The rollout of this initiative began in January and continued at the commanding officers conference on March 16 in Kalamazoo. At this conference, Mentor Michigan provided the officers with recruitment toolkits that included a brochure and DVD on the Mobilizing Mentors initiative. Mentor Michigan also presented at the National Guard State Family Conference on April 19 and wi ll be presenting at the National Guard Diversity Conference on April 29. Big Brother Sg t Jerred Johnson and Little Brother Tony Members of the National Guard are answering the call. See the attached article about Master Sergeant Ben Noble who recently signed up with VIP Mentoring. State of the State Goal In Governor Granholm ' s 2008 State of the State Address, she committed to recruit 10,000 more mentors. Mentor Michigan is providing bi-weekly updates for the Governor's Cabinet meetings to report on the progress toward meeting this goal. These updates include the efforts of Mentor Michigan to enhance the quality of mentoring and increase the quantity of mentors in the state. State Employees Mentor Michigan is working with the state departments to develop relationships to recruit more state employees to mentor. The state departments are identifying liaisons to work with Mentor Michigan and the employees within their departments. So far, ten departments have identified liaisons and are ready to start recruiting. Father's Day Promotion In 2007, Meijer donated $2.00 from every $25 gift card sold during Father's Day weekend to Mentor Michigan (over $14,000 was raised) . Meijer has expressed interest to participate again this year. We will be discussing the promotion with the Mentor Michigan Provider Council during their quarterly meeting on Tuesday and will share their feedback on a conference call with the MCSC board committee scheduled for the week of May 51h. Mentor PRO MentorPRO is in full swing in Michigan with eight organizations currently using MentorPRO and seven more in the process of gaining access. Included in the group of eight organizations using MentorPRO are Eaton and Ottawa County 4-H Offices, Big Brothers Big Sisters of Monroe County, and Michigan Youth Opportunities Initiative in Midland and Isabella Counties . Each week, more programs express an interest in this tool. We are very excited to have such a huge response to this program that has amazing potential to assist both the mentoring programs and their participants . Mentor Michigan Census Wave V Recently one of the state's larger mentoring organization discovered an error in the data they reported in the Mentor Michigan Census Wave V. Mentor Michigan has revised the reports to ensure more accurate reporting. In addition, four additional mentoring organizations submitted their surveys after the initial reports were released last fall. Their data is included in the new reports that will be released.

"I was from a single parent family and was always in search of what I considered to be a good male role model," he said. "It is very hard growing up without a father figure in your life." While at a recent Joint Force Senior Non-Commissioned Officer Conference, Master Sergeant Benjamin Noble listened to a presentation by Dan Mulhern, Michigan's First Gentleman. The presentation highlighted the plight of young people in our communities and the particular challenges they face. The First Gentleman described how members of the military can help improve grades, attendance and self esteem by offering as little as one hour of their time each week to these children. Listening intently, the Master Sergeant well understood the need for role models based on his own first hand experience. When he was 13 years old, Ben had met an older gentleman, a man he calls his "surrogate grandfather". "The man took me under his wing" Ben says. "He taught me how to work and how to consider others as well as myself, essentially guiding my transition into manhood. He was my only role model and mentor. It is tough to go through life without a father." ment and effective strategies to defeat bullies by using positive actions and words. "VIP has developed a great set of tools for us to use" Ben enthused. Many of the issues we are discussing with the young people involving tobacco, drugs, bullying, and effective problem solving are the same issues I faced as a youth" he said. "I wish there had been a VIP around when I was young." As mentors, Ezill and Ben are currently working with the yo uth to help them model their newly learned skills. The team has been challenged to develop a sldt which will demonstrate these skills. The mentors have taken on the roles of director and producer and, according to Ben, "the youngsters are busy writing the copy and practicing their roles. They seem to really get it and they all want to be part of the presentation." When I asked about the group of children he is currently working with, the Master Sergeant laughed and said, "all the young men in my group have strong personalities!" I have the feeling Master Sergeant has worked with a few strong personalities before and I know after our discussion , he is truly enjoying the opportunity to provide a positive role model for our young men. For Ben, now is the time to step forward and help a child just as he had been helped years before. Ben took one of the flyers and made a connection with VIP Mentoring. Ben wasted no time getting started by attending orientation and training soon after making contact with VIP. He quickly completed the paperwork and made sure his references were informed of his intentions. Ben was on a mission and, in true Air Force style, he jetted through the process. Ben began with the VIP Mentoring school-based program at Fleming Academy on Detroit 's east side on April 8, 2008. Dressed for success in his military fatigues, he drew immediate attention from the fifth grade youngsters who asked him his name, rank and serial number. Senior Volunteer Mentor Ezill Sanders welcomed Ben and introduced him to his team of six young men. Ben and Ezill quickly formed a solid relationship with the group. So far, the two have engaged the young men in discussions involving anger manage- *r~U)(S Above (F-L) Ezill Sanders and (F-R) Master Sergeant Ben Noble take a moment for a photo with three of the young men on their Mentoring team. at&t city of J!J~lOR LEAGUE OF'DETROO DETROIT �TAKE YOUR CHILD To WORK DAY EXPO APRIL 24TH- CADILLAC PLACE, DETROIT The Take Your Child to Work Day Expo (2:30 - 4:30p.m.) will provide an opportunity for individuals to connect with mentoring programs in the Metro Detroit Mentor Collaborative that serve children throughout the area.

Also, after the November 2007 reports were released, four mentoring organizations that had not completed the online census completed hard copy surveys as part of the Men in Mentoring Initiative. The data from these four organizations is included in the revised reports.

Key Points: • • • • • • Wave V of the Mentor Michigan Census (MMC) was conducted in September and October of2007. The original reports were released in November 2007. 140 mentoring organizations operating 217 distinct programs reported. There are 18,232 active mentors in Michigan. This is the largest number of mentors ever counted in the state ofMichigan. It compares to 16,382 mentors counted last wave, an increase of 1,850 new active mentors, continuing the steady increases observed during each wave ofthe MMC. The total increase in new mentors from Wave I to Wave Vis 9, 124. (876 short ofthe 10,000 new mentors previously reported. With 220 organizations in the Mentor Michigan Registry, this survey achieved a 63% response rate, 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. �Governor Granholm, husband call for mentors -Latest from the Ann Arbor News - MLive.com Page I of2 Governor Granholm, husband call for mentors Posted by c}aholzma April21, 2008 !0:57AM ·sa Thompson I The Ann Arbor NewsGov. Jennifer Granholm and First Gentleman Dan Mulhern talk with members of the Ministerial Alliance of Ann Arbor including the Rev. Garther Roberson, left, the Rev. Phillip Ferrell, right, and the Rev. Rodrick Green at New Hope Baptist Church on Sunday to talk about Mentor Michigan, a program Mulhern is spearheading Gov. Jennifer Granholm and her husband challenged Ann Arbor area clergy Sunday to recruit 10 mentors from each of their churches as part of a faith-based program called Mentor Michigan. Granholm and first gentleman Dan Mulhern, both Catholics, spent Sunday morning speaking to the Ministerial Alliance of Ann Arbor and Ypsilanti at New Hope Baptist Church in Ann Arbor. They championed a statewide goal of increasing the number of mentors for children in the state by 10,000 adults. They also invited retired University of Michigan football coach Lloyd Carr to the breakfast as an example of a mentoring success. Granholm called Carr "a champion for mentoring young men," both on and off the football field. She encouraged pastors to be the same kind of champions in their churches. Mulhern - who is spearheading the Mentor Michigan program to recruit, retain and reward mentors- called mentoring a "crime prevention strategy, a school graduation strategy and a spiritual strategy." Mentor Michigan Purpose: To ensure all youths have ongoing, stable relationships with caring adults. Local Information: www. washtenawmentoring .org. "Coach Carr has been recruiting for a long time; he's changed the arcs of many lives," he told the clergy. Granholm and Mulhern urged the clergy to "change the world two lives at a time," as they work their way around the state spreading the mentoring message. "It's very exciting to have the governor involved with young people, and I intend to push it as well -to have alternatives to incarceration to crime and to drugs, it starts with the church," said Pastor Rodrick Green ofNew Hope Baptist Church. http://blog.mlive.com/annarbornews/2008/04/governor_granholm_husband_ call/print.html 04/23/2008 �Governor Granholm, husband call for mentors- Latest from the Ann Arbor News- MLive.com Page 2 of2 Locally, Jen Chapin-Smith is the coordinator for the Washtenaw Youth M.entoring_Coalit!QD. She offered suggestions for people who think they don't have the time to volunteer as a mentor. "Think about how much time you spend watching TV - you can spend just one hour of that with a kid, someone who will look up to you," Chapin-Smith said. But she cautioned that it's important to commit to at least six months if you decide to become a mentor. Mulhern agreed. He suggested not only taking a child to fun activities like ball games or fishing, but being involved in everyday chores like getting the oil changed and teaching about car care. "You do have time, in part, because it's important and there are a lot of ways to work it," he said. Special writer Lisa Allmendinger can be reached at lallmendinger@sbcglobal.net or at 734-433-1052. The Rev. Greg Roberts, of the governor's Office of Community and Faith-Based Initiatives, said anyone 18 or older is encouraged to be a mentor. "Mentors can incorporate a young person into their everyday life, and all mentors go through a background check and · develop relationships with the child's caregiver or parent," he said. The program is always in need of men willing to give an hour of their lives each week for a year, Mulhern said. "We want to put the 'men' in mentor," he said.

Each grantee will: • Increase the organization's ability to more effectively engage volunteers. • Increase the number of volunteers. • Increase the number of services provided to those in need. • Facilitate and enhance community partnerships that support volunteering. • Employ innovative methods to sustain the proposed volunteer activities. The first set of progress reports are due July 15, 2008. In order to provide VlG grantees with the tools and resources necessary to start and manage their programs, the MCSC hosted the first VIG grantee meeting on March 31. Special sessions on program sustainability and writing great stories were provided. Each grantee will work with the communications staff to craft program highlights relating to the impact of their work on volunteers, the organization, and the clients served. During the grant meeting each program shared a little of what their focus would be. Below is a glimpse of several outstanding initiatives: Big Brothers Big Sisters of Flint currently has a waiting list of 375 youth. Their Michigan's VIG funding will help them recruit volunteers including renewed efforts to target Baby Boomers through the AARP. BBBS of Flint has also increased their efforts to recruit African American males through the Black Leaders Forum- in January this group made the promise to recruit 1,000 mentors. They will also hold a special Fathers Day recruitment event in order to engage new male mentors. Kalamazoo Communities in Schools is working to connect K-12 students with resources so they are better equipped to utilize The Kalamazoo Promise, including a "recruitment and retention kit." (The Kalamazoo Promise is a scholarship offered to every Kalamazoo Public School student.) A highlight of this effort is a recent announcement that City of Kalamazoo employees are now eligible to take onehour per week to volunteer. The Regional Chamber of Commerce is expected to follow suit. Oak Park Business and Education Alliance will be using Michigan's VIG funds to tap into graduates of the Oak Park School District Faces of the Future alumni group. These 11th and 12th grade students successfully completed activities that make them perfect candidates for mentoring younger at-risk students in Oak Park. OPBEA will also work to engage thirty Oak Park alumni in mentoring activities.

