Service and Civic Engagement

LEAGUE Michigan

Michigan Nonprofit Association promotes and strengthens a life-long ethic of service and civic engagement through the support of community building initiatives. To support this mission, the Michigan Nonprofit Association has entered into a partnership with the LEAGUE Powered by Learning to Give to develop and implement a state model for the provision of universal access for all Michigan public schools and communities to participate in the LEAGUE model.

Michigan Campus Compact

Michigan Campus Compact is a coalition of 42 college and university presidents committed to promoting the education and commitment of Michigan college students to be engaged citizens, through creating and expanding academic, co-curricular and campus-wide opportunities for community service, service-learning and civic engagement. When campuses, students and community come together, everyone benefits. Research shows that students retain more information from their classes, are inspired by education and are more likely to graduate and become community leaders, citizens and volunteers when engaged with their community in college. When the campus encourages involvement, community needs are addressed through research, partnerships, shared resources and volunteerism. More information about Michigan Campus Compact can be found at www.micampuscompact.org.  

Volunteer Centers of Michigan

The Volunteer Centers of Michigan (VCM) is a statewide network of 32 local Volunteer Centers serving 58 Michigan counties, working to strengthen, develop and connect volunteer centers throughout the state. Volunteer Centers mobilize people and resources to deliver creative solutions to community problems. Through the convening of organizations, the promotion of community service, and the matching of volunteers to nonprofit programs and events, Volunteer Centers take a leadership role in addressing key community issues. Our vision is to ensure that all volunteer centers have the capacity to positively impact every Michigan community and their citizens through volunteerism.
