We have received a two-year commitment from John Hancock for $150,000, a $10 ,000 contribution from Siemens, and $50,000 from the Detroit Auto Dealers Association . Quality Program Standards The Mentor Michigan and its Providers Council believe it is vital for Michigan's mentoring programs to operate with the highest possible quality. The following are components that we believe should be in place in order for a child to receive beneficial and productive results from a mentoring relationship. These standards include, but are not limited to, the definition of mentoring, recruitment and retention of mentors and mentees, and screening, training, and evaluation of mentors and program staff. Additionally, the standards address issues around resource and organizational development so mentoring programs are sustained over time. Currently, the standards are in draft form but will be finalized at the Provider's Council Retreat in October. Standard 1: DEFINITION OF MENTORING Mentoring is an ongoing , structured relationship with a trusted individual aimed at • developing the character and competence of the mentee. • Consistent contact between mentee and mentor for a minimum of one calendar year (or academic year) . • 4-10 hours together each month . • Group mentoring -ratio of no more than 4:1 . Standard 2: RECRUITMENT PLAN • The program has a comprehensive recruitment plan for mentors and mentees and a system for follow-up and enrollment. Standard 3: ELIGIBILITY SCREENING • The program screens mentors and mentees for eligibility. Standard 4: ORIENTATION AND TRAINING • The program provides each mentor, mentee, and parenUguardian of mentee orientation and training . • Trained staff or volunteers conduct these sessions, which are held prior to the match . Standard 5: MATCHING STRATEGY • The program has a well-documented matching strategy. STANDARD 6: MATCH MONITORING PROCESS The program maintains and implements a process that monitors matches. • Standard 7: MENTOR SUPPORT, RECOGNITION, AND RETENTION • The program supports the mentoring relationships, recognizes volunteers, and has strategies for volunteer retention .

First Gentleman Mulhern lead discussions about program standards designed by and specifically for Michigan-based mentoring programs . Attendees also had an opportunity to learn how to use the information from Wave II of the Mentor Michigan Census to gain support for their organization. Workshops were also held on supporting and retaining mentors , using current mentors to recruit new mentors , fundrais ing , and protecting the safety and security of the kids we serve . Overall 240 participants were involved in these regional meetings including : 85 in Detroit, 31 in Saginaw, 37 in Marquette and 87 in Muskegon. Upcoming Provider's Council Retreat The Providers Council advises Mentor Michigan about mentoring activities and needs around the state. The council serves as an advisory body to the Michigan Community Service Commission (MCSC). The council consists of 20 individuals that represent diverse mentoring programs , organ izations , and collaborations from around the state . The following are currently represented on the council: community-based programs, school-based programs, workplace mentoring programs, local mentoring collaboratives, Volunteer Centers, and National Service programs . At the Provider's Council Retreat on October 17 and 18 the agenda includes : finalizing the standards , planning for training based on the census and setting committee goals. Mentor Michigan AmeriCorps The ConnectMichigan All iance is hosting the Mentor Michigan AmeriCorps program , which will place 34 full-time AmeriCorps members in mentoring programs throughout the state. From November 2005- November 2006 Mentor Michigan AmeriCorps Members will increase the development of the state's youth mentoring infrastructure by supporting mentoring initiatives at the local and regional levels . The primary role of the MMA Members will be to improve the quality of existing youth mentoring programs by enhancing, developing and implementing systems to effectively recruit, screen , train and support mentors and their mentees. In addition, members should focus on helping sites meet the Mentor Michigan Quality Program Standards.

Michigan nonprofits include foundations, educational institutions, theaters, churches, food banks, hospitals and more. As individuals provide 76.3% of contributions in the country (Giving USA, 2003), and organizations rely heavily on volunteers to assist organizations, it is important to understand the current economic and sociological trends of individual giving and volunteering. To learn about the habits of these important people, 990 Michigan residents were surveyed in the fall of 2003 on their giving, volunteering and opinions regarding a few key public policy issues. Conducted by the Office of Survey Research in the Institute for Public Policy and Social Research at Michigan State University, this survey was sponsored by the ConnectMichigan Alliance, Council of Michigan Foundations, Michigan Community Service Commission and the Michigan Nonprofit Association. In addition to highlights from the survey, this publication provides additional information on Michigan nonprofits, foundations and national and community service programs. If you would like more information about the nonprofit sector, or if you wish to view this document online, please visit the Michigan Nonprofit Association's Web site at www.mnaonline.org. Also, contact information for each of the sponsors is listed inside the back cover. Kyle Caldwell, Michigan Community Service Commission Rob Collier, Council of Michigan Foundations John Lore, ConnectMichigan Alliance Sam Singh, Michigan Nonprofit Association �Individual Giving and Volunteering 2003 Michigan Gives! In 2003, eight out of ten Michigan residents contributed to charity (79.5%), a consistent level for the state in recent years. The one exception was the high level of giving (89.1%) after the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001. • The number of women (83.1%) making contributions continued to exceed the number of men (75.1%). The gender gap in giving has grown over the past three years, from a gap of 0.5 points in 2001 to 5.3 points in 2002 and 8.0 points in 2003. Charitable Contributions 2001-2003 0 20 40 60 80 PERCENT • 2001 2002 • 2003 In 2003, respondents were asked how much they had contributed to charity during the year. Of those surveyed, 770 provided details on how much they had contributed. Twentysix per cent of those who disclosed amounts of gifts did not make a financial contribution. The most common levels of giving were for less than $250 (18.4%), followed by those giving $1,000-2,499 (16.2%). Of the 570 respondents who made a financial contribution, the average contribution during the year was $1,453. Total·············· Female Male ------------- Compared with past years, the major change has been the drop in the rate of giving by younger residents, those 29 years old and younger. Also evident is a drop in the percentage of giving by those aged over 60 years. In 2003, giving by those aged over 60 years was at more than 80%, compared to 96.4% in 2001 and 84% in 2002. This recent experience suggests that the numbers of residents making charitable contributions has dropped for those at the start and end of their working lives, and is strongest for those in the middle of their careers. Charitable Contributions 2003 100 $0 $1-$249 $250-$499 $500-$749 Giving varied by age groups, with the highest rates for those in the 30-39 year (91.8%), 50-59 year (87.9%), and over 60 years (more than 80%) age groups. $750-$999 $1000-$2499 $2500- $4999 $5000- $8000 0 20 10 30 PERCENT Giving & Volunteering 1 �Respondents were asked about expected changes in charitable contributions for the coming year. For 2004, two-thirds of respondents expect their giving to remain the same, with 15.3% planning to give more and 17.1% expecting to give less. Giving plans are similar for men and women, with women slightly more likely to give the same or more. In terms of income, the groups expecting to increase giving range from 8-18% with the lowest income category showing the highest level of those planning to give more (33.3%). • When plans for giving are presented by age, those under 50 years are more likely to increase giving, although these age categories also show the highest levels for those planning to give less. When asked about plans for giving m the next year, the age categories showing t he least change are respondents aged 60 and older. Michigan Volunteers! In 2003, almost half of those surveyed reported volunteering (46.1%). This level represents a return to historic levels after a drop in volunteering to one third of those surveyed in 2002. • While almost half of those surveyed volunteered in 2003, nearly 60% reported having volunteered at some time in their life. • Women volunteer more often than men, with 52.1% of women volunteering and 39.3% of men. Over the past three years, the gender gap in volunteering has changed from women being one point higher in 2001 , to men being almost two points higher in 2002 and women being 12.8· points higher in 2003. 2 Giving & Volunteering Volunteered in 2003 Total Female ------ Male 0 10 20 30 40 50 PERCENT .2001 . 2002 VOLUNTEER . 2003 CENTERS OF MICHIG<;QN Interested in Volunteering?

To provide some context for Michigan's experience in terms of the nation, the following comparisons can be made. In 2003, a statewide survey of Michigan residents found almost 80% of households making a charitable contribution. This cornpares to a rate of 89% nationally, calculated by Independent Sector from 2001 survey data (the latest data available). It is important to note that Michigan had a similar rate to the national level in the aftermath of the terrorist attacks of 9/11. The 2003 Michigan survey found an average household contributed $1,453 compared to a national level of $1,620 using 2001 data from Independent Sector. Volunteering appears stronger in Michigan than the nation, with 2003 data showing 46.1% of those surveyed having volunteered. This compares to a national rate of 28.8% from a survey by the Bureau of Labor Statistics in fall 2003.

