Executive Slunmary The mission of the American Red Cross AmeriCorps Together We.Prepare (ATWP) program is to provide vital emergency assistance to communities affected by disasters and increase preparedness in the areas of greatest need before disasters strike by recruiting, training and supporting young adults who will provide integrated community outreach and education through Red Cross service activities focusing on Homeland Security. Close to 60 percent of Americans are slumbering when it comes to preparedness, according to Marsha Evans, President and CEO of the American Red Cross. Michigan Red Cross Chapters are committed to a new organizational design that supports the strategic goal of the American Red Cross to ensure that individuals, families and organizations are prepared for disasters and other life-threatening emergencies. The proposed 9 ATWP sites, hosted by American Red Cross Chapters represent the diversity of our state, the types of communities (urban, rural and suburban) served, and the types of disasters addressed. ATWP members will provide disaster preparedness and personal safety information to community members, recruit volunteers from communities, and increase each involved American Red Cross chapters' capacity to respond to disasters throughout Michigan and the nation while involving local communities in the process. ATWP members will also provide education geared towards young adults designed to raise awareness about the importance of and need for blood donation to foster a new generation of lifelong blood donors. The ATWP program provides the tools and training necessary for Michigan residents to take personal responsibility for their own safety. Whether it's an act of terrorism or a natural or man-made disaster, there are five easy steps that everyone can take to prepare. The five building blocks of the ATWP program include; making a family disaster plan, preparing a family disaster supplies kit, getting trained, volunteering, and giving blood. �·~ I ( "' I G ~ ll COMMUNITY SERVICE C•J"' MISS ON + A.merlc.n Red Cro&s T~MCDII5<1WD t/fr 0 . - T OGETH ER WEPREPAR E THE MISSION OF THE AMERICORPS TOGETHER WE PREPARE PROGRAM IS TO PROVIDE VITAL EMERGENCY ASSISTANCE TO VICTIMS AND COMMUNITIES AFFECTED BY DISASTER AND TO INCREASE PREPAREDNESS IN THE AREAS OF GREATEST NEED BEFORE DlSASTERS STRIKE BY RECRUITING, TRAINING AND SUPPORTING YOUNG ADULTS IN RED CROSS DIRECT SERVICE ACTIVITIES .

Currently, only about 30,000 children are being formally mentored. • If you are one of the 30,000 mentors in Michigan, ask a friend! Most people become a mentor because they were asked. • 99 percent of the people who mentor with formal mentoring programs would recommend it to others. • Mentoring changes lives two at a time. Both the mentee and the mentor benefit from the relationship. • Local mentoring organizations have a great need for male mentors, particularly men of color. o A recent study released by Kahle Research Solutions, Inc. that showed only 33 percent of mentors in Michigan are men. The study also showed that while 36 percent of the mentees are children of color, only 24 percent of the mentors are people of color, a disparity that creates a dilemma for mentoring programs trying to match children with mentors from the same ethnic and gender backgrounds. • Women mentors out number male mentors two to one. (Currently 67 percent of mentors are female, while 33 percent are male). • Become a mentor and make a serious commitment! A successful mentoring relationship last for at least one year and meets for at least one hour per week. - MICHIGAN Mentor Michigan is a program of the MCSC 1048 Pierpont, Suite 4 Lansing, Ml 48913 (517) 335-4295 www. mentorm ichigan. org COMMUNITY SERVICE COMMISSION �Quality Ptogtarn ~tandatdg fot Youth Mf!ntoti ng Mentor Michigan and its Providers Council believe it is vital for Michigan's mentoring programs to operate with the highest possible quality, so the Mentor Michigan Quality Program Standards for Youth were developed.

The Mentor Michigan Providers Council, a body of 20 mentoring experts from across the state, drafted the standards from best practices developed by national, state, and local organizations. First Gentleman Daniel G. Mulhern presented the standards and gathered feed back from mentoring professionals throughout the state at four Regional Trainings in the summer of 20 05.

AmeriCorps is similar to a domestic Peace Corps. Individuals, called members, are housed within nonprofit organizations, schools, and other agencies throughout our state. Each program sets its own goals to help meet local needs. • The AmeriCorps members are building houses, mentoring children, teaching conflict resolution, recruiting volunteers, implementing homeland security activities, and more. • During the 2005-06 program year, the 21 programs are engaging 910 members in a variety of activities focusing on the environment, education, public safety, and human needs. • On average, each Michigan's AmeriCorps member recruits 29 volunteers to help strengthen his or her community. AmeriCorps funding may be available for organizations in your community. Funding is usually granted in three-year cycles with renewal funding based upon successful completion of annual goals. Michigan's AmeriCorps grants traditionally average $250,000 each and require match funds. Do you know a potential AmeriCorps member? AmeriCorps members are dedicated individuals at least 17 years of age who want to make a difference in their community. Potential members can find out more about AmeriCorps by calling (800) 942-2677 or visiting www.americorps.org. They can find the Michigan programs by clicking on "AmeriCorps in Your State" and selecting Michigan. �2005-2006 Michigan's AmeriCorps IRON • • DICKINSON • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • •• •• •• • • • • • •• • • • • • • •• • • • • • • KALKASKA CRAWFORD WEXFORD OCEANA MISSAUKEE OGEMAW LAKE OSCEOLA CLARE NEWAYGO MECOSTA ISABELLA GLADWIN GRATIOT MONTCALM Michigan'sAmeriCorps member(s) • serve this county Michigan'sAmeriCorps host site(s) • are located in this county OSCODA I KENT OTTAWA • CLINTON IONIA OAKLAND ALLEGAN CASS BARRY EATON KALAMAZOO CALHOUN ST. JOSEPH BRANCH INGHAM JACKSON HILLSDALE LIVINGSTON WASHTENAW LENAWEE Updated: February 14, 2006 �- MICHIGAN AMERICORPS RAMP PROJECT COMMUNITY SERVICE COMMISSION ACCOMPLISHES WHAT OTHERS COULDN'T Heartbroken is the only word to describe the feeling Kevin Mullins and his family had when he lost his leg and his job. Kevin was hospitalized with a serious infection that culminated in the amputation of his leg. Thus began a nightmare of skyrocketing hospitalization costs, as the hospital would not allow Kevin to come home until an access ramp was installed. A ramp, which costs $5,000- $7,000 when built by a private contractor, was out of reach for the Mullins. Kevin began preparation to move to a nursing home. Kevin's wife, Colleen, contacted more than 50 agencies looking for help. Finally, she connected with the Community Builders Corps, an AmeriCorps program that builds ramps for individuals for the cost of materials-approximately $1 ,5 00. As the Mullins were already financially strapped, even this amount was too much. Kevin Mullins arrives home, thanks to the Community Builders Corps. The AmeriCorps members would not give up on Kevin. They asked local lumberyards for help. Brooks Lumber in Detroit offered the materials at their cost ($1 ,200), but the Mullins still could not pay that amount. They were discussing the situation in Kevin's hospital room one night when the patient in the next bed overheard their conversation. The patient called his son. The next day the son came to visit Kevin and offered to pay for the materials to build the ramp. Four days later, the ramp was completed and Kevin Mullins went home. Young Detroit Builders recently received a $176,419 grant from the Michigan Community Service Commission to continue the Community Builders Corps program in 2002-2003. This program enrolls 14 full-time AmeriCorps members to: • • • • Build at least 30 wheelchair ramps for disabled individuals Make adaptation improvements to the home of 40 low-income seniors or disabled persons Provide outdoor services (clean windows and gutters, rake leaves, pick up trash, etc.) for approximately 50 low-income, disabled individuals Respond to at least 30 requests from the Community Policing Office (see below) Community Builders Corps' newest partner is the Detroit's 4th Precinct Community Policing Office. This project helps people whose homes have been burglarized. Break-ins often result in a broken doorjamb or shattered windows, leaving the victims feeling vulnerable to another attack. AmeriCorps members are now on call to make repairs so families can remain in their homes with an increased sense of security. �- MICHIGAN COMMUNITY SERVICE AMERICORPS MEMBERS BUILD HOPE By Joshua Brugger COMMISSION As an AmeriCorps member, I learned valuable lessons about the importance of hope. I came to believe that every day it was my job to help people find hope-to coax it, to prod it, to bring it out of its hiding place and into the light. This past year, I was an AmeriCorps member with Lakeshore Habitat for Humanity in Holland. Working alongside many volunteers, I helped build a dozen simple and decent homes. These new homes brought hope to families. Sometimes the days were long and difficult. I spent days of 11, 12, and 13 hours painting and roofing in the hot summer sun. I also dug water line trenches through frozen earth in December to meet a New Year's Day deadline. One of my favorite memories of my AmeriCorps year was a project I did with the Boys and Girls Club of Greater Holland. I taught a woodworking class to teenagers. Classes included lessons in safety, learning about tools and materials, and the opportunity to build something. Something like a toolbox, birdhouse, or bug habitat. Now on one particular day, I thought that I'd really wow the kids. So, what did I do? I brought power tools with me! After receiving permission from the Boys and Girls Club, I came to class ready with a drill, a circular saw, and a 2x10 board that was 6 feet long. This was going to be a great class! A teen builds her own birdhouse as part of the BGCH!Habitat project. I had several students help me carry in all of the equipment. As they did, they paraded the power tools in front of their friends-eager to show that they were special because they got to carry the drill or the saw. Class began. Kids were lined up outside the door, peering through the windows, climbing over each other so they could see. Every seat was filled. Excitement was in the air. It was like being on the set of Tool Time. I laid that 2x1 0 out on the table. Donned my safety glasses. Measured and strategically marked off the spot I would cut. As a trained member of Habitat for Humanity, I do know that a 7 %"titanium tipped plywood blade is terrific for cutting plywood or siding. But I don't know why I didn't remember that it doesn't work so well when cutting through a piece of #2 pine. After the smoke cleared, the kids and I all had a great laugh! I'll never forget that day. And I'll never forget the day four months later, when those same kids built a ramp for a 7-year-old boy with spina bifida. They learned a lesson about hope that day because they gave hope and happiness to that young boy and his family. So now I encourage everyone to plant hope. Hope makes change happen. It may not happen overnight. It may take years to grow. I believe the hope I planted during my year as an AmeriCorps member is still making a difference in the lives of the people in Holland today. �- MICHIGAN MICHIGAN'S AMERICORPS MEMBERS COMMUNITY SERVICE CHANGE LIVES COMMISSION What I Have Learned Through AmeriCorps by Robyn E. Hall, AmeriCorps Oakland AmeriCorps is amazing and an experience that everyone should have. The impact that it has on children is incredible. While they may not always remember my name, they know that I am there to help. The trust and confidence they have in me is overwhelming. They believe in me, and as a result, I have learned to believe in me, as well. I have learned that all things are possible, and that I can accomplish whatever I set out to achieve. Children seem to have a way about them that can brighten my day and remind me that one bad day isn't the end of the world. Through AmeriCorps, I have grown as a person. I have learned to become more independent and self-motivated. I have learned to find work to do, rather than wait around doing nothing. I have become more assertive and have learned to be a leader. I have learned to rise up to meet the challenges that present themselves. AmeriCorps has been a wonderful experience, and I can't wait to see what lay ahead for me. This poem that I wrote really sums it up: I have learned to give, and to smile, To believe in others, as well as myself. I have learned to be patient and listen, To care, to love and to laugh. I have learned that I can make a difference, One child at a time, I can change their world. And they can change mine. I have learned that not every day will go perfectly, And sometimes I will get stressed and frustrated. But I have learned that laughter can go a long way. I have learned more than I could ever explain, Except to say, I have learned to truly live. Robyn Hall is an Oakland University freshman and first year member with AmeriCorps Oakland. She is from Shelby Township and serves at Mark Twain Elementary School in Pontiac. AmeriCorps Oakland enrolls 40 part-time AmeriCorps members to assist the neighboring community of Pontiac meet their education goals. Members serve in Pontiac elementary schools tutoring students grades 1-3 to improve their reading and writing abilities. After school and throughout the summer, members provide education-based enrichment programs teaching children to enjoy science, math, and geography by designing activities and field trips where the children learn while having fun. In 2002, Oakland AmeriCorps members tutored 450 children and provided programs like conflict resolution, character education, and substance abuse prevention for 998 youth. �Success by Six Pleases Parents Below is an excerpt from a letter received by the Success by Six program coordinator. This family received home visiting parent education from AmeriCorps members. Dear Ms. Fairchild: Our son, Jakob, is almost three years old and has a 50% speech and language delay compounded with sensory problems. Like so many other parents, we were unable to take our son into the classroom because of our work schedules. Your program was the only way we could get our son the help he needed. You were able to meet with us at any time, day, or place. We have been working with two of the nicest women and they have played a big part in all of our son's milestones. He now has a much longer attention span and is more willing to cooperate and learn. He follows directions much better and is now able to complete many different learning activities. Not only have they helped our son learn how to communicate, they've helped us learn how to teach him. They offer help, advice, and support to families who have no idea what resources are available to them. We have received parenting skills training and attended workshops to learn a wide variety of activities that both stimulate and broaden children's learning ability. It was easy for us to attend the workshops because food and daycare is provided. I hope our son gets well enough not to need their services for much longer, , but I'm comforted by the fact that they will still be here if he needs them. I just hope this program will be available for other parents and children who need the help, too. Thank you! Branch Intermediate School District's Success by Six Program enrolls ten full-time AmeriCorps members to provide child development and parent education for families with children prenatal to six years of age.

