FAX Chairperson Michelle Engler Executive Director Frank Dirks S. Capitol Ave. Bldg ., 4th Floor Michigan 48909 (517) 335-4295 (5 17) 373-4977 April 28, 1995 Dear Members of Michigan's AmeriCorps: Michigan's AmeriCorps Training and Signature Service Project marks the first time that AmeriCorps members from across Michigan have gathered as one. This is such a special occasion because it represents what is best about AmeriCorps. It brings together diverse people from different communities to serve, to get things done, and to learn from each other. It teaches that each of us has an important gift to give, and that together we can renew the best in America. It is fitting that we join here in Detroit, a place that has come to symbolize the great opportunities and challenges that have formed Michigan and the country during most of this century. Every community is in some way like Detroit; proud of what it has given in the past, unsettled with its present, and uncertain but striving for a brighter future. We can never be certain of our future, but we can surely have hope. Hope is what each of you brings to AmeriCorps through the gift of your service. Hope is what you share with those you serve. Hope is what you will bring to others long after your service in AmeriCorps is done . It is you, more than AmeriCorps or any other program in which you are involved that brings hope to our communities. Thank you for giving the gift of hope.

TO: Frank Dirks Executive Director, MCSC FROM: Scott Richardson RE : 3/10 · 3/11 MCSC Meeting DATE: March 22. 1995 jwt Attached you will find my compilation of the main points discussed during the MCSC retreat of March 10 and 11 . The four main sections chronicle discussions about vision development. the position paper. the future form of the MCSC, and specific MCSC tasks. �3110195 I. Vision Development Notes are arranged by functions in the mission statement: broker. catalyst. convener. There was repetition because the group had not yet developed specific categories for task definition. A. Broker public relations for service raise program funds national initiatives prevent duplication of efforts recognition infrastructure building collaboration enlarge resource pie diversity: religion. gender. ~ES. race. age clearing house facilitator promote civic ethic disseminate research B Catalyst public relations for MCSC grass roots support program funds trainings for service learning service as part of people's life train public officials facilitator good value/return on investment rebuild civic ethic research on results of service promote and develop service learning make grants C. Convener empower more people training in civic leadership operating and program fund raising training and technical assistance no duplication infrastructure for sustainability diversity in promotion of common goals reach people where they are facilitate energetic and efficient civic ethic research and evaluation of results service learning promotion �II. Position Paper The group then read and discussed a ~hilosophical position paper produced by the staff. In an atmosphere of high praise for the draft. the group collectively edited the paper. Frank amended the text as people produced suggestions. After much discussion about audience. the group endorsed the following uses of the edited paper: o to explain MCSC's views to others in the national service field; o to describe to interested parties MCSC's placement vis-a-vis government , business. and the non-profit world; o to help MCSC members prepare public statements about its work. 3/11195 III. MCSC Future Form The group discussed staff ideas about the form of the MCSC for the future. There were five categories, about which the group discussed pros. cons, .and comments. The categories are : non-profit corporation status. administrative endowment. consolidation of all state service and volunteer programs, a physical building, and continued coordination of state service and volunteerism. A. Non-Profit Corporation Status Comments Sustainable Shrinks pie? Competition among CBOs Realistic about government funding Political interference more likely? Should the board grow and include non-voting members, perhaps with rotating terms? How many board meetings per year are needed? B. Endowment Comments Timing is best now Is window closing? Who'll manage endowment? Privatization is trendy Legislature could amend 2 years for match plan? it to death Enhances collab. Who'll lobby against? Sustainability Political insulate Will state fund programs too? �C. Consolidation Pros Cons Comments Links programs Seniors: "our programs are fine" MCSC administers but does not operate programs Invite. don't force, all to join D. Building Pros Cons Comments Ends duplication Other CBO objections? Need to study feasibility E. Maintain Volunteer Support All were strenuously in favor of this . Conclusions The staff was charged with further exploring the feasibility of transforming the MCSC into a state-sanctioned. private non-profit foundation. If political support is evident from key sectors. the staff should fervently pursue the foundation strategy. A similar mandate was presented concerning the endowment idea. The group endorsed inviting, but not forcing, senior and other groups to be administered by MCSC. The group made clear that administration is not operation. and that MCSC grant activity should primarily concern "pass through" initiatives. IV. Specific MCSC Tasks These tasks, which have to happen to bring about the visions. were divided into five areas: public relations. education and awareness. hub of wheel. infrastructure. and fund raising. A. Public Relations Define the message Identify the audiences and stakeholders Build bridges to the profit sector Add media representatives to board: example. Free Press editor Seek volunteer expert on PR to help develop strategy �B. Fund Raising Study feasibility of the endowment grant and matching proposal Each MCSC commissioner to donate Seek volunteer expert on fund raising, assign responsibility for: o developing pla~s and conducting research o raising the funds o crafting the "pitch" o coordinating a fund raising committee C. Infrastructure Study feasibility of non-profit status for MCSC Reach out to new groups Add service learning to curricular goals and standards Connect good programs. which are losing funds. toward new resources Connect with university service learning initiatives Develop systems to to promote MI initiatives. like service learning Report successes to state board of education Identify training capacity for service learning Leverage funds for model service learning programs D. Hub of Wheel Define mission and goals Define grant making function Improve grant making process with: o needs assessment o training for MCSC members o a