Retreat Chronology Friday November 20, 1992 lO:OOam- ll:OOam -Welcome and Overview At this point, only the Commissioners" the staff, Jean Burkhardt, and one MYPAC member were in attendance. The Commissioners were to spend the day taking stock of the Commission. The focus was on evaluating both ourselves as individuals and the MCSC as a group. The MYPAC was scheduled to arrive and begin the joint retreat at 5:00pm. After brief introductions and informal discussion, Diana Algra and Jean Burkhardt reviewed the retreat agenda and the planning process for the retreat and the coming year. Burkhardt introduced the SWOT analysis concept. Generally, SWOT is a small group process employed to assess a group' s internal strengths and weaknesses and external opportunities and threats. 2 �ll:OOam -12:30pm- Taking Stock of Ourselves Commissioners were divided into groups of three and four to engage in Taking Stock of Ourselves. The task was to answer the question, What resources do we bring to the Commission? The groups were given an hour to brainstorm their skills, experiences, contacts, and specific interests . Each group was then given the opportunity to report its findings to the larger group. Some results from the Taking Stock of Ourselves exercise Skills and Experiences: Commissioners and staff members found some striking similarities in their skills, and many talents unique to individuals. The following are some of the more useful skills and experiences discussed by members of the Michigan Community Service Commission: • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • Accounting and Finance Skills Business Experience Coalition Building Community Leadership Fund Raising Grant Reviewing Grant Writing Group Facilitation Motivating Others Problem Solving Public Relations and Media Skills Starting New Programs and New Organizations Strategic Planning School Administration Teaching Working With Youth Writing Contacts: Through board memberships , volunteer pos1t10ns, and other connections, MCSC Commissioners are involved with a staggering number of organizations in Michigan and across the country . In addition, many Commissioners have contact with the sta te 's and the nation 's most influential public, private, and nonprofit leaders .

Highlights include discussion of the statewide Youth Service Michigan meetings convened by the Council of M ichigan Foundations, the Michigan Campus Compact, the Michigan Nonprofit Forum, and Youth Service America in the Summer of 1991. This series of three meetings brought together practitioners and participants in all streams of you th service: K- 12, higher education, full - time and volunteer youth corps, and community-based programs, to discuss th e "big picture" of community service in Michigan. As a direct resul t of these meetings, the recommendations of Youth Service America, and the strong commitment of Governor and Michelle Engler, the Michigan Community Service Commission was established in October, 1991. Discussion then turned to the de velopment of the Nation al and Communit y Service Act of 1990 and the subsequen t establishment of the Commission on -ational and Communi ty Service. Other major state an d national community service initiatives were also discussed , at length, to p rovide a clear picture of both the field in Michigan and Michigan' s place at the fo r efr o nt of the nation al community service mo vement. 5 �3:15pm- 5:30pm- Small Group SWOT Analysis Strengths Weaknesses Opportunities Threats The Commissioners were agam divided into small groups, this time to engage in intensive SWOT analysis. Small groups were given one hour to identify strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats of the past year and of the future.

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

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

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

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

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

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

No other state has obtained the bi-partisan support necessary to elevate its importance beyond partisanship. No other state has obtained the broad based statewide private leadership support of all sectors. The Michigan Campaign for Volunteerism will establish a pattern for other states.

