States were invited to submit a comprehensive, longterm plan for building a statewide community service movement, and to submit specific proposals for projects in any or all of these categories. Michigan submitted proposals in all four categories, and received funding totaling $1,378,408 in Federal funds. Michigan's comprehensive and innovative proposal will expand and strengthen existing community service programs, and initiate new community service programs in the state over the next year. Specific proposals are as follows: SERVE-AMERICA: Michigan received $628,408 for 1992 under this category. Our approach will consist of: I • Planning and capacity building activities to develop a coordinated statewide community service initiative for K-12 aged youth through workshops; training academics; an information clearinghouse; videotapes; a director of existing programs; a quarterly newsletter; an annual awards programs; an annual statewide conference; and Statewide Planning, Capacity Building and Demonstration/Dissemination Model Grants. • Grants to local applicants for School-Based, Community-Based, and Adult Volunteer and Partnership programs. The Michigan Department of Education will administer Serve America funds. HIGHER EDUCATION COLLABORATIVE FOR COMMUNITY SERVICE: Michigan received $250,000 for 1992 in this category. The funds will be administered by the Michigan Campus Compact All higher education institutions in the state will have access to the two programs described below: • Development of the Michigan Generation Grant Program. This subgranting program will focus on 1)student initiated program development, 2)evaluation and outcomes, 3)curriculum development, 4)localized leadership training, and 5)any combination of the aforementioned areas. • Development of the Michigan Resource Service Center which will gather and disseminate information and assist in program planning. The Michigan Resource Service Center will also provide opportunities for regional and statewide training and leadership development opportunities in service learning. () AMERICA CONSERVATION AND YOUTH SERVICE CORPS PROGRAMS: Michigan received a total of $500,000 in this category to carry out the following initiatives: • Expansion of the Michigan Youth Environmental Service (YEES) Corps program, a state operated residential summer corps. Through this initiative, young people ages 18 to 21 from across the state will receive an opportunity to learn the value of community service and the importance of a clean, healthy environment. In addition, the service provided by these young people will help local communities meet human, educational, and environmental needs. �The initiative will be administered by the Michigan Departtnent of Labor: • Creation of a grant program to support local existing and new youth service corps. Through a competitive grant process funds will be available for year round urban corps which provide service opportunities for youth age 16 to 23 and Youth Volunteer Corps which provide service opportunities for 12 to 18 year olds fulltime during the summer and part time during the school year. The subgranting initiative will be overseen by the Michigan Community Service Commission.

The Michigan Higher Education Collaborative is open to all higher education institutions in Michigan (public or private, four year undergraduate and graduate colleges and universities, and community colleges). As the designated higher education leader consortia, Michigan Campus Compact convened a group in January, 1992 to discuss collaboration on service learning in Michigan and develop the higher education proposal for the state community service plan for federal funding. One of the outcomes of this was the Michigan Generation Grants. The Michigan Campus Compact is funded by the W. K. Kellogg Foundation and Michigan Campus Compact members. Housed at Michigan State University, the Michigan Campus Compact is an affiliate of Campus Compact, the national project to promote public and community service, which is sponsored by the Education Commission of the States. What are Michigan Generation Grants? Michigan Generation Grants are financial awards ranging from $500 to $15,000 depending on the program category. Application for Michigan Generation Grant funds are open to individuals or groups on all Michigan higher education campuses who wish to develop or expand community service programs. Project proposals should foster the habit of lifelong involvement in community service as well as provide replicable models for use at other colleges and universities. Funding for Generation Grants are, in part, underwritten by the Commission on National and Community Service. Who may apply? Registered student organizations, individual students, faculty, and administrators of Michigan higher education institutions are eligible to submit project proposals. Student projects must be submitted jointly by the student/student organization and a faculty/administrative advisor. The president of the institution must also provide signed acknowledgement of all project proposals. Grant applicants must also demonstrate evidence of a team or advisory group on their campus. Members of this team or advisory group must include students, staff, faculty, and community members. Other suggested members of this team or advisory group include a representative from the local Partnership for Education, United Way, Community Foundation, K-12 representative, Volunteer Action Center, and other members of the community who represent local issues. Where appropriate, representatives of the target of the service may also be included. �2 What type of projects may qualify for grant money? The Michigan Generation Grant project encourages the development of innovative public and community service projects on Michigan campuses. Michigan Generation Grant applicants will be required to provide 25 percent matching funds, either in-kind or actual costs, to implicitly demonstrate the campus commitment, provide plans for sustainability, and address how their program/project meets the criteria of quality , innovation and uniqueness, replicability, sustainability, and community voice. A campus applying for Michigan Generation Grants could apply for funds in one of five areas: 1) student initiated program development, 2) evaluation and outcomes, 3) curriculum development, 4) localized leadership training, and 5) a combination of any of the first four criteria. Grant Cate~:ories Student Initiated Program Grants Student-initiated programs are vital to the overall success of this plan. If we are to truly develop students' ethics of service and lifetime commitment to service, we must ensure that students are significant stakeholders in this process. Students will be required to involve community personnel, faculty, staff, and others in their planning. Michigan Generation Grants in this area will be awarded for up to $5,000 per proposal. A minimum of seven grants will be awarded in this program area. Evaluation and Outcomes Grants If we are truly to advance the field of service learning, opportunities for evaluation and outcomes must be promoted. The purpose of the evaluation and outcome emphasis is to learn from the service, to improve the nature of service, and to provide tested models that will enhance the building of communities. The service learning research agenda recommended by Wingspread should be given priority for service evaluation efforts. Common assumptions and different methods will need to be tested. Evaluation and outcome teams or an advisory group of students, community personnel, and faculty is preferred in this fairly traditional academic arena. Evaluation and outcomes may be quantitative, or it may be qualitative. Faculty are encouraged to network with other faculty members on collaborative evaluation and outcomes across the state to identify similar models or methods. Youth initiated evaluation and outcome projects are encouraged. Higher education values the service learning models that empower relationships, making the recipients of service more likely to be servers themselves (Robert Greenleaf, Servant Leader). If service learning is to be seen as legitimate in the academy, evaluation and outcomes must focus on service learning. This will validate service learning as a valuable pedagogy. Grants will be available for evaluation and outcomes in conjunction with concurrently or previously funded Michigan Generation Grants only. The cap for a Michigan Generation Grant for evaluation and outcomes will be $10,000 per proposal. A minimum of three grants will be awarded in this program area. Curriculum Development Grants One of the greatest curriculum development challenges of moving service closer to the center of the mission of higher education is to develop courses that include service learning components. Michigan Generation Grant proposals could develop new courses or reformat existing courses. Generic curriculum materials could also be developed by subject area, which could be disseminated throughout the state. A faculty guide could be developed on how to sponsor student service learners for independent study credit. Liberal Arts courses, which offer the history of community service and philanthropy while also offering students the opportunity to serve, will particularly help the working and non-traditional students. Subject matter courses which specifically address youth topics (i.e. AIDS, literacy, violence) will also be given priority. Michigan Generation �4 Overview of team or advisory group: A description of the team or advisory group involved in the planning and implementation needs to include: team/group members name, title (i.e. student, faculty, staff, representative from community based organization, or K-12), and their roles in the proposed project. Summary statement: A summary statement is a one-page, double-spaced abstract that briefly describes the problem(s) being addressed, the proposed activities, and the project's intended outcome. The summary statement is attached as a cover sheet to the front of the proposal narrative. Proposal Narrative: The proposal narrative describes the project in detail. It should be no longer than five double-spaced pages. A few over simplistic examples have been provided for clarification of some narrative requirements. The proposal narrative should: 1. Identify the community problem or need addressed by proposal. Example: Every town's shelters report an average of ten newly homeless families each month. The effects of homelessness on families includes poor physical health, inadequate nutrition, stress, and despair. 2. Describe the proposed project activities. Example: Project Care activities will include advocating for emergency services, assistance with housing search and securing of funds to obtain housing, and linking families with social service agencies. These activities will be carried out with supervision, guidance, and training from Every town's three emergency shelters and Every town county's Department of Social Services. 3. Discuss the probable effect of the project on the identified problem. 4. Where possible, discuss the anticipated impact of this project on: a) the students involved in the project, b) the campus, and c) the community in which the campus resides. Example: We expect to serve 25 homeless families in six months. 5. Include realistic estimates of the number of students to be recruited for volunteer efforts of the project . Example: We anticipate that 50 students will actively volunteer in the project in its first year of existence. These students will volunteer a minimum of two hours per week for ten weeks. 6. Include a proposed budget that outlines how funds will be used. In-kind contribution should be included in the budget projections. A 25 percent match is required. In-kind volunteer hours may be calculated at a rate of $5.00 per hour. Michigan Campus Compact member campuses may use their annual dues as an in-kind match. Monies will be available for the project on a quarterly basis. 7. Include a time line for the project. �5 8. Include plans for continuation of the project beyond the Michigan Generation Grant funding period. 9. Include information on the training, orientation, reflection components of the program, and other information which will help to demonstrate how this proposal incoporates the Wingspread Principles of Good Practice for Service LEarning. Letters of Support: These letters document the worth of the project from the perspective of the letter writer. Examples include letters from the project's team or advisory group and the community agency that the project hopes to assist, if applicable. What are the conditions of the grant? Grant monies will be paid to the Michigan higher education institution shortly following compliance with the following conditions: 1. the Michigan institution representative is identified who will administer the grant money and maintain fiscal accountability for the project money, and 2. the member institution will agree to provide oversight to the project via the faculty or administrative advisor to the student/student groups or through the supervisors of faculty and staff who are awarded Michigan Generation Grant money. What is expected of grant recipients? Recipients of the Michigan Generation Grants are expected to submit an quarterly progress report during the granting period as well as afinal report at the end of the funding cycle. The final report should summarize the work to date and include a financial report. The final report should be accompanied by a signed cover letter from the project administrator indicating that the report has been reviewed and approved by the faculty/administrative advisor. Final reports will need to include demographic data about the volunteers and participants. Grant recipients will be expected to attend a meeting of all recipients after grant awards are announced to share information, review the Principles of Good Practice for Service Learning, and discuss collaboration strategies. Excerpts from project summary reports will be adapted and shared with all Michigan higher education institutions as well as with the Commission on National and Community Service in order to strengthen and improve service programs across the state and nation. Who can provide assistance with developing the project and writing the proposal? Writing a grant proposal is not difficult, but it does require planning and attention to detail. If your campus has a Community Service Coordinator, he/she can assist with the application and project development. Additional information can be obtained by calling or writing the Michigan Campus Compact. Where should I send my proposal?

Hembrojf. Ph.D. June 18, 1992 Survey Director The Honorable Jolm Engler Governor of Michigan Capitol Building Complex Ill South Capitol Lansing, Michigan 48933 Dear Governor Engler: In his nomination speech over three years ago, President Bush indicated his desire for a "kinder, gentler America" and called on the nation to commit itself to serving the larger community. He described his vision of America, glittering with "a thousand points of light," the lights representing volunteers giving of themselves to serve their nation, their towns, and their neighbors. Even in the best of times, communities benefit greatly through the volunteer efforts of individuals. In times such as these, with the economy struggling and the state 's budget squeezed, the importance of voluntary community service is profound. In July, the Survey Research Division of MSU's Institute for Public Policy & Social Research will conduct its next Michigan Public Policy Survey (MIPPS). Its substantive focus will be on volunteer activities and attitudes. A number of the questions will be adapted from nationwide Gallup surveys. Others will be constructed specifically for this Michigan survey. We are interested in discussing with you or members of your staff the possibility of financial support for this statewide survey of Michigan residents regarding their community service volunteer activities. In addition to determining how widespread volunteer activity is, we would like the survey to ( 1) identify factors that are perceived as obstacles to volunteering and (2) the kinds of individuals who are less involved. This information would prove extremely valuable in developing campaigns to increase volunteer efforts. Promotional information could be targeted to encourage wider volunteer participation, to find mechanisms to overcome obstacles, or to dispel myths. Two years ago, SRD conducted the initial data collection on volunteer activities among the students at ten of Michigan's colleges and universities for Michigan Campus Compact. The report of that study was presented to Ms. Diana Algra, then the Compact Director and now a member of your staff. IPPSR's SRD is a comprehensive survey research organization whose mission is to serve the social policy-related research needs of the State, other units of government, the public, and MSU and its faculty. In the past couple of years, IPPSR has conducted a number of studies for the Michigan Departments of Commerce, Public Health, Health, and Mental Health, and looks forward to working with other state departments and offices in the future.

