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.

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.

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.

She also mentioned that she had talked with the National Governor's Association and said they are currently aware of over 30 states who are actively seeking funding. She also spoke with the National Community Service Commission regarding the Federal Regulations and the comment period ending December 9, 1991. The Commission encouraged comments particularly Item E in the category of funding. The Commission will only fund 3 of the 5 programs that are listed under Item E. The National Commission is looking to the states for recommendations in this area. 2 �6. Youth Service America (YSAl Chairperson Engler introduced Mr. Frank Dirks from Youth Service America. Mr. Dirks provided an overview of what Youth Service America has done to assist the Commission and YSA's recommendations to the MCSC as it develops the statewide plan.

Into the Streets Update by Octavia Vaughn, Super Hub Director On November 1, 1991, over 10,000 students, administrators, faculty and staff went Into the Streets. On 115 campuses across the country participants of Into the Streets had an opportunity to experience first-hand social issues within their surrounding communities and to combat those issues in a positive manner. Michigan represented 13 percent of the total participating nationwide campuses, reporting 1,500 volunteers. Michigan's commitment to community service is exemplified by the participation of local governments, community agencies, students, state legislators, university presidents and by press coverage of the following schools: Albion College - 50 participants Aquinas College/Calvin College - 179 participants Eastern Michigan University - 19 participants Grand Valley State University - 65 participants Hope College - not reported yet Kalamazoo College - 3 participants Kellogg Community College - not reported yet Lansing Community College - 250 participants Michigan State University- 600 plus participants -2- University of Michigan -175 participants Wayne State University- not reported yet Western Michigan University - ISO participants. COOL owes a great deal of thanks to these schools and their participants. The program phase we are now in is critical to improving the Into the Streets program for the coming year. EVALUATION, the COOL Evaluation Summit, will be held in Washington, DC, January 10-12, 1992. Travel to the summit will be coordinated by the Super Hub Office in Michigan. For further information please contact Octavia Vaughn (517) 336-2940(1). �Engler appoints Algra Executive Director of Michigan Community Service Commission On September 27, 1991, Governor Engler signed an executive order establishing the Michigan Community Service Commission.

Dear Friends and Colleagues: Let me take this opportunity to express to you all my thanks for the support that you have shown the Michigan Campus Compact during these last three years. Our Compact has been able to accomplish a great deal in a short time. We have seen our organization: Grow from five to sixteen member institutions committed to strengthening collegiate service. Award 43 venture grants totalling $144,000 to our member schools. Conduct a student attitude survey on volunteerism of ten of our sixteen member campuses. Sponsor conferences and seminars for our members. Provide support for 300 students, faculty and administrators to attend conferences and seminars around the state and country. Provide opportunities for networking and the exchange of ideas among our member institutions. Recognize students for their outstanding community service through the MCC Community Service Award of $1000. Last year we presented three students with this award. As we look toward 1992 and beyond, the Compact will continue to work to strengthen the field of collegiate service in Michigan. In addition, we will actively seek to impact faculty and the curriculum at the undergraduate level with the intent of moving service from the fringes to the mainstream of academic life. Therefore, I encourage your continued involvement and support of the Michigan Campus Compact. I would like to say how rewarding my association has been with the Compact and all its member institutions. Be assured that I will continue to support the Compact endeavors in the field of collegiate service. -3- �Spring Break Opportunities Calvin College Calvin College students for the past eight years have traveled to Port Gibson, MS, to aid the economically disadvantaged. Thirteen students and a faculty mentor worked with the Claiborne County-based service organization Christian Volunteer Service (CVS). CVS coordinates volunteers in the county with such services as providing meals for the homebound, sheltering transients, providing Christmas turkeys and toys, running a thrift shop in downtown Port Gibson and repairing run-down homes. Port Gibson is a Mississippi River town of approximately 2,000, mostly poor people. Ulysses S. Grant noted that the prosperous river town was "too beautiful to burn." Upon arriving in Port Gibson, Anne McGuinness, a junior English major, noted, "It was like going back in time - it was like what I pictured the 1950s to be like." For four days the students worked on revamping a dilapidated house. "I pretty much thought it was impossible," Doug Heuker, a senior accounting major stated. The idea of construction work initially intimidated some of the students, but by the end of the week they had replaced windows, constructed window frames and accomplished a lot more than they thought possible. Through their efforts, a family of six had a stable, clean and freshly painted house that hardly resembled the previous structure. Besides working in Port Gibson, Calvin College students have renovated rundown homes in Chicago and Baltimore where they also landscaped a community garden, built a Habitat for Humanity home in Kansas City, MO (see picture on front cover) and Coahoma, MS, and repaired houses that had not recovered from Hurricane Hugo in Johns