In doing so, the Corporation will foster civic responsibility, strengthen the ties that bind us together as a people, and provide educational opportunity for those who make a .substantial commitment to service. PURPOSE The proposed bill, entitled the National and Community Service Amendments Act of 1998, will extend and amend national service legislation, including the National and Community Service Act of 1990 and the Domestic Volunteer Service Act of 1973, to further the Corporation' s mission. In developing this legislation, the Corporation identified four major goals: ( 1) devolve more authority and provide greater flexibility to states and local communities in implementing national service programs; (2) streamline the delivery system, thereby resulting in reduced costs and improved efficiencies; (3) increase coordination among national and community service programs authorized under these acts as well as those carried out by states and local communities and organizations; and (4) modify and improve programs based on the experience developed over the last several years. In addition, this bill makes a number of technical revisions to the existing statutes. This proposed legislation would reauthorize the major national service programs for fiscal years 1998 through 2002. These programs include: • AmeriCorps, including AmeriCorps*State, which provides grants to State Commissions on National and Community Service appointed by Governors; AmeriCorps*National, which provides direct grants to national organizations; AmeriCorps*VISTA (Volunteers in Service to America); and AmeriCorps*NCCC (National Civilian Community Corps); • Learn and Serve America, including Elementary and Secondary Education, CommunityBased, and Higher Education programs; rage I of5 DRAFT �• The National Senior Service Corps, including the Retired and Senior Volunteer Program, the Foster Grandparent Program, and the Senior Companion Program; • Appropriations for the Points of Light Foundation; and • Demonstration, training and technical assistance, evaluations, and other support services necessary to prov!de for the infrastructure and quality improvement necessary to enable national service programs to be of highest possible quality. SUMMARY OF SPECIFIC PROPOSALS IN THE BILL A new authority -- Service Collaboration Agreements -- will provide a means for improving the planning and administration of the Corporation' s national service programs in a state. The authority will be used selectively and voluntarily, and tailored to the circumstances of those states wishing to participate. Service agreements will be made with Governors and will incorporate performance goals and indicators. Changes affecting AmeriCorps*State and National include: • Explicit authority for making AmeriCorps grants to federal agencies is removed. • The distribution of AmeriCorps grant funds (two-thirds for AmeriCorps*State and one-third for AmeriCorps*National) remains unchanged. However, the relative amounts of AmeriCorps*State moneys distributed to a State Commission on a formula basis ("formula") versus the national competition for submissions by State Commissions ("competitive") are changed from the current 50/50 to 60/40 in 1999; 65/35 in 2000; and 70/30 thereafter. • Recruiting, training, and supervising unpaid volunteers by AmeriCorps members is made an explicit priority. • The Corporation·s average budgeted costs per AmeriCorps member is reduced; the ceiling is $16,000 for programs funded in fiscal year 1998 and $15,000 (adjusted for inflation) thereafter.

Every year tons of trash is illegally dumped in Michigan's forests. The goal of the Adopt A Forest (AAF) program is to enhance the enjoyment of public forest lands by eliminating illegal dumping and to increase the awareness of recycling opportunities for waste materials found . In an effort to increase public awareness of the illegal dumping problem, the Michigan Community Service Commission (MCSC), in partnership with the Michigan Coalition for Clean Forests (sponsored by Michigan United Conservation Clubs, the United States Forest Service, the Department of Natural Resources, the Department of Environmental Quality, and others) is coordinating a statewide forest/public land cleanup during the week of May 8 -17, 1998. The goal of the statewide effort is to reinforce awareness of the problem of illegal dumping while uniting volunteers in an effort to clean the public lands. Three sites in northern Michigan will be set up for overnight stays. Michigan's AmeriCorps members from across the state will spend two days at these sites participating in educational training and forest cleanup work in conjunction with the Michigan's AmeriCorps annual signature service project. In addition to the overnight sites, we are encouraging existing AAF adopters, United States Forest managers, Michigan State Park managers, and others from across the state, to host one-day cleanup projects in conjunction with the statewide cleanup effort. These projects will be coordinated locally, using local volunteers. Michigan Coalition for Clean Forests (MCCF) is currently collecting information on the locations, dates, time, etc. of the one-day sites. In addition to current local volunteers, the one-day projects will be looking to involve a number of new volunteers (from schools, national service programs, Volunteer Centers, and other organizations) who are not currently involved in Adopt A Forest/MCCF efforts. MCSC has created the attached form in order to collect information on potential new volunteers. If you have any questions regarding the statewide forest/public land cleanup, please call Lindy Reurink at (517) 335-4295.

Bldg ., 4th Floor Michigan 48913 (517) 335-4295 (517) 373-4977 MEMORANDUM TO: Michigan Community Service Commission FROM: Garry Gross , Director of Administration ~- , Michigan Community Service Commission~ RE: Administrative Update DATE: April 20, 1998 Attached is the comparative financial statement for the quarter ending March 31, 1998. Some of the changes from the last quarter are as follows. In the State GF/GP, we have granted out $986,500 in Volunteer Investment Grants (VIG). This leaves us $13,500 in our VIG grant line. We are currently looking at ways of utilizing these remaining funds. Also in the State GF/GP, we took a negative appropriation of $11,500 due to a large decrease in retirement costs charged from the Department of Management and Budget. As we are currently well under our salaries and benefits line, this decrease will not affect us. The AmeriCorps line has been adjusted to reflect the final figures. We granted out more funds than we had in our formula allotment for the year. Therefore, we have increased the prior year carryover to cover this increase. This is typical for us in the AmeriCorps line. Most of our programs do not utilize their full funding for the year so we are allowed to carry it forward for the next funding year. This statement reflects the first half of the year. As you can see, we are currently well under our projected budget. I will be meeting will the Michigan Jobs Commission Budget Office in the next week to review our spending and make any necessary adjustments to our line items. It is important to note than we typically expend a larger portion of our budget during the spring and summer time frame. As I will not be at the Commission meeting, please call me at the office if you have any questions on the comparative financial statement or any other financial/administrative questions at (517) 3354295. cc: Terry Pruitt A Divis ion of the Michigan Jobs Commi ssion 0& ~~ ~·- �Michigan Community Service Commission Comparative Financial Statement/FY 98 As of March 31, 1998 STATE FUNDS GF/GP Budget YTD Actual TOTALS PRIVATE & FOUNDATION FUNDS FEDERAL FUNDS Volunteer Awareness Budget YTD Actual Operational Budget YTD Actual P-DAT Budget YTD Actual 354 ,052 0 120 , 000 30 000 120 ,000 30 000 4 , 294 ,342 0 354 ,052 150 000 150 000 Learn & Serve Bl.dget YTD Actual Michigan CARES Budget YTD Actual 3 . 950.871 343 . 471 151 ,500 0 151 ,500 91 ,000 126 756 91,000 1 26 756 0 21 429 21 429 8.250 8 .250 0 3.200 4 294 342 4 294 342 1 51 500 1 51 500 21 7 756 217 756 21 429 21 42 9 8 . 250 8 . 250 3 ,200 4,294,342 4,294,342 1 34,736 115,499 0 0 0 0 4 294 342 4 294 342 134 736 11 5 499 0 93 .000 AmeriCorps Budget YTD Actual Michigan CAAES-2 Budget YTD Actual l egislative Bktast Budget YTD Actual State ED grant Budge!

Bldg ., 4th Floor Michig an 48913 (517) 335-4295 (517) 373-4977 April 20, 1998 Q TO: Michigan Community Service Commission FROM: Terry Pruitt, Interim Executive Director SUBJECT: Approval of Situation Waiver for FIA AmeriCorps Members ~ (,I..VI}vQ ~u A situation has surfaced with FIA AmeriCorps members which requires formal action on the part of the Commission. As part of the state's welfare reform initiative, FIA recruits AmeriCorps members from public assistance caseloads. This program's overall mission is to help FIA clients to move from welfare to work. The state FIA AmeriCorps Program provides a variety of training and educational opportunities for Corps members. These individuals are encouraged to seek employment opportunities. Many of the current FIA AmeriCorps members will be completing their two years of national service and are actively seeking employment. This may mean that some will want to take an available job prior to the end of their term of service. The Corporation for National Service permits AmeriCorps members to receive a pro-rated educational award when the member is released early from participation due to "compelling personal circumstances". In order to be eligible for a pro-rated educational award a member must have served a minimum of 15% of their term of service. As a general rule, leaving early to obtain employment has not been viewed as a "compelling personal circumstance". However, the Commission has the authority to determine whether leaving for employment constitutes a compelling personal circumstance. To accommodate this situation I am recommending the Commission approve the following situational waiver pertaining to "compelling personal circumstance" for FIA AmeriCorps members who are released from the program for employment: - FIA AmeriCorps members will be eligible for a pro-rated educational award when they are released from the program early to begin employment. In order to receive and education award the FIA AmeriCorps members must complete 50% of the first year of national service. In the second year of national service, the member must complete a minimum of 15% of their service requirement. This policy change has been requested by FIA management. The above language has been reviewed and approved by FIA AmeriCorps program management.

The primary goal of the program is to decrease the incidence of aggression, assault and violence within the school environment. Members will be individually placed and will implement violence prevention programs such as "Teaching Students to be Peacemakers," Peer Empowerment, Peer Mediation and Peer Helper. It is anticipated that each site may have unique needs that can be addressed by the AmeriCorps members, but the focus will remain violence prevention and conflict resolution. STRENGTHS • The need within the school community was well documented with data and statistics. Also, it was clear what role the AmeriCorps members will play in meeting the needs. • The proposal includes a well developed plan for recruiting and supervising the members. • Even though the members will be individually placed, the program will establish a common understanding of roles and expectations between corpsmembers and the on-site supervisors. • The program has a strong plan to integrate members into the school system. • The member training is broad-based and uses community experts from various fields with the ISD. • The program will have an advisory committee with broad community representation. The committee will help connect other community efforts to the services being proved by the AmeriCorps members. • The proposal incorporates the AmeriCorps program into Char-Em ISD's existing evaluation system with an emphasis on continuous improvement. • Char-Em ISD provides strong administrative support for the program. • The proposal demonstrates that Char-Em ISD has the organizational capacity to coordinate the program and administer the grant. • The FfE rate for this program is $11,245 which is lower than the MCSC and CNS target of $11,250. WEAKNESSES • Getting Things Done Objective #1, Member Development Objective #1, Member Development Objective #2, and Community Strengthening Objective #3 need to be revised. • The proposal did not describe how "it will involve corpsmembers in recruiting and coordinating nonstipended community volunteers. • The proposal needs to elaborate on efforts to build community support for the program beyond the grant funding cycle. 1998-99 FUNDING REQUEST: $191,159 STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS Staff recommends that this proposal be included in the formula package for submission to CNS. �MICHIGAN COMMUNITY SERVICE COMMISSION Proposal Review Form DATE: April 24, 1998 GRANT CATEGORY: Michigan's AmeriCorps LEGAL APPLICANT: Creston Neighborhood Association NUMBER OF 1998-99 AMERICORPS STATE MEMBERS: 5 Ff _ _ _ PT _ _ 2YR.PT _ _Summer Only DESCRIPTION The Creston Community Action Corps is designed to more fully engage neighborhood residents in the leadership of five community institutions: three public schools, a community health care center, and a neighborhood association. Five Michigan's AmeriCorps members will be trained in community organizing and will recruit, train, and engage 170 neighborhood volunteers to mentor 90 educationally at-risk students, assist 30 low-income households in adopting pre-identified health maintenance practices, and bring five properties owned by low-income residents into compliance with city housing and nuisance codes. STRENGTHS • The proposal demonstrated the need for the program. • The program aims to generate 170 new community volunteers to provide needed services in the neighborhood. • The program is geographically concentrated in the Creston neighborhood. • The program has a strong recruitment and member development plan. • The applicant organization is well connected to a variety of state and national initiatives and has the ability to connect them in a coordinated fashion. • The program will be connected to America's Promise and other MCSC and CNS programs. • The applicant organization has previous experience administering federal and MCSC grants. • The applicant organization has a proven history of generating funds. They receive a variety of support from diverse sources. • The proposal provided a clear plan for sustainability for the program.

