While studies show that the vast majority of Michigan's nonprofit agencies depend on volunteers to provide services, many communities struggle to sustain the essential infrastructure necessary to support volunteerisrn. Using an endowment-building challenge, Michigan's VIG was originally designed to: create an ongoing source of funds for the participating volunteer resource centers; build the center's organizational capacity; and increase the number of citizen volunteers involved in community problem-solving. Each of the 3 5 agencies selected for funding between 1998 and 2004 leveraged local funds that were invested in local Community Foundation endowments. Between 1998- 2004, more than $5.8 million dollars was endowed to support the local volunteers centers in perpetuity. The endowments range between $12,000 and $667,000 and agencies are paid out a percentage of those funds based on the annual earnings. State funding for the Michigan's VIG was $1 million dollars annually from 1998- 2000. Beginning in 2001 the budget took incremental cuts leaving it at $250,000 for FY06. When the funds were cut to $250,000 in 2005, it was no longer feasible to offer the endowment building challenge. We engaged the leadership of the Volunteer Centers ofMichigan (VCM) in a dialogue about how the VIG funds could further increase the capacity and sustainability of centers across the state. Collectively we felt that it was important to do something that would demonstrate the importance and value of the volunteer centers. Based on our discussions, we decided that it would be more effective to use $200,000 of these funds on statewide efforts rather than through the smaller grants we have offered previously. $50,000 was retained to support Mentor Michigan. VCM proposed that the Michigan ' s VIG be used in 2005 as a demonstration grant, through which VCM would : 1. Enlarge the capacity ofVolunteer Centers to meet the core competencies and Standards of Excellence mandated by the Volunteer Center N ational Network; 2. Inaugurate a research project to determine a. A profile of the 30 VCM member Volunteer Centers in Michigan, b. Common outputs and outcomes, c. Challenges faced in meeting community needs and fimding programs, d. The social capital of the programs and services performed by Volunteer Centers for the nonprofit and public sectors, further translated into monetary terms; �3. Improve the outreach and recruitment efforts of Volunteer Centers by enhancing their accessibility through increased technological capacity; 4. Strengthen the knowledge base within Volunteer Centers in areas that will elevate sustainability, including a. Benchmarks, outcomes and accountability · · b. Resource development 5. Further build the statewide network by identifying and constructing an electronic system of aggregating data and utilizing this information to present a strong case statement. 6. Fortify the nonprofit sector by assisting Volunteer Centers to offer volunteer management training and support, and to involve community nonprofits and public programs in other training activities that will increase recruitment, retention and recognition of their volunteers. VCM contracted with Bob Kahle of Kahle Research Associates to conduct the research component of this plan. Bob provided four key recommendations for VCM and it's member organizations that relate to the Michigan's VIG. They are listed here with a brief summary of progress: 1. Seek technical support for Michigan's Volunteer centers so that they can use technology more efficiently and effectively. Engaged more than 80% of the member centers in tech support conference calls. With NPower Michigan, created two tech Fact Sheets: "Using Tech Atlas and other Web-Based Resources" and "A Buyers Guide to Technology Enhancements". Initiated the "Quick Win Mini Grant" ($500 max request) for centers to examine their tech capacity and plan for enhancements. Approved 16 "Larger Technology Grants" ($5000 max request) to allow improved data collection and referral. 2. Identify key areas where Volunteer Center leaders can benefit from training. Seek to develop Volunteer Center leaders who can raise funds and put strategies in place to sustain Volunteer Centers over time. VCM had high participation in the Volunteer Center Leadership Academy this summer. Ongoing leadership training has been built into Volunteer Center quarterly meetings to prepare centers for participation in the data collection process. Coordination of a Strategic Board Initiative t? assist up to ten Volunteer Centers in undertaking a strategic planning process for the Boards of Directors. July VCM strategic planning retreat focused on strengthening the supports offered to centers by VCM. 3. VCM should seek to gain greater buy-in and participation in ongoing efforts to develop and document the work of each Volunteer Center. This should include the �development of information collection protocols and standard reporting approaches. Contracted with NPower to create a web-based reporting mechanism fO"\ begin data collection on the indicators that were identified. ) 4. Each Volunteer Center should be collecting key information including: a. Volunteer Opportunities Registered b. Volunteers Referred c. Volunteers Placed d. Volunteer Hours Worked e. Agencies/Business Served f. Training/Consulting or other capacity building services provided. 80% immediate participation in the data collection process is expected. In addition to these activities the MCSC has requested that VCM develop a method for increasing the reach ofMichigan's Volunteer Centers. For FY06, the MCSC and VCM are offering 3-6 "Universal Coverage/Expansion Grants". These grants will allow for a collaborative community process to gauge if a center should be created, revived or expanded in targeted regions. VCM has targeted two communities where Volunteer Center closed (Marquette and Caro ), two communities where service regions can be expanded (Muskegon, Sault Ste. Marie), and two areas where fledgling efforts are in place (Livingston County, Escanaba). We believe these combined activities will expand the volunteer infrastructure in Michigan, improve opportunities for underserved counties while increasing the Volunteer Center's ability to document the impact of their work. Next Steps $250,000 is currently available for Michigan's VIG in FY 2007. The staff would like to see these funds used to strengthen the State's volunteer infrastructure while supporting the strategic goals ofthe MCSC. The staff further requests that an ad hoc committee of the MCSC Board of Directors work with us to develop revised goals and strategies for this initiative. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

The staff conducted three-hour outreach sessions in three locations- Detroit, Lansing, and Traverse City. The applications were due on April 5, 2006. We received 37 applications. The applications were reviewed using a peer and staff review process in April. Following those reviews, the staff are recommending 32 of the 3 7 for funding. The MCSC offers three categories of program funding -planning, implementation, and institutionalization. School districts that have not received funding in the past and who have no limited experience with service-learning were able to apply for a planning grant in order to develop a plan to establish service-learning throughout the district. School districts that have received funds in the past were able to apply for an implementation grant to ~xpand quality service-learning practice throughout the district. School districts that have implemented service-learning for a minimum ofthree years were able to apply for an institutionalization grant designed to sustain quality service-learning practice. The amount of funds applicants were eligible to apply for were based on the category (planning, implementation, institutionalization) and on classification of the school district by pupil membership.

In addition, the Corporation notified us that we could fund no more than 234 full-time equivalent (FTE) members with these funds. Six of our currently funded formula programs are eligible for renewal funding. In addition, we received 14 new/recompete program applications (six were from new applicants and 8 were from organizations that are in their third year of AmeriCorps funding). In total, we received requests for 376 FTEs and $4,367,699. Of the 14 new/recompete applications received, 12 of them were recommended to be staff reviewed. In addition, two of the twelve applicant organizations, the Lighthouse of Oakland and Community Mental Health for Central Michigan withdrew their applications . . The United African Community Agency and the Charlevoix Emmet ISD were not recommended out of the peer review. The Charlevoix Eminet ISD has received AmeriCorps funding since 1998. The staff decided to review their application based on their previous experience and past performance with AmeriCorps . As a result of the review the staff is not recommending Charlevoix Emmet ISD be funded . In addition, we are not recommending four of the new applicants be funded. These recommendations were based upon the quality of the application submitted and the previous program performance if applicable. Based upon the staff review of the remainder of the applications, we are recommending a 10% reduction of FTEs based upon their FY06 allocation not the FY07 request We tried to make the cut as equitable as possible at the same time trying to fund as many organizations as possible. You will note 3 �that the Ionia ISD is being recommended at the requested level because 10 FTE is the minimum an organization can request.

Lawson MEMORANDUM TO: Members of the Michigan Community Service Commission FROM: Paula Kaiser VanDam, Deputy Director Michigan Community Service Commission RE: Supplemental Staff Recommendations for 2006-2007 Michigan' s AmeriCorps Formula Grants DATE: September 21, 2006 Michigan's AmeriCorps Formula Applications Background Originally, the MCSC was awarded $2,823,228 to fund new and continuing formula programs. In August, the Corporation notified states that they had additional formula funds available for states that had utilized their initial formula allotment. These funds were the result of states not spending their formula funds in the previous fiscal year. We submitted a supplemental request in the amount of $623,311. Because this was a one time offer and we could not count on the funds in the future we decided to only request funds to make up the 10% cut that all programs received and to fund the Charlevoix Emmet Intermediate School District (the only currently existing program that was not originally recommended for funding). We were recently notified that we were awarded $426,254 in additional formula funds. The staff contacted all of the programs to gauge how many of them would be able to fill the additional AmeriCorps slots if we were to bring them up to their original request. The Catholic Family Services notified us that they wanted to reduce the size of their program so that is reflected in our recommendations. Based on their feedback the staff makes the following recommendations: �Recommendation #1 The staff recommends the additional funds for the following grantees: Program Name Ia Fund' F New/R Guidance Center Marq uette Alger ISD Regents of the University ofMI Habitat for Humanity Volunteer Muskegon Ionia ISD Camp Fire USA 06-07 06-07 06-07 MSY's CNCS Share MSY Rate Awarded Awarded Awarded #ofMSY Increase 18 14 25 28 15 10 11.7 $225,697 $164,290 $277,125 $333 ,720 $176,565 $113,472 $138,021 $12,539 $11 ,735 $11 ,085 $11,919 $11,771 $11,347 $11,797 8 3.5 4 0 1.5 30 14 15 18 24 10 $390,554 $ 179,900 $144,000 $231 ,300 $3 02,400 $129,000 $13,018 $12,850 $9,600 $12,850 $12,600 $12,900 2 -3 2 2 1 1 - 26 ·- - - ' Total$ Increase Cost perMSY 3 $ 12,539.00 $ 1 $ $ $ $ 11,735 .00 11 ,085 .00 11,919.00 11,771.00 $ $ $ $ $ - $ 37,617 .00 11 ,735.00 88,680.00 41,7 16.50 47,084.00 - $ 11,797.00 $ 17,695.50 $ 13,0 18.00 $ 26,036.00 Total MSY's 21 15 33 31.5 19 10 13 .2 Total 2006-07 CNCS Share $ $ $ $ $ 263 ,314 .00 176,025 .00 365,805.00 375,436.50 223,649.00 $ 113,472.00 $ 155,7 16.50 Formula Funding--Renewal ConnectMichigan Alliance Catholic Family Services Jumpstart for Young Children MI Primary Care Association Detroit Communities in Schools Boys Girls Club Benton Harbor Formula Funding Totals $ $ $ $ $13,300 $ 9,600.00 . $ 12,850.00 $ 12,600.00 $ 12,900.00 $ $ $ 416,590.00 (33,600.00) 19,200.00 25,700.00 12,600.00 12,900.00 32 11 17 20 25 11 307,364.00 258 .7 $3 ,11 3,408.00 - - - - - - --···- - $ 146,300.00 $ 163,200.00 $ 257,000.00 $ 315,000.00 $ 14 1,900.00 �Recommendation #2 The staff recommends new funding for the following applicant: - I Program Name - -- - - -- - 06-07 06-07 -- 06-07 MSY's CNCS Share MSYRate Awarded -~'\\'ar~ed_ ~warded #ofMSY Increase "'" - " Total Total$ Increase Cost per MSY Total MSY's - 2006-07 CNCS Share Formula Funding lcharlevoix-EmmetiSD I o I r - --.--F'OrffiuiaFWidiDg-'foiais____ __ ~-- ~--w-r _ ~- ···' ~· -_-J -- io--Ti-1(886.00 I $---1-1Ts6Tol 10 1 1$ ~o 1 10 I$ 11 ,886.00 10 1$ 1 ~ol IIC?/70lJ, vo I 11 t 1 ?&fJ ;' dV � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

