Present on the call were Commissioners Bensen, Pardoe, Parker, Pickard, Swain, andY oungWelch. Staff member present on the call was Mary Grill. Governor's Service Awards The committee discussed the May 1i 11 event including the debrief conducted by First Gentleman Mulhern, his staff, and the MCSC staff. Overall, the event was a huge success- very celebratory and inspirational. It had the perfect number of award categories, timing was good throughout the evening, and the room was packed. The committee also made the following recommendations for 2005, which will be held in conjunction with the Volunteerism SuperConference which is being held at the Hyatt in Dearborn in June: • MCSC Commissioners should be seated at sponor and awardee tables rather than all together at one table. We should also be more proactive in seating awardees at sponsor tables if appropriate. • We should maintain the surprise element of the everring by announcing five finalists in advance and the winner at the dinner. • We should seek to increase the number of nominations by: o Developing media partners including a partnership with a media affiliate (e.g. NBC, ABC, etc.) o Creating and placing public service announcements. o Creating a media "hit list" similar to the sponsor list so we can directly target specific media. o Put together a nomination packet for sponsors and other corporate stakeholders and distribute it in October. �MCSC Outreach Co mmittee Rep ort August 6, 2004 Page2 o o Developing a solid PR message that will "hook" people and make them want to nominate someone. Having the nomination information ready for distribution in October. Kathy Young-Welch has agreed to assist with the development and implementation ofthe media campaign. There was also an in-depth discussion about 2005 sponsorship opportunities which included the following : • Our 2005 goal is $100,000. • We will use a strategy similar to the one we used in 2004, with the letter signed by First Gentleman Mulhern and a follow up call by a Commissioner. • We will make the initial asks earlier- in September and October. • We will give the corporations who sponsored at the $10,000 level in 2004 the first opportunity to sponsor the same award category in 2005. These initial letters will go in the mail by the end of September. The second wave of letters will be mailed in mid October. • MCSC staffwill create the initial list of potential sponsors based on the 2004list. The Outreach Committee will review and ammend the list to reflect the southeast Michigan location of the 2005 event. AmeriCorps There was discussion regarding the celebration of AmeriCorps 10111 Anniversary. Initial plans were to host an event at the State Capitol building, but due to time and space issues plans have changed and a traditional AmeriCorps Celebration will take place at a different Lansing location that is still being determined. Mentor Michigan January 2005 is National Mentoring Month and we are encouraging Commissioner involvement. Currently, there are two primary ways the Committee felt Commissioner participation would be beneficial: • • Place op ed articles in local publications Participate in local National Mentoring Month events This will be discussed further at the upcoming commissioner meeting. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

One applicant, St. Charles Borromeo, was not recommended for funding due to the fact that they are a private school. We were recently notified by the Corporation for National and Community Service that we can not fund private schools- only local education agencies are eligible for the funds. Coldwater Public Schools has agreed to serve as the fiscal agent for the grant for St. Charles Borremeo. Staff is recommending funding for an implementation grant at the amount of $15 ,000. Coldwater Community Schools/St. Charles Borromeo Elementary School St. Charles Borromeo Elementary School is proposing a plan to integrate service-learning into its school wide curriculum with 88 students, 13 school staff members, parent and/or family members, and 15 community partners. By teaching children beginning at preschool that they can be helpful members of their community, will also encourage lifelong practice of altruistic behavior and civic responsibility. The proposal indicates a comprehensive approach to implementing quality service-learning that includes professional development, collaboration with community partners, student input, program evaluation, and continuing support.

Grand Blvd., Detroit, Michigan 48202 August 12, 2004 TO: ADMINISTRATIVE STAFF, RIC CENTER DIRECTORS, RIC CENTER MANAGERS, OFFICE OF BENEFIT SERVICES MANAGERS, U.l. EXAMINERS, TAX OFFICE MANAGERS AND TAX TEAM LEADERS FROM: SHARON M. UNEMPLOYMENTINSURANCEAGENCY SUBJECT: AMENDMENT TO MES ACT: NEW SUBSECTION 43(U) EXCLUDING SERVICES OF AMERICORPS PARTICIPANTS BOMMARrTg~lg;RECTOR Effective July 23, 2004, the Michigan Employment Security Act was amended by Act No. 243 of the Public Acts of 2004. The amendment adds new Subsection 43(u) which provides an exclusion from coverage of services with respect to the following kind of service: (u) Service performed in an Americorps program but only if both of the following conditions are met: (t) The individual performed the service under a contract or agreement providing for a guaranteed stipend opportunity. {it) The individual received the full amount of the guaranteed stipend before the ending date of the contract or agreement. You may recall that about a year ago the Agency changed its long-standing position of excluding services of Americorps participants when the Michigan Court of Appeals issued a decision holding that the services of such individuals should not be excluded . The Michigan Legislature has now amended the Michigan Employment Security Act to again exclude services of Americorps participants. The services are only excluded, however, if performed under a contract or agreement providing for a guaranteed stipend opportunity, and only if the worker received the full amount of the stipend before the ending date of the contract or agreement. PLEASE DISTRIBUTE TO ALL CONCERNED STAFF BEFORE FILING Distribution List: 1-8 Source: Administrative Law and Rules Section Expiration Date : 03/31/05 �Field Release August 6, 2004 Page 2 EFFECT OF AMENDMENT ON CLAIMS Claims having benefit years beginning (BYB) on or before July 18, 2004 will continue to be paid based on Americorps wages. Claims having benefit years beginning (BYB) on and after July 25, 2004 will not include wages earned with Americorps, if the conditions provided in the statute have been met. Also, for benefit years beginning on and after July 25, 2004, base period wages earned as a participant in an Americorps Program cannot be used to establish monetary eligibility for a claim. EFFECT OF AMENDMENT ON EMPLOYER TAXES Quarterly Tax Reports (Forms UIA 1020) filed by contributing employers should report wages paid for services performed through the day before the effective date of the amendment. The amendment was effective on July 23, 2004, so wages for services paid through July 22, 2004 should be reported by the employer. EFFECT OF AMENDMENT ON EMPLOYERS' QUARTERLY WAGE REPORTS Quarterly Wage Reports (Forms UIA 1017) filed by all employers should report wages actually paid to workers through July 22 , 2004. However, wages paid after that date, even though for services performed on or before that date, should not be reported. PROTESTS BY EMPLOYERS If wage information in the Agency's wage record database results in the establishment of a claim beginning July 25, 2004 using wages paid for Amercorps services, a timely protest by the employer should result in the recalculation of the claim (and possibly cancellation of the claim) without including the Americorps wages . If an issue arises about the coverage for services of Americorps participants, benefit adjudication staff is advised to forward the claim to the Multi-Claimant Unit for adjudication. �FY 2004-05 LABOR AND ECONOMIC GROWTH BUDGET H.B. 5521 (CR-1 ): CONFERENCE REPORT Te!e;pft anr~ (51.7} 3'1l~ZI~ 8 Ffi.X1 {51 7] J 78 ·1986 TDD: l517'J 373-0549 FY 2003-04 Year-to-Date Gross Appropriation .............................................................................. . $0 Changes from FY 2003-04 Year-to-Date: Items Included by the House and Senate 1.

Clerk of the House of Representatives Secretary of the Senate Approved _________________________________ Governor 5 �Michigan Citizen Corps October 2004 CITIZEN CORPS COUNCILS: Number of Approved Councils: 45 (27 County/17 Local) Population Served by County/Local Citizen Corps Councils according to year 2000 Census figures: 6,823,827 (69% of total state population) • • Michigan ranks 12th in the nation for councils and population covered. The goal for 2005 is to continue to increase the number of local and county councils. CERT: • • • • • • • • • • • • • • There are currently 18 registered CERT programs . Citizen Corps National has approached major league sports organizations to endorse and support CERT. Michigan Citizen Corps is working with security at Comerica Park and Ford Field to train staff in CERT. Shelby Slater, Detroit Citizen Corps Council , will assist in providing the training for both fields Michigan Citizen Corps will be contacting the University of Michigan and Michigan State University to begin CERT programs at both universities. George Mason University in Virginia has a CERT program. Oakland Community College, where most of the Train-the-Trainer sessions have been held , will begin instructing their security in CERT. Oakland County trained 42 Civil Air Patrol cadets, ages 2-21 , in CERT. They were utilized in the recent Ryder Cup series. CERT is transitioning over to Office of Domestic Preparedness (ODP). Councils with active CERT programs are seeing overwhelming support and interest in the program. Since 2003, over 1700 citizens have been trained in CERT. The establishment of the CERT academy is still in progress with interest from several colleges to train and provide CERT as a continuing education class. Michigan Citizen Corps has received a School Student Emergency Response Training (SERT) curriculum and expect to roll it out soon. Michigan Citizen Corps has received inquires from Oakland University to offer CERT as a continuing education program . The Michigan Salvation Army recently received a Corporation for National and Community Service grant for Special Volunteers and have networked them with the Southfield Citizen Corps Council to provide CERT training of their volunteers . The goal for 2005 will be to continue offering help and assistance to communities to start CERT. Funding to support Train-the-Trainer is being depleted which may limit Councils to one or two classes a year. �OTHER CITIZEN CORPS PROGRAMS: Medical Reserve Corps, Volunteers in Police Service, and Neighborhood Watch are growing. The programs are under Citizen Corps but are administered by other agencies. It has been difficult to establish a close working relationship because of the other agencies administering the programs. Michigan Citizen Corps will continue to keep working on better communications with these agencies. HIGHLIGHTS: • • • • • Michigan Citizen Corps presented at the Michigan Association of Counties conference. Michigan Citizen Corps is currently examing several companies to provide a program to track volunteers, CERT volunteers and other volunteers such as Red Cross, Salvation Army, etc. This information will be used to interface with the Emergency Manager software. Gary Zulinski recently participated in the FEMA national citizen call-out for the Florida Hurricanes. Gary Zulinski will be speaking to the Veterinary Association in October on how they can play an important part in Citizen Corps. o The Veterinary Association has formed VET Corps whereby a group of volunteer veterinarians will be available to treat animals in a disaster situation . Michigan Citizen Corps received a draft of the 2005 Citizen Corps funding guidelines. It appears very similar to the 2004 guidelines and indicates there will be additional funding for next year. SPECIAL PROJECTS: • • • • • Citizen Corps National is supplying funding for the Arabic translation of the CERT program. Dearborn will be forming a Citizen Corps Council and begin training the community in CERT with emphasis in the Middle Eastern community. There was a lot of interest in the CERT translation at the National Citizen Corps Conference recently in Denver and several states requested the information. Representatives from Comerica Park and Joe Lewis Arena just attended the CERT Train-the-Trainer class and plans are in the works to train the entire staff of both facilities. Washtenaw County will be training students in CERT in the school systems in the county. �Michigan Citizen Corps Report on: Citizen Corps Hurricane Deployment Hurricane Charley had just hit Florida and Frances was bearing down to also strike. FEMA has 27 active disasters and were stretched pretty thin with assistance. FEMA contacted Liz DiGregorio, Director of Citizen Corps, Office of Domestic Preparedness, Department of Homeland Security, for assistance from Citizen Corps. Liz contacted FEAM Region V specialists Jim Opoka and the plan was quickly formed and approved to call on representatives from National, State and Local Citizen Corps to conduct a ·national call out of Citizen Corps and affiliate program members to assist with the Florida hurricanes. Jim Opoka called me late Friday, September 3, 2004 requesting me to travel to FEMA Region V headquarters in Chicago to assist in this national call-out. I flew to Chicago early Saturday, September 4, 2004 and met at FEMA Region V Headquarters, Regional Operation Center (ROC). Also assembled were several emergency managers and staff from several Illinois counties. We were quickly briefed on our mission to have 1000 volunteers within 48 hours and 2000 within 7 days, for a two-week deployment. The volunteers went to Atlanta Georgia for training and deployment to the hurricane ravaged areas of Florida . We were all sworn in as FEMA employees. I was appointed as Deputy Director of the operation. The group broke into areas of Operations, Logistics, Planning, and Finance. We started at 7:30am COT, and quickly drafted the necessary documents for the call-out. Immediately after headquarters approved the documents, the announcement went out to 3,100 state, local, CERT, and affiliate contacts. By 8:30pm COT thirteen Citizen Corps volunteers were traveling to Atlanta. Over the next two weeks, working 12-14 hours per day. We called out an additional 500 volunteers for a 4-6 week deployment and processed 3363 volunteers that were sent to Atlanta for training and eventual deployment to Florida, and other states affected by the hurricanes. Michigan sent to Atlanta 74 volunteers for the twoweek deployment and 8 for the 4-6 week deployment. During this deployment Hurricane Ivan struck Florida and Hurricane Jeanne was also on a course to strike Florida. Within 30 days, 4 major hurricanes have struck Florida and caused billions of dollars in damages. This first-ever nationwide activation of Citizen Corps members expands the mission of Citizen Corps from a locally based program to a national resource. By tapping Citizen Corps members who have received first aid or disaster response training and who volunteer in their communities, the state and federal response system has an additional resource for large-scale disasters. In addition to the 5,038 FEMA staff in Florida, emergency response personnel have been deployed from the U.S. Forest Service, the Coast Guard, Health and Human Service, Environmental Protection Agency, the Department of Transportation and Department of Defense. �REGION V CITIZEN CORPS SUPPORT CELL SITUATION REPORT# 17 FINAL Hurricane Frances Citizen Corps Deployment (All times CDT) DATE/TIME OF REPORT: September 17, 2004- 3 p.m. SIGNIFICANT ACCOMPLISHMENTS SPECIAL NEW RECRUITMENT TOTALS: Wed., Sep. 15 Thurs., Sep. 16 Fri., Sep. 17 141 298 158 GRAND TOTAL 595 ISSUES AND POTENTIAL CONCERNS: None at this time FINAL SITREP - Support Cell in stand down status.

