Kennedy Serve America Act. The new grant funding - totaling $1 million dollars- will support innovative summer-time service-learning programs for students grades 6 through 9. "These grants are geared to funding programs that will ignite the spark of civic engagement in students at a critical point in their lives," said Nicola Goren, acting CEO of the Corporation. "Getting involved in service at a young age will start students on a path toward life-long service while at the same time, they address pressing needs in their own communities." The Corporation anticipates awarding five to seven grants to support collaborative efforts to implement community-based service-learning projects during the summer months. To qualify for funding, projects will have to provide students with service-learning experiences that address environmental or disaster preparedness issues relevant to the community served and teach or reinforce academic, civic and leadership development for participants. Participants in the Summer of Service must complete at least 100 hours of service through the summer program and are eligible to receive a $500 education award in return for their service that can be used to pay for post-secondary education expenses. Eligible applicants for these awards include state education agencies, state service commissions, U.S. territories, Indian tribes, institutions of higher education, public or private nonprofit organizations, faith-based organizations, public or private elementary or secondary schools, local education agencies, and consortia of such entities. Funding for this grant competition is contingent on the enactment of the Fiscal Year 20 I 0 budget for the Corporation. Click here for more information about this funding opportunity and instructions on how to apply. The deadline for applications is 5 p.m. EST, December 10. Learn and Serve America grants provide support to organizations that involve over 1 million young people in servicelearning projects that simultaneously support student development and meet community needs.

The campaign is designed to promote citizen service and increase meaningful opportunities for Americans to volunteer their time and skills. ElF was inspired to create "I Participate" by attending the 2008 ServiceNation Summit, which promoted volunteerism as national and legislative priorities for the presidential nominees and the incoming Administration and Congress. "I Participate" National Kick Off ElF's campaign kicked off with a week of specially-created television programming . More than 90 primetime , daytime, news , and talk shows on ABC , CBS , FOX, and NBC featured storylines or public service announcements highlighting the importance of service. Several of last week's highlights included : • • • • PAR I PATE ENTERTAINMENT INDU STRY FOUNDATION NBC's The Biggest Loser promoted the Pound for Pound Challenge, which calls on citizens to support national and local hunger initiatives and community food banks. ABC's Dancing with the Stars promoted the work done by Habitat for Humanity by sending a dancing pair to help build a home in the Los Angeles area. CBS aired a variety of service-related public service announcements read by their show's stars, including Wanda Sykes. FOX's So You Think You Can Dance sent several of its participants to community dance organizations throughout the country . The week of October 19 wasn 't the only coordinated plan for "I Participate." This campaign looks to be a multi-year effort that will focus on volunteer opportunities that align with five key areas: education and children , health and well-being , economic development, environmental conservation , and support for military families . More information about "I Participate" can be found at www.iparticipate.org. "I Participate" in Michigan The Michigan Community Service Commission supported the efforts of ElF's "I Participate" kick off as well. Information was sent to all MCSC grantees, constituents, media, and the general public to spread the word and get others involved . Many media outlets throughout the state made mention of the "I Participate" campaign or volunteerism during the week of October 19, including the following : • • • The Detroit News o Networks join volunteer campaign (1 0/20) Holland Sentinel o My take- Is this your time to step up?

All the recognized youth have devoted at least 50 hours to volunteer service in the past year, qualifying them for the prestigious award which recognizes individuals, families, and groups with lapel pins, recognition certificates, and a letter signed by President Obama. The awards presentation was included in the annual Service and Leadership Camp sponsored by The LEAGUE, the Michigan Community Service Commission, and Learn and Serve Michigan. This year's event, "Super Servers: Taking on the Challenge of Service," featured activities such as teambuilding, a Challenge Day program, service projects, and workshops for teachers and students. During the camp, nearly 125 youth from across the state made a personal pledge to service including: "I pledge to care more, to get up off my butt, and to do something " "I pledge to recycle more than I do now. " "I pledge to do five service projects with a good cause. " "I pledge to get my family involved in more community service activities.

The communications department created a toolkit to help practitioners draw attention to the impact of their service-learning efforts and did regular electronic outreach to 0 encourage participation. This year the Challenge is being promoted as a way to kick off service-learning in local communities. Our highlighted event was held on rOctober 16 at the Detroit Service-Learning Academy (DSLA). As the name would suggest, service-learning is at the heart of education at DSLA. Each student, teacher, and staff member participates in service-learning activities that are linked to academic content. In addition, the DSLA Superintendent, Paula Kaiser VanDam, and DSLA Board President spoke to students about the importance of their work and challenged them to live up to their reputation as a service-learning leader. The event was videotaped by the Learn and Serve VISTA and has been shared on the MCSC's YouTube Channel and on the MCSC ' s Youth Service Blog. Additional Challenge efforts will be shared in this way throughout the year. !!i - :z: > lEARN&SERVE CHALLENGE � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

On Tuesday, March 4, 2008, Certa rece ived a ca ll to bring four of hi eni ors to New Orl eans, Loui siana, to ass ist the show in buildin g a house and church prev iously destroyed by Hurricane Katrina. From Friday, March 6 through Saturday, March 14, CHS Co nstructi on Program and Learn & Serve students Co rey Gotshall , Cli ff Jones, Kyl e Jones , and Nathan Tripplehorn ass isted with framing, in stalling doors, sheeting, wrapping, and landscaping. " Volunteers were divided into skill ed and un skilled groups. As these young men were in th eir fourth yea r of Charlevo ix Hi gh School 's Constructi on Program, they were qualifi ed to wea r the 'skill ed' badges that prov ided access to all project sites. Then it was j ust a matter of putting those skill s to work - and they certa inly did . Certa says by the end of the week the students were receiving offers of in ternships and jobs with large construction compani es located in North Carolina, Vi rgini a, and Tennessee. Despite the work experi ences and netwo rkin g opportuni ties, Certa be li eves thi s trip a lso summed up th e va lu e of service-l ea rning. "[Service-l ea rni ng] stretches their boundari es outside of schoo l wa ll s and allows students to recogn ize the need fo r educati on and how useful it is in the rea l world . Focusing on th e needs of others is an eye-opening ex peri ence for man y young peopl e and transforms them into more thoughtful and compass ionate beings," sa id Ce rta. Learn & Serve - Mi chi ga n funds ass isted with transportation and housing costs for the C HS students and Certa. Service-l earning is a teaching and learning approach that conn ects mea ningful service to th e co mmunity with classroom in tructi on that enri ches learning, teaches ci vic responsibility, and fos ters personal growth. It helps youth see beyond the classroom and into the co mmunity where they learn math , sc ience, language arts, and other required subj ects by 538,477 hours of service- learnin g. They were ass isted by 2,713 adult volunteers. They compl eted 70 community revitalization projects in 2007-2008. The Impact MCSC granted $726,062 in school-and communitybased service-l earning grants. Addition ally, grantees leveraged $775,589 in match funds within their loca l communities. As a result of these grants, 1,042 teachers engaged 26,386 K-12 students in 8 Through the community-based grant, Michigan State University Extension 4-1-1 engaged 527 students in 25,842 hours of service through Peer Mentoring and Service-Learning programming. �addressi ng co mmuni ty needs and so lvi ng rea l-li fe pro bl ems.

