<br />Program and Funding Description
<br />The revised award amount of $63,580 for the joint application with UCI for the CDBG Teens Engaged in Learning
<br />and leadership (TELL) program will be sufficient to cover the cost of a .50 FTE Program Assistant/Coordinator, and
<br />.50 FfE Jr. Program Leader.
<br />Teens Engaged in Learning and leadership (TELL) will train 20 teens, ages 14-19 to conduct meaningful work in
<br />their community through memoring, internships, community service, and classroom training. Teens learn to set
<br />goals and they develop a goal plan of training, activities, and experiences that will help them achieve their goals.
<br />These activities are directly related to the work that is conducted at Delhi Center for the community. Teens learn
<br />about risk factors that negatively impact young people and about protective factors that help combat their adverse
<br />results. Teens take what they learn and design and conduct educational activities to train 40 younger children,
<br />ages 6-13 to build resiliency against bullying. In partnership with the UCI Al Department's Digital Learning Lab,
<br />teens will learn At coding, learn risk factors with cyberbullyin& and technology ethics. The collaboration with the
<br />Digital Learning Lab represents a pioneering stride in enhancing the Teens Engaged in Learning and Leadership
<br />program. By merging Al literacy seamlessly into the curriculum, this initiative not only equips youth with valuable
<br />digital skills but also positions Delhi Center as a trailblazer in shaping the next generation's relationship with
<br />emergi ng technologies.
<br />The Director of Operations will dedicate approximately five in -kind hours per week to the proposed program to
<br />develop and implementtralning and leadership development activities for youth program leaders and to help the
<br />staff and teens develop bullying prevention training activities for the younger children and will also dedicate five
<br />in -kind hours per week for administrative management duties, such as processing payroll, timecards, purchases,
<br />invoices, data tracking, grant management, etc.
<br />The Program Assistant (.50 FTE) will assume the lead role of project coordinator and will coordinate all aspects of
<br />the program. Oversees program development, implementation, supervision, and evaluation; coordinates with
<br />other teen program activities funded by other sources and will ensure proper accounting and tracking of
<br />deliverables. Serves as a mentor, trains & supervises intems in program development and event planning;
<br />coordinates with & schedules guest speakers assist with developing and conducting bullying prevention activities
<br />for teens & children, and coordinates parent workshops. (.50) of the salary will be covered by other funding
<br />sources.
<br />The Jr. Program Leader (.50 FIE) will be of support to the TELL/BRIK program by assisting the Program Assistant
<br />with research, lesson planning activities, schedule coordination, clerical and in -class support. Delhi will need to find
<br />other sources of funding to support this position.
<br />UCI will receive a reduced amount of $6,000 for their partnership, and will keep the original scope of work. The
<br />partnership with UCI will introduce an Artificial Intelligence (AI) literacy curriculum, augmenting the existing
<br />program's impact. Through the partnership with UCI, the program enhancements will incorporate the use of
<br />technology as away of learning and building confidence and resiliency. This program enhancement will encourage
<br />our youth to approach challenges from different angles, find innovative solutions, and persist in facing obstacles,
<br />all of which are skills needed to combat the pressures of gang and or criminal activity that they encounter.
<br />Research shows that exposure to technology such as coding and AI nurtures problem -solving skills in youth. This
<br />includes but Is not limited to At Skill Development; Digital Literacy; Critical Thinking Skills; Ethical Decision -Making;
<br />and CommunityAwareness.
<br />Due to the revised funding, Delhi will absorb the cost and seek funding from other sources for a Program Leader
<br />(.50 FTE) who will be responsible for researching, planning and developing lessons and activities, and provide
<br />direct classroom leadership during non -school day camps. Will offer support as needed for successful program
<br />exertion. Delhi will need to find other sources of funding to support this position.
<br />Gram funds do not suffice to cover the cost for the curriculum, therefore the Delhi Center will absorb the cost. The
<br />cost for the Anti -Bullying Curriculum will be absorbed by the Delhi Center. The curriculum will Include lesson plans
<br />and supplemental activities, including printed curriculum manual with easy -to -teach lessons, lesson scripts and
<br />instructions, and was for visual aids used during the lesson and post -lesson activities. A user-friendly guide
<br />introduces social and emotional learning and other online materials, and support is available to help with
