The sample for the study was a random-digit dial sample of households throughout the state. Within selected households, a randomly selected individual was chosen to be interviewed from among the adult residents of the household, i.e., those who were at least 18 years of age. A total of 1,214 individuals were interviewed for the survey. The survey was designed to assess the level of volunteer community service in the state and to profile the volunteers and non-volunteers in order to provide a baseline of information for the Campaign's efforts to encourage more volunteering as a part of the solution to many of the pressing social problems in Michigan's communities. The survey found that: • Individuals were more likely to have provided volunteer service with a church or synagogue than for other kinds of groups or organizations; .. "' • 42.5 % of respondents claimed to have volunteered for a religious organization, 37.6% for schools or educational organizations, and 36.6% for work related or professional groups. Only 12.3% claimed to have volunteered for arts and cultural organizations and 18.7% for health care related organizations. The most commonly performed kinds of volunteer activities were fund-raising (48.6%), serving as a companion (47.5 %), and serving as a volunteer teacher or tutor (33 .7%); the least common activities were serving as an emergency worker (8.1 %), a hospital or health care worker (13.3%), and being a public speaker or advocate (14.4%). VOLUNTEER COMMUNITY SERVICE The individuals who engaged in one of the volunteer activities were often the same individuals who engaged in another and many of the individuals who volunteered in one organizational setting also volunteered in others. To estimate the percentage of individuals who provided time in volunteer activities, the analysis examined how many individuals volunteered for at least one type of organization or group while engaging in at least one of the activities of interest. For purposes of the analysis, the definition used focused on the direct delivery of service or assistance to individuals. The survey found that: * * 63 .7% of the respondents (± 2.7%) had performed volunteer community service in the past year; of these only 13.1% engaged in only one kind of activity. This represents a total of 4.35 million adults in Michigan (± 189,083) �-. * * The average number of hours these inclividuals claimed they spent in volunteer activities weekly was 6.54 hours. The estimated total person hours contributed this past year was 1.42 billion hours, worth an estimated $16.47 billion of labor to community service. (If one included all forms of volunteering, such as fund-raising and serving on boards and committees, and such activities on behalf of religious, professional, and political organizations, the percentage of respondents who volunteered was 73 .1%) Compared to the finclings of the 1990 national survey by Gallup: .. The adult population of Michigan appears to be volunteering at a rate similar to or slightly above the national rate, depending on how much the national rate has continued to increase since 1990. .. The hours of volunteering weekly by Michigan adults is appreciably greater than the average of 4 hours per week found by Gallup nationally. PROFILE OF COMMUNITY SERVICE VOLUNTEERS The survey provides a demographic profile of the inclividuals who contributed volunteer community service. The survey found that: • Compared to community service volunteers, non-volunteers were somewhat more likely to be female. • Compared to non-volunteers, those who provided volunteer community service tended to have greater household incomes, to have completed more education, were more likely to be in their 30's or 40's (whereas non-volunteers were more likely to be over age 65), were more likely to be employed (either full-time or part-time), to have white collar occupations, to be married, to have children living in their household, and were more likely than non-volunteers to attend religious services often. WHO VOLUNTEERS Part of the profile above is the result of how many inclividuals of the various kinds there are in the population. The analysis also examined the relative rates of community service volunteering among segments of the population. Among the key finclings, the analysis found that: • 68.1 % of males clid volunteer community service compared to 59.6% of females ; however, on average, females spent an hour more in volunteer activities weekly (7.07 hrs.) than clid males (6.05 hrs.). • There were no significant clifferences in the percentages of African American and white respondents in their rates of volunteering; however, African American respondents reported spending nearly twice as many hours in volunteer activities (10.26 hrs.) as clid their white counterparts (5 .84 hrs.). �• The percentage of individuals who volunteered generally increased with age, reaching its highest rate among those 40-49 years old, and then declined to a level among those 65 or older (43.I %) that was below that of individuals aged I8-24 (66.5%). • The percentage of individuals who volunteered increased with the level of income such that those with household incomes above $60,000 per year volunteered at a rate I 1/.! times that of respondents with household incomes of less than $10,000 per year (75.4% vs. 58.9%); but those volunteers earning lesser incomes spent more time in volunteer activities than did those with higher incomes. • Rates of volunteering increased with the individuals' levels of education; however, the volunteers in the categories that had lower rates spent more time in volunteer activities on the average than did those in categories with higher rates of volunteering. • Full-time (68.4%) and part-time (73.2%) employed individuals and students (82.0%) were more likely to volunteer than were individuals who were unemployed (53.1%), retired (50.7%), or were homemakers (48 .I %). • Married individuals volunteered at about the same rate (66.3 %) as single individuals (65.0%), but at a higher rate than divorced or separated individuals (61.9%), or widowed individuals (47.3%). WHY PEOPLE DO NOT VOLUNTEER Among the 56 respondents who said they had done volunteer work in the past but were not currently volunteering, the reasons for not volunteering: * * * 43 .0% indicated that they currently had no time. 29 .I % indicated that they either had health problems or were unable to volunteer because of their age. A few did not volunteer any more because their children or their families were no longer involved in activities or thought they had already made a sufficient contribution. Among the 67 individuals who had never volunteered: * The majority claimed their personal schedules were too full to permit time to volunteer. * The next most common reason was that the respondent, due to health problems or otherwise, was physically unable to volunteer. A few indicated they had no interest in volunteering. * Of all the individuals who had not volunteered in any way during the past year, 69.2% indicated they did not think they would volunteer next year either, 20.I % thought that they would, and 10.7% said they did not know. D 45.5 % of these non-volunteers indicated they would be more likely to volunteer if opportunities to do volunteer community service were available through their work. D Of those who thought that they would probably volunteer next year (n=23), 71. 8% �indicated that they would be more likely to volunteer if opportunities were made available through their work. 0 66.9% of those who had volunteered in previous years indicated they would be more likely to volunteer if they could do so with their family , as did 47.2% of those who had never volunteered; 72.8% of those who thought they would volunteer next year said they would be more likely to if they could do so with their families; 47.4% of those who said they did not expect to volunteer next year thought they would be more likely to volunteer if they could volunteer with their families. In comparing community service volunteers with other volunteers, the survey found that individuals who participated in volunteer community service were somewhat less likely to say they volunteered simply for altruistic purposes, i.e., to help others. Rather, they were somewhat more likely than those who did not do community service volunteering to say that the most important reasons were because of personal and instrumental interests, e.g., another family member was involved, personally enjoyed the kind of activity or experience, or wanted the work experience. • The most common sources of infonnation about opportunities were through friends or family (28 .1%) and through one's church or religious organization (15 .8%). "Through work" was the source of infonnation for 7.7% of respondents, as was "through the schools" for 7.4%. • 51.8% indicated that they usually volunteer as a part of a larger group. Those who had provided direct service to others were llh times as likely to have volunteered as a part of a group as were those who had volunteered in other ways. * Whereas 30.3% of those who perfonned volunteer community service were members of organizations other than a church or synagogue, only 14.3% of other volunteers belonged to such organizations, and * those who performed volunteer community service were somewhat more likely to be members of the kinds of organizations that would be expected to be involved in community service projects. Based on a multivariate analysis of factors related to the likelihood of individuals engaging in volunteer community service, the most powerful predictors were found to be the number of children present in the household, religiosity, the household's level of income, the level of education, membership in organizations other than churches, being non-white. Controlling for other variables, there was no significant effect of age, marital status, employment, or gender on the likelihood of engaging in volunteer community service. WHAT WOULD MAKE IT MORE LIKELY THAT INDIVIDUALS WOULD VOLUNTEER MORE? In response to questions about the possible effectiveness of proposed mechanism for increasing community service volunteering, the survey found that: * 46.3 % of respondents who had done some sort of volunteering in the past year said they would be more likely to volunteer if a toll-free number to help individuals find �opportunities to do volunteer community service were available. * * * 32.0% of those who had volunteered in some way indicated that they would be likely to increase the amount of time they spend volunteering either slightly (22.7%) or greatly (9.3%) if there were opportunities to volunteer through their work. 41.2% of those who had volunteered in some way indicated that they would increase the amount of time they spend volunteering either slightly (23.3%) or greatly (17 .9%) if they could volunteer with their families. 57.4% of all respondents indicated that knowing that a Volunteer Center was available in their community would make them more likely to volunteer. Both community service volunteers and non-volunteers recognized the same groups or individuals as good examples of volunteerism. This suggests that the role models that work well for one group of would-be volunteers would work as w,ell for the other. However, it may be reassuring to many volunteers and would-be volunteers to know that many of those who volunteer do so for a variety of reasons, many of which are not purely altruistic. POSSIBLE STRATEGIES • Encourage those who are already more likely to volunteer to contribute an extra hour or two per week in direct service to others beyond what they are already sharing . • Encourage more individuals in those groups that volunteer at relatively lower rates to become involved in volunteer activities. Increasing the volunteer rates among these groups may be doubly effective in that these individuals, once involved, seem to put in more time as well. • Providing opportunities to volunteer through work or with family members could have some positive affect on the number of individuals who volunteer. To enlist these kinds of non-volunteers, it also seems likely that some effort would have to be made to make them more aware of the full range of possible volunteer activities, including those that might require little in the way of physical activities, such as being a companion , or a mentor. For others, pointing out opportunities to volunteer that would require only infrequent or brief episodes of activity might induce their participation. • Emphasizing the intrinsic rewards and instrumental benefits associated with volunteer work for the would-be volunteer, in addition to the benefits to others, may encourage some to become involved that otherwise might not. • Persuade more clubs and organizations to become involved in community service projects that directly alleviate social problems or to persuade the clubs and organization to become involved in mi2I.£. social problem-solving projects. • Encourage existing clubs and organizations to broaden the base of their memberships. • The proportion who identified "helping match individual volunteers to service activities" �as an important service of the Volunteer Centers and the proportions that did not know anything of the centers' services suggests that the centers will be of limited effectiveness in increasing volunteerism unless they become better known as a community resource. • Helping individuals to understand how volunteering benefits themselves and their communities as well as other individuals may increase the percentage of individuals who volunteer or the amount of time they spend volunteering. • While it may be useful to present attractive role models who are admirable because of their unselfish, dedicated service to others, that may be a seemingly unattainable, perhaps unrealistic, role model for a large number of would-be volunteers . Also present role models who are more "common" -- individuals who make a contribution to their communities, to others, but in amounts and ways that are not so spectacularly committed or altruistic. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

