DocuSign Envelope ID: E546BA93-2CAA-4121-B91A-3F2107563B4D EXHIBIT A PROVIDER'S OUTSIDE AGENCY APPLICATION The stakes are high for society as a whole, but especially for disadvantaged youth. If they do not graduate from high school, they are less likely to be prepared to raise a family, become civically engaged, or be able to compete in the workforce. Locally, outcomes within the Chapel Hill-Carrboro City Schools System can still be predicted by race, with white students' outcomes in every area always above those of black and brown students. For example, in 2013-2014, only 20-30% of African American children meet standard achievement requirements for their grade level. Recent data reveal that 85% of black male students in 8th grade were unable to pass the end-of-grade reading test. The Board of Orange County Commissioners in its 2016 annual retreat committed to social justice values as well as enhancing education for at-risk children; MBK Orange County represents a focused, coordinated initiative that is organized to identify and support opportunity youth—in particular boys and young men of color—who can be successful when given the opportunity to pursue the best lives possible. • Who is your target population of individuals to benefit from this program and how will they be identified and connected with the program? MBK Orange County will work with diverse youth—in particular boys and young men of color—that need access the knowledge, skills, and resources needed to be engaged, productive 21st century citizens. Youth will be identified by community organizations, Chapel Hill Carrboro-City Schools, and Orange County Schools, all of which are represented on the MBK Advisory Board and both school systems currently work with Movement of Youth. • Describe the credentials of the program manager and other key staff.