Never rea ll y hav in g a pl ace to ca ll home. Wondering if anyone ca red about her. These are all phrases that desc ribe the first 13 yea rs of Jami e Whipple 's li fe. Howeve r her Ii fe changed dramatically in 2004, when she met an indi vi du al who would become the one constant in her li fe - her mentor, Mi chele - through the Ottawa County Journey 4-1-1 Youth Mentorin g Program. Their first meeting occurred at a local coffee shop in Grand Haven where they became acqu ainted and di scovered they had much in common. From that point on, they were inseparable. In 2006, they even participated in the annual Labor Day Mackinac Bridge Run , and Mi chell e introduced Jami e to a new way of life. Undoubtedly, mentoring has made such a change in her life that she loves to share her uplifting ex peri ence with others. In February 2008, Jami e The Impact shared her personal story during a national web in ar for mentoring program staff who work with at- ri sk youth. And , at the October 2008 Mi chi gan Dropout Preven ti on Summit, Jam ie ex plained th e positive effect mentoring has had on her views about the impo1tance of ed ucation. " Wh en things were bad at home my grades would fall ," ex pl ained Jam ie. " If I' m ever hav ing a problem in Engli sh or 1-1 istory, sometimes Michele will co me over, pick me up, and help me with my hom ework. She always helps me focus." Jamie and Michele 's participation in the Ottawa Co unty Journey Youth Mentoring Program wi ll end in late 2009 once Jami e turns 18 - but that doesn' t mean they won 't continue their mentorin g relationship in the future. " We've set a goa l that we'll continue to meet once a month for coffee after I turn 18," sa id Jami e. A 2008 survey of 143 mentoring organizations in 47 Michigan counties concluded: 22,916 children were mentored in 2008. A number of these yo uth are disadvantaged, inc ludin g 730 that li ve in foster ho mes; 607 who have been di agnosed wi th a cog nitive di sab ility ; 168 ha ve a ph ys ica l di sa bility; and I ,245 have an incarcerated parent. 227 Michi ga n ment orin g o rga ni za tion s reg iste red with M entor Mi chi ga n.

Michele supports her and encourages her to reach that goa l. One hour a week can make a big difference in a young person 's fut ure. Mentor Mich igan suppo11s more than 225 organizations around the state that are changing lives by matching mentors with young people. And, Mentor Michigan provides those organizations with training a nd research. It fosters partnerships with businesses, faith-based and no nprofit orga ni zations, schoo ls, co ll eges and uni ve rs iti es, and state and loca l govern ment to s upport me ntoring. Mentor Michigan also builds public awa reness about the impo rtance of and the need for mentors by urging caring adu lts to " pass it on ," because sharing a little of yourse lf with a you ng person can reward both of yo u with li fe long benefits.

In 2009-2010, the MCSC is granting more than $8.2 million in federal funds to local communities for volunteer programs and activities. The MCSC is funding 19 AmeriCorps programs and 20 Learn and Serve programs. The Governor's Service Awards and Mentor Michigan are also prem ier programs of the MCSC. The MCSC is housed in the Michigan Department of Human Services, whose mission is to assist children , families , and vulnerable adults to be safe , stable, and self-supporting . The MCSC Board of Commissioners consists of 25 Governor appointed members who approve funding , determine policy, serve as ambassadors for service , and engage in resource development. For FY201 0, the State of Michigan's General Funds investment will leverage $9.4 million in federal funds that the MCSC receives from the Corporation for National and Community Service. These federal funds are helping financially struggling nonprofit organizations and schools meet the growing social need in our communities through service and volunteerism . Michigan's AmeriCorps This year more than 1200 individuals will serve our struggling communities through AmeriCorps. These AmeriCorps members will serve in 327 nonprofits and schools throughout the state addressing some of our state's toughest challenges. Members will provide foreclosure prevention and financial counseling , help ex-offenders re-enter society, help homeless individuals and families find permanent housing , organize literacy and tutoring programs for underperforming youth , mentor and support youth from disadvantaged circumstances , and support health care services to the most needy. Members often engage others in their efforts. On average, each member recruits an additional 23 volunteers to help address the needs in their communities. These volunteers give nearly 184,000 hours of service equating to an additional $3.7 million of services contributed to Michigan communities. As a result of their year of service, AmeriCorps members will earn an estimated $3.4 million in education awards to pay for college , vocational train ing programs, or repay student loans. At a time when many Michigan families are struggling to find employment or pay for college , AmeriCorps can be a solution. As our state is facing double digit unemployment, AmeriCorps is providing individuals with opportunities to gain valuable job skills, retrain for new careers, and the ability to stay in their home community. In fact, MCSC received $2.5 million from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act to expand AmeriCorps opportunities in Michigan . Research has shown that after one year of AmeriCorps service , members are more likely to stay in the community they served , pursue careers in the nonprofit and public sector, and continue to be civically involved . Online applications to AmeriCorps have risen dramatically in recent months, fueled by a "compassion boom " of Americans wanting to help their neighbors in tough times, increased interest in public service by millennials and boomers , the economy, and an "Obama effect" of people responding to the President's call to service. Between November 2008 and April 2009, AmeriCorps received 76,404 online applications , an increase of 230% from the 23,145 applications that came in the same six month period a year ago. 1 �Learn and Serve- Michigan Through Learn and Serve - Michigan , more than 25,000 K - 12 students across Michigan will be given the opportunity to connect meaningful service to their community with classroom instruction . These students will provide close to 540,000 hours of service through numerous opportunities to apply what they are learning in school to solve real community problems. Service-learning helps students understand the relevance of what they are studying and how it applies to the real world. It also helps them develop stronger bonds with their teachers and fellow classmates keeping them more connected to their school and less likely to dropout. Service-learning helps increase overall job experience and career awareness . It also creates a commitment among young people to be part of the solution and not part of the problem . Research shows that individuals that volunteer at an early age are more likely to continue to volunteer throughout their life time . We can count on these 25,000 students to be the next generation of community leaders and problem solvers . Mentor Michigan In addition to leveraging the federal funds , our State General funds are used to expand youth mentoring across the state. Through Mentor Michigan , the MCSC is supporting a network to 300 mentoring organizations that are changing lives by matching mentors with young people . Last year, these organizations served 23,000 youth with mentors. Since the inception of Mentor Michigan , the MCSC has leveraged $4.1 million in federal funds to help increase the capacity of local mentoring organization to serve more youth . Mentor Michigan continues to raise awareness about the importance of and need for mentors. Governor's Service Awards The Governor's Service Awards honor and celebrate Michigan citizens who volunteer their time to make communities better places to live . Since 1994, the Governor and his/her spouse have been recognizing Michigan's outstanding volunteers . The annual celebration includes a private reception hosted by the Governor followed by an awards presentation . The awards are given in eight categories highlighting the diverse nature of volunteers in our state. People from across Michigan nominate their friends , colleagues , family and neighbors for these prestig ious awards. New Federal Funding Opportunities This spring , Congress passed the Edward M. Kennedy Serve America Act. This landmark legislation charges the Corporation for National and Community Service and its partners , including the MCSC, to dramatically expand opportunities for Americans to serve, to focus on critical national issues, to be a catalyst for social innovation , and to support the nonprofit sector. The law both expands existing programs and creates new initiatives to increase service opportunities and strengthen our civic infrastructure. The Serve America Act, which goes into effect on October 1, would increase and enhance opportunities for Americans of all ages to serve by increasing AmeriCorps from 75,000 to 250,000 positions over the next eight years, while increasing opportunities for students and older Americans to serve. It will strengthen America's civic infrastructure through the social innovation fund , volunteer generation fund , and nonprofit capacity building fund . The Corporation 's FY 2010 budget has not been finalized to date so we estimate that the MCSC could leverage an additional $2.5 million this year through the Serve America Act initiatives . 2 � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

