Entity Legal Name: Girl Power Rocks Inc. Address: 1600 NW 3rd Avenue, Suite 100, Miami, FL 33136 Phone Number: 305-756-5502 President's Name: Thema Campbell President's email address: Sincerely, Thema Campbell President/ CEO Girl Power Rocks, Inc. Formerly known as World Literacy Crusade of FL, Inc. 1600 NW 3rd Avenue, Suite 100, Miami, FL 33136 T: (305) 756-5502 F: (305) 757-7311 girlpowerrocks.org EXHIBIT "C" SEOPW CRA Grant APPLICATION Date of Application: October 28, 2024 Part II: 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 future generations. Girl Power is applying to SOW under two categories for FY 2024/25, Youth Development and Arts and Culture. Under the Youth Development we are requesting approximately $68,000.00 to continue Girl Power's Summer STEAM and Workforce Training Program. 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. 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. EXHIBIT "C" Summer STEAM Workforce Scope of Work Math and Science Trainings and Demonstrations. Entrepreneurship Education Career and Workforce Training 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.
