Shortly after, the Michigan Campus Compact Board of Directors accepted his challenge to recruit 1500 mentors in the state over the next three years. Mentor Michigan, led by Governor Jennifer Granholm and First Gentleman Dan Mulhern, is working to ensure that all of our youth have ongoing relationships with stable, caring adults. Mentor Michigan is working with existing mentoring programs to support and enhance mentoring throughout the state. Many Michigan Campus Compact member campuses have mentoring programs as part of their co-curricular and/or service-learning offerings to students. These programs work with local K-12 schools, churches, libraries, e-mentoring and nonprofit organizations, and include such programs as the following : Lunch Buddies Select Sixty President's Leadership Academy Reach Out! Adopt-A-Grandparent Mentor Mecosta Vista Maria Home for Girls Footsteps Campfire Saginaw Co. Youth Leadership Institute Reading Buddies Wayne Community Shelters As a result of a survey to MCC member campuses conducted this fall, we estimate that at least 1121 students, staff and faculty were mentoring this past academic year, together serving at least 2,577 Michigan residents. To date, we estimate that Michigan Colleges and Universities have recruited and placed 74.7% of the mentors requested. Additionally, the Michigan Campus Compact has encouraged students to mentor and give back to youth programs through Michigan Services Scholars, AmeriCorps' Education Award program. In one year, Michigan Campus Compact Service Scholars has engaged 248 students, providing 34,406 hours of service to youth programs. Michigan Campus Compact asked the staff, faculty and students who coord inate these mentoring programs on campuses to list out what additional support they need to enhance college students' commitment to mentoring. The responses to the Mentor Michigan survey indicated the need for support in the following areas: • • • • • • • • • • More staff to handle placement and partnerships; Information about successful mentoring programs, including best; practices, training and evaluation materials; Incentives for students to become involved; Release time for staff to participate; Mentor programs with more flexible hours for students; Transportation for students and mentees; Data collection tools; More information about e-mentoring; Grant dollars to expand programming; and Ways to make students aware of the value of mentoring. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Mentor Michigan is dedicated to awakening and nurturing the amazing potential in youth by fostering ongoing, stable relationships with caring adults. We work with mentoring programs throughout the state of Michigan to recrui~ retain and reward mentors. We strengthen mentoring programs through training, research, and forming partnerships with businesses, faith-based and nonprofit organizations, educational institutions, and government. Mentor Michigan also has developed standards that support high-quality mentoring in Michigan. Right now, there's a young person who needs you. Maybe it's a child of a single parent who works two jobs or it's an ambitious teen wondering "what to be" when she grows up. Or perhaps it's a 12-year-old boy with two older sisters longing for a male friend to hang out with. Whatever the case, young people from all walks of life benefit from the encouragement, impartial advice, and fun times shared with caring adults like you. Giving a little gives back a lot. It's the little things that mentors do, like tossing around a football, helping with algebra homework, or simply saying, "Hey, call me anytime to talk," that make young people feel special- and adults feel rewarded. Studies show that mentoring helps youth improve academic performance, raise self-esteem, and develop healthy relationships. And, 99%of mentors say they would do it again, and recommend it to a friend, because of how good it makes them feel. Be the change. Anyone can be a mentor. It doesn't take any special skills to make just an hour a week last a lifetime. Your support might help a kid fend off peer pressure, teach an ambitious teen a skill that leads to her career, or offer a young boy a much-needed opportunity to talk "heart-to-heart." Just think-you can be the role model you had (or wished you had) when you were a kid! To find a place to mentor, visit www.mentormichigan.com, call 1-800-YOLUNTEER (865-8683), or contact a mentoring program in your community. 2115106 12:43:12 PM I �QUALITY PROGRAM STANDARDS FOR YOUTH MENTORING MICHIG-' N COMMUNITY SERVICE CO MM ISSION Mentor Michigan and its Providers Council believe it is vital for Michigan's mentoring programs to operate with the highest possible quality, so the Mentor Michigan Quality Program Standards for Youth were developed. The Standards are in place in order for youth to receive the most beneficial and productive results from a mentoring relationship. The Standards are not meant to certify or accredit mentoring programs. They provide a planning and assessment framework that raises the bar for mentoring programs. The Standards provide a basis for each program (board, staff and other constituents) to make a conscious comparison and determination of how the Standards will best meet the needs of youth and families in their service area. The Mentor Michigan Providers Council, a body of 20 mentoring experts from across the state, drafted the Standards from best practices developed by national, state and local organizations. First Gentleman Daniel G. Mulhern presented the Standards and gathered feedback from mentoring professionals throughout the state at four Regional Trainings in the summer of 2005. Feedback also was gathered from mentoring programs that were unable to attend a Regional Training. The feedback was incorporated and the Standards finalized by the Mentor Michigan Providers Council in October 2005. B.

Welcome and Introduction - Chairperson Mulhem The meeting was called to order at 12:15 by Chairperson Mulhern and he gave a briefwelcome. Janet Lawson introduced new MCSC staff members, Marcy Bishop and Mark Mullaney, who are the new Ame1iCorps Program Officers, and Maisha Maurant, the new Mentor Michigan Commwucation Coordinator. Mr. Mulhem introduced Marsha Smith, a new MCSC Commissioner. He also recognized Commissioner Russ Mawby, who is not present at the meeting because he will be receiving an award from the Battle Creek business community today, and Janet Lawson and the MCSC Staff for all the good work they have done. II. Review and Approval of November 9, 2005, Minutes- Chairperson Mulhem Chairperson Mulhem asked for a motion to approve the minutes from the November 9, 2005, board meeting. Commissioner Seese moved to approve the minutes, Conunissioner Wlllpple seconded the motion. The motion passed unanimously. III. Executive Director Report- Janet Lawson A. Govemor's Service Awards- Ms. Lawson gave an update on the 2006 Govemor's Service Awards and shared that JeffDamels has agreed to co-host the event with the Govemor on May 20th. She shared that this year's event will be different in years past. There will not be a dinner this year but will be an entertainment venue including local entertainment acts. JeffDaniels will also perform. Kim Ross from Pfizer and Commissioner Kari Pardoe will serve as the co-chairs of the GSA Fund Development committee. Other committee members will be Jimmie Comer, Wendy Acho, Rob Collier, Joe Sowmick, Melome Colaianne and Vivian Pickard. Conunissioners went tlu·ough the list of potential sponsors and agreed to follow up with those they had contacts with. B. Calendar of Events/Meeting Dates- Ms. Lawson explained that the Russ Mawby Signature Service Project has been moved to May 22-23 due to the Govemor's Service Awards now taking place on May 20 111 • She also explained that there will not be a May MCSC Board Meeting because of the other events that will be happemng and the time commitments on Conunissioners. Ms. Lawson explained that Commissioners will be asked to make visits to federal legislators in April. Mr. Mulhern suggested that it would be a much better use of Commissioner's time to meet with Congressional members to share the need and impact of national service. Ms. Lawson also went through the list of other MCSC events this year that Commissioners will be invited to. C. Federal Funding - Kyle Caldwell gave an update on the President's budget for national service. There is a 12% reduction in the CNCS overall funding, there is another reduction to Learn & Serve funding (down to $34 million), there is flat funding for admimstrative dollars for state service commissions (there have 2 �been three new commissions added, so this is actually a reduction in funding) , there is a slight reduction in overall funding for AmeriCorps but the impact for Michigan funding is not known yet. He also gave an update on ServeMichigan and their efforts to inform the field about the national service funding cuts. Mr. Caldwell informed the Commissioners that there would be a Legislator Day at the Capitol where grantees will be invited to speak during an event highlighting national service. Commissioners are invited to attend this event. D . New Initiatives a. Environmental Volunteer Efforts - Ms. Lawson explained that the MCSC was approached by the University of Michigan and asked to house two interns this summer that will work on an initiative that will show what environmental volunteer efforts look like. It will include the environmental aspects of AmeriCorps programs (Grotmdwater Stewardship) and Learn & Serve programs. Commissioner Marsha Smith stated that she would be glad to help in the development of this area. Commissioner Pardoe also suggested looking at what some of the foundations are doing in this area and what direction they want to go in. Commissioner Kwak suggested making sure to be clear of what others are doing already. It could be