What does your city hope to gain from this program/are there strategic goals this program can help your city meet? The City of Santa Ana through its Workforce Development Board (SAWDB) intends to provide meaningful work experience to local youth, particularly those who are historically part of underrepresented groups and have difficulty finding employment due to the pandemic. The focus will be on low-income youth, justice involved youth and other marginalized groups. Strategically, the City will strengthen existing partnerships and establish new ones with agencies and organizations committed to increasing youth employment, providing career guidance and fostering that same commitment in the youth they serve. Youth, will be provided with meaningful work experience coupled with intensive career exploration. Lastly, the project aims to address issues of food insecurity by collaborating with food recovery organizations and services to help feed those in need. The lead for this project is the SAWDB, the designated administrator and operator of workforce development programming for the City of Santa Ana and recipient of federal Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) and other workforce development funding. Section 2: Program Design 1. Which focus area(s) will youth be working on (food insecurity, climate change, etc.)? If other focus areas are addressed, please describe. Youth will be working directly on projects and assignments addressing food insecurity, the impacts of climate change, and post -pandemic recovery. 2. Do you plan to sub -grant with CBOs? If so, please name each organization and any prior experience they have running similar programs or the process by which you will select CBO partners. The City of Santa Ana will provide services to youth using both in-house program staff and partnerships with Community Based Organizations (CBOs). In house program staff will include personnel from both the Santa Ana WORK Center and the Santa Ana Public Library. The WORK Center has decades of implementing youth programs specifically through a "Daisy Wheel' service delivery model. The underlying philosophy of the Daisy Wheel is an "All Youth One System" concept, where resources are leveraged from a network of Youth Service Providers. The concept allowed youth regardless of eligibility to receive services from the various partners of a Youth Service Providers Network (YSPN).
