Workforce Innovation and Opportunities Act(WIOA) <br />"n 'ar.cmmry <br />Santa Ana Workforce Development Board: Youth Service Provider <br />2. Proposed Program (1 page max) <br />A. Provide an overview of the program"s main objectives. <br />The proposed program will serve as a natural continuation of Project Kinship's <br />workforce development and education programs, including Restorative Practices; job training <br />and vocational support services; and case management services offered to transitional -aged <br />youth with histories of gang and/or juvenile court involvement. The main objectives of -the <br />Workforce Development Program are:1) career planning, work readiness skill building, training, <br />and certifications; 2) job development, intensive case management, and peer mentoring; 31 <br />education enrollment and retention; 4) civic opportunities and leadership development; and 5) <br />incentives, training stipends, sliding scale wage programs, and other supportive services. Each <br />of the aforementioned services will ensure in -school and out -of -school transitional -aged youth <br />(16-24 years old) who live in Santa Ana have the opportunity to pursue their educational and <br />career goals. Twenty participants will be served annually by activities in all 14 WIOA Elements. <br />The proposed program will utilize two key staff to provide the outlined services. They <br />are a (1.0 FTE) Case Manager and a (.25 FTE) Job Developer. Although the proposed program <br />will have its own assigned personnel and intended outcomes, the team will be integrated with <br />all other Project Kinship workforce development and education programs to leverage <br />knowledge, expertise, resources, relationships, and innovative problem -solving. <br />The proposed staff will be supported by a multidisciplinary team that includes: a <br />Workforce Program Manager, Director of Operations, Bookkeeper, Operations Coordinator, <br />and Controller, all of which will provide their services as in -kind to this grant budget. The <br />Workforce Program Manager will provide direct supervision for the Case Manager and Job <br />Developer and oversee budget expenditures, ordering, and asset tracking for support services. <br />The Director of Operations will oversee all ordering, invoicing, and contract development. The <br />Bookkeeper will produce all monthly invoices and the Operations Coordinator will conduct all <br />procurement and purchasing for the program. The Controller will oversee all fiscal policies and <br />processes; invoicing and accounting activities; and lead any financial audit activities. <br />Project Kinship is an award -winning agency in the areas of gang intervention, re-entry <br />services, restorative practices, and trauma -informed care, which is a strength -based approach <br />that emphasizes physical, psychological, and emotional safety that creates an environment <br />where participants rebuild a sense of control and empowerment. <br />During recruitment and hiring of staff, Project Kinship prioritizes candidates who are <br />highly qualified, culturally competent, and bilingual is preferred. Beyond sharing the same <br />language, it is important that Project Kinship prioritizes staff competent in the unique culture <br />needs of individuals who have been involved in gangs; have histories with generational <br />incarceration, homelessness, teen parenting, and other risk factors; and have experienced <br />mental health issues such as post -traumatic stress, depression, co-occurring substance <br />abuse/mental health disorders, anger management, and suicidal orhomicidal ideation; abuse; <br />and victimization. Project Kinship values "lived experience" when recruiting newstaff, meaning <br />those who have been impacted by these riskfactors, as well asthosewho are passionate about <br />working with the target population. Each of these values, principles, and standards of care will <br />be incorporated into the proposed Workforce Development Program. <br />25B-135 <br />
