Each month, the program showcases schools and school districts from across the country, conversations with school officials, parents and education experts, and advice and free resources for parents and educators. Live broadcasts are on the third Tuesday of each month during the school year, and rebroadcasts occur at various times on different stations throughout the month. A significant element of the one-hour broadcast is to highlight a successful school, district or organization in a three-to-four minute documentary/news story. The news story is always an education success story- an example of how to close the "achievement gap"- the central mission of the No Child Left Behind Act. To help continue the focus on the news story, we often invite representatives from the featured site to participate in the live discussion, so that viewers can call-in with specific questions and get a more in-depth understanding of the effort. The U.S. Department of Education wishes to showcase the L'Anse Creuse School District through L'Anse Creuse High School for its upcoming June 21st broadcast on: "Service Learning: Creating Community & Developing Citizens." We are also inviting you to participate during the 51 live broadcast in Washington DC on June 21 • Details for that participation will be explained in a separate letter. Goal: The U.S. Department of Education proposes to create a 3-4 minute video news story about L'Anse Creuse's tremendous success implementing a service learning program at the high school level and subsequently bringing it to the other grade levels. However, the video will solely focus on high school efforts. The video will include narration and sound bites and footage from the US Department of Education shoot. Below is a rough listing of the interviews we wish to conduct and the footage we hope to capture during our one-day visit. Shoot date: TBD Please note that will hire the services of a local video crew and must contain the shoot to an 8 hour day. �o Exterior- Traditional shots • Exterior of school • Students arriving/leaving school Community Service: (perhaps 2 locations -I know we'll need to talk this through) -As much as you are able to arrange - Ideally the places we visit will let us see a several students working on a project. For the purpose of the news story the solitary types of service are more difficult to videotape. Anything you tlilnk would be important to share that' s different or neat! -Because tills is a district story, footage of district buildings/sign that says "L'Anse Creuse School District" L'Anse Creuse City Shots Certainly, please do not hesitate to contact me with any questions or concerns. I do look forward in the next few days.

GRANHOLM, Governor MICHIGAN COMMUNITY SERVICE COMMISSION Chairperson Daniel G. Mulhern 1048 Pierpont, Suite 4 Lansing, Michigan 48913 Telephone: (517) 335-4295 FAX: (517) 373-4977 www.michigan.gov/mcsc Executive Director Janet C. Lawson MEMORANDUM TO: Members of the Michigan Community Service Commission FROM: Janet Lawson, Executive Director DATE: May 12,2005 RE: Updates on Progress and Challenges Since we met last February, we have focused on the mission of the Michigan Community Service Commission to: Build a culture of service by providing vision and resources to strengthen communities through volunteerism. Vision and Resources: Super Bowl XL The Super Bowl XL Host Committee requested the help of the Commission to help recruit and train the 10,000 volunteers needed to assure success in all Super Bowl festivities . Through written communication to Ms. Susan Scherer, Executive Director of the Super Bowl XL Host Committee, we offered to issue recruitment communications to: • • • • • 55,000 state employees 789 Michigan's AmeriCorps members throughout the state 33 Learn & Serve grantees who work with more than 3,000 classroom teachers and more than 50,000 K-12 students involved in service learning 230 VISTA volunteers throughout the state through a request of our partner, the Corporation for National and Community Service State Office 31 college campuses who are members ofthe Michigan Campus Compact �• • • 721 members of the Michigan Nonprofit Association 32 Volunteer Centers who recruit, train, and place volunteers throughout the state All sign language interpreters, as volunteers through the State of Michigan Commission on Disability Concerns, for Super Bowl events Fall Cross-Training Event A cross-training conference for more than 100 grantees is being planned for October 20-21, 2005 . This event, co-sponsored with the Corporation for National Service State Office and the MCSC, will strengthen the power of National Service in Michigan. The two-day training event will include all national service grantees: ArneriCorps, Learn & Serve, VISTA, and Senior Corps. Conference attendees will gather to learn best practices from the field, network with their colleagues and build collaborative relationships with their local partners. Governor's Service Awards/Carter Partnership Award The fund-development committee has successfully raised $234,000 to support not only the Governor's Service Awards/Carter Partnership Award event but also Mentor Michigan programming beyond the June 18th event. Thanks to the generosity of our corporate and nonprofit friends, we will be able to award and recognize volunteer leaders in our state whose volunteer stories are heroic and awe inspiring. This year there are eight Governor's Service Award categories, the Carter Partnership Award that honors campus/community partnerships and the Mawby Award. Last year the fund-development committee raised $100,000 for the Governor's Service Award and Mentor Michigan. AmeriCorps Competitive Applications We are pleased to announce that we received notification on May 3, 2005 that seven competitive ArneriCorps programs were renewed for a funding total of218 full FTE's and $2,481,056. Strengthen Communities Mentor Michigan The success of the Mentor Michigan VISTA volunteers who are building a men to ring infrastructure across Michigan is outstanding. From July 2004- March 2005 VISTA volunteers recruited 1,972 community volunteers who engaged in 13,748 hours of community service. These volunteers raised $64,390 and totaled an additional $142,420 of in-kind or donated goods. Additionally, they referred 1,818 potential new mentors and engaged 230 new partners. This success gives us hope and confidence that the creation of a Mentor Michigan ArneriCorps project will add similar strength to mentoring agencies across the state who are in need of systems to expedite volunteer processing, streamlining the intake process and background checks, assistance with recruitment strategies, and planning for agency sustainability. The results are in from the Mentor Michigan Wave II Census. We continue to increase the number of children who have been matched with a mentor, the number of agencies in our �registry, the length ofmentoring matches, and our understanding of what a successful match looks like. Russ Mawby Signature Service Award Commissioner Russ Mawby's personal contribution and commitment to philanthropy and volunteerism sets the tone for the AmeriCorps Signature Service Award on May 21. Joined by First Gentleman Mulhern and many MCSC Commissioners, more than 160 AmeriCorps members will support the Blue Water Habitat for Humanity Jimmy Carter Work Project. The Signature Service Project is an annual event hosted by the Michigan Community Service Commission. Jimmy Carter Work Project State Employee Registration Responding to a request from the Governor's Office, MCSC staff members managed the volunteer registration process of over 650 state employees in 13 Michigan Habitat communities. June 19-24 more than 6,000 volunteers statewide will build 200 homes in Michigan during the Jimmy Carter Work Project 2005 . Michigan's AmeriCorps On May 5 and 6 a group of 11 current and former Michigan's AmeriCorps program directors met to begin the development of Michigan's AmeriCorps Quality Program Standards. They will continue their work over the summer with the plan to pilot the standards this fall. The Corporation for National and Community Service is excited that we have begun this project and believe it is something that can be replicated nationwide. Flamingo Flocking Project Though the flamingo has not yet replaced the robin as Michigan's state bird, keep your eyes open in your community for the Flamingo Flocking Project sponsored by the Mentor Michigan VISTA volunteers. This project will "give wing" to more Mentor Michigan VISTA success and fund development opportunities for Mentor Michigan. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

