Bindy here is information that I’ve shared with Jennifer in the past on the program that we have completed at eight schools in Sacramento so far. We are applying for grant funding from Rancho Cordova to bring this program to your schools in their city and would love your input WOW US Project
Wide Open Walls Uplifting Schools
After 250 murals and six years of success in the Sacramento region WOW has changed its mission.

Up lifting schools, and neighborhoods through arts education, and a mural program in underserved neighborhoods in partnership with SCUSD. WOW US will be investing in Sacramento Schools by painting over 20 murals at each of their schools. A very diverse group of artists both locally and from around the country will be painting everything from historical and popular figures, landscapes, geometric designs, along with a great collection of street art, and messaging for the students.

The sucsess we have so far is over whelming, as is evidence from the attached letter. To date, WOWUS has painted over 200 murals on eight SCUSD campuses With your help our goal is to expand this program into all school districts in Sacramento county one school at a time.

Hi David,
I’m so sorry that I didn’t respond to your message last month. It’s been a little hectic in my world. I don’t have any updates at this time. I’m really hoping that sites will be able to use Prop 28 funds once we have them. In the meantime, if you have schools reaching out, feel free to get something started with them if they have the funds. It’s unlikely that we would roll out anything district-wide, it would be instead site by site.

Robin and I wanted to introduce myself and let you know that we are working on painting a series of murals at Kenney Prospect high school this month. We are applying for grant funding from the City Of Rancho Cordova and would like to be able to tell them that you have interest in expanding the program.

I’ve included some information about our program and would love it if all of you wouldn’t mind responding in the morning for our Grant deadline , to your interest in uplifting many more schools in your district.

To whom it may concern:

It has been my pleasure to work with Wide Open Walls this year. In October, my school was selected to have several artists create murals that were specific to our school and vision. Once the Wide Open Walls team started planning, there was very little I needed to do or prepare. For me, the entire experience with Wide Open Walls was flawless. They are well-planned and organized. The work that was done fits our school community; the work was fast and respected the workspace.

The murals completed at our school have greatly affected our school climate.

Students are seen daily enjoying each mural and finding something new. Our teachers walk the different spaces, enjoying the work, and talking about what they see and feel from each mural. Students are learning to express themselves through art and words. I also have heard from our surrounding community that they are very pleased with the artwork and believe this has improved the beauty of our school. Many neighbors have commented that when walking the neighborhood, they always find something new in the murals, and enjoy viewing them each time they pass.

I know from this experience I feel inspired. My school has always been beautiful to me and adding unique art to its walls has made our school just a little bit brighter and friendlier. I cannot thank Wide Open Walls enough for choosing us to share this wonderful gift. I would recommend that all Administrators advocate for your schools to become a partner with Wide Open Walls. Best decision ever! Sincerely,

To whom it may concern:

This letter of reference is in support of Wide Open Walls, having worked with them to produce more than thirty murals on the campus of Hiram Johnson High School in Sacramento City Unified School District. My name is Jill Thom and I am one of the Assistant Principals at the site, and the point person for WOW during planning and implementation.

Once Wide Open Walls team started planning, there was very little I needed to do or prepare.

Both David Sobon (CEO), and Heather Haight (Project Manager), made regular visits to the site to document sizes and locations of walls to best place artists with their vision. David also does extensive research on the school, neighborhood, and past celebrities to reflect the diverse historical stories throughout the generations.

WOW also met regularly with the art teachers to support them in creating student driven murals by class and individual. They financially supported that work and encouraged the students and staff to be involved. A few WOW artists also included HJHS students in contributing to their murals! This was a huge point of excitement for the students! As the artists started arriving on campus, Heather started to live at the school to ensure they were supported, and the impact did not fall on the school staff. The day of the event was more of the same. HJHS staff showed up, but the work was owned by WOW. They are wellplanned, organized, and excited about the project. Their energy and passion for this work is contagious and it was one the best weeks on the campus for staff and students.

The murals completed at our school have greatly affected our school climate. Students are seen daily enjoying each mural and finding something new. Our teachers walk the different spaces, enjoying the work, and talking about what they see and feel from each mural. Students are learning to express themselves through art and words. I also have heard from our surrounding community that they are very pleased with the artwork and believe this has improved the beauty of our school. Many neighbors have commented that when walking the neighborhood, they always find something new in the murals, and enjoy viewing them each time they pass.

The school has always been nice, but the addition of the murals has increased the beauty and interest tenfold. I cannot thank Wide Open Walls enough for choosing us to share this wonderful gift. I would recommend that all Administrators advocate for your schools to become a partner with Wide Open Walls. Best decision ever!

It is a distinct pleasure to share my experiences with my collaboration and work with Wide Open Walls. As the former Principal of Tahoe Elementary School, my first impression of the school campus in touring the grounds and taking personal snapshots of the the sight lines allowed me to challenge and suggest immediate changes to the climate and culture. Heather Haight, one of our wonderful Art Docents, and I walked the grounds together in August 2021, and I challenged her with, “Claim a Wall”, because it frankly was not acceptable. I asked Heather, “why do we have plain walls when we do not have plain students?” Heather accepted the challenge, and the rest of the progressive story is Wide Open Walls excellence! The efforts and unique collection of artists, themes, and culturally relevant presentations transformed the entire educational spaces into proud spaces of purposeful value for the community at large, the Sac City Unified School District, and City of Sacramento. The Wide Open Walls team executed the work and delivered what is clearly an exceptional blend of Passion, Purpose, and Precision with student focus and colorful displays. As one student exclaimed, “We have a whole new city at our school!”, upon their return the following Monday. My goal was to surprise the entire school body and Wide Open Walls surpassed this notion. Wide Open Walls are well-planned, organized, and keenly in tune with uplifting school spaces. The work is connected to our school community, respected, and efficient with minimal impact to the operational workspace.

