The 11th Annual Merced County Children’s Summit is scheduled for Thursday, April 24th. Nomination forms for the Hands on Heroes Program are being accepted until 4:00 p.m March 14, 2014. Winners will be honored at the Children’s Summit. The Merced County Education Foundation is busy with its sponsorship of a new charter school with a focus on math, science, engineering, and technology. The Merced Adult School has been administering the new GED test since January 2014. Unfortunately, the availability of training material for preparing students for the test is limited. Throughout the state of California, Adult schools and community colleges will be forming regional consortia for providing adult education. The Merced Adult School will be part of the consortium that includes Chowchilla, Mariposa, and the County of Merced. The Youth Employment Opportunity Program of Employment Development Department (EDD) is focusing on providing workshops for youth. Some of those workshops include: resume building, interview preparation, social media for job hunting, and information on scholarships/FAFSA. Ms. Michelle Xiong, Youth Coordinator for Building Healthy Communities, invited Youth Council members to offer their thoughts for a proposal that will be submitted to the City of Merced for money from the city budget to be allotted towards youth and youth activities.

6. Presentations:

7. Action Items:

a. Youth Contracts Budget Modification Ratification: It was M/S/C McGarry/Walton to ratify the budget modification requests from the Merced County Office of Education for the In-School and Out-of-School Youth Contracts.

8. Discussion Items: a. Youth Council Member Recruitment: Ms. Jackie Walther-Parnell, Operations Officer for the

Department of Workforce Investment (WI), notified the council about a Finding from the state monitoring report regarding the Youth Council. It is a requirement for the Youth Council to have a parent of an eligible youth seeking services as a member of the council. The Council has been lacking a parent of an eligible youth and therefore, WI was give a Finding and must submit a corrective action plan by March 26th, 2014.

b. Youth Council Activities: Several ideas were discussed in regards to recognizing those businesses that support youth enrolled in the youth programs. An ad-hoc committee was formed to further discuss which option is going to be chosen.

TO: Youth Council DATE: 4/16/14 FROM: Youth Council Staff For Discussion For Action For Information SUBJECT: Youth Application 5% Exception PROPOSED MOTION(S): Accept the Department of Workforce Investment’s (WI) approval for a one-time use of the 5% Exception for Income Requirement for Youth Eligibility for the Out-of-School Youth contract with the Merced County Office of Education (MCOE) for WIA Application #1071100. DISCUSSION: On January 27, 2014 application #1071100 was completed for a customer by the Department of Workforce Investment, reviewed, and MCOE was notified that the customer was eligible for enrollment in the Out-of-School Youth Program (EMPOWER). It was later discovered that, because the customer was 18, the Adult criteria for income was used instead of the Youth criteria. By this time the customer had been enrolled and had already begun participation in the program. This customer met all other eligibility requirements for the program. Although the contract with MCOE does not allow the use of the WIA 5% Exception Rule for youth who do not meet the income requirement, this exception can be allowed under the law. Therefore it was determined that, rather than force the participant to drop out of the program, the 5% exception could be used. Due to the time between this issue and the next Youth Council meeting, this case was approved by the Department of Workforce Investment. ATTACHMENT(S): None

TO: Youth Council DATE: 04/16/14 FROM: Youth Council Staff For Discussion For Action For Information SUBJECT: Contract Options for Fiscal Year 2014-15 PROPOSED MOTION(S): That the Youth Council choose one of the two options for both In-School and Out-of-School Contract with Merced County Office of Education (MCOE) for fiscal year 2014-15.

5. Youth Opportunity Participant Success Story!

Kelly Vang – YOP Participant Attending Buhach Colony High School

Kelly Vang was a junior at Buhach Colony High School when she enrolled in the Youth Opportunity Program in October of 2012. She came into the program with the expectation of gaining working experience and was placed at CVS Pharmacy in Atwater. In June 2013, she successfully completed her work experience and sought additional opportunities to prepare her for a successful career and life. Her YOP Advisor, See Lee, referred Kelly, and other YOP participants, to submit an application to be a member of the 2013-2014 Junior Leadership Merced. They only had three days until the deadline! Junior Leadership Merced is a year-long youth leadership program for high school students that afford them the opportunity to learn about the

community and network with others. Of the three that submitted their applications, Kelly was selected to be a member of the Junior Leadership Merced, Class 10. She attended the monthly industry days and graduated from the program on March 27, 2014. She is grateful to be a part of the Youth Opportunity Program and to have had the experiences associated with Junior Leadership Merced. And, her parents are very proud of her accomplishments. Because of the successful experiences provided by the Youth Opportunity Program, Kelly now has aspirations to continue to serve her community.

C. Past Quarter Deficiencies:

have the opportunity to enroll throughout the year. We changed our procedures and

18


continued recruitment and enrollment efforts during the third quarter (the start of the

second semester) and will continue into the fourth quarter.

C. EMPOWER Success Story:

Adriane’s Success Story My name is Adriane Amieva and I began the Empower Program in July 2013. Coming up on a year now, I am nothing but grateful for everything I have received out of it. Debra has been there every step of the way, continuing to lead me in the right path. I started out doing the workshops Debbie offered, and they really helped me. One of them consisted of “Mock Interviews” which helped me in more ways than one. I was always so shy and nervous when it came to interviews and participating in that workshop helped me become more confident in myself. I can now say that interviews are something I am actually really good at. I have no one else to thank for that, besides Debra Perez.

I have always been very interested in working in an office. I realized that after working at Valley Community School as a student worker in 2011. I explained this to Debra and she suggested I look into the Adult ROP Computerized Office Technology (COT) classes. I am really glad I did and I have been enrolled in these classes since August 2013 and I am now certified in Microsoft Word 2010, Excel 2010, and PowerPoint 2010. I am close to being completed and earning my certificate of completion. Through the COT classes, I landed an internship at Valley Community School as an Office Clerk. I absolutely love working there and was so happy that I had the opportunity to, once again, be employed there. Debra was able to help me with proper office attire. I am very grateful for that as well. I recently finished up with my assigned internship hours and am now getting paid for work experience. Like I’ve said, I have no one else to thank for all this besides Ms. Perez. As of right now, my plans for the future are to finish up with my education and continue working in an office setting. I want to be able to continue helping people out, because when you love what you do, it’s not so much a job anymore, but a passion. I have had so much help through the Empower program. I hope to see the Youth Opportunity and Empower Program continue doing this for kids in need of assistance. I wouldn’t be where I’m at now without these programs and the help of Ms. Perez.
