Romney Lansing , Telephone FAX Executive Director Kyle Caldwell S. Capitol Ave . Bldg ., 4th Floor Michigan 48913 (517) 335-4295 (517) 373-4977 MEMORANDUM TO: Members of the MCSC Executive Committee Michelle Engler, Chair Terry Pruitt, Vice Chair Julie Cummings, Dorothy Johnson, Joel Orosz (absent) FROM: Kyle Caldwell, Executive Director RE: Summary of 8113/99 Meeting DATE: August 23, 1999 /Cj- Thank you once again for your active participation in the August 13, 1999 meeting of the Executive Committee. The following is a summary of our discussion, facilitated via conference call, with Commissioners Cummings, Engler, Johnson, and Pruitt participating. Commissioner Orosz was unable to participate due to prior commitments. Au~:ust • 13. 1999 Meetin~: of the MCSC Executive Committee Review work of standing committees The Board Development Committee reviewed the terms expiring September 30, 1999 and drafted a recommendation to the full commission for term limits on those serving three consecutive terms beginning with those whose terms would expire in 2000. The Executive Committee recommended the following the language: Commissioners of the Michigan Community Service Commission shall serve not more than three (3), three-year terms consecutively beginning with those whose terms would expire in fiscal 2000 with the exception of the current and former serving chairs. The modified language will be incorporated in the committee's recommendation to the full commission at the September 24, 1999 meeting. �Summary of 8/13/99 Meeting • Page2 Review agenda for September 24, 1999 meeting and September 25, 1999 Commissioner Retreat Members of the Executive Committee reviewed and approved the agenda for the meetings. The Committee also discussed the goals and objectives of the Commissioner Retreat with the facilitator, Ms. Jean Burkhardt. Ms. Burkhardt explained the pre-retreat planning steps we will undertake to assess the interests and needs of other commissioners. Mr. Caldwell and Ms. Burkhardt will customize the agenda accordingly. In addition, the members requested that Mr. Caldwell host a conference call of all new Commission members in order to brief them on what the agenda will cover and expectations for each of them. Finally, members requested that the attire requirements for the retreat be informal to make for the maximum comfort of the participants. Members of the committee requested that some clear and concise briefing materials be developed and incorporated in the materials to be mailed out by August 31, 1999. As part of the meeting, members requested that a number of brief, simple and clear illustrations be developed to explain the MCSC, its history and its current initiatives. Members also requested that the Commissioners leave the Retreat with specific tasks and responsibilities. • Other items The next ConnectMichigan Legislative Breakfast is tentatively scheduled for the morning of April13, 1999. (Our original discussion slated April20, 1999, but I was mistaken concerning that date). Members of the Committee requested that a Commissioner Mentoring program be created to indoctrinate new commissioners to the MCSC. Members also requested that a recognition program be incorporated into the commissioner term expiration process. Ms. John son and Mr. Caldwell will work to make this part of the charge to the MCSC Board Development Committee. Members of the committee were reminded that it was time for the annual review of the Executive Director. Mr Pruitt agreed to assemble all the necessary materials and distribute to the other members of the Commission. Mr. Pruitt has facilitated this process for the previous two permanent Executive Directors, and therefore all members agreed that he should proceed to do so again. I am delighted to inform the Executive Committee the we have filled the Director of Programs Position. As you know, we have been working for one-year now to establish and post this position within the Civil Service System, interview and select a final candidate and make a final offer that is accepted. After an exhaustive national search, I am proud to say that the candidatewill likely be joining the MCSC on September 7, 1999. Unfortunately, because of certain Civil Service rules and procedures, I am unable to release the name of the final candidate at this time. I will share this information with you as soon as I am legally able. Due to the balancing forces of the universe, a perverse sense of humor by a higher being, a deficiency in my staff retention management skills or just plain bad luck, Mr. Phil Chvojka, our recently hired Training and Technical Assistance Coordinator has accepted a higher level position with the Michigan Department of Community Health. The refilling of this position will be one of Director of Programs ' first tasks. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Cap itol Ave . George W. Romney Bldg ., 4th Floor Lans ing , Michigan 48913 Telephone (517) 335-4295 FAX (517) 373-4977 Executive Director Kyle Caldwell MEMORANDUM TO: Members and Friends of the Michigan Community Service Commission FROM: Kyle Caldwell, Executive Director RE: Executive Director' s Report DATE: August 26, 1999 "Things are really happening there!" and "I love working with you guys because you just get it done!" are statements that the MCSC staff have been hearing over the past five months from our partners and constituents. Despite staffing set backs, the MCSC staff have delivered on all their commitments, expanded the number and scope of the MCSC' s activities, and taken a hard look at internal processes for areas of improvement. I cannot over stress the satisfaction I have for their accomplishments and pride in workmanship. This report will review only a fraction of the staff accomplishments, but they should provide a good illustration of the type of work staff have completed. Our staffing shortages required that I act as the Acting Director of Programs. Because so much of my time was spent in that area of the organization a tremendous amount of my report will articulate some of the accomplishments and changes in our programs. In the "Insights on the Vision" portion of this report, I will lay the foundation for our retreat and provide you with some national context that should help spur your thinking about the MCSC' s role in helping form the national and community service field. These are exciting times for the field and I am delighted to experience them with you! �Making It Happen Michigan's AmeriCorps Program Sustainability The MCSC has been the official and sole fiduciary for state AmeriCorps program in Michigan since its inception in 1993. We are now going on our seventh year of overseeing and supporting Michigan's AmeriCorps grantees. Some ofthe grantees in our current portfolio were among the initial grantees from 1994. Hence, we have funded some grantees continuously for going on six years. As you may recall, when we devised our original strategies, we wanted AmeriCorps in Michigan to be community based, community driven and community supported. Today, our program portfolio does not accurately or effectively represent that vision. So, rather than arbitrarily change the MCSC's application procedures and require a substantial match and place a cut off point, the staff decided to gain the opinions of practioners and recommend policy changes based on their input. But before we could ask questions concerning the way MCSC funds programs, we had to know who we are as a funder. After several intense meetings of staff around our vision of what the MCSC should do as a grant maker, we came to common goals and values. Then we took those goals and values and discussed how we thought the public viewed us as a grant maker (see Program Staff memo dated August 13, 1999). Finally, we discussed what we saw as areas of strengths and areas for improvement. Out of all of this discussion came a plan to determine how our processes as the funder of AmeriCorps in Michigan should work. The MCSC staff convened a dialogue of current and past Michigan's AmeriCorps grantees. On August 5, 1999, individuals representing a wide variety of program models and experiences were convened to discuss four very fundamental questions concerning Michigan' s AmeriCorps programs: • For what length of time, at what level, and under what criteria should the MCSC provide grantees, in the AmeriCorps Program portfolio, with continued funding? • Should the MCSC establish levels of program performance that would be used to judge a grantee's future funding level? 2 �• What level of effort, taken by programs at the local level, would constitute having met the MCSC's concept of successfully "working toward sustainability?" • What types and levels of overall AmeriCorps program evaluation should the MCSC undertake in the coming year? Their answers to these questions and advice to the MCSC are included in the attached memo dated August 13, 1999. Based on this dialogue, the MCSC will incorporate the following language in the next Michigan's AmeriCorps RFP. This language does not state any new policy. It merely reaffirms what we said at the inception of Michigan's AmeriCorps and prepares programs for any potential changes we might consider in the future. The Michigan Community Service Commission (MCSC) is re-examining its renewal application process and its goals as a grant maker. As a result, programs will need to carefully weight their ability to increasingly support their activities with annual decreasing federal support. The M CSC feels that given the unpredictable nature offederalfundingfor AmeriCorps, our mutual goals of sustainable impact through local support and control, and the desire to broaden the opportunities for other communities to experience the power of AmeriCorps, a pro-active plan for distributing resources is needed. While the details of the funding plan for Michigan's AmeriCorps is new, the philosophy upon which it is based is not. The MCSC has long held that AmeriCorps is a powerful tool for community building, individual development and creating demonstrable impact where people live. As a state agency charged to enable all citizens, including youth, to engage in public problem solving through service and volunteerism, the MCSC must work to affect as many individuals and organizations as possible. This is why the MCSC has encouraged grantees to seek increase local match while requesting reduced levels offederal support for the AmeriCorps programs. Therefore, beginning with the 2000 program year, all Michigan's AmeriCorps programs should prepare for the possibility of decreased federal funding base secured through the M CSC. The MCSC believes that this will provide more funding for new programs while encouraging existing programs to secure increased local support. 3 �Diana Rodriguez Algra was instrumental in developing this dialogue. I want to personally thank her and the Family Independence Agency for her assistance. Helping Recognize Volunteers Even More Following our ConnectMichigan Legislative Breakfast in April, I had the opportunity to speak to the Governor and Commissioner Orosz regarding the role the Michigan Community Service Commission (MCSC) plays in providing public recognition of volunteer efforts in Michigan. Specifically, Governor Engler proposed the creation of a Volunteer Recognition Clearinghouse. Attached you will find our response to the Governor's call to action. In the letter to the Governor' s Chief of Staff, Sharon Rothwell, you will note that we are linking our outreach and recruitment processes for the Governor's Service Awards with national volunteer recognition programs. In addition, we hope to increase the number of times Michigan's volunteers are highlighted in national media spots focussed on volunteer efforts. Taking Service-Learning to the Next Level Key partner organizations have been working to get service-learning on the "radar" or policy makers and other "movers and shakers" in the state. On May 4, 1999 the Council of Michigan Foundations, K-12 Philanthropy Project, Michigan Department of Education and the Michigan Community Service Commission hosted a meeting to further develop and craft a comprehensive vision for service-learning in Michigan. For several months prior, the members of the Service Learning Leadership Council (SLLC) and other state and local partners met to discuss the challenges we all face in our attempts to build an ethic of service and volunteerism in our youth. Now, through extensive planning and research, we have been able to identify some of our most pressing challenges. We feel that it is time for a new vision for service-learning in Michigan and we have asked key players to be a part of creating this vision (see participant list). The May 4 meeting was a success and resulted in the Michigan Department of Education devoting a full-time staff member to the Learn & SERVE School-based program. You may recall that the responsibilities of this program have traditionally been assigned to staff with several additional responsibilities. This was a major step forward. Now, we are working to continue on this successful track by requesting support from the W.K. Kellogg Foundation for a full-time servicelearning coordinator who will be responsible for advancing service-learning on the policy and 4 �research fronts (see letter to Christine Kwak dated Sept. 30, 1999). If funded, this initiative will move service-learning from being a portion of several individuals' duties, to being the focus of one highly qualified individual who will bring all players together to talk about how we join community and education together and focus on building an ethic of service in our youth. The MCSC staff (beaded up by Angelia Salas) is honored and excited to have been asked by the Service-Learning Leadership Council to be a major player in this initiative. Quality Standards and Compliance Issues As Garry noted in his report, the MCSC recently completed an audit by the Michigan Inspector General's office on our AmeriCorps programs. The MCSC staff are proud to note that while there were some minor issues, there were no fmdings. My personal kudos to the Finance and Administration staff on developing and maintaining an effective and efficient records systems. The U.S. Inspector General is conducting audits of state commissions. The first round appears to be targeted at small states. Iowa is the first state of our program cluster to be targeted. When we were first notified of the possibility that state commissions might be audited, we began an intensive review of all administrative and programmatic systems in case our state was selected as one of the first to be reviewed. Since we have just completed the state audit without major concerns, we anticipate no major audit issues at this time. The MCSC staff are also preparing for a quality standards review that is being tested by the Corporation for National Service. This review is intended to give state commissions a certified rating by the CNS and other commission staff much like the North Central Evaluation accreditation that educational institutions seek in the education arena. State commissions that become accredited through these standards would be given certain waivers including the ability to submit a state funding plan every three years instead of annually. The staff are eager to become accredited, but have serious reservations on how the evaluation process is taking shape (see memo dated August 18, 1999 and response letter from Commissioner Orosz dated August 19, 1999). I will keep you apprised of any developments. 5 �When opportunity calls, sometimes you just have to answer the phone. The Michigan Community Service Commission has been tapped to administer a portion of the Tobacco Settlement funds in Michigan. Garry's memo spelled out the logistics (to the extent that we know them) of how these funds will be disbursed and our role in making it happen. I want to tell you how the MCSC got involved-! answered the phone. When I was informed by the Governor' s Office, the Department of Management and Budget and the Council of Michigan Foundations that a portion of the Tobacco Settlement funds would be channeled through us, I asked, "Why us? We didn't seek to go after these funds ." The answer was clear, "Because you have the relationships." The MCSC has been working closely with the Council of Michigan Foundations on a number of initiatives including: Michigan CARES, America's Promise, Volunteer Investment Grants, service-learning, and the list goes on. But this relationship is not the exception, staff like to think of it as the rule-the bench mark. We are proud to present the MCSC with yet another layer to this relationship and look to build other similar ties to other organizations in the field. Recently, I was asked and I agreed to serve as the co-chair of the planning committee for the 2000 Volunteerism SuperConference. This is a great honor the MCSC and a wonderful opportunity to help craft the agenda and outcomes of the first mega-gathering of the field in the next century. Kathy Rossow of the Southwestern Michigan Volunteer Center is the other co-chair for the conference. Kathy is a great asset to Michigan and the field and someone with whom we have worked with very well on a number of initiatives including the Volunteer Investment Grants. To my knowledge, it is a rare occurrence to have a state commission and a nationally renown member of the volunteer center network work side by side on a state's premiere conference on volunteerism. This is a fine illustration of how far the MCSC has come in its relationship development with other organizations and the progressive thinking of the field in general. Quality Additions to Staff I am proud to announce the return of the Points of Light Foundation Youth Engaged in Service Ambassador program to the Michigan Community Service Commission. The MCSC was the first state commission in the nation to have a YES Ambassador. The return of this position affords the MCSC the opportunity to more effectively address the leadership, needs and concerns of Michigan's youth and gives our youth advisory council (MYPAC) a single and dedicated point of 6 �focus and support. Jill Manlove will begin her term with the MCSC on September 13, 1999. Jill comes to us from Minnesota where she has just finished nearly a year long commitment with the Lutheran Volunteer Corps at the Saint Paul, Minnesota.Volunteer Center (see resume and cover letter attached). Jill will report directly to the Executive Director and be afforded a mentor team that will help guide her in her ambassador duties. The process for filling the Director of Programs position is coming to an end! Ms. Paula Kaiser will be starting September 7, 1999 (see resume attached). We are very excited to have Paula return to Michigan. Paula has been working the national scene with the American Association of State Service Commissions (AASSC). Adding to her list of already significant accomplishments, Paula convened national meetings of America's Promise coordinators, AASSC members and others to discuss the latest issues of national and community service. In addition, Paula worked with many states, including Michigan, as a consultant to improve commissions' internal and external processes. We are delighted to bring such a valuable resource back to Michigan ........ where she belongs. Phil Chvojka, our Training and Technical Assistance (T&TA) Coordinator has moved on to a new position within state government (see memo attached). The T &TA position will (hopefully) be filled within the next 60 days. Ms. Rodriguez Algra will be filling in for this position for the month of September as part of her duties under the CIVIC program (see February 19, 1999 board packet). Insights on the Vision Unified State Service Plan The MCSC staff have been working with the Unified State Service Plan partners to create a longterm and comprehensive vision and action plan for service and volunteerism in Michigan. This work was initiated by Commission Pruitt as the Interim Executive Director of the MCSC. Commissioner's work with the partners produced a foundation from which to maintain the partnership and the work they currently do in collaboration for Michigan's volunteers. The partners requested that we now take the Unified State Service Plan to the next level. The MCSC staff have convened a number of meetings of the partners and secured a facilitator to begin 7 �crafting this new vision on service. The result is a comprehensive, yet flexible vision and action plan. A draft of the plan is articulated in the memo attached and dated August 23, 1999. This plan is still in draft form! To finalize and codify the plan, the partnership has developed a dissemination plan that involves focus groups and questionnaires to assess the opinions of the field. As a final and concrete demonstration of the field's commitment to the plan, the partners will host a public endorsement ceremony at the biennial Volunteerism Superconference May 18-19,2000. The National Perspective Beyond 2000 As I have mentioned numerous times in past reports, the MCSC has grown from a small twoperson agency to a 15 member staff state agency with over $13 million in granting responsibilities (this figure takes into account that the MCSC will grant $6.5 million in CNS funds, $1 million in State of Michigan Funds and $7 million in Tobacco Settlement monies for community foundations). And even with this growth in responsibilities and relationships, the MCSC remains in a vulnerable position. Michigan is not unique in this arena. No state in the union is able to boast that their state service commission is fully immune from political and fmancial uncertainties. To build sustainability for state level coordination of service and volunteerism, we must first convince policy makers that we are not about partisanship. In fact, state service commissions are one of the few state agencies that are mandated to be nonpartisan. So, how do we get out of the line of fire of congressional and presidential politics? We need to get the word out. The MCSC staff are working with the American Volunteer Action League (AV AL), headed by Frank Dirks, to convene a dialogue of state commission directors to map out a strategy for service in the states "Beyond 2000" (see, "Dear Colleague" letter dated August 19, 1999). We hope to have a comprehensive white paper to share with the field and use to encourage policy makers to see the wisdom, value and power of national service. On another front, the MCSC is also deeply involved with the American Association of State Service Commissions (AASSC) to build the leadership and capacity of state commissions. AASSC, through the leadership of committed visionaries like our own Terry Pruitt, is recovering from some serious staffing and capacity shortfalls by hiring some of the field's best consultants, Edward Weaver formerly with the Ewing Marion Kauffman Foundation and Abby Walters formerly with the Florida Commission (see AASSC memo dated August 12, 1999). The MCSC continues to steward a $100,000 grant from the Ford Foundation in support of the AASSC and 8 �Commissioner Pruitt continues to serve on the Steering Committee. I will keep you apprised of any further developments as they arise. The MCSC is now truly out in front. We are now deeply and significantly influencing the voice of youth and national service with our membership to and leadership in AASSC and our assistance to AVAL; our presence on the boards of America's Promise: The Alliance for Youth, the Corporation for National Service, the Points of Light Foundation, the W.K. Kellogg Foundation, the C.S . Mott Foundation, and many other leader organizations in the field. To stay out in front, we have to address some critical questions. The 1999 MCSC Retreat I will confess, I do not have the answers to all the critical questions we need to address to ensure that Michigan citizens are enabled to engage in pubic problem solving through service and volunteerism. I do have the answer to one question, however. How to we begin to enable our citizens to recognize and practice the role they play in helping develop our civil society? By strengthening the institutions that hold civic and community engagement as part of their core mission. The MCSC is one of those institutions. Now the hard questions: Where are we going? How will we get there? What is our current capacity? Who is going to do all this? Who is out there to help? Who can we help? These are difficult questions, but I am confident that you and the staff who support you along with Michigan's other dedicated volunteers, can get the right answers. Our retreat is the first step. 9 � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