"It makes up for so many times when older people and younger people purposely avoid each other because they think they have no common ground." Vietnam Veteran Ron DeWaard and his wife Linda, along with more than 100 other veterans and their wives recently attended the first annual Veterans' Reception hosted by members of the Boys and Girls Club of Greater Holland (BGCH). The reception, honoring veterans for service to our country, included a tour of the Boys and Girls Club, a dinner, and a program of speeches by both youth and veterans. Ron and Linda were touched by the expression of kindness on the part of the 85 Holland youth involved. A Holland youth and local veterans meet for the first time at the Veterans Reception. The reception was the culmination of a year of correspondence between club members and veterans. Letters, holiday cards, valentines, and photographs were exchanged. A club member from the 5th grade had the greatest response from her veteran. After her first letter, she received a large package. It contained an extensive letter in which the veteran answered all her questions and included a book and pictures of the ship that he served on while in the Navy. In addition to giving students a window into the lives of veterans, the year-long project gave them opportunities to practice letterwriting and computer skills. The program was not directly designed to bring homeland security into the lives of the youth and the community. An exciting, but unexpected outcome was the level of awareness gained by the youth about what it means to serve your country and be part of a nation and community. Equally exciting was how touched the veterans were by the interest of the children. "Acts of kindness are always rewarded," shared Army veteran, Bruce Glass. A lifetime member of VFW Post 2144 and former member of the 352nct Communication Reconnaissance Company, Mr. Glass served in the Korean War. He told the club members, "Your kindness toward old soldiers, Marines, sailors, and airmen will not be forgotten. We salute you." Students in this program also • Planned with community leaders and decorated the parade route for the Veterans' Day and Memorial Day parades • Cleaned up and prepared equipment for storage after parades • Researched the wars which veterans corresponded about This service-learning project is part of the Learn and Serve- Michigan program at the Boys and Girls Club of Greater Holland.

Research has shown that smoke from the smokers around them causes disease, including lung cancer, in healthy nonsmokers. Although they may make the decision not to smoke, they could still be at risk. Rather than sit around and complain, they decided to do something.

Coordinating with the University of Michigan, Red Cross staff and volunteers arranged for residents of the downtown assisted living facility to be bussed to temporary housing at a local hotel. Complications in repairing the problem at Courthouse Square turned the one-night stay into four nights.

Daily shuttles were scheduled for residents, meals were served, and medical assistance provided. Happy to be on her way back home after the crisis, Joyce said she thought the Red Cross volunteers were wonderful. "Without the Red Cross, we'd have been lost," she said. One of the volunteers who helped with the evacuation and sheltering was 17-year-old Deondre Richmond. Deondre became a volunteer through the Red Cross Youth Community Action Team (YCA T). He had only recently completed his orientation when he was called into action. Working alongside experienced team members, Deondre provided information, food, and a listening ear to the seniors. During the five days of the crisis, he volunteered a total of 59 hours. He combined his training with common sense and youthful energy to do anything he could. Although public recognition is not important to him, Deondre received a Certificate of Appreciation from the Red Cross Emergency Services Department. YCAT engages 80 youth between the ages of 12 and 17 in a variety of service-learning activities that are mainly focused on peer education. Youth volunteers first complete First Aid and CPR training. Then they choose an interest area such as Community Disaster, Water Safety, or Pet First Aid for their next level of training. The young people utilize their training to assist their peers and to volunteer for Red Cross projects throughout the community.

We will tell the story of Michigan's national leadership position and prototype the Michigan volunteer infrastructure. We will let others know what's great and strong about volunteerism in Michigan. We will tell the positive Michigan story of this coordinated initiative using community and corporate volunteerism to solve large Michigan problems. We will demonstrate the cooperative model between MCSC, CMA, VCM, MNA, MCC and Michigan's Promise. Currently these MCSC Commissioners and friends have pledged time to support this committee: Rob Collier Shaun VanHorn AI Swain Larry Williamson Mike Thomas Kathy Young-Welch �Great Media Conference Call Notes October 27, 2005 Participants: Rob Collier Al Swain Shaun VanHorn Kathy Young-Welch Janet Lawson Janice Harvey Marketing Strategy: Objective: In order to meet our Commission Goals (Mentor Michigan, Cool Cities and Great Media), we need to develop customized structured marketing tools to engage any segment of the community we decide to interface with. The development of these tools would afford us a marketing model throughout the state that all volunteers, commissioners and others could easily identify with and articulate. It is a model that is successfully utilized by the U.S. Census Bureau and a model that was successfully used with Detroit's Promise. I. The tools would take form of customized volunteerism fact sheets/commitment forms that encourage, identify and offer suggested forms of volunteerism for specific sectors. a. Recommended Sector Fact Sheets/Commitment Form could be for the business community, faith-based entities, sports teams, education institutions, specialty groups, sports teams, community groups, individuals, the media etc. II. Each sheet would be customized to speak to how volunteerism creates and nurtures stronger communities in that specific sector. Ill. The second part of the sheet could be used to allow entity to explain how they are already involved, ask them to step up more, solicit involvement if it does not exist, provide examples of how and provide a entity contact who will have the time to interface with commission staff or volunteers for ongoing dialogue. IV. Benefits of structured marketing tools: Any commissioner, staff or volunteer can pitch volunteerism in a coordinated fashion anywhere in the state. The structure lends itself to measurables because you would have a commitment form completed by the entity and follow-up can easily be ensued. The commitments garnered from the entities can be utilized for peer leveraging as an incentive for an annual report-out (perhaps during the GSA). Great Media Strategy Objective: To gain more media partners to help tell our wonderful stories, create more volunteerism awareness, create more volunteers and help make volunteerism a mainstay in all of �our commumtles. Utilizing the above marketing tool strategy. I propose the development of customized fact sheet/commitment forms for media partners. The sheet could begin with a message about the need to create more awareness about various forms of community volunteerism aimed at making and nurturing stronger communities. I. The tool would also allow the media partner to describe any volunteerism currently undertaken by their agency and it would allow the commission to request additional asks specific to our needs (i.e., Regular run ofpsa's, interviews on public affairs programming, interviews with key announcers during major drive time hours, the recoding of public service announcements around certain commission activities or events, the request for a station promotion around a commission activity of event, editorials supporting a commission event or activity, etc.). II. Comcast creation of public service announcements (Perhaps 3-4 that could be customized for state regions) encouraging volunteerism throughout the state. I propose a doughnut announcement. The beginning of the announcement would feature the governor and first gentleman talking about the importance ofvolunteerism and its effect on our community; their intro would be followed by a series of short cut-ways to 3-4 community residents acknowledging their form of community volunteerism ( ex. bus driver leaning out his bus window saying he is a mentor, a senior citizen saying they volunteer at the local elementary school as a guest reader, a sports team player saying he or she is a brig brother/big sister, etc.) the cut-away vignettes would be followed by the governor and first gentleman providing information on how to connect to volunteering in one's community. Food for Thought * The U.S Census Bureau has local libraries where volunteers could be taught how to pull census data on children in poverty throughout the state. The bureau, I'm told does a yearly poverty report and they would be willing to train our volunteers to retrieve this data and how to use it. This data could be crucial, if a community has not done a recent "Needs Assessment". The U.S. figures are the benchmarks anyway. The information can also be retrieved on-line once individuals are taught how to do so. • If kids in poverty are our nucleus for mentoring, we have to be careful in communities were poverty is low and volunteerism is high. I would want to have some dialogue around this issue, I think one of our ultimate goals is to nurture and create volunteerism. • Bob Kahle could be consulted on the fact sheet/commitment forms; there may be some measurables that we need that he can identify. • Perhaps the first fact sheet/commitment form template examples should be for the business community, media and specialty organizations who can solicit mentors since these are the identified areas of outreach for the commission. If you agree, we can come up with some examples for the next board meeting. �Page 1 of 1 Janice Harvey - Re: Mentoring &.