WEAKNESSES: • Considering the proposed size of the program (a low number of members are being requested), it is not clear what value the AmeriCorps members' service will add. It appears that the members will simply augment current staff. • It is not clear how the proposed service activities differ from the existing services currently provided by volunteers and staff. • The need statement was somewhat vague. The proposal needed to describe the need within the community rather than detailing the existing services that are being provided. For example, provide the percentage of those abused in the community, the number currently not being served, the need for additional support services, etc. • The paper does not describe the measurable impact of the program on the identified need and how the community will be improved as a result of the proposed program. • The impact of the program should focus on the improvement of client behavior (as a result of the corpsmembers' service) rather than an enhanced evaluation system. Although the members can play a limited role in documenting services delivered, it is not appropriate for them to conduct the program's evaluation. • The applicant did not detail the skills members will need to possess to perform their service activities. • It is unclear how community volunteers are currently used within the organization and how the corpsmembers will support this. • Please elaborate on how the program will link the service projects to other existing efforts. Also, please elaborate on the joint recruitment as described in the Concept Paper. The proposal needs to discuss the existing partnerships that Every Woman's Place has • within the community. How are these partnerships being tapped with regard to the proposed program? Additionally, as the members provide rnentoring and tutoring services, is it possible that other non profits may be able to assist with the training, curriculum, etc.? • Although the proposal briefly describes the evaluation tools to be used, the paper does not describe the overall system that will be used to monitor progress toward the program's armual objectives. The applicant did not elaborate on the tools/methods to be used to �• • • • • • • • evaluate the program. The proposal did not describe how regular feedback will be obtained from the primary stakeholders and used to improve the overall quality of the program. The paper does not describe how the program will incorporate continuous improvement as a primary component. The proposal indicates that the objectives for the corpsmembers are already established. It appears, however, that these are overall objectives for Every Woman's Place. The program needs objectives and member service activities that are specific to the proposed program. The size and structure of the applicant organization and the relationship of the proposed program within that structure is unclear. The applicant did not identify the federal grants that the applicant organization has administered. The paper did not describe what plans exist to exceed the match and how the work of the program will continue beyond the grant term. There appears to be good community support for Every Woman's Place, however, it is not clear what support will be provided for the proposed program and the program's objectives. The program's cost per full-time equivalent (FTE) member is above the MCSC and CNS target of $11,250. 1998-99 FUNDING REQUEST: $62,631 STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS: The staff does not recommend that the proposal be included in the CNS formula funding package. �Michigan Community Service Commission Proposal Review Form DATE: April24, 1998 LEGAL APPLICANT: GRANT CATEGORY: Michigan's AmeriCorps Lutheran Social Services Number of 1998-99 AmeriCorps Members: --~2=0~__FT_______ 1 Yr. PT 2 Yr. PT _ __ Summer Only DESCRIPTION: The AmeriCorps program would address unmet needs identified in a community assessement of Alger and Marquette counties. As a collaboration between eleven community non-profit agencies, the program would develop programs and activities that directly respond to the following objectives: building partnerships between schools, parents, and community; developing a human services database and community helpline; assisting with the implementation of the goals of the President's Summit and continuing with interagency efforts already underway to ensure the basic needs of Alger and Marquette county residents are met. STRENGTHS: • The proposal provided a well developed and organized program design. • The roles and responsibilities within the program are clear. • There appears to be strong collaboration with the HSCB and existing agencies in the community. • The needs assessment identified clear deficiencies in the community. • The proposal provided an extensive orientation and training plan for the members. • The use oft-shirts and business cards will help in creating a local identity for the program. • There appears to be an overall awareness that program stakeholder need to be involved in the evaluation process. • The applicant organization has existing relationships with partner organizations. • The applicant organization has previous experience in administering an Michigan's AmeriCorps program. • The partner organizations will contribute the financial match required for the program. WEAKNESSES: • The proposed program's focus was extremely broad. It was not clear how the proposed activities fit under the human service need area. • The proposal proposes a potpourri of activity with very little overall program focus . The applicant needed to narrow the scope of the program activity. It appears as if the program would allow any agency to have members with little attention given to overall program focus. • The paper did not describe the measurable impact of the program on the community need and how the community will be improved as a result of the program. • The corpsmembers were spread too thin across the various program objectives. Members assigned to the same site may be involved in a different service activities. This presented a concern regarding overall program impact. As a result, the program would not have a significant impact in a need area with the proposed program design. • Additionally, the proposed design and structure of the program would create an administrative overload (i.e. evaluation, supervision, training, etc.) • The proposal did not to describe the role of each agency in the program. • In reviewing the proposal, it was not clear how the program would provide for effective �• • • • • • • • • collaboration considering the members each serve at separate sites providing very distinct services. Proposal did not elaborate on the linkages between the proposed program and other MCSC and CNS programs. The paper did not describe how regular feedback would be obtained from the primary stakeholders and used to improve the overall quality of the program. It was not clear how often individual sites would be monitored. Who would monitor the sites? What are the consequences if a site was not making adequate progress or was not in compliance with the terms of the grant? It was not clear how the sites would report on their progress toward the program objectives. The proposal needed to describe a comprehensive evaluation system. The program proposed a very broad range of activities and the program will need to describe the overall evaluation system that ensures that evaluation is consistent across all sites. It is unclear what the proposed program's relationship to the overall structure of the applicant organization is. The proposal needed to describe the accomplishments and experience of the staff that would administer the proposed program. In reviewing the proposal, it was not clear that adequate staffing would be provided for the program. With the number of sites being proposed the program needs a full-time program coordinator. 1998-99 FUNDING REQUEST: $228,593 STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS: MCSC staff does not recommend that this proposal be included in the formula package for submission to CNS. �FORMULA RENEWAL �MICHIGAN COMMUNITY SERVICE COMMISSION Proposal Review Form DATE: April24, 1998 American Red Cross PROPOSAL: NUMBER OF GRANT CATEGORY: Michigan's AmeriCorps 1998-99 AMERICORPS MEMBERS: _ __,1=0_ _ Ff _ _ _ PT _ _ _ 2Yr.PT DESCRIPTION The primary focus of the AmeriCorps Youth Excellence in Service (YES) Program is the promotion of volunteerism among youth and generating youth to participate in community problem-solving. The program identifies and develops volunteer opportunities for 500 at-risk youth in Highland Park. AmeriCorps members work with community agencies to get youth involved in tutoring and mentoring, homework and reading projects, latchkey programs, HIV/AIDS education and outreach. The corpsmembers also support and recognize youth volunteer efforts. STRENGTHS • • • • • The program has made good progress recruiting volunteers to conduct peer tutorial programs.

The program has involved members and volunteers in service projects. The FfE rate for this program is $11,341. This is slightly higher than the MCSC and CNS . target. WEAKNESSES • • • • • • • • • Incomplete objective statements were submitted in the progress report. Recruitment activities of the members are not stated in the year 2/3 plan. The program needs to elaborate on the service activities of the members and the obstacles encountered in accomplishing activities. The applicant did not list progress toward or obstacles eoncountered in meeting their strengthening communities objectives. The program has submitted incomplete and insufficient data in the progress to date reports. Deadlines for reporting requirements have not been met on a consistent basis. Evaluation and continuous improvement were not addressed in the renewal application. Recruiting and training of members for year 2/3 were not addressed in the renewal application.

AmeriCorps members have developed enrichment programs that had not previously existed in this rural area. The program has exceeded the target of providing 300 teens with recreational and educational opportunities to reduce teen substance abuse, juvenile delinquency, truancy and drop-outs. In the second quarter alone, 538 students have participated in regularly scheduled activities. Members have successfully recruited volunteers and trained them at the Center for Environmental Outreach to make classroom presentations to 510 students on environmental enrichment learning opportunities. Members have planned and coordinated a community-based, area-wide signature service project (Alcohol Free Weekend) involving over 100 businesses and 600 teens. This event helped the program secure additional grants from the Michigan Prevention Network. The program has a good monitoring system in place. Regular feedback from the primary stakeholders is incorporated to improve the overall quality of the program. Program design for year 2/3, builds on the successes of year 1. There is a strong program design in place for year 2/3. The FTE rate for this program is $11,150. This is below MCSC and CNS's targets.

CONTINUOUS IMPROVEMENT ITEMS • The program cannot provide two-year part-time members with a living allowance. If you want to provide part-time members with a living allowance they must be one-year part-time members. • The program needs to elaborate on the overall monitoring plan. Please describe who is responsible for the monitoring and how often site visits will occur. • The program needs to describe how it will incorporate continuous improvement as a primary component throughout the program year. • The program FfE rate is $12,982 which is a $5,000 increase over last year. This is a result of eliminating the summer component and converting the one year part-time positions into two year parttime positions. The FfE rate must be reduced to last year's FfE rate. • The program needs to indicate if and when criminal background checks are performed. 1998-99 FUNDING REQUEST: $ 103,856 STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS Staff recommends that this proposal be included in the formula package submitted to the Corporation for National Service, provided the program fully addresses the issues outlined to them in the staff review feedback. �MICHIGAN COMMUNITY SERVICE COMMISSION Proposal Review Form DATE: April24, 1998 LEGAL APPLICANT: NUMBER OF GRANT CATEGORY: Michigan's AmeriCorps Fitzgerald's FOCUS 1998-99 AMERICORPS MEMBERS: -~1=0- Ff _ ____,4_ PT _ _ _ 2 Yr. PT ____ Summer Only DESCRIPTION In Year Two, FOCUS: Fitzgerald's AmeriCorps will engage 360 students in community service projects and encourage service-learning as an interactive way to teach problem solving, cooperative work/play techniques, and defining community needs. FOCUS will also design and implement programs that will involve 200 students in academic support, educational, and recreational activities. The program will also recruit 500 community volunteers to participate in community service activities and projects. STRENGTHS • • • The program has made every effort to address the Michigan Community Service Commission's concerns. To date, the program has taken the following steps: • Hired and trained a new program coordinator. • Provided an extensive program orientation to the site supervisors. • Strengthened member supervision and the lines of communication through increased number of site visits; youth member activity logs; and frequent and regular meetings among the members, site supervisors and program coordinator. The program has worked with Project STAR to clarify and strengthen their objectives. The program has enrolled 158 children to participate in its after-school program. This is more than 50% of the annual goal. WEAKNESSES • • • • • • It is not clear what role the AmeriCorps members will play in the program's efforts to support the America Reads initiative. The program needs to provide additional detail about the impact it hopes to have in this area. The program needs to strengthen its evaluation system. It is not clear how the program's evaluation system will access the quality of service delivered and the overall impact of the service provided. It is not clear how the program will obtain regular feedback from the primary stakeholders. It is not clear how continuous improvement will be incorporated as a primary component. Overall, the program needs to insure that their evaluation adequately captures their quantifiable and qualitative impact of the services rendered by the members. The program is currently working with Project STAR. Michigan Community Service Commission (MCSC) anticipates the program will continue to make improvements in this area. 1998-99 FUNDING REQUEST: $131,030 STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS While MCSC is pleased with the program's efforts to address the overall concerns, the program must continue to demonstrate progress during the current program year. Therefore, staff recommends provisional funding at the requested level. If the program does not address the outstanding concerns a new grant will not be issued. �MICHIGAN COMMUNITY SERVICE COMMISSION Proposal Review Form DATE: April24, 1998 GRANT CATEGORY: Michigan's ArneriCorps LEGAL APPLICANT: Grand Rapids Service Corps NUMBER OF 1998-99 23 AMERICORPS MEMBERS: FT _ _ _ PT _ _ _ 2Yr.PT ____ Summer Only DESCRIPTION The Grand Rapids Service Corps (GRSC) brings together young adults, ages 17-24, from diverse backgrounds for a challenging year of full-time community service. The GRSC, in cooperation with community and neighborhood organizations, will develop and implement service projects in order to build a stronger community and tap into the idealism and energy of corpsmembers to develop leadership skills, meet community needs, and generate a strong sense of civic responsibility. The GRSC is committed to having an impact on children in neighborhoods with disproportionate poverty, unemployment, and illiteracy rates. The teams will organize and facilitate homework groups, work with senior citizens who wish to continue living in their own homes, a violenceprevention program at Buchanan Elementary School (which has been plagued by playground and neighborhood conflicts) and neighborhood cleanup and restoration programs. STRENGTHS • • • • The members have provided 3,181 tutorial hours to 118 students in four schools. The FTE cost per member is $8,881. This is below the CNS and MCSC target of $11,250. The program has good member retention rates. The program has strong local support. CONTINUOUS IMPROVEMENT ITEMS • • • • • While the program has taken initial steps to address the Michigan Community Service Commission's (MCSC) ongoing concerns, there is still a real concern regarding overall program management. The program director appears overwhelmed with numerous fiscal, administrative, and programmatic responsibilities. Currently there is a part-time administrative assistant. This position will move to full-time status in the next quarter, but the program should seek additional support from the board members to resolve the organizational capacity issues. MCSC has arranged a meeting with the GRSC program staff to discuss these concerns and possible resolutions. Overall program reporting has been inadequate. Reports have arrived late and incomplete. The program needs to strengthen its evaluation system. The assessment tools need to provide more quantifiable information on the program impact. It is not clear how the program's evaluation system will access the quality of service delivered and determine stakeholder satisfaction. It is not clear how continuous improvement will be incorporated on an on-going basis. 1998-99 FUNDING REOUEST: $204,264 STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS Overall, the staff has serious concerns about this program. This program has been in operation for four years yet continues to have major administrative challenges. The program started the current program year in December 1997. Therefore, the staff would like to recommend provisional funding at the requested level, provided that the program continues to demonstrate progress in addressing MCSC' s concerns during its current grant year. If they do not address the concerns a new grant will not be issued. �MICHIGAN COMMUNITY SERVICE COMMISSION Proposal Review Form DATE: April24, 1998 PROPOSAL: GRANT CATEGORY: Michigan's AmeriCorps Michigan Communities in Schools NUMBER OF 1998-99 AMERICORPS MEMBERS: -~1-"'-1_ _ FT _ ___,4'------ 1 Yr.

