They are <br /> reviewed and managed accordingly. <br /> h) Describe the specific period over which the activities will be carried out and include an <br /> implementation timeline. <br /> The Chapel Hill program is an after-school and summer camp program, and is currently being <br /> carried out at the Northside School from 2:30- 6pm, Monday through Friday during the school <br /> year. A summer program was provided in 2016 and will continue in summer of 2017. <br /> The rate of educational programs is increasing, and will continue to increase throughout 2017. <br /> The new, larger, management team will oversee new program implementation, ensuring that <br /> children in Orange County are getting the most out of their education throughout the school year <br /> and during the summer. <br /> i) Why is funding this program a good investment for the community? How does funding this <br /> program add value to the community? (250 words OR LESS) <br /> The Boys & Girls Club helps at-risk children in Orange County reach their potential through <br /> academic and life-skills programming. These kids do better in school, behave well at home, and <br /> are able to plan for their future. Each child has a ripple effect within the community as they beomce <br /> leaders among their peers and in their families. Teach them to read, and they will teach their <br /> siblings and cousins to read. Teach them about healthy lifestyles and they will encourage their <br /> parents/guardians to buy healthier food and stop smoking. Each individual child the Boys & Girls <br /> Club helps will contribute to a more positive Orange County.A Florida study shows that BGCs even <br /> help enhance the tax base since these youth grow up to be gainfully employed, tax-paying citizens <br /> who do not need juvenile justice services in their youth. <br /> The $10 per school year membership fee for each child means no child will be turned away. Now <br /> ALL children our community will have a safe and nurturing place to be after school, without regard <br /> to income. <br /> a) Describe what would happen if requested funding is not awarded at all or if a reduced <br /> allocation is recommended. <br /> If funding is not awarded, we will find additional sources for support. In the Durham Club's 77 <br /> years, the doors have never been closed. This will be the case for Orange County as we do <br /> whatever we can to continue to provide the excellent programming we offer. The program, both in <br /> Chapel Hill and Durham, is currently supported by ongoing individual donors, corporate donations, <br /> and grants. <br /> However, the funds that come through the Outside Agency Grant will enable our programs to be <br /> stronger and more fulfilling and we hope for increased support in future as we extend our excellent <br /> record of accomplishment. <br /> b) Include any other pertinent information. <br /> Funding from this grant would go specifically to the program in Chapel Hill. The organizational <br /> budget lists both Durham and Orange County programs—many are combined, but funding remains <br /> separate when necessary. <br /> PROGRAM INFORMATIONI/26/2017 14:54:11 a1/p1 Page 16 o f 22 <br />
