Dedicated to enabling all citizens, especially youth, to engage in public problem solving through service and volunteerism �Everybody can be great because everybody can serve. Martin Luther King, Jr. The Michigan Community Service Commission (MCSC) . ( Catalyst for positive community change; stimulating innovative programs that meet real community needs through service. Convener of diverse individuals and groups; building community through shared efforts toward common goals. Broker of ideas and resources; encouraging collaboration and entrepreneurial approaches to service and volunteer program development. The Michigan Community Service Commission is committed to helping communities find their own creative solutions to local challenges. Governor John Engler Created by Executive Order of the Governor in October 1991, MCSC was established in State law with the overwhelming bipartisan support of the Michigan Legislature in the summer of 1994. The twenty-five member nonpartisan Commission supports and administers national and community service programs across Michigan. Service is a spark to rekindle the spirit of democracy in an age of uncertainty. President Bill Clinton MCSC promotes and supports individual volunteers, service and volunteer programs, and public/private partnerships that meet important community needs. MCSC's goals for national and community service in Michigan • Building programs and expanding resources based on local community needs and interests. • Enabling youth and community practitioners to be part of the program design and policy development process. • Promoting diverse programs that are representative of their communities. • Encouraging strong partnerships among public, private, and nonprofit agencies. • Developing a State-wide information clearinghouse and a system for training in the best practices of service and service learning. • Enhancing service and volunteerism through rewards, incentives, and recognition. National service, like gravity, is something we could accustom ourselves to, and grow to love. William F.

Chaired by First Lady Michelle Engler, the Commission has a 25-member board and a small but dedicated staff. Organizational Goals The Commission's goals for national and community servtce in Michigan include: • building programs and expanding resources based on local community needs and interests. • enabling youth and community practitioners to take part in program design and policy development. • promoting diverse programs that are representative of their communities. • encouraging strong partnerships among public, private, and non-profit agencies. • developing a statewide information clearinghouse and a system for training in the best practices of service and service learning. • enhancing service and volunteerism through rewards, incentives, and recognition. �Public Relations Goals Although the Commission has been around for more than three years, it suffers from a lack of identity. Its stated priorities for 1995 include: • increasing visibility, awareness and support for the Michigan Community Service Commission and its programs; and • establishing an identity for its in-state programs (including Michigan CARES, MYSAM, MYPAC, Youth for Michigan,T AP- Youth Service, The Governor's Service and Volunteer Recognition Program, and Program Technical Assistance and Leadership Training). Recommendations Rossman Martin & Associates offers the following recommendations for developing a comprehensive public relations strategy to build awareness and support for the Commission and its programs: 1. Identify all target audiences. It is essential to identify both internal and external target audiences before pursuing a comprehensive public relations strategy. Internal audiences are likely to include at least commissioners, funding resources (i.e., W.K. Kellogg Foundation, C.S. Mott Foundation, Corporation for National and Community Service, etc.), and program participants. External audiences are likely to include potential program participants, potential funding resources, business leaders, civic leaders, media gatekeepers, legislators, etc. 2. Identify key message(s). It does not appear that the Commission currently has what we would consider to be a key (or primary) message, theme or slogan. Instead, a mission statement - "Dedicated to enabling all citizens, especially youth, to engage in public problem solving through service and volunteerism" - is used in the Commission's general · brochure. This statement does not appear in the other printed material (fact sheets) made available to us. �The purpose of a key message . is to ensure consistency, continuity and frequency of message - basically, to say the same thing over and over and over again until folks finally begin to recognize and identify it with a specific organization or effort. (Think of .it as a slogan.) Memorable key messages often include calls to action (telling folks what to do), plays on words, etc. In the Commission's case, a possible key message might be: "Doing good works." Depending on which word is emphasized, the sentence can mean different things to different people. It also helps embrace the Commission's goal of "enhancing service and volunteerism through rewards , incentives, and recognition." In addition to a key message, several secondary messages are likely to be appropriate. These messages would be targeted to specific audiences and/or for specific programs. 3. Seek out proof points. Proof points are those facts, figures and anecdotes that reinforce and support key messages. These will have to be gathered and made available as communication tools are being developed. 4. Update existing collateral materials. While the Commission's existing printed materials are informative, they lack character (tone, personality, image). ·They are also void of people - the very folks who drive the programs - in pictures, quotes or vignettes. We strongly recommend updating these existing materials, using the Commission's preferred key message along with a colorful, strongly visual approach. We also urge the Commission to adopt a much more informal approach to the copy - it is primarily both academic and bureaucratic and lacks imagery. We would prefer to see a colorful, fun and exciting approach that shows that volunteering is rewarding and fun. �5. Develop a public service campaign. One of the best ways to help get a message out to a large population is through the media. Due to its expense, however, however, a paid advertising campaign is most likely out of the question. Instead, we recommend producing a :30-second public service announcement (or series of announcements) for both television and radio that would be distributed throughout the state. While these PSAs would be produced as "evergreens" (meaning they can be used at any time throughout the year), we would especially target April and National Volunteer Week (April 23-29), preparing an appropriate tagline for airing during that time period. (NOTE: Most local stations have several employees who are volunteers themselves. They may be interested in developing their own local PSAs showcasing their own folks. . Celebrity volunteers are another potential venue.) One note of cautions, however, about a PSA campaign: they are extremely labor intensive (several phone calls, individual letters, etc. are required for maximum play) and rely very much on an individual station's whims and preferences. In addition, although donated . production can be cost-effective, quality and control are often extremely limited. We point this out only to impress upon you that it is not the be-all, end-all of a public relations campaign. 6. Maximize earned media coverage. One of the best - and by far the most credible - ways to generate awareness and visibility, is by garnering "earned" media coverage. That means identifying (and generating when necessary) media opportunities that will earn news coverage. For instance, we'd recommend initiating a letter to Michigan media after the first of the year to remind them about National Volunteer Week so they can begin planning their story budgets for April 23-29 now. Follow-up activities will be needed as well, which will include preparing as much feature and news background as possible for the media on as many volunteer and community service stories as possible. In fact, documenting volunteer service in Michigan both quantitatively and qualitatively - perhaps in an annual report format - may be a terrific way to get media interested in the Commission's work. �An example of pursuing earned coverage might include something like this: Recruit and publicize celebrities, commissioners, business leaders and others to either work alongside Michigan's AmeriCorps on the "big one-day project" scheduled for Friday, April 27, or provide support (deliver lunches, snacks, etc.) to workers. Rossman Martin & Associates has had tremendous success across the state in generating substantial media coverage for our clients. This is done in a variety of ways, but will likely include news conferences, celebrity visits to work sites, news releases, op/ed and viewpoint columns, talk show appearances, feature profiles, media tip sheets, etc. One of the biggest challenges the Commission faces with this component is establishing its own identity, since its primary function is simply supporting and administering other people's programs. In a nutshell, the challenge is as follows: How the heck do you get the Commission visibility when the media is covering Michigan's AmeriCorps (or one of your other programs)? Although we do not have sufficient information to make an informed decision, we can tell you that our initial recommendation would be to ensure that: a) all media coverage is initiated through the Commission; b) the Commission is always quoted in a news release or viewpoint; and c) a Commission contact/spokesperson (name, title and phone number) is always included on all news releases and advisories. In addition, boilerplate language explaining the role of the Commission should be included at the end of every news release initiated. 7. Participate in events and activities as appropriate. The more active the Commission is in a hands-on way - site visits, speeches, etc., the more visibility will be generated both with those attending the events, and the possible news coverage emanating from them. This also includes initiating events and activities - kick-offs for the Youth Recruitment poster contest, the Governor's Service & Volunteerism Awards, etc. �8. Establish a research/evaluation component. The only way to truly measure impact and effectiveness is to identify - in advance - specific components to keep tabs on. This may include measuring the level of media coverage now, use that as a benchmark, then monitor media coverage on a monthly basis. The best way to measure effectiveness (but also the most costly) is to actually conduct a scientific survey to measure people's awareness of the Commission, its role in the state, etc. This is likely to cost in excess of $15,000 however, and therefore we don't recommend it. Level of Investment Rossman Martin & Associates offers to provide ongoing public relations counseling , strategic planning and implementation to the Michigan Community Service Commission based on these proposed observations and recommendations . In addition, we will provide all additional support services necessary to implement these · recommendations - copywriting and editing , speakers training , media relations, etc. We suggest considering one of the following investment options: Hourly. RM&A principals Kelly Rossman-McKinney and Roger Martin bill out at $125/hour on a straight hourly basis. Our account executives are billed at $80/hour. Monthly Retainer. Many clients require ongoing support, counseling and implementation services. These clients prefer a monthly retainer arrangement to ensure continuity. accessibility and stability. Our minimum retainer is $1,000/month to provide for up to 10 hours/month at $100/hour. · All additional hours are billed at $115/hour and are pursued only with advance client notice; Project. The Commission may determine that our expertise is needed only on certain projects to supplement and complement its existing staff. If this is the case, an estimate will be developed for each project to be considered. Out-of-Pocket Expenses. Rossman Martin & Associates does not mark up any outside work and passes those savings directly to our clients. All out-of-pocket expenses are billed at cost. (NOTE: These would include the outside costs of a graphic designer, if needed, printing, video production, etc.) �Pro Bono. Rossman Martin & Associates will donate up to 25 hours of time specifically for the public service announcement component of this proposal. NOTE: This does not include production costs, although we will approach a variety of pro bono production possibilities on your .behalf. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

MCSC FROM: Scott Richardson RE: 3/10 - 3/11 MCSC Meeting DATE: March 22. 1995 };t 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. \ , ... 1 �3/10195 /. 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 philosophical 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. 3111195 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 Pros Cons Comments Sustainable Shrinks pie? Political interference more likely? Competition among CBOs Realistic about government funding Should the board grow and include non-voting members, perhaps with rotating terms? How many board meetings per year are needed? B. Endowment Pros Cons Timing is best now Is window closing? ~ Comments 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 feasjbility 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.

