WE ARE ONE UNITED INC.
THIS AGREEMENT FOR CONTRACT SERVICES (“Agreement”) is made and entered
into on October 17, 2022, by and between the City of Palm Springs, a California charter city and
municipal corporation (“City”), and We Are One United Inc., a California public benefit

AGREEMENT
1. CONTRACTOR SERVICES
1.1 Scope of Services. In compliance with all terms and conditions of this
Agreement, Contractor shall provide services to City as described in the Scope of Services/Work
attached to this Agreement as Exhibit “A” and incorporated herein by reference (the “Services”
or “Work”). Exhibit "A" includes the agreed upon schedule of performance and the schedule of
fees. Contractor warrants that the Services shall be performed in a competent, professional, and
satisfactory manner consistent with the level of care and skill ordinarily exercised by high
quality, experienced, and well qualified members of the profession currently practicing under

of Services/Work and the terms set forth in this Agreement, the terms set forth in this Agreement
shall govern.
1.2 Compliance with Law. Contractor shall comply with all applicable federal,
state, and local laws, statutes and ordinances and all lawful orders, rules, and regulations when
performing the Services. Contractor shall be liable for all violations of such laws and regulations
in connection with the Services and this Agreement.
2
1.3 Licenses and Permits. Contractor shall obtain at its sole cost and expense such
licenses, permits, and approvals as may be required by law for the performance of the Services
required by this Agreement.
1.4 Familiarity with Work. By executing this Agreement, Contractor warrants that
it has carefully considered how the Work should be performed and fully understands the
facilities, difficulties, and restrictions attending performance of the Work under this Agreement.
2. TIME FOR COMPLETION
The time for completion of the Services to be performed by Contractor is an essential
condition of this Agreement. Contractor shall prosecute regularly and diligently the work of this
Agreement according to the agreed upon schedule of performance set forth in Exhibit “A.”
Neither Party shall be accountable for delays in performance caused by any condition beyond the
reasonable control and without the fault or negligence of the non-performing Party. Delays shall
not entitle Contractor to any additional compensation regardless of the Party responsible for the
delay.
3. COMPENSATION OF CONTRACTOR
3.1 Compensation of Contractor. Contractor shall be compensated and reimbursed
for the services rendered under this Agreement in accordance with the schedule of fees set forth
in Exhibit “A”. The total amount of Compensation shall not exceed $400,860.00 (four hundred

3.2 Method of Payment. In any month in which Contractor wishes to receive
payment, Contractor shall submit to City an invoice for Services rendered prior to the date of the
invoice, no later than the first working day of such month, in the form approved by City’s
finance director. Payments shall be based on the hourly rates set forth in Exhibit “A” for
authorized services performed. City shall pay Contractor for all expenses stated in the invoice
that are approved by City and consistent with this Agreement, within thirty (30) days of receipt

customarily furnished in accordance with generally accepted practice in Contractor’s profession.
3.4 Appropriations. This Agreement is subject to, and contingent upon, funds being

performed under the agreed upon schedule of performance set forth in Exhibit “A.” Any time
period extension must be approved in writing by the Contract Officer.
4.3 Force Majeure. The time for performance of Services to be rendered under this
Agreement may be extended because of any delays due to a Force Majeure Event, if Contractor
notifies the Contract Officer within ten (10) days of the commencement of the Force Majeure
Event. A Force Majeure Event shall mean an event that materially affects the Contractor’s
performance and is one or more of the following: (1) Acts of God or other natural disasters
occurring at the project site; (2) terrorism or other acts of a public enemy; (3) orders of
governmental authorities (including, without limitation, unreasonable and unforeseeable delay in
the issuance of permits or approvals by governmental authorities that are required for the Work);

and the extent of any necessary delay and extend the time for performing the Services for the
period of the enforced delay when and if, in the Contract Officer’s judgment, such delay is
justified. The Contract Officer’s determination shall be final and conclusive upon the Parties to
this Agreement. The Contractor will not receive an adjustment to the contract price or any other
compensation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the City may still terminate this Agreement in
accordance with the termination provisions of this Agreement.
4.4 Term. Unless earlier terminated in accordance with Section 4.5 of this
Agreement, this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect for a period of 6 months,
commencing on October 17, 2022, and ending on April 30, 2023, unless extended by mutual
written agreement of the Parties.
4.5 Termination Prior to Expiration of Term. City may terminate this Agreement
at any time, with or without cause, upon thirty (30) days written notice to Contractor. Where