December 2005 �Volunteer Centers ofM ichigan 2005 Final Evaluation Report Executive Summary Executive Summary Background The Volunteer Centers of Michigan (VCM) share a national vision , "to mobilize people and resources to deliver creative solutions to community problems." VCM is a state association of 30 Volunteer Centers. Since 2001 ,V CM has been affiliated with ConnectMichigan Alliance,t he central nonprofith ub for volunteerism in the state (and the fiduciary agent for VCM).O ther key partners in the ConnectMichigan Alliance are the Michigan Community Service Commission,M ichigan Campus Compact, and the Michigan NonprofitA ssociation. First organized in the 1960s and incorporated in 1991 ,the scope oN CM 's services was enhanced by the 1993 affiliation with the Michigan NonprofitA ssociation. Over the years, VCM has helped establish and leveraged the Romney Funds thatsu pport volunteerism in the state via endowments. The Volunteer lnvestmentG rants (VIG) creates a match to money raised locally by volunteer resource centers to supporta nd increase volunteerism in communities. For the $5 million ofst ate funding over 5 years, grantees have generated another $6 million in permanente ndowments. In today's rapidly changing and economically stressed environment,C MA,i n a coordinated manner with MCSC,M NA and other key constituent groups oft he VCM , need to see ift he course charted for VCM,t hrough its strategic plan,i s being followed. Key constituentg roups oN CM seek greater accountability and documentation oft he services provided and outcomes generated by the Volunteer Centers. The very future and sustainability oft he VCs is largely dependento n finding ways to documentse rvices provided and outcomes achieved att he community levei.A s such,C MA and VCM have requested thatK ahle Research Solutions design and implementa n evaluation. The report thatf allows summarizes results. Overview • Volunteer Centers in Michigan are diverse,f lexible,a nd customize their programs and services to the needs oft heir local communities. Michigan's VCs are diverse in the ir organ izational structure, the types ofp rograms and services they offer,k ey employee experience,f unding streams and many other factors related to generating community outcomes. • The common service thatu nifies Michigan 's Volunteer Centers is thatt hey connect volunteers with opportunities to serve .T his research documents that more than 34 ,000 volunteers were referred to opportunities to serve by Michigan's VCs during the last year.O n average,e ach Volunteer Center in the state refers more than 1,100 volunteers each year.A s not all VCs countr eferrals and not all responded to the survey, iti s reasonable to estimate thatt he number of volunteers referred is substantially higher than this. Kahle Research Solutions Inc. Page 2 �Volunteer Centers ofM ichigan • 2005 Final Evaluation Report Executive Summary In addition to connecting volunteers with opportunities to serve, most of the VCs also seek to build capacity of other nonprofits, promote volunteerism and support! ocally defined community initiatives. In some way, on average,e ach ofM ichigan's Volunteer Centers serves: o 95 local non-profita gencies o More than 10 local church groups o More than 20 local businesses , corporations or other for-profit firms o Annually hosts or coordinates 4 episodic volunteer events (such as "Day of Caring") Descriptive Information • Slightly more than half (13/52%) oft he VCs responding indicate thatt hey operate within a local United Way agency. These VCs have leaders who, on average, have about4 .5 years ofe xperience in their lead role,h ave budgets ofl ess than $100,000 and have 2 paid employees or less. • In contrast,t here are 8 (32%) VCs thata re independent 501 (c) 3 organizations. Another four (12%) operate within another nonprofita nd one (4%) operates within a Community Action Agency.T he Independent VCs have,o n average, more full-time paid employees (3.5 on average) than those operating within a local United Way and also have substantially larger budgets,w ith an average ofsl ightly more than $200,000 annually. lndependentV Csreport! arger endowments and larger Volunteer Investment Grants (VIG) than others. • Most oft he VCs have operated under one name since their inception.T he average number ofye ars a VC has been in operation is 17.4.0 n average,t he VC has been in the same location for more than 8 years . • The vast majority (88%) oft he VCs reporting indicate thatt hey are members oft he Points ofl ight Foundation.S imilarly, nearly all report thatt hey have submitted their letter ofl ntent to Affiliate with the POLF . • The common quality among all oft he VCs is their focus on connecting volunteers with opportunities to serve.A II of the 25 VCs reportf ulfilling this primary function in their local communities. • Similarly, nearly all VCs report thatt hey seek to build capacity among other nonprofits and can customize services and programs to supportco mmunity-defined local strategic initiatives. • All butt wo oft he twenty-five VCs reporting indicate thatt hey apply all four oft he Volunteer Center National Network-(VCNN) defined core competencies : connecting volunteers with the opportunity to serve, promoting volunteerism, building capacity and supporting community defined strategic initiatives. Kahle Research Solutions Inc. Page 3 �Volunteer Centers ofM ichigan 2005 Final Evaluation Report Executive Summary Inventory oN C Activities • While Michigan's VCs are diverse, there are core programmatic offerings that the vast majority implements. More than 75% of the VCs reporting indicate that they operate the following programs or deliver the following services. o Develop youth-oriented volunteer opportunities o Assist local schools with volunteer opportunities for students K-12 o Assist faith-based organizations in finding volunteer opportunities o Match corporate volunteers with opportunities in the community o Collaborate with post-secondary (community college,co liege or university) educational institutions in placing students o Place adjudicated youth in community service positions o Convene organizations to address community problems o Host and/or organize volunteer recognition programs o Write grants to support their Volunteer Center • Between 50 and 75% of Michigan's VCs operate the following type ofp rograms . o Operate Web-based matching service o Organize family volunteer opportunities o Coordinate large scale one-day volunteer opportunities (Make a Difference Day I Day ofC aring) o Place adjudicated adults in community service positions o Provide training to volunteer coordinators o Operate holiday gift giving for the needy ("adopta family" programs) o Conduct fund raising events for their Volunteer Center o Operate environmental,cl ean-up,b eautification programs o SupportA merica's Promise in their community Outcomes • Michigan's VCs are diverse. The types of programs operated illustrate this diversity and the meaningful assistance they provide to their communities. While in some cases only a few oft he VCs operate these types ofp rograms, those that do so have a greati mpact. Organized by the four core competencies, Michigan's VCs connect, promote volunteerism, build capacity and support! ocal strategic initiatives. For example: Connecting Volunteers with Opportunities to Serve o Coordinating supportf rom a local Home Depott o donate supplies and labor to essentially rebuild a Youth Crisis Center. o Helping to develop and coordinate 13 agencies to deliver safe and affordable transportation to citizens in need , ensuring their continued independence and access to vital health services. o Providing free tax preparation to low-income families. Kahle Research Solutions Inc. Page 4 �Volunteer Cen ters ofM ichigan 2005 Final Evaluation Report Executive Summary Promoting Volunteerism o Supporting the Michigan Service Award program that recognizes high school students for volunteerism. Building Capacity o Implementing a Web-based volunteer matching application greatly increasing the efficiency ofm atching volunteers with appropriate opportunities to serve.T his increased efficiency has allowed stafft o work on agency capacity building initiatives like program assessment,co nsulting and training services. Local Strategic Initiatives o As a resulto f hurricane Katrina,n early 400 evacuees came from the gulfr egion to be housed temporarily att he Forte uster near Battle Creek. According to a local leader, with less than 48 hours notice, "the Volunteer Center helped enormously by recruiting , scheduling and providing opportunities with the information they needed to help in the reliefe ffort ." The VC placed more than 150 volunteers to assist with clothing and the organization ofa center where evacuees could go to receive clothing and personal care items. o Organizing and supporting annual Gun Buyback programs and educating the community aboutt he risk ofke eping guns in homes, especially those homes with children . This efforth as raised awareness and contributed to stemming violence in the community. • As is detailed in Appendix B oft he full report, nearly all of Michigan's Volunteer Centers have success stories thati llustrate their unique contributions to their respective local communities . Kahle Research Solutions Inc. Page 5 �Volunteer Centers ofM ichigan 2005 Final Evaluation Report Executive Summary Recommendations VCM Related • ·vcM should conduct a very careful ,i ntrospective review ofi ts mission, vision, and methods of operation.V CM should seek to more effectively engage its members and make VCM more relevanta nd integrated into the success ofe ach operation ,e specially as the model for VCs changes. • Seek to further understand the differences and commonalities oN Cs, particularly those that are independenta nd those that are within United Way and other nonprofito rganizations . Consider,b ased on the research presented here, segmenting VCM services by organizational structure oft he VC.B e especially mindful thatm any United Way agencies have moved to a "Community Impact" model,w hich may have the effect of changing emphasis away from traditional Volunteer Center models. • VCM should take on a strong advocacy role on behalfo fi ts member Centers, especially in relation to the POLF and federal and state funding sources.T his advocacy needs to include efforts to secure greater amounts ofo perational support dollars for each ofM ichigan VCs. VCM should target POLF for direct financial supportt o its member VCs. • Encourage competing software providers to adoptst andard definitions/collection protocol so thata ny title can be used with comparable statistics produced .! n coordination with Volunteer Centers of California and other major clients of software producers, request standard protocols and compatible outputs as system requirements. • Seek technical supportf or Michigan's VCs so thatt hey can use technology more efficiently and effectively to connect. • Identify key areas where VC leaders can benefitf rom training. Seek to develop VC leaders who can raise funds for operational support and putst rategies inplace to sustain local VCs over time. • VCM should seek to gain greater buy-in and participation in ongoing efforts to develop and documentt he work ofe ach VC.T raining ofp eople and development ofi nformation systems with defined terms, common collection protocols, and standard reporting approaches are essential to building stronger case statements. Similarly, VCM needs to seek 100% participation from all member VCs in evaluative and jointm arketing and promotional efforts. Kahle Research Solutions Inc. Page 6 �Volunteer Centers ofM ichigan 2005 Final Evaluation Report Executive Summary Volunteer Center Related • Seek to improve VC leaders training and knowledge related to evaluation; enhance procedures and record keeping in order to better documentw ork · p·roduct. Specifically, we recommend that,m inimally, each VC record and maintain information on a monthly,q uarterly and annual basis related to the following key variables. Volunteer Opportunities Registered Volunteers Referred Volunteers Placed Volunteer Hours Worked Agencies/Business Served Training/Consulting or other capacity building services provided • In addition, when VCs are operating specific programs, documents pecific program data.F or example ,co llect data for adjudicated youth or adults placed in community service positions. Perhaps even consider tracking these volunteers to see ift hey have further contact with law enforcemento fficials , or not. • VC leaders should continue to develop the ir respective success stories. These are currently the mostco nvincing data ava ilable thatd ocument the impact oft he VCs. VC leaders can amplify and communicate their success stories to all of their key constituents including their board members, funding sources, volunteers and partner agencies. • Similarly, VC leaders can use the success story approach to plan for the future . Each VC leader can identify and create the success stories thatt hey wantt o write in six, twelve or eighteen months. Through this approach, the VC can put plans in place to make the desired success stories a reality. Kahle Research Solutions Inc.

