Rotary Club: Escondido After Five Project Title: GED/HiSet Support 1. Describe the project. What was done, when and where did project activities take place? The After 5 Club issued a check to Escondido Education COMPACT for assistance to at risk youth with preparation for college including, financial aid preparation, application assistance, entrance exams preparation and fees, work readiness preparation including job interview training, paid work experience, mentoring and individualized tutoring services leading to high school equivalency/high school diploma obtainment. The Pandemic limited the amount of face to face interaction but we were still able to help through phone, text, zoom and limited visits. 2. How many people benefited from this project? At least 35 Youth Benefitted from the Project 3. Who were the beneficiaries, how were they impacted by this project, and what humanitarian need was met? Enrollment and case management of a dozen youth was funded by the program as well as paid tutoring sessions to prepare for exams. The Youth benefitted from the help to obtain their high school diplomas, register for college courses and obtaining employment to help support their families. The majority of the students helped this year live well below the poverty level and suffer from daily food insecurity. The assistance they received, allowed them to cope better physically and psychologically from the effects of the pandemic. 4. How many Rotarians participated in the project? Four Rotarians Actively Participated 5. What did they do? Please give at least two examples, not including financial support provided to the project. Rotarians provided mentoring support and participated in training sessions to learn how to detect mental health issues caused as a result of the pandemic and ensure that they were referred to competent resources for assistance. Covid-19 Training was also given to educate them on the best ways to stay safe and understand the consequences and effects of the virus, as informed by the CDC. Regular updates were provided to the club so members participated during club meetings. The pandemic made it impossible to physically participate in activities with the Youth. 6.