In addition to Commissioners on the committee, the following three individuals have been added: Darryl White-Midland VAC Director, Judy Rapanos-Community leader in Midland, Barbara Bradford- DSS statewide Volunteer Coordinator. The committee is scheduled to meet again on September 16, 1992. • Youth Body - Cynthia Scherer provided an update on the progress and selection of the Youth Body.

Other Items Ms. Algra provided the Commission with the following updates: • State Regional Meetings - Plans are being developed to bring together state lead agencies in mid September. Michigan and Ohio are coordinating these efforts. Invitations will go out to the following states to participate: Wisconsin, West Virginia, illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Ohio and Michigan. This meeting will look at establishing a regional network of grantees to provide each other with technical assistance and input to the National Commission on needs of state lead agencies and grantees as a whole. • Statewide Planning Meeting- In and effort to continue to receive input into our planning process for our federal application in the future it would be important for the MCSC to consider hosting a day long meeting in mid October, 1992. This meeting could be fashioned after those held in the summer of 1991 which set into motion the development of Michigan's statewide plan. The staff of MCSC will prepare additional material on this to present at the next Commission meeting. 3 �• K-12 Regional Center on Service Learning- The Partnership for New Education at MSU will serve as the site for this center. It is hopeful that a person can be brought on board to coordinate its activities by mid to late September 1992. This project will work closely with the Commission and our ServeMichigan grantees. The Commission needs to begin to develop a longterm outlook for itself. Once the subgranting process is completed, the Michigan Community Service Commission staff will prepare recommendations for Commission review regarding future initiatives and priorities. It might serve the Commission to consider setting up a schedule for 1993 that would meet on a quarterly basis. This schedule would allow the standing committees to meet on alternate months to Commission meetings. At the request of Commissioner Johnson the Michigan Community Service Commission staff will prepare a summary of successful state applications to the National Commission for subtitleD funds. This summary will be provided at the September 1992 meeting of the Commission. IX . Next Meeting date and place The next meeting will be August 28, 1992 at DOW USA in Midland.

Schiller, Chairman SUBJECT: Approval of the 1992-93 Funding Criteria for National and Community Service SERVE-Michigan Grants The SERVE-Michigan Grant Program is designed to help local school districts and their communities implement the National and Community Service Act of 1990. The Act seeks to revitalize the spirit of citizenship by involving millions of Americans, especially youth, in national and community service. The hope is that service will become a daily part of life for all Americans. In the process, millions of Americans will enrich their own lives and become engaged in dealing with the serious social problems which face the state and nation. The State of Michigan, through the Michigan Community Service Commission of the Michigan Department of Labor, has been awarded a federal K-12 ServeAmerica grant in the amount of $628,408 to promote the development of community service-learning programs throughout Michigan communities. By federal regulat i on, 5 percent ($31,420) of the grant award may be used for administration while the remaining 95 percent ($596,988) must be distributed among f our other categories, as indicated in the Michigan State Plan: Statewi de Planning and Capacity Building (10 percent); School-Based Programs ( 60 percent); Community Based Pr ograms ( 1 5 percent) ; Adult Vo l unteer and Partnership Pr ograms (10 percent). The planned appr oach for the SERVE-Mic h i g a n Gr ant Program cons i sts of : (1) statewide plann i ng a nd capacity building activit ie s and grants to deve lop a coordinated statewi de youth community service-learning initiative; and (2 ) grants to local applicants fo r School-Based Service-Learning Programs, Community Based Service Programs, and Adult Volunteer and Partnership Programs. A 10 percent local match is required. Local and intermediate school districts, community based organizations, and other nonprofit organizations and institutions will be eligible to apply for funds according to the categories described in Exhibit A. Review criteria and requirements to be used in developing grant award recommendations for approval by the State Board of Education are included in Exhibit B. It is anticipated that the Superintendent will recommend SERVE-Michigan grant awards for the State Board of Education's approval at the November 17-18, 1992, meeting. The SERVE-Michigan Grant Program addresses State Board of Education goals 1, 6, 12, and 13 in the document Education: Where the Next Century Begins, Goals 1990-92. It is recommended that the State Board of Education approve the criteria and funding categories for the SERVE-Michigan Grants as contained in Exhibits A and B of the Superintendent's revised memorandum dated July 9, 1992. �Exhibit A Michigan Department of Education 1992-93 SERVE-Michigan Grant Program PART I - GENERAL INFORMATION INTRODUCTION Background Community service is a vital component of a complete education program. It provides increased and varied learning opportunities for students, many of whom need the added motivation, presence of positive role models, and boost in self-esteem available through community service experiences. The SERVE-Michigan Program provides an opportunity to strengthen and link several successful statewide initiatives, student leadership training, school volunteerism, partnerships for education, and service-learning as part of the mandated core curriculum and student portfolios, together with the state's overall strategies for educational reform and equity for all students. Most of all, the SERVE-Michigan Program will help Michigan value its greatest resource, its young people. The Challenges Michigan ranks 8th in population, but 4th in the number of Aid to Families with Dependent Children recipients, 5th in the number of violent crimes per 100,000, 7th in the number of murders per 100,000, and only 28th in high school graduation rates. At 29.4 percent, youth remain a major part of Michigan's population, not only in quantity but in the number living in poverty, at risk of dropping out of school, facing crime in the streets, and suffer i ng from unemployment. Difficulties in all these areas are dramatically higher in the state's major urban areas. Government, education, business, labor, and community-based organizations, working alone, cannot remedy the challenges facing the state. Working together, and involving parents, students, and other citizens, Michigan can build the "communities of learning" necessary for all youth to succeed. GRANT PURPOSE The SERVE-Michigan Program is a comprehensive effort developed to encourage cooperative efforts among school districts, local government agencies, community-based organizations, businesses, and volunteers to assist youth and provide community service-learning opportunities for in-school and out-ofschool youth. It is targeted to combat Michigan's 26 percent dropout rate, help the state's 1,573,646 public school children and 177,876 nonpublic school children stay in school and gain the skills and attitudes they need to become productive citizens, and reach current dropouts and out-of-school youth through age 26 to offer them another chance to rejoin the mainstream. The program is designed to encourage youth to develop personal and social responsibility through the application of classroom skills in real-life situations, increased student leadership opportunities, more positive working relationships with adults and others, and greater exploration of career opportunities. 1 �STATEWIDE BENEFITS The SERVE-Michigan Program is expected to: (1) help Michigan value its greatest resource, its young people; (2) instill civic awareness and build community service habits among students; (3) encourage students to continue their education and become better prepared members of the future workforce; (4) encourage students to assume more active leadership roles within the student body; (5) enable schools to develop more linkages with the community to help all youth succeed; (6) increase the number of adults who volunteer in schools; and (7) increase public support for education as a life-long endeavor for all learners. GRANT CATEGORIES Grant categories are based on federal funding requirements and will be awarded in four categories: 1. 2. 3. 4. Statewide Planning and Capacity Building School-Based Service-Learning Programs Community-Based Service Programs Adult Volunteer and Partnership Programs $51,190 $377,045 $94,263 $62,840 Grants will be awarded on a competitive basis in all categories. Except for the category of Statewide Planning and Capacity Building, all applicants must comply with the following requirements: 1. Establish and specify the membership and role of an advisory committee. Representatives of community-based agencies, including community action agencies, service recipients, youth-serving agencies, youth, parents, teachers, administrators, agencies that serve older adults, school board members, labor, business, and individuals with disabilities, if any such entities exist in the community, must be offered an opportunity to serve on the committee. 2. Identify a program coordinator responsible for (a) working with the advisory committee and (b) developing, nurturing, and monitoring programs activities and relationships. 3. Coordinate the service-learning program with other school district initiatives, such as Student Leadership Forums, school volunteer programs, partnerships for education, core curriculum, and student portfolios. Each of the grant categories is further subdivided into specific types of programs, as indicated below. The amounts in parentheses represent the grant awards available in each funding category and subcategory. A 10 percent match in non-federal funds is required of each applicant. 2 �Statewide Grants In order to assist the Michigan Department of Education in its long-range statewide planning and capacity building activities, grants will be awarded for the development of such materials and services as an awareness brochure, a program videotape, evaluation designs and materials, training workshops and academies, and curriculum materials. 1.

(b ) Evaluation Materials/Design (1-2 grants: total $10,000) The grantee(s) will work with the Michigan Department of Education, the Michigan Community Service Commission, the Michigan Campus Compact, and other organizations involved in service-learning, such as the Michigan Regional Service-Learning Center, to collect, identify, and design appropriate evaluation materials and procedures for assessing the effectiveness of youth community service-learning programs. (c) Staff/Participant Training (1-2 grants: total $16,190) The grantee(s) will work with the Michigan Department of Education, the Michigan Campus Compact, other organizations involved in service-learning, such as the Michigan Regional Service-Learning Center, and the recipients of Model Demonstration/Dissemination Grants to design and deliver a series of awareness and skill-building workshops on youth community service-learning theory and practice for school and organization staff, adult volunteers, partners, and youth partic i pants in community service programs. (d) Curriculum Materials (1-4 grants: total $10,000) The grantee(s) will work with the Michigan Department of Education, the Michigan Campus Compact, and other organizations involved in service-learning, such as the Michigan Regional Service-Learning Center, to research and assemble existing service-learning curriculum materials and make them available across the state on a cost recovery basis; identify various models for service-learning programs; develop recommendations for infusing community service into the curriculum in a var~ety of content areas; and identify areas for further curriculum development. Eligible Applicants: A public local or intermediate school district, public two-or four-year college or university, and public or private nonprofit organization. 3 �Local Grants Grants to local applicants are divided into three types - New Programs, Expanded Programs, and Model Demonstration/Dissemination Programs - as described below: (a) Hew Programs Grants for new programs will be awarded to applicants who have not begun a youth community service-learning, volunteer, or partnership program. Grant recipients must focus their efforts on building a strong, cooperative working relationship among key community representatives, including education, business, civic groups, community-based organizations, individuals, parents, and students. To the extent possible, short-range activities should lead to the realization of overall goals contained in the school district's school improvement plan or organization's youth leadership plan. New grants provide "seed money" to bring a youth community service-learning idea to reality and cover start-up costs for such activities as a part-time program coordinator, planning, development of materials, and bringing community members together to provide input for program design. (b) Expanded Programs Grants for expanded programs will be awarded to applicants who have started a youth community service-learning, volunteer, or partnership program and would like to expand it to include more participants or activities. Programs must be consistent with a school district's school improvement plan or organization's youth leadership plan, jointly developed by school district and community leaders, and must include the coordination of all the district's/organization's youth community servicelearning efforts. These grants may be used for such costs as the recruitment and training of community and school staff regarding servicelearning; redirecting the emphasis of existing efforts to meet the requirements of SERVE-Michigan, the core curriculum, and student p ortfolios; collaboration with other service-learning initiat ives ; and ~ nhan cing informational materials. (c) Model Demonstration/Dissemination Programs Grants in this category will be awarded to service-learning, adult volunteer, and partnership programs which have demonstrated their effectiveness in improving student outcomes and the educational process through a communitywide effort. Grant recipients shall work with the Michigan Department of Education and the Statewide Planning and Capacity Building Grant recipients to assist new and expanded programs and interested others in the development and expansion of effective youth community servicelearning, volunteer, or partnership programs.

