This is a continuation of the effort started in 2011, which had as its goal, to expand the number of mentors matched with youth in and aging out of foster care. A meeting will be held with various DHS staff members on May 2nd to discuss this effort and develop a proposal. In addition, Ginna Holmes presented to the Faith Based Summit on April 29th to request their involvement in providing resources, both through the recruitment of mentors and providing monetary support, for the expansion of existing programs which specialize in mentoring for youth in foster care. Mentoring Field Research Mentor Michigan Specialist, Chad Veeser, has been leading efforts to gather current information on the mentoring field. Contact has been made with nearly all423 mentoring programs listed in the Volunteer Referral Service (Michigan's online directory ofmentoring programs). These programs represent over 300 organizations. In addition, a comparison of all eight waves of the Mentor Michigan Census, and additional surveys, was conducted to explore trends in the mentoring field. The purpose of this work has been to determine a baseline network of operational mento ring organizations within the State of Michigan and to more clearly defme resources that are needed for programs to expand their efforts. Included in this update is a chart, which outlines the information gathered. Quality Based Mentoring Mentor Michigan is piloting a Quality Based Mentoring review process with three programs. Each program completed a self-assessment to determine program strengths and areas needing improvement. Currently, a review of this information is being completed to identify recommendations and assist with enhancing their programs. As the process continues, work plans will be developed that outline quality enhancements. Mentor Michigan will assist programs with accessing appropriate resources. Mentor Michigan staff believes in the importance of this work, but it is becoming clear that it will be difficult to scale this effort up and provide support to all mentoring programs without increasing capacity. Partnering with the Michigan Department of Natural Resources In December 2013, employees of the Michigan Department ofNatural Resources, Fisheries Division, held a silent auction with the proceeds benefiting Mentor Michigan. In total, the group raised $3 ,482 that will be distributed by Mentor Michigan to mentoring programs throughout the state. The funds will be distributed this spring in the form of mini-grants for mentoring programs to support fishing-related activities and expenses. The DNR will provide a resource guide for mentoring programs with a variety of ideas on how to use these funds . Future Planning Meeting On April3 , 2014, Mentor Michigan staff met with leadership from the Providers Council and the chair of the board' s Mentor Michigan Youth Development Work Team. At this meeting, the team began to identify the process that will be used to determine the next steps for Mentor Michigan. A meeting of the full Providers Council and Work Team will be held on June 5, 2014. A detailed report will be provided during April 30th board meeting. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Michigan will host their eighth annual AmeriCorps Week May 12-17, 2014. AmeriCorps Week is an opportunity to bring more Americans into service, salute AmeriCorps members and alums for their powerful impact, and thank the community partners who make AmeriCorps possible. This year's theme, AmeriCorps Works, communicates the value and effectiveness of AmeriCorps while providing flexibility to be used in many different contexts. The MCSC is encouraging programs to use AmeriCorps Week to educate legislators and program stakeholders about AmeriCorps, and has provided materials and resources to support programs with their AmeriCorps Week efforts. Michigan's AmeriCorps programs have coordinated five Regional Russ Mawby Signature Service Projects to be held during this year's Michigan's AmeriCorps Week. MCSC Commissioners are welcome and encouraged to attend any of the following regional projects: • SE .MI (Detroit)- May 10, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17 (9:00am-4 :00pm) ~ Ar-1ERtCORPS WORI(s • Mid-.MI (Lansing)- May 16 (8 :30am-5:00pm) ---__ • West .MI (Grand Rapids)- May 16 (8:30am-5:00pm) • Northern .MI (Mackinaw City)- May 16 (9 :00am-3 :30pm) • The U.P.

Once the competitive process has been completed, the MCSC will make decisions about formula and supplemental funding. Recommendations for formula funding will be brought to the Board in early June. 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 of the 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 Michigan's AmeriCorps Week May 12-17. Other submissions will be highlighted through the MCSC website. SAVE-THE-DATE: 20 1b Anniversary of AmeriCorps- September 12,2014 The 20th anniversary of the signing of the legislation that created AmeriCorps was September of2013.

Global Youth Service Day To build a cohesive and comprehensive National Days of Service platform for the entire state, the MCSC works with the Michigan Nonprofit Association, Volunteer Centers of Michigan, Michigan Campus Compact, and The LEAGUE Michigan, with support from the Connect Michigan Alliance Endowment Fund, Sara Ballard Volunteer Fund, Youth Service America, and the Corporation for National and Community Service, on three key National Days of Service. These National Days of Service include Youth Service America's Global Youth Service Day, which took place in mid-April. For the 2014 Global Youth Service Day, the National Days of Service in Michigan partners supported a total of 34 local projects, with mini-grant funds totaling more than $11,000. Projects focused on education, economic opportunities, supporting veterans and military families, health, clean energy/environmental stewardship, disaster preparedness, and public safety. Projects selected for funding include K-12 schools, higher education institutions, Volunteer Centers, AmeriCorps and AmeriCorps*VISTA program sites, and other community based organizations with geographic representation of the state. Thanks to these mini-grants, hundreds of Michigan youth were able to lend their conside rable resources to addressing critical issues in their communities as part of Global Youth Service Day. Statewide Public Relations Campaign on Volunteerism The "Volunteer, Michigan" campaign is launching April 30, 2014, during the annual Giving and Volunteering event at the State Capitol.

Excerpt from President George Bush's statement, November 1990 Introduction In November 1990 President Bush signed into law the National and Community Service Act of 1990. This is the most significant citizen service legislation since 1961 when President Kennedy called upon America's youth to serve in the Peace Corps. The act provides the federal support to stimulate the development of innovative service opportunities for all citizens that will foster the ethic of service and good citizenship among children, youth and older Americans. The legislation authorizes $287 million over three years. Fifty-six million has been appropriated for fiscal year 1991 for the creation and expansion of service-learning and schoolaged community service programs, campus-based service programs, and full-time and part-time service and conservation corps programs. The act will be administered at the federal level by a new Commission on National and Community Service comprised of a 21 member Board of Directors appointed by the President and confirmed by the Senate. States can apply, on a competitive basis, for funding in one or more of the program areas specified in the legislation by submitting a state plan to the Commission. In July President Bush announced twenty nominees to be members of the Board of Directors for the Commission on National and Community Service. The Senate confirmed 16 of the 20 nominees in August and completed confirmation of the Commission nominees in September. The purpose of this publication is to assist states as they develop their state plans. It presents an overview of the act and the types of programs that it funds and ideas for how states can design plans for a comprehensive service initiative. Federal and State Initiatives The nation's first large scale, federally supported service initiative began in 1933 when President Roosevelt launched the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC). This federal program was primarily intended to reduce unemployment among youth during the Depression, but there were other positive outcomes for the young men and women who participated in the CCC. Reports from Corps members' reunions indicate that the value of the CCC experience extended beyond obtaining a job. Many reported the development of feelings of self-worth and camaraderie. �(Lewis, 1988) It was not until 1961, when President Kennedy asked young people to serve in the Peace Corps, that the federal government renewed its interest in the concept of helping and caring for one another. In the 1970s and 1980s, growing concerns about the effects of dramatic demographic and economic changes on youth and families reawakened our national interest in service and in building strong communities. Although community service has long been an integral part of the American experience, the rise in poverty, changes in family structures that have affected the way we raise and nurture our children, unemployment among young adults, and a decreasing commitment to community service among young people have all contributed to the nation's keen interest in making a concerted effort to promote community service for all citizens. In the mid-1970s, the National Panel on High School and Adolescent Education proposed greater opportunities for young people to do public service. In 1983, Ernest Boyer, president of the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching, proposed a new Carnegie unit for high school graduation based on community or school service. In 1985, the Maryland State Board of Education adopted a bylaw requiring school districts to provide service opportunities to all students for credit as an elective course. In 1987, the state of Pennsylvania launched the governor's citizen service initiative, PennServe, aimed at promoting and supporting service among all citizens, from kindergartners to senior citizens. In that same year, the Minnesota State Legislature approved a 50 cent per capita levy for youth service through the state's community education program, and in 1989 passed legislation similar to the Maryland bylaw, requiring every school district to provide all youth with opportunities for service-learning and other service activities. Some school districts have also been active in promoting greater opportunities for youth to participate in community service activities. In the 1980s, Atlanta and Detroit were two of the first large school districts in the country to require community service for graduation. The actual number of school districts that have some kind of community service requirement is not certain. However, two recent surveys indicate that a larger than expected number of school districts provide some kind of community service opportunity for students at the high school level. In a 1989 survey conducted by the California State Department of Education, 110 of the 200 school districts that responded, reported having some kind of community service program at the high school level. Nineteen of the 108 school districts responding to a questionnaire on community service sent out by the Georgia Department of Education and Clark Atlanta University reported that they had community service learning programs in place and another 14 indicated that such programs were being planned. Youth service has become a focus of several leading private foundations. Publications such as the William T. Grant Foundation's The Forgotten Half: Pathways to Success for America's Youth and Young Families and the Carnegie Corporation's Turning Points: Education in the Twenty-First Century strongly urge states and school districts to enact policies to support widespread opportunities for youth service. They further propose that such opportunities be a part of the school's core program. 2 ·, ' �At the national level, the Congress demonstrated its support of youth service with the passage of the American Conservation Corps Act in late 1984 (a bill which President Reagan later vetoed). In 1988, President Bush built on his campaign theme of a "Thousand Points of Light" by establishing an Office of National Service and announcing his proposal for a national service initiative, Youth Engaged in Service (YES). About the same time the President was proposing the YES initiative, Congress was busy considering several national and community youth service bills. Of these legislative proposals, the following four contained many of the features of the National and Community Service Act of 1990: • "Serve to America Act," introduced by Senator Edward Kennedy and known as Serve America. This bill would have established nationwide opportunities for voluntary service for Americans of all ages, with special emphasis on school- and college-based programs. It would have provided funds for start-up grants for educational institutions and community-based agencies to create or expand service opportunities for students from kindergarten through college. It also would have encouraged Job Training Partnership Act (JTPA) grantees to create or expand fulltime and summer youth corps programs. • "Citizen and National Service Act," introduced by Senator Sam Nunn and Congressman Dave McCurdy. This legislation would have allowed participants to serve for one or two years in a Citizen Corps doing community service for $100 a week, or two years active duty in the military for two-thirds of regular pay plus six years in the reserves. Civilian volunteers would have received $10,000 for each year of service, and two year military volunteers would have received $24,000. The money, in the form of vouchers, was to be used for education, training or down payment on a home. This legislation also called for participation in national service as a condition for receipt of federal student aid (both loans and grants). • "American Conservation Corps and Youth Service Corps Act," introduced by Senator Christopher Dodd and Congressman Leon Panetta. Through this legislation the federal government would have awarded matching grants to states for the development of volunteer conservation and other service corps programs tailored to meet state needs. The bill proposed a Youth Service Corps to assist private and public nonprofit organizations in providing service in their communities. The bill was designed to provide service opportunities for youth ages 16-25 and envisioned a service period of 6 months to two years. Post-service benefits were to include grants for education or job training vouchers. 