Island, SC. "For many students, this is their first exposure to abject poverty," Rhonda Berg, Calvin Student Volunteer Services director said. Staying in apartments or trailers in the community, worshipping with the people they help, reflecting in devotions - all had an emotional impact. (Portions of this article provided by '/\ Working Witness in Port Gibson" written by Alan Speer, Calvin College Student.) Empty the Shelters "Town Meeting." People involved in the program gathered along with other advocates in the community to discuss strategies to combat lwmelessness. Kalamazoo College student participates in Emptlj the Shelters program Soledad Oyo, a Kalamazoo College student, spent her summer participating in the Empty the Shelters program in Philadelphia. Empty the Shelters gathers students from all over the country to work on various aspects of homelessness and poverty. The mission of Empty the Shelters is "to create, through action and training, culturally diverse studentcommunity partnerships for social change, with a goal of ending homelessness and poverty." Students were placed in different agencies all over the city. Soledad Oyo worked with the University of Pennsylvania Community Health Group (UPCHG) and the University City Hospitality Coalition (UCHC). The UCHC "is the only full-time program in West Philadelphia that provides meals in and for the community seven days per week." The members of the UPCHG are a group of medical students from the University of Pennsylvania that worked full time in community health projects of their own design in community agencies in West Philadelphia. Working for UPCHG complemented working with UCHC because health screening and education were conducted at the meal sites by the medical students. While the group worked at organizing and coordinating a new health service -4- program for participants in a meal program for homeless adults, Soledad worked on children's issues. She coordinated a parenting workshop, "Parenting Party," for homeless mothers and their children. The theme of her class was safety education. Before teaching the class she visited several shelters to get the feel of instructing such a class and how to prepare for it, and read and practiced the prepared safety curriculums of Dr. Judy Epstein. Soledad Oyo had a good experience from this program. "I have never dealt with issues that I had to deal with in this program. Working at the soup kitchen gave me time to talk to low-income and/ or homeless people. They enjoy having someone to talk to while they eat. It helped a little to overcome my fear of homeless people on the streets. Normally I would be very nervous of the people living on the streets, but now I know that most of the homeless people are harmless. Although I was hesitant at first, I was fortunate to have a support group to help me through the process. Empty the Shelters group was, I believe, a support group for the interns." Soledad noted that Empty the Shelters will hopefully branch out to different locations, such as Stanford, Chicago, Atlanta and Philadelphia in 1992. She plans to help with the Chicago site. �Organizations' Efforts Help Grand Rapids Nonprofits MSU students paint home in Covington, LA, during spring break 1991. Michigan State University Students at Michigan State University packed work boots and hammers when they headed south for spring break in March, 1991. Habitat for Humanity sponsored the Collegiate Challenge, an alternative spring break program that sent thousands of college students to work sites nationwide. Fourteen MSU students, with little expertise and a lot of enthusiasm, traveled to Covington, LA, to renovate a rural home. The students spent five days wallpapering the kitchen, refurbishing the bathroom, putting supports under rotting floor boards as well as painting the exterior of the house. The students' only limitation was their own enthusiasm. Needless to say, their hard work showed in their huge accomplishments. The hard work was extremely gratifying especially seeing the appreciative tears of the homeowners. All the students left with a feeling of deep satisfaction in their choice of Spring Break Alternatives. For further information regarding MSU Alternative Spring Break, contact Jennifer Kowalczyk, President, MSU Campus Chapter, Habitat for Humanity (517) 351-0832. Emily Munoz, MSU student, strips paper from kitchen counter in Covington, LA, home during spring break 1991 . -5- Maintaining a vital, efficient and caring network of nonprofit organizations is a critical challenge for the 1990s. Without organizations that do everything from direct human service to support of the arts, the quality of life of our communities would be severely diminished. Recognizing this, three West Michigan organizations, The United Way (Kent County), Grand Valley State University (GVSU) and The Grand Rapids Foundation, teamed up to create Direction Center, a community research and management resource. Direction Center offers management and research assistance to nonprofit organizations and provides a credible research and data base to be used by community decision-makers as they plan community programs and services. Funded in part by a W.K. Kellogg Foundation grant, Direction Center retains a professional staff of consultants and specialists, including volunteers and faculty from GVSU. Each of the three founding organizations brings to the consortium a special blend of practical experience and specific expertise that, together, establishes a resource that is unavailable anywhere else. For the past several years, economic instability has contributed to the reduction of state funding for health, human services, arts, culture, and educational programs. This has motivated organizations which already have a strong desire to manage limited resources more efficiently to find new ways to do just that. "A lot of organizations want to be more effective, but don't know what to do, or where to start," Vicki Weaver, former executive director, Direction Center stated. "That's the reason we created Direction Center. It's a team effort between The United