Do you want to have it at the residence from 11:30 a.m. till12:30 p.m.? That would give all of the Executive Committee enough time to drive downtown and get to the 1:00 p.m. Commission meeting. Or would you rather have it here at MCSC Conference Room on 4th Floor? If you have it at the residence, would you want to serve lunch? Please note that the residence staff will be preparing for the reception scheduled for 5:30 p.m. relating to our Recognition Awards. Also what would be the purpose for this meeting? Let me know and I will get the memo out to the Executive Committee yet this week. Thanks!

OYERYIEW In October, 1991 the Michigan Community Service Commis.sion (MCSC) was created by Governor John Engler to promote community setvice and volunteerism as ways to effectively meet local needs. The Michigan Jobs Commission on the behalf of the Michigan Community Service Commission (MCSC) is sponsoring this competition and will request funding to support subgrant through funds authorized under the National and Community Service Trust Act of 1993. MCSC's mission is to encourage volunteerism, especially among young people, as an effective means of meeting the serious social challenges that face our communities today. The commission has been designated as Michigan's lead agency in applying for AmeriCorps funding from the Corporation for National and Community Setvice (The Corporation). On September 21, 1993, the President signed into law the National and Community Service Trust Act (the Act), which created The Corporation. The Corporation's mission is to engage Americans of all ages and backgrounds in community-based service. This service will address the nation's educational, public safety, human, and environmental needs to achieve direct and demonstrable results. In doing so, the Corporation will foster civic responsibility. strengthen the ties that bind us together as a people, and provide educational opportunity for those who make a substantial commitment to service. The Corporation will fund, and assist in developing, high-quality national and community setvice programs, and it will help facilitate the transfer of information and technical expertise. The Corporation will also fund and support service-learning programs where community-based organizations positively impacting youth in elementary, middle, and secondary schools (K-12) as well as programs that utilize the talents of older Americans. A separate application is available for those seeking Serve and Learn Community-based Organizations funding. The MCSC will be the lead contact for local communities to solicit funding for AmeriCorps and Learn and Serve - Community-based Organizations (CBO) initiatives. This application is intended ml1I for those interested in funding a program under the AmeriCorps plan. II. APPLICATION FOR CORPORATION RESOURCES--AMERICORPS AmeriCorps is about getting things done. It will engage the energy and idealism of the American people, especially young people, in meeting the most critical educational, public safety, human, and environmental needs of our communities. It will strengthen communities and the civic character of our people through service, and reward those who answer the call to service with enhanced educational opportunity. AmeriCorps will enable 1 �thousands of Americans to serve in a variety of programs on a full-time or pan-time basis before, during, or after post-secondary education. In building the national service system, the Corporation aitns to support locally driven programs that meet rigorous national standards. This strategy will enable communities across the nation to channel the unique talents and creativity of Americans toward effectively addressing their most important needs. Eli~ble Applicants. Programs eligible to apply to MCSC for AmeriCorps grants include a wide variety of community corps, youth corps, specialized service programs focusing on a specific community need, individual placement programs, campus-based service programs, programs that train and place service learning coordinators in schools or team leaders in corps programs, intergenerational programs, professional corps, and the like. III. AMERICORPS FUNDS Formula allotment funds: Based on a formula based on population, the State of Michigan has been allotted $1,909,484 in program funds and approximately 138 educational awards. These funds are not entitlements. The MCSC must provide the Corporation with a detailed description of the programs proposed for funding and all programs must meet both the high quality standards of the MCSC and the Corporation. Competitive allotment: In addition to the grants made available to Michigan by formula allocation, the Corporation will make funds and educational awards available to states on a competitive basis. In total, approximately $51 million will be available to states nationwide. The MCSC must provide the Corporation with a detailed description of the programs proposed for funding and all programs must meet both the high quality standards of the MCSC and the Corporation. IV. EDUCATIONAL AWARDS Because the Corporation has more funds available for educational awards than for program costs, they strongly urge applicants that have adequate resources to cover program costs to request educational awards only. It is important to note that the educational awards are not actually "awarded" to programs. The awards are kept in the Treasury in the National Service Trust Fund until participants claim them following successful completion of a term of service. Programs will receive a designated number of approved slots, but will not actually receive any monetary assistance from the Corporation. likewise, participants, upon claiming the benefits, will not receive their award directly, but rather it will be provided on their behalf to their designated institution of higher education, training program, or lending institution (if for the re-payment of a student loan.) The participants must expend the educational awards seven (7) years after the service is completed. V. RESTRICTIONS Applicants may not apply for assistance for a project in more than one application. That is, applicants may not include the same project in more than one application. For example, a national nonprofit awarded Corporation (AmeriCorps) funds under this application may give subgrants to enable local affiliates to run various projects, but those affiliates may not seek additional AmeriCorps funds for the satne projects through the State Commissions. 2 �VI. COMMJJNIIY IMPACT - DIRECT BENEFIT National service programs that will be funded by the MCSC must meet education, public safety, human, and environmental needs in the community, and provide a direct and demonstrable benefit that is valued by the community. Service that provides a direct benefit includes physical projects such as renovating low income housing or creating a playground in a vacant lot, and human service projects such as tutoring, mentoring or conflict resolution. Eligible activities also include supervising participants or volunteers whose service provides a direct benefit to the community. In all cases, service activities must result in a specific identifiable service or improvement that does not duplicate the routine functions of workers or displace paid employees. Activities that do not provide a direct benefit to the community, such as clerical work or research, may be performed if they are in support of a direct service. However, such activities may not be the primary activity of a national service program For example, a team whose project involves providing meals, transponation, and health services to the homebound may need to conduct a door-to-door survey of community residents to help locate those in need of services; if they then go on to provide those services, this kind of research would be an appropriate activity for the team. Prohibited service. Prohibited activities may not be performed by participants in the course of their duties, at the request of the program staff or in a manner that would associate the activities with the national service program or the State Commission. These activities include: • any effort to influence legislation, as prohibited under s 501(c) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (26 U.S.C. 501(c)); • organizing protests, petitions, boycotts, or strikes; • assisting. promoting, or deterring union organizing; • impairing existing contracts for services <r collective bargaining agreements; • engaging in partisan political activities, cr other activities designed to influence the outcome of an election to any public office; • engaging in religious instruction. conducting worship services, providing instruction as part of a program that includes mandatory religious education or wonhip, consttucting cr operating facilities devoted to religious instruction or worship, maintaining facilities primarily or inherently devoted to religious instruction cr worship, or engaging in any form of religious proselytization; and • providing a direct benefit to: (1) a business organized for profit; (2) a labor union; (3) a partisan political organization; (4) a nonprofit organization that fails to comply with the restrictions contained ins 501(c) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986; and (5) an organization engaged in the religious activities described above, unless Commission assistance is not used to support those religious activities. 3 �The Cm;poration and MCSC Priorities. In order to concentrate national efforts on meeting educational, public safety, human, or environmental needs, the MCSC, (in accordance with AmeriCorps), has identified priorities within each of the four main issue areas. Given the realities of limited resources and the extent to which other public, private and nonprofit responses to many of these needs already exist, it is important that the Commission suppons programs that undertake activities that have a maximum impact upon Michigan's communities. Unless there are compelling reasons to do otherwise, programs proposed for direct funding must address one or more of the following priority areas: education, environment, human needs, and public safety. Additional detail on each of these areas is outlined in the following text. (Applicants who are proposing programs that do not address the priority areas must provide reasons for not doing so in the application.) Education 1. 