Projects range in focus from literacy to the environment, and all will showcase the power of AmeriCorps and AmeriCorps alums through service in Michigan, as well as educate key stakeholders on the role, impact, and potential of national service. The MCSC is providing support and resources by: • Granting $5 ,870 in AmeriCorps Week mini-grants to help support 12 projects and events throughout MI. • Obtaining a proclamation to give programs from the Governor declaring Michigan's AmeriCorps Week. • Publishing a "Great Stories" booklet featuring current AmeriCorps members and alums. • Arranging for Commissioner Lloyd Jackson to speak at the Detroit Kickoff on Monday, May 12. Russ Mawby Signature Service Project- June 11 -12, 2008 Benton Harbor, Michigan Each year AmeriCorps members from all around the state join together for two days of training, teambuilding, and service. This year' s project, in partnership with Harbor Habitat for Humanity, will involve construction and landscaping of several houses in the Crystal Estates neighborhood. The MCSC is seeking sponsorship for the twoday event to cover some of the expenses. Please review the attached sponsorship wish list and let Janice Harvey know if you have organizations and individuals we should approach. AmeriCorps Alums Michigan AmeriCorps Alums are helping to rebuild the Gulf Coast! Six alumni traveled to Biloxi, Mississippi this past Wednesday (April 23rd) for five days of meaningful service in partnership with Hands On Gulf Coast. The MCSC provided each alum with a $100 scholarship to assist with travel and lodging, as well as additional funds to cover meal expenses (a total of $940 in support). Michigan will be well-represented at the National Conference on Service and Yolunteerism and the AmeriCorps Alums pre-conference next month in Atlanta, Georgia. This conference has great resources to help alums increase chapter involvement and continue their commitment to a lifetime of service. At least four alums chapter leaders plan to attend, and the MCSC will provide two scholarships to cover registration fees and travel expenses. Expanded Training Opportunities • Disaster Preparedness Fifty-one AmeriCorps and Learn and Serve individuals from across the state participated in a comprehensive two-day training conducted by the American Red Cross of Greater Grand Rapids and funded by the MCSC. All members who successfully completed the training series were eligible to participate in the American Red Cross Disaster Services Human Resource System - the system of national disaster responders. Please see the attached handout for additional details of the training. • Coaching for Nonprofit Managers This two-day training helped build a network of individuals throughout Michigan who use the "coach approach" to assist others with reaching their goals. Ten AmeriCorps program directors and several Learn and Serve coordinators attended the training and learned how to better help others by listening, asking powerful questions, motivating, and offering accountability. Site Visits Program officers are currently conducting monitoring site visits. A typical site visit consists of interviews with the program director, one-two members, site supervisors, observation of program activities, and review of member files. These visits are followed by comprehensive written feedback. �Fifty-one AmeriCorps and Learn and Serve participants from ten different programs across Michigan are ready to respond to local or national disasters such as • fires , floods , and hurricanes. During an intensive, comprehensive two-day disaster relief training, the participants learned shelter operations, mass care , CPR, first aid, and more. These courses qualify them to staff a Red Cross emergency shelter in Michigan and across the United States On January 23-24 and February 28-29, 2008, the American Red Cross of Greater Grand Rapids hosted the 2nd annual AmeriCorps Disaster Training . This training series is an initiative funded by the Michigan Community Service Commission (MCSC) and implemented by the American Red Cross of Greater Grand Rapids. The training was open to all Michigan's AmeriCorps and Learn and ServeMichigan programs. Participants learn hands-on management of Red Cross supplies in real-time scenarios. Sessions were taught by volunteer instructors who shared first-hand what it is like to respond to a national disaster and volunteer in a shelter. Training participants were required to set up, open , and Cooking their own meals teaches trainees how to use afoll-service kitchen manage a simulated Red Cross shelter where they took turns role-playing disaster Instructors with firs t-hand experience victims and relief taught Shelter Operations. workers. The simulation provided members with critical hands-on experience and the opportunity to understand what staying in an emergency shelter is like for the victims of disasters. Th is is one of the strongest components of the training because it teaches the participants to empathize, give quality care , and focus on the people they are serving . I At the end of the training , the participants were encouraged to complete the Red Cross Disaster Volunteer Application so they can volunteer with their local Red Cross chapters . to. • The American Red Cross of Greater Grand Rapids, a Michigan 's AmeriCorps grantee. provided expert resources. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Michael , Ex Officio MEMBERS ABSENT: Elizabeth Bunn Tony Campbell Melonie Colaianne Jimmie Comer Lloyd Jackson Russ Mawby Susan Meston Bernard Parker Marsha Smith Michael Thomas Eileen Wilson-Oyelaran OTHERS: I. Diana Algra, Volunteer Centers ofMichigan Kyle Caldwell, Michigan Nonprofit Association Mary Grill , Michigan Community Service Commission Janice Harvey, Michigan Community Service Commission Paula Kaiser VanDam, Michigan Community Service Commission Kevin Reeves, Michigan Community Service Commission Amy Smitter, Michigan Campus Compact Jocelyn Yanda, Department ofHuman Services Welcome and Introduction- Chairman Dan Mulhern The meeting was called to order at 10:35 a.m. by Chairn1an Dan Mulhern . Chairman Mulhern welcomed new Commissioner Joe Lubig to the MCSC and Commissioners introduced themselves. �II. Review and Approval ofNovember 13 , 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 Seese seconded the motion. The motion passed unanimously. III. Standing Committee Reports - Chairman Dan Mulhem The Commissioners reviewed Executive Committee meeting minutes from February 8, 2008 . Executive Committee members approved AmeriCorps Competitive funding and Volunteer Investment Grants. Chairman Mulhern summarized the types of funding to update new Commissioners. AmeriCorps grants two types of funding ; competitive grants where MCSC submits applications to CNCS and competes with a national pool of applicants, and the formula funding that CNCS grants to the MCSC which determines sub-grantees. The MCSC also receives funding through the state budget to fund Volunteer Investment Grants to stimulate the growth of Volunteer Centers statewide. At one point the MCSC received $1 million, but now the funding level is at $250,000. The MCSC lost the funding in the FY06-07 budget year because of the budget crisis. This year the funding is targeting initiatives that focus on areas from the Blueprint for Action. Chairman Mulhem asked for a motion to approve the minutes. Commissioner Niester moved to approve the minutes, Commissioner K wak seconded the motion. The motion passed unanimously. IV. Executive Director Report - Musette Michael Ms. Michael updated Commissioners on upcoming events and asked them to attend if possible. Their attendance increases the MCSC 's visibility, provides Commissioners the opportunity to network with others in the field . and helps them to gain ideas to provide direction. Ms. Michael also described initiatives beginning through America's Promise to address the epidemic of high school dropouts. It is a nationwide epidemic and problem; 1 out of every 3 91h graders will not graduate and half of those not graduating are minority students. State Farm Insurance will be funding summits around the state to address the issue. There will be a summit on April 24 and 25 in Detroit and October 20 in Lansing. The summits will address the dropout issue and the causes and solutions from a national, state, and local perspective. We continue to emphasize the role mentoring plays on a child ' s academic success and the role service-learning plays by keeping kids engaged in school. Our AmeriCorps programs provide support for kids inside and outside of school. The MCSC and it's programs play a critical role in addressing this issue. We will be attending the summits and invite Commissioners to attend also. Ms. Michael also invited Commissioners to attend the Michigan Giving and Volunteering Celebration, sponsored by Comcast, on April 16th at the Capitol. She also reminded Commissioners that the Russ Mawby Signature Service Project will take place on June 11 and 12 in Benton Harbor. Commissioners also received updated Key Information Binder information. The binder material includes programs in each of the Commissioners geographic area. 2 �A. Update on Blueprint for Action I Communication Calendar - Ms. Michael explained that each of the MCSC program areas are working on their activities within the Blueprint for Action and have highlighted those completed in their specific areas . It was suggested that we add the Blueprint for Action to the MCSC website. Mary Grill explained the Communication Calendar and that everything related to outreach or communications is listed. It is an 18-month calendar and is broken down by program area. A Commissioner activity section has also been added. This provides a snapshot of the communications activities for the MCSC. Ms. Grill shared that the MCSC is working with some MSU information technology students who have committed to reorganizing the MCSC website as a project. She also announced that Elyse Ver Berkmoes joined the MCSC communications staff. B. Mentor Michigan - Paula VanDam I. Mentor Michigan Month -Paula VanDam gave an overview ofMentor Michigan activities during the past quarter. We wrapped up a very successful Mentoring Month in January. One of the new components of Mentoring Month this year included the mini-grants that were awarded to mentoring organizations registered with Mentor Michigan and completing the census. The grants were an opportunity for them to apply for funds to host a mentoring recruitment event or a mentoring recognition event in January. The MCSC awarded nearly $17,000 to over 25 mentoring organizations or collaboratives to host these events. There were 37 local events that took place statewide. Commissioners Alexander and Thomas participated in a local event in Saginaw. Thanks to Commissioner Seese for helping to secure Saginaw Spirit tickets for one of the events and also to Commissioner Jewell for her efforts in helping with a Kalamazoo event. In addition, we were fortunate to have the Governor host a press conference on January gth to release the results of Wave V of the Mentor Michigan Census. This was a great opportunity to draw some media attention to the growth of mentoring over the past year. In addition the Governor set another goal in her State of the State address. She not only thanked the 21,000 mentors who are currently giving of their time but also committed to recruiting 10,000 more mentors between now and the end of her administration. We are working on our plan so that we can reach that number. Ms. VanDam stated that over 100 PSAs were distributed around the state although we don ' t have a count of how many were played statewide. Mary Grill also thanked Larry Williamson and Comcast for playing the PSA during February. Commissioner Lawson said that many corporations would be happy to play the mentoring PSAs on their cafeteria monitors, hallway monitors and in the manufacturing plants if they are open captioned. She will help us work with the Corporate Councils next year to get the PSAs played. Chairman Mulhern asked if we can only show them during January. Ms. Grill stated that they do not mention the month of January in them so they can played anytime throughout the year. 3 �2. John Hancock Essay Contest - Ms. VanDam explained that John Hancock Financial Services has contributed $100,000 annually to Mentor Michigan for the last three years. They had piloted an essay contest in the Boston area where they are based and wanted to bring it to Michigan, specifically Southeast Michigan. High School students write essays about John Hancock 's life, and John Hancock executives select one winner to win a 1 $10,000 scholarship and trip to Washington D.C. over July 4 h. Chairman Mulhern and Commissioner Lawson also served as judges for the contest. John Hancock wanted to partner specifically with Mentor Michigan, and we encouraged them to expand beyond the Southeast Michigan area. MCSC staff did a tremendous job working through our Learn and Serve network, mentoring network, and also AmeriCorps programs to gather a good number of essays. A student from a Southgate school that had been involved with service-learning won the scholarship. Commissioner Lawson shared that they not only gave the $10,000 scholarship to the winner, but also gave a $2,500 scholarship to all of the finalists. In addition , Dan talked them into giving a $5,000 scholarship to the second place winner. Commissioner Lawson asked for ideas on how we can recruit more writers from schools around the state. This is a great opportunity for kids to get cash for college. John Hancock is interested in running the contest statewide next year. Commissioners can share the opportunity next year in their local communities. Chairman Mulhern would like to make sure that the contest continues to be marketed in the mentoring network. 3. Michigan National Guard Partnership- Ms. VanDam shared that the MCSC has formed a partnership with the Michigan National Guard to recruit mentors. Mr. Mulhern launched the partnership at the annual conference for senior enlisted soldiers and airn1an in January. There will be a follow up presentation in March in Kalamazoo with commanding officers. The goal is to recruit 500 mentors by 2010. We will be rolling out a DVD and recruitment kit to the units and will also establish local partnerships between mentoring organizations and various National Guard units across the state. Ms. Michael also stated that the Mentor Michigan staff have a tracking system for the initiative. Chairman Mulhern stated that this is an extraordinary partnership. From aPR and marketing standpoint, we ' ll have a tremendous opportunity once the initiative kicks off. One possibility for us in terms of marketing is to have the National Guard mentor, Jerrod, and his little speak in a corporate setting to tell the story of the benefits of mentoring. Mr. Mulhern also shared that he spoke with the Michigan Municipal League and there may be a possibility to speak before the mayors this summer. 4. Legislative Amendment- Ms. VanDam stated that there is a need to amend the Child Protection Law to allow checks ofvolunteers on the child abuse registry. Some federal grants for mentoring require organizations to check the registry; however there is confusion within the law as to who DHS has the ability to share that information with. The law currently restricts who 4 �may have access to this infom1ation. Mentor Michigan is working with the Mentor Michigan Provider Council to ask for an amendment to the Child Protection Law that will allow a potential mentor to ask DHS to confirm that they are not on the central registry and to allow them to share that information for either employment or volunteer purposes. The Providers Council has suggested that DHS should also be able to share that information directly with a designated volunteer organization or employer. The language is being written so that it can apply to anyone in a volunteer organization. There is a draft of the bill and they are looking for sponsors. 5. Launch ofMentorPRO - Ms. VanDam was excited to share that Mentor Michigan is launching a new web-based evaluation program for mentoring organizations called MentorPRO. It was created by MENTOR and beta tested by a number of mentoring programs across the country. It is an extraordinarily sophisticated management information system for mentoring programs from in-taking of volunteers to getting them screened and matched, and then once they are matched it allows them to manage the match relationship all in a web-based tracking system. It also has a reminder system to notify case managers that it is time to check in with a mentor match. We have a long way to go to get programs to implement it. Some Big Brothers Big Sisters organizations have their own tracking systems that they use so they won't need to use MentorPRO. The first mentoring programs will be trained next week; there are 14 programs that will pilot the program. This program will not replace the Mentor Michigan Census as not every mentoring program will sign on to use the program. 6. Mentor Michigan Conference- the 2008 Mentor Michigan Conference will take place on November 17 at the Kellogg Center and will be held in conjunction with the AmeriCorps Member Celebration. This will allow more AmeriCorps members to participate in the conference. 7. Mentor Michigan Wave V Census - The results of the census were announced in January. Ms. VanDam shared some highlights. The number of mentors increased by 4,200 to over 20,600 so we've seen a steady growth of mentors over the last 2 years. The number of kids being served by mentors stayed the same from last year (approximately 28,000 children) which means there is a decline in group mentoring and an increase in oneon-one mentoring. As there are programs that did not report, it is reasonable to estimate that there are more than 35,000 mentoring relationships. Also, recruitment efficiency has improved which means that although the number of inquiries is down, there is a better success rate of inquiries turning into applicants. There are still mentors and mentees on waiting lists in all geographic areas so we need to do a better job of getting programs to coordinate and collaborate. Mentor Michigan needs to have a better presence in the Detroit area. There have been conversations with mentoring collaboratives to see how we can bring major mentoring programs in Detroit together to talk about a larger plan and what it will take to build mentoring in that community. Commissioner Lawson suggested that it might be 5 �worthwhile to work with Skillman and their five neighborhoods, and may be helpful for Mentor Michigan to put together a list of what we could offer Skillman. There is also discussion to have a Mentor Michigan staff person in the Detroit area. The Census also showed that there needs to be more technical training for the mentoring programs and Mentor Michigan will work to provide that. We will also be providing $100,000 in organizational development/capacity building grants ( 10 - $10,000 grants) that will allow organizations to pick an issue (fund development, board development, pr and marketing) to help with organizational issues. The RFP will be issued this summer. 8. Father's Day Promotion- Ms. VanDam stated that the promotion with Meijer in 2007 was very successful and asked whether we should approach Meijer again this year. Mr. Mulhern is comfortable asking Mark Murray, from Meijer, for their support again with the promotion. It was also suggested to see ifDP & Co. would help with the marketing of this promotion. Mary Grill will speak with DP & Co. about helping. There will be a committee to work on this topic: Janet Lawson, Lori Jewell, Think Tank Committee, and Amy Smitter. They will have a conference call in March or April to come up with some ideas. C. AmeriCorps Update 1. AmeriCorps Alums -There are five chapter locations; Metro Detroit, Grand Rapids, Lansing, Marquette, and West MI Lakeshore. They have held various events and participated in several service projects. We recently announced that the chapters will have the opportunity to apply for some mini-grants with some funds that were designated from GSA proceeds. These grants will be used for projects or events that meet the goals established including chapter expansion, cultivating new partners to support alumns, connecting alurnns to current AmeriCorps members, and more. Megan Sargent has been convening an alumn leadership team. 2. AmeriCorps Week - Ms. VanDam shared that AmeriCorps Week will take place May 11-18. It is a nationwide event designed to bring more attention to AmeriCorps. Michigan's AmeriCorps programs are organizing different public relations and service projects in their local cornnmnities for that week. It coincides with the Nonprofit Superconference again this year and AmeriCorps members will give a presentation on AmeriCorps and complete an on-site service project. Once we have details on local service projects going on during that week, we will notify Commissioners. 3. Russ Mawby Signature Service Project - This year's project will take place June 11-12 in Benton Harbor. Commissioners are invited to participate. D. MLK Day Activities- Jeanine Yard summarized activities that took place on MLK Day. It is a priority of the CNCS to make MLK Day a day of service. The MCSC promoted it through its grantees and partners. Partners included Volunteer Centers of Michigan , Michigan Campus Compact, the LEAGUE, 6 �Mentor Michigan and CNCS-Michigan. Through this promotion, Michigan had 46 organizations post more than 119 MLK Day service or volunteer opportunities on the MLK website. The MCSC will work with it' s partners to expand next year; we would like to offer mini-grants to organizations hosting events. Commissioners will also be invited to participate in MLK Day events next year. E. Learn & Serve Update 1. Institute Summary- Ms. VanDam gave an update on Learn and Serve activities. The annual Institute on Service-Learning and Civic Engagement was scheduled to be hosted at Central Michigan University on February 7 and 8. Due to a snow storm, CMU was closed. However, Dan had an enthusiastic audience for his leadership presentation. Out of the 350 registered attendees, 125 made it through the storm. Michigan Campus Compact and MCSC staff were able to put together a modified agenda for the conference. 2. National Service-Learning Conference - Ms. VanDam shared that Angelia Salas will be presenting at the National Service-Learning Conference in April in Minneapolis. The session is "Building Programs that Last" and is based on the MCSC ' s program sustainability efforts as it relates to the Learn and Serve grants we offer to school districts. Also, the MCSC offered a grant to Deborah Wagner from the Ionia County ISD to create a professional development product called "The Box". Deb will be offering a full-day preconference session launching "The Box" nationally. There are many organizations waiting for the unveiling of it. Commissioner Lawson would like Angelia and/or Deb Wagner to come to Ford to demo the box. 3. 2008-09 Learn and Serve- Michigan Outreach - Ms. VanDam stated that the MCSC has funding available for nine new districts for Learn and Serve. We are holding outreach sessions in Kalamazoo and Detroit to instruct them about the guidelines. F. Governor's Service Awards - Chairman Mulhern stated that there was a great turnout at the GSA Sponsor Breakfast at the Governor' s Residence. Past sponsors, Commissioners, and award recipients were invited. The purpose of the event was to get people excited about this year' s Governor's Service Awards and to gather information from the important stakeholders on whether changes should be made to the program. A video was shown that included two past winners, Randy Walker (past Mentor of the Year) and Tuesday Toolmen (Past Volunteer Program of the Year). Attendees were asked whether we should think about revising the celebration from the big theatrical event at the Fox Theater to a smaller event at the Governor's Residence. Sponsors were asked for their thoughts on changing the format and stated that we should do what makes the most sense. The business case that was presented to them was that the event grossed about $185 ,000 and netted about $100,000 (so we spent about $85 ,000 on expenses for the event). Options discussed were to hold a smaller event where we might not incur the large expenses or need to fill a huge 7 �venue like the Fox Theater, and instead hold the event at the Governor' s Residence. The proceeds from the event could be used to get the message of volunteerism out more strategically in more local communities. The vignettes of the wonderful winners could be used during cable programs. The corporate attendees said they don't care about marketing (the sponsors name in program, etc.); they contribute because it is the right thing to do, and to plan whatever event that makes sense. Others felt strongly that being on the stage with the governor was very important. Mary Zatina from Oakwood Health Systems said it was great to have a winner on the stage and to be able to bring several of their employees to the event. Regarding the amount of media coverage the event gets, Mary Grill stated that the event itself doesn't get much coverage but the winners get coverage in their local communities. Commissioner Williamson shared that the breakfast event was very successful and said that one attendee (Delta Dental) stated to him that they thought doing something at the Governor's Residence would be a great way to honor volunteers. Commissioner Kwak said that it is hard to have the conversation without knowing what the event means to all the people who attend (nominators, finalists , and winners) because that is who the event is for. She suggested that a survey of nominators, finalists and winners go out to get an idea of what they would like to see. If we had data that supported one format or the other, it would help with the decision-making. It would be nice to find out what matters to the people in Michigan that will motivate them to volunteer. One comment that was made to Chris was that they liked the current format because they could bring a lot of volunteers and it was not cost prohibitive. It's about being inclusive. What they (Kellogg Foundation) are hearing from their grantees is that when you pull one or two people out of a collective leadership model and give them awards you actually discourage other people from getting involved. To celebrate collectively is a very important concept. Commissioner Niester asked if we have a reception at the Residence, would we give up the opportunity to also do a celebration in the city of the finalists and winners. We're not going to get 2000 people to come down from the Upper Peninsula for an event in Detroit, but if we celebrate the recipients in their local communities, you may get more people involved. The real story is in the field so you may gain more exposure of the awards locally and with local media. The Fox Theater is a great venue but it's not a central venue. The event may pull more people if it is in a central location. Commissioner Lubig suggested three or four regional events where the good stories of the area could be shared. By sharing the stories, it could build momentum. It could take place with other events that are occurring. Commissioner Alexander asked whether the different locations would be a logistical problem and also what is the primary purpose of the awards. Do we 8 �want to recognize the recipients? Are we trying to pull people in and show them what they can do with their talents and what they get in return? If we are trying to do that and also pull in more sponsors, is it a good idea to have it community-based or is it a better idea to have a larger event with more exposure? Commissioner Sowmick spoke with his talent buyer to see what kind of artist they could get with the level of funding the GSA provides, asking an artist to perform for 30 minutes. The buyer asked what the main focus of the event is; to sell tickets, to provide quality entertainment, or to recognize the participants. An entertainer has to come in at this cost and conform their performance to our agenda. If we're looking to bring more people into the process, we can accomplish the same objective with the local event. From the media perspective, we're going to get more coverage from a Lansing based event. If there is an event at the Governor' s Residence, bring in a video crew to videotape it and then use the video vignettes to showcase the winners locally. Maybe there can be an arrangement with Michigan State University to use the Wharton Center for the awards ceremony and the Governor's Residence for the reception. MCSC staff shared that finalists have commented that they like the fact that they can bring more family and friends to the event now that it is at the Fox Theater. When it was a dinner/awards ceremony, they were limited with the number of guests they could bring and it was also cost prohibitive because of it being a dinner. Kyle Caldwell gave background on the transition from the last administration to the new administration. Taking a hiatus from doing the awards ceremony was considered, but the grassroots organizations were not happy with that option. During the first year of the Granholm administration, the Governor Service Awards were presented in local communities when they were attending other events. Is there a possibility that you do the awards ceremony and then also highlight the awardees in their local communities at other events? Mary Grill said that we did 5 or 6 presentations that year. The Governor only presented one of the awards (the Romney Award at the Volunteer SuperConference) so there was disappointment from the field that the profile of the event went down. The awards presentations at the local events got lost in the larger message of the event. Chris K wak said that the local dinners are so common place and that the event at the Fox Theater was exciting. She was able to get people who wouldn't have considered going to attend the event. Having a big name entertainer gives the event a big buzz and people want to go. Mary Grill shared that the only issue with having something at the Governor's Residence is the number of people that can attend. In earlier years for GSA Receptions held at the Residence, there were 250 in attendance and that was 9 �over the 200 recommended. If finalists and winners are both invited along with their guests, the numbers would be larger than can be accommodated. Jocelyn Yanda stated that she enjoys the vignettes of the winners and that she hopes that we don't lose that. Dan Mulhern reiterated the question asked "What are we trying to accomplish?" Is it recognizing people, is it to grow the movement, can we save some money, is there more outreach to media. There has been a pretty strong push back that it is about creating that quality of experience around the Fox Theater. Janet Lawson said there is something special about calling the winners forward, honoring them, and telling their story. Having been the person reading the information on the winners, the story is better told visually (through the videos). From the fundraising standpoint, many of the sponsors are from the SE Michigan area as opposed to the Lansing or Grand Rapids area and that the sponsors may prefer to have it in the metropolitan Detroit area. Another thought would be to do something at the Residence every other year and still have people tell their story through videos, promote it on local cable programming, have entertainment, and have a special, more intimate event. Then on the down year you have more money for programming. Chairman Mulhern asked the GSA Committee to calculate the budgets of both an event at the Fox Theater and a reception at the Residence, and the number of attendees that can attend. Also, gather information from a survey. The GSA Committee can meet via conference call to make a decision. Mary Grill said that once the decision of the type of event is made, the sponsor letters will be sent out. G. Advocacy- Ms. Michael explained that a copy of the MCSC's draft Volunteerism and National Service Platform was emailed out to Commissioners this week for their feedback. This is the beginning of the conversation and we hope to get other states to sign on. Once we know who the presidential candidates are, we will float our platform. We'd like Michigan to be known and to be a step ahead. Chairman Mulhern sent a letter to Senators Levin and Stabenow asking them to join the newly formed Senate National Service Caucus. H. Financial Report- Kevin Reeves gave an update on the federal budget recommendations for national service. The budget for CNCS for FY08 was $856,331 million. The proposed amount for FY09 is $829 million, which is a drop of more than $26 million. Learn and Serve is taking more than a $5 million dollar cut which would mean a cute for Michigan of more than $100,000 if enacted. When you consider the fact that our average Learn and Serve school-based grants are approximately $20,000, you are in tum losing 5 grants. AmeriCorps State & National has an increase of $17 million, which 10 �would increase the number of AmeriCorps members to the President's request of75 ,000. V. Public Comment Diana Agra shared that the High School Drop Out Summits will be taking place in Detroit on April24 and 25 and Lansing on October 20. Amy Smitter thanked Lori Jewell and State Farm Insurance as they are serving as a sponsor. VI.