Nonprofit Sector and Public Policy Giving and Volunteering in Michigan and U.S. 0 • • • 100 The decisions of policyrnakers impact the nonprofit sector in many ways. Most obviously, policyrnakers determine levels of funding and oversight for Michigan organizations. However, state government also sets policies that impact the number of individuals that volunteer. For the purpose of this survey, participants were asked questions regarding their views on volunteerisrn as a graduation requirement and the practice of rnentoring. �Graduation Requirements With growing participation in volunteering by young people and the inclusion of service learning in the school system, the survey asked if volunteering should be a graduation requirement for Michigan high schools. More than half of those surveyed (52.3%) agreed that volunteering should be required. Women (62.2%) were more supportive than men (41.1%) of a volunteer requirement for graduation. More than half of white (52.9%) and Hispanic (52.2%) respondents supported a graduation requirement, with slightly less than half of African American (45.6%) respondents in agreement. About half of aU people, regardless of political background, agreed that volunteering should be a graduation requirement. Support for Volunteering as Graduation Requirement 2003 Mento ring Mentoring is an important responsibility in Michigan with many residents likely to become a mentor in the future. When asked about having ever served as mentor, 43.2% of those surveyed replied positively. Women (45.6%) were more likely than men (40.5%) to have been a mentor in the past. Most likely to have been a mentor were African Americans (66.7%), followed by Hispanic (50%) respondents and white (39.8%) residents. The survey then asked about willingness to serve as a mentor in the future if a statewide mentoring program were developed. The general response was positive, with 61.3% very likely or somewhat likely to be a mentor (16.5% very likely and 44.8% somewhat likely).

As partners to government and business, nonprofits serve as critical community stewards of education, human services, health care, arts and humanities, the environment, religion and more. Without these necessary organizations, the quality of life in Michigan communities would be seriously damaged. Luckily, Michigan families, policymakers and businesses have a long tradition of supporting nonprofits. In addition to the large number of Michiganians that volunteer to assist organizations fulfill their missions, the sector employs more than 300,000 individuals that contribute to the state's economy. However, a major challenge for the sector today is declining resources. Although the percentage of those giving has remained stable and the percentage of Michigan residents volunteering has increased, funding from government, foundations and businesses has decreased. This decline of available resources for Michigan communities results from a weakened economy producing a state budget crisis and decreased stock portfolios for both businesses and foundations. As the economy worsens, however, Michigan nonprofits are being asked to do more with less. Hence, as government explores a program to mandate volunteerism in high schools, government must work with the nonprofit sector to ensure that nonprofits have the capacity and resources to provide meaningful volunteer experiences. Thus, as students become young adults, they will continue serving their communities in the future. 6 G:ving & Volunteering Foundation Giving at a Glance Michigan is ranked 11th in the nation in the number of grantmaking foundations. The nearly 2,000 private, family, corporate, and community foundations annually grant over $1 billion to nonprofit organizations in Michigan, nationally and internationally. In addition, our state is yth in the nation for foundation giving. Michigan is also yth as a percent of gross state product and gth in foundation giving per capita. Michigan's tradition of organized giving continues with the state certifying articles of incorporation for more than 100 new foundations during the past year. In addition, the 65 community foundations and their 30 affiliates serving all 83 counties continue to grow through the creation of new donor advised funds and contributions to field of interest funds and unrestricted gifts. To learn more about community foundations or how to create a grantmaking foundation, visit www.cmif.org. While foundation giving is small when compared to the scale of individual giving, grantmaking foundations are one of the state's jewels, providing leadership in the areas of early childhood development, AIDS, tobacco use reduction and education, and land use - to name a few of the key issues addressed. Because data for 2003 are still being collected, the following chart reflects 71% of the total giving reported by all Michigan foundations in 2002. As has been true historically, giving to education, human services and public affairs/ society benefit remain the top three major subject areas receiving foundation dollars. The Foundation Center in New York, the nation's source for data on foundation giving, estimates that giving in 2003 has been two to three percent below the 2002 levels due to the impact of the stock market on foundation assets. However, a modest growth in foundation giving is projected in 2004. �Grant Distribution by Major Custom Subject Categories for Michigan Foundations, circa 2002* Subject Amount % No. Arts, Culture & Humanities $81,317,010 9.2 528 Education 202,413,043 23.0 1,129 76,411,681 8.7 320 76,518,293 8.7 521 194,739,959 22.1 1,130 13,414,666 1.5 120 211,891,323 24.1 1,323 19,298,011 2.2 195 4,955,413 0.6 6 $880,959,399 100.0 5,272 Environment/Animals Health Human Services International/Foreign Affairs Public Affairs/Society Benefit Religion Other Total Source: The Foundation Center, 2004. * The Foundation Center's grants sample database (circa 2002) includes grants of $10,000 or more awarded to organizations by a sample of 1,005 larger foundations.

