Welcome and Introduction - Chairperson Mulhern Commissioner Mike Makki welcomed everyone to ACCESS and gave a brief overview of the facility. He then introduced Ismael Ahmed, Executive Director, ACCESS, who welcomed everyone and introduced several ACCESS department heads and explained what their roles are. He described their AmeriCorps*VISTA program. ACCESS is 33 years old and started as a small storefront to help neighborhood citizens. This year ACCESS will open case records on 50,000 people in 70 programs and serve 500,000 contacts with people that don't open case records but need programs in cultural, food and shelter. ACCESS works with other communities across the city and state and has also began to work with programs nationally. AmeriCorps*VISTA has been a part of ACCESS for the past 12 years, developing new programs, helping projects that ACCESS couldn't afford to get done in the neighborhood, particularly with young people, and helping to educate new immigrants. Mr. Ahmed introduced Karen Rignall and she explained how ACCESS is working with communities around the country to get ArabAmericans involved in building their communities. The AmeriCorps*VISTA program is giving a jumpstart to efforts in organizing Arab-American communities to make sure they have access to services they need including social services, after-school services and parenting classes. The meeting was called to order at 12:15 p.m. by Chairperson Mulhern. Chairperson Mulhern welcomed everyone to the meeting and asked the Commissioners to introduce themselves and to share how long they've been with the Commission. II. Review and Approval of September 11-12, 2003 Minutes - Chairperson Mulhern Chairperson Mulhern asked for a motion to approve the minutes from the September 11-12, 2003 board meeting. Commissioner Mawby moved to approve the minutes, Commissioner Pickard seconded the motion. The motion passed unanimously. 2 �III. Review of MCSC Mission and Goals - Chairperson Mulhern and Kyle Caldwell A. Review Goals and Draft Mission Statement- Chairperson Mulhern Chairperson Mulhern discussed the new proposed vision statement. There was a great deal of discussion about this at the retreat and great conversations that pointed out a reciprocal nature and how to build a culture where people serve and are served in the process and stimulate other people to service and volunteerism and that they feel it is fulfilling for themselves. The proposed vision statement is a reflection of that and a melding of prophetic and visionary role and a practice notion of what we do. The proposed vision statement reads: "Building a culture of service by providing vision and resources to strengthen communities through volunteerism." Chairperson Mulhern felt it was a happy blend but is open to conversation about the statement. He asked for any questions or comments. With no questions, Chairperson Mulhern asked for a motion to accept the new vision statement. Commissioner O'Day moved to approve the new vision statement, Commissioner Seese supported. The motion passed unanimously. B. Overview ofMCSC Scope of Work- Kyle Caldwell Chairperson Mulhern asked Kyle Caldwell to outline the goals for the upcoming year. Kyle explained that the idea of going through goal-setting with what the MCSC has gone through in the past year is almost crazy but found it was a good exercise because it taught us the value ofwhat we are doing. Mr. Caldwell gave a powerpoint presentation with an overview of the organization in the last 18 months, where we are budget wise, and where we're going. The MCSC organization consists of four elements working all at once. The bulk of what the MCSC does in both scale and time is a grantmaking organization. We deliver grants but also help with evaluation, getting quality programs, dealing with monitoring and oversight, but also how to grow and build capacity of those programs that receive funds. The next layer is we convene innovative volunteer programs and efforts to finding opportunities. These Mentor Michigan summits are an example of how to convene people to talk out the issues for the non-profit sector. What do they need around volunteers and how the MCSC can help through grantmaking, other activities, and leadership to really make things happen. The third level is the MCSC recognizes those things that are exemplary service both on the individual and organization basis with the Governor's Service Awards and Mentoring Summits. The pinnacle the MCSC is trying to build towards is encouraging people to volunteer. All of the other things help support that. Mr. Caldwell explained that the MCSC is a state government organization that promotes and supports a variety of different volunteer efforts. It is govern by a Governor appointed board and administers state and federal funds with the bulk being federal funding. It also is a provider of statewide recognition of exemplary volunteers. 3 �When you look at the MCSC programs, it breaks out into some basic areas. AmeriCorps deals with human needs, education, public safety, and environment all in the context of an AmeriCorps program working in a team at a grassroots level. The AmeriCorps members receive a stipend and education award for their term of service. Citizen Corps, which is one of the newer federal programs to MCSC, focuses on homeland security, citizen preparedness, and community organizing at the grassroots level. Learn & Serve - working with young people (K-12) to encourage the idea of service to communities but also using it as a way of doing hands-on learning with kids. This program is administered with the Department of Education. It involves more than 33,000 students annually. Volunteer Investment Grants is an endowment building program for volunteer resource centers across the state that has leveraged almost $6 million in endowments for volunteer centers so that they can continue their work. It's one of a kind in the nation, no other state is doing this. It is focusing on the longterm capacity of volunteer resource organizations. Mentor Michigan is the newest program and Paula Kaiser will talk more about this later. This is one of the MCSC's biggest priorities given the interest of the Governor, First Gentleman, and all of the Commissioners. The goal is building capacity to help and encourage individuals to mentor and focuses on the mentoring nonprofit organizations. The Governor's Service Awards (GSA) is an annual recognition program. This year the GSA dinner will be in conjunction with the MCSC board meeting on May 24. It is awarded to volunteers for their exemplary service and this year is coupling with the Volunteerism SuperConference. When you look at MCSC programs by percentage, 94% of funds are federal. The largest single program is AmeriCorps with 51% of programming funding, 28% goes to Citizen Corps because that is a new and growing pool of funds, 15% for Learn and Serve, only 6% is state funding and that's for the Volunteer Investment Grants (that is more than several other states throughout the country) and Mentor Michigan hasn't been determined yet. When you look at the profile of the budget, it's weighted pretty heavily towards the federal initiatives. Mr. Caldwell went through the difference in the program funding between 2002 and 2003: AmeriCorps went from $6.2 million to $2 .2 million; Citizen Corps went from $444,785 to $1.3 million; Learn & Serve $879,770 to $700,000; VIG started out at $780,000 and went down to $280,000 this year. The MCSC is still doing an immense amount of work and staff are to be heralded for the work that 4 �they're doing with shrinking resources. It is getting to places that it's not been before and doing some great things across the state so there's a lot to be proud of. Impact numbers: In 2002 AmeriCorps had 696 members with 24 progrqms and there will be 300 members this year with the number of locations yet to be determined. Citizen Corps will be in 18 communities compared to six last year. The outlook for next year will be the ground breaking for Mentor Michigan. It's very exciting to see the work from the summits and the people were very excited about mentoring. There will be some restoration of AmeriCorps funding as $100 million was restored back into the budget for 2004. Hopefully the MCSC will see about a 25% increase in what we're able to do for next year for AmeriCorps. There is increased interest in Service-Learning and in February Representative Doug Hart will speak about the hearings that Diana Algra and the ServiceLearning team helped to facilitate over the course of the fall. There will be increased resources for Citizen Corps. It's going to be a growing part of the MCSC portfolio for a couple of years which is the federal trend. There will be continued budgetary restraints. The state economy is going to be slow in coming around. There will be increased pressure in workload because the workforce is not going to grow even though the MCSC programming and the kind of work we do is going to expand. Mr. Caldwell then discussed the goals for 03-04. The major goal for the organization this year is to get Mentor Michigan integrated into the Commission and it's programming. It's not a difficult challenge but for the first time we will take all of our program areas and focus on a type of volunteerism and that is a shift for the organization. This gives us the opportunity to do programming a little deeper in an area. Again, the MCSC has been general volunteerism for over a decade and now will be focusing down a little bit on one type ofvolunteerism. We need to examine the role of national service, we need to focus the staff on developing Mentor Michigan, and we're going to have to align our programs, including Governor's Service Awards. The MCSC will develop a long-range plan based on the Governor's goal of 10,000 mentors; determine an overall goal based on what we want to do this year specifically and then 4-15 years out; access the needs of communities as was done with the six mentoring summits and focus on the five areas to work on; develop an awareness campaign (January is National Mentoring Month); gather practioners to advise our work; and gamer resources to support those efforts. Mr. Caldwell explained the goals for AmeriCorps. Two years ago the biggest concern was if the President doubles or triples the size of AmeriCorps will there be the ground capacity to administer that and the ability to handle that scope of demand. Those were the plans that year. Then came the train wreck of the trust. All of our goals were expansion and we had the reality of contraction that we weren't ready for. So mid-summer the Senior Staff outlined the new goals: get this national thing fixed, get the federal funding restored, get this mess off the 5 �radar, and get back to the goals of our agenda. We've seen that. There's a new CEO at CNCS, $100 million more in the FY04 budget for AmeriCorps specifically, the goal of training in FY05 budget will have a larger increase for AmeriCorps and other things, the national area is focused on the communities not the administration. The communities are saying this needs to get fixed and this is how we want it fixed because of a grassroots community movement that we started. The Corporation is now listening to the field and that is a fundamental shift in this program. Mr. Caldwell outlined the goals for AmeriCorps: • • • • Continue to increase the level of funding for AmeriCorps and continue the advocacy work at the state and federal level. Align and encourage existing grantees toward mentoring - we put in the new application for AmeriCorps that this is a new and very clear priority. Increase and restore the number of AmeriCorps programs - we're looking at a 25% growth from the 300 this year to next year; maintain program support. Broaden the exposure of program efforts including bringing Commissioners to the AmeriCorps programs so that there is more interaction on the ground. Citizen Corps: • Triple the number of Citizen Corps councils. Currently there are 18 councils. The goal is to have 50 by the end of the year. • Work with existing and new councils to include all Citizen Corps programs. • Establish a CERT academy and integrate it into the Community College system. • Quadruple the number of CERT trainers across the state. There are currently 100 trainers. Volunteer Investment Grants: • Align grant-making with mentoring priorities. • Re-acquire some of the previous years' funding levels- $280,000 is a number we need to grow from. • Develop partnerships in corporate and philanthropic sector to see if we can infuse more resources into this program and provide more support. • Establish a data collection method to determine impact ofVIG. Currently we can tell you how much is invested but we can't tell you how many lives have been impacted. Learn and Serve: • Broaden the leadership and dialogue. The Learn and Serve team has been working to get policy makers involved and working with the State Superintendents through their association. • Secure increased levels of funding. • Secure and disseminate research on the effectiveness. This spring there should be data available on a study that has been done on service learning and MEAP scores. 6 �• • Develop a resource library for service-learning advocates to use but also for best practices. Develop a recognition program (Service Learning Award). Governor's Service Awards: • Increase the number of nominations. • Host a statewide recognition event (this year at the Volunteerism SuperConference). • Defray costs of GSA with fundraising. Mr. Caldwell explained that General Motors has sponsored $10,000 for GSA and thanked Commissioner Pickard for her help. • Secure media partners. • Broaden the support for GSA. Mr. Caldwell explained that the goals were compiled from the work from the retreat. Also, staff determined what they had going on and the things they needed to work on as well. So when you look at the goals, some are from the Commissioners comments and some are from the staff taking it to the next level. Chairperson Mulhern asked if any Commissioners had comments on the goals. Commissioner Newport stated that he like the goal statements that were compiled but was also anxious of looking beyond the immediate year. Is there any hope that we can look out to 2-year goals as opposed to the immediate year that we are halfway through. Mr. Caldwell stated that the answer is yes. For instance, Mentor Michigan. We can take the goal out for 3-4 years. We tried to talk about program specific goals. But external courses changed every single goal. We need to begin to take on these larger goals and see how elements can help support that. The vision statement is building a culture of service. What are the elements needed to build this culture of service and where do we want to begin to take that on? At the next retreat the board is going to have to look at the vision statement and see what kind of elements they want to see. Commissioner Pickard felt that the comments and recommendations regarding the Governor's Service Awards were looking at long term as far as making it an event that is meaningful. She also commended the staff for following up to comments that were made at the retreat. Commissioner Swain asked whether programs were going to have a problem shifting their focus to mentoring. Mr. Caldwell explained that mentoring was made a priority but that it wasn't the only priority. For many of the existing programs it wasn't a very big stretch because many of them are already working with schools and children. It did focus new applicants into an arena that we' ve not been before to get them to focus on mentoring. In the staff recommendations we did not say that if you weren't focused on mentoring, you weren't in. It was quality first. Paula Kaiser stated that of the 23 programs that filed Intent to Apply forms, 15 of those indicated that they are focused on mentoring. 