The murals completed at our school have greatly affected our school climate. Students are seen daily enjoying each mural and finding something new. Our teachers walk the different spaces, enjoying the work, and talking about what they see and feel from each mural. Students are learning to express themselves through art and words. I have personally witnessed local residents and outsiders coming to take pictures and selfies to share. Community members and neighbors have expressed their appreciation and continued joy with what has transpired. The number of people that stop, pause, and
appreciate are far too many to count.

Tahoe Elementary School has reset the standards for educational purposes and Wide Open Walls are the stewards for that change! The efforts of many through Wide Open Walls and the donations of art expression are invaluable statements to why our students, families, and community stakeholders need each other for future success! I am proud to endorse and recommend that Administrators advocate for your schools to become a partner with Wide Open Walls. Historical Artistic Expressions Await!

To Whom It May Concern:

On behalf of the Sacramento City Unified School District, I am honored to endorse and support the Wide Open Walls organization and the amazing mural program they have brought to the Sacramento City Unified School District.

As a district, we work to provide opportunities for all students to learn, grow, and reach their greatness. We know that navigating distance learning during a global pandemic was incredibly challenging and has had detrimental effects on the social-emotional health and well-being of our students, even as they returned to the classroom. The needs of our students continue to be our priority, which is why our Climate, Culture, and Social Emotional Learning department has expanded our support systems to include unique visual and performing arts opportunities for our students.

Our partnership with Wide Open Walls is one such program and has produced, and continues to produce, incredible results at our school sites. While SCUSD continues to invest in our campuses by improving facilities and upgrading technology, Wide Open Walls has provided the students, parents, teachers, and community a sense of pride and ownership of the schools by providing dozens of enormous, high-quality murals at each site they visit. These projects have positively impacted the mental health and well-being of students all over our district.

Wide Open Walls’ expertise in managing these school-wide events is very evident. From planning the logistics of curating dozens of artists at the same time to paint murals on our blank walls, to giving students the opportunity to be a part of the creative process, these events have proven to be a great opportunity for our students and our district. With every event that we plan with Wide Open Walls, I can see our students' eyes light up with joy and pride. This partnership has been changing how communities view their schools. It has created opportunities for local artists and new-found interest from our students in the visual arts. Several schools that have hosted Wide Open Walls events have had an influx of parent interest and volunteers to create campus art rooms and projects.

Supporting Wide Open Walls' vision of “art for all” is something SCUSD has invested in and should be a priority for all that share the same vision. I am confident that Wide Open Walls will be able to recreate this experience for any school district that is willing to invest in their schools as much as we have. We will continue to support this organization as they expand their educational endeavors and fully recommend them to any school or district that wants to utilize the arts to improve student mental health and provide life-changing visual art experiences for its students.

Sacramento Splash | Youth Environmental Leadership Camp (YELC) Provide a
Project/Program
Synopsis
YELC will engage youth in local environmental issues, where they will learn how to protect air, water, energy, and ecosystems from the impacts of climate change and suburban development.

Provide a
Project/Program
Description
The Youth Environmental Leadership Camp (YELC) is an immersive summer program for 6th/7th-grade students. Campers attend a 1-week camp, Monday-Friday, from 8:30 am-5:30 pm in groups of 15. Each day of camp is assigned a theme with topics related to climate change: air quality, water, energy, transportation, food consumption and waste, land use, and open space. These themes are brought to life by organized field trips to various organizations and entities that are committed to making positive changes to the environment by addressing the above-named themes.

It is during these field trips that campers receive hands-on, guided experiences. They sample and collect data, and gain experience using some of the tools and materials that scientists and engineers use in their work. YELC students have the chance to engage with professional environmental scientists, engineers, social scientists, environmental protection activists, and many others, to learn about their careers and what educational paths they took so that they could work in their specific fields of expertise.

After the immersive camp week, campers are required to engage in their communities in a volunteer capacity. These volunteer experiences are organized by YELC program managers and are designed to connect campers with organizations that are making positive environmental impacts in their neighborhoods. These volunteer experiences may include tree plantings, community cleanups, or cleanups along the American River Parkway. Additionally, campers are required to organize a small fundraising event with a $40 minimum goal. This fundraiser will benefit an organization of the camper’s choice. (This organization cannot be Sacramento Splash.) The entire YELC programming concludes in December after all campers have had the opportunity to volunteer at least twice in their communities.

Once these volunteer and fundraising requirements have been met, campers are invited to the YELC closing ceremonies where they will present their experiences to their cohort.

Funds from the Community Enhancement and Investment Fund will go toward the personnel costs of the Youth Environmental Leadership Camp.

As with all education programs, quality personnel are essential to a successful experience for all participants and help to ensure that all participants have a safe, rewarding, and educational experience.

Additionally, these funds will go toward camper supplies such as backpacks, journals, bug spray, and sunscreen. We provide these items to all campers to make YELC an accessible experience for all students, regardless of their family's monetary resources. This level of accessibility further ensures that all participants have a rewarding and safe experience CEIF App #50
ITEM 12.4. ATTACHMENT 2

throughout YELC programming.

To ensure that these funds reach Rancho Cordova community members, YELC program staff have implemented scoring criteria that give any qualifying applicant from Rancho Cordova top preference in participating in Camp. This new scoring criteria ensures top placement for Rancho Cordova citizens and creates more opportunities for Rancho Cordova citizens to receive quality environmental education experiences.

Additionally, Splash staff will make an effort to include Rancho Cordova as a focus area for our volunteering opportunities. The volunteering events will bring YELC participants and their families to Rancho Cordova where they will focus on creating a cleaner community, whether by tree planting or neighborhood cleanup events. These volunteering events could impact hundreds of people in the Rancho Cordova community--directly and indirectly--and have the potential to make a positive impact on years to come.

The YELC program is aligned with the following grant criteria: Children and Youth, Civic Engagement, Education, Community Pride, and Quality of Life.