3 �• "National Community/Service Act," introduced by Senator Barbara Mikulski and David Bonir. This bill was modeled after the National Guard. Participants would have served two weekends a month and two weeks a year in their neighborhoods for three to six years in return for a $3,000 voucher for each year of service. The vouchers were intended to be used for the down payment on a house, to pay off a federal college loan, and to pay school tuition. 4 �The National and Community Service Act of 1990 Summary of the Act "Democracy means more than the freedom to pursue our own selfinterest. It also means the responsibility to participate in the life of the community and the nation, the responsibility to give something back to America in return for all it has given us. This commitment to public service has been the hallmark of the best of the American experience. Yet there are disturbing signs that we have lost sight of that principle in recent years, and we need to find it again in the 1990s." Senator Edward Kennedy Phi Delta Kappan, June 1991 The National and Community Service Act calls for the collaboration of many organizations for the expressed purpose of expanding quality community service opportunities to more youth. The act also represents the first national support of its kind for citizen service that includes resources to create and expand service programs for different age groups in various communities throughout the country. Five program areas are funded through the act- school-based community service K-12, higher education or campus-based service, full- and part-time service and conservation corps, national and community full- and part-time service programs, and YouthBuild programs. All the programs are funded through the Commission on National and Community Service at the federal level except for the YouthBuild programs which are funded through the ACTION Agency in consultation with the Department of Labor. 3 The fiscal year t~~fappropriations, ~ $ ~illion, are divided in the following manner: Appropriations for Fiscal 1991 T~I (_ J /C. · f~ Subtitle B - not less than 30% for school-based community service, servicelearning, and higher education campus-based programs = $.14 .5 ft"lifiton (_O:b~) Subtitle C - not less than 30% for full- and part-time service and conservation corps = $16.5 million Subtitle D not less than 30% for national and community service (demonstration) programs = $16.5 million Subtitle G- Commission on National and Community Service = $2 million 5 .......______________________________________ �Title II Subtitle B - YouthBuild = $1 million Title III Points of Lights Foundation = $5 million The purpose of the act is to: • renew the ethic of civic responsibility in the United States; • ask citizens of the United States, regardless of age or income, to engage in fulltime or part-time service to the Nation; • call on young people to serve in programs that will benefit the Nation and improve the life chances of the young through acquisition of literacy and job skills; • enable young Americans to make a sustained commitment to service by removing barriers to service that have been created by high education costs, loan indebtedness, and the cost of housing; • build on the existing organizational framework of Federal, State and local programs and agencies to expand full-time and part-time service opportunities for all citizens, particularly youth and older Americans; • involve participants in activities that would not otherwise be performed by employed workers; and • generate additional service hours each year to help meet human, educational, environmental, and public safety needs, particularly those needs relating to poverty.

States have begun to plan and in some cases actually prepare their state plans. Listed below are suggested action steps for states as they develop their plans: 1. The .&overnor designates a lead state agency to coordinate the develo pment of the state a pplication. Although the legislation does not require the governor to designate a lead agency to coordinate the development of the state plan, in order to develop a comprehensive state plan that includes all program areas it is advisable to have one state agency coordinate its development. The lead agency should be responsible for devising the process by which the state plan will be developed making sure that all the a11grogriate agencies and organizations are part of that process. A few states have identified lead agencies and have begun a process for developing a comprehensive state plan. In some states, the state education agency has been designated lead agen~ in others a community development agency or labor agency have been designated. IThe section of the plan ·;I. dealing with service-learning and school-based programs must be written by the state education agency./ States are strongly encouraged to make a concerted effort to design a state plan that includes all the programs areas and ensures that all appropriate agencies and organizations are provided the opportunity to contribute to its development. 2. The chief state school officers designates education agency staff members to develop appropriate state education agency plan for the K-12 program area. It is essential that the chief state school officer designate state education agency staff to develop the state plan for the K-12 program area. Staff should consider working closely with representatives from higher education in designing a plan that will connect both program areas. Higher education programs involving college students in service-learning activities with elementary, middle, or high school students should be considered. 3. The governor or lead agency establishes a state advisory group to assist in developing the state application. The state advisory group should include representatives from the governor's office, the state education agency, the state office of volunteerism (if the state has one), state and regional conservation and service corps for youth and senior citizens, state higher education, state youth service and leadership organizations, state legislature, and state and local private foundations. One of the first activities for the lead agency should be to identify which agencies and organizations should be part of the advisory group. 4. The lead agency, working with members of the advisory group, should conduct a state inventory of existing service programs. The purpose of such an inventory is to 27 �develop a base of knowledge of the number and kinds of school- and campus-based service programs, full- and part-time conservation and service corps, and other citizen service or voluntary programs that are being operated at the state and local levels. A review of the results may provide the advisory group .with ideas as to how innovative programs can be developed that build upon or enhance existing service or volunteer activities. 28 �104 STAT. 3132 PUBLIC LAW 101-610-NOV. 16, 1990 (25) STATE.-The term "State" means each of the several States, the District of Columbia, the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, Guam, American Samoa, the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, and Palau, until such time as the Compact of Free Association is ratified.

K. Kellogg Foundation of Battle Creek, Michigan. 23 �INTEREST GROUP CAUCUS DISCUSSIONS Groups from five youth service interest areas, Community-Based Organizations, K- 12, Service and Conservation Corps, Higher Education, and Youth Involvement, met to discu~s youth service issues in their respective fields and opportunities for program development. Below is a summary their recommendations. COMMUNITY BASED ORGANIZATIONS The group representing Community-Based Organizations began their discussion by identifying common goals. They were most interested with developing means for drawing youth into their organizations. They recognized youth service as both a method of youth development and a practical approach for recruiting youth into their organizations. Common Goals: • • • • • • Design a system that values young people as resources Promote educational development and growth Encourage young people to commit to community service Involve young people in issue areas that concern them Recognize service as part of personal development Identify collaboration links and program resources Expand positive opportunities for young people Recognize the short- and long-term value of youth service The group produced a ten point list for developing opportunities for youth service. The group emphasized the importance of training and state-wide, inter-organizational network development. They also stressed the importance of providing meaningful opportunities for youth to share in this process. There should be a sustained and coordinated connection between youth service programs and broader volunteer efforts. Points for Development: • • • • • • Training programs for adults, youth, and agencies Inter-organizational information networks Youth Ownership Community agency ownership Long-term, broad-based community support Institutionalize youth service Evaluate individual and state-wide programs Volunteer Recognition Criteria for program development Link youth service and other voluntary efforts Limited training, staffing, and funding are seen as challenges to attaining these goals. Young people must also have visible leadership roles.. The task of increasing youth leadership opportunities in these efforts without causing concern among adults in established roles requires careful attention. 24 �Challenges: • • Limited training resources Limited staff Creating youth ownership Tun issues Limited funding Involving youth who are not students K-12 EDUCATION This group looked at ways of institutionalizing service in the schools. Common Goals: • • Service opportunities in every middle and high school Service integrated into the curriculum Service as an important consideration for college admission Each local school program should be allowed to develop according to its owns needs. However, all schools should participate in the public promotion of youth service, emphasize multi-cultural programming, and establish formal evaluation processes. Workshops and conferences should be conducted for youth and agency contacts. Transportation assistance and liability coverage issues require further consideration. Points for Development: • • • • • • Create local ownership by principals, counselors, teachers and students Promote model programs Emphasize multi-cultural programs Develop means for qualitative program evaluation Conduct workshops for schools and agencies on collaborative youth service program development State conferences for young people involved in community service programs Develop a transportation infastructure Establish a standard policy for volunteer liability SERVICE AND CONSERVATION CORPS This group concentrated on new directions for corps programs. Sustained funding is a major concern. The group recommended that a bipartisan state commission on youth service explore creative funding strategies drawing on public and private resources. Future program viability will also depend on strong local community support, including the private sector. Youth service needs greater recognition; a leader and spokesperson to carry the youth service message across the state. On a more philosophical level, the definition of youth service must be inclusive. 25 �Points for Development: • • • • • • • • Joint (MCC/NBA) use and development of resources and programs Create a state-wide youth corps advisory council Involve educators in corps efforts Increase leveraging of JTPA , Vocational Education, CDBG, and Vocational Rehabilitation funds Develop overall (MCC/NBA) coordination Identify a spokesperson for youth service Explore the feasibility of a state-wide youth service corporation Create a bipartisan state commission with representatives from corporations, corps, community-based organizations, foundations, youth, labor, and state agencies Involve the private sector in funding, personnel, training, and mentoring Improve private sector local support Additional Points: • • Ensure that the definition of service includes corps programs Explore broad collaborations based on more than those suggested in the National and Community Service Act. HIGHER EDUCATION Representatives from colleges and universities drew up a list of important points that will advance service in their institutions. Youth community service should be fully integrated into all aspects of campus life. Colleges and universities should increase their collaboration with other organizations that are involved in youth service. Special emphasis should be made in linking campuses to the communities around them. Training workshops and community service programs on all campuses throughout the state are also priorities. Points for Development: • • • • • .. • • Push for a Governor's comprehensive youth service plan Promote an integrated service curriculum Promote service research Promote collaborative programs with K-12, teacher training, community activities, and youth leadership Create new service approaches such as: College student corps programs Involving non-traditional students Internships Develop active programs on all Michigan campuses Use college students in building other programs Institutionalize service learning in the university structure YOUTII INVOLVEMENT The youth attending the conference came up with three broad categories of interest: service opportunities, quality and quantity of programs, and ways to instill a lifetime ethic of service. 