There are currently 230 people registered and sessions will take place in Sault Ste. Marie, Houghton, Grand Rapids, Muskegon, Lansing, Detroit, Benton Harbor, Saginaw, Flint, and Cadillac. The MCSC is excited to engage local people in a dialogue about what it will take to increase volunteerism. Commissioners are encouraged to attend and to invite others to attend. The format of the agenda will include an introduction of the MCSC and the unique opportunities we have around service and then participants will patiicipate in group discussions around some facilitated questions. B. CNCS/National Service Update I. Serve America Act/Volunteer Generation Fund- Ms. VanDam explained that there is new funding available (VGF) to state service commissions. There is $4 million available for this first year and is focused on increasing, expanding and enhancing the volunteer infrastruchtre within our state. The MCSC is submitting an application (due May 18) and will include some of the data from the upcoming listening tour sessions and data provided by MNA on nonprofit capacity and volunteer engagement. There is a 20% match requirement the first year. We can implement these funds directly at the state commission grant or subgrant funds to carry out the work. The MCSC may do a combination of both and much of the match could be made through the sub-grant piece of the award. 2. Meeting with Patrick Corvington- Ms. VanDam shared that she, along with a few other state commission directors, met with Patrick Corvington to brief him on state commissions. He also shared his vision for CNCS which will be focused on positioning service as a solution to solve some of our national and state issues. 3. Cities of Service - Ms. VanDam announced that there is a second round of grants for 10 additional cities and she is working with Grand Rapids and Flint to apply 2 �for the leadership grant. We are hopeful that a second Michigan city will be selected. The four Cities of Service are partnering with the MCSC on the listening tour and will have a designee at each session.

Program Update - Amber Troupe explained that Mentor Michigan, in pa1inership with the Michigan Nonprofit Association (MNA) and Michigan Campus Compact (MCC), has applied for a new AmeriCorps program. In the past mentoring organizations have relied on the resource of AmeriCorps members to increase the capacity of their organizations and serve more youth in mentoring relationships. MSU Extension has been lead applicant that placed members in mentoring organizations. They are at the end of their 3-year cycle and have decided not to reapply. We have partnered with MNA and MCC for a new program that will be placing 60 members in mentoring organizations across the state. The link between Mentor Michigan and MCC is around the idea of college positive volunteerism and wanting to get our mentoring programs to provide infom1ation and resources to mentoring matches so that youth are thinking about college as a next step. She also shared that Mentor Michigan has applied for another OJJDP grant in partnership with Winning Futures in the Detroit area to expand their school-based program to offer evening and summer activities at an alternative high school that focuses on career planning and job readiness. The grant is approximately $500,000 over three years. We should hear about funding in September.

Mentor Michigan Sh·ategic Plan - Amber Troupe and Commissioner Tony Campbell, Chair of the Mentor Michigan Strategic Planning Committee, gave an update on the strategic plan. Ms. Troupe shared that we engaged Kahle Research Solutions to assist in facilitating the strategic plan. Commissioner Campbell discussed the unmet need and the goals and objectives. The unmet need is great throughout the state but the biggest geographic area ofunmet need is the Detroit area. We need to develop regional strategies as population and needs are diverse. This will also give regional funders a reason to invest in mentoring in their local communities. Mr. Campbell shared the five goals and objectives within the goals: • Promote awareness- not just nice, but necessary; o Generate research and knowledge on the Return on Investment of mentoring o Highlight mentoring success stories 3 �o • • • • Identify, encourage, and measure implementation of evidence-based practices Address underserved populations and communities to increase the number and quality of mentoring relationships; o Support and encourage programs to target underserved populations o Prioritize underserved communities Increase the capacity of mentoring organizations to provide high quality and effective programs to more youth; o Make sure programs are safe and impactful Connect resources and increase funding for mentoring organizations and to sustain Mentor Michigan; o Leverage funds to support mentoring o Important to have an organization like Mentor Michigan to advocate for mentoring o Educate on Quality Program Standards for Youth Mento ring Develop and operate a clearinghouse to locate and disseminate local, state, and national youth mentoring specific information. o Linking statewide and national opportunities to Michigan mentoring programs Mr. Campbell then explained the operational plan including the addition of a Development Director in the first year, a training coordinator in the second year, and the underserved populations/communities coordinator in year three. The leadership structure will have the MCSC as the governing body which will support/assist with fundraising efforts, have final approval of Leadership Council recommendations, and select/approve members of the Leadership Council. The Mentor Michigan Leadership Council will support/assist with fundraising effotis, advocate for mentoring, champion/broad awareness building, grantmaking (present final recommendations to MCSC), and set direction and priorities of Mentor Michigan.

This information is currently being processed by a third party vendor and will soon be made available on the MCSC website. Once live on the site, users may search for national service programs in Michigan by stream, city/county, and/or program focus area. This will not only assist with program recruitment efforts, but will also enable national service staff and members to quickly and easily locate potential partners for cross-stream collaboration. Cross-Stream Advisory Team The Cross-Stream Advisory Team, comprised of key stakeholders representing AmeriCorps, Senior Corps, and Learn and Serve programs, was created to enhance and strengthen Michigan ' s national service movement. This will be accomplished thorough the work of four subcommittees focused on the following areas: Outreach, Communication, Collaboration, and Training and Technical Assistance. The Outreach subcommittee will create and implement a strategy to raise awareness of and interest in national service. The Communication subcommittee will improve the way Michigan' s national service and volunteer programs communicate and connect with one another. The Collaboration subcommittee will assist Michigan's national service and volunteer programs with establishing and enhancing state and local partnerships. The TIT A subcommittee will identify and address training needs within the national service and voltmteer network. The Cross-Stream Advisory team recently created a strategic plan outlining goals/objectives with timetables for completion. Regional Training Events We are working with Cross-Stream Advisory Team members to identify key leaders to assist with the coordination of four regional meetings. These meetings will help connect local programs and organizations, identify regional training needs, and serve as a springboard for future cross-stream collaboration efforts. Meetings will take place this summer or early fall. 2010 Team Up Michigan! On October 12-13, 2010, the Team Up Michigan! cross-stream conference will bring together AmeriCorps, Senior Corps, and Learn and Serve program staff for two days of learning, networking, and planning ways to build a strong and sustainable infrastructure for volunteerism in local communities. Participants will explore strategies for effective collaboration while still maintaining their individual efforts. Overall goals for the 2010 Team Up Michigan! conference include: • Encourage effective collaboration among national service streams; • Support the professional development of national service program staff; and • Celebrate national service efforts in Michigan. • We plan to invite Patrick Corvington, CEO ofCNCS, to be the keynote speaker. �Engaging Volunteers Age 55 and Over The MCSC ' s plan to engage volunteers age 55 and over involves two overarching goals: • Targeted outreach to agencies providing services to older adults; and • Provide additional training for national service program staff on effective ways to engage and support volunteers age 55 and over. It is also important to extend these training opportunities to our partners and stakeholders outside of the realm of national service. Much of this additional training will be administered through Webinars. Webinar content will focus on how organizations can best recruit, manage, and retain volunteers specifically from the 1946-1964 generation. