EXHIBIT A <br />OPERATIONAL AGREEMENT <br />Big Brothers Big Sisters of Orange County, a Blue Print Model Program, has agreed to <br />a partnership with the SAPAAL program. This organization's mission is to help children <br />reach their potential through professionally supported one -to -one mentoring <br />relationships that have a measurable impact. Currently, Big Brothers Big Sisters has <br />established programs in Diamond Elementary School (target area school) and three <br />other elementary schools in Santa Ana. The goal, with grant funding, is to establish a <br />new program at Carr Intermediate School. This would allow graduating students from <br />Diamond to continue with the program at Carr Intermediate. The target population <br />would be well served by this partnership. The Big Brothers Big Sisters program has <br />been proven to be successful in increasing academic performance, self- confidence, <br />decision making skills, trust towards others, and other indicators critical to life -long <br />success. <br />8 <br />251 -10 <br />