26 �Organizations should work collaborativly to establish regional and state networks and clearinghouses to assist in spreading information. Increased youth involvement in policy development and implementation would allow young people to feel a sense of ownership in their programs. Greater participant diversity will improve the educational value of programs. Common Goals: • • • Create a state-wide Volunteer Clearinghouse Agency that would promote: Information and dissemination on youth service Program networking Volunteer recognition Local and regional clearinghouses State and community coalition building Youth involvement in policy development and implementation Diversity of participants Service and Conservation Corps, school-based, mentoring, and community-based programs should be expanded. Broader training opportunities and common quality standards for all programs are important. Points for Development: • • • • • • Expand service and conservation corps programs Improve school based programs: Integrate service into the curriculum Train school coordinators aware of service opportunities Strengthen community-based programs Develop collaborative models among community-based programs, service corps, and school programs Develop mentoring programs: Students as mentors Peer to peer relationships Link service reflection to learning about relevant social issues Broadly implement quality standards accepted by the youth service field The development of a lifetime ethic of service is an overarching goal. The importance of youth service, for the community and young people should be demonstrated by recognizing achievement, forgiving. and/or deferring student loans, and promoting career opportunities in the non-profit, public service sector. Promoting a Lifetime Commitment: • • • • A wards and recognition Loan forgiveness and deferral for students involved Evaluation and reflection which allow young people to understand the significance of their actions Encouragement of youth to enter careers in the non-profit and public service sector. 27 �COLLABORATION CAUCUS GROUP DISCUSSIONS On the second day conference participants were divided into four inter-interest groups to collaborativly explore future directions for youth service in Michigan. The recommendations of the four groups shared similar themes. Therefore the summary combines group reports into three thematic categories: diversity, youth leadership, and educational issues. DIVERSITY Youth service programs should emphasize diverse participation. Diversity should reflect gender, age, culture, race, and class. Intergenerational and mentoring programs are important models with which to connect. The caucus groups indicated that young people, Native Americans, youth service program operators, and people from northern communities and Detroit should have greater representation in future youth service activities. Increase Participation of: • • Youth, including at-risk Metro Detroit Northern Communities Native American communities Youth service program operators Consider Linking: • Intergenerational projects Mentoring programs Joint projects (Higher Ed. and K-12) Collaborative community action councils YOUTH LEADERSHIP Community agencies must develop and display trust in young people. Community organizations and schools should be encouraged to take risks and try new things to involve young people. Public relations campaigns to highlight positive contributions of youth service can improve perceptions about the value of youth contributions to the community. Agencies should create development tracks for young people to grow into positions responsibility. Young people should be involved in program planning. Youth should be allowed to share in program ownership by contributing to projects from inception.through implementation. Youth involvement should not be limited to established youth leaders. Youth service can develop new leaders among young people. Enhancing Community Agency-youth Relations: • • Give project operators and schools room to try new things Create a broad range of opportunities for youth Promote youth accomplishments Establish local advisory groups to ensure projects meet local needs 28 �• Develop roles for young people that allow them to grow in responsibility Advancing Youth Leadership Opportunities: • • • Young people should be seen as resources Young people need to be able to advance issues and ideas of interest to them Development of Youth Action Councils Establishment of regular youth conferences and workshops Mini-grants to fund innovative ideas Use service as an opportunity to develop new youth leaders EDUCATIONAL ISSUES A important goal of youth service is to teach civic responsibility. The concept of service needs to be expanded to include various types of programs. Service must become a pan of the curriculum. Goals: • • • Instilling civic responsibility as goal of youth service should be emphasized in all service reflection activities Use service to enhance the teaching of values Expand the definition of service to allow all communities to participate Points for Development: • Expand to view of educators to include the world outside the classroom Integrate service into the curriculum 29 �COLLABORATION CAUCUS RECOMMENDATIONS SHORT-TERM The most imponant step for Michigan take at this time is the formation of an advisory committee to determine the state's plan for applying for federal funds available through the National and Community Service Act of 1990. The committee should decide on goals and draft a comprehensive proposal for the federal funding. The committee should seek reaction from various organizations and individuals before submitting the application and continue to seek the advice and counsel of program practitioners in future initiatives. Goals of steering committee: Review notes from conference Draft proposal of state-wide youth service plan Circulate proposal to various groups Draft final plan for federal funds and long-term strategy Conference participants expressed concern that steering committee membership should be diverse based on age, geography, and program background. Young people should be included. An appropriate size for the group should be 15 people. The committee should be a working committee. Lansing is an appropriate central meeting location. Committee membership: • • Should be 15 Must be include people of various backgrounds The committee should be a working Must be include young people Groups and individuals should be encouraged to form local coalitions in their communities. Information from the conference should be shared with non-participants. Activities outside the Committee: • • Formation of local coalitions Spreading of information to conference non-participants YSA will Disseminate follow-up materials to all participants LONG-TERM Although the conference participants could not anticipate the results of the federal funding process. they began formulating long-term goals for the state's youth community service initiative. The steering committee should evolve into a bipartisan, state task force with responsibility of coordinating technical suppon for all programs throughout the state. Assistance necessary includes state-wide training and networking conferences for youth and agencies, 30 �a research group to develop new programs, legislation to limit volunteer liability, the creation of a mini-grant program to fund innovative projects, a coordinated public relations campaign to share success stories, and the implementation of a quality control efforts. Diversity of programs and participants should be increased whenever possible. Participation of young people in planning should continue. Long-tenn goals: • • • • • • • Fonnation of a bipartisan Task Force Conferences for youth and agency representatives to provide training and networking Passage of volunteer liability legislation Creation of a mini-grant program Beginning of public relations activities Creation of a newsletter for agencies .Oevelopment of a quality control program for individual and state-wide programs Diversity of opportunities-a program for everyone Youth involvement in planning and implementation 31 �THE FIRST FOLLOW-UP PLANNING MEETING July 15, 1991 at the Holiday Inn, Lansing, Michigan Hosted by the Council of Michigan Foundations On July 15, 1991 the Council of Michigan Foundations hosted a day-long meeting in Lansing for self-selected participants of the June 10-11 conference and additional interested parties to continue planning for the Michigan youth service initiative. Dorothy Johnson, the President of the Council of Michigan Foundations welcomed participants and called the meeting to order. Ms. Johnson and members of her staff including Kathy Agard and Jim McHale were joined by representatives of the meeting's co-sponsoring organizations: Diana Algra, Executive Director of the Michigan Campus Compact; Maryellen Lewis, Executive Director of the Michigan NonProfit Forum; Roberta Stanley, Executive Assistant Superintendent for State and Federal Relations, Michigan Department of Education; and Frank Dirks, Field Organizer for Youth Service America. The special guest for the meeting was Michelle Engler, the First Lady of Michigan. Ms. Engler was accompanied by Stephanie Comai-Page, Social Welfare Policy Advisor from the Governor's Office. Maura Wolfe, Youth Engaged in Service Coordinator for the Points of Light Foundation also attended the meeting. After Ms. Johnson's opening remarks, Ms. Engler outlined the state's response since the June Conference. .. Governor Engler will appoint a commission on youth service. • Michelle Engler will chair the commission. . • The commission will develop Michigan's funding application to the National and Community Service Commission. • Michigan's commission will focus on youth service. • The commission will be housed, at least initially, in the Executive Office of the Governor. • The commission should be appointed by mid-August. • Projections of size range from 15 to 21 commission members. .. The commission will be representative of the diversity of the state. • The commission will have an indefinite term. It will be created by executive order and can only be ended with an executive order. • Initially, commission members will have staggered terms- 1/3 for 1 year, 1/3 for 2 years, and 1/3 for three years. Ultimately, membership will be three years. • Meeting participants should submit nominations for commission members to Stephanie Comai-Page. The Governor's Office has already collecting names. • Young people will be represented on the commission. • Provisions are being made to staff the commission. The Governor's Office is also seeking names for the position of Executive Director for the commission. • The participants of this and the June meeting will serve as an informal advisory group for the commission. Following Ms. Engler's comments the co-sponsors offered some remarks. 32 �Roberta Stanley • The State Board of Education is interested in youth service. • The State Board is holding a conference in September on related 1ssues. • Michigan's congressional delegation is important to the future of federal funding support for and implementation of this initiative. The delegation in Washington needs to become aware of the state's increasing interest in youth service. Diana Algra • Service is important issue for college and university presidents in Michigan. • Program partnerships linking colleges and communities are will be valuable to promote. Maryellen Lewis • The Forum is disseminating information throughout its network. Frank Dirks (Mr. Dirks served as facilitator for the rest of the meeting.) • The task of this planning meeting is to begin to formulate a series of recommendations for the state commission to consider for the state plan. The planning timeline will be very short. • The appointment of the state commission advances Michigan to a strong position among the states developing youth service plans. • The White House is supposed to submit National Commission nominees to the Senate for confirmation before the August recess. • State applications could be due as early as early October. • YSA anticipates a carry-over ofFY '91 funds that have not been spent. • The federal legislation provides the context for this discussion but should not be a limiting factor. The development of a statewide youth service plan is the right thing to do whether or not there is federal funding. • The National Commission will have 21 members serving 3 year terms. Initially, terms will be staggered. The Secretaries of Education, Health and Human Services, Labor, and Agriculture, and the Director of ACTION will serve as ex-officio members. • This group should continue to advise the new state commission arid serve as a broader pool of program technical resources. The group reviewed and discussed the funded titles in the National and Community Service Act and the status of other state development efforts. Information related to this review is reflected in the appendix. 