It was good to be a part of the recent conference call. As I reflect on some of the choices that we have for connecting with our "cool CEO's" to promote "mentoring" I do believe that we are missing a key element. .. i.e. the Michigan community colleges. There are 28 of these valuable institutions that typically are the most respected, local resource for business development in their respective communities. Each of these institutions will have a quite extensive network of advisory bodies directly linked to their business communities. Actually, since most of the training which the business community receives originates with these institutions, the colleges will have better connections with them than virtually any other entity ... including the ISD's. Second, my impression from our visit was that we are concentrating most of our attention for promoting mentoring in the southeast Michigan arena ... i.e. Compuware, Lear, GM, etc. Certainly, there are some substantial #'s within these ranks, but I would suggest to you that if the concept is to be successful, we must also look aggressively outstate. Again, I do not believe that we can find any substantial area of population outside of southeast Michigan that does not have a well respected, community college. Anyway, just a couple of thoughts. Please advise if you wish any assistance with contact with these institutions and if you wish me to attend the Nov. 9 meeting? I do not wish to be seen as a "hanger on", but if there is anything that you wish me to assist with in promoting the concept. .. ! will be pleased to help. Best wishes ...

Corporation for National and Community Service Fiscal Year 2007 Budget ConnectMichigan Alliance 1048 Pierpont Suite #3 Lansing, Michigan 48911 Phone: 517-492-2440 www .connectmichiganalliance.org www .servemichigan.org �Page 1 of1 Printable Page Monday, February 06, 2006 Office of the CEO Message on Fiscal Year 2007 Budget from David Eisner, CEO, Corporation for National and Community Service Dear Colleagues: A few minutes ago, the President released his budget request for fiscal year 2007. To continue our vital work to improve lives, strengthen communities , and foster civic engagement through service and volunteering , the Administration has requested a FY 2007 budget for the Corporation of $851 .5 million . The proposed budget will enable the Corporation to support 75,000 AmeriCorps members, approximately 500,000 Senior Corps volunteers, and some one million Learn and Serve America participants. In addition , the budget will allow the Corporation 's programs to mobilize and manage at least one million community volunteers, bringing to more than 2.5 million the total number of Americans engaged in community service through our programs . Click here read the full Congressional Budget Justification for Fiscal 2007. The President is committed to national service; he is also committed to controlling spending and reducing the deficit. That entails some hard choices for discretionary spending . The budget proposes elimination or sign ificant reduction of 141 programs across the government, including the AmeriCorps*NCCC program with in the Corporation for National and Community Service. In the FY 2007 budget, the Corporation has a reduction of 5.4 percent, which adds up to $48.5 million. More than half of that reduction comes from the proposed shut down of AmeriCorps*NCCC . Our goal with this budget request is to sustain our ability to meet key strategic goals, continue savings through management improvements, and raise our level of service to our partners and grantees . In all of these areas, I believe we succeeded in this proposal. Here is an overview of the Corporation's 2007 request: • For Senior Corps, this budget requests $217 million, a continuation of the enacted budget for FY 2006 . There are no reductions to Senior Corps programs: RSVP (Retired Senior Volunteer Program) continues at the FY 06 enacted funding of $59.6 million ; the Foster Grandparent Program will continue the 2006 funding of $110 million ; and the Senior Companion Program will also hold steady at $46 .9 million . The funding will support more than 1,200 grantees and approximately 500,000 volunteers . • For AmeriCorps Grants and the National Service Trust combined, this budget requests $383 .6 million . This level, when combined with the $95.4 million requested for AmeriCorps*VISTA and $13 million carried over from 2006, will support 75,000 members . • For AmeriCorps*NCCC , this budget requests only $4 .9 million , which is intended to cover the cost of closing our campuses. This is a difficult decision , given the popularity of the program with our participants and partners, particularly in disaster response . However, the NCCC is costly compared to other AmeriCorps programs and was rated poorly in a recent Federal management assessment. The Corporation is committed to building up the rapid and flexible disaster recovery capacity of the NCCC within the rest of the national service portfolio. • The budget requests $34.1 million for Learn and Serve America , an eight percent decrease from the 2006 enacted budget of $37 million . We expect this budget to support the participation of about 1.2 million students in 1,500 local service-learning programs . In addition , this budget proposes $1.1 mill ion for train ing and technical assistance , which will go to the National Service-Learning Clearinghouse. We are also proposing new funding of $400 ,000 for the Students in Service Initiative Support, which will promote the spread of service learning to more schools in America . http: //www.cns.gov /assets/printable/printable_statements.asp?tbl _pr_id=248 2113 /2006 �Page 2 of2 Printable Page • In this budget environment, the Corporation will be increasing its focus on management excellence, seeking cost savings and efficiencies wherever possible. In that regard , this request increases the program administration fun ds, largely for a one-time investment in information technology security upgrades and the consolidation of our administrative service centers , which will unfortunately mean the elimination of some staff positions. We believe, however, that these reforms will allow us to deliver a higher level of service at a lower cost over time . The release of the President's budget is just the first step in a long journey. Next come appropriations hearings in the House and Senate later this spring, followed by committee mark-ups, floor consideration , conference committees , and more .

