Other items for your review include: 1. Program Director' s report on the All Streams National Service Meeting on April 30 the Signature Service Project in Muskegon on May 10111 & 11 1\ 111 , and 2. · Outreach Director's report on the Michigan Community Service Commission (MCSC) Marketing Plan (to be addressed during our standing committee reports); and 3. Finance Director's report on the Corporation for National and Community Service (CNCS) audit and the current and future state budgets. National Service Legislation Attached you will find the President's media advisory on principles regarding national service and the reauthorization of the National and Community Service Trust Act. You can view the full document on the CNCS website at: www.cns.gov. It is worth noting that the principles mirror many of the concerns members of the MCSC raised in the correspondence from the Chair and the First Lady to the new CEO of the CNCS, Les Lenkowsky. In publishing a set of principles, the President has avoided getting mired down in a sea of amendments and parochial issues. The agenda for reauthorization now rests in the hands of the U.S . Congress. Again, tllis is similar to the position members of the MCSC adopted in their transmission of a resolution last January. Congress is due to take up reauthorization over the next six months in hopes that a bill could reach the President's desk by the fall at the earliest. �In the meantime, the CNCS has issued a Notice of Funding Available (NOFA) to strengthen communities and organizations in using service and volunteers to support homeland security. The CNCS will make available approximately $5 million under this announcement for AmeriCorps*State and National programs. They anticipate funding approximately 10 to 15 grant awards ranging from $200,000 to $750,000. The CNCS will consider requests to use a portion of the $5 million in new funds earmarked for AmeriCorps*State competitive and National to expand existing programs. The MCSC staff will keep commissioners informed as to what organizations apply for these funds and for what purposes. Michigan Citizen Corps At our previous meeting, I reviewed the national initiative- USA Freedom Corps-as announced by the President in his State of the Union Address to the U.S. Congress. Since then, there has been some heavy activity in the form of community organization around homeland security and in local dialogues around emergency preparedness. In addition, the USA Freedom Corps office is beginning to develop communication strategies to engage the general public. The MCSC staff members have been involved in some ofthese dialogues and have been charged by the Governor to take the lead in the development of Citizen Corps in Michigan. The recent call to action by the President has been meet with enthusiasm by the Governor and as a result, the MCSC will be placed at the center ofthat activity. Governor Engler has ordered that the USA Freedom Corps' new initiative- the Citizen Corps-will be administered by the MCSC. The Governor will unveil his plans at the Governor' s Service Awards program to be held in conjunction with the Volunteerism Superconference on April29, 2002. Commissioners have a draft of the plan included in this packet and will be provided more detailed information at the April29, 2002 meeting. Briefly, the Governor wishes to connect citizen action with emergency preparedness. The attached talking points further detail this initiative. The bulk of my report presentation at our next meeting will detail this initiative. 2 �Corporation for National and Community Service FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE April 9, 2002 CONTACT: Sandy Scott sscott@cns.gov 202-606-5000 ext. 255 President Bush Unveils Principles to Strengthen National Service "Citizen Service Act" Would Expand and Improve AmeriCorps, Senior Corps (Washington, D.C.)- In Connecticut this morning, President Bush unveiled his principles to strengthen and reform the programs of the Corporation for National .and Community Service. The President's proposal was shared on Capitol Hill by Corporation CEO Leslie Lenkowsky, who testified before the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions committee simultaneously. The President released a 17-page "Principles and Reforms for a Citizen Service Act" to guide the reauthorization of the Corporation and its programs AmeriCorps, Senior Corps, and Learn and Serve America. These programs engage 2 million Americans in service to meet critical community needs each year. The proposed 5-year extension would be the first since the Corporation's creation in 1993. Earlier this year, the President proposed increasing AmeriCorps by 25,000 members and Senior Corps by 100,000 in his 2003 budget. "Reforming and enhancing AmeriComs and Senior Corps are important steps in providing hundreds of thousands of Americans with meaningful service opportunities," said President Bush. "I look forward to working with the Congress in a bipartisan fashion to ensure the federal government does its part to support the commitment of Americans to our communities and our Nation." The President made his remarks to volunteers in Bridgeport after touring an after-school program run by Save the Children. The "Web of Support" after-school program uses AmeriCorps members and Foster Grandparents to tutor and teach computer skills to 200 Bridgeport children. Lenkowsky fleshed out the President's principles at the Senate HELP �committee hearing on the Corporation's reauthorization. The principles have four major objectives : • • • • Support and encourage greater engagement of citizens in volunteering, such as by making volunteer mobilization a priority, lowering the age for Senior Corps from 60 to 55 , and improving the benefits for ArneriCorps service. Make Federal funds more responsive to state and local needs, including giving states more authority to select AmeriCorps programs, providing greater flexibility, and allowing ArneriCorps members to build the capacity of nonprofit organizations where they serve. Make Federal support more accountable and effective, such as by directing grantees to specify program objectives and meet accountability requirements established by the Corporation. Provide greater assistance to secular and faith-based community organizations, by among other things making ArneriCorps*VISTA even more helpful to groups on the frontlines of helping the poor and needy. Lenkowsky thanked Chairman Edward Kennedy (D-MA), Ranking member Judd Gregg (R-NH) and committee members for their longstanding support of national service, and pledged to work with them to put the Corporation on a strong, bipartisan footing for its second decade. On Thursday, Lenkowsky testifies on reauthorization before the House Subcommittee on Select Education. "Since the Corporation was created in 1993, it has accomplished a great deal," said Lenkowsky. "But to better help build a culture of citizenship, service, and responsibility, we must use the lessons of the past decade to strengthen the quality of the Corporation's efforts and assist more Americans to serve their communities and their country." In his State of the Union address on January 29, 2002, President Bush called on all Americans to serve their country for the equivalent of two years and announced the creation ofUSA Freedom Corps. USA Freedom Corps is a comprehensive, integrated citizen service initiative to engage more citizens in service at home and abroad by strengthening ArneriCorps, Senior Corps and the Peace Corps, and by establishing a new Citizen Corps for homeland defense. Americans have responded to the President's call. Since the speech, online applications to ArneriCorps have shot up 70 percent, and interest in Senior Corps has risen even more. The Freedom Corps website has had 9 million hits. A blue-ribbon committee, chaired by former Senator John Glenn, has just called upon the nation's schools to invest more �heavily in service-learning, a teaching method that combines academic learning with community service. "This is an extraordinary moment in the history of our country and the agency I head," said Lenkowksy. "At a tragically high price, all of us have come to realize how precious our freedoms are and why it is important for all of us to accept the responsibilities of citizenship in order to preserve them. The President's Citizen Service Act will usher in a new era of service for our country, and I hope Congress will act quickly to seize this moment." Created in 1993, the Corporation for National and Community Service engages more than 1.5 million Americans annually in improving their communities through three programs: AmeriComs, Senior Corps and Learn and Serve America.

The President has gathered a people together to demonstrate overwhelming compassion for the victims and families affected by the events of September 11th. "Our great challenge now is to encourage this outpouring of service and civic pride - and to harness it to a great national purpose." President George W. Bush • Homeland security is a vital national as well as local interest. The events of September 11th changed and amplified how American's view their roles in society making service and volunteerism more important now than ever before. • Locally engaged citizens are the greatest defense to security threats, the most powerful resource in times of crisis and the most enduring form of community problem solving. • Michigan has taken a proactive approach to crisis management and has an emergency response plan through the Emergency Management Division of the Michigan State Police that directs and focuses the resources of federal, state and local law enforcement and emergency management organizations. This executive order builds on these plans and combines their forces by engaging citizens in service and expanding the resources available in response to crisis as well as in prevention and community strengthening. • Michigan has developed a strong infrastructure for helping its citizens serve their communities through a statewide alliance for volunteerism-the ConnectMichigan Alliance, a network of volunteer centers, a wide array of national service programs like AmeriCorps and Senior Corps, service-learning initiatives in schools, community collaboratives like America's Promise, annual activities like Make A Difference Day, and recognition programs like the Governor:s Service Awards. �• The Michigan Citizen Corps will establish an advisory body to the Michigan Community Service Commission that will: o o o o Submit a state plan for homeland security through volunteerism to the Governor; support the development and coordination of local citizen corps councils; broker federal , state and local resources including national service programs, for local volunteer citizen corps initiatives; and coordinate with the Michigan State Police Emergency Management Division and the Federal Emergency Management Agency to enact the state plan and channel federal resources for training and technical assistance. • The Michigan Citizen Corps Council will comprise 12 members and will mirror local councils in their make up by including representatives from law enforcement, fire and emergency medical services, businesses, community-based volunteer organizations, schools, places of worship, health care institutions, public works, social service agencies and other key sectors. • The local Citizen Corps Councils will provide universal coverage (at a minimum, every Michigan county will be served by a council) for the coordination of engaged and prepared local volunteers and emergency management organizations. • By combining the emergency management forces with volunteer-based organizations, Michigan is ensuring that communities are better prepared in times of crisis or threat while strengthening the civic fabric of our society. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Mawby Executive Director Kyle Caldwell MEMORANDUM TO: Members of the Michigan Community Service Commission FROM: Garry Gross, Director of Finance & Administration Michigan Community Service Commission RE: Finance & Administration Division's Report DATE: April 11, 2002 n _{)·1 The following is a brief update of the current issues facing the Finance and Administration Division. FY 2002 Spending As oftoday, the State's accounting system has not closed out the second quarter of the fiscal year, which ended March 31, 2002. I expect the quarter to be closed by April 15 and I will be able to run reports the following day. I will hand out the comparative financial statement ending March 31,2002 at the Commission meeting on April29. FY 2003 Budget Process Our budget has passed through the House and is just starting in Committee in the Senate. At this point, we have not had any further changes to our budget. We are hoping that the budget will go to the full Senate by the middle of May. Federal Audit There have been major changes during the last couple of months regarding our CNS audit. First, the Auditor General was replaced and the scope of our audit was officially cut back. Instead of being audited from 1994 to the present, the new AG has cut back the scope of the audit to 1998 and forward. This has been a huge benefit for us. Some of our programs from the early years were having a hard time producing records. Many were operating on the federal retention timetable of3 years past the end of the grant and had disposed of their records. And, second, we had our on-site audit of the Commission. Cotton and Company was on site from March 4th through the 15th_ The on-site audit went very well and we were extremely �pleased with the comments and observations during our informal exit meeting. At this time, no formal results are available but we did get some good suggestions at the meeting for changing and updating our current procedures. In addition, the audit firm is finishing up the sub-grantee audits in the field. In the last couple of weeks, they have visited the Family Independence Agency and the Department of Agriculture. With the smaller scope of the audit, we expect that the timeframe for completing the audit will be shortened, as Cotton and Company were able to cut out some sub-grantee audits that were outside the new timeframes. Personnel Matters We have received approval form the Department of Management and Budget on the hiring freeze waiver for the vacant Grants Coordinator position. Interviews were performed on April4 and a preferred candidate was selected. The hiring packet is with the Department of Career Development for approval. We expect approval any day and hope to have our latest staff member on board by the end of the month. If you have any questions or concerns that I can help you with, please feel free to call me at (517) 373-8028 or email at grossg@michigan.gov. 2 �MICHIGAN COMMUNITY SERVICE COMMISSION Comparative Financial StatemenVFY 2002/2nd Quarter As of March 31 , 2002 STATE FUNDS Budget Actual FEDERAL FUNDS Actual Bud~et REVENUES 5,857,300 5,857,300 Current Year Prior Year Carryover 0 0 7,740,442 7,740,442 543,298 543,298 0 122,524 0 122,524 13,597,742 13,597,742 665,822 665,822 5,857,300 5,857,300 8,283,740 8,283,740 122,524 122,524 14,263,564 14,263,564 Program Operational 4,857,300 4,857,300 63,433 0 7,383,289 6,711,008 53,140 0 10,000 0 0 0 12,250,589 11,568,308 116,573 0 Total Sub Grants 4,920,733 4,857,300 7,436,429 6,711 ,008 10,000 0 12,367,162 11,568,308 Total Revenues PRIVATE FUNDS Actual Bud~et TOTALS Budget Actual SUB-GRANTS OPER.

