Romney Building, 4th floor 111 South Capital Avenue Lansing, MI 48913 Dear Kyle: It was a pleasure to see you and your staff take an active role in the Points of Light Foundation's (POLF) annual national service conference. Michigan was well represented both from the corporate community and the nonprofit sector. 1 . While we didn't have time for this year's conference, I believe it would be valuable for the Michigan Community Service Commission (MCSC) and the Michigan Nonprofit Association (MNA) to jointly host a hospitality room for the Michigan delegates at next year's POLF conference. This would provide the conference attendees from Michigan the opportunity to network with one another as well as to learn more about our two organizations. Please let me know if this is an idea you would like to pursue and we can start making arrangements in the fall with the conference staff at the Foundation. On another note, prior to your appointment, the First Lady and I discussed the potential of appointing a Volunteer Center director to the MCSC. Enclosed is a resume for Christine MacNaughton, the director of the Lenawee United Way and Volunteer Center. As you can tell from Christine's resume, she has a depth of experience in national service programs and volunteer center activities . She would be an excellent volunteer center representative and would serve the MCSC well. If there are other names and resumes you would like to review, please let me know.

We all have common missions and objectives so it only makes sense that we would create a network and a means for us to share resources and ideas. • Evan and Megan expressed their appreciation of the group for taking the time to be present for the meeting and dialogue. Team members were selected because they have demonstrated an · understanding of the importance of cross-stream collaboration, and their skills and experience will be an asset as we move forward with this initiative. • With a struggling economy and the increasing challenges that brings, Michigan's national service programs are poised to play a critical role in addressing unmet community needs. We know that collaboration is instrumental to our collective strength and success and we are looking to this group to help find ways to make that happen. We want to ensure that cross-stream collaboration and training among AmeriCorps, Senior Corps, and Learn and Serve programs in Michigan becomes a common and permanent practice. Introductions • Mary Grill was introduced as the meeting facilitator for the day. Mary worked for the MCSC as Director of Communications for several years. • Mary led the group through introductions (see roster for a list of participants- Paula Kaiser VanDam, Pam McCrum, Sue Wilson, and Karen DeShields were unable to attend) Overview of National Service • Megan, Kevin Murphy, Angelia Salas, and JJ Trotta presented a brief overview of CNCS and the various streams of service. • The Corporation for National and Community Service was formed to engage Americans of all ages and backgrounds in service to meet community needs. Each year, more than 1.5 million individuals of all ages and backgrounds help meet local needs through a wide array of service opportunities. These include projects in education, the environment, public safety, homeland security and other critical areas through the Corporation's three major programs: o Senior Corps- which includes RSVP, Foster Grandparents, Senior Companion Program o AmeriCorps- which includes AmeriCorps*State, VISTA, National, and NCCC o Learn and Serve America • Despite the many differences among the streams of service, programs can still work together. The differences often serve to fill gaps or enhance what programs can offer. One of the goals ofthe meeting is to come up with ideas for how we can help educate national service staff and participants about the different streams of service and ways they can work together. �Where Have We Been? • Megan provided an overview of past cross-stream efforts. Prior to 2005, there was always at least one cross-stream training (i.e., Supervisory/Advanced Supervisory Skills), but very few structured opportunities for cross-stream networking. • The history of Team Up! o The very first Team Up! Making National Service Work in Michigan conference was held in 2005. That was a good first effort and helped Corporation and Commission staff think about how to make this a meaningful conference for all programs, including more opportunities for regional networking and time for individual streams to come together. o After enlisting the help of a stellar planning committee - which included some members of the cross-stream advisory team- we came together in October 2008 for "Team Up! Setting the Pace for National Service." The outcome ofthis event was very positive. Evaluations told us people really enjoyed the opportunity to come together- geographically, by issue area, and in individual streams. Participants also appreciated hearing about national service from a statewide and national perspective. However, we still had comments about wanting additional time to network and learn more about the different streams of service. o Overall, both Team Up! events were successful in terms of bringing streams together in the short term ... But our ultimate goal is long-term and sustainable collaboration and partnerships, which is difficult when you only come together every other year. The cross-stream advisory team will help create ongoing opportunities for cross-stream dialogue, training, and resource sharing- not just at events like Team Up!, but throughout the year. • The Commission also has a State Service Plan, which is a state commission's three-year strategy for coordinating national service and volunteer service activities across all streams of service in the state. Michigan will be creating a new State Service Plan for 2009-2011 and plans to include ideas from the cross-stream advisory team. The former State Service Plan focused on three areas: o Universal Coverage: Build a coordinated state and regional network of national service programs in Michigan. o Collaboration: Provide ongoing opportunities that encourage cross-stream sharing of information and resources. o Sustainability: Building capacity to sustain and grow national service and volunteer efforts at the state and local levels. Announcement oflnclusion VISTA • Megan announced that the MCSC has partnered with the CNCS State Office to obtain approval for a VISTA who will focus on establishing and maintaining this cross-stream network. As far as we know, no other state has done anything like this before. Matt Reaume, who was present for the meeting, has been selected for this position. Matt will be housed at the MCSC office in Lansing and will begin his service in September. The outcomes of this meeting will inform much of how he will spend his time. Where Are We Going?- Our Purpose • The MCSC and CNCS State Office are committed to supporting cross-stream efforts, but the success of this initiative will largely depend upon the way in which the advisory team and other national service program staff view it. Our desire is that it is viewed in a spirit of openness, learning, optimism, and sharing of ideas and perspectives. • The MCSC and CNCS State Office were very intentional about not having any pre-set goals so the team would have a blank slate to work from. However, we did have a DRAFT purpose statement, which Mary presented to the group, asking for feedback/revisions: The cross-stream advisory committee will help build infrastructure and capacity to sustain and grow Michigan 's national service efforts. The committee will work to improve communication, collaboration, 2 �and sustainability of national service programs by creating a regional and statewide network, providing ongoing training opportunities, and facilitating local and statewide partnerships. • After some initial discussion, the group decided it would be best to determine the goals/outcomes first and revisit the purpose statement later in the day. Networking Lunch • No formal activities were planned during lunch so team members would have an opportunity to get to know one another better. Where Are We Going?- Our Goals • After lunch, the team was divided up into three small groups, each of which had cross-stream representation. Small groups were instructed to come up with 3-5 goals for the cross-stream advisory team (goals needed to be obtainable, realistic, measurable, and must be able to be accomplished within a year). • Other things small groups were asked to consider/keep in mind during small group time: o How do we create a more unified national presence? o Education of legislators/key constituents o December 2009 cross-stream training - input, ideas o Looking ahead to Team Up! 2010 Small Group Report Out • Team 1 o Facilitating expansion of involvement/collaboration in private sector o Development of county-wide fact sheet for each stream of service o Regular assessing of training topic needs o Identification of collaboration opportunities for resources ($) o Regional/county-wide networking opportunities o Basic chart of service streams/contact person o Incorporate collaboration into leveraging grants and grant reporting Questions/Comments: o County-wide fact sheets - should include other volunteer services as opposed to just Corporation funded service initiatives • Team 2 o Create a consistent message and materials that ALL streams can utilize for advocacy o Establish quarterly regional meetings to identify efficiency opportunities o Create a searchable database of program information statewide to provide better services and trainings for ALL streams Questions/Comments: o Database would be helpful for members to also collaborate o Serve.gov will be continued after the Summer of Service - you can post and search opportunities • Team3 o Regional service initiatives - get legislator involvement o Regional contact • T/TA • Conference calls • Webinars o Decide if other partners should be at the table at this point • National Service Caucus • MNA, MCC, Department of Education 3 �• Other investors of national service in Michigan o Over-riding competitive nature o Regular or semi-regular updates to national service projects Questions/Comments: o NONE How Will We Get There? (Mary) • The small group report out led into a very important discussion. Some of the group members were seeking greater definition and clarity on the underlying purpose ofthis group's existence in the first place and some questioned whether they themselves had anything of substance to add to the process. Mary's response to that was to ask people to examine the goals posted by each group to see if some main focus areas could be identified so we could begin moving forward (and then to break into groups to review, discuss, and report out about the main points regarding each focus area). • Key points/questions of this discussion include: o Wanting to see: • Training support for program staff • Educating legislators about national service • Expanding national service - defining national service in Michigan o Is this group being formed as a directive of the Corporation or is it bigger than that? • It is ultimately about the survival of programs • Forming a cross-stream advisory team is not a directive of the Corporation. However, the Corporation does want to see more cross-stream collaboration among programs. The MCSC and CNCS State Office came up with the idea of forming a committee with representatives from all streams of service to further our cross-stream efforts. The committee is our way of giving each stream a voice and a say in what we focus on as a state. o What was the opportunity/motivation that brought this group together? • In recent years, Senior Corps began collaborating more with the Commission in order to learn about their programs. That relationship has brought additional resources and opportunities for our programs. Now we'd like to see that happen on a grander scale. • Establishing this group lets people know that we are a force; together we have a large impact. There's no need to reinvent the wheel (with trainings, etc.)- we should be able to share resources and look at what we can do together- especially with broad topics like communication, advocacy, etc. • We can't always rely on the federal government or state government. • We cannot operate in a vacuum anymore. Local decision makers need to know who we are and what we do. We need to join forces in order to provide a unified message. • It feels like we need to form a PAC (Public Action Committee) with a common thread. • All programs will benefit for each goal that is created. o Where are we going? • We need to determine who is willing to put the effort into making this group successful. • Mary asked all participants to do an honest examination of whether they are able to commit to serving on this committee- if not, that's ok too. • The job of this group is not to create Matt's to do list; rather we need to think about how each person can work with Matt to accomplish the necessary goals. • Once everyone had a chance to share their thoughts, Mary asked the group to look at the goals posted by each group to see if some main focus areas could be identified so we could begin moving forward. • Focus Areas Identified 4 �o • Cross-stream training opportunities - this is actually not a focus area, but is an important piece of this advisory group; a suggestion was made to revisit the training assessment sent out prior to Team Up! in 2008 to review responses (it may also be helpful to send out a new assessment in the near future) o Purpose of the cross-stream committee o Marketing and branding o External education, communication and branding with legislators and key constituents o Communication and networking among national service programs o External collaboration Everyone then had an opportunity to self-select into the group of their choice to begin crafting outcomes for each identified area Report Out • Purpose Statement (Megan, Martha) o The cross-stream advisory team enhances and strengthens Michigan's national service efforts. This will be accomplished through: • Promotion • Education • Communication • Collaboration o It was also recommended that the name of the group be the Cross-stream Advisory Team (rather than "committee") - all were in agreement. Thoughts/Feedback: Perfect! PROMOTION • Marketing and Branding (Karen B., Barbara, Doug, Jane, Kevin, Mary Ann) o Plan a state-wide collaboration kick off with t-shirts with own program logo on front and collaborative names on back o Tag line- "Setting the Pace for Community Service" (one idea) o Fact sheets/brochures Thoughts/Feedback: • None EDUCATION • Education/Communication with legislators (JJ, Martha, Bonnie, Sonja) o Legislator days - Lansing would have to research and give dates to everyone o Regional community service days - invite community leaders, etc. o Develop, disseminate and or draft a letter that can be sent to legislators, community leaders, introducing programs with quantifiable data of the program o Focus groups in community- identify needs and brainstorm on how volunteers can help. Invite legislators and community leaders to be involved in these focus groups. Develop tool-kit in order to develop a focus group. Thoughts/Feedback: • ACCESS has extensive resources for advocacy COMMUNICATION • Communication and networking among national service programs (Evan, Dennis, Theresa) o Regional meetings • Increase flow of information 5 �• Create partnerships Database Local listservs • Program directors and members o Social networking (Facebook, MySpace, Twitter) o Cross-stream blog Thoughts/Feedback: • NONE o o COLLABORATION • External Collaboration (Matt, Sue, Amanda) o Identification of key external stakeholders/leaders/organizations in your community o Seeking practical opportunities to serve on local community boards and advisory committees and have those members serve on your national service advisory committee o Share information with your national service peers about local funding sources/opportunities o Partner with local media!!! Thoughts/Feedback: • NONE Next Steps • Megan will send out a summary of the notes from the meeting. • Once Matt begins in September, we will put together an action plan and will be enlisting the help/support of this team. • Team members should begin to set the precedent for other programs. • Invite other streams of service to participate in training, service projects, and events hosted by your program. • Connect with national service program staff in your area- schedule a time to meet and learn more about what they do and how you might be able to partner. Wrap Up and Closing • Future Cross-stream Advisory Team Meeting Dates- Locations TBD o December 9th o March lOth o July 14th • Comment: Make sure the next meetings include "working sessions" - so we can feel as if we are moving forward. • Committee expectations o Cross-stream advisory team members are expected to attend all in-person meetings; if a team member misses more than one meeting, the team co-chairs reserve the right to replace that person. • Input on December cross-stream training • We will schedule a conference call to get input from the group.

