In April the MCSC submitted a new three-year application to the Corporation for National and CommW1ity Service for Learn and Serve-community funds for 2003- 2006. We were notified in August that our application was not approved for funding. Fortunately, we had approximately $100,000 of W1Spent grant funds from the 2002-03 program year. Therefore we were able to offer the existing 11grantees $10,000 renewal grants that focused on sustainability. Nine grantees submitted renewal applications on August 29, 2003 requesting a total of $165 ,251. The applications were reviewed by the MCSC staff on September 4, 2003 . The MCSC staff makes the follow recommendations: The staff recommends renewal funding at the requested amount for the following applicants: Big Brothers Big Sisters ofNorthwestern Michigan Funding Requested $10,000 Funding Recommended $10,000 Boys and Girls Club of Greater Holland $10,011 $10,000 Legal Applicant �Capital Area United Way $10,000 $10,000 Catholic Family Services $10,000 $10,000 Grand Ledge Alliance for Quality Education $10,000 $10,000 Gwinn Area Community Schools $10,000 $10,000 Washtenaw County Chapter American Red Cross $10,000 $10,000 Winn Area Activity Center $10,000 $10,000 Total $80,011 $80,000 The staff does not recommend renewal funding at the requested amount for the following applicants: Legal Applicant Portage Senior Center* Funding Requested $9,963 Funding Recommended $0 *Staff did not recommend this application for funding because the application did not meet the grant criteria.

The Marquette Alger Regional Education Service Agency was funded for 12 Full-Time Equivalent (FTE) members at $147,359 . We have been informed that the CNCS funded 2,037 FTEs out of the competitive funding nationally. Given that for the past three years we have leveraged over $3 million per year, this came as quite a shock to us . We have requested feedback from the CNCS on the applications and justification for why they were not selected for funding. Based on the outcomes of the national competitive application process, the staff was faced with a tremendously difficult decision. We had $1 ,627,634 million in formula funds available to support additional programs, but were informed by CNCS that we could only fund 53 FTEs with our those funds . We had 27 applications requesting $7,454,333 to consider. In making its funding recommendations, the staff considered the quality of the application submitted, past perfom1ance, and geographic and program focus area diversity. The staff makes the following three recommendations: �Michigan's AmeriCorps Formula Application Process Recommendation #1 The staff requests that the following applicants be funded at the reduced recommended amount for the 2003-04 program year.

All staff recommendations reflect that figure. State commissions have asked the Corporation to eliminate the FTE cost cap for the 2003-04 program given the extenuating circumstances. If the cap is lifted the staff would recommend that each application be given additional funds to continue to support a full-time program director. �Recommendation #2 The staff recommends the following applicants receive additional consideration if additional member slots and funds become available for the FY 2003-04 program year.

Members will provide home visiting services to 100 parents to increase knowledge of child development, conduct community outreach to parent groups (reaching over 300 people) that will increase access to parenting education and information, and facilitate 200 playgroup sessions designed to increase and improve healthy parent-child interaction. Members will also recruit and manage 150 parent volunteers annually to support program activities. Even though many of those served by the program are considered "low-income", services are provided regardless of income, making the Success by Six program the only provider of such services to some residents of the county. In the past 2 Y2 years the program has been able to provide 5,284 parents with regular home visits utilizing the Parents as Teachers curriculum, which promotes healthy and positive parent-child interaction.

Most of these events involved collaboration among the program, and local community organizations, businesses, and civic organizations. Members also provided individual support to various youth literacy programs. One of the programs greatest strengths is its ability to continually assess its progress, and incorporate feedback in order to assure it is addressing the most pertinent needs, in the most effective ways. Throughout its first two years the program continually assessed and analyzed community need and systems of service delivery, resulting in a necessary change in program focus to begin in the '03- ' 04 grant year.

Of the 2,233 receiving one-on-one or group tutoring, 70% showed increases in vocabulary, comprehension, fluency, and word recognition. Additionally, members served over 3,000 youth and family members through community reading events or home-based literacy activities. Approaching the end of the program's second year, local community need assessments indicated that there had been systems put in place that could continue to support local youth literacy initiatives, and that other community needs were now taking priority. The program thus changed focus in order to address these new identified community needs, which were to support youth through service-learning and mentoring activities to promote healthy character development. Program activities are designed to result in decreased incidence of student behavior problems among those served, and increased academic performance.

GRANHOLM, Governor MICHIGAN COMMUNITY SERVICE COMMISSION Chairperson Daniel G. Mulhern 1048 Pierpont, Suite 4 Lansing, Michiga n 48913 Phone: (517) 335-4295 Fax: (517) 272-4977 'WWW.michigan.gov/mcsc Executive Director Kyle Caldwell MEMORANDUM TO: Members of the Michigan Community Service Commission FROM: Kyle Caldwell, Executive Director DATE: September 8, 2003 RE: Michigan' s Volunteer Investment Grants Recommendations Enclosed you will find a letter addressed to me from the Volunteer Centers of Michigan requesting modifications to the Michigan' s Volunteer Investment Grants program. Specifically, they are requesting modification of the grant award sizes the narrowing of the eligibility requirements to include only volunteer centers that serve a specific geographic area or community and that operate under a set of national core competencies. After careful consideration and thorough review of the past grant procedures and trends, the staff recommends the following : 1. The MCSC lower the grant amounts from a range of$25,000 to $100,000 to $20,000$50,000. Given the massive reduction in state funding in 2003 (only $280,100 available-a $500,000 cut), this range allows us to continue funding a large number of programs without jeopardizing the grantee's ability to aggressively build an agency endowment. We have considered the issue of lowering the range before and have been reluctant to do so in fear of reducing its impact. Ultimately, we hope that agencies will obtain enough earnings to support staff, programs, scholarships and other valuable volunteer initiatives. We know that will not be possible by making smaller contributions. 2. The goal of this program and of the Michigan Community Service Commission is to be as inclusive as possible with all of our grant making while maintaining the highest quality programs. Similarly, we believe that these programs should enhance and expand the volunteer infrastructure in the state. We recommend, therefore, that the current eligibility requirements remain. �VOLUNTEER CENTERS OF MICHIG• N August 28, 2003 Mr. Kyle Caldwell Executive Director Michigan Community Service Commission 1048 Pierpont, Suite 4 Lansing, MI 48911 Dear Kyle: At the Volunteer Centers ofMichigan (VCM) meeting on August 21, 2003, VCM member Directors discussed the recent decrease in State of Michigan funding to the Michigan's Volunteer Investment Grant program (VIG). They expressed great appreciation for the opportunity to participate since 1998 in this model endowment award program; they also voiced concern over the considerable reduction in dollars now available to participants. Volunteer Centers in Michigan are usually small- most have budgets of less than $100,000, with limited opportunities for funding beyond local contributions. The VIG endowment building program has been the only government program that has focused on volunteer centers as the primary vehicle for increasing capacity and sustainability of the community volunteer infrastructure. Over the past six years, twenty-eight Volunteer Centers have participated in the VIG grant. They have shown their commitment to building sustainability by developing community partnerships, and by increasing volunteerism among all demographic segments of their communities. With the limited amount of funding currently in the VIG grant ($280, 100), Volunteer Centers are requesting that the Commission consider the following changes to the program structure: • Lower the minimum and maximum amounts per grant. This would allow a larger number of community volunteer resource centers to participate in the process. • Limit funding to community volunteer centers that serve and involve an entire community, (e.g., a geographic area such as a city or county), and operate under a set of national core competencies, rather than those organizations that promote volunteerism among only a selected group of people. Rationale for this recommendation 1. There is a continued need for Volunteer Centers to strengthen local volunteer infrastructure, especially in light of the many opportunities being proposed by the State of Michigan to promote mentoring, youth community service, and Citizen Corps involvement in local communities throughout Michigan. Volunteer Centers are eager to build their capacity to participate in these important initiatives. 2. In 2000, award eligibility was expanded to a larger pool of applicants beyond the community volunteer centers, because funds were not being fully expended. However, in 2000, a university research survey established that it was in the years when awardees were required to increase their match beyond the I : 1 level that applications declined. The subsequent change to a consistent 1: 1 match attracted a higher number of applications and competition, which mitigated the perceived need to widen the applicant pool. With a more achievable 1048 Pierpont, Suite 3, Lansing, Michigan 48911-5976 Phone: (517) 492-2430 • Fax: (517) 492-2444 • Email: tymowicz@mivolunteers.org Toll Free: 1-888-393-4737 (Michigan only) • www.mivolunteers.org �standard for the match, it has become clear that the community-based volunteer resource centers are the ri ght target group for the expected outcomes of the VIG grant. Working to get a larger group involved beyond Volunteer Centers is not necessary; nor does it achieve the desired result of strengthening the larger community's infrastructure. While we are concemed about the decrease in funding for Michigan 's Volunteer Investment Grant, we are committed to the value of the program. This was substantiated by the amount of advocacy VCM and its member Volunteer Centers did to educate legislators on the importance of maintaining the full grant appropriation, as was recommended by Govemor Granholm's FY04 budget. Our request for the Commission ' s review is fueled by our determination to strengthen our collaborative work in Michigan ' s communities and to insure that volunteerism has continued support well into the future. Thank you, Kyle, for the professionalism with which you and the MCSC staff have administered the MVIG program. The accompanying training and technical assistance you have provided to grant recipients has also been very instrumental in increasing our fundraising skills. And we would be remiss if we did not take this oppmiunity to specifically thank Angelia Salas for her steady support and guidance in her role as MVIG program development coordinator. If either of us can further clarify this request, please call.