focus on "pass through" grants Clarify relationship with "spokes": respectful oversight Do not compete with spokes Create communication network among spokes; contract out if necessary Provide logistics for clearing house function E. Evaluation Customize reports about accomplishments Synthesize impact of programs administered by MCSC Disseminate research on service learning Discuss best practices and what does not work Conduct a process evaluation of the MCSC Do cost-benefit. quantitative analysis on multiplier effect of programs. using UM and others for expertise � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Frank Dirks, Executive Director RE: 111 Olds Plaza Lansing, Tel. FAX ~ Round II MYSAM proposals DATE: May 11, 1995 As you may recall, we have recently received and review 14 grant proposal concepts for the Round II MYSAM funding period. Through, the Community Based Organization "Learn and Serve" program, we are able to fund developmental grants of $5,000 to three communities in Michigan. The purpose of these grants is to support community based organizations in developing and implemting quality service-learning programs in collaboration with K-12 schools. The review criteria for the program consisted of the following key areas: I. I I. III. IV. Quality: concept and design, incorporation of service-learning principles and practices,organizational capacity Impact: youth participant development, community needs, sustainable partnerships and collaboration in community Evaluation and Continuous Improvement.·objectives and evaluation process Sustainability: community support, financial resources, collaborative efforts The emphasis for the MYSAM program is on quality service learning programs and sustainable partnerships. Applicants were encouraged to address these two components in detail, and MCSC staff considered these areas foremost in submitting final funding recommendations. Enclosed you will find review forms for the three proposals we recommend for funding. Of the proposals received, we believe these programs met the criteria well, and represent the highest potential for creating and maintaining quality service learning programs through strong community partnerships. MCSC staff have discussed the proposal weaknesses with applicants and asked them to submit a plan which will address these areas of need. A Division of the Michigan Jobs Commission 0,-- �Michigan Community Service Commission Proposal Review Forin DATE: 3/25//95 GRANT CATEGORY: FUNDING REQUESTED: $5,000 MYSAM/C.B. LEARN AND SERVE TOTAL BUDGET: $30,500 PROPOSAL The Edison Institute in Dearborn DESCRIPTION: The Edison Institute proposal is a joint venture between Henry Ford Museum & Greenfield Village and Woodward Elementary School in Detroit. The partnership will involve at risk high school students as mentors in a joint service-learning project of high school and elementary students. The service-learning project will involve an extensive academic study of the community and its history, specifically in the area of transportation. High school students and elementary students will conduct active research in the community, and their project will culminate in an exhibit on display in the museum. This will allow for the community to benefit from the learning of the students, and students to benefit from mentoring, community service, and academic learning. The exhibit will be part of a service learning effort that communicates the work of the students to the many visitors. This project will serve as a lead-in to further integration of service-learning into the partnership and school. STRENGTHS : There is a strong academic and participant development focus in the program. The goals and objectives of the program are clear and measurable. Strong, long standing community partnerships and broad based support exist. The program will take place in the classroom, so integration into the curriculum is definite. A large number of students will be impacted. The program encourages citizenship among students. There is evidence of strong understanding and commitment to servicelearning by the organization. There is evidence of sustainability through partnerships and community support. WEAKNESSES Although the academic emphasis of the program is evident, there is not enough focus on the "service" component of the program. There is little evidence of youth involvement in planning, implementation, and decision making in the program. Clarity regarding the actual structure and application of the program is necessary. Details such as the exact number of students, timeline, and supervision need to be provided. STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS Staff recommends for full funding, contingent upon a final proposal which addresses the mentioned weaknesses. �Michigan Community Service Commission Proposal Review Form DATE : 3/25//95 GRANT CATEGORY: MYSAM/C.B. LEARN AND SERVE PROPOSAL Operation Get Down of Detroit "Future Leaders Demonstration Project" FUNDING REQUESTED: $5,000 TOTAL BUDGET: $11,500 DESCRIPTION: The purpose of this program is to provide thorough service learning and leadership opportunities for African American Youth in the Detroit Community. The program, titled "Future Leaders Demonstration Project" involves a partnership between Operation Get Down, YMCA, 4H, as well as with schools, businesses, and neighborhood organizations. Youth age 5-16 will be involved, with older student serving as mentors. Operation Get Down will run a pilot demonstration project for eight (8) weeks with 30 youth . . These youth will experience leadership and team skill training, as well as develop problem solving, critical thinking, and academic skills through researching community needs, and developing and implementing service projects in the community. Following the initial pilot project, leadership and service projects will continue throughout the school year, building upon the experience in the summer. STRENGTHS: Youth are involved in planning and implementation of the program. There is a strong emphasis on participant development for the youth involved. A strong organizational capacity and long time partnership with schools exists. Program objectives are clear and measurable. The program focuses upon "at risk" youth. There appears to be a solid understanding of and commitment to service learning by the organization. WEAKNESSES While the leadership component for participants is emphasized, more detail and focus upon service is necessary. Sustainability component is unclear, lacks detail about how community support will be generated. There needs to be more clarity about the structure, supervision, and school year integration of the program. Further definition of roles and relationship of partner organization is necessary. STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS Staff recommends full funding, contingent upon a final proposal which addresses the mentioned weaknesses. �Michigan Community Service Commission Proposal Review Form DATE: 3/25//95 GRANT CATEGORY: MYSAM/C.B. LEARN AND SERVE PROPOSAL Manistee Youth Employment Training "WalkAbout Program" FUNDING REQUESTED: $5,000 TOTALBUDGET: $12,610 DESCRIPTION: The Manistee County Youth Employment and Training Programs (YETP) is requesting a MYSAM grant to implement a pilot and integrate a community-based service-learning program during the summer and continuing into the school year, in partnership with area organizations and school districts. The program, "WalkAbout," is modeled after a national service learning program developed by the National Youth Leadership Council. The program engages students in peer and cross-aged service projects in their community while strengthening their academic, leadership, civic responsibility and school-to-work skills. Manistee will pilot the program through the summer by engaging thirty students who are "at risk" of dropping out of school, ethnically diverse, economically, and/or physically disadvantaged in the service-learning program. For high school students, focus will be upon academic, teamwork, and critical thinking skills, as well as school to work transition. Elementary students will apply academic and critical thinking skills through community service learning. Following the pilot phase, the goal is to implement the "Walkabout" program into the academic curriculum. STRENGTHS: There is strong, broad-based community representation in the planning process, including youth. There is intent to integrate the program into the school curriculum. Outcomes for the program are thorough and defined. The program targets and involves "at risk" youth. The design of the program focuses upon the critical elements of service-learning. The program has strong potential for replication in this community as well as others. There is a strong focus on participant development for the youth involved. WEAKNESSES There needs to be more definition and clarity regarding the specific design and structure of the program. A stronger focus upon the school year component and integration into the curriculum is necessary. Program needs to ensure that it is not a job training focus program, but adhere to the service learning principles. Administrative structure of the program needs strengthening. STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS Staff recommends full funding, contingent upon a final proposal which addresses the mentioned weaknesses. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

FAX Exec utive Director Frank Dirks S. Capito l Ave . Bldg ., 4th Floor Michigan 48909 (517) 335-4295 (517) 373-4977 MEMORANDUM TO: FROM: RE: Executive Director' s Report DATE: August 21 , 1995 PASSAGES On July 26, 1995, the nation lost a statesman, Michigan lost a visionary leader, and volunteerism lost its boldest advocate. George Romney left us both his vision for service and volunteerism and the difficult challenge of fulfilling it. Now is our opportunity to pick up the torch and carry on in his tradition. The next few months will test the depth of our commitment to the future of this field . For the Michigan Community Service Commission (MCSC) , this ummer was also a time of staff changes. Lamont Clegg concluded his contract for Michigan CARES in July. Michelle Walk, who ably assembled the "Profiles in Service" resource guide, was accepted as a Governor's Management Intern with the Department of Commerce. Finally , Kyle Caldwell, an MCSC stalwart whose dedication and effort made him a leader and example for all the members of our staff, and who was largely responsible for holding the office together in the transition between executive directors left in August to take a position in Van Buren County Public Schools as a photography instructor. A gifted teacher and avid shutter-bug, Kyle will be working an hour closer to his family and new-born baby boy. In other staff adjustments, Lindy Reurink has agreed to accept the de facto duties of assistant director, in order to free me up for more outreach work. Paula Kaiser has taken over as program coordinator for Michigan' AmeriCorps. While Melany Bennett has assumed responsibilities for coordinating printing/publishing and special projects. A Division of the Michigan Jobs Commission �Michigan Community Service Commission August 21, 1995 Page Two UPDATES AmeriCorps In late July, the Corporation for National Service (CNS) notified us that our second-year AmeriCorps formula grant award would be $2,446,900. While less than originally appropriated, this amount enables us to bring on board two new programs and convert the American Youth Foundation (A YF) planning grant to an operational program. The two new formula grantees are the Marquette County Health Department and Project Save in Detroit. In addition, we were awarded a new competitive program: United Way Community Services. While the final program award amounts are still up for negotiation, we are very pleased that we were able to support programs in the regions that we planned to emphasize in the second year. CNS gave our current programs a "B" average, although in some cases CNS recommended against any program expansion. Our AmeriCorps contract with Michigan State University (MSU) has run into a snag for reasons that are unrelated to the program itself. The state has developed new indemnification language for all contracts that has raised concerns at MSU. The MSU contract has become caught in the crossfire of divergent institutional interests. While this issue may affect our future contracts, it is much larger than MCSC and its programs. We will have to wait and see. Quest International Quest conducted three intensive two-day teacher trainings in August. More than seventy educators and community agency staff, selected by MCSC from Learn and Serve (MYSAM) communities, participated. The participant evaluations indicated that the trainings were very worthwhile. Michigan CARES We submitted a renewal proposal to the Kellogg Foundation in June. We are currently modifying the proposal in response to comments from our program officer. We continue to be optimistic that CARES funding will continue. The preliminary reports from the evaluators have been very encouraging. In just one CARES project this summer, fifty young people and community members in Southwest Detroit removed more than 100 tons of debris from 3/4 of a mile of a city street. The community generated more than $10,000 of in-kind donations to complete the project. Learn and Serve CMYSAM) In July we were notified by CNS that our second year Learn and Serve award would be $168,000. We are currently in the process of reviewing