The summary of last week's Advisory Team meeting, as well as the team roster is attached. Thank you so much for helping us determine direction for this new cross-stream initiative and providing input on how we can create a more unified national service presence in Michigan. The diversity and experience among team members will undoubtedly be an asset as we move forward with the goals discussed in the meeting. Over the next couple months, we will be working to organize the goals into a more formalized plan, which Matt Reaume will help implement once he begins his term of service as a cross-stream VISTA. We will keep you informed of the progress to date and will most likely be contacting you for inpuUassistance prior to our next meeting, which will take place on December 9th (location TBD). We will also be creating a cross-stream team listserv to make it easier for team members to communicate and share thoughts, ideas, upcoming events, or other opportunities that may be of interest to the team. You will receive an email notification and the listserv email address once it is created. Feel free to contact me if you have any questions about anything. Thanks again for your participation in this important initiative! Have a wonderful weekend!

We want to ensure that cross-stream collaboration and training among AmeriCorps, Senior Corps, and Learn and Serve programs in Michigan becomes a common and permanent practice. With a struggling economy and the increasing challenges that brings, Michigan's national service programs will play a critical role in addressing unmet community needs. We know that collaboration is instrumental to our collective strength and success and we are looking to this group to help define how that will occur. Michigan State Service Plan • With the passage of the Serve America Act, State Service Commissions are required to develop a 3-year State Service Plan. The MCSC has assembled a committee to develop a process to get input from the volunteer and service field, which is a CNCS requirement. • The committee has expressed interest in hosting regional meetings and administering :m onli:'le survey to gather input for the plan. The meetings/surveys will take place in the spring and will focus on the needs of the field, volunteer and service trends, and will identify key issues to · address in the plan (drop out prevention, unemployment, etc.). • We will keep this group informed as plans come to fruition. Once the plan is complete, it will be a great tool to share with the Governor candidates through the transition process. Update on Serve America Act • On December 14, 2009, Congress gave final approval to the Fiscal2010 budget for the Corporation for National and Community Service, making a historic investment in the agency and its programs at a time of mounting social needs and renewed interest in citizen service. • The appropriations measure passed by the Senate provides $1.149 billion for the Corporation, fully funding President Obama's request. This funding level, the largest in the agency's history, will support millions of Americans in addressing national priorities through service, from preventing high school dropouts and increasing energy efficiency to improving health care and supporting veterans. ,,J. 1 �, • • • The national service budget was part ofthe FY 2010 Consolidated Appropriations Act, which now goes to the President for his signature. It contains a $260 million increase over last year and is the first budget enacted after passage of the Serve America Act last April. The budget provides increases for all the Corporation's programs, including a significant expansion of AmeriCorps, taking the first step towards the Serve America Act goal of 250,000 AmeriCorps members by 2017. In addition to increasing member positions, the bill funds the first-ever increase in the dollar amount of the Segal AmeriCorps Education Award. The $220.9 million for Senior Corps includes increases for all three Senior Corps programs and will support nearly 500,000 older volunteers to meet local needs through service. The five percent increase for Learn and Serve America will support 1.3 million participants, increase the number of disadvantaged youth participating, and begin a 10-year longitudinal study on the impact of service-learning. The legislation funds a number of new initiatives, including $50 million for the Social Innovation Fund, which will help solve some of our nation's most difficult social challenges by investing in promising programs and practices that have demonstrated outcomes. In addition, $4 million was included for the Volunteer Generation Fund to develop and improve volunteer recruitment efforts, $1 million will support a new Nonprofit Capacity Building Program, and $2 million was allocated for a new Summer of Service program to engage middle school students in community-based service-learning projects. For more information on the Corporation's Fiscal 2010 budget, visit www.nationalservice.gov/about/budgetlindex.asp Cities of Service (www.citiesofservice.org) • Launched in New York City on September 10, Cities of Service is a bipartisan coalition of mayors representing large and small cities across the U.S. who will work together to engage citizens to address our communities toughest challenges. Cities of Service plans to lead a multiyear effort to engage other mayors across the country by: o Developing a comprehensive service plan and a coordinated strategy focused 0n matching volunteers and establishing community partners. o Working with other mayors and elected officials to advance strategies and best practices that accelerate the service movement and produce measurable results. · o Encouraging others mayors to join this national effort. o Ensuring the voice of cities is heard in federal legislative, policy, and program discussions. • Mayor George Hartwell of Grand Rapids, Mayor Dayne Walling of Flint, Mayor Dave Bing of Detroit, and others have joined the Cities of Service Coalition. Mayors may join if they agree to develop a local comprehensive service plan and work to engage other mayors and elected officials to join the coalition. Ask your mayor to commit to service by visiting the website. • Paula attended a two-day meeting/training in Philadelphia earlier this month. • Leadership Grants for Cities o The Fund for Cities of Service, a 50 I (c)3 formed to support the mayors coalition, will award 10 cities $200,000 over two years to hire Chief Service Officers to lead. local efforts and to develop and implement a comprehensive service plan on behalf of their mayor. The funding is courtesy of the Rockefeller Foundation. . , o To be considered for the two-year Cities of Service Leadership Grant, a city's ma:'or must be a member of the Cities of Service coalition. All applicant cities niust have at least 100,000 residents according to the 2000 census and be home to at least one community college or four-year public or private university. o Applications were due Tuesday, December 15, 2009. 2 �Update on Cross-stream VISTA (Matt Reaume) • Since Matt began his term of service on September, 28t\ he has participated in several site visits/meetings with program staff from all streams of service, as well as the CNCS State Office and the MCSC. This has helped him to better understand the program needs across streams and will benefit him as he works to accomplish cross-stream goals. • Matt also had the opportunity to network with key stakeholders and partners at the National Independent Sector Conference in Detroit, as well as the Michigan State Service Plan meeting in Lansing in order to gain a broader perspective on the future of service in Michigan. · • Matt has been working on several projects, including: o The creation of a searchable online database of all national service programs in Michigan. • Matt has been compiling data for each stream, including program names, host organizations, local program sites, contact information, etc. This data will be entered into a database, which the public will then be able to access via the MCSC website. o Martin Luther King, Jr. Day of Service Involvement • Matt is working to coordinate two MLK Day webinars focused on utilizing collaboration as part ofthe 2010 MLK Day of Service. Calls will provide tips, tools, and resources for project planning, as well as practical examples . . for partnering with other organizations. • · MLK Day- Cross Stream Collaboration Webinar: Dec. 15th at 3:01) p.m. . • MLK Day- Service Project Collaboration Webinar: Dec. 1ih at 3~00 p.m. • Matt also assisted Evan with regional meetings designed to bring AmeriCorps members together to discuss project planning and collaboration. These meetings took place the week of December 14th in Lansing, Kalamazoo, and Detroit. o Engaging Adults Aged 55 and Older • Matt has identified several organizations with which to partner on this project, including the Michigan Office of Services to the Aging, RSVP, Volunteer Centers of Michigan, and Michigan Campus Compact. With the assistance of these partners, as well as resources on the CNCS website, Matt has begun conducting research on this demographic. • The plan is to design and implement monthly webinars (beginning in February or March 2010) focused on engaging adults 55 and over as highly ski!l.ed volunteers. Recap of August Cross-stream Meeting • Megan provided an overview of the outcomes from the August cross-stream meeting. After a review of the four main focus areas, the group was given an opportunity to provide feedback and ask questions. • Based on the feedback, staff from MCSC and CNCS (Megan, Matt, Angelia, Kevin) will draft new language to streamline and further clarify the focus areas. We also plan to add "Training/Technical Assistance" as an additional focus area. • The new language will be sent out to the team for review/approval. Team members will then select their preferred focus area to create subcommittees. At the next in-person meeting, team members will work in their subcommittees to create specific objectives and outcomes. 3 •• , ; ... Ll �• Team Up Discussion • It is time to begin planning for the Team Up Michigan! Conference, which will take place in October 2010. It will be held after October 1st so it can be counted as part of the next year's budget for Senior Corps staff. • The very first Team Up! Making National Service Work in Michigan conference was held in 2005. The next cross-stream conference (Team Up! Setting the Pace for National Service) took place in October 2008. Overall, both Team Up! events were successful and we are looking forward to building on that success for 2010. • The C-S Advisory Team agreed the Team Up! planning committee should be comprised of individuals from this team, as well as other national service program staff. Megan asked for volunteers and will work with the CNCS State Office staff to identify additional individuals to participate. Volunteers from the call include: 9.) Matt Reaume 1.) Evan Albert 5.) Jane Ray 2.) Karen Betley 6.) Michelle Snitgen 10.) Angelia Salas 3.) Teresa Kerry 7.) Rachel Klegon 4.) Mary Zumbrunnen 8.) Sonja Dean • Volunteers for the planning committee will be contacted in January regarding meetings and a planning timeline. Next Steps • A Meeting Wizard will be sent out to reschedule the December C-S Advisory Team meeting. Other future meeting dates include: o March lOth o July 14th • Revised language for each of the focus areas will be sent out soon. Be prepared to offer feedback and select the focus area in which you are most interested. • As expressed at the August meeting, team members should continue to set the precedent for other programs. • Invite other streams of service to participate in training, service projects, and events hosted by your program. • Connect with national service program staff in your area - schedule a time to meet and learn more about what they do and how you might be able to partner.

The Commission was given the broad mission of developing a statewide service movement, which would focus initially on youth. The MCSC is currently composed of 21 members representing a broad constituency that includes community based agencies, higher education institutions, K-12, young people, organized labor, small business, corporations, and philanthropic organizations. The Commission is also ethnically and geographically diverse. The MCSC is chaired by First Lady Michelle Engler who has taken an active role in the Commission and the promotion of its mission around the state. The Michia:an Principles for Servjce Effective service is a process of lifelong learning and citizenship. Effective service must prove a lasting impact on participants and the community. Effective service provides individuals with the opportunities to practice their rights and responsibilities as community members. Effective service encourages inclusive communities to build bridges, respect uniqueness, and share resources for the common good. Effective service strengthens multi-cultural communities and affirms social diversity. Effective service requires organizations to be open, ready and capable of providing meaningful opportunities. Effective service requires all participants to be connected to the American social system allowing personal independence and creating community interdependence. Effective service charges all organizations and individuals to constantly develop strategies to achieve these principles.