MILLER, Director August 16, 1993 Dear Colleague: Michigan implemented a welfare reform initiative, "To Strengthen Michigan Families," in October 1992. Enclosed is the quarterly Status Report covering the period from October through June 1993 with data on each of the 21 directions for change. This is not an evaluation of the program, but a reflection of data and trends to date. Because the program is so new, and many of the reporting methods are new also, it will be some time before firm conclusions or findings will be available on all of the directions. A formal evaluation will be conducted by an outside consultant. We are especially pleased with the results reported for Direction 5: Rewarding Earned Income. In September 1992, 15.7% (33,589) of the AFDC caseload reported income from employment. By June 1993, the numbers had grown to 20.5% (45,882). I hope you find this report useful. It will be reissued periodically (probably quarterly) as new data becomes available. If you have any questions, please contact the Office of Communications at (517)373-7394. Gerald H. Miller �To Strengthen Michigan Families Status Report October 1992 Through June 1993 This report highlights the preliminary data on "To Strengthen Michigan Families," Michigan's welfare reform program. It is llQl an evaluation, but an indication of progress. The department has contracted with a private finn for a formal evaluation. This data has been assembled from many source documents and may differ from data displayed in various departmental publications. The final data will be gathered, analyzed and displayed by the private evaluator. No conclusions have been, or should be , drawn from the data and its use is subject to careful interpretation. IDirection 1: Expanding EDGE (Education Designed for Gainful Employment) I Expectation: An increase in the number of participants successfully completing EOOE and gaining employment will occur. Outcome: From January through June 1992, more than 2,000 individuals were enrolled in EOOE with 66.1% successfully completing the program. Of the graduates from the first EOOE classes, 23.1% were employed. Currently almost 3,000 students are enrolled in EOOE. Status: The number ofEOOE sites increased from 22 school districts in 1992 to 53 districts this fiscal year. The number of participants increased. Completion and outcome data for July through December 1992 will be available this August. Direction 2: Expanding Entrepreneurial Training Expectation: A greater number of Aid to Families with Dependent Children (AFDC) clients will participate in the employment training program. Outcome: The latest entrepreneurial session in Detroit graduated 19 recipients on June 23, 1993. Including the 180 who had already graduated, the program has now trained 199 people. Currently 92 businesses are operating in the greater Detroit area. Status: The program has been expanded to the City of Pontiac. This second site should be operational by early fall, 1993. Additional data will not be available for some time. I Direction 3: Eliminating the Work-History Requirement Expectation: In a two-parent family, the requirement that one of the parents must have a recent work history for the family to be eligible for public assistance has been eliminated. Families are being encouraged to remain together. An increase in the AFDC-U (Unemployed parent) caseload was anticipated. Outcome: The AFDC-U caseload has increased by over 9,000: from 24,250 cases in September 1992 to 33,343 cases in June 1993. Over 5,000 of these cases were transferred from SFA (State Family Assistance). Status: No long-term conclusions can be drawn at this time. However, because those families are now eligible for AFDC and Medicaid, the related costs of the 100% state-funded SFA and SMP (State Medical Program) programs are being saved. I Direction 4: Eliminating the 100-Hour Work Limitation Expectation: In a two-parent family, if one of the parents worked more than 100 hours per month, the family could not receive AFDC. Elimination of this policy encourages two-parent families to seek employment or to increase their hours of employment. The earnings of these families will increase over time. Outcome: The number of AFDC-U cases reporting earned income increased every month from 8,300 (36.5%) in October 1992 to 10,604 (38.3%) in June 1993. The monthly average earnings were $485 per family during the nine-month period. Status: It is too early to tell whether this eligibility change will have a long-range impact on the caseload. �IDirection 5: Rewarding Earned Income I Expectation: New income incentives will encourage recipients to seek employment or to increase their hours of employment. The number of cases closed due to excess income is expected to increase over time. Outcome: The number of AFDC cases reporting earned income increased from 33,589 (15 .7%) in September 1992 to 45,882 (20.5%) in June 1993. The average earnings were $403 during the nine-month period. Status: The increase in earned income cases exceeds expectations. It is too early to tell whether it is a result of policy changes or the state's improved employment rate. !Direction 6: Excluding the Earnings and Savings of Youth I Expectation: More youth will become employed part time and save for their future. Status: Measurements for this direction have not been compiled at this time. IDirection 7: Fostering Family Preservation I Expectation: More families will stay together or be reunited through the efforts of our family preservation initiatives. The number of children in out-of-home placements will decrease. Families will be strengthened, the risk to health and/or safety will be removed, and children will be able to remain in their own homes. Where it is not possible for children to remain with, or return to their families, parental rights will be terminated quickly and the children will be placed for adoption as soon as possible. Outcome: The number of children in out-of-home placements resulting from abuse, neglect, or delinquency decreased 9.8% from May 1992 (14,334) to June 1993 (12,934). The majority of other states have seen an escalation in out-of-home placements. During 1992, the number of adoptions of state wards rose 27%: Including an increase of 66% in adoptions of black children and a 29% increase in teen adoptions. Status: It is too early to draw any conclusions from this data. !Direction 8: Expanding Child Support Initiatives I Expectation: Both the number of court orders and the amount of child support collected will increase. Outcome: Of all the methods of collection available, only the percentage of support collections made through income withholding has increased. Two pieces of legislation have passed and become law, to date: Reporting of arrearages to credit bureaus; and hospital paternity acknowledgment. Over 80 pieces of legislation pending before the legislature will provide the additional tools necessary to increase collections, and are needed to make this direction successful. Status: In addition to the lack of statutory authority needed to accomplish this objective, recent changes in federal income withholding have resulted in decreased tax refunds which will have a negative effect on collections from the tax intercept system. !Direction 9: Targeting the Children's Disability Initiative J Expectations: By pursuing SSI (Supplemental Security Income) payment for the disabled child as a result of the Zebley vs. Sullivan U.S. Supreme Court decision, the income of AFDC families with disabled children will increase. Outcome: The number of children in AFDC families who received SSI was 1,085 in March 1990; had increased to 5,295 in September 1992; and had jumped to 7,345 in March 1993. (Numbers are estimated based on a sample). Status: The trend is clearly in the right direction. The Department of Social Services will not discriminate against any individual or group because of race, sex, religion, age, national origin, color, marital status, disability, or political beliefs. Michigan Department of Social Services Office of Communications Quantity Printed: 1,500 Cost: $150.00 (.1000 ea.) Authority: DSS Director �Direction 10: Improving Children's Health through EPSDT Expectations: The number of eligible children screened by EPSDT will increase to 80% by 1995. Outcome: An unduplicated total of 153,548 children received screenings between October 1992 and June 1993. However, the number of recipients now covered by managed care programs has increased by 70%. In Apri11992 managed care was operational in 10 counties and expanded to 74 counties by June 1993. A recent contract change with HMO's holds them responsible for screening children covered by these programs. This frees public health departments to increase their screening priorities to children who are not HMO covered. The total number of children with access to EPSDT services should increase dramatically. Status: In 1992, only 19% of eligible Medicaid children under 21 were screened. IDirection 11: Maternal and Infant Support Services (MIS) I Expectations: Provision of MIS services will help to reduce Michigan's infant mortality rate. Outcome: This program expansion began in January 1993. No data is yet available. IDirection 12: Developing a Child Care Strategy Expectation: The different child care programs will be combined and a unified payment system will be instituted. The number of families receiving assistance with child care will increase with the help of federal funds. Child-care rates will be increased and support for child development programs will also be expanded. Outcome: A unified Child Care Services program combining four different day care programs was instituted in July, 1992. Child care for employed AFDC recipients remains outside this system and continues to be deducted from earned income. In FY '92, a monthly average of 14,184 families received day care assistance. In the first halfofFY '93 alone, an average of 17,839 families received assistance each month. Rates will be increased before the end of 1993. Five Head Start programs are being supplemented to full day programs. Status: More families are receiving day care assistance. Direction 13: Helping Minor Parents on Assistance Expectations: Over time, the number of minor parents living outside their parents homes will decrease. Outcome: To date the data shows no discernible pattern. !Direction 14: Improving the Child Adoption Process Expectation: The number of adoptions will increase and the length oftime children wait for adoption will decrease. Status: The majority of the adoption legislation is still pending before the legislature. !Direction 15: Creating the Social Contract Expectation: Recipients of public assistance will be involved in productive activities for at least 20 hours each week. Outcome: Of those people expected to participate in the Social Contract, the percentage involved in productive activities has increased every month. During June 1993, of those expected to participate 48% did so for at least 20 hours per week. An additional 13% participated between one and nineteen hours for a total of 61% participation. Status: Preliminary data shows that clients are productively involved. It is too early to identify any trends or barriers to social contract performance. !Direction 16: Implementing Higher Aims I Expectation: School attendance of Kindergarten through fifth grade students will improve. Status: Two bills are currently before the legislature. Without passage oflegislation, we are unable to implement this direction. �irection 17: Focusing on Family Planning Expectation: Unplanned pregnancies will be reduced by educating the citizens of this state through two approaches. The first is that abstinence is the best way to avoid unplanned pregnancy and venereal disease. Second, we must assure access to information about contraception. Outcome: The Department of Public Health has the lead on this effort. A large media campaign on pregnancy avoidance is underway. DSS has awarded contracts in 17 high risk areas of the state to provide supportive services and counseling to pregnant teens and young parents. The outcomes will be more long-range than short-range. Status: There is no measurement instrument for this direction at this time. !Direction 18: Enhancing Fraud Control Expectation: Fewer recipients will commit fraud and the amount of money recouped as a result of fraud cases will increase. Outcome: Through the addition of new staff in county offices and the Office of the Inspector General, much activity has occurred in this area. In the first quarterofFY-93, recoupments averaged $945,700 per month: Second quarter, $1,103,000: Third quarter, $1,190,400. Status: Recoupments are up. Data is not yet available on the fraud component. IDirection 19: Expanding Communities First Expectation: Services designed to meet the needs of the community as defined by the community will help families access services more productively and independently. The pilots being developed in Muskegon's Nelson Neighborhood, Benton Harbor, Highland Park and the Village of Capac in St. Oair County will be expanded by one more site. Outcome: The original four pilot sites are proceeding in the planning stages with defined focal points of their community needs. A fifth site, Flint, has been added as a pilot and is being coordinated through the Flint Mayor's office and the Department of Public Health. Status: A separate evaluation of Communities First pilots will be conducted. Results will be available annually. !Direction 20: Developing Youth Education Alternatives I Expectation: The state must provide for the education of all youth through age 18, especially youth who are expelled from school. The state will assure the availability of alternative educational opportunities; funding will follow the youth to the entity providing those services. Training school programs will become accredited and the Department of Education will participate in the funding of those educational programs. Outcome: As determined by a statewide survey, the network of non-traditional education models in Michigan is strong. The Departments of Education and Social Services have developed a model that would target expelled students with a job training component. Status: This objective is consistent with the work being done by the newly created Jobs Commission. The model will be pursued with the Jobs Commission. !Direction 21: Increasing Housing Options I Expectation: Housing resources will be targeted toward communities and neighborhoods that integrate housing with education, job training, and community-based efforts to increase their families' ability to be self-sufficient. Success will be measured in the number of DSS recipients who become productive through training, being hired or fulfilling their social contract expectation through housing rehabilitation. Outcome: MSHDA and DSS jointly awarded $1.5 million to non-profit agencies in Berrien, Genesee, Ingham, Kent, Muskegon, and Wayne counties. Projects will involve acquisition and rehabilitation of existing housing and the construction of five single-family houses. All will use trainees for construction and several projects will use DSS recipients in nonconstruction areas also. All six projects are in various stages of the planning phase. �THE WHITE HOUSE WASHINGTON OUTLINE OF LEGISLATION NATIONAL AND COMMUNI1Y SERVICE TRUST ACT The national service initiative is designed to tackle the nation's problems by mobilizing Americans of every background, and particularly young people, in service to our communities and country. The programs extends support for service from the youngest elementary students to our oldest citizens, and includes everything from parttime volunteer activities to full-time public service jobs. The centerpiece of the effort to support service is a new program to offer educational awards to Americans who make a substantial commitment to service. In addition to this program, which builds on the youth corps and demonstration programs of the National and Community Service Act of 1990, the National and Community Service Trust Act includes: • Extension and improvement of programs in the National and Community Service Act of 1990 that enhance elementary and secondary education through community service in schools, support aft_er-school and summer programs for school-age youth, and fund service programs on college campuses. • Support for the Civilian Community Corps, to provide service opportunities in areas adversely affected by defense ·cutbacks. • Support for the Points of Light Foundation, to support volunteerism. • Extension and improvement of VISTA and the Older American Volunteer Programs authorized by the Domestic Volunteer Service Act. • Acceleration of implementation for the Stafford Loan Forgiveness program. �NATIONAL SERVICE INITIATIVE Focus of Service • National service must address unmet educational, environmental, human, or public safety needs. • The Corporation and State Commissions must establish priorities among these .needs that programs must address. • National service must improve the life of the participants, through citizenship education and training. • Participants may not displace or duplicate the functions of existing workers. Corporation for National Service Structure • The national service program will be administered by a government Corporation for National Service, created by combining two existing independent federal agencies, the Commission on National and Community Seryice and ACTION. The Corporation will be responsible for administering all programs authorized • under the National and Community Service Act and Domestic Volunteer Service Act, including VISTA and the Older American Volunteer Programs. The Corporation will also fund training and technical assistance, service clearinghouses and other activities. • The Corporation will have authority to combine the functions of the two sets of programs in order to reduce bureaucracy, but will maintain the distinct operational features of the VISTA and Older American Volunteer programs. • Current ACTION employees will transfer into the Corporation within the civil service system, but other employees will be governed by a more flexible, merit-based, competitive personnel system exempt from certain civil service requirements. • In order to build private and non-government support, the Corporation may solicit and accept private funds. Governance • The Corporation will have a fifteen-member volunteer Board of Directors appointed by the President and confirmed by the Senate.

State Commissions may not operate programs, though they may fund State agencies that do. • State commissions must allocate at least 60 percent of their funds to non-State entities. Allocation of Funds • States submitting plans approved by the Corporation will receive one-third of funds according to a population-based formula and one-third on a competitive basis. • One-third of funds will be allocated directly by the Corporation. Programs eligible for priority consideration include federal programs, national nonprofit organizations operating multiple programs or competitive grant programs, national service initiatives in more than one State and meeting priority needs, proposals to replicate successful programs in more··than one-State, professional corps,~ and innovative national service programs. In cases of programs of comparable quality, there is a general priority for non-profit organizations. States may also receive certain of these funds.

These include communities designated as economically disadvantaged, environmentally distressed, adversely affected by reductions in defense spending, adversely affected by Federal land management practices, or areas of high unemployment. Fifty percent of assistance should be distributed to these areas, with a priority for recruitment from such areas. Funding • All participants will receive educational awards. • To develop programs, one-year planning grants will be available. To support national service participants, three-year renewable grants will be available for program expansion or replication. • Administrative costs will be limited to five percent of all grants other than planning grants. • Programs must pay 15 percent of the stipend and health care benefits in cash and 25 percent of other program costs receiving federal support. The 25 percent match may be in cash or in kind from any source other than programs funded under the National and Community Service or Domestic Voh.mteer Service Acts. • Federal funds must supplement, not supplant, State and local dollars. 5 �Participants Eligibility • Individuals may serve before, during, or after post-secondary education. • In general, participants may be age 17 or older.

Educational Awards • Educational awards of $4,725 will be provided for a term of full-time service. Educational awards may be used to repay loans for higher education or to pay for higher education or training. • Educational awards will be federally funded and deposited into a national service trust on behalf of all participants accepted into the program. Organizations and individuals may donate funds to support national service participants in the donor's community. 6 �• Payments will be made directly to qualified post-secondary educational institutions, including two- and four-year colleges, training programs, and graduate or professional progr~; • In the case of participants with outstanding loan obligations for qualified educational activities, awards will be paid directly to lenders. • Awards must be used within seven years of completion of a term of service. Stipends • Programs will set stipends within guidelines. Programs may provide stipends no less than the amount received by VISTA volunteers and ,no greater than twice that amount.

CAPITOL AVENUE OLDS PLAZA, 4TH FLOOR P.O. BOX 30015 LANSING MICHIGAN 48909 TEL. (517) 335-4295 LOWELL W. PERRY, Director MEMORANDUM TO: Michigan Community Service Commission Members FROM: Diana Algra, Executive Director of Michigan Community Service Commission Executive Committee of the Michigan Community Service Commission RE: Update on the National and Community Service Trust Act of 1993 DATE: October 18, 1993 Enclosed are a number of pieces which will provide you with information on the recently passed National and Community Service Trust Act of 1993. They include: * * * Summary of the Legislation National Service and the States Timeline We are excited about the resources and opportunities available to Michigan through the new legislation. Since the passage of the National and Community Service Act of 1990, the state has been on the cutting edge of the youth service field. Over the last two years Michigan has received over $3 million to support K-12, Higher Education, Youth and Conservation Corps and National Service programs. The state has been one of only fifteen National Service Demonstration Model grants and one of only five youth voice grants given by the National Commission on Community Service. In addition, the Michigan Community Service Commission (MCSC), both its structure and accomplishments, has been recognized as a national model. MCSC has been highlighted by the National Commission at national and regional meetings, and is being featured in a case study document developed by the Commission. The MCSC also receives numerous requests from other state's to provide assistance in developing a state commission and plan. In order to maintain our leadership status in the field and to access the resources available to states through the 1993 Act requires that a state establish/designate a "state commission." Michigan is in a unique position in that it already has a state commission which with minor modifications will meet the requirements regulated by the legislation. To ensure compliance we must: * Ml Examine our current Commission makeup to determine party affiliation - no more than 50% plus 1 can be from any one party. �Michigan Community Service Commission Members Page2 October 18, 1993 * Expand the number of Commissioners to 25. The current Commission has 21 members, but the new legislation allows up to 25 members. It also requires that certain constituencies be represented. At this time I would recommend that we expand the number of Commissioners to 25 and that we fill the following constituency bases: Representative of an older Americans program Representative of a local government Representative of an Indian Nations * In addition, it is required that the head of the State Education Agency (state superintendent) now sit as a voting member on the "State Commission." * Add to our list of official ex-officio members the State ACTION Director. The 1993 legislation also outlines a set of broad functions for state commissions. The five functions outlined include: 1) development of a three-year plan and establishment of state priorities 2) pre-selection of programs and application to the Corporation, and administration of grant 3) training and technical assistance 4) recruitment and placement 5) coordination of all state grantees To assist state commissions in performing these functions the Corporation is making resources available in the form of administrative cost grants. These administrative cost grants range from $125,000- $750,000, are population based and will require a 15% match in the first year from the state (the required match will increase each year). Requested funds cannot be used to supplant existing administrative funds. At this time the Executive Committee would suggest that we do the following to position ourselves to access both the administrative and program money available from the Corporation: * Reissue our current executive order to bring our commission into compliance with the requirements of the 1993 Act. * Draft a letter from the Governor to the Corporation designating the Michigan Community Service Commission (MCSC) as the "state commission" and MCSC's executive director as the lead contact. * Develop a five to eight page plan and budget which indicates how the state commission will perform outreach, technical assistance and run a grants competition in order to access administrative cost funds. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

How are equity concerns specifically addressed? (Give page references.) Under the SERVE-Mic higan Grant Program, all appli cants must assure the participation of children and teachers from private schools (page 1b of application) and complianc e with non-discrimination in any program or activity funded under the grant award (page 1a of application). Under the Qualifications of Personnel review criterion (page 13 of application), applicants must provide "evidence that, to the extent possible, the applicant will give preference in program staffing to groups that have traditionally been under-represented, such as handicapped persons, women, the elderly, and members of racial or ethnic minority groups." Under both the School-Based Service-Learning Program and the Community-Service Program categories, state funding priorities include the involvement of "students from both public and private schools and individuals of different ages, races, sexes, ethnic groups, abilities and disabilities, and economic backgrounds serving together" and a programmatic emphasis on dropout prevention. The Adult Volunteer and Partnership Program category also has focus on at-risk students . 2. If equity concerns have not been included, provide rationale for such exclusion. Equity concerns have been included. 3. Describe what impact this item and accompanying staff recomcandation(s) would have on protected groups . The SERVE-Michigan Grant Program is designed to provide service-learn ing opportunities for all students. At-risk students are targeted as major program participants in th e Community Service Program and the Adult Volunteer an d Partnership Program categories. Both these programs and the School-Based Service-Learning Program include a focus on dropout pre v ention. The overwhelming majority of programs recommended for funding has as their target group persons from protected groups, such as min ority stu dents and students with handicaps, females, and senior citizens. 4. Describe the evaluation measures to be used to assure accountability for this equity component. (Give page references.) Reports on project ob j ectives and results are required of all successful app licants (page 10 of application). An interim report must be provided to the Department of Education 5 months after the grant is awarded. A final report must be submitted within 30 days of the project's ending date. In addition, program data are collected periodically by the Commission on National and Community Servic e through its Evaluation Information System. A required part of the data collected includes the identification of program participants by racejethnicity and other characteristics (teen parent, homeless, economically disadvantaged, educationally disadvantaged). Both the e v aluation reports and the EIS reporting process will be used to monitor compliance with the equity component.

Information/Materials Clearing house: 2. MSU K-12 Service-Learning Center 106I The Center will continue de veloping its clearingho use capabi l ities in collaboration with the Nat ion al Youth Leadersh i p Council through: soliciting, e valu at ing and de veloping curriculum materials into a manual available for distribution, at cost, to assist classroom teach ers and other p ractitioners in ser vic e- learning; devel o ping a framework for a "model curriculum'' for infusing service-learn i ng into various content areas, grade levels, and soc io -econom ic status c o ntexts; creating a statewide network of practitioners available upon request; iden tifying and evaluating models of service-learn i ng, particularly in the Center's five Generator School s, to produce and d istribute a manual on a cost recover y basis. Staff and Participant Training: 3. American Youth Foundation 101S A series of three service-learning awareness worksh o ps i s targeted for 3 distinct au diences : communitybased agency personnel (implementation practices necessary for operationaliz i ng service - learning practices); school admini strators and teachers (strateg y formulation for creating service-learning programs); a nd students ( e mpowerme nt and leadership skills training to become advocates for inclusion of service-learning within curricular programs) in order to de velop a team approach to vi si oning, initiating and implementing programs. A three - day in s titute will follow for teams to develop the skills necessary for de sig ning and impl emen ting servicelearning programs. 4. MSU K-12 Service-Learning Center 107S This proposal involve s the coordination, de velopment and dissemination of service-learning through a coordinated plan of training to provide maximum access to school districts throughout the state and to advance the service-learning movement in Michigan by dev e loping specialized advanced training. The project has the same elements as the Awareness Project but takes the work to an ad v anced le v el and includes a collaboratively developed and implemented series of one - and two-day ad v anced work s hop s for practitioners, y ou th, and agencies i nvolved in service-learning. Evaluation Materials and Assista nce: 5.