In addition, Citizen Corps Councils and volunteer members already established within Florida are supporting state coordinated disaster relief efforts. This first-ever nationwide activation of Citizen Corps members expands the mission of Citizen Corps from a locally based program to a national resource . By tapping Citizen Corps members who have received first aid or disaster response training and who volunteer in their communities, the state and federal response system has an additional resource for large-scale disasters. In addition to the 5,038 FEMA staff in Florida, emergency response personnel have been deployed from the U.S . Forest Service, the Coast Guard, Health and Human Service, Environmental Protection Agency, the Department of Transportation and Department of Defense . "Citizen Corps Councils across the country have been working hard to educate and train citizens in emergency preparedness and response skills and to engage citizens in supporting emergency services within their community. We, at the Department of Homeland Security, are proud to see so many local Citizen Corps participants responding so enthusiastically to the need for help in Florida," said C. Suzanne Mencer, Executive Director of the Office of State and Local Government Coordination and Preparedness. "Citizens across America play an important role in making our communities safer and better prepared and they are a critical resource in responding to events like this - the work of Citizen Corps is definitely paying off." The recent devastation from the hurricanes reinforce the importance of citizen preparedness. September is National Preparedness Month and Citizen Corps Councils across the country are hosting and participating in more than 175 events to raise awareness about the importance of community emergency preparedness, including family preparedness, training, and volunteer support for local emergency responders. These events include: participation in state fairs, promotions at local retail stores, local media public service announcements, 9-11 memorial ceremonies, events at the State capitols, safety demonstrations, disaster drills, preparedness lectures and workshops, and door-todoor distribution of preparedness materials. Citizen Corps is the Homeland Security Department's nationwide grass-roots program created to actively involve Americans in making communities safer, stronger and better prepared for all emergencies including a terrorist attack. Fifty percent of the U.S. population is now served by nearly 1,400 state, county, local and tribal Citizen Corps Councils, which provide opportunities for citizens to participate in a wide range of homeland security activities that help make their families, their homes, and their communities safer from threats of crime, terrorism, and disasters of all kinds. The Department of Homeland Security disseminates information about emergency preparedness through its Ready Campaign, a national public service advertising campaign produced by the Ad Council.

Directors report, etc. First, I'd lik o create two agendas - perhaps you've always done that - an annotated agenda for Dan , Paula and I d then the regular agenda for the group . 1. / on both agendas we need to add the information from the Service-Learning United group . Perhaps r executive summary would be enough . Let's check with Paula on that. ~ j On the annotated agenda only, under Citizen Corps, please add House Bill 5416 - the status, and haps the new Executive Order for Citizen Corps - if we hear anything. Also a review of their agenda from their Dec. meeting . 3. Under the Exec. Director report I want to update them on the Merit Board - they asked us to convene e group or participants at the October retreat - and I would like to report out on what we know currently. Also on foam core wall charts on easels, I'd like to have our three goals visible, and our overlying focus on diversity. 5. I don't think it's necessary at this point to have the wall calendars we talked about for them to sign up for National Mentoring Month activities since we don't have enough activities to fill a calendar at this point.

GRANHOLM , Governor MICHIGAN COMMUNITY SERVICE COMMISSION Chairperson Daniel G. Mulhern 1048 Pierpont, Suite 4 Lansing, Michig an 48913 Telephone: (517) 335-4295 Fax: (517) 373-4977 www.michigan .gov/mcsc Executive Director Janet Lawson MEMORANDUM '· TO: Members of the Michigan Community Service Commission FROM: Janet Lawson, Executive Director DATE: December 3, 2004 RE: Executive Director's Report During the months of October and November, staff members at the Michigan Community Service Commission criss-crossed the state, meeting with grantees, running trainings, collaborating with national training events, convening partnerships and preparing grantees for a successful year. This report and the discussions at our December Commission meeting will reflect that activity. Date October 9, 200~ October 18, 200 ~ October 19, 20 ~ October 20-21, 200 ~ October 22, 2000 November 4, 2005\ November 5, 200'S\ Number of Participants Service Learning Youth Council 16 students Mentor Michigan Regional Meeting 40 participants -Mackinaw City Mentor Michigan Provider Council 25 participants Meeting LEARNS Training 100 participants Training/ Meeting/ Event Mentor Michigan Regional Meeting - Grand Rapids AmeriCorps Member Celebration AmeriCorps Member Council Meeting 1 110 participants 250 participants 15 participants �{_ November 10, 200 ~ I December 1-3, 200 ~ Mentor Michigan Regional Meeting -Detroit AmeriCorps Supervisory Skills Training 125 participants 34 participants Mentor Michigan Three Mentor Michigan Regional Meetings were held in October in Mackinaw City, Grand Rapids and Detroit. Approximately 275 people attended the three events. Consistent at each presentation was an opening address by First Gentleman, Dan Mulhern about the value of mentoring and the value a mentoring experience brings to his life. Dan also gave a Mentor Michigan-Year in Review, highlighting the outstanding achievements of Mentor Michigan in 2004. Bob Kahle, of Kahle Research Solutions Inc. released the results of the mentoring census and customized the data for each regional presentation. Paula Kaiser presented the strength of the Michigan Mentoring Advocacy Network, and Mary Grill summarized the importance of January as National Mentoring Month. To assist with the goal of increasing mentor matches in 2005 and to help build a better mentoring infrastructure, the MCSC received word that we will be awarded a three-year Hudson-Webber grant for mentoring in southeast Michigan. Written confirmation of that grant will be received before year-end. In January we will announce the Mentor Michigan Leadership Council, mentoring champions throughout the state. Members of the Mentor Michigan Leadership Council will commit to be active mentors in their community, speak on behalf of mentoring at community events and to members of their local media, and sponsor an annual mentoring event in their community. Finally, the Governor, the First-Gentleman and the MCSC Commissioners will support National Mentoring Month in January with public speaking engagements, Public Service Announcements, media interviews, Mentor Michigan Sunday's at churches, synagogues, temples and mosques, and the creation of a Mentor Michigan Signature Event. Governor's Service Award We are proud to announce that in 2005 the Governor's Service Awards are being combined with the Carter Partnership Awards in an effort to elevate and align statewide volunteer recognition. This year's event includes a dinner and reception on Tuesday, June 21, 2005 at the Hyatt Regency in Dearborn. At the dinner, open to the public, Governor Granholm, First Gentleman Mulhern and Former First Lady Roslyn Carter will 2 �pay tribute to Michigan's volunteers. The reception preceding the event, hosted by the Governor, First Gentleman and Mrs. Carter is a private affair by invitation only. AmeriCorps In November, we hosted the 2004-05 .Michigan's AmeriCorps Member Celebration. The celebration serves as an orientation and kick off for the members. The members had an opportunity to hear First Gentleman Dan Mulhern and Jumpstart's national director, Rob Waldron. In addition, the members received a national service orientation and attended several workshops to prepare them for their year of service. At the October board retreat we discussed continuing to focus our AmeriCorps funding on mentoring. We anticipate that we would have enough funding to support one program between 30 - 50 members in the next program year. We suggested that we approach the ConnectMichigan Alliance (CMA) to sponsor a statewide AmeriCorps program that would place AmeriCorps members in small mentoring organizations throughout the state. We have had preliminary discussions with CMA on this issue but cannot proceed until we know what our AmeriCorps resources are going to look like for next year. Congress has passed the Corporation's Appropriation bills but the President has yet to sign it. Based on what Congress approved we can expect about a 1% decrease in our AmeriCorps funding. Even with this reduction we will still have funds to support one new program. The Corporation hopes to be able to release funding figures next week. Once we have them we will be able to proceed with the size and scope of the statewide mentoring AmeriCorps program. Volunteer Investment Grants There is confirmation that $250,000. has been appropriated in the 2005 Michigan budget to support Volunteerism. The challenge for the Commissioners is to approve a program that will not only maximize the budget dollars, but also maximize the communities reached while assisting in solvin gaps in service to our communities. Service-Learning United As members of the Michigan Community Service Commission it is important for us to support the work of Service-Learning United. Service Learning United leads the charge in recommending to the Corporation for National and Community Service that current rulemaking enable and encourage the institutionalization of Service-Learning. Our discussion of this process and an understanding of the summary of their work will enable us to support Service-Learning at the national level and in our communities to make sure that the Corporation invests in what we know works. We also want to encourage the Administration and Congress to increase funding that will successfully grow Service-Learning and the necessary funding for sustainability. 3 �On the state level, a recent meeting with the Department of Education will insure a closer affiliation with them and their work. Members of the MCSC staff will present at the Instructional Excellence Seminar in December at the Kellogg Center on how ServiceLearning Strategies can be incorporated into the school environment to enhance the educational experience and make learning relevant for students in high priority schools. Also, in a partnership between the Department of Education Michigan Virtual University and Microsoft Corporation there is an opportunity to add a component on ServiceLearning in the instructional design and delivery of the Grade Level Content Expectations. Merit Awards Discussion at the October MCSC retreat led to a meeting with the Michigan Association of Secondary School Principals (MASSP) regarding the volunteer component of the Michigan Merit Awards. Members of the MCSC staff as well as members of the Michigan Campus Compact, Volunteers Centers of Mich igan, Michigan's Promise, and the ConnectMichigan Alliance will present in December at a meeting of the MASSP to educate the field on the resources available to them for the opportunities, placement and tracking of high school students involved in service. 4 � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Lawson MEMORANDUM TO: MCSC Commissioners FROM: Kathy Young-Welch, MCSC Public Relations Chair DATE: December 10, 2004 RE: MCSC Public Relations Committee Report The Public Relations Committee met on Monday, November 29, at 2:00p.m. via conference call. The following members of the committee were present: Dan Mulhern, Don Newport, Vivian Pickard, Ken Whipple and Kathy Young-Welch. The following staff members were present: Mary Grill, Janice Harvey and Janet Lawson. MCSC Marketing Plan The MCSC Marketing Plan was distributed and the different areas discussed. It was agreed that another section should be added addresses the role of the Commission and branding issues. External Communication: The committee members thought it would be important to do an assessment of the MCSC partners to see what type of internal communication tools (weekly/monthly newsletters, e-bulletins, etc.) they have. The MCSC can then use those tools to share information on events, GSA nominations, etc. It was also suggested to involve the corporate partners in submitting applications for various MCSC awards. The Committee also agreed that there would not be an Annual Report, but possible quarterly E-newsletters. There was also discussion about developing a consistent message and having consistent information to share. A brochure would meet this need. It was also recommended that we see if it is possible to have our statewide data broken down by programs and regions so the Commissioners can have specific information pertaining to their geographical area. Internal Communication: Need to establish an identity for the Commission. The Committee also discussed the branding issues and the difficulty of the all the program logos. �Legislative Relations: The Committee stated that there needs to be more proactive Commissioner updates, that the legislators should be more actively involved in the GSA nomination process, and Commissioners should be know when contacts have been made with legislators in their area. There was brief discussion about an event with Rep. Tobocman (former AmeriCorps member) or Sen. Kuipers, who is a mentor. Program Support: The MCSC needs to promote the idea and concept of AmeriCorps, Learn and Serve, and Citizen Corps. The next meeting of the Public Relations Committee is scheduled for Monday, December 13th at 11:00 a.m. The Mentor Michigan and Governor' s Service Awards Marketing Plans will be discussed. �DRAFT- CONFIDENTIAL Mentor Michigan Leadership Council Rev.