I have added/omitted the few tasks we agreed upon. I am also enclosing a draft of the cover letter and postcard that will accompany the Unified State Service Plan (USSP) when it is sent to the partner organization's local offices/grantees/etc. Please fax or e-mail me changes to any of these three documents (USSP, cover letter, postcard) by Friday, August 27. On a personal note, I am very proud of what we have developed here. Imagine, when we gather in May, we will have collected the wisdom of the volunteer sector in Michigan, written it down in one document and requested the endorsement of the entire field! Don't quote me (and I will research this before the SuperConference in May), but I am quite certain that no other state in the nation has been able to take its unified state service plan out to this many constituents nor has any other state been able to craft such a "future thinking" document. I am also proud of our ability to think large. Michigan is one of a handful of states that recognizes the value of bringing together all of the elements of its volunteer sector to network, learn and plan for the future. Our plans to roll this document out at the 2000 Volunteerism SuperConference demonstrates our ability to think globally and act collaboratively. As the co-chair of the SuperConference Planning Committee, I commit to making this plan and its presentation, a major component at our May conference. Thank you for being such a pivotal part of this process and for your support of Michigan's volunteers. Please fax or e-mail me any final changes/additions to the USSP, the cover letter and/or the postcard by Friday, August 27. Additions to the Stakeholders List for Focus Groups are due no later than August, 31 . �Michigan's Unified State Service Plan The following document was developed by a number of leaders in the field of service and volunteerism in Michigan over the course of nine months. They include: the Michigan Community Service Commission, the Michigan Department of Education, the Corporation for National Service -Michigan Office, the Michigan Nonprofit Association, and the Michigan Office on Services to the Aging. Other organizations have been involved in building the grounding principles of this document including: the Council of Michigan Foundations, Michigan Family Independence Agency, Volunteer Centers of Michigan, Michigan Campus Compact, United Way of Michigan, and the K-12 Philanthropy Project. This document is offered as a work in progress and is intended to invite comments, additions and corrections from the field. The intent is to craft a single document that can begin to state Michigan's core principles and practices as they relate to service and volunteerism. We hope that this document will become a mantra for Michigan and our intent is to craft language that can be embraced by the field at the 2000 Volunteerism SuperConference. PREAMBLE We, the institutions, organizations and individuals that make up the service and volunteerism field in Michigan, have come together to recognize the tremendous value, benefits and responsibilities that come with people serving the needs of others. We know the power of one individual to positively impact people, institutions and communities through service and volunteerism. We recognize that we live in a time of enormous prosperity and wealth, but also see that there are many who are not the beneficiaries of this great fortune. We see all of these factors that control our society and know that, if there were ever a time to build effective and sustainable problem-solving models, now is the time and Michigan is the place! We believe that Michigan will be a better community if we strengthen our people; the places and organizations where we work, worship and serve; and the communities in which we live. VISION Michigan is a community comprised of individuals young and old, who are actively and continuously engaged in strengthening communities through action-oriented service and volunteerism. �KEY PRINCIPLES Strengthening Individuals We believe that individuals must develop a genuine understanding of the reciprocal benefits of service and volunteerism and demonstrate a clear appreciation for the power of service to positively impact community needs. -We must substantially increase our awareness about the need to volunteer. - We must substantially increase our awareness about the availability of specific volunteer opportunities throughout every stage of our lives. -We must learn and demonstrate that we know that the person who serves others benefits as much as the person(s) served. Strengthening Communities We believe that communities must work to ensure that service and volunteerism are significantly integrated into their very fabric including their practices, beliefs, and institutions. -We must look to build academic service-learning into the curriculum of educational institutions. - We must look to utilize the strength and expertise of institutions of faith in our service and volunteer initiatives. - We must take our personal commitments to serve to the work place and help build good corporate citizenship. - We must have family members serve together to build stronger families and stronger communities. Strengthening Organizations/Institutions We believe that organizations and institutions must work to ensure that there is expanded cooperation and coordination between all service and volunteer network partners. - We must ensure that state level public, private and social sector organizations look to each other for opportunities to join forces and share resources. -We must ensure that institutions in all Michigan communities cooperate in ways that represent increased capacities for Michigan to respond to and meet community needs. -We must continuously seek out new alliances and new partnerships to respond to the everchanging social, economic, and political realities of our communities. �KEY GOALS We operationalize our Unified State Service Plan around a five component model that identifies our goals for positive community action in Michigan: We will promote, sustain and enhance service and volunteerism by raising public awareness, strengthening infrastructures, developing resources and networks, and mobilizing of people. Public Awareness We will conduct activities aimed at increasing public awareness of volunteer and service initiatives in Michigan.

Regardless of party, he or she will bring a new administration and new ideas. All new players will be leading federal agencies, including the Corporation for National Service. As in any time of change, those with clarity of purpose and a compelling vision for the future will do well. Just as the Prophet Isaiah warns: "Without a vision, the people will perish." As state commission directors, we believe that the strength of the national service system comes from the work and leadership of states and communities. We believe that now is the time to forge a path of leadership that demonstrates beyond question national service is here to stay. We believe that service and volunteering are not just rhetoric, rather, they represent serious practical methods of community problem-solving and they build the context for effective policies for implementing new ideas. Accordingly, we are extending this special invitation for you to join us in an initial meeting to map out a strategy for service in the states Beyond 2000. We plan to use this meeting to launch what we are calling the Beyond 2000 initiative, which will set in motion a series of activities that we hope will get our message out while welcoming others in our field to join us. We are asking anyone who joins us to make the commitment of time and energy necessary for our efforts to succeed. The Beyond 2000 meeting will be held in Lansing, Michigan on Sunday, October 3rd and Monday, October 4th. The American Volunteer Action League (AV AL) is assisting us with planning and logistics.

