�SAVEAMERICORPS.org
The Save AmeriCorps Coalition
Mission Statement
SaveAmeriCorps.org seeks to be the definitive source on the web for information on how to
support and ensure the growth of AmeriCorps and national service. The website seeks to bring
together supporters of AmeriCorps, as well as attract new champions, by sharing accurate and
up-to-date information, facilitating conversation and cooperation, and making national service a
frequently discussed issue around the county.
History of Save AmeriCorps
In 1993, AmeriCorps was created as the federal vehicle for building and delivering national
service opportunities in the United States. In just ten years, the program has become a vital
service resource, and a training ground for our future civic leaders, by engaging more than
300,000 idealistic, patriotic young people in a year of fulltime service. Moreover, AmeriCorps has
become a model of a public-private partnership that works and a true example of a government
program that operates through devolution principles: AmeriCorps distributes and monitors grants
through direct grantmaking and state commissions to more than 900 local and national nonprofits and agencies.
On June 16, 2003, the Corporation for Community and National Service (CNCS), AmeriCorp's
parent organization, sent a shock through the service field and its many partners with the release
of their first round of grant announcements. The announcements signaled devastating cuts to the
field. As apprehensive programs waited for CNCS to reveal how an 80% cut in member slots
would impact their individual organizations, a group of national and community organizations
found their voice and discovered the most important fact of all: America needs AmeriCorps. This
group, appropriately named the "Save AmeriCorps Coalition," continues to work tirelessly to
preserve national service as we know it.

Washington, D.C.
As the White House and Congress begin to determine their fiscal year 2006 funding priorities, it is
critically important that we thank our elected leaders for their past support and urge their
continued commitment to national service. Please join us for a one-day event, Voices for
AmeriCorps: AmeriCorps Strengthening America on February 8, 2005. In commemoration of
AmeriCorps' 1Oth anniversary we will bring to Capitol Hill 10 hours of testimony highlighting the
program's effectiveness in addressing critical domestic needs. Each hour will have a theme, and
our speakers will focus on how AmeriCorps is successful strategy for:

�Legislative Update
Legislative Update, September 24, 2004
On September 21 , the Senate Appropriations Committee passed an FY05 VA-HUD
Appropriations bill that includes $590 million for the Corporation for the National and Community
Service and its programs and activities, an increase of $9 million over the fiscal year 2004
enacted level and $18 million above the House's FY05 bill.
This appropriation provides $292 million for AmeriCorps State and National operating grants;
$150 million for the National Service Trust; $43 million for Learn and Serve; and $26 million for
NCCC. The Senate bill will support 75,000 new full-time equivalent members for the AmeriCorps
program. The House only provided sufficient funding to support 70,000 members.
The Committee commended the Corporation's efforts to run an expedited rulemaking process
that will address some of their long-standing concerns with the AmeriCorps program. The Senate
Appropriators urged the Corporation to develop a definition for assessing a program's
sustainability that is sensible and flexible. According to the Committee report, "[T]he Committee
rejects a ·one-size-fits-all' approach and believes that in addressing this issue, the Corporation
should use a performance-based method so that well-performing organizations are not unduly
punished."
Subcommittee Chairman Christopher Bond (R-MO) indicated at the Sept 21 hearing that he does
not expect the VA-HUD bill to reach the Senate floor for consideration before the November
elections. Congress is expected to return for a lame duck session, and will resume consideration
of the funding bills.

The MCSC conducted a staff review of all applications. Applicants were provided written
feedback that included any necessary revisions. All revisions are due to MCSC by February 9,
2005. The staff will review all of the revisions to ensure all issues are addressed. Assuming all
identified issues are addressed, the staff makes the following recommendations.

Michigan's Volunteer Investment Grant
Background
MCSC staff members met with the leadership ofthe Volunteer Centers of Michigan (VCM)
twice in January to discuss the 2005 Michigan's Volunteer Investment Grant. The purpose of
our discussions was to determine how to use the remaining $200,000 Volunteer Investment
Grant funds in a manner that would further increase the capacity and sustainability of centers
across the state. Collectively we felt that it was important to do something that would
demonstrate the importance and value of the volunteer centers. Based on our discussions, we
decided that it would be more effective to use these funds on state-wide efforts rather than
through the smaller grants we have offered previously. We invited VCM to submit a concept
paper on behalfofthe centers. We received the concept paper on February 2, 2005 . Staff is
currently reviewing the paper and will be providing feedback to VCM.
Volunteer Centers of Michigan proposed that the Michigan's Volunteer Investment Grant be
used in 2005 as a demonstration grant, through which VCM will:
1. Enlarge the capacity of Volunteer Centers to meet the core competencies and Standards
of Excellence mandated by the Volunteer Center National Network;
2. Inaugurate a research project to determine
a. A profile of the 30 VCM member Volunteer Centers in Michigan,
b. Common outputs and outcomes,
�c. Challenges faced in meeting community needs and funding programs,
d. The social capital of the programs and services performed by Volunteer Centers
for the nonprofit and public sectors, further translated into monetary terms;
3. Improve the outreach and recruitment efforts ofVolunteer Centers by enhancing their
accessibility through increased technological capacity;
4. Strengthen the knowledge base within Volunteer Centers in areas that will elevate
sustainability, including
a. Benchmarks, outcomes and accountability
b. Resource development
5. Further build the statewide network by identifying and constructing an electronic system
of aggregating data and utilizing this information to promote a strong case statement.
6. Fortify the nonprofit sector by assisting Volunteer Centers to offer volunteer management
training and support, and to involve community nonprofits and public programs in other
training activities that will increase recruitment, retention and recognition of their
volunteers.
The staff will review all ofthe r.evisions to ensure all issues are addressed. Assuming all
identified issues are addressed and the availability of the funds, the staff makes the following
recommendations:
Staff Recommendation
The MCSC staff recommends funding in the amount of$200,000 to the Volunteer Centers of
Michigan.

FROM:

DATE:
February 4, 2005
RE:
Updates on Progress and Challenges (UPC)
-
Guided by marketing plans approved at the December MCSC meeting, Commissioners and staff
began the New Year, and National Mentoring Month, eager to reach new goals. Vision and
champions led us to the success we have experienced thus far in 2005. We are happy to report
on the success and the challenges.
One could be daunted at both the National and State levels by reports of budget cuts and budget
neutral funding. What we lacked in dollars, however, we found in energy and in partnerships
with media and local corporations.
Mentor Michigan
The Governor, First-Gentleman and Former Mayor Dennis W. Archer began the media campaign
for National Mentor Month in December by filming tags to be added to the National Mentoring
Partnership Public Service Announcements (PSA). 20 television outlets representing 22 stations
and 29 radio outlets representing 61 stations requested the PSA ' s. Based on general comparison,
there was broader distribution to the media outlets in 2005 .
The First Gentleman dedicated his January calendar to promote mentoring at public appearances,
radio and TV interviews, editorial boards and photo opportunities. The grid below indicates the
locations ofhis appearances. At each location the First Gentleman:
• spoke about the success of Mentor Michigan
• asked people to become mentors
�•
•
talked about the gap between the number of children who desire a mentor and the number
ofmentees
referred to data gathered in the recent Mentor Michigan Census, materials gathered from
the 208 mentoring agencies registered with Mentor Michigan.
The First Gentleman's public conversations on mentoring, the work ofMSCS Commissioners, a
proclamation from the governor, coverage ofNational Mentor Month by media outlets
throughout the state, the work of our newly formed statewide Mentoring Collaboratives, and a
request by the governor to all state employees that they consider becoming mentors greatly
increased the number of hits to the Mentor Michigan web-site. We will watch the next wave of
the Mentor Michigan Census for proof positive that there was a correlation between the activity
ofNational Mentor Month and the increased number of interested mentees, and mentor matches.

