Welcome and Introductions- Chair Bloodworth welcomed Commissioners at 12:10 pm. MEA President Steve Cook welcomed Commissioners to their offices. Chair Bloodworth explained that beginning with the April MCSC Board Meeting, we will be moving to a consent agenda. II. Review & Approval ofNovember 17, 2012 Minutes- Chair Bloodworth asked for a motion to approve the minutes from the November 17, 2012 MCSC board meeting. Commissioner Price motioned to approve the minutes; Commissioner Lawson seconded the motion. The motion passed unanimously. III. Standing Committee Reports A. Executive Committee- Minutes from January 9, 2013 Meeting. Chair Bloodworth asked for a motion to approve the Executive Committee minutes from January 9, 2013. Commissioner Lawson motioned to approve the minutes; Commissioner Niester seconded the motion. The motion passed unanimously. IV. Executive Director Report- Paula Kaiser VanDam A. MCSC Staff Transition- Ms. VanDam shared with Coiiliil).ssioners that she has permanently been named the Director of the Bureau of Community Service so we will begin the process of hiring a new Executive Director for the MCSC. The posting for the position has been shared through our network in Michigan and also nationally. A few Commissioners will be asked to participate in the selection panel/interview process for the new Executive Director. The MCSC will remain an initiative of the Bureau so Paula won't be so closely involved in the day-to-day operations of the MCSC she will be involved in the strategic way of advancing the work with the Department of Human Services and the Governor' s administration. This should expand the capacity of the MCSC once we hire the new Executive Director. Commissioners recognized Paula for her many years of service to the MCSC. B. Program Updates 1. AmeriCorps- Staff recommendations for Michigan's AmeriCorps competitive funding were presented to Commissioners. Jeanine Yard and Ben Gulker walked through the application process and the recommendations. The MCSC received 27 applications from existing grantees and new applicants. The applications went through a two-step review process; first a peer review and then a staff review. The CNCS focus areas for funding which include education, health, economic opportunity, environment, veterans and their families, and disaster preparedness. There are two types of AmeriCorps funding- competitive and formula. Fourteen applications are being recommended for competitive funding (new and recompetes ), three applications are being recommended to be considered for formula funding along with any of the 14 applications that are not successful in competitive funding, and 10 applications are not being recommended for funding. In additional to the 27 new and recompete applications, the MCSC also received 7 continuation applications, which are grantees that are in year one or two of their three-year grant and are seeking funding for another year. 2 �-- ------ Ben Gulker presented the AmeriCorps Competitive Application new and recompete staff recommendations. (see January 17, 2013 memo from Paula Kaiser VanDam). Chair Bloodworth asked for a motion to approve the staff recommendations for the AmeriCorps Competitive funding. Commissioner Algra motioned to approve the staff recommendations; Commissioner Lawson seconded the motion. The motion passed unanimously with the following Commissioners abstaining: David Price (Peckham, Goodwill, MNA), Breannah Alexander (MNA), Diana Algra, (MNA), Tony Campbell (Heart of West Michigan United Way), Rob Collier (Michigan Association of United Way and MNA), Carolyn Bloodworth (MNA). Commissioners requested information on grantee past performance in the staff recommendations for funding. The CNCS will notify the MCSC in May/June with the programs that will be funding competitively. Once we receive that notification, the MCSC will prepare the formula funding recommendations for Commissioner approval. Megan Sargent shared additional AmeriCorps updates. The AmeriCorps LeaderCorps retreat will take place in late January. The LeaderCorps is comprised of one member from each program who serves as a liaison between the program and the MCSC. There are three leadership teams: Outreach and Communications, Alumni and Member Engagement, and Diversity and Inclusion. This year the LeaderCorps will focus on alumni and member experience. They are also champions for AmeriCorps in general and help connect members from their programs to members from other programs. AmeriCorps Week will be March 9-17 and is an opportunity to shine the light on what AmeriCorps members are doing. Michigan's AmeriCorps programs will plan awareness and recognition events along with service projects during this week. It is also a good opportunity to education legislators. Commissioners are also invited to attend events that take place during that week in their communities. The 2013 Russ Mawby Signature Service Project will be held May16-17 in Lansing. The MCSC brings AmeriCorps members from around the state together for this two-day service project which is a good way showcase the power of AmeriCorps. We will holding the kickoff event on the steps of the Capitol. Commissioner Mike Hill updated Commissioners on Michigan Reading Corps. He thanked Commissioners Tony Campbell and Julie Calley for their leadership . on this initiative. Thirty-two percent of Michigan third graders are not reading at grade level. Third grade reading proficiency is a key indicator of high school drop-out rates. The Heart of West Michigan United Way is a pilot site for the program in Michigan. The MCSC is looking at developing a three-year program. The Heart of West Michigan United Way would serve as the fiscal agency. There would be an RFP process for schools/buildings to apply to participate. We are looking at 75 ·AmeriCorps members in the first year that will be coached on how to tutor young children in literacy. They would work with at-risk children for 20 minutes every day. The MCSC has requested just over $1 million in our 3 �AmeriCorps Competitive application for Michigan Reading Corps (Heart of West Michigan United Way). We would like to launch this during the 2013-14 school year so will need the 75 AmeriCorps members ready to start. The challenge is that the MCSC will not hear back on the competitive funding request until June. That will make the launch in August/September very tight. The Michigan Reading Corps Commissioner Advisory Committee is recommending the Commission designate $666,000 in formula funds for Michigan Reading Corps in case it is not awarded competitive funds. If the program is funded competitively, then the $660,000 of formula funds would be used to support other AmeriCorps formula applications. This approval will allow the program to proceed with the selection of sites and assignment of member slots to be able to begin in September. Commissioner Hill stated that the Advisory Committee will be meeting with Superintendent Mike Flanagan in February to share information on the Michigan Reading Corps along with a meeting with DHS Director Maura Corrigan. We are also discussing ways to raise the required match dollars. Startup match requirement estimates are $10,000 per AmeriCorps member. We know schools are not in the position to pay $10,000 per member. They will make a contribution to the program through in-kind by providing a staff member who will serve as an internal coach to the members in their building and will be working with those members on an on-going basis in coaching them in their tutoring and problem solving skills. The MCSC will be strategic in choosing the geographic areas served, overall growth, and assist with raising the required match dollars. Where we can raise the match dollars may impact where the program will be in the first couple of years because funders may have specific geographic interests. Ms. VanDam stated that in order to demonstrate the value of the MCSC and the power of national service, it is going to be really important for us to think critically about a critical issue that we want to use the resources that we have to make a difference and to be able to demonstrate that. The last couple of years, the small amount of general funds that the MCSC receives (approximately $700,000 has been called into question from the legislature. We are at a critical point that we have to be able to demonstrate the value of the MCSC and particularly what we do around critical issues in our state. Funding a model like the Minnesota Reading Corps, which has been in existence for 10 years and has great data to show the difference they are making, will give us the data to demonstrate the value of national service around a particular issue. Chair Bloodworth asked for a motion to approve the Commissioner recommendation for supporting Michigan Reading Corps with $660,000 in formula funding if it is not funded competitively. Commissioner Smith motioned to approve the recommendation; Commissioner Lawson seconded the motion. The motion passed unanimously with Breannah Alexander and Tony Campbell abstaining. 2: Mentor Michigan- Amber Troupe shared updates on Mentor Michigan. The DNR Fisheries Division employees hosted a silent auction with the proceeds donated to Mentor Michigan. The funds will be distributed through mini-grants to mentoring organizations to do fishing-related activities including transportation to fishing events or to purchase fishing poles to have at their office that 4 �mentee/mentor matches can borrow for a match activity. She also shared that the National Mentoring Summit will take place on January 24-25 in Washington DC. The Lt. Governor Brian Calley and Commissioner Julie Calley will join the Michigan delegation, including Paula and Amber, at the Summit. He will speak during a plenary session to highlight the importance of mentoring and the great work we are doing in Michigan. Also, January is National and Michigan Mentoring Month. Mentor Michigan has provided the field with a variety of tools and resources to promote mentoring and recruitment event mini-grants. Nearly $10,000 was awarded to 19 organizations to support mentor recruitment events. 