State schools seek
to build citizens
Volunteering seen as good

the community.

LANSING - Michigan ofncials
are sea.rching for ways to get kids
more involved in their communities.
Armed with research that says students who volunteer show more
interest in acadelnics and earn better
grades, there's a renewed interest in
tying the classroom to the real world.
It's called service learning, and
some think it's tbe answer to a multi-
tude of social problems, inclwling
concerns that students aren't learn·
ing enough about civics.
''One of tbe principal reasons ·of
public schools is to build good citizens," said state Rep. Doug Hart. R·
Rockfonl. "How can we encourage
schools to do that?"
Hart is chair of tbe House

holding a series of bearings across

RE:
MCSC Outreach Committee Report
Due to scheduling issues, the Outreach Committee met via email this quarter. In addition,
Commissioners Pickard, O'Day, Pardoe, and Bensen met with Mary Grill and/or Kyle Caldwell
to discuss Outreach activities.
Govern or's Service Awards
The focus of the Outreach Committee this quarter has been the 2004 Governor's Service Awards
(GSA). Beginning with discussion at the Commissioner Retreat in September and continuing
throughout the quarter a tremendous amount of progress has been made.
With the commitment of Governor Granholm and First Gentleman Mulhern to host the
recognition reception dinner, the Governor' s Service Awards will be the most prestigious
statewide award event for Michigan's volunteers. The event is being held in Grand Rapids on
Monday, May 24, 2004 in conjunction with the Volunteerism SuperConference.
Based on feedback from the Outreach Committee, MCSC staff, and other partners, we have
decided to honor five finalists (including the award winner) in six categories. The award winners
and finalists will be selected by an objective peer review panel as they have been in the past.
The 2004 categories are:
•
Governor George Romney Lifetime Achievement Award
•
•
•
•
•
Outstanding Mentor Award
Outstanding Corporate Citizenship Award
Exemplary Community Service Program Award
Exemplary Volunteer Service Award
Youth Volunteer Award ofExcellence
�New in 2004, the Governor's Volunteer Service Honor Roll will also be announced at the GSA
dinner. The Honor Roll members are GSA nominees that provide outstanding volunteer service,
yet were not identifield as an award winner or finalist. The peer review panel will also select
approximately 15-30 Honor Roll members.
GSA Sponsors. It is goal of the Outreach Committee to have a $10,000 corporate sponsor for
each of the six GSA categories. We are extremely pleased to announce that General Motors has
made a $10,000 lead gift by sponsoring the George W. Romney Lifetime Achievement Award.
Our sincere thanks to Commissioner Pickard for her and GM's commitment to Michigan's
volunteers.
In addition to securing the lead gift, Commissioner Pickard has agreed to chair the remaining
fund raising efforts. With her leadership, the Outreach Committee and other MCSC
Commissioners will be securing the additional sponsors over the next few months.
GSA Nomination Form. The GSA Nomination Form is currently at press and all Commissioners
will receive copies at the meeting on the 15 1h. The nomination form will be distributed in the
following ways:
•
A hard copy of the nomination form will be mailed to 5,000+ individuals and
organizations throughout the state utilizing the MCSC database and partner organization
databases (such as the Michigan Nonprofit Association).
•
An electronic version of the nomination form and additional GSA details will be
available on the MCSC web site at www.michigan.gov/mcsc. Electronic versions will be
distributed through:
o MCSC-News listserv
o Mentor Michigan listserv
o MCSC grantee listservs
o Partner organizations (such as Council ofMichigan Foundations and Volunteer
Centers ofMichigan.
•
The State ofMichigan web site's home page (www.michigan.gov) will carry a GSA
announcement with a link to the MCSC web site during December or early January.
•
A news release will be sent via PR Newswire
GSA Nomination Deadline. Nomination forms must be postmarked by Tuesday,
February 17, 2004.
Next Meeting
The next Outreach Committee meeting is tentatively scheduled for Wednesday, January 14, 2003
at 11:00 a.m. The meeting will be held via conference call. Confirmation regarding the date and
time of the meeting will be sent shortly.

Service learning is a teaching/learning strategy that integrates service to the community
and volunteerism into the core academic curriculum in a way that helps students make
real-world connections between their academic studies and solving community
problems. Service learning gives students answers.

Today, approximately one-third of public elementary and secondary schools use service
learning in their educational programs nationally. Service learning is currently
improving schools.
Organizations that advocate for service learning standards have worked tirelessly to
organize lessons that support the key role of public education in our democracy, the
preparation of knowledgeable leaders, and supporting future citizen participation in
society for the common good.
Service Learning is in keeping with State Board of Education policies on Character,
Family Involvement, Safe Schools, Effective Learning Environments, Prevention of
Bullying, and Encouraging Tolerance in Public Schools.

POLICIES
We believe that Service Learning is a valuable tool that address the long term goals of
quality student academic achievement, workforce readiness, safe and secure learning
environments, and a strengthened democracy and civil society. Therefore, it is the
policy of the State Board of Education to encourage public schools to integrate service
learning components into the classroom learning environment.
We accept that service learning lesson planning and integration into the classroom
learning environment is an effort worthy of further replication, adoption and study.
Teacher-tested, standards-based lessons and resources can provide high quality,
student- friendly academic units of study directly aligned with the Michigan Curriculum
Framework. Therefore, it is the policy of the State Board of Education that public
schools research and utilize service learning as a powerful teaching method that can
help to make learning exciting, meaningful, relevant, and lasting for all students.

COMMUNITY
SERVICE
COMMISSION
~-·...
·..-.-=·
Every one of us wants our children to grow into skilled, aware, and responsible adults.
Through service-learning, young people take what they learn and put it into action in the
community.
..
Service-learning is a teaching method that combines meaningful service to the community with
classroom learning. It is more than community service-it is a hands-on approach to
mastering subject material while fostering civic responsibility. Service-learning activities meet
a need identified by a community organization, have a direct tie to curriculum objectives, and
offer structured opportunities to help students understand how their service ties to learning.
Service-learning is not only used by classroom teachers but also by professionals working with
young people during after school hours. While many after school programs have curriculums,
service-learning can also take place in settings without a set curriculum. When youth are given
opportunities to plan, implement, evaluate, and reflect upon how their service activities result
in learning for them, the result is service-learning.
The Michigan Community Service Commission (MCSC) actively promotes and supports servicelearning throughout the state. There are grant opportunities and other resources available for
those who are currently using service-learning and for those who are interested in getting
service-learning started in their school or community. These resources include on-line
discussions for teaching staff, a monthly newsletter, and links to human and written resources.
For more information, contact Jeanine Yard at (517) 241-0214 or yardj@michigan.gov or
Angelia Salas at (517) 335-3407 or salasa@michigan.gov. Or visit the MCSC web site at
www.michigan.gov/mcsc.

Thirty-two percent of public schools nationwide organized service-learning as part of
their curriculum. That includes: 25 percent of elementary schools, 38 percent of
middle schools, and 46 percent of all high schools. 1
•
Eighty-three percent of schools;.With service-learning programs reported that grade
point averages of participating service-learning students improved 76 percent of the
·
time. 2

Educators and students in schools with strong service-learning programs reported
more positive school climate through a feeling of greater connectedness to the
school 3 and decreased teacher turnover and increased teacher collegiality. 4

Middle and elementary §~hoollstu9ents who participat~ in service-learning were
better able to trust~na be trusted by others, be reliable, and accept responsibility. 5
Students who participated in service-learning enjoyed helping others with projects,
became more dependable to others, and felt more comfortable communicating with
ethnically diverse groups. 6

Service Learning in Michigan
Survey Results and Analysis
October 2002
Prepared for
Michigan Community Service Commission
Prepared by
Public Sector Consultants Inc.
Lansing, Michigan
www.pscinc.com
�INTRODUCTION
In May of 2002, Public Sector Consultants, on behalf of the Michigan Community Service
Commission, conducted a mail survey of school principals in a sampling of Michigan public
schools. Its purpose is to provide a descriptive baseline of the prevalence of service learning
throughout Michigan. The survey also examines the use of community service activities in the
schools (activities that are not curriculum-based) compared to service learning, which is
structured within an academic course or curriculum with clearly defmed learning objectives.
MAJOR FINDINGS
•
Community service is more prevalent than service learning. Eighty-eight percent of
Michigan public schools participate in community service while 39 percent of schools
participate in service learning.
• Schools view community service and service learning in nearly identical ways. Reasons for
encouraging the activities are quite similar. Schools cite external rather than internal benefits.
For example, the two most often cited reasons for encouraging community service and
service learning were to meet real community needs and to help students become more active
community members. Least cited reasons include improving student achievement and
reducing at-risk behaviors.
• Service learning is largely an activity of individual teachers. In most cases, the results
indicate that schools encourage the use of service learning and are supportive of it, but that
the activities are largely carried out through the efforts of individual teachers in particular
courses (this occurs in 61 percent of schools), rather than as school- or district-wide
initiatives. Just over half (51 percent) of the schools indicate that it is part of a grade-wide
initiative.
• Schools provide financial and material support to individual teachers, but not additional
planning time. Sixty-seven percent of schools report that they provide support for teachers to
attend external conferences or training for service learning, and 58 percent report providing
financial assistance with some costs associated with engaging in service learning. However,
just 13 percent provide a reduction in course load and only 6 percent provide additional
planning time for teachers involved in service learning.
• Elementary schools are least likely to involve students in either community service or service
learning, but not by much. Eighty-three percent of elementary schools report that students are
involved in community service, compared to 93 percent of high schools and 90 percent of
middle schools and combination schools. Thirty percent of elementary schools report that
students are involved in service learning, compared to 48 percent of combination schools, 42
percent of high schools, and 40 percent of middle schools.
• Service learning is most often used in the social sciences or the physical/biological sciences.
Sixty-six percent of schools use service learning in social sciences and 53 percent use it in
the physicaVbiological sciences. Seventeen percent of schools report using it in computer
science and 21 percent report using service learning in mathematics.
• A relatively small proportion of schools receive external funding for service learning
activities; the more common sources are philanthropy and federal or state funding. In total,
just 13 percent of schools indicate that they received a special grant or special funding in the
past academic year to support service learning activities. Seventeen percent received a
1
�foundation grant, 15 percent received a grant from a corporation or business, and 12 percent
received funding from some other federal or state source. Five percent received funding from
Learn and Serve America; 6 percent received funding from AmeriCorps.