The rule can be found in Word format on the Corporation's website at vyww.americorps.gov/rulemaking. It is also available to the public in the Federal Register's reading room in Washington, D.C. It will be formally published in the Federal Register on July 8, 2005. On September 6, 2005, the new regulatory language will be incorporated into the Code of Federal Regulations at http://www .gpoaccess.gov/cfr/index.html. When does the rule take effect? The new rule takes effect September 6, 2005, sixty days after the date of publication in the Federal Register. Will the new rules apply to program year 2005? The following new rules apply to program year 2005: • Member service activities(§§ 2520.5 through 2520.60, and 2540.100(f)(2)) • Tutoring Requirements(§§ 2522.900 through 2522.920) • Match Requirements(§§ 2521.35 through 2521.90) (note, however, that no grantee will have to increase its match above current r_e quirements until the 2006 program year at the earliest) • State Commissions Directly Operating Programs other than subtitle C and Senior Corps (§ 2550.80(j)) The new rules relating to the selection criteria and process, performance measures, and http://www.americorps.org/rulemaking/rulemaking_rule_faq.html 7/28/2005 �AmeriCorps Rulemaking Page 3 of7 evaluation, will become operational for the 2006 program year. When do I have to comply with the provisions that are not operational in program year 2005? The provisions of the rule that become operational in program year 2006 (selection criteria and process, performance measures, and evaluation) must be complied with from the start of a three-year grant cycle beginning on or after program year 2006. In other words, continuations in program years 2005 and 2006 do not yet need to comply, nor will year 3 continuations in 2007. What are the most significant changes from the proposed rule? The major substantive changes from the proposed rule are the addition of an alternative match requirement that recognizes the special circumstances of programs in rural and severely economically distressed areas; the requirement to align one set of performance measures on the program's primary area of activity; the requirement that grantees receiving an average of more than $500,000 per year in .Corporation funds over five years obtain an independent evaluation; and the breakdown of the cost-effectiveness and budget adequacy category of the selection criteria to 15% for cost-effectiveness and 10% for budget adequacy. The new rule also contains numerous changes of a more technical nature that we included to strengthen and clarify the regulation. How is the rule different from current rules or policy? Please refer to the side-by-side at www.americorps.gov/rulemaking for a description of the differences between current requirements and the new rule. How should I read the rule? There are two main parts of the rule document: (1) the preamble (very long); and (2) the regulatory language (relatively short). The preamble explains the basis and purpose of the regulatory text, but contains no regulatory language. It arranges basic information on the "who, what, where, and why" of the document for the reader's convenience, and summarizes how the Corporation considered comments from the public. The regulatory language states the actual amendments to the Code of Federal Regulations, organized in numerical sequence. Why is the preamble so long? The preamble's length reflects the many comments we received from the public in response to our notice of proposed rulemaking last August. When will these regulations be codified in the Code of Federal Regulations? The regulations will be available through the online Code of Federal Regulations as of the effective date, September 6, 2005. They will be available in the bound volume of title 45 of the Code of Federal Regulations after October 1, 2005. Training 1 Return to Top Will you have training and technical assistance resources available to help grantees and prospective grantees follow the new rule? Yes, there will be several training sessions on the content and implications of the rules during the National Conference on Volunteering and Service in Washington, D.C., August 3-6, 2005. These sessions will be a part of both the AmeriCorps Grantee Staff Training and the general conference offerings. During the fall of 2005, there will be materials and additional training opportunities specific to rulemaking-related topic areas such as sustainability, evaluation, performance measurement, tutoring and documenting match. The Corporation also made extra training dollars available to State Commissions in fiscal year 2005 in anticipation of the need to train grantees about the new rules. For information about training opportunities and http://www .americorps.org/rulemaking/rulemaking_ rule_faq .html 7/28/2005 �Page 4 of 7 AmeriCorps Rulemaking locations following the national conference, please contact your Program Officer. All materials will be posted on the Corporation's rulemaking site at www.americorps.gov/rulemaking. How do I receive training? We will notify AmeriCorps grantees of an array of training opportunities in a variety of training formats and locations. Following the National Conference on Volunteering and Service, on-line training on the content and implications of the rules will be available as well as materials for commissions and direct grantees to use with subgrantees and sites. There will also be several regional trainings focusing on topic areas specific to the rules such as sustainability, documenting match, tutoring, and performance measurement and evaluation in fall 2005. For access to training contact your Program Officer. To access materials go to the Corporation's rulemaking site at www.americorps.govjrulemaking. Scope Of Rule 1 Return to Top Whom do these changes impact --AmeriCorps State and National only or AmeriCorps*VISTA as well? . The new rule covers AmeriCorps State and National, including Tribes, Territories, and in some cases the Education Award Program. AmeriCorps*VISTA is not covered. Do the changes apply to the Education Award Program? The new rule explicitly excludes Education Award Program (EAP) grantees from specified sections. The preamble discusses this at pages 17-20. Specifically, EAP programs do not have to provide independent evaluations, or meet the new match requirements, and are exempted from addressing two of the cost-effectiveness criteria, including the one relating to cost per MSY. How will the proposed rule affect other Corporation programs, both within AmeriCorps and outside of it, such as Challenge Grants, Next Generation, Learn and Serve America, and Senior Corps? The new rule only addresses AmeriCorps State and National, including Tribes, Territories, and in some cases the Education Award Program. We may consider extending some part of the rule to other programs. However, such changes will only occur after appropriate public notice and input. Application And Management 1 Return to Top How will the proposed rule affect the AmeriCorps 2005 guidelines? What about the AmeriCorps grant provisions? The 2005 guidelines specifically noted that certain aspects of 2005 programs could change upon the completion of the rulemaking process. With the exception of the selection criteria, performance measures, and evaluation requirements, all other provisions of the new rule will apply to the 2005 program year. The new rule, when effective, supersedes prior provisions including those in regulations, grant provisions, and guidelines. Program staff will work with grantees to ensure they incorporate the new requirements into their program models, and the Corporation will amend the 2005 grant provisions to reflect the changes, as necessary. I am about to begin a new three year cycle in 2005-2006. How will the rule affect me? Except for the sections on selection criteria and process, performance measures, and evaluations, the new rules will apply to your grant beginning in the 2005 program year. The new rule, when effective, supersedes prior provisions including those in regulations, grant provisions, and guidelines. http://www.americorps.org/rulemaking/rulemaking_rule_faq .html 7/28/2005 �AmeriCorps Rulemaking Page 5 of7 What if I am a continuation in 2005-2006? Except for the sections on selection criteria and process, performance measures, and evaluations, which will not apply to continuations in '05, '06, or to year 3 continuations in '07, the rest of the rule will apply to continuation grants beginning in the 2005 program year. The new rule, when effective, supersedes prior provisions including those in regulations, grant provisions, and guidelines. Matching ReQuirements 1 Ret urn t o Top What does the new rule mean for my match in 2005? The new rule provides that if you have received an operational grant for your program for three or more years at the time the rule takes effect, you will begin matching at the year three level on the match schedule. This means that your match requirements will not change in 2005, but wi ll begin to increase in the 2006 program year. No program will have to meet the increased match requirements in 2005. No program, regardless of how many years it has had ~orporation funding, will be considered to be in a year greater than year three in 2005. If you have had funding from the Corporation for one or more three-year grant cycles, the new regulations tell you what year you will be considered to be in for 2006 and what match level you will need to meet. How are you going to monitor whether I am meeting my match requirement? We will review your Financial Status Reports every six months to determine if you are on track to meet your match requirements. State commissions will be responsible for monitoring match requirements for their subgrantees. What happens if I do not meet my match requirement? We will monitor your match through your Financial Status Reports and discuss potential shortfalls with you over the course of the grant. We do not expect grantees to necessarily meet the matching requirement each year over the course of a three-year grant as long as the overall required match is met by the end of the third year. If, at the end of the grant, you have not met your regulatory match, you may have to return the portion of Federal funds you haven't been able to match. Why do long-standing Corporation grantees have to match at a higher level? The national service legislation places importance on promoting the sustainability of AmeriCorps programs . The Corporation believes that an important piece of sustainability is decreasing reliance on Federal funding, and increasing the capacity of organizations operating AmeriCorps programs to assume more of the cost over time. This will make existing grantees stronger and more tied to their communities, while allowing the Corporation to achieve better leverage of Federal dollars and expand the reach of national and community service. What data lead you to believe that most grantees can meet increased matching requirements? Past performance indicates that most programs will be able to meet the new match schedule. Since 2000, the average AmeriCorps program exceeded our current requirements by a substantial margin. However, recognizing that particularly low-matching grantees are often in distressed rural and low-economic areas, the Corporation is allowing programs in distressed rural and low-income areas that demonstrate difficulty in reaching the higher match rates to apply for a waiver to match at a lower schedule. The chart below shows the matching level of AmeriCorps * State and National programs for the 2000-2002 program years: Budgeted Match Percent of AC*State http://www .americorps.org/rulemaking/rulemaking_ rule_faq .html 7/28/2005 �AmeriCorps Rulemaking Page 6 of7 and National Programs Over 50% 19% of programs Greater than 40%, less than or equal to 50% 18% of programs Greater than 30%, less than or equal to 40% 31% of programs Greater than or equal to 25%, less than or equal to 30% 14% of programs Less than 25% 18% of programs Do the increased matching requirements apply to an individual program or an individual legal applicant? For example, if a longtime grantee wants to initiate a brand new program, does the match schedule begin at year one? The matching requirements apply to the individual program, not to the individual legal applicant. Therefore, if one legal applicant operates two programs under two separate grants, each program meets the matching requirement based on the number of years that program has received funding. Do you anticipate any future changes to grantee match requirements? Our goal was to achieve a fair, equitable, and authoritative resolution of the issue of organization financial sustainability. By incrementally increasing match requirements, while accommodating rural and severely economically distressed communities, and developing measures to assist grantees in meeting the new requirements, we believe we have fully achieved that resolution. We intend to monitor and report to the public on a regular basis the progress grantees are making in leveraging Federal resources and the impact of the rule. Waivers 1 Return to Top Are there any waivers from the new rule? An applicant organization may request a waiver from two provisions: {1) the requirement to recruit or support volunteers; and {2) the specific schedule of increasing match requirements. When do we apply for a waiver? An organization requests a waiver of the requirement to recruit or support volunteers in its grant application. An organization located in a rural or a severely economically distressed community may apply for an alternative match schedule in advance of its application for a grant after at least three years operating an AmeriCorps program. In addition, by statute, an applicant organization may at any time request a waiver, in whole or in part, of matching requirements based on a lack of available financial resources at the local level. Performance Measures 1 Return to Top If the Corporation expects me to align my performance measures by 2006, would it help to begin to align them in 2005? Yes. The Corporation believes it important for grantees to begin reporting on aligned performance measures that address the program's primary activity. While not a requirement for 2005, program staff will work with grantees through negotiation to try to align their measures for the coming program year. However, the Corporation does not require you to align performance measures until 2006. Alignment requirement will apply to new and recompeting applications beginning program year 2006. The alignment requirement will not apply to new applications in program year 2005 or continuations in program year 2006 . http://www .americorps.org/rulemaking/rulemaking_rule_faq .html 7/28/2005 �AmeriCorps Rulemaking Other 1 Return Page 7 of7 to Top What is the difference between an MSY and a FTE? For our purposes, the terms are synonymous. The term member service year, or MSY, more accurately describes units of AmeriCorps service than FTE, which is commonly associated with budgeting for employee payroll. The Corporation changed the terminology to avoid any misimpression that AmeriCorps members are Federal employees. Is the Corporation planning any other changes through rulemaking? As indicated in notices previously posted in the Federal Register, the Corporation is planning several changes in agency and program rules. For a copy of the agency's most recent notice, go http://www.access,gpo.gov/su_docsjfedreg/a050516c.html. Regarding AmeriCorps specifically, the Corporation is currently undertaking a process to incorporate annual guidelines and grant provisions into regulations and to make other changes so that the AmeriCorps rules are more accessible in one place. Our goal is to end up with one primary ~ · ' reference document - the regulations - for organizations to use in applying for and operating · national and community service programs. The Corporation is not, however, considering any changes that would modify any of the provisions of the new rules. · ### Home I Join AmeriCorps I AmeriCorps * VISTA I AmeriCorps * NCCC I en Espafiol Corporation for National and Commun ity Service I Senior Corps I Learn & Serve America Contact Information I Partners I Link to Us I Privacy Policy For more information on joining AmeriCorps, call 1-800-942-2677, TTY 1-800-833-3722 or email q uestions@a mericorps. org . http://www .americorps.org/rulemaking/rulemaking_rule_faq .html 7/28/200§ � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