that this initiative could create an alliance (similar to Mentor Michigan) of environmental volunteer agencies that already exist. Kyle Caldwell shared that Michigan Conservation Corps already exists and that the National Association of Conservation Corps would like to expand in Michigan. It may be appropriate to have a conversation with them also. (This is a state funded program and has also been an education award AmeriCorps program.) b. Habitat Mentoring Initiative - Ms. Lawson gave background on an initiative where Habitat will link their volunteers, when they are not working on a home, to the children of the families in the Habitat homes in a mentoring initiative. They will also have the children, along with their mentors, volunteering on Habitat builds. There will also be a curriculum available at the Habitat Restores where the Habitat volunteers will learn building skills with their mentors along with stress and time management skills. This initiative will be launched in Battle Creek. Commissioner Kwak asked that she be kept in the loop on this initiative as W .K. Kellogg Foundation may be of some help. c. Michigan Can1pus Compact Grant I Learn & Serve Higher Ed Grant Ms. Lawson explained that CNCS has higher education grants available. The MCSC and Michigan Campus Compact are working on a grant for mentoring on college and community college campus's and will be submitted soon. There is also a K-12 grant through the CNCS that the Service Learning staff is working on regarding mentoring. Learn & Serve has funding available to focus on K-12 school-based and the MCSC will use it through community-based organizations to work with nonprofit organizations to incorporate service-learning into their youth 3 �programming. The MCSC is applying for $400,000 which will be connected to peer mentoring where older kids will be m entoring yow1ger kids. The college piece, "Investing in College Futures", focuses on kids who don't have college on the horizon because it is not what they see in their family model. They will have a mentor from a college campus who shows them what college is about and should be part of their future. d. AmeriCorps Alumni - Ms. Lawson shared that both nationally and on the state level there are efforts to do a better job of connecting to AmeriCorps alumni to keep them participating service, link them back into commissions, and not to lose them. The tracking is sketchy because there is not a good tracking system for younger people as they move a lot. The MCSC is hoping to invite Michigan AmeriCorps alumni to the Governor's Service Awards and have them stand and be recognized. e. Impact Study - Ms. Lawson shared that her and Chaim1an Mulhern feel it is important to do an impact study in Michigan to find out how volunteerism affects communities (as a preventive model, education model, etc). What do we get for our volunteer dollar? How do we impact communities? We don ' t measure impact enough around volunteerism so how can we expect our elected officials to understand what the money is going for. Ms. Lawson and Kyle Caldwell have talked and feel that there needs to be an outside source to take a look at what Michigan is doing and put us up to some high standards and measure what we have done with our volunteer dollars and how that tracks in the state as far as impact. IV . Updates on Progress and Challenges A. Mentor Michigan - Mary Grill gave an update on National Mentoring Month successes including several radio interviews, television appearances and print articles involving Chairman Mulhern. He also attended 14 events during the month that involved mentoring. Ms. Lawson shared that the Mentor Michigan Leadership Council has been announced by the Governor. They will meet for the first time for a kick off meeting/reception on March 15. Commissioners are invited to attend. Paula VanDam presented Mentor Michigan Census findings from Wave III. The findings show that the number of current mentors is growing and that there are at least 30,000 kids in Michigan in formal mentoring relationships. It also shows that the awareness and the recruitment efforts are working because there is a growth of the nun1ber of inquiries (increased from Wave I to Wave III by 71% and applications are also up 67%). The task is to move the people from the application stage into the actual mentoring stage. A lot of information from Wave III is the same as previous census findings. Community-based men to ring is the most frequent type of men to ring, 4 �although school-based mentoring runs a close second even though there are more kids served through school-based mentoring. The other area that hasn't changed is the gender issue. Approximately 67 percent of the mentors are women and 33 percent are men based on the information the MCSC has collected. But 46 percent of the kids being served are male and 54 percent are female. There is still the issue of recruiting male mentors, which has been an ongoing issue through the census. Last fall the Mentor Michigan Quality Program Standards were developed in partnership with the MCSC and the Mentor Michigan Providers Cotmcil. Through the Wave III Census, the MCSC tried to gage where organizations were in meeting those standards. Some of the data learned was that at least 50 percent of the standards are being met across the board from organizations, and 10 of the 11 standards are being somewhat met. There is work to do in this area but it's a nice baseline to use the next wave of the census to gage if the MCSC is helping to move the needle in getting more programs to have the effective pieces in place to produce a quality mentoring progran1. Another piece measured in the census is satisfaction with Mentor Michigan. The findings showed that satisfaction was up from Wave II with 87 percent of those that completed the census saying they were either somewhat or very satisfied with the work of Mentor Michigan. The next wave of the census will take place in the fall (September to mid-October). Results will be available by the beginning ofNovember. There will be regional trainings scheduled to discuss the standards. Mentor Michigan will be hosting the first Mentoring Statewide Conference on October 25 1h where standards will be one of the areas discussed. B. AmeriCorps - Paula VanDam explained the backgronnd on the Michigan's AmeriCorps Competitive New Application (see memo dated February 10, 2006 for background). Staff recommends funding at the recommended amount of: American Red Cross ofWest Central MI at $331,045, ConnectMichigan Alliance at $518,140, The Guidance Center at $276,414, Habitat for Humanity Michigan at $400,906, Marquette Alger RESA at $187,765, Regents ofthe University ofMichigan at $368,894, and Volunteer Muskegon at $306,042. Commissioner Melonie Colaianne made a motion to approve the new funding, Commissioner Jerry Seese seconded the motion. The motion passed unanimously. Paula VanDam explained the background on the Michigan's AmeriCorps Competitive Renewal Application. Staff recommends funding at the recommended amount of: BHK Child Development at $689,078, City Year Detroit at $527,950, Good Samaritan Ministries at $132,285, Michigan Department of Agriculture at $230,239 and Michigan State University Extension at $256,269. Commissioner Jerry Seese made a motion to approve the renewal funding, Commissioner Ken Whipple seconded the motion. The motion passed unanimously. 5 �Paula VanDam explained the background on the Michigan's AmeriCorps Education Award Only Application. Staff recommends funding at the recommended amount for ConnectMichigan Alliance/Michigan Campus Compact at $24,000. Commissioner Bernard Parker made a motion to approve the education award only funding, Commissioner Kari Pardoe seconded the motion. The motion passed unanimously . C. D. V. • Commissioners to send in Governor's Service Awards - Mary Grill asked any nominations they may have. There will be a peer review process once nominations are received. The Peer Reviewers ' recommendations will be reviewed by the Governor's Service Awards Conunittee who will then approve their recommendations. Financial Report- Garry Gross gave an overview of the MCSC Financial Report. Public Comments Commissioner Whipple stressed the importance of looking at our priorities and making sure we are on task for those priorities. Chainnan Mulhern suggested that at the retreat in the fall that Commissioners can look at where the MCSC is at now, where do we want to be, what is the focus/need and how do we demonstrate our leverage. VI. Adjotm1 The meeting was adjourned at 3:05pm. The Commissioners joined their subcommittee work session (Great Media, Mentor Michigan, Cool Cities/Cool Companies). 6 � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