3. Volunteer Michigan- Ms. VanDam shared that Angelia Salas, the MCSC program officer for Volunteer Michigan, has left the MCSC staff for another position. We have made the strategic decision to not replace this position immediately until we see how the federal appropriations play out. In the interim Diana Algra and the Volunteer Centers of Michigan, who have been an important partner in this work, will take on some additional responsibilities, specifically related to the Volunteer Generation Fund Grant. We will also expand the work of Bob Kahle, the evaluator for this initiative, to take on some of the site visit work. The MCSC and partners will promote MLK Day and will award 21 grants (approximately $8,000) to organizations that will coordinate service projects. There are 44 registered service projects for MLK Day. DHS Director Corrigan will participate in a project hosted by one of our AmeriCorps programs in Detroit. Commissioner Algra updated Commissioners on the Reimaging Service initiative which is looking increasing the social impact of effective volunteer engagement and increasing the impact of volunteers through practice, research, and funding. The Michigan partners are trying to bring the model (created in California) to Michigan and using the curriculum to train nonprofits in how to effectively engage volunteers. The training is not on volunteer management and best practices, it is on training nonprofits to understand in engaging volunteers as a central focus of that agency's work. There will be a national rollout of this work with an RFP process to State Commissions and other affiliates interested in the implementation ofthis initiative. Ms. VanDam also shared that there is a possibility that the MCSC will need to raise funds to support this initiative and there is not funds available in the MCSC and VCM budget to support it. Ms. VanDam also shared information on this year's Giving and Volunteering Celebration which will take place on Wednesday, April24, on the lawn ofthe State Capitol. The event is held during National Volunteer Week. During the event the key partners (MCSC, MNA, CMF, VCM, MCC, CNCS and The LEAGUE Michigan) will bring awareness and recognition of the impact that volunteering is having in our state. We will also unveil the first Michigan Civic Health Index Report and will do a call to action as a result of some of the indicators from the report. We will also be recognizing an AmeriCorps Alumn and Senior Corps volunteer. The State of Michigan Social Media office approached the MCSC ill rolling out a statewide social media "pay it forward" campaign called #MiGoodDeeds and will encourage people to volunteer. 5 �We convinced them to launch in April during the Giving and Volunteering event. Recourses will be available to fmd information on volunteering, and we will be profiling the Governor's Service Awards fmalists, Global Youth Service Awards, and then conclude with our Signature Service Project in May. 4. Governor' s Service Awards- Ms. VanDam explained that the nomination forms have been distributed for the 2013 Governor's Service Awards and are due March 1. The Executive Committee requested that the event be moved to a different location as it is been in Detroit for the past three years. The 2013 event will be held in Grand Rapids at the Meijer Gardens at the end of July. We will begin the fundraising for the event and will do additional outreach to organizations in Grand Rapids since the event will be there this year. Commissioners will be asked to assist with the fundraising. There was one change to the Corporate category. The rule has been that once you have won an award in a category, you cannot win again in that category. After some feedback from some corporations, the Executive Committee has changed the policy to allow Corporations to win again as long as they haven't won in the last 5 years. C. Financial Report- Garry Gross shared the fmancial statement for FY13 first quarter. The MCSC is waiting to see how VGF funding will be and whether there will be disability and PDAT funding. Fortunately we have some carry·over of our federal funds from past years which will help carry us through this year. D. CNCS/National Service Update 1. Funding Update- Ms. VanDam explained that we are still operating under a Continuing Resolution (CR). If there is a CR for the rest of the fiscal year, this could hurt the MCSC because last year state commissions took a cut in terms of the overall appropriation for state commission admin. Then if the sequestering hits, it would be an additional 7-8% cut for commissions. The MCSC has some unspent carry over federal dollars due to some of the staff transitions last year so should be fine this year. 2. CNCS Update- Cathy Sharp shared the CNCS Michigan profile with Commissioners. There are more than 7,700 Senior Corps members and 1,800 AmeriCorps members in Michigan this year. The profile highlights where the members serve. The CNCS is also working on a city profile. AmeriCorps*VISTA issues an annual NOF A process. The CNCS State office will not be issuing a request for concept paper this year because they are at their resource maximum. There will be a VISTA PSO training (pre-service orientation) in Detroit in February for approximately 40 VISTA members. There will be approximately 70 summer associates which is a short term VISTA program (8-10 weeks). Cathy explained the CNCS has a new initiative, Mayors Day of Recognition, where Mayors will sign on to commit to acknowledging a National Day of Service in their city on April 9th. It can be a proclamation or an event. The Michigan City of Service Mayors have all signed on (Detroit, Flint, Grand Rapids, Kalamazoo, Muskegon). The Michigan Association of Mayors are meeting on April 9th so are hoping they will commit to doing something on that day. 6 �E. V. Partner Update- Diana Algra shared that Kyle Caldwell, former CEO ofthe Michigan Nonprofit Association, has moved on to the C.S. Mott Foundation. Kelley Kuhn will be the acting CEO until a replacement has been identified. New Business A. Mission Statement- Chair Bloodworth explained that the MCSC would like to update the mission statement. Draft MCSC Mission Statements were shared and Commissioners were asked for their feedback. Ms. VanDam shared that we wanted to Commissioners to have a discussion about the mission statement and to have a statement that is more in line with where we are today and the direction we are heading, including using the service as a strategy language because that is important. A subcommittee was set up with Commissioners Miles Wiles and David Price offering to serve on the committee. B. VI. Blue Cross Blue Shield - Commissioner Bob Kolt offered up an additional item on the agenda. He served as the Chair of AARP and the restructuring of Blue Cross Blue Shield was a major issue for them. Part of the restructuring included discussion around the nonprofit assets that they had. The idea was that a trust fund could be created (similar to the Natural Resource Trust Fund) in which money would be allocated to support seniors and youth (50% for senior support programs and 50% for youth initiatives). The Governor ended up vetoing the legislation. Bob feels that because the of the MCSC leadership role and the intention to focus on the big fix, that the MCSC should be part of the conversation around these public assets. Commissioner Collier explained that CMF has been involved in protecting the charitable assets. The focus is on creating a health endowment fund through the Health and Wellness Foundation. The MCSC could focus on the health aspect of volunteering when the Health Committee meets. Public Comment - Commissioner Collier suggested that we get Michigan Reading Corps on the agenda at the Governor' s Education Summit and also have AmeriCorps involved in education attend and talk about the value of AmeriCorps. Ms. VanDam shared that Jocelyn Vanda, the DHS representative that has been attending the MCSC Board meetings, retired in December.

The vision of this effort is to build a statewide initiative to help every child in Michigan be a successful reader by the 3rd grade. Overview The Michigan Reading Corps is an opportunity to use service as a strategy to "move the needle" on a specific social condition. Thirty-two percent of Michigan third graders are not reading at grade level. (The number rises to forty-five percent for disadvantaged children.) Across the nation , almost three-quarters (74 percent) of children who read poorly in third grade continue to read poorly in high school, making third grade reading proficiency a key predictor of high school drop-out rates. The Michigan Reading Corps will utilize the Minnesota Reading Corps' proven model, currently being implemented by the Heart of West Michigan United Way. This model involves engaging AmeriCorps members as reading tutors. With support from a Regional Master Literacy Coach and an in-school coach , each member spends 20 minutes every day practicing reading with 20 students. Impact and Efficiency The Reading Corps model is simple, research-based, and effective . In Minnesota: • Reading Corps members take students in danger of not reading at grade level and produce better results (80 percent proficient) than the statewide third grade population (78 percent) . • Children who graduate from the program are three times less likely to be placed in a Special Education program, resulting in nearly $9 million in projected annual savings . As with all Michigan AmeriCorps programs, the public private partnership generates impact and value. Sixty percent of the operating funds for the Michigan Reading Corps will come from the Corporation for National and Community Service. The cost of bringing one child up to 3rd grade reading level is $777 ($443 from the federal government and $334 required by the State). It is estimated that the average cost for a child in special education is three times that of the average pupil. Preventing two children from entering the special education rolls saves nearly enough money to provide match funding for three Michigan Reading Corps members. �Funding Request On November 1, a working group of Commissioners, staff and education experts met to explore the implementation of the Michigan Reading Corps. The strategy meeting generated these recommendations for your consideration : 1. The Heart of West Michigan United Way will serve as lead agency and fiduciary for the first three-year phase of the program , and will submit the application to MCSC. MCSC requested the Heart of West Michigan secure a board commitment to serve as lead agency for a statewide effort. This commitment has been obtained as well as a board resolution . For the first year application, HWMUW will request $1 ,012,500 to fund 75 full time AmeriCorps members in the AmeriCorps Competitive Process. 2. In order to have this program operational by September 2013, outreach and selection of schools and assignment of member slots needs to occur this spring . Unfortunately, the Corporation will not announce competitive funding decisions until June. As a result, the committee would like to recommend that the Commission guarantee $666 ,000 in formula funds for the Michigan Reading Corps in case it is not awarded competitive funds. If it is funded competitively, then the $660 ,000 of formula funds would be used to support other AmeriCorps applications. This approval will allow the program to proceed with some certainty on the selection of sites and the assignment of member slots in a timely manner. (As background information , our 2013-2014 estimated formula allocation is $3,398 ,510. Of this amount, at least $1,555,427 is obligated for the continuation of currently funded programs. Two million dollars are currently unobligated. The $660,000 would come from the $2 million .) 3. The Michigan Reading Corps program will be a signature program of the MCSC. Therefore, the MCSC will be involved in strategic decisions regarding alignment with other state initiatives, geographic areas served, overall growth , and assist with raising the required match dollars. Start-up match requirement estimates are $10,000 per AmeriCorps member. This will require state and private sources. Together, MCSC and United Way will pursue the projected match obligation of $2,250 ,000 for three years (with $500 ,000 to be secured by August 1, 2013) . .

