fall into this category. 5. Each speaker leaves a snapshot of themselves witlt the teacher which is then displayed on one central b•tlletin board in the school. Imagine the impacton 6th, 7th and 8th graders of the collection of one or two hundred photos of successful men and women, all of whom have visited their school! 6• Before leaving, the speaker gives each student their business card thus providing a tangible reminder of their visit. These cards have the potential of taking on the status of "baseball cards." We will see ••• 7. Students are required to c r it lqt.ie each s pe:tker - via a personal letter to them giving their thoughts and noting what they learned. The teacher simply collects these letters, and sends them directly to the speaker via a SASE which was left with the teacher. The cumulative effect of the seminacs and these techniques is to raise the awareness among all students, within each school, of the importance of education, and the world of possibllitles beyond the limited view from their neighborhoods. This lncr~ased awareness, we believe, will shift the peer-pressure within each school toward valuing education. �Benefits of Impact Seminars for Youth Some benefits the Impact Seminars concept provides to: students, teachers, and business-people may be readily apparent. However, some of the features are not as obvious. Impact Seminars has four major benefits: 1. Touches virtually ALL of the students in each school served, versus only those "at risk" or "college bound." Exposes each school - everyda~ - to credible role-models, Greatly expands the horizon o virtually every student, Each child sees credible proof for hope in their future. Goal is to shift the peer pressure within each school. 2. Teachers become receptive to having business people in their classrooms, and see - first hand - what they have to offer. Re-validates a teacher's message with their students, Builds relationships with individuals and companies, Involves many teachers in a school versus a select few, Teachers find empathy for their tough role. Administration of the program is transparent to each school's front office. 3. Hundreds of employees in any company will readily join-in, with far reaching consequences: Each speaker comes away with an entirely new awareness of the educational crisis at hand. Personalizes it. Each feels compelled to return and to also involve others. _ Speakers who reflect the ethnic mix of the students have the credibility to grab their attention. Later, a more diverse mix can assist with the educational process. 4. African-centered curriculum's focus on historical contributions is very important. However, living success stories have particular relevance to children, and should also be included. Impact Seminars enables students to regularly hold a personal dialogue with these successful men and women. In addition, this concept establishes grass-roots support for any business/education partnership} first between individuals and perhaps later between the companies and schools. This is achieved via personal connections made between the employees of the business and teachers in the school. Both parties become more aware of the others' views and needs, thus creating an atmosphere receptive to a deeper involvement. It easily builds strong relationships. Orlando B. Doyle, Founder Impact Seminars for Youth, Inc. (313) 542-3579 8-22-92 �Administration within Other Organizations The Impact Seminars concept can readily be incorporated by any organization, and applied within a school they may already serve. This program is easily administered by dividing the work among three people. Each volunteer "administrator" will need to provide only a couple hours per week, with responsibility for one of the tasks outlined for persons No. 1, 2 and 3 below: Person No. 1 Builds a pool of speakers and introduces the concept to each. A thirty minute discussion by No. 1, with each group of speakers, will provide the needed guidance. The key role for No. 1 is to convey the program's philosophy to each new speaker, and to underscore, "This is NOT a career day, but a dialogue focused on the value of education." (I have a two page handout which will help with this "training.") Person No. 2 Visits the one selected school every couple weeks to briefly quiz teachers regarding their latest speaker, and verify their desire for another. The task for No. 2 might be performed by a retired person because of the very flexible "hours." (The school may be visited at a different day or time on any visit.) No. 2 must ensure the school, especially each teacher, remains satisfied. Person No. 3 As No. 2 identifies a teacher is ready for another speaker, No. 3 then mails a notice to a speaker, selected from the pool. Each speaker calls the teacher directly to set their date and time, and then relays this back to No. 3. The chief role for No. 3 is to maintain records of who, went where and when. Hence, No. 3 is the "command center," and should be one who's job usually has them at their desk, to minimize "telephone tag." If requested, I will gladly assist with the initial school presentation and will also provide further details regarding the implementation of these techniques. This concept is very straightforward, and provides an effective means to greatly expand an organization's ongoing efforts within the school. While most easily applied in middle schools (grades 6, 7 and 8), a similar version can be introduced into elementary and high schools (especially grades 9 and 10). I welcome the opportunity for further discussion. Orlando B. Doyle, Founder Impact Seminars for Youth, Inc.

