Today’s Date: March 28, 2024
Requested Amount: 10,000.00

Project Title: Goals, Planning, Success for youth in juvenile detention facilities in Ohio
Project Description:

OCECD provides two different three-day youth self-determination trainings to youth with disabilities across Ohio to help them become empowered and learn to advocate for themselves. Many youth receiving special education are not given the opportunity/do not feel comfortable to speak up about what they want for themselves, for their life, or for their future. This training helps youth learn that, under the law, it is their right to participate, speak up, and articulate for themselves and provides the practice and tools to learn how to so in an engaging way.

Through hard work and collaboration, OCECD now has the opportunity to provide one of these trainings, titled Goals, Planning, Success to youth in our juvenile detention facilities in Ohio. These trainings occur through the juvenile facility high schools, which means only youth ages 14-21 can participate, and participants are identified as receiving special education. Youth placed in these facilities have different sentences, different backgrounds, come from across Ohio, including from urban, rural and suburban homes, and have a variety of experiences. They all have one thing in common, however: they deserve the opportunity to speak up for what they want for themselves and their future. This training is a chance for them to see their future in a different light, and can lead to different outcomes for them.

This opportunity, however, means that we need seek funding to cover how the trainings must be provided- for example, some materials we use are not allowed in facilities so we need to fabricate these items in a different way so youth have access to them. This opportunity increases the number of staff needed to travel across state, stay overnight for three days, and provide the trainings. Funding would assist with the implementation of this opportunity.

Total Project Budget: 47,020.50

Project Title: Providing Hope and Healing to Traumatized Foster Youth
Project Description:

HomeSafe operates four residential group care campuses across Palm Beach County, offering a safe, structured, healing environment for 80-100 children, aged 6-17, annually who have endured traumatizing abuse, neglect, and abandonment. HomeSafe is one of just five specialized therapeutic group care agencies in the state, and we operate 44 out of the 98 available beds to serve the most vulnerable children within the foster care system. The kids in our care have been deprived of typical childhood experiences, leading to feelings of hopelessness and sadness. Additionally, their untreated trauma has manifested in severe psychological, behavioral, and emotional challenges, impacting social functioning.

Recognizing the profound impact of their traumatic experiences on their emotional well-being, HomeSafe emphasizes the importance of providing recreational, social, and educational opportunities to address the emotional and developmental deficits these children face. These experiences create typical childhood experiences for our kids, motivate positive behavior and academic focus, and empower our kids to apply learned skills in real-world settings. Most importantly, they allow our children to see a different view of life, changing their impressions about how they fit in to society and what the possibilities are for them.

HomeSafe creates an atmosphere that promotes hope, healing, and recovery, allowing our children to rediscover the joys, freedoms, and opportunities to simply be carefree and enjoy their youth. Whether it’s organizing group outings to museums, movies, or cultural events, or bringing the excitement to our campuses with bounce houses and arts and crafts activities, we create an environment where stress is alleviated, social bonds are formed with staff and peers, and a sense of community thrives. By breaking down barriers to healing and fostering a nurturing atmosphere of hope and resilience, we empower our kids to embrace happy, healthy, and fulfilling lives.

Project Title: Watoto Arts Enrichment
Project Description:

Watoto helps youth develop self-confidence, transferrable skills, and the freedom to dream without constraint. This program combines humanities lessons from an Afro-centric lens with arts workshops and live performance.

Through the year participants meet twice a week to learn about relevant cultural themes and interpret these themes through creative expression. Each program session includes a humanities lesson (ex. Symbols of Kwanzaa, a local figure of Hispanic Heritage, African fables, etc) which is followed by an arts workshop where participants express what they have learned (ex Creative movement to represent Kwanzaa symbols, preparing a skit to tell the story of a local figure, creating African masks to represent fable characters, etc.). As a result of the workshops, youth create original music, dance, theater and poetry pieces interpreting cultural themes, which are presented in a series of public events (typically 4 per program year) celebrating our heritage with diverse audiences.

QANC’s theory of change is to instill the belief in our young people, particularly our children of color, that they are worthy and can succeed through helping them dream, giving them exposure to resources, setting goals, creating a plan and taking their first steps with support of a broader community. We typically serve 40 individuals ages 5-20 in Greater New Britain; Most youth come from low to moderate income, minority households. Many struggle academically and our program success boosts their self-esteem, enhancing their progress in school. The humanities themes and art workshop offerings change each year in line with participant interests, talents, and their personal heritage. The aim is to teach participants about their own heritage, but also the heritage of others, promoting diversity and inclusive communities. We encourage children from all backgrounds to participate–after all, all of humanity can trace it roots back to Africa. We are stronger together!