Citizenship I Civic Education: All 13 of the 2003-2004 Michigan's AmeriCorps programs were required to focus on citizenship and ethic of service as a main component of member development. Most programs used all or part of one of the two CNCS-sponsored citizenship curricula: CHP International's "By the People"; or the Constitutional Rights Foundation's "Guide to Effective Citizenship". There was no prescribed method for delivering these trainings, so each program selected topics and activities that they believed were most beneficial and appropriate for their members. Methods included various combinations of facilitated training and reflection, community needs assessment, participation in service projects and volunteering with organizations to address specific community needs, attendance at seminars or community speaking events, and outside readings related to the topic. �Community Strengthening- All activities promoted strengthening ofthe local community, through service and/or education and volunteer recruitment and management. Volunteer Recruitment and Management: All 13 of the 2003-2004 Michigan's AmeriCorps programs were required to set volunteer recruitment goals as part of their community strengthening efforts. The MCSC left it up to each program to determine the number of volunteers per member they would recruit. Programs were encouraged to increase efforts in recruiting and managing long-term volunteers rather than short-term/one-time volunteers. Examples of activities in which AmeriCorps member engaged community volunteers include: Habitat for Humanity builds, Meals on Wheels, National Night Out Crime Prevention, assisting in summer programming for youth, driving children on field trips, school office assistance, planning and on-site management of community service projects, chaperoning high schooVmiddle school dances, school cleaning and maintenance, library assistance, supervision ofyouth operating a school store, student leadership clubs, youth sports and arts assistance, obtaining books for young children in low-income families, helping facilitate elementary student participation in a pen pals program with children from other countries, assisting local students with the collecting and of sending school and sports supplies to children in 3rd world refugee camps, helping with a theater production for the community at-large, and participation in National Days of Service (Make A Difference Day and Martin Luther King Jr. Day, National Youth Service Day, Join Hands Day, Unity Day, etc.).

