It offers personal and professional development workshops, features an exhibit hall with informational displays by each AmeriCorps program , and highlights the variety of programs within the national service family. Throughout the day, members network, share resources, and are motivated by speakers from various service backgrounds. The swearing-in ceremony, featuring the AmeriCorps Pledge, concludes the Member Celebration and reaffirms members' commitment to AmeriCorps and national service. 2008 THEME: "Unwritten!" Our goal is to celebrate the commitment members have made to service and to empower members to create and fulfill their own visions of a year of positive change for themselves and the community in which they serve. Red Cross Deployment: In late October, 13 Michigan's AmeriCorps members deployed to San Diego, California. Each of the AmeriCorps members made a three-week commitment to set up and work in the shelters for families that have lost their homes or are in danger of losing their homes to the wildfires that blazed through southern California. The members came from Grand Rapids, Kalamazoo, Lansing, and Muskegon , and are part of the AmeriCorps Together We Prepare program, which is administered by the American Red Cross of Greater Grand Rapids and has members serving throughout Michigan. Alum Chapter Development: The MCSC is committed to providing funding and support to establish at least five AmeriCorps Alums chapters throughout the state by the end of 2008 . Chapters are being developed or expanded in Detroit, Grand Rapids , Muskegon , Marquette, and Lansing . To help spearhead this initiative, ten strong AmeriCorps alumni leaders joined the Michigan AmeriCorps Alums Leadership Team, which is lead by the MCSC. The first meeting took place on October 12th and the team established goals and an annual event calendar. The MCSC will continue to do outreach to current members and alums. The Michigan's AmeriCorps members and NCCC members from Michigan received a letter about the AmeriCorps Alums website, which asked them to reg ister and become active Alums . Currently nearly 500 Michigan alums are registered on the website . The MCSC will work with the CNCS-Michigan office to do additional outreach to VISTA alums and current VISTA Site Supervisors. �MI C HIGAN MICHIGAN'S AMERICORPS MEMBER CELEBRATION NOVEMBER 13, 2007 COMMUNITY SERVICE 9:00A.M.- 4:30P.M.

