Lieutenant Governor Cherry, Speaker DeRoche, Democratic Leader Byrum, Majority Leader Sikkema, Democratic Leader Emerson, members of the State Senate and House of Representatives, members of the judiciary, Secretary of State Land, Attorney General Cox, President Straus, members of the State Board of Education, my phenomenal Cabinet, my friend Frank Kelley, my best friend the First Gentleman Dan Mulhern, and citizens of this great state: Good evening. Will you all , in these chambers, join me in honoring a champion for children and families, a role model for many, who is stepping down from the bench this year, Supreme Court Justice Elizabeth Weaver. Thank you, Justice Weaver. My fellow elected officials, may I ask you to remain on your feet. We are public servants in this hall . We enter mindful that we are not the people's only public servants and that we are far from their greatest. Instead, we are humbled by those who show us that there is no greater love than this: to lay down your life in service to your neighbor. We honor those who take this risk every day- our fire fighters, our police officers and, particularly this year, our men and women in the armed services . With a moment of silence, may we, who are here, and those listening at home, remember those who have shown this greatest love and remember their families with whom we grieve and for whom we pray ... Thank you . I am struck by the way that our feelings for our troops touch what is best in all of us. In our care and concern for our troops and in our love for our country, we are, indeed, One Michigan . And I believe that in much the same way, we share a single, over-riding hope: that every person in Michigan will have the opportunity to build a good life- and we know that the foundation of that good life is a good paying job. So, tonight, I will share with you my plan to reach that goal -a plan to grow jobs today and jobs tomorrow. This is a plan that will put people to work now making Michigan a better place to live and do business. It's a plan that will make Michigan a world center of research and home to the high-wage industries and jobs which that research will generate. And, it's a plan that will make sure the people of Michigan - both children in school and adults in the workforce- have the skills they need to take those jobs and build strong families and live great lives here in Michigan . Before I share with you the details of my plan to address the challenge of our future, we must glance, just for a moment, at the roots of that challenge. For most of the 20th century, we didn't just enjoy economic success in Michigan, we defined it. Our innovators and entrepreneurs created the world's most productive companies, and our unions made sure that productivity led to broad middle class prosperity. We built our great state on the solid foundation of hard work, good jobs, and big ideas. http://www.michigan.gov/printerFriendly/0,1687,7-192--ll 0164--,00.html 2/9/2005 �Michigan: Jobs Today - Jobs Tomorrow Page 2 of9 It will take the same brand of bold th inking to meet the challenge of our times. And, what is that challenge? To solve, in the next few years, a problem more than thirty years in the making . Thirty years in which the economy - both national and global -has been undergoing a technology led transformation, while much of Michigan's economy has not. The first four years of this new century made this contrast painfully clear. We lost more than 170,000 manufacturing jobs in our state, the largest share of the 2 million lost nationwide. While other states were ready to replace those jobs with high-skilled, high- wage jobs in emerging, technology-based industries- Michigan was not. It may be tempting to look back and wring our hands over missed opportunities for change in the preceding decades. But, I'm not interested at looking in the rearview mirror except to learn . Our challenge, today, is to look forward , to find the courage to make the changes our own time demands. So, I ask you tonight to help build Michigan's future with me. Because the choice we face is stark: will we let Michigan's economy languish , or will we work together to create the good jobs our state needs? Will we stand still , or will we move forward? My focus on jobs is not new. Last year, at this podium , I described for you seven roads we had to follow to make Mich igan an economic powerhouse in the 21st century. I said that to achieve that goal , Michigan needs both a robust business climate and a spectacular quality of life, because the job-producing businesses we need in our state demand both . To create that business climate and that quality of life, I said we would undertake 27 specific initiatives to grow our economy. As of tonight, we have checked off 24. I will continue to press the Legislature to finish that list. But, let me share just a thimbleful of what we have accomplished : • I said we would make health care more affordable and accessible. And, we have . For example, the MiRx card we introduced in September is already helping 20,000 families get their prescription drugs for less . • I said we would protect our environment. And, we have. As literally the biggest example, last month , we announced the largest conservation project of its kind in the country that guarantees public access forever- more than 271,000 acres of hunting , fishing and vacation land in our Upper Peninsula . And , we preserved the forestry jobs that go with it. • I said we would find new ways to improve our schools. And, we have in many ways . Here's one: in cities across the state- in Benton Harbor, in Flint, in Detroit, in Grand Rapids - 39 Family Resource Centers provide critical state family and health care services right inside struggling schools to help children learn by making families strong . • I said we would protect our families . And, we have. Across the state, we've conducted massive fugitive felon sweeps that put nearly 950 violent repeat offenders back where they belong behind bars. • I said we would strengthen our cities to keep our young workforce in Michigan . And , we have. From Alpena to Saugatuck, and Kalamazoo to the Soo, 19 Cool Cities projects are revital izing downtowns and neighborhoods. • I said we would make Michigan a more nimble business partner. And, we have, slashing red tape and cutting the waiting time for permits, so that we are now the fastest permitting state in the nation . • I said we would make our tax structure even more competitive. And , we have, by cutting taxes 32 times . In fact, we have by far the lowest business and income tax rates we have had in over three decades . And , it's about to get even more competitive. I said we would make Michigan state government frugal and efficient, and , we have . In fact, Governing magazine has recognized Michigan as one of the best-managed states in the nation -only Utah and Virginia were ahead of us . Do you know what impressed them the most? That we have a clear plan , and we are working it with discipline . And we're already seeing results : http://www.michigan.gov/printerFriendly/O, 1687,7-1 92--11 01 64--,00.html 2/9/2005 �Michigan: Jobs Today- Jobs Tomorrow Page 3 of 9 • Job providers are saying yes to Michigan. Despite the national and international trends that have pushed Michigan's unemployment to unacceptable levels, our direct efforts have helped retain or attract more than 130,000 jobs last year. • Global corporations from as far away as Germany are choosing Michigan to house their North American headquarters, while we're winning the head to head match-up to attract new corporate headquarters from as close as Ohio and Illinois. • We have been listed as one of the nation's top five technology hot spots . • We were designated as top in the nation by the Center for Digital Government as the most tech-friendly state government. • And, this year, 2,400 small businesses opened their doors here in Michigan . They are here for the same reasons we are. Because, Michigan, even with our challenges, is the greatest state in the country. Today, in Michigan , we've developed a clear roadmap, and now we're ready to put the pedal to the metal. Two weeks ago, I proposed the Michigan Jobs and Investment Act, the most sweeping change of Michigan's business tax structure in three decades. The change makes our state more competitive, because it keeps jobs today and attracts jobs for tomorrow. When the act becomes law, three out of four business tax payers will pay significantly less. Over these last two weeks, this business tax cut has been welcomed by companies large and small. It's no wonder, because we have listened carefully to them to make sure this tax reform boosts their investment and their hiring . Michigan businesses and workers need comprehensive reform that pulls jobs here rather than sending them elsewhere, so I urge you to make these changes . But, let me be clear: I will not accept tax legislation that is piecemeal or drives up the deficit. And , I'll say no to legislation that lobbyists load up with gifts and giveaways, special favors for the special interests. Let's work together on this, and let's send a clear message to job producers: Michigan is rolling out the welcome mat for you, and you'll want to stay. Two days from now, I'll introduce a new state budget, and it, too, will reflect our urgent focus on jobs. Like the two budgets that came before it, my budget will protect the things that matter most to our citizens, while finding efficiencies and reducing costs. And, like others before it, we have made tough , tough choices to make ends meet. In the past two years , we have eliminated $3 billion in budget deficits. I have cut more from state spending than any governor before me. I have worked hard to guard your pocketbook as if it were my own , by saving in ways both big and small. We have saved millions of dollars by limiting no-bid contracts . We've hauled furniture out of basement storage for re-use, and I'm still using John Engler's cardboard coasters ...I just turn them over. We're even saving money this year by not printing this speech in fancy book form. And, wouldn 't our moms be shocked and delighted? We have finally learned to turn out the lights when we leave the room. We've cut back on travel, reduced cell phone usage, and God bless our state employees who've agreed to work forty hours a week for thirty-eight hours pay. I know you will join with me in honoring them for doing much more with less. In the coming days, I will present to the Legislature executive orders that will further reduce spending by streamlining state government. We will force state departments and agencies to share services, and we will abolish 70 commissions and boards . I will call on school districts across our state to share services to free up funds for teaching our kids. And, I will ask the Legislature to give me the authority to consolidate districts that refuse to take these kinds of prudent steps to move money out of the bureaucracy and into the classroom. http://www.michigan.gov/printerFriendly/O, 1687,7-192--11 0164--,00.html 2/9/2005 �Michigan: Jobs Today- Jobs Tomorrow Page 4 of9 It is no exaggeration to say that everything that survived in this budget had to answer the question : "How important is this in our effort to promote the highest quality of life, to give our people opportunity, and to attract businesses and good paying jobs?" Let me take a moment to talk about one item in my budget that passed that test- Medicaid. Medicaid is the health plan that buys prescription drugs for Michigan grandparents . It provides checkups for babies and new moms who can't afford insurance, and it pays for treatment for those with mental illness and for those with disabilities. Not just numbers in a budget- these are real people . We have held the increase in per patient costs for Medicaid in Michigan to less than 2 percent. We're more frugal than the federal government and more frugal than private health plans ...and , we'll continue to drive for those efficiencies. But, there are some here in Lansing and in Washington, who believe that the way to balance budgets is to deny basic health care to these, the most vulnerable members of our community. To them , I say, we will all be asked one day, "when you saw me ill , what did you do?" and the answer will not be acceptable that we did not see, or worse, that we chose not to. So, let there be no doubt: I will not cut off health care to the most vulnerable members of our Michigan family . And , I will fight back if Washington tries to rip health care from our most fragile citizens. We will not balance our budget on the backs of those least able to bear that burden . We are a family . Our budget will keep our fiscal house in order and our priorities intact. And , our tax plan will remove big barriers to economic growth and jobs . But, we've got to do more to throw our state's economic engine into high gear. Even though it's true that nearly 93 percent of our workforce in this, the greatest state in America, have jobs, it's also true that our unemployment rate rema ins unacceptably high . Now, we are a resilient people. We have come through periods of economic challenge before- like the gas crisis of the early seventies and the 15 percent unemployment of the early eighties . But, we are also a people who expect candor, and here is the stark reality : the challenge is different now than it was in past times of high unemployment. We will recover again , but not through the traditional solutions of another era. Our situation demands candor with each other about the need for change and the need for aggressive leadership to drive that change. This Jobs Today, Jobs Tomorrow plan takes dead aim at the challenge we now face . 21st Century Jobs Initiative It begins with an unprecedented investment in the future of Michigan -an investment to create 72,000 new jobs by making our state a world-wide center of research and innovation . This year, I will ask Michigan voters to support the 21st Century Jobs Initiative by amending the state Constitution to allow the state to invest $2 billion in bond money to create 21st century jobs- without raising taxes . For years , leaders have said Michigan needs to get serious about diversifying its economy. My 21st Century Jobs Initiative will actually do it. Mind you , we will not have to start from a dead-stop. Mich igan already leads the globe in advanced automotive design and manufacturing technology. We are already home to 85 percent of North America's automotive research . We already provide one of the greatest public community college and university networks in the world . Our research un iversities are world-renowned . And , our Technology Tri-Corridor is funding path-making research in the advanced manufacturing, homeland security and , especially, life sciences sectors . Th is investment in Michigan's future will allow us to transform the state that put the nation on wheels into the state that makes those wheels run on pollution-free fuel cells or bio-diesel technology; the state where the research into alternative energies is done; the state where the clean technology is http://www.michigan.gov/printerFriendly/0,1687,7-1 92--11 0 164--,00.html 2/9/2005 �Michigan: Jobs Today- Jobs Tomorrow Page 5 of 9 developed, and where the clean cars, products, and businesses are built. And, Michigan, the Great Lakes State, could be the state that finally makes these United States independent of foreign oil. • We will build the best laboratories and bring and grow the best scientists and researchers in Michigan. • We'll create new sources of start-up funding to make sure the new businesses and entrepreneurs of tomorrow take root in Michigan today. • We'll give our universities and research and development companies the ability to unlock hundreds of millions of dollars in federal research funds . • And, we'll turn those ground-breaking ideas into world-beating products, spinning off jobs from sales to construction, from engineering to transportation, workers wearing everything from blue collars to lab coats to white collars and suit coats. I am asking the Michigan Legislature to put this 21st Century Jobs Initiative before the voters this fall. Michigan's future cannot wait. Jobs Today Initiative But, people need jobs today, as well. They can't wait either. So, tonight, I am announcing a Jobs Today Initiative that will create 36,000 jobs in the next three years by fast-forwarding $800 million worth of state infrastructure improvement projects, creating new tools to spark city development, and giving school districts a new way to upgrade their buildings without raising taxes. Rather than waiting years to complete this work, this initiative will get these projects moving this construction season. We will speed up the repair of roads and bridges. We'll turn brownfield sites into useful development in our cities. We'll invest to build affordable housing for families and seniors in Grand Rapids, Detroit and cities across our state. We'll modernize schools for our kids and fix deteriorating campus buildings for our college students . All of these projects are two-fers: they will put people to work and make Michigan a better place to live and do business . In the weeks ahead, I will send this Jobs Today Initiative to the Legislature for approval. Last year, I promised we would re-engineer our permit approval process for manufacturing facilities, and, we did . In October, we approved a General Motors plant in Flint in just 21 days ... not 20 weeks or nearly 20 months like before ... 21 days. Why? Jobs were at stake . And, jobs are at stake now. I challenge you, in this Legislature, to move this initiative as if your job depends on it. Also , when it comes to jobs today, I call on you to take action to increase the minimum wage. It is overdue . It has not been adjusted for eight years- back to a time when gas seemed expensive at $1.22 a gallon . It is only fair to our workers- many of whom are supporting families on $5 .15 an hour, below poverty-line wages- to increase the minimum. I applaud those legislators championing this increase . They speak not only for Michigan workers but for the great majority of us who believe in the justice and decency of increasing the minimum wage. Empowering Our Young People and Adults to Compete and Win Good Jobs As we create the jobs of today and the jobs of the future, we must ensure that the people of Michigan -whether they are children in school or adults in the workforce- have the skills those jobs demand . That will require dramatic changes in our schools and the way we think about education . For years, we have told our young people that a high school diploma is enough to get you a perfectly http://www.michigan.gov/printerFriendly/0, 1687,7-192--11 0164--,00.html 2/9/2005 �Michigan: Jobs Today -Jobs Tomorrow Page 6 of9 good job. In fact, that used to be our strength: people flocked to Michigan precisely because you could go right from the high school graduation line to a factory line and get a good job with good benefits . Unfortunately, with globalization and competition, those days are over. Today, all children in Michigan- not many, not most- but a// our children must grow up knowing that their education will not end in high school. Whether it is a four-year college degree, or a two-year associate degree, or other forms of technical training after high school , continued learning will be a requirement for all who seek a good-paying job in this new century. Why do college degrees matter so much? One word: paycheck. If you have any doubt, consider this: our newest auto factory- a partnership among Daimler Chrysler, Mitsubishi , and Hyundai in Dundee- is not hiring a single soul who hasn't gone to college. And those who graduate from college don 't just get jobs, they earn more. If Alex Trebek said to you, 'The answer is, 'just under a million dollars,"' your question would be : "What is the difference in lifetime earnings between a high school and a college grad?" That's right, almost a mill ion dollars. It's not just the individual - the state wins big too . Those states with the highest number of adults with college degrees have the lowest unemployment rates, the highest personal income growth, and the fastest growing economies in this nation. More than any other factor, this one- a highly educated population- drives a state's economy. Ten months ago, I asked Lt. Governor John Cherry to lead a Commission on Higher Education and Economic Growth , because I wanted to double the number of college grads in Michigan . Double. When we reach that goal , we will be the most well-educated state in the country . Thanks to the hard work of the Cherry Commission, we now have a road map to reach that awesome goal. So how do we get there? The Commission made 19 recommendations , but the most important was this : we must expect all high school students in Michigan to earn a college degree or its equivalent by continuing their education for at least two years beyond high school. And we will . The New MERIT Scholarship Tonight, I am announcing a new MERIT scholarship that will ensure that every child in Michigan will have the opportunity to attend at least two years of study beyond high school. We are- in essence- extending the promise of public education in Michigan . Today, parents know that education is available to all from kindergarten through 12th grade. With this new MERIT scholarship, we are extending that promise into the college years . Beginning with the class of 2007 - today's high school sophomores- Michigan will ensure $4,000 for every student who completes two years of college - whether they earn an associate degree from a community college, achieve junior status at a four-year institution , or complete a technical program offcampus. $4,000 . For students who want to enter the workforce with an associate degree, the new MERIT scholarship means the state will essentially pick up the tab for tuition . And , those going on to four year http://www.michigan.gov/printerFriendly/O, 1687,7-192--11 0164--,00.html 2/9/2005 �Michigan: Jobs Today - Jobs Tomorrow Page 7 of9 degrees can use their new MERIT scholarship for their next year's tuition. Either way, Michigan will be the first state in the nation to reward our students for completing two years of college, and we'll be the first to make it unmistakably clear - getting a college degree pays off. The new MERIT scholarship may represent our first step toward college education for all in Michigan , but it will certainly not be our last. In future years, I expect to raise the bar higher for students and provide greater financial support to those who clear it. But, one thing is clear today, the days when we define merit as success in high school are over. Michigan will now define merit the way the economy does- by rewarding those who earn college degrees. If we want more college graduates in Michigan -we'll have to make sure all students leave high school with the skills they need to succeed in college and in life . All students, not just a few, will now need to take a demanding high school curriculum . To support this achievement we will provide financial assistance to school districts that adopt a high-expectations curriculum for all students. At the same time, we will let all students know they've got what it takes for college by replacing our high school assessment exam with one that doubles as a college admissions test. And , we will create new high school opportunities, particularly small high schools, to help the tens of thousands of students who now leave high school without a diploma stay on a path that leads to success in college and beyond We will also create new opportunities this year for our youngest learners- our children in the first five years of life. Too many of these children today fall off the path to success in education long before they enter kindergarten . This year, we will bring new resources to bear on early childhood education and care in Michigan through the creation of the Early Childhood Investment Corporation (ECIC). This unique public/private entity will consolidate state early childhood efforts and tap the resources of the private sector to make sure the hours our children spend in child care are hours spent learning and growing. We have already begun this work by overhauling the child care regulations so that day care centers become places of active learning, not just babysitting . If the MEDC is our job growth agency, the ECIC will be our brain growth agency. Many of Michigan 's leading businesses and foundations have come to see the money we spend on early childhood education as one of the best investments we can make in Michigan's future . By establishing the Early Childhood Investment Corporation, we will boost that investment and make sure it pays off for our state. Credit Amnesty But, we can 't stop with just our youth . Traveling this state, I have met hundreds who have been victims of downsizing, rightsizing , outsourcing, or some other flowery word for being laid off, and they, too, want to get a degree and get a better job to support their families . Many of them - in fact hundreds of thousands of people- already have a start on college. Many would gladly juggle work and family life to go back to school, but they are deterred by a massive bureaucratic barrier- their college credits have expired . This year, we will ask Michigan's colleges and universities to create a credit amnesty- accepting the old credits of those adults who re-enroll within the next three years to finish their degrees. This amnesty will create a window to go back to school to finish up the degree they started years ago- to learn more and earn more, and , in many cases, to model the way for their children . Ml Opportunity Partnership In addition to these efforts to increase college enrollment, we will overhaul our employment training programs to help unemployed workers move into fields most in need of employees. Between now and 2012, it is expected that Michigan will see an increased demand for some 300 ,000 workers with the skills needed to fill jobs in the building trades and in nursing and health care fields . Even today, while thousands of our people are looking for work, nearly 90,000 vacancies already http ://www.michigan.gov/printerFriendly/O, 1687,7-192--110 164--,00.html 2/9/2005 �Michigan: Jobs Today- Jobs Tomorrow Page 8 of9 exist. We actually have hospitals in Michigan recruiting nurses from Canada, while residents in our state are looking for work. We are grateful for those who cross the Ambassador Bridge to do God's work in our hospitals. But, if Michigan's employers can run help-wanted ads in Montreal, surely we can figure out how to prepare our people on Mack Avenue or in Monroe or Munising for those opportunities . To meet this challenge, we will deploy the Ml Opportunity Partnership to conduct immediate, rapidresponse training to quickly and comprehensively train and place out-of-work citizens to fill the openings that employers have today, particularly in health care. We'll combine state and federal resources and tap the tremendous potential of our community colleges. In the year ahead, we expect to match up to 30,000 Michigan residents with jobs that are going waiting today. And, we will keep working to close this skills gap over the next five years . One of the first places our Ml Opportunity Partnership effort will focus is in Detroit where we are beginning a rapid-response training effort with Wayne County Community College and area health systems. Right now, Southeast Michigan is turning to Canada to fill 3,000 positions in the health care industry. Detroit Medical Center has 400 vacancies for nurses, medical technicians , and laboratory staff. Henry Ford has another 500 . These are good jobs . Jobs that we can train qualified people for right here in Michigan . And, most importantly, because there's just no substitute for quality health care close to home- these jobs won't ever be outsourced. I recognize that this State of the State address has been more narrowly focused than the ones usually delivered from this podium. While there is always a temptation for those of us in Lansing to use speeches like this to talk about every initiative and every change we're going to pursue in the coming year, I chose, tonight, to focus on the critical economic challenge before us. But, make no mistakethose critically important issues like health care and public safety and protecting our environment continue to have a key role to play in growing our economy .. .and this administration will continue the good work we've started on every one of them. But, one non-economic subject deserves mention. I'll continue the fight I started as Attorney General to protect our children from the crass cultural currents that threaten to pull them into dark and unwelcome water. The overwhelming majority of Michiganians worry that sex and violence in popular culture is tearing the nation's moral fabric . As a governor and as a mother, I'm one of them . This year, I will initiate proposals to shield our children from the coarse daily assault on their senses from popular media. We can start by passing Senator Hansen Clarke's bill to restrict the sale of mature, ultra-violent video games to children . But, we won't end there. Join with me, and we will send the message that, in Michigan , we are serious about protecting our children . Tonight, I've offered a plan to create jobs today and jobs tomorrow; a plan that will make an unprecedented investment in diversifying Michigan's economic future; a plan that will put thousands of people to work now, making Michigan work better; a plan that trains our citizens for jobs now and jobs in the future; and, a plan that guarantees every child the opportunity to go to college . The cynics will look at this plan and say we can't do it. I argue we must. The naysayers will say we can 't afford to do it. I say, with the changes in our global economy, we can 't afford not to. This will not be easy for any of us. Our teachers- already working hard -will have to do even more to propel every child forward , through high school and beyond . Kids will have to study longer and harder. Parents will have to encourage those kids more than ever and turn off the TV more often. Workers, often juggling two jobs, will have to return to the classroom to learn new skills for new jobs. And , we'll all have to summon courage to accept change, to forego the familiar and forge a better future. Perhaps none will have to change more than those of us who serve in government. We must throw off http://www.michigan.gov/printerFriendly/O, 1687,7-192--11 0164--,00.html 2/9/2005 �Michigan: Jobs Today- Jobs Tomorrow Page 9 of9 the ease and the habit of partisan division and have the courage to stand on common ground . We cannot afford to be divided or to be timid, because, my friends, we are not alone in the bid for new century industry and jobs. Think like a business: we must compete or be left in the dust by other states and countries . We need only look to California where voters have already approved a $3 billion bond to promote biological research . I say we can compete with California just like the Pistons took it to the Lakers, but we have to come to work every day and bring some swagger. So, my colleagues in the Legislature, get to know the person to your right and to your left. Come 2011 , six years from today, neither of the people sitting with you, nor you , nor I, will be able to hold the seats we're in today. Our time is short. So, how will we have left this state? Will we have pretended that Michigan's place in the economy is unchanged and have hidden from the serious work I have proposed tonight? Or, will we courageously take on this incredible opportunity to transform Michigan into the state we know she is and hope she can be? My fellow citizens, is it not true that we share this hope and vision -that every citizen should have the opportunity for a good life, starting with a good job? I have offered you a plan to achieve that hope, and to provide tens of thousands of jobs for people. I am on the side of hope, and I invite you to stand with me. I am on the side of compassion for our most vulnerable, and I invite you to stand with me . I am on the side of faith that our young people can meet higher expectations, and I invite you to stand with me. I am on the side of action, and I invite you to move with me. At the last Cabinet meeting of 2004, General Thomas Cutler, who heads the Michigan National Guard , spoke eloquently of our men and women he had just visited in Iraq. He then presented me with this flag , at the request of a Michigan Guardsman, Captain Todd Fitzpatrick of the 185th Aviation Battalion . Captain Fitzpatrick had flown missions with this flag before him in the cockpit of his CH-47 helicopter. He wanted the Governor to have it as a symbol of thanks- for the love and support of all the people back home in Michigan . So, I place this flag before you . It belongs to you - as a gift . . . and as a symbol. It reminds us that our troops remember us, and, so, we must continue to remember them and their families. This flag reminds us that the threads that unite us are strong, reaching across continents and oceans. Most of all, tonight, this flag reminds us that the courage we must show and the sacrifices we will make are modest, indeed, compared to the courage and sacrifice of the men and women who risk their lives for us and for America. Let us honor them, less with words than with our own deeds of courage, that they may come home to a Michigan further down its road of destiny: a Michigan stronger, prouder, and more vital than the Michigan they left. God bless you all, and God bless Michigan.