The Commission seeks to involve all Michigan citizens, especially youth, in community service aimed at serious social issues. National attention on the involvement of young people and the state's own strong youth service movement has lead the Commission to focus its efforts initially on young people. The MCSC believes youth are an untapped resource in community problem solving and that young people can learn to be leaders and problem solvers by getting engaged in service. This means young people must not just perform community service, but that they must play a role in developing and planning youth service policy. In March of 1992 the Commission put this belief 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 an summary of what has happened since that time. Refining the Concept 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 appli~ations. The deadline for applications was June 8. When its 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: 17th: HE: other: 107 11 8 1 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 and, Bay Area Community Foundation Youth Initiative, Youth Service America Youth Action Council member; Erin Sullivan, student, Holt High School; and Chandra Doorn, 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. Attached is a complete list of those selected. What Next? This diverse group of youth will be brought together for the first time during late August or September (potential dates right now are August 28-31 and September 25-28) for an orientation and training retreat. Our work to involve young people, however will not stop there. The selection committee was incredibly impressed with all of the applications received and had a difficult time in choosing only fifteen young people. We do plan to try and involve all those who applied in some way in the work of the Commission. Among the strategies we are considering are to hold regional meetings in conjunction with youth body members from that part of the state. We also hope to put together a publication of some of the essays we received from young people which described how they thought young people could help solve serious social problems. We will continue to look for ways to involve young people in the Commission's work and welcome any and all suggestions in regard to youth involvement 2 �THE MICHIGAN COMMUNITY SERVICE COMMISSION'S STATEWIDE YOUTH BODY ON SERVICE 1992 MEMBERS GRADE : NAME CITY Amy Marie Ahola Michael Almassian Mary Beth Brockmeier Aaron Demetrius Cunningham Gwen Downs Jenna M.

This year's funds have been tentatively allocated as outlined below. 1. Up to Sl million for knowledge transfer activities that facilitate the communication of information, understanding, ideas, practices, inspiration and stimulation from leaders of exemplary programs to others through training, technical assistance, and other means. Clearinghouses are one example, and comments on the types of clearinghouses the Commission should support are welcome.

Up to $1 million for coalition building activities that will encourage and facilitate collaborations at the local, state, and national levels dedicated to building the infrastructure needed for a strong, diverse and innovative community service movement. Examples include: a. Strategy Meetings: To bring diverse groups of leaders together to formulate cohesive strategies for promoting and supporting the community service movement. Meetings might involve a single sector (i.e. religious or foundation leaders) or provide for cross-fertilization (i.e. education reform leaders meetings with youth service leaders). b. Topical Discussions: To allow for dialogue on important issues such as working effectively with monority communities, building strong programs in the inner city, or intergenerational collaborations. c. National and Regional Grantees Meetings: Bringing grantees together for joint planning and to foster a sense of national identity and purpose. 3. Up to $250,000 for youth involvement in the leadership of the community service movement at every level. Examples include: a. Youth Voice State Implementation: To provide grants to states to develop and support youth working groups to implement ~he state plan and document successful strategies involving youth in decision making. �57 FR 30724 b. Youth tra i ning: To educate young people about the Commission, t each leadership skills, and increase youth voice in policy-making. c. Documenting Young People In Service: Through which young people around the country would document through photographs their peers' involvement in ~ervice . The result would be a traveling exhib i t and book celebrating the work of young people. d. Forum~ for Young People: To discuss and respond to the activities of the Commission and other initiatives in the youth service field . 4. Funds allocated for coalition building, knowledge transfer and youth involvement may be used for fellowships to further these goals . Nominations of individuals to be fellows and organizations who would host them would be accepted on an ongoing basis. Sponsoring or host organizations would be expected to provide administrative or overhead costs while the Commission would fund direct costs such as salaries and travel. Ideas from organizations who are interested in developing and coordinating a fellowship program are also welcome. Examples of fellowship initiatives include: a. Commission Senior Fellows: A select number of proven leaders and innovators in the field freed half-time from their current programs to work with less experienced programs. b. Community Service Fellows: Who would assist city, county, and state officials in identifying innovative ways in which community service can strengthen government services. c. Youth Fellows:Who would be affiliated with public or private nonprofit organizations to help facilitate youth leadership and involvement. Authority: 42 U.S.C. 12501 et seq. Dated: July 6 , 1992.

Committee Reports : •Recognition Committee- Held its first meeting on July 16,1992. In addition to Commissioners on the committee, the following three individuals have been added: Darryl White-Midland VAC Director, Judy Rapanos-Community leader in Midland, Barbara Bradford- DSS statewide Volunteer Coordinator. The committee is scheduled to meet again on September 16, 1992. • Youth Body · Cynthia Scherer provided an update on the progress and selection of the Youth Body. Fifteen young people have been selected. They will come together in late September, 1992 for their first meeting/retreat. Efforts will be made to match youth body members with a Commissioner to serve in a mutually beneficial mentoring relationship. VIII. Other Items Ms. Algra provided the Commission with the following updates: • State Regional Meetings- Plans are being developed to bring together state lead agencies in mid September. Michigan and Ohio are coordinating these efforts. Invitations will go out to the following states to participate: Wisconsin, West Virginia, illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Ohio and Michigan. This meeting will look at establishing a regional network of grantees to provide each other with technical assistance and input to the National Commission on needs of state lead agencies and grantees as a whole. • Statewide Planning Meeting - In and effort to continue to receive input into our planning process for our federal application in the future it would be important for the MCSC to consider hosting a day long meeting in mid October, 1992. This meeting could be fashioned after those held in the summer of 1991 which set into motion the development of Michigan's statewide plan. The staff of MCSC will prepare additional material on this to present at the next Commission meeting. 3 �• K-12 Regional Center on Service Learning- The Partnership for New Education at MSU will serve as the site for this center. It is hopeful that a person can be brought on board to coordinate its activities by mid to late September 1992. This project will work closely with the Commission and our ServeMichigan grantees. The Commission needs to begin to develop a longterm outlook for itself. Once the subgranting process is completed, the Michigan Community Service Commission staff will prepare recommendations for Commission review regarding future initiatives and priorities. It might serve the Commission to consider setting up a schedule for 1993 that would meet on a quarterly basis. This schedule would allow the standing committees to meet on alternate months to Commission meetings. At the request of Commissioner Johnson the Michigan Community Service Commission staff will prepare a summary of successful state applications to the National Commission for subtitleD funds. This summary will be provided at the September 1992 meeting of the Commission. IX . Next Meetin~ date and place The next meeting will be August 28, 1992 at DOW USA in Midland.

BACKGROUND The first Youth Volunteer Corps (YVC) was launched in 1986 as a program of the Heart of America United Way in Kansas City, Missouri. Since then it has linked hundreds of junior and senior high school-age young people of all backgrounds with a wide variety of local non-profit organizations, government agencies, and schools in wide-ranging community service activities. In 1988, YVC began its expansion effort. By 1990, programs were soon established in Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Florida, Colorado and Michigan. The successful development of those programs led, in 1990, to a W.K. Kellogg Foundation grant to the Youth Volunteer Corps of America, Inc. (YVCA), with national headquarters in Kansas City, for the establishment of YVCs in forty (40) communities nation-wide over a four (4) year period. The MCSC is engaged in a cooperative effort with YVCA, Inc. to establish a year-round YVC program throughout the state. The YVC will be locally funded and operated, but it will also be affiliated with the national YVCA and will, generally, be structured along the guidelines and meet the program standards developed by YVCA, Inc. YVCA, Inc. will provide intensive technical assistance and training to the successful respondent during the implementation and operation of the program, and will be a continuing resource to the local YVC. B. Mission and Program Goals 1. Mission The mission of the YVCA is to increase opportunities for young people to participate in organized service programs that address community needs and develop a lifetime ethic of s.ervice. 2. Goals The local YVC must meet four (4) fundamental goals: B. • serve the needs of the community and its residents; • offer young people an opportunity to engage in team service projects that are challenging, rewarding and educational; • promote among young people and residents a greater understanding and appreciation for the diversity of their community; • promote a lifetime ethic of service among young people. Standards and Program Design The YVCA, Inc. assures that every local YVC program meets standard operating guidelines. Proposals from appropriate private non-profit organizations, government agencies, or schools will be considered 22 �responsive if they are designed to: D. • recruit youth who represent the diversity of the community; • conduct supervised direct service projects that address important community needs; • conduct an intensive summer component consisting of structured team projects • conduct a school year component of frequent, projects; • establish and integrated learning process for participants; • increase youth volunteers• self-esteem, initiative, leadership, civic responsibility and appreciation of others from different social, racial and educational backgrounds; • provide no financial inducements for youth volunteer participants; • follow basic volunteer management practices; • use the YVC name and logo • hire a year-round Program Director responsible for managing and operating the program based on YVCA Policies and Standards • participate in program evaluation process; • organize an Advisory Council within the first year of program operation. diverse service YVCA. Inc. Services The YVCA, Inc. provides each of its affiliates with direct technical assistance and national coordination. YVCA, Inc. services include: • • • • • • • • program start-up · assistance; assistance in identifying local funding sources; program development and evaluation; comprehensive program Operations Manual; staff, team leader, and youth volunteer training; support in establishing school linkages; periodic conferences and workshops; recruitment and promotional material. The local YVC program pays an annual affiliation fee of ($400.00) for these and other services. YVCA, Inc. regularly both monitors and promotes the development of national and state legislation to support the concept and philosophy of youth service and presents the views and experiences of local YVC programs to legislators and policy-makers. 23 �routh \biunteer Corps~; T'"rlE COMMti'NITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT ( CDBG) INTRODUCTION The Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) is a federal grant from the u. s. Cepart~ent of Housing and Urban Development (EUD) intended for investment in impacted neighborhoods in communities across the nation. The funding mechanislll is usually two-fold. Major cities and metrooolitan areas receive their arants directly from BUD, upon submitting and havL~g a local plan approved - usually by the regional EUD office. smaller comm~~ities and uninccrnorated areas receive CDBG funds through a mechanism know as the Small Ci~ies Grants. Generally, the s~ates receive CDEG funds for communities of 50,000 or less population. The states t=.em use ·various means to allccate those dollars. T~ev may be allocated by competitive bid, or be allccatad to ~~e county governments, or may be usee diractly by the states on behalf of ~~e s~aller communities. The bulk of CDBG funds are usuallv for "bricks and mortar 11 activities such as ho1.:sing reh~ilitation or construction, infrast=ucture improvem~~ts, municipal i~provements, etc. But, a portion of those funcs ~ be allocated for nhUlnan and social service prograzns 11 • The decision on whether to uss some - or any - of ~~e funds for that purpose is . a local political one, usually made after an extensive p~lic input pr~cess on the CDEG Plan which is su.bmi tted to HUD • .• What is important to realize is ~~at the funds are hiahlv flexible and the definition of what are "human and social programs" is largely left to local discre- tion. HGD regulations indicate t~at up . tc 15% of CDBG funcs may be used for those purposes, but there are ~umerous instances where hUD has waived L~a~ requi=eme~t for what ~ey deter.minec we~e ex-~acrd~na=Y reas~ns, cf~an because they were L~ su~por~ of o~~er, grander CDBG objectives.