David will then give a keynote speech at the Michigan Rehabilitation Conference in Grand Rapids and participate in a town hall meeting with national service programs. The ArneriCorps Member Celebration will take place on November 13th in conjunction with the MCSC Board Meeting. Executive Directors of the programs that host the ArneriCorps programs will have lunch with the Commissioners. The Russ Mawby Signature Service Project will take place on June 11-12, 2008 in Benton Harbor. Ms. Michael also explained that Commissioners received a copy of a draft op-ed piece about the Time Magazine article on national service and urged them to submit them to their local newspapers. Ms. Michael will be meeting with each of the Commissioners prior to the next MCSC board meeting to hear what ideas Commissioners have and the direction they would like to see the Commission go. A. Staff Reorganization - Ms. Michael reviewed the new MCSC staff organization chart and gave background on the new DHS Director, Ismael Ahmed. She explained that due to cuts in the Learn and Serve funding, the MCSC could no longer fund two Learn and Serve Program officers. With the departure of Mark Mullaney, Jeanine Yard was able to transfer to the AmeriCorps program officer position. B. Mentor Michigan Ms. Michael and Amber Reiss gave Chairman Mulhern special recognition for his role in supporting Mentor Michigan including donating stipends that he receives from speaking engagements and spearheading the Mackinac Bridge Run/Swim that raised over $55,000. 1. W.K. Kellogg Funding I Male Recruitment Update- One of Mentor Michigan's key initiatives is recruiting more male mentors. The MCSC has received a grant from the W.K. Kellogg Foundation for $360,000 over the course of two years. That funding along with funding received from John Hancock will help kick off the Men in Mentoring Pilot. The first phase is to work with six pilot sites around the state and to grant out money to these sites to implement different strategies for recruiting male mentors. There are four mentoring programs and two mentoring collaboratives from around the state that will be part of the pilot. Over the course of the next two years these sites will recruit 2,000 new male mentors. Pace and Partners will be working with these sites to help promote the initiative. 2. Mentor Michigan VISTAs - Amber Reiss gave an update on the Mentor Michigan VISTA program. Mentor Michigan is beginning the 41h year of the Mentoring ArneriCorps*VISTA program, has been awarded 15 3 �members, and will kick off the first group of 10 members who will begin their service on October 15. Two members will be housed at the MCSC to work on special initiatives. Katie Clark will work on partnerships and outreach with mentoring collaboratives. Joan Johnson will focus on special initiatives with a focus on youth aging out of foster care, children of incarcerated parents, baby boomers, and men in mentoring. The other members will be serving across the state working on these same initiatives. 3. Mentoring Conference- The conference will take place on October 24 1h in Lansing. Chairman Mulhern will lead a workshop and David Eisner, CEO of the Corporation for National and Community Service, will be a keynote speaker. After Mr. Eisner's keynote speech, he will participate in a round table discussion with Commissioners. MCSC staff will prepare talking points for the Commissioners. We should recognize what David has accomplished and be clear on his priorities. Due to MCSC cuts in competitive funding, the MCSC should feature a program that did not get funded competitively but is now funded through formula funding. Mr. Eisner will also be participating in a national service town hall meeting. Amber Reiss thanked Commissioner Sowmick for the tribe's sponsorship of the conference. Chairman Mulhern commented that the key message at the 2006 Mentoring Conference was on recruiting male mentors. Mentor Michigan, along with Commissioners, have done a lot of work this year to address that issue. He thanked Commissioner Kwak for her help in securing the W.K. Kellogg grant. C. AmeriCorps Celebration - The AmeriCorps Member Celebration will take place on November 13. The MCSC board meeting will also take place on the same date. Commissioners will have lunch with the executive directors of the organizations that host AmeriCorps programs during this meeting. D. Learn and Serve Update- Ms. Michael explained that the Learn and Serve Challenge took place September 17-23 and was very successful. Angelia Salas secured a Governor's proclamation and Board of Education resolution in support of service-learning. This helps to emphasize the impact and importance of service-learning. Learn and Serve grantees will meet on October 24-25 and will combine with AmeriCorps program directors for the town hall meeting with David Eisner. The Institute on Service-Learning and Civic Engagement will take place on February 7-8, 2008. Ms. Michael announced at the Annual Urban Service-Learning Institute that the MCSC will grant $40,000 to Detroit school applicants for planning and implementing service-learning in Detroit Public Schools. E. Advocacy I National Service Update 1. National Service Reauthorization and Funding - Ms. Michael shared that Commissioners sent letters to Congressional members outlining support for reauthorization and federal funding. Ms. Michael visited several Congressional members' district offices in August to educate them on national service. Voices for National Service hosted a Hill Day in 4 �September. Because the MCSC and DHS have a no travel policy, Joe Dooley, from the Governor's Washington DC office, participated in several Hill visits along with Kyle Caldwell and other representatives of Michigan's national service programs. Kyle Caldwell shared additional comments on the Hill Day visits and shared that Michigan was very well represented. He also gave an update on FYOS-09 appropriations. Learn and Serve funding is at a critical point. If it is cut $1 more, the money will not go out on a competitive basis because it will be too small and will be distributed on a formula basis. It is critical that Learn and Serve funding be restored to previous levels to avoid this. He gave an update on reauthorization (the GIVE Act). It calls for an increase in AmeriCorps members to 100,000, it decreases the red tape on programs, and it removes some of the federal match requirements. It also allows members to earn an aggregate of2 fulltime education awards, it authorizes a Summer of Service program for middle and high school students, it reduces the age eligibility for Senior Corps, and it increases the education award for the first time. Voices for National Service (the broad coalition representing all sorts of national service programs) has three issues with the bill as introduced and if they are not addressed, Voices will not support the bill. First, AmeriCorps funding allocation should be changed. There should be funding for states to allocate on a formula basis and the rest should be competitive. Second, the community-based funding for Learn and Serve should be restored. The bill calls for elimination of Learn and Serve funding to local nonprofit organizations. Third, the competitive programs within Senior Corps should be asked to compete for funds. ServeMichigan will inform Commissioners through their listserv when there is any movement on the budget or reauthorization. Commissioners received a copy ofMCSC Fast Facts to share with others when they are out in their communities. Because of the information shared by Kyle Caldwell on national service funding, it is very important that Michigan's voice be heard. Commissioners were asked to share the information from their Fast Facts whenever they are out in their communities or speaking with legislators. 2. Time Magazine Article - Commissioners received a copy of a draft op-ed to send in to their local newspapers that is a follow-up to the Time Magazine piece on national service. F. State Budget Update- Garry Gross stated that the MCSC is waiting on budget information. He also shared that Doug Godesky from CNCS came to the MCSC office for a grant site visit/audit the beginning of September. Doug went through the policies and procedures for the MCSC and also went on an AmeriCorps program site visit. He went over the time and attendance, contracts, draw downs, and the grant process and was very pleased. The grant systems that the MCSC has in place are very strong. 5 �G. Governor's Service Awards- Mary Grill gave an overview of the GSA proceeds. Commissioners received a 2007 Financial Summary from the GSA. The GSA netted over $101,000, which is the highest ever netted for GSA. Expenses were decreased between $30,000 - $40,000 from 2006 to 2007. MCSC staff created a wish list for spending around the Blueprint for Action. It is broken down into five areas: Mentor Michigan ($40,000), Baby Boomers Initiative ($1 0,000), Professional Development($! 0,000), Service-Learning ($30,000) and AmeriCorps ($10,000). Staff is recommending the largest amount for Mentor Michigan with the majority of those funds paying for the Census. Service-Learning is receiving the second largest amount of money which is to utilize an outside research company to document the work of the MCSC. Commissioner Kwak commented that these items look like areas that could be funded by grant money and wondered how much grant writing the Commission is doing. There is momentum around the male mentor recruitment and could be a very fundable type of program. Mary Grill answered that fund development has been added to the Blueprint for Action. The MCSC would like to have a larger fund development plan so that we don' t use GSA as our only major way of raising funds for other things we want to do at the Commission. Commissioner K wak offered her assistance if the MCSC wants to have a conversation around grant writing. It might be worth taking a look at getting some of these more programmatic areas funded externally and using the GSA proceeds to fund the hard things that no one from the outside would want to fund . It was suggested that the MCSC could possibly get an intern to help with grant writing. Commissioner Collier stated that funders sometimes look for there to be a leverage amount before considering funding a program. It was suggested that some of the GSA proceeds could be used to leverage other funding. Commissioner Collier suggested endorsing the projects on the list with the understanding that we would look at the opportunity to leverage these dollars. Commissioner Parker asked whether there has been any communication strategy around promoting volunteerism. The GSA sponsors could be told that their funding has generated XX amount of increased volunteers. The internet is a great tool to use to promote volunteerism. Commissioner Lawson stated that she feels that there is a difference between a fund development committee and a committee that will creatively talk about what kind of grants we want to go after, our strategy, how can we connect one organization to another, and how we can stop going out and looking for money as opposed to selling our ideas. It would be a subcommittee within the Fund Development Committee to discuss strategy for receiving more funding. Commissioners Lawson, Kwak, Collier and Parker agreed to serve on this committee. 6 �Commissioner Collier stated that it is easier when fund raising for GSA to identify the programming (Mentor Michigan, Service Learning, etc) that the proceeds will be used for. Chairman Mulhern said that the Kellogg grant for Men in Mentoring came about because of the GSA proceeds that were spent on the Mentor Michigan census. Those funds have then generated the additional funding through the Kellogg grant which will recruit an additional 2000 mentors. Commissioner Collier asked to keep at least two ofthe initiatives on the list from a marketing standpoint and look for leverage opportunities with the additional funds. It is important that money raised from GSA is supporting programming (Mentor Michigan). Mary Grill said that sponsors frequently ask that proceeds be spent on specific programming areas (State Farm- Service Learning, Pistons - mentoring). Chairman Mulhern asked for a motion to support the staff recommendations and to use these programming dollars to leverage additional funding. Commissioner Collier made a motion to support the staff recommendations and Commissioner Williamson second the motion. The motion passed unanimously. Mary Grill will communicate with Commissioners via email around the details for the 2008 Governor's Service Awards (venue, format, etc.). H. MNA Update- Kyle Caldwell shared that the merger was completed on July 1 and is going well. Musette Michael will represent MCSC on the board. The Endowment Advisory Committee will be convening soon and Commissioners Lawson and Collier serve on that committee. The Nonprofit Superconference will take place on May 13-14,2008 in Lansing. Commissioner Pardoe gave a quick update on The LEAGUE which supports volunteerism and servicelearning. This program provides lesson plans that meet the benchmarks and standards that teachers have to meet. It engages students in service-learning around certain events and then captures that by assigning points to it. This allows them to give a dollar value of how much each student, classroom and school is giving back to their community. They will be kicking off a national launch in November and then statewide launches will follow. Ms. Pardoe hopes to continue to work with the MCSC Learn and Serve team to make a big impact in service-learning. V. Blueprint for Action- Ms. Michael explained that the Blueprint for Action is the strategic plan for the MCSC. The info~ation comes from the Commissioner Retreat in February and also from the CNCS Strategic Plan. We took our goals from the MCSC mission statement: provide vision, provide resources, and strengthen communities. The goals each have strategies within them and MCSC staffhave identified activities and implementation factors around each strategy. A Communications calendar was distributed to Commissioners outlining MCSC activities for the next year that are part of the communications plan. It is a "work in process" and will be developed further throughout the year. VI.