GRANHOLM OFFICE OF THE GOVERNOR GOVERNOR LANSING JOHN D. CHERRY, JR. LT. GOVERNOR Governor Jennifer M. Granholm's State of the State 2005 Jobs Today, Jobs Tomorrow Answering Michigan's 21st Century Challenge • Michigan is faced with an historic challenge- ensuring that the promise of a good life and the opportunity of a good job are available to all our citizens in this new century. • Governor Granholm will answer this challenge with an unprecedented investment in the future of our state- Jobs Today, Jobs Tomorrow. • Michigan can move forward or stand still -Governor Granholm is proposing a plan to move Michigan into the future. • Since taking office, the Governor has: o Gotten our state's fiscal house in order- eliminated $3 billion in deficits that she inherited, balancing budgets while protecting Michigan's children and families. o Proposed an economy-stimulating tax cut o Focused on education for all of our people o Improved Michigan's quality oflife- protecting the environment, improving health care and demanding excellence in education. • Jobs Today, Jobs Tomorrow is Governor Granholm's comprehensive plan to secure the future for Michigan families by creating tens of thousands of good paying jobs. • In her State of the State Address, Governor Granholm called on lawmakers to work with her to meet this challenge head-on by moving swiftly and boldly to launch Michigan's economy forward. • It's the right plan for Michigan's future because it will fuel our 21 st Century economy and put tens of thousands to work this year and beyond. �Jobs Today, Jobs Tomorrow • The Jobs Today, Jobs Tomorrow plan will: 1) Invest $2 billion in creating 72,000 new economy jobs and establishing Michigan as a global center of research in new technology and emerging industries. 2) Create 36,000 jobs over three years and make Michigan a better place to live and do business by accelerating $800 million in state bonds and encouraging local and private investment in critical infrastructure projects. 3) Invest in our people by giving children in school and adults in the workforce the education and skills they need to fill both jobs of today and jobs of the future. Jobs Today, Jobs Tomorrow- Key Components • To create jobs of the future, Governor Granholm announced a 21st Century Jobs Initiative to launch Michigan forward as the nation's epicenter of alternative energy research, a leader in the biotech industry and a hotbed for homeland security R&D. o The Initiative calls for a $2 billion investment over the next decade to grow Michigan's economy by increasing the amount of innovation and the pace of commercialization in our universities, corporations and non-profit research institutions. o This plan will create 72,000 high-paying jobs over the next decade. Governor Granholm will ask the Legislature to put her proposal before voters in November. o This Initiative builds on Michigan's automotive strengths and diversifies our economy, allowing us to attract more advanced automotive research and design and more alternative energy research. o Today, Michigan is the state that builds the most technologically advanced, massproduced product in the world- the car. Tomorrow, we'll be the state that does the research that ends this country's reliance on foreign oil, secures our homeland and invents life-saving drugs and medical innovations. 2 �• The Jobs Today Initiative is Governor Granholm's proposal to create thousands of jobs by speeding up state and local construction and infrastructure improvement projects that were scheduled to begin in the years ahead. o Accelerating these projects will create nearly 36,000 jobs over the next three years - putting people to work and making Michigan work better at the same time. • o Examples of these projects include repairing roads, modernizing schools, cleaning industrial sites and renovating downtowns. o Improving our roads, schools and green spaces not only creates jobs -these projects attract potential job providers and improve our quality of life, as well. o Governor Granholm will begin these projects this construction season, putting thousands to work in 2005. o The Initiative largely targets projects that have already been approved and already have a funding source to complete them- Governor Granholm will simply get them started and finished sooner. Recognizing that higher education is the key to economic success in the 21 51 Century, Governor Granholm called for a new MERIT Scholarship that will build Michigan's future workforce by rewarding success in post-secondary education. o Beginning with the high school class of2007, all Michigan students will receive a $4,000 scholarship when they successfully obtain an associate degree, its equivalent or earn junior status at a Michigan college. For students who receive Pell grants, the new MERIT Scholarship will make up the difference between their federal grant and $4,000. o The new MERIT Scholarship recognizes that higher education, not a high school diploma, is the new educational standard in Michigan. o The new MERIT Scholarship is roughly equal to two years of in-district tuition at a Michigan community college and will replace out the existing $2,500 scholarship for the class of2007 and beyond. o This scholarship guarantees that every child in Michigan will have the opportunity to continue his or her education for at least two years beyond high school. It will extend college and scholarship opportunities to more students. o The scholarship rewards students for academic success and for success in gaining the skills and knowledge that job-providers require. 3 �• Governor Granholm's MI Opportunity Partnership is a new mechanism to cut unemployment by rapidly filling the state's critical labor shortage in health care and the skilled trades. o Roughly 90,000 job vacancies exist in Michigan today- and these openings represent a tremendous opportunity for unemployed workers. o This new Partnership would match 30,000 citizens who are looking for a job with the training needed to step into these openings this year. o The Governor will use existing Regional Skills Alliances to link job providers with unemployed citizens. 4 � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

