Lansing - The Michigan Community Service Commission, which engages Michigan citizens in volunteer programs, including some affiliated with MSU, celebrated its 10th anniversary Tuesday. Community service organizations from all across the state gathered beneath the Capitol dome to celebrate the tenure of the commission, which was supported by the National and Community Service Act of 1990 and the National Service Trust Act of 1994. “Our goal is to engage Michigan citizens in volunteer service,” said Mary Grill, director of outreach for the commission, which receives its support from federal, state and private funding. AmeriCorps, described by Grill as “kind of a domestic peace corps,” is funded through the commission, and about 1,000 people in Michigan work for that organization on a variety of projects.
