H. WHEREAS, the parties wish to enter into this Agreement to set forth the terms and conditions
relating to the use of this grant;
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises of the parties contained herein and other
good and valuable consideration, receipt, and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the CRA and Grantee
agree as follows:
1
1. RECITALS. The Recitals to this Agreement are true and correct and are incorporated herein by
referenced and made a part hereof.
2. GRANT. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein and Grantee's compliance with all of
its obligations hereunder, the CRA hereby agrees to make available to Grantee grant funds to be used for the
purpose and disbursed in the manner hereinafter provided.
3. USE OF GRANT. The Grant shall be used to underwrite costs associated with the Program
incurred during the Term of this Agreement, in accordance with the Program's approved scope of work and budget,
("Scope of Work and Budget") as described in Exhibit "B", attached hereto and incorporated herein.
4. TERM. The term of this Agreement shall commence on the Effective Date written above and shall
terminate on September 30, 2024, or when the grant funds of Seventy -Five Thousand Dollars and Zero Cents
($75,000.00), are expended, whichever occurs first. However, the following rights of the CRA shall survive the
expiration or early termination of this Agreement: to audit or inspect; to require reversion of assets; to enforce
representations, warranties, and certifications; to exercise entitlement to remedies, limitation of liability,
indemnification, and recovery of fees and costs.
5. DISBURSEMENT OF GRANT.
a. GENERALLY. Subject to the terms and conditions contained in this Agreement, the CRA
shall make available to Grantee up to Seventy -Five Thousand Dollars and Zero Cents ($75,000.00). In no event
shall payments to Grantee under this Agreement exceed Seventy -Five Thousand Dollars and Zero Cents
($75,000.00), Payments shall be made to Grantee or directly to vendors on behalf of Grantee, only after receipt and
approval of requests for disbursements in accordance with the approved Scope of Work and Budget.
b. REQUESTS FOR DISBURSEMENT OF GRANT FUNDS. All requests for the
disbursement of grant funds by Grantee shall be submitted in writing to the CRA by Grantee's authorized
representative prior to the termination of this Agreement. All such requests must be accompanied by supporting

accordance with the Program's approved Scope of Work and Budget, as reflected in Exhibit "C", for expenditures
incurred during the Term of this Agreement. For purposes of this Agreement, "supporting documentation" may
include invoices, receipts, photographs, and any other materials evidencing the expense incurred. Grantee agrees
that all invoices or receipts reflecting the expenses incurred in connection to the Program shall be in Grantee's
name, and not in the name of the CRA in light of Grantee's inability to bind the CRA to any legal and/or monetary
obligation whatsoever. The CRA reserves the right to request additional supporting documentation for any
expenditures, and the CRA reserves the right to deny any and all requests it deems to be outside of the approved

regarding expenses incurred, when requested by the CRA, shall serve as grounds for immediate termination of this
Agreement, and Grantee solely shall bear all costs associated with any expenditures not approved by the CRA.
c. CASH TRANSACTIONS PROHIBITED. The parties agree that no payment will be made
to the Grantee as a reimbursement for any Project -specific expenditure paid in cash. Grantee acknowledges that a

Grantee's vendors for services not performed or for goods, materials, or equipment which have not been delivered
to Grantee for use in connection with the Project.

and other requirements to Grantee in advance of requiring compliance with same. Include a Financial Literacy
course to assist with everyday life financial roadblocks. Acquiring financial literate skills will assist with economic
distress, improve the standard of living, and support financial stability. Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, the Grantee represents and warrants that it will comply, and the grant funds will be used in accordance
with all applicable federal, state and local codes, laws, rules, and regulations.
7. REMEDIES FOR NON-COMPLIANCE. If Grantee fails to perform any of its obligations or
covenants hereunder, or materially breaches any of the terms contained in this Agreement, the CRA shall have the
right to take one or more of the following actions:

connection with: (i) the performance or non-performance of the services, supplies, materials, and equipment
contemplated by this Agreement or the Program, whether directly or indirectly caused, in whole or in part, by any
act, omission, default, professional errors or omissions, or negligence (whether active or passive) of Grantee or its
employees, agents, or subcontractors (collectively referred to as "Grantee"), regardless of whether it is, or is alleged
to be, caused in whole or part (whether joint, concurrent or contributing) by any act, omission, default, breach, or
negligence (whether active or passive) of the CRA, unless such injuries or damages are ultimately proven to be the
result of grossly negligent or willful acts or omissions on the part of the CRA; or (ii) the failures of Grantee to

comply with any of the paragraphs provisions herein; or (iii) the failure of Grantee, to conform to statutes,

canceled, or materially changed during the performance of the Program under this Agreement without thirty (30)
calendar days prior written notice (or in accordance to policy provisions) to the CRA. Completed Certificates of
Insurance shall be filed with the CRA, to the extent practicable, prior to the performance of Services hereunder,
provided, however, that Grantee shall at any time upon request by CRA file duplicate copies of the policies of such
insurance with the CRA.
If, in the reasonable judgment of CRA, prevailing conditions warrant the provision by Grantee of additional
liability insurance coverage or coverage which is different in kind, CRA reserves the right to require the provision
by Grantee of an amount of coverage different from the amounts or kind previously required and shall afford
written notice of such change in requirements thirty (30) days prior to the date on which the requirements shall
take effect. Should Grantee fail or refuse to satisfy the requirement of changed coverage within thirty (30) days
following CRA's written notice, this Agreement shall be considered terminated on the date the required change in
policy coverage would otherwise take effect. Upon such termination, CRA shall pay Grantee expenses incurred for
the Program prior to the date of termination but shall not be liable to Grantee for any additional compensation, or
for any consequential or incidental damages.

