He firmly believes that better educated students have a greater chance for success and will be more productive citizens. Hart was elected in November 1998 to represent the 73rd District, which encompasses the Rockford area in northern Kent County. In 1999, Doug founded The Civics Institute (TCD to impart civics and government knowledge to students. TCI includes a virtual Michigan learning resource center for government teachers, two online Michigan governance courses, and a single semester internship program in the Michigan Legislature. An offshoot of TCI, the Michigan House Civics Commission, teaches students about the legislative process and gives them a voice in the Michigan Legislature. A Speakers Bureau features House and Senate employees who voluntarily visit classrooms and share their legislative knowledge with students. The commission consists of a bipartisan group oflawmakers engaging students in research, discussion, writing and testimony about the issues. The students are encouraged to advocate what they believe would be good policy or legislation. Since December 2002, the panel has held 14 public hearings within Michigan's K-12 schools. As a result of a hearing at a Forest Hills Middle School in Grand Rapids, the Legislature proclaimed October as "Student Backpack Safety Month," and Gov. Jennifer Granholm signed it. Several students testified before the commission, basing their arguments on a study by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission describing the injuries students sustained from carrying heavy backpacks. The study found that in 1999, 3,400 pupils ages 5 to 14 sought treatment in hospital emergency rooms for injuries related to heavy backpacks and bookbags. Other ideas proposed by Michigan House Civics Commission students included legislation to deal with Cell phone towers on school property, bike paths on busy roads, speed bumps in new neighborhoods and bus stop safety. "This is just what we had in mind when we established the civics commission," Hart said. "It is great to see students working hard to make a difference in state government. I've been impressed with the quality and quantity of good ideas presented by our students." As a state lawmaker, Rep. Hart has distinguished himself in other areas as well. During his first four years in the legislature, Rep. Hart chaired the powerful House Family and Children Services Committee. In this position, Hart shepherded several large and complicated legislative packages through the Michigan House of Representatives. �Due to Rep. Hart's energy, vision and leadership, numerous historic reforms were made to Michigan's welfare, child support, and child protection systems. For his first two terms in the legislature, Doug Hart was known as the primary welfare policy expert and leader in the Michigan House ofRepresentatives. Since leaving his position on the House Family and Children Services Committee, Representative Hart has taken the leading role in the legislature on state K -16 service learning and civic education issues. The success that has come to fruition - the opportunity to get students enthused and excited about civics - is what inspired Hart to run for office. Doug has long demonstrated great political passion and involvement, starting in his boyhood when he volunteered with several west Michigan lawmakers. He gained first hand knowledge of the legislative process by working as a legislative aide to former state Rep. Jack Horton of Kent County. Doug received his B.A. degree in communication as well as a teaching certificate, from Calvin College. He has served on the board of directors of the Kent Service Center, as well as on the board of the Servants Center in Grant Rapids, an outreach center for urban youth that offers services such as job training, crisis intervention and counseling. Doug and his wife, Carolyn, have one son, three-year-old Justin, and reside in Rockford. He regards helping others as simply an obligation of his faith, and he finds it both challenging and rewarding. "Public service, in the broadest sense, has been a priority since I was young," Hart said. "I mean more than just serving as an elected official- I mean serving other people students, people living in my neighborhood, the entire community. We're all in this together."

We are working to get this instilled in schools and the legislature to forward the Governor's service hours requirement piece . So far we have made good progress at laying the ground work, but we still have much work to do. We have asked that Doug name a successor to the committee on Service Learning and Civic Education and Rep . Hopgood has agreed . Our focus now will be to work toward integrating some of the lessons we have learned and policies that we see as supportive into the education as well as the legislative arenas . Tim Hughes has been involved and Tom Watkins as well. We will change the agenda to reflect Doug's presence (he'll arrive at about 1:00 p.m .) and be sure that he understands that we have a pretty full agenda. Thanks .

Opportunities For Michigan's �MICHIGAN CITIZEN CoRPS CITIZEN CoRPS PROGRAMS Michigan Citizen Corps helps communities coordinate volunteers to prepare for and respond to local emergencies. It trains and engages volunteers to make communities safer, stronger, and better prepared to respond to emergencies and disasters of all kinds , including threats of terrorism , natural disasters, crime , public health issues, etc. Citizen Corps are especially important during major disasters when first responders may be initially overwhelmed. Citizen Corps activities are adapted to every community's need and managed locally by a Citizen Corps Council (see Citizen Corps Programs). The Michigan Citizen Corps encourages communities to engage every citizen in homeland security efforts. Individuals can get involved in a variety of ways : Citizen Corps Councils are local community leaders that provide direction on issues relating to homeland security. These Councils, which include volunteer organizations , first responders , (fire , police, and emergency management professionals), and others prepare their community to handle any type of disaster or crisis situation. www.citizencorps.gov/councils Personal Responsibility . Everyone should have a household preparedness plan that includes disaster supply kits , observing home health and safety practices, implementing disaster mitigation measures, and participating in fire/crime prevention and reporting. Community Emergency Response Training (CERT) Program trains people to be better prepared to respond to emergency situations in their community. When emergencies happen , CERT members can give critical support to first responders , provide immediate assistance to victims , and organize spontaneous volunteers at a disaster site. www. training. fema.gov/emiweb/cert Medical Reserve Corps coordinates volunteer health professionals, as well as other citizens , to provide ongoing support for community public health needs and resources during large-scale emergencies so they are prepared to assist during large-scale local emergencies. www.medicalreservecorps. gov Neighborhood Watch Program utilizes community volunteers , law enforcement, and other local organizations to help protect neighborhoods. www.usaonwatch.org Volunteers in Police Service provides resources to assist local law enforcement officials incorporate community volunteers into the activities of law enforcement agencies. www.policevolunteers.org Training.