Chairman Mulhern welcomed new Comm issioners Alexander, Jackson and Jewell and announced that Commissioner Niester has agreed to serve on the Executive Committee (rep lacing Kari Pardoe). �II. Review and Approval of September 28, 2007 Minutes - Chairman Dan Mulhern Chairman Mulhern asked for a motion to approve the minutes from the September 28, 2007 board meeting. Commissioner Williamson moved to approve the minutes, Commissioner Colaianne seconded the motion. The motion passed unanimously. III. Standing Committee Reports - Chairman Dan Mulhem The Commissioners reviewed Executive Committee meeting minutes from October 19, 2007. Discussion focused on the round table with David Eisner, replacement for Kari Pardoe on the Executive Committee, and finalizing the November 13 Board Meeting agenda. IV . 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.

Kellogg Foundation Background On September 14th, the MCSC issued a call for proposals to targeted schools in Detroit. Schools could apply for up to $10,000 to pilot service-learning projects during the remainder of the 2007-08 school year and to develop leadership for full implementation for the 2008-09 year. With the assistance of partners working in Detroit schools, we targeted four schools. The schools were selected either because they had been designated as a Skillman Foundation "Good School", they were members of The League and/or had previous ly applied for Learn and Serve - Michigan funds. Renaissance High School and the YMCA Service-Learning Academy applied by the October 31 dead line. Susan Meston Muskegon Area Intermediate School District Donna Niester James C. Acheson Foundation Acheson Ventures Bernard Parker Wayne County Commissioner Jerry Seese Renaissance High School requested $10,000 to estab lish an ongoing service-learning program to assist students in acquiring academic skills, a commitment to community engagement and leadership skills.

K. Kellogg Foundation Lloyd Jackson Proposal to fund Goal3 of the Blueprint for Action: "Focus on the critical community needs identified at the local, state, and national levels." WJRRadio Lori Jewell State Farm Insurance Janet Lawson For FY 2008, the Michigan legislature appropriated $250,000 for funding Michigan's Volunteer Investment Grants (Michigan's VIG). Ford Motor Company Joseph Lubig Northern Michigan Universfly Russell Mawby Chair Emerflus W. K. Kellogg Foundation Susan Meston Muskegon Area Intermediate School District Donna Niester James C. Acheson Foundation Acheson Ventures Bernard Parker Wayne County Commissioner Jerry Seese Saginaw Township Communfly Schools Marsha Smith Rotary Charities of Traverse City Joseph Sowmick Saginaw Chippewa Indian Tribe of Michigan Alphonso Swain Background The Michigan's VIG was created in 1997 to strengthen the volunteer infrastructure in Michigan. While studies show that the vast majority of Michigan's nonprofit agencies depend on volunteers to provide services, many communities struggle to sustain the essential infrastructure necessary to support volunteerism. Using an endowment-building challenge, Michigan's VIG was originally designed to: create an ongoing source of funds for the participating volunteer resource centers; build a center's organizational capacity; and increase the number of citizen volunteers involved in community problem-solving. Each of the 35 agencies selected for funding between 1998 and 2004 leveraged local funds that were invested in local Community Foundation endowments. Between 1998- 2004, more than $5.8 million dollars was endowed to support the local volunteer centers in perpetuity. The endowments ranged between $12,000 and $667,000 and agencies were paid a percentage of those funds based on annual eammgs. Capflol Area Center for Independent Living Michael Thomas Saginaw County Prosecuting Attorney Larry Williamson Comcast Cable Eileen Wilson-Oyelaran Kalamazoo College State funding for the Michigan's VIG was $1 million dollars annually from 19982000. Beginning in 2001 the budget took incremental cuts leaving it at $250,000 for FY06. When the funds were cut to $250,000, it was no longer feasible to offer the endowment building challenge. In FY 2006, $200,000 of these funds were used on statewide efforts rather than through the smaller grants offered �previously. $50,000 was retained to support Mentor Michigan. For FY 2007 a moratorium on grantmaking prevent MCSC from issuing these funds. Staff Recommendation: 1. $200,000 of the Michigan's VIG be used to support sub-granting to local communities. The sub-grants will be awarded on a competitive basis to eligible 501c3 agencies, schools, or local government agencies to mobilize additional volunteers and to increase the organizational capacity to support additional volunteers. A Request for Proposals (RFP) will be issued in November. Applications will be due in January and grants will begin in March. Funding priority will be given to organizations addressing: a. Mentoring b. Mobilizing baby boomers c. Servicing disadvantaged youth including engaging them in service 2. $50,000 of the Michigan's VIG be retained to support Mentor Michigan. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

