Project Title: BGCV Music Studio
Project Description:

The Boys & Girls Club of Vista’s (BGCV) mission is to empower every club member, through safe and impactful experiences, to graduate high school with a plan for college or career, contribute to community, and live a healthy life. Annually we serve 800 Club members ages 5-18. We offer academic and workforce development programs, music education, health programs, leadership development, and sports and recreation. We are requesting $5,000 to support our music program for youth.
The BGCV Music Studio offers guitar, piano, drum and vocal lessons five days a week, and provides young people the opportunity to learn to play an instrument in a safe, positive setting. Using the BGCA MusicMakers, BGCV engages Club members in group activities, private lessons, and practice and “jam” sessions. Participants learn the fundamentals of how to use instruments while learning how to play together and express themselves. Youth then work collaboratively to create set lists and practice for various community performances, building self confidence in their abilities as they progress to learn more challenging songs and work together with their classmates in ensembles. Activities accommodate different abilities and age groups within the Club’s membership.
Plans for expansion in the coming year include the completion of a state-of-the-art instrument & vocal isolation booth, mixing room, and recording area for student use, where members can learn how to set up and record in the studio. Through lessons and practice activities, youth can hypothesize the various differences in equipment positioning, cables, effects, etc. In addition, we would like to be able to offer students the opportunity to take field trips to see symphony concerts, opera performances, and other musical experiences around San Diego County. Finally, as ever we plan to continue to expand the program to offer services to more youth in the community.

Project Title: Student League of Darien
Project Description:

Student League of Darien (SLOD) is an all-male league run by upperclassmen to mentor freshman boys in a fun, relaxing, judgment-free environment. By watching sports, playing cards, eating pizza, and getting to know one another, SLOD offers opportunities for youths to forge social and emotional connections with peers. These relationships can help younger boys tremendously with the transition to the often-stressful high school years. For the upperclassman participants, their involvement in the program can also be a meaningful addition to applications for colleges and future jobs.

This program seeks to partner upper-class students with a group of freshmen to ease the transition to high school. These connections continue at school where SLOD leaders pay close attention to freshman students who are eating alone or having a hard time navigating new routines. These boys are there to be a friend to the 9th graders; they don’t try to fix their problems. They ask questions and help the freshman students come up with their own answers. Frequently they model how to problem-solve by describing how they overcame a similar problem in their life. They also invite the peers they work with to come up with ideas and solutions to supportively help their peers explore the possibilities.

The Student League of Darien is open to 9th-12th grade boys and meets two Mondays per month, 8-9:30pm at the Depot Youth Center. The Depot provides a comfortable and social environment for this program. The bi-weekly meetings at the Depot give the mentors an opportunity to see how things progress.

Project Title: Washington Jesuit Academy Graduate Support Program
Project Description:

Founded in 2002, the Washington Jesuit Academy (WJA) is a tuition-free independent middle school for young men from under-resourced communities in the Washington, DC metropolitan area. WJA’s mission is to provide a high-quality, comprehensive education that advances students’ intellectual, emotional, physical, and spiritual growth. Through an extended-day, year-round program, WJA offers a safe and consistent learning environment that combines rigorous academics with holistic support, including three nutritious meals a day; academic enrichment, extracurricular clubs, and athletics; socioemotional support from counselors/social workers; and ongoing support for alumni. WJA welcomes students regardless of race, ethnicity, or religion, but their families must demonstrate financial need, meeting approximately the same criteria as the National School Lunch Program.

WJA’s overarching goal is to prepare underserved young men for the opportunities and challenges of high school, college, and career so they can break the cycle of poverty. Through a dedicated Graduate Support program, WJA provides academic and social support to over 325 alumni from 17 cohorts. From visiting alumni at their high schools each month to providing free ACT and SAT test-prep to accompanying alumni and their families through the college admissions and financial aid process, the Graduate Support team (which includes one WJA alumnus) empowers students to fullfill their potential. The program’s philosophy is to “educate, empower, encourage, and engage – without enabling” so each young man develops a strong sense of self-determination.

With this combined approach of creating a strong academic foundation during the pivotal middle school years and providing ongoing support to alumni, WJA shares the Hermanowski Family Foundation’s commitment to improving and transforming the lives of children and young adults. Compared to 65% of males in DC, 99% of WJA alumni graduate from high school. Currently, 90% of WJA alumni are enrolled in college or trade school or contributing to the workforce.

Total Project Budget: $456,197

Other Funding
Sources For The Project (Committed & Potential): During WJA’s current fiscal year (July 1, 2021 – June 30, 2022), WJA has received a $5,000 grant for the Graduate Support program from St. Luke Catholic Church in McLean, VA. For potential funding, WJA has submitted the following requests for the Graduate Support program during the current fiscal year: Herb Block Foundation $20,000; Holy Trinity Catholic Church Washington, DC $20,000; Raskob Foundation $25,000; and University Club of Washington DC Foundation $5,000. WJA expects to allocate $278,997 of its unrestricted funds raised to the Graduate Support program this fiscal year.