Angelia Salas, Michigan Community Service Commission Amy Srnitter, Michigan Campus Compact Jeanine Yard, Michigan Community Service Commission 1 �I. Welcome and Introduction - Chairperson Mulhern The meeting was called to order at 9:15a.m. by Chairperson Mulhern and he welcomed everyone to the meeting. Janet Lawson introduced Evan Albert, the new State Director for Michigan for the Corporation for National and Community Service (CNCS). II. Review and Approval of February 11, 2005 Minutes- Chairperson Mulhern A couple areas of the minutes were discussed. The first area was on page four and Commissioners discussed having Congressman McCotter attend the next board meeting. He was not available but will be invited to attend a future meeting. The second area discussed was also from page four and referred to Chairman Mulhern's recommendation that at the next board meeting there would be a discussion on the relationship between the State Board of Education and the MCSC. He announced that there is a new Superintendent and that once he comes on board, we will have this discussion. Chairperson Mulhern asked for a motion to approve the minutes from the February 11, 2005 board meeting. Commissioner Parker moved to approve the minutes, Commissioner Mawby seconded the motion. The motion passed unanimously. III. Learn & Serve Presentation Angelia Salas introduced representatives from L'Anse Creuse. Emma De' Angelis, a Service Learning Coordinator for the district, explained that their district has a service requirement of 40 hours. The community has embraced the idea that service is a part of life. The program started in 1992. Ann Hart, also a Service Learning Coordinator for the district, gave background on how their service-learning program began. Currently, every curriculum area at their schools have a service learning project. At least 50% of the high school teachers are using service learning in their classroom. Over 75% oflast year's graduating class had service learning experience. IV. Mentor Michigan A. Census II Results - Bob Kahle presented the Mentor Michigan Census Wave II results. The objectives of the census were to identify and track mentoring organizations, the programs they operate and the number of kids they match with mentors. The MCSC also wants to understand the program components, the needs of the mento ring organizations, and to encourage and support evaluation. He explained the "funnel" and how to build the mentoring movement in Michigan. The first step is to generate awareness and do a better job of recruitment. The next step of the funnel is mentor preparation and 2 �selection which is the background checking and the training issues. The final step is the actual mentoring. Mentoring generates positive outcomes for the kids, adults who mentor and the community. Out of 207 identified mentoring organizations, 136 completed the census. The MCSC intends to go back into the field in fall of 2005 . Out of 105 organizations that participated in Wave I of the census, 96 of them answered the survey the second time. One thing learned was that to have more mentors, you have to have more inquiries and have to generate more awareness. How did Mentor Michigan do in terms of inquiries and applications in 2004? There were almost 10,000 inquiries and almost 6,300 new applications. This is a significant increase in the number of new applications. In the first two months of 2005 there have been over 3,900 inquiries and 1,800 applications. From January to August 2004 there was a monthly average of 728 inquiries and almost 500 applications. From August 2004 to the end of the year, the monthly average also increased. The monthly averages for the first two months of 2005 increased to 1900 inquiries and 926 applications. Clearly there is momentum in the Mentoring Month activities. Mentor Michigan can now document that about 27,000 young people have been served in 2004 and almost 16,000 people volunteered to be mentors. From February 2004 to February 2005, 94 organizations reported increases in the number of youths they have matched with a mentor and 29% reported a decrease. The number of organizations reporting an increase were 3,282, those reporting a decrease were 1,066 for an increase of 2,216 more kids being mentored. There was also a growth of 1,438 active mentors from August 2004 to February 2005. This is due partly to the number of organizations that are now reporting but there is also growth in those organizations that reported in both periods. In terms of mentor and mentee demographics, there was a large increase of 18-25 year old mentors. There are more male youth being served and there is also an increase in the percentage of youth age 6-11 being served and a decline in the number of 12-14 year olds served. There is also changes in the race demographics. There are a large portion of Caucasians being served and a relatively small proportion of African-Americans being served. This does not mean that fewer African-Americans are being served but that there was reporting from new organizations that serve primarily Caucasians. There are two barriers to the growth of mento ring in Michigan. There are too few male mentors. More men need to be recruited to increase the number of kids being served. The second is the lack of staff support for recruitment. Mentoring organizations report that they are at their capacity in terms of the number of mentors they can serve. For many, they need to talk about operating budget enhancements or find a way to reduce the overhead of the mentoring organizations (i.e., screening, training, and match). One key thing to figure out is the loss of mentors after they have inquired because there is a 3 �big drop off between the number that inquire and the number of applications and a further drop off of those that are matched. The first reason is they won't fill out the written application. The second is the time requirement of being a mentor. There is a smaller decline after they learn about the needs and characteristics of the youth and also the training requirements. Liability was not an issue with 50% of the mentoring organizations. Another key point is the screening process. Several of the organizations don't want to go through the extra step of the extra costs of screening. As far as the criminal background check, only about 5% of applicants are not able to be mentors because of what was found in the background checks. It needs to be encouraged to all organizations that 100% of the applicants need to screened. Michigan's mentoring organizations are satisfied with the work of Mentor Michigan with 40% being very satisfied and 38% being somewhat satisfied. Only 18% of those surveyed were not aware ofMentor Michigan. They are satisfied through the marketing and awareness building, the recruitment support and the partnership and resource development. Process Recommendations- Using the funnel, there are three key areas: recruitment, mentor preparation and mentoring. Under recruitment, the three areas that need focus are to emphasize and support mentor retention, seek referrals from existing mentors, and become more targeted in recruitment efforts. Next is mentor preparation and selection. Many of the mentoring organizations are at or near capacity. It will be necessary to focus on workprocess efficiencies and to provide tools and training for mentoring organizations to seek operating support funds. Last is mentoring. It is important that we balance the objectives with not only more numbers of mentors, but also the quality of mentors. B. ConnectMichigan Alliance Report- Kyle Caldwell explained a proposal for an AmeriCorps program that would support Mentor Michigan. The goal is to gamer 1,000 additional volunteers in mentoring. It would take on two stages. The first would have a number of members that would work with communities to promote and strengthen local volunteer organizations around mentoring. The second would work on a regional basis to provide support in training, technical assistance and communication resources to support the local AmeriCorps members. He also shared some of the results from the Mentor Michigan VISTA program. There are over 230 partner organizations involved and 1,818 new mentors recruited. They are looking at growing the program in the next year to areas not served. C. Mentor Michigan Momentum- The Commissioners broke into group discussions to discuss corporate participation strategy and state initiatives strategy. (See notes for discussions attached.) 4 �V. Standing Committee Reports A. Fund Development Committee - Mary Grill gave a brief update on the fundraising for the Governor's Service Awards/Carter Partnership Award and shared that so far $239,500 has been raised (which is 140% over last year' s goal). She thanked several of the Commissioners who have been helping to solicit donations. B. Public Relations Committee - Commissioner Young-Welch stated that the Committee has proposed some subcommittees to get more of the Commissioners involved in state activities. There would be three different subcommittees and would solicit Commissioners involvement in their regional areas. The committees are Community Activity, Media Activities Committee and Publicity Committee. The Commission staff does not have the manpower to help promote the activities of the Commission. The thought is that Commission members need to step up and acknowledge an area where they can be of assistance. Commissioner Swain shared that this would be an opportunity to use those outside the Commission to help build capacity. The structure can be bigger than the Commission and staff. Kyle stated that there is nothing in the bylaws that would prevent the Commission from bringing in others to participate in committees. VI. Updates on Progress and Challenges A. Executive Director Report 1. Super Bowl XL - Janet explained that the MCSC has made a presentation to the Super Bowl XL Host Committee to have the Commission help recruit and train volunteers. There is a proposal to have a pre-event with mentors and mentees. 2. MCSC Progress towards 2005 Goals- The Comm.issioners received a handout outlining the progress towards the goals. B. AmeriCorps- Paula Kaiser gave background on the Michigan' s AmeriCorps Formula Renewal and New Application. The MCSC was awarded about $3 .5 million to fund new and continuing formula programs. The Corporation notified the Commission that they could fund no more than 257 full-time members (this was a change from previous years where the MCSC could fund as many members as they could afford). The MCSC had enough money to fund everything that came in but not enough slots (10 slots short). So the stafflooked at programs that didn't fill all their slots last year (2 programs) and reduced their requested number of slots by one FTE. In additional, the MCSC reduced the two new programs ' number of slots. 