Exhibit A
<br />SCOPE OF WORK
<br />The Cambodian Family — Plan Ahead Youth Program (July 111, 2022 — June 30th, 2023)
<br />Detailed description of youth program/services to be provided
<br />Plan Ahead Youth Program (PAYP) will provide academic tutoring and extra -curricular
<br />educational services to a total of 90 low-income and underserved youth and parents in Santa Ana
<br />per year, including 60 youth (1 st —12th grades) through activities that are organized around our
<br />four well integrated institutes aligned with local school district educational trends, and 30 parents
<br />of our youth with parenting skills, economic empowerment workshops, and resources to better
<br />support and become more active in their children's education. Due to the on -going pandemic,
<br />PAYP activities will take place virtually after school, Tuesday through Friday, from 3:30-6:00
<br />PM and/or in -person (when it is safe to do so) at The Cambodian Family Community Center, and
<br />on Wednesdays, from 1:00-3:30 PM at the Minnie Street Family Resource Center (MSFRC), our
<br />community partner and a "One Stop Shop" that provides services and support systems that build
<br />on family strengths. Prosocial and enrichment activities are sometimes held on Saturdays from
<br />9:00 AM — 3:00 PM. Youth attend our program year-round, an average of 6-8 hours per week.
<br />Staff and volunteers are bilingual in Khmer (Cambodian), Vietnamese, or Spanish. Youth can
<br />also participate in our Summer Enrichment Program which generally takes place from June to
<br />August. All activities will be led by a partnership of program staff and volunteers. Youth will
<br />participate in activities that are organized around four institutes: Academic, Leadership, Career,
<br />and Health. Parents will participate in workshops and activities that help them develop better
<br />skills to provide for, nurture, and communicate with their children and be involved with their
<br />children's education.
<br />Within the Academic Institute, we will help youth develop a strong foundation in
<br />Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics (STEM) subjects, build on their reading and
<br />writing skills, support them in improving overall academic performance, graduate high school,
<br />help plan their paths toward college, and persist toward becoming lifelong learners. To achieve
<br />this, youth counselors will provide after -school tutoring by integrating a variety of positive social
<br />emotional learning (SEL) and brain -boosting techniques that simultaneously enhance their
<br />individual learning relationships with youth and support youth's engagement with their academic
<br />learning experiences. PAYP will give students access to our virtual services and our community
<br />center (when appropriate) that provides students a safe space to learn and do schoolwork. The
<br />center is equipped with personal protective equipment, computers, high-speed internet, printing,
<br />Wi-Fi, an interactive SMART board, school and art supplies, WiFi Hotspots, Chromebooks and
<br />tablets for individual check-out, and a small library to support their learning. Our organization
<br />has secured 20 devices with pre-installed/pre-paid internet for students to borrow during our
<br />regular program hours. Staff will continue to work closely with volunteers to provide tutoring for
<br />daily homework assignments and projects. We will provide workshops that enable our youth to
<br />study more effectively and become more independent in their ability to learn, solve problems,
<br />and acquire skills. We will continue to partner with local university students to help students
<br />prepare for SAT classes, understand the college application process, learn the differences
<br />between public/private/trade schools, and learn ways to pay for school. Staff will also provide
<br />counseling sessions to help students achieve their goals.
<br />Within the Leadership Institute, we will help youth develop leadership and social
<br />skills, improve self-esteem, and character strengths, and nurture their passion for community
<br />engagement. We will provide Life Skills classes that address "The 7 Habits of Highly Effective
<br />20