2. School Readiness: funhering early childhood development Examples include: • Improve the quality and availability of child development programs by working in day care and Head Start centers and preschool programs. • Teach literacy and other basic skills to parents of young children so that they can help their children learn. • Help teen parents stay in school by proving needed services, such as child care. School Success: improving the educational achievement of school-age children. Examples include: • Work in schools with high concentrations of low-income students. • Mentor, tutor, and provide after-school and SliiDIIlC'l' learning opportunities. • Coordinate service-learning activities for K-12 students. Epyjropmept 1. Neighborhood Environment: reducing community environmental hazards. Examples include: • Revitalize neighborhoods by creating and maintaining recreation areas, green spaces, and community gardens. • Eliminate environmental risks through education, testing, and cleanup. • Reduce waste trough energy efficiency efforts, recycling, and other conservation measures. 4 �2. Natural Environment: conserving, restoring, and sustaining natural habitats. Exaii?ples include: • Conserve and restore lands, forests, rivers, streams and wetlands. • Make parks more accessible through trail maintenance and infrastructure improvements. • Sample, map, monitor and record air and water quality and the status of ground water, land, plant, and animal resources. Human Needs 1. 2. Health: providing independent living assistance and home-and community-based health care. Examples include: • Providing independent living assistance and health care to homebound elderly, people with disabilities, and people living with AIDS. • Improving the health of low-income communities by offering preventive health services through community health clinics. • Offering prenatal care, parenting education, and health care to families of young children through home visits. Home: rebuilding neighborhoods and helping people who are homeless. Examples include: • Help people who are homeless by providing shelter support, assisting in moving into permanent housing, and related services. • Renovate and rehabilitate low-income housing. • Help individuals move from public assistance and into self-sufficiency by providing job training, literacy tutoring, and other services. Public Safety 1. Crime Control: improving criminal justice services, law enfcrcement, and victim Examples include: services. • Enhance community policing eff<Xts by working with local law enforcement. • Reduce specific crime problems such as drug dealing, domestic violence, crimes motivated by bias, crimes against senior citizens and child abuse. • Improve services available for victims of crime and strengthen innovative criminal justice programs, such as neighborhood courts and community restitution. 5 �2. Crime Prevention: reducing the incidence of violence. Examples include: • Reduce crimes against youth by making sch~ls safe, creating safe havens, providing training in conflict resolution, and involving youth in prevention efforts. • Provide substance abuse counseling and education. • Develop specific crime prevention strategies targeted at key locations such as playgrounds, public transportation points, and other public gathering places. VII. STRENGTHENING COMMUNITIES Programs must strengthen communities, bringing together both institutions and individuals to cooperate in bringing about lasting and constructive change. There are two basic elements to the "strengthening communities" component of the MCSC service plan. The first is at the institutional level, the second is at the participant level. Institutional lmRact Programs will impact institutions in a variety of ways. AmeriCorps is geared to be a infrastrucutre building component to supplement current community initiatives. All programs should address the following pertinent areas: organizational capacity, sustainability, diversity and replication. Or&anizational CApacity Buildin&. Programs must enhance their connection to the community. Local engagement in service efforts is vital to developing effective programs, and to sustaining and building Michigan's communities. Thus, programs must perform projects that are designed, implemented, and evaluated with extensive and broad-based local input, including, consultation with representatives from the commnity served. participants (or potential participants) in the program, community-based agencies with a demonstrated record of experience in providing services, foundations, businesses, and local labor organizations representing employees of service sponsors if these entities exist in the area to be served by the program. Consultations with labor organizations will assist in strengthening communities by offering programs the opportunity to collaborate with various sectors of the community that can provide technical expertise in substantive areas. The full range of Michigan associations -civic, educational, religious, social service, and business -- should utilize the MCSC' s service plan as an opportunity to join together in the common work of service. Sustainability. A program must have the ability to sustain itself beyond the period of MCSC/Corporation support. Programs must show evidence of broad-based community support, show presence of multiple funding sources, and illustrate cost effectiveness. Diversity. Programs can strengthen communities by involving individuals from the community, bringing together diverse participants in activities that encourage mutual understanding and cooperation. Programs must agree to seek to include participants from the communities in which project are conducted. as well as individuals of different races and ethnicities, socioeconomic backgrounds, both men and women, and individuals with 6 �disabilities. Those programs that de not achieve diversity among participants in all areas may seek it by involving a djverse group of addjfional volunteers in other service alongside regular participants. In assessing whether programs meet this requirement, the Corporation recognized that certain programs require the recruittnent of participant:s who share a specific similar characteristic or background. For example, a professional corps that requires participants to possess specific post-secondary training might lack certain types of diversity by design. However, in no case may a program violate the nondiscrimination and nondisplacement rules governing participant selection Programs that lack diversity in one or more aspects nevertheless must strive for diversity in other ways. All programs should undertake activities that will provide the following key areas: Replication. A program should measme its level of replication and be prepared to be a resource for others. Programs should be willing to share lessons learned from their experiences with other communities to further build infrastructures across Michigan and the country. Participant Impact Programs can seek dramatically different sorts of impacts on participants, depending on their designs. In professional corps, significant goals include improving particular skills and illustrating the importance of using specialized skills to address pressing needs. In service entrepreneurship initiatives, goals far participant impacts include the development of leadership and managerial skills. However, all programs should seek to instill a spirit of citizenship although programs will achieve this goal in different ways. Citizenship Programs must help participants develop, through their service experiences, the ethic and skills needed far productive, active citizenship. Programs should thoughtfully employ service-learning <r other educational methods in order to develop participants' skills in solving community problems, and to cultivate a lifelong ethic of productive, active citizenship.- Because voting is an imp<rtant component of citizenship, every program must ensure, in a non-partisan manner, that each participant who is eligible to vote register to vote. Irainin,. EdUCation. and Supervision. Programs must provide participants with the training, skills, and knowledge necessary to perform the tasks required in their respective projects. In fulfilling this requirement, programs should provide participants with background information on the community to help them understand why the service projects are needed. Programs may also provide, if appropriate, specific training in a particular field, including training and educational components designed to help participants explore career possibilities in areas such as child development, teaching, public health, or public safety. Support Services. Programs must provide support services that help participants: ( 1) who are completing a term of service to other educational and career opponunities and (2) who are school dropouts to earn equivalent of a high school diploma. 7 �VIII. ELIGWILITY. RECRUITMENT. AND SELECTION Tenus of Seryice. Programs may engage participants on a full-time or part-tune basis. Full-time participants must serve at least 1700 hours over 9 months to 1 year. Part-time participants must serve at least 900 hours over 2 years. If the part-time participant is enrolled in an institution of higher education while performing some or all of the service, the individual must provide at least 900 hours over a period of up to 2 to 3 years. Eli~bility for a Second Tenn. To be eligible to serve a second additional term of service, an individual must receive satisfactory performance review(s) for any previous term(s) of service. Mere eligibility for an additional term of service does not, however, guarantee selection or placement Participants' eligibility for second or a additional tenns of service must be based on a midterm and end-of-term evaluation of participants' performance, focusing on such factors as (1) whether the participant has completed the required number of hours; (2) whether the participant has satisfactorily completed assignments, tasks or projects; and (3) whether the participant has met any other performance criteria which were clearly communicated both orally and in writing at the beginning of the term of service. Selectiop. Flrst, the MCSC encourages programs to select participants, from their own communities, who possess leadership potential and a commitment to the goals of this service program. regardless of educational level, work experience, or economic background. Second, programs must select participants in a non-partisan, non-political, non-discriminatory manner. Third, programs must establish minimum qualifications for participants related to the service they will provide. Finally, programs must ensure