Background
The Michigan Community Service Commission (MCSC) had $20,000 of remaining funds
available after the renewal of the 8 community-based grantees. The MCSC requested that
Michigan State University 4H Extension submit a renewal application for the remaining $20,000
to continue to develop community-based organizational capacity to implement service-learning.
See the attached description for the specific details of the program proposal. The MCSC staff
reviewed that application and makes the following recommendation:

�Mich igan 's Volunteer Investment Grants
For FY 04, the Michigan Community Service Commission (MCSC) has $280,100 available
compared to last year's amount of $780,100 to support Michigan's Volunteer Investment Grants
(VIG) . The reduction in the amount of funds available is a result ofthe state budget cuts. These
grants are awarded to community-based organizations that serve as volunteer resource centers.
VIG's are used to establish local endowment funds to support community volunteer activities in
perpetuity.
In October, the MCSC issued the Michigan's Volunteer Investment Grants application
guidelines. All former and existing grantees received the guidelines. In addition, the MCSC sent
a copy ofthe guidelines to all of the Community Foundations, United Ways, Volunteer Centers,
and Michigan Campus Compact affiliates. The applications were due to the MCSC on
November 14,2003. We received 19 applications requesting $710,816. The applications were
peer reviewed on November 25, 2003. The peer reviewers recommended 13 ofthe applications
for a total of $465,816. The staff reviewed the applications and is recommending 10 applications
be funded in the amount of$280,100. The staff did not recommend Volunteer Center oflsabella
County, Hillsdale County United Way, and the Lenawee United Way and Volunteer Center be
funded based on the overall quality of their applications and the amount of funds available. In
addition, the staff is recommending reduced funding for eight of the ten applicants. Staff did not
recommend reducing funding for the two that requested the minimum amount of $20,000.

�Learn and Serve- Michigan CBO Program Description
Michigan State University Extension
Through county, state and national collaborations, Michigan 4-H Youth Development will focus
on using technology and the internet to strengthen youth programs, staff capacity and volunteer
development in order to increase community-based service-learning opportunities for Michigan
youth. This grant is a continuation of a 2003 Learn and Serve - Michigan CBO grant under
which Michigan State University Extension engaged nearly 300 youth and adults in communitybased service-learning training, selected seven sites in six counties to complete service-learning
projects, distributed written resources to more than 18,000 youth and youth workers.
Over the past year, a Citizenship, Leadership and Service Design Team comprised of 4-H staff,
volunteers, Michigan State University Extension staff, Michigan State University staff and
community partners studied the needs of Michigan's youth. In keeping with the priorities set by
this design team to promote training and education for creating global citizens, "Unleashing the
Power of Youth" will affect approximately 6,000 youth and adults by developing and offering
resources for community-based service-learning activities, training, technical assistance and
sustainabili ty.

RE:
Staff Recommendations for Learn and Serve-Michigan lSD!Higher Education
Partnership Grants
The Michigan Community Service Commission (MCSC) has approximately $730,000 available
to fund 5 high quality Learn and Serve - Michigan Intermediate School District and Higher
Education partnerships for a three-year period starting in January 1, 2004. For the 2003 - 04
program year the MCSC plans to award approximately $230,000. The application guidelines
were sent to all Intermediate Schools Districts in the state.
These grants will help build regional professional development opportunities for teachers and
administrators in the area of service-learning. The long-range goal of these grants is to establish
five sustained regional networks that will support the development and implementation of
sequential service-learning activities into the instructional methodology of school districts.
The MCSC has established the following goals for the Learn and Serve - Michigan Intermediate
School District/Higher Education Partnership:
•
•
•
The creation of five regional service-learning networks that will be composed of at least
one Intermedia e School District (lSD) and an Institution of Higher Education that will be
self-sustaining after grant funds are no longer available.
The expansion of service-learning into schools not currently within the MCSC Learn and
Serve grantee network. Special emphasis is being placed on schools identified as " The
Children' s Action Network Priority Schools" (See Appendix for list of target schools)
The regional ISD/Higher Education Partnership will conduct program evaluation to
improve the efficacy of service-learning as a teaching methodology and as a strategy to

RE:
2002-03 Supplemental Grant Applications
Staff have reviewed the evaluation feedback and arrive at the attached recommendations. The idea
of planning grants had been discussed. However, considering that it was not mentioned in the
grant announcement and with the limited amount of funding, it was decided to not bring it into
consideration at this time. Region six was the most difficult. We had discussed the idea of
awarding Oakland County the entire amount with the stipulation they share equally with Pontiac
and Rochester Hills. We decided to award equally reduced amounts to lessen the impact of such a
large award in one region. We knew that the effectiveness of the program would not be a factor
by this reduction and reducing other regions could be detrimental.
Kyle and I both want to thank the entire committee for your time and effort and again ask you
send in your review sheets with comments. We promise to allow more time for the next grant
review!

MEMORANDUM
TO: Executive Committee
FROM: Kyle Caldwell, Executive Director
DATE: November 21,2003
RE:
Summary of November 21,2003 meeting
The conference call meeting was called to order at 9:35a.m. with commissioners Mulhern
(Chair), Collier, Mawby and Smith present.
Funding Recommendations
The members approved the staff recommendations for the Michigan Citizen Corps programs (see
attached) and the wavier for the Volunteer Investment Grants intent to apply policy due to a
mechanical error related to the submission by the Volunteer Center of Chippewa County.
Policy Statement on AmeriCorps
Mr. Caldwell shared a copy of the previously approved letter of the MCSC regarding
AmeriCorps and its funding. The Congress activity demonstrated that the advocacy work might
have been productive. The VA HUD bill passed out of the conference committee provided
funding near the level the President requested and eliminated the harmful language related to the
drastic match requirements and funding term limits.
MCSC December Meeting
The agenda for the December meeting will concentrate on five areas:
A. Statutory functions including funding recommendations.
B. Welcoming new commissioners and all members sharing on their mentoring
expenences.
C. Examining the basic (in very visual terms) scope and summary of the work of the
MCSC.
�D. Re-examining the vision and mission discussions of the September meeting along
with the existing mission and vision of the MCSC.
E. Give a summary of Mentor Michigan activities to date and discuss future including
the creation of a business plan.
Future Executive Committee Meeting
The members agreed upon the meeting dates, but advised the staff that the April 9, 2004 date
coincided with Good Friday. Staff will suggest another date.
The meeting adjourned at 10:07 a.m.

Board ofDirectors
American Association of State Service Commissions
1400 I Street NW
Suite 560
Washington, D.C. 20005
Dear Colleagues,
The North Central Cluster of State Service Commissions requests that the Board of the
American Association of State Service Commissions (ASC) consider the following
recommendations at its next meeting. We are grateful to ASC for carefully listening to
the field to best represent us in conversations with the Board and Senior Management of
the Corporation for National and Community Service (CNCS) and other appropriate
entities on these issues. This is such an important time in the life of national service!
While we need to move quickly to ensure a positive future, we worry that the national
dialogue to date has focused too narrowly on changes that could harm what is working
well at the state and local levels and may be missing changes at the federal level that
could create the future we all desire--one where everyone that wants to serve as the
opportunity to do so.
As state commissions we have loved being part of the national experiment to create state
entities that would serve as models of a "reinvented government". In this role we have
been laboratories of innovation and have multiple success stories to tell that could be
helpful to the current national dialogue.
Our state commissions recognize that the issues are complex and that the stakes are high.
Any of our states would be delighted to host a site visit, or offer any support necessary, to
provide useful insight to achieve the best possible results for national service.
�As CNCS grapples with important and complex issues, we respectfully offer the
following recommendations:
Issue
Distributing Program
Development & Training
Resources (PDAT)
Suggestions
•
•
Distribute to states, allowing states to identify and use local
providers to meet cross-stream training needs.
Beyond a sufficient base level, resources for staffing and other
support should be allocated proportionate to the number of all
national service programs and members serving in the state
Defining the most
productive state/federal
partnership
•
Devolve hands-on grant making and programming to state
commissions, allowing CNCS to focus on streamlining
processes, ensuring accounting of grant funds and managing
an efficient structure.
Determining
State/Federal roles in
funding innovative and
new initiatives
•
Identify and compare examples of successful state and federal
innovation initiatives against defmed criteria to determine the
most effective approach.
Integrating AmeriCorps,
Senior Corps, VISTA,
and Learn & Serve
Programming
•
Equalize benefits and requirements for AmeriCorps and
VISTA members.
Design one application process for communities to be
considered for any CNCS programming.
Determining an adequate
and fair distribution of
administrative and
operational resources to
states and programs.
•
•
•
Increase the administrative dollars available to state
commissions; recognizing the added value of the infrastructure
that supports other service priorities such as Citizen Corps,
Community Volunteering, and development of the entire fi eld
ofnational service and volunteerism.
Complete a cost/benefit study of the multiple administrative
structures to determine most efficient/effective service delivery
model.
Again, we are so appreciative of your efforts and look forward to working with you to
shape the most positive future possible!
Respectfully,

Fast Facts
January 2004
in youth
Mentor Michigan, led by Governor Jennifer Granholm and First Gentleman Dan
Mulhern, is working to ensure that all youth have ongoing relationships with stable,
caring individuals. Together with mentoring programs throughout the state, it recruits
mentors, develops partners and champions, advocates for mentoring issues and
standards, provides resources and training, and recognizes the accomplishments of
mentors and the organizations that support them.
About National Mentoring Month
• National Mentoring Month focuses attention on the need for mentors. In addition,
it stresses the importance of working together-individuals, businesses,
government, schools, faith communities, nonprofit organizations-to increase the
number of mentors and assure brighter futures for our young people.
• Goals of National Mentoring Month:
1. Raise awareness of mentoring
2. Recruit individuals to mentor
3. Recruit organizations to engage their constituents in mentoring
• National Mentoring Month began in 2002, so it's in its third year.
• National sponsors: MENTOR (the National Mentoring Partnership) and the
Harvard Mentoring Project.
Mentoring in Michigan
According to information that was self-reported on the Mentor Michigan Survey and
analyzed by Kale Research Solutions, Inc.:
• A total of 17,710 mentoring relationships currently exist in Michigan.
o There are a total of 11 ,416 one-to-one matches reported by 154 mentoring
organizations
o There are a total of 6,294 group mentoring relationships reported by 126
mentoring organizations
• Not all mentoring organizations in Michigan completed the on-line
survey.
• Much mentoring occurs outside of a formal organizational
framework and is not reported.
• In Michigan, like in the nation as a whole, one-to-one mentoring organizations
are most common, with group mentoring being the next most common.
o Michigan has a slightly higher percentage of one-to-one mentoring
programs than the nation as a whole
• School performance, social skills, emotional growth, and behavioral choices are
the leading issues Michigan's mentoring organizations are designed to address .
�•
•
Most Michigan mentoring organizations serve children ages 5-18. No
organizations reported serving children under the age of 5 and less than 15
percent serve 19-21 year olds .
There are a total of 2,661 children on waiting lists. Some children wait as long as
104 weeks to be matched, while the average wait is 15 weeks.
Mentoring In America
According to research sponsored by AOL Time Warner Foundation and conducted by
Pathfinder Research & MarketFacts:
• 99 percent of the individuals who mentor through formal mentoring programs
recommend it to others.
• 31 percent of the people who mentor do so through formal mentoring programs.
• 52 percent of the people who mentor formally do so through school-based and
faith-based programs; 15 percent through youth programs.
• Only 43 percent of the people who mentor sought out the activity, the rest were
asked in one form or another.
• The Mentoring Gap- only 14 percent of the 10-18 year old who want mentors
have them.
• 42 percent of those who do not mentor would seriously consider mentoring.
Mentoring Works
There are many studies that document the effectiveness of mentoring. A few are listed
below:
1. Beier, MD, Sharon R., et al. The Potential Role of an Adult Mentor in Influencing
High-Risk Behaviors in Ado/scents. 2000 American Medical Association, ARCH

