Free Yoga Classes for Rancho Cordova Residents ‐ Movement at Heart Craft Studio Project Synopsis
Heart Craft Studio seeks grant funding to offer one free yoga class to all residents of Rancho Cordova through out Movement program at Heart Craft Studio.

Project Description
Heart Craft Studio is a growing creative community space that provides unique opportunities to connect, create, explore, and be inspired, on an individual level as well as a broader community level, with an emphasis on radical inclusion for artists of all ages and abilities. The studio has grown immensely on a conservative, in dependent budget in the year and a half since opening doors, and now seeks funding to improve and expand upon our existing operations and community impact. In our first year and a half of business, we have successfully launches our creative classes, special events, community events, and studio shop. In the Summer of 2022, we continued our planned trajectory to expand into offering our Movement program, providing a new studio to deepen one’s connection with the self in turn inviting more inspiration into one’s life. We recently partnered up with Explore Rancho Cordova ‐ a program within the Chamber of Commerce to welcome new residents to our cit y with fun events, freebies, and swag bags full of Rancho Cordova goods! We first teamed up to provide creative kits to be included in their welcome swag bags, but have since become their welcome freebie sponsor for the year by offering a free yoga class to each new resident in R ancho Cordova! We are also donating the studio to host the New Resident Reception next month! We are applying for the Rancho Cordova Community Enhancement and Investment Fund to help support us in offering a free yoga class not only to new residents, but to ALL Rancho Cordova residents in ou
r community!
Project Team
The current team at Heart Craft Studio has been responsible for the delivery of offering all of our services. We are actively hiring additional certified yoga and movement instructors to help facilitate existing classes and expand upon our current movement schedule. We are also actively hiring studio assistants to help check in guests, clea n/sanitize, and provide general customer service.

We are also hiring a marketing specialist to help build community awareness of our offerings.

Project Goals
Offering a free yoga class to every Rancho Cordova resident will take intentional action to build awareness and provide enough opportunities to redeem this offer. We currently offer three classes per week ‐ our goal is to add more classes to our movement calendar to four‐five classes per week by Winter of 2023. To do this, we will be hiring a dditional staff to help support an increased Application #45

2 schedule and facilitate operations. Our current attendance numbers are about 10% capacity across our Movement classes (<1student per class). Our goal is to increase attendance to our classes to 30%‐50% capacity (3‐5 students per class) by Winter of 2023 across our expanded calendar of 4 classes per week, with goals to further increas e capacity (with a goal of 4+ students per class) throughout 2024. To achieve this, we will enact mailer campaigns, relative advertising, and continue to build relationships with other local programs like Explore Rancho Cordova, Sacramento Free Day of Yoga, as well as our relationships with other small businesses, to spread more aw
areness about our Movement program. We closely monitor our data and analytics across our platforms, and will continue to do so to monitor the progress of community engagement. We also have a team appointed to monitor our budget and oversee our improvements and timelines.

Project Schedule
Hiring of certified instructors and studio assistants is currently active, and will be ongoing throughout 2023. Our Explore Rancho Cordova mailers have already started making their circulation. Another round is set to go out each month, with roughly 200‐300 new residents each round receiving a free yoga class card. We will continue to meet our goal of providing these cards for this program as needed through the duration of our partnership with their program. We will be participating in Sacramento Free Day of Yoga again this year, which falls on Labor Day every year. Our goal is to send out our mailer campai gn in early‐mid August of 2023 to the Application #45

3 surrounding community to promote Sacramento Free Day of Yoga so that not only does our community get a free yoga redemption card with their mailer, they will also be able to participate in an ADDITIONAL free yoga class on that free day as well! We plan to add a fourth yoga class per week to our calend ar as soon as possible, with a tentative goal of sometime between Summer and Fall of 2023. We feel confident that our services will gradually grow to meet these goals, establish self‐sustainability, and begin plans to then exceed these goals independently by the Summer of 2024.

In addition to providing the project timeline identified above, describe how you will be able to complete your project by June 30, 2024.

My team and I are already actively working to improve and meet the goals stated above. With our current budget and funding, our growth is slower and heavily dependent on community participation in our other offerings to help build out these business enhancements. Without funding, I anticipate it would take us two years to execute the se improvements and expansions on opportunities. If selected for funding, this assistance would speed up our process to create more feasibility in accomplishing these goals within the 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.

Heart Craft Studio is unique in the sense that it was a business born in the pandemic. We took into careful consideration things like social distancing, OSHA guidelines, and all safety protocols in our effort to navigate gathering together again in this new normal.

From its conception, we have built in back up pla ns and pivots to provide creative opportunities under a variety of circumstances ‐ virtual live/recorded yoga classes, as well as smaller, distanced class sizes/layouts are all part of our back up plans, and have been ready to enact if needed.

Project Information
Project Name
Jr Lancers Reorganization
Project Synopsis
I am hoping to make the Jr Lancers a better community program, and attract new players and families to our community through youth sports excellence.

Project Description
Our youth sports programs will serve the community by offering a more robust player experience than the organization has previously known. We are looking at ways to better cycle players through our seasons and new off‐season training programs. To do this we need to completely outfit our team with all essential safety gear , and training equipment that will help keep them safe during practice and in the games. We also want to strive for excellence with out coaching and leadership staff, that’s why I want to offer the best training that we reasonably can offer. This will not only help give our pl ayers better training, it’ll help the organization by giving coaches incentives, and allowing us to start recruiting a better quality coach than just the parents that step up. Finally, Rancho Cordova as a community has suffered for decades from a poor reputation. One based in some truth, but a lot of speculation and misinformation.

We have an opportunity to help change minds every time we host guests from other communities. Cordova High School has the good fortune of being located next to Hagan Park, and the beauty of the area is impressive. I think by applying a thin coat of veneer to the situation we ca n accentuate that feeling of surprise in what Cordova offers. It's an older community, but it has a lot to like about it. I believe that giving our players and parents a better football experience will result in more HS, college, and even professional players coming out of Ra ncho Cordova. It doesn't take much, the bar has been set pretty low in previous seasons, doing anything would be a move in a better direction than what we've had.

Project Team
I have assembled a board of directors. I have 4 executive members, and 6 associate members. I also have access to community volunteers and a workforce that is dedicated to making sure our kids receive nice things. Should I need additional assistance finding people in our community to follow‐through, or that are trustworthy sh ouldn’t be an issue. https://rcjrlancers.org/content/456/Board‐of‐Directors
Project Goals
We’ve already started. I now have enough inventory to field a league full of players with home and away jerseys, pants, and helmets.

I would like to give the city some of our costs annually, and in return we can lower our enrollment fees. For football we charge almost $500 with deposits. I have nicer equip ment and we need a higher deposit fee to cover that. It would be nice to get that down Application #48
ITEM 3.1.

ATTACHMENT 3

2 to $300 or so with deposits. Cheer is in a similar situation. I want to establish a football program in Rancho Cordova along the lines of what I've seen at Folsom, Granite Bay, Woodcreek, Jesuit, Whitney, and some of these schools that have very well thought out programs that integrate perfectly as a feeder program for th e HS. Our kids can tell the difference between Cordova and Granite Bay even when it comes to how they introduce the players. I believe matching what they are doing not just in terms of training and coaching, but in how they celebrate and present themselves. This is going to help elevate our community pride as well as our skill. A decade of dominance doesn't just happen, you need feeder programs that can deliver players that have already experienced the best in the region. I can supply a league for players to be challenged by top regional schools. I want to make ou r players and community feel like they belong at that level of play, and generate the loyalty to our youth sports that I believe will carry into the next levels of play. If we can create wonder and amazement in our players at this level, they will be excited fo r what comes next.

Project Schedule, Timeliness and Adaptability
Project Schedule
I would be able to make purchases immediately. The schedule is to deploy equipment as we receive it, and make payments to services once we can get funding secured. Ideally we can spend about 80% of our ask immediately, and deploy it to our staff and players. Services such as reconditioning will happen as soon as fall fo otball ends. That equipment must go out before HS and college football end in order to be received before spring football starts.

In addition to providing the project timeline identified above, describe how you will be able to complete your project by June 30, 2024.

It's pretty straight forward. There's not a lot to do other than get equipment and services and direct that to the appropriate place.

We cannot operate virtually unfortunately. We can wear masks if required, but keeping distance and working remotely doesn't work in youth sports.

Item Quantity Item Cost Total Cost Description Justification Category Sports Insurance 1 $3,000.00 $3,000.00 Fee for insurance plan for football This is an annual cost that would be very helpful if the city could help us cover. Administration Player packs 350 $100.00 $35,000.00 Cheer and football player packs These are items that are given to the community each season. For summer this would be shorts, shirts, mouth guards, wrist coaches, personalized practice gear, socks. For cheer exclusively that is pom poms, shoes, bows, and under linings.

Players consume these items each season. This would be for our summer and spring leagues. In spring we'd replace shirt and shorts with sweat pants and a sweater. It is very cold, and players could use warmth before we hand out gear.

Even a partial donation to this equipment would be very beneficial to our organization.

Athletics
JAMZ cheer camp 80 $120.00
$9,600.00 Admission to JAMZ cheer camps
This will enable us to participate in the region JAMZ cheer camps. Making this available to our cheerleaders will enable them to be more competitive, and attract more players to the sport. As it stands this would be a large part of enrollments, and attaching this to cheer enrollments would make it very expensive for the community to participate.

Cheer
JAMZ cheer events 80 $104.00
$8,320.00 Admission to JAMZ cheer competitions
There are 2 JAMZ cheer competitions in norther California. Other organizations attend both of the nearby competitions. Attending both competitions would bring our program on par with neighboring communities, making Rancho a more competitive option for youth cheer.

Cheer
Choreographer 1 $2,500.00
$2,500.00 Cheer Services This is to cover the costs of a choreographer service to come out and arrange routines for our teams.