Adaptability: What is
your plan to complete
your project/program
should any
challenges arise?
YELC is already designed to function with California Health and/or Sacramento County Health orders in mind. Our group size is very small and the vast majority of YELC field trip activities take place outside where there is plenty of air ventilation. Splash is prepared to enforce social distancing and masking measures, should they be required.

Additionally, Sacramento Splash is well-versed in holding virtual classes and camps, as that is how we were able to bring environmental education to students during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic. If California Health and/or Sacramento County Health orders change and prohibit inperson events, YELC will be transitioned to a digital model where campers will have virtual laboratory and field experiences that include live online observation and measurement, microscope use, and digital journaling. 4 - Project/Program Location

Sunrise Elementary (EGUSD): Garden Project
Provide a
Project/Program
Synopsis
Our school community garden has expanded over the past several years.

We have raised garden beds, irrigation, a storage shed and tools. Students have been gardening and growing vegetables and flowers. Our aim is to make the space a fully functioning outdoor classroom with tables and seating for student use.

Provide a
Project/Program
Description
Our outdoor garden area has slowly grown to include a connection to drip irrigation, raised beds, a functional shed with gardening tools, and actual student plantings. We have purchased several tables and benches and are currently utilizing stumps for "seating area." Our aim is to outfit the garden area with a full complement of tables and chairs (some of which would be wheelchair accessible) so as to build an outdoor learning classroom. The vision is to eliminate what the research calls, "Nature Deficit Disorder". We aim to overcome the draw of remaining indoors due to the digital age we live in. We envision children learning outdoors in cross-curricular ways as they plant their vegetables and flowers, learn the science of horticulture and the source of their food, while also using math skills like measuring and graphing, informational reading about what they are growing, and utilizing writing domains like report writing or narrative writing to tell the story of what they are learning on their garden plot.

Our garden coordinator teacher colleague, who has been trained by Soil Born farms, and who recruited Boy Scouts to help build our beds and coordinate our garden project work days with our community will assist us in unit construction and placement in our garden area.

Tell us about your
Project/Program
Team
Our Sunrise Garden Project is coordinated by teacher, Moira Young. Other teacher leaders at each grade level collaborate with her to determine garden plots, appropriate plants to plant at different seasons, and we emphasize native plant to support the fauna of our neighborhood ecosystem. Mrs. Young coordinates her efforts with our Parent Faculty Organization as well as site administrators. Our Eco Club, a student run club of nature lovers, also supports our collective efforts to get dirt under the fingernails of our students.

Provide your
Project/Program
Goals
Our goal is to provide adequate seating for outdoor learning. The tables we are purchasing are inclusive and allow for wheelchair access so that all of our students regardless of diverse physical abilities have access to learning, and access to our school community garden.

To help offset the cost to Sunrise Elementary students, families and staff we ask for grant support to help offset the total cost to participants.

Sunrise Elementary (EGUSD): Multipurpose Room Sound System Provide a
Project/Program
Synopsis
Sunrise Elementary was originally built and opened in 2007. Since then, our sound system has dwindled in effective wireless microphones from four microphones, down to one.

Provide a
Project/Program
Description
We are proposing to upgrade our wireless microphone and receiver system by replacing two wireless receivers and updating our WIFI-enabled amplified audio system that supports two wireless microphones (as well as a wired microphone), a control panel and loudspeakers. The installation will include existing system infrastructure to minimize the cost. An effective wireless microphone system will support our daily breakfast and lunch programs, our monthly character assemblies, our enrichment assemblies and student activities (like the talent show and musical), as well as support parent and community meetings in our multi-purpose room. As our multipurpose room is also utilized by outside groups for church services, basketball and taekwondo leagues and competitions, an upgraded and functional sound system will support the school and wider community.

Tell us about your
Project/Program
Team
Principal Hock, Secretary Lindsay King, and Musical Teacher Trevor Harding have been working with an approved EGUSD vendor, "Quality Sound", to estimate costs and plan for this upgrade.

Provide your
Project/Program
Goals
An upgraded sound system will be measured qualitatively. The current quality of our sound is poor, and with one working microphone barely adequate. Our aim is to improve the overall audio experience of guests to our school and serve our learning community, and the broader community who utilizes our facility space.

A schedule is difficult to determine. If funding is secured, we will execute the order and plan an installation window where the current equipment is decommissioned, and the new equipment is installed, and staff are trained on its use. Our aim would be to purchase in July 2024 with the hope that the system would be received and installed no later than November. It would likely be sooner. Everything would be accomplished well before the June 2025 deadline.

Adaptability: What is

If for any reason installation could not happen by June 2025, we would kindly communicate with the City Enhancement Fund team and ask for an extension. With the order occurring in July 2024, it seems unlikely that an install could not happen within one year.

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. Ongoing costs associated with the Food, Health and Environmental Career Pathway include staffing for coordination of education programs, delivery of school garden supports, and school district partnership facilitation; supply costs for instruction and garden operation; and operation costs of maintaining Soil Born Farms as a dynamic learning center. 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.

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 supplies and plant starts, teacher training, garden instructional assistance, and garden-based extracurricular 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’s strong Career Technical Education program. The school’s Agriculture and Culinary Academies align perfectly with Soil Born Farms’ mission and work, and their proximity to our farm education center make for a phenomenal 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.

Soil Born Farms: Food, Health and Environmental Career Pathway Program Project Description
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, Cordova Meadows, Riverview STEM, Peter J. Shields, and Rancho Cordova Elementaries; Mitchell Middle School; and Cordova High School (CHS), with additional school sites incorporated as school and teacher capacity permits.

This career pathway brings topics from the classroom to life through a continuum of garden-based education spanning K-12th grades. School gardens operating at every scale are used to deliver engaging lessons, sustained through a framework of support by Soil Born Farms. Farm field trips and job training provide students with in-depth real-world learning and career exploration, all within the rich landscape of Soil Born Farms’ learning gardens, agricultural plantings and wild spaces.