One member served statewide-he was based at the MSU Extension office in East Lansing. Key Program Accomplishments: • 259 new community partnerships were developed A great story: In Pontiac, Christopher Sharon partnered with Lunghammer Chevrolet and AXA Advisors to recruit employees as mentors. Christopher helped organize an appreciation luncheon for all partners to promote mentoring and the need for mentors. Over 130 people attended this event. • 142 media coverage of events and activities A great story: In Wexford and Missaukee Counties, AmeriCorps*VISTA member Deb Durden was a guest on WATT radio's January series on mentoring. Durden was also a guest on CCTV's program "The Source" on January 8 and January 15. • 1,012 potential new mentors were referred to mentoring organizations What is a potential new mentor? It is a volunteer who is interested in being a mentor whose information has been given to a mentoring organization. This could include a formal application or someone who expressed interest at a volunteer fair. • 189 presentations and promotions were conducted to recruit mentors A great story: In Muskegon County, AmeriCorps*VISTA member Ray Van De Veer delivered a 20-minute presentation, followed by Q&A, at the Muskegon Kiwanis, Muskegon Ambucs, and Muskegon Rotary Club. • $48,320 in grants were received as a result of Mentor Michigan AmeriCorps*VISTA members' proposals A great story: AmeriCorps*VISTA member Jennifer Baier wrote and received a grant from the Target Foundation. As a result, the Ottawa County Mentoring Collaborative will have opportunities to provide mentor-mentee matches with cultural enrichment activities. • $29,481 in cash contributions leveraged A great story: AmeriCorps*VISTA member Laura Schleede approached local businesses to sponsor the Magic of Mentoring Celebration during Michigan Mentoring Month. Macatawa Bank provided a $500 sponsorship. • $35,740 of in-kind donations were leveraged from local communities A great story: The Cadillac Area Public Schools provided the use of facilities at reduced fees for mentoring events and professionals in the Cadillac area donated their time and expertise to provide mentoring activities to children living in the community. �Another Great Story: AmeriCorps*VISTA member, Susan Fenton, had the opportunity to partner with State Senator Wayne Kuipers (R30th District) to recognize male mentors. In cooperation with the Senator's office, Fenton created the "Senator's Award for Men in Mentoring" which is awarded each month to a different male mentor with one of the 14 mentoring programs in the Ottawa County Mentoring Collaborative. In March 2007, mentor Blaine Sessions, a Kids Hope USA mentor from Allendale, received the first Senator's Award. A local business, the Kuiper-Gieason Group at R.W. Baird, has donated $50 gift certificates to each of this year's winners.

Currently, only about 35,000 children are being formally mentored. • Still, Mentor Michigan's latest Census reports the highest number of children with mentors in Mentor Michigan's history, as well as a record number of mentors in the state. Mentoring organizations are serving 11,819 more children today than in September 2004 (Census 1). There are 20,603 mentors active in Michigan-11 ,500 more than in September 2004. • Ninety-six percent of the people who mentor with formal mentoring programs would recommend it to others. • Mentoring changes lives two at a time. Both the mentee and the mentor benefit from the relationship. • Local mentoring organizations have a great need for male mentors, particularly men of color. • o A recent study released by Kahle Research Solutions Inc. showed that only 39 percent of mentors in Michigan are men. The study also showed that while 54 percent of the mentees are children of color, only 35 percent of the mentors are people of color, a disparity that creates a dilemma for mentoring programs trying to match children with mentors from the same ethnic and gender backgrounds. o Women mentors outnumber male mentors- currently 61 percent of mentors are female, while 39 percent are male. Become a mentor and make a serious commitment! A successful mentoring relationship lasts for at least one year and meets for at least one hour per week.

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 increases 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 20,603 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 3,91 0 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 1500 1000 •Inquiries D Applications 500 0 1/1/04-8/31/04 1/1/04-12/31/04 1/1/05-8/31/05 9/1/05-8/31/06 Wave I Wave II Wave Ill 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 �QUALITY PROGRAM STANDARDS FOR YOUTH MENTORING (c MICHIGAN COMMUNITY SERVICE COMMISSION Mentor Michigan and its Providers Council believe it is vital for Michigan's mentoring programs to operate with the highest possible quality, so the Mentor Michigan Quality Program Standards for Youth were developed. The Standards are in place in order for youth to receive the most beneficial and productive results from a mentoring relationship. The Standards are not meant to certify or accredit mentoring programs. They provide a planning and assessment framework that raises the bar for mentoring programs. The Standards provide a basis for each program (board, staff, and other constituents) to make a conscious comparison and determination of how the Standards will best meet the needs of youth and families in their service area. The Mentor Michigan Providers Council, a body of 20 mentoring experts from across the state, drafted the Standards from best practices developed by national, state, and local organizations. First Gentleman Daniel G. Mulhern presented the Standards and gathered feedback from mentoring professionals throughout the state at four Regional Trainings in the summer of 2005. Feedback also was gathered from mentoring programs that were unable to have representatives attend a Regional Training. The feedback was incorporated and the Standards finalized by the Mentor Michigan Providers Council in October 2005. B. School-based mentoring programs that provide for weekly contact between mentors and mentees that lasts for a minimum of one academic year. C.

AmeriCorps is similar to a domestic Peace Corps. Individuals, called members, are housed within nonprofit organizations, schools, and other agencies throughout our state. Each program sets its own goals to help meet local needs. • The AmeriCorps members are building houses, mentoring children, teaching conflict resolution, recruiting volunteers, implementing homeland security activities, and more. • During the 2007-08 program year, the 19 programs are engaging 971 members in a variety of activities focusing on the environment, education, public safety, and human needs. • On average, each Michigan's AmeriCorps member recruits 23 volunteers to help strengthen his or her community-in 2006-07 that was more than 23,000 volunteers. Each volunteer contributed more than six hours of service. AmeriCorps funding may be available for organizations in your community. Funding is usually granted in three-year cycles with renewal funding based upon successful completion of annual goals. Michigan's AmeriCorps grants traditionally average $250,000 each and require match funds. Do you know a potential AmeriCorps member? AmeriCorps members are dedicated individuals at least 17 years of age who want to make a difference in their community. Potential members can find out more about AmeriCorps by calling (800) 942-2677 or visiting www.americorps.org. They can find the Michigan programs by clicking on "AmeriCorps in Your State" and selecting Michigan. �'/, H 0 A tl COMMUNITY SERVICE 2007-08 Michigan's AmeriCorps • Michigan's AmeriCorps member(s) serve this county • Michigan's AmeriCorps program office(s) are located in this county Updated: November 9, 2007 �• 21 Michigan's AmeriCorps programs served throughout Michigan meeting critical community needs such as promoting literacy, mentoring and tutoring children, advancing disaster preparedness, protecting the environment, and providing affordable housing. • 1,009 members were enrolled in the 21 programs: o 393 full-time members o 61 half-time and 10 reduced half-time o 62 quarter-time o 483 minimum-time • 702,938 hours spent by members in service and training. • $1.55 million in education awards was earned by 559 members who successfully completed their term of service. 291 members are still engaged in active service. • 2,592 students were involved in service-learning activities. • 1,681 children were involved in ongoing mentoring relationships. • 5,360 students received tutoring or homework help. • 2,249 students received guidance relating to school success/achievement. • 16,557 students received in-class or out-of-class enrichment services. • 20,692 individuals were educated about groundwater risk assessments at 1,042 sessions. • 27,342 students were educated in environmental issues at 1, 707 sessions. • 23,827 volunteers were recruited, placed, and/or supported by AmeriCorps members.

