K. Kellogg Foundation provided Youth Service America (YSA) with a grant to facilitate the development of a youth service policy framework in Michigan that emphasized program capacity building through institutional collaboration, networking, and public and private partnerships. The grant envisioned that the policy framework would set the context and direction for the state's application to the National and Community Service Commission for the funding of specific initiatives under the National and Community Service Act of 1990 [NCSA] (Public Law 101-610). 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 an initial two-day planning conference. The conference (agenda attached), hosted by the MCC, brought together over 125 people from across Michigan representing K-12 education, higher education, full-time service and conservation corps, community based organizations, state officials, and young people. The conference served to crystalize interest in youth service, identify important planning issues, and engage program operators and advocates in youth service policy development. Shortly after the conference, First Lady Michelle Engler announced plans for the formation of the Michigan Community Service Commission. In August, the Points of Light Foundation designated Michigan to be one of three states to participate in the pilot Youth Ambassador Program. Interested conference participants attended two subsequent planning meetings in July. The one-day meetings also included some whom were unable attend the June conference. CMF hosted the first meeting and MNF the second. The meetings produced planning recommendations for the new commission (the conference and meetings report is attached). Participants also expressed their interest and commitment to support, advise, and assist the commission in its activities. Since the summer meetings, while the state commission became organized, YSA continued to compile information on service in Michigan and monitored developments with the National and Community Service Commission. The purpose of this report is to recommend a framework for service in Michigan that is both a practical synthesis of ideas developed during the summer meetings and a guide for submitting a federal funding application complementary in interest and emphasis to the national commission's agenda. There are six sections contained in this report The first offers a definition of youth service and a review of the nationally recognized Principles of Best Practice for youth service programs. The next section briefly reviews NCSA and the national commission's most recently expressed views on implementation. The fourth section proposes a vision for service in Michigan. Section five enumerates suggested elements of a comprehensive state plan. The next section presents in detail elements of the plan that could be funded under NCSA. That is followed by a brief conclusion, and the last section contains supporting attachments. �YOUTH SERVICE The key to understanding the flrst principle of youth service is to recognize that youth development and community service are inextricably linked. Youth service creates a synergystic dynamic in which a recipient becomes a provider, a provider becomes a recipient, and each is encouraged to learn from the process. An example of this in practice is a program that places students at risk of failure in the role of tutors for younger students. The validity of the fust principle of youth service has been supported by the success of peer tutoring program models and other service program models. An important practical note regarding the youth service dynamic is the implicit multiplier. In traditional service models the service provided generally stops at the recipient. In the youth service model the recipient becomes a conduit. The at-risk tutor receiving special attention and guidance passes it on to the younger student. This is not only important in looking at impact, but the model also serves as a program organizing device. This is a tactical point that should be considered in a strategic development plan. Youth service programs began developing a national self-consciousness in the mid 1980s. Until then, what is now known as the youth service "field", did not exist. Two Michigan foundations, theW. K. Kellogg Foundation and the Charles Stewart Mott Foundation, have played a crucial role in supporting the youth service field. Their significant investments in youth service have enabled the fleld to grow and organize rapidly. Four general program categories make up the field: K-12, higher education, full-time and summer service and conservation corps, and community-based youth. National and local organizations representing those program categories have agreed upon common principles of practice for programs across the field. The national commission has adopted these principles generally as its standard. The principles of best practice for youth service programs follow the fust principle already discussed. • Both communities and participating young people view service projects as needed by, and of real value to, the community. • Young people are viewed as a vital resource that can help meet pressing human and environmental needs in communities across the country. • Community service is recognized as a powerful form of citizenship education that imbues young people with an ethic of civic responsibility that carries into adulthood. • Projects and programs are carefully structured and require minimum hours of service for a sustained period. Young people are organized into well-planned and well-supervised groups. • A plan for meeting the developmental needs of young participants-- for education, basic skills, employability, leadership, and community commitment-- is integrated into the delivery of service. • Program design includes structured opportunities for reflection on the service experience. �• Program design provides for adequate training of participants and the staff of community agencies and organizations in which participants will serve. • Appropriate incentives and rewards-- such as public recognition, school and college credits, scholarships, stipends, or salaries-- are used to encourage the participation of young people and to emphasize the value the community places upon the service ethic. • Programs undergo rigorous evaluation. • Programs inculcate a sense of community responsibility and citizenship. Young people involved in program design and direction. • Programs and projects respond to local needs, are best planned and administered at the state and local levels, and are an integral part of community and education policy.

A coordinated state application is the commission's preferred paradigm. According to the draft regulations, state applicants, "must submit a Comprehensive Service Plan. The plan should include a description of efforts to achieve the goals of the Act and the regulations. Funding provided under this Act should supplement an applicant's larger strategy for involving individuals in service. Therefore, the description should not be limited to activities that may receive NCSA funds, but should include information regarding the applicant's overall strategy for expanding commitment to service, including activities funded through other Federal, State, local, or private sector funding sources, and those that require no funding ... The plan should also include a description of the interrelationship among programs proposed to be funded under the Act.. States are strongly encouraged to establish a bipartisan and nonpartisan State Advisory Board." The commission recently has indicated that it will emphasize youth and families in its mission statement. States that integrate these themes into their plans will be in a stronger position. The following is the latest fact sheet distributed by the national commission. �C01\1MISSION ON NATIONAL AND COl\11\flJNITY SERVICE SUMMARY The Commission on National and Community Service was created to provide leadership in strengthening the spirit of community involvement for all citizens, especially the young. The Commission's grant program will stimulate a wide array of service initiatives and will encourage community partnerships to address the educational, human service, environmental and public safety needs of the nation. The National and Community Service Act of 1990 (Public Law 101-610, as amended) provides program funds, trainirlg and technical assistance to States and communities to develop and expand service opportunities. The Act is intended to: * * * * * * * * * * Renew the ethic of civic responsibility in the United States Encourage citizens, regardless of age, income or ability, to engage in full-time or part-time service Involve youth in programs that benefit the nation and improve their own lives Enable young adults to make a sustained commitment to service by removing barriers created by high education costs, loan indebtedness and the cost of housing Build on the network of existing federal, state, and local programs and agencies Involve participants in activities that would not otherwise be performed by paid workers Generate additional volunteer service hours to help meet human, educational, environmental and public safety needs, particularly those related to poverty Encourage institutions to volunteer their resources and energies and to encourage service among their members, employees and affiliates Identify successful and promising community service initiatives and disseminate information about them Discover and encourage new leaders PROGRAM Commission funds will be available in four major categories: Serve-Aaerica. This year, $18.9 million is available for programs sponsored by schools or community-based agencies to involve school-aged youth in service to the community. It also supports programs that involve adult volunteers in the schools. Funding is allocated according to a state-level formula. Higher Education Innovative Project• For eo..unity Service. Higher education institutions or public agencies working in partnership with those institutions can be awarded $5.6 million. Funds will support student community service projects or teacher training in service-learning principles and skills. Aaerican Conaervation Corp• and Youth Service Corp• Prograa. Full-time, yearround conservation corps and youth service corps programs that take place in the summer months can receive $22.5 million. These programs must involve teenagers and young adults, who may raceive job and •kill training, living allowances and scholarships. Full-tiae and Part-tiae Haticna1 and Coaaunity SerTice Prograaa. As many as ten states may share $22.5 million in 1992 to engage individuals ages 17 and older in full-time or part-time service. Participants will receive education or housing benefits upon completion of their term of service. I �In addition, the Commission may fund several other types of programs; demonstration projects for rural youth, employer-baaed retiree volunteer programs, Governor's innovative service programs, Peace Corps/VISTA training program, and efforts to match Foster Grandparent programs with Head Start. The types of service activities are broadly defined; participants may perform any educational, human, environmental, or public safety service project that will benefit the community. In general, programs must include the following elements: * * * * * * Appropriate training and supervision of participants Recruitment of economically and educationally disadvantaged individuals and those with disabilities Involvement of participants in meaningful service experiences Learning components that are appropriate to the age of the participants Community partnerships in program planning and delivery Significant impact in achieving the goals of the Act FUNDS AND APPLICATIONS A total of S73m is available to the Commission in fiscal year 1992. In addition to program grants, the Commission will provide training and technical assistance and may fund four regional clearinghouses to give information and assistance to service programs. States may apply to receive funds under any or all of the four major program categories. They are strongly encouraged to establish a state advisory comm i ttee to assist in the development of a comprehensive state service plan and i n the completion of the state applications. This committee should include representatives of state agencies and a variety of local and community-baaed organizations, labor, business, educators, parents, youth and volunteer organizations. Indian Tribes are considered as States under this Act and can submit applications as a State. Under some of the four major categories, if a state declines to submit an application, a local applicant such as a school, college, loca.l government or community-based agency may apply directly to the Commission. These local applicants should contact their governor's office directly for information about the state planning and application process. Some sections of the Act require that applicants provide matching funds. Individual program applications must contain a program description and budget; and assurances that the applicant will comply with the Act (including nondiscrimination provisions and the requirement that participants not be used to displace paid employees), will use federal funds to supplement rather than supplant non-federal funds, and will consult with local labor organizations before placing participants in service positions. �A VISION FOR MICHIGAN A vision or mission statement creates the overarching framework for a Comprehensive State Service Plan. It is the rationale for action and sets the goals for accomplishment. The plan should complement the goals of NCSA while setting priorities unique and important to the state. The priorities should be based on real needs and the plan should draw on the state's real strengths. Ideally the plan should have a four year timeline. This will allow programs and initiatives to develop to the point where their can be assessed on their own merits. A four year plan also shows the national commission that the state is serious about its plan because it extends beyond the current authorized life of the Act Michigan has already begun setting its vision. The Michigan Community Service Commission is a very important development It sets Michigan apart from all but a handful of states. Beyond its existence, the leadership and composition of the Michigan commission reveal qualities that will make for a compelling vision for the state. Before proposing several ideas for a state vision, it is worth reviewing the summary findings of a report from United Community Services of Metropolitan Detroit on community attitudes in Kellogg's Detroit Northern Area Project The summary sets an appropriate tone for a discussion of vision. It found that, "residents of the Kellogg/Northern area expressed a desire to remain and work in their community ... Residents also expressed the need for more community accountability. They feel that the community must begin to solve their own problems rather than relying soley upon government or corporate support. However, residents were aware that apathy has played a major part in impeding the progress of the community... Residents felt that if their community had a strong cultural identity and knowledge of self, that many of the problems they face would be solved... The youth offered some simple solutions to some of the problems they mentioned... they desire and expect support from family and the community as a whole." These statements could apply to any community in Michigan. The Michigan commission should consider a vision that includes: • The state commission establishing itself in the role of catalyst, convener, broker, networker, and promoter for state and local community service activities. • A call for citizens to join together to build stronger, whole communities in which youth can grow and prosper. • A commitment to substantively involve young people in youth service policy and community problem solving. • A commitment to create opportunities for young people to serve in their communities or state from from the age of 5 to 25. • A commitment to build state and community service capacity by