33 �The group reviewed the basic themes drawn from the June conference. • • • • · • Promote collaboration. Build program capacity. Ensure program sustainability beyond support through the Act. Draw on the strength and experience of existing programs and organizations. Consider new and alternative program and organizational approaches and arrangements. • Promote program and participant diversity. The group then reviewed issues of particular interest to the National Commission that should be addressed in a state application. • The plan should be comprehensive. • The plan should promote and suppon program and organizational collaboration. • The plan should be sustainable. • Funding drawn from the Act must supplement not supplant current . state funding for programs targeted in the plan. The group recessed for lunch. The luncheon speaker was Maura Wolfe, of the Point of Light Foundation. She provided an overview of the Foundation's activities and introduced the Youth Ambassador program. The Points of Light Foundation efforts to promote and encourage voltinteerism across the generations include: • National advertising campaigns. • Coordinating and mobilizing existing resources including corporate leaders to promote volunteerism. • Identifying effective programs disseminating information about them. One of the administrative divisions at the Foundation is called Youth Engaged in Service (YES). YES is about to launch a major new program to promote youth service, the YES Youth Ambassadors. The program will be piloted for one year in three states beginning in September 1991. Michigan is being considered as one of the three states. Below is a summary of the program. • The goals are to connect people, build coalitions, and share information at state, regional and national levels. • Two young people will be serve as full-time state liaison/organizers for the Foundation. • They will be assigned to work for a lead state agency/organization, such as the Governor's new commission. • They will host a minimum of two Points of Light Action Forums to inform state groups about youth service. " They will actively work to involve youth in service. • They will help to organize a data bank of services and resources. • They will be trained by Points of Light in Washington. • They need to be on the job by September. 34 �• They should reflect diverse youth participation. • Points of Light is looking at Michigan as a model of state development. • The state organization/agency to which the ambassadors are assigned must: -Provide them with office space, -Provide direction and guidance for works plans and activities. -Make a one-year commitment to the program. -Provide assistance in "opening doors". The group re-convened after lunch to continue discussion of considerations important to a state plan. These considerations can be broken into four broad categories- the process for and structure of the youth service initiative in Michigan; youth empowerment through program and process design; education and training for program practitioners and policymakers; and best approaches for program design. A summary of issues raised and recommendations made in each of these categories follows. PROCESS/STRUCTURE Can the state commission members represent organizations that will want to be funding recipients? How will this potential question of conflict of interest be handled? Ensure that the state process encourages local groups to build coalitions in order to pursue funding through local initiatives. The term "community service" carries connotation ofalternative service for adjudicated violators of law. The language needs to be clarified. Emphasize family involvement... many students need family members to provide transportation ... youth service can be a way of involving families in volunteerism. Ensure that the efforts developed through the initiative creates a "seamless" state youth service structure. Local neighborhood service activities are preferred among young people because of transportation concerns, time baniers, and the reward that comes from seeing the result of efforts in your own neighborhood. Programs and projects should come from the community rather than being imposed from the top. Longevity is dependent upon this ownership. Labor union involvement is important. Youth service must not be seen as a way of supplanting jobs. Representatives of organized labor need to be a part of the process. What is the goal of the Act- youth development or community development? The federal support should be used to jump-start sustainable programs/projects. Include Michigan's many resources for long-term planning and support. Don't just rely on the federal money. 35 �Develop incentives and rewards for local collaboration. Volunteer Action Centers can play imponant roles by serving as information clearinghouses, providing student mini-grant, and coordinating new project development. Funding must flow directly to local levels. Require collaboration in mini-grant requests at the local level. Consider developing a competitive grant process. Guidelines need to be shared on principles of good practice with the service organizations. Make volunteerism more accessible for "at risk" youth and families. Set up mechanisms for local communities to solve problems on their own. Ensure that people from the grass-roots can contribute to the planning process. Ensure that students, teachers, and agencies can contribute. Create a state service and conservation corps advisory committee. Creatively use and involve the 4-H and community college systems. Look at the strengths and weakness of the Minnesota model. Learn what happened with the state volunteer clearinghouse under Gov. Miliken. Develop a centralized data system with direct local access and satellite local data systems. Create incentives that emphasize the value and importance of service and volunteerism. Teach volunteers to develop a volunteer portfolio of experiences. Include corporations as a strategy for long term planning. K -12/corps/service relationships. YOUTH EMPOWERMENT Use the resources of groups like those represented in this room to survey young people across the state on how grant request should be structured and use those responses in the application. Establish local community panels that include youth to assess local projects and service opportunities. Train organizations in the development and implementation of volunteer programs to make them "volunteer friendly". Need to be "youth friendly ". Involve Youth at-risk 36 �Important to allow youth to participate in problem and solution identification. The youth perspective important. EDUCATION/TRAINING Special efforts must be made with MEA and other unions to assure that the schools are welcoming to youth volunteers, youth service curriculums and education. Be sure to recognize and answer concerns about job potenital displacement. Education and training should be a theme including opponunities for youth reflection and civic responsibility. Youth volunteer jobs should have an educational component.

Ms. Lewis was joined by representatives of the meeting's co-sponsoring organizations: Kathy Agard, Program Director for the Council of Michigan Foundations; Diana Algra, Executive Director of the Michigan Campus Compact; Roberta Stanley, Executive Assistant Superintendent for State and Federal Relations, Michigan Department of Education; and Frank Dirks, Field Organizer for Youth Service America. Stephanie Comai-Page, representing the Governor's Office was also in attendance. Participants had been asked in a memo sent to them prior to the meeting to record their responses to the questions posed at the end of the July, 15 meeting. The following in a summary of the questions and the written answers that were submitted. What are principles you believe should guide the Governor's Commission to create a youth service plan for Michigan? • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • Build upon success while encouraging innovation. Consider the benefits for participants and the state. Quality is more important than quantity. Include all sectors in planning and programming. Involve young people in planning. Ensure that youth are members of the commission. Encourageinnovation. Consider a variety of programs from a variety of areas. Ensure geographic representation. Link to existing business and education partnerships. Give special attention to urban areas. Ensure local community support and ownership. Promote outcome driven efforts. Maintain realistic expectations of financial and human requirements and availability. Address real community needs. Institutionalize new programs and expand established programs. Ensure that youth service experiences are meaningful for youth. Give priority to actual projects over clearinghouse models. Collaboration must be defined as involving community residents, not just community agencies. Maintain consistent and broadly disseminated standards for program practice. Involve youth in community partnerships. What are measurable outcomes that should be specified for a successful local collaboration for youth community service under the Michigan youth service plan? • • • • • Project progress. Impact on participants. Value of work accomplished. Number of persons effectively served. Program efficiency. 39 �• Long term effect. • Diversity of participants and agencies, and services provided. Leadership roles taken by youth. • Extent of business partnerships. • Retention of youth in programs. • Sustainability of programs. • Level of youth involvement in program planning and decisionmaking • The structure, intent, and practice of youth advisory councils. • The level and quality of local community agency support. What should be the commission's development plan and the process for fund distribution? • Grant applications should demonstrate- the buy-in of local partners, youth involvement in planning process, and should include expected outcomes, an operating plan, and a monitoring system. The gram review process should be inclusive and measure against the items above. • Use funding to support the formation of a program development infrastructure. Match existing resources. Local programs should be responsible for sustainability. • Support regional clearinghouses that promote the development of local coalitions and provide technical assistance and support that: '7 trains youth for service opportunities. - trains agencies to provide quality service experiences. - trains coalitions to raise funds to become self-supporting. • Utilize existing networks. Do not create a new bureaucracy. • The Governor's Commission should determine the criteria for grant proposals and selection. The Governor Romney, Janet Blanchard, Michelle Engler co-chaired Coordinating Committee on · Voluntarism should have an equal role in selecting local grantees. Local grantees should demonstrate the implementation of a local inter-agency committee on youth initiatives and the role of young people in the design and implementation of the local program. What are resources your organization or network will contribute towards the success of the Michigan youth service plan? Staff Expertise in: Program development Statewide program implementation and operation Administration Sub-granting Experience with past and present highly successful programs Information dissemination Access to student volunteers Limited Staff Support Expertise on and access to resource materials 40 �Information on collaboration models Video tape and handbook/guide may be reproduced and distributed Programmatic statistics and information may be shared Grantsmanship expertise Technical assistance to communities wishing to develop youth action councils Identification of local individuals and organizations The above questions served to frame the group discussion. Frank Dirks, of Youth Service America served as facilitator. Listed below is a summary of the points raised during the discussion. GUIDING PRINCIPLES Use existing systems, build on strength while encouraging innovation. Involve youth at all levels. Respond flexibility to local circumstances. Involve local coalitions. Applications should be judged on a point system where points are earned for each type of collaboration Youth Educators Business and private industry councils Seniors Handicapped Churches Collaboration requires community residents not just community agencies. Expand from existing programs. Outcomes should be based on community needs assessment. Broadly target "at risk" youth by giving additional points to those proposals. Involve those served in the planning and evaluation process. Make the process easy to understand and accessible. Make it easy for youth input. Ensure that support is not exclusively directed toward strong and well established programs. Mixture merit and potential. Support sustainable programs. Maintain a long-range plan. Emphasize quality over quantity. 41 �OUTCOMES There is very little research on the effect of service on youth development. Building a research base for youth service should be integrated into the plan. Research will help advance the initiative and guide new program development. Head Start research has influenced policy development. A sampling of suggested measures: Continued volunteer service. Service impact on the community. Attitude changes among youth servers and community members. Leadership roles taken by youth servers. Level of community agency involvement. Measures must look at the effect on servers and the community served. Use research to educate funding sources and win their support. Consider a "human service unit" formula, for instance, how many older Americans are served. Consider measures for the type of service provided. Enlist an independent evaluator to assess state-wide initiative. Establish an easy, yet uniform, reporting mechanism in order to build a comprehensive database. Link this to the independent evaluator. Include service benefits for youth: employability, group process skills, education goals. Link to national education goals. Research should not drive projects. Overall outcomes: community awareness, willingness to continue project, increased local funds for youth service programs.

