The Book Buddies Club Goes Interactive!
Project Synopsis
The Book Buddies Club boosts childhood reading and positive behavior by placing a book vending machine at the Rancho Cordova Youth Center (RCYC) and giving books to schools with these machines.
Project Description
Kiwanis Club of Rancho Cordova’s Book Buddies Club expands home libraries by freely giving books to young people in many ways, including at community events and afterschool programs, while encouraging family literacy activities. We have recently supported school‐based book vending machines, as they dispense books chosen by young people as earned rewards for positive behavior. By placing a book vending machin
e at the RCYC, the Book Buddies Club and the City’s CEIF, will bring book ownership to more local young people, while rewarding their active and positive engagement in RCYC programs. The CEIF grant will purchase and place a “wrapped” book vending machine at the RCYC and will stock it with at least 250 books of particular interest to the diverse young people of Rancho Cordova. The wrap will feature the logos of the CEIF and the Kiwanis Club of Rancho Cordova Book Buddies Club, thus showing the partnership between our organizations to support liter acy for our community’s children, youth and families. The CEIF grant will also buy books to supplement those available for book machines at five local schools. And, the grant will fund a portion of the QR‐coded stickers we place in each book. The QR code leads to resources on family literacy located on our Kiwanis Club’s website.
The Rancho Cordova Police Activities League (PAL) and the Boys and Girls Club, which oversee programs at the RCYC, will select criteria by which youth will earn tokens to “buy” books from the RCYC machine. Thus, in addition to promoting literacy, the earn
ing of tokens will promote positive youth development. Strengthening literacy among children and families is a vehicle for improving the quality of life. Installing a book vending machine at the RCYC and helping to supply book vending machines at schools, is an exciting way for youth to choose their own book which they’ ve earned through their positive actions.
Project Team
Volunteers of the Kiwanis Club of Rancho Cordova are providing leadership and coordination on to this project. Key participants include: Linda Burkholder, Nora Stroke, Ashley Hill, Kathleen Ross, Deborah Barrell, Larry Ladd, and Dee Cee Lee. The Kiwanis Club of Rancho Cordova collaborates with the following to implement various aspects of the Book Buddies Club: Folsom Cordova USD, Sacramento City USD, Elk Grove USD, the Rancho Cordova Police Activities League, The Boys and Girls Club, The Cordova Community Council, and the Cordova Recreation and Park District. In addition to this application for a CEIF grant, we are currently developing proposals for grants to expand our Book Buddies Club out reach from: Kiwanis (International) Children’s Fund, Kiwanis Cal‐Nev‐Ha Application #65

We also plan to apply to the County of Sacramento Transient Occupancy Tax Grant Program to fund other youth leadership activities which we support in Rancho Cordova, such as the Cordova High School Key Club, the PAL Youth Leadership Council’s “Youth in Leadership Roles” Book Club, etc.
Project Goals

By October 31, 2023 collaborate with PAL and the Boys and Girls Club to define the criteria for yo ung people to earn RCYC book vending machine tokens. f. By September 30, 2023, purchase and distribute at least 100 books to each of the five FCUSD schools (at least 500 books total) with book vending machines in Rancho Cordova. g. Once the vending machine is installed at the RCYC, we will monitor and docu
ment the distribution of book machine tokens to young people.

3 We will initiate purchasing procedures for the books, stickers, tokens and vending machine in July 2023. Our goal is to have the book vending machine purchased and installed at RCYC by December 31, 2023. This timeline is contingent upon the book vending machine company being able to produce and deliver the machine within th at timeframe. The project will be fully implemented by June 30, 2024.
In addition to providing the project timeline identified above, describe how you will be able to complete your project by June 30, 2024.
We have identified the Global Vending Group as the source of the Bookworm Book Vending Machine, professional wrap, and machine tokens. Global Vending Group delivers and installs the machine. The purchasing of books is done in bulk online typically from three sources: Scholastic, First Book, and Usborne Books. Once received, the books are stickered and or ganized for distribution to each location. We do not anticipate any challenges to securing the books we need for timely completion of the project.
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.
Will you be able to adjust your project if California Public Health and/or Sacramento County Health Orders change? For example, the program could operate virtually or with other modifications made. Please describe.
We will adjust based on any unanticipated health emergency orders that result in the closure of schools or the RCYC.

Dear Ms. Delaney:
I am writing this letter in support of the application by the Kiwanis Club of Rancho Cordova, for a CEIF grant to install and equip a book vending machine at the RCYC. A book vending machine at RCYC would benefit the youth we serve there in several ways. The youth would earn tokens they will use to select a book they can keep. This strategy promotes literacy, as well as rewarding positive behavior and participation with PAL activities at the Center. We believe this incentive would also encourage even more young people to come to the Center for its various youth development activities.
We also support the proposed provision of books for the book vending machines on five local school campuses. The schools are using the book vending machines as a reward component of their positive behavior program. PAL believes, as do the schools, that encouraging positive behavior in young children and youth, is an effective way to prevent young people from making bad choices because of the risk factors they may be experiencing in their lives.
Thank you for considering the Kiwanis Club’s application for a CEIF grant to continue their work to promote literacy among our young people.
Sincerely,
Deputy Jason Kimbrell #965
Rancho Cordova Police Department
PAL Coordinator