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: February 10, 2006 RE: Updates on Progress and Challenges This February meeting is being held during the 101h Annual Institute on Service-Learning, sponsored by the MCSC and Michigan Campus Compact on the University of Michigan Flint campus. The Institute offers professional development opportunities for educators in K-12 and higher education on strategies and best practices for service-learning. Now, for your review, the face of service at both the national and state level since we last met. National Service In Michigan we believe in empowering youth to serve. It was very rewarding to see Ja'Detrus Hamilton, a Learn and Serve America student from Leakesville, Mississippi, honored for his volunteer service during the President's State of the Union address in January. Most of his volunteer service was carried out through Youth Engaged in Service (YES!). The goal of YES is to enlist, train, and empower high school students to be service leaders in their schools and communities. Michigan has a similar statewide program, SLYC (Service Learning Youth Council), which builds leadership skills in our service-learners. These students return to their communities and advocate and encourage teachers and administrators to participate in service and service-learning. Ja'Detrus represented the 1.5 million young people nationwide who serve each year though Learn and Serve America. The President's 2007 budget request was released last week. The Administration has requested an $851 .5 million budget for the Corporation for National and Community Service, which will enable the Corporation to support 75,000 AmeriCorps members, approximately 500,000 Senior Corps volunteers, and one million Learn and Serve America participants. In addition, the budget will allow the Corporation's programs to mobilize and manage at least one million community 1 �( volunteers. That said, the FY07 budget is a 5.4 percent reduction for the Corporation. More than half the reduction comes from the proposed shut down of AmeriCorps NCCC. Other reductions include an 8 percent decrease for Learn and Serve and a 2 percent decrease for AmeriCorps, which totals a 14 percent loss for AmeriCorps since 2003. The implication ofthese proposed cuts on Michigan's AmeriCorps and Learn and Serve programs are being studied. The proposed budget will be followed by appropriations hearings in the House and Senate later this spring and by committee mark-ups, floor consideration, conference committees, and more. We hope to engage the MCSC Commissioners as advocates for national service this April. Finally, the Corporation released its Strategic Plan for 2006-2010. This plan lays out a national vision for volunteer service and has at its core the same principal that we, as a Commission, are committed to in Michigan. Their plan is to "build a better future for all Americans that will include a more widespread culture of service, more opportunities for young people to succeed, more schools that encourage citizenship, and more older Americans using their skills to give back to their communities". Certainly we hear echoes of our own mission statement in their language. The great news is that we, as a Commission, have embarked on that path for the past three years under the leadership of First Gentleman Mulhern. Through Mentor Michigan, AmeriCorps, Learn and Serve, Citizen Corps and other statewide initiatives we will stay the course. The four focus areas identified by the Corporation for future funding are: mobilizing more volunteers, ensuring a better future for all of America's youth, engaging students in communities, and harnessing baby boomers' experience. This is great news for Michigan, since most of our volunteer programs have these goals at t~eir core. Statewide Service The MCSC is housed within the Department of Labor and Economic Growth (DLEG). In January David Hollister stepped down as Director ofDLEG and Governor Granholm recently appointed Paula Cunningham, former President of Lansing Community College, as the new Director. Paula is ideally suited to help Governor Granholm plan for a 21 51 Century economy with her extensive workforce development knowledge. Governor's Service Awards: We are thrilled to announce that Jeff Daniels, founder of the Purpose Rose Theater in Chelsea and beloved Michigan film and stage actor, will be joining us as co-host ofthe 2006 Governor's Service Awards. The event is being held on Saturday, May 201h, in Southeast Michigan at a venue still being determined. Fundraising is now our #1 priority. Commissioner Kari Pardoe and Kim Ross of Pfizer, Inc. are leading the fundraising efforts. The 2006 celebration will have a different format than in years past. There will be a private reception for finalists and sponsors, hosted by the Governor, Mr. Daniels, and First Gentleman Mulhern, followed by a theatre-style awards presentation. (There will not be a sit down dinner this year.) As details become available, we will share them with you. Mentor Michigan: January was National Mentoring Month and Michigan Mentoring Month. Hopefully, in each of your communities you heard Dan Mulhern on the airwaves, often very early in the morning during drive time, touting the benefits ofmentoring. Dan also attended 12 mentoring events during January and was interviewed 20 times for radio and TV shows. We are sure that the next wave of the Mentor 2 �Michigan Census will show that the increased focus on mentoring during January led to more mentor matches. We are grateful to the Detroit Pistons Foundation for the production of a rnentoring PSA with the First Gentleman and Chauncey Billups and for their focus on mentoring during an afternoon basketball game on MLK Day. The success of this year's Detroit Auto Show touched Mentor Michigan in many ways this year. For the first time, Mentor Michigan agencies encouraged all of their mentor-mentee matches to attend both the Preview event and the auto show, hopefully their promotion of auto show tickets drove up the sales and the attendance at the event. We are also grateful to the Detroit Area Auto Dealers Association for their $50,000 contribution to Mentor Michigan. By Executive Order, the Mentor Michigan Leadership Council was announced on January 20, 2006. Included in your board materials is a roster of our new Mentor Michigan champions. We are pleased that each of them are willing to help us create an epidemic of service and help Michigan's children find a caring adult for each of their lives. Please join us on March 15, 2006, from 3:00 - 5:00p.m. for the Mentor Michigan Leadership Council welcome reception. The event will be held in the Michigan Room, Romney Building, downtown Lansing. The Mentor Michigan Providers Council wrapped up National Mentor Month with legislative visits on Tuesday, January 31 st. Provider's Council members met with elected officials and their staff members to talk about mentoring, the challenges they face trying to increase servi~e to kids in their communities, and to talk about how each elected official could assist them in their mission. Congrats to each of you who were instrumental in creating a super successful Super Bowl XL. Over 40 mentor/mentee matches attended the Super Bowl Kick-off Event "A Detroit Salute" on Monday, January 30th thanks to the Super Bowl XL Host Committee. Whether your Super Bowl efforts were realized through the foundation you represent or the business or nonprofit organization where you are employed, we are grateful for your outstanding efforts during the week of Super Bowl festivities . The new projects launched following the Super Bowl will support youth, low-income fan1ilies, the homeless, and disaster victims long after 2006. We are proud to be part of a state, and a city, that rolled out the red carpet and showed midwest hospitality to many who were disbelievers. AmeriCorps: At the Commission Meeting, the board will be reviewing and approving the MCSC's Michigan's AmeriCorps Competitive Funding package that will be submitted to the Corporation for National and Community Service. The funding package will include both new and continuation requests. Please see the attached funding recommendation for additional information. Learn and Serve: Approximately $500,000 is available for the 2006-2007 Learn and Serve- Michigan funding cycle to begin September 1, 2006. Local public school districts, intermediate school districts, and public school academies are eligible to apply for these grants that range from $6,000 for new small districts to $40,000 for larger, more experienced districts. Outreach sessions were held in January in Lansing, Detroit and Traverse City. Applications will be peer and staff reviewed and are due April 5, 2006. 3 � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

MSCS grants supported nearly 900,000 hours of volunteer service in 2005. ) .. • Together we 're better! �Connecting fl1t () l l ( Program Highl ights and Impact ( Serve Michigan Sound public policy is vital to the future of vo lunteerism in Michigan. The public sector must be a full partner with the private sector in ensuring that service and civic engagement are channeled and harnessed to help meet the state's tremendous challenges . Serve Michigan engaged a broad coalition of partners to demonstrate the concrete benefits of vo lunteerism to elected officials and to ma intain or increase public and private funding for volunteer efforts and programs. The impact of its work in 2005 included a successful broad-based campaign of 283 coalition partners which helped restore $980,000 in state funding to the Michigan Community Service Commission . This enabled Michigan to leverage $6.8 million in federal funding and 900,000 hours of volunteer service. AmeriCorps*VISTA This MCC program has generated impressive human and financial resources to enable college students to address the needs of children in low-income communities . MCC VISTA volunteers have made a tremendous impact while gain ing valuable service-learning experience outside the classroom . Consider that in just one year, MCC VISTAs have: Recruited 3,250 college students as new volunteers. Performed nearly 100,000 hours of volunteer service , valued at more than $1.7 million. Michigan's Promise We believe that our children are resources and leadersa force for good. They are part of the solution , not the problem. Michigan's Promise is the state's response to the national America's Promise effort, founded by General Colin L. Powell . It is an on-going campaign to ensure that our children have access to the Five Promises: Caring Adults, Safe Places, Healthy Start & Future, Marketable Skills, and Opportunities to Serve. Research shows that if these five promises are consistently fulfilled, they can significantly advance the hea lth and well-being of the next generation . This increases the chances of youth becoming successful adults. �We owe a debt of gratitud e to the 227 organ izations and individu als who rose to the challenge and built this endowed, long-term support mechanism for Michigan volunteers .

