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

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

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

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

Fundine Recommendations for 1993-94 CNCS erants: A. K-12- Diana Algra Diana Algra presented on behalf of Elaine Gordon the recommendations for our K-12 1993-94 grantees. This years RFP's generated 174 applications. After careful review by panel members fifty-eight (58) proposals are being recommended for funding. Twenty-five (25) are continuation grants from year one. These fiftyeight proposal total $592,057. The fifty-eight proposals break down into the following categories: 5 Statewide Planning and Capacity Building; 33 School Based Service Learning Programs; 9 Community Based Service Programs; 11 Adult Volunteer and Partnership Programs. B. Higher Education - Julie Busch Julie Busch presented the following recommendations regarding Higher Education Generation grants. The RFP's generated thirty-seven proposals with twenty-five being new and twelve being continuation. The proposal review committee recommended that eleven continuation grants and fourteen new grants be approved for funding. These twenty-five proposals total $191,920. C. Corps - Diana Algra Diana Algra reported on the Corps proposals. Youth Volunteer Coms During the first funding cycle (1/1993-9/1993), the Michigan Community Service Commission provided funding to eight programs. Five were new initiatives and three had been in operation 1 to 2 yean before. Our recommendation to the Commission is that we provide continuation funding to seven of the eight we funded last cycle. One of our agencies lost their funding in mid-year due to questions regarding their financial stability (Wayne Metro). United Community Services stepped in to pick up the void left when Wayne Metro closed its doors. 2 �New Youth volunteer Corps Models Reguestini' Fundini' During our first request for proposal cycle for 1992-93, both Flint and Grand Rapids were sent availability of funds applications. Both decided not to pursue them at that time. We promised to maintain them on our data base for 1993-94 cycle. Both agencies decided to submit applications this cycle. Our funding camp to each was$10,000. Full-time Urban Corps During our first funding cycle, the Michigan Community Service Commission provided funds to two communities; Flint and Grand Rapids. The Flint Youth Service Corps was a full-time corps already in operation. During its funding year it had 66 participants involved at various levels. Fifteen (15) participants completed their GED, nineteen (19) were placed in unsubsidized employment and six (6) continued their training in post-secondary education or skills trades. Unfortunately, due to reductions from their local JTPA, the program had to temporarily cease its program until additional funds could be secured. Their request is for a total of $58,895. This would be $28,295 of unexpended 92-93 funding and $30,600 of 93-94 funding. This funding level will pe~t the Flint Youth Service Corps to provide a corps opportunity for thirty-seven (37) youth. Total program cost is $290,184. Other funders are the City of Flint CDBG, JTPA and a grant from the Citizens Bank LOEB Trust. We are currently awaiting for Grand Rapids second year grant proposal. Our year one funding permitted the Grand Rapids community to establish a community-wide steering committee to explore the feasibility and support for a full-time urban corps that would be modeled after "City Year" in Boston. Turn over in the Program Director position delayed the start up of the project's planning grant. They have expressed a need for an additional year of funding that would permit them to finalize their community planning, establish and secure a fund development base and implement a summer pilot program. We anticipate their request to be no more than $30,000. A motion was made and seconded to approve the recommended proposals. All those in attendance voted in the affirmative. 3 �VII.