Cap itol Ave . George W. Romney Bldg ., 4th Floor Lansing , Michigan 48913 Telephone (5 17) 335-4295 FAX (517) 373-4977 July 29, 1999 Ms. Sharon Rothwell Chief of Staff Office of the Governor 111 S. Capital Avenue George W. Romney Building, 2nd Floor Lansing, Michigan 48913 Dear Ms. Rothwell: Recently, I had the opportunity to speak to the Governor and Dr. Joel Orosz of the W.K. Kellogg Foundation regarding the role the Michigan Community Service Commission (MCSC) plays in providing public recognition of volunteer efforts in Michigan. Specifically, Governor Engler proposed the creation of a Volunteer Recognition Clearinghouse. The MCSC is charged with providing public recognition and support of volunteer efforts that address community needs by individuals, by private sector organizations and businesses, and by partnerships between the public and private sectors (see PA 219 of 1994). In addition to the MCSC's current work in this area, we discussed how the MCSC can better disseminate information on recognition opportunities, initiate the submission of volunteer recognition nominations, and assist the Governor and First Lady in recognizing our state's many wonderful volunteers. With the direction provided by the Governor and Dr. Orosz, I am pleased to present to you and to the Governor, information on current MCSC initiatives that support our role as one of Michigan' s volunteer recognition clearinghouses, as well as our future plans to expand our role in this area. The MCSC continuously researches and disseminates information on local, statewide and national volunteer recognition opportunities/awards. Within the next year we expect to provide information on more than 200 volunteer recognition opportunities. The information will be available on the MCSC web page, with hotlinks to the appropriate award web pages where available. The information will also be available through the MCSC's written publications (available to the general public and to our 16,000 name database) . In addition, through the statewide ConnectMichigan public awareness campaign, the MCSC will share this information with local volunteer centers, United Way offices, community foundations, Michigan Family Independence Agency volunteer services coordinators, MSU Extension offices, and other nonprofit and for-profit organizations so that they might share the information with local volunteers as well as nominate local volunteers for recognition awards. �The MCSC will also continue to initiate the submission of state and national volunteer recognition nominations. Our office will submit, of behalf on the Governor and Mrs. Engler, nominations for the annual President's Service Awards and the Award for Excellence in Corporate Community Service. (Nominees will be selected through the annual Governor's Service Awards.) In addition, the MCSC encourages youth volunteerism by providing matching scholarships to students who are recognized by their school and by the Corporation for National Service, through the President' s Student Service Scholarships program, for their outstanding volunteer service to their community. Lastly, we assist the Governor and First Lady in recognizing our state's volunteers. For the seventh year, the MCSC will host the Governor's Service Awards. This annual event generates more than 300 nominations, with the Governor and Mrs. Engler recognizing each of these volunteers for their tremendous volunteer service. The MCSC also co-sponsors the annual Make A Difference Day in Michigan volunteer initiative. More than 75,000 volunteers participate and are recognized by the Governor and First Lady. The MCSC will continue to work with the Governor' s Office and the Office of the First Lady so that they might become the first in the country to formally recognize the recipients of the Daily Points of Light Awards. These recipients are currently recognized through the ConnectMichigan News (formerly the MCSC quarterly newsletter). We hope that the Governor is pleased with our current efforts and future plans to serve as one of the State's volunteer recognition clearinghouses. The MCSC would like to thank the Governor for his vision and direction to expand the MCSC' s role in recognizing our greatest resource - citizens who give to their community. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact Lindy Lange of our office at (517) 335-4295. Sincerely, /5{'(2~ Kyle Caldwell cc: Michelle Engler Joel Orosz _ � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

The Celebration will formally swear-in the AmeriCorps members and kick-off the 1999-2000 program year. In the past, the first opportunity for the members to come together has been the Signature Service Project, held in May. A majority of our programs begin their year in the fall and feel an event of this magnitude needs to occur earlier in the year. More than 300 members, representing Michigan's AmeriCorps state programs, National Direct, Promise Fellows and VISTA's are invited to attend the event at the Michigan State University Student Union, in East Lansing, Michigan (see aggregate numbers attached). The purpose of this event is to bring the members and fellows together so they begin to understand the magnitude of national service programs, as well as their roles as an agent of change in their community. Throughout the day, members/fellows will have the opportunity to learn more about other programs, as well as meeting members from across the state. The goal is to create a network of support for members and to increase their understanding of AmeriCorps as a national service movement. As a result, members will open lines of communications and utilize the resources of other programs. Other states have been sponsoring similar events for their members for the past few years. The Celebration is being organized as the direct result of feedback we received from our Michigan's AmeriCorps state programs, as well as feedback from AmeriCorps members in Ohio, Illinois and Minnesota. We are using the feedback of the other states, as well as the advice of our members, �in planning our Celebration agenda. Ideally, we would like to make the Celebration an annual event. The tentative agenda has been enclosed. I would appreciate your feedback as to how we can best help our members to understand the magnitude ofNational Service in Michigan. I would also invite you to speak during the opening remarks and welcome to the Celebration, as well as at the panel discussion are scheduling during the lunch hour. If you have any further questions, please let me know. �Member Celebration FridaY:, October 29_, 1999 Tentative Agenda 9:00-9:45 a.m. Registration and Refreshments 9:45-10:00 a.m. Welcome & Introductions 10:00-10:15 a.m. What is National Service?

Welcome and Introduction- Kyle Caldwell The meeting was called to order at 12:30 p.m.by Mr. Caldwell. Mr. Caldwell welcomed everyone to the meeting. Chairperson Engler joined the meeting via conference call. II. Review of December 11, 1998 Minutes- Kyle Caldwell Commissioner Neelis moved to approve the December 11, 1998 minutes. Commissioner Brandell seconded the motion and the minutes were approved. Motion passed unanimously. III. Standing Committee Reports A. Executive Committee- Kyle Caldwell Mr. Caldwell gave an overview of the March 12, 1999 Executive Committee meeting. Mr. Caldwell stated that the Legislative Breakfast was set for April 22, 1999 at the Lansing Center and that the Governor and Mrs. Engler were confirmed to attend the breakfast. Mr. Caldwell informed the MCSC that he, Mary Estrada and Lindy Lange would be staffmg the event. A briefmg packet was developed for each commissioner and was in their commission packet. Mr. Caldwell stated that a commissioner retreat would be held in September in conjunction with the Commission meeting.