SCHOOL-BASED SERVICE-LEARNING PROGRAMS: New Programs: 6. Benton Harbor Area Schools/Jefferson Center 217N The program will inser v ice and su pply materials for school staff on how to implement student-generate d community service projects and how to infuse learning into this acti vit y . The community service-learning program will be further bolstered by the offer of mini-grants to classrooms/group of students to fund their ser vice projects. A large portion of the grant will fund a communit y ser vice-learning project which will be implemented at a junior high school in which five teachers are planning a multidisciplinary project approaching the local problems of hunger/poverty and/or dealing with beautification and cleanup of a city lot/block. An advisory board will be f ormed which will also screen the studentgenerated mini-grant applicati on s and allocate funds for their proposed ser vic e-learning projects. 7. Berrien County Intermediate School District 284N The program will: form a Berrien County Service-Learning Advisory Council; formalize a partnership with the Southwestern Michigan Volunteer Center; integrate service-learning into the curriculum, especially through the Focus 2000 training for teachers; authorize mini -grants to student groups who develop service-learn ing projects; promote service-learning in the county newspaper, schoo l board meetings, PTA meetings, etc; expand The Drop Stops Here (dropout prevention pilot) to include service-learning opportunities; disseminate Proj ect Cloverleaf in other communities; and explore instituting a youth -dri v en, service-learning task force to research Berrien County needs. 8. Caro Community Schools 245N Jail prisoners incarcerated for drug and alc oho l offenses will be interviewed by GOAL (Gaining Opportunities through Alternati ve Learning) students. These interviews will be videotaped, edited and then a program will be developed on the negative effects of drug and alcohol involvement. This program will be presented to middle school students throughout the county. 9. Detroit Davison Elementary School 285N Together, students will work with the community to create a safe play area for young children and a nature area which will become a focus of pride for the community. Trained high school and elementary student volunteers will run a recreation program after school and on Saturdays for younger children. A nature area wil l provide a community focus for students to provide information to the community about th e cultivation and care of plants. Students will also provide outdoor plants to community residents. En vi ronmental responsibility will be taught to the students . who will pro vid e a site for community recycling and use recyclables to make bird feeders that they wi ll distribute to community residents. 10. Detroit Hampton Elementary School 239M Phase II of the school-based service model is the expansion of service-learning opportunities for the schoolwide Adopt-A-Shelter Project. The project will include forty middle school (eighth and ninth grade) students, who will be trained to become direct volunteers at Interim House in areas already identified in the joint needs assessment. Service-learning opportunities will be integrated into the core curricula of both the elementary and middle school participant population, utilizing a television and Broadcast Arts program already in place at the middle school. The project is youth leadership oriented . 11. Grand Rapids Public Schools-City High School 249N In cooperation with the school's community partners, students will make presentations to neighborhood associations and PTA groups to encourage greater citizen participation in the court and jury system.

Each grantee was requested to submit a proposal outlining their plans for 93-94 year in addition to a year end report. Based on their proposals, I would like to recommend that the following agencies be awarded funding for year two. Youth Volunteer Corps: This youth corps model is one that encourages youth ages 12-17 to involve themselves in "team" community service projects that address critical social needs. The model recruits college age youth as team leaders that engage the younger youth in summer long term projects. Michigan currently has nine of these models in our state. During our first funding cycle (111993 - 911993), the Michigan Community Service Commission provided funding to eight programs. Five were new initiatives and three had been in operation 1 to 2 years before. Our recommendation to the Commission is that we provide continuation funding to seven of the eight we funded last cycle. One of our agencies lost their funding in mid-year due to questions regarding their financial stability (Wayne Metro). United Community Services stepped in to pick up the void left when Wayne Metro closed its doors. �New Youth Volunteer Corps Models Requesting Funding During our first request for proposal cycle for 1992-93, both Flint and Grand Rapids were sent availability of funds applications. Both decided not to pursue them at that time. We promissed to maintain them on our data base for 1993-94 cycle. Both agencies decided to submit applications this cycle. Our funding cap to each was $10,000. Full-time Urban Corps During our first funding cycle, the Michigan Community Service Commission provided funds to two communities; Flint and Grand Rapids. The Flint Youth Service Corps was a full-time corps already in operation. During its funding year it had 66 participants involved at various levels. Fifteen (15) participants completed their GED, nineteen (19) were placed in unsubsidzed employment and six (6) continued their training in post-secondary education or skills trades. Unfortunately, due to reductions from their local JTPA, the program had to temporarily cease its program until additional funds could be secured. Their request is for a total of $58,895. This would be $28,295 of unexpended 92-93 funding and $30,600 of 93-94 funding. This funding level will permit the Flint Youth Service Corps to provide a corps opportunity for 37 youth. Total program cost is $290,184. Other funders are the City of Flint CDBG, JTPA and a grant from the Citizens Bank LOEB Trust. Grand Rapids We are currently awaiting their second year grant proposal. Our year one funding permitted the Grand Rapids community to establish a community-wide steering committee to explore the feasability and support for a full-time urban corps that would be modeled after "City Year'' in Boston. Tum over in the Program Director position delayed the start up of the project's planning grant. They have expressed a need for an additional year of funding that would permit them to frnalize their community planning, establish and secure a fund development base and implement a summer pilot program. We anticipate their request to no more than $30,000. �Continuing Youth Volunteer Corps Models Agency Funding 1992-93 Participants Service Hours 1993-94 Impacted 1993-94 Request 1993-94 Anticipated 1993-94 Impacted UCS of Metro Detroit $15k/13,539 300 5k n/a $25k 12k 5k Marquette/ Alger lSD $15k 117 1500 n/a $10k 250 7500 SW Mich.