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

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

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

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

Members of the Commission are asked to declare actual or potential conflict of interest situations at the start of each meeting where the agenda indicates such a conflict will occur. If a conflict of interest situation develops during Commission discussion, the Commissioner with the conflict is expected to notify the Chairperson. A conflict of interest is defined as a situation where a member of the Commission or their wife, husband, son, daughter, mother, father, brother, brother-in-law, stepbrother, sister, sister-in-law, stepsister, daughter-in-law, mother-in-law, father-in-law, son-in-law, aunt, uncle, niece, nephew, grandparents, step parent, stepchild, or grandchild is serving or has served in the last year as a trustee, officer, director, employee or volunteer in an entity which is requesting approval of a grant from the Michigan Community Service Commission or any other family or professional relationship which a Commissioner at his/her own discretion deems a conflict of interest. 2. Any members of the Commission with a conflict will be called on by the Chairperson to explain the conflict. The Commission member will then be excused by the Chairperson while other members of the Commission discuss the application and vote its acceptance or denial as well as other grant applications under the same program. Following action on the grant request, the Commissioner may return to the Commission work. 3. Michigan Community Service Commission members who are unsure about a conflict of interest situation should discuss their concerns with the Chairperson prior to the meeting where the conflict might occur. 4. If this restriction creates a situation in which the Commission does not have enough-eligible voting members to achieve a quorum, the Commission may involve the normally excluded member subject to the following conditions: a) The Chairperson will randomly and in a non-discretionary manner select the number of recused members to achieve a quorum; �b) Notwithstanding the above, no Commission member may, under any circumstances, participate in any discussions or decisions regarding a grant application submitted by an organization which he/she is or was affiliated according to the definition above; c) If recused members are included so as to achieve a quorum, the Commission must document the event and report it to the Corporation within 30 days of the vote. 5. In addition, Commission members are restricted from assisting organizations of which they are a trustee, director, officer, employee, or volunteer in preparing a grant application to the Commission or from providing oversight, evaluation, continuation, suspension or termination of any grant award to that organization. In general, the Michigan Community Service Commission wants to err on the side of too stringently enforcing conflict of interest policies in order to assure that both the fact and the perception of any unethical conduct is avoided. I, the undersigned agree to adhere to the above policy and procedure.

Objectives. Needs and • Demo~:raphjcs Goals apd Objectiyes Prior to the passage of the National and Community Service Trust Act of 1993, the Michigan Community Service Commission (MCSC) was clear in its mission to promote community service as a way of life for all citizens regardless of age, race, creed, religion, disability, or socioeconomic status. Our existing mission statement: "The mission of the Michigan Community Service Commission is to encourage community service and volunteerism as a means of community and state problem solving, and to promote and support voluntary involvement in government and private programs throughout the state." We believe this is a worthy mission and one that should continue to be promoted in the state. This all inclusive philosophy has been echoed in the language of the National and Community Service Trust Act of 1993. It is essential that Michigan continue to embrace the philosophical and visionary intent of the Act. Governor Engler in his 1994 State of the State Message outlined the four cornerstones needed to strengthen the foundation to attain his goal that all our families, and resultingly our communities, will be strong --- good jobs so families can support themselves and achieve their dreams; great schools so our children can learn the skills they need to work and succeed in the 21st century; safe homes, neighborhoods, and schools, so our families and our children can be free from crime and the fear of violence; and a better quality of life, so every family can have quality health care and live in a clean environment. For three years the Governor has been taking bold action to set these cornerstones firmly in place. Our challenge is to continue building upon this solid foundation. The initiatives undertaken through the efforts of our citizens to give of themselves to others through critically needed community service will assure that continuing progress is made to achieve 1 �our vision. To accomplish this, the following goals have been established, as indicated in our State Plan, to impact our citizens, communities, and institutions: GOAL 1: CITIZEN IMPACT: Involve More People in Service Encourage and enable persons from all walks of life and from all age groups to participate in constructive volunteer services. Service by citizens should be viewed as a rich resource in the