With support from the City of Rancho Cordova, Soil Born Farms' Youth Education team will collaborate with Folsom Cordova Unified School District (FCUSD) on 3 focal areas for the 2024-25 school year:
1) K-8 Farm- and Garden-Based Education: Soil Born Farms will continue to support and deliver experiential farm- and garden-based education for elementary and middle school grades as the foundation of the Food, Health and Environmental Career Pathway. This year our focus is on developing flexible school garden programming that meets the needs and abilities of each partner school site. At some schools every classroom will participate in a full schedule of school garden lessons supported by college interns. Some schools will receive culturally-appropriate plant starts and organic garden supplies; others will receive activity support for after-school garden clubs.

Teachers can opt to participate with individual classes during in-depth field trips to Soil Born Farms, to grow their skills through school garden teacher trainings, and/or to participate in our new Gardens to Grow On classroom-sized garden package. Regardless of the activity, the Food, Health and Environmental Career Pathway’s overarching goal is to provide multiple points of contact with garden-based learning throughout students’ educational careers, building children’s literacy in agriculture, health and stewardship, and inspiring them to stay engaged through high school.

New this year, Soil Born Farms will launch a Gardens to Grow On package designed to help schools overcome the challenge of maintaining a school garden. This program will deliver self-contained Grow Bag planters for teachers to keep right outside their classrooms, complete with healthy soil, seasonal organic plants, and curriculum designed by Soil Born Farms’ educators. Crops will align with locally-procured produce in school cafeterias, and teachers will be supported with training and technical assistance.

2) Career Technical Education with Cordova High School: The Food, Health and Environmental Career Pathway culminates with experiential education, job training and career exploration opportunities for students of Cordova High School, located adjacent to Soil Born Farms. While our emphasis is on partnering with the school’s Agriculture Academy Career Technical Education program, all Rancho Cordova teens ages 14-18 are encouraged to participate. Our aim this year is to continue engaging more teens overall, and provide each participant with repeated interactions across multiple work experience areas. New in 2024, Soil Born Farms is establishing a ½ acre Training Garden Plot designed for CHS students to dig into hands-on, standards-aligned learning, during formal field trips hosted by Soil Born Farms’ educators and independent visits led by CHS teachers.

Ag Academy students will be trained to lead elementary students in garden activities during crossage mentoring events at Cordova Gardens Elementary. Cordova High School internships will be expanded to both spring and fall semesters, allowing students to earn high school credit while receiving mentorship, training and hands-on work experience in Soil Born Farms’ production fields, orchards, learning gardens, youth education programs, and greenhouses. Teens who wish to pursue further experience will be offered summertime/after school paid job training at Soil Born Farms.

These programs are laying the foundation for future launch of the Animal Education Program at Soil Born Farms upon completion of Animal Barn construction (estimated late 2025), which will provide CHS students with phenomenal hands-on education at the intersection of regenerative agriculture, natural resource management and animal science.
3) FCUSD Partnership Development: This past year has been one of great momentum for our partnership with FCUSD, and we are excited to keep building on successes. In fall 2023 FCUSD Food Services began procuring locally-grown produce for the first time. The department plans to CEIF App #54

substantially expand local food purchasing in the 2024-25 school year, and is partnering with Soil Born Farms to launch nutrition-focused education in alignment with school garden and farm field trip lessons. FCUSD administrative engagement with Farm to School and Career Pathway planning remains strong. At the school site level, we’ve experienced strong interest in expansion of school garden education, with Cordova Gardens Elementary recently working with Soil Born Farms to establish a plan for every class to engage in garden learning - a first for our city’s schools. These are all very exciting advancements in Rancho Cordova’s farm to school movement. Through this proposal we will map out a partnership Work Plan for the Food, Health and Environmental Career Pathway, detailing annual program activities and tasks, and creating a nuts-and-bolts complement to the existing MOU between Soil Born Farms and FCUSD.

COMMUNITY BENEFIT:

This project 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. Career Pathway development 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 collaborative 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 garden upkeep. This proposal continues to build creative, win-win strategies for supporting and sustaining these vital programs.

Description
The Student and Landowner Education and Watershed Stewardship Program is dynamic, complex and flush with opportunities to make an impact on the land, our climate and in the lives of youth across California.

With the goal of creating environmental change, SLEWS students have been instrumental in planting hedgerows across Northern California.

Establishing over 150 miles of plants, trees, and shrubs (roughly the distance from Sacramento to Reno), students have assisted their communities by reducing carbon emissions, increasing water retention, creating beneficial pollinator habitat and corridors for the surrounding wildlife. Working to impact the larger community, SLEWS students have completed a variety of restoration projects including urban tree reforesting, wetland remediation, and bank stabilization projects. Over the past two years we have worked with the Sacramento Tree Foundation to provide George Washington Carver high school students with direct and impactful experiences that connect their classroom learning with real on-the-ground projects while also exposing them to college and career opportunities in the field of natural resources. Working to ensure our students are become strong advocates for themselves and the community of Rancho Cordova we have seen the direct impact our programming can have on student's participation in community-based action. With a strong desire to continue supporting the college and career development of students in the City of Rancho Cordova we would like to request support to engaged students from Cordova High School and George Washington Carver School of Arts and Sciences in the SLEWS Program.

We have seen first hand the impact the SLEWS Program can have on student by connecting their classroom learning to the real world, providing students with transformative 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 further our reach among the Rancho Cordova community by providing more high school students with this crucial learning opportunity. 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 from the local community to mentor students throughout 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 nonprofit organizations, SLEWS projects have a real & lasting impact on the land. Since its inception, students have planted over 85,000 native trees/shrubs, 350,000 grass/forbs plugs, and installed 840 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 stewardship values in high school students.