Project Name
Suvidha International Foundation‐ Speech & Debate Programs Project Synopsis
The proposed educational Program will help elementary, middle and high school students and resident students (grades 4 through 10) of Rancho Cordova City with speech and debate training programs.
Project Description
The speech and debate programs will provide the students with valuable skills that they will use for the rest of their lives, including but not limited to researching, writing, critical thinking, organization, persuasion, conflict resolution and communication proficiency.
These educational tools are necessary in every part of our lives and successfully mastering th em at a young age will allow the participants to utilize them in their day‐to‐day activities. Whether it is online or in person, the skills (researching, writing, critical thinking, organization, persuasion, conflict resolution and communication) will help them articulate their opinions in a constructive format, delivering their thoughts in a clear and concise ma nner. They will also communicate with peers their own age, develop a level of confidence in themselves, and leave a positive impression upon the people around them. The program will engage the students and the skills acquired will help them excel in their academics and place them on a straight pat h to becoming successful future leaders in politics, business, law, academics, entertainment, and many other fields. According to the Stanford article, “The Power of Speech & Debate Education,” (https://snfi.stanford.edu/skills), there are lifetime benefits for students who commit to speech and debate programs. Forbes published an article titled “How to Fin d the Millennials Who Will Lead Your Company,” (https://www.forbes.com/sites/robertsher/2014/03/02/how‐to‐find‐the‐millennials‐who‐will‐lead‐your‐ company/?sh=3d697bc37178), which suggests that the leaders of the future are ex‐debaters. The speech program will provide a foundation for various types of speech, categorized as oratorical, persuasive, impromptu, dramatic, humorou s, and poetic. The debate program will provide an overview of different styles of debate, categorized as Parliamentary, Public Forum, Lincoln‐Douglas, Spontaneous Argumentation, Team Policy, and Cross‐Examination.

Project Information
Project Name
Suvidha International Foundation‐ Ranchobot Challenge 2024 Project Synopsis
The proposed Robotics Program will help elementary and middle school students (Grades 4 through 8) of Rancho Cordova City in designing and coding the robots to perform specialized real world operation Project Description
The program makes the students engage in STEAM subjects, hones their computer programming skills and creativity, and develops engineering skills, leadership skills and presentation skills. These skills will also help students in excelling their regular academics and make them successful engineers in cutting edge career spaces such as aerospace engineering, computer science, medicine, and automotive ma
nufacturing. The proposed Robotics Program is the continuation of previous calendar year. The first year program students will have entry level training while the previous year students will have more in‐depth training including transporting items from start place to other designated locations and other missions. The program will co ntinue to use previous year’s robotic gear for current year training. The program will also facilitate team building activities through youth empowerment and stress‐management program for students. Many students experience emotional issues such as low self‐esteem, depression, and anxiety due to academics, peer pressure, financial challenges, and family expectations, th at are a source of great stress, which inhibits their learning. Unless there in a healthy alternative, students often turn to unhealthy strategies to cope with these problems including smoking, alcohol or drugs, aggression and violence, and withdrawal from social interaction. As students learn to reduce stress and manage emotions thro
ugh interactive fun games and activities, they gain ability to build more positive relationships with their peers, parents and coaches and can be great team members. The students also gain the ability to focus and perform well academically at school. The program will hire the professional training team, SKY Schools to co nduct the team building training. The impacts of program are available at https://skyschools.org/impact/. The project falls under Education, Children & Youth, and Community Pride categories.

Studio T Arts & Entertainment ‐ Side Hustle Academy
Project Synopsis
Breaks the pattern of poverty within Rancho Cordova’s low‐income communities. Provides underserved youth career opportunities that promote long‐term economic growth, and support local businesses.
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 demonstrated under grants from the Cities of Ranc ho Cordova and Sacramento, we will match 12 youth with local small businesses to create positive outcomes for both groups. Studio T provides youth participants with 180+ hours of digital marketing curriculum and training. They learn to build online branding and marketing campaigns. In the process, they learn entrepreneurism, leadership, comm unication, and business management. Studio T leverages its connections within the City of Rancho Cordova, the local business community, and the arts and entertainment world to create opportunities for youth and small businesses. Having tested the program with in‐person service delivery (post‐COVID), the addition of pop‐up locations allows our participants to engage with the community , network directly with small business owners, and provide services to struggling small businesses at locations where they are most needed. As participants progress in the program, they learn to monetize their skills, mentor and train others, and step into leadership roles in the program, within the communit y, and on the job. 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.