The Commission realizes that its role in the community service arena involves the bringing together of service organizations, communities and their members for collaborative efforts and to act as a provider of technical assistance. Youth are continually seen as a major asset to and participants of the Commission and Michigan's community service community. Efforts have been taken to include and highlight youth involvement in Commission decisions and initiatives. Two young people serve as commissioners. Our state has been chosen as one of nine states to host a Points of Light Foundation Youth Engaged in Service (YES) Ambassador to promote service and service learning among youth. The Michigan Youth Progressive Action Council (MYPAC) has secured $25,000 for Youth Voice projects under a grant from the Commission on National and Community Service. Michigan is looked upon as a national leader in community service and is heralded as a state with a vast and integrated community service infrastructure. Continuing efforts on the part of the Commission to guarantee Michigan's lead are listed below. The Mjchjean Community Serxice Commjssion; • secured $1.6 million dollars in federal monies for the funding youth, community, education and corps community service initiatives (see "Application to the Commission on National and Community Service"). • has been featured as one of the leading states in the community service arena as part of a nationally distributed case study conducted by Youth Service America for the Corporation on National and Community Service. • is a major player in the National and Community Service Coalition. The Coalition is a body of community service organizations and individuals from around the nation. Members were solicited by the Commission on National and Community Service to provide technical assistance and consultation to federal legislators concerning laws and regulations in the area of service. • developed a national model for Youth Voice within the field of Youth Service named the Michigan Youth Progressive Action Council (MYPAC). (See Youth Voice) �The l\1ichigan Con1n1unit)' Service Plan The historic National and Community Service Act of 1990 (NCSA) created the Commission on National and Community Service (CNCS). In an effort to make local impact, the CNCS issued a Request For Proposals (RFP) for funding under the NCSA in the late Fall of 1991. The RFP encouraged states to submit comprehensive plans reflecting cross-stream collaboration and a holistic approach to youth service and community action. The MCSC,the entity in Michigan designed to bring the streams of service together, was designated as the state's lead agency. Reasonably, the first major task of the Michigan Community Service Commission was to develop a comprehensive Michigan plan for submission to the Commission on National and Community Service. While developing the plan, the MCSC, and other key individuals and organizations, identified the following elements as essential to a successful Michigan initiative: Programs must be built around local community needs and interests. Young people and community program practitioners must be involved in policy development and program design. Programs must be representative of their communities; diversity of participants is essential. Programs must build on existing resources and strengths. The business community must be involved. A statewide training capacity in the best practices for youth service programs must be developed. A comprehensive and coordinated statewide information clearinghouse for programs, organization, and existing resources. Sufficient rewards, incentives and recognition to promote service should be developed. The initiatives outlined in the next section reflect Michigan's commitment to ensure that every person in the state has access to opportunities to help solve our most urgent social problems. �The l\1ichigan Con1n1unity Service Plan The National and Community Service Trust Act of 1993 On September 21, 1993, President Bill Clinton signed into law the National and Community Service Trust Act of 1993. This legislation provides for compensated community service participants called Americorps, establishment of state commissions, federal recognition of the community service movement, and technical assistance and support for community service programs. The new task put to the Commission as a result of this legislation is to reconfigure its membership to be in line with this national legislation, establish procedures for placement of Americorps participants and create evaluation procedures for programs funded under the 1993 Act. Staffing will need to expand to accommodate new and more challenging responsibilities. Michigan is in an unique position. With the establishment of a state commission by executive order in 1991 by Governor John Engler, Michigan asserted itself, again, as a leader in the community service arena. The 1993 Act requires that states appoint lead agencies to receive, manage and distribute federal dollars. Michigan's forsight in building a strong state-wide infrastructure places it ahead of many other states in its preparedness to receive federal monies for community service initiatives. You believe in idealism. And you practice idealism. And you learn that reaching for idealism is practical. And with time, and with a little care, you begin to see a little bit of light for places, before you found only darlmess. And then you soon will fmd idealism is not only practical--but it is a reality. Mala Mirchandani, Student Community Service Award Recipient, Michigan Campus Compact Annual Conference, March 6, 1992. Mala Mirchandani's words have served as a rally cry and a focal point for the Michigan Community Service Commission. Much of the Michigan Vision reflects what is eloquently articulated in her speech. The Commission believes that community citizenry can be the most effective vehicles for service to others. It is only through the meeting of local needs and involvement of local citizens that community service can work. The Michigan Vision has operated on these basic principles and attempts to focus the attention of community service initiatives on communities. �The Michigan Vision directs and expands community service missions administered by the Commission. The ambitious goals scribed in this institution's framework through the Michigan Vision act to ensure the feasibility of the compressive, yet centered plans of the Commission. Great pride can be taken in this year's accomplishments. Steps toward involving youth voices in decision-making, planning for strategic placement in the future of the community service field and constant collaborative efforts keep the core themes of the Commission alive. Empowering communities to serve ensures the existence a body of citizens in service to Michigan. Progress on Initiatives Outlined by The Michigan Vision The following initiative statements come directly from the text of The Michigan Vision. Following each initiative statement is a brief summary of the action taken by the Commission in 1992-1993. Encourage young people to become advocates for service and civic participation in their communities. One strategy will be to establish a statewide youth body on community service. This youth body will act as a standing committee of the Commission and will create a network ofyouth across the streams of service and ensure that young people will continue to play a role in the development ofyouth service policy. The Michigan Youth Progressive Action Council (MYPAC) was established in September, 1992 and consists of 16 members, ages 12 to 20, from every region of the state. The MYPAC continues offering its input by participating on all standing committees of the Commission. Therefore, the council is able to introduce and review policies which go before the MCSC, participate in strategic planning, and play a role in every level of the Commission's work. Like MCSC members, MYPAC members are strong advocates for service, volunteerism, and civic participation in their communities. Some MYPAC input include participating on screening committees for K-12, Higher Education and Youth Voice subgrantees and screening agents for award review committees for the Governor and Michigan Community Service Commission Community Service Awards. The Points ofLightFoundationPoints ofLight Youth Engaged in Service (YES) Ambassador has acted as an advocate for Youth Voice initiatives in Michigan. Youth Forums for youth expression and community service planning have been held in Mount Pleasant, Alpena and Detroit. Collaborative efforts have also been conducted by the YES Ambassador and community foundation Youth Action Committees. �The l\1ichigan Vision Establish a multi-tier recognition/awards program. The first tier award will come from the state Commission and be made available to all who serve in organized youth and community service programs. The secondtierawardwiU be a Governor's award for exemplary service. The state Commission will also encourage local communities to develop and coordinate their own awards programs. The Governor and Michigan Community Service Commission Community Service Awards have been developed as a means to recognize positive efforts on the part of community members and organizations to engage in service programs. This award recognizes that there are several different citizen-based initiatives operating throughout Michigan that have made a noteworthy impact on communities and their members. Nomination categories include: Lifetime Achievement; Innovative Spirit; Youth, Adult and Senior Exemplary Community Service; Corporation/Business; Service-Learning Educator. Over 10,000 nomination forms were mailed out to community action agencies, intermediate school districts, local United Ways, churches, volunteer centers, and colleges and universities. Some 200 nomination forms returned for review by the selection committee. Final selections will be made in November, 1993. Promote and facilitate functional partnerships among appropriate organiwtions in every Michigan community. These partnerships will be organized initially around youth service program design structures. In all of the Requests for Proposals developed by the MCSC to solicit applications for monies granted under the National and Community Service Act of 1990 and the National Service Trust Act of 1993, we strongly encouraged local partnerships. Indeed, in some categories collaboration is required. Using our grantmaking capacity as leverage, the MCSC has acted as a catalyst for communication at the local level which has led to some exciting and creative partnerships. This collaborative spirit is present across all streams of the MCSC' s grantees and subgrantees. CoordilUlle program development and capacity building around the strengths and resources ofexistingprograms and organizations such as: Michigan 4-H,Michigan Campus Compact, National Youth Leadership Council's Service Learning Center, Michigan School Volunteers Program, Partnerships in Education, Volunteer Centers of Michigan, Michigan Nonprofit Forum, the Council of Michigan Foundations, Community Action Agencies and Private Industry Councils. The state will also strive to establish unifying thematic areas for program development and capacity building around service needs such as early age intervention, family support, and intergenerational programs. �The Michigan Community Service Commission has not established itself as the statewide coordinating body for developing the capacity of other organizations. It is still not at all clear that Michigan needs a state-level entity to function in this way. Further, there remains no consensus among Commissioners that they would like to see the MCSC move in this direction. The Commission, however, has been very supportive of others' work and has provided opportunities and incentives for organizations in Michigan to assist each other in program development and capacity building. The MCSC continues to develop and disseminate new tools and standards that promote community service and service learning. The Michigan Principles for Service were developed at a two-day work session held at the American Youth Foundation's Camp Miniwanca in Shelby (see "The Michigan Principles for Service"). These principles stand as a ruler to establish and evaluate service ventures. Identify and help coordinate public and private funding sources necessary to advance youth service. The MCSC continues to use its Fund Development Standing Committee to examine policy and guide initiatives toward establishing a stable funding base. Membership of the committee consists of key individuals from the public, private, and philanthropic sectors. Furthermore, the MCSC has accessed the National and Community Service Act of 1990 (NCSA) to bring funds aimed at youth service to the state and is moving forward to gain the same support from the National and Community Service Trust Act of 1993. Most of the monies from the NCSA have been subgranted throughout Michigan. All grantees are required to provide matching funds as well as viable sustainability strategies. Through it's grant making power, the MCSC has mobilized both federal and local dollars toward advancing youth service. The Commission is continuing to research legislative action that would secure sustained public support for community service in Michigan. Establish a state clearinghouse on service and volunteerism drawing upon the resources of the Michigan Campus Compact, Council of Michigan Foundations, Michigan Nonprofit Forum, Michigan Departments ofEducation and Labor, and Cooperative Extension 4-H, orfacilitate the development ofclearinghouses within each stream ofyouth service. The MCC has played the primary role in the development of several state clearinghouses on service and volunteerism. MCC is the host to the Midwest Regional Resource Center on Mentoring. Other initiatives include the Volunteer Centers of Michigan developing a toll-free statewide telephone volunteer referral service and the Partnership for New Education, in cooperation �The l\1ichigan Vision with the National Youth Leadership Council, has established a statewide K-12 Service Learning Center on the Campus of Michigan State University. Establish a statewide training model in youth service, in coordination with the clearinghouse, utiUzing the resources ofsuch organizations as the NatWnal Youth Leadership Council's Michigan Service Learning Center, Michigan 4-H, High Scope Educational/Research Foundation, Volunteer Centers ofMichigan, and the Michigan Campus Compact. Training wiU be made available to youth and adult volunteers, educators, corps members, state agency representatives, community leaders and other who are interested in the field of community service and service learning. In cooperation with the Michigan Campus Compact/Campus Outreach Opportunity League (COOL) and the Council of Michigan Foundations (CMF), and the Points of Light Foundation, the MCSC maintains a network of regional training capacities for young people throughout Michigan. The network taps into and supports the resources outlined in the vision and several others both in Michigan and in the nation. Establish a common terminology for youth service e.g clarify distinction between court-ordered service and community service. A major initiative in this area will be facilitated in 1994 by convening a meeting of informed and related parties to address the terminology and legal aspects of service and community service. Establish principles for effective youth service programs which incorporate a service learning philosophy and ensure that youth have a meaningful service experience. The MCSC is in full agreement and support of existing principles for good practice established in Wingspread Special Report: Principles of Good Practice for Combining Service and Learning, published by the Johnson Foundation. The Commission has required applicants for NCSA funds under all subtitles to design programs in accordance with these principles. In addition, Michigan has developed its own set of standards (see "The Michigan Principles for Service"). Institute a process to unify program data coUection