Amy Cohen, Director, Learn and Serve America Corporation for National & Community Service 1201 New York Avenue NW Washington, DC 20525 Dear Mr. Eisner and Ms. Cohen: Thank you for reaching out to the public to help frame the proposed rule for Learn & Serve America (LSA) as included in the October 12, 2004 Federal Register Notice . As the practitioners, implementers, and supporters of this work, we greatly appreciate the opportunity to help shape the future of LSA. We believe that the work ofLSA is vital to our country's future . Our democracy is at serious risk because too often our own people take for granted the rights and responsibilities that are the basis of our freedom . Service-learning is a vital component in schools and communities that are addressing the civic education and community engagement crisis in this country. Indeed, former Senator John Glenn, chair of the National Commission on Service-Learning, called service-learning "the single best way to educate young people for active citizenship in a democracy." We appreciate that the goals of servicelearning, which include insuring that students have the highest quality experience possible, are not only bipartisan and noncontroversial, they are also goals that are shared by the Corporation. Below, we have outlined a broad framework as an effective and sustainable approach for the future ofLSA along with a more detailed response to the questions posed by the Federal Register Notice. Proposed Rule Must Enable and Encourage the Institutionalization of Service-Learning We applaud the Corporation for National and Community Service (Corporation) for its bold vision and goal of having service-learning in half of all schools, colleges and community-based organizations (CBOs) by 20 10. However, the Corporation' s vision can best be realized by encouraging the institutionalization of service-learning across school districts, consot1iums, states, CBOs, and within higher education. The rules should be designed to go beyond the Corporation's strategy of spreading the seeds of service-learning far and wide, to deepening the practice within institutions and structures where it will hold and spread from within. The service-learning field has matured to a point where rulemaking should encourage systemic change. The best role for the Corporation is to create systemic change that leads to the infusion of service-learning throughout our nation's schools, colleges, universities and CBOs. This approach advocates against time limits, automatic preferences for new grantees and a multiple sub-grant approach. Instead, the focus should be on increased oppm1unities for engaging outside experts into the process, teacher training, sharing of best practices, and making larger grants that are designed to embed the practice within educational systems and communities. Only by investing in strategies that institutionalize service-learning, and not placing arbitrary time limits on grantees, can we guarantee that service-learning will be in half of our nation ' s schools, colleges, universities and CBOs in 2010 and well into the future. �Version 11-30-04 Invest in What Works The future ofLSA and the Corporation's priorities must stress investment in what works. We are proud of the tremendous accomplishments our partnership with the Corporation has had in growing servicelearning over the last 10 years. Together we have been able to expand the field with limited resources. However, at this point in the field's maturation, investing in systemic, sustainable service-learning initiatives is the key to reaching all students in a meaningful way. The Corporation should stress investment in what works and expanding resources to spread that success to this generation and beyond. To abandon successful and innovative programs in favor of pure expansion would move away from institutionalization toward transitory programming, and do irreparable harm to the goal of ensuring that all young people can one day participate in service-learning. One of the assets of LSA is its cost-effectiveness and ability to leverage additional dollars . According to a study conducted between 1994 and 1997 by Alan Melchior of the Center for Human Resources at Brandeis University, service-learning through LSA provided a roughly 4:1 return on investment, with a substantially higher average return (as high as 11: 1) for the larger, district wide programs. Clearly, service-learning is already a cost effective way to engage children as participatory citizens from a young age, and to start them on a lifelong path to service in their conmmnities. Federal Investment in LSA Must be Increased While we understand that funding issues for LSA cannot be addressed through rulemaking, it is critical that the larger picture of LSA is part of the discussion. Clearly, the federal leadership role the Corporation has played through its funding is critical to encouraging schools at every level to reclaim their civic mission. The Corporation is the single largest funder of service-learning through LSA and its other national service programs. Its continued investment is critical to building the support structure necessary for instilling the habits of good citizenship and fostering a lifelong ethic of service among young people. But, funding for LSA has remained flat at $43 million over the last decade, even as it continues to leverage significant amounts of private sector and state funding. Rather than asking grantees to increase their obligation to leverage fewer dollars, the Corporation should promote LSA with the Administration and Members of Congress to secure larger and more permanent funding increases in the future . Federal funding for LSA should be drastically increased over the next five years so that schools, CBOs, institutions ofhigher education, states, and ultimately, the Corporation, can maintain and deliver the best outcomes for young people and their communities. Again, it is our firm belief that focusing on institutionalization of service-learning can help both the Corporation and the field work together to reach our mutual goals. This can only happen if all agree that increasing funding rather than working toward over-leveraging an existing successful model will ensure future growth of service-learning. Thank you for the opportunity to continue to play a role in setting the direction of this incredibly important cause. Sincerely, Jeffrey B.

A: The key to ensuring sustainable pm1icipatron in service-learning is for the Corporation to commit to a systemic approach to implementing service-learning in schools and communities across the country. Every grantee and subgrantee should demonstrate how the grant would be used to put into place the policies, practices, and infrastructure support necessary to support service-learning beyond the grant period. LSA grants should require grantees and subgrantees to develop plans and make demonstrable progress toward the goal of infusing service-learning as a methodology into the structures of local education agencies (LEA), college campuses, and community-based organizations. These efforts could be demonstrated via progress in several categories including: inclusion of service-learning into the district or LEA teacher professional development plan, integration of service-learning requirements into student education requirements, development of staff positions to support service-learning, etc. According to a study conducted between 1994 and 1997 by the Center for Human Resources at Brandeis University, the average service-learning program costs only $52 per student, less than one percent of the average per-pupil expenditure as determined by the U.S. Department of Education. Clearly, servicelearning is already a cost effective way to engage children as participatory citizens from a young age and to start them on a lifelong path of service to their communities. Q: Should we grant competitive preferences to organizations that have never before received Learn and Serve America funds? How should these questions apply to grantees that operate local programs directly and to grantees that provide subgrants to others to operate local programs? A: The determining factor for who receives LSA funds should not be whether the grantee has received funding in the past. Instead, LSA's grantrnaking strategy should be to award high quality applicants who have the abilitv to build systems that support service-learning's adoption and institutionalization in schools, districts and CBOs. This stronger infrastructure, with the resources behind it, will ensure that more students have the opportunity to learn and serve and empower students to be civic leaders. The Corporation should not establish competitive preferences and should not create federal rules to limit the number of years for which a grantee or subgrantee may receive LSA grants. We have learned over the last 20 years that it takes a considerable amount of time and energy to fully integrate servicelearning into a school system or community-based organization. A policy that gives preference to new LSA applicants could discourage or be a disincentive to fully incorporating service-learning into the curriculum or an institutional system. The Corporation ' s grantmaking process must account for this reality and should offer incentives to educational and community institutions - whether first-time applicants or previous grant recipients- that commit to using LSA funds to catalyze systemic implementation, favorable policies and delivery systems necessary to bring service-learning to scale on a campus, within a school district or community-based organization. The Corporation should implement rules that help create a well-rounded portfolio of grantees and subgrantees that reflect the different stages of the process toward full institutionalization of servicelearning. The competitive process should reward applicants at the national and state levels that demonstrate a plan or progress toward providing a continuum of activities and assistance to support 2 �Version 11-17-04 schools and CBOs at all levels of implementing and institutionalizing service-learning. This includes start-up ventures, more experienced initiatives still in need of additional support to improve and expand their work, as well as expert, established programs on the verge of sustaining LSA' s previous investments within local institutions. Sustainability and Institutionalization Q: How can the Corporation ensure that appropriate steps are being taken to build service-learning into the fabric of the educational or community organization? How can we ensure that Learn and Serve America grantee and subgrantee programs can continue to be successful without federal support? What are appropriate components ofgralltee "sustainability plans?" How should these questions apply to grantees that operate local programs directly; to grantees that provide subgrants to others to operate local programs? We share the Corporation ' s commitment to making sure programs can continue beyond a grant from LSA. The Corporation, however, must be careful not to define sustainability solely on a program's ability to financially sustain its work, and must guard against placing arbitrary time limits on grantees. Sustaining