Info rmation on th e 2 004 -2 005 program year current as ofMay 3, 2005 �FORNATIONALSERVICE The Honorable George W . Bush The White House 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, NW Washington, D .C. 20500 Dear Mr. President: On behalf of the national service community, we are writing to thank you for your commitment to AmeriCorps and Learn and Serve America and to request that you demonstrate continued support by proposing an increase for these programs in your fiscal year 2007 budget. While AmeriCorps and Learn and Serve are relatively small investments, both programs have made a profound impact on America's needs, contributing to community renewal and strengthening the ties that bind us together as a nation. Together AmeriCorps and Learn and Serve America provide a continuum of service opportunities from childhood through adulthood, and program continuity and growth is critical to their success. AmeriCorps has grown under your leadership, expanding by a historic 50% in 2004. However, since that record appropriation in FY04, funding for AmeriCorps State and National grants has been on a steady, persistent decline. From fiscal year 2004 to fiscal year 2006, grant support has been reduced by nearly 16 percent, $49 million. If this downward trend continues, many nonprofits - particularly those in rural and lowwealth communities where private sector funding is limited - will be forced to discontinue their AmeriCorps programs and the non-profit community will lose the valuable expertise and resources these programs offer. Declining programmatic support also makes your goal of 75,000 AmeriCorps members that much more elusive. We are very concerned that the combination of diminishing appropriations and rising operating costs will force the Corporation for National and Community Service to make programmatic compromises that will undermine the historic nature and fundamental character of AmeriCorps. The AmeriCorps program is a vital resource for our communities and Voices for National Service believes that it will require at least $442 million in grants and investments in the National Service Trust- the same level that you requested in fiscal year 2005 --to enable 75,000 members to serve while maintaining the historical balance between full-time, part-time, and Education award only AmeriCorps members . Since 1994, AmeriCorps has engaged more than 400,000 members in intensive service, working with more than 3,000 nonprofits , public agencies and faith-based organizations to address problems within four broad categories: "unmet human, educationaL environmental, or public safety needs ." AmeriCorps members teach in underserved schools, tutor and mentor youth including the children of prisoners, run after-school programs, build affordable housing, prevent forest fires, and help communities respond to disasters . Hundreds of AmeriCorps state programs clean rivers and streams, enrich after school programs, support local law enforcement by providing meaningful alternatives to gangs, deliver services to the elderly, and meet other needs defined by the communities in which they serve. This year, AmeriCorps members are serving more than two million children and youth, providing valuable resources to reach your goal of having all children able to read by third grade. They are also helping to recruit and train more than 600,000 community volunteers. Since September 11, 2001 the AmeriCorps program has expanded its work in public safety, public health, disaster relief, and homeland security; helping to prevent or mitigate the effects of man-made and natural disasters . In the wake of Hurricanes Katrina, Rita and Wilma, AmeriCorps programs joined local, state and national relief and recovery efforts to provide emergency assistance and long-term relief to the Gulf Coast region. More than 12,000 national service participants have responded to the disaster in the Gulf and across the nation by coordinating donations and volunteer management efforts, providing after-school activities for displaced school children, clearing debris, renovating and rehabilitating private homes and public buildings, and rebuilding communities. �Another Corporation for National and Community Service administered program, Learn and Serve America, distributes grants to elementary and secondary schools, colleges and community- and faith-based organizations to support and enable quality service-learning, which connects classroom lessons with meaningful service to the community. A report issued by the Corporation for National and Community Service last month found positive correlations between school-based service and student achievement, civic empowerment, interest in world events, and continued volunteering with organizations. Studies show that Learn and Serve America programs provide a return on investment of four dollars for each dollar invested. At an average cost of less than $25 per participant, this is an extremely costeffective federal education program, but one that must be consistently funded for students and communities to receive the greatest benefit. In FY05, you requested a small expansion in Learn and Serve America to support teacher training. This was first proposed increase in Learn and Serve funding since the program's inception, but the funds were not appropriated. This year, Congress actually passed a Labor-HHS Appropriations bill that reduced Learn and Serve funding to $37.5 million- a 12% cut in one year. At a time when the demand for service-learning by classrooms teachers is on a rise, the FY06 cuts will deny 200,000 students the opportunity to participate in these activities. After a decade of no growth, we request that you include $48 million for Learn and Serve America programs in your FY07 budget request, providing a modest $3 million increase for teacher training and $2 million for scientifically-based research. Simply restoring the existing program to $43 million will generate $172 million worth of services to local communities. We understand the difficult task you face trying to allocate limited goverrunent resources wisely. We must invest in programs that work and achieve positive results, and AmeriCorps and Learn and Serve do just that. Our members provide valuable assistance to children, adults and families in a variety of areas including education, the environment, public safety, public health, and housing, and federal support for national service leverages hundreds of millions more in public and private resources . Mr. President, we salute your commitment to unite Americans in an ethic of service, and AmeriCorps and Learn and Serve America are critical tools in your effort to meet pressing needs and train future leaders. With your continued leadership in the FY2007 budget process, we can keep working towards our mutual goal of expanding national service so that every American will have the opportunity to serve their community and their country.

Strengthening America through National Service: Investing in AmeriCorps, Learn and Serve America, and the Senior Corps Thank you for supporting the hundreds of thousands of Americans who bring energy, skills and hope to communities from coast to coast through national service. Through AmeriCorps , Learn and Serve America and the Sen ior Corps, more than 1.6 million citizens of all ages are rolling up their sleeves to tutor and mentor children, build affordable housing, create playgrounds and parks, restore the environment, teach in underserved schools, build trails , care for elderly and homebound neighbors and provide critical services to low-income citizens. Our goal is to continue to grow the broad bipartisan support for national service that has emerged over the last decade. The recent unprecedented disaster in the Gulf Coast requires an unprecedented response to tap the desire to serve by the American people. National service can play a vital role in recovery and rebuilding, and can provide a vehicle through which communities and individuals can bridge social divides and begin to heal.

To continue our vital work to improve lives, strengthen communities , and foster civic engagement through service and volunteering, the Administration has requested a FY 2007 budget for the Corporation of $851 .5 million . The proposed budget will enable the Corporation to support 75,000 AmeriCorps members, approximately 500,000 Senior Corps volunteers, and some one million Learn and Serve America participants. In addition , the budget will allow the Corporation 's programs to mobilize and manage at least one million community volunteers, bringing to more than 2.5 million the total number of Americans engaged in community service through our programs. Click here read the full Congressional Budget Justification for Fiscal 2007 . The President is committed to national service; he is also committed to controlling spending and reducing the deficit. That entails some hard choices for discretionary spending. The budget proposes elim ination or sign ificant reduction of 141 programs across the government, including the AmeriCorps*NCCC program within the Corporation for National and Community Service. In the FY 2007 budget, the Corporation has a reduction of 5.4 percent, which adds up to $48 .5 million . More than half of that reduction comes from the proposed shut down of AmeriCorps*NCCC . Our goal with this budget request is to sustain our ability to meet key strateg ic goals, continue savings through management improvements, and raise our level of service to our partners and grantees . In all of these areas, I believe we succeeded in this proposal. Here is an overview of the Corporation 's 2007 request: • For Senior Corps , this budget requests $217 million , a continuation of the enacted budget for FY 2006. There are no reductions to Senior Corps programs: RSVP (Retired Senior Volunteer Program) continues at the FY 06 enacted funding of $59 .6 million ; the Foster Grandparent Program will continue the 2006 funding of $110 million ; and the Senior Companion Program will also hold steady at $46 .9 million . The funding will support more than 1,200 grantees and approximately 500,000 volunteers . • For AmeriCorps Grants and the National Service Trust combined , this budget requests $383.6 million . This level , when combined with the $95.4 million requested for AmeriCorps*VISTA and $13 million carried over from 2006, will support 75 ,000 members. • For AmeriCorps*NCCC , this budget requests only $4.9 million , which is intended to cover the cost of closing our campuses . This is a difficult decision, given the popularity of the program with our participants and partners, particularly in disaster response. However, the NCCC is costly compared to other AmeriCorps programs and was rated poorly in a recent Federal management assessment. The Corporation is committed to building up the rapid and flexible disaster recovery capacity of the NCCC within the rest of the national service portfolio. • The budget requests $34 .1 million for Learn and Serve America, an eight percent decrease from the 2006 enacted budget of $37 million . We expect this budget to support the participation of about 1.2 million students in 1,500 local service-learning programs . In addition, this budget proposes $1 .1 million for training and techn ical assistance, which will go to the National Service-Learn ing Clearinghouse. We are also proposing new funding of $400,000 for the Students in Service Initiative Support, which will promote the spread of service learn ing to more schools in America. http://www.cns.gov/assets/printable/printable_statements.asp?tbl_pr_id=248 2/13/2006 �Printable Page Page 2 of2 • In this budget environment, the Corporation will be increasing its focus on management excellence, seeking cost savings and efficiencies wherever possible. In that regard , this request increases the program administration fund s, largely for a one-time investment in information technology security upgrades and the consolidation of our administrative service centers, which will unfortunately mean the elimination of some staff positions. We believe, however, that these reforms will allow us to deliver a higher level of service at a lower cost over time. The release of the President's budget is just the first step in a long journey. Next come appropriations hearings in the House and Senate later th is spring , followed by committee mark-ups , floor consideration , conference committees , and more. I pledge to all of you that we will be open , transparent and quick to communicate with you as this situation develops.

Information on the 2004 - 2005 program y ear current as ofMay 3, 2005 �SFORNATIONALSERVICE The Honorable George W. Bush The White House 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, NW Washington, D .C. 20500 Dear Mr. President: On behalf of the national service community, we are writing to thank you for your commitment to AmeriCorps and Learn and Serve America and to request that you demonstrate continued support by proposing an increase for these programs in your fiscal year 2007 budget. While AmeriCorps and Learn and Serve are relatively small investments, both programs have made a profound impact on America's needs , contributing to community renewal and strengthening the ties that bind us together as a nation. Together AmeriCorps and Learn and Serve America provide a continuum of service opportunities from childhood through adulthood, and program continuity and growth is critical to their success. AmeriCorps has grown under your leadership, expanding by a historic 50% in 2004. However, since that record appropriation in FY04, funding for AmeriCorps State and National grants has been on a steady, persistent decline. From fiscal year 2004 to fiscal year 2006, grant support has been reduced by nearly 16 percent, $49 million. If this downward trend continues, many nonprofits - particularly those in rural and lowwealth communities where private sector funding is limited - will be forced to discontinue their AmeriCorps programs and the non-profit community will lose the valuable expertise and resources these programs offer. Declining programmatic support also makes your goal of 7 5,000 AmeriCorps members that much more elusive. We are very concerned that the combination of diminishing appropriations and rising operating costs will force the Corporation for National and Community Service to make programmatic compromises that will undermine the historic nature and fundamental character of AmeriCorps. The AmeriCorps program is a vital resource for our communities and Voices for National Service believes that it will require at least $442 million in grants and investments in the National Service Trust- the same level that you requested in fiscal year 2005 --to enable 75,000 members to serve while maintaining the historical balance between full-time, part-time, and Education award only AmeriCorps members. Since 1994, AmeriCorps has engaged more than 400,000 members in intensive service, working with more than 3,000 nonprofits, public agencies and faith-based organizations to address problems within four broad categories: "unmet human, educational, environmental, or public safety needs ." AmeriCorps members teach in underserved schools, tutor and mentor youth including the children of prisoners, run after-school programs, build affordable housing, prevent forest fires, and help communities respond to disasters . Hundreds of AmeriCorps state programs clean rivers and streams, enrich after school programs, support local law enforcement by providing meaningful alternatives to gangs, deliver services to the elderly, and meet other needs defUled by the communities in which they serve. This year, AmeriCorps members are serving more than two million children and youth, providing valuable resources to reach your goal of having all children able to read by third grade. They are also helping to recruit and train more than 600,000 community volunteers. Since September 11, 2001 the AmeriCorps program has expanded its work in public safety, public health, disaster relief, and homeland security; helping to prevent or mitigate the effects of man-made and natural disasters. In the wake of Hurricanes Katrina, Rita and Wilma, AmeriCorps programs joined local, state and national relief and recovery efforts to provide emergency assistance and long-term relief to the Gulf Coast region. More than 12,000 national service participants have responded to the disaster in the Gulf and across the nation by coordinating donations and volunteer management efforts, providing after-school activities for displaced school children, clearing debris, renovating and rehabilitating private homes and public buildings, and rebuilding communities. �Another Corporation for National and Community Service administered program, Learn and Serve America, distributes grants to elementary and secondary schools, colleges and community- and faith-based organizations to support and enable quality service-learning, which connects classroom lessons with meaningful service to the community. A report issued by the Corporation for National and Community Service last month found positive correlations between school-based service and student achievement, civic empowerment, interest in world events, and continued volunteering with organizations. Studies show that Learn and Serve America programs provide a return on investment of four dollars for each dollar invested. At an average cost of less than $25 per participant, this is an extremely costeffective federal education program, but one that must be consistently funded for students and communities to receive the greatest benefit. In FY05, you requested a small expansion in Learn and Serve America to support teacher training. This was first proposed increase in Learn and Serve funding since the program's inception, but the funds were not appropriated. This year, Congress actually passed a Labor-HHS Appropriations bill that reduced Learn and Serve funding to $37.5 million- a 12% cut in one year. At a time when the demand for service-learning by classrooms teachers is on a rise, the FY06 cuts will deny 200,000 students the opportunity to participate in these activities. After a decade of no growth, we request that you include $48 million for Learn and Serve America programs in your FY07 budget request, providing a modest $3 million increase for teacher training and $2 million for scientifically-based research. Simply restoring the existing program to $43 million will generate $172 million worth of services to local communities. We understand the difficult task you face trying to allocate limited government resources wisely. We must invest in programs that work and achieve positive results, and AmeriCorps and Learn and Serve do just that. Our members provide valuable assistance to children, adults and families in a variety of areas including education, the environment, public safety, public health, and housing, and federal support for national service leverages hundreds of millions more in public and private resources. Mr. President, we salute your commitment to unite Americans in an ethic of service, and AmeriCorps and Learn and Serve America are critical tools in your effort to meet pressing needs and train future leaders. With your continued leadership in the FY2007 budget process, we can keep working towards our mutual goal of expanding national service so that every American will have the opportunity to serve their community and their country.