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Charities are seeing the demand for their services grow, leading them to rely even more heavily on individual giving and volunteering. Nationally; individuals contributed $307.65 billion to charities in 2008 (Giving USA 2009). Charities could not operate without the support of individuals. Since an individual's trust in the nonprofit sector and its ability to effectively carry out programs affects his or her giving and volunteering habits, this study also assesses the public's perception of nonprofit organizations, and is critical to an individual's decision to support a charity and their perception of the sector as a whole. G In Spring 20 I0, 997 Michigan residents were asked about their experiences with charitable giving and volunteering during 2009 and their perception of and trust in Michigan's charities. The following are the results of a survey conducted by the Institute for Public Policy and Social Research at Michigan State University. The survey was conducted as part of the quarterly State of the State Survey (SOSS) series. Executive Summary Findings from the survey include: • Over 85 percent of Michigan residents (85 .2%) made a contribution to a charity in the previous year • Over 50 percent of the adult popu lation (52.9%) volunteered in 2009.Women (57.4%) are sti ll significantly more likely to vo lunteer than men (47.6%), but male volunteer rates have increased noticeably by more than ten percent from 2008. • The percentage of residents who see charities as important to community quality of life increased from last year; with almost nine out of ten residents (89.4%) agree ing with this statement. • 93 percent of respondents said the need for charities is greater today than in the past. • Nearly nine out of ten Michigan residents (88.3%) believe that charities should retain their tax exemptions. Trust in Michigan's Charities Public perceptions are an important element of community trust for the charities that provide services. The survey asked a series of questions in order to understand how Michigan residents feel about their charitable organizations. Overall, the nonprofit sector in Michigan is strongly supported and trusted, with charitable organizations seen as an important factor in individual well-being. More than four out of five Michigan residents agree that charitable o1·ganizations are honest and ethical. Sentiment ranged from strongly agree (3 1.0%) and somewhat agree (52.2%) to somewhat disag1·ee ( 14.3%) or strongly disagree (2.5%). The need for charities today compared to the past is strongly felt, with 93 .0% percent of respondents agreeing strongly (59.1 %) or somewhat (33.9%) with this sentiment. Disagreement was noted as somewhat (4.6%) or strong (2.4%). Charitable organizations are widely seen as being effective, with more than three out of four respondents agreeing strongly (21 .3%) or somewhat (54.2%) that charities are more effective today than five years ago. Less than a quarter of respondents somewhat ( 19.9%) or strongly (4.6%) disagreed with this statement. Charities are also seen as important to community quality of life, with over 89 percent of Michigan respondents agreeing strongly (41.9%) or somewhat (47.5%) that charities improve their communities, whi le there was some disagreement (7.6%) or strong disagreement (3.0%). These findings represent a trend over the years of an increasing number of Michigan residents viewing charitable organizations as widely effective and important to community quality of life. The survey asked respondents whether charitable organizations shou ld be exempt from paying certain taxes. Almost nine out of ten Michigan residents (88.3%) felt that charities shou ld retain their tax exempt status. �Giving in Michigan A survey of Michigan resi dents found that more than eight out of every ten people (85.2%) had made a contri bution to charity in the previous year. Although rates of giving are stil l similar to the past five years, charities are reporting that the size of donations have decreased, with 60 percent of Michigan nonproflts reporti ng a decrease in revenue in 2009 from the preVIOUS year. The percentage of women giving increased fmm 2008 to 87.8 percent, and the percentage of men making donations decreased to 81.5 percent.

Kennedy Setve America Act: • • • • • On April21, 2009, President Obama signed into law the historic Edward M. Kennedy Serve America Act, bipartisan legislation to overhaul the federal infrastructure for service and volunteering and channel the rising desire among Americans to help their neighbors. This bill was a once-in-a-generation expansion in size and scope of our nation's service and volunteering programs, in response to a growing consensus that service is a vital part of the solution to our greatest national challenges, particularly in a tough economy. The legislation moved swiftly through to final passage in the first 100 days of the Obama Administration, and it received overwhelming bipartisan support when considered by Congress. In recognition of the unprecedented increase in applications for national service positions, the Act builds on the success of AmeriCorps, creating 175,000 new corps member slots (250,000 total) in areas of national need, Education, Healthcare, dean Energy, Economic Opportunity and Veterans support and services. The Serve America Act is an authorization bill; implementation is dependent on the availability of funds. The legislation will not fulfill its promise without adequate funding. Fiscal Year 2010 Corporation for National and Community Service Appropriations: • • • • National service programs provide opportunities for Americans of all ages and backgrounds to express their patriotism while addressing critical community needs. These programs achieve direct and demonstrable results, while they strengthen the ties that bind us together as a nation. Between fiscal year 2004-2008, federal support for national service programs was on a steady decline and all the service initiatives were targeted for cuts. Funding for the Corporation for National and Community Service was cut by $78.6 million, an 8.4% reduction. Programs struggled to do more with less, but the slow disinvestment prevented them from growing to meet the demand for service and service opportunities. This trend must be stopped and reversed to meet the record demand for service opporturuues . Congress should approve the FY10 funding levels recommended by the Senate Appropriations Committee in July 2009, $1.157 billion for the Corporation for National and Community Service. This level is $267 million above the fiscal year 2009 enacted. It is also $98 million more the House recommended for FY10. The Senate recommendation puts AmeriCorps on the path to 250,000 members, the goal approved by Congress in the Serve America Act. The Senate Committee has also included funding for several new programs authorized in the Act, including a Social Innovation Fund, a Volunteer Generation Fund and a Non-Profit Capacity Building program.