renewal applications from all first-year grantees. Publications We published the "Profiles in Service" Resource Guide. We will distribute copies through the staff advisory council and Michigan's public libraries. �Michigan Community Service Commission August 21, 1995 Page Three PROGRESS REPORT ON SECOND YEAR OBJECTIVES In the State Plan that we submitted to CNS we enumerated our annual objectives. This summary reflects our year-to-date accomplishments. In partnership with the Staff Advisory Committee and drawing on the results of the Year One inventory, identify, evaluate, and document model Kindergarten-Retiree service and volunteer programs and practitioners. As a follow -up to the "Profiles in Service" resource guide, MCSC is working with the Advisory Committee to develop model community volunteer collaboration initiatives. In cooperation with the Michigan Youth Progressive Action Council (MYPAC )and the Michigan Nonprofit Forum, develop a state recruitment campaign for AmeriCorps and youth service volunteers. Coordinating the dissemination of the Youth Volunteer poster with the Michigan Department of Education (MDE), MCSC program grantees, and the Volunteer Centers of Michigan in conjunction with the Points of Light Foundation's national "Make a Difference Day". MCSC will work with these groups to promote service and volunteer activities throughout the year. MCSC mailed 2,000 post cards to individuals interested in becoming involved in AmeriCorps. Respondents will be sent an application, which, when returned, will forwarded to Michigan's AmeriCorps programs. Facilitate the development of at least two quality AmeriCorps proposals from neighborhood and community-based organizations. Through TAP-Youth Service, MCSC' s partner, the Catholic Youth Organization of Metropolitan Detroit is providing intensive technical assistance and training workshops to neighborhood and community-based nonprofits in topics necessary for any successful AmeriCorps applicant. Develop, with private sector support, an MCSC state service newsletter. MCSC has already published two newsletters with support from its CNS administrative grant. The third edition is scheduled for distribution in October. MCSC will begin a plan to develop private sector support this year. Establish a Task Force on intergenerational service program development. MCSC has had an RSVP "Senior Ambassador" since March. He is working to organize a senior advisory council modeled after MYP A C. Once established, the senior council and MYP AC will develop plans for intergenerational program development. �Michigan Community Service Commission August 21, 1995 Page Four Establish a Task Force on developing model national and community service programs that link Community Action Programs, Area Agencies on Aging, Headstart, school-readiness, and schoolto-work transition. This Fall, MCSC will begin working with the Volunteer Centers of Michigan, the CNS Detroit office, the Department of Social Services, and the state Office on Aging to organize regional meeting of the their respective program contacts in order to facilitate greater communication and collaboration. Produce and disseminate, with private sector support, MCSC posters for recruiting school-age youth to participate in service and volunteer activities. MCSC will disseminate the posters to all public schools and volunteer centers in September. Double the number of citizen respondents to the Community Service Awards Program and create a category for model community service partnerships. MCSC will use an improved data base for mailing award program nomination forms. MCSC will also distribute Public Service Announcements for the awards. Identify the five strongest Michigan CARES communities to be Lab Communities for promoting continued community generated private sector support. MCSC will anchor its regional collaboration meetings on CARES communities. The level of CARES community participation will depend on continuation funding. Based on practitioner critique, revise the state AmeriCorps training and technical assistance. MCSC has already revised the framework for AmeriCorps training. In August, MCSC brought new and renewal program staff together for a two-day training led by a founding member of the City Year program staff. Integrate state peer technical assistance consultants into AmeriCorps training and program development. MCSC has identified leaders among first year programs to serve as peer technical assistance providers. MCSC' s training plan calls for these peer T A providers to play a more central role in the second year. In partnership with MDE leverage at least one school/community partnership by targeting School and Community-Based Learn and Service grants. MCSC's Quest International and its summer phase Learn and Serve grants have been based on the goal of forging school-community partnerships. With second year funding, MCSC will assess the viability of the current partnerships. �Michigan Community Service Commission August 21, 1995 Page Five Integrate AmeriCorps peer technical assistance consultants into Michigan Service-Learning Leadership Council and revise common training elements as needed. MCSC and the Council have established a common definition for service-learning. AmeriCorps program staff are currently members of the Council. Develop partnerships among community service youth action councils and local government youth councils in select communities. The results from the Youth Action Forums, scheduled to be printed by the end of the month, will serve as the basis for establishing these connections. Initiate efforts to establish MCSC as an endowed public/private authority. Long range planning continues. MCSC must set final action plans by the first of the year. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