"I am seeing things everyday that I never would ha,·e seen had I not joined." It is a place where you learn, as one member put it," ... that success is measured by those you touch and reach through service." This seemingly simple concept of service is the foundation upon which City Year Detroit builds a culture where the idealism of young people is encouraged and celebrated everyday. Designed as a model national service program, City Year unites idealistic young adults, ages 17-24, from diverse ethnic, socio-economic, racial, sexual orientation and educational backgrounds, for an academic year of full-time community service, leadership development and civic engagement. City Year Detroit corps members serve in elementary and middle schools in the metro Detroit area , where they provide tutoring, mentoring, powerful after-school programs, and transformative community service initiatives. Corps Member Stacy Balsley gives an account of her experience through the program: "Coming from a small community of two stoplights and a grocery store not open on Sundays, I didn 't know a lot about life in a city the size of Detroit. I knew I wanted to make a differ- ence in the lives of others, but I wasn't quite sure how to even begin. After college graduation, I discovered that City Year could provide the open door to make this difference possible. I am seeing things everyday that I never would have seen had I not joined. Negative stereotypes about both Detroit and the people who live here were broken down in front of my very eyes as I tore down an abandoned house with fellow corps members. I don't think there would be any way to put the City Year experience into words befitting what it does personally for each corps member. Each member came here to give back to the community of Detroit in their own way. Yet, each one of us is getting so much more out of it. What we give to the community of Detroit is incredible and moving, but what we get personally out of this experience is both indescribable and immeasurable. " ~Stacy L. Balsley, Bremen, Indiana ~ City Year Detroit is always looking for more young adults who are ready to step up and answer the call! You can gain more information at www.cityyear.org or call directly 313- 874- 6825 City Year Detroit members prepare for a service project with Greening of Detroit Superior AmeriCorps Makes a Difference The Superior AmeriCorps program celebrated Make a Difference Day on October 22, 2004 by giving Baraga School's forest trail in Pelkie, Michigan an extreme clean makeover. Due to infrequent use of the trail it had become badly overgrown to the point where the difference between weeds and nature's beauty was indistinguishable. As Superior AmeriCorps members took the time to clear the trail and spread fresh wood chips, they realized that if the trail was more informative it would be used more by the community. The program partnered with Baraga High School's wood shop students to make signs point- ing out different types of plant species. With the help of many community volunteers the signs were painted and pictures were added, and placed on metal posts to be installed along the trail. This all took place despite a day of rainy weather! The work was enjoyable, especially knowing that we were making a difference. Even after their service project was complete a high school student continued to improve the trail by creating an interpretive booklet that gives detailed information about the species along the trail. In a day's service a lasting difference was truly made. �MICHIGAN Member Newsletter Staff Loreal Taylor-Burns, Communities in Schools Detroit: Editor COMMUNITY Nicole Oman, Volunteer Muskegon's AmeriCorps: Layout and Design SERVICE Contributors Getting~ Dorr For Am:rica COMMISSION Christy Roman, Michigan Groundwater Stewardship Program Michigan Community Service Commission Jeffrey Taylor, Explore, Experience, Achieve Through 4-H Mentoring Annie Van Genderen, Michigan Habitat's AmeriCorps Program Daniel G.