Members reviewed the staff recommendations outlined in a memo from Paula Kaiser VanDam dated June 6, 2006. Chairman Mulhem had a concern that theSE Michigan schools were not approved for funding. Ms. VanDam explained that MCSC staff had worked very closely with these schools to prepare them for the application process. The applications did not meet both MCSC and CNCS requirements for funding. Commissioners suggested that the MCSC staff contact these organizations to review their applications and help them further prepare to apply again next year. Commissioner Pardoe also suggested that it might help to have the local MCSC Commissioners work with the MCSC staff in these areas to help the programs develop a service-learning program and to prepare better applications. �Chairman Mulhern would like the MCSC staff to make it a priority to assist theSE Michigan area establish better programs so that they can receive funding. MCSC staff will bring suggestions and recommendations to improve this area to the next MCSC board meeting in September. Commissioner Parker suggested that it may be best to approve fw1ding applications by region, instead of statewide. It was also suggested that school leadership needs to be identified to help the program start up and succeed. Chairman Mulhern also suggested that the MCSC should discuss at the allocation amount and the formula application process at the next board meeting. The MCSC needs to have creative strategies to begin to initiate interest in SE Michigan and to engage more of the Commissioners in this area of concern.

Commissioner Mawby moved to support the motion and Commissioner Pardoe seconded the motion. The motion passed unanimously. Staff Recommendations for Michigan's AmeriCorps Formula Renewal and New Applications Paula Kaiser VanDam explained that the MCSC was awarded $2,823,228 to fund new and continuing funding programs and could fund no more than 234 full-time equivalent (FTE) members.

She also explained that one AmeriCorps program that was previously funding, did not do well in peer and staff review and would not receive funding this year. Chairman Mulhern asked for a motion to support the staff recommendations for the AmeriCorps Formula Renewal and New applications. Commissioner Parker moved to support the motion and Commissioner Mawby seconded the motion. The motion passed unanimously. The MCSC needs to mobilize the programs to make their pitches to legislators to increase funding. It was suggested that there should be time at the MCSC Board Retreat to establish a strategy for using Congress to help the MCSC funding.

I am confident that I can get Cathryn Apley to speak to the group . Cathryn was the single mom who spoke so eloquently at the Signature Service Project here. She is by far the best public speaker of all the 10 fam ilies on Rural Street and she has recently told me that she'd love to do more PR for HFH . She works full time, but she could probably come speak during her lunch hour break (plus her employer has been great to her when she's doing something for Habitat for Humanity). If that sounds good I'll go ahead and contact her myself, and if she says she can , then I'll give you her contact info . If you'd like; I would be willing to speak, for 5-minutes or less, to the Board too . I would love to tell them how important the AmeriCorps program has been to th is affiliate and to Habitat for Humanity here in Michigan . The only th ing on my calendar for that day, other than the regular busyness of my work, is a conference call meeting from 2-3 :PM. Best regards, Jim Jim Faulkner Executive Director Blue Water Habitat for Humanity PO Box 611867 2929 Lapeer Road , Suite B Port Huron M148061-1867 Phone: 810-985-9080 Fax: 81 0-985-4 798 www.bwhabitat.org -----Original Message----From : Megan Sargent [mailto :SargentM1 @michigan .gov] Sent: Thu rsday, August 31 , 2006 1:34PM To: Jim Faulkner Cc: Debi Orick; Janice Harvey; Paula Kaiser Van Dam Subject: Habitat Family Hi Jim, I'd like to ask for your assistance in connecting us with one of the Habitat families from the 2005 Signature Service Project Habitat Build .

These grantees, in tum, make grants to local schools to implement service-learning programs for young people of elementary and secondary school age. The State Education Agencies make sub grants to local education agencies, provide training and technical assistance, conduct program evaluation, facilitate peer networks of service-learning practitioners, and support service-learning throughout their network. At the local school district level, subgrantees create and expand service-learning programs, train staff, faculty, adult volunteers and students in service-learning, and evaluate the impact of service-learning on the participants. States are required to sub grant 80%- 85% of their total federal Learn and Serve America budget for the implementation of service-learning. No more than 20% can be used for training and capacity building. The purpose of school-based grants to expand high-quality service-learning in K-12 schools to help the Corporation reach its goal of fostering service-learning in at least fifty percent of all public schools by the year 2010. The Corporation has also set a goal to increase the percentage of Learn and Serve participants who come from disadvantaged backgrounds from forty percent to sixty percent. The Federal funds for this program are shrinking. In FY 04 and FY 05 it was funded at $43 million. In FY 06 it was reduced to $37 million. If the proposed figures for FY 07 are enacted it will shrink to $34 million. State Priorities: The MCSC currently funds school districts to provide students with sequential service-learning experiences so that, at a minimum, all students will have at least one service-learning experience at the elementary, middle school, and high school levels. School districts design service-learning programs to address core and non-core curriculum standards and provide a strong emphasis on disadvantaged youth. Local public school districts, intermediate school districts, and public school academies are eligible to apply for Learn and Serve- Michigan funds. Grants are awarded based on the experience (planning, implementation and institutionalization) and on classification of the school district by pupil membership. Grantees are eligible for a 1 �maximum of six years of funding. One year of funding is at the planning level, three at the implementation level and two at the institutionalization level. District Size Up to 2,500 students From 2,501 to 19,999 students 20,000 or more students Planning Grant Amount $6,000 $8,000 Implementation Grant Amount $15,000 $24,500 Institutionalization Grant Amount $15,000 $24,500 $10,000 $40,000 $40,000 As the chart below indicates, our subgrants to school districts have been reduced by $125,000 over the past three years. Total Amount Subgrant Amount Planning and Capacity Admin FY04 $742,446 $525,000 $102,306 $ 115,140 FY05 $727,650 $475,000 $98,713 $153,937 FY06 $623,417 $400,000 $ 91,421 $131 ,996 Limitations to Coverage: The MCSC Learn and Serve- Michigan team seeks broad participation in this funding pool. In order to reach communities who underutilize these funds, grant outreach trainings were offered in targeted regions - Detroit, Traverse City and Lansing. We were successful in increasing interest in Northern Michigan but found limited interest in the Detroit area. Of the few proposals received from Southeast Michigan, half of them were not recommended for funding. We were successful in funding programs in the Metro Area (Clarkston, Lake Orion, L'Anse Creuse, Southgate, Wayne Westland) but have not had a direct funding relationship with Detroit schools in approximately eight years. In a brief survey of other states' strategies for reaching urban schools we found similar targeted outreach strategies and similar funding formulas that provided differing grant amounts based on per pupil or per teacher formulas. The states surveyed (New York, Texas, California and New Jersey) indicated limited success with the strategies they have used noting that the large bureaucracy in urban districts and small funding pool were the largest barriers. In July, the Learn and Serve - Michigan Program Officers attended the National Urban ServiceLearning Conference in order to create an improved strategy for engaging urban school districts. In conversation with experts in the field, an education consultant from Detroit and through workshop sessions it became clear the outreach and grant making strategies we use in other districts is ineffective in Detroit. It is impossible to expect district-wide implementation with the limited federal budget. It may be most effective to target our efforts at the building and educator level. 2 �• Potential Strategies: The Learn and Serve - Michigan staff met at the Urban Service-Learning conference to develop a purposeful strategy for engaging more urban educators and students in Learn and ServeMichigan programming. The following plan of action is proposed: - Through existing contacts and contacts from the Urban Service-Learning Institute/National Youth Leadership Council we will do outreach to administrators and educators in metro Detroit and other urban areas throughout Michigan. (Winter 20062007) Offer targeted funding at the building level. Once we know what our FY 07 funding allotment will be we will earmark an amount to support the urban initiative. We would target individual school buildings and/or classrooms. The funds would support professional development and classroom mini-grants. Each building would receive a mentor/coach to assist with program start up and growth. (Spring 2007) Offer targeted professional development at the building level including evening/weekend PD, stipends and CEU credits for participating teachers. This would be offered to those districts that did not receive Learn and Serve - Michigan grants. The selected educators could also be recruited to participate in our Service-Learning Teacher Fellow Program in order to increase their leadership for service-learning in their buildings and district. Depending on demand, our existing Learn and Serve- Michigan Training and Technical Assistance funds may be adequate. (Spring/Summer/Fall 2007) The Learn and Serve- Michigan staff have already approached the National Youth Leadership Council about bringing 2007 or 2008 Urban Service-Learning Institute to Detroit. The summer institute located somewhere in the city center may assist us in reaching more ofMichigan's urban educators. Lastly, the Learn and Serve - Michigan Program Officers, with guidance from the MCSC Fund Development Committee, would like to seek additional sources of funding to support this effort. These additional funding sources would allow us to offer financial and programmatic support to educators in key urban areas. (Winter 2006) Discussion Questions 1) What are your overall thoughts/suggestions about the proposed strategies? 2) Do you have additional suggestions? 3) Are there other educational or youth initiatives in Southeastern Michigan with which we should connect? 4) Next Steps I Volunteers to work with staff on this issue. 3 �2000-2007 Learn and Serve- Michigan • OGEMAW NEWAYGO MECOSTA ISAilEtLA IOSCO M101.AN0 • GRA'TIOt • 00-07 Learn and Serve Michigan School-Based Program(s) serve this county AlLEGAN • • • • • • • • • • • • llAI1RY EATON CAlHOUN (;ASS ST.