Welcome and Introduction - Chairman Dan Mulhern The meeting was called to order at 12:25 p.m. by Chairman Dan Mulhem. Chairman Mulhern welcomed everyone and Commissioner Mawby gave background on the Sherman Lakes YMCA. Commissioner Mawby al so introduced Luke Austerfeld, Executive Director of the Sherman Lakes YMCA, who described their commitment to children and their partnership with AmeriCoqJs. II. Review and Approval of February 29, 2008 Minutes - Chairman Dan Mulhern Chairman Mulhern asked for a motion to approve the minutes from the February 29, 2008 board meeting. Commissioner Collier moved to approve the minutes; Commissioner Parker seconded the motion . The motion passed unanimous! y. III. Standing Committee Reports - Chairman Dan Mulhern The Commissioners reviewed Executive Committee meeting minutes from March 28, 2008. IV. Executive Director Report- Musette Michael Musette Michael announced that Mary Grill will be leaving the MCSC and joining the Michigan Fitness Foundation. She will be working part-time so that she can develop her coaching business. Ms. Grill gave an update on the development of the MCSC website. Mary worked with students from a MSU technology class to reorganize the website so that the information on the site is easier to find, has a friendlier look and is more user friendly. A. Update on Blueprint for Action- Ms. Michael shared the staffs feedback on the Blueprint for Action. Stafflikes the one-page Blueprint as it provides good direction but doesn't think the secondary document (activities, implementation, and completion dates) works well within their work areas. They suggested an approach that is more workplan/calendar directed. Staff will be meeting later this summer to update the Blueprint for Action and will bring it to the next Commissioner meeting for approval. 1. Communications Calendar - The Communications Calendar highlights the different activities and events that take place each month. A section was added for Commissioners Activities. Chairman Mulhern pointed out that Commissioners roles are also in other areas of the calendar (i.e. GSA fundraising, AmeriCorps Week). Commissioners would like the MCSC to provide a list of events/activities Commissioners should attend and what role we would like them to take. 2. Fast Facts -The Commissioners received a MCSC Fast Facts sheet that they should use when they are out in their communities . Commissioner Collier shared that he uses the statewide information from the Fast Facts when he is meeting with others and finds it very helpful. It was suggested to add these Fast Facts to the MCSC website. 2 �3. Recmiting Retirees- The MCSC will be speaking to the Office of Retirement Services (ORS) about recmitment of mentors. ORS is the point of contact for state employees who are thinking about retiring. This is another population that we are working with to become volunteers and mentors. B. Mentor Michigan- Paula VanDam 1. Michigan National Guard Initiative- Paula VanDam gave an overview of the new initiative that kicked offin January with the goal of recruiting 500 new mentors over the next three years. We've done three presentations (and a fourth presentation coming up next week) to different National Guard groups, primarily those in officer and leadership positions, to launch this initiative. As part of this initiative, we've created a recruitment toolkit that the National Guard officers can use during their drill weekends when they are presenting the initiative to their soldiers. The toolkits include a brochure that explains the goals of the project and how to get involved along with a DVD that can be played so that everyone hears the same message. A postcard was also created so that people could fill out to share their interest in becoming a mentor. This postcard will be used for other areas of recmitment also. Chairn1an Mulhern also asked that the DVD be added as a link on the website or uploaded to U-tube. 2. State of the State Goal- In Governor Granholm's 2008 State of the State Address, she committed to recmitl 0,000 more mentors by 2010 and the MCSC/Mentor Michigan has been tasked to make that happen. We are providing bi-weekly updates for the Governor's cabinet meetings to report on the progress toward the goal. To help reach this goal, Mentor Michigan is working with state departments to identify a mentoring liaison to work with Mentor Michigan to develop a recruitment campaign for state employees. 3. Mentor Sunday's- The Governor and Dan have recently re-initiated Mentor Sunday's. They work with the Governor's Office on Faith-based Initiatives to identify churches in specific communities and speak at the churches about getting involved in mentoring. They were recently in Ann Arbor. Mentor Michigan is working with the Governor's Office on Faith-based Initiatives to retool these visits and to begin them again. Chairman Mulhern shared that they work with the pastors of the churches to recmit 10 new mentors. He shared that this is a great way for Commissioners to get involved by helping identify churches that would be willing to let Dan and the Governor visit and speak on mentoring. 4. Father's Day Promotion- Meijer is interested in participating in the gift card promotion again this year. Last year they donated $2.00 from every $25 gift card sold during Father's Day weekend to Mentor Michigan. We will be discussing the promotion with the Mentor Michigan Providers Council during their upcoming quarterly meeting to get their ideas on how 3 �to make the promotion more successful. Last year we raised over $14,000 with very little promotional effort. 5. Launch ofMentorPRO- This is a new national online management system for mentoring organizations developed by the National Mentoring Partnership. Mentor Michigan launched MentorPro several months ago and have eight organizations cuiTently using MentorPro with seven more in the process of gaining access. Michigan was one of the first states to launch this program. This program will transform the mentoring field because of the types of information it will allow them to have. 6. Mentor Michigan Wave V Census- Recently one of the larger mentoring organizations shared with us that the information they reported in the Mentor Michigan Census Wave V was incmTect. Rather than including their state data, they included their national data. Mentor Michigan decided to work with Kahle Research to revise the reports to ensure more accurate reporting. There were four additional mentoring organizations that submitted their surveys after the initial reports were released so we incorporated their data into the revised reports . Mentor Michigan will be releasing the revised reports. Paula reiterated that only mentoring programs that are registered with Mentor Michigan are allowed to participate in the census. Commissioner Bloodworth shared that CMS Energy CEO Dave Joos unveiled a commitment to Jackson County's Great Start Collaborative to invest in early childhood education and will launch a significant push for mentors. Ms. Michael stated that the MCSC could use CMS Energy as a corporate pilot. A generic DVD is also in the works for mentor recruitment (similar to the National Guard DVD) to help with corporate recruitment. Commissioner K wak explained that she has been participating in some discussions that are taking place around the state as part of an initiative called Defining Michigan's Moment which focus on how to be involved in their communities. Public Sector Consultants are hosting the discussions and will be releasing their findings from the discussions in May. This might be a good organization to connect with for recruiting volunteers and mentors. Commissioner Collier suggested the MCSC contact Peter Pratt at Public Sector Consultants. C. AmeriCorps Update 1. AmeriCorps Match Policy- Ms. VanDam explained that in September 2000 the MCSC board approved a graduated match requirement for Michigan's AmeriCorps programs that ensured that the organizations had some sustainability within their programs and allow the MCSC to share the limited resources with other communities and organizations. As pati of the CNCS 2008 appropriations, Congress changed the requirements for matching AmeriCorps grants. There are no longer separate match requirements for member support and program operating costs but will be a 4 �single match requirement. Grantees must meet an overall increasing match requirement, up to 50% by year ten. The MCSC staff is recommending the MCSC replace the Michigan's AmeriCorps match policy with the new CNCS single match requirement. This would take effect at the beginning of the 2008-09 program year. Chairman Mulhern asked for a motion to support the staff recommendation to replace the Michigan's AmeriCorps match policy with the new CNCS single match requirement. Commissioner Collier moved to support the staff recommendation of adoption of this new match requirement, Commissioner Alexander supported the motion. The motion passed unanimously. 2. AmeriCorps Week - Ms. VanDam shared that AmeriCorps Week will take place May 11-18. It is a nationwide event designed to bring more attention to AmeriCorps. Michigan's AmeriCorps programs are organizing different public relations and service projects in their local communities for that week. The MCSC is granting almost $6,000 in mini-grants to help support AmeriCorps week projects and Commissioner Lloyd Jackson will be speaking at the Detroit Kickoff. Commissioners were given a list of other AmeriCorps Week projects and encouraged to attend those in their communities. We will also be publishing a "Great Stories" booklet that will be distributed. AmeriCorps Week coincides with the Nonprofit Superconference again this year and AmeriCorps members will give a presentation on AmeriCorps and complete an on-site service project. 3. Russ Mawby Signature Service Project- This year's project will take place June 11-12 in Benton Harbor with approximately 250 AmeriCorps members participating. We will partner with Harbor Habitat for Humanity and will be involved in construction and landscaping of several homes in the Crystal Estates neighborhood. We are seeking sponsorships for the 2-day event so if Commissioners are interested or know someone that may be interested, they are encourage to do so. Conm1issioners are invited to participate and a registration fom1 is included in their meeting packets. 4. AmeriCorps Alums- There are six alumni traveling to Biloxi, MS for a service project with Hands On Gulf Coast and the MCSC provided each alum with a $100 scholarship to assist with travel and lodging. We are also sending two alum chapter leaders to the National Conference on Serve and Volunteerism and AmeriCorps Alums pre-conference in Atlanta, GA. The MCSC is providing two scholarships to cover registration and travel expenses. 5. Trainings- The MCSC hosted a two-day Disaster Preparedness training for 51 AmeriCorps and Learn and Serve individuals from across the state. We also hosted a Coaching for Nonprofit Managers two-day training. Ten AmeriCorps program directors and several Learn and Serve coordinators attended the training. 5 �D. Learn & Serve Update - Paula VanDam 1. Renewal and New Applications- We are in the grant review process for new and renewal applications for the 2008-09 grant cycle. Eighteen current grantees are eligible for renewal funding and four new applicants have submitted grants. The recommendations for funding will be presented to the executive committee at its June meeting. 2. Technology Funding- The MCSC had the oppmiunity through the Learn and Serve Community Based fund to apply for funding to focus on Web 2.0. The MCSC was awarded $30,000 from the CNCS. We are currently seeking a technology intern to help set up the systems needed to implement this initiative. 3. Learn and Serve Alumni Funding- The MCSC was awarded $25,000 from CNCS to develop an emerging Learn and Serve Alumni Network. These alum networks will help support peer mentoring with new grantees, develop resources that show how service-learning can help with the new requirements, and to increase service-learning participation across the state. E. Volunteer Investment Grants- Ms. VanDam shared that the MCSC awarded 13 Volunteer Investment Grants (VIG) to agencies focusing on three priority areas driven by the Blueprint for Action: mentoring, boomers, and youth. F. High School Drop Out Summits- Ms. Michael gave statistics on the high school drop out rate. There was a summit in Detroit on April 24 and there is another statewide summit scheduled for October 20. Mentor Michigan is on the statewide summit agenda for addressing the crisis as a strategy. Commissioner Parker gave an overview of the Detroit summit. It was agreed that it takes the entire community to come together to address the issue, that it is not just a school system problem. The poverty levels are the main factor that cause low achievement and the main reason why children drop out is because they are not performing (low grades). Another factor is they don't feel connected and they don't see a benefit from school. Some of the best practices include being engaged in the community and radical transforn1ation. There also needs to be an urgency to it (can't be a 5-year plan). It might be helpful to have retired teachers mentor some of the new teachers. Diana Algra shared that there is going to be a series of hearings around the state with parents, teachers, and conmmnity leaders about the drop out issues. They will bring the results of these hearings to the summit in October. They would like to address the topic at the Governor's Education Summit. Commissioners would like to discuss at the MCSC Retreat what we as a Commission can do to address the issue. What is our programmatic philosophy? What can AmeriCorps, Learn and Serve and mentoring do to address the issue? The retreat should focus on this issue from both the program side and the public relations/advocacy side. 6 �G. Governor's Service Awards- Mary Grill gave an update on the fundraising for the Governor's Service Awards. She also thanked Commissioners for their commitment to make follow up calls to sponsors and reminded them that the follow up is very important to reaching our goal. After discussion at the last board meeting and a follow up survey with past finalists and nominees, the GSA Committee agreed to leave the event as an awards ceremony at the Fox Theatre as in past years but that a headliner would not be necessary. We will continue to have local Michigan talent perfonn during the ceremony. Commissioner Niester has offered Acheson Ventures' Tall Ship to host a fundraiser!reception for GSA at Mackinac Island during the Detroit Chamber Policy conference. It could be a good way to build a better sponsorship network for GSA. The MCSC staff will work with Ms. Niester on the details. H. Advocacy- Ms. Michael gave an overview of the Michigan Giving & Volunteering Celebration that took place on April 16. Several Representatives and Senators were recognized for their commitment to giving and volunteering. Ms. Michael also shared some of the results from the Snapshot on Giving and Volunteering in Michigan survey. She pointed out that the needle is not moving on the number of people that volunteer. She explained that there is a new movement to promote service called ServiceNation. There will be a ServiceNation Summit in New York in September and it will include the presidential candidates along with approximately 500 key stakeholders in service. The purpose of the summit is to work on a Declaration of Service to commit to working on some of our nation's most critical challenges. The MCSC is on the organizing committee for the summit which will allow Michigan to have a voice in the drafting of the policy statement for the Declaration. I. Financial Report- Kevin Reeves gave an update on the federal budget for national service for FY09. V. Public Comment - Amy Smitter, Michigan Campus Compact, distributed their Compact Magazine and gave an overview of the material in the magazine VI.

