DocuSign Envelope ID: 8FFCF3D9- 3AF5 -4C83- 9829- AC9D4975107C EXHIBIT A: PROVIDER'S OUTSIDE AGENCY APPLICATION Our Outreach Education Program includes activities for K -12 students, families, and adults. We aim to touch all stages of life with our informal educational programs. The Orange County Historical Museum Outreach Education Program fulfils a county need of providing high - quality, inclusive educational experiences to children and adults in Orange County at no cost to participants. Heritage Education: The museum's Heritage Education Programs provide a free, positive, interactive learning experience focused on Orange County history to school children. Since the OCHM's first field trip in 1957, the museum has invested significantly in its Heritage Education Program, both at the museum and to Orange County Public Schools. The Foundation has reached over 15,000 students since 2008 in schools from all parts of Orange County. The Museum's Heritage Education programs are created for easy travel to the schools and provide children with educational enrichment otherwise denied by budget and time restraints. Using feedback from participants, the Museum has, and will continue to develop a diverse array of programs to help fill the needs of teachers, parents, and children. Traveling Trunk Program: This program is designed to offer an interactive experience enhanced with reproduction artifacts and informed by a detailed lesson plan, which supports NC's essential standards for students. A modest rental fee for the program insures it is accessible for a broad range of community users. Art at the Museum and Park: This program is aimed at children from at -risk and low- income households. Activities are geared toward children ages 5 -18 years. Held at the OCHM and Fairview Park in Hillsborough, this program allows children the opportunity to learn about the history of Orange County through hands -on art activities. Most recently, acclaimed artist Renzo Ortega has given bilingual, Spanish - English instruction in basic painting and drawing techniques and worked with students to create artwork inspired by folk art and objects from the museum's collection. History Fun Day: For the past 11 years, the OCHM, the Burwell School, and the Alliance for Historic Hillsborough have collaborated on History Fun Day in Hillsborough. The museum gives tours and leads hands -on activities with participating K -12 student groups. Tours, based on the history of Hillsborough and Orange County, are written and delivered to support and enrich Orange County K- 12 students' social studies learning. Education Special Events: The OCHM supports the Alliance for Historic Hillsborough's Living History Days with programs and activities designed for families with children. These include Revolutionary War Living History Day, Hillsborough Day, and Hillsborough Fourth of July events. We offer workshops and demonstrations designed to highlight Hillsborough's rich history. For example, in the past, we have presented a weaving workshop, highlighting the history of domestic textile production with an in- gallery demonstration weaving demonstration by a local artisan and a hands -on family weaving workshop. Lecture Series (New): A survey completed by the OCHM in 2017 found that community members were eager for adult lectures at the museum. Therefore, in 2018, the OCHM will host a lecture series at that is free and open to the public. This series supports the goal of the Orange County BOCC to foster life -long learning opportunities for residents of Orange County by bringing diverse voices to the area to discuss the history of Orange County and America. The museum has also applied to the North Carolina Humanities Council for assistance in bringing speakers to the museum. e) Describe the community need or problem to be addressed in relation to the Chapel Hill Human Services Needs Assessment, Orange County BOCC Goals and Priorities, Town of Chapel Hill Council Goals, Carrboro Board Priorities, or other community priorities (i.e. PROGRAM INFORMATION 1/23/2018 12:14:22 PM I71 a g e 2 4 cs o 40
