Commitment to Community Benefit and/or Youth Programs: <br />Over the last few months, the WCW Team has met with members of <br />Santa Ana City Council, United States Congressman Lou Correa, members <br />of the Santa Ana Community, and engaged in independent research to <br />determine what "Community Benefit and/or Youth Programs" will have <br />the greatest positive impact on the social welfare of Santa Ana. We <br />take this commitment seriously, as demonstrated by the WCW Team's <br />experience, and want to ensure that resources are channeled to the right <br />projects. <br />(a) The Santa Ana Unified Debate Team: <br />In our meeting with Congressman Correa, he suggested that the <br />Santa Ana Unified Debate Team was an extraordinary "Youth <br />Program" and one in need sponsors. 2017 was a particularly <br />strong one for the Team. They competed in their first national <br />tournament and placed in quarter finals, semi-finals, and had their <br />first ever district finalist. The WCW Team is committed to help <br />this outstanding Team build on this momentum by providing the <br />resources to build an even stronger program. <br />(b) Santa Ana Unidos: <br />While the Santa Ana Unified Debate Team has excelled, many <br />Santa Ana youth are still being left behind as California continues <br />to struggle with gang violence and high youth incarceration rates. <br />Since 1980, California has built 22 prisons but just one UC <br />Campus. Spending on prisons and jails has increased 3 times <br />faster than spending on K-12 Schools in California, according to <br />the U.S. Department of Education. <br />21 <br />
