The Corporation is a new federal entity created by the National and Community Service Trust Act of 1993. In conjunction with the White House Office of National Service, the Corporation combines the Commission on National and Community Service and ACTION, the federal domestic volunteer agency. What kinds of national and community service programs will the Corporation support? The programs of both the Commission and ACTION will be enhanced by the new Corporation. The Corporation will continue to support innovative programs in higher education, ServeAmerica and service-learning, the Civilian Community Corps and programs currently funded by ACTION, including VISTA and theNationalSeniorVolunteerCorps. Current grantees, the youth corps and national service demonstration models, and subtitles of the National and Community Service Act, may continue to receive funding from the new Corporation. The Corporation will also administer AmeriCorps. C1J U •E QJ What is AmeriCorps? rJ:J AmeriCorps is the President's initiative to achieve direct results in addressing the nation's critical education, human, public safety, and environmental needs at the community level. The program • provides meaningful opportunities for Americans of all ages and backgrounds to serve their country in organized efforts, fostering citizen responsibility, building community, and providing educational opportunity for those who make a substantial commitment to service. ~ = = 6 ~ •~ What kinds of service does AmeriCorps support? 6 0 u The Corporation will support programs that directly address needs in the areas of education, human, public safety, and the environment through service that provides a direct benefit to the community in which it is performed. National service programs must also have an impact on their participants, developing public-spirited, effective citizens with the skills needed for lifelong contributions to solving the pressing problems facing our communities and our nation. National service participants may not displace existing workers nor duplicate their functions. ~ What kinds of organizations .will be eligible to participate in AmeriCorps? = tU The National and Community Service Trust Act encourages grant applications from a wide range programs- those that engage a handful of volunteers or multi-state networks of service of .....t organizations. Programs may be run by not-for-profit organizations, by local, state, and federal government entities, by Indian tribes, by institutions of higher education, by local school and police districts, and by partnerships among any of the above. Programs may not provide direct benefits to businesses, labor unions, or partisan political organizations. They may not use assistance to support religious activities or to engage participants in lobbying activities. tU = 0 �What types of programs are eligible for AmeriCorps grants? Programs eligible for grants include a wide variety of community corps, youth corps, specialized service programs focusing on a specific community need, individual placement programs, campusbased service programs, programs that train and place service-learning coordinators in schools or team leaders in corps programs, intergenerational programs, national service entrepreneurship programs, professional corps, and the like. What are the Corporation's criteria for selecting AmeriCorps programs? The Corporation will develop and publish specific funding criteria in January 1994. Generally, national service programs must directly address the education, human, environment, and public safety needs of the community; must not duplicate or displace existing workers, must ensure that participantsreceivethepropertrainingandsupport; andmustshowthattheywillapplymeasurable performance goals to their programs. How will funds be allocated? Of the funds that the Corporation allocates for AmeriCorps in fiscal year 1994, approximately $60 million will be allocated to states that submit plans approved by the Corporation according to a population-based formula, and up to $60 million will be awarded on a competitive basis. $1.8 million will be set aside for Indian tribes, and another $1.8 million will fund programs in United States territories and possessions. The remaining $56.7 million in funds will be allocated directly by the Corporation. Additional funds will be used for training and technical assistance or competitively distributed as matching "challenge" grants. What fonn will AmeriCorps grants take? There will be non-renewable planning grants for a period of up to one year and renewable operating grants for up to three years. What funds will the Corporation supply for AmeriCorps? What non-Corporation funds must programs supply? Programs are encouraged to raise private funds. These matching requirements must be viewed as floors not ceilings. The Corporation will pay for 85 percent of stipends up to the VISTA subsistence allowance (roughly minimum wage), 85 percent of health care costs, 75 percent of other operating costs, 100 percent of a child care allowance, and the education award. Therefore, programs will pay at least 15 percent of stipends, 15 percent of health care, and 25 percent of other operating costs. Programs that pay stipends above the VISTA level must supply all funds in excess of that amount. How will states be included in the AmeriCorps program? Every state wishing to participate in national service initiatives must establish a commission on national and community service or a comparable entity for which the Corporation will provide partial funding. Governors will appoint members to the bipartisan commissions, which will include yow1g people involved in service, educators, representatives of national service programs, older American volunteer programs, labor, and business as well as other experts in the field. States will draft threeyear plans outlining their service proposals, which will be updated annually. During the first year of implementation, the governor may designate a transitional entity to perform the functions of thl' state commission for twenty-seven months after the date of the Act's enactment. �Will organizations receive AmeriCorps funds through a state commission or directly from the Corporation? In general, local organizations will work with state commissions. National nonprofit, multi-state programs and professional corps programs may receive funds directly from the Corporation. Who is eligible to serve in AmeriCorps? Citizens and legal resident aliens aged seventeen years or older-sixteen in the case of programs targeted for out-of-school youths-may serveinAmeriCorps before, during, or after post-secondary education In general, participants must be highschool graduates or agree to achieve their GED prior to receiving education awards. While there is a focus on young people, the Corporation will encourage participation by Americans of all ages, genders, incomes, races, regions, and religions and include individuals with disabilities. How will AmeriCorps participants be selected ? Programs approved by the Corporation or a state commission will select service participants on a non-discriminatory and non-political basis. To ensure that knowledge of programs is widely available, the Corporation will develop national and state recruiting1nformationsystems. There will also be a national pool from which programs may draw potential participants. How will AmeriCorps participants be compensated? Participants will receive a stipend during their term of service. Full-time participants not otherwise covered will receive basic health insurance and may receive a child care allowance if they need it to participate. For one year of full-time or two years of part-time service in a designated national service program, participants will also receive $4,725 as an education award and repayment of any interest on student loans during their service. These awards may be used to pay for higher education or for vocational training. Awards must be used within seven years of completion of service. For those participants who have outstanding loan obligations for qualified educational activities, the postservice educational awards may be paid directly to the lender. How long is a term of service under AmeriCorps ? The program requires a commitment intensive in hours but limited in years. Participants can perform a 1,700 hour full-time term over nine months to a year, or a part-time term of 900 hours over one to two years (or one to three years in the case of full-time college students). When will the Corporation for National and Community Service begin processing applications for AmeriCorps programs? The Corporation will be launched in October 1993. Regulations and appointments will be formalized during the remainder of the calendar year. The projected grant process will begin in early 1994, with programs selected for funding announced as early as the spring and summer of 1994. + �= = The Corporation for National and Community Service will provide followup technical assistance through scheduled telephone conference calls.

Needs and • Goals and Objectjyes Demo~:raphi¢s Prior to the passage of the National and Community Service Trust Act of 1993, the Michigan Community Service Commission (MCSC) was clear in its mission to promote community service as a way of life for all citizens regardless of age, race, creed, religion, disability, or socioeconomic status. Our existing mission statement: "The mission of the Michigan Community Service Commission is to encourage community service and volunteerism as a means of community and state problem solving, and to promote and support voluntary involvement in government and private programs throughout the state." We believe this is a worthy mission and one that should continue to be promoted in the state. This all inclusive philosophy has been echoed in the language of the National and Community Service Trust Act of 1993. It is essential that Michigan continue to embrace the philosophical and visionary intent of the Act Governor Engler in his 1994 State of the State Message outlined the four cornerstones needed to strengthen the foundation to attain his goal that all our families, and resultingly our communities, will be strong --- good jobs so families can support themselves and achieve their dreams; great schools so our children can learn the skills they need to work and succeed in the 21st century; safe homes, neighborhoods, and schools, so our families and our children can be free from crime and the fear of violence; and a better quality of life, so every family can have quality health care and live in a clean environment. For three years the Governor has been taking bold action to set these cornerstones firmly in place. Our challenge is to continue building upon this solid foundation. The initiatives undertaken through the efforts of our citizens to give of themselves to others through critically needed community service will assure that continuing progress is made to achieve 1 �our vision. To accomplish this, the following goals have been established, as indicated in our State Plan, to impact our citizens, communities, and institutions: GOAL 1: CITIZEN IMPACT Encourage and enable persons from all walks of life and from all age groups to obtain access to constructive volunteer services. Service by citizens should be viewed as a rich resource in the rebuilding of our communities. We must reach out to and include all segments of the population to benefit the community for many years to come. We will strive to instill an ethic of citizenship- responsibility to the communityin our individuals, communities, and the state at large. We need to provide tools for citizens to move towards life-long service through the building of a comprehensive service continuum. We must continue to include youth as equals and team members in community collaboratives and view them as a precious resource. GOAL 2: COMMUNITY IMPACT Continue to create and build on existing community capacity. At the community level there is a need for increased community problem solving, greater participation from the community in local service programs and a higher level of collaboration between organizations. Community organizations must be aware of and knowledgeable about other programming efforts occurring to ensure cohesiveness of services. Service activities must continue to focus on solutions and activities which address the most critical issues affecting local communities, as identified and defined by local communities. GOAL 3: INSTITUTIONAL IMPACT Continue to build the existing communication and collaboration network. Communication and collaboration between public, private, and non-profit volunteer programs in the state, and between the state and the private sector's initiatives is essential to our efforts to meet the human, educational, environmental and public safety needs in 2 �Michigan. Collaboration was, and continues to be, a key element to the foundation and operation of the MCSC. The work and philosophy of the MCSC is grounded in the belief that inclusiveness and collaboration are essential to partnership-building and community buy-in and to the sustainability of high quality program initiatives. The programs and activities funded through the Learn and Serve Michigan- CBO initiative will complement our other programming efforts in an integrated manner and thereby move us to fulfilling our goals. Annual objectives specific to achieving the above-mentioned goals through service-learning programming follow. OBJECTIVE I; Increase the ayailability of seryice-learnine opportunities and proerammine. Year One; Four local programs will receive funding to undertake service-learning programming and funding will be provided to an additional two sites for capacity building activities throughout the year to prepare these applicants for potential funding awards in year two. Through a competitive process (detailed later in this narrative), the following programs have been preselected for funding awards. Also noted are the agencies the local recipients will partner with in their efforts: Operatine Awards 1) Northern Michigan Planned Parenthood Association Partners: Third Level Services for Youth, Grand Traverse Band of Ottawa and Chippewa Indians, Northwest Michigan Health Services, Migrant Health Programs, 2) Alpena Community College Partners: Community Foundation for Northeast Michigan, City of Alpena, Rotary Club of Alpena, Tendercare Alpena, Huron Humane Society, Alpena Public Schools 3) Kalamazoo Public Education Foundation 3 �Partners: Big Brothers/Big Sisters of Kalamazoo, Boys and Girls Club of Kalamazoo, Senior Services/ RSVP, Western Michigan University, Division of Minority Affairs!MLK Program, Lee Honors College/Student