Over the past year, national service has played a vital role in post-Hurricane Katrina recovery and rebuilding in the Gulf Coast region. More than 396 national service programs have sent 35, 138 members to the Gulf Coast. National service participants have committed more than I,624,335 hours of service on projects including: • • • transporting supplies and evacuees; removing and remediating mold; raising funds; • • • leading 92,894 volunteers in service; staffing hodines; working in shelters • collecting and sorting donations of food, clothing, and school supplies. Our goal is to continue to grow the broad bipartisan support for national service that has emerged over the last decade. There are three current issues on which we want to share our views: FY07 Appropriations We support the funding levels for the programs administered by the Corporation for National and Community Service (CNCS) as approved by the Senate Appropriations Committee on July 18, 2006: $383 million for AmeriCorps, $217 million for the Senior Corps, $34 million for Learn and Serve America, and $26 million for National Civilian Community Corps (NCCC). The Senate funding levels are more robust than the President's request and the House levels, providing CNCS with a total of $53.6 million more than the House appropriation and reversing the President's recommendation to eliminate the NCCC. We are concerned, however, that the Senate levels still represent a cut over Fiscal Year 2006 levels (with AmeriCorps cut by $20 million and Learn and Serve America cut by $3 mill ion). Every year since Fiscal Year 2004, Congress has appropriated less funding for national service programs - a trend that should be stopped and reversed to meet the record demand for service opportunities. The cuts recommended by the House are so deep t hat we are in danger of returning to pre-FY 2004 funding levels (see graphs on reverse side). Proposed Cut to Education Award In its FY07 Labor-HHS Committee Report, the House recommends cutting the AmeriCorps post-service educational benefit by $675. Language in the report states that the AmeriCorps Education Award should track the maximum Pel! Grant. which is currently $4,050. However, there is a major difference between the two benefits: qualified AmeriCorps alumni can only receive up to two Education Awards, and these awards are taxed ; Pell Grants are not taxed and current regulations pose no limit on the number an individual can receive. The education award of the Gl Bill - which served as an index for the AmeriCorps Education Award when it was created in 1993 - has increased dramatically over time to r~flect the inflationary costs of higher education, and these benefits are not taxable. If the AmeriCorps Education Award had been increased in proportion to the Gl Bill since 1993, the award would now be worth more .than $16,000. A cut to the award directly harms participants and sends the wrong message about the value of serving our country. Access to higher education is part of the American dream and an important benefit of service to our nation fo r AmeriCorps members who complete a full term . FY08 Appropriations We ask Congress to reverse the trend of declining funding for national service programs with the restoration of Fiscal Year 2004 funding levels for AmeriCorps and Learn and Serve America in Fiscal Year 2008-$441 million for AmeriCorps, $43 million for Learn and Serve America. Seldom has there been a time in our nation's history when service- military or civilian - has been of more critical importance to our nation's strength and security. Increasing investment in AmeriCorps and Learn and Serve America would allow more Americans to serve, and create greater capacity to meet critical community needs for the benefit of children, families, the elderly, and the environment. �Appropriations History Corporation for National and Community Service FY04- FY07 Corporation for National and Community Service ~ -"l 960,000 0 ""0 940,000 0 920,000 "'c: 900,000 ""0 ::! 880 ,000 -5 860,000 .£ "' c: 840,000 "0 820,000 .Q +' 'C "' 800 ,000 ea. 780,000 a. ~ -· - - - - -- -- ~-- · 760 ,000 FYOS FY04 FY06 FY07 Fiscal Year 1- · +·-House & Sen ate - - Requested I AmeriCorps Grants and National Service Trust 450,000 0 ""0 "'c: 425 ,000 ::! 400 ,000 "0 -5 1:: .£ -"l c: ""0 ., .g 375 ,000 0 350 ,000 ·c"' --. 342,780 Q. e 325 ,000 Q.