Great, great meeting. Thank you for all the work you did to put it together. Couple reminders: 1. Call C.J. and tell him that Tuesday night will not work out, or did you hear from Kari and there will be another presenter? 2. We have our 3p.m. phone call Monday with Donna to find out about the Highlander@Mackinac ... have you had further thoughts about how this would work out? 3. Send our National Guard video to Sandy at CNCS and MENTOR (Paula) ... any others? I think Dan was hoping we could get it on our website too. 4. I wrote down Mentor Michigan Sunday ... but didn't add why. Do you remember? 5. Lori Jewell and the BBBS follow up 6. Meijer - we need to find out if Dan has heard back as to whether Meijer is in; AI Swain suggested calling Peckham (Mitch Tomlison) for the $100 gift cards purchases if Meijer is in. 7. Breannah wanted some of the Mentor Michigan post cards for when she attends the foundation fundraiser. There's something May 17 in Saginaw. 8. email Commissioners about the Signature Service opening when we have more information 9. email the Commissioners copies of statewide program information sheet, as well as their local programming. 10. I have a thank you note for Russ, and pictures that I want to include. 11. Send Tony Campbell the GSA DVD of Randy Walker ... 12. Lots of interest in us creating a corporate focused DVD 13. Retreat stuff-let's discuss at our all staff meeting. Thanks. It looks like a long list, but I think can be easily knocked off. file: //C:\Documents and Settings\harveyj 1\Local Settings\Temp\GW}OOOOl.HTM 04/28/2008 � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