7 �Commissioner Comer asked why there wasn 't a goal set for the number of mentors recmited. Mr. Caldwell explained that there isn' t a way to track the number of mentors yet but that Mentor Michigan is laying the foundation for being able to track that number. Chair Mulhern explained that Mentor Michigan has been recmiting this year via churches, the summits, etc., so it would be nice to account for what we've been doing. As a philosophical manner, he believes we need a goal even as we're trying to identify how we count. Commissioner Faris explained that when the invites were going out for the Mentoring Summits it was difficult to determine how many mentoring programs actually exist. There is not a measuring stick and there is not an organization that can tell you how many mentoring programs are out there, what they' re doing, and how many kids lives have been affected by mentoring. The programs are looking at Mentor Michigan to begin to provide that data. Chairperson Mulhern stated that through the Mentor Summits the question was asked what measures are needed for tracking. Chairperson Mulhern said that we will push towards what we 're going to measure and how many we're going to have by February and then we can establish as Commissioners what can help drive us to get there. Commissioner Newport asked about the future of the funding for VIG. Mr. Caldwell explained that due to the great work that volunteer centers have done under the leadership of Volunteer Centers of Michigan he believes that the funding will still be there. But the economic forces of the state budget makes it a possibility for elimination. It's going to be where if falls in the priorities. We know the Governor supports it. Mr. Caldwell feels there is a 50/50 chance for VIG. Commissioner Pardoe mentioned regarding Service-Learning that she would like to see the Commission more connected with the Youth Advisory Council (YAC). She suggested a possible presentation at our February meeting so that Commissioners tmderstand what they are doing. Mr. Caldwell gave more background on the Y AC and it's relationship under the Commission. He mentioned that he will have Angelia Salas or Jeanine Yard, who work with the council, invite them to the February meeting to do a presentation. Commissioner Pellegrino suggested that there needs to be more corporate support for Governor' s Service Awards and agreed to help get corporate sponsors. Commissioner Makki also greed to help with sponsorship for the dinner. It could be a great way to raise funds to support the Commission. Commissioner Pickard stated that this event is a great way to showcase corporate support for vohmteerism. Chairperson Mulhern stated that he will work with Kyle and the MCSC staff on making the goals a little clearer and trying to add some numbers where possible and will discuss it at the February 9 board meeting. 8 �IV. Executive Director's Report - Kyle Caldwell A. Mentor Michigan Paula Kaiser discussed Mentor Michigan and stated that it is an initiative led by the Governor and First Gentleman to work to ensure that all youth have ongoing relationships with stable, caring individuals. The PR tag line being used is "Mentor Michigan- awakening and nurturing the amazing potential in youth." The belief is that every child has a right to a caring adult; that everyone is responsible for the well-being of our children including organizations like businesses, colleges and universities, schools, non-profits, faith-based organizations; and volunteering is a significant way for people to enrich their lives by giving of themselves to children in their communities. The vision is a Michigan where all children are nurtured and supported and where all children grow into a caring and contributing adult. The MCSC is partnering with the Volunteer Centers of Michigan with the 1-800-Volunteer number. This will enable an adult or child to call that number and get connected to a mentoring organization. The MCSC is defining mentoring by using the National Mentoring Partnership's definition of"a structured and trusting relationship that brings young people together with caring individuals who offer guidance, support and encouragement aimed at developing the competence and character of the men tee." This information was shared at the six mentoring summits. There are four different kinds of men to ring including traditional (one adult/one child), peer mentoring (older child/younger child), group mentoring (1 adult/4 children), and e-mentoring. Some facts regarding mentoring include 1.2% of all adults are involved with formal one-to-one mentoring, mentors in formal programs are most frequently ages 18-44, they are employed and have some college education, and non-whites and white mentors are equal in formal programs. Mentoring data includes 2.5 million children are being mentored nationally, 17.6 million could benefit from having a mentor, so only 14% of the kids that need mentors have them. Ms. Kaiser gave an update of what Mentor Michigan has done in the last three months: held 6 mentoring summits that engaged more than 1,100 participants across the state; launched the Mentor Michigan website (www.michigan.gov/mentor); launched a listserv where people in the mentoring community can sign-up and then communicate with other mentoring programs across the state and it's a way for us to share information about funding opportunities or resources with them; collected information from more than 300 mentoring organizations through an on-line survey and are currently analyzing that data; modified the MCSC funding including AmeriCorps and VIG to include mentoring as a priority; and launched a lunch buddy program where 25 staff from the Governor's office and MCSC are serving as mentors once a week at a school in Lansing. Ms. Kaiser shared what was learned from the summits: there are lots of mentoring programs throughout the state; there is significant interest from 9 �schools; programs are thrilled that there will be a state level umbrella that will provide leadership around mentoring because what was found was that many of the programs are mentoring but without any support from any national or statewide organizations; programs are looking for resources and support (including financial); and many of the local programs are not connected and did not know about each other and were not communicating. The MCSC had a list of 10 priorities and asked the participants at the summits to prioritize them and choose three priorities. The top five were: 1. Identify and secure resources to support the development and sustainability of programs. 2. To recruit talented and committed volunteers. 3. How to develop statewide and local partnerships to support mentoring by engaging corporations, faith-based organizations, colleges and universities, and government. 4. Increasing public awareness about mentoring opportunities, needs and the positive outcome associated with it. 5. Providing training and support for mentoring programs. Ms. Kaiser explained what is next for Mentor Michigan. January is National Mentoring Month and the MCSC is working with the First Gentleman's staff and aPR firm in Detroit to have radio and television PSA's that are national PSA's but will be localized to include a spot from the Governor and First Gentleman. It will be available to all the media promoting the 1-800-Volunteer number and asking people to consider mentoring. There will also be 100 billboards across the state that were donated. The MCSC is also creating a communications toolkit for the Mentor Michigan website that programs can download. It will include sample press releases, two letters from the Governor that the programs can use, a list of activities that the program may want to plan locally for National Mentoring Month, and tips with working with the media. The MCSC will be compiling a fmal report from the six summits. Through a partnership with Mary Pfeiler at the Corporation, the ConnectMichigan Alliance will be the recipient of a statewide VISTA program where there will be 25 VISTA' s placed in teams of 3-5 people in 5-8 communities. The application guidelines will be announced in January, sites will be selected in March, and VISTA's will be up and in place by July. They will be working in the 5-8 communities and focusing on the five priorities that came out of the summits. One measure that will come from the program will be every one of the 25 VISTA's will be responsible for recruiting 100 new mentors. The MCSC is also developing an evaluation system to track the growth of mentors but also to push beyond just counting the number of mentors and helping develop a tool that will help local programs evaluate the impact of their programs. The MCSC will also develop and secure funds to support Mentor Michigan. As Kyle Caldwell noted earlier, there isn't any money right now to administer the program. There was some unspent training money that paid for the summits. Before we move forward 10 �with new plans for the next year it will have to be determined how to gamer new resources. Even developing an evaluation and tracking system is going to cost money because there is not an internal capacity to develop a system that will be sophisticated enough and useful for all programs. Fundraising will be a priority at the beginning of the year. Other areas of priority will include launching a monthly electronic men to ring newsletter that people on the listserv will be receiving on an ongoing basis; providing ongoing training and support for mentoring programs; hosting a series of discussions with various sectors including higher education, faith-based, government and corporations to get them involved and to focus on that partnership to get them engaged; develop a framework to take a look at corporate and other sector involvement; helping to co-host a meeting of 600 faith leaders in February where the Governor will be addressing ministers and Mentor Michigan will be one of three initiatives addressed; surveying state agencies to find out what they currently are doing to support mentoring and if they are funding it and then will work with them in other ways that they can support it; promoting the 1-800Volunteer number; promoting a website Mentoring.org where you can type in your zip code to find mentoring opportunities; and developing a statewide directory of mentoring organizations across the state which will be available on the website once it is finalized. The MCSC will be looking at the information from the six summits and will be developing and revising the business plan accordingly. Commissioner Thomas asked what kind of best-practices information will be offered to mentoring groups and what will be the partnership with FlA. Ms. Kaiser explained that there are some national elements of effective practice for mentoring that were developed by the national experts in mentoring and were introduced to the participants at the summits. In future trainings, information will be provided that will address some of those elements such as how do you screen appropriately. The MCSC will be pointing them to some of the national resources that are available that people are not aware of. Ms . Kaiser also addressed the partnership with FIA and how mentoring may be one of the programs offered through the A YP relationship with the schools. Commissioner Parker suggested that Commissioners participate during National Mentoring Month in local press events and also possibly doing radio interviews to promote mentoring. Commissioner Pickard asked what the goal for raising fimds for Mentor Michigan is. Paula Kaiser stated that it hasn't been determined. Commissioner Pickard was concerned about raising fimds for Governor's Service Awards and Mentor Michigan at the same time and whether we could combine the fimdraising efforts. Paula Kaiser answered by saying we could coordinate the efforts. The MCSC is starting to look at the 3-year plan for Mentor Michigan and what kind of resources II �need to be leveraged to support the plan. Who do we want to go to, because different from GSA, we may get support from a foundation to support broader administration things that we want to do. Commissioner Swain asked where the Governor appointed advisory council for Mentor Michigan stands. Ms. Kaiser stated that the Governor's office is soliciting names of those interested in serving on that advisory council. The thought is that it would be made up of practioners and experts in the mentoring field because the MCSC board will serve as the leadership board so the advisory council should be the eyes and ears to the ground in terms of those involved and that know a lot about mentoring. Mary Zatina stated that the advisory council may be announced in January but there has been a lot of discussion about what their role will be. Chairperson Mulhern thanked everyone for their help for the Mentoring Summits and the Commissioners that participated. He felt they were a tremendous success. 2. Service-Learning Diana Algra discussed the hearings of the Education Subcommittee on Service-Learning and Civic Education. She explained that each of the Commissioners were given a packet of information on the hearings. She stated that 47 speakers from the national, state, and local levels presented at the hearings around the state including some Commissioners. Members ofthe committee asked a lot of questions. There is a lot of excitement and interest generated by the hearings. The MCSC will continue to work with the subcommittee as Rep. Hart has some other ideas of convening additional groups for discussion including higher education, education associations, and superintendents. Kyle Caldwell thanked Diana Algra for her efforts with the hearings. Rep. Hart has asked Rep. Hopgood to continue the efforts because he is term limited. Rep Hart will also ask for the appointment of a blue ribbon committee to take up some ofthe information from the testimony and drive it further and to discuss the 10 key things needed to make service-learning and civic education work better. Diana Algra stated that Representative Doug Hart will be coming to the February board meeting to discuss some of the findings from the subcommittee hearings. Commissioner Mawby asked what the MCSC would like to come out of the hearings. Mr. Caldwell explained that the first goal was to get service learning on the radar of the legislators. The second goal was to take what we get from the experience and figure out what the field is saying they want and take it to whatever body wants to act. A concise list of recommendations were given at the last hearing by both Dan Mulhern and Dottie Johnson. What needs to happen is this needs to be recognized as a valid teaching methodology. 12 �.. Second, there needs to be some type of recognition given to the teachers that are doing it as a way of profiling and highlighting. At some point in the future resources are going to need to be devoted to this higher than what they are right now (currently there is $800,000 for service learning). And finally it needs a champion and leadership beyond the Commission and this is what the Governor is doing. B. Financial Report - Kyle Caldwell Mr. Caldwell discussed the financial statement dated December 1, 2003 that was distributed to the Commissioners. C. Staff Funding Recommendations - Kyle Caldwell 1. Learn and Serve Kyle Caldwell explained that there is a memo in the packet that outlines the staff recommendation for the Learn and Serve - Michigan Community-Based grant. The MCSC has $20,000 of remaining funds available after the renewal of the 8 community-based grantees. The staffhas made the recommendation that MSU 4H Extension receive the requested amount of $20,000 to continue to develop community-based organizational capacity to implement servicelearning. Chairman Mulhern requested a motion to approve the staff recommendations for the Learn and Serve- Michigan Community-Based grant. Commissioner Mawby moved to approve the recommendation and Commissioner Parker seconded the motion. The motion passed unanimously. 2. Volunteer Investment Grants Mr. Caldwell explained that the MCSC has $280,100 available and discussed the staff recommendations for the VIG funding which was outlined in the memo from Paula Kaiser dated December 5, 2003.