Through AmeriCorps, Learn and Serve America and th e Sen ior Corps, more than 1.6 million citizens of all ages are rolling up thei r sleeves to tutor and mentor children, bu ild affordable housing, create playgrounds and parks, restore the environment, teach in underserved schools , bu ild t rails, care for elderly and homebound neighbors and provide critical services to low-income citizens. Our goal is to continue to grow the broad bipartisan support for national service that has eme rged over the last decade. The recent unp recedented disaster in the Gulf Coast requ ires an unprecedented response to tap the desire to serve by the American people. National service can play a vital role in recovery and rebuilding, and can provide a vehicle through wh ich communities and ind ividuals can bridge social divides and begin to heal. There are three cu rrent issues on which we want to share ou r views: We support the AmeriCorps D isaster Relief Corps Act of 2005, ca~sponsor~d by Senator Barack dbama and Representatives Harold Ford , Jr:, Tom Osborne, David Price, and Christophe'r: Shays which proposes to~ expand AmeriCorps by I0,000 members as a strategic response to the relief and recovery efforts in the Gulf Coast Region. T~ e Red Cross has called for 40,000 volunteers to ~ssist with recovery efforts; beyond direct service,'l}meriCorps can -· provide the infrastructu re, volunteer management and training necessary to effectively deploy volunteers. 4 meriCorps has a strong record of working with community and faith based organizations ~o improv,; public safety. 1public health, and emergency preparedness and response, and AmeriCorps programs can increase their level gf assistance_to die Gulf Coast and New Orleans communities with the addition of more ~meriCorps members> _~ FY06 Appropriations ~pproved by the Senate Appropriation~ Committee on July 14, 2005: $429 million for AmeriCorps and $42.6 million for Learn arq Seeye America: . 'f'le support funding levels for AmeriC.orps and Learn and Serve America as k •/. We believe that at this time,-when more Americans than ever before are stepping for.ward to serve their communities and -their country, funding for national service should not be reduced. If approved in conference, this appropriation will essentially provide level funding, helping to sustain the national service infra~tructure; and pr~viaing qj:>portuhitjes for more than 75,000 Americans serve and more than I million students to participat~ in servi_ce-lean1ihg acti~ities. > • to • • ·;·~. FY07 Appropriations 'f'/,e support the expansion of Am~riCorps in FY07 to 150,000, double the current enrollment of 75,006 member:S, and a growth in the approp'riation for Learn and Serve America to $46 million to support to supp.~rt scientifically~ based research and additional grants for local schools and communities. .: . ·' Seldom has there been a time in our nation's history when. service- military or civilian- has··been· of more critiCal importance to our nation's strength and security. National service programs achieve direct and demonstrable results, ' while they strengthen the ties that bind us together as a nation. Every federal dollar invested in AmeriCorps results in $1 .60 to $2.60 or more in direct, measurable benefits to · AmeriCorps members and the communities they serve. Increas ing investment in AmeriCorps and Learn and Serve America would allow more Americans to serve, and create greater capacity to meet critical community needs for the benefit of children, families, the elderly, and the environment. An increased investment would also enable AmeriCorps members to play a sustained role in Hu rricane Katrina recovery efforts in the Gulf Coast. Thank you fo r yo ur leadership an d suppo rt of nati onal servi ce; we hope that together we can continue to strengthen an d expand opportun ities for all Ameri can s to serve. www.VoicesForService.org �Resources National Service Information Serve Michigan Service Learning United Voices for National Service National Civilian Community Corps www .servemichigan.org www.servicelearningunited.org www.voicesforservice.org www.savenccc.org Federal/National Information Resources Federal Register (Where Executive Branch announces opportunities for input) http://www.gpoaccess.gov/fr/ U.S. Printing Office GPO Access (Where government publishes decisions) http://www .gpoaccess.gov/ United States Congress (Where U.S. House and Senate publishes decisions) http://thomas.loc.gov/ United States Supreme Court (Where the Judiciary decisions are posted) http://www.supremecourtus.gov/ Federal Grants (Where the federal government posts grant opportunities) http://www.grants.gov/ National Service (Where the federal government posts national service activities) http://www .cns.gov Independent Sector (Where the issues of non profits are published nationally) http://www.independentsector.org/ State Information Resources Michigan Government (Where the state posts Executive Branch activities) http://'tvww.michigan.gov Michigan Legislature (Where the Michigan House and Senate post their activities) http://www.legislature.mi.gov/ Michigan Courts (Where the state Judiciary decisions are posted) http://www.courts.michigan.gov/ National Service in Michigan (Where state government posts national service work) CNCS/Michigan: http://www.nationalservice.gov/about/role impact/state profiles detail.asp?tbl profiles state=MI Michigan Community Service Commission http://www.michigan.gov/mcsc Michigan Nonprofit Association (Where the state issues for non profits are published) http://www.mnaonline.org � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

We are pleased to host the 10th Annual Institute on Service Learning. It is particularly significant for us to be hosting this institute during the 10th anniversary year of our Center for Service Learning and School Partnerships. The University of Michigan-Flint is committed to being a good neighbor and community partner. Our campus is the perfect location to explore this year's theme, The Places We Live: Student Engagement in Diverse Communities. We are involved in several meaningful community and school partnerships. These partnerships offer our students the opportunity to be engaged in our urban community and to provide critical services and research to our partners. Together, we are working to graduate a new type of student- the civically committed student. As we move forward in to the next decade, we are committed to the three pillars that form the university's core mission: • Excellence in teaching, learning, and scholarship • Student centeredness Engaged citizenship As higher educational institutions continue to develop programs that promote civic engagement, it is critical to assess and evaluate our progress. I am particularly impressed with the service-learning clinics offered for the higher education audience as part of this year' s Institute. Special thanks are in order to Michigan Campus Compact for recognizing that assessment and continuous improvements are critical to these efforts on college campuses. I sincerely hope you find your visit to our campus pleasant and this year's Institute rewarding. Best Regards, Juan E.