FACT SHEET
WHO WE ARE:
Encouraging Dreamers Breaking Barriers, LLC, was established in 2017. We are a for profit organization
currently located at 1490 NW 3rd Avenue, Suite 106, Miami, Florida 33136. This organization is founded
on removing barriers encountered among youth and young adults between the ages 14-25 living in the City
of Miami. Our mission is to provide mentorship while uniting the diverse cultures in underprivileged
communities by exposing them to entrepreneurship opportunities while educating them in life skills training
and promoting successful ways for maturing from an adolescent to a young adult.
We offer participation in our paid on the job training followed by job opportunities as well as
entrepreneurial opportunities for residents between the ages of 14-25, living in underprivileged
communities within the City of Miami. Our most current on the job paid training and job placement
opportunities are offered through our EDBB All -Star Youth Escape Car Wash Detail - Second Chance
Initiative, launched in August of 2021, amid the pandemic. Our carwash initiative has been successful in
improving the quality of life for our participants by offering many of them a second chance in becoming
productive citizens and assuring job placement after completion of their job training. Our mobile carwash
pop -ups have also allowed our participants to provide services at many community events and businesses
within the City of Miami. Our program has two components, since we cater to youth and young adults. we
have both a Work Force Training Program and a Youth Program. Below are the details of both
programs:
WORK FORCE PROGRAM:
After completion/graduation of our work force program, we assist our graduates entering the workforce by
offering them job placement opportunities within the car wash industry. We are currently in the process of
equipping all of our car detailing vehicles which will allow us to dispatch multiple teams of 5-7 workers
to different locations and on multiple contracts. Our program also offers entrepreneurship opportunities
where we teach participants how to become business owners and provide them with the necessary trainings
and tools they need to succeed. We have also partnered with Career Source and other organizations, mentors
and professionals who assist our participants with entering the workforce upon completion of our program.
We host and participate in networking events, hiring events and community events in order to expose our
participants to potential workforce opportunities. Although, our hope is for our participants to continue
working with us in the car wash industry and expand our services, we do understand that for many of them
this is just a steppingstone and so, we provide them with the opportunity to fulfill their dreams and teach
them how to break through any barriers that may prevent them from doing so.
YOUTH PROGRAM:
Our Youth Program takes place during the spring and summer breaks. Our secondary school participants
and college participants are given the opportunity to be a part of our program for one (1) week during Miami
Dade County Public School Spring Break and four (4) weeks during the Miami Dade County Public School
Summer Break. During this time, participants receive professional and soft skill trainings, group and one-
on-one mentorship and car wash detailing trainings. At the end of the spring break session
participants receive a stipend ranging between $150 - $200 (depending on the number of hours worked).
Since the summer break program is more intense and longer, each participant is compensated $l 5 per hour
for their participation.
WHAT WE NEED:
We are pleased to submit this proposal for services to support our desire to build a relationship with the
City of Miami SEOPW CRA; and work in conjunction with the city achieving its redevelopment goals by
supporting a local standard car washing project. This project will enhance City of Miami residents by
providing jobs and a service within the local community, while improving the quality of life and promoting
entrepreneurship and technology innovations to its participants. in order to keep this effort ongoing, we are
seeking your monetary support in the amount of Seventy -Five Thousand Dollars ($75,000.00) to be used
to fund our car wash/mentorship initiative expenses. With your sponsorship we will be able to reach fifteen
to twenty young people living within the City of Miami SEOPW CRA area.
Our goal is to give the youth of today an opportunity to learn all the tools needed in becoming a successful
it., Qad n-pn,dc�efivc cittLcn. WL rtalILLe ►tat ail puutli cue suited for coiiege alter graduating
from high school. However, all youth can become productive citizens' by first earning and learning. With
your financial assistance this opportunity will continue to create jobs for our youth and give them a
responsibility geared towards earning an honest living. It will promote self-worth and reduce the chances
of our participants from engaging in unproductive activities. I truly believe initiatives such as this is a
necessity throughout our unprivileged neighborhoods/ communities which ultimately empower our youth
to become self-sufficient productive citizens. The requested funds will be allocated as follows:
PROPOSED BUDGET OF SEOPW CRA FUNDS:
The Seventy -Five Thousand Dollars ($75,000.00) to be acquired from SEOPW will be used towards our
car wash and mentorship initiative expenses. With your sponsorship we will be able to reach ten (l 0) youth