MCIS is a statewide Michigan's ArneriCorps program serving in four counties. MCIS helps local communities to coordinate existing resources and reposition needed services into the schools to best meet the needs of youth. STRENGTHS • With the first two quarters of the program year completed, ArneriCorps members have provided tutorial assistance to 95 of the targeted 150 at- risk K-12 students in four counties. • The program has provided support to 189 students and 70 parents identified as having poor attendance. The program has exceeded their target of 40 students. • The program has worked with over 300 students getting them involved in service projects. The program has exceed their target of 200 students involved with service projects. • The program has recruited 91 volunteers in the first two quarters. This exceeds the expectation of 40 volunteers for the program year. • The program has reported 90 agencies, businesses, schools and organizations have been provided with information regarding local MCIS programs. This exceeds the target of 40 for the program year. • The program has been successful with capacity enrollment and retention of members. • The program has identified and addressed communication problems and has implemented corrective action plans. • There is a solid program monitoring system in place. • The FTE rate for this program is $11,216. This is below the MCSC and CNS average FrE. • Year 2/3 program design is solid and builds from year one. CONTINUOUS IMPROVEMENT ITEMS • Progress reported for the community strengthening objectives is vague. The program needs to elaborate on the activities/involvement of the corps members in the presentation of information to the community organizations. • It is not clear what progress has been made by the members to plan, design, and carry out a signature project at each of the MCIS sites. • The proposal did not describe how the program obtains regular feedback from the primary stakeholders and uses the feedback to improve overall quality of the program. • The proposal did not address training members in CPR, communication, and conflict resolution. 1998-99 FUNDING REQUEST: $145,820 STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS MCSC staff is satisfied with the overall quality and accomplishments of the program and recommends that the proposal be included in the formula package for submission to CNS. �MICHIGAN COMMUNITY SERVICE COMMISSION Proposal Review Form DATE: April24, 1998 GRANT CATEGORY: Michigan's AmeriCorps LEGAL APPLICANT: Michigan Nonprofit Association NUMBER OF 1998 - 1999 AMERICORPS STATE MEMBERS: 27 Fr _ _ _PT -"""'"'15"----_2. YR. PT _ _ _ _Summer Only DESCRIPTION The mission of the VCM AmeriCorps: Michigan's AmeriCorps program is to mobilize people and resources to deliver creative solutions to community problems. The program will enroll 27 fulltime and 15 two-year, part-time, education award only members who will serve statewide. The members will develop reading support programs for local elementary schools, spend 10% of their direct service hours with a partner agency addressing one of the five fundamental resources as identified by America's Promise, and involve a minimum of 20 youth and 20 senior volunteers in a local service activity. STRENGTHS • • • • • • Good evaluation system in place that gages progress throughout the program year. The applicant has clearly established that the local volunteer center is the member host site and that the center is ultimately responsible for the members' service and development. This is a very fundamental step in establishing effective monitoring, evaluation, and member development systems. In an effort to expand the program's impact and involvement within the local communities, the program has sponsored, and the members have participated in, a number of special events that have involved program partners and other community-based organizations, nonprofit organizations, etc. The national service manager (the person who coordinates the entire VCM AmeriCorps program) has completed a site visit to most host sites this quarter and will visit the remaining sites in the second quarter. Because of the large number of local host sites, MCSC staff feels that this shows a commitment on the part of the applicant to develop and maintain a quality monitoring system. The program has involved 977 volunteers in 2,845 hours of volunteer service. The program is addressing one of the five America's Promise goals. CONTINUOUS IMPROVEMENT ITEMS • • • • • The applicant and MCSC need to develop a plan to address the challenge of recruiting and retaining part-time Education Award Only (EAO) members. The applicant has stated that there has been difficulty in recruiting these EAO members. The applicant did not address the Ethic of Service, Leadership Opportunities, AmeriCorps on the Internet, or America Reads Initiative sections. FrE rate of $13, 556 is high. It is $2,000+ over the CNS and MCSC targeted average. The applicant will have to reduce the FrE rate to no more than $11,000. Because this is an application for year three of a three year grant, MCSC has reservations about the program bringing on 15 two-year members. How will this affect the members ability to complete their term of service? As the grant enters the third and final year, what are the plans for sustaining the effort beyond the grant period? �1998-99 FUNDING REQUEST $363,651 STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS Staff recommends that this proposal be included in the formula package for submission to CNS , provided the program fully addresses the issues outlined to them in the staff review feedback. �MICHIGAN COMMUNITY SERVICE COMMISSION Proposal Review Form DATE: April24, 1998 GRANT CATEGORY: Michigan's AmeriCorps LEGAL APPLICANT: New Detroit, Inc.

This mission, reflective of the AmeriCorps priority of public safety, will get things done, strengthen communities, encourage responsibility, and expand opportunities. STRENGTHS • • • • The AmeriCorps members implemented a service project this quarter in which they hosted a Teen Summit and Fellowship. The focus was to dialog with youth on issues of violence, crime, and fear. The program has been able to involve members from other AmeriCorps programs who have served with the program, on special events, as non-stipended volunteers. Bi-weekly meetings, including program staff and members, are conducted to accomplish four task: ongoing training of the members; program feedback, evaluation, and refmement; training in local community activity; and development of the AmeriCorps identity. The program works to reduce the levels of crime, violence and fear in and around seven schools. In addition, the program also helps the participating students to improve attendance rates and academic achievement. CONTINUOUS IMPROVEMENT • • • • • • • The Quarterly Report did not address the program's current retention rate, problems with it, how the program will make adjustments, etc. There were several questions posed in the Quarterly Report that were either not answered or were answered inadequately. The applicant will need to revise the report, providing complete and articulate answers to all of the questions. The applicant needs to provide more complete and quantitative information as to the how the program is meeting their objectives. The format for the 2/3 plan narrative, as clearly laid out in the AmeriCorps Renewal Application, was not followed. The applicant must follow the provided format. There were several questions posed in the 2/3 Year Plan that were either not answered or were answered inadequately. Again, the applicant should follow the format of the application making sure that each question posed in each section is answered. Answers should be complete and provide the reader with a solid picture of the year 2/3 plan. It is not clear how many new members the program wants to apply for. Please conflffil this number and make sure that it is consistently listed throughout the title page, budget form, budget narrative, etc. The application lists the same objectives as those in Yeai 1. MCSC will provide instruction on how the program can work with Project STAR to write more comprehensive objective statements. �• • The budget narrative is poorly written and is very difficult to understand. Garry Gross, Director of Administration for the Michigan Conununity Service Conunission can provide instruction on how to write a more complete and easier to understand narrative. The FTE rate is $11, 436.

PT _ _Summer Only DESCRIPTION The Dreamcatcher Volunteer Program focuses on providing independent living assistance to individuals with developmental disabilities in four counties in northern Michigan (Emmet, Charlevoix, Otsego, and Cheboygan). The program aims to increase the community's knowledge and understanding of individuals with developmental disabilities by involving persons with developmental disabilities more directly in community activities and by developing a circle of friends for the individual. The members will be matched with developmentally disabled individuals and will work to generate volunteers from the community to serve as activities companions for these individuals. STRENGTHS • To date, the members have been matched with 45 individuals with developmental disabilities. This surpasses the goal of 40 matches between members and individuals with disabilities. The members plan weekly community outings with their matches. • The members are currently working with the individuals with developmental disabilities to involve the individuals in five hours of community service. Many of the matches are exploring volunteer opportunities at the local hospitals, animal shelters, and the upcoming community paint blitz. • The biggest programmatic challenge for this year is member supervision. The program has revised how the members will be supervised next year. This should eliminate many of the problems experienced in the first year. CONTINUOUS IMPROVEMENT ITEMS • Overall the second quarterly report is extremely vague. The report needs to be revised to include more specific quantitative data that clearly articulates the progress being made toward meeting the program' s objectives (i.e. the number of matches, how many total contacts the members have had with the matches, the types of community outings, the impact/outcome of the outings, etc.) • The program is currently struggling with the overall impact evaluation of the program. They need to refme their evaluation plan to include impact information. • In reviewing the quarterly report, the volunteer recruitment piece was vague. This component is most critical to the overall sustainability of the program, yet it could be potentially lost within the members' other duties. The program will need to ensure that members spend ample time recruiting volunteers. • The program needs to develop a plan to generate more community buy-in for the program. Community buy-in will be a critical part of the overall sustainability of the program. • The Year 2/3 narrative did not address the ethic of service or leadership opportunities sections. • The FfE rate for the program is 11,865 which is higher than the MCSC and CNS target of $11,250 1998-99 FUNDING REQUEST: $71,194 STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS MCSC staff recommends that this proposal be included in the formula package for submission to CNS, provided that the program fully addresses the issues outlined in the staff review feedback. �MICHIGAN COMMUNITY SERVICE COMMISSION Proposal Review Form DATE: April24, 1998 GRANT CATEGORY: Michigan's AmeriCorps LEGAL APPLICANT: School District of the City of Saginaw NUMBER OF 1998- 1999 AMERICORPS STATE MEMBERS: _ _ _FT _ _ _PT -=30"'--_2 YR.