Cheer uniforms 82 $350.00
$28,700.00 Cheer uniforms that we loan out
We have a need for cheer uniforms. Currently we put it on the parents to supply uniforms. This makes cheer quite expensive for most families. I'd like to reduce costs to make us a more appealing option. Part of that means lowering cheer enrollment fees. Allowing us to establish ourselves with uniforms would mean we could start the cycle of ordering things ahead of time, rather than waiting for enrollments to get in, ordering things late into the season, and sometimes not getting equipment before deadlines.

Cheer
Event Tents 2 $2,000.00
$4,000.00 Event Equipment
These would be 20'x10' event tents with our logo and website printed on them.

We need one for football and one for cheer. These would be placed at our training camp events, and would be used to help us market to people driving by.

I've been amazed at the people who see us at Mills and drive up not knowing that Rancho had a football and cheer program. I think big event tents we can use at Mills and the stadium would be great ways to market to the community. We could take them to community events where appropriate as well, and use them to help us market and get additional exposure with the community.

Events
Spiritwear Merchandise 1 $8,000.00
$8,000.00 Event merchandise
This is an interesting ask. I need to purchase things for my spiritwear booth, and I was hoping to use a grant from the city to help us purchase and sell merchandise to our customers so we can take a smaller investment and turn it into a much more useful sum of money. For the $8k we can purhcase shirts, sweaters, backpacks, lanyards, footballs and pom poms, shorts, water bottles, blankets, stationary, and other items that can be sold at a spiritwear tent. We could easily turn the $8k into $20k and use that to help offset any needs we might have in 2024‐2025.

Events
Snack Bar Funding 1 $3,000.00
$3,000.00 Event Supplies
This would give us the funding we need to stock the snack bar. This allows us to take a smaller donation of money and turn it into a larger sum of money through effort by the community. Getting initial funding would help give us more capacity to fund other expenses.

Events
Team Dinner 18 $350.00
$6,300.00 Event Supplies
We want to do a team dinner each week of football. On Friday we will have team parents get pizza from Costco to deliver to the field. We will end practice a little early and let players eat and commune as a team. This will hopefully help them get along better, and be a lot more of a "team player" going into HS and college levels of play. Some of these players come from rough backgrounds and home situations, and sometimes worlds collide in a tough way on the field. Having something where players can get to know one another better, and de‐escalate their emotions a bit would do them a lot of good on the field and off.

Events
Field Goal Post Wraps 2 $1,200.00
$2,400.00 Facility equipment
This would be used to put at the base of the field goal posts. It would have Jr Lancers branding, and it would help us to distinguish ourselves from the HS. While not essential, it's one of those things that helps marketing and appearance of the community. We present as a more put together program, and that's something we've been lacking for many seasons.

Facility
Down and Distance Markers 1 $800.00
$800.00 Facility equipment
These are surprisingly expensive, and if I'm trying to make use of the money left over after enrollment, it's hard to prioritize necessary player equipment against necessary facility equipment. The down and distance marker we currenly use is made with pool noodles and duct tape. It is embarrasing, and needs to be replaced.

Facility
Grill 1 $2,000.00
$2,000.00 Facility equipment
We make a lot of money from the snack bar, and the grill I bought from Lowe's last season is completely inadequate to cook food for hundreds of guests. It would be nice to have a comfortable place to work on a heavier duty grill that has our logo on it.

Facility
Inflatable Mascot Head Tunnell 1 $5,000.00
$5,000.00 Facility equipment
Our coaches and staff are asking for a inflatable tunnell. This would be used to allow our teams to enter the stadium in style. I understand why this might be a low priority for the city, but for future football players that get to remember running into the stadium under the inflatable, it'll mean a lot. I am trying to not only teach football, but inspire youth to want to play the game. Part of that is creating a show that entertains them as much as spectators. These kids will feel like kings running from under a Jr Lancers mascot inflatable tunnel. This would help the HS in retention, and it helps the Jr Lancers attract players that might not have considered playing for Rancho Cordova due to their own beliefs of our programs. This tunnel would help us look like a more serious program to anyone considering joining.

Facility
Football training bags 10 $800.00
$8,000.00 Football training equipment
These would purchase additional training equipment. For the amount of players we have our program was terribly under‐equipped to support coaches and teams.

Getting training bags that kids can jump over, tackle, and run around is a very standard item to have, and we have 3, we need another 10 more to support 4 football teams.

Football
Body shield training bags 16 $50.00
$800.00 Football training equipment Along the lines of the above request, this would be enough to help effectively establish our organization. Football
Storage shed shelving 5 $300.00
$1,500.00 Storage shed organization project
We need additional shelving to effectively organize all our gear. We have a lot of new gear, and the existing shelving in our shed is inadequate. I bought a shelving unit from Costco recently that gives us about 3 columns worth of storage out of each unit. Realistically we're making the most out of the situation. This shelving allows us to make far better use of the vertical space, and it creates a more efficient way to keep this small space organized and safe for our volunteers. This was a mess that had been kicked down the road and never truly addressed.

Football
JAMZ Cheer Coaching 4 $1,000.00
$4,000.00 Training for coaches
JAMZ puts on national annual cheer training for coaches. We could get our coaches airfare, hotel, and admission to the JAMZ training camp. This would align them with other organizations as well as the high school for training needs. This would offer the Jr Lancers something to offer cheer coaches that would be competitive to what other communities offer. That would enable us to compete for quality cheer coaches.

Football
Helmet reconditioning 150 $80.00
$12,000.00 Annual reconditioning fees for equipment
Establishing a way to recondition our equipment annually would allow me to make football more affordable to the community. This upcoming season is a big season for reconditioning. I was able to acquire 60+ helmets for the Jr Lancers program. This covers a request I was going to make to the city for new helmets.

Instead I found a bunch of used ones that were reconditioned. But they are all different colors and face masks. I want them painted black and red, and I want them all to have the same red face masks. This would give me a completely uniform look and feel to our entire stock of helmets.

Football
Application #48
ITEM 3.1.

ATTACHMENT 3

Page 387 of 933 ends

Guardian Caps 150 $80.00 $12,000.00 Safety equipment for football players Guardian caps go over helmets and reduce the chance of injury and concussion.

These are likely going to be mandated in California shortly. Getting the equipment now would show community families that we take their players health seriously, and would allow us to better compete with other programs in the area.

Football
Shoulder Pads 50 $150.00
$7,500.00 Essential player equipment
I was not able to acquire additional shoulder pads. I have enough to get through spring. I can order more for summer after July 1. Pads are far easier to get than helmets. The amount of pads we have currently is insufficient to run youth football, and we request funding for more pads.

Football
Footballs 16 $50.00
$800.00 Training equipment Each team needs about 6 footballs for practice, and 2 game balls for the season. Football Hudl 1 $6,000.00 $6,000.00 Video recording services
This service offers us the ability to record our games, and watch them back to do film review with our players. We also use their playbook functionality to share playbooks with the team. Last season this was poorly configured, this season we plan to make video available to parents for download.

IT
Coaching headsets 1 $1,200.00
$1,200.00 IT Equipment
We would use this to enable coaches to communicate with a spotter up in the booth. It is difficult to collect enough extra money from enrollments to acquire technology such as this to help give our coaches an advantage on the field. Having funding from the city would help us make use of communication tools and allow us to give the community a better equipped football program. I can't promise more wins, but I can say this would help expand communications with the booth and make it easier to adjust and increase our chances of success.

Project Information
Project Name
Building Community Bicycling in Rancho Cordova
Project Synopsis
Promoting biking for all ages, abilities, and backgrounds through community engagement and education.

Project Description
The Bicycling Advocates for Rancho Cordova (BARC) and the Sacramento Area Bicycle Advocates (SABA) seek funding for activities during 2023‐2024 that include Bike Valet parking, Bike Maintenance pop‐up clinics, Social rides, Bike Education classes, Lights On! events, bicycle safety events, and pop‐up experiences for youth and adults integrating cycling with other educ ational subject matter.

In partnership with SABA, BARC has been expanding capacity to provide services and experiences for Rancho Cordova community members with grants from the Community Enhancement Fund. BARC plans to use 2023‐2024 grant funds to build additional capacity, to finalize becoming a 501(c)(3) non‐profit, and to expand its social media presence for cycling in Ranch o Cordova.

Additionally, BARC has achieved greater autonomy in providing bike valet service at Rancho Cordova community events, such as the Capital Air Show and the Fourth of July celebration. BARC is growing its presence in the community, providing bike valet services, social rides, and additional ac
tivities in Rancho Cordova. Further, providing pop‐up Bike Clinics in neighborhoods where bike shops are scarce and bike education classes to boost the confidence and skill level of riders round out a larger scope of cycling activities across Rancho Cordova. BARC provides support to Rancho Cordova’s resi dents in choosing a bicycle for daily trips or for recreation.

Our grant for 2023‐2024 extends the work in these areas: to provide direct services to community members in Rancho Cordova and to increase the capacity in Rancho Cordova via BARC and residents.

Project Team
BARC: Nick Buchen, Executive Director; Austin Allen & Fayzah Mughal, Board Members SABA: Debra Banks, Executive Director; Robert Christiansen, Program Manager; Jeremiah Rohr, Office Manager Project Goals
We have 3 goals for the program and will measure success by growing the number of participants at our events and our member database. 1: Implement a community cycling program in Rancho Cordova (RC) where residents are supported to choose bicycling for daily trips. a. We will do this by providing Bike Valet (B V) services at the July 4th Celebration, Capitol Air Show, and other opportunities that arise (ex. Community Fall Festival, Earth Day). b. BARC will host a set of Social Rides around RC that will encourage cycling and boost confidence in riding. c. BARC will provide energizer pop‐up stations and other activities during May is Bike Mo nth (MiBM). 2: Build capacity in RC to service bicycles within the community. BARC will hold another set of clinics in impacted Application #49
ITEM 3.1.