We ask that you and your colleagues in the U.S. Congress consider and support our recommendations for National Service funding . The Corporation is an independent federal agency that provided $22.3 million in funding to Michigan last year. Those funds leveraged more than 76,000 volunteer participants and over 120 program sites, projects and grantees. These volunteers serve in national service programs that include Learn and Serve America, Senior Corps, AmeriCorps State and National, and AmeriCorps Volunteers in Service to America (VISTA). A brief profile of National Service funding and local sites in Michigan is attached for your review (or you can view it online at www.cns.gov/state profiles/). In Michigan, funding from the Corporation is administered through the Corporation' s Michigan Office in Detroit and the Michigan Community Service Commission-a state agency based in Lansing and appointed by Governor Granholm. These organizations work cooperatively to get national service participants to local nonprofits including volunteer centers, human service agencies , schools and higher education institutions that in tum recruit and coordinate other vo lunteers to address local needs. Volunteers in National Service work on critical community issues including poverty, education, housing, public safety, the environment, homeland security and other human needs. All over Michigan and across America, the Corporation' s programs support President Bush's Call to Service and his goal for every person in America to dedicate at least two years or 4,000 hours during their lifetime to the service of others. Since its creation in 1993 , the Corporation has worked with Congress to take strong and bold steps toward innovation and reform. AmeriCorps, Senior Corps and Learn and Serve America programs were some of the first to work with faith-based organizations, on homeland security initiatives and in engaging the Baby Boomer generation in volunteerism. More recently, the President has installed a new leadership team and the Corporation has embarked on a ru1emaking process that will impact every aspect of the organization ' s activities. Now the Corporation's programs are working even harder to meet the increasing demand of our nation's communities. Below is a description of these high impact initiatives. AmeriCorps State and National is a network of state commissions and nonprofit organizations that utilize service as a strategy to meet community needs. More than 1,200 members serve in 71 program sites across Michigan, leveraging more than $3.9 million in education awards and millions more in public and private sector resources . The Michigan Community Service Commission distributes and monitors 59% of the grants to AmeriCorps programs in Michigan. Local communities identify their needs , choose the model that can best address their needs, and compete with other local organizations for national service funding through the Commission and State Office to support their programs. AmeriCorps, like all programs administered by the Corporation, is grassroots driven and facilitated by the state and federal levels. AmeriCorps members completing a year of service are eligible for an education award worth $4,725 that can �be used to pay educational costs at qualified advanced education institutions. Education Awards are administered through the National Service Trust to guarantee availability. Michigan is engaging I ,290 ArneriCorps members. They are part of the 75,000 members serving across the country who are helping to recruit, engage and train more than 600,000 community volunteers to directly serve more than 2 million children and youth. For FY 2006, we support $442 million for AmeriCorps grants to state programs and national nonprofits, which operate sites in Michigan. In addition, we support funding the National Service Trust equal to the funding level requested by the President for FY 2005. This would empower the Corporation to continue to effectively recruit 75,000 AmeriCorps members for 2006. ArneriCorps NCCC and AmeriCorps*VISTA work on project based needs and the needs of the poor respectively. These are valuable components to the AmeriCorps network. We support $25.5 million for AmeriCorps NCCC and $94.6 million for AmeriCorps*VIST A which will help ensure that Michigan is able to continue leveraging 180 members and $2.6 million in national service support for our communities. Senior Corps, a vital element of the national service family, is comprised of three strong and unique programs- Foster Grandparents Program, Senior Companion Programs and Retired and Senior Volunteer Program (RSVP). These programs harness the experience, skills and talents of our older citizens and focus their passions for service toward working with other seniors, children and a myriad of other citizens. We support an appropriation of $65 million for RSVP to support the program including $4.3 million to increase recruitment and programming and $2.16 million for Programs of National Significances as identified by Congress. For the Foster Grandparent Program we recommend $116.5 million to include $1.7 million for Programs of National Significance expansion and $3.4 million to support and improve quality programming in the field. We support an appropriation of $51.9 million for the Senior Companion Program to fund Programs of National Significance which includes $4 million to ensure tighter adherence to federal policies, a sma ll increase for program volunteers and the expansion of programming to the field. Learn and Serve America is a competitive grant program for K-12 schools, colleges and universities , and community and faith-based organizations to integrate community service with academic study. The service-learning approach to education improves learning, teaches civic responsibility, and strengthens communities. The funding supports the development or replication of innovative programs, teacher training, research, and volunteer management. Unfortunately, funding for the program has stagnated or shrunk over the past decade while the demand, denoted by the increasing number of participants, has grown. We support providing $46 million for Learn and Serve America in FY 2006, including an additional $2 million for teacher training. In addition, we support the addition of $1 million to support thorough, scientifically-based service-learning research. This would also ensure that the $1 million in Michigan Learn and Serve America funding may be maintained and possibly grow next year to support our 62,000 participants. All of these highly effective and valuable programs are making a difference in the lives of thousands of Michigan citizens. They engage the young and young at heart in service to communities. Through our strong network of Volunteer Centers, Campus Compact schools and Communities of Promise Michigan, we are leveraging national service to make a difference in communities. The public/private sector partnership that national service represents is groundbreaking in its ability to provide much needed resources in a cost-effective and enduring model that can strengthen commun ities in Michigan today and well into the future . �We are eager to work with you to ensure that this important series of programs provide opportunities for all Michigan citizens to serve their communities and address local needs. We hope that you and your fellow Michigan members of Congress will support our recommendations. Michigan's national service champions thank you for your consideration .

Box 30036 Lansing, MI 48909 Dear Speaker DeRoche, Representative Byrum, Senator Sikkema, and Senator Emerson: The 283 signatories below, representing Michigan ' s families , businesses, nonprofits and communities, urge Michigan lawmakers to continue funding for the Michigan Community Service Commission (MCSC) to suppmt volunteerism and service throughout the state. Michigan ' s investment of $990,000 last year leveraged more than $6.8 million in federal funds for grants to local communities that in tum gamered 900,000 hours of volunteer service. Without the state support, these federa l funds and the 24 individuals each MCSC sponsored program volunteer generates will be lost. These are volunteers working to recruit mentors, engaging students in meaningful education opportunities through service, building affordab le housing for families, ensuring safe neighborhoods, helping communities keep watersheds clean and safe, and the list goes on. Unfortunately, a misunderstanding regarding the federal leveraging power of the MCSC led to exclusion of the funding for tills program from the budget passed by the Michigan House of Representative for fiscal year 2006. As lawmakers move forward in this very difficult budget process, we hope that this important and highly valuable funding will be restored so these important programs can continue. We understand Michigan ' s tough financial position . The State ' s $39 billion budget must suppo rt all govemment responsibilities in the face of rising costs, incl uding rapidly ri sing healthcare costs, higher education costs, and more Medicare and Medicaid patients. We are reminded of thi s as we look at the cuts the MCSC is facing - complete elimination of all state support . Yet we all know that the work the MCSC supports is helping to alleviate the burden of government and local communities and in a highly effective way.

Today, 49 states and many of the nation's tenitories have followed Michigan 's lead by fonning state commissions that gamer millions in loca l, state and federa l support and thousands of vo lunteers to improve communities. M ichigan built a strong and innova tive model for community problem so lving for Michigan through the investment of leadership , resources and pass ion. The case for continuing that legacy is simple. It leverages our most va luabl e resource - volunteers. We want to work with you during thi s pivotal stage in the state "s budgeting process to ensure that as many Michigan citizens as poss ible have the oppot1unities to serve their communities and their countty.

Box 30036 Lansing, MI 48909 Dear Speaker DeRoche, Representative Byrum, Senator Sikkema, and Senator Emerson: The 283 signatories below, representing Michigan ' s families , businesses, nonprofits and communities, urge Michigan lawmakers to continue funding for the Michigan Community Service Commission (MCSC) to support volunteerism and service throughout the state. Michigan ' s investment of$990,000 last year leveraged more than $6.8 million in federal funds for grants to local communities that in tum garnered 900,000 hours of volunteer service. Without the state support, these federal funds and the 24 individuals each MCSC sponsored program volunteer generates will be lost. These are volunteers working to recruit mentors, engaging students in meaningful education opportunities through service, building affordable housing for families , ensuring safe neighborhoods, helping communities keep watersheds clean and safe, and the list goes on. Unfortunately, a misunderstanding regarding the federal leveraging power of the MCSC led to exclusion of the funding for this program from the budget passed by the Michigan House of Representative for fiscal year 2006. As lawmakers move forward in this very difficult budget process, we hope that this important and highly valuable funding will be restored so these important programs can continue. We understand Michigan ' s tough financial position. The State' s $39 billion budget must support all government responsibilities in the face of rising costs, including rapidly rising healthcare costs, higher education costs, and more Medicare and Medicaid patients. We are reminded of this as we look at the cuts the MCSC is facing - complete elimination of all state support. Yet we all know that the work the MCSC supports is helping to alleviate the burden of government and local communities and in a highly effective way .

Today, 49 states and many of the nation ' s territories have followed Michigan's lead by forming state commissions that garner millions in local, state and federal support and thousands of volunteers to improve communities. Michigan built a strong and innovative model for community problem solving for Michigan through the investment of leadership, resources and passion. The case for continuing that legacy is simple. It leverages our most valuable resource -volunteers. We want to work with you during this pivotal stage in the state's budgeting process to ensure that as many Michigan citizens as possible have the opportunities to serve their communities and their country.

