Hannon Clerk of the Board Part 11: Project Narrative - Provide a SEOPW CRA Statement of Work (SOW) Document: Below are the nine parts required for the statement of work. 1: Write the introduction: Explain what work will be accomplished by your program and who is involved. This forms the baseline for the entire project/grant. Girl Power's mission is to empower girls and their families to succeed in order to restore, protect and preserve the family. We take the needs of at -promise girls seriously by providing programs and activities in redevelopment areas that create healthy, smart, strong and active leaders, empowered to get more out of life. Our programs encourage at -promise girls to build confidence, competence and pride. Girls build positive behavior beyond trauma and neglect, receiving academic and life coaching, group, trauma informed therapy, workforce soft skills, mentoring and social -emotional support. Girls develop life skills that help them become empowered leaders in their communities which will be passed on to fixture generations. Girl Power is applying to SOW under two categories for FY 2023/24, Youth Development and Arts and Culture. Under the Youth Development we are requesting approximately $ to continue Girl Power's Summer STEAM and Workforce Training Program. Under Arts and Culture, we are proposing a Modeling and Acting Bootcamp culminating in a "Overtown Rips the Runway" during the 2022 Soul Basel weekend December 8th through 10'1i, in partnership with Ethnicity Models. Step 2: identify the Project Purpose: Establish a purpose statement and answer the basic questions of what are the goals, deliverables, and objectives. The goal of Girl Power's seven -week STEAM and Workforce Training Program is to provide an exciting hands-on program designed specifically to help at -promise girls ages 11 to 17 in Redevelopment areas learn soft work -force skills and serve as a valuable resource for recruiting more girls into engineering and robotics at the middle school level training them to be leaders in science, technology, engineering, art, and math. The under -representation of at -promise girls in STEAM is deeply rooted in unequal gender norms that tell girls they are not cut out for subjects that require problem solving and an inquisitive mind. The goal of SSWTP is to prepare girls for the workforce of the future and offer them a year-round experience that provides opportunities to learn, achieve and excel in science, technology, engineering, arts, and math. As COVID-19 caused school and summer program closures limiting students from accessing learning opportunities, at- promise girls were left even further behind. Girl Power's SSWTP cultivates learning skills that are applicable throughout life such as, problem solving, technology techniques and science -based solutions which are critical to the advancement of at -promise girls' overall success. The goal of the Arts and Culture program is to restore and promote meaningful art experiences in redevelopment areas and to provide a rewarding art experience to the girls we serve and the community at large. Art is essential to developing the minds and souls of young girls and especially in redeveloped areas like Overtown where art and culture can be a catalyst for change. Step 3: Identify the Scope of Work: Determine the process that will be used to complete the work including. The scope should include time, results, and general steps for accomplishment. Math and Science Trainings and Demonstrations. Entrepreneurship Education Career and Workforce Training Summer STEAM Workforce Scope of Work Conduct Science and Math Labs offering training and demonstrations three times per week for one hour for six weeks. Utilize evidence -based model/curriculum, trained teachers, and volunteers to conduct entrepreneurial training with a final outcome of designing a prototype or service demonstrations. In partnership with Miami -Dade College Wolfson Campus to conduct Workforce and Soft Skills training in the areas of Science, Social Justice, Business, Engineering and Technology. Arts and Culture Scope of Work The Art of Acting and Modeling Boot Camp Under the disguise of fun, at - promise girls learn the proper way to audition, build self- esteem, stage presence and confidence in front of the camara through an intense weekly bootcamp from October 1 `' through November 30`1'. Conduct pre and post math and science surveys to gain data on girls' knowledge and application in both fields. We expect that 85% will show an increase in math attdtor seientes#iils knowledge and/or applications. Conduct pre and post surveys, gain data on girls' knowledge and experience in the area of entrepreneurship. 85% will show improvements in their knowledge of project -based learning, problem solving. 85% of enrollees will receive a minimum of thirty-two hours of workforce training. Girls will earn a workforce stipend of $10 per hour x 8-hours per week. Art and Soul Rip the Runway (ASRP) Approximately 20 to 30 at - promise girls from the Overtown Redevelopment area will participate in a Runway Fashion and Art Show designed to promote and market the Overtown Community as a cultural and entertainment destination and improve the quality of life for participants and residents through a community initiative. Step 4: Identify Work Location: Choose all locations where the project members might and will have to perform all tasks in the Statement of Work.

Hannon Clerk of the Board Overtown Optimist Club 12023-2024 Proposal Submitted to SEOPW CRA May 15, 2023 INTRODUCTION The Overtown Optimist Club (OOC) enhances the quality of life for youth living in and attending schools within our community-, with the express mission of increasing student and family access to affordable, high quality youth development programming. To achieve its mission, the Club activates a year-round out -of -school program model which serves as a safe haven for the Overtown community. For decades, research has shown that the hours immediately after school when parents are unable to provide direct supervision of their young ones. It is these times when kids and youth are more prone to risky behaviors or to become victims of crime. Data released by Fight Crime: Invest in Kids, analyzed law enforcement agency and FBI crime data and was able to verify that the time between 2 pm — 6 pm during the school week are the peak time for juvenile crime. (Manheimer, 2019) in its 30-year history, the Overtown Optimist Club has successfully pivoted its hallmark, sports enthusiast programming, to include academic advisement, ensuring students are on track for on -time grade promotion and high school graduation. A key element within our programming is providing exposure opportunities which will provide students with skills to assist them in successfully navigating their post- secondary life experiences. Students join the Overtown Optimist Club, as early as four years of age, and continue through high school graduation and beyond. PROJECT PURPOSE For a number of years Overtown has grappled with high unemployment/underemployment rates, and as a result many families lack the resources to provide their young ones with a safe, supportive, inclusive learning and enrichment environment. The Overtown Optimist Club is so grateful to provide an environment that nurtures youth between the ages of 4 — 14, as well as providing health and wellness enrichment to build healthy habits that support long-term healthy outcomes. The Overtown Optimist Club embraces and encourages inclusion in all things — access, quality and opportunity. Our philosophy believes that children of all abilities have a right to equal access to and meaningful participation in education, employment, character education, and social emotional development. SCOPE OF WORK The Overtown Optimist Club embraces and encourages inclusion in all things — access, quality and opportunity, this is the hallmark of our work.
