Agenda packet — Rancho Cordova City Council, May 16, 2022 (part 19 of 21)

Soil Born Farms’ team has gained a wealth of experience adapting to shifting circumstances over the past 2 years of the pandemic. We are confident that our creativity and resolve will carry us through whatever hurdles may come, pandemic-related or otherwise. Should COVID protocol change, we would adjust using a combination of virtual lessons/farm tours/teacher trainings; in-person small group lessons in outdoor settings; and other solutions as necessary. However, we feel optimistic that activities will be able to take place in person given that FCUSD has been in session on campus since December 2020. The larger barrier to continuity is the capacity of individual teachers to commit to school garden participation amidst the requirements and stressors of COVID. The school sites we work with are determined by the receptivity of teachers and school leadership, which has been in a state of flux due to the incredible challenges of COVID and high levels of staffing changes. We will continue to work toward school garden systems that are resilient to these variables.

Project Description – Soil Born Farms

PROPOSED SCOPE OF WORK
The proposed project will build on past years’ successes and continue to grow a comprehensive, standards-based Food, Health and Environmental Career Pathway in partnership with target Rancho Cordova schools, including Cordova Gardens, White Rock, Cordova Meadows and A.M. Winn Elementary Schools; Mills Middle School; Cordova High School, and additional sites based on school interest.

A portion of requested funds will be used to establish a new Rancho Cordova Career Pathway Coordinator (RC Coordinator) position, a key step in solidifying a powerful and lasting education pathway. We have the experience, programmatic expertise, and strong relationships with local schools to fully realize this vision - one where kids from low-income urban neighborhoods receive dynamic farmand garden-based education from kindergarten through high school graduation. The RC Coordinator will work in close partnership with Folsom Cordova Unified School District (FCUSD) to weave the pieces of this pathway into the culture and policies of the district, and to establish Soil Born Farms as a permanent education partner for targeted school sites. COVID has had a substantial impact on our Youth Education programs, with staffing levels reduced and the number of youth served still dramatically lower than prepandemic. But after a decade of groundwork, Soil Born Farms’ team is more determined than ever to see this work through. A staff person dedicated to local schools will allow us to capitalize on this moment of regrowth, and best serve the students who share our roots in the neighborhoods of Rancho Cordova.

With support from the City of Rancho Cordova, this year Soil Born Farms' Youth Education team will collaborate with schools and community partners on three action areas:
1) Leveraging volunteers and trainees for school garden support:

Soil Born Farms will roll out a new volunteer training and placement strategy to provide on-the-ground support of school garden sites. This model creates a win-win system where volunteers are recruited by partner organizations and colleges, trained by Soil Born Farms, and matched with school garden programs to support class instruction and garden maintenance. We have established partnerships with the University of California Master Gardeners, Habitat for Humanity of Greater Sacramento, and Sacramento State College of Education - all of which maintain strong volunteer bases with a service or training hour requirement, and have missions aligned with Soil Born Farms’ work.

Volunteers will complete training tracks at Soil Born Farms targeted to their area of support. Upon graduation volunteers will be matched with school garden sites, working in tandem with teachers and school staff. Habitat for Humanity volunteers will tackle garden maintenance including irrigation, tending crops in the summer, and small construction projects. Sacramento State teaching credential students will provide support to teachers during garden lessons, gaining work experience and earning college credit in the process. And UC Master Gardener volunteers will offer technical support, providing green thumb advice to help gardens thrive.
2) Integrate school garden teacher training with FCUSD professional development:

Soil Born Farms’ Growing Together program offers a K-12 School Garden Curriculum, which is aligned with state standards and designed for urban school gardens in our Sacramento growing climate.

Through the proposed project we will collaborate with the Folsom Cordova Unified School District Curriculum and Instruction Department to identify ways to integrate school garden curriculum with Application #42
ITEM 12.4. ATTACHMENT 3

Page 2362 of 2762 ends

district teacher training, with the aim of launching garden curriculum in more classrooms. Soil Born Farms will also continue offering virtual teacher training and weekly support videos on curriculum and gardening skills.
3) Increase on-farm learning as a core component of the Food, Health and Environmental Career Pathway:

Soil Born Farms’ education center provides a tremendous opportunity for city kids to explore the natural world. Our 55-acre site is an organic farm, but also so much more - it is a learning laboratory that fuses experiences in nature studies, agroecology, natural resource management, health and wellness, cooking and nutrition. Students dig into field trips aligned with school curricula, bringing topics from the classroom to life in a beautiful outdoor setting.

Though many Rancho Cordova classes participate in field trips to Soil Born Farms, there is potential for more engagement across grade levels and subject areas. As mentioned, we are in the process of building our field trip program back to pre-COVID levels of service. We want to give local schools priority as we ramp up, but are in need of dedicated staff time to help under-resourced Rancho Cordova classes overcome the barriers that prevent them from visiting the farm more often. These pinch points include issues like class schedule blocks that are too short for in-depth farm field trips, and the struggle to obtain field trip permission slips for each student. Solutions are within reach, but require focused time of the proposed RC Coordinator position to collaborate with teachers and school leadership on longterm strategies for success.

Needs and opportunities for each age range include:

High School: Cordova High School neighbors Soil Born Farms, and is enthusiastic about planning and piloting the use of our education center as a frequent hands-on learning laboratory. 22 Cordova High School field trips are currently hosted at the farm annually, with opportunity for many more. This collaboration is a natural fit for the school’s Agriculture and Culinary Academies, general science classes, and floriculture program. We would also like to enable teachers to host their own lessons on the farm, separate from formal field trips. These in-school interactions on the farm inspire students to participate in our related Teen Empowerment and Job Training programs, where teens develop essential life and job skills under the mentorship of Soil Born staff.

Middle School: Also within walking distance, Mills Middle School will re-engage with visits to Soil Born Farms. New teacher and student leadership will be cultivated following a recent departure of their lead garden teacher. Solutions will be sought for the limitations of the junior high schedule, with potential for day-long or club field trips. Cross-age mentoring activities between Mills Middle School and Cordova High and/or Cordova Gardens Elementary will be facilitated, with older grades receiving training and leading younger students in the garden. This activity was very successful when piloted in 2020/2021, with enthusiastic buy in from teens, younger students and school leadership. We see cross-age mentoring as a key strategy for motivating kids to stay engaged with the Career Pathway throughout their schooling.

Elementary School: Our strongest involvement in farm field trips has always come from elementary schools, momentum that we will build on through this proposal. Classes from 3 Rancho Cordova campuses are currently participating in a total of 13 field trips per year. Potential exists to at least double field trips hosted and work with 4-6 elementary school sites. Cordova Gardens Elementary in particular is located very close to our site and is eager for a higher level of on-farm engagement.

COMMUNITY BENEFIT
The Folsom Cordova Food, Health and Environmental Career Pathway Program benefits Rancho Cordova on many levels, fostering an environment at school, at home and in the community that supports academic learning, pathways to gainful employment for youth, healthy eating and physical activity, environmental stewardship, and community connection. The proposed project fulfills many of the Community Enhancement and Investment Fund criteria:

Children and Youth / Education: Garden-based education integrates experiential learning with common core standards, supporting a child’s academic achievement, health, and social-emotional learning.

Community Pride: Youth develop pride in their campus by caring for school gardens. Field trips to Soil Born Farms help students develop connection to place, and appreciate the ecosystems of the American River Parkway and the agrarian history of the Sacramento Valley.

Quality of Life: School gardens inspire students and their families to grow and eat fresh food for improved mental and physical health. Studies confirm that children are eager to eat vegetables when they have participated in growing them. Farm and garden experiences allow kids to explore outdoors, interact with peers, and make a difference in their community - all healthy additions to the 4 to 9+ hours of screen time that adolescents consume daily.

Culture: Garden curriculum and crops celebrate the diverse ethnicities of our community. As kids plant, harvest and cook, they learn about different agricultural and culinary traditions, connecting to their own heritage and those of their classmates.

Business/Economic Development: The suite of garden-based learning opportunities within this Career Pathway provides students with concrete job, life and leadership skills that prepare them for future employment or post-secondary education, with a focus on the booming food, health, environment and agriculture sectors of the Sacramento region. Experiences in these areas of study position students to make informed decisions as they chart a course toward higher education and living wage careers.

California’s $50 billion agriculture sector is the largest in the country by far, supported by a host of professionals in agronomy, engineering, finance, business management, mechanics, inspections, processing, etc. Related work in health and wellness and natural resource management provide hundreds of additional career prospects. On the heels of the economic upheaval of the pandemic, we believe the Food, Health and Environmental Career Pathway is more relevant than ever, and will position young people for essential work that is perennially in demand.

LEVERAGE and SUSTAINABILITY
Our approach to delivering high-quality education leverages many resources including university interns, community volunteers, grant funding, donations, school staff time, school district funding, and the energy of youth working and learning in the gardens. The work proposed here is part of our broader sustainability strategy for school garden programs, the longevity of which is challenged by limited school budgets, heavy teacher workloads, changes in school leadership, and the need for summertime garden upkeep. We continue to build solutions for long term viability. Additional strategies are in play at Soil Born Farms that support school garden sustainability (closely related to but not included in this funding request):
 Developing an MOU that details FCUSD and Soil Born Farms’ educational partnership, and will maintain the continuity of agricultural education regardless of future teacher or administrative staffing changes. This process is underway and a first iteration of the MOU is expected to be completed 2022/23.
 Providing extracurricular opportunities at Soil Born Farms that complement school garden learning, including year-round paid teen job training, an after school teen empowerment program, summer day camps for youth of all ages, and family-centered activities on the farm.

Application #42
ITEM 12.4. ATTACHMENT 3

Page 2364 of 2762 ends

 Partnering with school districts on joint funding opportunities, including an upcoming CA Farm to School Incubation Program grant.