Step One- the first ofDecember each program submitted their First Quarter Report to MCSC. This was followed by the December, January, and February AmeriCorps Program Directors' Meetings. At these meetings the Program Directors were informed of the remaining steps of the renewal process. Step Two- the first week of March MCSC Program Development Director, Lindy Reurink, conducted a one day Site Visit to each program. Immediately following the visits a one/two page Site Review Sheet was given to each program. The purpose of the Site Review Sheet and the Site Visit were clearly stated as being: an assessment of the program, a tool to be used by program staff to strengthen the program, and an opportunity for MCSC to gather information for training and technical assistance. Step Three - a Renewal Meeting brought together each program's staff and MCSC staff for a half-day discussions on the program's current status, strengths, and weaknesses. The discussion was based on the information provided in the program's First Quarter Report and the Site Visit. At the Renewal Meeting programs were given instructions on completing their Year 2 AmeriCorps application. Programs were told that while there is room for budget increases in Year 2, pending the congressional decision on the current budget recision, these increases need to be justified in a separate memo attached to the final budget. Also, any program requesting an increase over 25% would automatically be placed (by the Corporation) in the Competitive pool. Step Four - the programs each submitted a tentative Year 2 budget. Immediately following, MCSC staff provided each program with a Budget Review Sheet that detailed any questions regarding budget amounts, mathematical errors, need for revisions, etc. Step Five - April 28 was the deadline for submission of the Year 2 program renewal application. An application (including the revised Year 2 budget) from each existing program was received and reviewed by MCSC staff. MCSC staff recommends that the eight existing Michigan's AmeriCorps programs be approved for a total of $2,397,325. 3 �1995 New Submissions MCSC received a total of 30 concept proposals outlining general program design and proposed accomplishments. A panel of 11 peer reviewers met on March 1 and 2 to review and score the proposal submissions. Staff reviewed the peer recommended proposals and made their recommendations to the MCSC Commissioners at the March 10, 1995 retreat where they were approved. Sixteen of the original 30 applicants were invited to submit fully developed proposals that took into consideration the peer and staff comments. MCSC staff met with all applicants as a group to outline expectations and provide technical assistance to the unsuccessful applicants. Staff met with each of the remaining successful applicants individually and provided them with the application from the Corporation for National Service (CNS), some background material explaining the standards of quality national service programs and other information related to their specific application. Final proposals were due April 28, 1995. (All but one, Common Ground, decided to move to the next stage in the process) MCSC received 12 final fully developed proposals out of the pool of 15 finalists. With encouragement from MCSC staff, two applicants from Marquette County collaborated to submit one proposal and two other applicants declined to apply (Neighborhood Services Department of Detroit and Oakland Livingston Human Service Agency -- Late Night Recreation League). Staff reviewed the remaining applications based on quality issues related to the questions asked of each applicant during the application process: • • • • • What is getting done? How is it getting done? What are the corpsmembers doing? Does the program design meet the proposed goals of the program? Is the administrative and fiscal structure of the program sound and realistic? Four applicants submitted strong proposals addressing Michigan's Priority of Youth Violence Prevention. Unfortunately, funding for this arena (formula funding) is limited. In addition, the proposals submitted addressing the national priorities (competitive funding) were not as strong and staff could recommend only three of the six submitted (Michigan is allowed to submit eight programs in this arena). This left room for at least five more applications. Based on a 1-10 scale, a cut-off level for the scoring of the proposals was set at 6 for the formula submissions and 3 for the competitive. Staff offered two Michigan Priority applicants to resubmit under the national priority of Education: School Success (Clinton County Regional Education Service Agency-- Youth Violence Prevention Program with a score of 3 and Michigan State University Extension-- Power To Achieve with a score of 3.5). Only one of the applicants accepted the offer (Michigan State University Extension-- Power To Achieve). 4 �The SOS Crisis Center application is supported through a mutual agreement between CNS and HUD whereby specially designated HUD funds are set aside to support AmeriCorps programs that will work with HUD sponsored housing programs. CNS agrees to provide the educational award for corpsmembers and HUD agrees to provide the remaining funding including corpsmember benefits, support and overhead costs. Therefore, this proposal may be included in our application to CNS and not affect our formula funding limitations or competitive submission caps. As a result, staff recommends the following new applicants for consideration by the Commission for inclusion in the MCSC 1995 AmeriCorps application to CNS (brief descriptions of each application and review sheets are attached): 5 �1995 Michi2"an's AmeriCorps Renewal Applicant Summaries Fonnula Submissions • AmeriCorps Oakland: Michigan's AmeriCorps This Michigan's AmeriCorps program will utilize 40 part-time AmeriCorps members in an effort to reduce violence for 1,000 Pontiac youth by providing alternatives to violence and academic support.