Also in January, Peter Mitchell, President of Albion College and Chair of the Michigan Campus
Compact (MCC) responded that the MCC would accept the challenge to recruit 1,500 mentors
from higher education institutions over the next three years. To assist this effort the Governor
and First Gentleman will speak at MCC designated college campuses to students and faculty on
mentoring. Recently, MCC gave a mini-grant of $2,500 to Alma College designated forementoring between faculty and local middle school students.
Further enhancing the success of National Mentor Month the United Way Women's Initiative
was launched in Detroit, Grand Rapids, Midland, Kalamazoo, Battle Creek and Lansing on
February 11, 2005. This program will engage 6,000 women and girls in volunteer activities
through a mentoring relationship.
Other accomplishments this month, include the convening of the Mentor Michigan Providers
Council. The group, made up of 21 representatives from around the state, advises us on
mentoring issues. They are currently working on developing standards of excellence for
Michigan's mentoring programs, evaluation tools, and collaboration activities. The council is
chaired by Dr. Carole Touchinski, Director ofResearch for the Great Lakes Center for Youth
Development.
Finally, Siemens Corporation this week awarded Mentor Michigan with a $7,500 contribution.
We will invite Commissioners to a March or April check presentation event with an executive
from Siemens and the First Gentleman. Siemens is an international electronics company with
430,000 employees in 192 countries. With 70,000 employees and $16.6 billion in U.S. sales,
Siemens is improving America's infrastructure through technology and innovation in Medical,
Power, Automation and Control, Transportation, Information and Communications, Lighting,
Building Technologies, Water Technologies and Services and Home Appliances.
Michigan's AmeriCorps
The ArneriCorps staffhas been busy developing and implementing the application process. This
year the process will include renewal funding for the existing competitive, formula and education
award only grants (all 19 ofthe existing programs are eligible for renewal funding), and new
funding for the statewide mentoring program through the ConnectMichigan Alliance (CMA). In
addition to the CMA application, we will receive an application for a statewide homeland
security program from American Red Cross. The Red Cross applied for funding last year and
was approved . After completing the three-month planning phase they realized they were not
ready to operate a statewide program and asked to delay their grant for one year. We agreed that
3
�we would let them reapply this year assuming many of the challenges and infrastructure issues
had been addressed. We expect to receive the CMA and Red Cross applications on March 21 st
and will present our funding recommendations at the May MCSC meeting.
The staff recently reviewed the seven competitive renewal applications and will present their
funding recommendations at the February MCSC meeting. Please see the attached memo for the
specific funding recommendations. They review the education award only proposal in February
and will present the funding recommendations to the executive committee on February 241h. The
formula renewal applications will be reviewed in April and funding recommendations will be
presented in May.
In addition to the application process, the staff conducted a retreat with the AmeriCorps member
council on January 26-28, 2005 in Roscommon, Michigan. The Member Council consists of one
representative from each Michigan's AmeriCorps program, as well as one VISTA. The retreat is
an opportunity for Council members to meet in their committees setting goals for the year and
outlining next steps. Council members are divided into one of three committees: Outreach
Committee, Service Project Committee, or Diversity Committee.
The committee time was extremely productive and this year's Council committees are
spearheading several projects. Examples of these projects include: a newsletter to be published
this month highlighting Michigan's AmeriCorps programs, the M.A.R.S. (Michigan's
AmeriCorps Resources for Service Projects) website, and a diversity training curriculum that
will allow Member Council Representatives to facilitate a training for their fellow Corps
members.
This year's Council is an exceptional group of individuals and the Corps members accomplished
a great deal at the retreat. Members rated the overall quality of the Member Council Retreat a
4.91 on a scale of 1-5 (1 being poor and 5 being excellent).
Learn and Serve Michigan/Service Learning Institute
Michigan Campus Compact and the Michigan Community Service Commission will hold the 9th
Annual Institute on Service-Learning "Deepening the Commitment to Student Engagement
through Quality Teaching" February 17-18, 2005 on the campus of Adrian College. Cosponsored by Albion College, Andrews University, Eastern Michigan University, Lenawee
Intermediate School District, Olivet College, and State Farm Insurance, the institute will draw
more than 300 faculty and staff from both higher education and K -12 schools around the state.
Confirmed keynote speakers include Sally Berman, author of Service Learning for the Multiple
Intelligences Classroom and Alex Kotlowitz, author ofThe Other Side of the River: A Story of
Two Towns and There Are No Children Here: The Story of Two Boys Growing Up in the Other
America. A student track will again be offered for students from 9th grade through college. The
institute planning committee selected nine dynamic pre-conference sessions planned for
February 17. More than 30 concurrent and roundtable sessions are planned February 18. A
special reception sponsored by the Lenawee Community Foundation will be held Thursday
evening, February 17 to highlight this year' s Service-Learning award winners.

Commissioners are invited to attend.
Governor's Service Awards
The Governor's Service Awards will be heldjointlywith the Carter Partnership Awards on
Saturday, June 18, 2005 at the Hyatt Regency in Dearborn. The event will begin at 5:30p.m.
with a private reception hosted by Governor Granholm, First Gentleman Mulhern, and Former
First Lady Rosalynn Carter. Award winners will be announced at a celebratory dinner, which is
open to the general public. The dinner begins at 7:00p.m.
The Governor's Service Awards (GSA) Nomination Form was distributed in early January to
nonprofit organizations, businesses and corporations, education institutions, past GSA nominees
and nominators, faith-based organizations, and more. An electronic nomination form is available
on the MCSC web site www.michigan.gov/mcsc. Nominations must be postmarked by Friday,
March 18, 2005.
Five finalists in each category, including the winner, will be selected through an objective review
process, which includes the traditional peer review and an MCSC staff review. The
Commissioners on the GSA Committee will approve all finalists and awardees.
See the Fund Raising Committee Report for an update on the GSA fundraising activities to date.
Volunteer Investment Grants
Following a challenge by the Michigan Community Service Commission to reach the following
goals:
• Convene Volunteer Centers ofMichigan leadership to define gaps in recruiting and
placing volunteers
• Identify top 2 or 3 capacity issues with measurable objectives
• Design a competitive bid process around those issues
MCSC staff members met with leadership from the Volunteer Centers ofMichigan (VCM) twice
to discuss the 2005 Volunteer Investment Grant. Based on the discussion, we decided it would
be more effective to sub-grant the $200,000 to VCM rather than to a number of individual
volunteer centers. This would ensure that all volunteer centers capacity would be impacted.
VCM submitted a concept paper on Wednesday, February 2. Staff is currently reviewing the
paper and will provide feedback to VCM. MCSC commissioners will approve the final grant.
Please see the attached memo for the specific staff recommendation.

WASHINGTON
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Erik Hotmire
February 7, 2005

PRESIDENT BUSH TO RECOGNIZE MICHIGAN MAN
FOR DEDICATION TO VOLUNTEER SERVICE
President George W. Bush will present the President's Volunteer Service Award to Jim Comer
when he arrives in Detroit, Michigan, on Tuesday, February 8, 2005. Comer, 57, has been an
active volunteer mentor with VIP Mentoring for the past three years.
President Bush has called on all Americans to volunteer two years or 4,000 hours over the
course of their lifetimes, and he created USA Freedom Corps to help foster a culture of service,
citizenship, and responsibility. Since March 2002, President Bush has met with more than 400
individuals around the country, like Comer, who are answering the call to volunteer service.
VIP Mentoring matches children who have an incarcerated parent, with adult mentors. Comer is
currently a mentor to two boys, ages 13 and 16. Comer helped establish a summer employment
program for VIP Mentoring at Lear Corporation, called the Lear Automotive Youth Academy.
Through this program youth, ages 14 and up, are given courses in proper business attire,
etiquette, computer skills, and finance management. The young people are also introduced to
volunteer service and spend time working at local community events. In addition to being a
mentor, Comer is also the volunteer VIP Mentoring board chairman. Comer was a 2004 finalist
for the Detroit Lions' William Clay Ford Community Quarterback Award which recognizes
outstanding local volunteers.
The President's Volunteer Service Award, an initiative of the President's Council on Service and
Civic Participation, is available to Americans of all ages who have demonstrated their dedication
to volunteer service. More information about the award is available at
<http://www. presidentialserviceawards. gov/>
www.presidentialserviceawards.gov.
Through USA Freedom Corps, President Bush wants to help every American answer the Call to
Service by strengthening and expanding service opportunities. Interested volunteers can find
available service opportunities in their communities at www.usafreedomcorps.gov or by calling
�1-877-USA-CORPS . For information designed to show elementary and middle school students
how they can start making a difference by volunteering, visit
<http:!/www.usafreedomcorpskids.gov/> www. usafreedomcorpskids. gov.
At the direction of President George W. Bush, USA Freedom Corps is also working with former
President George Bush and former President Bill Clinton as they lead a nationwide charitable
fundraising effort to encourage private donations to the tsunami relief effort. Americans are
asked to donate money to the organizations listed at <http://www.usafreedomcorps.gov/>

Committee
FROM:
Janet Lawson, Executive Director
DATE:
May 1, 2005
RE:
Summary of April 22, 2005 Meeting
The following is a summary of the meeting of the Michigan Community Service Commission
Executive Committee held via conference call on Friday, April 22, 2005
The meeting was called to order at 10:03 a.m. Members present: Daniel Mulhern, Chair; Rob
Collier, Vivian Pickard and Meg Smith. Staff present: Janet Lawson, Janice Harvey, and
Joan Bowman.
Board Member Development
The Executive Committee had a discussion on Board Member Development and the
Commissioners that are term limited this year. With Pat O'Day being term limited, we will
need to look for someone from the Upper Peninsula. We will lose the corporate and
fundraising background from Vivian Pickard. We will also need to look at the seniors
network to replace Meg Smith. We also need to look at the geographic make-up of the
Commission and where there may be a need (Traverse City, Midland/Bay City, Grand
Rapids) . The Mentor Michigan Leadership Council would also have some good candidates
for Commissioners. Two areas that are critical to focus on are marketing and public relations
and someone with fundraising skills.
Mentor Michigan Momentum
Janet Lawson explained that the Commission needs to develop a plan for building momentum
for Mentor Michigan in the corporate and government agencies. These areas will be
addressed at the May MCSC Board Meeting. Chairman Mulhern is meeting Standard
Federal Bank and Michigan Trial Lawyers Association to discuss mentoring opportunities.
�MCSC Progress Toward 2005 Goals
Janet Lawson asked whether Commissioners would like to have a report on where the MCSC
is in regards to the goals that were established at the retreat (Public Relations, Ftmding, and
Strategic Partnerships). The Executive Committee agreed that this should be part of the May
MCSC Board Meeting agenda.
The meeting was adjourned at 10:46 a.m.