Building on the work of the champions of effective volunteer engagement, Reimagining Service is a national coalition of multisector representatives from nonprofit organizations, government, education, faith-based, funders and corporations. We seek to increase the impact of volunteers through : PRACTICE: Inspiring organizations to leverage volunteers more fully and strategically, and engage volunteers as part of their core operations. RESEARCH: Supporting and disseminating research aimed at highlighting effective volunteer engagement practices and policies and their impact on the core mission of the organization . FUNDING: Engaging funders in recognizing that volunteerism and civic engagement are cost effective strategies that help community organizations accomplish their missions, and therefore merit their financial support. REIMAGINING SERVICE PRINCIPLES The Reimagining Service coalition has established four principles to guide its work: PRINCIPLE 1: The volunteer ecosystem is more effective when all sectors participate in its evolution. Volunteerism doesn't exist in a single sector and the responsibility of successful volunteer engagement resides beyond nonprofits alone. We are interdependent when it comes to this work and together we can increase the impact of volunteerism by working to improve the system across all sectors (i.e., nonprofit, private, faith-based, education, government). PRINCIPLE 2: Make volunteering a core strategic function, not an add-on. Volunteers fundamentally increase our ability to achieve our objectives and advance the social mission of our organizations. Engaging volunteers effectively can help an organization serve more people in the community as well as change the core economics of an organization , which can allow it to scale more quickly in a cost effective way. PRINCIPLE 3: Focus volunteer engagement on true community needs. Rather than responding to the supply of volunteers, identify key priorities in the community then purposefully seek out volunteers with the core skills needed to address those priorities. We should also strive to communicate the value of volunteers to the community by measuring their impact, not just the hours they serve. PRINCIPLE 4: In order to get a return, you have to invest. Organizations that make volunteers central to their work and manage them well are able to generate as much as three to six times the community value from volunteers as the cost to manage them. This is a smart way to maximize impact, but it requires up-front and ongoing financial investment in volunteer engagement in all sectors. And we need funders , who believe that funding volunteer engagement helps organizations achieve their broader social missions, to raise their voices so that the funding community can learn from their stories. Reimagining Service: Investing in Volunteer Capacity �REIMAGINING • SERVICE HELP YOUR GRANTEES DO MORE WITH YOUR INVESTMENT IN THEM. Research conducted by the TCC Group, a program and evaluation firm, shows that nonprofits that strategically leverage volunteers outperform their peers on all measures of organizational capacity and have greater impact. But less than 15 percent of nonprofits nationwide demonstrate these characteristics. Visit Reimaginingservice.org to download the research summary. CONVERTING GOOD INTENTIONS INTO GHEATEH IMPACT HOW MUCH IS ENOUGH? To leverage significant volunteer engagement, nonprofit organizations need to invest in recruitment, training, management and recognition -just as they would for qualified paid staff. Additionally, leaders of nonprofit organizations benefit from training on how to build volunteer programs best suited for their missions . But no matter the impact area, for every dollar a nonprofit spends on volunteers, they get a return . Reimagining Service has seen returns of three to six times the amount invested. How can your grantees be among them? Consider investing in their volunteer capacity. Funding volunteerism is not a program investment, but rather a cost-effective strategy to support the causes you already invest in . WHAT CAN FUNDERS DO? "Deploying large numbers of volunteers does n'ot necessarily translate into success for the nonprofit or the community. Rather, success results when an organization mobilizes and manages its volunteer resources for the greatest possible impact on a problem or need ." INFLUENCE THE FUNDING DIALOGUE: It's not about investing in a new cause; it's about supporting the cause you care about. Evern Cooper, Former President of UPS Foundation WHY SHOULD FUNDERS INVEST IN VOLUNTEER CAPACITY? • Volunteer engagement is a critical component in helping nonprofit organizations deliver on their core mission by boosting human capacity cost-effectively. • Funding volunteer capacity leverages your existing investments in the community-across all impact areas-and aligns with every type of grantmaking strategy. • Research shows nonprofits are stronger in all measures (leadership, management, sustainability, scaling, adaptability) when they successfully integrate and manage more than 50 volunteers throughout their organizations. SHIFT OUR CONTEXT: Effective engagement of volunteers is about achieving mission and making volunteerism core to a nonprofit's strategy, not about engaging volunteers as an after-thought. FUEL THE MULTIPLIER EFFECT: Well-supported volunteers can create significant value, but we have to invest in effective management to unleash this potential. HOW TO GET STARTED? • Fund a "volunteer management audit" to understand a nonprofit's current practices. • Convene dialogues to better understand your grantees' needs and challenges in effectively engaging volunteers. • Fund volunteer management positions. • Support training for capacity building and to improve volunteer management practices. • Provide funding to evaluate the impact of volunteers' activities, and to activate recommendations for improvement. • Make volunteer involvement, and demonstrated effective volunteer management practices, a condition for larger funding.

Lori Jewell State Farm Insurance Megan Johnson Charles Stewart Molt Foundation Robert Kolt Kolt Communications Michael Lavoie Butzel Long Law Janet Lawson Ford Motor Company The Corporation for National and Community Service at the federal level has a pool of funds reserved for state and national grants, referred to as "competitive." CNCS also provides an earmarked pool of funds to each state, referred to as "formula," which is distributed to state commissions based on population. The MCSC conducts one application process annually to solicit grants for competitive and formula funding. Fred Mester Fred M Mester P. C. Law Donna Niester James C. Acheson Foundation Acheson Ventures David Price MARO Employment & Training Association Larry Romanelli LJttle River Band of Ottawa Indians The MCSC conducted an extensive outreach process with three in-person sessions in Flint, Kalamazoo, and Lansing, as well as two virtual sessions open to anyone in Michigan. The MCSC received 27 applications as a result of this process, some from existing grantees (called "recompeting" applicants) and some from organizations who have not received funding from the MCSC (called "new" applicants). Marsha Smith Rotary Charities of Traverse City Jerry Swartz Lansing Schools Education Association John Truscott Truscott Rossman Ella Kate Wagner Youth Commissioner Judy Watson-Olson Great Lakes Center for Youth Development Larry Williamson Those 27 applications have gone through a comprehensive, two-part review process, which took place in November, 2012. Part one is the "peer review" process. The MCSC recruited and trained a group of individuals who possess expertise, knowledge, and experience in the strategic focus areas of the CNCS and MCSC and/or National Service programs. Peer reviewers read and scored applications as individuals and were then convened for in-person, small group discussion, which was facilitated by MCSC staff. Peer review Comcast Cable E. Miles Wilson Johnson Center for Philanthropy 1 �groups then provided feedback on all applications and made recommendations to MCSC staff. Part two is the "staff review" process, in which all MCSC staff review and score applications that were moved forward from step one. As individuals, MCSC staff read and score applications, and are then convened into small groups for discussion and to determine which applicants will be invited to move on to the next stage of the process. Applicants receive feedback, make edits to their applications, and re-submit their applications. Fourteen (14) applications are being recommended for new "competitive" funding as a result of this extensive review process. The staff used to the following criteria to determine which applications should be included in our competitive application: 1) overall quality of the application, 2) alignment with the CNCS funding priorities and tiers, and 3) size of the request. Following board approval, these applications will be submitted to CNCS to compete with other state and national grants from around the country. Three (3) applications are being recommended to be considered for "formula" funding, along with any of the 14 applications that are not successful in the national competition. Ten (10) applications are not being recommended for funding based on the quality ofthe application, lack of alignment with funding priorities, and/or duplication of another program. In addition to the 27 "new" and "recompete" applications, the MCSC also received 7 "continuation" applications. "Continuation" applications are submitted by existing grantees that are in year one or two of their three-year grant from the MCSC and are seeking funding renewal for another year. Three (3) of those grantees are funded through competitive funding, and four (4) are funded through formula funding. AmeriCorps Competitive Application Package Background The Michigan Community Service Commission (MCSC) AmeriCorps competitive package is due to the Corporation for National and Community Service (CNCS) on February 6, 2013 and includes 13 new/recompete applications and 3 continuation applications. In this year' s national competition, CNCS seeks to prioritize investment of national service resources in the following areas: economic opportunity, education, veterans and military families, disaster services, and the Governor and Mayor Initiative. CNCS will give priority consideration to applications that address these issues in the following tiers, in descending order of preference: Tier 1: Programs that select CNCS PrioritY Measures in the following areas: 2 �• • • • • Tier 2: • • • • • Education programs that operate in School Investment Grants schools or high priority schools as deemed by the State education agency; Veterans and Military Families; Disaster Services; Economic Opportunity programs focused on financial literacy, high school diploma/GED completion, and supporting the transition of individuals into the workforce; and, Governor and Mayor Initiatives. Programs that select CNCS Priority Measures in the following areas: Education programs that do not operate in SIG I State priority schools; Environmental Stewardship; Healthy Futures; Economic Opportunity programs that focus on supporting economically disadvantaged individuals transition into safe, affordable housing; and, Capacity Building. Tier 3: Programs in all Focus Areas that select Complementary National Performance Measures. Tier 4: Programs in all Focus Areas with self-nominated measures.