rebuilding of our communities. We must reach out to and include all segments of the population to benefit the community for many years to come. We will strive to instill an ethic of citizenship- responsibility to the communityin our individuals, communities, and the state at large. We need to provide tools for citizens to move towards life-long service through the building of a comprehensive service continuum. We must continue to include youth as equals and team members in community collaboratives and view them as a precious resource. GOAL 2: COMMUNITY IMPACT: Build Resources Continue to create and build on existing community capacity. At the community level there is a need for increased community problem solving, greater participation from the community in local service programs and a higher level of collaboration among organizations. Community organizations must be aware of and knowledgeable about other programming efforts occurring to ensure cohesiveness of services. Service activities must continue to focus on solutions and activities which address the most critical issues affecting local communities, as identified and defined by local communities. GOAL 3: INSTITUTIONAL IMPACT: Build Networks Continue to build the existing communication and collaboration network. Communication and collaboration between public, private, and non-profit volunteer programs in the state, and between the state and the private sector's initiatives is essential to our efforts to meet the human, educational, environmental and public safety needs in 2 �Michigan. Collaboration was, and continues to be, a key element to the foundation and operation of the MCSC. The work and philosophy of the MCSC is grounded in the belief that inclusiveness and collaboration are essential to partnership-building and community buy-in and to the sustainability of high quality program initiatives. The programs and activities funded through the Learn and Serve Michigan - CB initiative will complement our other programming efforts in an integrated manner and thereby move us to fulfilling our goals. Annual objectives specific to achieving the above-mentioned goals through service-learning programming follow. OBJECTIVE I: Increase the availability of seryice-learnin&: OPPortunities and pro~:rammin~:. Year One: Four local programs will receive funding to undertake service-learning programming, and funding will be provided to an additional two sites for capacity building activities throughout the year to prepare these applicants for potential funding awards in year two. Through a competitive process (detailed later in this narrative), the following programs have been preselected for funding awards. Also noted are the agencies the local recipients will partner with in their efforts: Operatin&: Awards 1) Northern Michigan Planned Parenthood Association Partners: Third Level Services for Youth, Grand Traverse Band of Ottawa and Chippewa Indians, Northwest Michigan Health Services, Migrant Health Programs, 2) Alpena Community College Partners: Community Foundation for Northeast Michigan, City of Alpena, Rotary Club of Alpena, Tendercare Alpena, Huron Humane Society, Alpena Public Schools 3) Kalamazoo Public Education Foundation 3 �Partners: Big Brothers/Big Sisters of Kalamazoo, Boys and Girls Club of Kalamazoo, Senior Services/ RSVP, Western Michigan University, Division of Minority Affairs!MLK Program, Lee Honors College/Student Volunteer Service, Kalamazoo Public Schools 4) Planned Parenthood Centers of West Michigan Partners: Grand Rapids Housing Commission, United Methodist Community House, Neighbors of Belknap Lookout, Southeast Economic Development, Butterworth Hospital Capacity Buildine Awards 1) Great Lakes Center for Independent Living Partners: Youth Volunteer Corps of Metropolitan Detroit, Michigan Rehabilitation Services, Michigan Commission for the Blind, New Center Lions Club, Wayne County lSD, Macomb County lSD, Oakland County lSD, Detroit Public Schools 2) Creston Neighborhood Association Partners: Grand Rapids Public Schools These programs will have a positive impact on citizens, communities, and institutions. The value of community service will be instilled in all involved. Participants' leadership skills and ability to work as a part of a team will be increased. Youth will gain greater insight into cultural differences and commonalities through the diversity of the participants in the program and in the communities where service will be performed. The self-worth and personal power of the youth will be increased as they set their own goals and make a difference in the lives of others in the community. Public speaking skills will be gained. Problem solving and the ability to reflect and analyze an experience will be learned. These programs expect 640 youth will participate in their programming during the initial year, providing over 20,000 hours of service. Three of these four programs will utilize rnentoring and peer education approaches to impact on adclitional students and community members. The fourth 4 �program will use team project opportunities as their delivery strategy. Year Two: Learn and Serve Michigan - CB funding will combine with matching resources to support the involvement of 1,250 youth in service-learning as follows: Continuation fundin&: for four "year one" pro~:rams These programs will be expected to increase their participant enrollment levels by 20% and provide a 20% fmancial match to the program. Enrollment levels are expected to be approximately 750 youth. Pro~:ram operatin&: support for two "year one" capacity