Introduction This fiscal year, State of Michigan funds are available for the purpose of providing Michigan's Volunteer Investment Grants (VIG) to community- or university-based, volunteer, nonprofit agency partnerships that designate and support an agency to function as a community volunteer clearinghouse. Background Volunteers are essential ingredients to the health and vitality of our communities and act as critical problem-solving resources to communities. According to the Institute for Public Policy and Social Research, almost 90% of Michigan's nonprofit agencies depend on volunteers to deliver services. Volunteers are the human capital foundation of the community nonprofit sector. Yet communities often lack the infrastructure to support community volunteerism. More than half of Michigan's nonprofit organizations report that they do not have enough volunteers. Communities need support for community volunteers. The central pillar of this support in most communities is a nonprofit volunteer resource center that recruits and places volunteers, and serves as a volunteer information clearinghouse. Michigan's VIG will increase the number and self-sufficiency of local volunteer resource centers while building their capacity to increase the number of volunteers involved in community problem-solving. Michigan's VIG fund volunteer resource centers to support volunteer activities in their communities. Michigan's VIG serve the dual purposes of 1) supporting community-wide volunteer activities while 2) leveraging local dollars to be placed in a permanent agency endowment that will fund volunteer resource center activities in perpetuity. Goals Michigan's VIG must meet three goals. • Michigan's VIG must support and increase volunteerism and community service initiatives in local communities. • Michigan's VIG must leverage funds for permanent agency endowments housed within a community foundation that will help sustain the activities of a community volunteer resource center. • Michigan's VIG must facilitate and enhance community partnerships that support volunteerism. Michigan's Volunteer Investment Grants Application Guidelines 1 �How They Work Community Identified Volunteer Resource Center An agency or organization currently serving as, or planning to serve as, a communitywide volunteer resource center, convenes, at a minimum, four local agencies to agree to enter into a collaborative partnership and to designate the convening agency as the community volunteer resource center. The designated agency should already serve as a volunteer resource center or be working with the Volunteer Centers of Michigan ( www.mivolunteers.org) and/or Michigan Campus Compact ( www.micampuscompact.org) to develop organizational development plans in accordance with membership standards. Once the lead agency determines their capacity to serve as a volunteer clearinghouse, they must assess their current ability to begin a major fund development campaign as required by the Michigan ' s VIG. While every community is unique, effective partnerships may include: volunteer centers, United Ways, community and neighborhood nonprofit organizations, public schools, institutions of higher education, hospitals, senior centers, senior volunteer agencies, MSU Extension offices, local government offices, multi-purpose collaborative bodies and other entities that regularly involve volunteers. The purpose of the partnership is to demonstrate the community's broad and sustaining support for its community volunteer resource center and to maximize the community's assets throughout the year. OR A group of not fewer than five community agencies convene to enter into a collaborative partnership to designate a local agency or organization to serve as the community' s volunteer resource center. This agency must be willing and able to place volunteers community-wide and not just with partner organizations. As in the previous example, the agency must assess their current ability to begin a major fund development campaign as required by the Michigan's VIG. As the designated community resource center, the applicant must agree to provide countywide volunteer services including, but not limited to, volunteer recruitment and placement, volunteer clearinghouse information, work to generate public awareness around the issue of volunteerism and participate in strategic community development initiatives. The designated volunteer agency must not duplicate the services provided by an existing organization, but may serve to enhance the services provided by existing organizations. Permanent Agency Endowment The partners secure the agreement of a community foundation to establish a permanent agency endowment fund. The money generated from this endowment is used to support a community and/or nonprofit volunteer agency in the role of the designated local volunteer resource center. (See Section III. Application Process for the specific agreement.) Michigan's Volunteer Investment Grants Application Guidelines 2 �OR The partners secure the agreement of a community foundation to track contributions to a previously established permanent agency endowment fund in the name of the community volunteer resource center for the purposes required by the Michigan 's VIG. In addition to the formation of a community partnership, Michigan ' s VIG require an agreement between the county' s designated volunteer resource center and the community foundation or college endowment. The foundation must agree to establish and manage a permanent agency endowment fund for the community volunteer resource center for the purposes outlined in the grant proposal. In a case where the designated agency may already have a permanent agency endowment fund managed by the community foundation, the community foundation must agree to track the funds raised to match the Michigan's VIG. In all cases, the foundation must certify endowment fund levels and match amounts for the Michigan's VIG. Michigan's VIG recipients are encouraged, but not required, to exceed the minimum cash match and continue to build on the endowment fund. The local endowments will be managed by the foundation and governed by local, state, and federal tax and regulations applicable to such funds. Community-wide Plan for Increasing Volunteerism The partners develop a community-wide plan for increasing volunteerism through outreach and recruitment, the community' s capacity for volunteer problem-solving, and the systems necessary for placing increased numbers of volunteers in more community organizations and groups that need them. The plan should also include two visible community-wide volunteer projects that meet community needs, demonstrates measurable community results, shows the value of the Michigan's VIG and generates a broad awareness about the fund development campaign. For 2004, priority will be given to applicants who propose a community-wide plan that increases and supports mentoring in the community. Funds Available and Grant Size A total of $280,100 is available for grants. Applicants may apply for a grant of $25,000. Funds may be used to cover any expenses related to the operation and maintenance of the volunteer resource center including, but not limited to, staffing, office expenses, transportation, programs, supplies and materials and other costs. Match Requirements The applicant must match the Michigan's VIG with a $1-to-$1 local cash match. THE CASH MATCH (local funds) MUST BE DEPOSITED IN A PERMANENT AGENCY ENDOWED FUND ADMINISTERED BY THE APPROPRIATE COMMUNITY FOUNDATION. IN-KIND MATCH IS NOT ALLOW ABLE UNDER THIS GRANT PROGRAM. Michigan ' s Volunteer Investment Grants Application Guidelines 3 �Michigan's VIG funds may support the volunteer activities promoted and supported by the community volunteer resource center. NO PORTION OF THE MICHIGAN'S VIG (state funds) MAY BE DEPOSITED IN THE ENDOWMENT FUND. Grant Approval/Cash Disbursement If the Michigan Community Service Commission approves the application, the grantee will have six months from the grant start date to secure 50% of the cash match. At the time of the deposit of the 50% match, the community foundation will complete an Endowment Certification Form to certify the formation of the permanent fund and its match level to the MCSC. Upon this notification, the MCSC will release 50% of the cash grant in accordance with the approved grant budget. At the time of the deposit of 100% of the cash match- which should occur no later than 12 months after the grant start date, the foundation will again notify the MCSC and certify the match level. At that time the MCSC will release the remaining 50% of the grant award in accordance with the approved budget. Reporting Requirements Michigan's VIG recipients must submit brief progress reports after six, twelve and eighteen months of the grant start date that summarizes program activities, the status of the endowment fund, and grant expenditures. Eligible Applicants Effective community partnerships are essential for supporting and sustaining community volunteerism. Michigan's VIG is intended to facilitate and enhance community partnerships that support volunteerism. Applicants for Michigan's VIG must be designated by a nonprofit community partnership to serve as a community volunteer resource center. Public and private nonprofit organizations, such as United Ways, Volunteer Centers, senior centers, intermediate school districts, colleges/universities, and MSU Extension Offices may apply. TO ENSURE GEOGRAPHIC DIVERSITY, ONLY ONE MICHIGAN'S VIG WILL BE AWARDED PER COUNTY ANNUALLY. Multiple applicants will only be considered in the event that the applications are developed collaboratively in a manner that prohibits duplication of services. In these situations, applicants must submit applications clearly delineating each applicant's responsibility for programming and fundraising. In cases where the applicant agency serves more than one county, it is imperative that nonprofit community partnerships be formed with a minimum of four organizations per county. II.