All indicators show that prevention efforts to help children see positive choices and direction can mitigate the costs associated with crime, poverty, and illiteracy. Mentoring is a key way to provide that direction, yet increasingly it is becoming clear that not all who want a mentor can get one in a rapid and efficient manner. Mentor Michigan will partner with Winning Futures and the community of Detroit to increase the effectiveness and efficiency oflocal mentoring organizations. Mentor Michigan is a statewide program that focuses regional approaches on attracting, placing, and tracking new mentors to provide children the caring adults they need and deserve. Mentor Michigan seeks the support of the Hudson-Webber Foundation to extend a mentoring partnership that will focus on the greater Detroit community. Mentor Michigan and the Metro Detroit Mentor Collaboration (MDMC) an initiative of Winning Futures, will work with local mentoring organizations to increase their capacities and grow the number of individuals who serve as mentors . Statewide, the key to Mentor Michigan's success is strengthening local mentoring organizations by expanding the quantity and quality of their work. Mentor Michigan's partnership in Detroit, with the local expertise and connections ofMDMC, will expand these strengths by focusing on two important components- building and supporting strong local recruitment and screening systems, and the effective and efficient mobilization of Metro Detroit residents and organizations. Together, MDMC and Mentor Michigan will expand an existing mentoring collaborative by bringing together existing mentoring organizations to increase their strength, help defray costs, and increase efficiency of operations. In addition, Mentor Michigan will harness its partnerships, resources, and expertise to develop a tracking and assessment system that will support Metro Detroit and all Michigan mentoring organizations by clearly articulating their impact and needs while increasing their capacity. Background Children are our nation's most important assets . Yet, increasing numbers of young people in America are missing out on something important. 1 They lack the opportunity to establish positive, supportive relationships with caring adults- the kind of relationships that are an essential part of the growing up process. Mentoring helps solve this problem by building relationships between caring, committed adults and young people who stand to benefit from additional attention, guidance, and support. It is a solution that has attracted increasing public attention in recent years. Governor Jennifer Granholm and First Gentleman Daniel Mulhern have committed to recruit 10,000 new mentors in Michigan by 2006. 1 Nationally, only 14% of young people who need a mentor have one. AOL Time Warner Study 2002 �Mentor Michigan Mentor Michigan began when then Michigan Attorney General, Jennifer M. Granholm launched an initiative to gamer 2,000 new mentors by the year 2000. "2000 for 2000" was an innovative initiative that grew from a partnership with a number of organizations including the Prosecuting Attorneys ofMichigan; Volunteers in Prevention, Probation and Prisons, Inc.; Isaiah Thomas Foundation; Office of First Lady Michelle Engler; and the Hudson-Webber Foundation. After the 2002 election, Governor Granholm renewed the call for mentoring in her 2002 State of the State address by committing to recruit 10,000 new mentors by the end of her first term in office. Governor Granholm and First Gentleman Daniel G. Mulhern make their own personal commitment by serving as mentors and by recruiting others through Mentor Michigan Sundays-approaches to local churches. The Governor also went further by asking the First Gentleman to spearhead Mentor Michigan as the Chair of the Michigan Community Service Commission (Commission). The Commission, a state agency that supports volunteerism statewide, administers Mentor Michigan. This ambitious program is identifying and securing resources to support mentoring programs, recruiting mentors, developing and enhancing partnerships to support mentoring, increasing public awareness about mentoring opportunities, needs, and the positive outcomes associated with it, and providing training and support for mentoring programs. Mentor Michigan is built upon three basic beliefs: • Every child has the right to a committed, caring adult in his or her life. • Everyone is responsible for the well being of our children including individuals, businesses, nonprofit and faith-based organizations, education institutions, and government. • Volunteering is a significant way for people to enrich their lives by giving of themselves to children in their community. Evidence shows that children thrive when they have ongoing relationships with caring adults. Mentoring plays a critical role in helping this happen for many children. Therefore, the Commission is committed to ensuring all Michigan youth have positive, supportive relationships with caring adults. Organizational Capacities The unique partnership of the Commission and MDMC provides state and national connections with the local organizations and partnerships. The Commission is a grant-making organization that administers over $6 million in state and federal funds annually to support volunteerism. The Commission has been administering National Service programs since 1991 and currently manages a portfolio of 95 sub grantees. The MCSC has a strong track record for program and fiscal oversight as evidenced by the successful passing of the Federal State Service Commission Administrative Standards review in 2003 and the comprehensive Incurred Cost Audit of Grants Awarded to the Michigan Community Service Commission, OIG Audit Report 02-14. Given its administrative experience and capacity, the Commission will serve as the fiscal agent for this initiative. The Commission will also serve as a connecting agent for the MDMC and national mentoring initiatives including the National Mentoring Partnership. In February 2004, Michigan was named a State Partner of the Mento ring Partnership. The Commission is the lead agency for 2 �Mentor Michigan Michigan ' s Mentoring Partnership and will use this relationship to connect the members of the MDMC with tracking, training and technical assistance, and other national resources. Winning Futures will support the local collaborative-building and maintenance functions of the initiative. Winning Futures is a nonprofit charitable organization dedicated to empowering today's youth to take responsibility for their choices now and in the future, while emphasizing the importance of character, self-reliance,.and personal responsibility. Since the inception of the program in 1994, over 13,000 students have received support and encouragement from Winning Futures and have received scholarships and cash prizes totaling over $1,400,000 to further their educations. Over 500 mentors have been involved, along with 90 companies and 15 schools to create successful partnerships for students. There are three full-time staff members that administer a $210,000 operating budget and annually award $100,000 in scholarships. Winning Futures created the MDMC in August of2003. The collaboration was inspired by the efforts of the Tutor/Mentor Institute in Chicago, Illinois, which is dedicated to helping local mentoring, and tutoring programs stay in business. The MDMC operates as a division of Winning Futures. The founding organizations of the MDMC are: The Art of Leadership Foundation, Mentor Works- A program of Jewish Family Services, Oakland County Mentors Plus, Student Mentor Partners, and Vista Maria. Goals and Objectives Over the next three years, Mentor Michigan will: o Expand and support a Mentor Michigan collaborative of Detroit mentoring organizations and other stakeholders o Engage 30 partners including faith-based organizations, nonprofits, businesses, municipalities, and foundations . Year One and Two o Increase the collective capacity and efficiency of the collaborative members around recruitment, screening, training, and supporting mentors. Year One, Two, and Three o Broker resources for the common interests of the Mentor Michigan partners. Ongoing o Create and implement a comprehensive web-based recruitment and referral system to serve both mentoring organizations and individuals seeking to become mentors. o Develop, implement, and operate a web-based database and intake system. Year One o Register 75 mentoring organizations in the Mentor Michigan web-based system. Year Two o Register 150 individuals in the Mentor Michigan web-based system. On-going o Mobilize, in partnership with the collaborative members, 300 individuals from Oakland, Macomb, and Wayne Counties, but specifically in Detroit, to become mentors by end of 2006. o 50 individuals recruited in Year One o 100 individuals recruited in Year Two o 150 individuals recruited in Year Three Outcomes o Mentor Michigan will work with 300 mentors and as many Detroit-area children to ensure the children' s right to a positive, healthy, and meaningful adult relationship. Year Three 3 �Mentor Michigan o o Mentor Michigan wiii work to provide a comprehensive mentor support system in the greater Detroit area that will include: o An electronic database and recruiting system that will provide "one-stop" access to mentoring opportunities for individuals and a list of potential volunteers to mentoring organizations. This database will also help Mentor Michigan assess mentoring trends and needs through a rigorous data analysis of the individual and organization information. rYear One o A broad coalition of multi-sector representatives will be supported with facilitators to continue the partner efforts in support of Mentor Michigan goals and remain in place to continue to support mentoring efforts beyond the Mentor Michigan 10,000 goal. Year Two Mentor Michigan will provide a three-year commitment to staff Detroit-area Mentor Michigan activities and the Metro Detroit partnership. o A half-time coordinator focused solely on the Detroit-area activities ofMentor Michigan. Year Two o Support from Mentor Michigan AmeriCorps*VISTA members housed in the Detroit area. On-going o A partnership with other statewide mentoring related programming including Detroit's Promise and Mayor's Time. On-going Methods Mentoring Collaborative Over the next three years, the Mentor Michigan Partnership will build a large base of existing mentoring organizations in an alliance with the newly emerging Metro Detroit Mentor Collaboration (MDMC). This alliance will work to develop an even broader collaboration. Currently, the MDMC consists of seven mentoring organizations. The plan is to expand the MDMC by 30 organizations over the next two years. In their initial year, the MDMC plans to engage in education and networking activities that will align well with Mentor Michigan including forums for interaction, seminars, training, and liaison between various mentoring programs. (Attached you will find a more detailed description of the MDMC activities). Mentor Michigan will engage the other local mentoring collaboratives in Michigan to share best practices with the newly emerging MDMC. Other local collaboratives will share their membership make up, purpose, goals, and objectives. They will also share the lessons they have learned in establishing their local mentoring collaborative. Mentor Michigan will also leverage best practices from some of the most effective local mentoring partnerships in the country to benefit MDMC. Year One In the first year of the grant, Mentor Michigan and MDMC will recruit 15 new organizations. Mentor Michigan will use a variety of ways to recruit new members including its database of mentoring programs located throughout the state. Any mentoring program within the metropolitan Detroit area will be invited to join. In addition, Mentor Michigan will post a message to the Mentor Michigan listserv, which consists of more than 700 individuals, asking programs in the Detroit area to join the partnership. Finally, the 250 participants who attended the Mentor Michigan Summit conducted at Focus Hope in December of2003 will be invited to join the partnership. 