service-learning must be about more than just the money. Building on the experience of several states and local programs, the Corporation should encourage, not require, grantees to invest in systems/systemic programs - whole schools or school districts- in order to increase the likelihood of sustaining service-learning beyond support from LSA. Rather than just focusing on a grantee or subgrantee ' s ability to finance a program, the Corporation should encourage its grantees and subgrantees to develop sustainability plans that address areas we know to be critical to long-term implementation and institutionalization, such as : • • • • • • organizational vision and leadership curriculum/assessment professional development school-community collaborations, including partnerships with community leaders, organizations and businesses continuous improvement long-term financial stability, including diversified funding sources Research describes the elements listed above as crucial for weaving service-learning into the fabric of an educational or community organization (Learning That Lasts: How Service-Learning Can Become an Integral Part of Schools, States and Communities; Education Commission of the States, 2000). These are essential for taking service-learning to scale and institutionalizing service-learning on a campus or within a school district or community-based organization. When these elements are in place, benefits are increased for both students and communities. The Corporation must call on grantees and subgrantees to show evidence of how they are addressing or plan to use LSA funds to address these elements as part of their sustainability plans included in their grant applications and/or reporting requirements. 3 �Version 11-17-04 Focusing on Community Needs Q: How can the Corporation ensure that Federal funds are used most effectively to meet community needs and that all Learn and Serve America participants make a positive impact on community problems and needs? The Corporation should work with grantees and subgrantees to develop simple, realistic outcome-based performance measures to assess service-learning ' s impact on the specific needs of the community being served. The Corporation should also provide additional training and technical assistance to ensure that grantees and sub grantees understand the purpose of and can fully implement the outcome-based assessment tools they are asked to complete. Grantees and subgrantees also play a role in ensuring that federal funds are effectively used to meet community needs . The quality of community partnerships has improved significantly over the last decade but varies widely. To build on this momentum, the Corporation should invest in training and technical assistance to ensure that all service-learning practitioners have access to the most current and innovative service-learning strategies, especially for those first entering the field. This will increase the likelihood of practitioners' ability to design programs that will effectively address authentic community needs. Young people must play an important role in identifying and ensuring that service-learning activities address important community needs and problems. The Corporation should encourage applicants to provide for youth leadership and development components in their approach to servicelearning so that schools and communities can gain from having youth engaged in more meaningful decision-making. To inform its work in this area, the Corporation should also review how other federal agencies are measuring impact in the community and to work see if those efforts can be applied to LSA and what technical assistance or federal support is needed to assist in these efforts. Duration and Intensity of Service Q: What policies should be adopted concerning the intensity (i.e. service hours per time period) and duration of community service expected of Learn and Serve America participants? Currently, service hours are being defined in multiple ways and do not always reflect the educational component of service-learning. There is a need to clarify the definition . The definition of"service hour" should include all time spent by a young person in the service-learning process: planning; researching the context, root causes and policy implications of community issues and problems; identifying and connecting with expert community partners; addressing problems through service and community engagement; and reflecting on the service-learning experience. Each component is critical to the service-learning experience; therefore, young people should be recognized for their participation through the entire process. Selection Criteria Q: What criteria should the Corporation use in selecting grantees in its competitive Learn and Serve America programs? Should Learn and Serve America have two sets ofgrant application and selection criteria: one for consortia and grant intermediaries (State Education Agencies, Grant Making Entities, and Higher Education Consortia), and one for local programs? If so, what should such separate criteria include? 4 �Version 11-17-04 The Corporation's selection criteria must reflect an applicant's ability and commitment to sustaining the implementation of service-learning. The criteria must also reflect what it takes to institutionalize service-learning within the unique sectors of K-12 schools, tribes, colleges and universities, and community-based organizations. Sustainability/Institutionalization - Will service-learning be better integrated into the educational institution as a result of the grant? What provisions and institutional commitments have been made to ensure that service-learning will continue as a result of this grant? What short or long-term partnerships have been made with community organizations or local businesses to sustain service-learning efforts? Student Learning - For school-based programs, to what extent and in what ways are connections made between local and/or state academic standards and service-learning objectives? For college programs, is there attention to the civic learning outcomes of service-learning? For community-based programs, to what extent and in what ways is service accompanied by opportunities to learn that are strongly related to that service and tied to youth development goals such as those used by the Search Institute? Subgrants Q: What policies should govern sub-granting? Should there be limits on duration or on type of subgrant? How many levels ofsubgranting should be allowed? We do not support the creation of federal rules to limit the duration or define the type of subgrants made at the state and local levels . Establishing time limits or overemphasizing a grantee's ability to provide matching funds runs the risk of biasing against certain types of programs and communities, particularly those in rural settings and low-income states and regions . Institutional change takes time. The Corporation ' s policies should reflect what research, such as that completed by Learning In Deed, shows about the scope and sequence of integrating and sustaining high-quality service-learning, which can vary widely, especially amongst educational systems (Education Commission of the States, 2000). These rules must be sensitive to the way an educational system works. The duration of a grantee's participation in the program should be determined through the competitive funding process, not arbitrary time limits. One of the fundamental characteristics of the Corporation and its programs is that it catalyzes "bottomup" strategies designed by local practitioners to best meet the unique needs of their own communities. While we believe that states and local programs must consider how their sub-granting policies support an overarching plan and commitment to sustaining and institutionalizing service-learning, the Corporation should not prescribe Federal rules that govern the duration, types or level of subgrants made by state or local programs. This limits innovation and restricts local control and flexibility -the hallmarks of many successful LSA programs. Teacher Education Grants Q: Should we require that Learn and Serve America grantee teacher education programs prepare prospective teachers to use service-leaming in their classroom/teaching practices? Yes, LSA grantee teacher education programs should be required to prepare prospective teachers to use service-learning in their classroom and teaching practices. Equipping new teachers with the ability and commitment to use service-learning as an instructional strategy is key to improving, expanding and sustaining service-learning in schools and communities. We believe that the Corporation should 5 �Version 11-17-04 encourage teacher education grantees to focus both on faculty integrating service-learning in their courses and ensuring students understand and can apply the principles of service-learning when they begin their teaching careers. Schools of education and departments that receive LSA teacher education grants should be strongly encouraged to establish or align service-learning with their policies of roles and rewards for faculty. This will help service-learning strengthen its foothold within the culture of colleges and universities . LSA funds would be best spent on partnership development through joint training constructed around teacher education models that jointly train K-12 teachers and pre-service teachers . According to a 2003 national study completed by the International Center for Service-Learning in Teacher Education, 195 Schools, Colleges, and Departments of Education report that they prepare their graduates to use servicelearning as a pedagogy. (Anderson, J.B . & Erickson, J.A. (2003). "Service-learning in preservice teacher education." Academic Exchange Quarterly, 7 (1 ), 111-115). However, the focus needs to be on those programs that are successful in providing a practicum in which prospective teachers actually implement service-learning, and/or teach the pedagogy with sufficient depth . Several of the exemplary pre-service programs instructing pre-service teachers how to implement service-learning in the classroom include Seattle University, Chico State, and New England College. Having a structure for pre-service teachers to learn and experiment with this pedagogy along with more experienced teachers (also new to service-learning) is a good idea and one that encourages systemic reform in teaching practice. To have this happen in an authentic way, institutions of higher education need to have long and dedicated partnerships with local K-12 school districts that are similarly dedicated to employing service-learning as a key educational strategy. It is essential that the Corporation funds what works. It is also essential to recognize that institutionalization requires sustained investments. Community Organization Partnerships Q: What steps should the Corporation take to strengthen the role of community organizations as partners in Learn and Serve America projects? What steps should we take to promote greater participation offaith-based and small community organizations? A: Current restrictions on funds that can be spent on training and technical assistance in both the formula and competitive grants limit community organization participation in service-learning. Community based organizations can play a vital role in assisting educators as they attempt to integrate service-learning into their classrooms. The current grant structure severely limits that role by limiting the amount that can be designated for training and technical assistance. We support the Corporation ' s existing practice for applications to be jointly submitted by a LEA and at least one community-based organization. However, the Corporation should modify the restriction that LSA school-based grants can only be awarded to LEAs . In some cases, funds may be better placed with the community-based partner. School-community partnerships that apply for LSA funding need the flexibility to decide if the community-based partner is the more appropriate fiscal agent, assuming the selected partner has the organizational and fiscal capacity to manage grant funds according to federal and state guidelines. Project Expenditures Q: Should Learn and Serve America grantees be required to include evaluation funding in their project budgets, along with stipulation of the scope and method of evaluations? 