It is important to note that only money added to an existing permanent endowment fund after the grant start date and certified by the community foundation as being raised for the express purpose of matching the grant will be considered match. The community foundation must also attach a copy of the endowment agreement for any previously established funds. Regardless of existing endowment or the creation of a new agency endowment fund, the Michigan's Volunteer Investment Grants Application Guidelines 6 �agreement must state that the distribution of the fund may only support the applicant in its role as the community volunteer resource center. Additionally, in the event of the agency ceasing to exist, the control of the fund would be turned over to the board of the community foundation. (The endowment will be administered by the community foundation subject to the standard requirements of the U.S. Internal Revenue Service and the State ofMichigan. The applicant/grantee will be required to submit a final audit to MCSC for the applicable fiscal year of the grant award.) Submit Application The community or university volunteer resource center, serving as the applicant, must submit its proposal (an original and five copies) to the Michigan Community Service Commission office, no later than 5:00 p.m., October 23, 2003. Applications may be mailed or hand delivered to the address below. No faxes or E-mail submissions will be accepted. Applications should be addressed to: The Michigan Community Service Commission Michigan's Volunteer Investment Grants 1048 Pierpont, Suite 4 Lansin , Michi an 48913 III. Application Review Process The grant review process will involve three stages: an expert peer review, a technical compliance review by MCSC staff, and final review and approval by the MCSC. Applications will be rated on the strength of the individual elements of the application and their past success in accomplishing objectives outlined in any previous Michigan ' s VTG. Additionally, consideration will be given to the overall general demographic and geographic diversity. The number of applicants may exceed the availability of funds, therefore applicants should make every effort to ensure that they prepare thorough, accurate, and competitive proposals. Michigan's VIG applications will be evaluated according to the general categories listed below. Volunteer Generation (40%) • The quality and thoroughness of the community volunteer plan including the relative number of volunteers (based on community size) to be involved in projects, the number of new volunteers to be recruited and the quality and visibility of service projects to be supported through the Michigan's VIG Partnerships (20%) Michigan's Volunteer Investment Grants Application Guidelines 7 �• The quality and thoroughness of the community volunteer partnerships and community volunteer plan, including collaboration among volunteer service entities involving diverse organizations and populations Fund Development and Organizational Capacity (40%) • The organization's fundraising plan and demonstrated capacity to accomplish the proposed fundraising plan Michigan's Volunteer Investment Grants Application Guidelines 8 �September 15, 2003 Dear Friend in Service: The Michigan Community Service Commission (MCSC) is proud to announce the availability of state funding for Michigan's Volunteer Investment Grants (VIG). These grants help build community- or universitybased, volunteer, nonprofit agency partnerships to support the formation or continued growth of local volunteer clearinghouses. Michigan's VIG program was founded on the idea that volunteers provide a vital problem-solving resource to communities. According to a study by the Institute for Public Policy and Social Research, ninety percent (90%) of Michigan's nonprofit agencies depend on volunteers to make services available, making them an essential part of the nonprofit community. Unfortunately, many communities struggle to sustain the essential infrastructure necessary to support volunteerism. Michigan's VIG is designed to: empower communities with an ongoing source of funds to create or increase the self-sufficiency of a local volunteer resource center; build the center's capacity; and increase the number of citizen volunteers involved in community problem-solving. In its first five years, seventy-seven grants have been awarded leveraging nearly $5 million in local cash match. $25,000 grant will be awarded for the 2003-2004 cycle. A total of$280,100 is available. Michigan's VIG requires a $1-to-$1 local cash match and that local agencies come together in a collaborative partnership to designate one community organization to serve as their community volunteer clearinghouse. Community partners must secure agreements from the appropriate community foundation to establish an agency endowment for the purpose of supporting the community volunteer clearinghouse. The enclosed application guidelines provide details on the application process and program requirements. Please review this infom1ation carefully and return your completed grant proposal to the MCSC office by 5:00p.m. on October 23 , 2003. Facsimiles or E-mail submissions will not be accepted. This is an excellent opportunity to expand the capacity of communities and institutions of higher education to solve problems through volunteerism. If you have any questions about this opportunity, please feel free to contact Angelia Salas at (517) 335-3407 or via E-mail at salasa@michigan.gov.

Lenny leaves today for Washington, DC to participate in Voices for AmeriCorps: 100 Hours of National Service Testimony and will share his story as a member of AmeriCorps Oakland as he fights to reinstate funds for the embattled program. Lenny is a student at Oakland University who served two years as a part-time AmeriCorps member while working toward his degree. He and 36 other AmeriCorps Oakland members tutored 450 first through fifth grade children who showed a 92 percent improvement in their reading skills, an 81 percent improvement in their spelling skills, and a 91 percent improvement in math scores. "There are a lot of children in Oakland County whose lives are better because of AmeriCorps. If I can make this kind of difference in the lives of children in Oakland County, imagine the changes AmeriCorps members are making all across our state and our country. It would be a travesty to see this program cut," said Lenny Compton. Next year a 60 percent funding cut to Michigan 's AmeriCorps programs will reduce the number of AmeriCorps members serving all over Michigan in programs similar to Lenny's from 700 to 300. VOICES FOR AMERICORPS: 100 HOURS OF NATIONAL SERVICE TESTIMONY Thousands of AmeriCorps supporters will gather in Washington, DC for the Voices for AmeriCorps hearing on September 2nd- 6th. The purpose of the hearing is to secure $100 million in emergency funding for the 2003-04 AmeriCorps programs. Voices for AmeriCorps will present 100 around-the-clock hours of testimony from AmeriCorps alumni, business and philanthropic leaders, faith-based leaders, community-based service beneficiaries, policymakers, AmeriCorps program directors, educators, and government leaders from all across the United States. This unprecedented event includes testimony from Joe Banner, president and COO of the Philadelphia Eagles; Robert Corrigan, president of San Francisco State University; Steven Culbertson, president, CEO of Youth Serve America; Bob Goodwin, president and CEO of the Points ofLight Foundation; Ambassador Jim Joseph, former U.S . Ambassador to South Africa; Joe Klein of Time Magazine; Wendy Kopp, president of Teach for America; Robert Putnam, author and professor at Harvard University; Kevin Quigley, president of the National Peace Corps Association; Bill Shore, founder and executive director of Share Our Strength; Secretary Voices for AmeriCorps- September 3, 2003 Page 1 of 2 �Rodney Slater, U.S. Secretary of Transportation (1997-2001); and Harris Wofford, former Senator and co-chair of America' s Promise - The Alliance for Youth. Also testifying are representatives from AOL Time Warner, Brookings Institution, Ewing Marion Kauffman Foundation, and Sylvan Learning Systems. Lenny will give his testimony on Thursday, September 4th, during the morning session from 8:00a.m. to noon. Kyle Caldwell, executive director of the Michigan Community Service Commission (MCSC), the state agency that administers Michigan' s AmeriCorps funding, will give testimony on September 4th and will moderate the morning session. ABOUT MICIDGAN'S AMERICORPS Michigan ' s AmeriCorps is similar to a domestic Peace Corps. Programs are housed within nonprofit organizations, schools, and other agencies throughout the state. Individuals, called members, serve in these organizations to meet community needs around education, public safety, the environment, and other human needs. In an average year, 700 Michigan 's AmeriCorps members help improve the lives of more than 115,000 people and recruit approximately 19,000 volunteers. Next year due to the 60 percent funding cuts, the reduced number of AmeriCorps members will only be able to reach 46,000 people and recruit 7,600 volunteers. The MCSC funds and supports programs that encourage all Michigan residents to volunteer. Annually, the MCSC grants more than $7.5 million in federal funds and $780,000 in state funds to local communities for volunteer programs and activities. #### Voices for AmeriCorps- September 3, 2003 Page 2 of 2 � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Are they ready to assume the responsibilities of managing a democracy? For more than 250 years, Americans have shared a vision of a democracy in which everyone understands, appreciates, and engages in community and political life. To sustain itself, democracy requires citizen participation. In recent decades, however, increasing numbers of Americans have become disengaged and do not vote, volunteer, stay informed about or participate in political activities, or give to charities. While today's youth are more likely to volunteer than in previous generations, they are less likely to vote or be involved in political issues. As a result, young people may not be prepared to actively participate in our democracy when they become adults. Studies show that young people who receive civic education: • Have an awareness of and participate in solving national, state, community, and school issues • Understand social problems, their history, and solutions that have been attempted • Understand the role individuals and organizations play in addressing social needs in their community and beyond • Develop civic values such as concern for the rights and welfare of others, social responsibility, tolerance and respect, and belief in their ability to make a difference Civic education happens in many ways and in many different places, and evidence suggests that much can be done to encourage and increase civic engagement among youth. Schools play a critical role through classroom instruction, facilitating discussion, and providing opportunities for students to put civic knowledge into action. Community organizations can help young people take action on issues and provide opportunities for students to discuss social matters. Families and other community members can engage young people in civic and political discussions as well as encourage and support them while they explore and solidify fledgling value systems. Civic education and service-learning go hand in hand. Service-learning is a teaching method that combines classroom curriculum with service to the community. It has been shown that curriculums integrating service-learning can provide the citizenship education youth need to become civically engaged in their communities.