Neighborhood Youth Development Members serve studetns in the Grand Rapids Public Schools, through Camp Fire USA. They run after school programs, reading and mentoring programs, and teach the Self Reliance curriculums in classrooms. One AmeriCorps Member has even taken great time and energy to help the students at Burton Middle School create their very own school newspaper. She has even hired a "super staff' among the students to make sure that responsibilities are taken care of and things are run smoothly. This gives students a creative edge and a sense of leadership and commitment . Another member, at Brookside elementary, spent months planning, writing scripts, and designing the set for a Christmas play. It was called "Christmas Around the World", and the students acted out scenes demonstrating how different countries around the world celebrate Christmas. A fmal example of "getting things done" in our programs is a music class held at Brookside Elementary. Brett Bielski, a very talented and congenial musician, takes the time to instruct the children in many aspects of music. He facilitates a program to inspire creativity and teamwork amongst the students. He records musical ideas (originated by the students) and builds on these ideas with the students' input. The end result of this work will be a CD recorded and produced by the students of Brookside Elementary; a superb example of students working together creatively towards a common goal. With enthusiasm and dedication to the students we serve, we are striving to produce great results. Even if we can only reach a couple of children, it is a couple more than before. These children are OUR future, and we help them to realize this by giving them the confidence needed to pursue any dreams that they have . Most importantly everything takes place in a safe and structured environment. Together, without a doubt, we are accomplishing the tasks so many others choose to ignore. By doing this we are "getting things done" ! � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

She then explained that the Commission needs to develop an identity so that organizations know what the MCSC does. There are three different marketing plans: a MCSC Marketing Plan, a Mentor Michigan Marketing Plan, and a GSA Marketing Plan. Mary Grill went through the MCSC Marketing Plan and explained that it is a one year marketing plan that will be overseen by the PR Committee and is designed to be implemented by the MCSC staffwith involvement of the MCSC Commissioners. Commissioner Young-Welch shared that there is a need to take a look at what kind of messages are coming out of the MCSC 2 �activities. The PR Committee would like to produce a brochure about the messages and programs of the Commission. Chairperson Mulhern asked the Commissioners if they were comfortable with the role they will be playing. Several Commissioners answered that they were happy to play a leadership and organizing role as Commissioners and to also promote the Commission. Chairman Mulhern shared that the big role is to get the message out. Mary Grill discussed the Mentor Michigan ap.d Governor's Service Awards Marketing Plans, distributed at the meeting. Both are a one-year strategy that will also be overseen by the PR Committee and will be implemented by the MCSC staff and Commissioners. Mary Grill invited the Commissioners to complete the Mentor Michigan Commitment Form for National Mentoring Month. A tool kit will be provided to the Commissioners to help them with their emails, letters, etc., during National Mentor Month. Mary Grill explained the Governor's Service Awards Marketing Plan. The main goals are to increase the number of GSA nominations to 225 and to increase the number of dinner participants. Commissioner Mawby stated that in terms of collaboration and getting diversity and geographic participation, the Volunteer Centers, Community Foundations and Campus Compacts should be collaborators to help get good participation. C. Fund Development Committee - Commissioner Pickard explained that the Fund Development Committee began working in September to solicit corporations for funds for the Governor's Service Awards. The MCSC will partner with the Carter Partnership Awards which will mean higher stakes to reach. The Committee will meet immediately after the December board meeting to develop a strategy to raise the funds . IV. Executive Directors Report - Janet Lawson Janet Lawson shared that the MCSC staff has been busy with several different trainings, meetings, and other events throughout the months of October, November and December and outlined them in a chart in the Executive Director's Report. A. Mentor Michigan - Paula Kaiser explained that three regional Mentor Michigan meetings were held (Mackinac City, Grand Rapids and Detroit area) and over 275 people participated in the meetings. The meetings were held to give an update of what Mentor Michigan has accomplished in the past year. Mr. Mulhern participated in the meetings and gave the Mentor Michigan update. Bob Kahle provided results from the Mentor Michigan census so folks could see what mentoring is beginning to look 3 �like in the state. Professional development training and technical assistance were offered in the second part of the meeting. There was a great response to the meetings and the MCSC will continue to hold these type of meetings. Ms. Kaiser announced that the MCSC will be receiving a 3-year grant from the Hudson Webber Foundation for $300,000 ($125,00 the first year, $100,000 the second year, and $75,000 the third year). The grant will focus on mentoring in southeast Michigan because that is their catchment area. It will also be used to strategically accomplish some broader Mentor Michigan goals. A copy of the Hudson Webber deliverables and the proposal that was submitted were included in the Commissioner meeting packets. The focus will be on recruitment in the metropolitan Detroit area and furthering the development of the Metro Detroit Mentoring Collaborative. 1anet Lawson passed out a draft list of names for the Mentor Michigan Leadership C_ouncil and asked the Commissioners to take a look at the list and make suggestions for additional council members. This group will meet once to kickoff the council and then will be asked to be spokespersons in their communities. A list of Mentor Michigan Leadership Council participation criteria will be developed. B. Governor's Service Awards/Carter Partnership Awards - Mary Grill explained that this year the MCSC is working with the Michigan Campus Compact to combine the Governor's Service Awards with the Carter Partnership A wards which includes the event and the fundraising. The event will include the Governor and First Gentleman and also Roslyn Carter. C. ArneriCorps/Volunteer Investment Grants/Mentor Michigan - Janet Lawson explained that the MCSC is looking at funding support for ArneriCorps, Mentor Michigan and Volunteer Investment Grants. Two areas that the MCSC would like to address with funding is how to impact our communities and build the capacity of our communities. Regarding agencies the MCSC works with (Volunteer Centers and Mentoring programs), how do we close the gap between the recruitment and the placement of volunteers- particularly mentors. We have three goals for these projects: 1. Create community impact and build organizational capacity in all three pro gram areas ; 2. To close the gap in the recruitment and placement of volunteers, specifically mentors; 3. To implement the Mentor Michigan Marketing Plan. 4 �The MCSC would like to build the organizational capacity ofmentoring agencies with minimal yearly budgets by placing 40-50 AmeriCorps members into those agencies. The members would be "housed" within the ConnectMichigan Alliance. The MCSC will be receiving $250,000 for Volunteer Investment Grants and would like to use the funding to assist in closing the gaps in recruitment and placement of volunteers, specifically mentors. The MCSC will do this in three steps: 1. Convene the Volunteer Centers ofMichigan leadership to have them define where the gap is in the placement of volunteers. 2. To identify the top two or three capacity issues with measurable objectives. 3. To design a competitive bid process around those issues with the understanding that the identification of the issue might say that the biggest issue we have is around 1-800-Volunteer. Is it used well, do we need to develop and promote it, or will it be better to have the VJG go to the Volunteer Centers ofMichigan so that we can develop the 1-800-Volunteer statewide rather than to break it up into small local amounts. The fmal piece of the Volunteer Investment Grant would be to place $50,000 of the VIG into a staff person for Mentor Michigan for one year to work through the Mentor Michigan Marketing Plan and the goals the MCSC would like to accomplish this year. Kyle Caldwell gave a brief summary ofthe history of Volunteer Investment Grants. There is currently over $4.5 million in endowed funding for volunteer centers. Paula Kaiser explained the federal budget for national service. The MCSC will have about a 1% decrease in AmeriCorps funding. There will not be funding available for new programs because of commitments to current programs for renewals. It doesn ' t make sense for the MCSC, with a limited amount of resources, to hold a statewide competitive bid process to fund one program. It would be better for the MCSC to strategically recruit a very specific mentoring program that can help build the capacities of these small budgeted organizations. There may also be a very limited amount of dollars available in competitive funding that the MCSC will try to leverage with a statewide mentoring program. If the MCSC can't leverage those competitive dollars we will be able to use what little formula dollars we have to fund it. Commissioner Collier made a motion to move forward with the plan for the Volunteer Investment Grants to connect them with AmeriCorps, the Volunteer Centers and Mentor Michigan. There was discussion on the 5 �plan. The plan would use $50,000 of the Volunteer Investment Grant for staffing for Mentor Michigan and $200,000 to volunteer centers either at the statewide level or locally. This will be paired with funding allowing 40-50 AmeriCorps members through ConnectMichigan Alliance. Commissioner Smith seconded the motion. The motion passed unanimously. V. D. Service-Learning United - Kyle Caldwell gave a brief overview of Service-Learning United and funding and rule making process around service-learning. He explained that there is a letter to David Eisner in the Commissioners meeting packet that outlines the goals of the organization. E. Citizen Corps- Janet Lawson gave an update on Citizen Corps. The Citizen Corps Council met last Monday where some hurricane volunteers spoke. She also shared that the two legislative bills (HB 5416 and HB 6032) that related to Citizen Corps have both died in the legislature. Gary Zulinski gave an update on a school CERT program administered through Eastern Michigan University at Milan High School where the students will receive college credit. The Arab CERT translation program is also moving forward. F. MERIT A wards - Janet Lawson and Angelia Salas gave an update on meetings that took place recently regarding the MERIT awards and shared that progress is being made on educating the schools on service. G. Financial Report- Garry Gross gave an overview of the MCSC Financial Report and outlined the administrative funding cut. There was discussion on accepting private funding . Chairperson Mulhern thought that this would be a good topic for discussion at an upcoming meeting or board retreat. Review ofMCSC Program Goals The MCSC staff presented the program area goals (see attached goals document). Commissioners requested talking points about the different program areas. Paula explained that there are one-page program descriptions in the Commissioner Key Information Binders. They also suggested that they should be tailored towards specific audiences (college, youth, etc.). Chairperson Mulhern suggested that we could address that at an upcoming meeting. He also suggested that the talking points could have one or two questions to engage people. An example would be around how people feel about using public funds to leverage volunteer support and what they think we have to do to establish that. V. Public Comment 6 �Commissioner Collier recognized Mary Pfeiler for all of her contributions to the Commission on behalf of the Corporation for National and Community Service. Mary is retiring in January 2005. VII. Adjourn- Chairperson Mulhern Chairperson Mulhern asked for a motion to adjourn. The meeting was adjourned at 4:09pm. 7 � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Welcome and Introduction- Chairperson Mulhern The meeting was called to order at 12:08 p.m. by Chairperson Mulhern and he welcomed everyone to the meeting. Mary Zatina introduced Natalie Copeland who is a Dearborn Heights High School student and is shadowing Mary Zatina this week. Martha Bottomley and Sara Ballard introduced themselves to the Commissioners. Janet Lawson explained that February is Black History Month and played a speech by Lani Guinier on the needs of a national conversation on race. Ms. Lawson shared that January was National Mentoring Month and that we had a great month with several media interviews by Chairman Dan Mulher. The Mentoring Month PSA's, one with the Governor and First Gentleman and the other with Dennis Archer, were also viewed. II. Review and Approval of December 13, 2004 Minutes - Chairperson Mulhern Chairperson Mulhern asked for a motion to approve the minutes from the December 13, 2004 board meeting. Commissioner Parker moved to approve the minutes, Commissioner Mawby seconded the motion. The motion passed unanimously. III. Standing Committee Reports A. Fund Development Committee - Mary Grill gave a brief update on the fundraising for the Governor's Service Awards/Carter Partnership Award. The goal is $335,000, which is a joint goal ofthe MCSC Fundraising Committee and the Carter Partnership Awards Host Committee. B. Learn and Serve Ad-hoc Committee - Commissioner Pardoe explained that the Learn and Serve Ad-hoc Committee met today prior to the Commissioner meeting. She explained that the service-learning funding is being cut. A group similar to the Save AmeriCorps Coalition has formed, called Service Learning United, and is trying to help to get funding back to previous levels. The Committee also discussed that if service-learning is going to be an important part of the Commission, there needs to be a plan to sustain it. The funding is based fully on federal funding so there needs to be a way in the future to find another way to sustain it. The Committee feels that service- 2 �learning is an important piece to helping young people understand what it is to volunteer and also learn while they're doing it. They recommend bringing in someone to speak at the next Commission meeting on service-learning to give Commissioners an understanding on what it really is. The Committee will also be putting a plan together to move the Commission forward on sustaining service-1 earning. Ms. Lawson explained that after going through a series of these conversations, whether it's marketing, service-learning, or fund development, the MCSC needs to put together a plan and a budget for funding the actual work of the Commission. The AmeriCorps, Service-Learning, etc. staff live offthe residue of what we can keep from federal grants to administer the MCSC and it isn't working. We need to go to our state legislators to make a case, put together a budget and get their input on a budget. If service-learning is going to be a solution to education or if mentoring is going to be a solution to gangs, teen pregnancy, substance abuse, etc., then it's time to show ourselves this solution and make a case for a budget that is going to fund the work that needs to be done. It is difficult if the legislators don't know face-to-face who the MCSC is and the work we do, and we need to be loud about it to tell them this is what it's going to take to be the solution on these initiative areas. It's not a matter that the State doesn't have the money- the State has the problem. The Governor has indicated where her initiative areas are and what needs to be solved and implemented and the Commission is the solution to that. Chairman Mulhern stated that this is a great discussion of where we add value on a state level. He stated that there will be a new superintendent for the Department of Education and there may be new energy for service-learning. Kyle Caldwell explained a handout Commissioners received regarding Service Learning United. The discussion that the MCSC is having at the state level is the same conversation taking place at the national level. The federal resources are shrinking while the demand and the programming needs and the theme of service-learning are growing. These organizations that are a part of this Serving-Learning network, including State Commissions, State Department of Education organizations, higher education and nonprofits, have all said that they need to effectively define what service~ learning means and then go after a broad funding base in order to support it and find champions to help. Service-Learning United is one of those champions. It is a coalition of different organizations, including the ConnectMichigan Alliance, who are leading the country in trying to really focus on two fundamental areas. The first is to ensure that the Corporation for National and Community Service funding remains and grows. Right now the Corporation's budget for Learn and Serve has decreased but it is still in the budget. The second is to focus on what the regulations are that will affect service-learning and Learn and Serve funding specifically. As was discussed at the last Commission meeting, the Corporation is looking at the rulemaking process for Learn and Serve. Each 3 �of these networks is getting organized to build support for what they should be and how they should be even beyond the federal funding. There is a letter in the packet that is being supported by the National Community Service Caucus, which is a group ofHouse members that have gotten together to say they believe in service-learning. Their letter to the Corporation is about the funding as well as support for regulation that helps support local organizations. There are organizations joining together to unite and talking about the same conversation that the MCSC is having today- how do you fund and support national community service with and beyond federal dollars? The MCSC is a part of this network. What will be important to monitor in the future is how what we think is important gets filtered up to the national level. Mr. Caldwell mentioned that there is a Michigan member, Congressman Thaddeus McCotter, that is a member of the National Community Service Caucus and encouraged Commissioners to introduce themselves as a member of the Commission and say that you have knowledge of this activity and are a steward of service-learning in Michigan and support his work with the caucus. Chairman Mulhern mentioned that it would be nice to have Congressman McCotter join us at a meeting or event. Mr. Caldwell also mentioned that he has a former AmeriCorps VISTA member in his office that is extremely excited to make connections with us. Cong. McCotter's office asked what kind of national service is taking place in his district. There is not much going on in his district so the MCSC will need to highlight what he may think is important. Chairman Mulhern requested that at the next board meeting the Commission discuss the relationship between the State Board of Education and the MCSC and how we work together, the education apparatus of community service. The MCSC should look at other states to see how that interface works, where do we add value and what do we bring that the education community doesn't. Should we focus on the nonprofit side and help them to interface with schools or should the focus be on the education side and developing curriculum. IV. Commissioner Involvement I State of the State Bullet points from the Governor' s State of the State Address were handed out to Commissioners and the Commissioners discussed the areas that pertained to the MCSC including the MERIT Scholarship and the 40 hours of volunteer service hours that will be required. This is a great opportunity to engage the students in service and civic engagement. Some ofthe areas that Commissioners mentioned that the MCSC could focus on were: developing a mentoring relationship to mentor college students most likely to drop-out (freshman); develop a program for professionals (over 55 and retirees) to mentor young students/entrepreneurs to keep them in Michigan; tie in volunteering to community impact priorities and research (ex: homelessness); retain the mentors/prevent mentor burnout; make mentoring the norm. It was suggested that there should be a conversation 4 �between Commissioners (Wendy, Bernard, etc.) for other type of mentoring (ex. 30 year olds with seniors) so that people are not turned off to mentoring if it only relates to children. Kari Pardoe is working with the YAC (Youth Advisory Council) members to work more closely with Mentor Michigan. The members could mentor seniors on using computers, etc. Ms. Kaiser mentioned that one area that could offer financial support to students that may not be able to go to college is the Presidential Scholarships which is $1000 ($500 with a $500 match) that they can qualify for by completing 100 hours of service. Ms. Kaiser will work on getting a list of schools that participate. The other area to offer fmancial support is the AmeriCorps program with either the traditional program or the Education Only program. Kyle Caldwell stated that each one ofthe Governor's initiatives has both a leveraging point for service as well as an illustration point. Either that service is part of the front end (MERIT awards) in order to get the benefit, or during the benefit that service becomes a component. So you're using, as an underlying component, service as a strategy. V. Updates on Progress and Challenges A. Mentor Michigan - Mary Grill gave an update on Mentoring Month. All of the goals that were set for the month were met! It was a very successful month. PSA's were sent out to all the major media markets. They do not specifically mention Mentoring Month so it was suggested that the PSA's could be sent to the GSA sponsors or other corporations to play throughout the month of 1anuary or throughout the year on their internal communications systems. Kyle Caldwell shared information on a joint press conference announcing a public/private initiative called the Women's Leadership Initiative. This is a new program through the United Way that will recruit women and young girls in six Michigan cities to engage more women in service and philanthropy. 1arret Lawson also spoke at the press conference to share information on the MCSC and the importance of service. Paula Kaiser explained that the Mentor Michigan Provider Council met recently. They have organized themselves around a few key areas. They felt it was important for Michigan to develop specific mentoring standards which will be modeled after the national elements of effective practices. They have established several committees that will focus on training and support for the field of mentoring, evaluation work, marketing and public relations, and collaboration. They meet on a quarterly basis. 5 �B. AmeriCorps - Paula Kaiser explained the background on the Michigan's AmeriCorps Competitive Renewal Application and that all seven of the currently funded competitive programs are eligible for renewal funding. Staff recommends renewal funding at the recommended amount of: BHK Child Development at $673,318, City Year Detroit at $695,230, Good Samaritan Ministries at $130,126, MARESA at $201 ,490, Michigan Department of Agriculture at $228,873, MSU Extension at $252,105, the Regents ofthe University ofMichigan at $302,934 for a total of $2,484,076. Commissioner Meg Smith made a motion to approve the renew funding, Commissioner Jerry Seese seconded the motion. The motion passed unanimously. Andy Younger explained that the AmeriCorps Member Council met recently. Each AmeriCorps program has a representative on the council. The overall goal of the council is to provide a greater understanding for the different AmeriCorps programs. This gives them an opportunity to network with other AmeriCorps programs and to develop their leadership skills. C. Volunteer Investment Grants - Paula Kaiser explained that the MCSC met with the leadership ofthe Volunteer Centers ofMichigan to discuss the 2005 Volunteer Investment Grants (VIG). Through these discussions it was proposed that $200,000 would go to the Volunteer Centers of Michigan to focus on a couple of key project areas, rather than to grant the money out to local volunteers centers. If the MCSC were to grant this money out to the local centers, the amount of the grants would not be enough to leverage any significant impact. The Volunteer Centers of Michigan will develop a statewide tracking and evaluation system that helps them talk about their value and what they are accomplishing. They will be working with Bob Kahle to develop this tracking system. There are also funds in the proposal to help the volunteer centers obtain the technology they need to have a web presence. Martha Bottomley explained that Volunteer Centers are excited to move forward with these proposals. Commissioner Newport made a motion to approve the Volunteer Investment Grants funding of $200,000 to the Volunteer Centers of Michigan. Commissioner Seese seconded the motion. The motion passed unanimously. D. Learn and Serve- Angelia Salas gave a brief overview ofthe ServiceLearning Institute that will take place next week in Adrian and invited Commissioners to attend. 6 �V. E. Governor's Service Awards- Mary Grill gave an update on the Governor's Service Awards. The event will take place on June 18, 2005, at the Dearborn Hyatt Regency. Commissioners have received packets with nomination forms for the awards and should consider nominating someone. F. Financial Report - Garry Gross gave an overview of the MCSC Financial Report. New Business A. Diversity Presentation - Al Flores, from the Michigan Department of Civil Rights, gave a presentation on cultural diversity. B. ConnectMichigan Alliance/National Service Update - Kyle Caldwell summarized the federal budget and how it affects funding for the Corporation for National and Community Service (CNCS). AmeriCorps and Learn and Serve funding was decreased. Homeland Security and Mentoring budget areas were increased. Mr. Caldwell stated that it will be important for state commissions to stress to their legislators that this budget item is important because it will be going against programs that were zeroed out (vocational education, higher education, child welfare programs). The MCSC should use its contacts in the National Service Caucus (Rep. Thaddeus McCotter is on that caucus). Representatives Kilpatrick and Knollenberg are also on appropriations and also Senators Levin and Stabenow support national service. There is $22.5 million dollars at stake for Michigan in AmeriCorps, Learn and Serve and Senior Corps funding. C. Super Bowl XL - Chairman Mulhern explained that he has had conversations with the Super Bowl XL Host Committee and will be working with them on promoting Mentor Michigan. It will be used as an opportunity to get corporate support on both the financial side and the mentoring side. The volunteer recruitment will be a huge undertaking as Michigan will need to recruit 10,000 volunteers. The commissioners broke up into four groups to discuss four areas: Lead or support; Is this consistent with our goals and mission?; What would success look like?; and Risks/pitfalls. VI. Public Comment There was no public comment. VII. Adjourn Commissioner Collier asked for a motion to adjourn. Commissioner Smith made a motion to adjourn, Commissioner Young-Welch seconded the motion. The meeting was adjourned at 3:50pm. 7 � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