John Lewis (D-GA) and Charles Boustany (R-LA). HR 1596 will make the AmeriCorps education award tax-free, by modifying the current tax code to exclude the award from an individual's gross income. Because the award is taxed, some members lose more than $1,000 of the award value after taxes. The Lewis-Boustany bill will ensure members retain the full value of their award. Similar tax relief language was also included in legislation sponsored by Senators Hatch (R-U1) and Kennedy (D-MA), S. 278, the Incentive to Serve Tax Act. Key highlights of National Service Programs: • The Corporation for National and Community Service, the government agency that runs AmeriCorps, Learn & Serve America, and Senior Corps, acts like a foundation making federal grants to communitybased nonprofits. • National service programs help thousands of national and community non-profit organizations, faithbased groups, schools, and local agencies meet local needs in education, public health and safety, the environment, homeland security, and other critical areas. • This year, more than 1.6 million Americans will serve through these three programs. • Senior Corps volunteers have generated more than 1 billion service hours. • Learn and Serve America engaged more than 1.4 million young people in 27 million hours of service learning in 2007. • AmeriCorps provides opportunities for more than 75,000 Americans to serve annually, since 1994, more than 600,000 Americans, many of them young people, have served through AmeriCorps. • AmeriCorps members have earned more than $1 billion in AmeriCorps Education Awards that they have used to pay for college or graduate school, or to pay back qualified student loans. • National service increases participants' connection to community and influences life-long volunteering and career choices. A major longitudinal study by Abt Associates, an independent research firm, demonstrated that AmeriCorps members were significantly more likely than their peers to choose a career in public service, including teaching, social work, the military, and public safety. • A growing body of research suggests Learn and Serve America's high-quality service-learning projects improve grades, increase attendance in school, and develop students' personal and social responsibility. • Service is a good investment. Every federal dollar invested in AmeriCorps results in up to $2.60 or more in direct, measurable benefits to AmeriCorps members and the communities they serve. At an average cost of only $28 per participant, Learn and Serve America leverages private and community resources to yield $4 in services to the community for each $1 invested by the government. • Increasing investment in AmeriCorps, the Senior Corps, and Learn and Serve America would allow more Americans to serve, and create greater capacity to meet critical community needs for the benefit of children, families, the elderly, and the environment. National Service Response to Natural Disasters and Emergencies: • National Service programs in America have a long history of involvement with public safety, public health, and emergency preparedness and response, including longstanding partnerships with the Federal Emergency Management Agency, the American Red voss, and other agencies. The Corporation for 7 �.. National and Community Service became a signatory to the National Response Plan in 2005, making it part of the official Federal plan to protect our nation from natural and manmade hazards and attacks. • Since Hurricane Katrina made landfall in 2005, more than 1 million volunteers have served in the Gulf, providing critical support by gutting and repairing homes, supporting school and youth programs, providing health care and counseling, constructing new homes and meeting other local needs. This large scale volunteer response would not have been possible without the support and leadership provided by national service programs. • More than 108,000 participants in AmeriCorps, Senior Corps and Learn and Serve America have contributed 7.7 million hours in the recovery and rebuilding effort in the four years since Katrina. They have played a key role in managing the overall volunteer response- the largest in that nation's historyby recruiting and managing more than 527,000 volunteers. • In 2008, national service disaster responders assisted residents in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, Houston, Galveston, Texas and communities in Louisiana, Mississippi and Florida. The national service community is prepared to provide effective and timely response to disasters and emergencies, and national service participants are among the first deployed to provide relief and recovery aid in areas hard hit by hurricanes, floods and fires. National Service Congressional Caucus : • The National Service Congressional Caucus is a bipartisan group of legislators dedicated to raising awareness of national service and expanding service opportunities for all Americans. • The House Caucus is chaired by Representatives David Price (D-NQ, Vernon Ehlers (R-MI), Doris Matsui (D-CA), and Todd Platts (R-PA) . • The Senate Caucus is chaired by Senators Christopher Dodd (D-CI) and Thad Cochran (R-MS). • With more than 60 active members, the Caucus plays a role in working for national service legislation to provide Americans from all backgrounds with the opportunity to serve their country.

Senior Corps is administered by the Corporation for National and Community Service - Michigan State Office and Michigan's Office of Services to the Aging . 13,767 Michigan's Senior Corps participants will serve with 55 projects in 201 0. • 1,882 of those volunteers serve in the Foster Grandparent Program through 19 projects . • 11,105 of those volunteers serve in the RSVP Program through 22 projects . • 780 of those volunteers serve in the Senior Companion Program through 14 projects. "Serving as a Foster Grandparent has given me an opportunity to help others and a purpose in my life. I look forward to getting up each morning and going to school each day. I am able to provide [the children I work with] individualized attention and encouragement on a daily basis." Rae Leggett Kalamazoo Foster Grandparent Financial Investment $6,739,207 in Federal Funds was allotted to the Corporation for National and Community Service Michigan State Office for 2009-2010 Senior Corps Programs. $4,829,348 in State Funds was allotted through Michigan's Office of Services to the Aging for 20092010 Senior Corps Programs. �More than $3 million in Match Funds were leveraged by Sen ior Corps Programs in Michigan's communities in 2009 . Tapping Talents of the 55+ Population Michigan's Senior Corps (Page Two) Foster Grandparent Impact During the 2009-2010 program year, Foster Grandparent volunteers will provide support to young children struggling with social , emotional , or academic challenges. Foster Grandparent programs provide services in 59 Michigan counties , with nearly 1.2 million hours of assistance provided to 7,550 children. RSVP Impact As part of the 2009-2010 program year, RSVP will serve as a safety net for many communitiesconducting safety patrols, protecting the environment, tutoring and mentoring youth , and responding to natural disasters. More than 1,800 groups across Michigan benefit from their services. This year, RSVP will help nonprofit organizations enhance and expand the services they provide in 40 Michigan counties, with nearly 1.3 million hours of service logged. Senior Companion Impact In Michigan, Senior Companions provide one-on-one support individualized services to help homebound seniors and other adults maintain independence in the ir own homes. Senior Companion programs in 47 Michigan counties will provide more than 450,000 hours of assistance to 3,900 adults this year. The Impact of Senior Volunteers According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, volunteer services provided by older volunteers serving in Offices of Services to the Aging-administered programs equates to an economic value of nearly $56 million annually. The return on the more than $4 .8 million investment the State of Michigan places on Senior Corps volunteers is more than 500%. Seniors who volunteer have a lower risk for physical ill health. Their service can help improve selfesteem, reduce heart rates and blood pressure , increase endorphin production , enhance immune systems, buffer the impact of stress , and combat social isolation .