The new requirement was adopted in order ensure that organizations were increasing their support for their programs while decreasing their dependence on federal funds . Chair Emeritus W. K. Kellogg Foundation Susan Meston Muskegon Area Intermediate School District Donna Niester James C. Acheson Foundation Acheson Ventures Bernard Parker Wayne County Commissioner As part of the Corporation for National and Community Service's 2008 appropriations, Congress changed the requirements for matching AmeriCorps grants. For programs fund ed from the Corporation' s 2008 budget, there are no longer separate match requirements for member support and program operating costs. Instead, grantees must meet an overall increasing match requirement, up to 50% by year ten.

At the last executive committee meeting we informed you that we leveraged $369,256 in supplemental formula funds to support 29 additional AmeriCorps member slots . One organization in our portfolio, the Marquette Alger RESA, has declined supplemental fund ing of $11,482 to support one fulltime member. Another of our organizations, the Boys and Girls Club of Benton Harbor, recently notified us that it would be declin ing its 200809 AmeriCorps grant for $131,306 to support 10 full-time members. The Board of Directors and Senior Management decided it needed to move in another direction after the recent resignation of its AmeriCorps program director. We explored the idea of finding another organ ization to serve as the legal applicant for the grant. The legal applicant would be required to operate the original grant that was submitted . The Boys and Girls Club is not interested in this option. We regret that the Benton Harbor community will not have the AmeriCorps resources for the 2008-09 year. However, t here are other organizations in Benton Harbor that may be interested in applying for an AmeriCorps grant for the 2009-10 year. We will actively pursue applications from the Benton Harbor community over the next month. Please contact us if you know of organ izations that we should approach. Accordingly, we now have $142,788 available to support 11 FTE AmeriCorps members. We must submit our revised funding request to the Corporation for National and Community Service by September 5th . Given that time is of the essence, we believe it prudent to distribute the rema ining funds and slots to the following existing formula fu nded programs that can use these resources: The Guidance Center, University of Michigan, Huron Pines, and Habitat for Humanity Michigan. Hope you enjoyed our beautiful Michigan over the Labor Day Holiday! Best regards.