OUTCOMES
The proposed work will create support structures that make it easy for overburdened teachers to conduct school garden lessons, and for students to dig into hands-on garden learning at every stage of their education. Schools will receive help finding solutions to logistical challenges, so that field trips to Soil Born Farms become an easy, frequent and prominent part of Rancho Cordova students’ educational career. And Soil Born Farms will become a fully integrated partner in FCUSD’s delivery of hands-on food, health and environmental education. Stepping back for a wide angle view, our intention is that by engaging youth at many points throughout their education, a new generation of young people will seek meaningful careers in food systems, health and environmental stewardship, and will sustain the work of growing equitable urban food systems at an even broader level.

To Whom It May Concern:

As the proud Principal of Cordova High School, tasked with providing opportunities for students which prepare them for post-secondary success – it is my pleasure to write this strong letter of support in continuing to build our Sustainable Agriculture Pathway through our comprehensive Career Technical Education Department with Soil Born Farms.

In alignment of our collective mission, supporting our most marginalized students is critical to our success. Given a diverse population of learners which include: English Language Learners, Special Education, and students from single-parent households facing incredible educational barriers – the Agriculture Pathway is a rigorous and engaging program which provides direct access for these deserving group of students.

A partnership with Soil Born Farms through their Youth Education would leverage much-needed hands-on resources and experiences for our students and would allow us to articulate in creating more enriching curricular and instructional opportunities for our students. Additionally, the ongoing collaboration would articulate with our current capstone course (Greenhouse Management), while improving both our ornamental horticulture and animal sciences courses utilizing a cross-curricular articulation with culinary to facilitate campus sustainability through the farm-to-fork movement. With access to Soil Born Farm, including the added materials and equipment, such as the greenhouse, tool shed, and urban cultivation; we will provide student exposure and opportunities for viable careers right out of high school, as well as the acquisition of required skills and knowledge to be successful in postsecondary options towards earning a relevant degree.

I urge you to give this application your most serious consideration. Should you or your staff have any questions regarding this letter, please do not hesitate to call. Thank you for the consideration as we partner to positively impact student outcomes.

Project Synopsis
Enhancing the Physical Education programs at each of our school sites in Rancho Cordova to promote a healthy active lifestyle and lifelong exercise learners.

Project Description
The Physical Education Enhancement project will allow school sites the opportunities to update equipment and accessories to provide students with a more robust fitness experience. Ensuring our physical education programs have the necessary equipment / supplies and means to support our students is paramount to the success of our community and developing lifelong learners. Due to the pandemic, our school site PTO/PTA's have not been able to operate and provide support for the past two years. Traditionally our physical education programs have gained support from our parent organizations and site funds. This has not been available for various reason at this time.

Evidence supports that one of the best Positive Behavior Intervention and Supports (PBIS) for students is physical fitness. During the COVID-19 pandemic the need to support Social Emotional Learning (SEL) for our students is greater than ever and physical education is one of the best models for SEL.

Project Team
The Team responsible for ensure that this project is implemented will be made up of site administrators and district representation. Site principals, physical education teachers, FCUSD Director of Athletics and Physical Education.

Project Goals
Our goal is to ensure that all of our students have access to updated equipment and accessories at each school site.

To promote lifelong learning about exercise and healthy lifestyles. And to ensure our schools have the most up to date equipment for our students.

PRO Youth - Governments Engaging Youth in the City of Rancho Cordova Project Synopsis
Youth@City Council and Summer@City Hall provide Rancho Cordova youth opportunities to learn about city functions and civic processes. Participants gain a unique perspective into City Hall affairs as they interact with city staff and leaders while also gaining valuable skills that support their success as students and community leaders.

Project Description
PRO Youth and Families is proposing to provide a two-pronged approach for 60 youth (ages 13-18) to engage in government and civic education in the City of Rancho Cordova through the Youth @ City Council Program and Summer @ City Hall program. A Community Investment Project will also be included in both programs. Each of these programs provides high-quality, meaningful and engaging opportunities for youth to become civically-engaged city advocates and develop skills to grow into innovators, business owners, employees, neighbors, and leaders. The proposed programs and projects will allow Rancho Cordova's youth to learn more about the robust, proud history of Rancho Cordova and be provided with opportunities to share their views and suggestions for continuing to improve community relationships by making the city a welcome and safe place for all. Youth participants will meet and interact with local and regional leaders in the private, public, and non-profit sectors to learn about these leaders' views of the business/economic climate in Rancho Cordova and share their own views on innovative and creative ways the city can thrive. Please see attached Grant Proposal for additional information.

project by June 30, 2023.

In the years that PRO Youth & Families has implemented the Youth @City Council and Summer @ City Hall programs in the City of Rancho Cordova, we have continued to find ways to increase access and remove barriers for youth to participate in these programs and accomplish project goals within the funding period. Our timeline is structured with pre-and-post work to allow us to adjust to any changes in the K-12 school year calendar, adjust for Summer, and meet the project completion date.

Please note, if selected for funding, you will be required to submit a narrative Outcomes Report and a financial Use of Funds Report at least two times during the grant period.

The program team has demonstrated success in administering programs in virtual/hybrid models via Zoom and is equipped to continue virtual/hybrid programming in order to comply with any local health and safety protocols from October 3, 2022, to September 29, 2023. Although the program can be implemented through a virtual/hybrid model the program team is actively transitioning back to in-person with guidance from local and public health authorities continuously assuring all partners are compliant with California Public Health and/or Sacramento County Health recommendations. The health, safety, and well-being of the Rancho Cordova community is of the utmost importance to PRO Youth and Families.

A. Project Name: PRO Youth - Governments Engaging Youth in the City of Rancho Cordova B. Project Synopsis: Youth@City Council and Summer@City Hall provide Rancho Cordova youth opportunities to learn about city functions and civic processes. Participants gain a unique perspective into City Hall affairs as they interact with city staff and leaders while also gaining valuable skills that support their success as students and community leaders.

C. Project Description: PRO Youth and Families is proposing to provide a two-pronged approach for 60 youth (ages 13-18) to engage in government and civic education in the City of Rancho Cordova through the Youth @ City Council Program and Summer @ City Hall program. A Community Investment Project will also be included in both programs. Each of these programs provides highquality, meaningful and engaging opportunities for youth to become civically-engaged city advocates and develop skills to grow into innovators, business owners, employees, neighbors, and leaders.

The proposed programs and projects will allow Rancho Cordova's youth to learn more about the robust, proud history of Rancho Cordova and be provided with opportunities to share their views and suggestions for continuing to improve community relationships by making the city a welcome and safe place for all. Youth participants will meet and interact with local and regional leaders in the private, public, and non-profit sectors to learn about these leaders' views of the business/economic climate in Rancho Cordova and share their own views on innovative and creative ways the city can thrive.

Youth @ City Council is a civic engagement program designed to develop young leaders and foster civic engagement. The program provides education related to the values of democracy and local, county and state government. It utilizes a wide range of first-hand opportunities, including participating in City Council meetings. Participants initiate and develop a culminating project which requires each of them to identify an issue which they research, compose a legislative proposal for and present that proposal during a program graduation ceremony. At the completion of the program and successful presentation of legislative proposals, student participants receive a $100 stipend.

Providing stipends to youth is becoming a best-practice, particularly for programming that requires high levels of engagement and leadership from youth. Providing stipends helps support equity, overcome barriers to participation, and demonstrate the value of their time, commitment to learning, and service to the community. This program takes place throughout the academic school year.

Summer @ City Hall is a four-week intensive summer program where youth learn about local government, careers in local government, and how to advocate for community change. It includes classes and field trips to city facilities. Fifteen to twenty participants will earn a paid internship three afternoons each week during which they will job shadow a city employee. Student interns with at least 90% attendance receive a $400 stipend at the end of the four weeks. Participants who are not matched with an internship, but complete at least 90% attendance at the end of the four weeks will receive a $100 stipend. As mentioned previously, providing stipends for participants is important to address equity, overcome barriers, and demonstrate the value of their time, commitment to learning, and service to the community. Financial literacy modules will also be included as a component of the program.

The Community Investment Project is a youth-led project designed to empower youth with networking skills and motivation to leverage their voice and become strong advocates for positive change. Students will have the opportunity to research, analyze, and advocate issues that affect their families, schools, and neighborhoods. In the outreach phase youth will be presented with a community survey to revise and administer in the city of Rancho Cordova. Data collected from the survey will inform participants on civic engagement and advocacy project areas that might be of interest to explore. Both programs will complete one youth-driven advocacy project.

D. Project Team: David Augusto, Program Manager, is adept at working with youth in the Sacramento region in support of their professional and educational goals. He is committed to educating young people on the importance of civic engagement and advocacy through leadership, life skills, and professional development.

Project Information
Project Name
Enhanced Family Life Education for Cordova High School Students Project Synopsis
The health education staff at Cordova High School (CHS) would like to purchase parent simulator dolls to provide hands‐on parenting experience. The goal is to educate students about the responsibility of caring for a baby and the importance of preventing pregnancy until ready to take on the responsibility of parenting.

Project Description
According to Sacramento County Public Health, In 2018, the teen birth rate was 5.5 births for every 1,000 females ages 15‐19. An estimated eight percent of young men will become fathers before their 20th birthday. Teen birth rates are highest among Hispanic and Black adolescents. Approximately 55% of CHS student body identifies as one of these high risk groups. Teen pregnancy has a significant impact economically. Teen parenting costs taxpayers an average of $5,500 per year for each teen parent. Teen parents and their children usually require an increased amount of public service support throughout their entire lives related to behavioral problems, chronic medical conditions, and increased need for foster care. The economy also has lost tax revenue due to the teen mom having low academic achievement which often leads to the mom being unemployed or underemployed. One effective way to prevent teen pregnancy is through comprehensive family life education. Comprehensive family life education includes topics about healthy relationships and methods to prevent pregnancy; including abstinence and proper use of birth control. Per California law, high school students must receive family life education at least one time during high school. Health classes are offered two times per year at CHS. The family life curriculum that is taught in the health classes is Positive Prevention Plus. Positive Prevention Plus is an evidence‐based curriculum that is compliant with California’s law.