Way, GVSU, and the Grand Rapids Foundation to literally ... help nonprofit organizations head in the right direction." To help improve the management, accountability and service capabilities of nonprofit organizations and to increase and promote a better understanding of human needs, volunteerism and philanthropy to improve the quality of life of the community is the mission Direction Center is striving towards. �Planning a Service S ring Break Jane Klaes, Service Spring Break Tri-Chair, University of Michigan Service Spring Break. A challenge. An Opportunity. A week spent volunteering with an organization, engaging in hands-on projects centered around an issue or need in that community. I spent last spring break at several soup kitchens in New York City. There I met Shirley, a homeless woman and regular guest at P.O.T.S., a soup kitchen in the Bronx, who told me about her fullride scholarship to Columbia University, and who challenged me in a discussion about the nature of intelligence. I met Donny who shared with our group his experiences as a recovering narcotics addict and homeless man; whose honesty, courage, and struggle left a lasting impact. I met Tony who told me about the inner workings of gangs and the mafia in New York based on his experiences with both, who willingly answered my questions, gently amused by my ignorance. Spring Break, to me, is about connections; coming together with fellow students and people in other communities, experiencing our relatedness and interconnection, separating less and understanding more . The people I met and the connections I built in New York have stayed with me and continually influenced my thought and behavior, enabling me to better refute stereotypes about homeless people and to broaden my view of the complexity and enormity of our society's problems; inspiring me with their energy, determination, and commitment to resolve those problems. The effects of Service Spring Break extend well beyond one week. Whatever your vision for Service Spring Break, in order to make your program a success, it will take careful and intentional planning, as well as a certain amount of knowledge, imagination, and will. Last year, as one of the site coordinators, I had no real format to follow, and though it was challenging and ernpowering to blaze my own trail, it is often helpful to have some kind of framework. Here are a few things I have learned from my own experience and from Break Away, the national ASB (Alternative Spring Break) headquarters in Nashville, TN. • Start early, at least five or six months ahead of the actual break. The reasons for this will become apparent as you read on. • Get a team of committed leaders together. Some roles and duties that may be assigned include: - Chairs: overall organization. - Work Site Selection: research potential sites, correspond with them throughout the planning process. - Recruitment: responsible for finding both participants and site leaders (i.e. contact various groups and organizations around campus to get the word out about Service Spring Break); this person also may create applications for participants and site leaders. - Publicity: write articles and leaflets to announce upcoming meetings; contact local media for coverage if desired. - Finances: establish budgets for work sites (i.e. transportation, food, site leader expenses, emergency cash, office supplies) and coordinate fundraising efforts (i.e. approaching your university's community service or student activities office, as well as local businesses) . - Orientation, Reflection, Evaluation: these are integral parts of a quality Break program. - Orientation: prepare groups before they go, including education about issues as well as their specific site, familiarizing participants with one another. - Reflection: create a forum for participants to share feelings, observations, and opinions about their experiences, as well as future options and plans of action (i.e . related volunteer projects in your community). Reflection can start at the site and continue after participants return. - Evaluation: this can be done in part during reflection, in the form of a discussion, but you may consider it important to create a written evaluation form to use for reference in future years. • Develop a time line as early in the process as possible. The order of events may be as follows: 1. Choose worksites - it is more desirable to have fewer quality sites than to be frantically trying to manage too many. 2. Recruit and orient site leaders - depending upon the number of participants per site, it works out well to have two site leaders for each site. They can facilitate orientation andreflection discussions together, and help each other make decisions and preparations. 3. Recruit and select participants - decide upon an application and/or interview process. 4. Orientation - led by respective site leaders. 5. Spring Break 6. Reflection- facilitated by site leaders. 7. Evaluation • About work sites: finding a good site is one of the determining elements of the success or doom of your Break program. Fortunately there is an abundance of great organizations to choose from. When looking for a site, keep in mind your group's goals (i.e. interest in certain issues, opportunity for handson projects) and try to match them with an organization's needs. Some resources include your university's community service office, ASB's National Site Bank, YMCA, United Way, Habitat for Humanity chapters, and universities in the geographical areas in which you are interested. • Be flexible. Things will change as you go. They will most likely not happen exactly according to plan. Have backup plans. Be open to new elements and factors suddenly appearing that's part of the fun! Planning a Service Spring Break is a lot of work. It is also a lot of fun . Through helping to organize our SSB, I have stretched myself in new and important ways, and have developed skills and friendships that I never would have foreseen. Becoming involved in the planning process adds another dimension to the actual break, an already rich and rewarding experience.

