Mulhern Executive Director Janet C. Lawson MEMORANDUM TO: MCSC Commissioners FROM: Kathy Young-Welch, MCSC Public Relations Chair DATE: December 10, 2004 RE: MCSC Public Relations Committee Report The Public Relations Committee met on Monday, November 29, at 2:00p.m. via conference call. The following members of the committee were present: Dan Mulhern, Don Newport, Vivian Pickard, Ken Whipple and Kathy Young-Welch. The following staff members were present: Mary Grill, Janice Harvey and Janet Lawson. MCSC Marketing Plan The MCSC Marketing Plan was distributed and the different areas discussed. It was agreed that another section should be added addresses the role of the Commission and branding issues. External Communication: The committee members thought it would be important to do an assessment of the MCSC partners to see what type of internal communication tools (weekly/monthly newsletters, e-bulletins, etc.) they have. The MCSC can then use those tools to share information on events, GSA nominations, etc. It was also suggested to involve the corporate partners in submitting applications for various MCSC awards. The Committee also agreed that there would not be an Annual Report, but possible quarterly E-newsletters. There was also discussion about developing a consistent message and having consistent information to share. A brochure would meet this need. It was also recommended that we see if it is possible to have our statewide data broken down by programs and regions so the Commissioners can have specific information pertaining to their geographical area. Internal Communication: Need to establish an identity for the Commission. The Committee also discussed the branding issues and the difficulty of the all the program logos. �Legislative Relations: The Committee stated that there needs to be more proactive Commissioner updates, that the legislators should be more actively involved in the GSA nomination process, and Commissioners should be know when contacts have been made with legislators in their area. There was brief discussion about an event with Rep. Tobocman (former AmeriCorps member) or Sen. Kuipers, who is a mentor. Program Support: The MCSC needs to promote the idea and concept of AmeriCorps, Learn and Serve, and Citizen Corps. The next meeting of the Public Relations Committee is scheduled for Monday, December 13th at 11:00 a.m. The Mentor Michigan and Governor's Service Awards Marketing Plans will be discussed. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Last week was incredibly busy with the wrapping of company business for the year and the college graduation of my youngest son. Below are some ideas that I have and some areas where I can be of assistance to the plan already developed. Please review them and let me know what you think? I will be working during the holidays with the following days off (12/24/12/27, 12/30. 1/3). I would love an opportunity to further discuss these ideas given our short window. Perhaps we can arrange a conference call. I am interested in knowing how the psa recording went, what the media package is like, when it will be available, etc. After the holidays I can focus more on the MCSC and the GSA Marketing Plans. Mentor Michigan Marketing Plan -~:J We need to have identified media partners (radio, commercial television, cable, newspapers) in each of our major regions across the state. • A letter from the governor and First Gentleman needs to go to eac General Manager or other top level leadership requesting support of Mentoring messages during the month of January in the form of news stories, public service announcements, news articles and special interviews. Specifically in Detroit, for the African American Community, I would recommend perhaps a letter that will reference me as a commissioner from the Detroit community who will help coordinate/participate in interviews at WMXD, KISS 102 FM and WCHB (These are stations that cater to African American Adults). (I) I have relationships with key individuals each station). • Radio/TV/Cable Ideas 1. (30/60 vignettes touting mentoring L snapshot stories from mentors, mentee and parents of mentors, Page 1 J �each could end with a tag line encourage adults to contact the commission website and connect with a mentoring organization. (2) Local contests to identify super mentors who are making a difference could be engaged with a media partner in various parts of the state. A special luncheon could be held to recognize a group of 6-10 mentors. The event would be sponsored by the station, underwritten by commercial sponsors and "Significant Mentor" Certificates could be given out to the mentors. The certificates would be signed by the station leadership and the governor and first gentleman. I have had a lot of success with events like this. (3) • We should think about customized radio psa's. Most 30/60 public service announcements are aired at weaker listening times. Sometimes, providing a simple 10-15 second reader that an air personality can read in-between a song or over a song-bed is more acceptable by the radio station (EX. Mentoring can change the life of not just a young person, your life as an adult can be positively impacted too. Phone (1-800-mentor) to connect with a child in your community Today). I can offer some assistance in helping write some of these quick announcements). • In areas where commissioners are located, their involvement as interviewees could be utilized or tied to any interviews with the governor or first gentleman. This will personalize the interviews and pave the way for a commission contact for future volunteer interviews. • In the Detroit Community to address the need for African American Male Mentors, a relationship needs to be forged with the 100 Black Men organization and the governor and first gentleman. I can help facilitate this with the organizations leadership. The group, which is already involved in working with young southeastern Michigan African American males, may have an interest in standing shoulder to-to shoulder with the governor's office working with young people. • Engaging the Detroit Urban league and NAACP mentoring programs for their support can be requested. I can assist in bridging these relationships.

In one of the segments, I would like to feature Dan. Let me know if either if these dates are good for him. My program City Highlights airs live from 7-SPM on those dates. The program is aired from the Detroit Comcast Studio's at 12775 Lyndon. 3 I � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Romney Lansing, Telephone: FAX: Chairperson Russell G. Mawby Executive Director Kyle Caldwell S. Capitol Ave. Bldg., 4th Floor Michigan 48913 (517) 335-4295 (517) 373-4977 MEMORANDUM TO: Members ofthe Michigan Community Service Commission FROM: Kyle Caldwell, Executive Director RE: Future Goals DATE: November 17,2000 CC: Friends ofthe MCSC Attached you will find the latest version of the "Future ofMCSC" document which includes the specific goals, objectives and SWOT analysis as crafted by the MCSC staff at their 2000 Staff Retreat. Strategies The "Future ofMCSC" proposes that the MCSC focus its operational energies on three basic strategies: 1. MCSC will be a grantmaking entity much in the same way as would a foundation. The MCSC would invest in models and initiatives that would further the strength of the field, but would refrain from building staffing and internal structures to operate these initiatives. The role of the MCSC would be to provide and/or broker support that incubates new ideas and new models with an eye toward sustainability through support through avenues at the local, state and national level. 2. MCSC will forge new partnerships that look as intensively within state government as outside state government. The workforce ofthe state ofMichigan is vast as is its ability to touch the lives of others. The MCSC can help to recognize and promote the existing and future volunteer efforts occurring within state agencies. �3. MCSC will study, analyze and share its learning experiences with the rest of the world to advance the knowledge of the field. The MCSC has traditionally only provided evaluation funds and support to grantees for their own purposes. This resource will continue, but the MCSC will also look to providing impact data on different volunteer initiatives as well as those it funds. One example is to provide an annual report on the health of service and volunteerism in Michigan. Ultimately, this would breakdown indicators of volunteer infrastructure to a county by county level. Moving ahead with marketing and research involves the MCSC gearing up an effective and efficient marketing and research component. Again, this will not involved the MCSC building an entire new staff area. The MCSC will focus on contracting with existing partners and forging new ones to deliver these services. Certainly, the ConnectMichigan Alliance will be one of those that will be able to help in this area. To summarize, this documents crafts the future direction for the MCSC and focuses on the MCSC becoming a grantmaker that invests in, and incubates innovative service and volunteer initiatives. The MCSC will do this by allocating resources, forging and strengthening partnerships, and sharing information that can help communities promote service and volunteerism as an effective community problem solving mechanism. Background This document represents months of strategic planning that was inspired by three major factors: 1. The MCSC has been the fortunate beneficiary of the support and leadership of the current Governor and First Lady. Due to term limits, this may change as a new administration will begin in January of2003 and will may not demonstrate the same level of commitment to the work of the MCSC and its partners. 2. The MCSC is a relatively new organization in state governmental terms and has continuously operated as a "start up" organization. Evidence of this mode of operation include insufficient staffing, no physical space plan (the MCSC has been operating "rent free" since its creation in 1991), extremely limited written policy and planning documentation and no sustainability plan. 3. The recent development of the ConnectMichigan Alliance will force the need for some desirable yet rapid changes in the way the MCSC will do business in the near future. All of these factors were considered when crafting the attached strategy. This strategy was crafted to deal with these challenges and help the MCSC forge effectively forward into some new areas of support for volunteers. �Conclusion In its most basic form, this document is a sustainability plan for the MCSC. It proposes changes in the operations of the MCSC, but not the mission. The MCSC will still serve as a convener, catalyst and broker for the service and volunteer sectors. The MCSC remains dedicated to enabling all citizens, including youth, to engage in public problem solving through service and volunteerism. �~ The Evolving Future of MCSC Sponsored Service and Volunteerism in Michigan: Continuing as a Catalyst, Convener and Grantmaker Michigan Community Service Commission Visioning for the Future Taking Stock with an Eye Toward the Future There are a number of indicators that demonstrate that this is a tilne of great prosperity, goodwill and collaboration within the volunteer and nonprofit sectors, but there is still a great deal of work that can be done. Michigan has been on the front line of the national cause to make volunteering and community service a part of every citizen's daily life. Without reviewing the decades of human charity and philanthropic accomplishments this state has achieved, several milestones can be credited for this prestigious position. First, the vast number of individuals and organizations leading the cause including the late Governor Romney, our now Governor Engler, First Lady Michelle Engler from the public sector; the philanthropic community including the W.K. Kellogg Foundation and its leaders including Russell Mawby, Bill Richardson and Joel Orosz; the thriving network of community foundations ably represented by the Council of Michigan Foundations and its former president, Dorothy A. Johnson; and the continuing expansion of the volunteer centers, campus compact institutions and healthy nonprofits throughout the state represented by the Michigan Nonprofit Association. Together, but existing independently, these individuals and organizations have constructed an intricate and broad reaching infrastructure that supports service and volunteerism in Michigan. There are a number of indicators that demonstrate that this is a time of great prosperity, goodwill and collaboration within the volunteer and nonprofit sectors, but there is still a great deal of work that can be done. State funded volunteerism is at its highest in decades (if not in history). The state of Michigan provides nearly $23 million in state and federal funding to support volunteer related programming for youth, adults, families and seniors. Private funded volunteerism is made strong through the community foundations that provide services to every community in the state. Their strong network of young people work their philanthropy through the Youth Advisory Councils. A draft planning document developed by the Michigan Community Service Commission members and staff. Revised 9/13/00. �Local volunteers are connected with opportunities to serve through the volunteer centers that offer services in nearly 85% of all Michigan communities. Large scope programs like national service have taken root in Michigan with programs like Michigan's AmeriCorps that has positively impacted over 276,000 citizens in our state in 1999 alone. Colleges and universities actively are engaging their students, faculty and administrators in giving back to communities in which they operate through new interactive methodologies including academic service-learning. These are tremendous accomplishments that have built up over generations, but which have made quantum leaps in development in the last decade. Beyond the individuals and the organizations we have healthy networks, large statewide events and structures, and targeted communication strategies that support and celebrate our volunteers. ,.. . . lnfrastrur;tlj~(Dis thef,{'{§liffork,,~ : ~~d:~~~~· ~::~~7::~~:~::::/:~~=~::: ~~:~~es it we"'use to "Infrastructure."