Dear Fellow Mentor,
We are writing today to say thank you and to talk to you about the 99 percent. First,
thank you for being a stable and caring adult in the life of a child. Thank you for making
our state a better place for kids to grow up . Thank you for accepting the gift and the
challenge of being a mentor.
We know and appreciate the commitment of time and energy you made when you
decided to become a mentor, for both of us are mentors, too . We trust your experience
with mentoring has been as valuable as ours. Not only are we touching the lives of
Brittney and Chrissean, our mentees, but we know how they continue to enrich our lives
as well.
Now, about that 99 percent. We expect that you, like us, belong to the 99 percent.
Research shows that 99 percent of those who have participated in formal mentoring
programs would recommend it to others. And along with our thanks, that is what we are
asking you to do .. . recommend it to others.
During January, National Mentoring Month, we invite you to encourage your friends and
family members to become mentors, too. They can get connected with the mentoring
program where you serve. It is easy - no matter where you live - to find a place to
mentor by visiting the Mentor Michigan web site at www.mentormichigan .org and
clicking on "Be A Mentor." Or you can calll-800-VOLUNTEER.
You are changing the world, two lives at a time - a child ' s and your own. Why not go
from changing two lives to six or eight by making it a personal goal to recruit three or
four new mentors for children who are crying out for support.
Again, thank you for the great work you are doing.

Kyle Caldwell
Executive Director
Michigan Community Service Commission
1048 Pierpont, Suite 4
Lansing MI 48913
Dear Kyle,
As you know, a 2003 Michigan Supreme Court ruling found that AmeriCorps national service
participants should be eligible for unemployment compensation. This ruling is a departure from
federal policy which indicates that members should not be eligible for unemployment benefits.
National service is not considered employment, and it should not be treated as employment.
National service participants begin their term with the knowledge that the service expectation is
from nine to twelve months. Federal regulations limit AmeriCorps members to serving at most
two terms. For their service commitment, they agree to certain benefits including a paid stipend,
health care benefits, and an education award at the end of their term that can be used for higher
education costs.
This ruling is causing financial hardships on agencies that host AmeriCorps members. Now,
these agencies must add the costs of unemployment insurance or reimbursement costs into their
annual program budget. This additional cost is part of each program's requirement to meet at
most $12,400 per FTE federal cost share. This requirement puts Michigan programs at a
disadvantage when competing for federal funding with programs from other states that do not
have a requirement for unemployment benefits. Likewise, currently funded programs have gone
to such extremes as to not enroll a full corps in order to reserve budget funds to cover
unemployment costs.
On behalf of current and future AmeriCorps program grantees, we urge you and the
Commissioners of the Michigan Community Service Commission to call upon the state
legislature to introduce and approve legislation that would exclude AmeriCorps members from
eligibility for unemployment benefits.
Thank you for taking the time to review this letter.
Sincerely,
f)Aa4

SUBJECT:
CHANGE IN AGENCY POSITION: COVERAGE OF SERVICES
PERFORMED BY AMERICORPS PARTICIPANTS
In a Field Release issued December 1, 1995, entitled "Coverage of Services Performed
by Americorps Participants: the Bureau concluded that participants in the Americorps
Program were not "employees· of the entity for which they performed services, and that
such participants were therefore not entitled to unemployment benefits based on the
performance of such services. The Field Release was based on federal Unemployment
Insurance Program Letter (UIPL) No. 25-95.
The Michigan Court of Appeals recently published its decision in Candice Dana v
American Youth FoundaUon and CIS/BWUC. The sole issue on appeal was whether
the services of Americorps participants were covered or excluded under Section
43(o)(v) of theMES Act which excludes from coverage ser\tices performed as part of an
"unemployment work-relief or work-training program:
As pointed out in UIPL 30-96, quoted extensively by the Court, the primary
characteristic of a "work-relief or work-training program· is that Nthe products or services
are secondary to providing financial assistance, training, or work-experience> to
individuals to relieve them of their unemployment or poverty or to reduce their
dependence upon various measures of relief." The Court concluded that the primary
objective of the Americorps Program is to encourage serviCe to one's community, not to
provide work-training or work-relief. Therefore, the services of Americorps participants
cannot be excluded from coverage under the "work-r~lief or work training• exclusion.
Since there is no other exclusion pertinent to that Program, the Court concluded that
services of Amercorps Participants are in covered employment. Adjudications dated
after the date of this Release should reflect this change. It is not necessary to reopen
prior (Re)Determinations, but any issued from this point forward that cover a period
beginning on and after June 24, 2003, the date of the Court's decision, should reflect
·
the change in the law.

Message: Attached is the Court of Appeals decision in the Dana vAmerican Youth Foundation
case. Simply stated, the court ruled that Ms. Dana is entitled to unemployment compensation,
since Americorps service does not qualify for the "work-relief or worker-training program"
exemption from providing unemployment compensation.
A published Michigan Court of Appeals decision is binding judicial precedent, which you must
recognize. Perhaps, your office should consider seeking a statutory amendment tlult would
exempt Americorps service from eligibility for unemployment compensation. I don't know
whether DCIS will seek to appeal the decision to the Michigan Supreme Court

Before: Smolenski, P.J., and Griffin and O'Connell, JJ.
SMOLENSKL P .J.
This case arose from defendant's denial of plaintiff's claim for unemployment
compensation following her service in an AmeriCo1ps program. Defendant Consumer &
Industry Services, Department of Unemployment, appeals by leave gra.llted from the circuit court
order that reversed the Employment Security Board of Review's decision denying plaintiff
unemployment insurance benefits. We affirm.
Plaintiff served with the Rural Strategic Action Initiative (RSAI) from October 30, 1995,
to August 31, 1996. Defendarit American Youth Foundation1 (AYF) administered the RSAI
project as an AmeriCoips program. During her service, plaintiff served as "a model and a leader
of the AmeriCorps Program." She recruited volunteers to begin new projects and then traine9
them to take over those projects. Plaintiff received a monthly stipend. referred to as a "living
allowance," totaling $7,945 over the course of her service. She also qualified for health

insurance and a child-care allowance during her senjce. At the end of her term, plaint:ift
received an education award of $4,725 to be used within seven years of the completion of het ·
service.
. ·,: ',.
-~:-: ~.
When plalntiff's term of service with RSAI . end~d, she applied for unemployment ,
benefits, and the Michigan Employment Security Agency de~ed her application.2 Plaintiff .
requested a hearing before a referee. Following various motions and procedural delays, tli~·
details of which are unimportant to this appeal. the hearing referee affirmed the agency's
decision. The referee found that federal authority prohibited finding an employer-employe~
relationship between AYF and plaintiff. Thus, the referee concluded, plaintiff's services were .
not performed in employment covered by the Michigan Employment Security Act (MESA), ·
MCL421.1 et seq.
·~ ·
Plaintiff appealed to the Employment Security Board of Review (Board). The ]~oard
reversed the referee's decision, concluding federal law was not controlling. The Board applied
Michigan's "economic realities" test and determined plaintiff was A YF's employee. Thus,
because plaintiff's employment was covered under the MESA. she was entitled to benefits.
.:•: .
.
~·
:
. .
Defendant moved for rehearing and the Board reversed its earlier decision. The Board.
determined the "economic realities" test indicated plaintiff had not been A YF's employee
because AYF had not directed and controlled her activities. The Board found that A YF did not
hire, fire, or have the right to discipline plaintiff; it merely served as a fiscal agent for the project
in which plaintiff participated. 1Therefore, plaintiff was not entitled to unemployment benefits.
Plaintiff appealed the Board's second decision and the circuit court reversed, effectively
affirming the Board's first decision. The court also applied the "economic reality" test and found
plaintiff was in an employer-employee relationship with A YF during her term of service. The
court further concluded the RSAI project was not a wod:-relief or worlc-training program exempt
from unemployment coverage under MCL 421.43(o)(v). Defendant appealed.
The narrow issue presented on appeal is whether the court erred in determining that
AmeriCorps' programs are not work-relief or wod:-training programs exempt from
unemployment coverage under MCL 421.43(o)(v). 3 This Court bas limited review of a trial
··~!
· <:
2
According to the Employment Security Board of Review, the commission denied plajntiff
benefits on two grounds: (1) her service with AmeriCorps was not "covered employment," and
(2) she did not have sufficient credit weeks. Only the first ground is at issue in this appeal.
3
Defendant has not challenged the court's finding that an employer-employee relationship
existed between plaintiff and AYF. Thus, defendant's arguments on this matter are irrelevant to •
our analysis.
However, we address one point on this subject for clarification. Under the National and
Community Service Act, 42 USC 12501 et seq, an AmeriCorps' participant "shall not be
considered to be an employee of the program in which the participant is enrolled." 42 USC
12511 (17). At first blush this would seem dispositive, but, as the Court in Twombley v Ass 'n of
Farmworker Opportunity Programs, 212 F3d 80. 84 n 4 (CA 1 2000), noted, "(T]he U.S.
Department of Labor considers participants not to be federal employee.: for p~r:er: ?f th~, · ,,

Employees who become involuntarily unemployed may qualify for unemployment
compensation under the MESA. The act is "remedial and was designed to •safeguard the general

involuntary employment,.. Korzowski v Pollack Industries, 213 Mich App 223, 228-229; 539
NW2d 741 (1995), quoting Tomei v General Motors Corp, 194 Mich App 180, 184; 486 NW2d

Iron Mining Partnership v Orhanen, 455 Mich 410, 417; 565 NW2d 844 (1997).
MCL 421.42 defines "employment" for pmposes of determining eligibility for
nnemployment benefits, while MCL 421.43 describes types of service that are excluded from the
term "employment." Specifically, MCL 421 .43(o)(v) provides:
For purposes of section 42(8), (9), and (10).4 "employment" does not
apply to service performed in any of the following situations:
(v) As part of an unemployment work-relief or work-training program
assisted or fmanced in whole or in part by a federal agency or an agency of a state
or political subdivision of a state by an individual receiving the work relief or
work tra.ini.ng.
Defendant argues that because AmeriCorps was created as a job-training pro~
plaintiff's work was performed as part of a government-funded work-training program, which is
specifically excluded from eligibility for unemployment insurance benefits under MCL
421.43(o)(v). We disagree.