I have heard very favorable comments from principals at the middle schools you have served over the past year, and am eager to provide the same opportunity to our staff and students. I agree with your plan of initially offering this only to our ninth graders, since most of the students - which do drop-out - are lost here, before they reach the tenth grade. This approach, in conjunction with your current efforts at two of the middle schools which feed into Finney, should yield positive results. The first few speakers were very well received by both the students and teachers, and I know my staff looks forward to a full participation during the 1992-93 school year. ~;::ely your , ~1 L. .

It is such a pleasure to see these professionals mingling with our staff and students, sharing their personal as well as professional accomplishments. When these people walk into our building, many students are very inquisitive as to who these well-dressed men and women are. I have to admit, there have been many instances in which I have wondered the same thing. And what is so gratifying is the fact that our students are motivated by them .. I am looking forward to the next school year and I hope that I can arrange to have a speaker once a week. Our kids need to know that a rewarding career is not beyond their reach. Your speakers are definite proof of this. Please give yourself a pat on the back for a job well done. Also, a million thanks to those men and women who have donated their time and expertise so graciously. I commend all of your efforts and . I hope this program leads to bigger and better things.

P .0. Box 177 Royal Oak, Mi 48068 Dear Mr. Doyle, It was an educational pleasure to participate in your program in which young black educated men spoke to my Civics classes several times during 1991. Your program provided the input and the awareness and the interaction that the students so desperately needed. I feel with businesses and the school system working in close proximity in that capacity it has filled a void in many students minds. The students enjoyed and - appreciated what was conveyed to them. It gave them the opportunity to verbal _ly interact with someone other than classroom teachers. These young men conveyed to them the importance of setting high expectations for themselves and the need to continue their education in order to reach the ultimate in society. As for myself, I appreciated their verbal reinforcement of perservance and achievement and success that is conveyed throughout the school year. In closing, the Remus Robinson staff and students applaud your program as an asset that is long overdue and greatly beneficial and needed.

P. 0. Box 177 Royal Oak , MI 48068 September 29, 1992 Ms. Diana Rodriquez Algra, Executive Director Michigan Community Service Commission P. 0. Box 3001 5 Lansing, MI 48909 Dear Ms. Algra: I would be most pleased to accept the invitation of Mrs. Michelle Engler to address the Michigan Community Service Commission. As I mentioned last week, our program has a unique problem - we attract more volunteers than we can process, and we will freely share this concept with anyone expressing an interest. William Raspberry featured our pcogram in his April 1992 column in the Washington Post, and the double-sided speaker flyer expounds on our simple and direct approach. This exciting speaker/role-model concept provides a series of African-American professionals in the classroom of each selected school, all year long. Each speaker holds an informal conversation with the students (termed a seminar), 1) c h allenges them to dream, 2) emphasizes the importance of education, 3) re-validates the teacher's message and 4) each speaker serves as the credible proof a student's dreams can be realized. Our objective is to shift the peer-pressure within each school, one school at a time. Larry Patrick, Chair of Detroit 2000, has given his full support, and his letter notes the concept enabled some 250 men and women to reach 2400 Detroit children via 300 seminars during our first year. Our goal for the 1992-93 school-year is to facilitate 600 seminars. In addition, the concept has been introduced elsewhere via other organizations: just beginning in Highland Park, Flint and Jackson, and may begin soon in other cities. Our approach enables a handful of committed individuals to mobilize a virtual army of volunteers - all wo v en into a cohesive program of great value to children and teachers. The administrative task has been divided into three distinct activities which can be handled by three volunteers for a couple hours per week, e a ch (reference enclosure). I look forward to discussing this further Commission. (')\erJly .CP ~~ .9 199~· Enclosures ~ith members o£ the ~ours,~ ~~~crOrlando B. Doyle .