Infrastructure is the framework we use to successfully engage and Revised 9/13/00 �channel the passions and goodwill of Michigan's citizens. Michigan is often touted as the "Volunteer Infrastructure State" by peers and other organizations outside of our state. At the same time, while the organizations involved in the volunteer infrastructure in Michigan are able to point to what "it" is and what "it" does, these same organizations have difficulty explaining to those outside the infrastructure web, why exactly the infrastructure needs to be supported. Even the volunteers the infrastructure supports often do not realize that many of the grants, services and events that support their work would not be available were it not for the systematic and deliberate development of our state's volunteer infrastructure. Many do not realize the true impact and value our volunteer infrastructure can have on a community's ability to deal with local challenge. The vehicle (volunteer infrastructure), while in operation and functional, remains in the background in many communities as they struggle to address serious social issues. The profile of the Michigan Volunteer Infrastructure must be raised, praised and supported to ensure our future and the prosperity of the human spirit. To ensure that'4 sustainable endu"G.i!lgrfJ)fce .

To achieve this (based on what has been learned over the past two decades) here is what Michigan could cio: ,;,:):. Revised 9/13/00 �Michigan, by establishing a strong nexus for Michigan's volunteer infrastructure, can provide a focal point for the advancement of the field. Michigan, by providing a sufficient flow of flexible resources to the volunteer field, can test and incubate new assumptions, strengthen working models of positive community change and provide training and technical assistance to organizations and individuals that see service and volunteerism as useful mechanisms for problem solving. Michigan, by continuing to convene elements of our public, private, nonprofit and social sectors, can discover new ways to deal with our society's most vexing social, economic and educational issues. Michigan, by providing a voice to the nonprofit community, can more effectively impact public policy and highlight the utility of tli~ nonprofit sector in advancing positive community enrichment• M6SCwill ,.?" ;,:· .:;:: convener. catalyst an/L, grantnzaker. ,=·:~f;, ;:,:j;:;c%e M<;;:SC, MNA and its affiliates, VCM and MCC are addressing some of ·, thes,~.*gtes, each to their respective individual available resources an ~pe$se. Unfortunately, these roles can overlap and create conflicts and ompe~ition, especially if more than one are part of any single organization. For example, MNA is an organization that advocates on behalf of and supports the interests of Michigan's nonprofit community. In addition, it has ·:as part··ofitsrission, the charge to promote volunteerism. MNA receives '"grant fu!14~i"to'lll the MCSC to support volunteer programs operated by its affiliate~}Aisome point, MNA may need to take a controversial stand (to the MCSC'and state government) on a public policy issue with which the MCSC disagrees~ An orgarJ.fz~d()'rl"cannot effectively challenge public policy on behalf ofpriva~e Prganizationswhile simultaneously accepting public funds from the very:agency it,is trying to influence. Similarly, government is often bound by thcL~nabilitY of its systelll~ to move swiftly and can be somewhat cumbersome in its ability to engage'in detailed programming.

The creation of a nonprofit arm of the MCSCcouidhave made for c,bmpetition among MNA and MCSC-a deadly s~tofcircumstance.s in the ~onprofit sector. The question becomes, "How do organizations utilize the agility of the nonprofit sector, tap into the vast resources of government, promote the effectiveness of volunteers and maintain a voice for Michigan's nonprofits?" Simple, compromise, specialize, and institutionalize. IfMCSC and MNA follow this formula, they can truly strengthen volunteerism and make the infrastructure that supports it, permanent. 'J,~!'~;g:~j~~$Y :l Revised 9113100 �Compromise . MNA is willing to spin off its signature programnung components (VCM and MCC) to reallocate its administrative resources and free it up to advocate freely on behalf of Michigan's nonprofits. MCSC is willing to spin off its field promotion initiatives that do not directly support its national service and state funded volunteer granting efforts.

The MCSC has an opportunity to change by both expanding and contracting the functions of the MCSC-to spin off what is not at the organization's core mission and focus on what has shown to be its expertise. we Revised 9/13/00 �Since our 1999 retreat, staff have been working on plans that show how the organization might revamp itself to be most useful to Michigan citizens, today and in the future given the current changing context. These plans are preliminary, but do lay out the mission, goals and objectives of the MCSC.

In the following sections, we will defme the various future roles of the MCSC in support of Michigan's volunteer sector. Each role is given a brief description of how it would operate in the current and future contexts then the specific mission and goals are defmed. Finally, where appropriate, specific tasks have been assigned with some recommended outcomes. MCSC's Role as an Investor The inveS' role~~~~::~~~ r· new' ithas:..<:· ·· ·::m·'·'~!t :c.·;s been one . of· the oftheMCS 1£/L£££11 The investor role is not new, it has been one of the hallmarks of the MCSC. Today, the MCSC makes available two types of grant fundsnational service program support through the Corporation for National Service and the Volunteer Investment Grants funded through the state General Fund. These funds are distinct from each other in what their ~~ding can be used for, but are similar in that they both require local matching. requirements seem to build a level of local investment in ves that these funding streams support, but what is lessor is whether the local investment can have a long-lasting and sustainable impact. LLL.... .-., . . L . . F, •:;:,For·example;:with the VIG funds we do know that more than $2 ··i:nimol1jn)OCa1 funds have been invested in local endowments to support·:1ocil volunteer resource centers. This $2 million was produc~d by holding out an equal share of state funds as leverage. This pr~gram '?':asrll.nd rernai.ns, the nation's only state-funded volunteer;~~spJ#¢e C:~nter endowment program. VIG is truly at the cutting edge~i:":iii' a dec~de, we"inay know what type of long-term impact this have on com:fu.unities that worked with the MCSC to build these local funds. As a loQ.g~~¢fiil investor, we believe that the MCSC needs to continue bttiJ~_g,irif~!pcal funds in a way that both invests and leverages~~soll,f~f§)~in pe~tuity as part of a sound investment strategy. · will In the area of national service funding, the MCSC leverages volunteers. The grounding principle of the Michigan's AmeriCorps program has always been that we will use our stipended volunteers (AmeriCorps members) to leverage non-stipended volunteers (NonAmeriCorps members) to solve locally identified social issues. Revised 9113/00 0 �Today, for each AmeriCorps member supported through the MCSC, an additional 25 volunteers are generated. There may be other ways that the MCSC, as a wise investor, can leverage federal, state and local resources in support of Michigan's volunteers. By seeking out other potential investments, the MCSC can help communities diversify the support of local efforts and strengthen their ability to address chronic social issues with comprehensive and long term solutions. ,: . TheMCSC '.~:: can also,cut d new groun by defining';, its --.; ·:··~-:~· investment strategy. The MCSC can also cut new ground by defining its investment strategy. For example, when should the MCSC's investment in a program, initiative or organization stop? To date, the answers have been, "When the funding runs out." or "When the applicant is no longer successful in its programming goals and objectives as defined by the federal or state funding source." While these answers are fine for a traditional government agency, they are hardly unique and certainly not creative. A creative solution might be that the MCSC lay out its investment strategies with stakeholders up front and let them know" that MCSC's investment is toward an ultimate goal that, once ,~"~re~ch~q. will end our fmancial support in lieu of other public or private _ ,,;:~cJ:~:;;:;~q. re~,etft"<?ss. In other words, the MCSC will be looking to support local ,.~· f~§~owards local sustainability. For example, no other state ~Jfcommission has developed a comprehensive funding strategy for ;: weaning grantees off of some or all of their AmeriCorps funding. S()m~"'state.s~f.1it'e that their commitment will be three years and ··~~6thlng aft~~that, while other continue their support indefinitely. What if,the;MCSC were to investigate what it is that makes a local AmeriCqrps programwork, test what is it that the federal funds do to make'art''AmeriCoiJis:work? and then determine the best way to build effective prog;~ while increasing local capacity to operate that program? :~~1~' e'xactly what staff did through a series of focus group discussions ,,an.cf analysis' of our grants. The staff then determined that the local grantees sould well afford to support the administrative costs of the AmeriCorps program, but not the member support costs (stipends, educatibn.~wards, training, etc.). . ... :·~ ~ So, what if the MCSCwere to gradually wean and shift its support of AmeriCorps programs from administrative functions to members support costs? As an investor, isn't it wiser to invest only just what is needed to achieve a goal and allow for the remaining resources to support more AmeriCorps programs? This type of strategic grantmaking (leveraging and brokering) could be part of the MCSC's future niche. Revised 9/13/00 �Investor Vision The MCSC invests in innovative, effective, communitysupported volunteer initiatives that positively impact community needs.

