The goal of the THINK Together Santa Ana Afterschool Programs provide out-of-school academic support and enrichment for low- income Santa Ana students that encourages them to succeed in school and graduate.

Adults also serve as mentors and positive role models for students whose academic success is impacted by poverty, language barriers, and lack of academic help at home. IV. Activities funded by this grant -How will CDBG funds be used for the funded program? Narratively describe the budget for the funded program illustrated in Exhibit B and B-1. Under the direction and supervision of the Site Coordinator at each location, THINK Together staff and volunteers work with students one-on-one or in small groups to provide the individual attention not available during the school day. Targeted academic interventions in literacy and math help students improve ability and comprehension in core subjects. Students receive help in understanding and completing daily homework so they return to school prepared and ready to learn. Varied enrichment and recreational activities round out the curriculum. The requested CDBG funds will be used to support Site Coordinator salaries at three THINK Together afterschool programs at Heninger, Franklin, and Madison elementary schools. Exhibit B-1 reflects [he salary and benefit costs for the Site Coordinators of THINK Together programs a[ Madison, Heninger, and Franklin elementary schools. CDBG funding will provide approximately 6% of these costs. Program staff salaries and benefits are the primary expense. Research has shown that the skill and stabiliTy of the staff has a direct impact on program quality and outcomes for the students being served. CDBG funding is not requested for other program expenses. Exhibit A Page 1 of 1