Project Duration: The Graduate Support program has been a critical, ongoing component of WJA’s model since WJA’s inaugural class graduated in 2005. As part of WJA’s current strategic plan, WJA will increase total enrollment to 150 students by 2026, necessitating an increase in Graduate Support services. Capacity building efforts for the Graduate Support program began in 2021 with the addition of a fifth full-time program staff member.
Geographical Area Served: WJA serves young men from under-resourced communities in the Washington, DC metropolitan area. WJA’s students primarily live in Wards 5, 6, 7, and 8 of the District of Columbia and in neighboring Prince George’s County, MD, some of the area’s most under-resourced and historically marginalized communities. Among those areas, the alarming child poverty rates range from 13% to 43% (Annie E. Casey Foundation).
Age Group To Be Served: WJA serves 115 students in grades four through eight (ages 9 to 14) as well as over 300 alumni (ages 14 and above) from 17 cohorts.

Project Title: Student Suicide Prevention Foundation
Project Description:

With Hope Foundation is dedicated to suicide prevention and mental health awareness, through our educational programs in middle and high schools throughout Southern California. We provide our Student Suicide Prevention Presentation to youth ages 12-18. It is our mission to educate, equip and empower individuals to recognize the warning signs and risk factors of suicide and provide them with resources for critical, life-saving intervention.
Research has shown that suicide can often be prevented through education, awareness, early intervention, treatment, and good postvention care (CDC). Our school-based Suicide Prevention Programs are designed to educate individuals in recognizing the symptoms of depression, self-injurious behavior, and the warning signs of suicide.
Breaking down the stigma and open communication are key factors in helping to prevent suicide. Our presentations are designed to be a conversation starter between students, their peers, parents and school counselors. We encourage all parents to preview the program at a parent presentation, hosted prior to the student presentations. Through family discussions, at-risk students, whose symptoms might otherwise have gone unnoticed, are identified and are connected to help. Our crisis intervention support services and resources focus on connecting at-risk students to an individual therapist who can help them develop healthy coping strategies to reduce symptoms of depression, anxiety and thoughts of suicide.

At the close of a presentation, individuals are given a small evaluation sheet to fill out. The data collected from these evaluations revealed the following:
• 95% of attendees who, prior to the presentation didn’t know the signs of depression and suicide risk, now understand these signs.
• 96% of attendees now know where to find resources for help.
• 94.5% of attendees feel confident in taking steps to help themselves or a friend who is exhibiting the warning signs of suicide.

Project Title: Let’s Find Out
Project Description:

The voice of our youth:  “We go to rural schools in coastal Maine, surrounded by shoreline on beautiful islands and the nearby mainland. Our forefathers’ used hoes and rollers to harvest and sell the soft-shell clam, Mya arenaria. Changes in our climate threaten those options. BUT protecting our coastline and its creatures –  becoming biologists, scientists, engineers, technicians, entrepreneurs or licensed aquaculturists, while serving as caretakers and stewards of the coast are options for us.”

Downeast Institute (DEI) is able to provide that chance for the disadvantaged youth of rural, coastal Maine. Currently studying the growth and survival of marine species to promote the sustainability of the marine food resources, DEI’s education and science team works closely with the youth from local schools to promote an understanding of fishery ecology, the fundamentals of scientific research, the role research plays in fisheries management, and the development of aquaculture methods suitable to our marine habitat in a hands-on STEM program that teaches youth (their teachers, too) from pre-K through Grade 16.

One first grader said it best, “We are scientists, you know!”

Project Title: Mighty Writers Whole Child Approach to Academic Success
Project Description:

Mighty Writers teaches kids, ages three to 17, to think and write with clarity so they can achieve success at school, work, and life. At MW, we believe that literacy is a kryptonite to poverty. The ability to express oneself. To think clearly. To write with clarity. Nothing, we believe, beats poverty senseless with as much efficiency and finality as intensive reading and writing experiences.

Here is what we know:
-When kids think clearly, and write with clarity, their self-esteem soars. When that happens, they begin to see a bright future.
-In order to think and write with clarity, the whole child must be supported. Therefore, all the needs of the children must be met in order to thrive- social, emotional, physical, mental and academic.
-Children CANNOT think clearly or write with clarity when they are hungry.
-Mighty Writers is an anti-violence initiative by its very nature. We teach kids to write. That means we teach kids to think. We talk with the kids– not at them– about things that are important to them. We provide safe sanctuary.

All of our programs are designed to confront educational inequity in the marginalized communities we serve. We firmly focus on amplifying and empowering our students’ voices while providing high-quality, community-oriented and culturally relevant writing programs and mentorships. Through our out-of-school time programs, MW develops unique and enriching communities, champions the stories of diverse youth writers, and drives each student to reach their maximum potential.

Through all our programs, we utilize mindfulness to teach kids to be emotionally resilient, cultivate their inner-strength, and foster their overall sense of well-being. These outcomes are indispensable skills students can use throughout their lives to regulate their emotional response to stressful situations and sustain better focus and concentration at school, work, and in their relationships.
