SNAPSHOTS OF SERVICE Blanketing the Community with Warmth! Carson City -Crystal, Michigan students and community members took pleasure in participating in the first ever combined Mentor Recognition event and Martin Luther King Jr. service project. First Gentleman Daniel G. Mulhern provided a brief keynote and presented awards to mentors. "This was a day to recognize the impact and importance ofmentoring," said Kelly Pringle, Carson City's Learn and Serve and Mentoring Coordinator. "It was also a day to encourage others in the audience who Carson City -Crystal students at mentoring are not currently mentors to become one." The event with First Gentleman Daniel Mulh ern audience, made up of approximately 150 mentors, mentees, teachers, business owners, retirees, and dignitaries, shared their thoughts about making a difference in their community and their desire to help children succeed through mentoring. "They care about our students, our community, and teaching kids to give back to others," said Pringle. As a culmination to the day's Learn and Serve and LEAGUE events, audience members were also engaged in making 40 blankets for those in need in the community. �A Day On ... Not A Day Off City Year sponsored its seventh annual Martin Luther King Day of Service. More than 400 volunteers -- middle and high school students, parents, and community members -- served together. They were led by City Year's young adult corps members, to commemorate and continue Dr. King's legacy of social justice and service. Projects included preparing and serving meals to the homeless, sorting donations to be given to needy families, pre-building houses at Habitat for Humanity, packing books and assembling art kits for Detroit Public School children, facilitating craft projects with senior citizens, and educating about and installing smoke alarms. Partners included Downriver CARES and the readetroit corps (AmeriCorps programs) as well as numerous other Detroit area nonprofits. Kalamazoo County Poverty Reduction Initiative: Poverty Simulation Coordinated by an AmeriCorps VISTA member, this awareness program educated community members about poverty-related challenges as well as available local resources. Faith in Youth Partnership This AmeriCorps program gathered youth together for a day of discussion and creativity. Each AmeriCorps member brought 3-5 youth from the community. They shared the quotes of Martin Luther King Jr. , made origami boxes to which they tied the quotes, and they then delivered the boxes to homes in the community. Community Peace March Davenport University participated in a local community peace march held at the community college. Students were bussed to the site, walked in the march, and then attended the Community Peace program that highlighted local area talent. University students also created bookmarks with quotes from Dr. King that were distributed during the program. On campus there was a variety of programming that included the "I have a dream speech" on TV monitors and quotes around the building to help honor the day and increase the awareness of Dr. King's accomplishments. Davenport houses a Michigan Campus Compact AmeriCorps VISTA.

Members of the MCSC are asked to declare actual or potential conflict of interest situations at the start of each meeting where the agenda indicates such a conflict will occur. If a conflict of interest situation develops during MCSC discussion, the Commissioner with the conflict is expected to notify the Chairperson. A conflict of interest is defined as a situation where a member of the MCSC or their wife, husband, son, daughter, mother, father, brother, brother-in-law, stepbrother, sister, sisterin-law, stepsister, daughter-in-law, mother-in-law, father-in-law, son-in-law, aunt, uncle, niece, nephew, grandparents, stepparent, stepchild, or grandchild is serving or has served in the last year as a trustee, officer, director, or employee in an entity which is requesting approval of a grant from the MCSC or any other family or professional relationship which a Commissioner at his/her own discretion deems a conflict of interest. 2. Any members of the MCSC with a conflict will be called on by the Chairperson to explain the conflict. The MCSC member will then be excused by the Chairperson while other members of the MCSC discuss the application and vote its acceptance or denial as well as other grant applications under the same program. Following action on the grant request, the Commissioner may return to the MCSC work. 3. MCSC members who are unsure about a conflict of interest situation should discuss their concerns with the Chairperson prior to the meeting where the conflict might occur. 4. If this restriction creates a situation in which the MCSC does not have enough eligible voting members to achieve a quorum, the MCSC may involve the normally excluded member subject to the following conditions: a) The Chairperson will randomly and in a non-discretionary manner select the number of recused members to achieve a quorum; b) Notwithstanding the above, no MCSC member may, under any circumstances, participate in any discussions or decisions regarding a grant application submitted by an organization, which he/she is or was affiliated according to the definition above. c) If recused members are included so as to achieve a quorum, the MCSC must document the event and report it to the appropriate state, federal or private grant making entity within 30 days of the vote. �5. In addition, MCSC members are restricted from directly assisting organizations of which they are a trustee, director, officer, or employee in preparing a grant application to theMCSC. In general, the MCSC wants to err on the side of too stringently enforcing conflict of interest policies in order to assure that both the fact and the perception of any unethical conduct is avoided. I, the undersigned agree to adhere to the above policy and procedure.

Participants in the AmeriCorps, VISTA, NCCC, Senior Corps, and Learn and Serve America programs have significantly improved their communities by helping to build affordable housing, engaging young children in service learning projects, mentoring young people, and providing meals and social services. For example, in 2006 and 2007 AmeriCorps members in Michigan completed more than 700,000 hours of service, including engaging almost 2,600 students in service learning and tutoring more than 5,300 youth. And, after completing their full term of service, these members earned $1.5 million in full education awards . James C.