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: Paula Kaiser VanDam, Acting Executive Director DATE: November 15, 2006 RE: MCSC Board Report Although it bas only been a short time since we last met, we have quite a bit to share with you regarding national and state updates. National Service The FY07 appropriation for the Corporation for National and Community Service has still not been approved. Now that the election is over there is hope that Congress will be taking it up before the end of the year. In the meantime, we continue to operate under a continuing resolution. AmeriCorps The Corporation has issued proposed rules on criminal history checks for AmeriCorps members and grant-funded employees with recurring access to children, persons 60 or older, or individuals with disabilities. These rules also apply to Senior Companions and Foster Grandparents as well. The rule would require a search (name-based or fingerprint-based) of the state criminal history registry for the state in which the program operates and the state in which the applicant resides at the time of application. It would also require a name-based search of the on-line national sex offender registry. The new rule would not allow registered sex offenders to serve as AmeriCorps members, Senior Companions, Foster Grandparents, or grant funded staff. We have 60 days to submit comments on the proposed rule. If the new rule is implemented it will have little impact in Michigan as the programs currently meet the proposed rule. �1 The Michigan ' s AmeriCorps Member Celebration will take place on November 16 h. We have over 500 AmeriCorps members registered to participate. This is our largest event ever. This event provides an opportunity for all current Michigan's AmeriCorps members to come together for a day of training, speakers, teambuilding, and festivities . The Celebration offers several workshops that focus on professional development, volunteer recruitment, service project planning, and other topics relevant to national ahd community service. Throughout the day, members; are able to network, share resources, and listen to speakers from various service backgrounds. The swearing-in ceremony and AmeriCorps pledge conclude the Member Celebration, reaffirming members' commitment to AmeriCorps and national service. Over 900 members will be serving through 21 different programs this year. The Russ Maw by Signature Service project will take place on June 6 - 7, 2007 in Detroit. Over 300 AmeriCorps members will gather to help with the construction of several Habitat for Humanity homes. Please mark your calendar and plan to join us. Learn and Serve MSUE Community-Based Service-Learning and Peer Mentoring Grants The MCSC and Michigan State University Extension (MSUE) partnered on a competitive CommunityBased Learn and Serve America grant this spring. We were one of 50 programs that were selected out of an applicant pool of more than 500. MSUE has sub granted to local Extension offices in order to create youth peer mentoring programs that include service-learning experiences for the mentor. Sixteen counties were selected to participate in the pilot year: Antrim, Barry, Benzie, Cheboygan, Crawford, Gratiot, Ingham, Leelanau, Luce, Mackinac, Macomb, Oakland, Otsego, Presque Isle, Schoolcraft, and Van Buren. Additional counties will be added in year two and three. 2006 Learn and Serve America Grantee Meeting (October 31 , 2006- November 3, 2006) Garry Gross, Angelia Salas and Jeanine Yard just returned from the Learn and Serve America Grantee Meeting in Washington DC. This mandatory meeting was the kick-off to the new three-year grant cycle for our school and community-based grants. The staff attended a variety of sessions designed to strengthen their knowledge and skills in the area of financial and programmatic management. Jeanine and Angelia were tapped to lead sessions and were looked to for expertise on Corporation for National and Community Service report streamlining, legislative outreach and the development of a youth speakers bureau. During her opening address Amy Cohen, Director of Learn and Serve America used Michigan ' s L'Anse Creuse Public Schools as an example of how schools can strategically marry service-learning to other service initiatives in schools. During a session on High Quality ServiceLearning Evaluation, Shelly Billig from RMC Research shared highlights on the impact of servicelearning on academic achievement and civic engagement. Dr. Billig shared that the results of the multi-state study suggests that the quality of service-learning occurring in Michigan exceeds that found in the other test states. Statewide Service Department of Human Services The MCSC is now part of the Department ofHuman Services (DHS). The official transfer occurred in October. We report directly to Director Marianne Udow. We owe a huge thanks to Jocelyn Yanda of DHS for helping make the transition a smooth one. 2 �Mentor Michigan: Mentoring Conference On October 25, Mentor Michigan hosted its first statewide mentoring conference. The event was sold out with nearly 400 attendees. The national speakers and presenters such as Richard Rowe of the African American Male Leadership Institute, Dr. Susan Weinberger (aka Dr. Mentor) and the National Mentoring Center made the fust statewide conference a great su,ccess. Mentoring professionals explored topics such as orienting and training mentors, mentoririg hard-to-reach youth, the basics of background checks, lessons in school-based mentoring, recruiting African-American male mentors, employing successful media strategies, using the Mentor Michigan Census, and much more. Next year's conference will be held October 24, 2007. Mentor Michigan Census We have the results ofthe Mentor Michigan Census Wave JV.and have lots to celebrate. Bob Kahle, our researcher, will be sharing some of the results at the board meeting. To highlight a few accomplishments, an estimated 35,000 children were mentored last year-- an increase of more than 4,000 youth since last year's census. Mentoring organizations are serving 11,709 more children today than in September 2004. There were 5,000 more mentors this year than last year at this time. Finally, satisfaction with Mentor Michigan remains high. Eighty-six percent ofMMC respondents indicate that they are "very" or "somewhat" satisfied with our work. Mentoring Standards Checklist The Mentor Michigan Providers Council has introduced its brand new Program Self-Assessment Checklist This document is the action-oriented counterpart to the Quality Program Standards for Youth Mentoring. By consulting the Checklist document, a mentoring program can evaluate what it takes to meet each Standard, review which essential policies they are already employing, and chart its progress as it implements additional practices. The Checklist was created with the intent that it would be a straight-forward guide that supports the continual drive to increase quality work. Mentoring Month January is National Mentoring Month and Michigan's Mentoring Month. This year's theme is "Motivating Men to Mentor." Mentor Michigan wiJJ once again provide an on-line Communications Tool Kit (www.mentormichigan.org). The Tool Kit provides resources and ideas for outreach to media, as well as current and potential mentors. This year during National Mentoring Month, Mentor Michigan is launching its Men in Mentoring Recruitment Challenge. The challenge is for mentoring organizations to recruit more male mentors. The registered organization that has the highest percentage of increase in new male mentors from January 1-31 , 2007 will receive a no-strings-attached $2,000 grant Participation is limited to organizations that took part in Wave IV of the Mentor Michigan Census. Every program registered in the challenge will receive $200 to award to the mentor within their organization who refers the most new male mentors. The deadline to register is 5:00p.m. on Friday, November 24, 2006. Registration information can be found at www.mentormichigan.org. 211 We have had some initial conversations with the statewide 211 staff at the United Way of Michigan. They are eager to partner with us in order to expand 211 to include information about volunteer opportunities. We agreed to pilot the 211 number for Michigan Mentoring Month in three 3 �communities (Detroit, Grand Rapids, and Jackson) . We will be hosting a meeting of the volunteer centers and the 211 staff from each ofthose communities to talk about the rollout for January. ConnectMichigan Alliance/Michigan Nonprofit Association Senior management of the Michigan Nonprofit Association (MNA) and the ConnectMichigan Alliance (CMA) re·commended to their respective boards an investigative dialogue toward determining the possible development of closer mission alignment, increased efficiency and assured sustainability through a merger of the two organizations. Both boards have agreed to move forward with the dialogue. A small committee representing all of the Alliance partners has been formed. Janet Lawson and Dr. Russ Mawby will be representing MCSC on the committee. The potential merger was discussed with the MCSC Executive Committee. They all agreed that it is important to ensure that the $20 million endowment will continue to support volunteerism, not the broader nonprofit sector. The committee will meet for the first time on November 29th. 4 � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

The meeting was called to order at 10:00 a.m. Members present: Chairman Dan Mulhern, Rob Collier, Vice-Chair; Russ Mawby, Bernard Parker and Kari Pardoe. Staff present: Paula VanDam and Janice Harvey. November Board Meeting Agenda Paula VanDam went thro\lgh the agenda for the November board meeting. Bob Kahle will present the Wave IV Census results at the beginning of the meeting. Commissioners will break after his presentation to join the AmeriCorps Member Celebration to visit their program displays. It was suggested that an agenda item be added to give an overview of "What is AmeriCorps?" so that Commissioners will have a better understanding before visiting the displays. It was also suggested that there could be some potential questions for Commissioners to ask during the visits. Mentor Michigan Paula VanDam shared the Mentor Michigan Wave IV Executive Summary. This census had the highest response rate from mentoring organizations. It also showed significant growth in mentoring. Wave I showed there were 9,000 mentors, compared to 16,000 active mentors in Wave IV. It also shows that a higher percentage of organizations had an increase in mentoring relationships and the lowest percentage had a decrease in the number of children matched. It was recommended to have a press release at the mentoring conference with the �census information. The question was asked whether this growth is happening anywhere else around the country. Ms. VanDam didn 't have the answer but was going to follow up on it. Paula VanDam is participating in a conference call with CNCS and Colorado about the National Mentoring Month and asking state commissions to play an active role in promoting it. She will update Commissioners on this call. She also, gave an update on the upcoming Statewide Mentoring Conference and shared that there an; almost 400 people registered. Bernard Parker and Paula VanDam are going to have a conversation on African American recruitment strategies. Committee Update Conference calls are scheduled for the three new committees established at the September board meeting. Summaries of the calls will be given out at the November board meeting. CMAIMNA Update Paula VanDam gave an update on the alignment plans of the Michigan Nonprofit Association and the Connect Michigan Alliance. Mr. Collier shared that there is a general consensus that the concept of the consolidation makes sense. The CMA Board approved a resolution to form a committee with MNA to study options for the alignment. MCSC members agreed that the mission ofCMA needs to remain intact and not overshadowed by MNA's mission. They also discussed the need to insure that the endowment will continue to support volunteerism and not the broader nonprofit sector. The MCSC will have two representatives on the committee that will explore the alignment. Mr. Mulhern believes that because of the State money invested in CMA and the role the MCSC played in securing the funding, we must play a stewardship role to ensure the mission of CMA and the intent of the endowment is honored. We need to have clarity on how the funds will be used, push for evidence of the expanded mission, and also preserve the original mission to maintain the commitment to spread volunteerism around the state. The meeting was adjourned at 10:30 am. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

VanDam, Janice Harvey, Marcy Bishop, Mark Mulla Goals: Review and approve Michigan's AmeriCorps 2007-2008 funding process Provide guidance for 2007 VIG funding process AmeriCorps Paula VanDam explained the background of the application process (see attached document titled 2007-08 AmeriCorps Grant Application Cycle). The competitive application is due to the CNCS by mid-January. Staff recommended that due to projected cuts in AmeriCorps funding on the national level, that an "open application process" is not advisable for 2007-08. Committee members recommended that the MCSC will invite the strongest programs that submitted applications for 2006-07 to reapply competitively for 2007-08. At this time of the four that previously submitted, one is not interested in reapplying, one is interested, and staff is in the process of finding out the interest from the other two programs. They are: • Community Action Agency, Battle Creek (waiting to hear) • Community Mental Health Mid Michigan, Mt. Pleasant (not interested) • Huron Pines Conservation & Development Council, Grayling (interested) • Lighthouse, Oakland County (waiting to hear) Committee members also recommended that five organizations would be asked to submit recompete competitive applications. They are: • City Year • MSU Extension • MI Department of Agriculture • BHK Child Development • Good Samaritan Ministrie~ Committee members also recommended that the existing programs that were submitted for CNCS competitive funding but did not get funded (they were funded by formula) be asked to submit competitive applications. They are: • MARESA AmeriCorps, Marquette • University of Michigan- Michigan AmeriCorps Partnership, Wayne Co. • Michigan Habitats AmeriCorps, statewide, based in Lansing • Downriver CARES AmeriCorps, Southgate • Volunteer Muskegon Red Cross received three years of competitive funding in its initial year and therefore we not need to reapply for funding until 2009. �MCSC is in discussion with Connect Michigan Alliance and MSU Extension on the possibility of merging the Mentor Michigan AmeriCorps program with the MSU Extension AmeriCorps program. MSU Extension would administer the newly formed program. There is concern that MSU Extension is in their ih year of funding and Mentor Michigan AmeriCorps will be in their 3rd year so the match requirement for the MSU Extension in the ih year with the additional FTE's and funding will be a problem. Paula will report bac~ to the committee on the progress of this merger. But it needs to be resolved within a month so that they can begin application process for competitive funding, which is due the beginning of December. Michigan's Volunteer Investment Grant The MCSC has received $250,000 for FY07. Committee Members agreed that the intent of the funding should support the volunteer infrastructure and increase the number of volunteers in Michigan. There was discussion on the comparison of the 211 program to the 1-800-Volunteer program. The 211 program is run through local United Way organizations. They would have information on volunteer organizations to provide to callers. The 1-800-Volunteer phone number is run through the Points of Light Foundation. The callers don't always get directed to their local volunteer centers. Some United Way organizations have both programs. The 211 program is not statewide so that may create a problem if the MCSC decides to partner with them to expand the volunteer infrastructure. If we used the 211 program, they would be able to document and track the number of calls and the type of volunteering people are interested in. Next steps: • Paula VanDam is meeting with folks from 211 to gain more information. • Find out where 211 is currently located in the State • Map of volunteer centers I 211 centers • Convene another call to look and bringing people to the table • Strategically use the funding over the next few years to make a difference in the infrastructure � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