Volunteer Service, Kalamazoo Public Schools 4) Planned Parenthood Centers of West Michigan Partners: Grand Rapids Housing Commission, United Methodist Community House, Neighbors of Belknap Lookout, Southeast Economic Development, Butterworth Hospital Capacjty Buildin& Awards 1) Great Lakes Center for Independent Living Partners: Youth Volunteer Corps of Metropolitan Detroit, Michigan Rehabilitation Services, Michigan Commission for the Blind, New Center Lions Club, Wayne County lSD, Macomb County lSD, Oakland County lSD, Detroit Public Schools 2) Creston Neighborhood Association Partners: Grand Rapids Public Schools These programs will have a positive impact on citizens, communities, and institutions. The value of community service will be instilled in all involved. Participants' leadership skills and ability to work as a part of a team will be increased. Youth will gain greater insight into cultural differences and commonalities through the diversity of the participants in the program and in the communities where service will be performed. The self-worth and personal power of the youth will be increased as they set their own goals and make a difference in the lives of others in the community. Public speaking skills will be gained. Problem solving and the ability to reflect and analyze an experience will be learned. These programs expect 640 youth will participate in their programming during the initial year, providing over 20,000 hours of service. Three of these four programs will utilize mentoring and peer education approaches to impact on additional students and community members. The fourth 4 �program will use team project opportunities as their delivery strategy. Year Two: Learn and Serve Michigan - CBO funding will combine with matching resources to support the involvement of 1,250 youth in service-learning as follows: Contjnuatjon (undine for four "year one" proa:rams These programs will be expected to increase their participant enrollment levels by 20% and provide a 20% financial match to the program. Enrollment levels are expected to be approximately 750 youth. Proa:ram operatina= support for two "year one" capacity buildina= sites Program operating support is planned to be awarded to the two community based organizations funded for capacity building in "year one". This support will be matched at a 20% match level. It is anticipated that these programs will serve 200 youth. Proa:ram operatina= support for three new proa:rams A competitive process will be undertaken to select three new applicants for funding. This process will be the same as that taken to select "year one" program grantees. Based on the assumption that these three applicants will request the maximum grant award, it is anticipated that an additional 300 youth will be served. Capacity buildina= ~:rant to one community As in "year one", a capacity building grant will be awarded to one community to positively impact on the community's ability to undertake programming efforts in the subsequent year. Year Three: Further expansion of the program to involve a total of 1,900 youth will occur through the following activities: Contjnuatjon fundjna= for "year one" and "year two" funded proa:rams Nine programs will receive fmancial support for program operations, matching these funds with a 30% contribution and accommodating a 20% growth rate. These programs will provide service-learning opportunities to approximately 1,500 participants. 5 �Proeram operatine support for "year two" capacity buildine site Operational funding is planned to be provided to the "year two" capacity building site. This program will target 100 participants. Proeram operatine support for three new proerams As in the prior two years, a competitive process will be undertaken to select new programs to be funded. Plans are to award funds to three community based organizations at the maximum funding level with these programs involving 300 participants. OBJECTIVE II: Create meanjneful volunteer seryjce opportunities Year One: Encourage communities to strike a balance between participant learning outcomes and meeting community needs. In concert with the Michigan Youth Progressive Action Council (a standing committee of the MCSC representing youth), identify best practice initiatives and disseminate to local entities. Convene a statewide conference to increase local citizens' knowledge, and in turn local capacity, in the undertaking of constructive service activities. Year Two: Utilizing this newly developed local capacity, develop and implement customized strategies in four communities to ensure meaningful service opportunities will be created. Individuals who participated in "year one's" capacity building effort will be expected to serve as a lead local resource in this endeavor, working with MYPAC members. Year Three: Working towards institutionalization, an additional 3-5 communities will develop and implement customized community-based strategies to ensure high quality service activities are undertaken when meeting unmet community needs. • Needs In October, 1993, the MCSC convened the Michigan Steering Committee on the National Service Trust Act of 1993. This broad-based group (see Appendix A for participating organizations) was established to assist the state commission in continually setting the future vision for the state and to 6 �aid in developing the state's application to the Corporation. Through the work of the Steering Committee, on February 23, 1994 a statewide satellite videoconference, "National Service: Michigan's Call to Action" occurred. The satellite videoconference provided a vehicle to solicit input from local citizens in defining the needs of their communities and the responses to those needs that best fit their local conditions. This forum also served to initialize or strengthen community collaborations for future action around community service. Over 350 committed individuals participated including community based organizations, school administrators, college and university staff and faculty, staff or volunteers associated with community foundations, local government representatives, labor and business representatives, youth, parents, adult volunteers, seniors and those individuals working with senior programs, persons with disabilities and those working with disabled individuals. Input was sought into defming for Michigan and its communities the pressing needs to be addressed through national and community service. Overall almost 20 communities were able to downlink for the teleconference and at least five others were able to view a videotape recording of the event. All of these communities were given the opportunity to submit needs assessments of their communities. Nine communities identified education as their most pressing concern. Subcategories included: literacy, after school programs, youth mentoring programs, computer literacy, and youth leadership skills development. Seven communities believed that public safety was paramount to meeting their community needs. These included communities from both the upper and lower Peninsula of Michigan. Elements of safety included: conflict resolution, crime prevention, community policing, substance abuse prevention, and youth violence. Thirteen communities throughout the state felt that human needs were most important. The various dimensions included: building family community centers, affordable housing, day care facilities, senior care and living programs, AIDS support mechanisms and counseling, single parent support services, long-term 7 �health care programs, mental health care programs, and transitional housing. Two communities, including one of the largest in the state, saw the environment as their greatest need. For the most part, neighborhood rehabilitation was their greatest concern. The results of the input received overwhelmingly supported the state's alignment with the national priorities established by the Corporation -- public safety, human needs, education and environmental issues. The Steering Committee concurred with the adoption of the national priorities as state priorities in Michigan, as did members of the MCSC. Of the four programs recommended for Learn and Serve Michigan - CBO funding, all will address human needs and educational issues. In identifying their priority need areas for projects, communities utilized youth input in their decision making process. The priority need areas will be continually revisited by communities as youth and community leaders reassess and/or refocus their service resources to ensure that community needs are best being met. Youth will explore options, think critically, work cooperatively, and related to peers as individual service projects are defined. • Demoa=rapbjcs As reflected in our mission statement, MCSC is committed to promoting community service as a way of life for all citizens regardless of age, race, creed, religion, disability, or socioeconomic status. This all inclusive philosophy has been integrated into local programming efforts statewide. Diversity that reflects the community as a whole and fosters understanding and development among residents is important to the success of our service programs. The four communities preselected for funding have made a commitment to participant diversity and will undertake outreach strategies to ensure the composition of the program is closely aligned to 8 �that of the community. Across the four programs, goals are for nearly 60% of the participants to be economically disadvantaged and over 60% to be from an ethnic group other than white. One program serves a rural area, one focuses on an urban setting, while the remaining two service areas are a combination of rural and urban localities. II. DesiJm and Actjyitjes • Process As mentioned previously, on February 23, 1994 a statewide satellite videoconference, "National Service: Michigan's Call to Action", was held. Over 350 individuals statewide participated to provide input into defining the future of service in Michigan, as well as the pressing needs to be addressed. To supplement this base, members of the Michigan Steering Committee on the National Service Trust Act of 1993 (see Appendix A for membership) were requested to submit a concept paper delineating their perspective on the future of service. The concepts gleaned from these activities were compiled in the state plan by State Commission staff, including the Points of Light Youth Engaged in Service Ambassador and the Title D Michigan CARES director. Input on the draft state plan was solicited from members of the Steering Committee and members of the Executive Committee of the MCSC. Revisions were incorporated and all members of the MCSC received a copy for input. The Learn and Serve Michigan - CBO plan was approved by the full Commission on May 20, 1994. • Proa:ram Types Three of the four program to be funded employ peer education and mentoring as the strategy to deliver education and address human needs. The fourth will use teams of students on group projects to address community needs. Essential to programs' success is a sound plan for supervision, training of staff and participants, and program structure. All programs will provide 9 �for sufficient supervision to ensure a quality learning experience and service opportunity. Each program will be governed by a local advisory council. A typical staffmg pattern includes the following functions: program director, education coordinator, volunteer director, and team leader. Depending on program size, several staff may perform the same function. As stated earlier, a diverse mix of youth will participate in this worthwhile experience. Participants will be recruited through participating partner agencies, local public and private schools, local neighborhood associations and word of mouth referrals. Pre-service orientation sessions will be held for participants and staff. Topics to be covered include such topics as leadership and team skill building, self-esteem/confidence building activities, celebrating diversity, setting goals, critical thinking, decision-making, peer listening and conflict resolution. Intensive peer education training will be provided to youth serving in that capacity. Pre-service training for all grantees' staff will be held centrally by the MCSC (see Training and Technical Assistance for training offerings). Service activities will include tutoring to increase recipients' academic skills, development of informational materials and presentations around a pressing community need, community beautification and image enhancement to assist with local economic development efforts, training on drug and alcohol abuse, and education on abstinence and sexuality. Service activities will be geared toward empowering youth to take responsibility for their own choices and actions and show them how they can make a difference for others. Participants will regularly attend discussion and reflection sessions. These sessions will be supervised by program staff. Prior to the planned projects, youth will complete an agency description sheet delineating agency location, contact person, services provided and specific project 10 �activities. These sheets will guide the projects and provide a structured mechanism to facilitate reflection. Public speaking and news media interviews will be used to share participants' success stories. Exemplary service will be recognized in a variety of ways. Recognition activities include sweatshirts with a program logo for mentors and matching T-shirts for mentees, free tickets to community/school arts and athletic events to encourage participation, recognition dinners and appreciation ceremonies, letters and certificates of appreciation. • Selection A Request for Proposal was designed by staff of the MCSC, based on guidance from the Corporation. Michigan's existing infrastructure for service was tapped to create a mailing list for application packets. This ensured input from a wide diversity of organizations in the development of the distribution plan. Over 1,000 application packets were disseminated statewide. Responses to the issued RFPs were due to the State Commission on Aprill5. Eight responses were received for consideration. Individuals from various constituencies committed to volunteering their time to assist in performing a non-biased review of the Learn and Service MI - CB applications received for funding. Each individual signed a Conflict of Interest form verifying their impartiality in the rating process. Individuals included in the review of the proposals were: • two Commissioners from the Michigan Community Services Commission, • one representative from the private sector, • two representatives from the Council of Michigan Foundations, • one representative from the Michigan Youth Progressive Action Council, • two representatives from the Michigan Department of Education. These eight individuals reviewed all submitted proposals and since they represented diverse sectors a broad interpretation of the proposal was gleaned. 