Reports by Department from the MCSC staff- Kyle Caldwell A. Programming - Kyle Caldwell 1. Michigan's AmeriCorps Mr. Caldwell stated that, in their commission packet, were the results of the Michigan's AmeriCorps outreach and renewal application processes plus recommendations for the Michigan' s AmeriCorps Application to the Corporation for National Service (CNS) for FY 1999-00. a. Competitive Funding Application to CNS (approval item) Mr. Caldwell noted that the application included four Competitive Programs: Michigan Department of Agriculture: Michigan Groundwater Stewardship Program, Oakland University: AmeriCorps Oakland, United Way Community Services: Detroit Academic Success Program, University of Michigan: Michigan Neighborhood AmeriCorps Program. These programs all showed satisfactory progress toward their goals and some areas for improvement. The MCSC staff will work with each program to develop plans for addressing challenges. Three programs requested modest expansions and one program remained essentially at the same level of funding. This is consistent with the MCSC' s goal of building self-sustaining and cost effective programs. Mr. Caldwell stated that the MCSC staff received a Recompete Competitive Application from the Family Independence Agency (FIA). This program focuses on the goals of America's Promise by targeting children in Michigan and their access to the five fundamental resources. This is a large statewide corps that targets a needy population in a relatively cost effective manner. The FIA has been a grantee of the MCSC for three years with documentable successes. The FIA has identified anticipated challenges.and articulated plans for addressing them. Several commissioners asked questions about the programs' challenges, improvements and what the MCSC can do if programs do not meet these items. Mr. Caldwell stated that the MCSC can put programs on probation or discontinue their funding. The MCSC staff recommended that the four programs proposed requesting $1 ,269,722 in support of 70 full-time and 111 part-time be approved for inclusion in Michigan's Competitive Funds Application to the Corporation for National Service for FY 1999-00. In addition, the MCSC staff recommends that the Recompete Competitive Application from the Family Independence Agency requesting $456,957 for 40 full-time members be approved for inclusion in Michigan' s Application to the Corporation for National Service for FY 1999-00. 3 �Commissioner Johnson made a motion to approve the staff recommendations for all programs. Commissioner Neelis seconded the motion. Motion passed unanimously. Commissioner Williams abstained from voting. b. Formula Application to CNS (approval item) Mr. Caldwell explained that the staff recommended the continuation of funding for 13 of the programs currently funded through the MCSC's Formula Allocation from the Corporation for National Service for FY1999-00. Of the 13 programs, six requested modest increases to cover the costs of expansion efforts (American Red Cross, Creston Neighborhood AmeriCorps, Michigan Communities in Schools, Dreamcatchers, Rural Strategic Action Initiative, and Underground Railroad), two programs requested slightly less funding (Eastern Michigan University and SOS Crisis Center), and one program requested that it be allowed to expand to incorporate a program design presented as a new program, but was withdrawn by the applicant due to insufficient organizational capacity (BHK Child Development Board: Copper Country AmeriCorps). One program requested a $63,000 increase over the previous year with no increase in FfE's (Saginaw Public Schools). The MCSC staff recommended maintaining the funding level of the previous year for this program. Several programs identified a need to revise their objectives to more effectively guide and document the accomplishments of their programs. The MCSC staff contracted with Project STARR to provide training on how programs should work to create measurable objectives for maximum impact. Those objectives were reviewed by staff and incorporated into the renewal applications. Staff recommendations are based on at least one site visit, the program' s first quarter report and a Year 2-3 plan. The MCSC staff recommends that the 13 Renewal Formula Applications requesting $2,144,236 for 567 members be approved for inclusion in Michigan's Application to the Corporation for National Service for FY 1999-00. Commissioner Johnson made a motion to approve the staff recommendations for all programs. Commissioner McCarthy seconded the motion. Motion passed unanimously. c. New Applications to CNS (approval item) Mr. Caldwell explained that the MCSC held outreach sessions for FY 1999-00 Michigan's AmeriCorps which included two full-day workshops and a statewide mailing. The MCSC received twenty proposals and only four proposals advanced from the peer review to staff review. The MCSC staff worked with the four programs extensively to help them develop quality program designs. Of the 4 �four, only two programs were recommended. One of the two programs dropped out of the process so the MCSC had only one which appropriately addressed the criteria of the application and formed a program design that fit within the AmeriCorps design-City Year Detroit. Michigan is the next host state for the model on which AmeriCorps is based-City Year. City Year Detroit is scheduled to start up in the Fall of 1999. The program has broad based support including the Kresge Foundation, Henry Ford Health Systems, United Way Community Services and many others. The MCSC staff want to ensure that, as with all of its programs, MCSC funds are utilized in the most cost effective way possible. To ensure a level of cost control, the staff recommend including the City Year Detroit program in MCSC' s Formula Funds for FY 199900. This runs contrary to what other state commissions have done in the past. States have included City Year programs in their Competitive Funding pool thereby saving their Formula Funds for less competitive programs. By doing so, states have set up a quasidirect relationship between City Year programs and the Corporation for National Service. So long as the City Year programs were performing they could develop much of their programming, fundraising and operations as they deemed appropriate with less Commission involvement. Several commissioners asked questions regarding City Year funding: Who is their primary sponsor?, What are the pro's and con's of this program being located in Detroit? Mr. Caldwell explained that City Year's primary sponsor is the Kresge Foundation and the main City Year office is located in Massachusetts. Mr. Caldwell stated that this is a great opportunity for Detroit but that fundraising and recruitment has to be coordinated with existing programs. Chairperson Engler expressed concern about City Year coming to Detroit and taking attention, resources, and assistance away from existing programs in the Metro Detroit area. Commissioner Williams shares this concern, but supports bringing the program to Detroit. The staff of the MCSC recommend that the City Year Detroit program be funded for the requested $485,000 amount is support of 70 full-time members through Michigan's Formula Allocation from the Corporation for National Service for FY 1999-000. Mr. Caldwell explained that this represents 30% of City Year Detroit's funding. Commissioner Johnson made a motion to approve the staff recommendations for all programs. Commissioner Orosz seconded the motion. Motion passed unanimously. 5 �2. America's/Michigan's Promise- Mary Grill Ms. Grill reviewed the Michigan's Promise goals that are established to-date which are: • To talk with key stakeholders and visit the Community of Promise; listen to the opportunities and challenges; provide feedback, information, and resources; and assist, as appropriate, in problem solving. • To provide networking opportunities and channel national, statewide, and local information to Michigan's Communities of Promise. • To assist communities as they explore and implement the opportunity to become a Community of Promise. • To provide a realistic assessment of statewide commitments so communities can utilize appropriate resources. • To explore and engage new commitment makers on a statewide level. • To support and monitor the AmeriCorps Promise Fellows program. Ms. Grill also gave updates on the following: America's Promise-The Alliance for Youth 1999 Report to the Nation, Communities of Promise Site Map, AmeriCorps Promise Fellows Summary by Site. Ms. Grill announced that Michigan has 17 Communities of Promise with two communities working to become official Communities of Promise. Ms. Grill stated that Head Start has made a commitment and that through a partnership with the Corporation for National Service office in Detroit we have 10 sites of promise in our Communities of Promise were VISTA's will be working full-time at Head Start agencies to promote the Michigan's Promise goals. Ms. Grill stated that at the present time she is working on building an Advisory Board for the Communities of Promise and is working with the local communities. Commissioner Williams asked how the MCSC will evaluate and measure the success of the program. Ms. Grill said the success will be measured at the end of the project when communities do their year end report and during the program with monitoring and evaluation. Commissioner Williams stated that United Way Community Services is working with Jack Moore and Associates to develop an evaluation process that will set a standard statewide. Chairperson Engler stated that evaluation of programs at the national level is a concern and that America's Promise is working on this issue. 6 �Ms. Grill stated that eleven AmeriCorps Promise Fellows have been placed in seven communities throughout Michigan. Michigan is also fortunate to host five National Direct AmeriCorps Fellows. These individuals are placed with the following organizations: Youth Volunteer Corps of America- · EightCAP, Inc., National League of Cities-Michigan Municipal League, National Jewish Coalition for Literacy-Jewish Community Council of Metro Detroit, City Cares-Volunteer Impact. 3. Volunteer Investment Grants (VIG) Mr. Caldwell explained that at the December 11, 1999 commission meeting, the MCSC reviewed and approved the staff recommendations of the 1998 Michigan's Volunteer Investment Grant (MI-VIG) applications. At that time seventeen organizations were approved for 1999 MI-VIG program funding for a total amount of $805,000. In order to encumber the full one million dollar state allocation, the MCSC staff requested approval to offer a second round of 1999 MI-VIG funds. Mr. Caldwell stated that the following has occurred or will occur over the next quarter: grants were issued to all grantees, the MCSC hosted the first MI-VIG grantee meeting, the MCSC is developing a second round 1999 MI-VIG application, and visits to program sites will be scheduled to take place over the next three months. 4. Learn and SERVE Community-based Grants (approval item) Mr. Caldwell explained that the MCSC sent out Notice of Funds Available postcards and hosted two conference calls to assist potential applicants with the application process. As a result, the MCSC received a total of five renewal applications and six new program applications. A staff review of all renewal applications and a peer and staff review of the new applications were conducted. Renewal applicants were provided with feedback sheets that included lists of both strengths and areas for improvement. Renewal applicants were given time to respond in writing to the areas for improvement. After conducting a peer and staff review, the MCSC staff recommends: 1. Renewal funding for Volunteer Muskegon, City of Portage/Portage Senior Center, MSU 4-H Foundation for MSU Extension 4-H Youth Programs of Oakland County, and Onekama Consolidated School Education Foundation. The four renewal applicants responded satisfactorily to the issues raised during the staff review. 2. Provisional funding for Youth Volunteer Corps of Alpena County. Due to illness, the renewal applicant was granted a three-day extension for responding to their feedback. The areas for improvement listed during the staff review were not of critical concern and the staff is confident that the weaknesses will be addressed by April 1, 1999. 7 �3. That the new applications from the three Lake Huron Area Council #265, Boy Scouts of America programs, the Grand Ledge D.A.R.E./Grand Ledge Skate Committee, Camp Fire Boys and Girls Wathana Council, and EightCAP, Inc. not receive funding. Based on the approval of these recommended applications, $83,527 of the $157,500 FY99 Learn and SERVE-Michigan (CBO) budget will be expended. Our goal is to expend 100% of the available federal funds. Accordingly, a second round of grants will be made available to allocate the remaining $73,973 and any 1998 carry-over. Commissioner Johnson made a motion to approve the staff recommendations for all programs. Commissioner Smith seconded the motion. Motion passes unanimously. Ms. Salas talked about the work she has been doing with Karen Todorov of the Michigan Department of Education. Ms. Salas stated that they had been working on a strategic plan and there would be a Service-Learning Leadership Council meeting at Sugar Loaf Resort which would involve Michigan Department of Education, Council of Michigan Foundations, W. K. Kellogg Foundation and the MCSC. After this meeting there will be a policy planning meeting in May to discuss the development of policies for the long-term sustainability of service-learning in Michigan. B. Outreach and Fund Development - Lindy Lange 1. Sixth Annual Governor's Service Awards Ms. Lange announced that the Sixth Annual Governor's Service Awards dinner will be May 17, 1999 at the Novi Hilton, in conjunction with Grantmakers-Grantseekers. Ameritech has graciously agreed to sponsor this year's dinner and Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Michigan will sponsor the reception. 2. Legislative Breakfast Briefing Packet The legislative event "Celebrating Michigan's Volunteers" will be April22, 1999 and will start at 7:30a.m. at the Lansing Center. Ms ..Lange explained that the purpose of this event is designed to provide an opportunity for the MCSC and others to share information on the state of volunteerism in Michigan with the Michigan Legislature. 3. ConnectMichigan Campaign Ms. Lange gave an update on the ConnectMichigan campaign and stated that the latest newsletter was mailed to the MCSC database in January. At th~ present time there are 60 ConnectMichigan billboards posted throughout Michigan. Ms. Lange stated that the ConnectMichigan campaign will be working on some radio PSA which should ready in about a month. Ms. Lange announced that the campaign will be highlighted at the legislative event on April22, 1999. The MCSC in conjunction with the Volunteer 8 �Centers of Michigan will be taking the ConnectMichigan display to the Points of Light Foundation conference in Las Vegas in June. C. Finance and Administration - Garry Gross 1. Budget FY 1998-99 - New Format Mr. Gross explained his memo and revised financial statement contained in the commissioner packet. Mr. Gross stated that the one-page sheet totals up all the different funding sources to offer a simple one-page recap. Mr. Gross stated that an updated Comparative Financial Statement that includes a breakdown of funds with dates was passed out today for commissioner review and comments. Mr. Gross explained that the Commission general format has changed because it is based upon the standard State of Michigan budget reporting system. Mr. Gross stated that the MCSC has filled six positions (2-Michigan's AmeriCorps Coordinators, Training and T A coordinator, Communities of Promise Coordinator, 2-support staff) and only has two vacancies left to fill (Director of Programs and Outreach Coordinator). Mr. Gross updated the Commission regarding the two vacancies within the MCSC and explained that the process is going through the Civil Service system. 2. Grants Monitoring- Site Visits Mr. Gross stated that the MCSC has entered into an agreement with an outside vendor to perform a complete round of fiscal site visits to all our AmeriCorps sites. Due to the amount of time that a staff member would have to devote to this large undertaking, it was determined that it was in the best interest of the MCSC to contract it out and have them done in a short time period. Based upon the results of this test trial, we may look at utilizing a contractor for the financial moriitoring of all our grants. Mr. Gross stated that he would still perform fiscal visits to sites encountering problems. 3. Michigan Auditor General - On-Site Audit Mr. Gross stated that the internal audit on the Michigan's AmeriCorps program was going well. The auditors are finalizing their work in our office and the MCSC should be receiving the internal memorandum with their findings within a month. Mr. Gross explained that this audit will help the MCSC because it will have give us a clear understanding of what systems have worked and what have not worked and provide an opportunity to change the systems to better serve the MCSC needs. VI. Executive Director's Report- Kyle Caldwell Mr. Caldwell gave an overview of his Executive Director's Report which was included in their commissioner packet. Mr. Caldwell explained that his report was broken up into two parts which include: Making It Happen and Insights on the Vision. In the Making It Happen section, Mr. Caldwell explains the events and programs that are currently operating 9 �in Michigan from America' s Promise, Michigan's AmeriCorps, Learn and SERVE Michigan, Michigan's Volunteer Investment Grants, ConnectMichigan, Make A Difference Day, to Training and Technical Assistance to the strong staff at the MCSC and the development of commissioner boards which continue to make our commission even stronger. In the Insights on the Vision section, Mr. Caldwell explains that the MCSC needs to develop common principles and build a plan for sustainability not only for the MCSC but also for the field. Mr. Caldwell explained that the MCSC needs to develop a plan on how to position the MCSC to deal with the loss of Governor Engler and Chairperson Engler as the Governor is serving his last term. Mr. Caldwell introduced the MCSC staff, new and old, and gave a brief description of their roles with the MCSC. Mr. Caldwell talked about the new standing committees that will be developed under the MCSC and how commissioners will then be working even closer with the MCSC staff. VII. New Business- Kyle Caldwell A. Michigan Community Service Commission Commissioner Retreat on September 24-25, 1999 Mr. Caldwell explained that the next commission meeting will be at Days Inn in Mackinaw City on September 24, 1999. Following the commission meeting there will be a reception at the Governor' s Residence at Mackinac Island. On September 25, 1999 there will be a commissioner retreat at Mackinac Island. Mr. Caldwell stated that there will be a facilitator for the retreat and other experts in the field to assist with the retreat. Chairperson Engler stated that she hopes all the commissioners would be able to attend and that this will be a very important retreat for everyone to attend. Mr. Caldwell explained the briefmg packet for the legislative breakfast that each commissioner received at the meeting. Mr. Caldwell gave a brief overview of how the packet was laid out and what information was covered in the briefing. Commissioner Cummings asked if commissioners would get a document that gave the history of our programs with a glossary of terms and an overview of the MCSC funding in preparation for the September Retreat. Mr. Caldwell stated the MCSC would assemble the packet. Vill. Public Comment Ms. Pfeiler introduced the staff of the Corporation for National Service-Detroit office.

