NATIONAL LEAGUE oFCITIES ~ of Recognition for National Service Mayors Day of Recognition fo r National Service: April 1, 201 4 ~; "'? ' .4• CITIES OF SERVICE Eve1J' dqy, in cities across America, national sertJice is tackling tottgh problems and strengthening communities. On April1, 2014, A1qJ'Ors across the country 1vill thank those u'ho serz1e and recognize their impact on the L\1qJ'Ors Dq;' of Recognition for National Serz•ice. 1201 New York Ave., NW Washington, DC 20525 202-606-5000 N ationa!Service.gov T he nation's mayors are increasingly turning to national service as a costeffective strategy to address city challenges. By unleashing the power of citizens, AmeriCorps and Senior Corps programs have a positive and lasting impact- making our cities better places to live. To spotlight the impact of national service and thank those who serve, mayors across the country will participate in the second-annual M ayors Day of R ecognition for N ational Service on April 1, 2014. On this day, mayors will hold public events and use traditional and social media to highlight the value and impact of national service to the nation's cities. Last year, 832 Mayors representing nearly 100 million citizens participated in the inaugural Mayors D ay of Recognition for National Service. The initiative is being led by the Corporation for National and Community Service; Cities of Service; the National League of Cities; and Mesa, AZ, Mayor Scott Smith, President of the U.S. Conference of Mayors. National Service: A Resou rce for Cities Why a Mayors Day of Recognition? As the federal agency fo r national service and volunteering, CNCS annually engages five million citizens in service at more than 70,000 sites in 8,500 cities across th e country. Through A meriCorp s, VISTA, NCCC, Senior Corps, the Social Innovation Fund, and other programs, CNCS leverages federal and private funds to support organizations that achieve measurable results wh ere the need is greatest. A significant portion of this investment is focused o n cities. Whether supporting food banks and homeless shelters, restoring city parks, building ho mes, p roviding health services, tutoring and mentoring students, and managing co mmunity volunteers, national service members help mayors tackle tough problems. As solution-focused local elected o fficials, mayors have a unique role in this country. Mayors' focus on engaging citizens and meeting local needs matches CNCS's mission to improve lives, strengthen co mmunities, and foster civic engagement. CNCS's priority on expanding econo mic opportunity to create sustainable and resilient communities directly aligns with the goals of mayors. A coordinated day of recognition presents a unique opportunity to spotlight the key role that national service plays in solving local problems and challenges. Participating in the day will highlight the impact of citizen service, show support for nonprofit and national service groups, and inspire more residents to serve in their commuruties. �What Happened last Year? How Can Mayors Get Involved? On April 9, 2013, the first-ever Mayors Day of Recognition for National Service united Mayors across the country to spotlight the impact of national service and honor those who serve. Altogether, 832 Mayors in all 50 states and the District of Columbia, Guam, and Puerto Rico officially recognized the work that AmeriCorps members and Senior Corps volunteers are doing to make cities better and stronger. Together, these Mayors represent nearly 100 million citizens, or nearly one-third of all Americans. To learn how Mayors across the country recognized the day, visit our website at www.nationalservice.gov / mayors forservice Mayors are encouraged to hold a public event, issue a proclamation or other form of recognition, and use traditional or social media to highlight the impact of national service.

As a first step in the overall planning process, every CNCS state office has been asked to articulate preliminary goals for Mayors Day 2014. Building upon last year's tremendous successes, Michigan goals this year include : • enhanced collaboration with MCSC on Mayor's Day outreach and programming, this includes a desired interface of Mayor' s Day outreach with A/C 20th anniversary outreach/publicity that is already underwa y (CNCS has designated Mayors Day as one of the 20th anniversary themes in the month of April); • increasing the number of Ml cities actively engaged in some form of Mayors Day programming or acknowledgement from last year's 11 to a target of 30 this year; • greater engagement in Mayor's Day programming in the city of Detroit with an eye towards utilizing Mayor's Day as an opportunity to introduce Mayor Duggan and his staff to national service programs and opportunities in the city of Detroit; • ensuring that all Cities of Service municipalities undertake at least one Mayors Day program or activity; and • enhancing engagement and involvement of current national service sponsors (AC * State, A/C*National sites in Ml, VISTA, Senior Corps, Volunteer Generation, SIF sites, and, NCCC projects that may be servin g in Ml during that time) in Mayors Day planning and/or implementation. Outreach will begin in earnest next with CNCS-initiated e-mail-based communication to potential mayors, current CNCS grantees/sponsors, and relevant stakeholders that will explain the process for mayors to sign on t o this effort, present a list of current national service programs in key Ml cities, and present practical examples of programs and activities that can be undertaken for Mayors Day as well as referencing examples of events from last year. Initial phone conversations have taken place between Ginna, Cathy and Evan regarding the planning and collaboration between the CNCS Ml Field Office and MCSC. This joint venture will be referenced in all communication to sponsors and key stakeholders.