strongly encouraging organizational collaboration and joint problem-solving (among both public and private agencies). �• Recognition that government has an essential but not exclusive role to play in community building, and that the model for community building is the formation of real and substantive state and local partnerships among government, business, the philanthropic and nonprofit sectors, and citizens. • A commitment to make youth service the glue in fonning community partnerships and collaborative initiatives. (Youth service, because it is disarming and positive, is an excellent device to begin the process of collaboration. Youth service program development becomes the first step in the state's strategic plan. An effective youth service infastructure will form the base for broader community building activities. Therefore, the Michigan commission might consider broadening its reach in years three and four by, for example, formally absorbing the activities of the Michigan Coalition on Volunteerism.) �ELEMENTS OF THE MICHIGAN PLAN The summer planning meetings identified issues important to a successful Michigan plan and produced recommendations for elements of the state plan. Below is a brief summary, a complete record of the meetings is attached. Important issues to be considered include: • Assuring that programs are built around local community needs and interests. • Establish statewide training capacity in the best practices for youth service programs. • Avoid redundant programs and activities. Build on existing resources and strengths, do not needlessly start from scratch. • Include young people and community program practitioners in policy setting and program design. • Build a comprehensive and coordinated statewide information clearinghouse for programs and organizations that draws on what currently exists within networks. • Involve the business community. • Ensure that there are sufficient rewards, incentives, and recognition. • Ensure diversity of participants, representative of whole the community, in programs. Do not simply target, and therefore isolate, select groups for specific programs. Specific elements of the comprehensive Michigan plan should include: • The commitment of the state commission to identify and coordinate public ind private funding and resources necessary to advance the state plan. Therefore the commission should--• Establish a 'Youth on Boards" program to institutionalize a role for youth in substantive community problem-solving. The first step should be the establishment of a Michigan Youth Advisory Council (MYAC) to work in conjunction with the state commission. MY AC's first task should be to promote and coordinate the "Youth on Boards" program. • Support workforce preparation by promoting positive productive community problem solving roles for all youth across the state. Special attention should be given to directly linking school age service programs and community colleges. Community colleges should be encouraged to include service as a part of their technical skills development programs. • Establish unifying thematic areas for program development and capacity built around areas of program service such as early age intervention, family support, and intergenerational programs. (This provides continuity as well as a connection to the youth and family mission interests of the national commission.) �• Encourage young people to become advocates for service, volunteerism, and civic participation in their communities. • Coordinate program development and capacity building around the strengths and resources of existing programs and organizations such as the Children's Charter, the Youth Volunteer Corps, School Volunteers, Partners in Education, 4H, MCC, VACs, MNF, and CMF. • Establish during the first and second year a pilot City Year model program model from a combination of philanthropic, business, and subtitleD funding. The model would be replicated in one other Michigan community during the third and fourth year. • Establish the governor's Service and Leadership Corps, a two site residential rural summer youth corps program. This would be funded initially under subtitle C with local PIC support. • Support a statewide network of summer community-based and operated youth volunteer corps programs linked in each community to (but not necessarily run by) community colleges and other colleges, volunteer centers, community-based service agencies, and K 12 schools. This would be funded initially under subtitle C with possible local PIC and community foundation support. • Institute a process to unify program research and evaluation by establishing generic standards and objectives across all youth service program areas. The state commission should convene a research and evaluation planning meeting with representatives from Michigan Campus Compact schools, Formative Evaluation Research Associates, other appropriate in-state representatives and research experts in the national youth service field to set a common evaluation framework for the state • Designate and promote the Michigan Campus Compact as the higher education consortium responsible for coordinating the 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 supplement MCC's current venture grants program. These state higher education grants should give special consideration for community college service programs that link skills training, community service, and activities in support of K-12 schools. This would be funded initially under subtitle B, II with a match from local college applicants. • Establish an in-state K-12 service grant program administered by the Michigan State Department of Education, under the coordination and final review of the state commission, to support community service and service learning programs for K-12 age youth. Program design specifications, in addition to those stipulated in the federal regulations, should 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 consistent with the issue themes of the state plan or be developed in coordination with the Michigan Community Volunteer Corps team in the community. Programs should also coordinate and cooperate with other youth service activities in the community (particularly those linked to the state plan) and the local Partners for Education and School Volunteer. This would be funded initially under subtitle B, I with possible local community foundation match. �• Clarify distinction between court-ordered service and community service. The commission should promote a common terminology that does not confuse community service with punishment. • 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 education goals, the commission should encourage the committee to adopt community service and service learning as an important component in the Michigan New American Schools model. • Establish a two tiered youth service awards program to be conducted in conjunction with the national commission's awards program. The first tier award should come from the state commission and be made available to all who serve in organized youth and community service programs. The second tier award should be a governor's award for exemplary service. The state commission also should actively encourage communities to develop and coordinate their own awards. • Promote and facilitate functional partnerships in every applicable community among community foundations, United Ways, and volunteer centers. These partnerships should be organized initially around youth service program design structures. • Establish a statewide Michigan Community Volunteer Corps that places teams of volunteers (a community team minimum would be one full-time, two part-time, and two older Americans) in at least 30 communities to coordinate youth service capacity building, local youth and community service councils, provide technical assistance to schools and youth groups on service, to promote activities in the service theme areas, to establish CF/UW/VAC partnerships, to recruit youth generally, and coordinate the awards program locally. This would be funded under subtitleD with the post service match provided by the community foundation or from other sources identified by community foundation. • Establish state clearinghouse on service and volunteerism drawing on the resources of MCC, CMF, NPF, MSDE, and 4H. The location and funding should be determined by the state commission. • Establish a statewide service training capacity, in coordination with the clearinghouse, combing the resources of the National Youth Leadership Council's Michigan Service Learning Center, the Grand Rapids Directions Center, the state V AC network, MNF, and MCC. Training should be available for educators youth and adult volunteers, Community Volunteer Corps members, state agency representatives. community leaders, and others who are interested. The location should be central with a regional training capacity. Funding should be determined by the state commission. �ELEMENTS OF THE STATE APPLICATION It cannot be overemphasized that each subtitle program of the state application should be integrated with the other program subtitles. Together, they should be presented within the context of a strategic state plan. To assure that this occurs in practice the state commission should maintain oversight and fmal review of each program in the application. Coordination should occur at the state and local levels. This underscores the importance of the Michigan Community Volunteer Corps team. The team will work closely with the commission to ensure that activities and information are coordinated locally. Each team should organize a local community service advisory council that mirrors the activities of the state commission. (These local advisory councils should not duplicate pre-existing community councils. Those groups may only need to have service introduced into their agenda.) The local implementation of the state plan should be linked to the MCVC teams. The other issue of importance is multiplying the program impact. The national commission is interested in seeing the number of technical nonparticipants who are involved in supporting the program as well as the number of people served by the program. SUBTITLE B . I MSDoE should closely coordinate its administration of the grant program with the state commission. The commission should ensure that local schools and community organizations coordinate their program planning. The commission should also ensure that K-12 age programs are linked to existing community programs. Before the grant program begins, MSDoE and the commission should conduct regional training workshops on program design and development for educators and community organization representatives. These trainings should also introduce a collaborative program planning approach, including where necessary the formation of a community service advisory council. Funding-- Match support should come from community grant applicants. SUBTITLE B. II The higher education grant program should be coordinated in the same way as the K-12 program. Before the grant program begins, MCC and the commission should conduct training workshops for college program coordinators and students. Because the national commission is particularly interested in programs generated by college students, MCC and the state commission should work with the state coordinator for the Campus Outreach Opportunity League to involve students in the training workshop. These trainings should also introduce a collaborative program planning approach, emphasizing the establishment of formal links to the community. Higher education grants for research should be linked to the state's coordinated evaluation strategy and guidelines. Funding-- Match support should come from college grant applicants. �SUBTITLE C It is unlikely that the national commission would approve funding for a full-time Michigan corps under this subtitle because of the state's recent budget decisions. However, summer corps provide an excellent opportunity to draw on the benefits of the corps model. The two proposed approaches are interrelated and complementary. The youth volunteer corps model is already in place in three Michigan communities. It is a community-based corps program that involves young people 12-18 years old. Only crew leaders receive a stipend. Using the community yvc model would create a significant multiplier. Funding under the Act would only support crew leaders as program participants. For every crew leader "participant" there would be up to 10 "nonparticipant volunteers." Communities could be selected on the basis of a competitive in-state grant process or through a coordinated state development strategy. Funding-- Because of the relatively modest cost of the program model, the local funding match could come from a variety of sources, including, for instance, the local community foundation Youth Action Program fund. The governor's residential summer Service and Leadership Corps would draw a diversity of young people from across the state for leadership training and conservation service work Two camps formally operated by the Department of Natural Resources are available. The corps would draw young people who had participated in the community yves and train them to be crew leaders. The summer program could also coordinate its activities with the community college technical training programs. Program participants could earn certain credits. The program also could be an ideal transitional experience. For instance, students just missing the completion requirements of the Detroit Compact could be encouraged to participate in the SLC. Funding-- PICs are the best source of match support for this program. PICs generally have been pleased with the residential corps and the model provides an appealing alternative · for some of their youth. SUBTITLED The City Year program model provides the potential for an urban alternative to the residential rural program. While it is not residential, the model would offer an alternative for young people from around the state to serve in an urban setting. Corpsmembers would be recruited not only from within the community but also from around the state. Because of the statewide dimension the program is a logical part of this subtitle. The program development plan would call for the state commission to organize the substantial resources necessary to conduct the program from private resources. Support from the subtitle would cover a planning team of ten full-time MCVC volunteers to coordinate development on-site for the commission. The plan would call for the program to be fully operating in two years so the planning a team could be established in the second community. The MCVC planning and start-up team would be an expanded version of the community teams proposed under this subtitle. �The Michigan Community Volunteer Corps requires that in each community a team operates, a local organization donates space and some resources. The community foundations, along with the United Ways, would help identify the sponsor agency. Funding under this subtitle requires a cash or in-kind post service match. The community foundation would provide or help identify the locally generated match. Alternative post service support for eligible participants could be drawn from the MDSS tuition assistance program. Teams would work in the local community under the overall coordination of the state commission. Team members would receive training through the training center envisioned in the plan. The composition of the team would ideally include a full-time youth volunteer, employed part-time volunteers of young to middle age, and retired volunteers. This balance should provide a broad experience base. CONCLUSION In the field of youth and community service, few states have the combination of benefits that Michigan currently enjoys. Visible and committed state leadership, major foundation commitment and support, and the range of well coordinated program and organization networks position Michigan to become a national model for youth and community service development The vision, energy, and insight of the Michigan Community Service Commission can make it happen. �.-:.. r:· . ~~~~~·.; .~;.\.'. ,:t\:. :/: ..

