- PART III, LINE 4A: The goal for 2024 was to also provide 64 unique LAB sessions and instead we expanded our engagement by providing 68 sessions due to community demand. Beyond numbers, active engagement was evident with a commendable 80% attendance rate and a 100% completion rate during various challenging periods including Ramadan and summer sessions. The programs effectiveness is magnified by the positive outcomes reported by participants: -98% of girls reported an increased supportive community connection and sense of belonging.-100% mentioned an increase in opportunities leading to positive cultural identity development. -100% noticed an increase in their skills and confidence due participation in the program.-100% learned important skills they believe will aid in their future success.-100% reported an increase in communication skills facilitating healthier relationships and improved critical thinking. Participant feedback underscored the significance of our continuous quality improvement approach. Our mentors diligently incorporated participant feedback, affecting all steps of the program planning and implementation. Daily wellness check-ins and invitations to co-create aspects of the program cultivated a genuine sense of connection and trust. Highlighting our impact are the following comments from participants that affirm the programs welcoming and supportive environment: -Client LAB 94: I liked how the mentors are comforting and welcoming that really made me feel comfortable and also I liked that we had a lot of activities and fun. -When asked what to improve about the program, Client LAB 96 responded with: It should be longer than 8 weeks, highlighting a desire for extended engagement! -Client LAB 101: [I liked] learning about business because I want to have my own business. This [program] gave me a structure to start a business. -Client LAB 102 : When I go to LAB I feel included and respected. I like how understanding the group is and how nice they are. -Client LAB 116: I really liked the sense of community. I feel like everything clicked with one another and we found common interests. Everybody was from similar backgrounds which made it even more special and our bond strong.These testimonials are invaluable and speak directly to the inclusive environment fostered by our all BIPOC staffa place where young East African girls can feel represented and seen, which has been a key goal of the program. In summary, the LAB program has proven robust, with high recruitment and retention rates, and a clear, positive impact on its participants lives, making it a strong and highly valued part of our community. Our mentors persistent efforts using positive discipline strategies helped client 48, who initially struggled with emotional outbursts, significantly improve his emotional processing abilities. Furthermore, the students enthusiastically participated in various community-building activities, enhancing their appreciation of community-driven initiatives. On a heartwarming note, the deep impact the YCB program has had on students and their families extends beyond programming days. One such instance is reflected in our Program Coordinator experience outside of work at another community event, Over winter break I attended a kids event at my local Mosque. At the event they had a bouncy castle, popcorn machine, movies playing etc. Even though all these fun things were being offered, youth from the YCB program recognized me and came up to me to explain how much they missed the program and are excited to start again. Even though all these fun things were offered at the Mosque, the kids said they prefer the YCB program. This response underscore that the YCB program is more than leisure activities; it serves as a vital platform for connection and mentorship in the community.PART III, LINE 4B: While in the program, youth are provided with enrichment and team building opportunities while being engaged as leaders in the development of youth centered community building projects. An important aspect of the program is the Mindfulness Curriculum which serves to provide youth with a self care tool that helps them emotionally regulate and distress. In 2024 the YCB Program significantly enhanced its capacity to foster a safe, engaging, and inclusive environment for BIPOC students. We achieved this by providing our staff with continued positive discipline training and implementing a refreshed curriculum that championed student choice. We received a capacity building grant to develop work with a positive discipline consultant and ensure the content is positive discipline approved. One notable success of our program was the increase of returning students, highlighting the programs ability to foster meaningful engagement, build trust, and provide value that encourages continued participation.
