DocuSign Envelope ID: 10F0B4DA-C8135-4AB3-9AFA-939AE0010B1S (HIBIT A PROVIDER'S OUTSIDE AGENCY APPLICATION • Encouraging career readiness through the exposure to skills and technology that students would otherwise not have been able to access. • Incorsoratin• the 'foals and values ex•ressed in the CHCCS E•uit Plan into our curriculum and teaching style. Teachers universally report these programs having a substantial impact on students, noting increased engagement and excitement in English and Social Studies classes, as well as the sense that these programs bring history to life for students, showing them that the Freedom Movement affected their homes, communities, and people they know. We believe these programs are essential to the curricula of CHCCS and OCSS. f) Who is your target population of individuals to benefit from this program and how will they be identified and connected with the program? Our initiatives reach a wide range of beneficiaries across the county, as our demographic statistics show. Our civil rights education workshops were created from over 200+ area oral histories, primarily with African-American residents, and engage 30+ elder residents in their implementation each year The workshops reach full grade levels of every partner school involved and have already reached five school groups this year, three of which are new school partnerships, as well as several unique organizations like Boomerang, Blue Ribbon, and the UNC Hospital School. Linked with our goal of school expansion, we intend to deepen our partnership with the Orange County School System to reach an increased number of students outside of town designations. Our audio immersion program is available to high school youth throughout Orange County. This year, we began seeing value in rebranding our Fusion Youth Radio afterschool program to an in- school pilot program. We hope to offer this intensive workshop series to three ongoing partners throughout the County in the coming year, as well as a summer audio immersion camp that will target youth who have completed these workshop series. While the repertoire of skills gained and programmatic goals remain the same, the ability to build and retain community and to practice introspection and self-actualization increases. Our audio immersive programming has a track record of reaching across barriers, not just in the group's composition but also in the selection of show themes. Past audio-documentary pieces have focused on topics such as immigration legislation, HB2 and LGBT rights, race in local schools, feminism, mental and physical health, and democratic participation. g) Describe the credentials of the program manager and other key staff.