safety, and general welfare, the period of notice shall be such shorter time as may be determined
by the City. Upon receipt of the notice of termination, Contractor shall immediately cease all
Services except such as may be specifically approved by the Contract Officer. Contractor shall
be entitled to compensation for all Services rendered prior to receipt of the notice of termination
and for any Services authorized by the Contract Officer after such notice. City shall not be liable
for any costs other than the charges or portions thereof which are specified herein. Contractor
shall not be entitled to payment for unperformed Services and shall not be entitled to damages or
compensation for termination of Work. If the termination is for cause, the City shall have the
right to take whatever steps it deems necessary to correct Contractor's deficiencies and charge the
cost thereof to Contractor, who shall be liable for the full cost of the City's corrective action.

5.6 California Labor Code Requirements.
A. Contractor is aware of the requirements of California Labor Code Sections
1720 et seq. and 1770 et seq., which require the payment of prevailing wage rates and the
performance of other requirements on certain “public works” and “maintenance” projects
(“Prevailing Wage Laws”). If the Services are being performed as part of an applicable “public
works” or “maintenance” project, as defined by the Prevailing Wage Laws, and if the total
compensation is $15,000 or more for maintenance or $25,000 or more for construction,
alteration, demolition, installation, or repair, Contractor agrees to fully comply with such
Prevailing Wage Laws. Contractor shall defend, indemnify and hold the City, its officials,
officers, employees and agents free and harmless from any claims, liabilities, costs, penalties or
interest arising out of any failure or alleged failure to comply with the Prevailing Wage Laws. It
shall be mandatory upon the Contractor and all subcontractors to comply with all California
Labor Code provisions, which include but are not limited to prevailing wages (Labor Code
Sections 1771, 1774 and 1775), employment of apprentices (Labor Code Section 1777.5),
certified payroll records (Labor Code Sections 1771.4 and 1776), hours of labor (Labor Code
Sections 1813 and 1815) and debarment of contractors and subcontractors (Labor Code Section
1777.1).
B. If the Services are being performed as part of an applicable “public works”
or “maintenance” project and if the total compensation is $15,000 or more for maintenance or
$25,000 or more for construction, alteration, demolition, installation, or repair, then pursuant to
Labor Code Sections 1725.5 and 1771.1, the Contractor and all subcontractors performing such
Services must be registered with the Department of Industrial Relations. Contractor shall
maintain registration for the duration of the Project and require the same of any subcontractors,
as applicable. This Agreement may also be subject to compliance monitoring and enforcement
by the Department of Industrial Relations. It shall be Contractor’s sole responsibility to comply
with all applicable registration and labor compliance requirements.