Virtually every colnllluni ty in .t he nation is served locally by JTPA. Additionally, where appropriate, special programs are funded to serve Native Americans and Migrant & Seasonal Far.mworkers. You~~ s~rvices are typically provided by JTPA in two modes; year-round services through Title !I, Part A, ADULT AND YOUTH PROG~~S, and Summer-only services through Title II, Part B, SUMMER YOUTH EMPT·OYMENT AND TRAINJNG PROGRAMS. In both instances, youth must be economically disadvantaged, i.e., meet a family lowincome standard based on the size of the fa!llily, unless the family is receiving some form of public assistance or the youth is any type of ward of the st.ate or court. But, Part A provides that up to ~0% of individuals served (adult.,· youth, or a combination) need not be economically disadvantaged if they possess othe= barriers to employment. IMPLICATIONS FOR YVCs Can JTPA be at least a partial funding scurce for local YVC programs? It can be. Will JTPA provide some funds for local youth corps? That answer can only come locally from the local program administrator. Unfortunately, there presently is no national direction to the local JTPA programs to support you~~ volunteer and youth service activities. It is important to note, though, that uTPA is currently ceing extansively amended in the Cong=ess with the bills which have been passed by each house of Congress are presently in the conference process. ~No kev amenements ~e, 1.) the c=eation of a single title for all yo~th services (=a~e~ than the A/B split in the existing legisla~ion); and, 2.) a dir;ct re::erenca i., t.~e Sena't.; bill to 11 • • • cc:wnuni tv and you~~ service opport~ities ... including ycuth ccrps programs;" as allowable activities in t.~e new act. 1080 Washington St. Kansas City, MO 6~105-22io 5, 6iJ.7 4-5761 ::Ax S1ci472-4207 26 �POSSIBLE YVC PRO~RAM SCENA.~OS What type of .proposals might the local JTPA program operators consider for funding? A typical Summer proposal might be one that mixed JTPA and non-JTPA youth on teams and requested funding for Tea!ll Leaders, transportation, and lunch. It would also be reasonable to request funding for at least paxt of the Program Coordinator•s salary in this type of proposal. One problem that this type of proposal poses for the YVC program is that, usually 1 J'l'!IA-elig~le youth are paid an hotn"ly wage during' the SUJnlller program, while YVC youth do not receive pay. There could be several ways ~ound this issue. For example, JTPA programs usual~y get many more applicants than they have funds for (especially 13, 14, & 15 year olds). YVC could put a program together to serve at least some of the overflow, with JTPA funding only-staff and providL~g supportive services. A year-round proposal has good potential for YVC programs. JTPA usually funds major activities with the local school districts with Title IIA funds. YVC could seek a partnership role with the local schools to operate youth service activities in conjunction with the JTl?A prograJD. activities. Normally 1 IIA programs do not pay program participants, but do provide supportive services such as transportation, special educational services, etc. In this type of proposal, J'I'!'.A could fund Team Leaders, supportive services, and, again, YVC staff salaries - at least in part. This RESOURCE OPTTON is not intended to be an exhaustive description of JTPA, but rather an overview. Some YVC programs have extensive knowledge of the program and, LTJ. some cases , receive J1I'PA funds. Other programs - and developing. program sites - may not yet have had the occasion to acquaint themselves with JTPA. YVCA can work with any YVC program that wishes to pursue the possibility of JTPA funds ·· for its local progra.Jll. We have availa]::)le the names and addresses of all the .:ITPA program operators in the nation and will provide that info~ation quickly upon request. Contact Joe Gonzales at (816)361-1016 for assis~ance. One final note about JTPA. Each local program is requ~red to have a Private I~dustry Council (~IC). That council is far more than just an advisory body. In some ins~ances, the PIC directly operates the prog=am. The majority of the ~embers of the PIC must be irom the p=ivate business sector, ar.d are usually involved and ~espec~ed ~embers of the co~unity. It may be very worthwhile for YVC pr=grams to become accuainted wi~~ at least some of the PIC members and introduce ~~em to YV-C. 27 �Youth Volunteer Corps Challenging Our Youth Building Our Communities ~9.;" · "ki \buth _\oluntccr ~.f?~· Corps '.'~ ..... )()lTTH SER\1CE ~~\~I ElUCA.

All donated services charged to the program should directly benefit the program. The local grantee agency is required to provide supplemental funds of at least 25% for the program. The local match may be composed of "donated" services. The total amount of donated services should be reported on line 15 of the budget summary form FIN-110. In addition, the individual cost items which make up donated services must be identified on the position schedule and cost detail schedule, FIN-114, 115. (See attached example). Guidelines for Evaluation of Donated Services If the donor transfers title to the property, the amounts of . t~e contribution should be determined as if the agency had purchased the property and had paid the face market value of the property at the time of transfer. If only use of the property is donated, and the donor retains title, the amount of the contribution should be determined as if the agency had rented the property and had paid the property's fair rental value. In certain cases, it may be necessary for the value of real property to be established by an independent appraiser. Volunteer Services Volunteer services may be furnished by professional and technical personnel, consultants, and other skilled and unskilled labor. Volunteer services should meet the following criteria: -The services performed ·a re a normal part of the program and would otherwise be performed by agency personnel. -The agency exercises control . over the employment and duties of the donors of the services. -The agency has a clearly measurable basis to value the services. ' Pay rates established for volunteer services should be consistent with the regular rates paid for similar work in other activities in the agency. In cases where the kinds of skills required are not found in other activities of the agency, rates used should be consistent with those paid for similar work in the labor market. When an employer other than the agency furnishes the services of an employee, these services shall be valued at the employer's regular rate of pay (exclusive of fringe benefits and overhead cost) provided these services are in the same skill for which the employee is normally paid. 31 �:....\.·u' Lt.

Capitol Ave. P .0. Box 30015 Lansing, MI 48909 Dear Diana, Thank you so much for hosting the Ambassador program this year in Mi-:::higan. We are very pleased with the overall outcome of the program and have learned a great deal which will allow us to streng1.hen it for next year. Giv-en the that we will not be certain of our 1993 Congressional funding level until the fall and our desire w expand the program to eight states, we have decided to support one Ambassador in each state. I am pleased to inform you that we WO\,;.ld like to offer an Ambassador to :Vlichigan for the upcoming year. Based on ou:r evaluation of the first year we have narrowed the purpose of the program and revised the role of the Ambassadors. We also wanted to align the program with the Youth Engaged in Service priority of linking community service ,..,rJ.!h education reform. Toward this end 1 the Ambassadors will seek to build a demand among young people for community service as a part of education. They will work primarily with young people in 5chool settings providing them Vvith training in leadership and service learning skills. In addition, Ambassadors· wtll recruit and train college and university students to assist youth and teachers in developing service learning opportunities. We want the work of the Ambassador to relate more closely with the work of the host organization. To that end we ask that the host identify the network(s) in which the Amba~;:;ador will work. This could include schools which receive Serve-America fundingj or a network of schools which are part of a state or nationally based reform initiative. Ambassadors should be available to provide assistance to Volunteer Centers and training to young people who are part of their youth service programs. Ambassadors can also be available to reach out to ether vouth networks at the state and regional levels such as student council associations and other representative bodies of youth organizations.

Supp Vice President Youth Engaged in Service Enclosure �Youth Engaged in Service Ambassador - Michigan 1992 - 3 In August of 1991 the state of Michigan was one of four locations chosen by the Points of Light Foundation to pilot its Youth Engaged in Service (YES) Ambassador program. In September 1991 two young people between the ages of 18-25 were selected from over 50 applicants by a selection committee made of up of representatives from the Points of Light Foundation and leaders in the field of service in Michigan. Since September these young people have acted as advocates for the involvement of youth in community problem solving and have worked directly with youth to engage them in service and with individuals, organizations and institutions to stimulate the development of youth service opponunities. In September of 19~2 the first year of the YES Ambassador program will come to a close. After evaluating the program the Points of Light Foundation has decided to continue and expand the program. In 1992-3 YES Ambassadors will be placed in nine locations across the nation; the four original locations, California, Michigan Pennsylvania and Washington, D.C., will be joined by Colorado, Georgia, Kentucky, Maryland and Yfinnesota. Based on the experience of the first year the program has been modified. Major differences include a more narrowed focus (see attached job description) and the selection of only one Ambassador per location. The process to select a YES Ambassador in Michigan for 1992-3 has already begun. A diverse Selection Committee has been put together with members representing both young people and leaders in the field of service (see attached list). Announcements about the position were sent to over 800 individuals, organizations, and institutions across the state including volunteer centers, United Ways, community foundations, college placement offices, and 4-H (see attached for complete list). To date over 45 applications have received. The Selection Committee is currently in the process of reviewing applications and will be making their recommendations for interviews by September 3. Interviews will be scheduled with up to eight candidates on September 10, 1992. Two candidates will be recommended to the Foundation who will in consultation with the host organization select one individual. The individual selected will then attend a training session with the other eight Ambassadors in the Washington, D.C. area in early October. Upon completion of their training Michigan's YES Ambassador will return to the state and begin a one year position with the Michigan Community Service Commission.