Provide Vision: We provide vision and leadership for the field of volunteering and service. • Support and promote volunteering and service by all people • Position the MCSC as an expert in volunteering , service-learning , and mentoring. • Guide the work of the MCSC programs , partners , and initiatives. • Connect the public, private, and nonprofit sectors. • Recognized programs and volunteers throughout the state. ServiceNation • The MCSC served on the Organizing Committee of ServiceNation , a national campaign aimed at leading the passage of dramatic new service legislation , creating opportunities for Americans to serve at every key life-stage as a strategy for addressing critical challenges in communities . • Governor Granholm was the first Governor to sign on to serve on the Leadership Council of ServiceNation . • The MCSC continuously promotes ServiceNation and encourages organizations across the state to get involved by planning or participating in a Day of Action event, signing the Declaration of Service, or joining the ServiceNation coal ition . • Throughout the country 2,717 Day of Action events were planned for September 27th , and 60 were held in Michigan . • Several Michigan Leaders participated in the ServiceNation Summit in New York City, September 11-12. Among those representing Michigan included State Superintendent Mike Flanagan , Kyle Caldwell , Musette Michael, Breannah Alexander, and AmeriCorps Alum Molly Frendo. • The MCSC provided input and endorsed the national blueprint for service, Strategies for Becoming a Nation of Service. • On September 1ih, Senators Kennedy and Hatch introduced the Serve America Act of 2008. This legislation builds on existing national service and volunteer programs to provide millions of Americans new opportunities to serve -from early childhood through retirement, to tackle our nation's toughest problems. Chairman Mulhern sent letters to Senators Levin and Stabenow urging them to co-sponsorS. 3487. AmeriCorps: • The Corporation for National and Community Service established "AmeriCorps Week" in May, 2007 , and continued the tradition in May, 2008. Governor Granholm issued proclamations declaring the weeks "Michigan's AmeriCorps Week. " Michigan's AmeriCorps programs used the week to spotlight the work of AmeriCo rps 1 �• • • • members, and engaged Michigan's AmeriCorps*State members , National Direct members , VISTA, and AmeriCorps Alums. The week also highlighted partnerships with Senior Corps, Learn and Serve, and other community partners. Each Michigan's AmeriCorps program must take steps to work toward the sustainability of member services. Engaging organizational leaders is a critical step in creating sustainability. MCSC AmeriCorps staff has increased our efforts in communicating with Executive Directors and other leaders of organizations that host Michigan 's AmeriCorps programs. Targeted engagement began with the addition of an Organizational Leaders Meeting at the 2007 Member Celebration in November 2007. Attendees met with MCSC staff to receive updates regarding the funding environment and Michigan's AmeriCorps as a whole , and to network with one another. They also had the opportunity to lunch with MCSC Commissioners and to participate in Celebration activities. This meeting has once again been scheduled for the 2008 Member Celebration , to be held ori November 18, 2008 . Regular email updates have also been sent to the Organizational Leaders group by Musette Michael throughout the last 18 months. Volunteer recruitment is a required element of Michigan 's AmeriCorps programs. Each program has a stated, approved objective in this area . Programs report on their progress in this area either quarterly or semi-annually. MCSC AmeriCorps staff provides feedback to assist in maintaining or improving volunteer recruitment and retention efforts . In addition, in discussions about the upcoming funding cycle , we have explored options for maximizing grant funding through increased volunteer recruitment. The Michigan's AmeriCorps Member of the Month award is an opportunity to highlight the service that a specific member has given to his or her community. Members are nominated by their Program directors; one member is selected and featured each month . This member's accomplishments are published on the MCSC web site. Featured members receive a certificate and a letter of recognition from First Gentleman Daniel Mulhern . Awardees represent a diverse group of individuals who are serving in all areas of the state. AmeriCorps Alums is a national network of civic leaders who are actively engaged in shaping their communities. The organizational mission of AmeriCorps Alums is to connect, support and mobilize AmeriCorps alums in order to strengthen our communities and our nation . Over the past two years, Michigan has established a statewide alums network in addition to regional alums chapters in Detroit, Grand Rapids, Ionia, Marquette, and Muskegon . Current members, alums, and friends of national service are encouraged to get connected at www.lifetimeofservice.org. This past August, alums Chapter Leaders came together to share goals and ideas for the upcoming year. Our goal is to have all Michigan's AmeriCorps members remain engaged and serving communities long after their year of service has ended. Learn and Serve: • The MCSC has participated in the national Learn and Serve Challenge since it's inception in 2007. In 2007 the Governor issued a Certificate of Proclamation and the State Board of Education issued a Resolution in support of service-learning . Local programs participated by doing service-learning displays at their schools and writing information letters to legislators. In 2008 the Governor again issued a Certificate of Proclamation . Learn and Serve K12 and Higher Education grantees were offered 2 �• • • • • mini-grants to draw attention to the service-learning in their districts. Four K12 grantees took advantage of those grants and conducted projects to highlight servicelearning , are creating videos demonstrating the impact of service-learning and speaking to legislators about the value of service-learning in their districts. A complete list of Challenge activities will be available once the end of year reports are submitted. Angelia Salas participated in a national team of service-learnng leaders from across the country who created the first draft of the new K12 Service-Learning Standards for Quality Practice. Since then the standards have been vetted nationally and were officially launched at the National Service-Learning conference in April. MCSC conducted or recruited people to do presentations at various conferences this year. Grantees from Ionia Intermediate School District and Lowell Schools presented at Michigan School Counselors Association , Michigan Alternative Education Organization meetings and the Michigan Joint Education Conference . Jeanine Yard presented at the School Counselors Association meeting and Angelia presented at the National Service Learning Conference. Presented the 2008 Learn and Serve- Michigan Outstanding Service-Learning Awards to a teacher/practitioner, innovative service-learning program , school administrator, and student. In partnersh ip with the Michigan Campus Compact we sponsored the annual Institute on Service-Learning and Civic Engagement. We co-hosted a Service and Leadership Camp with The LEAGUE Michigan . The camp allowed us to keep some youth activity while reconfiguring how the ServiceLearning Youth Council (SLYC) would work. Seven former, current or future grantee schools participated. Students from six of our current sites served on the planning committee and provided significant leadership. This group will be crucial to the success of our SLYC efforts which will kick off in the fall. Mentor Michigan: • Launched recruitment campaigns with the Michigan National Guard , state departments and employees , and the Michigan Municipal League in response to Governor Granholm's 2008 State of the State address pledge to recruit 10,000 more mentors by 2010. • Worked with the legislative staff of DHS to seek a change in the Child Protection Law that would allow mentors and volunteers to obtain clearance from the central registry and share the information with relevant volunteer organizations. HB 5910 passed the House but has not been taken up in the Senate. • Convened mentoring programs in Southeast Michigan to talk about challenges of growing mentoring in the region and ways Mentor Michigan could help. • Created partnership between Ottawa County Court, MSUE, and Jim Dreyer to pilot an Adventures in Mentoring program • Engaged key leaders in an initial conversation about the sustainability of Mentor Michigan . • Conducted Wave V Census in Sept/October 2007. • Developed a more sophisticated and effective Mentor Intake and Tracking System . • Created and disseminated PSAs with Lloyd Carr for mentor recruitment. • Created radio PSAs with James Taylor that will be disseminated during Michigan Mentor Month 2009 . 3 �Communications: • Supported & promoted volunteering and service by continually publishing MCSC & Mentor Michigan e-newsletters for public distribution (those included great stories about MCSC programs) . • MCSC reorganized our website to make it more user friendly. The site is continually updated and expanded with the latest news and information . • Issued 18 press releases for our various events and activities including the Governor Service Awards, the Russ Mawby Signature Service Project, AmeriCorps Week, the male mentor recruitment challenge , and Lloyd Carr's new role with Mentor Michigan . • We have refined our media relations systems including the creation of media contact list serv, updating our media contacts and press release distribution. • Recognized outstanding volunteers and programs at the 2008 Governor Service Awards. • The MCSC became a Presidential Service Award certifying organization in 2007. In October, 2007, we recognized our first Presidential Service Award recipients during a cross-stream forum featuring CNCS CEO David Eisner. One representative from each stream (AmeriCorps , AmeriCorps Alums, Learn and Serve , Senior Corps) was honored. An additional AmeriCorps recipient was honored at the Michigan Rehabilitation Conference in Grand Rapids. • The MCSC together with our partners, the Volunteer Centers of Michigan, Michigan Campus Compact, the LEAGUE , Mentor Michigan , and the Corporation for National and Community Service- Michigan, led the effort to increase MLK Day participation in 2008. Michigan's AmeriCorps , Learn and Serve- Michigan, and AmeriCorps VISTA represented the National Service family in organizing projects , generating volunteers, and taking action . The overall goal of our effort was to increase the number of projects registered on the MLK Day web site. The number of projects registered more than doubled- from 15 to 32. Forty-six (46) organizations posted more than 119 MLK Day service opportunities or general volunteering prospects. • New partnerships have been developed with the state Office of Retirement Services, the Michigan Association of United Ways , and the 2008 State Employees Charitable Campaign. These partnerships are exploring innovative ways to reach state employees and retirees with information on volunteering , particularly mentoring opportunities. As a result of initial conversations MCSC staff was asked to present at "Give What You Live" , August 14, 2008, in Lansing . This meeting for 120 state employees provided them with the information they required to take the lead in their respective organizations as coordinators for the State Employees Charitable Campaign . The presentation included thanking the employees for their gift of timevolunteering as leaders in this campaign and sharing ways to connect with organizations to volunteer or offer service. Campaign Chair and Department of Information Technology Director, Ken Theis, later distributed a mass email to state employees urging them to use their community service leave hours to volunteer/mentor. This provides state employees with an option in case they are unable to contribute money. • We have worked to strengthen communication with the Michigan Congressional Delegation with visits in August, 2007 to district offices of Representatives Cheeks Kilpatrick, McCotter, Ehlers , and Kildee . 4 �• • The MCSC has participated in Voices fo r National Service Hill Day Visits in 2007 and 2008 and met with the Michigan Congressional and Senate members in their Washington DC offices. These visits included Commissioners , AmeriCorps program directors, and Learn and Serve program representatives . The MCSC has sent 9 letters from Chairman Mulhern to the Congressional delegation requested their support for appropriations for national service and mentoring, to support or co-sponsor the GIVE Act and the Mentoring for All Act, and to co-sponsor the Serve America Act. Provide Resources: We secure and deliver resources to expand programming and excellence in volunteering and service . • Secure and expand diversified funding for AmeriCorps, Learn and Serve, Mentor Michigan, and other volunteer initiative~. • Develop and share resources with our programs and in the field of volunteering . • Select, train , and monitor grantees. • Promote quality program standards and help programs reach them. • Develop and support advisory boards and networks in our program areas . AmeriCorps: • We secured $317 ,033 in 2007-08 and $369,256 in 2008-09 in supplemental Michigan's AmeriCorps formula funds . This funding supported an additional twentyseven (07 -08) and twenty-nine (08-09) FTE members. The 2008-09 supplemental funding includes 20 full-time members for the new AmeriCorps program , Michigan Campaign to End Homelessness AmeriCorps. • We launched an open competitive grant process for new AmeriCorps programs that included 4 outreach sessions (Lansing , Detroit, Kalamazoo , and a webinar) with 57 organizations registered . As a result of ou r outreach efforts we received 25 "Intents to Apply," 3 of which would serve the Benton Harbor area. We received 17 completed proposals on October 15, 2008 . A peer review will be held on October 28 , followed by a staff review on October 30, 2008 . Proposals which pass the two reviews will then be expanded into full applications and submitted to CNCS for competitive consideration , upon approval of the MCSC Board. Funding decisions are expected in May, 2009. • For many years, the Corporation for National and Community Service (CNCS) has mandated reporting utilizing an online system called WBRS. This system is being phased out and the CNCS will no longer subsidize a reporting system . They do, however, expect states to continue to collect information that will then be reported to the CNCS. As a result , the MCSC secured and integrated a new web based program management system , OnCorps. OnCorps provides MCSC AmeriCorps staff and Program Directors a comprehensive tool for data collection , calendar updates, and ongoing communication between staff and members. • Two and a half years ago, a workgroup of MCSC AmeriCorps staff and program directors created the Michigan's AmeriCorps Program Standards. These standards provide a systematic way to ensure high-quality, comprehensive program management. The original format for collecting standards documentation from 5 �• • • • • programs was multiple three-ring binders containing printed checklists and documentation. Feedback indicated that this was not the most efficient method to collect this documentation , as it did not provide for convenient updates, nor did it yield a product that could be used for more than one purpose . As a result, USB flash drives were purchased for each program. The drives were formatted to contain a hierarchical structure for storage of documentation , along with a hyperlinked checklist for easy access to each document. The flash drives can now be easily provided to MCSC Program Officers for assessment purposes. More importantly, the flash drives can be utilized as a continuous management tool by each grantee, especially during times of staff transition and between program years. Each year MCSC AmeriCorps staff provides a wide range of training opportunities for both program directors and members. All program directors are required to participate in a training conference call or meeting each month. Meeting topics are generated from a training and technical assistance survey administered each year, as well as program officer observation and assessment. Recent topics have included OnCorps training , compliance issues, and member background checks. In addition , the annual 2% day Program Director's retreat was held in July, 2008. The focus of the 2008 retreat was host site management. Consultant Amy Thompson was contracted to provide the tra ining. Scholarships are also made available to both program directors and Member Council representatives in order to attend the Michigan Nonprofit SuperConference in May of each year, where a variety of professional development sessions are available. Training opportunities for members are plentiful. In addition to the SuperConference offerings, leadership trainings and other professional development opportunities are made available to Member Council representatives. A wide variety of workshops are available to all participating members at the Member Celebration each fall. Topics in November, 2007 , included writing great stories, FISH philosophy, grant-writing , and understanding individuals from generational poverty. Disaster preparedness sessions have also been made available to all members and program directors, in January and February of 2007. Since 1999, the Member Council has been bringing members together from programs throughout the state. The Michigan's AmeriCorps Member Council provides a statewide network in which Michigan's AmeriCorps Members share ideas, experiences , and a spirit of service while taking a leadership position in their AmeriCorps program . Each Council representative plays a significant role in making AmeriCorps a household name by giving at least two AmeriCorps outreach presentations and organizing at least one local service project. Representatives also assist in the development of a Michigan's AmeriCorps Member Newsletter and serve as liaisons between AmeriCorps members and the MCSC. In addition, representatives have the chance to network with each other, build a forum for Corps member exchange, and develop relationships with other programs throughout the state. The MCSC's Statewide Inclusion Team was created to promote and support full participation of people with disabilities in all aspects of national service. This is accomplished through collaboration between individuals with disabilities, disability advocacy and service organizations, and Michigan's national service programs. The inclusion team met bi-monthly and developed a strategic plan with the following goals: 6 �• • • • Promote Michigan 's national service programs as an opportunity and a bridge to skillbuilding , career development, and community integration . Develop ongoing state and local level relationsh ips between stakeholders in the disabil ity and service communities that promote the involvement of people with disabilities in National Service programs. Identify and address local , state and federal policies and practices that present barriers to inclusion and integration in National Service programs. MCSC AmeriCorps staff adheres to a comprehensive program monitoring plan . Formal site visits and/or desk audits are performed in the spring of each year, based on a risk assessment and the prior year's visit. In the spring of 2007, AmeriCorps Program Officers performed fourteen full site visits , two reduced site visits, and five desk aud its. In sprin g, 2008 , we performed fifteen full site visits , and four desk audits . After each type of visit, the grantee receives a compliance letter that outlines any issues found in member files , program documentation , etc. When compliance issues are found, grantees must supply the appropriate information before the site visit file is closed out. Full and reduced site visits also receive follow-up feedback, both in verbal form at the close of the actual visit, and in written form within a month of the visit. Informal monitoring also occurs throughout the year, through the review of quarterly or semi-annual grantee progress reports , dialog at prog ra m director meetings, and one-on-one commun ication between the prog ram officers and the program directors in the ir respective portfolios. Learn and Serve: • Over this 18 month period grantees were offered several professional development opportunities. In October 2007 , the MCSC hosted the annual grantee meeting. The two day event included workshops on program sustainability as it relates to program evaluation and curriculum integration . Grantees also participated in a reactor panel for the national Standards for High Quality Service-Learning . Ionia County Intermediate School District staff also unveiled The Box- a service-learning professional development kit. The MCSC contracted with Ionia ISO to create th is resource that contains nine complete tra ining modules that relate to the ServiceLearning Standards. Each of our grantees will be trained as a trainer in each of the nine modules. Over the course of the year, Ionia ISO has hosted several additional train the trainer events. • In February 2008 Michigan Campus Compact and the MCSC hosted the annual Institute on Service-Learning and Civic Engagement in Mt. Pleasant, Michigan. Due to inclement weather, the formal Institute was cancelled but was replaced by a modified conference designed to accommodate the 100 of the 400 participants expected. While the agenda changed and the numbers in attendance were low the result was a conference event that met the needs of the participants in attendance. Event evaluations were outstanding. • We contracted with Ionia ISO to offer a four day institute on the Michigan Merit Curriculum and Service-Learning . The institute provided extensive opportunity to examine the current high school curriculum standards and determine where servicelearning could provide a relevant extension . • Grantees and alumni schools have received basic training on the new national service-learning standards. The final standards were released in the spring 2008 . More in-depth training on how to meet the standards will be provided this year. 7 �• • • • David Reschke, Deputy Superintendent from Clarkston Community Schools and Dr. Elizabeth Barton from Wayne State University attended Hill Day which is sponsored by Voices for National Service. Along with commissioners Alexander and Campbell the delegation visited Representatives Ehler, Dingell , Levin , Kildee, McCotter, and Senators Stabenaw and Levin . The delegation made a compelling case for servicelearning and Reschke and Barton are now willing to champion service-learning for us in the future . Ella Kate Wagner, a SLYC member was recently selected to serve on the National Youth Leadership Council Youth Advisory Board . She is also an active member on the CNCS Youth Speakers Bureau . Both will help us draw attention to servicelearning in Michigan. Michigan Campus Compact helped secure $7500 in private funding from ServiceLearning United to support K12 and Higher Education Learn and Serve Challenge activities and Hill Day. The funding allowed us to send two exceptional servicelearning practitioners to the Voices for National Service event. In addition , we were able to provide ten mini-grants to Learn and Serve- Michigan K12 and Higher Education grantees who coordinated educational outreach for Learn and Serve Challenge. We secured $30 ,000 in special Learn and Serve funding to support social media efforts within Learn and Serve and the other MCSC programs. Learn and Serve grantees have been provided social media training , a social networking site for networking and collaboration , and two $5000 mini-grants to assist programs in developing their own social media strategies in support of service-learning. Over the next quarter we will hire a part time social media intern and will determine which other social media tools can help the MCSC spread the epidemic of service . Mentor Michigan: • Over the past 18 months , we've raised $594,778 to support Mentor Michigan activities. $360 ,000- W.K. Kellogg Foundation $100 ,000- John Hancock $ 34 ,786 - Meijer Gift Card Promotion $ 55 ,378- Mighty Mac Swim $ 29 ,614- Governor Jennifer Granholm and First Gentleman Dan Mulhern $ 10,000- The Chrysler Foundation $ 5,000- State Farm • Over the past two years we have leveraged selected , trained and supported the Mentor Michigan VISTA sites • Secured a two-year grant from the W. K. Kellogg Foundation to address the shortage of male mentors in Michigan . Six sites have been selected to pilot key strategies to recruit more male mentors. The sites received up to $20 ,000 over the two-year period to implement their strategies . Key lessons learned will be shared with the mentoring field . • Conducted the male mentor recruitment challenge in 2007 and 2008. In 2007 , the challenge garnered 300 more male mentors. The 2008 Challenge will conclude at the end of October. Results will be shared at that point. 8 �• • • • • • Provided Michigan Mentoring Month mini-grants to mentoring programs to host mentor recognition and recruitment events. We submitted a three year grant requesting $500 ,000 a year to the Office of Juvenile Justice Deliquency Prevention to expand mentoring in the Detroit area to address the high school dropout crisis. Notification of funding should occur by the end of October. Held the annual statewide mentoring conference in October 2007. The 2008 conference will be held November 1yth at the Kellogg Center in East Lansing . Held a two-day sustainability training for mentoring programs in May 2007 . The training was conducted by LEARNS and the National Mentoring Center and covered grant writing , working with board members , fundraising , resource development, and corporate funding. Contracted with MSUE to provide training and technical assistance to mentoring programs across the state. This will include one-on-one technical assistance visits, regional trainings on issues related to address the mentoring standards, and planning the statewide mentoring conference. Michigan is one of the first states to launch MentorPRO, an amazing online tool that helps programs , not only save time and money, but also improve the effectiveness of their programs. MentorPRO is an online data tracking and analysis system designed for mentoring programs to better manage their Programs , manage mentoring Relationships and evaluate Outcomes. MentorPRO provides mentoring programs with standardized measures and a common system for collecting , tracking and analyzing data. Nineteen mentoring programs have been approved to use MentorPRO.