In addition, Congress described the NCSA's purpose as follows:
It is the ·purpose of this Act to (1) meet the unmet human, educational, environmental, and public safety
needs of the United States, without displacing existing workers;
(2) renew the ethic of civic responsibility and the spirit of community
throughout the United States;
(3) expand educational opportunity by rewarding individuals who
participate in national service with an increased ability to pursue higher education
or job training;
(4) encourage citizens of the United States, regardless of age, income, or
disability, to engage in full-time or part-time national service;
(5) reinvent government to eliminate duplication, support locally
established initiatives, require measurable goals for performance, and offer
flexibility in meeting those goals;

.
(8) provide tangible benefits to the communities in which national service
is performed. [42 USC 1250l(b).]
Defendant believes these characteristics evidence a work-relief or work-training program..
asserting ''there can be no doubt that, since Congress enacted NCS~ in large measure, for its
anti-poverty and work-training attributes, it was squarely within the pmview of excluded
services as set forth in section 43(o)(v) of theMES Act."
Michigan cowts have not addressed whether AmeriCorps is a work-relief or worktraining program excluded from "employment'' under the MES~ nor have they detemri.ned what
constitutes a work-relief or work-training program. However, the Federal Unemployment Tax
Act, 26 USC 3301 et seq, includes a work-relief and work-training exclusion nearly identical to
the Michigan provision. Specifically, the federal provision exempts from mandatory state
unemployment coverage services performed '"'as part of an unemployment work-relief or worktraining program assisted or financed in whole or in part by any Federal agency or an agency of a
State or political subdivision thereof or of an Indian tribe, by an individual receiving such work
relief or work training." 26 USC 3309(b)(5).
Because the Michigan provision closely mirrors the federal exclusion, interpretations of
the federal statute provide highly persuasive, although not binding, authority. Sharp v City of
Lansing, 464 Mich 792, 819; 629 NW2d 873 (2001). Although we were unable to find case law
interpreting "work relief' or "work training" as used in the federal exclusion,~ policy s1a.tement
issued by the United States D<;Partment of Labor (USDOL), Employment and Training
Administration provides guidance. This Court generally defers to the interpretation of a statute
by the arlministrative agency responsible for administering it, unless that interpretation is clearly
wrong. Faircloth v Family Independence Agency, 232 Mich App 391, 406; 591 NW2d 314
(1998).
USDOL construed ''work-relief' and ''work-training'' programs as distinct exclusions and '·
described the distinction as follows:
·
Work-relief projects are primarily intended to alleviate the disadvantaged
status of the individual by providing employment For ''work-training," there is
no requirement that the individual must be economically disadvantaged. Instead,

unemployment or poverty or to reduce their dependence upon various measures of
relief, even though the work may be meaningful or serve a useful public purpose.
B. A work-relief or work-training program must have one or more of the
following characteristics:
(1) the wages, hours, and conditions of work are not commensurate with
those prevailing in the locality for similar work;
(2) the jobs did not, or rarely did, exist before the program began (other
than under similar programs) and there is little likelihood they will be continued
when the program is discontinued;

In this case, plaintiffs AmeriCorps service embodied several of these characteristics.

purposes is a desire to encourage service to communiti,es in need, and the NCSA also aims to ·
increase participants' educational oppoitunities. Additionally, plaintiff's service was_ in the .
public interest, and AmeriCorps' goals include not displacing employed workers, 42 USC.
1250I(bXI), both of which are ch3racteristic of a work~ program. Furthermore, the: :.

account applicants' economic status by aiming for seventy-five percent of participants to come ·
from the low-income areas the programs served, a characteristic of a work-relief program.
·
::- .:-.fi.
However, AmeriCorps does not satisfY a key element to be considered a worlc-relief or:
worlc-training program. According to USDOL's policy statement, a mandatory characteristic of
either a work-relief or work-training program is that "the products or services are secondary to
providing financial assistance, training, or work-experience to individuals to relieve them oftheit
unemployment or poverty or to reduce their dependence upon various measures of relief.;' The
NCSA's stated purposes do not support such a characterization of AmeriCorps. NCSA's
primary stated purpose was to encourage service to community, not to provide job training or
help alleviate poverty. In fact, there is no indication these were intended objectives of the
NCSA, and defendant provides no support for its contrary assertion.
Therefore, we conclude that the AmeriCorps programs cannot be classified as work-relief
or work-training programs, and defendant cannot deny plaintiff unemployment compensation on
this basis. Accordingly, we hold that the circuit court did not err in reversing the Board's
decision.

MICHIGAN MERIT AWARD BOARD
RESOLUTION 2004-1
DETERMINATION OF COMMUNITY SERVICE REQUIREMENT FOR
MICHIGAN MERIT AWARD RECIPIENTS
The Governor has proposed that beginning with the graduating Class of 2006, each
Michigan Merit Award eligible student shall complete a minimum of 40 hours of
volunteer community service prior to June 30 1h of their graduation year. This Resolution
sets the criteria for this requirement and how it will be implemented.
A. Definitions
Volunteer: A person who renders aid, performs a serv1ce, or assumes an obligation
voluntarily.
Service: An act of assistance or benefit to another or others.
B. Local Responsibility
Each school board or board of directors of public school academies, or, at the local or
private board's or home school's option, each high school principal, should establish a
community service policy that includes criteria for qualifying community service
activities. This allows the local, or private board or home school to better identify the
activities in which students may already participate and the specific needs of each
community.
It is the intent of the Merit Board that the student renders aid or performs volunteer
service that directly benefits someone other than the student. This community service
should be separate from regular extracurricular activities such as athletics, band, choir,
etc. Eligible activities may include (but are not limited to), reading to children in the
elementary grades, tutoring, mentoring younger children, service learning, Meals on
Wheels, Hospice, hospital volunteer, Habitat for Humanity or participating in activities
that encourage middle school children to prepare for college. Other activities may
include volunteer work through organizations such as local United Way agencies,
Americ, Corp7 faith-based organizations, or other recognized local volunteer
organizations.
Any community service that the student may have already completed during his/her high
school career is considered eligible.
�2
C. Reporting
Schools:
For students identified as eligible for the Michigan Merit Award, the Michigan Merit
Award Program must receive from the school a yes/no verification that the community
service has been completed. The Merit Board directs the Merit administrative staff to
enable the reporting to be done with existing reporting requirements already in place.
Students:
Each eligible student shall also verify with a yes/no that he/she has completed the
required volunteer service. The Merit Board directs the Michigan Merit Program to
enable the reporting to be done with the existing certification process already in place.
An otherwise eligible student may not receive payment of his/her award until both
verifications are received.
D. Alternate Documentation
The Merit Award Program will accept third party verification in cases where the local or
private boards or high school principals or home school did not establish a policy, or if
the student disagrees with the high school principal's failure or refusal to make
certification of compliance for the student. The Merit Board will require a certification
of compliance by an organization or person unrelated to the student who supervised the
student's performance of their volunteer community service.
In all cases the student must also certify that he/she has complied with the requirement.
NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS RESOLVED:
Beginning with the Class of 2006, each Michigan Merit Award eligible student shall
complete a minimum of 40 hours of volunteer service prior to June 30111 of their
graduation year.
NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS RESOLVED:
Payment of the student's award will not be made unless the Merit Award office receives
verification, from the school and the student, that the service has been completed.

Granholm's Community Service Plan Receives
Michigan Merit Board Approval
August17 , 2004
The Michigan Merit Award Board today approved a resolution requmng high school students to
perform 40 hours of community service, to qualify for the Michigan Merit Award . Governor Jennifer
Granholm proposed the requirement in her 2004 State of the State address.
"Whether helping senior citizens, mentoring young children , or cleaning up the environment, Merit
Award winners will not only be examples of outstanding character, they will make Michigan a better
place to live, work, and play," said Granholm .
High schools students qualify for the $2 ,500 Michigan Merit Award if they meet or exceed state
standards on Michigan Educational Assessment Program (MEAP) high school tests. Approximately
50 ,000 students qualify for Merit Awards each year. Merit Award funds are subject to annual
appropriation .
The Community Service requirement will begin with the graduating class of 2006. Many school
districts already have community service programs in place. Those that do not will be expected to
establish a new policy . "It is important that local districts and educators develop their own policies,"
said State Treasurer Jay B. Rising , chair of the Merit Award Board . "They know best the needs of their
respective communities and the opportunities available to students."
According to the Merit Board resolution , community service should be separate from regular
extracurricular activities such as athletics, band, and choir.
For each student to receive payment, the Michigan Merit Award Office must receive from the student
and his or her high school , verification that the community service requirement has been fulfilled. This
can be completed in conjunction with current Michigan Merit Award reporting requirements.

