ATTEST: APPROVED AS TO FORM: Sonia R. Carvalho M City y Steven A, Mendoza Executive Director Community Development Agency CITY OF SANTA ANA Title: Name of Applicant: Award Amount: Category: Average Score: ALBI $6,190 Organization 87.2 — 5t" Organization's Description of Project: Active Learning Believe and Inspire in partnership with the Hoover Elementary will provide the opportunity for students ages 6-9, to create visual art and poetry based on their own personal community superheroes. The varied pieces of artwork will be published and showcased throughout the city at several venues such as DTSA Art walk, Santa Ana Public Libraries and local businesses. The winning poetry piece will be showcased through a song or spoken word and accompanied by a contemporary dance; while the winning art piece will become the cover of the book. Organization is based in Santa Ana and proposes to use grant funds to provide arts and culture programming in Wards 1, 2, and 4. Organization's proposed use of funds: Active Learning Believe and Inspire (ALBI) will use the funding to pay for staff salaries, materials for the projects and the publishing fees. The total amount of funding requested is $6190.00 A teaching artist will spend a total of 39 days teaching various age groups developmentally appropriate lessons in visual art and poetry. Students will be working with the teacher for 50 minutes 5 days a week to learn and create their own works of art that will then be composed into a published book by Classroom Authors. The teaching artist will be paid $25 an hour and have 1 hour to prepare program activities each day and 3 hours of instruction for all age groups. The first 6 weeks, or 24 days, will be spent in the classroom with students. At the beginning of each week, a community hero, such as a police officer, local artist, educator or family member, will visit the class and speak to the students about their career and their goals. Next, the teacher will guide the students to analyze what they learned about this community hero, reflect on their own goals, and write freely to express their thoughts. Students will then analyze and unpack a developmentally appropriate poem related to the hero or subject of the week such as dreams or goals. Additionally, the teacher will lead students into critically thinking and analyzing various pieces of visual art that encapsulate their feelings into a picture. At the end of the week, students will have the chance to present their works of art in front of the class and share their visions. Skill development activities in each discipline of art are based on the California Arts Standards and the developmentally appropriate needs of the students. The curriculum builds in a weekly series that begins with foundational skills then methodically explored and analyzed through a multitude of activities and projects that merge art, expression, self-awareness and end with a culminating performance. Every class encompasses the development of English -Language skills as well as providing opportunities for children to explore, create and innovate their ideas through art. Students explore a wide variety of techniques and methods to produce meaningful artworks ready for showcase. Various materials such as paper, colored pencils, paint and paint brushes, will need to be purchased at a total cost of $700. Throughout the program the community hero's will have a time to judge the material and choose 2 winning pieces by the end of 6 weeks. The winning poetry piece will be showcased through a song or spoken word and accompanied by a contemporary dance; while the winning art piece will become the cover of the book and will be submitted to Classroom Authors to be published. The teacher will spend the remaining 15 days teaching students dance choreography to accompany the poetry through song or spoken word and supporting students at their community ALBI Page 1 of 4 performances. Students will have a chance to showcase their efforts and the published book at various venues such as the end of summer performance at the Delhi Center, Downtown Santa Ana Art Walk, Santa Ana Library and other local business. The cost for each book is $18.00. We will order a total of 150 books. One hundred and fifty books will be distributed to the students and throughout the city of Santa Ana in various venues. Once the book is published and ready to distribute, the teacher, parents and the students will attend one City of Santa Ana Council and one SAUSD board Meeting to share their project and experiences, as well as other venues throughout the city to celebrate the artistic community. Program activities and outcomes are defined based on 4 main areas to encourage positive youth development included in classroom time at the Delhi Center. SKILL BUILDING/CREATING: Youths will learn foundational skills to conceptualize, develop and refine artistic ideas that are methodically explored and analyzed through a multitude of activities combined with problem solving, personal development and gang prevention. Expert artists will conduct classes on life skills, self and body awareness, self-identity, how to resolve conflicts and communication through arts -based lessons. RESPONDING/CONNECTING: Young artists will observe, interpret, analyze, and evaluate novice and professional art work and activities to establish critical thinking skills, increase knowledge through personal experiences, and develop new ideas with societal, cultural and historical context to deepen understanding of the work. Activities will help youths to discover appreciation and inspiration for optimal growth and motivation to achieve personal goals. PERFORMING/PRESENTING: Youths will exercise and refine artistic work to convey meaning through presentation of artwork as individuals and with groups. Students will gain positive peer interactions, trust, teamwork and belonging to a community by connecting with peers and adults who demonstrate positive social behaviors, networking, supportive mentors and community engagement. Participants will create their presentations to highlight lessons learned through their participation in gang prevention activities and skill development process. RECOGNITION: Young artists will participate in events, attend crime prevention workshops and gain an understanding of humane values, empathy and a sense of social justice. Activities are focused on social and behavioral