Below is a summary their recommendations. COMMUNITY BASED ORGANIZATIONS The group representing Community-Based Organizations began their discussion by identifying common goals. They were most interested with developing means for drawing youth into their organizations. They recognized youth service as both a method of youth development and a practical approach for recruiting youth into their organizations. Common Goals: • • • • Design a system that values young people as resources Promote educational development and growth Encourage young people to commit to community service Involve young people in issue areas that concern them Recognize service as part of personal development Identify collaboration links and program resources Expand positive opportunities for young people Recognize the short- and long-term value of youth service The group produced a ten point list for developing opportunities for youth service. The group emphasized the importance of training and state-wide, inter-organizational network development. They also stressed the importance of providing meaningful opportunities for youth to share in this process. There should be a sustained and coordinated connection between youth service programs and broader volunteer efforts. Points for Development: • • • • • • Training programs for adults, youth, and agencies Inter-organizational information networks Youth Ownership Community agency ownership Long-term, broad-based community support Institutionalize youth service Evaluate individual and state-wide programs Volunteer Recognition Criteria for program development Link youth service and other voluntary efforts Limited training, staffing, and funding are seen as challenges to attaining these goals. Young people must also have visible leadership roles .. The task of increasing youth leadership opportunities in these efforts without causing concern among adults in established roles requires careful attention. �Points for Development: • • • • • Joint (MCC/NBA) use and development of resources and programs Create a state-wide youth corps advisory council Involve educators in corps efforts Increase leveraging of JTPA, Vocational Education, CDBG, and Vocational Rehabilitation funds Develop overall (MCC/NBA) coordination Identify a spokesperson for youth service Explore the feasibility of a state-wide youth service corporation Create a bipartisan state commission with representatives from corporations, corps, community-based organizations, foundations, youth, labor, and state agencies Involve the private sector in funding, personnel, training, and mentoring Improve private sector local support Additional Points: • Ensure that the definition of service includes corps programs Explore broad collaborations based on more than those suggested in the National and Community Service Act. HIGHER EDUCATION Representatives from colleges and universities drew up a list of important points that will advance service in their institutions. Youth community service should be fully integrated into all aspects of campus life. Colleges and universities should increase their collaboration with other organizations that are involved in youth service. Special emphasis should be made in linking campuses to the communities around them. Training workshops and community service programs on all campuses throughout the state are also priorities. Points for Development: • • • • • • • • Push for a Governor's comprehensive youth service plan Promote an integrated service curriculum Promote service research Promote collaborative programs with K-12, teacher training, community activities, and youth leadership Create new service approaches such as: College student corps programs Involving non-traditional students Internships Develop active programs on all Michigan campuses Use college students in building other programs Institutionalize service learning in the university structure YOl.ITH INVOLVEMENT The youth attending the conference came up with three broad categories of interest: service opportunities, quality and quantity of programs, and ways to instill a lifetime ethic of service. �COLLABORATION CAUCUS GROUP DISCUSSIONS On the second day conference participants were divided into four inter-interest groups to collaborativly explore future directions for youth service in Michigan. The recommendations of the four groups shared similar themes. Therefore the summary combines group reports into three thematic categories: diversity, youth leadership, and educational issues. DIVERSITY Youth service programs should emphasize diverse participation. Diversity should reflect gender, age, culture, race, and class. Intergenerational and mentoring programs are important models with which to connect. The caucus groups indicated that young people, Native Americans, youth service program operators, and people from northern communities and Detroit should have greater representation in future youth service activities. Increase Participation of: • • Youth, including at-risk Metro Detroit Northern Communities Native American communities Youth service program operators Consider Linking: lntergenerational projects Mentoring programs Joint projects (Higher Ed. and K-12) Collaborative community action councils YOUTH LEADERSHIP Community agencies must develop and display trust in young people. Community organizations and schools should be encouraged to take risks and try new things to involve young people. Public relations campaigns to highlight positive contributions of youth service can improve perceptions about the value of youth contributions to the community. Agencies should create development tracks for young people to grow into positions responsibility. Young people should be involved in program planning. Youth should be allowed to share in program ownership by contributing to projects from inception through implementation. Youth involvement should not be limited to established youth leaders. Youth service can develop new leaders among young people. Enhancing Community Agency-youth Relations: • • • Give project operators and schools room to try new things Create a broad range of opportunities for youth Promote youth accomplishments Establish local advisory groups to ensure projects meet local needs �COLLABORATION CAUCUS RECOMMENDATIONS SHORT-TERM The most imponant step for Michigan take at this time is the formation of an advisory committee to determine the state's plan for applying for federal funds available through the National and Community Service Act of 1990. The committee should decide on goals and draft a comprehensive proposal for the federal funding. The committee should seek reaction from various organizations and individuals before submitting the application and continue to seek the advice and counsel of program practitioners in future initiatives. Goals of steering committee: • • Review notes from conference Draft proposal of state-wide youth service plan Circulate proposal to various groups Draft final plan for federal funds and long-term strategy Conference participants expressed concern that steering committee membership should be diverse based on age, geography, and program background. Young people should be included. An appropriate size for the group should be 15 people. The committee should be a working committee. Lansing is an appropriate central meeting location. Committee membership: • • • Should be 15 Must be include people of various backgrounds The committee should be a working Must be include young people Groups and individuals should be encouraged to form local coalitions in their communities. Information from the conference should be shared with non-participants. Activities outside the Committee: • Formation of local coalitions Spreading of information to conference non-participants YSA will Disseminate follow-up materials to all participants LONG-TERM Although the conference participants could not anticipate the results of the federal funding process, they began formulating long-term goals for the state's youth community service initiative. The steering committee should evolve into a bipartisan, state task force with responsibility of coordinating technical suppon for all programs throughout the state. Assistance necessary includes state-wide training and networking conferences for youth and agencies, �THE FIRST FOLLOW-UP PLANNING MEETING July 15, 1991 at the Holiday Inn, Lansing, Michigan Hosted by the Council of Michigan Foundations On July 15, 1991 the Council of Michigan Foundations hosted a day-long meeting in Lansing for self-selected participants of the June 10-11 conference and additional interested parties to continue planning for the Michigan youth service initiative. Dorothy Johnson, the President of the Council of Michigan Foundations welcomed participants and called the meeting to order. Ms. Johnson and members of her staff including Kathy Agard and Jim McHale were joined by representatives of the meeting's co-sponsoring organizations: Diana Algra, Executive Director of the Michigan Campus Compact; Maryellen Lewis, Executive Director of the Michigan NonProfit Forum; Roberta Stanley, Executive Assistant Superintendent for State and Federal Relations, Michigan Department of Education; and Frank Dirks, Field Organizer for Youth Service America. The special guest for the meeting was Michelle Engler, the First Lady of Michigan. Ms. Engler was accompanied by Stephanie Comai-Page, Social Welfare Policy Advisor from the Governor's Office. Maura Wolfe, Youth Engaged in Service Coordinator for the Points of Light Foundation also attended the meeting. After Ms. Johnson's opening remarks, Ms. Engler outlined the state's response since the June Conference. • Governor Engler will appoint a commission on youth service. • Michelle Engler will chair the commission. • The commission will develop Michigan's funding application to the National and Community Service Commission. • Michigan's commission will focus on youth service. • The commission will be housed, at least initially, in the Executive Office of the Governor. • The commission should be appointed by mid-August. • Projections of size range from 15 to 21 commission members. • The commission will be representative of the diversity of the state. • The commission will have an indefinite term. It will be created by executive order and can only be ended with an executive order. • Initially, commission members will have staggered terms- 1/3 for 1 year, 1/3 for 2 years, and 1/3 for three years. Ultimately, membership will be three years. • Meeting participants should submit nominations for commission members to Stephanie Comai-Page. The Governor's Office has already collecting names. • Young people will be represented on the commission. • Provisions are being made to staff the commission. The Governor's Office is also seeking names for the position of Executive Director for the commission. • The participants of this and the June meeting will serve as an informal advisory group for the commission. Following Ms. Engler's comments the co-sponsors offered some remarks. �The group reviewed the basic themes drawn from the June conference. • • • • Promote collaboration. Build program capacity. Ensure program sustainability beyond support through the Act. Draw on the strength and experience of existing programs and organizations. • Consider new and alternative program and organizational approaches and arrangements. • Promote program and participant diversity. The group then reviewed issues of particular interest to the National Commission that should be addressed in a state application. • The plan should be comprehensive. • The plan should promote and support program and organizational collaboration. • The plan should be sustainable. • Funding drawn from the Act must supplement not supplant current . state funding for programs targeted in the plan. The group recessed for lunch. The luncheon speaker was Maura Wolfe, of the Point of Light Foundation. She provided an overview of the Foundation's activities and introduced the Youth Ambassador program. The Points of Light Foundation efforts to promote and encourage volunteerism across the generations include: • National advertising campaigns. • Coordinating and mobilizing existing resources including corporate leaders to promote volunteerism. • Identifying effective programs disseminating information about them. One of the administrative divisions at the Foundation is called Youth Engaged in Service (YES). YES is about to launch a major new program to promote youth service, the YES Youth Ambassadors. The program will be piloted for one year in three states beginning in September 1991. Michigan is being considered as one of the three states. Below is a summary of the program. • The goals are to connect people, build coalitions, and share information at state, regional and national levels. • Two young people will be serve as full-time state liaison/organizers for the Foundation. • They will be assigned to work for a lead state agency/organization, such as the Governor's new commission. • They will host a minimum of two Points of Light Action Forums to inform state groups about youth service. • They will actively work to involve youth in service. • They will help to organize a data bank of services and resources. • They will be trained by Points of Light in Washington. • They need to be on the job by September. �Develop incentives and rewards for local collaboration. Volunteer Action Centers can play important roles by serving as information clearinghouses, providing student mini-grant, and coordinating new project development. Funding must flow directly to local levels. Require collaboration in mini-grant requests at the local level. Consider developing a competitive grant process. Guidelines need to be shared on principles of good practice with the service organizations. Make volunteerism more accessible for "at risk" youth and families. Set up mechanisms for local communities to solve problems on their own. Ensure that people from the grass-roots can contribute to the planning process. Ensure that students, teachers, and agencies can contribute. Create a state service and conservation corps advisory committee. Creatively use and involve the 4-H and community college systems. Look at the strengths and weakness of the Minnesota model. Learn what happened with the state volunteer clearinghouse under Gov. Miliken. Develop a centralized data system with direct local access and satellite local data systems. Create incentives that emphasize the value and importance of service and volunteerism. Teach volunteers to develop a volunteer portfolio of experiences. Include corporations as a strategy for long term planning. K-12/corps/service relationships. YOUTH EMPOWERMENT Use the resources of groups like those represented in this room to survey young people across the state on how grant request should be structured and use those responses in the application. Establish local community panels that include youth to assess local projects and service opportunities. Train organizations in the development and implementation of volunteer programs to make them "volunteer friendly". Need to be "youth friendly". Involve Youth at-risk �-inter-organizational youth collaboration At the state level the following could be possible: -clearinghouse of collaborative projects -training of community educators and agencies -linking community projects with schools (corps/schools connected) -model job descriptions record keeping/evaluation of programs Need for intergenerational programming Incentives: -Scholarships -Work The group was left with the following tasks for the next meeting. • • • • Review the draft report from June 10 and 11. Review minutes of July 15. Review the Act summary. Come to the next meeting prepared to answer the following questions: - What principles should guide the state commission's planning? - What should be the measurable outcomes? - What should be the organizational structure of the state commission? - What resources could your organization contribute to the initiative? �• • • • • • • Long term effect Diversity of participants and agencies, and services provided. Leadership roles taken by youth. Extent of business partnerships. Retention of youth in programs. Sustainability of programs. Level of youth involvement in program planning and decisionmaking • The structure, intent, and practice of youth advisory councils. • The level and quality of local community agency support. What should be the commission's development plan and the process for fund distribution? • Grant applications should demonstrate- the buy-in of local partners, youth involvement in planning process, and should include expected outcomes, an operating plan, and a monitoring system. The grant review process should be inclusive and measure against the items above. • Use funding to support the formation of a program development infrastructure. Match existing resources. Local programs should be responsible for sustainability. • Support regional clearinghouses that promote the development of local coalitions and provide technical assistance and support that: - trains youth for service opportunities. - trains agencies to provide quality service experiences. - trains coalitions to raise funds to become self-supporting. • Utilize existing networks. Do not create a new bureaucracy. • The Governor's Commission should determine the criteria for grant proposals and selection. The Governor Romney, Janet Blanchard, Michelle Engler co-chaired Coordinating Committee on Vol-untarism should have an equal role in selecting local grantees. Local grantees should demonstrate the implementation of a local inter-agency committee on youth initiatives and the role of young people in the design and implementation of the local program. What are resources your organization or network will contribute towards the success of the Michigan youth service plan? Staff Expertise in: Program development Statewide program implementation and operation Administration Sub-granting Experience with past and present highly successful programs Information dissemination Access to student volunteers Limited Staff Support Expertise on and access to resource materials �OUTCOMES There is very little research on the effect of service on youth development. Building a research base for youth service should be integrated into the plan. Research will help advance the initiative and guide new program development. Head Start research has influenced policy development. A sampling of suggested measures: Continued volunteer service. Service impact on the community. Attitude changes among youth servers and community members. Leadership roles taken by youth servers. Level of community agency involvement. Measures must look at the effect on servers and the community served. Use research to educate funding sources and win their support. Consider a "human service unit" formula, for instance, how many older Americans are served. Consider measures for the type of service provided. Enlist an independent evaluator to assess state-wide initiative. Establish an easy, yet uniform, reporting mechanism in order to build a comprehensive database. Link this to the independent evaluator. Include service benefits for youth: employability, group process skills, education goals. Link to national education goals. Research should not drive projects. Overall outcomes: community awareness, willingness to continue project, increased local funds for youth service programs.

Members of the Commission are asked to declare actual or potential conflict of interest situations at the start of each meeting where the agenda indicates such a conflict will occur. If a conflict of interest situation develops during Commission discussion, the commissioner with the conflict is expected to notify the Chairperson. Conflicts of interest include situations where a member of the Commission serves as a Trustee, Board member, staff member, or committee member of an entity which is requesting approval of a grant from the Michigan Community Service Commission. Or any other relationship which the Commissioner, in his/her own discretion deems a conflict of interest. 2. Any members of the Commission with a conflict will be called on by the Chairperson to discuss details and share any information about the proposed grant at the time of the individual grant request discussion. The Commission member will then be excused by the Chairperson while other members of the Commission discuss the application and vote its acceptance or denial. Following action on the grant request, the Commissioner may return to the Commission work. 3. Michigan Community Service Commission members who are unsure about a conflict of interest situation should discuss their concerns with the Chairperson prior to the meeting where the conflict might occur. In general, the Michigan Community Service Commission wants to err on the side of too stringently enforcing conflict of interest policies in order to assure that both the fact and the perception of any unethical conduct is avoided. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

On November 16, 1990 it was signed into law by the President. To accommodate certain constitutional objections raised by th~ President, the act was amended by P . L. 102-10 and signed into law on March 25, 1991 . A compromise among the Senate, House and Administration the Act was designed to strengthen the American ethic of community service and to help translate this ethic into meaningful action. Under the Act, state and local governments, schools, colleges and nonprofit organizations are eligible to receive funding for full and part time service programs . In the following pages an outline of the Act has been provided. The Act also created the Commission on National Community Service to administer the Act. The Commission was appointed on July 22, 1991. The National Commission met for the first time on September 25, 1991. A second Commission meeting was held on October 20 & 21, 1991. The Commission expects to provide $73 million to eligible service programs in fiscal year 1991, including $22.5 million for school and community based youth and college programs, $22.5 million for youth corps, and $22.5 million for state sponsored full and part time service programs, with $5. 5 million yet to be allocated. Draft regulations regarding the appropriation of funds are expected to be released in mid November. A final draft of the regulations are expected to be ready by mid January of 1992. Applications for the funds will be due shortly after this time. 1 �AN OVERVIEW COMMUNITY SERVICE LEGISLATION A new l egislation and private initiat ives offer a broad r an ge of service opportunities for Amer i can citizens, wi th pri ority on youth and older adults as volunteers.