IT'S ALWAYS MY GREAT PLEASURE TO SPEND TIME WITH A GROUP THAT IS SO COMMITTED TO THE IMPORTANCE OF COMMUNITY SERVICE. YESTERDAY WAS THE REVEREND MARTIN LUTHER KING JR. ' S BIRTHDAY. OF COURSE, WE WON'T CELEBRATE MARTIN LUTHER KING JR. DAY UNTIL MONDAY, BUT JANUARY 15 IS THE DATE HE WAS BORN. IT'S VERY APPROPRIATE FOR THE MICHIGAN COMMUNITY SERVICE COMMISSION TO MEET THE DAY AFTER REVEREND KING' S BIRTHDAY. WHEN IT COMES RIGHT DOWN TO IT, HIS LIFE AND WORK WERE ALL ABOUT SERVICE. MARTIN LUTHER KING JR. ONCE SAID: �Page 2 of 9 "EVERYBODY CAN BE GREAT ..BECAUSE ANYBODY CAN SERVE. YOU DON'T HAVE TO HAVE A COLLEGE DEGREE TO SERVE. YOU DON'T HAVE TO MAKE YOUR SUBJECT AND VERB AGREE TO SERVE. YOU ONLY NEED A HEART FULL OF GRACE. A SOUL GENERATED BY LOVE. " MLK WAS A HIGHLY EDUCATED MAN. HE HELD A DOCTORATE DEGREE. BUT HE REALIZED THAT ALL OF US CAN SERVE OUR COMMUNITIES AND BE GREAT BY DOING SO - NO MATTER OUR EDUCATIONAL LEVEL, OR HOW MUCH MONEY WE HAVE, OR HOW OLD WE ARE. YOUNG PEOPLE ARE SOME OF OUR MOST VALUABLE VOLUNTEERS, AND WE NEED TO CONTINUE TEACHING THEM TO GIVE BACK. MCSC HELPS SHARE THAT MESSAGE FROM DR. KING. I WANT TO RECOGNIZE THE MEMBERS OF THE MICHIGAN COMMUNITY SERVICE COMMISSION WHO WERE NEWLY APPOINTED BYGOVERNORSNYDERLATELASTYEAR. MYBOSS~SSOME �Page 3 of 9 PRETTY GOOD APPOINTMENTS, SO I KNOW YOU'RE GOING TO BE GREAT! I'M PLEASED TO HAVE THE CHANCE TO WORK WITH THE NEW COMMISSIONERS- KYLE CALDWELL, KATHARINE JANES, PETER LEMMER AND KRISTEN LINGENFELTER. I ALSO WANT TO THANK OUR VETERAN BOARD MEMBERS, AND EXPRESS MY APPRECIATION TO CAROLYN BLOODWORTH FOR HER WILLINGNESS TO CONTINUE TO SERVE AS YOUR CHAIR. I KNOW THAT ALL OF YOU ALSO PROVIDE GREAT SERVICE IN YOUR OWN COMMUNITIES IN ADDITION TO BEING ON THE BOARD. YOU DEMONSTRATE A CARING SPIRIT THAT INSPIRES. YOU DO NOT ONLY BELIEVE IN THE MISSION OF THE COMMISSION, YOU LIVE IT. THANK YOU ALSO TO GINNA HOLMES FOR THE WORK YOU DO AS EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR. IT'S GREAT TO HAVE YOU ON BOARD AS �Page 4 of 9 PART OF THE DHS TEAM. I APPRECIATE ALL THAT YOU AND YOUR STAFF CONTRIBUTE. AND THANK YOU TO OUR HOSTS TODAY FROM PECKAHM- AND NOT ONLY FOR LETTING US MEET HERE, BUT FOR HELPING PEOPLE WHO ARE VULNERABLE GET THE TRAINING AND SERVICES THEY NEED TO FIND JOBS. MY THANKS TO YOUR BOARD PRESIDENT, CURT MUNSON, AND TO THE ENTIRE BOARD, AS WELL AS CEO MITCHELL TOMLINSON AND HIS STAFF. I'M PLEASED BY SEVERAL OF THE INITIATIVES THAT MCSC IS TAKING ON, AND I KNOW THE GOVERNOR IS ALSO HAPPY. THERE ' S THE GOVERNOR'S/MAYOR INITIATIVE/WAYNE STATE UNIVERSITY URBAN SAFETY PROGRAM, WHICH I'M PLEASED TO SAY HAS REDUCED CRIME BY 47 PERCENT. I'M ALSO GLAD THAT YOU'RE HELPING EXPAND THIS SUCCESSFUL INITIATIVE TO SEVEN �Page 5 of 9 ADDITIONAL NEIGHBORHOODS AND INVOLVING PATHWAYS TO POTENTIAL. I'M ALSO EXCITED ABOUT MICHIGAN BEING ONE OF 17 STATES TO RECEIVE THE VOLUNTEER GENERATION FUND GRANT TO LAUNCH A VOLUNTEER PORTAL TO PROVIDE OPPORTUNITIES FOR MICHIGAN RESIDENTS TO HAVE THE CHANCE TO SERVE. I WANT TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE 20TH ANNIVERSARY OF AMERICORPS. I JOIN YOU IN CELEBRATING A MILESTONE FOR AN INITIATIVE THAT'S HAD SUCH AN IMPACT- BY HELPING PEOPLE AND BY HELPING YOUNG PEOPLE REALIZE THE VALUE OF COMMUNITY SERVICE. NOW HERE'S A BRIEF UPDATE ON A COUPLE OF THINGS THAT DHS IS DOING. �Page 6 of 9 FIRST, PATHWAYS TO POTENTIAL. FOR THE NEW BOARD MEMBERS: PATHWAYS TO POTENTIAL IS A DHS PROGRAM THAT ALLOWS STATE PUBLIC ASSISTANCE BENEFIT SERVICES TO BE BETTER COORDINATED BY