5 �Staff recommends renewal funding at the recommended amount of: Boys and Girls Club of Benton Harbor at $146,300; Camp Fire USA West Michigan Council at $172,981; Catholic Family Services at $216,397; Charlevoix-Emmet lSD at $212,800; Communities in Schools Detroit at $321,965; Habitat for Humanity at $392,663; Ionia Intermediate School District at $153,600; Jumpstart for Young Children at $166,228; Michigan Primary Care Association at $258,000; The Guidance Center at $250,000; and Volunteer Muskegon at $188,650. Commissioner Parker made a motion to approve the renewal funding. Commissioner O'Day seconded the motion. Due to not enough Commissioners for a quorum, the vote was sent out to all Commissioners by fax for a written vote. The motion passed unanimously. Staff recommends funding at the recommended amount for the following new applicants: American Red Cross-West Michigan at $245,800; and ConnectMichigan Alliance at $452,000. Commissioner Parker made a motion to approve the new funding. Commissioner Mawby seconded the motion. Due to not enough Commissioners for a quorum, the vote was sent out to all Commissioners by fax for a written vote. The motion passed unanimously. VII. C. Citizen Corps Funding Recommendations- Janet Lawson gave background on the Citizen Corps Funding Recommendations. Commissioner Parker made a motion to approve the Citizen Corps funding recommendations. Commissioner O'Day seconded the motion. Due to not enough Commissioners for a quorum, the vote was sent out to all Commissioners by fax for a written vote. The motion passed unanimously. D. Upcoming Events- Mary Grill gave an update on the Signature Service Project and Governor's Service Awards. E. Financial Report- Garry Gross gave an overview of the MCSC Financial Report. Adjourn Commissioner Parker made a motion to adjourn, Commissioner Pellegrino seconded the motion. The meeting was adjourned at 12:15 pm. 6 � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Welcome and Introduction - Chairperson Mulhern The meeting was called to order at 8: 10 a.m. by Chairperson Mulhern and he gave a brief summary of the Board Retreat which took place the prior day. II. Review and Approval of May 20, 2005 Minutes - Chairperson Mulhern Chairperson Mulhern asked for a motion to approve the minutes from the May 20, 2005 board meeting. Commissioner Mawby moved to approve the minutes, Commissioner Newport seconded the motion. The motion passed unanimously. III. Standing Committee Reports A. IV. Review of Executive Committee Meeting Chairperson Mulhern discussed the minutes of the August 26, 2005 Executive Committee meeting which were distributed to board members. During the meeting (via conference call) they discussed the agenda for the September 22-23 Board Retreat and Meeting and staff recommendations for the Learn & Serve School-Based Funding. A memo from Paula Kaiser dated August 24, 2005, outlined the proposals. Chairperson Mulhern shared that there was discussion of the schools that don't apply for the funding and that the MCSC is going to try to be more pro-active in targeting charter schools and the city public schools. Updates on Progress and Challenges A. Volunteer Center/VIG Update - Bob Kahle presented on the Volunteer Centers ofMichigan Impact Evaluation. There are 32 Volunteer Centers around the state. The purpose was to take a look at them to see the work that they are doing, their strengths and weaknesses, and how can to improve the efficiencies oftheir outcomes. Through Phase I of the project, Mr. Kahle wanted to find out the Volunteer Centers ' success stories, get feedback on their expansion and how to move the volunteer movement to cover all the counties in the state, and understand their affiliation with the Points of Light Foundation. He met with several organizations including Volunteer Centers both in Michigan and other states, telephone focus groups, funding sources, and the Points of Light Foundation. Key findings of Phase I: There is wide diversity in organization, services provided and other dimensions. The first commonality of all the centers is that they connect volunteers with opportunities to serve. The second is their work as conveners or collaborators. There is very little useful evaluation data, tools or resources in place. They do not think or operate 2 �in tenns of impact. Process, not outcome, is the primary focus. Services provided by Volunteer Centers are often intangible, perceived as immeasurable, difficult to define. There is tension within the Volunteer Center environment nationally and locally, and between POLF and United Way. They are at a crucial crossroad because the POLF is requesting the Volunteer Centers sign on to an Affiliation Agreement. The Volunteer Centers have three concerns around the agreement: "Super Brand", core programs, and shared fundraising. Also the trust and confidence in POLF is quite low among Volunteer Center leaders. Many Michigan Volunteer Centers would like to expand but they feel they don't have the resources to even continue providing the same level of service they are today. Key Implications: Impact evaluation requires more than research. There needs to be common tools, training, and common definitions of what's necessary for the outcome/impact research. Most important, the mindsets of the Volunteer Center leaders needs to be changed from being focused on process and self sustainability to being focused on producing documented outcome for their community. Recommendations: Rethink the data collection approaches for phase II, develop component style database, the definitions being defined, and flexible components to capture the uniqueness. B. Executive Director's Report - Janet Lawson gave a brief update on MCSC issues. Ms. Lawson shared that the National Governor's Association has developed a National and Community Service Policy which recognizes the importance of service. She also shared that the CNCS has developed a new strategic plan (a copy of the draft plan was distributed) and is open for comments. The MCSC has a new e-mentoring opportunity that Janet and Amber Reiss have been working on with Oakland Schools and the Department of Labor and Economic Growth (DLEG). Kathy Young-Welch discussed the U.S . Census model on a community awareness effort to get people engaged. The MCSC could duplicate that model to make every sector of the community aware of volunteerism and service. There is something everybody could use to support voltmteerism. There would be strategic asks for each of the sectors. If the conversation is with corporations, can they make sure there is a volunteer message in their weekly newsletters or can they create a volunteer program within their organization that employees can support. Can a church do something to create more mentors. Bob Kahle could possibly help create some measurables as the asks are made. The Governor Service Awards could be tied to recognizing volunteerism in individual municipalities. Kathy took this model of awareness to the Detroit Promise and it was very successful. 3 �C. Staff Retreat- Ms. Lawson shared that, thanks to Commissioner Whipple, the MCSC staffhad a staff retreat in August at the Consumers Energy Retreat Center in South Haven. One of the key outcomes of the staff session of where the Commission needs to go was to develop a plan to develop and maintain relationships. Tllis would be obtained by educating stakeholders and legislators, strengthening ties with local partners and grantees, developing local champions, creating stronger relationships with alumni and friends, and creating stronger alliances with CMF, CMA, National Mentoring Partnership, etc. There was also conversation on how the MCSC staff can do a better job of engaging Commissioners in a better way than has previously been done. D. Mentor Michigan- Ms. Lawson introduced Amber Reiss, the Mentor Miclligan Program Coordinator. Amber gave a brief summary of her background. Ms. Lawson explained that the Mentor Michigan Providers Council has been working on quality program standards. At the four regional meetings this summer, the standards were discussed and attendees had the opportunity to provide feedback. Amber explained the eleven standards: Standard 1: Definition of Mentoring- definition of mento ring, consistent contact, 4-10 hours together each month, and group ratio established. Standard 2: Recruitment Plan - a recruitment plan for mentors and mentees and a system for follow-up Standard 3: Eligibility Screening- program screens mentors and metnees for eligibility. Standard 4: Orientation and training - program provides mentor, mentee and parent/guardian orientation and training by trained staff or volunteers. Standard 5: Matching Strategy - program has a well-documented matching strategy. Standard 6: Match Monitoring Process- program maintains and implements a process that monitors matches. Standard 7: Mentor Support, Recognition, and Retention- program supports the mentoring relationships, recognized volunteers, and strategies for volunteer rentention. Standard 8: Match Closure - program has a process for match closure. Standard 9: Program Evaluation - program conducts an evaluation process. Tllis is one of the most changing measures for mentoring programs. Standard 10: Organizational Management- program has established organizational management practices. Standard 11: Governance- program has a governance structure. The standards have been very well received by the mentoring organizations. The Providers Council will be making these final in October. There are plans to look at the standards and look at the results 4 �of the census and develop trainings to get organizations in line with these standards. Mary Grill gave a brief update on National Mentoring Month (January) and the activities that MCSC will be doing. The Detroit Pistons will be participating in National Mentoring Month. There will be a PSA with a Pistons player, Governor Granholm and Dan Mulhern that will be played throughout the month during the games and throughout the state. On MLK day, there will be an on-court presentation recognizing mentors and a booth set up on mentoring. Commissioners will be asked to consider doing an op-ed article on mentoring for local papers and to participate in local activities in their communities. Keep in mind that January 25 is "Thank Your Mentor Day" and there will be several events going on around that. Chairperson Mulhern asked the Commissioners to be proactive about National Mentoring Month, try to connect with organizations in their local communities to promote mentoring, and to contact local media (radio, newspapers, etc) to promote mentoring. Ms. Lawson distributed the Mentor Michigan Budget to Commissioners and gave an update on contributions from Governor's Service Awards, John Hancock, Siemens, Detroit Auto Dealers Association, Hudson Weber and National Mentoring Partnership. E. Review ofMCSC Budget and Audit Resolution- Garry Gross gave an update on MCSC Budget. He also presented the preliminary audit findings. The MCSC faired very well on the audit as there was only one reportable condition for inclusion in the audit report. F. Cross Stream Training- Megan Sargent presented information on the Cross Stream Training event that will be taking place on October 20-21. The MCSC will partner with the CNCS Michigan office for a collaboration and training event for all national service programs in Michigan. The goal is to get all service streams to work better together. Commissioners are welcome to attend. G. CMA/Serve Michigan Update- Kyle Caldwell explained the ConnectMichigan Alliance (CMA) and the partnerships between CMA, MCSC, Michigan Nonprofit Association, Michigan Campus Compact and Michigan Volunteers Center. H. AmeriCorps a. Standards - Andy Younger shared that the MCSC has been working on AmeriCorps standards. He explained that the AmeriCorps Program Coordinators at MCSC have been working with their programs to make sure they are in compliance with the national and state policies around AmeriCorps. All of the technical assistance and trainings that 5 �the MCSC holds for the programs focus on these areas so that they don't fail around these policies and have audit issues. The MCSC is creating benchmarks for what a high quality program would look like. Over the past several months, an ArneriCorps committee has worked with a national technical assistance provider to bring MCSC staff, former and current ArneriCorps program directors that have a knowledge and understanding of ArneriCorps and what good, high quality program would look like to develop a set of standards and criteria. The MCSC is still in the process of developing and defining the standards. There are six major areas under which there are standards. Those include site success, member success, communication impact, sustainability, community strengthening and involvement, and evaluations and impact. The final standards will be rolled out the first of the year. b. Rulemaking - Andy Younger gave a brief overview of the new ArneriCorps Rule. A summary of the new rule was included in the Commissioner board packets. The key points that will affect the MCSC are around the sustainability and match criteria. Other areas include the fundraising activities that members engage in and around the tutoring requirements. One of the biggest areas that could potentially affect the MCSC is the state commissions flexibility to operate a national service program. I. Service Learning - Jeanine Yard shared information on a survey done by Public Sector Consultants on Service Leaming in Michigan. A copy of the Executive Summary was distributed to Commissioners. One of the key findings was that there are more teachers and students engaged in service learning than in 2002. Another finding is that service leaming is happening with individual teachers, and not necessarily district wide.

