The OCCC has no minimum requirements in addition to the WIOA Youth eligibility <br />requirements. <br />D. Special considerations for youth services <br />OCCC intends to serve at least 75% of out-of-school youth. At least 10% of youth with <br />disabilities, at least 10% of foster/emancipated youth, at least 10% of youth that has dropped <br />out of high school and 10% of youth on probation. Historically, OCCC has met or exceeded <br />these expectations and is evident within our annual program audits from our WIB contractors. <br />E. Specify how the targeted youth populations will be recruited. <br />The outreach and recruitment plan for this program will target youth most in need and will be <br />recruited through the following: <br />• Local school districts and alternative schools <br />• County alternative schools <br />• Probation officers <br />• Youth and Family Resource Center <br />• Word-of-mouth <br />• Job fairs/presentations <br />In addition to the normal recruitment strategies of job fairs, partner networks, and <br />presentations to and referrals from local groups and organizations, the OCCC will employ <br />"street outreach" to recruit the WIA participants. Street outreach entails handing out flyers <br />with the OCCC's toll-free telephone number (888.641.2677) and website address <br />(www.hireyouth.org); and interacting with youth where youth "hang out" in parks, malls, food <br />courts, week -end community events, and even walking local neighborhoods. Historically the <br />OCCC's most effective recruitment strategy has been referrals from former and current <br />Corpsmembers, their family, and friends, as well as through Craigslist and advertisements in <br />such periodicals as the PennySaver. See attached recruitment flyer in Attachment W. <br />F. Include letters of Support from organizations that have agreed to refer youth to your <br />program. See Attachment C. <br />See letters from Young Invincibles, YWCA, Western Youth, Community Services, CCCOE/CDCR <br />Probation, and the OC Department of Education Accountability Commitment Program. <br />G. Describe your recruitment plan that will fulfill the requirement of enrolling 100% of youth <br />by the 2nd quarter of the program (December 31, 2015). <br />We have been successful at recruitment and enrolling youth in the program in the past and do <br />not expect any difficulty enrolling youth by December 31, 2015. Our partners rely on our <br />services and regularly refer their clients to us. The full-time case manager and the recruitment <br />team will provide needed resources to complete full enrollment by December 31, 2015. <br />EXHIBIT A <br />