The Commission and the MYPAC submitted a grant for $27,500 to the Commission National and Community Service under Title E-Youth Voice. The Commission and the MYPAC received the grant with the fund level at $25,000 and currently is in the implementation stage of administrating the money. MYPAC Meetings Travel and Meetings: $5,000 As a Standing Committee the MYPAC has the right and responsibility to introduce policies and programs to the full Commission, and to review all issues before action is taken by the MCSC. Moreover, two members of the MYPAC are also full voting members of the MCSC. The MYPAC is thrilled to serve as a model and provide technical assistance for developing statewide youth councils to California, Maryland, New Jersey, Ohio, and Pennsylvania. Because Michigan is a large state, convening the MYPAC is cumbersome and expensive. We manage these issues by convening small groups of MYPAC members regionally and by involving them, locally, with MCSC grantees, volunteer centers, and other relevant initiatives. In order to effectively facilitate strong youth voice at the state level, we feel the MYPAC must meet at least quarterly. Youth Speakers Bureau Printing, Training, & Travel Stipends: $4,000 There is an amazing untapped resource in Michigan: Youth as trainers, facilitators, keynote speakers, and workshop presenters. We see a need for identifying a strong pool of young people, training them, and marketing the idea of youth as resources for all youth oriented conferences, trainings, workshops, and seminars. Youth speakers and trainers would also be available to schools and community-based organizations for on-site training and speaking. Recognition Program No funding requested The Michigan Youth Progressive Action Council (MYPAC) introduces a unique approach to recognizing outstanding youth volunteers and service programs. We have designed at-shirt and a letter of congratulations from Michigan Governor John Engler and Michigan Community Service Commission (MCSC) Chairperson Michelle Engler. Based loosely on former Presidents Bush's Daily Points of Light, this recognition package will be presented to any outstanding young person or program which merits special recognition. To augment the highly structured and competitive annual Michigan Community Service Awards of the MCSC, the MYPAC recognition program has no application process and no deadlines. The idea is to simply recognize outstanding efforts on an on-going basis. We will use our networks in the K-12, Higher Education, Youth Corps, and Nonprofit communities to identify the people and programs in Michigan which really define the youth service movement in our state. Our YES Ambassador will be responsible for disseminating awards and keeping accurate records of recipients. �Program Visits Travel Expense Grants & Training: $5,000 There is a significant number of outstanding service-learning and community service programs in Michigan. We would love to see many of them replicated. However, ours is a large and diverse state. The MCSC sees a need to facilitate opportunities for young people interested in starting or improving service initiatives to see how truly outstanding programs work. The MCSC will identify outstanding programs and prepare them as hosts and trainers. We will publish a directory briefly describing these programs and the specific areas in which they are exemplary (e.g. recruitment, reflection, community support). We will then make small travel expense grants available to young people to visit these programs for a day to see how they work and to discuss replication with program designers, managers, and participants. Our YES Ambassador will provide follow-up training and technical assistance to all Program Visit participants. Youth Action Forums $8,000 Competitive Sub-grant Program We would like to support the Youth Action Forum efforts throughout the state. To facilitate effective forums, we will develop an RFP which specifies quality assurance including principles of best practice. Local communities will be invited to compete for funding. Our YES Ambassador will work in new sites to organize a local planning coalition and provide training on the Youth Action Forum process. Statewide Conference on Youth Service and Philanthropy Facilities & Logistics: $5,000 A Cross-stream conference for young people on service-learning, community service, and youth as resources scheduled for Spring, 1994. Youth Engaged in Service (YES) Ambassador No Funding Requested Michigan has been honored as a Points of Light Foundation Youth Engaged in Service (YES) Ambassador Host State since 1991. Our YES Ambassadors have been a critical part of nearly all youth voice activities facilitated by the MCSC. The Ambassadors have been invaluable in the daily work of the Commission. In addition, our Ambassadors conceived, developed, and continue to provide staff support to the Michigan Youth Progressive Action Council. Moreover, although the MYPAC will coordinate and manage the following initiatives, it is the YES Ambassador who will provide the necessary staff support to make them a reality. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Once dominated by big units of business, unions and government, the Motor State is now forced to look for strength from its smaller units- small business, individuals, and local government. With this growing focus on individuals and smaller institutions coupled with a history of creative social policy, it is no surprise that community service and volunteerism is thriving and has had a long history in the state. Before passage of the National and Community Service Act of 1990, there was already lots going on in terms of service. ACTION had developed a wide network of programs throughout the state. The state of Michigan has provided funds to ACTION's Older American Volunteer Program since 1976. From an original allocation of $76,000 the state's contribution rose to over $4,120,000 at its peak. The Volunteers in Michigan Commissio~1 was started with funds from ACTION during the Miliken administration. Through the Commission, ACTION funded a program called the Program for Local Service which was a state VISTA program. Over 50 full time volunteers served each year during the three year grant period. The Volunteers in Michigan Commission was phased out in 1980 because of the state recession at the time. In addition, the Department of Education operated the Michigan Partnerships Program, a public/private sector initiative, and had been working with the Michigan School Volunteers, an association that places individuals as volunteers in schools. Various districts and communities had already developed a national reputation for what was happening in their respective districts. The Detroit School District made community service mandatory. The requirement, however, is somewhat nebulous and is being administered unevenly throughout the district because of no consistent understanding of what the requirement is intended to mean. Three Youth Volunteer Corps were already operating in the state, as was an Urban Corps Expansion Program, located in Flint. A number of state corps had been established under Governor Blanchard in the 1980's including the Michigan Youth Corps, The Michigan Civilian Conservation Corps, and the Michigan Neighborhood Builders Corps. The Michigan Youth Service Corps was originally funded out of redirected race track revenue and unspent snow removal funds, and at its peak, $30 million in state funding was allocated to this large summer Michigan- Final Report corps. The corps enjoyed almost a decade of funding until 1991, when the state experienced cutbacks across the board. Many institutions of higher education were also actively engaged in service programming. As early as 1962, Michiganders were looking at the issue of service-learning in education. As a student run effort, a service learning institute began at Michigan State University to promote the academic and pragmatic notion of service learning as a legitimate education tool. After seven years of operation by students, the University formalized the institute and created the MSU Service Learning Center. In the '80's, National Campus Compact and the Campus Outreach Opportunity League (COOL) had formed partnerships with a number of institutions in the state. In 1989 Michigan Campus Compact (MCC) was formed as one of the first state compacts in the nation to unite the community service efforts of the higher education institutions in the state, merging the campus initiatives of both national organizations. This entity played a critical role throughout the planning and development process in the state and has continued to be a key player in the Michigan service arena. In the Foundation world, the Council of Michigan Foundations was working with community foundations. The Kellogg Foundation was busy funding a variety of youth progra ms, and the Non-Profit Forum was focused on increasing the capacity of service organizations. In 1989, the Kellogg Foundation began to work with community foundations to develop permanent youth endowments to provide grants to individual communities for youth sponsored community projects. National programs like the United Way, Boys and Girls Clubs, Scouts, the Y's, 4-H Cooperative Extension, and ACTION created extensive networks across the state. In addition, twenty-three Volunteer Centers provide placement services for state residents. Student Councils, 4-H, and various youth councils have provided leadership training within schools and for out-of school youth. It would be lopsided and incomplete to talk about the history of community service in Michigan without also telling the story of the "grandfather of volunteerism," former Governor George Romney. The Governor, who currently serves as a board member for both the Commission on National and Community Service and the Points of Light Foundation, has maintained and promoted a vision for volunteerism since his tenure as Governor in the 1960's. The former Governor has supported the notion that every individual needs to contribute time or money to collectively meet society's needs and probably believes that there should be as many Volunteer Centers in the state as Post Offices. Still able to exercise Prepared by Youth Service America, Fall 1993 �2 significant influence in the state through his direct and committed approach, Romney is able to muster collective strength and support for his current initiative, The Michigan Campaign for Volunteerism . The Campaign, which was kicked off in 1989, is an alliance of Michigan leaders, non-profits, and institutions dedicated to strengthening volunteerism and its impact on the state. In creating the Campaign, Romney skillfully brought together then Governor James Blanchard and Gubernatorial candidate John Engler to support his push for volunteerism. When the Michigan Community Service Commission was formed, representatives were asked to be part of the Campaign's executive committee. Focused on traditional volunteerism, the Campaign challenged the newly formed Commission to work effectively with the vision of Governor Romney . Though service was happening all over Michigan, little coordination among these organizations was taking place. In any state, in order to move forward in the development of a service infrastructure, there needs to be catalyst or ager.t of change. In Michigan, prior to 1990, with the exception of the efforts of the Michigan Campus Compact and the Community Foundation network, not much was happening in a concerted way. The NCSA provided a catalyst for state leaders to begin critically thinking about developing a comprehensive collaboration system. The NCSA also forced the state to develop its system with the new law in mind. After an extensive planning effort, Michigan won the support of Governor Engler who created the Michigan Community Service Commission in 1991. The service landscape in the state is filled with a variety of competing interests, desires and expectations due to the diversity of its players. The passage of federal legislation and the subsequent creation of a state commission to coordinate new federal programs further complicate the scenery. How would the state commission be able to design its own path when the interests of both the federal government and the Governor had to be met? How would competing philosophies about service and volunteerism work together to reach the same end? Like a skillful street juggler, Michigan has been able to successfully balance the needs and demands of all these interests and has proven itself to be one of the nation's leaders in national and community service. Michigan- Final Report State Governance Structure Spurred by the involvement of the First Lady, Michelle Engler, in the planning conference and subsequent planning meetings in the spring and summer of 1991, Governor John Engler created the Michiga n Community Service Commission (MCSC) by executi ve order on October 2, 1991. Sold by the collaborative efforts of the 125 participants in the conference, the First Lad y committed herself to serve as the Chair of the Commission . Upon its creation, Diana Algra, proven performer as the Executive Director of the Michigan Campus Compact and key player in the state planning process, transitioned easily to become the Executive Director of the newly fo rmed Commission. MCSC was created with a three-year life span which will sunset on September 30, 1994 . Currently, the Commission is developing state legislation to codify its existence in law. Focused initially on youth, the 21 member Commission has the task of developing a statewide service movement. MCSC is proud of its diversity. Commission members represent a broad cross-section of the state and include representati ves of community based organizations, higher education institutions, K-12 education, labor, small business, corporations and philanthropic organiza ti ons. The composition refl ects age, ethnic and geographic diversity as well. Commission members were appointed for one to three year terms with the input of those who were central in the planning effort . When terms expire, members have the option of remaining on the Commission. Members receive no reimbursement, per diem, or travel as compensation for their service. The political identifications are relatively unknown as members were chosen irrespective of their political affiliation. MCSC has so far been able to avoid politics in its appointments because of the influence the key field players had on the appointments. As a whole, the Commission has been able to remain relati vely nonpolitical because of the relative obscurity of the Commission and its purpose. As the stakes are raised and more money is potentially funnel ed through the Commission, the attitude towards the importance of the Commission, and service in general, may change. Recognizing that government is an essential but not exclusive partner in building effective community coalitions, the Commission has worked hard to secure involvement of business, philanthropy, nonprofits and individuals in its work. The Commission's mission is to "encourage community service and volunteerism as a means of community and state problem solving, and to promote voluntary involvement in government and priva te programs throughout the Prepared by Youth Service America, Fall 1993 �3 state." To achieve these goals, the Commission operates through its five standing committees. The committees are focused on community collaboration, evaluation, fund development, recognition and youth voice. The Commission is an independent gubernatorially appointed entity housed within the Michigan Jobs Commission which provides fiscal management, legal and technical support and pays for all the Commission expenses. It also pays the salary of the Executive Director and one support staff member. They are the primary staff capacity of the Commission. Impressed by the planning efforts of the state in 1991, the Points of Light Foundation selected Michigan as one of the original host states for their Yo~th Engaged in Service Ambassadors Program. In the first year of the program POLF placed two Ambassadors in Michigan. In year two, however, in order to increase the number of states involved in the program, only one Ambassador was placed in the state. POLF provides the salary and benefits for the Ambassador including travel, but the Commission picks up any additional expenses. The role the Ambassadors have played in the development of the state and in expanding the Commission's organizational capacity has been critical. In both years, the Ambassadors have been integral to the proposal submissions to the Commission on National and Community Service and in the development of its state youth body, the Michigan Progressive Youth Action Program. The strengths of the commission structure are many and the weaknesses few. The support the Commission receives from the Governor's office, the support and financial services of the Department of Labor, and the diverse composition of the Commission collectively illustrate the strength and support it enjoys. A critical strength, however, also lies in its involvement of and emphasis on young people. The Standing Committee on Youth Voice is embodied in a sixteen member group called the Michigan Progressive Youth Action Council (MYPAC). Members are between the ages of 12 and 21. MYPAC was created in September of 1992 with the mission of involving young people in community problem solving throughout the state. The Council meets periodically throughout the year on projects it decides are important. Its direct link to the Commission is through the youth commissioners. The critical weakness of the current structure is its limited staff capacity. As the activities and responsibilities of the Commission continue to grow, it is not enough to have a two member staff and the hope of a continued Ambassador placement. The Michigan- Final Report Commission's success has resulted despite its staff capacity, due to the efforts of a very committed, passionate and hardworking group of key players in the state who are willing to share in the burden and work load of the Commission. Among them are Julie Busch, Director of the Michigan Campus Compact, Elaine Gordon, Department of Education Coordinator of SERVE Michigan, and Kathi Gamble of the Youth Volunteer Corps of Metropolitan Detroit. Additional Commission staff are needed to handle a variety of tasks including communications, program monitoring, coordination of youth voice and program management. An ongoing challenge of the structure is that the Commission is a government entity formed out of the field 's initiative and must resist the temptation to take over the field. The Commission needs to continue to play a supportive role in the field and avoid becoming dominant. Outreach and Planning When Michigan began its comprehensive state planning process, there were liabilities that the state provided along with the strengths. Governor Engler had just come into office a few months earlier and slashed state funding for the existing state youth corps programs. Engler was a fiscal conservative with a different agenda. Luckily, Engler was interested in "volunteerism" and soon became interested in supporting the efforts to create a state commission. Michigan's planning success was due in part to the inclusion of representatives from the key stakeholders in the state: the Governor's office, the State Education Agency and Michigan Campus Compact, from the start. In addition, representatives from corps programs, the community foundation network and key funders were also at the initial planning table. The inclusion of a diversity of individuals, while undoubtedly valuable, proved also to be problematic. Much of the work that took place during the planning process included peer education among the primary planning agencies to get on the same page and define what they collectively meant by "service" . The key agencies worked towards a common philosophy and the development of a working definition and understanding of words and phrases. The development of such a language has proven to be an additional planning strength for Michigan. Prepared by Youth Service America, Fall 1993 �4 The planning process began back in the spring of 1991. Concerned about the duplication of efforts, lack of coordination and diffusion of resources within the state, the Kellogg Foundation convened a meeting of all its grantees working with youth in volunteerism and philanthropy. This initial meeting provided a springboard for future collaboration and the development of a larger statewide planning conference. Youth Service America was given a Kellogg grant to assist in Michigan's planning process. In June, YSA in cooperation with MCC, the Council of Michigan Foundations (CMF), the Michigan Non Profit Forum (NPF), and the Michigan State Board of Education, sponsored a two day planning conference entitled, ''Youth Service Michigan". Over 125 participants attended the multi track conference, from which an initial set of recommendations were formulated. Two smaller planning meetings were held to produce a clearer set of recommendations which were consolidated into a report by Frank Dirks from YSA. The report helped the Commission define its role iu t.he state. Through the report, the field was able to have input in the design and composition of the Commission. The Commission's first responsibility was to develop the state plan. A significant number of players were involved in the writing process. Responsibilities were broken up by subtitles with individuals taking lead responsibility for each section. Working groups produced drafts that were revised again and again. The initial planning meetings and subsequent inclusive process in the development of the state plan and related subtitle proposals established a norm for collaboration and inclusion in the state. Michigan has continued to convene groups within the state to revisit its goals and mission and keep itself on track. The Commission developed the Michigan Vision in late 1992, to express its collective convictions and to serve as the measuring stick of progress in the state. The inclusion and involvement of a great many diverse individuals from across the state was by far the critical strength of the state planning process. The benefits reaped from the process are immeasurable and have led not only to gubernatorial support, but buy in from a cross-section of the state. Inclusion was problematic at times but alleviated by the fact that an outside convener was used to neutralize competing interests and level out the playing field. FERA, the Formative Evaluative Research Associates verified the critical and significant role a neutral party played in its October 1992 report. Michigan- Final Report Significant credit needs to be given to the key leaders for not getting so caught up in the day to day administration of programs that there was no time to take a step back and evaluate the state's progress. Fundine: Process Three separate Request for Proposals were developed in the state, one for each available funding category. For all subtitles, technical assistance workshops were held and materials were distributed to assist potential applicants in applying for funds. Ad hoc, individual assistance was also provided on an as needed basis. The availability of assistance helped to expand the Commission's constituency and gave it some exposure. Key players in the field pooled together resources in assisting potential grantees to both assure quality applications and fill the staff capacity gap of the Commission. The Department of Education developed the RFP for SERVE Michigan Bl programs and serves as the fiscal agent for the subtitle programs. In year one, over 8,000 applications were mailed out to education institutions and non-profit agencies in September of 1992. The RFP generated 203 funding proposals. Elaine Gordon, Coordinator for SERVE Michigan directed the three tiered review process which included teams of students, Department of Education staff and practitioners and Commissioners. The second year process was similar and generated 173 grant proposals. To date, the awards are still pending. Julie Busch, Director of the Michigan Campus Compact developed the application requirements and RFP for subtitle B2 through the MCC Higher Education Collaborative. MCC puts out the RFP's and is responsible to review the applications, but MCSC acts as the fiscal agent and final program monitor. MCSC relies on the Michigan Job Commission to provide staff time to develop and mana ge subgrants. The B2 subgrant process took place in two cycles. The review committee consisted of higher education representatives, service learning practitioners, students and Commission members. In total, MCC received 36 applications and fund ed 19 in year one. In year two, 37 applications have been received . Second year awards are still · pending. Diana Algra and staff at MCSC were responsible for subtitle C. Potential grantees could apply for funding und er two categories: Residential Youth Environmental Education Service Corps and other Prepared by Youth Service America, Fall 1993 �5 youth corps models. Of the second category, a portion was designated to create new Youth Volunteer Corps, a portion to supporting existing YVC's, and a portion to assist with the development or expansion of full-time Urban Corps models in the state. RFP's were mailed to over three hundred organizations which yielded sixteen applications in year one. In year two, no RFP process took place, as available funding was given to existing grantees. In total, Michigan subgranted over $1.3 million in year one and is in the process of subgranting approximately the same amount in year two. All funding cycles took place around the same time though individual RFP processes were used. Proe:ram Descriotions The goals of the Commission fit nicely with the goals of the Michigan 2000 Excellence in Edur:ation Committee. Citizen education has been listed as part of the natiunal education goals. Though there hasn't been an institutional connection made between the efforts, it is one of the goals of the Commission. Much of the K-12 programming focused on working with at risk students, a Michigan priority. Prior to the introduction of SERVE-America funding, Detroit Public Schools had begun to require community service for graduation and teachers in Bloomfield Hills began to integrate service into their curriculum. There is now a community service requirement for all students in this school district. Recognition of Michigan's commitment to school based service has come in many forms including the introduction of two national K-12 initiatives in the state. The Minnesota based National Youth Leadership Council is establishing a K-12 Service-Learning Center in the state while two other national organizations, the Closeup Foundation and the Constitutional Rights Foundation have implemented their Active Citizenship Today (ACT) model into the social science curriculum of the Grand Rapids schools. The Michigan DOE oversees the administration of B1 funding which was distributed to communities in four categories: Statewide Planning and Capacity Building, School-based Service-Learning Programs, Community-Based Service Programs, and Adult Volunteer and Partnership Programs. Based on data from B1 grantees, under SERVE-Michigan, the number of Michigan citizens involved in community and school-based service-learning and adult volunteer and Michigan - Final Report partnership programs increased from 9,063 in 1991 to 38,506 by midacademic year 1993. The creation of the Michigan Campus Compact in 1989 out of a six year $800,000 grant from the Kellogg Foundation, is a testament to the level of community service programming that was taking place throughout the state of Michigan. The leadership role MCC played was crucial to the process. MCC was successful in persuading both MCC members and non-members alike to apply for funding from the Commission on National and Community Service as part of the overall state plan and not as a direct grantee. The result-- Michigan received the second highest B2 higher education grant in the nation. The leadership of MCC in the higher education arena has been essential to the development of a solid collegiate service infrastructure. The major outcome for Michigan has been an in-state college service grant process entitled the Michigan Generation Grant Program. The program consists of a minimum of 22 subgrants ranging from $500 to $15,000 for a total of $200,000. The granting process was divided into two cycles. The selection committee was comprised of representatives from higher education, the field of service learning, students, and members of the Michigan Community Service Commission. The grant review committee designated funding for Cycles I and II in the following categories: Student Initiated Projects, Evaluation and Outcomes, Curriculum Development, Leadership Training and Combination Projects. Additionally, the MCC has established the Michigan Resource Service Center. The goal of the Center is to further strengthen collegiate service in the state by disseminating information to individual campuses to enhance local programs, while creating a body of knowledge that furthers the entire field of service learning. MCC held the first student service leadership conference last August with about 80 participants. Similar to the Generation Grant Program, MCC administers its own Ventures Grant Program that is open only to MCC members. The idea for the Generation Grant program came from MCC's Ventures Grant concept. MCC serves the field by providing specific trainings for faculty, staff and students to increase the level of expertise. Some training is reserved for Compact members, others are open to all interested. Michigan has long been a leader in providing both summer and full-time corps opportunities for youth. In the early 1980's Michigan pioneered one of the first statewide youth corps. A growing Youth Corps Volunteer network was also evolving in the state. Corps continue to provide youth in Michigan with a unique opportunity to serve their Prepared by Youth Service America, Fall 1993 �6 communities. In the first year of funding Michigan sought to establish new corps initiatives, including the Governor's Youth Environmental Education Service Corps (YEES), a residential rural summer youth corps program, which will be administered through the Job Training Partnership Act (JTP A) network. Michigan's $500,000 Title C grant was distributed into two categories: $250,000 was allocated to operate the three residential sites of YEES and $250,000 was subgranted to local communities to develop, implement, or enhance youth corps models. The Title C subgranting process began with the development and mailing of RFPs to 300 organizations and individuals including Volunteer Action Centers, United Ways, Community Action Agencies, Cooperative Extension 4-H offices, Urban Leagues and individuals who requested notification. Five new YVCs across the state were funded. $115,000 was designated to fund these new Youth Volunteer Corps initiatives serving youth ages 12 to 17. Additionally, $45,000 was designated to assist existing Youth Volunteer Corps in the state and ~70,000 was designated to assist with year-round full-time Urban Corps models in the state, with a maximum award of $35,000. In these categories an RFP was also developed and mailed out to agencies already operating programs. The promotion and quick expansion of YVC model programs has posed some problems for Michigan due to the lack of comprehensive support for the programs from both the national YVCA or experts instate. It will be critical that a system of technical and management support be developed and funded to ensure the healthy development of Michigan's corps network. In step with the Michigan vision, the YEES Corps and the numerous other corps initiatives throughout the state are working to positively impact young people who are economically, or otherwise disadvantaged, in tum allowing them to improve their communities. In addition to the funded corps initiatives, one of the original goals of the state plan was to establish a "City Year" type program. The City of Grand Rapids has expressed interest in pursuing this idea and is currently in discussions with corporate and philanthropic organizations in the area. The Inter-Tribal Council. of Michigan received a direct grant from the Commission in both 1992 and 1993 to administer a summer youth program for Native youth. It was a big disappointment not to receive subtitleD funding for year one. The hope of the Commission was to receive Commission funds to establish Michigan CARES (Communities and Resources Engaged in Service) . CARES is an intergenerational model that involves adults and young people in designing and implementing service projects that Michigan- Final Report meet local community needs. The key feature of the program is the development of community service action teams (CSAT) in localities where full and part time corpsmembers are deployed. The corpsmembers would form regional technical assistance teams and would assist the CSAT's in developing and sustaining service initiatives. Being rejected in the first year did not dissuade the state from reapplying again in the second year. Sticking with the same basic model, the state was excited to receive a planning grant in the second year to further develop its model. Michigan CARES is a very important project for Michigan, because it takes steps to advance the Michigan view that service programs in the state should be built around local community needs and interests. Michigan also received subtitle E funding. The Commission received $25,000 to support the development of MYPAC. Two additional E grants were made directly to organizations which had no connection with MCSC. The Lapeer County Cooperative Extension Service received $13,200 and Operation ABLE of Michigan received $42,000 to support its programs. The Grand Traverse Band of Ottowa, Chippewa Indians also received a direct subtitle E grant from the Commission in the amount of $120,000. While the Michigan Campaign for Volunteerism is not a funded program area, its impact on the state merits description. The Campaign represents the traditional volunteer sector's efforts to increase the number and visibility of volunteers in community service. The Campaign has made tremendous headway in its volunteer effort-10 new Volunteer Centers have been created as a result-- and has recently launched its statewide media campaign, "Be Somebody. Be a Volunteer." with its 1-800 toll free hotline. Because of its high profile and existence before the passage of the Federal legislation, the philosophy of the Campaign and the philosophy of the Commission do not always coincide. This sometimes makes for a difficult relationship. As a government entity, MCSC may not be viewed as able to encompass and meet the needs of the volunteer sector. The Campaign may be seen as more encompassing. Commission members are working to counteract any perception that the Commission has tried to overshadow the work of the Campaign. Despite the difficulties, both believe that if their collective mission is to promote service and volunteerism in the state, they should work in tandem with each other. The Campaign has no direct staff, so responsibilities are shared by the service and volunteer community throughout the state. For example, one of the hopes of the campaign Prepared by Youth Service America, Fall 1993 �7 was to have a PR function. As a result, Mrs. Engler chose to chair the initiative and worked with a media and advertising firm in town which provided $150,000 worth of pro bono services. An additional $25,000 was then raised to produce videos for PSA's and print advertising to promote volunteerism. The Michigan Association of Broadcasters took the Campaign on as one of their annual pro bono projects. Technical Suooort and Mana2:ement The combined resources of the MCSC, MCC, Department of Education, and the existing YVC network collectively provided technical assistance to the grantees. On going site visits take place throughout the year which enable the Commission to manage the programs as well as make recommendations for improvement. Good communication among the leaders in each programming area also enables the Commission to keep lliJ to date on what is going on with its grantees. Conferences, training sessions, workshops and written materials have also provided a wealth of technical assistance to grantees. Additional assistance is provided by other state resource centers including the Michigan Service Learning Center, now housed at Michigan Campus Compact, and the Mid-West Regional Resource Center on Mentoring also operated by MCC. With everything moving so quickly in the field, it has been difficult, to say the least, to provide comprehensive evaluation, program management and technical support. The state would like to provide these services on a regular basis, however, lack of staff capacity again plays a critical role. The limited number of experienced and available trainers from within the field is also a factor. As a result, the few trainers who are available within the state spend so much time providing training and assistance to others, their own work suffers, or they suffer individually from bum out. The weakest link in the management and technical support arena is the lack of a strong evaluation system in the state -- Michigan hopes to have one developed in the next 6-12 months. The state would like to bring in an outside evaluator who would look at each Commission funded program and the Commission itself as a comprehensive unit. There is money set aside in each of the subtitle areas that will be pooled to conduct an evaluation for the state as a whole. Michigan- Final Report Another weak area of technical support is in the corps programs. In its state plan and throughout the planning process, Michigan pushed the Youth Volunteer Corps model. As a result, ten of the twenty-two national sites are located in Michigan. Though the state chose to promote and replicate the model, given the staff capacity, the question is raised, "Who is responsible to evaluate these programs?" Without additional staff, MCSC cannot possibly evaluate and monitor all the programs in the state. YVCA has not provided adequate evaluation services to the state to assess the sustainability and growth of the sites. Kathi Gamble and MCSC staff have been working on a proposal to form a Corps Coalition in Michigan for all corps including the YVC sites. The focus of the Coalition would be to provide on-going T A to all program sites and conduct regular site visits. The Coalition would also provide regular communication between the Corps and with other programs. In addition, it seems YVCA should provide assistance to its replicated programs. One approach would be to provide a resident T A provider in the state. Though there are weak links in this area, MCSC recognizes the need to develop a more comprehensive management system. To respond to this need, the Standing Committee on Evaluation was created to develop unified and comprehensive data collection and evaluation by establishing standards across all program areas. Uniaue State Characteristics There are many unique features that distinguish Michigan from the rest of the states. Some of the most critical differences include the level and commitment to collaboration; the number of foundations located in the state that are leaders in the service field including Kellogg, Mott and Kresge; the vast YVC network; the location of one of the first state Campus Compacts; and the growing Campaign for Volunteerism. Michigan has taken seriously the youth as resources model in the development of the state infrastructure. Students and other young people have sat at the table, given and received grants and have been given a real voice in the state's overall development. The first in the nation to develop a formal youth body (MYPAC) as a standing committee of the state commission, Michigan is willing to take ri sks in giving young people more and more responsibility. Michigan has done a good job so far in this area and as they learn more, they look forward to Prepared by Youth Service America, Fall 1993 �8 progressing even further. The state also received the largest Youth Voice award from the Commission on National and Community Service to support MYPAC and its efforts. It is particularly important to note that Michigan has come so far in this area because it has focused on the question of "what does youth as resources really mean?'' Realizing that involvement of youth may lead to the loss of control by adults and the establishment of a new system of power sharing, Michigan has never been satisfied in assuming to know the answer. Another unique feature of Michigan is the long-standing relationship that has existed between the Commission and the state ACTION agency. Stanley Stewart, the state ACTION Director has been involved in the development of the Commission since before the initial planning stage. While not a formal ex-officio member of the Commission, Mr. Stewart has attended all the Board meetings and has been given a voice around the table. To the extent possible, ACTION and Commission funded programs are collaborated and both entities have been kept up to date on all program initiatives. Predating passage of the NCSA, ACTION funded higher education community service projects through MCC. The potential for merging resources in the state would seem mutually beneficial and provide a powerful resource for the field. As the new federal Corporation for National and Community Service subsumes the federal ACTION agency, Michigan will be a state to watch closely to see what happens in a state where collaboration has been long-standing. When the Commission was formed, an already existing statewide network of youth action councils existed in the state. The network was created when the Council of Michigan Foundations (CMF) and Kellogg Foundation joined to create a youth endowment program throughout the community foundation network. The idea for the program was ignited when community foundations approached CMF and asked for help in raising the levels of their endowments. Collectively, the idea was birthed to encourage communities to fundraise for a permanent youth endowment. For every two dollars raised, the Kellogg Foundation would provide a one dollar match for up to $1 million. To be eligible, each community foundation would be responsible for creating a youth action council (YAC) to serve as an auxiliary board to its existing board . The YAC would then assess the needs of the community, design an RFP process and review grant applications and make recommendations to the Board. Due to the incredible leadership of Jim McHale, the program has exploded, with 47 youth action councils being created across the state. Collective Michigan- Final Report training resources of MCSC, MCC, POLF and CMF have been provided to the councils. Findings/Conclusions Michigan has proven itself as a national leader in many ways. Being the first state to develop a state commission and the first to develop a statewide youth body underlines the point. The state has built upon its strengths and continues to be vigilant in add ressi ng its weaknesses. Michigan is unique in terms of the number of community foundations that exists; in its history of conservation and youth volunteer corps; and having one of the original state compacts. Michigan is also fortunate to have a foundati on network that supports the initiatives of the MCSC, and a Commission that supports and furthers programs that were already undertaken by foundations in the state prior to the development of the Commission. The support MCSC has received from the Governor and First Lady has also been integral to Michigan's success. The Governor has indicated his willingness to support the legislative codification of the Commission in order for MCSC to be further solidified as a state entity. The First Lady has provided leadership for both MCSC and the Campaign for Volunteerism which has helped to pull the two efforts together. Mrs. Engler also serves on the national Board of Directors for Active Citizenship Today, a collaborative program of the Close Up Foundation and the Constitutional Rights Foundation. Under the dynamic leadership of tne First Lady in tandem with the MCSC's Executive Director, the Commission has been able to accomplish a great deal in a very short amount of time. The power of collaboration in Michigan has been absolutely phenomenal and unbelievable in terms of what has been accomplished and made possible in Michigan. The key collaborators have even been described as a "family", which explains why Michigan's dream would be to have all service entities under one roof to tackle issues and be in constant communication with one another. Its example serves as a model for other states. Through collaboration new doors have been opened within the state to support service. Undoubtedly, there are people who are not being represented currently by the Commission. While collaboration is strong at the state level, between service organizations, franchi ses and smaller units of these state level entities have only just begun to collaborate locally. The Commission recognizes these gaps and can only hope that the Governor will appoint new Prepared by Youth Service America, Fall 1993 �9 members to fill these gaps and that other techniques can be used locally to promote better collaboration. The infusion of federal dollars has enabled Michigan to greatly expand its service infrastructure and to coordinate efforts that were occurring throughout the state. In many ways, however, federal demands have also dictated the direction the field has taken. To a degree the national agenda has distracted attention away from what needs to be accomplished in the state and has consumed the time of many key players. Michigan realizes that it is crucial to keep the state vision alive no matter what sources of funding come along. The state will need to decide where it will draw the line if a potential funding source does not share the goals of the state. Michiganders fear that if they get caught up in making the state programs fit whatever the national agenda dictates, then their vision may be blurred from seeing what really needs to happen in the state. The state leaders have already begun to ask, "Are we really being true to our programs? Are we committed to developinb ~uality programs? Are we making the biggest impact we can make?" Michigan faces a tough challenge in answering these questions and will probably continue to struggle between self reliance and the need for outside resources. Though Michigan has enjoyed substantial support from foundations which has set the state apart, the "golden fleece" may soon run out. It is also important for the state to leverage more support, resources and inkind services from the private sector. Former Governor George Romney has also been a key asset to the service pioneers in Michigan. The "Grandfather of Volunteerism" has pushed his volunteer agenda throughout the planning process and forced service and volunteer practitioners to look at service and volunteerism collectively. This push led to the merging of these two bodies of programming in the state. While it is often difficult to merge the differing goals and needs of volunteerism and national and community service, without the efforts of the governor, it is unclear whether or not this merge would have happened at all. A footnote to all of Michigan's work which merits recognition is its effort to painstakingly document what it has done. Michigan ha s recorded all of the steps it has taken since the beginning of the planning effort and this living record serves as a guideline to all players, new and old, of where the state has been, where it is, and where it needs to go. The documents have also served as important vehicles to share and spread information across the state to get everyone up to speed and on the same page. The information shared also serves as an equalizer to bring players who may have operated outside the inner circle of Michigan- Final Report players or who have stepped in recently onto the same playi ng field with everyone else. In the future, the archives will probably also help to stabilize and secure the work that has been started. Next Steos Overall, Michigan will do fine in the transition. The Commission already meets many of the requirements of the new law. The composition of the Commission will have to be adjusted somewhat, however, and for the first time, political affiliations of members will have to be considered. The biggest challenge facing the Commission is extend ing its life span which is due to expire at the end of the next calendar year. The Commission may not survive unless it is legislated. The Governor's wife is a wonderful addition to the Commission but does not guarantee its existence. Currently, members are working on legislation that will codify its existence. In Michigan, there are a handful of key people who are very committed to service. They are visionaries and idealists who refu se to let the dreams of service die. This commitment has enabled Michigan to come so far in such a short time. In order for Michigan to take its next giant step forward and stay ahead of the nation, what mu st it do? The following are a set of critical issues those in the field felt needed to be addressed. What does it take to properly staff an effective infrastructure? Answering the question is the first step. Currently, the Commission is greatly understaffed and needs more resources. It will need relief soon if it is to undertake the great many challenges that lie ahead. Up until now, Michigan has made great strides with its bare bones structure but at what cost long term? Operation at the high speed and low capacity still cause even the most committed people to bum out. Much of what has happened has been dependent upon the level of individual commitment of a small group of key players. A system needs to be put in place in order to ensure that if a key individual left, the work that has been going on would not cease or the organization fold. If Diana Algra left would there still be a Commission? If Julie Busch left, what would happen to MCC? If Elaine Gordon left, would the DOE still be committed to service learning? These answers are, of course, unknown. Clearly, the entities might not conti nue to exist in their present form. Another issue to address is the Commission's identity problem . Buried in the state department of Labor, MCSC has little name Prepared by Youth Service America, Fall 1993 �10 recognition. While location in the Department has been an asset in other ways, the Department has also overshadowed the independent identity the MCSC needs in order to increase its base of support statewide. The relationship between the Commission and the State Education Agency is a critical issue all states face. The K-12 arena offers great potential for broad program advocacy and infusion. With separate funding tracks, however, this is also the area where state commissions have the least control. Michigan is ahead of the pack in its relationship with the SEA, but it still has a ways to go . With increased funding it has become important that mechanisms to keep planning efforts coordinated are securely in place. Though solid efforts have been made to bridge the community service and volunteer sectors together, more integration needs to take place -- this will take a lot of work. While Michigan must drum into the "new movement" of national and community service, it must continue to recognize the "old movf'ment " of volunteerism and appreciate that "the individual volunteer" has been around for a long time. Michigan knows that in its efforts it is critical not to drive out the traditional volunteer. If it does, this may prove to be the biggest price the movement will pay in the long run. The MCSC was formed at the point when service was just beginning to have a higher political profile. MCSC was formed looking at the unique needs of the state, considering who the key players are that need to be brought around the table. The stakes have now been raised dramatically - new players will emerge, all competing for the same resources. These additions to the "movement" will have a significant impact on continued developments in the state. New voices need to be heard and local communities represented at the decision-making table. Michigan is solidly poised to do good work -the key players speak from the same page with a common working language and understanding. It will be interesting to see how the Commission will evolve over time, and what new techniques the "juggler" will use to balance the competing interests within the state, while maintaining its programmatic and structural integrity.