The National Service Congressional Caucus is a bipartisan group of Members of Congress dedicated to raising awareness of national service and expanding opportunities for all Americans to serve. As a caucus, our goal is to recognize the extraordinary service by Americans in countless communities across the country by providing leadership and support to ensure that our national service programs remain strong and continue to grow. Today, representatives of national service programs have come to Washington, D.C. to share stories of the important role that national service programs play in meeting critical community needs across America. Seldom has there been a time in our nation's history when service - military or civilian - has been of more critical importance to our nation's strength and security. In the past few weeks, national service programs have responded to the needs of Gulf Coast communities affected by Hurricane Katrina by sending AmeriCorps NCCC, AmeriCorps VISTA, and other national service members to the region to provide direct assistance. We hope that you will consider joining the National Service Congressional Caucus to support the expansion of opportunities for Americans to serve. If you would like to participate or have any questions, please contact Sarah Moore in Congressman Shays' office at x55541 or Catherine Liao in Congressman Price's office at x51784.

Dear Friends: Thank you for your letter about AmeriCorps achievements and funding. I appreciate your commitment to national and community service. AmeriCorps is one of our Nation's vital community programs. In neighborhoods across the country, AmeriCorps members are addressing critical needs, from mentoring at-risk youth and feeding the homeless to strengthening public safety and promoting environmental stewardship. AmeriCorps programs also increase civic engagement and help build a culture of service, citizenship, and responsibility throughout our Nation. Over the past 4 years, my Administration has taken important steps to enhance AmeriCorps. Through the USA Freedom Corps, we have worked to recruit more Americans for volunteer service and bring more visibility to AmeriCorps. Record funding levels have expanded AmeriCorps to an unprecedented 75,000 members. We have also guided the Corporation for National and Community Service through reforms that have strengthened the AmeriCorps program and positioned it for future stability and growth. Our effort to strengthen national and community service is guided by several principles: to encourage greater engagement of Americans in volunteering, to be more responsive, more accountable, and more effective to State and local needs, and to expand opportunities for the involvement of faith-based and other community organizations. I will continue to work to ensure that AmeriCorps remains robust and vibrant. Thank you again for taking the time to write .. •. .,. "'i �VOICESFORNATIONALSERVICE Strengthening America through National Service: Investing in AmeriCorps, learn and Serve America, and the Senior Corps Thank you for supporting the hundreds of thousands of Americans who bring energy, skills and hope to communities from coast to coast through national service. Through AmeriCorps, Learn and Serve America and the Senior Corps, more than 1.6 million citizens of all ages are rolling up their sleeves to tutor and mentor children. build affordable housing, create playgrounds and parks. restore the environment. teach in underserved schools, build trails, care for elderly and homebound neighbors and provide critical services to low-income citizens. Our goal is to continue to grow the broad bipartisan support for national service that has emerged over the last decade. The recent unprecedented disaster in the Gulf Coast requires an unprecedented response to tap the d~sire to serve by the American people. National service can play a vital role in recovery and rebuilding; ~d. can provide a vehicle through which communities and individuals can bridge social divides and begin to heal: There are three current issues on which we want to share our views: AmeriCorps Disaster Relief Corps Act of 2005 We support the AmeriCorps Disaster Relief Corps Act of 2005, co-sponsored by Senator Barack Obama and Representatives Harold Ford. Jr., Tom Osborne, David Price, and Christopher Shays which proposes to expand AmeriCorps by 1O,CXXJ members as a strategic response to the relief and recovery efforts in the Gulf Coast Region. The Red Cross has called for 40,CXXJ volunteers to assist with recovery efforts; beyond direct service, AmeriCorps members can provide the infrastructure; volunteer management and training necessary to effectively deploy volunteers. AmeriCorps has a strong record of working with community and faith based organizations to improve public safety, public health, and emergency preparedness and response, and AmeriCorps programs can increase their level of assistance to the Gulf Coast and New Orleans communities with the addition of more AmeriCorps members. FY06 Appropriations We support funding levels for AmeriCorps and Learn and Serve America as approved by the Senate Appropriations Committee on July 14, 2005: $429 million for AmeriCorps and $42.6 million for Learn and Serve America. We believe that at this time, when more Americans than ever before are stepping forward to serve their communities and their country, funding for national service should not be reduced . If approved in conference, this appropriation will essentially provide level funding, helping to sustain the national service infrastructure and providing opportunities for more than 75,(Xl0 Americans to serve and more than 1 million students to participate in service-learning activities. FY07 Appropriations We support the expansion of AmeriCorps in FY07 to 150,CXXJ, double the current enrollment of 75,000 members. and a growth in the appropriation for Learn and Serve America to $46 million to support to support scientificallybased research and additional grants for local schools and communities. Seldom has there been a time in our nation's history when service- military or civilian- has been of more critical importance to our nation's strength and security. National service programs achieve direct and demonstrable results, while they strengthen the ties that bind us together as a nation. Thank you for your leadership and support of national service; we hope that together we can continue to strengthen and expand opportunities for all Americans to serve. -r'' www.

Effective volunteering requires management and infrastructure • Volunteering isn't free- it requires investment and infrastructure ....._. • Having a full-time volunteer manager and adopting best volunteer management practices (such as screening, supervision, recognition, and training) increases productivity and effectiveness • While 4 out of 5 charities utilize volunteers, only 1 in 8 has a full-time volunteer manager • National Conference is a think tank and training ground for best volunteer management practices • The nonprofit sector has taken the lead in pushing for greater accountability, transparency, and performance in order to increase public trust and prove value Momentum for volunteering and national service is growing in all sectors • Political leaders from President Bush to Congress and Governors are investing in national service and volunteer infrastructure as a cost-effective way to meet social needs • Businesses increasingly see the value of supporting volunteering as a way to boost employee morale, improve community life, develop future workers, and help the bottom line • Charities and non profits, facing increased demands and tightening budgets, increasingly rely on volunteers to carry out their missions. They say they are ready to take on an additional 6 million volunteers immediately-- and more if they expand their volunteer management capacity National Conference is where it all comes together • Largest gathering of volunteer and national service leaders in the nation • Primary purpose is training and networking to strengthen volunteer management so that more Americans will volunteer more effectively • Co-convened by The Points of Light Foundation and the Corporation for National and Community Service �National Governors Association Page 1 of2 ..:-+-**~* GOVERNORS *NATIONAl. *-¥-*i'.lf.* As:;O(;IiiTWN I PRINT Policy Position 07/20/2005 ECW-09. National and Community Service Policy 9.1 Preamble Governors recognize the importance of service and community involvement to the states and the nation. Citizens serve others in innumerable ways locally, regionally, and worldwide--assisting in homeland security, caring for a neighbor, restoring critical natural habitats, mentoring youth and emphasizing the importance of family structures, engaging faith-based and community organizations, and performing other volunteer activities. Governors believe federal service programs such as AmeriCorps, Citizen Corps, Learn and Serve America, the Peace Corps, and Senior Corps provide substantial opportunities and benefits to our nation, the volunteers, and those served. Governors build, support, and promote public-private partnerships to promote an ethic of service that encourages citizens to serve in meaningful ways that reflect the real needs of communities, states, and the nation. 9.2 Principles Governors remain steadfast in their desire to continue and strengthen a national service network that is guided by the following principles. • Promote a strong partnership among federal, state, and local governments, as well as the volunteer, philanthropic, education, faith, and business communities, to emphasize the importance of building connections among citizens to combat isolationism and promote communitywide involvement. • Recognize the multitude of related federal and state programs and seek to streamline and integrate such programs into a comprehensive network based on effective practices and outcomes. • Encourage creativity and diversity among service programs so that citizens of all ages, religions, and backgrounds have the opportunity to participate. • Ensure that the nation's future is stewarded by individuals who, while in their youth, have access to fundamental and vital resources, including an ongoing mentoring relationship with a caring adult, a safe place and structured activities to live and grow, a healthy start, marketable skills through effective education, and an opportunity to give back through their own service to their communities. 9.3 Federal-State Partnership Recommendations Governors play a key role in promoting service opportunities. Based on the http://www.nga.org/portaVsite/nga/menuitem.616fOcf559d998d18a27811 050101 OaO/?vgne... 9/15/2005 �National Governors Association Page 2 of2 aforementioned principles, Governors offer the following recommendations to the federal government. • Continue to foster and support gubernatorial leadership in involving interested people, as well as local and state organizations (including nonprofit, faith-based, philanthropic, and community-based organizations), the private sector, and others, in developing statewide strategies for community problem-solving through service and volunteerism. • Provide adequate and stable federal resources to support high-quality national and community service programs on a fair and competitive basis with maximum flexibility and a minimum of federal procedures or regulations. • Reauthorize the National and Community Service Trust Act with modifications that address the issues of duplication, insufficient resources, and maximum flexibility and accountability. • Ensure that state education agencies receive adequate administrative and program resources to enable schools to provide the opportunity for every student to participate in service learning at every grade. • Allocate federal funds to states for demonstration initiatives that provide Governors the flexibility and opportunity to showcase innovative models that work to solve community problems through service and volunteerism.

Picture a state where every child has a mentor, every senior makes a commitment to serve somewhere in their community, every community has a volunteer center or place to go for volunteer referral, every corpora~ion is civically engaged. • From our great work with Mentor Michigan we have created some lessons learned and best practices for creating such an epidemic.

Bob Kahle joined us and presented on the Volunteer Centers of Michigan (a copy of his presentation is in the board meeting packets that were sent out prior to the meeting). MCSC staff also presented on the new Mentor Michigan Standards and AmeriCorps Standards and Rulemaking. During the retreat, Russ Mawby gave an excellent presentation on why service and volunteerism is critical to our state. The Commissioners then participated in discussions at their tables on how to create an epidemic of service and volunteerism in Michigan and defining who our partners are and how to work more closely with them. The retreat closed on Thursday evening with a discussion on steps toward creating the epidemic ofvolunteerism. The Commissioners agreed to focus on three areas this year: 1. Mentor Michigan: Use mentoring and service to create forward movement toward the Cherry Commission goals. 2. Cool Companies/Cool Cities: Broaden the definition of cool places to live and work to include a service component. Rely on CEO-to-CEO outreach to explain the value to companies ofhaving organized volunteer efforts. Connect the dots between the mentoring initiative listed above, the Cherry Commission and Cool Cities. 3. Great media: Tell the story of our national leadership and prototype the Michigan infrastructure. Sharing what's great about Michigan regarding volunteerism. Commissioners signed up to participate in discussions on one of these three areas and will meet via conference call prior to the next MCSC Board Meeting (scheduled for Wednesday, November 9th). You will receive email communication on this from me soon. �The next MCSC Board Meeting will be held on Wednesday, November 9th' from 9:00a.m. to 2:30p.m. in Detroit. This meeting will be held in conjunction with the AmeriCorps Member Celebration, which is the kickoff ceremony for AmeriCorps members for their year of service. We will join them for opening ceremonies at 9:00a.m. and then break off for the MCSC Board Me~ting. The Board Meeting will conclude at 2:30p.m. You are then invited to join the AmeriCorps Member Celebration for closing ceremonies, where Dennis Archer will give the closing remarks and administer the oath to the AmeriCorps members.