The program will focus on education and training regarding preschool, elementary, middle and high school children. Specifically the members will tutor third grade students in reading and math, mentor teens who are in their first and second trimester of pregnancy and at-risk of dropping out of school, and implement gang activity prevention in the middle schools. STRENGTHS • To-date, the program has recruited more than 75 volunteers who have provided more than 275 hours of service. • The program members have tutored 125 students. 79 have shown marked improvement in their reading ability. 53 have improved reading by one letter grade. • The program works with an at-risk pregnant teen population. There were 341 teen births in Saginaw in 1995, with 85% of these teens never returning to school to complete their education. • The Office of Evaluation, Testing and Research of the School District of the City of Saginaw, has agreed to work with the program director to set up specific devices to gather and quantify the data necessary to perform ongoing evaluation of the program. • The average cost per FTE is listed as $5,579 which is exceptionally low. As stated below, MCSC will need to advise the applicant as to whether or not the applicant can revise their program, from last year's design, to the proposed new design that includes 30 part-time, two-year, Education Award Only members. This decision may effect the average cost per FTE. CONTINUOUS IMPROVEMENT • There was no FSR form included with the Quarterly Report. • There was no member tracking form included with the Quarterly Report. • On future Quarterly Reports, the program needs to provide more accurate and quantitative responses that articulate their progress in meeting each of the program's objectives. • In the 2/3 year narrative, the applicant will need to revise their objective statements. MCSC recommends that the applicant meet with Project STAR to revise the objectives. • MCSC will advise the applicant as to whether or not the applicant can revise their program, from last year's design, to the proposed new design that includes 30 part-time, two-year, Education Award Only (EAO) members. Historically it has proven very difficult for programs to recruit and retain Education Award Only members. • The applicant needs to clarify the number of new f\.111-time, part-time, and EAO part-time members being requested. • On the budget form, the applicant needs to list the member support costs for the two-year part-time members. The amounts to be provided by the higher education institutes need to be included under the grantee share. �1998-99 FUNDING REQUEST $167,390 STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS Staff recommends that this proposal be included in the formula package for submission to CNS, provided the program fully addresses the issues outlined to them in the staff review feedback. �MICHIGAN COMMUNITY SERVICE COMMISSION Proposal Review Form DATE: April 24, 1998 GRANT CATEGORY: Michigan's AmeriCorps LEGAL APPLICANT: SOS Crisis Center NUMBER OF 1998-99 AMERICORPS STATE MEMBERS: 2 FT 6 PT 2YR.

The program will also engage a minimum of 35 homeless parents in programming designed to increase their competence in supporting their child's development. STRENGTHS • The program is a multi-agency collaboration among homeless family service providers. • The organization and staff have experience with both homeless issues and volunteer management. • The program supports local "welfare-to-work" initiatives by targeting homeless parents who are · predominantly public assistance recipients. • The program aims to serve more than 100 families and pre-school children each year and has the potential to impact a larger population through its relationship with the partner agencies. • The program has taken steps to better define how the members will provide specialized child care and the overall impact the child care will have on the service recipients. Project STAR is providing technical assistance to the program to enhance the overall objectives. • The program reduced the FTE to $10,589, which is below MCSC and CNS targeted cost per FfE. CONTINUOUS IMPROVEMENT ITEMS • The Financial Status Report was not submitted. • The program needs to provide more complete and quantitative information as to how the program is meeting their overall program objectives. • The proposal does not describe how they incorporate continuous improvement as a primary component and how they obtain regular feedback from the primary stakeholders to improve the overall quality of the program. 1998-99 FUNDING REQUEST: $52,946 STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS MCSC staff recommends that this proposal be included in the formula package for submission to CNS, provided the program fully addresses the issues outlined in the staff review feedback. �MICHIGAN COMMUNITY SERVICE COMMISSION Proposal Review Form DATE: April24, 1998 LEGAL APPLICANT: NUMBER OF GRANT CATEGORY: Michigan's AmeriCorps United Way of Genesee and Lapeer Counties 1998-99 ---=2~1_ _ FT AMERICORPS MEMBERS: -~19:....___ 1 Yr.

STRENGTHS • • • • The program documents its accomplishments and impacts adequately. The program articulates the challenges and issues encountered. The program recognizes and explains any deviations in meeting objectives. The program has recognized the difficulty in recruiting education award only members which has resulted in low enrollment numbers. The program has worked with MCSC to revise their current budget to offer a living allowance to part-time members. Consequently, the program has seen improvements in the second quarter enrollment numbers. • The FTE rate for this program is $11 ,250. This meets MCSC and CNS's target. CONTINUOUS IMPROVEMENT • Progress toward youth volunteers providing 2,800 hours of service is low. The program needs to elaborate on the lack of progress towards this objective. • Progress toward the 12 community projects and the 45 businesses providing support is not documented. The program needs to address the progress made. • Clarification is needed on what activities members have undertaken to promote volunteerism in the community and recruit non-stipended volunteers. • Plans for continuous improvement and evaluation need to be better defmed. • Clarification is needed on how the program will build on the established local support for the program for years 2/3. • Proactive measures are needed to ensure that members aren't engaged in prohibited activities prior to site visits by the program staff.

Romney Lansing , Te lephone FAX Executive Director Kyle Caldwell S. Capitol Ave. Bldg ., 4th Floor Michigan 48913 (517) 335-4295 (517) 373-4977 MEMORANDUM TO: Michigan Community Service Commission FROM: Garry Gross, Director of Administration Michigan Community Service Commission RE: Administrative Update DATE: August 14, 1998 Attached is the comparative financial statement for the quarter ending June 30, 1998. This statement reflects the first three quarters of our fiscal year. As you can see, we are currently under our projected budget. In the last two months, the Commission has seen a large increase in expenditures as we have been working on increasing the size and capabilities of our office. We have also encumbered the entire work project from the prior year, which will be reflected on our fourth quarter financial statement. In the State GF/GP, we are currently anticipating a surplus at the end of the year of roughly $60,000. After discussions with the budget office of both the Michigan Jobs Commission and the Department of Management and Budget, we have submitted a work project request for these funds for Fiscal Year 1999. This surplus amount is the result of having Terry Pruitt as our Interim Executive Director for seven months of the year. As Mr. Pruitt was an loaned executive from the Dow Corporation, we were left with a large surplus in our salaries and benefits line item. Please take a minute to review the Financial Statement and if you have any questions on the comparative financial statement or any other fmancialladrninistrative questions, please ask me at the Commission meeting or feel free to call me at the office at (517) 335-4295. cc: Kyle Caldwell �Michigan Community Service Commission Comparative Financial Statement/FY 98 As of June 30, 1998 STATE FUNDS GF/GP Budget YTD Actual Current Year Income Prior Year Carryover 1,438 ,500 1,438 ,500 Total Revenues Operaltonal Budget YTD Actual P·OAT Budget YTD Actual TOTALS PRIVATE & FOUNDATION FUNDS FEDERAL FUNDS Volunteer Awareness Budget YTD Actual AmeriCorps Budget YTD Actual Learn & Serve B..tget YTD Actual Michigan CAR ES Budget YTD Actual Michigan CARES-2 Budget YTD Actual Legislative Bkfast Budget YTD Actual State ED grant YTD Actual Budget Bldget YTDActuals REVEN..es 125 ,00 0 45 952 125 ,000 45 952 354,052 0 354,052 0 12 0 ,000 30 000 120,000 30 000 4 ,294,342 0 3,950 , 871 343.471 151 , 500 1 438 ,500 1 438 , 500 170 ,952 170 952 354 052 354 052 150 000 1 50 000 4 294 342 4 294 342 151 500 1,000 ,000 965 ,000 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 000 000 965 000 0 0 269 ,555 30 ,000 12 ,400 24 ,525 139 ,475 20 ,000 2,000 1 5 ,000 5,000 9 ,586 0 91,000 91 ,0 00 126 756 126 756 0 21.429 0 21 ,429 8 . 250 0 8 . 250 0 3,200 3,200 6,574 ,394 235 587 6 , 230 ,923 579 058 15 1 500 217756 217756 21 429 21 429 8 , 250 8 , 250 3 . 200 3 .200 6 809 .9 81 6 809 981 1 51,500 0 S~RANTS Program Sub-Grants OperatK>ns Sub-G rants Totai Sub-Grants 4 ,2 94 ,342 4 ,294,342 13 4 , 736 1 15,499 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 93.000 0 0 0 0 0 5,429,078 0 5 , 37 4 ,841 93 ,000 0 4 294 342 4 294 342 1 34 736 115 499 0 93,000 0 0 0 0 5 429 0 78 5 467 841 23.540 0 0 0 0 24,34 7 1 , 383 517 9,929 1 , 394 481 , 563 186 ,547 246 , 139 99,131 0 21,100 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 43,159 2,400 0 0 4,000 37, 0 00 0 0 48 , 125 57 ,000 24 , 879 1 ,795 67,960 8 4,780 2 , 996 38 , 483 33 ,396 76 ,545 63 ,238 14,382 48 , 197 45 , 431 0 ADMIN.