ATTACHMENT 3

Page 389 of 933 ends

2 neighborhoods in RC including Lincoln Village and Mather Veterans Village. SABA and BARC expect to work on at least 50 bikes via these events i RC, which will keep people rolling and put neglected bikes back in use. 3: Continue building capacity in BARC as a bike advocacy and education organization. a. BARC will c ontinue to broaden its reach within RC by hosting a number of Zoom info sessions on topics like bike infrastructure and street design. Building a database of volunteers/members will deepen BARC’s reach and provide credibility to its advocacy campaigns with and for RC. b. Lights On! is a great way to help cyclists learn ab out BARC while providing safety lights for riders. BARC distributes safety lights to cyclists who are not properly lit during evening hours, enabling them to be seen and helping them to obtain compliance. BARC distributes bike safety lights during Lights On! and other events ending af
ter dusk. c. Partnering with Safetyville at their Summer Bike Rodeo education events to hand out and teach families participating in the rodeo how to properly fit helmets. d. Providing MiBM activities also serves to energize the local community, spread good will and broaden local knowledge about BARC.

3 In addition to providing the project timeline identified above, describe how you will be able to complete your project by June 30, 2024.

Given that all of our events are being held by two partnering organizations all year long, we do not expect to have challenges to execute all of the activities. As mentioned above, everything is seasonally based, with the least going on during the winter months (except Lights On!).

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, the majority of BARC’s and SABA’s planned events are to be held outdoors. Some events could be held virtually as an alternative. For example, social rides could be drawn up and promoted as a self‐led challenge through social media channels, with the potential to earn swag for people who participate. The activities that would be potentially shutter ed due to a restrictive health order change are activities that would be in enclosed indoor spaces.

Project Information
Project Name
After school program to assist with the mental health and stability of children Project Synopsis
After school, children will take part in counseling and classes that help them deal with the trauma and difficulties of everyday life and situations. Children get assistance with feelings of anxiety, Project Description
The plan is to work with the school as a part of their Multi‐Tiered System of Support when a child gets in trouble at school or shows signs of trouble at home or within themselves. The counseling center will provide early intervention in addiction, criminal actions, self‐harm, and violence that leads to s uicide and homicide. Better Decisions Counseling receives daily requests for help from Care Solice, saying, "We are looking for Psychological Individual Therapy treatment for a child struggling with Bipolar, Depression, Anxiety, Suicidal Ideation, Trauma, Eating, and Disruptive. Can you help this family?" The children needing help are in the Elk Grove, Sacramen
to Unified, and Folsom Cordova districts. Students needing counseling struggle with Bipolar, Depression, Anxiety, Suicidal Ideation, Trauma, Eating disorders, destructive behaviors, addictions, and anger management issues. Can the counseling center help these families? Yes, with the funding, they can. With enough funding to pay for the expenses of the co unseling center, the child can get help even if the parent has the wrong type of insurance or the insurance company denies the claim. The fund assists with their children's and young adults' classes, counseling locations, and the materials and supplies needed for the types. Their parents and caregivers will receive counse ling to improve their decisions, behaviors, and actions. No matter the person's religion, sexual orientation, gender identification, or ability to get to the office, Better Decisions will adapt to the person's needs. This includes treating the child in a Zoom counseling session or class. Families and parents/caregivers are encouraged to attend counseling services and cl
asses to help them recover from the trauma, grief, anxiety, depression, anger, self‐harming, parenting, low self‐ esteem, bullying, parenting and coping skills, and addiction issues. There is also a new class to help a person find inner peace. It is a multiple mediation class.

Project Team
Janina Guarino is the Executive Director of Better Decisions Counseling. She has over twenty years of case management experience and counseling experience and holds a LAADC‐CA license. Janina is also on the approved Sacramento Superior Courts list for Anger Management, Coparenting, and Supervised Visitation.

ram, Mather Community Campas, where she ran group and meditation classes for two years for adults. Janina also started her counseling/case management career working with troubled teenagers. Other team members helping with the classes, Application #50

2 counseling, and case manager are Jesse and Geoffrey, as well as rotating interns. There will also be Technical Assistance that will be contracted to collect data, organize it, and provide it in a report to the Grantmakers.

Project Goals
The goal of this project is to assist schools with troubled children. The troubled children that Better Decisions Counseling wants to give counseling to are not only getting into trouble at school, causing problems in the classroom, or causing pain to other students but also students are in trouble with themself. Children show signs of isolation, fear, depression, unhygienic, eating disorders, drug or alcohol use, or other self‐harming thoughts or actions. Better Decisions Counseling plans to work closely with the schools to immediately identify a child with a problem that needs to be addressed before the child destroys their future or the future of ot hers whose lives they touch. The first step to reaching the goal of 100% participation with all the schools in the school districts including Elk Grove School District, Sacramento Unified School District, and Folsom Cordova School District, is getting the approval of their superintendents. The next step is to build relationships wi th the school staff and have them refer students to Better Decisions Counseling. The third step is to get approval from those kids' parents to help their child and to offer services to the parents and the families themselves.

Project Schedule, Timeliness and Adaptability
Project Schedule
The program will start officially on July 1, 2023, when payment is received. The time between then and now will be used to pull the program resources, funding, staff, and population together. The plan is to reach out to the different superintendents to get a list of students that the schools have already identified as suspi cious of needing counseling for anger management, anxiety, depression, self‐harm, harming others or others' property, addiction, destructive behavior, disturbing behaviors or actions, or trauma. The counseling center will help the children identified by offering services to their parents for the children themselves, their families, and the parents. Children th at are breaking the rules in school. Children who are being bullied or are bullying others are the most susceptible to self‐harm, acts of violence against others, suicide, homicide, and addictions that include drugs/alcohol, theft, vandalizing, lying, and eating disorders. Pain makes people, in general, causes them to cause pai n to others and themselves. Self‐ love, compassion, confidence, and inner peace help them become well‐adjusted, stable, and secure adults. This is probably the same thing the rest of the family and their parents lack. Every effort will be made to get the child help, including breaching the barriers and excuses tha
t a parent may have to keep their child, their family, and the parents from attending counseling and classes that will change their courses in life. Funding will be sought to cover the service payments for people with insurance who refuse to pay the counseling center. If the people can not get to the counseling center or they see their schedule is too busy, they can attend the counseling or class in a Zoom meeting.

In addition to providing the project timeline identified above, describe how you will be able to complete your project by June 30, 2024.

The project will be ongoing, but the project year will be ended with the collection of statistical data and the creation of an annual report that will show all the children that have received help at the counseling center and how many have completed the goals in their treatment plan. Each treatment plan is created for th e individual and at the level of where the child is mentally, socially, psychologically, and physically. Each child will have their progress in completing their treatment plan.

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. The child and their family will be given the option and opportunity of visiting the counseling center to receive counseling treatment and participate in groups and counseling. They will also be allowed to attend virtually with Zoom.

Project Information
Project Name
Find Your Voice Creative Writing Workshop Series
Project Synopsis
916 Ink will partner with classroom teachers to provide high‐quality, creative writing workshops for 100, 3‐12 grade Rancho Cordova students.

Project Description
Find Your Voice is a semester‐length, school site–based program. Each student participating will receive 18 hours of California Arts and Common Core standards‐aligned instruction with 916 Ink's professionally trained teaching artists and become a published author in an anthology of student work. Students will learn the basics of storytelling, introductory poet ry forms, and the craft of creative nonfiction. In each 12‐session workshop series, approximately 15‐25 students build an appreciation for the literary arts, are encouraged to engage deeply with each other in a positive writing community, and develop social‐emotional skills like empathy and resilience. 916 Ink students are actively en gaged in the process, working toward the goal of a professionally published anthology of poetry and prose. Each 90‐minute session begins with readings that expose students to relevant works of fiction and poetry.

Students write in 5‐15 minute blocks to curated and engaging writing prompts. Students are encourag ed to share their work with each other. 916 Ink staff and the students are instructed to provide positive feedback about what was strong in the writing. This methodology builds self‐confidence and safety as students explore their personal voice and share their unique stories. The writing prompts build upon each ot her sequentially as part of 916 Ink's "Hero's Journey" storytelling curriculum. After students have generated their poetry and prose, 916 Ink leads students in revision‐based activities and one‐on‐one connections to trusted adults to refine up to three pieces of their work for publication. Students also learn how to perform their work for an audience in preparation fo
r the book release and reading event. Book release events are attended by teachers, administrators, the student's family, and other community stakeholders. These events serve to expose the larger community to the artistic merit and importance of the student's work.

2 and experiences. Our 5 AmeriCorps Member service team provide in‐class assistance to our teaching artists and direct support to students participating in our workshops.

Project Goals
By the end of each 12‐session workshop series, we anticipate that 100 students will: complete 18 hours of ELA instruction; learn effective communication skills; creatively make decisions and solve problems critically; polish three to five pieces of creative work for publication; and become a published author. An ability to read and write is essential for thriving in our increasingl y complex and literate world. Those who possess strong communication skills are equipped with the power to connect with, comprehend, and interpret the world around them. Not only does this benefit the individual but it also ultimately benefits the community at large, allowing for a dynamic an d growth oriented populace. Our pre/post evaluation results show that after successful completion of a workshop series: 84 percent of youth improve in terms of social‐emotional development, with 78 percent believing they are good at using their imagination and 77 percent enjoying meeting people who are different from them. Addition ally, 87 percent of students reported improved attitudes toward writing, with 70 percent looking forward to writing down their ideas and 60 percent believing the stories that they can tell matter to others. 916 Ink’s evaluation toolkit includes nine data collection tools developed by a leading evaluation firm that measur e immediate, intermediate, and long‐term outcomes. 916 Ink utilizes a pre and post program survey to measure the program’s impact on literacy skills, attitudes towards writing, reading, school, vocabulary, communication, mental health, and personal goals. Where applicable, teachers and parents are also asked to complete surveys on outcomes. Attendance is taken at
each session and demographic data collected. Twenty‐eight individual outcome elements are grouped into three primary domains: 1) Academic Attitudes, 2) Academic Behaviors, and 3) Social‐Emotional Development.