Chaired by Michigan's First Lady Michelle Engler, MCSC was designated as the state's lead agency for administering programs under the National and Community Service Act of 1990, and later the National Service Trust Act of 1993. From the start, MCSC has maintained an ambitious agenda in support of service and volunteerism that encompasses more than the administration of federally funded national and community service programs. The Governor and the Michigan Community Service Commission have been committed to ensuring that the operation and the public perception of MCSC are strictly non-partisan . The result of this commitment was demonstrated in 1994 when the Michigan Legislature established the Commission in law with overwhelming bi-partisan support--- passing the House 105-2 and the Senate 30-2. MCSC's mission is to enable 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: 1) As a Catalyst for positive community change, stimulating innovative programs that meet real community needs through service. �2) As a Convener of diverse individuals and groups, building community through shared efforts and toward common goals. 3) As a Broker of ideas and resources, encouraging collaboration and entrepreneurial approaches to seNice and volunteer program development. A FOUNDATION FOR CIVIC RENEWAL MCSC believes that the foundation for the civic renewal of our communities is built through seNice. MCSC promotes and supports individual volunteers, seNice and volunteer programs, and public/private partnerships that meet important community needs. MCSC endeavors to employ the best entrepreneurial practices of the non-profit field to support its mission. MCSC seeks out new opportunities and partnerships to support and promote sustainable, communitydriven models of seNice and volunteerism. MCSC seeks to seNe as facilitator and conduit between the public and nonprofit sectors. MCSC's agenda is based on a solid foundation of seven fundamental principles that inform all of its program and policy decisions. 1) Service, volunteerism, and philanthropy take many shapes, but they share what's 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 seNice of citizen volunteers and philanthropists. SeNice, 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 or the individualistic competition of the marketplace. 2) Service, volunteerism, and philanthropy are the building blocks of the Social Capital necessary to sustain a healthy democracy. In a recent paper, HaNard University Professor, Robert Putnam affirmed the opinions of social obseNers 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 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 the mechanisms for people to work together voluntarily for the good of the whole. Service and volunteerism are essential ingredients of Social Capital. 3) Strong communities rely on an effective balance of three primary sectors: the Public (government), the Private (business), and the Social (non-profit social serving organizations) The independent or non-profit 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. 4) Government and business should continue to work in partnership with the 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 sectors 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 strengthening of the Social Sector. At the national level, the initiatives of two successive presidents have illustrated bi-partisan support for the Social Sector. First. George Bush's Points of Light and now Bill Clinton's AmeriCorps represent similarly conceived public-private partnerships in support of service and volunteerism . �5) Service, Volunteerism, and Philanthropy are not bi-partisan ideas, they are non-partisan 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 service, volunteer, and philanthropic sector. 6) 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 do so later. 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. 7) 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, reverse the trend of apathy and alienation, communities can afford to leave no resource untapped. Citizens of all ages, and all socio-economic backgrounds must be involved in building communities through service. �The Michigan Community Service Commission is the state's administrative agency for national and community service programs. The national service program, AmeriCorps, as well as other national and community service programs play an important role in building capacity for service and volunteerism in Michigan. MCSC administers national and community service programs in accordance with the following principals: 1) National service is part of the American volunteer tradition National and community service builds Social Capital by providing volunteer support to the kinds of Social Sector institutions that must grow strong if government is to suc:cessfully define a more limited social serving role for itself. National and community service is part of a continuum that ranges from the American tradition of the individual citizen volunteerism to a citizen's full-time volunteer commitment to serve their community or country. 2) AmeriCorps and other national service programs provide excellent (but not exclusive) opportunities for states to support and develop the capacity of the Social Sector at the community level. AmeriCorps and 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 problem-solving through service and volunteerism. 3) The AmeriCorps, like volunteerism, relies on limited term citizen volunteers, not institutionalized bureaucracy. Government is c learly 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. 4) AmeriCorps, like all full-time service programs generate and multiply additional volunteers. An American, on average, volunteers four hours a week. Since this figure is an average, it does not reflect the irregularity of weekly volunteer service. 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 recru it, coordinate and supervise the work of limited-time volunteers. A full-time volunteer service provider will be able to maximize the impact of four hours of service of the limited-time volunteer. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

MCSC was established in State law with the overwhelming bipartisan support of the Michigan Legislature in the summer of 1994. The twenty-five member nonpartisan Commission supports and administers national and community service programs across Michigan. The Michigan Community Service Commission promotes and supports individual volunteers, service and volunteer programs, and public/private partnerships that meet important community needs. The Michigan Community Service Commission makes training and technical support available for organizations involved in community service and service-learning. MCSC helps groups find other organizations across the state who share the same goals and operate similar programs. This guide is one means by which we help put people in contact with each other. The organizations, agencies, and networks listed in this guide operate statewide, or in a large portion of the state. Our hope is that, in this guide, you will be able to find services provided similar to the services you are seeking. These organizations, agencies, and networks all work with many other organizations in various local communities and would be happy to help put you in contact with someone locally. The Commission is also profiled in this guide as we are always available to assist in any way possible.

Executive Director Frank Dirks MEMORANDUM TO: Michigan Community Service Commission FROM: Frank Dirks, Executive Michigan Community Service C~~ - RE: Executive Director's Report DATE: May 11 , 1995 _ Director~ INTRODUCTION This marks the end of my first year at MCSC. It has been a challenging and exhilarating year. We have accomplished a great deal of which you can be proud. We have a long way to go, with many more challenges ahead, but in the end, I believe the rewards will be great for MCSC and for Michigan. While a good portion of this report will be devoted to the road ahead, I think you will see that in the last year MCSC has pursued a course consistent with its creed of working smart, working hard, and working to learn. Before I go on, I would like to once again express my deep appreciation and respect for the work of the MCSC staff. They willingly and regularly put in 12 and 14 hour days and often work weekends. It is their uncommon dedication and commitment to service in Michigan that helps make MCSC such a special organization. You can be very proud of the work they do. I sure am. UPDATES AmeriComs Operations Michigan's AmeriCorps network includes 100 community-based partner organizations in nine communities. At the end of their second reporting quarter Michigan's AmeriCorps programs had 224 active (out of 271 allotted) members who had given 81,279 hour of service. The programs had involved 633 non-member volunteers who had given 4,072 hours of service. Some of the local program highlights include: Oakland corpsmembers provided in-depth conflict resolution training to 240 junior high school students who will themselves lead peer mediation in their schools; EMU corpsmembers have involved more than 1,290 K-12 students in after-school programs and clubs; in Flint corpsmembers have started 12 new girl scout troops involving 161 A Division of the Michigan Jobs Commission 0' ~ �girls, the program has also involved 167 at-risk young adults in AmeriCorps activities without a single youth getting back into trouble; and in Saginaw corpsmembers have nearly completed the rehabilitation of three homes. In February and March MCSC staff conducted program monitoring visits. During this period MCSC staff also conducted three training and technical assistance sessions for AmeriCorps program staff. The MCSC program monitoring guide has become a model for other state commissions. From our assessment of the programs to-date, we have found very encouraging progress toward objectives. We have also found that programs across-the-board will need further technical support in addressing member supervision and attrition. AmeriCor:ps Outreach The result of this process is contained in our enclosed program application package. As you will find, our work with Michigan CARES produced four AmeriCorps proposals, three of which we are recommending for the final package. We were also successful in getting proposals for our intensive outreach areas--the U.P and Detroit. Overall, I think this tear's process produced a stronger set of proposals (than last year) among those we are sending forward. However, we still must do a better job of helping applicants generate higher quality, competitive proposals. Quest International We have set a date for a state-wide conference for October 2, 1995. We are nearing completion of a promotional brochure in cooperation with Quest. Dr. Benjamin Barber, from Rutgers University and one of the nation's leading thinkers and writers on service and citizenship will be the Keynote speaker. Summer teacher training dates have been set for the second and third weeks of August. Michigan CARES All six communities have developed thoughtful, comprehensive strategic plans that represent the work of 300 volunteers involving 200 community-based organizations. The MCSC/CMF partnership remains strong and productive. (I have been involved in a ·number of collaborative efforts, and proven to be as positive and supportive as this.) Chris Kwak, our program officer from W. K. Kellogg observed the CMF/MCSC staff review of the community plans and project proposals. Chris also attended the second state-wide CARES meeting. The quality of the progress and the process has led her to request a second phase proposal. We are currently in the process of developing it with CMF. Signature Project More than 200 corpsmembers participated in MCSC' s first state-wide ArneriCorps training and signature service project in Detroit on April 28-29. On the first day, the corpsmembers led presentations on their projects and participated in team-building activities. On the second day, the corpsmembers joined community members in twenty service projects across Southwest Detroit. The highlights included: the removal of more than 2,800 abandoned tires from a vacant lot; the removal of three dumpsters of debris from various lots; landscaping for a community mental health center; painting the interior of a community youth center; and the removal of graffiti from four blocks of walls (they also helped local artists paint murals on the same walls). 