11 �Two two-hour orientation sessions for proposal reviewers were held. Reviewers were requested to attend one of the two sessions. Two sessions were held to accommodate the schedules of review team members to ensure attendance. These sessions were intended to remove, to the extent possible, the subjectivity of the review process by establishing a common baseline of knowledge and intent. At these sessions, reviewers were provided with a review panel packet, including the Request for Proposal application materials, review criteria, and review forms. Michigan's Principles for Seryice and the Wingspread Principles of Good Practice for Combinin& Service and Learnin& were also distributed. Each reviewer was also provided with insight into the vision and future for community service in the state. Proposals were initially reviewed internally by State Commission staff for completeness. This review entailed determining the inclusion of all required proposal components, such as signed title page, completed budget forms, narrative description of the proposed project, mission statement, assurances and certifications. Applications that were found to be complete were forwarded to members of the review teams on April 22. Review team members were provided with a proposal rating form package which specifically defined the rating criteria. Proposals were reviewed against the following criteria: A. Need 00%) Proposals were evaluated based on their ability to impact the community and participants, to clearly identify the community need to be addressed and define the target groups which will be affected. B. Or&anizational Capacity (30%> Proposals needed to provide an adequate infrastructure and capacity to support proposed activities. The applicant needed to describe a sound process for training, technical assistance, supervision, quality control, evaluation, administration and other key activities. 12 �C. Conce<pt and Desi~ <40%> Each applicant established goals and objectives that were to be appropriate and effective vehicles for promoting service-learning. The applicant's ability to provide for productive, meaningful educational experiences which incorporate service-learning methods was evaluated. D. Sustainability 00%) The program was also to have strong, broad-based partnerships and community support. Applicants were to provide evidence that financial resources were available to continue the Learn and Serve MI -CBO effort after the expiration of the grant. E. Innovation and Rej)licability 00%) Applicants were assessed based on their ability to assist others in learning from experience and replicating the program concept. Programs were expected to advance the service field by employing innovative approaches and program designs which could be replicated in other communities. Completed review forms were forwarded back to the State Commission office on April 27. On April 28, review results were compiled by Commission staff and prepared for dissemination and discussion by review team members. Team members attended a consensus scoring session on Apri129. At this session, team members discussed amongst themselves the merits of the proposals that were in their grouping for review. This activity served to provide a consensus rating of the proposals. These discussions were guided and recorded by a group facilitator. The group facilitators met prior to the consensus rating session to plan a uniform strategy for the input of comments and recording of information. This information will be used to provide feedback and technical assistance to those agencies who submitted a proposal. Programs are ready to begin operation in August 1994, or upon notification of a funding award. • Trainin& apd Techpjcal Assjstapce 13 �MCSC has fmnly believed that standards need to be established and enforced when promoting training and technical assistance. This is why the MCSC has been a partner in establishing a training council. This council, made up of youth development organizations, higher education institutions, service learning practioners and community foundations, is currently developing a multi-stage curriculum model in service learning training for beginners to experts. The goal is to not only ensure the quality and content of quality service learning training, but to disseminate the philosophy of meaningful service throughout the state education systems. MCSC has called upon this council to develop the training needs of community based programs receiving Learn and Serve Community Based funding. Elements to this training will include: • ensuring quality of experiences for participants and non-participant volunteers • partnership building for organizations and organizational leaders • community impact awareness • integration of service learning into the K-12 curriculum • principles of best practice One pre-service orientation and one post-service debriefing conference will be held for some staff, volunteers and community leaders involved with each program. These conferences will provide an opportunity for programs to network; coordinate similar or related activities; recognize outstanding members; collect technical information on service programs; offer evaluation and feedback information to MCSC; provide training to Learn and Serve Community Based grantees in service learning, collaboration and youth development. The post-service debriefing conference will also be used to provide information to current grantees concerning the application process for the up coming year. On going technical assistance will be provided to grantees through annual site visits to programs by 14 �an Outreach Coordinator and an Evaluation Monitor. These individuals will be responsible for the constant maintenance of the MCSC/grantee relationship. The Outreach Coordinator will aid programs in developing projects and partnerships to further the success of the program. The Evaluation Monitor will check the grantees for their efforts towards compliance with their contracts and collection of evaluation data. • Coordination As Michigan's overarching goals for service in the state guide all service streams, Learn and Serve Michigan - CBO programming will complement other service initiatives. The MCSC and Steering Committee will provide oversight to not only this programming effort but to all Corporationfunded efforts to ensure the highest level of coordination and integration of activities. The activities described in the state plan to achieve our goals support and enhance service-learning by increasing awareness of service opportunities, strengthening the quality of activities, establishing and building on community capacity and institutionalizing service in our state. As in the past, MCSC will convene meetings of all grantees funded with Corporation funds and serve as an information broker. Through these peer technical assistance sessions, experienced program operators will share their expertise and insight with newly funded organizations. Ample time will be devoted for informal networking across sites as MCSC realizes the value of this information exchange. A statewide directory, containing details of funded programs, will be produced by MCSC which will facilitate information exchange beyond that which occurs in the semi-annual sessions. Additionally, the MCSC will match new sites to existing sites with similar programming goals for peer technical assistance exchanges. MCSC will also serve as a clearinghouse for information on innovative approaches being undertaken. This information network will encompass all service streams. 15 �The school-based service learning application prepared by the Department of Education built upon the common vision and quality principles for service which guide all service programs within the state. The Department of Education solicited input from the Commission during the development of their application, and the MCSC did likewise, to ensure coordination of proposed activities. A reciprocal arrangement exists for the review and selection of applications submitted for funding across service streams to facilitate complementary funding awards. Technical assistance and training sessions for • Institutional and Personpel lpformatjop Since it's inception in 1991, the MCSC has administered in partnership with the state's Deparunent of Education and Michigan Campus Compact the ServeAmerica and Higher Education programs funded by the Commission on National and Community Service. This partnership has ensured the collaboration between all streams of service in the state and has provided for the involvement of the State Commission in the policy setting and administration of the programs. The MCSC has been and continues to be chaired by Michigan's First Lady Michelle Engler. Mrs. Engler serves as chair of the Commission due to her personal and professional interest in service. As an attorney, Mrs. Engler brings to the Commission a breadth of expertise and experience. Mrs. Engler believes in the power of Michigan citizens, through public service, to solve community problems. She is also involved in numerous initiatives which are an integral part of her mission to encourage community service and volunteerism. She is active in promoting an improved life for our citizens, thereby improving our communities and our state. Mr. Frank Dirks serves as Executive Director of the Commission, assuming the position in early May 1994. In this role, Mr. Dirks provides overall leadership and guidance to Michigan's service movement. Mr. Dirks brings a wide range of expertise and experience to the MCSC. Mr. Dirks 16 �provided intensive onsite consultation to our state in the initial development of the state commission. He has continually been involved in establishing quality programs in the state and brings to the state commission a valued national perspective on community service and service learning. Our state has been chosen as one of nine states to host a Points of Light Foundation Youth Engaged in Service Ambassador. This individual promotes service and service learning among youth in the state. A major focal point for the YES ambassador has been to include and highlight youth involvement in Commission decisions and initiatives. III. Quality Control and Eyaluatjon Process The MCSC will provide overall program management. MCSC's Outreach Coordinator will monitor the achievement of goals and objectives. Ongoing contact with local operators will occur through site visits, written communique, and telephone consultations. Progress reports will be requested from local grantees on a quarterly basis, with infonnal monitoring of progress occurring between these intervals. Monthly participant and imancial reports will be used to capture demographic information on participants and to monitor expenditure levels. The MCSC is housed within the Executive Office of the Michigan Jobs Commission (MJC), which is a state agency which administers a budget of just under $408 million for social and economic development programs. V arlo us offices within the MJC provide administrative support to the MCSC. Additionally, the Michigan Department of Labor's Office of Budget, Finance and Administrative Services performs fiscal functions. This integrated approach to program management has been in effect since initial National Commission on Community Service funding was received in the state. 17 �IV. Sustajpability Michigan's community service movement has been able to flourish due to the level of nonpartisan support continually exhibited in our state. State legislation is currently pending approval which will ensure the continuance of the MCSC and promote service in the state. Additionally, as outlined in our state plan, we are committed to the institutionalization of service in Michigan. We have pledged the permanent creation of a Coordinating Body for Service in our state. This entity will not be totally dependant upon state and federal funding. Relying on the expertise and resources of the MCSC's Standing Committee on Fund Development, efforts will be made to create a permanent endowment to fund and support Commission initiatives. Two major Michigan-based foundations actively support community service and youth volunteerism. Many efforts funded by the W.K. Kellogg Foundation, such as the National Youth Leadership Council's National Service-Learning Initiative, Michigan-12 Service-Learning Center, Michigan Into the Street, the Michigan Nonprofit Forum, and Youth Service America's Youth Volunteer corps of America, will build expertise and long-standing structure to spread and carry on the youth community service movement By supporting development of programs aimed at at-risk youth, community education, and intergenerational and mentoring programs, the Mott Foundation has also played a major role in promoting efforts which service youth or provide youth with service opportunities. Continued human and financial resources will be available to local communities through the Michigan Community Foundation Youth Project of the Council of Michigan Foundations. This five-year project (1991-1996) results from a $35 million commitment from the Kellogg Foundation and a companion grant from the Mott Foundation to help the Council's community foundation members establish permanent and growing funds within each community to meet urgent local youth needs and provide community service opportunities. 18 �V. Innovation and Replicability All participating agencies have committed to assisting with the replication of their innovative programs in other interested communities. Materials and information to be shared include successful strategies for youth recruitment, retainment, promotion, program design, and budgeting. Strategies to ensure a quality service experience through the use of service-learning will also be highlighted. This program information will be compiled in a directory and disseminated at the all grantee technical assistance sessions and through mailings to all grantees. Initial year grantees will be requested to provide peer technical assistance to future year grantees. This will facilitate the sharing of "lessons learned" across agencies in the state and across service streams. The "lessons learned" will be compiled in the resource directory. To promote coordination, MCSC will match new sites to existing sites with similar programming goals for peerr technical assistance exchanges. 19 �AMERICORPS REVIEW PANEL LEARN & SERVE CBO REVIEW PANEL Team One- Janice Lone Team One- Kyle Coldwell 1.