Welcome and Introduction - Chairperson Mulhern Commissioner Mike Makki welcomed everyone to ACCESS and gave a brief overview of the facility. He then introduced Ismael Ahmed, Executive Director, ACCESS, who welcomed everyone and introduced several ACCESS department heads and explained what their roles are. He described their AmeriCorps*VISTA program. ACCESS is 33 years old and started as a small storefront to help neighborhood citizens. This year ACCESS will open case records on 50,000 people in 70 programs and serve 500,000 contacts with people that don't open case records but need programs in cultural, food and shelter. ACCESS works with other communities across the city and state and has also began to work with programs nationally. AmeriCorps*VISTA has been a part of ACCESS for the past 12 years, developing new programs, helping projects that ACCESS couldn't afford to get done in the neighborhood, particularly with young people, and helping to educate new immigrants. Mr. Ahmed introduced Karen Rignall and she explained how ACCESS is working with communities around the country to get ArabAmericans involved in building their communities. The AmeriCorps*VISTA program is giving a jumpstart to efforts in organizing Arab-American communities to make sure they have access to services they need including social services, after-school services and parenting classes. The meeting was called to order at 12:15 p.m. by Chairperson Mulhern. Chairperson Mulhern welcomed everyone to the meeting and asked the Commissioners to introduce themselves and to share how long they've been with the Commission. II. Review and Approval of September 11-12, 2003 Minutes - Chairperson Mulhern Chairperson Mulhern asked for a motion to approve the minutes from the September 11-12, 2003 board meeting. Commissioner Mawby moved to approve the minutes, Commissioner Pickard seconded the motion. The motion passed unanimously. 2 �III. Review ofMCSC Mission and Goals- Chairperson Mulhern and Kyle Caldwell A. Review Goals and Draft Mission Statement - Chairperson Mulhern Chairperson Mulhern discussed the new proposed vision statement. There was a great deal of discussion about this at the retreat and great conversations that pointed out a reciprocal nature and how to build a culture where people serve and are served in the process and stimulate other people to service and volunteerism and that they feel it is fulfilling for themselves. The proposed vision statement is a reflection of that and a melding of prophetic and visionary role and a practice notion of what we do. The proposed vision statement reads: "Building a culture of service by providing vision and resources to strengthen communities through volunteerism." Chairperson Mulhern felt it was a happy blend but is open to conversation about the statement. He asked for any questions or comments. With no questions, Chairperson Mulhern asked for a motion to accept the new vision statement. Commissioner O'Day moved to approve the new vision statement, Commissioner Seese supported. The motion passed unanimously. B. Overview ofMCSC Scope of Work - Kyle Caldwell Chairperson Mulhern asked Kyle Caldwell to outline the goals for the upcoming year. Kyle explained that the idea of going through goal-setting with what the MCSC has gone through in the past year is almost crazy but found it was a good exercise because it taught us the value of what we are doing. Mr. Caldwell gave a powerpoint presentation with an overview of the organization in the last 18 months, where we are budget wise, and where we're going. The MCSC organization consists of four elements working all at once. The bulk of what the MCSC does in both scale and time is a grantmaking organization. We deliver grants but also help with evaluation, getting quality programs, dealing with monitoring and oversight, but also how to grow and build capacity of those programs that receive funds. The next layer is we convene innovative volunteer programs and efforts to finding opportunities. These Mentor Michigan summits are an example of how to convene people to talk out the issues for the non-profit sector. What do they need around volunteers and how the MCSC can help through grantmaking, other activities, and leadership to really make things happen. The third level is the MCSC recognizes those things that are exemplary service both on the individual and organization basis with the Governor's Service Awards and Mentoring Summits. The pinnacle the MCSC is trying to build towards is encouraging people to volunteer. All of the other things help support that. Mr. Caldwell explained that the MCSC is a state government organization that promotes and supports a variety of different volunteer efforts. It is govern by a Governor appointed board and administers state and federal funds with the bulk being federal funding. It also is a provider of statewide recognition of exemplary volunteers. 3 �When you look at the MCSC programs, it breaks out into some basic areas. AmeriCorps deals with human needs, education, public safety, and environment all in the context of an AmeriCorps program working in a team at a grassroots level. The AmeriCorps members receive a stipend and education award for their term of service. Citizen Corps, which is one of the newer federal programs to MCSC, focuses on homeland security, citizen preparedness, and community organizing at the grassroots level. Learn & Serve - working with young people (K-12) to encourage the idea of service to communities but also using it as a way of doing hands-on learning with kids. This program is administered with the Department of Education. It involves more than 33,000 students annually. Volunteer Investment Grants is an endowment building program for volunteer resource centers across the state that has leveraged almost $6 million in endowments for volunteer centers so that they can continue their work. It's one of a kind in the nation, no other state is doing this. It is focusing on the longterm capacity of volunteer resource organizations. Mentor Michigan is the newest program and Paula Kaiser will talk more about this later. This is one of the MCSC's biggest priorities given the interest of the Governor, First Gentleman, and all ofthe Commissioners. The goal is building capacity to help and encourage individuals to mentor and focuses on the mentoring nonprofit organizations. The Governor's Service Awards (GSA) is an annual recognition program. This year the GSA dinner will be in conjunction with the MCSC board meeting on May 24. It is awarded to volunteers for their exemplary service and this year is coupling with the Volunteerism SuperConference. When you look at MCSC programs by percentage, 94% of funds are federal. The largest single program is AmeriCorps with 51% of programming funding, 28% goes to Citizen Corps because that is a new and growing pool of funds, 15% for Learn and Serve, only 6% is state funding and that's for the Volunteer Investment Grants (that is more than several other states throughout the country) and Mentor Michigan hasn't been determined yet. When you look at the profile of the budget, it's weighted pretty heavily towards the federal initiatives. Mr. Caldwell went through the difference in the program funding between 2002 and 2003: AmeriCorps went from $6.2 million to $2.2 million; Citizen Corps went from $444,785 to $1.3 million; Learn & Serve $879,770 to $700,000; VIG started out at $780,000 and went down to $280,000 this year. The MCSC is still doing an immense amount of work and staff are to be heralded for the work that 4 �they're doing with shrinking resources. It is getting to places that it's not been before and doing some great things across the state so there's a lot to be proud of. Impact numbers: In 2002 AmeriCorps had 696 members with 24 programs and there will be 300 members this year with the number oflocations yet to be determined. Citizen Corps will be in 18 communities compared to six last year. The outlook for next year will be the ground breaking for Mentor Michigan. It's very exciting to see the work from the summits and the people were very excited about mentoring. There will be some restoration of AmeriCorps funding as $100 million was restored back into the budget for 2004. Hopefully the MCSC will see about a 25% increase in what we're able to do for next year for AmeriCorps. There is increased interest in Service-Learning and in February Representative Doug Hart will speak about the hearings that Diana Algra and the ServiceLearning team helped to facilitate over the course of the fall. There will be increased resources for Citizen Corps. It's going to be a growing part of the MCSC portfolio for a couple of years which is the federal trend. There will be continued budgetary restraints. The state economy is going to be slow in corning around. There will be increased pressure in workload because the workforce is not going to grow even though the MCSC programming and the kind of work we do is going to expand. Mr. Caldwell then discussed the goals for 03-04. The major goal for the organization this year is to get Mentor Michigan integrated into the Commission and it's programming. It's not a difficult challenge but for the first time we will take all of our program areas and focus on a type ofvolunteerism and that is a shift for the organization. This gives us the opportunity to do programming a little deeper in an area. Again, the MCSC has been general volunteerism for over a decade and now will be focusing down a little bit on one type ofvolunteerism. We need to examine the role of national service, we need to focus the staff on developing Mentor Michigan, and we're going to have to align our programs, including Governor's Service Awards. The MCSC will develop a long-range plan based on the Governor's goal of 10,000 mentors; determine an overall goal based on what we want to do this year specifically and then 4-15 years out; access the needs of communities as was done with the six mentoring summits and focus on the five areas to work on; develop an awareness campaign (January is National Mentoring Month); gather practioners to advise our work; and gamer resources to support those efforts. Mr. Caldwell explained the goals for AmeriCorps. Two years ago the biggest concern was ifthe President doubles or triples the size of AmeriCorps will there be the ground capacity to administer that and the ability to handle that scope of demand. Those were the plans that year. Then came the train wreck of the trust. All of our goals were expansion and we had the reality of contraction that we weren't ready for. So mid-summer the Senior Staff outlined the new goals: get this national thing fixed, get the federal funding restored, get this mess off the 5 �radar, and get back to the goals of our agenda. We've seen that. There' s a new CEO at CNCS, $100 million more in the FY04 budget for AmeriCorps specifically, the goal of training in FY05 budget will have a larger increase for AmeriCorps and other things, the national area is focused on the communitiesnot the administration. The communities are saying this needs to get fixed and this is how we want it fixed because of a grassroots community movement that we started. The Corporation is now listening to the field and that is a fundamental shift in this program. Mr. Caldwell outlined the goals for AmeriCorps: • Continue to increase the level of funding for AmeriCorps and continue the advocacy work at the state and federal level. • Align and encourage existing grantees toward mentoring - we put in the new application for AmeriCorps that this is a new and very clear priority. • Increase and restore the number of AmeriCorps programs - we're looking at a 25 % growth from the 300 this year to next year; maintain program support. • Broaden the exposure of program efforts including bringing Commissioners to the AmeriCorps programs so that there is more interaction on the ground. Citizen Corps: • Triple the number of Citizen Corps councils. Currently there are 18 councils. The goal is to have 50 by the end ofthe year. • Work with existing and new councils to include all Citizen Corps programs. • Establish a CERT academy and integrate it into the Community College system. • Quadruple the number ofCERT trainers across the state. There are currently 100 trainers. Volunteer Investment Grants: • Align grant-making with mentoring priorities. • Re-acquire some of the previous years ' funding levels- $280,000 is a number we need to grow from. • Develop partnerships in corporate and philanthropic sector to see if we can infuse more resources into this program and provide more support. • Establish a data collection method to determine impact ofVIG. Currently we can tell you how much is invested but we can't tell you how many lives have been impacted. Learn and Serve: • Broaden the leadership and dialogue. The Learn and Serve team has been working to get policy makers involved and working with the State Superintendents through their association. • Secure increased levels of funding. • Secure and disseminate research on the effectiveness. This spring there should be data available on a study that has been done on service learning and MEAP scores. 6 �• • Develop a resource library for service-learning advocates to use but also for best practices. Develop a recognition program (Service Learning Award). Governor's Service Awards: • Increase the number of nominations. • Host a statewide recognition event (this year at the Volunteerism SuperConference). • Defray costs of GSA with fundraising. Mr. Caldwell explained that General Motors has sponsored $10,000 for GSA and thanked Commissioner Pickard for her help. • Secure media partners. • Broaden the support for GSA. Mr. Caldwell explained that the goals were compiled from the work from the retreat. Also, staff determined what they had going on and the things they needed to work on as well. So when you look at the goals, some are from the Commissioners comments and some are from the staff taking it to the next level. Chairperson Mulhern asked if any Commissioners had comments on the goals. Commissioner Newport stated that he like the goal statements that were compiled but was also anxious of looking beyond the immediate year. Is there any hope that we can look out to 2-year goals as opposed to the immediate year that we are halfway through. Mr. Caldwell stated that the answer is yes. For instance, Mentor Michigan. We can take the goal out for 3-4 years. We tried to talk about program specific goals. But external courses changed every single goal. We need to begin to take on these larger goals and see how elements can help support that. The vision statement is building a culture of service. What are the elements needed to build this culture of service and where do we want to begin to take that on? At the next retreat the board is going to have to look at the vision statement and see what kind of elements they want to see. Commissioner Pickard felt that the comments and recommendations regarding the Governor's Service Awards were looking at long term as far as making it an event that is meaningful. She also commended the staff for following up to comments that were made at the retreat. Commissioner Swain asked whether programs were going to have a problem shifting their focus to mentoring. Mr. Caldwell explained that mentoring was made a priority but that it wasn't the only priority. For many ofthe existing programs it wasn't a very big stretch because many of them are already working with schools and children. It did focus new applicants into an arena that we've not been before to get them to focus on mentoring. In the staff recommendations we did not say that if you weren't focused on mentoring, you weren't in. It was quality first. Paula Kaiser stated that of the 23 programs that filed Intent to Apply forms, 15 ofthose indicated that they are focused on mentoring. 