This grant was written in partnership with the MSU Extension Journey 4-H Youth Mentoring programs in Muskegon and Ottawa counties. We received notification that our proposal is being funded in full - $494,893 over three years. With this grant, we will provide 100 youth involved in the juvenile justice system in Ottawa and Muskegon Counties with a long-term mentoring relationship that engages meptors and youth in structured, outdoor, active, skill-building activities. Journey matches adult volunteer mentors with courtinvolved youth for a minimum of one year. The Outdoor Challenge component will offer matches the opportunity to go through a six-week Outdoor Challenge series to kick off their one year match, with clinics in orienteering, mountain biking, paddling, climbing, fishing, etc. On the seventh week the program culminates in a weekend campout. Monthly group activities will be planned throughout the year. Many volunteers are reluctant to mentor court-involved youth. This model will provide structured activities to reduce that anxiety. The Outdoor Challenge component will open doors to mentor recruitment through a variety of recreational groups. Mentor recruitment is challenging and this grant will provide us with an opportunity to implement a new and creative strategy. The hope is that men will be attracted to the mentoring program due to the outdoor component. Volunteers will share their passion for outdoor activities with a youth in need of a mentor. Mentor Michigan will monitor and support the pilot sites to replicate this model throughout the state. Mentor Michigan Census This fall, 161 mentoring programs that are registered in the Mentor Michigan Directory completed the Mentor Michigan Census between September 11 and October 9. This is the highest response rate ever for the Mentor Michigan Census. Preliminary reports are showing an increase of youth served by over 9,000 and an increase of mentors by over 2,800. This reflects an increase in small group mentoring. Also noteworthy is an increase in post match training showing an increased focus on quality relationships. Complete reports will be available in December. Annual Premier Mentoring Conference Michigan's 4th Annual Premier Mentoring Conference is being held on November 18 in East Lansing. Participants will have the opportunity to interact with leading authorities who will discuss best practices, quality enhancement, and much more. We will be offering several interactive workshops based on new and effective practices in the field of youth mentoring. Craig Bowman of Common Ground Consulting will provide our opening keynote along with two different workshops. Craig has provided consulting services for community-based, national , and international social profit organizations. He is an expert in organizational assessment, development, and management issues; and has provided on-site technical 4th 4th Annuol ~ ~ ~ Michigan's Premier Mentoring Conference assistance and capacity building to social sector organizations in the U.S. and abroad. Registration information is available at www.mentormichigan.org. Caregiver's Choice Mentor Michigan is working closely with MENTOR/The National Mentoring Partnership to promote Caregiver's Choice in Michigan. Caregiver's Choice allows mentoring programs to receive $1,000 for every �match involving a child of an incarcerated parent. Currently, 24 Michigan programs are approved for Caregiver's Choice. Beginning October 1st, Mentor Michigan began working to recruit an additional 55 programs to become approved Caregiver's Choice providers. MENTOR will be providing Mentor Michigan with $10,000 to conduct this outreach. Programs have struggled to identify children who have a parent in prison and as a result have struggled to utilize this funding in the past. So, Mentor Michigan has rekindled an existing partnership with the Department of Corrections which allows inmates or family members visiting the prison facilities to refer kids to Mentor Michigan. Since July, over 50 referrals have come from DOC and have been placed with mentoring organizations that are part of our network. Also, on September 23rd, Rev. Dr. Wilson Goode visited Huron Valley Correctional Facility, which is the only all-female prison in the state, and spoke to over 100 inmates. 163 children were referred by these inmates, and Mentor Michigan is working with mentoring organizations throughout the state to serve these youth. Mentor Michigan Spokesman: Lloyd Carr Former University of Michigan head football coach Lloyd Carr is Mentor Michigan's newest champion for recruiting mentors. In August, Coach Carr was the keynote speaker at the Heart of West Michigan United Way' s Schools of Hope kickoff in Grand Rapids and in October, Coach Carr was the keynote speaker the Big Brothers Big Sisters Michigan Capital Region Annual Dinner. More than 250 individuals attended BBBSMCR's fundraiser, making it one of their most successful events in recent years. Michigan Association of Mayors The Michigan Association of Mayors continues to lend its support to mentoring. Mayor McDowell from Adrian is the current president of the Association and makes mentoring a focus of their meetings. This group remains committed to bringing awareness to the importance of men taring and seeking support for mentoring in their communities. The Association also donated $1 ,500 to Mentor Michigan in August. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Face-to-face sessions were provided in Lansing (19 participants), in Grand Rapids (8 participants), and in Detroit (22 participants). Two webinars were provided in an effort to reach individuals and organizations that could not travel to one of the in-person meetings. Thirteen participants took advantage of these webinars. At the request of the Kellogg Foundation, an additional outreach session was provided to a group of approximately 12 local organizations in Battle Creek. Information on AmeriCorps State and VISTA was provided. In addition to the scheduled outreach sessions, AmeriCorps staff members have fielded countless inquiries from organizations across the state. 20 I 0-11 Application Process The MCSC received intents to apply for funding from 39 organizations across the state of Michigan. Concept papers are due to the MCSC on October 28, 2009. A peer review of applications will take place on November 10, 2009, followed by a staff review on November 13, 2009. Nine currently-funded programs are recompeting in this funding process. American Recovery and Reinvestment Act The first round of ARRA reports was due in October 2009. As of September 30, 2009, 175 members were enrolled in 11 programs.