STATE PLAN NARRATIVE a) VISION. PLAN AND PRIORITIES • Yisjop apd Plap Governor Engler in his 1994 State of the State Message outlined the four cornerstones needed to strengthen the foundation to attain his goal that all our families, and resultingly our communities, will be strong ---- good jobs so families can support themselves and achieve their dreams; great schools so our children can learn the skills they need to work and succeed in the 21st century; safe homes, neighborhoods, and schools, so our families and our children can be free from crime and the fear of violence; and a better quality of life, so every family can have quality health care and live in a clean environment. For three years the Governor has been taking bold action to set these cornerstones firmly in place. To ensure sustainability, the Governor has created a $20 million endowment to fund the Michigan Civilian Conservation Corps. This will ensure that service and education of youth are established so that the chance to learn job skills while working to improve and protect our parks, forests and streams. Our challenge is to continue building upon this solid foundation. The initiatives undertaken through the efforts of our citizens to give of themselves to others through critically needed community service will assure that continuing progress is made to achieve our vision. Prior to the passage of the National and Community Service Trust Act of 1993, the Michigan Community Service Commission (MCSC) was clear in its mission to promote community service as a way of life for all citizens regardless of age, race, creed, religion, disability, or socioeconomic status. Our existing mission statement: "The mission of the Michigan Community Service Commission is to encourage community service and volunteerism as a means of community and state problem solving, and to promote and support voluntary involvement in government and private programs throughout the state." 1 �We believe this is a worthy mission and one that should continue to be promoted in the state. This all inclusive philosophy has been echoed in the language of the National and Community Service Trust Act of 1993. It is essential that Michigan continue to embrace the philosophical and visionary intent of the Act To accomplish this, the following goals have been established to impact our citizens, communities, and institutions: GOAL 1: CITIZEN IMPACT Encourage and enable persons from all walks of life and from all age groups to obtain access to constructive volunteer services. Service by citizens should be viewed as a rich resource in the rebuilding of our communities. We must reach out to and include all segments of the population to benefit the community for many years to come. We will strive to instill an ethic of citizenship - responsibility to the community in our individuals, communities, and the state at large. We need to provide tools for citizens to move towards life-long service through the building of a comprehensive service continuum We must continue to include youth as equals and team members in community collaboratives and view them as a precious resource. GOAL 2: COMMUNITY IMPACT Continue to create and build on existing community capacity. At the community level there is a need for increased community problem solving, greater participation from the community in local service programs and a higher level of collaboration between local organizations. Community organizations must be aware of and knowledgeable about other programming efforts occurring to ensure cohesiveness of services. Service activities must continue to focus on solutions and activities which address the most critical issues affecting local communities, as identified and defined by local communities. GOAL 3: INSTITUTIONAL IMPACT Continue to build the existing communication and collaboration network. Communication and collaboration between public, private, and non-profit volunteer programs in the state, and between the state and the private sector's initiatives is essential to 2 �our effons to meet the human, educational, environmental and public safety needs in Michigan. Collaboration was, and continues to be, a key element to the foundation and operation of the MCSC. The work: and philosophy of the MCSC is grounded in the belief that inclusiveness and collaboration are essential to partnership-building and community buy-in and to the sustainability of high quality program initiatives. We must bridge the diversities across our citizens, communities and institutions to build a solid base of support for our service programs. We must saturate the state's geographically diverse 58,527 square miles with our vision in the hope that stereotypes will be dispelled and citizens will be engaged, communities will be strengthened and institutions will maximize resources when people of all kinds work together toward a common goal. In this world of the same old solutions to the same old problems, we have committed ourselves to taking a different path. We have taken to heart the notion that government must work in concert with education, business, community based organizations, philanthropy, religious organizations and most importantly our youth. The state has proved itself as a leader in the development of service programs and policy. Michigan is heralded as a state with a vast and integrated community service infrastructure and network. The funding of the AmeriCorps programs being requested will move us significantly forward in our quest to institutionalize service. Additional communities will be improving conditions for their residents through the efforts of their residents, new local collaborative partnerships will be formed, and a long lasting relationship will develop between local stakeholders and the MCSC and it's state level partners. • Prjoritjes In October, 1993, the MCSC convened the Michigan Steering Committee on the National Service Trust Act of 1993. This broad-based group (see Appendix A for participating organizations) was established to assist the state commission in continually setting the future vision for the state and to aid in developing the state's application to the Corporation. Through the work of the Steering 3 �Committee, on February 23, 1994 a statewide satellite videoconference, "National Service: Michigan's Call to Action" occurred. The satellite videoconference provided a vehicle to solicit input from local citizens in defining the needs of their communities and the responses to those needs that best fit their local conditions. The overarching goal of this initiative was to involve a broad group in establishing future direction and priorities for community service in the state and to determine the community-identified needs in our state. This forum also served to initialize or strengthen community collaborations for future action around community service. Over 350 committed individuals participated including community based organizations, school administrators, college and university staff and faculty, staff or volunteers associated with community foundations, local government representatives, labor and business representatives, youth, parents, adult volunteers, seniors and those individuals working with senior programs, persons with disabilities and those working with disabled individuals. Input was sought into defining for Michigan and its communities the pressing needs to be addressed through national and community service. Overall almost 20 communities were able to downlink for the teleconference and at least five others were able to view a videotape recording of the event. All of these communities were given the opportunity to submit needs assessments of their communities. Nine communities identified education as their most pressing concern. Subcategories included: literacy, after school programs, youth mentoring programs, computer literacy, and youth leadership skills development. Seven communities believed that public safety was paramount to meeting their community needs. These included communities from both the upper and lower Peninsula of Michigan. Elements of safety included: conflict resolution, crime prevention, community policing, substance abuse prevention, and youth violence. 4 �Thirteen communities throughout the state felt that human needs were most important. The various dimensions included: building family community centers, affordable housing, day care facilities, senior care and living programs, AIDS support mechanisms and counseling, single parent support services, long-term health care programs, mental health care programs, and transitional housing. Two communities, including one of the largest in the state, saw the environment as their greatest need. For the most part, neighborhood rehabilitation was their greatest concern. The results of the input received overwhelmingly supported the state's alignment with the national priorities established by the Corporation -- public safety, human needs, education and environmental issues. The Steering Committee concurred with the adoption of the national priorities as state priorities in Michigan, as did members of the MCSC. Of the programs recommended for AmeriCorps funding, seven will address human needs, educational issues will be the priority of nine communities, three will focus on public safety, and four will undertake activities related to the environment. Several of the above-referenced programs will address more than one priority need area. Three localities will perform service functions which address all four priority need areas. b) STRATEGY • Backa:round Informatjon In October 1991, the MCSC was officially created by Governor John Engler through Executive Order 1991-25. With the establishment of a state commission by executive order in 1991, Michigan asserted itself as a leader in the community service arena. On December 9, 1993 Governor Engler enacted Executive Order 1993-24 which reconstituted the composition of the Commission and delineated that the Commission shall function indefmitely. Five Standing Committees of the Commission have been established to ensure focused, continuing attention to priority areas -- Michigan Youth Progressive Action Council (MYPAC), Fund Development, Recognition, Community Collaboration and Evaluation. 5 �Early during the initial stages of the reformation of Michigan's service movement, a need was identified to establish the foundation for a strong community service movement in the state and the mechanism to move service forward. As a result, input was sought by the MCSC from key individuals involved with community service at the state and local level. From this group, in May 1992, the elements thought to be integral to the development of a successful Michigan initiative were defined (see Appendix B). Subsequent to the identification of these essential elements, "The Michigan Principles for Service" were jointly developed by the MCSC and the Michigan Campus Compact in 1993. Since their development, these principles have guided the service movement in the state (see Appendix B). MCSC has been a key partner in numerous non-Corporation funded initiatives, both within and outside the state. Contained in Appendix C is a sampling of non-Corporation funded initiatives occurring in Michigan in which MCSC is a partner. Through a major undertaking this past year, MCSC secured private sector funding to create a statewide recognition program. Michigan held the first annual Governor's Community Service Awards ceremony to recognize those individuals, groups, families, and businesses that have made great strides in their communities. Over 200 nominations were received with 45 individuals and/or organizations being honored at a special recognition program. • State Stratee;y Michigan's service movement strives to institutionalize service as a component of the daily lives of all citizens. The future direction of service requires the continued development of the structures which will support service now and into the future. We will strive to stimulate the ethic of service in our state among all citizens. Strategies to accomplish this mission include the following: GOAL 1: CITIZEN IMPACT Encourage and enable persons from all walks of life and from all age groups to obtain access to constructive volunteer services. 