Kevin was hospitalized with a serious infection that culminated in the amputation of his leg. Thus began a nightmare of skyrocketing hospitalization costs, as the hospital would not allow Kevin to come home until an access ramp was installed. A ramp, which costs $5,000- $7,000 when built by a private contractor, was out of reach for the Mullins. Kevin began preparation to move to a nursing home. Kevin's wife, Colleen, contacted more than 50 agencies looking for help. Finally, she connected with the Community Builders Corps, an AmeriCorps program that builds ramps for individuals for the cost of materials-approximately $1,500. As the Mullins were already financially strapped, even this amount was too much. Kevin Mullins arrives home, thanks to the Community Builders Corps. The AmeriCorps members would not give up on Kevin. They asked local lumberyards for help. Brooks Lumber in Detroit offered the materials at their cost ($1 ,200), but the Mullins still could not pay that amount. They were discussing the situation in Kevin's hospital room one night when the patient in the next bed overheard their conversation. The patient called his son. The next day the son came to visit Kevin and offered to pay for the materials to build the ramp. Four days later, the ramp was completed and Kevin Mullins went home. Young Detroit Builders recently received a $176,419 grant from the Michigan Community Service Commission to continue the Community Builders Corps program in 2002-2003. This program enrolls 14 full-time AmeriCorps members to: • • • • Build at least 30 wheelchair ramps for disabled individuals Make adaptation improvements to the home of 40 low-income seniors or disabled persons Provide outdoor services (clean windows and gutters, rake leaves, pick up trash, etc.) for approximately 50 low-income, disabled individuals Respond to at least 30 requests from the Community Policing Office (see below) Community Builders Corps' newest partner is the Detroit's 41h Precinct Community Policing Office. This project helps people whose homes have been burglarized. Break-ins often result in a broken doorjamb or shattered windows, leaving the victims feeling vulnerable to another attack. AmeriCorps members are now on call to make repairs so families can remain in their homes with an increased sense of security. �MICHIGAN COMMUNITY SERVICE AMERICORPS MEMBERS BUILD HOPE By Joshua Brugger COMMISSION As an AmeriCorps member, I learned valuable lessons about the importance of hope. I came to believe that every day it was my job to help people find hope-to coax it, to prod it, to bring it out of its hiding place and into the light. This past year, I was an AmeriCorps member with Lakeshore Habitat for Humanity in Holland. Working alongside many volunteers, I helped build a dozen simple and decent homes. These new homes brought hope to families. Sometimes the days were long and difficult. I spent days of 11, 12, and 13 hours painting and roofing in the hot summer sun. I also dug water line trenches through frozen earth in December to meet a New Year's Day deadline. One of my favorite memories of my AmeriCorps year was a project I did with the Boys and Girls Club of Greater Holland. I taught a woodworking class to teenagers. Classes included lessons in safety, learning about tools and materials, and the opportunity to build something. Something like a toolbox, birdhouse, or bug habitat. Now on one particular day, I thought that I'd really wow the kids. So, what did I do? I brought power tools with me! After receiving permission from the Boys and Girls Club, I came to class ready with a drill, a circular saw, and a 2xl0 board that was 6 feet long. This was going to be a great class! A teen builds her own birdhouse as part of the BGCH!Habitat project. I had several students help me carry in all of the equipment. As they did, they paraded the power tools in front of their friends--eager to show that they were special because they got to carry the drill or the saw. Class began. Kids were lined up outside the door, peering through the windows, climbing over each other so they could see. Every seat was filled. Excitement was in the air. It was like being on the set of Tool Time. I laid that 2xl0 out on the table. Donned my safety glasses. Measured and strategically marked off the spot I would cut. As a trained member of Habitat for Humanity, I do know that a 7 %"titanium tipped plywood blade is terrific for cutting plywood or siding. But I don't know why I didn't remember that it doesn't work so well when cutting through a piece of#2 pine. After the smoke cleared, the kids and I all had a great laugh! I'll never forget that day. And I'll never forget the day four months later, when those same kids built a ramp for a 7-year-old boy with spina bifida. They learned a lesson about hope that day because they gave hope and happiness to that young boy and his family. So now I encourage everyone to plant hope. Hope makes change happen. It may not happen overnight. It may take years to grow. I believe the hope I planted during my year as an AmeriCorps member is still making a difference in the lives of the people in Holland today. �MICHIGAN COMMUNITY SERVICE MICHIGAN'S AMERICORPS MEMBERS CHANGE LIVES COMMISSION What I Have Learned Through AmeriCorps by Robyn E. Hall, AmeriCorps Oakland AmeriCorps is amazing and an experience that everyone should have. The impact that it has on children is incredible. While they may not always remember my name, they know that I am there to help. The trust and confidence they have in me is overwhelming. They believe in me, and as a result, I have learned to believe in me, as well. I have learned that all things are possible, and that I can accomplish whatever I set out to achieve. Children seem to have a way about them that can brighten my day and remind me that one bad day isn't the end of the world. Through AmeriCorps, I have grown as a person. I have learned to become more independent and self-motivated. I have learned to find work to do, rather than wait around doing nothing. I have become more assertive and have learned to be a leader. I have learned to rise up to meet the challenges that present themselves. AmeriCorps has been a wonderful experience, and I can't wait to see what lay ahead for me. This poem that I wrote really sums it up: I have learned to give, and to smile, To believe in others, as well as myself. I have learned to be patient and listen, To care, to love and to laugh. I have learned that I can make a difference, One child at a time, I can change their world. And they can change mine. I have learned that not every day will go perfectly, And sometimes I will get stressed and frustrated. But I have learned that laughter can go a long way. I have learned more than I could ever explain, Except to say, I have learned to truly live. Robyn Hall is an Oakland University freshman and first year member with AmeriCorps Oakland.