Many colleges and universities throughout the state, as well as the nation, use these fairs as recruitment for new volunteers and to bring fresh opportunities to those who already volunteer. Western's fair was a huge success with over 79 agencies and over 650 students in attendance . As the students entered they were asked to fill out a registration slip. This served two purposes. It enabled students to be in a drawing for door prizes and it allowed the Student Volunteer Services to count the number in attendance and to follow-up with them. There was a festive atmosphere with the hum of students and staff interacting with the various agencies. The agencies, as well as the students, were pleased with the opportunities they were offered and many commented on how impressive it was to see the number of people who cared enough to get involved . Vol u11feer Opportu11ities Fa ir at Westem Michigan U11iversity, September 19, 1991 . Students Appointed to MCC Boards Michigan Campus Compact has appointed student representatives to serve on the Advisory Board and Venture Grant subcommittee. Jim Ryan and Jen Bastress were appointed to the Advisory Board. "For me, service centers around the idea of a partnership between two parties each of whom works toward a common goal and improved situation," Ms . Bastress noted. "Service is not something one gives and another takes, rather both parties gain from the experience and grow VIDEO The Michigan Campus Compact Student Advisory Board is proud to announce plans for the creation of a special statewide video for the purpose of encouraging students on all college campuses to participate in community service . In order to create this video, however, the Student Board needs your input. While the whole outline for the video has not been decided, a major portion of it will be devoted to creating a collage of community service activities occurring all around the state. together." Ms. Bastress is a junior in the school of nursing at University of Michigan . She is the internal vice chair of Project S.E.R.V.E. and a member of the Youth Action Council of Youth Service America. Jim Ryan is in his third year at Lansing Community College majoring in international business. Ryan is the recipient of a Student Developmental Services Scholarship for Leadership. He has been involved in numerous community service activities including Dinner of Love, Into the Streets and mentoring. Ryan believes, "Everyone should contribute to community service. If an individual can give an hour or two a week this world would be much better." Missy Hamm and Hans Morefield were appointed to the Venture Grant Subcommittee. Ms. Hamm is a senior psychology major at Adrian College. She plans to pursue a master's in social work upon graduation. Morefield, a senior at Kalamazoo College, is majoring in history with a concentration in management studies. Here's where we need your help. We ·w ould like each member school to send 2-3 half minute video commercials of special events or unique projects in which their sh1dents participate. We will chose one 'commercial' from each school. We are hoping that the large pool of possible videos will ensure that one commercial can be selected from each campus, allowing us to show 16 different forms of service. This will emphasize to new students that community service comes in many forms, through many activities. Please send finished videos to: Project S.E.R.V.E., University of Michigan, 2211 Michigan Union, 530 South State St., Ann Arbor, MI 481091349, c/o Brian Mono.