6 �Version 11-17-04 We value the importance of evaluation, but gi ven the limited amount of money of most LSA grants and subgrantees, LSA should not require grantees or subgrantees to include evaluation funding in their project budgets. Programs, however, that conduct state or local evaluations should ensure that those evaluations meet minimal standards to ensure that proper methods are employed in collecting and analyzing the data. Dictating the scope of the evaluation has the potential to lead all programs to "teach to the test." Service-learning is best used as a methodology that includes incorporating youth voice, a focus on community problems, and activity outside of the classroom. While those common elements exist, they play out differently in each program. Attempting to define a scope for an evaluation that presupposes that participants will have a specific experience or learn specific ideas would be tantamount to requiring that all service-learning programs address problems in the same way. The hallmark of service-learning is that it adapts to the situation at hand - requiring a specific scope of interaction would limit that flexibility. Quality evaluation provides critical information on program outcomes to providers, community stakeholders, Members of Congress and others. Unfortunately, rigorous evaluations are costly and beyond the scope of funding provided to LSA grantees. We recommend that the Corporation consider adopting an approach that is similar the evaluation approach of the Department of Health and Human Service's Family and Youth Services Bureau (FYSB) . FYSB is launching a national scientific evaluation of the Mentoring Children of Prisoners program that will demonstrate science-based outcomes and delineate best practices. However, FYSB is not allowing its individual grantees to expend grant funds on evaluation because the sample sizes of evaluations on individual grantees would not produce generalizable data. Therefore, grantees should be held accountable for process data. Once research-based best practices are delineated, holding grantees accountable for complying with best practices is the most cost effective way to ensure quality programming is being delivered. The Corporation should be flexible in working with organizations that already have outcome measurement systems in place. This will ensure that organizations are not forced to use multiple, duplicative outcome measurement systems. Q: Should we require that web conferencing capabilities be included in the grant budget? No. The Corporation should not require that web conferencing capabilities be included in the grant budget. The vast majority of research surrounding teacher professional development indicates that personal interaction is an essential characteristic of effective programs. Research shows that teachers tend to adopt service-learning when introduced to it by colleagues or through professional development, and service-learning was sustained for longer periods of time when there was a critical mass of support from peers and administrators within the school (Billig, 2004; 2002; Billig & Klute, 2002; Meyer, Billig, & Hofschire, 2004; Billig & Welch (2004) Billig, Root, & Jesse, 2004; and Mintz & Abramowitz, 2004). LSA would be better served by requiring a minimum number of hours of contact between educators who are participating in the program and certified teacher educators or program staff Performance Measures and Evaluation Q: How can the Corporation and its Learn and Serve America grantees ensure that all Learn and Serve America programs are setting and achieving appropriate, measurable performance outcome goals? Should we require that Learn and Serve America grantees establish and meet a common set 7 �Version 11-17-04 of outcome measures? How can the Corporation ensure that its grantees regularly and effectively evaluate their service-learning programs? It is important that programs have outcome measures that reflect community needs. The Corporation is encouraged to learn from these programs, rather than dictate a common set of outcome measures. Instead, the Corporation should provide a menu of possible performance measures that reflect both participation and impact data as well as the ech.Jcational learning aspects of service-learning. The Corporation must not confuse consistent, high-quality standards for evaluation with uniformity. States and local programs should be able to select from a robust menu of options that support and feed into a broader evaluation agenda. These performance measures should not be an end unto themselves, but should be used to inform continuous program improvement (e.g., actively using the data to inform and improve practice and to replicate effective strategies and models) in addition to the providing statistical reports policymakers and administrators need. There is value in having national evaluation data that can be generalized across programs from around the country. However, states and local programs must be given the opportunity to create and hold themselves accountable to performance measures that reflect their local needs and priorities. Again, the Corporation must not require states and local programs to conduct formal evaluations if it cannot provide additional funding or tools to support these activities. Additionally, the Corporation Unified State Plans Q: What role, if any, should Leam and Serve America grantees and subgrantees play within the Corporation's Unified State Plans? How should Learn and Serve America grantees and subgrantees be encouraged to participate in Unified State Plans and state-wide service conferences? The Corporation should be a leader in assisting State Commissions with communicating what LSA and service-learning are all about, and to look for ways to involve LSA grantees into the Unified State Plans. The State Commissions should be assisted in their efforts to include the LSA grantees and subgrantees within the Unified State Plans and encourage their participation in state-wide service conferences. If the Corporation moves toward fewer, but larger grants to affect systemic change across states, it will also be easier to engage LSA participants, and should reduce the number of subgrantees. The Corporation should support State Commissions in their continuing efforts to recognize all streams of service under the Corporation as resources within their state. Indeed, the Commission is in a unique position to help LSA K-12 and Higher Ed participants to partner with community-based organizations who are active in service and service-learning in the state, and the Corporation should encourage them in this role. 8 � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

AmeriCorps is similar to a domestic Peace Corps. Individuals, called members, are housed within nonprofit organizations, schools, and other agencies throughout our state. Each program sets its own goals to help meet local needs. • The AmeriCorps members are building houses, mentoring children, teaching conflict resolution, recruiting volunteers, implementing homeland security activities, and more. • During the 2004-05 program year, the 19 programs are engaging 807 members in a variety of activities focusing on the environment, education, public safety, and human needs. • On average, each Michigan's AmeriCorps member recruits 26 volunteers to help strengthen his or her community. AmeriCorps funding may be available for organizations in your community. Funding is usually granted in three-year cycles with renewal funding based upon successful completion of annual goals. Michigan's AmeriCorps grants traditionally average $250,000 each and require match funds. Do you know a potential AmeriCorps member? AmeriCorps members are dedicated individuals at least 17 years of age who want to make a difference in their community. Potential members can find out more about AmeriCorps by calling (800) 942-2677 or visiting www.americorps.org.

JOSEPH BRANCH LENAWEE Updated: September 21, 2004 �.MICHIGAN COMMUNITY SERVICE MICIDGAN'S AMERICORPS MEMBERS CHANGE LIVES COMMISSION What I Have Learned Through AmeriCorps by Robyn E. Hall, AmeriCorps Oakland AmeriCorps is amazing and an experience that everyone should have. The impact that it has on children is incredible. While they may not always remember my name, they know that I am there to help. The trust and confidence they have in me is overwhelming. They believe in me, and as a result, I have learned to believe in me, as well. I have learned that all things are possible, and that I can accomplish whatever I set out to achieve. Children seem to have a way about them that can brighten my day and remind me that one bad day isn't the end of the world. Through AmeriCorps, I have grown as a person. I have learned to become more independent and self-motivated. I have learned to find work to do, rather than wait around doing nothing. I have become more assertive and have learned to be a leader. I have learned to rise up to meet the challenges that present themselves. AmeriCorps has been a wonderful experience, and I can't wait to see what lay ahead for me. This poem that I wrote really sums it up: I have learned to give, and to smile, To believe in others, as well as myself. I have learned to be patient and listen, To care, to love and to laugh. I have learned that I can make a difference, One child at a time, I can change their world And they can change mine. I have learned that not every day will go perfectly, And sometimes I will get stressed and frustrated. But I have learned that laughter can go a long way. I have learned more than I could ever explain, Except to say, I have learned to truly live. Robyn Hall is an Oakland University freshman andfirst yeo.r member wilh AmeriCorps Oakland. She is from Shelby Tuwnship and serves at Mark Twain Elementary &hool in Pontiac. AmeriCorps Oakland enrolls 40 part-time AmeriCorps members to assist the neighboring community of Pontiac meet their education goals. Members sezve in Pontiac elementary schools tutoring students grades 1-3 to improve their reading and writing abilities.