Heart of West Michigan United Way- Michigan Reading Corps (Tier 1) Counties Served: Statewide Recommended: $1 ,012,500 Learning to read by grade 3 is a critical benchmark that marks the shift from students learning to read to students reading to learn. Students who do not read proficiently by grade 3 are four times more likely than proficient readers to drop out of high school. Further, after grade 3, research fmdings indicate that it is more difficult to bring children to reading profiCiency or to teach them the increasingly complex, multidisciplinary 5 �information introduced in grades 4 and beyond. Despite that, 42,554 of Michigan (MI) third graders are not reading at grade level. (MI Department of Education) Michigan Reading Corps (MiRC) is a local affiliate of Minnesota Reading Corps (MnRC). The MiRC will place 75 AmeriCorps members in elementary schools across Michigan. Throughout this grant period, the MiRC will be supported and mentored by MnRC in managing, training and deploying members; implementing evidence-based interventions; monitoring for fidelity; measuring impact; and developing an effective plan for sustainability. The proposed MiRC builds on MnRC's demonstrated impact on students, schools, members and communities. Over three years, the MiRC will provide literacy interventions to 9,000 students resulting in their being verified as on track to becoming proficient readers by grade 3.

Robert Kolt Koft Communications Michael Lavoie Butzel Long Law Janet Lawson Ford Motor Company Fred Mester The meeting was called to order at 10:00 a.m. Members present: Carolyn Bloodworth, Rob Collier, and Donna Niester. Guests included Diana Algra and Rachel Bruns. Staff present: Paula Kaiser VanDam, Janice Harvey, and Garry Gross. Fred M. Mester P.C. Law Donna Niester James C. Acheson Foundation Acheson Ventures David Price MARO Employment & Training Association Larry Romanelli Little River Band of Ottawa Indians Marsha Smith Rotary Charities of Traverse City Jerry Swartz Lansing Schools Education Association John Truscott Truscott Rossman Ella Kate Wagner Youth Commissioner Judy Watson-Olson Great Lakes Center for Youth Development Larry Williamson Comcast Cable E. Miles Wilson Johnson Center for Philanthropy State Service Plan Ms. VanDam shared a draft outline ofthe Michigan State Service Plan. The MCSC has contracted with Rachel Bruns (Volunteer Wisconsin) to facilitate the development of the Michigan State Service Plan. We are also working with our partners (Michigan Nonprofit Association, Michigan Campus Compact, The LEAGUE of Michigan, and Volunteer Centers of Michigan) to have a comprehensive plan. The plan outlines priorities for the MCSC and the implementation of those priority areas with partner organizations. Key focus areas include economic opportunity, education, veterans and military families, disaster preparedness, and serving underserved areas of the state. There will be four strategic priority areas. We will take into account MCSC capacity due to staffing/funding and will also designate whether the MCSC or partners will be responsible for action and measurements for each of the areas. We hope to have �• the plan finalized by late May/early June then are required by the Serve America Act to obtain the Governor's approval on the plan. Statewide Volunteer Campaign Through funding from the Volunteer Generation Fund and the CMA Endowment, the MCSC is partnering with Volunteer Centers of Michigan and other MNA affiliates to launch a statewide volunteer campaign that will also include the launch ofthe statewide portal. A public relations firm has been selected to assist with the campaign, Red Head Design. Commissioner Bob Kolt is also serving as an advisor to the campaign. MCSC Executive Director Search The Executive Director position was posted and the MCSC received 94 applications. The applications were reviewed and seven candidates will be interviewed. Commissioners Carolyn Bloodworth, Diana Algra and Miles Wilson will serve on the selection panel. CNCS Update Ms. VanDam gave an update on the FY13 budget. The Continuing Resolution (CR) ends March 27 and it is expected that the CR will carry through the full year. State Commissions took a cut to admin from $13 million to $12.6 million and the PDAT and Disability funding has been cut 50% since FY11. The MCSC is in a unique position as the Executive Director and Executive Secretary positions have been vacant which has freed up a significant amount of federal admin funding . The MCSC will not have a funding issue for FY13 but will need to work on FY14 to fix the Commission line item for admin. Sequestration will not immediately affect currently funded MCSC programs as they are funded with FY12 dollars so there will not be any mid-year adjustments. The MCSC may have to make adjustments in the fall to program funding once we receive our formula funding allocation in May/June. The MCSC has typically received $500,000 to $1 million in supplemental AmeriCorps funding but that funding may not be available this year. The Volunteer Generation Fund (VGF) is currently in the third year of a 3-year grant. The President has zeroed out VGF funding in his FY13 budget so we are unsure if this program will be funded again. Michigan's VGF funding ends this fall. AmeriCorps - School Turnaround - Ms. VanDam shared information on a new CNCS funding opportunity. The CNCS is working with federal agencies to support AmeriCorps and will be working with the U.S . Department of Education to use AmeriCorps as a strategy for school turnaround. They will be granting out $5 million through AmeriCorps to School Improvement Grantees (SIG) or priority schools with an embedded turnaround strategy (minimum of20 members). The MCSC has promoted the opportunity and will be accepting proposals. There may be more opportunities for specialized funding in the future with little notice and/or little turn-around time. The MCSC will draft a policy for the board to enact to deviate from traditional grant making process for opportunities around key strategic areas . The Governor met with CNCS CEO Wendy Spencer in February at the National Governor' s Association meeting. The Governor is interested in national service and feels that it could play a role in addressing some of the challenges in Detroit. He also invited Wendy to Michigan. �• The CNCS is working with Mayors to create the Mayor' s Day of Recognition (April 9th) of national service. The Cities of Service Mayors in Michigan have signed on to support the initiative. The CNCS State Office will take the lead on the initiative with support from the MCSC. Governor 's Service Awards We have received 144 Governor' s Service Awards nominations. The peer review will take place on April 11 and then the GSA Committee will approve the finalists/winners prior to sending them to the Governor' s Office for approval. A chair (hopefully from the Grand Rapids area) needs to be identified for the GSA Committee. MCSC Board Retreat The MCSC Board Retreat will take place on August 28-29 in South Haven. Chair Bloodworth will ask Commissioners to serve on the planning committee. Giving & Volunteering Celebration I MCSC Board Meeting - April 24 The Giving & Volunteering Celebration will take place on April 24 at the Capitol. Commissioners are encouraged to attend the event which will take place prior to the board meeting. Commissioners discussed the April board meeting agenda and approved a new consent agenda.

The Quality Mentoring System provides mentoring programs with intensive support and technical assistance to improve their program, provide higher-quality services, and serve more mentors and youth. MENTOR and state mentoring partnerships believe that, in the face of uneven practice, we should be collectively dedicated to this work. Since research and experience dictate that quality practices drive quality outcomes for youth, the Quality Mentoring System can improve the quality and quantity of mentoring opportunities for young people. MENTOR and state partnerships have seen tremendous interest in this effort from funders and providers alike. Massachusetts and Minnesota have fully vetted, planned, and implemented local systems for Quality-Based Mentoring. To move the field to a unified approach on this issue, MENTOR is now playing a coordinating role among the other state programs. Through the Phase One pilot, six mentoring partnerships (Connecticut; Michigan; Nebraska; Oregon; Virginia; and Washington) have been selected to utilize the Quality Mentoring Assessment Path (QMAP) developed by the Mentoring Partnership of Minnesota or the Quality-Based Membership (QBM) tool utilized by Mass Mentoring Partnership. Participation has been evenly divided between the two systems. The goal of the pilot is to have the first wave of mentoring partnerships implement the selected system, offer assessments and fundamentally incorporate this into their work to help inform a national model. Integration of research and evaluation into this project will ensure that mentoring partnerships have evidence-based indicators of success in processes and outcomes. After months of planning and coordination at the national level, work in Michigan and the other five pilot states listed above is now underway. We are currently collecting baseline information on our pilot programs for the evaluation process and will soon begin the assessment process. Michigan Pilot Programs will include Bethany Christian Services, VIP Mentoring, and MSU Extension Tech Wizards. Mentor Michigan will complete the QBM process with the three pilot programs this summer. Once the pilot process is complete, we will begin the open up the process to other mentoring programs. Through the pilot process we will learn how quickly we can move other programs through the process. Regional Meetings In the fall of 2013 , Mentor Michigan will host a series of four or five one-day regional meetings around the state. These meetings will be modeled after regional meetings that Mentor Michigan held in 2005 . The morning will portion ofthe meetings will provide an overview of the Quality Mentoring System and other updates for the mentoring field. In the afternoon, each regional meeting will host professional development sessions based on the needs of the region. The Providers Council will be leading the planning efforts for these meetings. These regional meetings will take the place of the annual statewide mentoring conference. The next statewide mentoring conference will be held in the fall of 20 14 and we will be moving to hosting the conference on an every-other-year basis. We also plan to continue to host the regional meetings on the off years ofthe statewide conference. �Mentor Michigan- DNR Mini-Grant Update The Michigan Department ofNatural Resources (DNR), Fisheries Division, held an employee silent auction in December 2012 with the proceeds benefitting Mentor Michigan. The group raised $3 ,340 which Mentor Michigan offered to mentoring programs across the state in the form of mini -grants.