Last year (2007) we raised $185,000 (gross) and netted approximately $100,000. The money we netted we offered in the form of grants and/or cash awards to programs we monitor. A lot of the funding went to urban-surface learning initiatives. Janet Lawson suggested several years ago that we make GSA a special event but it takes a lot of work. What if we did something like this intimate event here at the Governor' s residence o I.e. a family celebration/backyard BBQ o Donors/sponsors would be invited as well o Offer a bigger, more lengthy video presentation How does that work for you? Carolyn Bloodworth - CMS Energy/Consumers Energy I like the event at the Fox Theater, but if we can free up more money to go to programs, as a sponsor I'd rather see that. Chris Kwak- W.K. Kellogg Foundation I understand the financial situation but have we gotten feedback from the GSA attendees and how they feel about the event? Kat Robinson - MCSC Staff They think it is an awesome event and they love the recognition. They also like that it's an opportunity for them to bring lots of family. Allnie Morgan -Tuesday Toolmen The event at the Fox Theater was wonderful, it gave our recipients the opportunity to say, "I'm on stage with the Governor." Anton Chastang- Henry Ford Health System Marketing Department I think it would be nice to host an event here and receive a personal invite to the Governor's residence. Larry Williamson - Comcast I like both ideas. I think the intimacy is nice at the Governor's residence. We could get more involved in using clips (from DVDs) to get the message out there. Perhaps there are things Comcast could help with - Video On-Demand (digital product). �Bill Kordenbrock- EDS Having it at the Fox Theater is a great marquee event. But you'll get hits about GSA throughout the year by spreading the money out and providing it to programs. Scott Burgess- Blue Cross Blue Shield, Accident Company of America?? Having the event at the Fox Theater is nice and the recognition of sponsorship is just icing on the cake. These events only have so long of a shelf life so I think it's nice to mix it up . Marvin Beatty- Greektown Casino The beauty of the event is a product/end result. Real value might be getting invited to the Governor s residence. Winston Feeheley- DTE Utilize your money by having the event at the Governor's residence. Scott Aldrich- Tuesday Toolmen I'd like to see more localization; the video could help with that. Joseph Sowmick- Saginaw Chippewa Indian Tribe of Michigan We have to look at financials and logistics. If the event is in the center of the state you gain more excitement. Acts from the Soaring Eagle Casino are available. It's not a bad idea to change it up . Annie Morgan -Tuesday Toolmen What about something different like visiting cities throughout the year, all the winners of GSA do that to talk about mentoring and volunteering. Clair Branch -Tuesday Toolmen Money to different programs would be ideal. There are a lot of people we can't help because they aren't seniors. Mary Zatina- Oakwood Health Care System I love the Fox event, I would be more inclined to support this event as we've got 2,000 volunteers at Oakwood and I'd love them all to be able to be there. I couldn't bring 2,000 people to the Governor's residence. There's more hype at the Fox event. Mary Grill- MCSC Staff Maybe we could do a better job of filling seats with the help of sponsors (vo lunteers/guests). � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

One hundred and thirty six mentoring organizations operating 213 distinct programs report that they have matched 28,393 children with a mentor during the last year. This represents the largest number of children having mentors in the state 's history, though just slightly more than were counted last year. • With 220 organizations in the Mentor Michigan Registry, this survey achieved a 62% response rate. This is the highest ever recorded for the MMC. As there are organizations that did not report, it is reasonable to estimate that there are more than 35,000 mentoring relationships in the state of Michigan in 2007. • Wave V of the MMC documents 20,603 active mentors. Similar to above, this is the largest number of mentors ever counted in the state of Michigan. It compares to 16,382 mentors counted last wave , an increase of 4,221 new active mentors, continuing the steady jncreases observed during each wave of the MMC. Number of Active Mentors Wave I vs. Wave II vs. Wave Ill vs. Wave IV vs. Wave V Wave I 10,546 Wave II Wave Ill 20,603 WaveV 0 • 5,000 10,000 15,000 20,000 25,000 Measuring another way confirms that the number of mentoring relationships in Michigan is growing. The table below shows that 51% of mentoring organizations report an increase while only 15% report a decrease in number of children matched. Among those organizations reporting an increase, in aggregate, the number matched with a mentor has increased by 3,910 since one year ago. Among those reporting a decrease , the aggregate number of matches is down 1,078. This yields a net change of 2,832 additional children matched with mentor since last year at this time . Kahle Research Solutions Page 1 �Mentor Michigan Census Wave V: Executive Summary • The number of inquiries to become a mentor received by Michigan's mentoring organizations is down slightly after last year's all time high . This year, there were more than 15,000 inquiries compared to about 17,000 inquiries that were counted during Wave IV. Yet, more of these are serious inquires leading to written applications. More than 9,000 written applications were received this year, compared to 8,000 last year. The data below shows the monthly averages of inquires and written applications received over the five census waves. Mentor Inquiries and Applications Monthly Averages: Wave I vs. Wave II vs. Wave Ill vs. Wave IV vs. Wave V 1~0 ~--------------------------- 1460 ____________~ •Inquiries 0 Applications 1/1/04-8/31 /04 1/1/04-12/31 /04 1/1/05-8/31 /05 Wave I Wave II Wave Ill 9/1/05-8/31 /06 9/1/06-8/31 /07 Wave IV WaveV Screening • Many mentoring organizations have improved their screening procedures. This year, slightly more organizations are conducting federal criminal background checks (33% compared to 27% last wave) . Similarly, more organizations are using the sex offender registry, child abuse registry, conducting personal character reference checks , checking employment references and conducting home visits and home assessments. Still 3% report that they do none of these to screen mentors. Mentor Demographics • For the first time, this year's MMC shows a substantial increase in the number of boys , especially African-American boys, being mentored. This is, in part, a result of more male mentors being recruited and more cross-race matching . Waiting Lists • There are nearly 3,500 hundred children on waiting lists to be matched with a mentor and more than 1,800 mentors on waiting lists to be matched with a child . Assuming same gender matching , more than 1,000 male mentors need to be recruited to befriend boys currently on waiting lists, more than half of these men of color (assuming same race matching). Kahle Research Solutions Page 2 �Mentor Michigan Census, Wave V Key Insights and Process Recommendations Key Insights • The overall number of mentors increased substantially, but the number of children served stayed about the same compared to last year. More one to one mentoring, changes in the organizations responding to the census, and more emphasis placed on counting mentors (rather than children served) all likely contribute to this apparent anomaly. • Recruitment efficiency has improved, but the number of inquiries is down from last year. Success in the recruitment of men and people of color is starting to appear in the census numbers as we see increases in both male mentors and African-American mentors. Yet, recruitment efficiency is poorest in Southeast Michigan where the need for more mentors is greatest. • There is substantial geographic mismatch and a lack of coordination among oth mentors and children -on waiting lists mentoring programs, as there are-b_ in every region in the state. Mismatches appear to be greatest in MidMichigan and Southeast Michigan. • Growth in mentoring relationships and organizational capacity is greatest in the Grand Rapids/Muskegon and Flint/Saginaw areas. Southeast Michigan, especially the tri-county continues to under perform in terms of growth in mentoring relationships and capacity. For the population center of the state, coordination and collaboration is not nearly as good as it needs to be. • Use of screening tools remains strong as 8 out of 10 organizations perform state criminal background checks and 33% conduct federal criminal background checks. Substantial numbers of programs are requiring written applications and conducting personal reference checks. Still, 3% of organizations report that they do none of the above. • Measures of program duration and intensity show some improvement. Programs having no minimum time for the mentoring relations dropped and those requiring a minimum duration of 12 months increased substantially. The message about the potential negative consequences of short term mentoring appears to be getting through. • Satisfaction with Mentor Michigan remains strong as 85% report they are very or somewhat satisfied. A small percentage (5%) report being not very or not at all satisfied with MM. Awareness of the Quality Program Standards is high as is use of the self-assessment tool. Kahle Research Solutions Inc 12/3/07 �Mentor Michigan Census, Wave V Key Insights and Process Recommendations Process Recommendations 1. Place emphasis on enhancing mentoring capacity and institutionalizing mentoring as a key part of the missions of schools. non-profit and faith-based organizations. a. Work with board members and school officials to put in place the leadership and ongoirtg .fundinQ str~am? to support mentorinq over the long term . b. Support board training, board member recruitment and le.adership succession planning to institutionalize mentoring for generations to come. c. Turnover of mentoring program leaders is an issue that detracts from building mentoring capacity for the future. Perhaps MM can help address the negative consequences of high turnover through new leader orientations, supporting leadership me+~toring, job banks and/or candidate referrals. d. Colleges and University's can play key roles in operating and/or supporting mentoring programs. Seek to support and encourage formal integration of mentoring programs into higher education institutions throughout the state. Perhaps form a collaborative among those Universities operating mentoring programs. e. Mentoring organizations still want/need support especially in three key areas: i. Mentor Recruitment ii. Mentor Recognition, Support, Retention iii. Evaluation 2. School-based programs appear more efficient in recruitment and more consistent in mentoring intensity and duration. Consider methods of growing mentoring programs and institutionalizing mentoring programs specific to schools (K-12). 3. Continue with emphasis on recruiting men and people of color. Balance these efforts with an emphasis placed on the number and quality of services provided to children. 4. Coordination among mentoring programs in the same geographic area is key to solving the mismatch problems. Seek to develop methods and incentives for closer collaboration among programs and sharing of mentors. Clarity in mission and targets for type of children to serve can help to address the mismatch issues.