Project Name
Full STEAM Ahead: Science Literacy through Field Experiences Project Synopsis
Robert J. McGarvey Elementary School is proposing to provide all our students as well as our families with relevant science, technology, engineering, arts, and math (STEAM) learning experiences.
Project Description
There are two essential elements of this project: 1) Every student in grades TK‐6th (about 860 students) will have the opportunity to attend a grade level appropriate STEAM field trip to an interactive science center such as Monterey Bay Aquarium, Starbase Academy, Alliance etc. and/or to participate in an on campus ha nds ‐on science activity such as the ones offered by the Lawrence Hall of Science and Sierra Nevada Journeys. 2) All RJMES families will be invited to attend an evening Family Science Night designed to inspire parents to discover science together with their children. McGarvey serves over 860 TK‐6th grade students in the sout hern Anatolia and Kavala Ranch housing developments. RJMES is a place where student inquiry is a guiding principle for our faculty. Our children are involved and curious, and our school is a place where learner profile values are taught and valued. In addition to strong character and academi c programs, families are attracted to the strong sense of community that prevails on campus. As a year‐round school, we offer activities twice to be inclusive of children on all schedules. The intention is to use these activities as a springboard for generating lasting interest in sciences, particularly among girls. The McGarvey Elem entary parent community takes an active role in the school through elected positions on the Parent Faculty Organization (PFO) and School Site Council, raising and donating funds and supplies, volunteering in classrooms, chaperoning field trips, helping organize student activities like our Yearbook Club, and encouraging environmentally friendly school transporta tion by organizing the Active4Me walk and bike‐to‐school program. Our PFO strongly supports our school wide initiatives focusing on STEAM; in particular, those that stimulate girls to become actively engaged in STEAM related activities.
Project Team
RJMES teachers and administrators will establish partnerships with STEAM organizations such as the Monterey Bay Aquarium, Alliance Redwoods Outdoor School, Explorit! Science Center, and Sacramento Splash. RJMES teachers and administrators passionate about science will organize the in‐school events and Family Science Night, while all classroom teachers will take part in organizing the field trips with support from our school
secretary. Direct school site supervision will be provided by Mrs. Erin Metcalf, RJMES Vice Principal, ensuring safety, security and quality instruction for all students. There will be no fees for these programs except the Application #71

2 cost of transportation, but positive parent permission will be required for all participating students. Mr. Robert Aikman, RJMES Principal, will provide overall administrative oversight to the program, ensuring program and fiscal accountability for grant funding.
Project Goals
Education research clearly documents that STEM education positively affects student learning in a wide range of content areas other than mathematics and science, and increases social/emotional development among children. We know that when children are involved in meaningful learning experiences, they are more engaged they are in school. We also know that children’s attitudes abou t science may be improved when schools provide a climate in which all students have the opportunity to succeed, learn and grow in ways that are unique to their own strengths and interests. This seems particularly evident in the development of STEAM interest among girls. For these reasons, we have selected changes in stude nt knowledge and attitudes towards science among participating students and families as measures of the program’s positive impact on student learning. We propose the following measurable goals for the STEAM project: Student’s interest and knowledge of the grade level material they engage with will improve as measured by pre‐ and post‐tests
of student participants. Participation and participants attitudes towards STEAM will improve, as measured by pre‐post surveys of all participants (adult and child). Particular focus will be on the attitudes of female participants.

Project Information
Project Name
A Day in the Life of Rancho Cordova ‐ Filmmaking Program.
Project Synopsis
“A Day in the Life in Rancho Cordova” is a filmmaking program where students can learn the basics of filmmaking and enhance their storytelling skills. Prof. filmmakers work directly with the students Project Description
Professional filmmakers work directly with students to produce a no shorter than 20 minutes, and no longer than 30 minutes short documentary on a subject of interest to the student, either directly with a student one on one or in groups of up to five students (preferred). The students are guided through the pro cess from beginning to end ‐ "From Concept to Delivery" aided by filmmakers, writers, and editors who do this for a living. However, the students are in total control of their film, no editorial input would come from the facilitators who are there to guide the students through the development and prod uction process. All students dive deep into the filmmaking process by learning about screenwriting, storyboarding, production, cinematography, sound, editing, and much more. Examples of films students can develop: • “A Day in the Life” of a local Rancho Cordova landmark, building, history of the city, or past public figure who was born in their town . • “A Day in the Life” of a Rancho Cordova public figure such as a sports star, film or TV personality, or business leader who lives or works in the student’s town. • “A Day in the Life” of Rancho Cordova leading figure living in their neighborhood or town, i.e. The Police Chief, The Mayor, a local business leader, a School principal or teacher, A Pastor, or even their parents. • “A Day in the Life” of how the pandemic affected the students. Perhaps find a local Rancho Cordova resident who had a particularly hard time. • “A Day in the Life” of a R ancho Cordova artist or theatre company. • “A Day in the Life” of a Rancho Cordova outdoor park, leisure areas, or an activity held in their town. • “A Day in the Life” of an animal shelter or Rancho Cordova foodbank Unlike other similar prog rams, “A Day In The Life of Rancho Cordova” will produce a film festival that allows ALL of the students to showcase their work on the big screen! Students will also be given a flash drive contacting their projects.

2 Concept to Delivery" aided by filmmakers and staff for The California Capital Film Office who will be taught to work as a team, set deadlines and goals, and take ownership of a completed project. “A Day in the Life of Rancho Cordova” film festival will be organized to show every film made in the pro gram. Students can invite family friends and peers to showcase their work. After each screening, the group of students who made that film would give a short presentation as to how they came up with the idea and discuss the filmmaking process A panel of three judges made up of three notable people, i.e. The Mayor, a notable film producer, and perhaps a TV journalist would choose 1st 2nd 3rd place winners. Prizes awarded will be solicited through sponsorship by the California Capital Arts Foundation. A ceremony for the winning students is held at City Hall, and the awards are presented by the Mayor and/or Police Chief. All the films will be entered as an official entry into the California Capital Documentary Film Festival. The films would be included in the festival screening program and shown as part of the festival.