buildin&: sites Program operating support is planned to be awarded to the two community based organizations funded for capacity building in "year one". This support will be matched at a 20% match level. It is anticipated that these programs will serve 200 youth. Pro~:ram operatin&: support for three new pro~:rams A competitive process will be undertaken to select three new applicants for funding. This process will be the same as that taken to select "year one" program grantees. Based on the assumption that these three applicants will request the maximum grant award, it is anticipated that an additional 300 youth will be served. Capacity buildin&: ~:rant to one community As in "year one", a capacity building grant will be awarded to one community to positively impact on the community's ability to undertake programming efforts in the subsequent year. Year Three: Further expansion of the program to involve a total of 1,900 youth will occur through the following activities: Continuation fundin&: for "year one" and "year two" funded pro~:rams Nine programs will receive fmancial support for program operations, matching these funds with a 30% contribution and accommodating a 20% growth rate. These programs will provide service-learning opportunities to approximately 1,500 participants. 5 �Pro2ram operatin2 support for "year two" capacity buildiP2 site Operational funding is planned to be provided to the "year two" capacity building site. This program will target 100 participants. Pro2ram operatim: supoort for three pew pro2rams As in the prior two years, a competitive process will be undertaken to select new programs to be funded. Plans are to award funds to three community based organizations at the maximum funding level with these programs involving 300 participants. OBJECTIVE U: Create meapjp2ful volunteer seryjce opportunities Year Ope: Encourage communities to strike a balance between participant learning outcomes and meeting community needs. In concert with the Michigan Youth Progressive Action Council (a standing committee of the MCSC representing youth), identify best practice initiatives and disseminate to local entities. Convene a statewide conference to increase local citizens' knowledge, and in tum local capacity, in the undertaking of constructive service activities. Year Two: Utilizing this newly developed local capacity, develop and implement customized strategies in four communities to ensure meaningful service opportunities will be created. Individuals who participated in "year one's" capacity building effort will be expected to serve as a lead local resource in this endeavor, working with MYPAC members. Year Three: Working towards institutionalization, an additional 3-5 communities will develop and implement customized community-based strategies to ensure high quality service activities are undertaken when meeting unmet community needs. • Needs In October, 1993, the MCSC converted the Michigan Steering Committee on the National Service Trust Act of 1993. This broad-based group (see Appendix A for participating organizations) was established to assist the state commission in continually setting the future vision for the state and to 6 �aid in developing the state's application to the Corporation. Through the work of the Steering Committee, on February 23, 1994 a statewide satellite videoconference, "National Service: Michigan's Call to Action" occurred. The satellite videoconference provided a vehicle to solicit input from local citizens in defining the needs of their communities and the responses to those needs that best fit their local conditions. This forum also served to initialize or strengthen community collaborations for future action around community service. Over 350 committed individuals participated, including community based organizations, school administrators, college and university staff and faculty, staff or volunteers associated with community foundations, local government representatives, labor and business representatives, youth, parents, adult volunteers, seniors and those individuals working with senior programs, persons with disabilities and those working with disabled individuals. Input was sought into defming for Michigan and its communities the pressing needs to be addressed through national and community service. Overall almost 20 communities were able to downlink for the teleconference and at least five others were able to view a videotape recording of the event. All of these communities were given the opportunity to submit needs assessments of their communities. Nine communities identified education as their most pressing concern. Subcategories included: literacy, after school programs, youth mentoring programs, computer literacy, and youth leadership skills development. Seven communities believed that public safety was paramount to meeting their community needs. These included communities from both the upper and lower Peninsula of Michigan. Elements of safety included: conflict resolution, crime prevention, community policing, substance abuse prevention, and youth violence. Thirteen communities throughout the state felt that human needs were most important. The various dimensions included: building family community centers, affordable housing, day care facilities, senior care and living programs, AIDS support mechanisms and counseling, single parent support services, long-term 7 �health care programs, mental health care programs, and transitional housing. Two communities, including one of the largest in the state, saw the environment as their greatest