OCAPICA - YSPN FY 2014 -15 D. Supportive Services: The case manager and job developer will work closely with the participant to assess their needs. Based on the staff's assessment, the participant may access supportive services from the time of their first meeting with OCAPICA staff and throughout the program until they reach their maximum per capita limit, or until the participant feels they no longer have need of supportive service. See Attachment G for Policy and Procedures for Supportive Services. E. Incentives: Participants are eligible to receive incentives based on reaching certain goals within the program. With proper documentation, participants may receive these incentives as recognition and reward for attaining goals such as employment, a degree or qualification, improving literacy /numeracy, and others. See Attachment H for Policy and Procedures for Incentives. XI. LEVERAGE FUNDS A. OCAPICA is currently funded by The California Endowment, McKay Foundation, and Irvine Foundation to support Civic Engagement programming and to build the leadership capacity of community members. We are able to leverage these funds to complement our activities in Santa Ana, including the integration of Civic Engagement and Leadership Skills workshops into our youth workforce curriculum. In addition, youth participants and their families are eligible to participate in any of these non -Santa Ana WIB programs. OCAPICA also works in collaboration with community stakeholders and policymakers in the region to disseminate best practices and policies that serve and engage high needs youth. B. Participants will learn about topics such as voting, legislation and how it works, and opportunities for service in the community, which include volunteering in community organizations, serving on youth boards and commissions, and nurturing dreams of running for public office. Through these efforts, participants will gain experience and knowledge to take leadership roles and hopefully enter decision - making positions in their community. All activities are non - partisan in nature. C. All youth (at least 30) participants will be encouraged to participate. D. Program staff are available to facilitate workshops at local after - school programs. A good majority of the workshops will include workshops that we currently facilitate in our job - readiness series. These workshops include, but are not limited to, resume building, interview skills, financial literacy, conflict management, time management, customer service and mock interview. If workshops are requested that are not included in the job - readiness series program staff will coordinate with other OCAPICA programs and EXHIBIT A 25A -36