Welcome and Introduction- Chairman Dan Mulhern The MCSC Board meeting was called to order at 2:11 p.m. by Chairman Dan Mulhern. He asked Commissioners to introduce themselves. II. Review and Approval of February 27, 2009 Minutes- Chairman Dan Mulhern Chairman Mulhern asked for a motion to approve the minutes from the February 27,2009 board meeting. Commissioner Mawby moved to approve the minutes; Commissioner Niester seconded the motion. The motion passed unanimously. III. Standing Committee Reports A. Review Executive Committee minutes from March 27, May 14, and June 9, 2009 meetings. Chairman Mulhern asked for a motion to approve the minutes from the Executive Committee meetings. Commissioner Parker moved to approve the minutes; Commissioner Niester seconded the motion. The motion passed unanimously. IV. New Business A. Transition Discussion 1. Mentor Michigan Sustainability Taskforce- Ms. VanDam explained that the taskforce is made up of Commissioners, mentoring organizations, and funders. The taskforce has met twice and have established three clear recommendations: 1) Mentor Michigan should remain a program of the MCSC. Long term it is the right fit for the MCSC as Mentor Michigan has received a lot of support through the organization. 2) Mentor Michigan needs dedicated leadership within the MCSC and therefore an Executive Director position should be created. With the passage of the Serve America Act, the MCSC leadership will need to be focused on its implementation and will not have the time needed to dedicate to Mentor Michigan. 3) Mentor Michigan needs to develop a strategic plan with a budget and funding sources to support the plan. It is also important to look for sustained funding to support the work of Mentor Michigan. The Taskforce recommends hiring a consultant to lead the strategic planning process. The goal is to unveil the plan in November at the state mentoring conference. Chairman Mulhern asked for a motion to approve the Taskforce recommendations. Commissioner Collier made a motion to support the recommendations. Commissioner Lawson seconded the motion. The motion passed unanimously. There was discussion around the recommendation of leaving Mentor Michigan at the MCSC rather than creating a separate nonprofit. We run the risk that mento ring may not be a priority of the next administration and also fundraising could be more difficult when you are asking them to support a state agency. The Taskforce felt that due to the economic situation, 2 �financially it would not be viable to create a new nonprofit organization. Mentor Michigan has been fortunate to receive foundation grants and corporate donations to support Mentor Michigan which have been deposited into a fund at the local community foundation. Because of this, these organizations don't feel like they are giving to a government agency. This has given us flexibility to support and administer Mentor Michigan. Also the feedback from the field is that there is credibility with the program located within the Commission. The bipartisan history of the Commission has also been a key factor of support of Mentor Michigan. Ms. VanDam shared there is not a designated line item in the state budget to support Mentor Michigan so from that perspective we wouldn' t be a target for the new administration. Currently, the only state dollars that have supported Mentor Michigan is the amount Commissioners have allocated from the Volunteer Investment Grants ($50,000) to support the staffing of Mentor Michigan. Fundraising will be needed as we have other obligations and staff that are supported through Mentor Michigan. There is not currently an annual budget for Mentor Michigan but Ms. VanDam stated that a budget will be drafted as part of the new strategic plan that will outline the staff financial obligations. Commissioner Collier shared that Gail Manza was complimentary of the partnership of Mentor Michigan and the Commission and one that we should continue. Her discussion of the different state models was helpful and showed that those organizations that are aligned with their state commission have been most successful. Ms. VanDam explained that there may be funds available through the Serve America ActN olunteer Generation Funds that may support the mentoring partnerships and we may be able to designate some of those funds to support Mentor Michigan. Chairman Mulhern stated that two things that are going to make this successful are a high quality executive director that will drive the work and a solid fundraising plan. Ms. VanDam explained that when Mentor Michigan began, Dan Mulhern and Mentor Michigan held regional meetings to assess the needs of mentoring organizations and asked how Mentor Michigan could add value to them. A work plan and guidelines were developed based on their feedback. With the economic situation Michigan currently is experiencing, the timing of the strategic plan is critical and it is a good time to re-evaluate how Mentor Michigan adds value to the mentoring programs. Commissioner Mawby asked if a group will be put together to develop the strategic plan and if so, it will be important to get the field involved in creating the plan to gain their support. 2. Transition Planning Committee- Commissioner Jewell shared that the committee drafted a strategy template to address short, mid and long term goals. The committee has discussed two key areas to move the organization forward; repositioning the organization to bring it into alignment with the Serve America Act and proposing a name change for the organization. Ms. VanDam explained that we can use the passage of the Serve America Act to take the work of the Commission to the next level and expand the culture of service. Especially at a time when we are struggling as a state economically, service can be used as a strategy to address the needs. We have an opportunity to use this to help the Commission be viewed as a vital piece of 3 �what is happening in the state which will help us with a transition to a new administration. With the passage of the Serve America Act, we need to create a new three year plan for service and how we will grow that and for the first time, it will need to be approved by the Governor. This is a great time for us to take a leadership role to bring organizations together to create a plan for Michigan. Commissioner Collier asked if other states have been going through transitions or name changes. Ms. VanDam said that in the last 2-3 years several states have gone through name changes to more align themselves with the work they do . Chairman Mulhern asked what the committee sees as accomplishing as an end result from the repositioning proposal. Commissioner Jewell stated that the committee is looking for someone to facilitate the committee and to use this opportunity to raise awareness of what the Commission is doing. Ms. VanDam believes that the creation ofthe plan, if done in the right way, helps position the state for receiving the Serve America Act resources. There' s going to be funding opportunities that are going to come from this Act and in some cases the Commission will be the best organization to apply for those funds. This gives us a great opportunity to have a plan that can be used to leverage those resources. Commissioner Jewell said that the messaging will be key with the transition. We can talk about the impact that volunteers and service has on the economy. Commissioner Parker wants us to make sure we facilitate the recognition of those organizations that are doing the work and that it doesn't become just about us. Commissioner Lawson wants to make sure we have everyone at the table (United Way, 211) when we have the discussions. Diana Algra shared that the work done at the local level sometimes needs a push from the state level and sees the role of the Commission should focus on getting all citizens engaged in service and giving back to their communities. The local communities don't have the resources and they need the help of the state organization to be the champion. Commissioner Mawby asked what the process would be for a name change. Ms. VanDam explained that the Governor' s Office stated that changing of the name would take an Executive Order from the Governor. The Senate would have 60 days to deny it and if they don't, it goes into effect. Chairman Mulhern asked for a motion to support the following statement: The Commission would develop a repositioning plan to align our service to national goals to assure the highest caliber work and best reputation in the country to fulfill our mission and support volunteer organizations to create a culture of service. Commissioner Parker made a motion to support this statement with the additional statement added to support volunteer organizations. Commissioner Collier seconded the motion. The motion carried unanimously. The implementation for the repositioning plan will include the creation of the committee to draft the plan. The committee will include Commissioners Lawson, Bloodworth, Parker, Betley. 4 �Chairman Mulhern asked for a motion that an acceptable name would be brought to the next meeting for approval from Commissioners. Commissioner Parker asked whether we are definitely going to change the name, will they come with recommendations, or will there be recommendations but we have the option of keeping the same name? Chairman Mulhern said that once we review the recommendations, there would still be the option to keep the same name. Commissioner Lawson asked whether we should change the name prior to a new administration and then have the new Governor want to rename the organization. The rebranding may also appeal to the campaign. Commissioner Bloodworth sees the merits of both sides but feels that we need to be careful and that we stay focused on our mission and hope that politics don't play such a significant part and that it would be dangerous to let them determine our direction. Commissioner Niester made a motion to approve the recommendation to bring possible name changes to the next board meeting. Commissioner Bloodworth seconded the motion. The motion passed unanimously. 3. Succession Planning Committee- Commissioner Lawson gave an update on the tasks of the Committee. One task was to find a replacement for the Executive Director, of which Paula Kaiser VanDam was named. The other task was to replace the chair of the Commission. V em Davis Anthony had agreed to serve as chair and was appointed to the Commission in February. Due to other commitments, she has chosen not to serve as chair. There was a conversation with Ken Whipple with CMS Energy to gauge his interest in serving as chair during the transition. Due to his limited time commitment because he serves on many other boards, he declined but stated he will offer names as options. Chairman Mulhern asked Commissioners if they had any names they would like the Committee to consider to please forward them to Commissioner Lawson. 