L- a 1 learned that the more people you have, the more things will ~et ~one. ~orkin~ together as a team is the k~y for success. When everyone ch1ps 1n and g1ve. their hand, great things are accomplished. It also give you a great sense of happmess because you know you're helping someone else in their tim~ of nee~. it's ~lso great to meet other AmeriCorps members and see what a great JOb they re domg, too. -Melissa Rewa () ·-Q) L- E <( 3 CD .., -· () a.., -c en )> en a. L- a () ·-Q) L- E <( en a. L- a () L- My experience at camp was very knowledgeable. Besides the fact that I learned camp games, and how to roast a marshmallow, I also learned how to work together in a team and as a team . My experience with other people was good because I am very shy, and this past weekend I opened up and talked along with laughing and playing games. This experience will be remembered all ways. -Lekia Nolan The AmeriCorps Signature Project was a very interesting one. It was not what I expected at all. I found out two very important things though .. I do not like bugs, and I do not like trash. It is sad to think that people can have that much disrespect for the land around them. Other than those tow things, I had a good time. I met some nice people, and even got to know some of GCAP"s members a little better. It was definitely a leaning experience. I think that this is definitely going to be one of the most memorabl~~~xperiences during my year with AmeriCorps. --Jackie Shanks Q) E "<( en a. s.... a () s.... Q) E <( ..,-o0 .What I had to rer:n~mber ~as that these activities involved things that I enjoyed (team participation, hearing and discussing ideas and opinions from different people) and my frustration was not coming from having to-do the activities but getting lost during the drive· up there. Once I dealt with where my negative attitude was coming from, I was able to change my focus and get the most out of that day. I also met many other AmeriCorps members from around the state with various backgrounds. The second day we were at camp we participated in cleaning up the forest. We were all very angry about the amount of garbage and environmentally hazardous material people just dumped into this area. By the end of the day I had heard several ideas from members, discussing solutions to this problem. Even on the way home some of us were still discussing solutions. We all agreed that this will continue to be a serious problem until someone takes a stand and says enough. -Lisa Smith 3 CD .., -0 · a.., -c en )> 3 CD .., ca .., "0 CJJ ): -ct ( c "'C CJ SdJ08!J8WV sdJ08P8W'if sdJ08!J8W'if SdJ08!J9W\f �j I mu.st start by s~ying ~hat I did enjoy some of the experiences as a participant of the srgnature ~roJect thrs year. I r~ally feel like 1got to know my fellow AmeriCorps r:ne~bers qurte wel.l, some of therr anyway. I learned a little about the history of Mrchrgan .. That ~as rmportant. However, I was very disappointed with the location of the proJect berng an old landfill. I was under the impression that we were going to clean. up the forest (that's what we were told). Reflecting back, 1can not measur~ the rmpact of our eff?rts. Wildlif~ may or may not benefit from the clean up. If gettrng the name of AmerrCorps out rn the community and promoting volunteerism --Nina Davis was our objective, in my opinion, we did not meet the goal. Regarding GCAP program and members: Disappointed that so many members do not take their AmeriCorps responsibilities seriously i.e. the State Signature Project is an expectation not an option. Learned many positive thing about AmeriCorps members that went-s.everal tested the limits in spending a week-end with such a setting, one tested her dislike to drive such a distance with minimal preparations and instruction; some others displayed leadership qualities in the team activities , some never gave up at an activity. Also noted that some shortcoming in tolerance for others and the desire to do tit for tat in their annoyance with a situation. Regarding the AmeriCorps members I met and the ones that I teamed with, I found the tolerance for team building exercise fairly low but their sense of humor high and their determination to use it to solve problems encountered in the clean up high. Most of them were diligent workers in moving the bigger items during the clean-up and uned their serfse of huhlor to great advatage. There weas a lot of AmeriCorps spirit in the clean up itself. It was amazing what teamwork accomplished in moving so many big itmes and I can see why the DNR needed strong bodies to help them with such a project. Faced wth a project in which little could be visibly seen, I heard very little moaning or groaning but a let'sjust get to work attitude. I had a sense that AmeriCorps members cared and watched out for each other. I troroughly enjoyed meeting and dicussing their assignments with the AmeriCorps members. -Pat Legg �What 1learned from going to and being a part of the weekend. The days spent with my other AmeriCorps members bonded me with people I thought I had little in common with or thought I never would meet. First off the long drive we had was great. 1saw the part of Michigan I rarely get to look at. Me and the AmeriCorps· members 1rode up with became great friends we shared in the adventure of being lost and just trying to find the camp. Boy what an interesting drive we had. The days a the camp truly made me feel part of a team, unified with different types of men and women from backgrounds different than my own. We ate, slept, played and partied together. It went from being a 'me' to a 'we' and 'us'. Clean the landfill made me mad at all the junk and trash that dirties up our country. I guess after all the hard work we put in gave me a sense of special work. We cleaned a small part of America -AMERICORPS!! We bonded the entire trip, the Genesee County AmeriCorps, and the other AmeriCorps from around the state. The work was very hard and very, very draining, but the result was that we helped. I guess when it was time to go none of us did (I mean leave the new friends we had made). Hugs abounded. it felt nice to learn _about myself and my 'new' friends.--Aci Chambers First of alii would like to say Thank You very much. It's always a pleasure to experience new and different surroundings. As a inner-city kid who has spent his entire life here in Flint, the county was quite refreshing. It has been three days since the completion of my service project and I already miss the peace of mind 1was able to achieve. On the other hand, the food was horrible .... pork products turn my stomach. 1remember the hollow !eeling driving me nuts! For future reference the meal plan should be Improved to the specific need of every individual. --Monte! Hartfield I really-enjoyed the experience I had with other AmeriCorps volunteers from across the state. _1 made a new friend that I will be corresponding with. 1was really imp~es~ed With the concern AmeriCorps Director showed for me. 1am speaking of Cmdl from Marquette. The team I was assigned to was very positive and worked · · t_very hard. --Debra Price �I What did I learn? I learned that I will not want to be part of another service project unless it is planned and executed in a more organized manner. As far as the people were concerned, I really enjoyed them all. The actual project seemed to be a useless effort. If we cleaned a state park what was it used for-not picnics I'm sure. I would rather a housing project or a vacant lot within the city. --Arleatha Bryant May 8th and 9th at Ocqueoc Lake, the AmeriCorps had a signature project. I learned survival tips and enhanced my .leadership abilities. The only survival tip I actually learned was the acorn top trick.* I strengthened my leadership abilities by opening up. Loosen up and getting to know the group. Learn from them, listen to them, le£ them lead, which leads back to learning from the group. It's great to be a leader and a follower. That's what makes a great leader. --Andre Orr My experience in Mackinaw was one that I'll never. f~rget. My first impression was that we would be outside camping, and wo~ld be ~rntated by hundreds of hungry mosquito's. But as we arrived that impression qu1ckly ~vaporated. The fir~t day t smoothly and 1 really enjoyed meeting the many d1fferent follow Amen?orps The activities were great in such that we had fun and got to duce, meet, and work with unfamiliar faces. ~he next day, Saturday, we :e :~iii­ worked on the forest for the remainder of the time up there. Everyone ~o rf ~ f gently and ·accomplished fhe goal set for the day. Overall, I ha~ a won e u lme and would love to go again. - -Tyquan Cobbm ~~~Michigan. mtr~­ * ask Leisa Richardson about the acorn cap survival tip �• What did I learn? The Signature Project this year compared to last was not organized well. I was disappointed with the recreational activities but I did get a chance to get to know the other Genesee County AmeriCorps members better. I was also disappointed with the breakfast and lunch since there wasn't a choice of meat for those who do not eat pork. The actual project was okay, but made me realize how out of shape I am. I talked to other members in my group about what they did as AmeriCorps whis was interesting. It would be nice to see other AmeriCorps member more than once a year. --Keneshia Bryant I found that it is easy to talk to people with various backgrounds as long as we have on thing in common, be it love of service, nature, music, or people. I learned that I like everyone I work with. I was actually surprised that I got along with everyone. I hadn't expected to. I thought that they were too loud, too quiet, or too whiney for little old me. I was mistaken. I wish I had more opportunities to get to know other people in our group, maybe a picnic or barbecue? I learned that there is a lot more to be done in the forest to pick up garbage. Although our group alone must have pulled out fifty bags full of trash, we barely made a dent in the layer upon layer of glass and tin. I was shocked at the amount of debris we found, as well as abandoned cars, refrigerators, and chairs, I was also amazed that there was still some wildlife living in the area. I was exhausted after only 4 hours. I learned that I could do a lot more physical labor than I thought I could. I confirmed that I really like being outside; I love the smells, textures, colors, and sounds of the woods and lakes. I like being dirty and sweaty and having. sore muscles. But I learned that I don't like living that way. I eventually will want to be clean and relaxed.--Jonquil Bertschi - The AmeriCorps State Signature Project was a good experience for me. I took this past week-end as a chance to get to know my fellow AmeriCorps members. I am fairly new to the program, so this turned out to be a good opportunity to make new friends. -Marlo Narro � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