K. Kellogg Foundation provided Youth Service America (YSA) with a grant to facilitate the development of a youth service policy framework in Michigan that emphasized program capacity building through institutional collaboration, networking, and public and private partnerships. The grant envisioned that the policy framework would set the context and direction for the state's application to the National and Community Service Commission for the funding of specific initiatives under the National and Community Service Act of 1990 [NCSA] (Public Law 101-610). The grant enabled YSA, in cooperation with the Michigan Campus Compact (MCC), the Council of Michigan Foundations (CMF), the Michigan Nonprofit Forum (MNF), and the Michigan State Board of Education, to sponsor an initial two-day planning conference. The conference (agenda attached), hosted by the MCC, brought together over 125 people from across Michigan representing K-12 education, higher education, full-time service and conservation corps, community based organizations, state officials, and young people. The conference served to crystalize interest in youth service, identify important planning issues, and engage program operators and advocates in youth service policy development. Shortly after the conference, First Lady Michelle Engler announced plans for the formation of the Michigan Community Service Commission. In August, the Points of Light Foundation designated Michigan to be one of three states to participate in the pilot Youth Ambassador Program. Interested conference participants attended two subsequent planning meetings in July. The one-day meetings also included some whom were unable attend the June conference. CMF hosted the first meeting and MNF the second. The meetings produced planning recommendations for the new commission (the conference and meetings report is attached). Participants also expressed their interest and commitment to support, advise, and assist the commission in its activities. Since the summer meetings, while the state commission became organized, YSA continued to compile information on service in Michigan and monitored developments with the National and Community Service Commission. The purpose of this report is to recommend a framework for service in Michigan that is both a practical synthesis of ideas developed during the summer meetings and a guide for submitting a federal funding application complementary in interest and emphasis to the national commission's agenda. There are six sections contained in this report. The first offers a definition of youth service and a review of the nationally recognized Principles of Best Practice for youth service programs. The next section briefly reviews NCSA and the national commission's most recently expressed views on implementation. The fourth section proposes a vision for service in Michigan. Section five enumerates suggested elements of a comprehensive state plan. The next section presents in detail elements of the plan that could be funded under NCSA. That is followed by a brief conclusion, and the last section contains supporting attachments. 2 �YOUTH SERVICE The key to understanding the first principle of youth service is to recognize that youth development and community service are inextricably linked. Youth service creates a synergystic dynamic in which a recipient becomes a provider, a provider becomes a recipient, and each is encouraged to learn from the process. An example of this in practice is a program that places students at risk of failure in the role of tutors for younger students. The validity of the fust principle of youth service has been supported by the success of peer tutoring program models and other service program models. An important practical note regarding the youth service dynamic is the implicit multiplier. In traditional service models the service provided generally stops at the recipient In the youth service model the recipient becomes a conduit The at-risk tutor receiving special attention and guidance passes it on to the younger student. This is not only important in looking at impact, but the model also serves as a program organizing device. This is a tactical point that should be considered in a strategic development plan. Youth service programs began developing a national self-consciousness in the mid 1980s. Until then, what is now known as the youth service "field", did not exist. Two Michigan foundations, theW. K. Kellogg Foundation and the Charles Stewart Mott Foundation, have played a crucial role in supporting the youth service field Their significant investments in youth service have enabled the field to grow and organize rapidly. Four general program categories make up the field: K-12, higher education, full-time and summer service and conservation corps, and community-based youth. National and local organizations representing those program categories have agreed upon common principles of practice for programs across the field. The national commission has adopted these principles generally as its standard. The principles of best practice for youth service programs follow the first principle already discussed. • Both communities and participating young people view service projects as needed by, and of real value to, the community. • Young people are viewed as a vital resource that can help meet pressing human and environmental needs in communities across the country. • Community service is recognized as a powerful form of citizenship education that imbues young people with an ethic of civic responsibility that carries into adulthood. • Projects and programs are carefully structured and require minimum hours of service for a sustained period. Young people are organized into well-planned and well-supervised groups. • A plan for meeting the developmental needs of young participants-- for education, basic skills, employability, leadership, and community commitment-- is integrated into the delivery of service. • Program design includes structured opportunities for reflection on the service experience. 3 �• Program design provides for adequate training of participants and the staff of community agencies and organizations in which participants will serve. • Appropriate incentives and rewards-- such as public recognition, school and college credits, scholarships, stipends, or salaries-- are used to encourage the participation of young people and to emphasize the value the community places upon the service ethic. • Programs undergo rigorous evaluation. • Programs inculcate a sense of community responsibility and citizenship. Young people involved in program design and direction. • Programs and projects respond to local needs, are best planned and administered at the state and local levels, and are an integral part of community and education policy. 4 �THE NATIONAL AND COMMUNITY SERVICE COMMISSION The National and Community Service Commission has repeatedly expressed its strong interest in receiving coordinated applications. A coordinated state application is the commission's preferred paradigm. According to the draft regulations, state applicants, "must submit a Comprehensive Service Plan. The plan should include a description of efforts to achieve the goals of the Act and the regulations. Funding provided under this Act should supplement an applicant's larger strategy for involving individuals in service. Therefore, the description should not be limited to activities that may receive NCSA funds,but should include information regarding the applicant's overall strategy for expanding commitment to service, including activities funded through other Federal, State, local, or private sector funding sources, and those that require no funding ... The plan should also include a description of the interrelationship among programs proposed to be funded under the Act.. States are strongly encouraged to establish a bipartisan and nonpartisan State Advisory Board." The commission recently has indicated that it will emphasize youth and families in its mission statement. States that integrate these themes into their plans will be in a stronger position. The following is the latest fact sheet distributed by the national commission. 5 �- - - - -- -- - - - - -- -- - --~~-~ COMMISSION ON NATIONAL AND CO:M:MUNITY SERVICE SUMMARY The Commission on National and Community Service was created to provide leadership in strengthening the spirit of community involvement for all citizens, especially the young. The Commission's grant program will stLmulate a wide array of service initiatives and will encourage community partnerships to address the educational, human service, environmental and public safety needs of the nation. The National and Community Service Act of 1990 (Public Law 101-610, as amended) provides program funds, training and technical assistance to States and communities to develop and expand service opportunities. The Act is intended to: * * * * * * * * * * Renew the ethic of civic responsibility in the United States Encourage citizens, regardless of age, income or ability, to engage in full-tLme or part-tLme service Involve youth in programs that benefit the nation and improve their own lives Enable young adults to make a sustained commitment to service by removing barriers created by high educat i on costs, loan indebtedness and the cost of housing Build on the network of existing federal, state, and local programs and agencies Involve participants in activi~ies that would not otherwise be performed by paid workers Generate additional volunteer service hours to help meet human, educational, environmental and public safety needs, particularly those related to poverty Encourage institutions to volunteer their resources and energies and to encourage service among their members, employees and affiliates Identify successful and promising community service initiatives and disseminate information about them Discover and encourage new leaders PROGRAM Commission funds will be available in four major categories: Serve-Aaerica. This year, $18.9 million is available for programs sponsored by schools or community-based agencies to involve school-aged youth in service to the community . It also supports programs that involve adult volunteers in the schools. Funding is allocated according to a state-level formula. Higher Education Innovative Projects For Coaaunity Service. Higher education institutions or public agencies working in partnership with those institutions can be awarded $5.6 million. . Funds will support student community service projects or teacher training in service-learning principles and skills. Aaerican Conservation Corps and Youth Service Corp• Prograa. Full-time, yearround conservation corps and youth service corps programs that take place in the summer months can receive $22.5 million. These programs must involve teenagera and young adults, who may receive job and skill training, living allowances and scholarships. Full-tiae and Part-tiae Hational and Coaaunity SerYice Prograas. As many as ten states may share $22.5 million in 1992 to engage individuals ages 17 and older in full-time or part-time service. Participants will receive education or housing benefits upon completion of their term of service. 6 �In addition, the Commission may fund several other types of programs; demonstration projects for rural youth, employer-based retiree volunteer programs, Governor's innovative service programs, Peace Corps/VISTA training program, and efforts to match Foster Grandparent programs with Head Start. The types of service activities are broadly defined; participants may perform any educational, human, environmental, or public safety service project that will benefit the community. In general, programs must include the following elements: • • • • • • Appropriate training and supervision of participants Recruitment of economically and educationally disadvantaged individuals and those with disabilities Involvement of participants in meaningful service experiences Learning components that are appropriate to the age of the participants Community partnerships in program planning and delivery Significant impact in achieving the goals of the Act FUNDS AND APPLICATIONS A total of S73m is available to the Commission in fiscal year 1992. In addition to program grants, the Commission will provide training and technical assistance and may fund four regional clearinghouses to give information and assistance to service programs. States may apply to receive funds under any or all of the four major program categories. They are strongly encouraged to establish a state advisory committee to assist in the development of a comprehensive state service plan and in the completion of the state applications. This committee should include representatives of state agencies and a variety of local and community-based organizations, labor, business, educators, parents, youth and volunteer organizations. Indian Tribes are considered as States under this Act and can submit applications as a State. Under some of the four major categories, if a state declines to submit an application, a local applicant such as a school, college, local government or community-based agency may apply directly to the Commission. These local applicants should contact their governor's office directly for information about the state planning and application process. Some sections of the Act require that applicants provide matching funds. Individual program applications must contain a program description and budget; and assurances that the applicant will comply with the Act (including nondiscrimination provisions and the requirement that participants not be used to displace paid employees), will use federal funds to supplement rather than supplant non-federal funds, and will consult with local la.bor organizations before placing participants in service positions. 