<br />Plan Ahead Youth Program (PAYP) provides services to a total of 70 low-income youth and parents in Santa Ana,
<br />including youth (1st— 12th grades) through activities that are organized around our four well integrated institutes. Also,
<br />PAYP provides parents of our youth with parenting skills and resources to better support and become more active in their
<br />children's education. Youth program activities take place after school, Tuesday through Friday, from 3:30-6:00 PM at The
<br />Cambodian Family Community Center, and on Wednesdays, from 1:00-3:30 PM at the Minnie Street Family Resource Center
<br />(MSFRC), our community partner and a "One Stop Shop" that provides services and support systems that build on family
<br />strengths. Prosocial and enrichment activities are sometimes held on Saturdays from 9:00 AM —3:00 PM. Youth attend our
<br />program year-round, an average of 6-8 hours per week. Staff and volunteers are bilingual in Cambodian (Khmer) or Spanish.
<br />Youth also have the opportunity to participate in our Summer Enrichment Program which generally takes place from June to
<br />August. All activities are led by a partnership of program staff and volunteers. Youth participate in activities that are
<br />organized around four institutes: Academic, Leadership, Career, and Health.
<br />Within the Academic Institute, we help youth develop a strong foundation in Science, Technology, Engineering,
<br />Mathematics (STEM) subjects, build on their reading and writing skills, support them in improving academic performance,
<br />graduate high school, and help plan their paths toward college. PAYP gives students access to our community center that
<br />provides students a safe space to do schoolwork. The center is equipped with computers, high-speed internet, printing, wi-fi,
<br />and a small library to support their learning. Staff work closely with volunteers to provide tutoring for daily homework
<br />assignments and projects. We provide workshops that enable our youth to study more effectively.We partner with university
<br />students to help students prepare for SAT classes, understand the college application process, learn the differences between
<br />public/private/trade schools, and learn ways to pay for school. Staff also provides counseling sessions to help students
<br />achieve their goals.
<br />Within the Leadership Institute, we help youth develop leadership and social skills, improve self-esteem and character
<br />strengths. We provide Life Skills classes that address "The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People", 6 Pillars of Character,
<br />communication skills, using technology responsibly, peer pressure, bullying, conflict resolution, generational differences,
<br />and cultural diversity. We have classes that foster students' interests in the areas of athletics, music, and arts and crafts.
<br />Students are also required to volunteer and lead service projects for the community which gives them a sense of self -
<br />empowerment.
<br />Within the Career Institute, we help youth make informed decisions about their futures by considering their college and
<br />career options. We offer career readiness by hosting career guest speakers, financial literacy class, career research projects,
<br />mock interviews, and resume writing workshops. We team up with college students to take youth on field trips to local
<br />colleges and universities to tour and motivate them about the benefits of higher education and its gateway to a wider range
<br />of career options.