The Institute on Integrating Service with Academic Study is modeled after the Lilly Endowment Workshop on the Liberal Arts. Through a grant from the Ford Foundation, Campus Compact convened 15 teams from member institutions. Other institutions selected to participate at the workshop were Brevard Community College (Brevard County, FL), California Polytechnic State University (San Luis Obispo, CA), California State University (San Bernardino, CA), Colgate University (Hamilton, NY), Georgetown University (Washington, DC), Marietta College (Marietta, OH), Metropolitan State University (St. Paul, MN), Nazareth College of Rochester (NY), University of Notre Dame (IN), Ohio Wesleyan University (Delaware, OH), Seattle University (WA), Shawnee State University (Portsmouth, OH), University of Pennsylvania (Philadelphia), University of West Florida (Pensacola, FL). The planning teams from each institution participated in four distinct program phases: issue identification; development of an action plan which entailed working with institute faculty to develop a blueprint for action; implementation of the action plan to be used when returning to campus; and an evaluation to assess the extent of implementation and modification of the action plan. In addition to attending daily team meetings in which the proposal was discussed and further developed, each team member selected a seminar which met each morning. Seminars examined community service from the community perspective; addressed developmental issues relating to students, faculty, the curriculum and society; focused on clarifying student outcomes and assessing student learning in relation to those outcomes; discussed strategies for assisting students in bringing together their knowledge and experience; and examined the challenge of making the content of liberal arts disciplines connect with the students' experiences in community service. Plenary sessions included presentations by Dr. Frank Newman, President of the Education Commission of the States. Dr. Newman discussed the education reform movement including the America 2000 plan entailing public school choice. Dr. Lee Shulman in his plenary session suggested that the publie service component be viewed as the missing "clinical" piece in the liberal arts education and detailed the use of case based methodologies and curriculum. Dr. John Wallace presented his thesis "the Moral Equivalent of War," based on the work of William James. In addition to the team meetings, seminars and plenary sessions, a host of breakout sessions, poster sessions and cluster meetings kept the team members inspired and challenged throughout the week. Teams also participated in a service project with local community agencies. Evenings were devoted not only to team meetings, but to viewing a number of videos, including Dr. Blake's October 1963 interview of el-Hajj Malik el-Shabazz, "Socrates for Six Year Olds," a BBC documentary about Matthew Lipman's work teaching philosophy to children, and "You Got to Move" examining the work of Myles Horton and the Highlander Research and Education Center in New Market, TN. Readings included the following: "Helping Rural Communities Pursue Economic Development: A Role for Universities and Colleges?" "Connecting the Curriculum & the Community," Oeavons, 1989): "The Long Haul" (Kohl and Kohl, 1990); and a "A Mandate for Liberty: Requiring Education-Based Community Service" (Barber).

National Collegiate Leadership Conference This past August, teams of student leaders and advisors from six colleges and universities participated in a National Collegiate Leadership Conference held at rustic and beautiful Camp Miniwanca on the shores of Lake Shelby and Lake Michigan. College teams from Albion College, Allegheny College (PA), Berea College (KY), Lansing Community College, Michigan State University, and Western Michigan University addressed issues and concerns of their respective campuses and created an action plan to make an impact on the college environment. The large group sessions were directed by scholars in the field of leadership. For example, the group session "Where do you want to make a difference and why is it important to you?" began by the facilitators telling their "story" of where they were and why. Then in turn, the college teams shared with their peers where they we ,·e and how they would like to make a difference at college. This model allowed the students to be empowered and to see themselves as leaders which would become important for them in facing their action plans. Each team left the NCLC conference with a comprehensive action plan. These plans were individual for each college and were designed to meet the needs of each team. Some teams had broader plans; more networking opportunities on the campus, developing leadership programs, addressing campus safety. Other action plans were more specific such as creating a Big Brothers/Big Sisters Program. The Albion College action plan was "to foster a campus-wide sense of community, increase student involvement on campus and increase interaction between organizations." This plan was to be addressed through "Briton Bash," an all-campus community celebration that incorporated students, faculty, staff and organizations in a picnidorganizational -6- carnival. The "Briton Bash" was a huge success and was well received by the college community. The student leaders have since shared their visionary ideas and campus concerns with the presidential cabinet, trustees, and alumni board. The student senate and other student organizations have picked up some of the other ideas. The Albion action plan was done with a lot of hard work, effort and some struggle. The action plans would not have been attempted with such vigor and determination without the empowerment structure of the conference. The conference provided the opportunity for students to learn about themselves, gain a higher self-esteem, listen better and work in a successful group. For further information contact, Elizabeth A.