2 �THE LONG RANGE PLAN STATUS As you know, over the last few months, members of the commission have been contemplating the long term direction of MCSC. At the last Commission meeting, the Long Range Planning Task Force asked that the Commission consider these issues at the Commission Retreat. As you will see from the Facilitator's report on the retreat, members explored many issues with long-term implications. In particular, the Commission examined two related topics--an MCSC policy statement and an outline for a long range plan and outcome. The Facilitator's report offers a very good review of the meeting in both areas. The Policy Paper, which is intended to serve as philosophical foundation for future development, is enclosed with the suggested changes for your approval. The second, and larger area covered at the retreat is centered around the questions: where do we go? and what do we look like when we get there?. The questions were initially framed by the following outline containing two sections. The frrst deals with what MCSC may look like (the goal), the second with how MCSC may get there (the process). What MCSC Should Look Like: · I. II. A Non-Profit Corporation a. Twenty-five Member Board b. Board Appointed by Governor with Advise and Consent of the Legislature c. Staff Hired and Compensation set by the Board An Administrative Endowment a. b. c. d. A One-time State Contribution of $5 million to the Endowment A State Challenge Match of $1 to every $2 Raised up to the next $5 million State Administrative Appropriations for Two Years Until Endowment Established All Administrative and Overhead Costs to be Supported by the Endowment · ill. Administrator of All Consolidated State Service and Volunteer Programs a. Senior Service Programs to Move to MCSC from Office on Aging b. MCSC to Operate Programs through Annual State/Federal Appropriations c. MCSC to Operate Corporate/Foundation Funded Programs Consistent with Mission IV. A Building for MCSC, MNF, and other Michigan Social Sector Organizqtions a. Costs for Capital Construction or Improvement must come from non-public sources b. Property may be Donated by State but not as part of Endowment V. MCSC to Continue to Coordinate Service and Volunteerism Among State Agencies How to Achieve MCSC' s Goals: I. Complete Legislative Agenda by May 1996 a. Secure Governor's Support March/April 1995 b. Establish Legislative Strategy April/May 1995 c. Conduct Informational Outreach Summer/Fall1995 3 �II. Move into Building by May 1997 a. Establish Building Partnership Team April/May 1995 b. Determine State Role in Property Selection c. Conduct Investor/Funder Outreach Summer/Fall 1995 III. Promote the Michigan Model Nationally a. Establish the MCSC Policy Position on National and Community Service b. Identify Spokespeople for this Position c . Conduct Outreach and Information efforts in Washington d . Highlight the Return on Federal Service Investments in Michigan IV. Promote MCSC in Michigan a. Conduct Media Outreach for MCSC programs b. Promote MCSC among Established State Networks c . Generate Op Ed pieces for MCSC members d. Highlight Service Beneficiaries After considerable discussion, the Commission asked the staff to explore the feasibility of the goal. The biggest questions result from the endowment proposal contained in the goal. Is there support in the administration? Is there support in the legislature? What would the reaction be of nonprofits? Would funders match the endowment? The staff surveyed a number of individuals who bring important perspective to these questions. The endowment, while an enormous challenge is not impossible. It would take considerable effort and planning, and would not be certain. In my oral report I will elaborate on these findings . More important for the Commission's consideration are the other elements of the goal outline. Compared to the endowment, they may be much more achievable. They may also help ensure that MCSC achieves its goal of sustainability with the same certainty as through an endowment. Perhaps, building a strategy toward strong support in the legislature for annual appropriations is an effective alternative. The important thing is to consider the other elements in the goal outline that are not contingent on the endowment. For instance, being able to hire staff outside of the limits and restrictions of Civil Service could be a substantial step forward. Regardless of what the Commission may decide on the goal, it is my recommendation that the members decide to proceed on elements of the process that will help to effectively position MCSC for whatever goal it chooses. Julie Cummings has suggested the formation of a Corporate Advisory Council. I would also recommend the formation of a Corporate Communications Council. Both of these steps will help us with visibility and outreach necessary for achieving our organizational goals. I recommend that the Commission move to establish these two councils as well as endorse the steps outlined in sections II and IV in the process section. (In many respects we, particularly Ms. Engler, are already doing this. ) The most important thing is to move forward, to keep the momentum going. Federal funding is not certain. We can not afford to wait and react. FINAL SUMMARY REPORT ON FIRST YEAR OBJECTIVES In the State Plan that we submitted to CNCS we enumerated our annual objectives. This summary reflects our year-end accomplishments. For the most part, we met or exceeded the objectives that we laid out last May. 4 �In partnership with the Steering Committee, conduct a comprehensive state-wide inventory of Kindergarten-Retiree service and volunteer programs and practitioners. Working with the members of the MCSC Advisory Committee we have established a schedule of quarterly meetings. We have assembled a state-wide collaborative resource guide of programs and projects in the field. A draft of the guide will be disseminated at the Michigan Non-Profit Forum' s Grant-Maker-Grant-Seeker conference for comment (also available at the MCSC meeting). The guide will be completed and printed in June. It will be distributed to libraries and interested organizations. Members of the MCSC Advisory Committee will receive copies as well as a computer disk copy for easy reprinting. A copy will also be placed in the MCSC file of the state Email system for access on the Internet. Support Michigan Campaign for Volunteerism in its campaign to increase awareness of volunteerism and work collaboratively to raise visibility of MCSC and its related activities. We have maintained excellent communication with the Michigan Nonprofit Forum and the Michigan Volunteer Center Network. We have been working closely with Governor Romney, Dave Egner, and Sam Singh (MVCN). We meet monthly with Dave. Ms. Engler and Governor Romney co-authored a Detroit News Op-Ed (enclosed). In April, Governor Engler met with Governor Romney, Ms. Romney, Ms. Engler, Dave Egner, Sam Singh, and Frank Dirks to explore the non-profit summit proposal. Dave E. and Frank D. will submit a detailed proposal to Governor Engler for final consideration in June. Conduct a review workshop for AmeriCorps applicants not recommended by MCSC for funding. Establish a technical assistance and peer support process to strengthen these programs for future funding possibilities. We conducted the post application process review workshop in June. In December, we conducted a special Technical Assistance workshop for those that did not make the cut last year. The purpose was to introduce them to the elements of the second year process. After the Year One process our goal was to increase the number of strong proposals coming from Detroit and the Upper Peninsula. Our Year Two application package contains two new formula programs: one from each of the target regions. Our second year competitive application includes two proposals from two groups that applied but were not approved last year. In addition, we assisted the Department of Natural Resources is submitting a National Direct proposal in partnership with the Indiana Department of Environmental Management. (Note: This is the only way under current law that states can compete for funding under the National Direct program category. One third of AmeriCorps funds go to support programs in this category.) Establish a fund development plan for programs not funded by CNS or MCSC. This is an implicit part of the consideration of the long range planning effort. The Commission has before it at this meeting recommendations that will address this. This past year, in addition to our state and CNS funding, we received support from theW. K. Kellogg and C. S. Mott Foundations, Quest International, the General Motors Foundation (for the Governor's Awards dinner), Do\ Coming (for the bill signing), Julie Cummings and Max Fisher (also for the Governor's Awards dinner), and more than thirty Detroit businesses for the Signature Project. 