The MCSC created the tool in an effort to connect interested individuals with respective national service programs in their area and to assist current national service programs with member recruitment. It also allows national service program staff and members to quickly identify the different groups and organizations in their area that have a similar programmatic focus for the purpose of establishing collaborative partnerships.
"By visiting the Michigan National Service Directory, users will have an outlet for understanding the expansive scope of national service programs in our state," said Paula Kaiser VanDam, executive director of the MCSC. "We believe this Directory is an ideal resource for connecting more Michigan citizens with AmeriCorps, Learn and Serve, and Senior Corps service opportunities."
Data on the Michigan National Service Directory includes all AmeriCorps*State, AmeriCorps*VISTA, AmeriCorps*National, Learn and Serve School-Based, Foster Grandparents, RSVP, and Senior Companion programs in the state. Users are able to search by their city or county, by service program, and/or by program focus/issue area. Each search will provide relevant contact information for each national service program listed.
The Michigan National Service Directory is one of the first comprehensive online tools in the country to compile all relevant national service data into one place.
BACKGROUND:
The Michigan Community Service Commission builds a culture of service by providing vision and resources to strengthen communities through volunteerism. In 2009-10, the MCSC is granting more than $8.5 million in federal funds to local communities for volunteer programs and activities. The MCSC is funding 19 AmeriCorps programs and 20 Learn and Serve programs. The Governor's Service Awards and Mentor Michigan are also premier programs of the MCSC. The MCSC is housed in the Michigan Department of Human Services, whose mission is to assist children, families, and vulnerable adults to be safe, stable, and self-supporting. The Corporation for National and Community Service grants the federal funding the MCSC administers.