916 Ink works directly with school site partners to schedule our workshop series and publication of anthologies to mirror as much as possible a typical school semester. Our program is designed with 12 sessions and is intended to take place weekly during the school year, we factor in all school holidays and in‐service days fo r specific districts when scheduling to ensure completion of each program leaving 4‐6 weeks at the end of the program to publish and distribute the student anthologies before the summer break. Should a school site partner be unable to accommodate a Find Your Voice program we will work directly with th e City to find a suitable solution, so that we can still provide this program to students in Rancho Cordova in a timely fashion.

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.
916 Ink has created a virtual version of our Find Your Voice Creative Writing Workshop Series based on best practices in on‐line teaching and curriculum development. We are prepared to shift all programs to an virtual program should that be necessary. In the 2020‐21 and 2021‐22 school year we hosted virtual pro grams successfully for Rancho Cordova students.

Project Information
Project Name
Build the Next Generation: The Student & Landowner, Education & Watershed Stewardship Program Project Synopsis
The Student and Landowner Education and Watershed Stewardship (SLEWS) engages high school students in habitat restoration through a series of hands‐on field days at real world projects.

Project Description
The Student and Landowner Education and Watershed Stewardship (SLEWS) Program engages high school students in meaningful environmental stewardship on local habitat restoration projects. Over the course of the past year we have worked with George Washington Carver High School within the SLEWS Program to connect their classroom learning to the real world, providing students with transforma
tive experiences in nature that increase their appreciation, commitment and respect for sustainable agriculture and the natural world. Through hands‐on activities such as water quality and bird box monitoring, students develop science and inquiry skills needed for lifelong learning. With your support, we would have the ability to solidify the SLEWS program as a part of the environmental science curriculum at George Washington Carver. Not only does our programming open students’ exposure to environmental concepts, but it also helps prepare them for the workforce. SLEWS staff recruit and train volunteers from non‐profits, public agencies, and universities to mentor students thro ughout their SLEWS year. Through this program students engage in college and career readiness activities that provide them insight into different career avenues while helping them cultivate their leadership, communication, and critical thinking skills. Due to our partnership with restoration professionals from public agencies, local watershed groups, and nonpr ofit organizations, SLEWS projects have a real & lasting impact on the land. Since its inception, students have planted over 80,000 native trees/shrubs, 350,000 grass/forbs plugs, and installed 827 wildlife structures. By including students in habitat restoration, SLEWS further addresses the needs for healthier land & more wildlife habitat, and the need to instill conservation and stewar
dship values in high school students.

2 ‐ TBD, we work with our restoration partners the summer prior to the field season to select project sites for the upcoming year based on program funding and number of schools interested. Our project during the 2022‐23 SLEWS season involved two different site locations (Franklin Channel and Stone Lakes Wildlife Refuge). Each si te typically consists of various agricultural techniques from organic farming and vegetable growth to orchards and olive oil production, but can be more focused on riparian restoration and habitat for local wildlife.

Project Goals
The mission of the Center for Land‐Based Learning is to inspire, educate, and cultivate future generations of farmers, agricultural leaders and natural resource stewards. The focus of our youth programming is to introduce students to the education and career pathways available to them in agriculture and natural resources. We equip students with the workforce development and leadership skills they need to be competitive in the job market. At the heart of our work are the experiential learning opportunities available to students that bring to life the topics they learn during field day trips. For our SLEWS Program, field day visits are critical to st udents as they experience firsthand the work required to become environmental stewards and restore habitats. These hands‐on opportunities help students explore and build their careers in agriculture, science, and technology. Our youth programs are developing the problem‐solvers needed for a healthy, robust and sustainable world. Post‐field day sur vey results indicate 95.7% of students are more interested in careers related to agriculture or natural resources after participating in the SLEWS program and an impressive 95.6% would consider doing SLEWS activities on their own or with others outside of the program. Additionally, 87% of students shared what they learned with family and friends, demonstr ating the impact of SLEWS going beyond the students themselves. In addition to our surveys that we conduct every year, the SLEWS Program Manager conducts debriefing sessions after each field day to receive feedback from partners and mentors on the quality of the restoration work, the flow of the day 's agenda, and the student and mentor experience. After the season is complete, the Manager meets with teachers and partners to assess the program as a whole and identify program strengths and areas of improvement for the following season.

Funding Request
Funds are generally not intended to be used for deferred maintenance and ongoing operational needs. The funds are intended for community enhancement & investment.

Total Project Cost
222,453.45
Estimated Breakdown of Project Expenditures
Attached below is the detailed budget of project expenditures. The main costs associated with the program are staff salaries and benefits, project supplies, and administrative costs. While we did receive funds for the 2022‐23 school year it was determined due to a significant increase in cost and general inflation that the amount that wa s originally request was not enough to support the program without seeking additional funds. While the program was successful, we are increasing our request to ensure it aligns with our current program needs.

Matching Funds
Our current matching funds for 2023‐2026 total $59,503.23 including cash and in‐kind contributions.

Include Any Other Funding Contributions
We have received funding contributions from SMUD shine. In addition, our volunteer mentors guide students through restoration tasks and allow students to develop strong personal connections with professionals in the natural resources, restoration, and agriculture fields providing in‐kind donations. Both of these sources are included in the match number above.

3 Over the course of the 2022‐23 school year the Center for Land‐Based Learning SLEWS program worked with George Washington Carver School of Arts and Science to engage sciences students in hands‐on activities that directly related to their curriculum. The success of our program this year has proven it's success as a single‐year r equest, but in order to ensure students of Rancho Cordova continue to receive access to this program we are requesting multi‐year funding to continue the impact on the next generation. Not only does this program expose students to real‐world projects, but it exposes them to college and care er readiness activities.

How many years have you received funding for this project? 1 When will your request for funding sunset for ongoing programs? The SLEWS Program has been ongoing since 2001. We are always working to seek alternative sustained funding to ensure students receive consistent access.

Do you plan to ask annually for funding?
Yes
What other funding will you seek to support your project? We are currently in discussion with SMUD, USDA‐NRCS, and a few other organizations to further support the program as we continue to grow. We have secured funding through the SMUD Shine award and currently receiving funding for our other regions via a variety of partners including: Natural Resources Conservation Service, Yocha Dehe Community Fu nd, Mary A. Crocker Trust, Teichert Foundation, Yolo County Resource Conservation District, and Solano Resource Conservation District.

Project Schedule, Timeliness and Adaptability
Project Schedule
Year One Timeline (repeats same timeline for Year Two & Year Three): By October 31, 2023: Identify potential SLEWS project sites with partners, select high school classes to adopt projects and meet with teacher and principal, if necessary. By November 30, 2023:

Finalize at least 3 SLEWS Project sites, plans and dates with part ners, recruit and train volunteer mentors; and visit project sites to determine appropriate activities. By December 31, 2024: Complete a minimum of 3 SLEWS field days with partners, students, teachers, mentors and landowners. By April 30, 2024: Wrap up all SLEWS project sites for the year. By June 30, 2024: Report ba ck on field day accomplishments and create an outreach video highlighting conservation accomplishments of the 2023‐2023 school year.

In addition to providing the project timeline identified above, describe how you will be able to complete your project by June 30, 2024.

With 20 years of history and collaboration with high school teachers, restoration professionals, private landowners, state and national agencies, universities and non‐profit organizations, the SLEWS Program is an established and successful approach to youth engagement. Our timeline is tried‐and‐true, and we typically complete between 20‐25 field days annually in the Sa cramento Valley and up to 50 statewide. We work with teachers and restoration partners to schedule field trips that work for both the school calendar and the restoration timeline to ensure project completion. Winter is the best season to perform the robust planting portion of our SLEWS projects, thus many of our pr ojects finish up in March. We always aim to have all field days program‐wide completed by the end of April, as student availability diminishes in May and June due to testing and finals. The timeline of our programming year and field day schedule is designed to ensure ou r projects are completed well before the end of June.

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 SLEWS Program typically works with classes of 20‐30 high school students for in‐person field days. Our field days are entirely outdoors, which is advantageous when it comes to COVID‐19 guidelines, but we are prepared to adjust our program to accommodate whatever school and state guidelines are in place at the ti me. We have spent the last two seasons navigating the changes COVID requires and devising alternate activities when appropriate. While a virtual option is not conducive to SLEWS we have had great success during the past two seasons going above and beyond the recommended standard of protection including the requirement of vaccination fo
r our mentors and mask requirements at all field days. In the event that our program cannot operate in a normal capacity next fall, we will work with the teacher and restoration partner to devise ways we can continue to serve students and give them a comparable experience. This may in clude assisting the school with arranging safer transportation options, reducing the student capacity on field days, updating cleaning procedures, connecting with classes of students virtually, hosting volunteer days to keep restoration projects on track, or even considering completing the project on a Saturday when school is not in session.

N/A
N/A, California N/A
Other Physical Addresses (if project/program is at multiple sites) We have not yet identified an exact location for this project, as each summer we work with our restoration partners to select appropriate SLEWS field sites for participating schools. Once we know the number of SLEWS projects that will be funded, the SLEWS Program Manager tours potential project sites with restoration partners ove r the summer. Longtime restoration partners like Yolo County Resource Conservation District seek to involve local students in the restoration projects they are already planning, and keep the SLEWS Program in mind when visiting project sites. Project sites with willing landowners and suitable locations are visited by the SLEWS Program Manager in la te spring and early summer to determine the best sites for the upcoming season. Sites are selected by the end of August based on ease of access, project size and scope, funding availability, and diversity of tasks. Once all sites are established, participating schools are matched with a project site based on location and school requests. We are currently in communication with the Sacramento Tree Foundation about potential sites and hope to have a site locked down sooner rather than later. Some of our SLEWS projects are on public lands (past projects include sites in the Yolo Bypass Wildlife Area, Capay Open Spa ce Park, and Stone Lakes National Wildlife Refuge), but many take place on privately owned farms and ranches. In order to be considered for a SLEWS site, the landowner must be on board with the program and complete a landowner agreement.