6. INSURANCE
Contractor shall procure and maintain, at its sole cost and expense, policies of insurance
as set forth in the attached Exhibit "B", incorporated herein by reference.
7. INDEMNIFICATION.
7.1 Indemnification. To the fullest extent permitted by law, Contractor shall
defend (at Contractor’s sole cost and expense), indemnify, protect, and hold harmless City, its
elected officials, officers, employees, agents, and volunteers (collectively the “Indemnified
Parties”), from and against any and all liabilities, actions, suits, claims, demands, losses, costs,
judgments, arbitration awards, settlements, damages, demands, orders, penalties, and expenses
including legal costs and attorney fees (collectively “Claims”), including but not limited to
Claims arising from injuries to or death of persons (Contractor’s employees included), for
damage to property, including property owned by City, for any violation of any federal, state, or
local law or ordinance or in any manner arising out of, pertaining to, or incident to any acts,
errors or omissions, or willful misconduct committed by Contractor, its officers, employees,
representatives, and agents, that arise out of or relate to Contractor’s performance of Services or
this Agreement. This indemnification clause excludes Claims arising from the sole negligence or
willful misconduct of the Indemnified Parties. Under no circumstances shall the insurance
requirements and limits set forth in this Agreement be construed to limit Contractor’s
indemnification obligation or other liability under this Agreement. Contractor’s indemnification
obligation shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Agreement until all actions
against the Indemnified Parties for such matters indemnified are fully and finally barred by the
applicable statute of limitations or, if an action is timely filed, until such action is final.
7.2 Design Professional Services Indemnification and Reimbursement. If
Contractor’s obligation to defend, indemnify, and/or hold harmless arises out of Contractor’s
performance as a “design professional” (as that term is defined under Civil Code section 2782.8),
then, and only to the extent required by Civil Code section 2782.8, which is fully incorporated
herein, Contractor’s indemnification obligation shall be limited to the extent which the Claims
arise out of, pertain to, or relate to the negligence, recklessness, or willful misconduct of the
Contractor in the performance of the Services or this Agreement, and, upon Contractor obtaining
a final adjudication by a court of competent jurisdiction, Contractor’s liability for such claim,
including the cost to defend, shall not exceed the Contractor’s proportionate percentage of fault.
8. RECORDS AND REPORTS
8.1 Reports. Contractor shall periodically prepare and submit to the Contract Officer
reports concerning the performance of the Services required by this Agreement, or as the
Contract Officer shall require.
8.2 Records. Contractor shall keep complete, accurate, and detailed accounts of all
time, costs, expenses, and expenditures pertaining in any way to this Agreement. Contractor
shall keep such books and records as shall be necessary to properly perform the Services
required by this Agreement and enable the Contract Officer to evaluate the performance of such
Services. The Contract Officer shall have full and free access to such books and records at all
7
reasonable times, including the right to inspect, copy, audit, and make records and transcripts
from such records.
8.3 Ownership of Documents. All drawings, specifications, reports, records,
documents, and other materials prepared by Contractor in the performance of this Agreement
shall be the property of City. Contractor shall deliver all above-referenced documents to City
upon request of the Contract Officer or upon the termination of this Agreement. Contractor shall
have no claim for further employment or additional compensation as a result of the exercise by
City of its full rights or ownership of the documents and materials. Contractor may retain copies
of such documents for Contractor's own use. Contractor shall have an unrestricted right to use
the concepts embodied in such documents.
8.4 Release of Documents. All drawings, specifications, reports, records,
documents, and other materials prepared by Contractor in the performance of Services under this
Agreement shall not be released publicly without the prior written approval of the Contract
Officer.
8.5 Audit and Inspection of Records. After receipt of reasonable notice and during
the regular business hours of City, Contractor shall provide City, or other agents of City, such
access to Contractor’s books, records, payroll documents, and facilities as City deems necessary
to examine, copy, audit, and inspect all accounting books, records, work data, documents, and
activities directly related to Contractor’s performance under this Agreement. Contractor shall
maintain such books, records, data, and documents in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles and shall clearly identify and make such items readily accessible to such
parties during the term of this Agreement and for a period of three (3) years from the date of
final payment by City hereunder.

8
No consent or approval of City shall be deemed to waive or render unnecessary City’s consent to

be in writing. No such waiver shall be a waiver of any other default concerning the same or any
other provision of this Agreement.
9.4 Rights and Remedies are Cumulative. Except with respect to rights and
remedies expressly declared to be exclusive in this Agreement, the rights and remedies of the