ANALYSIS The next section questions: I 1 1 1 I analyzes the legislation answering these What is the overall intent? What funding is available? How can organizations receive funds? What types of programs can be funded? What special requirements or priorities must be included in the programs? 3 �ACLOSER LOOK NATIONAL AND COMMUNITY SERVICE ACT TITLE I NATIONAL AND COMMUNITY SERVICE STATE GRANT PROGRAM Intent. This grant program is designed to expand oppcrtuni ties for citizens in their communi t i es , with priority given to involving youth and older Americans. serv1c e spec i a l Funding. $54 million is authorized for FY 1991 for the state gran t program. States are required to provide a 10% match in FY 1 9 91 , a 20% match in FY 1992, and a 30% match in FY 1993. States may apply to the Commission on National service to fund an y or all of the programs authorized in the legislation. If states do not apply for funds, then local agencies may apply directly to th e National Commission for funding of certain program. These ar e identified in the description that follow. Program. Programs created under this Title represent a continuum o f service opportunities for youth, college students and young adults , and older Americans. The programs include school-based and community partnerships, college service programs, and full- an d part-time human service and conservation corps. SCHOOL-AGED SERVICE FOR STUDENTS AND OUT-OF-SCHOOL YOUTH Intent. The goal of this program is to provide all young people with an opportunity to serve their community, whether they are students or have dropped out of school. The legislation also encourages adults to become more involved as volunteers in schools. Funding. A total of $16.5 million is authorized for this program and the higher education program (a description of this program follows). The Commission on National Service will decide what portion of the funds will be available to states for the schoolaged service program. Funds for this program will be administered by the state departme~t of education and are allocated to states based on one of two criteria: 1) if the annual appropriation is less than S20 million, then states apply directly to the Commission for funding on a competitive basis; or 2) if the appropriation is more than $20 million, then the funds are allocated to states according to a formula. If states do not offer school-aged service programs and do not apply to the National Commission for funding, then local agencies may apply directly to the Commission for local program support. 4 �Funds may be used to pay for the supervision of participants, program administration, training, transportation, insurance, and reimbursement for the out-of-pocket expenses of participants. Program. Programs and activities that may be funded under this section are: 1 State planning and capacitv building. States may use 10% of the funds received under this section to improve the ability of their agencies and communities to deliver volunteer service programs. Funding can be used for training , design of service-learning curriculum, research and evaluation, and outreach and dissemination of information. These activities can be delivered by the state department of education or by contract to other agencies. I School-based service learning programs. At least 60% of a state's grant under this section must provide assistance to local applicants for the implementation, operation, or expansion of school-based service learning programs. servicelearning programs must: • Provide students with an opportunity to learn and develop through active participation in thoughtfully organized service experiences that meet actual community needs and that are coordinated in collaboration with the school and community; • Be integrated into the students' academic curriculum and provide structured time for a student to think, talk or write about what the student did or saw during the service activity; • Equip students to use newly acquired skills and knowledge in real-life situations in their own communities; and • Enhance what is taught in school by extending student learning beyond the classroom and into the community and to help foster the developm~nt of a sense of caring for others. Grants are available to partnerships of local educational agencies and community organizations. The partnerships must include a nonprofit organization and may include a for-profit business. 5 �I Community service Programs targeted to out-of-sch o o l yout h. These funds are earmarked for you~g people who fall outsi d e the school system, using positive service experiences a s incentives to get them back into school. At least 15% of a state grant must be used to fund these communi ty -bas ed programs for youth. Partners must be public or pri v a t e nonprofit organizations that will make service opportun i t ies available. Schools and for-profit businesses can be involv e d in the program. I School-based adult volunteer and partnership prooram. Not more than 10% of these funds are earmarked for programs t h a t involve adult volunteers within the school system , especial ly those that include a partnership with a business group a nd benefit disadvantaged youth . Educational agencies must be involved in the partnership . Other partners can be public or organizations or for-profit businesses. private nonprofi t Requirements. Eligible programs must meet specific criteri a outlined in the legislation. Many of the requirements reflec t "principles of good practice" identified by practitioners an d academicians in the fields of education, youth development , community development and voluntarism (refer to the program section, pgs. 25-26). For example, priority will be given t o school-based service learning and community service programs tha t involve participants in the program design, target low-income yout h and involve students from diverse backgrounds, are integrated into the academic program, and focus on substance abuse or school dropout prevention. With regard to adult volunteer programs , priority will be given to applications that involve older Americans or parents as volunteers; include business as a partner; and focus on substance abuse and school dropout prevention, nutrition education, or the improvement of basic skills and reduction of illiteracy. Also, programs must explain how local partnerships will be developed, the extent to which disadvantaged children receive services, and the training and supervisory elements of the program. HIGHER EDUCATION INNOVATIVE PROJECTS FOR COHHUNITY SERVICE Intent. The purpose of this program is to encourage the involvement of young people in community service during their college years. 6 �Funding. There is no separate appropriation for the Higher Education Innovative Projects. Funds for these projects are part of the allocation for the school-aged service programs. The exact amount available for this program will be determined by the National Commission on Service. Application for funding are made directly to the National Commission and applicants must demonstrate either an in-kind or cash match equal to 50% of the grant. Program. The range of activities that may be funded is broad , including community service projects designed by students, service integrated into the college curriculum, and training for teacher s and other community leaders on how to design and implement service programs. Program applicants may be either higher education institutions or public and private nonprofit organizations working in partnership with higher education institutions. FULL-TIME YOUT.ff SERVICE CORPS Intent. This program encourages the expansion of full-time or summer youth human service or conservation corps for young adults ( 15-25 years of age). Corps programs are comprehensive and meet participants' educational, social, and employment needs. Funding. The FY 1991 authorization is $16.5 million . States and several federal agencies (including the Secretary of Agriculture, the Secretary of the Interior, and the Director of ACTION ) are eligible to apply for grants from the Commission. If a· state does not apply for funding, local agencies may apply directly to the Commission. federal funds may not exceed 75% of the total program costs. Program. Full-time youth corps programs provide involve young people, ages 16-25 a living allowance and training and education services. The summer programs are limited to youth 15-21 years of age. Priority in both programs is given to indi victuals without high school diplomas and disadvantaged youth. The legislation encourages the development of youth corps to perform a variety of activities. Conservation corps undertake such projects as: the conservation and rehabilitation of wildlife, parks and recreation areas; tree planting in rural and urban areas; road and trail maintenance; emergency relief for natural disasters; energy conservation; and improving access to public facilities for persons with disabilities. Human service corps activities include work in governmental agencies, nursing homes, senior citizen centers, child care centers, schools, and nonprofit social service agencies. Of particular importance are projects that improve public facilities, provide literacy training to the economically disadvantaged, teach drug and alcohol use awareness, and address issues of poverty. 7 �Funds are provided for pre-service, in-service, and post-service training and educational opportunities. Programs may anroll a limited number of participants who would otherwise not be eligible to participate, but who possess unique skills related to the projects of the corps. These people may include older Americans. Programs may use 2% of the funds to conduct joint programs with senior citizen's organization to serve as mentors for corps members. NATIONAL AND COMMUNITY SERVICE Intent. This section of the legislation authorizes demonstration projects that provide service opportunities for adults (17 years of age and over) who do not meet the eligibility requirements of the human service/conservation corps programs, specifically employed adults and college-bound youth. There is a special· emphasis on involving order Americans in volunteer service. Funding. The FY 1991 authorization for this program $16.8 million. States must apply to the National Commission for funding. The application may be part of a single grant request under the National and Community Service Act of 1990. The states must pay $2,500 for full-time and $1,000 for part-time participants, an amount which will be matched by the National Commission. In FY 1991, only eight states will be eligible to receive funding for demonstration projects. Program. Participants will perform services that meet either educational, human, environmental, or public safety needs, especially those related to poverty. States may limit the type of service to a particular category of need, consistent with state priorities. There are three options for state programs, which may be administered through grants or contracts to public or private nonprofit organizations (at least two of the states receiving funding must include all three types of programs): 1 Full-time. Participants perform community service for either one or two years, serving not less than 40 hours per week. They must have a high school diploma or agree to achieve the equivalent during the service period. They will receive a living wage stipend and a post-service benefit of $5,000 per year of service, with half paid by the Commission and half by the state. The benefit must be used to pay for student loans, education, or training. 1 Part-time. Participants perform community service for not less than three years, serving two weekends each month and two weeks during the year. Priority is given to applicants who are currently employed. A post-service benefit of $2,000 is paid annually, half from the Commission and half from the state. The benefit must be used for a first home, or payment of student loans or tuition for postsecondary education. 8 �I Special Senior Service. Participants over 60 years of age may in demonstration service projects. If volunteering full-time, they are eligible for the living wage stipend; if part-time, volunteers may receive a pro-rated stipend. These volunteers are not eligible for the postservice benefit. ~articipate INNOVATIVE AND DE}10NSTRATION PROGRAMS AND PROJECTS Intent. This section of the legislation expands volunteer activities beyond the school and community-based partnerships , full- and part-time service corps, and national demonstrati on projects. Model programs are also created that serve Peace Srops and VISTA volunteers, youth living in rural communities , an d retired persons. Funding. Congress created but did not authorize funding for t hese special programs. I~ the event that funding becomes available , the Commission on National Service will award the grants. Program. Program legislation are: areas created under this section of the I Governor' Innovative Service Programs. States may apply for grants to develop demonstration projects, conduct research, and provide technical assistance, training, and staff development to expand service programs. I Peace Corps. The Commission may make grants to the of the Peace Corps or ACTION to fund the last two undergraduate study for fifty college students. In for the education benefit, the students serve three Peace Corps or VISTA volunteers. I Additional volunteer programs. The Commission may provide funding for a variety of model service programs involving youth in rural communities, connecting foster grandparents with Head Start programs, and developing employer-based retiree volunteer programs. TITLE II director years of exchange years as MODIFICATION OF EXISTING PROGRAMS Intent. This Title creates "Youthbuild," a program that involves young people in the rehabilitation of housing or community facilities. In addition, this Title requires the federal government to actively publicize a student loan deferment program for college graduates involved in community service. Funding. In FY 1991, $1 million is authorized for the federal ACTION agency to expand Youthbuild. There is no funding authorized for the education campaign to promote the student loan deferment. 9 �• Program. Youthbuild provides disadvantaged young adults with opportunities to meet the needs of the homeless and low-income families while acquiring valuable job skills. Youth participants rehabilitate housing for the homeless or community facilities that provide health, education, and social services for low-income people. Participants must be between 16-24 years of age, have dropped out of school, and have reading and mathematics skills below the 8th grade level. Full-time participants serve between 6 and 18 months and receive a living wage stipend. Program. Peace Corps and VISTA volunteers are able to defer payments or student loans while they are participating in the service program. Although a similar provision applies to certain college graduates working in a nonprofit organization, very few students take advantage of the program because it is not widely publicized. The legislation requires the Department of Education to publicize the deferment to students and college financial aid offices. Nonprofit organizations may receive the information by contacting local college financial aid offices. TITLE III POINTS OF LIGHT FOUNDATION Intent. the legislation fulfills the President's commitment to expanding volunteer service activities by creating a private quasigovernmental foundation. The Points of Light Foundation will work with the White House Office of National Service. Funding. The FY 1991, $5 million was authorized for the Points o: Light Foundation. Program. The Foundation will serve as a catalyst to expand the public commitment to voluntarism through increased media coverage and by connecting the private sector to specific initiatives. 