Welcome and Introduction The meeting was called to order at 12: 15 p.m. by Chairperson Engler. Chairperson Engler welcomed everyone to the meeting including our six new commission members (Barfield, Honaker, O'Day, Pardoe, Pickard, Weinstock) and our guests from out of state (Hickerson and Young). Chairperson Engler applauded the Michigan Community Service Commission (MCSC) staff for their continued hard work and commitment to the MCSC. II. Review of April 9, 1999 Minutes Commissioner Pruitt moved to approve the April 9, 1999 minutes. Commissioner McCarthy seconded the motion and the minutes were approved. Motion passed unanimously . III. Reports by Department from MCSC staff. A. Programming- Kyle Caldwell 1. Michigan's AmeriCorps a. All Member Celebration Mr. Caldwell explained that the AmeriCorps staff, headed by Beth Barney, will bring together 300 national service members in Michigan for a celebration and swearing-in ceremony on October 29, 1999 at the Michigan State University Student Union. All commissioners are welcome to attend this event. b. Renewal Process (approval item) Mr. Caldwell explained that the MCSC is redesigning the grant renewal process for Michigan's AmeriCorps. These modifications are designed to stress the importance of building sustainability within a program's design. The wording in future applications will clearly state that successful applicants will be required to increase their match level every year over the course of three years. In addition, the applications will suggest that no program be funded as a fully funded AmeriCorps program beyond six years. Mr. Caldwell stated that staff will have the wording for the renewal process to the MCSC by the November meeting. 2. America's!Michigan's Promise- AmeriCorps Promise Fellows (approval item) Ms. Kaiser stated that this year the MCSC had thirteen fellows in seven communities. The MCSC reapplied to the Corporation for National Service (CNS) for thirteen fellows for the 1999 year and was funded for thirteen fellows. Ms. Kaiser explained the chart which was handed out at the meeting which stated the number of applicants, number of fellows they are requesting (which is identical to what they were funded for last year), the amount of the request and the staff recommendations. All applicants were recommended for provisional funding at their requested level. They were: 2 �1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. Capital Area Community of Promise for 2 fellows for $22,300. Isabella County Community of Promise for 1 fellow for $11,150. Delta County Community of Promise for 1 fellow for $11,150. Marquette & Alger Counties' Promise for 1 fellow for $11,150. Chippewa County Community of Promise for 1 fellow for $11,150 Grand Rapids Community of Promise for 5 fellows for $55 ,750. Montcalm County Community of Promise for 2 fellows for $22,300. Commissioner Orosz asked if the MCSC conducts site visits and Commissioner Cummings asked for a definition of ArneriCorps members and Promise fellows. Ms. Kaiser explained that the MCSC does do site visits and gave a brief overview of ArneriCorps member and Promise Fellows programs. Commissioner Williams moved to approve staff recommendations for provisional funding for the ArneriCorps Promise Fellows and Commissioner McCarthy seconded the motion. Motion was passed unanimously with Commissioner Brandell abstaining from voting on the Isabella County funding. 3. Volunteer Investment Grants (VIG)(approval item) Mr. Caldwell gave an overview of the Volunteer Investment Grants program. Mr. Caldwell explain that the MCSC has made progress, but has also had to face some significant challenges. One challenge has been that the MCSC has yet to disburse the full $1 million state appropriations within the 12 months of the fiscal year. The MCSC has been able to secure clarification on our ability to carry-over VIG funds from one fiscal year to another. For FY 2000, the MCSC may carry over any unspent VIG funds from FY 1999. The estimated amount is $100,000 based on current unencumbered levels and the past history with the program. Mr. Caldwell noted that with the current program structure, this carry over amount will likely be a constant. Mr. Caldwell noted that this is a dangerous set of circumstances if we are to prove the work of the program to the Legislature. Last year, the MCSC modified the VIG match requirement and the grant amounts. This modification provided a substantial amount of flexibility to grantees and applicants. However, Mr. Caldwell noted applicants are still unable to develop the capacity to effectively meet the fund raising goals of the grant. The MCSC has no problem granting out $850,000 a year, but will still have money to carry over. The staff recommended the following: a. Carry over state funds (which we can do with VIG). b. Set aside $100,000 a year for demonstration grants. These grants would still go out into the community and be leveraged towards endowments, but would also be used to build the capacity of local communities so that they would be able to apply for a VIG grant the next year. The MCSC staff also recommended that the MCSC re-examine this funding stream in one year and assess whether the process and outcomes were desirable. 3 �For FY 2000, the MCSC staff recommended targeting volunteer centers and higher education institutions. Staff further recommended that the Volunteer Centers of Michigan (VCM) and the Michigan Campus Compact (MCC) be the grantees for the FY 2000 demonstration grants. Michigan's Volunteer Investment Demonstration Grants would be granted as follows: $50,000 to Volunteer Centers of Michigan (VCM) and $50,000 to Michigan Campus Compact (MCC). Commissioner Pruitt moved to approve the staff recommendations and was supported by Commissioner McCarthy. The motion passed unanimously. Mr. Singh explained that the Michigan Nonprofit Association (MNA) really does not benefit by VCM and MCC receiving these grants. The MNA will not receive any administrative money and will serve as a pass through for the grants to VCM and MCC. The grants will help VCM and MCC to build the fund raising capacity of their member organizations. 4. Learn and SERVE Community-based Grants Mr. Caldwell asked everyone to look at the funding chart in the meeting materials which lists the second round grantees for Learn and SERVE dollars which were pre-approved at the last meeting. Mr. Caldwell explained that there is an overlap of Learn and SERVE dollars and Communities of Promise dollars which is represented in this chart. 5. Training and Technical Assistance Mr. Caldwell noted the memo from Phil Chvojka and informed commissioners that Mr. Chvojka left the MCSC for a promotion with the Michigan State Housing Development Authority. Mr. Caldwell stated that the staff held a training which was facilitated by the National Service Leadership Institute (NSLI). The training was a huge success and the participants asked that the MCSC bring back the NSLI for the next level of leadership training. Next year staff will bring the NSLI back to do the next level of leadership training. The NSLI training is free and this program is helping the MCSC to build new leaders in the field of service and volunteerism. Mr. Caldwell explained that the MCSC is fortunate to have Diana Algra, a loaned executive from the Family Independence Agency, to help the MCSC in the technical assistance and training area and that it was through her work that the MCSC was able to secure the NSLI. B. Outreach & Fund Development 1. Make A Difference Day Ms. Lange announced that Make A Difference Day (MDDay) would be October 23, 1999. Ms. Lange informed the MCSC that the MCSC has three new partners for a total of seven partners who help promote MDDay. They are Volunteer Centers of Michigan, Michigan Campus Compact, United Way of Michigan, Council of Michigan Foundations, Family 4 �Independence Agency, and Michigan State University Extension. All of the Michigan partners are committed to promoting MDDay and have signed a partner agreement that details these commitments. MDDay is being promoted as a day when the spirit of volunteerism can be rallied into a yearround commitment to volunteering. The staff was in the process of collecting project entry forms and sending out press releases on MDDay. The staff was sending out weekly updates which the commissioners should be receiving via fax. The updates included information about different projects and a weekly total of the number of projects. The MCSC staff expected more than 75,000 Michiganians to participate in more than 500 projects. USA Weekend magazine will highlight Michigan's First Family in a MDDay ad on October 10, 1999. This magazine will be distributed nation wide. Ms. Lange informed commissioners that if they were interested in participating in projects in their area, they should call the MCSC or their local volunteer centers to find out if projects exists in their communities so that each commissioner can participate in projects locally. Commissioner Cummings suggested that Ms. Lange assign each commissioner to a specific project as an ambassador for the MCSC and commissioners agreed. Ms. Lange announced that the MCSC website was up and running and that each commissioner should visit the site at www.state.mi.us./career/mcsc to review all current MCSC initiatives. 2. Volunteerism SuperConference Ms. Lange informed the MCSC that the next Volunteerism SuperConference will be held on May 18 & 19, 2000 at the Lansing Center in Lansing. Ms. Lange stated that Kyle Caldwell and Kathy Rossow are the co-chairs. Mr. Caldwell stated that he and Kathy Rossow have nominated Joel Orosz as the honorary chair for the SuperConference. The call for presenters forms for the SuperConference had been sent out and were due back by October 8, 1999. The MCSC goal will be to encourage grantees and programs to become presenters. Ms. Lange announced that the Governor's Service Awards will be May 18, 2000 with a reception at 5:30p.m. and dinner at 7:00p.m. Ms. Lange stated that there will be workshops on MDDay and ConncectMichigan along with a ConnectMichigan reception. Chairperson Engler stated that she hoped that all commissioners would attend the Governor's Service Awards program because it is one of the most uplifting events of the year. Ms. Lange stated that Governor's Service Awards nomination forms will go out in late November or early December. There will be a peer review in early Spring to choose the five finalist in each category with the winner in each category being announced at the dinner on May 18, 2000. 5 �3. ConnectMichigan Ms. Lange stated that the ConnectMichigan campaign was in full swing. Ms. Lange showed the commissioners the ConnectMichigan ad that ran free of charge, in the Buick Open magazine. Ms. Lange stated that Consumer's Energy, through their Michigan's Promise commitment, will be including on their customers bill in November, a statement promoting volunteerism and encouraging customers to connect through the ConnectMichigan campaign 1-800 number. Ms . Lange gave a special thank you to Commissioner Cummings for the new commissioner/staff sweatshirts and bags with the ConnectMichigan logo. Chairperson Engler thanked Commissioner Cummings for all her hard work and dedication on the ConnectMichigan campaign. 4. Poster Contest Ms. Lange said thank you also to Commissioner Cummings for sponsoring the new ConnectMichigan Youth Poster Contest. This poster will be geared around youth connecting through service. The unveiling of this poster will be held at the Governor's Service Awards dinner in May. Commissioner Orosz commended the MCSC staff for the awesome job done on the MCSC annual report. Commissioner Pickard asked if the MCSC could make a list of items that commissioners could do to help the MCSC on MDDay. Ms. Lange agreed to put together a list and send it to commissioners. C. Finance & Administration 1. Budget FY 2000 Projections Mr. Caldwell gave an overview of Mr. Gross' report which included an attached comparative financial statement for the third quarter of fiscal year 1999. Mr. Caldwell explained that there was a sizable amount of funds left in state and federal accounts, however, when the unobligated grants are removed from the total, it leaves around $150,000 in each fund which the MCSC should end up spending by the end of FY 1999. 2. Grants Monitoring - Site Visits Mr. Caldwell explained that the MCSC used an outside contractor to do fiscal site visits to the MCSC grantees. As Mr. Gross explained in his memo to the commissioners, the process is working well with good feedback from our grantees and based upon the feedback for the individual programs from the contractor, the MCSC will be requesting a corrective action plan to address any outstanding issues. 3. Michigan Auditor General - On Site Audit Mr. Caldwell explained that the MCSC just went through its first state audit and the report back was that the MCSC received a clean audit. 6 �Mr. Caldwell explained that the CNS audit had some issues regarding federal regulations and policies which the MCSC will be working directly with CNS to change. 4. Tobacco Settlement Funds Mr. Caldwell explained that the MCSC has been designated by the Governor's Office and the Legislature to be the stewards of a portion of the tobacco settlement funds . Mr. Caldwell explained that the legislature appropriated a percentage of the interest earned on the tobacco settlement money, not used for the MERIT scholarships, to go to community foundations to fund health programs for youth, adults and seniors. The MCSC will receive and sub-grant the funds to the Council of Michigan Foundations who will then sub-grant these funds to local communities based upon an allocation system. The estimated amount of the tobacco funds that the MCSC will steward is $2.5 million in May, 2001 and in excess of $7 million in April of 2000. The amount of the yearly appropriation will drop a certain percentage each year thereafter and it is anticipated that this funding will continue for 10 to 20 years. IV. Standing Committee Reports A. Executive Committee Chairperson Engler asked commissioners to look at the "Summary of 8113/99 meeting" memo from Kyle Caldwell which covered the meeting held on 8/13/99. Chairperson Engler asked commissioners to please note that the ConnectMichigan Legislative Breakfast is scheduled for April 13, 2000 and asked that all commissioners attend. Commissioner Pruitt explained that there needs to be a formal evaluation of the Executive Director of the MCSC. Commissioner Pruitt stated that the evaluation form will be sent to all commissioners and asked that they fill out the form and mail it directly back to Commissioner Pruitt. B. Board Development Committee 1. Recommendation (approval item) Commissioner Johnson stated that the committee has been working hard and that the committee recommends the following appointments to the MCSC and that they be forwarded to the Governor. To appoint N. Lenz, D. Newport, P. O'Day, V. Pickard, T. Pruitt, M. Smith, G. Jones Williams provided that they are willing to serve, able to actively participate in the MCSC activities and their record of participation warrants their appointment. Commissioner Johnson stated that Commissioner Dunn had asked to not be reappointed. Commissioner Orosz moved to approve the committee recommendations and Commissioner McCarthy seconded the motion. Motion passed unanimously. Commissioner Johnson welcomed the new commissioners. 7 �2. V. Commissioner Johnson stated that the MCSC recommends that Governor John Engler and members of the Michigan Legislature allow modification PA219 of 1994 to ensure that Commissioners of the MCSC may not serve more than three (3), three-year terms consecutively beginning with those whose terms would expire in 2000 with the exception of past and current serving chairpersons. Commissioner Williams made a motion to approve and Commissioner Brandell seconded the motion. Motion passed unanimously. Executive Director's Report Mr. Caldwell gave an overview of his report. Mr. Caldwell explained that the MCSC staff have been working with current and past Michigan's AmeriCorps grantees on sustainability. Based on this dialogue, the staff will incorporate the new language in the next Michigan's AmeriCorps RFP. This language does not state any new policy. It merely reaffirms what was said at the inception of the Michigan's AmeriCorps program and prepares grantees for any potential changes considered in the future. Mr. Caldwell explained that staff and partners are taking service-learning to the next level. On May 4, 1999 the Council of Michigan Foundations, K-12 in Education Philanthropy Project, Michigan Department of Education and the MCSC hosted a meeting to further develop and craft a comprehensive vision for service-learning in Michigan. From this meeting came several recommendations and the MCSC is requesting support from the W.K. Kellogg Foundation for a full-time service-learning coordinator who will be responsible for advancing service-learning on the policy and research fronts. Mr. Caldwell explained that the U.S. Inspector General is conducting audits of state commissions. The first round appear to have been targeted at small states. The MCSC has begun an intensive review of all administrative and programmatic systems in case our state is selected as one of the states to be reviewed. Since staff have just completed the state audit without major concerns, Mr. Caldwell stated that he anticipated no major issues at this time. The MCSC staff is also preparing for a quality standards review that is being tested by the Corporation for National Service. The review is intended to give state commissions a certified rating by the CNS and other commission staff much like the North Central Evaluation accreditation that educational institutions seek in the education arena. State commissions that become accredited through these standards would be given certain waivers including the ability to submit a state funding plan every three years instead of annually. The MCSC staff were eager to become accredited, but had serious reservations on how the evaluation process is taking shape and appreciated the advice and direction from Commissioner Orosz in the memo included in the MCSC packet. Mr. Caldwell did inform the MCSC that ten commissions participated in the beta testing and not one commission had yet passed. Commissioner Orosz explained to the commissioners that the review had serious issues and makes it impossible to pass. Mr. Caldwell said he would keep the commissioners apprised of any developments. Mr. Caldwell announced the return of the Points of Light Foundation Youth Engaged in Service Ambassador program to the MCSC. The MCSC will have the opportunity to more effectively address the leadership, needs and concerns of Michigan's youth and give the youth advisory council (MYP A C) a single and dedicated point of focus and support. Jill Manlove began her term with the MCSC on September 13, 1999. Jill was from Minnesota where she just finished a year-long commitment with the Lutheran Volunteer Corps at the Saint Paul, Minnesota Volunteer Center. 8 �Mr. Caldwell announced that the Director of Programs position has been filled and that Paula Kaiser began work September 7, 1999. The staff were thrilled to have Paula Kaiser back at the MCSC. Mr. Caldwell restated that the MCSC T&TA Coordinator, Phil Chvojka, left the MCSC to take a new position in state government. The MCSC was in the process of filling the position and a special thank you to Diana Algra who would be filling in for this position along with her other duties under the CIVIC program. Mr. Caldwell stated that the CNS requires the MCSC to put together a long-term and comprehensive vision and action plan for service and volunteerism in Michigan. Mr. Caldwell stated that the MCSC and its partners have completed the first draft of the Unified State Service Plan and are now taking the Unified State Service Plan to the next level. The MCSC staff have convened a number of meetings of the partners and secured a facilitator to begin crafting this new vision on service. The result will be a comprehensive, yet flexible vision and action plan. A draft of the plan is articulated in the memo dated August 23, 1999. To finalize and codify the plan, the partnership has developed a dissemination plan that involves focus groups and questionnaires to assess the opinions of the field. As a final and concrete demonstration of the field's commitment to the plan, the partners will host a public endorsement ceremony at the biennial Volunteerism SuperConference May 18-19, 2000. Mr. Caldwell stated that on October 3 & 4, 1999, Frank Dirks would hold a meeting called "Beyond 2000" at the Holiday Inn West in Lansing. This meeting will bring state executive directors and chairs together to dialog on volunteerism and service beyond 2000 and put together a white paper that will be sent out to anyone interested in what national service policies should look like for the next presidential administration. Several members from the MCSC would attend this meeting and will keep the commissioners informed as to its progress. Mr. Caldwell explained to the commissioners that after talking with each commissioner and getting feedback on what they want from the MCSC and from the field of service, he hopes that the retreat fulfills their wishes. VI. New Business A. Michigan Alliance for Volunteers Proposal Mr. Caldwell and Mr. Singh explained the Alliance proposal a mutual initiative between the MCSC and the Michigan Nonprofit Association (MNA). The following is a more detailed explanation of the dialogue. How do we sustain volunteerism in Michigan? "Right now we know we have a huge statewide infrastructure. Many of these multiple layers of partnerships started in 1989 and included Commissioner Orosz, Chairperson Engler, Commissioner Johnson and others. Some of the partners were Council of Michigan Foundation (CMF), Family Independence Agency (FIA), Michigan Nonprofit Association (MNA), Michigan Campus Compact (MCC), Volunteer Centers of Michigan (VCM), Michigan Community Service Commission (MCSC), United Ways of Michigan, and the list keeps going. We have this infrastructure, these layers of partnerships, but each one of those comes with new initiatives. There's always something new that we need to take on. For the first time ever, there exist 9 �concerted efforts toward collaboration. And for the first time over the past couple of years, a collaboration of projects like the Volunteerism SuperConference, America's Promise, Unified State Service Plan, ConnectMichigan Campaign, Make A Difference Day, and training and technical assistance which we are using MNA, MCC and VCM to assist us. This is the first time ever for this concerted effort toward collaboration. So the question is " {Isn't} This all good?" Yes, but there is one fundamental problem down the road. MNA and affiliates and MCSC do similar things like training, technical assistance, volunteer awareness and statewide convening of the field. We are not doing it now, but we have the potential to start competing among our organizations. To build any kind of stability, MNA and affiliates need stability in administrative and physical housing (MCSC has had lived "free rent" because the Governor's Office has been kind enough to give us space and MNA is housed within the system at Michigan State University "rent free" or almost "rent free") to establish independence and visibility (We need to know what the commission is, what its involved with and how and same goes for MNA. People need to know what it is, how and where it is housed.), to stabilize their funding base (As we pointed out to you, we have decreased by 10% in our federal dependence, we have a 12% increase in state funds so that MCSC is really beginning to diversify, but that 10% still pales in comparison to the fact that we still have 74% of our funding coming from federal sources. MNA, MCC and VCM are dependent on membership fees and as incubator level organizations those fees are still not at a level great enough to sustain all these organizations/programs), and to demonstrate a unified voice for volunteerism." So how do we do this? "MCSC needs to prepare for a transition in leadership, create a more permanent physical and administrative home, diversity its funding beyond state and federal funds, establish security for programs, initiatives and infrastructure (A. Strengthen? our house- right now America's Promise exists because we decided to take it on. ConnectMichigan exists because we decided to take it on with our partners. But there is nothing there to keep it there. There's no "there" there.) to be able to advocate without giving up federal and state support that bans advocacy.