6 �Strateey I; Increase Awareness of apd Opportupities for Seryjce Year Ope: Inventory existing community resources and initiatives. Develop a statewide resource directory for local organizations to use for the referral of individuals to service opportunities. Continue to partner with the Campaign for Volunteerism in their media efforts to raise awareness regarding the benefits of service and opportunities to serve. Year Iwo: Create a campaign to emphasize the value of the individual, family, and the community, including impacting on the way mass media views critical societal issues. Through this campaign, new perceptions will be molded to change the view of youth as recipients of service to youth as an integral component to the solution of community and societal problems. Data and information will be gathered and disseminated about social problems and their root causes to increase public awareness. A generic brochure will be developed to use to increase access to and awareness of service opportunities. Citizens will be able to articulate where community resources are housed and how to seek out service opportunities. Year Three: Subsequent to increasing awareness, develop a service continuum to enable individuals to serve throughout their lifetime. A collaborative approach to service versus the component approach, whereby programs involve a population segment, e.g. youth, seniors, etc., will be promoted. lntergenerationallearning and understanding will be used to build a cohesive sense of civic responsibility. Strateey U: Create meaoioeful yolupteer seryjce opportunities Year Ope: Encourage communities to strike a balance between participant learning outcomes and meeting community needs. In concert with the MYPAC, identify best practice initiatives and disseminate to local entities. Convene a statewide conference to increase local citizens' knowledge, and in turn local capacity, in the undertaking of constructive service activities. Year Two: Utilizing this newly developed local capacity, develop and implement customized strategies in four communities to ensure meaningful service opportunities will 7 �be created. Individuals who participated in year one's capacity building effort will be expected to serve as a lead local resource in this endeavor, working with MYPAC members. Year Three: Working towards institutionalization, an additional 3-5 communitie·s will develop and implement customized community-based strategies to ensure high quality service activities are undertaken when meeting unmet community needs. GOAL 2: COMMUNITY IMPACT Continue to create and build on existing community capacity. Year One: Inventory statewide existing service resources and initiatives. Efforts will utilize existing community needs assessments to establish a baseline from which to move forward. In seven communities, a broad-based group will further defme the communities' needs and strategize regarding future direction, thereby prompting a community vision from the community. Key community leaders will be utilized in the identification of other local stakeholders to be involved in the development of a plan for community collaboration. Further, an examination of the root causes of the identified community issues will be undertaken to prevent cyclical occurrence of the social problems. Year Two: Provide technical assistance and training to expand collaboration among service agencies in the seven communities. MCSC's Outreach Director will guide the collaboration process. Additionally, MCSC' s Standing Committee on Collaboration will provide oversight and serve as a resource to community partners regarding "model" initiatives within and outside the state. A category ~ognizing exemplary community collaboratives will be added to the Governor's community service recognition awards program. Local collaboration agreements will be executed. Year Three: Through the collaboration which was put in place during year two, communities will define their customized approaches to solving the problems of their communities and for moving service forward. Implementation of the locally-developed plan will occur with a high level of participation of all stakeholders. 8 �GOAL 3: INSTITUTIONAL IMPACT Continue to build the existing communication and collaboration network. Year One: MCSC will continue to seek the input of key players in Michigan's community service arena for resource sharing, idea generation, guidance and focus. The Michigan Steering Committee will continue to be utilized to ensure the existing communication and collaboration efforts continue. A formalized collaborative agreement between members of the Steering Committee will be executed. Year Two: MCSC will facilitate the establishment of a formal statewide communications network between partner organizations. Advanced technology will be used to further spread the word on effective service practice and service opportunities, i.e. computer networks, mass media, telecommunications. Michigan's statewide resource directory will be maintained through a computer network and updated continually by local service- providing organizations. Year Three: A Coordinating Body for Service in our state will be permanently established. This entity will not be totally dependent upon state and federal funding. Relying on the expertise and resources of the Standing Committee on Fund Development, efforts will be made to create a permanent endowment to fund and support Commission initiatives. • Coordjnatjop As in the past, MCSC will convene meetings of all grantees funded with Corporation funds and serve as an information broker. Through these peer technical assistance sessions, experienced program operators will share their expertise and insight with newly funded organizations. Ample time will be devoted for informal networking across sites as MCSC realizes the value of this information exchange. A statewide directory, containing details of funded programs, will be produced by MCSC which will facilitate information exchange beyond that which occurs in the semi-annual sessions. Additionally, the MCSC will match new sites to existing sites with similar programming goals for peer technical assistance exchanges. MCSC will also serve as a 9 �clearinghouse for information on innovative approaches being undertaken. This information network will encompass all service streams. Michigan has recognized the importance of a partnership between the Department of Education and the MCSC since the inception of the MCSC. The Department of Education was formally invited to be an ex-officio member of the MCSC prior to their membership becoming a Corporation requirement. This arrangement provided a mechanism for frequent and regular input into MCSC activities and promoted coordination of planning and program operation across the service streams. This relationship has proved to be extremely critical to our collaboration efforts, therefore MCSC will provide fmancial support to the Department of Education to facilitate a full-time position being devoted to community service and service-learning. The school-based service learning application prepared by the Department of Education built upon the common vision and quality principles for service which guide all service programs within the state. The Department of Education solicited input from the Commission during the development of their application to ensure coordination of proposed activities. A reciprocal arrangement exists for the review and selection of applications submitted for funding across service streams to facilitate complementary funding awards. The Michigan Campus Compact (representing higher education institutions) also serves on the MCSC and both entities serve on the MCSC's Steering Committee on the National Service Trust Act of 1993. Through these structures both sectors have been intimately involved with setting future direction and policy for the state. A key activity, undertaken with the involvement of the K12 Service Learning Clearinghouse, has been to strategize for K-16 program coordination. These partners have been instrumental in establishing and strengthening the infrastructure for service in the state. 10 �• Support Michigan's community service movement has been able to flomish due to the level of nonpartisan support continually exhibited in our state. Language in the governing Executive Order creating the MCSC explicitly states that the composition of the MCSC shall be nonpartisan. To compliment this, legislation was enacted in May, 1994 to ensure the continuance of the MCSC and promote service in the state. State cash and in-kind resources have also historically supported Michigan's efforts. In the previous two years, over $300,000 in state resources has been used to expand the infrastructure for service in Michigan. For the current fiscal year, over $150,000 in state funding has been dedicated to the MCSC. In-kind contributions coupled with the state funding assists the Commission in performing its functions. Michigan has historically drawn upon many sources for financial and in-kind resources for service initiatives. To support Michigan's AmeriCorps programming, the Skillman Foundation announced the availability of funding to support local organizations from Macomb, Oakland, and Wayne counties which were applying for AmeriCorps monies. The Foundation is making available all or part of the required 15 percent cash match for living and health care expenses for AmeriCorps grantee organizations. This support may enable communities with limited financial resources but a strong commitment to service to be able to launch a service program and pursue the development and implementation of a plan for sustainability over a longer period of time. • Development Process As referenced earlier, on February 23, 1994 a statewide satellite videoconference, "National Service: Michigan's Call to Action", was held. This event was intended to provide a forum for broad input into the establishment of future direction and priorities for service in Michigan. Input from this event formed a foundation for the development of the state plan. To supplement this base, members of the Michigan Steering Committee (see Appendix B for member organizations) 11 �on the National Service Trust Act of 1993 were requested to submit a concept paper delineating their perspective on the future of service. The concepts gleaned from these activities were compiled in the state plan by MCSC staff, including the Points of Light YES Ambassador and state director of the TitleD Michigan CARES project. Input on the draft state plan was solicited from members of the Steering Committee and the Executive Committee of the MCSC. Revisions were incorporated and all members of·the MCSC received a copy for input. The state plan was approved by the full Commission on May 20, 1994. c) INSTITUTIONAL INFORMATION • Institutjooal Capacjty Continuing efforts undertaken recently on the part of the Commission to guarantee Michigan, s current leadership role in the service arena are listed below. The MCSC: • secured $1.6 million dollars in federal monies for the funding of youth, community, education and corps community service initiatives and convene the service streams together to facilitate collaboration and networking amongst streams as well as communities; • 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) which serves to represent youth in the State of Michigan; 12 �• has secured a Youth Engaged in Service (YES) Ambassador which serves to assist youth servicing agencies and schools in integrating Service Learning and community service into curriculums, projects and strategic planning processes; and, • participates in the Multi State Interactive Work Group with Kansas, illinois, Ohio, and West Virginia to examine national service policy in order to make recommendations and formulate stronger state policy. Since it's inception in 1991, the MCSC has been and continues to be chaired by Michigan's First Lady Michelle Engler. Mrs. Engler serves as chair of the MCSC due to her personal and professional interest in service. As an attorney, Mrs. Engler brings to the MCSC a breadth of expertise and experience. Mrs. Engler believes in the power of Michigan citizens, through public service, to solve community problems. She is also involved in numerous initiatives which are an integral part of her mission to encourage community service and volunteerism. She is active in promoting an improved life for our citizens, thereby improving our communities and our state. Mr. Frank Dirks serves as Executive Director of the MCSC, assuming the position in early May 1994. In this role, Mr. Dirks provides overall leadership and guidance to Michigan's service movement. Mr. Dirks brings a wide range of expertise and experience to the MCSC office. Mr. Dirks provided intensive onsite consultation to our state in the initial development of the state commission. He has continually been involved in establishing quality programs in the state and brings to the state commission a valued national perspective on community service and service learning. The MCSC is housed within the Executive Office of the Michigan Jobs Commission (MJC) which provides administrative support, while the Michigan Department of Labor's Office of Budget, Finance and Administrative Services performs fiscal functions. This integrated approach to program management has been in effect since initial National Commission on Community Service funding was received in the state. 13 �The MJC is a state agency which administers a budget of just under $408 million for social and economic development programs. Contract management staff will negotiate, execute and monitor contracts to local subgrantees. Participant reporting and data collection staff will be assigned to capture demographic information on participants and prepare participant management reJx>rts. MJC administers, among other programs, the Community Services Block Grant program, and thereby statutorily oversees the Community Action Agencies. Financial reporting and expenditure tracking and monitoring will be undertaken by the Michigan Department of Labor's Office of Budget, Finance and Administrative Services. This office serves as fiduciary for many of the Michigan Jobs Commission's program funds, including all previous funding received from the Commission on National and Community Service. 14 �APPENDIX A Steerini Committee Aeencies ACTION Council of Michigan Foundations Detroit Youth Volunteer Corps Governmental Relations, Michigan State University Michigan Campus Compact Michigan Community Action Agency Michigan Community Service Commission Michigan Department of Education Michigan Developmental Disabilities Council Michigan Non Profit Office of Services to the Aging United Way of Michigan W.K. Kellogg Foundation �APPENDIX .B The Essential Elements of Service * 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 built on existing resources and strengths. The business community must be involved. * A statewide training capacity in the best practices for youth seiVice programs must be developed. * A comprehensive and coordinated statewide information clearinghouse for programs, organizations, and existing resources must be developed. * Sufficient rewards, incentives and recognition to promote seiVice should be developed. * The Michi~ait Principles for Service 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. �APPENDIXC Injtiatiyes Operatin& in Mjchjpp pot Euoded by CNCS • collaborated with organizations to promote service learning initiatives. The MCSC was a co-sponsor along with the Michigan Department of Education in the state-wide servicelearning conference. The MCSC participated in two regional service learning conferences affecting the Northwestern and Southeastern sections of Michigan. • created a state-wide recognition program. Michigan held the Governor's and MCSC's Community Service Awards recognizing those individuals, groups, families, and businesses that have made great strides in their communities. • partner in refonning education with an eye toward integration of service learning.

