Success is measured by monitoring activities at regularly scheduled Board meetings and debriefing meetings following events. Minutes are kept, approved and finances are monitored and reported to the Board members. Evaluations are gathered at public and outreach events, including the annual Candlelight Vigil, to determine ways to impact more residents and improve our services. Other ways we measure success is through informal communication with community residents, local organizations (including the City of Carpinteria, CUSD, Carpinteria Children’s Project, County Public Health, Department of Behavioral Wellness, Mental Wellness Center, Carp-Summerland Fire District); networking and working with mental health experts and organizations; anecdotal reports by local residents, those who visit our website, read articles that we contribute to CVN (often residents report how useful the suicide prevention cards have been in helping them find resources); and annually tracking local, county and national suicide statistics.

☐ Required Insurance Documentation (as separate attachment) *See below. *Since HopeNet is a grassroots, all-volunteer group, not a business, with no employees, no office, and very limited sources of income other than the annual City grant, once again we would like to request to please waive the insurance requirement.

sexual harassment. It is found in families, in schoolyards, and in workplaces. Research indicates that one in three women and one in six men will be sexually assaulted over their lifetimes. According to recent studies, the crime is significantly underreported, with only 16% of rapes ever reported to the police. The Santa Barbara County Human Trafficking Task Force conducted a Needs Assessment of Domestic Child Sex Trafficking. They concluded the following for youth ages 11 to 18 between 2012 and 2014: 1) 80 children who were highly suspected and (unconfirmed) to be survivors; 2) Over 400 children who were at risk of becoming victims of commercial sexual exploitation. Although the crime of sexual assault is not restricted to any age group, youth in our community are highly vulnerable to sexual assault. According to the National Violence Against Women Survey, of the women who reported being raped at some time in their lives, 22% were under 12 years old and 32% were 12 to 17 years old when they were first raped. This translates to 54% of women victims under 18 years at the time of their first rape. Sexual assault is traumatic for survivors and their loved ones. Studies show that at least 50% of rape survivors develop Rape Trauma Syndrome, a form of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, and 30% experience at least one major depressive episode after the rape. Rape survivors are four times more than non-crime victims to contemplate suicide.

Description of specific program and services to be supported by requested funding Our Carpinteria Club offers out of school enrichment programming to youth experiencing socio economic hardship for an annual membership fee of only $40 (summer camp fees apply). Our programs are fun and productive, encouraging the growth of self-esteem along with the skillbuilding activities and educational support necessary for success in our rapidly changing world.
The program to be funded is Power Hour, a daily academic support program for all Club members. We aim to serve 450 total members in Carpinteria in 2023. We expect an average daily attendance of 300 members.
The new Club Director, Diana Ornelas, has implemented a targeted reading program in addition to the Power Hour Program. Diana is a credentialed teacher and has brought her educational background to enhance the Power Hour program. In addition, she has established a library for the club members.
We intentionally focus on providing every child with educational support and life skills necessary to close the opportunity gap, especially for families facing socio-economic challenges. The funds we are requesting will help pay our professionally trained staff, who make the programs, specifically Power Hour, possible. The Club is expanding to meet the needs of our neighborhoods for out of school enrichment.
Our Carpinteria Club opened in 1967.
Description of program target population:
Our Carpinteria Club is located at 4849 Foothill Road Carpinteria, CA 93013. The service area is the neighborhoods surrounding the Club location. Carpinteria is 45 percent Hispanic according to census data. The census tracts located in the service area include 16.01, 16.04, and 17.04. Santa Barbara County now ranks third among California’s 58 counties in its rate of poverty, according to just-released, deep-dive data on poverty in the state by the influential Public Policy Institute of California (PPIC). In 2020-21, 71% of students enrolled in Carpinteria Unified School District were eligible for free and reduced price meals (FRPM) and 25% were English Learners (ed-data.org).
At our Carpinteria Club, 64% of our members qualify for Free/Reduced-price Meals at their school, indicating that they are from very low income families. Across all our program sites, our members are 78% of minority ethnicities, 68% qualify for free or reduced price lunches at school, 40 % live in single-parent homes, 87% are under age 12, and 13% are teenagers.
Describe your method for program evaluation. Include a list of all program records kept and evaluation activities.
To ensure we are continually improving our services to meet the changing needs of our clients, we collect feedback from members, parents, staff, and teachers on the effectiveness of the services we offer. We are tracking the academic progress of our students through STAR and Freckle educational programming. Freckle is an adaptive learning software that allows us to track average grade levels and tutoring efficacy. Every student is given a pre-test and then monthly follow up post testing to track their progress.
Our proprietary Membership Tracking System (MTS) allows us to collect demographic and family income information, club attendance, and participation in Power Hour.
Through the National Youth Outcome Initiative (NYOI), we measure our member’s satisfaction in several areas including overall experience, sense of belonging, emotional safety, and more. 81 7