C. Outreach and Communications Committee The Commissioners received a report from the Committee dated December 5, 2003 . Mary Grill mentioned that each of the Commissioners has received a nomination form for the Governor's Service Awards. She also discussed the changes to the awards this year which includes six major awards and adding a new Governor's Volunteer Service Honor Roll. Ms. Grill asked Commissioners to participate as a peer reviewer for the GSA. The Commissioners also received a list of potential sponsors and Ms. Grill asked for their assistance in soliciting sponsors and making follow-up calls. Chairperson Mulhern asked that a policy for GSA fundraising be hammered out by February 9, 2004 meeting. 14 �.

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

In addition, Commissioners Pickard, O'Day, Pardoe, and Bensen met with Mary Grill and/or Kyle Caldwell to discuss Outreach activities. Govern or's Service Awards The focus of the Outreach Committee this quarter has been the 2004 Governor's Service Awards (GSA). Beginning with discussion at the Commissioner Retreat in September and continuing throughout the quarter a tremendous amount of progress has been made. With the commitment of Governor Granholm and First Gentleman Mulhern to host the recognition reception dinner, the Governor' s Service Awards will be the most prestigious statewide award event for Michigan's volunteers. The event is being held in Grand Rapids on Monday, May 24, 2004 in conjunction with the Volunteerism SuperConference. Based on feedback from the Outreach Committee, MCSC staff, and other partners, we have decided to honor five finalists (including the award winner) in six categories. The award winners and finalists will be selected by an objective peer review panel as they have been in the past. The 2004 categories are: • Governor George Romney Lifetime Achievement Award • • • • • Outstanding Mentor Award Outstanding Corporate Citizenship Award Exemplary Community Service Program Award Exemplary Volunteer Service Award Youth Volunteer Award ofExcellence �New in 2004, the Governor's Volunteer Service Honor Roll will also be announced at the GSA dinner. The Honor Roll members are GSA nominees that provide outstanding volunteer service, yet were not identifield as an award winner or finalist. The peer review panel will also select approximately 15-30 Honor Roll members. GSA Sponsors. It is goal of the Outreach Committee to have a $10,000 corporate sponsor for each of the six GSA categories. We are extremely pleased to announce that General Motors has made a $10,000 lead gift by sponsoring the George W. Romney Lifetime Achievement Award. Our sincere thanks to Commissioner Pickard for her and GM's commitment to Michigan's volunteers. In addition to securing the lead gift, Commissioner Pickard has agreed to chair the remaining fund raising efforts.

Organizations that advocate for service learning standards have worked tirelessly to organize lessons that support the key role of public education in our democracy, the preparation of knowledgeable leaders, and supporting future citizen participation in society for the common good.

Therefore, it is the policy of the State Board of Education to encourage public schools to integrate service learning components into the classroom learning environment. We accept that service learning lesson planning and integration into the classroom learning environment is an effort worthy of further replication, adoption and study. Teacher-tested, standards-based lessons and resources can provide high quality, student- friendly academic units of study directly aligned with the Michigan Curriculum Framework. Therefore, it is the policy of the State Board of Education that public schools research and utilize service learning as a powerful teaching method that can help to make learning exciting, meaningful, relevant, and lasting for all students. i i i i i ~ ~ i 1 I i j i 1 Ii ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ I ~ l We know that with the help of teachers, service learning lessons can promote new knowledge and understanding that will translate critical concepts in a structured age(over) t ~ ~ ~ ~ j j j ;~ ; i l i ~ ~ 1j ~ ~ ~ j ' /.1/I/..-#.W/I/I/I/I/.MVI/A"X.,./I/I/I/#/.W'"/I/.I'/I/I'/.I/#/I/~1'/I/#I/~I/.I.! r#/l/171/l/l/171/ l / l / l / l /l / l / l/...'/l/l/l'/..tiWI/I/I /I/1/I/.I XI/I/I /I/I/I/_.'/I/1"1/I..W/1/A''/I/I/I/.1/I/I/I/.I/I/I/I/...YIXI'/I/I/1 / I/I/I/I,WX... �.,.,/I/I/I/I/1/I/I/I/I/I/I/I/I/I/1/"""I/I/IW/I/I/I/I/I/I/""-'1/I/I/11~1"""-"1/1/I/I/IAtiT-I/IW/~.Ii'.lllhi"/I-;#;##..JIJT/I'I/II'/I#IIIWI·II'I/I/1/I;-II·~IIIIW~I'I;I.t;ttr,""(l/l;#/l/l/l/l/l/l.r.l/l/l, ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ;. i 1 ~ ~ i appropriate way to children as part of their education in democratic citizenship.

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

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

The MCSC requested that Michigan State University 4H Extension submit a renewal application for the remaining $20,000 to continue to develop community-based organizational capacity to implement service-learning. See the attached description for the specific details of the program proposal. The MCSC staff reviewed that application and makes the following recommendation: The staff recommends renewal funding at the requested amount for the following applicants: Legal Applicant Michigan State University 4H Extension Funding Re_guested $20,000 Funding Recommended $20,000 Total $20,000 $20,000 �Mich igan 's Volunteer Investment Grants For FY 04, the Michigan Community Service Commission (MCSC) has $280,100 available compared to last year's amount of $780,100 to support Michigan's Volunteer Investment Grants (VIG) . The reduction in the amount of funds available is a result ofthe state budget cuts. These grants are awarded to community-based organizations that serve as volunteer resource centers. VIG's are used to establish local endowment funds to support community volunteer activities in perpetuity. In October, the MCSC issued the Michigan's Volunteer Investment Grants application guidelines. All former and existing grantees received the guidelines. In addition, the MCSC sent a copy ofthe guidelines to all of the Community Foundations, United Ways, Volunteer Centers, and Michigan Campus Compact affiliates. The applications were due to the MCSC on November 14,2003. We received 19 applications requesting $710,816. The applications were peer reviewed on November 25, 2003. The peer reviewers recommended 13 ofthe applications for a total of $465,816. The staff reviewed the applications and is recommending 10 applications be funded in the amount of$280,100. The staff did not recommend Volunteer Center oflsabella County, Hillsdale County United Way, and the Lenawee United Way and Volunteer Center be funded based on the overall quality of their applications and the amount of funds available. In addition, the staff is recommending reduced funding for eight of the ten applicants. Staff did not recommend reducing funding for the two that requested the minimum amount of $20,000.

For the 2003 - 04 program year the MCSC plans to award approximately $230,000. The application guidelines were sent to all Intermediate Schools Districts in the state. These grants will help build regional professional development opportunities for teachers and administrators in the area of service-learning. The long-range goal of these grants is to establish five sustained regional networks that will support the development and implementation of sequential service-learning activities into the instructional methodology of school districts. The MCSC has established the following goals for the Learn and Serve - Michigan Intermediate School District/Higher Education Partnership: • • • The creation of five regional service-learning networks that will be composed of at least one Intermedia e School District (lSD) and an Institution of Higher Education that will be self-sustaining after grant funds are no longer available. The expansion of service-learning into schools not currently within the MCSC Learn and Serve grantee network. Special emphasis is being placed on schools identified as " The Children' s Action Network Priority Schools" (See Appendix for list of target schools) The regional ISD/Higher Education Partnership will conduct program evaluation to improve the efficacy of service-learning as a teaching methodology and as a strategy to �I .. _:;v;.. • ~ ,• ;\f -. ..:, : • ":.rO:: ;IJ _i.:;l" . -~~ -~·: ~I --i"t~~~:tr • .:. . .1! ~-.'q-.. . improve academic performance.