Project Title: Standing up Rainbow’s Young Adult Shelter
Project Description:

For 42 years Rainbow Place Shelter has been an emergency hypothermia shelter for women in Montgomery County, MD. As a well-respected part of the Continuum of Care, our mission is to provide women emergency overnight shelter during the hypothermia season and assist them as they transition to a better quality of life. We work together with our staff and community volunteers to ensure that our guests know they are valued and important human beings of worth. We provide our guests with a warm, safe place to sleep; 3 meals a day; access to showers; laundry facilities; case management; and referrals to local social services, treatment, and housing programs.

Our organization is in an exciting period of transition, as we are expanding Rainbow’s mission to include young adults, 18-24 years of age, welcoming LGBTQ+, heterosexual and cisgender communities with year-round, 24-hour emergency shelter and the supports needed to transition out of homelessness. This facility will be in addition to our seasonal hypothermia shelter for women.

Our young adult shelter will be located in upper Montgomery County, MD. It will be the first of its kind in our county, not only the first to focus on young adults, a population that often avoids “traditional” shelters out of fear or shame, but the first to openly welcome and be sensitive to the needs of populations often overlooked, ignored, or outwardly shunned. Through partnerships with expert service providers, our shelter will offer services that include workforce development, trauma-informed mental health therapy, GED support, financial literacy, and legal counsel.

Our young adult shelter has broad support from local and state officials, as well as many places of faith and other organizations in Montgomery County. It is something that has been needed for many years, but has been absent from our county’s safety net…until now.

Project Title: TRANSIT ARTS – The Glow Project
Project Description:

Central Community House’s TRANSIT ARTS (TA) program engages young people through mentorship, professional development, creative skill development, and artistic workshops. Programming culminates in employment skills, violence prevention, and improved social-emotional development – a holistic model needed to help youth succeed, graduate from high school, and be prepared for adulthood.

Stemming from systemic racism, generational poverty, and disinvestment in African-American communities, there exists a heartbreaking truth – black and white youth may live in the same community, yet experience it entirely differently. Moreover, black girls face unique challenges. According to a study by Georgetown University, adults view Black girls as less innocent and more adult-like than their white peers, especially in the age range of 5–14. Termed “adultification” this implicit bias results in Black girls being held to higher standards, contributes to harsher punishments in school, and means taking on adult-like responsibilities at a young age. Black girls are also hypersexualized, and experience increased violence, body-image issues, anxiety, depression, and low self-esteem as a result.

In response to these stressors, TA developed The Glow Project. Designed and led by Black women, The Glow Project serves cohorts of 14 adolescent girls at a time through 6-week sessions of intensive, 3-hour workshops. Through deep exploration of music, visual arts, writing, and movement activities, and in partnership with a Licensed Professional Counselor, participants envision how they see themselves, how they believe others see them, and how they want to be seen in the future. Small cohorts allow for a safe space to receive mentorship, stress-relief, and mental health resources unique to each individual, paving the way for participants to develop leadership skills, set goals, and expand social capital through engagement with community leaders.

Leveraged with other funding, a grant would empower support programming for 3 cohorts of girls (42 girls total) over one year.

Total Project Budget: 33,500

Other Funding
Sources For The Project (Committed & Potential): Other sources of funding for The Glow Project include: The Women’s Fund of Central Ohio – $10,000 (Committed); Ohio Alliance for Arts Education -$8,000 (Committed); Ohio Arts Council – $7,000 (Committed)

Project Duration: 1 year
Geographical Area Served: CCH’s primary service includes the Near East and South Side of Columbus, Ohio, including zip codes 43203, 43205, and 43206. Within this area: 60% of residents are African-American; over 31.9% live in poverty; and the median household income was $33,366. The Near East has been identified by The Ohio State University’s Kirwan Institute for the Study of Race and Ethnicity as having one of the largest concentrations of youth vulnerability, "where investments have the potential to impact the greatest number of our most vulnerable youth.”
Age Group To Be Served: TRANSIT ARTS’ target population includes primarily low-income middle and high school youth (and some young adults) ages 11-21 with risk factors causing greater challenges to high school graduation.