Sacramento Children’s Museum’s Free Field Trip Program for Title I Elementary Schools in Rancho Cordova Project Synopsis
Sacramento Children’s Museum requests $15,000 to provide free Museum field trips for 400 students at Title I elementary schools in Rancho Cordova for the 2023‐24 school year.
Project Description
Field trips to Sacramento Children’s Museum (SCM) are a hands‐on, immersive experience where students are encouraged to explore and think creatively. During their 90‐minute visit, students can play with and learn from all our exhibits, which include STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math) discovery spaces, an art studio, a theater st age, and a pretend‐play neighborhood.
Unfortunately, field trip fees and bus costs prevent many schools from visiting, especially Title I schools that serve low‐income students. In the City of Rancho Cordova, there are 8 Title I elementary schools. Free field trips would increase opportunities for these underserved students to benefit from SC M’s educational exhibits. With the City of Rancho Cordova’s support, SCM will host free Museum field trips for up to 15 Title I elementary school classrooms in Rancho Cordova for the 2023‐24 school year. We anticipate serving 400 Rancho Cordova children in Grades Transitional Kindergarten‐2. A $15,000 grant would pa y for each class’s field trip fee and bus transportation costs. Funding also would go toward related Museum staff costs and program supplies. This project supports two of the City’s funding priorities: Education, and Children & Youth. A visit to SCM will deepen students' understanding of STEM, literacy, and art
concepts that they are learning in the classroom. Further, these field trips will be a “first” for many students. Due to COVID‐19, many children were unable to visit SCM due to school and Museum closures. Additionally, during the pandemic, infants and toddlers spent most of their earliest years at home, with limited opportunities for social interaction and play‐based learning.
These children are now school‐age, and a field trip to our Museum would not only be educationally enriching but also fun! We look forward to partnering again with the City of Rancho Cordova in our endeavors to inspir e and support children in need with imaginative play and boundless learning.
Project Team
SCM’s Education Director Rachelle Ahmad oversees our Museum’s Field Trip program. Rachelle will be responsible for connecting with Title I Elementary School teachers in Rancho Cordova about this free field trip opportunity. SCM’s Reservations Coordinator Marisol Rafanan is in charge of scheduling school field trips. She will coordinate and book field trip dates with teac hers for this program. SCM’s Customer Service Supervisor Sarah Dauenhauer supervises the Museum floor during our field trips. Sarah will be present on the floor during field trip visits and will assist students and teachers with exhibits and answer any questions. SCM’s team Application #74

2 of Play Facilitators ensure students and teachers have an engaging and safe Museum experience during each field trip visit. The Play Facilitators will greet the class when they arrive, help students with art projects and exhibits, and positively interact with students through play. These staff members also are responsible for Museum set‐up and clea n‐up before and after each field trip takes place.
Project Goals
The overall goal for this free field trip program is the same as our Museum's mission: to spark a passion for lifelong learning! Our program objectives are the following: 1) Increase access for local underserved students to engage in learning‐centered play at SCM.
By the end of the 2023‐24 school ye ar, we anticipate serving 400 students (up to 15 classrooms) at Title I elementary schools through free field trips. Additionally, each student will receive a free admission pass to visit the Museum at a future date ‐ we anticipate at least 20% of participants will visit us again using these passes. 2) Expan d students’ knowledge of foundational concepts in the arts, literacy, and STEM. 3) Stimulate children's creativity and critical thinking skills. We will measure the success of Objective 1 by recording the number of students who attend each field trip and the number of students who utilize their free admission passes. We will measure the success of Obje
ctives 2 and 3 through observations of student engagement during the field trips and online teacher surveys. The online teacher surveys ask teachers whether the exhibits align with their classroom curriculum, how their students benefited from the field trip, and ways that we can enrich future s chool visits.

3 timeframe. May 23, 2024: Project end date ‐ All field trips will be completed by this date, which is the last day of school in the Folsom Cordova Unified School District's 2023‐24 calendar.
In addition to providing the project timeline identified above, describe how you will be able to complete your project by June 30, 2024.
SCM’s staff will reach out to teachers early in the school year to ensure that the 15 field trips are scheduled within the timeframe mentioned above. In past years when we were able to provide free field trips for Title I elementary schools thanks to funding from other grant sources, we received a strong positive response from teachers. We expect that we will be able to book all of our field trip slots for this free field trip program by December 2023.
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.
Will you be able to adjust your project if California Public Health and/or Sacramento County Health Orders change? For example, the program could operate virtually or with other modifications made. Please describe.
Yes, we would be able to adjust our Museum’s free field trip program if state and/or local Health Orders change. We are closed to the public on Mondays and typically offer private Museum field trips to groups of 30 or more on this day. To be proactive, we will schedule as many classes on Mond ay to ensure that if state and/or local Health Orders change in the future, each class would still be able to visit since they would not be in contact with other guests. If Health Orders restrict classes from visiting our Museum altogether, we would offer a Museum in‐class experience with our Van Go Mobile Muse um as an alternative. Van Go Mobile Museum is SCM’s school outreach program where Museum educators travel to schools and transform classrooms into a mini museum. Each session begins with a brief introductory lesson followed by exploration and play time at several hands‐on exhibits and activity stations. Stud
ents learn STEM and art concepts through hands‐on engagement, just as they would inside our Museum! Project Location

The Snake Conservation Center in Rancho Cordova seeks to conduct public tours of our facility to educate community members 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. A
ccording 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 woul d 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 ma intaining 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 and increase interest in our global wildlife conservation efforts by introducing them to the education and outreach programs of our Snake Conservation Center.
Project Team
Founded in 2017, Save The Snakes is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that leads and supports snake conservation programs around the world. In 2022, we opened the Snake Conservation Center in Rancho Cordova (3100 Fite Circle, STE 101, Sacramento CA 95827).
This facility serves as Save The Snakes’ international headquarters and allows our organization to co nduct our education and community outreach programs in California, including providing snake education at local community events, presenting at schools, and conducting our venomous snake training courses for first responders, wildlife biologists and other professionals who encounter venomous snakes as a part of their jobs. The Snake Conservation Centers is a operated an d managed by volunteers of Save The Snakes. To date the Snake Conservation Center has been closed to the public, but our organization seeks to offer monthly public tours of our Snake Conservation Center. Our aim is to successfully educate our local community members in Rancho Cordova about snakes fo
und in the Sacramento area, which will build awareness and understanding of snakes, reduce snakebite, and lessen conflict between humans and snakes.