I. STATE SELECTION NARRATivE A• Application Outreach The Request for Proposal was designed by staff of the Michigan Community Service Commission (MCSC), based on guidance from the Corporation. Michigan's existing infrastructure for service was tapped to create an initial mailing list for application packets. To broaden further our outreach efforts, MCSC presented information on the National Service Trust Act at various conferences and meetings as follows: • February 14, 1994: Presentation to 25 persons from the State Association of Municipal Governments; • February 22, 1994: Presented to a focus group of 30 individuals from various organizations in Wayne County; • February 23, 1994: Presentation to statewide meeting of the Community Action Agency directors; • February 28, 1994: Morning presentation to a focus group from Oakland County comprised of 31 individuals, and an afternoon presentation to 25 Detroit-based organizations; • March 1, 1994: Presentation to twenty individuals at the Eldercare Coalition conference in Flint; • March 2, 1994: Provided technical assistance on AmeriCorps to 30 individuals in Detroit; • March 3, 1994: Provided technical assistance on AmeriCorps to 25 persons in Lansing; • March 4, 1994: Presented at the University of Michigan's Higher Education Conference on Service Learning to 40 individuals; and • March 9, 1994: Presentation in Detroit to 40 local mayors and community based organizations. Due to this extensive outreach campaign, over 1,600 application packets were disseminated 1 �statewide. A mass mailing was sent to such networks as: • Youth Volunteer Corps • Full Time Corps Programs • Local Community Foundations • Employment and Training Agencies • Community Action Agencies • United Way Agencies • Michigan State University's Cooperative Extension Offices • Aging Agencies • Higher Education Institutions • K-12 Educational Entities • Existing Grantees of the MCSC In addition, several technical assistance sessions were convened to provide further clarification on the application requirements. Technical assistance sessions (in addition to those noted above) were convened in Lansing, Detroit Metropolitan area, and Muskegon, with over 300 individuals participating. These sessions prompted requests for application materials. Further, individual requests were responded to by MCSC staff. Approximately 300 telephone inquiries were responded to by MCSC staff. We believe that these activities, in sum, ensured broad participation in and fair access to the grant application process. B• Reyjew and Selection Process Responses to the issued Request for Proposals were due to the State Commission on April15. Forty-five responses were received for consideration. 2 �.. Sixteen individuals committed to volunteering their time to assist in performing a non-biased review of the AmeriCorps applications received for funding. Each individual signed a Conflict of Interest form verifying their impartiality in the rating process. Individuals on the review teams included: • Michigan's First Lady who chairs the Michigan Community Service Commission, • four Commissioners from the MCSC, • three representatives from the private sector, • a representative from the W. K Kellogg Foundation, • a representative from the Mott Foundation, • one representative from the Michigan Youth Progressive Action Council, • one representative from a higher education institution, • two representatives from the evaluation ftrm conducting the independent evaluation of the state's community service programs, • one representative from the Michigan Jobs Commission (state agency), and • one student intern in the State Commission office. These individuals comprised five teams for the review of proposals. Each team was composed of representatives from diverse sectors to ensure a broader interpretation of the proposal. Two two-hour orientation sessions for proposal reviewers were held, one on April 11 and the second on April 22. Reviewers were requested to attend one of the two sessions. Two sessions were held to accommodate the schedules of review team members to ensure attendance. These sessions were intended to remove, to the extent possible, the subjectivity of the review process by establishing a common baseline of knowledge and intent. In addition, to further validate the scoring process, one proposal was rated by all reviewers to provide an indication of scoring patterns. At these sessions, reviewers were provided with a review panel packet, including the 3 �Request for Proposal application materials, review criteria, and review forms. Michigan's Principles for Seryjce and the Wingspread Principles of Good Practice for Combinin~ Service and Learnin~ were also distributed. Each reviewer was also provided with insight into the vision and future for community service in the state. Proposals were initially reviewed internally by State Commission staff for completeness. This review entailed determining the inclusion of all required proposal components, such as signed title page, completed budget forms, narrative description of the proposed project, mission statement, assurances and certifications. Proposals were also reviewed to detennine if the required matching funds were provided and at the stipulated percentages. Applications that were found to be complete were forwarded to members of the review teams on April22. The overall assessment to ensure that programs would meet the state's and Corporation's goal to impact communities and participants took into consideration: • the ability of the program to get things done through direct and demonstrable service in the priority need areas; • the capacity of the program to bring together both institutions and individuals to cooperate in making lasting and constructive change; and • the applicant's plan to develop leadership skills, foster active productive citizenship, and enhance educational opportunities for participants. More specifically, proposals were reviewed against the following criteria: A. Nee<i00%l Proposals were evaluated based on their ability to impact the community and participants. Applicants were requested to clearly identify the unmet needs to be addressed in their ·community. Further, applicants were to describe the extent of consultation with 4 �community residents and organizations. Reasonableness and the ability to deliver specified outcomes was also evaluated. B. StrenWtenin~ Communities (20%) Narrative in this section was to include how the applicant built local support for its program activities and engaged in a coordinated manner community residents and organizations in designing, implementing, and evaluating its program. Evidence of strong and effective partnerships with various sectors of the community that have committed technical expertise and/or resources in substantive program areas was also examined. Applicants were requested to develop and support common service activities, exchanges or gatherings with other service programs that include participants from different backgrounds. Applicants were to build upon existing programs without duplicating efforts already in the community. Applications were evaluated in regard to their plan to include a diverse group of participants and staff from the community in which the program activities will be conducted and which community groups will be represented. c. Develo.pin~ Pariicipams <20%> The application was to discuss how the program will provide for the development of the ethics and skills needed for productive and active citizenship through meaningful service, education, and leadership activities. The plan to deliver effective and relevant training necessary for participants to perform the program activities was evaluated. Proposals were also reviewed based on their plan to provide support to participants which may require assistance completing the equivalent of a high school diploma and/or support with transition to other educational and career opportunities. 5 �D. Mission 00%) Emphasis in this section was placed on the applicant's possession of a clear program mission, reasonable objectives, and measurable indicators of success. E. Omanizarional CapacitY 00%) The applicant's ability to provide for quality control, monitoring, and evaluation or program activities, participant performance and overall program effectiveness was examined. The applicant's ability to conduct the fiscal affairs of the program was also factored into the rating. Applicant's had to detail staff qualifications and indicate they possessed a staff with demonstrated experience in operating programs similar to the one being proposed. F. Orientation and Irainin& 00%) This section evaluated the applicant's ability and plan to deliver appropriate orientation and training of staff and participants. Also reviewed was the applicant's plan to provide adequate supervision of program participants. G. Susta.inability (1 0%) Criteria used to evaluate the applicant's ability to sustain the program beyond the funding period included the inclusion of a budget which was consistent with the program design and activities, the exceeding of the required 15% match for living expenses and health care costs and the 25% match required for program operational costs. Applicant were also to provide evidence that they would financially sustain the program beyond the period of the Corporation support. The budget narrative needed to clearly describe the program costs and how they were calculated and was the budget reasonable given the identified program activities/goals. The ability of the applicant to provide rmancial and/or in-kind support 6 �from other community organizations and resources and the existence of relationships with the community and its organizations was evaluated. H. lnnoyation and Replicability 00%) The applicant's ability to incorporate innovative approaches to partnerships, program design and service which can advance knowledge about building effective community programs was assessed. An analysis was done of the program design in regards to its potential replication in other communities. I. Special Considerations Other factors that were taken into consideration when selecting programs to be recommended to the Corporation for funding were: • geographic diversity/geographic concentration to ensure equitable distribution of programs and funding throughout the state; and, • participant diversity to ensure equal access to programs by all population groups. Completed review forms were forwarded back to the State Commission office on April 27. On April 28, review results were compiled by Commission staff and prepared for dissemination to review team members. Team members attended a consensus scoring session on April 29. At this session, team members discussed amongst themselves the merits of the proposals that were in their grouping for review. This activity served to provide a consensus rating of the proposals. These discussions were guided and recorded by a group facilitator. The group facilitators met prior to the consensus rating session to plan a uniform strategy for the input of comments and recording of information. This information will be used to provide feedback and technical assistance to those agencies who submitted a proposal. 7 �C• State Plap This section is to describe how the programs proposed for funding support the goals of the state. Will be completed after program selection. II.

A Division of the Michigan Jobs Commission Q' ~ �State Plan Narrative Vision, Priorities, and Plan As Michelle Engler, First Lady of Michigan and Chair of the Michigan Community Service Commission, brought the 14th meeting of the commission to a close on May 20, 1994, commissioners agreed that program sustainability is the greatest challenge facing national and community service in Michigan. Since its inception in September, 1991, the twenty-one member Michigan Community Service Commission (MCSC) has viewed sustainability as the principal challenge of the service field. Under the leadership of Ms. Engler, MCSC has consistently maintained that an effective and sustainable statewide service infrastructure rests on six pillars of practice: 1) building programs and expanding resources based on local community needs and interests; 2) enabling youth and community practitioners to be part of the program design and policy development process; 3) promoting diverse programs that are representative of their communities; 4) encouraging strong partnerships among the public, private, and nonprofit sectors; 5) developing a statewide information clearinghouse and a system for training in the best practices of service and service learning; and 6) enhancing service through rewards, incentives, and recognition. These six pillars of practice and the statewide infrastructure they seek to support have been and will remain at the core of Michigan's plan to achieve its vision for national and community service. The Michigan Vision, first conceived through a statewide planning process in 1991, is simple in its spirit yet ambitious in its aim; to enable all citizens, especially youth, to engage in public problemsolving through service and volunteerism. Michigan envisions diverse networks of skilled citizen 1 �volunteers supported by the public and private sectors working in their communities to confront today's problems and preparing to meet the unforseen challenges of tomorrow. Through the service of citizen problem-solvers Michigan will build communities of change and selfimprovement that are not dependent on support from any single source. Michigan expects to realize its vision by expanding program and service delivery capacity through diverse public and private collaboration within a state framework of shared standards and practices. The keystone in the Michigan Vision is MCSC. MCSC serves as a catalyst, convener, broker, and facilitator of projects, programs, networks, and new ideas. It has become the most visible symbol of Michigan's vision, in which the means are as important as the ends. MCSC's mandate, and its challenge, is to ensure continuity in the ongoing process of creating a sustainable system of service in Michigan. Sustainability requires a balance between needs-based service delivery and program infrastructure development. Program priorities based on a funder's definition of need create narrowly defmed programs dependent upon specific categories of funding. This dependence restricts flexible solutions to complicated community problems, constricts the flow of fresh ideas to established programs, and chokes off programs from the changing culture of communities. MCSC's formula for sustainability includes program flexibility, multiple funding sources, shared standards of practice, locally defmed priorities, and measurable outcomes. Michigan's priorities are grass-rooted; reflecting not only today's pressing community needs but also, and perhaps more importantly, its commitment to form and maintain a comprehensive system of community-based citizen problem-solving. The national priorities for service, established by the National and Community Service Trust Act of 1993 and specified by the Corporation for National and Community Service are consistent with Michigan's grass-roots approach. Education, Public Safety, Human Needs, and the Environment provide enough flexibility for most communities to embrace programs that would seek to address these important national priorities. Nevertheless, in 2 �order to ensure broad community acceptance of the national service priority areas MCSC initiated a statewide needs assessment process in late winter. On February 23, 1994, MCSC, in partnership with Michigan State University Extension, conducted via satellite a statewide video conference, "National Service: Michigan's Call to Action." The goals of the video teleconference were to involve a broad range of people in gathering information on community needs and establishing priorities for national and community service in Michigan. The video teleconference also served as a catalyst for the formation of community service partnerships. More than 350 people from 20 communities participated, including representatives from local government, labor, business, community-based organizations, senior programs, programs for the physically challenged, school teachers and administrators, college and university faculty, community foundation staff and volunteers, youth, parents, and adult volunte~rs. MCSC followed the video teleconference with a series of information gathering focus groups around the state. The result of this needs assessment process affirmed, according to the participants, the relevance of the federal priority areas in most of the state's communities, and confirmed MCSC's decision to adopt the national priorities for Michigan. Participants ranked in order of importance: 1. Human Needs, especially, family and single-parent support, affordable and transitional housing, senior care, AIDS counseling, and health and mental health care. 2. Education, especially, literacy, after-school programming, youth-mentoring, computer literacy, and youth leadership. 