Please briefly describe the proposed program, including an explanation of how it aligns with the <br />Town of Chapel Hill and Carrboro’s Results Framework, and Orange County BOCC Goals and <br />Priorities, and the target population to benefit from the program. (250 words or less) <br />Based on the transformative power of storytelling, our Learning Across Generations (LAG) <br />program shares the rich local history of the historically-Black Northside, Pine Knolls and Tin <br />Top neighborhoods in Chapel Hill. Working with K-12 students primarily in Chapel Hill, <br />Carrboro, and Orange County, our workshops bring oral histories into classrooms and <br />beyond. Our workshop formats are dynamic and interactive, drawing upon a mix of <br />experiential multimedia, in person and virtual presentations, and hands-on activities. We <br />also offer a virtual curriculum available for free for elementary students and educators to <br />teach portions of local history in their classrooms. This year, LAG’s new Chapel Hill Summer <br />Freedom School program will provide a space for collaboration and education in local, civic <br />and social engagement with youth during the summer. All of our programs bring students <br />into conversation with members of our Community Mentor Team, a group of veterans of the <br />local Civil Rights Movement, organizers, and activists who are passionate about youth <br />empowerment and working to make change happen. <br /> <br />The LAG program aligns with the Towns’ Intermediate Result 1.2, in which children <br />demonstrate grade-level skills, as well as with Orange County BOCC Goal of “ensuring a <br />high quality of life and lifelong learning that champions diversity, education at all levels, <br />libraries, parks, recreation, and animal welfare.” <br /> <br /> <br />8.