that they do not displace any existing paid employees. The MCSC advocates for communities to recruit members of their community to fill the positions of the participants. However, there will be opportunities to recruit diverse participants from around the state and country. The Corpaation will create a national recruitment pool and the MCSC will develop a pool specific to Michigan to help facilitate some recruitment fer programs. The individuals in these pools will be those that have shown an interest in serving in different communities other than their own. The MCSC strongly encourages programs to select some participants from state and national recruitment systems in order to supplement local recruitment with people who: (1) are from different backgrounds and regions of the nation; (2) have special skills or training; and (3) desire to serve but live in areas where there are few or no national service programs. In an effort to defray costs associated with the transpcrtation of MCSC program participants from the national service participant pool, the MCSC, through the Corporation, will be able to pay the transpcrtation costs and in cases of hardship, relocation costs up to $550 for up to 10% of a program's service participants selected from the national recruitment system. Such costs are subject to certain conditions and restrictions. Participant Contracts. To ensure that participants understand what will be expected from them, programs must use participant contracts that stipulate terms of service, acceptable conduct, grievance procedures, and termination rules, and other assurances as required by the Commission and the Corporation. 8 �I X. PARTICIPANT BENEFITS Livin~ AlloWances. The program must provide an annuallivil_lg allowance to each full-time participant The amount of the living allowance must be at least, but not more than twice, $7,440 for fiscal year 1994 or about $4.40 per hour, assuming a total of 1700 hours served. No more than 85%, or approximately $6,324, of each participant's minimum living allowance and related employment taxes may be paid by the Corporation through AmeriCorps or other Federal funding sources. Programs may provide a prorated living allowance to part-time national service participants and to participants who are authorized to serve a reduced term of service. However, the Corporation will not pay more than 85% of the prorated living allowance. For programs utilizing part-time participants, the Corporation will fund up to 85% of the living allowance if the program chooses to offer a living allowance. The Corporation may waive or reduce the required living allowance if a program demonstrates that requirement is inconsistent with the program objectives and that the proposed living allowance is sufficient to meet the necessary costs of living (including food, housing, and transportation) in the program's area of location. Additionally, the living allowance requirement does not apply to programs that were in existence prior to September 21, 1993 or to a program that receives only service educational awards from the Corporation. Professional corps programs may provide participants a living allowance that exceeds the maximum amount ($14,880 for fiscal year 1994), but Commission funds may not be used to pay for any portion of the living allowance. Educational Awards,. An individual serving in a Corporation approved position will receive an educational award from the National Service Trust upon successful completion of each term of service for up to two terms. Full-time AmeriCorps service participants, upon successful completion of a term of service, will receive an educational award of $4,725. Part-time participants serving 900 hours will receive $2,363. Participants who are released by the program before completing a required term of service for demonstrated and compelling personal circumstances may receive a prorated national se:vice educational award, while participants who are released for cause may not The Corporation is requiring each applicant to describe the rationale for its distribution of educational awards to program participants. In general, this distribution should treat equally all participants doing the same <r substantially similar work. Nevcnheless, the Corporation recognizes that equal treatment may not be feasible <r desirable in some instances. Although the Corporation does not expect to fund programs in which unequal treatment is based on participants' financial need, it will evaluate on a case-by-case basis the rationales of programs that do not plan to provide all participants with educational awards. A program also could choose to offer alternative post-service benefits to participants in lieu of the national service educational awards provided by the Corporation. All Corporation programs are strongly encouraged to offer alternative post-service benefits, such as tuition credits at an institution of higher education <r transition assistance to participants who will not receive Corporation educational awards. 9 �Child Care· Programs must provide child care or a child care allowance to any full-time participant who needs such assistance in order to participate. All (100%) of the child care expenses will be paid by the Corporation, but those expenses must be estimated in the application. The Corporation defines need, to be consistent With Child Care and Development Block Grant Act of 1990, as follows: total family income of the participant must be less than 75% of the State median income; the participant must reside with and be a parent or guardian of a child under the age of 13; and the participant must not be receiving child care assistance from another source at the time of acceptance into the program, unless the participant would become ineligible for child care by virtue of enrolling in the program. To ensure that funded care meets minimum health and safety standards, the regulations also tie eligible providers and the amount of the child care allowance to the Child Care and Development Block Grant of 1990. Hea}th ~ Programs must provide health care benefits to full-time national service participants who are not otherwise insured The Corporation will defme a minimum benefits package that the MCSC will use, and up to 85% of the cost of an affordable policy that provides these benefits. Any program wishing to provide alternative benefits will need to obtain approval from the Corporation. Disability. Programs must provide reasonable accommodation, including auxiliary aids and services (as defined in S3(1) of the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (42 U.S.C. 12102(1)) based on the individualized need of a participant who is a qualified individual with a disability (as defined inS 101(8) of such Act (42 U.S.C. 12111(8)). Service programs funded through the MCSC may apply for additional financial assistance from the Corporation for the purpose of complying with this provision. X• PARTICIPANT RELEASE Reasons for Release. Programs may release participants for two reasons, for: (1) compelling personal circumstances or (2) for cause as defined by the MCSC and the Corporation, or by the program's participant contract. In both cases, programs have the primary responsibility for determining when to release a participant Participants released due to compelling personal circumstances may receive ~rated educational awards while participants released for cause may not. Release for Cause. Programs must release participants for cause if they are convicted of a felony. If participants are charged with a violent felony or the sale or distribution of a controlled substance, or if they are convicted of the possession of a controlled substance, or if they are convicted of the possession of a controlled substance, programs must suspend their service without a living allowance and without receiving credit for hours miw:d. Programs may add additional provisions for releasing participants for cause in the participant contract. A participant who is wrongly released or suspended for cause will receive credit for any service missed and back-pay for missed living allowances. The legislation further describes the conditions under which participants whose service has been suspended may be reinstated, the impact of release for cause, and the grievance procedure available to participants. 10 �Guideline. Programs must establish written guidelines, to be incorporated into the participant contract, that explain the circumstances under which participants will be released for cause. X I. MISSION. OBJECTivES ANJl EVALUATION Mission aod Awual Objectives. Programs must establish a mission statement and annual objectives covering each of the following: meeting community needs, strengthening community, and developing participant citizenship and other skills. Although the relative significance of different objectives will vary by program type, in general, the community impact objectives will bear considerably greater weight in the selection process than the community strengthening and participant development objectives. Internal eyaluation/Monitorin~. Programs must track progress towards the annual program objectives. Programs must monitor the quality of services provided, the satisfaction of both persons served and program participants, and management effectiveness. Internal evaluation and monitoring should be a continuous process, allowing for frequent feedback and quick correction of weaknesses. Internal evaluation and monitoring approaches such as community advisory councils, participant advisory councils, peer reviews, quality control inspections, and customer and participant surveys and encouraged. Comoration Eyaluatiop. Programs must cooperate with the Corporation through the MCSC and its evaluators in all MCSC and Corporation monitoring and evaluation efforts, including in-depth studies of selected programs. Additionally, programs must collect and submit to the Corporation the following data: (1) information on participants including the total number of participants in the program, and the number of participants by race, ethnicity, sex, age, gender, economic background, education level, disability classification, geographic region, and marital status and (2) information on services conducted in areas classified as empowerment zones (or redevelopment areas) including areas that are adversely affected by Federal actions related to the management of Federal lands, in areas that are greater than the national average. Additional data may be collected and submitted if the program deems it appropriate. XII. NATIONAL IDENIIIY Identification. To help promote a national identity fer all AmeriCaps programs and participants, programs must agree to identify the program, through the use of logos, common application materials, and other means, as part of a larger national effort and to participate in other activities such as common opening ceremonies (including the administration of a national oath or affirmation), service days, and conferences. A national service programs may continue to use its own name as the primary identification, logo, or other identifying materials on uniforms or other items. Start of Oj)eratiops. Programs must agree to begin operations in late May or June, late August or September, or January. Creating "classes" of participants who begin and "graduate" from their terms of service at the same time will help create a national identity. In addition, programs must agree to fill all national service positions left vacant by attrition by no later than six weeks after the program starting date. This requirement reflects the consideration that continually filling positions left vacant by attrition may erode the sense of cohesion among participants and other national service programs. This requirement will also facilitate recruiting in concert with the academic calendar years. 