Executive Director Rep01i - Musette Michael Ms. Michael thanked those Commissioners that participated in the round table discussion with David Eisner in October. Mr. Eisner recognized the positive impact the MCSC has had, and the strong commitment from the MCSC Commissioners. A. Update on Blueprint for Action I Communication Calendar - Ms. Michael exp lained that each of the MCSC program areas are working on their activities within the Blueprint for Action and will update Commissioners at the next board meeting. She also reviewed the Communication Calendar and highlighted some upcoming activities: specifically, January wruch is Michigan Mentor Month. We are planning media activities and recognition events. The Mentor Micrugan Providers Council members will be scheduling legislative visits to talk about the importance of mentoring. They will be stressing the need solidify the Mentor Michigan infrastructure through appropriations and other funding opportunities. The MCSC will be providing talking points for these visits. Commissioners will also be asked to speak with their legislators. During one-on-one visits with the Commissioners, they confirmed that they have relationships with their state legislators and would be able to make those contacts. The MCSC will provide talking points. The MCSC will also be providing the Commissioners with updated MCSC Fast Facts for their use in communicating the work of the MCSC. The Blueprint for Action and Communication Calendar will be working documents and new activities will be added on as they come up . One example is a new partnership with the Michigan National Guard to recruit new mentors. This will be announced at a Michigan National Guard meeting on January 12, 2008. Ms. Michael asked Conunissioners to look over a chart that was distributed with the different program areas that the Commissioners stated they were interested in. If there are any additional areas they are interested in, they should contact Ms. Michael. Chairman Mulhem suggested that a Commissioner line be added to the Communications Calendar to identify the roles Commissioners can play. B. Mentor Michigan - Paula VanDam Paula VanDam gave a quick overview ofMentor Michigan for the new Commissioners. When the Governor came into office she was very committed 2 �to recruiting more mentors for young people and identified the goal of recruiting 10,000 new mentors. When the First Gentleman agreed to serve as the Chair, they asked us to spearhead this mentoring initiative and to establish a strategy to recruit more mentors around the state. The MCSC began by reviewing the current state of mentoring and developing relationships with the mentoring programs. By doing this, we now have a network of approximately 200 mentoring organizations that we work with on a regular basis in helping them with recruitment of mentors, providing training and technical assistance, and developing standards for quality mentoring programs, promoting Mentor Month activities, and creating awareness around the need for mentoring. 1. Mentor Michigan Ameri Corps*VIST A Last year there were 11 Mentor Michigan VISTAs around the state with the goal to bring local mentoring organizations together to address mentoring at a community level (training mentors, planning match activities). This helped to create efficiencies across mentoring programs and increase their capacity to serve the community. We provided VISTAS to develop local mentoring collaboratives and local communitywide initiatives to support mentoring. Last year the VISTAs referred over I 000 potential new mentors to local mentoring organizations, had 142 different media contacts (radio, television, newspaper articles), leveraged almost $30,000 in cash contributions, and developed 259 new community partnerships. This year, we have been allocated an additional 15 VISTAs and will expand the focus of the program to not only address the local mentoring collaborative issues but to also expand programming around providing ment01ing for kids aging out of foster care and for kids whose parents are incarcerated. 2. Mentor Michigan Conference - Paula K. VanDam shared that the second conference was successful. The feedback from those that attended was very positive. Commissioner Sowmick suggested hosting the conference at the MSU Union again next year and contacting the MSU School of Social Work to possibly underwrite the cost of the conference. 3. Michigan Mentoring Month- Ms. VanDam shared that the mentoring month toolkit is on the MCSC website. The message for the month will be to bring awareness for more mentors, specifically more male mentors. Mr. Mulhern does a great job of getting on radio and television to spread the word on the need for mentoring. Janet Lawson asked what Commissioners can do to support this and also is there a way to launch a corporate strategy to recruit more male mentors. Ms. VanDam shared that Jim Dreyer raised over $55,000 from the Mackinac Swim and donated it to Mentor Michigan . As a result, we will be giving out mini-grants to mentoring organizations to plan activities during mentoring month that focus on mentor recognition and mentor recruitment. Once we identify what applications will be funded , Commissioners will be invited to attend those activities and recognition events in their communities. Commissioner Sowrnick suggested a polar plunge as a fundraiser for Mentor Michigan. 3 ' �4. Mentor Michigan Census Wave V Results- Ms. VanDam gave a summary of the results for the recent census. Tllis year 136 mentoring organizations completed the census (62% response rate). There were more than 20,000 mentors in Michigan, which is 11,500 more mentors today than when we started in 2003, and 4,200 more than last year. Of those reported, there are 1,600 more male mentors today than this time last year. It is great to begin to see the impact Mentor Michigan is having but there is more work to be done. Commissioner Williamson asked how we capture data from United Way 211. Ms. VanDam said that information is not captured though the census but directly from our partnership with the United Way. They will give us the statistics from their centers for January. 5. There were two grant opporttmities through federal agencies; one for mentoring children of incarcerated parents and the other through the U.S. Department of Education for school-based mentoring. Mentor Michigan provided some technical assistance to organizations who were interested in applying for these funds. Eight mentoring organizations in Michigan received a total of $728,000. 6. The Michigan Nonprofit Association received a $50,000 grant from Comcast that will focus on local communities, volunteer centers and Michigan Campus Compact members working together to impact mentoring, literacy and support the growing and innovative work of the League of Michigan. $25,000 of tllis grant has been earmarked to be subgranted in the amount of $5,000 to five communities so that a Campus Compact institution, volunteer center and a local mentoring collaborative can work together to strengthen their partnership. Chairman Mulhern stated that the boy he has been mentoring for 2 years has significant learning disabilities. Trying to get the school system and family to respond has been trying. There may be many mentors matched with kids that socially are not performing, have academic problems, and are filled with frustration at not being able to achieve and fit in. He suggested a session next year at the mentoring conference on strategies to handle difficult matches. Commissioner Lawson suggested having mentoring and 4-H organizations work together to give these children a positive mentoring experience working with animals. C. AmeriCorps Update - Ms. VanDam shared that there will be almost 900 AmeriCorps members doing a year of service. 