2 Project Goals
By holding public tours of the Snake Conservation Center, our program 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 program will educate community members on the ecological importance of snakes, identification of venomous vs non‐venomous snake s pecies, 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 public tours will receive educational materials that are innovative and interesting to increase interest in snakes, but also to provide snakebite safety. Durin g the presentations, Save The Snakes will use educational tools such as snake specimens and live snakes to create interest in snakes. By introducing community members 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 twelve months, Save The Snakes will hold twelve monthly public tours of the Snake Conservation Center, which will educate 750‐1,000 community members. During public tours, we will survey participants about the concept of a permanent location for the Snake Conservation Center, which woul d be open to the public.
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 conv
ey the importance of snake conservation and habitat preservation to communities.

The purpose of this initiative is to revive JROTC internal programs that were dormant or nonexistent for years. By developing cadets through leadership‐based activities.... SEE ATTACHED
Project Description
In 1993, Mather Field was selected for base realignment and closure. This unfortunate event devasted the local community with the loss of 7,600 jobs and $150 million in annual income. The city of Rancho Cordova bore the brunt of this devastation leaving a significant economic void, as well as a loss of military presen ce that once shined bright. As years progressed the city was able to rebound, however the military presence did not regenerate. Fortunately, our JROTC unit stepped into the empty space by providing military centric decorum. The unit has engaged in numerous civic events ranging from support of the local VFW to visiting el ders in centers for adults. From the beginning, community service has been an integral part of the unit, however much of the success was tapered when the unit closed in 2020 due to personnel transfers and the emergence of COVID‐19. Additionally, our fundraising efforts were slow, but we co ntinuously make efforts to secure funding for equipment to support cadet‐lead programs. The grant will allow our unit to gain lost ground by supporting numerous program shortfalls. It is our belief that the JROTC program offers young people valuable lessons in leadership, character‐building, and citizenship affecting the community in a positive manner by serving as a
catalyst for growth and prosperity.

Outdoor Science Trips for Rancho Cordova Elementary Schools Grades TK‐5 Project Synopsis
Sending TK‐5 grade students on science based Field Trips.
Project Description
FCUSD would like to bring more STEM focused field trip opportunities to our students. Our project benefits the community by offering STEM based educational opportunities to our students. This is a growing, high‐demand area of study that has the potential to create substantial economic benefits for our children and community. “The study found th at, regardless of gender, ethnicity or socioeconomic status, youth who take educational trips have better grades (59 percent), higher graduation rates from high school (95%) and college (63%), and greater income (12% higher annually). In fact, 89% said educational trips had a positive, lasting impact on their education and career beca use the trips made them more engaged, intellectually curious and interested in and out of school.” ‐National Education Association, NEA

oject Description
FCUSD would like to bring more STEM focused field trip opportunities to our students. Our project benefits the community by offering STEM based educational opportunities to our students. This is a growing, high-demand area of study that has the potential to create substantial economic benefits for our children and community. “The study found that, regardless of gender, ethnicity or socioeconomic status, youth who take educational trips have better grades (59 percent), higher graduation rates from high school (95%) and college (63%), and greater income (12% higher annually). In fact, 89% said educational trips had a positive, lasting impact on their education and career because the trips made them more engaged, intellectually curious and interested in and out of school.” -National Education Association, NEA Pr

Project Information
Project Name
Sacramento Splash | Youth Environmental Leadership Camp (YELC) Project Synopsis
YELC will engage youth in local environmental issues, where they will learn how to protect air, water, energy, and ecosystems from the impacts of climate change and from suburban development.
Project Description
The Youth Environmental Leadership Camp (YELC) is a program with two components: an immersive summer camp and a 5‐month mentoring and volunteering program. Campers will learn about the environmental career opportunities that are available to them and they will become directly involved in community enhancement efforts in their own neighborhoods. Splash is seeking fund ing for the 2024 camp portion of YELC. Youth will attend a 1‐week summer camp at the Splash Center in Mather. Each week will support 15 campers, with 60 campers total for the 4 weeks of camp. Campers will learn about water management, energy saving, pollution prevention, and watershed ec ology. This curriculum will be delivered through participation in daily field trips and field observation to nine different Sacramento area locations. Through this process, campers will learn about collection, measurement, analysis, drawing, documenting, and reporting findings. Eighteen different business partners or organizations will speak and facilitate the lessons at many locations acro ss the Sacramento Region. After the camp, Splash will meet with YELC campers monthly in a 2‐hour after‐school club for five months, through November 2023. During this time, campers will be required to participate in at least two volunteer events with identified partner organizations to deliver a positive impact within their community. This will include events such as tree plantings, creek cleanups, and volunteer work with other nonprofit organizations. Campers are also going to be required to conduct a personal fundraising campaign for one of the organizations (not Splash) with a $40 minimum goal. It is our ho pe that YELC will lay the foundation for an ongoing, youth‐led movement to conserve energy and protect air, water, and ecosystems from the impacts of urban life. The entirety of YELC programming is aligned with the following grant criteria: Children and Youth, Civic Engagement, Education, Community Pride, and Quality of Life.
Project Team
YELC is made possible by the staff of Sacramento Splash, who work tirelessly to make the camp an engaging and fun‐filled experience for all involved. Additionally, volunteer mentors will partner with small groups of campers to help them carry out their own volunteer opportunities (such as creek cleanup or tree planting events). YE LC would not be possible without the support of partner businesses and organizations that host campers for their field trips.