11 �XIII. BUDGET AND GRANT REOUIREMENIS Prowro Cost. Corporation funds may not exceed 75% of the program's (whether the program is·a grantee or subgrantee) total cost. The program must provide the remaining share of funds through cash or in-kind contributions. In-kind contributions are the value of goods or services donated by a third party in suppon of the project. The remaining share of funds may come from Federal, State, or local sources. However, the Corporation may waive the budget match requirement if it determines that there is a lack of available financial · resources at the local level. Liyin~ Allowance. For each eligible participant, no more than 85% of each participant's minimum living allowance and related employment taxes may be paid by the Corporation or other Federal funds. Child Care Allowance. For each eligible participant, the Corporation will pay 100% of the child care allowance, or, if the program provides child care through an eligible provider, the actual cost of the care or the amount of the allowance, whichever is less. Hea}th Care Allowance. For each eligible participant, the Corporation will pay up to 85% of the cost of an affordable policy that provides minimum benefits. The Corporation will not pay any share of the cost of a policy that does not include the minimum benefits package as defined by the Corporation_ National Recruitment. The Corporation will pay the transponation cost, and in cases of hardship, ielocation costs of up to $550 for each participant, up to 10% of a program's participants, selected from the national recruitment system. Such costs are subject to certain conditions and restrictions. Administrative Costs. Not more than 2.6% of the grant amount may be used to pay for administrative costs. Administrative costs are costs associated with the overall administration of an AmeriCorps program. Such costs include the following: (1) indirect costs (i.e., costs identified with two or more cost objectives but not identified with a particular cost objective) as described in applicable provisions of Office of Management and Budget Circulars that relate to indirect costs; (2) costs for financial, accounting, or contracting functions; (3) costs for insurance that protects the entity that operates the program; and (4) costs for salaries and benefits of the direcur and any other administrative staff of the program. Administrative costs do not include allowable costs directly related to program operations, such as: (1) costs for living allowances and training of participants; (2) costs for staff training; (3) costs for travel; (4) costs related to the evaluation of the program; and (5) costs for salaries and benefits of staff who recruit, train, place, or supervise participants. Particular costs such as those associated with staff who perform both administrative and program functions may be prorated between administrative costs and costs directly related to program operations.

Program must comply with all applicable OMB circulars for grant management and Federal laws, including the supplementation, nonduplication, and nondisplacement provisions set forth in 45 CFR 2506.2. XIV. PROGRAM CHARACTERISTICS Promm Tm;s. Applicants have a great deal of flexibility to design programs that will best achieve the three types of impacts: "getting things done" in communities, strengthening the ties that bind communities together, and improving the citizenship and skills of participants. This flexibility includes the ability to target individuals of a certain age or skill level to participate; involve appropriate partner organizations to train, supervise, or support participants; and place participants individually in project or organize them in teams. Similarly, programs may determine whether a full-time or part-time schedule is more appropriate to the program's goals, and if participants may serve for a second term within the same program. for example, as a team leader. Promm ~. Programs must be large enough to achieve a demonstrable impact on the community served. Thus, while the actual size of each program may vary depending on the size of the community in which in operates, the design of the program, and other factors, the Corporation encourages programs to enroll at least 20 full-time equivalent participants, reg~ess of whether participants are placed individually or in teams. 13 �XV. SELECTION CRITERIA Planning Grants. The MCSC and the Corporation may fund planning grants in fiscal year 1994. In evaluating applications for planning grants, the criteria discussed above relating to program concept, organizational capacity, need, and program and participant mix will apply. In addition, they will consider the quality of the plan for developing the program, the track record of the organization in launching new initiatives, and the appropriateness of the planning budget. Each planning grant will be limited to a $50,000 maximum. Proposals for planning grants will be entered into the pool of proposals for competitive funding through states and nm the formula allotment. Qperatin~ Grants. In selecting among applications for operating grants, including educational awards, and applications for educational awards only, the Corporation and the MCSC will apply the following criteria: • Demonstrated need; • Quality and innovation of the concept and design of the program; • Track record, experience and capacity of the sponsoring organization; • Sustainability Nw[ClQ%) In selecting programs, MCSC and the Corporation will take into consideration the extent to which both the progxam overall and its particular project will address needs important to the community and be conducted in areas of need as defined in the legislation. Legislated areas of need are: • Communities designated by the Federal Government or states as empowerment zones c:r redevelopment areas, targeted for special economic incentives, or otherwise identifiable as having high concentrations of low-income people. • Areas that are environmentally distressed. • Areas adversely affected by Federal actions related to the management of Federal lands that result in significant regional job losses and economic dislocation. • Areas adversely affected by reduction in Defense spending or the closure or realignment of military installations. • Areas that have unemployment rates greater than the national average unemployment fer the most recent 12 months for which satisfactory data are available. Quality (70%) a. Promm Desim (4()%l. The MCSC and the Corporation will consider the quality of the program based on: the potential impact of using proposed national service participants to meet the community needs being addressed; 14 �inclusion of a clear and compelling mission statement; identification of specific objectives and indicators of success; development of an effective recruitment, selection, and training plan for s~ and participants, including recruittnent of participants and staff from the community to be served; ability to provide appropriate supervision, counseling, service-learning and other education opportunities, and outplacement to participants; the involvement of participants and community residents in the design, operation, and leadership of the program; development pf a sound plan for continually improving the program based on self-assessment and monitoring of community and participant satisfaction with work perfonned; inclusion of an appropriate organization and staffing plan; and the program's cost-effectiveness in achieving identified outcomes, including per participant cost b. Or~anizational Capacity C30%). The MCSC and the Corporation will consider organizational capacity based on: the quality of the leadership of the service program; the past perfonnance of the organization or program; the organization's connection to the community; the extent to which the program builds on existing programs; evidence of strong and broad-based community suppon for the program; and availability of additional funding sources for the program. An application proposing the replication of an existing program will also be evaluated based on the success of the program in its original site, including the results of any evaluation undertaken; the program's analysis of the strengths and weaknesses of the mginal program; reasons for selecting the replication site and discussion of adjusttnents needed for adaptation to a new site; and the qualification of the leaders of the program at the new site. Sustajpabilitv UQ%) The MCSC and the Corporation will consider the ability of the program to sustain itself beyond the period of Corporation support; presence of multiple or private funding sources; and cost-effectiveness. Additional consideration will be given to programs that significantly exceed the match with non-Federal funds; and to State departments that are providing a substantial match to Corporation funds. Ippoyatjop awl Replicatiop (JQ%) The MCSC and the Ccxporation will consider the degree to which needs coincide to program design. the innovative aspects of the program, and the appopriateness of replicating the program in the future. XVI. PRIORITY CONSIDERATION In addition to the criteria oo which individual applications will be ~ MCSC and the Corporation will give priority consideration to the following issues: • Start Date. The MCSC and the Corporation is especially interested in funding programs that will be able to stan up quickly, in September 1994, after completing an appropriate planning phase. 