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

Romney Lansing , Telephone FAX Chairperson Michelle Engler Executive Director Kyle Caldwell .;~~:,...... TO: Michigan Community Service Commission FROM: Kyle Caldwell, Executive Director RE: Executive Director's Report DATE: August 28, 1998 - ···--~ - S. Capitol Ave . Bldg ., 4th Floor Michigan 48913 {517) 335-4295 (517) 373-4977 . It is both my duty and sincere pleasure to provide this four-month review and Executive Director's Report to the Commission. In it you will find a brief summary of our accomplishments over the past four months, a quick explanation of various internal modifications to the Michigan Community Service Commission (MCSC) staffing and administrative structures, a brief overview of a draft of the staffs recommendations for MCSC' s growth, development and transition over the next four years, and views of the new executive director. Basic Observations Since my first day as Executive Director of MCSC on May 4, 1998, the MCSC staff has engaged in a flurry of activity. Much of that activity has been described in my previous written updates or in the summaries that will be offered by staff at the September 11, 1998 meeting. It is important to note, however, the items not mentioned in those summaries. MCSC's leadership has remained strong. One year ago MCSC's second executive director resigned and shortly thereafter, the Vice Chairperson, Terry Pruitt filled in on an interim basis until a replacement could be found. This continuity in leadership provided stability to the organization. Under Mr. Pruitt's leadership, MCSC implemented Michigan's first, and to-date only, state sponsored Volunteer Investment Grant program. During his nine-month tenure, Mr. Pruitt constructed, coordinated and helped author Michigan's Unified State Plan for national and community service. In addition, Mr. Pruitt effectively and professionally represented MCSC and its chairperson, First Lady, Michelle Engler at public functions as had been the case since his start with MCSC in 1991 as a charter member. All of these tasks were fulfilled by Mr. Pruitt through the generous contribution of the Dow Corning Corporation which agreed to loan Mr. Pruitt to MCSC on a temporary basis. MCSC is deeply indebted to Mr. Pruitt and the Dow Coming Corporation for their contribution. �MCSC staff have put in yeoman's service to the organization this past year. Staff adapted to the chronic shortage of personnel, long hours and steep learning curves. The Michigan's AmeriCorps portfolio has increased to over 20 programs and is currently staffed by only 1.5 FTE's. MCSC has been able to host or co-host a myriad of statewide meetings including the Governor's Service Awards, Make A Difference Day, Volunteerism SuperConference, Launch of America's Promise in Michigan, two visits by Retired General Colin Powell, the Statewide Public Land Cleanup, Michigan's AmeriCorps Signature Service Project, convening of statewide partners around the Unified State Plan, and many others. This is a great deal of work by a very small pool of talented and devoted people. During my visits with commissioners and my experiences with MCSC prior to becoming its executive director, it has become poignantly clear that staff-take their lead from the leadership. Commissioners consistently act whenever called upon. MCSC has an active and engaged chair who is seen throughout the nation as a leader in national service and volunteerism. MCSC has more commissioners serving on national boards than nearly any other state in the nation. MCSC is a leader. I take great pride in MCSC' s accomplishments. I take even greater pride in the people that make up its soul-staff, commissioners and friends alike. Confi~:urin&: for Empowerment and Quality Decision Makin&: Based upon the recommendations of Commissioner Pruitt, while serving as Interim Executive Director, and the observations of the inner workings of the MCSC office by the current Executive Director, a three-division supervisory tier structure was set in place (see memo from Commissioner Pruitt attached). This structure consists of three primary areas: Outreach and Fund Development, Programming, and Finance and Administration. These function areas are not new to MCSC. In fact, you will find these three areas illustrated in previous versions of the MCSC organizational chart (see organizational charts attached). However, placing someone with sole responsibility for each of the areas is new. In addition, there are increases to the number of staff that would support the work of MCSC. These proposed changes were reported in the latest Executive Director's Report (dated July 27, 1998). Some concern was raised by commissioners concerning informing the full Commission prior to making such fundamental changes to the way the MCSC operates. The Executive Committee asked that the Executive Director present these changes and the rationale for making them at the September meeting. MCSC began with an extremely small administrative structure-an executive director and an administrative assistant. (It should be noted here that MCSC has retained its original administrative assistant for seven years now.) At that time, MCSC was operating a series of block grants, planning its vision and goals. More relief came in the form of two Points of Light Foundation Youth Ambassadors. MCSC has grown from roughly $156,000 to a $6.5 million organization with ever expanding responsibilities. And while the staff has grown in size, experience and expertise, it is still over tasked and under supported when compared to other state governmental agencies responsible for similar sized programs. As MCSC has grown in size, its administrative and personnel structures have stagnated. New staff were hired for a specific task and would report directly to the Executive Director for guidance, direction and approval. While this worked well for a staff of four to five, it has become burdensome and unwieldy for the current operation that includes nearly a dozen. 2 �Over the course of MCSC' s seven-year history three common themes have emerged. First, that MCSC has a responsibility to provide assistance and oversight to programs. Second, that MCSC needs to develop relationships and initiatives that better the field of service and volunteerism. Third, that MCSC must be able to account accurately and efficiently on the work that it conducts and the funds it uses to carry out its duties. In earlier organizational charts these themes are represented as Outreach, Programming, and Administration. Those same themes are used in MCSC' s most recent restructuring. However, in addition to dividing staff by task, the new staff structure puts leadership components in the management structure so that staff are empowered to do their job. Traditionally, staff were required to gain approval from the Executive Director for everything from ordering supplies to writing correspondence. This slowed down operations and lead to high levels of frustration for staff. This new structure attempts to address those frustrations while also gaining some efficiencies. MCSC' s new organizational structure consists of: Chair, Michelle Engler- Responsible for the overall leadership of the MCSC. Executive Director, Kyle Caldwell- Responsible for the daily operations of the MCSC. Administrative Assistant and Executive Secretary, Mary Estrada - Administrative assistant to the Commission, Chair and Executive Director. Director of Outreach and Fund Development, Lindy (Reurink) Lange Responsible for oversight of all communication, fund development, special events and outreach functions of the MCSC. Communications & Training and Technical Assistance Coordinator, Maria Garcia - Responsible for all major publications and communication tasks of MCSC. In addition, is responsible for coordination and assessment of training and technical assistance needs of MCSC programs. Administrative Support for Outreach and Fund Development, Kathie Vasilion - Provides logistical and administrative support to Outreach and Fund Development Department staff and other staff areas as required. Director of Programs, Paula Kaiser - Responsible for oversight of all national service, school and community-based, and publicly and privately funded programs administered by MCSC. Program Development Coordinator, Angelia Salas- Responsible for the Learn & SERVE Community-Based and School-Based programming, Volunteer Investment Grants, MYPAC and the Service-Learning Leadership Council. Program Development Coordinator, Cynthia Hedden -Responsible for program development and monitoring of Michigan's AmeriCorps programs. Program Development Coordinator, Daphne Wells -Responsible for program development and monitoring of Michigan's AmeriCorps programs. 3 �Administrative Support for Programs and Finance & Administration, Jennifer Epps - Provides logistical and administrative support to Program department staff and the Director of Finance and Administration. Director of Finance & Administration, Garry Gross - Responsible for oversight, documentation and coordination of all state, federal and private funding sources. In addition, is the MCSC Personnel Liaison. Executive Director Views Finally, when I was invited to apply for the Executive Director position at MCSC, I was asked to provide my own philosophy on why and how service and volunteerism are enduring ways to solve community problems. I offer, for your review and consideration, my response. For the Love of Humanity Service and volunteerism are the purest forms of philanthropy-actions taken for "the love of humanity." Beyond the result that an act of kindness produces, there remains an even greater treasure. The time, patience, and the courage to act that combine to make up a volunteer experience are rare and extremely valuable in today's society. When we choose to give money, time, our patience, our caring or understanding we show our courage and determination to deal with some issue or individual. It is this determination to have an impact-meaningful impact-that stands as a cornerstone to ours and every other civilized society. This fundamental principal-actions taken for "the love of humanity"-formed our state and binds its citizens and its communities. Michigan has a rich history of community problem solving through individual and group philanthropic action. Spanning the spectrum, Michigan has seen acts of Christianity and faith by Father Gabriel Richard in the early 1800's, the financial largess of Tracy and Katherine McGregor to the poor of Detroit, and the leadership and drive of Governor George Romney to the volunteer and community rejoining movement. Michigan continues to stand out with its philanthropic action and leader status in promoting service and volunteerism as a way of community problem solving. But why rely on this method of problem solving that can appear insignificant and at times very difficult? The answers are simple and proven. • Service and volunteerism remain [as always] the truly sustainable and enduring forms of problem solving. • With service and volunteerism, there are no barriers of class, age, race, income or religionanyone can contribute. • The process of developing a volunteer or service experience in one's community, in and of itself can bring all of us closer together. And while we can see that these may be true, it is clear that they do not necessarily lead to everyone volunteering in their community. That is why a state agency that promotes and coordinates volunteer and national service efforts is so desperately needed. 4 �Enduring Forms of Problem Solving People and organizations taking responsibility for their own community as well as for themselves is the only long term solution to many of our community ills or woes. No one organization or individual can do it all nor should they. Much as each giving act is unique and valuable, so to are the individuals and organizations who take the necessary steps to meet genuine needs. There is a place for everyone. Each act forms a "patch" of a quilt that constitutes the various sectors of our society. Whether you label them the public, private, profit or social sectors, each has a place and function that binds us. Churches have a long history of practicing the "Golden Rule" by providing aid and comfort to the most needy. Often their very mission requires that they act toward their fellow human being is a way that requires sacrifice and charity. Literally millions belong to the various parishes and religious communities across our great state. However, often times it is also the purpose and charge of these organizations to not only practice, but expand their faith and teachings to others. This often makes for an uncomfortable situation, especially in a country where matters of church and state are considered best separate from each other. Churches are also ill equipped to financially address all the needs we now face. Non profits are one of this nations' rapidly growing industries. Michigan alone can hold claim to some of the world's largest foundations and the largest regional association of grantmakers. The United Way has a strong presence in almost every community in the state and community foundations now serve nearly every county. Human service agencies like Focus Hope in Detroit and the Children's Museum in Marquette are growing and expanding. Training and technical assistance organizations geared toward helping to develop leadership and instill proven business practices in nonprofits are cropping up everywhere to meet this growing demand. And yet, even with all of this growth, there is still far more demand than what these nonprofits are capable of addressing. Many nonprofits live "hand to mouth'' skipping from one grant to another without any real stable funding base. Their constituents are often unable to provide financial support so the "please the customer because the customer is paying" philosophy of the profit sector doesn't apply. Nonprofits are now relying on other nonprofits for their survival. Fortunately, generous support by traditional philanthropic organizations (foundations, United Ways, etc.) to many nonprofits is now buttressed by that of many for-profit organizations. The "Big Three" automakers have their own charitable wings and two have their own volunteer centers for employees to give their time to various causes. The Foundation Center's database lists over 1,380 Michigan-based grantmaking organizations. While this can appear as an overwhelming amount of support available, many nonprofits find that the funding through these organizations is restricted either geographically or by causes. Nonprofits with a specific mission that is focused and targeted find it difficult to find funding that both meets their needs and the interests of the funder. Government has driven much change in society, or some might say, has followed the drive of society's need to change. In either case, government has leveraged both money and law toward meeting critical and genuine needs. Government is credited for lifting the nation out of the financial and social depression during the early part of this century. Government heard the call of many during the Civil Rights Movement and made laws and funded programs to bring a sense of equity to the workplace and to the liberties of all our nation's peoples. 5 �Now, however, we find government at the forefront of reforming the aforementioned programs. Government now works toward returning responsibility for our own community to our own communities. Government has placed service and volunteerism back on the nation's agenda with new national service initiatives. Government is credited with all of these things, but still is unable to make the key, core and fundamental change necessary for all of our citizens to prosper in the communities in which they live. Government, in much of the public view, is now often credited with being more of a hindrance than any type of help. Yet, it is government, with its extensive financial resources and multifaceted experiences and views, and tremendous political power that can leverage resources and write rules that focus societies' attention on itself. It is truly the work of all of these various elements to our society-our patch work quilt-that provide the support and comfort to Michigan's needy and those needing to give. And at their·-core is a fundamental belief that we must take responsibility for our community-for our own mending. Throughout time we have seen that the actions of people and not just organizations are what make the difference over the long haul. Few Barriers Acts of service and volunteerism recognize few barriers. Someone can volunteer regardless of class, age, income, race or religion. The only barriers are our willingness, our courage, our imagination and our abilities. All of these are centered within each of us and not within society's pressures. A high school student from inner-city Detroit can take time to help tutor an early elementary student in reading. A retired school teacher can volunteer their time in the classroom to mentor the next generation of teachers. A factory worker can serve on the board of their local United Way. A family can spend time together to serve meals at a local soup kitchen for the homeless. A retired entrepreneur can donate their business knowledge and skills to developing nonprofits. Anyone can do it. In his book, "Who Speaks for God," Reverend Jim Wallis calls on everyone to develop a new approach to our philanthropic spirit. It [new approach] will call for a heightened level of volunteer activity from every sector of society-both the energy of young people and the expertise of older generations. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. once said that anyone can be great because anyone can serve. This can apply to individuals, organizations and communities-we merely have to apply it. The Process is an Outcome Finally, the process of developing a quality volunteer experience is extensive and often complicated, but it is this process that brings members of a community closer together, even before the act of kindness begins. Much like any problem, those addressed by a volunteer require a definition of the need, a plan for addressing the need, implementation of that plan, and evaluation of the plan's effectiveness. Sometimes we conduct this process within ourselves and sometimes we work in groups. The interaction forces discussion and debate of the issues we face . The methodical planning and research of a need helps prevent "knee jerk" reactions to critical problems. One person helping another-actually doing the work-makes it easier for each of us to become more connected with our own humanity. And the deep reflective process that follows a quality volunteer experience builds a legacy for others to emulate. It is often the process that makes the greatest impact on all parties involved. Michigan has engaged in such a process and has experienced, first hand, the power of corning together to solve a problem. 6 �Building the Patchwork Quilt In its wisdom, the philanthropic field in Michigan came together (at the W.K. Kellogg Foundation) in 1991 to ask some very fundamental questions concerning volunteerism in the state. State and local organizations from across Michigan came together to talk about their perceptions on what Michigan needed and what Michigan was doing. Out of that discussion, in conjunction with several subsequent ones, grew the idea of a state entity to help promote and coordinate service and volunteerism in Michigan. Again wisely, Governor Engler appointed a commission to deal with this issue and Mrs. Michelle Engler was asked to serve as its chair. Since its creation by executive order in 1991, the Michigan Community Service Commission (MCSC) has served as a ·convener, catalyst and broker -in the promotion of community problem solving through service. But most important among these functions , I believe, MCSC has served as the one place where all sectors of our society (public, profit, nonprofit) can come together to discuss volunteerism and service as community problem solving models and as a way of building an emphasis on civic renewal. Reverend Wallis talks about our civic renewal and the need for us to come together at a "table" and discuss what our communities and society in general should look like. He says, The image of the "table" is a powerful one for me. It runs through biblical history and it is as contemporary as the evening meal that helps hold a family together, the potluck supper that cements social and spiritual connections, or the special gathering of loved ones that marks a reunion or holiday celebration. It is at the table that we see each other's faces, remind ourselves of the ties that bind us, and rededicate ourselves to who and what we were meant to be. It is also an opportunity to be thankful for what we have so that it might not slip away .. .. ..... Only by corning together can we see the possibilities that could begin to move us forward. Anyone can come to the table. If there are not enough chairs, we must find some more. If there is not enough room, we must make the table larger. Even the shape of the table will change as we discover that round tables allow us to see each other better, and on more equal terms, than the old rectangular styles. MCSC has show in its work that it is the only place (the table) where all the patches can come together and make a seamless quilt that covers all the needs of our society and its communities. Similar to when community members would bring their scraps of cloth to a common table, plan out what the final product will be and use their skills, needle and thread to build it together, Michigan has worked to build something special. Whether we call it a movement, a field or a way of life service and volunteerism are the needles and thread we use to bind our communities like patches, to make our Michigan way of life-our quilt. In its role as a convener of people and organizations; in its capacity to broker resources both financial and human; in its ability to act as a catalyst in developing new and exciting methods of community problem solving, MCSC will be key to building sustainable methods of meeting genuine needs and for making better communities for Michigan citizens. 7 �MCSC has played host to the some of the work completed on a patchwork quilt we can see as our service and volunteer field in Michigan-MCSC is the convener. This will have to continue because no single individual, no group or organization, no fully funded volunteer program, nor any one non-funded service organization will alone be enough to meet our society's needs. Only through collaboration, each type of volunteer and human service agency playing to their own unique strengths, will we solve our society's problems. 8 �Michigan Community Service Commission Michelle Engler Chairperson Frank Dirks IT.