need. For the most part, neighborhood rehabilitation was their greatest concern. The results of the input received overwhelmingly supported the state's alignment with the national priorities established by the Corporation -- public safety, human needs, education and environmental issues. The Steering Committee concurred with the adoption of the national priorities as state priorities in Michigan, as did members of the MCSC. Of the four programs recommended for Learn and Serve Michigan - CB funding, all will address human needs and educational issues. In identifying their priority need areas for projects, communities utilized youth input in their decision making process. The priority need areas will be continually revisited by communities as youth and community leaders reassess and/or refocus their service resources to ensure that community needs are best being met. Youth will explore options, think critically, work cooperatively, and relate to peers as individual service projects are defined. • Demo~rapbjcs As reflected in our mission statement, MCSC is committed to promoting community service as a way of life for all citizens regardless of age, race, creed, religion, disability, or socioeconomic status. This all inclusive philosophy has been integrated into local programming efforts statewide. Diversity that reflects the community as a whole and fosters understanding and development among residents is important to the success of our service programs. The four communities preselected for funding have made a commitment to participant diversity and will undertake outreach strategies to ensure the composition of the program is closely aligned to 8 �that of the community. Across the four programs, goals are for nearly 60% of the participants to be economically disadvantaged and over 60% to be from an ethnic group other than white. One program serves a rural area, one focuses on an urban setting, while the remaining two service areas are a combination of rural and urban localities. II. Deshm and Activities • Process As mentioned previously, on February 23, 1994 a statewide satellite videoconference, "National Service: Michigan's Call to Action", was held. Over 350 individuals statewide participated to provide input into defining the future of service in Michigan, as well as the pressing needs to be addressed. To supplement this base, members of the Michigan Steering Committee on the National Service Trust Act of 1993 (see Appendix A for membership) were requested to submit a concept paper delineating their perspective on the future of service. The concepts gleaned from these activities were compiled in the state plan by State Commission staff, including the Points of Light Youth Engaged in Service Ambassador and the Title D Michigan CARES director. Input on the draft state plan was solicited from members of the Steering Committee and members of the Executive Committee of the MCSC. Revisions were incorporated and all members of the MCSC received a copy for input. The Learn and Serve Michigan - CB plan was approved by the full Commission on May 20, 1994. • Proa:ram Types Three of the four programs to be funded employ peer education and mentoring as the strategy to deliver education and address human needs. The fourth will use teams of students on group projects to address community needs. Essential to programs' success is a sound plan for supervision, training of staff and participants, and program structure. All programs will provide 9 �for sufficient supervision to ensure a quality learning experience and service opportunity. Each program will be governed by a local advisory council. A typical staffing pattern includes the following functions: program director, education coordinator, volunteer director, and team leader. Depending on program size, several staff may perform the same function. As stated earlier, a diverse mix of youth will participate in this worthwhile experience. Participants will be recruited through participating partner agencies, local public and private schools, local neighborhood associations and word-of-mouth referrals. Pre-service orientation sessions will be held for participants and staff. Topics to be covered include such topics as leadership and team skill building, self-esteem/confidence building activities, celebrating diversity, setting goals, critical thinking, decision-making, peer listening and conflict resolution. Intensive peer education training will be provided to youth serving in that capacity. Pre-service training for all grantees' staff will be held centrally by the MCSC (see Training and Technical Assistance for training offerings). Service activities will include tutoring to increase recipients' academic skills, development of informational materials and presentations around a pressing community need, community beautification and image enhancement to assist with local economic development efforts, training on drug and alcohol abuse, and education on abstinence and sexuality. Service activities will be geared toward empowering youth to take responsibility for their own choices and actions and will show them how they can make a difference for others. Participants will regularly attend discussion and reflection sessions. These sessions will be supervised by program staff. Prior to the planned projects, youth will complete an agency description sheet delineating agency location, contact person, services provided and specific project 10 �activities. These sheets will guide the projects and provide a structured mechanism to facilitate reflection. Public speaking and news