This type of strategy is normally what we see in government programs. These programs define a "cookie-cutter" solution to a complex and overwhelming problem then prescribe a funding formula that may or may not be sufficient to address the issue. Revised 9/13/00 �In the end, what was intended as a investment towards helping solve an issue, usually ends up causing new problems and agencies as communities become over reliant on state and federal funding while creating local complicated bureaucracies that later live only to perpetuate themselves. invest in com1nunity,: problem solving models that teach important lessons that maybe transferable to other co1nnzunities. New models are needed. Ever increasingly, local communities know potential solutions to their unique challenges and only need flexible resources to enact creative and responsible solutions. The MCSC can, as a venture capitalist, invest in community problem solving models that teach important lessons that may be transferable to other communities. The MCSC should seek ways to channel state and federal resources for use by local communities in this manner. In garnering these resources, the MCSC must seek ways to provide the greatest amount of flexibility to local communities while expecting the highest level of accountability of its grantees and of itself. While do so, the MCSC would clearly lay out plans that would incubate new ~odels that, if necessary, would be sustained through other sources. A pgme example, again, is the VIG program. Here, grantees are ;,,,£(~scribed how to best utilize the state funds, but does require that the :,;;:local Investment be used as match in an endowment that can support future;volunteer efforts. The MCSC can act as a catalyst for securing , reating this type of venture capital either through our comprehensive partnerships with other organizations or through development o(p.ew resources from the public sector. . ,,~.· ·<~;;r:F::::~;,\i": ~::•"'!"' ·•.·· :., •.. :>;:··· ,.

The MCSC can bring resources, expertise and support to existing state agencies that utilize volunteers. The MCSC can bring together the various governmental agencies, non profits, faith based institutions, businesses and others to help provide a forum for productive dialogue, sharing best practices and collaboration. '.» ,,.:: TJi~,¥Nff:sc serveSfJS a convener of diverse grol{;. and individua s to assist in co1nmunity proble1n solving through service and volunteerism. As we look to providing this support, the MCSC has to be careful in how it proceeds. In the past, the MCSC has worked to take the lead in improving services to communities by changing how service and volunteerism are funded in Michigan. The MCSC took the lead in advocating the consolidation of national service funding by taking the position that the split of Corporation for National Service (CNS) :finlding between the MCSC and the CNS office in Detroit was :::ccmnterproductive. The MCSC took the lead in working to bring local .·:volunt~~r centers together with volunteer service through the Family e 'l~dence Agency and their local county agencies. Each of these x pies had their merits, but also lead to a tremendous amount of controversy and distrust. While the intentions may certainly have been / good, the P.rO~~ss by which the end goal was to be reached was .,,..,...... •;,:r >,m,H£§ll:~ce'ssf,YJ,;and lead to some unfortunate consequences. The MCSC was seenas.;power grabbing and not a neutral broker. Therefore, as the MCSCpro~eeds to create forums for dialogue, creative ways for colla[)o~ation and a context for healthy partnerships, we must also be aware of our past~fforts and other's perceptions of those efforts. However, whiie~ollle may always question our motives, this questionin'gsilo6ld ~ot deten:rsfrom our leadership responsibilities nor bar us fro,m being an effective, convening mechanism.

We recommend that the MCSC annually publish a best practices guide for quality service and volunteerism in Michigan that would be developed by the field through a series of MCSC sponsored dialogues. Outcomes would include a "Michigan Best Practices Guides" for service and volunteerism. The guides would be developed through focus groups, research findings, surveys and conferences that help to glean the wisdom of the service and volunteer field for organizations, especially those in state government, to voluntarily adopt as operating principles. Taking on the role of facilitating and publishing a best practices guide will require that first, the MCSC be in a position to help other state agencies examine their current volunteer management systems and share them with other agencies and nonprofit organizations .. · Over time this process could lead to a publication (Michigan .·.~tandards for High Quality Service and Volunteer Programs) that could be used by state government or even the private sector. It could even help to define the lexicon of the field to provide_w.ore standardized language (for example, .... -"·""-""',distiiiitffshing between voluntary community service and court ·:::·;;;~:pP··::;,, ma:Jld.ated community service).

On the one hand the MCSC has prided itself on its ability and willingness to engage in and form effective and non-territorial alliances and partnerships often with an overly modest approach. The MCSC is rarely self-serving in its approach and receives (and seeks) few public accolades for this work. The MCSC's literal interpretation of our catalyst role-aiding in the development of a process without becoming a part of that process- may have led to a lack of public awareness around the good work of the MCSC. Revised 9/13/00 �It tocttses J~41.~.~sY'A'cY 's 1 Y..l:\::-i '~,~ In addition, the MCSC has always stressed aiding in local empowerment and local control which has encouraged staff to provide more public recognition to programs and individuals rather than to the MCSC itself. On the other hand, the MCSC has worked to publicize the results of its efforts through America's Promise, the ConnectMichigan Campaign, the AmeriCorps logo and "signage" and various national days of service including Make A Difference Day. While all are very successful, this approach has done more to raise the profile of the service and volunteer field in Michigan and less to raise the profile of the MCSC and its grantees. All of this begs the question, does the MCSC need to_be marketed? No. However, if the MCSC is to be an effective grantmaker it must: publish its funding priorities, communicate the rationale for the development of those priorities, celebrate the successful practices and failures learned from its funding, and promote the role of government in helping to promote service and volunteerism. . , ,.(· '2l':~if eff~'rtS€f£~~;#f:~;r resources on helpln-' others solve problems locally by providing factual and credible data. ·,!-"··· Revised 9/13/00 �Marketing and Research Vision The MCSC stakeholders recognize and appreciate the MCSC and its programs, projects, and activities.

This particular model also fits well with our plans for the Alliance as it becomes the mechanism by which much of the public awareness around service and volunteerism is completed and the MCSC (as a grantmaker) can provide the financial resources to make it happen as well as the factual data upon which Michigan's public awareness campaigns are based. marketea Revised 9/13/00 �"Assessing the Health of Giving and Volunteering in Michigan" By engaging in this type of outreach, tfle ~~IJl~ij;\, valuable,.'.''' resozi'rce:"fffiif . would be seen as authority service and volunteer efforts in the state and not just a pass through for state and federal funds. As an example, the MCSC could assign resources to annually assess the "health" of service and volunteerism in Michigan communities on a county-by-county basis. This data would be collected and analyzed by qualified researchers and act as an annual barometer for how, why and how often people volunteer and the needs of volunteer and volunteer oriented organizations. In addition, this data could act as a valuable tool for non profits as they seek support from local, state and national funders for .volunteer initiatives. Each year the study might address a specific issue (education, health, safety, cuiture and the arts, etc.) that the volunteer resources of Michigan might target or examine. This approach of research and marketing of critical data is not new. Public health organizations have been engaged in this type of activity for years. Their work has made significant changes in human behavior including increasing ' immunizations against childhood illnesses, reduction in auto cidents and injuries with seat belt usage, and declines in from breast cancer through early screening and intervention.