Goals
Through multi-phased fieldwork and associated in-class lessons, students build knowledge, perspective and personal connection to the land. Each 30-student cohort is matched with a regional restoration project and participates in ecological field studies where youth discover careers and college opportunities in natural resource management and environmental science. Students see the lasting impact of their work over multiple visits to their adopted project. As an organization our mission is to inspire, educate, and cultivate future generations of farmers, agricultural leaders and natural resource stewards. Equipping students with the workforce development and leadership skills they need to be competitive in the job market we are ensuring students from the City of Rancho Cordova have the opportunity to put their best foot forward regardless of what career path they take. 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 students 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 survey results indicate 94% of students are more interested in careers related to agriculture or natural resources after participating in the SLEWS program and an impressive 96% 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, demonstrating 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.

As a well established program, the Center for Land-Based Learning's SLEWS Program has worked to ensure sustainability when it comes to project planning and implementation from year to year. Working with a variety of partners (restoration lead, landowner, school, mentors, etc.) we continue to cultivate sustainable relationships within the community and find our program truly thrives when funding spans multiple years allowing us to continue supporting our already established relationships. Over the past two years we have requested multi-year funding, but have only been approved for a single-year request each year. As a program that continues to grow we hope our continued interest in support by the Community Enhancement & Investment Fund shows our ability to put on programming that is worth a multi-year contract.

Adaptability: What is
your plan to complete
your project/program
should any
challenges arise?
With over 23 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 has 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 Sacramento 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 projects 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 our projects are completed well before the end of June.

Understanding the many challenges that can occur such as weather delays, COVID, and testing schedule adjustments we work to plan backup days with our schools to ensure we always have multiple opportunities to complete work within the scheduled time period.

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 time. We have spent the last three 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 pasts seasons going above and beyond the recommended standard of protection including the requirement of vaccination for 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 include 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.

If your

please list other or

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 over the summer. Longtime restoration partners like Yolo County Resource Conservation District and the Sacramento Tree Foundation 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 late 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, Sacramento City Sewer District, the Cordova Recreation & Park District as well as various other partners 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 Franklin Channel, Yolo Bypass Wildlife Area, Capay Open Space 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.

2239 Chase Drive, Rancho Cordova, CA 95670 Principal, Amy Strawn Assistant Principal, Michele Brown
Assistant Principal, Dr. Freddy Castro
Assistant Principal, Dr. Carrie Jackson
Assistant Principal, Cody Owens
To Whom It May Concern,
It is with great excitement that I write this letter of support for the Center for Land-Based Learning –Student and Landowner Education and Watershed Stewardship (SLEWS) Program. We are delighted to establish a new partnership with the Center for Land-Based Learning and expand the learning opportunities for our students.

Cordova High School is an extremely diverse place. It is a Title I school with a student body that is composed of 52% of students who are economically disadvantaged, 70% of students from minority backgrounds, and almost 16% of students who are English Language Learners. The SLEWS Program would be working with the Agriculture Academy students, which reflects the diversity of the entire school. Additionally, the Agriculture Academy requires 50% of the academy population to be “at-risk” students. As a result, by giving Cordova High School students the opportunity to be a part of a program like SLEWS, it will give some of the most vulnerable students on campus an experience they wouldn’t otherwise have.

The Agriculture Academy program at Cordova High School is a four-year pathway starting at the 9th grade. In the academy agriculture is used as the learning vehicle to which students build science skills and knowledge through exciting hands-on and interactive lessons. However, despite the use of a school garden and field trips to Soil Born Farms, Cordova High School Agriculture Academy is uniquely challenged with giving students real world, hands-on experiences in agriculture and environmental education while being located in the heart of the city of Rancho Cordova. It is our hope that the SLEWS Program can provide more in-depth hands-on experiences to our students; thus, further enhancing what they are learning in the classroom and connecting it to the real world. Additionally, many of our students are not exposed to potential careers in agriculture and environmental sciences, and the SLEWS Program would expose our students to career and college opportunities.

We are grateful for the opportunity to be a part of the SLEWS Program and we hope to use this program as a way to expand the learning experience for students and help them gain hands-on environmental science experiences. In conclusion, we give our enthusiastic support to the SLEWS Program and we look forward to working together to provide students with the chance to make a positive impact on their communities.

Please reach out if you have any questions.

Sincerely,
Holly Chesnut
Cordova High School Agriculture Academy

Cordova High School and American River Bike Patrol Junior Patrol Cycling Collaboration
Provide a
Project/Program
Synopsis
The American River Bike Patrol will collaborate with Cordova High School to create a robust cycling program that includes a fall and spring program for 25 students and involve more than 200 students in other cycling activities in year one of the program.

Provide a
Project/Program
Description
Cordova High School is less than a quarter of a mile from the American River Parkway, a beautiful 31-mile trail running next to the American River.

The school also owns 50 Trek Mountain Bikes that had not been used for almost ten years until the fall of 2023. In September of last year, the American River Bike Patrol (ARBP), a three-year-old organization providing hospitality, first aid, and mechanical assistance to trail users, offered a tenweek program to school administrators that would introduce at-risk students to cycling on the American River Parkway, to simple first aid and bike maintenance skills, and to earning a brand new Trek Bicycle through their active participation. Twenty ARBP mentors signed up to assist program participants in this effort.

On Day One, 18 students showed up. They were fitted on bikes, learned how to shift gears, pump air into their tires, and, for some, how to get on and ride their bikes. They were taken to the trail and all rode at least five miles. They could not believe what they had accomplished. Some said they didn't know the trail was there. One said he didn't know there was a river there. Over the next ten weeks, miles were added each Saturday. Program participants were told that on the tenth week, they would ride the entire length of the trail. If they accomplished that goal, they will earn a new bicycle to keep for their own. On December 16, 2023, fifteen students rode from Beale's Point to Discovery Park, the entire length of the American River Parkway. Each of the students earned a brand-new bicycle. Parents, friends, supporters, mentors, and other patrol members were at Discovery Park to celebrate the accomplishment. KCRA-TV was there to record the event, which aired that night on the evening news.