Lieutenant Governor Cherry, Mr. Speaker, Mr. Majority Leader, members of the Legislature, distinguished guests, fellow citizens, my beloved family: Before I begin , I would like to recognize one more person - Melissa Dennis, wife of National Guardsman Anthony Dennis, Captain of the 125th Bravo Company serving in Iraq. I visited the 125th when I went to Iraq on Thanksgiving . Mrs. Dennis is here representing all of the families and soldiers who have put their lives on the line for us. Please join me in thanking her and all our Michigan heroes. State of the State addresses are traditionally formal affairs where the Governor talks policy with the Legislature . People with titles and expensive suits pack this ornate hall. With utmost respect to you , I ask your indulgence as I speak more directly tonight to our employers- the people of Michigan. I want to talk to the father who has worked for 30 years at a manufacturing plant who just got notice that his job as a welder has been outsourced to China. I want to talk to the waitress who dreams of sending her only daughter.to college but worries that she'll never be able to save enough to afford the tuition . I want to talk to the woman behind the counter at the dry cleaners where you picked up your suit to wear tonight, the woman who's sick but who can't afford to see her doctor. I want to talk to the worker at Delphi, at GM , at Chrysler, and at Ford. And I want to talk to the worker at the Ford Wixom plant. Tonight, I want to talk to the everyday people of Michigan, the people who built Michigan's schools and churches , its little leagues and Kiwanis Clubs. The people who power its economy and who only expect for themselves a fair opportunity to build a good life for their families . I want to talk to those who are fearful , and to those who are hopeful , and to many of you who are both. Wherever we live in Michigan, we know that as our auto industry struggles in this global economy, our people feel that pain more than in any other state in the country. Michigan, I am here to tell you : We have a detailed and comprehensive plan to grow this economy. We are working that plan . And everything in that plan will secure the opportunity for a good life for you and your family. In Michigan. Some will say, "How can you talk about a good life in Michigan when for over six years we have been losing manufacturing jobs -like the ones that Ford just announced?" Here's the answer: I will not stop working our plan until we create a Michigan where every one of you, from the autoworker to the homemaker to the nurse, has the opportunity to build that good life. The foundation of a good life, of course, is a good-paying job . But we know there are other critical building blocks . You need health care for your family. You need a quality education for your ch ildrenand, today, that means an affordable college education . And you need a government that fights for you, to protect your family, your home, your community. Many fear that good life is slipping away in Michigan as our economy faces unprecedented challenge. http://www .michigan.gov/printerFriendly/0, 1687,7-168--134956--,00.html 1/26/2006 �Working Our Plan, Securing Our Future Page 2 of 12 Tonight, I want you to know that our plan will meet that challenge because it, too, is unprecedented, both in detail and in scope . And I want to tell you how we will work that plan and move our state forward in four distinct ways: • We will protect you and your family and your financial security- all the more important during this time of economic transition . • We will give all of our ch ildren the education they need to succeed in the 21st century economy. We want the most educated workforce in the nation . • We will make health care more affordable and more accessible for hundreds of thousands of more people in Michigan . • And because the foundation of a good life IS the opportunity for a good job, I'll keep fighting to protect the jobs we have . I will go anywhere and do anything to bring jobs to th is state. And we'll diversify our economy by adding jobs in growing sectors . We have been working th is plan . We have been consistent, disciplined and unwavering in executing it. And it's already bearing fruit. Our efforts have created and retained 327,000 jobs that otherwise would have gone to some other state or - more likely- some other country. You hear all the time the bad news, so let me give you a couple of examples of our main successes in bringing jobs here: J&L Industrial Supply, the largest metal cutting distributor in America, is consolidating operations from Texas , North Carolina, and California in Southfield . Advanced Photon ix, a California technology firm, is moving its headquarters to Ann Arbor. Ohio-based Cobra Motorcycles is moving its headquarters to Hillsdale. And, let me introduce Greg Boll , CEO of Cummins Bridgeway- he moved factory jobs back to Michigan from Mexico because of the quality of Michigan 's workforce - with support from us, he chose to bring jobs home. Thank you for choos ing Michigan, Mr. Boll . International companies· are creating jobs in Michigan at a remarkable pace. In the past three years, German and Japanese compan ies created more than 10,000 jobs and invested $1 .7 billion in Michigan . Only two other states attracted more international investment than ours. Our domestic automakers , despite their own challenges , have invested over $9 billion in their Michigan facilities in the past three years. Because of our sustained efforts to keep and attract automotive research and development companies, Michigan has more employees and investments in that growing part of our economy than all of the other 49 states, plus Canada, plus Mexico comb ined . In the 12 months since I spoke here last, more than 1,600 new small businesses opened their doors in Mich igan. In fact, in 2005 we were named one of the friendliest states in America for small businesses. There are 99,000 more people working right now than when I first took office. And we are creating 30,000 jobs by accelerating nearly $3 billion in infrastructure projects across the state . Rather than waiting 10 years to get the work done, we'll fi nish it in the next three. Soon, everyone will live with in 30 minutes of an infrastructure project - from roads and bridges, to sewers, to upgraded nurs ing homes , to environmental cleanup sites . http://www .michigan.gov/printerFriendly/0, 1687,7-168--134956--,00. html 1126/2006 �Working Our Plan, Securing Our Future Page 3 of 12 If you are unemployed or need training to become employed, thanks to our Ml Opportunity Partnership, we're more successful than ever at training and placing unemployed people in good paying jobs that exist today in Michigan . People like Armenia Smith, a Detroit mom who lost her job but gained the training she needed to become a nurse. Armenia's just one of the 19,000 people we have already placed in good jobs. Mrs. Smith, thank you for being here. We are on track to place 30,000 unemployed people in jobs in the first year of the program. We will place 40 ,000 more in year two. We have focused an entire department of state government on giving workers the skills they need to take new jobs. So, you say, I see that you are training and placing thousands of people in jobs, and that you have attracted thousands of jobs to Michigan . But, you ask, what are you going to do to keep the jobs we have, and to make Michigan less reliant on the auto industry? Here's the answer: Michigan has the most aggressive economic plan of any state in the country. It is a bold $6 billion plan to grow jobs today and jobs tomorrow. Two of the most powerful pieces of this economic plan were just approved by this Legislature in the last two months. First, a bipartisan $600 million tax-cut package that will fight the outsourcing of our existing jobs and encourage the insourcing of new ones. And second , the 21st Century Jobs Fund, the product of almost unanimous bipartisan agreementthe largest investment in diversifying our economy this state has ever seen . It'll create tens of thousands of new jobs. We 'll invest more than $2 billion in public and private funds to develop new sectors of our economy: Advanced manufacturing. Homeland security and defense. Life sciences. Alternative energy. This effort will create all kinds of jobs for all kinds of people. Jobs that will not be outsourced . Jobs that will keep our children in Michigan. I know I said this speech was to the people, but let me just pause for a moment to thank you, the Legislature, for putting politics aside to put people first by approving this critical part of the plan . We are wasting no time in putting this powerful tool to work to create jobs . This month, we held 13 sessions across the state, explaining this fund to standing room only crowds of excited entrepreneurs and business people eager to grow their businesses. In a few months, we will begin making prudent investments in the diverse companies that will grow jobs in Michigan. And by this time next year, we'll see new businesses doing just that. In five years, you're going to be blown away by the strength and diversity of Michigan's transformed economy. ALTERNATIVE ENERGY Let.me touch on one of those groundbreaking areas of job growth that we're targeting- alternative energy. This is a big deal - CJnd a huge opportunity for Michigan. Innovators across the country are developing new ways to power our refrigerators , heat our homes, and fuel our cars. Power plants and engines fueled not only by coal or oil, but by, for example, hydrogen, the sun or the wind , or waste from landfills or farms. The Great Lakes State will be the alternative energy epicenter of America . Since we are the home of the automobile, it is our proud, patriotic duty to be the state that ends our nation's dependence on foreign oil. Our universities are already leaping into the alternative energy field . At Michigan State University, http://www.michigan.gov/printerFriendly/O, 1687,7 -168--134956--,00.htrnl 1/26/2006 �Working Our Plan, Securing Our Future Page 4 of 12 President Lou Anna Simon is positioning our state (and her Spartans) to lead the world in the new "bio-economy" - developing energy and other products from our agricultural sector. Kettering University in Flint, MAREC in Muskegon , and Next Energy at Wayne State all are leading in the development of alternative energies . If you went to the auto show, and I hope you did, you might have seen the national championship solar car developed by University of Michigan students; it tops out at 80 mph . We will use our 21st Century Jobs Fund to grow businesses here that put Michigan on the path to alternative energy leadership. And in the months ahead, we will form a statewide partnership among all of the alternative energy research and development institutions in Michigan , and we will dramatically increase the demand in our state for alternative sources of energy to bring those kinds of businesses to Michigan . We will continue to reach for the vision of a nation independent of foreign oil - a nation powered by Michigan's green businesses, Michigan innovation , and Michigan workers . GOING ANYWHERE, DOING ANYTHING TO BRING JOBS TO MICHIGAN In the year ahead, I will continue to go anywhere and do anything to bring jobs to Mich igan . Instead of seeing our jobs outsourced to China or India or Mexico, I'm going to continue to bring jobs home . In 2004 and 2005, the destinations were Germany and Japan . When tourists go overseas, they bring back souven irs . We brought back jobs . German companies- Behr Industries, Eberspacher, and Bosch -are hiring people in Kent County, Brighton , and Plymouth . Our Japan trip brought commitments for hundreds of more new jobs from Denso, Tokai Rika, Hitach i Automotive, and others. This year, whether we are courting life science leaders in Boston , technology leaders in California, homeland security businesses in Washington , or their counterparts in Europe or Asia, I will tell each of them this : there's no better place on the planet to grow your business than right here in Michigan . Fighting for the Jobs We Have In addition to bringing jobs home, I'll continue my fight to keep the jobs we have right here in Michigan . On this point, let me be very clear: We will grow new segments of our Michigan economy. But we will not concede the automotive industry to any other state or nation. We are the state that put America on wheels- the state that put the "car'' in NASCAR. There is no vision for Michigan 's new economy that does not include cars designed, engineered , and made in Mich igan . The industry's chang ing -but we in Michigan cannot- will not- abandon it. And we should not allow our government in Wash ington to abandon it either. Believe me, Michigan will continue to do everything in its power to support our manufacturing sector. We know state government has a role to play. But as manufacturing CEOs have repeatedly told me: No state can fix this problem .alone . No state can adopt or enforce trade agreements . No state can impact the nation 's laws on pensions. The leadership in Washington must be our partner in respond ing to the crushing challenges of a global economy. A partner. Not a bystander. Our bipartisan Congressional delegation agrees . We all owe thanks for the leadership of our Senators Carl Levin and Debbie Stabenow and Deans of the House, Congressmen John Dingell and Fred Upton , who are fighting for a federal partnersh ip to help our manufacturing sector. I'll continue to ca ll on our President to craft a un iquely American solution to health care and pension http://www.michigan.gov/printerFriendly/0, 1687,7-1 68--134956--,00.html 1/26/2006 �Working Our Plan, Securing Our Future Page 5 of 12 reforms to make our nation's manufacturers competitive with other countries . I've called on the administration in Washington to enact fair trade policies, not trade policies that help other countries grow jobs while ours are outsourced . Michigan workers make the best products in the world . We're not afraid of trade. I say "bring it on." But it must be fair trade. Fair to our businesses. Fair to our workers. Fair to our country. As long as I am your Governor, no state will fight harder to keep our manufacturing jobs. Slash Bureaucracy and Streamline I'll also continue to do everything I can to make our state more friendly to job providers. We will continue to slash the red tape that entangles businesses. Michigan is already the first state in the nation to offer environmental permits online -a step that has cut air quality permitting time for businesses by 66 percent. This year, we'll cut in half the time it takes for new employers to open their doors as a Michigan business- and we'll do it online. We'll nearly double the number of business permits available online. A state that can balance its books and maintain a high quality of life is a state that will attract businesses and jobs. I'm proud that we've resolved $4 billion in budget deficits without a general tax increase. And proud that I've signed 51 tax-cuts into law, both for individuals and to help businesses create jobs, without leaving gaping holes in our budget. I've also made it clear that· I will not support business tax breaks that would shift the burden to everyday citizens or force cuts to education and health care. The main reason we've been able to do more with less in state government is because our state workers are, without a doubt, second to none. Please join me in honoring and thanking these incredibly dedicated public servants. As part of our economic plan, last year I ordered our departments to buy Michigan first. Today, more than 85 percent of what the State of Michigan buys is sold to us by Michigan companies, and we're proud to support the home team. Before I leave this discussion of supporting our businesses, I want to underscore the importance of supporting the cities they call home. In my budget presentation next month, I will offer cities a major incentive to partner on significant economic development projects. Partner with the state. Partner with the private sector. And partner with other municipalities to encourage regional collaboration for major economic development and jobs projects. It will create construction jobs today. It will promote regional cooperation . And it will enhance our cities. And let me pause on our largest city. For the past two weeks, Detroit has showcased the world's premiere auto show. It was on TV across the nation . it was a reflection of Michigan. And next week, the Super Bowl spotlight will shine on the Motor City. It will be on TV around the world . It will be a reflection of Michigan . Mayor Kilpatrick, welcome. The entire state needs and wants Detroit to be successful. We all have to work together to see it happen. So, to those who practice the politics of division , who would drive a wedge between the city and the state, let me say this: http://www.michigan.gov/printerFriendly/O, 1687,7-168--134956--,00.html 1/26/2006 �Working Our Plan, Securing Our Future Page 6 of 12 The only thing that should come between Detroit and Michigan is a comma. Period. Let me turn to two other issues related to our economic growth. Making health care more affordable and accessible, and ensuring that our children have the education to succeed in this new economy. MAKING HEALTH CARE MORE AFFORDABLE AND ACCESSIBLE Create a Michigan First Health Care Plan We have already expanded health care in Michigan . Beginning this year, we w ill revolutionize it. Our first step is a quantum leap : We will provide access to quality, affordable health care for 550,000 people . We'll create a new insurance product in this state: the Michigan First Health Care Plan . The concept is simple : Give families who otherwise could not afford health insurance access to a basic, low-cost health care plan through a private insurance company. We will offer this plan through a new financial partnership with the federal government. Michigan First will cover the small business employee who doesn't get coverage through work and doesn't qualify for Medicaid. It will cover the self-employed worker who can't otherwise afford to purchase a private plan . It will allow us to provide mental health services- because it is as important to cover mental health as it is physical health . And this will make Michigan the state with the highest percentage of its population insured . If you already have insurance, you may be asking yourself, "Why