4. Board Development Committee - Commissioner Bloodworth explained that the Committee will be looking at those Commissioners whose terms are up this year to see if they are interested in serving another term. New Commissioners will be recruited that can help through the transition. V. Executive Director Report- Paula Kaiser VanDam A. Ameri Corps 1. AmeriCorps Formula Funding- Marcy Bishop Kates gave an overview of AmeriCorps competitive and formula funding (see memo from Marcy Bishop Kates and Jeanine Yard dated June 18, 2009). The MCSC conducted an open application for the 2009-1 0 funding. Fourteen organizations applied for funding which included one current competitively funded program, eight current formula funded programs, and five new applicant organizations. Five additional current programs applied for continuation funding. During the review process, ten applications were approved to move forward for funding including two new applicants, Ingham County Health Department (Power of We Consortium) and the Literacy Center of West Michigan. Three of the applications were not 5 �selected to move forward during peer and staff review. One applicant, Battle Creek Public School, was recommended forward with revisions but the applicant determined they would be unable to manage the program and dropped out of the process. The MCSC will fund two new, six recompete, and five continuing programs out of the 2009-10 formula allotment of $2,626,360. Commissioner Parker asked whether there is something we need to look at in relationship to the difficulties or challenges some organizations have in applying for ArneriCorps funds. The need is there but they don't qualify due to different factors. Ms. VanDam has the same concern. With the expansion of ArneriCorps through the Serve America Act and due to the state's economy and nonprofit funding needs, we may be challenged to expand because organizations simply won't have the match fund money. Through discussions with the Corporation, there is a match waiver policy. As we go through the next funding outreach we will be pushing that policy. In the past, the board has been conservative about giving match waivers for ArneriCorps funds. During these economic times we will need to reconsider this and look at how we can make it more viable. Ms. VanDam stated that due to the economic struggles of nonprofits, there has been an increase in interest in hosting ArneriCorps members. We are receiving calls weekly from nonprofits asking how they can get ArneriCorps members. Commissioner Collier suggested that we clearly want to capture every opportunity and if there are issues related to match or capacity, let Commissioners know so that they can help so that we don't leave any opportunity untouched. Chairman Mulhern asked for a motion to support the staff recommendations for the formula funding. Commissioner Bloodworth made a motion to support staff recommendations. Commissioner Swain seconded the motion. The motion passed unanimously. 2. AmeriCorps Funding Overview- Ms. VanDam explained that Commissioners have a chart in their packet outlining the 2009-10 ArneriCorps funding including formula, competitive and ARRA. In total the MCSC will have 1,117 ArneriCorps members serving next year and more than $7.3 million in funding. The ARRA funds could only go to existing grantees to fund additional ArneriCorps member slots or for match replacement funding. 3. ArneriCorps Program Update- Jeanine Yard gave an overview of the ARRA and Competitive funding . She also shared that ArneriCorps week took place in May. The MCSC incorporated the Russ Mawby Signature Service Project into ArneriCorps week. ArneriCorps programs planned projects in their communities (see ArneriCorps week recap for community projects). The Russ Mawby Signature Service Project was the official closing event for national ArneriCorps Week with Julie Fisher Cummings, a CNCS board member, giving remarks during the closing ceremony. More than 250 members participated in the event which took place in Grand Traverse neighborhood in Flint. The Commission will be receiving five new AmeriCorps*VISTA's; one will focus on the inclusion efforts to help engage individuals with disabilities in service, one will focus on cross-stream activities to help coordinate the communication between national 6 �service programs in Michigan and will help support the advisory committee of national service folks; and one will work with the Learn & Serve program. Two VISTA's will be working with Mentor Michigan. B. Learn and Serve- Paula Kaiser VanDam 1. Learn & Serve School-based Funding- The MCSC offers three categories of school-based grants- planning, implementation and institutionalization. We received applications from 25 school districts or public school academies and staff is recommending 20 ofthe applicants for funding for a total of$361 ,339. Chairman Mulhern asked for a motion to approve staff recommendations for the Learn and Serve- Michigan school-based grants. Commissioner Parker made a motion to support the staff recommendations. Commissioner Niester seconded the motion. The motion passed unanimously. Commissioner Lawson stated that metropolitan Detroit is absent from funding and asked what could be done about it. Ms. VanDam shared that the MCSC has been given a VISTA that will be assigned to Learn & Serve and will focus on the Detroit area. The VISTA has worked for DPS and helped to write the DPS grant this year. She will work in the Detroit area several days a week. There has been discussions with City Year on a dropout model they are interested in receiving additional AmeriCorps funding for and we have asked them to have servicelearning incorporated into that model. Commissioner Lawson suggested having a conversation with Skillman around their five communities and also conversation with the United Way in SE Michigan to see where they could help with getting service-learning into the Detroit area schools. Commissioner Lawson and Collier will help facilitate the conversation. Chairman Mulhern commended the staff for their efforts to get service-learning into the Detroit area schools. 2. Learn and Serve Update - Ms. VanDam shared that the MCSC received a small grant from CNCS to focus on social media efforts. We awarded web 2.0 social media grants to promote service-learning and online learning communities. The Service-Learning Youth Council (SL YC) has nine members and met on March 7 for a day of orientation and training. They will create service-learning outreach strategies. We are partnering with Kari Pardoe to connect our SLYC members with her youth for a summer camp. Commissioner Collier suggested that the SLYC members should be invited to a MCSC meeting. Due to the fact that they are students, we wouldn't be able to get all the members to a meeting but may be able to get 2 or 3 members. C. Mentor Michigan Update- Amber Reiss shared that Meijer has agreed to participate again this year in the Father's Day gift card promotion where $2 for every $25 gift card sold on Saturday, June 201h will be donated to Mentor Michigan. The proceeds will be granted out to mentoring programs across the state in mini-grants. Ms. Reiss also shared that there have been several federal funding opportunities over the past few months for mentoring programs. Mentor Michigan hosted six corlference calls to 7 �provide support and answer questions about guidelines to help programs determine if they would qualify. Mentor Michigan applied for a grant through OJJDP with the MSU Extension Journey 4-H Youth Mentoring programs in Muskegon and Ottawa counties. This grant would provide mentoring relationships for youth in the juvenile justice system in a structured manner. D. Volunteer Investment Grants- Paula Kaiser VanDam informed Commissioners that the Executive Order issued to balance the FY09 state budget included the reduction of the VIG by $50,000. To recoup those funds it was decided that the grants would end three months early (ending June 30, 2009). In addition we were informed that VIG would be reduced by $200,000 for FYIO. Ms. VanDam made a plea to the DHS director explaining why these resources were so vital at this time and received notification that VIG would only receive a $50,000 reduction. E. Governor's Service Awards- Janice Harvey shared that fundraising efforts for 2009 Governor's Service Awards were successful and that we raised $127,500. Thanks to Commissioners for their support and efforts in helping to raise the funds. An overview ofthe proceeds from the 2008 event were reviewed and staff recommended that the remainder of the proceeds be distributed as follows: $48,592 to the Mentor Michigan fund to support the strategic planning and hiring of an interim executive director and $20,000 to the Commission Development fund for implementation of the transition plan and development of State Service Plan. Chairman Mulhern asked for a motion to approve staff recommendations for the 2008 Governor's Service Awards proceeds. Commissioner Smith made a motion to support the recommendations. Commissioner Kwak seconded the motion. Commissioner Parker suggested that some of the proceeds may be used to help with match funds or a direct contribution to a program to help support their programming. Chairman Mulhern asked if there was room to build in flexibility for granting out funds to programs. Ms. VanDam agreed and also stated that we will have the proceeds from the 2009 GSA. Chairman Mulhern amended his motion to support the recommendation but to also look for ways to push the money out to the programs. The motion passed unanimously. Chairman Mulhern thanked Commissioners for their help in raising the funds. F. National Service Update- Paula Kaiser VanDam 1. Serve America Act- Ms.VanDam gave an overview of the Serve America Act. The passage of this Act is the largest expansion of national service programing in decades. Not only is it going to increase some of the existing programs of the Corporation but will create new grant opportunities. The Act establishes a summer of service program where disadvantage youth can earn $500 education awards, it creates a youth engagement zone to engage secondary school students in service, as well as a semester of service in high school, and it expands AmeriCorps from 75 ,000 members to 250,000 members a year between now and 2017. The education awards will be increased to $5,350 from $4,725 and members over the age of 55 can transfer their education awards. All of the programs with the Serve America Act take effect October 1st. The Act will authorize the Social Innovation Fund ($50 million) which will allow us to 8 �leverage private sector funds to help address big social issues. It also creates the Volunteer Generation Fund which will help with volunteer infrastructure. It was authorized in the legislation at $50 million in the first year with $25 million going to state commissions on a formula basis and $25 million in competitive funds for state commissions and national and local nonprofits. It also establishes a nonprofit capacity building program and will streamline program management, cost-effectiveness and accountability. 2. FY2010 CNCS Budget- Ms. VanDam went through the CNCS budget summary for the FY20 10 budget. The State Commission Admin Grants are awarded to administer primarily AmeriCorps but we have flexibility on how we spend that money. The money is awarded on population (usually around $320,000 to $400,000). With the passage of the Serve America Act, the state commission association fought for an increase in this funding given the new responsibilities that will be required due to the Act. The minimum and the maximum amount increased but there was no language about growing the overall admin appropriation (the minimum went from $125 ,000 to $250,000 and the maximum went from $750,000 to $1 million). So if the appropriation doesn't grow, states (like Michigan) that were getting more than the minimum will not get an increase. 3. CNCS Update- The President has decided to remove the Inspector General from his position. We had an IG investigation into one of our AmeriCorps programs. We are hopeful with the change in IG's that the investigation will end. 4. Congressional Visits - Ms. VanDam visited several Congressional members' district offices. Some Commissioners and grantees joined her for the meetings. 5. United We Serve- The President and First Lady will be launching a summer initiative on Monday, June 22. The Governor and First Gentleman will also launch the initiative on Monday with events in Battle Creek and Saginaw. It is an 81 -day service campaign focused on recruiting volunteers around economic recovery issues. They are asking people to register volunteer opportunities and service projects at serve.gov. The MCSC will be giving out Presidential Volunteer Service Awards this summer to those that qualify. Commissioners would like the MCSC staff to draft an editorial for Commissioners to send in to their local papers. G. Financial Report- Garry Gross outlined the financial statement presented to Commissioners. VI. Partner Update -Diana Algra distributed the Snapshot on Giving & Volunteering in Michigan and the Economic Benefits of Michigan' s Nonprofit Sector. She announced that Amy Smitter, Executive Director of Michigan Campus Compact, will be leaving the organization. Jackie Taylor will be the interim executive director. VII. Public Comment - Kyle Caldwell announced that Commissioner Bloodworth will serve on the MNA Board of Directors. 9 �Evan Albert shared that the CNCS State Office has benefitted through the ARRA funds with an increase in AmeriCorps*VISTA members (from 30-35 members to 95 new members) and gave an overview of their new projects.