RFP Available: RFP Deadline: Friday, August 4, 2006 Thursday, January 4, 2007 Cycle Begins: Cycle Ends: January,2006 Monday, August 1, 2007 (approximate date) Funding is contingent on the Corporation for National and Community Service approval of the Learn and Serve America: Higher Education Program funding Michigan Campus Compact is affiliated with ConnectMichigan Alliance and Campus Compact Introduction: In 2006, the Michigan Campus Compact (MCC), a coalition of Michigan college and university presidents dedicated to the promotion of civic education for college students through meaningful and purposeful connections with the community, applied for Learn and Serve funding from the Corporation for National and Community Service. Learn and Serve supports and encourages servicelearning throughout the United States, and enables over one million students to make meaningful contributions to their community while building their academic and civic skills. By engaging our nation ' s young people in service-learning, Learn and Serve instills an ethic of lifelong community engagement. MCC is a program of the ConnectMichigan Alliance (CMA), a 50l(c)3 nonprofit organization with the function "to build service and volunteering through organizations where we live, work and learn". MCC, with the help and support of statewide partners, proposes to facilitate the implementation of service and service-learning projects through the Investing in College Futures (ICF) grant program. ICF grants will benefit disadvantaged youth and positively reinforce the merits of higher education among current college students and disadvantaged youth. In addition, the programs will strengthen the ability of colleges and universities to institutionalize service and service-learning while engaging alumni, students, faculty, and staff in issues concerning disadvantaged youth. ICF will involve more than 3,800 participants in three years, including college and university alumni from the Baby Boom generation, and launch more than 126 service and/or service-learning projects. Description of Brighter Futures Grants: In the 2006-2007 academic year, MCC will award twelve competitive grants in the amount of $6,000 each ($72,000 annum) to help campus/community partnerships form and develop new courses and service projects addressing the needs of disadvantaged youth. Eligible applicants include faculty and campus/community partners. This program is modeled after previous MCC initiatives such as Venture Grants, Faculty Fellowships, and Campus Community Partnership Grants. Eligible applicants include MCC member campuses and member campuses partnered with community agencies responding to MCC 's February 2006 "Call for Interest" Applicants who envision how the grant will help them increase the number of people involved in the service efforts, reach out to currently unengaged faculty, alumni, baby boomers and students, and institutionalize campus engagement efforts, will be most successful. Applicants will be required to identify how they will sustain commitment to the initiative past the grant period. Applicants w ill be required to provide a I : I match, either cash or in-kind, to demonstrate commitment to the program. Grants will be awarded through a competitive selection process, with special consideration for proposals addressing: �• • • • • • Neighborhoods and schools with high poverty rates Below grade-level performance in school, and schools not making Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP) Time spent in the juvenile system or in foster care Mental and/or physical disabilities Incarcerated parents Baby Boomer alumni in volunteerism Requirements: Grantees will be selected based on their ability to provide sound program and fiscal oversight.

This initiative will benefit disadvantaged youth and positively reinforce the merits of higher education among current students and disadvantaged youth. Support from the Corporation for National and Community Service will assist MCC to implement ICF and the sustainable service-learning projects it will generate, enhancing the educational landscape for current and future students. ICF will involve more than 3,800 participants in three years, including alumni from the Baby Boom generation, and launch more than 126 service and/or service-learning projects. Outreach, training and technical assistance will support three subgranting programs: • Campus Partners for Youth grants will help campuses align outreach efforts, create new programs to address the needs of disadvantaged youth, and develop systems which emphasize the reallocation of resources to ensure a brighter future for youth in their community. • Brighter Futures grants will help campus/community partnerships form and develop new courses and service projects addressing the needs of disadvantaged youth. • Youth to Youth grants will help college students who create and implement service and service-learning projects to positively impact disadvantaged youth. MCC and the ICF program will strengthen the ability of colleges and universities to serve the needs of Michigan' s youth and institutionalize service and service-learning while engaging alumni, students, faculty, and staff in service. Most importantly, the impact of this initiative will grow exponentially as more college students are retained at the college level and more youth see college in their future. �Descriptions of Awarded Programs Alma College Serving disadvantaged youth in the city of Alma The Mentor PLUS (People Learning and Uniting in Service) program is designed to provide a mentor support system for Alma middle school and high school youth. Through the vigorous recruitment of Alma College students, faculty, staff, and local alumni, positive mentor relationships will be established and thrive via the Alma Public Schools Explore After School program and through the creation of a mentor friendly campus and community environment. Eastern Michigan University Serving disadvantaged youth in the cities of Ann Arbor, Detroit, and Jackson Eastern Michigan University (EMU) and Lutheran Social Services of Michigan (LSSM) are partnering on a foster care parenting awareness campaign to address the problems of foster care adult support and the education of foster care youth who are aging out of the system. WriteLink, a one-week summer program that pairs EMU alumni with high school juniors and seniors to mentor them in various fields of writing, will serve as a vehicle for conducting foster parent/youth interviews in communities where there is the greatest need for foster care, such as in Detroit, Jackson, and Ann Arbor. LSSM will enlist the help of EMU students to develop a promotion campaign aimed to attract more individuals to serve as foster parents. Lake Superior State University Serving disadvantaged youth in Chippewa County In partnership with the United Way, Lake Superior State University (LSSU) is working to integrate service and service-learning opportunities into the campus culture. Through the Investing in College Futures program, they will create a satellite volunteer center on the LSSU campus, develop an after school program targeting middle school youth, and collaborate with the Upward Bound program to design service-learning projects for its summer participants. This funding opportunity will help bridge the gap between LSSU and the larger Chippewa County community, and offers an opportunity to make a lasting impact on disadvantaged youth in the area. Oakland Community College Serving disadvantaged youth in Oakland County College Connections is a new enrichment component of Mentor Connection (a program of Jewish Family Service) that matches disadvantaged youth in Oakland County with Oakland Community College (OCC) students, faculty, staff and alumni with the goal of exposing youth to college and encouraging them to set long-term education and career goals. The College Connections initiative includes the following activities: A new service-learning opportunity involving youth mentoring will be created at OCC; the college staff and students will engage in joint community service projects with mentors and youth; OCC will invite mentors and youth to college-hosted events; and youth participants will take part in dual enrollment opportunities at occ. �..

Teen Leader Corps will develop a core group of youth leaders through regular exposure to, and in collaboration with, college students and faculty in shared performing arts activities. Youth leaders will then peer mentor additional youth in their area. Campus Campaign will implement a strategic set of activities to increase college student, faculty, and staff involvement in the Community Theater Collaborative. A Summer Theater Institute will serve as an annual gathering of youth, faculty and staff where youth will have the opportunity to experience college life and engage in performing arts activities. Wayne State University Serving disadvantaged youth in the city of Detroit To address the key issues of diversity recruitment and retention, Wayne State University will implement three new projects: the Community-for-All Ages Project, the Bridging the Racial Divide Project, and the Strategies for Educational Success Project, which will involve Latino Family Services, and Communities in Schools. For each project, Detroit K-12 students will be provided with interesting and meaningful programming while being mentored by WSU students and faculty. Learning opportunities to improve literacy, engage in job skills training, and better understand racial divisions in Detroit will encourage diversity recruitment to WSU and enhance the educational experiences of current students.

Michigan Campus Compact (MCC) proudly announces a funding opportunity to support students of MCC member institutions to impact the lives of disadvantaged youth. The Youth to Youth Grant is designed to aid in the creation of opportunities for students to design and fund their own ideas around community service. These funds are awarded on a reimbursement basis. Sample Projects Funds from this grant could be applied to projects such as: • Horticulture mentoring sessions with at-risk youth that led to a landscape renovation project at an inner city high school (Do you have a passion for learning you wo uld like to pass on to youth in your comm unity?). • Recruiting other students to participate as mentors for Big Brothers Big Sisters or America Reads (You know yo u learn a lot fro m service, how would yo u insp ire your fellow stud en ts and organization member to be involved in t he lives of youth in your com munity'?) . • Sponsor a "College Club" for high school or middle school students in understanding college and preparing to attend college (Did . omeone help you to navigate attending co llege? Could you help someone else who needs that support?). • Coordinate an after-school program on your campus or in the community that provides a safe place for kids to be after school and learn (Are th ere fac ili ties on your <..:ampus th at youth wo uld never ha ve access to without your help?). • Host a campus summit that brings together groups serving youth in the community and develop a campus recruitment strategy (Cou ld the groups on your campus that are already serving youth use a boost in participation?). Background on the grant: In 2006, the Michigan Campus Compact (MCC), a coalition of Michigan college and university presidents dedicated to the promotion of civic education for college students through meaningful and purposeful connections with the community, applied for Learn and Serve funding from the Corporation for National and Community Service. Learn and Serve supports and encourages service-learning throughout the United States, and enables over one million students to make meaningful contributions to their community while building their academic and civic ski lls. By engaging our nation 's young people in service-learning, Learn and Serve instills an ethic of lifelong commu nity engagement. MCC is a program of the ConnectMichigan Alliance (CMA), a 50l(c)3 nonprofit organization with the function " to build service and volunteering through organizations where we live, work and learn". MCC with the help and support of statewide partners proposes to facilitate the implementation of service and servicelearning projects through the Investing in College Futures (ICF) grant programs. The ICF grants will benefit disadvantaged youth and positively reinforce the merits of higher education among current students and disadvantaged youth. In addition, the programs will strengthen the ability of colleges and universities to institutionalize service and service-learning while engaging alumni, students, faculty, and staff in issues for disadvantaged youth. ICF will involve more than 3,800 participants in three years, including college and university alumni from the Baby Boom generation, and launch more than 126 service and/or service-learning projects. The Youth to Youth grant program will award fifteen grants in the amount of $1 ,000 each ($15 ,000 annum) to help college students who create and implement service projects to positively impact disadvantaged youth . Students will apply and carry out the grant with an advisor. This program is modeled after a Learn and Serve-sponsored Student Fellowship I �program and the MCC Student Community Action Fund. MCC learned from those initiatives that students writing these grants inspired creative projects and strategies for recruiting previously uninvolved students to participate in service. All applicants will successfully secure the necessary I: I match component and develop relationships with an advisor to help them navigate the college and community. Funding Source: Funds for this project are made possible through the Corporation for National and Community Service: Learn and Serve program.