The 2013 AmeriCorps Week, which took place March 12-19, was a tremendous success with hundreds of individuals participating in several events throughout the state. AmeriCorps Week is a national recruitment and recognition event designed to bring more Americans into service, salute AmeriCorps members and alums for their powerful impact, and thank the community partners who make AmeriCorps possible. To add to the excitement to the week, Governor Snyder issued an official proclamation declaring it AmeriCorps Week in Michigan. A variety of activities took place throughout the week, including the second annual Michigan' s AmeriCorps Week Twitter Chat and multiple service projects and outreach events. School Turnaround AmeriCorps Initiative In late February, the MCSC received notification from the Corporation for National and Community Service (CNCS) that $5 million was being made available to organizations wishing to host an AmeriCorps program as part of CNCS ' s new School Turnaround initiative. The School Turnaround AmeriCorps initiative is a collaborative effort by CNCS and the U.S. Department of Education to increase educational achievement, high school graduation rates, and college readiness for students in our nation's lowest-performing elementary, middle, and high schools. The MCSC received two grant applications, which are still being reviewed. The funding recommendation will be presented at the April board meeting. Michigan Reading Corps Update After receiving the support of the full board at the January board meeting, plans for the Michigan Reading Corps (MiRC) are progressing quickly. Selection of school sites and AmeriCorps member recruitment is underway for the 2013-14 school year. A proposal for match funding has been submitted to the Michigan Department of Education. Another proposal will be submitted to the Kellogg Foundation. AmeriCorps 2013-2014 Funding Application Process Competitive applications are currently under review by the Corporation for National and Community Service. The AmeriCorps application review process includes a clarification period that will take place from May 6-22. We expect funding decisions to be announced in early June 2013 and grants to be awarded shortly thereafter. Once the competitive process has been completed, the MCSC will make decisions about formula funding. AmeriCorps Program Site Visits Program officers are currently conducting program monitoring site visits with all 23 AmeriCorps programs. A typical site visit consists of 1-2 days of interviews with the program director, members, site supervisors, and executive directors/administrators, as well as observation of program activities and review of member files . These visits are followed by comprehensive written feedback. Michigan's AmeriCorps Inclusion Photo and Video Contest The Michigan's AmeriCorps Inclusion Photo & Video contest was created to encourage AmeriCorps members and/or AmeriCorps program sites to capture a photo and/or produce a video to document and display how Michigan's AmeriCorps programs promote, embrace, and incorporate the MCSC mission of inclusion within their respective service areas. All photos and videos will be judged by members of the MCSC Statewide Inclusion Team. The winner ofthe photo contest will receive an AmeriCorps Prize Pack and the winner of the �• video contest will receive a $100 Meijer gift card. Winners will be announced during this year's Russ Mawby Signature Service Project on May 16, 2013 . Other submissions will be highlighted through the MCSC website . SAVE-THE-DATE: 2013 Russ Maw by Signature Service Project On Thursday, May 16 and Friday, May 17 more than 350 Michigan' s AmeriCorps members from across the state will come together in Lansing for the annual Russ Mawby Signature Service Project.

Welcome and Introductions- Chair Bloodworth welcomed Commissioners at 12:10 pm. MEA President Steve Cook welcomed Commissioners to their offices. Chair Bloodworth explained that beginning with the April MCSC Board Meeting, we will be moving to a consent agenda. II. Review & Approval ofNovember 17, 2012 Minutes- Chair Bloodworth asked for a motion to approve the minutes from the November 17, 2012 MCSC board meeting. Commissioner Price motioned to approve the minutes; Commissioner Lawson seconded the motion. The motion passed unanimously. III. Standing Committee Reports A. Executive Committee- Minutes from January 9, 2013 Meeting. Chair Bloodworth asked for a motion to approve the Executive Committee minutes from January 9, 2013. Commissioner Lawson motioned to approve the minutes; Commissioner Niester seconded the motion. The motion passed unanimously. IV. Executive Director Report- Paula Kaiser VanDam MCSC Staff Transition- Ms. VanDam shared with Commissioners that she has permanently been named the Director of the Bureau of Community Service so we will begin the process of hiring a new Executive Director for the MCSC. The posting for the position has been shared through our network in Michigan and also nationally. A few Commissioners will be asked to participate in the selection panel/interview process for the new Executive Director. The MCSC will remain an initiative of the Bureau so Paula won't be so closely involved in the day-to-day operations of the MCSC she will be involved in the strategic way of advancing the work with the Department of Human Services and the Governor' s administration. This should expand the capacity ofthe MCSC once we hire the new Executive Director. Commissioners recognized Paula for her many years of service to the MCSC. A. B. Program Updates 1. Ameri Corps - Staff recommendations for Michigan' s Ameri Corps competitive funding were presented to Commissioners. Jeanine Yard and Ben Gulker walked through the application process and the recommendations. The MCSC received 27 applications from existing grantees and new applicants. The applications went through a two-step review process; first a peer review and then a staff review. The CNCS focus areas for funding which include education, health, economic opportunity, environment, veterans and their families , and disaster preparedness. There are two types of AmeriCorps funding- competitive and formula. Fourteen applications are being recommended for competitive funding (new and recompetes ), three applications are being recommended to be considered for formula funding along with any of the 14 applications that are not successful in competitive funding, and 10 applications are not being recommended for funding. In additional to the 27 new and recompete applications, the MCSC also received 7 continuation applications, which are grantees that are in year one or two of their three-year grant and are seeking funding for another year. 2 �Ben Gulker presented the AmeriCorps Competitive Application new and recompete staff recommendations. (see January 17, 2013 memo from Paula Kaiser VanDam). Chair Bloodworth asked for a motion to approve the staff recommendations for the AmeriCorps Competitive funding. Commissioner Algra motioned to approve the staff recommendations; Commissioner Lawson seconded the motion. The motion passed unanimously with the following Commissioners abstaining: David Price (Peckham, Goodwill, MNA), Breannah Alexander (MNA), Diana Algra, (MNA), Tony Campbell (Heart of West Michigan United Way), Rob Collier (Michigan Association of United Way and MNA), Carolyn Bloodworth (MNA). Commissioners requested information on grantee past performance in the staff recommendations for funding. The CNCS will notify the MCSC in May/June with the programs that will be funding competitively. Once we receive that notification, the MCSC will prepare the formula funding recommendations for Commissioner approval. Megan Sargent shared additional AmeriCorps updates. The AmeriCorps LeaderCorps retreat will take place in late January. The LeaderCorps is comprised of one member from each program who serves as a liaison between the program and the MCSC. There are three leadership teams: Outreach and Communications, Alumni and Member Engagement, and Diversity and Inclusion. This year the LeaderCorps will focus on alumni and member experience. They are also champions for AmeriCorps in general and help connect members from their programs to members from other programs. AmeriCorps Week will be March 9-17 and is an opportunity to shine the light on what AmeriCorps members are doing. Michigan' s AmeriCorps programs will plan awareness and recognition events along with service projects during this week. It is also a good opportunity to education legislators. Commissioners are also invited to attend events that take place during that week in their communities. The 2013 Russ Mawby Signature Service Project will be held May 16-17 in Lansing. The MCSC brings AmeriCorps members from around the state together for this two-day service project which is a good way showcase the power of AmeriCorps. We will holding the kickoff event on the steps of the Capitol. Commissioner Mike Hill updated Commissioners on Michigan Reading Corps. He thanked Commissioners Tony Campbell and Julie Calley for their leadership on this initiative. Thirty-two percent of Michigan third graders are not reading at grade level. Third grade reading proficiency is a key indicator of high school drop-out rates. The Heart of West Michigan United Way is a pilot site for the program in Michigan. The MCSC is looking at developing a three-year program. The Heart of West Michigan United Way would serve as the fiscal agency . There would be an RFP process for schools/buildings to apply to participate. We are looking at 75 AmeriCorps members in the first year that will be coached on how to tutor young children in literacy. They would work with at-risk children for 20 minutes every day. The MCSC has requested just over $1 million in our 3 �AmeriCorps Competitive application for Michigan Reading Corps (Heart of West Michigan United Way). We would like to launch this during the 2013-14 school year so will need the 75 AmeriCorps members ready to start. The challenge is that the MCSC will not hear back on the competitive funding request until June. That will make the launch in August/September very tight. The Michigan Reading Corps Commissioner Advisory Committee is recommending the Commission designate $666,000 in formula funds for Michigan Reading Corps in case it is not awarded competitive funds. Ifthe program is funded competitively, then the $660,000 of formula funds would be used to support other AmeriCorps formula applications. This approval will allow the program to proceed with the selection of sites and assignment of member slots to be able to begin in September. Commissioner Hill stated that the Advisory Committee will be meeting with Superintendent Mike Flanagan in February to share information on the Michigan Reading Corps along with a meeting with DHS Director Maura Corrigan. We are also discussing ways to raise the required match dollars. Startup match requirement estimates are $10,000 per AmeriCorps member. We know schools are not in the position to pay $10,000 per member. They will make a contribution to the program through in-kind by providing a staff member who will serve as an internal coach to the members in their building and will be working with those members on an on-going basis in coaching them in their tutoring and problem solving skills. The MCSC will be strategic in choosing the geographic areas served, overall growth, and assist with raising the required match dollars. Where we can raise the match dollars may impact where the program will be in the first couple ofyears because funders may have specific geographic interests. Ms. VanDam stated that in order to demonstrate the value of the MCSC and the power of national service, it is going to be really important for us to think critically about a critical issue that we want to use the resources that we have to make a difference and to be able to demonstrate that. The last couple of years, the small amount of general funds that the MCSC receives (approximately $700,000 has been called into question from the legislature. We are at a critical point that we have to be able to demonstrate the value of the MCSC and particularly what we do around critical issues in our state. Funding a model like the Minnesota Reading Corps, which has been in existence for 10 years and has great data to show the difference they are making, will give us the data to demonstrate the value of national service around a particular issue. Chair Bloodworth asked for a motion to approve the Commissioner recommendation for supporting Michigan Reading Corps with $660,000 in formula funding if it is not funded competitively. Commissioner Smith motioned to approve the recommendation; Commissioner Lawson seconded the motion. The motion passed unanimously with Breannah Alexander and Tony Campbell abstaining. 