Visit www.nationalservice.gov to provide input.by August 31, 2005. �The Corporation/or National and Community Service provides opportunities for Americans ofall ages and backgrounds to serve their communities and country primarily through its Senior Corps, AmeriCorps, and Learn and Serve America programs. Participants in the Corporation 's programs contribute more than 200 million service hours to communities each year. These programs, each with their own purpose and structure, are united for a common purpose- engaging citizens dedicated to making their communities better. Senior Corps is a network of programs- RSVP (Retired and Senior Volunteer Program), Foster Grandparent Program (FGP), and Senior Companion Program (SCP)- that uses the experience, skills, and talents of more than 5000,000 volunteers age 55 and older to meet community needs. More than half a million Senior Corps volunteers serve in more than 70,000 local nonprofits, public agencies, and faith- based organizations through the three Senior Corps programs. AmeriCorps is a network of national service programs-AmeriCorps*State and National, AmeriCorps*NCCC, and AmeriCorps*VISTA-that meet critical needs in areas such as education, public safety, health, and the environment through partnerships with public agencies, nonprofits, faithbased and other local organizations. More than 70,000 AmeriCorps members and 600,000 volunteers that they recruit tutor and mentor youth, build affordable housing, teach computer skills, clean parks and streams, operate after-school programs, and help communities respond to disasters. Learn and Serve America is a grant program that supports servicelearning activities in schools and community organizations by helping approximately one million students from kindergarten through college meet community needs while improving their academic skills and learning the importance and impact of good citizenship. Learn and Serve America grants are used to create new programs or replicate existing programs, as well as to provide training and development to staff, faculty, and volunteers.

To make a difference in thi s world , yo u mu st be invo lved. By serv ing a hi g he r ca lling here or abroad, you'll make your li ves richer and build a mo re ho peful future for our world. " President George W. Bush Remarks by the Presi dent at Calvin Coll ege Commencement, May 2 1, 2005 Through the programs of the Corporation for National and Community Service, Americans are investing their time, energy, and talent in improving the lives of others and strengthening their communities. In the process, they are building a more engaged society and becoming leaders in civic life . By uniting together and forging new social ties, Americans demonstrate the strength of our character and renew our sense of purpose- to guarantee freedom by helping one another. When we participate in service and volunteering, we express our patriotism and citizenship while addressing critical local needs. As President Bush said in May 2005 to the graduating class at Calvin College, "When you come together to serve a cause greater than yourself, you will energize your communities and help build a more just and compassionate America." Participants in our programs tutor students, mentor children of prisoners, help elderly seniors remain independent, restore trails, riverbanks, and beaches, provide emergency assistance to Americans following disasters, and recruit, train, and manage millions of community volunteers who accomplish even more. These acts have a "can-do" quality that is inherently American . These programs stimulate and nurture the spirit of optimism, volunteerism, and civic engagement that sustains our democracy. A Heritage o[Service When President John F. Kennedy created the Peace Corps in 1961 , he expressed the hope that one day a program with a similar purpose would be created to meet domestic needs. In 1964, Volunteers in Service to America (VISTA) began the progress toward that goal. The creation of volunteer programs for seniors- RSVP , Senior Companions, and Foster Grandparents- followed. In 1990, President George H. Bush took another strong step forward when he established the White House Commission on National and Community Service, which established the program that is now Learn and Serve America. Then, in 1993 , President William J . Clinton, created AmeriCorps and b.rought all it and other programs together under a new Corporation for National and Community Service. ·Presi dent George W . Bush has substantially contributed to this legacy by calling for a " nation of citizens, not spectators" in his 2001 Inaugural address, by launching a faithbased and community initiative to expand support for grassroots organizations meeting local needs, by iss uing a national call to serv ice for every American in th e wake of the September II attacks, by creating the USA Freedom Corps to stimulate serv ice in America , and by winning for the Corporation the largest funding inc rease in its history, expand ing AmeriCorps by 50 percent to 75 ,000 members. Strategic Plan lmpro l•ing Lil'es. Strengrhening Communities. and Fos rerin ~ Civic Engagemenr 3 �Answering the President's Call President Bush issued A Call to Service in his January 2002 State of the Union Address, in which he challenged every American to dedicate at least 4,000 hours (the equivalent of two years) of his or her life to the service of others. That yea r, over 59 million peopl e served their communities through volunteer activities with nonprofit organizations. 1 Since then, the desire to serve and the value of service is continuing to gain momentum in our country. In 2004, 64.5 million, or 29 percent of Americans ages 16 and older, contributed a median of 52 hours a year in volunteer service to their community? According to the Current Population Survey (CPS), the volunteer rate among older people ages 55 to 64 rose from 27.5 percent in 2002 to 30.1 percent in 2004. Additionally, from 2002 through 2004, the percentage of retired Baby Boomers 3 who volunteer increased steadily, from about 25 percent in 2002 to about 30 percent in 2004. While many Americans are volunteering and giving back to their communities, more Americans would be motivated to volunteer if they were presented with rewarding opportunities that fit within their daily schedule. We plan to capitalize on this opportunity by providing meaningful ways for all Americans to serve. 1 U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, 2004 Current Population Survey's (CPS) Supplement on Volunteering .