Western Michigan was one of 15 institutions selected by the National Campus Compact to participate in the institute held at Stanford University July 20-27, 1991. Faculty Involvement Educational Resources Over a period of 5 years, set a goal of involving half the faculty in service either on the personal level or in the class. If there is a strong base among most faculty members who are already involved in service, then use these people to begin to try to integrate the private and academic aspects of their lives. These faculty members can become the core leaders. They can develop a casebook (stories) of service. Community leaders and students could also be involved in preparing this casebook. Videos could be prepared which highlight faculty/students/community service experience. Prepare a number of 20-minute videos or slide shows to be used in the classroom or in the faculty gatherings. Develop a library of ideas for faculty members to record and showcase community service experiences. These would include photo displays, videos, journals, casebooks and awards, such as the outstanding student and faculty community service awards. Recognition could also involve written essays submitted by students and evaluated by faculty. Formal Programs for Faculty Provide a forum (seminar) for faculty members to tell their stories and recruit through personal reflections and enthusiasm. Try to use individuals who are respected for more "traditional" faculty activities and scholarship. Create idea champions. Videos and casebooks can be shown at the forums. Create workshops to describe service learning and give opportunities for faculty members to create and develop service learning components for their courses or departments. Informal Programs for Faculty Create opportunities to involve faculty members in discussions. These could be "Teaching Tables," brown bag lunches or faculty happy hour (spontaneous sherry sharings). Food creates "ties that bind." Deans can provide funds for the food or sherry to create and sustain discussions across the disciplines. Recognition Establish reward systems for faculty members which involve service learning. Perhaps create a community service scholars program which might involve funds to develop community service projects. Use curriculum development grant monies to support course development which integrated service with academic study. Build support for community service internships into the faculty work load . Develop a small fund to encourage centers and institutes on campus to develop a set of awards or fellowships out of indirect cost funds to promote the design of community service projects. Faculty members might consider endorsing a notation on the transcript which records the number of hours in community service. Institutions should use a "service-learning contract" to establish criteria for the service and which records the hours spent in the field. Work Load Issues Bring together faculty members and administrators to talk about the administrative issues involved in supervising and rewarding faculty. Look at issues of equity on campus as it relates to work load. Try to connect current policies about work load with the community service component. Work closely with the student volunteer coordinator to obtain a realistic assessment of time involved.

(The Association for Construction and Technical Services). The students who volunteer for A.C.T.S. help the elderly, handicapped and single parents handle the simple repairs that home ownership requires. Their work helps people stay in their homes. The grant from Dayton-Hudson makes it possible for the Student Volunteer Service to pay one student coordinator to coordinate the program. Through adding this student staffer, A. C. T. S. hopes to achieve better coordination with community organizations, better recruitment of student volunteers, involvement of alumni as technical advisors and project supervisors, better screening of needs and ongoing evaluation of the program. For further information contact Ms . Rhonda Berg, Director, Student Volunteer Services , (616) 957-6455. Northern Michigan University Northern Michigan University received a three-year grant from the W.K. Kellogg Foundation to develop student leadership. The Student Leader Fellowship Program will include an intense leadership development experience for 50 students annually. During a two-year period, these students will learn leadership theory in a two-credit course, practice related skills and gain first-hand experience through a one-year internship in a community setting. With the assistance of either a faculty or community mentor, students will develop an action plan for program completion. This action plan will include attendance at a prescribed number of workshops. Workshops presented by volunteers recruited from faculty, staff, community leaders and business people, may deal with such topics as leadership styles, group process, time management, public speaking or program planning. The one-year internship experience will provide students an opportunity to implement a program or service in a community agency, school or other organization. A special focus area of the program will be the placement of college student leaders in situations where they may have an impact and act as role models for local high school and middle school youths. For further information contact Mr. Dave Bonsall, Director of Student Activities, (906) 227-2439. Michigan State University Michigan State University received a three-year grant from the federal agency, Action, to develop three community service models within the residence halls. Action grants incorporate community service to serve poverty-related organizations. Staff of the residential life department, the service learning center and student groups within the residence halls will be collaborating with community agencies on these projects.

Governor John Engler has created the Michigan Community Service Commission composed of twenty-one members representing various sectors of the state and a wide range of interests (please see attached list of Commission members), to serve as the lead state agency with regard to this national initiative. We currently intend to apply for funding under the following subtitles: 1. Subtitle B 1 2. 3. 4. 5. Subtitle B2 Subtitle C SubtitleD Subtitle E Therefore, we request at this rime that we be forwarded a packet of application materials. Please have these sent to the attention of Ms. Diana Algra, Executive Director, Michigan Community Service Commission, Olds Plaza Bldg., 111 S. Capitol Avenue, P.O. Box 30015, Lansing, Michigan 48909. In closing, let me say that I look forward to working with you and members of your staff in the coming months.