While these countless problems vary from neighborhood to neighborhood, we all recognize them . We see their effects on the faces of too many hopeless, disenchanted youth . We hear the cries of fear from citizens victimized by violence. We feel the impact of a society losing its most important battle. As a business leader, I understand the interrelatedness between our social problems and our future ability to compete in domestic and global markets. Without an adequately educated workforce, we will be unable to advance equality of economic opportunity, a foundation of America 's social stability. There is no "magic bullet." These problems have taken decades to develop and will not be solved overnight. We cannot rely on money or any single sector alone to address our social issues; it will require human determination and long-term commitment only available through the " people-power" mobilized by all- from the largest corporation to the smallest neighborhood group. In Michigan, we are launching the first bipartisan statewide Campaign for Volunteerism, an initiative I am proud to co-chair. This Campaign will work to create or enhance Volunteer Centers and other systems that support volunteering and its impact on problem-solving; and it will challenge and motivate citizens to take actions that benefit our communities and people in need. The purpose of the Year of the Volunteer is to assist every citizen and organization in doing what they can do for their country, state and community. The most serious threat we confront is our vitally serious social problems. They are crippling children 's readiness to learn, overburdening teachers, denying businesses educated employees, further reducing competitiveness, eliminating economic growth, shrinking employment and adding to social instability. We know they cannot be solved primarily by government or by money, but only by people helping people voluntarily. In urban communities most people need help doing this meaningfully. This requires a local volunteering infrastructure. Its key component is a Volunteer Center, as well known as the Post Office, that has local government, business and community leadership support. Creating such infrastructures and Volunteer Centers throughout the state will be the focus of the Campaign. Success will make Michigan the first state with a statewide volunteer network, a pattern for other states and a model for the nation. Next year, during National Volunteer Week in April, and throughout the Campaign, we will report to you on our progress in meeting these objectives. THE CAMPAIGN LEADERSHIP CAMPAIGN GOALS Knowing that something must be done now to combat Michigan's vitally serious social problems, leaders from all over the state have joined together to form Michigan 's Campaign for Volunteerism . The Campaign's mission, adopted in December 1991, is : The Campaign is led by Co-Chairs Frank Popoff, President and CEO, The Dow Chemical Company; Michelle Engler, First Lady of Michigan; and Janet Blanchard, former First Lady of Michigan; and Honorary Chair George Romney, former Governor of Michigan. Governor Engler and all former Michigan Governors and First Ladies are supporting the Campaign . The Campaign will be staffed by The Nonprofit Forum under the direction of Maryellen Lewis, Executive Director. Pam Warwick, consultant to nonprofit and volunteer leaders and former executive director of The National VOLUNTEER Center, will provide campaign guidance and professional support. To supply needed funding, The W.K. Kellogg Foundation is providing $226,000 over two years. The Dow Chemical Company, Ford Motor Company Foundation, Michigan Bell and individuals are contributing over $100,000 in the first year. Already, 37 statewide networks of organizations and citizens have made a commitment to embrace the goals of the campaign, offer their assistance in ways that reflect their areas of expertise or mission, and encourage their members or affiliates to get involved. For example, the Volunteer Centers of Michigan will serve as an information and assistance hub for communities seeking to strengthen their loca l volunteering infrastructure and link Michigan citizens to quality, reward ing volunteer experiences. To promote volunteerism across the State of Michigan and to create a climate of commitment to volunteering which permeates Michigan 's leadership, its institutions, its commun ities and citizens. To achieve th is mission, the Campaign will: • Build or enhance the community infrastructures that support volunteering, especially Volunteer Centers; thus, increasing the community's long-term capacity to surmount social problems . • Seek to increase the level of volunteering, motivating individuals to action, especially those who have never volunteered before, but have expressed interest. The Campaign also will work to boost the degree of volunteer commitment from leaders and institutions already engaged in combatting social problems in their communities. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

The Michigan Campaign for Volunteerism was kicked off earlier this year in an e1fort by leaders statewide to address the state's serious social problems by promoting volunteerism and strengthening tfie commitment of our state's community leaders to charitable causes. The Campaign is led by Co-Chairs Frank Popoff, President and CruefExecutive Officer, The Dow Chemical Company; Michelle Engler, First Lady of Michigan; Janet Blanchard, former First Lady of Michigan; and ffonorary Chair George Romney, former Governor of Michigan. To achieve its mission, the Campaign has committed to: e Build or enhance the community infrastructures that support volunteering, especially Volunteer Centers; thus, increasing the community's long-term capacity to surmount social problems. And, e Seek to increase the level of volunteering, motivating individuals to action, especially those who nave never volunteered before but fiave expressed interest. Throughout these efforts, the Campaign is also intended to serve as a model for the nation, for no other state has similarly mobilized top leadership in such a widespread effort. Emerging Volunteer Centers With assistance from the Campaign, 27 communities are forming leadership coalitions with the purpose of building or enhancing community infrastructures that support volunteerism, especially the Volunteer Center, as well as to increase the level of volunteering locally. As these new Volunteer Centers emerge, they will jom the 13 Centers already serving communities around the state. Agency Readiness Training A key to making a satisfactory match between volunteer and nonprofit agencies is the preparedness of the agency to tram, supervise and retain that volunteer. This cfiallenge is made even more complicated with today's increasingly diverse volunteer population and shifting resource base. With this in mina, one Campaign partner -the Volunteer Centers of Michigan- wtth funaing from the Points of Light Foundation, is s~nsoring two seminars entitled "Succeeding in the New Volunteer World" in Detroit on December 2, and in Lansing on December 3. The training will feature Susan Ellis, the internationally-renowned consultant/ trainer I author in the field of volunteer administration. Start-Up Grants To address the objective of developing and enhancing community infrastructures that support volunteering, the Campaign has secured funding from the W .K. Kellogg Foundation to develop new Volunteer Centers in communities throughout Michigan. A total of $150,000 will be awarded over a two-year period, with grants of up to $25,000 awarded in 1993 and up to $12,500 awarded in 1994. Regional Leadership Summits In addition to the local leadership summits convened by Campaign leaders with assistance from the Michigan Nonprofit Forum, a series of regional Summits is planned beginning in January to encourage top community leaders to congregate and share strategies for strengthening volunteerism locally. The effort has been enhanced greatly through the endorsement of the Michigan Assoaation of Mayors, which is encouraging its membership to lead by example in participating in the Summits. Each Summit is planned as a one-day session which will include presentations by the Campaign leadership as well as hands-on workshops designed for the various stages of community development in volunteerism. The Regional Summits are scheduled as follows: e e e e Mid-State/Lansing Northern Lower Peninsula/Gaylord East/Novi Upper Peninsula/Marquette January 23 March20 Mid-May mid-summer Technical Assistance Volunteer Centers of Michigan (VCM), a statewide association, has provided support to the Campaign in many different forms. fn the areas of techrucal assistance, VCM is working "from the inside out" to offer J>ractical assistance to each emer~g Volunteer Center through a mentor system which allows the emerging center to draw on the expertise and experience of an existing Center located nearby.