The MMC is a periodic, on-line survey of organization operating mentoring programs in the state of Michigan. Wave I of the MMC was conducted in the fall of 2004, Wave II in March 2005, Wave Ill in October of 2005. Data for Wave IV were collected in September and October of 2006. This report focuses on the overall mentoring "funnel" measures, including total number of mentoring organizations, number of inquiries, written applications, new mentor matched, as well as measures of screening, training and mentoring duration and intensity. In addition, satisfaction with Mentor Michigan and the services it provides is tracked and presented. 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 . There were other special issues covered in Wave IV of the MMC. These are mentoring organizations satisfaction and experiences with AmeriCorps and VISTA members and a focus on understanding mentoring organizations experiences with mentoring collaboratives and other partners. These two reports, as well as a report that analyzes the funnel measures by geography area are posted on the Mentor Michigan web site. Similarly, reports and presentations from previous waves of the Census can be found at www.michigan.gov/mentormichigan. Any questions regarding the data presented in these reports or the methods used to collect and analyze these data should be directed to Robert W. Kahle, Ph.D, at RWKahle@KahleResearch.com Kahle Research Solutions Page 2 �Mentor Michigan Census Wave IV Overview • Mento ring Organizations/Total Children Served: Wave IV of the Mentor Michigan Censu~ {MMC) was conducted in September and October of 2006 . One hundred and thirty seven mentoring organizations operating 265 distinct prbgrams report that they have matched 28,283 children with a mentor during the last year. This represents the largest number of children having mentors in the state's history and also the highest number of mentoring organizations ever responding to the MMC. As there are 237 organizations in the Mentor Michigan Registry, this survey achieved a 58% response rate. This is the highest ever recorded for the MMC. As there are organizations that did not report, it is reasonable to estimate that there are more than 35,000 mentoring relationships in the state of Michigan in 2006 . • Active Mentors: Wave IV of the census documents 16,382 active mentors, the largest number of mentors ever counted in the state of Michigan. It compares to 11,767 mentors counted in Wave Ill, an increase of 5,065. These mentors represent organizations operating out of 39 of Michigan's 83 counties. Number of Active Mentors Wave I vs. Wave II vs. Wave Ill vs. Wave IV Wave I 10,546 Wave II Wave Ill Wave IV 0 • 2,000 4,000 6,000 8,000 10,000 12,000 14,000 16,000 18,000 Youth Mento red: Measuring another way confirms that the number of mentoring relationships in Michigan is growing. The table below shows that 41% of mentoring organizations report an increase while only 9% (the lowest ever measured) report a decrease in number of children matched . Among those organizations reporting an increase, in aggregate, the number matched with a mentor has increased by more than 4,000 since one year ago. Among those reporting a decrease, the aggregate number of matches is down 585 . This yields a net change of more than 3,600 matches since last year at this time . • Kahle Research Solutions Page 3 �Mentor Michigan Census Wave IV Change in the Number of Youth Mentored 96 organizations report an increase in matches of . . . . . . .. 4,194 22 organizations report a decrease in matches of....... .... 585 ' Net change ..... ..... 3,609 • Inquiries and Applications: The number of inquiries to become a mentor received by Michigan's mentoring organizations is up substantially. More than 17,000 inquiries were counted during this Wave, again the highest ever. The monthly average of inquiries to become a mentor is increasing with each Wave. Yet, the number of written applications is not keeping pace with the number of inquiries. Still , 8,000 written applications (more than ever) to become a mentor were received by Michigan's mentoring organizations in the last year. • Qualitative feedback in this survey confirms that Mentor Michigan's awareness building efforts are working , as illustrated by the comments below. "Visibility in our community has improved- a more solid reputation because it's backed by Mentor Michigan, legitimacy. " ':Awareness of our program, and mentoring in general, has increased." "Public awareness has greatly improved mentor recruitment."

Michigan's mentors remain mostly female and white, with little change since the last Wave. However, Wave IV does show a slight (2% - not significant) increase in both the number of male and Africari-Anierican mentors over Wave Ill. This coincides with a (2%- not significant) decrease in the number of female and Caucasian mentors. • The number of mentors under age 18 and those in the 18- 25 age group declined slightly in Wave IV (by 7% and 4% respectively).

The reason for this increase may be due to the types of organizations reporting in this Wave, rather than an actual increase in the number of girls being served. • Data from Wave IV shows a drop in the number of mentored youth under the age of 5 (6% compared to 21% in Wave Ill). This change can be attributed to the absence of a mentoring program from Wave Ill that counted a significant number of young clients. Youth Gender Wave I vs. Wave II vs. Wave Ill vs. Wave IV .

No respondents indicated that they were dissatisfied with the _Standards. • Satisfaction with the Quality Program Standards among respondents is reflected in their comments below: 'The standards helped to ensure we have an effective mentor screening process. It has also helped in the training portion of the program. " "(The Standards provide) more insight and validation in the types of programs we create and want to implement. " Changes made as a result of reviewing the Standards • In the qualitative area of the survey, respondents note many specific, positive ways that the Quality Program Standards have impacted their programs. The most common area of improvement noted is the formalization of procedures for recruiting, screening, tracking, retaining and recognizing mentors, as illustrated in the comments below. 'We have improved our training and background checks of mentors and instituted new rules/policies regarding the mentor-mentee relationship." 'Written recruitment plan created, written description of roles and responsibilities of mentor, parent/guardian permission required on application; brief training of mentee; improving evaluation process. " "Increased screening methods of mentors." ·~ parental consent form for youth mentors will be added. " "Decreased youth per mentor ratio." "FBI checks. Minimum time standards." "More mentor/mentee training." Kahle Research Solutions Page 9 �Mentor Michigan Census Wave IV • Some respondents note that they use the Quality Program Standards as a benchmark for the design and operation of their individual programs. "Our organization established a mentoring program four months ago and used the Standards in designing the policies and procedures for current and future mentoring programs to ensure we do deliver an excellent program. " 'The Standards allowed us to hold up our mentoring program against benchmarks in the field that we wanted to make sure we met or exceeded. " "/ tightened up the 'suggestions ' and made them 'rules.' I've added more input from the agency about the mentees so the mentors can work specifically on a goal with the mentee and can judge the effect on the mentee." • A few respondents indicate that Quality Program Standards have had no direct impact on their individual programs. However, even among these responses, one or two note that no changes were needed because they determined that their programs were already in compliance with the Standards. "No real changes made as we follow most all of the standards. " 'We are (already) meeting the standards." Anticipated changes as a result of reviewing the Standards • Survey respondents are able to identify a wide range of anticipated changes to their programs as a result of reviewing the Quality Program Standards. Some of these changes include very specific improvements to existing procedures ("Include diversity and child abuse training in our mentor training," and "criminal background checks"). Other anticipated changes are more broadly defined, and seem to suggest that organizations are using the Standards as benchmarks for ongoing evaluation of their programs, as indicated by the comments below. 'We will implement the policies and procedures we created last year and then revamp them again next year utilizing the Standards as a guide. " 'We are constantly looking for ways to provide quality mentoring relationships between adult mentors and children. This program helps to remind us of the goals we have already set in place." "/ will again be going over the Quality Program Standards to see that I am doing all/ can to make this a valuable program. " "We expect to always meet or exceed the standards and will make program changes to meet this goal." Kahle Research Solutions Page 10 �Mentor Michigan Census Wave IV Suggestions for improving the Standards • Most of the survey respondents note that they do not have suggestions for improving the Quality Program Standards ("No suggestions at this time", "They are awesome!"). Suggestions that are offered are varied, as noted in the comments below. "Great information, but maybe it could be a little shortei. Pick out the five or six most important elements under each topic and make sure those are followed" "I would like to see more mailings and/or emails on what others are doing. " "Again, we would like to see a service established for mentoring groups to be able to obtain appropriate background checks (possibly with fingerprinting) at no cost." "Raise Public Awareness" "Samples of plans, policies, etc. " "Links to resources. " Kahle Research Solutions Page 11 �Mentor Michigan Census Wave IV Mentor Michigan: Satisfaction, Involvement, and Impact Satisfaction • Satisfaction with Mentor Michigan remains high among survey respondents in Wave IV. Eighty.:.six percent of MMC respondents indicate that they are "very" or "somewhat" satisfied with its work, and only 1% is "not at all" satisfied. This compares to Wave Ill , where 87% indicated that they were "very" or "somewhat satisfied", and 5% were "not very satisfied. " Percent Very and Somewhat Satisfied With Mentor Michigan Not at All 1% Wave Ill • Wave IV In qualitative comments, respondents express their satisfaction with Mentor Michigan: "Mentor Michigan has provided our organization with a wealth of information that has improved our program dramatically. We are more aware of how to implement and sustain a quality program and have taken Mentor Michigan's mission to heart. We are very impressed with the organization 's work and appreciate the effort they are putting forth to assist youth throughout the state." "Better awareness of activities on the state level has increased the effectiveness of our program. We are more aware of issues that affect our populations, and can relate our knowledge into our matches." Kahle Research Solutions Page 12 �Mentor Michigan Census Wave IV Involvement • Among organizations indicating they have benefited from Mentor Michigan initiatives, most list training (39%), mentor recruitment (38%), and marketing/awareness building (37%) as being the most beneficial to them. Enhanced linkages (36%) and resource development (34%) follow closely behind. • Twenty-six percent of responding organizations indicate that they have not taken advantage of the listed Mentor Michigan initiatives.