GEoRGE W. 11 RoMNEY The Michigan Community Service Commission A Division of the Michigan Jobs Commission Printing for this was made possible through a grant from the Corporation for National Service �Dedicated to enabling all citizens, including youth, to engage in public problem-solving through service and volunteerism MCSC serves in three capacities to build stronger communities through service, volunteerism, and philanthropy: • As a CATALYST for positive community change, stimulating innovative programs that meet real community needs through service. • As a CoNVENER of diverse individuals and groups, building community through shared efforts toward common goals. • As a BROKER of ideas and resources , encouraging collaboration and entrepreneurial approaches to service and volunteer program development. MCSC believes that the foundation for the civic renewal of our communities is built through service. MCSC promotes and supports individual volunteers, service and volunteer programs, and public/private partnerships that meet important community needs. MCSC endeavors to employ the best entrepreneurial practices of the nonprofit field to support its mission. MCSC seeks out new opportunities and partnerships to support and promote sustainable, communitydriven models of service and volunteerism. MCSC serves as a facilitator and conduit between the public and nonprofit sectors. MCSC's agenda is based on a foundation of seven fundamental principles that inform all of its program and policy decisions. Service, volunteerism, and philanthropy take many shapes, but they share what is best about America - free people bound by a common purpose in support of public good. The strength of the American Republic depends on the committed service of citizen volunteers and philanthropists. Service, volunteerism, and philanthropy make a twofold contribution to democracy in America: first, they transform today's �good works into tomorrow's community good; second, they provide an environment in which citizens may practice good citizenship free from the procedural restrictions of government and the individualistic competition of the marketplace. I ( Strong communities rely on an effective balance of three primary sectors: the public (government), the private (business), and the social (nonprofit social serving organizations). Service, volunteerism, and philanthropy are the building blocks of the social capital necessary to sustain a healthy democracy. The independent or nonprofit sector, which includes service,volunteerism, and philanthropy is something better named the social sector. As the public and private sectors work in some combination to develop economic and physical capital, the social sector works to generate social capital. Internationally respected management consultant Peter Drucker has argued that the social sector will play an increasingly more prominent role in the new American high technology society. The social sector will carry greater responsibilities in directly meeting social needs as government downsizes and society moves to decentralized business and industry models. Accordingly, the social sector must transform itself into an organized and equal contributor to social policy-making. In a recent paper, Harvard University Professor, Robert Putnam affirmed the opinions of social observers since Alexis de Tocqueville. He found that voluntary networks, associations, and organizations reinforce the formal civic and governmental institutions of democracy. The standards and norms that are formed through these self-regulating voluntary associations support the practices that are necessary for self-government. Social capital is the amalgam of voluntary social associations, practices, and standards that strengthen democratic communities. Social capital is generated by the voluntary associations and shared social standards of people who volunteer and commit to serve more than just themselves. Without social capital, communities suffer because they lack mechanisms for people to work together voluntarily for the good of the whole. Service and volunteerism are essential ingredients of social capital. r I �Government and business should continue to work in partnership with social sector to support citizen problemsolving through service and volunteerism Healthy communities are vital to ensuring strong government and productive business. Government and business should invest in the formation of the social capital in order to assist the social sector in achieving its objectives. Government should serve in this effort in much the manner it was intended; as a forum and catalyst for the private and social sectors to collaborate in the development of strong communities. All sectors must view their roles in a new light: as enablers of citizen driven solutions, not as the source of professionally provided solutions. In recent years, the public and private partnerships have recognized the importance of the social sector. New public-private partnerships have been created to enhance efforts to promote service and volunteerism. Government and business have made important contributions to the organization and strength of the social sector. At the national level, the initiatives of two successive presidents have illustrated bipartisan support for the social sector. First, George Bush's Points of Light Foundation and now Bill Clinton's AmeriCorps represent similarly conceived public-private partnerships in support of service and volunteerism. Service, volunteerism, and philanphropy are not bipartisan ideas, they are nonpartisan ideas. If government is to promote and support volunteer citizen problem-solving through service as an alternative to government run solutions, then government must respect and hold in the same esteem the principle of non partisanship that is central and essential to the success of the volunteer, and social sector. Volunteerism is a public investment in communities and citizens, and as such, it is not free. Volunteer development is an essential element of social capital formation. Volunteers do not come free. They require an investment. If a community of volunteers makes for a healthy community, then it is a worthy public investment. The overwhelming majority of citizens who volunteer in their retirement report that they have done so because of a volunteer experience in their youth. Yet the majority of youth say that if they do not volunteer it is because they are not asked. If we do not invest in efforts to support and promote service and volunteerism now, we will not be able to count on these same individuals to volunteer later in life when they have more disposable time to volunteer. �The costs of volunteerism must not be overlooked. In order to get volunteers to the point of effectively meeting a social need many things come into play. They must be recruited, trained, transported, and in some cases fed. Their times of service must be coordinated, their activities supervised, and in some cases, when they commit their full time to the effort, they must be reimbursed for their commitment in order to live. Like all things of value, volunteerism does not come without a commitment of effort and resources. Civic renewal through service and volunteerism draws its strength from, and celebrates the diversity of the community. No individual or group should be overlooked in reconnecting citizens to their communities through the social sector. Too often in the past, certain groups have been left out. The spirit of volunteerism holds that every citizen is a resource. In order to reverse the trend of apathy and alienation, communities can no longer afford to leave any resource untapped. Citizens of all ages, and all socio-economic backgrounds must be involved in building communities through service.