This family received home visiting parent education from AmeriCorps members. Dear Ms. Fairchild: Our son, Jakob, is almost three years old and has a 50% speech and language delay compounded with sensory problems. Like so many other parents, we were unable to take our son into the classroom because of our work schedules. Your program was the only way we could get our son the help he needed. You were able to meet with us at any time, day, or place. We have been working with two of the nicest women and they have played a big part in all of our son's milestones. He now has a much longer attention span and is more willing to cooperate and learn. He follows directions much better and is now able to complete many different learning activities. Not only have they helped our son learn how to communicate, they've helped us learn how to teach him. They offer help, advice, and support to families who have no idea what resources are available to them. We have received parenting skills training and attended workshops to learn a wide variety of activities that both stimulate and broaden children's learning ability. It was easy for us to attend the workshops because food and daycare is provided. I hope our son gets well enough not to need their services for much longer, but I'm comforted by the fact that they will still be here if he needs them. I just hope this program will be available for other parents and children who need the help, too. Thank you!

Through service-learning, young people take what they learn and put it into action in the community. Service-learning is a way of teaching and learning that connects meaningful service to the community with classroom instruction. A 2005 study of Michigan schools shows: • • • More teachers and students (compared to the same study in 2002) are engaging in service-learning Twenty-eight percent of teachers integrate service-learning into their instruction and 29 percent of students are engaged. Four percent of the schools surveyed have a service-learning requirement while ten percent have a community service requirement for graduation. Learn and Serve- Michigan is a competitive grant program that supports service-learning opportunities in schools and community organizations. For the 2007-08 program year, the MCSC manages: • • 22 School-Based programs where K-12 teachers tie service-learning projects to the regular curriculum. Current funding is $420,252 One Community-Based program grant is given to Michigan State University 4-H Extension in the amount of $315,146 Service-learning has been shown to: • • • Increase motivation to learn, Lower drop out rates, and Build critical thinking and problem solving skills. �MICHIGAN COMMUNITY SERVICE COMMISSION 2007-08 Learn and Serve Michigan KALKASKA CRAWFORD WEXFORD •• OSCEOLA CLARE NEWAYGO MECOSTA ISABELLA leam and Serve- Michigan Community-Based programs serve these counties OGEMAW • MIDLAND GRATIOT MONTCALM • • • • • • KENT these counties • OSCODA • • MISSAUKEE FOSCOI1oMJN LAKE leam and Serve- Michigan • School-Based programs serve - CLINTON IONIA ALLEGAN • CASS BARRY EATON • LIVINGSTON INGHAM •• KALAMAZOO CALHOUN ST JOSEPH BRANCH • OAKLAND •• JACKSON HILLSDALE LENAWEE Updated: October 17, 2007 �School-based Numbers: 52, 641 students participated in Learn and Serve - Michigan programs. Students provided 454,557 hours of service to their communities. 1753 teachers participated in Learn and Serve programs this year. 4465 volunteers gave their time to Learn and Serve programs. 15,991 disadvantaged youth were engaged as service-learners. 12,217 disadvantaged youth were served this year. 96 Community revitalization projects were completed this year. Our programs exceed the median national totals for all categories including: number of participants, number of teachers, hours of service, numbers of volunteers, and number of partners. Community-based Numbers: 209 students were engaged in the inaugural year of the Peer Mentoring program managed by Michigan State University Extension 4H. 3,480 hours of service were given by participants to mentees. 50 partner agencies were engaged in the program. Great Stories: English and English as a Second Language middle school teachers, Sue Linder and Jen Ostheimer, teamed their classes to accomplish a literacy project that provided bi-lingual books for Spanish speaking children and comprehension pamphlets for their parents. Books and pamphlets for parents were also taken to six other elementary media centers in the district for student use. The Mackinac County Better Understanding with Students (BUS) mentoring program paired high school students with elementary school students in one-on-one mentoring relationships that take place several days a week on the school bus. Students in the Engadine School District often have bus rides of an hour or more, and high school and elementary students ride the same bus. Before this program, students had little to occupy themselves during the ride, which often resulted in poor behavior and animosity between the older and younger students. After the program was implemented, the bus driver reported fewer behavioral incidents and a more positive atmosphere on the bus. Several neighboring school districts have requested information on replicating this program in their schools. Wayne Westland Community Schools implemented a comprehensive freshman transition program that has upper classmen mentoring incoming freshmen. The program is aligned with the High School Content Expectations for English Language Arts and follows the Michigan Merit Curriculum of the Michigan Department of Education. Ionia Intermediate School District led the development of 'The �Box," an effective service-learning practices professional development program. The Box equips grantees to deliver research-based professional development to the educators. A national role out will begin at the National Service-Learning Conference in 2008. National Recognition: Kari Simon-Pieters of St. Johns received a Spirit of Service Award from CNCS for her outstanding Learn and Serve activities. Her "Chemistry in the Community'' class joined the Stoney Creek Watershed Project to test water quality, report data to Michigan State University and watershed landowners, and share project results. Deborah Wagner from the Ionia County Intermediate School District received the State Farm Service-Learning Practitioner Leadership Award. The award recognizes those who have equipped young people to lead and serve, through their direct work with youth and by nurturing other practitioners. Special Events: Service-Learning Youth Advisory Council trainings were held in Lansing and Marquette. The Institute on Service-Learning and Civic Engagement was held in partnership with Michigan Campus Compact at Schoolcraft College in Livonia and drew more than 350 educators and students from K-12 and higher education. Outstanding Service-Learning Awards were given to four outstanding awardees. The standing-room-only event recognized outstanding educators, projects, and administrators from across the state. The first-ever Sustainability Symposium was held, which included Learn and Serve and AmeriCorps grantees. Jim Toole, a national expert from the Compass Institute, facilitated the intensive work. Participants left with long-term strategies for sustaining their programs. 1 4 h Annual Urban Institute, in collaboration with the National Youth Leadership Council, was held at Wayne State University. The event drew more than 100 service-learning professionals from across the nation. In honor of the National Learn and Serve Challenge, a proclamation was received from Governor Granholm and a resolution was received from the State Board of Education honoring the efforts of Michigan students and teachers involved in service-learning. The Corporation for National and Community Service and the Service-Learning Partnership praised the MCSC for its work to raise service-learning awareness. �MICHIGAN LEARN AND SERVE -MICHIGAN COMMUNITY-BASED COMMUNITY ROSTER SERVICE 2007-2008 COMMISSION MICIDGAN STATE UNIVERSITY 4-H EXTENSION $315,146 Cyndi Mark, Ph.D. Program Leader 4-H Youth Development Children, Youth and Family Programs Michigan State University Extension 160 Agriculture Hall East Lansing, MI 48824-1039 Phone: (517)432-7602 Fax: ( 517) 355-67 48 Email: markc@anr.msu.edu The Michigan 4-H Peer Mentoring and Service Learning program is increasing the number of disadvantaged youth matched with peer mentors by recruiting more than 700 peer mentors that will serve at least 900 mentees.

