Description of Work — In the space below, describe the program to be funded during the 12-month contract period. Orange County On Track's award -winning Kids On Track... Through Mentoring program has transformed the lives of thousands of children over the past 10 years. Our success has been documented by a nationally acclaimed, science -based evaluation firm: EMT Associates. The primary goal of the Santa Ana On Track youth program is to continue the successful life -changing mentoring program for disadvantaged families in the Weed & Seed area. In order to combat drug use, gang involvement and educational failure, On Track provides multi -dimensional services and opportunities that include a 4-hour weekly after -school program, positive role models, parent education seminars, private tutoring, mentoring, and the option to participate in community service projects as well as fun special events. The On Track program keeps kids on track by providing vulnerable children with a structured and nurturing environment during the critical hours of 2:30 to 6:30 p.m., where they learn and interact with trained teen mentors and On Track staff members. The On Track teens, who have been highly screened and trained, serve as positive role models as they assist in presenting lessons on social and character development, the joys of reading, and conflict mediation, in addition to participating in recreational activities. Additionally, the children and their families benefit from free, fun special events throughout the year. IV. Activities funded by this grant — How will CDBG funds be used for the funded program?