The National Service Congressional Caucus is founded in the recognition that the desire of Americans to serve their community and country has increased dramatically in recent years, and that Congress has the ability to enable more Americans to do so. The four Congressmen are committed to moving national service forward as part of the nation' s domestic agenda by broadening and deepening existing bipartisan support on Capitol Hill for AmeriCorps, Learn and Serve America and the Senior Corps. Through these service initiatives, citizens of all ages work to improve their communities and country. Each Congressman was introduced by an individual who served in his district, and each congressman spoke of his belief in the power of service to change lives and communities. Congressman Shays spoke of his own personal experience in the past and his vision for service moving forward: "As a former Peace Corps volunteer and a fiscal conservative, I believe that national service is one of the wisest investments our government can make. It benefits the recipients and the givers. Volunteers not only address an immediate need, they lead and teach through example, and through that example they learn the value of serving and helping others. In 1993, I was thrilled to be a co-author of the National Community Trust Act, which created the Corporation for National Service. Last year, I was happy to help Save AmeriCorps raise federal funding to historic levels and now I am grateful to be a part of the National Service Caucus, which will help mobilize Congressional support for national service. I look forward to continued work on behalf ofvolunteerism in America." For Congressman Price, the connection between national service and patriotism is clear: "In this post 9-11 world, Americans are looking ahead with a renewed sense of patriotism and an appreciation for community service. I hope this caucus can tap into that spirit by advocating for more opportunities for Americans to give back to their neighborhoods, bringing together those who need help with those who are willing to lend a hand." -more- �Page 2 of2 National Service Congressional Caucus Kick-off Congressman Osborne expressed his support for service by recognizing the range of ways in which it enriches a community: tutoring and mentoring children, building affordable housing, creating playgrounds and parks, teaching in underserved schools, building trails, caring for elderly and homebound neighbors, providing critical services to low-income citizens and supporting homeland security programs. "Today, through national service programs such as AmeriCorps and VISTA as well as local service programs, Americans are displaying great leadership by devoting their talents, skills, and expertise to helping their fellow neighbors. As a result, thousands of children, schools, seniors, and communities across our country rely on the services provided by national service programs. It is our duty in Congress, to support these programs and ensure that the necessary resources are available so that national service programs can continue to grow and thrive." When Congressman Ford looks to the future of national service in America, he is also seeing the future of America. "Programs designed to encourage young people to take active roles in national service breed the leaders of tomorrow. By becoming civically active at a young age, the future leaders of America are able to not only gain the skills necessary for effective leadership, but also develop a deep appreciation for the tenets of democracy and freedom. We, as lawmakers, need to do everything possible to encourage young adults to respond to the call to service." The SaveAmeriCorps Coalition welcomed the support for this commitment to government' s active and passionate role in helping more Americans serve. #-#-# �((ongrt~~ of tbt ltnittb ~tatt~ lltubington. 1)€ 20515 September 14. 2004 Join the National Service Congressional Caucus!