Chairperson Mulhem welcomed everyone to the meeting and recognized Russ Mawby for inviting us to Brook Lodge. He then asked everyone to take a moment of silence in remembrance of 9111. Chairperson Mulhem asked everyone to introduce themselves. Commissioner Mawby gave background on Brook Lodge. Chairperson Mulhem gave opening remarks and discussed "adaptive leadership" and the learning experience over the next two days. He also went over the agenda of the board retreat. II. Review & Approval of May 20, 2003 Minutes- Chairperson Mulhem Chairperson Mulhem asked for any comments to the minutes from the May 20, 2003, meeting. No changes noted. Chairperson Mulhem asked for a motion to approve the minutes. Commissioner Mawby moved to approve the May 20, 2003, minutes. Commissioner O'Day seconded the motion to approve the minutes. The motion passed unanimously. ill. Standing Committee Reports- Chairperson Mulhem A. Executive Committee Report -Chairperson Mulhem 1. Review Executive Committee Actions of June 23, 2003 - Kyle Caldwell Kyle Caldwell discussed the minutes of the June 23, 2003 Executive Committee Meeting. Mr. Caldwell gave an overview of the AmeriCorps cuts that Michigan received for this upcoming year. Due to the timing of the grantmaking process not aligning with the MCSC meetings, the Commission has adopted a policy of approving through the Executive Committee staff recommendations of funding and then going to the full body at the next Commission meeting for full board approval. The June 23, 2003 memo outlines that the Executive Committee approved the staff recommendations for the AmeriCorps Fommla Application Process. Also attached is a June 19,2003, memo from Paula Kaiser outlining 2 �background of the application process and the staff recommendations regarding AmeriCorps funding for this year. The first recommendation outlines applicants that should be funded at the reduced reconunended amount. The second recommendation outlines the applicants that should receive additional consideration if additional member slots and funds become available. The Executive Conunittee approved the reconunendations so the full body needs to adopt those recommendations. Chairperson Mulhern asked if any Commissioners had questions on the application process and staff recommendations. Commissioner Watkins asked how the university programs work and if additional funding became available would they be funded in a priority order. Mr. Caldwell explained that the universities do not have identical conununity volunteer programs. In most cases, they work with the local schools to use their efforts to tutor. In the case of the Regents ofthe University of Michigan, they work with a number of organizations and the university serves as a host organization to detail issues that align to their school of social work. They have part-time members working in community organizations. There is not a university model used as each one does something different. He also explained that the list was not in a priority order. Sam Singh asked what the impact would be at the local level due to the program cuts. Mr. Caldwell gave a brief overview of the impacts of the cuts. There were 696 members last year and there will be 300 this year. The programs that are being recommended are all looking at anywhere from 50-60% less resources to do their job. You can' t describe that in terms to make it real. Michael Freeman explained the changes that City Year had to make. They have exercised a lot of creativity to maintain their infrastructure. He noted that it is important to maintain the programs so that if funds are restored, they're able to restore their progranuning. City Year has looked at creating a model similar to AmeriCorps where they bring people on to do national service but it's not AmeriCorps. They have created tllis concept of what they want to do in the field. To keep going they'll have to go to their corporate sponsors for additional funds to put these efforts into place. Most programs are looking at creative ways to maintain the continuum of service. Kimberlee Andrews discussed how the programs are keeping their infrastructure in place. 3 �Michael Freeman shared that this is the first time the programs haven't gotten everything they asked for. In the past the programs have been funded at the levels they requested. This year they have to evaluate what their essential and specific needs are. Commissioner Watkins suggested that in the future the focus should be on No Child Left Behind and the high priority schools. The MCSC may want to take another filter to see if some of these schools can be targeted. He also mentioned that the MCSC should find a way to capture some of the human impact stories and as a commission to look for ways to publicize the dran1atic impact. It's not just a reduction in number, there are real human impact behind statistics that are presented. Chairperson Mulhern asked for a motion to approve the staff recommendations for the 2003 AmeriCorps Formula funding. Commissioner Smith motioned to approve the recommendations, Commissioner Watkins seconded the motion. The motion passed unanimously. 2. Review Executive Committee Actions of August 15, 2003 - Kyle Caldwell Kyle Caldwell discussed the memo dated August 25, 2003, which explains that the Executive Committee approved the Learn & Serve School Based grants. This is significant for a couple of reasons. The grant making policies have been changed based on the Learn & Serve working committee of Commissioners. The MCSC took district size and used that as a criteria to balance the amounts of the grants and then crosssectioned that with three types of grants: planning grants, implementation grants, and institutionalization grants. The memo outlined the recommendations from the staff for each of the grants. The Executive Committee has reviewed the recommendations and approved them. As is the policy, it goes before the full Commission for their approval. Commissioner Watkins asked that we take another look at the tools and impact on the high priority schools. Also, what can be done to make sure there is development past the schools. Are the rich getting richer or are the schools that have a really good grant writer tending to get ftmded a little more. Are there things that can be done around this process to make sure we are developing that capacity for districts and communities that need more. Kyle Caldwell explained that due to the federal guidelines, the MCSC had to approve these grants before the A YP schools were identified. The MCSC will now go back through and target those schools and work with the principals of the high priority schools to get them tied in with tllis . 4 �Staff is also going to work to get service learning in general as a tool, not as an add-on. Commissioner Lenz mentioned that she doesn't think that the message of service-learning is getting out to the schools and that we need to work harder at getting the message out there on what service-learning is and how a school district can benefit from it. Paula Kaiser explained that there is some unspent school-based money that needs to be used between now and August 2004 or we lose it. One of the things the MCSC is exploring is a partnership with some of the intermediate school districts to do just what Commissioner Lenz is talking about because many of them are working with these schools on a whole host of things . MCSC staff has had conversations with some ISD's to discuss the concept of how the MCSC can support schools and how can they help us get service-learning and develop infrastructure to support service learning throughout the state. The ISD's were receptive of the concept. The MCSC staff can focus on the priority schools to help them develop some infrastruch1re for service learning. Chairperson Mulhern asked for a motion to approved the staff recommendations for the Learn & Serve School Based grants. Commissioner Mawby motioned to approve and Commmissioner Watkins seconded the motion. Commissioner Smith abstained from voting. All other Commissioners were in favor and the motion passed. B. Outreach and Communications Committee - Commissioner O'Day Commissioner O'Day mentioned that much of their report will be discussed later (AmeriCorps and Mentor Michigan). The Governor' s Service Awards will be given out at the Mentor Michigan Summits. Paula Kaiser went over some tentative dates of the summits but stated that several ofthe dates have not been confirmed. IV. Executive Director' s Report - Kyle Caldwell A. Learn and Serve-Michigan Community Based Funding Recommendations Kyle Caldwell discussed the memo from Paula Kaiser dated September 8, 2003, outlining the staff recommendations for Learn and Serve-Michigan Community Based funding. He explained that these grants focus on nonprofit organizations who work on service-learning with school age populations. The descriptions of the staff recommendations along with descriptions of the programs were included in the memo. Staff recommended renewal funding at the requested amount for Big Brothers Big Sisters ofNmihwestern Michigan, Boys and Girls Club of Greater Holland, Capital Area United Way, Catholic Family Services, Grand 5 �Ledge Alliance for Quality Education, Gwinn Area Community Schools, Washtenaw County Chapter American Red Cross, and Winn Area Activity Center. The only program not recommended for renewal funding was Portage Senior Center. Chairperson Mulhern asked for a motion to approve the Learn and ServeMichigan Community Based funding staff recommendations. Commissioner O'Day made a motion to approve the staff recommendations, Commissioner Pickard seconded the motion. The motion passed unanimously. B. Volunteer Investment Grants Recommended Changes Kyle Caldwell explained that the MCSC received a letter from the Volunteer Centers of Michigan dated August 28, 2003, asking us to reconsider some of the ways VUIG grants are operated. Specifically they are requesting modification of the grant award sizes and the narrowing ofthe requirements of the volunteer centers that serve a specific geographic area or community and that operate under a set of national core competencies. The staffhas looked at past grant procedures and trends. This year the MCSC went from $780,000 down to $280,000 funds available. The staff is recommending lowering the grant amounts from a range of $25,000-$100,000 down to $20,000-$50,000 which will maintain the mininmm of building the endowment at a significant level but also spread out the amount to provide more resources across the state should larger applications come in. The second piece is since the goal across the board for the program is to be as inclusive as possible with all of the grant making, maintain the highest quality of programs, and that these grants should enhance and expand the volunteer infrastructure in the state, the staff is recommending not narrowing the availability and leaving it open for all those organizations that qualify. Chairperson Mulhern asked Judy Tymowicz