Mulhern today announced that two grants totaling more than $2.1 million have been awarded to provide greater opportunity for disadvantaged yo uth to have mentors, participate in service-leaming activities, and get exposure to higher education. The grants were awarded by Learn and Serve America to the Michigan Community Service Commission (MCSC) and Michigan Campus Compact (MCC). "Many disadvantaged children in Michigan will be mentored and be expos~d to higher education possibilities as the result of these grants," said Mulhern, chair of the Michigan Cornn1unity Service Commission. "They will have strong role models in their lives to help them with everyday issues. Many will have the added benefit of being exposed to college and university campuses for the first time in their lives. We hope more of these youth wi ll begin to believe that higher education is possible for them." The MCSC program, which is a partnership with Michigan State University Extension, will receive $1,019,250 to promote peer mentoring. Peer mentoring differs from traditional mentoring because it involves older children mentoring younger children. This type of mentoring will increase the development of young mentors in the areas of social development, citizenship, and leadership while they provide younger students with a stable role model. The MCC progran1, which is a partnership with Mentor Michigan, will receive $1,141,017 to recruit college students to serve as mentors to disadvantaged youth in their community. It is also an investment in the future of the men tees by reinforcing the merits of higher education to the youth. "Every one of us wants the children of Michigan to grow into skilled, aware, and responsible adults," said Amy Smitter, director of Michigan Campus Compact. "Service-learning engages students in problem-solving, reflection, decision making, and reasoning, while also increasing the youths' personal and social responsibility." Both grants issued by Leam and Serve America will be used over a three-year period for service-learning. Service-learning is a type of instruction that connects meaningful service to the community with children's learning activities. This innovative teaching method supports the Michigan Department of Education's goal of supporting individualized learning, real-world experiences, and higher standards for learning. The programs are slated to begin in late 2006. �l Learn and Serve America provides support to schools, higher education institutions and conummity-based organizations that engage students, their teachers, and others on serviceleaming. In addition to serving as chair of the MCSC, Mulhern also heads Mentor Michigan, a statewide initiative working to ensure that all youth who need mentors have high-quality mentoring experiences. Under his leadership, Mentor Michigan is serving 30,000 mentees and working with more than 250 mentoring programs throughout the state to recruit, retain, and reward mentors.

Welcome and Introduction - Chairperson Mulhern The meeting was called to order at 12:15 by Chairperson Mulhern and he gave a brief welcome. Janet Lawson introduced new MCSC staff members , Marcy Bishop and Mark Mullaney, who are the new AmeriCorps Program Officers, and Maisha Maurant, the new Mentor Michigan Communication Coordinator. Mr. Mulhern introduced Marsha Smith, a new MCSC Commissioner. He also recognized Commissioner Russ Mawby, who is not present at the meeting because he will be receiving an award from the Battle Creek business community today, and Janet Lawson and the MCSC Staff for all the good work they have done. II. Review and Approval of November 9, 2005, Minutes- Chairperson Mulhern Chairperson Mulhern asked for a motion to approve the minutes from the November 9, 2005 , board meeting. Commissioner Seese moved to approve the minutes, Commissioner Whipple seconded the motion. The motion passed unanimously. III. Executive Director Report- Janet Lawson A. Governor' s Service Awards - Ms. Lawson gave an update on the 2006 Governor' s Service Awards and shared that Jeff Daniels has agreed to co-host the event with the Governor on May 20th. She shared that this year' s event will be different in years past. There will not be a dinner this year but will be an entertainment venue including local entertainment acts. Jeff Daniels will also perform. Kim Ross from Pfizer and Commissioner Kari Pardoe will serve as the co-chairs of the GSA Fund Development committee. Other committee members are Jimmie Comer, Wendy Acho, Rob Collier, Joe Sowmick, Melanie Colaianne and Vivian Pickard. Commissioners went through the list of potential sponsors and agreed to follow up with those they had contacts with. B. Calendar of Events/Meeting Dates - Ms. Lawson explained that the Russ Mawby Signature Service Project has been moved to May 22-23 due to the Governor' s Service Awards now taking place on May 20 1h. She also explained that there will not be a May MCSC Board Meeting because of the other events that will be happening and the time commitments on Commissioners. Ms. Lawson explained that Commissioners will be asked to make visits to federal legislators in April. Mr. Mulhern suggested that it would be a much better use of Commissioner' s time to meet with Congressional members to share the need and impact of national service. Ms. Lawson also went through the list of other MCSC events this year that Commissioners will be invited to. C. Federal Funding- Kyle Caldwell gave an update on the President's budget for national service. There is a 12% reduction in the CNCS overall fundin g, there is another reduction to Learn & Serve funding (down to $34 million), there is fl at funding for administrative dollars for state service commissions (there have 2 �been three new commissions added, so this is actually a reduction in funding), there is a slight reduction in overall funding for AmeriCorps but the impact for Michigan funding is not known yet. He also gave an update on ServeMichigan and their efforts to inform the field about the national service funding cuts. Mr. Caldwell informed the Commissioners that there would be a Legislator Day at the Capitol where grantees will be invited to speak during an event highlighting national service. Commissioners are invited to attend this event. D. New Initiatives a. Environmental Volunteer Efforts - Ms. Lawson explained that the MCSC was approached by the University of Michigan and asked to house two interns this summer that will work on an initiative that will show what environmental volunteer efforts look like. It will include the environmental aspects of AmeriCorps programs (Groundwater Stewardship) and Learn & Serve programs. Commissioner Marsha Smith stated that she would be glad to help in the development of this area. Commissioner Pardoe also suggested looking at what some of the foundations are doing in this area and what direction they want to go in. Commissioner Kwak suggested making sure to be clear of what others are doing already. It could be that this initiative could create an alliance (similar to Mentor Michigan) of environmental volunteer agencies that already exist. Kyle Caldwell shared that Michigan Conservation Corps already exists and that the National Association of Conservation Corps would like to expand in Michigan. It may be appropriate to have a conversation with them also. (This is a state funded program and has also been an education award AmeriCorps program.) b. Habitat Mentoring Initiative- Ms. Lawson gave background on an initiative where Habitat will link their volunteers, when they are not working on a home, to the children of the families in the Habitat homes in a mentoring initiative. They will also have the children, along with their mentors, volunteering on Habitat builds. There will also be a curriculum available at the Habitat Restores where the Habitat volunteers will learn building skills with their mentors along with stress and time management skills. This initiative will be launched in Battle Creek. Commissioner Kwak asked that she be kept in the loop on this initiative as W.K. Kellogg Foundation may be of some help. c. Michigan Campus Compact Grant I Learn & Serve Higher Ed GrantMs. Lawson explained that CNCS has higher education grants available. The MCSC and Michigan Campus Compact are working on a grant for mentoring on college and community college campus's and will be submitted soon. There is also a K -12 grant through the CNCS that the Service Learning staff is working on regarding mentoring. Learn & Serve has funding available to focus on K-12 school-based and the MCSC will use it through community-based organizations to work with nonprofit organizations to incorporate service-learning into their youth 3 �programming. The MCSC is applying for $400,000 which will be connected to peer mentoring where older kids will be mentoring younger kids. The college piece, "Investing in College Futures", focuses on kids who don't have college on the horizon because it is not what they see in their family model. They will have a mentor from a college campus who shows them what college is about and should