15 �• Participant Diversity. The MCSC and the Corporation seek a broadly diverse participant pool that includes a large representation of young adults; proportionate ratio of individuals who have not attended college and _those with college-education experience; approximately equal numbers of men and women; individuals of all races and ethnicities; and individuals with physical and cognitive disabilities. • Prowro lJlx<. The MCSC and the Corporation anticipates funding a range of program types that will yield the desired participant pool. Due to the large number of pre- or non-college youth who are participating in existing youth service programs eligible for Corporation funding under other applications, the Corporation will give priority consideration under this application to applicants proposing programs that involve significant numbers of participants with college-education experience. Because most existing youth service programs address a variety of issue areas, the Corporation will also give priority consideration to programs focused on particular national priorities. • Geowwhic Diversity. The MCSC and the Corporation will ensure that the programs funded are geographically diverse and include projects in both urban and rural areas. • Geowwhic Concentration. The MCSC and the Corporation may fund programs that will enable it to test the effect of concentrating a critical mass of participants in a small geographic area such as a rural community, small city, or part of a larger city. • Special Considerations. The MCSC and the Corporation will give special consideration to programs able to start-up quickly as a result of having completed a planning phase; programs having start dates in late May or June, late August or September, or January; programs seeking participants with college education experience; and programs able to leverage funds at a level beyond that required by the Act.

Name: Title: Signature: Phone: 24 Date: ��Directions The Mission Swement should express the JXOgram 's vision with regard to the three key goals of national service --meeting community needs, strengthening communities, and developing participant citizenship and skills. Here you should indicate the ultimate impacts that you wiSh to achieve--"reduce violence in schools," and the like. Please be aware that to demonstrate the impact of national service grants, the Corpaation may assess your pgoram 's success in achieving its mission, but you will not be responsible for this type of evaluation. your mission statement shgould therefore be geared to the most ambitious goals you believe that you can achieve, even if you do not believe you can measure them on your own. Your Annual Objectives should be derived from your mission statement and should reflect as directly as possible your desired impacts. You will be responsible for assessing your success in achieving your annual objectivies. These should be quantitative wherever possible and, in all cases, demonsttable. Each objective should address only one activity, include only one result, and provide at least one indicator of quality or customer satisfaction. For example: "To assist500 homebound elderly to live inckpen.tkntly with 80% of the involved elderly indicaJing thaJ they could not live independently without this assistance." To the extent possible, programs should develop outcome objectives that indicate real changes in the performance or activities of communities cr individuals: in a tutoring program, level of improved academic achievement; in a safe schools program, percent of reduction in school violence; in a homelessness program, number of transitions to permanent housing. The Corporation recognizes, however, that impacts are often hard to measureand difficult to assign speciflCally to one intervention. In these cases, other indicatas of success, such as staff satisfaction, may be more appropriate. The Corporation encoruages programs to develop innovative ways to demonsttate impacts, such as customer surveys and before/after videotapes, along with the more traditional measures such as test schores, graduation rates, and staff satisfaction rates. As a rule, programs should seek to establish the most ambitious objectives whose achievement they will be able to clearly demonstrate. Example objectives rollow. They represent only a suggested form for such objectives; you are encouraged to be both creative and realistic as you design objectives for your own program. Community Impact Examples Educatioa • To provide an avrzage of five hours of tutoring·weekly to each of 200 junicr high school sutdents, with 50% improved test performance and 80% teacher satisfactioo. HumaD Services To rehabiiwe 20 low-income housing units, achieving "significant improvement" ratings from 35% of neighborhood residents polled after project completion. EoviroameDt To construct 10 miles of hiking trails, obtaining 85% "excellent" ratings on the trails from trail users surveyed after completion. Public Sarety To provide 2000 how's of violence prevention patrols in 10 high-violence schools, resulting in a 33% decline in violence. Community-Buildini EXIJJ)plcs To form partnerships with 5 compancies as reflected by co-sponsored activities and subslantial involvement by company penonnel To build JX'Ogr&m capacity by forming partnerships with 3 community-based organlz.atioos as demonstrated by cosponsaed projects and usc ol shared resources. Participant Deyelapment ExamPles • To develop a sustained commitment to educatioo in 60% of participants, as demonstrated by continued work in the field of cducatioo during the next year.

One of the perils of such a comminnent is that more and more information becomes available almost weekly. Therefore, the following information is being provided as an update to Michigan's potential applicants for AmeriCorps funding. Where possible, the additions are referenced to the appropriate section in the original AmeriCorps Request For Proposal. Please understand that we will send more information as it becomes available. XVIll Application Guidelines (page 20) (b) Proeram Desi~n Participant training and support Programs need to build transportation and lodging costs into their budget for participant training at both the local and state levels. Vlli Eligibility, Recruitment and Selection Terms of Service Part-time participants may complete their term(s) of service in any hour combination so long as they complete 900 hours within two or three years. Those participants IWt enrolled in an institution of higher education must complete their 900 hours within two years. XIV Budget and Grant Requirements Administrative Costs The MCSC and the Corporation for National and Community Service will allow administrative costs, but those costs shall not exceed 5%. This is a revision from the 2.6% cap in the initial RFP. Fee for Service Programs are allowed to use fee for service revenues collected from non-federal sources for all cash or in-.kind matches specified in the Michigan AmeriCorps RFP. Education Awards Only Grants (page 22) Education Awards Only Grants have all the same program requirements as operating grants. The purpose of these awards is to provide national service educational awards to programs that do not apply for operating grants but that do meet the AmeriCorps program requirements and are judged to be high quality according to the program criteria. Applicants requesting Education Awards Only Grants must provide all the information required of the operating grants. However, the budget request will solicit only education awards and not other operational funds from the Corporation. No match requirement exist for the educational awards. revised March 14, 1994 ��Health Care benefits for full-time participants. A full-time participant is eliaible for health care benefits if he or she is not othe["INise covered by a health care policy= providing minimum benefits established by the Corporation at the time he or she is accepted into a program. If. as a result of participation. or if. during the term of service. a panicipant demonstrates loss of coverage through no deliberate act of his or her own. such as parental or spoasal job loss or disqualification from Medicaid. the participant will be eligible for health care benefits. Background. For the first program year the Corporation has set the Minimum Benefits. described below, that programs with existing health benefit coverage must meet or exceed. The Minimum Benefits are lower than the benefits that the Corporation considers desirable for eligible participants. The Minimum Benefits were adopted in consideration of the multiplicity of current health care policies and the frequent requirement that they be used for all participants or members of an organization. To encourage the use of more suitable coverage. the Corporation will facilitate access to a policy designed for AmeriCorps participants. It is the intent of the Corporation to develop a uniform health care policy for the second program year that provides more generous benefits than the Minimum Benefits described below. Requirements. Grantees must provide health benefit coverage for eligible participants in accord with the following: (1) Programs with existing health benefit policies that meet the minimum benefits may: use their current health care coverage. or choose the Alternative Health Care Policy; and (2) Programs that do not have health care coverage or have coverage that does not meet the Minimum Benefits described below must use the Alternative Health Care Policy unless granted an exception by the Corporation. Minimum benefits. The following minimum benefits must be provided or exceeded for programs with existing health benefit coverage: Covered Services: physician services for illness or injury hospital room and board emergency room x-ray and laboratory prescription drugs Lirnjted Coverage mental/nervous substance abuse Annual Limits Deductible Coinsurance Not more than $250 per individual Participant pays not more than 20% or alternatively, a comparable fixed fee Exception: mental and substance abuse at 50% Not more than $1.000 per individual At least $50.000 Out-of-pocket Maximum Benefit Programs electing to use current health benefi~ that mee~ the abo.ve ~inimum. benefit requirements will be required at time of selecuon to provtde specific mformauon on the benefits and policy.