GOVERNOR'S HUSBAND JOINS AMERICORPS AT HABITAT BUILD
Port Huron, Michigan - Today more than 160 Michigan's AmeriCorps members came from across the
state for the annual Russ Mawby Signature Service Project. AmeriCorps members swung hammers, pounded
nails, and laid cement to help support the Blue Water Habitat For Humanity' s Jimmy Carter Work Project.
"AmeriCorps members are committed individuals who give of themselves throughout the year to make
our communities safer and stronger for children and families," said First Gentleman Daniel Mulhern, Chair of the
Michigan Community Service Commission (MCSC). "Today the AmeriCorps members visibly demonstrated the
power of volunteer service."
The Signature Service Project is an annual event hosted by the Michigan Community Service
Commission, a state agency that helps strengthen communities through volunteer activities. Project partners are
Habitat for Humanity of Michigan and the Blue Water Habitat for Humanity. This year's event is part of the
Jimmy Carter Work Project 2005 . Former President Jimmy Carter will join an estimated 6,000 volunteers to
build more than 200 homes throughout Michigan with families in need. Ten of those homes will be built in the
Port Huron community. President Carter will be in Detroit and Benton Harbor June 19-24, 2005.
"Today' s project made a huge difference in our community," said Jim Faulkner, Executive Director of the
Blue Water Habitat for Humanity. "We're amazed at the commitment of these volunteers and are thrilled that
they are helping us make the Jimmy Carter Work Project a reality in Port Huron."
Also on hand to serve with and thank the AmeriCorps members were State Representative John Espinoza
(D- District #83) and State Representative LaMar Lemmons, III (D - District 3).
BACKGROUND:
Michigan' s AmeriCorps is similar to a domestic Peace Corps. Programs are housed within nonprofit
organizations, schools, and other agencies throughout the state. Individuals, called members, serve in these
organizations to meet community needs around education, public safety, the environment, and other human needs.
In an average year, AmeriCorps members help improve the lives of more than 115,000 people and recruit
approximately 18,000 volunteers.

L'Anse Creuse Public Schools Community Service-Learning Program
L'Anse Creuse Public Schools is a district of approximately 12,000 students in a
suburban area approximately 25 miles northeast ofDetroit, Michigan. The district covers
four townships surrounding the city of Mt. Clemens. We are near the shores of Lake St.
Clair and Selfridge Air National Guard Base is in our community. We have ten
elementary schools, four middle schools, two high schools, a vocational technical high
school, an alternative high school and we provide the educational programs at the
Macomb County Youth Home and the Macomb County Jail. L'Anse Creuse High
Schools are home to approximately 1,800 students each, ninth through twelfth grades.
In 1992 the L'Anse Creuse Board of Education adopted 40 hours of Community Service
as a graduation requirement for all students. They believed the extended classroom of
service to others allows students to apply what they have learned, to increase awareness
of career opportunities and to realize themselves as contributors to society. The District
funded a Community Service Coordinator to work at each of the two high schools. In
1994, our community service coordinator began to explore the service-learning concept,
which directly ties community service with the curriculum. We applied for and received
a Learn and SERVE grant to plan for service-learning in L'Anse Creuse. In 1996, the
procedure for curriculum infusion of service-learning was developed and reviewed by
administrators, the superintendent and his cabinet. The Board of Education passed a
motion to embrace and support the service-learning concept and change the program
name to Community Service-Learning. Continued support from Learn and SERVE
grants and the Michigan Community Service Commission have helped to support the
growth of service-learning at L'Anse Creuse High Schools.
Obtaining teacher involvement in service-learning has been our greatest challenge. We
have used workshops and presentations by our coordinator, guest speakers, fellow
teachers who have used service-learning and students who have learned from service
learning to achieve staff buy-in. In 2000, the Director of Secondary Education informed
our Principal that a 11 departments in the high school were expected to 1ead a servicelearning experience in their respective department. The Principal passed that expectation
on to the Department Heads and at the end of the 2002 school year, every core and noncore curricular area had a service learning activity or project involving nearly 50% of the
teachers. The records of the 2004 graduating seniors indicated that 75% of the graduates
had been involved in at least one service-learning activity. A good example of an ongoing service-learning project is the enviromnental science students studying water
quality and using hands-on methods to collect and test water samples from the Clinton
River each fall and spring. Michigan Curriculum Framework Science V, Content 2 says
"describe how human activities affect the quality of water in the hydrosphere". The
project becomes service-leaming when the students report their findings to the Clinton
River Watershed Council and the Department of Environmental Quality and possibly
effect the quality oft he waters that run through their community, into their 1akes and
finally out of the water taps in their homes. The students share their findings at a summit
with students from 20 other districts who have tested other areas of the river. This is the
sixth year the students have taken part in this project.
�At L'Anse Creuse High Schools, our community service-learning program has
strengthened the relationship between the students and the community. The community
leaders, organizations and agencies have recognized the enthusiasm, energy and physical
strength our young people can bring to their needs. Students report that they have learned
the meaning of the word "community". The students have responded to the needs in their
community and, in tum, have become aware of themselves as a possible solution, as
opposed to a contributor, to community problems and needs. Our service-learning
activities are designed to help students gain civic competencies and skills by recognizing
and involving themselves in family, global and community issues, accepting their role
and participating in the democratic process and taking and defending a position when
warranted. Students are strongly encouraged to recognize their responsibilities as
effective citizens in the communities to which they belong as exemplified by the
previously mentioned Watershed Monitoring project. Students have been promoted in
leadership roles through service-learning as they are often given the opportunity to
identify community needs. Teachers recognize that our students are out volunteering in
the community every day and have a heightened awareness of community needs.
Students are also being given the opportunity to develop a plan to address community
needs as reported by teachers who are using the service-learning methodology.
We believe that service-learning has had a tremendous impact on our students' learning,
behavior and attitudes. A Reflection Questionnaire is part of the service-learning
program and every student must complete one, providing them the opportunity to make
the learning from their experiences more explicit. A student reported, "I learned many
things through service to my community. I discovered that when you give of yourself to
others, you will always get much more in return. I also leaned that everything I have
learned in school is actually useful in the real world. T hings I considered 'pointless'
were things I applied during my service." Another student wrote "Ironically, the biggest
contribution I made was to my own character. The community service I did made me a
stronger person. While I was helping others, I was helping myself. I contributed most to
my own self worth and pride." Teachers wrote: "The students in charge were divided
into committees and each committee elected a chair. This was a student-driven activity
from beginning to end." " Students I earned to communicate with students of different
ethnicity and social backgrounds." "In order for students to understand environmental
problems and issues we currently face, they must experience them first hand" "Working
with senior citizens also enables students to improve in their personal growth, social
development, and an increased civic-mindedness, all of which are instrumental for a
successful life after graduation from high school." The impact of our program on the
community can best be explained in numbers. Since the program began in 1992, the
students o fL 'Anse C reuse HighS chools have given over 4 60,000 hours of service to
their community. The community has expressed its confidence in our students by calling
the high school on a daily basis, reporting their needs and their desire for our student to
assist them. The community has also supported our school district, as recently as May
2005 when they passed a ten-year bond issue for $210 million. When the program first
began, one o f o ur challenges w as to get the community to recognize the value o f o ur
youth and today the students of L'Anse Creuse High Schools are being recognized as
contributing members of their community.