4 �Mentor Michigan Once the new members are on-board, Mentor Michigan and MDMC will conduct a needs assessment of the partnership members to determine their mentoring programs needs, priorities, efficiencies, and effectiveness. The assessment will also include each program's ability to meet the national Elements of Effective Practice. Once the assessments are completed, the member organizations will be convened to determine the goals and priorities of the collaboration. These will include ways to improve the collective capacity and efficency of the collaborative members around the recruiting, screening, training,.and supporting mentors. The collaboration will meet at least quarterly to address the goals identified. An example of such issues to be addressed collaboratively might be joint recruitment of mentors, screening of mentors, training and supporting mentors, and program evaluation. At the end of the first year, at least two of the identified goals will be addressed. In addition, quarterly training will be offered to members of the partnership in order to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of their mentoring programs. Trainings will focus on issues identified in the needs assessment, and the national Elements of Effective Practice and may include topics such as effective ways of training and supporting your mentors, ways to recruit targeted populations to serve as mentors, program management, liability issues, financial management, program sustainability, and program policies and procedures. Mentor Michigan will leverage the national training resources through the National Mentoring Partnership and the National Mentoring Center. At least 50% of the member organizations will participate in the quarterly trainings. Year Two and Three Recruitment of new partnership members will continue on an ongoing basis through the end of the grant. In year two, an additional 15 new programs will be recruited reaching the grant goal of 30 new members. These organizations will be assessed in a similar fashion to those in the first year. Once the assessments have been conducted, the partnership's goals and priorities will be revised to factor in the new information. The partnership will continue to meet at least quarterly to address the goals and priorities. By the end ofthe second year, two additional goals will be addressed by the partnership. In Year Three, the collaborative will continue to meet at least quarterly to address the goals and priorities. The quarterly training for partnership members will continue in Years Two and Three. By the end of the three-year period, 100% of the members will have participated in at least one of the quarterly trainings. Mobilize 300 Mentors Mentor Michigan, through the MDMC, will recruit 300 new mentors over the three-year period. Based on the data from the Mentor Michigan Census that will be conducted in September 2004, Mentor Michigan will know the current number of mentoring matches in Detroit. In addition, when new members join the collaborative they will be asked to provide the current number of men to ring matches so only new matches will be counted toward the goal of 300 new mentors. Additionally, new members will be asked to identify the number of children they currently have on waiting lists. Recruitment efforts will be focused to address all programs recruitment needs but especially those with significant waiting lists. Mentor Michigan will recruit 50 mentors in Year One, 100 mentors in Year Two, and 150 mentors in Year Three. Mentors will be recruited in a variety of ways. First, January 2005 will be the 4 1h annual National Mentoring Month. During this month national, state, and local organizations focus their 5 �Mentor Michigan efforts to gain media attention around the need for mentoring. In Michigan, we will be focusing our energy on recruiting individual mentors . Our National Mentoring Month activities include public service announcements, print ads, public appearances and interviews with Governor Granholm and First Gentleman Mulhern, and a toolkit for local communities to plan their own events and activities. Mentor Michigan will work with the MDMC and the five Mentor Michigan VISTAs placed in Detroit to plan National Mentoring Month activities to meet needs unique to the Detroit area. Mentor Michigan will partner with the Governor's Office on Faith-based Initiatives to engage faith-based organizations in mentoring. On the third Sunday of every month, Mentor Michigan Sunday, Governor Granholm and First Gentleman Mulhern visit four churches in a community to recruit individuals to become mentors. Annually, at least two of the Mentor Michigan Sunday activities will occur in Detroit. In addition, the Governor annually hosts a Prayer Breakfast with faith leaders and uses the venue to encourage their participation and support for recruiting members of their congregation to mentor. In the first year, the MDMC will coordinate an ongoing community-wide recruitment campaign through a comprehensive mentor recruitment plan. The plan will include PSAs, joint recruitment materials, recruitment events, and media events. The collaborative will spend the remaining two years implementing the recruitment plan in order to ensure at a minimum 300 new mentors are matched with children who need them. Web-based Recruitment and Referral System Year One In year one, Mentor Michigan will create and implement a comprehensive web-based recruitment and referral system to serve both mentoring organizations and individuals seeking to become mentors. The system will allow mentoring organizations to list mentoring programs and mentoring opportunities. In addition, individuals interested in being a mentor will be able to locate programs that meet their interest and availability. All members of the Metro Detroit Mentor Collaboration will be asked to register their programs on the web-based recruitment and referral system. In addition, other mentoring programs in the Detroit area will be encouraged to register their mentoring opportunities on the online system. By the end of year two, at least 75 mentoring programs from the metropolitan Detroit area will be listed in the online system. Throughout the three-year period, Mentor Michigan will promote the online recruitment and referral system to individuals interested in mentoring. In addition, all of the recruitment materials will promote the on-line system. Mentor Michigan intends to register at least 150 individuals into the Mentor Michigan web-based system over the three-year period. Evaluation Mentor Michigan is working with Kahle Research Solutions Inc. to develop an online data tracking system for mentoring programs through out the state. This state of the art tracking system, the Mentor Michigan Census, will provide information that will be used to enhance the effectiveness and efficiency ofMichigan ' s mentoring programs and will track the progress of Mentor Michigan in reaching its goals. The Mentor Michigan Census will measure: • the level of interest in becoming involved in mentoring, 6 �Mentor Michigan • • • • • • • the level of inquiry made by individuals interested in mentoring, the information exchanged between mentoring organizations or the Volunteer Centers and the potential mentor, the number of applications submitted by individuals to become mentors, the number of screening and background checks completed on potential mentors, the amount of training provided to mentors, the number of mentoring matches; and the duration of the mentoring relationship. The census will also provide information on the general organizational characteristics such as type of organization, mission of the organization, staff resources, financial resources, and experience running mentoring programs. It will track information related to the specific mentoring programs such as the type of program, objectives of the program, scope of the program, location, match duration, match intensity, source of mentors and mentees, mentor and mentee waiting lists, self-reported effectiveness, and mentor and mentee characteristics. The Mentor Michigan Census will allow us to track the increase in the number of mentoring matches in the Detroit area. It will also provide important data to determine program efficiencies. We will be able to determine, for example, that only 2 of22 individuals that submit an application actually get matched with a child. This data will be shared with programs to help them identify issues to improve their efficiencies. We will also be able to determine ifmentoring programs are becoming more cost efficient. At this point, the Census will not be able to track the impact of the mentoring or the effectiveness of the mentoring activities. These impacts, while desirable, are beyond the scope and scale of this proposal. Resources and Sustainability Mentor Michigan' s goal of securing 10,000 mentors is currently supported through the staffing, financial and leadership support of Governor Granholm and the Commission. Currently, Mentor Michigan is leveraging resources from multiple avenues including nearly $1 million in federal funding through the Corporation for National and Community Service. In addition to the national service resources, Mentor Michigan successfully secured $60,000 from the Mentoring Partnership to create a mentoring public policy agenda. The Commission is seeking other public and private sector support for long-term support of the Mentor Michigan initiative (see "Other Resources Dedicated to Mentor Michigan"). Staff from the Office ofthe First Gentleman, Office of the Faith-based and Community Initiatives, and the Commission spearhead Mentor Michigan. As part of its support ofMentor Michigan, the Commission has focused part of its AmeriCorps and other programming funding toward mentoring programs. In addition, the Commission brokered a 25-member VISTA program (operated by a state partner organization, the ConnectMichigan Alliance) to support and create 10 mentoring collaboratives all across Michigan. In addition, the Commission has created the Mentor Michigan Providers Council, a statewide advisory board, that will help ensure a broad base of support for long-term sustainability. There will also be a Mentor Michigan Leadership Council appointed by Governor Granholm in the Winter of2005 that will focus much of its energy on the sustainability of Mentor Michigan. 7 �Mentor Michigan Winning Futures is equally committed to the long-term sustainability of the MDMC. In partnership with Mentor Michigan, they plan to leverage additional resources to support the MDMC. Funding options are currently being explored and include the possibility of charging membership dues, revenue generated from training and other support services, and other foundation or corporate support. Once the collaboration is solidified, sustainability options will be explored and initiated. 8 �Mentor Michi gan Budget Mentor Michigan Description- Hudson Webber Foundation Year 1 Year 2 Year3 Salaries Benefits $ 49,500 $ 9,500 $ 47,630 $ 9,880 $49,300 $ 10,200 Training and Technical Assistance $ 20,000 $ 12,500 $ 3,000 Web Development and Maintenance $ 10,000 $ 6,000 $ 2,000 Convening $ 5,500 $ 2,990 $ 1,000 5,000 $ 4,000 $ 1,000 Printing & Dissemination $ 10,000 $ 5,000 Evaluation $ 12,500 $ 10,000 $7,500 Supplies $ $ 2,000 $ 1,000 Total $125,000 $100,000 $75,000 Travel $ 3,000 $ 0 Other Resources Dedicated to Mentor Michigan Cash MCSC Staff National Service Funding NMP Public Policy Grant Corporate Contributions Total $0 $902 ,221 $60,000 $25,000 $987,221 In-kind Total $85,778 $85,778 $0 $902 ,221 $0 $60 ,000 $0 $25 ,000 $85,778 $1,072,999 9 �Mentor Michi gan Budget Narrative Salaries The Mentor Michigan Coordinator will be devoting 50% of their time at a rate of $50,000 annually with an annual Cost of Living Allowance of 4%.

