Project Title: Standing in Solidarity: Helping young people channel their potential into promise.
Project Description:

Standing in Solidarity provides a lifeline for systems-impacted young people ages 12-24 in Tulare and Kings Counties, disrupting the school-to-prison pipeline through mentorship, education, and advocacy. It particularly focuses on Black, Brown, Indigenous, and gender non-conforming youth, but is supportive of all young people involved with criminal, foster care, and welfare systems. It is a comprehensive youth development program offered in schools, juvenile halls, and other youth-serving settings. Through weekly sessions, participants engage in an evidence-informed leadership development curriculum that builds the knowledge and skills needed to get at the root causes of problems, to understand their lives and choices in the context of wider systems, and to become effective advocates for themselves and their communities.

Young people build healthy relationships with peers and positive adult mentors, explore social and restorative justice, and gain a sense of agency and possibility that sets them up for lifelong success. Our curriculum has been designed with a positive youth development lens, meaning that all of our sessions and our overall approach are grounded in the developmental assets framework and focus on building each young person’s inherent sense of positive identity, commitment to learning, social competencies, and positive values.

PHASE ONE: In this introductory phase, young people explore ideas around identity, equity, connection, community, justice, resistance, and activism. They begin to learn how to use their voice and power to affect positive change in their lives and communities. Cohorts of 10-12 youth participate in twelve weekly sessions.

PHASE TWO: In this more intensive phase, participants move beyond introductory topics and engage in deeper healing as well as embark on a participatory action research project. This second part of the program is a greater commitment meant to engage youth who are motivated to continue their learning and healing journeys. It is open to cohorts of 10-12 youth who have completed phase one.

Total Project Budget: $616,619.09

Project Title: Unscripted Core Program
Project Description:

The Unscripted Project’s mission is to equip students with the building blocks for personal and professional success through the power of an improv education. We hope to create a world in which every child leaves school prepared to embrace challenge, seize opportunity, and unlock their own potential. All programs are fully tuition-free for students and schools.

The Unscripted Core Program employs the improv mindset and toolkit as vehicles for socioemotional learning and college/career readiness. It is delivered via 10 in school, classroom-based workshops, and was created with the counsel of our partners at Magnet Theater in NYC, Philly Improv Theater, and The Second City Chicago. It is aligned with PA state standards, CASEL social-emotional learning standards and both the School District of Philadelphia (SDP) Arts and Creativity Framework and “Get Ready, Leave Ready” college and career-readiness standards. Each week is focused on a key concept (ex: understanding different perspectives, applying storytelling techniques to job interviews, supporting teammates) and consists of warm-ups, exercises, and debrief. Our lessons incorporate trauma-informed teaching practices, provide multiple access points for participation, support multiliteracies, and allow teachers to differentiate their approach for students with special needs, including individuals with autism and English Language Learners.

The Unscripted Project began with five classrooms of students in 2020. As of March 2024, more than 2,300 students and 108 classrooms have completed our free, ten-week Core Program.

Project Title: Student Scholarships
Project Description:

Green River College is an open-access, public institution situated on 180 acres of forest land in Auburn, WA, with additional campuses in downtown Auburn, Kent and Enumclaw The college serves a diverse student body and fosters an environment conducive to learning , growth and life enhancement for students.

The Green River College Foundation plays a crucial role in supporting the institution’s pursuit of educational excellence. Its vision revolves around ensuring adequate resources to uphold the college’s standards of educational quality.

One of the foundation’s key initiatives is to provide scholarships to students annually, averaging $2,000 per recipient, which can be utilized for tuition, fees, books, or program-related supplies. These scholarships are awarded based on both financial need and academic merit.

For scholarships provided by the Hermanowski Family Foundation, the focus would be to award two, $2,000 scholarships to students in the demographic of age 17 – 21.

Nearly half of the students who applied for foundation scholarships last year were between the ages of 17-21, and nearly half of those applicants were not awarded due to limited funds.

These scholarships play a vital role in supporting students’ educational endeavors, often serving as a lifeline for those struggling to meet the costs of attendance. Beyond financial assistance, scholarships instill a sense of belief and validation in recipients, providing tangible benefits for their resumes and college transfer applications.

Scholarships are not just a project but an ongoing way to assist students in realizing their educational dreams.

Thank you for your consideration.

Total Project Budget: The 24-25 FY Scholarship Budget is still being formed, however last year we awarded approx 667,000 in scholarships

Project Title: Planting the Seeds
Project Description:

This project has three primary goals; awareness, connection, and enrollment. Part of our mission is to create and hold space in high-quality constructivist early childhood schools for students and families who would otherwise not consider enrollment. Our school, only in it’s sec0nd year in a rural, underserved area of the county, needs to market specifically to families in need, connect with them by phone and/or email to build trust, then enroll their students in our program whether they can pay tuition or not. We need more preschool capacity in the area. We also need to protect existing capacity for excellent, learner-driven schools as well. Montessori schools, constructivist schools, have the best chance to expand access to education and enhance the culture of the educational community at large as our students enter the public schools. Funds granted will result in a much greater awareness in the community and lower barriers to access by families struggling with poverty or near poverty level resources.

Project Title: Teaching k-12 students to create 3D models of their school to empower them to be part of the safety solution
Project Description:

Secured My School (SMS) is a pioneering initiative aimed at transforming how K-12 students contribute to the safety of their educational environments. By empowering them to create 3D models of their school buildings, SMS leverages sophisticated technology for a cause that resonates deeply within the heart of every community: keeping schools safe. This transformative project is set to expand thanks to a significant grant, aiming to broaden its educational horizons. Central to this expansion is the integration of the ESRI ARC GIS K-12 curriculum, a move that will immerse students in the world of geospatial technology through the hands-on experience of LiDAR scanning. This process produces a detailed, secure, cloud-based 3D model of their school, into which pivotal information for first responders is meticulously integrated, providing them with invaluable insights for training purposes and emergency responses.

The comprehensive scope of SMS does not end with enhancing school safety; it also focuses on imparting crucial life skills to students. Through their engagement with project management principles and geospatial technology applications, students are not merely participants but active contributors to a safer learning environment. This hands-on approach fosters a deep understanding of the intricate balance between technology and its practical implications for community safety. In orchestrating this endeavor, SMS enriches the students’ educational journey with critical thinking, technical skills, and a profound sense of civic responsibility. By bridging the gap between technology, education, and community welfare, Secured My School stands as a testament to the potential of empowering young minds to make tangible contributions to their world, ensuring a legacy of safety, awareness, and innovation for generations to come.
