The Michigan's AmeriCorps Inclusion Photo & Video contest was created to encourage AmeriCorps members and/or AmeriCorps program sites to capture a photo and/or produce a video to document and display how Michigan's AmeriCorps programs promote, embrace, and incorporate the Michigan Community Service Commission (MCSC) mission of inclusion within their respective service areas. The winner of the photo contest will receive an AmeriCorps Prize Pack and the winner of the video contest will receive a $100 Meijer gift card.

Inclusion is a shift in organizational culture. The process of inclusion engages each individual and makes people feeling valued essential to the success of the organization. Individuals function at full capacity, feel more appreciated, and included in the organization's mission.
Of Michigan's nearly 10 million residents, about 1.9 million have a disability. That's one in every five residents. The MCSC and Michigan's AmeriCorps are committed to encouraging all Michigan residents regardless of ability, age, race, religion, gender, income, or education to engage in service. The MCSC works to bring Michigan's national service programs (like AmeriCorps and Senior Corps) and the disability community together to improve the quality of life for all Michigan residents.