Perh aps you know someone who has taken his or her volunteer commitment to a higher level- year after year. The Governor George Romney Lifetime Achievement Award was establi shed to honor an indi vidual who has demonstrated a lifelong commitment to communi ty involvement and vo lunteer service. In essence, a person nominated in thi s category has made service a way of life. Governor Romney had a passion for community that made him a powerful leader, publi c figure, and citizen. He cheri shed hi s role as a volunteer and hi s personal mission was to e ncourage and support vo lunteer efforts in local communi ties, statewide, and nati onall y. T here is no other individual from Michigan who better exempli fied the spirit of lifelo ng service than Governor George Romney. "The magnitude of our social problems will require that all citizens and in~ titutio n s make a commitment to volunteering as a way of life and as a primary opportunity to create needed change. " Governor George Romney 1907- 1995 Innovative Spirit Award When it comes to so lving communi ty proble ms, so metimes non-traditi onal ways work best. It takes an extraordinary indi vidual or organization to examine a proble m, look past the usua l ways of tac kling it, and dare to try so mething different. The Innovative Spirit Award is presented to an indi vidual or organi zati on who does just that-finds a unique and effective approach to helping people, maximi zes limited resources, and recognizes that, through vo lunteeri sm, anything is possible. Thi s is the ri sk-taker and progress ive thin ker. Thi s is the individual or organization for whom the lnnovative Spirit Award is reserved. �Exemplary Volunteer Service Awards ln times of need, ordinary citizens become extraord inary volunteers.

By developing a desire to serve at an early age, our yo ung volunteers have the opportu nity to begin their lifelong commitmen: of helping others and addressing community issues. Young people often li sten to their peers. For that reason, an annua l statew ide poster contest was developed to promote youth volunteerism. Students are encouraged to create and submit a visual image and slogan they feel wil l interest and motivate their fellow youth. The 2002 Youth Volunteering to Unite Our Communities poster contest invited Michigan students of midd le, junior high, and high school age to work together in teams of two to four to design a poster and slogan. A review panel of youth peers and adu lts from youth-serv in g organizations determined the winning entry which was printed and will be disseminated to schools and youthserving organizations across Michigan. The MCSC thanks the sponsors of this year's contest for their generou s support: Consumers Energy, Mary Estrada, Michigan Department of Career Development, Michigan Department of Education, Michigan Fami ly Independence Agency, and Michigan State Police Troopers Association. Congratulations to the 2002 winners: Tara Kay George, Gina Kalkman, Megan. Scott, and Giovanna Martine z from C. W Otto Middle School in Lansing. We also commend their teacher, Deborah Cole, for supporting these students in their efforts.

His service to more than 25 organizations serv ing adults and chi ldren with disabilities resulted in architectural changes in area buildings, the establishment of volunteer patrols in law enforcement agencies throughout West Michigan, and independence for numerous adults with di abilities. Jim had a vision of a barrier-free America and gave a lifetime of service to ensure it. Jim was a lso a member of several organizations, including the Center for Independent Living, United Way of West Michigan, Goodwilllndust:Iies, Michigan Community Service Commission , Mm·y Free Bed Hospita l, and Grand Rapids Rehibilitation League. .ifUclwf& /RUMMH-Jfw Michele Sherrill-Mix of Alpena is an outstanding example of volunteer spirit in her community and beyond.

Most social service and nonprofit organizations rely heavily on volunteers as a valuable human resource; that resource must be stewarded carefully and supported continuously. Volunteer recruitment, management, training, placement, and recognition requiTe resources and attention. With continued public and private support, along with the necessary training, resources, and coordination needed to help people serve, volunteerism can become a way of life for all Michigan citizens. 26 The Michigan Community Service Commission (MCSC) is a state agency that supports serv ice and volunteerism in Michigan. It serves as a vital resource for volunteerism in Michigan by enhancing and sustaining the capacity of Michigan's volunteer-oriented organizations. The goal of the MCSC is to engage Michigan citizens in community serv ice activities that meet local needs. Since its founding in 1991 , the MCSC has granted more than $4 1 million in public and private funds to community programs, enabling them to engage thousands of Michigan citizens in volunteer service. This support has leveraged more than $34 million in local resources to further support these community volunteer initiatives. • The MCSC has engaged more than 500,000 youth, adults, and seniors in community service activities since 1994. • Annually, the MCSC grants $7.5 million in federal funds to local communities to support national service programs. • Michigan 's AmeriCorps-a "domestic Peace Corps"- is a national service program that recruits more than 800 members each year. For each Michigan 's AmeriCorps member the MCSC has supported, an additional 15 volunteers were recruited to work on issues important to our communities. • In support of America 's Promise, AmeriCorps Promi se Fellows have touched the lives of more than 34,000 youth by providing them with mentors, after school activities, and opportunities to serve their community. • In one day, more than 84,000 seniors, adults, and youth volunteered their talents for Make A Difference Day projects throughout the state. • In the past year, teachers engaged nearly 25 ,000 students in service-learning activities that combine community service with classroom learning. • More than 2,000 volunteers have been identified by theiT peers as " the best of the best" and nominated for a prestigious Governor's Service Award. • Volunteer centers throughout the state increased their capacity to recruit, train , and place volunteers and now cover approximately 85 percent of Michigan 's communities. �MCSC rri~ MCSC!/tal/} Russell Mawby, MCSC Chair Nancy Lenz Jerry L.

We recognize the exemplary efforts of Michigan schools in developing creative ways to make learning through service important components to a quality education. We applaud the work of the students, teachers, parents, administrators, business and civic leaders who demonstrate a commitment to academic achievement and service to community as necessary elements for the continuation of a healthy democracy. The Michigan State Board of Education understands that given the responsibilities and accountability requirements on educational institutions, care must be taken to assure that Board endorsements support educators without undue additional burden . As innovations come to the attention of the Board, tools and resources that assist educators in meeting the current demands for academic achievement, workforce development, accountability, civic engagement and should be shared. These innovations may include the introduction of carefully crafted, teachergenerated and tested, curriculum enrichment materials and active teaching strategies We believe that the teacher developed lesson plans of Learning to Give and the companion techniques of service-learning are valuable tools for addressing the long-term goals of: quality student academic achievement; workforce readiness; safe and secure educational environments; and a strengthened democracy and civil society. We accept the national and state education research that describes how service-learning improves schools, builds communities, and fosters civic engagement among young people. Service-learning techniques help schools to graduate students with a deeper understanding of content, stronger sense of purpose and enhanced commitment to bettering their society. Service-learning offers a powerful, experiential teaching tool to assist educators in fulfilling their current responsibilities. We accept the extremely positive teacher responses to the new Michigan developed Learning to Give initiative as preliminary evidence of an effort worthy of further replication, adoption, and study. These new teacher-tested, standardsbased lessons and resources provide high quality, classroom-friendly academic ,_ �,......., • L ::f-1 units of study directly aligned with the Michigan Curriculum Frameworks. Michigan teachers are in the forefront of this international effort to intentionally transmit the tradition of giving , service, democratic citizenship, and individual concern for the common good to the next generation. Together, the Learning to Give academic resources , and service-learning as a teaching strategy, are worthy of serious consideration by Michigan educators as enhancements and resources to the critical task of preparing Americans for democracy. The Michigan State Board of Education encourages all Michigan citizens to consider how our state's education system will continue its dual mission of delivering quality, academic content in contextually relevant ways, while simultaneously instilling core democratic values, transmitting fundamental ideas of democracy, and providing opportunities for students to build skills in citizenship. In keeping with the MDE policies on Character, Family Involvement, Safe Schools, Effective Learning Environments, Prevention of Bullying and Encouraging Tolerance, we encourage Michigan schools to utilize servicelearning as a powerful teaching method that helps to make learning, exciting , meaningful, relevant and lasting for our students. We encourage Michigan teachers to select and integrate academic lessons from Learning to Give as teacher-developed resources to enrich student understanding of civil society and the role of free people in a democracy. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