Project Description:

According to Sacramento County Public Health, In 2018, the teen birth rate was 5.5 births for every 1,000 females ages 15-19. An estimated eight percent of young men will become fathers before their 20th birthday. Teen birth rates are highest among Hispanic and Black adolescents. Approximately 55% of CHS student body identifies as one of these high risk groups.

Teen pregnancy has a significant impact economically. Teen parenting costs taxpayers an average of $5,500 per year for each teen parent. Teen parents and their children usually require an increased amount of public service support throughout their entire lives related to behavioral problems, chronic medical conditions, and increased need for foster care. The economy also has lost tax revenue due to the teen mom having low academic achievement which often leads to the mom being unemployed or underemployed.

One effective way to prevent teen pregnancy is through comprehensive family life education. Comprehensive family life education includes topics about healthy relationships and methods to prevent pregnancy; including abstinence and proper use of birth control. Per California law, high school students must receive family life education at least one time during high school. Health classes are offered two times per year at CHS. The family life curriculum that is taught in the health classes is Positive Prevention Plus. Positive Prevention Plus is an evidence-based curriculum that is compliant with California’s law.

In addition to teaching Positive Prevention Plus, the health education staff at CHS would like to add a hands-on simulation experience to their student’s family life education. This experience would allow students to take home a simulation doll for a few days. Students would take care of the doll as if it were a real baby. This experience would include students identifying the need and responding to the doll when it cries. Also, students will need to ensure adequate childcare is available when the student is not able to care for the baby. Students will learn about how much it costs to buy food and diapers and other items needed to care for a child. This simulation would provide a deeper insight into the time commitment and responsponsibilities of parenting and will emphasize the importance of delaying having children until the students are physically, financially, and emotionally ready.

This simulation experience aligns with several of the City of Rancho Cordova’s goals. First of all, these lessons align with the goals to empower responsible citizenship and promote a positive image of Rancho Cordova by educating teens about the importance of making responsible decisions regarding family planning. As previously stated, teen pregnancy is expensive and resource intensive for communities to support. By preventing teen pregnancy, this frees up resources and helps the city to achieve its goal of ensuring the availability of the best public services in the region while practicing sound financial management.

CHS health education staff is asking the City of Rancho Cordova for a $5000 grant to pay for the simulation dolls. The school district is able to fund core curriculum material. However, Application #45
ITEM 12.4. ATTACHMENT 3

Page 2391 of 2762 ends

funding for additional supplies, such as the simulation dolls, is limited. The simulation dolls cost about $400 per doll. To purchase enough dolls for a class to receive this enhanced family life education experience would exceed the supply budget for CHS health education classes. By preventing as few as 1 teen pregnancy this on-time $5,000 investment will more than pay for itself because as previously stated, it costs taxpayers approximately $5,500 per year to support a teen mom.

Thank you for taking the time to consider this application. This additional hands-on experience to the family life education curriculum will increase teen knowledge about caring for a family which will prevent teen pregnancies and the impact that teen pregnancies have on an individual, their children, their family, and the greater Rancho Cordova community.

To Whom It May Concern:

I would like to express support for the Cordova High School Enhanced Family Life Education application for the City of Rancho Cordova Community Enhancement Fund. This funding would allow the Health Education Department the opportunity to create a comprehensive family life unit with state-of-the-art simulation dolls to positively impact student learning. With teen pregnancy rates on the rise for our most vulnerable student groups, CHS is uniquely positioned to provide critical intervention at a time during teen development which may have a substantial impact on prevention methods.

During this school year, as a result of a lack of available funding, our dedicated Health Teacher Ms. Holway, still attempted to incorporate this learning into her scope and sequence. Unfortunately, students utilized bags of flour as replacement for the simulation dolls and it was apparent that providing this technology would further support the intended learning outcomes for our students.

If awarded, the Health Department will work towards valuable goals of preventing unwanted pregnancy while balancing the importance of clear family planning for students. Additionally, students will be able to better understand the physical, social, and emotional impact and challenges associated with teen pregnancy and young parenthood.

I urge you to give this application your most serious consideration. Should you or your staff have any questions regarding this letter, please do not hesitate to call.

Project Information
Project Name
Boys & Girls Club at Navigator Elementary
Project Synopsis
The Boys & Girls Club program would continue its work at Navigator Elementary, providing a comprehensive afterschool program Monday-Friday for over 100 Navigator students. The Club would serve an additional 250 Navigator students during the school day through targeted outreach activities.

Project Description
The Boys & Girls Club at Navigator Elementary has been a constant in the lives of Rancho Cordova youth and families since 2018. Despite the Covid-19 pandemic, the Club has continued to serve Navigator students and their families. With the Club being back on campus for the 21/22 school year primary areas of focus for the program include health, safety, and education. On a typical day, the Boys & Girls Club serves over 300 youth on the campus of Navigator Elementary; providing academic support and enrichment programs designed to keep youth on track and successful both in and out of school. The Club has become a trusted partner and valued member of the school team; providing additional academic support and resources to the schools most vulnerable students. The Club has become an integral part of the school day, and a part of the Navigator team. Our Site Coordinator is traditionally on campus most of the school day and because of a close partnership with school administration, as well as teachers, the Club has been able to further positively impact all students at Navigator by providing school day support. Twice weekly the Boys & Girls Club facilitates High-Yield Learning Activities (HYLA) at recesses that are open to all students on campus. Our Site Coordinator is always “on call” at Navigator during the school day, there to assist with students who have behavioral issues and need time away from the classroom environment. We work with those students to process through their behavior/feelings, offer guidance, and redirect the youth back in to the classroom in a better frame of mind. Club data consistently shows that greater engagement in Club activities leads to decreases in high school dropout rates and truancy, drug and alcohol use and other risky behaviors as well as increases in good behavior and healthy lifestyle choices. The Club focuses on helping youth in three critical areas; Academic Success, Good Character and Citizenship and Healthy Lifestyles.

for over 18 years. She was first introduced to the Club as a volunteer at our Teichert Branch, teaching art classes.

From there she joined the board of directors while she was in the field of commercial banking for Bank of the West.

She served as Board President for over 5 years, assisting the Club to open more sites and serve more Sacramentoarea youth than ever before. Kim’s passion for the organization and its mission led to her accepting the role of CEO in 2015. Jon Rango, Chief Operating Officer Jon has been in the field of youth development for 27 years and with Boys & Girls Clubs for 18. Before coming to the Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater Sacramento, Jon was an Area Director for Boys & Girls Clubs of the North Valley. It was there he oversaw ASES and 21st Century school-based programs and worked closely with several school districts. He also has the opportunity to help start a Boys & Girls Club inside of the county’s juvenile hall, only the second in the state at the time. Lisa Spiegler, Director of Quality, Impact and Evaluation Lisa currently creates program curriculum for all Club sites and has been with the Boys & Girls Club for 12 years. Her wide-ranging experience working with youth and overseeing programs has made her an invaluable part of the Boys & Girls Club team.

Book Recovery and Expansion
Project Synopsis
Book recovery and collection expansion for FCUSD Rancho Cordova school libraries.

Project Description
During the 2020-2021 and 2022-2023 school years, FCUSD library staff encouraged families to check out books from their school library. This initiative helped curb learning loss, contributed to social-emotional learning while at home, and emboldened students to continue their love of reading despite distancing from one of their favorite places on campus. This was a successful campaign, as thousands of books went home with students at curbside pickups. Due to circumstances beyond families’ and our control, many of these books did not return to campus. Several titles were our libraries’ most popular novels, non-fiction texts and picture books. We would like to recover these lost books with the help of a Community Enhancement Grant. Additionally, it is critical that we support the socialemotional learning of students and curb learning loss by increasing the number of books students have access to. In Rancho Cordova, 22 percent of students met or exceeded state reading standards. In Folsom, 52 percent of students met or exceeded state reading standards. According to the American Association of School Libraries, when spending for libraries rises, better reading scores follow. Furthermore, the average age of Rancho Cordova school library collections is 1999, which is a 23-year-old collection. This means many non-fiction books are outdated and need replacement titles for factually accurate information. New titles, which better reflect student background and life experience, ought to be added to library collections. As an educational institution, newly purchased titles are essential so that we can align themed and non-fiction books to supplement our curriculum and select material that reflects each school’s population. Our request is for one additional new library-bound book per Rancho Cordova student this year, with the goal to fully realize a 20:1 ratio in four years.

Project Goals
In Rancho Cordova, school sites have on average, 11 library books per student. The American Library Association Application #47
ITEM 12.4. ATTACHMENT 3

study on highly effective school libraries recommends 15-20 books per student. We would like to build libraries in our Rancho Cordova schools to be at the maximum recommendation of the American Library Association for a ratio of 20 books per students. Plentiful access to a wide variety of library books will contribute to an equitable and highlevel educational support for all students in Rancho Cordova. The average consumer purchased book is not suitable for school libraries. Library-bound books are more costly. This is because unlike a traditional hardback books, they are their binding is reinforced for more extensive use. According to the California Department of Education, since the demise of the School and Library Improvement Block Grant in 2009, the primary source of library funding for 51 percent of schools comes from fundraising activities. In Folsom, funding for additional library staff time and material is donated by the PTO or businesses or purchased from largely successful Scholastic Book Fairs. For Rancho Cordova, the Community Enhancement Grant would fill that gap in funding for our libraries and students. Substantial research has demonstrated that a school library with a rich collection of materials makes a positive impact on literacy and academic achievement of students. We want to encourage students to read broadly and satiate their curiosity for learning. To do that, our goal is to reach the recommended 20 books per student in the Rancho Cordova schools. The material purchased will support intellectual growth, classroom connections, personal development, individual interests, and the recreational needs of students.