(right not we can not lobby as an organization.) So what do we do? Well we dance or quietly suggest people to write letters to so and so but you didn' t hear it from us. We need to begin to build that kind of support in a way that does not jeopardize our funding." "The field has to avoid competition for scarce resources, establish more permanent and stable financial resources, capitalize on the strengths and resources of other like organizations and raise the level of awareness and value around service and volunteerism." "The solution is to create an organization called the Alliance to centralize state-level volunteer programming, promotion, and support. To look for long-term sustainability solutions around service and volunteerism. To capitalize on the overwhelming support of all constituencies." "An Alliance- to bring together statewide volunteer organizations in a meaningful partnership; centralize current services, resources and administration; build a stabilized fund in the form of an endowment to support the organization and activities; insulate the work of volunteers from changing political and economic 10 �tides. Economic changes, political atmosphere changes and what we are finding especially with AmeriCorps is that very good people get caught in the middle of something that has nothing to do with the work they are doing. It' s all politics!" Structure "Build a $20 million endowment to generate $850,000 annually for operation funds . That endowment would be a 50/50 mix of state and private funds that would {include} a one-time ask to the state legislator and a match in local dollars of $10 million in private funds . The funds would be housed in a community foundation - Capital Area Community Foundation is one we suggest. The Alliance would be guided by a 5-7 Member Board of Directors made up of representatives from MNA associates and MCSC commissioners and would appoint an Executive Director and that person would bring on additional staff as needed." Function "The Alliance would physically house the MCSC, VCM, MCC and MNA. The MCSC and MNA would bring together a number of initiatives like the Romney Fund, ConnectMichigan, National Volunteer Week, Volunteerism SuperConference, Make A Difference Day, MCC Member Services and Support, MCC Grant Programs, K-12 Service Learning, Governor's Service Awards, Adopt-A-Part of Michigan, America' s Promise. All those things that MCSC are extra programs and outreach activities would be housed here, but they would be housed in a partnership with the MCSC and affiliates of MNA. " Steps- Mr. Caldwell reviewed the next steps in the process. Phase I ----June 1999- October 1999: To gain board and constituent approval. September 1999 - November 1999: Formal proposals to boards and the Governor' s Office and the Legislators. October 1999- January 2000: To officially decide whether to proceed. At the next Commission meeting commissioners will get a formal proposal from staff asking for approval. Phase 2 December 1999 - February 2000: Determine how are we going to build support in the Legislature. Who do we approach and how? February 2000- April 2000: Secure legislation to support Alliance in the form of a bill. The legislative breakfast will be during this time and provide an excellent mechanism for support gathering .. March 2000- May 2000: Secure legal counsel to help craft the by-laws. {This should happen earlier, but this is the deadline.} May 2000 - July 2000: Unveil all plans-hopefully at the SuperConference. 11 �Phase 3 Phase 3 will be the "How to side" that Mr. Caldwell and Mr. Singh are not yet prepared to unveil until the MCSC commissioners and the MNA board are confident about the Alliance. Mr. Singh explained that the Alliance would allow for both entities (MCSC and MNA) to remain antonym organizations. There will be a governmental component to volunteerism and service that will still be under the Executive Branch and working through the MCSC. MNA will remain a separate 501(c)3. There will not be a connection between those two entities. But the two affiliates organizations MCC and VCM and all the day-to-day extra programming and outreach functions of the MCSC that is geared around volunteerism will all be housed in this new entity. This will allow a group like MNA, who at times is an advocacy organization, to function. Mr. Singh posited that this would allow both MNA and MCSC to funnel all those initiatives through one area instead of both organizations doing them separately. Why is MNA interested? Mr. Singh stated that over the last five years two organizations: MCC and VCM have affiliated themselves with MNA. "Part of MNA's mission beyond helping to enhance nonprofit organizations and advocate on behalf of nonprofits has been to increase and expand volunteer philanthropy. Those have been critical missions for MNA. MNA affiliated with these two organizations to help meet that part of the mission, but also to administratively save those two organizations. MNA supports MCC' s and VCM' s accounting and all their administrative functions . Therefore, the Alliance will not only remove some administrative issues that MNA has been providing for VCM and MCC, but MNA feels it has met its mission even better because MNA helped to make VCM and MCC live on forever regardless whether MNA is hit financial/or is no longer an organization. The MNA board had a lot of dialogue regarding the Alliance because MNA will be giving up a lot of programming, but the board realized that MNA will still be meeting their mission and MNA does not always have to be the group that runs MCC and VCM. The MNA board was willing to step back and take a look at the fact they might have to lose something, but in the long run the field as well as the organizations will gain. And so the MNA board is still in the process of debating and dialog around whether this is the right thing to do." Mr. Caldwell stated that for MCSC the Alliance gives two things. One, it gives MCSC a nonprofit arm to do things MCSC can ' t do in state government. And two, the Alliance provides an endowment to stabilize those special events or special initiatives that are currently subsides through state and federal dollars. The Alliance insulates MCSC from the political changes that are inherent in the MCSC' s type of work (example: Should we received a less than supportive governor, who makes less than favorable appointments, who buries our organization well deep into the bureaucracy, the Alliance can function a lot of the things MCSC does in support of the field . Mr. Singh said that in information passed out to commissioners, there is a section that outlines the programs and functions of MCSC and the functions of MNA and a section describing the functions of the Alliance. Called, "Programs and Services". 12 �Mr. Singh explained the model first by addressing the structure. "Each has a board of directors. Those boards of directors will then create this new venture which we are calling the "Alliance". Mr. Singh said that the Alliance will incorporate into its own group, its own 50l(c)3, then actually hire a CEO. "This allows for the possibility that in some future administrations the MCSC is ever eliminated the Alliance will still exist. If the MNA goes through some difficult time and no longer exists, then the Alliance will still exist." Mr. Singh said, "Not many models that look like this exist in the nonprofit community and we have not been able to find a single model between government and nonprofit community." Mr. Singh said that he and others know it can be done legally, but no one has ever made that attempt. Therefore, one of most exciting parts of this is that it is on the cutting edge models for strategic alliances. "I think one of the things we might be able to pull out of this, if it works, is the model between government and nonprofit community." "Mr. Singh said that if we go forward, we should hire someone to watch the process. This could be a case study that takes a look at government programming and how do we privatize some of that government programming and make sure that it exists beyond the administrations, beyond politics. Mr. Singh noted that this was the model that he and Mr. Caldwell took a look at from some of the better thinking around the lines of strategic alliances. Mr. Caldwell explained the historical perspective and the influence an alliance might have. "This model works because in the past we have always been thinking that both of us must exist and one doesn't. But now we can both exist to continue our missions. Now we will have created a venture that we both can incorporate together," he said Questions and Answers Chairperson Engler asked, "Why approval from the Legislators?" Mr. Caldwell explained that MCSC is asking for $10 million in state funds . The subcommittee and the Senate is chaired by the two co-sponsors of HB5280, Senators Emerson and Johnson. They would be key in getting the Alliance started. On the House side, the MCSC has a number of supporters who have influence with certain legislators that might be key in making the Alliance happen. Mr. Caldwell mentioned legislators are term limited and the MCSC knows that Michigan is corning into another election and will have a lot of seats turnover, we are in that critical time to make this proposal to key legislators. Commissioner Begg asked about the Legislative Breakfast. Mr. Caldwell explained that the ConnectMichigan Legislative Breakfast is a legislative outreach by the field to the legislators. It is not a MCSC hosted event, but it is a broader outreach to the legislators. The last breakfast was a thank you to the legislators for the Volunteer Investment Grant program and also a way of building their awareness around what the whole field looks like. Commissioner Begg asked if we got a positive response. Mr. Caldwell stated we did get good response since we did not have definite focus to the program. The 2000 event will be very focused. Chairperson Engler asked if we will miss the budget cycle for this year (FY 2000). Mr. Caldwell stated that was correct. Mr. Caldwell stated that there may be a couple of approaches including working with the Governor's Office to get some seed money. Commissioner Barfield asked what the income split would be between MNA and MCSC. Mr. Caldwell stated that the entire proceeds from the endowment ($850,000) would go directly to the Alliance. Commissioner Newport stated that would this allow both organizations to become more focused and more efficient. 13 �Mr. Caldwell stated that the Alliance will allow the MCSC to return to more of a grant making entity that focuses on operating and stewarding federal and state dollars and less programming. Therefore, special initiatives that the MCSC does now the MCSC may still do, but the idea also will be to spin them off if valuable or terminate them if not. Any spin off will go to the Alliance. In addition, the basic role for MCSC as far as policy body will remain the same. The staffing for any spin off special initiatives will come out of MCSC and into the Alliance. The MCSC will still be able to have a grant making organizations cut a grant to the Alliance to do an initiative. The MCSC is currently doing everything with programs. The MCSC will still seek funding for a lot of these programs and try to help the Alliance find funding for these initiatives but they will still be operated by the Alliance rather than MCSC, Mr. Caldwell said. Mr. Caldwell readdressed Commissioner Barfield explaining that MCSC is going to the legislatures for $10 million and going to the private sector for $10 million that $20 million will go into an endowment designated strictly for the Alliance even though the board will represent a large group of organizations, the Alliance will be its own separate 501(c)3 . The 5% pay out from that endowment will be the $850,000 that will go to the staffing, housing, overhead cost, some programs and some subgranting that will be done by the Alliance itself for the benefit of the Alliance. There is no income that will go to either MCSC or MNA. Each organization will have its own budget. Commissioner Muir asked, "Since we are creating a kind of a General Motors of Volunteerism, is that how you see it?" Laughter.... .... .. Mr. Caldwell replied, "where as you have this large oversight body that really controls those spin off organizations we were really uncomfortable with that so what we wanted to do was spin something off that had its own independence but that had fair representation from us. In other words our board would represent that board. It is not that MNA and MCSC are merging and then spinning off these things together and we are going to be all controlling over them. That's not the case. This really is truly a spin off, independent arm for both organizations to use." Commissioner Weinstock asked, "Beside working and taking some of the work to these organizations, would it also work as a liaison between the two making sure you are focusing on the same goal and not reiterating the same wheel?" Mr. Caldwell said "yes and that's the important part when talking about Phase ill and Phase II. What we decide to put into this organization and how we decide to bring all these things together like the by-laws and other rules on how we will operate it is important." Commissioner Brandell commented that she sees it as a big benefit for constituents and volunteers. "Our whole operation is very confusing to those who just want to volunteer. This would make all of our work so much easier because it so hard to explain to people who aren't in this loop as to who we are. It would be so beneficial to our people out in the trenches--people that we are trying to recruit." Commissioner Orosz asked a question about the finances- "$1 0 million from state $10 million for endowment from private sector and I do not see anything in there for capital cost for buying or renovating space for this as you both mentioned, both of you are also on the edge of eviction. Is there an additional amount on top of that $20 million then for capture space? 14 �Mr. Caldwell stated that, "the $10 million from the legislature and $10 million from private funds to go into the endowment and the $850,000 represents some rent as opposed to purchase." Mr. Singh stated that in regard to MNA, there might be a third component, a capitol component added on. For example, if the legislature is very willing along with the Governor to support this part of the endowment, the private sector might give more dollars. We might want to do a feasibility study and find that we can incorporate more into the campaign. "I think right now its just the concept we have not had the opportunity to consult with the typical capital campaign consultants and the endowment builders to see what the feasibility is of the private side, once we see that there is a larger potential out there for this, then we would like to probably build in some dollars for the capital campaign portion." Commissioner Orosz asked "Where would the Alliance go then if MNA stays at the Kellogg Center and MCSC stays at Romney building?" Mr. Caldwell stated that the important thing is that if we build this nonprofit structure, "we as the MCSC can put into our budget the line item for space which we have never done before, and we could pay and contract out to the Alliance to do that and so essentially it becomes another layer. The structure that we put out with that $850,000 is some rent cost. All organizations can pay rent to the Alliance and physically get space and live there. And that the whole idea to use it as foil." Mr. Caldwell added that MCSC has requested that the legislature increase its appropriations by $100,000 for space and other costs. Commissioner Johnson stated that, "We should talk about vision and maybe call it, The Engler House." Commissioner Johnson stated, in terms of whether there will be or will not be federal funds, she is on the Corporation for National Service Board that met two weeks ago and are working real hard towards their appropriations and she has no doubt that they will get." But who's to know with the changing of administration, so I think we have to base this on what's happening in our state and not the fact that we don't know about how much federal dollars there will be. Secondly, as we talk in the Executive Committee about the private sector support of this $10 million, realistically, foundations do not like to support endowments. But what we are going to be trading on here is the Engler's commitment to volunteerism and good will and the fact that every one in the world love's them. So {laughing} it will be very different, but that's not to say we couldn't raise this money in fast order if it's their priority -their legacy." Commissioner Johnson applauded both Mr. Caldwell and Mr. Singh for their creativity. Commissioner Begg asked about the MNA board's perspective. Mr. Singh stated the MNA Board supports the concept as does the VCM's and MCC's leadership. They want MNA to get to the point when in December, they may have some more details before they move forward and know that there will be a number of opportunities for partners to stop this process, "for all of us" Mr. Singh said. If the $10 million from the legislature doesn't come through then we would have to really rethink this concept. And so that might be a stopping point right there. There might be a stopping point later in the process. We know that this is going to be a multiple month process just to go to the legislators. But then also when the dollars are available it's a year after we have created the endowment before we are going to see any return on that investment. So we know that it's going to be multiple points where we can all as a team coming together, stop the process or move the process even faster." Mr. Singh also noted that the MNA board likes the concept and wants to move forward. 15 �Commissioner Begg asked, "Are we creating this endowment and revenue in support of the two organizations or are we creating them for more organizations? If that's what's happening then we still have a problem-the two organizations still need to meet the overhead somehow--where's that going to come from?" Mr. Caldwell stated that the idea behind the Alliance is not to address specifically, the MCSC financial stability and its existence. The Alliance is to support the good things that we do. Therefore, what we have begun, rather than going for an endowment for the MCSC or going for an endowment for MNA and it's affiliates, were are going for an endowment for this third entity which will exist whether MCSC or MNA are successful. Mr. George Young stated that what he has heard is a real plan with tremendous promise and Florida is trying to do the same thing. He stated that he sees only one potential problem in the plan. "It has to do with the history of local volunteer organizations. To what extent will they buy in to what appears to be strong centralized control? Florida's volunteer centers (which there a lot of) are strongly supported locally and not sure how they would buy into that concept. I see nothing else in the plan that won't work. It is a brilliant sustainability program. Mr. Young said, "Florida's is talking right now about buying or building a facility and leasing and subleasing to various types of organizations using the same precise principles that were articulated. I am not sure where the Corporation funding is and nobody really knows." Mr. Young thinks Michigan will be okay in the future because of what MCSC and MNA are creating. Commissioner McCarthy asked for more clarity on the concept. She stated that MNA will primarily focus on their advocacy and training role and move all volunteer functions to the Alliance. The MCSC will be a funnel for state and federal funds available in terms of grant money, will review grant applications, and award the dollars. "What about T &TA?" Mr. Caldwell stated MCSC, as receivers of Corporation dollars called PDAT (which are training money) traditionally, subgrant the money out to MNA or VCM to do regional trainings for MCSC. He noted that MCSC has also used MSU Extension. "But what happens is we have to go through this competitive bid process. Florida takes their PDAT money and channels it to this nonprofit organization called "Volunteer Florida" and that organization does all their technic'al assistance and training. We would be able to use the Alliance in the same way. One check goes to the Alliance to do all the national service training but leadership training and other kinds of training to MNA." Commissioner McCarthy asked "Does the Alliance subcontract that to MCSC because you said MCSC would be keeping your technical assistance and training?" Mr. Singh stated that MNA technical assistance and training is different. MNA will do their board management and so forth. There might be point in time that the Alliance does MNA's training. But it would be considered separate. A motion to approve the staff moving forward with the concept of the Alliance plan was made by Commissioner Pruitt. Commissioner Johnson seconded the motion. The motion passed unanimously. 16 �B. Meeting Dates for 2000 (approval item) Chairperson Engler asked for approval of the proposed 2000 meeting dates. Discussion followed with changes of the April meeting. The April 14th meeting was changed to April 13, 2000 following the Legislative Breakfast. The meeting will start at 10:00 a.m. and will take place at the Lansing Center. Commissioner Pickard agreed to host the December 1, 2000 meeting instead of the April meeting. A correction on the meeting dates of the Executive Committee for December 3rd was made and change to 1999 instead of 2000. Commissioner McCarthy moved to approve the meeting dates for 2000 with the aforementioned changes. Commissioner Brandell seconded. Motion passed unanimously. VII. Public Comment Mr. George Young from Florida distributed an annual report from Florida and the newsletter from Volunteer Florida. Ms. Robin Schultheiss announced to everyone that the Volunteer Centers of Michigan are behind the Alliance. Chairperson Engler gave a special thank you to the sponsors of the MCSC retreat which included Commissioner Begg, Commissioner Cummings, Commissioner Dunn, Commissioner Johnson, Commissioner Muir, Commissioner Orosz and the W.K. Kellogg Foundation. VIII. Adjourn Commissioner Orosz moved to adjourn the meeting. Commissioner Neelis seconded the motion. The meeting was adjourned at 4:15p.m. The next meeting will be November 5, 1999 in Lansing. 17 � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Capitol Ave . George W. Romney Bldg. , 4th Floor Lansing , Michigan 48913 Telephone (517) 335-4295 FAX (517) 373-4977 The National Service Leadership Institute visited Michigan on July 28-30, 1999 and conducted a workshop to 48 participants from Michigan. This included 6 participants from the Michigan Community Service Commission, 16 AmeriCorps Program Directors, 3 Promise Fellows, 13 representatives from VIG, 2 SeniorCorps Directors, and 8 Program Directors from Head Start, Literacy Councils et al. The participants were divided into two 24 person groups and each group had two facilitators/trainers. Michael Mercil, Dale Magee, Bob Meadows, and Bobbi Bilinski were the instructors. Strengths: * There was active and engaged participation by those in attendance. * The workshop was delivered with energy and integrity by all four presenters. * There was a real opportunity for hands-on, applied learning. * Participants overwhelmingly supported revisiting the topics of leadership next year (Round II). * The presenters encouraged participation and were flexible in their agenda to allow for both extra discussion, questions and answer sessions. * Participants received a useful resource manual to keep new ideas fresh. * This seminar provided an opportunity for participants to network and share commonalities. Weaknesses: * There were six cancellations within a day of the seminar leading to less than full capacity. *Four individuals left the conference before its conclusion. * Some participants felt inundated with "information overload" because of the intensity ofthe training sessions. �* There were so many charts, models, and concepts presented that it became difficult to keep some notions clear. Some models were presented as ends themselves instead of tools to reach a shared goal. * Some of the participants indicated that three days of training were hard to fit into their busy schedules. Follow up Plan 32 of the 35 participants who turned in a follow up survey indicated that they would like to see a "Round II" training in Michigan next year. They felt that it should be focused on building "Pathways to Action" using actual work situations from their own organizations as the focus of the seminar. 14 respondents indicated a strong interest in attending on ofNSLI's Leadership Training sessions at the Presidio of San Francisco. Michael Mercil, Acting Director Of the NSLI, suggested that "Advanced Training" in Facilitative Leadership is both possible and feasible. There should be a core of at least 30 participants who would take advantage of this kind of opportunity. There were several suggestions that the "Share an Inspiring Vision" module be revisited and expanded for the Round II. I will propose, therefore, that NSLI be incorporated into the MCSC's plans to conduct a "Level II" Facilitative Leadership Training for FY 2000. This experience was so well received that I feel it would be wise to build upon its momentum. This activity was budgeted for $12,000 and, because of Sugar Loafs $170 per capita rate, came in approximately $2,000 below the projected budget. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