In 2002, Oakland AmeriCorps members tutored 450 children and provided programs like conflict resolution, character education, and substance abuse prevention for 998 youth. �Success by Six Pleases Parents <: Below is an excerpt from a letter received by the Success by Six program coordinator. This family received home visiting parent education from AmeriCorps members. Dear Ms. Fairchild: Our son, Jakob, is almost three years old and has a 50% speech and language delay compounded with sensory problems. Like so many other parents, we were unable to take our son into the ctassroom because of our work schedules. Your program was the only way we could get our son the help he needed. You were able to meet with us at any time, day, or place. We have been working with two of the nicest women and they have played a big part in all of our son's milestones. He now has a much longer attention span and is more willing to cooperate and learn. He follows directions much better and is now able to complete many different learning activities. Not only have they helped our son learn how to communicate, they've helped us learn how to teach him. They offer help, advice, and support to families who have no idea what resources are available to them. We have received parenting skills training and attended workshops to learn a wide variety of activities that both stimulate and broaden children's learning ability. It was easy for us to attend the workshops because food and daycare is provided. I hope our son gets well enough not to need their services for much longer, but I'm comforted by the fact that they will still be here if he needs them. I just hope this program will be available for other parents and children who need the help, too. Thank you! Branch Intermediate School District's Success by Six Program enrolls ten full-time AmeriCorps members to provide child development and parent education for families with children prenatal to six years of age. Members are trained in two nationally recognized models: Parents As Teachers (PAT) and Healthy Families America (HFA).

Members provide services to children and parents in the family's home and group settings. During the 2001-02 program year, Success by Six AmeriCorps members provided parent education to 129 families through home vi~its, served 375 parents through monthly group meetings, and offered 31 parent education classes on topics such as fire safety, budgeting, and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. �- MICHIGAN COMMUNilY SERVICE AMERICORPS MEMBERS BUILD HOPE By Joshua Brugger COMMISSION As an AmeriCorps member, I learned valuable lessons about the importance of hope. I came to believe that every day it was my job to help people find hope-to coax it, to prod it, to bring it out of its hiding place and into the light. This past year, I was an AmeriCorps member with Lakeshore Habitat for Humanity in Holland. Working alongside many volunteers, I helped build a dozen simple and decent homes. These new homes brought hope to families. Sometimes the days were long and difficult. I spent days of 11, 12, and 13 hours painting and roofing in the hot summer sun. I also dug water line trenches through frozen earth in December to meet a New Year's Day deadline. One of my favorite memories of my AmeriCorps year was a project I did with the Boys and Girls Club of Greater Holland. I taught a woodworking class to teenagers. Classes included lessons in safety, learning about tools and materials, and the opportunity to build something. Something like a toolbox, birdhouse, or bug habitat. Now on one particular day, I thought that I'd really wow the kids. So, what did I do? I brought power tools with me! After receiving permission from the Boys and Girls Club, I came to class ready with a drill, a circular saw, and a 2x10 board that was 6 feet long. This was going to be a great class! A teen builds her own birdhouse as part of the BGCH/Habitat project. I had several students help me carry in all of the equipment. As they did, they paraded the power tools in front of their friends-eager to show that they were special because they got to carry the drill or the saw. Class began. Kids were lined up outside the door, peering through the windows, climbing over each other so they could see. Every seat was filled. Excitement was in the air. It was like being on the set of Tool Time. I laid that 2xl 0 out on the table. Donned my safety glasses. Measured and strategically marked off the spot I would cut. As a trained member of Habitat for Humanity, I do know that a 7 %"titanium tipped plywood blade is terrific for cutting plywood or siding. But I don't know why I didn't remember that it doesn't work so well when cutting through a piece of #2 pine. After the smoke cleared, the kids and I all had a great laugh! I'll never forget that day. And I'll never forget the day four months later, when those same kids built a ramp for a 7-year-old boy with spina bifida. They learned a lesson about hope that day because they gave hope and happiness to that young boy and his family. So now I encourage everyone to plant hope. Hope makes change happen. It may not happen overnight. It may take years to grow. I believe the hope I planted during my year as an AmeriCorps member is still making a difference in the lives of the people in Holland today. �- MICHIGAN COMMUNITY SERVICE COMMISSION AMERICORPS RAMP PROJECT ACCOMPLISHES WHAT OTHERS COULDN'T When Kevin Mullins lost his leg and his job, he and his family were heartbroken. Kevin was hospitalized with a serious infection that culminated in the amputation of his leg. Thus began a nightmare of skyrocketing hospitalization costs, as the hospital would not allow Kevin to come home until an access ramp was installed. A ramp, which costs $5,000- $7,000 when built by a private contractor, was out of reach for the Mullins. Kevin began preparation to move to a nursing home. Kevin's wife, Colleen, contacted more than 50 agencies looking for help. Finally, she connected with the Community Builders Corps, an AmeriCorps program that builds ramps for individuals for the cost of materials-approximately $1,500. As the Mullins were already financially strapped, even this amount was too much. Kevin Mullins arrives home, thanks to the Community Builders Corps. The AmeriCorps members would not give up on Kevin. They asked local lumberyards for help. Brooks Lumber in Detroit offered the materials at their cost ($1 ,200), but the Mullins still could not pay that amount. They were discussing the situation in Kevin's hospital room one night when the patient in the next bed overheard their conversation. The patient called his son. The next day the son came to visit Kevin and offered to pay for the materials to build the ramp. Four days later, the ramp was completed and Kevin Mullins went home. Young Detroit Builders recently received a $176,419 grant from the Michigan Community Service Commission to continue the Community Builders Corps program in 2002-2003. This program enrolls 14 full-time AmeriCorps members to: • • • • Build at least 30 wheelchair ramps for disabled individuals Make adaptation improvements to the home of 40 low-income seniors or disabled persons Provide outdoor services (clean windows and gutters, rake leaves, pick up trash, etc.) for approximately 50 low-income, disabled individuals Respond to at least 30 requests from the Community Policing Office (see below) Community Builders Corps' newest partner is the Detroit's 4th Precinct Community Policing Office. This project helps people whose homes have been burglarized. Break-ins often result in a broken doorjamb or shattered windows, leaving the victims feeling vulnerable to another attack. AmeriCorps members are now on call to make repairs so families can remain in their homes with an increased sense of security. �MICHIGAN COMMUNITY MICHIGAN'S AMERICORPS SERVICE ROSTER COMMISSION 2004-2005 BOYS AND GIRLS CLUB OF BENTON IIARBORTHE SMART CHOICE PROJECT Tori Moore, Program Director 1200 East Main Street Benton Harbor, Michigan 49022 Phone: (269) 926-8766 Fax: (269) 934-8536 Email: bgclubtm@parrett.net $169,506 The Boys and Girls Club of Benton Harbor enrolls 12 full-time AmeriCorps members to help disadvantaged children ages 6-18 in Benton Harbor "realize their full potential as responsible, productive and caring citizens".