does this matter to me?" Because Michigan First will save you money, too. Having fewer uninsured people reduces the costs of insurance for everyone- you pay an extra $730 per year for the cost of your insurance just to cover people who are uninsured. The more people who are insured , the less everyone pays. Bring health care delivery into the 21st century The second step in our plan to provide more affordable, better quality health care is to bring health care delivery into the 21st century. In Michigan , we'll help our health care industry stop depending on your memory and their paper records as databanks. We are going to use technology to vastly improve the system. In the future, you will be able to give your pharmacist, your doctor, or the emergency room immediate access to your information, but you will control who sees it and what it is used for. Think about" it, never having to remember the name of the medicines you 've been prescribed. Never having to fill out another form detailing your medical history, your allergies and the last time your 10year-old got a tetanus shot. In December, I convened a new Michigan Health Information Network of health care and technology professionals to develop that new network. Already, pilot projects are up and running in Southeast Michigan, right here in Lansing , and in the Upper Peninsula . This investment in information technology will reduce errors, reduce duplication , reduce insurance costs, and increase your medical privacy. http://www .michigan. gov/printerFriendly/0, 1687,7 -168--1 34956--,00.html 1126/2006 �Working Our Plan, Securing Our Future Page 7 of 12 Encourage Healthy Lifestyles and Personal Responsibility Third : Quality, affordable health care requires a healthy initiative by citizens to make lifestyle changes . We can decrease the rates of preventable diseases, like diabetes, lung cancer, and heart disease, by changing our eating habits, giving up smoking habits, and getting into the exercise habit. In this year, we will continue to implement current strategies targeted at encouraging personal respons ibility for healthy lifestyles and outcomes for all Michigan citizens by incorporating and extending the principles supported by Michigan's Surgeon General in the Michigan Steps Up initiative. These principles include focus on healthy behaviors through better eating habits, getting regular exercise, and avoiding tobacco use. Tonight, I'm charging the Departments of Community Health, Labor and Economic Growth , and Education; the Surgeon General; and business leaders to lead our state in developing lasting, local public-private partnerships among schools , corporations, foundations, the faith-based community, public health, health care, and community organizations . These partnerships will help foster a culture of physical activity, prevention , and wellness in our communities, workplaces, and schools. Remove Limits on Stem Cell Research in Michigan If we are truly serious about improving both the cost and quality of health care in this state, we must tap the full power of modern science to combat life-threatening illnesses. Imagine having to watch your child suffer with juvenile diabetes. Imagine watching your wife lose her ability to speak, and walk, and even eat, as her Parkinson's worsens . Stem cell research holds the promise for finding cures and for improving the lives of thousands of people. Talented researchers and businesses around the world are working right now on those cures .. .but we can't recruit them to Michigan to do their work because of the limits Michigan law puts on them. When human lives are at stake, we should lead the nation in this work, not put obstacles in our own path . Tonight, I am asking you , our Legislature, to join with me in supporting this search for cures. Pass Representative Meisner's bill to remove the limits on stem cell research in Michigan, and do it now. INVEST IN KIDS TO ENSURE THEIR FULL POTENTIAL; CREATE THE BEST-EDUCATED WORKFORCE IN THE NATION Now, when it comes to education, we will have one overarching goal : to become the best-educated workforce in the nation. To do that, we will give our children the tools they need to be successful in the classroom and in the 21st century economy. As your governor, my position has been clear. I believe in the promise of public education , and I'll fight those who would break that promise . I'm proud that we have increased our investment in our public schools to record levels . But I have also said this: While we will continue to invest more in our schools, we also have to expect more of them . So, in the year ahead, we'll do two things: We'll set the bar high for our students and teachers , and we'll ensure they have the tools and skills they need to clear that bar. http://www.michigan.gov/printerFriendly/O, 1687,7-168--134956--,00.html 1/26/2006 �Working Our Plan, Securing Our Future Page 8 of 12 Create a Michigan Promise with a New Merit Award Scholarship First, we must make sure that every parent who's watching tonight can afford to send their children to college . To achieve our goal of a workforce that's second to none, we must be first when it comes to giving citizens access to higher education. Last year, I proposed allowing every child in Michigan who continues their education beyond high school to earn a $4,000 new Merit Award Scholarship- not just those who pass a standardized test in high school. Just weeks ago, we all watched as the Kalamazoo Promise changed the dynamic of public education in that community . Through the tremendous generosity of private donors, all ch ildren who attend Kalamazoo Public Schools will grow up knowing that the ir college tuition is paid for. As we celebrate the Kalamazoo Promise, let's change that dynamic in every commun ity in Michigan . Our new Merit Award Scholarship will create a Michigan Promise right now. A promise that every ch ild in Michigan will -for the first time in this state's history- have the financial means to go to college. And, therefore, a promise to anyone who wants to build a business and grow jobs that Michigan will have the nation's most highly educated workforce. It has been a year since I put the new Merit Award Scholarship before .this group, and it is even more critical to Michigan's future today than it was then. Tonight, Michigan's citizens, you should ask this Legislature: "Why are you waiting?" An Agenda for Strong Schools Making higher education affordable is half the equation . Let me lay out the rest. First, we're toughening the requ ired curriculum for high schools . Right now in Michigan , we require only one course for our high school graduates : a single semester of civics. Only one-third of the students who graduate from our high schools right now have taken the math, science, and communication courses we know they'll need to compete in our new economy. That is why I called for the creation of a required core curriculum for all Michigan high school students. I applaud both our State Superintendent Mike Flanagan and our State Board of Education for recommending what that curriculum should be. To ensure that it can be in place by September, this Legislature needs to give that new curriculum the force of law-before March. So we will set the bar high , but we'll invest in our classrooms to make sure your ch ild can clear that bar, too. In the budget I'll introduce next mon th, I'll call for a sign ificant new investment in education, and I'll focus that investment on student learning. For you who have 6th , 7th and 8th graders, know that we will increase after school programs to give middle schoolers extra hours of learning focused on math , science and computer technology. We want them to be prepared when they get to that tougher high school curriculum . For those of you who have babies and toddlers , know that we'll invest in greater support for early http://www.michigan.gov/printerFriendly/O, 1687,7-168-- 134956--,00.html 1/26/2006 �Working Our Plan, Securing Our Future Page 9 of 12 childhood learning . We know that the biggest opportunity to secure your baby's success later in life comes early- before your little one even enters kindergarten . So even in these tight budget times, we'll increase the size of our pre-school program for four-year-olds significantly. For every parent -with children at every school age -we will make sure that you know early if your child is falling behind . When something's not going right for your child in school, you want to know right away, so you can help right away, not after they've been falling behind for weeks. In the year ahead , we'll ask our school districts to give prompt notification to parents whenever a child's grades dip or attendance slips. And I'll ask this Legislature to write these requirements into law. Parents make a world of difference in their children's performance in school when they have the information to act. We'll also work to make sure that your children are safe in their schools. No child in Michigan should have to be the victim of a schoolyard bully, and no child should have their learning disrupted by a child who's unruly. That's why, tonight, I am urging this Legislature to require every school district in Michigan to have tough and effective anti-bullying policies. I've also asked Superintendent Flanagan to require that Michigan's teachers learn how to run disciplined, orderly classrooms before they even leave their teacher training programs . Michigan is blessed with dedicated teachers who'll hit even greater heights when we give them the tools they need to keep kids focused on learning . The challenge of creating strong schools for this new century will not wait. It demands action now. It calls for both new investment and new direction. PROTECTING OUR FAMILIES AND THEIR WAY OF LIFE Quality education for our children . Affordable and accessible health care. Good-paying jobs. These are the things that we all want in Michigan. And this good life we work so hard to create is worth protecting. There are those who believe we should simply let people fend for themselves in a tough world and let the chips fall where they may. I'm not one of them . Tonight, let me share some of the work we'll do to protect you, your family, and your financial security. First, let us increase the minimum wage in Michigan . You who are working in minimum wage jobs have not had a raise for nine years. Even the Legislature got a raise since then . I pledge to you this evening, those workers will get that increase this year. I was the first person in the state to sign the petition to put this question on the ballot in November. I'll be the first to vote yes. If this Legislature is not willing to raise the minimum wage in our state, the voters of Michigan will. Second, we'll make it more affordable for you to pay your heating bills. We have set aside money for emergency assistance for those struggling to pay their bills this season. Earlier this month , I asked our Public Service Commission to set aside an additional $25 million for home heating help this yearthey've agreed . We will not allow those on fixed incomes to choose between heating and eating this winter. http://www.michigan.gov/printerFriendly/O, 1687,7 -168--134956--,00.html 1/26/2006 �Working Our Plan, Securing Our Future Page 10 of 12 Third, I ask the Legislature to pass measures that will demand high standards of corporate responsibility from any business that seeks a state grant, a tax cred it, or a state contract. We are blessed in Michigan with countless businesses who know what it means to be good corporate citizens. But we should not use your tax dollars to enrich the bad actors - the companies that incorporate in off-shore tax havens, violate U.S. pension laws and international labor standards. We should ensure that your dollars go to creating jobs here in Michigan, not moving jobs overseas. And while we're asking corporations to be responsible: Fourth , I urge the Legislature to pass strong ethics legislation for politicians and candidates for office. The citizens, our bosses, the ones who hired us - you deserve to know that your interests are being represented by the people you elect. Last month, I introduced a series of ethics reforms that will require public officials to disclose their personal financial information so taxpayers know elected officials are working for the public, not enrich ing themselves . Fifth, we will protect our senior citizens. I urge the Legislature to protect our seniors by passing legislation requiring criminal background checks for those who provide elder care and employees of nursing homes in our state. Sixth, give Michigan citizens a break on the costs they pay for their home and auto insurance. This year my administration started a first-of-its-kind pooling program for citizens who live in our cities and who traditionally pay the state's highest insurance rates just because their address reads Detroit or Flint. But pilot programs aren't enough -we have to reduce the cost of insu~ance in every city- and , frankly , in every driveway across the state. Democrats introduced a package of bills that would roll back insurance rates by 20 percent. It will give the Insurance Commissioner's office the teeth it needs to find- and penalize - compan ies that are charging too much . Pass that package- not because I asked you to, but because everyday citizens need us to. Seventh, I urge this legislature to enact new protections against identity theft in Michigan. Today with an ever-increasing amount of our personal information stored in the computer systems of corporations, Michigan consumers are at risk like never before. Today, compan ies are not required to tell consumers when the security of their personal information has been compromised . That is why I am asking you to enact the strongest notification law in the country. In addition , I call on you to pass legislation that has been introduced by both Senator Jacobs and Representative Angerer that will give consumers the power to freeze their credit report in the event of identity theft. And let us also pass tough new penalties for criminals who perpetrate this hightech crime. Eighth, I ask you to protect the children of Michigan by enacting legislation that will allow us to crack down on those who expose them to the production of life-threatening methamphetamines. Last year I signed legislation restricting over-the-counter sales of ingredients used in meth Jabs. The legislation I send to you this year will allow us to charge those who expose children to meth Jabs with statutory child abuse, because that is what it is . Ninth, I ask you to take prompt action to protect those who every day put their lives on the line to protect us - the men and women who serve in our National Guard and military Reserves. I strongly support new legislation th at would increase penalties on businesses that refuse to give our service members their old jobs when they return from duty. http ://www .michigan.gov/printerFriendly/O, 1687 ,7-168--134956--,00.html 1126/2006 �Working Our Plan, Securing Our Future Page 11 of 12 It may be impossible to calculate the debt we owe to those who risk their lives for their country, but this we do know. We owe them the right to return to their lives and their jobs in Michigan. Tenth, join my call for a national cap on exorbitant oil company profits. The families of our state are being squeezed by the high cost of gasoline while the oil companies are earning jaw-dropping profits. This is not a partisan issue. It is a Michigan issue. I ask you all to stand with me and the families of our state, not the oil giants. Finally, many of you listening tonight who work for small businesses do not have a pension plan . My administration will design and open a 401 (k) plan, like the state's plan, for those workers of small companies who don't offer a pension plan. At minimal expense to state government, we will help tens of thousands of Michigan workers save for their retirement and achieve economic security . If those in this room can have a pension plan , thanks to the citizens, certainly those same citizens who are watching tonight ought to be able to have one, too. CONCLUSION So, my friends, as I've said tonight, we have much to do. A comprehensive plan to create jobs today and tomorrow, to give you and your family affordable health care, to give your children the best education in the nation, and to protect people and defend their opportunity for a good life. Michigan was built on the hard work of everyday people, and I'll fight to protect the opportunity that hard work has won every day. So while I've talked a lot about the work before us, let me be clear: there is certainly a lot to love about Michigan just as she is . Like the incredibly dedicated Michigan soldiers and their families who we began by honoring tonight. The communities that celebrate the soldiers' return with potluck dinners and yellow ribbons . The Lenten fish fries and church BBQs. The kids in neighborhoods across the state holding lemonade sales for tsunami victims they will never know. Fishing on a quiet lake at dawn. Going to a cottagemaybe even building or owning one- Up North and lazing in an Adirondack chair on the porch with the sun on your face, smelling the white pine trees . Being able once in a while to afford a Wings or Pistons game. Or vacationing on Lake Michigan , eating a Pronto Pup hotdog on the beach with the sand in between your toes . This plan is about fighting to protect your opportunity for that middle class way of life. It's our Michigan version of the American dream. It's about a Michigan where everyday people can afford to take care of their family's health. It's about a Michigan where everyday people know they'll have a peaceful , secure retirement. This is about a Michigan where any child really can go to college and have a better life than her parents did. This is about a dynamic Michigan whose ancestors were not afraid to believe that one day there might be a Mustang on four wheels, not four hooves. This is about a Michigan whose engineers can harness the power in alternative fuels, whose doctors will develop cures for cancer, whose businesspeople are excited this very minute about designing offices, creating jobs, and selling products that we don't even have a name for. http://www .michigan.gov/printerFriendly/0, 1687,7 -168--134956--,00.htrnl 1126/2006 �Working Our Plan, Securing Our Future Page 12 of 12 We love the Mich igan that is, and the Mich igan that will be.