92ND LEGISLATURE
REGULAR SESSION OF 2004
Introduced by Senator Johnson
ENROLLED SENATE BILL No. 1020
AN ACT to amend 1999 PA 94, entitled "An act to create the Michigan merit award scholarship trust fund; to create the
Michigan merit award scholarship board and prescribe the powers and duties of the board; and to provide for the Michigan
merit award scholarship program," by amending section 8 (MCL 390.1458), as amended by 2003 PA 186.
The People of the State of Michigan enact:
Sec. 8. (1) Michigan merit award scholarship money shall be used only to pay for eligible costs.
(2) The board shall determine the manner and form of application for payment of a Michigan merit award scholarship by a
student eligible under section 7 and the procedure for payment to the student or to an approved postsecondary educational
institution on the student's behalf, subject to 1 of the following, as applicable:
(a) As determined by the board, upon the request of a student or parent or legal guardian of a minor student, the board may
pay a Michigan merit award scholarship in 2 consecutive annual installments rather than 1 lump sum for a student who
graduates from high school or passes the general educational development (GED) test or approved graduate equivalency
examination before March 1, 2003.
(b) For each student who graduates from high school or passes the general educational development (GED) test or approved
graduate equivalency examination on or after March 1, 2003 and before March 1, 2004, the board shall pay a Michigan merit
award scholarship in 2 consecutive annual installments, beginning in the state fiscal year for which the student is otherwise
eligible under section 7. The first installment shall not exceed 50% of the award amount, and the second installment shall
consist of the remaining award amount. Verification that the student has met the emollment criteria under section 7(4)(c) is
required prior to issuance of the second installment.
(c) For each student who graduates from high school or passes the general educational development (GED) test or approved
graduate equivalency examination on or after March 1, 2004, the board shall pay a Michigan merit award scholarship in 2
consecutive annual installments, beginning in the state fiscal year that begins after the beginning of the academic year for

which the student is otherwise eligible under section 7. The first installment shall not exceed 50% of the award amount, and
the second installment shall consist of the remaining award amount. Verification that the student has met the emollment
criteria under section 7( 4 )(c) is required prior to issuance of the second installment.
(3) An approved postsecondary educational institution shall not consider a Michigan merit award scholarship in detemlining
a student's eligibility for a fmancial aid program administered by this state. It is the intent of the legislature that an approved
postsecondary educational institution not reduce institutionally-funded student aid because of the Michigan merit award
scholarship program.
(4) Before payment of a Michigan merit award scholarship to a student or an approved postsecondary educational institution,
the student shall certify or affrrm in writing to the board each of the following:
(a) That the student is emolled at an approved postsecondary educational institution.
(b) The name of the approved postsecondary educational institution in which the student is emolled.
(c) That the student agrees to use the Michigan merit award scholarship only for eligible costs.
(d) That the student has not been convicted of a felony involving an assault, physical injury, or death.
(e) That the student graduated from high school or passed the general educational development (GED) test or approved
graduate equivalency examination within 1 of the following time periods:
(i) If the student graduated from high school or passed the test or examination before March 1, 2002, within the 7-year period
preceding the date of the student's application to receive his or her Michigan merit award scholarship.
(ii) If the student graduated on or after March 1, 2002, within the 4-year period preceding the date of the student's application
to receive his or her Michigan merit award scholarship, or within a period equal to 4 years plus the number of days the
student served as a member of the United States armed forces or peace corps if the student became a member of the United
States armed forces or peace corps during this 4-year period and served for 4 years or less. The board may also extend the 4year period if the board detemlines that an extension is warranted because of an illness or disability of the student or in the
student's immediate family or another family emergency.
(5) The board shall not begin disbursing funds for a Michigan merit award scholarship to a student or an approved
postsecondary educational institution on behalf of the student unless it receives the request or application for payment,
including the written certification or affumation described in this section, from the student on or before 1 of the following
dates, for disbursement in that academic year:
(a) In the 2002-2003 academic year, January 15.
(b) In the 2003-2004 academic year, September 15 if the student received notification of eligibility prior to August 1.
(c) In the 2003-2004 academic year, November 15 if the student received notification of eligibility on or after August 1.

RFL: Thoughts on Mentoring and Leadership
Friends,
In Michigan we sare working to recruit 10,000 mentors for every child who needs a stable, caring
person in their life. This month is National Mentoring Month, so I thought I would write about a couple
of the key connections between mentoring and leadership. Let me begin with a story.
Wednesday of last week was "Thank your mentor day" (if this escaped your attention, it's not too late
to let someone know the impact they had on your life). My wife and I decided to invite our mentors
and our mentees to join us for lunch. It felt like family, but with a heightened level of purpose, and with
a heightened sense of mystery. Isn't it a mystery when you consider how life bestows on you the gift
of this For-Some-Reason-Important-Person, who measurably improves the innermost workings of your
self-perception and your other-direction. The six ofr us at lunch also shared an inter-generational
connection like I had never experienced. We were all "in the moment," yet you could feel a sense of
time -the hard-fought wisdom of elders and the rising hope of the young . It could not have felt more
like blood family than it did. But I get ahead of myself.
When we decided on the lunch, I knew exactly whom to call . Fr. Canfield had been my high school
counselor and principal when I was a senior. I called him up. I asked him how he was. "Hangin' in
there," he replied. "Tough day?" I asked. And he launched into a story about an 11th grader who had
a half hour earlier grabbed all his books and left the school in a flurry of expletives and exasperation.
"He's a really bright kid, and he's finally started working, and can't believe the results aren't
instantaneous. He got his grades, and said 'I'm outta here."' I asked if he had talked to him. He
sighed, "not yet." I am sure by now he has. For over 30 years he's been catching kids ...as though
they were his own children . And every time I hear him talk, I marvel at his compassion , and I want to
emulate him , want never to miss the people on the margin, who long for hope and for someone to
believe in them . He gives them a whole new self-perception and in turn an other-direction.
Then, as my wife's mentor, Judge Damon J. Keith spoke at lunch I could hear the echo. Not one off
the walls but an echo in my memory's halls. He talked to Jennifer's mentee and my young mentee
about what it was like to grow up black, without professionals as role models, and how he felt a
pounding, driving obligation to help others. For he had made it, because people believed in him, gave
him a boost up, and so he said , in turn, "never believe there's anything you can't do. if you set your
mind to it." As Fr. Canfield has rescued so many lost kids, Judge Keith has launched others to
careers of both achievement and service. The echo I heard was the voice of the Judge's mentee. For
like so many of his cherished clerks, my wife had become a champion of possibility - a change in selfperception and then other-direction . A mentor and mentee had connected on a deep teaching of
principle and their words were now interchangeable.
Of Fr. Canfield and Judge Keith, I could draw 100 lessons. Let me offer this one: The Priest and the
Judge were storytellers and story-listeners . Great leaders listen to others' stories and help make the
connections that their experience has shown them . Great leaders tell their stories, and thus make
meaning of the world about them . They take the great mass of experience and point, "see there ."
They tell what it is they are pulling from the generation before them , what's the wheat and what's the
chaff, what was hard earned and why it is of worth. And they connect it - sometimes like Fr. Canfield
they have to sew it right in -- to the heart, life and experience of the mentee. They point to the
mentee's quality (or failure to fully realize it), and thus they bring hope.
If you want to mentor*, listen to other's stories and tell your own. Your stories- likely connected to the
stories your mentored told and listened out of you .
Peace,
Dan

RFL: Why Mentors Matter
Friends,
In response to last week's RFL on mentoring, my friend Dan Malone informed me of a startling fact:
50% of Nobel Prize winners had been mentored by prior Nobel Prize winners. From this fact, one
could form many hypotheses -which, if I were destined for a Nobel Prize I might just do- but I'll skip
the hypotheses and jump to the seemingly obvious conclusion: mentors can help others to succeed
big time! I want to suggest two things that make a mentor a mentor, and one powerful result of
mentoring. I do this in the dual hope that you will look to mentor others in work-type settings and that
you would consider signing up to mentor a child who is in need of a stable, caring presence.
I wrote briefly about Fr. Canfield last week. Let me tell you the story of how our mentorship began.
But first a sentence of background: although I am often viewed by others as a very soft spoken
person, the basketball court has always worked on me the way a full moon works on a werewolf; I step
on the floor and immediately grow fangs of intensity. One day in 9th or 1Oth grade in a meaningless
lunch time intramural game, I threw a bad pass, and in self-disgust hurled an unmentionable expletive
to the high rafters of the old gym . For no reason, I looked to the sidelines, and there was Fr. Canfield
quietly motioning me over. Dread covered me. "Mulhern," he said, "I expect more of you." And that
was it.
He did the two simply powerful things mentors do: he saw me as I was and he explained that he saw
much more in me than I was being. If you want to be a great mentor, get a clear sense of who you
think has great potential and (1) give them straightforward feedback that lets them know you are
paying attention to them; and (2) let them know you see their great potential.
Here's the upshot: because Fr. Canfield did these two things - saw me and called forth my potential I trusted him. Trusted him in two ways. First, I trusted his teachings. Mentors connect us to the
wisdom of the ages: they allow us to not have to make every foolish mistake that's been made before
(that's why they are so helpful in organizational politics, because they know the rules, especially the
unwritten ones). I could trust his teachings, because I knew he had my welfare in mind . And , perhaps
more important, I trusted his example. I emulated him. I did what he said, but even more, and as
much unconsciously as consciously, I did what I saw him do.
So, the next time one of your "students" is cursing on the court of life, think about calling them over,
letting them know you see them and that you see so much more in them. I believe you will find it
works the same in life at the job, as in the life of a child whose behaviors are screaming, "somebody
please see me." You could turn them around completely. For information about mentoring a child,
click on www.MentorMichigan.org or call 1-(800)-VOLUNTEER (a number that doesn't just work in
Michigan but anywhere in the country.). And have a great week.

RFL: On Reciprocity - 3rd in a series on leadership and mentoring
Friends,
It was about 6:00 on a still-muggy day. I was sitting by the pool, after an afternoon in the steel mill, in
the summer before I went off to college. Bayard, my eccentric-named and eccentric-thinking high
school classmate walked up and with little fanfare asked, "Danny boy, do you know how to always be
happy?" "No, Bayard," I dead-panned, "tell me how to always be happy." "Always be grateful" he
said . Almost forty years later I remember the moment and Bayard's momentous idea. Mentoring can
sometimes come from the most unexpected places.
I functioned like a paid mentor when I worked with clients as their executive coach . Every time I
began work with a new client, doubts would cross my mind: Will she find my ideas obvious? Will he
find things too soft? Will she think I'm too theoretical? How can I work with him when he's twenty-five
years my senior? Despite the initial fears, it seems I offered some value.
I imagine the major reason I delivered value was that the client sought the value, was open to
learning, expected something good from me. That is a lesson in itself: if you open your mind, you can
learn from almost anyone! And if you as a mentor, hope someone will learn from you, then you had
better pay attention to their receptivity: is their mind open? For instance, when someone is in the grips
of strong emotions of anger, frustration, or grief- for example about a project that has become a
disaster-- it is likely they aren't very receptive to your coaching. (And, by the way, unlike what many
of us instinctively think, acknowledging their emotions does not mean you can't at an appropriate time,
talk more analytically and constructively about why and how things went so wrong.) Look for the
opening .
In less high-charged emotional circumstances, if you wonder whether your mentee is receptive, you
might simply ask him: "are you open to some feedback?" or "Can I share a thought with you about the
work I've seen you do?" If they happen to say "No," well then, keep it to yourself. Another time will
come. Do you gauge receptivity?
Lastly. if you want to mentor. become open to being mentored, including by your mentee. Bayard was
my peer - and truth be told at 18 I didn't think of him as my equal -- but he sure taught me wisely.
Some of my coaching clients - who considered me their mentor - taught me more than I taught
them . And my children, whom I work so hard to teach, teach me every day. If you coach well. it's in
some measure proportional to your openness to learning from those you coach. (Indeed, the idea for
today's RFL came from a reader, Michael Porter, at DTE who, in response to last week's RFL on
mentoring, astutely suggested that I talk about the quality of reciprocity between mentor and mentee.)
So, how open are you? From whom are you able to learn? How wide is mind's ear open to learning especially from those whom you are busy teaching?
Have a week filled with learning!