2. Mentor Michigan - Amber Troupe shared updates on Mentor Michigan. The DNR Fisheries Division employees hosted a silent auction with the proceeds donated to Mentor Michigan. The funds will be distributed through mini-grants to mentoring organizations to do fishing-related activities including transportation to fishing events or to purchase fishing poles to have at their office that 4 �mentee/mentor matches can borrow for a match activity. She also shared that the National Mentoring Summit will take place on January 24-25 in Washington DC. The Lt. Governor Brian Calley and Commissioner Julie Calley will join the Michigan delegation, including Paula and Amber, at the Summit. He will speak during a plenary session to highlight the importance of men to ring and the great work we are doing in Michigan. Also, January is National and Michigan Mentoring Month. Mentor Michigan has provided the field with a variety of tools and resources to promote mentoring and recruitment event mini-grants. Nearly $10,000 was awarded to 19 organizations to support mentor recruitment events. 3. Volunteer Michigan - Ms. VanDam shared that Angelia Salas, the MCSC program officer for Volunteer Michigan, has left the MCSC staff for another position. We have made the strategic decision to not replace this position immediately until we see how the federal appropriations play out. In the interim Diana Algra and the Volunteer Centers of Michigan, who have been an important partner in this work, will take on some additional responsibilities, specifically related to the Volunteer Generation Fund Grant. We will also expand the work of Bob Kahle, the evaluator for this initiative, to take on some of the site visit work. The MCSC and partners will promote MLK Day and will award 21 grants (approximately $8,000) to organizations that will coordinate service projects. There are 44 registered service projects for MLK Day. DHS Director Corrigan will participate in a project hosted by one of our AmeriCorps programs in Detroit. Commissioner Algra updated Commissioners on the Reimaging Service initiative which is looking increasing the social impact of effective volunteer engagement and increasing the impact of volunteers through practice, research, and funding. The Michigan partners are trying to bring the model (created in California) to Michigan and using the curriculum to train nonprofits in how to effectively engage volunteers. The training is not on volunteer management and best practices, it is on training nonprofits to understand in engaging volunteers as a central focus of that agency' s work. There will be a national rollout of this work with an RFP process to State Commissions and other affiliates interested in the implementation of this initiative. Ms. VanDam also shared that there is a possibility that the MCSC will need to raise funds to support this initiative and there is not funds available in the MCSC and VCM budget to support it. Ms. VanDam also shared information on this year' s Giving and Volunteering Celebration which will take place on Wednesday, April24, on the lawn of the State Capitol. The event is held during National Volunteer Week. During the event the key partners (MCSC, MNA, CMF, VCM, MCC, CNCS and The LEAGUE Michigan) will bring awareness and recognition of the impact that volunteering is having in our state. We will also unveil the first Michigan Civic Health Index Report and will do a call to action as a result of some of the indicators from the report. We will also be recognizing an AmeriCorps Alumn and Senior Corps volunteer. The State of Michigan Social Media office approached the MCSC in rolling out a statewide social media "pay it forward" campaign called #MiGoodDeeds and will encourage people to volunteer. 5 �We convinced them to launch in April during the Giving and Volunteering event. Recourses will be available to find information on volunteering, and we will be profiling the Governor' s Service Awards finalists, Global Youth Service Awards, and then conclude with our Signature Service Project in May. 4. Governor' s Service Awards - Ms. VanDam explained that the nomination forms have been distributed for the 2013 Governor's Service Awards and are due March 1. The Executive Committee requested that the event be moved to a different location as it is been in Detroit for the past three years. The 2013 event will be held in Grand Rapids at the Meijer Gardens at the end of July. We will begin the fundraising for the event and will do additional outreach to organizations in Grand Rapids since the event will be there this year. Commissioners will be asked to assist with the fundraising . There was one change to the Corporate category. The rule has been that once you have won an award in a category, you cannot win again in that category. After some feedback from some corporations, the Executive Committee has changed the policy to allow Corporations to win again as long as they haven' t won in the last 5 years. C. Financial Report- Garry Gross shared the financial statement for FY13 first quarter. The MCSC is waiting to see how VGF funding will be and whether there will be disability and PDAT funding. Fortunately we have some carry over of our federal funds from past years which will help carry us through this year. D. CNCS/National Service Update 1. Funding Update- Ms. VanDam explained that we are still operating under a Continuing Resolution (CR). If there is a CR for the rest of the fiscal year, this could hurt the MCSC because last year state commissions took a cut in terms of the overall appropriation for state commission admin. Then if the sequestering hits, it would be an additional 7-8% cut for commissions. The MCSC has some unspent carry over federal dollars due to some of the staff transitions last year so should be fine this year. 2. CNCS Update- Cathy Sharp shared the CNCS Michigan profile with Commissioners. There are more than 7,700 Senior Corps members and 1,800 AmeriCorps members in Michigan this year. The profile highlights where the members serve. The CNCS is also working on a city profile. AmeriCorps*VISTA issues an annual NOF A process. The CNCS State office will not be issuing a request for concept paper this year because they are at their resource maximum. There will be a VISTA PSO training (pre-service orientation) in Detroit in February for approximately 40 VISTA members. There will be approximately 70 summer associates which is a short term VISTA program (8-1 0 weeks). Cathy explained the CNCS has a new initiative, Mayors Day of Recognition, where Mayors will sign on to commit to acknowledging a National Day of Service in their city on April 9th. It can be a proclamation or an event. The Michigan City of Service Mayors have all signed on (Detroit, Flint, Grand Rapids, Kalamazoo, Muskegon). The Michigan Association of Mayors are meeting on April 9th so are hoping they will cori:rmit to doing something on that day . 6 �E. V. Partner Update- Diana Algra shared that Kyle Caldwell, former CEO of the Michigan Nonprofit Association, has moved on to the C.S. Mott Foundation. Kelley Kuhn will be the acting CEO until a replacement has been identified. New Business A. Mission Statement- Chair Bloodworth explained that the MCSC would like to update the mission statement. Draft MCSC Mission Statements were shared and Commissioners were asked for their feedback. Ms. VanDam shared that we wanted to Commissioners to have a discussion about the mission statement and to have a statement that is more in line with where we are today and the direction we are heading, including using the service as a strategy language because that is important. A subcommittee was set up with Commissioners Miles Wiles and David Price offering to serve on the committee. B. VI. Blue Cross Blue Shield - Commissioner Bob Kolt offered up an additional item on the agenda. He served as the Chair of AARP and the restructuring of Blue Cross Blue Shield was a major issue for them. Part of the restructuring included discussion around the nonprofit assets that they had. The idea was that a trust fund could be created (similar to the Natural Resource Trust Fund) in which money would be allocated to support seniors and youth (50% for senior support programs and 50% for youth initiatives). The Governor ended up vetoing the legislation. Bob feels that because the of the MCSC leadership role and the intention to focus on the big fix, that the MCSC should be part of the conversation around these public assets. Commissioner Collier explained that CMF has been involved in protecting the charitable assets. The focus is on creating a health endowment fund through the Health and Wellness Foundation. The MCSC could focus on the health aspect of volunteering when the Health Committee meets. Public Comment - Commissioner Collier suggested that we get Michigan Reading Corps on the agenda at the Governor's Education Summit and also have ArneriCorps involved in education attend and talk about the value of AmeriCorps. Ms. VanDam shared that Jocelyn Yanda, the DHS representative that has been attending the MCSC Board meetings, retired in December.

State Service Plan- Ms. VanDam explained that the MCSC is required by federal statue to develop a State Service Plan every three years that talks about the overall goals around service. The MCSC has enlisted Rachel Bruns, from Volunteer Wisconsin and an ASC board member, to help facilitate the development of Michigan's State Service Plan. She has helped Iowa and Wisconsin draft their plans. · The plan will he a representative plan for Michigan that -indudesnot only the MCSC but also all the partners. Ms. Bruns presented the plan to Commissioners. Strategic priority areas include developing new service opportunities, improving existing services and programs, expanding Michigan ' s volunteer base, and building a culture and climate for service. Commissioners will give final approval of the plan at the August MCSC board meeting. B. Michigan Civic Health Index -Ilir Zherka, National Conference on Citizenship, shared information studies on civic engagement and economic vitality. When looking at civic engagement nationwide, they focused on nonprofit density and social cohesion. Jamie Wilson shared key findings from the Michigan Civic Health Index which was released today at the Giving & Volunteering Celebration. C.