1. AmeriCorps Alums - Last year Commissioners agreed that $10,000 of the proceeds that were raised from the Governor's Service Awards could be dedicated to focusing on beginning to develop and engage AmeriCorps alumni. These individuals do their year of service and then move on to do great things and to be our future community leaders. We needed resources to begin to galvanize and organize a network of these alums . Last year we did a massive mailing to a Michigan AmeriCorps alumni database 4 �introducing them to the idea of Michigan's alumni and what we were trying to do . Nationally there is a website called mytimeofservice.org where they are trying to organize AmeriCorps alumns nationwide and help states to develop local chapters. As a result of the mailing, we have over 500 alums registered through the website. We have also been working to develop local chapters. Detroit has had a chapter for a couple of years but we have been able to launch new chapters in Grand Rapids, Muskegon, Marquette and Lansing. The MCSC has developed a statewide leadership team and identified two or three people from each community to serve on the team and to spearhead the chapter development in those conununities. The MCSC staff met with them recently and helped them to with goal setting and training. Commissioner Lawson suggested that maybe some of the corporations can help get the members involved in service projects in their communities. Commissioner Alexander also suggested that community foundations and Youth Advisory Council members could be connected to the alumni programs. 2. Accomplislm1ents - Ms. VanDam shared highlights from the 2006-07 program year. There were 21 AmeriCorps programs with over 1000 members serving. They contributed over 700,000 hours of service. They have earned over $1.5 million in education awards, 2,500 students were engaged in service-learning activities through AmeriCorps members, 1,600 children have had direct mentoring relationships, and members recruited almost 24,000 volunteers (on average each member recruits 23 volunteers) . This is pretty powerful when you think ofthe leverage that AmeriCorps bring the local communities. 3. AmeriCorps Member Celebration - Ms. VanDam explained that every year we bring together the members for a day of training and celebration. They will attend a variety of workshops (Commissioner Swain led a workshop on inclusion), listen to keynote speakers (including Chainnan Mulhern) and then take their oath of office. D. Learn and Serve - Ms. VanDam gave a brief summary of the Learn and Serve program. The MCSC administers the program on behalf of the Department of Education. We provide grants to K-12 school districts that implement servicelearning district wide. Service-Learning is a way to connect what kids are learning in the classroom to cornnmnity service and being involved in their community. This year there are 20 school districts that the MCSC is working with. 1. Urban Initiative - It has been difficult to bring service-learning into the urban areas, specifically Detroit, because the grant amount is not significant enough for a district the size of Detroit. Through ongoing dialogue with the MCSC Commissioners on how to do a better job of penetrating urban areas, they designated $20,000 in proceeds from the 2006 Governor's Service Awards to be spent in urban areas. The MCSC had $20,000 in additional federal funding because two programs that did not meet the criteria were not funded. The Urban Initiative will use that federal funding, and will be piloted in Detroit. 5 �The MCSC will look at how it can be replicated in other areas. Angeli a Salas, the MCSC Learn and Serve Program Officer, held several meetings with organizations working in Detroit schools to identify schools in Detroit that would be willing to implement service-learning. We targeted four schoo ls and two schools applied for the funds . Renaissance High School requested $10,000 to establish an ongoing service-learning program. Their pilot proj ect wi ll engage over 1000 students and will be connected to English and Math classes. The YMCA Service-Learning Academy requested $10,000 to engage over 1,100 K-8 students in various service-learning proj ects. The YMCA ServiceLearning Academy is a charter school that was established in 1998. Staff is recommending board approval to fund Renaissance High School and the YMCA Service-Learning Academy at the requested amo unts. Commissioner Meston shared her concerns about funding a charter school due to fact that there seems to be large tum-over in charter school administrations. Commissioner Sowmick stated that he would like to make sure that the MCSC is also looking at other urban areas (Grand Rapids, Saginaw, etc.) for funding to make sure we are serving the whole state. Ms. VanDam said that the MCSC has had success in funding urban districts in other areas of the state and has had a difficult time getting into Detroit. The MCSC needs to continue to do outreach in urban areas . Chairman Mulhern asked for a motion to approve the staff recommendations for the Learn and Serve urban funding for Renaissance High School. Commissioner Seese made the motion to approve the staff recommendations, Commissioner Smith seconded the motion. The motion passed unanimously. Chairman Mulhern asked for a motion to approve the staff recommendations for the Learn and Serve urban funding for YMCA Service-Learning Academy. The motion passed with one opposed. 2. Learn and Serve Accomplishments - Ms. VanDam shared some highlights from 2006-07. There were over 50,000 students that participated in servicelearning; they provided almost 500,000 hours of service to their community; almost 1700 teachers participated in Learn and Serve programs; they mobilized more than 4000 volunteers in addition to the numerous hours that the students provided; and 15,000 disadvantaged youth were engaged in service learning and 12,000 disadvantaged yo uth were served. E. Volunteer Investment Grants - Ms. VanDam stated that the Michigan legislature appropriated $250,000 for FY 2008 for funding Michigan ' s VIG. This year MCSC staff is focusing the funding on the priorities from the MCSC ' s Blueprint for Action. Staff is proposing that $200,000 be used to support sub-grants to local communities. The sub-grants will be awarded to nonprofits, schools, or local government agencies to mobilize additional volunteers and to increase their capacity to support additional volunteers. Priority wi ll be given to organizations addressing mentoring, mobilizing baby 6 �boomers, and servicing youth from disadvantaged circumstances and/or engaging them in service. The other $50,000 would to support Mentor Michigan. Chairman Mulhern asked for a motion to approve the staff recommendations for the VIG funding. Commissioner Mawby made the motion to approve the staff recommendations, Commissioner Swain seconded the motion. The motion passed unanimously. F. Governor' s Service Awards - Ms. Michael announced that Ford has committed to a $25,000 sponsorship level for the 2008 GSA. Per feedback from Commissioners, a venue in Detroit is the best location for generating sponsorships but not necessarily at the Fox Theater. Mary Grill will look at the Detroit Institute of Arts as a possible venue. The 2008 GSA Committee will be Rob Collier, Janet Lawson, Joe Sowmick, Melonie Colaianne, Breannah Alexander, and Lloyd Jackson . G. Advocacy - Ms. Michael explained that Commissioners have a copy of a letter from Chairman Mulhern to the Michigan Congressional delegation supporting funding for national service. She also stated that the reauthorization bill (GIVE Act) could move soon. The MCSC supports the reauthorization bill. H. Financial Report - Garry Gross gave an update on the state budget. V. Public Comment Diana Algra distributed the Volunteer Centers of Michigan annual report which included data collected from Bob Kahle. Volunteer Centers Executive Directors met recently with their state legislators to share information about the Volunteer Centers and the impact from the Volunteer Investment Grants. VI.