The first thing you must do is read through the logistical materials just behind this memo. This material will tell you everything (well almost) you need to know to get to the Island and the meetings. If you have any questions about this information, call the ever-diligent, painfully frugal and multi-talented, Mary Estrada at 517-335-4295. The materials contained in this packet are divided into three major sections. The first section, tabs 1 through 9, contain the materials you will need for the Friday, September 24, 1999 MCSC meeting at the Mission Point Resort. You will not need any other materials from this binder for Friday. The second part of the binder, tabs 10 through 30, contains materials for the Saturday, September 25, 1999 Commissioner Retreat at the Grand Hotel. Now that the shock of the binder has worn off, I want to let you know that this is going to be a very exciting time for you. Much like the ground that gathered in 1991 to plan and form the Michigan Community Service Commission, you are coming together to decide the MCSC should look like in the future, examine how it can shape the field nationally and celebrate the tremendous progress made to date. Mrs. Engler and I have spoken at length about what this retreat IS and what it is NOT. This is an opportunity for you to feel very comfortable meeting and working with your peers about some very challenging and exciting issues around the MCSC' s development. Attire expectations, atmosphere and the agenda are all custom tailored to set a casual and comfortable feeling.

The display will be at our September 24, 1999 meeting. 3 �O&FD Accomplishments Over the Past 15 months In May of 1998, the Outreach & Fund Development Division of the MCSC was created to address the non-program and non-administration components of the Michigan Community Service Commission's (MCSC) work. This allowed the MCSC to assign appropriate staff and staff time to addressing the MCSC's outreach, publication, and fund development goals. The staff has spent considerable time, energy, and hard work creating internal systems and external working relationships that allow us to do our work effectively. We are very pleased with our growth over the past year and with the quality of the special events, activities, and publications that we have been able to produce. Below are the major highlights. ConnectMichigan *60 billboards up across Michigan on a quarterly basis (the billboards correspond to Make A Difference Day (MDDay), America's Promise, MLK, Jr. Day, and National Volunteer Week). *Radio psa broadcast across Michigan during National Volunteer Week and MDDay. *TV psa broadcast across Michigan during MDDay. *Wrote, designed and printed the Volunteer Resource Guide which has been distributed statewide through 1-800-VOLUNTEER and local volunteer centers. *Developed a new format for the ConnectMichigan newsletter.