ations. G2: Local youth grow in a safe, supportive community while learning, working, and playing together. M2: Program evaluations at the end of camp completed by students and parents. G3: Campers develop intellectual, physical, and emotional connections with nearby nature. M3: Program evaluations at the 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. Camper 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 identify a need in their community and work with an approved organization to attend two volunteer events (s uch as creek cleanup or tree planting events) that benefit their community. Campers also carry out a personal fundraising campaign for their volunteer organization with a minimum goal of $40. M6: Campers complete at least two volunteer projects and raise at least $40.00. All campers will present their YELC experiences to their fellow campers in November 2024.

Splash continuously seeks funding from other municipalities as well as public and private organizations such as SMUD, Regional San, and the County of Sacramento. Splash also has a robust donor base who generously participate in fundraising events such as the Big Day of Giving and our end‐of‐year campaign.
Project Schedule, Timeliness and Adaptability
Project Schedule
July 2023 to November 2023: Once per month, YELC attendees will meet with their mentors for 2 hours after school to work towards their volunteer and fundraising goals. Camper presentations will be in November. October 2023 ‐ Splash begins program redevelopment and re‐evaluation for Summer 2024. December 2023 ‐ YELC students graduate from the pro gram. January ‐ March 2024: YELC outreach to participating teachers will begin. March‐April 2024: Applications for Summer 2024 will be available March 2024. Participating teachers nominate student candidates for YELC and submit those students for consideration. April 2024: Splash will review and score applications and select campers. May 2024: Splash will finalize the camp pro gram, camp schedule, and the list of participants. Students undergo pre‐assessment screenings. June 2024: YELC commences! Students attend camp for 1 week (8 hours/day x 5 days). There will be a total of 4 sessions in 2024.
In addition to providing the project timeline identified above, describe how you will be able to complete your project by June 30, 2024.
If funded for the 2023/2024 season, Splash will have just completed the summer camp phase of YELC for its second year. The months following the immersive summer camp experience will include a 2‐hour after school meeting once per month, where mentors will guide campers toward meaningful volunteer experiences. Campers will have complete d their volunteer requirements and presented their experiences to their YELC cohort in November 2023. Once the 2023 season has been completed, Splash will have monthly planning and development meetings to plan for another successful YELC season in 2024. YELC applications will open in March 2024, announcing the summer camp dates for each week of June 2024 . Campers will be selected in April 2024 and final preparations for YELC will begin! 60 campers will participate in an immersive, hands‐on summer camp throughout the month of June, thus completing the project year.
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.
Will you be able to adjust your project if California Public Health and/or Sacramento County Health Orders change? For example, the program could operate virtually or with other modifications made. Please describe.
YELC is already designed to function with California Health and/or Sacramento County Health orders in mind. Our group size is very small and the vast majority of YELC field trip activities take place outside where there is plenty of air ventilation. Splash is prepared to enforce social distancing and masking measures, should the y be required. Additionally, Sacramento Splash is well‐versed in holding virtual classes and camps, as that is how we were able to bring environmental education to students during the height of the COVID‐19 pandemic. If California Health and/or Sacramento County Health orders changed and prohibit in‐person events, YELC will be transitioned to a digital mo
del where campers will have virtual laboratory and field experiences that include live online observation and measurement, microscope use, and digital journaling.

To Whom It May Concern:
I am writing this letter to express my appreciation for the Sacramento Splash program. I am a teacher in the Elk Grove Unified School District and have had the pleasure of teaching this program to my students. I can honestly say that in my 22 years of teaching, the Splash program was by far the BEST science curriculum I have had the pleasure to teach.
Never have I had students beg me to do science, but when I started teaching the Splash curriculum, students would ask when the next lesson and/or activity was coming up. If, for some reason, a Splash lesson wasn’t in my lesson plans, my students would get upset! That’s how engaged they were with the program and how much fun it was for them. The curriculum was a lifesaver for me as an educator because it was well organized, easy to use, and involved minimal prep work. After attending an in-depth training session at the Splash Education Center, I was aware of the components of each lesson and felt prepared to implement the program in my classroom. The training helped me understand the content that was being taught as well, which was helpful because beforehand, I had little knowledge about our watershed or local vernal pools.
Once I began teaching the Splash lessons, I saw how meaningful and memorable the curriculum was for students. This program fosters a sense of exploration and curiosity. From growing fairy shrimp, to researching critters and flowers, to making critter and flower commercials, my students were thoroughly engaged and excited about all the activities. Their very favorite part, though, was the field trip to the vernal pools. To see their faces light up when they found their real, live critters and flowers was priceless. I also had several students remark after the trip that they had never spent a full day outside in nature before. What a revelation that was for me! The program also encourages diversity because all students are included in every lesson and activity.
In the past few years because of Covid, I’ve seen many students who have struggled with their emotional and mental wellbeing. I believe that spending time in nature and learning about the local environment can be very healing for students. I remember how happy my students were that day at the vernal pools, and how relaxed they seemed. At the end of the school year, the students reflected on their best memories, and an overwhelming number of them said the Splash program and field trip was the best part of their year.
I cannot emphasize enough how wonderful the Splash program is and how grateful I am that I am able to use it in my classroom. I have helped other teachers at my school site begin implementing the curriculum in their classrooms as well, which I feel honored to do. To borrow from Splash’s mission statement, this program really does “help children understand and value our natural world.”
Sincerely,
Caroline Goodnight