The President has gathered a people together to demonstrate overwhelming compassion for the victims and families affected by the events of September 11th_ "Our great challenge now is to encourage this outpouring of service and civic pride- and to harness it to a great national purpose." President George W. Bush USA Freedom Corps The USA Freedom Corps is a response to this national purpose. Comprised of three major components, the USA Freedom Corps will serve as an umbrella organization and will combine the forces of the Peace Corps and the Corporation for National and Community Service with a new initiative-the Citizen Corps-to encourage and support those who want to serve their country. Citizen Corps The Citizen Corps will provide avenues for Americans to serve thro~gh six distinct, yet related programs: • • • • • Volunteers in Police Service Neighborhood Watch Medical Reserve Corps Terrorist Information and Prevention System Community Emergency Response Teams These programs would be operated locally in coordination with funding and other resources from the state's volunteer and emergency management organizations. VI. Michigan Citizen Corps The Michigan Citizen Corps is a model program for implementing the President's USA Freedom Corps initiatives in Michigan. The draft executive order attached implements the President's expansion of service and volunteerism by exploiting the state's existing infrastructure while utilizing the new federal resources in the most efficient and effective method possible. �The Michigan Community Service Commission would spearhead the development and implementation of the Citizen Corps, local Citizen Corps Councils and the volunteer initiatives of the Michigan Citizen Corps. Implementation would include the distribution of federal funds, development of a state advisory council, assistance in the development ofthe local citizen councils, and training and technical assistance. VII. Method of Implementation Establish the Michigan Citizen Corps and Local Citizen Corps Councils By executive order, the Governor of Michigan would establish the Michigan Citizen Corps as an advisory body to the Michigan Community Service Commission (see EO 2002-X attached). The 12-member body would comprise of individuals with expertise in emergency management, law enforcement, neighborhood safety/organizing, emergency medical response, volunteer management and other community-based constituency groups. As one of their initial duties, the Michigan Citizen Corps will develop assessment and action plans for Michigan's Emergency Response Readiness . Additional duties would include submitting a comprehensive plan to the USA Freedom Corps for funding, assisting in the development of local Citizen Corps Councils and providing technical assistance around community strengthening and emergency preparedness initiatives. Eventually each county in Michigan would develop a Citizen Corps Council. In the first year, 15 to 20 pilot communities would be selected to test how best to implement the Michigan Citizen Corps statewide. The Citizen Corps Councils overseeing those Michigan Citizen Corps programs will provide services, coordination and resources to local organizations as a means of ensuring homeland security and community strengthening. Composition ofthe Citizen Corps Councils will be determined by local communities, but would include local law enforcement, medical professionals, volunteer management organizations, government and other profit and nonprofit organizations. Utilize Existing Structures The Michigan Citizen Corps will begin by tapping the existing volunteer and emergency management infrastructure of the state. The Michigan Community Service Commission will assist in this function by convening a series of meetings of state and national experts, providing the necessary staffing, and administering public and private funds . The Michigan Community Service Commission will also direct its grantees, partners and affiliate organizations to provide the necessary coordination and cooperation to develop local citizen corps councils and their emergency readiness plans. Currently, the MCSC and its partners provide volunteer services to 80 of Michigan's 83 counties (see map attached). In addition, the Michigan Community Service Commission will serve as a connection between communities and other state government agencies that can help with �emergency readiness plans including county Family Independence Agency Offices, Multipurpose Collaborative Bodies, and Offices on Services to the Aging. The private sector connections can be provided through the Michigan Community Service Commission as well through the ConnectMichigan Alliance. These may include the Volunteer Centers of Michigan, Michigan Campus Compact, Michigan Nonprofit Association and others. In addition, the ConnectMichigan Alliance and the Michigan Community Service Commission can connect the philanthropic community through the state's community foundations, 4H County Extension Offices, and local United Way Agencies. Develop State and Local Plans The President's Call to Service included providing $144 million in support to local communities to develop preparedness plans. These funds would be distributed based on locally identified needs articulated in their plans. The Michigan Citizen Corps would develop its assessment, implementation and dissemination plan as a means of tapping not only a portion of the development and implementation funds through the USA Freedom Corps, but also national service resources for programs like AmeriCorps, Senior Corps, and Learn & Serve that can leverage volunteers to achieve the goals for the local plans. Local plans would be submitted to and reviewed by the Michigan Citizen Council which would make recommendations to the Michigan Community Service Commission for funding. A compilation of all the local plans would be assembled and summarized for submission to the Governor as part of a "state of readiness" plan. Other organizations may use this plan to help focus their resources on locally identified needs. Disseminate Resources Competitive funding will be distributed through a fair and open application process utilizing peer reviewers and clear guidelines. Local Citizen Corps Councils (utilizing the administrative systems of an existing organization or collaborative) will apply for and administer the Michigan Citizen Corps for federal and state resources earmarked for the USA Freedom Corps and the Michigan Community Service Commission. The Michigan Community Service Commission will coordinate the training, technical assistance and monitoring of the local Citizen Corps Councils where appropriate. Event Specific Actions In the event of local, state or nation emergencies, the Michigan Citizen Corps would coordinate local resources to address any emergency response needs where appropriate. State Federal Emergency Management Agency funding would be distributed in coordination with the Michigan Citizen Corps and local Citizen Corps Council's resources. This may include volunteers, emergency management resources and event specific training and technical assistance. The goal would be to provide volunteer and volunteer management resources in response to any local, state or national need. �Non-Event Actions During "non-emergency" periods, the Michigan Citizen Corps, local Citizen Corps Councils, and Citizen Corps programs would focus on strengthening communities through health, education, public safety and other human needs related programs. In addition, they would continue to prepare and update local preparedness plans taking into account new threats, resources and opportunities as they arise. Background Michigan's Volunteer Infrastructure For the past decade Michigan has invested in the state's volunteer infrastructure. Today, Michigan has one of the most comprehensive and intricate networks of volunteer-oriented nonprofit organizations working to provide resources, support and coordination. The ConnectMichigan Alliance brings together the state's premiere statewide volunteer (Michigan Community Service Commission, Michigan Nonprofit Association, Michigan Campus Compact, Volunteer Centers ofMichigan) support organizations to support statewide and local efforts. The Michigan Community Service Commission serves as a grant making organization that brokers state and federal resources and leadership to encourage and recognize service and volunteerism in Michigan. The Michigan Citizen Corps can exploit this infrastructure along with Michigan's other human services networks including: multi-purpose collaborative bodies, state emergency management agencies, volunteer centers, Family Independent Agency county offices, 4H Extension Offices, community foundations, and other community alliances including Communities of Promise. National and Volunteer Service in Michigan The programs of the Corporation for National and Community Service is an existing organization with a portfolio of programs that engage all populations- from preKindergarten youth to retired senior citizens and includes the largest federally funded stipended volunteer program-AmeriCorps. Michigan's AmeriCorps Michigan's current portfolio of AmeriCorps programs includes 26 nonprofit organizations deploying more than 800 full- and part-time members. Annually, each Michigan's AmeriCorps member leverages 25 additional volunteers making for a high impact volunteer leveraging program model. Learn & Serve Michigan Service learning is a teaching methodology that ties the community to the learning outcomes students need to achieve to be productive citizens. Annually, over 50,000 teachers, students, parents and others serve the needs of their community through service learning. The Michigan Community Service Commission administers nearly $1 million in Learn & Serve funding to Michigan schools and community based organizations. �Volunteer Investment Grants Michigan volunteer centers provide volunteer recruitment, placement, training, and technical assistance to nonprofit organizations. Volunteer centers provide their services to the majority of Michigan communities, however their ability to maintain the quality of services with a long-term strategic develop plan is limited by a number of factors . The Volunteer Investment Grants programs help to develop permanent endowment funds to support volunteer resource centers in communities across the state while also strengthening the leadership, staffing and operations of those centers. Other State-sponsored Volunteer Programs The Michigan Community Service Commission is one of several state agencies that promote and coordinate volunteer programs. The Michigan Department of Community Health's Office on Services to the Aging administers Michigan's Senior Corps programs (RSVP, Senior Companion, and Foster Grandparents) with federal funds from the Corporation for National and Community Service along with some state funds . The Michigan Department ofNatural Resources and Michigan Department of Environmental Quality promote the Adopt a Part of Michigan program that helps volunteers adopt parks, rivers and highways to ensure that they are clean and safe. The Michigan Family Independence Agency county offices coordinate volunteer programs that engage the talents and energies of their clients and others to serve local needs. The Michigan Civilian Conservation Corps engages young people in maintenance and restoration activities to ensure the quality and existence of Michigan's parks and recreation assets. The program is a residential program that provides education awards through the Michigan's AmeriCorps program. Michigan's network of Communities of Promise focus on providing vital resources to children around the five promises of America's Promise: The Alliance for Youth. The 26 community collaboratives bring together are youthserving organizations, government, nonprofit and for-profit organizations to help the the area young people. The Michigan Community Service Commission works in partnership with all of these initiatives and organizations and makes it the most appropriate lead agency for the President's Citizen Corps program. �EXECUTIVE ORDER 2002 - X MICHIGAN CITIZEN CORPS MICHIGAN COMMUNITY SERVICE COMMISSION MICHIGAN DEPARTMENT OF CAREER DEVELOPMENT WHEREAS , this administration continues to be committed to encouraging all citizens, organizations and institutions in Michigan to help in solving our most critical problems by volunteering their time, effort, energy and service in times of prosperity as well as dire crisis; and WHEREAS, the need for homeland security, community health and public safety have increased and have led to the need to call upon the compassion, inventiveness and the entrepreneurial spirit of all citizens to help solve many of the problems facing their communities; and WHEREAS, it is the standing reputation of this administration to discover and to encourage new community service leaders, to promote individuals, organizations and institutions that serve as outstanding examples of a commitment to serving others, and to convince all Michigan citizens that a successful life includes serving others; and WHEREAS, significant issues facing the nation and State continue to be addressed by the collaborative efforts of committed citizens volunteering their time and talents through volunteer centers, national service programs, schools, community organizations, government agencies, businesses, labor groups and a host of other community and State efforts; and WHEREAS, Michigan has established a comprehensive, intricate and effective community-based and community-driven infrastructure for state-sponsored national and community service through the Michigan Community Service Commission and its public- and private-sector partnering organizations; and NOW, THEREFORE, I, John Engler, Governor of the state of Michigan, pursuant to the powers vested in me by the Constitution of the state of Michigan of 1963 and the laws of the state of Michigan, do hereby order the following : �I.

GOVERNOR BY THE GOVERNOR: SECRETARY OF STATE �SECOND DRAFT Michigan Citizen Corps Michigan's Answer to the USA Freedom Corps and The President's Call to Service During his State of the Union Address, the President issued a call for every American to give two years of their lives to others through volunteer service. The President has gathered a people together to demonstrate overwhelming compassion for the victims and families affected by the events of September 11th. "Our great challenge now is to encourage this outpouring of service and civic pride - and to harness it to a great national purpose." President George W. Bush • Homeland security is a vital national as well as local interest. The events of September 11 1h changed and amplified how American's view their roles in society · making service and volunteerism more important now than ever before. • Locally engaged citizens are the greatest defense to security threats, the most powerful resource in times of crisis and the most enduring form of community problem solving. • Michigan has taken a proactive approach to crisis management and has an emergency response plan through the Emergency Management Division of the Michigan State Police that directs and focuses the resources of federal, state and local law enforcement and emergency management organizations. This executive order builds on these plans and combines their forces by engaging citizens in service and expanding the resources available in response to crisis as well as in prevention and community strengthening. • Michigan has developed a strong infrastructure for helping its citizens serve their communities through a statewide alliance for volunteerism- the ConnectMichigan Alliance, a network of volunteer centers, a wide array of national service programs like ArneriCorps and Senior Corps, service-learning initiatives in schools, community collaboratives like America's Promise, annual activities like Make A Difference Day, and recognition programs like the Governor's Service Awards. �• The Michigan Citizen Corps will establish an advisory body to the Michigan Community Service Commission that will: o o o o Submit a state plan for homeland security through volunteerism to the Governor; support the development and coordination of local citizen corps councils ; broker federal, state and local resources including national service programs, for local volunteer citizen corps initiatives; coordinate with the Michigan State Police Emergency Management Division and the Federal Emergency Management Agency to enact the state plan and channel federal resources for training and technical assistance. • The Michigan Citizen Corps Council will comprise 12 members and will mirror local councils in their make up by including representatives from law enforcement, fire and emergency medical services, businesses, community-based volunteer organizations, schools, places of worship, health care institutions, public works, social service agencies and other key sectors. • The local Citizen Corps Councils will provide universal coverage (at a minimum, every Michigan county will be served by a council) for the coordination of engaged and prepared local volunteers and emergency management organizations. • By combining the emergency management forces with volunteer-based organizations, Michigan is ensuring that communities are better prepared in times of crisis or threat while strengthening the civic fabric of our society. �DRAFT April 22, 2002 The Honorable Rick Johnson Speaker of the Michigan House of Representatives 166 Capitol Building Lansing, Michigan 48909 The Honorable Dan DeGraw Majority Leader of the Senate S-1 06 Capitol Building Lansing, Michigan 48909 Dear Senator DeGraw & Speaker Johnson: By way of this letter, I am transmitting Executive Order 2000-7 establishing the Michigan Citizen Corps Council to serve as an advisory body within the Michigan Community Service Commission (MCSC). The Council is a component of the Michigan Citizen Corps-a new program designed to harness the power of citizens to help prepare their local communities for the threats of terrorism. This Order establishes a community-oriented statewide body to facilitate the creation and coordination of local citizen corps councils, help develop local plans for homeland security and volunteerism, coordinate local resources and ensure collaborative programming efforts for community strengthening. The Michigan Citizen Corps will coordinate local and state volunteer training and coordination with emergency management agencies. This is in keeping with the President's vision of domestic security and community development as illustrated in his consolidation of national service and homeland security through the formation of USA Freedom Corps. The USA Freedom Corps is an umbrella organization that encompasses the Corporation for National and Community Service, Peace Corps and the newly created Citizen Corps. The creation of the Michigan Citizen Corps within the MCSC is in keeping with my goals of utilizing service and volunteerism as enduring means of community problem solving and ensuring that resources are channeled to the local level where they are needed most. This Order will better prepare Michigan communities for emergency situations and develop stronger communities through local preparedness plans and coordinated community volunteer resources.