7 �Commissioner Comer asked why there wasn't a goal set for the number of mentors recruited. Mr. Caldwell explained that there isn't a way to track the number of mentors yet but that Mentor Michigan is laying the foundation for being able to track that number. Chair Mulhern explained that Mentor Michigan has been recruiting this year via churches, the summits, etc., so it would be nice to account for what we've been doing. As a philosophical manner, he believes we need a goal even as we're trying to identify how we count. Commissioner Faris explained that when the invites were going out for the Mentoring Summits it was difficult to determine how many mentoring programs actually exist. There is not a measuring stick and there is not an organization that can tell you how many mentoring programs are out there, what they're doing, and how many kids lives have been affected by mentoring. The programs are looking at Mentor Michigan to begin to provide that data. Chairperson Mulhern stated that through the Mentor Summits the question was asked what measures are needed for tracking. Chairperson Mulhern said that we will push towards what we're going to measure and how many we're going to have by February and then we can establish as Commissioners what can help drive us to get there. Commissioner Newport asked about the future of the funding for VIG. Mr. Caldwell explained that due to the great work that volunteer centers have done under the leadership of Volunteer Centers ofMichigan he believes that the funding will still be there. But the economic forces of the state budget makes it a possibility for elimination. It's going to be where if falls in the priorities. We know the Governor supports it. Mr. Caldwell feels there is a 50/50 chance for VIG. Commissioner Pardoe mentioned regarding Service-Learning that she would like to see the Commission more connected with the Youth Advisory Council (YAC). She suggested a possible presentation at our February meeting so that Commissioners understand what they are doing. Mr. Caldwell gave more background on the Y AC and it's relationship under the Commission. He mentioned that he will have Angelia Salas or Jeanine Yard, who work with the council, invite them to the February meeting to do a presentation. Commissioner Pellegrino suggested that there needs to be more corporate support for Governor's Service Awards and agreed to help get corporate sponsors. Commissioner Makki also greed to help with sponsorship for the dinner. It could be a great way to raise funds to support the Commission. Commissioner Pickard stated that this event is a great way to showcase corporate support for volunteerism. Chairperson Mulhern stated that he will work with Kyle and the MCSC staff on making the goals a little clearer and trying to add some numbers where possible and will discuss it at the February 9 board meeting. 8 �N. Executive Director's Report - Kyle Caldwell A. Mentor Michigan Paula Kaiser discussed Mentor Michigan and stated that it is an initiative led by the Governor and First Gentleman to work to ensure that all youth have ongoing relationships with stable, caring individuals. The PR tag line being used is "Mentor Michigan - awakening and nurturing the amazing potential in youth." The belief is that every child has a right to a caring adult; that everyone is responsible for the well-being of our children including organizations like businesses, colleges and universities, schools, non-profits, faith-based organizations; and volunteering is a significant way for people to enrich their lives by giving of themselves to children in their communities. The vision is a Michigan where all children are nurtured and supported and where all children grow into a caring and contributing adult. The MCSC is partnering with the Volunteer Centers ofMichigan with the 1-800-Volunteer number. This will enable an adult or child to call that number and get connected to a mentoring organization. The MCSC is defining mentoring by using the National Mentoring Partnership ' s defmition of"a structured and trusting relationship that brings young people together with caring individuals who offer guidance, support and encouragement aimed at developing the competence and character of the mentee." This information was shared at the six mentoring summits. There are four different kinds of mentoring including traditional (one adult/one child), peer mentoring (older child/younger child), group mentoring (1 adult/4 children), and e-mentoring. Some facts regarding mentoring include 1.2% of all adults are involved with formal one-to-one mentoring, mentors in formal programs are most frequently ages 18-44, they are employed and have some college education, and non-whites and white mentors are equal in formal programs. Mentoring data includes 2.5 million children are being mentored nationally, 17.6 million could benefit from having a mentor, so only 14% of the kids that need mentors have them. Ms. Kaiser gave an update of what Mentor Michigan has done in the last three months : held 6 mentoring summits that engaged more than 1,100 participants across the state; launched the Mentor Michigan website (www.michigan.gov/mentor); launched a listserv where people in the mentoring community can sign-up and then communicate with other mentoring programs across the state and it's a way for us to share infonnation about funding opportunities or resources with them; collected information from more than 300 mentoring organizations through an on-line survey and are currently analyzing that data; modified the MCSC funding including AmeriCorps and VIG to include mentoring as a priority; and launched a lunch buddy program where 25 staff from the Governor' s office and MCSC are serving as mentors once a week at a school in Lansing. Ms. Kaiser shared what was learned from the summits: there are lots of mentoring programs throughout the state; there is significant interest from 9 �schools; programs are thrilled that there will be a state level umbrella that will provide leadership around mentoring because what was found was that many of the programs are mentoring but without any support from any national or statewide organizations; programs are looking for resources and support (including financial); and many of the local programs are not connected and did not know about each other and were not communicating. The MCSC had a list of 10 priorities and asked the participants at the summits to prioritize them and choose three priorities. The top five were: 1. Identify and secure resources to support the development and sustainability of programs. 2. To recruit talented and committed volunteers. 3. How to develop statewide and local partnerships to support mentoring by engaging corporations, faith-based organizations, colleges and universities, and government. 4. Increasing public awareness about mentoring opportunities, needs and the positive outcome associated with it. 5. Providing training and support for mentoring programs. Ms. Kaiser explained what is next for Mentor Michigan. January is National Mentoring Month and the MCSC is working with the First Gentleman's staff and aPR firm in Detroit to have radio and television PSA's that are national PSA's but will be localized to include a spot from the Governor and First Gentleman. It will be available to all the media promoting the 1-800-Volunteer number and asking people to consider mentoring. There will also be 100 billboards across the state that were donated. The MCSC is also creating a communications toolkit for the Mentor Michigan website that programs can download. It will include sample press releases, two letters from the Governor that the programs can use, a list of activities that the program may want to plan locally for National Mentoring Month, and tips with working with the media. The MCSC will be compiling a fmal report from the six summits. Through a partnership with Mary Pfeiler at the Corporation, the ConnectMichigan Alliance will be the recipient of a statewide VISTA program where there will be 25 VISTA's placed in teams of3-5 people in 5-8 communities. The application guidelines will be announced in January, sites will be selected in March, and VISTA's will be up and in place by July. They will be working in the 5-8 communities and focusing on the five priorities that came out of the summits. One measure that will come from the program will be every one ofthe 25 VISTA's will be responsible for recruiting 100 new mentors. The MCSC is also developing an evaluation system to track the growth of mentors but also to push beyond just counting the number of mentors and helping develop a tool that will help local programs evaluate the impact of their programs. The MCSC will also develop and secure funds to support Mentor Michigan. As Kyle Caldwell noted earlier, there isn't any money right now to administer the program. There was some unspent training money that paid for the summits. Before we move forward 10 �with new plans for the next year it will have to be determined how to gamer new resources. Even developing an evaluation and tracking system is going to cost money because there is not an internal capacity to develop a system that will be sophisticated enough and useful for all programs. Fundraising will be a priority at the beginning of the year. Other areas of priority will include launching a monthly electronic mentoring newsletter that people on the listserv will be receiving on an ongoing basis; providing ongoing training and support for mentoring programs; hosting a series of discussions with various sectors including higher education, faith-based, government and corporations to get them involved and to focus on that partnership to get them engaged; develop a framework to take a look at corporate and other sector involvement; helping to co-host a meeting of 600 faith leaders in February where the Governor will be addressing ministers and Mentor Michigan will be one ofthree initiatives addressed; surveying state agencies to find out what they currently are doing to support mentoring and if they are funding it and then will work with them in other ways that they can support it; promoting the 1-800Volunteer number; promoting a website Mentoring.org where you can type in your zip code to find mentoring opportunities; and developing a statewide directory of mentoring organizations across the state which will be available on the website once it is finalized. The MCSC will be looking at the information from the six summits and will be developing and revising the business plan accordingly. Commissioner Thomas asked what kind of best-practices information will be offered to mentoring groups and what will be the partnership with FlA. Ms. Kaiser explained that there are some national elements of effective practice for mentoring that were developed by the national experts in mentoring and were introduced to the participants at the summits. In future trainings, information will be provided that will address some of those elements such as how do you screen appropriately. The MCSC will be pointing them to some of the national resources that are available that people are not aware of. Ms. Kaiser also addressed the partnership with FIA and how mentoring may be one of the programs offered through the A YP relationship with the schools. Commissioner Parker suggested that Commissioners participate during National Mentoring Month in local press events and also possibly doing radio interviews to promote mentoring. Commissioner Pickard asked what the goal for raising funds for Mentor Michigan is. Paula Kaiser stated that it hasn't been determined. Commissioner Pickard was concerned about raising funds for Governor's Service Awards and Mentor Michigan at the same time and whether we could combine the fundraising efforts. Paula Kaiser answered by saying we could coordinate the efforts. The MCSC is starting to look at the 3-year plan for Mentor Michigan and what kind of resources 11 �need to be leveraged to support the plan. Who do we want to go to, because different from GSA, we may get support from a foundation to support broader administration things that we want to do. Commissioner Swain asked where the Governor appointed advisory council for Mentor Michigan stands. Ms. Kaiser stated that the Governor's office is soliciting names of those interested in serving on that advisory council. The thought is that it would be made up of practioners and experts in the mentoring field because the MCSC board will serve as the leadership board so the advisory council should be the eyes and ears to the ground in terms of those involved and that know a lot about mentoring. Mary Zatina stated that the advisory council may be announced in January but there has been a lot of discussion about what their role will be. Chairperson Mulhern thanked everyone for their help for the Mentoring Summits and the Commissioners that participated. He felt they were a tremendous success. 2. Service-Learning Diana Algra discussed the hearings of the Education Subcommittee on Service-Learning and Civic Education. She explained that each of the Commissioners were given a packet of information on the hearings. She stated that 4 7 speakers from the national, state, and local levels presented at the hearings around the state including some Commissioners. Members of the committee asked a lot of questions. There is a lot of excitement and interest generated by the hearings. The MCSC will continue to work with the subcommittee as Rep. Hart has some other ideas of convening additional groups for discussion including higher education, education associations, and superintendents. Kyle Caldwell thanked Diana Algra for her efforts with the hearings. Rep. Hart has asked Rep. Hopgood to continue the efforts because he is term limited. Rep Hart will also ask for the appointment of a blue ribbon committee to take up some ofthe information from the testimony and drive it further and to discuss the 10 key things needed to make service-learning and civic education work better. Diana Algra stated that Representative Doug Hart will be coming to the February board meeting to discuss some of the fmdings from the subcommittee hearings. Commissioner Mawby asked what the MCSC would like to come out of the hearings. Mr. Caldwell explained that the first goal was to get service learning on the radar of the legislators. The second goal was to take what we get from the experience and figure out what the field is saying they want and take it to whatever body wants to act. A concise list of recommendations were given at the last hearing by both Dan Mulhern and Dottie Johnson. What needs to happen is this needs to be recognized as a valid teaching methodology. 12 �Second, there needs to be some type of recognition given to the teachers that are doing it as a way of profiling and highlighting. At some point in the future resources are going to need to be devoted to this higher than what they are right now (currently there is $800,000 for service learning). And finally it needs a champion and leadership beyond the Commission and this is what the Governor is doing. B. Financial Report - Kyle Caldwell Mr. Caldwell discussed the financial statement dated December 1, 2003 that was distributed to the Commissioners. C. Staff Funding Recommendations - Kyle Caldwell 1. Learn and Serve Kyle Caldwell explained that there is a memo in the packet that outlines the staff recommendation for the Learn and Serve- Michigan Community-Based grant.