“A Day in the Life”: A Collaboration with George Washington Carver School of Arts and Science and California Capital Film Office Project Synopsis
“A Day in the Life” program is a collaboration between California Capital Film Office and George Washington Carver School of Arts and Science. California Capital Film Office will work directly with Carver students to produce a, no shorter than 10 minutes and no longer than 15 minutes short documentary relevant to the city of Rancho Cordova. Student documentaries will have the possibility of being showcased in the Annual Documentary Film Festival with George Washington Carver SAS participating as one of several locations.

Project Description
As a Waldorf school, arts integration is fundamental to student learning; however, Carver has lost many of their arts programs due to limited funding. The partnership with California Capital Film Office provides students the opportunity to engage in every aspect of film production, explore career possibilities in the film industry, learn about the people and the city, highlight the City of Rancho Cordova, enter and host the Annual Documentary Film Festival while earning community service credit. The short documentaries focus on the day in the life in Rancho Cordova. This could be as follows; • A historical documentary as far as a landmark, building, history of the city, or past public figure who was born in Rancho Cordova. • A short doc about a public figure such as a sports star, film or RC personality, or business leader who lives or works in Rancho Cordova. • A celebrity who was born and lived their early life in Rancho Cordova. People that come to mind include, Lester Holt, Chris Bosio, MLB pitcher Geoff Jenkins, MLB player Jerry Manuel, MLB player/manager Max Venable, MLB player Seneca Wallace, NFL quarterback Gerald Willhite, NFL runningback • “A Day in the Life” of a Rancho leading figure, i.e. The Police Chief, The City Manager, a business leader who works in RC. • How the pandemic affected Rancho Cordova. Perhaps find a resident who had a particularly hard time. • How Rancho Cordova fits into the Sacramento region at large. • The many outdoor parks, river areas, and activities areas RC offers. • The effects of climate change in the greater river areas of rancho Cordova • A doc that looks at the new arts center that is slated to break ground on Folsom Blvd across from the MACC. A series of short documentaries by young students at a high school in Rancho Cordova. The finished product would be of high quality that is of broadcast quality and able to be screened. The students would be guided through the process from beginning to end.

Project Information
Project Name
Snakes to Schools Project
Project Synopsis
The Snakes to Schools Project seeks to educate elementary through high school‐aged students, teachers, parents, and other outdoor enthusiasts in the Sacramento region about snake ecology, snake conservation, and snakebite first aid.

Project Description
Human‐snake conflict is an increasingly common problem around the world, stemming from a lack of education about snakes. As human encroachment increases in many areas, the likelihood of human‐snake conflict also increases. In the USA, the Center for Disease Control and Prevention estimates that annually 7,000 to 8,000 people are bitten by a venomous snake. Globally, it’s much higher. According to the World Health Organization, each year over 2.7 million people around the world suffer a serious snakebite envenomation. Although there is only one venomous snake (the Northern Pacific rattlesnake, Crotalus oreganus oreganus) in the Sacramento area, encounters with them are common and serious rattlesnake bites do occur. Our community would benefit from additional education about rattlesnakes and other snakes in the region. Many snakes that live in human occupied areas are killed regardless of if they are harmful or not, because of fear. Snakes play a crucial role in ecosystems by maintaining ecosystem health and environments, however, their role is often highly overlooked. To address these issues, Save The Snakes seeks to empower our community members to safely coexist with snakes through our education and outreach programs. Our community of wildlife biologists and educators will implement all objectives of the Snakes to Schools project to mitigate human‐snake conflict in the Sacramento area through effective education about snake ecology and wildlife conservation. The overall goals of the Snakes to Schools project are to successfully educate communities and learners about snakes found in the Sacramento area, which will build awareness and understanding of snakes, reduce snakebite, and lessen conflict between humans and snakes.

Project Team
The Snakes to Schools project will be led by the nonprofit organization Save The Snakes.

Project Goals
This project seeks to effectively communicate the importance of snakes in the Sacramento region; communicate and express how humans can and need to live in harmony with snakes. This will be accomplished by organizing awareness talks/workshops at schools Application #49

2 that can be attended by learners. Parents will also be welcome and encouraged to join. These talks/workshops will educate the learners on the ecological importance of snakes, identification of venomous vs non‐venomous snake species, snake ecology and their role within different ecosystems, precautionary measures to avoid snakebites, and what to do in the event of a snakebite.

Participants of these presentations will receive educational materials that are innovative and interesting to increase interest in snakes within learners at schools and to educate local communities about snakes. During the presentations, Save The Snakes will use educational tools such as snake specimens, live snakes, and innovative engagement quizzes to create interest in snakes. The use of interactive objects for learning purposes has been shown to engage learners longer and create an increased desire to learn. By introducing learners to live snakes, and other educational materials, we aim to reduce fear of snakes, promote snake awareness and understanding, and create snake ambassadors within the Sacramento community. Over a period of ten months, Save The Snakes will educate 500 learners from ten schools such that these learners can act as snake ambassadors in their communities. Additionally, we aim to generate support for snakes and snake conservation in the Sacramento area online, at community talks, and at events open to the public. By tabling at local events, using print/electronic media, and social media platforms, we aim to publicize our efforts to convey the importance of snake conservation and habitat preservation to communities.

Project Name
VSP Professional Pathways
Project Synopsis
VSP Professional Pathway will support students interested in pursuing a career with VSP as a direct pathway. FCCP Youth Engagement Specialist will provide marketing, outreach, recruitment and enroll students in VSP 8 week training. Enrolled students will be supported by the Youth Engagement Specialist with challenges that arise, identify barriers and provide support services to be able to complete VSP’s 8 week job training, increasing direct employment placement with VSP. Youth Engagement Specialist will follow up with a 30 and 60 day follow up after placement with VSP to provide additional support to successful placement.

Project Description
FCCP is proposing to provide professional pathways to students who want direct employment placement with VSP.

VSP is one of our recent partnerships we added to provide students who completed a career assessment indicated interest in VSP direct support to enroll and complete VSP training and future job placement. FCCP’s Youth Engagement Specialist will provide 1 on 1 support to help with outreach, recruitment, enrollment and ongoing support to students during their VSP training. Enrolled students will be provided further support to address barriers that arise and pre and post completion VSP Professional Pathways training. FCCP’s partnership with VSP is a direct investment into Rancho Cordova’s workforce development and filling vacancy in Rancho Cordova. The goal of this project is to integrate opportunities for students to participate in VSP’s Professional Pathways. FCCP will utilize the data collected from our YCC participants’ Career Assessment Interest Profile, a self-assessment, career exploration tool that helps youth discover the type of work activities and occupations that are of interest to them. The Career Assessment fosters career awareness but more importantly reveals the top 3 areas of interest for a significant number of youth to be Social, Enterprising and Conventional leading to working and serving the people and careers with a need to be able to integrate rules and attention to details. Providing a direct avenue for youth to be able to pursue further information and training with VSP would allow them to further examine and inform their career trajectory. ●VSP Career Planning – FCCP staff will assist an additional 10 students with completing their Career Assessment and set up an intake orientation to learn about VSP to see if it is a viable career path that they would pursue. ●Enrollment and Youth Engagement – FCCP staff will assign a Youth Engagement Specialist to support their Application #50

2 FCCP has been operating youth and adult employment programs in Rancho Cordova for over twelve years. For the past six years, FCCP has operated a full‐service Job Center offering a wide range of employment support to Rancho Cordova community members.

This grant continues our successful extension of these services tailored to high school students by bringing the services directly to them. With transportation a major barrier for many of our students, bringing services into their high schools is a necessity. This project will receive strategic design and oversight by Robert Sanger and Shinder Gill. Robert Sanger has led FCCP as Executive Director for the past eleven years with a total fifteen‐year history with FCCP serving Rancho Cordova families and youth. He participates in the City’s Education Stakeholders Committee and many other endeavors to improve the quality of life for Rancho Cordova residents and student. Shinder Gill has over 20 years of experience working in family and social services and close to five years combined workforce and youth development experience having managed various youth and employment projects in Sacramento, in particular social and emotional development and research with at risk youth. The day‐to‐day project management will be conducted by Doris Cortez. Doris has worked in youth and employment programs for close to three years with training specific to working with high risk youth including foster youth, parenting, criminal justice involved and youth with disabilities and/or behavioral challenges. Primary onsite staff will include Victoria, Youth Mentor, with three years of experience in education, youth development and refugee youth mentoring and career exploration experience, in particular to underserved populations.

Project Goals
●FCCP will serve a minimum of 100 unduplicated high school youth in this program per year. This will be measured by sign in sheets at each Youth Career Center locations (Cordova, Walnutwood and Kinney High Schools). ●Career ExploraƟon ‐ 60% of youth will take Career Interest Assessments providing information about potential careers matching their interests and abilities. Upon completing these assessments students will research job openings, labor market information, and educational pathways in their areas of career interest. Career Interest Assessment information will be given to students and recorded in secure student Youth Career Center database to track areas of career interest for reporting and internship development. ●Pathway/Goal Seƫng – 60% of youth will receive assistance developing a My Action Plan (MAP) identifying short, medium, and long range goals and action steps necessary to pursue their area of career interest. The MAP will be given to students with a copy maintained by Youth Career Center staff to track student progress toward identified goals. ●Resume Development/Job AƩainment ‐ 70% of youth will receive training on resume development, interviewing skills, and job attainment including how to complete online applications and pre‐employment assessments. A minimum of 55 youth will develop a professional resume each program year. ●AdulƟng Workshops – A minimum of 30 youth will attend Adulting workshops and receive education related to financial literacy, healthy relationships, nutrition and understanding insurance. Youth will be pre‐ and post‐tested to measure gains. ●Employer Engagement ‐ FCCP will develop 20 new employer relationships sites per program year including educating employers about opportunities to partner with the high schools and employ students. ●Student Jobs/Internships – FCCP will assist students seeking internships or part time work to provide financial resources for themselves.