COMMUNITY SERVICE COMMISSION INVES'r+IENT MICHIGAN'S VOLUNTEER INVESTMENT GRANTS GIMJVTS Since 1998, the Michigan's Volunteer Investment Grants (Michigan's VIG) have supported the volunteer infrastructure by increasing the capacity of organizations so that they are better equipped to mobilize volunteers. Volunteers are essential ingredients to the health and vitality of our communities and act as critical problem-solving resources to communities. According to the April2007 Volunteering in America report by the Corporation for National and Community Service, nearly one-third of volunteers who served in 2005 did not volunteer the following year. This represents an estimated annual loss to nonprofits of approximately $30 billion dollars worth of volunteer service. The Michigan's VIG is designed to stimulate innovative strategies that increase and sustain strong volunteer initiatives. In the 2008 program year, $250,000 of state funding is being granted to 14 volunteer organizations. There are three focus areas: • • • Goals • • • • Mentoring - ensure that all of our youth have ongoing relationships with stable, caring individuals. Boomers - capture the talents, skills, energy and experience of adult volunteers born between 1946 and 1964. Engaging All Youth in Service - increase volunteer and service-learning opportunities for youth in disadvantaged circumstances of the Michigan's VIG Increase the organization's ability to more effectively engage volunteers. Increase the number of volunteers and the number of services provided to those in need. Facilitate and enhance community partnerships that support volunteerism. Employ innovative methods to sustain the proposed volunteer activities. Match Requirements Michigan's VIG applicants must provide a $1-to $1 local match. The match funds may be cash or in-kind but may not include match from other MCSC funded initiatives or State of Michigan General Funds.

However, when these program pieces are connected and working synergistically, communities are strengthened and lives are transformed. Read on to learn more about the MCSC, a vital and unique organization that has been serving our State for the past 18 years. MCSC has a rich heritage of supporting volunteer efforts that generate reciprocity, trust, and empowerment in communities across our great State. And, each year we celebrate and recognize individuals and organizations that donate their time and talent to uplift their communities. Our work includes granting funds to provide individuals the opportunity to serve their communities, bringing visibility to the importance of mentoring, educating others about the benefits of volunteerism, and helping others take concrete action in communities to generate noticeable change. It also takes the support of our partners – individuals, foundations, businesses, and government organizations – that are committed to funding much needed service programs to regenerate communities. We greatly appreciate their dedication and investment. Although we have made significant strides in 2008; much more must be done to help preserve a bright future for our great State. We encourage you to read our stories and to join together with more than 73,000 Michigan citizens who, last year, believed in the spirit of volunteering and service to dramatically renew and strengthen their communities – one area at a time – for years to come.

The duties of the AmeriCorps members are based on the local needs of the community in which they serve. The mission of AmeriCorps is to get things done, strengthen communities, encourage responsibility, and expand opportunity. Community priorities help determine the service Michigan’s AmeriCorps members will provide in a specific area. In the past year, 1,060 members built housing, recruited volunteers, mentored children, educated individuals on health issues, addressed environmental issues, and much more. The Michigan Community Service Commission supports and provides funding for each program by distributing federal funds from the Corporation for National and Community Service. Michigan’s AmeriCorps members are between the ages of 17 and 72. Each member commits to completing a specified term of service, usually one year. They are provided with a modest living allowance and are placed at nonprofit organizations, Proof 9-2-09 schools, and other agencies. Full-time members are eligible for health benefits while serving. Additionally, some members receive assistance with childcare, which is incomebased. Once the member has successfully completed the year-long commitment, he or she will receive an education award that can be used to pay for future college tuition or for qualified student loans. Michigan’s AmeriCorps members earned $1.6 million in education awards in 2008. Michigan’s AmeriCorps programs also provide training and professional development to members.

On Tuesday, March 4, 2008, Certa received a call to bring four of his seniors to New Orleans, Louisiana, to assist the show in building a house and church previously destroyed by Hurricane Katrina. From Friday, March 6 through Saturday, March 14, CHS Construction Program and Learn & Serve students Corey Gotshall, Cliff Jones, Kyle Jones, and Nathan Tripplehorn assisted with framing, installing doors, sheeting, wrapping, and landscaping. “[Service-learning] stretches their boundaries outside of school walls and allows students to recognize the need for education and how useful it is in the real world. Focusing on the needs of others is an eye-opening experience for many young people and transforms them into more thoughtful and compassionate beings,” said Certa. “Volunteers were divided into skilled and unskilled groups. As these young men were in their fourth year of Charlevoix High School’s Construction Program, they were qualified to wear the ‘skilled’ badges that provided access to all project sites. Then it was just a matter of putting those skills to work – and they certainly did. Certa says by the end of the week the students were receiving offers of The Impact MCSC granted $726,062 in school-and communitybased service-learning grants. Additionally, grantees leveraged $775,589 in match funds within their local communities.

In fact, she has involved her students in science-based service-learning for many years. Joy’s students have supported water quality monitoring of the Saginaw Bay through the Global Rivers Environmental Education Network (GREEN). To demonstrate mastery of the content, students presented their water quality findings to community members at the annual River Congress. Joy also makes science relevant by engaging students in the research, development, and maintenance of local rain gardens. They planted nearly 3,000 native plants in the local rain gardens with the help of more than 500 students and community volunteers.