D. Russ Mawby Signature Service Project - Ms. VanDam shared information on the 2013 Russ Mawby Signature Service Project which will take place May 16-17 in Lansing. More than 350 ArneriCorps members from across the state will participate. Ms. VanDam thanked Commissioner Swartz for his efforts in helping to plan the community projects. Commissioners are encouraged to attend. E. Reimagining Service -Diana Algra updated Commissioners on the Reimagining Service initiative. The Points of Light is the lead organization for the initiative. They have released a request for proposal that the partners are going to respond to and hope to be one of the eight pilot sites selected. 2 �IV. AmeriCorps Funding- Paula Kaiser VanDam presented the staffrecommendations for School Turnaround AmeriCorps Funding. (see April 24, 2013 memo from Paula Kaiser VanDam). In late February, the CNCS, in partnership with the U .S. Department of Education, announced the Department of Education had allocated $5 million to fund AmeriCorps programs that focused on school turnaround. The MCSC staff created a request for proposal and received two applications, The Detroit Parent Network and the ·Education Achievement Authority (EAA). After discussions with EAA, they decided to move forward with the Michigan Reading Corps AmeriCorps program instead of this opportunity. The MCSC staff is recommending the Detroit Parent Network for School Turnaround AmeriCorps funding at $318,784 for 24 members. If this program doesn' t get funded through this special opportunity, it will not be funded through the formula funding process due to the timing of the notification. Chair Bloodworth asked for a motion to approve the staff recommendations for the AmeriCorps School Turnaround funding. Commissioner Collier motioned to approve the staff recommendations; Commissioner Algra seconded the motion. The motion passed unanimously with Commissioner Alexander abstaining. V. Michigan Reading Corps- Commissioner Tony Campbell updated Commissioners on Michigan Reading Corps. The data for the two pilot sites for this year is showing that 80% of the students being tutored are now reading at grade level. The districts have become a huge supporter of the program and are sharing their feedback with other districts. School recruitment is moving forward with packets being distributed to school districts and superintendents and webinars being held. There were visits to Flint, Kalkaska, Lansing and Muskegon. We currently have 11 applications from schools. We need help with getting schools in Flint, Jackson, Pontiac and Saginaw which are key communities. Member recruitment is currently taking place and to date there are 145 candidates that are interested in serving as a member. Financial resources include projected resources from DHS through Pathways ($300,000), W .K. Kellogg Foundation ($200,000), Steelcase Foundation ($100,000), Lansing United Way ($30,000), and Muskegon United Way ($30,000). VI. Governor' s Service Awards - Janice Harvey updated Commissioners on the 2013 event. The nomination process began in January and 144 nominations were submitted. The peer review has taken place and the 40 finalists have been selected. Fundraising proposals and letters have been sent. A list of potential sponsors was shared and Commissioners are encouraged to contact them to ask them to sponsor. Our fundraising goal is $125 ,000. VII. CNCS Funding Update - Ms. VanDam shared the President released his FY14 budget and the CNCS has a $5 million increase overall. The Volunteer Generation Fund is in the budget at $10 million (which was zeroed out in FY13 budget). State commission' s administrative grants increased over $1 million but are still down from where we were in FY11. When you combine it with the cuts that states received from training dollars and the elimination of the disability and inclusion funding , state commission funding will be down in overall operations funding. 3 �VIII. CNCS Update- Cathy Sharp shared that Senior Corps week is May 6-10. Senior Corps organizations are planning events that week and have a proclamation from the Governor. CNCS is conducting a national volunteer survey of Senior Corps members to measure the benefits of volunteering and how volunteering has helped their health. AmeriCorps VISTA is receiving concept papers for summer associates. Michigan will have 63 summer associates serving at the United Way of Southeast Michigan and other locations throughout the state. The first Mayors Day of Recognition ofNational Service took place on April 91h. We had 13 mayors in Michigan participate either through proclamations or attending events. Cathy thanked the MCSC staff for their help with the Lansing and Grand Rapids events. There were also events in Kalamazoo, Flint and Detroit. IV. Other Business A. Mission Statement- Chair Bloodworth explained that the MCSC would like to update the mission statement. Commissioners would like to use "service as a strategy" in the mission statement. Two draft MCSC Mission Statements were shared and Commissioners were asked for their feedback. Commissioners liked the following statement but would like some additional changes to strengthen it: The Michigan Community Service Commission promotes and encourages volunteer service as a means to strengthen communities and address the state' s most pressing issues. Commissioner ·Swartz made a motion to support the ·statement with changes and to have staff rework the statement and share with Commissioners; Commissioner Algra supported the motion. The motion passed unanimously. Staff will make changes to the statement and share at the next meeting. X.

As a local affiliate of the Minnesota Reading Corps, this program builds on their demonstrated impact on students, schools, AmeriCorps members and communities . In 2013-2014, Michigan Reading Corps will place between 50 and 75 Reading Corps members in over 20 schools throughout the state. They will serve students in grades K-3 who are identified as being at-risk of reading failure . Based on this analysis, MiRC has identified its program participants as Tier II , or children who have the capacity to learn to read at grade level but who experience more prolonged , intense, and often permanent literacy struggles and would benefit from these timely and effective data-driven interventions. Over the school year, program participants will receive 20 minutes of one-on-one literacy tutoring five days Tier 1 per week . Working closely with building reading experts, Reading Corps members will work to isolate a child 's specific skill challenges and tailor Figure 1: Students served fall in Tier 2- not at the level of their tutoring to effectively build the literacy skills core instruction (Tier 1) but not in need of intensive needed by each child . The model includes 10 intervention (Tier 3). research-based , scripted , and standardized interventions that focus on fluency to build specific skills in young readers. AmeriCorps members will provide ongoing support until the child acquires key literacy skills that place him or her on track to achieve proficiency by grade 3, at which time the student will be "exited " from the program. Each member will tutor 25-30 children during the course of the school year. The member will continue to monitor the exited child during the year to be sure that he or she maintains reading skills. The MiRC pilot program is already making a difference for students in the Godwin Heights and Godfrey Lee school districts, both located in Kent County. Initial reports show that several MiRC participants have already achieved grade-level reading with the help of the program and many more students are making academic gains with this intervention . In fact , the average MiRC student spends only seven weeks in the program before he or she is able to read at grade level. The program is being piloted in Grand Rapids with the intent to grow the program statewide. With expansion, this program will help thousands of Michigan students achieve third grade reading proficiency, aligning with Michigan Department of Education priorities. �Michigan Reading Corps Pilot Program results: 160 144 . nk - ------ Grade 2 : Rea-ding- Standard Progress Mon itor Pa:s:saqe:s - - . - - - - - · - - - - •.. __., - ,.;-~ DR - - - - - - - - - - - -·--·-· - - - - - ?"· ,/ ~---...:• Corrects • Errors * Corrects Almlllle - • Corrects Trend 16 O -nmmnrrmm~mmnnmmmnrrm~rrm~·n · ~rrqm~mlirr .ll~iilmj·~ ~IIITij~ mlimli~ ~IIITJIITjilmli~jiiTII~IJimli~ijiTifmlljmiiiTIIITjiiTillmjl~liiTijmtlfmij~IIITilmjllmiiTIITjili );] ~ ~ (§ Ci ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ 8 ~ ~ .C"·INNN N N M M M V • ~ ~ ~ ~ ..- ~ ~ ~ ~ Figure 2: Assessment data is captured weekly for MiRC students and plotted on graphs, which are used to make data driven decisions by school staff. Black lines show growth target, red dots show assessment results, and dotted red lines show trends in plotted points. Heart of West Michigan United Way and the Michigan Community Service Commission are working together to select between 25-30 rural and urban elementary schools that are "priority" or very low performing schools for the MiRC expansion . MiRC will place 2-3 Reading Corps members in each one of the qualifying schools. Impact MiRC combines multiple evidence-based practices with system-wide implementation that is focused on getting results- and does so quickly, effectively and at less cost than other existing reading programs. Data from Minnesota revealed that in 2011 , 80% of the 3rd grade students who successfully exited the Minnesota Read ing Corps model passed the 3rd grade state test-significant given that every child served was identified as at significant risk of failing this crucial benchmark. This score even exceeded the statewide pass rate for all 3rd grade students , 78% . In five years , MiRC estimates it will grow to provide literacy interventions to 31 ,500 struggling readers in the first 6 years . MiRC expects to achieve similar outcomes resulting in approximately 25 ,200 students passing 3rd grade state tests that would otherwise stay on a trajectory to failure. The impact projected from MiRC during the initial 5 years follows results seen in Minnesota : AmeriCorps Members Number of Schools Students served 2003-04 2004-05 2005-06 2006-07 2007-08 2008-09 23 55 95 127 238 362 4 8 427 45 1,400 77 3,051 117 4,135 165 8,775 250 F1gure 3: Impact of Mmnesota Readmg Corps m 1ts f1rst 5 years Cost Effectiveness AmeriCorps member service will benefit the child , the family and the community , producing measurable results with economic value . State costs per student served will be only $196 . For every $196 the state invests, an additional $765 will be matched by federal and private funds . �In addition , we expect to replicate the cost-savings Minnesota Department of Education realized , by decreasing special education referrals for Reading Corps participants. Children who graduate from the program in Minnesota are three times less likely to be placed in a Special Education program. It is estimated that the average cost for a child in special education is three times that of the average pupil. Replicating Minnesota's results will save up to $4000 for every Michigan child that is not referred to special education. Expansion Through 2019, MiRC plans to expand by 50 members per year, beginning with 50 to 75 AmeriCorps members in the upcoming 2013-14 school year. This growth will allow the program to expand to 25 new schools per year, serving an additional 1500 students in each year of expansion. Staffing structure of the program will reflect expansion such that ratios of staff-tomembers remain at manageable levels. Request Michigan Reading Corps is requesting $706 ,800 from the Michigan Department of Education (MOE) for year one of the MiRC program and a total of $5,914,200 over five years. A five year growth plan showing the resources that state dollars will leverage from federal and private sources is included . For every state dollar contributed , almost four will be leveraged from private and federal sources.

