Name of Applicant: Amount Requested: Category: Score: Delhi $10,000 Organization 82.0 -3`d Place Brief Description of Project: The Delhi Summer Enrichment Camp is a two - pronged approach designed to provide age appropriate visual and performing arts activities to youth ages 6 to 15 as well as teens and young adults, ages 16 to 21. The goal is to provide challenging enrichment activities for both age groups that will help them identify with specific art forms while providing older participants with job skills development to help them learn about careers in the arts. The Camp will feature a comprehensive menu that participants can choose from on a rotational basis, including visual and performing arts, media arts, video production, costume and set design, interview techniques, story - telling, and other opportunities that will help participants improve their self- image, develop critical and creative skills, and earn respect. Older participants will act as assistant instructors and coaches and they will explore creative ways to build skills and to learn how those skills can generate pathways to higher education, career exploration, and long -term passion for the arts. All participants will collaborate on designing and developing a multi -media production about their experiences at camp and about the history of the Delhi neighborhood that will be presented at various venues, including the Delhi Neighborhood Day and the Zocalo fundraiser. Participants will also develop approximately 10 talent show pieces and will work as a team to select one to two entries for the citywide talent show. Community Benefit: The proposed project will enrich the Santa Ana arts and culture community by engaging young people in the arts, by providing them with a menu of arts classes on a rotating basis to give them maximum exposure to visual and performing arts to help them "find their niche" and to help them develop a long -term passion and commitment to the arts. The project will also serve as a vehicle to celebrate and share the rich history and culture of the Delhi community through the arts. 25J -12