Diana Algra, Volunteer Centers ofMichigan Kyle Caldwell, Michigan Nonprofit Association Mary Grill, Michigan Community Service Commission Janice Harvey, Michigan Community Service Commission Paula Kaiser VanDam, Michigan Community Service Commission Kevin Reeves, Michigan Community Service Commission Amy Smitter, Michigan Campus Compact Jocelyn Yanda, Department ofHuman Services Welcome and Introduction - Chairman Dan Mulhem The meeting was called to order at 10:35 a.m. by Chairn1an Dan Mulhem. Chairman Mulhern welcomed new Commissioner Joe Lubig to the MCSC and Commissioners introduced themselves . �II. Review and Approval ofNovember 13, 2007 Minutes- Chaim1an Dan Mulhem Chaim1an Mulhern asked for a motion to approve the minutes from the September 28, 2007 board meeting. Commissioner Williamson moved to approve the minutes; Commissioner Seese seconded the motion. The motion passed unanimously. III. Standing Committee Reports - Chairman Dan Mulhem The Commissioners reviewed Executive Committee meeting minutes from February 8, 2008. Executive Committee members approved AmeriCorps Competitive funding and Volunteer Investment Grants. Chairman Mulhern summarized the types of funding to update new Commissioners. AmeriCorps grants two types of funding; competitive grants where MCSC submits applications to CNCS and competes with a national pool of applicants, and the formula funding that CNCS grants to the MCSC whiyh determines sub-grantees. The MCSC also receives funding through the state budget to fund Volunteer Investment Grants to stimulate the growth of Volunteer Centers statewide. At one point the MCSC received $1 million, but now the funding level is at $250,000. The MCSC lost the funding in the FY06-07 budget year because of the budget crisis. This year the funding is targeting initiatives that focus on areas from the Blueprint for Action. Chairman Mulhern asked for a motion to approve the minutes. Commissioner Niester moved to approve the minutes, Commissioner Kwak seconded the motion. The motion passed unanimously. IV. Executive Director Report - Musette Michael Ms. Michael updated Commissioners on upcoming events and asked them to attend if possible. Their attendance increases the MCSC ' s visibility, provides Commissioners the opportunity to network with others in the field. and helps them to gain ideas to provide direction. Ms. Michael also described initiatives beginning through America's Promise to address the epidemic of high school dropouts. It is a nationwide epidemic and problem; 1 out of every 3 9th graders will not graduate and half of those not graduating are minority students. State Farm Insurance will be funding summits around the state to address the issue. There will be a summit on April 24 and 25 in Detroit and October 20 in Lansing. The summits will address the dropout issue and the causes and solutions from a national , state, and local perspective. We continue to emphasize the role mentoring plays on a child's academic success and the role service-leaming plays by keeping kids engaged in school. Our AmeriCorps programs provide support for kids inside and outside of school. The MCSC and it's programs play a critical role in addressing this issue. We will be attending the summits and invite Commissioners to attend also . Ms. Michael also invited Commissioners to attend the Michigan Giving and Volunteering Celebration, sponsored by Comcast, on April 16th at the Capitol. She also reminded Commissioners that the Russ Mawby Signature Service Project will take place on June 11 and 12 in Benton Harbor. Commissioners also received updated Key Infom1ation Binder infom1ation. The binder material includes programs in each of the Commissioners geographic area. 2 �A. Update on Blueprint for Action I Communication Calendar- Ms. Michael explained that each of the MCSC program areas are working on their activities within the Blueprint for Action and have highlighted those completed in their specific areas. It was suggested that we add the Blueprint for Action to the MCSC website. Mary Grill explained the Communication Calendar and that everything related to outreach or communications is listed. It is an 18-month calendar and is broken down by program area. A Commissioner activity section has also been added. This provides a snapshot of the communications activities for the MCSC. Ms. Grill shared that the MCSC is working with some MSU information technology students who have committed to reorganizing the MCSC website as a project. She also announced that Elyse Ver Berkmoes joined the MCSC communications staff. B. Mentor Michigan- Paula VanDam 1. Mentor Michigan Month -Paula VanDam gave an overview of Mentor Michigan activities during the past quarter. We wrapped up a very successful Mentoring Month in January. One of the new components of Mentoring Month this year included the mini-grants that were awarded to mentoring organizations registered with Mentor Michigan and completing the census. The grants were an opportunity for them to apply for funds to host a mentoring recruitment event or a mentoring recognition event in January. The MCSC awarded nearly $17,000 to over 25 mentoring organizations or collaboratives to host these events. There were 37 local events that took place statewide. Commissioners Alexander and Thomas participated in a local event in Saginaw. Thanks to Commissioner Seese for helping to secure Saginaw Spirit tickets for one of the events and also to Commissioner Jewell for her efforts in helping with a Kalamazoo event. In addition, we were fortunate to have the Governor host a press conference on 111 January 8 to release the results of Wave V of the Mentor Michigan Census. This was a great opportunity to draw some media attention to the growth of mentoring over the past year. In addition the Governor set another goal in her State of the State address. She not only thanked the 21,000 mentors who are currently giving of their time but also committed to recruiting 10,000 more mentors between now and the end of her administration. We are working on our plan so that we can reach that number. Ms. VanDam stated that over 100 PSAs were distributed around the state although we don't have a count ofhow many were played statewide. Mary Grill also thanked Larry Williamson and Comcast for playing the PSA during February. Commissioner Lawson said that many corporations would be happy to play the mentoring PSAs on their cafeteria monitors , hallway monitors and in the manufacturing plants if they are open captioned. She will help us work with the Corporate Councils next year to get the PSAs played. Chairn1an Mulhern asked if we can only show them during January. Ms. Grill stated that they do not mention the month of January in them so they can played anytime throughout the year. 3 �2. John Hancock Essay Contest - Ms . VanDam explained that Jolm Hancock Financial Services has contributed $100,000 annually to Mentor Michigan for the last three years. They had piloted an essay contest in the Boston area where they are based and wanted to bring it to Michigan, specifically Southeast Michigan. High School students write essays about John Hancock's life, and John Hancock executives select one winner to win a 111 $10,000 scholarship and trip to Washington D.C. over July 4 • Chairman Mulhern and Commissioner Lawson also served as judges for the contest. John Hancock wanted to partner specifically with Mentor Michigan, and we encouraged them to expand beyond the Southeast Michigan area. MCSC staff did a tremendous job working through our Learn and Serve network, mentoring network, and also AmeriCorps programs to gather a good number of essays. A student from a Southgate school that had been involved with service-learning won the scholarship. Commissioner Lawson shared that they not only gave the $10,000 scholarship to the winner, but also gave a $2,500 scholarship to all of the finalists. In addition, Dan talked them into giving a $5,000 scholarship to the second place winner. Commissioner Lawson asked for ideas on how we can recruit more writers from schools around the state. This is a great opportunity for kids to get cash for college. John Hancock is interested in running the contest statewide next year. Commissioners can share the opportunity next year in their local communities. Chairman Mulhern would like to make sure that the contest continues to be marketed in the mentoring network. 