The concept is very straightforward, yet provides the type of community activity the University encourages among our alumni. My staff will help you bring this to the attention of The Alumni Association's Reunion of Black Graduates committee, as a program worthy of their consideration. It clearly provides an effective process to bring very large numbers of individuals into direct involvement with students. I am always interested in learning what alumni are doing, and I must say you have moved far afield from the BS and MS degrees in nuclear engineering. I commend you for your creativity, and for applying your talents in a much needed area. ~chigan, Robert G. Forman cph Note by: Orlando B.

Box 177 Royal Oak, MI 48068 Dear Orlando: I am most impressed with the Impact Sem i nars for Youth program you have discussed with me. This concept is so simple yet so very powerful. Your appr o ach eliminates many of the obstacles wrestled with in other attempts to bring educators and business people together. I am amazed you were able to reach 2400 students among six schools via 300 seminars given by 250 business men and women - and do so within your first eighteen months of operation. Action on this scale, applied across the more than 250 schools of the District could provide tremendous benefit to students and teachers alike. The Detroit 2000 Project, which I chair, would greatly benefit from your input, and I would like you to share your experience with one or more of the Detroit 2000 committees. I commend you for having the courage to leave a secure, twenty-year career to devote full-time to this undertaking, and do so without financial assistance. I pledge my full personal support to you and this program, for its potential is indeed exciting. Jr. Chair, jdr 5057 Woodward Avenue . Fi rst Floor Conference Center Detroit.