and evaluation by establishing standards and objectives across all youth service program areas. The MCSC has drafted a set of evaluation requirements to be implemented accross all program areas. Collaborative training efforts have been taken to train grantees on standards �and procedures established by Abt Associates Inc. and The Center for Human Resources, Brandeis University. Establish an in-state K-12 service grant program administered by the Michigan State Department of Education in conjunction with the Commission, to support community service and service learning programs for K-12 age youth. Program design specifications will include stipend support for a teacher and/or community based coordinator, be intentkd to integrate service learning into specific content curriculum or meet community needs. Programs will also coordinate andcooperate with otheryouth service activities in the community (particularly those linked to the state plan) and the local Partnership for Education and the Michigan School Volunteer Program. The Michigan Serve-America Program received $623,217 in funding from the Commission on National and Community Service. In 1992, the Michigan State Department of Education and the MCSC received over 200 requests for funding of which 60 were awarded funding. Grants ranged from just under $2,000 to $30,000. A total of 173 applications have been received for 1993 ranging from $5,000 to$25,000. Final selection of awards has not yet been conducted. Ensure that the activities of the state commission are coordinated with the Michigan 2000 Excellence in Education Committee. For instance, because citizenship education is part ofthe national educational goals, the commission will encourage the Committee to adopt community service and service learning as an important component in the Michigan New American Schools model. MCSC is in the processes of bringing together parties to examine the positive impact of service learning on education reform. This committee will include members from the Michigan Campus Compact, Colleges of Education, Intermediate School Districts, Service Learning Coordinators and the MCSC. Support workforce preparation by promoting positive productive community problem solving roles for all youth across the state. Special attention will be given to direcdy linking school-age service programs with community colleges. Community colleges should be encouraged to inclutk service as a part of their technical skiUs development programs. The MCSC continues to bring together members from K-12 education, community service, youth corps, higher education to link programs and emphases to ensure cohesive drives toward service and service learning. MCC is establishing a K-16 service learning coalition to examine furthering this goal. �The l\1ichigan Vision Establish the Governor's Youth Environmental Education Corps, a residential rural summer youth corps program, which wiU be administered through the Job Training Partnership Act network. --See Application to CNCS, Subtitle C-- Facilitate the development of a Michigan Urban Youth Corps model from a combination ofphilanthropic and business funds. Initial discussions have begun in the City ofGrand Rapids and the state will continue to assist the development of this project. The state would also like to see the model replicated in one other Michigan community during the next four years. The steering committee has begun to finalize its basic focus. MCSC, through GVSU, has awarded a planning grant in the amount of$35,000 to develop a replicable youth corps model. In addition, the National Association of Service & Conservation Corps, through MCSC, has offered consultation and technical assistance to the steering committee. Establish Michigan CARES (Communities and Resources Engaged in Service) a program designed to encourage youth and adults to participate in implementing and evaluating service projects which respond to local community needs. This innovative model encourages and assists local community coUaborations in the development of community service action teams (CSAT), made up of part-time, fuU-time and senior corp members, and provides ongoing assistance to localities in the upkeep ofthese CSATs. Through this model to state seeks to strengthen existing and develop new community service initiatives aimed at youth. Michigan has been fortunate to have secured over $225,000 in 1993 funds from CNCS for a planning grant to further develop a community and national service model. MCSC has been able to retain a staff person to act as a Program Director for the CARES initiative. Implementation of a CARES programs should begin by September of 1994. Support the development of a statewide network of summer community-based and operatedyouth volunteer corps programs andfuU-time urban corps linked in each community to community-based organizations, K-12 education, and higher education. An all grantees meeting in the area of corps was held in Traverse City to update parties in the evaluation, continuation and documentation of corp projects. This was also an opportunity to update the grantees on the changes in the national service movement �Strides are being developed to network corps programs. A proposal has been submitted to the Kellogg Foundation for the creation of the Michigan Corps Coalition. This coalition will act as a unifying agent and information hub for all corps programs in Michigan. Designate and promote the Michigan Campus Compact as the higher edueation consortium responsible for coordinating a higher edueation 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 augment MCC'scu"ent venture grantprogram. These grants will give special consideration to higher education projects with partner with or impact K-12 schools. In addition, a Michigan Resource Service Center housed at the Michigan Campus Compact will be developed to facilitate leadership trainingfor higher education participants, to develop service learning resources and to disseminate materials from the collegiate jU!ld. The Michigan Campus Compact (MCC) continues in its role as the higher education consortium responsible for coordinating a comprehensive higher education service plan. MCC, through the Michigan Resource Services Center, remains committed to: providing support and resources to all Michigan institutions developing student community service projects; ensuring collaboration between groups working in the same area as well as transmitting learning and expertise accross areas; and collecting resources already in existence on service learning in a vast array of areas. The Michigan Generation Grants Program distributed $250,000 to19 programs in 1992 and hope to disburse $195,000 to 24 programs in 1993. The amount of the individual grants ranged from $10,000 to $45,000. �The following charts illustrate some of the critical data collected from the 1992-1994 National and Community Service Grantees of the Michigan Community Service Commission. Michigan secured over $1,390,000 dollars in federal funding for community service initiatives in the 1992-93 funding cycle and $1,500,000 for 1993-94 cycle. A total of 90 grants were awarded in the areas ofK-12 education, Higher Education, and Youth Service Corps in 1992-93 and 99 in 1993-94. In the 1992-93 funding cycle Michigan was funded in three of the subtitle areas and in five areas in 1993-94. Michigan was the only state to receive funding for youth voice initiatives under subtitle E. ! Please note: Where the term "NIA" is used, information was not available at the time of this publishing.

This program will be presented to middle school students throughout the county. Funding: $9,956 Participants: 35 9. Detroit Davison Elementary School Together, students will work with the community to create a safe play area for young children and a nature area which will become a focus of pride for the community. Trained high school and elementary student volunteers will run a recreation program after school and on Saturdays for younger children. A nature area will provide a community focus for students to provide information to the community about the cultivation and care of plants. Students will also provide outdoor plants to �Detroit Davison Elementary School (cont.) community residents. Environmental responsibility will be taught to the students, who will provide a site for community recycling and use recyclables to make bird feeders that they will distribute to community residents. Funding: $10,000 Participants: 644 10. Detroit Hampton Elementary School Phase II of the school-based service model is the expansion of service-learning opportunities for the schoolwide Adopt-A-Shelter Project. The project will include forty middle school (eighth and ninth grade) students, who will be trained to become direct volunteers at Interim House in areas already identified in the joint needs assessment. Service-learning opportunities will be integrated into the core curricula of both the elementary and middle school participant population, utilizing a television and Broadcast Arts program already in place at the middle school. The project is youth leadership oriented. Funding: $10,000 Participants: 40 11. Grand Rapids Public Schools-City High School In cooperation with the school's community partners, students will make presentations to neighborhood associations and PTA groups to encourage greater citizen participation in the court and jury system. They will assist persons to complete the court jury questionnaire. Sixty students will perform community service with lawyers of the Bar Association to become further familiarized with the court system. This project will become integrated into the curriculum of the school, grades 9-12, beginning with social studies classes, as an important component of the servicelearning curriculum.

Funding: $30,000 Participants: 25 �Youth \oice .\rth ities --Title E The MCSC and the MYPAC have been integral in promoting Youth Voice throughout the state of Michigan. The MCSC and the MYPAC submitted a grant for $27,500 to the Commission on National and Community Service under Title E-Youth Voice. The Commission and the MYPAC received the grant with the fund level at $25,000 and currently is in the implementation stage of administrating the money. MYPAC Meetings As a Standing Committee the MYPAC has the right and responsibility to introduce policies and programs to the full Commission, and to review all issues before action is taken by the MCSC. Moreover, two members of the MYPAC are also full voting members of the MCSC. The MYPAC is thrilled to setve as a model and provide technical assistance for developing statewide youth councils to California, Maryland, New Jersey, Ohio, and Pennsylvania. Because Michigan is a large state, convening the MYPACis cumbersome and expensive. We manage these issues by convening small groups of MYPAC members regionally and by involving them, locally, with MCSC grantees, volunteer centers, and other relevant initiatives. In order to effectively facilitate strong youth voice at the state level, we feel the MYPAC must meet at least quarterly. Youth Speakers Bureau There is an amazing untapped resource in Michigan: Youth as trainers, facilitators, keynote speakers, and workshop presenters. We see a need for identifying a strong pool of young people, training them, and marketing the idea of youth as resources for all youth oriented conferences, trainings, workshops, and seminars. Youth speakers and trainers would also be available to schools and community-based organizations for on-site training and speaking. Recognition Program The Michigan Youth Progressive Action Council (MYPAC) introduces a unique approach to recognizing outstanding youth volunteers and service programs. We have designed atshirt and a letter of congratulations from Michigan Governor John Engler and Michigan Community Service Commission (MCSC) Chairperson Michelle Engler. Based loosely on former Presidents Bush's Daily Points of Light, this recognition package will be presented to any outstanding young person or program which merits special recognition. To augment the highly structured and competitive annual Michigan Community Service Awards of the MCSC, the MYPAC recognition program has no application process and no deadlines. The idea is to simply recognize outstanding efforts on an on-going basis. We will use our networks in the K-12, Higher Education, Youth Corps, and Nonprofit communities to identify the people and programs in Michigan which really def'me the youth service movement in our state. Our YES Ambassador will be responsible for disseminating awards and keeping accurate records of recipients. �Program Visits There is a significant number of outstanding service-learning and community service programs in Michigan. We would love to see many of them replicated. However, ours is a large and diverse state. The MCSC sees a need to facilitate opportunities for young people interested in starting or improving service initiatives to see how truly outstanding programs work. The MCSC will identify outstanding programs and prepare them as hosts and trainers. We will publish a directory briefly describing these programs and the specific areas in which they are exemplary (e.g. recruitment, reflection, community support). We will then make small travel expense grants available to young people to visit these programs for a day to see how they work and to discuss replication with program designers, managers, and participants. Our YES Ambassador will provide follow-up training and technical assistance to all Program Visit participants. Youth Action Forums The Youth Action Forum idea was introduced to Michigan by our Points ofLight Foundation Youth Engaged in Service Ambassadors. To date, we have had successful forums in Detroit in 1992 & 1993 and one in Mount Pleasant, Michigan in May, 1993. The town of Alpena is currently planning a forum for September, 1993. The Detroit forums brought together 700 young people to discuss community service in the context of issues ranging from AIDS to teen parenting. The Detroit forums closed with a Youth Speak Out in which teams of participants presented recommendations to City Councilmembers, members of the Board of Education, the Chief of Police, and other community leaders. In addition, the Detroit forums each included a highly attended day of service and a community service fair where community organizations were able to recruit youth as volunteers. At the Mount Pleasant forum, in place of the Speak Out, the 150 participants conducted a Strategy Forum where they began designing a community coalition of young people and adult community leaders who have pledged to work together to address the issues of selfesteem, racism, and substance abuse. Both the Detroit and Mt. Pleasant Forums established mini-grant programs to make funds available to young people to address identified issues. The Youth Action Forum is not only a place for youth to discuss their ideas about pressing social issues, it is also a place for young people to fmd the support to empower them to take action. To facilitate effective forums, we will develop an RFP which specifies quality assurance including principles of best practice. Local communities will be invited to compete for funding. Our YES Ambassador will work in new sites to organize a local planning coalition and provide training on the Youth Action Forum process. �Youth \ oicc Adi\'itics --Title E Statewide Conference on Youth Service and Philanthropy A Cross-stream conference for young people on service-learning, community service, and youth as resources is scheduled for Spring, 1994. Michigan Youth Engaged in Service (YES) Ambassador Michigan has been honored as a Points ofLightFoundation Youth Engaged in Service (YES) Ambassador Host State since 1991. Our YES Ambassadors have been a critical part of nearly all youth voice activities facilitated by the MCSC. The Ambassadors have been invaluable in the daily work of the Commission. In addition, our Ambassadors conceived, developed, and continue to provide staff support to the Michigan Youth Progressive Action Council. Moreover, although the MYPAC will coordinate and manage the following initiatives, it is the YES Ambassador who will provide the necessary staff support to make them a reality. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

