ELEMENT # 10: <br /> <br />Access to and provision of a comprehensive array of guidance and <br />counseling support activities that focus improving student performance and <br />achievement. <br /> <br />Project services for Right Start.t participants that involve this final standard have been partially <br />addressed in several of the other standards, particularly those dealing with leadership <br />development and supportive services. Direct access to a Cai-WORKs counselor, a job training <br />assistant and the other Right Start! staff will be an integral part of the activities in this component <br />of the project. Augmented by the services of other Youth Service Provider Network members, <br />this portion of the project will afford participants with comprehensive guidance and counseling <br />services that far exceed those that they can normally access as an out-of-school youth. These <br />staff members will also be available outside the regular school day thus making them available at <br />times when these at-risk young adults do not have to be in class. Alternative methods of access <br />are important to the target population and it is an objective of this part of the proposed program <br />to facilitate the access of these students to supplementary supportive services. <br /> <br />The Project Specialist for the Right Start.t program will monitor participant contacts with all staff <br />and the collaborators to ensure that this part of each participant's ISS is being addressed. <br />Experience with previous JTPA programs has taught that this aspect of program management is <br />extremely import; not only with respect to reporting requirement, but more importantly, with <br />respect to providing appropriate services to participants. This aspect of the program would also <br />be the main method for tracking each participant's progress towards the basic goals of the Right <br />Start! program. <br /> <br />15 <br /> <br /> <br />