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

The primary purpose of the Census is to understand the scope and nature of mentoring and mentoring organizations in Michigan. There have been three waves of the Census. Wave I collected information from January 1, 2004 through August 31, 2004, Wave II was September 1, 2005 through February 28, 2005 and Wave Ill information covered January 1, 2005 through August 31 , 2005. This report includes pnly the Key Findings from the Wave Ill of the Census. To view the complete report, visit www.mentormichigan.org and click on "Program Resources." Number of Current Mentors Since the Census began, there has been steady growth in the number of active mentors in Michigan. 0 5,000 10,000 15,000 Key Findings from Wave Ill of the Mentor Michigan Census • More than 30,000 Michigan youth benefited from having a mentor in 2005. • 123 organizations completed the Census. • Mentoring organizations responding to the Census are located in 40 of Michigan's 83 counties . Mentoring Program Site While there are more community-based programs, more children are served through school-based programs. IJ Community-based • School-based IJ Faith-based DBusiness •other �Types of Mentoring Team Group mentoring consists of one adult to no more than four youth .

The Standards are in place in order for youth to receive the most beneficial and productive results from a mentoring relationship. The standards will help parents and guardians as well as those running mentoring programs understand what quality mentoring looks like. In Wave Ill , the MMC compiled data on the implementation of the Standards.

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

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