Welcome and Introduction- Chairman Dan Mulhern The MCSC Board meeting was called to order at 12:10 p.m. by Chairman Dan Mulhern. He asked Commissioners to introduce themselves. II. Review and Approval of June 18, 2009 Minutes - Chairman Dan Mulhern Chairman Mulhern asked for a motion to approve the minutes from the June 18, 2009 board meeting. Commissioner Lawson moved to approve the minutes; Commissioner Mawby seconded the motion. The motion passed unanimously. III. Standing Committee Reports A. Review Executive Committee minutes from August 14, October 8, and October 23 2009 meetings. Chairman Mulhern asked for a motion to approve the minutes from the Executive Committee meetings. Commissioner Mawby moved to approve the minutes; Commissioner Maisner seconded the motion. The motion passed unanimously. IV. New Business A. Election of Chair- Chairman Mulhern shared the history of the past chair (Michelle Engler) stepping down and Russ Mawby nominated to serve as chair. Dr. Mawby invited Dan to serve as chair after the Governor's election in 2003. That strategy worked well during that transition and would be used again for the upcoming administration transition as First Gentleman Dan Mulhern will be stepping down as chair. He will continue to serve on the MCSC Board. The Board Development Committee searched for someone that was nonpartisan and had a commitment to service. They identified Jim Vella from Ford Motor Company Fund to serve as the transition chair. After the Governor election, the new Governor's spouse will be approached to serve as chair. Chairman Mulhern asked for a motion to approve the nomination of Jim Vella as chair of the MCSC. Commissioner Collier made a motion to support the nomination. Commissioner Parker seconded the motion. The motion passed unanimously. Mr. Mulhern shared that we have had incredible success at the MCSC and he attributed that to the great leadership at the MCSC. There are great accomplishments over the past seven years and have a good group of Commissioners that will ensure continued success. Building a culture of service is going to be more important than ever. It is the meeting ground between right and left and we all agree that great service is great service. We need to do a better job to commtmicate the message that a small amount of investment will leverage a lot of talent. He shared his appreciation for everyone' s support and enjoyed his time as chair. New Chairman Vella said that it is an honor to serve as the chair of the MCSC. There are a lot of people that are counting on us and a lot of opportunity and he looks forward to moving the MCSC forward . 2 �B. Transition Committee Update 1. Board Development Committee - Conm1issioner Bloodworth welcomed Chairman Vella. The committee members have reached out to the current board members to gage their interest and commitment in continuing to serve on the board and had great feedback. There is cw-rently one seat to be filled as Elizabeth Bunn has resigned. That seat will need to be filled with a union representative. If Commissioners have any recommendations they should pass them on to Commissioner Bloodworth. With the passage of the Service America Act, there is a new requirement that AmeriCorps programs that want to place members in schools will need to consult with the unions to be able to do that. Ms. VanDam suggested someone representing the school unions to ensw-e the accessibility of AmeriCorps members in schools. It will be important that the person is an advocate of service. 2. Mentor Michigan Strategic Planning Committee - Conm1issioner Campbell shared that the committee is working on clarifying Mentor Michigan's mission and vision and identifying strategic issues. Two subcommittees will be meeting on Resource Development and Return on Investment/Research. The core pieces the committee is looking at from the providers standpoint is how to educate funders on the quality program standards and the importance of investing in quality programs. The other primary piece being able to demonstrate the return on investment. It is important to communicate the impact that mentoring is making. They will present the strategic plan to Commissioners at the January meeting. C. State Service Plan- Commissioner Lawson gave an update on the State Service Plan Committee. They met via conference call on October 16. With the passage ofthe Serve America Act, the MCSC is required to develop a 3-year State Service Plan. The plan will identify what we want to deliver, how we are going to deliver it, who will be om allies in the delivery, what do we want to measw-e, and what is it going to look like. A survey tool will be distributed to the field that will focus on the needs of the field, trends, and should identify key issues to address. Committee members will meet in November to develop the framework for the plan and the survey questions. Sue Hyatt, a consultant with the CNCS, will come to the meeting to help develop the fmmat and platform and what should be asked in the survey. Once the sw-vey is ready, Commissioners will be asked to distribute to their networks (corporate, education, foundations, etc). The survey will be distributed in December with results compiled in January. The results will be presented to Commissioners at the January board meeting and then key components of the plan will be developed. The MCSC will conduct public hearings around the state in March to get feedback from the field on the plan. The MCSC board members will approve the plan in April and it will be unveiled during National Volunteer Week. State Service Plan Part II: Commissioner Lawson suggested that we convene a finance/budget subcommittee to look at the elements of the budget and revenue stream (actual vs. projected) to apply the state service plan to revenue streams and opportunities. We can have a great service plan but we have to have a way to 3 �support it with resources. Commissioner Mulhern gave an example of the Governor' s Fitness Foundation and recommended we use their model to craft a corporate/community program software training program to market. Ms. VanDam stated that the plan is a requirement from CNCS . It will be important for us to think boldly about the needs of our state and how we can address them with service. There will be funding through the Serve America Act for those that have a strong plan around service. This plan also needs to be "Michigan' s Plan" for service, not just the MCSC ' s plan, and that we have a number of organizations supporting and implementing the plan (Volunteers Centers, United Way' s, etc.). When you look at the Giving and Volunteering Report, the numbers have remained the same. A strong service plan could improve those numbers. Chairman Vella shared that the finance/budget shouldn't be Part II, but part of the original plan. Ms. VanDam also explained that there will be funds through the Serve America Act called the Volunteer Generation Fund ($8-1 0 million) that the MCSC will have access to and could help fund the implementation of the plan. 50% of the funds will be given out to state commissions through formula funding and 50% of the funds will be given out competitively to national nonprofits and state commissions. So there will be some funding to support the plan. Other suggestions for the plan: • It will be extremely important to gain support from the field and legislators for service. • Make sure we cover all demographics. The make up of the Commission will help make sure we reach all demographics and Commissioners will be encouraged to share the survey and plan with their networks. • What will people pay for in terms of sustainability and what is the ratio that we spend and what will the government spend? (ex: if volunteers leverage 10 people will the government support 1?) • It will be important to have MSU Extension involved. Their ability to mobilize people is incredible. • What will the new Governor' s priorities be? • Should the focus be on sustainability, service, volunteerism, mentoring or do you think it's about tutoring, senior citizens, early childhood, environment? D. MCSC Financial Future 1. Financial Report- Ms. Van Dam went through the fmancial statement for FY09 and Operational Funding for 151 quarter FYI 0 that was distributed to Commissioners. She presented the General Fund Budget projected for FYlO. The MCSC took a budget cut of$662,000 (a 50% cut). After cutting several areas of the MCSC budget, we are still projecting to be $221 ,000 over budget. We need to create a structure to be able to carry out the work of the MCSC. The salary/wage/benefits portion of the budget included the currently vacant deputy director position. It will be important for the board to look how we need to be structured as an organization to succeed and not filling the deputy position may not be a decision we want to make. We will need to make decisions in the next 30 days if there are going to be stafflayoffs because we cannot carry positions that we cannot afford. We have $100,000 in private funds in the state system that 4 �we can expend to offset some of these costs. Once the board establishes some core mission and priorities, the staff will propose a revised budget to the Executive Committee to approve with recommendations for staffing. Chairman Vella added that the longer we wait to make the cuts, the bigger the cuts will have to be. There was conversation around whether DHS is the right department to be located in and the consensus was that it is. Commissioners asked what areas we are committed to through grants. Ms. VanDam explained that our core mission through grantmaking is AmeriCorps and Learn and Serve. We also are committed to supporting Mentor Michigan. GSA is supported through the private funds at the Capital Region Community Foundation along with a majority of Mentor Michigan's support. With the expansion of AmeriCorps and with the current needs of Michigan, we have seen an increase in the interest from nonprofits to apply for AmeriCorps funding. We will not be able to support the programs without the appropriate staffing. Commissioner Collier stated that we need to raise some money but we have to expend the private funds in the State system fust. There is almost $100,000 in private funds in the state fund . Commissioner Collier suggested we use that funding to help cover the budget deficit. He also questioned whether we should use some of the GSA proceeds or Mentor Michigan funds at the CRCF to access additional federal funds and if we should get a loaned executive to fill the deputy slot. It is also important to educate the legislature, specifically the nonprofit caucus, that $1 in state funds generates $9 in federal funds . Commissioner Campbell agreed that educating the legislature is very important and that a loaned executive is a good idea. He also agreed that using some of the funds creatively from the CRCF to leverage the work we need to do and keep the organization growing. While we are working on a political solution, we also need to come with a realistic solution about how we reduce expenditures on promoting and supporting the program side. Commissioner Parker stated that our core values are funding nonprofit organizations and promoting volunteerism and Mentor Michigan is part of that. He feels like Learn and Serve is a great program but if we have to reduce or cut back on something that he would suggest it in that area. Ms. VanDam stated that match waivers are offered for AmeriCorps funding and that there is a possibility we could ask for waivers around match funding for Learn and Serve. And in the future we may explore increasing the match funding from the locals. Commissioner Betley suggested that as a Commission we need to look at how we can generate more resources and funding from non-traditional funding sources and Commissioners need to be prepared help make this happen. Commissioner Campbell stated that we need to communicate to legislators the ROI of volunteers (ex. : we have 10,000 more volunteers, what difference did that make?). Commissioner Parker shared that as a politician, they react more to public outcry. We need to get our AmeriCorps programs to contact their legislators and explain what the cuts mean to their programs and their communities. Chairman Vella stated that we want to make sure when we are done with this exercise, that we are the program that we want to be and that we are addressing our core values. We have a valuable platform that can drive others. Chairman Vella asked Ms. VanDam to draft a budget recommendation for cuts and present it to the MCSC Executive Committee in the next two weeks. 5 �The final piece Ms. VanDam presented is the 2009 Governor's Service Awards proceeds (netted $96,130 this year). At this point we are not recommending how those proceeds be spent as we thought it was important for Commissioners to set the priorities and then staff will come back with recommendations on how to spend the proceeds around the priorities. V. Executive Director Report - Paula Kaiser VanDam A. National Service Update1. Cities of Service - There is a national effort that is being spearheaded by Mayor Bloomberg' s office in New York City to create Cities of Service. The Rockefeller Foundation will be awarding 10 cities $200,000 over two years to support their local efforts to develop a service plan on behalf of their mayor. We will be approaching mayors in Michigan, specifically Detroit and Grand Rapids, to sign on to this initiative. The MCSC could use Commissioners help to get the word out to mayors in their communities about the effort. 2. Summer of Service- The CNCS announced a funding opportunity to engage middle school students in a " Summer of Service" . If they complete 100 hours of service through the summer program they are eligible to receive a $500 education award for college. 3. Serve America Act - With the passage of the Serve America Act, the competitive funding that was available only for states, is now open to national direct organizations and state commissions so the stakes are much higher for us as we are now competing with those that have had there own pot of money (City Year, Teach for America, etc.). So we can' t just cast the net out in hopes that we get good applications, we ned a more strategic approach to program development. As we look at the five core areas that the CNCS has identified, we may want to pull together experts to help us to develop larger scale AmeriCorps programs in these area. Commissioner Lawson suggested forming a committee to look at creative ways to address this. Ms. VanDam explained that national programs that want to operate a program in our state must consult the state commission. 4. CNCS Site Visit - Our CNCS program officer visited the MCSC in September. The only issue that came out was the timeliness of cash reimbursements for our grantees. We will be addressing the issue with DHS as they handle the cash payments. We will be responding with how we will address the issue. Otherwise; they felt we were well suited to take advantage of the new opportunities through the Serve America Act. 5. United We Serve- Commissioners received a recap of the MCSC activities around United We Serve. Ms. VanDam was also asked to present at the CNCS Board meeting on our activities. B. Program Updates- Paula Kaiser VanDam 1. AmeriCorps- The MCSC is in a funding process. We received 34 applications requesting over $9 million and will be evaluating the applications for recommendations for funding. AmeriCorps program staff are also working on the ARRA reports that are due in October. 6 �2. Learn and Serve- The MCSC partnered with Kari Pardoe in a Leadership Camp this summer and included some Learn and Serve youth. 3. Mentor Michigan a. Mentor Michigan received a grant from the OJJDP in partnership with the Ottawa County MSU Extension for over $494,000 over three years. With the grant we will pilot a program to provide youth involved in the juvenile justice program with mentors that will engage them in structured, outdoor, skill-building activities. b. Mentor Michigan Census- The Wave VII Census was just completed and we had the highest response rate ever. Preliminary data shows we have an increase in youth served by over 9,000 and an increase of mentors by over 2,800. Full reports will be available in December and released in January. c. The Mentoring Conference will take place on November 18th. Commissioners are invited to attend. d. Caregiver's Choice- We are finalizing a Memorandum of Understanding with MENTOR for $10,000 to conduct outreach about the Caregiver's Choice program. They've asked us to encourage mentoring organizations around the state to register and be approved to receive Caregiver's Choice vouchers. Programs will receive $1,000 for every match involving a child of an incarcerated parent. We currently have 24 programs registered and our goal is to recruit an additional 55 programs. 4. Communications Update- Ms. VanDam shared information on the "I Participate" campaign. 5. VISTAs -The MCSC currently has 5 VISTAs serving at the Commission. VI. Partner Update - Kyle Caldwell shared that MNA will be celebrating their 20th anniversary next year. They will be moving to a new location and will be located with the Michigan Association ofUnited Ways, the Capital Area United Way, and the Capital Region Community Foundation to form a Nonprofit Center. As far as policy issues, they are currently focused on healthcare reform for nonprofits. They are also involved in the 2010 Census to encourage residents to participate so that Michigan doesn 't lose any Congressional seats. He shared that they are in discussions with the Governor's Office to partner on a program called Michigan College Access Network and will know by December if there will be a partnership. Jackie Taylor (MCC)- The MCC is working towards this partnership with the Governor's office that will include access and success and how it aligns with engagement, service and service-learning in the K-1 6 education. MCC received a Learn and Serve grant, Pay it Forward, and are joining Kentucky and Ohio, to use service learning at the college level to support nonprofits. The Annual Institute will take place on February 9-10, 2010 at Grand Traverse Resort. Evan Albert (CNCS)- We had a VISTA supervisor training recently. We did an informal poll to see how many supervisors had projects that were approved and funded in the last three months and about a 1/3 of them raised their hands which shows that interest in VISTAs has exploded recently. The Senior Volunteer Programs have been hard hit by state cuts and additional cuts are looming. These programs rel y on the state funds to help meet the federal match requirements so they ar struggling to meet the match. When 7 �• we begin to draft the state service plan, we need to make sure we address the budget issues of the senior programs. VII. Public Comment Commissioner Betley thanked the Commission for allowing her to attend the Commissioner Institute and distributed a recap of the training. She encouraged other Commissioners to attend if they have the opportunity. VIII.