Students learned about the joys of riding a bike. One student said, "If I can do this, I can do anything!" Mentors gained a new appreciation for the challenges these young people faced. Teachers and administrators at the school saw the value of a program that got the students away from their screens, out into nature, and feeling good about themselves. The ARBP was challenged to grow the program. This proposal is about what will be done if it gets funded.

The overall goal of this program is for the American River Bike Patrol to work collaboratively with Cordova High School to build a robust cycling program that includes a repeat of the program described above but is not limited to that. The school still owns fifty Trek bicycles. Those bikes will be used not only for the program but also in physical education programs, after-school rides, bike mechanics training classes, and in other ways.

Students already riding their bikes to school will be provided support, encouragement, bike maintenance training classes, and safe riding skills to make their rides to and from school more enjoyable and safer.

A member of the ARBP will receive a stipend to work an average of eight hours a week at the school. He/she will provide awareness, structure, and leadership for the program. He/she will work with administrators, teachers, and students to build a cycling program at the school. The activities will include a fall and spring program geared to introducing students to the joys of cycling, the beauty and challenges of riding on the American River Parkway trails, and the opportunities of being of service to other trail users.

Students who finished the program in the fall of 2023 are now being offered a spring program in 2024. They will add to their cycling skills by learning how to ride safely on the streets and load their bikes on buses and the Light Rail system. They will also learn how to watch out for and ride safely in traffic and maintain their bikes. First aid, CPR, and Stop the Bleed classes will be offered through the American Red Cross. The goal here is to introduce students to using bikes as transportation to school and jobs as well as recreational riding.

Funds requested for this program will be used to cover the stipend for the ARBP staffer, purchase bikes and equipment, and assist the current CHS student body to become active, safe bike riders. They will also be introduced to the American River Parkway, and how they can be of service to other trail users through the American River Bike Patrol.

Tell us about your
Project/Program
Team
The team will be made up of the Principal at Cordova High School and the ARBP staffer who will be on the on-site coordinator and a teacher/bike-club leader. The team will also include other teachers, coaches and at least 25 American River Bike Patrol members who will be mentors to students.

Please note: All outside mentors will be approved volunteers through the Folsom/Cordova School District including being LiveScanned and passing the SafeSport training program, a sex abuse prevention training program.

Leaders from the American River Bike Patrol will provide on-going support and encouragement for the program.

Provide your
Project/Program
Goals
Goal #1: By utilizing existing opportunities (proximity to trail, ownership of 50 bicycles, history of positive collaboration) this project will create a more robust cycling program at Cordova High School, including support for at least 100 students riding bikes to school, offering five PE cycling programs, organizing after school fun rides on the trail for up to 50 students, and more formal fall and spring programs to deepen participation for at least 25 students
Goal #2: By appointing a member of the American River Bike Patrol to work an average of 8 hours per week for up to 30 weeks in the school to facilitate the building of a cycling program, the high school will have the structure, and direction needed to accomplish these goals.

Goal #3: By recruiting at least 25 new students to the fall and spring programs, the project will complete a multi-week program that introduces atrisk students to cycling, prepares them for riding on the Parkway, introduces them to the ARBP, and offers the opportunity to earn a brand new bicycle by riding the entire length of the trail by the final weeks of the program.

Goal #4: By recruiting at least 20 ARBP members and other volunteers to become mentors to the students at CHS, the project will build friendships and community support for the school and engage the community at large.

Patrol members will provide mechanics training classes, first aid skills, and periodic bike maintenance classes.

Goal #5: By establishing an advisory board for the program made up of the principal, a parent, a teacher, two patrol members, and two students, the program will have oversight and accountability. Parent involvement will be encouraged in every aspect of the program.

Goal #6: By focusing on the first five goals above, approximately 200 students will participate and engage in one or more of these programs in the first year.

Just before we started the 2023 fall program, Jerad Hyden left his job as principal of CHS. Amy Strawn was appointed as interim principal. ARBP Members immediately met with her to fill her in on the program and to make whatever adjustments needed to be made. She strongly supported the program, but made some important adjustments. What we learned is that change happens and that we can adjust. All the dates above will be subject to potential amendment. What we know is that there are a lot of moving parts and if we are patient, listen to one another, we can move ahead and succeed. That is what we will do with this project in the coming year. 4 - Project/Program Location

RE: Community Enhancement and Investment Fund
American River Bike Patrol/Cordova High School Collaboration ________________________________________________________________________ To Whom It May Concern:

I write to register my strong support for the above-mentioned program. My name is Jerad Hyden and I am presently working for the Sacramento City Unified School District as the Instructional Assistant Superintendent. Until August of 2023, I was the Principal at Cordova High School.

About a year ago, I was approached by representatives of the American River Bike Patrol about establishing a Youth Patrol Program at Cordova High School. I am usually pretty skeptical of programs coming from outside the district, but there was something about this one that rang true.

In addition, I knew that the school was in possession of fifty Trek Bicycles that had been in storage for a number of years. The program being suggested would put those bikes to good use.

After several discussions, I gave the green light to move ahead.

I was then offered the job with Sacramento City and turned over the principal job to Amy Strawn.

I recommended that she continue with the program. Although I have been away from Cordova High School, I have watched with interest how the Junior Patrol Program was unfolding. I write now to say that it more than fulfilled my expectations. Two weeks ago, I was invited by Principal Strawn to attend a reunion/reception for the students who participated in the program along with the twenty or so mentors who assisted. I was simply blown away by what the youth shared about their experience of learning to ride, finding out about the American River Parkway, and then finally riding the entire 31 miles from Beale’s Point to Discovery Park.