JOSEPH BRANCH JACKSON LENAWEE Updated: September 23,2004 �- MICHIGAN COMMU~ITY SERVICE STUDENTS MOUNT CAMPAIGN AGAINST SECONDHAND SMOKE COMMISSION Students at ACE High School are concerned ... for themselves, their friends, and their families. Tobacco use is the single leading preventable cause of death in the United States. Although cigarette smoking nationwide among high school students is declining, approximately 80% of tobacco users begin smoking before the age of 18. lfthis trend continues, approximately 5 million children living today will die prematurely because they began to smoke cigarettes during adolescence. What really got the attention of the ACE High School students were the effects of secondhand smoke. Research has shown that smoke from the smokers around them causes disease, including lung cancer, in healthy nonsmokers. Although they may make the decision not to smoke, they could still be at risk. Rather than sit around and complain, they decided to do something. Led by juniors Shaun Bryan and Nicole Mangan, and senior Amanda Bjorkman, the students developed and produced media materials educating Iron County citizens on the problems of secondhand smoke. You Have a Choice, They Don'tEffects ofSecond Hand Smoke was developed as part of an academic servicelearning project for their Communication You Have The Choice, They Don't was the message of the Arts class. The media campaign included a ACE High School media campaign in Iron County. billboard, exhibit boards, radio spots, and place mats for local restaurants. Students chose the topic of second hand smoke. They did research to determine the best media outlets to use in their community. They wrote the message and formulated the layouts. They evaluated their project when it was completed. Not only did the students learn about secondhand smoke and how to put together a media campaign-they were rewarded for their efforts. The Michigan Cancer Consortium awarded ACE the Spirit of Cooperation Award for their outstanding work in the Upper Peninsula. ACE High School is part of the West Iron County Public Schools. The Michigan Community Service Commission recently awarded them a $33,250 Learn and Serve- Michigan grant to expand their service-learning activities. They are one of 36 school-based programs that receive funding through Learn and Serve - Michigan. �- MICHIGAN COMMUNITY SERVICE VETERANS ARE TOUCHED BY CHILDREN'S INTEREST COMMISSION "The Veterans' Reception was a great way to bring two vastly separated generations together," said Ron DeWaard. "It makes up for so many times when older people and younger people purposely avoid each other because they think they have no common ground." Vietnam Veteran Ron DeWaard and his wife Linda, along with more than 100 other veterans and their wives recently attended the first annual Veterans' Reception hosted by members of the Boys and Girls Club of Greater Holland (BGCH). The reception, honoring veterans for service to our country, included a tour of the Boys and Girls Club, a dinner, and a program of speeches by both youth and veterans. Ron and Linda were touched by the expression of kindness on the part of the 85 Holland youth involved. A Holland youth and local veterans meet for the The reception was the culmination of a year of first time at the Veterans Reception. correspondence between club members and veterans. Letters, holiday cards, valentines, and photographs were exchanged. A club member from the 5th grade had the greatest response from her veteran. After her first letter, she received a large package. It contained an extensive letter in which the veteran answered all her questions and included a book and pictures of the ship that he served on while in the Navy. In addition to giving students a window into the lives of veterans, the year-long project gave them opportunities to practice letterwriting and computer skills. The program was not directly designed to bring homeland security into the lives of the youth and the community. An exciting, but unexpected outcome was the level of awareness gained by the youth about what it means to serve your country and be part of a nation and community. Equally exciting was how touched the veterans were by the interest of the children. "Acts of kindness are always rewarded," shared Army veteran, Bruce Glass. A lifetime member of VFW Post 2144 and former member of the 352nd Communication Reconnaissance Company, Mr. Glass served in the Korean War. He told the club members, "Your kindness toward old soldiers, Marines, sailors, and airmen will not be forgotten. We salute you." Students in this program also • Planned with community leaders and decorated the parade route for the Veterans' Day and Memorial Day parades • Cleaned up and prepared equipment for storage after parades • Researched the wars which veterans corresponded about This service-learning project is part of the Learn and Serve- Michigan program at the Boys and Girls Club of Greater Holland. The Michigan Community Service Commission recently approved a $12,611 grant so this service-learning program can continue throughout the 2002-2003-program year. The BGCH service-learning program will engage at least 175 students in the upcoming year.

On a hot July evening, seventy residents got a helping hand from the American Red Cross, when a fire in the elevator shaft forced them to evacuate their apartments. Coordinating with the University of Michigan, Red Cross staff and volunteers arranged for residents of the downtown assisted living facility to be bussed to temporary housing at a local hotel. Complications in repairing the problem at Courthouse Square turned the one-night stay into four nights. The residents were concerned about their apartments, pets needed care, and many seniors needed to replenish medications left behind in their hasty exit. Working with the Ann Arbor Transportation Authority and other community agencies, the Residents from Courthouse Square receive Red Cross Red Cross team turned a potentially traumatic assistance during their crisis. few days into "an adventure," as resident Elizabeth Galvan called it. Daily shuttles were scheduled for residents, meals were served, and medical assistance provided. Happy to be on her way back home after the crisis, Joyce said she thought the Red Cross volunteers were wonderful. "Without the Red Cross, we'd have been lost," she said. One of the volunteers who helped with the evacuation and sheltering was 17-year-old Deondre Richmond. Deondre became a volunteer through the Red Cross Youth Community Action Team (YCAT). He had only recently completed his orientation when he was called into action. Working alongside experienced team members, Deondre provided information, food, and a listening ear to the seniors. During the five days of the crisis, he volunteered a total of 59 hours. He combined his training with common sense and youthful energy to do anything he could. Although public recognition is not important to him, Deondre received a Certificate of Appreciation from the Red Cross Emergency Services Department. YCAT engages 80 youth between the ages of 12 and 17 in a variety of service-learning activities that are mainly focused on peer education. Youth volunteers first complete First Aid and CPR training. Then they choose an interest area such as Community Disaster, Water Safety, or Pet First Aid for their next level of training. The young people utilize their training to assist their peers and to volunteer for Red Cross projects throughout the community. The Michigan Community Service Commission recently awarded the Red Cross a $15,000 Learn and Serve -Michigan communitybased grant for the YCA T program. �MICHIGAN ~"'.: ._ v ' ~"" '\ ""' • •• ~ ~~ · . . ·$111N .·.

But it is difficult to know what to do or how to help. Citizen Corps were created to help communities prepare for and respond to local emergencies. They train and engage volunteers to make communities safer, stronger, and better prepared to respond to emergencies and disasters of all kinds, including threats of terrorism, natural disasters, crime, public health issues, etc. Citizen Corps are especially important during major disasters when first responders may be initially overwhelmed. Citizen Corps are a component of the USA Freedom Corps that creates opportunities for individuals to volunteer to help their communities prepare for and respond to emergencies. It brings together local leaders, individual volunteers, and the network of first responders such as police departments, fire departments, and emergency medical personnel. The goal is to have all citizens participate in making their communities safer, stronger, and better prepared for preventing and handling threats of terrorism, crime, and disasters of all kinds. Programs ofthe Michigan Citizen Corps include: • • • • • Community Emergency Response Teams (CERT) Neighborhood Watch Programs Volunteers in Police Service Medical Reserve Corps Citizen Corps Councils Citizen Corps activities are adapted to every community's need and managed locally by a Citizen Corps Council. The Michigan Citizen Corps Council was established in November 2002 and functions as a statewide resource. This 12-member council serves as an advisory committee of the Michigan Community Service Commission and provides direction on issues related to homeland security and the role volunteers can play in disaster preparedness. Michigan currently has 43 local Citizen Corps Councils, which includes 26 new Citizen Corps Councils established in 2004. These local Councils have trained 195 CERT Trainers who, in tum, have trained more than 740 citizens so they are prepared to help. During the 2004-05 program year, $782,400 is being granted to 23 Citizen Corps Councils throughout the state. The Michigan Citizen Corps is well known for its innovative programs as the following projects demonstrate: • CERT training materials are being translated into Arabic. • The School Teen School Emergency Response Team (SERT) program is underway in Washtenaw County. • CERT Training is being planned for all event staff at the three major league sports stadiums in Detroit. • The Michigan Citizen Corps Director, Gary Zulinzki, recently answered the call to serve as Deputy Director of FEMA Region V Citizen Corps in Chicago to coordinate all of the Citizen Corps members for the hurricane relief effort in Florida.