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
December 10, 2003
CONTACT: Sandy Scott
sscott@cns .gov
202-606-5000 x255
David Eisner Confirmed as New CEO
of Corporation for National and Community
Service
Washington D.C. - David Eisner, a former executive at AOL Time
Warner and a nationally recognized expert on nonprofit capacity building and organizational effectiveness, was confirmed by the
Senate yesterday as the next Chief Executive Officer of the
Corporation for National and Community Service. The
Corporation administers Senior Corps, AmeriCorps, Learn and
Serve America and other domestic service initiatives that engage
Americans of all ages and backgrounds in service to their communities and country.
"National and community service represents the best of American citizens' commitment
to our civil society and democratic values," said Eisner. "I am extremely grateful to
Preside nt Bush for nominating me, and to the Senate for allowing me to serve in this
post."
Eisner, 42, takes over from Acting CEO James F. Manning, who remains the agency's
Chief Operating Officer. In his new position, Eisner will oversee an agency with 600
employees that supports more than 1.5 million Americans who serve the needs of their
communities through schools, nonprofits, and faith-based and community organizations.
On Monday, the House of Representatives approved a 20 percent budget increase for
the Corporation and its programs as part of the Fiscal 2004 Omnibus Appropriations bill.
"I am very eager to get to work," said Eisner. "The Corporation and our grantees have
had a difficult year, but it's a new day. We are moving ahead, confident in our mission ,
optimistic about our future, and committed to becoming even more effective and
accountable as we strengthen volunteering and service across America. With an
incredibly dedicated staff, an outstanding field, and a historic bipartisan display of
grassroots, Congressional, and Presidential support, we are poised to engage more
Americans in service to meet the needs of our neighborhoods and nation ."
Stephen Goldsmith, Chairman of the Corporation's Board of Directors, said, "The
Corporation is very fortunate to have attracted someone with experience in the
corporate, nonprofit, and government sectors - especially someone with the
organizational, management, and leadership skills that David brings to the post."
"I am extremely pleased that we have the benefit of David's leadership to help achieve
the President's goal of increased volunteering and civic engagement in our nation/
added John Bridgeland, Assistant to the President and Director of the USA Freedom
Corps. "David will strengthen management and accountability at the Corporation, which
will help ensure that more Americans have the opportunity to serve their communities
through volunteering and national service." The Corporation and its programs are a key
�component of USA Freedom Corps, a White House initiative to foster a culture of
citizenship, service, and responsibility and to help all Americans answer President Bush 's
Call to Service.
From 1997 until this year, Eisner was a Vice President at AOL Time Warner. He also was
Senior Vice President of the AOL Time Warner Foundation . At AOL, he directed and
developed the company's charitable foundation and its pro-social business strategy,
managing a team of employees responsible for creating and sustaining strategic
relationships, coalition development, philanthropic initiatives, and social policy issues
impacting the company's business divisions. Eisner also led the effort to develop two
leading donation and volunteer websites: the AOL Foundation's Helping.org, and
Network for Good, a partnership between AOL Time Warner, Cisco Systems, and Yahoo .
In collaboration with the federal government, he was also instrumental in helping to
create the USA Freedom Corps Volunteer Network, the largest network of volunteer
opportunities ever assembled.
Before joining AOL, Eisner worked for four years as Senior Vice President in the
Washington, D.C., office of Fleishman-Hilliard International Communications, one of th e
world's largest public relations firms. From 1990 to 1993, he managed public relations
at the Legal Services Corporation. Eisner started his career on Capitol Hill, serving as
press secretary for three Members of Congress between 1985 and 1990: Dana
Rohrabacher (R-CA), Bill McCollum (R-FL) and Mac Sweeney (R-TX).
Eisner has brought his expertise in organizational development to bear as a board
member of several national nonprofit organizations, including Independent Sector, the
National 4-H Council, and Network for Good. He was a founding board member of the
Social Enterprise Alliance, which helps nonprofit groups employ earned income
strategies to build sustainability, and he also served on the boards of the Nonprofit
Technology Enterprise Network, which supports the thousands of individuals and
hundreds of organizations that build technology capacity within nonprofit organizations,
and Technology Works for Good, which delivers technology solutions to nonprofit
organizations in the Washington, D.C., region.
"In addition to being a strong leader, thinker, and collaborator, David has a wealth of
expertise in organizational structure and nonprofit capacity-building," said Diana Aviv,
President of Independent Sector, a national coalition of more than 700 charities,
foundations, and corporate philanthropic programs. "We're delighted that the President
has selected and the Senate has confirmed such an inspired choice to strengthen the
cause of national service and serve the entire nonprofit sector. David knows how to
work with others and understands service and volunteerism. I am confident that under
his stewardship, the Corporation for National and Community Service will be well
managed and will flourish."
A graduate of Stanford University, Eisner received his law degree from Georgetown
University Law Center. He and his wife, Lori, live in Bethesda, Maryland, with their four
young children.
Through its various programs, the Corporation for National and Community Service
provides opportunities for Americans of all ages and backgrounds to serve their
communities and country. For more information, visit www.nationalservice.org.

FROM: Kyle CaldweU, Executive Director
I~
DATE: January 23,2004
RE: Summary of January 23,2004 Meeting
The following is a summary ofthe meeting of the Michigan Community Service Commission
Executive Committee held via conference call on January 23, 2004.
The meeting was called to order at 10:09 a.m. Members present: Daniel Mulhern, Chair;
Robert A.Collier, Vice Chair; Russell G. Mawby, and Meg Smith. Staff present: Kyle
Caldwell, Mary Zatina, Janice Harvey.
Update on Mentor Michigan
Mr. Caldwell mentioned that January is National Mentoring Month and what the MCSC was
doing to promote Mentor Michigan. He discussed the "Thank Your Mentor" Press
Conference with Governor Granholm and First Gentleman Dan Mulhern on January 15. He
also discussed other methods of promoting National Mentoring Month including billboards
that will be going up around the state and Op-Eds from Commissioners to their local
newspapers. The business plan for Mentor Michigan is being crafted and will be discussed at
the February MCSC board meeting. Chair Mulhern mentioned that there are PSA's that he
and the Governor participated in that are airing and that he has been doing radio interviews to
promoting mentoring. He also mentioned that the goal was to have 1500 hits on the
MentorMichigan.org website and that we are close to attaining that goal. Commissioner
Mawby mentioned that the ads looked great and that the challenge will be to keep mentoring
going all year. Chair Mulhern stated that February is Black History Month and his office
will be working with the Mayor of Detroit to promote mentoring during the month.
Mr. Caldwell announced that Suzanne Geha, WOOD-TV 8 in Grand Rapids, has agreed to
serve as emcee for the Governor's Service Awards and will do a media push during May
�focusing on mentoring and the Governor's Service Awards. There will also be a category this
year focusing on mentoring.
Review of Goals for 2004
Mr. Caldwell explained that there will be an additional piece added to the AmeriCorps goals
for this year that will focus on quality. There will be added emphasis on what we define as
best programs and what quality means.
February 9, 2004 Meeting Agenda
The members discussed the agenda. Mr. Caldwell mentioned that the Outreach Committee
will be highlighting the commitments from sponsors of $20,000 for the GSA. He also stated
that six Commissioners are making calls to add additional sponsors. It was discussed at the
December board meeting to possibly combine the fundraising efforts for GSA with Mentor
Michigan. The Executive Committee members agreed that it would be more effective to keep
the fundraising efforts separate.
Mr. Caldwell stated that he is waiting for confirmation that David Eisner, CEO of CNCS, will
speak during the Volunteer SuperConference. If he does confirm, Mr. Caldwell would like to
invite him to participate in a roundtable with Commissioners and site visits. It was clarified
that the accomplishment of Eisner's visit to Michigan would be a better understanding of
where the field stands, Michigan's deep roots in philanthropy, contacts to Michigan to use as
a touchstone, and reinforce the importance of state commissions. Chair Mawby mentioned
that it would be effective to have an AmeriCorps program present during the conversation.
The members also discussed the President's mention of mentoring in his State of the Union
and how we can tie that in with Michigan.
The February 9, 2004 meeting agenda was approved.
Approval ofstaff recommendation of Michigan Campus Compact AmeriCorps Proposal
(Education Award Only)
Mr. Caldwell gave background on the proposal and explained that this funding is different
than the other funding of AmeriCorps programs. This funding will be for the education award
only and usually goes to organizations that don't need the admin or stipend. The CNCS has
some additional education awards available. The education only awards are a big advantage
for MCSC as it helps our portfolio. See attached memo for outline of awards.
Commissioner Mawby moved to approve the staff recommendations of Michigan Campus
Compact AmeriCorps Proposal. Commissioner Collier seconded the motion. -The motion
passed unanimously.
Future Executive Committee Meeting Dates
Mr. Caldwell explained that an additional Executive Committee meeting was added on March
17 at 10:00 am to approve funding for AmeriCorps and Citizen Corps
The meeting was adjourned at 10:38 a.m.

RE: Staff Recommendations for AmeriCorps Funding (Education Award Only Grant)
Recommendation
The Michigan Community Service Commission (MCSC) staff recommends provisional approval
of the Michigan Campus Compact (MCC) AmeriCorps Education Award Only program for 300
minimum-time members (serving 300 hours each per year) and a total of $24,000 in operation
costs.