PLACING A DHS CASEWORKER IDENTIFIED AS A SUCCESS COACH IN SCHOOLS. SUCCESS COACHES ASSIST CHILDREN AND FAMILIES WITH REMOVING BARRIERS THAT MAY BE KEEPING THEM FROM SELF-SUFFICIENCY. AS OF THIS MONTH, PATHWAYS HAS A PRESENCE IN 159 SCHOOLS, WITH A SCHOOL IN LAPEER COUNTY BECOMING THE LATEST TO IMPLEMENT THE MODEL. PATHWAYS BEGAN IN DETROIT, FLINT, SAGINAW AND PONTIAC IN 2012. THIS SCHOOL YEAR WE EXPANDED INTO MUSKEGON, KALAMAZOO AND WARREN. A NEW COMPONENT, THE COMMUNITY SCHOOL MODEL, LAUNCHED AT 21 PATHWAYS SITES IN DETROIT THIS SCHOOL YEAR. �Page 7 of 9 COMMUNITY SCHOOLS WORK WITH MANY COMMUNITY PARTNERS TO ENSURE THAT ALL CHILDREN ARE HEALTHY AND LEARNING. THE COMMUNITY SCHOOL COORDINATOR, IN COLLABORATION WITH THE DHS SUCCESS COACH LOCATED IN EACH SCHOOL, PLAYS AN IMPORTANT ROLE IN MAKING SURE THAT FAMILIES ' BASIC NEEDS ARE BEING MET. THERE HAS BEEN INTEREST- AND DISCUSSIONS ARE UNDERWAY- TO TARGET SCHOOLS IN THE COUNTIES OF ST. CLAIR, WASHTENA W, MARQUETTE, MECOSTA, OSCEOLA AND OTTAWA. PATHWAYS TO POTENTIAL IS A GREAT SUCCESS, AND WE'LL BE BRINGING IT TO MORE COMMUNITIES AROUND THE STATE. SOMETHING ELSE WE'RE DOING THAT I KNOW IS NEAR AND DEAR TO YOUR HEART IS OUR VETERANS INITIATIVE. THIS CAME ABOUT BECAUSE IN 2010, MICHIGAN RANKED LAST AMONG 53 U.S. STATES AND TERRITORIES IN PER-CAPITA VETERANS BENEFITS. THE �Page 8 of 9 NEW DHS STRATEGIC PLAN CALLS FOR VETERAN FORUMS AT HOUSES OF WORSHIP TO EDUCATE AND INFORM VETERANS ABOUT AVAILABLE RESOURCES, SERVICES AND OPPORTUNITIES. BOTH VETERANS AFFAIRS AND DHS OFFICES WILL BE HOUSED IN THE SAME LOCATION TO FOSTER A REFERRAL PROCESS BETWEEN THE TWO AND TO BETTER ASSIST VETERANS IN APPLYING FOR VA BENEFITS AND SERVICES. THE DHS ENHANCING COMMUNITY HEALTH OUTREACH PROJECT MODELS THE EXISTING PATHWAYS TO POTENTIAL PROGRAM CONCEPT. IT PROVIDES ACCESS TO ASSISTANCE AT CHURCH FACILITIES FOR DISADVANTAGED POPULATIONS, WITH A PROGRAM TRACK DEDICATED TO VETERANS. THIS FOCUS IS TO HELP ALLEVIATE BARRIERS TO SELF-SUFFICIENCY FOR VETERANS. �Page 9 of 9 I DON'T WANT TO TAKE UP ANY MORE OF YOUR MEETING. ONCE AGAIN, I THANK YOU FOR HELPING THE STATE OF MICHIGAN CONTINUE OUR REINVENTION BY EMPOWERING VOLUNTEERS TO ADDRESS THE IMPORTANT ISSUES FACING OUR STATE. AT DHS, WE REALLY APPRECIATE THE LEADERSHIP PROVIDED BY THE MCSC. I KNOW BIG THINGS ARE AHEAD FOR YOU IN 2014. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Community Service recognizes both the limits of government solutions and the value of government resources. For the movement to succeed it must remain true to its grassroots by supporting local needs and elevating local models." The Challenge of Community Building by Frank Dirks Former Michigan ED and first Executive Director f ~ SC _) As the National Service movement celebrates 20 years of volunteering and service in communities across America, let us pause to restate the basic principles upon which the movement was founded. Frank Dirks simply stated that "The fatal flaw of most 'movements' comes when their national agenda dominates their local priorities." • • • • • • • • • Research shows that civic engagement is an indicator of a nation' s health. Both the federal government and state governments have pragmatic reasons for fostering civic engagement and civic health. Social challenges are experienced locally within communities. Local needs and interests are more easily identified through state structures than by large federal bureaucracies, which by their nature are insulated from America's richly diverse communities. The passage of