7 �COMMISSION ON NATIONAL AND COMMUNITY SERVICE The Commieeion on National and Community Service wae created to provide leaderehip in etrenqthening the lpirit of community involvement for all citizen•, eepecially the young. The Commi11ion'1 grant program will 1timulate a wide array of 1ervice initiative• and will encourage community partnerships to addre•• the educational, human eervice, environmental and public eafety need• of the nation. The National and Community Service Act of 1990 (Public Law 101-610, ae amended) provide• program funde, training and technical aaaietance to States and communitie• to develop and expand eervice opportunitiee. The Commieeion i1 governed by a Board of Director• appointed by the President and chaired by Paul N. McCloekey, Jr. Catherine Milton eervee a• the Executive Director of the Commieeion. The Commieeion can be reached at: The National Preaa Building 529 14th Street N.w. 4th Floor Washington, D.C. 20004 (202) 724-0600 A total of $73 million is available to the Commieaion during fiecal year 1992 . Complete detail• about funds, applications and program requirements can be found in the proposed regulations for the Act, which appear in Part III of the November 8, 1991 issue of the Federal Register. A thirty-day notice and comment period will allow individuals and organizations to give their input before the final regulations are publiehed in January. Comment• must be submitted in writing to the Commission address. The final regulation• and application• will be published in the Federal Register in mid-January. In general, funds will go to the States. However, under certain sections, if a State declines to aubmit an application, a local applicant auch as a school, college, local government or community-baaed agency may apply directly to the Commission . In order to facilitate these local application•, States ~ notify the Conwiesion by January 20, 1992 that they intend .to eubmit a state application and, if eo, for which of the four major program categories they intend to apply. Since Indian Tribea will be considered a• atates under this Act, they too must eubmit a notice to the Commission of intention to apply. In late January, the Federal Register will 'publiah a liet of etatee that have given notice of the intention to apply for funde. All application•, both State and local, will be due to the Commieaion on March 16, 1992, and grant• will be made in May or June. 8 �A VISION FOR MICHIGAN A vision or mission statement creates the overarching framework for a Comprehensive State Service Plan. It is the rationale for action and sets the goals for accomplishment. The plan should complement the goals of NCSA while setting priorities unique and important to the state. The priorities should be based on real needs and the plan should draw on the state's real strengths. Ideally the plan should have a four year timeline. This will allow programs and initiatives to develop to the point where their can be assessed on their own merits. A four year plan also shows the national commission that the state is serious about its plan because it extends beyond the current authorized life of the Act Michigan has already begun setting its vision. The Michigan Community Service Commission is a very important development. It sets Michigan apart from all but a handful of states. Beyond its existence, the leadership and composition of the Michigan commission reveal qualities that will make for a compelling vision for the state. Before proposing several ideas for a state vision, it is worth reviewing the summary findings of a report from United Community Services of Metropolitan Detroit on _community attitudes in Kellogg's Detroit Northern Area Project The summary sets an appropriate tone for a discussion of vision. It found that, "residents of the Kellogg/Northern area expressed a desire to remain and work in their community ... Residents also expressed the need for more community accountability. They feel that the community must begin to solve their own problems rather than relying soley upon government or corporate support. However, residents were aware that apathy has played a major part in impeding the progress of the community... Residents felt that if their community had a strong cultural identity and knowledge of self, that many of the problems they face would be solved... The youth offered some simple solutions to some of the problems they mentioned. .. they desire and expect support from family and the community as a whole." These statements could apply to any community in Michigan. The Michigan commission should consider a vision that includes: • The state commission establishing itself in the role of catalyst, convener, broker, networker, and promoter for state and local community service activities. • A call for citizens to join together to build stronger, whole communities in which youth can grow and prosper. • A commitment to substantively involve young people in youth service policy and community problem solving. • A commitment to create opportunities for young people to serve in their communities or state from from the age of 5 to 25. • A commitment to build state and community service capacity by strongly encouraging organizational collaboration and joint problem-solving (among both public and private agencies). 9 �• Recognition that government has an essential but not exclusive role to play in community building, and that the model for community building is the formation of real and substantive state and local partnerships among government, business, the philanthropic and nonprofit sectors, and citizens. • A commitment to make youth service the glue in forming community partnerships and collaborative initiatives. (Youth service, because it is disarming and positive, is an excellent device to ~gin the process of collaboration. Youth service program development becomes the first step in the state's strategic plan. An effective youth service infastructure will form the base for broader community building activities. Therefore, the Michigan commission might consider broadening its reach in years three and four by, for example, formally absorbing the activities of the Michigan Coalition on Volunteerism.) 10 �ELEMENTS OF THE MICHIGAN PLAN The summer planning meetings identified issues important to a successful Michigan plan and produced recommendations for elements of the state plan. Below is a brief summary, a complete record of the meetings is attached. Important issues to be considered include: • Assuring that programs are built around local community needs and interests. • Establish statewide training capacity in the best practices for youth service programs. • Avoid redundant programs and activities. Build on existing resources and strengths, do not needlessly start from scratch. • Include young people and community program practitioners in policy setting and program design. • Build a comprehensive and coordinated statewide information clearinghouse for programs and organizations that draws on what currently exists within networks. • Involve the business community. • Ensure that there are sufficient rewards, incentives, and recognition. • Ensure diversity of participants, representative of whole the community, in programs. Do not simply target, and therefore isolate, select groups for specific programs. Specific elements of the comprehensive Michigan plan should include: • The commitment of the state commission to identify and coordinate public and private funding and resources necessary to advance the state plan. Therefore the commission should--$ Establish a "Youth on Boards" program to institutionalize a role for youth in substantive community problem-solving. The first step should be the establishment of a Michigan Youth Advisory Council (MYAC) to work in conjunction with the state commission. MYAC's first task should be to promote and coordinate the "Youth on Boards" program. • Support workforce preparation by promoting positive productive community problem solving roles for all youth across the state. Special attention should be given to directly linking school age service programs and community colleges. Community colleges should be encouraged to include service as a part of their technical skills development programs. • Establish unifying thematic areas for program development and capacity built around areas of program service such as early age intervention, family support, and intergenerational programs. (This provides continuity as well as a connection to the youth and family mission interests of the national commission.) n - �• Encourage young people to become advocates for service, volunteerism, and civic participation in their communities. • Coordinate program development and capacity building around the strengths and resources of existing programs and organizations such as the Children's Charter, the Youth Volunteer Corps, School Volunteers, Partners in Education, 4H, MCC, V ACs, MNF, and CMF. • Establish during the first and second year a pilot City Year model program model from a combination of philanthropic, business, and subtitle D funding. The model would be replicated in one other Michigan community during the third and fourth year. • Establish the governor's Service and Leadership Corps, a two site residential rural summer youth corps program. This would be funded initially under subtitle C with local PIC support. • Support a statewide network of summer community-based and operated youth volunteer corps programs linked in each community to (but not necessarily run by) community colleges and other colleges, volunteer centers, community-based service agencies, and K 12 schools. This would be funded initially under subtitle C with possible local PIC and community foundation support. • Institute a process to unify program research and evaluation by establishing generic standards and objectives across all youth service program areas. The state commission should convene a research and evaluation planning meeting with representatives from Michigan Campus Compact schools, Formative Evaluation Research Associates, other appropriate in-state representatives and research experts in the national youth service field to set a common evaluation framework for the state • Designate and promote the Michigan Campus Compact as the higher education consortium responsible for coordinating the higher education service plan. • Establish an in-state college service grant program administered by the MCC, under the coordination and final review of the state commission, to supplement MCC's current venture grants program. These state higher education grants should give special consideration for community college service programs that link skills training, community service, and activities in support of K-12 schools. This would be funded initially under subtitle B, II with a match from local college applicants. • Establish an in-state K-12 service grant program administered by the Michigan State Department of Education, under the coordination and final review of the state commission, to support community service and service learning programs for K-12 age youth. Program design specifications, in addition to those stipulated in the federal regulations, should include stipend support for a teacher and/or community-based coordinator, be intended to integrate service learning into specific content curriculum or meet community needs consistent with the issue themes of the state plan or be developed in coordination with the Michigan Community Volunteer Corps team in the community. Programs should also coordinate and cooperate with other youth service activities in the community (particularly those linked to the state plan) and the local Partners for Education and School Volunteer. This would be funded initially under subtitle B, I with possible local community foundation match. 12 �• Clarify distinction between court-ordered service and community service. The commission should promote a common tenninology that does not confuse community service with punishment. • Ensure that the activities of the state commission are coordinated with the Michigan 2000 Excellence in Education Committee. For instance, because citizenship education is pan of the national education goals, the commission should encourage the committee to adopt community service and service learning as an important component in the Michigan New American Schools model. • Establish a two tiered youth service awards program to be conducted in conjunction with the national commission's awards program. The first tier award should come from the state commission and be made available to all who serve in organized youth and community service programs. The second tier award should be a governor's award for exemplary service. The state commission also should actively encourage communities to develop and coordinate their own awards. • Promote and facilitate functional partnerships in every applicable community among community foundations, United Ways, and volunteer centers. These partnerships should be organized initially around youth service program design structures. • Establish a statewide Michigan Community Volunteer Corps that places teams of volunteers (a community team minimum would be one full-time, two pan-time, and two older Americans) in at least 30 communities to coordinate youth service capacity building, local youth and community service councils, provide technical assistance to schools and youth groups on service, to promote activities in the service theme areas, to establish CF/UWN AC partnerships, to recruit youth generally, and coordinate the awards program locally. This would be funded under subtitleD with the post service match provided by the community foundation or from other sources identified by community foundation. • Establish state clearinghouse on service and volunteerism drawing on the resources of MCC, CMF, NPF, MSDE, and 4H. The location and funding should be detennined by the state commission. • Establish a statewide service training capacity, in coordination with the clearinghouse, combing the resources of the National Youth Leadership Council's Michigan Service Learning Center, the Grand Rapids Directions Center, the state VAC network, MNF, and MCC. Training should be available for educators youth and adult volunteers, Community Volunteer Corps members, state agency representatives, community leaders, and others who are interested. The location should be central with a regional training capacity. Funding should be determined by the state commission. 