Santa Ana youth, like youth in many communities, face various challenges in entering and navigating the workforce. These challenges can be influenced by a combination of economic, educational and social factors. High demand for jobs and limited availability of entry-level positions can make it challenging for youth to secure employment. Youth often face the challenge of needing work experience to get a job but struggle to gain experience without prior employment. The City of Santa Ana, through its Workforce Development Board (SAWDB), intends to provide meaningful work experience to local youth, particularly those who are historically part of underrepresented groups and have difficulty finding employment. The focus will be on low-income youth, justice involved youth and other marginalized groups. Strategically, the City will strengthen existing partnerships and establish new ones with other local government agencies and non-profit organizations that are committed to increasing youth employment, providing career guidance, mentoring, and fostering that same commitment in the youth they serve. With this grant, youth will be provided with meaningful work experience coupled with intensive career exploration. Youth will have the opportunity to explore various careers in public service, education, food insecurity and the exploration of future -edge Al and STEM technology tools. Lastly, the project aims to address issues of food insecurity by collaborating with food recovery organizations and services to help feed those in need. The lead for this project is the SAWDB, the designated administrator and operator of workforce development programming for the City of Santa Ana and recipient of federal Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) and other workforce development funding. The SAWDB is part of the city's Community Development Agency and brings a history of working with the community and expertise in implementation and oversight of federal, state and local grants. DocuSlgn Envelope ID: E1071D5D-DF7F-4608-B2B7-67AAA5BCB785 City of Santa Ana Youth Employment Project Funded by CaliforniaVolunteers RFA # CV23-112 Section 2: Program Design The City of Santa Ana will use the CaliforniansForAll Youth Service Corps (CA4ALL) grant to provide services to youth using in-house program staff and partnerships with Community Based Organizations (CBOs). In house program staff will include personnel from the Santa Ana WORK Center and the Santa Ana Public Library (SAPL). The focus areas will be on Food insecurity, education, public service through paid work experience, and career exploration and readiness. As a new focus for this round of funding, the WORK Center in collaboration with the SAPL will provide introductions and exploration of future -edge Artificial Intelligence (AI) and STEM technology tools through a series of workshops and training to expose CA4AII Fellows to the various Al and STEM career pathways. The WORK Center has decades of implementing youth programs specifically through a "Daisy Wheel" service delivery model. The underlying philosophy of the Daisy Wheel is an "All Youth One System" concept, where resources are leveraged from a network of Youth Service Providers. The concept allows youth regardless of eligibility to receive services that walk through the door. Youth are provided seamless service and connected to one of the Center's programs and/or to one of the partners of a Youth Service Providers Network (YSPN). As the Navigator to the YSPN, the WORK Center provides the partners with structure and guidance on meeting the grant objectives. The WORK Center also has expertise developing and administering programs like the current CaliforniansForAll funded Santa Ana Youth (SAY) Employment program. For this round of funding, we will work with CEO's like Working Wardrobes, CEO Leadership Alliance Orange County, and Dreams for Schools to provide some of the wraparound services that will include workforce workshops, professional workplace attire for the follows and career exploration in some of the key focus areas mentioned above. The WORK center staff, will provide career counseling, career exploration, case management, supportive services (public transportation, gas cards, clothing, and assistance in locating child care), linkages with alternative career technical/secondary education, and other appropriate referrals. The WORK Center in collaboration with the SAPL will provide introductions and exploration of future -edge Al and STEM technology tools through a series of workshops and training for the CA4AII fellows as part of our education and career exploration focus. The SAPL, operates various successful youth engagement programs including BrainFuse, Robotics programs, and a robust teen center. Their programs provide online training courses along with engaging support to help Youth master academic concepts, The SAPL is finalizing plans to expand these programs to engage more youth through their partnership with CEO Leadership Alliance Orange County, Dreams for Schools and Human Leadership Institute and expose CA4AII fellows to the expanding and relatively new career fields