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. �9{ationa( Youth Leadership Counci( Center for Youth Development & Research University of Minnesota Program Office: 1910 West County Road B, #216 Roseville, Minnesota 55113 (612) 631-3672 November 20, 1991 Diana Algra Executive Director Michigan Community Service Commission Olds Plaza- 4th Floor 111 South Capitol Building P. 0. Box 30013 Lansing, l\11 48909 Dear Diana, I am writing to inform the Michigan Community Service Commission of the N ational Youth Leadership Council's work in Michigan. We would like our work to interface with the state plan being formulated at this time and be supportive of this plan as it develops. Through a grant from theW. K. Kellogg Foundation, the National Youth Leadership Council (NYLC) has received "seed money" for the initial development of a Michigan statewide center for K-12 service-learning (see attached sheet for functions of center). Our work in Michigan is linked to a larger NYLC servicelearning initiative funded by the Kellogg Foundation to provide teacher training, curriculum development and the selection and support of schools that model exemplary service-learning programs nationwide. We wish to establish a Michigan K-12 service-learning center affiliated with the National Youth Leadership Council that would stand independently in future years, and have been seeking an appropriate home for the center. After several Michigan visits by NYLC staff and discussions with a number of knowledgeable people, we have concluded that a base at Michigan State University would be appropriate for the Michigan Service-Learning Center. Ideally, along with the lead organization/university unit, the center would collaborate and be supported by related organizations such as the Michigan Department of Education, Michigan Campus Compact, Michigan Partnership for New Education, Michigan Council of Foundations, Michigan Non-Profit Forum, Michigan Cooperative Extension Service- 4-H, Youth Service America and others. We would hope, too, that individuals from these organizations would advise on the center as it grows. A December meeting is scheduled with Dr. Charles Thompson, Associate Dean, College of Education to discuss possible departmental locations within the College. Other MSU locations are also being explored. Leadership :For Service �Commitment by the National Youth Leadership Council via the Kellogg Foundation includes a start up financial contribution of $92,087 over a three year period specifically for the center. In addition, this initiative carries within its work a project aimed at supporting K-8 schools committed to developing effective servicelearning practices. This endeavor known as The Generator School Project (see attached description) will provide pass-through funds to selected Michigan schools via the DeWitt Wallace-Reader's Digest Fund totaling $99,000 distributed over a five year period. Combined initial dollars brought to this Michigan effort total $191,087. Fundraising efforts would continue beyond the start-up years of the center, supported by NYLC but initiated primarily by the Michigan host organization. In addition to financial support, the Michigan Regional Center would benefit from becoming an active part of the National Service-Learning Initiative (NSLI), a national collaboration designed to further the integration of service-learning into K-12 schools (see attached description). The NYLC and other Regional Center Staff from Washington State and New Mexico offer a wealth of technical assistance and training for service-learning and youth community service efforts in the state of Michigan. Although we see schools as our primary focus for effecting change in young people and the institutions created to serve them, we are interested in working with anyone supporting young people in service-learning efforts. We have in the past trained mixed groups of school teachers, administrators, and community agency leaders. We emphasize a true collaboration between school and community, a key tenant of current educational reform strategies. If I can answer questions or provide further information, please contact me. The National Youth Leadership Council would like to stay abreast ot Commission activities and offer our resources as they may be needed. As the state plan develops, we would welcome feedback and direction from Commission members. Sincerely, ,,·--;-t James C. Kielsmeier President, NYLC --- ,/ �National Youth Leadership Council National Service-Learning Initiative MICHIGAN Regional Center Service-learning, an educational methodology that involves young people in community service experiences while enhancing academic learning, personal growth, and social development, has begun to emerge as a key element of national school improvement efforts. Through a grant from the W. K. Kellogg Foundation, the National Youth Leadership Council (NYLC) has received "seed money" for the initial development of a Michigan state-wide center for K-12 service-learning. Organizing efforts are underway to bring together educators interested in enhancing the potential of service-learning resources statewide. Our work in Michigan is linked to a larger NYLC service-learning national initiative funded by the Kellogg Foundation to provide teacher training, curriculum development and the selection and support of schools that model exemplary service-learning programs nationwide. Goal To advance service-learning in Michigan K-12 schools. Strategy The National Service-Learning Initiative is committed to service learning as vital and intrinsic to any successful school reform movement. Service learning will not be considered an add-on to the curriculum, but part of the curriculum in all subject areas. The Michigan Regional Center will: • Initiate and support K-12 school-wide approaches to service-learning. • Collaborate with ongoing activities of the Michigan Community Service Commission. • Arrange Training opportunities in Michigan. • Initiate the development of nine K-8 Generator Schools over a three year' period. • Provide on-site technical assistance in service-learning for schools and school districts wishing such services. • Collaborate with institutions within Michigan communities wishing to be part of the service-learning movement. • Provide Michigan with a center that will serve as a resource for materials, ideas and curriculum on service-learning. • Explore implementing college credit courses for teachers and principals. Structure Director of Regional Center will organize service-learning efforts in Michigan with the assistance of the National Youth Leadership Council, with the intent of moving toward self-sufficiency. The Regional Center Director will join the existent collaboration efforts of the National Service-Learning Initiative.