The ability of the M~SCtqfu~her itslnission. of enabling citizens to engage in public problem solving through serV-ice and volunteerism will be enhanced by it focusing on its expertise as an effective grantmaking entity. This is a shift from the MCSC's multifaceted role of supporting the promotion, advancement and profile of the volunteer sector to a more focused one where the MCSC seeks to make targeted investments with specific outcomes. This does not mean that the MCSC will abandon its convening, catalyst and broker roles. These roles will instead be redirected to support the grantmaking decisions of the MCSC. The MCSC can only do this because of the development Revised 9/13/00 �of the Alliance and its ability to address the larger promotional and programming needs of the volunteer field. Together with the Alliance and our many other service partners, the MCSC will help to advance Michigan's volunteer sector to the next stage in its evolution and on to greater levels of sustainability. What's Our Capacity?

Revised 9/13/00 �Next Steps Clearly, even if we are all in agreement that these are the proper goals to adopt in order to institutionalize service and volunteerism in Michigan, there is a great deal of work to be done to determine the costs, feasibility and resistance points of such plans. However, as pointed out with regard to the development of the Alliance concept, we must move while we have the momentum and the initiative. Finally, even if general agreement on these changes is reached it will take time to implement them and the MCSC may not transform itself any time soon. On the other hand, the Alliance may develop quickly, the national scene may take a new direction (funding for the Corporation could cease or be increased) and the state support could dwindle.

Kellogg Foundation One Michigan Avenue East Battle Creek, Michigan 49017-4058 Dear Ms. K wak: I am writing to thank you for agreeing to join me in planning for this year's Michigan Community Service Commission annual retreat. These are dynamic times for the nonprofit sector nationally and for Michigan's volunteer community specifically. President Bush recently embraced national service as part of his work to channel federal support more directly to faith-based institutions by appointing Steven Goldsmith to the board of the Corporation for National Service. Michigan is embarking on a $20 million dollar campaign to endow support for statewide volunteer infrastructure. Our work in these areas can have a profound effect on how the future of national and community service is supported and developed in Michigan. This is why it is imperative for us to hone our mission, objectives and agenda. The Retreat Planning Committee will meet every other month via conference call or face-to-face as needed. In addition to myself, our committee includes Comissioners Lenz, Neelis and Newport. I will chair the meetings and Kyle will provide any resource materials we may need. You will receive an agenda and instructions for joining the call in a future mailing. In the meantime, I would ask that you review our visioning document that was developed by staff and distributed at our September meeting entitled, "The Evolving Future ofMCSC Sponsored Service and Volunteerism in Michigan: Continuing as a Catalyst, Convener and Grantmaker" as well as the white paper we endorsed at our February meeting entitled, "For All to Serve." I believe that you will find that these two documents will provide the context for our planning discussions. Thank you again for your leadership and continued support of Michigan's volunteers. I look forward to working with you to make our next retreat meaningful and challenging.