Dear Congressman McCotter:
The Michigan Community Service Commission (MCSC) will hold their quarterly board meeting on
Friday, May 20th, from 9:00am to noon. At an earlier Commission meeting, First Gentleman Dan
Mulhern informed us that you are a member of the National Service Caucus. To that end, we are inviting
you to attend this meeting to learn more about the national service organizations in Michigan.
During the meeting, we will have a service learning presentation from L'Anse Creuse Schools. They are
one of the many grantees of the Corporation for National and Community Service Learn & Serve
program, which the MCSC oversees.
The meeting will take place at Camp Ozanam, located about 30 miles north of Port Huron. I have
attached an agenda for the meeting.
Also, attached is a copy of a letter inviting you to attend the Russ Mawby Signature Service Project,
where over 300 Michigan ' s AmeriCorps members from across the state will participate in a Habitat for
Humanity build. This is another excellent opportunity to see national service members in Michigan at
their best.
Please contact me at (51 7) 373-4998 with any additional questions and to confirm your participation at
our MCSC Board Meeting or the Russ Mawby Signature Service Project.
Sincerely,
Janet Lawson

Dear Congressman McCotter:
Imagine the impact you ' ll have working side by side with 300 Michigan ' s AmeriCorps members from
across the state at the Russ Mawby Signature Service Project. On Saturday, May 21 , 2005 , AmeriCorps
members will be working on eight houses with the Blue Water Habitat for Humanity (HFH) in Port
Huron as part of the Jimmy Carter Work Project 2005. The build is being held in the 200 block of Rural
Street and a map is enclosed for your information. AmeriCorps members from your district may be a part
of this exciting event, and we hope you will be there to support them and the Port Huron community. The
work will begin at 8:00a.m., finish at 4:00p.m., and a press conference is being held at 10:00 a.m. on the
build site.
AmeriCorps members traditionally serve in local communities mentoring and tutoring children, helping
the homeless, protecting the environment, and more. One day each year they join together for the Russ
Mawby Signature Service Project. Here, they combine their energy and commitment for a day that
visib ly demonstrates the power of volunteer service. Habitat for Humanity Michigan's AmeriCorps and
the Michigan Community Service Commission (MCSC), a state agency that strengthens and supports
communities through volunteerism, are coordinating this exciting event.
So roll up your sleeves and bring your hammer! We hope you will join us for any or all of the day 's
activities. To RSVP for the event or for additional information, please contact Mary Grill at
(517) 335-7875 or grillm@michigan.gov.
Thank you for your dedication and public service. Please join us and show your support for volunteer
service in Michigan.
Sincerely,

COMMUNITY

Michigan's
AmeriCorps
The MCSC builds a culture of service by providing vision and resources to strengthen communities through volunteerism.
Ask an AmeriCorps member to tell you the
number of children they've taught, houses
they've built, or volunteers they've recruited.
You will not only hear numbers, but you11 learn
the names of students, addresses of new
homes, and places where new volunteers have
served. This is because AmeriCorps members
work directly with the people or causes that
need their help the most.
Thousands of Americans throughout the country
are addressing communities' toughest challenges
through AmeriCorps. AmeriCorps members
serve full- or part-time with local organizations
and schools. They work to meet education,
blic safety, environmental, and human needs.
Michigan's AmeriCorps programs are housed
within nonprofit organizations, schools, or other
agencies. Each program sets its own goals to
help meet local needs. The host organizations
receive funding to recruit, place, and support
AmeriCorps members. These members serve for
at least one year to help meet the goals defined
by each program.
Start an AmeriCorps program in your
community. If your organization or a group of
organizations in your community could use at
least 10 full-time Michigan's AmeriCorps
members (or the equivalent of 10 full-time
positions), contact Kimberlee Andrews or Andrew
Younger at (517) 335-4295 or
andrewsk1@michigan.gov and
youngera1@michigan.gov for funding
information. Or visit www.americorps.org to find
out more about how AmeriCorps programs are
eting local needs.
Why do people become AmeriCorps
members? AmeriCorps members are
individuals who want to take on the challenges
their communities face. They understand that
AmeriCorps exists to "get things done," and as a
member, they are part of the solution. They are
involved in activities like:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Tutoring and mentoring youth
Running after-school programs
Teaching computer skills
Building affordable housing
Protecting the environment
Helping the homeless and victims of
domestic abuse
Recruiting volunteers
While AmeriCorps members work to
strengthen communities, they empower
themselves. Members gain professional and
personal skills that will be used for the rest of
their lives. Members receive training on things
like CPR/First Aid, public speaking, community
organizing, and conflict resolution.
What kinds of people join AmeriCorps?
AmeriCorps brings together people from every
race, region, religion, and income. AmeriCorps
members are 17 or older, U.S. citizens or legal
residents, and have a high school diploma or the
willingness to work toward one during their year
of service.

Mentor Michigan Census
Wave II: Executive Summary
The Scope and Nature of Mentoring in Michigan
Overview
•
A total of 27.090 young people were mentored through 233 distinct programs
operated by 136 various community, school, faith, government and businessbased organizations in 2004. As only 136 of the 207 (66%) identified mentoring
organizations responded to the MMC, it is reasonable to estimate that more than
30,000 Michigan youth benefited from having a mentor in 2004.
•
Nearly 16,000 (15,977) Michigan residents served as mentors in 2004.
•
Mentoring organizations are located in 41 of Michigan's 83 counties.
Type: One to one mentoring is most
common. Group (1 adult to no more than
4 youth) and Team (a group of adults with
a group of youth, no more than a 1/4 ratio)
mentoring are the next most common.
Peer mentoring is often used in schoolbased programs. E-mentoring is a
supplement, but as depicted, rarely a
primary mentoring form. This distribution
is similar to that found in Wave I, with the
only significant differences being an
increase in the number of one to one
mentoring reported and a slight decrease
in the amount of group mentoring
reported.

reporting, 106 (45%) are communitybased and 84 (36%) are school-based.
Government operated, faith-based and
business-based programs are less
common.
While there are more community-based
programs, more children are served
through school-based programs. The
average school-based program served
169 students in 2004, while the average
community-based program served about
115 children in 2004.

mentored of 3,282 . During the same time period , 29 programs report a decrease
with an aggregate decline of 1,066 youth . This yields a net increase of 2,216
more youth mentored in the last year.

Wave II: Executive Summary
•
Active Mentors: The MMC counted more active mentors in Wave II than in
Wave I. Organizations responding to Wave II of the MCC report 10,546 active
mentors as of Feb. 28 , 2005. This compares to 9,108 active mentors counted in
Wave I (as of Aug 31 , 2004) , an increase of 1,438. Most of this increase is due to
organizations reporting for the first time in Wave II, but also apparent is an
incremental increase in the number of active mentors from organizations
reporting in both Waves I and II.

Inquiries and Applications: There were a total of 9,975 inquiries and 6,248
written applications to be a mentor in 2004. The monthly averages of mentor
inquiries and applications are increasing. The first two months of 2005 witnessed
a large increase in the monthly average of both inquiries and applications. This is
likely a result of the efforts associated with National Mentoring Month in January
2005.

that there is a large increase in the
proportion of mentors age 18-25. This
age group is now the single largest
cohort providing mentoring services to
younger people. Analysis of the data
shows that part of this increase is
based on the new organizations
reporting in Wave II , but also driving
the difference is that recruitment

Wave II: Executive Summary
Barriers to Growth of Mentoring in Michigan
•
Barriers: "Too few male mentors" and "lack of staff support for recruitment" are
the two barriers cited most frequently by mentoring organizations. Additional
barriers include other factors related to potential mentor characteristics and staff
constraints.

Note: The chart above does not include these other cited barriers: Potential mentors do not attend

follow-up on all inquiries, 9%; Potential mentors won't work wlchildren on wafting list, 7%; Background
checks are cost prohibitive, 7%; Potential mentors not cooperating with background checks, 4%.
•
Organizational Needs: Similar to the data above, in order to increase the number of
children mentored, mentoring programs want support (in order of priority):
o Recruiting more male mentors.
o Accessing a centralized and affordable background check/screening process.
o Recruiting more African-American mentors.
o Recruiting more mentors willing to work with children with difficult or special
problems.
o Accessing centralized resources for mentor training .

Wave II: Executive Summary
•
Time from Inquiry to Match: Fifty percent of mentoring organizations report that,
on average, a person inquiring to become a mentor is matched with a child within 30
days. Yet, twenty percent of organizations do not track time from inquiry to match.
•
Reasons Inquires Do Not Match: Mentoring programs report that the most
common reason an inquiry does not eventually get matched with a young person is
that the potential mentor does not submit a written application. Time commitments,
of both intensity (hours per week) and duration (overall length of relationship), also
are barriers for substantial minorities of potential mentors. Less frequently cited is
the potential mentors' concerns about the special needs of the young person and
lastly, the time commitment required for mentor training.

•
Capacity: Looking in aggregate, Michigan's mentoring organizations report that they
are operating at capacity right now, assuming no change in their operating budgets.
Yet, one in four mentoring organizations respond that they "don't know" their
organizations' maximum annual mentoring capacity.
•
Liability: For the vast majority of mentoring organizations concern with liability is not
a factor in preventing more children to be served. Only 4% of organizations report
that liability is a major concern. Thirty-five percent report that liability is a "minor''
factor while 42% report, "liability is fully managed so as not be an issue."
•
Match Termination: Most mentoring organizations report that mentors rarely
terminate a match within the first three months; 65% report it occurs less than 5% of
the time. Similarly, organizations report that the child's family or guardian terminates
the match within the first three months even less frequently. Most matches seem to
"take". Yet, even small numbers of terminated matches may be problematic.