1. Executive Summary
We Are One United is requesting financial support from the City of Palm Springs to provide startup
funding for the United for Safe Youth Initiative. While we have been awarded a grant of $2.1 million,
these funds are awarded as a matching grant and require We Are One United to expend the funds to run
our program and submit invoices for reimbursement. Therefore, we are requesting support in the
amount of $400,860 (please see attached Support Request budget and CAL VIP Budgets for details) to
ensure we can begin full operations immediately. Our strategy to obtain the remaining funding to fulfill
the match will include existing grants, revenues from our social enterprise projects, in-kind donations
and volunteer hours, robust fundraising activities, and seeking additional grant funding opportunities.
We Are One United Inc. (WAOU) is committed to an overall impact of community wellbeing to address
community level risks including high barriers to economic opportunities, concentrations of residents
living in poverty, family disruption, low levels of community participation, and socially disorganized
neighborhoods. WAOU will work to elevate underserved and underrepresented communities in Palm
Springs by strengthening individual-level protective factors in our high-risk target population, such as
changing youth attitudes to be intolerant, helping youth to achieve academic success, and providing
opportunities to explore educational aspirations. In addition, WAOU will support youth to develop a
positive social orientation, including problem solving skills, a sense of self confidence in facing future
conflicts, and increased prosocial connections through positive activities to build social skills and career
competencies, including highly developed skills for thoughtful planning and goal setting.
We Are One United is implementing the United for Safe Youth Initiative, a comprehensive, holistic
approach to tackling violence prevention and reduction in the District One area of Palm Springs
acknowledging the complexity and nuance of working with at-risk youth and in a divided community.
We will employ a three-phase strategy of: violence mitigation, mentoring youth and young adults for
work or college, and encouraging youth to become community leaders and advocates.
In the mitigation phase, we address the immediate conflict between opposing street gangs through a
program that trains and deploys credible messengers from the community to defuse crises and promote
peace and healing. In this way, WAOU, will follow the example of other successful street outreach
models, such as Cure Violence, (Cure Violence) which utilizes culturally competent staff who respond to
and stop the spread of violence by (1) detecting and interrupting violence through conflict mediation
and direct community outreach; (2) identifying and building relationships with youth that pose the
highest risk and working with them to change behaviors or by connecting them to critical services, such
as mental health treatment, job training, or drug treatment; (3) mobilizing the community they live in to
respond to violence by engaging residents, local businesses, faith leaders and service providers to
promote the use of non-violent approaches to conflict resolution and spread messages of prosperity for
all, equity, peace, and healing.
At the same time, the mentoring phase of our process is offering curated services including mental
health counseling, that will address the underlying social, emotional, and cultural factors that contribute
to environments that allow youth gang activity to flourish. We will focus on providing youth with after-
school programming to develop the habits and transferable skills that will prepare them for college and
job training programs. This phase is supported in part by funding we are receiving from the Regional
Revised 2.9.22 Page 16 of 25
Access Project Foundation and others and is projected to become an ongoing resource beyond the 30-
month term of the VIP grant program.
In our Economic Development phase WAOU will be working with youth and families that lack the
educational and economic resources that they need to identify and prepare to take advantage of
opportunities for better jobs, for starting their own businesses, and for becoming more successful
contributors to the welfare of their families and the growth of their communities. Using our social
enterprise employment model, we will work with focus groups throughout the North Palm Springs
communities to identify economic development opportunities, design strategies that increase
community engagement and jobs, and increase investment and sustainability for the region. We believe
that we can create over 90 jobs through initiatives that fill in gaps in services like childcare and work
with partners like ESRI to bring jobs centered on innovation and technology. We look forward to working
with academic partners including University of California, Riverside, California State University, San
Bernardino and College of the Desert to do research, create internship opportunities, and build capacity
for community-based organizations as well. We are building relationships with organizations like Rotary
to leverage support that can help identify and build networks that will be valuable for upcoming
professionals and help us reach more supporters and donors for our work. We will be having business
clinics, mixers, and job fairs that bring employers and candidates together and that encourage people to
work together to improve their attractiveness to new investors and funders.
The third phase of the project includes WAOU’s Leave a Legacy Leadership Challenge - a one-year
program that prepares youth who have shown promise in WAOU’s other programs and willingness to
overcome challenges, to become leaders and agents of change in their community. A combination of
rigorous leadership training and a capstone project that tackles a social problem through social
entrepreneurship, WAOU’s Leadership Challenge gives youth the skills, knowledge, and practical
experience to become changemakers that continue the important work of uplifting and amplifying
impact within and for their community.