the legislation creating the Corporation for National and Community Service (CNCS) was a decisive, intentional act by Congress to invest in the infrastructure needed at the local level to further a culture of citizenship, service and responsibility. Critical to National Service's success is a strong network of state service commissions uniquely positioned to strengthen communities by supporting sustained, well-managed volunteer programming at the local level. The governing structure of state service commissions intentionally brings together a powerful mix of bi-partisan, cross-sector leaders directly connected to the governing authority of each state. These citizen commissioners have great flexibility to identify local issues and build public/private partnerships with nonprofits, educational institutions, foundations, businesses, and state and local governments to address local needs. The effectiveness and sustainability of local efforts increases dramatically when the federal system actively creates an environment in which transparency leads to greater participation, intentional consultation, and reciprocal communication on issues related to policy and practice that play out at the local level. These mutually dependent state and federal civic engagement goals are best accomplished through intentional consultation and collaboration between state service commissions and our federal partner, CNCS. To fmther al low state commissions to flourish and generate innovative, practical solutions to local issues, it is critical that CNCS continue reducing administrative burden, unnecessary reporting, redundant system requirements, and other highly bureaucratized practices that do little to ensure compliance or accountability.

From: TBranen [mailto:TBranen@ASC-online.org] Sent: Friday, December 20, 2013 4:29PM Cc: Lounsbury, Adam [IEDA]; Rachel Manuel Bruns Subject: Guiding Principles for State Commissions - Action Item Importance: High Dear Colleague: Attached please see the Guiding Principles for State Commissions document that was approved by the ASC Board on Tuesday. We have previously shared this document with you and spoke about it at our last ED Learning Community call. As you know, we have added a large number of recent or new executive directors to our commission network. An ASC Public Policy Subcommittee comprised of Liz Darling, Marya! ice Crofton, Jim Snell, David Mallery, and Adam Lounsbury developed these guiding principles to serve as a benchmark for commissions going forward. From these discussions, Liz Darling drafted these Guiding Principles. They were edited and vetted by the ASC Public Policy and then approved by the ASC Executive Committee and then the ASC Board to produce this final document. We ask that you share this document with your commissioners and at your next commission meeting have them vote to acknowledge or adopt them as guiding principle for your commission. We would like to have all commissions vote to ratify these principles as our collective expectation as essential partners in the delivery of national service. We will add each state and the acknowledgment date to the document. Once the states are added to the document we will present it to the Corporation and maintain on the ASC website. Ideally we would like this to be accomplished by our February convening but understand some states may not meet before then. Please let me know when your commission meets and you will be able to formally adopt these principles. Please contact me if you have any questions.