The stakes have never been higher and the 20 I 0 Census will have a significant impact on the finances and the political representation of the state of Michigan over the next decade. Local efforts to ensure full accounting of residents are critical for the following reasons: • The census affects federal and state funding. Nationally, the census helps detennine the distribution to state and local governments of roughly $400 billion a year in federal funds- or $4 trillion over a ten-year period. Census experts estimate that for every person not counted in 20 I 0, local government wi II lose $12,000 during the next ten years in federal funding alone; in other words, every 10,000 additional people counted would mean $120 million more in federal funding for the area. • The census affects community and economic planning. Census data guide both government and private sector planners on where to build new roads, schools, and businesses; provide services for the elderly; locate job training centers; and more. • The census affects Michigan's voice in the federal government. The census determines how many seats each state has in the U.S. House of Representatives and influences how congressional and legislative districts are drawn. Based on the count from the 2000 Census, Michigan lost a congressional seat. Population projections show that Michigan could lose one if not two congressional seats after the 2010 census due to national population shifts. To help meet the need for a fair and accurate count in Michigan during the 20 I 0 Census, we have partnered with the Nonprofit Voter Engagement Network and their Nonprofits Count! Campaign. We are pleased to provide a complimentary copy of the Nonprofit Voter Engagement Network's A Census Toolkit for Nonprofits. This kit features everything a nonprofit needs to get involved with the 20 I 0 Census including a popular factsheet series, a CD-ROM, sample Census forms, a Census Bureau partnership fonn and many more resources. MNA and the Michigan Nonprofit Complete Count Committee are currently accepting proposals from nonprofit organizations for activities- public education, outreach, communications, special events, and mobi lizing- specifically aimed at increasing mail return rates of census fonns in designated areas in Michigan. The deadline for submission of proposals is September 28, 2009 . You can find a copy of the RFP at www. mnaonline.org/census.asp. We look forward to working with you to make sure that every person in Michigan is counted!