To Whom it May Concern,
The Sacramento Tree Foundation is excited to partner with the Center for Land-Based Learning to implement the SLEWS Program.

The Sacramento Tree Foundation supports the SLEWS project proposal to allow students from George Washington Carver HS to visit reforestation sites along Franklin Channel in Elk Grove and within the Stone Lakes National Wildlife Refuge. Students will have the opportunity to participate in habitat restoration activities, gain experience in habitation conservation and apply what they have learned in school. This program will also provide the opportunity for students to spend time with mentors working in conservation and learn more about the industry.

We are excited to partner with SLEWS and the Center for Land-Based Learning and include students in our efforts to restore the native forests of the Sacramento region. The trees the SLEWS students will plant and care for will have a resounding effect on the nearby community, Franklin High School and the Franklin Channel waterway. Their work will shade the path for students and residents alike, and create lasting habitat for local wildlife. At the Sacramento Tree Foundation we strive to grow healthy communities through stewardship of our urban forest. We couldn’t be happier to have the support of the SLEWS program to complete this initiative.

To Whom It May Concern,
As the sole instructor for the Environmental Science (ES) course at George Washington Carver School of Arts & Science, I have seen how working with the Center for Land-Based Learning (CLBL) has positively impacted my students through their participation in the SLEWS program. During the 2022-23 school year, my 12th grade ES students were able to plant native oak trees, work with experienced restoration professionals, and learn about areas of land within their community where science is taking place in real time.

It is with this experience that I write to express my support for Carver’s continued participation in this program for the 2023-24 school year. I believe whole-heartedly that the SLEWS program is integral to a successful education in environmental sciences – it provides my students with an opportunity to take what they learn in the classroom and apply it within a context that is far more memorable and impactful. Furthermore, SLEWS has given my students valuable connections to the fields of restoration and conservation through their placement with individual mentors during our SLEWS field days. For those students who are interested in pursuing a career in ecology or restoration, this program is a vital stepping stone for their continued success. For the rest of my students, SLEWS provides an opportunity to volunteer in their community and gain a very real sense of accomplishment.

Without this program, many of my students – particularly those from disadvantaged backgrounds – would never have an opportunity to engage with nature in a hands-on, guided, supportive setting. CLBL and the SLEWS program have my full support going forward, and I look forward to continuing opportunities to work with them in educating our next generation of scientists.

Project Team
Soil Born Farms is a non‐profit urban agriculture and education project based in Rancho Cordova whose mission is to empower people to participate in a local food system that encourages health, nurtures the environment and grows a sustainable community.

Our Youth Education programs – the Growing Together School Garden Initiative and our on‐farm Ro ots and Wings programs – will be responsible for the proposed project. Since 2005 our Youth Ed team has worked to develop and support school garden and farm experiences that provide standards‐based nutrition, science and common core education to low‐income schools throughout the Sacramento region. Youth Education Man ager Shannon Hardwicke will serve as project lead, coordinating CHS internships, community and school partnerships, college intern/volunteer/teacher trainings, and Youth Program staff supervision. Soil Born’s Youth Educators Lacey Carlson and Amy Tackett will spearhead on‐farm field trips. Additionally, Ms. Packett will utilize her experience as a credentialed teacher in career tec hnical education (including agriculture, 4H and construction) to spearhead Animal Program planning activities alongside Soil Born Farms’ Founder and Co‐Director Shawn Harrison. The project team will work in close collaboration with teachers and administrators at Rancho Cordova school sites and leadership at Folsom Cordova Unified School District. Individuals actively co‐creatin g this pathway’s vision alongside Soil Born Farms include CHS Principal Jerad Hyden (letter of support attached); FCUSD Career Technical Education Coordinator Alicia Caddell; FCUSD Assistant Superintendent Jim Huber; and Cordova Gardens Elementary Principal John Bliss (letter of support attached).

Is this a multi‐year request?
No
How many years have you received funding for this project? 7 When will your request for funding sunset for ongoing programs? This request is for one year, but establishing a comprehensive food and agriculture education pathway for Rancho Cordova youth is a long‐term process. We are grateful for the City of Rancho Cordova’s ongoing support of this vision. Our approach to sustainability for elementary school garden programs involves empowering schools to take on more ownership and responsibility for school garden coordination and use ‐ while also recognizing that teacher and school resources are limited. Soil Born Farms provides a framework of support for partner schools through the provision of curriculum, seasonal garden kits and plant starts, teacher training, garden maintenance/instructional assistance, and garden‐based extracurricul ar activities for youth. We aim to continue building this web of support to integrate school garden learning into the culture and structure of the elementary education system.

At the high school level, our sustainability strategy focuses on creating a win‐win partnership with Cordova High School. The school’s Agricu
lture and Culinary Academies align perfectly with Soil Born Farms’ mission and work, and their proximity to our farm Application #54

3 education center make for a phenomenal, frequent learning laboratory. As we continue to layer experiences in Career Technical Education, workforce development, and mentorship for local teens, we will partner with FCUSD to tap into new and ongoing funding streams to sustain this work.

Do you plan to ask annually for funding?
Yes
What other funding will you seek to support your project? Soil Born Farms secures Youth Education Program funding from private foundations, state and federal grants, program fees, and community donations. In 2023 we will be submitting a California Farm to School Incubator Grant proposal that will support further connections between our farm education center, local schools, and community organizations. We will assist school sites in pursuing small grants to fund supplies and maintenance. Continued support from the City of Rancho Cordova and Folsom Cordova Unified School District will be needed for ongoing training/technical assistance and continued deepening of these programs’ impact.

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 and Cordova Meadows Elementary Schools; Mills Middle School; and Cordova High School. With support from the City of Rancho Cordova, Soil Born Farms' Youth Education team will collaborate with schools on three core action areas during the 2023- 24 school year:
1) Launching High School Internships: This project will formalize annual internships for seniors of Cordova High School’s (CHS) Agriculture Academy, located adjacent to Soil Born Farms. These internships are being piloted with 2-3 students beginning March 2023, and will be expanded into an annual internship program for 6-9 teens under this proposal. Participants will earn high school credit while receiving mentorship, training and hands-on work experience in Soil Born Farms’ production fields, orchards, learning gardens, and greenhouses. The program will run 8-10 weeks each spring semester, 4-6 hours/week during the last period of the school day. 30+ specific learning outcomes will be met through experience and instruction at Soil Born Farms, covering technical skills, land stewardship concepts, career exploration and workplace expectations. Youth who wish to pursue further experience will be offered summertime/after school paid job training at Soil Born Farms. These experiences will build on existing field trips for CHS classes, both formal field trips hosted by Soil Born Farms’ educators and independent visits led by CHS teachers.
2) Animal Program Planning: Soil Born Farms is currently completing building plans and permitting for the construction of a new Animal Barn. This structure will enable an exciting expansion of our partnership with CHS’ Agriculture Academy and Future Farmers of America programs, which lack the space to keep large animals on site. The Animal Barn will serve as a learning laboratory where Ag Academy students can practice animal husbandry and learn to utilize livestock (sheep, goats, pigs, rabbits and chickens) for holistic land management. This one-of-a-kind partnership will provide phenomenal education in sustainable agriculture, ecology, animal science, hydrology and soils, all while fostering practical skills, inspiring a stewardship ethic, and teaching systems-thinking. Students will also act as animal docents to educate the visiting public on Saturdays. Under this project Soil Born Farms will work with CHS to complete a detailed Animal Program plan, covering site use logistics, practicum topics, equipment needs, learning outcomes and more. Completing this plan will enable us to launch Animal Program education as soon as barn construction is completed, expected in 2024. This plays into Soil Born Farms’ broader goal of offering repeated farm-based education throughout high school - including field trips and on-farm classes, after school programs, internships and paid job training. 3) Layered Farm and Garden Learning for Younger Grades: Soil Born Farms will continue to deliver farm- and garden-based education for elementary and middle school grades as the foundation of the Food, Health and Environmental Career Pathway. Repeat experiences through school garden lessons, farm field trips, cross-age peer mentoring and summer camps build children’s literacy in agriculture, health and stewardship, and inspire them to stay engaged through high school. Topics from the classroom come to life through hands-on exploration in the rich environments of school gardens and Soil Born Farms’ 55-acre education center. College interns from Sac State University and community volunteers from Habitat for Humanity’s Green Corps are trained to provide support for farm field trips and garden Application #54

programs in Rancho Cordova schools. Teacher trainings on standards-based garden curriculum will equip teachers to utilize school gardens to their fullest potential.

Community Benefit:

This work benefits Rancho Cordova on many levels, fostering an environment that supports academic learning, pathways to gainful employment for youth, healthy eating and physical activity, environmental stewardship, and community connection. The project fulfills many CEIF criteria, including providing children and youth with experiential education; fostering pride in our community through connection to place; improving quality of life by inspiring healthy lifestyle choices; celebrating the diverse cultures of our community through exploration of culinary and agricultural traditions; and fostering pathways to living wage careers for underserved youth in the sectors of food, farming, health and the environment.

Leverage and Sustainability:

Our approach leverages many resources for the benefit of our community including university interns, 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 garden-based education in public schools. School garden and experiential learning programs are continually challenged by limited school budgets, heavy teacher workloads, changes in school leadership, and the need for summertime garden upkeep. This proposal continues to build creative, win- win strategies for supporting and sustaining these vital programs.