The information provided allowed Commission members to see the variety of programs already in our state in the area of VISTA, Action Projects, RSVP, Foster Grandparents and Senior Companion. �VI. Fundin~ A. Recommendations for 1993-94 CNCS ~ants: K-12 - Diana Algra Diana Algra presented on behalf of Elaine Gordon the recommendations for our K-12 1993-94 grantees. This years RFP's generated 174 applications. After careful review by panel members fifty-eight (58) proposals are being recommended for funding. Twenty-five (25) are continuation grants from year one. These fiftyeight proposal total $592,057. The fifty-eight proposals break down into the following categories: 5 Statewide Planning and Capacity Building; 33 School Based Service Learning Programs; 9 Community Based Service Programs; 11 Adult Volunteer and Partnership Programs. B. Higher Education- Julie Busch Julie Busch presented the following recommendations regarding Higher Education Generation grants. The RFP's generated thirty-seven proposals with twenty-five being new and twelve being continuation. The proposal review committee recommended that eleven continuation grants and fourteen new grants be approved for funding. These twenty-five proposals total $191,920. C. Corps - Diana Algra Diana Algra reported on the Corps proposals. Youth volunteer Corps During the first funding cycle (111993-9/1993), the Michigan Community Service Commission provided funding to eight programs. Five were new initiatives and three had been in operation 1 to 2 years before. Our recommendation to the Commission is that we provide continuation funding to seven of the eight we funded last cycle. One of our agencies lost their funding in mid-year due to questions regarding their financial stability (Wayne Metro). United Community Services stepped in to pick up the void left when Wayne Metro closed its doors. 2 �New Youth Volunteer Corps Models Reguestin~ Fundin~ During our first request for proposal cycle for 1992-93, both Flint and Grand Rapids were sent availability of funds applications. Both decided not to pursue them at that time. We promised to maintain them on our data base for 1993-94 cycle. Both agencies decided to submit applications this cycle. Our funding camp to each was $10,000. Full-time Urban Corps During our first funding cycle, the Michigan Community Service Commission provided funds to two communities; Flint and Grand Rapids. The Flint Youth Service Corps was a full- time corps already in operation. During its funding year it had 66 participants involved at various levels. Fifteen (15) participants completed their GED, nineteen (19) were placed in unsubsidized employment and six (6) continued their training in post-secondary education or skills trades. Unfortunately, due to reductions from their local JTPA, the program had to temporarily cease its program until additional funds could be secured. Their request is for a total of$58,895. This would be $28,295 of unexpended 92-93 funding and $30,600 of 93-94 funding. This funding level will pe~t the Flint Youth Service Corps to provide a corps opportunity for thirty-seven (37) youth. Total program cost is $290,184. Other funders are the City of Flint CDBG, JTPA and a grant from the Citizens Bank LOEB Trust. We are currently awaiting for Grand Rapids second year grant proposal. Our year one funding permitted the Grand Rapids community to establish a community-wide steering committee to explore the feasibility and support for a full-time urban corps that would be modeled after "City Year" in Boston. Turn over in the Program Director position delayed the start up of the project's planning grant. They have expressed a need for an additional year of funding that would permit them to finalize their community planning, establish and secure a fund development base and implement a summer pilot program. We anticipate their request to be no more than $30,000. A motion was made and seconded to approve the recommended proposals. All those in attendance voted in the affirmative. 3 �VII. Executive Director's Report Diana Algra briefed the Commission on the following initiatives: • MCSC has been involved with the National Service Coalition in helping develop the legislation forward and in assisting the Office on National Service and Commission on National and Community Service to establish some guidelines for states that are not as developed as Michigan. • We had Emilio Williams of National Association Service Conservation Corps visit our YEES directors, a site visit to Flint and one to Grand Rapids. • We have participated on two briefing on the new legislation in the area of higher education, one in Washington and one hosted by University of Michigan in Ann Arbor. • We have also provided on site help to the state of Missouri and Indiana in the development of their state commissions. • Note in your packet that a case study has been done on the state of Michigan. We were one of five states that had case studies developed on them in an effort to assist new state commissions in their development. • Mrs. Engler commended Diana Algra and Julie Busch for all the work they have done on the national level. Sometimes were known better on the national level than on the state level and we need to promote the Commission and commissioners more on a state level. As we move forward we should promote ourselves more statewide. • Dave Egner offered to do an article on the Michigan Community Service Commission in his newsletter in March. VIII.Committee Reports • MYPAC Update - Gwen Downs and Sarah Riley Gwen Downs thanked Sam Singh for all his help with the MYPAC as they finished their Annual Report. Gwen introduced the MYPAC Annual Report. Gwen talked about the Youth Action Forum in Alpena and Sarah talked about the Youth Action Forum in Mt. Pleasant, and what youths are doing in Mt. Pleasant. Diana talked about how our MYPAC is a model around th~ country. People are always calling and asking how Michigan went about forming its MYPAC. Diana also mentioned that our MYPAC received a $25,000 4 �grant on Youth Voice. Sam Singh talked about the annual report which was in the commissioners packet. • Commissioner Reyes mention that she was reviewing the 18 year old and younger for the Recognition Awards and was really impressed with the youth of Michigan by what there doing. • Recognition Committee- Diana Algra Overview and breakdown of sheet in packet. Received over 200 nominations. Diana explained who was on the review teams. The Recognition Event will now be held in January. Will give us more time to process the nominations. Invitations will go out in early January 1994. There will be a dinner and reception in Lansing. IX . Update on other CNCS • Fundin~ Youth Voice - Sam Singh Overview of grant award from National Commission of $25,000. This grant will be used to bring the MYPAC together three or four times a year. Will also be a Recognition program. Program visit highlight some of the quality programs that are happening in different parts of the state and have people from other areas of the state to come in and take a look at the programs so they can take the idea back to their area. So some of the money will be used for travel stipends. Youth Action Forum - money will have programs in different cities to empower youth. Statewide Conference on Youth and Service Philanthropy, the MYPAC will work with the Council of Michigan Foundation state conference. Sam also mention that the Points of Light Foundation would sponsor the YES Ambassador program for another year. We are also doing a MYPAC retreat November 5-7, 1993 to work on Subtitle E grant. • TitleD- Kyle Caldwell Michigan CARES Planning grant to begin to set up models in communities to create, maintain and facilitate community service models. Bringing together members of community to discuss and plan CARES program. Will try to start three models. Will be resubmitting to get funding to start up implementation process. Have developed an RFP for an evaluation. Pamphlet enclosed in packet describing the CARES program. Michigan is one of eight 5 �TitleD to be funded. CARES program will help communities build infrastructures in their communities to help address social issues. • Michigan Campaign for Volunteerism Governor Romney gave an update on the Michigan Campaign on Volunteerism. The public service campaign is moving well. Hundreds of people have begun to volunteer. There is continued interest in developing Volunteer Centers in cities that at the present time do not have centers. Citizens are just waiting to be asked to help and to volunteer. The Michigan Campaign on Volunteerism can be an asset to the Commission as it seeks funds from the Corporation for National and Community Service. X. Recommendations of the Executjye Committee • MCSC Legislation - Chairperson Engler reported that she has contacted the four leaders in the Senate and House regarding a luncheon meeting to be held in December. This legislation will codify the Commission. A draft of the legislation should be finished by late November. Commissioner Pruitt and Chairperson Engler will be attending this meeting. Commissioners that will be interested in attending should call the Commission. • Performance Review of Executive Director - Commissioner Pruitt reported that there should be an evaluation conducted on the Executive Director. This would help give Diana feedback on the work undertaken to date. Commissioner Pruitt will get a draft copy of an evaluation to the Commission before the next meeting. Commissioner Pruitt made a motion to have the other Commissioner buy into the evaluation idea for the Executive Director and Commissioner Drake seconded the motion. Discussion took place on suggested meeting dates. It was explained that the dates have been chosen because of the timelines of the new Corporation. It was suggested that the January meeting be the same day as the Recognition Awards Program. Commissioner Blyth suggested April 7th might not be a good date because of spring breaks. No other comments were made on other dates proposed. 6 �XI. Public Comment Commissioner Branden shared with the Commission some of the fine work being done by the CMU grantees . They have developed two publications in the area of K-12 service learning . Commissioner Langston suggested that the Commission write a letter of thanks to Darin Day for all his work with the Commission during his year as YES Ambassador. XII. Other Items Commissioner Langston made a motion to adjourn the meeting and Commission Branden seconded the motion. The meeting was adjourned at 1:10 p.m. The next Commission meeting will be January 27, 1994 at the Olds Plaza Building in Lansing. 7 � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Caring and committed describe those who volunteer. �Michigan's parks, museums, and art centers. I nitiated in 1969, the Retired Senior Volunteer Program (RSVP) was developed to provide challenging and meaningful volunteer opportunities for older adults. Today there are more than 8,000 RSVP volunteers in Michigan who donate their skill, time, and enthusiasm to meet the needs of communities. RSVP is a community program. Local communities determine the focus of the volunteer projects and share in operating costs. Grants from ACTION, the federal volunteer agency, provide the basic support to maintain and coordinate RSVP activities. The Michigan Office of Services to the Aging also provides state funds to each program. With the help of RSVP, non-profit organizations are able to enhance and expand the services they provide. Through the contributions of individual volunteers, many lives have been enriched. RSVP activities span generations as seniors become tutors and special friends to children in schools, hospi- T tals, foster care, and self-help programs. Puppet shows, conducted by the older volunteers, help pre-school children understand substance abuse and the special needs of the handicapped. Many RSVP services are also provided to other seniors. Each year thousands of hours are spent delivering meals, making minor home repairs, transporting and visiting the homebound. Other RSVP members assist senior centers, nursing homes, and telephone reassurance programs. The disabled benefit through ramps designed and built by volunteers to make public buildings and residences more accessible. Those of low-income receive assistance with income tax preparation, budget counseling, and energy conservation. In fact, people of all ages and backgrounds continue to benefit from RSVP guides stationed in he only criteria for participation in RSVP is that a person be 60 years of age or older. Volunteers work without pay or stipends, although they are eligible to receive reimbursement for meals and transportation. They are also covered by liability and accident insurance. �MICIDGAN RETIRED SENIOR VOLUNTEER PROGRAM • Over 9, 750 men and women, 60 years of age and older serve as RSVP volunteers in Michigan's 18 local projects. • RSVP volunteers provide over 1,758,298 hours of communi~ service annually to public and private non-profit organizations. • State funds supported an 3,189 volunteers and 546,331 hours of service during FY 1992 at an average cost of $.70 per hour. • State funds provided over 2 , 700 RSVP volunteers with transportati on assistance during FY'92 at an average cost of $30.45 per volunteer . 1992 RSVP SERVICE AREAS Intergenerational -- 89, 115 hours Health and Nutrition -- 702,891 hours Literacy - 22,291 hours Economic Development-- 97,813 hours In-Home Care -- 214,335 hours Criminal Justice-- 46,894 hours Long Term Care-- 127,691 hours Energy/Environment/Housing- 31,626 hours �RETIRED SENIOR VOLUNTEER PROGRAM DIRECTORS Joy Graves, Director RSVP 9851 Hamilton Avenue Detroit, Ml 48202 (313) 883-2100 Ext. 368 Serving: Wayne County Denise Champagne, Director RSVP 213 Henry Ruff Road Inkster, Ml 48141 (313) 326-6262 Serving: City of Inkster Virginia Boyce, Director RSVP 2725 Boardwalk Ann Arbor, Ml 48104 (313) 741-4747 Serving: Washtenaw County Margaret Smith, Director RSVP Community Education Department Bedford Public Schools 8486 Douglas Road Temperance, Ml 48182 (313) 847-6736 Ext. 425 Serving: Monroe County Pamela McCrum, Director RSVP Catholic Social Services of Jackson County 407 South Mechanic Street Jackson, Ml 49201 (517) 782-4616 Serving: Jackson County Carol Dombrowski, Director RSVP Senior Services, Inc. 918 Jasper Street Kalamazoo, Ml 49001 (616) 382-0515 Serving: Kalamazoo County Karen Reid, Director RSVP 1160 Donaldson Street Flint, Ml 48504 (313) 760-1092 Serving: Genesee, Lapeer & Shiawassee Counties Janet Clark, Director RSVP VAC of Greater Lansing 6035 Executive Drive Executive Bldg., Suite 202 Lansing, Ml 48911 (517) 887-6116 Serving: Ingham, Eaton & Clinton Counties Linda Lark, Director RSVP Senior Neighbors, Inc. 50 Weston Street, S.