3. Michigan National Guard Partnership- Ms. VanDam shared that the MCSC has forn1ed a partnership with the Michigan National Guard to recruit mentors. Mr. Mulhern launched the partnership at the annual conference for senior enlisted soldiers and airman in January. There will be a follow up presentation in March in Kalamazoo with commanding officers. The goal is to recruit 500 mentors by 2010. We will be rolling out a DVD and recruitment kit to the units and will also establish local partnerships between mentoring organizations and various National Guard units across the state. Ms. Michael also stated that the Mentor Michigan staff have a tracking system for the initiative. Chainnan Mulhern stated that this is an extraordinary partnership. From aPR and marketing standpoint, we'll have a tremendous opportunity once the initiative kicks off. One possibility for us in terms of marketing is to have the National Guard mentor, Jerrod, and his little speak in a corporate setting to tell the story of the benefits of mentoring. Mr. Mulhern also shared that he spoke with the Michigan Municipal League and there may be a possibility to speak before the mayors this summer. 4. Legislative Amendment - Ms. VanDam stated that there is a need to amend the Child Protection Law to allow checks of volunteers on the child abuse registry. Some federal grants for mentoring require organizations to check the registry; however there is confusion within the law as to who DHS has the ability to share that infom1ation with. The law currently restricts who 4 �may have access to this information. Mentor Michigan is working with the Mentor Michigan Provider Council to ask for an amendment to the Child Protection Law that will allow a potential mentor to ask DHS to confim1 that they are not on the central registry and to allow them to share that information for either employment or volunteer purposes. The Providers Council has suggested that DHS should also be able to share that information directly with a designated volunteer organization or employer. The language is being written so that it can apply to anyone in a volunteer organization. There is a draft of the bill and they are looking for sponsors. 5. Launch ofMentorPRO- Ms. VanDam was excited to share that Mentor Michigan is launching a new web-based evaluation program for mentoring organizations called MentorPRO. It was created by MENTOR and beta tested by a number of mentoring programs across the country. It is an extraordinarily sophisticated management information system for mentoring programs from in-taking of volunteers to getting them screened and matched, and then once they are matched it allows them to manage the match relationship all in a web-based tracking system. It also has a reminder system to notify case managers that it is time to check in with a mentor match. We have a long way to go to get programs to implement it. Some Big Brothers Big Sisters organizations have their own tracking systems that they use so they won't need to use MentorPRO. The first mentoring programs will be trained next week; there are 14 programs that will pilot the program. This program will not replace the Mentor Michigan Census as not every mentoring program will sign on to use the program. 6. Mentor Michigan Conference - the 2008 Mentor Michigan Conference will take place on November 17 at the Kellogg Center and will be held in conjunction with the AmeriCorps Member Celebration. This will allow more AmeriCorps members to participate in the conference. 7. Mentor Michigan Wave V Census - The results of the census were announced in January. Ms. VanDam shared some highlights. The number of mentors increased by 4,200 to over 20,600 so we've seen a steady growth of mentors over the last 2 years. The number of kids being served by mentors stayed the same from last year (approximately 28,000 children) which means there is a decline in group mentoring and an increase in oneon-one mentoring. As there are programs that did not report, it is reasonable to estimate that there are more than 35,000 mentoring relationships. Also, recruitment efficiency has improved which means that although the number of inquiries is down, there is a better success rate of inquiries turning into applicants. There are still mentors and mentees on waiting lists in all geographic areas so we need to do a better job of getting programs to coordinate and collaborate. Mentor Michigan needs to have a better presence in the Detroit area. There have been conversations with mentoring collaboratives to see how we can bring major mentoring programs in Detroit together to talk about a larger plan and what it will take to build mentoring in that community. Commissioner Lawson suggested that it might be 5 �worthwhile to work with Skillman and their five neighborhoods, and may be helpful for Mentor Michigan to put together a list of what we could offer Ski llman. There is also discussion to have a Mentor Michigan staff person in the Detroit area. The Census also showed that there needs to be more technical training for the mentoring programs and Mentor Michigan will work to provide that. We will also be providing $100,000 in organizational development/capacity building grants (10- $10,000 grants) that will allow organizations to pick an issue (fund development, board development, pr and marketing) to help with organizational issues. The RFP will be issued this summer. 8. Father's Day Promotion - Ms. VanDam stated that the promotion with Meijer in 2007 was very successful and asked whether we shou ld approach Meijer again this year. Mr. Mulhern is comfortable asking Mark Murray, from Meijer, for their support again with the promotion. It was also suggested to see ifDP & Co. would help with the marketing ofthis promotion. Mary Grill will speak with DP & Co. about helping. There will be a committee to work on this topic: Janet Lawson , Lori Jewell, Think Tank Committee, and Amy Smitter. They will have a conference call in March or April to come up with some ideas. C. AmeriCorps Update 1. AmeriCorps Alums- There are five chapter locations; Metro Detroit, Grand Rapids, Lansing, Marquette, and West MI Lakeshore. They have held various events and participated in several service projects. We recently announced that the chapters will have the opportunity to apply for some mini-grants with some funds that were designated from GSA proceeds. These grants will be used for projects or events that meet the goals established including chapter expansion , cultivating new patiners to support alumns , connecting alumns to current AmeriCorps members, and more. Megan Sargent has been convening an alumn leadership team. 2. AmeriCorps Week - Ms. VanDam shared that AmeriCorps Week will take place May 11-18. It is a nationwide event designed to bring more attention to AmeriCorps . Michigan's AmeriCorps programs are organizing different public relations and service projects in their local communities for that week. It coincides with the Nonprofit Superconference again this year and AmeriCorps members will give a presentation on AmeriCorps and complete an on-site service project. Once we have details on local service projects going on during that week, we will notify Commissioners. 3. Russ Mawby Signature Service Project - This year's project will take place June 11 -12 in Benton Harbor. Commi ss ioners are invited to participate. D. MLK Day Activities- Jeanine Yard summarized activities that took place on MLK Day. It is a priority of the CNCS to make MLK Day a day of service. The MCSC promoted it through its grantees and partners. Partners included Volunteer Centers of Michigan, Michigan Campus Compact, the LEAGUE, 6 �Mentor Michigan and CNCS-Michigan. Through this promotion, Michigan had 46 organizations post more than 119 MLK Day service or volunteer opportunities on the MLK website. The MCSC will work with it's partners to expand next year; we would like to offer mini-grants to organizations hosting events. Commissioners will also be invited to participate in MLK Day events next year. E. Learn & Serve Update 1. Institute Summary- Ms. VanDam gave an update on Learn and Serve activities. The annual Institute on Service-Learning and Civic Engagement was scheduled to be hosted at Central Michigan University on February 7 and 8. Due to a snow stonn, CMU was closed. However, Dan had an enthusiastic audience for his leadership presentation. Out ofthe 350 registered attendees, 125 made it through the storm. Michigan Campus Compact and MCSC staff were able to put together a modified agenda for the conference. 