Several foundations asked Youth Service America to convene this leadership summit, seeking a candid report on the status of the field and insightful recommendations about strategies to move the field forward. The participants represented youth service organizations from all streams of service and from all across the country, bringing with them a range of personal and institutional perspectives. National leadership and infrastructure organizations, including Campus Compact, Campus Outreach Opportunity League, National Youth Leadership Council, StarServe and Youth Service America were represented by their executive directors. The directors of exemplary, front-line service corps such as City Year, YouthBuild, Youth Volunteer Corps of America, the D.C. Service Corps and the Philadelphia Youth Service Corps also contributed. A strong contingent of young leaders-- both program professionals and service participants-contributed their experience and perspective. And recognizing the growing prominence of state government youth service offices under the National and Community Service Act, representatives of state lead agencies from Pennsylvania, Arkansas, Michigan and Massachusetts participated along with the National Commission's Vice Chair. 1 �The substantive objectives of the two-day summit meeting were to: (1) identify the greatest achievements and needs of the field; (2) identify and prioritize strategies that will leverage the field forward; and (3) design collaborative projects that will capitalize on these leveraging strategies, together with rough estimates of cost. This report will follow this three-step structure and will detail the consensus recommendations put forward by the group. The process was marshalled and the group kept on task by a skilled facilitator, David Sawyer, Director of Students for Appalachia at Berea College in Kentucky. In preparation for the meeting, a background paper based on interviews with a sample of participants was circulated in advance to give focus to the discussions (attached). 2 �I. ACHIEVEMENTS AND NEEDS OF THE YOUTH SERVICE FIELD In the late 1980s, the broad field of youth service organizations, in a variety of institutional settings, began to conceive of itself as a true national movement. These individual "streams" of service include school-based youth service programs, collegiate organizations, full-time service and conservation corps, and community-based programs. The movement was accelerated as common interests and a common agenda emerged from a series of collaborative projects, national conferences and leadership meetings. These seminal events produced new funding strategies, leadership initiatives, coordinated policy directions, White House and Congressional youth service initiatives and other pillars which built a strong base for future growth of the field. The linkages between programs and streams of service became stronger and better defined and the field was also advanced by the power of a few exemplary programs at local and state levels and by a cadre of dedicated visionaries at the national level. The leadership summit opened with the group identifying a broad and varied list of achievements in the field of youth service over the past several years. Some participants focused on aspects of the field's infrastructure. A growing national policy and program network has been strengthened by the creation of nongovernmental leadership organizations, policy forums such as the Working Group on Youth Service Policy, collegiate leadership groups, and other coalitions and joint projects on the local, state and national levels. Others identified the quantitative expansion of the field, noting a growing number of diverse young participants, programs and funders. The number of 3 �full-time youth service corps around the country, for example, has grown from only an handful in the early 1980's to over 75 in 1992. The group also recognized as a major achievement that the idea of youth service, especially as manifested in key "model" programs, is becoming more prominent in the legislative arena, in the media and among the public. [See Exhibit A] . The field's rapid growth presents its leadership with a broad set of new challenges and deeper needs. Some of the needs dealt with the question of duration-- how to stabilize the field and strengthen programs for the long haul. Other needs addressed ways to continue the expansion of the field, developing new initiatives in certain areas to elevate the field to a new level. This was not an endorsement of growth for growth's sake, however, and the group stressed the importance of anchoring the field on a solid bedrock of principles and practices. Participants placed a high priority on ensuring that a field with increased numbers and attention can faithfully carry out its mission, maintain a high level of program quality and stay true to its philosophical roots. Exhibit B lists an inventory of needs identified by the participants, in no particular order. The field is now approaching a new stage of development and requires revised mechanisms of planning and collaboration, and fresh strategies to build and refine the movement. Many participants stressed that, with national priorities and attention beginning to recognize many aspects of the youth service agenda, we have the opportunity to enter a "lift-off" phase. Dorothy Stoneman, President of YouthBuild, underscored the importance of forward planning at this stage of the field 's development: "We have to be ahead of the game. The field has to prepare itself for a quantum leap." This 4 �sentiment was shared by many others in the group-- that, if the youth service movement is approaching the lift off point, the leaders must sharpen their focus through strategic planning and through defining and articulating common goals and visions for the movement. In addition, it was suggested that youth service leaders must ensure that there is adequate development of the field's infrastructure to prepare the field for increased attention, funding and participation. In the next stage of the summit, the group was asked to identify key leverage points of major opportunity, where aggressive implementation of effective strategies or projects would have an exponential impact on the field. From a discussion of major opportunities, participants combined and prioritized a list of five major leveraging strategies, outlined in Section II. The group then identified a list of ground-breaking projects to capitalize on the opportunities to leverage the field forward, selecting five of these to develop in greater detail, described in Section III. 5 �EXHIBIT A RECENT ACHIEVEMENTS OF THE YOUTH SERVICE FIELD Heightened Awareness: - Increased media attention - Youth service placed on bipartisan national agendas - Acknowledgement that a national youth service movement exists -Attributable, in part, to the new federal role: National and Community Service Act; the Points of Light Foundation; the President's Points of Light Initiatives. - The demonstrated viability of youth service Increased Funding: - Greater foundation and modest corporate support - Broader base of support, new funders Quantitative Growth: - More young people participating in service - More opportunities available for young people to serve - Participation enhanced by conferences and effective networks - Increased monetary value of the outcomes of service - Tangible impact of service -- millions of hours of service performed - Increased number of corps - More diversity of participants, in age and background Organization of the Field: -State and Campus Compacts -Working Group on Youth Service Policy -Stronger involvement of state governments - Creation of nongovernmental leadership organizations - New and stronger coalitions Program Development: - Urban Corps Expansion Project (UCEP), YouthBuild and conservation corps - Volunteer Centers and high school service clubs - Outreach to traditional youth organizations: Scouts, 4H ... - Good strong models for evaluation purposes - The demonstrated viability of youth service Service and Schools: - Linkages between education and national service - Greater involvement of teachers - Development of service learning curricula - Forging school-community partnerships The Lives of Young People - Stronger youth participation and leadership in youth service decision making - Changes in youth servers' lives, development of citizenship - Second chances for inner city youth - Involving younger youth in service - Professional opportunities within the youth service field - Creation of role models/heroes/mentors 7 �American Society - Redefining the role of youth in society -- youth as resources - Service as a reciprocal act -Social and institutional changes, service and social action -More community members involved in service EXHIBIT B THE GREATEST NEEDS OF THE YOUTH SERVICE MOVEMENT Maintain financial stability, expand sources of funding Launch a massive PR campaign to integrate the idea of service into popular culture Involve young people in service at a much younger age Increase effective outreach to "isolated" youth, not currently participating Institutionalize service learning and youth leadership as major principles of the movement Create career paths and professional opportunities for work within the field Focus on leadership development of young people Integrate service into existing institutions and movements -- school reform, juvenile justice, war on drugs ... Develop closer connection with educational institutions of all types Develop closer connection between service and reflection, doing and thinking Develop linkages between "band-aid" approaches and social justice/advocacy, and between volunteerism and community service Make transition from compassion to policy to social justice Penetrate the public policy debates -- get off periphery Build coalitions of nonprofits: government, education, business, religion Develop more comprehensive approach to social and community issues Set measurable community goals Foster support from a greater number of community leaders Work closely with policy makers and become more politically sophisticated Develop more support for the field -- training, research, technical assistance, a clearinghouse for information Identify hard data on whether programs work and why Foster accountability, democracy, cohesion among players in the field Specific, strategic goal setting for each stream Develop linkages among streams of service Emphasize the development of nongovernmental infrastructure agencies -- e.g. YSA, COOL, NASCC, Campus Compact, NYLC Develop a stronger infrastructure to support programs Develop a stronger policy base and process for arriving at policy goals for the movement Ensure the policy base supports a diversity of programs and innovation Identify implications of growth -- does service allow for/require a reallocation of resources and replacement of professional workers and services? Launch a professional journal for the youth service field Reauthorize the National and Community Service Act, with appropriate improvements. 8 �II. THE LEVERAGING STRATEGIES 1. Integration of Service into the Critical Institutions of American Society In many ways, youth service is beginning to take center stage in America. Youth service programs are far-reaching and beginning to impact upon many of our critical national institutions, developing collaborative projects and defining shared goals. In the District of Columbia, the State of Maryland and elsewhere, the public school system has instituted a service requirement and is working to achieve its effective implementation; in Boston, the corporate community has been systematically mobilized in support of the City Year corps program; and in Los Angeles, the media's attention to the Los Angeles Conservation Corps in the wake of the L.A. riots was extensive. But many voices at the meeting recognized that in order to move to the next level, the idea of youth service has to penetrate these critical institutions -- schools, business, media --on a more consistent and far-reaching basis. The group identified these established institutions as major areas of opportunity through which youth service organizations could mobilize existing resources by identifying partnerships and shared agendas. For example, in the case of City Year, the business community in Boston has been brought together around this innovative corps program to make a substantial re-investment in the local communities and in the city's youth. Another way in which institutions could use their force to leverage the field forward is simply through increasing understanding and widening the circle of "true 9 �believers" who have seen the benefits of youth service in action. And, third, institutions can offer the youth service movement stability and staying power, ensuring that the idea of youth service never becomes viewed as a "passing fad" once the current flurry of attention passes. Discussion also pointed out that assimilation into existing, large-scale institutions, such as public education, the employment training system and federal agencies, does carry an attendant risk of erosion of principles of best practice. This problem could surface if expansion outruns the reach of the technical assistance capabilities of the field's several, but still small, leadership organizations or if larger new federal or state government initiatives bypass the field's current leadership. Overall, the institutions most often mentioned in the discussions as potential youth service allies were the media, government, schools, community organizations, religious groups and the business/funding sector. The Media: Marketing the youth service message, and exemplary programs in particular, was widely cited as a high priority for the field. Participants suggested that, through a more coordinated and sophisticated use of the mass media on a local and national basis, the general public could be made more aware of youth service. In addition to a mass market approach, it was suggested that key professional communities-- teachers, employers, government officials -- could be educated through focused marketing strategies. In this way, the critical institutions themselves could be targeted directly through the media. Towards these ends, the group rated as a high priority the launching of a National Marketing Campaign for the youth service field (see IliA). 10 �The Government: Youth service has increasingly been adopted into the agendas of local and national policyrnakers. Through legislation or through the power of their office (e.g. the "bully pulpit"), national policy makers have had a great impact on moving the field ahead. And at the state and local levels, governors and mayors have demonstrated the ability to mobilize their communities behind youth service. The participation of 500 mayors across the country in National Youth Service Day 1992 through coordination with the U.S. Conference of Mayors is one striking example. The single greatest leveraging strategy through the government sector to date has been the National and Community Service Act of 1990. Key leaders in the field were instrumental in defining its policy framework and securing its passage, most forcefully through the youth service leadership forum, YSA's Working Group on Youth Service Policy. Local programs also had a significant impact on the national level. They served as tangible examples for Members of Congress of youth service in action in the Members' states and congressional districts across the country. Maintaining this capacity for coordinated action within the field was described as challenging but vital to the future of the field; one of the proposed projects later in the text addresses this leverage strategy directly-- the National Leadership Initiatives. The Schools: The establishment of closer connections between service and education was a consistent and clear recommendation by participants. The institutions of our public and private schools represent an incredible resource with which to develop collaborative initiatives around common goals. The development and implementation of service learning curricula in some 11 �schools around the country have been pioneering steps in this direction, but there was a strong sentiment within the group that additional resources needed to be committed to this leveraging point. The group gave high priority to targeting teachers with coordinated, interactive training about service learning and high school service programs through Comprehensive Preservice and Inservice Teacher Education Programs. Community Organizations: At the heart of youth service programs are essential community needs. Therefore, critical institutions at the local community level were identified as important partners for collaboration in youth service initiatives. Collaborative initiatives could be developed into lasting relationships and, it was hoped, youth service integrated into the mindset and programs of local service providers. Many participants also pointed to tighter linkages between service programs and existing community organizations as important ways to ensure that the impact of service is responsive and is targeted at real needs. In addition, partnerships would ensure that all existing community resources -- manpower, expertise, funding -- were mobilized to meet the ends of service. Partnership projects which mobilize pairs or broad coalitions of organizations have the potential to expand, strengthen and leverage the field. The Business/Funding Sector: The group noted that a greater commitment of resources on the part of American society is necessary to reach the day when all young Americans have the opportunity to serve their communities through high-quality programs. This need for more funding was put in terms of broadening the existing base of individuals, corporations and private foundations which have supported youth service initiatives in recent years. 12 �Before passage of the National and Community Service Act, the field's expansion strategies were essentially fueled by foundation support, yet relatively few foundations have made youth service a priority and corporate support is thin at all levels of the field. Reaching out farther into national and community foundations, the business community and "non-traditional" sources of income would not only "enlarge the pie" but would also work towards a broader understanding of the benefits of youth service throughout the country. 2. Strengthening the Infrastructure of the Field The youth service field is unusual in that many of its "established" programs and organizations are just 3 to 5 years old. It is a field filled with entrepreneurs and pioneers, whose programs have ploughed into uncertainty and, very often, set new standards of excellence. For the field to rna ture, one day's innovation must become the next day's conventional wisdom, as program veterans are able to identify and communicate principles of best practice and successful program models, and communicate them to broader constituencies. Today, with the introduction of growing numbers of youth service programs and participants, fledgling programs are looking to the pioneers for guidance and instruction. And the pioneers themselves, still writing the rules for the field, require a firm and expanding base of support as they move up the ladder rung after rung. Across the board, participants identified the need for the strengthening of the field's infrastructure. They identified shared needs for information, training and professional development, research, technical assistance and evaluation. 13 �This not only requires a sharing of knowledge and experience within the field, but the proactive generation of hard data on program models and practices. This information can be used to leverage the field forward by developing effective collaborative systems of collection, processing and dissemination. Mobilizing resources and developing strategies around common goals, such as youth leadership, the creation of professional career opportunities within the field and the development of local capital were all put forward as other desired products of a stronger infrastructure. Infrastructure investments should cut across the various constituencies -school, college, corps and community programs-- and promote cross-streams collaboration. There were calls to expand and build upon the work that independent sector organizations such as Campus Compact, Campus Outreach Opportunity League, National Association of Service and Conservation Corps, National Youth Leadership Council, YouthBuild USA and Youth Service America, have done to provide this kind of support to their constituencies. The National and Community Service Act sets aside a significant but relatively small pool of discretionary funding to help develop the infrastructure of the youth service field. Summit participants called for significant additional support from the government, foundations and the corporate sector in order to address their concerns in this area. The concept of building youth service leadership hubs, or centers of excellence, at both national and regional levels, was also discussed as part of the new architecture needed for the field's advancement. The hub concept follows a principle the field's pioneers have followed to ensure program 14 �quality during rapid growth: building on a foundation of successful program models in each stream and through the leadership of seasoned innovators and managers who share an integrated vision for the field. Creating a rooted field, the new hubs or centers of excellence would be the field's finest programs, most skilled leaders, and visionary organizations which are already demonstrating the directions in which the field can grow soundly. New resources coming into the field would be directed to these hubs which would develop expansion and replication strategies, and technical assistance capabilities to implement them with a high probability for success. Hubs might also act as venture capital centers, overseeing investments made with foundation, government and corporate contributions within categories that are areas of expertise of the respective hubs. With this strategy, political spoils systems might be avoided and failed ventures that might harm the youth service field's reputation could be minimized. The growth of the field would be managed by the field's rooted centers of excellence. 3. Collaboration on the National Level to Organize, Broaden and Develop the Field through Identifying Fundamental Policy and Funding Strategies. Following on from the infrastructure strategies outlined above, the group devoted a great deal of attention to refining the leadership or governance structures of the field-- who makes decisions and by what processes? A more unified vision and voice for the field was identified as a crucial goal, if the idea of youth service is ever to carry with it the power of a true "movement." John Briscoe, Director of PennSERVE, said: "We aspire to be a movement and there are now strong signs that we are. But to sustain this, we need an 15 �ongoing institutional structure to consult, to debate and, when necessary, to speak as one." Samuel Halperin, Study Director of the William T. Grant Foundation's Commission on Youth and America's Future, argued that "the field needs a strong, guiding entity at the center, or else the different streams may spin off on their own, without a sense of unity or common destiny." Participants recognized several areas in which national leadership initiatives could work towards common goals and leverage the entire field forward: building and strengthening internal coalitions; strategic planning; policy development and government relations; and outreach to the general public. The crucial issues are reinforcing processes for setting common goals and for undertaking cooperative actions as the field grows, and finding funding to stabilize these capacities. Amid the calls for collective action in some key areas, several participants did raise caveats about building the field's central leadership capabilities, and questions of exactly how to proceed. Halperin identified several areas in which the field could move strongly if it moved together, but asked: "how much priority are leaders of individual organizations willing to give to initiatives that will benefit the movement as a whole, compared to the priority of advancing their own programs?" He pointed out, however, that consultation and compromise could identify shared priorities and common goals. Some participants, including Gail Kong, CEO of StarServe, argued that any central entity must have established processes that are democratic, consultative and inclusive. 16 �Most participants agreed that the field should be deliberative and incremental in strengthening existing leadership groups and in creating new mechanisms for collective action. Chuck Supple, Vice President of the Points of Light Foundation, summarized a general opinion of the group that "we should move ahead, but move slowly and take intermediate steps." A widely suggested area of coordinated leadership initiatives was the legislative and policy arena. Jim Kielsmeier of NYLC noted the "potential to lift up a more clear, commonly-held vision of the field ... [and] the potential for coordinated action, primarily around policy development and legislative action." Other specific areas ripe for common action were a field-wide marketing/media strategy, leadership training and clearinghouses that cross streams of service, and, more generally, regular meetings of the field's leadership. The group recognized that the development of these capabilities falls on the nongovernmental leaders in the field, since the federal legislation has focused primarily on the states and localities without major recognition of the role of the field's national nonprofit leadership organizations. 4. Philosophical Deepening The youth service movement is much more than just a collection of individual programs, a framework, and a leadership group with a strategic plan. The philosophical undercurrents, which flow through the field like electricity, have as much to do with defining the identity and future of the field as any of its structural elements. As new programs enter the field, along 17 �with new constituencies and new sources of funding, the philosophical roots and direction of the movement become even more important as a bond that holds the programs and streams together under common goals. Bill Hoogterp, Executive Director of COOL, placed this idea of philosophical deepening high up in his list of priorities for the field: "Funding is always a primary consideration for us, but it isn't really the frontline challenge. The challenge is developing a collective message and vision that, if found, can be articulated and will charge and inspire the media, major funders, the American people and the major institutions in this country." Clarifying the purpose and mission underlying the youth service movement for public consumption was identified by others, as well, as an ongoing challenge for the field. A "Tower of Babel" image of the youth service field, with a thousand individual voices and missions, would not be compelling for either the general public or for funders. Through a clearer delineation of the underlying principles, rationale and goals of youth service, it was argued that youth service would be better understood and more likely to receive a greater investment by American society. David Sawyer explained that the group's understanding of "philosophical deepening" involved more than just the ability to express clearer principles and goals. "As a field, we have to be aware of, and develop, and demonstrate to others the direct linkages between community service and other key elements of our society." Sawyer said that these linkages, which were discussed by the group, included the close relationship between youth service and cultural diversity, youth empowerment, democracy and citizenship, social and systemic change, advocacy, spiritual and personal development, 18 �and careers in public service. "These are among the threads that weave youth service into the fabric of American society," said Roger Landrum of YSA. "Inside the field, we need to keep broadening our understanding of these philosophical underpinnings and how they are tied to the missions of our programs. And we also have to get the point across to the general public that all of these ideas are manifested in service programs." The youth service field, beyond its programmatic achievements, clearly aspires to help lead American democracy beyond racial and class divisions, to institutional renewal, and to a new vitality of citizenship. One philosophical area especially important to members of the group is the role of youth. Participants stressed that the field needs to always recognize as a priority greater youth involvement not only in service programs, but in leadership of the movement. Diane Jackson, a recent graduate of American University who will coordinate the campus service aspects of the D.C. Comprehensive Service Plan, said: "As a field, we need to practice what we preach. Because we all recognize the power of youth and the importance of youth leadership, we have to provide opportunities for young people to play leadership roles within the field, just as we encourage them to play active roles in social change. With that, we must make sure they have the support and training to be effective leaders, both in the service field and in society." 5. The Importance of Measurable Goals The central aspect of this strategy revolves around the need to document achievements, shortcomings, changes and impact in the youth service field. Participants recognized that identifying goals and analyzing results can help 19 �to get to the heart of service by assessing the impact of programs on communities and on the lives of young people. In her recent book, Within our Reach, Elizabeth Schorr recognizes this need to operate programs with goals in mind; she profiles a series of model programs that have successfully done this, and whose work has a demonstrated impact. Participants argued that leaders of service programs, as well as participants, need to ask the targeted questions that will not only sharpen their focus but will also lead to more effective programs. Are we reducing the numbers of homeless Americans? Are fewer young people dropping out of school? Participants identified a range of ways in which the development of this kind of data could benefit the field. First, these conclusions would provide constructive evaluative feedback for programs and for leaders of the field in terms of the impact of service. In this way, the youth service field could identify success and not just applaud it but replicate it as well. This resultsoriented data would also strengthen the internal identity of the field since it would enhance the ability of the field to set, measure and share common goals. And finally, the numbers and results could be used to demonstrate to the public, funders, and government the tangible impact of youth service. The process of identifying goals and collecting information about impact must be done on the level of individual programs, for each of the youth service programming streams, and on the national, field-wide level as well. Substantial funds will be needed to achieve this. And the field will need the assistance of professional researchers, including the country's great research universities, to build a solid body of knowledge. 20 �III. THE PRIORITY PROJECTS The group focused on identifying specific projects to push ahead in each leverage area. From the larger pool of proposed projects (listed in section IV) the group selected five projects to discuss in greater detail, with the assumption that this work would serve as a springboard for future development of these projects. These projects initially sketched at the summit are: a National Marketing Campaign, a series of City-wide Youth Service Initiatives, National Leadership Initiatives, a Youth Service Census and Almanac, and a Comprehensive In-service and Pre-service Teacher Training Program. Teams were formed to flesh out each priority project. 