Toll-Free Volunteering Hotline The Michigan Volunteerism Resource Netw9rk C?ased in the Voluntary Action Center of Greater Lansmg) 1s now home to a toll-free volunteering hotline funded through the W.K. Kellogg Foundation and Michigan Bell. Scheduled to begin operation in early 1993 to support the Campaign, the new 800 number will enab.le Michigan residents to turn to a single source for generaltnforma~~m on. v~lun­ teering or to be linked to volunteer opporturuties wtthm their communities. Statewide Public Service Campaign A Public Relations committee chaired by First Lady Michelle Engler is now mobilizing with the goal of launching a public service media campatgn to promote use of the 800 number and create awareness about the role and existence of Volunteer Centers, as well as recruit potential volunteers. Communication specialists from media, advertising agencies and client-side business will collaborate on what is certain to be a highly visible effort. MICHIGAN Holland, May 8, 1992 . . This visit was held in conjunction wtth the grand opemng of the new Volunteer Center of Holland. Accompanying Covernor Romney was Michigan's First Lady Michelle Engler. The two presenteil their volunteerism message to 20 local leaders including the mayO!, business CEO's. and bank president although, accordmg to event orgamzers, the.atmos.phere was fflirly mformal. The message was well-recetved- m fact, according to Brenda Hunt of the United Way and a key founding participant,"This even moved us forward.more t~an a year. We can now proceed with plans that seemed tmposstble before." Detroit, July 21, 1992 As the result of a leadership luncheon hosted by United . Community servtces and featuring Governor Romney, Detrott is well on its way to launching a Year of the Volunteer fO! Southeast Michtgan in early 1993. Already! t~e leadershtp team includes the mayor and county commtsswners, as well as top leaders from business, labor and civic affairs.

In thts instance, the numbers speak for themselves: Governor Romney's message is touching some nerves or, better yet, some hearts m Michigan communities. Wit Mt. Pleasant, September 15, 1992 In a full day's schedule that some might find daunting, Governor Romney helped this commumty - planning to open its Volunteer Center doors in early 1993-to strengthen and refocus its commitment to the volunteerism cause. The day began with a breakfast address to a 150-member cross-section of the community; conti!'u~d with~ kic~-off of the United Way campaign at Central Mtchtgan Umverstty_ (becaus~ the Volunteer Center will be a aivision of the local Umted Way), a meeting. with 60 local hig~ sc~ool stuq,ents and anothe;, wtth universtty students cooramatmg the Into the Streets program; a university-hosted luncheon for 200 mf!Hbers of the bus mess community and media; and concluded wtth a tapmg of a public television show on volunteering. Citizenship Summits Midland, September 29, 1992 Since May of this year, former Michigan Governor George Romney has taken his inspiring message on volunteerism to ten co~unities throu~hou~ th~ state, with many more such vtstts planned.

I pray it is a productive year of growing, learning, and shanng for everyone. We can look at the new year as a beginning, of sorts, and a chance to re-affirm our commitment to the principles we value. One of the reasons behind the Partners frz Service initiative is our commitment to involve young people in the work of the MCSC . An easy way to do this is to bring young people to our meerings. As fate would have it, we have an outstanding group of youth nearly begging to attend! In rder to get the e fo lks involved we must pu t forth some effort. I encourage ever_ Commissioner who has been matched with a member of the MYPAC through t e Partnt:rs in Servtce initiative to invite vo rmer t the Januarv 22 meeting of the Commission in Midla,nd. J J Granted, your partner may need to be excused rom school and will probably need a ride to and from the meeting. Please don't let these minor inconveniences stand in the way of our commitment to youth involvement. Those who attended the planning retreat in Albion remember the energy and ideas the MYP AC brought to MCSC discussions ... it's valuable stuff! Enclosed please fin Li a list of the Partn~;?rs m Service miltches and a complete te ephone roster of MYPAC members.