My understanding is that the proposal being presented to the CEIF is to expand the program and to build a more robust cycling program at Cordova High School. It would continue to be a collaboration between the American River Bike Patrol and the high school. The fact that the school is located a block away from the Parkway and already owns 50 bikes makes this a perfect place to go deeper and do more.

I hope this proposal will be fully funded.

Respectfully submitted,
Jerad Hyden, Ed.D.

Find Your Voice Creative Writing Workshop Series
Provide a
Project/Program
Synopsis
916 Ink will partner with classroom teachers and school site administrators to provide high-quality, creative writing workshops for 100, 3-12 grade Rancho Cordova students at 4 school sites. All participating students will have the opportunity to become a published author.

Provide a
Project/Program
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 have the opportunity to become a published author in an anthology of student work. Students will learn the basics of storytelling, introductory poetry 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 engaged in the creative 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 encouraged 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 other sequentially as part of 916 Ink's "My Heroic 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 3-5 pieces of their work for publication. Students also learn how to perform their work for an audience in preparation for 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.

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 increasingly 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 and 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. Additionally, 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 measure immediate, intermediate, and longterm 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 for 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 the City to find a suitable solution, so that we can still provide this program to students in Rancho Cordova in a timely fashion. 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 programs successfully for Rancho Cordova students.

Project/Program
Description
Our project will span the duration of a school semester and a small amount of time in the first semester of 2025, during which we will conduct a series of workshops, hands-on training sessions, and mentorship opportunities for high school juniors and seniors attending Kinney High School and Prospect Community Day School. The program will cover various aspects of short film production, including but not limited to:

1. Concept Development: Teaching students how to develop compelling story ideas, create engaging characters, and craft meaningful narratives suitable for short films.

2. Pre-Prodcution: Educating students on the fundamentals of preproduction, including scriptwriting, storyboarding, casting, location scouting, and budgeting.

3. Production: Providing hands-on experience with camera operation, lighting techniques, sound recording, directing actors, and other essential skills for successful film production.

4. Post-Prodcution: Introducing students to the art of editing, sound design, color grading, and other post-production processes using industry-standard software.

5. Distribution and Exhibition: Guiding students on strategies for promoting their films, submitting to film festivals, and showcasing their work to a wider audience.

After the program concludes, we will organize a film festival where all the films developed during the course term will be screened. Family and friends of the students will be invited as will the Mayor and City Council to award any prizes which we will solicit once the course begins. This will take place early in the first semester of 2025.

Our project aims to provide Rancho Cordova High School students with a transformative learning experience that will not only enhance their technical skills in short film production but also foster their creativity, critical thinking, and collaborative abilities as they will be required to work in groups of five.

We hope to empower the next generation of filmmakers and storytellers, enriching their educational journey and preparing them for success in the creative industry with the hope this course will open students' minds to a possible career in thefilm and TV production industry. production Tell us about your
Project/Program
Team
The team will consist of Rancho Cordova Film Office staff.

Executive Director Charles Lago will oversee the program and lead the team consisting of, Jose Ruiz, Rafael Portillo, and Sidney Stipp all team members at the Rancho Cordova Film Office who are all experienced in filmmaking, script writing/development, lights sound, and editing and who have taught a similar course in the past.

We will also have an accredited teacher from the Folsom Cordova School District (in all probability a staff member of Kinney High School) present at each session for the course to count toward the student's graduation.

Youth Mentoring Initiative
Provide a
Project/Program
Synopsis
Big Brothers Big Sisters of Greater Sacramento would like to partner with the city to meet the need of youth and family requests for expansion of our services in Rancho Cordova by adding 20 local matches.

Provide a
Project/Program
Description
Since 1964, our agency has cleared a path to the brightest possible future for youth within our ten county footprint including Sacramento, Placer, San Joaquin, Stanislaus, Yuba, Yolo, Sutter, Lake, Butte and Colusa Counties.

Our one-to-one mentoring program benefits children, ages 6-18, raised by single parents, grandparents, and foster families. Our vision is that all youth strive to realize their full potential and create their best possible future. By partnering with parents/guardians, volunteers, and community members, we are accountable for ensuring every child in our program has the opportunity to set higher aspirations, gain greater confidence, experience being involved in healthy relationships, build skills and tools to help avoid risky situations/behaviors, and receive resources and support to reach their educational goals. Our families report household income and 98% of the children currently being served are considered low or moderate income, and 87% receive free or reduced lunch at school. Socioeconomically disadvantaged children in our community are vulnerable to the consequences of poverty including substance abuse, school truancy, gang involvement and academic failure.

We match these youth with a positive, caring, consistent adult role model that we call a “BIG” we feel would be a great match. Each “BIG” commits to a minimum of one year, four hours a month to establish and build trust with their Little by being consistent and getting to know them. In return, youth in our program gain confidence, build interpersonal skills, improve their grades and begin to envision a brighter future for themselves.

Tell us about your
Project/Program
Team
The City of Rancho Cordova is the funder along with other local individuals and corporations. We work with the school and other non-profit partners for youth referrals. We partner with local businesses and community groups like the Kiwanis Club to seek volunteers (we would also love to plan a targeted recruitment of city staff to become BIGS). Our staff who would be working on this project includes our CEOpartnerships/recruitment/fundraising/oversight; Bookkeeper- expense tracking; Sr. Programs Manager- Enrollment/Interviews/Training/Vetting; and Match Support Specialist- match making/support/activities/evaluation.

Goals
The Big Brothers Big Sisters Service Delivery Model is evidence-based and used nationwide providing a standardized guide, based on research and empirical evidence, for how agencies should engage volunteers, youth, and parents or guardians to achieve safe, long, strong matches with the best possible youth outcomes. We are intentional about the youth served and the volunteers engaged in order to meet the critical needs in our community. We define success by measuring positive youth outcomes, the number of youth effectively served by the program, and the lifelong success and community benefits that follow. We measure the quality of our programs and the strength of the mentoring relationships through the Youth Outcomes Survey(YOS) and the Strength of Relationships Survey(SOR).