To build or strengthen a relationship with the congressional office. To ask legislators to fully fund the Serve America Act so that the goals outlined in the legislation can be realized. To successfully meet these three goals, we should close each meeting with four "congressional asks." It is unusual to get a firm response on the spot, so expect a neutral reaction to your question or request. [2] • • • f7l • • f7l • f7l lL.J • Fiscal Year 2010 Appropriations - Our top legislative priority is to secure fiscal year 2010 funds for the Corporation for N ational and Community Service (CNC:S) and to set the foundation for longer-term expansion in FY11 and beyond. Voices for National Service's Congressional Ask: The Serve America Act's remarkably swift journey through Congress reflects the growing national consensus that service is a powerful response to today's economic and social challenges. However, the goals of the Serve America Act cannot be realized unless Congress provides appropriate levels of funding for the Corporation for National and Community Service. While the House of Representatives recently approved an increase in funding for CNC:S, the Senate Appropriations Committee has recommended $98 million more than the House: a total of $1.157 billion in fiscal year 2010. The increase by the House signals progress, but the higher Senate level meets the White House's request and is most consistent with the goals approved by Congress in the Serve America Act. Please support the higher FY10 funding levels approved by the Senate Appropriations Committee. The Serve America Act proposes modest and reasonable growth in the service programs over 8 years. Programs such as AmeriCorps are authorized for a slow but steady ramp-up, with membership levels reaching 250,000 participants by 2017. Please increase funding levels for CNC:S in future years and keep the service programs on track to expand as envisioned in the Serve America Act. Legislation to Make the AmeriCorps Education Award Tax-Free- Because of jurisdictional oversight, Congress was not able to address this inequity in the Serve America Act, but pending legislation exists to make the AmeriCorps Education Award tax-exempt. Voices for National Service Congressional Ask: Representatives John Lewis (D-GA) and Charles Boustany (R-LA) introduced HR 1596, the Segal AmeriCorps Education Award Tax Relief Act. The bill would make the AmeriCorps Education Award tax-free, modifying the current tax code. Because the award is taxed, some members lose more than $1,000 of its value after taxes. The Lewis-Boustany bill will ensure members retain the full value of the award. Similar tax relief language was also included in legislation sponsored by Senators Orrin Hatch (R- UI) and Edward Kennedy (D-MA), S. 278, the Incentive to Serve Tax Act. Please co-sponsor or support these bills to make the AmeriCorps Education Award tax-free, consistent with the GI Bill benefits and Pell Grants, which are tax-free educational benefits. National Service Caucus - The National Service Congressional Caucus is a bipartisan group of legislators dedicated to raising awareness of national service and expanding service opportunities for all Americans. The House Caucus is chaired by Representatives David Price (D-NQ, Vernon Ehlers (R-lv1I), Doris Matsui (D-CA) and Todd Platts (R-PA). The Senate Caucus is chaired bySenators Christopher Dodd (D-CI) and Thad Cochran (R-MS). Voices for National Service Congressional Ask: Please consider joining the National Service Caucus to support Americans serving their communities and their nation. To join the House Caucus, contact the office of Representative Doris Matsui (D-CA) or Representative Todd Platts (R-PA). To join the Senate Caucus, contact the office of Senator Chris Dodd (D-CI) or Senator Thad Cochran (R-MS). Site Visit- Nothing is more persuasive than seeing national service in action. Elected officials will understand the value of your service better when they see it firsthand. Hosting a successful site visit is a great way to show policymakers how important it is to invest in the Corporation for National and Community Service. Site visits are the best way to build a - or deepen an existing - relationship with your elected official or a key member of their staff. Voices for National Service Congressional Ask: Invite the Member of Congress and/ or his staff to visit your program during an upcoming congressional recess. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

You are representing your own program as well as those who cannot be present today, so in order to have maximum impact it is important to work together with your fellow team members to emphasize the key themes and ideas, which are outlined below. Your stories and experiences are of interest to Members of Congress, who want to learn from you about how federal funds are being used and the impact that national service programs - AmeriCorps, Learn and Serve America, and the Senior Corps- are having in their communities and congressional districts . Please remember to: • Share your story; • Be specific - offer concrete examples of lives changed through the national service programs, specific data on impact, and exact numbers of members serving in your program or community; • Make specific requests and thank Members of Congress for their past support; • Be succinct - we want to make sure everyone on the team has a chance to speak Meeting Participants: Your team will include several or all of the following participants. (At the Orientation Session, you will be provided a list of scheduled appointments for September 15, complete with a list of everyone attending each of your meetings) . 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. Meeting Leader ("Meeting Captain") State Service Commission Staff or Governor-Appointed Commissioner AmeriCorps, Learn & Serve America, and Senior Corps Program Staff Alumni Partner Organizations Corporate Supporters Meeting Format: 1. TIPS FOR MEETING LEADER: a. The Meeting Leader should open each congressional meeting. He/ she should go around the table and have the meeting participants introduce themselves. b. Meeting participants should offer a brief introduction to the organizations they represent and their relationship with national service: AmeriCorps, Learn and Serve America, and/ or Senior Corps. Many Members, and their staffs, are not familiar with national service programs and the broad network of community- based organizations involved with them. c. The Meeting Leader should be prepared to provide a two-minute explanation of the Corporation for National and Community Service and its core programs - if the Member or the staff requests it. d. After the Member of Congress has had the opportunity to hear positive stories about program impact, the Meeting Leader should then introduce current issues, specifically fiscal year 2010 appropriations for the Corporation for National and Community Service. Other participants can weigh in on their thoughts on these issues, as appropriate. 2 �Specific points to cover: • • • • • • • e. The Edward M. Kennedy Serve America Act - passed by Congress in March - was the most sweeping expansion of national service in a generation. The Act calls for growth in AmeriCorps from 75,000 corps members to 250,000 by 2017, new Learn and Serve programs and an expansion of Senior Corps. In this economic downtown, our communities are struggling, job loss is on the rise, resources are dwindling and the demand for services is expanding exponentially. However, America's spirit of compassion has remained strong even during the economic crisis. All across the country, people are looking for opportunities to help their neighbors. National service is a tangible and meaningful way for citizens to share in the responsibility of seeing us through these difficult times. The Serve America Act helps to channel Americans' enthusiasm to serve, and directs it to areas and issues where it can make the biggest difference. Participants - in many national service programs - receive training that prepares them for future employment and Education Awards that can make higher education more anainable. The Serve America Act's remarkably swift joumeythrough Congress reflects the growing national consensus that service is a powedul response to the economic and social challenges facing today. But the goals of the Serve America Act cannot be realized unless Congress provides appropriate levels of funding. In July, the Senate Appropriations Comminee marked up a fiscal year 2010 Labor, HHS Appropriations bill that provides the Corporation for National and Community Service with $1.157 billion, expanding the agency's budget by 30%. While the House of Representatives also approved an increase for CNCS over last year's levels, the Senate recommended $98 million more than the