The collaboration was inspired by the efforts of the Tutor/Mentor Institute in Chicago, Illinois, which is dedicated to helping local mentoring, and tutoring programs stay in business. The initial concept of the MDMC was to bring together mentoring programs in Metro Detroit to network, share ideas, and celebrate the work of mentors. Winning Futures contacted 12 local organizations that were affiliated with the National Mentoring Partnership to become the core programs in the MDMC. The plan was for the organization to make its debut with a dinner to honor "Mentors of the Year." Once responsibilities and expectations for a commitment were communicated, six programs made the decision to move the MDMC forward. The founding organizations of the MDMC are: The Art of Leadership Foundation, Mentor Works- A program of Jewish Family Service, Oakland County Mentors Plus, Student Mentor Partners, Vista Maria, and Winning Futures. The MDMC operates as a division of Winning Futures. The goals of the MDMC are to: • Create a forum for mentoring organizations to network and interact • Provide seminars and training to strengthen all aspects of mentoring organizations • Be local mentoring advocates to educate the public about mentoring and to aid in mentor recruitment campaigns • Become a partner with Mentor Michigan and act as their liaison to Metro Detroit mentoring programs • Host a mentor celebration during National Mentoring Month (January) to honor local mentors During the first year, the MDMC created a structure for the organization. Through the support of the UAW Region 1, the first Mentor Celebration Dinner honored seven "Mentors of the Year" with 250 dinner participants. Also, the MDMC began planning quarterly seminars for mentoring programs and created a partnership with Mentor Michigan. The goal was to continue the collaboration with the six core programs and to begin involving additional groups through seminars. By the end of2005, the MDMC plans to network with 50 local mentoring programs through seminars and have 14 programs participate in the annual Mentor Celebration Dinner. The first MDMC seminar, "Sustainability ofMentoring Programs- ten key factors for program success" will be held in August 2004. To date, 30 organizations are registered to participate in the seminar, and hopefully, to become part of the MDMC. Each year, the MDMC will be reviewed by the founding organizations and Mentor Michigan to evolve the program to meet the needs of local mentoring programs and to set new goals. Seminar participants will also evaluate the effectiveness of each event. 11 �Mentor Michigan Attachment 2 Michigan Community Service Commission Board of Commissioners Ms. Rani Bahadur Michigan Asian Indian Family Services Dr. Kenneth Bensen Habitat for Humanity of Michigan Ms. Elizabeth Bunn International Union UA W Mr. Robert Collier Council of Michigan Foundations Mr. Jimmie Comer Lear Corporation Ms. Pamela Faris Office of the Lt.

Program History & Details Winning Futures is an innovative, motivational, strategic planning, and mentoring program for youth. The program was founded in 1994 in the Warren Consolidated School District to create partnerships for students with the community. Winning Futures creates, publishes, and facilitates personal development curriculum. The curriculum includes instruction on self-esteem, character values, career exploration, goal setting, strategic planning, and creating five-year plans. Mentoring takes place in a structured classroom setting where adults guide students through the program's curriculum. Winning Futures is designed to support all middle school and high school students, as well as, the at-risk populations. After the completion of a Winning Futures Mentoring Program, students may be eligible to apply for scholarships to continue their education. Three full-time staff members administer a $210,000 operating budget and annually award an additional $100,000 in scholarships in support of Winning Futures. The scholarships come directly from investment income from an endowment. The operating budget comes from through grants, business sponsorships, and individual donations . Mentorsbip Winning Futures operates mentoring programs for youth in Southeast Michigan. The program also assists schools and community organizations in creating their own mentoring program based on Winning Futures philosophies and practices. Any volunteer has the capacity to make a difference while working with the Winning Futures Curriculum. The program trains organizations on how to recruit mentors from their community and to create a mentor-friendly program. Along with staff development, Winning Futures also hosts trainings for mentors using a comprehensive training manual. In 2003, Winning Futures created the Metro Detroit Mentor Collaboration to bring together mentoring programs in Metro Detroit to network, recruit mentors, host training seminars, and celebrate the work of mentors. Business-Education Partnerships Winning Futures operates as a non-profit 50l(c)(3) through the Community Foundation of Greater Rochester. The program is funded through corporate and individual sponsorships, along with grants. School districts also financially support Winning Futures' programs in the schools. �Accolades Since 1994, over 13,000 students have completed Winning Futures and $1.4M has been awarded in scholarships. Winning Futures has received numerous awards including Governor Engler's Distinguished Business-Industry Community Service Award, recognition by United States Secretary of Education Richard E. Riley, and Michigan Education Association "Exemplary Selection" in Showcasing Public Success ... Over 300 mentors and volunteers participate in the program each year. Since the inception ofthe program, it has received a 100% approval rating from teachers and mentors. This year, mentors stated that eight out of ten students in the program have become more focused about their futures, have improved their overall attitudes, and have benefited from learning about the goal setting process. 14 �A Winning Eutures Advisory Board for Winning Futures Mike Boguth, Owner and General Manager, Hamilton Chevrolet Joseph Budd, Vice-President, Smith Barney Kerry Budry, CEO, QEK Global Solutions Lee Burt, CFO, QEK Global Solutions Sam Cupp, CEO, Hamilton Group Management Tony Feyers, International Representative, UAW Region 1 Sandy Gernhart, Director Employee Relations, Delphi Automotive Systems Myrle Hughes, Account Manager, TI Automotive Bob Morley, Jr., Owner, Creative Wealth Strategies Kay Darden-Ramsey, Manager, General Motors Dan Schafer, Director of Special Program, Warren Consolidated Schools Gino Wickman, Owner, Solutions at Work Board of Directors for the Community Foundation of Greater Rochester Edward A.

Welcome and Introduction - Chairperson Mulhern The meeting was called to order at 12:15 p.m. by Chairperson Mulhern and he welcomed everyone to the meeting. He asked everyone to introduce themselves, share what volunteer service or type of mentoring they participate in, and share their concern or hope for the Commission. Chairperson Mulhern shared that his hopes for the meeting are that we continue to learn; whether it be a new Commissioner learning what the Commission is about, Janet Lawson as the new Executive Director, or former Commissioners who are still learning the jargon. The implication means that there are no stupid questions . His second hope is that Commissioners will leave the retreat clearer about their collective role in their individual contribution, that it will be made clear today what the Commission ' s value-added is and what the Commission delivers, and what Commissioners can do to make it work. The third area is the commitment around our goals . II. Review and Approval of May 24, 2004 Minutes- Chairperson Mulhern Chairperson Mulhern asked for a motion to approve the minutes from the May 24, 2004 board meeting. Commissioner Parker moved to approve the minutes, Commissioner Newport seconded the motion. The motion passed unanimously. III. Standing Committee Reports A. Executive Committee - Chairperson Mulhern 1. Review Executive Committee Report Chairperson Mulhern discussed the minutes of the August 20, 2004, Executive Committee meeting which were distributed to board members . During the meeting (via conference call) they approved the agenda for the October 12-13, 2004, MCSC Board Meeting and Retreat, received an 2 �update on MCSC initiatives including a $60,000 grant from the National Mentoring Partnership for Mentor Michigan, and approved staff recommendations for Learn and Serve School-Based Grants. Chairperson Mulhern explained the three categories of Learn and Serve grants (implementation, institutionalization and ISD/Higher Education partnerships). A memo from Paula Kaiser dated August 16, 2004, outlined the proposals. A Commissioner Parker asked what staff was going to do to increase applicants from Detroit. Paula Kaiser explained that the Commission wants to have some discussions with Wayne County RESA about where they feel would be the best opportunity in the Detroit area. The issue is the MCSC doesn' t receive a lot of money to sub-grant and for Detroit Public Schools to get $40,000 to implement service-learning is not a lot of money. Part of the challenge is it' s not a lot of money for them to come after and the requirements are quite lofty. It will require the MCSC to have a different conversation with them to get into the Detroit Public Schools. Commissioner Parker suggested looking at other school systems and public academies. There are over 40 charter schools in the area that might be interested in working with the Commission is this area. Ms. Kaiser shared that the Commission will be doing some regional training for service-learning to look at some of the areas where the MCSC hasn't traditionally received applications and offer training for those communities and generate interest. Chairperson Mulhern asked for a motion to approve the Executive Committee's actions for funding the Learn and Serve Michigan SchoolBased recommendations. Commissioner Smith moved to approved the motion and Commissioner O'Day seconded the motion. The motion passed unanimously. Chairperson Mulhern discussed the minutes of the June 18, 2004, Executive Committee meeting which were distributed to board members. During the meeting (via conference call) they approved staff recommendations for 2004 Michigan ' s AmeriCorps funding. Chairperson Mulhern explained that the funding is formula funding . A memo from Paula Kaiser dated June 16, 2004, outlined the proposals. Chairperson Mulhern asked for a motion to approve the Executive Committee' s actions for the 2004 Michigan ' s AmeriCorps funding. Commissioner O'Day moved to approved the motion and Commissioner Comer seconded the motion. The motion passed unanimously with Commissioner Parker abstaining. 3 �Commissioner Parker asked why the Detroit programs that were funded didn ' t have a mentoring component, as several of the other programs included mentoring. Ms. Kaiser explained that only new programs requesting AmeriCorps funding had mentoring as a priority. If the programs were already being funded and were up for renewal, they were asked to consider incorj)orating mentoring in their program in some way but it was not a requirement. Mentoring is a priority but we are not saying that 100% of AmeriCorps funding is going to support mentoring, but also some of the other community needs such as early childhood development. Commissioner Parker would like to see programs in Detroit focus more around mentoring. Chairperson Mulhern asked ifthere were a ratio of applicants that don ' t make it through the AmeriCorps funding process because of the application process. Ms. Kaiser explained that the AmeriCorps program is complicated and difficult to run so it prevents small organizations from considering it because of what it requires. A prime example is an AmeriCorps program that was approved, American Red Cross, notified us recently that they are not ready this year and are declining their grant. There was another program that applied last year and then felt they weren't ready and then reapplied this year and were accepted. Sometimes it takes programs a couple of years to understand the application process. Mr. Caldwell explained that when AmeriCorps first started in 1994, there was an influx of applications coming in at the top of the funneL But by the time you got to the end of the process, there was a smaller application pooL Now we get a very shallow amount of organizations at the top of the funnel because the organizations know about AmeriCorps and what their capacity is or isn't. Also there was the recent scare with the drastic cut in AmeriCorps funding which means we could lose folks that are interested. So we have less drop out now than we did at the beginning. Chairperson Mulhern suggested a summary for the board looking at diversity, how well we're supporting the Commission's initiatives, and whether people come back that second year or not. IV. Executive Directors Report- Kyle Caldwell A. Learn and Serve Funding Recommendations Mr. Caldwell explained that the Commission was recently notified by the Corporation that it cannot fund private schools and that only local education agencies are eligible for funds. The MCSC had an applicant apply for the funding, St. Charles Borromeo, which is a private school. 4 �Coldwater Public Schools has agreed to serve as the fiscal agent for the grant for St. Charles Borromeo. Staff is recommending approval for funding for an implementation grant at the amount of$15 ,000. Chairperson Mulhern asked for a motion to approve the Learn and Serve School-Based grant for Coldwater Public Schools. Commissioner Newport made a motion to approve the grant, Commissioner O 'Day seconded the motion. The motion passed unanimously. B. Review ofMCSC Budget and Finances Mr. Caldwell discussed the Financial Statement dated October 1, 2004. C. State Legislative Update Mr. Caldwell explained legislative activity that has been happening relating to the MCSC . He explained House Bill 5598 which states that AmeriCorps members are not eligible for UI so long as they are able to complete their terms . For example, if an AmeriCorps program goes out of business prematurely before the end of a member' s term, as long as that member has another area to serve out their term, they are not eligible for U.I. There has never been a case where a member has been thrown out of a program and not been able to complete their term of service. This sounds minor but for the nonprofit organizations that were hosting AmeriCorps programs, they did not have UI set aside, so this was a huge ISSUe . Another piece of legislation that affects the Commission relates to the Volunteer Investment Grants. They were zeroed out by the legislature. Mr. Caldwell explained House Bill 5416 that relates to Citizen Corps. It is stalled in committee. This bill requested liability coverage for those serving in Citizen Corps activities. This was especially important because volunteers that are involved in Citizen Corps activities are at high risk because of the nature ofthe work they will do. This bill was to seek volunteer exemption just like every other volunteer in Michigan and that those serving in Citizen Corps will be covered. D. National Landscape 1. Post-November Mr. Caldwell shared that the Commissioners received in their board packets national service plans outlined by the Presidential candidates. 2. Rulemaking Mr. Caldwell explained that AmeriCorps required a tremendous amount of fixing. That came out clearly when AmeriCorps funding was slated for cuts. For the last five years Congress has tried to legislate these issues but couldn't get a bill passed. The Corporation, Congress and the President 5 �have asked that changes through rulemaking be done. The four issues that need to be handled are program quality, match requirement, mandated cost caps, and to make sure decision-making authority is channeled down to the state and local levels. State commissions and programs have asked that the Corporation look at that. Mr. Caldwell also handed out a letter from America' s Service Commission (ASC) to David Eisner explaining all of these issues in de(ail and explaining what the state commissions want and don't want changed. There are three areas that ASC is addressing: • What is at stake is state commissions and programs control over how long they will receive federal funding . • The level at which the commissions and programs will receive funding. • What issues and areas AmeriCorps funding can be appropriated towards. In a nutshell, the letter/whitepaper from ASC asks to allow states to have that control. If you're going to put in a sustainability policy, let the states use their own. If you're going to look at selection and grant criteria, be very careful. Commissioner Pardoe thanked Kyle Caldwell for his hard work because he is the one who really drove this on the national level , and spent many long hours at night and on weekends drafting this. 3. Appropriation Mr. Caldwell explained that the House and Senate are negotiating the AmeriCorps budget and should end up with the President's recommendation. What this means for Michigan is either a flat or slight increase in budget. The goal next year is to recruit 75 ,000 members and the only way to do that is with increased funding. 4. National Service Mr. Caldwell shared the exciting news that there is now a National Service Congressional Caucus. 5. Learn and Serve Mr. Caldwell explained the 55 in 05 campaign to increase funding for Learn and Serve. Chairman Mulhern asked for a motion to adjourn the Board Meeting. Commissioner Parker made a motion to adjourn and Commissioner Pardoe seconded the motion. The MCSC Board Meeting adjourned at 2:00pm to begin the MCSC Board Retreat. 6 �The MCSC Board Meeting re-adjourned on Wednesday, October 13, at 12:00 pm VI. New business - Chairperson Dan Mulhern A.