National Service has proven its value over the past decade as evidenced by the annual contributions of more than 485,000 seniors, 40,000 youth and adults, and nearly I million elementary through college students who band together to serve their communities. National Service acts as a nexus for tackling local needs by combining people, serving as volunteers, with resources in the form of federal, state and private funds to create a powerful force. These volunteers and the programs through which they deliver' their support, have demonstrated that the beginnings of long-term community impact can form when individuals give their time through a structured and well-organized volunteer opportunity that is locally driven and publicly financed. Now is the time to take National Service and volunteerism to the next level. Volunteer opportunities must be available for all Americans as this nation was founded on the belief that neighbors must help neighbors to address their most vexing community challenges. States and local communities, with federal support through the Corporation for National Service (CNS) have demonstrated that they can implement National Service programs by leveraging both human and financial resources to address very real needs. The nation's governors have developed and supported innovative community problem solving models through the creation of nonpartisan state service commissions comprised of a diverse populations that focus on coordinating and promoting service and volunteerism. These laboratories for local empowerment and civic renewal have helped to promote positive local community change through mentoring and after-school projects, neighborhood. clean-up programs, senior care services, youth corps, literacy programs, initiatives for the homeless, and thousands more volunteer initiatives. I ( \ \ ' ·-.... Therefore we, the states, recommend the immediate advancement and institutionalization of the following principles: • All Americans should be encouraged and empowered to give back through a quality volunteer experience that can make a genuine and meaningful difference in someone's life or the community at large. • States and local communities should be empowered to help engage their citizens in meaningful, effective and sustainable volunteer service. • All sectors of society including government, education, businesses, nonprofit organizations, faith-based institutions and civic organizations should ban together to address community challenges by envisioning, creating, and sustaining community problem solving models that utilize volunteers as their primary resource. • Adequate, flexible and non-duplicative financial and human resources from the federal government should be leveraged by states for local communities and community-based organizations to develop stable and enduring volunteer - 2 �I service infrastructures (resources, technical support, coordination, etc.) that demonstrates a substantial investment in a community problem solving model. / ( / • \ ~ Local, state and national leaders should demonstrate their support for volunteerism through personal action for the common good and through the advancement of principle-centered public policy that uses national and community service as a prominent strategy to address issues. Specific Recommendations on Principles • All Americans should be encouraged and empowered to give back through a quality volunteer experience that can make a genuine and meaningful difference in someone's life or the community at large. The nation needs a call from the President, Congress and Governors to provide universal opportunities for volunteer service. The call is needed to provide community and individual support for our nation's volunteers. With only one comprehensive survey conducted to date that describes how many of the nation's 272 million population actively volunteer (see Independent Sector Survey on Giving and Volunteering at www.independentsector.org) we do not really know the full potential of Americans to volunteer. However, we do know that all indicators show that if asked, most Americans would volunteer. With a national call for at least 10% of the U.S. population to serve their community every month, the nation would potentially dwarftoday's documented number of citizens engaged in concentrated volunteer service through our country's National Service programs. The nation's leaders must continue to focus the attention of Americans on the power of volunteering through financial commitments, national recognition, and individual and community behavior that can positively affect community issues. Encourage and explore creative solutions so all working individuals and families in America may serve their communities. In the limited surveying of Americans conducted to date to determine why they do and do not volunteer, one of the reasons most often noted as a barrier is time available outside of work and family. There are many ways to address this issue including tapping the advice and counsel of Corporate America. As part of their corporate citizenship, many workplaces could offer 8 hours of release time per year for American workers to volunteer in their community as individuals or with family members. States and local communities, with the support of federal resources and encouragement from national leaders, could seek the advice and counsel of large and small for-profit organizations on how to best encourage their workers to volunteer. This is especially important in light of the current tight labor markets, stiff competition and the globalization of the workforce. Integrate hands-on opportunities for young people to learn the expectation of giving back and learning through experiential education and service opportunities where lessons in the real wo"rld are tied to the desired outcomes of the school curriculum. State and 3 �local boards of education can institutionalize policies that promote service and service-learning as meaningful and effective methods of educating our nation's students while instilling our basic, core democratic values. The current federal support of $43 million for Learn & Serve America programming provides far less than is needed to support teachers and communities in the thousands of public and private schools. This level of support has remained stagnate now for over six years, while the level of results and potential for impact has dramatically increased. Federal support should be increased to provide a minimum of $1 million in federal support to each state with more available on a dollar-for-dollar match to advance service and learning in the K-12 and higher education systems. The newly formed National Commission on Service-Learning (NCSL) is taking on the issue of improving learning and community life through service. It seeks to make specific recommendations on how education can be made more real for America's students. National attention should be focused on the work ofNCSL as it unveils illustrations of how service and education are interrelated. Headed up by former Senator John Glenn, this blue ribbon commission includes a number of the nation's experts in service and education including state leaders (see www.learnin!!indeed.or!! for more details). • States and local communities should be empO\vered to help engage their citizens in meaningful, effective and sustainable volunteer service. National Service programs like AmeriCorps, Foster Grandparents and Learn & Serve America have advanced and increased the interest of citizens to serve their communities through locallycentered decision making and resource leveraging and should continue. More than 400,000 American's have served through ArneriCorps. This 'represents ten times more Americans than the Peace Corps has been able to recruit during its 30-year tenure. Millions of hours of volunteer service have been provided through AmeriCorps, Senior Corps, Learn & Serve America and AmeriCorps*VISTA. The federal support for CNS has made this possible. While the majority of the funding for AmeriCorps and other National Service programs comes from the federal government, local communities make the programs relevant through the actions of members and the partnerships that form as a result of tapping these federal resources. Their matching resources, locally identified needs and comprehensive National Service plans prove that communities are committed to making National Service programs work for them. Resources from CNS to states must reflect the need of local communities. Current levels of federal support are far too low for the amount oversight, training and coordination required. In order to obtain maximum results of all CNS funding including funds earmarked for training, technical assistance, administration, programming and partnership building, we recommend that CNS distribute these funds more evenly across funding streams and channel them through states rather than through national, regional and community specific routes as the existing system prescribes. This way, resources are more focused on communities, thereby reducing waste and increasing local control. 4 �The scope and opportunity of National Service programs must be broadened. In order to attract members from diverse backgrounds, skills, abilities, and age groups to National Service, it is essential that CNS have a mix of full-time, part-time and reduced part-time member opportunities available. The outreach and education activities to attract members must be improved to attract full- and part-time students regardless of age, full- and part-time workers, and the retired members of our society to participate in some form of National Service and or related efforts. • All sectors of society including government, education, businesses, nonprofit organizations, faith-based institutions and civic organizations should ban together to address community challenges by envisioning, creating, and sustaining community problem solving models that utilize volunteers as their primary resource. States should be empowered to utilize their comprehensive state service plans where they convened key organizations and institutions to develop state and local plans to most effectively address community challenges through National Service and volunteerism. As a requirement of CNS program and administrative funding, states have been required to develop comprehensive service plans. However, CNS has provided inadequate resources for state service commissions, state departments of education, CNS state offices and others to implement these plans. CNS should provide a base of $500,000 without match requirements to states for operation of the federally mandated service commissions and for implementation of the comprehensive service plans. In addition, CNS should provide additional funds for administration/innovation support costs to all states on a $1 to $1 match basis with a $20 million/per state cap regardless of population. This funding formula would allow states with the greatest interest and potential to garner the resources they need, while providing all states with the most basic resources necessary to operate effective programs. CNS can and should develop more collaborative arrangements with federal departments. To date, CNS has not developed strong inter-governmental relationships to include the U.S. Department of Education and other community focused agencies that would enable greater responsiveness to the myriad challenges facing our nation. For example, CNS could partner with the Department of Education to focus resources and attention on issues related to K-12 through Higher Education and adult learning. This would be especially useful in expanding the exposure of students and teachers to the utility and power of service-learning. • Adequate, flexible and non-duplicative financial and human resources from the federal government should be leveraged by states on behalf of local communities and community-based organizations to develop stable and enduring volunteer service infrastructure (resources, technical support, coordination, etc.) that demonstrates a substantial investment in a community problem solving model. States should provide resources for communities to have readily accessible places for individuals to engage in National Service and volunteer opportunities either through face-to-face communication or via electronic media. Former Michigan Governor George Romney 5 �called for volunteer centers to be as common and as recognizable as the Post Office. This dream can become a reality by annually providing $2 billion in federal funds to states for State Endowed Resource Volunteer (SER V) grants that would provide one dollar in federal support for every state or local dollar permanently endowed. These funds would build a 100-million dollar permanent pool of resources, ultimately decreasing the dependence of states and local communities on federal support. The endowments would provide every citizen in that state, access to a quality volunteer experience. Interest proceeds would be focused on volunteer programs as designated by the state. Current levels of N a tiona! Service funding should be substantially increased. The current investment of$767.4 million in federal support for National Service must be maintained but ideally, substantially increased. While some economies can be realized through some limited reorganization of CNS, the overall investment is only marginally adequate to build effective, sustainable and meaningful volunteer opportunities for all Americans. In some cases the support available is too insufficient to entice states to tap the federal resources (North and South Dakota do not have state commissions). National Service programs have value greater than most federally funded programs as they not only provide support through the direct service of National Service Participants, they also leverage people and resources in large and meaningful ways. On average, for each AmeriCorps Member providing direct service to a local community, an additional ten local non-stipended volunteers are generated. In some states that average is even greater (Michigan averages a I :25 ratio for its AmeriCorps programs). This year alone, AmeriCorps will recruit and engage 40,000 members. Over the life of the program, AmeriCorps has recruited 100,000 . members-an astonishing number for a program that is only six years old. This is but one stream of national service. The school- and community-based programs supported through the Learn & Serve America programs generate even more volunteers including students, parents, teachers, administrators and community agencies. Seniors volunteer their time, experiences and capacity for caring through several programs including Foster Grandparents, RSVP and Senior Companions. Hundreds of thousands of Americans are involved and engaged. National Service has not yet reached its full potential! National Service is proving that it has the potential to address serious community issues as well, if not more comprehensively, than other federal programs that provide direct support to individuals and organizations to solve social challenges (see www.americorrs.orQ 1ncwsipr I 011 OO.html). Yet, the federal support provided to date is insufficient to maintain or expand National Service. Federal support for National Service must be increased to place it more in line with support for other human services initiatives like that appropriated for education, welfare, public safety, and environmental protection. CNS funding should provide states with the flexibility and freedom to innovate as other federal agencies have adopted. The federally funded Juvenile Justice programs require their state commission to 6 �administer funds and make funding decisions. These commissions submit three-year plans to the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention (OJIDP) that define goals, strategies for achieving those goals, funding priorities, and plans for administering federal resources. Oversight is focused on the goals and the stewardship of the funds. The OJIDP does not decide who receives funds nor does it require detailed information on each subgrantee to be submitted as CNS does currently. The OJIDP model provides states the maximum flexibility while requiring the greatest level of accountability-states must do what they say they will do. CNS funding regulations regarding the many different streams of service, portability of education awards and special initiatives must be changed and streamlined. States are often faced with contrary regulations regarding the use and allocation of National Service funding. AmeriCorps, Senior Corps, AmeriCorps VISTA, Learn & Serve America funding streams have been slice and segregated leading to duplication of resources and uncoordinated allocation of scarce resources. In addition, the annual appropriation to states is often tied to national interests of the Administration rather than on the needs of individual states and their communities (Bridging the Digital Divide, America Reads and Summer of Safety funding mandates are prime examples). CNS funding streams should be focused and specific in their allocation, but broad and flexible in their regulation to offer states the room they need to innovate and collaborate while ensuring the integrity of the allocated funds. Some CNS State Offices (separate offices of CNS located in each state) have recommended the transfer of many of the grant making, program review, and administrative functions now concentrated at CNS headquarters to the Service Centers (regional CNS offices), CNS state offices and state service commissions. This would enable state commissions to become more closely aligned with other CNS entities within states and regions. The current system, exercised by CNS at all level of programming and administration cannot continue to receive large increases in appropriations from Congress earmarked exclusively for grants and more National Service Members while continuing to withhold administrative support funds. The CNS Inspector General, in her analysis of I 8 state commissions, calls for an increase of federal support for administration of national service programs and advises CNS to reexamine the model of state and national CNS offices (See CNS's Inspector General's report at www.ignet.gov). • Local, state and national leaders should demonstrate their support for volunteerism through personal action for the common good and through the advancement of principle-centered public policy that encourages national and community service. America's leaders must themselves demonstrate their individual commitment to serving others by engaging in significant public volunteer opportunities that demonstrate the types of behavior they would like other Americans to emulate. National leaders . should continue to utilize every opportunity to highlight and recognize exemplary volunteer efforts of citizens including the Points of Light 7 �Foundation's Daily Points of Light Awards, state recognition programs hosted by governors, and promotion of national days of service including Make A Difference Day. The nation's leaders need to do more than provide funds and recognize the efforts of others-they must demonstrate their commitment by giving and serving and using service as a strategy to advance their policies. America's Promise: The Alliance for Youth has served as an effective national model for energizing citizens and illustrating the power of volunteerism. This initiative, and the summit that launched it, was built on the visions of many Americans including those of (ret) General Colin Powell; former Michigan Governor, George Romney; Presidents Bush, Carter, Clinton, Ford, and Reagan; and countless other individuals and organizations. Millions of children have been positively impacted through the goal of providing every child with the five fundamental resources s/he needs to be successful and productive in our society. These leaders came together around this very important issue-children's welfare-because they understood that their leadership could advance the will and action of the nation. This drive and example of leadership must continue and grow. Background Since 1990, federal, state and local governments have been working in collaboration to demonstrate the powerful potential of National Service and its unique ability to help address local challenges. During this decade of civic engagement, millions of Americans have devoted their time, talents and resources through National Service programs. Their contributions-their selfless acts of humanity-represent a uniquely American trait. We Americans believe that giving back to our communities is a founding principle of our democracy and a common thread in the fabric of our republic. Nowhere are these principles better illustrated than in our states-our laboratories for community problem solving. Time and again, states have fostered and incubated innovative models that local nonprofit organizations, schools and faith-based institutions have used to help build healthy communities. These state driven models include welfare and education reform, public safety and environmental restoration initiatives. States have taken the lead in making these unique elements work together to build an infrastructure (support for community problem solving) for America's volunteers. Across tl1e nation, individual state commissions have been appointed by governors to spearhead the advancement and support of service and volunteerism. Each commission is comprised of a diverse group of individuals representing nonprofits, corporations, foundations, law enforcement, youth; education and seniors. Through these commissions, federal and state support is channeled to local communities to generate volunteer programs and encourage civic engagement among the young and the young at heart. These commissions, and the funds that support them, represent substantial investments on the part of states and, to a lesser degree, the federal government. However, like the investments made in our transportation infrastructure for example, state and local support must be significantly augmented by federal investments that are adequate and flexible, but which also call for accountability and demonstrable results. Some believed that all of these new resources and reforms would occur with the creation of the CNS. CNS was intended to represent a new kind of federal involvement in _ community problem solving. With its creation came the combining of a myriad of volunteer initiatives including the Whitehouse Office on Yolunteerism, Commission on 8 �National and Community Service, VISTA, Foster Grandparents, RSVP, Senior Companions, Learn & Serve America and others. CNS also created new programs including the largest federally supported national service program, AmeriCorps. During its initial formation, CNS called for empowering states and local communities to identify their needs and plans for which flexible federal resources could be used to implement unique programs and volunteer models. These resources would leverage state and private resources and be channeled to local communities through state commissions, appointed by governors, and empowered to decide how the federal resources would be spent. Every state and territory now has access to National Service funds through state commissions, alternative state administrative bodies or directly from CNS. Unfortunately, this unprecedented access comes with resources that are not as flexible uncomplicated, non-duplicative and bureaucracy-free as first anticipated. Resources were allocated in ways that did not effectively utilize the network of state commissions that CNS helped to create. Instead of focusing the federal funds on a single focal point in each state, CNS and Congress began apportioning monies directly to national nonprofit organizations and state CNS offices to conduct similar work as state commissions, but that which could be conducted without coordination with, or approval of state service commissions and governors. These duplicative efforts and contorted organizational structures are not entirely the fault of the leadership at CNS. The blame can be equally shared with the legislation that created the new National Service movement (National and Community Service Trust Act of 1993 ). Despite these challenges, in a very short period of time, states have implemented an overwhelming number of successful programs with unique outcomes that demonstrate a number of innovative service models (see \\Ww.cns.S!O\ ,statcprofiles). State service commissions also worked individually and together to forge strong and meaningful partnerships with other organizations to best utilize scarce resources including national nonprofits (City Year, Communities In Schools, America's Promise), CNS state offices and other National Service supported organizations. States have taken the initiative to build a stronger National Service field and are well-positioned help to move it forward and further prove the value of individuals giving through their time and talents for the good of humanity. Now states can take National Service to the next level, but some reforms are needed. This document offered several suggestions as to how changes at the federal level might empower states and local communities to further illustrate the power ofvolunteerism. While occasionally critical of federal systems, this paper does not lay forth any recommendations for reducing or eliminating support to National Service nor does it advocate the elimination of CNS. On the contrary, it is the position of this paper that the federal investment and interest in National Service be increased; that redundancies in oversight and regulation be reduced to better utilize the federal resources currently allocated; and that the states be offered additional opportunities to leverage more federal support for National Service through matching grants and endowments. These recommendations are based on best practices of state service commissions and policy positions of the National Governor's Association. 9 �Why Service Works Service solves problems Service and volunteerism to communities and to individuals are the most enduring and impactful methods of meeting the challenges our citizens face every day. Volunteer efforts also build communities and connect our citizens in a common belief that we must all give back to the people around us and the places where we live. Together, individual Americans have demonstrated that their efforts of selflessness and determination have helped to weave an intricate, yet informal, system of support for all Americans. From the docent at the local museum to the young person who devotes a year of their life to National Service, volunteerism is at the center of our nation's social fabric. Service has local impact regardless of the hype Daily, thousands of American's show their capacity for giving and caring in large and small ways including middle school students tutoring younger students as they engage in service-learning as part of a Learn & Serve America program, seniors delivering meals through a RSVP program, devoting a year to AmeriCorps, businesses and government making local commitments of people and money to the goals of America's Promise, volunteering time through a Volunteer Center, giving and volunteering to a United Way campaign and so many more. These efforts are documented through the Points of Light Foundation's Daily Points of Light Awards program that receives many of its nominations from volunteer centers working with governors and state commissions (see \\ '\ \ \\' J2Qj_nTS~.lj}i ~ ht. OJ'!!). Some of the aforementioned initiatives have become politicized over the past decade with the advancement of AmeriCorps during the Clinton Administration. This politicization has lead to some questioning as to the validity of the work of those involved with National Service programs. Yet, on its face, National Service and the volunteers it helps to generate and support is neither a liberal nor conservative initiative and is neither a Democratic nor a Republican issue. Service and volunteerism are shared beliefs that cut across the political and social spectrums and should be supported and evaluated on their merits and not on political grounds. Governors across the nation are committed to the power of service and volunteerism and have twice publicly affirmed their support for National Service as a nonpartisan method of getting things done. Through the National Governor's Association, the states' chief executives laid out a document of principles in their human resources policy HR-24 (see attached). This document has helped to craft strategies all across the nation and represents the best practices of our nation's states. Governors have demonstrated, through their creativity and innovation, that they are uniquely positioned to both assess and address local issues by leveraging public and private resources to create thoughtful approaches to community problem solving. More recently, Governors from 49 states, Puerto Rico, Guam and the Virgin Islands demonstrated their belief in federal support for local volunteer initiatives in their signing of an open letter to the U.S. Congress requesting the reauthorization of the 1993 National and Community Service Trust Act. This letter, initiated by former Governor Racicot, shows the universal and nonpartisan support for National Service. 10 �National Service is a tremendous vehicle for channeling local energy into an even greater force for community problem solving and serves to effectively match federal resources with local community efforts. While National Service is no panacea, it is a powerful and proven tool for promoting and supporting individual action toward a more civil s~ciety. National Service programs successfully leverage both human and financial resources-a model that is unique among federally supported programs. Service is part of healthy communities and more civil societies Daily acts of kindness (service and volunteer efforts) exist in part because of the philanthropic acts of individuals but is supported, fostered and recognized within a system that is unique to America. Some refer to this system as the independent sector while others call it the social sector. Regardless of the title, volunteers are the energy of the nonprofit community. This system is the local, state, and national infrastructure of Volunteer Centers, governor-appointed state commissions on service, United Ways, National Service programs, nonprofit associations, and the tens of thousands of charitable organizations that rely on volunteer service to help those in need. Whatever labels we use, service and volunteerism are vital components of that system and to a healthy community overall. At the core of our republic's democratic values is the belief that a free, just and civil society is built upon individuals and groups participating and contributing to the good of the whole. Americans are demonstrating daily the principle that through neighbor helping neighbor, and through each of our taking responsibility for the other, local communities become stronger economically, morally, and spiritually. Our nation's volunteers demonstrate how valid these principles are today. Robert Putnam (author of Bowling Alone) calls this type of action our nation's "social capital," noting that our nonprofit organizations work to weave our individual citizens into a connected tapestry of support for communities across our nation. Putnam assesses and analyzes a myriad of data to correctly conclude that the strength of our nation is directly related to our deposits of social capital--the investment American's place in their communities through their involvement and caring. Volunteers are at the very center of social capital and provide nonprofit organizations, and communities in general, their most valuable resource-people. Service is growing, but too slowly for the times in which we live More and more, the communities of today are calling for a renewed sense of civic engagement and increases in the level of local involvement on the part of our nation's citizens. Communities are seeking counteracting forces to the "disconnectedness" we see in our youth, working families and seniors. Our nation is looking for ways to counter the Oklahoma City Bombing and the Columbine Shooting. Our nation needs the good deeds of individuals during unforeseen tragedies like Hurricane Andrew and the San Francisco Earthquake. Our nation needs the giving spirit of the millions of seniors who mentor young children and the thousands of companies that contribute their workforce to address local challenges. These efforts need to continue and require both public and private support. 11 �Attachments 1. The National Governor's Association (NGA) policy on National and Community Service 2. Press Release from the State ofMontana: "49 Governors Urge · Congress To Extend National Service" 12 �The National Governor's Association (NGA) policy on National and Community Service HR 24- National and Community Service 24.1 Preamble Under the leadership of the nation's Governors, states and localities have played a preeminent role in leading a renewed national commitment to civic renewal in this country through National Service and volunteerism. Across the states, men, women, and children are working together to meet many of the nation's pressing social and environmental needs and are vital resources in solving some of its most difficult problems. The Governors recognize the role that community service and volunteers play in meeting the enormous challenges facing the nation while working to connect citizens through service. They applaud those individuals and recognize their personal commitment to improving the lives of others. This spirit of civic renewal is an essential unifying component of the fabric of the nation. The Governors also believe that community service programs provide substantial opportunities and benefits to both the providers and those who are served. Citizens who participate in these programs develop new skills and have an opportunity to make a personal connection with their own communities while giving assistance to individuals and communities, often during critical times of need. 24.2 Principles The Governors build, support, and promote public-private partnerships to promote an ethic of service that encourages citizens to serve in meaningful ways that reflect the real needs of communities, states, and the nation. The Governors remain steadfast in their desire to continue their work to strengthen a National Service network that is guided by the following principles. • • • • • Promote a strong partnership among federal, state, and local governments, as well as the volunteer, philanthropic, education, and business communities, to emphasize the importance ofbuilding connections among citizens to combat isolationism and promote community wide involvement. Recognize the multitude of related federal, state, and local programs and seek to streamline and integrate such programs into a comprehensive network. Encourage creativity and diversity among service programs so that citizens of all ages have the opportunity to participate. Assist in enabling individuals and programs to achieve their goals. Support ensuring that the nation's future is stewarded by individuals who, while in their youth, were granted access to fundamental and vital resources, including an ongoing mentoring relationship with a caring adult, a safe place and structured activities to live and grow, a healthy start, marketable skills through effective education, and an opportunity to give back through their own service to their communities. Utilize the unique flexibility of national and volunteer service mechanisms, including state service commissions, to build an ethic of service to community among citizens of all ages. 13 �Based on these principles, the Governors offer the following recommendations. 24.3 Recommendations The Governors recommend that the federal government recognize the key state role in national and community service in the following ways. • • • Recognize the key role that Governors and states play in promoting and providing service opportunities. Provide states with the flexibility to act as the primary facilitator of programs to ensure coordination, public-private cooperation, and sustained resources. Continue to foster and support gubernatorial leadership in involving interested people and organizations, including nonprofit, faith-based, philanthropic, and community-based organizations, the private sector, and others, in developing statewide strategies for community problem solving through service and volunteerism. 24.4 Federal-State-Local Partnership The Governors recommend that the federal government take the following steps. • • • • • • Provide federal support for state and local service programs with maximum flexibility and a minimum of federal procedures or regulations. Ensure that all federal support for community service and volunteer programs pass through a gubernatorially appointed state-level service commission or other state agency as deemed appropriate by the Governor. Make funds available for states and localities to encourage innovative proposals to leverage state, private, and nonprofit resources, including in-kind contributions. Provide points of focus at the state and federal levels to disseminate inform!ltion about service and volunteer programs to assist state and local governments and groups, individuals, and nonprofit organizations. Collect, evaluate, and disseminate information on model programs to promote citizen and organizational involvement in community service and volunteerism. Allocate federal funds to states for demonstration initiatives that provide Governors the flexibility and opportunity to showcase innovative models that work to solve community problems through service and volunteerism. The Governors believe strongly in the value of community service in that it benefits both the provider and the recipient while creating connections for individuals to their respective communities. They want to provide all citizens with a variety of flexible opportunities that will enable them to contribute to their community throughout their lives.