To Whom It May Concern:

I would like to express support for the Folsom Cordova Community Partnership’s application for the City of Rancho Cordova Community Enhancement Fund. This funding would allow the Folsom Cordova Community to continue to operate a Youth Career Center on the Cordova High School campus. The presence of a Youth Career Center on our school campus, housed in our College and Career Center in the CHS Library, has proved extremely beneficial to supporting our most disenfranchised learners.

With an expediential increase in the number of newly immigrated refugee students, the Youth Career Center has proactively worked to offer their assistance each week through dedicated services and supports which are truly invaluable to our team.

To date the Youth Career Center has served over 100 Unduplicated Youth and have had close to 300 Total Youth Visits to get assistance with resume development, interview preparation, career and college exploration, job applications and understanding employer expectations.

If awarded, the Folsom Cordova Community Partnership will continue to offer on-campus activities to expose student to a wider array of career opportunities, help them develop a more informed sense of their career direction and build a strong correlation between continued education and achieving their career goals. Additionally, the Youth Career Center will connect students with work opportunities in the local community including internships, job shadowing and part time jobs to help develop technical and professional skills for their future success.

I urge you to give this application your most serious consideration. Should you or your staff have any questions regarding this letter, please do not hesitate to call.

Project Information
Project Name
Financial Empowerment
Project Synopsis
FCCP will provide financial empowerment to residents of Rancho Cordova ages 16+ to increase financial literacy. The project will use an approved, CFPB Your Money, Your Goals curriculum to teach financial transformation and tools to make effective money and debt management to be able to have a healthy financial lifestyle. Improving financial independence and understanding debt and credit has a positive, detrimental impact on future financial health.

Project Description
Folsom Cordova Community Partnership (FCCP) was able to create a financial empowerment program through a pilot grant from the Office of Child Abuse Prevention (OCAP). Although this grant came to an end, it provided us with seed money to develop and adopt Consumer Financial Protection Bureau’s (CFPB) financial empowerment curriculum and tools to the unbanked and underbanked in our communities. We have created dynamic visuals, activities and handouts to provide a vibrant experience that addresses all learning modalities in multiple languages; English, Spanish, Farsi, Russian and adding Armenian, Hindi and Ukrainian. Each language series has specific adoptions based on cultural specifics regarding money and banking practices. We have piloted and administered this teaching series in both classroom and web-based modules as well as through one on one financial coaching.

Through this pilot period we have delivered financial empowerment education to over 200 community members.

We have been funded by Calmoney Smarts based on our success and demand for financial empowerment to serve an additional 80 participants throughout Sacramento. This project will allow us to increase our capacity further to serve and target specifically, 80 Rancho Cordova to receive a comprehensive financial empowerment curriculum and leading to financial independence. Financial Empowerment addresses the City of Rancho Cordova’s mission to support and value the development of youth and community members and provide opportunity towards economic advancement .

Project Team
FCCP for the past 11 years started and built and operated a full-service Job Center offering a wide range of employment support to Rancho Cordova community members. This grant continues our successful extension of these services tailored to Rancho Cordova residents by bringing the services directly to them. With transportation a Application #53

major barrier for many of our students, bringing services into the community, particularly underserved is a necessity. This project will receive strategic design and oversight by Robert Sanger and Shinder Gill. Robert Sanger has led FCCP as Executive Director for the past eleven years with a total fifteen-year history with FCCP serving Rancho Cordova families and youth.

The day-to-day project management will be conducted by Doris Cortez. Doris has worked in youth and employment programs for close to three years with training specific to working with high risk youth including foster youth, parenting, criminal justice involved and youth with disabilities and/or behavioral challenges. Primary onsite financial empowerment staff will include Micaela Cantu(Spanish language), Anna Kyrylyuk(Ukrainian & Russian language), Suman Makwana(HIndi) and Noune Manukyan(Armenian & Farsi).

Project Goals
FCCP will serve a minimum of 80 unduplicated Rancho Cordova residents in this program per year. This will be measured by registration and tracking during virtual module attendance. Provide “YOUR MONEY, YOUR GOALS” program curriculum to support positive cash, credit, and saving management skills. Provide The YOUR MONEY, YOUR GOALS utilizing the Digital Toolkit Provide in-person cohorts in the community and web-based delivery offering a culturally competent financial education program.

FCCP has a COVID worksite plan in place and regularly updates it in accordance with the Sacramento County Health Order and CDC guidelines. FCCP YCC is exploring google classroom and virtual platforms to integrate both synchronous and asynchronous learning activities strategies and continue to safely provide services and stay in compliance with CDC guidelines. FCCP is exploring virtual gallery walks for students to be able to create and display their career aspiration projects and work and have an opportunity to learn from their peer’s experiences and projects. FCCP will continue to stay informed in navigating the principles of change based on research.

Sacramento Splash ‐ Youth Environmental Leadership Camp (YELC) Project Synopsis
YELC is an immersive summer program for 6th/7th grade students. Campers will attend a 1‐week camp, M‐F from 8:30 a.m. – 5:30 p.m., in groups of 15. Youth will design and implement climate‐smart solutions aimed at improving air/water quality or natural habitats where they live. We will hold 4 camp weeks.

Project Description
YELC is an immersive summer program for 6th/7th grade students. Campers will attend a 1‐week camp, M‐F from 8:30 a.m. – 5:30 p.m., in groups of 15 where youth will design and implement climate‐smart solutions aimed at improving air/water quality and/or natural habitats where they live. We will be conducting 4weeks of camp. During the week‐long camp, each day will cover topics related to climate change including but not limited to: air quality, water, energy, transportation, food/consumption/waste, land use, and natural habitats. The campers will visit local sites for hands‐on guided experiences related to these topics. Campers will sample and collect data, gaining experience using some of the tools and materials that scientists and engineers use in their work. Campers will get the chance to engage with professional environmental scientists, engineers, social scientists, and environmental protection activists to learn about their careers and what they did to work in their specific fields of expertise. After the camp, Splash will convene YELC campers monthly in a 2‐hour after‐school club for the remainder of the 12‐month rolling year. Campers will work together on a team project that will have a positive impact on the environment and climate in their community. They will learn about project management, from identifying & defining a problem, to planning & budgeting, project implementation and measuring their success and impact. Throughout the process, they will have the support of mentors and staff. Splash will provide a small project budget for each team to use in implementation of their team project. Projects will be brainstormed, developed, and led by campers in groups of 4‐6. Mentors will guide the projects, and will also coach campers on their collaboration, engagement, listening and communication skills. This project is aligned to the following grant criteria: Children and Youth, Education, Community Pride, and Quality of Life.

2 YELC will be executed by the staff of Sacramento Splash. We will have 2 FTE working on the program during the summer camp weeks along with the assistance of 2 field guides. Throughout the school year, the 2 FTE we will be partnering with 12 volunteer mentors to assist on the monthly mentoring meetings with the cohorts and the different community projects. Mentors will be employees or retirees from SMUD, Regional San, City of Sacramento, the CA Department of Natural Resource and Department of Water Resources, and many other organizations.

Project Goals
Goal #1 (G1): Reflect the socio‐economic, racial and ethnic diversity of the greater Sacramento population, with particular emphasis on those underrepresented in the outdoors, science and engineering. Measure #1 (M1): Teachers from schools with disadvantaged populations nominate student candidates for YELC; Splash produces final list of 60 participants. G2: Local youth grow in a safe, supportive community while learning, working, and playing together. M2: Program evaluations at end of camp completed by students and parents. G3: Campers develop intellectual, physical and emotional connections with nearby nature. M3: Program evaluations at end of camp completed by campers and parents. G4: Campers understand how air and/or water quality impacts all life, how people impact these and how they can improve it. M4: Campers complete all camp activities, and their journal entries reflect impact. G5: Campers learn to conduct scientific investigations (observe, collect, measure, analyze, draw, document) and report findings for a local stream or aquatic habitat, as well as compare reference sites or historical data. M5: Campers’ reports are evaluated by Splash leads and professional mentors. G6: Campers learn to define a natural habitat problem, write and present a small project plan with budget, implement plan, and present the results. M6: Plan and Results reports will be reviewed by Splash lead staff & mentors with constructive feedback, plan and results report out will be presented to peers, Splash staff, and mentors.

Camper small projects must show improvement or projected improvement over a planned duration in the natural habitat involved.

3 We will be applying for grant funding from foundations and other municipalities. We will also be working to secure business sponsorships and, we will be reaching out to our donors on the Big Day of Giving and in our yearly appeal letter to assist with general cost of the project. In ongoing years, we will likely charge 25% of our campers who are not need based campers to help subsidize the costs of the program. But aim to ensure that 75% of campers remain subsidized and from low‐income communities.

In addition to providing the project timeline identified above, describe how you will be able to complete your project by June 30, 2023.