Doyle, Founder Impact Seminars for Youth, Inc. P.O. Box 177, Royal Oak, MI 48068 ( 313) 542-3579 day or evening �Benefits of Impact Seminars for Youth Some benefits the Impact Seminars concept provides to: students, teachers, and business-people may be readily apparent. However, some of the features are not as obvious. Impact Seminars has four major benefits: 1. Touches virtually ALL of the students in each school served, versus only those "at risk" or "college bound." Exposes each school - everydar - to credible role-models, Greatly expands the horizon o virtually every student, Each child sees credible proof for hope in their future. Goal is to shift the peer pressure within each school. 2. Teachers become receptive to having business people in their classrooms, and see - first hand - what they have to offer. Re-validates a teacher's message with their students, Builds relationships with individuals and companies, Involves many teachers in a school versus a select few, Teachers find empathy for their tough role. Administration of the program is transparent to each school's front office. 3. Hundreds of employees in any company will readily join-in, with far reaching consequences: Each speaker comes away with an entirely new awareness of the educational crisis at hand. Personalizes it. Each feels compelled to return and to also involve others. Speakers who reflect the ethnic mix of the students have the credibility to grab their attention. Later, a more diverse mix can assist with the educational process. 4. African-centered curriculum's focus on historical contributions is very important. However, living success stori~s have particular relevance to children, and should also be included. Impact Seminars enables students to regularly hold a personal dialogue with these successful men and women • . In addition, this concept establishes grass-roots support for any business/education partnership, first between individuals and perhaps later between the companies and schools. This is achieved via personal connections made between the employees of the business and teachers in the school. Both parties become more aware of the others' views and needs, thus creating an atmosphere receptive to a deeper involvement. It easily builds strong relationships. Orlando B. Doyle, Founder Impact Seminars for Youth, (313) 542-3579 Inc. 8-22-92 �Overall Objectives of Impact Seminars for Youth, Inc. Five objectives: 1) Bring hope to children in poor urban neighborhoods, and greatly expand their future horizon and options by repeated exposure to credible role-models. Emphasize education's critical role in making them productive citizens. 2) Personally expose thousands of business men and women to the educational crisis. Energizes these speakers, and helps them, and teachers, to recognize the contribution they can make - within the classroom. 3) Builds relationships between teachers and business people which in some cases will produce follow-up activity of a more substantive nature. This pool of committed individuals will be directed to other, existing organizations that have more comprehensive programs established within schools. 4) Shift the student peer-pressure within each school regarding the value of education, via repeated exposure to speakers. 5) Demonstrate the potential of this exciting and powerful concept, and freely share it with other organizations throughout Detroit and across the nation. All five objectives are achieved via daily visits ~nto each selected school ( a different classroom each time ) , by successful African-American men and women who serve as the credible messengers. Later, as children recognize education's importance, a more diverse speaker-pool (i.e. Caucasians) will be utilized to wor k on the mechanics of schooling. �Administration within Other Organizations The Impact Seminars concept can readily be incorporated by any organization, and applied within a school they may already serve. This program is easily administered by dividing the work among three people. Each volunteer "administrator" will need to provide only a couple hours per week, with responsibility for one of the tasks outlined for persons No. 1, 2 and 3 below: Person No. 1 Builds a pool of speakers and introduces the concept to each. A thirty minute discussion by No. 1, with each group of speakers, will provide the needed guidance. The key role for No. 1 is to convey the program's philosophy to each new speaker, and to underscore, "This is NOT a career day, but a dialogue focused on the value of education." (I have a twG page handout which will help with this "training.") Person No. 2 Visits the one selected school every couple weeks to briefly quiz teachers regarding their latest speaker, and verify their desire for another. The task for No. 2 might be performed by a retired person because of the very flexible "hours." (The school may be visited at a different day or time on any visit.) No. 2 must ensure the school, especially each teacher, remains satisfied. Person No. 3 -As No. 2 identifies a teacher is read y for another speaker, No. 3 then mails a notice to a speaker , selected from the pool. Each speaker calls the teacher directly to set their date and time, and then rela y s this back to No. 3. The chief role for No. 3 is to maintain records of who, went where and when. Hence, No. 3 is the "command center," and should be one who's job usually has them at their desk, to minimize "telephone tag." If requested, I will gladly assist with the initial school presentation and will also provi d e further details regarding the implementation of these techniques. This concept is very straightforward, and provide& an effective means to greatly expand an organization's ongoing efforts within the school. While most easily applied in middle schools (grades 6, 7 and 8), a similar version can be introduced into elementary and high schools (especially grades 9 and 10 ) . I welcome the opportunit y for further discussion. Orlando B. Doyle, Founder Impact Seminars for Youth, Inc.

I have heard very favorable comments from principals at the middle schools you have served over the past year, and am eager to provide the same opportunity to our staff and students. I agree with your plan of initially offering this only to our ninth graders, since most of the students - which do drop-out - are lost here, before they reach the tenth grade. This approach, in conjunction with your current efforts at two of the middle schools which feed into Finney, should yield positive results.

It is such a pleasure to see these professionals · mingling with our staff and students, sharing their personal as well as professional accomplishments. When these people walk into our building, many students are very inquisitive as to who these well-dressed men and women are.

I am looking forward to the next school year and I hope that I can arrange to have a speaker once a week. Our kids need to know that a rewarding career is not beyond their reach. Your speakers are definite proof of this. Please give yourself a pat on the back for a job well done. Also, a million thanks to those men and women who have donated their time and expertise so graciously. I commend all of your efforts and I hope this program leads to bigger and better things.