13 �ELEMENTS OF THE STATE APPLICATION It cannot be overemphasized that each subtitle program of the state application should be integrated with the other program subtitles. Together, they should be presented within the context of a strategic state plan. To assure that this occurs in practice the state commission should maintain oversight and final review of each program in the application. Coordination should occur at the state and local levels. This underscores the importance of the Michigan Community Volunteer Corps team. The team will work closely with the commission to ensure that activities and information are coordinated locally. Each team should organize a local community service advisory council that mirrors the activities of the state commission. (These local advisory councils should not duplicate pre-existing community councils. Those groups may only need to have service introduced into their agenda.) The local implementation of the state plan should be linked to the MCVC teams. The other issue of importance is multiplying the program impact. The national commission is interested in seeing the number of technical nonparticipants who are involved in supporting the program as well as the number of people served by the program. SUBTTILE B. I MSDoE should closely coordinate its administration of the grant program with the state commission. The commission should ensure that local schools and community organizations coordinate their program planning. The commission should also ensure that K-12 age programs are linked to existing community programs. Before the grant program begins, MSDoE and the commission should conduct regional training workshops on program design and development for educators and community organization representatives. These trainings should also introduce a collaborative program planning approach, including where necessary the formation of a community service advisory council. Funding-- Match support should come from community grant applicants. SUBTI1LE B. II The higher education grant program should be coordinated in the same way as the K-12 program. Before the grant program begins, MCC and the commission should conduct training workshops for college program coordinators and students. Because the national commission is particularly interested in programs generated by college students, MCC and the state commission should work with the state coordinator for the Campus Outreach Opportunity League to involve students in the training workshop. These trainings should also introduce a collaborative program planning approach, emphasizing the establishment of formal links to the community. Higher education grants for research should be linked to the state's coordinated evaluation strategy and guidelines. Funding-- Match support should come from college grant applicants. 14 �SUBTTILEC It is unlikely that the national commission would approve funding for a full-time Michigan corps under this subtitle because of the state's recent budget decisions. However, summer corps provide an excellent opportunity to draw on the benefits of the corps model. The two proposed approaches are interrelated and complementary. The youth volunteer corps model is already in place in three Michigan communities. It is a community-based corps program that involves young people 12-18 years old. Only crew leaders receive a stipend. Using the community yvc model would create a significant multiplier. Funding under the Act would only support crew leaders as program participants. For every crew leader "participant" there would be up to 10 "nonparticipant volunteers." Communities could be selected on the basis of a competitive in-state grant process or through a coordinated state development strategy. Funding-- Because of the relatively modest cost of the program model, the local funding match could come from a variety of sources, including, for instance, the local community foundation Youth Action Program fund. ____. The governor's residential summer Service and Leadership Corps would draw a diversity of young people from across the state for leadership trammg and conservation service work. ~camps formally operated by the Department of Natural Resources are · ___.;watra6le. The corps would draw young people who had participated in the community yves and train them to be crew leaders. The summer program could also coordinate its activities with the community college technical training programs. Program participants could earn certain credits. The program also could be an ideal transitional experience. For instance, students just missing the completion requirements of the Detroit Compact could be encouraged to participate in the SLC. Funding-- PICs are the best source of match support for this program. PICs generally have been pleased with the residential corps and the model provides an appealing alternative for some of their youth. SUBTITLED The City Year program model provides the potential for an urban alternative to the residential rural program. While it is not residential, the model would offer an alternative for young people from around the state to serve in an urban setting. Corpsmembers would be recruited not only from within the community but also from around the state. Because of the statewide dimension the program is a logical part of this subtitle. The program development plan would call for the state commission to organize the substantial resources necessary to conduct the program from private resources. Support from the subtitle would cover a planning team of ten full-time MCVC volunteers to coordinate development on-site for the commission. The plan would call for the program to be fully operating in two years so the planning a team could be established in the second community. The MCVC planning and start-up team would be an expanded version of the community teams proposed under this subtitle. 15 �The Michigan Community Volunteer Corps requires that in each community a team operates, a local organization donates space and some resources. The community foundations, along with the United Ways, would help identify the sponsor agency. Funding under this subtitle requires a cash or in-kind post service match. The community foundation would provide or help identify the locally generated match. Alternative post service support for eligible participants could be drawn from the MDSS tuition assistance program. Teams would work in the local community under the overall coordination of the state commission. Team members would receive training through the training center envisioned in the plan. The composition of the team would ideally include a full-time youth volunteer, employed part-time volunteers of young to middle age, and retired volunteers. This balance should provide a broad experience base. CONCLUSION In the field of youth and community service, few states have the combination of benefits that Michigan currently enjoys. Visible and committed state leadership, major foundation commitment and support, and the range of well coordinated program and organization networks position Michigan to become a national model for youth and community service development The vision, energy, and insight of the Michigan Community Service Commission can make it happen. 16 � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

W;Jshing!On Squ;:,re, P.O. Box 30039, Lansing, Michigan 48909 James R. Viventi, Acting Director DATE: September 12, 1991 TO: The Honorable Vernon J. Ehlers The State Senate FROM: Douglas Stites Executive Assistant to Chief Deputy Director Michigan Department of Labor SUBJECT: Transfer of the Michigan Civilian Conservation Corps to the Department of Labor As you know, there have been a number of informal meetings between the Department of Natural Resources (DNR) and the Department of Labor (DOL) to begin to explore the feasibility of transferring the Michigan Civilian Conservation Corps (MCCC) to DOL. The purpose of this narrative is to keep you updated on:our progress and to invite your comments and suggestions on the proposed concept and organizational restructuring of the program. The intent was to develop a quality residential program, with an environmental emphasis, that would mesh funding from state and federal sources and provide youth ~ith a hands-on learning experience and an opportunity to develop academic, social, and leadership skills. The attached management profile serves mainly as the nucleus for continued plan development and will advance our position in further discussions. Attachment Lowell W. l'co·y, Ui.n..!ctoc, lJepar:tment ol L.J.bor -- .::,~ �MICHIGAN CIVILIAN CONSERVATION CORPS PROGRAM DESIGN CONCEPT DOL proposes to operate and manage the MCCC as a summer residential camp program, providing full time productive work to approximately 150 economically and educationally disadvantaged young adults from all areas of the state. Consistent with the program's original mission, work and training activities will place major emphasis on environmental enhancement and ecological protection. The project will also reinforce the importance of employability and life skills planning and will assist youth in identifying and clarifying career goals and objectives. Four camps will operate on a full time basis, seven days per week, during the ten week (June 15 through August 21, 1992) camp period. Participants will work 32 hours a week on a variety of labor intensive conservation projects that foster the increased utilization, preservation and economic development of the state's natural resources. The remaining eight hours per week will be spent in an assortment of leadership, motivational, and educational activities. The educational component will be designed to remediate academic and vocational deficiencies identified through assessment and testing in basic skill (i.e., reading, math, and language) proficiency areas. Other services such as study skills, time management, resume writing, and interviewing skills will also be provided. OPERATIONAL MECHANICS To accomplish program objectives, DOL will utilize the Service Delivery Area (SDA) network, which is already established to administer $150 million in federal Job Training Partnership Act (JTPA) funds. Day-to-day management of the residential projects will be contracted to SDAs with MCCC camp and other facilities in their service jurisdiction (see map, Attachment I) . Consistent with this plan, the: • Western Upper Peninsula Manpower Consortium would operate Camp Alberta in Baraga County; (SDA #26) • Greater Pontiac Area Consortium (SDA #24) would be responsible for the Proud Lake site in Oakland County, and; • Northeast Michigan Consortium (SDA #21) would manage the Vanderbilt facility in Otsego County. The fourth residential program will be housed at the u.s. Forest Service's Camp Boedne Bay located at Brevort Lake. The Eastern Upper Peninsula Employment and Training Consortium (SDA #9) would assume management oversight. 1 �As a contractor for the state, SDAs will be responsible for: • The planning and development of an effective project structure; • the overall management of the camp, including development of staffing plans, and appropriate arrangements for "wilderness" skill orientation; travel; food; routine "household" services; and minor maintenance of the facilities; • the development of community/resource collaboration to support the education component, and; • payroll processing, and overall fiscal management. Additionally the SDAs, in consultation with DNR regional representatives and u.s. Forest Service staff, will identify priority work projects, coordinate logistics and arrange for appropriate technical and resource staff. Each of the 27 SDAs in the state will place eligible youth in one of the four residential camps, as part of their enrollment in the federally funded Summer Youth Employment and Training Program (SYETP). Federal funds, in excess of $38 million, will be allocated to the state; and in turn to the SDAs, to serve over 21,000 eligible youth during the 1992 SYETP program. Each SDA will be responsible for financing, with federal funds, the wages and fringe benefits (FICA and Worker's Compensation) of youth from their SDA. PRELIMINARY COST ESTIMATES Given that DOL proposes to operate the MCCC, ~s a summer residential environmental program only, it is projected that it will cost approximately $903,153 to operate the program through the SDA network. General fund contribution to the total program cost would be $610,795, or approximately 68 per cent of the anticipated program budget. In developing this cost rationale, the department assumed that: • the SDAs would be allowed to use the state-owned camp facilities, throughout the duration of the initiative, free of rental and other routine user charges. Additionally it is expected that the federal facility will be provided on the same basis; • technical expertise, consultant services and instructional assistance would be provided, without cost, by DNR environmental specialists, and professional resource personnel; 2 �• DNR would be responsible for primary material, supply and equipment costs (in order to avoid the duplicate purchase of materials) incurred in carrying out work priorities of the regional DNR facilities; • federal funds would be utilized to pay participants the minimum wage of $4.25 per hour during the duration of their MCCC employment, and; • SDAs would receive from state resources, not more than 15 percent of the funds allocated. to the local project to cover administrative costs of planning and operating the program. DOL would retain, not more than 10 per cent, to cover state-level administrative expenses. A breakout of estimated program costs, by line item category, are presented in Attachment II. ADVANTAGES OF THE DOL PROPOSAL The principle benefit in aligning the MCCC with the DOL is that the move will allow the brokering of resources and maximizing of the state's commitment to the initiative. In addition: • The training initiative would be housed in the same administrative structure as the majority of other state and federally funded employment and training programs targeted specifically to young adults; • the program • s close association with the JTPA network has the potential to expand the scope of its• impact through the SDAs capacity to commit both staff and financial resources to the development of customized strategies for transitioning participants into unsubsidized employment, other SDA or locally sponsored educational, vocational or skill training programs at the conclusion of the camp experience; • the DOL project design will expose participants to situations intended to broaden both their work skills and their attitude toward employment. Living in a residential setting will allow participants to develop social skills along with a team approach to job completion, and; • the proposed plan maintains consistency with the Civilian Conservation Corps and JTPA goals and objectives and will enhance the ability of both entities to meet program priorities and legislated goals. 3 �Finally, the SDAs functioning as contractors for this initiative, have extensive experience coordinating and working with a broad range of public agencies, non-profit organizations, and diverse funding sources. They have the administrative capabilities to develop and implement the work program and the organizational and logistical skills required to provide needed services and operational support to the project. 4 �ATTACHMENT I ~·~_: __ I Se~v~ce lOe~Uvery ~[(C88S .