If grant funding is received, Splash would have completed the summer camp phase of YELC for the pilot year (Jun’22). We will have all planning and arrangements made the for the second half of the pilot year; the monthly mentor sessions (Jul’22‐May’23). We will have a schedule and a better understanding of when cohorts will be meeting and the types of projects the youth will be pursing by the start of this grant’s period. As we begin to plan the following year, we will review evaluations from the summer program portion and make adjustments to the 2023/2024 season. Partner teachers will select interested student candidates after their classes have experienced Splash's "Investigating Vernal Pools" and/or "Splash in the Class" programs, which are delivered between Jan‐Apr every year, as this is the most active and vibrant time for vernal pool habitats. Furthermore, YELC requires a significant initial camper time‐ commitment, so camps must start during the summer. Therefore, we will be tied to local school calendars as well as nature.

Please note, if selected for funding, you will be required to submit a narrative Outcomes Report and a financial Use of Funds Report at least two times during the grant period.

Yes, we would be able to operate our program if health options change. Due to the nature of our program, the camper group size is already small. If necessary, we could be able to provide virtual laboratory and field experience through live on‐line observation and measurement, including microscope use, with digital journaling.

Supplemental Document
Sacramento Splash – Youth Environmental Leadership Camp Last year Sacramento Splash applied for and received a community enhancement grant from the City of Rancho Cordova in the amount of $29,000 for the development of the Youth Environmental Leadership Camp (YELC.) YELC is an immersive summer program for 6th/7th grade students. Campers will attend a 1-week camp, M-F from 8:30 a.m. – 5:30 p.m., in groups of 10 (per COVID restrictions for Summer 2022) where youth will design and implement climate-smart solutions aimed at improving air/water quality and/or natural habitats where they live. We will be conducting 3 weeks of camp in Summer 2022.

During the week-long camp, each day will cover topics related to climate change. The campers will visit local sites for hands-on guided experiences related to these topics. Campers will sample and collect data, gaining experience using some of the tools and materials that scientists and engineers use in their work. Campers will get the chance to engage with professional environmental scientists, engineers, social scientists, and environmental protection activists to learn about their careers and what they did to work in their specific fields of expertise.

After the camp, Splash will convene YELC campers monthly in a 2-hour after-school club for the remainder of the 12-month rolling year. Campers will work together on a team project that will have a positive impact on the environment and climate in their community. They will learn about project management, from identifying & defining a problem, to planning & budgeting, project implementation and measuring their success and impact. Throughout the process, they will have the support of mentors and staff. Splash will provide a small project budget for each team to use in implementation of their team project. Projects will be brainstormed, developed, and led by campers in groups of 4-6. Mentors will guide the projects, and will also coach campers on their collaboration, engagement, listening and communication skills. Each Project Team will aim to complete its project within the program year. At the end of that time, each Team will present their project to camp staff, mentors, parents, and the next set of YELC campers. YELC will lay the foundation for - inspiring the next generation of scientists and environmental stewards who are dedicated to conserving energy and protecting air, water, and ecosystems from the impacts of urban life. All of this will take place while we are also teaching these youth leaders transferable skills that can be applied to any future career path.

During the fall, Splash’s CEO used her extensive network to identify potential YELC Development Team members and recruit those interested in helping develop this program. The Development Team that has now been formed consists of members of Splash’s Board of Trustees and staff, a former Board member, and local industry and climate/nature experts spanning a broad range of related backgrounds and experiences, and a retired Department of Water Resources Engineer. The Team documented a charter, which was approved by the Board of Trustees.

During the later fall into winter, the YELC Development Team identified the themes for each day of the immersive camp week: Climate Change/Air Quality, Energy/Transportation, Water, Food/Waste/Consumption, & Land Use/Habitat. The Team has explored other camps in the Sacramento and Bay Areas to understand what exists that focuses on environment/climate projects and/or leadership and contacted organizers for information that might help our efforts. We have defined overarching learning objectives for the Program and drafted a camp schedule of field trips to one or more sites relevant to each day’s theme, discussion topics, hands-on activities, speakers, and more. The Team is in progress on recruiting mentors for the program and has drafted Mentor Roles & Responsibilities.

We were able to establish a partnership with Paratransit who will be providing the transportation for the summer camp during the day. Funding for transportation was generously paid for by - Supervisor Don Nottoli.

The Team has also created communications/marketing-related materials including a flyer and online application for the potential campers. On March 8th, the application went live, and we are awaiting submissions.

At the time of our December grant update to the City, Splash has used $15,265.11 of the funding awarded. Roughly 100 hours have been volunteered by members of the Development Team to date. Splash has applied for numerous grants and has been awarded $30,000 from Regional San for the execution of the program over the summer. We have also received $11,000 in TOT funds from Sacramento County. We are currently waiting to hear from 5 additional foundations regarding grant applications.

We have recieved an in-kind donation of journals for the campers ($360 value), and we are awaiting to hear if we will be receiving additional in-kind donations of backpacks ($450 value) and lunches ($3,375 value).

The $45,000 of funding that we are requesting from the 2022/2023 Community Enhancement and Investment Fund from the City of Rancho Cordova will be used for the 2022/2023 YELC 2- hour after-school club and for the summer camp portion of the 2023/2024 camp year.

For the 2023/2024 summer camp year we plan on increasing the number of campers participating in the program from 30 to 60, and we will be operating the camp over a span of four weeks.

PROGRAM SUMMARY
Splash’s YELC is an immersive summer program for middle-school students. Splash will emphasize recruitment of campers from groups underrepresented in the outdoors and STEM programs. Campers will attend a 1-week camp, in groups of 10* (until COVID restrictions are removed), where youth will become change-agents who design and implement climate-smart solutions aimed at improving air/water quality and/or natural habitats where they live. Campers will learn about project management, budgeting, and project implementation through the support of mentors and staff while learning water management, pollution prevention, and watershed ecology. After the camp, Splash will convene YELC campers monthly in a 2-hour after-school club for the remainder of the 12- month rolling year, where mentors will guide students to implement projects. Mentors are community leaders, naturalists, and environmental professionals who will ensure campers deliver a positive impact within their community. YELC will lay the foundation for an on-going, youth-led movement to conserve energy and protect air, water, and ecosystems from the impacts of urban life.

WHY IS THIS PROGRAM IMPORTANT?
For many decades conservationists in Sacramento County have seen streams, vernal pools and other wetlands diminish and degrade, despite many federal, state and local laws and agencies designed to protect them. The world is quickly realizing that initiatives to implement projects that will aid in reaching carbon neutral goals will take massive efforts. Youth driven action will be critical to reaching the global goals to mitigate climate change. Over the years many climate-focused advocates and agency staffers have been working on these issues, yet many of them are retiring. Splash plans to identify and mentor young people to become the next generation of environmental leaders. This project will give students hands-on experience to identify air, water, energy, or other natural habitat-impacting problems and develop climate-smart solutions and ecosystem restoration projects. For example, they may work with their community leaders, Splash, and professionals to ensure that stormwater discharges from new development will not impact local creeks or vernal pools, plan a solar farm to supplement power and decrease energy costs, or create a park out of an empty lot. These are just examples of the limitless ideas that a camper may want to work on. Splash will support any climate-smart project a camper wants to implement. YELC will lay the foundation for an on-going, youth-led leadership movement while teaching these youth leaders transferable skills that can be applied to any future career path.

PARTICIPANT COUNT & DEMOGRAPHICS
• Estimated Number of Participants per week: 10* (until COVID restrictions are removed)
• Splash will emphasize recruitment of campers from socio-economic, racial, and ethnic groups underrepresented in the outdoors and STEM programs. This will be based on candidate nominations from teachers at schools in disadvantaged populations (especially Title 1 schools) based on higher rates of Free/Reduced Lunch data according to the school districts located in the region, focused on students who demonstrated the most interest in or benefit from Splash’s existing Programs, “Investigating Vernal Pools” and “Splash in the Class.” Also, the location of the schools will be a consideration to enable us to prioritize those school areas with less green space nearby.

PROGRAM DESIGN/DETAILED DESCRIPTION
YELC primarily targets providing expanded STEM learning, career-field exposure, and a project development, management, and implementation opportunity for middle-school students during summer and after-school. Youth will attend a 1-week summer camp at the Splash Center in Mather, in groups of 10, where they will learn water management, energy saving, pollution prevention, watershed ecology and more through lessons, assignments, field observation, collection, measurement, analysis, drawing, documenting, and reporting findings. This program integrates science, mathematics, engineering, writing, inquiry, and exploration. Campers will learn about project management, budgeting, and project implementation with the support of mentors and staff. Campers will have meaningful experiences outdoors, connecting with nature, something that an urban concrete existence limits and which was further limited by the increase in screen time caused by the Covid-19 pandemic’s requirement for distance learning. Campers will be helping improve the quality of life in their community both physically and socially and building connections that minimize the need for possible intervention, promote systemic social change, and will encourage and support them to thrive.

After the camp week, Splash will convene YELC campers monthly in a 2-hour after-school club for the remainder of the 12-month rolling year as the campers work in teams, collaborating to develop a climate-smart project focused on improving or restoring a natural habitat in their community. They will develop a project plan with budget, implement the plan, and present their project and its results at the end of the year to Application #54

their peers, professional mentors, Splash leaders, and to the next year’s incoming group of campers. The campers may work with community leaders, Splash naturalists, and other professionals along the way to ensure that they can deliver a positive impact to nature in their community, feeling the empowerment of success and service to others.

Campers will become change-agents and will be the foundation for an on-going, youthled leadership movement to conserve energy and protect air, water, and ecosystems from urban impacts.