Introduction Michigan Community Service Commission (MCSC) grew out of an extensive planning process hosted by the W.K. Kellogg Foundation and was officially created by an executive order of Governor John Engler in October 1991. Established in state law with the overwhelming bipartisan support of the Michigan Legislature in the summer of 1994, MCSC is chaired by Michigan's First Lady, Michelle Engler and serves as a nonpartisan commission that promotes, supports and administers national and community service programs and various other volunteer efforts across the great state of Michigan. MCSC exists because of its partnerships-not in spite of them. From its very beginnings, MCSC has worked with organi'i~tions from the various sectors of our society to build an meaningful and lasting relationships th~t serve the fields of national service and volunteerism. Contributions, advice and support from organizations including Ameritech, Council of Michigan Foundations, C.S. Mott Foundation, Dow Coming Corporation, Lovelight Foundation, Michigan Nonprofit Association, Michigan Campus Compact United Way of Michigan, Volunteer Centers of Michigan and many more, have developed an idea into a reality. MCSC has grown and will continue to served Michigan citizens by branching out and seeking more non-traditional partnerships with philanthropic, governmental, for-profit and other charitable organizations. Specifically, what does MCSC do? Conduit for Federal, State and Private Support MCSC provides one of the few conduits community-based organizations use to access funds and assistance in support of volunteer efforts in Michigan. MCSC was designated the state's lead agency for administering programs under the National and Community Service Act of 1990, and later amended as the National Service Trust Act of Michigan Community Service Commission Four-Year Plan for Development & Transition Page I �1993. MCSC's support comes from three primary sources: federal funding for AmeriCorps and Learn and Serve through the Corporation for National Service; state funding for Volunteer Investment Grants and administrative costs; and private foundation funding that underwrites the costs for various programming initiatives and recognition events. Catalyst e onvener Broker MCSC acts as a catalyst for positive community change that works toward stimulating innovative programs that meet real community needs through service; a convener of diverse individuals and groups that work collaboratively toward building community through shared efforts toward common goals; and se es as a broker of ideas and resources ll ']~j ·~ . . a way that contmues . m to encourage co a oration and entrepreneun"al approac hes to service and volunteer program development in communities across Michigan. MCSC acts in these roles, but is rarely noticed for doing so. In many ways, this is a ae ired circumstance. While MCSC constantly strives to build its identity as a commiss ·on that coordinates and promotes voluteerism, it does not seek to steal the spotlight from the truly philanthropic efforts of Michigan's communities and citizens. Michigan has a nationally renowned commission on volunteerism because of the vision of MCSC' s supporters, but more importantly, because of the truly philanthropic efforts of our citizens and the organizations they serve. What does this plan propose? Why? This document lays out a four-year plan to help MCSC ensure that this mission, philosophy and legacy remain intact. This document is not intended to redefine MCSC, its mission, or it focus . This plan provides the historical context for MCSC and explains the reasoning for why and how it does business. Based on those factors, this plan takes a deliberately narrow and introspective look at MCSC and makes recommendations for internal changes based on changes in the field, the growth of the organization and the ever-changing Michigan Community Service Commission Four-Year Plan for Development & Transition Page 2 �priorities of MCSC' s various funders and supporters. This document deliberately avoids recommending any broad based fundamental changes. Those changes will need to come directly from MCSC's leadership and will be discussed later in this document. For now, fundamental and comprehensive examination and modification to the internal workings of MCSC is needed. Therefore, this plan offers changes to the operations, procedures and initiatives of MCSC so that it may better address its core mission of enabling all citizens, including youth, to engage in public problem solving through service and volunteerism. Michigan Community Service Commission Four-Year Plan for Development & Transition Page 3 �II. Summary The Michigan Community Service Commission (MCSC) has grown in scope and breadth since its creation in 1991. With this growth comes an ever increasing amount of responsibility for coordination, promotion and recognition of service and volunteer efforts throughout Michigan and the nation. MCSC began as, and to this day remains, a leader in the service and volunteer movement. Even with the rapid growth of programming, promotion and coordination initiatives operated by MCSC, its future is not assured. MCSC's budget consists of a mix of federal, state, foundation and corporate SUJ?port with the federal share comprising some 85%. This is a staggering figure and potentially a dang~rous situation as MCSC considers the implications of reduction or elimination of that support in the future. Finally, either as a result of, or in #" conjunction with, MCSC's rapid growth and development, ma, organizations in the field feel excluded and, in some cases, concerned that some MCSC programs are in competition with existing initiatives. Nonprofit organizations do not thrive and grow in an environment of steep competition as do those in the profit sector. In short, MCSC, like so many other nonprofit organizations, lacks the necessary systems and mechanisms for sustainability due to some fundamental barriers- inadequate size and diversify of MCSC's funding base; and inadequate investment in genuine collaboration. To overcome these barriers, continue to support the field of volunteerism, and to best position MCSC for sustainable effectiveness, the MCSC staff propose that over the next four years MCSC engage in the activities listed on the following page. Michigan Community Service Commission Four-Year Plan for Development & Transition Page 4 �Activities • MCSC work to maintain and enhance its leadership role at the local, state and national levels by emphasizing its role as a catalyst, convener, and broker. • MCSC develop mechanisms, processes and events that demonstrate MCSC pride in its current partnerships while also developing new and even more creative relationships. • MCSC should build in annual tasks that bring together various elements of the volunteer field to work together to assess and report on the state of: - youth serving in their communities in Michigan; - seniors serving in therr communities in Michigan; - families se~ing in their communities in Michigan; - service-learning in Michigan schools; and - faith-based service and volunteer efforts in Michigan. • MCSC work to reduce its overwhelming dependency on federal funding through both friend- and fundraising efforts. • MCSC restructure itself to (see Proposed Organizational Chart): - emphasize programming, administration, outreach and fund development as its primary areas for action; -create a management structure that ensures focused efforts, efficiency, accountability, leadership and professional growth; and - build a system of command and control functions. • MCSC should commit to developing a process to determine the organization's progress, effectiveness, utility to the service and volunteerism field, and determine if a statewide commission on service and volunteerism is necessary. • If found to be necessary, MCSC should develop and implement a comprehensive and long range plan to establish MCSC's permanent physical and administrative home while transitioning to a more diverse and stable funding base. ;; This document continues by providing an historical context and details staff recommendations for how MCSC might carry out changes in the way it does business. Michigan Community Service Commission Four-Year Plan for Development & Transition Page 5 �III. Background What is Michigan doing in the areas of youth development and volunteerism? That was the question many organizations were asking themselves almost eight years ago. To answer these questions, the nation, and especially Michigan began a series of dialogues. A national movement driven by the National and Community Service Act of 1991 and by the ' focussed attention of the W.K. Kellogg Foundation on issues of youth, brought forth a series of meetings, held during the late SRring and early summer of 1991. These meetings called together representatives of K-12 education, higher education, community-based agencies and youth-serving organizations to begin a dialogue on youth and youth service programs across Michigan. As an outcome of these meetings, and a report from , statewide plan for service and volunteerism. The coalition consist~d of some now familiar organizations-Michigan Campus Compact, Michigan Nonprofit Forum (now Association) and the Council of Michigan Foundations. These coalition partners, their plans and these meetings lead to the development of the Michigan Community Service Commission-formed via an executive order by Governor John Engler on October 2, 1991 (see Executive Order 1991-25, 1993-24). The first meeting was held on October 31, 1991, called to order by its first and continuing chairperson, First Lady Michelle Engler. Building an Infrastructure for Service and Volunteerism in Michigan MCSC's initial duties included defining and embracing a mission around volunteerism and youth service, developing a state plan for soliciting support from the Commission on National and Community Service (CNCS), and building a plan for sustainability of MCSC, but more importantly, for the state's volunteer movement. Michigan Community Service Commission Four-Year Plan for Development & Transition Page 6 �MCSC's first executive director, Diana V. Rodriguez Algra, continued the coalition building that was so evident in MCSC' s initial forming. Organizations from across the state were convened to help form and implement Michigan's application to the CNCS and the state's charge to MCSC for promotion and coordination of service and volunteerism in Michigan. MCSC garnered regular and continuous input and support from a broad coalition including: ACTION, Council of Michigan Foundations (CMF), K-12 Service Learning Center, W.K. Kellogg Foundation, Michigan CayJ.pus Compact (MCC), Michigan Community Action Agencies, Michigan Department of Education, Michigan Department of Social Services, Michigan Department of Natural Resources, Michigan Nonprofit Forum, Michigan Office on Foundation, United Community Services of Metro Detroit, United"Way of Michigan, and up of the Volunteer Centers of Michigan. Through a number of task forces& made , aforementioned organizations and a small yet effective staff1 MCSC submitted a successful series of applications to CNCS. Out of those applications, Michigan developed: • a network of school-based K-12 service learning initiatives • continuing support for a consortium of higher education institutions committed to youth volunteerism • strong support for Michigan based youth corps programs including 14 Youth Volunteer Corps, Michigan Civilian Conservation Corps, and the Youth Environmental Education Service Corps • a national demonstration model for community organization around service and volunteerism These programs, coupled with the organizations that worked with MCSC to build Michigan Community Service Commission Four-Year Plan for Development & Transition Page 7 �them, began to form what we now know of as Michigan's service and volunteerism infrastructure-relationships formed around a common belief that service (especially by our youth) to one's community is at the heart of what forms our civil society. This infrastructure, facilitated by MCSC, effectively responded to radical changes in federal legislation, frequent tum-over in leadership of coalition organizations, and priority shifts by corporate and Michigan's National Leader Status MCSC was able to leap ahead ·of many other states largely because the support of the W.K. Kellogg Foundation, dedication ofpartner.organizations, Governor Engler' s vision and leadership and the overwhelming bi-partisan support of the Michigan Legislature for the codification of this non-partisan commission on service and volunteerism see Public Act Number 219). Under the National and Community Service Trust Act of 1993 (federal legislation that modified the 1991 act and essentially reorganized the field to emphasize national service), states were required to establish state commissions that would administer funning from the newly formed Corporation for National Service (CNS). This funding included support for AmeriCorps (a national service initiative designed to act as a domestic version of the Peace Corps), Learn & Serve (K-12 and higher education funding designed to bring volunteerism and civic participation back into the lives of youth through curricular and cocurricular programming), and administrative costs for commissions to oversee these and other initiatives. MCSC, having been established two years prior to the 1993 act, was and continues to be, well prepared to respond to national initiatives. Proof of that can be demonstrated in what MCSC has achieved. Michigan Community Service Commission Four-Year Plan for Development & Transition Page 8 �MCSC: • manages one of the nation's largest portfolios of AmeriCorps and Learn & Serve programs. • developed some of the few state government-operated AmeriCorps programs through the Family Indepenoence Agency and the Michigan Civilian Conservation Corps. • is one of a handful of state commissions with state appropriated funds to promote, develop and coordinate volunteer organizations across the state. • with support from the Fonf Foundation, is the primary leader in the development of a national trade organizatio'n for state/service commissions. • has more of its commissioners represented on national volunteer and youth-service oriented organizations (America's Promise, Corporation for National Service, W.K. Kellogg Foundation, C.S. Mott Foundation, Points of Light Foundation) than most state commissions in the nation. • has one of the nation's largest statewide recognition programs (over 1200 participants , in 1998) for citizens who exemplify MCSC' s missio ·~ ·. . ·I" • is a sponsoring partner in one of the nation's few statewide conferences devoted solely to volunteerism. • has secured over $1.5 million in foundation support for various volunteer initiatives . • is one of a few, and one of the first, state commissions to be codified through state law . • established two of the first statewide youth and senior volunteer groups (MYP AC and Senior Advisory Council) as standing committees to a commission. • is a primary partner in a nationally rare three-year statewide campaign to promote volunteerism (ConnectMichigan). , Michigan Community Service Commission Four-Year Plan for Development & Transition Page 9 �IV. MCSC's Critical Issues With this list of successes, it would be easy for MCSC and its supporters to become complacent, but this is a dangerous time. MCSC enjoys the firm support of Governor John Engler and many members of the current legislature. The W.K. Kellogg Foundation supported MCSC even before its creation in 1991, through a grant to Youth Service America (YSA). This funding supported the series of meetings that served as policy planning meetings out of which grew the MCSC. The C.S. Mott Foundation supported MCSC's first youthoriented community-based technical assistance programs-Technical Assistance Program (TAP) for Youth Service. The number of MCSC national service programs has doubled in size from its original CNS portfolio in 1993. Finally, MCSC has secured modest funding from for-profit institutions including Ameritech to underwrite the costs of events like the Governor's Service Awards. Combined, these are remarkable steps toward a model of sustainability for the MCSC, but it is also extremely fragile. After the 1998 elections, Michigan will see more than 60 state public servants leave their seats in the state legislature as a result of electorial term limits. In addition, Governor John Engler, regardless of the '98 election results, will not be able to serve as Governor past the year 2002, thereby endangering MCSC's support from Michigan's Executive Branch and MCSC' s significant access to other members of the public sector. Foundations like the W .K. Kellogg Foundation by their nature, work to incubate and not wholly or continuously underwrite initiatives they fund. Ameritech, MCSC's largest for-profit supporter to date, is going through merger plans with a non-Michigan corporation which may, or may not share Ameritech's strong local philanthropic philosophy. Michigan Community Service Commission Four-Year Plan for Development & Transition Page 10 �This evolution of organizations may or may not play in MCSC's favor. CNS and AmeriCorps specifically, started out and remains in large part, associated strongly with the current presidential administration. This is a double edged sword with potentially lethal consequences given the current national political climate. CNS funding remains a partisan issue and is in constant turmoil and question. This situation threatens MCSC' s very existence given its large portfolio of high impact and quality national service programs and their heavy reliance on federal support. Hence, many the positive forces that helped build the MCSC into • what it is today can quickly turn into liabilities. MCSC is dangerously over-reliant on federal funding for administrative and programmatic support. Over 85% ofMCSC's budget can be traced directly back to CNS . It is important to note that MCSC is a strong supporter of CNS's agenda including national service and the focus on "getting things done." In addition, MCSC has advocated tirelessly for the survival and growth of CNS funding in the spirit of promoting national service as a creative way of community problem solving. However, heavy reliance on any one source of funding leaves MCSC, and the volunteer field vulnerable. The one constant force working in MCSC' s favor may be MCSC strong partnerships. Many of the organizations originally involved with the MCSC's creation remain in existence today. MCSC's recently developed an unique partnership with the Family Independence Agency (a State agency) by bring AmeirCorps resources to their Volunteer Services Department. MCSC's Unified State Plan, required by CNS, brought together several statewide organizations to build a plan for coordination of national service programs. Beyond this initiatives, however, there are no functional and regular mechanisms hosted by MCSC to bring together key organizations to the volunteer infrastructure in Michigan around a real tangible task. MCSC' s role as a convener has not been totally suppressed, just significantly Michigan Community Service Commission Four-Year Plan for Development & Transition Page 11 �reduced. Even beyond these critical issues, MCSC must be able to articulate not only its purpose, but also its value to society and to the lives of Michigan's citizenry. Within the three main functions of MCSC (catalyst, convener, broker) there are three key questions MCSC must effectively and accurately answer over the next two to four years. 1. Has the MCSC lived up to its charge to promote and coordinate service and volunteerism in Michigan? 2. What role(s) has MCSG played well and what ones has it not played well? 3. Based on the previous answers, is MCSC a necessary component of the service and volunteer movement in this state? How? lfMCSC is found to be a necessary part of Michigan's service and volunteer infrastructure, MCSC must develop a strategy to address the afore,etiti<;ned critical f' issues-finding a stable administrative and physical home for MCSC that affords it meaningful access to the public, not-for-profit and profit sectors of our society; develo ing a .... diverse funding base; and maintaining a strong, non-partisan leadership role in Michigan's service and volunteer field. V. Dealing with the Critical Issues In the short term, MCSC must deal with the way it does business today. Specifically, MCSC must reflect on five major questions: • How will MCSC build new alliances, strengthen existing partnerships, and celebrate all collaborative efforts of MCSC with organizations that share MCSC's philosophy of instilling an ethic of service to community in every Michigan citizen? Michigan Community Service Commission Four-Year Plan for Development & Transition Page 12 �• How will MCSC remain at the center of the various sectors of society in a way that promotes, invites and facilitates dialog around the ethic of service to community and civic renewal? • How will MCSC continue to develop and maintain the highest quality local and national service programs in Michigan? • How will MCSC seek: out new forms of human and financial support that buttress the work of not only this statewide agency, but nonprofits around the state that share MCSC' s vision? • How will MCSC maintain its leadership role in service and volunteerism in the state and the national arenas? To achieve the goals implicit in these questions, MCSC needs to detail specific outcomes, the steps necessary to achieve those outcomes, and the resources required. VI. Desired Outcomes • MCSC, in meaningful partnership with other organizations in the field: is perceived as a host or neutral place for all the sectors of our society to come together to deal with issues related to service and volunteerism. • MCSC manages one of the nation's highest quality portfolios of AmeriCorps and Learn and Serve programs. • MCSC facilitates the creation of a emerging leaders pipeline, job bank or a human resource pool that seeks out potentially high quality leaders and staff for MCSC and its partner organizations to consider as they deal with high tum over rates. • MCSC facilitates the creation of a fund development resource for emerging and struggling volunteer oriented nonprofits that identifies, brokers and builds up the capacity of those nonprofits to access potential sources of support. • MCSC continues to work with like organizations to influence national policy and share best practices around issues of service and volunteerism Michigan Community Service Commission Four-Year Plan for Development & Transition Page 13 �VII. Steps • Reorganize MCSC internal administrative structures - Build management tier structure - Invest in current staff through skills development and career development processes - Define staff roles, responsibilities, and professional development plans - Create office procedure,s and protocols with fair expectations and achievable goals - Define and develop administrative policies and procedures that structure a comfortable and productive work envirqnment. -Create and maintain strict, u er-friendly and accurate reporting mechanisms for external distribution, internal monitoring d future planning, ,.. • , Collaboration, Collaboration, Collaboration and Communication - Renew, celebrate and cement existing, partnerships and alliances around similar missions of service to community. }' - Develop specific tasks for MCSC and its partner organizations'that work to raise the knowledge and awareness of Michigan's citizens concerning issues of service and volunteerism. - Convene statewide partner organizations to constantly assess the work of the field to determine maximum effectiveness, sharing of vital resources and coordination of efforts. - Continually search for new ways to forge new alliances with "nontraditional" organizations representing the profit, not-for-profit and public sectors of our society. - Coordinate solicitations for financial support with other statewide service and volunteer organizations to maximize resources and galvanize the field. - Educate various sectors of society and their constituencies about service and volunteerism in a way that is unified with partner organizations. Michigan Community Service Commission Four-Year Plan for Devel opment & Transition Page 14 �- Develop a "brand" that identifies and communicates how MCSC and all its partner organizations share a common vision for service and civic renewal. - Share funding opportunities will any and all organizations in a way that builds trust, ensures the field's stability and integrity and maximizes resources. - Build committees and events with the field that promote and encourage shared decision making. - Convene a series of meetings and events that focus attention on the service and volunteer field, assess the field's progress, successes and weaknesses, offer suggestions for continuous improvement based on the expertise in the state and around the nation. - Develop and maintain regular communication with the Governor's Office, key legislators, and members of congress. - Develop and maintain regular communication with Michigan communities and their service and volunteer oriented organizations. • Develop Diverse Funding Streams - Seek to scale back MCSC' s reliance on federal funding sources while maintaining high quality programming and administration. -Reach out to the for-profit sector in ways that appeal to their commitment to good corporate citizenship while providing valuable (and needed) resources to Michigan's communities. - Increase the number and quality of relationships with philanthropic institutions in Michigan and across the nation. - Develop and implement an annual mechanism with key legislators, congressional delegates and the state chief executives to educate and solicit support from state and federal sources. Michigan Community Service Commission Four-Year Plan for Development & Transition Page 15 �• Promote, Develop and Maintain Quality National and Community Service Programs - Create a management structure that emphasizes partnerships development, oversight and coordination. -Develop more a "user-friendly" reporting and monitoring devices that utilize current technologies (the World Wide Web). - Irilplement a comprehensive grant soliciting, monitoring and development plan for programs that will clearly (to the extent possible) forecast and explain the next four years. -Implement a broad based, compreHensive training and technical assistance program that is grounded in the best practices and that brokers needed expertise from qualified individuals and organizations currently serving the field. - Seek out and develop new program models that may be replicated in communities throughout the state and the nation. VIII. Required Resources • Better utilization of commissioners as experts, advocates, "friend-makers" and resource brokers (see Michigan Community Service Commission Operating Procedures.). • Continued levels of commitment and support from the state executive branch , especially the Governor for the mission and goals of MCSC. • Increased levels of financial and intellectual resources that will aid in focusing in on fund development, program quality, program development, training, technical assistance, outreach and effective administrative processes to serve the needs of MCSC and the field generally. • More permanent (but adaptable) administrative support and physical space for MCSC and its partner organizations in similar circumstances. • Regular events, meetings and programs that communicate the good work of MCSC, Michigan communities, and citizens of Michigan to the various sectors of our society (public, profit, not-for-profit).