* Education Awards are administered directly by the CNCS with the individual members. The MCSC would not be
responsible for the administration of these awards.
Summary
The staff received an application for an AmeriCorps Education Award Only program from the
MCC to engage 300 minimum-time (300 hours) members (60 full-time equivalent), year around,
to provide services to youth state wide. The Education Award Only programs differ from our
other AmeriCorps programs in that the applicant underwrites the costs of operating the program
�(with the exception of a $400/FTE allotment), and in exchange the Corporation for National and
Community Service will provide the Education Award to the members who have served.
As a program of the MCC, college students at the organization's member campuses will be
enrolled and supervised through campus service offices and partner community organizations.
Campuses will participate in a competitive application process to receive members, and place
them in local partner community organizations to complete their service. Members will mainly
be comprised of those students who qualify for Federal Work Study, thus encouraging each
university to lend increased support to meet local community needs.
In addition, a large component of each member' s development will focus on increasing their
understanding of civic engagement and effective citizenship, by incorporating training and
discussion on related topics into the program's member development plan. While at their service
sites, members will engage youth in activities such as mentoring in order to increase youth
socialization, self-esteem and confidence. Members will also recruit at least 10 community
volunteers each in support of program activities, leveraging a total of 3,000 additional
community volunteers.
The MCSC staffbelieves that the proposal is sound and would prove competitive. Therefore
staff requests provisional funding to proceed with the submission of the application to the
Corporation for National and Community Service so that the MCC may address the following:
1. Narrowing and identifying the specific community needs the members will address
through their service.
2. More clarity on how MCC will identify sites and incorporate them in the overall
monitoring/evaluation plan the MCC will use to measure impact.
3. More specificity on outcome measures for the program.
Education Award Only programs have three submission dates: February 3, 2004, May 11, 2004,
and November 2, 2004. This application would be slated for a February 3rd submission.

Dear Name:
Michigan's volunteers are transforming our communities into better places to live, work, and
grow for children and families. They do this for the most part with no expectation of thanks or
adulation . We honor their citizen patriotism because it is right to do so and because we believe the
celebration of their model behavior will inspire others to serve their communities.
We know you share our desire to honor these selfless individuals, some of whom may be employed
by <insert organization>. Yet, seldom are corporations given opportunities to come forward in a big
way-as <insert organization> can this year-to publicly acknowledge Michigan' s volunteer heroes.
The Governor's Service Awards, one ofMichigan' s most prestigious volunteer recognition events,
are presented annually to celebrate Michigan's volunteers. The event includes a private receptio~·) .
hosted by Governor Granholm and a dinner open to the general public where the Governor pays
'll!' ·
tribute to the awardees. The Governor's Service Awards are being held on Monday, May 24, 2004 at
the Amway Grand Plaza in Grand Rapids. The event is being held in conjunction with the
Volunteerism SuperConference, Michigan ' s premiere conference for nonprofit professionals.
We would be delighted if you would consider serving as a·n Award Sponsor for the Governor's
Service Awards (GSA). A three-year commitment through an annual contribution of$10,000 to the
Governor's Service Awards Fund will help us ensure that we can highlight the selfless and caring
spirit volunteers show to others. There are six Award Sponsor opportunities available. We are
delighted that the General Motors Corporation and the Lear Corporation have generously committed
to being Award Sponsors and are hoping you will join them in supporting this event. Your support
will be showcased through several venues:
Branding and Name Recognition Opportunities

�•

<insert organization> name in the GSA section of the MCSC web page from January 2004November 2004.
<insert organization> name in the audio-visual presentation at the dinner highlighting the
GSA nominees.
<insert organization> identified as a GSA sponsor in statewide news releases.
<insert organization> highlighted as a sponsor by the event emcee.
Organizational Benefits
• A reserved seat for a <insert organization> representative at the Governor's table at the GSA
dinner.
• A <insert organization> representative will be on stage with Governor Granholm and First
Gentleman Mulhern to present the award you sponsor.
• A table seating eight will be reserved at the front of the room for additional <insert
organization> representatives.
• <insert organization> representatives are invited to the Governor's private reception prior to
the dinner.
The Michigan Community Service Commission (MCSC), the organization managing this event, has
established a special fund at the Capital Region Community Foundation to receive contributions for
the Governor's Service Awards. Your check in support of the Governor' s Service Awards should be
made payable to the Capital Region Community Foundation and will be deposited into this fund
upon receipt.
Enclosed for your convenience you will find the 2004 GSA Nomination Form and the roster of the
MCSC Commissioners. In addition to a financial contribution, we hope that you will nominate
volunteers for these awards.

Dear Colleagues in Public Service and Friends of Public Education:
I am delighted to share with you a summary of the testimony the House Education Subcommittee
on Service Learning and Civic Education received through a series of hearings held during our
fall 2003 session. The Committee received imponant insights on issues facing our public
education system. We also were able to garner a number of key suggestions that may enhance
and support the work of our educators.
It is clear that there are a number of challenges and opportUnities that everyone can address. In
this document you will find helpful insight into the civic education of our youth and the potential
for service learning to help increase the quality of learning in our classrooms and our
communities.
This dialogue is important as we see that there are three powerful forces-accountability for
results, fmancial constraints and public relevance-challenging our K-12 public education
system. Each has an important role to play in the development of our nation's future citizenry.
They force each of us to consider the role of education in our lives and those of our children.
Students and parents need to know that knowledge is absorbed and integrated so that they can
make good decisions based on imponant principles. The participants in our public education
system must act responsibly to ensure that they remain good stewards of the funds entrusted to
them to educate our children. Finally, the purpose of our public education system must be
constantly reinforced and supported in order to develop an informed and engaged citizenry. This
is the primary system by which we ensure the integrity and strength of our democracy.
The question we now face is whether we are effectively meeting the charge of that public
education purpose. There is significant debate on this question, as you will see in this summary.
There is also a powerful set of recommendations that will .help each of us detennine how best to
address all the aforementioned challenges.
Civic education is our best defense against a disengaged citizen who doesn't vote and does not
value a life of public service. Our children must learn at an early age that engagement in their
community is important and that there are key activities and systems they can use to address
local challenges. Service learning take the key academic goals and makes them real for srudents
by using service as a hands on strategy to demonstrate relevance and the role of an individual to
care for and about their community. Combined, civic education and service learning serve as
powerful forces to enhance learning and develop our nation's leaders.
�I hope you find this summary helpful as we all work together to help our children learn and grow
in a strong and vibrant society. I would like to thank Representative Brian Palmer, Chair of the
House Education Committee, for appointing our subcomnrlnee and lending his leadership and
suppon to our work. I would also like to thank my colleagues-Representatives Stahl, Vander
Veen. Clack, Hopgood-for their participation and support.

Chair, House Education Subcommittee on Service Learning and Civic Education
�State of Civic Education and Service Learning in Michigan
Summary of Statewide Hearings
of the
Michigan House Subcommittee on Service-Learning
and Civic Education
During the past four years, the field of education in general and K-12 specifically, has
focused on the core purposes of our nation's public education system. You can find this
dialogue in the publication of a number of studies and reports addressing the need for and
impact of service-learning and civic education. Three of these studies have had a direct
impact on both service-learning and civic education including:
• Every Student A Citizen: Creating the Democratic Self, issued by the Education
Commission of the States
• Learning in Deed: The Power of Service-Learning for American Schools, issued
by the National Commission on Service-Learning
• The Civic Mission of Schools, a report from the Carnegie Corporation of New
York and the Center for Information & Research on Civic Learning &
Engagement (CIRCLE)
Each of these studies documents the strategies and benefits of service-learning and civic
education.
With these documents as a foundation, Michigan State Representative Doug Hart
requested and was granted the Subcommittee on Service-Learning and Civic Education.
This five-member committee 1called upon the Michigan Community Service
Commission (MCSC) to assist in gathering input on how these two issues are impacting
Michigan schools and its students.
The MCSC undertook the task of convening six hearings throughout the state and sought
testimony from national, state and local experts in these fields . In all, 47 individuals2
testified before the members of the Subcommittee. The following is a summary of the
key recommendations made during the hearings.
Overall, the recommendations can be categorized into the following seven major themes:
1. Include the social studies in the MERIT award and promote the importance of the
social studies MEAP.
2. Every effort should be made to utilize existing resources and partnerships that
have a long track record of results.
3. Every effort must be made to support public education. Do not cut school
budgets. Stress the need for efficient use of available resources.