The President has gathered people together to demonstrate overwhelming compassion for the victims and families affected by the events of September 11th. "Our great challenge now is to encourage this outpouring of service and civic pride - and to harness it to a great national purpose. " President George W. Bush • Homeland security is a vital national as well as local interest. The events of September 11 th changed and amplified how Americans view their roles in society making service and volunteerism more important now than ever before. • Locally engaged citizens are the greatest defense to security threats, the most powerful resource in times of crisis and the most enduring form of community problem solving. • Michigan has taken a proactive approach to crisis management and has an emergency response plan through the Emergency Management Division of the Michigan State Police that directs and focuses the resources of federal, state and local law enforcement and emergency management organizations. This executive order builds on these plans and combines their forces by engaging citizens in service and expanding the resources available in response to crisis as well as in prevention and community strengthening. • Michigan has developed a strong infrastructure for helping its citizens serve their communities through a statewide alliance for volunteerism-the ConnectMichigan Alliance, a network of volunteer centers, a wide array of national service programs like AmeriCorps and Senior Corps, service-learning initiatives in schools, community collaboratives like America's Promise, annual activities like Make A Difference Day, and recognition programs like the Governor's Service Awards. • The Michigan Citizen Corps will establish an advisory body to the Michigan Community Service Commission that will: o o o o submit a state plan for homeland security through volunteerism to the Governor; support the development and coordination of local citizen corps councils; broker federal, state and local resources including national service programs, for local volunteer citizen corps initiatives; and coordinate with the Michigan State Police Emergency Management Division and the Federal Emergency Management Agency to enact the state plan and channel federal resources for training and technical assistance. �• The Michigan Citizen Corps Council will comprise 12 members and will mirror local councils in their make up by including representatives from law enforcement, fire and emergency medical services, businesses, community-based volunteer organizations, schools, places ofworship, health care institutions, public works, social service agencies and other key sectors. • The local Citizen Corps Councils will provide universal coverage (at a minimum, every Michigan county will be served by a council) for the coordination of engaged and prepared local volunteers and emergency management organizations. • By combining the emergency management forces with volunteer-based organizations, Michigan is ensuring that communities are better prepared in times of crisis or threat while strengthening the civic fabric of our society. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

The largest number of foundations are family foundations , such as the Herbert H. & Grace A. Dow Foundation and the Frey Foundation . Collectively, foundations in Michigan hold $22.1 billion in assets and make annual contributions of over $1 billion. Most of these assets are managed by a small portion of the 1,980 active foundations . The 402 largest foundations account for nearly 97 percent of this activity. In contrast, the 1,385 smallest foundations with annual giving below $50 ,000 collectively account for the remaining three percent.

Source : The Foundation Center. The grants sample includes grants of $10 ,000 or more awarded to organizations by larger founda tions. Michiga n foundations in the sample accounted for nearly 70 percent of total giving reported by all Michigan foundatio ns in 2000 . Michigan is fortunate to have all counties served by 65 community foundations and their geographic affiliate funds . Thanks in part to the State of Michigan Tax Credit, major support from the W.K. Kellogg Foundation, and a favorable economy, community foundation assets have grown in the last decade to exceed $1 .5 billion with annual grants of more than $50 million. Community foundations are currently partnering with the State of Michigan in distributing Tobacco Settlement Funds for healthy youth and healthy seniors projects. More than 1,500 high school students are annually involved with community foundation youth advisory committees in granting funds for youth projects. Through building permanent endowment funds, offering personalized giving opportunities, and serving as both a grantmaker and convenor, community foundations are helping to build strong Michigan communities. Thanks to the support of the Governor and the legislature, Michigan is one of only three states in the U.S. that provides a state tax credit for gifts to permanent endowment funds held by certified community foundations . For single individuals , or married taxpayers filing separately, the maximum credit is $100 (for gifts of $200 or more). For married couples filing jointly, the maximum credit is $200 (for gifts of $400 or more) . For corporations and other businesses which pay the Michigan Single Business Tax, the maximum credit is $5,000, or 5% of tax liability before claiming any credits, whichever is less.

According to the Foundation Center's recent report, Giving in the Aftermath of 9/11 , Michigan ranked ninth in the nation in funding response efforts. • Total U.S. contributions from institutional donors represented 57 percent ($854.4 million) of the estimated $1.5 billion of all private giving; the remaining 43 percent was donated by individuals. A sampling of how Michigan foundations and corporations responded • Nationwide, over 200 corporations and corporate foundations donated $1 million or more each. The Bank One Foundation establ ished a special Disaster Relief Fund to match employee contributions dollar-fordollar up to a total of $1 million . • 29 Michigan grantmakers contributed $22,441 ,054 of the more than $854.4 million contributed nationwide by 770 grantmaking institutions. • Nearly three-fifths of the $854.4 million was channeled to more than 100 intermediate or "conduit" relief funds (for example , the September 11th Fund of the United Way/New York Community Trust) created to aid victims and communities affected by the disaster. The full Foundation Center report is available online at: http://fdncenter.orglresearch/ trends_analysis/pdf/sept11.pdf CMS Energy/Consumers Energy contributed $50,000 to the American Red Cross New York-DC Explosion Relief Fund . In addition , an in-kind contribution helped provide ten fire-retardant suits for Center Line public safety officers to take to New York and assist with rescue/recovery efforts. Comerica matched employee and public donations up to $250 ,000 . DaimlerChrysler committed $10 million through the DaimlerChrysler Corporation Fund to support the children of victims of the terrorist attacks. DENSO North America Foundation and DENSO Corporation made donations totaling $200,000 to the American Red Cross. DTE Energy Foundation matched all employee donations to the American Red Cross of $25 or more. The Fremont Area Community Foundation matched all Newaygo County contributions to the September 11th Fund , up to a total of $25,000. �Potential challenges to charities Direct Mail Responses Decline Individuals responding to the terrorist attack crisis often gave a portion or all of the amount they had to give to organizations other than their usual causes. As a result of the attack and the Anthrax scare, response rates to direct mail requests have dropped. The Frey Foundation made a $25,000 grant to its local United Way. General Motors contributed $25,000 to the Black America Web Relief Fund , set up to directly aid the families affected by the terrorist attacks. In addition , the GM Foundation contributed $1 million to the American Red Cross and matched employee contributions dollar-for-dollar from the first dollar contributed . Reallocated Funds Some of the millions of dollars given by institutional donors to East Coast nonprofit charities were funds that the grantmakers had not planned to give away for September 11th relief efforts. With grantmakers reallocating funds , Michigan charities may not be funded as they were in the past. Depressed Stock Market Most foundations and corporations keep a large portion of their money in stocks and related investments. Over the past year, their portfolios have weakened , along with their ability to give. A slumping economy can hurt giving from all sources, as institutional donors and individuals have less money to giveaway. The Rollin M. Gerstacker Foundation granted $100 ,000 to the Midland Chapter of the American Red Cross, restricted for New York City use. In perspective The Paul B. Henry Foundation granted $5,000 to its local American Red Cross Chapter for disaster relief. Giving USA Update 2001 released by the AAFRC Trust for Philanthropy reports that: The McGregor Fund donated $100,000 to the American Red Cross for disaster relief efforts. The Charles Stewart Mott Foundation announced grants totaling $3.14 million to support disaster and humanitarian relief initiatives at home and abroad . SBC Ameritech matched employee gifts to selected organizations on a 1:1 basis. The Steelcase Foundation contributed $50,000 to the American Red Cross' National Disaster Relief Fund and $50 ,000 to the September 11th Fund . Speckhard-Knight Charitable Foundation donated $10,000 to the September 11th Fund . • The total amount of giving in the U.S. has increased every year but one (1987) for the past 40 years, including through wars , recessions and other crises . • Of the 70 percent of Americans who contributed something after the September 11th attacks, nearly three-quarters (73 percent) plan to contribute as much money or more than they have in prior years to other charitable purposes . �Connect Michigan AUiaue-e ConnectMichigan Alliance 517/492-2440 • Fax: 517/492-2444 The mi ss ion of the Co nnec tMichigan A lli ance is to promote and strengthen a li fe- lo ng ethi c of service and c ivic engagement through the support of community buildin g initiatives.

Debrief of 101h Anniversary Celebration Commissioner Pruitt made a special thank-you to Commissioner Pickard and GM and Dow Corning for their support in printing the 101h Anniversary Celebration brochures. Commissioner Pruitt asked that we go around the table so that all commissioners could provide feedback on the MCSC 101h Anniversary Celebration event this morning. Overall commissioners felt the event went very well. Some commissioners thought that sending personal notes to all the legislators whether they attended or not would be a good idea. All the commissioners felt that having the MCSC programs on display was a great idea and the programs did a great job showcasing their programs. Some other ideas were to hold the event during National Volunteer Week. Serve a bag lunch. Provide more program displays. Publicize the date of next year's event early and maybe even two years out. Have more contact 3 �with legislator so that more attend. Send reminder notes out a week or few days earlier or even that morning when they are going into sessions. Figure a way to get legislators more involved with the program presentations and maybe have legislators make presentations directly to the programs. Get more legislators staffers to the event. Provide some kind of little gift like a little red wagon or the MCSC button and invite more media for more public acknowledgement. Commissioner Pickard suggested that we invite legislators to the MCSC commissioner retreat and also invite them to our quarterly commission meeting. Mr. Caldwell also stated that during his recent visit to Washington, DC, he did hill visits to promote service-learning, and suggested that we might do the same type of visit to our legislators to promote service overall in Michigan. Commissioner Swain suggested that maybe the commissioners talk to legislators and give them a plaque when they go above and beyond to help promote service in Michigan; an award that might be called a "Champion ofVolunteerism". C. Report of the MCSC Designees to the ConnectMichigan Alliance Board of Trustees - Commissioners Engler and Pruitt 1. Update on ConnectMichigan Alliance Endowment Campaign Commissioner Pruitt asked Mr. John Lore to give the ConnectMichigan Alliance (CMA) update.

Mr. Lore distributed copies of a CMA gift snapshot t6 everyone which gave a breakdown of the money being raised and the money that has already been raised. Commissioner Engler explained that she was recently at a board meeting of the Points of Light Foundation and after the President announced his USA Freedom Corps it was announced that there would be meeting among different groups as a way to come together and as you look at Michigan we have been doing that as a commitment to strength service and volunteerism.

Overview ofMCSC Activity Ms. Mary Grill gave an update on the MCSC Marketing Survey results and thanked all staff and commissioners for their responses to the recent survey. Ms. Grill stated that there was a consensus between both the staff and commissioners that the MCSC gains little recognition for its efforts or the results of its hard work outside of grantees and/or programs that the MCSC administers directly. The commissioners took a more focused approach in recommendations for rectifying this situation, putting more emphasis on a few target markets rather than the broader approaches suggested by staff. Neither group felt they received adequate information about the results of the agency's marketing efforts. More discussion followed regarding the survey results. Ms. Grill stated that they would be using this feedback to help develop the Marketing Plan. Mr. Garry Gross gave an overview of his Finance & Administration Division Report, which was in the commission meeting packet. Mr. Caldwell welcomed the MCSC staff and asked each staff member to introduce themselves and give a brief description of their position with the MCSC.

