Members first join our digital organizing environment, The Hive, which <br />delivers public information- from public safety alerts to resources and opportunities- to users in their <br />language of proficiency through textable audio recordings, translated by Community Interpreters into <br />8+ languages. Next, families’ access in-person support from Community Interpreters and Bridge <br />Builder volunteers through neighborhood-based pods, every week, across 5 different neighborhood <br />sites. Kids participate in academic enrichment that focuses on STEM education and social-emotional <br />learning curriculum, while adults can access support ranging from digital literacy skill building to <br />finding or maintaining housing, to applying for a job. Finally, Members can request trained Bridge <br />Builder volunteers or Community Interpreters for additional support as needed, either acting as <br />“cultural consultants” or emergency contacts, to personal interpretation and accompaniment to job <br />interviews, medical appointments, or parent-teacher conferences. Neighborhood Support Circles <br />flexibly combines relationship-based support with language access to foster self-agency for refugee <br />and migrant families. <br />11.Target Population:Please complete the table below with numbers (not percentages) of <br />individuals served and projected to be served. <br />Program Target Population Demographics <br />Projected <br />2021-2022 <br />Actual <br />2021-2022 Projected <br />2022-2023 <br />Project <br />ed <br />2023-2 <br />024 <br />Gender <br />Men 400 406 527 525 <br />Women 380 497 643 675 <br />Nonbinary/Genderqueer <br />Self-Describe <br />Total 780 903 1170 1,200 <br />Race and Ethnicity <br />Black or African-American 155 102 125 70 <br />American Indian or Alaska Native <br />Asian Indian 625 511 570 580 <br />White <br />Native Hawaiian or Other Pacific <br />Islander <br />Program information Page 12 of 21 <br />DocuSign Envelope ID: C7E9E35D-4294-4C57-9D16-FD34B7245AA8