See Appendix 1 for list of Subcommittee members.
See Appendix 2 for the list of speakers.
�4. Call on the U.S. Congress to do more to provide states with greater resources to
improve and expand service-learning.
5. Invest in sound, rigorous research that will advance service-learning statewide as
well as nationally.
6. Provide additional funds to support teachers' professional development so that
they can embrace new ideas that will promote service-learning and civic
education.
7. Create and support meaningful decision making roles for youth in servicelearning initiatives at every level.
Testimony Related to Recommendations
1. Include the social studies in the MERIT award and promote the importance of
the social studies MEAP.
Karen Todorov, Social Studies Consultant-Michigan Department of Education
We need your support and the action of the Michigan legislature to appropriate
professional development funds to aid organizations that are working to promote
engaged civic education.
We need the support of the Michigan Legislature to include the social studies in
the MERIT award and to promote the importance of the social studies MEAP.
Including the social studies in MERIT is logical and would help support the
teaching and learning of civic issues in high school.
Linda Start, Executive Director-Center for Civic Education through Law
Continue the support for the Michigan Core Academic Curriculum and MEAP
testing. Instead of initiating any new requirements, revisit the pertinent standards,
if necessary. If there is going to continue to be a merit scholarship, make sure that
social studies is included with the other subjects.
Thomas Costello, Social Studies Teacher-Longfellow Middle School
Teaching Civics Education is critical to forming the bases of an informed public
able to function and contribute in a changing world.
(Michigan) House Bill 4170 would include Social Studies in the MEAP Merit
Scholarship. Support of this legislation would send the message that Social
Studies including Civics Education are important for our students, parents,
educators, and citizens ofthe State ofMichigan.
2
�Michael Yocum, Director of Learning Services-Oakland Schools
Recommend continuing support for the inclusion of social studies in the Michigan
Core Academic Curriculum and MEAP testing. Due to the No Child Left Behind
legislation there is significant work being done in mathematics and language arts
to give more careful and clearer definition to the expectations for students in the
Michigan Curriculum Framework. This work needs to occur in social studies so
that the standard will be more useful to schools and will continue to serve as the
linchpin for efforts intended to support civic education
Include the social studies in the Merit Award program. The exclusion of it sends a
powerful message to students, teachers, schools and the public about what is
important in the education of our young people.
Jerry F. Givan, Social Studies Teacher-Young Magnet Middle School
The MEAP test, not the ACT should be the vehicle used to measure
proficiency ofMichigan's students.
Continue your support of the HB 4170 and support for adding social studies to
the Merit Award.
Heather Reid, Teacher- Loy Norrix High School
My recommendations are that we value social studies and civic education.
Make it a priority that ifthere is testing- social studies are included. lfthere is
a Merit Award-social studies are included.
Other General Recommendations
Continue the support for the Michigan Core Academic Curriculum and MEAP
testing. Instead of initiating any new requirements, revisit the pertinent standards, if
necessary.
National Scene
Education Commission of the States, "Every Student A Citizen: Creating the
Democratic Self"
"Include social studies, civics and government courses, stories and lessons that
teach the traditions of how ordinary citizens have created real and lasting social
change."
John Glenn and Leslie Hergert, Letters to the Next President
First, we must explicitly embrace civic education as an essential purpose of
education. We must go back to our roots.
3
�The Civic Mission of Schools, A report from the Carnegie Corporation ofNew
York and CIRCLE: The Center for Information and Research on Civic Learning
and Engagement
Standards should be implemented for civic education. This can be done by 1)
more frequently offering the National Assessment of Educational Progress's
(NAEP) Civics Assessment, in states as well as nationally, and/or 2) reexamining
existing state social studies and civic education standards with a goal of ensuring
that the promising approaches and goals of civic education outlined in this report
are realized by the establishment of supportive standards and curricular policies.
2. Every effort should be made to utilize existing resources and partnerships that
have a long track record of results.
Russ Mawby, Chair Emeritus and Trustee WK. Kellogg Foundation
We seek your (Legislatures) support in driving Learning To Give deep into our
education system. It is a win-win opportunity for teachers to access free,
interactive, and proven learning tools while addressing the learning goals of our
K-12 education system.
It is also a natural fit for fme public servants like you, to promote this tool as a
way of weaving a stronger civic community fabric through our education system
- one of the original purposes of our public system.
Nelda Brown, Executive Director- State Education Agency K-12 Service-Learning
Network
Learn from the success and challenges of others.
Do not overlook the great examples of "State-Level Leadership At Work" right in
your own backyard. The Michigan Community Service Commission's investment
in conducting scientifically based research and evaluation will no doubt advance
service-learning statewide as well as nationally.
Adrian Davis, National Consultant-National Board for Professional Teaching
Standards
Legislatures must ensure that all schools develop networks that consist of other
community organizations so kids are exposed to the complex array of
government, private, and nonprofit entities that make up our society.
4
�Through the Michigan Core Academic Curriculum and establishing networks all
districts should be encouraged to incorporate civic education and service-learning
into the daily activities of all students.
Dottie Johnson, Board Member- Corporation for National and Community
Service and Trustee, WK. Kellogg Foundation
Work with school boards and parent-teacher organizations to make civics
education a priority. Math, reading, and science are important. .. but they are not
more important than retaining our way of life.
Provide stable funding for core operating expenses for key student development
organizations and educational opportunities within school and after school. Fundraising should still occur, but only government can provide the stable
infrastructure of funding to key organizations. Stable funding is the literal
investment that says: "Educating students for citizenship is important to
democracy"- more than lip service, --money on the table.
Provide a politically neutral place for all interested stakeholders to come together,
to bring resources, to attain a common vision for Michigan students.
Bill Dimond, Kalamazoo Sunrise Rotary Club
I encourage you to engage the business community and service organizations such
as Rotary International.
Other General Recommendations
Work with school boards and parent-teacher organizations to make civics
education a priority.
Support the work of the Michigan Community Service Commission as their work
supports the implementation of service-learning throughout the state. With their
leadership, the movement grows.
Encourage student participation in some form ·o f service, student government, and
civic team activity for each student- every year.
National Scene
Education Commission of the States, "Every Student A Citizen: Creating the
Democratic Self"
Establish a national dialogue among organizations working on these issues,
focused on how to engage young people in political action.
5
�3. Every effort must be made to support public education. Do not cut school
budgets. Stress the need for efficient use of available resources.
Lynn Kleiman-Malinoff- Research & Development Specialist- Wayne Westland
Community School Districts
Increase resources in the community and schools for after school and summer
programs that use service-learning as a key strategy to engage youth.
Provide more opportunities for Leader Schools within Michigan as well as
develop a Michigan Leader School model so that alternative and traditional
schools can learn from those schools that have some expertise with servicelearning.
4. Call on the U.S. Congress to do more to provide states with greater resources to
improve and expand service-learning.
Jerry Seese- Superintendent-Saginaw Township Community Schools
In order to cause these programs (service-learning programs) to evolve, a system
has to be in place to ensure that requirements are implemented. Additional funds
are necessary to make this happen. State and local communities are dependent on
funding to bring these programs to fruition. I'm asking that you consider funding
Service-Learning Programs at the level necessary to have a significant impact on
the students and adults in Michigan.
Anne Brow, Elementary-Teacher-Glen Lake Community School
I would recommend that your committee consider the importance of additional
money to support teacher's professional development so that they can embrace
new ideas that will promote civic education and service-learning.
Minnie Pearce, Board Member- National Commission on Service Learning
The final report of the Commission entitled Learning in Deed makes specific
recommendations:
Increase policy, program and financial supports for service-learning in K-12
education. To achieve this you must:
a. Expand and leverage existing programs and funding streams.
b. Build service-learning into the regular school activities.
c. Fund and expand research to document service-learning outcomes
and improve practice.
6
�Nelda Brown, Executive director- State Education Agency K-12 Service-Learning
Network
Investing in sound, rigorous research is a critical leadership step more states must
take. As state legislators, call on the U.S. Congress to do more to provide states
with greater resources to improve and expand service-learning.
Lynn Kleiman-Malinoff, Research & Development Specialist-Way ne Westland
Community School District
Support public education. Do not cut our budgets. When you do, programs (like
alternative education) that address the needs of students will suffer.
Increase funding and training resources in the alternative education setting for
service-learning.
Dottie Johnson, Board Member- Corporation for National and Community
Service and Trustee, WK. Kellogg Foundation
Provide stable funding for core operating expenses for key student development
organizations and educational opportunities within school and after school. Fundraising should still occur, but only government can provide the stable
infrastructure of funding to key organizations. Stable funding is the literal
investment that says: "Educating students for citizenship is important to
democracy"- more than lip service, --money on the table.
Other General Recommendations
Provide stable funding for core operating expenses for student development
organizations and educational opportunities within school and after school (fundraising should still occur, but only government can provide the stable
infrastructure of funding to key organizations).
National Scene
Th e Civic Mission of Schools, A report from the Carnegie Corporation of New
York and CIRCLE: The Center for Information and Research on Civic Learning
and Engagement
The federal government should increase the amount of federal funding available
to states for civic education. The government should further consider establishing
a new federal entity with responsibility for civic education which would
commission research on civic education, encourage the development of model
programs, help design and implement curricula, and serve as a national
clearinghouse on civic education for teachers and schools across the country.
7
�5. Invest in sound, rigorous research that will advance service-learning statewide as
well as nationally.
Amy Smitter, Executive Director-Michigan Campus Compact
I want to recommend that we undertake a state civic assessment of Michigan. This
will permit us to have the facts on which to educate for and see clearly where the
gaps in civic education are taking place.
Nelda Brown, Executive director- State Education Agency K-12 Service-Learning
Network
Investing in sound, rigorous research is a critical leadership step more states must
take.
National Scene
Th e Civic Mission of Schools, A report from the Carnegie Corporation of New
York and CIRCLE: The Center for Information and Research on Civic Learning
and Engagement
Researchers should develop and implement more rigorous studies (including
longitudinal research) about effective service-learning and other civic education
approaches. Researchers should also develop indicators for civic knowledge,
skills, and attitudes at each phase of K -12 schooling.
6. Provide additional funds to support teachers' professional development so that
they can embrace new ideas that will promote civic education and service-learning.
Anne Brow, Elementary- Teacher-Glen Lake Community School
I would recommend that your committee consider the importance of additional
money to support teacher's professional development so they can embrace new
ideas that promote civic education and service-learning.
Karen Todorov, Social Studies Consultant-Michigan Department of Education
Supporting professional development through organizations which are set up to
provide service, means that allocated money would be directed towards
improving the quality of civic teaching and learning in Michigan, not in setting up
institutions whose life span is determined by limited funding.
8
�Minnie Pearce, Board Member- National Commission on Service Learning
Develop a comprehensive system of professional development regarding servicelearning. Some specific objectives should be to:
a. Make service-learning part of all pre-service preparation and
accreditation programs for teachers and administrators.
b. Provide ongoing in-service professional development on servicelearning for teachers at all levels, from novice to veteran.
c. Create multi-media professional development resources, including
more web-based resources for teachers.
Lynn Kleiman-Malinoff, Research & Development Specialist-Wayne Westland
Community School District
Require education students who seek their teaching credentials to take a class in
service-learning methodology.
Dottie Johnson, Board Member- Corporation for National and Community
Service and Trustee, WK. Kellogg Foundation
Provide additional incentives to schools and teachers for supporting the cocurricular and extra-curricular, service-learning, and experiential activities that
develop sound character and good citizenship. Encourage student participation in
some form of service, student government, and civic team activity for each
student- every year.
National Scene
The Civic Mission of Schools, A report from the Carnegie Corporation of New
York and CIRCLE: The Center for Information and Research on Civic Learning
and Engagement
Schools ofEducation should strengthen the civic dimensions of pre-service and
in-service education for teachers and administrators. Those who are already
working in schools should also be offered the opportunity to acquire continuing
education credits related to civic education so that they can become more skilled
at inculcating the civic knowledge, skills, and attitudes students need to become
responsible and engaged citizens.
7. Create and support meaningful decision making roles for youth in servicelearning initiatives at every level.
Jeffery J Miller, Policy Analyst, Center for Learning and Citizenship
9
�Providing authentic leadership roles for young people in the development of
public policy at all levels.
Minnie Pearce, Board Memb er- National Commission on Service Learning
a. Support adults in giving students real authority, responsibility, and
accountability for developing service-learning initiatives.
b. Create and support meaningful decision making roles for youth in servicelearning initiatives at every level.
c. Expand and support a national network of youth leaders for service-learning.
Lynn Kleiman-Malinoff, Research & Development Specialist-Wayne Westland
Community School District
The communities gain from the resources that students provide and from the
reduction in negative, sometimes expensive and destructive behaviors. Our
community becomes stronger each time a school or community-based
organization uses service-learning to engage students in a positive way in their
communities.
National Scene
The Civic Mission of Schools, A report from the Carnegie Corporation of New
York and CIRCLE: The Center for Information and Research on Civic Learning
and Engagement
Active learning opportunities that offer students the change to engage in
discussions of issues and take part in activities that can help put a "real life"
perspective on what is learned in class. These activities can range from
collaborative or independent research projects and presentations to simulations,
mock trials and elections, service-learning projects, and participation in the
student government.
Education Commission of the States, "Every Student A Citizen: Creating the
Democratic Self"
Implement programs of community outreach to involve community groups in
creating democratic learning environments in all schools, giving careful
consideration to restructuring measures that make it possible for students to
participate in decision making activities and governance.