Many respond-ents list major areas where they have benefited, from their involvement in Mentor Michigan. These include Awareness Building, Standards and Best Practices, Training and Capacity Building, and Resources. Some of the resources cited by survey respondents include AmeriCorpsNISTA members; the Mentor Michigan Web site, newsletter, and LISTSERV; and networking with other mentoring organizations. Awareness Building • Survey respondents credit Mentor Michigan with increasing the awareness of both the need for and the existence of mentoring programs throughout the state. They cite examples of increased mentor recruitment, improved visibility and increased funding as results of this improved awareness. "Mentor Michigan has helped increase the size of our staff, the number of youth serviced, the number of mentors involved, and funding for the program. " "Receiving the Governor's Service Award for Innovative Mentoring has increased awareness and funding for our program." "Membership is a visible way of connecting with a state-endorsed program working to provide quality mentorship opportunities to improve the quality of student's lives. " • Several survey respondents cite the involvement of Governor Granholm and First Gentleman Dan Mulhern as key to the successful increase in their program's visibility, inspiration and success. "Governor Granholm and First Gentleman Mulhern (have) been an encouragement and inspiration to me and my program. " 'Well, through Mentor Michigan, we were able to have Dan Mulhern come and speak at our mentor luncheon. That was awesome. " "Enhanced partnership and resource development opportunities through MCSC/Mentor Michigan/First Gentleman." "I have started as Executive Director only a year ago. I'm just getting acquainted with Mentor Michigan, and currently reading the weekly leadership challenges from the first gentleman (are) excellent. " Kahle Research Solutions Page 14 �Mentor Michigan Census Wave IV Standards and Best Practices: • Survey respondents note numerous benefits to adhering to the Quality Program Standards for Youth Mentoring. In addition to the more obvious benefit of ensuring quality mentoring programs to the state's youth , some of these respondeots state that by following the Standards, they have noticed an increased awareness and respect for their programs. "Mentor Michigan has created an awareness of a set of program standards that has allowed us to hold our operations up against and to challenge our program to meet or exceed. As such, this has provided our Governing Board with a sense of confidence in our program as we have met or exceeded each standard. " "By establishing quality program standards for youth mentoring, Mentor Michigan has enabled our group to become better organized. It has allowed us to set realistic goals and to be able to pull files to support the successful results of our mentoring program. This has led to increased community awareness and a renewed respect for our program on a local/eve/". "It has been nice to have a "best programs" approach to take a new look at a mentoring program that is over 15 years old. " 'The Quality standards helped immensely in formulating the program. " 'The quality program standards, which are research-based, have given our organization goals to strive for in enhancing the quality and effectiveness of our program." "Adhering to the Quality Program Standards for Youth Mentoring since the formation of our agencies mentoring programs will ensure that the youth of our county will receive the best mentoring services possible. " "After reviewing the information we were forced to review the program and implement some of the standards that were not previously part of the programming." "It is a great reaffirmation to see that the State of Michigan and our agency are aligned on this topic. n Training and Capacity Building • Survey respondents note that training provided by Mentor Michigan has improved many aspects of their programs, from mentor recruitment, training and retention to providing ideas to strengthen the content. 'We have attended regional trainings which increased networking with other agencies, knowledge." "Yes, Mentor Michigan has been most helpful. The training we received has helped improve our program." Kahle Research Solutions Page 15 �Mentor Michigan Census Wave IV "It is also great to get together with others at trainings and learn what they are doing. We always return with new ideas to add to our program. " "Quality trainings better prepared our staff. " 'The trainings provided are very useful. We are able to use the information in our trainings with our volunteers" "I greatly enjoyed the training session with First Gentleman Mulhern I attended in 2003(?) at Delta College. It was very well organized and feedback-oriented. I also appreciated the fact that it was free at that time." "(Training resulted in) {mprovement in the delive,Y of the program,. improvement in the selection of mentors. " Resources • Mentor Michigan's access to a wide variety of resources benefits mentoring organizations in a number of ways. From providing AmeriCorps and AmeriCorps*VISTA members, to providing an avenue for networking, these survey respondents credit Mentor Michigan for improving their programs in a number of ways. o AmeriCorps and AmeriCorps*VISTA Members: Survey respondents have a great appreciation for the add ition of AmeriCorps and AmeriCorps*VISTA members to their staff, and credit these workers their assistance in writing grant proposals. "MM has helped increase the size of our staff, the number of youth served, the number of mentors involved, and funding for the program. This was the effect of recruitment initiatives, AmeriCorps members, and links to partners." 'With VISTAs we are greatly expanding the mentoring in our area." 'The AmeriCorps member is the biggest benefit." "Provided the organization with AmeriCorps members. " "The opportunity to work with AmeriCorps members to help expand our program. " ''AmeriCorps *V/STA visited our office once and helped us get info on how to write a grant. Very useful." "I have met with Mentor Michigan staff, who then linked me to the Journey program. I attended a Journey training, which helped me immensely. We are now in the process of recruiting a MM AmeriCorps member, which will help further develop our program. " Kahle Research Solutions Page 16 �Mentor Michigan Census Wave IV o Web Site, Newsletter, LISTSERV: Survey respondents cite these various Mentor Michigan services as providing valuable resources to their mentoring organizations. "Mentor Month materials helped recruitment, availability." "Consistent information send out via Web site is helpful!" 'The website is very resourceful. " "Many organizations (serving Youth) have looked at the Mentor Michigan Web site and have contacted us as a result of our listing." "/ also frequently look at the Web site for ideas, and I enjoy the gatherings--like the one coming up in Lansing." "/ really enjoy the Mentor Michigan LISTSERV. I find it very informative and helpful in many situations. It is a great way to get answers to your questions quickly, and hear what others are doing. " o Networking: Contact with other mentoring organizations, and connections to programs and organizations that support and encourage mentoring, is another area where Mentor Michigan fills a need, according to survey respondents. "Networking with other organizations. " 'The continuous contact with mentor organizations by Michigan Mentor, keeps our noses to the grindstone, a needed trait that needs to continue. " 'We benefit from being part of a larger group striving for similar outcomes." "Use of information concerning FBI checks has improved our program" '~sa Providers Council member, I have learned a great deal from my peers and continue to support the Standards initiative and other initiatives of the MMPC".

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 reflected a 67% response rate. Wave II of the MMC, conducted in March of 2005, reflected a similar response rate of 66%. Out of a total of 207 mentoring organizations identified and registered with Mentor Michigan, 136 responded. Of the 105 organizations that responded to Wave I, 96 responded to Wave II. Thus, 40 organi_zations reported for the firs_t time in Wave II. Wave Ill of the MMC was conducted in October of 2005. Out of a total of 237 mentoring organizations identified and registered with Mentor Michigan, 123 responded (51% response rate). Of those 123 that responded in Wave Ill, 7 also responded to Wave I, 13 responded to Wave II and 74 completed both Wave I and Wave II surveys. Thus, 12 organizations reported for the first time in Wave Ill (17 report that they "don't know" about previous survey completions). This report reflects Wave IV of the MMC, conducted in September and October of 2006. Out of the 237 mentoring organizations identified and registered with Mentor Michigan, 137 responded (58% response rate). This is the highest response rate in the history of the MMC. Of those 137 that responded in Wave IV, 63 also responded in Wave I, 67 also responded in Wave II, and 70 also responded in Wave Ill. Thus, 24 organizations reported for the first time in Wave IV (29 report that they "don't know" about previous survey completions). The MCC data were collected via an on-line survey. There were approximately 60 questions in each Wave's survey. Approximately half of these questions are repeated for tracking purposes and the other half specific to each Wave and focused on various items of interest to Mentor Michigan and its key constituents. 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 the first Wave of the MMC, emphasis was placed on understanding the types of organizations that provide mentoring programs. In Wave II, emphasis was placed on understanding barriers to serving more children with mentors, including liability, recruitment and other challenges. Wave II also included a special section addressing use and satisfaction with the services and products produced by Mentor Michigan . Kahle Research Solutions Page 23 �Mentor Michigan Census Wave IV With Wave Ill, emphasis was placed on understanding adherence to the eleven Mentor Michigan Quality Program Standards. In Wave IV, additional sections gathered data on organizations' use of AmeriCorps and VISTA workers, the partnerships they maintain, and the collaboratives they join. 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 peqple) 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.

Wave I of the MMC was conducted in the fall of 2004, Wave II in March of 2005, and Wave Ill in October of 2005. The most recent Wave, Wave IV, was conducted in September and October of 2006. Out of the 237 mentoring organizations identified and registered with Mentor Michigan, 137 responded (58% response rate). Objectives 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. See the web site for reports that address these objectives. This report focuses solely on Wave IV questions regarding mentoring organizations' experiences with AmeriCorps and AmeriCorps*VISTA members. Satisfaction with the members, objectives achieved and suggestions for improvement are all addressed in this report. Other reports generated from this and prior Wave's data can be found on the Mentor Michigan web site (www. michigan.gov/mentormichigan). Kahle Research Solutions Page 2 �Mentor Michigan Census Wave IV AmeriCorps/AmeriCorps*VISTA Summary About AmeriCorps and AmeriCorps*VISTA Members Supporting Mentoring in Michigan AmeriCorps programs provide opportunities for Americans to make an intensive commitment to service. AmeriCorps members help meet critical needs in ~ducation, public safety, health, and the environment. Members tutor and mentor youth, build affordable housing, teach computer skills, clean parks and streams, run after-school programs, or help communities respond to disasters. Michigan's 21 AmeriCorps programs have nearly 1,000 members housed within nonprofit organizations, schools, or other agencies. Full time members serve for at least one year to help meet the goals defined by each program. AmeriCorps*VISTA (Volunteers in Service to America) provides full-time members to nonprofit, faith-based and other community organizations, and public agencies to create and expand programs that bring low-income individuals and communities out of poverty. AmeriCorps*VISTA members leverage human, financial, and material resources to increase the capacity of thousands of low-income areas across the country to address challenges and improve their lives and communities. In Michigan there are 26 AmeriCorps*VISTA programs with more than 180 members. There were 63 AmeriCorps and AmeriCorps*VISTA members working specifically with mentoring organizations in Michigan during the 2005-2006 program year. • • • • Michigan State University Extension Explore, Experience, Achieve through 4-H Mentoring had 19 AmeriCorps members The ConnectMichigan Alliance Mentor Michigan AmeriCorps program had 34 members. The ConnectMichigan Alliance Mentor Michigan AmeriCorps*VISTA program had 10 members. Please note: There are additional AmeriCorps/AmeriCorps*VISTA members working on mentoring in Michigan, through other AmeriCorps/AmeriCorps*VISTA programs.