Wave II: Executive Summary
Background, Objectives and Method
The Mentor Michigan Census (MMC) is a periodic survey of organizations operating
mentoring programs in the State of Michigan. In Wave I of the MMC, conducted in the
fall of 2004, 105 organizations responded to the MMC out of a total of 156 organizations
that had registered with Mentor Michigan as of September 1, 2004. This reflects a 67%
response rate.
This report reflects the data from Wave II of the MMC, conducted in March of 2005. Out
of a total of 207 mentoring organizations identified and registered with Mentor Michigan,
136 responded (66% response rate). Of the 105 organizations that responded to Wave
I, 96 responded to Wave II. Thus, 40 organizations reported for the first time in Wave II.
The MCC data were collected via an on-line survey. There were approximately 60
questions in each Wave's survey. Approximately half of these questions are repeated
for tracking purposes and the other half specific to each Wave and focused on various
items of interest to Mentor Michigan and its key constituents.
The primary purpose of the MMC is to understand the scope and nature of mentoring
and mentoring organizations in Michigan. Specifically, there are three key objectives:
1. Identify, count, describe, and track mentoring organizations, programs,
mentors, and the children served.
2. Understand program components, processes, resources, and needs.
3. Encourage and support program evaluation.
Additionally, in this first wave of the MMC, emphasis was placed on understanding the
types of organizations that provide mentoring programs. In Wave II, emphasis was
placed on understanding barriers to serving more children with mentors, including
liability, recruitment and other challenges. Additionally, a special section addressed use
and satisfaction with the services and products produced by Mentor Michigan.
Mentor Michigan has adopted the National Mentoring Partnership's definition of
mentoring. "Mentoring is a structured and trusting relationship that brings young people
together with caring individuals who offer guidance, support, and encouragement aimed
at developing the competence and character of the mentee." Responsible mentoring
can take many forms:
• Traditional mentoring (one adult to one young person)
• Group mentoring (one adult to up to four young people)
• Team mentoring (several adults working with small groups of young
people, in which the adult to youth ratio is not greater than 1:4)
• Peer mentoring (caring youth mentoring other youth)
• E-mentoring (mentoring via e-mail and the Internet)

�Mentor Michigan Census
Wave II: Executive Summary
The MMC uses the mentoring funnel as a conceptual framework. The mentoring funnel
can be used by organizations and Mentor Michigan when planning, implementing and
assessing efforts to provide mentors to children who need them. The funnel identifies
key steps in the recruitment and mentoring process to be measured, including number
of inquires from potential mentors, number of written applications, background checking
processes, training process, number and type of mentoring matches, duration and
intensity of matches and mentors repeating the mentoring experience or referring others
to become mentors. See the "State of Mentoring in Michigan" for more information.

Mentor Michigan AmeriCorps
A Michigan's AmeriCorps Program
Executive Summary
Mentor Michigan AmeriCorps (MMA) is one of several initiatives designed to answer
Governor Granholm's call to engage 10,000 new mentors by 2006. Governor Granholm laid out
this call in response to the overwhelming need for mentors. According to a 2004 survey sample
of Michigan mentoring organizations, there are a total of2,661 children waiting for a mentor.
Some children wait as long as 104 weeks to be matched, while the average wait is 15
weeks. To date, it is estimated that nearly 600,000 youth in Michigan could benefit from a
relationship with a mentor. MMA's mission is to increase the number of mentors and strengthen
the capacity of mentoring organizations to do their job more effectively and efficiently.
MMA will comprise a corps of 40 (FTEs) members strategically placed across Michigan
to support mentoring initiatives and recruit mentors at the local and regional levels. MMA will
engage at least 1,000 additional volunteers in mentoring and related activities.
MMA will be comprised of two components. At the local level, AmeriCorps members
will be placed in individual agencies to support and recruit mentors. At a regional level, a team
of five corps members will be assigned regions to provide the training, technical assistance and
communication resources necessary to support the work of the local AmeriCorps members.
This hi-level approach will help ensure that the MMA program and its members are not only
supported, but also provide a broader context for the program and its outreach.
Local and regional sites will utilize the information gathered by the Mentor Michigan
Census (an annual survey of mentoring organizations in Michigan) to determine a baseline for
their work and guage their progress against subsequent versions of the Census in coordination
with their own mentor matching records.
MMA will be hosted by the ConnectMichigan Alliance (CMA), a statewide nonprofit
organization with an annual operating budget of $1.4 million. CMA currently hosts three
AmeriCorps*VIST A programs that focus on education, volunteer management capacity building
and mentoring. MMA will compliment these efforts by expanding the national service resources
to more Michigan communities looking to answer Governor Granholm ' s call to service.

FYOS Citizen Corps Funding Recommendations
Citizen Corps nationally had a 62% cut. Michigan Citizen Corps has been
allocated $377,549 for fiscal year 2005. There is no minimum pass through for this
funding. The FY05 Homeland Security Guidelines allow for communities to utilize
Homeland Security Funds for Citizen Corps. With Michigan and the rest of the nation
receiving such a drastic cut I propose that Michigan Citizen Corps does not RFP any
competitive grants this year. With the following budget break down you will understand
my reasoning.
Personnel- wages, travel
(other expenses)
$120,000
Six (6) Train the Trainer
classes to be held at OCC
(@ $13,500 each class two
this year four for 06)

Special Projects and projected Fy06 funding
Special Projects TEEN SERT
Milan High School recently finished training Michigan 's first TEEN School
Emergency Response Team. I attended a mock disaster on Thursday, April 14, 2005.
The TEEN SERT Team functioned beyond expectations! The scenario was a simulated
boiler explosion. The Team had no prior notice of the drill and responded just as they
were trained . They will be holding a graduation, with a date TBD, and I invite the
council to attend if they are able.
Sports Training
Saturday, April 2, 2005 at the Tiger Club, Comerica Park was the location for the
first CERT training of staff from Comerica , Ford Field , Joe Louis, and The Palace.
There were also participants from BC/BS , The Theater District, and Wayne County
Government. In all there were 167 participants who attended the 9 hours of training .
The participants had already received prior first aid and fire training so the first half of
the class consisted of CERT training and the second half Weapons of Mass
Destruction. Karen Marsh Deputy Director of Citizen Corps, James Opoka , Regional
Citizen Corps Manager, and County Executive Ficano were in attendance to observe
the training. (See attached additional VIP attendance list)
DHS Training Grant
The Department of Homeland Security posted a training grant for submittal of
concept papers with the following topics;
Training that addresses how to develop, conduct and maintain a government Continuity
of Operations Planning (COOP) program.
Training that strengthens the ability of State and local communities to improve
intelligence and operational capabilities for prevention and deterrence of terrorist acts.
Training that provides the skills necessary to develop self reliant community groups and
individual citizens when preparing for, responding to and recovering from an incident of
national significance, i.e ., Citizen Corps, Community Emergency Response Teams
(CERT) and other recognized community-related programs.
�Training to enhance the transit systems ' (rail, bus, ferry) capacity to prevent and/or
manage the consequences of terrorist attacks.
Training that develops or augments port facilities' ability to prevent, deter, and/or
respond to domestic terrorist acts.
Training to increase or enhance the capabilities of health care providers for situations
involving mass casualty care operations.
I approached Dr Phillip Schertzing, from Michigan State University with a proposal to
provide train-the-trainer programs with supporting tools and materials for campus public
safety or emergency services personnel at colleges and universities nationwide to train
Campus Community Emergency Response Teams (C-CERT) and to form campus
Citizen Corps Councils integrated with local, surrounding or adjacent communities
consistent with the National Preparedness Goal.
Dr Schertzing accepted my proposal and Michigan Citizen Corps and MSU have
submitted a concept paper to ODP with a 1.5 million dollar budget. If accepted MCC
and MSU will have to submit a full grant proposal. If the grant is approved MCC and
MSU will be creating a Campus CERT program at MSU. Following the initial train-thetrainer for the core cadre, a pilot C-CERT program would be conducted for MSU
involving students, faculty and staff selected by MSU Department of Police and Public
Safety (MSU DPPS). An MSU Citizen Corps council will also be established in
conjunction with the city of East Lansing, The C-CERT train-the-trainer program will be
delivered on a regional basis nationwide in collaboration with the International
Association of Campus Law Enforcement Administrators (IACLEA). IACLEA is
organized into six major regions nationwide.
Arab Translation
The translation is almost finished and I will roll it out as soon as I receive it and
will target Dearborn and Dearborn Heights as the initial pilot programs.
FY06 Funding
The Presidents proposed FY06 Homeland Security Budget calls for an allocation
of 50 million dollars. I have heard several rumors that one would draw the conclusion
that FY05 15 million was too much. I am staying optimistic and hope that at least
funding is restored to FY04 $40 million for Citizen Corps. I have created a Google news
search for Citizen Corps and CERT related articles and every day I am receiving articles
where communities are creating CERT programs. This needs to get into the
congressional leaders radar screen so they will see the funding is well spent and just
from the programs I have put in motion here in Michigan. I am very passionate about
Citizen Corps and the CERT program is the glue that holds it together and is the driving
force behind. If any of the council can get this information into those leaders' hands we
will be creating country truly prepared and future generations of prepared Americans.

Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) Training
Goes Major League
On April 2, 2005 , sports history was made at Comerica Park in Detroit, Michigan .
And no- it wasn't a milestone home run , or a great catch. Rather, history was made
when 169 event staff from Comerica Park, Ford Field , Joe Louis Arena , and The Palace
came together as a team to get trained in the Community Emergency Response Team
(CERT) program .
CERT is an integral part of Citizen Corps, the Department of Homeland Security's
grassroots movement to actively involve everyone in making our communities and our
nation safer, stronger, and better prepared . We all have role in hometown security and
more than 1600 Citizen Corps Councils across the country are working to provide local
opportunities for everyone to prepare, train , and volunteer for all hazards and .threats.
The CERT program educates citizens about disaster preparedness and provides
hands-on training in basic disaster response skills, including fire safety, light search and
rescue , and disaster medical operations. Once trained , CERT members can assist
themselves , their families , and others in their neighborhood or workplace following a
disaster and can take a more active role in supporting first responders .
Detroit's sports arenas will be in the spotlight over the next few years , hosting several
high profile events. Comerica Park will be host to the 2005 All Star Game. In 2006 ,
Ford Field will host the 40th Super Bowl. And , in 2008, Ford Field will host the NCAA
Final Four. Along with the excitement and national attention that comes with hosting
these high visibility sporting events, there is also an added set of challenges to focus
�MICHIGAN *
citizen . corps
on, most importantly security and preparedness. The City of Detroit, Detroit Tigers , and
Detroit Lion organizations, along with several federal agencies are working together to
make sure the best security measures are in place to prevent any type of disaster from
impacting the stadiums and the fans during the events.
The City of Detroit, its professional sporting organizations, and the state and local
Citizen Corps Councils are working together to ensure that the CERT training is a hit.
Michigan Citizen Corps and Detroit Citizen Corps are providing the training , materials
and equipment for this kick-off event. Because this first class is geared towards staff
with prior training in first aid and fire safety, the day-long event focused on disaster
preparedness, disaster psychology, the incident command system , and weapons of
mass destruction . The remaining staff will receive the full , standard 20 hours of CERT
training , so that Detroit can provide their fans with an enjoyable- and safeentertainment experience!

prepare for and respond to local emergencies. It trains and
engages volunteers to make communities safer, stronger, and
better prepared to respond to emergencies and disasters of all
kinds, including threats of terrorism , natural disasters, crime, an d
public health issues.
When Michigan Citizen Corps began in April of 2002 , the priority
was to coordinate its activities with Michigan's Emergency
Management. This coordination has been the success of Michigan
Citizen Corps and was recently written into the states Homeland
Security Plan .
Michigan Citizen Corps works closely with State and Federal
Departments of Homeland Security, the Michigan State Police
Division of Emergency Management, Michigan Department of
Community Health, Corporation for National and Community
Service and numerous key affiliates to promote Citizen Corps
programs statewide.
Michigan Citizen Corps experienced tremendous growth in 2004 .
Council growth went from 16 to 45 councils (17 local and 28
county), an increase of 181 .25% . Recent successes are the Arab
translation of the CERT program and CERT training of the sports
staff at Michigan's major league sports arenas
Currently under development is the TEEN School Emergency
Response Training (SERT) program begun at Milan High School as
a dual enrollment course in which students receive college credit
from Eastern Michigan University. The Governor's advisor on
Homeland Security will be working with Michigan Citizen Corps and
Eastern Michigan University to promote the TEEN SERT program.
Also under development, in cooperation with the Michigan State
Police Emergency Management Division , is a database of all
Michigan citizens that are disaster trained . Locating and
identifying Michigan trained volunteers is critical to strengthen first
responders and emergency management if a statewide disaster
occurs .
2005 GOALS
To synchronize Michigan Citizen Corps programs with key National
preparedness initiatives, National Incident Management System
Guidelines, and 2005 Homeland Security Grant Guidelines.