PROPOSAL 1. STRUCTURE A. The Michigan Community Service Commission (MCSC) has been in existence since October of 1991 when it was established via executive order by Governor John Engler. The 21 commission members represent a broad-based constituency dedicated to the concept of community service and the building of private/public coalitions to effectively meet local needs. The ethnically and geographically diverse members of the MCSC represent community-based organizations, colleges, K-12 schools, young people, labor groups, small businesses, corporations, and philanthropic institutions. Commissioners are appointed for renewable, staggered 3-year terms. On December 9, 1993, Governor John Engler, by Executive Order rescinded the original Executive Order that created the first State Commission and issued a new one to expand the Commissions voting membership from 21 to 25 and to conform to the specific requirements of the 1993 National and Community Service Trust Act. (see attached Executive Order) B. The Governor's appointments staff is working with the Executive Director of the Commission to fill the remaining vacancies as required in the National and Community Service Trust Act of 1993 (see State Commission/AAE Composition Approval Form). C. See forms included D. See forms included E. Balance with respect to race, ethnicity, age, gender, disability characteristics and political a.ff'iliation will be ensured through the Governor's appointment review process and the use of a political affiliation form. F. Since Michigan has had a functioning commission since 1991, the included timeline deals more with the development of the State plan. G. The MCSC will delegate the contract and grant administrations functions to the Bureau of Contract and Grants Management within the Michigan Jobs Commission. Fiscal management will be delegated to the Michigan Department of Labor. An outside contractor will be retained to evaluate the effectiveness and impact of the subgrants distributed through the MCSC. MCSC is currently housed within the Michigan Jobs Commission -- an entity designed to promote and establish positive opportunities for job growth in Michigan. 2. DUTIES Michigan Community Service Commission Page 1 �A. Michigan's Comprehensive Plan The MCSC will develop community service initiatives in Michigan by building on the basic principles that have driven its work thus far. These principles, collaboration, outreach, State support, and infrastructure building are at the heart of any action taken by the MCSC. The following are the mechanisms to be developed as well as those currently being used that make up Michigan's Comprehensive Plan. Community Forums Michigan has had a long history of service initiative building and collaboration. Part of MCSC's responsibility to the State of Michigan is to direct resources to aid communities in addressing the pressing needs they identify. MCSC believes in the power of the community. Communities are best able to identify, address and solve the problems in their own "back yards." MCSC believes it should provide the resources, training and technical assistance necessary to empower communities to help others. The MCSC, therefore, does not tell communities what is wrong and how to fix it MCSC's focus has been, and will be to convene community forums that: • • • • help communities either find existing needs assessments of their population or help them facilitate their own. collect general information on the State's needs as a whole. educate key community service leaders and participants on the National and Community Service Trust Act of 1993. inform communities on the possibilities of AmeriCorps projects. The community forums will be executed through of the use of satellite down-linking to over a dozen sites across Michigan (see map attached). Partnerships with community service networks throughout the state will be utilized to bring together potentially interested community members. These partnerships have formed to develop a steering committee. The responsibility of the committee is to aid in the "visioning" of a plan for Michigan to respond to the National and Community Service Trust Act of 1993 and to provide guidance for the community forums. The committee members represent diverse perspectives in community service including: 4H extension service, higher education, community action agencies, community foundations, local United Ways, and voluntary action centers. Collaboration Emphasis is placed on collaboration throughout the MCSC's work and in its relationships with its grantees. Grantees are encouraged to engage in outreach to other organizations that could help in meeting needs through community service initiatives. MCSC continually seeks the input of key players in Michigan's community service Michigan Community Service Commission Page2 �arena for resource sharing, idea generation, guidance and focus. MCSC has, in collaboration with other stakeholders, created a list of community service priorities for Michigan called the Michigan Vision (see attached). The Michigan Vision is the touchstone for MCSC and its decision making and was developed through the collaborative efforts of representatives from foundations, corporations, higher education institutions, and several community service organizations. MCSC has had a long history of collaboration and partnership building. When the MCSC was awarded a planning grant from the Commission on National and Community Service in the area of national and community service programs (subtitle D), a working group was formed to help direct the MCSC toward implementation of the Michigan CARES initiative. This group consists of members representing community foundations, higher education, non-profits, and the Michigan United Way, Department of Education, Office on Aging, ACI'ION, 4H Extension, Points of Light Foundation. Michigan's community service organizations have a strong shared commitment to incorporating Service Learning in community service initiatives. MCSC has played a key role in the strategic planning of a Service Learning infusion program. In cooperation with the Michigan Campus Compact, American Youth Foundation and the K-12 Service Learning Center, the MCSC has established the Michigan Principles for Service (see attached). MCSC will continue its focus on collaboration by requiring that grantees through the MCSC work with community agencies to secure additional funding, exchange information, and explore new possibilities for partnership building. Outreach Making sure that communities are "in the loop," MCSC utilizes several mechanisms to perform outreach. Updated mailings have been sent to keep "players" informed on the National and Community Service Trust Act of 1993. A ''Dear Colleague" letter was sent to the entire mailing list of the MCSC to inform the public on AmeriCorps and the federal legislation. Further solicitation was achieved by including a form asking for more names and addresses of interested parties. MCSC is fortunate enough to be one of the few states with a Point of Light Foundation Youth Engaged in Service (YES) Ambassador. Outreach to youth is the one task of the YES Ambassador. To that end, the Michigan Youth Progressive Action Council (MYPAC) has been established to engage youth in the service movement and solicit youth voice. MCSC facilitates and hosts an annual all grantees meeting as well as meetings by subtitle. These meetings provide opportunities to obtain feedback from the grantees and offers time to engage in reflective activities. Additionally, much of the training for Michigan Community Service Commission Page 3 �evaluation and granting procedures is performed at these meetings. State Support Besides being created by Governor John Engler, the State of Michigan has supported the MCSC with over $130,000 in general fund monies for each of the past two years. The MCSC has established a standing committee on fund development to secure state and private funding. MCSC has established an avenue to other arenas of collaboration an suppon by appointing the Executive Director as a private sector liaison. Legislation has been drafted with strong suppon from both houses. It will be introduced some time in early 1994. This legislation is constructed in such a way as to ensure that MCSC's structure and operation will be in compliance with the National and Community Service Trust Act of 1993. Infrastructure Building MCSC will further the strength of Michigan's service infrastructure by working closely with Michigan's philanthropic foundations (i.e. the Charles Stewan Mott Foundation and the W. K. Kellogg Foundation) Michigan has established a Council of Michigan Foundations to act as a coordinating body in the community foundation arena. MCSC will also work closely with the existing service infrastructure to utilize existing networks, communicate vital information, perform outreach, and offer suppon to needy communities and community-based organizations. Action All of these mechanisms will be utilized to enact Michigan's Comprehensive Plan. The timeline (included) will further explain the various elements Michigan will employ to create an overall vision for the three-year-life of the National and Community Service Trust Act of 1993. B. The pre-selection process for Subtitle C programs will be as follows: On February 23, 1994, the MCSC, in cooperation with the 4H Extension Service, will conduct a community forum utilizing satellite telecommunications. This will offer MCSC an opponunity for outreach and informal needs assessment This will also be an opportunity for technical assistance to the interested public. Data will be collected and recorded for analysis to determine Michigan's specific need(s). All areas of AmeriCorps funding will be represented at the State level at the forums (i.e. K-12 Education, Higher Education, State Commission, etc.) By March 1994, potential grantees will be required to submit a "pre-RFP" that gives a brief description of the proposal and that answers some general questions like: • Is there a collaborative partnership identified in your proposal? • Do you have a fiscal agent in your pannership? Michigan Community Service Commission Page4 �• What amount and type of funding have you secured outside of the funding • • • requested through AmeriCorps? How have you included youth voice? How will you incmporate Service Learning? What basic technical assistance structure will you develop for participants and host sites? The MCSC will review the proposals and select the programs that have adequately answered the questions above. Those programs selected will be required to take part in a mandatory technical assistance meeting where a fmal request for grant proposal will be offered and explained. At no point are those submitting proposals and accepted required to submit a final proposal should they find that the burden is too heavy or some unforeseen circumstances occur. MCSC will make every effort to explain the pre-RFP evaluation criteria to community forum participants as federal regulations become public. C. SeeB D. Administration of grants program will be as follows: The MCSC has been funded in five of the subtitles of the National Community Service Act of 1991 and has extensive experience in the administration of community service grants. The MCSC is housed within the Michigan Jobs Commission and utilizes the administrative personnel for contracting and grant-making. E. Evaluation and monitoring will be conducted by an outside contractor. The MCSC is currently engaging in the RFP process to contract an evaluator for the grants under the National and Community Service Act of 1991. It is the intention of the MCSC to utilize the same procedure for the funding the MCSC receives under the AmeriCorps rubric. F. Technical assistance will be provided as described in B. The MCSC will also hold its annual all grantees meetings and meetings by specific funding stream. In addition, the community forums in February will be a vehicle for technical assistance to communities. G. Program development cannot be fully explored without knowledge of the scope and number of grant proposals. Proposals will be required to include youth voice, Service Learning, training for sites and participants and accounting and timeline narratives. H. Recruitment and placement procedures will be more detailed after dissemination of federal regulations. It is the intention of the MCSC to use the Michigan CARES model to develop, recruit and place AmeriCorps sites and participants. This model requires the use of community collaboratives to provide guidance; regional training teams to ensure continuity in education, and the inclusion of a community organization(s) to act as a fiduciary. I. Health and child care will be required, but no further information can be included Michigan Community Service Commission Page5 �until the publication of program regulations. J. The MCSC is not allowed, by law, to operate or house any program funded through the National and Community Service Trust Act of 1993. K. Recommendations to the Corporation with respect to Domestic Volunteer Service Act will be made by the MCSC. Recommendations of this type have been made in the past in collaboration with the ACTION director who serves as an exofficio member of the MCSC. L. Coordination with other State agencies has been the cornerstone to the MCSC's existence. Constant contact has been maintained with: the K-12 Serve -Michigan coordinator, Higher Education coordinator (Michigan Campus Compact), Michigan Office on Aging, ACTION, various community foundations, 4H Extension Services, United Way of Michigan, Michigan Non-Profit Forum, etc. MCSC considers these organizations partners and ask that their representatives serve in various advisory positions to the Commission. 3. Staffing Executive Director - responsible for enacting the Michigan Vision and managing day-today operations of the MCSC. Executive Secretary- responsible for administrative support for the MCSC. Staff Support Secretary - responsible for office support for the MCSC staff. Youth Policy Advisor - responsible for soliciting and advocating youth involvement and youth voice. Communications Director - responsible for the general communication (input and output) and public relations strategies and mechanisms for the MCSC. Outreach Coordinator - responsible for the technical assistance and feedback functions to grantees, interested public and service participants. 4. Technical Assistance Needs Training will be provided for staff as required by their position. Commission members will be trained through a mechanism developed through a multi-state coalition (lllinois, Kansas, Michigan, Ohio, and West Virginia) funded by the Commission on National and Community Service. This training will focus on evaluation procedures of grants, group communication and interaction skills and needs assessment activities. More development on this mechanism will be made in the near future.

This paperwork includes an indication of the partnership that would be formed with the MSUE, Children, Youth and Family, 4-H Youth Programs and the Commission as wei! as an explanation and breakdown of costs related to the statewide satellite videoconference. Diana, when we discussed this project with our 4-H bookkeeper, she indicated we have an agreement with the university that makes it feasible for us to work with a purchase order system for payment versus going through the Michigan State University Office of Contra!:"'~ and Grants. This eliminates the overhead charge of the university and other delays that could occur. Once the Michigan Community Service Commission has agreed to the project, and the Michigan 4-H Yot..rth Programs receives a purchase order from you, the project can be up and running. 4-H YOUTH PROGRAMS Coopetlltive E:tlenslon Ssnica 3H Serkey H~d Mithu)an :lot :_ans1ng, 48824-1111 517/355-JJBD :~x· 5171355-6i48 !n addition, payment to Future Media for facility, crew and satellite costs would be billed to the Michigan Community Service Commission.