Ms. Grill asked Commissioners to participate as a peer reviewer for the GSA. The Commissioners also received a list of potential sponsors and Ms. Grill asked for their assistance in soliciting sponsors and making follow-up calls. Chairperson Mulhern asked that a policy for GSA fundraising be hammered out by February 9, 2004 meeting. 14 �Commissioners Comer and Young-Welch will be added to the Outreach and Communications Committee.

Welcome and Introduction- Chairperson Mulhern The meeting was called to order at 12:10 p.m. by Chairperson Mulhern and he welcomed everyone to the meeting. II. Review and Approval of December 15, 2003 Minutes - Chairperson Mulhern Chairperson Mulhern asked for a motion to approve the minutes from the December 15, 2003 board meeting. Commissioner Parker moved to approve the minutes, Commissioner Collier seconded the motion. The motion passed unanimously. III. Standing Committee Reports- Chairperson Mulhern A. Executive Committee- Chairperson Mulhern Chairperson Mulhern discussed the minutes of the January 23, 2004 Executive Committee meeting which were distributed to board members. During the meeting (via conference call) they approved the agenda for the February 9, 2004, MCSC Board Meeting and staff recommendations for funding for Michigan Campus Compact AmeriCorps Proposal. A memo from Kyle Caldwell dated January 20, 2004, outlined the proposal. Chairperson Mulhern asked for a motion to approve the Executive Committee's actions. Commissioner Collier moved to approved the motion and Commissioner Smith seconded the motion. The motion passed unanimously. B. Outreach and Communications Committee - Commissioner Pickard Commissioner Pickard welcomed the new Commissioners to the Committee (Comer, Pellegrino and Young-Welch). She stated that there were two sponsors for the Governor Service Awards (GSA), General Motors and Lear Corporation, in the amount $10,000 each and that the committee is actively soliciting others. The goal this year is $60,000. As a means to generate additional dollars for the GSA, the committee has developed a corporate solicitation package where the corporations are offered special opportunities this year that have not been offered before. The sponsors will be able to stand on the stage with the Governor and First Gentleman and present the awards. In addition, the $10,000 supporters will also have the opportunity to have one representative seated at the table with the Governor and First Gentleman. Also one of the awards will be presented on behalf of the corporation. Letters have been sent out to solicit additional 2 �sponsors. She also requested, on behalf of the Outreach Committee, that each Commissioner, if possible, sponsor a table for $1000 or to fmd someone to sponsor a table. It was suggested that the Commissioner could team up with someone to sponsor a table. A media campaign is also being developed to promote the GSA. Chairperson Mulhern thanked Commissioner Comer for Lear Corporation's support of Governor's Service Awards and also the ConnectMichigan Alliance Endowment Campaign. He also thanked Commissioner Pickard for GM's support for GSA. Commissioner Comer mentioned that it would be helpful to help fill tables of those sponsors that aren't able to make it to the GSA ceremony. Commissioner Kwak suggested donating those tables to some of the award finalists and their organizations. Commissioner Pickard stated that the sponsorship packets will be given out to the Commissioners. Commissioner Parker asked if there was going to be a mento ring award. Commissioner Pickard stated that the mentoring award will be sponsored by Lear and Mentor Michigan will be highlighted. Chairperson Mulhern mentioned that it was discussed at the last meeting whether to roll Mentor Michigan fundraising into GSA fundraising but it was agreed to split them. Commissioner Bunn stated that there are some organizations that she knows that would be interested in the mentoring piece and asked if there was a way to designate whatever is left over from their GSA contribution to use towards mentoring activities. Chairperson Mulhern answered that they could. C. Report of ConnectMichigan Alliance- John Lore Dr. Lore shared an overview of new initiatives. They just fmished the Michigan Campus Compact Institute. Brian O'Connell was a speaker at the Institute. The Michigan Civics Summit will begin on Tuesday, February 12, and will hold a conference in December. They are also working on a Mentor Michigan VISTA program along with the Volunteer Centers. He announced that his assistant, Kate Powers, would be leaving on February 17. He thanked Commissioner Comer for Lear's $20,000 contribution, and shared that he was in constant contact with Mr. Comer because he didn't want Lear to commit to more than was needed so that they could also sponsor GSA. The final amount raised was $10,051,000 due to last minute gifts from several organizations. He thanked Commissioners Pickard and K wak for their help in accomplishing the goal. 3 �IV. Executive Director's Report- Kyle Caldwell A. MCSC 2004 Goals Mr. Caldwell reviewed the annual goals that were established after the 2003 Commissioner Retreat. A memo from Kyle Caldwell dated February 9, 2004, was handed out to the Commissioners outlining the progress on the goals. The big goal was to integrate Mentor Michigan into MCSC programming by examining the role of national service programs, utilizing and focusing staff on developing Mentor Michigan and aligning our programs to highlight mentoring. With regard to examining the role of national service, AmeriCorps priorities have been realigned to stress mentoring (5 out of 19 programs) and the MCSC has brokered a partnership with CNCS Michigan and CMA for an AmeriCorps*VISTA program which will set forth an infrastructure for mentoring. Mr. Caldwell commented on the great relationship that MCSC has with CNCS Michigan which is not always the case in other states. Mr. Caldwell also stated that focusing staff on the issue is critical. Paula Kaiser, Mary Grill, Joan Bowman and Mary Zatina have done a tremendous job to advance Mentor Michigan. But they all have "day jobs" so it will be critical to look at how Mentor Michigan is staffed more permanently and will be addressed in the plan that will be put forth when soliciting support. Looking at the other MCSC programs and highlighting mento ring, the Governor's Service Awards has a mentoring category, as well as mentoring activity has been added to the Volunteer Investment Grants program. The MCSC needs to look at Learn and Serve and Citizen Corps to see how to integrate Mentor Michigan into those programs. The funding and application for Learn and Serve had already taken place so mentoring was not yet a priority, but the MCSC will be looking at that stream in the future. Mentoring programs will also be pushed for Citizen Corps. Mentor Michigan: The big goal is 10,000 mentors. The MCSC is beginning to formulate a plan to reach the goal for this year which is 2,000 mentors. Other goals are to begin to assess the needs of communities, develop an awareness campaign, gather practioners to advise, and gamer resources to support the efforts. The progress to date in terms of developing a long-range plan includes a planning meeting ofMCSC and First Gentleman's staff, feedbacks from the summits, VISTA project, and Mentor Partnership. As far as assessing the needs of the communities, over 1,000 people attended the six summits last fall where they articulated the 5 top priority areas out of the 10 that will be focused on. A study was conducted for interests and information by the web. That information was analyzed by Kale Research Solutions and found that there are currently over 17,000 mentor matches, most ages 5-18 years old, and over 2,600 are on waiting lists. An awareness campaign was developed which included Mentor Month activities. The MCSC is working to gamer practioners to advise on the plan development process. The Mentor Michigan listserve has been unveiled. The ground work has been laid in gaining support for resources. There was a meeting 4 �with the Hudson Webber Foundation and an upcoming meeting with W.K. Kellogg Foundation to talk about how to make the approaches to philanthropic communities. The feedback from foundations on the comprehensive resource development plan has helped the MCSC put together what should be looked at to make the best approach. This should be done by the time the MCSC meets in the spring. The next steps include putting the plan together, establishing a staffing plan, garnering funding, developing networks, and putting together research and evaluation tools to keep the 10,000 tally fresh and current. Michigan's AmeriCorps: There were five goals that included securing increased levels of funding, encouraging new grantees towards mentor, getting the numbers back up, maintaining program support and broadening the exposure of our efforts. As far as increased levels of funding, the MCSC was able to secure $200 million for AmeriCorps for the upcoming program year. The MCSC also aligned existing grantees towards mentoring by giving it a priority, increased the number of programs by 25%, received a $3 million allocation for formula funds, and increased funding for programs by 43% from 2003 levels. But there is still work to do because the current increase is still 21% lower than 2002. There were some staffing changes in AmeriCorps by replacing a program officer vacancy with Andy Younger, which allowed the program officer/program ratio to remain the same, and have continued the events and trainings that were scheduled. The MCSC is still in process of putting together high impact site visits to the field that help the Commission, field and organization. Next steps include continuing to focus on national issues, focusing on competitive funding and examining quality issues. As the MCSC Chair mentioned, Michigan has an excellent plan, in fact it's the model for the nation, for how to do oversight, how to do the mechanics of a great AmeriCorps program and how to support them. What is not known is the answer to the question: What does the best AmeriCorps program in the nation look like, how does it work, what does it focus on, and what does it use to sustain itself? So one of the charges that Chairperson Mulhern has made is to talk to the field and figure this question out because the answer to this will be important, especially as money becomes tight. Citizen Corps: The four goals include tripling the number of councils, working with existing and new councils to expand their programs, establishing CERT academy, and quadrupling the number of CERT trainers. The MCSC/Michigan Citizen Corps started out with 13 councils, with a goal of 39, and are now at 23 to date, which is a 77% growth rate for the year. The MCSC is working with the Medical Reserve Corps, the VIPS program, Neighborhood Watch and Michigan's Surgeon General to focus on how to get the medical community involved. There have been two CERT training academies so 5 �far. Michigan has the nation's only tribal CERT Train-the-Trainer program and is seeking partnerships with community colleges. There are over 100 CERT trainers, but the goal is to have 200 by the end of the year. Next steps include increasing the number of councils, formalizing the CERT training and getting it into institutions. The Governor has given us the charge to train 15,000 citizens by the end ofthe year. Volunteer Investment Grants: There are four goals which include aligning towards mentoring, re-acquiring funds for grant making, developing partnerships with corporate and philanthropic communities and establishing a data collection and research system. With regards to aligning the grant making around mentoring, it is accomplished as it was made a priority this year and is receiving great response. But when you look at the other goals, you have to look at where the Governor's budget will fall and then gage the Legislature's response. The MCSC will continue to work with current grantees to focus on those partnerships. Learn and Serve: There were six goals that include broadening the leadership and dialogue, securing increased levels of funding, developing innovated partnerships, securing and disseminating research, developing a resource library, and developing a recognition program. Representative Hart approached the MCSC to help host hearings on servicelearning and the hearings went very smoothly. The MCSC is seeking a grant for Learn and Serve Homeland Security funding that focuses on kids. As far as innovative partnerships, the MCSC is seeking alignment with Governor Granholm's MERIT Award service requirement and also convening and supporting Service Learning Youth Council (SLYC). In regards to securing and disseminating research on efficacy, RMC Research fmdings on service learning and MEAP will be received in March. As far as we know, no one in the country is doing this kind of research so even if findings are not significant, it is ground breaking just in the fact that Michigan has done it. The resource library is always in process and will continue to grow. A recognition program took place in partnership with the Michigan Campus Compact at the Dorothy Johnson Center for Philanthropy Reception and Annual Awards Ceremony. Next steps are to determine action plan for Homeland Security partnership and to expand the leadership partners to include education associations. Governor Services Awards: The goals include increasing the number of nominations, hosting a statewide recognition event with the Governor and First Gentleman, defraying costs with private sector support, securing media partners and broadening support for GSA. 6 �The deadline for nominations has been extended to February 27. Commissioner Pickard asked whether nomination forms had been sent out to the ConnectMichigan partners and Mr. Caldwell replied that they had. Commissioner Pickard also asked whether it was too late to recognize mentoring on a higher level and also try to get more entities involved. Is there a possibility to have four awards under the mentoring category that would include individual mentoring award, nonprofit mentoring award, corporate mentoring award, and organization mento ring award. Therefore you would highlight more of the recognition that we are trying to make a difference with mentoring. Commissioner Comer mentioned that Lear Corporation committed to three-year sponsorship and to challenge the other corporations to do the same. That would create a corporate rivalry of who could do more in the mentoring sector. Mr. Caldwell replied that the MCSC will look at what's feasible for adding to this year's mento ring category and expand next year's mento ring category. It may also be folded into fundraiser for GSA and Mentor Michigan. Back to GSA goals, Mr. Caldwell stated that this will be the first recognition program with the Governor and First Gentleman and will be held during the Michigan Volunteerism SuperConference. He discussed that there is currently $20,000 raised for GSA and will continue working towards the goal of$60,000. As far as broadening support for GSA, Suzanne Geha, anchor from WOOD TV 8 in Grand Rapids, will be emceeing the GSA event. She is also a very close friend to Diana Sieger, Executive Director of the Grand Rapids Community Foundation, and they have both said they would discuss helping MCSC expand the event and make linkages to both the media and philanthropic community. The next steps include continuing to solicit applications, aggressively pursue sponsorships, focus on the GSA program and continue to have dialogue with philanthropic organizations. Also, the new goal of expanding the mentoring category. B. Special Guest- Representative Doug Hart Chairperson Mulhern introduced Representative Doug Hart. Representative Hart commented on the hearings the House Subcommittee on Service-Learning and Civic Education held last fall. Service-Learning is about making education relevant and the most powerful way to build civic society. It engenders commitments to one's community through developing habits of giving. Everyone is a winner with service-learning. Representative Brian Palmer inaugurated this committee and asked that they gather information. They wanted to use the committee to educate legislators. There were several hearings throughout the state and there were quite a range of individuals that testified. He mentioned that there may be a blue-ribbon panel established to move the conversation forward. He also supports the Governors State of the State proposal to create a service 7 �requirement in the MEAP scholarship. Another area to be considered is creating a panel that looks into issues specific to the Governor's recommendations (i.e., how do you prepare communities and teachers, what sorts of organizations should take the lead in this type of effort). He feels that the subcommittee accomplished what they wanted to accomplish but couldn't have done it without the help of the MCSC. He also stated that he feels that the "white paper" that the MCSC has developed will be helpful to legislators in Michigan but also to policy makers across the country. What the MCSC has created is a model of gathering information and making sense out of the various service-learning policy areas. A document was handed out that outlined the subcommittee's recommendations. Commissioner Watkins commended Representative Hart on his efforts regarding education and service-learning. He also stated that the MERIT portion of the recommendations and 40 hours of community service are very important. It will be taken up under the MERIT awards and it will be very valuable to the work that the subcommittee did and perhaps reflection from this group to take recommendations to the MERIT board. Also, Mr. Watkins asked how do we do this so we can engage young people without creating another bureaucratic process to document and take up a lot of time that the teachers and administrators don't have? There is a lot ofknowledge in this room and the work that the subcommittee did may be able to help set guidelines. Commissioner Parker stated his concern that as the subcommittee continues, that they recognize that the MCSC can help with the direction. Chairperson Mulhern asked Representative Hart if there was one thing that stood out from the hearings. Representative Hart said he was struck by the passion of those that presented and testified at the hearings and that it is the heart of servicelearning. Mr. Caldwell went through the seven recommendations from the hearings: include social studies in the MERIT award; utilize existing resources and partnerships; support public education; provide states with more resources; invest in sound, rigorous research; support teachers' professional development; and support meaningful decision making roles for youth. Commissioner Kwak shared that the W.K. Kellogg Foundation funds servicelearning on a national level and feels that the actions that the subcommittee has taken will provide a model for other states. C. MCSC Budget- Kyle Caldwell Mr. Caldwell went over the budget that was passed out to Commissioners. He also announced that the Federal CNCS audit is finally closed out was a "clean" audit. 8 �D. V. Michigan Citizen Corps- Kyle Caldwell Mr. Caldwell gave an update on Michigan Citizen Corps and explained the grant applications that have been received. By the end of the year there should be $1.3 million in funding that the MCSC will be managing. Mentor Michigan- Chairperson Mulhern A. Chairperson Mulhern shared some of the results of the survey that was conducted on mento ring by Kale Research Solutions, Inc. He pointed out one of the facts that states that 99% of individuals who mentor through formal mentoring programs recommend it to others. He discussed his thoughts on how to have a message that will stick in peoples minds about mentoring and shared a quote from a gentleman that sent an email: "Mentor Michigan can change two lives at a time." He also gave an overview of activities from National Mentoring Month including public service announcements, billboards, print ads, a tool kit on the Mentor Michigan web site and Mentor Michigan Sundays B. Next Steps- Paula Kaiser explained the ConnectMichigan Alliance VISTA program that will focus on Mentor Michigan. There will be 25 members that will be placed in teams of 3-5 around the state. They will be working on local infrastructure issues that were identified from the summits. The five areas they will focus on will be: identifying and securing resources to support and sustain mentoring; helping to recruit mentors-each VISTA will be responsible for recruiting 100 mentors so by the end of the year there will be 2500 mentors recruited just through the VISTA program; balancing and enhancing partnerships with business, faith-based organizations, nonprofits, education institutions, and government; increasing public awareness; and providing training and support for local mentoring programs. The VISTAs won't be placed in any one organization to benefit that organization, but to help benefit mentoring across the entire community. This should develop local mentoring collaborative and talk about how the organizations will share these 3-5 individuals to address the five areas. The program should be able to fund 6-7 communities depending on how many members are placed in each community. They should be able to develop some infrastructure for mentoring in those communities. In addition, quarterly extensive training will be provided to the 25 VISTA members so that they can take that back to their community. The members should be in place by late July. Mary Pfeiler pointed out that the program will focus on communities and children most in need.

