Description: The Michigan Commission plans to reinvigorate their Service-Learning Youth Council. In 2008 the MCSC will partner with the LEAGUE Michigan, Michigan Campus Compact and Michigan's AmeriCorps program to provide a two-day service and leadership camp. The new model will be an emerging leaders model in which the youth are provided a monthly online curriculum to develop and implement service-learning projects. Twenty teams of five students will attend the camp, commit to completing the online course requirements and participate in the annual Institute: Service-Learning and Civic Engagement. The MCSC will assign a local AmeriCorps member to serve as a coach for each of the teams.Following the summer leadership camp, each team will be convened for a monthly webinar. They will use a social networking site modeled after the National LSA Youth Speakers Bureau Ning site to support these teams. To implement the projects each team will be eligible for implementation funds averaging $500 per team. They will be asked to find local matching funds and to design projects that mobilize additional youth volunteers.