Box 30015 Lansing, MI 48909 Mr. Terry Pruitt Vice Chair, Michigan Community Service Commission 1469 Allendale Drive Saginaw, MI 48630 Dear Michelle and Terry: I have now had the opportunity to read Terry Langston ' s letter to you of June 6, and I wanted to let you know that I completely agree with his suggestion that the Michigan Community Service Commission should " make its case" on the importance of national service. It seems increasingly likely that the Corporation for National Service will be targeted for destruction by the new congress in 1996, and I agree with Terry that it would be a terrible shame ifthis were to happen . W.K.KELLOGG FOUNDATION One Michigan Avenue East Battle Creek, Ml 49017-4058 USA 616-968-1611 TDD on site Telex: 4953028 Facsimile 616-968-0413 To help people help themselves through the practical ap lication of knowledge ources to 1mprove .r quality of life and that of future generations It seems quite clear that President Clinton made a serious tactical mistake in identifying national service in this country so closely with his own administration. As a result, the main motivator for those who want to de-fund the Corporation seems to be "getting even" with Bill Clinton, rather than any substantive difficulty with the Corporation itself Indeed, one member of congress was quoted as saying that it was " pay-back time" by way of explaining his plans to vote against the Corporation's renewal next year. Further proof that national service is in the cross hairs because of the Clinton connection can be found in the fact that the Points of Light Foundation, a creation of President Bush, is also on the chopping block of some Republicans. My position on all of this is that national service should be judged upon its merits. If we look at the Corporation ' s achievements impartially, and ifthey do not justify their costs, then I will be the first to suggest that the Corporation should go. If they do justify their costs, the Corporation should stay, and possibly receive increased governmental support. But it would be a terrible shame if the decision was driven solely by partisan politics. More than that, it would be a betrayal of thousands of young people who have signed on to AmeriCorps, done enormous good for their communities, only to become the innocent victims of the political equivalent of a drive-by shooting. �Page 2 I enthusiastically second Terry's notion oftargeting the Michigan congressional delegation for an educational pitch from MCSC on the importance ofthe Points of Light Foundation and the Corporation for National Service. We will all suffer in Michigan if these two organizations are de-funded by the federal government, but our young people will suffer most of all, and I think it is important that our delegation knows this. If you agree, I would like to volunteer to be helpful in moving this process forward . I look forward to a discussion ofTerry' s ideas. Best regards, Joel J.

Capitol Ave . Bldg ., 4th Floor Michigan 48913 (517) 335-4295 (517) 373-4977 The Honorable Spencer Abraham United States Senate Washington, D.C. 20510 Dear Senator Abraham: With the passing of former Governor George Romney, Michigan and the country have lost a great leader and tireless advocate for service and volunteerism. Governor Romney never stopped in his crusade. For him, "people helping people" was a serious approach to solving our mounting social problems that deserved public recognition and support. In his last days he was working to restore the bi-partisan support that had been the hallmark of national service. For the last five years I had the privilege of working with Governor Romney on efforts to support service and volunteerism in Michigan. Since 1991 , I have chaired the Michigan Community Service Commission. Governor Engler and I both believe deeply that government can play an important role in supporting community service and volunteerism as a convener, catalyst, and broker. Our efforts with the nonprofit and philanthropic sectors in Michigan have reinforced this belief. Last year, with the overwhelming bi-partisan support of the legislature, we saw the Commission established in statute. Over the last few months Governor Romney and I shared the concern that the binding spirit of national service and volunteerism has become lost. In April, we co-authored an article that appeared in the Detroit News (enclosed) that argued that service and volunteerism are not free. At the same time Governor Romney and I shared concerns about AmeriCorps and the agency that operates it, the Corporation for National Service. There are areas that need improvement, in particular the pqliticization and the direct federal administration of programs. We held similar opinions on how to make improvements. Yet with that in mind, national service is too important for volunteerism and our communities to reject out-of-hand. We must not overlook the value of this program as we consider its weaknesses. I want to share with you testimony on the AmeriCorps National Service program that I submitted to Chairman Shays and House Government Reform and Oversight Subcommittee on Human Resources and Intergovernmental Operations. In it I offer my assessment of the program and make specific recommendations for improvement. A Division of the Michigan Jobs Commission 0,-- �• The Honorable Spence Abraham Page 2 September 5, 1995 Governor Romney was, as always, optimistic about the future of national service and volunteerism. I am working in Michigan and elsewhere to see that his vision lives on. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact me or the staff at the Michigan Community Service Commission at (517) 335-4295. With best regards, Michelle Engler �TESTIMONY OF MICHELLE ENGLER CHAIR, MICillGAN COMMUNITY SERVICE COMMISSION FIRST LADY OF MICIDGAN BEFORE THE HOUSE GOVERNMENT REFORM AND OVERSIGHT SUBCOMMITTEE ON HUMAN RESOURCES AND INTERGOVERNMENTAL OPERATIONS MAY 18, 1995 �Mr. Chairman and Members of the Subcommittee, thank you for the opportunity to submit this testimony on what national and community service has meant to Michigan--our communities and our citizens. I hope that my text will provide you with three things to consider: first, what one state has been able to do to support service and volunteerism; second, how these activities relate to AmeriCorps and the other national and community service programs supported by the Corporation for National Service; and third, why we believe that service and volunteerism are so important to the health and future strength of communities. What One State Has Done The Michigan Community Service Commission was created by executive order in 1991 out of an idea that Governor John Engler and I had that we needed to find more effective ways to promote and support service and volunteerism in Michigan. Our efforts coincided with President George Bush's call to service through the Points of Light Foundation, the National and Community Service Act of 1990, and his words that, "No longer can the definition of a successful life not include service to the community." The Commission was designated as the state's lead agency for administering programs under the 1990 Act, the predecessor to the National Service Trust Act of 1993. Our activities, which received state support but always