skills. Students will be recognized for their accomplishments during regular performance evaluations and feedback provided by the instructors as well as by the rewards of participating in the community performances. Program Evaluation will require two forms of assessments to ensure compliance with grant requirements are met, and to evaluate students' progress and outcomes in the community. Result findings will include accurate and complete data and demographics through proper intake and eligibility assessment, tracking of attendance and levels of participation in all program components, tracking of expenditures and staff time with appropriate source documentation. Programmatic outcomes are expected to include an increase in communication, team building and technical skills in visual and performing art, achievement of personal goals, self and body awareness and confidence and a strong commitment to respecting self and their community. Answers to Supplemental Questions: Question 1: Please describe any additional City of Santa Ana resources required for your project (permits, public space, licenses etc.) that you are required to obtain? There are no additional City of Santa Ana resources required to obtain for our project ALBI Page 2 of 4 Question 2: Is this a new or existing program/project? The proposed new program is an addition to the Active Learning and Hoover Elementary, with more opportunities to expand into the community. ALBI was created as a non-profit organization as an offshoot of Active Learning (AL), which was founded in 1999, with a vision to incorporate a sanctuary in the school setting that models healthy behaviors. Active Learning has served the Santa Ana Community for over 18 years providing arts enrichment education for the SAUSD after-school programs. ALBI was founded in response to the need to provide arts enrichment activities at no cost to Santa Ana youths. After working for years with low income families in the schools, it became evident that the schools cannot serve all children in need of additional guidance and enrichment activities. ALBI was created with the vision to make arts classes' accessible, fun, inspiring and educational beyond the school day. In an attempt to fulfill its vision, Active Learning partnered with Delhi Center in 2016 and 2017 to conduct a pilot Summer Enrichment Camp. Young artists completed daily activities that built their skill level, self-efficacy and worked towards a goal that they exceeded in fulfillment. Each participant surpassed the expectations and won over the audience in their final performance. Students were so affected by the experience of making positive relationships, building skills, self-confidence and bonding with their peers, that they have expressed an awakening need to attend more classes at Delhi Center but cannot afford to due to financial constraints. Question 3: How will the proposed project be presented or shared with the public? Will the art display, event or performance be free and accessible to the public? Arts events may be a source of pride for residents in their community, increasing their sense of connection to that community. Furthermore, we will be reserving time and space at the Downtown City of Santa Ana Art Walk. Our students' parents are so supportive and active in their child's life that parents will transport their kids to any of the free venues we schedule performances at. This will also raise the family's exposure to the wonderful sites throughout Santa Ana and offer more opportunities for the young artists to showcase what they learned through various free community events including SAUSD School Fair, Delhi center events and Active Learning's Party in the Park. Question 4: How will this project enrich the quality of life for Santa Ana residents? The proposed program focuses on quality youth engagement, enrichment and education during the summer with guiding experts who act as a positive influence on youth. Young artists will gain skill enrichment, self-expression, stress relief and socialization through meaningful activities that will be recognized and rewarded at culminating events throughout the community. This program will sustain healthy bonding with pro social adults and peers to expand opportunities for young Santa Ana artists. ALBI programs and teachers have been evaluated for effectiveness through classroom practiced lessons for youth with an emphasis in art expression. Students who participate in constructive arts based activities have an increase in cognitive skills, self-control, sense of belonging, and a sense of achievement; as well as increased discipline, stress relief and focus on goals for their future. The arts channel energy into positive quests for better education, stronger family life and rich community. Our programs provide a multitude of opportunities for Santa Ana youth to showcase a powerful personal voice that allows them to both assert their uniqueness and link to others. Artistic expression helps young people learn and improve communication skills through collaboration in both the visual and performing arts that provide a safe medium for practicing and rediscovering social interaction skills. Young artists will have the opportunities to have decision- making and problem -solving responsibilities and thus feel ownership of the program and an ALBI Page 3 of 4 impact on the community. Question 5: Describe how your project will stimulate economic development for the City of Santa Ana. During our fall and winter programs at the Delhi Center, we served a total of 120 students. Seventy-four percent of our participants classified as extremely low income, 24% very low income and 9% low income. Youths and teens living in the Delhi neighborhood qualify as at risk and underprivileged communities face cyclical challenges due to the lack of opportunities to gain insight and recognize their inner gifts in a safe environment. ALIBI will provide an artist in residency program at Hoover elementary by giving artists a chance to voice their creations in poetry, spoken word, song, dance and visual art. Furthermore, our young artists will discover community heroes and their impact in the community, which will inspire our students to become heroes too. ALIBI will provide support for young artists to showcase what they learned through various community events including DTSA Art Walk and connecting with local businesses to display