This year, two honors will be awarded : the Public Sector Leadership Award and the Individual Leadership Award. In past years, these awards have been given to political leaders, corporations and individuals who have moved the needle on expanding quality youth mentoring in America. Mentor Michigan nominated Director Corrigan for being a champion of mentoring for more than a decade and for mentoring youth and young adults since March 2005. Corrigan began her service to the mentoring field as a board member of Vista Maria in Dearborn Heights, Michigan. She then went on to become a mentor with VIP Mentoring. Corrigan has taken an active mentoring role with four young women of promise, and has worked diligently to ensure that they are guided on the right path to achieve their dreams in life. In her role as director of the Department of Human Services, she has continued to be a champion for mentoring by recognizing the important role mentors and mentoring programs can play in some of the state' s key initiatives such as youth aging out of foster care, the school to prison pipeline, and Pathways to Potential. Director Corrigan works to ensure that mentoring programs have the opportunity to be part of these initiatives. The fourth annual National Mentoring Summit will be January 30 and 31, 2014, in Arlington, VA, at the Crystal Gateway Marriott. The Summit is convened by MENTOR: The National Mentoring Partnership and host committee members the Corporation for National and Community Service (CNCS), the Harvard School of Public Health, the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention (OJJDP) and United Way Worldwide. It is the signature event for the national mentoring movement that will bring together 700 participants including, practitioners, researchers, corporate partners, government and civic leaders, national youth-serving organizations and the network ofMentoring Partnerships in a forum to explore and advance mentoring's positive impact on individuals and communities.

There may also be funding from the Department of Labor, Department oflnterior, and the Department of Justice, in cooperation with the CNCS, to assemble an urban conservation corps that would respond to the issue of Belle Isle along with public-owned land in other areas .not being well maintained. The program would focus on the age group of 18-30 and provide an opportunity for those that don' t have a path to employment. There could be several hundred AmeriCorps slots targeted at Detroit and other urban areas (Flint, Pontiac and Saginaw). The CNCS would like to do this in Michigan. The private foundation community would support as well. The MCSC would be the conduit for the education awards and would have to find a partner to run the program. The MCSC would have to act quickly to move forward with the opportunity. A memo will be sent out to Commissioners outlining the opportunity and a conference call will be scheduled to discuss the opportunity. VII. Public Comment- Commissioner Calley shared a volunteer opportunity for Commissioners to join the Governor in Detroit at Focus Hope on Saturday. They will be packaging Thanksgiving baskets.

This was a special board conference call scheduled to discuss a concept from Commissioner Rob Collier for an expansion of AmeriCorps program in Michigan through offer from Corporation for National and Community Service (CNCS). Ginna Holmes gave background on the initiative. During a meeting with funders in a visit to Michigan in early November, Wendy Spencer, CEO of the CNCS, discussed the possibility of creating an AmeriCorps program around a specific need, geographic or issue area. The CNCS cannot provide any additional competitive or formula funding for the program but can provide the education award for the member slots ($5,550). The state would have to identify additional 1 �funding sources to cover the living stipend, healthcare costs, and match. The funders at the meeting felt strongly about needing opportunities for youth to find employment. The AmeriCorps member living stipend would be helpful for youth that have challenges finding employment. Wendy shared that key priorities would be around the environment, education/youth, disaster or veterans. Commissioners asked if there were any overlap with funders around these issues. Commissioner Collier has been looking into the funding aspect and shared that the Department ofNatural Resources (DNR) has received funding ($2 million in first year, $3 million in second year) for youth workforce development. There is a potential of $5 million for the next year that could be allocated to support this AmeriCorps program with CNCS providing the education award. It would support both a full year program and a summer employment program. Commissioner Collier shared there is a potential of four funding sources for this project: 1. Education Award from CNCS 2. State/DNR reallocate some of the $5 million to support program 3. Private funders 4. Funding from Department of Interior and Department ofLabor Both the Department of Interior and Department of Labor are interested in this targeted population (16-20 year olds). Ginna Holmes shared that her and Paula had a conversation with Melissa Bradley at CNCS about the initiative. There are currently 6,000 member slots available. CNCS has some other ideas of how they would like the program to look. Because this is a special project, the process for the program is being created as they go and will not be the same as the normal AmeriCorps funding process. Michigan is the only state they are discussing this opportunity with. Commissioner Algra shared concerns about the Commission' s capacity to handle this size of program. Would the DNR be willing to run the program or do we need to find a nonprofit organization to run the program? Commissioner Wilson shared the same concern around capacity . Ms. Holmes shared that per her conversation with CNCS that we would have to add staff to manage the program. But CNCS would not be providing any funding to support the staff. Commissioner Collier explained that GM Foundation is interested along with other private and corporate funders. He also said the Commission could partner with the DNR or another major nonprofit that knows how to do this work. Commissioner Wilson asked whether the DNR would be willing to fund the support of the program and Commissioner Collier replied yes. Commissioner Wilson stated that he felt that Commissioners were being asked to make this decision on the fly and that it is important to think about this with strategies the MCSC has in place and how it fits . The MCSC may want to think about requests we have made with funders around other priorities. It would also be helpful to have an idea of the number of slots we would be asking for so we know if our capacity requirements. Commissioner Watson-Olson stated that we need to look at our strategic plan for the organization and what the impact would be long term and short term. Would we have to add staff to manage the program and then let them go at the end of the program? There is always added capacity needed to ramp up and ramp down a program. This can cause a big disruption to an organization. A big gift 