Mr. Caldwell explained that from 2:30p.m.- 5:00p.m. on the last day of the SuperConference the MCSC will host a national service stream only program which will include the programs that the MCSC funds and the programs that the CNS state office funds. This would be a network building opportunity for everyone in the national service stream and include a concentrated training component. Mr. Caldwell explained that the MCSC is also hoping to invite gubernatorial candidates to the SuperConference and to have them give us their opinions on the volunteerism issues. Commissioner Engler stated that this is a great opportunity to get them thinking about the MCSC and the service and volunteerism field. Ms. Kaiser armounced that Les Lenk:owsky from the Corporation for National and Community Service has been invited to the SuperConference and to speak on the field of service. Ms. Jocelyn V anda suggested that all state department heads be invited to the SuperConference. 6 �1.

What is Learn and Serve- Michigan? The Learn and Serve-Michigan SB grant program is part of the Learn and Serve America program for school age youth supported by the Corporation for National and Community Service. The Learn and Serve America program funds and assists in the development of high quality service-learning programs in K-12 schools and in community-based organizations. Grants provide funding for servicelearning programs that address local needs in the areas of education, public safety, human needs, and/or the environment. Service-learning is a teaching and learning approach that connects meaningful service to the community with classroom instruction that enriches learning, teaches civic responsibility and fosters personal growth. Service-learning helps youth see beyond the classroom, and into the community where they learn math, science, language arts, and other required subjects by addressing community needs and solving real-life problems. Who are we? The MCSC is the administrative agent for Learn and Serve- Michigan. The MCSC's mission is to enable all citizens, including youth, to engage in public problem solving through service and volunteerism. The MCSC works to fulfill its mission through a number of programs, projects, and activities focused on service and volunteerism. Annually, the MCSC distributes $8.5 million in national service and volunteerism grants and recognizes exemplary volunteers through the Governor's Service Awards and Make a Difference Day. The MDE is Michigan's partner in the Learn and Serve-Michigan SB grant program. MDE believes that Michigan's K-12 education will ensure that all students will develop their potential in order to lead productive and satisfying lives. All students will engage in challenging and purposeful learning that blends their experiences with content knowledge and real-world applications in preparation for their adult roles, which include becoming: literate individuals, healthy and fit people, responsible family members, productive workers, involved citizens, self-directed, lifelong learners. Established in 1993, CNCS engages more than a million Americans each year in service to their communities by providing a way to solve community problems. CNCS works with government appointed state commissions, state education agencies, nonprofits, faith-based groups, schools, and other civic organizations to provide opportunities for Americans of all ages to serve their communities. CNCS's three major service initiatives include AmeriCorps, Learn and Serve America, and the National Senior Service Corps. Why should my school apply for Learn and Serve - Michigan SB funding? If your school currently places a strong emphasis on connecting academic learning to real life problem solving and you see the value of engaging youth in service to their community, then this is an excellent opportunity to establish or expand service-learning in your school district. Service-learning has been shown to enhance students' motivation to learn, increase attendance and reduce dropout rates. �Who is eligible to apply? Local public school districts, intermediate school districts, and public and private school academies are eligible to apply for Learn and Serve - Michigan funds. What are the responsibilities of operating a Learn and Serve-Michigan SB grant? Responsibilities of operating a Learn and Serve Michigan SB program include: • What is the grant amount? The MCSC has approximately $100,000 available to fund high quality Learn and Serve - Michigan SB programs. In order to meet the varying needs of school districts there are two types of grants available: Planning and Implementation. The MCSC funds planning grants, in the amount of $8 000 to school districts who have never received ' ' Learn and Serve - Michigan funding in order to develop a plan to integrate service-learning throughout the district. Implementation grants, in the amount of $20,000, are given to schools to assist in the expansion of quality service-learning practice. What can Learn and Serve - Michigan SB funds support? Learn and Serve-Michigan SB funds can be used to support the expenses associated with integrating service-learning throughout the district. This may include, but is not limited to, advisory board development, teacher in-services, other professional development opportunities, peer exchanges, supplies and materials, and conference attendance.

Match funds may be in-kind or cash and come from federal and nonfederal sources. What are the Learn and Serve - Michigan funding priorities? The MCSC will consider funding schools whose goal is to provide students with sequential servicelearning experiences so that at a minimum all students will have at least one service-learning experience at the elementary, middle school, and high school levels. School districts will also design service-learning programs to address core and noncore curriculum standards.

The survey was of978 Michigan residents and has a 3.1% margin of error. In essence, this survey results reflects J>ost-September 11th statistics. Seventy of the 978 surveys were completed prior to September 11 . The survey was then stopped for approximately two weeks and then continued at the end of September and into October. Make A Difference Day Make A Difference Day (MD Day) is Saturday, October 26, 2002. Upon the recommendation and support of the MDDay partner organizations, the MCSC is making a shift in its promotion of MDDay by going to an all-electronic format.

While following President Bush's activities today at an emergency shelter in Philadelphia where he espoused the merits of the USA Freedom Corps, Russell G. Mawby, chair of the Michigan Community Service Commission, said, "Strengthening communities and addressing local needs through volunteer service is at the heart of our mission. We commend President Bush for his commitment and diligence in creating the Freedom Corps and encourage him to rely on the expertise of state and local organizations during its development." The USA Freedom Corps calls for an unprecedented expansion of volunteer programs, including a new Citizen Corps to support homeland security, an increase in the Peace Corps for overseas service, and an expansion of Senior Corps and AmeriCorps programs. The Michigan Community Service Commission (MCSC) currently funds 26 Michigan's AmeriCorps programs to engage more than 900 individuals (called AmeriCorps members) in community service activities statewide. Last year, a similar number of AmeriCorps members recruited an average of 15 volunteers each to assist them with tutoring and mentoring children; conserving and preserving Michigan's natural resources; teaching parenting skills to teen mothers; engaging children in successful conflict resolution; meeting the needs of the hungry and homeless. The MCSC also provides funding for programs that encourage schoolaged youth to serve their community and provides capacity-building grants for volunteer resource centers. "Societies change one heart, one soul, one conscience at a time," Bush said during a round-table discussion on the merits of community service. The USA Freedom Corps will help focus our nation, our state, and our communities on the role each of us can play to make each Michigan neighborhood a safe and healthy place to live, learn, and grow. ### The Michigan Community Service Commission is a state agency that supports service and vo1unteerism in Michigan. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

The Marketing Plan (attached) covers seven action areas: research, marketing communications, internal communications, legislature relations, nonprofit community relations, media relations, and evaluation of results. The next steps in development of the plan are: 1. Determining the priorities in each action area of the marketing plan. 2. Developing the marketing plan tirneline. This will be a multi-year timetable for implementation, with a detailed timetable and action items for the first year. 3. Developing a detailed budget for the first year of the marketing plan. 4.

AmeriCorps Signature Service Project Update The AmeriCorps Signature Service Project is being held in Muskegon on May 10-11, 2002 . The MCSC is assisting Muskegon's AmeriCorps program as needed with public relations and legislators relations. The Signature Service Project begins with a day of training for the approximately 300 AmeriCorps members from across the state who are participating in the event. On Saturday, May 11th' the AmeriCorps members will be partnering with community volunteers to complete community service projects in the Muskegon area. Press kits have been developed by the staff in Muskegon and have been distributed to key television, radio, and print media.

At the MCSC meeting on April29 1h, a roster of Legislators attending will be distributed to commissiOners. 2 �MICHIGAN * .... ~~ ,.,,... ; ' • A"" '1- -:;""<'• ~ ..,._ ~ COMMUNITY SERVICE COMMISSION MICHIGAN COMMI.H1Y SERVICE COMMISSION Version E �7th Draft: 4/15102 -version 4.3 UPDATED MARKETING PLAN FOR MICHIGAN COMMUNITY SERVICE COMMISSION I. INTRODUCTION The Michigan Community Service Commission (MCSC) recently became aware of its need for a Marketing Plan and communication strategy primarily due to the re-focusing of its work as a grantmaker and the changing political climate. In October 2001 a business coaching firm was retained to coach the MCSC through the process of evaluating its marketing needs and developing a Marketing Plan that clearly defines and incorporates the MCSC's mission and vision. One of the first tasks undertaken was a survey of the staff and commissioners on a variety of topics, from the effectiveness of current marketing efforts to recommendations for the future. There was a consensus between both groups that the MCSC currently gains little recognition for its efforts or the results of its hard work outside of grantees and/or the programs that MCSC administers directly. Neither staff nor commissioners feel they receive adequate information about the results of the agency's marketing efforts. Both groups believe the MCSC could use its resources more wisely to give the commission positive exposure with key targets, such as state legislators. The following Marketing Plan was developed to respond to these findings, input from MCSC senior staff, and renewed federal government emphasis on volunteerism and volunteer programs. Highlights of the Plan include: • Redefinition of the mission and messages of the MCSC in language that is easily understood by target markets, including legislators, grantees, and other state agencies • A strong initial focus on internal communications programs, especially in the training of staff and commissioners in recognition of their role as ambassadors for the MCSC • MCSC staff and commissioners will play an active, ongoing role in the implementation of the marketing plan • Creation of more powerful communications tools to achieve marketing objectives, such as a new logo, internal and external newsletters, an updated media database, and outreach activities to put MCSC commissioners in more frequent contact with legislators and other target markets • Training of grantee organizations in how to portray the MCSC to their constituents and how to attain better media coverage of their events and programs • Development of productive recruiting programs for both grantees and members of select grantee programs, such as AmeriCorps • Establishment of an ongoing evaluation system, to monitor how effective the MCSC is in reaching its marketing goals • Implementation, oversight, and ongoing evaluation of the marketing plan will be the full-time responsibility of an MCSC staff member. 1 �The following Marketing Plan is an overview of a comprehensive, multi-year program with both short and long-term objectives. Please note that recommended actions are followed by the specific Objectives (numbered) and Target Markets (lettered) they address. The final version of the marketing plan will include detailed Budget and Timeline that will include priorities, goals, and a detailed action steps for the first year of the Plan' s implementation. II. OBJECTIVES A majority of the state legislators on the Appropriations Committee understand and support the work oftheMCSC 2. Each MCSC staff member and commissioner understands and can articulate the organization's mission and priorities, and carries out a specific role in the implementation of the marketing plan 3. State and federal legislators and their staffs are familiar with the work of the MCSC and with grantees, award recipients, etc. in their district 4.