10 �KEY POLICY ISSUES There are several key policy issues t hat program spons o rs a nd policy leaders must address in order to de ve lo p strong collaborative proposals. These are leaders hi p , program pri orit i es , and f unding . In this section, key i ssues are identified that mus t be cons i dered in the development of serv i ce programs . STATE LEADERSHIP Very few states ha ve experience in supporti ng statew i de volunteer service initiat i ves . Less than twelve states current ly fund service programs . In those states where volunteer service i s a priority , support from the governor, legislature , and top a ge ncy officials have been key. The involvement of communit y-base d organizations have also been crucial. Their participation has allowed states to develop more comprehensive programs that resp ond to community needs and involve large numbers of volunteers . Role of state ~overnment . The federal legislation allows states to submit a single application to the National Commission for fund i ng of the school-based programs, full- and part-time service corps , and national demonstration projects. If states do not submit a n application, then the legislation allows local agencies to appl y directly to the Commission for funding . Since funding for the programs is very limited, many states may not respond to th e initiative. State aoolication for federal funds. If they apply for the federal funding, governors must designate the state agency or agencies responsible for submitting the application for funds . The legislation allows, but does not require states to submit a "single" state application for funding . This provision allows a variety of state agencies to submit requests for the various programs. In fact, the legislation requires funding for schoolaged children to be administered by the state department of education, but it does not require the department of education to administer the other programs. In Pennsylvania, where the key official responsible for volunteer service is the secretary of labor and industry, the state program is oriented toward a full-time youth corps . If no single agency is designated to develop the comprehensive plan, then coordination will be a key issue. In developing the application, the following criteria need to be considered in the state strategy: 11 �I Support for a continuum of service that invites partic i pat i on by people of all ages. I Recognition of the role of community-based organ i zation, as experts in working with volunteers and providers of servi ces . I Integration of service as a response to critica l state a nd community needs. I Involvement of young volunteers. people, older Americans , and act i ve Note: Applications for the college-based program must be ma C..e directly to the National Commission. Most of these applicati ons will be made by institutions of higher education, althoug h community-based agencies may also apply for funding. Colle ge programs should complement the overall strategy, resulting in a coherent system allowing young people to volunteer at any age. Coordination and consultation with interested parties. The legislation encourages states to appoint a state advisor y committee. If a state advisory committee is designated, the n membership on the committee should be broad and diverse. In addition, strong state application will depend on the involvemen t of all key payers in both designing the application and deliverin g the programs. Enhancing private ini tia ti ves. State strategies shculd invol ve leaders from programs funded through private initiatives. Stat e plans should complement these efforts by enhancing but no t duplicating these programs. COMMUNITY LEADERSHIP Leadership for the creation of service program must be developed a t the community level. The strength of the state applications for funding will rely on the ability of communities to involve a large number of people and organizations in the planning process, develop a service strategy that reflects a continuum of service opportunities for people of all ages, and maximize public and private funds from the local, state, and national levels. Developing local programs -- apolrinq to the state for funding . Local communities will need to work with the state agency or agencies responsible for submitting the application to the National Commission for federal funds. The success of community plans will depend on the participation of agencies which have a track record in the development of volunteer and yo uth development programs. The most competitive proposals will be those that demonstrate collaboration among agencies, and those that coordinate services and programs for children, youth, and older adults . .12 �Coordination and consultation. The federal legislation requires communities to form local advisory commi~tees in order to receive funding for the school- and community-based programs. The advisory committee must include representatives of community-based agencies , those receiving service, youth serving agencies, youth, parents, teachers, school administrators, agencies that serve older adults, school board members, labor, and business. The role of the committee could be expanded to provide leadership on the development of programs in response to the other initiatives. PROGRAM AND FUNDING PRIORITIES States and communities will need to identify priorit:es programs and funding as service initiatives are developed . federal legislation gives broad discretion to the states identify priorities. A key issue for states will be whether operate programs statewide and manage the limited funds at state level or target the funds to community-based programs. for The to to the Program strategies. The federal legislation does not mandate program priorities, however the National Commission is required to give priority to school- and community-based programs that focus on substance abuse or school dropout prevention. Therefore, states could target the federal funds toward programs that respond to pressing state priori ties. For example, states may view the service initiatives as part of an effort to increase the effectiveness of public education. Others may choose to target the service funds toward "youth at-risk" programs that combine service with job skill development and employment training. Funding strategies. States and communities will receive funding for the private initiatives directly from the sponsoring agencies. With regard to the federal funding, the legislation does not stipulate how funds will be spent at the local level. States may follow a competitive bid process and conceivably could fund very few projects; or states could decide to operate statewide programs that don' t target the funds to the communities but respond to statewide priorities. 13 �NATIONAL RESOURCE AND COLLABORATION ORGANIZATION ACTION 1100 Vermont Ave. NW Washington, DC 20525 202-634-9135 Jean Burkhardt, Consultant 709A W. 25th Street Minneapolis, MN 55405 612-870-7338 Campus Compact 25 George St., Box 1975 Providence, RI 02912 401-863-1119 Campus Outreach Opportunity League (COOL) 386 McNeal Hall, University of Minnesota St. Paul, MN 55108-1011 612-624-3018 The Congressional Award 6520 Georgetown Pike McLean, VA 22101 703-761-6150 703-761-6154 (fax) Council of Chief State School Officers 400 North Capitol NW, Suite 379 Washington, DC 20001 202-393-8159 Federal Student Aid Program P.O.

COMMUNITY BASED ORGANIZATIONS The group representing Community-Based Organizations began their discussion by identifying common goals. They were most interested with developing means for drawing youth into their organizations. They recognized youth service as both a method of youth development and a practical approach for recruiting youth into their organizations. Common Goals: • • • • • • • • Design a system that values young people as resources Promote educational development and growth Encourage young people to commit to community service Involve young people in issue areas that concern them Recognize service as pan of personal development Identify collaboration links and program resources Expand positive opportunities for young people Recognize the shon- and long-term value of youth service The group produced a ten point list for developing opponunities for youth service. The group emphasized the imponance of training and state-wide, inter-organizational network development They also stressed the imponance of providing meaningful opponunities for youth to share in this process. There should be a sustained and coordinated connection between youth service programs and broader volunteer efforts. Points for DevelQpment: • • • • • • • • • • Training programs for adults, youth, and agencies Inter-organizational information networks Youth Ownership Community agency ownership Long-tcrnl, broad-based community suppon Instirutionalize youth service Evalua~e individual and state-wide programs Voluntecl' Recognition Criteria for program development Link youth service and other voluntary efforts Limited training, staffing, and funding are seen as challenges to attaining these goals. Young people must also have visible leadership roles.. The task of increasing youth leadership opportunities in these effons without causing concern among adults in established roles requires careful attention. �Challenges: • • • • • • Limited training resources Limited staff Creating youth ownership Turf issues Limited funding Involving youth who are not students K-12 EDUCATION This group looked at ways of institutionalizing service in the schools. Common Goals: • • • Service opportunities in every middle and high school Service integrated into the curriculum Service as an important consideration for college admission Each local school program should be allowed to develop according to its owns needs. However, all schools should participate in the public promotion of youth service, emphasize multi-cultural programming, and establish formal evaluation processes. Workshops and conferences should be conducted for youth and agency contacts. Transportation assistance and liability coverage issues require further consideration. Points for Development: • • • • • • • • Create local ownership by principals, counselors, teachers and students Promote model programs Emphasize multi-cultural programs Develop means for qualitative program evaluation Conduct workshops for schools and agencies on collaborative youth service program development State conferences for young people involved in community service programs Develop a transportation infastructure Establish a standard policy for volunteer liability SERVICE AND CONSERVATION CORPS This group concentrated on new directions for corps programs. Sustained funding is a major concern. 'The group recommended that a bipartisan swe commission on youth service explore creative funding strategies drawing on public and private resources. Future program viability will also depend on strong local community support, including the private sector. Youth service needs greater recognition; a leader and spokesperson to carry the youth service message across the state. On a more philosophical level. the definition of youth service must be inclusive. �Points for Development: • • • • • • • • • • Joint (MCC/NBA) use and development of resources and programs Create a state-wide youth corps advisory council Involve educators in corps efforts Increase leveraging of JTPA, Vocational Education, CDBG, and Vocational Rehabilitation funds Develop overall (MCCINBA) coordination Identify a spokesperson for youth service Explore the feasibility of a state-wide youth service corporation Create a bipartisan state commission with representatives from corporations, corps, community-based organizations, foundations, youth, labor, and state agencies Involve the private sector in funding, personnel, training, and mentoring Improve private sector local suppon Additional Points: • • Ensure that the definition of service includes corps programs Explore broad collaborations based on more than those suggested in the National and Community Service Act HIGHER EDUCATION Representatives from colleges and universities drew up a list of imponant points that will advance service in their instirutions. Youth community service should be fully integrated into all aspects of campus life. Colleges and universities should increase their collaboration with other organizations that are involved in youth service. Special emphasis should be made in linking campuses to the communities around them. Training workshops and community service programs on all campuses throughout the state are also priorities. Points for Develm>ment: • • • • • • • • Push for a Governor's comprehensive youth service plan Promote an integrated service cmriculum Promote service research Promote collaborative programs with K-12, teacher training, community activities, and youth leadership Create new service approaches such as: College srudent corps programs Involving non-traditional srudents Internships Develop active programs on all Michigan campuses Use college students in building other programs Instirutionalize service learning in the university structure YQU1H INYOL YEMENI The youth attending the conference came up with three broad categories of interest: service opponunities. quality and quantity of programs, and ways to instill a lifetime ethic of service. �Organizations should work collaborativly to establish regional and state networks and clearinghouses to assist in spreading information. Increased youth involvement in policy development and implementation would allow young people to feel a sense of ownership in their programs. Greater participant diversity will improve the educational value of programs. Common Goals: • • • • • Create a state-wide Volunteer Clearinghouse Agency that would promote: Infonnation and dissemination on youth service Program networking Volunteer recognition Local and regional clearinghouses State and community coalition building Youth involvement in policy development and implementation Diversity of participants Service and Conservation Corps, school-based, mentoring, and community-based programs should be expanded. Broader training opportunities and common quality standards for all programs are imponant. Points for Development: • • • • • • • Expand service and conservation corps programs Improve school based programs: Integrate service into the curriculum Train school coordinators aware of service opportunities Strengthen community-based programs Develop collaborative models among community-based programs, service corps, and school programs Develop mentoring programs: Students as mentors Peer to peer relationships Link service reflection to learning about relevant social issues Broadly implement quality standards accepted by the youth service field The development of a lifetime ethic of service is an overarching goal. The importance of youth service, for the community and young people should be demonstrated by recognizing achievement, forgiving and/or deferring student loans, and promoting career opponunities in the non-profit, public service sector. PromorinK a Lifetime Commitment: • • • • A wards and recognition Loan forgiveness and deferral for students involved Evaluation and reflection which allow young people to understand the significance of their actions Encouragement of youth to enter careers in the non-profit and public service sector. �COLLABORATION CAUCUS GROUP DISCUSSIONS On the second day conference participants were divided into four inter-interest groups to collaborativly explore future directions for youth service in Michigan. The recommendations of the four groups shared similar themes. Therefore the summary combines group repons into three thematic categories: diversity, youth leadership, and educational issues. DIVERSITY Youth service programs should emphasize diverse participation. Diversity should reflect gender, age, culture, race, and class. Intergenerational and mentoring programs are important models with which to connect. The caucus groups indicated that young people, Native Americans, youth service program operators, and people from northern communities and Detroit should have greater representation in future youth service activities. Increase Participation of: • • • • • Youth, including at-risk Metro Detroit Northern Communities Native American communities Youth service program operators Consider Linkin&: • • • • Intergenerational projects Mentoring programs Joint projects (Higher Ed. and K-12) Collaborative community action councils YOUTH LEADERSHIP Community agencies must develop and display ttust in young people. Community organizations and schools should be encouraged to take risks and try new things to involve young people. Public relations campaigns to highlight positive contributions of youth service can improve perceptions about the value of youth contributions to the community. Agencies shouJd create development tracks for young people to grow into positions responsibility. Young people should be involved in program planning. Youth should be allowed to share in program ownership by contributing to projects from inception through implementation. Youth involvement should not be limited to established youth leaders. Youth service can develop new leaders among young people. Enhancin& Community A&ency-youth Relations: • • • • Give project operators and schools room to try new things Create a broad range of opponunities for youth Promote youth accomplishments Establish local advisory groups to ensure projects meet local needs �• Develop roles for young people that allow them to grow in responsibility Advancine Youth Leadership Opportunities: • • • • Young people should be seen as resources Young people need to be able to advance issues and ideas of interest to them Development of Youth Action Councils Establishment of regular youth conferences and workshops Mini-grants to fund innovative ideas Use service as an opponunity to develop new youth leaders EDUCATIONAL ISSUES A important goal of youth service is to teach civic responsibility. The concept of service needs to be expanded to include various