We hope that you have time to listen to the address. When listening, please note not only the great solutions for Michigan, but also solutions that might affect or impact the mission and goals of the Michigan Community Service Commission? Perhaps better put, is there a role for the Commission to play as part of the solutions? During a segment of our Friday MCSC meeting we will engage in a conversation around any segment of the "State of the State" that involves our areas of expertise . Congratulations to Commissioner Comer who will be honored today by President Bush for his role as a volunteer, his commitment to mentoring and the way he has helped Lear Corporation "Advance Relentlessly" with the Lear Youth Academy. Both Jimmie Comer and Dan Mulhern were guests this morning on WJR'S Paul W. Smith show. Dan of course spoke about Mentor Michigan and Jimmie was recognized for his fine work. They certainly made my daily drive to Lansing much more interesting . Finally, we look forward to seeing all of you at the Commission meeting at our suite of offices in Lansing on Friday. The meeting will be preceded by an ad-hoc Service Learning Committee meeting. We will be joined at the Commission meeting by AI Flores of the Michigan Department of Civil Rights. Given our overarching value of "Diversity", AI will speak on Building Cultural Competency. My thanks to everyone for your part in the success of January- National Mentor Month. It's hard to believe that we are already at mid-February. Perhaps our gathering on Friday will be a great time to be mindful of February as Black History Month.

The website seeks to bring together supporters of AmeriCorps, as well as attract new champions, by sharing accurate and up-to-date information, facilitating conversation and cooperation, and making national service a frequently discussed issue around the county. History of Save AmeriCorps In 1993, AmeriCorps was created as the federal vehicle for building and delivering national service opportunities in the United States. In just ten years, the program has become a vital service resource, and a training ground for our future civic leaders, by engaging more than 300,000 idealistic, patriotic young people in a year of fulltime service. Moreover, AmeriCorps has become a model of a public-private partnership that works and a true example of a government program that operates through devolution principles: AmeriCorps distributes and monitors grants through direct grantmaking and state commissions to more than 900 local and national nonprofits and agencies. On June 16, 2003, the Corporation for Community and National Service (CNCS), AmeriCorp's parent organization, sent a shock through the service field and its many partners with the release of their first round of grant announcements. The announcements signaled devastating cuts to the field. As apprehensive programs waited for CNCS to reveal how an 80% cut in member slots would impact their individual organizations, a group of national and community organizations found their voice and discovered the most important fact of all: America needs AmeriCorps. This group, appropriately named the "Save AmeriCorps Coalition," continues to work tirelessly to preserve national service as we know it. �Voices for AmeriCorps 2005: AmeriCorps Strengthening America February 8th, 2005, 8:00AM-6:00PM Washington, D.C. As the White House and Congress begin to determine their fiscal year 2006 funding priorities, it is critically important that we thank our elected leaders for their past support and urge their continued commitment to national service. Please join us for a one-day event, Voices for AmeriCorps: AmeriCorps Strengthening America on February 8, 2005. In commemoration of AmeriCorps' 1Oth anniversary we will bring to Capitol Hill 10 hours of testimony highlighting the program's effectiveness in addressing critical domestic needs. Each hour will have a theme, and our speakers will focus on how AmeriCorps is successful strategy for: ~ ._ ._ ~ ._ ._ ~ Educating Children and Youth; Aiding Seniors and Supporting Independent Living; Building Affordable Housing Providing Quality Healthcare; Developing Citizens; Preserving Public Lands and Natural Resources; Training Skilled Leaders for Communities and the Nation; and Responding to Disasters and Securing the Homeland. �Legislative Update Legislative Update, September 24, 2004 On September 21 , the Senate Appropriations Committee passed an FY05 VA-HUD Appropriations bill that includes $590 million for the Corporation for the National and Community Service and its programs and activities, an increase of $9 million over the fiscal year 2004 enacted level and $18 million above the House's FY05 bill. This appropriation provides $292 million for AmeriCorps State and National operating grants; $150 million for the National Service Trust; $43 million for Learn and Serve; and $26 million for NCCC. The Senate bill will support 75,000 new full-time equivalent members for the AmeriCorps program. The House only provided sufficient funding to support 70,000 members. The Committee commended the Corporation's efforts to run an expedited rulemaking process that will address some of their long-standing concerns with the AmeriCorps program. The Senate Appropriators urged the Corporation to develop a definition for assessing a program's sustainability that is sensible and flexible. According to the Committee report, "[T]he Committee rejects a ·one-size-fits-all' approach and believes that in addressing this issue, the Corporation should use a performance-based method so that well-performing organizations are not unduly punished." Subcommittee Chairman Christopher Bond (R-MO) indicated at the Sept 21 hearing that he does not expect the VA-HUD bill to reach the Senate floor for consideration before the November elections. Congress is expected to return for a lame duck session, and will resume consideration of the funding bills. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

DATE: February 4, 2005 Michigan's AmeriCorps Competitive Renewal Applications Background All seven of our currently funded competitive programs are eligible for renewal funding. The MCSC issued renewal application guidelines to all of its Michigan's AmeriCorps renewal programs. The staff reviewed those guidelines with the programs at the Janaury program directors' meeting. Competitive renewal applications were due to MCSC by January 28, 2005. The MCSC conducted a staff review of all applications. Applicants were provided written feedback that included any necessary revisions. All revisions are due to MCSC by February 9, 2005. The staff will review all of the revisions to ensure all issues are addressed. Assuming all identified issues are addressed, the staff makes the following recommendations. Renewal Applicants 1) The staff recommends renewal funding at the recommended amount for the following applicants: Funding Legal #of Funding FTE # #of #of #of Ap plicant of Min Rate HT RHT Qrt Requested Recommend Time Time FT 0 BHKChild 0 $673,318 $11,813 57 0 0 $673 ,318 Development City Year 0 $695,23 0 0 $695,230 $10,377 67 0 0 Detroit �$130,126 Good Samaritan Ministries $201,490 Marquette Alger Regional Educational Service Agency Michigan $228,873 Department of Agriculture Michigan $252,105 State University Extension The Regents $302,934 of the University of Michigan $2,484,076 Total $130,126 $13,013 10 0 0 0 0 $201,490 $12,999 12 7 0 0 0 $228,873 $11,444 20 0 0 0 0 $252,105 $12,605 20 0 0 0 0 $302,934 $9,437 14 11 4 26 23 $2,484,076 $11,210* 200 18 4 26 23 *The CNCS average FTE cost requirement is $12,400. Michigan's Volunteer Investment Grant Background MCSC staff members met with the leadership ofthe Volunteer Centers of Michigan (VCM) twice in January to discuss the 2005 Michigan's Volunteer Investment Grant. The purpose of our discussions was to determine how to use the remaining $200,000 Volunteer Investment Grant funds in a manner that would 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 these funds on state-wide efforts rather than through the smaller grants we have offered previously. We invited VCM to submit a concept paper on behalfofthe centers. We received the concept paper on February 2, 2005 . Staff is currently reviewing the paper and will be providing feedback to VCM. Volunteer Centers of Michigan proposed that the Michigan's Volunteer Investment Grant be used in 2005 as a demonstration grant, through which VCM will: 1. Enlarge the capacity of Volunteer Centers to meet the core competencies and Standards of Excellence mandated by the Volunteer Center National 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 funding 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 ofVolunteer 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 promote 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. The staff will review all ofthe r.evisions to ensure all issues are addressed. Assuming all identified issues are addressed and the availability of the funds, the staff makes the following recommendations: Staff Recommendation The MCSC staff recommends funding in the amount of$200,000 to the Volunteer Centers of Michigan. �Michigan's AmeriCorps Competitive Funding Applicants 2005-2006 Program Year B-H-K Child Development Board- Superior AmeriCorps Counties Served: Baraga, Dickenson, Gogebic, Houghton, Iron, Keweenaw, and Ontonagon The Superior AmeriCorps Program will enroll 57 Full Time (1,700 hours over 12 months) members to provide educational assistance to youth and recruit volunteers.

Members and volunteers will also plan and carry out community-based service learning activities with these same youth. Members will work to match 600 adult and older youth volunteer mentors with 1,800 at-risk youth through one-on-one, small group, or peer mentoring programs. The goal will be to provide program services to each youth at least one hour per week, resulting in increased communication skills, relationship building and school achievement for at least 80% ofthose served. The Regents of the University of Michigan- Michigan Neighborhood AmeriCorps Program Counties Served: Wayne, Washtenaw, other counties statewide TBD The Michigan Neighborhood AmeriCorps Program will engage 78 AmeriCorps members (14 Full Time at 1,700 hours, 11 HalfTime at 900 hours, 4 Reduced HalfTime at 675 hours, 26 Quarter Time at 450 hours, 3 Minimum Time at 300 hours, and 20 Ed Awarq Only Minimum Time at 300 hours) to serve the residents of Detroit and Dearborn. Additionally, even though it will not represent the bulk of participant service, members will also be placed in Washtenaw and other counties statewide. Regardless of placement site, all members will provide services in health care assistance, youth enrichment programming or community economic development. AmeriCorps members will dedicate at least 10,000 service hours to social, economic and community development or revitalization projects in the cities of Detroit and Dearborn, which will result in 20 organizations initiating new projects to improve living conditions for residents. AmeriCorps members will provide education on community health issues to 2,500 residents of Detroit and Dearborn through face-to-face health education encounters and small group presentations. Members will also serve 700 youth in after school and summer programs, resulting in 75% of youth indicating (via survey) they have gained a more positive attitude towards education and learning. Finally, members will recruit and manage 2,200 community volunteers that will provide a total of 14,300 service hours during the program year. This volunteer service will take place in support of after-school and summer programs for youth at partner agencies, with the goal of increasing the service capacity of these sites. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