BUDGET To be developed based upon priorities - this will include a detailed budget for Year One of the Marketing Plan VII. CONCLUSION The MCSC marketing plan outlined above is a comprehensive, multi-year program and successful implementation relies on the active involvement of MCSC staff and commissioners. The marketing plan is a multi-tiered approach focusing on the following action areas: research, marketing communications, internal communications, legislature relations, nonprofit community relations, and media relations. As a result of this plan, the MCSC will: • Have stronger relationships with Michigan legislators, state departments, media, and nonprofit organizations. • Have staff members and commissioners who serve as ambassadors for MCSC internally and externally. • Be viewed as an expert grantmaker and resource on effective volunteer programs and information. • More effectively assist its grantees with member recruitment and media and legislative relations. • Use consistent language and graphic designs in all brochures, newsletters, news releases, presentations, etc. that clearly defines the mission, role, and operations of the MCSC. The next steps in the development of the marketing plan are outlined below. 1. Determine the priorities in each action area of the marketing plan (research, marketing communications, internal communications, legislature relations, nonprofit community relations, and media relations). 2. Develop the marketing plan timeline. This will be a multi-year timetabl.e for implementation, with a detailed timetable and action items for the first year. 3. Develop a detailed budget for the first year of the marketing plan. 4. Develop an effective system for monitoring the results of the marketing plan based upon the priorities. The implementation of the marketing plan will happen concurently with the continued development of the plan. Identified priorities in each action area of the plan (research, marketing communications, internal communications, legislature relations, nonprofit community relations, and media relations) will be implemented simultaneously. (Note - Conclusion statement will be revised with the further development of the marketing plan.) 6 � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Michigan's AmeriCorps Michigan 's AmeriCorps FY 2002- 03 Application Process In December, the MCSC issued the renewal application guidelines to all of the current programs. The guidelines were discussed on the December program director conference call. The formula renewal applications were due on April5, 2002. The staff is in the process of finalizing the review. The staff recommendations for the formula renewals will be presented at the April 29th commission meeting. They will be emailed to you in advance of the meeting. Hard copies of the staff recommendations will be handed out at the meeting. Michigan Civilian Conservation Corps We were notified in April that the Michigan Civilian Conservation Corps (MCCC) would not be reapplying for the education award AmeriCorps program. MCCC had the opportunity to be part ofthe National Association of Service and Conservation Corps' (NASCC) Education Award AmeriCorps program and have decided to do so. They are facing significant budget cuts and staff reductions and felt it would be less cumbersome to be part ofNASCC' s AmeriCorps program as NASCC can handle much of the administration load .. This loss translates into a reduction of270 AmeriCorps slots (a combination of full- and part-time slots) for the state or 182.5 full-time equivalent (FTE) slots. This will have implications for the state as the MCCC AmeriCorps program helped to reduce the overall full-time equivalent cost per member for the state. We are required to have an average FTE cost of $12,300 or less for the current program MCSC 's Program Division Report -April 15, 2002 �year and $12,400 for FY 2003. Currently, our FTE rate is $8,961 (this figure includes the MCCC program). The FTE rate for the state without the MCCC program is $11,865. We are reevaluating the grantees' 2003 proposed budgets to ensure that we will be able to meet the $12,400 requirement. Michigan 's AmeriCorps Signature Project It is time for our annual Michigan's AmeriCorps Signature Service Project. This year we will be partnering with the Volunteer Muskegon AmeriCorps program and several community organizations for the project. The Signature Project will take place on May 10 - 11, 2002. We have nearly 400 AmeriCorps members registered to participate in the event. The members will gather on May lOth at Grand Valley State University for a day of training and community orientation.

Any prosperous person, organization, or nation must be able to find ways to overcome tragedy with triumph . As AmeriCorps members, we see such victories everyday, in the people we serve, and within ourselves. In response to the disasters in 2001, our nation ' s leaders immediately began to search for sources of strength within our borders. It didn ' t take them long to recognize that AmeriCorps programs throughout the country have become just that. The individual work we do, even if with just one person at a time, is making a difference and improving the lives of people throughout Our work as AmeriCorps members is an example of what makes the greatness of our nation unparalleled . In our President' s January 29 111 State of the U nion address, he specifically acknowledged AmeriCorps ' significance. In a call to all Americans to serve th eir nation, plans were announced to expand AmeriCorps and similar national programs to 200,000 members. An important factor to note in the President's support of AmeriCorps is that both Democrats and Republicans are behind such measures. With the future of AmeriCorps no longer a partisan issue, the question we are asking ourselves now is not " How long will AmeriCorps last," but " How much can AmeriCorps do?'' As members today, it is up to us to show that what we can do for • Future ofAmeriCorp s the nation tomorrow has no • Individual Program limits. The focus of theReadingCorps is to improve the literacy of children in Ionia County. However, they also get involved with community service projects. In December, they worked with the Ionia County FIA to make Christmas a little brighter for some area children . The program allowed children in need to go "Christmas shopping" free of charge. FIA had a room in their facility organized with a variety of gifts for the whole family. Each participating child was able to choose one Christmas present for each member of his or her immediate family. ReadingCorps members assisted with children in choosing their gifts, and also helped with the gift wrapping . When their shopping was complete, each child visited Santa, and received a special gift. The ReadingCorps and other dedicated volunteers spent five hours taking children through the "store." Last year there were less than 300 children who participated . This year people had to be sent away after 400 numbers were given out. It was an especially sad economic indicator.

Groundwater also recharges our surface waters, which are used for drinking, as well as habitat for fish and other creatures in rivers, streams and lakes. Preventing groundwater contamination is necessary to sustain our health and quality of life here in the Great Lakes State. This explains why the Michigan Groundwater Stewardship Program (MGSP) is important. The MGSP employs AmeriCorps members all over the state from Marquette to Detroit, in big cities and small villages. The AmeriCorps members help individuals identify and reduce groundwater contamination risks associated with daily activities in and around their home. Activities that may cause drinking water contamination include: over application of lawn and garden chemicals, improper disposal of hazardous household chemicals, improperly maintained septic systems, and improper disposal and handling of liquid fuels. .. Through public education and awareness the MGSP AmeriCorps is helping individuals protect groundwater and safeguard the state's fresh water resource.

Salas Program Development Coordinator Jeanine Yard Program Development Coordinator �Transforming Vision Into Action: Policy and Leadership for ServiceLearning Sustainability This year, join your colleagues from across the state, June 17-19 at the Sheraton Hotel in Lansing, Michigan, as we engage in thought-provoking dialogues and strategic planning around policy and leadership in service-learning. Background: What is the Transforming Vision Into Action: Policy and Leadership for Service-Learning Sustainability Symposium? In 2001 , states from around the country were convened to discuss strategies and challenges in developing policy and improving leadership for service-learning. The event was designed so that teams from each state could envision and develop sound action plans for sustaining the practice of service-learning in their states. A part of Michigan' s strategy was to assist local districts in taking similar steps. This symposium offers local districts the opportunity to bring teams of up to five individuals to develop their own strategies. Who Should Attend? Service-Learning coordinators from across the state are invited to attend along with four key leaders of their choice. Teams might include teachers, building administrators, curriculum directors, parents, students, community partners or others committed to the program. Consider who in your district can be most effective in expanding the reach of service-learning within the next 18-36 months . How Will Teams Benefit? Local teams will have ample opportunity to develop specialized and specific plans for building service-learning practices that last. You will meet new colleagues and old friends . You will build relationships both with people from other districts and within your own, establishing a network for the work you do. Along the way, you'll have opportunities to learn more about service-learning, as well as the ins and outs ofpolicymaking, funding, marketing, and networking. You will hear from others about ways you can influence other education leaders to help you advance service-learning and your team will craft a vision for the future and a specific plan to achieve that vision. What are the Participant Costs? Symposium Fees are underwritten by the Michigan Community Service Commission through a Corporation for National and Community Service grant from the Michigan Department of Education. The symposium is open to any district but priority will be given to Learn and Serve Michigan School-Based programs. Please contact Angelia Salas or Jeanine Yard to inquire about costs for non-grantee schools. All teams are responsible for the costs of their travel, dinners, incidentals and leisure costs. Double occupancy lodging will be provided. �What Should We Do Before Our Team Arrives? Upon confirmation, teams will receive Service-Learning and School Improvement Self Assessment surveys for each team member to complete. The surveys are brief, but will help you develop a common understanding of your districts' assets and challenges in supporting servicelearning. Additionally, make sure your team members have a basic knowledge of servicelearning and a willingness to engage in discussions of policy and leadership. Team surveys will be mailed to you May 13, 2002. How Do We Register? Determine interested team members. You may bring a team of up to five free of charge; they will be responsible only for travel costs, dinners and any incidental and leisure expenses.

The staff reviewed those guidelines with the programs on the December program director conference call. Formula renewal applications were due to MCSC by AprilS, 2002. The MCSC conducted a staff review of all applications. Applicants were provided written feedback that included any necessary revisions. All revisions are due to MCSC by May 3, 2002. The staff will review all of the revisions to ensure all issues are addressed. Assuming all identified issues are addressed, the staff makes the following recommendations: Please note that the average federal cost per full-time equivalent (FTE) AmeriCorps member may not exceed $12,400. Therefore, for programs that requested funds that exceeded the $12,400 figure were asked to revise their budget. If a program is in its first three years of operation, they were asked to reduce the FTE cost to $12, 600. All other programs are expected to be at the $12,4 00 figure. . �Renewal Applicants 1) The staffrecommends renewal funding at the recommended amount for the following applicant: Legal Applicant Funding Requested Funding Recommend Branch Intermediate School District Camp Fire Boys and Girls West Michigan Council Creston Neighborhood Association The Guidance Center Habitat for Humanity Michigan Ionia Intermediate School District Marquette-Alger Regional Education Services Agency Michigan Institute for Nonviolence Education SOS Crisis Center Underground Railroad $131,302 $126,000 10 # of #of #of Reduce Quarter Min Time Time HT 0 0 0 0 $187,540 $176,400 12 4 0 0 0 $146,662 $146,662 12 0 0 0 0 $261,593 $252,000 14 4 0 12 5 $402,807 $402,807 21 15 0 16 0 $155,969 $151,200 12 0 0 0 0 $192,200 $192,200 13 5 0 0 0 $649,875 $644,800 52 0 0 0 0 $120,455 $120,455 6 8 0 0 0 $186,000 $186,000 14 2 0 0 0 #of FT #of HT �VFW National Home for Children Volunteer Muskegon Wayne Metropolitan Community Service Agency Young Detroit Builders Total $127,752 $126,000 6 4 0 4 5 $186,538 $186,538 13 2 0 0 6 $128,360 $126,000 6 7 0 0 3 $173,602 $173,602 13 2 0 0 0 $3,050,655 $3,010,664 204 53 0 32 19 � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

I apologize for doing so just before the retreat, but once again obligations that I have to clients have intruded on the September lih date for the MCSC meeting. It seems this happens too often and I cannot fulfill my obligations to the Commission as I think I should. I have appreciated working with you. You are an able administrator and as I think about you, I wish we had had more time to serve in the same organization together. Though I regret resigning, I am convinced it is the best thing for the Commission and for me. ~:: Arend D. Lubbers President Emeritus adb 2002 0 I d3S Eberhard Cen er • 301 W.

