pR4DDt..,C��"'g <br />« A Workforce Innovation and Opportunities Act {W IOA) <br />Santa Ana Workforce Development Board: Youth Service Provider <br />11. Civic Engagement or Leadership Development (2 pages max) <br />A. Can your organization offer a civic engagement opportunity orleadership development <br />opportunity for WIOA youth, if so, please describe? <br />Through the proposed program, Workforce Development Program participants will have <br />multiple opportunities to build their civic engagement and leadership skills. The first is <br />attendance at the California Workforce Association (CWA) Conference. Program staff and <br />participants will both participate in the annual conference as part of this grant. <br />In addition to the CWA Conference, Project Kinship has hosted an Annual Public Safety <br />and Re-entry Conference for private and public service providers since 2014. Participants <br />include: leaders from SAUSD; Orange County (OC) Sheriffs Department; OC Probation <br />Department; OC Health Care Agency; and the City of Santa Ana. During the conference, <br />participants gain knowledge about best practices and how to help prevent the re-entry <br />population from slipping through the gaps in the systems. The conference also offers a forum <br />for identifying opportunities for partnership and alignment between entities that serve the <br />formally incarcerated throughout the county and Southern California Region. Workshop themes <br />include how to incorporate restorative justice -focused and trauma -informed practices into <br />programming, as well as coordinating service delivery for hard to reach participants. Workforce <br />Development Program participants will be invited to participate in the Annual Conference as. <br />attendees, panelists, and support workers to build their civic engagement and leadership skills. <br />In addition to the annual conference, Project Kinship offers multiple trainings during the <br />year on Gang Intervention, Health and Wellness, Trauma -Informed Care, and Restorative <br />Justice. Through these trainings, participants with 'lived experience" are trained on how to <br />advocate for system change and share their testimonies to educate others on trauma and <br />transformation. Finally, Project Kinship convenes the Capacity Building Network of Re-entry <br />Provider Coalition, which engages the Orange County Chief of Probation, Presiding Juvenile <br />Justice Judge, Chiefs of Police of several cities, and community leaders in strategic planning to <br />address issues of community violence and challenges to re-entry. Participants are often invited <br />to speak during site visits or meetings, which builds their public speaking and leadership skills. <br />Project Kinship also hosts weekly Restorative Circles to support those who are in <br />conflict, to build rapport with participants, and to build a sense of community. These circles <br />create a safe space to allow participants, staff, and other stake holders to connect and establish <br />a sense of kinship that results in accountability, healing, and transformation. It is a culturally <br />sensitive approach that identifies core factors that lead to negative choices. Exploring these <br />factors through a trauma -informed lens, it helps to assess environmental, family, and negative <br />peer -related challenges that can be addressed by participants and supported by the group. <br />Workforce Development Program participants are encouraged to participate in the Restorative <br />Circles and even serve as mentors to those who are newer to Project Kinship services. <br />Finally, Project Kinship partners with the University of California, Irvine (UCI) Law School <br />and the University of Southern California (USC) School of Social Work to have staff and <br />participants present to students enrolled in the District Attorney, Public Defender, and Social <br />Work education programs. Through these partnerships, UCI students volunteer at the Project <br />Kinship Office to provide legal clinics with participants to work toward record expungement and <br />25B-150 <br />