benefitted from important federal support, encompassed more than the administration of federally funded national and community service programs. Our mission is to enable all citizens, including youth, to engage in public problemsolving through service and volunteerism. The principle that guides our efforts at the Commission is that National and Community Service, Volunteerism, and Philanthropy are not bi-partisan ideas, they are non-partisan ideas. We believe that if we are serious about promoting and supporting the nonprofit sector as a more effective and efficient alternative to public sector-run programs, then government must respect and hold in the same esteem the principle of non-partisanship that is central and essential to the success of the nonprofit voluntary, and philanthropic sector. From the start, the Governor and I have been committed to ensuring that the operation and the public perception of the Michigan Community Service Commission are strictly non-partisan. The value and success of this commitment was demonstrated last summer when the Legislature established the Commission in law with overwhelming bi-partisan support--- passing the House 105-2 and the Senate 30-2. The Michigan Community Service Commission serves in three general capacities: as a catalyst for positive community change, stimulating innovative programs that meet real community needs through service, as a convener of diverse individuals and groups, building community through shared efforts and common goals, and as a broker of ideas and resources, encouraging · collaboration and entrepreneurial approaches to service and volunteer program development. Through these capacities, we serve as a facilitator and conduit between the public and nonprofit sectors. The Michigan Community Service Commission has established six priorities: 1) building programs and expanding resources based on local community needs and interests, 2) enabling youth and community volunteers to be a part of the design and development of programs and policies, 3) promoting successful volunteer and service programs that represent the diversity of communities, 4) encouraging strong partnerships among public, private, and nonprofit agencies, 5) developing a state-wide information clearinghouse on programs and training in the best practices of volunteerism, service, and service-learning, and 6) enhancing service and volunteerism through rewards, incentives, and recognition. 1 �Michigan, with i~s rich vo!m~tee~ ~dition, has as resident re~ources many nationally recognized nonprofit and philanthropic mstitutwns and leaders. These mclude theW. K. Kellogg Foundation, the Charles Stewart Mott Foundation, the Council of Michigan Foundations, the Michigan Nonpro~t F?ru~ (our state's equivalent to th~ Independent Sector), the United Way of Michigan, and the msprratwnalleader of much of f:be natiOnal volunteer movement in the last thirty years, former Governor, George Romney. With the help of these leaders, our Commission has tried to keep its focus on the whole picture. For us this means that we promote and support individual volunteers, service and volunteer programs, and public/private partnerships that meet important community needs. We try to employ the best entrepreneurial practices of the nonprofit field to support our mission. We consistently seek out new opportunities and partnerships to support and promote sustainable, community-driven models of service and volunteerism. Here are just a few examples of our most recent activities. We have been partners in the Michigan Volunteer Center Networks' Campaign for V olunteerism. We convene a regular meeting of state and nonprofit agencies to support information sharing. We promote collaboration, not just, as is too often the case in government, among public agencies, but among public and nonprofit agencies. We support a state-wide youth leadership council that helps provide us with a reality check as we consider programs and activities that affect youth. With private sector support we administer the Governor's Community Service Awards Program and a youth volunteer recruitment campaign. We have been fortunate enough to have received two foundation grants to help us support collaboration and organizational development among community-based nonprofit organizations. We work closely with the Michigan Nonprofit Forum to coordinate activities, reduce needless duplication of services, and collaboratively assist communities increase their capacity for service and volunteerism. In partnership with the Nonprofit Forum and Governor Romney, we are currently in the early stages of planning a series of state strategic planning meetings on the changing relationships among the public, private, and nonprofit sectors in response to corporate and government reengineering. How Our Activities Relate to National Service and AmeriComs Without the funding support of the Corporation for National Service and its predecessor, the Commission on National and Community Service, we would not have been able to do as much as we have to support of service and volunteerism. One thing our experience has shown us in the last few years is that we can help the nonprofit sector by being strategic broker and capital investor. National and community service programs, including AmeriCorps, play an important role in building capacity for service and volunteerism in Michigan. National and community service builds Social Capital by providing volunteer support to the kinds of Nonprofit Sector institutions that must grow stronger if government is to successfully define a more limited social serving role for itself. National and community service is part of a continuum that ranges from traditional part-time volunteers to full-time stipended volunteers. AmeriCorps and other national service programs serve as excellent devices for building the capacity of communities to define and meet local needs through service and volunteerism. AmeriCorps provides an opportunity for states and communities to invest in new community partnerships that hold the best chance of building in local communities sustainable means for improved community problemsolving through service and volunteerism. Government is clearly not the only answer to the problems facing our communities and citizens. However, government can work in a partnership with the Social and Private Sectors, through programs like AmeriCorps, to enable citizens to find their own solutions. Government should serve as a resource for helping communities learn from the successes of others. An American, on average, volunteers three-four hours a week. Since this figure is an average, it does not reflect the 2 �irregularity of weekly volunteer service. And how many people do you know who have the time to give that many hours every week, fifty-two weeks a year? It takes one full-time volunteer service provider to do what ten average volunteers can in the same period of time. A full-time service provider may not only provide direct service, s/he may also recruit, coordinate, and supervise the work of limited-time volunteers. A full-time volunteer service provider, like an AmeriCorps member, will be able to maximize the impact of four hours of service of the limited-time volunteer. Michigan's AmeriCorps represents the programs