Jl! ~ ~ ---L.{ v.;ull eJs W lA-S ~~ Commissione~reat The committee to discuss the content of the met today and had an in-depth discussion about the plan mapped out at the staff meeting. We had a few thoughts we felt it was important to share before we layout our retreat discussion ideas. First, we feel we need to secure a facilitator for the meeting. We need you, Dan, and the rest of the Commissioners and staff to be equal parts of the discussion and not serving as facilitators. We really liked the way it went at t he staff retreat where the playing field was level and everyone was able to play. Second, we thought we may need a little more Commissioner buy in for them to embrace the idea about the local "healthy community meetings." We think we need to have some discussion that could lead them in this direction knowing that they may have some other good ideas we're not already thinking of. Third, we're not sure that more than 1-2 of our current Commissioners, let alone the new ones, would have the capacity or deep desire to hold the "healthy community meetings" in their local areas. And if this is the direction we end up going, we'll need a lot of staff involvement and hand holding with it. (Are we prepared to ' ,t..--:,. ""r do that?)

The first scan was conducted in 2002, and its purpose was to provide a descriptive baseline of the prevalence of service learning throughout Michigan. The 2005 scan provides a follow-up to the original scan and allows the MCSC to track the growth of service learning in Michigan. The scan is designed to address the following questions: • Where is school-initiated community service taking place? • Where is service learning taking place in Michigan and in what grade levels? • To what extent and with what frequency is service learning occurring? • What components of service learning are in place? In what grade levels is service learning occurring? In what content areas is service learning being utilized? • • MAJOR FINDINGS • Community service is a requirement for graduation in more schools than is service learning. Four percent of schools have a service-learning requirement for graduation. In contrast, 10 percent of schools require community service. Three percent of schools require both. • The reasons for engaging students in community service and service learning are nearly identical. The reasons for encouraging these activities are quite similar, and scan results are comparable to those in 2002. Schools tend to cite community and student benefits rather than benefits to the school itself or improved student performance. For example, the three most frequently cited reasons for encouraging community service and service learning are to meet real community needs, to help students become more active community members, and to encourage altruism and caring for others. Least cited reasons include improving student achievement and performance, reducing risky behaviors, and improving a school ' s ability to meet No Child Left Behind (NCLB) standards. • Slightly more teachers and students are engaging in service learning now than in 2002. Twenty-eight percent of teachers (compared to 24 percent in 2002) integrate service learning into their instruction. More students are also being engaged in service learning-29 percent in 2005 compared to 26 percent in 2002. • Service learning is still largely an activity of individual teachers, but small increases in the percentage of schools with gradewide and discipline-wide service learning have occurred since 2002. Sixty-two percent of schools report that service learning is carried out through the efforts of individual teachers in particular courses, rather than as a schoolwide or districtwide initiative. In 2002, 61 percent of schools reported that service learning occurred in individual courses. Fifty-nine percent of schools report gradewide service learning (up from 51 percent in 2002) and 39 percent report discipline-wide service learning (up slightly from 37 percent in 2002). Schoolwide service learning has remained constant at 34 percent. Public Sector Consultants Inc. - 600 W. Saint Joseph St. ~ Suite I 0 -::: Lansing, MI 48933 - (517) 484-4954 �Service Learning in Michigan: Executive Summary July 2005 • Financial and material support has remained relatively constant, but schools are more likely now than in 2002 to provide teachers with reductions in course load and additional planning time. Sixtyseven percent of schools (the same percentage as in 2002) report that they provide support for teachers to attend external conferences or training for service learning, and 60 percent report providing financial assistance to defray some costs associated with engaging in service learning (up from 58 percent in 2002). Ten percent provide a reduction in course load and 13 percent provide additional planning time for teachers involved in service learning (both up from just 6 percent). • Schools that report particular sources offunding have experienced a slight drop but overall remained relatively constant. As in 2002, a relatively small proportion of schools receive external funding for service learning activities; the most common sources remain philanthropy and federal or state funding. Just 14 percent of schools received a special grant or special funding in the past academic year to support service-learning activities (13 percent reported receiving such support in 2002). Among these, 16 percent (15 percent in 2002) received a grant from a corporation or business, 16 percent received funding from some other educational initiative 1, 15 (17 percent in 2002) percent received a foundation grant, 11 percent (12 percent in 2002) received funding from some other federal or state source, 6 percent (5 percent in 2002) received funding from Learn and Serve America, and 8 percent (6 percent in 2002) received funding from AmeriCorps. • Grade level and location of the school are related to utilization of service learning. High schools participate in service learning more often than other grade levels. Urban schools are more likely than their suburban or rural counterparts to offer service learning. • Eighteen percent of schools have a formal policy for service learning. Furthermore, having a formal policy for service learning is significantly related to a school offering various types of support-a full- or part-time service learning coordinator, financial support, mini-grants, or professional development to teachers. CONCLUSIONS • The gap between the number of schools offering community service and those offering service learning is unchanged. Community service is far more prevalent than service learning in Michigan schools. Consistent with 2002 findings, schools continue to view community service as similar to service learning. This is not surprising as both activities have similar philosophies of service and response to community needs. Further investigation is needed to understand the reasons why more schools do not engage in service learning. • While the overall prevalence of service learning did not change significantly in 2005, there are signs that the schools offering service learning are becoming more engaged in it. For example, compared to 2002, a higher proportion of students within a school are involved in service learning; more schools are offering gradewide or discipline-wide, as opposed to class-specific, service learning; more schools have service-learning coordinators; and schools are requiring a greater number of hours of service. • There is plenty of room for service learning to expand its reach in Michigan schools. Service learning is utilized more often in high schools, larger schools, and more affluent schools. Furthermore, social science courses are much more likely than other disciplines to utilize service learning. • Financial and staffing support for service learning goes hand in hand with formal policy. If a district bas a formal policy in place, it is more likely to offer financial assistance to teachers, support conference and training attendance, offer mini-grants for activities, and offer professional development. 1 This category was not included in the 2002 survey.

The staff discussed the renewal guidelines on the May 11th grantee conference call. The renewal applications were due on July 8, 2005. We received 25 renewal applications. The staff reviewed all25 applications on July 18, 2005 . Staff is recommending a1125 for funding. This year there were three categories of renewal funding - implementation, institutionalization, and ISD/Higher Education partnerships. School districts that have received funds in the past were able to apply for an implementation grant to expand quality service-learning practice throughout the district. School districts that have implemented service-learning for a minimum of three years were able to apply for an institutionalization grant to sustain quality servicelearning practice. The amount of funds applicants were eligible to apply for were based on the category (implementation, and institutionalization) and on classification of the school district by pupil membership. Intermediate School Districts in partnership with a higher education institution were eligible to apply for a $50,000 grant to build regional professional development opportunities for teachers and administrators in the area of service-learning. 1 �District Size Up to 2,500 students From 2,501 to 19,999 students 20,000 or more students Implementation Grant Amount $15,000 $24,500 Institutionalization Grant Amount $15,000 $24,500 $40,000 $40,000 School Based Implementation Grant Applicants See the implementation grant description above.

Students are matched according to their strengths and interests to offer the agency skills and services they may need. They gain a deeper understanding of service through their course studies as academic content and applied projects focus on a particular societal problem or issue.

