EXHIBIT 3 <br /> this process, each trainee is required to participate in at least one outreach or volunteer event, <br /> helping them develop leadership skills while contributing to their community. <br /> Number of Youth in Civic Engagement & Leadership Development: All 20 youth who will be <br /> supported through this program will participate in the leadership development activities <br /> provided above. <br /> Supportive Services <br /> Hope Builders provides supportive services to youth enrolled in our training programs to help <br /> address financial hardships and barriers to participation. <br /> Transportation Assistance: Bus passes and gas cards are available to trainees during the training <br /> phase and, in rare or emergency situations, may also be provided during the placement phase. <br /> To qualify, trainees must demonstrate financial hardship. Employment Readiness <br /> Specialists/Coordinators work with trainees to create a budget plan, offering financial guidance <br /> alongside this support. Bus passes may be distributed at the start of training at the discretion of <br /> the Employment Readiness Specialist/Coordinator, with proper documentation and approval <br /> from the Employment Readiness Manager. For trainees without a driver's license, Hope <br /> Builders partners with GNC Driving School to provide behind-the-wheel instruction as needed, <br /> including six hours of training, one hour of supervised practice before the test, and the use of a <br /> vehicle for the exam. <br /> Childcare Assistance: Hope Builders offers childcare stipends to active trainees in the training <br /> phase. "Childcare" is broadly defined and includes traditional childcare facilities, babysitting by <br /> family or neighbors, and essential child-related expenses such as diapers, formula, food, and <br /> clothing. This assistance is intended to support trainees in attending classes, externships, and <br /> achieving their program goals. <br /> Emergency/Special Funds: Limited emergency funding may be provided to trainees facing <br /> financial hardships that could impede their ability to complete training or secure employment. <br /> This may include one-time assistance for essential expenses, such as a utility bill or fees for a <br /> DMV permit test. <br /> These supportive services are designed to ensure trainees can fully participate in their training <br /> and successfully transition to employment. <br /> Supportive Service Policy: Please see Attachment N for Hope Builders' supportive service policy. <br /> Incentives <br />
