The interactive components are: STEAM workshops, College & Career Readiness Training,free <br /> books, special outings, nutrition seminars, and caring mentors plus wraparound services for the families. <br /> America On Track's Brighter Futures for Children of Prisoners Program specifically addresses the needs of <br /> the most overlooked population—children of prisoners. Recent statistics show that 65.2%of children <br /> who lost a parent to incarceration in their childhood are convicted of a crime by the time they are 25 <br /> years old. However, with our program and in spite of having parents, older brothers, cousins and uncles <br /> in and out of the system, the wonderful children (ages 7-16)that we work with are eager to have new <br /> opportunities and our positive outcomes reflect this. In Orange County alone,there are too many <br /> children of prisoners who are being overlooked in terms of targeted services and they mostly five in <br /> impoverished conditions where they are more likely to be exposed to gangs, drugs and other illegal <br /> activities. <br /> AOT helps break the cycle of poverty and incarceration because Brighter Futures is a holistic and <br /> comprehensive program that provides children and families with education and resources to build their <br /> confidence and stay motivated for the future. <br /> Because children of prisoners are at a higher risk of educational failure, early substance use and abuse, <br /> and coming into contact with the juvenile justice system,America On Track has implemented a unique <br /> and free 5-component program to guide them on a successful path to a brighter future: <br /> * STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts & Math) activities <br /> * Inspirational College & Career Readiness Training <br /> * Qualified,trained mentors serving as positive role models <br /> * Free special events designed to provide joy in their lives <br /> * Mantal Hwalth r.niincalinp, <br /> EXHIBIT A <br />