Welcome and Introduction - Chairperson Mulhern
The meeting was called to order at 12:08 p.m. by Chairperson Mulhern and he
welcomed everyone to the meeting. Mary Zatina introduced Natalie Copeland
who is a Dearborn Heights High School student and is shadowing Mary Zatina
this week. Martha Bottomley and Sara Ballard introduced themselves to the
Commissioners.
Janet Lawson explained that February is Black History Month and played a
speech by Lani Guinier on the needs of a national conversation on race.
Ms. Lawson shared that January was National Mentoring Month and that we had
a great month with several media interviews by Chairman Dan Mulher. The
Mentoring Month PSA's, one with the Governor and First Gentleman and the
other with Dennis Archer, were also viewed.
II.
Review and Approval of December 13, 2004 Minutes - Chairperson Mulhern
Chairperson Mulhern asked for a motion to approve the minutes from the
December 13, 2004 board meeting. Commissioner Parker moved to approve
the minutes, Commissioner Mawby seconded the motion. The motion passed
unanimously.
III.
Standing Committee Reports
A. Fund Development Committee- Mary Grill gave a briefupdate on the
fundraising for the Governor's Service Awards/Carter Partnership Award.
The goal is $335,000, which is a joint goal of the MCSC Fundraising
Committee and the Carter Partnership Awards Host Committee.
B. Learn and Serve Ad-hoc Committee- Commissioner Pardoe explained that
the Learn and Serve Ad-hoc Committee met today prior to the Commissioner
meeting. She explained that the service-learning funding is being cut. A
group similar to the Save AmeriCorps Coalition has formed , called Service
Learning United, and is trying to help to get funding back to previous levels.
The Committee also discussed that if service-learning is going to be an
important part of the Commission, there needs to be a plan to sustain it. The
funding is based fully on federal funding so there needs to be a way in the
future to find another way to sustain it. The Committee feels that service-
2
�learning is an important piece to helping young people understand what it is to
volunteer and also learn while they're doing it. They recommend bringing in
someone to speak at the next Commission meeting on service-learning to give
Commissioners an understanding on what it really is. The Committee will
also be putting a plan together to move the Commission forward on sustaining
service-learning.
Ms. Lawson explained that after going through a series of these conversations,
whether it's marketing, service-learning, or fund development, the MCSC
needs to put together a plan and a budget for funding the actual work of the
Commission. The ArneriCorps, Service-Learning, etc. staff live offthe
residue of what we can keep from federal grants to administer the MCSC and
it isn' t working. We need to go to our state legislators to make a case, put
together a budget and get their input on a budget. If service-learning is going
to be a solution to education or if mentoring is going to be a solution to gangs,
teen pregnancy, substance abuse, etc., then it's time to show ourselves this
solution and make a case for a budget that is going to fund the work that needs
to be done. It is difficult if the legislators don't know face-to-face who the
MCSC is and the work we do, and we need to be loud about it to tell them this
is what it' s going to take to be the solution on these initiative areas. It ' s not a
matter that the State doesn' t have the money- the State has the problem. The
Governor has indicated where her initiative areas are and what needs to be
solved and implemented and the Commission is the solution to that.
Chairman Mulhern stated that this is a great discussion of where we add value
on a state level. He stated that there will be a new superintendent for the
Department of Education and there may be new energy for service-learning.
Kyle Caldwell explained a handout Commissioners received regarding
Service Learning United. The discussion that the MCSC is having at the state
level is the same conversation taking place at the national level. The federal
resources are shrinking while the demand and the programming needs and the
theme of service-learning are growing. These organizations that are a part of
this Serving-Learning network, including State Commissions, State
Department of Education organizations, higher education and nonprofits, have
all said that they need to effectively defme what service-learning means and
then go after a broad funding base in order to support it and fmd champions to
help. Service-Learning United is one of those champions. It is a coalition of
different organizations, including the ConnectMichigan Alliance, who are
leading the country in trying to really focus on two fundamental areas. The
first is to ensure that the Corporation for National and Community Service
funding remains and grows: Right now the Corporation' s budget for Learn
and Serve has decreased but it is still in the budget. The second is to focus on
what the regulations are that will affect service-learning and Learn and Serve
funding specifically. As was discussed at the last Commission meeting, the
Corporation is looking at the rulemaking process for Learn and Serve. Each
3
�of these networks is getting organized to build support for what they should be
and how they should be even beyond the federal funding. There is a letter in
the packet that is being supported by the National Community Service
Caucus, which is a group of House members that have gotten together to say
they believe in service-learning. Their letter to the Corporation is about the
funding as well as support for regulation that helps support local
organizations. There are organizations joining together to unite and talking
about the same conversation that the MCSC is having today- how do you
fund and support national community service with and beyond federal dollars?
The MCSC is a part of this network. What will be important to monitor in the
future is how what we think is important gets filtered up to the national level.
Mr. Caldwell mentioned that there is a Michigan member, Congressman
Thaddeus McCotter, that is a member of the National Community Service
Caucus and encouraged Commissioners to introduce themselves as a member
of the Commission and say that you have knowledge of this activity and are a
steward of service-learning in Michigan and support his work with the caucus.
Chairman Mulhern mentioned that it would be nice to have Congressman
McCotter join us at a meeting or event. Mr. Caldwell also mentioned that he
has a former AmeriCorps VISTA member in his office that is extremely
excited to make connections with us. Cong. McCotter's office asked what
kind of national service is taking place in his district. There is not much
going on in his district so the MCSC will need to highlight what he may think
is important.
Chairman Mulhern requested that at the next board meeting the Commission
discuss the relationship between the State Board of Education and the MCSC
and how we work together, the education apparatus of community service.
The MCSC should look at other states to see how that interface works, where
do we add value and what do we bring that the education community doesn't.
Should we focus on the nonprofit side and help them to interface with schools
or should the focus be on the education side and developing curriculum.
IV .
Commissioner Involvement I State of the State
Bullet points from the Governor' s State of the State Address were handed out to
Commissioners and the Commissioners discussed the areas that pertained to the
MCSC including the MERIT Scholarship and the 40 hours of volunteer service
hours that will be required. This is a great opportunity to engage the students in
service and civic engagement. Some of the areas that Commissioners mentioned
that the MCSC could focus on were: developing a mentoring relationship to
mentor college students most likely to drop-out (freshman); develop a program
for professionals (over 55 and retirees) to mentor young students/entrepreneurs to
keep them in Michigan; tie in volunteering to community impact priorities and
research (ex : homelessness); retain the mentors/prevent mentor burnout; make
mentoring the norm. It was suggested that there should be a conversation
4
�between Commissioners (Wendy, Bernard, etc.) for other type ofmentoring (ex.
30 year olds with seniors) so that people are not turned off to mentoring if it only
relates to children.
Kari Pardoe is working with theY AC (Youth Advisory Council) members to
work more closely with Mentor Michigan. The members could mentor seniors on
using computers, etc.
Ms. Kaiser mentioned that one area that could offer financial support to students
that may not be able to go to college is the Presidential Scholarships which is
$1000 ($500 with a $500 match) that they can qualify for by completing 100
hours of service. Ms. Kaiser will work on getting a list of schools that
participate. The other area to offer financial support is the AmeriCorps program
with either the traditional program or the Education Only program.
Kyle Caldwell stated that each one of the Governor's initiatives has both a
leveraging point for service as well as an illustration point. Either that service is
part of the front end (MERIT awards) in order to get the benefit, or during the
benefit that service becomes a component. So you're using, as an underlying
component, service as a strategy.
V.
Updates on Progress and Challenges
A.
Mentor Michigan - Mary Grill gave an update on Mentoring Month. All
of the goals that were set for the month were met! It was a very successful
month. PSA's were sent out to all the major media markets. They do not
specifically mention Mentoring Month so it was suggested that the PSA's
could be sent to the GSA sponsors or other corporations to play
throughout the month of January or throughout the year on their internal
communications systems.
Kyle Caldwell shared information on a joint press conference announcing
a public/private initiative called the Women's Leadership Initiative. This
is a new program through the United Way that will recruit women and
young girls in six Michigan cities to engage more women in service and
philanthropy. Janet Lawson also spoke at the press conference to share
information on the MCSC and the importance of service.
Paula Kaiser explained that the Mentor Michigan Provider Council met
recently. They have organized themselves around a few key areas. They
felt it was important for Michigan to develop specific mentoring standards
which will be modeled after the national elements of effective practices.
They have established several committees that will focus on training and
support for the field of mentoring, evaluation work, marketing and public
relations, and collaboration. They meet on a quarterly basis.
5
�B.
AmeriCorps - Paula Kaiser explained the background on the Michigan ' s
AmeriCorps Competitive Renewal Application and that all seven of the
currently funded competitive programs are eligible for renewal funding.
Staff recommends renewal funding at the recommended amount of: BHK
Child Development at $673,318, City Year Detroit at $695 ,230, Good
Samaritan Ministries at $130,126, MARESA at $201 ,490, Michigan
Department of Agriculture at $228,873, MSU Extension at $252,105, the
Regents of the University of Michigan at $302,934 for a total of
$2,484,076. Commissioner Meg Smith made a motion to approve the
renew funding, Commissioner Jerry Seese seconded the motion. The
motion passed unanimously.
Andy Younger explained that the AmeriCorps Member Council met
recently. Each AmeriCorps program has a representative on the council.
The overall goal of the council is to provide a greater understanding for
the different AmeriCorps programs. This gives them an opportunity to
network with other AmeriCorps programs and to develop their leadership
skills.
C.
Volunteer Investment Grants - Paula Kaiser explained that the MCSC met
with the leadership ofthe Volunteer Centers ofMichigan to discuss the
2005 Volunteer Investment Grants (VIG). Through these discussions it
was proposed that $200,000 would go to the Volunteer Centers of
Michigan to focus on a couple of key project areas, rather than to grant the
money out to local volunteers centers. If the MCSC were to grant this
money out to the local centers, the amount of the grants would not be
enough to leverage any significant impact. The Volunteer Centers of
Michigan will develop a statewide tracking and evaluation system that
helps them talk about their value and what they are accomplishing. They
will be working with Bob Kahle to develop this tracking system. There are
also funds in the proposal to help the volunteer centers obtain the
technology they need to have a web presence. Martha Bottomley
explained that Volunteer Centers are excited to move forward with these
proposals.
Commissioner Newport made a motion to approve the Volunteer
Investment Grants funding of $200,000 to the Volunteer Centers of
Michigan. Commissioner Seese seconded the motion. The motion
passed unanimously.
D.
Learn and Serve - Angelia Salas gave a brief overview of the ServiceLearning Institute that will take place next week in Adrian and invited
Commissioners to attend .
6
�V.
E.
Governor's Service Awards - Mary Grill gave an update on the
Governor's Service Awards. The event will take place on June 18, 2005 ,
at the Dearborn Hyatt Regency. Commissioners have received packets
with nomination forms for the awards and should consider nominating
someone.
F.
Financial Report- Garry Gross gave an overview of the MCSC Financial
Report.
New Business
A.
Diversity Presentation - AI Flores, from the Michigan Department of Civil
Rights, gave a presentation on cultural diversity.
B.
ConnectMichigan Alliance/National Service Update - Kyle Caldwell
summarized the federal budget and how it affects funding for the
Corporation for National and Community Service (CNCS). AmeriCorps
and Learn and Serve funding was decreased. Homeland Security and
Mentoring budget areas were increased. Mr. Caldwell stated that it will
be important for state commissions to stress to their legislators that this
budget item is important because it will be going against programs that
were zeroed out (vocational education, higher education, child welfare
programs). The MCSC should use its contacts in the National Service
Caucus (Rep. Thaddeus McCotter is on that caucus). Representatives
Kilpatrick and Knollenberg are also on appropriations and also Senators
Levin and Stabenow support national service. There is $22 .5 million
dollars at stake for Michigan in AmeriCorps, Learn and Serve and Senior
Corps funding.
C.
Super Bowl XL- Chairman Mulhern explained that he has had
conversations with the Super Bowl XL Host Committee and will be
working with them on promoting Mentor Michigan. It will be used as an
opportunity to get corporate support on both the financial side and the
mentoring side. The volunteer recruitment will be a huge undertaking as
Michigan will need to recruit 10,000 volunteers. The commissioners
broke up into four groups to discuss four areas: Lead or support; Is this
consistent with our goals and mission?; What would success look like?;
and Risks/pitfalls.
VI.
Public Comment
There was no public comment.
VII.
Adjourn
Commissioner Collier asked for a motion to adjourn. Commissioner Smith made
a motion to adjourn, Commissioner Young-Welch seconded the motion.