ATTACHMENT 4
2 Up to 15 nonprofit organizations will complete the Rancho Cordova Certified Sustainable program and be able to increase the number of people they serve and demonstrate the efficacy of their work to improve quality of life, economic prosperity, education, civic engagement, and community pride in Rancho Cordova. Community‐based organizations working within the social determinants of healt
h will prove the ways they increase capacity of Rancho Cordova residents to fully participate in the local economy. Graduates of Certified Sustainable will be more efficient in their use of resources, and more expansive in their ability to attract financial and in‐ kind support of their missions. The gradua ting organizations will be better partners to local government agencies, local businesses, and local investments made in their work. By building the capacity of our nonprofit sector, we build the capacity of our most vulnerable neighbors to live a more healthy life, reducing public costs and increasing the tax base of the communit y. A strong nonprofit sector will lead to a better educated workforce, more people fully participating in the local economy, making less use of public assistance and contributing more to Rancho Cordova's growth. An investment in nonprofits serving the diversity of Rancho Cordova will bring more equity into vulnerable neigh borhoods and more hope for family resiliency. Certified Sustainable organizations run better as businesses, and engage their Board leaders more effectively, as well.

Project Information
Project Name
Strengthening Families
Project Synopsis
Strengthening Families is a SAMHSA‐approved program that offers evidence‐based strategies for enhancing family relationships, improving communication, and reducing risk factors that contribute to ment Project Description
Over the past ten years, the Strengthening Families program (SFP) has supported over 200 Folsom Cordova Unified School District (FCUSD) families. Each school year, FCUSD offers one SFP session in Rancho Cordova, CA and one SFP session in Folsom, CA through a privately funded grant. The social‐emotional impact of COVID‐19 is evident in our school community and there has been increased interest from Rancho Cordova families to join the program. Unfortunately there are wait lists to join the sessions, and families report difficulties attending sessions. This project aims to expand the number of sessions of the Strengthening Families Program (SFP) adding multi
ple locations in Rancho Cordova so more families can access this program. The Strengthening Families program is delivered through a series (10‐14) of 2‐hour workshops or sessions that are facilitated by trained professionals and/or volunteers.
This program can support children ages 6‐11, and children ages 12‐16 in higher risk famil ies‐ along with parents/guardians. For children younger than six, childcare services are available. These sessions are preceded by a meal that includes informal family practice time and group leader coaching. SEE ATTACHED

Project Goals
Goal 1:The primary goal of the program is to build stronger family bonds by enhancing family relationships, communication skills, and conflict resolution abilities. This can lead to more stable and supportive family environments, which could improve children’s emotional well‐being, school attendance, academic performance, and social skills. This can be done by hosting sever al SFP sessions per school year throughout the Rancho Cordova Schools within FCUSD: Cordova Meadows, Mitchell Middle School, Mills Middle School, and Cordova High School. In the past, this program was offered one time per school year in Rancho Cordova and one time per school year in Folsom. Historically we have had families on the waitl ist to participate in SFP, we are requesting Measure H funds Application #80

2 to accomplish expansion of the program in Rancho Cordova. Goal 2: Preventing risky behavior: By educating parents and youth about the consequence of risky behaviors such as substance abuse, and delinquency, Strengthening Families Program aims to prevent or reduce such behaviors among adolescents. This could result in lower juvenile crime rates, fewer stude nts marked as chronically absent from public education, and a healthier community overall. Goal 3: Reduce stress and increase resilience.