House. The Senate appropriation meets the Administration's request and reinvests in the service programs, consistent with the goals approved by Congress in the Serve America Act. Investing in the Serve America Act is important to our nation's health and recovery. It will allow us to tap into the nation's most powedul and renewable resource- its citizens- and focus that manpower on our most pressing challenges, such as the dropout crisis, access to healthcare, energy efficiency and expanding economic opportunity in low-income communities. You should close every meeting with specific requests and appreciation for the member's leadership. Specific requests and appreciate include: • • • • 2. Thank the elected official for past support of service and volunteering. Refer to your Vote Tracker and see if the legislator has a good track record of support. Thank them for their leadership and for voting in support of recent legislation to enhance and expand service opportunities for Americans of all ages. Urge them to support the higher FY10 funding levels approved by the Senate Appropriations Committee. The Senate recommended modest and reasonable growth that will set the foundation for longer-term expansion in FYll and beyond. The National Service Caucus is a bipartisan group of legislators dedicated to raising awareness of national service and expanding service opportunities for all Americans. If your legislator is not a current member, encourage them to join the Caucus. Ask your elected official to visit your program. In the fall, during a congressional break, they should conduct a site visit and see the national service participants in hands-on service. TIPS FOR PROGRAM STAFF: During the meeting, you should take a minute or two to explain the service your organization provides to the community and highlight your accomplishments. It is important to note whether your program is full- time or part-time, whether it is part of another national organization, and if it also implements service-learning or engages other streams of service. Many Members are surprised to learn that service can be full-time or that a program receiving funding from the Corporation has an independent mission. 3 �Specific points to cover: • National service programs meet critical community needs: the work we do (building affordable housing, tutoring children in low performing schools, etc.) is filing important gaps in communities around America and in your state/ district. Through our service we have seen (impact statistic if relevant/ powerful). There is a strong demand for more corps members/ volunteers in the communities we serve. AmeriCorps applications have tripled since last year, a sign of increased interest in service, the challenging job market, Congress' passage of the Serve America Act. (Let the legislator know if you recruit corps members from their congressional district.) • • • Key Point: "ArneriCotps, Senior Cotps, and Learn & Serve America members are making a difference in your district." 3. TIPS FOR ALUMNI: If alumni are present, it is imperative they have the opportunity to share their powerful stories. Their passion, their idealism, and their service will make a lasting impression on a Member of Congress or staffer. There probably will not be enough time to give a lengthy testimonial, so the alumni should be prepare to give a quick 1-2 minute overview of their service and impact. Specific points to cover: • • Tell about your service: the program you served with, the goals of your project, the impact you had on the children and community you served, and the impact your service had on your life. Explain how your service experience developed your leadership skills or helped connect you to your current profession. Thank the Member of Congress for making it possible for you to serve and emphasize how important it is for this opportunity to remain available for others looking to serve their community and nation. Key point: "ArneriCotps [or another service program] made a tremendous difference in my life, and I made a difference in my community. I am only one of the more than 600,000 Americans who have served through ArneriCotps." 4. TIPS FOR PARTNER ORGANIZATIONS: Service partners can provide context about what the AmeriCorps/Learn & Serve America/Senior Corps program means to your organization and to the local community. You should give specifics on what the program and its members have accomplished and why they have chosen to support the program. Specific points to cover: • • Please be specific about the value added by AmeriCotps/Learn & Serve America/ Senior Corps members (for example, reading and math scores have risen in your school byx%, _trails have been built and maintained in a protected area, etc.), and estimate what similar services might cost if they were provided by contracting with another service provider. There is a high level of demand for the services provided by AmeriCotps/Learn & Serve America/ Senior Corps members. Key point: "ArneriCotps, Learn & Serve America, and Senior Cotps provide an invaluable service to the constituents this Member of Congress represents." 4 �5. TIPS FOR CORPORATE SUPPORTERS: Corporate supporters should explain why they choose to invest in AmeriCorps/Learn & Serve America/Senior Corps. How is investing in national service good for communities and good for business? Corporate supporters should emphasize the value of the public-private partnership in leveraging their investments, and should address the importance of sustained investment on the part of both public and private investors in AmeriCorps, Learn & Serve, and Senior Corps. Key point: "I invest in national service programs because the federal government also invests; through this unique public-private partnership, I can leverage my dollar to deepen my impact." 5 �VOICESFORNATIONA SERVICE Elements of a Successful Meeting with Your Member of Congress and Staff Voices for National Service Capitol Hill Day The Voices for National Service Capitol Hill Day provides you the opportunity to educate and influence O:mgress about the need to expand opportunities for Americans to serve. You will share evidence of the impact of service programs', as key lawmakers consider legislation and funding bills that affect national service. Whether you are meeting with a Member of Congress and congressional staff for the first time or a veteran of public policy outreach, it is important to review the following elements of a successful meeting in order to lend a powerful voice for national service. BE EARLY: Capitol Hill is a busy place where any given day Members of Congress and their staffs attend multiple votes, committee hearings, and constituent meetings to conduct the business of government. Remember to be respectful of their time by arriving early to your meeting. Allow yourself ample time to pass through security and find the correct office. Congressional office buildings can appear to be labyrinths and often intimidate visitors, but you will find staff practiced at giving directions and interior maps posted in the hallways. When you arrive at the office, greet the receptionist, and state with whom you have a scheduled meetmg. PREPARE: It is important to practice in advance your meeting agenda and what you will sayto the Member of Congress and staff. Remember that you represent not only your own program but the entire national service field. Anticipate different scenarios, and be prepared to be flexible. The Member of Congress or staff member with whom you are scheduled to meet may have been called out of the office. You may find that your meeting takes place in the office entryway or standing in the hall because meeting space is not available. Research your Member of Congress to know on what they are currently working and what actions they have taken in the past to support national service. Preparation helps keep the meeting focused so you can achieve your goals . If you are traveling in a group, select a primary spokesperson who will introduce each participant and manage the meeting. Voices for National Service calls this spokesperson the "Meeting Captain." Typically the Meeting Captains will be chosen based on their prior experience with congressional meetings. Voices recommends the following meeting format: 1. The Meeting Captain introduces the group and provides a two-minute explanation of the Corporation for National and Community Service and its core programs. 2. The Meeting Captain thanks the Member of Congress, or staff member, for any past support for national service. 3. In turn, meeting participants introduce themselves, the organizations they represent, and their relationships to national service. Participants should be specific about the work accomplished in the Member's district and provide personal testimony about the value of national service. 