Please briefly describe the proposed program, including an explanation of how it aligns with the Town of Chapel Hill and Carrboro’s Results Framework, and Orange County BOCC Goals and Priorities, and the target population to benefit from the program. (250 words or less) TBW’s youth development programs provide challenging out-of-school activities that prevent learning loss, develop youth leadership, and help build social-emotional learning competencies through three learning pathways: Cycling, Untold History, and Environmental Education. We serve BIPOC youth ages 11-18; 85% of our youth are from low-income households. In 2022/2023, TBW will provide 50 hours of afterschool and weekend programming that includes workshops, lectures, book studies, guest speakers, training rides, mindfulness practices and team-building activities. All of these activities have the goal of reducing learning loss, increasing social interactions, and helping youth grow in their resilience to challenges. These programs culminate in three-day, history-based weekend excursions. Youth who demonstrate readiness are invited to a 2-week immersive cross-country summer tour with stops at historical and educational sites. In 2020, we added a mountain biking program. In all TBW programs, students learn experientially about environmental awareness and history that is relevant to their communities. TBW’s theory of change is that after completing our program, youth will have an increased understanding of the world around them, increased social emotional awareness, and increased power to overcome challenges and achieve personal and collective goals. This increases the likelihood of improved academic outcomes and capacity to work with others to co-create a more healthy, just and equitable world. Our education-based program aligns well with the Towns’ Strategic Objective #1 (Children improve their education outcomes), as well as the OC BOCC Goals of promoting the well- being of all county residents and preserving and protecting the natural environment. 8.