Present background and historical data sufficient for each Commissioner to understand how the Michigan Community Service Commission was developed . 2. Provide opportunities for members of the MCSC and members of the MYP AC to interact, develop relationships, and share ideas on issues critical to the work of the Commission. 3. Identify the internal strengths and weaknesses of the Commission and the external opportunities and threats that could affect its future . 4. Identify and sequence the critical issues that the Commission must address in the next two years . 5. Identify four goal areas for focus in the next year. Retreat Chronology Friday November 20, 1992 lO:OOam -ll:OOam- Welcome and Overview At this point, only the Commissioners, the staff, Jean Burkhardt, and one MYPAC member were in attendance. The Commissioners were to spend the day taking stock of the Commission. The focus was on evaluating both ourselves as individuals and the MCSC as a group. The MYPAC was scheduled to arrive and begin the joint retreat at 5:00pm . After brief introductions and informal discussion, Diana Algra and Jean Burkhardt reviewed the retreat agenda and the planning process for the retreat and the coming year. Burkhardt introduced the SWOT analysis concept. Generally, SWOT is a small group process employed to assess a group' s internal strengths and weaknesses and external opportunities and threats . 2 �ll:OOam -12:30pm- Taking Stock of Ourselves Commissioners were divided into groups of three and four to engage in Taking Stock of Ourselves. The task was to answer the question, What resources do we The groups were given an hour to brainstorm their bring to the Commission? skills, experiences, contacts, and specific interests. Each group was then given the opportunity to report its findings to the larger group. Some results from the Taking Stock of Ourselves exercise Skills and Experiences: Commissioners and staff members found some striking similarities in their skills, and many talents unique to individuals. The following are some of the more useful skills and experiences discussed by members of the Michigan Community Service Commission: • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • Accounting and Finance Skills Business Experience Coalition Building Community Leadership Fund Raising Grant Reviewing Grant Writing Group Facilitation Motivating Others Problem Solving Public Relations and Media Skills Starting New Programs and New Organizations Strategic Planning School Ad ministration Teaching Working With Youth Writing Contacts: Through board memberships , volunteer positiOns, and other connections, MCSC Commissioners are involved with a staggering number of organizations in Michigan and across the country . In addition, many Commissioners have contact with the state's and the nation's most influential public, private, and nonprofit leaders.

Highlights include discussion of the statewide Youth Service Michigan meetings convened by the Council of Michigan Foundations, the Michigan Campus Compact, the Michigan Nonprofit Forum, and Youth Service America in the Summer of 1991. This series of three meetings brought together practitioners and participants in all streams of youth service: K-12, higher education, full-time and volunteer youth corps, and community-based programs, to discuss the "big picture" of community service in Michigan. As a direct result of these meetings, the recommendations of Youth Service America, and the strong commitment of Governor and Michelle Engler, the Michigan Community Service Commission was established in October, 1991. Discussion then turned to the development of the National and Community Service Act of 1990 and the subsequent establishment of the Commission on National and Community Service. Other major state and national community service initiatives were also discussed, at length, to provide a clear picture of both the field in Michigan and Michigan's place at the forefront of the national community service movement. 5 �3:15pm- 5:30pm- Small Group SWOT Analysis Strengths Weaknesses Opportunities Threats The Commissioners were again divided into small groups, this time to engage in intensive SWOT analysis. Small groups were given one hour to identify strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats of the past year and of the future.

Comments from the MYPAC have been fully incorporated into the summary of the overall SWOT anal ysis. Partners in Service Partners in Serv ice is the one-to-one learning program designed to increase communication and understanding between members of the MCSC and members of the MYP A C. Each MYPAC member has been matched with a Commissioner in the same geographic area. Commissioners are encouraged to meet with their Partners regularly and to invite them to any meetings of the MCSC or its Committees.