1. National Marketing Campaign Jennifer Bastress, Campus Outreach Opportunity League David Battey, Youth Volunteer Corps of America Michael Brown, City Year Diana Bucco, Pennsylvania Campus Compact Tony Fairbanks, Philadelphia Youth Service Corps Gail Kong, Star Serve Harlan McKosato, United National Indian Tribal Youth Billie Ann Meyers, Arkansas Division of Volunteerism Nate Nelson, YVCA The Plan: A central marketing project for the youth service field would be created and empowered to wage a wide-ranging campaign to promote public awareness and a deep understanding of the power of youth service. Phase one would consist of setting strategy and setting the parameters of the 21 �campaign. A cross section of program specialists from within the field, along with expert public relations consultants, would be brought in by the marketing project staff to define a set of issues, themes and goals for the campaign. It was argued that some level of ongoing consultation would be necessary throughout the campaign to encourage ideas from the youth service field, to ensure buy-in and to gauge impact. After the initial planning phase, the project would then directly implement the multimedia marketing strategies. The campaign would include: national and local advertising on television, radio and print; placement of op-ed pieces and stories featuring service and exemplary programs; local campaigns built around themes or programs; marketing to key target audiences and institutions, such as teachers and public employees; publication of informational and promotional books and pamphlets; and training local programs in marketing techniques. Participants argued that the marketing project would need to have a truly national scope and a firm strategic sense of the youth service field. Mike Brown, Co-Director of the City Year corps program, suggested that the project could be created as a stand-alone entity, soliciting input and direction from a group of national youth service leadership organizations. Alternately, he suggested that it could be a project of Youth Service America, because of YSA's national scope and experience in developing cross-streams projects. This marketing effort was given a multi-million dollar price tag by the group and was chosen by most summit participants as a central priority. The initial 22 �planning period was given a price tag of $250,000. In full swing, the marketing division might operate on a budget of up to $5 million/year. Rationale: Mike Brown was especially insistent about the priority of this project. "John Kennedy set a major national goal for the nation-- put a man on the moon by 1969 --and then mobilized the resources and commitment to carry it out. We can set our sights high too. Aim for 1 million young Americans participating in full-time service by the year 2000, with 3 million in quality part-time programs. We're not going to get there without a very aggressive and strategic marketing effort that increases awareness of youth service and establishes it as a priority for this country." Brown, along with the other members of the program team developing this concept, urged the rest of the summit participants to "think big" and learn from successful marketing strategies in the private sector. By defining and publicizing the key themes of the field, and recognizing the exemplary programs, the campaign would not only provide for greater national understanding and support for the field, but could also provide internal strength as scattered participants come to see themselves as part of a bigger picture. In addition, the media efforts would help to create a context for the expansion of the youth service field. With a greater national understanding of the power of youth service, the public would not only see an opportunity to expand the field, but would be convinced that there is a genuine need to make youth service a national priority. In addition to capitalizing on the leveraging opportunities identified in Strategy #1 (Critical Institutions), the national marketing campaign would 23 �also address Strategy #5 (Measurable Goals). The tangible, measurable impact of service on the lives of young people and in the community would make a potent and compelling message; but lacking a messenger, this message could not be conveyed. The group recognized the need for a sophisticated mechanism for relaying stories and data about the impact of service to the general public. In addition, the group identified public perception of youth service as a goal that ought to be measured; a national marketing campaign could build in an evaluation component to track its effectiveness. 2. City-Wide Youth Service Initiatives David Crowley, Students for Appalachia/Berea College Diane Jackson, D.C. Service Coalition Vanessa Kirsch, Public Allies The Plan: This project would launch five innovative youth service initiatives in five locations around the country, mobilizing young people from the various citywide programs and major local organizations to address a central community need. A "national oversight board," along with a small national staff, would develop guidelines and procedures, then solicit applications that addressed the central themes of the program. Each of the five model initiatives, selected by the oversight board from a pool of entries, would be designed to: use youth as resources to address a critical community need; focus the community's attention on that need; and create innovative partnerships between existing community-level organizations, government officials, schools, the media, and business and celebrity leaders in the community. 24 �Each project would kick off with a youth summit meeting with community leaders to assess needs and resources, and to design the year-long initiative. For example, a creative, well-constructed proposal could mobilize young people, schools and community groups in Seattle to address a growing and widely-recognized gang problem in that city. Then, during the course of the year, the project would involve young people working with other coalition members in service, addressing the identified pressing community problem. The project would receive a $25,000 grant, which would have to be matched by local support, to cover operational costs. The initial one-year start up phase of the project, in which the oversight board and the full-time staff developed the program guidelines and solicited the initial applications, was slated at $100,000. From Year Two, in which the first five initiatives would be launched along with technical assistance and back-up, the project would require an annual outlay of at least $300,000 per year. Rationale: This City-wide Youth Service Initiative is an example of a project falling at the intersection of several leverage points. By striking new partnerships between major players and institutions at the community level, the project mobilizes untapped resources and creates the possibility for lasting relationships. Each initiative would also help to strengthen the infrastructure of the field, developing linkages and collaborative relationships at the local level. The Initiative also presents the opportunity to use the mass media as a leveraging strategy. By placing young people on the front lines of problem25 �solving, addressing a widely recognized and tangible community need, the idea and practice of service can gain access to the public spotlight. And as distinct, intensive campaigns, each initiative would be able to provide a body of measurable results-- ranging from participation to impact. An essential part of each initiative would be a tangible need, a visible set of goals, a local/ community focus and the recognition of youth as resources. These factors, together, would make each project a tangible model of the power of youth service as a vehicle for social change, for building communities, and for providing opportunities for youth leadership and involvement. Cross-streams collaboration, involving young people of differing ages and backgrounds in teamwork is a central goal of this project. 3. National Leadership Initiatives Samuel Halperin, W.T. Grant Foundation Commission Bill Hoogterp, Campus Outreach Opportunity League Jim Kielsmeier, National Youth Leadership Council Gail Kong, StarServe Roger Landrum, YSA Shirley Sagawa, National Commission David Sawyer, Meeting Facilitator Toni Schmiegelow, City Volunteer Corps Susan Stroud, Campus Compact Chuck Supple, Points of Light Foundation The plan: The primary project emerging from leveraging strategy two-"Collaboration on the National Level -- was the development of national leadership capabilities around concerns shared by the various streams of service. 26 �The first step, on a time-sensitive schedule, was the creation of a Task Force to address the reauthorization of the National and Community Service Act in 1993. The group recommended that this Task Force be chaired by Shirley Sagawa and be as inclusive as possible in an effort to ensure buy-in at every level and from every stream of service. The Task Force will conduct regional hearings and conduct a survey, to solicit a broad base of input and to identify any new needs of the field. As an outgrowth of the survey, the Task Force will also mobilize a cross-streams, grass-roots advocacy effort around the reauthorization effort. Participants also suggested that the The Task Force publish a "Voices from the Field" report with a range of views of new directions for the NCS Act. This plan was accepted by the group and the decision was made to proceed immediately. The second step in the national leadership project, as fleshed out by the group, was a reconvening of the principals of national organizations who attended this summit meeting. An additional number of leaders would be invited to participate, with numbers reaching no more than 15. Youth Service America was asked to convene the meeting, with planning input from an Advisory Group comprised of leaders of national organizations attending the summit. David Sawyer was asked, once again, to act as a facilitator. The agenda for this one-day next-step meeting was set: to compare in depth organizational missions, agendas and roles, and to explore ideological differences and reach common understanding of differing interests and 27 �priorities. The second agenda item will be to discuss an agenda for a regular series of national leadership meetings, and to determine the scope and purpose of the meetings. One idea is to undertake a field-wide strategic planning process with the guidance of expert consultants. Dorothy Stoneman agreed to draw up a "Quarterly Meeting Structure and Schedule" as background for planning the meeting series. This follow-up meeting was envisioned as the first step in a process of reinforcing and developing collaborative efforts on the national level to address fundamental and critical needs of the youth service field. Rationale: The potential benefits of increased consultation between the key national organizations have been highlighted throughout this report: the ability to set goals and agendas for the field, the ability to foster cross-stream collaboration, the ability to formulate policy positions and the ability to define central messages of the field and to speak with a unified voice. This summit, itself a National Leadership Initiative, was identified by participants as a very positive step for the field, not only in terms of the specific projects defined, but by the enhanced sense of teamwork and the sharing of common visions. Participants emphasized the importance of the structure and process of leadership initiatives and common, field-wide projects. Jim Kielsmeier emphasized that a democratic process was important to ensure the inclusion of ideas and viewpoints, and to ensure that the various organizations around the country feel part of the movement. Chuck Supple took this suggestion one step further, suggesting that the entire youth service movement be accessible and work to include all sectors of American society: "we should try to make service owned by everyone." 28 �4. Youth Service Census and Almanac Andre Berry, City Year Keith Canty, DC Service Corps Bill Hoogterp, Campus Outreach Opportunity League The plan: This project would launch the comprehensive collection of field data and information in the form of a Youth Service Census. The results of this census would contribute, in part, to the production of a youth service Almanac, targeted at young service participants. The Census would cover all streams of service, collecting information every three or five years from every school and college/university in the country, as well as all community-based and corps programs. Before launching the census, a task force of youth service and census experts would conduct a needs assessment and design the survey questions. A preliminary sketch of questions to be asked of each program include: basic structure and philosophy; impact of service; number of service participants involved; demographics of participants; budget range and source of funding; information on professional and volunteer staff. The information would be compiled, published and then sold to national organizations, state lead agencies, funders, programs and individuals. The group recommended that one, or several, of the central national youth service organizations play a major role in organizing and supervising the project, and also suggested that much of the data collection could be contracted out to a professional survey firm. 29 �The Almanac would use some of the program information gathered by the Census, but would complement this with information relevant to young service participants. In addition to a broad review of service opportunities for young people, including names and addresses of organizations, the Almanac would include background information about the history and philosophy of youth service, the various streams and different types of program models. Several participants underscored the importance of presentation, suggesting photographs and profiles of young service entrepreneurs. In addition, the group suggested that a celebrity actively involved in service and youth issues be actively involved in promoting the publication. Cost of the Almanac was estimated at $300,000 for the first 10,000 copies-including staffing, research, computer needs and printing costs. The program would be designed to maintain itself in the long run through sales of the book. The rationale: The census and the almanac serve somewhat different purposes, but both provide a road map of the field. The existence of a common road map was described as an important development in the selfidentity of the field. More specifically, the information collected would act as a valuable resource to service participants and program staff alike, and would accelerate other research initiatives in the field. As the field expands and service programs and activities become available in all 50 states, accurate and useful information will be needed by many audiences, from Congress to the youth people seeking to serve. 30 �The two projects have marketing rationales as well. Results from the census could be broken down and compiled to demonstrate the scope or impact of youth service, and used as a marketing tool for the field. 5. Comprehensive In-service and Pre-service Teacher Training Program Diana Algra, Michigan Community Service Commission Although this project was selected as a high priority by the group, all of the participants but one chose to develop the other project areas during the project development stage. Nonetheless, the group felt strongly about the need to integrate the idea and practice of youth service into the infrastructure of American schools and especially to inform and train the nation's teachers in program design and Principles of Best Practice. The premise behind this project is to mobilize and pool service learning resources and information into a teacher training program, targeted both at teachers familiar with and new to service learning. This plan would use the training to leverage the idea of service into America's schools and create a new circle of youth service advocates by bringing larger numbers of teachers into the movement. In addition, the training would provide a quantitative and qualitative growth of K-12 service curricula and programs, and ensure that growing numbers of students are exposed to quality service opportunities through their schools. 31 �IV. OTHER PROJECTS The following projects, like the five detailed above, were identified by the group to capitalize on the leveraging strategies. Time constraints made it impossible to fully develop all suggested projects, however. Those that were not selected for development at the summit meeting are listed below. 1. YSA, with the assistance of a National Advisory Board, would retain a strategic planner for the youth service field. The goal would be to engage the leading organizations and constituencies in development of a clearer common vision and longer-term expansion plan for the field as a whole. 2. Develop the skeleton for a national system of youth service based on creating centers of excellence and replication, or hubs, and invest in an infrastructure rooted in and utilizing the expertise of outstanding local programs and leadership. The field's growth strategy needs to create an enduring system of national youth service and avoid developments that discredit youth service. Congress and corporations, in particular, must be engaged in a growth strategy the field's leaders believe will work. 3. Comprehensive training and support for young professionals within the youth service field, including the development of career paths and the establishment of an interactive network of mentors. 4. Development of standards and training for programs and organizations that involve young people in leadership and governance, as well as 32 �recognition of exemplary organizations that provide leadership roles for young people. 5. Convene a meeting of youth service players to identify social needs and strategies for affecting change; disseminate White Paper with results of this meeting; develop position statement acceptable to all participants. 6. Create a clearinghouse of programs focusing on social change as an outcome of service. 7. Convene a group of national youth service leaders to set a specific series of national goals, such as: increase awareness/ support of youth service to 75% nationwide; raise number of nonprofits with youth representation on their board of directors to 50%; increase number of young people participating in leadership training nationwide to 1000/year. 33 �V. CONCLUSION It is clear from this meeting that the youth service field has in recent years achieved a solid initial level of success. This can be measured by a growing program network across the country, rich in the range of its local models and the diversity of young people becoming involved in service, and by an emerging youth service policy framework at national, state and local levels. A vigorous if sometimes shaky sense of common direction and purpose has also been achieved without sacrificing the extraordinarily decentralized and entrepreneurial nature of the field. Summit participants also believe that the accelerating growth of the field is approaching a "lift off" stage which, if successfully navigated, can generate a new, large-scale, system of national and community service bringing enormous benefits to young people, the social and environmental needs they serve, and the civic values of the country. The challenges faced by the field and its leaders, however, if the surge of growth is to be well managed over the next couple of years and sustained beyond that are large and growing more complex. The processes of consultation, of setting common goals, and of implementing activities with a spirit of unity, must be substantially improved among the field's key organizations and various levels to meet the new challenges. Broad avenues for leveraging the youth service field forward on a truly enduring foundation have been identified and outlined in this report. 34 �Timely progress in each of these areas will clearly require first-class planning and capabilities, on the order of resources utilized by top corporations or major government efforts. The entrepreneurial leadership of the youth service field has achieved much with little, but will be deeply challenged and tested to meet the ambitious goals implicit in the leverage points and projects identified in this report. Two of the projects-- the Task Force on reauthorization of the National and Community Service Act and the follow-up meeting for the National Leadership Group -- can be implemented immediately without straining available resources. Shirley Sagawa has agreed to chair the Task Force and is uniquely qualified to do so. Youth Service America has agreed to host a follow-up meeting of the principals of the field's national organizations for an in-depth exploration of missions, interests, and agendas-- to assess to what extent and how the national leadership can act in unison to encourage and direct the field's next stage of potentially explosive expansion. The other priority projects will require collaboratively developed, detailed work plans and major new funding to move into an action phase. A final finding from the summit is highly encouraging about the future of the field. The field's pioneering leadership is fully committed to responding effectively to the new challenges of creating a large-scale national youth service, and will see the proposed projects through to completion to the extent that resources can be found to plan and implement these projects. Shirley Sagawa, Vice Chair of the National Commission, summed up the concluding tone of the meeting: "This was a very important process, having 35 �YSA pull us all together to discuss where we are headed. Coming out of the meeting, I think the group felt very positive. There was a sense of buy-in to the whole process and a renewed commitment to work together within the movement." The sentiment of common missions and visions was echoed throughout summit, and especially in the concluding exercises. David Sawyer wrapped up the meeting by detailing some of the visions that underlie the work carried out by all organizations in the youth service field . We share a commitment to give real opportunities to our nation's young people to serve and to learn, and to use the energy and ideas of young people to develop solutions to our most serious social problems. These are, in fact, the true "leveraging strategies" that will build and strengthen our communities, our nation and our future. 36 �MEMORANDUM July 5, 1992 TO: PLANNING RETREAT PARTICIPANTS FROM: YSA PLANNING TEAM/DAVID SAWYER RE: PREMEETING WARMUP YOUTI-I SERVICE AMERICA THE CHALLENGE OF MANAGING GROWTH During the past two weeks, a sampling of meeting participants has been interviewed to assess . the progress we, as a field, have made over the past three years, and to begin an effort to identify key leverage points for assuring the field's continued progress. Several "big picture" issues began to emerge from these interviews. These issues are briefly introduced in this paper. We will explore them more fully over the course of the day and a half gathering at Georgetown University. The group of field leaders who have agreed to participate in this gathering have been identified as among the premier strategic thinkers in the field, and also as among the key proactive and positive leaders. David Sawyer, who will lead the discussions, has asked that all of us be prepared to look at the field with fresh eyes both in terms of solutions to some of the issues that are being raised and in terms of major breakthrough strategies to move the field ahead. For the success of these deliberations, we all need to be prepared to look beyond organizational self interest to the wider interests of the progress of the field as a whole. We ask that you come prepared to think creatively about new ventures, new kinds of relationships , and new successes for youth service. Managing Growth: The Balancing Act The most compelling theme that emerged repeatedly in the interviews is the issue of effectively managing the challenges of a period of dynamic growth. This issue was raised in many different contexts by virtually everyone interviewed. All agree that the youth service field has grown substantially -sometimes explosively -- over the past three years in terms of visibility , resources , number of programs, number of young people involved. Substantial new forces and influences have entered the 13 19 F Street, NW, Suite 900 , Wa shington, DC 20004 202/783 -8855 • FAX 202/347-2603 �field. We have, to take an obvious example, a major federal partner and connections to key allies in Congress, the White House, and State Houses across the country. Yet despite (or perhaps because of) this and other achievements, the field has reached a critical juncture. What steps need to be taken to preserve the spirit, innovation, and momentum which propelled the field forward in the early years? How do we create collaborative relationships and solid infrastructure to support, rather than displace or overwhelm, the groundwork that has been so carefully laid? Does rapid expansion inevitably come at the potentially high cost of neglecting support of the seminal efforts already in place or can we effectively combine growth with continuity? How can we better cooperate to achieve the goals we agree upon for the field? Institutionalization: Balkanizing or Organizing? Inherent in the successful growth of any field or movement is the tension created as the field becomes more institutionalized. New attitudes and skills are required to move from a stage of insurgency to a stage of broader succcess and institution building. A number of interviews identified a specific area of concern during this stage of swift transition. That is the state lead agency system creted by the National and Community Service Act of 1990 just beginning to take shape. Some believe that the new state system led by state governments is a breakthrough strategy that will build and solidify statewide networks across institutional lines. But others view it much differently and assert that even at this early point, the state systems are becoming a political "spoils system" which favors the "same old favored players" and leaves little room for the truly innovative players. Will the act result in just another layer of bureaucracy that will discourage innovation at the local level or is it a brilliant strategic plan that will create lasting structures to support the best in the field? What kinds of outcomes do we want to see for youth service in the states? What kinds of actions can we undertake to ensure the outcomes we want to see in the states? The issue of institutionalization came up in another context as well. That is expansion of youth service programming into already existing institutions such as schools and higher education systems, and into job training and welfare systems. How do we maintain reasonable quality control over program models as youth service becomes intertwined within systems that have equally valid but different goals? Does growth for the field in this context mean that new definitions of quality and youth service programming must be �hammered out? Or do we need to educate a new set of policymakers about the program models and principles of best practice that have brought us this far? Are we building a new national system and institution of youth service programming or are we blending into already existing systems and institutions? Long Term Organizational Survival Nearly everyone interviewed mentioned the need for stabilization of their own organizations and other key organizations and progams in the field. Growth at breakneck speed in recent years has shifted the challenges faced by the field's leadership from those of insurgency to those of creating solid organizations that will survive beyond the "fad" stage to . ensure continuity. Many of the organizations that have led the field to this point are experiencing fluctuating budgets, high staff turnover, and lurching, sporadic growth. This appears to be equally true of broad, constituency-based national organizations and pacesetting local programs. Burnout is a problem at several staffing levels, from executive directors to team leaders. Stability of funding sources is a particularly serious problem for nonprofits which have been supported almost exclusively by foundations. Most of the national nonprofits that have led the field in the early years are now dwarfed by the federal funds that have been pumped into newly created organizations. Other organizations face the challenge of planning for a major influex of funding through the National Commission. If a youth service field consistent with our original vision and commitment to quality is to endure, we may need to pay closer attention now to building stronger organizations -- organizations which nurture staff and which plan more carefully for the future. Living dangerously has been exciting for serveral years, but it probably means diminished effectiveness in the years ahead. What strategies will help us stabilize our organizations? Who are the allies we can look to to help us achieve this goal? How do we preserve innovation and momentum as we sow the seeds to ensure organizational survival? The Need For Long Distance Runners A number of people interviewed identified expansion leadership cadre for the youth service field as one of the achievements of the past three years. Yet another issue the survival of organizations and assurance of quality for of the key related to the field as �a whole emerged in the interviews. That is the need to create and nurture a growing stable of leaders for the field who will carry the torch in the years to come. More and more young leaders are beginning to consider career commitments to youth service. How can the field work with them to pass on the "lessons learned," provide real leadership roles, prevent early burnout, and provide incentives for staying with the field? Another concern identified is the need for long distance runners allied with the field in national leadership positions in Congress (for instance, Harris Wofford), in the White House, in state and local leadership structure, in the corporate sector, and in the media. We may need to become better organized to identify and cultivate a broad base of people in positions of power who will work with the field over the long haul to insure that youth service remains at the forefront of the national agenda. What is the cooperative strategy that will help us do this? Organizational Relationships: Survival Of The Fittest A hot topic touched upon in many interviews is the sometimes "sensitive" nature of organizational relationships within the field. As the field has grown, turf issues and ideological differences (sometimes with Grand Canyon-like proportions) seem also to have grown and become more intense. While many mentioned this problem, few wanted to risk saying much about it. Yet leadership conflicts, organizational competition, and sharply differing interests and perspectives about the field are clearly one of the central obstacles we face in moving the field ahead. Perhaps we need to revisit a basic question: what is the common ground which unites us? An example will illustrate the point. The concept of a powerful, unified promotional campaign for the youth service field has been percolating for several years. It was mentioned in many of the interviews as one of the field's primary needs. Aside from questions about how a national advertising campaign could be funded, how could we successfully launch a promotional campaign for the field when we can't even agree on a common message? Can we grow any further as a movement without cooperation among those who lead the field? Will competition and a Darwinian model of relationships become our modus operandi? Is the competition healthy or not? Judging by the interviews, it is seen as a serious obstacle to be overcome. How can we effectively manage the sometimes fierce competition among key organizations, among program models , and among �differing perspectives cooperate effectively the field as a whole? coherent promotional Looking about youth service? Can we agree upon and in implementing common growth strategies for Can we agree upon and cooperate around a message? Ahead None of the above IS meant to constrain our discussions or to keep us focused on problems instead of solutions. These are only some of the issues and challenges we face together identified in interviews. Our hope is that this interview material will help us begin to critically examine the obstacles and challenges we face during a new period of growth and imaginatively plan for the future. Our immediate task at this meeting, around which the discussions will be structured, is to stand back and take a broad overview of the field so that we can use our experience to identify key leverage points for moving the field ahead, to translate agreed upon major leverage points into tangible collaborative projects, and make some rough estimates about what the projects might cost. This is a valuable opportunity to get beyond our daily work and think big about youth service, and think in terms of the future. We look forward to stimulating and spirited discussions over the course of the day and a half, and to fresh partnerships that will build upon the many achievements of the past few years. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