for clarification and rationale purpose for the second recommendation. Judy Tymowicz stated that there were two points. One is historical reason for changing and widening the number of organizations that would be eligible for the grant. The other is the needs of the volunteer centers in how they operate and what the resources are that's available to them. Because the VIG has been reduced by over 70%, there's fewer resources. This has been the only real reliable resource from either the state or national level that volunteer centers have been eligible for. There have not been funds for them on a regular basis that they can count on. They all are funded locally and they have all been experiencing problems in survivorship. So the resource level they have is very difficult. When the grant was started the volunteer centers had been the primary recipient and applicants for the grants. During the course of the first few years the match could be one-to-one, then another year it would be two-toone. They would have to give twice as much to the endowment in order to get the grant. If they were applying for a $25,000 VIG grant, they would have to put $50,000 into the endowment to get that. The volunteer centers are incapable of doing that. Most ofthem have under $100,000 in income and most of them have 6 �no benefits at all for their staff. At that level, they couldn't do it and they weren't applying so the money was not being given out completely. That is one of the reasons the Voltmteer Centers asked that there be a change to a one-to-one match every year. During that process there was a study being done to find out why people were not applying for the grants and through the course of that transition more groups were added to the applicant pot. When it became consistently a oneto-one match, volunteer centers responded overwhelming and it was clear that was the only reason we had them. The Volunteer Centers argument is that the applicant pool didn't need to be expanded in order for the money to be applied for. It wasn't that they didn't want the money or couldn't use it, it was beyond their reach at the time. The Volunteer Centers are asking with the lower amount of money available to go back to the original pool so that it is not so competitive for such a small amount. Chairperson Mulhern asked who would be added to the pool and who would be excluded. Kyle Caldwell explained that with the proposal there would be two areas that would be in the applicant pool. Those are organizations that have agreed to take on the criteria of the grant which would be the volunteer resource for their communities. The one piece that Judy is describing is accurate but that was not the MCSC's rationale as far as expanding the applicant pool. The MCSC wanted to put as much out in the field as possible. One ofthe other areas of focus was trying to get students involved in volunteerism and the community involved. So the expansion wasn't just about resources, it was about a wider mission for all of the resources. The original grant criteria never changed to say that now higher education is eligible. They were always eligible. Paula Kaiser stated that it may appear that the criteria did change. Through conversions with the Michigan Campus Compact, universities weren't specifically listed as an eligible applicant so it was confusing to them on whether or not they were eligible. After conversations with them they requested the MCSC include them with the other groups such as volunteer centers so that when the application guidelines were available and carne across the desk of someone in a higher education institution, it was very clear to them that they were eligible. So that may have appeared as a change to who was eligible but it never specifically listed them in the past. Judy Tymowicz stated that their concern was not to exclude other organizations because there is recognition of the importance ofthat partnership within the community. The volunteer centers are focused on the community itself as the primary recipient of those services and that really needs to be protected at a time when the infrastructure is crumbling. Chairperson Mulhern asked John Lore to explain the ConnectMichigan Alliance and it's makeup with the organizations that fall under their umbrella. John explained that each of the organizations advocate for their constituencies. 7 �Chairperson Mulhern asked for a motion to support the staff recommendations of lowering the VIG grant amount from $25,000-$100,000 down to $20,000-$50,000 but leaving the eligibility criteria the same. Commissioner Watkins made a motion to support the staff recommendations and Commissioner Seese seconded the motion. The motion passed unanimously. The meeting adjourned at 1:45 pm for the MCSC retreat. The meeting was reconvened at 11:45 am on Friday, September 12, 2003 . V. New business- Chairperson Dan Mulhem A. Report Out Chairperson Mulhern mentioned that there were tremendous exercises during the retreat on Mentor Michigan. It was decided that an additional summit will be scheduled in Northern Michigan. Commissioner Mawby asked what the long-term vision of Mentor Michigan as related to the Commission will be. Are we going to be the long-term operator of Mentor Michigan or do we envision that in some time period this would be spun off as a satellite initiative. Also, is Mentor Michigan protected, is the name registered so that when we move forward, we have the franchise and standards. Otherwise anyone can use the term Mentor Michigan. We also need to look at funding and sustainability, and should Mentor Michigan become a 501 C3 organization. That's a question that should be answered in the vision. This is a new venture for the MCSC. Usually the idea comes to us funded. This all needs to be part of a business plan. We do need to have a vision of what we hope this will become. Kyle Caldwell asked that we put under staff responsibility to come back at the December meeting with a rough outline of a business plan. Commissioner Smith mentioned that we need to establish assignments for the Commissioners. Chairperson Mulhern asked that each of the Commissioners communicate with Kyle in the next month with what it is they think they can contribute and be held accountable for. He asked if there are standing committees already established. Kyle Caldwell explained that there are working standing committees and that a Mentor Michigan committee needed to be added. Commissioner Collier asked for further discussion on the Volunteer Investment Grants. He would like to take another look at the grants. If we're going to go to the private sector and ask for support for Mentor Michigan, and we all recognize that the State doesn't have a whole lot of dollars and does have other resources to apply, there is great flexibility in the Volunteer Investment Grants. He thinks it would be helpful if a portion of those resources could somehow be tied to the 8 �Volunteer Centers and Mentor Michigan in such a way that we could say there is a financial commitment there on behalf of the Commission and the state. He thinks it would be helpful as the business plan moves forward if we could make that relationship work. The budget is $280,000 for the Volunteer Investment Grants and is fairly flexible in terms of the way it is earmarked by the state. He is not suggesting that the whole amount go to Mentor Michigan but it would seem that it would make sense to have a chunk of it to have a relationship between the Volunteer Centers and Mentor Michigan. Paula Kaiser mentioned that when programs apply for the funds they have to propose two community wide service projects and that has always been a requirement. One of the things that has been discussed is to give priority funding to those that propose projects that support mentoring in some way. There is a lot of flexibility in terms in how they define those community service projects. In some cases it has been community wide training on a specific issue, some cases it has been Make a Difference Day. But the MCSC is already thinking about incorporating that as a way of leverage to move the Mentor Michigan agenda forward. She asked Commissioner Collier if he thought that would be enough. Commissioner Collier didn't think it was enough. He would be inclined to be more direct. The MCSC has a strategic opportunity in terms in how that appropriation can be used. Chairperson Mulhern said that the motion is to look at the Volunteer Investment Grants and see if they can be used to leverage service for mentors and also to leverage other funds (public or private) that would be used for mentoring. Kyle Caldwell clarified that Commissioner Collier would like the MCSC to use the Volunteer Investment Grants to leverage the resources to implement Mentor Michigan. Commissioner Collier thinks that this is what is needed to take a position on so that the agenda can move forward. Commissioner Collier made the motion to amend the guidelines to put in place a direct relationship between Mentor Michigan and the use of the Volunteer Investment Grants. Commissioner Aldridge Eason supported the motion. Chairperson Mulhern asked for discussion. Commissioner Lenz asked if all of the money would be used to support Mentor Michigan or is it an option that they may use some of the money in that way. Commissioner Collier suggested that there shouldn't be an option but that there should be a direct relationship to the funds available to the Volunteer Investment Grants and Mentor Michigan. Not necessarily the whole thing, but a relationship that will help leverage other resources. Kyle Caldwell clarified that there is not a statutory requirement on the use of the funds. It is a line-item within the budget. It is an endowment leveraging program. 