The interactive components are: STEAM workshops, College & Career Readiness Training, free <br />books, special outings, nutrition seminars, and caring mentors plus wraparound services for the families. <br />America On Track's Brighter Futures for Children of Prisoners Program specifically addresses the needs of <br />the most overlooked population — children of prisoners. Recent statistics show that 65.2% of children <br />who lost a parent to incarceration in their childhood are convicted of a crime by the time they are 25 <br />years old. However, with our program and in spite of having parents, older brothers, cousins and uncles <br />in and out of the system, the wonderful children (ages 7-16) that we work with are eager to have new <br />opportunities and our positive outcomes reflect this. In Orange County alone, there are too many <br />children of prisoners who are being overlooked in terms of targeted services and they mostly live in <br />impoverished conditions where they are more likely to be exposed to gangs, drugs and other illegal <br />activities. <br />AOT helps break the cycle of poverty and incarceration because Brighter Futures is a holistic and <br />comprehensive program that provides children and families with education and resources to build their <br />confidence and stay motivated for the future. <br />Because children of prisoners are at a higher risk of educational failure, early substance use and abuse, <br />and coming into contact with the juvenile justice system, America On Track has implemented a unique <br />and free 5-component program to guide them on a successful path to a brighter future: <br />* STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts & Math) activities <br />* Inspirational College & Career Readiness Training <br />* Qualified, trained mentors serving as positive role models <br />* Free special events designed to provide joy in their lives <br />* Mental Health Counseling <br />EXHIBIT A <br />