The _!_ attention , stimulation and encouragement provided by the foster grandparents often promote higher levels of learning . Children who have not talked begin to speak; some who have never walked are helped to take their first steps. Others begin to gain feelings of self-worth and self-confidence . For many, it is the first time they have experienced the unconditional love of the grandparent often missing from their lives . The Fost er Grandparent Program is t ruly a remarkable story, one cle arly told by the faces of both the foster grandparent and young p eople who participate .

Today, more than 1,250 volunteers are enrolled ln Michigan's Foster Grandparent Program assisting children in hospitals, institutions, schools, juvenile detention facilities, domestic violence shelters, day care centers, and private home settings.

With the wisdom of age, foster grandparents nurture this relationship with tenderness, patience and love. Common activities include reading, playing, taking walks and talking together. services. The stipend is not considered income when determining benefits for other programs such as Social Security. Transportation assistance, a daily meal, insurance and an annual medical check-up are also provided. "'T),e key benefit is the work l_it~elf- the giving of care, attention, loyalty and love. In the everyday exchange between foster grandparent and grandchild, it is not always clear who is giving and who is receiving. And that is how it was meant to be. Foster grandparents come from all walks of life. They live in large cities, small towns and the rural countryside. Any man or woman who is at least 60 years old and meets certain income guidelines is eligible to participate. There are no educational or experience requirements. Foster grandparents serve 20 hours per week, dividing their time between children identified as most needing their help. They serve the same children daily so the relationship can become lasting. Foster grandparents receive 40 hours of orientation and participate in regularly scheduled in-service training sessions. Grants by the Michigan State Office of Services to the Aging and ACTION, the federal volunteer agency, provide funds to pay the foster grandparents a small non-taxable stipend for their The foster grandparents gain a renewed sense of self-esteem and self-confidence . They once again feel they are useful and worthwhile citizens. They are happier and the anticipation of each new day provides an incentive to remain healthy. �MICIDGAN FOSTER GRANDPARENT PROGRAM • An average of 1,265 low-income men and women serve as Foster Grandparents in Michigan's 16 local projects. • Over 6, 325 children with special and exceptional needs benefit each year from the personal attention and support of a Foster Grandparent. • Foster Grandparents provide 1,126,476 hours of service in over 375 child care and educational settings annually. • Sixty-three cents of every dollar spent on the FGP goes directly to the volunteer as a tax-free, hourly stipend.

The Senior Companion Program helps others enjoy a brighter future while affording those who volunteer avenues for personal growth. �Senior Companions usually visit several clients each week for a total of 20 hours. The amount of time volunteered with any one client varies with the n eeds of each individual served. Although most volunteers serve other older adults, anyone over 21 years of age is eligible to receive the help and friendship of a Senior Companion. Senior Companions are good friends, but are also those who have been carefully trained. Each receives a 40-hour orientation before being given an assignment. The SCP volunteer also participates in regularly scheduled in-service training sessions. Established in 1974, the Senior Companion Program (SCP) was created to provide low-income older adults with meaningful volunteer opportunities. The goal of SCP is to bring together people in need with older adults who are able to help. Today hundreds of Senior Companions through out Michigan share a part of Lhemsel ves and their time with other adu l ts who are striving to remain i ndcpendenL The SCP is a person to person enterprise built on the age-old tradition of neighbor helping neighbor. Many Senior Companions assist frail older adults who live in their own home. They may also help people adjust to the challenges of normal life following hospitalization or instilutionalizalion for mental illness or developmental disabilities. Others give security and comfort to the terminallyill and the elderly confined to nursing homes. Senior Companions are caring ru1d supportive friends who focus their energies on simple companionship. Through outstretched arms and open hearts, Senior Companions can provide the strength which enables people to live independen lly and with dignity. The bond of friendship created from shared experiences and the healing magic of the h uman touch helps to conquer loneliness and isolation. Assistance with shopping, meal preparation, and household tasks reduce the sometimes overwhelming burden of being alone. As staunch advocates, Senior Companions link those in need to appropriate community resources. Senior Companions come from all walks of life and represent every segment of the community . Any man or woman who is at least 60-years-ol d and meets certain income guidelines is eligible to participate. There are no minimum requirements for educati on or experience. Grants from the Michigan Office of Services to the Aging, and ACTION, the federal volunteer agency, provide funds to pay Senior Companions a small nontaxable stipend for their services.

'. Partners in Service Partners in Service iS the mentoring program which links members of the Michigan Community Service Commission with members of the Michigan Youth Progressive Action Council (MYPAC), a standing committee of the Commission. Both Commissioners and MYPAC members stand to gain a great deal from this kind of relationship. Commissioners will gain access to the valuable viewpoints and perspectives of a young person. In tum, MYPAC members will benefit from the wealth of knowledge and experience each Commissioner can offer. Through communication and cooperation the quality of input from the MYPAC will increase and the work of Commission as a whole will be enhanced. The staff of the Commission have paired each MYPAC member with a Commissioner from the same geographic area. Our hope is that Commissioners involved with Partners in Service will invite their MYPAC partners to travel to Commission meetings with them. Further, we strongly encourage each partner to meet and speak on the telephone frequently, as well as visit each others' programs. The focus of the Partners in Service relationship should be on discussing the work of the Commission and the role of the MYPAC in supporting it and pushing it forward. As in all effective mentoring relationships, each partner in a Partners in Service relationship should be a teacher and a learner. As partners, the Michigan Community Service Commission and the Michigan Youth Progressive Action Council are poised to do a lot of good things in Michigan.

The Michigan Youth Progressive Action Council Mission Statement: We, the Michigan Youth Progressive Action Council, pledge to: Voice the Opinions of youth while Leading and Uniting Michigan in community service through Networking, Tearn work, and Engaging youth and adults in Energizing community dreams into Realities II. The History of the MYPAC The Michigan Community Service Commission In October, 1991 the Michigan Community Service Commission was created by Governor John Engler through Executive Order 1991-25. The Commission was given the broad mission of developing a statewide service movement, which would focus initially on youth. The Commission was designated the state's lead agency in preparing an application to the Commission on National and Community Service. The MCSC is currently composed of 21 members representing a broad base constituency that includes, community based organizations, higher education institutions, K12, young people, organized labor, small businesses, corporations, and philanthropic institutions. The Commission is also ethnically and geographically diverse in nature. The Commission is chaired by First Lady Michelle Engler who has taken an active role in the Commission and the promotion of its mission around the state. Mission of the MCSC The mission of the MCSC is to encourage community service/volunteerism as a means of community/state problem solving and to promote and support voluntary involvement in government and private programs throughout the state. The Commission is building upon already existing initiatives. To maximize resources in the state, MCSC encourages 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. State and local partnerships among government, business, philanthropy, nonprofits and citizens must be formed if we are to make a difference. �Integral players in this vision have been young people. While many of the problems facing communities affect youth directly, rarely are they encouraged to contribute in the development of solutions. The state has made a substantive commitment to involve young people in the development of youth service policy and community problem solving. We firmly believe that there is no limit to what young people can do They are an essential resource that our society and communities must call upon as we seek to meet pressing local needs. Young people were a vital part of the formation of the Commission and they continue to be central in the Commission's work. Currently two young people serve as full voting members on the Commission. These young people have been able to provide MCSC with the knowledge they have gained from their work in the state. The Commission has developed other strategies which will ensure a strong and effective youth voice in Commission business. These include the development of a Standing Committee on Youth Voice (MYPAC), and the implementation of a mentoring program which has paired Commissioners with MYPAC members in their locality. The Development Of A State Youth Council In March of 1992 the Commission put the belief of youth as resources into action by approving the formation of a statewide body on youth service. Since that time a group of young people have taken the lead in making the Commission's vision a reality. Described below is a summary of what has happened since that time. In April, comments made by the Commission and others were incorporated into the approved concept. The application itself was created and input was sought regarding recruitment for applicants. Outreach and Application Process In late April and early May, approximately 2500 application packets were sent to individuals, organizations and networks across the state including middle school and high school principals, 4H county youth agents, volunteer centers, homeless shelters/housing associations, Upward Bound programs, community foundations, Youth Volunteer Corps, Department of Social Service Volunteer Coordinators, Boys and Girls Clubs, Michigan Campus Compact Community Service Coordinators, urban leagues, and civic organizations (see attached for complete list). These had been identified by the original concept team and Commissioners. In addition to this outreach, staff and members of the Commission actively recruited young people to submit applications. The deadline for applications was June 8. When it was all said and done, the Commission had received 126 applications from young people in the state. Below is a breakdown of the applications received by some key categories: Gender female: male: 100 26 Type of School Grade k-12 public: k-12 private: college: 6th: 7th: 8th: 9th: lOth: 11th: 12th: HE: other: 107 11 8 2 Geography 2 6 16 12 25 38 17 8 2 Upper Peninsula: Northwest: Northeast: Central: Thumb: Southwest: Southeast: 4 6 2 25 21 28 40 �Selection Process A selection committee was formed of Commissioners and young people. All Commissioners who expressed an interest in working with the youth body were invited to review applications. The final selection committee consisted of: Diana Rodriguez Algra, Executive Director; Darin Day, Commissioner; Terry Langston, Commissioner; Randy Neelis, Commissioner; Cynthia Scherer, YES Ambassador; Trabian Shorters, YES Ambassador; Jen Bastress, student, University of Michigan, Project SERVE and Youth Service America Youth Action Council member; Tim Jacobs, student, All Saints Central High School, Bay Area Community Foundation Youth Initiative and Youth Service America Youth Action Council member; Erin Sullivan, student, Holt High School; and Chandra Doorn, student,Dewitt High School. Selection committee members were provided with copies of the applications, ranking sheets and potential interview questions. Selection committee members "met" twice. At the first meeting committee, members narrowed the pool of candidates to about 45. At the second meeting, the top fifteen were selected. In early July, applicants were notified of their status.