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 that 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 which includes both viable internships and joint-planning for the future use of the Animal Barn. The ongoing collaboration continues to create cross-age mentoring experiences and field trips, while improving both our ornamental horticulture and animal sciences courses utilizing a cross-curricular articulation with culinary to facilitate campus sustainability. With access to Soil Born Farm, including the added materials and equipment and plans around the construction of an Animal Barn, 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 post-secondary 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 collaborate to positively impact student outcomes.

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 after‐school program Monday‐Friday for over 100 Navigator students.

Project Description
The Boys & Girls Club at Navigator Elementary has been a constant in the lives of Rancho Cordova youth and families since 2018, providing a comprehensive after‐school program that is available 5 days a week ‐ from the time school gets out (including minimum days/early dismissals) until 6pm. Throughout the Covid‐19 pandemic, the Club co ntinued to serve Navigator students and their families. 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 tra
ck 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 Naviga tor 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 Boy s & 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. The Club focuses on helping yo
uth in three critical areas; Academic Success and Career Readiness, Good Character and Citizenship and Healthy Behaviors and Lifestyle Choices. A major point of emphasis for the Club is Project Learn, a holistic strategy for leveraging every moment and dedicated staff to support Academic Success. Project Learn is a strategic intervention model that will support learning, both in‐person and remotely if needed.

Project Team
Kimberly Key, Chief Executive Officer Kim has been an integral part of the Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater Sacramento for over 19 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 ban king for Bank of the West. She served as Board President for over 5 years, assisting the Club to open more sites and serve more Sacramento‐area youth than ever before. Kim’s passion for the organization and its mission led to her accepting the role of CEO in 2015. Jon Rang o, Chief Operating Officer Jon has been in the field Application #55

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. In addition to program management, Lisa is our on‐boarding coordinator, training new staff at school sites on classroom management, program expectations, as well
as organizational and district policies and procedures.

Project Goals
1) A minimum of 100 unduplicated youth will become Boys & Girls Club members for the 23/24 school year. 2) A minimum of 200 Rancho Cordova youth and their families will receive additional Club programs and services, including participating in the Club’s weekend meal program. 3) 85% of Club members will improve school at tendance. 4) 85% of Club members will show improvement in a single academic subject or overall GPA. 5) 90% of Club members will improve social‐emotional skills through participation in BGCSAC's Smart Moves program. All data for the above goals will be tracked in the Club's member tracking system (Visions). Dat a will be collected via progress reports/report cards, youth surveys, and attendance logs.

Project Name
River View STEM VEX IQ Program
Project Synopsis
The aim of this project is to build competitive VEX IQ Robotics Program for kids from ages 9yrs to 12yrs (3rd to 5th grade) at Riverview STEM Academy elementary school, Rancho Cordova. Riverview STEM Project Description
The aim of this project is to build VEX IQ Competitive Robotics teams with kids from 3rd‐5th grade. Teams will build VEX IQ Robots and compete in regional and hopefully state/national level. Rancho Cordova, Riverview STEM Academy elementary school has VEX robotics as part of STEM curriculum. Unfortunately, due to staffing resources Riverview STEM is not able to ru n a competitive program. And the School STEM teacher and principal approached Falkon Academy to run a Competitive VEX Robotics program, after seeing our programs at Folsom Middle School, Marina Village Middle School and Pleasant Grove Middle School. Falkon academy would like to help. We want to build com petitive teams as requested by Riverview STEM. The funding is being requested to 1) Purchase new VEX IQ Kits, to transition to Gen‐2 Kits, 2) Field elements required for competition. 3) Provide scholarships to the needy students to cover the tuition to bring the price lower. VEX Roboti cs Description: The VEX Robotics, which was created by Innovation First, Inc., is recognized as a leading classroom robotics platform. It is designed to nurture creative advancement in robotics and knowledge of STEM education. It could be compared to Lego Robotics. VEX is more engineering concepts focused.

Where as Lego Robotics is more project based. VEX has programs from Elementary to Highschool. VEX Robotics also are cheaper.

The VEX robotics is recognized in multiple schools across the country including FCUSD. For example, Riverview STEM, Folsom Middle School, W. E. Mitchell Middle School already have STEM Curriculum classes but none offer comp etitive programs. Falkon Academy Folsom/El Dorado Hills had 12 teams in VEX IQ And 4 teams in V5. https://falkonacademy.com/latest‐updates www.facebook.com/falkonacademy

Veronica Griffin has been coaching VEX IQ Teams, and one of her team has already won State Championship and selected for World events in 2021‐2022. She was running her class from garage. In previous years she has also volunteered at Riverview STEM teaching robotics. But since year 2022, she is one of the official coaches of Falkon Academy. Veronica Griffin has been coaching VEX IQ Teams for the past 4years, and one of her team has already won State Championship and selected for World events in 2021‐20 22. She was running her class from garage. In previous years she has also volunteered at Riverview STEM teaching robotics. But since year 2022, she is part of the Falkon Academy. Non‐Profit wing Organization: YESS (Youth Enrichment Sports and STEM) About YESS: YESS hosted VEX IQ Regional competition events in year 20 22‐2023 in El Dorado Hills. They received rave reviews from robot‐events.com, the official robot event sponsor across the nation. At the YESS event hosted in El Dorado Hills, there were kids from Bay Area, Chico, Davis, Roseville that participated in these competitions.

Project Goals
Our goal is to provide competitive robotics to as many kids as possible. Help the kids from low income families, by keeping the fees low. At any of the VEX competitions, the representation from Sacramento is very minimal. Most teams are from Bay area, Davis, Modesto, Stockton. Placer County has decent representation. Whereas R ancho Cordova, Folsom and El Dorado Hills had only couple of teams in VEX IQ category. None from VEX V5 category. For the first time this year, due to Falkon Academy Folsom/El Dorado Hills had 12 teams in VEX IQ And 4 teams in V5. – Our goal is to provide comp etitive robotics to as many kids as possible.

Project Schedule
April‐May 2023 Start Marketing to Community/parents for team formation and Build Interest July 2023 Start initial Classes – if possible. Order Kits August – September Build at least 5 teams. With 5 members each. By December Attend at least one competition January Attend 2nd competition April Attend Nationals if selected.

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 experience of running competitive robotics program in Folsom Middle School, Marina Village Middle School. In year we have completed successfully by end of March. As that is deadline for competitions across the Nation. So we are confident we will reach the goals by the said deadline.

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.

Although Robotics Programs are better experienced at a central location in a classroom setting. But we can still run the programs virtually. We can run Virtual Reality Robotics Programs, and also compete in virtual world. This is another great learning experience.

This builds a different set of programming skills and is very innovative.

Project Description: The aim of this project is to build VEX IQ Competitive Robotics teams with kids from ages 9yrs to 12yrs old (3rd to 5th grade). These teams will build VEX IQ Robots and compete in regional and hopefully state and national level. Rancho Cordova, Riverview STEM Academy elementary school has VEX robotics as part of STEM curriculum. Before 2019 they even used to do competitive robotics. The school used to have great teams, and some of the kids, who graduated are still pursuing robotics as part of middle and high school. Unfortunately, due to staffing resources Riverview STEM is not able to run a competitive program any longer.

And the School STEM teacher and principal approached Falkon Academy to run their Competitive VEX Robotics program, after seeing our programs at Folsom Middle School, Marina Village Middle School and Pleasant Grove Middle School.

Falkon academy would like to help. We want to build competitive teams as requested by Riverview STEM.

The funding is being requested to
1) Purchase new VEX IQ Kits, to transition to Gen-2 Kits, 2) Field elements required for competition.
3) Provide scholarships to the needy students to cover the tuition to bring the price lower.

VEX Robotics Description: The VEX Robotics Design System, which was created by Innovation First, Inc., is recognized as a leading classroom robotics platform. It has been designed to nurture creative advancement in robotics and knowledge of science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) education. It could be compared to Lego Robotics. But VEX is more engineering concepts based. Where as Lego Robotics is more project based. VEX has programs from Elementary to Highschool. VEX Robotics also are cheaper. The added advantage of VEX robotics is that its being used by multiple schools across the country including FCUSD. For example, Riverview STEM, Folsom Middle School, W. E. Mitchell Middle School already have STEM Curriculum classes based on these kits. Folsom Middle School and Marina Village Middle School also has VEX programs as an elective. But none of the schools in our area offer Competitive program. As, such Falkon Academy is formed to fill that need.

At any of the VEX competitions, the representation from Sacramento is very minimal. Most teams are from Bay area, Davis, Modesto, Stockton. Placer County has decent representation.

Whereas Rancho Cordova, Folsom and El Dorado Hills had only couple of teams in VEX IQ category. None from VEX V5 category. For the first time this year, due to Falkon Academy Folsom/El Dorado Hills had 12 teams in VEX IQ And 4 teams in V5. – Our goal is to provide competitive robotics to as many kids as possible.

can build and change their robots fast. This
is for kids from 4th grade to 7th grade.

Letter from Riverview STEM Team – Selected for World Championship.

Attached is a letter and a video from some of the past kids from River View STEM. After Riverview STEM they became an independent team and now is selected for World Championship.

They want to continue their passion for robotics and take it to the next level. But its turning out to be expensive as an independent team. They became part of Falkon Robotics, so they will have access to the community and be able to reduce costs. They will also have access to the curriculum and facilities.

They expressed their concern that after Riverview STEM there are no opportunities competitive opportunities at Middle and High School level.

Veronica Griffin has been coaching VEX IQ Teams for the past 4years, and one of her team has already won State Championship and selected for World events in 2021-2022. She was running her class from garage. In previous years she has also volunteered at Riverview STEM teaching robotics. But since year 2022, she is part of the Falkon Academy.