media interviews will be used to share participants' success stories. Exemplary service will be recognized in a variety of ways. Recognition activities include sweatshirts with a program logo for mentors and matching T-shirts for mentees, free tickets to community/school arts and athletic events to encourage participation, recognition dinners and appreciation ceremonies, letters and certificates of appreciation. • Selection A Request for Proposal was designed by staff of the MCSC, based on guidance from the Corporation. Michigan's existing infrastructure for service was tapped to create a mailing list for application packets. This ensured input from a wide diversity of organizations in the development of the distribution plan. Over 1,000 application packets were disseminated statewide. Responses to the issued RFPs were due to the State Commission on April15. Eight responses were received for consideration. Individuals from various constituencies committed to volunteering their time to assist in performing a non-biased review of the Learn and Service MI - CB applications received for funding. Each individual signed a Conflict of Interest form verifying their impartiality in the rating process. Individuals included in the review of the proposals were: • two Commissioners from the Michigan Community Service Commission, • one representative from the private sector, • two representatives from the Council of Michigan Foundations, • one representative from the Michigan Youth Progressive Action Council, • two representatives from the Michigan Department of Education. These eight individuals reviewed all submitted proposals. Since they represented diverse sectors, a broad interpretation of the proposal was realized. 11 �Two two-hour orientation sessions for proposal reviewers were held to accommodate the schedules of review team members who were requested to attend one of the sessions. These sessions were intended to lessen, to the extent possible, the subjectivity of the review process by establishing a common baseline of knowledge and intent. At these sessions, reviewers were provided with a review panel packet, including the Request for Proposal application materials, review criteria, and review forms. Michigan's Principles for Service and the Wingspread Principles of Good Practice for Combinin~ Service and Learnin~ were also distributed. Each reviewer was also provided with insight into the vision and future for community service in the state. Proposals were initially reviewed internally by State Commission staff for completeness. This review entailed determining the inclusion of all required proposal components, such as signed title page, completed budget forms, narrative description of the proposed project, mission statement, assurances and certifications. Applications that were found to be complete were forwarded to members of the review teams on April 22. Review team members were provided with a proposal rating form package which specifically defined the rating criteria. Proposals were reviewed against the following criteria: A. Need 00%) Proposals were evaluated based on their ability to impact the community and participants, to clearly identify the community need to be addressed and define the target groups which will be affected. B. Or~anizational Capacity (30%) Proposals needed to provide an adequate infrastructure and capacity to support proposed activities. The applicant needed to describe a sound process for training, technical assistance, supervision, quality control, evaluation, administration and other key activities. 12 �C. Concept and Desi20 C40%) Each applicant established goals and objectives that were to be appropriate and effective vehicles for promoting service-learning. The applicant's ability to provide for productive, meaningful educational experiences which incorporate service-learning methods was evaluated D. Sustainability ClO%) The program was also to have strong, broad-based partnerships and community support. Applicants were to provide evidence that financial resources were available to continue the Learn and Serve MI -CB effort after the expiration of the grant. E. Innovation and Replicability ClO%) Applicants were assessed based on their ability to assist others in learning from experience and replicating the program concept. Programs were expected to advance the service field by employing innovative approaches and program designs which could be replicated in other communities. Completed review forms were forwarded back to the State Commission office on April 27. On April 28, review results were compiled by Commission staff and prepared for dissemination and discussion by review team members. Team members attended a consensus scoring session on April29. At this session, team members discussed amongst themselves the merits of the proposals that were in their grouping for review. This activity served to provide a consensus rating of the proposals. These discussions were guided and recorded by a group facilitator. The group facilitators met prior to the consensus rating session to plan a uniform strategy for the input of comments and recording of information. This information will be used to provide feedback and technical assistance to those agencies who submitted a proposal. Programs are ready to begin operation in August 1994, or upon notification of a funding award. • Trainine and Technical Assistance 13 �MCSC firmly believes that standards need to be established and enforced when promoting training and technical assistance. This is why the MCSC has been a partner in