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