Starting with youth who already have created a connection to nature and Splash will help campers be engaged initially, but we will also ensure activities during the camp week are both engaging and interactive. Splash will also do everything possible to ensure that the participants feel safe, welcomed, respected, and important to the Program and their communities. Campers will not just be recipients of information, but will be encouraged to actively take part with observation, exploration, inquiry, opinion, and prediction. By keeping the groups small, camp leaders will be able to be sure they have encouraged every camper to ask questions and/or be asked questions and to extrapolate what they learn. They will be supervised as they interact with nature, with the professionals mentoring them, and with each other, to ensure safety, encourage collaboration, and to help them reach the best outcomes with their projects and their Program experience.

During the year, camp leaders will stay in touch with participants not only through the monthly after-school sessions, but also through email, to ensure questions get answered and progress continues on all projects. We hope that our Program will develop in the participants an eco-centric mindset as well as place-based attachments that help them care about nature and their community, while introducing them to STEM careers that they could pursue.

PROGRAM PARTNERS
• Splash will recruit volunteer mentors through outreach and personal relationships.

SMUD, Regional Sanitation District, Department of Water Resources, CA Natural Resources Agency, CA Department of Fish and Wildlife, Go-Biz, along with other youth focused nonprofits such as Green Tech, Clean Start, Sierra Nevada Journeys, Soil Born Farms, Effie Yeaw Nature Center, and the American River Parkway Foundation. • Connections to UC Davis, Sacramento State and the Los Rios Community Colleges, along with working with Sacramento Vice Mayor Jay Schenirer will ensure mentors have experience working with youth within the region and with the communities which our program is targeting.

ORGANIZATION STATEMENT OF QUALIFICATIONS
Sacramento Splash is a non-profit organization dedicated to helping children understand and value our natural world through science education and outdoor exploration. We believe that all youth deserve the opportunity to learn and play in nature and our vision is of a generation of youth who take an active role in its protection.

Splash was started in 1999, but officially incorporated in 2008. We offer a variety of environmental science programs designed to introduce Sacramento area children to the wonders of science by teaching them about local habitats. We provide curricula and activities that make science relevant, engaging, and simply fun! We have also provided public nature tours of the vernal pools at Mather Field and of Morrison Creek for the benefit of children of all ages!
Splash is in a unique position to run the YELC Program and pass the torch of environmental stewardship to the next generation. Over our more than 20 years, we’ve built an extensive collaborative network with public school teachers, environmental educators and advocates, government agencies, industry, and developers. We've trained thousands of teachers and connected over 56,000 kids with nature. We have demonstrated to the region that we are committed to and effective at teaching handson science and the importance of protecting our natural resources.

Our long-standing relationships with teachers allow us to particularly access hard-toreach populations of students with barriers to the outdoors and STEM. We provide outreach to more than 200 public schools and 8 municipalities and hold special learning and awareness events in the community, tables at community events, STEM education nights at schools and interface regularly with regional funders at consortiums, conferences, and round tables (on hold during Covid restrictions).

Our staff, who will build-out the YELC Program activities and lead camp sessions have more than 40 years of experience between them, writing our curricula, coordinating our programs, and delivering our field trips (in-person and virtually). They regularly have been working with this age range and demographic, so they know well how to interact with and motivate them. They are all active naturalists and well-known, respected experts in the area.

We successfully pivoted during the pandemic to provide on-line curricula, class sessions, live web-cam, virtual field trips, and “Live from Critterville” experiences. We continue to get tremendous positive feedback from teachers and students alike, such as:
• “Not only did my class learn a lot, but I did as well. This generation is our future and it is important for them to see different parts of our ecosystem and how it is important to the area. One girl was sad to hear that only 5-10% of the Vernal pools still exist. She wants to grow up and make sure they are taken care of.” – 5 th grade teacher

• “One area of the 5
th grade Next Generation Science Standards related to matter in ecosystems that we strive to engage with is the human impact on our world. The "Splash in the Class" presentation gave my students a chance to apply what they had learned about a healthy ecosystem to our very own local streams and waterways.

Students were inspired by the presentation, coming away with not only a deeper understanding of their connection to the environment, but an interest in finding creative solutions to keep our watershed healthy and clean.” – 5 th grade teacher
• “I learned about the Western Spadefoot, most commonly found in vernal pools and grasslands. Sometimes, this toad will let out a fume of rosted peanuts and garlic, which will cause sneazing! I also learned how my family could stop urban runoff…we could find liter and pick it up or we could go to a car wash instead of washing <it> at a drive way!” – 5

I’m pleased to inform you that your request is approved and will be fully funded in the amount of $30,000, provided Splash meets the following conditions:

1. Splash staff will work with Regional San’s Public Affairs staff to collectively design a meaningful experience for the campers’ time at the wastewater treatment plant and Nicolaus Dairy.

2. Splash staff will provide pre- and post-camp surveys to gauge campers’ knowledge on key Regional San topics and issues. Splash staff will work with Regional San’s Public Affairs staff to craft these survey questions once we establish the campers’ planned experience at the wastewater treatment plant and Nicolaus Dairy.

3. Where appropriate, Regional San’s logo will be featured on any materials where other funding partners are recognized.

Funding in the amount of $15,000 will be issued upon Splash’s acceptance of the aforementioned conditions. The final $15,000 in funding will be issued once Splash completes the camps and provides Regional San the pre- and post-camp survey results. Regional San reserves the right to confirm funding is being utilized for the approved purposes.

If you have any questions regarding this funding approval, please contact Nicole Coleman at [email protected] or (916) 876-6246.

Project Schedule, Timeliness and Adaptability
Project Schedule
The project timeline is ongoing and part of a multi‐year request; some elements are subject to county and Los Rios covid protocols; however, in general the Promise students’ experience is guided by the following timelines: November‐August—Recruitment and application to the Promise program; the application for the Rancho Cordova Promise program opens in November of each year and remains open until the two weeks before the fall term begins. Calling campaigns for Rancho Cordova applicants to Folsom Lake College who have not filled out the Promise application launched in March, May, and July to ensure maximum access to the program for Rancho Cordova residents. August—Promise kickoff at the Rancho Cordova Center—Students receive a welcome to the Promise Program, information about their funding and Promise requirements, including how to maintain funding through their second year.

Also students attend orientations on various aspects of being a Promise student. August‐May—Promise students take 6‐18 units (of which 6 units must be with FLC) primarily with FLC but where appropriate with the other three Los Rios Colleges as well. In addition to taking classes, students receive support from peer mentors and other staff associated with the Promise program.

In addition to providing the project timeline identified above, describe how you will be able to complete your project by June 30, 2023.

While some refinements to the program are new, Folsom Lake College has been administering the Promise Program since 2017 and has the team and infrastructure in place to support students through June 30, 2023.

3 Please note, if selected for funding, you will be required to submit a narrative Outcomes Report and a financial Use of Funds Report at least two times during the grant period.

Folsom Lake College and the City of Rancho Cordova have collaborated since the beginning of the pandemic to ensure that Promise students continue to not only receive the education which the project is funding, but also the support necessary to be successful as online students. Examples of adaptability include not only moving all students to the online modality at the beginning of the pandemic, but also providing chromebooks for those Rancho Cordova Promise students who needed technology. In the program’s third year, the college moved to extending Promise support to veterans. Additionally, the college has made changes in the ways funds are distributed as a result of collaborating with the city of Rancho Cordova in the National League of Cities cohort city program.

Rancho Cordova/Folsom Lake College Promise Program—Program Description:

This project is a continuation of the Rancho Cordova/Folsom Lake College Promise Program whereby recent high school graduates who are Rancho Cordova residents receive funding for tuition, books, fees, and supplies. For those students who are not eligible for a California Promise Grant or Los Rios Promise grant, the funding would cover their tuition and fees. For those who qualify for one of the aforementioned grants, the Rancho Cordova Promise would provide “first dollar” aid for books, supplies, and basic needs in the amount equivalent to students’ unit load. In essence, Rancho Cordova residents taking anywhere from 6-18 units would receive Promise support as participants in the Rancho Cordova/Folsom Lake College Promise Program.

In addition to its support for new students, Folsom Lake College proposes to continue offering support to Veteran students who are Rancho Cordova residents using the same funding parameters outlined above. Further, the college proposes to extend eligibility for the Promise program to students who are retraining/refining career skills because of pandemic displacement.

Fall 21 data shows 20 new Rancho Cordova students whose goals are noted as updating career skills or pursuing a career education related certificate. As part of its expansion of the Promise program, Folsom Lake College will offer support to new students from Rancho Cordova who are pursuing career education certificates or updating job skills.

As noted above, the means of dispersing funds to Promise students is being refined as a result of a survey of Promise students administered by Folsom Lake College’s Office of Institutional Research and as a result of Folsom Lake College’s participation in the National League of Cities program with the City of Rancho Cordova. In the survey, some students expressed challenges getting books directly from the Folsom Lake College bookstore while participants in the National League of Cities program learned of postsecondary education students’ challenges with things like basic needs and transportation. To that end, Folsom Lake College will pivot from establishing funds for books and supplies in the college bookstore to providing students with a grant so that books and supplies can be purchased from other sources, and students will have funds available for other financial needs.

To build further on refinements made since the program’s inception, Folsom Lake College will continue its Promise peer mentoring program whereby up to ten students from each first year Promise class will be selected to serve as paid peer mentors for the following year’s incoming class at a rate of $15/hour for 12 hours per week for 32 weeks per year. For the 2022-23 academic year, Folsom Lake College will support peer mentors with existing funds. This mentoring program aligns with best practices outlined by the Northern California College Promise Coalition, an organization with which the college has partnered in the 2021-22 academic year.

To ensure the Promise students stay on track and reach their goals, Folsom Lake College will employ a Center Student Personnel Assistant who is partially funded by Promise funds. This team member’s duties will include:

Application #55
ITEM 12.4. ATTACHMENT 3

Page 2478 of 2762 ends

● Outreach
● Recruitment of new Promise students.
● Tracking of student progress.
● Communication with current and potential Promise students ● Recruiting Promise peer mentors.