I hope that everyone is enjoying this wonderful summer weather. As you all know things have been quite busy for us at the Michigan Community Service Commission (MCSC). We have recently finished several very successful special events (Volunteerism SuperConference, Fifth Annual Governor's Service Awards, Statewide Public Land Cleanup, Statewide Michigan's AmeriCorps Signature Service Project). In addition, we have hired three new staff members, including our new executive director, Kyle Caldwell. As things are finally settling down this summer, I thought it important to get a quick note out to the council. The Michigan Community Service Commission has truly benefitted from the dedicated individuals who represent the Senior Advisory Council. Most of the members have had the opportunity to serve on grant reviews, participate in the review of the Governor's Service Awards, attend MCSC meetings, and/or take part in MCSC sponsored conferences and trainings. These experiences have not only served as opportunities to the members but have provided a very valued service to MCSC. As you also know there has been a lot of discussion within the council about the true mission and work of the council. Because of the group's diverse geographic locations and busy volunteer schedules it has proven difficult to hold regular, well attended meetings. With this in mind, we have approached some key members of the senior volunteer community to discuss how we should best proceed with the council. As we enter these discussions we will put on hold any future Senior Council meetings. We will however, continue to make available, to all council members, MCSCsponsored trainings, conferences, reviews, newsletters, publications, notice of available grants, etc. It is our hope to send a follow-up to this letter before the end of the summer. Again, I hope that the warm weather is treating you well. If you have any questions, please call me at (517)3354295 . P.S. I thought you might like aT-shirt from this summer's Michigan's AmeriCorps Signature Service Project.