types of programs. Service must become a part of the curriculum. Goals: • • • Instilling civic responsibility as goal of youth service should be emphasized in all service reflection activities Use service to enhance the teaching of values Expand the definition of service to allow all communities to participate Points for DevelQpment: • • Expand to view of educators to include the world outside the classroom Integrate service into the curriculum �COLLABORATION CAUCUS RECOMMENDATIONS SHORT-TERM The most important step for Michigan take at this time is the formation of an advisory committee to determine the state's plan for applying for federal funds available through the National and Community Service Act of 1990. The committee should decide on goals and draft a comprehensive proposal for the federal funding. The committee should seek reaction from various organizations and individuals before submitting the application and continue to seek the advice and counsel of program practitioners in future initiatives. Goals of steerin~ committee: • • • • Review notes from conference Draft proposal of state-wide youth service plan Circulate proposal to various groups Draft final plan for federal funds and long-term strategy Conference participants expressed concern that steering committee membership should be diverse ba~ed on age, geography, and program background. Young people should be included An appropriate size for the group should be 15 people. The committee should be a working committee. Lansing is an appropriate central meeting location. Committee membership: • • • • Should be 15 Must be include people of various backgrounds The committee should be a working Must be include young people Groups and individuals should be encouraged to fonn local coalitions in their communities. Information from the conference should be shared with non-participants. Activities outside the Committee: • • • Formation of local coalitions Spreading of information to conference non-participants YSA will Disseminate follow-up materials to all participants LONG-TERM Although the conference participants could not anticipate the results of the federal funding process, they began formulating long-term goals for the state's youth community service initiative. The steering committee should evolve into a bipartisan, state task force with responsibility of coordinating technical support for all programs throughout the state. Assistance necessary includes state-wide training and networking conferences for youth and agencies, �a research group to develop new programs, legislation to limit volunteer liability, the creation of a mini-grant program to fund innovative projects, a coordinated public relations campaign to share success stories, and the implementation of a quality control efforts. Diversity of programs and participants should be increased whenever possible. Participation of young people in planning should continue. Long-term goals: • • • • • • • • • Formation of a bipartisan Task Force Conferences for youth and agency representatives to provide training and networking Passage of volunteer liability legislation Creation of a mini-grant program Beginning of public relations activities Creation of a newsletter for agencies Development of a quality control program for individual and state-wide programs Diversity of opportunities-a program for everyone Youth involvement in planning and implementation �THE FIRST FOLLOW-UP PLANNING MEETING July 15, 1991 at the Holiday Inn, Lansing, Michigan Hosted by the Council of Michigan Foundations On July 15, 199 1 the Council of Michigan Foundations hosted a day-long meeting in Lansing for self-selected panicipants of the June 10-11 conference and additional interested parties to continue planning for the Michigan youth service initiative. Dorothy Johnson, the President of the Council of Michigan Foundations welcomed panicipants and called the meeting to order. Ms. Johnson and members of her staff including Kathy Agard and Jim McHale were joined by representatives of the meeting's co-sponsoring organizations: Diana Algra, Executive Director of the Michigan Campus Compact; Maryellen Lewis, Executive Director of the Michigan NonProfit Forum; Roberta Stanley, Executive Assistant Superintendent for State and Federal Relations, Michigan Department of Education; and Frank Dirks, Field Organizer for Youth Service America. · The special guest for the meeting was Michelle Engler, the First Lady of Michigan. Ms. Engler was accompanied by Stephanie Comai-Page, Social Welfare Policy Advisor from the Governor's Office. Maura Wolfe, Youth Engaged in Service Coordinator for the Points of Light Foundation also attended the meeting. After Ms. Johnson's opening remarks, Ms. Engler outlined the state's response since the June Conference. • Governor Engler will appoint a commission on youth service. • Michelle Engler will chair the commission. • The commission will develop Michigan's funding application to the National and Community Service Commission. • Michigan's commission will focus on youth service. • The commission will be housed, at least initially, in the Executive Office of the Governor. • The commission should be appointed by mid-August. • Projections of size range from 15 to 21 commission members. • The commission will be representative of the diversity of the state. • The commission will have an indefinite term. It will be created by executive order and can only be ended with an executive order. • Initially, commission members will have staggered tenns- 1/3 for 1 year, 1/3 for 2 y~ and 1/3 for three years. Ultimately, membership will be three years. • Meeting participants should submit nominations for commission members to Stephanie Comai-Page. The Governors Office has already collecting names. • Young people will be represented on the commission. • Provisions are being made to staff the commission. The Governor's Office is also seeking names for the position of Executive Director for the commission. • The participants of this and the June meeting will serve as an informal advisory group for the commission. Following Ms. Engler's comments the co-sponsors offered some remarks. �Robena Stanley • The State Board of Education is interested in youth service. • The State Board is holding a conference in September on related issues. • Michigan's congressional delegation is imponant to the future of federal funding suppon for and implementation of this initiative. The delegation in Washington needs to become aware of the state's increasing interest in youth service. DianaAlgra • Service is important issue for college and university presidents in Michigan. • Program parmerships linking colleges and communities are will be valuable to promote. Maryellen Lewis • The Forum is disseminating infonnation throughout its network. Frank Dirks (Mr. Dirks served as facilitator for the rest of the meeting.) • The task of this planning meeting is to begin to formulate a series of recommendations for the state commission to consider for the state plan. The planning tirneline will be very short. • The appointment of the state commission advances Michigan to a strong position among the states developing youth service plans. • The White House is supposed to submit National Commission nominees to the Senate for confirmation before the August recess. • State applications could be due as early as early October. • YSA anticipates a carry-over ofFY '91 funds that have not been spent • The federal legislation provides the context for this discussion but should not be a limiting factor. The development of a statewide youth service plan is the right thing to do whether or not there is federal funding. • The National Commission will have 21 mem~rs serving 3 year terms. Initially. tenns will be staggered. The Secretaries of Education, Health and Human Services. Labor, and Agriculture, and the Director of AcnON will serve as ex-officio members. • This group should continue to advise the new state commission and serve as a broader pool of program technical resources. The group reviewed and discussed the funded titles in the National and Community Service Act and the status of other state development efforts. Infonnation related to this review is reflected in the appendix. �The group reviewed the basic themes drawn from the June conference. • • • • Promote collaboration. Build program capacity. Ensure program sustainability beyond suppon through the Act. Draw on the strength and experience of existing programs and organizations. • Consider new and alternative program and organizational approaches and arrangements. • Promote program and participant diversity. The group then reviewed issues of particular interest to the National Conunission that should be addressed in a state application. • The plan should be comprehensive. • The plan should promote and suppon program and organizational collaboration. • The plan should be sustainable. • Funding drawn from the Act must supplement not supplant current . state funding for programs targeted in the plan. The group recessed for lunch. The luncheon speaker was Maura Wolfe, of the Point of Light Foundation. She provided an overview of the Foundation's activities and introduced the Youth Ambassador program. The Points of Light Foundation efforts to promote and encourage volunteerism across the generations include: • National advertising campaigns. • Coordinating and mobilizing existing resources including corporate leaders to promote volunteerism. • Identifying effective programs disseminating information about them. One of the administrative divisions at the Foundation is called Youth Engaged in Service (YES). YES is about to launch a major new program to promote youth service, the YES Youth Ambassadors. The program will be piloted for one year in three states beginning in September 1991. Michigan is being considered as one of the three states. Below is a summary of the program. • 1be goals are to connect people, build coalitions, and share informacion at state, regional and national levels. • Two young people will be serve as full-time state liaison/organizers for the Foundation. • They will be assigned to work for a lead state agency/organization, such as the Governor's new commission. • They will host a minimum of two Points of Light Action Forums to inform state groups about youth service. • They will actively work to involve youth in service. • They will help to organize a data bank of services and resources. • They will be trained by Points of Light in Washington. • They need to be on the job by September. �• They should reflect diverse youth panicipation. • Points of Light is looking at Michigan as a model of state development • The state organization/agency to which the ambassadors are assigned must: -Provide them with office space, -Provide direction and guidance for works plans and activities. -Make a one-year commionent to the program. -Provide assistance in "opening doors ". The group re-convened after lunch to continue discussion of considerations imponant to a state plan. These considerations can be broken into four broad categories- the process for and structure of the youth service initiative in Michigan; youth empowerment through program and process design; education and training for program practitioners and policymakers; and best approaches for program design. A summary of issues raised and recommendations made in each of these categories follows. · PROCESS/STRUCTURE Can the state commission members represent organizations that will want to be funding recipients? How will this potential question of conflict of interest be handled? Ensure that the state process encourages local groups to build coalitions in order to pursue funding through local initiatives. The term "community service" carries connotation of alternative service for adjudicated violators of law. The language needs to be clarified. Emphasize family involvement .. many students need family members to provide transportation... youth service can be a way of involving families in volunteerism. Ensure that the efforts developed through the initiative creates a "seamless" state youth service structure. Local neighborhood service activities are preferred among young people because of transponarion concerns, time barriers, and the reward that comes from seeing the result of efforts in your own neighborhood. Programs and projects should come from the community rather than being imposed from the top. Longevity is dependent upon this ownership. Labor union involvement is imponant Youth service must not be seen as a way of supplanting jobs. Representatives of organized labor need to be a part of the process. What is the goal of the Act- youth development or community development? The federal support should be used to jump-start sustainable programs/projects. Include Michigan's many resources for long-term planning and support. Don't just rely on the federal money. �Develop incentives and rewards for local collaboration. Volunteer Action Centers can play important roles by serving as information clearinghouses, providing student mini-grant, and coordinating new project development. Funding must flow directly to local levels. Require collaboration in mini-grant requests at the local level. Consider developing a competitive grant process. Guidelines need to be shared on principles of good practice with the service organizations. Make volunteerism more accessible for "at risk" youth and families. Set up mechanisms for local communities to solve problems on their own. Ensure that people from the grass-roots can contribute to the planning process. Ensure that students, teachers, and agencies can contribute. Create a state service and conservation corps advisory committee. Creatively use and involve the 4-H and community college systems. Look at the strengths and weakness of the Minnesota model. Learn what happened with the state volunteer clearinghouse under Gov. Miliken. Develop a centralized data system with direct local access and satellite local data systems. Create incentives that emphasize the value and importance of service and volunteerism Teach volunteers to develop a volunteer portfolio of experiences. Include corporations as a strategy for long term planning. K-12/corps/service relationships. YOUTH EMPOWERMENT Use the resources of groups like those represented in this room to survey young people across the state on how grant request should be structured and use those responses in the application. Establish local community panels that include youth to assess local projects and service opportunities. Train organizations in the development and implementation of volunteer programs to make them "volunteer friendly". Need to be "youth friendly". Involve Youth at-risk �• Impvrtant to allow youth to participate in problem and solution identification. The youth perspective important. EDUCATION/TRAINING Special efforts must be made with MEA and other unions to assure that the schools are welcoming to youth volunteers, youth service curriculums and education. Be sure to recognize and answer concerns about job potenital displacement. Education and training should be a theme including opportunities for youth reflection and civic responsibility. Youth volunteer jobs should have an educational component. Make sure we have peer-tutoring/counseling links For practitioners at the state level we need: -training for management of volunteers -educators -program operators Intermediate school districts could be an excellent source for teacher training/service learning curriculum Higher education mini-grants for: Service/Learning curriculum Teacher Training May need some training re: -process for applying for funds -regional team training -volunteer program steps- "how tos" -applying for money Technical assistance/experts Mentoring/parmerships PROGRAM DESIGN The quality of experience is important -Students should not be used for meaningless work -Jobs should have learning potential -reflection/potential component should be included -evaluation must be built into process -provision of a variety of experiences -clearinghouse for volunteers -youth empowerment and involvement important Neighborhood efforts/local- "hard services" need to see the product Over arching issues: -K-12 training -remember 5-6 million dollars available �-inter-c~ganizational youth collaboration At the state level the following could be possible: -clearinghouse of collaborative projects -training of community educators and agencies -linking community projects with schools (corps/schools connected) -model job descriptions record keeping/evaluation of programs Need for intergenerational programming Incentives: -Scholarships -Work The group was left with the following tasks for the next meeting. • • • • Review the draft repon from June 10 and 11. Review minutes of July 15. Review the Act summary. Come to the next meeting prepared to answer the following questions: - What principles should guide the state commission's planning? - What should be the measurable outcomes? - What