Project Title: Lucas James Williams Memorial Youth Fund Day Camps & Community Building
Project Description:

The Lucas James Williams Memorial Youth Fund (LJWMYF) offers free outdoor programs and activities for youth, families, and community. Based in Bakersfield, Vermont, the organization was formed in 1999 by the Williams family in honor of their son and brother, Lucas. Lucas was a 19-year-old Bakersfield resident and U.S. Marine who died during Operation Desert Fox in Kuwait in 1998. Lucas had a passion for the outdoors and a vision for a place for youth to gather and have fun. His family and countless volunteers have worked diligently to make his vision a reality. Today, LJWMYF impacts over 2,000 young people and their families annually in our small, rural community, providing education, community-building, and active fun in safe, structured and flexible outdoor environments. A wide variety of activities elicit the passions of youth, provide recreational opportunities, and teach life lessons that go beyond what schools can achieve. LJWMYF offers summer day camps, hunter safety courses, volleyball leagues, pond stocking (with the fish, and education provided by the Vermont Dept. of Fish & Wildlife), fishing derbies, campfire dialogues, holiday celebrations, volunteer opportunities, and more. All services are provided utilizing volunteers, fostering deep community connections, keeping overhead costs low, and ensuring that resources directly impact participants.

A $5,000 grant from the Charles and Joan Hermanowski Family Foundation would support LJWMF’s summer day camp programming, and continued community building activities for youth in 2025. Day camps are scheduled throughout the summer in partnership with 6 different local schools, and provide structured and interactive and hands-on activities under our pavilion and across our grounds. Grant funds will be used to provide meals, games, exercise, and community-building activities at LJWMF facilities for over 400 participants, at a cost to the Charles and Joan Hermanowski Family Foundation of just $12.50 per youth served.

Total Project Budget: 10,450

Other Funding
Sources For The Project (Committed & Potential): A grant from the Charles & Joan Hermanowski Foundation would leverage donations and earned income for the Lucas James Williams Memorial Youth Fund. This includes: Community National Bank – $3,000 (Committed for 2024; An additional $3,000 Potential for 2025). Franklin Northeast Supervisory Union School District LEAPS After School & Summer Program – $350 per day camp for up to 7 camps = $2,450 (Committed)

Project Duration: 1-year from the time grant funds would be received. Most expenses would be incurred during the summer of 2025 (May-August) to support Day Camp Programming and Summer Community Building Activities.
Geographical Area Served: The Lucas James Memorial Youth Fund typically serves youth and their families across Franklin County, VT. Youth day camps are conducted in partnership with 6 local schools. However, participation in programming is not limited by geography, and most programs, services, and events are open to the community.
Age Group To Be Served: The Lucas James Memorial Youth Fund serves youth under the age of 18, and their families (parent/guardian supervision is usually required for children under 7 during programs/events). Typically, day camps serve school-age children in grades K-12. Public events and celebrations that are open to the community serve individuals of all ages.

Project Title: Child Abuse Prevention Outreach
Project Description:

CMC was formed in 2021 as a result of the community need for a Child Abuse Pediatrician who specializes in working with children who have suffered from child abuse. We currently serve Jackson, Graham, Haywood, Macon, and Swain counties. We are also open to requests from the Eastern Band of Cherokee, as well as other NC counties, states, and the FBI for courtesy services. CMC’s team of providers includes a Supervising Pediatrician, a Physician’s Assistant, a Nurse Practitioner, a Registered Nurse, and a part-time Medical Assistant. The two nurses on staff are also Sexual Assault Nurse Examiners. Our team has specialized training in child abuse and its members are listed on the roster of specialty providers with the Child Medical Evaluation Program at UNC-Chapel Hill.
We are seeking funds to begin educational Child Abuse Prevention Outreach in local schools, beginning with presentations at two area high schools in 2024. These services are intended for parents of children and/or teens. These educational outreach programs will include presentations and lessons on types of abuse, signs of abuse, trauma, prevention, and, most importantly, healing. The reason we plan to target teens is that studies have demonstrated that if young people, especially males, can learn about abuse and violence in their teenage years, they are less likely to harm their own children in the future. CMC plans to begin with a shaken baby presentation that targets teens, especially those who are pregnant or parenting.