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

Funding Recommendations The members approved the staff recommendations for the Michigan Citizen Corps programs (see attached) and the wavier for the Volunteer Investment Grants intent to apply policy due to a mechanical error related to the submission by the Volunteer Center of Chippewa County. Policy Statement on AmeriCorps Mr. Caldwell shared a copy of the previously approved letter of the MCSC regarding AmeriCorps and its funding. The Congress activity demonstrated that the advocacy work might have been productive. The VA HUD bill passed out of the conference committee provided funding near the level the President requested and eliminated the harmful language related to the drastic match requirements and funding term limits. MCSC December Meeting The agenda for the December meeting will concentrate on five areas: A. Statutory functions including funding recommendations. B. Welcoming new commissioners and all members sharing on their mentoring expenences. C. Examining the basic (in very visual terms) scope and summary of the work of the MCSC. �D. Re-examining the vision and mission discussions of the September meeting along with the existing mission and vision of the MCSC. E. Give a summary of Mentor Michigan activities to date and discuss future including the creation of a business plan. Future Executive Committee Meeting The members agreed upon the meeting dates, but advised the staff that the April 9, 2004 date coincided with Good Friday. Staff will suggest another date. The meeting adjourned at 10:07 a.m. �November 5, 2003 Board ofDirectors American Association of State Service Commissions 1400 I Street NW Suite 560 Washington, D.C. 20005 Dear Colleagues, The North Central Cluster of State Service Commissions requests that the Board of the American Association of State Service Commissions (ASC) consider the following recommendations at its next meeting. We are grateful to ASC for carefully listening to the field to best represent us in conversations with the Board and Senior Management of the Corporation for National and Community Service (CNCS) and other appropriate entities on these issues. This is such an important time in the life of national service! While we need to move quickly to ensure a positive future, we worry that the national dialogue to date has focused too narrowly on changes that could harm what is working well at the state and local levels and may be missing changes at the federal level that could create the future we all desire--one where everyone that wants to serve as the opportunity to do so. As state commissions we have loved being part of the national experiment to create state entities that would serve as models of a "reinvented government". In this role we have been laboratories of innovation and have multiple success stories to tell that could be helpful to the current national dialogue. Our state commissions recognize that the issues are complex and that the stakes are high. Any of our states would be delighted to host a site visit, or offer any support necessary, to provide useful insight to achieve the best possible results for national service. �As CNCS grapples with important and complex issues, we respectfully offer the following recommendations: Issue Distributing Program Development & Training Resources (PDAT) Suggestions • • Distribute to states, allowing states to identify and use local providers to meet cross-stream training needs. Beyond a sufficient base level, resources for staffing and other support should be allocated proportionate to the number of all national service programs and members serving in the state Defining the most productive state/federal partnership • Devolve hands-on grant making and programming to state commissions, allowing CNCS to focus on streamlining processes, ensuring accounting of grant funds and managing an efficient structure. Determining State/Federal roles in funding innovative and new initiatives • Identify and compare examples of successful state and federal innovation initiatives against defmed criteria to determine the most effective approach. Integrating AmeriCorps, Senior Corps, VISTA, and Learn & Serve Programming • Equalize benefits and requirements for AmeriCorps and VISTA members. Design one application process for communities to be considered for any CNCS programming. Determining an adequate and fair distribution of administrative and operational resources to states and programs. • • • Increase the administrative dollars available to state commissions; recognizing the added value of the infrastructure that supports other service priorities such as Citizen Corps, Community Volunteering, and development of the entire fi eld ofnational service and volunteerism.

AmeriCorps is similar to a domestic Peace Corps. Programs are housed within nonprofit organizations, schools, and other agencies throughout our state. Each program sets its own goals to help meet local needs. • The AmeriCorps members are building houses, mentoring children, teaching conflict resolution, recruiting volunteers, and more. • In 2004, the 13 programs are engaging 197 members in a variety of activities focusing on the environment, education, public safety, and human needs.* • In 2003, each Michigan's AmeriCorps member recruited an average of 30 volunteers to help strengthen his or her community. AmeriCorps funding may be available for organizations in your community. Funding is usually granted in three-year cycles with renewal funding based upon successful completion of annual goals. Michigan's AmeriCorps grants traditionally average $250,000 each and require match funds. Do you know a potential AmeriCorps member? AmeriCorps members are dedicated individuals at least 17 years of age who want to make a difference in their community. Potential members can find out more about AmeriCorps by calling (800) 942-2677 or visiting www.americorps.org. They can find the Michigan programs by clicking on "AmeriCorps in Your State" and selecting Michigan. • This figure represents a 60 percent cut from the 2002-03 program year due to funding cuts at the federal level. �2003-2004 Michigan's AmeriCorps KALKASKA CRAWFORD OSCODA • • • • • • MISSAUKEE RJSCOM',10N MASON LAKE OSCEOLA CLARE GLADWIN NEWAYGO MECOSTA ISABELLA MIDLAND • • OCEANA • • • •• ••• • • •• •• • • • • •• • • KENT • Michigan'sAmeriCorps host site(s) are located in this county IOSCO GRATIOT MONTCALM • Michigan'sAmeriCorps member(s) are serving in this county OGEMAW 1 IONIA BARRY CASS CLINTON EATON KALAMAZOO CALHOUN ST. JOSEPH BRANCH INGHAM JACKSON HILLSDALE LENAWEE Updated: December 11, 2003 �MICHIGAN COMMUNilY SERVICE MICHIGAN'S AMERICORPS MEMBERS CHANGE LIVES COMMISSION What I Have Learned Through AmeriCorps by Robyn E. Hall, AmeriCorps Oakland AmeriCorps is amazing and an experience that everyone should have. The impact that it has on children is incredible. While they may not always remember my name, they know that I am there to help. The trust and confidence they have in me is overwhelming. They believe in me, and as a result, I have learned to believe in me, as well. I have learned that all things are possible, and that I can accomplish whatever I set out to achieve. Children seem to have a way about them that can brighten my day and remind me that one bad day isn't the end of the world. Through AmeriCorps, I have grown as a person. I have learned to become more independent and self-motivated. I have learned to find work to do, rather than wait around doing nothing. I have become more assertive and have learned to be a leader. I have learned to rise up to meet the challenges that present themselves. AmeriCorps has been a wonderful experience, and I can't wait to see what lay ahead for me. This poem that I wrote really sums it up: I have learned to give, and to smile, To believe in others, as well as myself. I have learned to be patient and listen, To care, to love and to laugh. I have learned that I can make a difference, One child at a time, I can change their world. And they can change mine. I have learned that not every day will go perfectly, And sometimes I will get stressed and frustrated. But I have learned that laughter can go a long way. I have learned more than I could ever explain, Except to say, I have learned to truly live. Robyn Hall is an Oakland University freshman and first year member with AmeriCorps Oakland. She is from Shelby Township and serves at Mark Twain Elementary School in Pontiac. AmeriCorps Oakland enrolls 40 part-time AmeriCorps members to assist the neighboring community of Pontiac meet their education goals. Members serve in Pontiac elementary schools tutoring students grades 1-3 to improve their reading and writing abilities. After school and throughout the summer, members provide education-based enrichment programs teaching children to enjoy science, math, and geography by designing activities and field trips where the children learn while having fun. In 2002, Oakland AmeriCorps members tutored 450 children and provided programs like conflict resolution, character education, and substance abuse prevention for 998 youth. �Success by Six Pleases Parents <: Below is an excerpt from a letter received by the Success by Six program coordinator. This family received home visiting parent education from AmeriCorps members. Dear Ms. Fairchild: Our son, Jakob, is almost three years old and has a 50% speech and language delay compounded with sensory problems. Like so many other parents, we were unable to take our son into the classroom because of our work schedules. Your program was the only way we could get our son the help he needed. You were able to meet with us at any time, day, or place. We have been working with two of the nicest women and they have played a big part in all of our son's milestones. He now has a much longer attention span and is more willing to cooperate and learn. He follows directions much better and is now able to complete many different learning activities. Not only have they helped our son learn how to communicate, they've helped us learn how to teach him. They offer help, advice, and support to families who have no idea what resources are available to them. We have received parenting skills training and attended workshops to learn a wide variety of activities that both stimulate and broaden children's learning ability. It was easy for us to attend the workshops because food and daycare is provided. I hope our son gets well enough not to need their services for much longer, but I'm comforted by the fact that they will still be here if he needs them. I just hope this program will be available for other parents and children who need the help, too. Thank you! Branch Intermediate School District's Success by Six Program enrolls ten full-time AmeriCorps members to provide child development and parent education for families with children prenatal to six years of age. Members are trained in two nationally recognized models: Parents As Teachers (PAT) and Healthy Families America (HFA). Members provide services that are child-centered, familyfocused, and are available to all families in Branch County. Members provide services to children and parents in the family's home and group settings. During the 2001-02 program year, Success by Six AmeriCorps members provided parent education to 129 families through home visits, served 375 parents through monthly group meetings, and offered 31 parent education classes on topics such as fire safety, budgeting, and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. �- MICHIGAN COMMUNITY SERVICE COMMISSION AMERICORPS RAMP PROJECT ACCOMPLISHES WHAT OTHERS COULDN'T When Kevin Mullins lost his leg and his job, he and his family were heartbroken. Kevin was hospitalized with a serious infection that culminated in the amputation of his leg. Thus began a nightmare of skyrocketing hospitalization costs, as the hospital would not allow Kevin to come home until an access ramp was installed. A ramp, which costs $5,000- $7,000 when built by a private contractor, was out of reach for the Mullins. Kevin began preparation to move to a nursing home. Kevin's wife, Colleen, contacted more than 50 agencies looking for help. Finally, she connected with the Community Builders Corps, an AmeriCorps program that builds ramps for individuals for the cost of materials-approximately $1,500. As the Mullins were already financially strapped, even this amount was too much. Kevin Mullins arrives home, thanks to the Community Builders Corps. The AmeriCorps members would not give up on Kevin. They asked local lumberyards for help. Brooks Lumber in Detroit offered the materials at their cost ($1,200), but the Mullins still could not pay that amount. They were discussing the situation in Kevin's hospital room one night when the patient in the next bed overheard their conversation. The patient called his son. The next day the son came to visit Kevin and offered to pay for the materials to build the ramp. Four days later, the ramp was completed and Kevin Mullins went home. Young Detroit Builders recently received a $176,419 grant from the Michigan Community Service Commission to continue the Community Builders Corps program in 2002-2003. This program enrolls 14 full-time AmeriCorps members to: • • • • Build at least 30 wheelchair ramps for disabled individuals Make adaptation improvements to the home of 40 low-income seniors or disabled persons Provide outdoor services (clean windows and gutters, rake leaves, pick up trash, etc.) for approximately 50 low-income, disabled individuals Respond to at least 30 requests from the Community Policing Office (see below) Community Builders Corps' newest partner is the Detroit's 4th Precinct Community Policing Office. This project helps people whose homes have been burglarized. Break-ins often result in a broken doorjamb or shattered windows, leaving the victims feeling vulnerable to another attack. AmeriCorps members are now on call to make repairs so families can remain in their homes with an increased sense of security. �- MICHIGAN COMMUNITY AMERICORPS MEMBERS BUILD HOPE SERVICE By Joshua Brugger COMMISSION As an AmeriCorps member, I learned valuable lessons about the importance of hope. I came to believe that every day it was my job to help people find hope-to coax it, to prod it, to bring it out of its hiding place and into the light. This past year, I was an AmeriCorps member with Lakeshore Habitat for Humanity in Holland. Working alongside many volunteers, I helped build a dozen simple and decent homes. These new homes brought hope to families. Sometimes the days were long and difficult. I spent days of 11, 12, and 13 hours painting and roofing in the hot summer sun. I also dug water line trenches through frozen earth in December to meet a New Year's Day deadline. One of my favorite memories of my AmeriCorps year was a project I did with the Boys and Girls Club of Greater Holland. I taught a woodworking class to teenagers. Classes included lessons in safety, learning about tools and materials, and the opportunity to build something. Something like a toolbox, birdhouse, or bug habitat. Now on one particular day, I thought that I'd really wow the kids. So, what did I do? I brought power tools with me! After receiving permission from the Boys and Girls Club, I came to class ready with a drill, a circular saw, and a 2x10 board that was 6 feet long. This was going to be a great class! A teen builds her own birdhouse as part of the BGCH/Habitat project. I had several students help me carry in all of the equipment. As they did, they paraded the power tools in front of their friends--eager to show that they were special because they got to carry the drill or the saw. Class began. Kids were lined up outside the door, peering through the windows, climbing over each other so they could see. Every seat was filled. Excitement was in the air. It was like being on the set of Tool Time. I laid that 2xl0 out on the table. Donned my safety glasses. Measured and strategically marked off the spot I would cut. As a trained member of Habitat for Humanity, I do know that a 7 %"titanium tipped plywood blade is terrific for cutting plywood or siding. But I don't know why I didn't remember that it doesn't work so well when cutting through a piece of #2 pine. After the smoke cleared, the kids and I all had a great laugh! I'll never forget that day. And I'll never forget the day four months later, when those same kids built a ramp for a 7-year-old boy with spina bifida. They learned a lesson about hope that day because they gave hope and happiness to that young boy and his family. So now I encourage everyone to plant hope. Hope makes change happen. It may not happen overnight. It may take years to grow. I believe the hope I planted during my year as an AmeriCorps member is still making a difference in the lives of the people in Holland today. �MICHIGAN COMMUNITY MICHIGAN'S AMERICORPS ROSTER SERVICE 2003-2004 COMMISSION $180,000 AMERICORPS OAKLAND Linda Barnes, Program Director Oakland University 156 West Vandenberg Hall Rochester, Michigan 48309 Phone: (248) 370-3216 Fax: (248) 370-4602 Email: barnes@oakland.edu Website: http://phoenix.placement.oakland.edu County(ies) Served: Oakland AmeriCorps Oakland enrolls 34 part-time AmeriCorps members to assist the neighboring community of Pontiac to meet their education goals.