3. Public Safety, especially, conflict resolution, crime prevention, community policing, substance-abuse prevention, and youth violence. 4. Environment , especially, neighborhood rehabilitation. 3 �In a state that has often had its demographic diversity and its geographic size overlooked, local flexibility is essential for maintaining broad-based support for the state's service plan. Fourteen driving hours separate one of the nation's largest and most diverse metropolitan areas, Detroit, from the western Upper Peninsula town of Silver City with its relatively homogeneous population of 500. Accordingly, MCSC is forwarding to the Corporation, twelve AmeriCorps program proposals for consideration that represent diverse communities and a range of approaches to service in Michigan. The twelve proposals support MCSC's adopted priorities and its strategic goal to balance meeting immediate needs with developing a sustainable service program infrastructure. Eight of the proposed AmeriCorps programs concentrate on specific priority areas. Big Brothers and Big Sisters of Metropolitan Detroit and the American Youth Foundation (planning grant) address Health and Home. Eastern Michigan University and Central Michigan University take on School Readiness and Success. Oakland University and the United Way of Saginaw tackle Crime Prevention. While Michigan State University and the Michigan Department of Natural Resources work in the Natural and Neighborhood Environment. The remaining four program proposals are models of flexible community-based service delivery and integrated infrastructure development. The four programs will work through multiple program networks and service partnerships in each of their communities to provide comprehensive measurable services based on community needs. The United Way of Genesee County (Flint) is building its AmeriCorps program on the base provided by Flint's Youth Service Corps, a product of the Urban Corps Expansion Project, to integrate projects among community organizations serving all four priority areas. The Grand Rapids Service Corps, modeled after Boston's City Year program, is using its AmeriCorps program to match the substantial support its has raised locally to provide neighborhood service in the four priority areas. Both Flint and Genesee have previously received program development support and technical assistance from MCSC and are now positioned to begin their service projects 4 �immediately. The University of Michigan/Michigan Neighborhood Partnership program and the Wayne County Legal Services program are both new innovative models that build on substantial networks of existing community resources to provide services across the priority areas. The four programs provide a test for sustainability by virtue of their broad service delivery approach. MCSC will compare their effectiveness in generating non-federal support with the effectiveness of the eight priority specific programs to determine which general characteristics are more likely to lead to sustained community support and involvement MCSC also will use this information in its efforts to increase the number of sustainable quality AmeriCorps proposals from neighborhood and community-based agencies. Background Information In the late spring of 1991, the W.K. Kellogg Foundation awarded a grant to Youth Service America (YSA) for the purpose of facilitating the collaborative development of a comprehensive state plan for national and community service. Working in cooperation with the Michigan Campus Compact (MCC), the Council of Michigan Foundations (CMF), the Michigan Nonprofit Forum (MNF), and the Michigan Department of Education (MDE), YSA facilitated a planning conference for youth service policy in Michigan. The conference brought together more than 125 people from across Michigan representing young people, K-12 education, higher education, full and part-time service and volunteer corps programs, community based organizations, and state policy makers. The conference, and two subsequent planning meetings, crystallized interest in youth and community service, identified critical issues, and engaged participants in policy development As a result of this planning process and Ms. Engler's involvement in it, Governor John Engler established the Michigan Community Service Commission by executive order. The commission remains one of the country's most diverse and programmatically engaged. The commission hired Diana Algra to be its frrst executive director and secured two Points of Light Foundation Youth Engaged in Service (YES) Ambassadors (Cynthia Scherer and Trabian Shorters) to assist in 5 �coordinating commission activities. Michigan was one of four pilot states to receive YES Ambassadors, and it continues to serve as a national model for its utilization of YES Ambassadors for state service program capacity building. Since 1991 MCSC has: * Formed successful working partnerships with all of the major service and volunteer networks and organizations in the state. Through committee work, informal planning meetings, and the formal structure of the MCSC Steering Committee on National and Community Service (appendix B), MCSC has helped to foster and maintain the spirit of collaboration among the state's varied interests. * Coordinated, in partnership with MDE and MCC, the development of comprehensive state national and community service program applications in 1992 and 1993 that included K-12 age school and community-based programs, higher education programs, youth corps programs, and a national service demonstration program (Michigan CARES). In its first two years, MCSC with the help of its partners brought Michigan $2.9 million in suppon from the Commission on National and Community Service (CNCS). * Established the Michigan Youth Progressive Action Council (MYPAC), a standing committee of youth, ages 12-20, to coordinate policy as it relates to youth and advise on all matters before the commission. MYPAC, through MCSC, was awarded a Commission on National and Community Service "Youth Voice" grant in 1993 to increase youth involvement in planning for service through the development of community youth action councils. MYPAC, in partnership with MCSC, MCC, and CMF, produces a statewide newsletter for youth. MYPAC was recently featured in Who Cares magazine as an example of effective youth leadership development in the service field * Instituted, with private sector suppon, the "Governor and Michigan Community Service Commission Community Service Awards Program." In its first year the program received 6 �more than 200 nominations for special recognition. Forty-five individuals, groups, families, and/or businesses were honored for their service to their communities at an awards dinner hosted by the Governor and First Lady in March, 1994. * Developed state standards for service (see appendix C) based on the Winis.pread Principles for Good Practice for Combinini Service and Learnini and the Standards of Quality for School-based Service-Learnini from the Alliance for Service-Learning in Education Reform. The standards were developed in cooperation with MCC, MDE, CMF, the Michigan Service Learning Center, the Michigan Partnership for New Education, and school and community-based practitioners. * Secured, in partnership with CMF, a $500,000 grant from the W.K. Kellogg Foundation that will provide more than a two-to-one dollar match to CNCS support for the Michigan CARES National Service Demonstration program model. * Served as a principal partner in a coalition of CNCS funded states for the purpose of recommending policies for state implementation of national and community service programs. * Successfully sought passage of state legislation to establish MCSC by statute. Michigan House Bill5280 passed both houses with overwhelming bi-partisan support. * Won recognition as one of the leading states in the national and community service field in a CNCS sponsored national study conducted by Youth Service America. State Strategy Any fair enumeration of state successes must also come with a critical review of state weaknesses. The result of this critical review, along with AmeriCorps' new program development goals, will provide a baseline for measuring Michigan's progress in program and infrastructure development over the next three years. From the start, MCSC has set annual developmental objectives and has maintained methods for gathering information and formatively evaluating the effectiveness of its 7 �efforts. Standing committees of the commission, the Steering Committee, and ad hoc working groups gather and provide information that the staff analyzes and synthesizes for an annual progress report. In general, the state's weaknesses are limited public visibility, coupled with the need to coordinate and not overshadow or duplicate other volunteer initiatives; attrition of the state's key service advocates and practitioners coupled with the need to recruit and develop new leader practitioners and advocates; and the shallow footing of service in most communities coupled with the need to develop more community-based AmeriCorps programs in order to achieve sustainability through local institutionalization. This last point is revealed by the types of institutions that MCSC has recommended for Year One AmeriCorps funding. Most are large and many are universities. Given the limited time in the application process, it is understandable that mostly large institutions with their reasonably more accessible resources would succeed. However, Michigan must increase AmeriCorps program development among smaller, more localized community-based organizations, as well as intensify outreach to established poverty and aging programs. The Michigan plan for National and Community Service is relatively simple. MCSC will increase its public awareness activities, encourage innovative new service program development, identify at least five communities to serve as laboratories for state infrastructure development, and energetically evaluate and refine all of its activities. The five Lab Communities will be models of comprehensive, collaborative service program implementation. MCSC will concentrate its efforts on the five in order to reach a critical mass of local community-based service initiatives. MCSC will ensure that each lab develops a community plan that institutionalizes service, builds capacity, leverages resources, and coordinates Kindergarten through Retiree service and volunteerism. They will be the anchors of the Michigan plan. MCSC will use the Lab Communities as resources for programs in the surrounding regions, centers for peer technical assistance, and platforms from 8 �which to launch coordinated regional service initiatives. Two MCSC initiatives, along with AmeriCorps, are the keys to the successful development of the five Lab Communities: Michigan CARES and the MCSC Learn and Serve Community Based Program, Michigan Youth Serving Across Michigan (MYSAM). Michigan CARES is MCSC's subtitle D National Service Demonstration program, which recently received a $500,000 matching grant from the W. K. Kellogg Foundation. CNCS originally awarded MCSC a $225,000 planning and capacity building grant in 1993. Since then, MCSC refmed and revised the original program design, secured the matching grant, and sought and recieved CNCS' s approval of the modifications. Commencing in August 1994, MCSC will work in partnership with CMF to identify six communities through the community foundation network to implement a collaborative, community-based planning process for national and community service programs. Michigan CARES will support the local planning process and provide seed support for a program that complements or enhances national and community service and service learning. Each Michigan CARES community will (1) conduct and/or draw upon an existing community needs and resource assessment; (2) establish a comprehensive strategic community service plan from kindergarten through retirement; (3) integrate the best practices of service-learning and youth development in all aspects of youth service; and (4) launch a sustainable model national and community youth service program that meets the goals of the community program and produces measurable results. MCSC and CMF will work jointly to provide technical assistance and training. MCSC will operate MYSAM (pending CNCS approval) in partnership with .MDE to ensure coordination in the selection of Learn and Serve community-based and school-based programs in order to provide the best opportunities for establishing quality school and community servicelearning partnerships. MYSAM will broaden opportunities for a diversity of K-12 age youth to become involved in service and community problem-solving by supporting community-based 9 �youth service programs that (1) provide peer support; (2) provide service to address visible community need; (3) increase youth participation and involvement in community service. MYSAM will support programs that are models of effective partnerships among schools and communitybased organizations. Collaboration is an essential element of effective service-learning (Wingspread Principles & ASLER Standards). Schoo]/community partnerships enable schools and community organizations to do what they do best while ensuring that youth participants benefit from a measure of continuity in their service and learning experiences. Collaboration not only enhances service learning practice, it also improves the chances of program institutionalization. MCSC will seek to foster MYSAM partnerships in Michigan CARES communities and work with MDE to coordinate school-based program grants with MYSAM and CARES. MCSC will also base consideration of MYSAM programs and CARES on the current status and future potential for AmeriCorps programs to be conducted in the community. Together, Michigan CARES, MYSAM, and AmeriCorps will provide the programmatic glue to bind the five lab communities. In turn, these five communities will anchor the continued development of the Michigan service infrastructure. Conceptually, MCSC's plan is organized around three broad goals that support its agenda and meets its developmental needs. Citizen Impact: Reaching more people with the service message in coordination with other initiatives and building a diverse statewide peer technical assistance network of skilled practitioners and committed service advocates. Community Impact: Expanding community-based service program capacity through facilitating local collaboration and developing five comprehensive Lab Communities. Institutional Impact: Enhancing service program network integration through generating project specific partnerships and stimulating new ideas for sustainable collaborative activities. Based on these goals, which fall under Michigan's overarching goal of program sustainability, MCSC has developed a three-year strategic plan that 10 �provides benchmarks to assess MCSC's continuing efforts to develop a sustainable infrastructure for national and community service. Year One • In partnership with the Steering Committee, conduct a comprehensive statewide inventory of Kindergarten-Retiree service and volunteer programs and practitioners. • Support Michigan Campaign for Volunteerism in its media campaign to increase awareness of volunteerism and work collaboratively to raise visibility of MCSC and its related activities. • Conduct a review workshop for AmeriCorps applicants not recommended by MCSC for funding. Establish a technical assistance and peer support process to strengthen these programs for future funding possibilities. • Seek foundation funding support for a targeted program development and technical assistance initiative targeted for small neighborhood and community-based organizations. • Convene a meeting of state grant makers representing state and local government, corporate foundations, philanthropic foundations, community foundations, and United Ways for the purpose of developing a state strategy paper on sustaining national and community service in Michigan. • Develop a senior volunteer position at MCSC to promote connections among senior volunteer and youth community service programs. • Launch, with private sector support, an MCSC logo and poster contest for elementary and middle school students. • Double the number of citizen respondents to the Community Service A wards Program and create AmeriCorps program and participant categories. • Select six communities for the Michigan Cares program and provide training and technical assistance for community-based planners. 