Leadership Development (8 -weeks), for students who have been identified as potential leaders. As part of the mentoring curriculum, these students will undergo specific classes that will assist their leadership skills and growth. Many of these potential leaders will also be required to assist or provide peer support to other beginning participants in the program, and become involved with certain cominunity activities and events. Work Experience/internships (paid and unpaid, are on oin T). Here, students who have successfully completed intermediate or advanced levels of occupational training will receive support in job and internship exploration for potential opportunities related to the music technology fields. Additional support through job -readiness workshops by our RYTMO staff will include resume writing. proper interview strategies, and verbal communication shills will be explored and monitored through case management. Tutoring: This is a component recently added to the RYTMO roster of services for 2008-2009. The tutoring will enable students who are basic skills deficient to receive numeric/literacy support. More specifically, RYTMO has incorporated a cutting- edge approach by utilizing music education volunteers who will utilize rock, hip-hop and other styles to tutor students. This might include using rap beats/lyrics to engage and teach a student about math, or having a student read and write from a songwriting book about musical influences of their choice. The schedule will revolve around the school year, or as appropriate for students who are working towards earning their GED or high school diploma, and who have low 1 ABE test scores, especially out of school older youth and foster and disabled youth. RN TMO will utilize key volunteers to provide tutoring 1 -hour before each level of general class time, and will focus on students who need to increase reading and numeric skill levels. 2. Describe how collaborations/partnerships will enhance program services and outcomes. Project RYTMO has established a strategic partnership with the Children's Therapeutic Arts Center in Santa Ana. This YSPN site serves as a RYTMO satellite for youth who are residents of Santa Ana yet who are unable to attend classes at the Anaheim studio facility. These collaboration benefits outcomes through: Partnership for strategic outreach and recruitment activities throughout the year. • Co -enrollments with other Santa Ana WIB funded agencies that form part of the YSPN for qualified youth in Santa Ana. Collaborative case management insures that participants who are co -enrolled receive the necessary and specialized services, monitoring and follow-up required to meet WIA performance goals.