A recent statewide issues identification process identified a need for more emphasis and programming in the areas of children, youths and families. The mission of the Children, Youth and Family Programs (CYF) is to educate within communities to enhance the quality of life across the life cycle. The organization's values are learning, lifelong education, research-based quality programming and diversity. Michigan 4-H Youth Programs is interested in partnering with the Michigan Community Service Commission because both organizations share the goal of strengthening Michigan's children, youths and families. Community service activities conducted throughout the state become one vehicle to make that happen. The Extension CYF Program has a staff experienced in working collaboratively with public and private agencies, educating and facilitating in communities and in producing print and video-based learning tools. �. l.J ..L.. \) "i:' ;:J "'* .l. / •.)

OYERYIEW In October, 1991 the Michigan Community Service Commission (MCSC) was created by Governor John Engler to promote community service and volunteerism as ways to effectively meet local needs. The Michigan Jobs Commission on the behalf of the Michigan Community Service Commission (MCSC) is sponsoring this competition and will request funding to support subgrant through funds authorized under the National and Community Service Trust Act of 1993. MCSC's mission is to encourage volunteerism, especially among young people, as an effective means of meeting the serious social challenges that face our communities today. The commission has been designated as Michigan's lead agency in applying for AmeriCorps funding from the Corporation for National and Community Service (The Corporation). On September 21, 1993, the President signed into law the National and Community Service Trust Act (the Act), which created The Corporation. The Corporation's mission is to engage Americans of all ages and backgrounds in community-based service. This service will address the nation's educational, public safety, human, and environmental needs to achieve direct and demonstrable results. In doing so, the Corporation will foster civic responsibility, strengthen the ties that bind us together as a people, and provide educational opportunity for those who make a substantial commitment to service. The Corporation will fund, and assist in developing, high-quality national and community service programs, and it will help facilitate the transfer of information and technical expertise. The Corporation will also fund and support service-learning programs where community-based organizations positively impacting youth in elementary, middle, and secondary schools (K-12) as well as programs that utilize the talents of older Americans. A separate application is available for those seeking Serve and Learn Community-based Organizations funding. The MCSC will be the lead contact for local communities to solicit funding for AmeriCorps and Learn and Serve -- Community-based Organizations (CBO) initiatives. This application is intended DDli for those interested in funding a program under the AmeriCorps plan. II. APPLICATION FOR CORPORATION RESOURCES--AMERICORPS AmeriCorps is about getting things done. It will engage the energy and idealism of the American people, especially young people, in meeting the most critical educational, public safety, human, and environmental needs of our communities. It will strengthen communities and the civic character of our people through service, and reward those who answer the call to service with enhanced educational opportunity. AmeriCorps will enable 1 �thousands of Americans to serve in a variety of programs on a full-time or part-time basis before, during, or after post-secondary education. In building the national service system, the Corporation aims to support locally driven programs that meet rigorous national standards. This strategy will enable communities across the nation to channel the unique talents and creativity of Americans toward effectively addressing their most important needs. Eli!Pble Applicants. Programs eligible to apply to MCSC for AmeriCorps grants include a wide variety of community corps, youth corps, specialized service programs focusing on a specific community need, individual placement programs, campus-based service programs, programs that train and place service learning coordinators in schools or team leaders in corps programs, intergenerational programs, professional corps, and the like. III. AMERICORPS FUNDS Formula allotment funds: Based on a formula based on population, the State of Michigan has been allotted $1,909,484 in program funds and approximately 138 educational awards. These funds are not entitlements. The MCSC must provide the Corporation with a detailed description of the programs proposed for funding and all programs must meet both the high quality standards of the MCSC and the Corporation. Competitive allotment: In addition to the grants made available to Michigan by formula allocation, the Corporation will make funds and educational awards available to states on a competitive basis. In total, approximately $51 million will be available to states nationwide. The MCSC must provide the Corporation with a detailed description of the programs proposed for funding and all programs must meet both the high quality standards of the MCSC and the Corporation. IV. EDUCATIONAL AWARDS Because the Corporation has more funds available for educational awards than for program costs, they strongly urge applicants that have adequate resources to cover program costs to request educational awards only. It is important to note that the educational awards are not actually "awarded" to programs. The awards are kept in the Treasury in the National Service Trust Fund until participants claim them following successful completion of a term of service. Programs will receive a designated number of approved slots, but will not actually receive any monetary assistance from the Corporation. Likewise, participants, upon claiming the benefits, will not receive their award directly, but rather it will be provided on their behalf to their designated institution of higher education, training program, or lending institution (if for the re-payment of a student loan.) The participants must expend the educational awards seven (7) years after the service is completed. V. RESTRICTIONS Applicants may not apply for assistance for a project in more than one application. That is, applicants may not include the same project in more than one application. For example, a national nonprofit awarded Corporation (AmeriCorps) funds under this application may give subgrants to enable local affiliates to run various projects, but those affiliates may not seek additional AmeriCorps funds for the same projects through the State Commissions. 2 �VI. COMMUNITY IMPACT • DIRECT BENEFIT National service programs that will be funded by the MCSC must meet education, public safety, human, and environmental needs in the community, and provide a direct and demonstrable benefit that is valued by the community. Service that provides a direct benefit includes physical projects such as renovating low income housing or creating a playground in a vacant lot, and human service projects such as tutoring, mentoring or conflict resolution. Eligible activities also include supervising participants or volunteers whose service provides a direct benefit to the community. In all cases, service activities must result in a specific identifiable service or improvement that does not duplicate the routine functions of workers or displace paid employees. Activities that do not provide a direct benefit to the community, such as clerical work or research, may be performed if they are in support of a direct service. However, such activities may not be the primary activity of a national service program. For example, a team whose project involves providing meals, transportation, and health services to the homebound may need to conduct a door-to-door survey of community residents to help locate those in need of services; if they then go on to provide those services, this kind of research would be an appropriate activity for the team. Prohibited service. Prohibited activities may not be performed by participants in the course of their duties, at the request of the program staff or in a manner that would associate the activities with the national service program or the State Commission. These activities include: • any effort to influence legislation, as prohibited under s 501(c) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (26 U.S.C. 501(c)); • organizing protests, petitions, boycotts, or strikes; • assisting, promoting, or deterring union organizing; • impairing existing contracts for services or collective bargaining agreements; • engaging in partisan political activities, or other activities designed to influence the outcome of an election to any public office; • engaging in religious instruction, conducting worship services, providing instruction as part of a program that includes mandatory religious education or worship, constructing or operating facilities devoted to religious instruction or worship, maintaining facilities primarily or inherently devoted to religious instruction or worship, or engaging in any form of religious proselytization; and • providing a direct benefit to: (1) a business organized for profit; (2) a labor union; (3) a partisan political organization; (4) a nonprofit organization that fails to comply with the restrictions contained ins 501(c) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986; and (5) an organization engaged in the religious activities described above, unless Commission assistance is not used to support those religious activities. 3 �The Cor.poration and MCSC Priorities. In order to concentrate national efforts on meeting educational, public safety, human, or environmental needs, the MCSC, (in accordance with AmeriCorps), has identified priorities within each of the four main issue areas. Given the realities of limited resources and the extent to which other public, private and nonprofit responses to many of these needs already exist, it is important that the Commission supports programs that undertake activities that have a maximum impact upon Michigan's communities. Unless there are compelling reasons to do otherwise, programs proposed for direct funding must address one or more of the following priority areas: education, environment, human needs, and public safety. Additional detail on each of these areas is outlined in the following text. (Applicants who are proposing programs that do not address the priority areas must provide reasons for not doing so in the application.) Education 1. 2. School Readiness: furthering early childhood development Examples include: • Improve the quality and availability of child development programs by working in day care and Head Start centers and preschool programs. • Teach literacy and other basic skills to parents of young children so that they can help their children learn. • Help teen parents stay in school by proving needed services, such as child care. School Success: improving the educational achievement of school-age children. Examples include: • Work in schools with high concentrations of low-income students. • Mentor, tutor, and provide after-school and summer learning opportunities. • Coordinate service-learning activities for K-12 students. Enyjropment 1. Neighborhood Environment: reducing community environmental hazards. Examples include: • Revitalize neighborhoods by creating and maintaining recreation areas, green spaces, and community gardens. • Eliminate environmental risks through education, testing, and cleanup. • Reduce waste trough energy efficiency efforts, recycling, and other conservation measures. 4 �2. Natural Environment: conserving, restoring, and sustaining natural habitats. Examples include: • Conserve and restore lands, forests, rivers, streams and wetlands. • Make parks more accessible through trail maintenance and infrastructure improvements. • Sample, map, monitor and record air and water quality and the status of ground water, land, plant, and animal resources. Human Needs 1. 2. Health: providing independent living assistance and home-and community-based health care. Examples include: • Providing independent living assistance and health care to homebound elderly, people with disabilities, and people living with AIDS. • Improving the health of low-income communities by offering preventive health services through community health clinics. • Offering prenatal care, parenting education, and health care to families of young children through home visits. Home: rebuilding neighborhoods and helping people who are homeless. Examples include: • Help people who are homeless by providing shelter support, assisting in moving into permanent housing, and related services. • Renovate and rehabilitate low-income housing. • Help individuals move from public assistance and into self-sufficiency by providing job training, literacy tutoring, and other services. Public Safety 1. Crime Control: improving criminal justice services, law enforcement, and victim services. Examples include: • Enhance community policing efforts by working with local law enforcement • Reduce specific crime problems such as drug dealing, domestic violence, crimes motivated by bias, crimes against senior citizens and child abuse. • Improve services available for victims of crime and strengthen innovative criminal justice programs, such as neighborhood cowts and community restitution. 5 �2. Crime Prevention: reducing the incidence of violence. Examples include: • Reduce crimes against youth by inaking schools safe, creating safe havens, providing training in conflict resolution, and involving youth in prevention efforts. • Provide substance abuse counseling and education. • Develop specific crime prevention strategies targeted at key locations such as playgrounds, public transportation points, and other public gathering places. VII. STRENGTHENING COMMUNITIES Programs must strengthen communities, bringing together both institutions and individuals to cooperate in bringing about lasting and constructive change. There are two basic elements to the "strengthening communities" component of the MCSC service plan. The first is at the institutional level, the second is at the participant level. Institutional Impact Programs will impact institutions in a variety of ways. AmeriCorps is geared to be a infrastrucutre building component to supplement current community initiatives. All programs should address the following pertinent areas: organizational capacity, sustainability, diversity and replication. Or!Wrlzational Capacity Buildin~. Programs must enhance their connection to the community. Local engagement in service efforts is vital to developing effective programs, and to sustaining and building Michigan's communities. Thus, programs must perform projects that are designed, implemented, and evaluated with extensive and broad-based local input, including, consultation with representatives from the commnity served, participants (or potential participants) in the program, community-based agencies with a demonstrated record of experience in providing services, foundations, businesses, and local labor organizations representing employees of service sponsors if these entities exist in the area to be served by the program. Consultations with labor organizations will assist in strengthening communities by offering programs the opportunity to collaborate with various sectors of the community that can provide technical expertise in substantive areas. The full range of Michigan associations -civic, educational, religious, social service, and business-- should utilize the MCSC's service plan as an opportunity to join together in the common work of service. Sustainability. A program must have the ability to sustain itself beyond the period of MCSC/Corporation support. Programs must show evidence of broad-based community support, show presence of multiple funding sources, and illustrate cost effectiveness. Diversity. Programs can strengthen communities by involving individuals from the community, bringing together diverse participants in activities that encourage mutual understanding and cooperation. Programs must agree to seek to include participants from the communities in which project are conducted, as well as individuals of different races and ethnicities, socioeconomic backgrounds, both men and women, and individuals with 6 �disabilities. Those programs that do not achieve diversity among participants in all areas may seek it by involving a diverse group of additional volunteers in other service alongside regular participants. In assessing whether programs meet this