district has a service requirement of 40 hours. The community has embraced the
idea that service is a part of life. The program started in 1992. Ann Hart, also a
Service Learning Coordinator for the district, gave background on how their
service-learning program began. Currently, every curriculum area at their schools
have a service learning project. At least 50% of the high school teachers are using
service learning in their classroom. Over 75% of last year's graduating class had
service learning experience.
IV.
Mentor Michigan
A. Census II Results - Bob Kahle presented the Mentor Michigan Census Wave
II results. The objectives of the census were to identify and track mentoring
organizations, the programs they operate and the number of kids they match
with mentors. The MCSC also wants to understand the program components,
the needs of the mento ring organizations, and to encourage and support
evaluation. He explained the "funnel" and how to build the mentoring
movement in Michigan. The first step is to generate awareness and do a better
job of recruitment. The next step of the funnel is mentor preparation and
2
�selection which is the background checking and the training issues. The final
step is the actual mentoring. Mentoring generates positive outcomes for the
kids, adults who mentor and the community. Out of 207 identified
mentoring organizations, 136 completed the census. The MCSC intends to
go back into the field in fall of2005. Out of 105 organizations that
participated in Wave I of the census, 96 of them answered the survey the
second time.
One thing learned was that to have more mentors, you have to have more
inquiries and have to generate more awareness. How did Mentor Michigan do
in terms of inquiries and applications in 2004? There were almost 10,000
inquiries and almost 6,300 new applications. This is a significant increase in
the number of new applications. In the first two months of 2005 there have
been over 3,900 inquiries and 1,800 applications. From January to August
2004 there was a monthly average of 728 inquiries and almost 500
applications. From August 2004 to the end of the year, the monthly average
also increased. The monthly averages for the first two months of2005
increased to 1900 inquiries and 926 applications. Clearly there is momentum
in the Mentoring Month activities. Mentor Michigan can now document that
about 27,000 young people have been served in 2004 and almost 16,000
people volunteered to be mentors. From February 2004 to February 2005, 94
organizations reported increases in the number of youths they have matched
with a mentor and 29% reported a decrease. The number of organizations
reporting an increase were 3,282, those reporting a decrease were 1,066 for an
increase of 2,216 more kids being mentored. There was also a growth of
1,438 active mentors from August 2004 to February 2005. This is due partly
to the number of organizations that are now reporting but there is also growth
in those organizations that reported in both periods.
In terms of mentor and mentee demographics, there was a large increase of
18-25 year old mentors. There are more male youth being served and there is
also an increase in the percentage of youth age 6-11 being served and a
decline in the number of 12-14 year olds served. There is also changes in the
race demographics. There are a large portion of Caucasians being served and
a relatively small proportion of African-Americans being served. This does
not mean that fewer African-Americans are being served but that there was
reporting from new organizations that serve primarily Caucasians.
There are two barriers to the growth of mentoring in Michigan. There are too
few male mentors. More men need to be recruited to increase the number of
kids being served. The second is the lack of staff support for recruitment.
Mento ring organizations report that they are at their capacity in terms of the
number of mentors they can serve. For many, they need to talk about
operating budget enhancements or find a way to reduce the overhead of the
mentoring organizations (i.e., screening, training, and match). One key thing
to figure out is the loss of mentors after they have inquired because there is a
3
�big drop off between the number that inquire and the number of applications
and a further drop off of those that are matched. The first reason is they
won't fill out the written application. The second is the time requirement of
being a mentor. There is a smaller decline after they learn about the needs
and characteristics of the youth and also the training requirements. Liability
was not an issue with 50% of the mentoring organizations. Another key point
is the screening process. Several of the organizations don' t want to go
through the extra step of the extra costs of screening. As far as the criminal
background check, only about 5% of applicants are not able to be mentors
because of what was found in the background checks. It needs to be
encouraged to all organizations that 100% ofthe ·applicants need to screened.
Michigan's mentoring organizations are satisfied with the work of Mentor
Michigan with 40% being very satisfied and 38% being somewhat satisfied.
Only 18% of those surveyed were not aware ofMentor Michigan. They are
satisfied through the marketing and awareness building, the recruitment
support and the partnership and resource development.
Process Recommendations- Using the funnel, there are three key areas:
recruitment, mentor preparation and mentoring. Under recruitment, the three
areas that need focus are to emphasize and support mentor retention, seek
referrals from existing mentors, and become more targeted in recruitment
efforts. Next is mentor preparation and selection. Many of the mentoring
organizations are at or near capacity. It will be necessary to focus on workprocess efficiencies and to provide tools and training for mentoring
organizations to seek operating support funds . Last is mentoring. It is
important that we balance the objectives with not only more numbers of
mentors, but also the quality of mentors.
B. ConnectMichigan Alliance Report - Kyle Caldwell explained a proposal for
an AmeriCorps program that would support Mentor Michigan. The goal is to
garner 1,000 additional volunteers in mentoring. It would take on two stages.
The first would have a number of members that would work with
communities to promote and strengthen local volunteer organizations around
mentoring. The second would work on a regional basis to provide support in
training, technical assistance and communication resources to support the
local AmeriCorps members.
He also shared some of the results from the
Mentor Michigan VISTA program. There are over 230 partner organizations
involved and 1,818 new mentors recruited. They are looking at growing the
program in the next year to areas not served.
C. Mentor Michigan Momentum - The Commissioners broke into group
discussions to discuss corporate participation strategy and state initiatives
strategy. (See notes for discussions attached.)

�V.
Standing Committee Reports
A. Fund Development Committee - Mary Grill gave a brief update on the
fundraising for the Governor's Service Awards/Carter Partnership Award and
shared that so far $239,500 has been raised (which is 140% over last year's
goal). She thanked several of the Commissioners who have been helping to
solicit donations.
B. Public Relations Committee - Commissioner Young-Welch stated that the
Committee has proposed some subcommittees to get more of the
Commissioners involved in state activities. There would be three different
subcommittees and would solicit Commissioners involvement in their regional
areas. The committees are Community Activity, Media Activities
Committee and Publicity Committee. The Commission staff does not have
the manpower to help promote the activities of the Commission. The thought
is that Commission members need to step up and acknowledge an area where
they can be of assistance.
Commissioner Swain shared that this would be
an opportunity to use those outside the Commission to help build capacity.
The structure can be bigger than the Commission and staff. Kyle stated that
there is nothing in the bylaws that would prevent the Commission from
bringing in others to participate in committees.
VI.
Updates on Progress and Challenges
A.
Executive Director Report
1. Super Bowl XL - Janet explained that the MCSC has made a
presentation to the Super Bowl XL Host Committee to have the
Commission help recruit and train volunteers. There is a proposal to
have a pre-event with mentors and mentees.
2. MCSC Progress towards 2005 Goals- The Commissioners received a
handout outlining the progress towards the goals.
B.
AmeriCorps- Paula Kaiser gave background on the Michigan' s
AmeriCorps Formula Renewal and New Application. The MCSC was
awarded about $3.5 million to fund new and continuing formula programs.
The Corporation notified the Commission that they could fund no more
than 257 full-time members (this was a change from previous years where
the MCSC could fund as many members as they could afford). The
MCSC had enough money to fund everything that came in but not enough
slots (1 0 slots short). So the stafflooked at programs that didn't fill all
their slots last year (2 programs) and reduced their requested number of
slots by one FTE. In additional, the MCSC reduced the two new
programs' number of slots.

Re: Board Meeting
Yes, sorry someone wasn't in touch with you sooner. Here is what I know now:
-The board meeting is on May 20th .
-They want you to present at 9:00 for about 15 minutes .
-1 think you should talk about the history and current scope of s-1at L'Anse. There probably is a nice
segue into Merit and how you've been working with others to develop similar plans (wh ich says a lot about
your comm itment and leadership in the field and also says something about what can/should happen with
a L&S grant) . Finally, they will want to hear how the MCSC , in some small way, helped you get where you
are now. Vicki might want to talk about how culturally accepted service and service-l earning is among the
youth and how in her role with SL YC she's been trying to encourage more youth to serve.
These are just MY thoughts, please include anything you think is pertinent and organize it as you see fit.
Please let me know if you need me to make copies or anything.
-The board meeting is at Camp Ozanam , north of Port Huron. I will send you directions as soon as we
get them .
Please let me know if you have other questions. I'll follow up as details become available. :-)
Thanks!!!

Hi Ang , You had asked if Vicki and I would speak at the Board meeting on the 20th in Port Huron . Last
night Janet told Emma she was anxious for Emma and Ann to go to the Board meeting and when Emma
know nothing about it, they asked me what I knew. I said you had just mentioned it and I was waiting for
details and instructions . Looks like it will be both of us attending . Can you get us any details like time and
place . Thanks . Ann

MCSC Board Meeting on Friday, May 20 2005
Enclosed is the packet for the MCSC Board Meeting on Friday, May 20, 2005. The meeting
will be held in the Chapel at Camp Ozanam, which is located outside Lexington, approximately
30 minutes north of Port Huron (directions are attached). Please do not use MapQuest

The meeting will begin at 9:00 a.m. and conclude with lunch at noon. During the meeting we
will have a presentation from a MCSC grantee, L' Anse Cruese Schools, on service-learning.
We will also hear from Bob Kahle on the Mentor Michigan Census II results.
AmeriCorps Member Council members will be joining Commissioners for lunch. Following
the MCSC Board Meeting, Commissioners are invited to participate in the Russ Mawby
Signature Service Project which begins with the Opening Ceremony at 1:00 p.m. This is an
excellent opportunity for Commissioners to join the energy of more than 150 Michigan
AmeriCorps members as they begin this year's service project.
Commissioners are also invited to join us on Saturday, May 21, beginning at 7:45a.m. for the
Habitat build in Port Huron. A press conference will be held with MCSC Chairman Dan
Mulhern, elected officials, and Habitat homeowners at 10:00 am.
I look forward to seeing you on Friday, May 201h, at Camp Ozanam.