The motion passed unanimously. Commissioner Collier moved that the Commission should put together a resolution of appreciation to be presented to Mary Pfeiler at an appropriate event. She has been an integral partner and ally for this movement in Michigan.

The motion passed unanimously.

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. Mel Stephens, Vice President of Corporate Communications at Lear, welcomed the Commissioners and gave a presentation on Lear Corporation. Jerry Dash then spoke about VIP Mentoring. Commissioner Comer spoke on Lear Corporation's mentoring program and how mentoring has affected his life. Chairperson Mulhern congratulated Mary Pfeiler on her retirement and presented her with a Governor's Proclamation and thanked her for all of her efforts in working the MCSC. II. Review and Approval of October 12-13, 2004 Minutes - Chairperson Mulhem Chairperson Mulhem asked for a motion to approve the minutes from the October 12-13, 2004 board meeting. Commissioner Mawby moved to approve the minutes, Conunissioner Whipple seconded the motion. The motion passed unanimously. III. Standing Committee Reports A. Logo Ice Breaker - the Commissioners went tlu·ough an ice breaker game that showed all the different logos related to the MCSC. B. Public Relations Committee - Commissioner Young-Welch thanked Mary Grill for all her work on the different marketing plans. She explained the Commissioners Communications Assessment Tool form and asked them to respond with what type of media tools the Conunissioners have at their organizations. She then explained that the Commission needs to develop an identity so that organizations know what the MCSC does. There are three different marketing plans : a MCSC Marketing Plan, a Mentor Michigan Marketing Plan, and a GSA Marketing Plan. Mary Grill went through the MCSC Marketing Plan and explained that it is a one year marketing plan that wi ll be overseen by the PR Committee and is designed to be implemented by the MCSC staff with involvement of the MCSC Commissioners. Commissioner Young-Welch shared that there is a need to take a look at what kind of messages are coming out of the MCSC 2 �activities. The PR Committee would like to produce a brochure about the messages and programs of the Commission. Chairperson Mulhern asked the Commissioners if they were comfortable with the role they will be playing. Several Commissioners answered that they were happy to play a leadership and organizing role as Commissioners and to also promote the Commission. Chaitman Mulhern shared that the big role is to get the message out. Mary Grill discussed the Mentor Michigan and Governor' s Service Awards Marketing Plans, distributed at the meeting. Both are a one-year strategy that will also be overseen by the PR Committee and will be implemented by the MCSC staff and Commissioners. Mary Grill invited the Commissioners to complete the Mentor Michigan Conunitment Form for National Mentoring Month. A tool kit will be provided to the Commissioners to help them with their emails, letters, etc., dming National Mentor Month. Mary Grill explained the Governor' s Service Awards Marketing Plan. The main goals are to increase the number of GSA nominations to 225 and to increase the number of dinner participants. Commissioner Maw by stated that in terms of collaboration and getting diversity and geographic participation, the Volunteer Centers, Community Foundations and Campus Compacts should be collaborators to help get good participation. C. Fund Development Committee - Conunissioner Pickard explained that the Fund Development Conunittee began working in September to solicit corporations for funds for the Governor's Service Awards. The MCSC will partner with the Carter Partnership Awards which will mean higher stakes to reach. The Conunittee will meet immediately after the December board meeting to develop a strategy to raise the funds. IV. Executive Directors Report - Janet Lawson Janet Lawson shared that the MCSC staff has been busy with several different trainings, meetings, and other events throughout the months of October, ovember and December and outlined them in a chart in the Executive Director's Report. A. Mentor Michigan - Paula Kaiser explained that three regional Mentor Michigan meetings were held (Mackinac City, Grand Rapids and Detroit area) and over 275 people participated in the meetings. The meetings were held to give an update of what Mentor Michigan has accomplished in the past year. Mr. Mulhern pruiicipated in the meetings and gave the Mentor Michigan update. Bob Kahle provided results from the Mentor Michigan census so folks cou ld see what mentoring is beginning to look 3 �like in the state. Professional development h·aining and teclmical assistance were offered in the second part of the meeting. There was a great response to the meetings and the MCSC will continue to hold these type of meetings. Ms. Kaiser announced that the MCSC will be receiving a 3-year grant from the Hudson Webber Foundation for $300,000 ($125,00 the first year, $100,000 the second year, and $75,000 the third year). The grant will focus on mentoring in southeast Michigan because that is their catchment area. It will also be used to strategically accomplish some broader Mentor Michigan goals. A copy ofthe Hudson Webber deliverables and the proposal that was submitted were included in the Commissioner meeting packets. The focus will be on recruitment in the metropolitan Detroit area and furthering the development of the Metro Detroit Mentoring Collaborative. Janet Lawson passed out a draft list of names for the Mentor Michigan Leadership Council and asked the Commissioners to take a look at the list and make suggestions for additional council members. This group will meet once to kickoff the council and then will be asked to be spokespersons in their communities. A list of Mentor Michigan Leadership Council participation criteria will be developed. B. Governor's Service Awards/Carter Partnership Awards - Mary Grill explained that this year the MCSC is working with the Michigan Campus Compact to combine the Governor' s Service Awards with the Carter Partnership A wards which includes the event and the fundraising. The event will include the Governor and First Gentleman and also Roslyn Carter. C. AmeriCorps/Volunteer Investment Grants/Mentor Michigan - Janet Lawson explained that the MCSC is looking at funding support for ArneriCorps, Mentor Michigan and Volunteer Investment Grants. Two areas that the MCSC would like to address with funding is how to impact our communities and build the capacity of our commtmities. Regarding agencies the MCSC works with (Volunteer Centers and Mentoring programs), how do we close the gap between the recruitment and the placement of volunteers - particularly mentors. We have three goals for these projects: 1. Create conm1unity impact and build organizational capacity in all three program areas; 2. To close the gap in the recruitment and placement of volunteers, specifically mentors; 3. To implement the Mentor Michigan Marketing Plan. 4 �The MCSC would like to build the organizational capacity of mentoring agencies with minimal yearly budgets by placing 40-50 AmeriCorps members into those agencies. The members would be "housed" within the ConnectMichigan Alliance. The MCSC will be receiving $250,000 for Volunteer Investment Grants and would like to use the funding to assist in closing the gaps in recruitment and placement of volunteers, specifically mentors. The MCSC will do this in three steps: 1. Convene the Volunteer Centers ofMichigan leadership to have them defme where the gap is in the placement of volunteers. 2. To identify the top two or three capacity issues with measurable objectives. 3. To design a competitive bid process around those issues with the understanding that the identification of the issue might say that the biggest issue we have is around 1-800-Volunteer. Is it used well, do we need to develop and promote it, or will it be better to have the VIG go to the Volunteer Centers ofMichigan so that we can develop the 1-800-Volunteer statewide rather than to break it up into small local amounts. The fmal piece of the Volunteer Investment Grant would be to place $50,000 of the VIG into a staff person for Mentor Michigan for one year to work through the Mentor Michigan Marketing Plan and the goals the MCSC would like to accomplish this year. Kyle Caldwell gave a brief summary of the history of Volunteer Investment Grants. There is currently over $4.5 million in endowed funding for volunteer centers. Paula Kaiser explained the federal budget for national service. The MCSC will have about a 1% decrease in ArneriCorps funding. There will not be funding available for new programs because of commitments to current programs for renewals. It doesn't make sense for the MCSC, with a limited amount of resources, to hold a statewide competitive bid process to fund one program. It would be better for the MCSC to sh·ategically recruit a very specific mentoring program that can help build the capacities of these small budgeted organizations. There may also be a very limited amount of dollars available in competitive ftmding that the MCSC will try to leverage with a statewide mentoring program. If the MCSC can't leverage those competitive dollars we will be able to use what little formula dollars we have to fund it. Commissioner Collier made a motion to move forward with the plan for the Volunteer Investment Grants to connect them with ArneriCorps, the Volunteer Centers and Mentor Michigan. There was discussion on the 5 �plan. The plan would use $50,000 ofthe Volunteer Investment Grant for staffing for Mentor Michigan and $200,000 to volunteer centers either at the statewide level or locally. This will be paired with funding allowing 40-50 AmeriCorps members through CmmectMichigan Alliance. Commissioner Smith seconded the motion. The motion passed unanimously. V. D. Service-Learning United - Kyle Caldwell gave a brief overview of Service-Learning United and funding and rule making process around service-learning. He explained that there is a letter to David Eisner in the Commissioners meeting packet that outlines the goals of the organization. E. Citizen Corps - Janet Lawson gave an update on Citizen Corps. The Citizen Corps Council met last Monday where some hurricane volunteers spoke. She also shared that the two legislative bills (HB 5416 and HB 6032) that related to Citizen Corps have both died in the legislature. Gary Zulinski gave an update on a school CERT program administered through Eastern Michigan University at Milan High School where the students will receive college credit. The Arab CERT translation program is also moving forward. F. MERIT Awards- Janet Lawson and Angelia Salas gave an update on meetings that took place recently regarding the MERIT awards and shared that progress is being made on educating the schools on service. G. Financial Report - Garry Gross gave an overview of the MCSC Financial Report and outlined the administrative funding cut. There was discussion on accepting private funding. Chairperson Mulhern thought that this would be a good topic for discussion at an upcoming meeting or board retreat. Review ofMCSC Program Goals The MCSC staff presented the program area goals (see attached goals document). Conunissioners requested talking points about the different program areas. Paula explained that there are one-page program descriptions in the Commissioner Key Information Binders. They also suggested that they should be tailored towards specific audiences (college, youth, etc.). Chairperson Mulhern suggested that we could address that at an upcoming meeting. He also suggested that the talking points could have one or two questions to engage people. An example would be around how people feel about using public funds to leverage volunteer support and what they think we have to do to establish that. V. Public Comment 6 �• Commissioner Collier recognized Mary Pfeiler for all of her contributions to the Commission on behalf of the Corporation for National and Community Service. Mary is retiring in January 2005. VII. Adjourn - Chairperson Mulhem Chairperson Mulhem asked for a motion to adjourn. The meeting was adjoumed at 4:09pm. 7 � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Amy Cohen, Director, Learn and Serve America Corporation for National & Community Service 1201 New York Avenue NW Washington, DC 20525 Dear Mr. Eisner and Ms. Cohen: Thank you for reaching out to the public to help frame the proposed rule for Learn & Serve America (LSA) as included in the October 12, 2004 Federal Register Notice . As the practitioners, implementers, and supporters of this work, we greatly appreciate the opportunity to help shape the future of LSA. We believe that the work ofLSA is vital to our country's future . Our democracy is at serious risk because too often our own people take for granted the rights and responsibilities that are the basis of our freedom . Service-learning is a vital component in schools and communities that are addressing the civic education and community engagement crisis in this country. Indeed, former Senator John Glenn, chair of the National Commission on Service-Learning, called service-learning "the single best way to educate young people for active citizenship in a democracy." We appreciate that the goals of servicelearning, which include insuring that students have the highest quality experience possible, are not only bipartisan and noncontroversial, they are also goals that are shared by the Corporation. Below, we have outlined a broad framework as an effective and sustainable approach for the future ofLSA along with a more detailed response to the questions posed by the Federal Register Notice. Proposed Rule Must Enable and Encourage the Institutionalization of Service-Learning We applaud the Corporation for National and Community Service (Corporation) for its bold vision and goal of having service-learning in half of all schools, colleges and community-based organizations (CBOs) by 20 10. However, the Corporation' s vision can best be realized by encouraging the institutionalization of service-learning across school districts, consot1iums, states, CBOs, and within higher education. The rules should be designed to go beyond the Corporation's strategy of spreading the seeds of service-learning far and wide, to deepening the practice within institutions and structures where it will hold and spread from within. The service-learning field has matured to a point where rulemaking should encourage systemic change. The best role for the Corporation is to create systemic change that leads to the infusion of service-learning throughout our nation's schools, colleges, universities and CBOs. This approach advocates against time limits, automatic preferences for new grantees and a multiple sub-grant approach. Instead, the focus should be on increased oppm1unities for engaging outside experts into the process, teacher training, sharing of best practices, and making larger grants that are designed to embed the practice within educational systems and communities. Only by investing in strategies that institutionalize service-learning, and not placing arbitrary time limits on grantees, can we guarantee that service-learning will be in half of our nation ' s schools, colleges, universities and CBOs in 2010 and well into the future. �Version 11-30-04 Invest in What Works The future ofLSA and the Corporation's priorities must stress investment in what works. We are proud of the tremendous accomplishments our partnership with the Corporation has had in growing servicelearning over the last 10 years. Together we have been able to expand the field with limited resources. However, at this point in the field's maturation, investing in systemic, sustainable service-learning initiatives is the key to reaching all students in a meaningful way. The Corporation should stress investment in what works and expanding resources to spread that success to this generation and beyond. To abandon successful and innovative programs in favor of pure expansion would move away from institutionalization toward transitory programming, and do irreparable harm to the goal of ensuring that all young people can one day participate in service-learning. One of the assets of LSA is its cost-effectiveness and ability to leverage additional dollars . According to a study conducted between 1994 and 1997 by Alan Melchior of the Center for Human Resources at Brandeis University, service-learning through LSA provided a roughly 4:1 return on investment, with a substantially higher average return (as high as 11: 1) for the larger, district wide programs. Clearly, service-learning is already a cost effective way to engage children as participatory citizens from a young age, and to start them on a lifelong path to service in their conmmnities. Federal Investment in LSA Must be Increased While we understand that funding issues for LSA cannot be addressed through rulemaking, it is critical that the larger picture of LSA is part of the discussion. Clearly, the federal leadership role the Corporation has played through its funding is critical to encouraging schools at every level to reclaim their civic mission. The Corporation is the single largest funder of service-learning through LSA and its other national service programs. Its continued investment is critical to building the support structure necessary for instilling the habits of good citizenship and fostering a lifelong ethic of service among young people. But, funding for LSA has remained flat at $43 million over the last decade, even as it continues to leverage significant amounts of private sector and state funding. Rather than asking grantees to increase their obligation to leverage fewer dollars, the Corporation should promote LSA with the Administration and Members of Congress to secure larger and more permanent funding increases in the future . Federal funding for LSA should be drastically increased over the next five years so that schools, CBOs, institutions ofhigher education, states, and ultimately, the Corporation, can maintain and deliver the best outcomes for young people and their communities. Again, it is our firm belief that focusing on institutionalization of service-learning can help both the Corporation and the field work together to reach our mutual goals. This can only happen if all agree that increasing funding rather than working toward over-leveraging an existing successful model will ensure future growth of service-learning. Thank you for the opportunity to continue to play a role in setting the direction of this incredibly important cause. Sincerely, Jeffrey B.