9 �The operational side can be directed towards mentoring initiatives that support Mentor Michigan. How they choose to raise the match and endow will not change, it will still be an endowment that supports the Volunteer Center. It 's the operational side with the state dollars that provides the flexibility. There is no statute that forces the MCSC to direct that money one way or another. Paula Kaiser said that what the MCSC could do is on a more direct way specify if they request $25,000, they have to raise $25,000 to put in an endowment, the $25 ,000 the MCSC gives them has to support mentoring in their community in some way. The MCSC can give them some suggested ideas. Al Swain asked who or how it will be decided whether it is a portion of the VIG or all. Kyle Caldwell said that the way the motion is currently crafted, the activity side of the grant will require there be a mentoring initiative. So all the funding will be directed at mentoring. It will not change the integrity of the program because they willl still have to provide a match that goes into the endowment to support the volunteer center. Commissioner Lenz said that she feels that it is changing the integrity of the program. "It's not that I don't support mentoring, but when we decided to promote this program it was to help the local communities build support for volunteerism. How they choose to do that is up to them and I don't like the idea that now that we have this new initiative we're going to give priority to this particular area. I don't think that's right and I do think it changes the look of this program." The motion was approved by nine Commissioners, with four Commissioners opposed. (Lenz, Roth, Macon, Newport) The motion carries. VI. Public Comment - Chairperson Dan Mulhern Chairperson Mulhern spoke to the issue of membership. The MCSC has a new Conunissioner, Elizabeth Bunn, who participated in the retreat on Thursday. There are two Commissioners, Karen Eason Aldridge and Matt Wesaw, whose terms have expired. Karen will continue to work with the MCSC through initiatives with the Governor' s Office. Pam Faris will fill the second spot. She is the Lt. Governor's spouse and is an advocate of service and Mentor Michigan. Chairperson Mulhern also mentioned that there are a couple of other positions that will be up and the MCSC is looking at what is needed and the statutory requirements. Here stated that he hopes that anyone that cycles off will stay involved with the Commission. He asked if there were areas we should be thinking about? Commissioner Benson mentioned someone in the hierarchy of the church - an official that could carry the message back to the church. Joclyn Yanda suggested a Hispanic representative. 10 �Commissioner Swain suggested a well-placed media representative. Conunissioner Mawby suggested a higher education representative (University President) Commissioner Swain mentioned the National Youth with Disabilities Mentoring Day and invited Commissioners to participate. VII. Adjourn - Chairperson Mulhern Chairperson Mulhern asked for a motion to adjourn. Commissioner Mawby moved to adjomn the meeting. Conunissioner Seese seconded the motion. The meeting was adjourned at 12:15 pm. 11 � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Welcome and Introduction - Chairperson Mulhern Commissioner Mike Makki welcomed everyone to ACCESS and gave a brief overview of the facility. He then introduced Ismael Ahmed, Executive Director, ACCESS, who welcomed everyone and introduced several ACCESS department heads and explained what their roles are. He described their AmeriCorps*VISTA program. ACCESS is 33 years old and started as a small storefront to help neighborhood citizens. This year ACCESS will open case records on 50,000 people in 70 programs and serve 500,000 contacts with people that don't open case records but need programs in cultural, food and shelter. ACCESS works with other communities across the city and state and has also began to work with programs nationally. AmeriCorps*VISTA has been a part of ACCESS for the past 12 years, developing new programs, helping projects that ACCESS couldn't afford to get done in the neighborhood, particularly with young people, and helping to educate new immigrants. Mr. Ahmed introduced Karen Rignall and she explained how ACCESS is working with communities around the country to get ArabAmericans involved in building their communities. The AmeriCorps*VISTA program is giving a jumpstart to efforts in organizing Arab-American communities to make sure they have access to services they need including social services, after-school services and parenting classes. The meeting was called to order at 12:15 p.m. by Chairperson Mulhern. Chairperson Mulhern welcomed everyone to the meeting and asked the Commissioners to introduce themselves and to share how long they've been with the Commission. II. Review and Approval of September 11-12, 2003 Minutes - Chairperson Mulhern Chairperson Mulhern asked for a motion to approve the minutes from the September 11-12, 2003 board meeting. Commissioner Mawby moved to approve the minutes, Commissioner Pickard seconded the motion. The motion passed unanimously. 2 �III. Review of MCSC Mission and Goals - Chairperson Mulhern and Kyle Caldwell A. Review Goals and Draft Mission Statement- Chairperson Mulhern Chairperson Mulhern discussed the new proposed vision statement. There was a great deal of discussion about this at the retreat and great conversations that pointed out a reciprocal nature and how to build a culture where people serve and are served in the process and stimulate other people to service and volunteerism and that they feel it is fulfilling for themselves. The proposed vision statement is a reflection of that and a melding of prophetic and visionary role and a practice notion of what we do. The proposed vision statement reads: "Building a culture of service by providing vision and resources to strengthen communities through volunteerism." Chairperson Mulhern felt it was a happy blend but is open to conversation about the statement. He asked for any questions or comments. With no questions, Chairperson Mulhern asked for a motion to accept the new vision statement. Commissioner O'Day moved to approve the new vision statement, Commissioner Seese supported. The motion passed unanimously. B. Overview ofMCSC Scope of Work- Kyle Caldwell Chairperson Mulhern asked Kyle Caldwell to outline the goals for the upcoming year. Kyle explained that the idea of going through goal-setting with what the MCSC has gone through in the past year is almost crazy but found it was a good exercise because it taught us the value ofwhat we are doing. Mr. Caldwell gave a powerpoint presentation with an overview of the organization in the last 18 months, where we are budget wise, and where we're going. The MCSC organization consists of four elements working all at once. The bulk of what the MCSC does in both scale and time is a grantmaking organization. We deliver grants but also help with evaluation, getting quality programs, dealing with monitoring and oversight, but also how to grow and build capacity of those programs that receive funds. The next layer is we convene innovative volunteer programs and efforts to finding opportunities. These Mentor Michigan summits are an example of how to convene people to talk out the issues for the non-profit sector. What do they need around volunteers and how the MCSC can help through grantmaking, other activities, and leadership to really make things happen. The third level is the MCSC recognizes those things that are exemplary service both on the individual and organization basis with the Governor's Service Awards and Mentoring Summits. The pinnacle the MCSC is trying to build towards is encouraging people to volunteer. All of the other things help support that. Mr. Caldwell explained that the MCSC is a state government organization that promotes and supports a variety of different volunteer efforts. It is govern by a Governor appointed board and administers state and federal funds with the bulk being federal funding. It also is a provider of statewide recognition of exemplary volunteers. 3 �When you look at the MCSC programs, it breaks out into some basic areas. AmeriCorps deals with human needs, education, public safety, and environment all in the context of an AmeriCorps program working in a team at a grassroots level. The AmeriCorps members receive a stipend and education award for their term of service. Citizen Corps, which is one of the newer federal programs to MCSC, focuses on homeland security, citizen preparedness, and community organizing at the grassroots level. Learn & Serve - working with young people (K-12) to encourage the idea of service to communities but also using it as a way of doing hands-on learning with kids. This program is administered with the Department of Education. It involves more than 33,000 students annually. Volunteer Investment Grants is an endowment building program for volunteer resource centers across the state that has leveraged almost $6 million in endowments for volunteer centers so that they can continue their work. It's one of a kind in the nation, no other state is doing this. It is focusing on the longterm capacity of volunteer resource organizations. Mentor Michigan is the newest program and Paula Kaiser will talk more about this later. This is one of the MCSC's biggest priorities given the interest of the Governor, First Gentleman, and all of the Commissioners. The goal is building capacity to help and encourage individuals to mentor and focuses on the mentoring nonprofit organizations. The Governor's Service Awards (GSA) is an annual recognition program. This year the GSA dinner will be in conjunction with the MCSC board meeting on May 24. It is awarded to volunteers for their exemplary service and this year is coupling with the Volunteerism SuperConference. When you look at MCSC programs by percentage, 94% of funds are federal. The largest single program is AmeriCorps with 51% of programming funding, 28% goes to Citizen Corps because that is a new and growing pool of funds, 15% for Learn and Serve, only 6% is state funding and that's for the Volunteer Investment Grants (that is more than several other states throughout the country) and Mentor Michigan hasn't been determined yet. When you look at the profile of the budget, it's weighted pretty heavily towards the federal initiatives. Mr. Caldwell went through the difference in the program funding between 2002 and 2003: AmeriCorps went from $6.2 million to $2 .2 million; Citizen Corps went from $444,785 to $1.3 million; Learn & Serve $879,770 to $700,000; VIG started out at $780,000 and went down to $280,000 this year. The MCSC is still doing an immense amount of work and staff are to be heralded for the work that 4 �they're doing with shrinking resources. It is getting to places that it's not been before and doing some great things across the state so there's a lot to be proud of. Impact numbers: In 2002 AmeriCorps had 696 members with 24 progrqms and there will be 300 members this year with the number of locations yet to be determined. Citizen Corps will be in 18 communities compared to six last year. The outlook for next year will be the ground breaking for Mentor Michigan. It's very exciting to see the work from the summits and the people were very excited about mentoring. There will be some restoration of AmeriCorps funding as $100 million was restored back into the budget for 2004. Hopefully the MCSC will see about a 25% increase in what we're able to do for next year for AmeriCorps. There is increased interest in Service-Learning and in February Representative Doug Hart will speak about the hearings that Diana Algra and the ServiceLearning team helped to facilitate over the course of the fall. There will be increased resources for Citizen Corps. It's going to be a growing part of the MCSC portfolio for a couple of years which is the federal trend. There will be continued budgetary restraints. The state economy is going to be slow in coming around. There will be increased pressure in workload because the workforce is not going to grow even though the MCSC programming and the kind of work we do is going to expand. Mr. Caldwell then