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: September 16, 2005 RE: Updates on Progress and Challenges Updates on Progress and Challenges Community service and civic involvement have been in national and state focus over the last four months. National Service Due to swift and powerful community response, and letters of support from grantees and citizenry in general, AmeriCorps and Learn and Serve are being recommended at funded levels exceeding national expectations. Similarly, a commitment to Faith-based and Community Initiatives continues to bring funded community service programs to temples, churches and mosques. The FY 06 budget has not been finalized for National Service. The House of Representatives proposed numbers are lower than the Senate numbers. The Senate Appropriations Committee is recommending $429 million for AmeriCorps (compared to $455 million last year) and $42.6 million for Learn and Serve (same as FY 05). It is unlikely the budget process will be resolved by the end of the fiscal year. Folks are speculating a Continuing Resolution through December. The terms of the Continuing Resolution are still be determined. The possible scenarios could be flat funded, across the board reductions, or across the board cost mcreases. �I The Points of Light Foundation and the Corporation for National Service held a weeklong conference on "Volunteering and Service" in June. Key messages from that conference include: (see attachment) • Volunteer service is on the rise • Volunteering and national service produce tremendous benefits for our nation • Effective volunteering requires management and infrastructure • Momentum for volunteering and national service is growing in all sectors • The National Conference is where it all comes together In July, the National Governor's Association developed and ratified a National and Community Service Policy recognizing the importance of service and community involvement and federalstate partnerships. (see attachment) Also at the policy and planning level, the Corporation for National Service developed a new strategic plan and rolled out new rules for AmeriCorps programs. (see attachments) Finally, in response to the national travesty left by Hurricane Katrina, the Corporation for National Service, AmeriCorps*VISTA, and the National Civilian Conservation Corps (NCCC) routed millions of dollars in fmancial aid and human capital to assist in disaster relief. (see attachment) State Service The positive national focus on service and volunteerism was not an indicator of things to come in Michigan. While a sell out crowd attended the Governor's Service Awards in June, elected officials in the Michigan House voted to zero out the MCSC budget for FY 05-06. Described by some as a short-sited way to save the budget a million dollars, state representatives decided it was no longer necessary, nor a good idea, to provide state match dollars for the $6.8 in federal funds that come to Michigan through AmeriCorps and Learn and Serve grants. Legislators are currently working in committee to review the budget. The MCSC is grateful for assistance from the ConnectMichigan Alliance (CMA). CMA's efforts to support the work of the MCSC garnered more than 283 signatures from grantees, citizens, business and community leaders to a sign on letter of support. ConnectMichigan Alliance also developed the www.servernichigan.org website to support community service in Michigan. We are grateful to the fifteen commissioners who signed on to the letter. (see attachment) While the legislature struggled with the FY 05-06 budget, the Commission staff worked tirelessly on goals and new program ideas, stressing standards of practice in many program areas to assure quality programming and safety. A new AmeriCorps program for 2005-2006 will include a 34 member Mentor Michigan AmeriCorps program sponsored by the ConnectMichigan Alliance. The program will improve the quality of existing youth mentoring program by enhancing, developing, and implementing systems to effectively recruit, screen, train and support mentors and mentees. In addition, they �will focus on helping sites meet the Mentor Michigan Quality Program Standards (MAPS). This new program complements the Mentor Michigan VISTA program also supported by ConnectMichigan Alliance. Current and former ArneriCorps program directors are working to develop Michigan ArneriCorps Program Standards. The standards will be piloted this year with the expectation that they will be implemented in the 2006-07 program year. Bittersweet news from the MCSC includes the departure of staff member Kim Andrews. Kim's expertise as an ArneriCorps Program Director helped many ArneriCorps programs reach success in their community. Her talents were noticed by the W.K. Kellogg Foundation who hired her as the Program Director for the Battle Creek area. We wish her well and know that she will always be a friend of the Commission. Mentor Michigan success this summer was measured by: • A second wave of the Mentor Michigan Census • Four regional Mentor Michigan meetings held in Detroit, Marquette, Saginaw, and Muskegon • Release and discussion of a draft of the new Mentor Michigan Quality Program Standards developed earlier this summer by the Mentor Michigan Providers Council aimed at developing quality mentoring programs for kids • Grants from Siemens Foundation, John Hancock Manulife Fund, Detroit Auto Dealers Association (DADA) • Amber Reiss joined the MCSC staff as the full time Mentor Michigan coordinator Over the summer, service-learning practicioners participated in a funding renewal application process. Only current grantees were eligible for the 05-06 renewal cycle. Twenty-five schools received a total $624,073 in grants. (Executive Committee Report-Tab 3) Other recent service-learning achievements include: • 1,916 Service-Learning administrators were invited to participate in a Service-Learning Environmental Scan conducted by Public Sector Consultants (see attachment) • Commission staff launched the new Michigan Service-Learning Teacher Fellows Program. Six elementary teachers make up this charter group (see attachment) • Commission staff convened a Principals Task Force meeting on August 17th to strategize administrator outreach (see attachment) • 44 people and 10 teams attended a Summer Service-Learning symposium June 20-21 focused on strategies for sustainability It was not a season without struggles however. Hurricane Katrina's devastation was an invitation for Michigan volunteer involvement. Governor Granholm mobilized the Emergency Management Center and organized the Department of Human Services to unify relief and volunteer efforts across the state. Visit the MCSC website at www.michigan.gov/mcsc for Michigan's response to Hurricane Katrina relief efforts. (see attachment) Within our Commission, Citizen Corps took an active role in Michigan. In Detroit, the Citizen Corps Council in conjunction with Wayne County and City of Detroit Homeland Security and Emergency Management, opened the Hurricane Katrina Evacuee Reception Assistance Center. CERT volunteers help evacuees re-locating in Detroit through the registration, medical and human service process. Wayne County is also providing technical assistance to evacuees arriving at Detroit City Airport. Calhoun County Citizen Corps volunteers are working with the �Red Cross to process evacuees arriving in Battle Creek at the Fort Custer National Guard Base. 241 evacuees have been processed thus far. Eaton and Ingham County CERT volunteers are staffmg the State of Michigan Hurricane Hotline. Other challenges at the local level include the arrest of an AmeriCorps Program Director with the Char-Em School District. The required background checks were conducted however we all learned that the systems are not infallible and we must do more to insure the safety of children. We know that we need to create a background check policy for AmeriCorps programs and Mentor Michigan programs in an effort to support the Governor's safety agenda for all children and citizens. All these efforts at the national, state and local level continue to challenge and encourage our mission to build a "culture of service by providing vision and resources to strengthen communities through volunteerism." � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Since 200 1, VCM has been affi li ated with ConnectMichi gan Alliance (CMA), the central nonprofit hub for vo lunteerism in the state and the fidu c iary agent for VCM. Key constituent groups of the VCM seek accountability and documentation of the services provid ed and outcomes generated by th e VCs. The future and sustainabil.ity of the VCs and VCM is largely dependent on finding ways to document services provid ed and outcomes achieved at the community level. Prepared for: Michigan Com muni ty Service Commission Prepared by: Roben W. Kahle, Ph.D. Kahl e Research Solutions Inc. As sucb, CMA and VCM have reques ted th at Kahl e Research Solutions design and develop an evaluati on pl an. This report summarizes effort to date and provides preliminary findings.

"We have eve1y year something called th e Holiday Wish list, and it appears in the (newspapet) in November and December .... It is a compilation of the needs of clients from about 70-80 nonprofit agencies.. One year a single elderly lady ... read th e wish list and she saw that (the schools) needed gloves, mittens, socks and hats for their students ... She clipped it out and saved it for a full year and during that full year she actually knitted 300 pairs ofsocks and a hundred scarves and hats and whatever else. She just sat there and knitted day after day for a year, and the following year she took all that stuff and dro ve it to (the schools) and delivered it .. .It 's a great erample /thin k of how one of our services touched somebody and helped th e community." Some YCs ca n relate success stori es in a compe lling way to inc lude quantity of services provided, beneficiaries , third-party testimonials and longer term results/soc ial change as it relates to defined conununity needs. "if it were not for our volunteers, we would luwe almost 2,000 seniors in the ... area not receiving a hot meal evety day and not seeing someone walk in that door and make sure they 're ok.

The next three to six month period is a criti cal crossroad for Michigan VCs and the national vo lunteer movement There is tension and competition between POLF and United Way . ./ Competing soflw are/Web sites ./ POLF Affi li ati on Agreement soon to be released, with unknown national response . ./ United Way has moved to a "Community Impact" model, restructurin g and possibl y deemphasizin g the volunteer connecting function ./ Most Michigan VCs have serious concerns and questions about the Affiliation Agreement.

It is very one-sided, there's not a lot of incentive for new Volunteer Centers or for 111 e, (to) justify the amount of money that we spend just for the membership in Points ofLight." "A nything that 's going to put more constraints on what I do or give me more to do to justify what I do, that is keeping track or keeping specific software, I'm not really interested in doing all that."