Non-Profit wing Organization: YESS (Youth Enrichment Sports and STEM) About YESS: YESS hosted VEX IQ Regional competition events in year 2022-2023 in El Dorado Hills. They received rave reviews from robot-events.com, the official robot event sponsor across the nation. At the YESS event hosted in El Dorado Hills, there were kids from Bay Area, Chico, Davis, Roseville that participated in these competitions. Youth Enrichment Sports and STEM is a non profit that is launched by Ashwin Thirunahari. The primary goal of this organization is to provide outreach educational programs for the needy. YESS also plans to host robotic competitions to raise funding for its outreach activities. This program also provides volunteer hours to high school students for coaching and hosting events. Folsom/El Dorado/Rancho Cordova is one of the California’s high tech hubs, and it’s unfortunate that our kids are not being provided high tech educational opportunities as in Bay Area.

Total Cost of the program: $30,233
Options for Funding:

Option A) Minimally Funded Project $5,683
The funding provides the minimum required for purchasing the equipment.

The rest of the cost is borne by the parents. About $982 per kid. But most parents may not afford $982 for the program.

Option B) Fund for the School Rental, and equipment and partial coaching fee $22,733 Parents will pay $300 for the program.

Option C) Fully funded $30,233
This will make the whole program free for everyone.

Total Community Enhancement & Investment Funds requested:

Provided 3 options above. Our request is for Option B. And have parents be responsible for education. This also brings down future funding requests down.

Is this a multiyear request? NO
How many years have you received funding for this project? 0 Do you plan to ask annually for funding?
The cost of equipment will drop to 1/3 for the next two consecutive two years. Other expenses need to be paid by parents or City of Rancho Cordova.

What other funding will you seek to support your project? We may seek sponsorship of competitive teams from other local companies, restaurants. But we rather focus on Robotics than finances.

Adaptability
Although Robotics Programs are better experienced at a central location in a classroom setting. But we can still run the programs virtually.

We can run Virtual Reality Robotics Programs, and also compete in virtual world. This is another great learning experience. This builds a different set of programming skills and is very innovative.

Physical Address/School District
The program will be run at “Riverview STEM” in Rancho Cordova. The School principal and the STEM teacher contacted us to run the program.

I have already discussed about this program with Rivewview STEM Elementary School.

Closing Comments:

As expressed in this document, there is a big need and interest for robotics in our community.

And with the rapid pace evolution of technology from Autonomous cars, Robotic Farming, Artificial Intelligence applications like ChatGPT, its more imminent than ever for our school systems to provide robotics educations besides regular curriculum. Unfortunately, technology based programs are expensive as the Staff and the kits are expensive. As such it is unreachable for low income families. So funding is more imminent than ever to get these programs to such communities.

Let’s build the next generation work force together. And make Rancho Cordova hub of Robotics and New Tech.

LETTER From Riverview STEM TEAM - Must Read
March 3, 2022
To Whom It May Concern,
My name is Fallon Griffin. I am eleven years old and one day want to pursue a career in robotics and mechanical engineering.

My passion for robotics started with watching the TV show BattleBots when I was two years old. My parents were kind enough to encourage my passion with Little bits, Legos, k'nex and any other building toys that could move.

I was fortunate to go to Riverview STEM Academy through elementary school and it was there I discovered VEX IQ. We used VEX for our Project Lead the Way (PLTW) curriculum. In 4th Grade I signed up for the VEX robotics team started by Mrs. Lanich. I never knew there were robotics competitions for my age group. It was on this team that I was able to put all my knowledge about design, engineering, teamwork and programming to good use.

VEX IQ Challenge is a creative competition where each year a new challenge is released for teams to compete in. The first year we were tasked to create a robot to stack cubes on platforms, and for extra points, stack balls on top of them. There are three components to the competitions, driver controlled matches, autonomous skills matches and judged awards. It was frustrating more than fun at first, robotics is not for those who view failure negatively. Failure in robotics is essential in working towards a final working product. Each gear ratio that wouldn't work teaches us more about what will work and why. These competitions gave me real world understanding about concepts that I had studied before, but was finally getting to see work.

In 5th grade, because I was homeschooled due to the pandemic, there was nowhere for me to compete or have a team. I truly appreciated the tech lab at Riverview and for the opportunity to come early and stay late at school with my teammates, my friends, and work on a sport that I loved. My parents were willing to let me continue robotics, and two of my friends were excited to join, and for a year all my birthday and Christmas presents were robotics parts and a field for the garage. Measuring six by eight feet it takes up most of the space.

ATTACHMENT 3

Page 459 of 933 ends

part of robotics with me at Riverview are not doing it anymore because they don't have the space or parts to make a team. We all fell in love with this sport, but don't have fields or equipment to keep competing.

Soon, my team will outgrow my parents' garage as we transition to the older VEX competitions for middle and highschoolers. Also, the cost to fund a highschool robotics team will only grow with the complexity of the robot. Soon I may find myself without a team and a space to pursue my passion.

I hope that robotics could be recognized as a league locally. I wish we had fields and a tech lab to pull all the kids interested in pursuing robotics competitively and recreationally in one spot. I want to coach and mentor younger kids in this sport and inspire them to love science and engineering as much as I do. This sport is unique as it not only provides a fun environment for kids to compete in, but trains the next generation of engineers, programmers and roboticists.

My team is named Generation Artemis, because we will grow up seeing humanity return to the moon. I want to be part of the next generation of engineers who confront climate change, sustainable farming and space exploration with scientific innovations. Please consider the importance of a supporting robotics league and facility locally.

Sincerely,
Fallon Griffin

Project Information
Project Name
W. E. Mitchell Middle VEX V5 Robotics Program
Project Synopsis
This project is to build competitive VEX V5 Robotics Program for kids from ages 6rd to 8th grade at W. E. Mitchell Middle School. The school has expressed interest in Falkon Academy run this program.

Project Description
The aim of this project is to build VEX V5 Competitive Robotics teams with kids for 6rd to 8th. These teams will build VEX V5 Robots and compete in regional and hopefully state and national level. Rancho Cordova, W. E. Mitchell Middle school had plans for offering VEX robotics as part of STEM curricul um, but not being offered currently. Falkon Academy has programs already running at Folsom Middle School, Marina Village Middle School and Pleasant Grove Middle School. Falkon academy would like to help. We want to build competitive teams as requested by W. E. Mitchell Middle School. The funding is being requested to 1) Purchase new VEX V5 Completion Kits. 2) Field elements required for competition. 3) Provide scholarships to the needy students to cover the tuition to bring the price lower. VEX Robotics Description: The VEX Robotics, which was created by Innovation First, Inc., is recognized as a leading classroom robotics platform. It has been designed to nu rture creative advancement in robotics and knowledge of STEM education. It could be compared to Lego Robotics. But VEX is more engineering concepts based. VEX has programs from Elementary to Highschool. V5 is all metal based robots and different skill set unlike Lego. The added advantag e of VEX robotics is that its being used by multiple schools across the country including FCUSD. For example, Riverview STEM, Folsom Middle School, W. E. Mitchell Middle School already have STEM Curriculum classes based on these kits. Folsom Middle School and Marina Village Middle School also has VEX programs as an elective. But non e of the schools in our area offer Competitive program. As, such Falkon Academy is formed to fill that need.

YESS also plans to host robotic competitions to raise funding fo r its outreach activities.

Project Goals
– Our goal is to provide competitive robotics to as many kids as possible. ‐ Increase the awareness of STEM education for K12 Kids, ‐ Provide volunteer opportunities for kids, which helps in college applications. At any of the VEX competitions, the representation from Sacramento is very minimal. Most teams are from Bay area, Davis, Modesto , Stockton. Placer County has decent representation. Whereas Rancho Cordova, Folsom and El Dorado Hills had only couple of teams in VEX IQ category. None from VEX V5 category. For the first time this year, due to Falkon Academy Folsom/El Dorado Hills had 12 teams in VEX IQ And 4 teams in V5. – Our goal is to provide
competitive robotics to as many kids as possible.

Project Description: The aim of this project is to build VEX V5 Competitive Robotics teams with kids from ages 11yrs to 15yrs old (6rd to 8th grade). These teams will build VEX V5 Robots and compete in regional and hopefully state and national level. Rancho Cordova, W. E. Mitchell Middle school had plans for offering VEX robotics as part of STEM curriculum, but not being offered currently. Falkon Academy has programs already running at Folsom Middle School, Marina Village Middle School and Pleasant Grove Middle School.

Falkon academy would like to help. We want to build competitive teams as requested by W. E.

Mitchell Middle School.

The funding is being requested to
1) Purchase new VEX V5 Completion Kits.
2) Field elements required for competition.
3) Provide scholarships to the needy students to cover the tuition to bring the price lower.

At any of the VEX competitions, the representation from Sacramento is very minimal. Most teams are from Bay area, Davis, Modesto, Stockton. Placer County has decent representation.

Expenses Outline:
1) Required Kits (Equipment)
Kit Name Cost
5 VEX V5 Competition Kit (one spare) ($1900 each) $9500 2 VEX V5 Fields. $900 each $1800
3 VEX V5 Field Elements $600 each $1200
Spare parts $1500
Competition Registration $2250
Cost of Material + Competitions $16250
Note: The Kits last around 3yrs. So $9500 will come down to $1500 for years 2 and 3. 2) Cost of Coaching: For about 170hrs of coaching. $12,250 Pays for two coaches and one assistant/manager.
3) School Room Rental for 170hrs payment to FCUSD: $12,000 This cost could come down, working with FCUSD Facilities.

For example, we paid Folsom Middle School, and Marina Village Middle School about $4000 for year 2022-2023.
4) Insurance and overhead $1000
Total Cost of the program: $41,500
Options for Funding:

Option A) Minimally Funded Project $16,250
The funding provides the minimum required for purchasing the equipment.