discussed the goals for 03-04. The major goal for the organization this year is to get Mentor Michigan integrated into the Commission and it's programming. It's not a difficult challenge but for the first time we will take all of our program areas and focus on a type of volunteerism and that is a shift for the organization. This gives us the opportunity to do programming a little deeper in an area. Again, the MCSC has been general volunteerism for over a decade and now will be focusing down a little bit on one type ofvolunteerism. We need to examine the role of national service, we need to focus the staff on developing Mentor Michigan, and we're going to have to align our programs, including Governor's Service Awards. The MCSC will develop a long-range plan based on the Governor's goal of 10,000 mentors; determine an overall goal based on what we want to do this year specifically and then 4-15 years out; access the needs of communities as was done with the six mentoring summits and focus on the five areas to work on; develop an awareness campaign (January is National Mentoring Month); gather practioners to advise our work; and gamer resources to support those efforts. Mr. Caldwell explained the goals for AmeriCorps. Two years ago the biggest concern was if the President doubles or triples the size of AmeriCorps will there be the ground capacity to administer that and the ability to handle that scope of demand. Those were the plans that year. Then came the train wreck of the trust. All of our goals were expansion and we had the reality of contraction that we weren't ready for. So mid-summer the Senior Staff outlined the new goals: get this national thing fixed, get the federal funding restored, get this mess off the 5 �radar, and get back to the goals of our agenda. We've seen that. There's a new CEO at CNCS, $100 million more in the FY04 budget for AmeriCorps specifically, the goal of training in FY05 budget will have a larger increase for AmeriCorps and other things, the national area is focused on the communities not the administration. The communities are saying this needs to get fixed and this is how we want it fixed because of a grassroots community movement that we started. The Corporation is now listening to the field and that is a fundamental shift in this program. Mr. Caldwell outlined the goals for AmeriCorps: • • • • Continue to increase the level of funding for AmeriCorps and continue the advocacy work at the state and federal level. Align and encourage existing grantees toward mentoring - we put in the new application for AmeriCorps that this is a new and very clear priority. Increase and restore the number of AmeriCorps programs - we're looking at a 25% growth from the 300 this year to next year; maintain program support. Broaden the exposure of program efforts including bringing Commissioners to the AmeriCorps programs so that there is more interaction on the ground. Citizen Corps: • Triple the number of Citizen Corps councils. Currently there are 18 councils. The goal is to have 50 by the end of the year. • Work with existing and new councils to include all Citizen Corps programs. • Establish a CERT academy and integrate it into the Community College system. • Quadruple the number of CERT trainers across the state. There are currently 100 trainers. Volunteer Investment Grants: • Align grant-making with mentoring priorities. • Re-acquire some of the previous years' funding levels- $280,000 is a number we need to grow from. • Develop partnerships in corporate and philanthropic sector to see if we can infuse more resources into this program and provide more support. • Establish a data collection method to determine impact ofVIG. Currently we can tell you how much is invested but we can't tell you how many lives have been impacted. Learn and Serve: • Broaden the leadership and dialogue. The Learn and Serve team has been working to get policy makers involved and working with the State Superintendents through their association. • Secure increased levels of funding. • Secure and disseminate research on the effectiveness. This spring there should be data available on a study that has been done on service learning and MEAP scores. 6 �• • Develop a resource library for service-learning advocates to use but also for best practices. Develop a recognition program (Service Learning Award). Governor's Service Awards: • Increase the number of nominations. • Host a statewide recognition event (this year at the Volunteerism SuperConference). • Defray costs of GSA with fundraising. Mr. Caldwell explained that General Motors has sponsored $10,000 for GSA and thanked Commissioner Pickard for her help. • Secure media partners. • Broaden the support for GSA. Mr. Caldwell explained that the goals were compiled from the work from the retreat. Also, staff determined what they had going on and the things they needed to work on as well. So when you look at the goals, some are from the Commissioners comments and some are from the staff taking it to the next level. Chairperson Mulhern asked if any Commissioners had comments on the goals. Commissioner Newport stated that he like the goal statements that were compiled but was also anxious of looking beyond the immediate year. Is there any hope that we can look out to 2-year goals as opposed to the immediate year that we are halfway through. Mr. Caldwell stated that the answer is yes. For instance, Mentor Michigan. We can take the goal out for 3-4 years. We tried to talk about program specific goals. But external courses changed every single goal. We need to begin to take on these larger goals and see how elements can help support that. The vision statement is building a culture of service. What are the elements needed to build this culture of service and where do we want to begin to take that on? At the next retreat the board is going to have to look at the vision statement and see what kind of elements they want to see. Commissioner Pickard felt that the comments and recommendations regarding the Governor's Service Awards were looking at long term as far as making it an event that is meaningful. She also commended the staff for following up to comments that were made at the retreat. Commissioner Swain asked whether programs were going to have a problem shifting their focus to mentoring. Mr. Caldwell explained that mentoring was made a priority but that it wasn't the only priority. For many of the existing programs it wasn't a very big stretch because many of them are already working with schools and children. It did focus new applicants into an arena that we' ve not been before to get them to focus on mentoring. In the staff recommendations we did not say that if you weren't focused on mentoring, you weren't in. It was quality first. Paula Kaiser stated that of the 23 programs that filed Intent to Apply forms, 15 of those indicated that they are focused on mentoring. 7 �Commissioner Comer asked why there wasn 't a goal set for the number of mentors recmited. Mr. Caldwell explained that there isn' t a way to track the number of mentors yet but that Mentor Michigan is laying the foundation for being able to track that number. Chair Mulhern explained that Mentor Michigan has been recmiting this year via churches, the summits, etc., so it would be nice to account for what we've been doing. As a philosophical manner, he believes we need a goal even as we're trying to identify how we count. Commissioner Faris explained that when the invites were going out for the Mentoring Summits it was difficult to determine how many mentoring programs actually exist. There is not a measuring stick and there is not an organization that can tell you how many mentoring programs are out there, what they' re doing, and how many kids lives have been affected by mentoring. The programs are looking at Mentor Michigan to begin to provide that data. Chairperson Mulhern stated that through the Mentor Summits the question was asked what measures are needed for tracking. Chairperson Mulhern said that we will push towards what we 're going to measure and how many we're going to have by February and then we can establish as Commissioners what can help drive us to get there. Commissioner Newport asked about the future of the funding for VIG. Mr. Caldwell explained that due to the great work that volunteer centers have done under the leadership of Volunteer Centers of Michigan he believes that the funding will still be there. But the economic forces of the state budget makes it a possibility for elimination. It's going to be where if falls in the priorities. We know the Governor supports it. Mr. Caldwell feels there is a 50/50 chance for VIG. Commissioner Pardoe mentioned regarding Service-Learning that she would like to see the Commission more connected with the Youth Advisory Council (YAC). She suggested a possible presentation at our February meeting so that Commissioners tmderstand what they are doing. Mr. Caldwell gave more background on the Y AC and it's relationship under the Commission. He mentioned that he will have Angelia Salas or Jeanine Yard, who work with the council, invite them to the February meeting to do a presentation. Commissioner Pellegrino suggested that there needs to be more corporate support for Governor' s Service Awards and agreed to help get corporate sponsors. Commissioner Makki also greed to help with sponsorship for the dinner. It could be a great way to raise funds to support the Commission. Commissioner Pickard stated that this event is a great way to showcase corporate support for vohmteerism. Chairperson Mulhern stated that he will work with Kyle and the MCSC staff on making the goals a little clearer and trying to add some numbers where possible and will discuss it at the February 9 board meeting. 