should be the organizational structu:re of the state commission? - What resources could your organization contribute to the initiative? �THE SECOND FOLLOW-UP PLANNING MEETING July 31, 1991 at the Kellogg Center, East Lansing, Michigan Hosted by the Michigan Nonprofit Forum On the afternoon of July 31, 1991, Maryellen Lewis of the Michigan Nonprofit Forum hosted a second planning meeting at the Kellogg Center on the campus of Michigan State University. Ms. Lewis was joined by representatives of the meeting's co-sponsoring organizations: Kathy Agard, Program Director for the Council of Michigan Foundations; Diana Algra, Executive Director of the Michigan Campus Compact; Robena Stanley, Executive Assistant Superintendent for State and Federal Relations, Michigan Depamnent of Education; and Frank Dirks, Field Organizer for Youth Service America. Stephanie Comai-Page, representing the Governor's Office was also in attendance. Participants had been asked in a memo sent to them prior to the meeting to record their responses to the questions posed at the end of the July, 15 meeting. The following in a summary of the questions and the written answers that were submitted. What are principles you believe should guide the Governor's Commission to create a youth service plan for Michigan? • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • Build upon success while encouraging innovation. Consider the benefits for participants and the state. Quality is more important than quantity. Include all sectors in planning and programming. Involve young people in planning. Ensure that youth are members of the commission. Encourageinnovation. Consider a variety of programs from a variety of areas. Ensure geographic representation. Link to existing business and education partnerships. Give special attention to urban areas. Ensure local community suppon and ownership. Promote outcome driven efforts. Maintain realistic expectations of financial and human requirements and availability. Address real community needs. Institutionalize new programs and expand established programs. Ensure that youth service experiences are meaningful for youth. Give priority to actual projects over clearinghouse models. Collaboration must be defined as involving community residents, not just community agencies. Maintain consistent and broadly disseminated standards for program practice. Involve youth in community partnerships. What are measurable outcomes that should be specified for a successful local collaboration for youth community service under the Michigan youth service plan? • • • • • Project progress. Impact on participants. Value of work accomplished. Number of persons effectively served. Program efficiency. �• • • • • • • Long term effect. Diversity of participants and agencies, and services provided. Leadership roles taken by youth. Extent of business partnerships. Retention of youth in programs. Sustainability of programs. Level of youth involvement in program planning and decisionmaking • The scructure, intent, and practice of youth advisory councils. • The level and quality of local community agency support. What should be the commission's development plan and the process for fund distribution? • Grant applications should demonstrate- the buy-in of local partners, youth involvement in planning process, and should include expected outcomes, an operating plan, and a monitoring system. The grant review process should be inclusive and measure against the items above. • Use funding to support the formation of a program development infrastructure. Match existing resources. Local programs should be responsible for sustainability. • Support regional clearinghouses that promote the development of local coalitions and provide technical assistance and support that: - trains youth for service opportunities. - trains agencies to provide quality service experiences. - trains coalitions to raise funds to become self-supporting. • Utilize existing networks. Do not create a new bureaucracy. • The Governor's Commission should determine the criteria for grant proposals and selection. The Governor Romney, Janet Blanchard, Michelle Engler co-chaired Coordinating Committee on Voluntarism should have an equal role in selecting local grantees. Local grantees should demonstrate the implementation of a local inter-agency committee on youth initiatives and the role of young people in the design and implementation of~ local program. What are resowces your organization or network will contribute towards the success of the Michigan youth service plan? Staff Expertise in: Program development Statewide program implementation and operation Administration Sub-granting Experience with past and present highly successful programs Information dissemination Access to student volunteers Limited Staff Support Expertise on and access to resource materials �Information on colb.~ration models Video tape and handbook/guide may be reproduced and distributed Programmatic statistics and information may be shared Grantsmanship expenise Technical assistance to communities wishing to develop youth action councils Identification of local individuals and organizations The above questions served to frame the group discussion. Frank Dirks, of Youth Service America served as facilitator. Listed below is a summary of the points raised during the discussion. GUIDING PRINCIPLES Use existing systems, build on strength while encouraging innovation. Involve youth at all levels. Respond flexibility to local circumstances. Involve local coalitions. Applications should be judged on a point system where points are earned for each type of collaboration Youth Educators Business and private industry councils Seniors Handicapped Churches Collaboration requires community residents not just community agencies. Expand from existing programs. Outcomes should be based on community needs assessment Broadly target "at risk" youth by giving additional points to those proposals. Involve those served in the planning and evaluation process. Make the process easy to understand and accessible. Make it easy for youth inpul Ensure that suppon is not exclusively directed toward strong and well established programs. Mixture merit and potential. Suppon sustainable programs. Maintain a long-range plan. Emphasize quality over quantity. �OUTCOMES There is very little research on the effect of service on youth development. Building a research base for youth service should be integrated into the plan. Research will help advance the initiative and guide new program development. Head Start research has influenced policy development. A sampling of suggested measures: Continued volunteer service. Service impact on the community. Attitude changes among youth servers and community members. Leadership roles taken by youth servers. Level of community agency involvement Measures must look at the effect on servers and the community served. Use research to educate funding sources and win their support Consider a "human service unit" served. formul~ for instance, how many older Americans are Consider measures for the type of service provided. Enlist an independent evaluator to assess state-wide initiative. Establish an easy, yet uniform, reporting mechanism in order to build a comprehensive database. Link this to the independent evaluator. Include service benefits for youth: employability, group process skills, education goals. Link to national education goals. Research should not drive projects. Overall outcomes: community awareness, willingness to continue project, increased local funds for youth service programs. · RESOURCES TO BE SHARED Council of Michigan Foundations - Community and funding resource information and training.

Establish different categories for grants. Some grants should be large enough to provide significant support. Do not allow a term like "mini-grants" to define the program. Some grants should not be mini. Support noc only sustainable programs but also specific projects that may have a limited duration. �Consider funding networks to support program development Look at how local projects fits into larger strategic plan-- they relate to the long-term goals of the initiative. Involve youth in aJI elements of the initiative. PARTICIPANTS July 31. 1991 Donna Clarke Michelle Strasz C.J.

He expressed his strong support of this initiative and wished the Commission well in its upcoming work. He stressed that coordination of services on a statewide basis was very-important to him and that he would look to the Commission for suggestions on how this could be accomplished. �2. Call to Order The meeting was called to order by Chairperson Michelle Engler. Mrs. Engler provided the members with a brief history of how we came to establish a commission on community Service. The initial thrust came from the signing of the National Community Service Legislation by the President. Once that took place, Youth Service America (YSA) approached a number of key organizations in Michigan to suggest the formation of a statewide coalitions to prepare the ground work for the development of a statewide plan. Thereafter, three meetings were held in the summer of 1991 where representatives of K-12, Higher Education, Community Based Organizations and Youth Corps and youth came together to begin dialogue of youth service programs across Michigan. By the time of the second meeting in July 199 1, the Governor was committed to the formation of a statewide commission on Community Service. This commission would be designated the lead agency in coordinating the effort to develop a statewide youth service policy. The summer meetings also produced preliminary recommendations for the Commission to consider in developing a statewide youth service plan. These can be found in your notebook. Mr. Frank Dirks of Youth Service America will be joining us at our November 22, 1991 meeting to review this with us in more depth. 3. Introduction of Commissioners The Chairperson, Mrs. Engler requested that each member of the Commission do a self-introduction. Each member introduced him or herself and shared some personal background on themselves and their interest in the field of service. 4. Briefin~ on the National Le~islation The Chairperson also informed the Commission that four major departments will serve as government liaisons to the Commission. These are Department of Education (DOE), Department of Labor (DOL), Department of Social Services (DSS), and the Department of Management & Budget, Office of the Services to the Aging (DMB I OSA). 2 �Each representative of these departments will attend the Commission meetings, and serve as resources to the Commission as the need arises. Diana Algra then provided the Commission with a general overview of the National Legislation. Noting that until regulations are finally out, some changes could still occur. The National and Community Service Act of 1990 is divided into the following titles: TITLE I THE NATIONAL AND COMMUNITY SERVICE STATE GRANT PROGRAM • SubtitleA States apply to the Commission on National and Community Service to fund one or some combination of the following program options in one consolidated application. Local applicants must seek funding from the state. If a state does not apply, local applicants may apply directly to the Commission for funding. • Subtitle B: School-Aged Service (a) Part I- School and Communities -Based Programs for Students and Out of School YouthPrograms and activities that might be funded under this section are: 1.

Funding Level- 1992 is at $5.6 million. • Subtitle C: Full-time and Summer Youth Service and Conservation Corps. Such programs offer full-time productive work with visible community benefits in a natural resource or human service setting and give participants a mix of work experience, basic and life skills, education, training and support service. Funding Level - 1991 is at $22.5 million. • Subtitle D: National and Community Service Full/Part-time Programs. These are to be civilian service programs that can address unmet educational, human service, environmental service, or public safety needs in a community.

Part I - Limitation on Grants: the Commission shall make grants for not fewer than three programs authorized in this subtitle. Programs under this section can cover the following: Part II - Governor Innovative Service Program: E.g. conduct research, provide technical assistance training and staff development to expand service programs. 4 �Part III - Peace Corps/VISTA Demonstration Program Commission can and may provide grants to PEACE CORPS or ACTION to fund 2 years of undergraduate study for 50 college students. They must, however, serve 3 years as a PEACE CORPS or VISTA volunteer. Part IV- Other Volunteer Programs: 1. Rural Youth Service Demonstration Project. 2. Foster Grandparents in Head Start programs. 3. Employer-based retiree volunteer programs. Funding Level - 1992 has not been determined at the present time. At our next meeting we also hope to have a representative of the Govemor's Washington office attend our meeting and assist us in a more in-depth review of the legislation. 5. Update on the National Commission and Federal Grant Time Line. The Chairperson outlined for the Commission the following tentative time lines regarding the funding. • Mid-November 1991 -Preliminary regulations out with a 30-45 day comment period. • January 1, 1992 -Final guidelines for states to begin their process. • Mid-January 1992 -State must declare its intent to seek funds. • Mid-March 1992 -Deadline for state application to National Commission. • May 1, 1992- Awards announced. Again, these are tentative. The Chairperson did encourage all the members of the Commission to take the opportunity to comment on the regulations once they were available. 5 �Commissioner Williams requested that copies of the regulations be made available to all the members and also encouraged some guidance from staff with regard to issues that could be addressed or raised, in order that the Commission would comment with a united voice. Commissioner Orosz was in agreement with the above request. Trabian Shorters suggested that the review of concerns with specific guidelines would be an agenda item for the next Commission meeting. 6. Review of Commissioner Briefing Notebooks The Executive Director walked the Commissioners through the various sections of their briefmg notebooks. 7. Discussion of Goals and ObJectives of the Commission. Chairperson Engler emphasized that we would not deal in-depth with development of goals at this meeting. However, by the next meeting the staff would draft proposed goals and objectives for the Commission to look at and use as a basis for the development of our goals and objectives. Commissioner Orosz addressed the concern of how to convey the message that the Commission is not interested in replacing or taking over those programs already in existence and doing excellent work. Diana Algra responded by saying that all of the participants in our summer meeting would be informed of the creation of the Commission and its members, and that the Commission would help to strengthen the work already being done by many of the participants. Chairperson Engler discussed meeting dates, times of the meeting and the issue of having alternate representatives and proxies. After much discussion, it was decided that the Commission staff will prepare draft operating procedures for the Commission which will outline issues of quorum, meeting dates and absentees. A motion was made that the Commission wait until the next meeting to approve procedures. All Commissioners approved the meeting dates except for the April, 1992 date. All Commission meetings will be held in the mornings beginning in January 1992. The motion was seconded by Paul Hubbard and passed unanimously. 6 �The chairperson mentioned that the Commission would appreciate having Commission members offer to host Commission meetings at a location other than the Olds Plaza building in Lansing. At that point, Usa Ilitch Murray offered to host a meeting at the Fox Theater, Dr. Orosz at the Kellogg Foundation and Dr. DiBiaggio at either MSU Kellogg Center or the Troy Management Center. Discussion then turned to proposed working subcommittees for the Commission. Chairperson Engler suggested the following ones for consideration: 1. 2. 3. 4. Community Partnership Corporate Involvement Philanthropic Involvement Outreach Network The Commission members felt it might be premature to establish any subcommittees at the current time. Commissioner DiBiaggio suggested that we wait until our state plan is developed and then consider what needs we have before we develop subcommittees. All present agreed. 