The duties associated with this position align with best practices discussed in the National League of Cities program as well as with resources provided by the Northern California College Promise Coalition and the Campaign for College Promise. Further, it was a request of respondents in the fall Promise survey.

Continued funding of this program will help to ensure that Rancho Cordova residents have continued access to virtually fee-free postsecondary education in coming years. Even with interruptions to instruction brought on by the pandemic, the Rancho Cordova/Folsom Lake College Promise program has continued to provide educational access and support to hundreds of Rancho Cordova residents, giving many who had not considered college a viable option the opportunity to pursue higher education. Indeed, some of the students from the earliest Promise cohorts have already transferred to four-year schools, and some have completed their four-year degrees. Survey respondents in the fall survey noted that such achievements would likely not have been possible without the support of the city of Rancho Cordova.

Project Information
Project Name
The Kiwanis Family Literacy Initiative(FLI) of the Book Buddies’ Club Project Synopsis
“The family that reads together, succeeds together” is the motto of the Book Buddies’ Family Literacy Initiative (FLI) of the local Kiwanis Club. Through a vibrant, multi‐agency network, Kiwanians engage the broader community in promoting reading at home, while giving books to local youth, of whom many live in poverty.

Project Description
The FLI helps families to embrace reading at home as a way to compensate for the negative impact on learning that the pandemic has had, especially for at‐risk children in our community. Our Kiwanis Club will expand its family literacy focus in order to help families to overcome any deficits children are experiencing because of COVID and distance learning. The FLI will strengthen the capacity of children and youth to succeed in life through literacy and education. Literacy is a core skill vital to personal and professional fulfillment. The FLI engages young people, their families, and the community in activities that encourage reading and strengthening literacy skills. By providing free books to local children and youth, the Kiwanis Club of Rancho Cordova creates and expands home libraries for youngsters. By providing information that promotes reading at home and embedding other family literacy activities within family‐focused community events and programs, the FLI broadens the impact and visibility of our club’s and community’s commitment to family literacy. The FLI will continue to distribute books through schools in Rancho Cordova, and will now include two Sacramento City USD campuses in this initiative: A.M. Winn and Abraham Lincoln Elementary Schools. We propose to connect through schools’ ASES After School Programs, Book Vending Machines, and other school‐based programs and events, as determined by the schools. We will also partner with the Rancho Cordova Police Activities League (PAL) and the Cordova Community Council (CCC) to do outreach through their programs and activities.

Project Team
FLI is staffed by the volunteers of the Kiwanis Club of Rancho Cordova. Club members develop the funds needed, purchase books and coordinate the distribution process, maintain all financial and book distribution records, provide all required reporting, and promote the project and its funding and outreach partners. FLI committee co‐chairs are Nora Stroke (the 2021‐2022 Kiwanis Club President) and Linda Burkholder (Kiwanis Club member and a Past President). Committee members include Cindy Cogil, Kathleen Application #57

Project Information
Project Name
Studio T Arts ‐ Side Hustle Academy
Project Synopsis
We created Side Hustle Academy in late 2020 as a response to the pandemic. Through a six‐figure grant from the city of Sacramento, we were able to build all necessary infrastructure for the program and test and refine our process across 75 youth in multiple cohorts. In addition to our training curriculum and youth‐business partnership curation, we provide participants with up to three months of ongoing support to help them complete projects and monetize their new skills. Through years of program experience with difficult‐to‐serve populations, we have learned that these youth already have deeply entrepreneurial tendencies. By focusing those instincts through the lens of professional experience and training that meets them where they are, we unleash their talents and provide them with the skills to enter high‐demand career paths with incomes that allow them to escape generational cycles of poverty.

Project Description
Our program is designed to break the pattern of poverty within Rancho Cordova’s low‐income communities by providing underserved youth career opportunities that promote long‐term economic growth, while also supporting local small businesses in the transition to a digital world. By leveraging a model successfully piloted under a grant from the City of Sacramento, we will match 6‐12 youth with local small businesses in order to create positive outcomes for both groups and to expand on the support we began as many Rancho Cordova small businesses are not only in need of content, but brand development for e‐commerce . Studio T will provide youth participants 120+ hours of digital marketing curriculum and training, then pair them with small businesses hit hard by the pandemic and still struggling to establish a digital presence. Our participants will utilize digital expertise and innate talents to build online branding and marketing campaigns for up to 6 small businesses in the City of Rancho Cordova. By providing workforce development opportunities for youth and economic development in the form of increased revenue to small businesses, we will enhance Rancho Cordova’s community with a leveraged investment that benefits city residents for years to come. Our youth are already experts in the world of digital content. Studies from Pew Research and Common Sense Media show teens spend over 7 hours per day consuming content on screens. Low‐income youth spend, on average, two hours more than peers from high‐income households. Youth keenly discern the difference between quality content and design that will work and content that will not. This makes them a gold mine for content creators and focus groups for shaping what works online. With the heavy impact of COVID‐19 Application #58

2 on our youth workforce and our small business community, we seek to enhance youth employment opportunities while helping small businesses reboot, rebrand, and relaunch in the digital community.

Project Team
Tamaira Sandifer, affectionately known as “Miss Tee” by thousands of youth nationwide. Many of the families Miss Tee and her teams serve face poverty, hunger, and a systematic lack of opportunity, she has made it her daily work to include financial education, life and social skills training, and entrepreneurship coupled with real‐world skill development and enthusiastic empowerment. As the creator of the distance learning platform‐PassToClass.com and Side Hustle Academy, her impact exploded across the country serving 192,000 youth and 7,800 educators nationwide during the pandemic. Sandifer built a Sacramento‐based Social Media Production Studio to support local small businesses with digital content support during COVID while training youth apprentices in creative‐based entrepreneurism: video production, photography, graphic design, event production (virtually and live), and social media management. She was recently named ‘Woman of the Year’ 2022 by Assembly Member Kevin McCarty and the California Legislative Women’s Caucus, and was also recognized by Forbes Magazine among the inaugural For(bes) The Culture 50 Champions list "Introducing the Black and Brown leaders making the most impact through their capital, creativity, connections and commitment." Amanda Sanchez ‐ Graphic designer, web developer, and content creator who utilizes her 20 years of experience to support the Studio T community as both a vendor and volunteer. As the mother of two aspiring dancers, she recognized the positive impact dance has on youth and was inspired to offer her award‐winning skills to help the organization. In 2019, with Sanchez’s help, Studio T conceptualized PasstoClass.com, a distance learning website. Her technical knowledge and sleek aesthetic made it possible for teachers to supplement their P.E. classes with dance. Driven and dedicated, her efforts have enabled thousands of kids to access Studio T’s quality educational content.

Project Schedule, Timeliness and Adaptability
Project Schedule
Our project schedule occurs in three phases: Phase 1 ‐ Planning & Recruitment (30‐60 days post‐award notice) Phase 2 ‐ Youth Training & Development (60‐90 days) Phase 3 ‐ Business Campaign Execution & Evaluations (60‐90 days) PHASE 1 ‐ PLANNING & RECRUITMENT After the grant award, we will execute initial logistics, contract negotiations, and other miscellaneous items. Our focus for this period will be spreading the word to partner agencies so that youth candidates can be nominated for the program.

Within 60 days, we would confirm youth participants and begin the training cohort. PHASE 2 ‐ YOUTH TRAINING & DEVELOPMENT Once youth are nominated and selected, we would begin the training academy program. Participants attend 2‐3 hours of live training (initially planned as virtual, in‐person when safety allows) and complete 8‐10 hours of self‐paced content each week.

Content outline is below. ‐ Practical Workforce development: Skills assessment testing, leading a team, accountability, Customer service expectations, goal setting. ‐ Branding: Teaching the value and types of brands. Allowing the students to identify different aspects of a brand and discover what makes a brand successful. ‐ Strategy: How to understand if you are winning – Defining campaign goals, objectives and measurements of success. (ie: # of likes, # of sales, # of followers…) How to effectively market the campaign. ‐ Platforms: Understanding social media platforms (FB, IG, SC, TT, YT) and their respective audiences and missions. When and how to use, optimize, algorithms, A/B test, metrics, consumer interaction, formats for images and video, and peak traffic times. ‐ Media Design: Developing eye‐catching graphics & engaging video (scripting, graphic design, photo‐editing, animation, camera basics, and editing basics) PHASE 3 Youth would be matched with their small business partner, and campaign planning and collaboration would begin. Post Campaign Evaluations
In addition to providing the project timeline identified above, describe how you will be able to complete your project by June 30, 2023.

Flexibility is built into the project at multiple points, for example, an extra 30‐day buffer in the month of December. A sample month‐by‐month schedule is below; however, we are prepared to condense the academy and business project timelines if unexpected time constraints occur. JUNE/JULY 2022 ‐ Award notifications received. Phase 1 begins. SEPTEMBER 2022 ‐ Phase 2 begins, 12 weeks of training for youth participants at 8‐12 hours/week JANUARY 2023 ‐ Phase 3 begins, youth participants paired with small business clients. MARCH 31 ‐ Target date for client project completion, followed by two months of additional support for participants. JUNE 1 ‐ All client projects have been completed for 30 days or more, evaluations completed, additional youth coaching concluded.

Please note, if selected for funding, you will be required to submit a narrative Outcomes Report and a financial Use of Funds Report at least two times during the grant period.

Side Hustle Academy was built as a COVID response program and operated with our first 75 youth participants in a completely virtual environment. The digital nature of the work makes it possible for youth to work with their matched small business client completely virtually or in person. In addition, they can participate in all live training provided by Studio T via Zoom and our production studio. While we hope to be able to work with these youth and small businesses in person, we are fully prepared to operate remotely.