2 �can kill an organization instead of strengthening it. She also shared that she is concerned that with Ginna just starting as the Executive Director, it could be difficult to take on this big of an initiative. Ms. Holmes has asked the CNCS if this is a short term or long term arrangement (2 years- 3 years). Commissioners asked what the timeline looks like. Commissioner Collier stated that we would need to make a decision in the first 60 days of the year. We have to talk to DNR about the allocation they have or will have to make a pitch to get it into the State budget. We don't want to risk the Michigan Reading Corps budget request so the better request would be through DNR. His recommendation would be to try to employ 500 members with this initiative. He shared that the First Lady (Mrs. Obama) has announced that one of her priorities for next year will be college access for low income students. Also Detroit is a priority for the White House. So this program would get the attention of the White House and Mrs. Obama. Commissioner Algra stated again her concern for staff capacity. There will need to be a program officer to get new program up and going. What is the timeline of the program start? Is there a nonprofit that could run the program? Commissioner Lawson asked what funders will come forward to support the initiative. Commissioner Collier stated that he has some that are interested. Commissioner Lawson said that we need to sustain what we already have on our plate (ex: Michigan Reading Corps). Commissioner Watson-Olson stated that we need to have some strategic thinking around the next 510 years and what the needs in Michigan will be and how the MCSC can be part of the vision to help move Michigan forward . Commissioners asked what was needed from them. The MCSC needs consent from Commissioners that this is worth exploring and that they support the capacity to enter into this major initiative. Commissioner Collier and Ginna Holmes will draft a summary of the opportunity which will be sent out to Commissioners in the next week. Commissioners will submit their questions around the initiative to Janice Harvey . The initiative will be discussed at the January MCSC board meeting.

N . . ,. 1 ugnn t onpmfirA.ssocJatlon COMMISSiON N ATidNAL& COMMUNITY SERVICEt.UC Michigan's State Service Plan 2012-2015 Mission The Michigan Community Service Commission (MCSC) utilizes service as a strategy to address the state' s most pressing issues and empowers volunteers to strengthen communities. Vision Develop and sustain a highly engaged, interconnected, and vibrant Michigan citizenry with efficient and accessible systems and supports in place to effectively address state and locally-defined needs through national service and volunteerism. Background The MCSC is the state' s lead agency on volunteerism. Since the inception of the organization in 1991 , the MCSC has been utilizing service as a strategy to address the state ' s most pressing issues and empowering voluntee rs to strengthen their communities. In its 22 year history, the MCSC has invested more than $ 100 million in vo lunteer initiatives, leveraged $85 million in local funds, enlisted 24,000 state residents in 29 million hours of AmeriCorps service, and engaged mo re than one million people in volunteerism. This is accomplished through the MCSC 's four signature programs: Michigan's AmeriCorps, Mentor Michigan, Volunteer Michigan, and the Governor' s Service Awards. The MCSC administers federal funds for these programs, granted by the Corporation for National and Community Service, and is part of the Michigan Department of Human Services. Michigan State Service Plan As a leader in Michigan's service and volunteer field, the MCSC has been charged with the role of establishing, implementing, and sustaining a vision and plan for volunteerism and national service in the state. To develop this plan the MCSC sought the guidance of its commissioners and staff, as well as key partner and program insight, and public input through surveys, target stakeholder meetings, and more. This plan encompasses the wo rk of all the state's volunteer and service sector organizations working as a whole. Action steps identified througho ut the plan will be orchestrated by vario us organizations and reflects that the MCSC is a key facilitator in enacting all steps of the plan. �Michigan State Service Plan Priorities • Working with organi=ations and communities to use service as a strategy. recruitment and retention • Developing quality national service programs and volunteer experiences through training, technical assistance, and monitoring. • Volunteer promotion & recognition • Celebrating service success Overall, the Michigan State Service Plan articulates the aspirations ofMCSC and its partners to expand national service and volunteerism to strengthen Michigan communities. While the plan is comprehensive, it is not all inclusive but rather a guide for future actions and direction. Other strategic partners may be identified for future collaboration and new priorities and initiatives may be developed. The abil ity to implement this plan as written is dependent on a number of factors including federal and state funding and the participation of a number of current and potential partners. Furthermore, the course and priorities of the MCSC and its partner organizations is subject to change as a result of pressing local, state, and national issues that may arise. It is important for the MCSC and its partner organizations to maintain the flexibil ity to respond to these issues as they arise. Michigan State Service Plan 2013-2016 2 �Key Partners Integral to development of this plan and critical to the success of national service and volunteerism in Michigan are a number of key partners. These partners play a crucial role in supporting and enhancing the work of the MCSC and expanding the engagement of Michigan residents in a number of ways. The Corporation for National and Community Service (CNCS) is a federal agency and partner with the mission to improve lives, strengthen communities, and foster civic engagement through service and volunteering. The federal funding administered by the MCSC is granted by the CNCS office. In addition to the support received from the federal headquarter, the CNCS Michigan Field Office and the programs it administers are also an integral partner of the MCSC. These programs include: • Senior Corps. A national service stream, this program connects individuals age 55 and older with people and organizations who utilize their services to meet pressing community needs. Within the Senior Corps stream, several programs exist including: Foster Grandparent Program, which serves at-risk children and youth to help ensure academic and social success; Senior Companion Program, which serves homebound and elderly residents to provide companionship and enable them to maintain independent living; and Retired and Senior Volunteer Program (RSVP), which provides an array of activities designed to enhance the capacity of nonprofits to deliver quality services. • AmeriCorps VISTA (Volunteers in Service to America). This program 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.