The rest of the cost is borne by the parents. About $1010 per kid. But most parents may not afford $1010 for the program.

If FCUSD keeps the rental at $4000, The burden on the parents is $690.

Option B) Fund for the School Rental, and equipment and partial coaching fee $34,000 Parents will pay $300 for the program.

Option C) Fully funded $41,500
This will make the whole program free for everyone.

Our request is for Option B. And have parents be responsible for education. This also brings down future funding requests further down.

Is this a multiyear request? NO
How many years have you received funding for this project? 0 Do you plan to ask annually for funding?
The cost of equipment, will drop to 1/3 for the next two consecutive two years. School rental, coach expenses need to be paid by parents or City of Rancho Cordova.

What other funding will you seek to support your project? We may seek sponsorship of competitive teams from other local companies, restaurants. But we rather focus on Robotics than finances.

Adaptability
Although Robotics Programs are better experienced at a central location in a classroom setting. But we can still run the programs virtually.

We can run Virtual Reality Robotics Programs, and also compete in virtual world. This is another great learning experience. This builds a different set of programming skills and is very innovative.

Physical Address/School District
The program will be run at “W. E. Mitchell Middle School” in Rancho Cordova. We have already discussed the possibility of running this program with the principal.

As expressed in this document, there is a big need and interest for robotics in our community.

And with the rapid pace evolution of technology from Autonomous cars, Robotic Farming, Artificial Intelligence applications like ChatGPT, its more imminent than ever for our school systems to provide robotics educations besides regular curriculum. Unfortunately, technology based programs are expensive as the Staff and the kits are expensive. As such it is unreachable for low-income families. So funding is more imminent than ever to get these programs to such communities.

Let’s build the next generation work force together. And make Rancho Cordova hub of Robotics and New Tech.

Below are some of the pictures:

With Mr. Chris Clark. FCUSD
Board Member. Below is a post
on his Facebook page:

My sincere thanks to Ashwin
and the Falkon Academy for
having me out to speak at your
Robotics competition. I love the
fact that there were students
from Mangini Ranch
Elementary, Russell Ranch
Elementary, Mather Heights
Elementary, Theodore Judah
Elementary, Folsom Middle, and
Riverview STEM Academy. I was
blown away that these students
were from the 4th, 5th, and 6th
grades! Hoping we can get

To Whom It May Concern,
My name is Fallon Griffin. I am eleven years old and one day want to pursue a career in robotics and mechanical engineering.

My team was able to stay together and compete as an independent team thanks to each of our parents. We have qualified for State Championship every year since we started and won the State Design Award in 2021 qualifying us for World's! My experience with robotics only propels my desire to pursue robotics in the future. I am sad to know that many of my elementary school friends who were part of robotics with me at Riverview are not doing it anymore because they don't have the space or parts to make a team. We all fell in love with this sport, but don't have fields or equipment to keep competing.

Sincerely,
Fallon Griffin

Project Information
Project Name
FREE Mentoring program: Mentors@Cordova High, MACH@Mills, and MACH@Mitchell Middle Schools Project Synopsis
Continue MACH program with focus on improving academics & attendance, promoting positive behavior & community service, and developing life & vocational skills. Add internship program for MACH Alumni.

Project Description
Project empowers youth to make positive life choices that maximize their personal potential by providing participants with the opportunity to earn while they learn and serve through the provision of supplemental educational, social, and vocational opportunities. Members receive guidance from mentors to help get them on a positive path. Members earn rewards for demonstrated improvement in atte
ndance/grades/behavior and for participating in community service. Members attend weekly meetings where expectations are set, guest speakers deliver life skill/vocation messages, and program participants share their successes. Weekly tutoring is provided. Monthly community service activities are scheduled to instill the value of civic engagement and giving back to th e community that is giving to them. Quarterly parent engagement events are hosted to strengthen family ties and help educate parents on available resources. Funding is being requested to ensure the continuation of this program and added support is being requested to build capacity through a paid internship program to teach MACH Alum ni the skills needed to manage this program. This program continues to address the acute need for strong schools and communities. Beyond the immediate benefit the students receive, the school/community at large benefits from the reduction in behavioral issues and increase in volunteer contributions. This project supports the gro wth and development of youth in our community, promotes opportunities for civic engagement, instills community pride, enhances the quality of educational services, improves the welfare of our community, and overall positively impacts the quality of life for residents. This project leverages a variety of funding and in‐kind donation sources to maximize
outcomes; has demonstrated ROI, capacity for ability to execute program as outlined, specific goals to meet both tangible and intangible metrics, a defined timeline, and demonstrated adaptability.

Project Team
Our project is a program of the Cordova Lancers Leaders & Legends (CL3) organization and is fully supported by the CL3 Board of Directors, the MACH Program Coordinator and our on‐site Facilitators Conrade Mayer, Eric Mejia, and Peter Lane. Our project team also includes administration & staff members from each school site, CHS Alumni members, MA CH Alumni, MACH parents/guardians, Rancho Cordova residents, local business‐owners, and various partner organizations such as FCUSD, Cordova Community Council, City of Rancho Cordova, and RC PAL.

2 Project Goals

1. Ensure the continuation of the CL3 MACH Program at Cordova High, Mills, and Mitchell Middle Schools. 2. Maintain 75 to 125 participants in the MACH Program at Cordova High (current enrollment 87), and 20 to 50 participants in the MACH@Mills (current enrollment 45) and 20 to 50 participants in the MACH@Mitchell (curre nt enrollment below 20). 3. Promote and reward positive behavior, improved academics and attendance, community service involvement, and life and vocational skill development amongst participants. a. Positive behavior measured through PowerSchool and In House Supervisors tracking for decline in on and off campus incidences involving individual MACH members, to include reduction of students bein g sent to “in‐house”, off campus suspensions, district interventions, and expulsions. b. Improved academics measured through PowerSchool by reduction of failing grades and improving gpa’s with 2.0 minimum gpa as overall goal for under‐performers. Note: GPA only applicable at High School level. c.

Improved attendance measured through Po werSchool by comparing results from quarter to quarter for reduction in individual absences and late arrivals; and by comparing individual and group results to school, district and state results/standards for chronic absenteeism. d. Community service involvement measured through participation tracking by program coordinator and facilitators. e.

Life and Vocational skill development measured by involvement and level of participation by in dividual members in meetings and the outside opportunities made available to them in these areas. 4. Engage community members and business owners in various roles with this mentoring program. 5. Encourage parental involvement by providing specific parent/family engagement activities. 6.

Implement paid intern
ship program for MACH Alumni.

Funds are generally not intended to be used for deferred maintenance and ongoing operational needs. The funds are intended for community enhancement & investment.

Total Project Cost
$381,690
Estimated Breakdown of Project Expenditures
This year, funding is being requested to ensure the continuation of the year‐round MACH program at Cordova High; to ensure the continuation of the MACH@Mills program; to ensure the continuation of the MACH@Mitchell; to ensure the continuation of professional tutoring support. Estimated total cost $341,690 // requesting $113,000 in support. Funding is also bei ng requested to aid in building capacity by implementing a paid internship program that MACH Alumni are eligible to apply for. Plan is to identify up to 2 individuals that will spend 6 months learning the skills necessary to facilitate a program like this – planning and facilitation of meetings, coordination of vol
unteers, recruitment of members, etc… and then 6 month learning the skills necessary to manage a program like this – fund development, compiling and interpreting data, grant writing and reporting, etc… Estimated total cost $40,000 // requesting $10,000 in support. Total amount requested = $123,000. See attached bu dget breakdown for categories and expenditure projections.

Matching Funds
$258,690 cash and in kind combined. $171,290 in kind. $87,400 cash contributions. See attached budget breakdown.

Include Any Other Funding Contributions
$87,400 (see attached budget breakdown for cash contributions); anticipate receiving $7,500 volunteer grant renewal, up to $7,500 for annual fundraising event, applying for $30,000 County TOT grant to fund remainder needed for paid internship program, and will be seeking individual donations, grants, and hosting fundraising campaigns to fund the additional $42,400 needed to execute the program bu
dget as is. If shortfalls occur, budget cuts will be made accordingly.

Ongoing Operations and Maintenance Costs (if applicable) $3400 annual insurance premium.

Total Community Enhancement & Investment Funds Requested $387,757.50 total over 3 years (year 1 $123,000, year 2 $129,150, year 3 $135,607.50).

Is this a multi‐year request?
Yes
If you answered yes above, provide the number of years of grant funding you are requesting. 3 If you answered yes above, describe your sustainability plan and whether the project is viable as a single year request.

Application #58
ITEM 3.1.

ATTACHMENT 3

Page 478 of 933 ends

3 Although our project is viable as a single year request, we are asking for a 3‐year commitment to build capacity and ensure ongoing program sustainability. With a 3‐year funding commitment we believe we can successfully recruit 2 part time interns year 1 to begin learning program coordination and facilitator responsibilities, gradually in creasing their hours and responsibilities as we transition into year 2 so that by the end of year 3 they are ready to take on full responsibility of those roles.

How many years have you received funding for this project? 7 When will your request for funding sunset for ongoing programs? We have received funding for 7 years for the original MACH program at Cordova High (2016‐2022), 2 years for the expansion to Mills Middle School(2021‐2022), and 1 year for the expansion to Mitchell Middle School (2022). There is currently no sunset date planned for this ongoing program based on continuing need in ou r community to create equity and offer support services for some of our most vulnerable populations – at risk and under‐performing students from single parent and low‐income households.

Do you plan to ask annually for funding?
Yes
What other funding will you seek to support your project? Other funding will be sought from government and corporate grants, state employee and United Way giving campaigns, individual donors, online giving campaigns, existing partnerships for annual fundraisers, and development of an annual signature event fundraiser. In kind donations will also be sought from individuals, businesses, and local organizations.