Present on the call were Commissioners Benson, Comer, Pardoe, Swain, O'Day, and Pickard. Staff members present on the call were Kyle Caldwell and Mary Grill. Welcome to New Outreach Committee Members The Outreach Committee is pleased to have as new members Commissioner Comer, Commissioner Pellegrino, and Commissioner Young-Welch. Governor's Service Awards GSA Sponsors. Kyle Caldwell thanked Commissioner Comer for his leadership in securing the Lear Corporation sponsorship of the Outstanding Mentor Award. Lear has made a three year commitment to sponsor the Outstanding Mentor Award and Commissioner Comer recommended that we ask all of our potential sponsors for a three year commitment. All Outreach Committee members agreed. Caldwell also thanked Commissioner Pickard once again for leading the GSA sponsorship efforts and for securing the General Motor Corporation's lead gift to sponsor the George W. Romney Lifetime Acheivement Award. With the gifts from GM and Lear, we are one-third of the way to our goal! The committee members reviewed the list of Governor's Service Awards potential sponsors and identified the prospects to whom they would make follow up calls. The initial request for sponsorship letter will be sent from First Gentleman Mulhern and Kyle Caldwell and Commissioners will make follow up phone calls. They also discussed additional prospects that �could be added to the list of potential sponsors. A discussion around the geographic diversity of the potential sponsors list ensued. Because the event is being held in Grand Rapids this year and the number of prospects from the west side of the state were less than hoped, it was decided that Kyle Caldwell and MaryGrill consult with Commissioner Collier to discuss additional prospects. Once the list is finalized it will be approved by the Governor's Office. At the December Commission meeting, Commissioner Bunn and Commissioner Makki expressed interest in being involved with the GSA sponsorship efforts. Caldwell and Grill will follow up with them. The importance of keeping the committee informed on progress once the initial solicitation letters goes out was discussed. It was decided that Mary Grill would update the committee weekly throughout the fundraising process and daily if new information comes in. GSA Media. The need for increased GSA media was discussed. Commissioner Pickard recommended that we look into a media partner. The event emcee will be Suzanne Geha at WOOD TV8, which is an NBC affiliate, so that may be the ideal partnership. Additional discussion with key leadership in Grand Rapids and with Commissioner Young-Welch will be sought in order to create a media strategy. GSA Event Overview.