5 �Identify directly funded AmeriCorps programs and integrate program planning, training, and implementation activities with those operating in the state. _National direct programs from USDA and YVCA participated in the Signature Service Project. Staff from USC, USDA, and YVCA have participated in Michigan's AmeriCorps Train-theTrainer Series. In June, MCSC will launch a series of regional coordination meetings for all volunteer and CNS funded programs. Seek foundation funding support for a targeted program development and technical assistance initiative for small neighborhood and community-based organizations. The Community Foundation for Southeast Michigan has selected the Detroit Catholic Youth Organization to administer Detroit CARES and TAP-Youth Service. The CYO CARESrrAP-YS coordinator began reporting weekly to the MCSC offices in February. The coordinator has been working with MCSC staff to prepare resource guides and develop grass-roots network contacts (outreach plan enclosed). The TAP-YS coordinator also played a vital role in planning and implementing the Michigan's AmeriCorps Signature Service Project in Detroit. Convene a meeting of state grant makers representing state and local government, corporate foundations, philanthropic foundations, community foundations, and United Ways for the purpose of developing a state strategy paper on sustaining national and community service. As a result of the February 20 funders meeting, at the offices of the W. K. Kellogg Foundation, the Council of Michigan Foundations has agreed to collaborate with MCSC on producing a grantmaker/grant-seeker guide on model service and volunteer programs in Michigan. - Develop a senior volunteer position at MCSC to promote connections among senior volunteer and youth community service programs. With the help of Bonnie Graham, of the Michigan Office on Aging, MCSC has established a Senior Ambassador position. The Senior Ambassador, RSVP Volunteer, Loran Graham, is currently organizing a senior advisory committee that could serve in a similar capacity as MYPA C. Launch, with private sector support, an MCSC logo and poster contest for elementary and middle school students. MCSC received more than 110 poster entries. In January a review panel met to decide the winner. The poster they selected is now at Little Caesars to be readied for printing. We will unveil the winning poster at the Governor's Community Service Awards dinner. We have developed a Commission logo and a Michigan's AmeriCorps logo. We have include the logos on all printed materials since November. Double the number of citizen respondents to the Community Service Awards Program and create AmeriCorps program and participant categories. While we failed to meet our goal of doubling the number of respondents, yve did manage a modest 20% increase in the number. 6 �Select six communities for the Michigan CARES program and provide training and technical assistance for community-based planners. We conducted, in cooperation with the Council of Michigan Foundations a review of the community strategic plans, which include: the formation of a volunteer center, a community resource center, a youth community activity center, and a youth development council. The CARES planning process has included more than 200 community agencies across the state . . It has generated four AmeriCorps proposals and facilitated MCSC' s MYSAM proposal collaboration process. We are currently in the process of preparing a second phase proposal toW. K. Kellogg in cooperation with C:MF. The CARES resource guide will be available in July. Develop and implement a state model for AmeriCorps training and technical assistance. We have established a model program development, monitoring and technical assistance process for AmeriCorps and Learn and Serve programs. (See Eric Waxler letter enclosed.) Identify and recruit staff and volunteers from the AmeriCorps programs to serve as state peer technical assistance consultants. We have continued our monthly meetings of AmeriCorps directors and monthly trainings for AmeriCorps program staff representatives. The Directors' Meetings provide a valuable opportunity for information sharing and program assessment. The reviews on the monthly trainings have been generally good. We will expand our technical assistance activities in the summer. Coordinate and consult with MDE on Learn and Serve America grant making. MCSC is continuing to coordinate its activities with MDE Learn and Serve programs. Elaine Gordon regularly participates in MCSC staff activities. In cooperation with the Michigan Service-Learning Council, develop common service learning training elements that can be shared among AmeriCorps, higher education, and Learn and Serve America programs. MCSC has convened a state-wide service-learning coordinating council to support capacitybuilding efforts. The council is in the process of adopting a common standard for school- and community-based service-learning. · - Integrate where possible the MYPACICMF youth action council "Youth Voice" project with Michigan CARES communities. This remains one of the operating assumptions of the CARES process. We anticipate, based on preliminary review, that the CARES community plans will succeed in accomplishing the initial stages of this objective. In addition, the regional collaboration meetings reinforce these efforts. 7 � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

ROMNEY INTRODUCTION Each year, the Governor' s Community Service Awards acknowledge a Michigan citizen who has dedicated his or her life to the promotion of service and volunteerism. That award is called "The Lifetime Achievement Award". This year, we are proud to honor not only one of the state's leaders in the area of community service and volunteerism, but one of the nation's leaders, as well, by naming "The Lifetime Achievement A ward" after him. Governor George W. Romney has served as founding Chairman of the National Volunteer Center since 1974, and has distinguished himself in all three sectors of our society: Business, Govemment,and Voluntary. In addition, he served as chairman and chief executive officer of American Motors during one of that company's most critical and successful periods, and was responsible for the successful merchandising of the "Rambler", the nation's first compact economy car. During World War II, George Romney served as managing director of the Automotive Council for War Production, a private voluntary organization of the entire automotive industry to expedite the output of armaments. He helped to organize the nation's first comprehensive United Way campaign in Detroit, in 1948. In 1959, he organized Citizens for Michigan to achieve a more enlightened electorate capable of resolving pressing concerns of the day. Elected to three terms as Governor of Michigan, he is credited with solving the severe constitutional and financial crises facing the state during that time. In �1965, Governor Romney received the Charles Evan Hughes national A ward for Courageous Leadership in Governmental Service from the Roundtable of Christians and Jews. A candidate for president in 1968, he later served as Secretary of Housing and Urban Development under President Nixon. Also, in 1971, Governor Romney was selected as Churchman of the Year by the Religious · Heritage Foundation of America. Governor George Romney was the founder of the National Volunteer Center which later merged with the Points of Light Foundation. He has served on the board of the National and Community Service Commission, is currently on the board of the Michigan Nonprofit Forum, and is a long-time friend of the Michigan Community Service Commission. . Governor Romney, for all you have done for Michigan and for your longstanding commitment to community service, I am pleased and proud to give you this Lifetime Achievement A ward. I am also honored to inform you and everyone in attendance this evening, that from tonight forward, it shall be known as the "Governor George Romney Lifetime Achievement Community Service A ward". Ladies and gentlemen, join me in welcoming and honoring the Honorable Governor George W. Romney. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections. For more information see, http://dublincore.org/documents/dces/.

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. Sincerely, Michelle Engler A Division of the Michigan Jobs Commission 0--, � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Your example everyday and your involvement in this project will help people understand what AmeriCorps is all about. Remember, you are not only AlneriCorps members, you are AmeriCorps Ambassadors.

Budget 14 Attachments Title Page Budget Page AmeriCorps Guide Michigan's AmeriCorps Technical Assistance Sites �I. What is Michigan's AmeriCorps? A. AmeriCorps*USA AmeriCorps is a national service program to strengthen citizenship and the ethic of service by engaging thousands of Americans on a full- or part-time basis to help communities address their toughest challenges. The Corporation for National Service (CNS) administers AmeriCorps*USA and .works with state and federal agencies to develop service programs and create a community-based national service network. CNS focuses AmeriCorps programs to address the human needs, public safety, education, and environmental issues of the nation. The Michigan Community Service Commission is the administrative agency for Michigan's AmeriCprps. B. Michigan's AmeriCorps Michigan's AmeriCorps is organized around three broad goals: 1. Michigan's AmeriCorps programs will "get things done" by improving the lives of citizens and communities. 2. MCSC is committed to the development of high quality programs that will enhance a statewide service infrastructure. Through this infrastructure programs and people can engage in productive problem solving that meets real community needs while adapting to changing issues and funding availability. 3. Michigan's AmeriCorps in 1995 will emphasize the development of large, multiple-site, high impact programs, incorporating full-time corps members whose work will be demonstrable, valued, and unique to Michigan's communities. C. Michigan Community Service Commission (MCSC) Building community through service and volunteerism has been a cornerstone of MCSC since its inception. MCSC is: Catalyst for positive community change while stimulating innovative programs that meet real community needs through service; Convener of diverse individuals and groups who work toward building community through shared efforts toward common goals; Broker of ideas and resources that encourage collaboration and entrepreneurial approaches to service and volunteer program development. MCSC was created through executive order by Governor John Engler in 1991 and established in state law with the overwhelming bipartisan support of the Michigan Legislature in the summer of 1994. The 25 member nonpartisan commission supports and administers national and community service programs across Michigan. Page 1 �MCSC also funds and supports service-learning programs in which 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. D. The Corporation for National Service (CNS) CNS was created in 1993 through the National and Community Service Trust Act of 1993. Its mission is to engage Americans of all ages and backgrounds in community-based service programs that address the nation's educational, public safety, human, and environmental needs to achieve direct and demonstrable results. In doing so, CNS fosters civic responsibility, strengthens the ties that bind us together as a people, and provides educational opportunities for those who make a substantial commitment to service. II.Michigan's AmeriCorps 1995 A. Application Process For fiscal year (FY) 1995, up to $160 million is available in program funds nationwide. How this figure will translate into funding for programs in Michigan will depend on the quality of the programs submitted. Competition for AmeriCorps program dollars is, and will continue to be, stiff. Michigan's AmeriCorps programs will compete with AmeriCorps programs throughout the nation. The selection of Michigan's AmeriCorps programs is a multi-step process. No more than 11 programs will be