Bush and Jeb Bush, today sent a letter urging Congress to renew AmeriCorps and other national service programs before this congressional session ends. ... ··- .. ·-- ..: .......... '· ---:.. .:.~-· ... ... .: ..;..~· .. ;:.. ---C: ~ ·- ·- ·--- -· -·-·· .. ~- ·- ~--· '·.. -~· '"~ .. _._,..-.· ___ . ~·~·,_~ ""./--_1' ....... , . ~ '-·-. . __ ,_. . _ "The nation's governors have spoken and their message is clear: continue national service," said Governor Marc Racicot (R-MT), who led the bipartisan effort. "It is rare for governors to unite so completely around a single issue, and I hope Congress will listen to the nation's governors and act quickly to extend this successful investment in our country's future." The letter urges passage of the National and Community Service Amendments Act, introduced in the Senate (S. 2764) by Edward Kennedy (D-MA) and James Jeffords (R-VT), and passed by the Senate HELP Committee on July 21. Rep. Christopher Shays (RCT) introduced a companion bill in the House (H.R. 4740), which now has 100 co-sponsors. The bill, which is a White House priority, would reauthorize the Corporation for National Service and extend AmeriCorps and other national service programs administered by the Corporation for the next five years. Click ln:rl!' tu read tfte lcttc r Governors from 49 states, Puerto Rico, Guam and the Virgin Islands each individually signed the letter of support, saying: "We have seen the progress of young people inspired by older students, the importance of trained hands helping after a disaster, and the pride of a senior sharing his or her time with a child in need of mentoring ... As Governors, we recognize the value of national service as a tool in meeting important needs in our states. We do not want to lose this force for good in our communities, states, and country." 15 �Since AmeriCorps' inception in 1994, bipartisan support for the program has grown considerably. Many former critics of AmeriCorps are now supporters-including Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) and Rep. John Kasich (R-OH). Colin Powell recently expressed his hope for reauthorization, saying, "I'm confident that it will be reauthorized. I have been speaking very strongly in favor of it. I've become a great, great fan of the Corporation for National Service." In addition to AmeriCorps, the Corporation for National Service oversees the National Senior Service Corps, which engages 500,000 older Americans in service, and Learn and Serve America, which supports service-learning efforts that teach citizenship and academic skills to more than one million students. ### 16 � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