establishing a training council. This council, made up of youth development organizations, higher education institutions, service learning practioners and community foundations, is currently developing a multi-stage curriculum model in service learning training for beginners to experts. The goal is not only to ensure the quality and content of service learning training, but to disseminate the philosophy of meaningful service throughout the state education system. MCSC has called upon this council to identify and help meet the training needs of community based programs receiving Learn and Serve Community Based funding. Elements to this training will include: • ensuring quality of experiences for participants and non-participant volunteers • partnership building for organizations and organizational leaders • community impact awareness • integration of service learning into the K-12 curriculum • principles of best practice One pre-service orientation and one post-service debriefing conference will be held for some staff, volunteers and community leaders involved with each program. These conferences will provide an opportunity for programs to network; coordinate similar or related activities; recognize outstanding members; collect technical information on service programs; offer evaluation and feedback information to MCSC; provide training to Learn and Serve Community Based grantees in service learning, collaboration and youth development. The post-service debriefing conference will also be used to provide information to current grantees concerning the application process for the up coming year. Ongoing technical assistance will be provided to grantees through annual site visits to programs by 14 �an Outreach Coordinator and an Evaluation Monitor. These individuals will be responsible for the constant maintenance of the MCSC/grantee relationship. The Outreach Coordinator will aid programs in developing projects and partnerships to further the success of the program. The Evaluation Monitor will check the grantees for their efforts towards compliance with their contracts and collection of evaluation data. • Coordination As Michigan's overarching goals for service in the state guide all service streams, Learn and Serve Michigan - CB programming will complement other service initiatives. The MCSC and Steering Committee will be involved in not only this programming effort but to all Corporation-funded efforts to ensure the highest level of coordination and integration of activities. The activities described in the state plan to achieve our goals support and enhance service-learning by increasing awareness of service opportunities, strengthening the quality of activities, establishing and building on community capacity and institutionalizing service in our state. As in the past, MCSC will convene meetings of all grantees funded with Corporation funds and serve as an information broker. Through these peer technical assistance sessions, experienced program operators will share their expertise and insight with newly funded organizations. Ample time will be devoted for informal networking across sites as MCSC realizes the value of this information exchange. A statewide directory, containing details of funded programs, will be produced by MCSC which will facilitate information exchange beyond that which occurs in the semi-annual sessions. Additionally, the MCSC will match new sites to existing sites with similar programming goals for peer technical assistance exchanges. MCSC will also serve as a clearinghouse for information on innovative approaches being undertaken. This information network will encompass all service streams. 15 �The school-based service learning application prepared by the Department of Education built upon the common vision and quality principles for service which guide all service programs within the state. The Department of Education solicited input from the Commission during the development of its application, and the MCSC did likewise, to ensure coordination of proposed activities. A reciprocal arrangement exists for the review and selection of applications submitted for funding across service streams to facilitate complementary funding awards. Technical assistance and training sessions for • lnstjtutjonal and Personnel Information Since it's inception in 1991, the MCSC has administered in partnership with the state's Department of Education and Michigan Campus Compact the Serve-America and Higher Education programs funded by the Commission on National and Community Service. This partnership has ensured the collaboration between all streams of service in the state and has provided for the involvement of the State Commission in the policy setting and administration of the programs. The MCSC has been and continues to be chaired by Michigan's First Lady Michelle Engler. Mrs. Engler serves as chair of the Commission due to her personal and professional interest in service. As an attorney, Mrs. Engler brings to the Commission a breadth of expertise and experience. Mrs. Engler believes in the power of Michigan citizens, through public service, to solve community problems. She is also involved in numerous initiatives which are an integral part of her mission to encourage community service and volunteerism. She is active in promoting an improved life for our citizens, thereby improving our communities and our state. Mr. Frank Dirks serves as Executive Director of the Commission, assuming the position in early May 1994. In this role, Mr. Dirks provides overall leadership and guidance to Michigan's