Through service-learning, young people take what they learn and put it into action in the community. Service-learning is a way of teaching that connects learning with meaningful service to the community. A recent study of Michigan schools shows that 39 percent of public schools participate in service-learning, while 88 percent participate in general community service projects. Learn and Serve - Michigan is a grant program that supports schools and community organizations in providing service-learning opportunities during and after school. There are two types of Learn and Serve -Michigan grants: • • School-Based programs have their roots in the classroom. Teachers tie service-learning projects into the regular curriculum. These grants are given to K-12 schools. Community-Based programs are led by local nonprofit organizations. These organizations incorporate learning opportunities into service projects that take place during non-school hours. Nonprofit organizations are the recipients of these grants. Service-learning has been shown to: • • • Increase motivation to learn, Lower drop out rates, and Build critical thinking and problem solving skills. Learn and Serve- Michigan currently provides $881,496 to 34 school-based programs* and $100,000 to 9 community-based programs. Last year, these programs involved more than 36,000 students in service-learning activities throughout Michigan. *Includes CHESP Grant administered by Learning to Give/Council of Michigan Foundations and ISD/Higher Ed Grants. �2003-2004 Learn and Serve- Michigan KALKASKA CRAWFORD OSCODA • MISSAUKEE AClSCCitJMON OGEMAW CLARE MECOSTA ISABELLA MONTCALM • School-Based Program(s) • MIDLAND GRATIOT • • • • •• • • ••• •• • •• • • • KENT CLINTON IONIA • Community-Based Program(s) SHIAWASSEE OAKLAND BARRY + CHESP/ISD Partnerships EATON CALHOUN CASS BERRIEN ST. JOSEPH BRANCH INGHAM JACKSON HILLSDALE LIVINGSTON WASHTENAW WAYNE LENAWEE Updated: December 10,2003 �- MICHIGAN COMMUNITY SERVICE STUDENTS MOUNT CAMPAIGN AGAINST SECONDHAND SMOKE COMMISSION Students at ACE High School are concerned ... for themselves, their friends, and their families. Tobacco use is the single leading preventable cause of death in the United States. Although cigarette smoking nationwide among high school students is declining, approximately 80% of tobacco users begin smoking before the age of 18. Ifthis trend continues, approximately 5 million children living today will die prematurely because they began to smoke cigarettes during adolescence. What really got the attention of the ACE High School students were the effects of secondhand smoke. Research has shown that smoke from the smokers around them causes disease, including lung cancer, in healthy nonsmokers. Although they may make the decision not to smoke, they could still be at risk. Rather than sit around and complain, they decided to do something. Led by juniors Shaun Bryan and Nicole Mangan, and senior Amanda Bjorkman, the students developed and produced media materials educating Iron County citizens on the problems of secondhand smoke. You Have a Choice, They Don't Effects of Second Hand Smoke was developed as part of an academic servicelearning project for their Communication Arts class. The media campaign included a You Have The Choice, They Don't was the message of the ACE High School media campaign in Iron County. billboard, exhibit boards, radio spots, and place mats for local restaurants. Students chose the topic of second hand smoke. They did research to determine the best media outlets to use in their community. They wrote the message and formulated the layouts. They evaluated their project when it was completed. Not only did the students learn about secondhand smoke and how to put together a media campaign-they were rewarded for their efforts. The Michigan Cancer Consortium awarded ACE the Spirit of Cooperation Award for their outstanding work in the Upper Peninsula. ACE High School is part of the West Iron County Public Schools. The Michigan Community Service Commission recently awarded them a $33,250 Learn and Serve- Michigan grant to expand their service-learning activities. They are one of 36 school-based programs that receive funding through Learn and Serve - Michigan. �MICHIGAN Zlfliiillll COMMUNITY SERVICE VETERANS ARE TOUCHED BY CHILDREN'S INTEREST COMMISSION "The Veterans' Reception was a great way to bring two vastly separated generations together," said Ron DeWaard. "It makes up for so many times when older people and younger people purposely avoid each other because they think they have no common ground." Vietnam Veteran Ron DeWaard and his wife Linda, along with more than 100 other veterans and their wives recently attended the first annual Veterans' Reception hosted by members of the Boys and Girls Club of Greater Holland (BGCH). The reception, honoring veterans for service to our country, included a tour of the Boys and Girls Club, a dinner, and a program of speeches by both youth and veterans. Ron and Linda were touched by the expression of kindness on the part of the 85 Holland youth involved. A Holland youth and local veterans meet for the The reception was the culmination of a year of first time at the Veterans Reception. correspondence between club members and veterans. Letters, holiday cards, valentines, and photographs were exchanged. A club member from the 5th grade had the greatest response from her veteran. After her first letter, she received a large package. It contained an extensive letter in which the veteran answered all her questions and included a book and pictures of the ship that he served on while in the Navy. In addition to giving students a window into the lives of veterans, the year-long project gave them opportunities to practice letterwriting and computer skills. The program was not directly designed to bring homeland security into the lives of the youth and the community. An exciting, but unexpected outcome was the level of awareness gained by the youth about what it means to serve your country and be part of a nation and community. Equally exciting was how touched the veterans were by the interest of the children. "Acts of kindness are always rewarded," shared Army veteran, Bruce Glass. A lifetime member of VFW Post 2144 and former member of the 352nd Communication Reconnaissance Company, Mr. Glass served in the Korean War. He told the club members, "Your kindness toward old soldiers, Marines, sailors, and airmen will not be forgotten. We salute you." Students in this program also • Planned with community leaders and decorated the parade route for the Veterans' Day and Memorial Day parades • Cleaned up and prepared equipment for storage after parades • Researched the wars which veterans corresponded about This service-learning project is part of the Learn and Serve- Michigan program at the Boys and Girls Club of Greater Holland. The Michigan Community Service Commission recently approved a $12,611 grant so this service-learning program can continue throughout the 2002-2003-program year. The BGCH service-learning program will engage at least 175 students in the upcoming year. The BGCH practice of service-learning is expanding throughout their youth serving programs. �MICHIGAN COMMUNITY SERVICE YOUNG VOLUNTEER REACHES OUT TO SENIORS COMMISSION "A knock on the door and a man saying 'Follow me,' and the next thing I knew we were being evacuated," said Joyce Mallory, a resident of Courthouse Square Apartments in Ann Arbor. On a hot July evening, seventy residents got a helping hand from the American Red Cross, when a fire in the elevator shaft forced them to evacuate their apartments. Coordinating with the University of Michigan, Red Cross staff and volunteers arranged for residents of the downtown assisted living facility to be bussed to temporary housing at a local hotel. Complications in repairing the problem at Courthouse Square turned the one-night stay into four nights. The residents were concerned about their apartments, pets needed care, and many seniors needed to replenish medications left behind in their hasty exit. Working with the Ann Arbor Transportation Authority and other community agencies, the Residents from Courthouse Square receive Red Cross Red Cross team turned a potentially traumatic assistance during their crisis. few days into "an adventure," as resident Elizabeth Galvan called it. Daily shuttles were scheduled for residents, meals were served, and medical assistance provided. Happy to be on her way back home after the crisis, Joyce said she thought the Red Cross volunteers were wonderful. "Without the Red Cross, we'd have been lost," she said. One of the volunteers who helped with the evacuation and sheltering was 17-year-old Deondre Richmond. Deondre became a volunteer through the Red Cross Youth Community Action Team (YCAT). He had only recently completed his orientation when he was called into action. Working alongside experienced team members, Deondre provided information, food, and a listening ear to the seniors. During the five days of the crisis, he volunteered a total of 59 hours. He combined his training with common sense and youthful energy to do anything he could. Although public recognition is not important to him, Deondre received a Certificate of Appreciation from the Red Cross Emergency Services Department. YCAT engages 80 youth between the ages of 12 and 17 in a variety of service-learning activities that are mainly focused on peer education. Youth volunteers first complete First Aid and CPR training. Then they choose an interest area such as Community Disaster, Water Safety, or Pet First Aid for their next level of training. The young people utilize their training to assist their peers and to volunteer for Red Cross projects throughout the community. The Michigan Community Service Commission recently awarded the Red Cross a $15,000 Learn and Serve- Michigan communitybased grant for the YCAT program. �MICHIGAN LEARN AND SERVE -MICHIGAN SCHOOL-BASED COMMUNilY ROSTER SERVICE ····································---······· ...... - COMMISSION Implementation Grant - $22,885 BEDFORD PUBLIC SCHOOLS Sharon Throm Community Education Department 1623 West Stems Road Temperance, Michigan 48182 Phone: (734)850-6034 Fax: (734) 850-6099 Email: throms@bedford.k12.mi.us Bedford Public Schools is working to give students and teachers the opportunity to connect what they are learning in the classroom to the community in which they live through participation in service-learning.

After juggling work, family, friends, and hobbies, finding a cause or organization to volunteer with can be difficult. To address this need, communities have been creating local collaborations to help volunteers find their perfect fit. These collaborations and organizations are often called "volunteer resource centers." Volunteer resource centers work closely with the organizations in their communities to recruit, train, place, manage, and recognize volunteers. These services require resources and support. The Michigan Community Service Commission (MCSC) recognizes the value of helping communities support volunteers. In the 2003-04 program year, more than $280,000 of state funding is provided to local volunteer resource centers and other volunteer collaborations through Michigan's Volunteer Investment Grants (VIG). These competitive awards range from $20,000 to $50,000 each year. The funds are used to help communities create local endowments that support volunteer resource centers and related activities. A $1 to $1 match is required. Since its inception in 1998, VIG has leveraged $6 million in local resources. Currently, the MCSC has awarded $280,100 in VIG funds to 10 volunteer resource centers.