EDBB Annual Signatures Events
Escape Summer Camp
Program
Growing up in an underprivileged community,
I understand the barriers many of our youth are
facing today. Our underserved communities are infested with gun violence, crime, and poverty.
Determined to make a positive difference and help change the narrative among our youth hence I
created, EDBB Alistars Detailing Services Summer Car Wash Camp. We hired twenty-five (25)
youth from different communities within City of Miami and Miami -Dade County to earn and learn
during a four -week program. The youth then, received on the job training from the EDBB carwash
team. They participated in several trainings during these weeks such as New Employee
Orientation, Money Management Tools, Positive Thinking, and Customer Service Skills. They
also received empowerment from community leaders and City of Miami Police staff. The youth
were taken on fieldtrips allowing them to be exposed to City of Miami and Miami -Dade
Commission Meetings, The Miami Dolphins Football
Training Camp, Community Pop -Up Events, and much
more. After completion of our four -week summer break
program each participate received a $15 per hour stipend
for the hours worked as well as volunteer hours. This
program was a success and a game changer for the youth
in our community. Our true mission was realized as these
youth were taught to always dream the impossible and
believe God will show them that all things are possible.
My Experience with The EDBB Alistars has been nothing
short of amazing. I have gained so much knowledge, met
important people and learned great car wash skills.
Working at the car wash and being able to work flexible
hours has been helpful for me while ! am in college.

2022 -- EDBB Youth
Escape Spring Break
EDBB Allstars Detailing Services
spring break youth escape experience
was very inspiring and rewarding. We
hired twenty-five (25) youth from different communities within City of Miami and Miami -Dade
County to earn and learn for one week. At the beginning of the week the youth participated in
money management, positive thinking, and customer service trainings. Our true mission was
realized as these youth were taught to always dream the impossible and believe God will show you
that all things are possible. They learned the meaning of breaking barriers that they may face in
life and how not to use negative language like "but I can't" or "those white folks won't give me a
chance", because these are all self-inflicted barriers we create. The youth then, received on the job
training from the EDBB carwash team. This gave me an opportunity to observe my team in action.
It was great to see the compassion and leadership skills shown towards these youth by my team.
Once trained on all car detailing positions the youth were divided into groups and assigned specific
jobs like, tire specialist, interior specialist, window specialist and vacuum specialist. Each youth
that completed the spring break training was compensated a $150 stipend and was taken out for a
celebration dinner at Golden Corral. This experience was beneficial for both the participants and
the EDBB team. It benefited all participants who successfully completed the spring break training
because they will be given the opportunity to participant in our 2022 Summer Carwash Youth
Escape Initiative, and it benefited the team because it better prepared them to operate the summer
program.

PRIOR YEAR PROJECT SUCCESS STORIES:
SUCCESS STORY NO. 1
Our first success story was finding my father Randy Hudnell. One day God asked me "how can I save the
world and forget about my own. With that though in mind I found my father who was homeless and on drugs
at the time. It was a challenge looking past him being an absent parent but with God's permission I was able
to forgive my father for his shortfall and offer him a life changing opportunity through employment with
Encouraging Dreamer's Breaking Barriers Allstars Detailing Service. Mr. Hudnell, now has a stable job as a
car tech specialist/record keeper, he has his own place and is no longer homeless. Our next mission is to
assist him with his dream of opening his own business of selling nutritious and delicious organic and natural
food and drinks. - ljamyn Gray, CEO of Encouraging Dreamers Breaking Barriers, LLC
SUCCESS STORY NO. 2
The second success story is helping groom and mentor Antiwone Johnson, who has been a part of
Encouraging Dreamer's Breaking Barriers Allstars Detailing Service from its start. His dream is to someday
own his own security company. As a result of shadowing the owner of EDBB, Antiwone has learned the tools
needed to operate and manage his own business. He is now the proud owner of A3 Security Services, LLC,
which is another service provided under the EDBB umbrella.
- ljamyn Gray, CEO of Encouraging Dreamers Breaking Barriers, LLC
SUCCESS STORY NO. 3
Our third success story was the hiring of a young man name Robert Whittle. He was featured on a
documentary - Behind the Bars in Miami, where he was in Bootcamp after serving 51/2 years in prison. He
was released in June of 2021, and since his release from prison he has been employed by Encouraging
Dreamer's Breaking Barriers Allstars Detailing Service. As a result he now has a stable source of income,
has opened a bank account and has transformed his mind into being a model citizen and employee.
- ljamyn Gray, CEO of Encouraging Dreamers Breaking Barriers, LLC
SUCCESS STORY NO. 4
The fourth success story is the hiring of over 20 youth from different communities and creating a safe haven
through our carwash youth escape initiative. These youth are learning the true meaning of "One Brother
One Hood". Each day they realize that this carwash is a life changing opportunity where we wash away our
past while waxing into a brighter future
