How does funding this <br />program add value to the community? (250 words OR LESS) <br /> <br />Our programs help participants to increase self-esteem and delay sexual activity. This is especially <br />important because teens who begin having sex at an earlier age are less likely to use contraception <br />and more likely to become pregnant and to become a parent. Lifetime achievement for teen parents <br />is significantly less than for their peers who are able to pursue their education or career training. <br />They are more likely to live in poverty and require assistance from their communities. Investing in <br />our teens today provides a solid knowledge base that will assist them as they navigate their teen <br />years and will positively impact their future success. <br />j)Describe what would happen if requested funding is not awarded at all or if a reduced <br />allocation is recommended. <br />PPSAT is committed to maintaining these education programs in Orange County. In addition to <br />County and Town support, PPSAT receives funding for its educational programs from a number of <br />private foundations. All of these foundations have a long history of supporting our programs and we <br />anticipate their renewed support for FY19. If requested funding is not awarded, we will need to <br />identify alternative sources of funding raised for our operating expenses. That said, we deeply <br />value our partnership with Orange County and the towns of Chapel Hill and Carrboro. <br />k)What percentage of your target population is low-moderate income? 50% <br />l)What efforts do you make to seek feedback about your program from your target population <br />(e.g. survey, evaluations, etc.?) <br />Educators solicit feedback from program participants by administering satisfaction surveys at the <br />conclusion of each multi-session and single-session program. In addition, at the conclusion of each <br />session, participants are asked to write either a question or comment on a piece of paper and put it <br />in a question box. Participants that do not have a question or comment are still be asked to submit a <br />blank piece of paper, thereby preserving anonymity. Multi-session participants also have access to <br />an Education Participant Complaint Form in case they have issues with the educator they wish to <br />report directly to the supervisor. During the intake process the coordinators provide participants with <br />their supervisor’s email and phone number, and participants are told they can report any concerns <br />they have directly to her. <br />m)Include any other pertinent information. <br />Exhibit A: Provider's Outside Agency Application <br />DocuSign Envelope ID: ED368FB6-6FB1-45A7-A8CA-9AB3EAEB624E
