EXHIBIT A SUMMER 2003 PROGRAM OVERVIEW The Camp Success 2003 program will be a one-day activity on Saturday, July 12, 2003, rather than the one-week pre-work fonnat initiated in Summer 2001 that supplanted the previous Saturday-based program fonnat in use for the previous eight summers. The focus will remain the provision of pre-employment skills training and post-secondary career planning activities to the 320 participants aged 14 - 21 in the Santa Ana Summer Youth Employment Program. The program will be funded this year by City of Santa Ana Federal Empowennent Zone (FEZ) funds. The one-day program will take place at Century High School which was selected based on criteria including easy accessibility for students, adequate classroom space, ample lunch area and the availability of necessary equipment and facilities. The basic goal of Camp Success is to assist disadvantaged youth in overcoming obstacles towards high school graduation and success in higher education while preparing themselves for entry into the world of work. Camp Success 2003 will provide the workshops designed to support the Summer Youth Program; e.g., labor market orientation and a new feature which will be presented by Pacific Institute staff on goal setting. Other goals highlight: . developing the interpersonal skills needed to work effectively with people from other backgrounds, cultures and generations; and, . helping students to see themselves as successful, positive and contributing members of the local Santa Ana community. The Camp Success 2003 program hours will be 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. The tentative schedule that follows indicates the specific topics to be covered during the Camp Success workshops by the Santa Ana Unified staff. With the "flip-flop" design of the schedule, the Pacific Institute staff will provide the other portion of the day's activities in the auditorium at Century. Based on the very positive reception during the past five summers, a "planner" will be given to participants. The core curriculum has been developed around several resource documents including: . CAREER PREPARATION PAMPHLETS; Steck-Vaughan Co. . THE JOB HUNTING HANDBOOK: Job Outlook to 2005; Dahlstrom & Company PLANNING FOR YOUR FUTURE; Los Angeles Times .