be part of their future. d. AmeriCorps Alumni - Ms . Lawson shared that both nationally and on the state level there are efforts to do a better job of connecting to AmeriCorps alumni to keep them participating service, link them back into commissions, and not to lose them. The tracking is sketchy because there is not a good tracking system for younger people as they move a lot. The MCSC is hoping to invite Michigan AmeriCorps alumni to the Governor's Service Awards and have them stand and be recognized. e. Impact Study- Ms . Lawson shared that her and Chairman Mulhern feel it is important to do an impact study in Michigan to find out how volunteerism affects communities (as a preventive model, education model, etc). What do we get for our volunteer dollar? How do we impact communities? We don't measure impact enough around volunteerism so how can we expect our elected officials to understand what the money is going for. Ms. Lawson and Kyle Caldwell have talked and feel that there needs to be an outside source to take a look at what Michigan is doing and put us up to some high standards and measure what we have done with our volunteer dollars and how that tracks in the state as far as impact. IV. Updates on Progress and Challenges A. Mentor Michigan -Mary Grill gave an update on National Mentoring Month successes including several radio interviews, television appearances and print articles involving Chairman Mulhern. He also attended 14 events during the month that involved mentoring. Ms. Lawson shared that the Mentor Michigan Leadership Council has been announced by the Governor. They will meet for the first time for a kick off meeting/reception on March 15. Commissioners are invited to attend. Paula VanDam presented Mentor Michigan Census findings from Wave III. The findings show that the number of current mentors is growing and that there are at least 30,000 kids in Michigan in formal mentoring relationships. It also shows that the awareness and the recruitment efforts are working because there is a growth of the number of inquiries (increased from Wave I to Wave III by 71% and applicatioqs are also up 67%). The task is to move the people from the application stage into the actual mentoring stage. A lot of information from Wave III is the same as previous census findings. Community-based mentoring is the most frequent type ofmentoring, 4 �although school-based mentoring runs a close second even though there are more kids served through school-based mentoring. The other area that hasn't changed is the gender issue. Approximately 67 percent of the mentors are women and 33 percent are men based on the information the MCSC has collected. But 46 percent of the kids being served are male and 54 percent are female. There is still the issue of recruiting male mentors, which bas been an ongoing issue through the census. Last fall the Mentor Michigan Quality Program Standards were developed in partnership with the MCSC and the Mentor Michigan Providers Council. Through the Wave III Census, the MCSC tried to gage where organizations were in meeting those standards. Some of the data learned was that at least 50 percent of the standards are being met across the board from organizations, and 10 of the 11 standards are being somewhat met. There is work to do in this area but it's a nice baseline to use the next wave oftbe census to gage if the MCSC is helping to move the needle in getting more programs to have the effective pieces in place to produce a quality mentoring program. Another piece measured in the census is satisfaction with Mentor Michigan. The fmdings showed that satisfaction was up from Wave II with 87 percent of those that completed the census saying they were either somewhat or very satisfied with the work of Mentor Michigan. The next wave of the census will take place in the fall (September to mid-October). Results will be available by the beginning of November. There will be regional trainings scheduled to discuss the standards. Mentor Michigan will be hosting the first Mentoring Statewide Conference on October 25th where standards will be one of the areas discussed. B. AmeriCorps- Paula VanDam explained the background on the Michigan's AmeriCorps Competitive New Application (see memo dated February 10, 2006 for background). Staff recommends funding at the recommended amount of: American Red Cross ofWest Central MI at $331,045, ConnectMicbigan Alliance at $518,140, The Guidance Center at $276,414, Habitat for Humanity Michigan at $400,906, Marquette Alger RESA at $187,765, Regents of the University of Michigan at $368,894, and Volunteer Muskegon at $306,042. Commissioner Melonie Colaianne made a motion to approve the new funding, Commissioner Jerry Seese seconded the motion. The motion passed unanimously. Paula VanDam explained the background on the Michigan's AmeriCorps Competitive Renewal Application. Staff recommends funding at the recommended amount of: BHK Child Development at $689,078, City Year Detroit at $527,950, Good Samaritan Ministries at $132,285, Michigan Department of Agriculture at $230,239 and Michigan State University Extension at $256,269. Commissioner Jerry Seese made a motion to approve the renewal funding, Commissioner Ken Whipple seconded the motion. The motion passed unanimously. 5 �Paula VanDam explained the background on the Michigan's AmeriCorps Education Award Only Application. Staff recommends funding at the recommended amount for ConnectMichigan Alliance/Michigan Campus Compact at $24,000. Commissioner Bernard Parker made a motion to approve the education award only funding, Commissioner Kari Pardoe seconded the motion. The motion passed unanimously. V. C. Governor's Service Awards - Mary Grill asked Commissioners to send in any nominations they may have. There will be a peer review process once nominations are received. The Peer Reviewers' recommendations will be reviewed by the Governor's Service Awards Committee who will then approve their recommendations. D. Financial Report - Garry Gross gave an overview of the MCSC Financial Report. Public Comments Commissioner Whipple stressed the importance of looking at our priorities and making sure we are on task for those priorities. Chairman Mulhern suggested that at the retreat in the fall that Commissioners can look at where the MCSC is at now, where do we want to be, what is the focus/need and how do we demonstrate our leverage. VI. Adjourn The meeting was adjourned at 3:05pm. The Commissioners joined their subcommittee work session (Great Media, Mentor Michigan, Cool Cities/Cool Companies). 6 � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

AmeriCorps - Paula VanDam explained the background on the Michigan's AmeriCorps Formula Application (see memo dated September 21, 2006 for background) and that the MCSC was originally awarded $2,823,228 to fund new and continuing formula programs. In August the Corporation identified some additional dollars to support additional AmeriCorps members and that states could apply if they had already utilized their initial formula allotment. The MCSC submitted a supplemental request in the amount of $623,311 which would make up the 10% cut that all programs received and would also fund the Charlevoix Emmet Intermediate School District, the only currently existing program that was not originally recommended for 2 �funding. The MCSC was notified that we would receive $426,254 in additional formula funds . The MCSC staff contacted the programs that had taken the 10% cut to see ifthey could utilize more members and how many they would be able to use. Based on their feedback, the staff recommends funding at the recommended amount of: Guidance Center at $37,617.00, Marquette Alger ISD at 11 ,735.00, Regents of the University ofMichigan at $88,680.00, Habitat for Humanity at $41 ,716 .50, Volunteer Muskeon at $47,084.00 and Camp Fire USA at $17,695.50, CmmectMichigan Alliance at $26,036.00, Jumpstart for Young Children at $19,200.00, MI Primary Care Association at $25,700.00, Detroit Communities in Schools at $12,600.00, and Boys and Girls Club of Benton Harbor at $12,900.00. Catholic Family Services will take a reduction because they were having some challenges with their match funding because a couple of their sites that were hosting members dropped out. Because of this, they didn't want any additional members and actually wanted to reduce their program by three members. The MCSC was able to take that funding and give it to another progran1. Commissioner Parker asked why this additional funding was not used to fund new AmeriCorps programs that were not initially funded. Ms. VanDam explained that these funds are not funds that we can count on year after year - they are a one-time gift. It takes a certain amount of infrastructure to start an AmeriCorps program and the MCSC didn't want to give a new organization that hasn't had an AmeriCorps program the opportunity to start a program but only be able to promise them one year of funding. The MCSC is not sure we'll be able to leverage the additional resources the next year. With the proposed FY07 budget for the Corporation looking like AmeriCorps will be taking another cut, Michigan could be faced with additional cuts next year. Commissioner Parker asked that the MCSC look for new programs and have money set aside for them. Or if there is additional funding identified, that the newer programs that haven't applied before, may get funded. He suggested maybe a formula be developed so that every year funding may be reduced so that funding can be set aside for new programs. Commissioner Young-Welch shared that if our mission is to build a culture of service, we need to have room for expansion. Kyle Caldwell explained that the Corporation and Congress are loathed to allow the commissions to hold funding. So the suggestion about formula or set aside is good. Paula VanDam has been successful in the past in pushing the Corporation to think differently about planning grants. But philosophically the push has been to provide commissions more flexibility to do this but as a federal grant maker the MCSC is not allowed to hold funds (that is why Michigan is getting the additional funding this year as other states did not use all their funding so they lost it). The MCSC will have to work hard to create a strategy to get the flexibility to do a formula based set aside program. It can be done but the MCSC will have to push hard to get the policies in place to allow us to carry over money. 