4. Program Details
Phase 1 - Street Outreach & Mentoring delivered by Community Messengers
We Are One United (WAOU) in conjunction with the Desert Highland Gateway Estates and East San
Rafael Communities, will create a Street Outreach Team of Community Restoration Specialists, a
coalition of crisis-diffusers & violence-interrupters, utilizing evidence-based approaches to reduce the
violence that has been on the rise over the past two and a half years (PSPD).
Youth violence has tragic aftershocks that ripple through communities affecting parents, siblings,
friends, and extended family. WAOU will focus on the peacemakers and advocates in our community -
the ordinary men and women that do the hard work everyday to raise their children and build wealth
for future generations. By utilizing entrenched members of the community as Community Restoration
Specialists, WAOU will remunerate community leaders by providing them with training and stipends for
the work that they do every day. In this way, we will show that we value community members expertise
and commitment by putting money directly back into the community while providing valuable training
in conflict mediation, conflict resolution, mentoring and youth outreach skills. These individuals will not
only be a bridge between WAOU and the community, but they will also be instrumental in recruiting
other like-minded individuals to advance the programs of WAOU. There are several cities throughout
the country that utilize street teams in their approach to ending violence in cities. Daniel Mallory, Life
Coach in Indianapolis explains the importance of street teams, “I think it’s important and imperative that
we have these teams…one person can’t do it alone. It takes a village." (Gay)
WAOU will lead the process of identifying and training the community members and advocates that are
our integral partners in this initiative. We will be working directly with community advocates such as
Deiter Crawford, a 3rd generation resident of the Desert Highland Gateway Estates Community, and
Founder of Urban Palm Springs, a community outreach consultancy firm. WAOU will also partner with
DeAztlan Consulting, a fully bilingual firm that has worked door to door in the East San Rafael
Revised 2.9.22 Page 18 of 25
neighborhoods and has contracted with the City of Palm Springs on the issue of enhancing and growing
Latino outreach. Finally, we will be working with Edwin Ramoran, co-founder of Bayanihan Desert - a
cultural center in the Coachella Valley dedicated to bringing Filipinos together and connecting with
communities of color through public programs and civic engagement. Working with these firms ensures
that the messaging for all stakeholders - police, media, residents, faith-based organizations, schools,
CBOs, and youth is effective and accurate throughout the entirety of the program. Our efforts to engage
individuals who were formerly involved in gang life is a strategy used by many programs to create
camaraderie. As stated in Developing a Successful Street Outreach Program: Recommendations and
Lessons Learned, “many street outreach programs hire outreach workers with direct experience with
gangs and/or street violence. Workers with street experience have unique insight into what attracts
youth to negative life choices and can serve as role models to at-risk and gang-involved youth.” (Street
Outreach, Richmond) By including these individuals previously impacted by violence, including system
impacted and/or formerly/currently system-involved individuals in our plan, our clients will be more
likely to engage in our programs because they will be able to interact with someone who comes from
their community, has been where they are, and has made a positive life change.
Phase 2 - Job Training, Mental Health & Wellness, Youth Programming
WAOU’s job training program addresses a gap in access to educational opportunities and training for at-
risk youth that need pathways to in-demand and high paying jobs. Historically, African American and
Latino students are underrepresented in the college majors that have the highest labor market returns
such as engineering or computer science (Public Policy Institute). 80% of high school seniors in the
Coachella Valley do not enroll in 4-year universities due to its geographic isolation. We are guided by the
principles that to erase violence, we need to substitute productivity and we are not just training young
people for jobs, we are helping them to execute their calling.
WAOU’s program increases “hireability” and employability by offering a curriculum that is rooted in
industry standards and provides transferable and highly marketable skills. There are multiple examples
of this model of workforce development program in the United States that have found success by
combining work readiness training, mentoring, coaching, paid internships/work experience and job
placement. For example, Year Up and Per Scholas with locations nationally and Project Quest in San
Antonio (Nelson, NY Times). After a thorough assessment of strengths, areas of improvement, barriers
to success, skills and interests, the participant’s bespoke prescription for success is generated. The core
pillars of our holistic program include:
Practical Skills: Students will be connected to apprenticeships, certificate programs, and associate
degree programs for in-demand jobs in healthcare, advanced manufacturing and trades, cybersecurity,
and information technology.
Life Skills: Practical skills will be enhanced by a life skills curriculum and coursework, provided by WAOU,
with a focus on producing critical thinkers that are resilient, creative, collaborative, and adept at
communicating efficiently and effectively. The life skills program will include courses in topics such as -
critical thinking, problem solving, empathy, emotional intelligence, career readiness (writing a resume,
interview skills, effective communication, networking), team dynamics, business acumen,
entrepreneurial mindset, leadership, time management, and discipline.
Revised 2.9.22 Page 19 of 25
Mentoring: Participants in the program will be able to connect one-on-one with a personal mentor to
set goals, receive guidance on topics spanning career, education options, and personal growth. WAOU
plans to schedule a speaker series with community leaders, entrepreneurs, and thought leaders to
introduce them to varying pathways and to broaden their career and prospects.
Internships/Apprenticeships: WAOU will create robust industry partnerships to connect youth to paid
apprenticeships and internships. In this way, young people in the program will be able to gain hands-on
paid work experience that will prepare them for the post pandemic world and the ever-changing world
of work.
Job Placements & Alumni Program: Internships and apprenticeships ease and open pathways to full-
time work, and WAOU will help our participants navigate this transition by connecting program
participants with job placements. WAOU will create a robust alumni network to ensure sustainability of
the program and to maintain a steady pipeline of future mentors, coaches, supporters, and industry
partners. We will integrate our workforce development programs in the community to help create
employment and business opportunities that have been proven in high violence communities to be the
solution in violence reduction and long-term community transformation. We will be increasing the
number of jobs in the community and promoting careers and services that support the needs of those
most impacted by COVID, technology, and changes in the economy
Mental Health/Wellness/Youth Programming
Youth clients and their families will engage in psychosocial education to gain an increased understanding
of key components and features of client’s challenges and strengths. Clients will work with intervention
specialists to connect with mental health programs, and families will be educated on the current state of
the client until licensed professionals or psychiatric resources and community-based support services
will take over the case. Intervention specialists will focus on using positive language, reframing hope,
appreciation and gratefulness as victims and staff build supportive listening skills. Through collaboration
with organizations such as the Palm Springs Boys and Girls Club and the City of Palm Springs Parks &
Recreation Department, we will augment afterschool programs by providing expanded afterschool
activities, extended hour weekday and weekend recreation opportunities including a media and music
studio, STEAM, VR experiences, and gaming tournaments in a safe space. Additionally, activities such as
spoken word, book clubs, motivational speakers, field trips, and music and arts will add cultural
enrichment to our programming.
Virtual Cafes and forums will facilitate discussion of important issues in the community, and we will be
convening mixers that invite people from different communities to come together in a space where they
can build relationships and share aspirations. add counseling, activities and group discussions that will
be an integral part of addressing the trauma and criminal legacy experienced by those impacted by
juvenile gang activities. Our programming will include mental health specialists, trained coaches, and
health and wellness practitioners to teach mindfulness, stress management and resilience.
Phase 3 – Leave a Legacy Leadership Challenge
WAOU’s Leave a Legacy Leadership Challenge is a one-year program that uplifts youth who have shown
promise in WAOU’s other programs and willingness to overcome challenges, to turn their passion for
community into becoming leaders and agents of change. This program is a sustainable solution to
Revised 2.9.22 Page 20 of 25
creating long-lasting viable change within the community by creating a pipeline of future leaders and
advocates that will continue the work for future generations.
WAOU’s Leadership Challenge will combine intensive leadership training in classes such as project
management, public speaking, conflict mediation, professional networking, business writing, multimedia
skills, event planning, evaluating impact, and cultural identity with a yearlong capstone project that will
focus on creating a social enterprise to address a social problem faced by the community. Students will
also be able to practically apply their knowledge with paid internships at We Are One United or other
CBOs working on the forefront of social, economic, and environmental justice issues.
Our goal is to create an economic development mindset within the community. By providing access to
tools, mentoring, and coaching the beneficiaries of our programs will be able to engage in the creation
of opportunities for the community. These opportunities would include starting worker-owned
businesses (such as childcare centers, barber and beauty salons, restaurants, etc.), investing in a credit
union, and creating a supermarket.