Proposals were approved as recommended. 9:00am- 12:15pm- Identifying Critical Issues and Priorities Members of the MCSC and the MYPAC worked in unison identifying and prioritizing critical issues, and defining specific goals and tasks for the Commission in the coming year. After lunch, members of the Commission departed. The MYPAC conducted a regular business meeting as a Standing Committee until 3:00pm. Critical Issues and Priori ties The Following list of critical issues is a summary of comments about the tasks and responsibilities in most urgent need of action. Members of the Commission, the MYP AC, and the staff were divided into task groups of 4 to 5 people to identify and discuss critical issues. The larger group then convened to summarize the comments and set priorities for 1993. Identified Critical Issues for 1993 • • • • • • • • • • • Addressing Staff Limitations Applying for Renewed Funding under NCSA Continuing to Network and Develop Partnerships Developing Database of Successful Program Models Defining Clear Roles for Commissioners, MYP AC Members Diversifying Funding Sources Emphasizing Public Awareness, Media Exposure Improving Internal Communication (MCSC, MYPAC, Staff) Increasing Visibility of the MCSC and Grantees Reaching Diverse Populations of Youth Working with Legislature to Ensure Permanence I I �Strategies The following are ideas presented by members of the MCSC, the MYP AC, and the staff to address identified critical issues. Strategies have been divided into four categories: Funding, Internal Communication, Public Relations, and Staff Support. Funding: The issue of long-term funding could not be separated from the issue of legislative support. It was generally agreed upon that efforts have to be made to secure permanence for the MCSC through the legislature. Specific strategies recommended include inviting various legislators to Commission functions, employing Governor and Michelle Englers' support, and engaging MYPAC members to personally visit their State Representatives and Senators. Other identified funding strategies include seeking Foundation and Corporate support, direct mail fund raising, and seeking larger individual gifts from private donors. Internal Communication: Timel y communication between Commissioners, the MYPAC, and the staff was identified as a priority. Strategies recommended to improve MCSC internal communication include developing a comprehensive calendar of events and deadlines, publishing an in-house newsletter, encouraging Commission members and MYPAC members to convene regional meetings, and strengthening the Partn ers in Service program . Public Relations: One of the most cons is ten tl y identified weaknesses/priorities for the Commission is visibility. Comments were made regarding lack of media attention, obscurity of terms like "Service-Learning" and "Volunteerism" as well as confusion over terms like "Community Service" and "National Service" . The following is the list of recommended strategies for increasing visibility and public awareness of the MCSC: • • • • Convene Local Workshops regarding Community Service and Volunteerism Develop Logo, Slogan for Broad Identification Develop Marketing Materials: Brochures, Handbooks Encourage all MCSC and MYP AC Members to Discuss MCSC and its Mission at all Public Speaking Engagements • • • • • Develop Standard "Script" to Ensure Message is Clear and Consistent Establish a Public Relations Standing Committee Produce Television and Radio Public Service Announcements (PSAs) Publicly Recognize Exemplary Programs and People Solicit Private Sector Pro-bono PR Expertise 12 �Strategies to Address Critical Issues Staff Support: The consensus regarding staff support was that members of the MCSC and the MYPAC need to become more active in the daily work of the Commission. There was also discussion of increasing the size of the staff. However, it remained clear that increased staff is only an option if the MCSC meets significant fund raising success. Other recommendations include seeking college interns to assist the staff in the Lansing office. 12:15pm - 3:00pm - Departure of Commissioners Meeting of the MYP AC Standing Committee Michigan Community Service Commission members departed between 12:00pm and 12:30pm on Saturday, November 21, 1992. The MCSC staff, retreat facilitator Jean Burkhardt, and Commissioner Terry Langston attended a regular business meeting of the Standing Committee on Youth Voice, the Michigan Youth Progressive Action Council. 13 � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Capitol A venue Olds Plaza Building, 4th Floor Lansing, Michigan 48909 (517)335-4295 ��• The National and Community Service Act Grant Program is a pool of funds appropriated by the United States Congress to help states and communities implement-the National and Community Service act of 1990. The Act seeks to revitalize the spirit of citizenship by involving millions of Americans, especially our youth, in national and community service. The hope is that service will become a daily part of life for all Americans. In the process, millions of Americans will enrich their own lives and become engaged in dealing with serious social problems which face our nation. In FY 1992 $73 million was available in four categories: SERVE America, Higher Education Collaborative for Community Service, American Conservation and Youth Corps and National and Community Service Corps. States were·invired to submit a comprehensive, iong=term pian·for building a statewide community service movement, and to submit specific proposals for projects in any or all of these categories. The state of Michigan through its lead agency, the Michigan Community Service Commission submitted proposals in all four categories, and received funding totaling $1,378,408 from the Act. Michigan's comprehensive and innovative proposal will expand and strengthen existing community service programs and initiate new community service programs in the state over the next year. The amount of funds we received in each category and the grants that were funded are outlined below. SERVE-AMERICA Michigan received $628,408 for 1992 under this category.