Dakota is a "Little" and Michael is a "Big." They are part of the Big Brothers Big Sisters program serving Brandywine, Buchanan, and Niles schools in southwest Michigan. The one-on-one time Michael and Dakota spend together is important for both of them. Michael gets to serve as a role model for a youngster without a father-something he wishes someone had done for him when he was growing up. He has fun spending time with Dakota just doing regular things. "It's not about going somewhere, doing something, and spending money," said Welsh. "It's about talking, listening, and encouraging." Dakota has a lot of fun, too. But more importantly, he has a male to talk with about growing up. Someone to pat him on the back when he gets a good report card; someone to help him shape his future. When Michael was a first-year teacher at Buchanan's Moccasin Elementary School, Kathryn Rossow of the Volunteer Center of Southwest Michigan recruited him as a volunteer. She knew of the shortage of male mentors at Big Brothers Big Sisters. Michael didn't enter into this commitment lightly. He didn't want to let down a child that may have already had many let downs in his life. But finally, he put the analysis aside and became a Big Brother. And now he encourages other adults to get involved in the lives of youth. "Sometimes we get too caught up in analyzing today's youth and what's wrong with them," he said. "What we need to do is invest our time in them now. It will pay off in the long run." The Volunteer Center of Southwest Michigan recently received $60,000 through Michigan's Volunteer Investment Grants. With this support, the Volunteer Center coordinates the Mentoring Round Table serving Berrien, Cass, and Van Buren counties. The Mentoring Round Table coordinates the efforts of more than ten organizations that have youth mento ring programs. In 2002, the Volunteer Center placed 2,234 volunteers of all kinds in 24 7 organizations in southwest Michigan. �MICHIGAN :l!ICH/GAN:s· I VOLl.WTEER COMMUNITY SERVICE COMMiSSION JNVJ:.'STMBVT GRA!'iTS JACKSON COUNTY: A COMMUNITY OF VOLUNTEERS Jackson County residents all agree that they live in one of the most giving communities around.

How old are they? What business was originally in them? If buildings could talk, the stories they could tell! Meet Elsie McNiel of Greenville, who has been volunteering at the Flat River Historical Museum for more than 30 years. Elsie has a phenomenal mind full of historical information concerning the early homes, businesses, and organizations in the Greenville area. She keeps track of businesses and organizations that are coming and going, all without any compensation and certainly without any fanfare. She has volunteered over 23,400 hours. That equals 2,925 eight-hour days, or better than 11 years of fulltime work! Elsie became interested in the museum after moving from Detroit Elsie McNiel to Greenville in 1968. The museum was within walking distance from the home she lived in with her husband and two children. She joined the Greenville Historical Society that same year and began volunteering at the Museum when it opened in 1972. "Elsie has been our true north, our compass at the museum," said Linda Collins, museum president. "I wish every community had a volunteer just like her." Elsie maintains a low profile--quiet, attentive, and soft-spoken. If she doesn't have the answer to a question she is asked, she will find it for you. Her dedication and perseverance for the history of Greenville are her gifts to the community. When asked why she enjoys volunteering, she smiled and said, "It's a sense of accomplishment. As a volunteer you are doing something for somebody else besides yourself. And it's better than watching television." Elsie is one of many volunteers at the Flat River Historical Museum, an organization that relies heavily on volunteers to meet its mission. Many of the volunteers find their way to the Museum through Volunteer Connections of Montcalm County. This volunteer resource center annually places approximately 330 volunteers in more than 30 organizations throughout Montcalm County. Their services go beyond recruitment and placement of volunteers. They also help train, manage, and recognize volunteers-all critical elements of successful volunteer programs. Volunteer Connections of Montcalm County recently received a $25,000 Volunteer Investment Grant (VIG) from the Michigan Community Service Commission.

To capture this spirit and to foster an American culture of service, citizenship, and responsibility, President Bush is calling upon all Americans to dedicate at least two years of their lives-the equivalent of 4,000 hours-in service to others. He launched the USA Freedom Corps initiative to inspire and enable all Americans to find ways to serve. The Michigan Citizen Corps was established in April2002 in response to President Bush's call to action and because experience shows that volunteerism is a viable means for solving community challenges. Citizen Corps are a component of the USA Freedom Corps that creates opportunities for individuals to volunteer to help their communities prepare for and respond to emergencies. It brings together local leaders, individual volunteers, and the network of first responder organizations such as police departments, fire departments, and emergency medical personnel. The goal is to have all citizens participate in making their communities safer, stronger, and better prepared for preventing and handling threats of terrorism, crime, and disasters of all kinds. Programs of the Michigan Citizen Corps include: • • • • • Community Emergency Response Teams Neighborhood Watch Programs Volunteers in Police Service Medical Reserve Corps Citizen Corps Councils The Michigan Citizen Corps Council was established in November 2002. This 12-member council serves as an advisory committee of the MCSC and provides direction on issues related to homeland security and the role volunteers can play in disaster preparedness. The Michigan Citizen Corps Council will: • • • • Submit a state plan for homeland security through volunteerism to the Governor. Support the development and coordination of local Citizen Corps Councils throughout Michigan. Broker federal, state, and local resources for local volunteer Citizen Corps initiatives. Coordinate with the Michigan State Police Emergency Management Division and the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) to enact the state plan and channel federal resources for training and technical assistance. The Michigan Citizen Corps granted $356,000 in 2003 to help communities coordinate volunteers to prepare for and respond to local emergencies.

Senior Volunteer Programs are a win-win combination serving Michigan. �.. Senior Volunteer Service Programs of Michigan All three Senior Volunteer Programs of Michigan provide a great "two-for-one" value to Michigan, providing benefits to the individuals and organizations served by the volunteers and providing benefits to the older adult volunteers themselves. These three progtams - Foster Grandparent Program, Retired & Senior Volunteer Program, and Senior Companion Program - work in strong collaborative relationships with local schools, nonprofit service organizations, and public agencies to enhance and expand the quality of services provided to Michigan communities. Senior Volunteers fmd benefits to their own mental and physical health in providing assistance and service to others. Foster Grandparents are low-income older persons who spend significant hours every week providing personal attention and special help to children in schools, hospitals, juvenile detention facilities, day care centers, and private homes. The Foster Grandparent Program works in a collaborative relationship with schools, nonprofit organizations, and public agencies to address the needs of abused and neglected children, troubled teens, premature infants, and children with physical disabilities. A large percentage of Grandparents statewide work in elementary schools to help children succeed academically. The Foster Grandparent Program provides a great "two-forone" value to Michigan, serving two vulnerable populations: providing benefits to the lowincome Grandparents and benefits to the children they serve. Senior Companions are low-income older adults who spend significant hours every week providing personal attention and assistance to adults with temporary or permanent disabilities or the thousands of frail or homebound seniors who need help completing everyday tasks so they can remain independent in their own homes. The Senior Companion Program serves two vulnerable populations at once: providing benefits to the low-income Companions themselves and benefits to the adults who receive service from the Companions. Companions assist with grocery shopping, transportation to medical appointments, and provide socialization and companionship for many other older adults with Alzheimer' s disease, mental illness, developmental disabilities or other conditions which can make them isolated from the community. By providing short periods of respite for family caregivers, Senior Companions help these caregivers to continue their home care situation and avoid costly institutionalization of their loved ones. The Retired & Senior Volunteer Program mobilizes men and women over the age 55 or older to serve community needs, stay active, and explore new interests. RSVP works in a collaborative relationship with schools, nonprofit organizations, and public agencies to enhance and expand the services they provide. RSVP is a great "two-for-one" value to Michigan, providing benefits to the individuals and organizations served by RSVP and benefits to the RSVP members themselves. About 50% of Michigan's RSVP volunteers serve the needs of older adults in their homes, communities, or nursing homes. RSVP volunteers also help children learn to read, help test drinking water for contaminants, provide transportation to medical appointments for hundreds of other seniors throughout Michigan, serve as mentors for young people, teach English to immigrants, and lend their skills to a wide variety of social service agencies delivering important community services. Everyone wins when Senior Volunteers deliver service to Michigan communities.