John F. Kennedy Our Strategic Goals National and community service programs work closely with traditional volunteer organizations to broaden , deepen , and strengthen the ability of America's volunteers to contribute to our communities and our nation. The Corporation from its inception has worked to ensure that we are doing the following three things to support service and volunteering in America: • Meeting Critical Needs in Local Communities through Service Across America, millions of lives are improved, problems resolved, injuries healed, and injustices overcome as a result of interventions by caring, compassionate, and skilled volunteers and service participants in Corporationsupported programs. These outcomes are reached in partnership with an expanding public-private network of nonprofit organizations, public agencies, and educational institutions. • Strengthening Communities to Engage Citizens Strong communities have a robust capacity to engage citizens effectively. Corporation programs help nonprofit organizations, public institutions, educational institutions, and volunteer connector organizations build that capacity for communities. A focus on community capacity and sustainability ensures that every Corporation program leaves a community better equipped to engage local citizens to address pressing local challenges. • Engaging Americans in a Lifetime of Volunteering and Service Through our programs and partnerships, the Corporation offers every American (as a member, program participant or community volunteer) meaningful opportunities to serve and improve their lives. As we engage more people in service, and reinvigorate America's ethic of responsibility, patriotism, and citizen engagement, we also enhance civic skills and socially responsible attitudes, thereby strengthening our democracy. In return , those who serve will gain or enhance valuable skills useful in their educational and career pursuits, and offer them rewarding opportunities to better connect with their community. Guiding Principles As we pursue our goals, we are guided by ten key principles : · I . Put the needs of local communities first. 2. Help both rural and economically distressed communities obtain access to our resources . 3. Support diverse organizations, including faith-based and other community organi zations, minority colleges, and disability organizations. 4. Apply the best practices of service-learning to all of our programs, putting volunteer Strategic Plan lmprol'ing LiFes. Strengthening Co mmunities. and Fos lering Ci1·ic E11gagement 5 �and service activities into the appropriate context. 5. Use our programs to build stronger, more efficient, and sustainable community networks capable of mobilizing volunteers to address key challenges such as disaster preparedness and response. 6. Help service participants and volunteers build public service careers, including teaching, nonprofit management, healthcare, the military, and other critical professions. 7. Strengthen the public-private partnerships that support all of our programs. 8. Measure and continually improve our programs ' outcomes for service beneficiaries, service participants, and community organizations. 9. Build collaborations wherever possible across our programs, as well as between our programs and other Federal programs pursuing similar goals. 10. Exhibit excellence in management and customer service. Our Focus Areas (or 2005-2010 We have identified four cross-program priorities; Each focus area provides an opportunity for all of our programs to work together toward common objectives. These priorities are influenced by the Corporation's strategic goals, supported by our guiding principles, and implemented using each of our programs' unique methods for engaging volunteers and participants of all ages and backgrounds to meet critical needs . In addition, these areas of focus are sufficiently broad to encompass State Commissions, State Education Agencies, national nonprofits, local communities and other partners working Within their own priorities. We believe that these focus areas are appropriate for the Corporation, because they are in line with national current social trends and because we are equipped to provide opportunities in which service can meet these needs and produce a significant positive impact on the nation. • Building the Supply Line for America's Armies of Compassion to Since the President's call service in 2002, we have seen five million more Americans serve their communities and country. We are dedicated to continuing that trend so that more citizens in need and service organizations will benefit. In 2004, there were 64.5 million Americans serving; our goal for the nation is to increase that number to 75 million by 2010 by making available more service opportunities. • Ensuring a Brighter Future for all of America's Youth Youth need support from caring adults in their families, schools, and communities. In particular, youth who grow up in severely distressed communities characterized by high poverty rates, high crime rates, early experimentation with illicit drugs, and promiscuity are more likely to be at risk of school failure, unemployment, criminal behavior, and persistent poverty. Not only can youth benefit from services such as mentoring, but they also have much to offer their communities as volunteers and service participants. The Corporation will continue to support children in need, by providing more opportunities for yo uth to serve and to receive services. Strategic Plan Improving Lives, Strengthening Communities, and Fostering Civic Engagement 6 �• Engaging Students in their Communities Educational institutions (elementary, secondary, as well as higher education) play a key role in guiding students to become responsible citizens and leaders who use their academic and other experiences to support the common good. Volunteering and service are powerful factors that support and enhance the learning experience and need to be further incorporated into academic curricula. • Harnessing Experience to Meet 21st Century Challenges Baby Boomers are a highly talented, highly motivated group that could drive solutions to some of our most intractable social problems. Capturing their experience and energy, and engaging them in helping to solve critical social issues through service must become a high-priority goal for the nation in the commg years . For each of these initiatives and in the section on the Corporation ' s management infrastructure, we have identified performance targets and management goals, which, in general , are annual goals that will be achieved in the year 2010. National targets reflect what we expect to see nationwide, while Corporation targets reflect the contributions that the Corporation and its national service partners will make to service and volunteering across the nation . Strategic Plan improving Lives, Strengthening Co mmunities. and Fos tering Civic Engagement 7 �OUR FOCUS AREAS FOR 2005-2010 "Citizens working together w ith their neighbors offer powerful solutions to some of the toughest problems facing our cities and rural areas. The Corporation will succeed to the extent that its programs provide genuine support, innovation and energy to local volunteers making positive change happen in their communities." Stephen Goldsmith, Chairman Corporation for National and Community Service Board of Directors Building the Supplv Line {or America's A rmies of Compassion As the echoes of the September 11 explosions were ringing in our ears, President Bush issued his call to service in early 2002 . Since then the number of people volunteering in communities (who the President has called "America' s annies of compassion") has continued to increase from 59 million Americans to 64.5 milliofi. ~ For those of us interested in engaging our citizens and strengthening our democracy, this three-year growth in the number of Americans volunteering represents a -once-in-ageneration opportunity to sustain a significant upsurge in citizen engagement This initiative is about increasing the level of individuafengagyrlient in voluntee; ·~ctivities and building the infrastructure of nonprofits and communities to enable the creation of positive, meaningful volunteer opporwnities. · Together with our partners, including voluiYte¢f. and service-driven organizations across the country, the Corporation is committed to worldng_ ~9.~ard a national goal of expanding the number of Americans who vqhmteer by fuqie than 15 percent over five years, from 64.5 million t6 75 million Ameri~ans. We afso want to encourage volunteers to contribute more hours to their community. As part of that effort, we are encouraging more Americans to consider making volunteeri~g part of their weekly activities. This effort will broaden volunteers' opportunities to further enhance individual skills and increase lop.g-J~Pn capacity in communities. Furthermore, because volunteers can gain a wealth of knowledge enhan-c·e·their skills through their service experience, they can be a trern_t~nqous asset to organizations and communities. For example, Michelle Ward, an AmeriCorps*NCCC aluriina who studies economics and international business, applied skills learrte<;Lfrom her servk~ when she began work with the embassy in Togo for the U.S . State Department. The emergency management work she did while fighting wildfires with AmeriCorps*NCCC came in handy when a political coup occurred in Togo. She became responsible for evacuation efforts and setting up shelters. or Research conducted by the Corporation and others in recent years shows that increasing the level of individual engagement in volunteer activities requires significant recruitment; but it also requires much work in addition to recruitment. Meeting the demand of individuals wanting to volunteer requires building capacity within nonprofit organizations and communities to support those volunteers, to match them with appropriate and meaningful opportunities, to train them to succeed, and to manage and reward their work. 4 U. S. Bureau of Labor Stati stics, 2004 Current Population Survey's (C PS) S uppl ~ me nt on Vo lunteering. Strategic Plan Improving Lives, Strengthening Communities, and Fos tering Civic Engagement 8 �The same research that established America's volunteer force as 64.5 million strong also identified another 29.4 million Americans with a history of volunteering. These former volunteers indicated they had not volunteered recently due to a variety of obstacles. As we move forward , our challenge will be to focus simultaneously on reaching out to more Americans to volunteer and, at the same time, to ensure that vo lunteers ' needs are fulfilled. Corporation programs have a strong history of invigorating and supporting community volunteers. We promote service for young people to gain valuable skills for work and school, for older Americans to stay active and healthy, and for people of all ages to broaden their service experience. Our Learn and Serve America programs introduce more than one million children and youth every year to the excitement of meeting community needs, with an eye toward putting them on the path to a lifetime of service. Our AmeriCorps members recruit, train , and supervise more than one million community volunteers each year. Our Senior Corps programs set the standard for experienced volunteers in thousands of communities across America . And our research shows that participants in Corporation programs leave the programs more likely to remain engaged in their communities for years to come, a nd to enter into public service careers . In addition, when nonprofit organizations were asked about what they most need to build a n infrastructure solid enough to support significant vo lunteering, a common response was a dedicated , stipended volunteer (someone like a n AmeriCorps member, a VISTA member, or a Senior Corps volunteer) to ma nage the other volunteers and support AmeriCorps*VISTA Making a Difference for People with Disabilities The Program: For more than 200 people in and around Ann Arbor, Michigan, help with tasks ranging from home repair to transportation is merely a phone call away, as long as the phone call is to the Washtenaw Talent Exchange. Participants in the Exchange register their requests with one of the four AmeriCorps*VIST A members running the year-old program of the Ann Arbor Center for Independent Living. The AmeriCorps*VIST A members then match the request for any one of about 300 tasks with the skills offered by participants. As Exchange participants join the service, they indicate what skills they can offer fellow participants. The Exchange participant who performs a task receives one service credit, called a Talent Share, for every hour spent in completing the assignment. In tum, that participant can use those shares for other services. The Results: Established by Edward Wollmann, the AmeriCorps*VIST A supervisor of the Ann Arbor Center for Independent Living, the Exchange has facilitated completion of I ,750 hours of service by individual participants-which means that participants have earned an additional 1,750 hours in service credits. Wollmann said the project could not function without the commitment and passion of the AmeriCorps*VIST A members, who match requests for service with the reg istered skills of other Exchange participants, conduct monthly social events that typically attract 50 to 75 Exc hange participants, input data on each Exchange participant's skills, and compile a monthly newsletter on the proj ect. Why It Works: Most participants in the Exchange, like the AmeriCorps*VISTA members who run the program, are di sabled . Joining the Exchan ge gives them a chance to use their skills- and teach them to oth ers- while receiving help in areas where they mi ght need some assistance, or like to learn. At the sa me time, the Exc hange reduces the isol ation th at people with di sabilities often ex perience.

We will engage more national service participants as vo lunteer coordinators. We will strengthen relationships with community volunteer connector organizations (such as volunteer centers) because they are dedicated to meeting the needs of volunteers and nonprofit groups by matching individuals with the appropriate opportunities to serve. These organizations also train nonprofit organizations to deepen the engagement of individual participants. Building on the progress from the President's call to service, ow efforts over the coming years will focus on six major areas: • Increasing vo lunteer recruitment, training, and support by AmeriCorps; • Ensuring that AmeriCorps*State and National ap.q VISTA extensively support the spectrum of community volunteer connector organizations; • Utilizing national service programs to cl.Qv~ a higher-leve l of volunteer infrastructure and expertise in smaller community organizations that fely on volunteers; • Better connecting faith-based organizations to coinmunity needs for volunteers; • Building the capacity of local C()mmunities to respond effectively to disasters; and • Using our national pl atform to recogniz~ volunteers. · By offering volunteers meaningful service opportunities, the Corporation and nonprofits across America will help strengthen volunteers' desire to continue their civic activities, thereby remaining connected to their communities. Following President Bush 's lead, we believe national and community service is an engine for developing active and engaged citizens, and the continuing strength of our democracy. Together, we can be the supply line for Amerip(!{ ~ ~rmies of compassion.

This "American dream" is the hallmark of our society and an insp iration to our citizens and the world. Unf011unately, for some of the most vulnerable yet promising of our nation 's population- our youth- the prospect of achieving the American dream is dim; however, if we work together- through faith-based, community, state, national , and local groups, we can provide our children and youth the opportunity to succeed. Many American children and youth need additional support. More than 35 percent of fourth graders and at least 25 percent of eighth graders cannot read at grade level. Approximately 15 percent of American children are living below the poverty level and almost 30 percent of children under age 18 are living in single parent or no parent homes. In 1960, fewer than 10 million children were not living with their fathers. Today, that number has increased to 25 million . Youth living in rural and distressed communities face tremendous challenges, making positive youth development difficult. Children and youth in at-risk environments are particularly susceptible to negative role models and behavior, and thus, have special challenges to overcome to reach their full potential. At-risk factors include some mix of the following: Neighborhoods with high poverty rates ; Prevalence of single-parent households; Below-grade level performance in school; Time spent in the juvenile system or in foster care; Mental and/or physical disabilities ; and Incarcerated parent(s). 1 Over two million children.have a parent who is incarcerated.