Pete Hoekstra �1111 Corporation for Nationa,l W and Community Service Legislation Pending in Congress Summary of HR 4854 - Citizen Service Act of 2002 Highlights of the Bill As Ordered Reported by the House Committee on Education and the Workforce on June 12, 2002 (Prepared by the Corporation for National and Community Service) Background and Principles HR 4854, the Citizen Service Act of 2002, was ordered reported by the House Education and the Workforce Committee on June 12, 2002. The bill, which amends the National and Community Service Act of 1990 (NCSA) and the Domestic Volunteer Service Act of 1973 (DVSA), would reauthorize for 5 years the programs administered by the Corporation for National and Community Service ("The Corporation"). These programs are: • • • Senior Corps, which includes 500,000 seniors serving as: Foster Grandparents who mentor at risk youth, Senior Companions who assist the frail elderly, and members of RSVP, the Retired and Senior Volunteer Program, which provides a wide variety of community services; AmeriCorps, which enables 50,000 (mostly young) Americans to devote one or two years of service to their communities by providing a very modest living allowance during their term of service, and an education award at the conclusion of service; and Learn & Serve America, which brings together learning in the classroom and service to the community, for 1.5 million students of all ages. H.R. 4854, in large part, responds to the President's Call to Service. In his State of the Union Address on January 29th of this year, the President called on all Americans to give at least two years- or 4000 hours - of service to their communities and nation over the course of their lives. On April 9, 2002 the President elaborated on this Call to Service by setting forth Principles and Reforms for a Citizen Service Act. �In the Principles, the President stated: "Americans have always believed in an ethic of service and civic responsibility that includes helping those in need and promoting the common good. Since September 11, Americans have demonstrated their true character in unity, generosity, patriotism, and civic pride ...Today, Americans serve in their neighborhoods and communities in countless, extraordinary ways. While most of our Nation's civic work is being done without the aid of government, the Federal Government can do a much better job in helping support and encourage a culture of community service and civic responsibility." In order to support and encourage community service, the Principles set forth four objectives for the Citizen Service Act. HR 4854 fulfills those objectives in the following ways: 1. Support and encourage greater engagement of citizens in volunteering. HR 4854 would increase the quantity and quality of service opportunities for Americans by: generating more volunteers for each government dollar spent by making volunteer mobilization an explicit criterion for grants to service organizations; lowering the age of eligibility for all Senior Corps programs to age 55; raising the income eligibility threshold for participation in Foster Grandparents and Senior Companions; authorizing a new Senior Scholarship as an incentive for more seniors to serve in communities; testing a pilot program that would allow individuals more choice in where they volunteer; expanding flexibility in the use of funds to increase participation by individuals with disabilities; increasing discretion to consolidate and target Learn and Serve funds to quality programs; and setting higher authorized funding levels for Senior Corps, AmeriCorps, and Learn & Serve America. 2. Make Federal funds more responsive to state and local needs. HR 4854 would increase the proportion of AmeriCorps funds allocated to local programs by State Service Commissions rather than by national competition; permit AmeriCorps members to work with community organizations on capacity-building activities such as recruiting and utilizing additional volunteers; increase the minimum funds available to State Commissions; provide greater flexibility in the use of service-learning funds by state education agencies; and reduce administrative burdens. 3. Make Federal support more accountable and effective. Under HR 4854, the CEO of the Corporation would be required to work with grantees to establish performance measures; require corrective plans for those not meeting the goals; and reduce or terminate grants if corrections are not made. �4. Provide greater assistance to community organizations, both secular and faith-based. Since AmeriCorps' inception in 1993, about 15% of AmeriCorps members have worked with faith-based organizations in their secular, community-oriented activities. (VISTA, which is now a part of AmeriCorps, has worked with faith-based organizations since the 1970s.) HR 4854 would further the participation of community and faithbased organizations by: providing greater flexibility in the selection, placement and terms of service for VISTA members; allowing, on a pilot basis, individuals to choose organizations they wish to serve with; and providing additional incentives for seniors to serve in such organizations. HR 4854: Background; Program-by-Program Summary Senior Corps (authorized by the DVSA) Background: The Senior Corps provides opportunities for approximately 500,000 older Americans to serve their communities. Senior Corps is comprised of three major programs: the Retired and Senior Volunteer Program (RSVP) ; the Foster Grandparent Program; and the Senior Companion Program. The Corporation makes grants to nonprofit organizations and public entities to support these programs. • • RSVP matches older Americans who are willing to help with local problems in their communities. RSVP volunteers provide a wide range of important services, such as tutoring youth, responding to natural disasters, serving as citizen patrols for local police departments, teaching parenting skills to teen parents, getting children immunized, and mentoring troubled youth. RSVP volunteers serve without stipend for an average of four hours per week. Foster Grandparents provide valuable assistance to children with exceptional needs. Foster Grandparents serve in schools, hospitals, drug treatment centers, correctional institutions, Head Start and day care centers. Foster Grandparents help abused and neglected children, mentor troubled teenagers and young mothers, and care for premature infants and children with disabilities. �• Senior Companions provide comfort to frail, homebound individuals- most of them elderly- to help them retain their dignity and independence. In both the Foster Grandparents and Senior Companions programs, participants are low-income seniors who serve 20 hours per week, and receive a modest stipend of $2.65 per hour. RSVP volunteers receive ·no allowance and may select their hours. H.R. 4854 would make the following changes in Senior Corps: • • • Lower the age for eligibility to participate in the Foster Grandparent and Senior Companion programs from 60 to 55 (RSVP is already at 55). Raise the income eligibility guidelines under the Foster Grandparent and Senior Companion programs from 125% to 200% of poverty (125% of poverty for a single person is $11 ,075; 200% is $17,720). Where local programs are unable to fill available stipended slots, up to 15% of the individuals enrolled in a local program may be above 200% of poverty. Further, the prohibition on using federal funds to manage, train, and support over-income volunteers who want to participate in the program without receiving a stipend is removed. Seniors may self-certify income levels. Increase Authorization of Appropriations for Senior Corps programs for FY 2003 as follows: increase RSVP from $55m to $59m; increase Foster Grandparents from $107m to $11Om; increase Senior Companions from $44.4m to $46.6m. H.R. 4854 would establish the following new senior service program: • Authorize a senior service scholarship of $1000 for seniors who serve 500 hours in their communities in a year in tutoring and mentoring activities, as well as activities that meet a wide variety of community needs. Grants to support operations may not exceed $600 per senior AmeriCorps (authorized by the NCSA, except for VISTA which is authorized by the DVSA) Background: There are three main components to AmeriCorps: (1) AmeriCorps*State and National provides grants to states and national organizations to support members in local nonprofit organizations across the country; (2) AmeriCorps*VISTA members focus their activities on supporting community- and faith-based organizations in meeting the needs of low-income communities; and ' . �(3) AmeriCorps*National Civilian Community Corps (NCCC) members (ages 18-24) complete a ten-month , full-time residential service program for men and women that combines the best practices of civilian service with the best aspects of military service, including leadership and team building. Most AmeriCorps members are selected by, and serve with , projects in their communities such as Habitat for Humanity, Neighborhood Watch organizations, the American Red Cross, Boys and Girls Clubs, and local community- and faith-based organizations. State service commissions, appointed by the Nation's governors, allocate resources to these organizations within their respecti ve states. Other grants are made to service organizations at the national level. After their term of service, AmeriCorps members receive education awards to defray college expenses or pay back student loans. Slightly more than one-half of the individuals in these programs serve full-time and receive a living allowance, generally at the poverty level, in order to be able to serve (in addition to the education award). The other one-half serve part-time; they generally do not receive any living allowance but do receive the education award at the end of their service. H.R. 4854 would make the following changes in AmeriCorps programs: • • • • • • Adjust the allocation of funding in the AmeriCorps grant program as follows: 45% for grants to states on a formula basis (up from 33%); at least 35% for state competitive grants; and up to 20% for grants to national organizations. (The new allocations would phase in , under a formula , as overall appropriations increase. During the phase-in, the level of state competitive grants would not decrease below the current level.) Increase from $4,725 to $5,250 the amount of a full-time education award. Establish that an AmeriCorps member may receive the equivalent of two full-time education awards. Authorize the education award to be disbursed directly to individuals with disabilities to pay for education, training, or other work-related activities. Provide that the education award may be used for educational expenses at title IV institutions of higher education as well as to pay for attendance at educational institutions that meet the requirements of the Montgomery Gl Bill. Establish a floor on formula grants to states of $500,000. �• • • • • • • • • • • • Include requirements to contain costs by capping grant costs per individual member. (Cost containment is also achieved through current law provisions that authorize education-awardonly programs, and part-time Ameri Corps members.) Authorize grants for the purpose of technology programs in the classroom, in after-school programs, and in neighborhood centers (E-Corps). Authorize grants for qualified participants to be trainees as law . enforcement officers, firefighters and rescue personnel. Authorize grants for the purpose of homeland security that engages citizens in public safety, public health, disaster relief and preparedness. Authorize the CEO of the Corporation to reserve funds to support pilot programs, such as member-based service positions that allow participants to select community service activities, thereby increasing and diversifying opportunities for service. Authorize AmeriCorps members to engage in capacity-building activities including recruiting and managing volunteers. Increasing the involvement of volunteers would be an explicit criterion in making awards under AmeriCorps as well as other national service programs. Transfer authority for the "education award program," originally carried out under a demonstration authority, to subtitle C of the statute-making it an ongoing program of AmeriCorps-with a maximum grant for operational support of $600 per member. Set various requirements related to AmeriCorps tutoring programs, including a requirement that AmeriCorps tutors must have high school diplomas or an equivalent. Modify grants to operate state comm issions, including: increasing the minimum from $125,000 to $200,000; increasing the maximum grant from $750,000 to $1 million; placing the matching requirements on a sliding scale; and modifying the requirements related to the preparation of a national and community service plan for each state to include approval by the CEO, measurable goals and outcomes, and identification of administrative requirements that may be waived by the Corporation in order to facilitate a state's ability to carry out the plan. Requires literacy programs to be based on scientifically based reading research and ensures that programs provide instruction based on the essential components of reading instruction as defined in P.L. 107-110, the No Child Left Behind Act. Requires the Corporation to establish requirements relating to the promotion of citizenship and civic engagement. Ensures that program participants who receive a living allowance do not displace unpaid volunteers. �• Increase Authorization of Appropriations for AmeriCorps grants for FY 2003 from $240m to $315m . AmeriCorps*National Civilian Community Corps (NCCC) NCCC is a residential program for ages 18-24, that is based on a military model, and sends members in teams to help nonprofit groups provide disaster relief, build homes for /ow-income families, meet growing homeland security needs, and protect the environment. • • • • • Set a minimum of 18 years of age as the requirement for participation, except for summer programs. Authorize, for those enrolled in summer programs while in high school, a $1,000 scholarship for post-secondary education. Provides for the use of NCCC members with prior supervisory experience as Team Leaders and allows them to receive a higher (1 0%) living allowance. Increase authorization of appropriations for NCCC FY 2003 from $25m to $30m. Authorize grants to support emergency response corps, including non-NCCC residential programs, that would respond to natural and other disasters. AmeriCorps*VISTA (Volunteers in Service to America) (authorized by the DVSA) • • • • • Maintain VISTA's unique role in national service related to fighting poverty. Retain current law providing VISTAs with federal employee status for retirement and workers compensation. Increase flexibility in operational programming authority for issues such as placement of participants, resolution of participant complaints, and funding of community service projects. Phase in over 4 years changes to the current law "24/7'' requirement that would allow participants greater flexibility in their work schedule including the ability to use off-hours to take classes or engage in part-time employment to supplement their living allowance. Increase Authorization of Appropriations for AmeriCorps*VISTA for FY 2003 from $85m to $90m. �Learn and Serve America( authorized by the NCSA) Background: The goal of the Learn and Serve America programs is to make service an integral part of the education of all young people and instill a lifelong ethic of civic engagement and service. All Learn and Serve America programs-for K-12 and higher education-integrate community service with academic curricula or with extracurricular learning opportunities. Students who participate in these programs demonstrate increased civic and social responsibility and higher academic achievement. In addition, Learn and Serve America programs encourage and foster beneficial collaboration among schools, community-based organizations, institutions of higher education, and others, to meet community needs and to strengthen the fabric of local communities. H.R. 4854 would make the following changes in Learn and Serve America: • • • • • Increase the total authorization levels for service-learning programs as follows: FY 2003 -$55 million; FY 2004- $58 million; FY 2005- $61 million; FY 2006- $65 million; and FY 2007 - such sums as necessary. (Learn and Serve received $43 million in appropriations in FY 2002.) Allocate the funds as follows: not more than 50% for schoolbased formula programs, not more than 25% for higher education, and not less than 25% for competitive grants at the federal level to improve the quality of school-based programs, community-based programs, and research and demonstration, including training. Continue authority for formula grants to state education agencies (SEAs), which would be given greater flexibility in use of funds and the ability to support a wider variety of eligible applicants. Authorize competitive grants at the federal level for high quality school-based, community-based, and demonstration programs, including training. Continue grants to support higher education. Higher education institutions applying for funding would have to demonstrate compliance with the community service requirements established for the Federal Work Study program under the Higher Education Act. �America's Service . . Commissions Am.:ricun .A!iwciatiuo . . of Start Scrvkc C<~mm issions December 19, 2001 To: State Commissions and Staff From: ASC Policy Committee Subj: Reauthorization statement and proposals The nation' s state service commissions, through the American Association of State Service Commissions (AS C), wish to demonstrate their support for reauthorization of the National and Community Service Trust Act of 1992. Since its passage, America has witnessed a rebirth of our civic values, the power of individual action for the common good, benefits of building communities through national service, and the utility of local programs in addressing national and community priorities. National priorities have again shifted to address a national crisis--our public health and safety. National service programs and participants all across America stand ready to serve. Congress and the President have the opportunity to demonstrate their support for local empowerment and civic action through this reauthorization process. Just renewing the current system and structure for national service, however, will not provide a sustainable or effective community problem solving mechanism. The current legislation and national service system have serious flaws that deserve to be addressed if we are to meet our nation's needs. ASC has undertaken an extensive outreach process that has produced a number of recommendations for policy makers to consider. It will be imperative for members of Congress and the President to adopt these recommendations if national service and public support for volunteerism are to be effective and meaningful. ASC's membership, the approximately 1200 individuals who serve as commissioners and staff in 53 Commissions and thousands of national service participants join the National Governor's Association and its members in calling for reauthorizing the National and Community Service Trust Act of 1992. We stand ready to help all champions of volunteerism maintain and expand this great work. �ASC Recommended changes to the National Service Community Trust Act December 2001 • The funding process should be substantially simplified to encourage a com_prehensive state funding strategy that includes all "streams of service." States should be given discretion to allocate funds by state with the consensus of all streams of service. Currently there is insufficient strategic budgetary planning among the different streams of service at the state level. State Commissions, Corporation state offices, Sr. Corps, Learn & Serve, and other service providers which distribute federal funds are in the best position to know the service needs and opportunities in their respective states, and they should develop a plan that most effectively and efficiently utilizes those funds to meet the identified needs. No funds should be distributed without a comprehensive plan, developed by consensus agreement. The plan should be used to measure success and determine funding allocations. • Funds for training and development should be allocated to state service entities in toto with the understanding that all partners (commissions, corporation state offices, Leam&Serve, Sr. Corps) arrive at a mutually agreed upon budget and outcomes within a specified period or loose the funds (formula equals number of national service participants in the state.) The current system of multiple training programs is neither effective nor cost efficient. Some partners are required to send individuals out of state for training that could be done within the state more efficiently. The providers in the states should be responsible for developing their own training programs to meet their specific needs rather than having training and content mandated by entities outside the state. • Training funds for all state service partners should be allocated and based as a percentage of the total service dollars awarded to states. Currently, PDAT funds are not allocated to states based on the total amount of national service activities operating in that state. As it stands each service stream has some limited amount of training funds . This proposed change would make the training funds allocated to states proportional to the number of individuals �serving in programs in that state and not on a formula based only on state population. • Administrative funding should be awarded as a percentage of all federal national service dollars allocated in a state. Currently the amount of administrative funding is based on state population. Many costs associated with programs are fixed and independent of the state population. This change would index administrative funds allocated to a state based on federal program funds to assure adequate administrative capacity. • Give more latitude to states regarding the cash match requirements for AmeriCorps funds. Currently, there are tight restrictions on the types offunding that can be used for match. This change would enable AmeriCorps projects to utilize a wider range of funds including other federal funds . • AmeriCorps stipends and education award funds should not be subject to tax. Currently, both the stipend and education award are subject federal income tax. This change would exempt the education award and stipend from being subject to federal income tax in keeping with the original intent of the law. The following statutory issues pertain to certain inequities across the streams of service that deserve to be addressed to create greater continuity. • Disability funds should be available for all CNCS program recipients, not just to national direct and national competitive recipients. Currently, AmeriCorps formula programs are not eligible to utilize disability funds received by a state commission. This change would enable all programs to utilize disability funds to provide equal access for all members. • Provide the same HHS benefits to all AmeriCorps members that are currently only being provided to VISTA. �Currently, members who serve in VISTA can serve without losing their SSI or other HHS benefits. This change would enable all who serve to do so without fear of losing SSJ and other HHS benefits. • Replace current restrictive grievance processes with individual programmatic grievance procedures with the fmal determinations to be made at the local U!vel. Currently, the appeal process for members who have a grievance is lengthy, cumbersome and costly. This change brings a swifter remedy to grievances by allowing the final determination to be made at the local level. �• Individuals participating m national serv1ce programs, whether or not they are rece1vmg a living allowance, should not be considered employees and instead be considered volunteers in the agencies/organizations in which they serve in keeping with the original intent of the law. Currently, some entities are classifying members as organization employees. This is contrary to the intent of national service. This change would classify all members in national service as volunteers whether or not they receive a stipend. In addition, the following recommendations with respect to education awards are perceived as minimal requirements needed to help state service entities operate at desired levels of efficiency. • Education awards should be indexed to account for inflation. The current education award has remained at the same level since the original act was passed even as education costs have risen. This change would annually adjust the education award based on the consumer price index or other relevant instrument. • Member eligibility for education award funds should be applied to a maximum value of the award, and not to the "two-term" limit. Currently, members are limited to serving two terms of service regardless of the length of each term. Members who serve part-time terms should have the opportunity to serve the maximum number of hours allowed. This change would enable members to serve additional terms until they reach 3,400 hours or more, which would enable them to access two full-time education awards. • Education awards should be leveraged to support students participating in Presidential Student Service Awards, Learn & Serve programs, and other programs targeted at encouraging middle or high school-age youth to serve. Currently, students who participate in these types of programs are not eligible to receive education awards. This change would open the opportunity for secondary school students to begin earning education awards for their service activities. �• Education awards should be transferable from the recipient to any person the recipient designates.