selected by MCSC for inclusion in tbe state application to CNS. These programs will compete nationally. MCSC will select programs to participate through the proposal concept process. MCSC will work closely with proposal concept finalists to develop service programs of high quality to include in the state application that will produce substantial impact in communities and otTer meaningful service opportunities. Michigan's AmeriCorps programs require substantial cash and inkind matches. A 25% inkind match is required for corps member support costs (staff salaries, evaluation, equipment, etc.) and a 15% cash match for corps member benefits are required (excluding child care and education awards). Generally speaking, for a 20-mem.ber corps, you can estimate that the corps member benefits will require a $2,000 per corps member cash match. B. Proposal concepts In an effort to keep the application process as "user friendly" as possible, the MCSC will not initially require applicants to submit a final comprehensive proposal. Applicants are asked to submit a proposal concept that is focused to a specific community need and indicates a process for achieving a sustainable program model or a rationale and end date for a limited term project. Proposal concepts will be due to the MCSC office by no later than~ p.m. EST on Friday, February 24, 1995. Absolutely no submissions via fax will be accepted. Applications will be reviewed by a peer panel and MCSC staff. Peer panel and MCSC staff recommendations will be considered by the MCSC Commissioners and given final approval (see section III. Selection Process). Applicants Page 2 �recommended for funding will participate in revision workshops based on the . comments of the reviewers and staff. Applicants will work with MCSC to subrmt a final state proposal to the CNS. The deadline for submission of the final State proposal is Monday, May 1, 1995. Final funding notification from CNS should occur sometime in the late summer of 1995. C. Types of Grants 1. Operating Grants Operating grants support fully developed plans to establish a new community _ · service program or to support, expand, or replicate existing community service · programs. Most awards will cover a period that includes one year of operati~n and a start-up ·phase. Grants may be renewed for succeeding years subject to · annual review and availability of federal appropriations. The grant sizes may vary, however, CNS is unlikely to make a grant award of more than $2 million. 2. Replication Grants CNS may award operating grants for the purpose of replicating successful program models at other sites. Replication is defined as taking an existing program model and using it in a different setting with a different administrative structure. In evaluating applications for replication, CNS will consider, in addition to the criteria that apply to all operating grants, independent evaluation results demonstrating the program's effectiveness at its original site. 3. Education Awards Only Some organizations that can or do operate programs that can support program and corps member costs through other sources may want ·to consider applying for funding of educational awards that may be used to offer their corps members postservice benefits. Applications for education awards only must meet the same quality standards and program requirements as operational grants and be judged to be high-quality according to the selection criteria. There is no award cap on education awards only grants and no extra cash or inkind match is required. D. Funding Priorities 1. In order to strengthen Michigan's AmeriCorps team, MCSC will emphasize the following types of programs regardless of the issue area priorities: a. Full-time Programs -- Programs that can engage diverse populations at fulltime corps member levels will be seen as being able to make a large and sustained impact on communities and community members. In addition, programs must involve at least 20 full-time corps members (or equivalent). Twenty member full-time corps will, therefore, be given priority consideration. b. Multi-Site -- Programs that can provide substantial impacts on communities or regions using multiple geographical sites are preferred as they will have the greatest impact over the greatest area. 2. The State is not required to submit any applications for new programs. It may choose to concentrate resources on existing programs. However, if new Page 3 �applications are submitted, MCSC encourages and the CNS will give preference to, those applications that integrate the following into their proposals: a . Localities for Concentration If empowerment zones and enterprise communities .have been officially designated by HUD by February 28, 1995, the CNS will give preference to applicants who propose to sponsor AmeriCorps service activities in those areas. The CNS will also give preference to areas impacted by military downsizing. b. Program Focus In the first year of funding, the CNS received a iarge number of applications for . programs that addressed all national priority areas-and/or were geographic8lly dispersed, including many with individual placements. As·a result, in 1995, the CNS is seeking applications that focus activities within a limited number of priorities and have a more narrow geographic focus or placement strategy. The CNS believes this will make it easier to achieve significant impacts from service; create a strong sense of program identity (both with AmeriCorps nationally and locally); and be cost-effective - all of which are critical elements of AmeriCorps. This preference is not intended to discourage comprehensive approaches to community problem-solving or to discourage programs in rural areas. For example, the national priorities provide for multiple strategies to address a community's early childhood development needs. In addition, programs can bring AmeriCorps Members together for training and service and can define program size to be consistent with the community. c. Issue Area Priorities For 1994, CNS identified priorities for service activities within each of the four main issue areas established by law (see a. below). For 1995, priorities have been further focused in areas that might not otherwise be addressed or that could have maximum impact (see b. below). Unless there are compelling reasons to do otherwise, new programs proposed for 1995 competitive funding must address one or more of the 1995 priorities. There are specific priorities for Michigan which are listed below (see Michigan Priorities). Funds for programs that address Michigan's Priorities are extremely limited. Greater funds are available for programs that address the national priorities, but competition for these funds is intense. 1. 1994 National Priorities Education • School Readiness - furthering early childhood development. • School Success - improving the education achievement of school-age youth and adults who lack basic academic skills. Public Safety • Crime Control -- improving criminal justice services, law enforcement, and victim services. • Crime-Prevention -- reducing the incidence of violence. Page 4 �Human Needs • Health - providing independent living assistance and home and community- based health care. • Home- rebuilding neighborhoods and helping people who are homeless or hungry. Environment • Community Neighborhood Environment -- reducing community environmental hazards. • Natural Environment -- conserving, restoring, and sustaining natural . habitats. 2. The 1995 wiorities areas and their definitions are detailed below: Public Safety National Prio.rities Community Policing -- Support community policing efforts through building partnerships with neighborhood residents, identifying community problems, and working with police officers on the beat to solve these problems. Victim Assistance - Work with programs in public agencies or communitybased organizations to provide a wide range of support services to victims of crime and to help link victims to other providers of information and services within the justice system. Michigan's Priority Youth Violence - Reducing the incidents of gang related violence through community policing; community-based youth recreation and education programs to keep youth engaged; centers to educate and counsel youth on productive conflict resolution methods and against the use of violence as a method for problem solving. Environment National Priority Neighborhood Environment - Initiate innovative programs in low-income areas that promote sustainable communities by reducing environmental risks and conserving natural resources. Michigan's Priority Natural Resource Restoration and Preservation-- Safeguarding and maintaining the State's environmental resources including parks, forests, animal preserves, and bodies of water, especially the Great Lakes. Page 5 • �Human Needs National Priority Early Childhood Development - Improve the health and school readiness of young children through child care, Head Start, and .other pre-school programs; progranis· to improve parenting skills, and community-based efforts to provide comprehensive services to families with young children. Michigan's Priority Independent Living -- Providing those needed services to individuals or groups who are challenged by either physical or mental difficulties. Examples might include meal delivery, in-home care, and life skills training. Education National Priorities School success - Broaden or coordinate the range of services available through schools such as tutoring, after-school enrichment programs, service-learning, health and child care services and efforts to involve parents in their children's education as part of a comprehensive strategy to improve school achievement and retention. Michigan's Priority Youth During Non-school Hours - Mentoring programs that work in partnership with schools and parents that will encourage youth leadership. School -to-Work Transition- Building linkages between students' education and potential vocations; broadening and coordinating services and organizations to provide pertinent experiential learning experiences to school-age youth; working with schools business and the non profit sector to integrate service and service-learning into the work place and school curriculum to build bridges between education and industry. I I I. Selection Process Evaluation and selection of Michigan's AmeriCorps proposal concepts is a multiple-step process. Initially, proposal concepts will be reviewed by a panel of peers from around Michigan. After the peer review panel makes its recommendations, MCSC staff will review the proposal concepts for their proficiency at addressing Michigan's AmeriCorps' priorities. Final selection of proposals to be included in Michigan's application will be made by the MCSC. A. Criteria During the peer review, the proposal concept is evaluated on its quality, according to the general categories listed below (see AmeriCorps guide). Page 6 �1. Impact (45%) a. Getting Things Done (25%) b. Strengthening Communities (10%) c. Developing Corps members (10%) 2. Other Quality Issues (55%) a. Organizational Capacity (25%) b. Community, State and National Identity (5%) c. Evaluation and Continuous Improvement (10%) d. Costreffectiveness and Sustainability (15%) B. Proposal concept Proposal coDCepts of longer than 13 pages including the title page and budget will not be considered. The proposal concept will be limited to the following: Title Page -limited to one page (title page is provided, but a reasonable reproduction may be substituted) Proposal concept NaiTative - addressing all the key elements limited to the number of pages remaining within the 13-page maximu.m.