I recently graduated from MSU in May 2009 with a B.A. in Political Theory and Constitutional Democracy and a minor in Sociology. I will be working to expand the capacity and scope of the Mentor Michigan initiative by conducting outreach to new mentoring programs, strengthening our relationships with current organizations, and working to improve the range and accuracy of the Mentor Michigan Directory. Ifyou have any questions about the Mentor Michigan Directory, feel free to email me at timmerk!almichigan.gov.

Ben Gu/ker - Mentor Michigan AmeriCorps *VISTA My name is Ben Gulker, and I am excited to be spending the next twelve months working w ith the Mentor Michigan team as an AmeriCorps*Y ISTA member. I was born and raised in Holland, Michigan to proud parents of four children. All six of us are proud to call Michigan our home and st ill reside in this beautiful state. I was homeschooled for several years but graduated from Holland Public Schools in 200 I. Go Dutch! After graduation, I attended Spring Arbor University where I earned a BA in Philosophy/Religion with a minor in Psychology.

After three years of studying and learning, I earned my Master of Divinity degree and graduated in May 2008. �This year, I will be joining the Mentor Michigan team on several promising initiatives.

I owe so much of who I am and where I am today to generous people who took the time to invest in me. I am grateful for these people, and it is one of my life goals to give back to others in the same way that others have given to me. I am thrilled to be back in my home state, and I am excited for the work that lies ahead. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

We also request that two new programs (Ingham County Health Department and Literacy Center of West Michigan) receive $15,000 each for use during program start-up. These funds can be used for staff time, supplies, and/or other expenditures to help ensure that the program has a solid foundation before members are enrolled. Finally, we request approval for additional formula funding for Eastern Michigan University, the Michigan Coalition Against Homelessness, and Michigan Habitat for Humanity: • The Jumpstart Michigan AmeriCorps program was approved for its sixth year of competitive funding for 2009-10. However, due to a national strategic planning process that ended in June, Jumpstart is closing 17 sites across the country, including two Michigan sites (Eastern Michigan University and University ofMichigan-Dearborn). Therefore they have decided to rescind the competitive funding. Both sites were very concerned that pre-school children in their communities would go unserved. CNCS has granted us permission to grant part of our unexpended funds to Eastern Michigan University as the legal applicant to run a program which will serve the same populations for 2009-10. • The Michigan Coalition Against Homelessness was funded competitively starting in 2009-10. We request approval to add a formula grant for MiCAH to allow them to partner with the Community Economic Development Association of Michigan (CEDAM). This partnership will enroll 20 members to address the foreclosure crisis. • We have forged a partnership between Michigan Habitat for Humanity and the Michigan Department of Corrections to pilot a Civic Justice Corps. This endeavor will enroll 16 full-time members to provide professional development, skills training, and pro-social activities for court involved individuals. It will also make fifty minimum-time education awards available for court-involved individuals. Michigan's AmeriCorps staff is pleased to preserve these funds in Michigan, and to expand our programs to serve more individuals across the state. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

However, the majority of the Commissions reported a high level of involvement from their Commissioners. Most Commissions are actively involved in assisting their Commissions in policy making, public relations, advocacy, and programming. It appeared that most Commissions utilized their meetings with Commissioners as active working sessions. In almost all instances, Commissioners were asked to serve on a working committee throughout the year. Committees were then provided with time at each Commission meeting to work on their Committee's assignments. Committees varied from state to state and even in some states from year to year, depending on Commission priorities. Common Committees were PR/Marketing, Advocacy/Legislative, Special Events, and State Service Plans/Planning. Presentation Highlights Jackie Norris, Senior Policy Advisor, CNCS • Grow and learn as Commissioners. • Find niche within the Commission that best utilizes your skills. • Develop a common voice that illustrates the positive difference Commission programs, projects, activities are making in the community. • Create a brand of service and common voice that answers the question, "so, what?" • Establish "strange bedfellows"- bring people in that are nongrantee affiliated. For example, people who are non-partisan, focused in another area such as sports figures, entertainers, insurance agents, teachers etc. and pull them in around serving. �Presentation Highlights continued Vincent !lustre, Louisiana Commissioner • Promote volunteerism through technology. • Market to non-profits • Engage local media on regular basis- become known as experts on volunteerism. • Develop a coalition of volunteerism supporters so you have them when needed. • Political support for volunteerism is very wide, but develop strategies for increasing the depth of that support. • Focus on expanding key networks. Lindsay Tracy, Colorado Commission Chair • Establish clear expectations for Commissioners. • Enable Commissioners to be active participants on Commission and in community on behalf of Commission. • Strategize on developing and maximizing relationships that boost visibility and support Commission. Sue Hyatt, Project TAAP • Capitalize on interest in volunteerism generated by Serve America Act. • Forge strong collaborations with groups focused on volunteerism. Noteworthy Announcements: The Corporation for National and Community Service's National Conference will be held in New York City, June 28-30, 2010.