GRANHOLM , Governor MICHIGAN COMMUNITY SERVICE COMMISSION Chairperson Daniel G. Mulhern 1048 Pierpont, Suite 4 Lansing, Michigan 48913 Telephone: (517) 335-4295 Fax: (517) 373-4977 www.michigan.gov/mcsc Executive Director Janet Lawson MEMORANDUM TO: Members of the Michigan Community Service Commission FROM: Janet Lawson, Executive Director DATE: February 4, 2005 RE: Updates on Progress and Challenges (UPC) - Guided by marketing plans approved at the December MCSC meeting, Commissioners and staff began the New Year, and National Mentoring Month, eager to reach new goals. Vision and champions led us to the success we have experienced thus far in 2005. We are happy to report on the success and the challenges. One could be daunted at both the National and State levels by reports of budget cuts and budget neutral funding. What we lacked in dollars, however, we found in energy and in partnerships with media and local corporations. Mentor Michigan The Governor, First-Gentleman and Former Mayor Dennis W. Archer began the media campaign for National Mentor Month in December by filming tags to be added to the National Mentoring Partnership Public Service Announcements (PSA). 20 television outlets representing 22 stations and 29 radio outlets representing 61 stations requested the PSA ' s. Based on general comparison, there was broader distribution to the media outlets in 2005 . The First Gentleman dedicated his January calendar to promote mentoring at public appearances, radio and TV interviews, editorial boards and photo opportunities. The grid below indicates the locations ofhis appearances. At each location the First Gentleman: • spoke about the success of Mentor Michigan • asked people to become mentors �• • talked about the gap between the number of children who desire a mentor and the number ofmentees referred to data gathered in the recent Mentor Michigan Census, materials gathered from the 208 mentoring agencies registered with Mentor Michigan. The First Gentleman's public conversations on mentoring, the work ofMSCS Commissioners, a proclamation from the governor, coverage ofNational Mentor Month by media outlets throughout the state, the work of our newly formed statewide Mentoring Collaboratives, and a request by the governor to all state employees that they consider becoming mentors greatly increased the number of hits to the Mentor Michigan web-site. We will watch the next wave of the Mentor Michigan Census for proof positive that there was a correlation between the activity ofNational Mentor Month and the increased number of interested mentees, and mentor matches.

Clinton Township Troy Traverse City Statewide Muskegon Muskegon Muskegon �First Gentleman Mulhern promoted 1-800-VOLUNTEER and www.mentormichigan.org during his appearances and interviews. The success of his message is demonstrated by the increase in the number of web site hits during January 2005. Web Hits January 2004 3,449 Web Hits April2004 2,195 Web Hits July 2004 1,700 Web Hits October 2004 2,157 Web Hits January 2005 11,334 Also in January, Peter Mitchell, President of Albion College and Chair of the Michigan Campus Compact (MCC) responded that the MCC would accept the challenge to recruit 1,500 mentors from higher education institutions over the next three years. To assist this effort the Governor and First Gentleman will speak at MCC designated college campuses to students and faculty on mentoring. Recently, MCC gave a mini-grant of $2,500 to Alma College designated forementoring between faculty and local middle school students. Further enhancing the success of National Mentor Month the United Way Women's Initiative was launched in Detroit, Grand Rapids, Midland, Kalamazoo, Battle Creek and Lansing on February 11, 2005. This program will engage 6,000 women and girls in volunteer activities through a mentoring relationship. Other accomplishments this month, include the convening of the Mentor Michigan Providers Council. The group, made up of 21 representatives from around the state, advises us on mentoring issues. They are currently working on developing standards of excellence for Michigan's mentoring programs, evaluation tools, and collaboration activities. The council is chaired by Dr. Carole Touchinski, Director ofResearch for the Great Lakes Center for Youth Development. Finally, Siemens Corporation this week awarded Mentor Michigan with a $7,500 contribution. We will invite Commissioners to a March or April check presentation event with an executive from Siemens and the First Gentleman. Siemens is an international electronics company with 430,000 employees in 192 countries. With 70,000 employees and $16.6 billion in U.S. sales, Siemens is improving America's infrastructure through technology and innovation in Medical, Power, Automation and Control, Transportation, Information and Communications, Lighting, Building Technologies, Water Technologies and Services and Home Appliances. Michigan's AmeriCorps The ArneriCorps staffhas been busy developing and implementing the application process. This year the process will include renewal funding for the existing competitive, formula and education award only grants (all 19 ofthe existing programs are eligible for renewal funding), and new funding for the statewide mentoring program through the ConnectMichigan Alliance (CMA). In addition to the CMA application, we will receive an application for a statewide homeland security program from American Red Cross. The Red Cross applied for funding last year and was approved . After completing the three-month planning phase they realized they were not ready to operate a statewide program and asked to delay their grant for one year. We agreed that 3 �we would let them reapply this year assuming many of the challenges and infrastructure issues had been addressed. We expect to receive the CMA and Red Cross applications on March 21 st and will present our funding recommendations at the May MCSC meeting. The staff recently reviewed the seven competitive renewal applications and will present their funding recommendations at the February MCSC meeting. Please see the attached memo for the specific funding recommendations. They review the education award only proposal in February and will present the funding recommendations to the executive committee on February 241h. The formula renewal applications will be reviewed in April and funding recommendations will be presented in May. In addition to the application process, the staff conducted a retreat with the AmeriCorps member council on January 26-28, 2005 in Roscommon, Michigan. The Member Council consists of one representative from each Michigan's AmeriCorps program, as well as one VISTA. The retreat is an opportunity for Council members to meet in their committees setting goals for the year and outlining next steps. Council members are divided into one of three committees: Outreach Committee, Service Project Committee, or Diversity Committee. The committee time was extremely productive and this year's Council committees are spearheading several projects. Examples of these projects include: a newsletter to be published this month highlighting Michigan's AmeriCorps programs, the M.A.R.S. (Michigan's AmeriCorps Resources for Service Projects) website, and a diversity training curriculum that will allow Member Council Representatives to facilitate a training for their fellow Corps members. This year's Council is an exceptional group of individuals and the Corps members accomplished a great deal at the retreat. Members rated the overall quality of the Member Council Retreat a 4.91 on a scale of 1-5 (1 being poor and 5 being excellent). Learn and Serve Michigan/Service Learning Institute Michigan Campus Compact and the Michigan Community Service Commission will hold the 9th Annual Institute on Service-Learning "Deepening the Commitment to Student Engagement through Quality Teaching" February 17-18, 2005 on the campus of Adrian College. Cosponsored by Albion College, Andrews University, Eastern Michigan University, Lenawee Intermediate School District, Olivet College, and State Farm Insurance, the institute will draw more than 300 faculty and staff from both higher education and K -12 schools around the state. Confirmed keynote speakers include Sally Berman, author of Service Learning for the Multiple Intelligences Classroom and Alex Kotlowitz, author ofThe Other Side of the River: A Story of Two Towns and There Are No Children Here: The Story of Two Boys Growing Up in the Other America. A student track will again be offered for students from 9th grade through college. The institute planning committee selected nine dynamic pre-conference sessions planned for February 17. More than 30 concurrent and roundtable sessions are planned February 18. A special reception sponsored by the Lenawee Community Foundation will be held Thursday evening, February 17 to highlight this year' s Service-Learning award winners. 4 �Registration information is now available online at http://www.micampuscompact.org/institute05 .asp. Michigan Community Service Commissioners are invited to attend. Governor's Service Awards The Governor's Service Awards will be heldjointlywith the Carter Partnership Awards on Saturday, June 18, 2005 at the Hyatt Regency in Dearborn. The event will begin at 5:30p.m. with a private reception hosted by Governor Granholm, First Gentleman Mulhern, and Former First Lady Rosalynn Carter. Award winners will be announced at a celebratory dinner, which is open to the general public. The dinner begins at 7:00p.m. The Governor's Service Awards (GSA) Nomination Form was distributed in early January to nonprofit organizations, businesses and corporations, education institutions, past GSA nominees and nominators, faith-based organizations, and more. An electronic nomination form is available on the MCSC web site www.michigan.gov/mcsc. Nominations must be postmarked by Friday, March 18, 2005. Five finalists in each category, including the winner, will be selected through an objective review process, which includes the traditional peer review and an MCSC staff review. The Commissioners on the GSA Committee will approve all finalists and awardees. See the Fund Raising Committee Report for an update on the GSA fundraising activities to date. Volunteer Investment Grants Following a challenge by the Michigan Community Service Commission to reach the following goals: • Convene Volunteer Centers ofMichigan leadership to define gaps in recruiting and placing volunteers • Identify top 2 or 3 capacity issues with measurable objectives • Design a competitive bid process around those issues MCSC staff members met with leadership from the Volunteer Centers ofMichigan (VCM) twice to discuss the 2005 Volunteer Investment Grant. Based on the discussion, we decided it would be more effective to sub-grant the $200,000 to VCM rather than to a number of individual volunteer centers. This would ensure that all volunteer centers capacity would be impacted. VCM submitted a concept paper on Wednesday, February 2. Staff is currently reviewing the paper and will provide feedback to VCM. MCSC commissioners will approve the final grant. Please see the attached memo for the specific staff recommendation. 5 � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Through this program youth, ages 14 and up, are given courses in proper business attire, etiquette, computer skills, and finance management. The young people are also introduced to volunteer service and spend time working at local community events. In addition to being a mentor, Comer is also the volunteer VIP Mentoring board chairman. Comer was a 2004 finalist for the Detroit Lions' William Clay Ford Community Quarterback Award which recognizes outstanding local volunteers. The President's Volunteer Service Award, an initiative of the President's Council on Service and Civic Participation, is available to Americans of all ages who have demonstrated their dedication to volunteer service.

Staff present: Janet Lawson, Janice Harvey, and Joan Bowman. Board Member Development The Executive Committee had a discussion on Board Member Development and the Commissioners that are term limited this year. With Pat O'Day being term limited, we will need to look for someone from the Upper Peninsula. We will lose the corporate and fundraising background from Vivian Pickard. We will also need to look at the seniors network to replace Meg Smith. We also need to look at the geographic make-up of the Commission and where there may be a need (Traverse City, Midland/Bay City, Grand Rapids) . The Mentor Michigan Leadership Council would also have some good candidates for Commissioners. Two areas that are critical to focus on are marketing and public relations and someone with fundraising skills. Mentor Michigan Momentum Janet Lawson explained that the Commission needs to develop a plan for building momentum for Mentor Michigan in the corporate and government agencies. These areas will be addressed at the May MCSC Board Meeting. Chairman Mulhern is meeting Standard Federal Bank and Michigan Trial Lawyers Association to discuss mentoring opportunities. �MCSC Progress Toward 2005 Goals Janet Lawson asked whether Commissioners would like to have a report on where the MCSC is in regards to the goals that were established at the retreat (Public Relations, Ftmding, and Strategic Partnerships). The Executive Committee agreed that this should be part of the May MCSC Board Meeting agenda.