From this grant, the State Board of Education is pleased to announce the 1992-93 SERVE-MICHIGAN GRANT PROGRAM. Grants totaling $585,338 will be awarded to local applicants by the State Board of Education for the development of school-baaed service-learning programs, community-based service programs, and adult volunteer and partnership programs. Instructions and an application form for participation in the 1992-93 SERVEMICHIGAN GRANT PROGRAM are provided in these material&, as followa: PART PART PART PART I II III IV - GENERAL INFORMATION REVIEW CRITERIA APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS APPLICATION FORM (FORM IM-02-55) BACKGROUND Community service is a vital component of a complete education program. It provides increased and varied learning opportunities for students, many of whom need the added motivation, presence of positive role models, and boost in self-esteem available through community service experiences. The SERVE-Michigan Program provides an opportunity to strengthen and link together several successful statewide initiatives, such as student leadership training, school volunteerism, partnerships for education, core curriculum, and student portfolios, with the State's overall strategies for educational reform and equity for all students. Most of all, the SERVE-Michigan Program will help Michigan value ita greatest resource, ita young people. The Challenges Michigan ranks 8th in population, but 4th in the number of Aid to Families with Dependent Children recipients, 5th in the number of violent crimes per 100,000, 7th in the number of murders per 100,000, and only 28th in high school graduation rates. At 29.4 percent, youth remain a major part of Michigan•• population, not only in quantity but in the number living in poverty, at risk of dropping out of school, facing crime in the streets, and auffering from unemployment. Difficulties in all these areas are dramatically higher in the state's major urban areas. Government, education, business, labor, and community-baaed organizations, working alone, cannot remedy the challenges facing the state. Working together, and involving parents, students, and other citizens, Michigan can build the "communities of learning" necessary for all youth to succeed. 1 �GRART PURPOSB The SERVE-Michigan Program is a comprehensive effort developed to encourage cooperative efforts among school districts, local government agencies, community-baaed organizations, businesses, and volunteers to assist youth and provide community service-learning opportunities for in-school and out-ofschool youth. It is targeted to combat Michigan's 26 percent dropout rate, help the state's 1,573,646 public school children and 177,876 nonpublic school children stay in school and gain the skills and attitudes they need to become productive citizens, and reach current dropouts and out-of-school youth through age 26 to offer them another chance to rejoin the mainstream. The program is designed to encourage youth to develop personal and social responsibility through the application of classroom skills in real-life situations, increased student leadership opportunities, more positive working relationships with adults and others, and greater exploration of career opportunities. S~IDB BBRBPITS The SERVE-Michigan Program is expected to: (1) help Michigan value ita greatest resource, ita young people; (2) instill civic awareness and build community service habits among students; (3) encourage students to continue their education and become better prepared members of the future workforce; (4) encourage students to assume more active leadership roles within the student body; (S) enable schools to develop more linkages with the community to help all youth succeed; (6) increase the number of adults who volunteer in schools; and (7) increase public support for education as a life-long endeavor for all learners.