PPHASE 1 – Youth Development
In the Phase 1 you describe it would be helpful for us to know what the people receiving the
stipends will be doing, the goals of those activities and how that can be measured.
ACTIVITIES
The Community Resource Specialists (CRS) will be members of the community, college interns,
and opportunity youth performing a variety of duties that relate to the grant including:
recruiting youth, community outreach, asset and access mapping, program support, training,
and coaching and mentoring.
The goals for these activities would include youth development, violence reduction, seeking
mental health assistance, developing conflict resolution and anger management skills, peer to
peer support, and positive role modeling.
NUMBER OF PEOPLE SERVED
We are expecting to hire 30 CRS each year at a rate of $20 -$25 in year one and review
performance and retention based on assignment and availability after year one. Hourly rates

program will receive coaching support for 12 months and have quarterly job club check-ins to
share their experiences and discuss opportunities and issues with their peers.
YOUTH APPRENTICESHIPS
We also have an initiative to partner with local labor to provide a youth apprenticeship
program. These apprenticeships help us ensure stronger communities by building a more
inclusive economy with affordable, reliable, and equitable pathways from high school to good
jobs and college degrees. Apprenticeships connect the learning needs of students with the
talent needs of an industry. This program initiative will support efforts to expand access to high-
quality apprenticeship opportunities for high school age youth by:
x Improving public awareness of high-quality youth apprenticeship and advancing
understanding of how well such programs serve students, employers, and communities.
x Disseminating better information about the conditions and strategies necessary for success
and sustainability of youth apprenticeship partnerships.

RREPORTING
Monthly reports for each of our programs are required to ensure our Board, our funders, and
the community are well-informed about the progress of our programs, any significant issues
and any unexpected opportunities. These reports containing key milestones and customer
feedback are available for distribution to our stakeholders on request and will be regularly
forwarded to those who request them.
INVOICING AND FINANCING
Since this project has funding from multiple sources, we use a detailed cost allocation
accounting procedure to identify and track our expenses so that funds allocated for a project
are properly reported to each of our funders. Projects are assigned a code that makes it easy to
classify which dollars are used on which activities. We have a professional accountant that
prepares our monthly financial statements and detail reports. We are required to be audited
and have identified a CPA firm that will work with us and our accountant to ensure we comply
with all GAAP and contract requirements.