"Service-learning is an innovative and proven teaching method that is really changing the lives of children and the quality of the communities in which they live," said Kyle Caldwell, Executive Director of the Michigan Community Service Commission (MCSC), the organization hosting the awards celebration. "Children are taking what they learn in the classroom and applying it through service that benefits their own community. The MCSC is proud to recognize those that are doing this in an outstanding way." Mr. Polanyi is a third grade teacher and was honored for his leadership, enthusiasm, and encouragement in working with his students and other teachers. His students have taken the lead in the preservation of their community's history, which includes an activity with 100 year-old resident Dorothy Dalson. The students updated the printed history of Twin Lake and are now working to develop museum quality display cases that have local artifacts and information students have gathered. Twin Lakes Elementary is part of the Reeths-Puffer School District. Benona Elementary School was honored for their Purple Loosestrife Project. Teacher Lisa Ramthun and her fifth grade science class have been reducing the Purple Loosestrife population in west Michigan since 200 I by using beetles, the plant's natural enemy. Students raise and release beetles and monitor the plant's growth rate while learning key concepts of biological control, research methods, and wetland ecology. The project is being completed in partnership with the Michigan State University Purple Loosestrife Project, Adopt A Stream, and the Stony Lake Property Association. Benona Elementary School is part of the Shelby Public Schools. Learn and Serve- Michigan, a program of the MCSC, developed the 2004 Outstanding Service-Learning Awards to recognize service-learning excellence in Michigan. The two awards were presented in what will become an annual recognition ceremony. Annually, one teacher is honored for leadership and for helping others expand service-learning activities; and a K-12 service-learning program is honored for demonstrating innovation and excellence. The 2004 awards were presented at 5:30p.m. at the KirkofCenter on Grand Valley State University' s Allendale Campus. BACKGROUND: Service-learning is a way of teaching that connects learning with meaningful service to the community. Servicelearning enhances students' motivation to learn, increases attendance, and reduces drop out rates. This approach to teaching connects learning with real-life issues. Learn and Serve- Michigan, a program of the Michigan Community Service Commission (MCSC), grants funding to help schools provide and enhance service-learning programs. The MCSC builds a culture of service by providing vision and resources to strengthen communities through volunteerism. In 2004, the MCSC is granting $3.9 million in federal funds and $280,100 in state funds to local communities to support volunteer programs and activities. ### � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

GRANHOLM, Governor MICHIGAN COMMUNITY SERVICE COMMISSION Chairperson Daniel G. Mulhern 1048 Pierpont, Suite 4 Lansing, Michigan 48913 Phone: (517) 335-4295 Fax: (517) 272-4977 www.michigan.gov/mcsc Executive Director Kyle Caldwell MEMORANDUM TO: Members of the Michigan Community Service Commission Executive Committee FROM: Kyle Caldwell, Executive Director / DATE: January 20, 2004 V tJl__ 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. Applicant Members and Hours Michigan Campus Compact 300 @ 300 hrs. /year Total Value 300 members Full-time Equivalent (FfE) 60 Amount of Grant Educational Awards $400 X 60FTE 300@ $1,000 each $24,000 $300,000* (1FTE=5 minimum-time members) 60FfE * Education A wards 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 ofthe 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 of3,000 additional community volunteers. The MCSC staff believes 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. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

He was appointed by President Bush and began serving in December 2003. A nationally recognized leader on nonprofit capacity-building, infrastructure, and organizational effectiveness, Eisner has focused his time at the Corporation on strengthening the accountability of the organization, improving customer service by the organization, and increasing public trust in the organization. One of his major challenges is to guide the AmeriCorps rulemaking process, through which he intends to resolve some longstanding issues regarding the regulations that govern AmeriCorps grants. The goals of the rulemaking process, as well as all of Eisner's management efforts, are to make the Corporation' s programs more efficient, effective, and accountable; to ensure that national and community service programs add value to traditional volunteering and the nonprofit world; and to bring a far greater degree of consistency, predictability, and value to the Corporation's programs. From 1997 until2003, Eisner was a Vice President at AOL Time Warner, where he directed the company's charitable foundation. Before that, he was a Senior Vice President ofFleishmanHilliard International Communications, and prior to that he managed public relations at the Legal Services Corporation. He started his career on Capitol Hill, serving as press secretary for three Members of Congress. In addition to his professional activities, Eisner has served on the boards of several national nonprofit organizations, including Independent Sector, the National4-H Council, and Network for Good. A graduate of Stanford University, he received his law degree from Georgetown University Law Center. He and his wife, Lori, live in Bethesda, Maryland, with their four young children. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Dear Mr. Eisner: The Michigan Community Service Commission (MCSC) would like to provide its feedback to the Corporation for National and Community Service (CNCS) on the questions posed in the ongoing rulemaking inquiry. The MCSC ' s position is simple- far more flexibility and authority need to be targeted to the state local levels. The CNCS can achieve this by developing policies through the rulemaking process that take into consideration this simple position and that simultaneously answer the questions posed by the President, the U.S. Congress, and the CNCS Board ofTrustees. The MCSC would ask CNCS to consider the following: Sustainability • Require that programs and state service commissions identify sustainability strategies and plans that focus on the goals of the CNCS to maximize resources and encourage new programs and innovations. The CNCS should not impose a "one size fits all" solution to sustainability given the wide diversity of needs and resources in communities across the country. Federal Cost Share • Sustain AmeriCorps and the valuable infrastructure it's created, not withdraw and divest in what the public has clearly seen as a valuable program. With over 228 �Mr. David Eisner Page Two March 26, 2004 members of congress, 148 Mayors, 250 private sector leaders, and over 700 voices calling for the program's continuation and expansion, AmeriCorps has proven it is worth the investment. The allocation of federal resources should be determined by quality and the specific goals of the program. Performance Measures • • Insist upon and then create accountability for state- and locally-identified performance measures to improve the quality of the work of existing as well as new grantees that can be identified through an open, fair, and competitive selection process. No new policies and processes are necessary to enforce performance measures. The CNCS needs to fully and effectively enforce what is in place. Current systems with potential include performance measures, competitive grant applications, state commission standards, unified state plans and individual program performance goals and objectives. Literacy Program Member Qualifications • Utilize the literacy qualifications of each state. Where a state lacks those qualifications, the CNCS should adopt broad, but proven literacy standards. Grant Cycles • Do not impose a uniform annual calendar. Each program and the communities served by them are unique with their own set of assets and challenges. Flexibility for grant cycles should be defined by programs and state commissions based on those assets and challenges and then be held accountable for addressing them in the manner specified. Program Selection Criteria • Provide broad yet attainable goals that remain consistent over multiple grant cycles. Again, these are available to the CNCS through its existing guidance to programs (i.e. education, public safety, human needs, the environment). Yet annually the CNCS publishes new and often radically different program selection criteria. Continuation Application Process • The CNCS must lessen the reporting and related bureaucratic burdens (red tape) on grantees and potential grantees so that we can engage more small community and faith-based organizations in the good work of AmeriCorps. Continuing programs should be judged on their documented performance specified in their reports . �Mr. David Eisner Page Three March 26, 2004 The MCSC looks forward to working with the CNCS to develop effective solutions to the seven issue areas the rulemaking process will address. Most of all, we hope that the CNCS and its Board of Trustees will rely upon the experience of the field in implementing the policy changes that this process will dictate. Sincerely, /)1 CJJJJ!

