Agreement Statement Stand Up for Kids Orange County concurs with the provisions contained in EXHIBIT II -Sample Agreement. Firm and Team Experience StandUp for Kids OC (SUFK OC), founded in 2003, is located at 1055 El Camino Dr. Unit E, in Costa Mesa, CA. SUFK OC is one of 16 chapters belonging to the national non-profit corporation StandUp for Kids, founded in 1990, in San Diego. The organization and all of its chapters share a common mission to end the cycle of youth homelessness, one youth at a time. The SUFK national office provides the local chapters with back- end support including fundraising licenses, insurance, and website maintenance. The national headquarters location is 200 Nelson Ferry Road, Suite B Decatur, GA 30030. StandUp for Kids specializes in serving youth, as their needs are unique, compared to homeless adults. Homeless youth typically have no work experience, little life experience, limited education and recent trauma from home and/or from living on the streets. Therefore, it is not enough to simply house the youth, since they require time to develop the life skills, job skills and emotional attributes required to live independently. To end the cycle of homelessness for youth, SUFK provides four basic services: 1) Street Outreach, 2) Mentoring, 3) Housing Support, and 4) Youth Centers. Our service model follows national guidelines set by the US lnteragency Council on Homelessness regarding stable housing, permanent connections, education, employment, and social and emotional wellbeing for homeless youth. SUFK OC is well known across underserved neighborhoods in Orange County. In 2024, we served 1,784 youth across 28 cities. 31% of the youth we served were in Santa Ana. We provided 11,833 points of service, 3,998 meals/groceries, 2,217 nights of shelter and gave 965 youth help with post-secondary or vocational training. We offer two primary mentoring programs "Road Map to Success" (RMTS) for school age youth, aged 12-18 and "Journey to Self-Sufficiency" (JTS) for youth no longer in secondary school, aged 16-24. Road Map to Success (RMTS), designed for school-age youth, provides a holistic support system to ensure homeless and at-risk students graduate high school and prepare for their next steps, post-graduation.