AmeriCorps members swung hammers, pounded nails, and laid cement to help support the Blue Water Habitat For Humanity' s Jimmy Carter Work Project. "AmeriCorps members are committed individuals who give of themselves throughout the year to make our communities safer and stronger for children and families," said First Gentleman Daniel Mulhern, Chair of the Michigan Community Service Commission (MCSC). "Today the AmeriCorps members visibly demonstrated the power of volunteer service." The Signature Service Project is an annual event hosted by the Michigan Community Service Commission, a state agency that helps strengthen communities through volunteer activities. Project partners are Habitat for Humanity of Michigan and the Blue Water Habitat for Humanity. This year's event is part of the Jimmy Carter Work Project 2005 . Former President Jimmy Carter will join an estimated 6,000 volunteers to build more than 200 homes throughout Michigan with families in need. Ten of those homes will be built in the Port Huron community. President Carter will be in Detroit and Benton Harbor June 19-24, 2005. "Today' s project made a huge difference in our community," said Jim Faulkner, Executive Director of the Blue Water Habitat for Humanity. "We're amazed at the commitment of these volunteers and are thrilled that they are helping us make the Jimmy Carter Work Project a reality in Port Huron." Also on hand to serve with and thank the AmeriCorps members were State Representative John Espinoza (D- District #83) and State Representative LaMar Lemmons, III (D - District 3). BACKGROUND: Michigan' s AmeriCorps is similar to a domestic Peace Corps. Programs are housed within nonprofit organizations, schools, and other agencies throughout the state. Individuals, called members, serve in these organizations to meet community needs around education, public safety, the environment, and other human needs. In an average year, AmeriCorps members help improve the lives of more than 115,000 people and recruit approximately 18,000 volunteers. �Governor's Husband Joins AmeriCorps At Habitat Build May 21, 2005 Page2 The Russ Mawby Signature Service Project is an annual event.

The district covers four townships surrounding the city of Mt. Clemens. We are near the shores of Lake St. Clair and Selfridge Air National Guard Base is in our community. We have ten elementary schools, four middle schools, two high schools, a vocational technical high school, an alternative high school and we provide the educational programs at the Macomb County Youth Home and the Macomb County Jail. L'Anse Creuse High Schools are home to approximately 1,800 students each, ninth through twelfth grades. In 1992 the L'Anse Creuse Board of Education adopted 40 hours of Community Service as a graduation requirement for all students. They believed the extended classroom of service to others allows students to apply what they have learned, to increase awareness of career opportunities and to realize themselves as contributors to society. The District funded a Community Service Coordinator to work at each of the two high schools. In 1994, our community service coordinator began to explore the service-learning concept, which directly ties community service with the curriculum. We applied for and received a Learn and SERVE grant to plan for service-learning in L'Anse Creuse. In 1996, the procedure for curriculum infusion of service-learning was developed and reviewed by administrators, the superintendent and his cabinet. The Board of Education passed a motion to embrace and support the service-learning concept and change the program name to Community Service-Learning. Continued support from Learn and SERVE grants and the Michigan Community Service Commission have helped to support the growth of service-learning at L'Anse Creuse High Schools. Obtaining teacher involvement in service-learning has been our greatest challenge. We have used workshops and presentations by our coordinator, guest speakers, fellow teachers who have used service-learning and students who have learned from service learning to achieve staff buy-in. In 2000, the Director of Secondary Education informed our Principal that a 11 departments in the high school were expected to 1ead a servicelearning experience in their respective department. The Principal passed that expectation on to the Department Heads and at the end of the 2002 school year, every core and noncore curricular area had a service learning activity or project involving nearly 50% of the teachers. The records of the 2004 graduating seniors indicated that 75% of the graduates had been involved in at least one service-learning activity. A good example of an ongoing service-learning project is the enviromnental science students studying water quality and using hands-on methods to collect and test water samples from the Clinton River each fall and spring. Michigan Curriculum Framework Science V, Content 2 says "describe how human activities affect the quality of water in the hydrosphere". The project becomes service-leaming when the students report their findings to the Clinton River Watershed Council and the Department of Environmental Quality and possibly effect the quality oft he waters that run through their community, into their 1akes and finally out of the water taps in their homes. The students share their findings at a summit with students from 20 other districts who have tested other areas of the river. This is the sixth year the students have taken part in this project. �At L'Anse Creuse High Schools, our community service-learning program has strengthened the relationship between the students and the community. The community leaders, organizations and agencies have recognized the enthusiasm, energy and physical strength our young people can bring to their needs. Students report that they have learned the meaning of the word "community". The students have responded to the needs in their community and, in tum, have become aware of themselves as a possible solution, as opposed to a contributor, to community problems and needs. Our service-learning activities are designed to help students gain civic competencies and skills by recognizing and involving themselves in family, global and community issues, accepting their role and participating in the democratic process and taking and defending a position when warranted. Students are strongly encouraged to recognize their responsibilities as effective citizens in the communities to which they belong as exemplified by the previously mentioned Watershed Monitoring project. Students have been promoted in leadership roles through service-learning as they are often given the opportunity to identify community needs. Teachers recognize that our students are out volunteering in the community every day and have a heightened awareness of community needs. Students are also being given the opportunity to develop a plan to address community needs as reported by teachers who are using the service-learning methodology. We believe that service-learning has had a tremendous impact on our students' learning, behavior and attitudes. A Reflection Questionnaire is part of the service-learning program and every student must complete one, providing them the opportunity to make the learning from their experiences more explicit. A student reported, "I learned many things through service to my community. I discovered that when you give of yourself to others, you will always get much more in return. I also leaned that everything I have learned in school is actually useful in the real world. T hings I considered 'pointless' were things I applied during my service." Another student wrote "Ironically, the biggest contribution I made was to my own character. The community service I did made me a stronger person. While I was helping others, I was helping myself. I contributed most to my own self worth and pride." Teachers wrote: "The students in charge were divided into committees and each committee elected a chair. This was a student-driven activity from beginning to end." " Students I earned to communicate with students of different ethnicity and social backgrounds." "In order for students to understand environmental problems and issues we currently face, they must experience them first hand" "Working with senior citizens also enables students to improve in their personal growth, social development, and an increased civic-mindedness, all of which are instrumental for a successful life after graduation from high school." The impact of our program on the community can best be explained in numbers. Since the program began in 1992, the students o fL 'Anse C reuse HighS chools have given over 4 60,000 hours of service to their community. The community has expressed its confidence in our students by calling the high school on a daily basis, reporting their needs and their desire for our student to assist them. The community has also supported our school district, as recently as May 2005 when they passed a ten-year bond issue for $210 million. When the program first began, one o f o ur challenges w as to get the community to recognize the value o f o ur youth and today the students of L'Anse Creuse High Schools are being recognized as contributing members of their community. �VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES FOR COMMUNITY NEEDS L'ANSE CREUSE HIGH SCHOOL- NORTH MAY 2005 (Visit us on the Web @ lc-ps.org) LOCKS of LOVE- donate your hair (10 inches) to this organization that supplies wigs for disadvantaged children with terminal illness.

As only 136 of the 207 (66%) identified mentoring organizations responded to the MMC, it is reasonable to estimate that more than 30,000 Michigan youth benefited from having a mentor in 2004. • Nearly 16,000 (15,977) Michigan residents served as mentors in 2004. • Mentoring organizations are located in 41 of Michigan's 83 counties. Type: One to one mentoring is most common. Group (1 adult to no more than 4 youth) and Team (a group of adults with a group of youth, no more than a 1/4 ratio) mentoring are the next most common. Peer mentoring is often used in schoolbased programs. E-mentoring is a supplement, but as depicted, rarely a primary mentoring form. This distribution is similar to that found in Wave I, with the only significant differences being an increase in the number of one to one mentoring reported and a slight decrease in the amount of group mentoring reported.

Government operated, faith-based and business-based programs are less common. While there are more community-based programs, more children are served through school-based programs. The average school-based program served 169 students in 2004, while the average community-based program served about 115 children in 2004. Kahle Research Solutions Inc.

Organizations responding to Wave II of the MCC report 10,546 active mentors as of Feb. 28 , 2005. This compares to 9,108 active mentors counted in Wave I (as of Aug 31 , 2004) , an increase of 1,438. Most of this increase is due to organizations reporting for the first time in Wave II, but also apparent is an incremental increase in the number of active mentors from organizations reporting in both Waves I and II.

The monthly averages of mentor inquiries and applications are increasing. The first two months of 2005 witnessed a large increase in the monthly average of both inquiries and applications.

The only exception to this is that there is a large increase in the proportion of mentors age 18-25. This age group is now the single largest cohort providing mentoring services to younger people. Analysis of the data shows that part of this increase is based on the new organizations reporting in Wave II , but also driving the difference is that recruitment efforts appear to be most effective with th is young adult age group.

The proportion of African-American youth served has declined while the proportion of Caucasian youth served has increased . This is as a result of new programs reporting this period that serve Caucasians. Kahle Research Solutions Inc.

Mentor Michigan Census Page 6 Kahle Research Solutions Inc. May 19, 2005 �Mentor Michigan Census Wave II: Executive Summary • Time from Inquiry to Match: Fifty percent of mentoring organizations report that, on average, a person inquiring to become a mentor is matched with a child within 30 days. Yet, twenty percent of organizations do not track time from inquiry to match. • Reasons Inquires Do Not Match: Mentoring programs report that the most common reason an inquiry does not eventually get matched with a young person is that the potential mentor does not submit a written application. Time commitments, of both intensity (hours per week) and duration (overall length of relationship), also are barriers for substantial minorities of potential mentors. Less frequently cited is the potential mentors' concerns about the special needs of the young person and lastly, the time commitment required for mentor training.

Yet, one in four mentoring organizations respond that they "don't know" their organizations' maximum annual mentoring capacity. • Liability: For the vast majority of mentoring organizations concern with liability is not a factor in preventing more children to be served. Only 4% of organizations report that liability is a major concern. Thirty-five percent report that liability is a "minor'' factor while 42% report, "liability is fully managed so as not be an issue." • Match Termination: Most mentoring organizations report that mentors rarely terminate a match within the first three months; 65% report it occurs less than 5% of the time. Similarly, organizations report that the child's family or guardian terminates the match within the first three months even less frequently. Most matches seem to "take". Yet, even small numbers of terminated matches may be problematic. Mentor Michigan Census Page 7 Kahle Research Solutions Inc. May 19, 2005 �Mentor Michigan Census Wave II: Executive Summary Mentor Michigan: Satisfaction and Services Used • Satisfaction with Mentor Michigan: Michigan's mentoring organizations use and are satisfied with the work of Mentor Michigan.

May 19, 2005 �Mentor Michigan Census Wave II: Executive Summary Background, Objectives and Method The Mentor Michigan Census (MMC) is a periodic survey of organizations operating mentoring programs in the State of Michigan. 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 September 1, 2004. This reflects a 67% response rate. This report reflects the data from Wave II of the MMC, conducted in March of 2005. Out of a total of 207 mentoring organizations identified and registered with Mentor Michigan, 136 responded (66% response rate). Of the 105 organizations that responded to Wave I, 96 responded to Wave II. Thus, 40 organizations reported for the first time in Wave II. 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 this 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. Additionally, a special section addressed use and satisfaction with the services and products produced by Mentor Michigan. Mentor Michigan has adopted the National Mentoring Partnership's definition of mentoring. "Mentoring is a structured and trusting relationship that brings young people together with caring individuals who offer guidance, support, and encouragement aimed at developing the competence and character of the mentee." Responsible mentoring can take many forms: • Traditional mentoring (one adult to one young person) • Group mentoring (one adult to up to four young people) • Team mentoring (several adults working with small groups of young people, in which the adult to youth ratio is not greater than 1:4) • Peer mentoring (caring youth mentoring other youth) • E-mentoring (mentoring via e-mail and the Internet) Mentor Michigan Census Page 10 Kahle Research Solutions Inc. May 19,2005 �Mentor Michigan Census Wave II: Executive Summary 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.
