Please refer to attachment F1 and F2 for letters of intent from Santa Ana College, The School of Continuing Education and the Youth Entrepreneurship Programs. 8. Tutorima I. & J. Note: Youth Service Providers are required to use the Test for Adult Basic Education (TABS) on ALL youth to assess their literacy and numeracy skills. Youth who score 8.9 and below are considered "basic skills deficient" who should receive tutoriny or remedial training to improve their literacy and numeracy skills. Describe in detail the tutoring resources that will be provided to vouth. The Santa Ana Public Library currently operates an after -school tutoring program in its Central Library and Newhope Learning Centers as well as in its Jerome and Garfield TeenSpace programs. All student interns will have access to these tutoring services. Prior to acceptance into the program, all WIOA enrolled youth will take a TABE test to assess their levels of basic skills. All enrolled youth who are basic skills deficient will be assigned a TeenSpace Sr. Tutor or Tutor mentor who will schedule time to tutor them on a daily or weekly one-on-one basis to increase their basic skills to the 9th grade level. Students who are not basic skills deficient will also have access to one-on-one hands-on tutoring, primarily in English (as this is what is most needed in the production field) with the goal of increasing the grade levels of their English abilities. Tutoring help will be provided to in -school youth who are in 12th grade to complete their high school diploma. Out of school youth who do not possess a high school diploma must enroll in the SAC Continuing Education High School Diploma or GED completion program. These youth will be assigned a Tutor mentor to assist them with their diploma or GED test preparation. Sr. Tutor and Tutor mentors will utilize TeenSpace math and English computer software applications and MOOC courses as a creative strategy to assist all their students to increase their literacy and numeracy gains. 9. MentorinQ K. Specify how vour organization will provide mentoring to youth. Mentorship has always been a cornerstone of the Santa Ana Public Library's Teen (12-18) and Young Adult (18-24) programming, and it will be a cornerstone of the "Seeds to Trees Academy" program as well. All program participants will be assigned a Tutor Mentor, who they will meet with individually on a weekly basis for 30 minutes as part of their on -the job training. They will discuss the progress of their vocational and on -the job training as well as any additional educational tutoring and support service needs that they may have. Tutor Mentors will provide the necessary resources to meet their mentees' needs. Tutor Mentors will also schedule their mentees' tutoring time at this meeting. In addition to mentoring from their assigned Tutor Mentors, interns will also receive mentorship on their particular production projects from project mentors. These Project Mentors will be responsible for helping interns develop and produce content for programming on specific topics. They will also receive mentoring from the Case Managers who will meet with them on a bi-monthly basis to track their progress and needs. Interns will also receive additional mentoring from their in -class vocational training instructors and externship employers. 16