When I began my year as a YES Ambassador, it was with much anticipation and I will admit some trepidation- both myself and the Commission were new and heading, some would say;into uncharted territory. I am happy to report that my fears were misplaced - the last twelve months have been an incredible learning experience, both on a professional and personal level. As an Ambassador I was exposed to and able to work with a variety of institutions, including elementary and secondary schools, higher education institutions, foundations, community based organizations, govemmental entities, small businesses and large corporations, and the media. I was able to work with communities. small and large throughout the state. I was given the opportunity to connect local, state and national initiatives. And I would be remiss if I did not mention the largest constituency I worked with, the youth of Michigan. It is this group that continued to amaze and inspire me during my year as a YES Ambassador. I am in the process of preparing a year end report which will summarize the accomplishments of Trabian and myself. It will be forwarded to you by your October meeting. I would like, however, to share a recent conversation I had with a young woman from Battle Creek, MI, Marisela. I first met Marisela in January while speaking to Upward Bound students from Battle Creek Central High School. While talking to the group about the need to get involved and the benefits of service she asked hard questions. She wanted to know how to get more youth involved and how to get more adult support for young people. I tried to answer her questions on the spot and later to connect her to people and networks that could support her or help her in what she was trying to do for her community. Since January I have talked to Marisela a number of times via the phone. Last week I saw Marisela again. At this time she expressed how important my words were to her and how they had made a difference not only in her life, but in the lives of other young people. Marisela had taken the message she had heard and passed it on to younger students she worked with at a summer camp for children of migrant workers. 736 JALKSON PlA..E WA~n"' ·v,..., DC 2C503 ~ , 202 • 408 • 5'6L LvL • 4v • vlclf fDD l.OL • 2.B'1• 1 \Jl �Commissioners Page 2 While my final report can tell you how many young people I spoke to, how many workshops I gave, how many people I connected to resources and how many programs/projects I worked on, it cannot tell you what Marisela said to me. We live in a society today that expects immediate results, but during my year as an Ambassador it was often hard to see the "results." In March Joel Orosz shared some words with Trabian and myself, he explained to us that we were planting seeds. As I look back on my year I do feel I have planted some seeds. I have spoken to many young people who have never heard the concept of volunteerism or service advocated. I have spoken to many adults who have never heard about youth service or youth involvement. I have brought people across the state together to become resources for each other. I have sought to create leadership opportunities for young people in the youth service movement. All of this would not have been possible without the support of the Commission and I thank you for that. I would also like to thank Diana and Mary for their support. The Commission is lucky to have two such committed and hardworking individuals. They allowed me to play a vital role in the work of the Commission on a day to day basis. I have learned much from each of them and believe the next Ambassador is a lucky man to have such co-workers. I would also like to thank, our successor, Darin. I feel I am leaving those seeds that have been planted in capable hands and that they will continue to grow over the next year. As many of you may already know, I will be moving on and out of the state to take the position of Manager, Youth Service Programs at the Points of Light Foundation. I look forward to the new challenges that await me, but hope that I will still be a resource for the state. Again, I thank you for the opportunity and hope that the Commission will continue to show such support to the next Ambassador. Sincerely, Cynthia A.