3 �Commissioner Mawby made a motion to approve the additional funding and Commissioner Seese seconded the motion. The motion passed unanimously. Paula VanDam explained the background on the AmeriCorps Formula funding staff recommendation for new funding for the Charlevoix Emmet Intermediate School District at the amount of $118,860.00. This program was in operation for six years prior to tllis year but did not get approved earlier this year due to the funding cuts and performance issues. The performance issues have been addressed and resolved. Commissioner Mawby made a motion to approve the new funding, Commissioner Whipple seconded the motion. The motion passed unanimously. B. Governor' s Service Awards - Mary Grill explained the 2006 financial summary that was distributed to Commissioners. She thanked Commissioners for their help in raising $222,000 in sponsorships. After expenses, the net profit is $101 ,824. She explained that staff is recommending that $80,000 be moved into other MCSC special programming areas and that $31,895 be left into the GSA fund to support GSA 2007 implementation. The MCSC recmmnends with the $80,000 that is going to be used for special programming, $50,000 be used for Mentor Michigan (census, outreach and other programming), $10,000 for professional development (Commissioner retreat, staff retreat or any other professional development for staff and commissioners), $10,000 for Service-Learning (Urban initiative and teacher fellows) and $10,000 for AmeriCorps (alumni development). Ms. VanDam explained that the Service-Leaming Urban initiative came out of discussion from an Executive Committee meeting about developing a strategy to work with urban schools to help them get service-leaming funding. The AmeriCorps alumni development would focus around locating alumni, cleaning up the database that already exists, and helping to establish local alumni chapters. The ultimate attempt will be to connect them back to their communities to service and mentoring. Commissioner Parker asked why $31,000 is needed to hold in the GSA fund - it seems more than has normally been kept in the account. Mary Grill explained that by switching the venue to the Fox Theater, there were deposits that they normally require up front but allowed us to pay at later dates. If the event is held at the Fox Theater in 2007, they may not be so flexible with this policy. The funding also covers the nomination form printing and mailing and the nomination review process. Commissioner Parker stated that corporations make the donations with the understanding that it is used for volunteerism and programs the MCSC support and would they support the dollars being spent on other areas instead of direct services. He also asked whether some of this money should be identified for programs that did not get funded through the funding process. Commissioner Collier also supports Commissioner Parker's point. He suggested allocating more funding ($11,000) towards the ServiceLeaming Urban Initiative and teacher fellows by leaving $20,000 in the 4 �GSA fund. Chairn1an Mulhern shared that our alliance should be towards spending towards what our mission is about and having Commissioners meet the needs that the MCSC has leveraging some of the sponsors to come in early. Commissioner Parker made a motion to approve the Commissioners recommendation to keep $20,000 in the GSA fund and to put the additional $11,895 towards additional funding of the ServiceLearning Urban Initiative. Commissioner Collier seconded the motion. The motion passed unanimously. Mary Grill shared that the videos from the GSA finalists will be used in a television special highlighting volunteerism and service. Thanks to Melanie Colaianne and MASCO Foundation, who is the lead funder on the program, along with Home Depot, this project will happen. The plan is to have it shown in all the major media markets in Michigan. The Hands On Network will come to Michigan and will use this television special called "Michigan Cares." Commissioner Colaianne explained that Hands On Network is a volunteer organization focused on developing volunteerism around the globe. MASCO Foundation is picking up on the corporate volunteerism piece and working with 29 other Fortune 500 companies across the nation to bring attention to corporate volunteerism and to reflect the impact corporate volunteerism is having on America. President Bush has endorsed September as Corporate Volunteer Month and this is catching on. The 29 corporations got together last year and set a goal of 500,000 volunteer hours for September among those companies. Last September they came up with 851,000 volunteer hours, surpassing their goal by an incredible amount. The plan is to take that one-hour prime-time special to all the major media markets across Michigan, Canada and Ohio and give them five commercial spots to introduce the Hands On Network to Michigan and hopefully develop an affiliate in the Detroit area to help with the corporate volunteerism piece. There is not an affiliate in Michigan but there are 60 affiliates around the world. Mary Grill gave an update on the 2007 Governor's Service Awards. An invitation has been sent to Stevie Wonder to be the headliner and it is anticipated that it will be held at the Fox Theatre. The MCSC will be partnering again this year with the Carter Partnership Awards. It is possible that may be an annual presentation, similar to what the Council of Michigan Foundations does with the Mawby Award and their new award from this year. A potential funder list was dishibuted to Commissioners for them to review and to help with follow up. C. Mentor Michigan 1. Statewide Conference - Ms. VanDam gave an update on the upcoming Mentor Michigan Conference. There are two keynote speakers who are nationally known. Commissioners are invited to attend both a VIP reception the evening before with the Mentor Michigan Leadership Council, Providers Council and the keynote speakers, along with the conference. 5 �2. Mackinac Conference Update - Ms. VanDam gave an update on the meeting that Mr. Mulhern had with some corporations at the Detroit Regional Chamber Mackinac Conference to begin partnerships in the Detroit area with Detroit Public Schools to mentor. The companies that have stepped up are DTE, Karmanos, Detroit Medical Center, Rock Financial, CMS Energy, Wayne County SheriffDepartment, and the City of Southfield. Mike Fezzey, WJR President and General Manger and a Leadership Council member, has had three of his radio personalities interviewing mentoring matches for three weeks to help people understand what mentoring is about. 3. Labor Day Bridge Run - Mentor Michigan partnered with the Governor's Council on Physical Fitness in sponsoring 20 mentoring matches who trained and pmiicipated in the Labor Day Bridge Run. It was a great partnership and a great success. CMS Energy and Saginaw Chippewa Indian Tribe were both sponsors for this and the MCSC appreciates that. 4. W.K. Kellogg Foundation Proposal- This proposal would bring $350,000 to the MCSC over the next couple of years to focus on engaging more men in mentoring with resources to pilot some projects to move forward . Also, to continue the corporate component that the MCSC embarked on at Mackinac to get more corporations to step up and support mentoring. 5. Mentor Michigan Census - The annual survey that allows the MCSC to get a sense of the growth ofmentoring is currently taking place. There has been good participation so far so there should be good measurements coming out ofthis census. 