Project Description Country: USA Location: Nampa, Idaho Total Budget: $10,225 Areas of Focus: Basic education and literacy, Community economic development Activity Type: Education: General Summary: Rotarians will deliver monthly educational sessions at various locations throughout the community to at-risk students from Breaking Chains Academy. Rotarians will deliver 8 monthly life skill sessions to students at Breaking Chains Academy at Risk youth in hopes that they understand and make a full commitment to citizenship and community engagement. Sessions will include: Personal finance & budgeting; Resume and job skill; higher education and how to pay for it; Vehicle maintenance; Grocery shopping & cooking; Leadership development, problem solving, and critical thinking; public speaking, communication skills and networking; understanding city government, engaging with community and safety officials, and community building and collaboration. We will use 8 (1/2 day) sessions at various locations in the community to educate, engage, and encourage 15 youth in the program. We will be transporting them via a Rental van to the various locations and providing breakfast and lunch. The students will each have an opportunity to take a Strength finders profile to understand their strengths. Each student who participates will receive $50 to start a checking/saving account, a tool kit for car maintenance, $25.00 to shop for groceries and an electronic tablet. The cohort will be expected to complete a service project at the end of the training with a budget of $500.00. The project will run September 2022-April 2023. The project is designed to allow students to learn more about interacting with community leaders and learning life skills at the same time assisting the community leaders and Rotarians to understand and interact with this often misunderstood community of youth.