8 �IV. Executive Director's Report - Kyle Caldwell A. Mentor Michigan Paula Kaiser discussed Mentor Michigan and stated that it is an initiative led by the Governor and First Gentleman to work to ensure that all youth have ongoing relationships with stable, caring individuals. The PR tag line being used is "Mentor Michigan- awakening and nurturing the amazing potential in youth." The belief is that every child has a right to a caring adult; that everyone is responsible for the well-being of our children including organizations like businesses, colleges and universities, schools, non-profits, faith-based organizations; and volunteering is a significant way for people to enrich their lives by giving of themselves to children in their communities. The vision is a Michigan where all children are nurtured and supported and where all children grow into a caring and contributing adult. The MCSC is partnering with the Volunteer Centers of Michigan with the 1-800-Volunteer number. This will enable an adult or child to call that number and get connected to a mentoring organization. The MCSC is defining mentoring by using the National Mentoring Partnership's definition of"a structured and trusting relationship that brings young people together with caring individuals who offer guidance, support and encouragement aimed at developing the competence and character of the men tee." This information was shared at the six mentoring summits. There are four different kinds of men to ring including traditional (one adult/one child), peer mentoring (older child/younger child), group mentoring (1 adult/4 children), and e-mentoring. Some facts regarding mentoring include 1.2% of all adults are involved with formal one-to-one mentoring, mentors in formal programs are most frequently ages 18-44, they are employed and have some college education, and non-whites and white mentors are equal in formal programs. Mentoring data includes 2.5 million children are being mentored nationally, 17.6 million could benefit from having a mentor, so only 14% of the kids that need mentors have them. Ms. Kaiser gave an update of what Mentor Michigan has done in the last three months: held 6 mentoring summits that engaged more than 1,100 participants across the state; launched the Mentor Michigan website (www.michigan.gov/mentor); launched a listserv where people in the mentoring community can sign-up and then communicate with other mentoring programs across the state and it's a way for us to share information about funding opportunities or resources with them; collected information from more than 300 mentoring organizations through an on-line survey and are currently analyzing that data; modified the MCSC funding including AmeriCorps and VIG to include mentoring as a priority; and launched a lunch buddy program where 25 staff from the Governor's office and MCSC are serving as mentors once a week at a school in Lansing. Ms. Kaiser shared what was learned from the summits: there are lots of mentoring programs throughout the state; there is significant interest from 9 �schools; programs are thrilled that there will be a state level umbrella that will provide leadership around mentoring because what was found was that many of the programs are mentoring but without any support from any national or statewide organizations; programs are looking for resources and support (including financial); and many of the local programs are not connected and did not know about each other and were not communicating. The MCSC had a list of 10 priorities and asked the participants at the summits to prioritize them and choose three priorities. The top five were: 1. Identify and secure resources to support the development and sustainability of programs. 2. To recruit talented and committed volunteers. 3. How to develop statewide and local partnerships to support mentoring by engaging corporations, faith-based organizations, colleges and universities, and government. 4. Increasing public awareness about mentoring opportunities, needs and the positive outcome associated with it. 5. Providing training and support for mentoring programs. Ms. Kaiser explained what is next for Mentor Michigan. January is National Mentoring Month and the MCSC is working with the First Gentleman's staff and aPR firm in Detroit to have radio and television PSA's that are national PSA's but will be localized to include a spot from the Governor and First Gentleman. It will be available to all the media promoting the 1-800-Volunteer number and asking people to consider mentoring. There will also be 100 billboards across the state that were donated. The MCSC is also creating a communications toolkit for the Mentor Michigan website that programs can download. It will include sample press releases, two letters from the Governor that the programs can use, a list of activities that the program may want to plan locally for National Mentoring Month, and tips with working with the media. The MCSC will be compiling a fmal report from the six summits. Through a partnership with Mary Pfeiler at the Corporation, the ConnectMichigan Alliance will be the recipient of a statewide VISTA program where there will be 25 VISTA' s placed in teams of 3-5 people in 5-8 communities. The application guidelines will be announced in January, sites will be selected in March, and VISTA's will be up and in place by July. They will be working in the 5-8 communities and focusing on the five priorities that came out of the summits. One measure that will come from the program will be every one of the 25 VISTA's will be responsible for recruiting 100 new mentors. The MCSC is also developing an evaluation system to track the growth of mentors but also to push beyond just counting the number of mentors and helping develop a tool that will help local programs evaluate the impact of their programs. The MCSC will also develop and secure funds to support Mentor Michigan. As Kyle Caldwell noted earlier, there isn't any money right now to administer the program. There was some unspent training money that paid for the summits. Before we move forward 10 �with new plans for the next year it will have to be determined how to gamer new resources. Even developing an evaluation and tracking system is going to cost money because there is not an internal capacity to develop a system that will be sophisticated enough and useful for all programs. Fundraising will be a priority at the beginning of the year. Other areas of priority will include launching a monthly electronic men to ring newsletter that people on the listserv will be receiving on an ongoing basis; providing ongoing training and support for mentoring programs; hosting a series of discussions with various sectors including higher education, faith-based, government and corporations to get them involved and to focus on that partnership to get them engaged; develop a framework to take a look at corporate and other sector involvement; helping to co-host a meeting of 600 faith leaders in February where the Governor will be addressing ministers and Mentor Michigan will be one of three initiatives addressed; surveying state agencies to find out what they currently are doing to support mentoring and if they are funding it and then will work with them in other ways that they can support it; promoting the 1-800Volunteer number; promoting a website Mentoring.org where you can type in your zip code to find mentoring opportunities; and developing a statewide directory of mentoring organizations across the state which will be available on the website once it is finalized. The MCSC will be looking at the information from the six summits and will be developing and revising the business plan accordingly. Commissioner Thomas asked what kind of best-practices information will be offered to mentoring groups and what will be the partnership with FlA. Ms. Kaiser explained that there are some national elements of effective practice for mentoring that were developed by the national experts in mentoring and were introduced to the participants at the summits. In future trainings, information will be provided that will address some of those elements such as how do you screen appropriately. The MCSC will be pointing them to some of the national resources that are available that people are not aware of. Ms . Kaiser also addressed the partnership with FIA and how mentoring may be one of the programs offered through the A YP relationship with the schools. Commissioner Parker suggested that Commissioners participate during National Mentoring Month in local press events and also possibly doing radio interviews to promote mentoring. Commissioner Pickard asked what the goal for raising fimds for Mentor Michigan is. Paula Kaiser stated that it hasn't been determined. Commissioner Pickard was concerned about raising fimds for Governor's Service Awards and Mentor Michigan at the same time and whether we could combine the fimdraising efforts. Paula Kaiser answered by saying we could coordinate the efforts. The MCSC is starting to look at the 3-year plan for Mentor Michigan and what kind of resources II �need to be leveraged to support the plan. Who do we want to go to, because different from GSA, we may get support from a foundation to support broader administration things that we want to do. Commissioner Swain asked where the Governor appointed advisory council for Mentor Michigan stands. Ms. Kaiser stated that the Governor's office is soliciting names of those interested in serving on that advisory council. The thought is that it would be made up of practioners and experts in the mentoring field because the MCSC board will serve as the leadership board so the advisory council should be the eyes and ears to the ground in terms of those involved and that know a lot about mentoring. Mary Zatina stated that the advisory council may be announced in January but there has been a lot of discussion about what their role will be. Chairperson Mulhern thanked everyone for their help for the Mentoring Summits and the Commissioners that participated. He felt they were a tremendous success. 2. Service-Learning Diana Algra discussed the hearings of the Education Subcommittee on Service-Learning and Civic Education. She explained that each of the Commissioners were given a packet of information on the hearings. She stated that 47 speakers from the national, state, and local levels presented at the hearings around the state including some Commissioners. Members ofthe committee asked a lot of questions. There is a lot of excitement and interest generated by the hearings. The MCSC will continue to work with the subcommittee as Rep. Hart has some other ideas of convening additional groups for discussion including higher education, education associations, and superintendents. Kyle Caldwell thanked Diana Algra for her efforts with the hearings. Rep. Hart has asked Rep. Hopgood to continue the efforts because he is term limited. Rep Hart will also ask for the appointment of a blue ribbon committee to take up some ofthe information from the testimony and drive it further and to discuss the 10 key things needed to make service-learning and civic education work better. Diana Algra stated that Representative Doug Hart will be coming to the February board meeting to discuss some of the findings from the subcommittee hearings. Commissioner Mawby asked what the MCSC would like to come out of the hearings. Mr. Caldwell explained that the first goal was to get service learning on the radar of the legislators. The second goal was to take what we get from the experience and figure out what the field is saying they want and take it to whatever body wants to act. A concise list of recommendations were given at the last hearing by both Dan Mulhern and Dottie Johnson. What needs to happen is this needs to be recognized as a valid teaching methodology. 12 �.. Second, there needs to be some type of recognition given to the teachers that are doing it as a way of profiling and highlighting. At some point in the future resources are going to need to be devoted to this higher than what they are right now (currently there is $800,000 for service learning). And finally it needs a champion and leadership beyond the Commission and this is what the Governor is doing. B.
