in the ORC. Peer Mentors will also be available for appointments. Our program design <br />allows for the ability of each of the 4 Peer Mentors to assist any youth involved in FYLP <br />if the assigned Peer Mentor is not available. <br />In the event a Peer Mentor resigns their position prior to the program year end, we will <br />hire another qualified Peer Mentor from our group of 20-30 Peer Mentors and work hard <br />to ensure a smooth transition. Additionally, the Foster Youth Liaison Project Supervisor <br />is a strong resource for the Peer Mentors and youth when needed. <br />D. Program Description <br />1. Describe the overall services that will be made available to the WIA participant. <br />4 .45 FTE part time Peer Mentors will be dedicated to this project. The Foster Youth <br />Liaison Project will provide comprehensive services onsite at the Orangewood Resource <br />Center. All 24 foster/emancipated youth will be assigned a Peer Mentor at a 6:1 ratio. <br />Youth will receive case management, internet access to employment and training <br />information, job leads, pre-employment services, supportive services, incentives for <br />accomplishments, and referrals to other WIA funded programs and community resources. <br />The Peer Mentors will assess and develop a My Action Plan (MAP) for each enrolled <br />participant. For those youth who are assessed to be basic skills deficient, an <br />individualized tutoring program will be developed. Participants may receive tutoring <br />services through their assigned Peer Mentor or through another community based or <br />educational entity. Peer Mentors may use web-based tutoring programs as well. All <br />participants will be encouraged to reach performance measure goals. Ultimately, Peer <br />Mentors will work diligently to meet WIA performance measures, properly document <br />client files, and provide whatever support necessary for clients to reach their employment <br />and educational goals. <br />2.