As announced by the President in his State of the Union address, the Corporation and its programs are participants in the USA Freedom Corps, which will work with local officials and community groups to offer expanded service opportunities for Americans at home and abroad. The President has called for every citizen to perform some form of service to the nation for at least two years of his or her life. That service could be military or nonmilitary; it could meet large national purposes or local community needs; it can be domestic or international; and it could be done over an uninterrupted period or by accumulating service hours over many years. The Corporation's 2003 budget includes the following proposals. Enhanced service opportunities through an improved AmeriCorps. The President proposes to provide community-based service opportunities through the AmeriCorps program, which has a current enrollment of50,000, by an additional25 ,000 members (+50 percent) in FY 2003. In turn, these members will leverage an additional 75,000 volunteers by using the AmeriCorps members to help recruit and manage volunteers for nonprofit organizations. AmeriCorps members will support homeland defense activities, including public safety, public health, and emergency preparedness. The budget for AmeriCorps includes: expanding grants to state commissions appointed by governors by $13 9 million; providing $10 million for the first-time use of challenge grants to support the expansion of teaching and other national service programs through private matching funds; increasing funds for national nonprofit organizations by $24 million; focusing AmeriCorps*VIST A resources on community and faith-based organizations, including an additional 500 members for this purpose; adding 500 members in residential programs (National Civilian Community Corps) focused on homeland security activities; and support for up to 10,000 seniors to earn a scholarship that can be given to a grandchild or other designated individual for future education. As announced in the blueprint issued by the White House on January 30, entitled USA Freedom Corps, the Administration will propose legislation, the Citizen Service Act of 2002, that will make a number of changes to AmeriCorps that are intended to strengthen the role of states and communities and achieve greater accountability. Resource mobilization will become a fundamental purpose, seniors will be able to earn scholarships to give to their grandchildren, taxation of the education award will end, and other improvements will be proposed. Support for additiona/100,000 seniors in 2003 and strengthened senior service programs. The 2003 budget will propose expanding senior service opportunities by more than 100,000. These individuals will help meet homeland security needs and provide a wide range of important services in communities such as tutoring youth, teaching parenting skills to teen parents, mentoring troubled youth, providing in-home respite care with the frail elderly, and providing support services to youth ex-offenders. �The budget for 2003 includes: a) $50 million increase under Special Volunteer Programs to mobilize an additional 100,000 seniors in service to their communities; b) an additional $6.2 million for existing programs as part of a five-year plan and commitment made by the President to reach a budget of $250 million for those programs; and c) under AmeriCorps, funds for up to 10,000 seniors to serve 900 hours over a 1-2 year period and earn an award of $2,362.50 that can be used by the senior for education or given to a grandchild or other designated individual as a scholarship for future education. In addition, as part ofthe Citizen Service Act of2003, the Bush Administration will propose a series of changes to strengthen opportunities for senior service, including: lowering the age for participation from 60 to 55 in all programs; introducing new incentives for participation by seniors in AmeriCorps, including earning scholarships through service that may be transferred to grandchildren or another designated individual, expanding training; authorizing new research; providing greater flexibility to local communities; and reducing the administrative burden placed on projects. Supporting and enhancing service opportunities at the elementary, secondary, and postsecondary levels. The budget will provide support for more than 1.5 million students to participate in service-learning at the elementary, high school, and college levels. Students and schools across the country can show their commitment to the President's call for two years -- or 4,000 hours -- of service over a lifetime by participating in servicelearning programs. The President has included in his proposals working with the Congress to require every college and university to devote 50 percent of its Federal Work Study funds to community service, commonly known as Serve Study. In any given year, at least five percent of the students will be expected to work in homeland security activities. Carrying out other activities in support of service and volunteerism. The 2003 budget includes: a) $5 million for a new Parent Drug Corps to support more than 10,000 parent volunteers in efforts to reduce drug abuse and form parent drug prevention groups in communities across the country; b) administrative funds to support program expansion and carry out the Administration's management reforms and improvements, particularly in financial and grants management; and c) evaluation and research funds to assess performance and identify best practices; and d) funds for the Points of Light Foundation and America's Promise: The Alliance for Youth to support their efforts in promoting service to communities. Finally, the 2003 budget eliminates certain earmarks enacted by the Congress in 2002.