A: The key to ensuring sustainable pm1icipatron in service-learning is for the Corporation to commit to a systemic approach to implementing service-learning in schools and communities across the country. Every grantee and subgrantee should demonstrate how the grant would be used to put into place the policies, practices, and infrastructure support necessary to support service-learning beyond the grant period. LSA grants should require grantees and subgrantees to develop plans and make demonstrable progress toward the goal of infusing service-learning as a methodology into the structures of local education agencies (LEA), college campuses, and community-based organizations. These efforts could be demonstrated via progress in several categories including: inclusion of service-learning into the district or LEA teacher professional development plan, integration of service-learning requirements into student education requirements, development of staff positions to support service-learning, etc. According to a study conducted between 1994 and 1997 by the Center for Human Resources at Brandeis University, the average service-learning program costs only $52 per student, less than one percent of the average per-pupil expenditure as determined by the U.S. Department of Education. Clearly, servicelearning is already a cost effective way to engage children as participatory citizens from a young age and to start them on a lifelong path of service to their communities. Q: Should we grant competitive preferences to organizations that have never before received Learn and Serve America funds? How should these questions apply to grantees that operate local programs directly and to grantees that provide subgrants to others to operate local programs? A: The determining factor for who receives LSA funds should not be whether the grantee has received funding in the past. Instead, LSA's grantrnaking strategy should be to award high quality applicants who have the abilitv to build systems that support service-learning's adoption and institutionalization in schools, districts and CBOs. This stronger infrastructure, with the resources behind it, will ensure that more students have the opportunity to learn and serve and empower students to be civic leaders. The Corporation should not establish competitive preferences and should not create federal rules to limit the number of years for which a grantee or subgrantee may receive LSA grants. We have learned over the last 20 years that it takes a considerable amount of time and energy to fully integrate servicelearning into a school system or community-based organization. A policy that gives preference to new LSA applicants could discourage or be a disincentive to fully incorporating service-learning into the curriculum or an institutional system. The Corporation ' s grantmaking process must account for this reality and should offer incentives to educational and community institutions - whether first-time applicants or previous grant recipients- that commit to using LSA funds to catalyze systemic implementation, favorable policies and delivery systems necessary to bring service-learning to scale on a campus, within a school district or community-based organization. The Corporation should implement rules that help create a well-rounded portfolio of grantees and subgrantees that reflect the different stages of the process toward full institutionalization of servicelearning. The competitive process should reward applicants at the national and state levels that demonstrate a plan or progress toward providing a continuum of activities and assistance to support 2 �Version 11-17-04 schools and CBOs at all levels of implementing and institutionalizing service-learning. This includes start-up ventures, more experienced initiatives still in need of additional support to improve and expand their work, as well as expert, established programs on the verge of sustaining LSA' s previous investments within local institutions. Sustainability and Institutionalization Q: How can the Corporation ensure that appropriate steps are being taken to build service-learning into the fabric of the educational or community organization? How can we ensure that Learn and Serve America grantee and subgrantee programs can continue to be successful without federal support? What are appropriate components ofgralltee "sustainability plans?" How should these questions apply to grantees that operate local programs directly; to grantees that provide subgrants to others to operate local programs? We share the Corporation ' s commitment to making sure programs can continue beyond a grant from LSA. The Corporation, however, must be careful not to define sustainability solely on a program's ability to financially sustain its work, and must guard against placing arbitrary time limits on grantees. Sustaining service-learning must be about more than just the money. Building on the experience of several states and local programs, the Corporation should encourage, not require, grantees to invest in systems/systemic programs - whole schools or school districts- in order to increase the likelihood of sustaining service-learning beyond support from LSA. Rather than just focusing on a grantee or subgrantee ' s ability to finance a program, the Corporation should encourage its grantees and subgrantees to develop sustainability plans that address areas we know to be critical to long-term implementation and institutionalization, such as : • • • • • • organizational vision and leadership curriculum/assessment professional development school-community collaborations, including partnerships with community leaders, organizations and businesses continuous improvement long-term financial stability, including diversified funding sources Research describes the elements listed above as crucial for weaving service-learning into the fabric of an educational or community organization (Learning That Lasts: How Service-Learning Can Become an Integral Part of Schools, States and Communities; Education Commission of the States, 2000). These are essential for taking service-learning to scale and institutionalizing service-learning on a campus or within a school district or community-based organization. When these elements are in place, benefits are increased for both students and communities. The Corporation must call on grantees and subgrantees to show evidence of how they are addressing or plan to use LSA funds to address these elements as part of their sustainability plans included in their grant applications and/or reporting requirements. 3 �Version 11-17-04 Focusing on Community Needs Q: How can the Corporation ensure that Federal funds are used most effectively to meet community needs and that all Learn and Serve America participants make a positive impact on community problems and needs? The Corporation should work with grantees and subgrantees to develop simple, realistic outcome-based performance measures to assess service-learning ' s impact on the specific needs of the community being served. The Corporation should also provide additional training and technical assistance to ensure that grantees and sub grantees understand the purpose of and can fully implement the outcome-based assessment tools they are asked to complete. Grantees and subgrantees also play a role in ensuring that federal funds are effectively used to meet community needs . The quality of community partnerships has improved significantly over the last decade but varies widely. To build on this momentum, the Corporation should invest in training and technical assistance to ensure that all service-learning practitioners have access to the most current and innovative service-learning strategies, especially for those first entering the field. This will increase the likelihood of practitioners' ability to design programs that will effectively address authentic community needs. Young people must play an important role in identifying and ensuring that service-learning activities address important community needs and problems. The Corporation should encourage applicants to provide for youth leadership and development components in their approach to servicelearning so that schools and communities can gain from having youth engaged in more meaningful decision-making. To inform its work in this area, the Corporation should also review how other federal agencies are measuring impact in the community and to work see if those efforts can be applied to LSA and what technical assistance or federal support is needed to assist in these efforts. Duration and Intensity of Service Q: What policies should be adopted concerning the intensity (i.e. service hours per time period) and duration of community service expected of Learn and Serve America participants? Currently, service hours are being defined in multiple ways and do not always reflect the educational component of service-learning. There is a need to clarify the definition . The definition of"service hour" should include all time spent by a young person in the service-learning process: planning; researching the context, root causes and policy implications of community issues and problems; identifying and connecting with expert community partners; addressing problems through service and community engagement; and reflecting on the service-learning experience. Each component is critical to the service-learning experience; therefore, young people should be recognized for their participation through the entire process. Selection Criteria Q: What criteria should the Corporation use in selecting grantees in its competitive Learn and Serve America programs? Should Learn and Serve America have two sets ofgrant application and selection criteria: one for consortia and grant intermediaries (State Education Agencies, Grant Making Entities, and Higher Education Consortia), and one for local programs? If so, what should such separate criteria include? 4 �Version 11-17-04 The Corporation's selection criteria must reflect an applicant's ability and commitment to sustaining the implementation of service-learning. The criteria must also reflect what it takes to institutionalize service-learning within the unique sectors of K-12 schools, tribes, colleges and universities, and community-based organizations. Sustainability/Institutionalization - Will service-learning be better integrated into the educational institution as a result of the grant? What provisions and institutional commitments have been made to ensure that service-learning will continue as a result of this grant? What short or long-term partnerships have been made with community organizations or local businesses to sustain service-learning efforts? Student Learning - For school-based programs, to what extent and in what ways are connections made between local and/or state academic standards and service-learning objectives? For college programs, is there attention to the civic learning outcomes of service-learning? For community-based programs, to what extent and in what ways is service accompanied by opportunities to learn that are strongly related to that service and tied to youth development goals such as those used by the Search Institute? Subgrants Q: What policies should govern sub-granting? Should there be limits on duration or on type of subgrant? How many levels ofsubgranting should be allowed? We do not support the creation of federal rules to limit the duration or define the type of subgrants made at the state and local levels . Establishing time limits or overemphasizing a grantee's ability to provide matching funds runs the risk of biasing against certain types of programs and communities, particularly those in rural settings and low-income states and regions . Institutional change takes time. The Corporation ' s policies should reflect what research, such as that completed by Learning In Deed, shows about the scope and sequence of integrating and sustaining high-quality service-learning, which can vary widely, especially amongst educational systems (Education Commission of the States, 2000). These rules must be sensitive to the way an educational system works. The duration of a grantee's participation in the program should be determined through the competitive funding process, not arbitrary time limits. One of the fundamental characteristics of the Corporation and its programs is that it catalyzes "bottomup" strategies designed by local practitioners to best meet the unique needs of their own communities. While we believe that states and local programs must consider how their sub-granting policies support an overarching plan and commitment to sustaining and institutionalizing service-learning, the Corporation should not prescribe Federal rules that govern the duration, types or level of subgrants made by state or local programs. This limits innovation and restricts local control and flexibility -the hallmarks of many successful LSA programs. Teacher Education Grants Q: Should we require that Learn and Serve America grantee teacher education programs prepare prospective teachers to use service-leaming in their classroom/teaching practices? Yes, LSA grantee teacher education programs should be required to prepare prospective teachers to use service-learning in their classroom and teaching practices. Equipping new teachers with the ability and commitment to use service-learning as an instructional strategy is key to improving, expanding and sustaining service-learning in schools and communities. We believe that the Corporation should 5 �Version 11-17-04 encourage teacher education grantees to focus both on faculty integrating service-learning in their courses and ensuring students understand and can apply the principles of service-learning when they begin their teaching careers. Schools of education and departments that receive LSA teacher education grants should be strongly encouraged to establish or align service-learning with their policies of roles and rewards for faculty. This will help service-learning strengthen its foothold within the culture of colleges and universities . LSA funds would be best spent on partnership development through joint training constructed around teacher education models that jointly train K-12 teachers and pre-service teachers . According to a 2003 national study completed by the International Center for Service-Learning in Teacher Education, 195 Schools, Colleges, and Departments of Education report that they prepare their graduates to use servicelearning as a pedagogy. (Anderson, J.B . & Erickson, J.A. (2003). "Service-learning in preservice teacher education." Academic Exchange Quarterly, 7 (1 ), 111-115). However, the focus needs to be on those programs that are successful in providing a practicum in which prospective teachers actually implement service-learning, and/or teach the pedagogy with sufficient depth . Several of the exemplary pre-service programs instructing pre-service teachers how to implement service-learning in the classroom include Seattle University, Chico State, and New England College. Having a structure for pre-service teachers to learn and experiment with this pedagogy along with more experienced teachers (also new to service-learning) is a good idea and one that encourages systemic reform in teaching practice. To have this happen in an authentic way, institutions of higher education need to have long and dedicated partnerships with local K-12 school districts that are similarly dedicated to employing service-learning as a key educational strategy. It is essential that the Corporation funds what works. It is also essential to recognize that institutionalization requires sustained investments. Community Organization Partnerships Q: What steps should the Corporation take to strengthen the role of community organizations as partners in Learn and Serve America projects? What steps should we take to promote greater participation offaith-based and small community organizations? A: Current restrictions on funds that can be spent on training and technical assistance in both the formula and competitive grants limit community organization participation in service-learning. Community based organizations can play a vital role in assisting educators as they attempt to integrate service-learning into their classrooms. The current grant structure severely limits that role by limiting the amount that can be designated for training and technical assistance. We support the Corporation ' s existing practice for applications to be jointly submitted by a LEA and at least one community-based organization. However, the Corporation should modify the restriction that LSA school-based grants can only be awarded to LEAs . In some cases, funds may be better placed with the community-based partner. School-community partnerships that apply for LSA funding need the flexibility to decide if the community-based partner is the more appropriate fiscal agent, assuming the selected partner has the organizational and fiscal capacity to manage grant funds according to federal and state guidelines. Project Expenditures Q: Should Learn and Serve America grantees be required to include evaluation funding in their project budgets, along with stipulation of the scope and method of evaluations? 6 �Version 11-17-04 We value the importance of evaluation, but gi ven the limited amount of money of most LSA grants and subgrantees, LSA should not require grantees or subgrantees to include evaluation funding in their project budgets. Programs, however, that conduct state or local evaluations should ensure that those evaluations meet minimal standards to ensure that proper methods are employed in collecting and analyzing the data. Dictating the scope of the evaluation has the potential to lead all programs to "teach to the test." Service-learning is best used as a methodology that includes incorporating youth voice, a focus on community problems, and activity outside of the classroom. While those common elements exist, they play out differently in each program. Attempting to define a scope for an evaluation that presupposes that participants will have a specific experience or learn specific ideas would be tantamount to requiring that all service-learning programs address problems in the same way. The hallmark of service-learning is that it adapts to the situation at hand - requiring a specific scope of interaction would limit that flexibility. Quality evaluation provides critical information on program outcomes to providers, community stakeholders, Members of Congress and others. Unfortunately, rigorous evaluations are costly and beyond the scope of funding provided to LSA grantees. We recommend that the Corporation consider adopting an approach that is similar the evaluation approach of the Department of Health and Human Service's Family and Youth Services Bureau (FYSB) . FYSB is launching a national scientific evaluation of the Mentoring Children of Prisoners program that will demonstrate science-based outcomes and delineate best practices. However, FYSB is not allowing its individual grantees to expend grant funds on evaluation because the sample sizes of evaluations on individual grantees would not produce generalizable data. Therefore, grantees should be held accountable for process data. Once research-based best practices are delineated, holding grantees accountable for complying with best practices is the most cost effective way to ensure quality programming is being delivered. The Corporation should be flexible in working with organizations that already have outcome measurement systems in place. This will ensure that organizations are not forced to use multiple, duplicative outcome measurement systems. Q: Should we require that web conferencing capabilities be included in the grant budget? No. The Corporation should not require that web conferencing capabilities be included in the grant budget. The vast majority of research surrounding teacher professional development indicates that personal interaction is an essential characteristic of effective programs. Research shows that teachers tend to adopt service-learning when introduced to it by colleagues or through professional development, and service-learning was sustained for longer periods of time when there was a critical mass of support from peers and administrators within the school (Billig, 2004; 2002; Billig & Klute, 2002; Meyer, Billig, & Hofschire, 2004; Billig & Welch (2004) Billig, Root, & Jesse, 2004; and Mintz & Abramowitz, 2004). LSA would be better served by requiring a minimum number of hours of contact between educators who are participating in the program and certified teacher educators or program staff Performance Measures and Evaluation Q: How can the Corporation and its Learn and Serve America grantees ensure that all Learn and Serve America programs are setting and achieving appropriate, measurable performance outcome goals? Should we require that Learn and Serve America grantees establish and meet a common set 7 �Version 11-17-04 of outcome measures? How can the Corporation ensure that its grantees regularly and effectively evaluate their service-learning programs? It is important that programs have outcome measures that reflect community needs. The Corporation is encouraged to learn from these programs, rather than dictate a common set of outcome measures. Instead, the Corporation should provide a menu of possible performance measures that reflect both participation and impact data as well as the ech.Jcational learning aspects of service-learning. The Corporation must not confuse consistent, high-quality standards for evaluation with uniformity. States and local programs should be able to select from a robust menu of options that support and feed into a broader evaluation agenda. These performance measures should not be an end unto themselves, but should be used to inform continuous program improvement (e.g., actively using the data to inform and improve practice and to replicate effective strategies and models) in addition to the providing statistical reports policymakers and administrators need. There is value in having national evaluation data that can be generalized across programs from around the country. However, states and local programs must be given the opportunity to create and hold themselves accountable to performance measures that reflect their local needs and priorities. Again, the Corporation must not require states and local programs to conduct formal evaluations if it cannot provide additional funding or tools to support these activities. Additionally, the Corporation Unified State Plans Q: What role, if any, should Leam and Serve America grantees and subgrantees play within the Corporation's Unified State Plans? How should Learn and Serve America grantees and subgrantees be encouraged to participate in Unified State Plans and state-wide service conferences? The Corporation should be a leader in assisting State Commissions with communicating what LSA and service-learning are all about, and to look for ways to involve LSA grantees into the Unified State Plans. The State Commissions should be assisted in their efforts to include the LSA grantees and subgrantees within the Unified State Plans and encourage their participation in state-wide service conferences. If the Corporation moves toward fewer, but larger grants to affect systemic change across states, it will also be easier to engage LSA participants, and should reduce the number of subgrantees. The Corporation should support State Commissions in their continuing efforts to recognize all streams of service under the Corporation as resources within their state. Indeed, the Commission is in a unique position to help LSA K-12 and Higher Ed participants to partner with community-based organizations who are active in service and service-learning in the state, and the Corporation should encourage them in this role. 8 � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