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

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

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

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

GRANHOLM, Governor MICHIGAN COMMUNITY SERVICE COMMISSION 1048 Pierpont, Suite 4 Lansing, Michigan 48913 Telephone: 517.335.4295 FAX: 517.373.4977 www.michigan.gov/mcsc Chairperson Daniel G. Mulhern Executive Director Kyle Caldwell MEMORANDUM TO: Members of the Michigan Community Servif~t:'mmission Executive Committee FROM: Kyle CaldweU, Executive Director I~ DATE: January 23,2004 RE: Summary of January 23,2004 Meeting The following is a summary ofthe meeting of the Michigan Community Service Commission Executive Committee held via conference call on January 23, 2004. The meeting was called to order at 10:09 a.m. Members present: Daniel Mulhern, Chair; Robert A.Collier, Vice Chair; Russell G. Mawby, and Meg Smith. Staff present: Kyle Caldwell, Mary Zatina, Janice Harvey. Update on Mentor Michigan Mr. Caldwell mentioned that January is National Mentoring Month and what the MCSC was doing to promote Mentor Michigan. He discussed the "Thank Your Mentor" Press Conference with Governor Granholm and First Gentleman Dan Mulhern on January 15. He also discussed other methods of promoting National Mentoring Month including billboards that will be going up around the state and Op-Eds from Commissioners to their local newspapers. The business plan for Mentor Michigan is being crafted and will be discussed at the February MCSC board meeting. Chair Mulhern mentioned that there are PSA's that he and the Governor participated in that are airing and that he has been doing radio interviews to promoting mentoring. He also mentioned that the goal was to have 1500 hits on the MentorMichigan.org website and that we are close to attaining that goal. Commissioner Mawby mentioned that the ads looked great and that the challenge will be to keep mentoring going all year. Chair Mulhern stated that February is Black History Month and his office will be working with the Mayor of Detroit to promote mentoring during the month. Mr. Caldwell announced that Suzanne Geha, WOOD-TV 8 in Grand Rapids, has agreed to serve as emcee for the Governor's Service Awards and will do a media push during May �focusing on mentoring and the Governor's Service Awards. There will also be a category this year focusing on mentoring. Review of Goals for 2004 Mr. Caldwell explained that there will be an additional piece added to the AmeriCorps goals for this year that will focus on quality. There will be added emphasis on what we define as best programs and what quality means. February 9, 2004 Meeting Agenda The members discussed the agenda. Mr. Caldwell mentioned that the Outreach Committee will be highlighting the commitments from sponsors of $20,000 for the GSA. He also stated that six Commissioners are making calls to add additional sponsors. It was discussed at the December board meeting to possibly combine the fundraising efforts for GSA with Mentor Michigan. The Executive Committee members agreed that it would be more effective to keep the fundraising efforts separate. Mr. Caldwell stated that he is waiting for confirmation that David Eisner, CEO of CNCS, will speak during the Volunteer SuperConference. If he does confirm, Mr. Caldwell would like to invite him to participate in a roundtable with Commissioners and site visits. It was clarified that the accomplishment of Eisner's visit to Michigan would be a better understanding of where the field stands, Michigan's deep roots in philanthropy, contacts to Michigan to use as a touchstone, and reinforce the importance of state commissions. Chair Mawby mentioned that it would be effective to have an AmeriCorps program present during the conversation. The members also discussed the President's mention of mentoring in his State of the Union and how we can tie that in with Michigan. The February 9, 2004 meeting agenda was approved. Approval ofstaff recommendation of Michigan Campus Compact AmeriCorps Proposal (Education Award Only) Mr. Caldwell gave background on the proposal and explained that this funding is different than the other funding of AmeriCorps programs. This funding will be for the education award only and usually goes to organizations that don't need the admin or stipend. The CNCS has some additional education awards available. The education only awards are a big advantage for MCSC as it helps our portfolio. See attached memo for outline of awards. Commissioner Mawby moved to approve the staff recommendations of Michigan Campus Compact AmeriCorps Proposal. Commissioner Collier seconded the motion. -The motion passed unanimously. Future Executive Committee Meeting Dates Mr. Caldwell explained that an additional Executive Committee meeting was added on March 17 at 10:00 am to approve funding for AmeriCorps and Citizen Corps The meeting was adjourned at 10:38 a.m. �STATE OF MICHIGAN JENNIFER M. GRANHOLM, Governor MICHIGAN COMMUNITY SERVICE COMMISSION Chairperson Daniel G. Mulhern 1048 Pierpont, Suite 4 Lansing, Michigan 48913 Phone: (517) 335-4295 Fax: (517) 272-4977 www.michigan.gov/mcsc Executive Director Kyle Caldwell MEMORANDUM TO: Members of the Michigan Community Service Commission Executive Committee FROM: Kyle Caldwell, Executive Director ~ (/" tJl__ DATE: January 20, 2004 RE: Staff Recommendations for AmeriCorps Funding (Education Award Only Grant) Recommendation The Michigan Community Service Commission (MCSC) staff recommends provisional approval of the Michigan Campus Compact (MCC) AmeriCorps Education Award Only program for 300 minimum-time members (serving 300 hours each per year) and a total of $24,000 in operation costs. Applicant Members and Hours Michigan Campus Compact 300 @ 300 hrs. /year Total Value 300 members Full-time Equivalent (FfE) 60 Amount of Grant Educational Awards $400 x 60 FTE 300@ $1,000 each $24,000 $300,000* (1 FTE= 5 minimwn-time members) 60FfE * Education Awards are administered directly by the CNCS with the individual members. The MCSC would not be responsible for the administration of these awards. Summary The staff received an application for an AmeriCorps Education Award Only program from the MCC to engage 300 minimum-time (300 hours) members (60 full-time equivalent), year around, to provide services to youth state wide. The Education Award Only programs differ from our other AmeriCorps programs in that the applicant underwrites the costs of operating the program �(with the exception of a $400/FTE allotment), and in exchange the Corporation for National and Community Service will provide the Education Award to the members who have served. As a program of the MCC, college students at the organization's member campuses will be enrolled and supervised through campus service offices and partner community organizations. Campuses will participate in a competitive application process to receive members, and place them in local partner community organizations to complete their service. Members will mainly be comprised of those students who qualify for Federal Work Study, thus encouraging each university to lend increased support to meet local community needs. In addition, a large component of each member' s development will focus on increasing their understanding of civic engagement and effective citizenship, by incorporating training and discussion on related topics into the program's member development plan. While at their service sites, members will engage youth in activities such as mentoring in order to increase youth socialization, self-esteem and confidence. Members will also recruit at least 10 community volunteers each in support of program activities, leveraging a total of 3,000 additional community volunteers. The MCSC staffbelieves that the proposal is sound and would prove competitive. Therefore staff requests provisional funding to proceed with the submission of the application to the Corporation for National and Community Service so that the MCC may address the following: 1. Narrowing and identifying the specific community needs the members will address through their service. 2. More clarity on how MCC will identify sites and incorporate them in the overall monitoring/evaluation plan the MCC will use to measure impact. 3. More specificity on outcome measures for the program. Education Award Only programs have three submission dates: February 3, 2004, May 11, 2004, and November 2, 2004. This application would be slated for a February 3rd submission. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