the published book in their space. This will also bring awareness to local venues that support the arts throughout Santa Ana. Our students will enhance the community with powerful messages by sharing their published book throughout the city and through their contemporary performances. Moreover, ALIBI will offer Santa Ana residents job opportunities to use their artistic backgrounds to teach skills within our program. Currently, many of our teaching artists are Santa Ana residents who feel a sense of empowerment and importance to giving back in our community, especially teaching the arts for youth. ALIBI Page 4 of 4 ACTIVE LEARNING BELIEVE & INSPIRE (ALBI) A Published Compilation of Student's Visual Art and Poetry Based On Personal Community Heroes In Santa Ana. Program Design: The ALBI's summer 2019 program is designed to provide strategies and guidelines to increase the quantity and quality of Arts education. We offer safe, proper and unique activities for students ages 5-15. The separate components within the program provide essential goals to enlighten students about critical artistic appreciation. Through a range of creative classes, children learn to appreciate and explore, analyze and create visual art and poetry that have personal significance to future ambitions and goals. Throughout the j ourney, students learn to respect who they are now and imagine the person they will become. ALBI's program concentrates on efforts to ensure high-quality, personalized learning and instruction. Our research based, classroom practiced lessons, and structured schedules set our program apart from any other program. Within the core of the structure, students learn Arts standards intertwined with healthy messages for individuals, emotionally, physically and mentally. Our curriculum is divided into different classes based on the CA Arts Standards to ensure the appropriate developmental level for each grade is met and implemented through our structured classes. Students also achieve socialization skills by making friends and connecting with their teachers. By exploring analyzing and creating various poetry and visual works of art, students have something to look forward to as an emotional and creative outlet each day. Each hands-on learning class encompasses the development of English -Language skills as well as providing opportunities for children to explore, create and innovate their ideas through art. We make a significant impact on students within the 6 -week program in visual arts and poetry followed by vocal and performance art. By teaching meaningful lessons, our curriculum begins with the foundations and builds skills in visual arts and poetry then incorporates performing arts that are showcased at multiple culminating events throughout Santa Ana. Program Summary: Active Learning Believe and Inspire in partnership with the SAUSD will provide the opportunity for student's ages 6-15, to create visual art and poetry based on their own personal community superheroes. The varied pieces of artwork will be published and showcased throughout the city at several venues such as DTSA Art walk, culminating school performance, City Council Meetings, SAUSD Board Meetings, Santa Ana Public Libraries and local businesses. Students will spend a total of 6 weeks working with a teacher to develop visual art and poems. Each week they will be visited by various community heroes such as educators (teachers and principals) police officers, fire fighters, residents, community leaders and local artists within the city of Santa Ana. Students will then learn and create various pieces in written poetry and visual art to convey their personal heroes. At the end of the 6 weeks, the art and poetry pieces will be transformed into a published book and multiple copies will be displayed throughout Santa Ana. The winning poetry piece will be showcased through a song or spoken word and accompanied by a contemporary dance; while the winning art piece will become the cover of the book. Each student will receive their own copy. Details: The proposed component of poetry and visual art would be the role of ALBI's partnership with SAUSD. ALBI will provide a guest artist in residency at hoover Elementary to build in a creative writing and visual arts piece that will allow students to critically analyze and appreciate the arts on a much deeper level. ALBI will bring out Santa Ana community heroes to speak to students about their careers, goals and impact on our community. Various community heroes such as the principal, classroom teachers and local artists, will visit the students. Next the arts and poetry teacher will use the theme of the weekly community hero (i.e. safety, learning, artists, community, malting a difference, etc.) to guide a lesson plan in poetry and visual art that is aligned with the CA Arts Standards and developmentally appropriate for each student. Each class is constructed based on the developmentally appropriate needs of the students in elementary and intermediate grades. Activities are designed to enhance the implementation of the Arts Standards through active learning, practice, creation and performance of works in the arts. Students will also communicate about the arts by reflecting in thoughtful poetry one's observations, feelings and ideas about art in our community. Each hands-on learning class encompasses the development of English -Language skills as well as providing opportunities for children to explore, create and innovate their ideas through poetry and visual art exploration and designs. At the end of the 6 week poetry and visual art program, the student works of art will be compiled and sent into Classroom Authors to be published. Throughout the program the community hero's will have a time to judge the material and choose 2 winning pieces by the end of 6 weeks. The winning poetry piece will be showcased through a song or spoken word and accompanied by a contemporary dance; while the winning art piece will become the cover of the book and will be submitted to Classroom Authors to be published. The teacher will spend the remaining 10 days teaching students dance choreography to accompany the poetry through song or spoken word. Students will have a chance to showcase their efforts and the published book at various venues such as a culminating performance at school„ Downtown Santa Ana Art Walk, Santa Ana Library and other local business.