CNCS • For MCSC to commit to continuing with the expansion, CNCS must commit to providing the additional member slot for at least three years, but five years is preferred. • It is recommended that we pursue additional funding sources, with the assistance of CNCSDepartment of the Interior. • If successful, the program could apply through the normal application process as an education award only program, and if the model proves to be effective, its relatively low cost would give it a competitive advantage 2. DNR • DNR is willing to consider providing funding for the living allowance stipend for the AmeriCorps expansion. • If approved to pursue the expansion, talks would begin with DNR staff to map out the exact amount of the funding and secure the necessary program support. • It will be determined from these meetings if DNR would partner with a nonprofit to manage the day-to-day operations of the program. • For MCSC to commit to continue with the expansion, DNR must commit to providing the necessary funds for the Member match. 3. Foundations- Private Donors • For MCSC to commit to launch the expansion project, formalized funding must be secured. These funds will cover the costs of staff (On-site Operations, MCSC), supplies, incidentalsfor example, travel for youth to the program sites. MCSC Capacity 1. Staffing • It will be necessary to add staff to meet the demands of the proposed Expansion Project. • For the first year, one new staff member would assist with managing the expansion of the new proposed project and support other expansion projects - ReadingCorps and Urban Safety project. • It is important to note that staffing needs are not directly tied to the number of members and size of the program, but the strength of the nonprofit that manages the program . • Staffmg needs are dependent on the experience and needs of the identified grantee. An experienced grantee would require significantly less support than a new grantee 2. Disruption • Without additional staff, it would be too disruptive to consider adding this new expansion. • ReadingCorps taught us that it is imperative to have strong organizational support and fun ding before launching a program. • If the program is pushed too fast, the MCSC staff will have to spend a great deal oftime helping support start up. • It is unclear at this point if the new program would be based on an existing proven model, or if that needs to be created from the ground up. If such a model must be created, it will require significant time and support from MCSC staff. �Management • • • • • It is recommended that nonprofits with experience in working with disadvantaged youth be -. selected to implement the program. It is critical that a strong infrastructure be in place at the organization to allow for the program to function. It is critical that the grantee bring on the appropriate number of qualified staff to launch the program. For a program of30 MSYs, a full-time Program Director and full-time Program Assistant are strongly recommended. For a program of 50 MSY, a full-time Program Director, full-time Program Assistant, and additional in-kind support from staff to assist with training and supervision are strongly recommended. Program Im plementation • It is critical that if more then one nonprofit implements the program that they utilize the same "curriculum" and method to support the youth • CNCS defmition for Disadvantaged youth: "receiving or meet the income eligibility requirements to receive : TANF, Food Stamps (S AP), Medicaid, SCHIP, Section 8 housing assistance." • It is important to note that the retention rate for disadvantaged youth in AmeriCorps is lower then the normal rate of non-disadvantaged youth. Support systems are necessary. Program Assessment The outcomes could be based on the following • The number of disadvantaged youth who complete the program. • The number of education awards utilized and when. • Pre/post tests that measure the skills of members before and after service. • Customized performance measures based on CNCS standardized measures for Economic Opportunity Strategic Plan • • • The expansion project fits within the current state plan. Youth programing has always been a key initiative of MCSC. The expansion fits within the continuum of support for youth development- ReadingCorps, men to ring, access to college, development of skills to allow for success in a career Funding Q uestions • Are there funding commitments for the project? • Will the DNR would be willing to fund the support of the program? • How would this program fit the requests we have made with funders for other priorities? Do we have the funding necessary to meet the needs of those priorities? MCSC Capacity • Does the MCSC have the capacity to handle the size ofthis new program? • What is the added capacity needed to ramp up a new program? • How many new staff would be added to manage the program? What would the new staff roles be? • Would we have to add staff to manage it and then let them go at the end of the program? • What disruption would adding this new program be to MCSC? • How many member slots would we be asking for the program?