service movement. Mr. Dirks brings a wide range of expertise and experience to the MCSC including 16 �extensive work in service learning with the Close Up Foundation and youth development with Youth Service America. Mr. Dirks provided intensive onsite consultation to our state in the initial development of the state commission. He has continually been involved in establishing quality programs in the state and brings to the state commission a valued national perspective on community service and service learning. Our state has been chosen as one of nine states to host a Points of Light Foundation Youth Engaged in Service Ambassador. This individual promotes service and service learning among youth in the state. A major focal point for the YES ambassador has been to include and highlight youth involvement in Commission decisions and initiatives. The YES ambassador also coordinates the efforts of the Michigan Youth Progressive Action Council (MYPAC). A program director (see Quality Control and Evaluation Process -- Outreach Coordinator) will be brought on board to spearhead the coordination and oversight of the Learn and Serve MI - CB and the AmeriCorps grantees. In addition, the MCSC will be staffed with a complience monitor whose responsibilities will include contract monitoring and evaluation coordination. III. Quality Control and Evaluation Process The MCSC will provide overall program management. MCSC's Outreach Coordinator will monitor the achievement of goals and objectives. Ongoing contact with local program operators will occur through site visits, written communications, and telephone consultations. Progress reports will be requested from local grantees on a quarterly basis, with informal monitoring of progress occurring between these intervals. Monthly participant and financial reports will be used to capture demographic information on participants and to monitor expenditure levels. The MCSC is housed within the Executive Office of the Michigan Jobs Commission (MJC), which 17 �is a state agency which administers a budget of just under $408 million for social and economic development programs. Various offices within the MJC provide administrative support to the MCSC. Additionally, the Michigan Department of Labor's Office of Budget, Finance and Administrative Services performs fiscal functions. This integrated approach to program management has been in effect since initial Commission on National and Community Service funding was received in the state. IV. Sustajnability Michigan's community service movement has been able to flourish due to the level of nonpartisan support continually exhibited in our state. State legislation is currently pending approval which will ensure the continuance of the MCSC and promote service in the state. Additionally, as outlined in our state plan, we are committed to the institutionalization of service in Michigan. We have pledged the permanent creation of a Coordinating Body for Service in our state. This entity will not be totally dependant upon state and federal funding. Relying on the expertise and resources of the MCSC's Standing Committee on Fund Development, efforts will be made to create a permanent endowment to fund and support Commission initiatives. Two major Michigan-based foundations actively support community service and youth volunteerism. Many efforts funded by the W.K. Kellogg Foundation, such as the National Youth Leadership Council's National Service-Learning Initiative, Michigan-12 Service-Learning Center, Michigan Into the Street, the Michigan Nonprofit Forum, and Youth Service America's Youth Volunteer Corps of America, will build expertise and long-standing structures to spread and carry on the youth community service movement. By supporting development of programs aimed at atrisk youth, community education, and intergenerational and mentoring programs, the Mott Foundation has also played a major role in promoting efforts which service youth or provide youth with service opportunities. 18 �Continued human and financial resources will be available to local communities through the Michigan Community Foundation Youth Project of the Council of Michigan Foundations. This five-year project (1991-1996) results from a $35 million commitment from the Kellogg Foundation and a companion grant from the Mott Foundation to help the Council's community foundation members establish permanent and growing funds within each community to meet urgent local youth needs and provide community service opportunities. V. Innovation and Replicability Initial year grantees will be requested to provide peer technical assistance to future year grantees. This will facilitate the sharing of "lessons learned" across agencies in the state and across service streams. The "lessons learned" will be compiled in the resource directory. To promote coordination, MCSC will match new sites to existing sites with similar programming goals for peer technical assistance exchanges. All participating agencies have committed to assisting with the replication of their innovative programs in other interested communities. Materials and information to be shared include successful strategies for youth recruitment, retainment, promotion, program design, and budgeting. Strategies to ensure a quality service experience through the use of service-learning will also be highlighted. This program information will be compiled in a directory and disseminated at the all grantee technical assistance sessions and through mailings to all grantees. 19 � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