of Al and STEM technology. DocuSign Envelope ID: El07l D5D-DF7F-4608-B2B7-67AAA6BCB785 City of Santa Ana Youth Employment Project Funded by CaliforniaVolunteers RFA # CV23-112 The SAPL will collaborate with the WORK Center to provide workshops and training sessions that include Robotics Basics, Coding, Digital Literacies, Digital Media Arts and Al, and a Youth Leadership program to the CA4AII fellows. Fellows interested in more future -edge Al and STEM technology exploration will be connected with organizations to learn more. The aim is to empower youth through hands-on experiences and exposure to Al and STEM technology, fostering their career exploration and workforce development. Based on current performance outcomes and feedback from the CA4AII fellows, the City plans to continue its partnership with Working Wardrobes for delivery of workforce readiness services. Working Wardrobes will offer impactful workforce readiness workshops like Navigation Success in the Workplace, Harassment Prevention, Power of your Image, with the added option of providing professional wardrobe services to equip fellows for successful entry into the workforce. After the CA4AII fellows have begun their work experience they will be provided with workshops on resume writing, interview skills, job search and recognizing the skills they are gaining in their work experience component and how they translate into securing and retaining employment. This collaboration allows participants to attend a tailored selection of workshops, ensuring an effective approach to their career development. The workshops aim to empower the youth by providing them with valuable skills, confidence, and the necessary tools to navigate the professional world of work successfully. The City, through the WORK Center, will develop worksites and provide paid work experiences year round in such capacities as program leaders, community center attendants, and other support staff who will actively contribute to the restoration and revitalization of Community Service programming at essential community hubs such as parks, community centers, libraries, and family resource centers. Additionally, youth will gain experience and career awareness in Planning & Building as Customer Service Clerks, Building Safety Division Aides and Code Enforcement Aides with the goal of strengthening public service in government. The WORK Center will continue to partner with the Santa Ana Police Department to offer exposure to careers in service and community safety. CA4AII fellows will gain work experience at the Police Athletic & Activity League as tutors, and support staff to other internal Police departments such as the Jail Bureau, and Forensics. This expansion into Planning & Building and the Police departments aligns with the broader goal of strengthening public service in government by exposing CA4AII fellows to diverse career paths and creating awareness of the crucial roles local government provides in community. Additionally, partnerships to provide career awareness and services around food insecurity will continue with two local area food banks - Community Action Partnership of OC and Second Harvest - both serve the region and CA4AII fellows have had work experience assignments assisting in distribution, warehousing and growing fresh food. Second Harvest runs Mercado El Sol in partnership with the El Sol Science & Arts Academy public charter school, its second school -affiliated permanent food pantry in 3 DocuSign Envelope ID: E1071 D5D-DF7F-4608-B2B7-67AAA5BC8785 City of Santa Ana Youth Employment Project Funded by CaliforniaVolunteers RFA # CV23-112 the county. Mercado El Sol carries an array of canned goods, and meat and dairy products. The site is near downtown Santa Ana and is set up to provide more than just nutritious food in the poor neighborhood it serves, it offers patrons measures of compassion and respect that will also be instilled in the CA4AII fellows that are placed there. By offering meaningful paid work experiences across various roles within the city and career exploration, the City is actively addressing immediate community needs while simultaneously contributing to the development of skilled individuals. These experiences contribute to the development of career pathways, guiding youth towards fulfilling and sustainable roles within the community. The programs comprehensive approach aligns with the City's commitment to fostering a robust, interconnected, and service -oriented community. By nurturing talent and strengthening the city's capacity in education and public services, the City ensures long-term benefits for residents, reinforcing its dedication to the holistic development of both individuals and the community at large. This proposed CA4AII program empowers the youth with practical skills, career insights, and a sense of civic responsibility while contributing to the overall well-being and vibrancy of their community. Through this program, the City is actively investing in the future workforce while simultaneously enhancing the quality and accessibility of essential community services. The proposed start date for programming