(see IV. Program Design) Budget Page - limited to 2 pages (budget pages are provided, but a reasonable reproduction may be substituted) C. Technical Compliance Review- Program applicants must show that they.are able to provide a cash match of 15% for the corps member costs for AmeriCorps members and an inkind match of 25% for the program support costs (i.e. training, uniforms, staff salaries, evaluation, etc.). In addition, applicants must be a certified non profit ( 501 (c) 3) in existence for more than one year and have on hand the report of an independent financial auditor conducted within the past two years. IV. Program Design A. Key Elements In an effort to keep the application process as "user friendly" as possible, applicants are asked to submit a proposal concept that briefly describes rather than fully details all aspects of the program. Applicants should focus on the following key elements: 1. provides a clear focus and definition to a program that meets a specific community need(s). Page 7 �2. clearly identifies the measurable results of the program's effort. 3. clearly describes the program's process for meeting the need(s). 4. identifies community resources to be tapped to_meet the need(s). 5. clearly describes what Michigan's AmeriCorps members will be doing to meet the need(s) using community resources. 6. describes the indicators that will be used to determine success of the program and the process to be used for evaluation. 7. indicates a process for achieving a sustainable program model or a rationale arid end date for a limited term project involving a 20member full-time corps. 8. provides a budget that explains proposed expenditures and names the sources contributing financial and/or inkind match support. B. Program Type Applicants have a great deal of flexibility to design programs that will best achieve the goals of: "getting things done" in communities (see insert), strengthening communities, and developing the citizenship and skills of corps members. This flexibility includes the ability to target individuals of a certain age or skill level as corps members, and to place corps members in projects or organize them in teams to operate them. Applicants may find that their program fits more than one type because program characteristics overlap in some areas. For more suggestions on program, "The Principles for High Quality National Service Programs", available from MCSC upon request, offers a wide array of program examples. C. Program Size Programs must be large enough to achieve a demonstrable impact on the community served. Thus, while the actual size of each program may vary depending on the size of the community in which it operates, the design of the program, and other factors, applicants are encouraged to enroll at least 20 full-time equivalent corps members. Experience suggests, however, that large expansions are difficult to manage. Thus, programs should evaluate their present infrastructure and capacity to develop when considering program size. Applicants are encouraged, when considering program size, to examine cost-effectiveness by calculating the recommended cost per corps member (see "Budget"). D. Prohibited Service Prohibited activities may not be performed by corps members in the course of their duties, at the request of program staff, or in a manner that would associate the activities with the national service program Page 8 �or CNS. These activities include: 1. any effort to influence legislation, as prohibited under §501(c) of the Internal Revenue Code of1986 (26 U.S.C. 501); 2. organizing protests, petitions, boycotts, or strikes; 3. assisting, promoting, or deterring union organizing; 4. impairing existing contracts for services or collective bargaining agreements; 5. engaging in partisan political activities, or other activities designed to influence the outcome of an election to any public · office; 6. engaging in religious instruction, conducting worship services, providing instruction as part of a program that includes mandatory religious education or worship, constructing or operating facilities devoted to religious instruction or worship, maintaining facilities primarily or inherently devoted to religious instruction or worship, or engaging in any form of religious proselytization; and 7. providing a direct benefit to (1) a business organized for profit, (2) a labor union, (3) a partisan political organization, (4) a non profit organization that fails to comply with the restrictions contained in §501(c) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, and (5) an organization engaged in the religious activities described above, unless Corporation assistance is not used to support those religious activities. E. Review and Evaluation Proposal concepts will be due to the MCSC office by no later than 5:00 p.m. EST on Friday, February 24, 1995. Absolutely no submissions · via fax will be accepted. Applications will be reviewed by a panel of peers and MCSC staff. MCSC Commissioners will make the final recommendations for finalists. Finalists recommended for funding will participate in an MCSC staff led process to develop the state's final application package. The deadline for submission of the final state proposal is Monday, May 1, 1995. Final funding notification from CNS should occur sometime in the late summer of 1995. V. Budget The enclosed budget pages must be filled out and accompany the proposal concept. A budget narrative is nQ1 required for the initial state review process. MCSC's selection of finalists will be based on the strength of the proposal concept based on the selection criteria (see III. A Criteria), cost effectiveness and technical compliance to match Page 9 �requirements. MCSC selection of a program as a finalist does not constitute final approval of the budget as submitted. Program budgets will be detailed and approved as part of the final state application process. General conditions related to the budget are detailed below. More specific instructions on how to develop your budget are included in the guide attached. A . Grant Size Grant requests may vary in size depending on the type and scope of a proposed program. · Applicants are allowed flexibility in developing their budgets, but within certain restrictions. .CNS recommends that applicants should try to keep grant requests limited to approximately $13,800 per COrpS .m ember per year ($13,8000 X 20 member COrpS = $276,000 requested funding). As a comparison, programs contained in Michigan's 1994 application had an average cost per corps member of $11,800. Applicants should make every attempt to .ensure that proposal concepts are as cost efficient as possible. B. Living Allowance AmeriCorps programs must provide a living allowance between $7945 and $16890 per year to their full-time corps members. Programs are not required to provide a living allowance to part-time corps members. However, should a program chose to provide a living allowance to its part-time corps members, the living allowance should be prorated, but the match requirements will remain constant (see "C. Match Requirements"). C. Match Requirements As mentioned previously, substantial cash and inkind matches from the applicant {and/or partner organizations) are required (see chart below). Program costs (i.e. staff salaries, training, equipment, administration, uniforms, etc.) require at least a 25% inkind match. This match could be met through donation of staff time, office space, materials and/or financial contributions, etc. Corps member benefits (i.e. living allowance, and health care) require at least a 15% cash match. In Michigan, you can estimate that the cash match is approximately $2,000 per corps member (this is excluding child care and education awards which are totally funded by CNS). Applicants must specifically identify the source and levels of the cash and inkind matches. Applicants are not required to attain the cash or inkind matches prior to submission of the proposal concept.

Education Awards Most AmeriCorps members who successfully complete a term of service will receive education awards for each of up to two terms of service. The education award for full-time corps members is $4,725 and the education award for part-time corps members is half of that, or $2,362.50. The education award may be used up to seven years from completion of service to pay for any combination of (1) the costs of attendance at a qualified institution of higher education, (2) the costs of approved school-to-work programs or (3) the costs of repaying qualified student loans. Finally, corps members who have qualified outstanding student loans are eligible to receive forbearance on their payments while they serve, but they need to contact their loan holders to receive this benefit. The CNS will make payments for interest that accrues during the period of forbearance upon successful completion of a corps member's term of service. E. Child Care Programs must make child care available to any full-time eligible corps members who need such assistance in order to participate. CNS will fund child care directly and will pay 100% of the allowance as defined by payment rates of the Child Care and Development Block Grant (CCDBG). CNS, through the National Association for Child Care Resource and Referral Agencies (NACCRRA), will provide technical assistance to programs in determining corps member eligibility, provider eligibility and child care allowance. NACCRRA, on behalf of the CNS, will also make payments to the child care providers directly. Corps member eligibility for child care is based on need. CNS defines need, to be consistent with the Child Care and Development Block Grant Act of 1990, as follows: Page 11 �1. total f8mily income of the corps member must be less than 75% of the State median income, or as defined by the State under CCDBG guidelines; 2. the corps member must reside with and be a parent or guardian of a child under the age of 13; 3. at the time of acceptance into the program, the corps member must not be receiving child care assistance from another source, including a parent or guardian, which would continue to be provided while the corps member serves in the program, unless the corps member would become ineligible for child care by virtue of enrolling in the program; and 4. the corps member certifies that he or she needs child care in order to participate in the program. The grantee must provide an estimate of the number of corps members and the number of their children needing child care, and the CNS will arrange for direct payment to qualified child care providers. · E. Unemployment Insurance Liability AmeriCorps members are subject to unemployment insurance benefits and programs to unemployment insurance taxes (see Americorps guide attached).