administered by the Michigan Community Service Commission. Operating through local partnerships involving more than 100 community non-profit and social service agencies, Michigan' s AmeriCorps currently operates in eight communities: Detroit, Grand Rapids, Flint, Saginaw, Ypsilanti, Lansing, Shelby, and Pontiac. This year, Michigan's AmeriCorps, which receives $2.3 million from the Corporation for National Service, will involve 271 full- and part-time volunteers who will provide 325,000 hours of direct service and generate more than 1,500 new non-stipended volunteers. This is the kind of public/private investment that can build a future rich with volunteers. Why Service and Volunteerism Deserve Public Support Governor George Romney and I wrote in a recent article that there is "no free lunch when it comes to volunteerism ... The volunteer tradition is not something we should take for granted. Like all important traditions, it requires practice and commitment. Volunteerism doesn'tjust happen, we must make it happen. Volunteerism is just not a nice thing, it is a serious thing that can address the serious problems facing our communities. Policy-makers from across the political spectrum should start taking this resource seriously. The Left must recognize that in light of the limits of government-run solutions the work of volunteers provides an important alternative. The Right must stop lauding the virtues of volunteerism without recognizing that volunteers require support and resources from both the public and private sectors." In a recent paper, Harvard University Professor, Robert Putnam affirmed the opinions of social observers in America since Alexis de Tocqueville. He found that voluntary networks, associations, and organizations reinforce the formal civic and governmental institutions of democracy. The standards and norms that are formed through these self-regulating voluntary associations, a kind of Social Capital, support the practices that are necessary for self-government. Social Capital is generated by the voluntary associations and shared social standards of people who volunteer and commit to serve more than just themselves. Without Social Capital communities suffer because they lack the mechanisms for people to work together voluntarily for the good of the whole. Service and volunteerism are essential ingredients of Social Capital. The Independent or Nonprofit Sector, which includes service, volunteerism, and philanthropy is something better named the Social Sector. As the Public and Private Sectors work in some combination to develop economic and physical capital, the Social Sector works to generate Social Capital. Internationally respected management consultant Peter Drucker has argued that the Social Sector will play an increasingly more prominent role in the new American high technology society. The Social Sector will carry greater responsibilities in directly meeting social needs as government downsizes and society moves to de-centralized business and industry models. Accordingly, the Social Sector must transform itself into an organized and equal contributor to social policy-making. Healthy communities are vital to ensuring strong government and productive business, therefore government and business share an interest in investing in the formation of the Social Capital. Government should contribute to this effort as a forum and catalyst for the Private and Social 3 �Sectors to collaborate in the development of strong communities. All sectors must view their roles in a new light: as enablers of citizen driven solutions, not as the source of professionally provided solutions. Volunteer development is an essential element of Social Capital formation. Volunteers do not come free. They require an investment. If a community of volunteers makes for a healthy community, then it is a worthy public investment. The overwhelming majority of citizens who volunteer in their retirement report that they have done so because of a volunteer experience in their youth. Yet the majority of youth say that if they do not volunteer it is because they are not asked. If we do not invest in efforts to support and promote service and volunteerism now, we will not be able to count on these same individuals to volunteer later in life when they have more disposable time to do so. The costs of volunteerism must not be overlooked. In order to get volunteers to the point of effectively meeting a social need many things come into play. They must be recruited, trained, transported, and in some cases fed. Their times of service must be coordinated, their activities supervised, and in some cases, when they commit their full-time to the effort, they must be stipended for their commitment in order to live. Like all things of value, volunteerism does not come without a commitment of effort and resources. However, I do believe there are ways to improve the National Service model. First, state commissions should administer a greater share of Corporation for National Service (CNS) funds that go to the states. Currently, the Corporation directly administers National Direct AmeriCorps grants, VISTA programs, and Senior Service programs. If state commissions were given grantmaking and administrative responsibility for these programs it would ensure that they would be used to broker greater coordination among state and local nonprofit and volunteer agencies consistent with state priorities. Second, the CNS administrative structure should be reconsidered. The Corporation is the product of a merger of the ACTION Agency and Commission on National and Community Service. While the old Commission followed a decentralized model that depended on state administration and coordination, the ACTION Agency maintained a centralized, hierarchial structure of federal and regional offices for program administration. In the merger, CNS retained both structures, so there are CNS state offices (the late ACTION offices) as well as state commissions operating parallel programs. Greater efficiencies may be achieved if CNS streamlines its administrative structure and, building on its strength, adopts a completely state and locally driven model. Third, more efforts should be made to assure all parties that CNS and National and Community Service are non-partisan endeavors. The Corporation for National Service Board should make fmal decisions on funding grant proposals. It should also hire the Chief Executive Officer to ensure that the perception of partisanship does not enter into the appointment process. Government should rely on a decentralized nonprofit-driven service delivery system, but also continue to share the burden of support. AmeriCorps represents an important experiment that deserves a chance to prove itself. Congress gave AmeriCorps three years to demonstrate its potential. If National Service succeeds in meeting its ambitious goals, it may help facilitate the transfer of services to more decentralized non-profit models. If it does not succeed, then we can look to something else. Yet, whatever the outcomes, I can assure you that along the way National Service will have helped Michigan's communities become stronger, more self-sufficient, and charged with a renewed sense of voluntary spirit. 4 � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
