How will you measure the <br />success of that engagement or <br />educational effort? <br />Jubilee Healing Farm will measure the increased number of volunteers <br />on site during the creation of the cob classroom and food forest. This <br />can be compared to our current volunteer rates and the increase can <br />be noted and celebrated. Jubilee will also keep statistics on the <br />demographics of our volunteers who help complete the project, so we <br />are best able to assess the impact on various age and racial groups. <br />36. Please describe any other <br />aspect of your project that is <br />relevant to the amount, or <br />quality, or length of <br />engagement and/or education <br />that your project will produce. <br />This cob classroom and food forest will have a long-lasting impact on the <br />community of Orange County. While building the classroom will provide <br />benefits and education, the existence of the classroom will provide Jubilee a <br />space for educational programs for decades to come. The food forest will <br />engage and excite volunteers initially and will continue to provide a <br />sustainable food source for the future. A small investment in this project will <br />provide returns for the foreseeable future, not only for an organization like <br />Jubilee Healing Farm, but also for the larger Orange County Community. <br /> <br /> <br />Criterion 7 - Time to Complete <br />This criterion has a maximum score of 3 pts (out of a total of 26 pts). <br /> <br />37. How much time will your <br />project require to demonstrate <br />the positive impacts you <br />describe? <br />This project will immediately show positive impacts as the volunteers <br />who create it will automatically begin learning about the benefits of a <br />cob classroom and food forest on the climate. Upon completion, the <br />cob classroom will be ready for its permanent use of hosting programs. <br />The food forest will continue to develop and grow over the first five <br />years of its existence, but the lessons gained will begin to stack up <br />immediately. In addition, berries, herbs, flowers and tubers will be <br />immediately available after year one. <br /> <br />Submission Guidance <br /> <br />Applications are to be submitted as email attachments to Orange County Sustainability at <br />sustainability@orangecountync.gov.