The symposium provided an opportunity for Michigan's AmeriCorps and Learn and Serve teams to engage in thought-provoking dialogue and strategic planning around the critical issue of sustainability. Teams learned the latest prom ising practices, heard from national leaders in the field , and worked together to develop steps for their organization to build capacity and increase community support. • The MCSC hosted a Town Hall Meeting with David Eisner October 25 , 2007 in Grand Rapids. National service program staff from across the state came together for a stimulating dialogue about issues of interest to the vo lunteering and service field . David Eisner discussed progress toward Corporation initiatives and provided an update on the state of volunteering and service in the U.S. Participants also had an opportunity to share their thoughts , ideas, questions, and concerns. • Team Up Michigan ! Setting the Pace for National Service took place October 2-3 , 2008 , in Big Rapids . Over 200 national service program staff from AmeriCorps , Learn and Serve, and Senior Corps came together for two motivational days of networking , training , and collaboration. Team Up Michigan ! provided an opportunity for participants to exchange ideas, establish new partnersh ips , attend valuable workshops, and hear from dynamic keynote speakers . AmeriCorps: • Michigan's AmeriCorps consists not only of teams of members , but also of a developed "team " of Program Directors. These individuals regularly work together to share best practices, brainstorm issues, and facilitate programming . A stellar example of this type of collaboration is the partnership created by the directors of the Detroit-area programs . These individuals have created a workgroup that meets on a regular basis , and has been very active in planning events for AmeriCorps Week in both 2007 and 2008 and for MLK Day. • In addition , we have made cross-stream collaboration a required element for programs applying for mini-grant funding for events such as AmeriCorps Week. • The 2006-07 program year concluded with the following accomplishments . • 1,011 members enrolled and served in 21 Michigan's AmeriCorps Programs • Members served 702 ,938 hours • More than $1 .6 Million earned in education awards • Members engaged 2,592 k-12 students in service learning events • 1,681 children benefited from on-going mentoring relationsh ips • 5,360 students received tutoring services or homework help • 2,249 students received guidance relating to school success/achievement • 16,557 students received in-class and/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 o 23 ,827 non-AmeriCorps volunteers recru ited , placed , and/or supported by AmeriCorps members , each donating an average of nearly 8 hours of service-for a total of 188,937 hours! 10 �o • • • 18,949 individuals received Disaster Relief Services and/or Disaster Education o 87 low-income housing units were built for 374 ind ividuals. o 2,129 individuals received access to health care, diagnosis, and/or followup; and/or were screened for needed care.

At the close of 2007, 1,681 children were part of mentoring relationships due to the work of AmeriCorps members. The 4-H Mentor Michigan Initiative has engaged in targeted mentoring activities with children in foster care . During the 2007-08 program year, six 4-H Mentor Michigan members had a specific focus on working with this population . Three members served four northern counties (Alpena , Wexford , Crawford, and Grand Traverse) , two members served at Bethany Christian Services in Grand Rapids, and one served at the Midland/Isabella County Michigan Youth Opportunities Initiative Program. In the latter program , mentees served were foster care youth who were preparing to age out of the foster care system and who were serving on a youth board. The AmeriCorps member matched approximately fifteen of these youth with adult mentors. The member also worked to provide the mentor/mentee matches with specific activities that fit with their interests. Clinton County Extension is now starting a new program this year focused solely on children in foster care. More than 250 current Michigan's AmeriCorps members from across the state focused on rejuvenating Benton Harbor's community.

What kind ofwork plan do you want to have if it's not laid out this way? o Marcy - To me the calendar does that, why do we need a big Blueprint and a littl e Blueprint? o Amber- Musette is pleased with the document I do for DHS and the detail in there. o Mary - Is that somethi ng we could all model? Would you even recommend that? o Amber- I wouldn't recommend that. And I don ' t feel like the Blueprint is helpful. o Michelle - Paula made us do a work plan. o Marcy - I'm very calendar-based. Our PD calendar for the year, that ' s what I work off of o Amber - we spend all this time on retreats and mapping things out in calendar layout and that's what ' s helped us. o Jeanine - we 've been doing this for a long time, we use those retreats to look back and see if we did what we said we'd do. It's not like every month we're looking back and measuring. Now it's on a microscopic level. The bigger accomplishments are determined during summer meeting. o Mary - what do we want to do? It seems to me that's it the phase two of the blueprint we want to get rid of and transition to timeline-based work plans. o Tara- does board sti ll need one-page blueprint? o Janice - yes, we've gotten good feedback on the Blueprint one-pager and on the other one-page updates we do . o Megan - one-pagers after big events have been really helpful o Mary - I'm in the process of creating spot on the S drive so all of them are in once pace .. Musette uses those one-pagers and other good stories all the time. o Janice - commissioners like those also. o Tara - that in itself is a good update on the things we do on a yearly basis o Amber - Musette is getting more comfotiable with our work plan method. Maybe we could go back to doing that since everyone used them . I think the initial Blueprint strategy (the full version) helped her get to know our work. o Mary - we need something consistent from program area to program area. o Mary - we need quarterly updates, still need work plan you all are working from , either on a program-basis or individual-basis (need to determine which format would be preferred) o Mary -I don ' t know if it wi ll be okay or not for each individual's plan to be different. I think we want them to have a similar look and feel. What do we as staff want to present to the Commissioners at their r·etreat? �What do we want to do as a staff in preparation for the retreat? o Mary - do we want to update/edit the blueprint ourselves, what would you like to see the commissioners do? Overarching conversations. o Megan- it would be helpful to know from Musette what she teamed from her individual meetings with board members. What are questions they have and what would they like to see and do? o Jeanine- I'd like to leam their skills and strengths, provides us with info that we could build on what we want to do o Mary- do we want to redraft the blueprint? Paula was not a part of it, maybe we need to do certain things to the one-pager o Janice - it would be good for us to have it in a draft form, then w(re kind of guiding the conversation we need them to have, if we don ' t provide that direction they might lead us in directions we don't want to go o Jeanine- yes, we need to update the one-page blueprint. It keeps us on the same path even if it's just a short exercise to look at our goals o Amber- just for MM, I'd like them to discuss the longevity and future of MM, are they even ready to start that conversation? o Janice- We also need to have the conversation about preparing for a new administration o Mary -whether it's Republican or Democratic. o Jeanine - last year we ended up talking a lot about state priorities and where MCSC fit in, we need to do something that connects board to national priorities, they tend to be localized and most of our money comes from national level, if they want to focus on state level then we need to talk seriously about where we ' re going to get money to support state issues o Mary - previous national speakers we've had at retreats haven ' t worked in stimulating discussion, we don't just need a speaker to come in and tell us what they do. o Megan- I think it's good for them to hear from our grantees, program staff and participants o Mary - we used to have a plan for one of our programs to speak at each board meeting to represent grantees o Jeanine- we have tried for general board meetings to have them at large events and I think those are good b/c they see numbers and quantity but they still don't get it! We hold in the future a board meeting at an actual program site so they can see programs/grantees in action o Tara - what thoughts have senior staff had about the retreat? o Mary -fund development, communication plans, program areas, work groups o Janice- we could have a work group on the second day after first day of going over program/staff materials o Mary- We ' re planning early which is good! o Jeanine- sustainability is important, our fommla funding just got cut again! Commissioners see us pumping out all this stuff and then they don't understand the huge concern when we lose funding. �o o o o o o o o o o o o o Marcy - Yes, we still will have great numbers next year because our programs are maturing but we're not bringing in new programs and helping the new communities that really need it Jeanine- as always, we need to plan something fun for the commissioners at the retreat, they do enjoy that and some getting to know you time, the thread we ' ve been concentrating on is the thread of the soul, there's importance to taking care ofthemselves so they can serve us better!! Amber- any plans for a staff retreat? Megan- people feel really stretched right now, I think there's been some confusion with Garry being gone, we just need to have something that puts us all on the same page. Jeanine- I think we need a retreat to do it, we're as focused during staff meetings, we need to cut free from the office Megan- it needs to be retreat where we don't create new committees and add more things to our plate Amber- it would be a good time for us to hear from Musette on how things are going and her thoughts for the future Janice - timeframe? July, August? Kat - after GSA. One day, off site is the general consensus The Leven Center? Mary's done retreats there (outside of Portland) Dates in August that are already booked, send them to Janice to determine when the best time to do it is Perhaps before 15th? � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

It was recommended that the retreat be scheduled in conjunction with the High School Drop Out Summit taking p lace on October 20th in Lansing. With the Commissioners requesting that some the MCSC program goals focu s on drop out prevention, this would be a great opportunity for Commissioners to attend the Summit and then continue the discussion during the MCSC Board Retreat.