The YOS tracks our Little’s growth in: scholastic competency, educational expectations, self-assessment, social acceptance, parental trust and attitudes toward high risk behavior. The SOR measures the level of emotional attachment, satisfaction, and connection between the mentor and the child. Research clearly shows that the stronger the mentoring relationship, the better the children fare. As a result of being mentored for at least twelve (12) months in the program, 93% of our youth participants have shown improvement in areas of social acceptance, self-confidence, parental trust, social emotional wellness, mental health and parental trust.

The Big Brothers Big Sisters service delivery model has also proven to have profound impacts on the educational attainment of the youth we serve. At least 78% of the children we serve have fewer days of absenteeism from school after six months of being matched with a mentor. 83% of the youth we serve have improved or increased their academic performance after six months of being matched with a mentor. The youth in our program also feel more connected on campus. At least 60% of the youth we serve have improved social acceptance (self-esteem, peer relationships and family interactions) leading to a decrease in behavioral issues. Mentoring also has proven to have long term positive impacts on educational attainment. Youth with a mentor are 55% more likely to enroll in post-secondary college (Hart Research National survey) and 76% more likely to participate in a leadership club/after school program.

Our goals for this program would be to have 90% of our program participants be matched for more than 6 months and achieve the milestones mentioned above. Our secondary goal would also be to identify five new partners in the area to continue to grow, expand and sustain our efforts over time.

or will seek other

Yes, actively seeking funding support or have secured additional funding support for this project/program.

Describe any funding
secured or being
sought for this
project/program?
We are a 100% community funded program relying on local partnerships to fund our services that we offer at no cost to families in need. Year round, we seek funding from government agencies, corporate partners and individuals. Luckily the cost of sustaining our program is very minimal compared to the upfront costs of making and supporting new matches. The reason for this is the majority of costs for our model are for personnel to recruit, vet, train, interview, place and support/coach new participants.

After the first year, matches become pretty self sufficient so we seek funding for new matches. We accomplish this through a diverse fundraising approach including writing grants, hosting fundraisers and asking for individual major contributions.

Please describe any
ongoing operations
and maintenance
costs beyond Fiscal
Year 2024/2025, if
applicable.

Because our program takes place out in the community, it does not require a large facility or space to operate. Our only operating costs involve space for our small staff to work from and meet individually with parents/youth and volunteers interested in participating in our program.

We are dedicated to providing an expansion of our services in Rancho Cordova and are prepared to pivot if needed to still get to our goal. If the project was not fully funded, we would be able to serve as many matches as we are funded for rather than not being able to carry out the project at all. We have had to pivot to virtual mentoring, changes in vetting/training requirements changes in national program polices. We continue to find ways to adapt and connect youth in need with positive caring adults in our community because we know the impact it can have.

President/CEO
Dear Mr. Peterson and community members,
When I come to school each morning, I see so many smiling faces. The smiles of young children can brighten your day no matter how sad, lonely or anxious you are feeling. It is a wonderful feeling. Unfortunately, some children have a much more difficult time smiling than their peers. When I look at what these seemingly unhappy children have in common, I realize that most of them have a missing puzzle piece in their lives. The commonality that many of them share is the loss of a parent. The missing parent may have left their lives for a short time or permanently for a variety of reasons. But the emotional hole that is left with them, seems to bring them sadness, understandably.

I would love to see these students smile. I believe that with positive mentorship and guidance from caring adults, these children will have a much more positive life experience. I believe there are so many people in our community with so many special gifts of love and mentorship to share. This could certainly be a win-win for both parties.

Please consider supporting the Big Brothers Big Sisters outreach program for youth in our area. I know that this support is what our children desperately need. I would like to be considered as a referral liaison for the program. If you have any questions please reach out to me.

Sincerely,
Janell Marton

Sunrise Elementary (EGUSD): Track and Playground Refresh Provide a
Project/Program
Synopsis
Our running track and playground fall material are in need of a refresh and upgrade. We aim to improve the existing track and playground fall material by using all weather surfacing and rubberized material.

Provide a
Project/Program
Description
This proposal is to improve the existing running track and the playgrounds with all-weather surfacing for our student community. The current running track surface is decomposed granite which requires frequent maintenance to freshen the surface material and eliminate weeds. Over time, the surface has become unlevel and not usable during rainy weather. An allweather material would improve safety for students with varying ability levels and would also greatly reduce required maintenance. In addition, we would like to add equipment along the track's perimeter that is engaging to students, and which also support physical health.

In addition, the footing or fall material in both playground areas is currently shredded bark, which like the track, requires frequent monitoring and maintenance to ensure safety. This proposal includes removing the bark and replacing with rubberized material that requires little to no maintenance, is cleaner, safer and fully barrier free.

Tell us about your
Project/Program
Team
The administration in concert with Susan Bell in our EGUSD Facilities Department and Director Gulden collaborated on this project.

Provide your
Project/Program
Goals
Our goal in improving our existing track and playgrounds is to increase student safety, add accessibility for varying ability levels, including students with disabilities, and reduce maintenance costs and time.

Improved facilities will encourage play for children as well as physical activity and exercise for better health. Qualitative measures will be used to measure student use and satisfaction with improved facilities.

With grant approval, in coordination with our EGUSD Facilities Department, we would order supplies for the refresh of the track and playground fall material. The EGUSD Facilites team would coordinate delivery and removal of current materials, as well as coordinate installation of new materials for the track, exercise equipment and playground fall material. As a year-round school, we would begin ordering equipment and supplies in July 2024 and the EGISD Facilites team would then establish a timeline for removal and installation. An estimated timeline would indicate this could be a year-long project to complete.

Adaptability: What is

If we experience delays for any reason Principal Hock would communicate with the Community Enhancement team from the City to apply for an extension, but the hope would be that this project could be completed in a timely way and within the grant cycle year.