Young people must play a role in developing and planning policy in regard to youth service. While "youth advisory councils" exist at the local level and even within specialized organizations, there is a need to develop a network of youth in the field of service at the statewide level. Integral to the development of youth leaders is the sharing of information and experiences. It is for this reason that we believe that a statewide youth body on service should be developed in the state of Michigan. The Structure Name: The first group of young people selected to sit on this body will determine the name of the body. Size: This body would begin with fifteen members. The decision to expand beyond 15 will be given to the body itself (although we recommend 20 as the maximum number of members). Criteria for members: •Members of this body will range in age from 12 to 21, but most members will be between 12-18. •Members will be geographically, ethnically, racially economically and educationally diverse. •Through its membership the 4 streams of service (K-12, college, corps and community based organizations) will be represented. •Members will be youth facing problems and those working to solve the problems in our communities. • Members will be a mix of those from already existing networks/organizations and those representing themselves. Number of Meetings: This body will meet at least 3 times-per-year. The body, once constituted, will be able to amend the number of meetings per year to a number they feel is necessary to accomplish their goals and objectives. Regional meetings of members will also be encouraged as a means to decrease the degree of travel required. Training: Once constituted, the body will participate in a general team building experience and leadership/skills building training. The training will be developed in conjunction with the Executive Director and staff of the Michigan Community Service Commission and a number of organizations which provide training for youth within the state including the Michigan Campus Compact, 4H, Children's Charter of the Courts, National Youth Leadership Council and the Council of Michigan Foundations Youth Initiative. Ongoing training will provided as needed. Senior members of the youth body will become part of the training team. Orientation: After a team has been developed and members have undergone leadership/skills building training, members will receive an orientation to the "field of youth service" and expectations for the youth body. Orientation will be developed in conjunction with the Executive Director and staff of the Michigan 4 �Community Service Commission. Relationship of the body to the Commission: This youth body will be a standing committee of the Michigan Community Service Commission. A member of the Commission, who fits the age requirements of the body will "chair" the committee. The Committee will be proactive in regard to youth service policy in the state and will serve in an advisory capacity to the Commission. Relationship of Commissioners to the body: Commissioners will be encouraged to work with members of this body, but they will not be voting members of the body, except that member appointed chair of the body (see above), who will only be allowed to vote in case of a tie. In addition, Commissioners and members of the youth body who live in the same geographic area will be encouraged to meet between meetings. Relationship of YES Ambassadors: YES ambassadors, while housed within the Commission, will serve as staff support and act as a resource for the body. YES ambassadors will not be considered voting members of the body. Relationship of already established networks and "youth advisory councils": Like Commissioners, members of these already existing bodies will be encouraged to work with the statewide body. Members of already existing organizations may apply to be on the body, but slots will not be reserved for certain groups. The statewide body is committed to working closely with already existing bodies to build the network of youth leaders in the field of youth service. To ensure the participation of existing network the youth body will : 1) send agendas, minutes of meetings and updates; 2) ask representatives of existing networks to sit on sub-committees or task forces; 3) set aside time on their meeting agenda for reports from existing networks Term of Membership : Youth selected will serve staggering terms of 1, 2 or 3 years. At the first meeting lots will be drawn to determine each member's term of membership. Expectations for body: While a series of expectations have been outlined we believe that the youth body should be able to define its own goals and expectations based on the wants and needs of its members and their local communities. Initial expectations include: •Making recommendations to the Michigan Community Service Commission as they develop their youth service policy •Developing plans and proposals to help the Commission and local entities make service more accessible to young people •Performing outreach (contact with what's happening in community and sharing of information gained through participation on statewide body) •Participation in activities and projects sponsored at the state level by the Commission to promote youth service 5 �The Michigan Youth Progressive Action Council Initial Meetin2 This committee, which has been only a vision, finally came together for the first time September 1821, 1992 for a planning retreat in Ann Arbor. Names were put with faces, smiles were exchanged, and they began work. At this meeting, they established the name the Michigan Youth Progressive Action Council (MYPAC) along with a unique mission statement. An ambitious agenda was then set which includes coordinating exchanges between participants in outstanding community programs and lobbying the state legislature for more support of young people and youth service. These sixteen youth represent, virtually every cultural, geographic, socioeconomic, racial, and political background in the state. This diverse group established a very strong foundation at this initial meeting. A committee was formed, an agenda was formed, and friendships were formed. Partners in Service Each member of the MYPAC has been paired with a MCSC 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 area. Through Partners in Service, each Commissioner can share the valuable viewpoint of a young Michigan citizen, and each MYPAC member has access to the wealth of knowledge and experience each member of the MCSC offers. MCSC Retreat Friday, November 20 and Saturday, November 21, 1992, the MCSC, the MYPAC, and the staff convened a planning retreat at the Bellmont Manor on the campus of Albion College. The purposes of the meeting were to conduct strategic planning for 1993 and beyond and also for the MYPAC members and their Partner in Service to become acquainted. Upon arrival at Albion College, the MYPAC conducted a SWOT analysis. This is a group process that asses the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats facing the MYPAC. In the evening, the partners had dinner together and discussed some of the issues which they would be dealing with over the next few years. Each MYPAC member worked with their partner during the rest of the business meeting on Saturday. A number of goals and strategies for the upcoming year were established by both committees. Sprin2 and Summer Activities The next meeting of the MYPAC took place from April24 to April25, 1993 at Michigan State University. After a session of brainstorming our goals and priorities, the MYPAC decided that something more was needed in order to accomplish all of their tasks for the upcoming year. As a result, the formation of five very important committees came about.(See appendix B). Members of the MYPAC decided which committees they wished to serve on and then broke into groups. Within each committee, a list of guidelines, goals, and time lines were established. 6 �On the second day, the MYPAC had the opportunity to meet the Governor and the First Lady. Each committee gave a presentation to the governor outlining their major projects and issues. The meeting then broke into a question and answer session between the Governor and the MYPAC. many issues were discussed ranging from mandatory service-learning in schools to education reform. Governor Engler extended his support to the MYPAC and their achievements. Five members of the MYPAC were able to represent the council at the Michigan Campus Compact Leadership Conference from Friday, August 12 through Sunday, August 15, 1993 at Camp Miniwanca in Shelby, Michigan. The members attended various workshops on the different aspects of community service, including a hands-on community service project. The members that were in attendance were able to develop some methods for completing the Youth Voice Project over the next year. The next meeting was held on Saturday, September 11,1993 at Michigan State University. The members, who attended the MCC Conference, presented their progressions on the Youth Voice Project. Along with the presentation, the finishing touches were added the MYPAC Annual Report. At the meetings end, the MYPAC said its goodbyes to Darin Day, the YES ambassador for 1992-1993. However, along with the loss of a Mr. Day, the MYPAC was introduce to Sam Singh, the YES Ambassador for the 1993-1994 year. III.

Many members have given speeches, interviews, and participated on panels to discuss issues such as youth as resources, mandatory service requirement in schools, and education reform.(See Appendix E for individual speaking engagements) Youth Action Forums The Youth Action Forum idea was introduced to Michigan by our Points of Light Foundation Youth Engaged in Service Ambassadors. To date, we have had successful forums in Detroit in 1992 & 1993 and one in Mount Pleasant, Michigan in May, 1993. The town of Alpena is currently planning a forum for September, 1993. The Detroit forums brought together 700 young people to discuss community service in the context of issues ranging from AIDS to teen parenting. The Detroit forums closed with a Youth Speak Out in which teams of participants presented recommendations to City Councilmembers, members of the Board of Education, the Chief of Police, and other community leaders. In addition, the Detroit forums each included a highly attended day of service and a community service fair where community organizations were able to recruit youth as volunteers. At the Mount Pleasant forum, in place of the Speak Out, the 150 participants conducted a Strategy Forum where they began designing a community coalition of young people and adult community leaders who have pledged to work together to address the issues of self-esteem, racism, and substance abuse. Both the Detroit and Mt. Pleasant Forums established mini-grant programs to make funds available to young people to address identified issues. The Youth Action Forum is not only a place for youth to discuss their ideas about pressing social issues, it is also a place for young people to find the support to empower them to take action. 8 �Lansing Sate Journal Essay Contest The Lansing State Journal Essay Contest was held in the spring of 1992. The contest was open to all high school students in the circulation area of the Journal. All entries were 500 words or less with a selection team of youth reviewing them. The selection of award winning essays was based on the following criteria: clarity, thoughtfulness, creativity, and applicability. Out of the fifty essays received, the team choose three finalists. First Place Damaris Robertson $100 U.S. Savings Bond Second Place Vickie Sackett U.S. Savings Bond $75 Third Place Mary Anne Marie Parr $50 U.S. Savings Bond V. Youth Voice The MYPAC has been integral in promoting Youth Voice throughout the state of michigan. The MYPAC submitted a grant for $27,500 to the National Community Service Commission under Title E-Youth Voice. The MYPAC received the grant with the fund level at $25,000 and currently is in the implementation stage of administrating the money. MYP AC Meetings Travel and Meetings: $5,000 As a Standing Committee the MYPAC has the right and responsibility to introduce policies and programs to the full Commission, and to review all issues before action is taken by the MCSC. Moreover, two members of the MYPAC are also full voting members of the MCSC. The MYPAC is thrilled to serve as a model and provide technical assistance for developing statewide youth councils to California, Maryland, New Jersey, Ohio, and Pennsylvania. Because Michigan is a large state, convening the MYPAC is cumbersome and expensive. We manage these issues by convening small groups of MYPAC members regionally and by involving them, locally, with MCSC grantees, volunteer centers, and other relevant initiatives. In order to effectively facilitate strong youth voice at the state level, we feel the MYPAC must meet at least quarterly. Youth Speakers Bureau Printing, Training, & Travel Stipends: $4,000 There is an amazing untapped resource in Michigan: Youth as trainers, facilitators, keynote speakers, and workshop presenters. We see a need for identifying a strong pool of young people, training them, and marketing the idea of youth as resources for all youth oriented conferences, trainings, workshops, and seminars. Youth speakers and trainers would also be available to schools and community-based organizations for on-site training and speaking. Recognition Program No funding requested 9 �The Michigan Youth Progressive Action Council (MYPAC) introduces a unique approach to recognizing outstanding youth volunteers and service programs. We have designed at-shirt and a letter of congratulations from Michigan Governor John Engler and Michigan Community Service Commission (MCSC) Chairperson Michelle Engler. Based loosely on former Presidents Bush's Daily Points of Light, this recognition package will be presented to any outstanding young person or program which merits special recognition. To augment the highly structured and competitive annual Michigan Community Service Awards of the MCSC, the MYPAC recognition program has no application process and no deadlines. The idea is to simply recognize outstanding efforts on an on-going basis. We will use our networks in the K-12, Higher Education, Youth Corps, and Nonprofit communities to identify the people and programs in Michigan which really define the youth service movement in our state. Our YES Ambassador will be responsible for disseminating awards and keeping accurate records of recipients. Program Visits Travel Expense Grants & Training: $5,000 There is a significant number of outstanding service-learning and community service programs in Michigan. We would love to see many of them replicated. However, ours is a large and diverse state. The MCSC sees a need to facilitate opportunities for young people interested in starting or improving service initiatives to see how truly outstanding programs work. The MCSC will identify outstanding programs and prepare them as hosts and trainers. We will publish a directory briefly describing these programs and the specific areas in which they are exemplary (e.g. recruitment, reflection, community support). We will then make small travel expense grants available to young people to visit these programs for a day to see how they work and to discuss replication with program designers, managers, and participants. Our YES Ambassador will provide follow-up training and technical assistance to all Program Visit participants. Youth Action Forums $8,000 Competitive Sub-grant Program We would like to support the Youth Action Forum efforts throughout the state. To facilitate effective forums, we will develop an RFP which specifies quality assurance including principles of best practice. Local communities will be invited to compete for funding. Our YES Ambassador will work in new sites to organize a local planning coalition and provide training on the Youth Action Forum process. Statewide Conference on Youth Service and Philanthropy $5,000 Facilities & Logistics: 10 �A Cross-stream conference for young people on service-learning, community service, and youth as resources scheduled for Spring, 1994. Youth Engaged in Service (YES) Ambassador No Funding Requested Michigan has been honored as a Points of Light Foundation Youth Engaged in Service (YES) Ambassador Host State since 1991. Our YES Ambassadors have been a critical part of nearly all youth voice activities facilitated by the MCSC. The Ambassadors have been invaluable in the daily work of the Commission. In addition, our Ambassadors conceived, developed, and continue to provide staff support to the Michigan Youth Progressive Action Council. Moreover, although the MYPAC will coordinate and manage the following initiatives, it is the YES Ambassador who will provide the necessary staff support to make them a reality. 11 �VI.

The Commission was given the broad mission of developing a statewide service movement, which would focus initially on youth. The MCSC is currently composed of 21 members representing a broad constituency that includes community based agencies, higher education institutions, K-12, young people, organized labor, small business, 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. The Michi~an Princinles for Service Effective service is a process of lifelong learning and citizenship. Effective service must prove a lasting impact on participants and the community. Effective service provides individuals with the opportunities to practice their rights and responsibilities as community members. Effective service encourages inclusive communities to build bridges, respect uniqueness, and share resources for the common good. Effective service strengthens multi-cultural communities and affirms social diversity. Effective service requires organizations to be open, ready and capable of providing meaningful opportunities. Effective service requires all participants to be connected to the American social system allowing personal independence and creating community interdependence. Effective service charges all organizations and individuals to constantly develop strategies to achieve these principles.