While some point to very specific areas of success, many describe members who quickly become immersed in all apsects of successfully developing and running mentoring programs. "My VISTA member has only been with the organization less than a month but she has attended introductory meetings; inUiated a recruitment campaign; attended online grant writing; participated in our board meeting. Part of the duties will be to screen, train, and match mentors/mentees." "Our one Mentor Michigan AmeriCorps (member) runs our in-house mentoring program, matching adults and youth of the same gender and same or similar disability. She also coordinates the county-wide mentoring coalition, edits the youth newsletter, and assists with the social/rec/educational events for the rest of our youth program, including leadership trainings for our youth council and coordinating our annual scholarship program." "Our VISTAs do not work specifically on our mentor program (although some do.vQ/unteer as mentors). They work on program development, grant wr;t;ng, computers and technology, community organizing, publications, and our sports/rec program. " "After becoming aware of the Michigan Mentor Standards, our program decided to revamp the mentoring component of the after school program and put our effort into meeting the standards. The AmeriCorps member was essential in that effort. She researched both national and state programs and assisted with developing strong policies and procedures to align with the state standards. Beyond this, we thought outside of the box and began developing some unique partnerships that would attract both mentors and mentees to the program. She was also very involved with helping us with some new fund development strategies that proved successful and brought in over $36,000 in revenue to keep the program going. We have been very pleased with her efforts and are looking forward to phase two of our plan - the implementation of the unique mentoring ventures. " • Crucial support: Several organizations explicitly state that AmeriCorps*VISTA members are crucial to the existence and operation of their mentoring programs. "Without our AmeriCorps* VISTA members, (our organization) could not afford to offer all the programs and services it does." "Our agency would not be able to provide mentoring programs if we did not have the services of an AmeriCorps (member)." "Specifically, we accomplished the following w;th AmeriCorps (members) and would not have otherwise: 1. Established and carried out a one on one adult to youth mentor program in one local school district; 2. Established and carried out a literacy-focused peer mentor program in one local school district; and 3. Developed a survey to compare male/ female mentors. " Kahle Research Solutions Page 8 �Mentor Michigan Census Wave IV AmeriCorps/AmeriCorps*VISTA Summary • Work with mentors: Many survey respondents credit their AmeriCorps*VISTA members with playing a key role in recruiting, training, supporting and recognizing mentors. "AmeriCorps (members) helped recruit, screen, train, mp.tch and supervise mentors. " "Increased the number of mentors involved and increased the diversity of the mentors. This was accomplished through Mentor Michigan Sundays and other outreach events." "Increased the retention of mentors through weekly support and recognition of mentors." "Our AmeriCorps member assisted the mentor coordinator in recruiting and training mentors, planning·and supervising monthly enrichment activities." · · "The MMA member spent time following up with interested potential mentors. In some cases, she even met with them one on one in attempt to recruit them to be a mentor. This process is still in effect. " • Increased youth programs/participation: Creating new youth programs and filling them with youth in need is another major area where mentoring programs make good use of their AmeriCorps/AmeriCorps*VISTA members. "Increased the number of youth involved in the program because of the increased number of mentors, assisting with program activities, and building partnerships with the schools. " "The VISTAs increased school mentoring and began a program in another school. " "It was enlightening to have a young person (AmeriCorps/AmeriCorps *VISTA member) speak to youth close to their age and see the reactions on their faces to know they are not going though certain situations alone. And they can be over-comers like the young mentor. • II Awareness building: Many organizations use their AmeriCorps/AmeriCorps*VISTA members to increase awareness of and support for their mentoring programs within their communities. "The three most important benefits of our VISTA (members) have included their presentations at various local groups and/or organizations; their media coverage; and their on-site support at TRAM activities. All of this work by VISTA (members) has increased community awareness, improved our quality of programs, opened doors to new partnerships, and expanded our overall mentor clientele. II "(AmeriCorps *VISTA members) worked on mentor recruitment and awareness building. They constantly worked on getting our name out to the public. They planned several events for Mentor Month in January, and participated in several of our fundraisers, including Bowl for Kids Sake. II Kahle Research Solutions Page 9 �Mentor Michigan Census Wave IV AmeriCorps/AmeriCorps*VISTA Summary "The VISTAs joined many community committees and helped with many community projects. This raised the awareness of VISTAs and respect for them and their capabilities." "(The)-AmeriCorps (member) established a summer literacy mentoring program (and) ... is in the process of establishing an after school mentoring program. " "The MMA member ... spent time giving presentations and attending events to bring awareness to the community as well as recruit potential mentors. The MMA member also refreshed the look of some resources and tools (brochures, etc.) that are used in recruiting events. " • Coalition/Partnership building is another area where AmeiiCorps/AmeriCorps*VISTA. members have provided significant support to the mentoring programs according to respondents. "The Mentor Michigan AmeriCorps (member) founded and coordinates the county-wide mentoring coalition. "(Our) AmeriCorps (member) formed a mentoring collaboration within the county." "The VISTAs recruited more partners for the Mentoring Coalition." "Developing partnerships with other local businesses and organizations to secure donations and support. " Kahle Research Solutions Page 10 �.: Mentor Michigan Census Wave IV AmeriCorps/AmeriCorps*VISTA Summary Suggestions to Improve the Effectiveness of AmeriCorps/AmeriCorps*VISTA Members • Respondents were asked to list their suggestions for improving the effectiveness of AmeriCorps/AmeriCorps*VISTA members in their organization. While they express a very high level of satisfaction, additional training was the most often made suggestion offered by respondents. Specific suggestions for improvement to the training are addressed in the next section. • In addition to training improvements, respondents also list assistance with locating AmeriCorps members, allowing more diversity in tasks performed by the members and better communication and support for the AmeriCorps/AmeriCorps*VISTA members across the state as desired improvements: · "More assistance with locating potential AmeriCorps (members) would be helpful." "Non-profits are faced with much uncertainty. MMA could possibly allow more diversity in the ta-sks that a MMA member is allowed to assist the assigned-agency with.- ~' .. ··"· . , " ' ., . - ... "Mentor Michigan VISTA and AmeriCorps members did not have a solid communication system that connected members from across the state as in previous years." "Perhaps you could do a better job at staying in contact with the members throughout the year." "The effectiveness of our AmeriCorps (member) could be improved by better support by the Mentor Michigan Program Supervisor." • Many respondents had no suggestions for improvement and reiterated their satisfaction with their AmeriCorps/AmeriCorps*VISTA members. "I think they are doing a great job ... I would not change a thing the help I got was certainly needed and greatly appreciated. I will in the future work with more AmeriCorps (members). " "Do not have any suggestions for improvement at this time. The current AmeriCorps member's effectiveness has been what we hoped for." "We currently have an outstanding crew of VISTAs. Perhaps if I were a better supervisor, they could be even more effective." 'The effectiveness of VISTA members working with our organization has steadily improved under Jan Reed's supervision. I do not have any suggestions at this time." 'They have donated hours of service to various organizations to help with community events. I am talking about time beyond their work week." Kahle Research Solutions Page 11 �Mentor Michigan Census Wave IV AmeriCorps/AmeriCorps*VISTA Summary Suggestions for Additional AmeriCorps/AmeriCorps*VISTA Training • Survey respondents offered many specific training topics for AmeriCorps/AmeriCorps*VISTA members. Each is addressed below. • Training AmeriCorps/AmeriCorps*VISTA members in proper methods of mentor marketing, training, and recruitment is a key area of need for several respondents. "The initial training could have focused more on mentoring, marketing, and recruitment. " "Training on marketing and recruitment techniques should be a mandatory part of all VISTAs' pre-service orientation and training session, regardless of their particular program focus. So much rides on these issues." "How to utilize the media in recruitment." "Recruitment strategies, event planning. " • Site Supervisor Training is another need identified by a couple of respondents to increase the effectiveness of their AmeriCorps/AmeriCorps*VISTA members. "I think having training for site supervisors would be helpful as well. This is the first AmeriCorps (member) I have supervised and I think that I could have used some help in the areas of helping her develop her skills and communication with her. This is not the typical boss, employee relationship. " "Training that would help me train the other site supervisors so they would not be asking the VISTAs to do something that does not fit with mentoring. " • General meeting facilitation and communications are also mentioned by a Gouple of survey respondents. "Improvements would include additional training in how to facilitate meetings/trainings, how to maintain order at meetings/ trainings, office etiquette. " "Training in public speaking" • Individual training tracks that respond to the education , skill levels and experiences of the member, as well as detailed training in grant writing were suggested by individual respondents. "It may be valuable to brainstorm with the organizations hosting AmeriCorps members what type of training could be offered that would most benefit the members' service. Maybe there could be d;tterent tracks based on the skill development needed. Some of the members have college degrees and some have life experiences and are utilizing the experience to explore new avenues. Each of these groups may present different levels of skills, needs, and interests. " Kahle Research Solutions Page 12 �,' Mentor Michigan Census Wave IV AmeriCorps/AmeriCorps*VISTA Summary "Grant writing - not in a general sense, but a full day providing for research, wordsmithing and practical steps to take a grant from beginning to end. It could be valuable to add different elements of these in the various trainings and do them in stages - for example in grant writing, begin with the research elements and how to get started. Have them work on the grant with the help of their program and them bring it back to get further assistance and advice in how to improve the grant. Then have them actually submit the grant.