6. National Mentor Month - Mary Grill gave an update on National Mentor Month in January. The tool kit will be available on the Mentor Michigm1 website on November 9 th with resources for mentoring programs. Chairman Mulhern encouraged Commissioners to look for local opportunities to mentor or promote mentoring. D. Learn & Serve Competitive Grants - Ms. VanDam announced that Michigan received $2.1 million from CNCS. The MCSC received over $1 million to partner with the MSU Extension to do peer mentoring across the state. Michigan Campus Compact was the other recipient. Amy Smitter shared that they received over $1.14 million and leveraged about the same ainount from colleges a11d universities across the state. The MCC will partner with Mentor Michigan for a project called Investing in College Futures which will focus on recruiting college students to serve as mentors to disadvantaged youth in their community and helping them to see college as a part of their future. The other issue it will address is that through service, it will help retain college students at a higher rate on campuses so that they will proceed through graduation. E. Volunteer Investment Grants - Angelia Salas gave some background on the history and an update on Volunteer Investment Grants (VIG). A summary was distributed to Commissioners. Diana Algra gave an update on the 6 �Volunteer Centers. When she started with VCM there were 30 Volunteer Centers. Three have closed which were housed within United Way agencies. They are in Lapeer, Lenawee and Monroe Counties. There is 27 active Volunteer Centers in Michigan, 17 ofthem housed within United Ways. Some ofthe Volunteer Centers use VISTA and Senior Corps volunteers. She also gave a description of the 211 program. It is an initiative similar to the 911 system where people can call to get help (rental assistance, food, shelter, medical assistance, etc.). In most cases, all of the major hubs of211 will be within United Way agencies or another nonprofit organization. They have also expanded the role of211 to not only get help, but to give help. Citizen's can call 211 and ask how can they get connected to a volunteer opportunity within the community. The 211 hub is working with local volunteer centers to place volunteers. In both Detroit and Grand Rapids, the 211 staff that man the phones actually make the connections right away because they have lists of volunteer possibilities. The state is covered geographically by 211 in 65% of the state. If you look at population, the number is quite a bit higher because the more populated areas ofthe state are covered. Chairman Mulhern asked whether there will be a conversion from the 1800-Volunteer program (used by Mentor Michigan) to using the 211 program, should the MCSC be encouraging the 211 number, and what is the MCSC role. Kyle Caldwell answered by saying that 1-800-Volunteer is targeted and populated for Mentor Michigan (they understand the goals and the map for mentoring). The 211 system understands mentoring in the general sense but the relationship has not been developed yet so that everyone is tied into the network. The goal is to have both programs tied into the mentoring network. Commissioner Collier asked whether there should be a dialogue with the United Way folks on the community impact and the role of Volunteer Centers and 211. Kyle Caldwell said that they are meeting with Mike Brennan of United Way to work with them on this issue. Kyle Caldwell also shared some points on VIG. There is $4.5 million endowed across the state ofMichigan for Volunteer Centers because of VIG. These dollars are now being granted out to Volunteer Centers to offset some of their operation costs, etc. That happens to align with the number of dollars that are endowed for Volunteer Centers nationally. Michigan is the only state that is doing this. The philosophy around the grants was to fund local support and this has been done (it has not been used to fund the MCSC). There is a legacy to build on and it will be important to think through what the next generation of this program will look like. There is $250,000 currently available for Michigan's VIG in FY 2007. The MCSC staff would like to see these funds used to strengthen the state's volunteer infrastructure. The staff requests that an ad hoc committee of the MCSC Board of Directors work with the MCSC staff to develop revised goals and strategies for this initiative. 7 �Chairman Mulhern stated it will be important to think through how to use the opportunity of these funds to align with our mission of promoting a culture of service. Ms. VanDam suggested that in light of some of the recommendations for AmeriCorps funding and the Learn and Serve Urban Initiative, she would like this group to look through the MCSC grant making strategies in general. A funding committee was formed with Commissioners Rob Collier, Larry Williamson, Bernard Parker and Kari Pardoe. They will meet prior to the next board meeting. V. F. Volunteering in America: State Trends and Rankings - Paula VanDam went through this report which was distributed to Commissioners. Michigan placed in the middle of the pack for most of the categories. If Michigan is going to grow an epidemic of service, the MCSC needs to think about what we can do and be more strategic to have greater impact. Unfortunately, in studies both nationally and in Michigan, the work the MCSC does (AmeriCorps programs, etc) is not reflected in these numbers. The MCSC needs to do a better job of tracking service so that it can be shown in the statewide studies. G. FY07 National Service Funding Update - Paula VanDam went through some charts that were distributed that outlined FY07 National Service funding and how it would affect Michigan. Conunissioner Parker talked about his participation in National Service Hill Day (September 14). He suggested a "cheat sheet" of how the congressional members have voted relating to national service. Kyle Caldwell offered to get the voting records for Commissioners. H. ConnectMichigan Alliance I Serve Michigan Update- Chairman Mulhern shared that Larry Williamson and Janet Lawson will serve on the CMA board as MCSC representatives. Kyle Caldwell gave an overview of CMA and distributed their Annual Report, which describes how they work. New Business A. Advocacy - Ms. VanDam explained that the Commission needs to have a strategy for how the MCSC wants to educate the elected officials about the work of the MCSC and to continue to participate in activities like Hill Day. She would like to have a group of Commissioners work with the MCSC staffto develop this strategy. Commissioners Bernard Parker, Elizabeth Bunn, Kathy Young-Welch and Rob Collier agreed to serve on this committee. B. Learn & Serve Funding Strategies - Ms. VanDam explained that the Learn & Serve fimding recommendations were presented at the June Executive Committee meeting. There were several applicants from Southeast 8 �Michigan, particularly Detroit and the urban areas, that were not successful. It was agreed that at the September board meeting the Commissioners would spend some time discussing how the MCSC can be more successful in urban areas with the Learn & Serve grants. The Learn & Serve staffhas put together an Urban Initiative Discussion Paper which was distributed, along with a map of where the programs are based around the state, and a list of the programs that have been funded and those that haven't been funded. Angelia Salas gave background on the urban initiative. She shared that it has been hard to get Detroit Public Schools funded because the grant amounts are not enough (the highest amount is $40,000 per year) to initiate any interest. She went through some potential strategies: • Do outreach to administrators and educators in metro Detroit and other urban areas • Offer targeted funding at the building level (instead of district level) • Offer targeted professional development at the building level • The Learn and Serve - Michigan staff has approached the National Youth Leadership Council about bringing an upcoming Urban Service-Learning Institute to Detroit. This would help us to reach more ofMichigan' s urban educators. • The MCSC staff, with guidance from MCSC Fund Development Committee, would like to seek additional sources of funding to support tllis effmi. The MCSC staff has contacted other states with urban areas (California, Illinois, Florida, New York) to find out if they have been successful in attracting urban areas and they are having the same issues as Michigan. Commissioner Comer suggested that corporations could possibly sponsor a school and match the amount the school receives in the grant. Commissioner Colaianne suggested contacting Skillman for assistance. They have worked with Detroit Schools on other initiatives. Commissioner Parker explained that the schools are feeder schools (specific elementary school feeds into specific middle school which feeds into specific high school). Identify some money that would go to the urban area and then let the competition be among the sets of feeder schools. Commissioners were asked to serve on a Service-Learning Committee to work with the MCSC staff to develop the Urban Initiative. Commissioners that agreed to serve are: Kari Pardoe, Jerry Seese, Jimmie Comer and Christine Kwak. VI.