The Corporation will pay 85% of the c~st ?fa policy that ~eets the requirements defmed above and are and are not excessive m cost as dete~med by the Corporation. The Corporation will not pay any share of the cost of the policy that does not include the Minimum Benefits. ��Administrative costs. Nut more than 5% of the grant amount may be used to pay for administrative costs. [State Commissions are directly funded for their administrative activities, which include program oversight, and are eligibk to receive up to $100,000 for Program -Development Assistance and Training. Thus, States are encouraged to provide the fullS% of CorporatWn funding for Administrative Costs to the operating AmeriCorps programs. In no case should the State Commissum retain more than 1% of the Administrative Cost associated with a CorporatWn funded program. Exceptions to this may be approved by the Corporation on a case-by-case basis ifjusti}Ud.j Administrative costs are expenses associated with the overall administration of a Corporation funded program. These costs relate to the support of a program's general operations and not to expenses identified with a specific program or project. Administrative costs include the following: (1) indirect costs (i.e.. costs such as legal staff. central management and support functions that are not specifically assigned to projects on an hourly or use basis but are accumulated as a whole and proportionately spread across projects usually as a percentage of the project costs) as described in the Office of Management and Budget circulars A-21 (Cost Principles for Educational Institutions). A-87 (Cost Principles for State and Local Governments). and A-122 (Cost Principles for Nonprofit Organizations) that relate to indirect costs; (2) costs for financial. accounting, auditing, internal evaluations (except as in the unallowable costs described below), and contracting functions; (3) costs for insurance that protects the entity that operates the program; and (4) the portion of the salaries and benefits of the director and any other program administrative staff equal to the portion of time that is not spent in suppon of specific project objectives. meaning recruiting, training, placing, or supervising participants. Administrative costs do not include -allowable costs directly related to program or project operations. such as: ( 1) costs for participants, including living allowances. insurance payments. and expense for training and travel; (2) costs for staff who recruit, train. place. or supervise participants; (e.g. salaries and benefits expenses and training and travel expenses if the purpose is for a specific program or project objective training; and (3) costs for independent evaluations and internal evaluations·- the latter to the extent that the evaluations cover only the funded program or project and are specifically related to creative methods of quality improvement. (Overall organizational management improvement costs are administrative costs.) Particular cosrs. such as those associated with staff who perfonn both administrative and program functions, may be prorated between administrative and program costs if included in the budget and approved by the Corporation grants officer. ��.

OYERYIEW In October, 1991, the Michigan Community Service Commission (MCSC) was created by Govemcr John Engler to promote community service and volunteerism as ways to effectively meet local needs. Currently, the Michigan Community Service Commission is housed in the Michigan Jobs Commission. MCSC's mission is to encourage volunteerism, especially among young people, as an effective means to meet the serious social challenges that face our communities today. The commission has been designated as Michigan's lead agency to apply for AmeriCorps funding from the Corporation fer National and Community Service (the Corporation). On September 21, 1993, the President signed into law the National and Community Service Trust Act (the Act) which created the Corporation. The Corporation's mission is to engage Americans of all ages and backgrounds in community-based service. This service will address the nation's educational, public safety, human, and environmental needs to achieve direct and demonstrable ~IS. In doin& so, the Cuporation will foster civic responsibility, strengthen the ties dw bind us together as a people, and provide educational oppcrtunity for those who make a substantial commitment to service. The Corporation will fund, and assist in developing, high-quality national and community service programs, and it will help facilitate the transfCI' of ilifcmnarion and technical expertise. The Corporation will also fund and support service-leaminl programs where community-based organizations positively impact youth in elementary, middle, and secondary schools (K-12) as well as programs that utilize the talents of older Americans. The MCSC will be the lead concact fm local con:munities to solicit funding for Amc:riCorps and Learn and Serve - Coumunity-bued (CBO) initiatives.

Box 30015 ·Lansing, MI 48909 Phone (517) 335-4295 �Chan~:es and clarifications for Learn and Serve MI-CBO Q: Can the same organization but in different geographic regions be considered a partnership? A: No. In the state of Michigan, no parent organization or affiliate may partner with themselves in any combination to meet the collaboration/partnership requirements of this grant. A parent organiiation shall be any organization that consists of affiliate organizations in different geographic locations and share similar visions, purposes, and/or mandates. Q: Where does Adult Education fit in Learn and Serve MI-CBO? A. Learn and Serve funds are meant to enhance the education process for K-12 aged youth. As long as the participants in a Serve and Learn grant are K-12 aged youth, it doesn't hinder those youth from addressing adult education needs. For example, high school students could work on adult literacy programs, meeting both the needs of youth and adults. Q; What is the difference between Learn and Serve K-12 school based and Learn and Serve K-12 Community-based? A: Both programs enhance the learning of K-12 school aged young people but they differ in their approach. The School-based is handled through the Department of Education. There is a potential of $725,795 in this pot of money. The money is available to local and intermediate school districts and will be reviewed in a statewide competition. The RFP's won't be available for at least a month. For more information contact Elaine Gordon at (517) 373-1809. The Community-based section is handled through the Michigan Community Service Commission. The money is available to community-based organizations (CBOs) that are in partnership with another CBO or Local Education Agency. There is potentially $125,000 available to Michigan through a nationwide competition. The Michigan Community Service Commission highly recommends groups that have strong affiliation with schools and school districts to have the school apply through the Department of Education's School-based section because there is more available funds with only a statewide competition rather than the Commission's nationwide competition. Q: Will previous grantees under Serve-Michigan grants receive preferential treatment? A: In Michigan there will be no preference given to previous grantees in the Learn and Serve MICBO. IMPORTANT.

Five were new initiatives and three had been in operation 1 to 2 yean 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 Reguestini' Fundini' 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.