These funds are recovered from other agencies and create a "zero" effect on the spreadsheet. �Federal FY06 Budget Update On Monday, February 7, 2005 President Bush released his proposed budget for FY06. The President has proposed a budget that limits discretionary spending in order to cut the deficit in half by 2009. His budget proposed to substantially reduce or eliminate more than 150 government programs "that are not getting results, or duplicate current efforts, or do not fulfill essential priorities." The MCSC receives federal funds from two agencies, the Corporation for National and Community Service and the Department of Homeland Security. Below is a brief synopsis of the proposed funding that will directly impact MCSC. Corporation for National and Community Service AmeriCorps The President proposed a $13 million decrease ($288 million for FY05 compared to $275 million for FY06) in AmeriCorps State and National Funds. The budget requests would fund 67,500 members compared to 50,000 in FY05 The President proposed a $3 million increase ($143 million in FY 05 to $146 million in FY 06) to the National Service Trust. This would support 75,000 members. The President proposed a $1 million increase to the State Administration grants. However given the creation for a few new state commissions, we do not expect to see a gain in funding. Learn & Serve The President proposed a $3 million decrease ($43 million in FY 05 and $40 million for FY 06) for Learn and Serve America. Another point of interest is the proposal to eliminate 3 appropriation sub-committees. One of the three sub-committees slated for elimination is the VA-HUD committee which includes the Corporation for National and Community Service. If approved CNCS's appropriation would be included in the Labor-HHS subcommittee. Department of Homeland Security Citizen Corps The President proposed a $35 million increase ($15 million in FY 05 and $50 million in FY 06). It is important to note that Citizen Corps took a significant cut for FY 05. It went from $40 million in FY 04 to $15 million in FY 05. Mentoring Federal Funding (MCSC doesn't currently receive any federal funds to support Mentor Michigan . However, several organizations in Michigan do.) The following is a recap of where mentoring stands in 2005 and what the President has asked for in 2006. �Department of Education's Mentoring Program * 2005 (current year budget) $50 Million . * 2006 (proposed budget) $49 Million . From outward appearances this would basically continue the support of existing grantees. US Department of Health and Human Services' Mentoring for Children of Prisoners program * 2005 (current year budget) $50 Million . * 2006 (proposed budget) $50 Million . From outward appearances this would basically continue the support of existing grantees. Note that under these two initiatives the President had proposed (in his 2003 state of the union address) an annual $150 million for each of three years split: $100 million to ED and $50 Million to DHHS. With the President's proposed 2006 budget on the table, it looks like he was able to fully fund the DHHS program over the past 3 years and to fund at 50% the ED program. While short of the President's goal these two initiatives represent a substantial priority for youth mentoring. Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention In addition, for the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention, the reauthorizing legislation eliminated the Juvenile Youth Mentoring Program (JUMP), which means that in another 2 years there will no longer be any funded JUMP grantees. However, OJJDP received a small mentoring line item for mentoring in the 2005 budget and the same line item is proposed in the President's 2006 budget. * 2005 (current year budget) $15 Million. Of this amount $7 million is earmarked for Big Brothers Big Sisters of America and it remains to be seen how OJJDP will allocate the remaining 8 million dollars. * 2006 (proposed budget) $15 Million. What happens next year might look like the same as 2005 funding . �Corporation for National and Community Service 2006 Budget Chart �National Service Funding CNCS and Homeland Security (Rough non-audited numbers) AmeriCorps (MCSC) Learn & Serve (MCSCIMDE) Citizen Corps (MCSCIMSP) $5.02 million $922,000 $377,000 AmeriCorps*VISTA (CNCS-MI) Senior Corps (CNCS-MI) Senior Corps (MI-OSA) $5.04 million $6.6 million $5.6 million Total National Service Funds* $23.559 million *Does not include grants to national nonprofrt organizations receiving CNCS funds and operating in Michigan, but not through the MCSC nor the CNCS Michigan Office. � 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 1048 Pierpont, Suite 4 Lansing , Michigan 48913 Telephone : (517) 335-4295 Fax: (517) 373-4977 www.michigan.gov/mcsc Chairperson Daniel G. Mulhern Executive Director Janet C. Lawson MEMORANDUM TO: MCSC Commissioners FROM: Vivian Pickard, MCSC Fundraising Committee Chair DATE: February 3, 2005 RE: MCSC Fundraising Conunittee Report The MCSC Fundraising Committee met via conference call on Wednesday, February 2, 2005. Present on the call were Conunissioners Acho, Collier, Lawrence, Pardoe, and Pelligrino. Representing the Carter Partnership Awards Host Committee was Amy Smitter of Michigan Campus Compact. MCSC staff members on the call were Janet Lawson and Mary Grill. The committee's current focus is sponsorship for the 2005 Governor's Service Awards/Carter Partnership Awards. There was an in-depth discussion about sponsors which included the following: • • • • • Our 2005 goal is $335 ,000. This is a joint goal of the MCSC Fundraising Committee and the Carter Partnership Awards Host Committee. We have raised $92,500 to date! (See attached Sponsor Update.) The majority ofthe solicitation letters went out in late December and early January. There are several letters that are pending as we secure final contacts, sponsor level information, etc. There was discussion about some of the potential sponsors and details were discussed regarding Whirlpool and Fifth Third Bank. All solicitation letters should be in the mail by mid-February. Commissioners were reminded to make the follow up calls to the organizations they selected to solicit. Copies of letters to "your organizations" are being faxed as soon as letters are mailed. This is your indication that follow up calls can be made. If you have any questions about this, contact Janice Harvey or Mary Grill. Amy Smitter gave an update on the work of the Carter Partnership Awards Host Committee. This group is working together with the MCSC Fundraising Committee to solicit potential 1 �funders. Michian Campus Compact members are also being asked to financially support the event. There was a discussion about organizations that committed to be Award Sponsors at the $10,000 level (top sponsorship level) prior to the partnership between GSA and the Carter Awards. When this partnership was formed, the top level of sponsorship was elevated to the Premiere level of$25,000. There are two organizations that committed at the $10,000 Award Sponsor level- Standard Federal Bank and DTE Energy Foundation. The committee felt it was important to honor our original commitment to these two organizations. This commitment included a seat at the Governor's table and stage presence during an award presentation. However, the Premiere sponsors will receive additional recognition at the event via the emcee, the event program, video presentation, etc. Commissioner Acho, who represents Standard Federal, felt this is an equitable solution. She did state that Standard Federal is seriously pursuing increasing their contribution to the Premiere level. Mary Grill recently did a site visit to the Hyatt Regency. Based on the hotel facilities, she recommended that the event be held in the Hubbard Ballroom, which has a seating capacity of approximately 700-750. The Hubbard is the most elegant ballroom at the Hyatt and will maintain the event's high quality atmosphere. Commissioner Collier, who recently attended an event at the Hyatt, agreed with this recommendation. The committee also agreed and the decision was made to hold the event in the Hubbard Ballroom. Carmen Harlan, anchor for WDIV TV -4 in Detroit, has been secured as the event emcee. 2 �~overnor's A~eAwards CARTER ._ PARTNERSHIP AWARD~4'm~~~~ 2005 Sponsor Update February 1, 2005 $335,000- Our Goal! ~ $325,000 ~'if $315,000 $305,000 $295,000 $285,000 $275,000 $265,000 $255,000 $245,000 $235,000 $225,000 $215,000 $205,000 $195,000 $185 ,000 $175 ,000 $165,000 $155 ,000 $145,000 $135 ,000 $125,000 $115,000 Sponsors Committed To Date * Blue Cross Blue Shield Council ofMichigan Foundtions Delphi Corporation DTEEnergy General Motors Corporation Lear Corporation Michigan Nonprofit Organization Olivet College Presidents Council of State Univ. of Michigan Standard Federal University ofMichigan Dearborn � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