2. National Service-Learning Conference- Ms. VanDam shared that Angelia Salas will be presenting at the National Service-Learning Conference in April in Minneapolis. The session is "Building Programs that Last" and is based on the MCSC's program sustainability efforts as it relates to the Learn and Serve grants we offer to school districts. Also, the MCSC offered a grant to Deborah Wagner from the Ionia County ISD to create a professional development product called "The Box". Deb will be offering a full-day preconference session launching "The Box" nationally. There are many organizations waiting for the unveiling of it. Conm1issioner Lawson would like Angelia and/or Deb Wagner to come to Ford to demo the box. 3. 2008-09 Learn and Serve - Michigan Outreach - Ms. VanDam stated that the MCSC has funding available for nine new districts for Learn and Serve. We are holding outreach sessions in Kalamazoo and Detroit to instruct them about the guidelines. F. Governor's Service Awards- Chairman Mulhern stated that there was a great turnout at the GSA Sponsor Breakfast at the Governor's Residence. Past sponsors, Commissioners, and award recipients were invited. The purpose of the event was to get people excited about this year's Governor' s Service Awards and to gather information from the important stakeholders on whether changes should be made to the program. A video was shown that included two past winners, Randy Walker (past Mentor of the Year) and Tuesday Toolmen (Past Volunteer Program of the Year). Attendees were asked whether we should think about revising the celebration from the big theatrical event at the Fox Theater to a smaller event at the Governor's Residence. Sponsors were asked for their thoughts on changing the format and stated that we should do what makes the most sense. The business case that was presented to them was that the event grossed about $185,000 and netted about $100,000 (so we spent about $85,000 on expenses for the event). Options discussed were to hold a smaller event where we might not incur the large expenses or need to fill a huge 7 �venue like the Fox Theater, and instead hold the event at the Govemor's Residence. The proceeds from the event could be used to get the message of volunteerism out more strategically in more local communities. The vignettes of the wonderful winners could be used during cable programs. The corporate attendees said they don't care about marketing (the sponsors name in program, etc.); they contribute because it is the right thing to do, and to plan whatever event that makes sense. Others felt strongly that being on the stage with the govemor was very important. Mary Zatina from Oakwood Health Systems said it was great to have a winner on the stage and to be able to bring several of their employees to the event. Regarding the amount of media coverage the event gets, Mary Grill stated that the event itself doesn't get much coverage but the winners get coverage in their local communities. Commissioner Williamson shared that the breakfast event was very successful and said that one attendee (Delta Dental) stated to him that they thought doing something at the Govemor' s Residence would be a great way to honor volunteers. Commissioner Kwak said that it is hard to have the conversation without knowing what the event means to all the people who attend (nominators, finalists, and winners) because that is who the event is for. She suggested that a survey of nominators, finalists and winners go out to get an idea of what they would like to see. If we had data that suppmied one format or the other, it would help with the decision-making. It would be nice to find out what matters to the people in Michigan that will motivate them to volunteer. One comment that was made to Chris was that they liked the current format because they could bring a lot of volunteers and it was not cost prohibitive. It' s about being inclusive. What they (Kellogg Foundation) are hearing from their grantees is that when you pull one or two people out of a collective leadership model and give them awards you actually discourage other people from getting involved. To celebrate collectively is a very important concept. Commissioner Niester asked if we have a reception at the Residence, would we give up the opportunity to also do a celebration in the city of the finalists and winners. We're not going to get 2000 people to come down from the Upper Peninsula for an event in Detroit, but if we celebrate the recipients in their local communities, you may get more people involved. The real story is in the field so you may gain more exposure ofthe awards locally and with local media. The Fox Theater is a great venue but it's not a central venue. The event may pull more people if it is in a central location. Commissioner Lubig suggested three or four regional events where the good stories of the area could be shared . By sharing the stories, it could build momentum. It could take place with other events that are occurring. Commissioner Alexander asked whether the different locations would be a logistical problem and also what is the primary purpose of the awards. Do we 8 �want to recognize the recipients? Are we trying to pull people in and show them what they can do with their talents and what they get in return? If we are trying to do that and also pull in more sponsors, is it a good idea to have it conm1unity-based or is it a better idea to have a larger event with more exposure? Commissioner Sowmick spoke with his talent buyer to see what kind of artist they could get with the level of funding the GSA provides, asking an artist to perform for 30 minutes. The buyer asked what the main focus of the event is; to sell tickets, to provide quality entertainment, or to recognize the participants. An entertainer has to come in at this cost and conform their performance to our agenda. If we're looking to bring more people into the process, we can accomplish the same objective with the local event. From the media perspective, we're going to get more coverage from a Lansing based event. If there is an event at the Governor's Residence, bring in a video crew to videotape it and then use the video vignettes to showcase the winners locally. Maybe there can be an arrangement with Michigan State University to use the Wharton Center for the awards ceremony and the Governor's Residence for the reception. MCSC staff shared that finalists have commented that they like the fact that they can bring more family and friends to the event now that it is at the Fox Theater. When it was a dinner/awards ceremony, they were limited with the number of guests they could bring and it was also cost prohibitive because of it being a dinner. Kyle Caldwell gave background on the transition from the last administration to the new administration. Taking a hiatus from doing the awards ceremony was considered, but the grassroots organizations were not happy with that option. During the first year of the Granholm administration, the Governor Service Awards were presented in local communities when they were attending other events. Is there a possibility that you do the awards ceremony and then also highlight the awardees in their local communities at other events? Mary Grill said that we did 5 or 6 presentations that year. The Governor only presented one of the awards (the Romney Award at the Volunteer SuperConference) so there was disappointment from the field that the profile of the event went down. The awards presentations at the local events got lost in the larger message of the event. Chris Kwak said that the local dinners are so common place and that the event at the Fox