We want you on our team – join us today.” Lloyd Carr Former University of Michigan head football coach and Mentor Michigan recruitment spokesman Mentor Michigan Generating Brighter Futures Changing schools every year. Never really having a place to call home. Wondering if anyone cared about her. These are all phrases that describe the first 13 years of Jamie Whipple’s life. However her life changed dramatically in 2004, when she met an individual who would become the one constant in her life – her mentor, Michele – through the Ottawa County Journey 4-H Youth Mentoring Program. Their first meeting occurred at a local coffee shop in Grand Haven where they became acquainted and discovered 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 Michelle introduced Jamie to a new way of life. Undoubtedly, mentoring has made such a change in her life that she loves to share her uplifting experience with others. In February 2008, Jamie The Impact shared her personal story during a national webinar for mentoring program staff who work with at-risk youth. And, at the October 2008 Michigan Dropout Prevention Summit, Jamie explained the positive effect mentoring has had on her views about the importance of education. “When things were bad at home my grades would fall,” explained Jamie. “If I’m ever having a problem in English or History, sometimes Michele will come over, pick me up, and help me with my homework. She always helps me focus.” Jamie and Michele’s participation in the Ottawa County Journey Youth Mentoring Program will end in late 2009 once Jamie turns 18 – but that doesn’t mean they won’t continue their mentoring relationship in the future. “We’ve set a goal that we’ll continue to meet once a month for coffee after I turn 18,” said Jamie. A 2008 survey of 143 mentoring organizations in 47 Michigan counties concluded: 22,916 children were mentored in 2008. A number of these youth are disadvantaged, including 730 that live in foster homes; 607 who have been diagnosed with a cognitive disability; 168 have a physical disability; and 1,245 have an incarcerated parent. 227 Michigan mentoring organizations registered with Mentor Michigan. The state has 17,051 active mentors. Of those, 36 percent are male while 64 percent are female. 10 �“Every day I keep thinking about how grateful I am to have Michele in my life. She is the only stable, adult role-model in my life and, she gives me the strength to keep going forward,” said Jamie Following her high school graduation, Jamie hopes to attend Muskegon Community College to study Automotive Technology. Michele supports her and encourages her to reach that goal. One hour a week can make a big difference in a young person’s future. Mentor Michigan supports 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 and research. It fosters partnerships with businesses, faith-based and nonprofit organizations, schools, colleges and universities, and state and local government to Proof 9-2-09 support mentoring. Mentor Michigan also builds public awareness about the importance of and the need for mentors by urging caring adults to “pass it on,” because sharing a little of yourself with a young person can reward both of you with lifelong benefits. This year, Mentor Michigan also launched Mentor PRO, an online case management system that allows programs to manage their matches more efficiently. Eighteen mentoring programs are now using this system to track 719 matches. Additionally, Mentor Michigan aims to recruit 10,000 new mentors by 2010 through several campaigns: Men in Mentoring, Mobilizing Mentors: Hometown Heroes Mentoring Hometown Kids, The State Employee Recruitment campaign, and the Michigan Municipal League. Mentor Michigan helps provide financial support to mentoring organizations throughout the state. • 28 Michigan Mentoring Month mini grants valued at $19,000 were awarded to recruit and recognize mentors. • Over $90,000 was awarded in Volunteer Investment Grants to six mentoring organizations in the state. • $6,692 in Meijer mini grants were awarded to 15 mentoring organizations in the state. • The six Men in Mentoring pilot sites received $60,000 in funding to support their male mentor recruitment efforts. • The Michigan State University Extension: 4-H Mentor Michigan Initiative utilized $700,638 in federal funds and 55 Michigan’s AmeriCorps members to expand and strengthen mentoring programs in the state.

Mulhern First Gentleman �Proof 9-2-09 Michigan’s Volunteer Investment Grants Increasing Community Capacity through Volunteerism Communities across the state continue to struggle to identify lasting solutions to pressing issues affecting public health, economic vitality, clean and safe environments, and education. And, they continue to rely upon nonprofits to play a critical role in mitigating these issues with some measure of success. Developed in 1998, Michigan’s Volunteer Investment Grant (VIG) Program was founded on the premise that volunteers provide a vital-problem solving resource to communities. Michigan’s VIG is designed to build organizational capacity to increase the number of citizen volunteers involved in community problem-solving. Using service at multiple age levels as a strategy provides nonprofit organizations with additional human capital to help tackle their mounting challenges. The The goal of the VIG program is to increase and sustain the number of volunteers addressing one of three critical focus areas: mentoring children in need, mobilizing Baby Boomer volunteers, or engaging youth from disadvantaged backgrounds in service. The following are several examples of VIG grant monies at work: The United Way of Northwest Michigan (UW) leveraged a local partnership with Michigan State University to create an outreach campaign to attract young volunteers during 2008. Efforts included increased use of the Internet in UW’s outreach efforts including the development of a “young volunteers” blog. 13 Volunteer Investment Grantees supported 24 counties in Michigan. Impact MCSC provided $250,000 in state funds to grantees. And, grantees leveraged $200,000 in match funds within their local communities. 12 �The Human Development Commission established a complete directory of non-profit organizations in Sanilac and Huron counties. Once completed, the Commission surveyed each organization to determine its volunteer needs and helped each refine its volunteer recruitment strategy. Kalamazoo Communities In Schools produced 100 “Work-Life Balance How-To” kits to aid businesses in promoting a more family-friendly atmosphere for company employees. The Kits featured practical suggestions that benefited students and provided employees with opportunities to give back to the community. And, the Kits helped increase the number of volunteers in Kalamazoo schools as businesses begin to adopt work-life balance policies. Proof 9-2-09 The United Way Volunteer Center of Chippewa County launched an Everyone Can Serve project. The project trained 24 educators to incorporate service-learning opportunities within their schools. The educators initiated 14 projects, which engaged 881 Upper Peninsula students. Collectively, the students, teachers, and additional volunteers yielded 2,984 hours of service. 2008 Michigan’s Volunteer Investment Grant Recipients Ann Arbor Center for Independent Living (Washtenaw County) Big Brothers Big Sisters of Greater Flint (Genesee County) Camp Fire USA West Michigan Council (Kent County) Catholic Services of Macomb (Macomb County) Communities In Schools of Detroit, Inc.

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.