Since the creation of the White House Task Force on Disadvantaged Youth, the Bush Administration has strongly advocated for collaboration among federal agencies that affect the lives of disadvantaged youth . We also will leverage our national service resources to develop meaningful partnerships with our federal, state, and community youth service partners. We also support First Lady Laura Bush 's national priority of empowering youth, through which she highlights the need to reconnect youth with their families, schools and communities. Our goal is to meet the most pressing needs of youth, whether academic or behavioral , familial or social, while improving their lives though the opportunity to serve. As we have done for many years, we will continue to engage yo uth in national service and vo lunteering (as serv ice participants, volunteers an, serv ice recipients) through activities such as mentorin g, tutoring, and service-learning. While it is essential that our nation ensures a ll yo uth receive the serv ices necessary for their hea lthy transition into Strategic Plan Jm pm1•ing Lives. Strengthening Communities. and Fostering Ci1·ic Engagement 12 �adulthood , it is also important that our nation appreciates the benefits that youth engaged in service can provide. Over the next five years, the Corporation will engage over 3 million disadvantaged youth from at-risk environments in nationa l community service The Corporation will seek to meet the needs of our nation 's youth by: Providing mentors and streamlining mentoring services for the nation's youth (with special attention towards providing mentors for children of incarcerated parents); Engaging at-risk youth in meaningful service experiences; and Developing community volunteering to strengthen healthy youth connections wit family, schools, and community (including faith-based institutions). Young people need relationships with caring adults and positive service experiences to assist them in their successful transition to adulthood. Connections between youth and their families, schools, and communities (including faith-based organizations) create a strong social construct that enables youth to make healthy choices and avoid risky behaviors, such as drugs, alcohol , tobacco, promiscuity, and violence (as cited in the National Longitudinal Study on Adolescent Health). The Corporation will help to strengthen these positive connections for youth by generating volunteers and building community capacity. Children of prisoners are particularly in need of positive role models. To address this need, we will facilitate mentoring for l 00,000 children of prisoners, in support of the President's initiative. AmeriCorps*NCCC Member Helps Former Truant Succeed in School The boy's grandmother thought he had been going to school every morning when he left her home in Brooklyn's inner city. But he hadn't. For years, the youth who had come from another country to live with his grandma had been finding other ways to fill most of his days. He was painfully shy and not comfortable speaking English. His school-skipping pattern continued until he was 13 , and placed in the sixth grade in a school with crowded classes of 30-40 children per teacher. He couldn't keep up. Because of his reticence and language difficulties, some believed he might be mentally challenged. This is the youngster who was assigned to Kendra Moore in her first AmeriCorps venture last winter. She and her nine AmeriCorps team members were asked to help lagging students prepare for testing that would determine if they remained in sixth grade, or moved on to middle school. "It took a long time for him to trust me," says Kendra, 21. "He was scared of people. I started by teaching him the alphabet." She worked one-on-one with him and found that he was actually a rapid Ieamer. Gradually, he not only accepted her but tried hard to win her praise. At the end of six weeks, he had made marked improvement and Kendra was asked to make a recommendation on his behalf to the school board. She urged officials to provide continuing one-on-one instruction for him, "and they have."

" (Source: The Register-Guard (Eugene, OR), June 1, 2004) Without meaningful and coordinated intervention, a large population of American children (particularly children of incarcerated parents, children in foster care, children reading below grade level) will face increasingly insurmountable obstacles to becoming productive adults who are capable of maintaining employment, earning a sustainable wage, supporting a family, and positively contributing to their communities.

Servipe · Research indicates that high school students volunteer at a higher rate than college students. Although it is true that college students' participation in service is slightly higher than the adult average, it is also true that our efforts to engage college students could be far more robust. Since its inception, the Corporation for National and Community Service has built a strong network of relationships with higher education.

Over the next five years we will support colleges and universities in providing more service opportunities through the Federal Work Study program. In addition , we will encourage higher education institutions to offer more service-learning courses as well as more extra-curricular opportunities to serve. Strategic Plan Improving Lives, Strengthening Communities, and Fostering Civic Engagement 15 �We will build upon our relationship with institutions of higher education through our three major programs- Senior Corps, Learn and Serve America, and AmeriCorps- and over the next five years, we will use these partnerships to encourage greater integration of service into the academic mission of America's colleges and universities and increase support offered to those students who serve their communities. The Corporation offers significant benefits, in the form of AmeriCorps education awards and stipends, to members who commit to full or part-time service. We will continue to promote these and other benefits of service in an effort to increase students engaged in service by 40% over the next five years. We will work to ensure that at least half of all higher education institutions provide, or stimulate the creation of, resources to coordinate service, service-learning, and community partnerships. In order to foster greater service on college campuses over the next five years, we will: Strengthen and expand our network of intermediaries (Volunteer Centers, Campus Compact, State Service Commissions, national foundations and public service non-profits, faith-based and other community based organizations at the state, community, and campus level) that support service and service-learning; Reduce barriers that inhibit students from engaging in service (such as transportation, information, relationships with community agencies, lack of institutional support, etc.); Ensure that students have opportunities to serve as part of their academic studies through high-quality service-learning; Increase college students providing services to disadvantaged youth (including mentoring and tutoring); and Provide a national platform to promote the value and importance of service on campus. By supporting those educational institutions that make service an integral part of their academic mission and connect education to the needs of the local community, we will help to promote an ethic of service among America ' s youth. Bringing Service to the Classroom The Corporation's programs have been a catalyst for the growth of service-learning in our nation 's K-12 schools. In 1984, nine percent of schools offered service-learning opportunities. Today, service-learning reaches approximately 30 percent of all schools and the Corporation will work to build service-learning into the curriculum of half of all K-12 schools by 2010. We have worked to support service for young people both during the school day and in after school programs. Senior Corps, AmeriCorps, and Learn and Serve America have all provided support to student service. The U.S . Department of Education has made servicelearning a key feature of many of the programs it supports as well. The Corporation will build on this existing infrastructure to disseminate effective practices and spread servicelearning to new schools and districts. We will expand support for teacher education and Strategic Plan Impro ving Lives, Strengthening Communities, and Fostering Civic Engagement 16 �professional development programs that provide training in community partnership development and service-learning. In addition, we plan to pilot a new "summer of service" program for young teens that will also support effective training for educators. In order to incorporate service-learning in more K-12 schools, we will work toward the following goals over the next five years: • Identifying quality program models to highlight effective practices, increase visibility of service-learning, and evaluate the outcomes of service-learning; Expanding the number of How Servic~;_Lea.rning Works teachers, faculty, and school --~::::~,(' administrators using serviceThe importance of srnJI~JU~. engaging in volunteering and learning; service-learning 9Mfbe iliq§h~ted in the following Strengthening the value of analogy: an athletiH;raining"'f(?{~~sport.

Strategic Plan Improving Lives, Strengthening Communities, and Fostering Civic Engagement 17 �Harnessing Experience to ,1feet 2 t '' Centurl' Clwllenges Public discussions about America 's rapidly increasing demographic of older Americans too frequently focus solely on the greater costs to taxpayers of healthcare and retirement, lower economic productivity, and other concerns. However, there is another part of the equation that has not been told frequently enough: more Americans reaching the traditional retirement age means more people with experience, skills, and time to contribute toward solving some of our communities' and our nation ' s most intractable problems. America has an unprecedented opportunity to unleash a tremendous increase in civic engagement and volunteering in local communities. We believe that the aging of the Baby Boomer generation can produce a civic revolution that strengthens our communities and meets important 21st century challenges- if we act now. As a group, the 77 million Baby Boomers on the whole are better educated, have broad experiences and will live longer and healthier lives than any generation before them. If properly engaged, they could turn around some of our country ' s most challenging social problems and alleviate the volunteer sector's greatest recruiting challenge- finding volunteers during the workday . Picture communities where volunteers help improve the quality of life for increasing numbers of older Americans by helping them continue to live independently in their homes. Imagine how our society would be different if Boomers were deployed to ensure two million more pre-school children from impoverished neighborhoods were ready for school. Consider how mobilizing retired teachers could solve tutor shortages in depressed urban areas. George Ferguson, a retired Baby Boomer, started mentoring a seven-year-old boy through the Grandfathers Group, an RSVP project in Alexandria, Virginia. The child worried about how long Ferguson would be available. Five years later, Ferguson is still mentoring the same child. We are standing at the dawn of a new era if we can successfully recruit Boomers into community service; but that cultural shift will require great effort. Making full use of Boomers ' experience will take strategic and extended commitments from nonprofit groups, business, and government, with each group offering unique and attractive opportunities, such as creating flexible work schedules for Boomers who volunteer. • 'ir •• ~:.,.- ....

Many Boomers are still working; others are retired , or semi-retired. They have an array of in-depth knowledge about and experiences in law, medicine, teaching, managing a home, small business operations and many other areas. They can be a valuable resource to strengthen nonprofits and the clients they serve. The Corporation is focused on creating the right service opportunities that both engage the large number of Boomers who currently volunteer as well as motivate non-volunteers who are looking for the time and the opportunity to make a difference in their communities. Strategic Plan Improving Lives. Strengthening Conunun ities. and Fostering Civic Engagement 18 �In addition to helping solve community needs, service offers important benefits for Boomer volunteers. Research tells us that Boomers are different from the population of older Americans who currently volunteer in their communities. First, Boomers tend to respond more positively to articulations of the benefits to themselves, including personal fulfillment, excitement, social opportunities, or opportunities to learn something new. Second, they generally respond more favorably to flexible opportunities, such as those that allow for full-time, part-time, or episodic service. They also respond to service that meets their personal interests and to opportunities that demonstrate visible benefits to the community. Consequently, we must support programs and institutions that effectively engage these Boomers. l To meet the challenge of engaging the vast number of~he coming;);vave of baby boomers in service to their communities, we need to: o.,v • '· ~- + Encourage a significant cultural shift in the thihJqng oftliep P,!JProfit sector in how groups use volunteers, and help nonprofits..ct~'a!e ineaningfol":ppportunities for service · M·:r.::~:,:, by the coming wave ofBaby Boomers; .tt;··; + Secure commitments from the busir!fifii~.e.tor to expand voluntee;-~~~'grams, offer flexible work options to Boomer employitii:s;~ andeiintmce notions ofgood corporate citizenship; -~:I:ii:i!E-":""·:-- -·~+- • Give an appropriate role td,:;g0_yernment, includ~ffJ;barging the Corporation for National and Community Se'fiiif#~Ctilh bringing Baby Boomers into prominence in America's civic activities·, and'-;..• .,,,~;;;,;;;:;:;;,,. . · ·.;; -" ... ...,.....