4. The Meeting Captain discusses the current state of national service, with other participants commenting when appropriate. 5. The Meeting Captain makes a specific request of the Member or staff. 6. Contact information and materials with more information are exchanged. 7. The Meeting Captain thanks the Member or staff for the time and asks when they can follow up on the request made. Elements of a Successful Meeting revised September 11, 2009 page 1 �VOICESFORr~ATIONALSERVICE BE CONCISE: You should expect to have 10-25 minutes at most for your meeting. It is vital to have prepared talking points in advance so that you can quickly and concisely communicate your message. Do not assume that the Member or Member's staff is knowledgeable about national service programs; be prepared to provide background information. Never use acronyms or slang terms, such as "CNCS" or "MSY." Anticipate arguments from both supporters and opponents of expanding national service programs so that you have a ready response. Never guess or make up an answer, if asked a question to which you do not know the answer. Say instead that you do not have that information but would be happy to follow up with the answer. Remember to do so as soon as possible TELL THE STORY: It is important to provide statistics about the impact of national service programs, but your Member of Congress and congressional aides will more easily remember a personal story, or real-life example, of your experience with national service. If possible connect your personal story to statistics and important studies on national service, but anchor the story with your personal experience working in a commUlllty. Always be honest in your story and try to focus on what changed as a result of a national service program. BE RESPECTFUL: You help build champions of national service by providing accurate and timely information, presenting persuasive arguments, and remaining courteous and respectful at all times during your meeting. It is okay if the Member of Congress or staff members do not agree with your point of view on national service. Avoid confrontation and argument. Remember that national service is a bipartisan program. You may not both agree today, but you may build a relationship that overtime becomes very important to your program and the national service field. MAKE ARE QUEST: Members of Congress and their staffs will be expecting you to make a specific request during the meeting. You should prepare in advance a specific request and never conclude the meeting until you have politely made your request. Do what you can to get a specific commitment from the Member of Congress to take action on your request. The office may require some time to consider your request, and you should feel comfortable asking when you can call or email to receive the answer. You may want to reemphasize why the specific issue is so important and offer to provide any further information that is needed to make a decision. LEAVE BEHIND INFORMATION: During the Capitol Hill Day, Voices for National Service will prepare leave-behind packets with detail on the pending legislative issues. You are encouraged to bring additional information about your specific organization or program to add to your meeting leave- behind packets . REPORT BACK: It is critical to report back to Voices for National Service what happened during your meeting. Voices will follow up to reinforce your request or provide any needed information. If others have a meeting at a later date with the same congressional office, Voices will be able to share the results of your meeting. You should also follow up directly with Members of Congress and their staffs if you made any promises to provide further information. You should consider writing a hand-written thank-you letter or sending a thank-you email to those with whom you met.

Kennedy Serve America Act (SAA), the most sweeping expansion of national service in a generation. This landmark law is making America stronger by focusing service on key national issues; expanding opportunities to serve; building the capacity of individuals, nonprofits, and communities to succeed; and encouraging innovative approaches to solving problems. Fulfilling the promise of the Act has been the top priority of the Corporation for National and Community Service, the federal agency that leads the nation's service and voluntary sector. One year after its enactment, volunteering is up, momentum is strong, and a new vision for service is taking effect, one based on growth, innovation , and targeting resources on our nation's pressing problems. Five-Year Strategic Plan Every five years, Congress requests each federal agency to adopt a strategic plan that defines its missions, goals, and the means by which it will measure its progress. The Serve America Act is helping to shape the Corporation's Strategic Plan for the next five years. Given the breadth of the social impact focus areas that are outlined in SAA, the Corporation has many opportunities to make significant progress in addressing issues of critical concern to the nation. We began the strategic plan planning process by defining our Key Objectives, which summarize the Corporation's impact that we intend to accomplish over the next five years. We concentrated on getting to "the root of th e problem" while ensuring that we kept our Key Objectives broad enough to address national challenges and needs. In addition, we sought to include Key Objectives that would be aligned with our strategic priorities, as outlined by our CEO. These priorities include: • Service as a Solution • Expanding Opportunities to Serve • Build Enduring Capacity • Embrace Innovation Interviews with industry experts and thought leaders in the field were extremely helpful in assisting our staff in honing in on those Key Objectives that present the most strategic opportunities in addressing the focus areas ourlined in the SAA. In addition, we explored key objectives that would allow us to deploy "place-based strategies" and address multiple federal agencies and initiatives. Finally, the Key Objectives should be informed by our past work, hold relevance in the years ahead, and enable facilitation of community members servi ng their communities. �The Key Obj ectives In light of these criteria and conversations with industry experts, th ought leaders and stakeholders, we are proposing the following them es for the Key Obj ectives: Focus Areas as O utlined in SAA Service as a Solution Expand Opportunities to Serve Build Enduring Capacity Embrace Innovation Education •Improve graduation rates for students •Imp rove grade-level performance Healthy Futures •Improve the health and wellness of individuals in the areas of obesiry prevention, aging in place and access to health services Environmenral Stewardship •Reduce consumption of fossil fuels Veterans •Increase economic, education and health opportunities for veterans and milirary families by leveragi ng national service, including veterans serving vererans Opportuniry •Improve financial srabiliry, access to affordable housing an d employment: oppo rtunities for economically vulnerable families D isasrer Preparedn ess •Increase capaciry of communiries to serve vu lnerable populations in the event of a disaster •Improve communities in disaster-affected areas Next Steps The themes of the Key Objectives will continue to be refined with experts and stakeholders through the pub lic input sessions and additional outreach efforts. Once the Key Objectives are finalized, the staff will propose a set of metrics and indicators to provide additional specificity that will be used by the board and the CEO to monitor the Corporation's performance. The result will be a "chain of outcomes" that directly links the work of grantees, partners and service participants to the Key Objectives. We are on a collective jo urney and together, we can provide opportunities for people to serve in a meaningful way. We gen uinely want to hear from yo u. T he Corporation wants and encourages both current and potential new partners and grantees to provide input and feedback on our strategic plan . Opportunities for you to provide feedback include the following: • Face-to-face Community Dialogues with our CEO and Board of Directors • Numerous webinars for the general public • On-line message board The feedback and input from our Community Dialogues, webinars, and message board will be synthesized and shared with everyone whom we have on record as participating. In addition, a summary report will be posted on our website and disseminated broadly through our various listservs and other communication mechanisms. Finally, the Strategic Plan itself will be posted on our website in the fall of 2010 and we will share the plan widely to ensure that you have a chance to examine th e plan that yo u helped to create!