GRANHOLM JOHN 0 . CHERRY. JR. LANSTNG April 29, 2004 Mr. David Eisner Chief Excculive Officer Corporation for National and Community Service 1201 NewYorkAvenue, NW Washington, DC 20525 Dear Mr. Eisner: I am writing to add my thoughts and suggestions on the proposed :refonns to AmeriCorps currently under consideration. I appreciate the opportunity to comment based on my experience with national service programs in the state of Michigan. I am a great supporter of national service and Amer:tCorps. having seen the impact that AmenCorps prograirul are making on communities across Michlgan. Programs like Downrtver CARES in Wayne County, AmeriCorps Oakland, Readlng Core in Ionia County. City Year Detroit, and Habitat for Hwnanity, are all recipients of AmertCO:rp$ grants and are all making a tremendous difference in our state. Michigan ia a state blessed wttll people who demonstrate a capacity for giving. AmertCorps has leveraged that capacity by garnering public and private resources. generating additional volnnteers and elevating the ability of nonprofits to deliver services more effectively. AmeriCOrp$ help~ c;o.mmunitles that are dealing with enormous challenges - unemployment, disinvestment from industrtes moving overseas, and the continued challenge of balancing the needs of urban cities like Detroit and Ann Arbor With those of our rural citizens like those in Greenville and Charlevoix. In these communities AmeriCorps programs are helping children do better in reading, :w.ath, and in their attitudes towards school. Am~Corps works and ~ an excellent example of a federal program that supports, in partnership with trern~ndous states. cities, and the private sector, a wide variety of organizations that can meet the diverse needs of our state. This is not the time to stop investing in AmerlCorps. The federal government must maintain its commitment to this vital program. At the same thne the Corporation Cor :National and Community Service should not develop P:O. eOX M013 • LANSING, MICHIGAN 4al)O!J www.mlchlu11n.uov �David Eisner Corporation for National and Community Service Page 2 any rules that will hinder the innovation and accountability state service commissions have bee:n able to garner from communities. My admin1stratlon is constantly exam.1.nl.ng ways to make Michigan's government more effective, responsive and meaningful in the lives of our CitiZens. The Michigan Community Service Commission has paid particular attention to these principles by proactively developing Michigan-speclfl.c polJ.cles on organizational development, progra.tJJ.Uiatlc sustainability. and community impact. These policies are constantly examined for effeCtiVeness to ensure that Ameri.Corp~ works for Michigan·~ communiti~large and small. While I applaud the Corporation's own examination of its policies and procedures, I strongly encourage you to not tie the hands of states. In conside:rtng the proposed reforms to AmeriCorps, which include increasing match requirements and setting time limits to how long organiZations can receive AmertCorps funds, I suggest that you consider the needs of states like Michigan and recognize that many states have sustainability and other policle$ that ~ working. I strongly reeom.mend that the Corporation: • not develop any rules that wo~<l b:lb:blge ~<1/ o~ ~om.pro:mise the flenbillty states ileed to serve the individual a:nd specific needs of communities. • leave match requirements as they are, a:nd instead provide Incentives through challenge grants to develop innovation in new • p~gram. areas; and allow state service commissions to balance their portfolios by applying funds raised by organizations in urban areas that exceed match requirements to smaller programs in rural areas that struggle to meet the current match. On a separate, but equally important point, setting time 11m1ts would burden states by destroying the service infrastructure that local fonndations, bu!S:lne$$e$ aud mdf:vl.duals have created alongside the federal government's investment. In Michigan, AineriCorpe volunteers are providing needed services, such as mentoring and t1.1torio.g cb.ild:r.-en 1n our schools. Older AmeriCorps programs have demonstrated the abillty to meet community needs. have built strong service partnuships, and have demon.$ trated to comm'Unity members that they add value �David Eisner Corporation fo~ National and Community Service Page 3 through their service. I sugae.st that instead of setthlg time Umits, you allow state service commissions to continu~ to award grants based on competition to organizations that are best able to fulfill community needs and in accordance with their own sustainablllty policies. As the first member of my family to go to college, I applaud AmertCorps for offeiUlg educational opportunity to its members. Like many AmerlCorps members, I ~truggled to put myself through college and gain the knowledge and experiences necessary to succeed. Amc:riCorps proVides corps members With the opponuruty to gain real work experience, to develop a sense of civic engagement, and to earn educational awards. AmertCorps members deserve proper training and support for their service. and they deserve to be paid a liVing allowance that will support their daily needs. I encourage the Corporation to keep llvl.ng allowanceti and cost per member at the current rate. Again. I appreciate the opportunity to provide comment on the rulemaking process, and applaud CNCS for soliciting public involvcmen.t in idcmtifying the best framework through which to fund this vezy bnporlant program. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