This brings our total to seven partners who are dedicated to promoting MDDay on a statewide level and spreading the message that MD Day is a day when the spirit of volunteerism can be rallied into a year-round commitment to making a difference in our communities through volunteering. In addition, the MDDay partners (and USA Weekend Magazine) have all committed to providing scholarships to the newly formed MDDay in Michigan Scholarships to the Volunteerism SuperConference . From the Field "The kids were just so enthusiastic. They said doing good for others made them feel good. They said they would love to volunteer more. We're going to start a community service club at Handy." said Rose Skurski, a T.L. Handy Intermediate School teacher and MDDay project coordinator. Governor's Service A wards The MCSC was honored to recognize the NICE Community School District's Family Resource Institute as a finalist for this year's Governor's Service Awards. The two-year-old program is dedicated to strengthening the ties between school and family. The institute includes a library with hundreds of books and videos designed to help parents help their children. The center also serves as a volunteer headquarters where parents can sign up to volunteer in the schools in a variety of ways. In addition, the institute contracts with the YMCA of Marquette to provide affordable, accessible after-school and Saturday programs. From the Field "The governor's award sets us up as an example for other school districts to follow. The award shows that the district has found a creative way to use our skills, facilities, and time to help create healthy, successful children. It gives credibility to what we are doing," said Debra Asano, the Institute's program coordinator. National Community Service Conference '99 From the Field Taken from a letter written by Linda Lark (Volunteer Director, Wyoming Police Department) regarding Michigan 's and the Michigan Community Service Commission's presence at the conference .... "I am of course, always proud to be a Michigander, but was especially so in Las Vegas. Michigan was clearly visible with the very professional and informative (MCSC) display booth, the evening reception and the Volunteer Centers and Nonprofit Associations booth. As ours was the only state providing any of the above, we once again showed Michigan to be on the cutting edge of community service. Michigan's commitment to serving its residents better through service to each other was obvious to everyone attending the conference." � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

ConnectMichigan is a multilayered, statewide public awareness campaign designed to promote volunteerism and community involvement. The goal of the campaign is to promote general awareness of volunteerism among Michiganians, while providing opportunities for local citizens to become actively involved in community change. The campaign is designed to promote and support existing volunteer programs and initiatives, not to create new programs or duplicate existing services. The campaign is the result of a statewide collaborative involving three primary partners - the Volunteer Centers of Michigan, the Michigan Community Service Commission and the Michigan Nonprofit Association. ConnectMichigan receives additional support from the Council of Michigan Foundations, Lovelight Foundation and United Way of Michigan, with funding from the Michigan Department of Consumer & Industry Services and the George W. Romney Fund for Volunteerism in Michigan. The ConnectMichigan campaign, as a component of the Points of Light Foundation's national Connect America initiative, includes: • A toll-free volunteerism hotline 1-800-VOLUNTEER that connects the caller to one of the State's 30 local volunteer centers or to the Volunteer Centers of Michigan. • Television and radio public service announcements. • Written support materials including the ConnectMichigan quarterly newsletter that is mailed to 16,000 organizations and individuals, and the ConnectMichigan volunteer resource guide that is distributed, free of charge, to callers of 1-800-VOLUNTEER. • Outdoor advertising. There are currently more than 60 ConnectMichigan billboards up across Michigan. The billboard locations and taglines change quarterly to correspond to different days of service/volunteer initiatives (Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, National Volunteer Week, Michigan's Promise and Make A Difference Day). For more information on the ConnectMichigan volunteer awareness campaign contact Robin Lynn Schultheiss of the Volunteer Centers of Michigan at (517) 353-5038 or to reach your local volunteer center calll-800-VOLUNTEER. �Adopt APart of Michigan On January 1, 1998 the Michigan Community Service Commission (MCSC) in conjunction with the Michigan Department of Natural Resources (DNR), the Michigan Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ), and the Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) announced a statewide awareness campaign, Adopt A Part of Michigan. The campaign publicizes Michigan's three statewide adoption programs, Adopt A Highway, Adopt A Park, and Adopt a Forest. The programs currently involve thousands of Michigan residents who volunteer to keep Michigan highways, parks, and forests clean by participating in regular on-going cleanup efforts. The Adopt A Part of Michigan campaign hopes to encourage hundreds of additional Michigan volunteers to participate in the programs. In an effort to better inform and enable people to volunteer, the campaign is sponsoring a toll free number, 1-888-797-6272. Michigan residents may call the number to acquire general information about any of the adoption programs. Callers will be mailed an information packet on the campaign and the three programs. In addition to the toll free number, posters and brochures that highlight the three programs and the overall mission of Adopt a Part of Michigan are available when you call1-888-797-6272. The goal of Adopt A Forest is to enhance the enjoyment of public forest lands by eliminating illegal dumping and increasing the awareness of recycling opportunities for waste materials found . Adopt A Forest is sponsored by the DNR, DEQ, the United States Forest Service, and the Michigan United Conservation Clubs. The Adopt A Highway program matches more than 3,000 groups with nearly 7,000 miles of state roads. The groups clean their sections of road during three scheduled pickups a year. Adopt A Highway is sponsored by the Michigan Department of Transportation. The Adopt A Park program partners volunteers with their favorite state park for a twoyear period. The volunteers participate in park beautification and cleanup, construction projects and special events. The project is sponsored by the Department of Natural Resources. For more information on Adopt A Part of Michigan, please call1-888-797-6272. �Make A IUIE ADlmR£Na DAY Difference Day Make A Difference Day is a national day of service.

The Corporation for National Service (CNS) administers AmeriCorps at the federal level and works in partnership with states to develop service programs and create a community-based national service network. The Michigan Community Service Commission is the administrative agent for Michigan's AmeriCorps. Michigan's AmeriCorps engages the energy and idealism of the citizens of Michigan, including young people, in meeting the most critical education, public safety, human and environmental needs in our communities. Michigan's AmeriCorps currently consists of 22 programs with more than 1,125 members serving on a full-time or part-time basis. The 22 programs partner with more than 150 organizations throughout the state to address the needs of communities. The AmeriCorps mission includes: Getting Things Done AmeriCorps provides service to address the most critical education, public safety, human and environmental needs. Every AmeriCorps program sets ambitious but attainable objectives for "getting things done" and in the end will be able to demonstrate the degree to which those objectives have been met. Strengthening Communities AmeriCorps strengthens communities by uniting citizens of every race, region, religion, and income in a spirit of respect and cooperation to improve our communities. Our communities are also strengthened by bringing together diverse institutions in partnerships and collaborations, creating bonds that can transform the places in which we live. Encouraging Responsibility Through service, discussion of service, and education about service, AmeriCorps enables members to see themselves as problem solvers, not problems; to become leaders, not just followers; and to act on their responsibilities in addition to their rights. While strengthening their desire to serve, AmeriCorps gives members the tools to fulfill their responsibilities throughout their lives, including communication and conflict resolution skills and an understanding of their communities. Expanding Opportunity During the term of service, every AmeriCorps program offers a basic living allowance, education award, and child and health care to eligible full-time members. In addition to this, the experience of AmeriCorps expands opportunity in vital ways, providing invaluable life and job skills. Members emerge knowing how to teach or build, and they carry these skills throughout the rest of their lives. �Michigan's AmeriCorps Who Can Join AmeriCorps?

All former living U.S. Presidents joined General Powell in urging Americans to bring about five basic resources for the nation's children and youth: a caring adult, safe places to learn and grow, a healthy start, a marketable skill, and opportunities to serve. America's Promise- The Alliance for Youth is the national organlzation created to provide follow-up to the Presidents' Summit for America's Future. It is a multi-year n~tional campaign aimed at recruiting volunteers and other resources necessary to provide America's youth with essential resources to become healthy, contributing adults. General Powell continues to lead this effort nationally. America's Promise and its alliance partners are dedicated to connecting 2 million at-risk youth to the five fundamental resources, and an additional5 million youth to at least one of the five fundamental resources by the year 2000. Michigan's Promise is the state's response to the national America's Promise effort. It seeks to make our streets safer, our children healthier, and our communities better places to live and grow. Launched in October 1997 in Lansing, Michigan's Promise is a three-year campaign to ensure that Michigan's children have access to the five fundamental resources. Michigan's Promise is mobilizing thousands of citizens and organizations from all sectors in order to engage them in providing Michigan's youth with essential resources to become happy and contributing adults . Michigan's Promise is collaborating with America's Promise and local communities to accomplish this goal. The Michigan Community Service Commission led by Michigan's-First Lady Michelle Engler, in partnership with the United Way of Michigan, Council of Michigan Foundations, Michigan Nonprofit Association, Volunteer Centers of Michigan and other statewide organizations, is convening and coordinating Michigan's Promise activities. Michigan's Promise serves as a statewide catalyst, urging public, private and nonprofit organizations to focus their combined talents and resources to improve the lives of our state's youth. It is a broker of resources and ideas; encouraging collaboration and entrepreneurial approaches to providing the five fundamental resources to at-risk youth. Currently, twenty Michigan communities have joined the initiative and become local Communities of Promise including: Alpena and Montmorency Counties, Calhoun County, Capital Area (Lansing/East Lansing), Chippewa County, Delta County, Detroit, Eaton County, Flint/Genesee County, Grand Rapids, Isabella County, Kalamazoo County, Luce County, Mackinac County, Marquette/ Alger Counties, Montcalm County, Muskegon, Saginaw, StClair County, St. Joseph County and Tuscola.

This federally funded program is administered cooperatively by the Michigan Department of Education, which manages school-based service-learning programs for elementary and secondary school students (as well as adult volunteers and teachers), and the Michigan Community Service Commission, which manages community-based service-learning programs for young people between the ages of 5-17. Service-learning is a teaching/learning method that connects meaningful community service with academic learning, personal growth, and civic responsibility. These programs help youth see beyond the classroom, and into the community, where they use their knowledge to address community needs and solve real-life problems in the areas of education, public safety, human services, and the environment. Students benefit as they form friendships with people from diverse backgrounds and learn how they can contribute to their community's well-being. Learn and SERVE Michigan also promotes partnerships between community agencies and public/private schools. The programs are built around local community needs and interests, and involve a diversity of partners including local businesses, nonprofit organizations and social service agencies. Community involvement in such programs not only increases visibility of community service and committed institutions, but also provides an opportunity to address concerns that previously were beyond one organization's scope of action. Michigan currently has seven community-based Learn and SERVE programs and 31 school-based Learn and SERVE programs that provide youth with opportunities both in and out of the classroom to develop personal and social skills, enrich their academic learning, and gain a sense of what community is and what it means to take care of it. For more information about Learn and SERVE Michigan contact the MCSC at (517) 335-4295. �• Michigan's Volunteer Investment Grants $1 million in State of Michigan funds are available annu,ally for Michigan's Volunteer Investment Grants (VIG).

The grants encourage, facilitate and enhance community partnerships that support volunteerism. Community Partnerships Michigan's VIG program is intended to facilitate and enhance community partnerships that support volunteerism. Local partnerships must include a community foundation and a designated volunteer agency. While every community is unique, effective partnerships may include: volunteer centers, United Ways, community and neighborhood nonprofit organizations, schools, institutions of higher education, hospitals, senior centers, senior volunteer agencies, MSU Extension offices, local government offices, and other entities that regularly involve volunteers. Who can apply? Michigan's Volunteer Investment Grants are available to community partnerships of nonprofit organizations in Michigan.