Background Volunteerism and National SeNice are an integral part of Michigan's civic infrastructure. The Michigan Community Service Commission (MCSC) was created in 1991 to serve as the state's central coordinating body for seNice and volunteerism. Part of its leadership role is to establish, implement, and sustain a vision for volunteerism and national seNice in Michigan. Since the inception of the organization, MCSC has been using seNice as a strategy to add ress some of Michigan's most pressing problems . In the P?St 20 years, it has invested more tha n $100 million in communities for volunteer initiatives, which leveraged as excess of $85 mill ion in local funds , engaged more than one million people in volunteerism and national seNice, and impacted critical issues such as disaster preparedness, education , foreclosure , healthcare, and the environment. Key Partners MCSC has a number of partners integral to the success and development of national seNice ., and volunteering in Michigan . The partners represented below supported the development of the State Service Plan and are essential its success . MCSC receives funding from the Corporation for National and Community Service (CNCS), a federal agency and partner with the mission to improve lives, strengthen communities, and foster civic engagement through seNice and volunteering . The CNCS Michigan Field Office administers Senior Corps and AmeriCorps VISTA Senior Corps connects today's 55+ with the people and organizations that need them most through three programs including the Foster Grandparent Program, Senior Companion Program, and Retired and Senior Volunteer Program (RSVP). AmeriCorps VISTA (Volunteers in Service to America) provides full-time members to nonprofit, faith-based and other community organizations , and public agencies to create and expand programs that bring low-income individuals and communities out of poverty. Michigan State Service Plan 2013-2016 1 �Michigan Nonprofit Association (MNA) is a leader, a model , an advocate and a support system for nonprofit organizations throughout the state. Michigan Campus Compact (MICC) promotes the education and commitment of Michigan college students to be civically engaged citizens , through creating and expanding academic, co-curricular and campus-wide opportunities for commun ity service, service-learning and civic engagement. Volunteer Centers of Michigan (VCM) is a statewide network of Volunteer Centers, which mobilize people and resources to deliver creative solutions to community problems. Through the convening of organizations , the promotion of com r:2.~Dl!Y service , and the matching of volunteers to nonprofit programs and events, Volunteer Centers take a leadership role in addressing key community issues. LEAGUE Michigan is a program for service, service-learning and philanthropy education that builds character and empowers young people to "do good" in !heir community, the nation and the world . State Service Plan In collaboration with its partner organizat}ons, Michigan's Stat~ Service Plan is a guide for expanding on MCSC's current programs and initiative~ and outlining state priorities. The plan was developed with public input through surveys , target stakeholder meetings, and input from staff and commission~rs of the,Michigan Comr:nunity Service Commission . y ',\, The plan focuses on two overarching strategic priorities including 1) development of programs and organizations with the demand for volunteers to effectively use service as a strategy to meet community needs; and 2) engagement of citizens who have the potential to serve and target demographic groups who can facilitate the supply of volunteers . ~. Development Priorities: Strategic Priority 1: Develop n~w, service opportunities. Strategic Priority 2: Improve existing services and programs . . Engagement Priorities:.. Strategic Priority 3: Expand Michigan's volunteer base. Strategic Priority 4: Build a culture and cl imate for service . Michigan State Service Plan 2013-2016 2 �• Working with Organizations and Communities to Use Service as a DEVELOPMENT: DEMAND FOR VOLUNTEERS • Developing Quality National Service and Volunteer Experiences and Programs through Training, ornr11rm Assistance, and Monitoring VOLUNTEER CONNECTION • Volunteer &National Service Recruitment • Volunteer Promotion & Recognition ENGAGEMENT: SUPPLY OF VOLUNTEERS Michigan 's State Service Plan articulates the aspirations of MCSC and its partners to expa nd national service and volunteerism to strengthen Michigan communities. The plan encompasses a three-year period and some action steps may not be implemented until the year three. The ability to implement this plan is dependent on a number of factors including federa l and state funding and the participation of a number of current and potential partners. The State Service Plan is a dynamic document that must be viewed as a blueprint, not a stringent course. Throughout the plan timeframe, additional priorities may arise not reflected in this plan and it is important for MCSC and its partners to respond appropriately. Michigan State Service Plan 2013-2016 3 �Strategic Priority 1: DEVELOP NEW SERVICE OPPORTUNITIES- Working with Organizations and Communities to Use Services as a Strategy Strategy 1 Overview: One of MCSC's primary roles is to assist organizations and communities in utilizing service as a strategy to fulfill their mission and to engage individuals in solving communities' most pressing challenges.

Acheson Foundation Acheson Ventures David Price MARO Employment & Training Association School Turnaround AmeriCorps, in coordination with local school and local education agency turnaround efforts under School Improvement Grants and Elementary and Secondary Education Act flexibility, will support schools and communities in improving student performance. School Turnaround AmeriCorps also expands on the efforts of Together for Tomorrow, a cooperative initiative among ED, CNCS, and the White House Office of Faith-based and Neighborhood Partnerships to boost community engagement in turning around the nation's lowest-performing schools. Larry Romanelli LJttle River Band of Ottawa Indians Marsha Smith Rotary Charities of Traverse City Jerry Swartz Lansing Schools Education Association John Truscott Truscott Rossman Approximately $5 million is available for this grant competition nationally, subject to the availability of full-year appropriations. CNCS expects to award individual grants between $250,000 and $1 ,000,000 for cost reimbursement grants (and a minimum of20 full-time equivalent members) and between $16,000 and $80,000 for education-award fixed-amount grants. Ella Kate Wagner Youth Commissioner Judy Watson-Olson Great Lakes Center for Youth Development School Turnaround AmeriCorps programs are to be focused very narrowly and can be operated within schools that meet the following criteria: Larry Williamson Comcast Cable E. Miles Wilson Johnson Center for Philanthropy 1 �1. Tier I and Tier II schools that are receiving School Improvement Grant funds to implement one ofthe four SIG models; 2. Tier I and Tier II schools that, at the time of the applicant' s application submission, have been formally notified that they will recei~e SIG funds to implement a SIG model in the 2013-2014 school year; and, 3. Priority schools that are implementing in the 2012-2013 school year or will implement in the 2013-2014 school year interventions aligned with the ESEA flexibility turnaround principles. Grants will fund projects that serve eligible schools not currently served by a national service program (e.g., AmeriCorps State and National, Volunteers in Service to America (VISTA), Foster Grandparents, etc.), or will support expansion and better coordination of existing national service activities in those schools. All projects funded under this Notice are expected to improve student academic performance, academic engagement, attendance outcomes, or some combination thereof, in eligible schools Grants will fund projects that address multiple student needs and are aligned with comprehensive school turnaround plans. All grants must include one or more of the following: • Providing ongoing mechanisms for family and community engagement. • Establishing a school culture and environment that improve school safety, attendance, and discipline and address other non-academic factors that impact student achievement, such as students ' social, emotional, and health needs. • Accelerating students' acquisition of reading and mathematics knowledge and skills; • Increasing graduation rates through strategies such as early warning systems, credit-recovery programs, andre-engagement strategies. • Increasing college enrollment rates through college preparation counseling assistance to include completing the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) and college applications, and educating students and their families on financial literacy for college; or • Supporting school implementation of increased learning time. Applicants are also required to use standardized, priority education performance measures. Given the narrow focus of funding, the MCSC conducted targeted outreach to eligible applicants and provided extensive one-on-one technical assistance with interested organizations. While there was broad interest in the opportunity, the MCSC received one (1) application for the School Turnaround AmeriCorps competition. This applicant is considered "new" and is not a current grantees of the MCSC or CNCS.