P.O. Box 177 Royal Oak, Mi 48068 Dear Mr. Doyle, It was an educational pleasure to participate in your program in which young black educated men spoke to my Civics classes several times during 1991. Your program provided the input and the awareness and the interaction that the students so desperately needed. I feel with businesses and the school system working in close proximity in that capacity it has filled a void in many students minds. The students enjoyed and - appreciated what was conveyed to them. It gave them the opportunity to verba 1_1 y · interact with someone other than classroom teachers. These young men conveyed to them the importance of setting high expectations for themselves and the need to continue their education in order to reach the ultimate in society. As for myself, I appreciated their verbal reinforcement of perservance and achievement and success that is conveyed throughout the school year. In closing, the Remus Robinson staff and students applaud your program as an asset that is long overdue and greatly beneficial and needed.

Greenville, MI The Montcalm-Ionia Youth Volunteer Corps (YVC) would be a year-round project providing volunteer experiences for 80 youth . Because these counties are rural and comprised of communities with populations less than 9,000, resources are not available in any one community to initiate a youth volunteer project. A Youth Volunteer Corps program would provide direction and leadership for establishing an on-going network for youth service in these rural areas. In its 26th year as a Community Action Agency, EightCAP has developed and operated programs in such areas as summer youth employment, domestic violence, foster grandparents, JTPA, Head Start, home weatherization, and Special Olympics. Staff expertise and community support will help facilitate the development of meaningful service opportunities for YVC participants. Recommended Funding: $19,000 Menominee-Delta-Schoolcraft Community Action Agency Escanaba, MI The main objectives of the Youth Volunteer Corps (YVC) include unlimited opportunities for youth to participate in projects which directly benefit their community. The cities of Escanaba and Gladstone have several major projects in which the YVC will participate. For example, feeding elderly care facility residents, city beautification, and Special Olympics. Expected outcomes include increased intergenerational communication and understanding, direct service to the community, and a supportive atmosphere for youth . The involvement of the schools and the Retired Seniors Volunteer Program (RSVP) will increase public awareness and involvement. The Menominee-Delta-Schoolcraft Community Action Agency is also applying to become a Volunteer Center through the Volunteer Centers of Michigan (VCM). Recommended Funding: $16,000 �United Way of Muskegon County and the Muskegon County Community Foundation Muskegon, MI In its first year, the Muskegon County YVC hopes to involve 200 young people, ages 14 to 18, in guided team community service projects and provide the community with more than 20,000 volunteer hours. The YVC will place teams of youth volunteers, led by trained Team Leaders, in diverse community agencies to provide service which is meaningful to the community and to the participant. Youth volunteers can serve in intensive summer sessions of 4 to 8 weeks and in periodic short-term school year projects. Drawn from the full socio-economic, geographic, and ethnic diversity of Muskegon County, youth volunteers will develop important civic and life skills through exposure to others and by performing needed community service. Recommended Funding: $32,500 Wayne-Metropolitan Community Services Agency Ecorse, MI This project is a collaboration between Wayne-Metropolitan Community Services Agency (WMCSA), the Youth Volunteer Corps of Metropolitan Detroit, and Communities First. The program will be based in the City of Highland Park. Youth will be recruited through various community sources. Every attempt will be made to match participants with service initiatives in their own communities. The scope of the program includes Ecorse, River Rouge, Inkster, Romulus, Taylor, Hamtramck, and Sumpter Township. These cities have been identified as the most economically vulnerable in the Out-Wayne County area. The Out-Wayne County YVC will participate in such programs as neighborhood rehabilitation, working in homeless shelters, soup kitchens, food distribution, and services to senior citizens. The YVC will also coordinate the efforts of the emerging City of Highland Park Teenage City Council and provide services to various city government offices. Recommended Funding: $22,500 Total Recommended Funding: $115,000 Geographic Distribution: • Metropolitan Detroit (Highland Park and Out-Wayne County) • Northeastern Lower Peninsula (Alpena) • Coastal Western Michigan (Muskegon County) • Upper Peninsula (Menominee-Delta-Schoolcraft Counties) • Western Lower Peninsula (Greenville) �31 K ELL 0 G G CENTER MICHIGAN STATE UNIVERSITY EAST LANSING.