The Committee received imponant insights on issues facing our public education system. We also were able to garner a number of key suggestions that may enhance and support the work of our educators. It is clear that there are a number of challenges and opportUnities that everyone can address. In this document you will find helpful insight into the civic education of our youth and the potential for service learning to help increase the quality of learning in our classrooms and our communities. This dialogue is important as we see that there are three powerful forces-accountability for results, fmancial constraints and public relevance-challenging our K-12 public education system. Each has an important role to play in the development of our nation's future citizenry. They force each of us to consider the role of education in our lives and those of our children. Students and parents need to know that knowledge is absorbed and integrated so that they can make good decisions based on imponant principles. The participants in our public education system must act responsibly to ensure that they remain good stewards of the funds entrusted to them to educate our children. Finally, the purpose of our public education system must be constantly reinforced and supported in order to develop an informed and engaged citizenry. This is the primary system by which we ensure the integrity and strength of our democracy. The question we now face is whether we are effectively meeting the charge of that public education purpose. There is significant debate on this question, as you will see in this summary. There is also a powerful set of recommendations that will .help each of us detennine how best to address all the aforementioned challenges. Civic education is our best defense against a disengaged citizen who doesn't vote and does not value a life of public service. Our children must learn at an early age that engagement in their community is important and that there are key activities and systems they can use to address local challenges. Service learning take the key academic goals and makes them real for srudents by using service as a hands on strategy to demonstrate relevance and the role of an individual to care for and about their community. Combined, civic education and service learning serve as powerful forces to enhance learning and develop our nation's leaders. �I hope you find this summary helpful as we all work together to help our children learn and grow in a strong and vibrant society. I would like to thank Representative Brian Palmer, Chair of the House Education Committee, for appointing our subcomnrlnee and lending his leadership and suppon to our work. I would also like to thank my colleagues-Representatives Stahl, Vander Veen. Clack, Hopgood-for their participation and support. For the KIDS! esentanve Doug Chair, House Education Subcommittee on Service Learning and Civic Education �State of Civic Education and Service Learning in Michigan Summary of Statewide Hearings of the Michigan House Subcommittee on Service-Learning and Civic Education During the past four years, the field of education in general and K-12 specifically, has focused on the core purposes of our nation's public education system. You can find this dialogue in the publication of a number of studies and reports addressing the need for and impact of service-learning and civic education. Three of these studies have had a direct impact on both service-learning and civic education including: • Every Student A Citizen: Creating the Democratic Self, issued by the Education Commission of the States • Learning in Deed: The Power of Service-Learning for American Schools, issued by the National Commission on Service-Learning • The Civic Mission of Schools, a report from the Carnegie Corporation of New York and the Center for Information & Research on Civic Learning & Engagement (CIRCLE) Each of these studies documents the strategies and benefits of service-learning and civic education. With these documents as a foundation, Michigan State Representative Doug Hart requested and was granted the Subcommittee on Service-Learning and Civic Education. This five-member committee 1called upon the Michigan Community Service Commission (MCSC) to assist in gathering input on how these two issues are impacting Michigan schools and its students. The MCSC undertook the task of convening six hearings throughout the state and sought testimony from national, state and local experts in these fields . In all, 47 individuals2 testified before the members of the Subcommittee. The following is a summary of the key recommendations made during the hearings. Overall, the recommendations can be categorized into the following seven major themes: 1. Include the social studies in the MERIT award and promote the importance of the social studies MEAP. 2. Every effort should be made to utilize existing resources and partnerships that have a long track record of results. 3. Every effort must be made to support public education. Do not cut school budgets. Stress the need for efficient use of available resources. 1 2 See Appendix 1 for list of Subcommittee members. See Appendix 2 for the list of speakers. �4. Call on the U.S. Congress to do more to provide states with greater resources to improve and expand service-learning. 5. Invest in sound, rigorous research that will advance service-learning statewide as well as nationally. 6. Provide additional funds to support teachers' professional development so that they can embrace new ideas that will promote service-learning and civic education. 7. Create and support meaningful decision making roles for youth in servicelearning initiatives at every level. Testimony Related to Recommendations 1. Include the social studies in the MERIT award and promote the importance of the social studies MEAP. Karen Todorov, Social Studies Consultant-Michigan Department of Education We need your support and the action of the Michigan legislature to appropriate professional development funds to aid organizations that are working to promote engaged civic education. We need the support of the Michigan Legislature to include the social studies in the MERIT award and to promote the importance of the social studies MEAP. Including the social studies in MERIT is logical and would help support the teaching and learning of civic issues in high school. Linda Start, Executive Director-Center for Civic Education through Law Continue the support for the Michigan Core Academic Curriculum and MEAP testing. Instead of initiating any new requirements, revisit the pertinent standards, if necessary. If there is going to continue to be a merit scholarship, make sure that social studies is included with the other subjects. Thomas Costello, Social Studies Teacher-Longfellow Middle School Teaching Civics Education is critical to forming the bases of an informed public able to function and contribute in a changing world. (Michigan) House Bill 4170 would include Social Studies in the MEAP Merit Scholarship. Support of this legislation would send the message that Social Studies including Civics Education are important for our students, parents, educators, and citizens ofthe State ofMichigan. 2 �Michael Yocum, Director of Learning Services-Oakland Schools Recommend continuing support for the inclusion of social studies in the Michigan Core Academic Curriculum and MEAP testing. Due to the No Child Left Behind legislation there is significant work being done in mathematics and language arts to give more careful and clearer definition to the expectations for students in the Michigan Curriculum Framework. This work needs to occur in social studies so that the standard will be more useful to schools and will continue to serve as the linchpin for efforts intended to support civic education Include the social studies in the Merit Award program. The exclusion of it sends a powerful message to students, teachers, schools and the public about what is important in the education of our young people. Jerry F. Givan, Social Studies Teacher-Young Magnet Middle School The MEAP test, not the ACT should be the vehicle used to measure proficiency ofMichigan's students. Continue your support of the HB 4170 and support for adding social studies to the Merit Award. Heather Reid, Teacher- Loy Norrix High School My recommendations are that we value social studies and civic education. Make it a priority that ifthere is testing- social studies are included. lfthere is a Merit Award-social studies are included. Other General Recommendations Continue the support for the Michigan Core Academic Curriculum and MEAP testing. Instead of initiating any new requirements, revisit the pertinent standards, if necessary. National Scene Education Commission of the States, "Every Student A Citizen: Creating the Democratic Self" "Include social studies, civics and government courses, stories and lessons that teach the traditions of how ordinary citizens have created real and lasting social change." John Glenn and Leslie Hergert, Letters to the Next President First, we must explicitly embrace civic education as an essential purpose of education. We must go back to our roots. 3 �The Civic Mission of Schools, A report from the Carnegie Corporation ofNew York and CIRCLE: The Center for Information and Research on Civic Learning and Engagement Standards should be implemented for civic education. This can be done by 1) more frequently offering the National Assessment of Educational Progress's (NAEP) Civics Assessment, in states as well as nationally, and/or 2) reexamining existing state social studies and civic education standards with a goal of ensuring that the promising approaches and goals of civic education outlined in this report are realized by the establishment of supportive standards and curricular policies. 2. Every effort should be made to utilize existing resources and partnerships that have a long track record of results. Russ Mawby, Chair Emeritus and Trustee WK. Kellogg Foundation We seek your (Legislatures) support in driving Learning To Give deep into our education system. It is a win-win opportunity for teachers to access free, interactive, and proven learning tools while addressing the learning goals of our K-12 education system. It is also a natural fit for fme public servants like you, to promote this tool as a way of weaving a stronger civic community fabric through our education system - one of the original purposes of our public system. Nelda Brown, Executive Director- State Education Agency K-12 Service-Learning Network Learn from the success and challenges of others. Do not overlook the great examples of "State-Level Leadership At Work" right in your own backyard. The Michigan Community Service Commission's investment in conducting scientifically based research and evaluation will no doubt advance service-learning statewide as well as nationally. Adrian Davis, National Consultant-National Board for Professional Teaching Standards Legislatures must ensure that all schools develop networks that consist of other community organizations so kids are exposed to the complex array of government, private, and nonprofit entities that make up our society. 4 �Through the Michigan Core Academic Curriculum and establishing networks all districts should be encouraged to incorporate civic education and service-learning into the daily activities of all students. Dottie Johnson, Board Member- Corporation for National and Community Service and Trustee, WK. Kellogg Foundation Work with school boards and parent-teacher organizations to make civics education a priority. Math, reading, and science are important. .. but they are not more important than retaining our way of life. Provide stable funding for core operating expenses for key student development organizations and educational opportunities within school and after school. Fundraising should still occur, but only government can provide the stable infrastructure of funding to key organizations. Stable funding is the literal investment that says: "Educating students for citizenship is important to democracy"- more than lip service, --money on the table. Provide a politically neutral place for all interested stakeholders to come together, to bring resources, to attain a common vision for Michigan students. Bill Dimond, Kalamazoo Sunrise Rotary Club I encourage you to engage the business community and service organizations such as Rotary International. Other General Recommendations Work with school boards and parent-teacher organizations to make civics education a priority. Support the work of the Michigan Community Service Commission as their work supports the implementation of service-learning throughout the state. With their leadership, the movement grows. Encourage student participation in some form ·o f service, student government, and civic team activity for each student- every year. National Scene Education Commission of the States, "Every Student A Citizen: Creating the Democratic Self" Establish a national dialogue among organizations working on these issues, focused on how to engage young people in political action. 5 �3. Every effort must be made to support public education. Do not cut school budgets. Stress the need for efficient use of available resources. Lynn Kleiman-Malinoff- Research & Development Specialist- Wayne Westland Community School Districts Increase resources in the community and schools for after school and summer programs that use service-learning as a key strategy to engage youth. Provide more opportunities for Leader Schools within Michigan as well as develop a Michigan Leader School model so that alternative and traditional schools can learn from those schools that have some expertise with servicelearning. 4. Call on the U.S. Congress to do more to provide states with greater resources to improve and expand service-learning. Jerry Seese- Superintendent-Saginaw Township Community Schools In order to cause these programs (service-learning programs) to evolve, a system has to be in place to ensure that requirements are implemented. Additional funds are necessary to make this happen. State and local communities are dependent on funding to bring these programs to fruition. I'm asking that you consider funding Service-Learning Programs at the level necessary to have a significant impact on the students and adults in Michigan. Anne Brow, Elementary-Teacher-Glen Lake Community School I would recommend that your committee consider the importance of additional money to support teacher's professional development so that they can embrace new ideas that will promote civic education and service-learning. Minnie Pearce, Board Member- National Commission on Service Learning The final report of the Commission entitled Learning in Deed makes specific recommendations: Increase policy, program and financial supports for service-learning in K-12 education. To achieve this you must: a. Expand and leverage existing programs and funding streams. b. Build service-learning into the regular school activities. c. Fund and expand research to document service-learning outcomes and improve practice. 6 �Nelda Brown, Executive director- State Education Agency K-12 Service-Learning Network Investing in sound, rigorous research is a critical leadership step more states must take. As state legislators, call on the U.S. Congress to do more to provide states with greater resources to improve and expand service-learning. Lynn Kleiman-Malinoff, Research & Development Specialist-Way ne Westland Community School District Support public education. Do not cut our budgets. When you do, programs (like alternative education) that address the needs of students will suffer. Increase funding and training resources in the alternative education setting for service-learning. Dottie Johnson, Board Member- Corporation for National and Community Service and Trustee, WK. Kellogg Foundation Provide stable funding for core operating expenses for key student development organizations and educational opportunities within school and after school. Fundraising should still occur, but only government can provide the stable infrastructure of funding to key organizations. Stable funding is the literal investment that says: "Educating students for citizenship is important to democracy"- more than lip service, --money on the table. Other General Recommendations Provide stable funding for core operating expenses for student development organizations and educational opportunities within school and after school (fundraising should still occur, but only government can provide the stable infrastructure of funding to key organizations). National Scene Th e Civic Mission of Schools, A report from the Carnegie Corporation of New York and CIRCLE: The Center for Information and Research on Civic Learning and Engagement The federal government should increase the amount of federal funding available to states for civic education. The government should further consider establishing a new federal entity with responsibility for civic education which would commission research on civic education, encourage the development of model programs, help design and implement curricula, and serve as a national clearinghouse on civic education for teachers and schools across the country. 7 �5. Invest in sound, rigorous research that will advance service-learning statewide as well as nationally. Amy Smitter, Executive Director-Michigan Campus Compact I want to recommend that we undertake a state civic assessment of Michigan. This will permit us to have the facts on which to educate for and see clearly where the gaps in civic education are taking place. Nelda Brown, Executive director- State Education Agency K-12 Service-Learning Network Investing in sound, rigorous research is a critical leadership step more states must take. National Scene Th e Civic Mission of Schools, A report from the Carnegie Corporation of New York and CIRCLE: The Center for Information and Research on Civic Learning and Engagement Researchers should develop and implement more rigorous studies (including longitudinal research) about effective service-learning and other civic education approaches. Researchers should also develop indicators for civic knowledge, skills, and attitudes at each phase of K -12 schooling. 6. Provide additional funds to support teachers' professional development so that they can embrace new ideas that will promote civic education and service-learning. Anne Brow, Elementary- Teacher-Glen Lake Community School I would recommend that your committee consider the importance of additional money to support teacher's professional development so they can embrace new ideas that promote civic education and service-learning. Karen Todorov, Social Studies Consultant-Michigan Department of Education Supporting professional development through organizations which are set up to provide service, means that allocated money would be directed towards improving the quality of civic teaching and learning in Michigan, not in setting up institutions whose life span is determined by limited funding. 8 �Minnie Pearce, Board Member- National Commission on Service Learning Develop a comprehensive system of professional development regarding servicelearning. Some specific objectives should be to: a. Make service-learning part of all pre-service preparation and accreditation programs for teachers and administrators. b. Provide ongoing in-service professional development on servicelearning for teachers at all levels, from novice to veteran. c. Create multi-media professional development resources, including more web-based resources for teachers. Lynn Kleiman-Malinoff, Research & Development Specialist-Wayne Westland Community School District Require education students who seek their teaching credentials to take a class in service-learning methodology. Dottie Johnson, Board Member- Corporation for National and Community Service and Trustee, WK. Kellogg Foundation Provide additional incentives to schools and teachers for supporting the cocurricular and extra-curricular, service-learning, and experiential activities that develop sound character and good citizenship. Encourage student participation in some form of service, student government, and civic team activity for each student- every year. National Scene The Civic Mission of Schools, A report from the Carnegie Corporation of New York and CIRCLE: The Center for Information and Research on Civic Learning and Engagement Schools ofEducation should strengthen the civic dimensions of pre-service and in-service education for teachers and administrators. Those who are already working in schools should also be offered the opportunity to acquire continuing education credits related to civic education so that they can become more skilled at inculcating the civic knowledge, skills, and attitudes students need to become responsible and engaged citizens. 7. Create and support meaningful decision making roles for youth in servicelearning initiatives at every level. Jeffery J Miller, Policy Analyst, Center for Learning and Citizenship 9 �Providing authentic leadership roles for young people in the development of public policy at all levels. Minnie Pearce, Board Memb er- National Commission on Service Learning a. Support adults in giving students real authority, responsibility, and accountability for developing service-learning initiatives. b. Create and support meaningful decision making roles for youth in servicelearning initiatives at every level. c. Expand and support a national network of youth leaders for service-learning. Lynn Kleiman-Malinoff, Research & Development Specialist-Wayne Westland Community School District The communities gain from the resources that students provide and from the reduction in negative, sometimes expensive and destructive behaviors. Our community becomes stronger each time a school or community-based organization uses service-learning to engage students in a positive way in their communities. National Scene The Civic Mission of Schools, A report from the Carnegie Corporation of New York and CIRCLE: The Center for Information and Research on Civic Learning and Engagement Active learning opportunities that offer students the change to engage in discussions of issues and take part in activities that can help put a "real life" perspective on what is learned in class. These activities can range from collaborative or independent research projects and presentations to simulations, mock trials and elections, service-learning projects, and participation in the student government. Education Commission of the States, "Every Student A Citizen: Creating the Democratic Self" Implement programs of community outreach to involve community groups in creating democratic learning environments in all schools, giving careful consideration to restructuring measures that make it possible for students to participate in decision making activities and governance. 10 �~pei!_~ix 1 - - . ,----·--·---·----- HOUSE SUBCOMMITTEE ON SERVICE-LEARNING AND CIVIC EDUCATION MEMBERS CHAIR: Representative Doug Hart District 73 37329 Mesa Court Rockford, Michigan 49341 Phone: (517) 373-0218 Room N -1092, Anderson Building dist073 @house.mi. gov Representative Brenda Clack District 34 3120 Helber Street Flint, Michigan 48504 Phone: (517) 373-8808 Room N-798, Anderson Building brendaclack@house.mi. gov Representative John Stahl District 82 3790 Five Lakes Road North Branch, Michigan 48461 Phone(517)373-1800 Room S-1186, Anderson Building j ohnstahl@house.mi. gov Representative Hoon-Yung Hopgood District 22 10200 Beech Daly Taylor, Michigan 48180 Phone: (517) 3 73-0852 Room S-786, Anderson Building Hoon-yunghopgood@house.mi. gov Representative Barbara Vander Veen District 89 6185 Alger Street Allendale, Michigan 49401 Phone: (517) 373-0838 Room N-1193, Anderson Building repbarbvanderveen@house.mi.gov Other Representative Participants: Representative Jack Minore District 49 610 Commonwealth Avenue Flint, Michigan 48503 Phone: (517) 373-7515 Room N-898, Anderson Building jminore@house.mi.gov Representative Howard C.

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