In Wave I of the MMC, conducted in the fall of 2004, 105 organizations responded to the MMC out of a total of 156 organizations that had registered with Mentor Michigan as of Sept. 1, 2004. This reflects a _67% response rate. The primary purpose of the MMC is to understand the scope and nature of mentoring and mentoring organizations in Michigan. Specifically, there are three key objectives: 1. Identify, count, describe, and track mentoring organizations, programs, mentors, and the children served. 2. Understand program components, processes, resources, and needs. 3. Encourage and support program evaluation. Additionally, in this first wave of the MMC, emphasis was placed on understanding the types of organizations that provide mentoring programs. The MMC data were collected via an on-line survey. There were approximately 60 questions. In future waves, mentoring organizations will have the opportunity to view and submit responses via hard copy or via the on-line survey. Mentor Michigan has adopted the National Mentoring Partnership's definition of mentoring. "Mentoring is a structured and trusting relationship that brings young people together with caring individuals who offer guidance, support, and encouragement aimed at developing the competence and character of the mentee." Responsible mentoring can take many forms: • Traditional mentoring (one adult to one young person) • Group mentoring (one adult to up to four young people) • Team mentoring (several adults working with small groups of young people, in which the adult to youth ratio is not greater than 1:4) • Peer mentoring (caring youth mentoring other youth) • E-mentoring (mentoring via e-mail and the Internet) The MMC uses the mentoring funnel as a conceptual framework. The mentoring funnel can be used by organizations and Mentor Michigan when planning, implementing and assessing efforts to provide mentors to children who need them. The funnel identifies key steps in the recruitment and mentoring process to be measured, including number of inquires from potential mentors, number of written applications, background checking processes, training process, number and type of mentoring matches, duration and intensity of matches and mentors repeating the mentoring experience or referring others to become mentors. See the "State of Mentoring in Michigan" for more information. Mentor Michigan Census Page 1 Kahle Research Solutions January II , 2005 �Mentor Michigan Census Wave 1: Executive Summary The Scope and Nature of Mentoring in Michigan • A total of 16,574 young people were mentored in 2004 (January through August) through the 105 mentoring organizations that responded to the MMC. As not all mentoring organizations responded to the MMC and because the MMC covered only eight months of 2004, it is reasonable to estimate that mentors served more than 22,500 Michigan children in 2004. • These mentoring organizations report using 9,108 active mentors to provide mentoring services to children in Michigan. • Forty-five organizations report an increase in the number of matches (2, 195 increase in aggregate matches) in 2004 compared to 2003, while 14 organizations report a decrease (848 decrease in aggregate matches). This yields a net reported increase in matches of 1,347 in 2004 compared to 2003. • One adult mentoring one child is the most common form of mentoring in Michigan as 53% of the matches are conducted with this form of mentoring. Team mentoring (19%), group mentoring (17%), peer mentoring (12%) and "e-mentoring" ( 1%) also are practiced. • Seventy-five percent of mentoring organizations require at least some training for the mentor prior to being matched. Most commonly, training is for only an hour or two, but 27% of organizations require more than four hours of mentor training. • Eight of ten mentoring organizations require at least one hour of contact between the mentor and child each week. Fifteen percent require at least three hours of interaction per week. • Most commonly mentoring matches endure for six to twelve months, yet 34% report matches that last, on average, longer than twelve months. Only 7% of mentoring organizations report an average match duration of less than six months. Demographics of Mentors and Children Served • In total, more girls than boys are served by mentoring programs in Michigan. Fifty-six percent of children served are female and 44% male. Similarly, more women serve as mentors than men. Sixty-six percent of mentors are female and 34% are maie. • In total, children age 12-14 are most frequently served by mentoring programs; 45% of all children served are in this age group. Six to eleven year olds (35%) and 15-18 year olds (18%) follow in order of percentage of the total served. Only 2% of young people served by organizations responding to the MMC are 18 to 25 years old. Mentor Michigan Census Page 2 Kahle Research Solutions January 11, 2005 �Mentor Michigan Census Wave 1: Executive Summary • More than half (52%) of mentors are age 25-55. Those age 55-65 represent 16% of all mentors. Twenty-seven percent of mentors are younger than 25 years old, but only 4% are 65 or older. • Nearly half (47%) of all children served by mentoring programs reporting to the MMC are African-American, while 44% are Caucasian. Smaller percentages are Hispanic (5%), Native American (2%), or of some other race/ethnic background. • More than three quarters (76%) of mentors are Caucasian, while 22% are African-American. The rest of the mentors are Hispanic, Native American or Arab-American. Profile of Organizations Providing Mentoring Services • Most mentoring programs in Michigan are community-based programs operated by nonprofit organizations. Schools are the second most common site for mentoring programs. Of the 105 organizations, 62 are communitybased and 35 are school-based. The remainder are either faith-based, government, business, or higher education organizations. • Slightly more than half of the organizations responding to the Census indicate that mentoring is either their primary or a major part of their mission. Thirty six percent report that mentoring is only one of several purposes of their organization and 13% report that mentoring is a small part of their effort. • Three of ten mentoring programs operate with budgets of less than $25,000 annually. The smaller budget programs are much more likely to be schoolbased than community-based. Seventeen percent of the programs operate with budgets of more than $300,000 annually. These are most frequently large community-based programs. • Most of the organizations responding to the MMC are experienced. Nearly half of the organizations have more than ten years experience operating mentoring programs. Fewer than one in ten is in its first year of operation. • Nearly eight out of ten organizations responding to the MMC report that they have a board of directors. These boards are most actively involved in program planning and fundraising. They are less involved with mentor recruitment, even though the directors of these organizations want more board effort focused on mentor recruitment. • Ninety-five percent of organizations responding to the MMC indicate they have a mission statement and about four out of ten expect that their board members will make a financial contribution to their organization. Mentor Michigan Census Page3 Kahle Research Solutions January II, 2005 �Mentor Michigan Census Frequently Asked Questions What is the Mentor Michigan Census (MMC)? The MMC is a survey of organizations operating mentoring programs in the State of Michigan. In Wave I of the MMC conducted in the fall of2004, 105 organizations responded to the MMC. What is the purpose of the MMC? The primary purpose of the MMC is to understand the scope and nature of mentoring and mentoring organizations in Michigan. Specifically, there are three key objectives: 1. Identify, count, describe, and track mentoring organizations, programs, mentors, and mentees. 2. Understand program components, processes, resources, and needs. 3. Encourage and support program evaluation. Who are the respondents? Respondents to the survey are representatives of organizations that operate mentoring programs. Why is the MMC being conducted now? In 1999 (then Michigan Attorney General) Governor Granholm began Mentor Michigan as a way to provide stable and caring adults to children who need them. The MMC is a way to better understand the scope and reach of current mentoring programs. In the future, when additional data is collected, the MMC will track the progress of programs and the overall mentoring movement in Michigan. How was the MMC conducted? The MCC data were collected via an online survey. In future waves, mentoring organizations will have the opportunity to view and submit responses via hard copy or via the on-line survey. How does Mentor Michigan defrne mentoring? Mentor Michigan has adopted the National Mentoring Partnership's definition. Mentoring is a structured and trusting relationship that brings young people together with caring individuals who offer guidance, support and encouragement aimed at developing Mentor Michigan Census Page 1 Kahle Research Solutions �the competence and character of the men tee. Responsible mentoring can take many forms: Traditional mentoring (one adult to one young person) Group mentoring (one adult to up to four young people) Team mentoring (several adults working with small groups of young people, in which the adult to youth ratio is not greater than 1:4) Peer mentoring (caring youth mentoring other youth) E-mentoring (mentoring via e-mail and the internet) What can you do with the data? Organizations can compare their individual data and situations with the results from the Census. It can be useful for supporting grant applications and generally understanding the nature and scope of mentoring programs and organizations. The data provides mentoring organizations a framework on which they can measure their own performance. What are the major findings from the first wave of the study? o o o o A total of 156 organizations operating mentoring programs were identified. Among these, 105 provided detailed data via the online survey. These 105 organizations report that they received 6,823 new inquires about mentoring in 2004 (January through August 2004). A total of 16,574 young people were served in 2004 through these 105 mentoring organizations. These mentoring organizations report using 9,108 active mentors.

