RE: Isaiah Project Youth Outreach
Dear City of Merced,
Calvary Assembly is pleased to present this proposal for your review and we look forward to partnering with you in providing a safe, encouraging, healthy community for at risk and underprivileged students.
We do this through our youth outreach called "Isaiah Project". Birthed from a tragic incident of losing a loved one to street violence, Isaiah Project has be a blessing to this community on the Southside of Merced since 2012. Our goal is to uphold a gang and drug free environment for our students and provide a safe place for kids to gather while being encouraged to be the best they can be.
For 10 years we served students that come from broken homes & families. We have served foster kids, kids who have lost their fathers to gang violence, kids who have parents who are in jail, or on drugs. Our joy comes from providing these students with a warm, caring and friendly environment. Our goal is to build a healthy & positive relationship with them so that they feel valued, secure, and respected as a person. We also want to express that we do not discriminate against anyone, all are welcome! Isaiah Project is available the first and third Friday of each month from 4:00 pm to 6:00 pm.
We meet in the fellowship hall and greet students as they come in through the parking lot. Students are free to choose what activity they would like to do, such as basketball, 4 square, table games, paint, or crafts. Homework help is also included. We also provide topical lessons from the Bible and have discussions on life issues and provide dinner for them and there is no cost to families.

PROPOSED PROJECT & SCOPE OF SERVICES
Through the Isaiah Project After School Program, we provide a safe and welcoming environment for all children and youth on the 1 and 3'° Fridays from 4:00-6:00 PM. The ages that we serve are not limited to youth because even children need positive peers just like youth do.
Through this program, we have several things that we teach them. We teach teamwork, we promote creativity, develop self-confidence, and also independence. We take time to teach the kids, and youth, an attitude of gratitude, responsibility, and problem solving skills for life. We show them how to respect people's boundaries and how to respect authority. We also help them how to deal with their emotions in a healthy and positive way.
For one hour, we promote group activates like board games, arts, crafts and physical activity. To some children who want to be in sports, we teach them how to be better at their position they dream of being in. We also offer homework help when its needed too. When it comes to homework, we use the approach of helping them come up with the answers on their own by coaching them along the process to get the answers, which teaches self-confidence.
For the next 20 minutes, we bring in the kids and youth together for a dinner. Much of these kids come from homes that their parents are unable to join them for dinner so as mentors; we share a meal with them. We take time for the children to show gratitude to those who helped provide the food by teaching them to say thanks.
For the next 20 minutes, we take time to bring in a life lesson from the Bible to help them be better kids at home, choose right friends, respect and listen to their parents, teachers, and those in authority. We teach them to aim for high goals so that they can become the best that they can be in their lives and remind them that they have purpose.
And for the last 20 minutes, we wind down the program by working alongside the kids by picking up the event area, packing away the games and cleaning up the kitchen. We teach kids responsibility by teaching them to clean up their area and their own trash. We also take time to be able to speak to the kids on a personal level if they need guidance with problems in their life.
One of the major hurdles what we are trying to overcome is having more kids come to this event. Right now we have 8 kids coming but at the start in 2012 there were 25 kids in attendance. We have tried to do our best to partner with local schools and government agencies to promote the event but have not seen the results that we have seen like the past. We have also promoted the events on Social Media and have not seen results either.
We want return to our original numbers like the past and to get that done, we want to personally engage with the community to make the program known in the area. How we plan to promote the program in the area is with food, family activates, and tons of fun for kids of all ages near their homes at local parks in the next few months.
Our goal is to take this event and promote it in local parks like Steven Leonard which is 6 blocks away and next to an apartment complex. There is also a park at W Street and 11 which is next to an apartment complex and near a location that will soon to be Studio 6 that will be converted into a location to help homelessness families through Project Room Key.
We are surrounded with a great opportunity to serve the south side of Merced children and youth. We are looking forward to our partnership.