- impact staffing requirement Management of P rogra m • Would the DNR be willing to run the program or do we need to find a nonprofit organization? Strategic Plan ning • How does this program fit into the strategic plan ofMCSC? • What is our plan for the next 5 - 10 years? • MCSC needs to defme the needs of the state and what our vision is to mo ve MI forward. T imeline • What is the timeline to decide if we would pursue the opportunity- to begin the program? �• Proposed Expansion of AmeriCorps in Michigan Proposed Goal : To expand AmeriCorps members in Michigan with the goal of meeting identified needs of State. Reason for Consideration • Wendy Spencer ofCNCS, met with a group of Detroit funders and offered to provide the Education Award for new member slots if Michigan wanted to expand beyond our current capacity. Proposed Plan • Youth will serve as AmeriCorps members in an Urban Conservation Corps - serving in parks and other needed areas of the community. • At-risk youth who do not have a defined career path, will be assisted with developing skills that will help them with securing future employment and exploring possible career options. • Youth will receive both the education award upon completion of service and a living stipend. • Youth will be provided with opportunities to prepare for further education and/or entrance to college. Target Population • Low-income, disconnected, at-risk youth ages 18 - 25 with limited workforce attachment • Locations - Saginaw, Pontiac, Flint, Detroit Funding A combination of three components will be used to fund the program. 1. Segal Education Award - provided by CNCS 2. Living Stipend- provided by the state of Michigan as part ofDNR budget for summer youth employment program (youth up to age 20) or Earn and Learn Initiative as part of Michigan Workforce Development program (youth 18 - 25) 3. Program support costs- Private funding- from foundations Number of AmeriCorps Member Slots • To be determined - based on funding and capacity to manage (possible 200) • The targeted population listed above will serve as AmeriCorps members, in addition other individuals with more developed skills and education could also serve as AmeriCorps member team leaders • Slots could be for summer or full-year service commitments Infrastructure Needs • Additional MCSC staff to provide oversight, support and resources • A nonprofit organization to manage and run the program • Procedures to manage new initiative Sorry - It is too late - I thought I had CC you on this, but realized after I hit send that I had not. questions I created for Melissa and let me know if there are others I should ask.

Robert Kelt Kolt Communications Michael Lavoie Butzet Long Law Janet Lawson Ford Motor Company Peter Lemmer Greenstone Farm Credit Services Kristin Lingenfelter Ungenfelter Motor.;ports 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 Utile River Band of Ottawa Indians Marsha Smith Rotal'j Charities of Traver.;e City The MCSC conducted an outreach process which included two virtual sessions open to anyone in Michigan. Face-to-face outreach was limited this year due to the lack of uncommitted formula funding and national competitive funding. The MCSC received 18 intents to apply for funding and 6 applications as a result ofthis process, one from an existing grantee (called "recompeting" applicants) and some from organizations who have not received funding from the MCSC (called "new" applicants). Jerry Swartz Lansing Schools Education Association John Truscott Truscott Rossman Judy Watson-Olson Youth Development Consultant Larry Williamson Comcast Cable E. Mil es Wilson Johnson Center for Philanthropy Those 6 applications have gone through a comprehensive, two-part review process, which took place in November, 2013. 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 ofthe 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 �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 ofthe process. Applicants receive feedback, make edits to their applications, and re-submit their applications. Three (3) applications are being recommended for "competitive" funding as a result of this extensive review process. The staff used 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. In addition to the 3 "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. 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 January 22, 2014 and includes 3 new/recompetes applications and 7 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, and disaster services. CNCS will notify MCSC of its funding decisions regarding the competitive application package by May 2, 2014. Once the MCSC knows which (if any) applicants will be funded through the competitive funding, MCSC staff will make recommendations to the MCSC Board of Commissioners for which new and recompeting programs to support through formula funds . The MCSC staff recommends the following applicants be included in the MCSC's competitive application submission package to the Corporation for National and Community Service: �New or Recompete Michigan Association ofUnited Ways Request: $263,298 Number of members: 20 Full-time Service Area: Statewide Strategy : Michigan Association of United Ways (MAUW) proposes the creation of the Financial Empowerment Coaching Corps (FECC).
