Project Title: J.E Storey Performing Arts for Youth Program
Project Description:

J.E Storey Performing Arts for Youth is a cutting-edge program geared to youth seeking to unlock their dreams, desires, and potential. Year-round after-school and Summer programs include academics infused with performing arts, life skills, financial literacy, mentorship, and entrepreneurship. Wrap-around services are provided after school and on some weekends; grades Kindergarten to 8th).
Mentors also visit youth in school to monitor progress and meet with parents and students to provide accountability in reaching goals. Supportive services currently include transport from neighboring schools and nutritional snacks to help participants focus on skill-building and program participation. With funding from this grant opportunity, Sunrise Empowerment Center (SEC) plans to increase our capacity to serve more at-risk youth to include intensive case management for families as well.
Mentoring Sessions-As a strategy to address ACEs, SCE intends to connect youth to caring adults in the form of Mentors and introduce activities such as Group Mentoring to help reduce risky behavior and reduce contact with law enforcement, courts, jails, and prisons. Mentoring Coaches will facilitate sessions using the trauma-informed approach to help participants identify and address barriers to success and the appropriate interventions (SAMSHA’S Concept of Trauma and Guidance for a Trauma-Informed Approach, 2014).
The Mentor and youth will review established goals and the mentor will provide support to further reduce risks and increase the chances of goal achievement. Sessions will be conducted in a variety of places with an emphasis on meeting participants where they are. The concept of meeting participants where they are, similar to patient-centered engagement, not only focuses on creating safe environments for open conversation but will also help to increase the quality-of-service provision to program participants (World Health Organization: Patient Engagement- Technical Series on Safer Primary Care, 2016).

Project Title: Community Empowerment — Youth Leadership Development
Project Description:

THR Global Institute has developed the Community Improvement Project program that encourages youth and young adults to create community improvement projects that can effect positive change. Youth and young adults participating in the program, have collaborated on community improvement projects designed to address one or more of the common challenges faced by young people in the Bay Area, the U.S. and even in other countries.

As part of its community empowerment effort, Global Institute issues calls for the design of community improvement projects. Each community improvement project must potentially benefit a underserved community in the Bay Area, and other communities.. Applicants are encouraged to collaborate with someone in designing their project. At a minimum, each applicant must explain how their project might benefit a local underserved community in the Bay Area and an underserved community in another region. These calls for proposals specifically target youth living in underserved communities. THR Global Institute selects the projects that show the most promise and then provides seed money to help get the projects up and running. THR Global Institute provides technical assistance and skills building workshops to help bring the projects to life.

One example of a community improvement project supported by Global Institute is a project in which youth assisted with the construction of permanent bathrooms for a nursery school, replacing highly unsanitary portable bathrooms the children had been using.

In another example, youth proposed, and Global Institute supported, a computer literacy program for youth living in a marginalized community.

The goal of the project is to transform the lives of youth and young adults by providing them cultural exchange experiences and the tools needed to be the change they want to see in their communities.
