Project Title: STEAM Engine OST Program
Project Description:

We are writing to express our interest in partnering with your foundation, whose focus on all aspects of a child’s life up to age 21 aligns perfectly with our mission at New Life UBC Church: to nurture and empower future generations through education and the arts.

Many young people in our community, particularly middle and high school students and post-secondary youth, lack access to quality STEM and arts programs, which can limit their future opportunities. This is where our STEAM Engine OST (Out of School Time) Program comes in.

Our innovative program will provide these young people with the skills, knowledge, and experiences they need to succeed in college and careers. Through hands-on activities in science, technology, engineering, arts & math, and partnerships with community organizations, high-education institutions, and trade schools, we will spark their interest in STEM fields, cultivate creativity and analytical skills, and offer valuable internships and workshops.

We are already partnered with Drexel University, the Franklin Institute, Community College of Philadelphia and the Organization of Black Aerospace Professionals and are actively seeking collaborations with additional organizations to ensure a comprehensive and enriching program. We are confident that our STEAM Engine OST Program will have a lasting impact on the lives of young people in our community, empowering them to reach their full potential.

We would be grateful for the opportunity to discuss our program in more detail and explore how your support can help us make this vision a reality. Thank you for your time and consideration.

Project Title: Dooda Play-Building Youth Leaders
Project Description:

Doo_da Activities premier program, Doo_da Play, brings children, youth and families together every week for play, for collaborative community gatherings, and to lead service projects.The Dooda Staff Teamt is dedicated to ensuring that youth are able to recognize and to attain their potential, and that the greater community has the opportunity to benefit from this amazing, sometimes untapped talent.
Doo_Da Activities started by developing and implementing Doo_Da Play bi-weekly events, encouraging kids of all ages, along with their families, to play together, while at the same time fostering youth leadership and development. We quickly discovered the untapped leadership skills in youth, and with support from Dooda staff, activities are now determined by youth, planned by youth, and executed by youth. Under the guidance of a participant-led President, Junior President, and Teen Lead, activities are created that provide kids and youth ages 4-18 with play opportunities, as well as leadership projects, and family activities. All activities, which have brought together from 10-200 children, youth, and community members, include cultural events, service projects, workshops, and recreation and play. Along with regular structured and unstructured play time (basketball, four square, tag, and more), recent events include a Black History Celebration (led by kids, with children and youth presentations), Drive by Love Event-Valentines Card Making and delivery to seniors, a Volunteer Food Giveaway Project, Family Day, with hiking and playing, a Girl-Power event, showing off the many talents of our female participants, and more. Along with empowering kids to be leaders, our aim is to create a community of love, safety, and continual growth and development.