Theater was exciting. She was able to get people who wouldn't have considered going to attend the event. Having a big name entertainer gives the event a big buzz and people want to go. Mary Grill shared that the only issue with having something at the Governor' s Residence is the number of people that can attend. In earlier years for GSA Receptions held at the Residence, there were 250 in attendance and that was 9 �over the 200 recommended . If finalists and winners are both invited along with their guests, the numbers would be larger than can be accommodated. Jocelyn Yanda stated that she enjoys the vignettes of the winners and that she hopes that we don't lose that. Dan Mulhern reiterated the question asked "What are we trying to accomplish?" Is it recognizing people, is it to grow the movement, can we save some money, is there more outreach to media. There has been a pretty strong push back that it is about creating that quality of experience around the Fox Theater. Janet Lawson said there is something special about calling the winners forward, honoring them, and telling their story. Having been the person reading the information on the winners, the story is better told visually (through the videos) . From the fundraising standpoint, many ofthe sponsors are from theSE Michigan area as opposed to the Lansing or Grand Rapids area and that the sponsors may prefer to have it in the metropolitan Detroit area . Another thought would be to do something at the Residence every other year and still have people tell their story through videos, promote it on local cable programming, have entertainment, and have a special, more intimate event. Then on the down year you have more money for programming. Chairman Mulhern asked the GSA Committee to calculate the budgets ofboth an event at the Fox Theater and a reception at the Residence, and the number of attendees that can attend . Also, gather information from a survey. The GSA Committee can meet via conference call to make a decision. Mary Grill said that once the decision of the type of event is made, the sponsor letters will be sent out. G. Advocac y - Ms. Michael explained that a copy of the MCSC ' s draft Volunteerism and National Service Platform was emailed out to Commissioners this week for their feedback. This is the beginning of the conversation and we hope to get other states to sign on. Once we know who the presidential candidates are, we will float our platform. We ' d like Michigan to be known and to be a step ahead. Chairman Mulhern sent a letter to Senators Levin and Stabenow asking them to join the newly forn1ed Senate National Service Caucus. H. Financial Report - Kevin Reeves gave an update on the federal budget recommendations for national service. The budget for CNCS for FY08 was $856,331 million . The proposed amount for FY09 is $829 million , which is a drop of more than $26 million. Learn and Serve is taking more than a $5 million dollar cut which would mean a cute for Michigan of more than $100,000 if enacted. When you consider the fact that our average Learn and Serve school-based grants are approximately $20,000, you are in turn losing 5 grants. AmeriCorps State & National has an increase of$17 million , which 10 �' would increase the number of AmeriCorps members to the President's request of75 ,000. V. Public Comment Diana Agra shared that the High School Drop Out Summits will be taking place in Detroit on April 24 and 25 and Lansing on October 20. Amy Smitter thanked Lori Jewell and State Farm Insurance as they are serving as a sponsor. VI.

Currently 70,000 AmeriCorps members serve our nation each year, working as tutors and mentors in schools and afterschool programs, caring for the elderly, helping people access health care and preventive medicine, working to conserve the environment, providing disaster relief and reconstruction, as well as many more critically needed services. There is a demand for these vi tal services, and the community is eager to serve. In the wake of September 11, 2001 , applications to AmeriCorps rose by more than 50%. In the past five years. the overall percent of college students who volunteer has increased by 20%, and research shows that the 77 million retiring Baby Boomers are interested in serving their communities in new and innovative ways. We should build on the demonstrated success of AmeriCorps by growing the program to 250,000 members to accommodate the demand for high quality service opportunities. • Estimated cost of250,000 AmeriCorps members per year: $1.47 billion Expand Learn and Serve America funding to $55 million annually. Already overseeing more than 1,200 service-learning programs, Learn and Serve America is the federal initiative charged with supporting and encouraging service-learning throughout the country. The CNCS strategic plan has also set a goal ofbuilding service-learning into the curriculum of half of all k-12 schools in the cotmtry by 2010. Building on and expanding this successful program would allow all students to pursue service-learning activities as an essential part of their school curricula. We should increase our investment in Learn and Serve America to $55 million annually. Eliminate the taxability of the AmeriCorps Education Award. AmeriCorps members receive an Education Award upon successful completion of their term of service. Currently, the AmeriCorps Education Award is taxed. We would like to bring the AmeriCorps Education Award in line with similar monetary rewards. For example, the Montgomery G.I. Bill, which includes the College Fund, provides financial incentives for members of the military and is not subject to tax. �DRAFT Develop a flexible funding pool of $5 million that will be distributed by the CNCS to state commissions so they are better able to address specific needs unique to their state. Baseline data on the state of volunteering in America from the Bureau of Labor Statistics tells us that about 29% of Americans currently volunteer, and an additional 52% would do so if more infom1ation, time, and effective management were available to them. Concurrently, the Corporation for National and Community Service's study on nonprofits' and congregations' capacity to utilize volunteers indicate that 90% of these organizations could use an additional six million volunteers at their current management capacity and millions more if we invest in building that capacity. Additional investment would allow state commissions to develop programs, training, and support mechanisms to assist in building the capacity of organizations to recruit, utilize, and retain an ever-increasing number of vohmteers. Expand mentoring funding to $200 million with specific funds for statewide mentoring initiatives focusing on capacity building and coordination. We need to help young people transition successfully into adulthood, and mentoring is one thing that can make a huge difference. Children with mentors are: • 46% less likely to begin using illegal drugs; • 27% less likely to begin using alcohol; • 52% less likely to. skip school; • 37% less likely to skip class; • More confident in their schoolwork performance; • Able to get along better with their families; and • Half as likely to go to prison if they are child of a prisoner with a least one volunteer mentor. An increased investment in mentoring must be made in order to dedicate services and support to building the capacity of organizations engaged in recruiting and retaining mentors. Coordination at the state level is a necessity and current funding is limited for both of these of these critical initiatives. Increase state commission administrative support funding to $20 million. As state commissions are asked to do more to meet the expanding goals of the Corporation for National and Community Service and to meet consistently changing state priorities, additional investment must be made. This increase in funding to commissions is vital to ensuring effective response to identified needs, excellence in programming and oversight, and attention to standards of quality. The increase will also allow for expanded capacity resulting in the growth of the National Service sector. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