K. Kellogg Foundation Daniel G. Mulhern Chair Emeritus First Gentleman Donna Niester James C. Acheson Foundation Acheson Ventures Bernard Parker Paula Kaiser VanDam gave an overview of the AmeriCorps application process for 2010-11 funding. The MCSC received a record 34 applications for the funding which included 10 currently funded programs and 24 new applicant organizations. Of the 34 new/recomplete applications, 15 new/recomplete applications and 2 continuation applications were submitted to CNCS for competitive funding consideration (MCSC Commissioners approved this recommendation in January). Seven of the applications were funded competitively for a total of$2.6 million in funding (a $500,000 increase from last year). Wayne County Commissioner Jerry Seese Saginaw Township Community Schools Marsha Smith Rotary Charities of Traverse City Joseph Sowmick Saginaw Chippewa Indian Tribe of Michigan Alphonso Swain Capitol Area Center for Independent Living Larry Williamson Comcast Cable The MCSC has a formula allotment of$3.7 million combined with $500,000 from unspent funding from the current program year for a total of $4.2 million to grant. Many current programs requested expansion funding this year to be in alignment with funding they received last year through formula and ARRA. With the number and the diversity of the new applications the MCSC received this year, MCSC AmeriCorps staff made the decision to fund new programming over expansions. CNCS usually has supplemental funding available later in the summer and the MCSC will request $1.15 million in �supplemental funding to fund one additional new program and allow for expansions requested by six existing programs. Commissioners wanted staff to make clear when they respond to the programs requesting expansion funding that they are not receiving a reduction in funding. Jeanine Yard also shared that program's performance also played a role in the funding decision (retention, enrolled members, etc.) Ms. VanDam presented staff recommendations for new/recomplete funding applicants for a total of $2.67 million. This funding includes funding for 5 new and 6 current programs. (See attached memo from Marcy Bishop Kates and Jeanine Yard dated June 22, 2010). Chair Vella asked for a motion to approve staff recommendations for AmeriCorps formula funding for new/recomplete applicants. Commissioner Mawby made a motion to support the recommendation; Commissioner Collier supported the motion. The motion passed unanimously. Ms. VanDam presented staff recommendations for continuation (renewal) funding applicants for a total of $1.57 million. Chair Vella asked for a motion to approve staff recommendations for AmeriCorps formula funding for renewal applicants. Commissioner Mawby made a motion to support the recommendation; Commissioner Niester supported the motion. The motion passed unanimously. Ms. VanDam presented staff recommendations for supplemental funding that will be requested later this summer for one new program and expansion of six existing programs for a total of $1.15 million. We do not know the amount that will be available through supplemental funding so this request may be amended once that figure is known. Chair Vella asked for a motion to approve staff recommendations for AmeriCorps supplemental funding. Commissioner Collier made a motion to support the recommendation; Commissioner Mawby supported the motion. The motion passed unanimously. First Lady Visit to Detroit Rob Collier gave an overview of First Lady Michelle Obama's visit to Detroit on May 26. The visit included a rally for 10,000 at Wayne State University (including 5,000 high school students from Detroit Public Schools) and a lunch at the DIA for 225 high school students. Mentor Michigan had 20 mentoring programs present at the lunch. He explained that the foundation community raised the $75,000 budgeted to support the visit. As the rally grew from the originally discussed 5,000 to 10,000, the expenses also increased. Wayne State University contributed over $100,000 including in-kind donations . But there is a $57,000 shortfall to cover expenses. The W.K. Kellogg Foundation has agreed to cover $50,000 and Commissioner Collier requested Mentor Michigan support the event with a disbursement of $7,000. Chair Vella asked for a motion to approve the disbursement of $7,000 from Mentor Michigan. Commissioner Collier made a motion to support the recommendation; Commissioner Mawby supported the motion. The motion passed unanimously. Transition Chair Vella shared there has been discussion around the MCSC transition to the next administration and whether conversation with the candidates should begin before the primary with contact to the seven candidates or if it should be made after the primary to just the two candidates. It was agreed that the MCSC should be proactive and discussions should be nonpartisan and should be made prior to the primary in August. MCSC staff will survey Commissioners on their upcoming campaign activities and relationships with candidates and/or key staff members. Adjourn I 0:42 am �STATE OF MICHIGAN JENNIFER M .

The meeting was called to order at 10:05 a.m. Members present: Jim Vella, Rob Collier, and Russ Mawby. Staff present: Paula Kaiser VanDam and Janice Harvey. CNCS Update Ms. VanDam shared updated information on FY11 national service funding. There could be an increase of $1 million in commission administration funding and an increase in training funding (PDAT). Paula explained that the Volunteer Generation Fund funding has been announced (created through the Serve America Act). There was $4 million allocated in this first year. Because the allocated amount was smaller than requested, only State Commissions were eligible for the funding. The MCSC applied for $700,000 and received notice that we were funded for $490,000. This funding will support volunteer infrastructure to support volunteer connector organizations (Volunteer Centers). The MCSC will subgrant these funds to Volunteer Centers who will develop partnerships to strengthen the capacity to recruit volunteers in health or public safety issue areas or those organizations working with their Cities of Service representatives. Paula also shared that the CNCS is developing a new 5-year strategic plan under Patrick Corvington. The new strategic plan will focus on 6 specific areas - education, healthy futures , clean energy, veterans, opportunity, and disaster preparedness. �They have been hosting community dialogues around the strategic plan with Patrick Corvington or board members in several states. CNCS board member Julie Fisher Cummings will be participating in community dialogues in Detroit and Flint that will be coordinated by Evan Albert ofCNCS's State Office in Michigan. Patrick Corvington will also be the keynote speaker at the 2010 Team Up Conference on October 1ih in Detroit. We will host a Commissioner Roundtable discussion with him following his keynote presentation. Ms. VanDam also shared information on two Inspector General (IG) audits. The first IG audit was with the BHK AmeriCorps program. This audit has been in process for two years and we recently received their findings. It was reported that members were placed in schools and were performing duties of employees that were laid off. The IG found that this was not the case. But there were findings related to members performing unauthorized service and displacement of employees. They are requesting that the MCSC pay back $78,000 for the member hours. The MCSC is working with CNCS on the findings as we are not in agreement. The second audit is with Communities in Schools AmeriCorps program. This investigation began three weeks ago with reported allegations that the program director was inflating member hours make them eligible for education awards. The MCSC has met with the Executive Director of the CIS to discuss this serious issue. Several ofthe members that are under review will end their 12 month term the end of August and if they are found to have ineligible hours, they may not receive their education award. Paula and Marcy Bishop Kates are meeting with the members and the leadership team on August 24th to discuss the allegations and the effect it will have on the members. We will ask the CNCS to offer a prorated education award or to extend the term of service to complete the hours. Michigan Voices for Volunteerism- 10 City Listening Tour Ms. VanDam shared the results from the 10 city listening tour. Critical challenges identified include education, health, personal/public safety, poverty, and unemployment/economy issues. We also learned that people don ' t know enough about the national service resources in their communities which means we need to do a better job of educating them about what is available. The information gathered from the 10 city listening tour will be used in the development of the state service plan. CMA Endowment Update Ms. VanDam explained that during a recent conference call with the CMA Endowment Fund Committee, the question was raised whether the MCSC could benefit from receiving some of the endowment funds. An ad hoc committee will reiterate the CMA endowment donors intentions and the use of endowment funds in the future . Janet Lawson and Terry Pruitt will represent the MCSC on this ad hoc committee along with Rob Collier as a former CMA board member. Governor 's Service Awards The 2010 Financial Summary was shared with Commissioners and proceeds distribution was discussed. The MCSC raised $93,000 in 2010 and had $21,935 in expenses for a net proceed of$71,065. The proceeds from 2009 ($96, 130) currently remain in the account which gives us a balance of $167, 195. Recommendations are: $ 10,000 GSA Account for 2011 Mentor Michigan for implementation of the Mentor Michigan strategic plan and $100,000 distribution to mentoring organizations through mini-grants $ 5,000 Support Cities of Service initiative MCSC 20th Anniversary - 2011 $ 17,195 National Days of Service - minigrants for 9111, Global Youth Service Day, MLK $ 15,000 Day $ 20,000 Commission Development Commissioners agreed to these recommendations. �-· Transition There was discussion around the Gubernatorial candidates and whether Commissioners had a point of contact within the campaigns. Dan Mulhern is contacting Virg Bernero's campaign and Paula Kaiser VanDam is going to contact Anne Mervenne of Rick Snyder's campaign to discuss setting up a meeting with a campaign staff person. MNA will also invite candidates to speak at Nonprofit Day on September 21. They have agreed to have a question around the importance ofvolunteerism. Commissioners shared that it is important that the message be focused around the special role of the MCSC and the public/private collaboration. The MCSC will prepare packets for the candidates. Paula requested feedback from Commissioners around the messaging so that it matches the messaging of their campaign. It was also recommended that we send packets to the four major Congressional candidates in the districts that will have a new member (Huizenga, Hansen Clarke, Gary McDowell, and both candidates in Ehlers' district). AmeriCorps Executive Directors will also be contacting the candidates to share information on AmeriCorps programs in their districts. Board Development Ms. VanDam stated that two Commissioners will be leaving the MCSC board and will be replaced with a representative from the volunteer sector (Diana Algra) and a new youth Commissioners (Ella Kate Wagner). We are still looking for a local labor union representative.

