Exhibit B —Scope of Services —Fiscal Year 2011-12 <br /> Orange County Outside Agency Performance Agreement Certification <br /> Funded Amount: $20,000 <br /> Agency: Planned Parenthood of Central North Carolina <br /> Program: Education Programs <br /> Purpose: Train 24 Orange County youth as Peer Educators, 12 of whom will be Latino. <br /> Peer Educators will receive 40 hours of training around issues of sexuality, healthy <br /> relationships, and other areas of concern and interest to youth. Trained Peer Educators will <br /> work within their schools and communities to disseminate this information to an additional <br /> 720 youth. <br /> Through our digital initiatives aimed at reaching young people and communicating with <br /> them in ways relevant to their lives, young people will access up-to-date, accurate <br /> reproductive health information, find out about our health services, get involved or <br /> volunteer, make an appointment, or even order a refill on birth control pills — all in a safe, <br /> anonymous and familiar environment. <br /> Outcomes <br /> The desired outcomes of PPCNC education programs are to delay initiation of sexual <br /> activity, improve contraceptive use for sexually active young people, and prevent pregnancy <br /> and sexually transmitted infections among teens and emerging adults. While we don't have <br /> the resources to track this over time for participants, we do evaluate behaviors, attitudes and <br /> knowledge that are directly linked to these outcomes. For the purposes of this grant, we will <br /> track the following key indicator of sex education programs that work: <br /> • 75% of education participants attend programs that "implement with fidelity" one of <br /> the program(s) identified by Kirby as effective or a program developed using the key <br /> characteristics of effective programs identified by Kirby. (Quarterly review of fidelity <br /> logs to ensure no risky or unacceptable adaptations as identified by O'Conner et al.) <br /> For the purposes of this grant, we will track the following key indicators of digital work: <br /> • Through the national call center, implement real-time Chat services to provide basic <br /> reproductive health information and make appointments (Implement by June 30, <br /> 2012) <br /> • Minimum 100 PPCNC medical forms are downloaded each month (up from 50) <br /> • 1,000 Facebook fans actively engage in our work (volunteer, donate, take action) (up <br /> from 450) <br />