The meeting was called to order at 10:00 a.m. Members present: Daniel Mulher, Chair; Russ Mawby and Meg Smith. Staff present: Kyle Caldwell, Executive Director; and Janice Harvey. 2004 Michigan's AmeriCorps Competitive Application Members reviewed the staff recommendations for 2004 Michigan's AmeriCorps Competitive Applications. Kyle Caldwell discussed the memo from Paula Kaiser outlining the staff recommendations. Michigan is requesting $1.5 million for new programs and over $500,00 for renewal applicants. The staff also recommends shifting some of the existing formula funded programs to competitive funding in the amount of$2.2 due to the quality of the programs. This will free up some of the formula funding. Kyle explained that the 50% reduction in funding from last year will be restored with the overall portfolio at $6 million, with $3 to $4 million in competitive funding. Chair Mulhern mentioned that he felt that the new competitive programs looked worthwhile and Commissioner Mawby was impressed with the range of programs. Chairperson Mulhern questioned why some programs were excluded from funding and Mr. Caldwell explained that the programs either didn ' t understand what AmeriCorps was (they �wanted to replace staff or without a service aspect) or they didn't have a capacity to administer a program. Chairperson Mulhern asked for a motion to approve the staff recommendations for Michigan's AmeriCorps Competitive Application. Commissioner Smith moved, and Commissioner Mawby seconded that the staff recommendations for new competitive programs, competitive renewal applications, and the formula programs submitted in competitive application be approved (see attached memo). The motion passed unanimously. Staff Recommendations for 2003 CERT Funding Kyle Caldwell outlined the funding requests and stated each of the councils will be funded either by 2002 funding, 2003 funding or intent for 2004 funding. This is the first time each of the eight regions will be funded. Commissioner Mawby asked for an explanation as to why Region 2 (Kent County area) has not received funding. Mr. Caldwell explained that there was skepticism with the locals to establish a Council in that region. Kentwood agreed to form a Council and has filed an intent to apply for 2004 funds. Of the 2003 CERT funding, $290,000 will go to communities not previously funded and $111,000 will go to previously funded communities (renewal) for a total of over $400,000 (see attached). Chairperson Mulhern asked whether a risk factor is taken into consideration when distributing funding. Mr. Caldwell stated that it was used as a criteria. Commissioner Mawby asked how the training was done. Mr. Caldwell explained that the training is taking place through academies at community colleges so that it is done at a local level. Commissioner Mawby mentioned that we could possibly engage the Boy Scouts in the training process. Chairperson Mulhern asked for a motion to support the 2003 CERT funding. Commissioner Mawby moved to support, Commissioner Smith seconded the motion. The motion passed unanimously. Commission Mawby commended the Council and staff on moving so far ahead in such a short time period. Chairperson Mulhern stated that a letter should be to the Council members commending their efforts. Overview of Rule Making Mr. Caldwell explained that funding is being restored but that Congress wants reform. The Corporation for National and Community Service (CNCS) is holding rule making hearings to engage the field in the process. The Corporation published a Notice of Intent to Propose a Rule in the Federal Register on March 4 (45 CFR Chapters 12 and 25). The notice lays out the issues CNCS plans to address through formal rulemaking: 1. AmeriCorps grantee sustainability, including the parameters for capacity-building activities by AmeriCorps members and volunteer recruitment; 2. Limitations on the Federal share of costs; 3. Performance measures and evaluation requirements; �4. Qualifications for AmeriCorps members serving as reading tutors and requirements for programs engaged in literacy activities; 5. Timing of the AmeriCorps grant cycle; 6. Program selection criteria; and 7. Application process for programs in their second and third years in a 3-year grant. They will seek input and use the input to make changes to AmeriCorps policies. The hearings will start in Columbus, Ohio on March 15 and will conclude in Dallas, Texas on April 2. Mr. Caldwell attended a public hearing in Columbus, Ohio on March 15 and testified. Michigan had six programs at Columbus hearing. The hearings will lead to rules in the aforementioned seven areas. After the hearings are complete, there will be a 60-day comment period and then final publication will be done by June. Mr. Caldwell noted that it would be important for the .field to get engaged. Mr. Caldwell explained that the implications are significant. The Corporation is engaging in policy changes that do not require any legislation, therefore does not require public input outside of the comment periods. Mr. Caldwell also felt that was important for the Commission, as a body, to publish something publicly (either letter or website). It was suggested that Chairperson Mulhern and Mr. Caldwell draft letter and that the Executive Committee approve it for submission on behalf of the full Commission. It was also suggested that the letter could go out to the whole Commission via email for comments and approval. The letter should focus on key issues. CNCS CEO David Eisner will be in Michigan on May 25 for the Volunteerism Superconference and hopes to hold an additional hearing on the draft rule that is published. Chairperson Mulhern suggested that during Mr. Eisner' s visit to Michigan in May, that we show him why Michigan is so special. Mr. Caldwell explained that Mr. Eisner will be visiting an AmeriCorps program in Congressman Hoekstra's district (Muskegon) that focuses on service-learning, but also shows all of the streams working in one place. It was requested that at the April 16, 2004 Executive Committee meeting that staff lay out an outline ofMr. Eisner's visit. The meeting was adjourned at 10:50 a.m. �STATE OF MICHIGAN JENNIFER M.

In the NOF A, the MCSC advertised the opportunity for potential applicants to participate in a technical assistance conference call to learn about how to apply for Michigan's AmeriCorps Funding. The Michigan's AmeriCorps Concept Papers were due to MCSC on January 15, 2004. The MCSC received 16 Concept Papers. All 16 Concept Papers were reviewed by a panel of peer reviewers on January 26, 2004. The peer reviewers recommended that 11 of the Concept Papers move to the next level which was the MCSC staff review. The staff reviewed all 11 applications and moved 9 of them forward to the next step of the application process -- the submission of a Comprehensive Application on March 4, 2004. The staff reviewed the 9 Comprehensive Applications and is recommending 7 of them be included in the MCSC competitive application submission to the Corporation for National and Community Service on March 23, 2004. The seven were recommended based on the overall quality of the application and if they meet federal funding priorities (homeland security and faith-based initiatives).

Letter of intent from City ofKentwood for 2004 funding thus completing a council in all 8 regions. I would like input from the Council on future funding.

I know the power of national service first hand and feel that were it not for the skills, knowledge and experiences I gained through my term of service, I would not be a member of the Michigan Legislature today. AmeriCorps started me on a new path to that I know will positively impact the lives of others for generations. This is why I feel strongly that the rule making process must do nothing to limit communities' abilities to leverage and gamer AmeriCorps resources in ways that make real impact and change to local challenges. In addition, I would hope that the rule making process would spend special attention to the needs and limited resources of rural communities that rely on national service resources to get things done. Small communities in Clare County where I served as a VISTA member rely heavily on programs that can leverage tremendous human capital, but require limited financial commitment. As the CNCS considers making rules affecting AmeriCorps funding and operations, I strongly encourage that you consider the following: • Sustainability Resist making changes to program and grant making policies that hamper the ability of members to build effective community relationships which take long periods of time and cannot always be forged at the same pace. The CNCS should not arbitrarily limit the number of years programs can received funds , Funds should be granted based on community impact and community need. �Mr. Steven Goldsmith Page Two April 5, 2004 • Federal Share Consider the mission and goals of the AmeriCorps program, especially those related to working with small community and faith-based organizations. These, by their very definition, lack the capacity to gamer increasing resources for match to programs. CNCS funds should be allocated based on the ability of communities to provide match and not be granted by any single, universal federal cost share formula. • Tutor Qualifications The unique value of AmeriCorps is that its members are recruited to work in a community by a host institution that knows the needs of a community. In addition, local host organizations working in the area of education know the qualifications necessary for members to effectively serve and develop training ant technical assistance plans to help members develop their skills for their service. CNCS should use its existing training and monitoring systems to ensure that members are qualified to serve as tutors and utilize local requirements for their certification to work in schools. Thank you again for engaging the experts- the field of national service- in developing grant and qualification policies that will directly affect how members serve. As a former member, I look forward to working with the CNCS to help ensure that my legacy and the legacy of thousands of other members is supported well into the future to positively impact the lives of our citizens.

The Michigan Learn and Serve Grant Program Through school-based grants, the Michigan Learn and Serve grant program provides youth servicelearning opportunities at schools throughout the state. The goal ofLearn and Serve - Michigan is to develop skilled, knowledgeable, personally responsible, and civically active youth. This program is funded by the Corporation for National and Community Service (CNCS) and administered by the Michigan Community Service Commission (MCSC). The Study MCSC contracted with RMC Research to conduct a first-of-its-kind study to explore the role of various program quality indicators in moderating the effects of service-learning on academic outcomes. Particular attention was paid to student engagement as the mediating variable to explain how service-learning impacts achievement. All Learn and Serve grantees were invited to participate in the study during the 2001-2002 and 2002-2003 school years. Each grantee was asked to recruit at least two service-learning classrooms and two comparison classrooms, focusing on grades in which students were tested under the Michigan Educational Assessment Program (MEAP). Nearly 5,000 students and 171 teachers participated in the study. Because recruitment of comparison classrooms was a challenge, four out of five students in the study were service-learning participants. Data collection included teacher and student surveys, and MEAP achievement data. MEAP data collection was a challenge, due to delays, changes, and errors in reporting of the MEAP data. Data analysis using a hierarchical linear modeling approach was used to examine differences in student outcomes. Selected Findings Statistically significant differences in academic achievement scores consistently favored senricelearning participants. Based on Predicted Values for Grade 5 Science MEAP comparisons ofMEAP achievement Scaled Score by Group (n=667)* scores across two school years, fifth grade service-learning participants had significantly higher writing, social studies, and science scores than students in the comparison group. Differences among students in the other grades in which the MEAP was administered (grades 4, 7, 8, and high school), were either non-significant or could not be Comparison Service-Learning tested due to small sample sizes. *p<.05 RMC Research Corporation , Denver, CO Michigan Service-Learning 2004 Research Brief �Average ratings of engagement in service-learning \Yere significantly higher than those for engagement in all school activities.

Note: 1=no; 2=sometimes; 3=yes. Teacher and student ratings of servicelearning quality were high. Teacher ratings of the extent to which their teaching reflected the 11 Essential Elements of Service-Learning (NSLC, 1998) were high, indicating that, on average, they implemented the Essential Elements slightly more than "often." Student ratings of the quality of their service-learning experience indicated that they engaged in service-learning activities associated with high-quality programs between " fairly often" and "usually." Indicators of servicelearning quality were not consistently related to outcomes, however. studeris iil'"e p-epared for al aspects oftheirservice'#!Crk Studerts en invotved in cogritivelyctoalen!jng tasks 2 3 4 Note: 1=never or almost never; 2=sometimes; 3=often; 4= always or almost always. Next Steps While these findings are promising, conclusions are somewhat limited due to challenges faced in data collection. This initial research has helped set the stage for a more rigorous and comprehensive study. In the next phase of research with Michigan Learn and Serve grantees, RMC Research will introduce additional controls to increase the utility of findings and make them more robust. First, to better control the recruitment process and ensure adequate comparisons, serviceM I CHIGA N learning sites will be selected using a stratified random sampling approach and will be accepted into the study only if appropriate comparison sites can be identified. Second, to control for differences in student outcomes that may not be attributable to service-learning, a fall pre-survey will also be administered . This will allow for examination of change over time for individual students in the COMMUNITY service-learning and comparison groups. Finally, the student survey instruments will be revised to include measures of civic knowledge, skills, and dispositions keyed to a national study of the impact of service-learning on civic engagement.