2 Project Description Describe the project in detail and how it benefits the community based on the City’s Community Enhancement & Investment Fund guidelines and selection criteria. If you need more room to answer the question, please attach a separate document to your application.
Over the past ten years, the Strengthening Families program (SFP) has supported over 200 Folsom Cordova Unified School Distr ict (FCUSD) families. Each school year, FCUSD offers one SFP session in Rancho Cordova, CA and one SFP session in Folsom, C A through a privately funded grant.
Th
e social-emotional impact of COVID-19 is evident in our school community and there has been increased interest from Rancho Cordova families to join the program. Unfortunately there are wait lists to join the sessions, and families report difficulties at tending sessions. This project aims to expand the number of sessions of the Strengthening Families Program (SFP) adding multiple lo cations in Rancho Cordova so more families can access this program.
Th
e Strengthening Families program is delivered through a series (10-14) of 2-hour workshops or sessions that are facilitated by trained professionals and/or volunteers. This program can support children ages 6 -11, and children ages 12- 16 in higher risk families - along with parents/guardians. For children younger than six, childcare services are available. These sessions are preceded by a meal that includes informal family practice time and group leader coaching.
The program is designed to be interactive and collaborative, with participants encouraged to share their experiences and provide feedback to each other. The program typically consists of a set of core modules, which cover key topics such as communication, conflict resolution, parenting skills, and relationship building.
In addition to these core m odules, the program may also include supplemental materials and resources, such as videos, handbooks, and worksheets. Sessions may be delivered in a group in- person format or virtual depending on the needs and preferences of the participants. SFP meets the US federal agencies’ standards for evidence-based prevention programs, and is culturally sensitive rather than culturally specific. Per session, there is a maximum capacity of 20 families or 80 participants.
The Strengthening Families program (SFP) can benefit the Rancho Cordova City’s Community Enhancement & Investment Fund (CEIF) guidelines through the following selection guidelines: Quality of Life, Public Safety, Children and Youth, and Education.
1. Alignment with CEIF focus areas: Quality of life- SPF promotes healthy families and children, improving community safety and security, and enhancing quality of life in the community.
2. Evidence -based approach: SFP is evidence -based and has been shown to be effective in improving family relationships, reducing risky behaviors among youth, and improving child well -being. This aligns with the CEIF’s emphasis on supporting programs that are evidence-based and have measurable outcomes.
3. Collaborative approach: SFP emphasizes a collaborative approach between families, service providers, and community organizations. This aligns with the CEIF’s focus on promoting collaboration among community stakeholders to address community needs.
4. Sustainability: SFP emphasizes sus tainability by building strong local partnerships and leveraging community resources. This aligns with the CEIF focus on supporting programs that are sustainable over the long -term. In partnership with FCUSD, and regional prevention services, the SFP program can be delivered sustainably.
Overall, the Strengthening Families program can be a valuable asset to the CEIF’s efforts to enhance the well -being and quality of life for the residents of Rancho Cordova, CA. If anyone is interested in attending the program to see it in action, we can make arrangements to support that. Please contact Amanda Turkes.

She shared that before the program she and her husband were considering getting divorced and that they were at a point where there was no communication between them. The situation was so tense at home that it was affecting the kids and the family as a whole. Because of the SFP, Mrs. Pulido and her husband were able to communicate better and they started working things out. They were giving themselves a chance to save their relationship and they started noticing a change in their kids' behavior. She said that the kids were doing better in school and making an effort to improve. For me, personally, this was not only a rewarding experience, but confirmation that the program works as long as we make the effort to apply it and are willing to make some changes.”

Project Name
Fitrah Youth Workforce Development
Project Synopsis
Fitrah empowers vulnerable youth aged 16‐25 in Sacramento County by promoting stability, independence, self‐sufficiency, social solidarity, and community engagement.
Project Description
Fitrah serves historically underrepresented communities in Sacramento County, providing resources to prevent vulnerable youth from falling through the cracks. The social enterprise's main project is an online thrift bookstore run and managed by vulnerable youth, empowering them financially and professionally. The project engages youth in their own solution and uses the proceeds to support them financially. Fitra
h's Job For Youth project places 32 youth in income‐generating e‐commerce jobs while providing financial literacy training and 10 weeks of life skill coaching to build their confidence, decision‐making, strategic thinking, stress management, and goal‐setting skills for future education and employment opportunities. Fitrah's projec t not only empowers vulnerable youth but also fosters community engagement and social solidarity by connecting residents, local youths, and businesses with volunteer opportunities like book drives and donations. 70% of volunteers are youth aged 12‐20 from local schools in Folsom‐ Cordova, and 3 out of 7 donation drop‐off locations are in Ran cho Cordova provided by community members. During the first four weeks of Fitrah's six‐month program, youth gain work experience at the social enterprise and receive a stipend, teamwork, feedback, and leadership opportunities. After four weeks, structured workshops and individualized case management teach financial capability, healthy relationship s, goal setting and help youth achieve career milestones like acquiring an ID, setting up a bank account, learning about credit, crafting a resume, touring colleges, and getting job interviews and internships with the support of youth organizations such as Pro‐Youth and Improve Your Tomorrow.
Project Team

Project Goals
Measuring impact is crucial for us to know if we are achieving our goals of empowerment. One of our methods is for self evaluation of each youth by themselves and their peers after each shift on several key indicators and competencies that we strive to achieve.
These include: attendance and punctuality, professionalism, engagement, dependability, safety, respect, teamwork, taking initiative, giving and receiving feedback, setting and achieving goals, leadership, problem solving. ‐Our target indicator for success is for 75% of our graduates of our program to have improved in their self assessment at the end of our program for at least 7 of the 12 key indicators At the end of each of our workshops, a survey will be comple ted by each youth participant. ‐Our goal is for 75% of our youth to have learned at least 2 skills related to healthy relationships through the “Love Notes” program that Pro‐Youth will lead.
And 2 skills from the financial literacy workshops. ‐Leverage community re sources to support and empower vulnerable youth: by
involving new volunteers in our social enterprise program through the use of the volunteer central portal through City of Rancho Cordova and engaging the community in increasing our inventory of donated books/merchandise through book drives to reach 10,0
00 books in our inventory. (each book drive generates approximately 1000 books‐we need 10 book drives) Fitrah helps participants of our program measure success through regular follow‐ups for up to two years. Students are expected to earn a high school diploma and be actively engaged in work and/or educ ation for up to 30 hours/week. We measure productivity as a key metric for success‐ helping young people to take the skills and habits learned in the Core Social Enterprise Program and apply them in the workplace or in furthering their education.