MICHIGAN STATE UNIVERSITY EXTENSION March 22, 1994 Michelle Engler Chairperson, Michigan Community Service Commission FAX: 517-373-4977 Terry Pruitt Vice Chair, Michigan Community Service Commission FAX: 517-496-6487 Dear Michelle and Terry, Regrettably, I will not be able to attend the next Commission meeting due to a prior commitment out of town. I realize this will be a speCial time for the Commission due to various developments nationally and the special festivities after the meeting. My thoughts will be with you and the Commission for at least a portion of the time while I'm in New Mexico on business. As you know, the last few months have been an extremely busy and exciting OFFICE OF THE DIRECTOR Governmental RelaliO!lS 108 AgriCulture Hall East Lansing, Michigan 48824-1039 517 i 355·2361 FAX: 517 1355·13473 Michigan Stale /.JnMirslty Extension ,1nd 1711ltefi~ Jte O(JBn /o JJ/ willlout fel}illf1 to race.

I have had the privilege to work closely with the_staff during this time including accompanying them to a workshop in January conducted by the Corporation. Clearly, Michigan is seen as a leading state and the Commission 1S staff has been a resource to other states, and the Corporation. The reason for this letter is to provide an observation and to suggest an opportunity. The National Commission, now the Corporation, has emphasized greater state and local decision making and empowerment These values are consistent with the federal law that created the Corporation and Vice-President Gore's National Performance Review. However, since the preliminary regulations were issued in early January, I have observed a gradual deterioration of these values as presented by the Corporation which basically reduce state commission functions to a fiduciary role. It appears every decision by state commissions will be reviewed and could be rejected. A good example of this is the process to select and approve applications for AmeriCorps funded from the formula funds which will require Corporation approval. In this instance, I believe the state commission should have freedom to select applications as long as they comply with the basic provisions of the regulations. I have discussed this concern with the staff of �TO March 22, 1994 Page 2 our Commission but not with any commissioners. If this is a concern of other commissioners, I suggest our concerns be expressed in writing to the Corporation as soon as possible. In terms of an opportunity, I believe there will be more good proposals for AmeriCorps and the Learn and Serve categories under the jurisdiction of the Commission than can be funded by federal resources. Is it possible for the Commission to request additional state funds to support .more grants to communities? I realize the state currently has a considerable investment but this may be wise commitment to supplement federal support. If time permits, I hope these items can be discussed at our next Commission meeting. Lastly, I know all of us feel happy as well as sad that Diana Algra is now on the staff of the Corporation. This is a tremendous opportunity for her but a real loss to our state. However, 1 look forward to participating in the process to select our next executive director. These are exciting times for community service and it is an honor for me to be a supporter. MJT/jkk cc: Unda Kinney ~ .-.

If we proceed with this agenda, several items may need action taken prior to the meeting, as detailed below. Please advise if you will personally undertake the activities, would like me to perform the functions or if the issue should be put on hold. Agenda Item #III: Skillman Foundation Announcement Diana indicated that you were considering asking the Matt Foundation and Kellogg Foundation to match the Skillman contribution. Should this occur prior to the March 23, 1994 meeting? Agenda Item #V.a.: Statewide Timelines Enclosed is a draft process and timeline for the preparation of the state's applications to the Corporation. Please indicate any revisions needed. This timeline incorporates the rescheduling of the April 29, 1994 Executive Committee meeting to May 10, 1994. I have also enclosed a suggested listing of proposal panel review teams. A Division of the Michigan Jobs Com mission ---, Q �Michelle Engler March 16, 1994 Page2 At the meeting, it would be helpful to solicit the assistance of Commission members or their designee in the proposal review process. An option that is available to use is to include one or two Commissioners from another state in our review. Funds are available from the grant received by the five state coalition to cover the expenses of a cross-state review, if we pursue this option. For your information, Mike Tate may suggest at the Commission meeting that the Commission consider requesting state funds to fund quality proposals submitted which are not funded by the Corporation. Please let me know if you would like revisions made to the agenda and/or review process and timeline. If you would prefer, I am available to discuss the upcoming meeting with you. Thank you.

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 Governor's Community-Service Awards Program is also rescheduled for that night with invitations going out this next week. It is with much regret and sadness that I inform you that Diana has accepted a position as Director of National Service at the Corporation on National Community Service in Washington, D.C. This is most certainly a wonderful opportunity for Diana as she continues to help communities empower themselves through community service both across this state and now, around the nation. Not only is this a wonderful opportunity for Diana, but it's a tremendous coup for Michigan as well. As you know, Diana has been instrumental in the success of our commission and its ability to rank among the best in the country. While we will all miss Diana and the leadership she has given, we are very proud of all that Diana has accomplished and wish her the best of luck in her challenging and exciting new endeavor. Her last day as the Executive Director of the Michigan Community Service Commission will be March 11, 1994. Diana will be coming back to Lansing for the March 23, 1994 meeting and we will be hosting a reception in her honor immediately following the Commission meeting in the Michigan Room of the Olds Plaza Building from 4:00 to 5:00p.m. so that everyone can have the chance to say good-bye and wish her their best. Please RSVP to Mary Estrada as soon as possible at (517)335-4295. Thanks! Note: We will be presenting Diana with a gift from the commission on March 23rd. If you would like to contribute toward this, please send your gift to Mary Estrada by March 18, 1994. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

STATE SELECTION NARRATIVE Application Outreach A• The Request for Proposal was designed by staff of the MCSC, based on guidance from the Corporation. Michigan's existing infrastructure for service was tapped to create an initial mailing list for application packets. To broaden funher our outreach efforts, MCSC presented information on the National Service Trust Act at various conferences and meetings as follows: February 14, 1994: Presentation to 25 persons from the State Association of Municipal Governments; February 22, 1994: Presented to a focus group of 30 individuals from vanous organizations in Wayne County; February 23, 1994: Presentation to statewide meeting of the Community Action Agency directors; February 28, 1994: Morning presentation to a focus group from Oakland County comprised of 31 individuals, and an afternoon presentation to 25 Detroit-based organizations; March 1, 1994: Presentation to twenty individuals at the Eldercare Coalition conference in Flint; March 2, 1994: Provided technical assistance on AmeriCorps to 30 individuals in Detroit; March 3, 1994: Provided technical assistance on AmeriCorps to 25 persons in Lansing; March 4, 1994: Presented at the University of Michigan's Higher Education Conference on Service Learning to 40 individuals; and March 9, 1994: Presentation in Detroit to 40 local mayors and community based organizations. Due to this extensive outreach campaign, over 1,600 application packets were disseminated statewide. • A mass mailing was sent to such networks as: Youth Volunteer Corps 2 �• Full Time Corps Programs • Local Community Foundations • Employment and Training Agencies • Community Action Agencies • United Way Agencies • Michigan State University's Cooperative Extension Offices • Aging Agencies • Higher Education Institutions • K-12 Educational Entities • Existing Grantees of the Michigan Community Service Commission In addition, several technical assistance sessions were convened to provide further clarification on the application requirements. Technical assistance sessions (in addition to those noted above) were convened in Lansing, Detroit Metropolitan area, and Muskegon, with over 300 individuals participating. These sessions prompted requests for application materials. Further, individual requests were responded to by Commission staff. Approximately 300 telephone inquiries were responded to by MCSC staff. We believe that these activities, in sum, ensured broad participation in and fair access to the grant application process. 