requirement, the Corporation recognized that certain programs require the recruitment of participants who share a specific similar characteristic or background. For example, a professional corps that requires participants to possess specific post-secondary training might lack certain types of diversity by design. However, in no case may a program violate the nondiscrimination and nondisplacement rules governing participant selection Programs that lack diversity in one or more aspects nevertheless must strive for diversity in other ways. All programs should undertake activities that will provide the following key areas: &<plication. A program should measure its level of replication and be prepared to be a resource for others. Programs should be willing to share lessons learned from their experiences with other communities to further build infrastructures across Michigan and the country. Partici.Jlant Impact Programs can seek dramatically different sorts of impacts on participants, depending on their designs. In professional corps, significant goals include improving particular skills and illustrating the importance of using specialized skills to address pressing needs. In service entrepreneurship initiatives, goals for participant impacts include the development of leadership and managerial skills. However, all programs should seek to instill a spirit of citizenship although programs will achieve this goal in different ways. Citizenship Programs must help participants develop, through their service experiences, the ethic and skills needed for productive, active citizenship. Programs should thoughtfully employ service-learning or other educational methods in order to develop participants' skills in solving community problems, and to cultivate a lifelong ethic of productive, active citizenship. Because voting is an important component of citizenship, every program must ensure, in a non-partisan manner, that each participant who is eligible to vote register to vote. Trainin~. Education. and Supervision. Programs must provide participants with the training, skills, and knowledge necessary to perform the tasks required in their respective projects. In fulfilling this requirement, programs should provide participants with background information on the community to help them understand why the service projects are needed. Programs may also provide, if appropriate, specific training in a particular field, including training and educational components designed to help participants explore career possibilities in areas such as child development, teaching, public health, or public safety. Sl.JlWon Services. Programs must provide support services that help participants: ( 1) who are completing a term of service to other educational and career opportunities and (2) who are school dropouts to earn equivalent of a high school diploma. 7 �VIII. ELIGffiiLITY. RECRUITMENT. AND SELECTION Ienns of Seryice. Programs may engage participants on a full-time or part-tune basis. Full-time participants must serve at least 1700 hours over9 months to 1 year. Part-time participants must serve at least 900 hours over 2 years. If the part-time participant is enrolled in an institution of higher education while performing some or all of the service, the individual must provide at least 900 hours over a period of up to 2 to 3 years. Eli~bility for a Second Tenn. To be eligible to serve a second additional term of service, an individual must receive satisfactory performance review(s) for any previous term(s) of service. Mere eligibility for an additional term of service does not, however, guarantee selection or placement Participants' eligibility for second or a additional terms of service must be based on a midterm and end-of-term evaluation of participants' perfonnance, focusing on such factors as (1) whether the participant has completed the required number of hours; (2) whether the participant has satisfactorily completed assignments, tasks or projects; and (3) whether the participant has met any other performance criteria which were clearly communicated both orally and in writing at the beginning of the term of service. Selection. First, the MCSC encourages programs to select participants, from their own communities, who possess leadership potential and a commitment to the goals of this service program, regardless of educational level, work experience, or economic background. Second, programs must select participants in a non-partisan, non-political, non-discriminatory manner. Third, programs must establish minimum qualifications for participants related to the service they will provide. Finally, programs must ensure that they do not displace any existing paid employees. The MCSC advocates for communities to recruit members of their community to fill the positions of the participants. However, there will be opportunities to recruit diverse participants from around the state and country. The Corporation will create a national recruitment pool and the MCSC will develop a pool specific to Michigan to help facilitate some recruitment for programs. The individuals in these pools will be those that have shown an interest in serving in different communities other than their own. The MCSC strongly encourages programs to select some participants from state and national recruitment systems in order to supplement local recruitment with people who: (1) are from different backgrounds and regions of the nation; (2) have special skills or training; and (3) desire to serve but live in areas where there are few or no national service programs. In an effort to defray costs associated with the transportation of MCSC program participants from the national service participant pool, the MCSC, through the Corporation, will be able to pay the transportation costs and in cases of hardship, relocation costs up to $550 for up to 10% of a program's service participants selected from the national recruitment system. Such costs are subject to certain conditions and restrictions. Participant Contracts. To ensure that participants understand what will be expected from them. programs must use participant contracts that stipulate terms of service, acceptable conduct, grievance procedures, and termination rules, and other assurances as required by the Commission and the Corporation. 8 �I X. PARTICIPANT BENEFITS Liyin~ Allowances. The program must provide an annual living allowance to each full-time participant The amount of the living allowance must be at least, but not more than twice, $7,440 for fiscal year 1994 or about $4.40 per hour, assuming a total of 1700 hours served. No more than 85%, or approximately $6,324, of each participant's minimum living allowance and related employment taxes may be paid by the Corporation through AmeriCorps or other Federal funding sources. Programs may provide a prorated living allowance to part-time national service participants and to participants who are authorized to setve a reduced term of service. However, the Corporation will not pay more than 85% of the prorated living allowance. For programs utilizing part-time participants, the Corporation will fund up to 85% of the living allowance if the program chooses to offer a living allowance. The Corporation may waive or reduce the required living allowance if a program demonstrates that requirement is inconsistent with the program objectives and that the proposed living allowance is sufficient to meet the necessary costs of living (including food, housing, and transportation) in the program's area of location. Additionally, the living allowance requirement does not apply to programs that were in existence prior to September 21, 1993 or to a program that receives only service educational awards from the Corporation. Professional corps programs may provide participants a living allowance that exceeds the maximum amount ($14,880 for fiscal year 1994), but Commission funds may not be used to pay for any portion of the living allowance. Educational Awar<is.-.An individual serving in a Corporation approved position will receive an educational award from the National Service Trust upon successful completion of each term of service for up to two terms. Full-time AmeriCorps service participants, upon successful completion of a term of service, will receive an educational award of $4,725. Part-time participants serving 900 hours will receive $2,363. Participants who are released by the program before completing a required term of service for demonstrated and compelling personal circumstances may receive a prorated national service educational award, while participants who are released for cause may not The Corporation is requiring each applicant to describe the rationale for its distribution of educational awards to program participants. In general, this distribution should treat equally all participants doing the same or substantially similar work. Nevertheless, the Corporation recognizes that equal treatment may not be feasible or desirable in some instances. Although the Corporation does not expect to fund programs in which unequal treatment is based on participants' financial need, it will evaluate on a case-by-case basis the rationales of programs that do not plan to provide all participants with educational awards. A program also could choose to offer alternative post-service benefits to participants in lieu of the national service educational awards provided by the Corporation. All Corporation programs are strongly encouraged to offer alternative post-setvice benefits, such as tuition credits at an institution of higher education or transition assistance to participants who will not receive Corporation educational awards. 9 �Child Care. Programs must provide child care or a child care allowance tO any full-time participant who needs such assistance in order to participate. All (100%) of the child care expenses will be paid by the Corporation, but those expenses must be estimated in the application. The Corporation defines need, to be consistent with Child Care and Development Block Grant Act of 1990, as follows: total family income of the participant must be less than 75% of the State median income; the participant must reside with and be a parent or guardian of a child under the age of 13; and the participant must not be receiving child care assistance from another source at the time of acceptance into the program, unless the participant would become ineligible for child care by virtue of enrolling in the program. To ensure that funded care meets minimum health and safety standards, the regulations also tie eligible providers and the amount of the child care allowance to the Child Care and Development Block Grant of 1990. Health ~ Programs must provide health care benefits to full-time national service participants who are not otherwise insured The Corporation will defme a minimum benefits package that the MCSC will use, and up to 85% of the cost of an affordable policy that provides these benefits. Any program wishing to provide alternative benefits will need to obtain approval from the Corporation. Disability. Programs must provide reasonable accommodation, including auxiliary aids and services (as defined in S3(1) of the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (42 U.S.C. 12102(1)) based on the individualized need of a participant who is a qualified individual with a disability (as defined inS 101(8) of such Act (42 U.S.C. 12111(8)). Service programs funded through the MCSC may apply for additional financial assistance from the Corporation for the purpose of complying with this provision. X. PARTICIPANT RELEASE Reasons for Release. Programs may release participants for two reasons, for: (1) compelling personal circumstances or (2) for cause as defined by the MCSC and the Corporation, or by the program's participant contract. In both cases, programs have the primary responsibility for determining when to release a participant. Participants released due to compelling personal circumstances may receive pro-rated educational awards while participants released for cause may not. Release for Cause. Programs must release participants for cause if they are convicted of a felony. H participants are charged with a violent felony or the sale or distribution of a controlled substance, or if they are convicted of the possession of a controlled substance, or if they are convicted of the possession of a controlled substance, programs must suspend their service without a living allowance and without receiving credit for hours missed. Programs may add additional provisions for releasing participants for cause in the participant contract A participant who is wrongly released or suspended for cause will receive credit for any service missed and back-pay for missed living allowances. The legislation further describes the conditions under which participants whose service has been suspended may be reinstated, the impact of release for cause, and the grievance procedure available to participants. 10 �Guideline. Programs must establish written guidelines, to be incorporated into the participant contract, that explain the circumstances under which participants will be released for cause. X I. MISSION. OBJECTivES ANJl EvALUATION Mission and Aooual Objectives. Programs must establish a mission statement and annual objectives covering each of the following: meeting community needs, strengthening community, and developing participant citizenship and other skills. Although the relative significance of different objectives will vary by program type, in general, the community impact objectives will bear considerably greater weight in the selection process than the community strengthening and participant development objectives. Internal eyaluation/Monitorin~. Programs must track progress towards the annual program objectives. Programs must monitor the quality of services provided, the satisfaction of both persons served and program participants, and management effectiveness. Internal evaluation and monitoring should be a continuous process, allowing for frequent feedback and quick correction of weaknesses. Internal evaluation and monitoring approaches such as community advisory councils, participant advisory councils, peer reviews, quality control inspections, and customer and participant surveys and encouraged. Corporation Evaluation. Programs must cooperate with the Corporation through the MCSC and its evaluators in all MCSC and Corporation monitoring and evaluation efforts, including in-depth studies of selected programs. Additionally, programs must collect and submit to the Corporation the following data: (1) information on participants including the total number of participants in the program. and the number of participants by race, ethnicity, sex, age, gender, economic background, education level, disability classification, geographic region, and marital status and (2) information on services conducted in areas classified as empowerment zones (or redevelopment areas) including areas that are adversely affected by Federal actions related to the management of Federal lands, in areas that are greater than the national average. Additional data may be collected and submitted if the program deems it appropriate. XII. NATIONAL IDENIITY Identification. To help promote a national identity for all AmeriCorps programs and participants, programs must agree to identify the program, through the use of logos, common application materials, and other means, as part of a larger national effort and to participate in other activities such as common opening ceremonies (including the administration of a national oath or affirmation), service days, and conferences. A national service programs may continue to use its own name as the primary identification, logo, or other identifying materials on uniforms or other items. Start of Qperations. Programs must agree to begin operations in late May or June, late August or September, or January. Creating "classes" of participants who begin and "graduate" from their terms of service at the same time will help create a national identity. In addition, programs must agree to fill all national service positions left vacant by attrition by no later than six weeks after the program starting date. This requirement reflects the consideration that continually filling positions left vacant by attrition may erode the sense of cohesion among participants and other national service programs. This requirement will also facilitate recruiting in concert with the academic calendar years. 