Currently most of the volunteers age 55 and over who participate in Corporation supported activities serve through Senior Corps programs: RSVP, Senior Companion Program (SCP) and Foster Grandparent Program (FGP). Boomers (who by the end of 2005 will be ages 41 through 59) also serve in AmeriCorps*VIST A and AmeriCorps*State and National. Over the next five years, the Corporation will build on its experience recruiting Boomers in national service programs by: 1) assessing how the skills of this group can be tapped, 2) strengthening our support for engaging Boomers in Senior Corps programs, 3) exploring strategies for increasing the participation of Boomers in AmeriCorps, and 4) encouraging collaboration between Senior Corps and AmeriCorps in promoting service and volunteerism among Baby Boomers as they reach the traditional retirement age. By changing how nonprofits view and use volunteers and pioneering alternative models of service, we wi II take full advantage of Baby Boomers ' talents, skills and experience and make tomorrow better for people of all ages. National Targets for 2010 • More than 28.7 million baby boomers engage in volunteering Strategic Plan Imp ro ving Lives. Strengthening Communities. and Fostering Civic Engagement 19 �Corporation Targets for 2010 • 500,000 Boomers engage in Corporation programs as participants and recruited volunteers • Ensure at least 75 percent of Boomers in Senior Corps and AmeriCorps rate their overall service/volunteer experience as excellent • Ensure at least 75% of Baby Boomer volunteers in Senior Corps and AmeriCorps believe programs have given them a significant chance to bring about change in their community • More than 250,000 seniors receive (through service and volunteering) support from Corporation programs to live independently • I 00,000 families and caregivers of seniors receive support from Corporation programs Strategic Plan Improving Lives. Strengthening Communities, and Fostering Civic Engagement 20 �ACHIEVING MANAGEMENT EXCELLENCE The Corporation has implemented an aggressive plan to achieve management excellence. As we continue to improve our management systems, achieve greater accountability and efficiency, and meet the needs of our customers, we will increase our capacity to affect positive change in organizations and increase our grantees' and partners' ability to meet local community needs. Expand Program and Project Quality The Corporation has embarked on a multi-faceted approach to improving program and project quality . As the Corporation continues to move toward an enhanced, perfonnancebased grants management system, we will use a competitive process to select highquality programs. We will support a variety of organizations capable of developing successful programs and generating increased volunteer capacity. We will conduct and support outreach to faith-based and community organizations that are not presently receiving Corporation resources, in order to increase grant competitiveness and build a pipeline of high quality and diverse applicants in all grant competitions. The Corporation will also be more responsive to state and local needs. We will further enhance knowledge management by engaging and sharing meaningful research and evaluation efforts to identify effective program practices, societal trends, and areas for program improvement. We will promote knowledge sharing internally and externally and invest in the skills and capabilities of our service partners. By investing in a continuous culture of learning, we will strengthen management and program performance. We will also provide more tools and opportunities for the replication of successful service models and accelerate innovation in program models during competitions and pilot ideas that can later be embraced by our core programs. Cultivate a Culture o[Per(ormance, and Accountability To strengthen the Corporation's performance and accountability, we will enhance our administrative and evaluation systems, fully utilize technology, and grow the value of national service dollars ; We will conduct more targeted and in-depth monitoring and analysis of our grantee programmatic and fiscal performance. In order to achieve greater management effectiveness, the we will more fully integrate more rigorous performance metrics into management analyses and program operations, assessing and, where necessary, revamping systems for capturing, aggregating, and analyzing data that impact administrative operations and programs. We will also better integrate and streamline grant-making functions and Trust operations to produce strong management results. Through increased investment in technological data management systems such as e-Grants, and capturing data in one central and userfriendly location (the Data Warehouse), we will develop and sustain more valuable data that is readily accessible. This will allow employees and partners to perform more efficiently and effectively. The Corporation also supports various forms of sustainability. Through strategic grant-making and more targeted capacity-building, we will provide local organizations with the tools to increase the current $300 million dollars in nonCorporation funds annually leveraged to $2.5 billion dollars over the next five years . We believe these funds will mean more Americans meeting more needs in more Strategic Plan Impro ving Lives. Strengthening Communities. and Fostering Civic Engagement 21 �communities. Deliver Exemplary Customer Service Over the next five years, we will work towards becoming a federal government leader in customer service. lt is important to us that we engage in continuous open dialogue with our grantees and other resource recipients, staff, community constituents, and other stakeholders, as well as eliminate any undue burden upon these groups that makes accomplishing their goals a challenge. This process will allow us to better serve everyone with whom we communicate as they continue meeting the needs of those they serve. We recognize that the road ahead will be challenging, but we will actively gauge how well we are doing in providing exemplary customer service 9 . As we continue to improve our relationships with constituents and partners, we will listen and respond to our customers ' feedback to ensure that our communication and responses are transparent. Build a Diverse, Energized, and High-performing Workforce The Corporation recognizes that our staff is our most valuable asset, and thus, we seek to employ a diverse, energized, and high-perfonning workforce. In order to achieve that objective, we will work to strengthen workforce diversity at all levels, reward high performers, be more responsive to and supportive of employees, provide more opportunities for professional growth, and more effectively utilize the range of employee skills. We believe our improved human capital strategies will help us foster greater employee satisfaction, enhance our performance culture, and ultimately transforn1 the agency into one of the best places to work in the federal government. Effective communication is key to successful management; therefore, we will work to ensure that key organizational decisions receive appropriate attention through dialogue between managers, staff, and the broader service network. We will incorporate feedback systems, providing staff with opportunities to be heard and with the assurance that their ideas will be incorporated into the decision process for developing management and administrative strategies. Furthermore, we will engage in ongoing communication with and through our Diversity Advisory Council and our Union to help ensure that those decisions are fair and appropriate. The Corporation aspires to become a successful learning organization . To do this, we will encourage the sharing of both knowledge and skills and produce reliable information management database systems. These elements are key to positioning the Corporation as a successful knowledge management organization. We will also provide more opportunities for staff to enhance their professional and interpersonal skills. We will provide the requisite training to augment staff knowledge in critical areas, facilitate the collaboration with issue area experts in conducting evaluations of programs, and foster " affinity groups" for programs working on the same issues. We strongly believe that proper investment in our employees leads to higher-yielding performance. To support this effort, we will reward higher-performing employees, ensuring that compensation is appropriately tied to performance. 9 Th e average sco re currentl y is 7 1.

This portion of the funding will go to "Rebuilding Funds" established by the Corporation for National Community Service and Hands On Network. These organizations will regrant funds to nonprofit organizations and manage volunteer-driven rebuilding projects for community facilities, such as schools, senior and community centers, and parks. Mercy Medical Airlift receives a $134,000 grant supplement to support Volunteer pilots to undertake medical and search and rescue missions in states affected by the hurricane. American Radio Relay League receives a $100,000 supplemental grant to support emergency communications operators who are helping out in the Gulf Coast States affected by the Hurricane. 50 members of the AmeriCorps National Civilian Community Corps (NCCC) from the Northeast campus in Perry Point, Md., flew into Montgomery, Ala. Four members are in Montgomery to support a response technology center; 19 members are supporting shelters in Biloxi, Miss.; 15 members are supporting shelters in Pascagoula, Miss.; and 12 members are supporting shelters in Mobile, Ala. An additional 46 members will be deployed this week bringing the total to 96 NCCC members from the Northeast region. 22 AmeriCorps NCCC members from the Central Region campus in Denver, Colo., are currently assisting the American Red Cross at their call centers in Denver. At least 39 AmeriCorps members from the National Preparedness and Response Corps, a program of the American Red Cross, are supporting efforts either on-site in Mass Care activities or at their "host" chapters, where they are manning call centers. AmeriCorps* VISTA Leaders from Red Cross projects in Iowa, Ohio, and elsewhere have been deployed to the affected region by the American Red Cross. A number of AmeriCorps*VISTA members are assisting relief efforts in Alabama and Louisiana.