Eighteen returning programs were approved for renewal funding and seven new programs were identified and approved through a competitive review process. The following districts are new this year: Buena Vista School District Carrollton Public Schools Detroit Edison Public School Academy Kentwood Public Schools Public Schools of Calumet, Laurium and Keweenaw Sparta Area Schools Traverse Bay Area Intermediate School District Each of these new programs will pilot a minimum of three service-learning experiences, develop program leadership, design introductory service-learning professional development and establish strategies for growth for their second grant year. Coaching Supports In reviewing Learn and Serve - Michigan applications from new applicants this year it was clear that several of the new programs would need additional supports to start strong. This summer we designed a new process to provide them more intensive start up guidance. We are contracting with two former Learn and Serve -Michigan program coordinators to each coach two new program this year. The coaches have had introductory meetings with their sites and helped them plan their next steps in supporting quality service-learning instruction in the classroom and in developing the systems necessary to manage the grant. The districts have been very complimentary about this service and it is evident that they have good ideas about smart goals for their first quarter activities. The remaining three sites have some experience with the Learn and Serve - Michigan program but will be provided similar support by MCSC staff. Grantee Meeting The MCSC staff provided a three-day Learn and Serve- Michigan orientation meeting September 2123 , 2010. The fust day was hosted at the Detroit Service-Learning Academy (DSLA). DSLA is a fullimmersion service-learning school where each student, educator and staff member is engaged in service-learning. This location provided us an ideal location to highlight the importance of quality instructional practice and administrative supports. The agenda for three days included sessions on: Implementation and Sustainability Planning, a Community Partner Panel, Educational Leadership for Service-Learning, Tapping other National Service Resources, a Mini -Communicators Institute, K -12 and Higher Education Partnerships for Service-Learning, Service-Learning in Science, Technology, Engineering and Math and Youth Voice. The overall sentiment was that this meeting provided challenging content for return grantees and approachable enough for those new to the Learn and Serve - Michigan network. �Julie Fisher Cummings Visit to DSLA This August the Corporation for National and Community Service (CNCS) visited two sites in Michigan to solicit feedback on their strategic plan. The visit to Detroit included a site visit to the Detroit Service-Learning Academy. CNCS board member Julie Fisher Cummings and CNCS staff spent more than an hour hearing from DSLA administrators about the value of service-learning as a teaching method and how service-learning has been critical in establishing a school climate that emphasizes individual achievement. Ms. Fisher Cummings and CNCS staff were very impressed by the visit and expressed a deeper understanding of how service-learning can be used to strengthen schools and communities. Coming Up We will be starting program site visits this period. Each district will receive a minimum of one site visit this year. Start up programs will get two visits and will be given priority in scheduling. We will also be planning for our bi-annual Service-Learning Sustainability Symposium. The Symposium is a three-day event that emphasizes the creation of a vision for service-learning in the district and allows district teams to create specific steps for achieving that vision. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Organizations were asked to get involved by collecting food or monetary donations at a local event or gathering a group of individuals to volunteer at their local Food Banks. September also happens to be Hunger Action Month. According to Feeding America's national study, more than 1.1 million Michigan residents rely on assistance from food banks each year. In Michigan, nearly 200,000 different individuals receive emergency food assistance each week. The September 11 National Day of Service and Remembrance is the culmination of an effort originally launched in 2002 by 911 1 family members and support groups. It became officially recognized following the passage of the Edward M. Kennedy Serve America Act of April 2009. We provided an online toolkit full of instructional guides, Food Bank listings, promotional flyers, and fill-able press releases to assist organizations in coordinating "Tackle Hunger" projects. The following projects were registered with the MCSC: • • • • • • • Do-All, Inc.'s food drive on Friday, September 10 in Bay City Isabella County Commission on Aging' s volunteer effort on Saturday, September 11 in Mt. Pleasant Michigan Primary Care Association's volunteer effort on Tuesday, September 14 in Harbor Springs Pinckney High School' s Cross Country Team' s food drive on Saturday, September 11 in Pinckney Volunteer Center of Greater Kalamazoo ' s food drive on Tuesday, September 7 through Friday, September 10 in Kalamazoo Volunteer Muskegon's food drive on Monday, September 6 through Saturday, September 11 in Oceana County U.P. Volunteer Network' s food and monetary donation drive on Monday, September 6 through Saturday, September 11 in Marquette Meanwhile, staff of the MCSC partnered with the Michigan Nonprofit Association and others to conduct a fo od and monetary donation drive on Tuesday, September 7 through Friday, September 10 in Lansing. As a result of these efforts, 376 food items and $267 were collected and donated to the Mid-Michigan Food Bank. The drive pitted Michigan State University fans against University of Michigan fans, with MSU walking away with bragging rights. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