is September 1, 2024. The proposed program will be offered year-round with a summer program to accommodate CA4AII fellows school schedule and additional flexibility in their availability to work during the summer months. Section 3: Youth Recruitment/Development The City and its CBO partners have established networks that will be relied upon to disseminate program information and assist in recruiting youth from the priority eligibility categories. For example, the Youth Services Provider Network through the WORK Center holds meetings on a monthly basis, which brings together community serving organizations who have a youth focus and work with foster, homeless and justice involved individuals. The City will also use various media resources including release of periodic news releases through its Public Information Officer; posting of electronic program announcements/flyers to social media including Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and program information on the City's website. Other outreach strategies will include posting physical program announcements/flyers at all Santa Ana library branches, recreation centers, community and family resource centers, high school and college career counseling centers, and other high -traffic 4 DocuSign Envelope ID; E1071 D5D-DF7F-4608-B2B7-67AAA5BCB785 City of Santa Ana Youth Employment Project Funded by CaliforniaVolunteers RFA # CV23-112 public spaces, distributing e-program announcements to utilities customers and housing voucher recipients; and delivering presentations to probation officers, social services agencies, guidance counselors, and other local youth -serving entities. In order to maintain competitiveness and attract and retain youth in the program, the City is committed to offering CA4AII fellows an hourly wage of $17 to $18 depending on the level of work. The duration of the work experience will range from 200 to 700 hours. If a specific assignment requires skills and proficiency beyond entry-level expectations, a higher hourly wage will be considered. The program will offer both year-round and summer tracks, with year-round assignments spanning 6-12 months and summer assignments lasting 8-10 weeks. Section 4: Metrics/Outcomes The City is able to capture the baseline metrics that are outlined in the Request for Applications for the CaliforniansForAll Youth Service Corps as they are similar to those already captured and recorded for other workforce development programs that the City administers. However, the following three metrics will prove challenging as youth participants are very hard to locate and/or unwilling to respond to inquiries/surveys after they have left the program: Percentage of youth who report job satisfaction after one year of employment, as reported by a survey. Percentage of youth who report an interest in a career in public service after one year of employment, as measured by a survey. Percentage of youth employed in public service after one year of employment. Section 5: Budget/Staffing/Communications The City of Santa Ana is requesting $2,000,000 to serve 120 youth between the ages of 16 and 30 years between September 1, 2024 through December 31, 2025 and is committed to using California Volunteers developed branding for this program and participating in California Volunteers -organized trainings/curriculum, if asked. Under the terms of the grant solicitation, the CA4AII grant will allow for the City of Santa Ana to provide administrative support including fiscal and programmatic oversight, compliance review, tracking and reporting participant progress/outcomes. Two full time Workforce Specialist's and a part time staff will be responsible for outreach, intake, eligibility, and worksite development. Staff will manage the day-to- day aspects of the program, including, recruiting participants, ensuring their eligibility, orienting them to the program, assigning them to a worksite, supervising their work/activity, collecting time cards. Staff will provide career counseling, career exploration, case management, supportive services (public transportation, gas cards, DocuSign Envelope ID: El07l D5D-DF7F-4608-B2B7-67AAA5BCB785 City of Santa Ana Youth Employment Project Funded by CaliforniaVolunteers RFA # CV23-112 clothing, and assistance in locating child care), linkages with alternative secondary education and adult continuing education, and other appropriate referrals. Staff will also ensure participation in the various workshops offered by Working Wardrobes and SAPL. All three staff will work on direct operation and wrap -around services as needed by the Fellows and charge accordingly. Additional staff from the SAPL will put together all artificial intelligence workshops, career exploration, and STEM technology to ensure successful execution of the new added focus for the Fellows. They will be charged to wrap around services and be working with the youth to provide the workshops. 11 DocuSign Envelope ID: El07l D5D-DF7F-4608-B2B7-67AAA5BCB785 Exhibit B Budget Detail CaliforniansForAll Youth Service Corps A Iicant CI of Santa Ana Contact information Deborah Sanchez dsanchezPsanta-ana ore -A.
