A summer program was provided in 2016 and 2017, and will be continued in the summer of 2018. The rate of educational programs has been steadily increasing, and will continue to increase throughout 2018. The management team will oversee new program implementation, ensuring that children in Orange County are getting the most out of their education throughout the school year and during the summer. i) Why is funding this program a good investment for the community? How does funding this program add value to the community? (250 words OR LESS) The Boys & Girls Club helps at -risk children in Orange County reach their potential through academic and life - skills programming. These kids do better in school, behave well at home, and are able to plan for their future. Each child has a ripple effect within the community as they become leaders among their peers and in their families. Teach them to read, and they will teach their siblings and cousins to read. Teach them about healthy lifestyles and they will encourage their parents /guardians to buy healthier food and stop smoking. Each individual child the Boys & Girls Club helps will contribute to a more positive Orange County. A Florida study shows that BGCs even help enhance the tax base since these youth grow up to be gainfully employed, tax - paying citizens who do not need juvenile justice services in their youth. Because we do not charge a membership fee at our Northside and Smith programs, now ALL children in our community will have a safe and nurturing place to be after school, regardless of income. j) Describe what would happen if requested funding is not awarded at all or if a reduced allocation is recommended. If funding is not awarded, we will find additional sources for support. In the Durham Club's 78 years, the doors have never been closed. This will be the case for Orange County as we do whatever we can to continue to provide the excellent programming we offer. The program, both in Chapel Hill and Durham, is currently supported by ongoing individual donors, corporate donations, and grants. However, the funds that come through the Outside Agency Grant will enable our programs to be stronger and more fulfilling and we hope for increased support in future as we extend our excellent record of accomplishment. k) What percentage of your target population is low-moderate income? In Orange County, 14% of people live in poverty. Our target population is 100 % low to moderate income. 1) What efforts do you make to seek feedback about your program from your target population (e.g. survey, evaluations, etc. ?) Our Club evaluates the progress of our children and our programs by administering pre and post tests to our Club members. We measure the success of our programs by tracking attendance numbers and engagement with activities. We are always aiming to provide programming that is most beneficial and effective in educating our members.