8. Introduction of Youth Engaged in Service Ambassadors. Cynthia Scherer and Trabian Shorters. The Ambassadors introduced themselves and outlined their goals and objectives. Trabian then introduced Mr. Chuck Supple from the Points of Light Foundation. Mr. Supple talked about the Youth Engaged in Services Program and the YES Ambassadors in Michigan. Mr. Supple outlined that the Points of Light Foundation's mission is to help make direct and consequential community service aimed at serious social problems central to the life of every American and to increase the opportunities people have for that kind of service through their workplaces, schools, houses of worship and civic organizations. The foundation also serves as a catalyst in the creation of new voluntary service initiatives. He also stated that the Ambassador Program is a pilot program and that the youth ambassadors are a resource to their host organization (Michigan Community Service Commission) and should be called upon to assist the Commission in its initiatives. 7 �9. Next Meetln~ The Chairperson adjourned the meeting at 2:00p.m. It was announced that the next meeting would be held November 22, 1991 from 1:00- 4:00p.m in the Olds Plaza Building in the Governor's Cabinet Room. An agenda and other meeting details will follow. A motion was made, seconded and approved to adjourn the meeting at 2:00 p.m. 8 � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Members of the Commission are asked to declare actual or potential conflict of interest situations at the start of each meeting where the agenda indicates such a conflict will occur. If a conflict of interest situation develops during Commission discussion, the commissioner with the conflict is expected to notify the Chairperson. Conflicts of interest include situations where a member of the Commission serves as a Trustee, Board member, staff member, or committee member of an entity which is requesting approval of a grant from the Michigan Community Service Commission. Or any other relationship which the Commissioner, in his/her own discretion deems a conflict of interest. 2. Any members of the Commission with a conflict will be called on by the Chairperson to discuss details and share any information about the proposed grant at the time of the individual grant request discussion. The Commission member will then be excused by the Chairperson while other members of the Commission discuss the application and vote its acceptance or denial. Following action on the grant request, the Commissioner may return to the Commission work. 3. Michigan Community Service Commission members who are unsure about a conflict of interest situation should discuss their concerns with the Chairperson prior to the meeting where the conflict might occur. In general, the Michigan Community Service Commission wants to err on the side of too stringently enforcing conflict of interest policies in order to assure that both the fact and the perception of any unethical conduct is avoided. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Johnson Russell G. Mawby From: Kathy Agard Re: K-12 Education in Philanthropy Project Budget I met with Dave Lindberg regarding the core budget for the K-12 Project. The budget actually looks pretty good. We saved money (a mixed blessing) when some of the schools were unable to find substitute teachers last fall. This was a "big ticket" item and was not expensed as planned. We also have been saving money on meetings by meeting on Saturdays, saving substitute teacher costs, and by meeting at schools rather than hotels. We have 18 months left in the Kellogg Grant. The line items as of August are: Personnel: 17 months of money left, expensed at the current rate (This does not include raises in April 1999. Also, we may have contractual issues with Terry and Judy. In their appointment contracts we may have assured employment through February 2000. These will cause some minor shrinkage in the total amount available…but worst case we have from 15-17 months of money for salaries [October 1999].) Office: 28 months of money left We have saved because of the Muskegon Area Intermediate School District (MAISD) and the National Board for Professional Teaching Standards (NBPTS) offering us inexpensive space. We could transfer some money from this line item if needed. Curriculum Development: We have $182,156 left. This is the largest budget area and is where all expenses related to the lesson plans and teachers occur. We will pay for the first round of field testing from this line item, as well as all teacher meetings, etc. While the field-testing will be an expensive item, there is a substantial amount of money left. Page - 1 - �Grants: We have $44,015 left These are mini-grants given on a matching basis to the project schools to help defray any expenses associated with service learning or the new lessons. We have four more grantmaking periods and will probably use most of this money. Travel: We have $13,398 left in travel. Our presentations at national meetings will begin to eat at this line item. But we will be able to make it easily until February 1999 when our report is due and any adjustments can be requested. Dissemination: We have $16,720 left We will need to request further funds to cover the newsletter. This amount will cover the brochures and the initial costs for developing the newsletter. Technology: We have 10,756 left The Michigan State University (MSU) contract for this year is for $73,000. I will try to negotiate this down some, and we should start to think about another alternative for the third year. But, I don't think we can pull away from MSU yet. We still need their technical support and they own the computers for another year. At the end of the third year they are depreciated from MSU's inventory and become legally the property of the teachers. (MSU has a policy that they will not compete with private computer vendors. This was one way to accomplish what we requested without violating their policy.) An option would be to see if MSU would wave their administrative fee for this contract this year. Almost half of the contract is the university overhead. In short, the budget looks healthier than I had anticipated. The following chart gives some indication where we are related to the other potential funding. Cc: David R.

This objective is in accord with both the conclusions reached at a Strategic Planning Meeting of the EPP held on December 7, 1999, chaired by Dr. Russell Mawby, and with EPP’s goal of planning for the long term teaching of philanthropy beyond grant funding. Background In Phase 1 of its business operations, EPP successfully demonstrated the existence of a market for philanthropy education products and its ability to access the market through the K-12 educational system. In addition, EPP’s value added approach to teaching philanthropy by infusing it into existing curriculum was validated in Phase One as a viable methodology. In its next stage of development, EPP’s primary business challenge will be to assure the project’s long term sustainability by commercializing aspects of the project that permit EPP to transition from grant funding to earned income. This objective needs to be accomplished without compromising EPP’s current and future not-for-profit franchise value. Toward that end, EPP has adopted a business strategy utilizing the World Wide Web as a primary access and distribution channel for EPP products and services. This business model positions EPP to: • maintain and sustain its not-for-profit identity in the short and long term • generate revenues through commercialization of marketing and distribution activities • maintain its operational focus on the design and creation all components of philanthropy education including lessons, books, learning tools, collateral materials etc. • maximize the scale and scope of the project while minimizing exposure to high level of risks associated with startup businesses. 1 The K-12 Education in Philanthropy Project (EPP) seeks to perpetuate a civil society by the education of children about the independent sector, and to inspire their commitment to private citizen action intended for the common good. �2 PROPOSAL Archetech LLC will assist EPP to identify strategic partnerships to fund and develop a philanthropy education vertical portal to serve as a hub for information dissemination and commerce. Partnership Criteria AT will target cornerstone companies for partnership who: • place a high value on reaching the educational community marketplace • offer products or services compatible with EPP mission • offer premier name or branding value to partnership • premier companies who value stewardship identity These partnerships will be structured to provide EPP with: • revenue sharing as a result of advertising and products or services sold • symbiotic or other non-monetary value such as desired technology or intellectual property • new content or other collateral material AT will not solicit partnerships from any companies that produce or advocate products that are harmful to children, illegal, discriminate or are deemed inappropriate by social practice. In addition to its own resources, AT will aggregate and coordinate priority contact information from the EPP and CMF communities as necessary to expand and refine project sales activities. Deliverables To achieve this objective, Archetech LLC will deliver EPP a mix of professional services in stages as described below. While this schedule and action plan serves as a starting point, uncertainties in the development process require the plan to thought of as a fluid work in progress at all times. STAGE I Deliverable 1 Archetech will solicit partnerships with cornerstone companies in the form of joint venture or licensing arrangement to underwrite: 1. Yr 2000 curriculum content creation - This funding would allow EPP to accelerate and complete content creation, and ($1 million projected) 2. Stage II business plan development costs - legal, sales, promotion, travel, professional fees, web site development etc. ($200,000 projected) �3 Deliverable 2 AT will take the lead (rationale and content) in developing collateral materials necessary to support Stage I sales and promotional activities including a: • one page document describing history and progress to date • two page document describing development plan • computer PowerPoint sales presentation Deliverable 3 AT will initiate activities to identify a national strategic partner (service clubs such as Rotary, Kiwanis or Lions) to promote EPP services and products offerings at the community level. Deliverable 4 AT will identify and recommend individuals for membership on a business advisory board to provide support to various aspects of the project Deliverable 5 AT will prepare a written report of Stage I activities which will include recommendations for Stage II activities. STAGE II To successfully implement this strategy, a business plan, consistent with the EPP mission, needs to be developed to guide management near and long-term decisionmaking. This plan would describe in detail: • how the not-for-profit and for-profit entities will relate to one another • EPP and partnership Internet marketing strategies including: 1. Market analysis 2. Market research 3. Marketing positioning for various audiences (1 or 2 Web sites?) 4. Competitive analysis • description of the core functionality of the web site including; 1. How the web site will be integrated with the written curriculum 2. Underwriting support for designing, developing, serving and maintaining the commercial Web site • financial projections for the venture Stage II activities would be triggered by fulfillment of Stage I funding goals. STAGE III Stage III activities would operationalize the business plan developed in Stage II. Time for Performance and Personnel Performing the Work Archetech estimates performance of Stage I activities will be completed within 120 days of the date a letter of engagement is executed by the parties. Work will begin immediately on that date. Messrs. Ed Stone, Paul Baker and Doug Monroe will perform tasks of the proposal for Archetech LLC unless otherwise mutually agreed, except for certain secretarial/ administrative functions. �4 � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

The project began in response to the marked decline in civility in American society, as documented in such works as “Bowling Alone: The Collapse and Revival of American Community” by Robert D. Putnam. The project, initially known as the K-12 Education in Philanthropy Project, set out to expand the popular definition of philanthropy to include the giving of time and talent as well as money by people of all ages and from all strata of society. At the heart of the project was the desire to educate a new generation of young people about the value and historic role of the nation’s not-for-profit sector, which includes civic clubs and volunteer groups of all types. The visionary nature of the project has uncovered a hunger for education about making individual contributions. The project has evolved into a movement that can make a vital contribution to America’s future as a civil society. Already, it has spawned successful courses in philanthropy. The council’s research identified schools as the only viable conduit for reaching children in all parts of society and all parts of the country. The goal of the project is to create a demand for its materials and to make all the material available at little or no cost on an Internet portal. After its initial three-year phase, which was largely funded by the W.K. Kellogg Foundation, the project is moving into a bolder phase. It plans to grow nationally and has adopted a new name: Learning To Give. Much of the needed coursework and many of the supporting materials have been developed during the research and development period. Many teachers have been trained and plans have been created to train more on the Web. The first generation website is already on the Internet and will be expanded to serve teachers, students, parents and communities as the project progress. The project has formed a not-for-profit entity to oversee the growth of the program, from its initial phase. Learning To Give is now seeking corporate sponsorship to make the move onto the national stage. Sponsors will receive the extraordinary benefit of playing a leading role in a national movement to teach young people the best of American traditions, with the goal of perpetuating a civil society. Sponsorships will be based on the principles developed for Public Broadcasting System sponsors. Learning To Give is well established in Michigan. Soon it will move into California. It has been successfully replicated in courses at an Atlanta prep school and a major private university in the South. An enormously positive experience is available to the right sponsor. We invite and urge your participation in this vital undertaking. For further information, please contact: Kathryn Agard, Ed.D.

A troubling undercurrent has entered our national culture—a failure to transmit the social and democratic values of civic engagement from one generation to the next. This breakdown poses a significant threat to our tradition as a civil society. Three years ago, the Council of Michigan Foundations created the K-12 Education in Philanthropy Project (now known as Learning to Give). The purpose of the project is to perpetuate a civil society by educating children about the independent sector and to inspire their commitment to private citizen action intended for the common good. In its initial phase of operations, the Project demonstrated its power to mobilize the great change agents of American life—our youth. Learning to Give is now seeking corporate support to launch the program onto the national stage. Corporate sponsorship will enable us to:  Implement a national dissemination plan to offer schools and communities access to Learning to Give resources;  Complete and test a comprehensive K-12 curriculum that can be adapted to any educational environment; and  Build understanding of civic responsibility and individual community service by young people. Sponsors will be actively and positively associated with a grassroots national movement to create an enhanced sense of community among our youth. Specifically, Learning to Give will:  Prominently credit sponsors in all print and media materials publicizing the Project;  Acknowledge sponsors as national corporate citizens in hundreds of state and national venues;  Ensure that sponsors receive branded presence on all multimedia presentations that we develop;  Recognize sponsors for their stewardship role formally and informally at meetings of national educational and philanthropic organizations;  Credit sponsors with integrating Learning to Give into their employee development programs; and  Encourage sponsors to participate in Project advisory groups and other affiliated organizations promoting the Project in the media. At a time when key traditions important to our way of life are endangered, Learning to Give will transmit fundamental American values of civic responsibility and community service to our youth. By doing so, the Project will not only add meaning and abundance to their lives, but will also renew our nation’s tradition of individual commitment to the common welfare.