We would like to schedule a conference call to begin the discussion. Please let me know your availability for the weeks of Oct 30-Nov 3 and Nov 6-9. I will then schedule a call. Thanks! Janice Harvey Michigan Community Service Commission 1048 Pierpont, Suite 4 Lansing MI 48913 Phone: (517) 373-4998 Fax: (517) 241-3869 harveyj1@michigan.gov file://C:\Documents%20and%20Settings\HarveyJ1\Local%20Settings\Temp\GW}00001.... 10/1112006 �MICHIGAN COMMUNITY SERVICE COMMISSION Learn and Serve - Michigan Urban Initiative Discussion Paper Federal Funding Parameters: Learn and Serve America's School-Based program provides formula based grants to State Education Agencies to engage student, their teachers, and others in service-learning. These grantees, in tum, make grants to local schools to implement service-learning programs for young people of elementary and secondary school age. The State Education Agencies make sub grants to local education agencies, provide training and technical assistance, conduct program evaluation, facilitate peer networks of service-learning practitioners, and support service-learning throughout their network. At the local school district level, subgrantees create and expand service-learning programs, train staff, faculty, adult volunteers and students in service-learning, and evaluate the impact of service-learning on the participants. States are required to sub grant 80%- 85% of their total federal Learn and Serve America budget for the implementation of service-learning. No more than 20% can be used for training and capacity building. The purpose of school-based grants to expand high-quality service-learning in K-12 schools to help the Corporation reach its goal of fostering service-learning in at least fifty percent of all public schools by the year 2010. The Corporation has also set a goal to increase the percentage of Learn and Serve participants who come from disadvantaged backgrounds from forty percent to sixty percent. The Federal funds for this program are shrinking. In FY 04 and FY 05 it was funded at $43 million. In FY 06 it was reduced to $3 7 million. If the proposed figures for FY 07 are enacted it will shrink to $34 million. State Priorities: The MCSC currently funds school districts to provide students with sequential service-learning experiences so that, at a minimum, all students will have at least one service-learning experience at the elementary, middle school, and high school levels. School districts design service-learning programs to address core and non-core curriculum standards and provide a strong emphasis on disadvantaged youth. Local public school districts, intermediate school districts, and public school academies are eligible to apply for Learn and Serve - Michigan funds. Grants are awarded based on the experience (planning, implementation and institutionalization) and on classification of the school district by pupil membership. Grantees are eligible for a 1 �maximum of six years of funding. One year of funding is at the planning level, three at the implementation level and two at the institutionalization level. District Size Up to 2,500 students From 2,501 to 19,999 students 20,000 or more students Planning Grant Amount $6,000 $8,000 Implementation Grant Amount $15,000 $24,500 Institutionalization Grant Amount $15,000 $24,500 $10,000 $40,000 $40,000 As the chart below indicates, our subgrants to school districts have been reduced by $125,000 over the past three years. Total Amount Subgrant Amount Planning and Capacity Admin FY04 $742,446 $525,000 $102,306 $ 115,140 FY05 $727,650 $475,000 $98,713 $153,937 FY06 $623,417 $400,000 $ 91,421 $131,996 Limitations to Coverage: The MCSC Learn and Serve- Michigan team seeks broad participation in this funding pool. In order to reach communities who underutilize these funds, grant outreach trainings were offered in targeted regions - Detroit, Traverse City and Lansing. We were successful in increasing interest in Northern Michigan but found limited interest in the Detroit area. Of the few proposals received from Southeast Michigan, half of them were not recommended for funding. We were successful in funding programs in the Metro Area (Clarkston, Lake Orion, L'Anse Creuse, Southgate, Wayne Westland) but have not had a direct funding relationship with Detroit schools in approximately eight years. In a brief survey of other states' strategies for reaching urban schools we found similar targeted outreach strategies and similar funding formulas that provided differing grant amounts based on per pupil or per teacher formulas. The states surveyed (New York, Texas, California and New Jersey) indicated limited success with the strategies they have used noting that the large bureaucracy in urban districts and small funding pool were the largest barriers. In July, the Learn and Serve- Michigan Program Officers attended the National Urban ServiceLearning Conference in order to create an improved strategy for engaging urban school districts. In conversation with experts in the field, an education consultant from Detroit and through workshop sessions it became clear the outreach and grant making strategies we use in other districts is ineffective in Detroit. It is impossible to expect district-wide implementation with the limited federal budget. It may be most effective to target our efforts at the building and educator level. 2 �··Potential Strategies: The Learn and Serve - Michigan staff met at the Urban Service-Learning conference to develop a purposeful strategy for engaging more urban educators and students in Learn and Serve Michigan programming. The following plan of action is proposed: Through existing contacts and contacts from the Urban Service-Learning Institute/National Youth Leadership Council we will do outreach to administrators and educators in metro Detroit and other urban areas throughout Michigan. (Winter 20062007) Offer targeted funding at the building level. Once we know what our FY 07 funding allotment will be we will earmark an amount to support the urban initiative. We would target individual school buildings and/or classrooms. The funds would support professional development and classroom mini-grants. Each building would receive a mentor/coach to assist with program start up and growth. (Spring 2007) Offer targeted professional development at the building level including evening/weekend PD, stipends and CEU credits for participating teachers. This would be offered to those districts that did not receive Learn and Serve - Michigan grants. The selected educators could also be recruited to participate in our Service-Learning Teacher Fellow Program in order to increase their leadership for service-learning in their buildings and district. Depending on demand, our existing Learn and Serve- Michigan Training and Technical Assistance funds may be adequate. (Spring/Summer/Fall 2007) The Learn and Serve- Michigan staff have already approached the National Youth Leadership Council about bringing 2007 or 2008 Urban Service-Learning Institute to Detroit. The summer institute located somewhere in the city center may assist us in reaching more of Michigan's urban educators. Lastly, the Learn and Serve- Michigan Program Officers, with guidance from the MCSC Fund Development Committee, would like to seek additional sources of funding to support this effort. These additional funding sources would allow us to offer financial and programmatic support to educators in key urban areas. (Winter 2006) Discussion Questions 1) What are your overall thoughts/suggestions about the proposed strategies? 2) Do you have additional suggestions? 3) Are there other educational or youth initiatives in Southeastern Michigan with which we should connect? 4) Next Steps I Volunteers to work with staff on this issue. 3 � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

