Working predominantly with the Hispanic/Latino community in Santa Ana, TCCDC recognizes the systemic challenges that historically exclude these families from opportunities that lead to upward mobility and long-term economic success. For example, the families we serve face additional immigrant -specific challenges such as language and cultural barriers, proof of income, legal status, and identification barriers that contribute to high rates of intergenerational poverty as well as issues of chronic homelessness, unstable housing, unemployment and crime. Legado Academy addresses the complex challenges faced by LMI communities of color in Santa Ana by integrating two highly -effective programs focused on two key drivers of economic mobility: parent training and financial education. Legado Academy includes our parent training programming, an effective peer -to -peer education and engagement model supports parents and caregivers in raising healthy, caring, and responsible children who are resilient, resourceful, and successful, while also gaining valuable life skills. The program utilizes the Raising Highly Capable Kids (RHCK) Curriculum, an evidence -based parenting program designed to help parents create optimal environments for their children by teaching them to foster the Search Institute's 40 Developmental Assets or 'building blocks' which are based on extensive research in youth development, resiliency, and prevention. These healthy building blocks reduce the impact of negative risk factors on children, such as poverty, toxic stress, homelessness, and addiction. Studies show that these 40 Developmental Assets are proven to promote long-term academic, health, wellness, and economic outcomes. Research from the Search Institute found that the 40 Developmental Assets have a powerful, positive impact on young people— in particular, children and teenagers who demonstrate higher levels of these assets are involved in fewer risky behaviors and are much more likelyto exhibit positive values, such as leadership, good health, diversity, and success in school. However, unfortunately most young people do not have enough assets. Specifically, about 59% of youth ages 11-18, have 20 or fewer Developmental Assets, according to Search Institute surveys. The curriculum is facilitated by Parent Leaders — volunteers recruited and trained to become peer trainers, all of whom have completed the RHCK Curriculum and after seeing the transformation in the lives of their family are committed to helping others in their communities. Following the completion of the parent training component, participants are enrolled in our 7-week financial EXHIBIT A
