E. The Career Navigator will recruit the targeted youth populations through participation in OC <br />PACT (Parole and Community Team) meetings, engagement with the Youth Council Network, <br />monthly community tours, attendance at resource fairs, and program presentations to new and <br />existing community partners. Working Wardrobes will create outreach flyers marketing the <br />program and share them with over 185 partners. <br />F. Included as Attachment J is a Letter of Support from Simon Scholars. Although Simon Scholars <br />primarily serves in-school youth, they can speak to the benefits their clients have experienced <br />after participating in similar programming, including wardrobing services, and workshops. <br />G. Working Wardrobes' recruitment plan to enroll 80% of youth by the 2nd quarter of the <br />program (December 31, 2025) includes a multi-faceted approach: participation in OC PACT <br />meetings, engagement with the Youth Council Network, monthly community tours, attendance <br />at resource fairs, and program presentations. Referral forms will be accepted from partners or <br />through self-referrals. Staff will conduct a screening phone call to evaluate basic eligibility. <br />Eligible youth will then be invited to weekly orientation sessions, where they will learn about <br />the program and complete the pre-application intake forms. The Career Navigator will establish <br />a small cohort of participants, once WIOA approved, to begin the five part workshop series. This <br />cohort model has been shown in similar programs, to provide a peer support environment that <br />helps the participants stay connected and motivated. <br />EXHIBIT 2 <br />  <br />  <br />City Council 10 – 134 7/1/2025