VanDam, Jeanine Yard, Angelia Salas, Janice Harvey 1. Review of Guidance Provided by the Board and Progress: • • • • • • • • Angelia Salas shared that she is beginning conversations with Skillman to talk about their Good Schools Initiative. She has left messages and is waiting to hear back from them. Christine Kwak suggested that it would be helpful to engage with other organizations who are already working with the schools in the Detroit area. Jerry Seese suggested sending someone with a connection (Jimmy Comer?) to meet with leadership in Detroit schools Christine Kwak: asked whether there were any higher education organizations in the Detroit area doing anything? Marygrove, Wayne State University Use a match to leverage corporate partners- it was agreed that there needs to be an initial conversation with Skillman before seeking corporate sponsors MCSC staff has had a conversation with the Community Foundation of Southeast Michigan about additional funding. They don't have anything currently but the MCSC will stay connected with them for additional opportunities State Farm Youth Advisory Grant- Jeanine Yard explained that the MCSC will apply for one of their grants focused on Access to Higher Education. The outcomes from this grant will be access to higher education and school retention. It can be connected to the urban initiative to provide grants to school buildings in urban areas for service learning projects. It will be a student driven effort as their Youth Advisory Council will be reviewing the grants. The MCSC needs to make sure the proposal is innovative so that it will stand out. The grants range up to $100,000 for two years. The plan would be to give $10,000 grants to urban school buildings (not districts) and also to keep some for professional development for these areas. RMC Research has done studies of service-learning in Michigan the past few years looking at the impact on MEAP scores and civic engagement. Michigan has higher results than other states related to academic achievement. It also proves that high quality service-learning programs �• impacts students. The MCSC is working to make sure teachers have training to have quality programs. 2007 Urban Service-Learning Conference has requested to host their meeting in Detroit in 2007. This conference attracts 100-150 people including K-12, higher education, and CBO. The focus is on issues in urban areas. The MCSC staff is working with them on logistics (date, location, etc) and are looking at hosting it at a higher education facility in Detroit. 2. Additional Opportunities and Next Steps • The MCSC needs to look at other urban districts, not just Detroit (Benton Harbor, Muskegon, etc). � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

To celebrate success, we must define what success is-for the organization, teams, or individuals.) (Some notes for intro: Celebrations connect deeply to our individual psyches and organizational culture, affirming and developing identity, quality, value, and meaning. Each factor is an essential element of a successful organization. In celebrating accomplishment, organizations are taking care to nourish individuals and groups by: • • • • Affirming identity, giving essential recognition affirming a sense of self and group; Giving meaning to our work, bracketing significant experience and naming it as an accomplishment to bring out meaning that might be lost or under-appreciated in the flow of events; Benchmarking quality, telling the entire organization that "this" is what we mean by "good" or "excellent," "this" is how we judge quality in this organization; and Assigning value to our accomplishments, saying that these accomplishments are worthy, we value them, they are to be emulated. Celebrating accomplishments provides support for staff undergoing change. Change is no longer the exception but the norm for contemporary organizations. But remember that change involves not just those obvious breaks from the past like starting a new initiative, appointing a new executive director, or adopting a new curriculum.

To celebrate success, we must define what success is-for the organization, teams, or individuals.) (Some notes for intro: Celebrations connect deeply to our individual psyches and organizational culture, affirming and developing identity, quality, value, and meaning. Each factor is an essential element of a successful organization. In celebrating accomplishment, organizations are taking care to nourish individuals and groups by: • • • • Affirming identity, giving essential recognition affirming a sense of self and group; Giving meaning to our work, bracketing significant experience and naming it as an accomplishment to bring out meaning that might be lost or under-appreciated in the flow of events; Benchmarking quality, telling the entire organization that "this" is what we mean by "good" or "excellent," "this" is how we judge quality in this organization; and Assigning value to our accomplishments, saying that these accomplishments are worthy, we value them, they are to be emulated. Celebrating accomplishments provides support for staff undergoing change. Change is no longer the exception but the norm for contemporary organizations. But remember that change involves not just those obvious breaks from the past like starting a new initiative, appointing a new executive director, or adopting a new curriculum. Contemporary organizations exist in a sea of subtle or simple interactions, where, like organisms, staff interact in perpetual evolution, change is the norm. We are constantly interacting with co-workers to interpret and give meaning to ambiguous events. ) Let's look at our accomplishments: (Slide show?)

You may find something you like or they may help to spark some ideas. This list is followed by a couple of recommended icebreakers and reflection activities. High Stakes Happening Playing our Cards Right Bettin' on Good Time Opening Icebreaker: Name Tag Switch: Ask everyone to write up to five self-descriptive phrases on a nametag, like "sleepy head, hunter, workout queen, shopaholic" along with one big learning goal for the day. ( no name included) Collect and redistribute at random. Give the group time to locate the owner of the mysterious nametag, and then have them introduce the person, whose nametag they found. Day I end of day reflection: Applying the Knowledge "3-2-1": Participants respond individually on cards to the following prompt: 3 specific new tools or strategies that I might use 2 specific things I learned or was reminded about my own work style and performance 1 area where I'd like to focus tomorrow or 1 question that I have Final reflection: All Tied Up Have the group stand in a circle. Holding the end of a ball of string, hand the ball off to a participant. Ask them to reflect on a particular question (e.g. what was something that ............. ?). Once they have answered the question ask them to hold onto their piece of the string and to pass the ball onto someone else. Continue the process until everyone has reflected on the question, and has a section of string in their hands. When completed, you should have something that looks like a web. When they are all done talking, make some points about the interconnectedness of staff, how they are all part of the solution, how would things be different if one person does not contribute to the organization's outcomes, etc. J � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

We tried to meet everyone's first choice, however, that was not always possible. For those whose first choice was the youth body, let me remind you that we approved the Youth Body proposal two meetings ago, that specified that the youth Commissioners would be the only ones serving on it. However, we have designated you as advisors to the body as needs arise. At our last meeting we also discussed the possibility of augmenting the involvement of Commission members with other community representatives. I am open to suggestion from each of you in this area.