Kahle Overview of Key Findings: Affiliation Agreement Concerns: Super Brand Overview of Key Findings: Affiliation Agreement Concerns: Core Programs Core Pro grams Due to the wide div ers ity of the program offerings of VCs, and customization to individual conununities, defining a set of core programs is a controversial iss ue. Not all VCs can or want to commit to offering the same core programs. "Under the duties of the Foundation, the first one, they talk about core programs. Any idea of how many there would be? Is it a skeleto t~ is it a full slate?" Most concerns with the Affiliation Agree ment center around three issues: I. "S uper Brand" 2. Core programs 3. Shared Fundraising Super Brand "My understandingfrom Poims of Light is that the Super Brand is over and above our local brand, that it would be s omething Points of Light-related or it would be a tag line or it would be something we would all ha ve on our stationary ... I want to be sure that ... we wou/dn ' t be asked to change our logo, which we have taken almost 30 years to establish in our "These core programs, I mean how broad-based can they be? Each one of us has their particular program that is tailor made to the needs of their own community. Broad is broad, but can they get that broad? " " ft raises red flags to me with somebody else defining the core programs for me and assessing them." community." 'The branding issue could be a stopper and is a concem of mine. Th ere's a lot ofpolitics going on around the brand issue ... Th ey would love for the Foundation's brand to be ow· system brand, and even to be our own local brands if they could get that fa r, and we're giving push back and who knows where that 's going to end up . .. 11 /212005 Kahle Research Solutions VCM Presentation- 9/23/05- Kahle Researc h Solut ions 15 11 /2/2005 VCM Presentat ion- 9/23/05 - Kahle Research Solutions 16 8 �Robert W . Kahle Overview of Key Findings: Trust and confidence is low Overview of Key Findings: Affiliation Agreement Concerns: Shared Fundraising Shared fundraising VC leaders want a commitment of ha rd dollars from POLF to support operations. The notion of shared fundrais ing, without specifics, causes uneasiness. VC leaders, in general , do not believe that adequate finan cial support flows through POLF to local VCs. "Nowhere does it stare that they will financially support Volunteer Centers. Ther e 's nothing in this agree me/11 that actually says ... Volunteer Centers wi II be a line item in the Points of Light budget. think that is criti cal ... I don 't want it ... to say, we 're going to share, I want to kn ow that finan cially, the y're going to give us some money as a line item, and that 's not there at all ." "I have a real concern about joint fimdra ising. A s entence in that, saying. 'Affiliates will refrain from fimdraising in conjunction with other entities that conflicts with such joint effo rts ', I have no idea wharrharmeans. I would be ve1y interested to find out." 11n12oos Kahle Research Solutions VCM Presentati on - 9/23/05 - Kahl e Research Solutions 17 ./ Trust and confidence in POLF is quite low among VC leaders. "I don 't think any of us ... are sure that Points of Light is th13·e yet. Th ey 've verbally committed to the agreement, they've verbally committed to wanting to serve Volunteer Centers, but they also at every turn seem to be hedging their bets .. .It 's still questionable about whether th ey really want to be our national voice for Volunteer Centers or if they just want to be a partner in general. " ./ The Affiliation Agreement has potenti al to further "de- unify" VCs, both nationall y and in Michigan . ./ United Way/ POLF tensions and c ompeting rol es need to be resol ved or furth e r fTagmentation of national support may ensue. ./ Several large VCs ha ve been meeting independent of P OLFIVCNN. 1112noos VCM Presentation - 9/23/05 - Kahl e Research Solutions 18 9 �Robert W. Kahle Overview of Key Findings: Michigan VCs want I need to expand, yet feel resource-constrained Overview of Key Findings: Expansion (Continued) Many Michigan VCs want to expand, yet nearly all feel underresourced , even for contin uing to provide the same level of service they are today. "I think I've gotten to a point where I have to be veiJ' realistic about what myself and my assistant can do without joining otlu:r forces, and without having the dollars .... " • "The spirit 's willing, butthefinmr:ial picture is not ... Ifyou're looking at a Voluntrer Center that just has part-time people, it's very, ve1y hard to expand. And it 's not that we don't want to- oh do we want to- because we see the need eve1y single day, but we're limited because offinances. " "There are so many needs in our com munity, but nobody has the funding .... " 111212005 Kahle Research Solutions VCM Presentation - 9/23/05 - Kahle Research SoiUiions 19 11 1212005 Some VCs want to expand the geographic areas they cover. "We would love to see the Student Service Award program throughout (our area). Th ere are 54 high schools in (our area); we 've got six ofthemjustfor (our counties). We would just love to expand it to ot!JZr communities .. " Expand ing the tvpes of services offered is a common theme among these VC leaders. " We do want to expand, I do see opportunities in ow· community, especially with the schools and the college. " Many VC leaders express a desire to ex pand the target populations they serve. For several, youth volunteerism is a growing area of focus . "For us, I think our next expansion is going to be some sort ofa formalized y outh program for volunteerism. We do serve youth volunteers, but not in any organized way as many Volunteer Centers do at this point because we just ha ven 'I had th e reso urces to do that." VCM Presentation - 9/23/05 - Kahle Research Solutions 20 10 �Robert W. Kahle Phase II Recomn1endations Key In1plications for Phase II One type of surve y will not capture all or even most VCs' work (components vary too widely by VC) . Even one method of data collection will not work with all because of differences in technological sophi stication, knowl edge of data collection, existin g data resources, etc. Impact evaluation requires more than research. Common tool s (software), trai ning (logic modeling is excellent sta rt), and common definitions are necessary for effective outcome/impact research to be conducted in the VC Re-think data coll ection approaches for phase II. Use multipl e methods to database creation with data sourced from: - existing documents (annual reports, Web sites) - telephone and mail semi-structured interviews, Request and faci litate development of sta ndard definitions of a small number of cri tical variables and common outputs so impact evaluation can proceed. Enco urage competing software providers to adopt standard de finition s/coll ection protocol so that any titl e can be used with comparable stati stics produced. Purchase, distribute, consult, support only compatible software/Web site as key future data coll ection method. ln coordinati on with Voluntee r Centers of Cali forni a and other major cli ents ofsoflware, request standard protoco ls and compatible outputs as system requirements. Do not wait for this to begin the process of definin g and collecting criti cal output/outcome variables for VCs in Michigan. environment. There is a great opportunity for Michi gan to be national leade r; de fin e the model. Documentin g the impact of Michi gan's VCs would be a substanti al chall enge within a stable context. The cha llenge is magnifi ed by the level of uncertainty, rapid change, inter-organizational tensions, fragmented support, organizational va riation . Choosing between competing software/Web site providers has potenti al to fragmen t VCs in Michigan even further. tt /212005 Kahle Research Solutions VCM Presentation - 9/23/05 - Kahle Research Solutions 2t tt /212005 VCM Presentation - 9/23/05- Kahle Research Soluti ons 22 11 �Robert W.

Great Media Conference Call Notes October 27, 2005 Participants: Rob Collier AI Swain Shaun VanHorn Kathy Young-Welch Janet Lawson Janice Harvey Marketing Strategy: Objective: In order to meet our Conm1ission Goals (Mentor Michigan, Cool Cities and Great Media), we need to develop customized structured marketing tools to engage any segment of the community we decide to interface with. The development of these tools would afford us a marketing model throughout the state that all volunteers, commissioners and others could easily identify with and articulate. It is a model that is successfully utilized by the U.S. Census Bureau and a model that was successfully used with Detroit's Promise. I. The tools would take fom1 of customized volunteerism fact sheets/commitment forms that encourage, identify and offer suggested forms ofvolunteerism for specific sectors. a. Recommended Sector Fact Sheets/Commitment Form could be for the business community, faith-based entities, sports teams, education institutions, specialty groups, sports teams, community groups, individuals, the media etc. II. Each sheet would be customized to speak to how volunteerism creates and nurtures stronger communities in that specific sector. III. The second part of the sheet could be used to allow entity to explain how they are already involved, ask them to step up more, solicit involvement if it does not exist, provide examples of how and provide a entity contact who will have the tinle to interface with commission staff or volunteers for ongoing dialogue. IV. Benefits of structured marketing tools: Any commissioner, staff or volunteer can pitch volunteerism in a coordinated fashion anywhere in the state. The structure lends itself to measurables because you would have a commitment form completed by the entity and follow-up can easily be ensued. The commitments garnered from the entities can be utilized for peer leveraging as an incentive for an annual report-out (perhaps during the GSA). Great Media Strategy Objective: To gain more media partners to help tell our wonderful stories, create more volunteerism awareness, create more volunteers and help make volunteerism a mainstay in all of ��Commissioners' Commitment to Goals I Programs 2005-06 GREAT MEDIA 3. We will tell the story of Michigan's national leadership position and prototype the Michigan volunteer infrastructure. We will let others know what's great and strong about volunteerism in Michigan. We will tell the positive Michigan story of this coordinated initiative using community and corporate volunteerism to solve large Michigan problems. We will demonstrate the cooperative model between MCSC, CMA, VCM, MNA, MCC and Michigan's Promise. Currently these MCSC Commissioners and friends have pledged time to support this committee: Rob Collier Shaun VanHorn AI Swain Larry Williamson Mike Thomas Kathy Young-Welch � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
