THE BOOKS ARE MAILED DIRECTLY FROM THE DOLLYWOOD FOUNDATION ONCE A MONTH TO THE REGISTERED CHILDREN. IT IS OUR JOB TO PROMOTE THE PROGRAM AND ENROLL THE CHILDREN INTO THE BOOK DATABASE TO PROVIDE ACCURATE INFORMATION TO THE FOUNDATION. IT IS ALSO OUR DUTY TO FUNDRAISE FOR THE PROGRAM IN ORDER TO PAY AN ESTIMATED $2.10 PER BOOK. WE CURRENTLY HAVE 1400 CHILDREN ENROLLED LIVING WITHIN OUR SERVICE AREA (INCLUDING THE ZIP CODES: 55309, 55330, 55371, 55377, 55398). ART BRIGHT WE ADOPTED THIS EXISTING PROGRAM THAT HAD 8 YEARS OF PREVIOUS SUCCESS. THE PROGRAM IS GEARED TOWARDS THE MEMBERS OF THE COMMUNITY ENCOUNTERING MEMORY LOSS. THE FACILITATOR HELPS GUIDE A CONVERSATION THROUGH VISUAL ART PIECES BY ASKING OPEN ENDED QUESTIONS THE OFFER THE PARTICIPANTS AN OPPORTUNITY FOR MEMORY RECALL. THE SECOND PART OF THE SESSIONS ARE A HANDS-ON ART MAKING EXPERIENCE WHERE THE PARTICIPANTS USE THEIR OWN CREATIVITY TO PRODUCE AN ART PIECE THAT CORRESPONDS WITH THE GUIDED CONVERSATION. THE PROGRAM HELPS WITH MEMORY RECALL FOR THE PARTICIPANTS, BUT IT ALSO ACTS AS A RESPITE FOR THE CAREGIVERS. Cessation of or significant change to any program service Part III line 3 SCAUW DISCONTINUED THE IEMPOWER YOUTH PROGRAM. IT WAS A BEFORE AND AFTER SCHOOL PROGRAM THAT TAUGHT SOCIAL EMOTIONAL LEARNING TO SHY AND QUIET YOUTH. THE PROGRAM WAS VERY DIFFICULT TO CONTINUE DURING THE PANDEMIC. THE DISTANCE LEARNING AND THE CONTINUOUS TURMOIL CAUSED BY THE UNKNOWN OF THE PANDEMIC ADDED ADDITIONAL PRESSURE ON THE STUDENTS AND THE FACILITATORS, WHOM WERE EMPLOYEES OF THE SCHOOLS. IT WAS CHALLENGING TO FIND STUDENTS AND FACILITATORS THAT WERE INTERESTED IN TAKING PART OF THE PROGRAM DURING THE PANDEMIC. WE ALSO FOUND THAT MORE SCHOOLS WERE PRIORITIZING SOCIAL EMOTIONAL LEARNING SO WE KNEW THE PROGRAM WAS NO LONGER FILING A GAP THAT IT HAS PREVIOUSLY HAD. DUE TO THE ELIMINATION OF THIS PROGRAM, WE WERE ABLE TO START OUR IMAGINATION LIBRARY AFFILIATION. WE FOUND THIS TO BE BENEFICIAL DUE TO THE BROADER REACH OF THE NEW PROGRAM AND THE IMPACT IT WILL HAVE.