MI non profit �National Service Learning Initiative zn MICHIGAN A Collaborative Project of the National Youth Leadership Council Supported by the W. K. Kellogg Foundation The National Youth Leadership Council (NYLC) is encouraged by the number and quality of local programs which form a core of experience upon which to build a statewide K-8 service-learning effort. NYLC is committed to working with K-8 schools and community organizations to engage in servicelearning methodologies and to building a state-wide service-learning network. The National ServiceLearning Initiative plans to bring its efforts to Michigan in the form of: Training • Training of Teachers in service-learning methodology and practice, through 1-3 day intensive orientations and training • Certified Teacher Trainer graduates • Service-Learning Teacher Institutes for experienced teachers • Pre-service Teacher Education • National and regional conferences • A national cadre of teachers educated in the area of service-learning who will serve as resources to their peers Curriculum • K-8 service-learning curriculum to be developed, piloted and published • Assessment and evaluation tools for service-learning Demonstration Schools • "Generator Schools", or exemplary school models supported with special training and resources, will serve as national demonstration models producing materials and personnel resources made available to other programs in their regions and nationwide • Generator Schools will operate in each project region Interested in Learning More?

Committed to increasing educational and career opportunities for all youth, the DeWitt Wallace-Reader's Digest Fund in New York, has awarded a five year grant to the National Youth Leadership Council (NYLC), a Minnesota based national non-profit organization affiliated with the University of Minnesota and dedicated to developing service oriented youth leaders. The grant will provide principle support for the Generator School Project, a demonstration program involving 33 K-8 schools committed to developing effective service learning practices. Each Generator School will receive a "seed grant" of $11,000 awarded over three years to integrate service learning into its curriculum and ensure that the program reaches all students at some point in their education. Service learning is a method of teaching and learning which actively engages students in service projects in their schools and communities. Lessons gained through the service experience are brought back into the classroom through structured reflection including group discussion, daily journal writing and essays. A powerful educational tool which promises to make academic learning more effective, service learning can be incorporated into subjects ranging from civics and social studies to mathematics and the sciences. The Generator School Project is part of a broad National Service Learning Initiative designed to ensure the acceptance and integration of service learning into school curriculums. A collaborative project funded by the W. K. Kellogg Foundation in Battle Creek, Michigan that Initiative supports the philosophy that for service learning to meet its potential, it must be grounded in sound educational practices through solid teacher training, high quality curricular materials and substantial pilot programs. The Kellogg Foundation grant to NYLC is being used to support the development and testing of multi-level training programs and curriculums. What is a Generator School? A Generator School is a K-8 school committed to developing effective service-learning practices as part of a national initiative. Where are Generator Schools located? As part of the National Service Learning Initiative, Regional Centers have been established in four areas of the country: Michigan, Minnesota, New Mexico and Washington. At this time, each Regional Center is staffed by a Coordinator who provides a broad range of technical assistance to schools, districts and state government agencies interested in learning about developing and implementing service learning programs. A Generator School must be located in one of these four regions. �Why is this project important? Service-learning is rapidly gaining support nationwide for its potential to support educational reform and community renewal. The Generator School Project provides opportunities for the development of a comprehensive model of effective school-based service-learning practice and to help inform the servicelearning field of the impact of service-learning on students, staff, schools and their communities. How does a school qualify for consideration as a Generator School? To qualify for consideration as a Generator School, a school must meet the following criteria • Serve K-8 students in one of the Regional Centers • Exhibit readiness at the building and district level to support service learning • Demonstrate a commitment to build and sustain an effective service learning program • Be willing to serve as a resource to other schools In addition, approximately two-thirds of the schools selected to participate in the Generator School Project will serve low income youth, in urban, rural and reservation settings.