John and I are both committed to this effort, and by your participation, you have proven your commitment as well. We are excited to have Diana Rodriguez Algra, formerly with Michigan Campus Compact, as Executive Director of the Commission. We are confident that you will find Diana to be a competent and enthusiastic individual with extensive knowledge of the volunteer and nonprofit sector in Michigan. If you have not done so already, you will meet Diana at our first Commission meeting. We are also fortunate to have with us in Michigan two YES Ambassadors, from the Points of Light Foundation to assist in the development of a youth service policy for the state, and to promote and further efforts in this area for the coming year. The youth ambassadors' work will complement that of the Commission, and I am certain that you will enjoy meeting these two very impressive young people. Our first Commission meeting will be held on October 31, 1991 from 10:00 a.m. until 2:00p.m. in the Governor's Cabinet Room on the second floor of the Olds Plaza Building in downtown Lansing. We have also scheduled a second meeting date, November 22, from 1:00 p.m. until 4:00 p.m., at a location to be announced. Please mark your calendars for these two important dates. You may want to bring your 1992 calendar as we will be scheduling future meetings. Enclosed, please find our working agenda and a tentative list of future meeting dates. �Page Two October 23, 1991 If you have any questions about the Commission, or the upcoming meeting dates, please do not hesitate to call Diana Rodriguez Algra at 517-335-4295, or my assistant, Penni McNamara, at 517373-3400.

KENNY Ex Officio Members CATHERINE MILTON Copies of these documents and a brief summary of the legislation are enclosed for your ready reference. You will note with some concern, a concern shared by this Commission, the length and complexity required by a whole series of related federal laws and rules. We would particularly welcome the comments and suggestions of you and your staff for amendment and/or simplification of these documents within the 30-day comment period, ending December 8. The Act's purpose is relatively simple: to promote a new ethic of volunteer community service in America, to give every young person the opportunity to participate in meaningful service to others, and in so doing to develop future leaders for the nation, particularly in lower-income communities. In general, States have priority for funding under the Act. States may receive funds for service programs involving school-aged youth, higher education, youth corps, and full and part-time National Service . Local applicants may apply only if their State chooses not to submit an application. Therefore, in order to give sufficient notice to local applicants, we are requiring States to notify the Commission by January 20, 1992, if they intend to apply for funds and under which of the major categories. In order to facilitate a coordinated approach involving the broadest possible coalition of public and private entities, the Act recommends that Governors create advisory groups composed of representatives of state agencies, youth and low income individuals, and a variety of local and community-based organizations, labor, business, educators, parents and volunteer organizations. \ Our staff, led by Executive Director Catherine Milton, stand ready to assist your staff in every possible way and can be reached at the National Press Building, 529 14th St. N.W., 4th Floor, Washington D.C. 20004, (202) 724-0600. .Jo :· 7 dl c!- 0 6 0 ~ /2l j Executive Director We hope you will join us in this challenging effort and look forward to hearing from you by January 20. j l 4 1991 1\/ISIO/\ ' POST OFFICE BOX 33119, WASHINGTON, D.C. 20033-0119 � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

PERRY, Director December 10, 1991 Dear Colleague, I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for your participation in the Youth Service Michigan meetings held this past summer. As a result of these meetings and your efforts Govemor John Engler has created a statewide commission on community service. The Michigan Community Service Commission was officially established on October 3, 1991 by Executive Order. Twenty-one individuals have been appointed to the commission (see enclosed list). The Commission has taken on as its first project the submission of a state application to the Commission on National and Community Service to access Federal funds from the National and Community Service Act. Funding for the National and Community Service Act during 1992 has been set at $80 million. We have enclosed an update on the National and Community Service Act of 1990 (see YSA Report), including a listing of the members of the Commission on National and Community Service. States planning to submit a coordinated application must submit a letter of intent by January 20, 1992. The state application will be due by mid March, 1992. Notification of awards will by made by June, 1992. We have also enclosed the final version of Youth Service America's report from the Youth Service Michigan meetings. The report includes notes from the three summer meetings and some recommendations regarding the development of a youth service policy in the state of Michigan, including recommendations for the state application to be submitted to the National Commission. The Michigan Community Service Commission will be using this report as a framework as it develops the state plan. The Commission is also fortunate to have working with it two Youth Engaged in Service (YES) Ambassadors from the Points of Light Foundation. These two young people are Cynthia Scherer and Trabian Shorters. They are working throughout the state challenging youth to serve and stimulating the development of service opportunities for youth. Please find enclosed a short overview of their mission. They can be contacted via the Commission. MDL-588 ( 10-91 ) �December 9, 1991 Page2 The Commission looks forward to working with each of you as we develop a coordinated youth service plan for the state of Michigan. If you have any comments or suggestions regarding the plan or would like more information please feel free to contact the Commission office. We would also encourage you to share this information with others in your networks. Because of the short time frame in putting together a state plan, please submit your comments and suggestions by January 1, 1992.

PERRY, Director December 27, 1991 Dear Campus Compact President: As you may be aware in 1992 Federal monies will be made available to colleges and universities through the National and Community Service Act to promote community service at institutions of higher learning. The state of Michigan through the Michigan Community Service Commission (MCSC), which was established on October 3, 1991 by Governor John Engler, is submitting a coordinated state application and is encouraging institutions of higher learning, including Compact members, to be a part of that state application. The Commission was pleased to hear of the decision of the Michigan Campus Compact (MCC) Advisory Board to spearhead the higher education component of the state application at their December meeting. Our state is fortunate to have in place a coalition of colleges and universities committed to the promotion of community service, the MCC. During the coming months the Commission will be working closely with the Director of the Compact, a number of Community Service Coordinators, faculty members and representatives from the Students Advisory Council to develop this part of the state application. To keep you abreast of the National and Community Service Act and plans in Michigan I have enclosed a number of pieces of information.

CAPITOL AVENUE OLDS PLAZA, 4TH FLOOR P.O. BOX 30015 LANSING MICHIGAN 48909 TEL. (517) 335-4295 LOWELL W. PERRY, Director December 26, 1991 Dear Superintendent: As you may be aware in 1992 Federal monies will be made available to local school districts through the National and Community Service Act to promote community service at the K-12 level. The state of Michigan through the Michigan Community Service Commission (MCSC), which was established on October 3, 1991 by Governor John Engler, will be submitting a coordinated state application. The Commission consists of twenty-one individuals, including First Lady Michelle Engler, who will serve as chairperson for the Commission. The impetus for this Commission was a number of meetings held earlier this year on youth service (see enclosed Youth Service America (YSA) report). During the first year of the Commission, the focus will be on youth service. I have enclosed a number of pieces of information regarding the Michigan Community Service Commission, and the Commission on National and Community Service. I have also enclosed the final version of Youth Service America's report on youth service in Michigan. The report includes notes from three summer meetings and recommendations regarding the development of a youth service policy for the state, including recommendations for the state application to be submitted to the National Commission. The Michigan Community Service Commission will be using this report as a framework as it develops its state youth service plan. The MCSC is also fortunate to have working with it two Youth Engaged in Service (YES) Ambassadors from the Points of Light Foundation. These two young people are Cynthia Scherer and Trabian Shorters. They are working throughout the state challenging youth to serve and stimulating the development of service opportunities for youth. Please find enclosed a short overview of their mission. They can be contacted via the Commission. MDL-588 (10-9 1) �December 26, 1991 Page2 The Commission looks forward to working with each of you as we develop a coordinated youth service plan for the state of Michigan. If you have any comments or suggestions regarding the plan or would like more information please feel free to contact the Commission office. We would also encourage you to share this information with others in your networks. Because of the short time frame in putting together a state plan, please submit your comments and suggestions by January 31, 1992. di r -~ezAlgra " Sincerely, /' . lj Executive Director Michigan Community Service Commission DVRA: cs Enclosures � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