Item B: Staff The portion of Bt.afi costs that are attributed directly to the operation of an AmeriCor:ps promm or project. Staff that are indirectly involved in the management or operation of the applicant organization may only be funded through the administrative cost section of the budget. Item C: Operational Costs that are directly related to operating the AmeriCor:ps promm. Travel Costs associated with tranBJ)ortation. lodging. subsistence and other related expenses for staff and AmeriCor:ps Corps member outside their local service Bite. Each applicant must also add an additional $2000 to this line item to cover the cost of CNS-sponsored technical assistance meetings. Transportation Costs associated with traveling locally such as bus passes to local sites. miles reimbursement for use of a car. etc. Supplies Funds for the purchase of supplies that would not be considered equipment and tend to be more expendable (see equipment). Equipment Funds for the purchase of equipment are limited to 10% of the total grant amount (line items A-F). AnY single item costing more than $1.000 must be listed. Other Allowable costs in this section may include space rental (for sites where programs are run; national office space rental is unallowable), utilities, and telephone expenses that are directly and specifically used for AmeriCorps Corps member and directly involve staff. They must be equitably prorated if shared with other projects or activities. Item D: Internal Evaluation Costs for activities related to program evaluation, including additional staff time not otherwise budgeted, use of evaluation consultants, purchase of instrumentation and other costs specifically for this activity. Item E: Administration No more than 5% of the total grant amount may be used to pay for admjnistratiye costs. Administrative costs are expenses associated with the overall administration of an AmeriCorps program. These costs relate to the Page 17 �• • support of a program's general operations and not to expenses identified with a specific program or project . Administrative costs iDclude the following: ( 1) indirect costs such as legal staff, central management and support functions that are not specifically assigned to projects on an hourly or use basis but are accumulated as a whole and proportionately spread across projects usually as a percentage of the project costs; (2) costs for financial, accounting, auditing, internal evaluations (except as in the allowable costs described below), and contracting functions; (3) costs for insurance that protects the entity that operates the program; (4) the portion of the salaries and benefits of the director and any other program administrative staff equal to the portion of time that is not spent in support of specific project objectives, such as recruiting, training, placing, or supervising corps members. Administrative costs do not iDclude allowable costs directly related to program or project operations, such as: (1) costs for corps members, including living allowances, insurance payments, and expenses for training and travel; (2) costs for staff who recruit, train, place, or supervise corps member; (e.g. salaries, benefits, training and travel expenses if the purpose is for a specific program or project; (3) costs for independent evaluations and internal evaluations that cover only the funded program or project. Particular costs, such as those associated with staff who perform both administrative and program functions, may be prorated between administrative and program costs if included in the budget and approved by an AmeriCorps grants officer. Items A-E must be matched at least 25% by the grantee with one or more of the following sources: cash, in-kind services, other Federal funds, State funds, or other funds. ltemF All budget items listed in item F. must have, at a minimum, a 15% cash match. Except for health care, matches cannot be made with other federal funds. Living Allowance On the budget form, state the number of participants who will be receiving a living allowance in each of the appropriate categories as determined by the number of service hours they expect to complete in the year (e.g. 20 fulltime, 10 part-time). Programs should only budget part-time Member costs for the current operating year. For example, if a part-time corps member Page 18 �will be completing his/her service hoUr& over two years, the budget should only reflect the first year cost, or 450 hours. Full-Time Participants Generally, all full-time corps member must receive a living allowance between $7,945 and $15,890. CNS will fund only 85% of the minimum living allowance amount ($7,945 X 85%), or $6,753. Programs that want to provide a higher living allowance in excess of $7,945 must provide a grantee match for all funds over $6,753. For example, a program desiring to provide an $8,000 living allowance to its participants would have to provide $1,24 7 match if it requested ·the maximum CNS match of $6,753. Note that this $1,247 match must come from non-federal sources. Part-Time Proration Programs are not required to pay part-time corps members living allowances but if programs decide to do so, they could prorate the full-time living allowance. This calculation is [0 up to $7,945 x (#of service hours for program year+1700 service hours)]. One Year Part-Time Cox:ps members Part-time corps members completing 900 hours of service in one year could receive up to $4,206 for the year with the maximum CNS·match being $3,575 ($4,206 x 85%). The $4,206 was calculated by multiplying $7,945 by (900 service hours/1700 service hours). Multi-Year Part-Time Cox:ps member Programs with part-time corps members completing their service in two years could prorate the part-time living allowance by splitting the cost of the two years and including that figure in the first-year budget. Liyin~ Allowances In Excess Of Tbe Maxjmum As with full-time corps members, programs may provide a higher living allowance for their part-time Corps members but must do so with their own funds. For example, a program wishing to provide $7,000 in living allowances to their one year part-time corps members would have to provide $3,425 of their own match if they request the maximum CNS share of$3,575. FICA All programs must pay FICA for any corps member receiving a living allowance. The program's share of FICA should be calculated at 7.65% of the total amount of the living allowance and must be prorated in the same proportion as CNS and Grantee match. For example, a grantee providing $7,945 to its full-time corps members with CNS providing an 85% match ($6,573) and the grantee providing a 15% match ($1,372) would provide a FICA match of $105 ($1,372 X 7.65%) while CNS would provide a FICA match of$503 ($6,573 X 7.65%). Page 19 ' �• Unemployment Insurance The State of Michigan has determined that until a change in the federal statute (National and Community Service Trust Act of 1993), AmeriCorps members are subject to unemployment insurance. For the purposes of the proposal concept, applicants will not be required to calculate unemployment insurance costs into the budget. Finalists will be required to calculate unemployment insurance costs for inclusion in the state application. Workers' Compensation Michigan requires workers' compensation for Michigan's AmeriCorps . members. Prograins must check with their insurance carrier, the Michigan Department of Labor or MCSC to determine the proper rate. Health Care Programs with existing health benefit policies for their full-time corps membem that meet minimum requirements should request 85% of those funds from CNS. The remainder must be matched in cash by the grantee. CNS will not pay for dependent coverage. CNS Health Care Programs without existing health coverage or with coverage that does not meet the minimum requirements must select the AmeriCorps Member Health Care Policy. The cost of this policy is currently established at $1,200 per full-time Member. CNS will fund 85% of these expenses, or $1,020 per full-time Member. The remaining amount must be matched in cash by the grantee. Item G: Child Care Costs Programs should estimate the number of eligible corps members and children requiring child care assistance. Because CNS will fund all child care expenses for eligible corps members directly, it is not requiring a dollar estimate. However, programs that can provide any of their own funds for child care, should indicate that amount in this section. Item H: Education Awards Programs should provide the number of new full-time and part-time corps members receiving education awards. These costs should be added into any calculation. nm Page 20 �.

Members of AmeriCorps and the community will give a day of service to address community environmental needs in southwest Detroit. The Signature Service Project offers Corpsmembers a chance to learn about the rich culture of Detroit and to be a part of exciting community-building activities. The activities are organized around several components : Kick-off, Service Projects, and Closing Ceremony. Kick-off The Michigan's AmeriCorps Signature Project will begin with an early morning kick-off event at Hart Plaza. More than 200 AmeriCorps members will participate in calisthenics to help create a sense of unity and sustain an energetic feeling as Corpsmembers prepare for the physical activities of the day . Joining the corpsmembers at the Kick-off will be motivational speaker and former international basketball player Reginald Brown, and community development activist Steven Reifman to highlight how important it is for all citizens to become involved with community improvement and revitalization projects. Service Projects AmeriCorps members and more than 100 other community volunteers will fan out to participate in service projects in 20 sites across southwest Detroit working to improve the physical environment of that community. Projects include cleaning up vacant lots, removing graffiti and painting murals, removing used tires, and landscaping community parks and play lots. More than 40 local businesses, non-profit agencies, religious institutions, schools, and neighborhood groups have joined together to make this a special day for the citizens of southwest Detroit. Closina= Ceremony . Corpsmembers will reflect on their time working with fellow corpsmembers and the community, sharing a common experience, and learning while giving time and service to the Detroit community. BACKGROUND INFORMATION Michigan's AmeriCorps is about getting things done and engaging the energy and idealism of Michigan's citizens in meeting the most critical educational, public safety, human, and environmental needs of our communities. Michigan's AmeriCorps has nine programs, located in Detroit, Lansing, Flint, Grand Rapids, Pontiac, Saginaw, Shelby, and Ypsilanti. These programs enable hundreds of AmeriCorps members to serve in a variety of ways including tutoring disadvantaged youth, policing our communities, rehabilitating public parks, and mentoring developmentally disabled youth. AmeriCorps members serve on a full-time or part-time basis before, during or after post-secondary education. They receive a living allowance while serving, and upon successful completion of a term of service, an educational award. Michigan's AmeriCorps members will attend a two day training and service program in Detroit on April 28-29. More than 200 Corpsmembers from across the state will participate in the event sponsored by the Michigan Community Service Commission. Part of the two day training will include the Michigan's AmeriCorps Signature Service Project. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Worksite Location & Description St. Andrew C.B. Patrol & RYC Council Team Location: Vacant lot, on Martin near Wagner (nearest address north of site 5954 Martin, address · south of site 6844 Wagner) Summary: The Martin Street lot has been an eyesore for the community over the past few years. Not only have companies been dumping there, but it has also become a dumping ground for many individuals. Apart from over 600 or more tires on this site, there are couches, broken furniture of various kinds, and multitudes of trash and debris which endanger children playing at the nearby park. The RYC Council and St. Andrew's CB Patrol, who were involved with Munger Middle and Chadsey High Schools to clean up and paint at Dingeman Field last year, will be trying to clear away as much of the tires and debris as possible. The organizations are looking forward to working with the AmeriCorp volunteer to make a difference in the community.

Although Boysville owns this property, it is consistently cluttered by illegal dumpers who leave behind bags of garbage, household appliances, and used tires. A clean up of the lot will once again show the community that we respect the property in Detroit and are willing to beautify those areas often disregarded.