The Commission realizes that its role in the community service arena involves the bringing together of service organizations, communities and their members for collaborative efforts and to act as a provider of technical assistance. Youth are continually seen as a major asset to and participants of the Commission and Michigan •s community service community. Efforts have been taken to include and highlight youth involvement in Commission decisions and initiatives. Two young people serve as commissioners. Our state has been chosen as one of nine states to host a Points of Light Foundation Youth Engaged in Service (YES) Ambassador to promote service and service learning among youth. The Michigan Youth Progressive Action Council (MYPAC) has secured $25,000 for Youth Voice projects under a grant from the Commission on National and Community Service. Michigan is looked upon as a national leader in community service and is heralded as a state with a vast and integrated community service infrastructure. Continuing efforts on the part of the Commission to guarantee Michigan's lead are listed below. The Mjchia:an Community Servjce Commission: • secured $1.6 million dollars in federal monies for the funding youth, community, education and corps community service initiatives (see "Application to the Commission on National and Community Service"). • has been featured as one of the leading states in the community service arena as part of a nationally distributed case study conducted by Youth Service America for the Corporation on National and Community Service. • is a major player in the National and Community Service Coalition. The Coalition is a body of community service organizations and individuals from around the nation. Members were solicited by the Commission on National and Community Service to provide technical assistance and consultation to federal legislators concerning laws and regulations in the area of service. • developed a national model for Youth Voice within the field of Youth Service named the Michigan Youth Progressive Action Council (MYPAC) which serves to represent youth in the State of Michigan (see Youth Voice). • has secured a Youth Engaged in Service (YES) Ambassador which serves to assist youth servicing agencies and schools in integrating Service Learning and community service into curriculums, projects and strategic planning processes. �The Michigan Conununity 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 frrst 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. �The Michigan Connnunity Service Plan The National and Community Service Trust Act of 1993 On September 21, 1993, President Bill Clinton signed into law theNational and Community Service Trust Act of 1993. This legislation provides for compensated community service participants called AmeriCorps, establishment of state commissions, federal recognition of the community service movement, and technical assistance and support for community service programs. The new task put to the Commission as a result of this legislation is to reconfigure its membership to be in line with this national legislation, establish procedures for placement of AmeriCorps participants and create evaluation procedures for programs funded under the 1993 Act. Staffing will need to expand to accommodate new and more challenging responsibilities. Michigan is in an unique position. With the establishment of a state commission by executive order in 1991 by Governor John Engler, Michigan asserted itself, again, as a leader in the community service arena. The 1993 Act requires that states appoint lead agencies to receive, manage and distribute federal dollars. Michigan's foresight in building a strong state-wide infrastructure places it ahead of many other states in its preparedness to receive federal monies for community service initiatives. You believe in idealism. And you practice idealism. And you learn that reaching for idealism is practical. And with time, and with a little care, you begin to see a little bit of light for places, before you found only darkness. And then you soon will find idealism is not only practical--but it is a reality. Mala Mirchandani, Student Community Service Award Recipient, Michigan Campus Compact Annual Conference, March 6, 1992. Mala Mirchandani's words have served as a rally cry and a focal point for the Michigan Community Service Commission. Much of the Michigan Vision reflects what is eloquently articulated in her speech. The Commission believes that community citizenry can be the most effective vehicles for service to others. It is only through the meeting of local needs and involvement of local citizens that community service can work. The Michigan Vision has operated on these basic principles and attempts to focus the attention of community service initiatives on communities. �The Michigan Vision directs and expands community service missions administered by the Commission. The ambitious goals scribed in this institution's framework through the Michigan Vision act to ensure the feasibility of the compressive, yet centered plans of the Commission. Great pride can be taken in this year's accomplishments. Steps toward involving youth voices in decision-making, planning for strategic placement in the future of the community service field and constant collaborative efforts keep the core themes of the Commission alive. Empowering communities to serve ensures the existence a body of citizens in service to Michigan. 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 Commission in 1992-1993. Encourage young people to become advocates for service and civic participation in their communities. One strategy will be to establish a statewide youth body on community service. This youth body will act as a standing committee of the Commission and will create a network ofyouth across the streams of service and ensure that young people will continue to play a role in the development of youth service policy. The Michigan Youth Progressive Action Council (MYPAC) was established in September, 1992 and consists of 16 members, ages 12 to 20, from every region of the state. The MYPAC continues offering its input by participating on all standing committees of the Commission. 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. Some MYPAC input include participating on screening committees for K-12, Higher Education and Youth Voice subgrantees and screening agents for award review committees for the Governor and Michigan Community Service Commission Community Service Awards. The Points ofLightFoundation Points of Light Youth Engaged in Service (YES) Ambassador has acted as an advocate for Youth Voice initiatives in Michigan. Youth Forums for youth expression and community service planning have been held in Mount Pleasant, Alpena and Detroit. Collaborative efforts have also been conducted by the YES Ambassador and community foundation Youth Action Committees. �The Michigan Vision 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 Governor and Michigan Community Service Commission Community Service Awards have been developed as a means to recognize positive efforts on the part of community members and organizations to engage in service programs. This award recognizes that there are several different citizen-based initiatives operating throughout Michigan that have made a noteworthy impact on communities and their members. Nomination categories include: Lifetime Achievement; Innovative Spirit; Youth, Adult and Senior Exemplary Community Service; Corporation/Business; Service-Learning Educator. Over 10,000 nomination forms were mailed out to community action agencies, intermediate school districts, local United Ways, churches, volunteer centers, and colleges and universities. Some 200 nomination forms returned for review by the selection committee. Final selections will be made in November, 1993. 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 and the National Service Trust Act of 1993, we strongly encouraged local partnerships. Indeed, in some categories collaboration is required. Using our grantmaking capacity as leverage, the MCSC has acted as a catalyst for communication at the local level which has led to some exciting and creative partnerships. This collaborative spirit is present across all streams of the MCSC's grantees and subgrantees. Coordinate program development and capacity building around the strengths and resources ofexisting 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, Conununity 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 still not at all clear that Michigan needs a state-level entity to function in this way. Further, there remains 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. The MCSC continues to develop and disseminate new tools and standards that promote community service and service learning. The Michigan Principles for Service were developed at a two-day work session held at the American Youth Foundation's Camp Miniwanca in Shelby (see "The Michigan Principles for Service"). These principles stand as a ruler to establish and evaluate service ventures. Identify and help coordinate public and private funding sources necessary to advance youth service. The MCSC continues to use its Fund Development Standing Committee to examine policy and guide initiatives toward establishing a stable funding base. Membership of the committee 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 and is moving forward to gain the same support from the National and Community Service Trust Act of 1993. 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 continuing to research 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 ofEducation and Labor, and Cooperative Extension 4-H, orfacilitate the development ofclearinghouses within each stream of youth service. The MCC has played the primary role in the development of several state clearinghouses on service and volunteerism. MCC is the host to the Midwest Regional Resource Center on Mentoring. Other initiatives include the Volunteer Centers of Michigan developing a toll-free statewide telephone volunteer referral service and the Partnership for New Education, in cooperation �The Michigan Vision 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 ofsuch organizations as theNational Youth Leadership Council's Michigan Service Learning Center, Michigan 4-H, High Scope Educational/Research Foundation, VolunteerCenters ofMichigan, 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 maintains 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. A major initiative in this area will be facilitated in 1994 by convening a meeting of informed and related parties to address the terminology and legal aspects of service and community service. 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. In addition, Michigan has developed its own set of standards (see "The Michigan Principles for Service"). Institute a process to unify program data collection and evaluation by establishing standards and objectives across all youth service program areas. The MCSC has drafted a set of evaluation requirements to be implemented across all program areas. Collaborative training efforts have been taken to train grantees on standards and �procedures established by Abt Associates Inc. and The Center for Human Resources, Brandeis University. 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 Michigan Serve-America Program received $623,217 in funding from the Commission on National and Community Service. In 1992, the Michigan State Department of Education and the MCSC received over 200 requests for funding of which 60 were awarded funding. Grants ranged from just under $2,000 to $30,000. A total of 173 applications have been received for 1993 ranging from $5,000 to $25,000. Final selection of awards has not yet been conducted. 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 ofthe 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. MCSC is in the processes of bringing together parties to examine the positive impact of service learning on education reform. This committee will include members from the Michigan Campus Compact, Colleges of Education, Intermediate School Districts, Service Learning Coordinators and the MCSC. Support work force 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. The MCSC continues to bring together members from K-12 education, community service, youth corps, higher education to link programs and emphases to ensure cohesive drives toward service and service learning. MCC is establishing a K-16 service learning coalition to examine furthering this goal. �The Michigan Vision EstabUsh 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. --See Application to CNCS, Subtitle C-- Facilitate the development of a Michigan Urban Youth Corps model from a combination ofphilanthropic and business funds. Initial discussions have begun in the City ofGrand 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 four years. The steering committee has begun to fmalize its basic focus. MCSC, through GVSU, has awarded a planning grant in the amount of$35,000 to develop a replicable youth corps model. In addition, the National Association of Service & Conservation Corps, through MCSC, has offered consultation and technical assistance to the steering committee. 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 corps 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. Michigan has been fortunate to have secured over $225,000 in 1993 funds from CNCS for a planning grant to further develop a community and national service model. MCSC has been able to retain a staff person to act as a Program Director for the CARES initiative. Implementation of a CARES programs should begin by September of 1994. Support the development of a statewide network of summer community-based 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. An all grantees meeting in the area of corps was held in Traverse City to update parties in the evaluation, continuation and documentation of corps projects. This was also an opportunity to update the grantees on the changes in the national service movement �Strides are being developed to network corps programs. A proposal has been submitted to the Kellogg Foundation for the creation of the Michigan Corps Coalition. This coalition will act as a unifying agent and information hub for all corps programs in Michigan. Designate and promote the Michigan Campus Compact as the higher education consortium responsible for coordinating a higher education service plan. Establish an in-state coUege service grant program administered by the MCC, ..uukr tJu C410rdbwtion mad final review of the state commission, to augment MCC' s cu"ent 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. The Michigan Campus Compact (MCC) continues in its role as the higher education consortium responsible for coordinating a comprehensive higher education service plan. MCC, through the Michigan Resource Services Center, remains committed to: providing support and resources to all Michigan institutions developing student community service projects; ensuring collaboration between groups working in the same area as well as transmitting learning and expertise across areas; and collecting resources already in existence on service learning in a vast array of areas. The Michigan Generation Grants Program distributed $250,000 to 19 programs in 1992 and hope to disburse $195,000 to 24 programs in 1993. The amount of the individual grants ranged from $10,000 to $45,000. �Applications to the Coininission on National and Co1n1nunity Service for 1992 through 1994 Michigan secured over $1,390,000 dollars in federal funding for community service initiatives in the 1992-93 funding cycle and $1,500,000 for 1993-94 cycle. A total of 90 grants were awarded in the areas ofK-12 education, Higher Education, and Youth Service Corps in 1992-93 and 99 in 1993-94. In the 1992-93 funding cycle Michigan was funded in three of the subtitle areas and in five areas in 1993-94. Michigan was the only state to receive funding for youth voice initiatives under subtitle E.

They served as volunteers for SAFE Place, Habitat For Humanity, Family and Child Services, Hope House, and other care facilities. The most significant project was the Paint Blitz which was a collaborative measure between the Corps and the Wilson neighborhood in Battle Creek. The after school program consists of youth working 2-3 hours a day for 4 days during the school years. Funding: $10,000 Participants: 20 Non-participants: 300 6. Menominee, Delta, and Schoolcraft Community Action Agency The Menominee, Delta, and Schoolcraft Community Action Agency's Youth Volunteer Corps operates in the cities of Escanaba and Gladstone. The main objectives of the program is to actively involve 50 youth between the ages of 13-18, who are a minority, low income student, or handicapped. The program is year-around and services the rural community in many capacities. The focus for the 1993-1994 is on the following aspects: educational, clerical, woodshop, health care, environment, and youth sports programs. The involvement of the schools and the retired Senior Volunteer Program (RSVP) will increase the public awareness and involvement. Funding: $20,000 Participants: 6 Non-participants: 67 7. Alpena Community College The Youth Volunteer Corps is sponsored by the Volunteer Center of Alpena Community College. The county is geographically isolated, economically depressed, and has a high unemployment rate. The YVCprograms combats these issues by participating in beautification and image- enhancement to help local leaders attract tourism dollars and potential employers. 140 teenagers participated in over 6000 hours of community service with 25 agencies during the 1993 Spring and Summer Program. The current youth board shall be identifying issues so the Corps can continue to positively effect their community. Funding: $31,000 Participants: 3 Non-participants: 300 8. Michigan State University Extension-Genesee County The host agency of the Youth Volunteer Corps is Michigan State University Extension. The Youth Volunteer Corps serves all of the Genesee County area and performs community projects based on the needs and request of the community. The YVC was formed in August of 1993 and has performed activities with the local United Way and the tutorial program at the Dort Oak Park Neighborhood House. �Michigan State University Extension-Genesee County (cont.) The YVCis hoping to have programs in all school districts this year with a focus on the local libraries and latchkey programs. Funding: $10,000 Participants: 20 Non-participants: 300 9. United Community Services of Metropolitan Detroit In 1991, United Community Services of Metropolitan Detroit sponsored the Detroit chapter of the youth volunteer Corps as a means to involve young people in volunteer activities. Since June of 1991, more than 1200 young people between the ages of 11-18 have made positive contributions. The Corp has both a full time summer program and a part-time school year program. Projects for the upcoming year include: working with Greening of Detroit to plant trees, packing emergency food boxes at Gleaners Community Food Bank, rehabilitating houses with Habitat for Humanity, as well as projects designed by volunteers. Funding: $25,000 Participants: 6 Non-participants: 1200 Full Time Youth Corps: 1. Urban League of Flint The Urban League of Flint- Flint Youth Service Corps is a year-round youth development program designed to provide long-term comprehensive training in the areas of education, work experience and life skills to increase the self-esteem and the employability of the participants. The targeted population is youth between the ages of 18-23 in Genesee County. The nature of the services being provided include an individualized self-paced instructional program based on a comprehensive assessment of each corps members instructional needs, the provision of work experience that includes a combination of physical improvement and human service work, the maximization of the health of members and follow-up to insure the corps member's retention in the Corps and work setting. Funding: $58,895 Participants: 37 2. Grand Valley State University Grand Valley State University has received a planning grant to develop a full time corps in the Grand Rapids area. The Grand Rapids Youth Corps plans to be in effect during the summer of 1994 and will expand into the year long program in the fall of 1994. The community has organized a steering committee to provide a focus for the development of the corps. The steering committee has constructed a vision and strategic plan and have begun planning for the kick-off activities. Funding: $30,000 Participants: 25 �E: Youth \ 'okc Acth·itics The MCSC and the MYPAC have been integral in promoting Youth Voice throughout the state of Michigan. The MCSC and the MYPAC submitted a grant for $27,500 to the Commission on National and Community Service under Subtitle E-Youth Voice. The Commission and the MYPAC received the grant with the fund level at $25,000 and currently is in the implementation stage of administrating the money. MYPAC Meetings As a Standing Committee the MYPAC has the right and responsibility to introduce policies and programs to the full Commission, and to review all issues before action is taken by the MCSC. Moreover, two members of the MYPAC are also full voting members of the MCSC. The MYPAC is thrilled to serve as a model and provide technical assistance for developing statewide youth councils to California, Maryland, New Jersey, Ohio, and Pennsylvania. Because Michigan is a large state, convening the MYPA Cis cumbersome and expensive. We manage these issues by convening small groups of MYPAC members regionally and by involving them, locally, with MCSC grantees, volunteer centers, andotherrelevantinitiatives. In order to effectively facilitate strong youth voice at the state level, we feel the MYPAC must meet at least quarterly. Youth Speakers Bureau There is an amazing untapped resource in Michigan: Youth as trainers, facilitators, keynote speakers, and workshop presenters. We see a need for identifying a strong pool of young people, training them, and marketing the idea of youth as resources for all youth oriented conferences, training, workshops, and seminars. Youth speakers and trainers would also be available to schools and community-based organizations for on-site training and speaking. Recognition Program The Michigan Youth Progressive Action Council (MYPAC) introduces a unique approach to recognizing outstanding youth volunteers and service programs. We have designed atshirt and a letter of congratulations from Michigan Governor John Engler and Michigan Community Service Commission (MCSC) Chairperson Michelle Engler. Based loosely on former Presidents Bush's Daily Points of Light, this recognition package will be presented to any outstanding young person or program which merits special recognition. To augment the highly structured and competitive annual Michigan Community Service Awards of the MCSC, the MYPAC recognition program has no application process and no deadlines. The idea is to simply recognize outstanding efforts on an on-going basis. We will use our networks in the K-12, Higher Education, Youth Corps, and Nonprofit communities to identify the people and programs in Michigan which really define the youth service movement in our state. Our YES Ambassador will be responsible for disseminating awards and keeping accurate records of recipients. �Program Visits There is a significant number of outstanding service-learning and community service programs in Michigan. We would love to see many of them replicated. However, ours is a large and diverse state. The MCSC sees a need to facilitate opportunities for young people interested in starting or improving service initiatives to see how truly outstanding programs work. The MCSC will identify outstanding programs and prepare them as hosts and trainers. We will publish a directory briefly describing these programs and the specific areas in which they are exemplary (e.g. recruitment, reflection, community support). We will then make small travel expense grants available to young people to visit these programs for a day to see how they work and to discuss replication with program designers, managers, and participants. Our YES Ambassador will provide follow-up training and technical assistance to all Program Visit participants. Youth Action Forums The Youth Action Forum idea was introduced to Michigan by our Points of Light Foundation Youth Engaged in Service Ambassadors. To date, we have had successful forums in Detroit in 1992 & 1993 and one in Mount Pleasant, Michigan in May, 1993. The town of Alpena is currently planning a forum for September, 1993. The Detroit forums brought together 700 young people to discuss community service in the context of issues ranging from AIDS to teen parenting. The Detroit forums closed with a Youth Speak Out in which teams of participants presented recommendations to City Council members, members of the Board of Education, the Chief of Police, and other community leaders. In addition, the Detroit forums each included a highly attended day of service and a community service fair where community organizations were able to recruit youth as volunteers. At the Mount Pleasant forum, in place of the Speak Out, the 150 participants conducted a Strategy Forum where they began designing a community coalition of young people and adult community leaders who have pledged to work together to address the issues of selfesteem, racism, and substance abuse. Both the Detroit and Mt. Pleasant Forums established mini-grant programs to make funds available to young people to address identified issues. TheYouth Action Forum is not only a place for youth to discuss their ideas about pressing social issues, it is also a place for young people to find the support to empower them to take action. To facilitate effective forums, we will develop an RFP which specifies quality assurance including principles of best practice. Local communities will be invited to compete for funding. Our YES Ambassador will work in new sites to organize a local planning coalition and provide training on the Youth Action Forum process. �I E: Youth Voice Activities Statewide Conference on Youth Service and Philanthropy A Cross-stream conference for young people on service-learning, community service, and youth as resources is scheduled for Spring, 1994. ..ichigan Youth Engaged in Service (YES) Ambassador Michigan has been honored as a Points of Light Foundation Youth Engaged in Service (YES) Ambassador Host State since 1991. Our YES Ambassadors have been a critical part of nearly all youth voice activities facilitated by the MCSC. The Ambassadors have been invaluable in the daily work of the Commission. In addition, our Ambassadors conceived, developed, and continue to provide staff support to the Michigan Youth Progressive Action Council. Moreover, although the MYPAC will coordinate and manage the following initiatives, it is the YES Ambassador who will provide the necessary staff support to make them a reality. l\'IYPAC Activities Partners in Service Partners in Service is the mentoring program which links members of the Michigan Community Service Commission with members of the Michigan Youth Progressive Action Council (MYPAC), a standing committee of the Commission. Both Commissioners and MYPAC members stand to gain a great deal from this kind of relationship. Commissioners will gain access to the valuable viewpoints and perspectives of a young person. In turn, MYPAC members will benefit from the wealth of knowledge and experience each Commissioner can offer. Through communication and cooperation the quality of input from the MYPAC will increase and the work of Commission as a whole will be enhanced. The staff of the Commission have paired each MYPAC member with a Commissioner from the same geographic area. Our hope is that Commissioners involved with Partners in Service will invite their MYPAC partners to travel to Commission meetings with them. Further, we strongly encourage each partner to meet and speak on the telephone frequently, as well as visit each others' programs. The focus of the Partners in Service relationship should be on discussing the work of the Commission and the role of the MYPAC in supporting it and pushing it forward. Lansing State Journal Essay Contest The MYPAC in conjunction with the Lansing State Journal sponsored the Lansing State Journal Essay Contest held in the spring of 1992. The contest was open to all high school students in the circulation area of the Journal. All entries were 500 words or less with a selection team of youth reviewing them. The selection of award winning essays was based on the following criteria: clarity, thoughtfulness, creativity, and applicability. Outofthefifty essays received, the team choose three finalists.