The following summarizes the most significant issues in the new rule: Sustainability and Federal Share The new rule has the following six main elements related to sustainability: 1. Incorporates the broad spectrum of sustainability criteria throughout the Corporation's grant selection criteria. 2. Increases the weight of cost-effectiveness in the selection criteria, and makes an applicant's budgeted Corporation cost per member service year (MSY) a more meaningful factor in the selection process. In evaluating cost effectiveness, the Corporation will take into account the goals, performance outcomes, and the individual circumstances of programs and the communities in which they operate, thereby considering both costs and benefits. 3. Increases the grantee share of program costs based on a predictable and incremental schedule to a SO percent overall level by the lOth year in which an organization receives an AmeriCorps operational grant for the same program. Programs that cannot meet these requirements and that are located in rural or severely economically distressed areas may apply for permission to meet an alternative match requirement which would increase the grantee share of program costs to a 35 percent overall level by the 10th year. 4. Requires state commissions to develop and implement a sustainability approach as part of their oversight function. 5. Targets a percentage of non-continuation AmeriCorps state and national grant funds each year for new applicants. 6. Provides technical support to assist programs in meeting the increasing match requirements. Grant Selection Criteria The new rule adjusts the Corporation's grant selection criteria to meet three objectives: 1. To better align the selection criteria with elements that predict program success; OGC/063005 �2. To incorporate into the selection criteria greater emphasis on sustainability; and 3. To provide transparency, predictability, and consistency for organizations applying for AmeriCorps funds. The new rule clearly describes the Corporation's grant review process, and sets out the following basic criteria that the Corporation would apply in reviewing an application for AmeriCorps funding: • • • Program Design, which would count for 50 percent of the score (down from 60 percent currently), including: o The rationale for and approach of the proposed program; o The member-related outputs and outcomes; and o The community-related outputs and outcomes. Organizational Capability, which would remain at its current 25 percent weight, and Cost-Effectiveness and Budget Adequacy, which would count for 25 percent (up from 15 percent currently). The new rule requires state commissions to rank the state competitive proposals they submit to the Corporation . Cost per Member Service Year (MSY) (formerly Cost per FTE) Cost per MSY for Individual Programs • • The new rule quantifies an individual program's Corporation cost per MSY as the budgeted grant costs divided by the number of member MSYs awarded in the grant (excluding child care and the AmeriCorps Education Award) The Corporation will consider granting program requests to increase their Corporation cost per MSY up to any percentage increase in their previous year's minimum AmeriCorps member living allowance. Average Cost per MSY for State Commissions • • Average cost per MSY for state commissions will be the budgeted grant costs for all the AmeriCorps programs in the commission's portfolio divided by the total number of MSYs in the commission's portfolio of AmeriCorps programs, including Education Award programs (excluding child care, the AmeriCorps Education Award, and the commission administrative grants). The Corporation will review the maximum average cost per MSY annually with the increase in the member living allowance and other changes to program costs in mind. Corporation cost per member service year (MSY) is also included as one indicator of cost-effectiveness in the selection criteria. Member Service Activities OGC/063005 �The new rule largely codifies and clarifies the Corporation's current guidelines and grant provisions on member service activities and capacity-bu ilding . Specifically, the new rule clarifies that AmeriCorps members may: • • Perform direct service activities, and Engage in other activities that build the organizational and financial capacity of nonprofit organizations and communities, including volunteer recruitment and certain fundraising activities. In add ition: • • Generally, grantees must include volunteer recruitment in their program design unless unfeasible AmeriCorps members may engage in fundraising directly in support of service activities for up to 10% of their term of service Tutoring Requirements The new rule: • • • • • • Confirms that the qualification requirements for tutors and other paraprofessionals under the No Child Left Behind Act apply only to tutors who are considered employees of the Local Education Agency or school under state law, but do not apply to AmeriCorps members serving as tutors under the sponsorship of an organization other than the school district. Narrowly defines "tutor" for purposes of the regulations to include only individuals whose primary goal is to increase academic achievement in reading or other core subjects through planned, consistent, one-to-one or small-group reading , or other small-group sessions, that build on students' academic strengths and target students' academic needs. Requires a member serving as a tutor (other than one considered under NCLB to be employed by the LEA or school) either: o To have a high school diploma (or its equivalent), or o To pass a proficiency test that the grantee has determ ined effective in ensuring that the member has the necessary skills to serve as a tutor. Requires a member serving as a tutor (other than one employed by the LEA or school) to successfully complete any pre- and in-service specialized training required by the program. Requires tutoring programs to show competency to provide tutoring service through their recruitment, specialized training, performance measures, and supervision . Does not impose new requirements on members engaged in supplemental academic support activities whose primary goal is something other than increasing academic achievement. For example, providing a safe place for children after school is not tutoring, even if some of the program activities focus on homework help . State Commission Flexibility to Operate National Service Programs The Corporation 's current regu lations prohibit state comm issions from directly operating any national service program receiving Corporation assistance . The new OGC/063005 �rule relaxes this current restriction by prohibiting state commissions from directly operating only AmeriCorps subtitle C grant programs and Senior Corps programs. Performance Measures and Evaluation The new rule: • • • • Codifies current Corporation requirements for performance measures; Requires at least one set of aligned measures (one output, one intermediate outcome, and end outcome) on the program's primary area of activity; Requires independent evaluations to large state competitive and direct grantees; and Requires internal evaluations from smaller and EAP grantees.

GRANHOLM, Governor MICHIGAN COMMUNITY SERVICE COMMISSION 1048 Pierpont, Suite 4 Lansing, Michigan 4891 3 Telephone : 517.335.4295 FAX: 517.373.4977 www.michigan .gov/mcsc Chairperson Daniel G. Mulhern Executive Di rector Janet Lawson MEMORANDUM TO: Members of the Michigan Community Service Commission Executive Committee FROM: Janet Lawson, Executive Director DATE: September 7, 2005 RE: Summary of August 26,2005 Meeting The following is a summary of the meeting of the Michigan Community Service Commission Executive Committee held via conference call on Friday, August 26, 2005 . The meeting was called to order at 10:00 a.m. Members present: Daniel Mulhern, Chair; Russ Mawby and Meg Smith. Staff present: Janet Lawson, Janice Harvey, and Joan Bowman. Retreat and Board Meeting Agenda Janet Lawson went through the agenda for the September 22-23 Board Meeting and Retreat. There will be several new Commissioners at the meeting. In the past, we have held New Commissioner Orientation prior to the meeting starting. One-on-one meetings will be scheduled with each of the new Commissioners after the board meeting to go through orientation materials. Staff will report out on goals from the last year and Commissioner goals will be discussed. Russ Mawby suggested that the goals should focus around the board mission which is related to volunteerism. He gave three suggestions: 1. Join forces with United Way. How can we collaborate with United Way on volunteerism and mentoring. 2. Look at where we are with volunteer centers. We also have community foundations in every area of the state. By working with United Way and the community foundations there is a potential to have volunteer centers in every community. Working with CMA and VCM, there should be a goal to have volunteer centers statewide. Campus Compact can get students engaged in community service. Albion College, for �example, is initiating a mentoring program for their students. Every college should be members of Campus Compact. 3. Work with Learning to Give which is putting experience ofvolunteering in K-12 education. Russ has agreed to speak at the Retreat on these issues. Staff Recommendations for Learn & Serve School-Based Funding Angelia Salas gave background on the applications that were received and explained the three categories of funding (implementation, institutionalization, and ISD/Higher Education partnerships). The MCSC received 25 renewal applications. The staff reviewed the 25 applications and are recommending al125 for funding. Members reviewed the staff recommendations outlined in a memo from Paula Kaiser dated August 24, 2005 . Chairman Mulhern asked for a motion to support the staff recommendations for the Learn and Serve-Michigan School-Based grants. Commissioner Mawby moved to support the motion and Commissioner Smith seconded the motion. The motion passed unanimously. Update on MCSC Initiatives Janet Lawson gave an update on the MCSC funding. The legislature has not met yet on the budget. Several Commissioners will be leaving the MCSC this year due to term limits. The Executive Committee is losing two members (Vivian Pickard and Meg Smith) so new members will need to be appointed. There were four regional Mentor Michigan Training Sessions around the state held over the last two month where standards for mentoring programs were discussed. Ms. Lawson shared that John Hancock will be giving Mentor Michigan $100,000 each year for the next 2 years and the Detroit Pistons will be participating during Mento ring Month in January. Ken Bensen and Janet Lawson have also met and will be working on a mentoring program for Habitat volunteers. There is also discussion with Oakland University and the Michigan' s Women Commission for an e-mentoring program. Janet went over the GSA Financial Summary and the Executive Committee supported the recommendations for the proceeds. The meeting was adj oumed at 11: 10 am. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

The review found one finding that they considered to be a reportable condition for inclusion in the audit report. The finding was that DLEG's (MCSC) controls over the AmeriCorps program did not ensure compliance with the federal laws and regulations regarding matching, level of effort, and earmarking and subrecipient monitoring. We do agree with the fact that a small number of our programs did not meet the match required of them in the grant document but we disagree with the finding listed above. All of our programs do in fact meet and exceed the minimum federal matching requirement. The finding that the auditor noted in the report was on MCSC's required match. This match is determined by the number of years that an AmeriCorps program has been in existence. In some cases, programs are required by MCSC to provide 95% match in part of the grant. This is well above the required federal match of33%. As part of our overall grant administration, MCSC monitors the match level through the year and works closely with the programs to ensure that the required federal match is met. However, in some cases the program cannot meet the higher state required match for any number of reasons and will ask for a lower match amount. MCSC as the grant administrator can and does make match adjustments for programs when they have a valid reason for not meeting the state match �Mr. Allen Williams Page Two April29,2005 requirement. In no cases, is a program allowed to match below the required federal amount. MCSC has been issuing AmeriCorps grants for over 10 years and has followed this process. It has been our policy to address the final match issues as part of the close out as many programs wait until the end of the grant year to count all the match (in-kind and administrative). As a result of this proposed finding, MCSC has made some adjustments to its current procedures, which will address the match concerns earlier in the grant year to help avoid any future match issues. MCSC will also work with our federal granting agency to clarify the match issue variance process. Both the Deputy Director and the Director of Finance and Administration will now be required to approve any match variances between the state and federal requirements and also the final close out packet. After reviewing our responses, you can see that while MCSC does need to tighten some controls to ensure that our AmeriCorps Programs meet our graduated state match amounts, the program did meet all federal match requirements and is not a reportable condition. If you have any questions on this response or need any further information, please contact either Paula Kaiser Van Dam at (517) 373-1376 or Garry Gross at (517) 373-8028. �Finding Number: Finding Title: 640511 AmeriCorps, CFDA 94.006 Management Views: We partially agree with the finding and have complied with the recommendation. We contend that the program met the minimum federal match percentages. Corrective Action: For part a., we have adjusted our procedures to address match concerns earlier in the grant year to help avoid any future match issues. We will continue to work with our federal granting agency to clarify the match issue variance process. Both the Michigan Community Service Commission (MCSC) Deputy Director and the Director of Finance and Administration are now required to approve any match variances between the state and federal requirements and the final close out packet. For part b. , MCSC has hired a second AmeriCorps Program Officer which has enabled it to monitor all programs and verify member eligibility prior to enrollment. Also, the program officers now verify the certification sheets in their review of the programs. Completion Dates: Part a. March 31 , 2005; part b.