3 �B. Reyjew and Selection Process Responses to the issued Request for Proposals were due to the State Commission on April 15. Forty-five responses were received for consideration. Sixteen individuals committed to volunteering their time to assist in performing a nonbiased review of the AmeriCorps applications received for funding. Each individual signed a Conflict of Interest form verifying their impartiality in the rating process. Individuals on the review teams included: • Michigan's First Lady who chairs the Michigan Community Service Commission, • four Commissioners from the Michigan Community Services Commission, • three representatives from the private sector, • a representative from theW. K. Kellogg Foundation, • a representative from the Mott Foundation, • one representative from the Michigan Youth Progressive Action Council, • one representative from a higher education institution, • two representatives from the evaluation finn conducting the independent evaluation of the state's community service programs, one representative from the Michigan Jobs Commission (state agency), and • one student intern in the State Commission office. These individuals comprised five teams for the review of proposals. Each team was composed of representatives from diverse sectors to ensure a broader interpretation of the proposal. Two two-hour orientation sessions for proposal reviewers were held, one on April 11 and the second on April 22. Reviewers were requested to attend one of the two sessions. T wo sessions were held to accommodate the schedules of review team members to ensure attendance. These sessions were intended to remove, to the extent possible, the subjectivity of the review process by establishing a common baseline of knowledge and intent. In addition, to further 4 �validate the scoring process, one proposal was rated by all reviewers to provide an indication of scoring patterns. At these sessions, reviewers were provided with a review panel packet, including the Request for Proposal application materials, review criteria, and review forms. Michigan's Principles for Service and the Wingspread Principles of Good Practice for Combining Service and Learnin~ were also distributed. Each reviewer was also provided with insight into the vision and future for community service in the state. Proposals were initially reviewed internally by State Commission staff for completeness. This review entailed determining the inclusion of all required proposal components, such as signed title page, completed budget forms, narrative description of the proposed project, mission statement, assurances and certifications. Proposals were also reviewed to determine if the required matching funds were provided and at the stipulated percentages. Applications that were found to be complete were forwarded to members of the review teams on April 22. The overall assessment to ensure that programs would meet the state's and Corporation's goal to impact communities and participants took into consideration: • the ability of the program to get things done through direct and demonstrable service in the priority need areas; 5 �• the capacity of the program to bring together both institutions and individuals to cooperate in making lasting and constructive change; and • the applicant's plan to develop leadership skills, foster active productive citizenship, and enhance educational opportunities for participants. More specifically, proposals were reviewed against the following criteria: A. Need ClQ%) Proposals were evaluated based on their ability to impact the community and participants. Applicants were requested to clearly identify the unmet needs to be addressed in their community. Further, applicants were to describe the extent of consultation with community residents and organizations. Reasonableness and the ability to deliver specified outcomes was also evaluated. B. Strengthening Communities (20%) Narrative in this section was to include how the applicant built local suppon for its program activities and engaged in a coordinated manner community residents and organizations in designing, implementing, and evaluating its program. Evidence of strong and effective partnerships with various sectors of the community that have committed technical expertise and/or resources in substantive program areas was also examined. Applicants were requested to develop and suppon common service activities, exchanges or gatherings with other service programs that include participants from different backgrounds. Applicants were to build upon existing programs without duplicating effons already in the community. Applications were evaluated in regard to their plan to include a diverse group of participants and staff from the community in which the program activities will be conducted and which community groups will be represented. 6 �C. Developin~ Participants (20%) The application was to discuss how the program will provide for the development of the ethics and skills needed for productive and active citizenship through meaningful service, education, and leadership activities. The plan to deliver effective and relevant training necessary for participants to perform the program activities was evaluated. Proposals were also reviewed based on their plan to provide support to participants which may require assistance completing the equivalent of a high school diploma and/or support with transition to other educational and career opportunities. D. Mission 00%) Emphasis in this section was placed on the applicant's possession of a clear program mission, reasonable objectives, and measurable indicators of success. E. Organizational Capacity ClQ%) The applicant's ability to provide for quality control, monitoring, and evaluation or program activities, participant performance and overall program effectiveness was examined. The applicant's ability to conduct the fiscal affairs of the program was also factored into the rating. Applicant's had to detail staff qualifications and indicate they possessed a staff with demonstrated experience in operating programs similar to the one being proposed. F. Orientation and Trainin~ ClO%) This section evaluated the applicant's ability and plan to deliver appropriate orientation and training of staff and participants. Also reviewed was the applicant's plan to provide adequate supervision of program participants. 7 �G. Sustainability ClQ%) Criteria used to evaluate the applicant's ability to sustain the program beyond the funding period included the inclusion of a budget which was consistent with the program design and activities, the exceeding of the required 15% match for living expenses and health care costs and the 25% match required for program operational costs. Applicant were also to provide evidence that they would financially sustain the program beyond the period of the Corporation support. The budget narrative needed to clearly describe the program costs and how they were calculated and was the budget reasonable given the identified program activities/goals. The ability of the applicant to provide financial and/or in-kind support from other community organizations and resources and the existence of relationships with the community and its organizations was evaluated. H. Innovation and Replicability (10%) The applicant's ability to incorporate innovative approaches to partnerships, program design and service which can advance knowledge about building effective community programs was assessed. An analysis was done of the program design in regards to its potential replication in other communities. I. Special Considerations Other factors that were taken into consideration when selecting programs to be recommended to the Corporation for funding were: • geographic diversity/geographic concentration to ensure equitable distribution of programs and funding throughout the state; and, • participant diversity to ensure equal access to programs by all population groups. Completed review forms were forwarded back to the State Commission office on April 27. 8 �On April 28, review results were compiled by Commission staff and prepared for dissemination to review team members. Team members attended a consensus scoring session on April29. At this session, team members discussed amongst themselves the merits of the proposals that were in their grouping for review. This activity served to provide a consensus rating of the proposals. These discussions were guided and recorded by a group facilitator. The group facilitators met prior to the consensus rating session to plan a uniform strategy for the input of comments and recording of information. This information will be used to provide feedback and technical assistance to those agencies who submitted a proposal. After the proposal ranking process, an analysis was undertaken to ensure diversity in the geographic locations of the programs and to determine that, as required, 50% of the funding was being awarded to localities which met the Corporation ' s "in need" criteria. Of the fourteen programs being recommended for selection, eight serve urban areas, three will provide services to a region that contains rural and urban settings, two will operate in strictly rural areas, and one program will place participants statewide. This combination of geographic settings will provide an opportunity to study program implementation and operation in diverse areas, which will provide valuable information for our program replication efforts. Six of the fourteen program areas experience an unemployment rate which is higher than the 1993 national unemployment rate of 6.8%. All areas are environmentally distressed as they contain a number of 307- environmentally contaminated sites. Two sites have made application to be designated as empowerment zones, with five sites currently being designated as enterprise zone communities. Therefore, the state has clearly exceeded the requirement that 50% of the funding be targeted to "in need" areas. C. State Plan Following is a brief description of each program being recommended for funding including how the program fits into the state's and/or Corporation's goals and priorities. The designation of 9 �programs to be included for consideration from the state's formula allocation or on a competitive basis is contained in the following chart.
