Project results and Impact
How many girls/women have been served by the project during this project year?
in 2019, we had 119 girls (out of 253 students) participate in our child care programs. That was 47% of our participants. We had at least 38 single mothers utilize our programs, and many more of our mothers needed this program so that they could work to provide for their families. On top of that, we employ many young women. Some of our staff are mothers, while others are working to put themselves through college.
Goal of the Project
Did you meet your program goals for the grant period?
If yes, how do you know? Please describe any program evaluation you use:
If no, please describe current barriers and how you are working to overcome them:
As always, this is a complicated question. Our goal was to serve 220 youth and their families. We exceeded that goal by 16%. We also wanted to provide low cost child care to everyone who needed it in our community. We were able to serve a record number of youth this year, but we also had a record number of families we were unable to serve due to ratios/space. We have kept our program cost low, and continue to provide financial assistance to everyone who qualifies. This past year, a record low number of participants requested financial assistance. I anticipate we will experience record highs this year. We have served thousands of healthy meals and snacks, provided academic assistance, helped develop social/emotional skills, given students positive roll models to interact with and much more. Over all, I would say we have met our goals. We are serving as many families as our programs will allow, and working on ways to increase our reach.
Do you have a story of how your program positively changed participant's situation, behavior, or knowledge?
If so, please share it:
Sustainability
Will this project continue?
If so, how will it be funded?
If not, why not?
HOST and Camp both exceeded expectations last year. I believe we have built a solid foundation that will help sustain these programs for years to come. While it would not be easy, we will continue to provide much needed financial assistance to our families, even if we do no receive grants earmarked as such.