The impact of the partnership includes 1.)Helping students build community through the arts; 2.) exposing students to the arts in real-life settings and giving them access to local artists in the community 3.) emphasizing the value of art and art education and the viability as related to the creative economy and the economic impact of the arts thereon, and d.) cultivating engaged young artists to develop their own expressive voices. We recognize that our students have the opportunity to fuel the creative economy with one in 10 jobs being directly connected, and new jobs emerging that are not yet developed. We need to prepare our students to step into this important pipeline and can only do so through our critical partnerships with our community partners including Active Learning. As an arts equity district, SAUSD Is willing to support equitable access to high quality arts education. We support Active Learning's grant proposal and are excited to continue to work together as we build new programs, providing meaningful opportunities for our SAUSD students.

I have known Hiba since 2015 when she first contracted to teach visual and performing arts classes at Delhi Center. Hiba has been a tremendous resource since her first class and has provided countless hours of opportunities for artistic expression and enjoyment for residents of the Delhi neighborhood and the surrounding community. Hiba's classes were so successful that her original contract was expanded to include a summer day camp, which was first operated in the summer of 2016. She has added winter and spring camps to serve children during out-of-school hours, which is a critical time for children. Hiba has also consistently added new and creative components to her day camps and has a vision for generating excitement for the arts in children and their families. Her proposed project will provide an opportunity for camp participants to recognize their community heroes who make Santa Ana the great city it is today. Their work will be published to give them a sense of pride and to share their artistic endeavors. I am confident that ALBI's project will be an asset to Santa Ana residents who will benefit firorn increasing their engagement in the arts.

May. 1, 2018 To Whom it May Concern, This letter of recommendation is to support the ALBI summer program in partnership with Delhi Center. My daughter, Chanelle Marie and son, Kenneth Nathan Rodriguez were introduced to Active Learning programs back in 2016 for their partnership with the Delhi Center and their summer arts programming. Since the first day of program, my children were enthusiastic to return daily and were so sad when the program has ended. Each year we look forward to enrolling our children in these programs. Last year, when ALBI received funding to provide enrichment programs after school hours and during the winter break, I was the first to enroll my children in their arts infused camps, My children were overjoyed with excitement in multi -disciplinary arts activities and to perform at each culminating event. My son even won a place in the ALBI dance team and was able to perform in several community events throughout Santa Ana. Each year their culminating shows grow in audience members and ALBI continues on its efforts to bring families together to participate in all aspects of the shows. Parents help with prop design, or ALBI puts together family style dinners after the show. These experiences have not only brought our family closer together, but has really made me realize the talents my children and their friends have. To see my own children express themselves with such passion and enthusiasm has really impacted how I feel about the arts in our community. Having my children in the ALBI programs has opened up my families love for the arts in drawing, writing, singing, dancing and acting and opportunity to continue educating them. Due to several barriers, prior to being a part of ALBI's programs, we lacked the opportunities for art education. However, since we have actively been participating in ALBI's programs, as a family we are gaining more appreciation for the arts, able to be a part of strong community messages through the arts and finding more time to spend together through artistic activities. A few of the most memorable times are at the culminating shows both my children have performed at. This includes end of the summer Delhi camp performances, ALBI Peter Pan performance, Winter Dance camp performance and Party in the Park 5 at Memorial Park. The memories will last a lifetime. I never knew how talented both my children were and how the arts has impacted their ambitions and goals has inspired me as a parent. I give the highest recommendation for ALBI programs in support of meaningful arts education in Santa Ana. Feel free to contact me if you have any questions.