11 �XIII. BUDGET AND GRANT REQUIREMENTS Prowro Cost. Corporation funds may not exceed 75% of the program's (whether the program is a grantee or subgrantee) total cost. The program must provide the remaining share of funds through cash or in-kind contributions. In-kind contributions are the value of goods or services donated by a third party in support of the project. The remaining share of funds may come from Federal, State, or local sources. However, the Corporation may waive the budget match requirement if it detennines that there is a lack of available fmancial resources at the local level. Livin~ Allowance. For each eligible participant, no more than 85% of each participant's minimum living allowance and related employment taxes may be paid by the Corporation or other Federal funds. Child Care Allowance. For each eligible participant, the Corporation will pay 100% of the child care allowance, or, if the program provides child care through an eligible provider, the actual cost of the care or the amount of the allowance, whichever is less. Health Care Allowance. For each eligible participant, the Corporation will pay up to 85% of the cost of an affordable policy that provides minimum benefits. The Corporation will not pay any share of the cost of a policy that does not include the minimum benefits package as defmed by the Corporation. National Recruitment. The Corporation will pay the transportation cost, and in cases of hardship, relocation costs of up to $550 for each participant, up to 10% of a program's participants, selected from the national recruitment system. Such costs are subject to certain conditions and restrictions. Administrative Costs. Not more than 2.6% of the grant amount may be used to pay for administrative costs. Administrative costs are costs associated with the overall administration of an AmeriCorps program. Such costs include the following: (1) indirect costs (i.e., costs identified with two or more cost objectives but not identified with a particular cost objective) as described in applicable provisions of Office of Management and Budget Circulars that relate to indirect costs; (2) costs for fmancial, accounting, or contracting functions; (3) costs for insurance that protects the entity that operates the program; and (4) costs for salaries and benefits of the director and any other administrative staff of the program. Administrative costs do not include allowable costs directly related to program operations, such as: (1) costs for living allowances and training of participants; (2) costs for staff training; (3) costs for travel; (4) costs related to the evaluation of the program; and (5) costs for salaries and benefits of staff who recruit, train, place, or supervise participants. Particular costs such as those associated with staff who perform both administrative and program functions may be prorated between administrative costs and costs directly related to program operations. EQ.pipmeut. Not more than 10% of the grant amount may be used to purchase equipment to be used for programmatic operation. 12 �Match Requirements Expenses for full-time participants Contributions from the Corporation Expected contributions from Programs Health Care Not more than 85% At least a 15% Cash Match Living Allowance Not more than 85% At least a 15% Cash Match Child Care 100% of expenses Overall program operating costs Not more than 75% of overall operating costs Equipment Not more than 10% of the Remaining costs for total grant award equipment 0% Remaining in-kind and/or cash support Grant Size Restriction. No AmeriCorps grants awarded through the State of Michigan shall exceed $276,000 per 20 full-time participants (or equivalent). Office of Management and Budget Circulars. Program must comply with all applicable OMB circulars for grant management and Federal laws, including the supplementation, nonduplication, and nondisplacement provisions set forth in 45 CFR 2506.2. XIV. PROGRAM CHARACTERISTICS Program Tmes. Applicants have a great deal of flexibility to design programs that will best achieve the three types of impacts: "getting things done" in communities, strengthening the ties that bind communities together, and improving the citizenship and skills of participants. This flexibility includes the ability to target individuals of a certain age or skill level to participate; involve appropriate partner organizations to train, supervise, or support participants; and place participants individually in project or organize them in teams. Similarly, programs may determine whether a full-time or part-time schedule is more appropriate to the program's goals, and if participants may serve for a second term within the same program, for example, as a team leader. Program~. Programs must be large enough to achieve a demonstrable impact on the community served. Thus, while the actual size of each program may vary depending on the size of the community in which in operates, the design of the program, and other factors, the Corporation encourages programs to enroll at least 20 full-time equivalent participants, reg~ess of whether participants are placed individually or in teams. 13 �XV. SELECTION CRITERIA Planning Grants. The MCSC and the Corporation may fund planning grants in fiscal year 1994. In evaluating applications for planning grants, the criteria discussed above relating to program concept, organizational capacity, need, and program and participant mix will apply. In addition, they will consider the quality of the plan for developing the program, the track record of the organization in launching new initiatives, and the appropriateness of the planning budget. Each planning grant will be limited to a $50,000 maximum. Proposals for planning grants will be entered into the pool of proposals for competitive funding through states and run the formula allotment. Qperatin& Grants. In selecting among applications for operating grants, including educational awards, and applications for educational awards only, the Corporation and the MCSC will apply the following criteria: • Demonstrated need; • Quality and innovation of the concept and design of the program; • Track record, experience and capacity of the sponsoring organization; • Sustainability NwiUO%l In selecting programs, MCSC and the Corporation will take into consideration the extent to which both the program overall and its particular project will address needs important to the community and be conducted in areas of need as defmed in the legislation. Legislated areas of need are: • Communities designated by the Federal Government or states as empowerment zones or redevelopment areas, targeted for special economic incentives, or otherwise identifiable as having high concentrations of low-income people. • Areas that are environmentally distressed. • Areas adversely affected by Federal actions related to the management of Federal lands that result in significant regional job losses and economic dislocation. • Areas adversely affected by reduction in Defense spending or the closure or realignment of military installations. • Areas that have unemployment rates greater than the national average unemployment for the most recent 12 months for which satisfactory data are available. Quality <70%) a. Promm Desiw C4Q%l. The MCSC and the Corporation will consider the quality of the program based on: the potential impact of using proposed national service participants to meet the community needs being addressed; 14 �inclusion of a clear and compelling mission statement; identification of specific objectives and indicators of success; development of an effective recruitment, selection, and training plan for staff and participants, including recruitment of participants and staff from the community to be served; ability to provide appropriate supervision, counseling. service-learning and other education opportunities. and outplacement to participants; the involvement of participants and community residents in the design, operation, and leadership of the program; development pf a sound plan for continually improving the program based on self-assessment and monitoring of community and participant satisfaction with work perfonned; inclusion of an appropriate organization and staffing plan; and the program's cost-effectiveness in achieving identified outcomes, including per participant cost. b. Or~anizational Capacity (30%). The MCSC and the Corporation will consider organizational capacity based on: the quality of the leadership of the service program; the past perfonnance of the organization or program; the organization's connection to the community; the extent to which the program builds on existing programs; evidence of strong and broad-based community support for the program; and availability of additional funding sources for the program. An application proposing the replication of an existing program will also be evaluated based on the success of the program in its original site. including the results of any evaluation undertaken; the program's analysis of the strengths and weaknesses of the original program; reasons for selecting the replication site and discussion of adjustments needed for adaptation to a new site; and the qualification of the leaders of the program at the new site. Sustajnability U 0% l The MCSC and the Corporation will consider the ability of the program to sustain itself beyond the period of Corporation support; presence of multiple or private funding sources; and cost-effectiveness. Additional consideration will be given to programs that significantly exceed the match with non-Federal funds; and to State departments that are providing a substantial match to Corporation funds. Innoyatjon awl Replication C10%l The MCSC and the Corporation will consider the degree to which needs coincide to program design, the innovative aspects of the program, and the appropriateness of replicating the program in the future. XVI. PRIORITY CONSIDERATION In addition to the criteria on which individual applications will be rated, MCSC and the Corporation will give priority consideration to the following issues: • Stan Date. The MCSC and the Corporation is especially interested in funding programs that will be able to start up quickly. in September 1994, after completing an appropriate planning phase. 15 �• Participant Diyersjty. The MCSC and the Corporation seek a broadly diverse participant pool that includes a large representation of young ~ults; proportiona~ ratio of individuals who have not attended college and those With college-educauon experience; approximately equal numbers of men and women; individuals of all races and ethnicities; and individuals with physical and cognitive disabilities. • Pro~ T)!pe. The MCSC and the Corporation anticipates funding a range of program types that will yield the desired participant pool. Due to the large number of pre- or non-college youth who are participating in existing youth service programs eligible for Corporation funding under other applications, the Corporation will give priority consideration under this application to applicants proposing programs that involve significant numbers of participants with college-education experience. Because most existing youth service programs address a variety of issue areas, the Corporation will also give priority consideration to programs focused on particular national priorities. • Geo~phic Diversity. The MCSC and the Corporation will ensure that the programs funded are geographically diverse and include projects in both urban and rural areas. • Geomphic Concentration. The MCSC and the Corporation may fund programs that will enable it to test the effect of concentrating a critical mass of participants in a small geographic area such as a rural community, small city, or part of a larger city. • Special Considerations. The MCSC and the Corporation will give special consideration to programs able to start-up quickly as a result of having completed a planning phase; programs having start dates in late May or June, late August or September, or January; programs seeking participants with college education experience; and programs able to leverage funds at a level beyond that required by the Act. XVII. DEFINITIONS Act means the National and Community Service Trust Act of 1993. Administrative Costs means costs associated with the overall administration of an AmeriCorps program, including such costs as the following: financial, accounting, or contracting functions, insurance that protects the entity that operates the program; salaries and benefits of the director and any other administrative staff of the program. Administrative costs do not include allowable costs diretly related to program operations. These program costs include: living allowances and training of participants; staff training; travel; evaluation and monitoring; salaries and benefits of staff who recruit, train, place, or supervise particpants. AmeriCorps Educational Award means a national service educational award given to participants who successfully complete the required number of service hours for full-time or part-time participation in an AmeriCorps program.

Name: Title: Signature: Phone: 24 Date: �Directions The Mission Statement should express the program's vision with regard to the three key goals of national service --meeting community needs, strengthening communities, and developing participant citizenship and skills. Here you should indicate the ultimate impacts that you wish to achieve--"reduce violence in schools," and the like. Please be aware that to demonstrate the impact of national service grants, the Corporation may assess your pgoram 's success in achieving its mission, but you will not be responsible for this type of evaluation. your mission statement shgould therefore be geared to the most ambitious goals you believe that you can achieve, even if you do not believe you can measure them on your own. Your Annual Objectives should be derived from your mission statement and should reflect as directly as possible your desired impacts. You will be responsible for assessing your success in achieving your annual objectivies. These should be quantitative wherever possible and, in all cases, demonstrable. Each objective should address only one activity, include only one result, and provide at least one indicator of quality or customer satisfaction. For example: "To assist 500 homebound elderly to live independently with 80% of the involved elderly indicating that they could not live independently without this assislance." To the extent possible, programs should develop outcome objectives that indicate real changes in the performance or activities of communities or individuals: in a tutoring program, level of improved academic achievement; in a safe schools program, percent of reduction in school violence; in a homelessness program, number of transitions to permanent housing. The Corporation recognizes, however, that impacts are often hard to measureand difficult to assign specifically to one intervention. In these cases, other indicators of success, such as staff satisfaction, may be more appropriate. The Corporation encoruages programs to develop innovative ways to demonstrate impacts, such as customer surveys and before/after videotapes, along with the more traditional measures such as test schores, graduation rates, and staff satisfaction rates. As a rule, programs should seek to establish the most ambitious objectives whose achievement they will be able to clearly demonstrate. Example objectives follow. They represent only a suggested form for such objectives; you are encouraged to be both creative and realistic as you design objectives for your own program. CommunitY Impact Examples Education • To provide an average of five hours of tutoring weekly to each of 200 junior high school sutdents, with 50% improved test performance and 80% teacher satisfaction. Human Services • To rehabiitate 20 low-income housing units, achieving "significant improvement" ratings from 35% of neighborhood residents polled after project completion. Environment To construct 10 miles of hiking ttails, obtaining 85% "excellent" ratings on the ttails from trail users surveyed after completion. Public Safety • To provide 2000 hours of violence prevention patrols in 10 high-violence schools, resulting in a 33% decline in violence. CommunitY-Bnildin& E:xamgles • To form partnerships with 5 compancies as reflected by co-sponsored activities and substantial involvement by company personneL To build Jrogram capacity by forming partnerships with 3 community-based organizations as demonstrated by cosponsored projects and use of shared resoW'CCS. Participant Peyelopment Examnies • To develop a sustained commibnent to education in 60% of participants, as demonstrated by continued work in the field of education during the next year. • To improve citizenship of 80% of participants, as evidenced by continued commitment to improving their community. 25 �0 Applicant Name: - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 0 Program Name: - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Mission Statement and Annual Objectives ---- - What is your program's mission statement?