OF lVl iC I· IIGA~ JENNIFER M . GRANHOLM G OVERNOR OFFICE OF THE GOVERNOR LANSING JOHN D. CHERRY. JR. I..T. GOVERNO R January 28, 2005 Dear Colleagues: Before January slips totally away, I want to take a moment to look ahead as well as reflect on this New Year which is bringing us new challenges and new hope for the future. January is the traditional time of new resolutions for many folks - including my husband Dan and me. Several years ago, we resolved to become mentors, an experience that has not only added a new dimension to the lives of the two youngsters we mentor, it has also enriched our family's life in so many ways. We are completely in the camp of the 99 percent of mentors who, when surveyed, said they would recommend men to ring to others. Indeed, I am recommending it to you. It is because of this rewarding experience that Dan and I are heading up the Mentor Michigan initiative - a statewide effort designed to raise awareness about mentoring. Our goal is to have 10,000 new mentoring volunteers in Michigan by 2006. I know it' s a pretty tall order, but we are confident that we can do it. So, it's in the spirit of new beginnings that I encourage you to consider becoming a mentor to an eager young boy or girL Just one hour a week can make a lifetime of difference to a child who needs a caring, stable adult influence in their life. You don't need special skills or extra time to be a mentor. You simply need to take an interest in a child. Share your chores, share a trip to the mall, or share your lunch. That's all it takes. For example, Big Brother Big Sister has a "lunch buddy" program that many in my office participate in once a week. It's easy, it's rewarding, and you change not just one life, but two - yours included. Your individual offices can organize lunch buddy teams to help out schools in your area with students struggling with math or reading.

Box 30013 Lansing, MI 48909 Dear First Gentleman Mulhern, Through this letter, Michigan Campus Compact (MCC) expresses its strong support of mentoring across the state of Michigan . The Board of Directors representing 31 MCC member institutions of higher education would like to accept your challenge to recruit 1500 new mentors from higher education institutions. Over the next three academic years (2004-2007), the MCC network will make mentoring a priority. - MCC will seek funding for grants to member institutions to assist existing and developing mentoring partnerships between community agencies and higher education. We will seek leadership among our presidents to promote a campaign to peers in Michigan. We will take steps to assess and document the mentoring, community service, service-learning and research provided by higher education to communities in Michigan. And, we will collect stories on the impact of higher education through mentoring in local communities. Your support of MCC, and our individual institutions of higher education, is crucial to the success of this challenge. We look forward to working with your staff and those at the Michigan Community Service Commission to achieve the tasks described above and to help ensure success of your bold initiative to mobilize 10,000 mentors in three years. To assist the MCC colleges and universities, we ask that you and Governor Granholm commit to visiting 4-6 college and university campuses across the state to discuss mentoring with students, faculty, and staff as part of the MCC campaign to meet the challenge. We believe that your personal commitments would be tremendously helpful in getting the commitment of others. On behalf of the Board of Directors, I thank you for your advocacy of this exciting and ennobling initiative and pledge our support to provide children in the state with opportunities to connect with stable, caring adults. I am confident that our students, faculty, and staff will rise to the challenge and surpass our pledge of 1,500 mentors. Sincerely, Peter Mitchell Chair, Michigan Campus Compact President, Albion College Affiliated with the ConnectMichigan Alliance and Campus Compact �Response to Mentor Michigan Challenge Board Consideration 10/26/04 On June 10, 2004, First Gentleman Daniel Mulhern attended and presented at the Michigan Campus Compact's Council of Presidents Meeting in East Lansing, Michigan on the Governor's Mentor Michigan initiative. At that meeting he shared the state goal to recruit an additional 10,000 mentors to help give children in the state a stable caring adult in their lives. He also challenged the membership of Michigan Campus Compact, 31 colleges and universities in the state, to commit to assisting Mentor Michigan reach that goal by recruiting 1500 new mentors from their student, staff and faculty bodies across the state. Higher Education and Mentoring in Michigan Michigan Campus Compact surveyed all 31 members' primary contact person for community service in the summer of2004. We received responses from ten member institutions and learned that there is a variety of campus approaches to placing students as mentors in the community. -The primary ways include: • • • • • One on One Mentoring- programs like Big Brothers/Big Sisters, Literacy Councils and Best Buddies Group Mentoring- programs like Boy Scouts of America and Boys and Girls Clubs Team Mentoring - programs like after school programs and midnight basketball Peer Mentoring- programs like freshman retention programs and minority services on campus Tutoring - programs like HOSTS, America Reads and school district partnerships No campuses reported placing students in E-Mentoring, or mentoring by e-mail or the internet. Members all reported that they could increase mentoring placements given the proper encouragement or allocated time to focus on mentoring. Smaller institutions reported numbers of less than 100 students that could be recruited as mentors and larger institutions reported having already placed over 800 mentors from their campuses. All reporting was focused on students serving as mentors and not faculty, staff or administration. Michigan Campus Compact Support for Mentoring Michigan Campus Compact has the capacity to help with recruiting mentors from higher education institutions in three new programs that will be running from 2004-2007. These programs are: Michigan Service Scholars- this AmeriCorps Education Award program, funded by the Michigan Community Service Commission, will recruit 300 student volunteers to do 300 hours of community service a year. Half ( 150) of those volunteers will be focused on �mentor programming in early childhood development, adequate yearly progress schools, and traditional mentoring/tutoring programs. Michigan Campus Compact AmeriCorps*VISTA Program- this AmeriCorps*VISTA program [the Domestic Peace Corps], funded by the Corporation for National and Community Service- Detroit Office, places 12 VISTA Members at MCC member institutions across the state for the academic year. Each member is addressing and developing mentoring and tutoring for low income children in Michigan. Collectively the VISTAs have over 600 mentors in their work plan for the academic year. Midwest Campus Compact Student Citizen Fellows Program -this program is an AmeriCorps Education Award program, funded by the Corporation for National and Community Service out of Washington, D.C. and run by Wisconsin Campus Compact for the Midwest states that will work with first generation and low income college students in a positive peer environment with community service requirements. Recruitment for this program will begin in spring 2005 for fall 2005 academic year. Between 120 and 160 student members could be allocated to Michigan through a competitive grant process. Half to two-thirds of those students would be working in a mentoring or tutoring capacity. Collectively Michigan Campus Compact's programs would help meet the challenge presented by Mentor Michigan with 800-900 new mentors across the state. Recommendation to Accept the Challenge Michigan Campus Compact recommends that we accept the challenge to recruit 1500 new mentors from higher education institutions from 2004-2007 (three academic years). We also recommend that the Michigan Campus Compact Board of Directors approve the following provisions as part of the challenge: • • • • • We ask Governor Jennifer Granholm and/or Mr. Daniel Mulhern to commit to visiting 4-6 college and university campuses across the state to discuss mentoring with students, faculty and staff as part of a campaign. We seek funding for grants to MCC member institutions to help existing and developing mentoring partnerships between community agencies and higher education. We seek leadership among our presidents to promote a campaign to peers in Michigan. We assess and document the mentoring, community service, service-learning and research provided by higher education in Michigan. We collect stories ofhow higher education has impacted mentoring in local communities. 2 � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