Learn and Serve - Michigan School-based Grants Paula VanDam gave background on the staff recommendations (see attached memo from Ms. VanDam dated June 27, 2008.) She explained that the MCSC offers three categories of program funding for the Learn and Serve-Michigan School-based grants - planning, implementation, and institutionalization. The MCSC issued renewal guidelines for the 2008-09 program year and received �applications from 17 of the 18 eligible applicants. Detroit Renaissance High School requested an extension of it's planning grant due to delays caused by staff turnover. A one-year extension was granted . After MCSC review, staff recommends all 17 for funding. There was discussion around how to get Detroit Public Schools involved with service-learning. Commissioner Parker agreed to have a conversation with his contacts in the district to share information about service-learning. Sue Carnell is also on the DPS staff and would be good to pull into the conversations. Angelia Salas is developing a service-learning tool for addressing the high school dropout issue. She is working with Skillman Foundation and its Great Schools Initiative. Chairman Mulhern asked for a motion to support the staff recommendations for the Learn and ServeMichigan School-Based new planning grants and renewal funding for implementation and institutionalization grants. Commissioner Mawby moved to support the motion and Commissioner Niester seconded the motion. The motion passed unanimously. Michigan 's AmeriCorps Formula Funding Ms. VanDam explained that the MCSC received $2,630,074 for AmeriCorps formula funding. This was a reduction of $152,394 from last year. All 14 of the currently funded formula programs are eligible for renewal funding. Thirteen programs submitted proposals requesting more than $2.9 million. The Michigan Department of Agriculture decided not to reapply. Two programs, Michigan Primary Care Association and Habitat for Humanity, had difficulty filling their member slots this year. Therefore, staff is recommending a level equal to the number of slots that they were able to fill during this current year. The remaining programs were reduced an average of 5% of MSYs based on their FY07 allocation. The allocation cut due to reduced funds was as equitable as possible. The MCSC staff recommends renewal funding for the following applicants: B-H-K Child Development Board ($391,611 ), Boys & Girls Club of Benton Harbor ($131,306), Camp Fire USA West Michigan Council ($136, 174), Char-Em lSD ($113,500), Communities in Schools - Detroit ($313, 125), Good Samaritan Ministries ($131 ,050), The Guidance Center ($217 ,227), Habitat for Humanity Michigan ($234,508), Huron Pines AmeriCorps ($130,901), Marquette Alger RESA ($149,268), Michigan Primary Care Association ($175,981), University of Michigan ($324,758), and Volunteer Muskegon! ($179,875). Chairman Mulhern asked for a motion to support the staff recommendations for AmeriCorps formula funding. Commissioner Parker moved to support the motion and Commissioner Mawby seconded the motion. The motion passed unanimously. Chairman Mulhern suggested that the MCSC share the positive measurables from the programs with the media. He suggested an "AmeriCorner" once a month in daily newspapers . Commissioner Mawby also recommended that the value of AmeriCorps members and the impact on their lives and communities needs to be shared with elected officials.

Cable Eileen Wilson-Oyelaran l<l='lf'frn~7nn r.nll,:.n,:,. Michigan's AmeriCorps Formula Funding Paula VanDam explained that the MCSC was able to request additional fom1ula funds from CNCS. The MCSC received our full request of29 MSYs and $369,256. These additional funds will allow us to fund the programs at the 2007-08 funding level and will make up for the cut they received in June due to lower formula funding. There were two programs that staff recommended not receive additional funding due to the programs not being able to fill their slots last year and also having some retentio n issues. The programs will address these issues this year and we hope to get them back �•.-. to their original numbers. The additional funds will allow us to fund a new AmeriCorps program with 20 members that will focus on the elimination of homelessness. The program is aware that the funding is for one year due to the supplemental funding and they will need to re-compete funding next year. The new program is the Corporation for Supportive Housing. It is a partner with the Michigan State Housing Development Authority (MSHDA) and its Campaign to End Homelessness. Commissioners Niester and Collier have both heard of the organization and had positive comments about them. MCSC Staff requested flexibility to the funding recommendations to allow them to redistribute the MSYs if the programs cannot fill them. The MCSC staff is recommending additional funding for B-H-K Child Development Board, Camp Fire USA West Michigan Council, Communities in Schools- Detroit, The Guidance Center, Marquette Alger RESA, University of Michigan, Volunteer Muskegon, and new funding for Corporation for Supportive Housing (see memo from Paula VanDam dated August 14, 2008 with funding chart) for a total of248 MSYs and $2,999,330 funding. Chairman Mulhern asked for a motion to support the staff recommendations for AmeriCorps Supplemental Formula Funding. Commissioner Collier moved to support the motion and Commissioner Niester seconded the motion. The motion passed unanimously. Chairman Mulhern asked to receive information on the ratio of AmeriCorps members compared to other states. Commissioners Mawby and Collier suggested that Julie Fisher Cummings (newly appointed to the CNCS board) be kept updated on activities in Michigan by providing her with a one page summary outlining not only successes in Michigan but also what some of our challenges are. Dan would like to meet with Julie when he is in New York in September. Commissioner Collier will help schedule meeting. Julie is also invited to the AmeriCorps Member Celebration in Lansing to swear in new members, and to attend the MCSC board meeting. Reappointment ofMembers There was discussion around the reappointment of Commissioners whose terms expire in October. Dan will write them to find out their interest in serving another term, after which Musette will follow up via phone call. We will hold off reappointment decision until after the October Commissioner Retreat. MCSC Board Retreat Commissioners would like the first day to focus on the history of the MCSC, the mission of the MCSC, and future of the MCSC. During the transition discussion, it will be helpful for Commissioners to share their experience going through a transition either at their workplace, other boards or commissions, etc. Commissioners also were in favor of having an organized activity to get to know other Commissioners.

FLANAGA N SUPE R IN T ENDENT OF PUBLI C IN STRU CTI ON JENNIFER M . GRANHOLM G OVERN O R Dear Friends in Service: As Superintendent of Public Instruction for the State of Michigan, I am honored to acknowledge and endorse the "Learn and Serve Challenge" program. Service-learning has a positive impact on a student's academic achievement, personal and social development, and civic engagement. It provides numerous opportunities for students to apply what they are learning to solve real world community problems. By performing community service, students not only learn about democracy and citizenship, they become actively contributing citizens and community members through the service they perform. Students can, and do, play important roles in their communities and that community spirit continues to hold tremendous promise for the future. The Michigan Department of Education applauds the "Learn and Serve Challenge" for instilling in our youth the importance of leadership and service to others.

These funds were raised during the Meijer Gift Card Promotion held June 8-11 , 2008. Meijer donated $2 to Mentor Michigan for every $25 or more Meijer gift card that was purchased. Grants from $100-$500 are available and can be used to support mentor recruitment, retention, or recognition events or mentor and mentee match activities. All mentoring organizations registered with Mentor Michigan that complete the Wave VI Census are eligible to apply. Applications are due by Friday, October 24, 2008. Recruitment Efforts We continue to implement several recruitment campaigns in order to reach 10,000 more mentors by 2010. Lloyd Carr We are excited to launch a major mentor recruitment campaign featuring Lloyd Carr, the University of Michigan's former head football coach and current associate athletic director. Lloyd recently filmed PSAs for Mentor Michigan. Currently the PSAs are being played on Fox Sports Network Detroit during Hammer Time. They are also being distributed to our partner organizations to share with their media partners. In January (Michigan Mentoring Month) there will be another statewide Lloyd Carr promotion. Michigan Municipal League On October 3 Mentor Michigan launched a recruitment campaign with the Michigan Municipal League. This campaign aims to recruit local elected officials to become mentors and promote mentoring within their communities. First Gentleman Dan Mulhern, Lloyd Carr, and the mayors from Grand Rapids and Adrian presented at MML's annual conference to kick off the recruitment campaign. We received 32 pledge cards from local elected officials that are interested in getting involved in mentoring in their communities. Mayor Jan Gensel from Flushing has already started recruiting in her community. Reta Stanley from Big Brothers Big Sisters of Greater Flint will be speaking at the Flushing Rotary on October 16 to talk about the need for mentors and the impact of mentoring. Men in Mentoring Recruitment Challenge Twenty programs across the state are participating in a recruitment challenge to recruit more male mentors. The contest runs from August 1 to October 31. Programs are eligible for $2,000 prizes in five different categories. We will report the overall accomplishments of the challenge at the November board meeting. �National Guard Recruitment Campaign Mentor Michigan and the National Guard held a major recruitment effort at the Michigan Army and Air National Guard Family Support Conference in Traverse City . Approximately 200 members attended including General Cutler. Lieutenant Colonel (LTC) Shawn Harris, Recruiting and Retention Commander with the Michigan Army National Guard, is the designated liaison with Mentor Michigan. LTC Harris is working with the Capital Area Big Brothers Big Sisters to establish a Lunch Buddies program at Gardner Middle School in Lansing. His goal is to recruit 25 National Guard members to have lunch with a Little once a week. Amber Reiss, Musette Michael, and Kent Co unty Mentoring Co llaborative Chair Janelle Hill with LTC Harris. State Employees Recruitment Campaign Mentor Michigan has created partnerships with each state department to recruit more state employees as mentors. The departments have identified liaisons to work with Mentor Michigan and they all met on June 25 to kick off the recruitment campaign. Mentor Michigan will be providing the liaisons with information on mentoring and recruitment materials for them to share with employees in their department. AmeriCorps*VISTA Our two Mentor Michigan VISTAs, Katie Clark and Joan Johnson completed their terms of service this summer. Mentor Michigan has recruited an AmeriCorps*VISTA member, Jamie Bender, to implement the MentorPRO initiative, i.e. providing program services and support. The VISTA member will focus on increasing the quality of youth mentoring programs through effectively implementing MentorPRO. MentorPRO is a web-based evaluation and tracking tool, designed to help mentoring programs track and access data to better manage their programs, manage mentoring relationships and evaluate outcomes. This VISTA begins her service on November 18. The MCSC submitted a concept paper to the Corporation for National and Community Service to host AmeriCorps*VISTA members. Two members would support Mentor Michigan (in addition to the MentorPRO member). We are currently seeking a Special Initiatives VISTA to focus on three populations: children in foster care and those aging out of foster care, children of incarcerated parents, and male mentors. 5K Run for Mento ring Matches Mentor Michigan has partnered with the Governor's Council on Physical Fitness, Health and Sports/Michigan Fitness Foundation to offer mentor teams the opportunity to participate in the 5K Fun Run that is a part of the Detroit Free Press/Flagstar Marathon events. Teams will arrive in Detroit on October 18 to tour Comerica Park, have dinner at the Detroit Athletic Club, and spend the night at the Renaissance Center. Teams will run the 5K on October 19. �Mentor Michigan Census Wave VI _ _ _ _ _,_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ Wave VI of the Mentor Michigan Census concluded on October 14.

Handouts were distributed and discussed showing the growth of men to ring in Michi gan bas ed on Mentor Michigan Census Waves I-V data, and a chart showin g 2004-200 8 fundin g sources a nd amounts. A handout listing some of next year' s plans for continuin g the growth of Mentor Michigan was also distributed. Handouts identifyin g structural sustainability option s for Mentor Michigan were distributed and discussed along with the research MENTOR conducted on the success of the various structural options . Several themes emerged from the group's discussion: l. Mentor Michigan needs to calculate its operating costs based on the variou s structural options . 2. Research on the impact and effectiveness of mentoring needs to be conducted to establish the cost-benefits (see Western Michigan Evaluation Center, MSU Evalu ati on Office). 3. Governance of Mentor Michigan should be made up of bi-parti san leaders, members of the field, and MCSC. 4. Mentor Michigan's core operations should focu s on resources, settin g standards, recruitment, training, and advocacy awareness. 5. The Leadership Council should be reactivated and staffed to assist with fund development and transition issues. 6. Creating an endowment would be useful , but difficult to achieve at this time. 7. Professionalizing the "mentoring industry" is important. 8. At the conclusion of the meeting, we collectively agreed that Mentor Michiga n mu st continue and our hope is to remain connected to the Michigan Community Service Commission but with some autonomy. Next Steps : • Discuss transition and sustainability options with the MCSC Executive Committee. Incorporate that feedback into a proposal. • Discuss transition and sustainability options with the MCSC Board. • Explore legal options for organizational structure. • Create a Mentor Michigan sustainability taskforce. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Do we need a champion for Mentor Michigan sepa rate from the MCSC? (Dan's current dual role) Does Lloyd Ca rr ha ve a champion (formal) role? [s Mentor Michigan roll ed into the MCSC trans iti on planning? Do we reactivate the corporate side ofProvider Co uncil ? Should Mentor Michi gan have 50 l(c)(3) status? Could the elected state Board of Educati on take Mentor Michi gan on as an initi ative? Could MDE and DHS form a co llaborat ive in terl ocal agreement? We need to take stock on what is left to be done and what we have accomp li shed. How do we maintain our focu on quality/longtem1 matches? What other organization/corp wou ld be intere ted in supporting us as a 50l(c)(3)? How do we obtain state and federal appropriation ? How do we fo ld our stats into our sto ri es of success? We need to develop a business case linked to studi e on co t benefit (i. e. education and corrections data, substance ab use data). Exhaust the use of national data . Cost benefit analysis of keeping Mentor Michigan with th e Commi ss ion. Include political/sponsor factors . Find the money prior to getting a 50l(c)(3) established. (50I(c)(3) are hard to susta in in this economic environment.) What' the back-up position if our Plan A falls apa rt? Task Force?