11 �• Develop and implement a state model for AmeriCorps training and technical assistance. • Identify and recruit staff and volunteers from the AmeriCorps programs to serve as state peer technical assistance consultants. • Coordinate and consult with MDE on Learn and Serve America grant making. • In cooperation with the Michigan Service-Learning Council, develop common service learning training elements that can be shared among AmeriCorps, higher education, and Learn and Serve America programs. • Integrate where possible the MYPAC/CMF youth action council "Youth Voice" project with Michigan CARES communities. Year Two • In partnership with the Steering Committee and drawing on the results of the Year One inventory, identify, evaluate, and document model Kindergarten-Retiree service and volunteer programs and practitioners. • In cooperation with MYPAC and the Michigan Campaign for Volunteerism, develop a state recruitment campaign for AmeriCorps and youth service volunteers. • Facilitate the development of at least two quality AmeriCorps proposals from neighborhood and community-based organizations. • Develop, with private sector support, an MCSC state service newsletter. • Establish a Task Force on intergenerational service program development. • Establish a Task Force on developing model national and community service programs that link Community Action Programs, Area Agencies on Aging, Headstart, school-readiness, and school-to-work transition. • Produce and disseminate, with private sector support, MCSC posters for recruiting schoolage youth to participate in service and volunteer activities. • Double the number of citizen respondents to the Community Service Awards Program and 12 �create a category for model community service partnerships. • Identify the five strongest Michigan Cares communities to be Lab Communities for promoting continued community generated private sector support. • Based on practitioner critique, revise the state model for AmeriCorps training and technical assistance. • Integrate state peer technical assistance consultants into AmeriCorps training and program development • In partnership with MDE leverage at least one schoo1/community partnership by targeting school and CB Learn and Service grants. • Integrate AmeriCorps peer technical assistance consultants into Michigan Service·Learning Council and revise common training elements as needed. • Develop partnerships among community service youth action councils and local government youth councils in select communities. • Initiate efforts to secure state legislation to establish MCSC as an endowed public/private authority. Year Three • In partnership with the Steering Committee and drawing on the results of the Year Two develop, with private sector support, a catalog of model programs and practitioners for public dissemination. • Reconvene the participants of the Year One grant·makers meeting to assess progress and revise recommendations. • Continue in cooperation with MYP AC and the Michigan Campaign for Volunteerism, the state recruitment campaign for AmeriCorps and youth service volunteers. • Facilitate the development of at least four quality AmeriCorps proposals from neighborhood and community-based organizations. 13 �• Increase circulation of MCSC state service newsletter. • Take action on the recommendations of the Task Force on intergenerational service program development. • Take action on the recommendations of the Task Force on developing model national and community service programs that link headstart, school-readiness, and school-to-work transition. • Increase by 50% the number of citizen respondents to the Community Service Awards Program and create a category for model community service partnerships. • Conduct regional community service collaboration training using the five CARES communities as training centers. • Based on practitioner critique, revise the state model for AmeriCorps training and technical assistance. • In partnership with 'MDE leverage at least two schooVcommunity partnership by targeting school and CB Learn and Serve grants. • Integrate AmeriCorps peer technical assistance consultants into Michigan Service-Learning Council and revise common training elements as needed. • Conduct a statewide conference on national and community service to enable practitioners to assess the state's progress in establishing a sustainable infrastructure. • Launch a fundraising campaign for MCSC's anticipated public/private authority. • Ensure that no less than 80% of the Year One AmeriCorps programs that have demonstrated quality and measurable success are funded for continuation. Coordination In order to succeed, MCSC must ensure that it makes all of its strategic decisions in consultation with its state partners. The Michigan Steering Committee for National and Community Service is the forum for strategic consultation and program development coordination. The members of the 14 �Steering Committee represent, among other agencies, CMF, MCC, MNF, MDE, and the Michigan office of CNCS. Representatives of these agencies also serve as ex-officios of MCSC. Stanley Stewart, the director of Michigan CNCS, has been an energetic and productive contributor to MCSC and the Steering Committee. MCSC will continue to coordinate all of its activities with particular attention to building community partnerships in conjunction with Domestic Volunteer Service Act projects and activities. The Michigan Campus Compact, under the leadership of first Diana Algra and now Julie Busch, has become one of nation's leading state Compacts. MCSC has enjoyed an especially close working relationship with MCC on a variety of projects including the development of state standards, MCSC's administration of MCC higher education grants, the establishment of the Michigan Service Learning Center, the coordination of the Service Learning Training Council, and leadership training for MYPAC members. MCSC's partnership with CMF, a state network that represents more than 10% of the nation's community foundations, has already been discussed. MNF, a trade association of sorts for the state's non-profit sector, coordinates Michigan Campaign for Volunteerism. MCSC is represented on the MNF board and contributed to the Campaign's 1993 Year of the Volunteer media blitz. Since 1991, MOE and MCSC have maintained a close and productive partnership. MCSC and MOE collaborated in the development of their respective state applications in 1992 and 1993. MCSC has contributed to the Serve America grant making process. In light of the National and Community Service Trust Act's administrative split between the school and community-based programs formerly under Serve America, MCSC and MOE's collaborative and coordinated planning and program development will ensure continuity in the Michigan's K-12 Learn and Serve school and community programs. MCSC and MOE will facilitate the development of complementary funding awards. The most tangible example of the partnership is MCSC' s funding of 1/3 of the MOE's Learn and Serve coordinator salary. The Governor and the MCSC chair, and the State Superintendent provided letters of support for their respective Learn and Serve proposals. 15 �Support It would be hard to miss from reading to this point that MCSC has placed the leveraging of nonCNCS resources as a high priority. This is the obvious question that must be answered in order to achieve a sustainable infrastructure and it will be the central question of the grant maker conference that MCSC plans to convene in Year One. Given that among the Michigan groups to be invited, the Charles Stewart Mott Foundation, the W. K. Kellogg Foundation, and the Skillman Foundation have invested nationally millions of dollars in service and youth development, the results of the conference should be helpful beyond Michigan as well. Without the leadership, guidance, and support of these three foundations MCSC and Michigan would not be in the position it is in today. Mott and Kellogg have representatives on MCSC and Skillman, with the help of Michigan CNCS has committed to providing the cash match for Year One AmeriCorps program proposals from Southeast Michigan. Skillman's support, if extended to Year Two programs, will improve significantly the likelihood of successfully developing strong AmeriCorps program proposal among neighborhood organizations. As on the Federal level, nonpartisanship is never universal, but through the leadership of the First Lady, Governor, and commissioners, MCSC has remained out of the partisan fray. The effort to win passage of H.B. 5280 was led in the Michigan House by a Democratic and in the Senate by the Republican Majority Leader. Only three legislators voted against the bill in both houses combined. Of the then twenty-one member commission polled in April, seven were Democrats, seven Republicans, and seven independents. MCSC holds the view that training and technical assistance are devices that must be effectively applied to support the strategic development of human resources and infrastructure. Training must also be user friendly and user owned. MCSC will draw primarily upon in-state resources, but also 16 �draw upon the best thinking and experience in the national field to develop comprehensive statewide training standards. In Year One MCSC will hold state-wide AmeriCorps program staff trainings and regional trainings for AmeriCorps participants. Training needs will be determined through a needs assessment survey of proposed AmeriCorps programs in July. MCSC will organize a state AmeriCorps Task Force to set guidelines also in July. The Task Force recommendations along with the results of the program needs assessment will form the outline for MCSC's PDAT proposal later this summer. Among the training resources that MCSC will draw upon include Michigan State University Extension 4-H Youth Programs, Michigan Service Learning Center, American Youth Foundation, MCC, National Youth Leadership Council's Generator School Project, the Active Citizenship Today Project, the National Service Learning Clearinghouse's regional hub at MSU, the Youth Volunteer Corps network of Michigan, and United Community Services of Detroit. Development Process In October, 1993, MCSC convened the Steering Committee's first meeting on the National Service Trust Act of 1993. The Steering Committee was instrumental in contributing to setting the outline for the state planning process. In addition to the state-wide video teleconference MCSC, in cooperation with members of the Steering Committee, held twelve technical assistance and planning meetings around the state involving more than five hundred people and mailed 1,600 AmeriCorps applications through partner networks. MCSC received 45 proposals representing partnerships that involved more than seventy state and local organizations. All of the information gathered through this proposal and planning process contributed to the state plan. Institutional Capacity MCSC's, chair Michelle Engler, is a practicing attorney who has demonstrated a lifetime commitment to the law and public service. A member of both the Michigan and Texas state bar 17 �associations. Ms. Engler has been involved in numerous initiatives that support women. children. families. literacy. as well as national and community service. Ms. Engler is a leader in promoting Michigan Harvest Gathering. which in three years has raised more than $900,000 and 1.5 million pounds of food for Michigan •s hungry. She has also been an advocate for the women of Michigan in the fight against breast cancer. She is a spokesperson for the Children's Trust Fund and serves on the Board of Directors for Michigan Cities In Schools and the Library of Michigan Foundation.

Young people and community program practitioners must be involved in policy development and program design. Programs must built 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, organizations, and existing resources must be developed. * Sufficient rewards, incentives and recognition to promote service should be developed. The Michi2an Principles for Service 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. �Michi2an Community Seryjce Commission Ms. Michelle Engler, Chairperson Michigan Community Service Commission Mr. Alton Shipstead Northwest Michigan Council of Governments Mr. Victor Begg President, Muslim American Alliance Mr. Michael Tate Michigan State University Extension Mr. Jon Blyth Charles Stewart Mott Foundation Ms. Geneva Jones Williams, President United Community Service Dr. Mary Ellen Branden Central Michigan University Mr. Frank Dirks, Executive Director Michigan Community Service Commission Ms. Julie Cummings Love light Foundation Ms. Carol Dombrowski Senior Services, Inc.

Capitol Ave . Bldg ., 4th Floor Michig an 48913 (517) 335-4295 (517) 373-4977 Enclosed is the package of Michigan 's Ameri Corps Year Three program renewal recommendations for your review and approval. We are recommending that seven programs be forwarded to CNS for approval. Our submission deadline is May 1. We are withholding recommendations on four programs until a second, supplemental package Year Three submission in July. At that time we will also recommend what we anticipate to be two new formula funded programs. We will issue an RFP at the end of this month. If any of the four withheld renewals fail to meet standards, the number of new programs that we can put forward will increase. At this time, we have no reason to believe that any of the four withheld programs will not be recommended. We are pleased that in four out of the seven program we have been able to see FTE cost reductions. Only two programs reflect an FTE increase. One has held constant. While we have reduced the average FTE rate over the current year, we will still show a real increase due to a recalculation of the current-year EMU budget. We are still at a state FTE average well below the CNS average of $13,800, less the education award. Please note that the MSU program is not included because it was planned and operated as a twoyear program. I look forward to our conference call on Friday.
