DocuSign Envelope ID:A6B9A80E-25C6-439A-A77D-6C8B04CDDFE2 XHIBIT A <br /> PROVIDER'S OUTSIDE AGENCY APPLICATION <br /> d) Agency's History with Providing These Services: <br /> We have been providing afterschool programs in some Durham Public Schools, <br /> Chapel Hill Carrboro Community schools, and a Hillsborough school for the past 5 <br /> years, and a 27-week homeschool program at our Durham location for ages 5 to 17 <br /> for 4 years. Our camp program has grown each year and has been in operation for <br /> 12 years. We offer summer and intersession/track out camps in Durham, Orange and <br /> Wake counties. Each year requests for scholarships have increased. Our <br /> conservation program has been doing school programs, outreach events, and citizen <br /> science projects for 12 years, and the hotline has been in operation for 8 years. We <br /> have an average of 4 interns, 20 counselors-in-training, and 72 volunteers throughout <br /> the year. In 2016 we awarded 134 combined full and partial scholarships for all our <br /> educational programs. We have been awarding Environmental Leadership awards for <br /> the past 3 years. <br /> e) Other Pertinent Agency Information (Ex. Has the agency experienced any major changes <br /> in the past year? Is there a new Executive Director?Are there new initiatives?) <br /> We have received a request from Carrboro Elementary school to bring our <br /> afterschool program back.. The teachers have implemented several of the activities <br /> we taught them during 2014-15 and feel comfortable leading but would like additional <br /> support and activities for their entire afterschool program. <br /> For the past several years, we have received grants from Durham County that <br /> provided $7000 allowing us to grant 27 full scholarships. Durham is no longer <br /> offering their non-profit grant program. We will now have to participate in an RFP <br /> process and it is less likely that we will fit into their new format. <br /> Two of the buildings we currently use for storage and classroom space at our location <br /> in Durham need to be torn down due to safety and structural reasons. Consequently, <br /> we need to secure alternative classroom, office, and storage space. This was not part <br /> of our current budget so we need to reallocate funds. <br /> f) Schedule of Positions (For Entire Agency) <br /> • Full Time Equivalent (FTE) staff will be noted as 1.00; half-time as .50; quarter time <br /> as .25, etc. <br /> • Calculate a Full Time Equivalent for all recorded volunteer hours using the following: <br /> Total Volunteer Hours = Volunteer FTE <br /> 2,080 <br /> # of FTE - Full-Time Paid Positions: 6.00 <br /> # of FTE - Paid Part-Time Positions: 4.12 <br /> 1/12/2017 2:56:42 PM II I:' 7 lr 29 <br />
