THE EMILY KRZYZEWSKI CENTER, A NONPROFIT ORGANIZATION IN DURHAM, NORTH CAROLINA, IMPLEMENTS FOUR DISTINCT PROGRAMS DESIGNED TO BUILD ON THE ACADEMIC, CAREER, AND LEADERSHIP POTENTIAL OF STUDENTS WHO ARE TRADITIONALLY UNDERREPRESENTED IN HIGHER EDUCATION. COLLECTIVELY, OUR PROGRAMS SERVE STUDENTS FROM ELEMENTARY SCHOOL THROUGH COLLEGE AND EQUIP THEM WITH THE SKILLS NECESSARY TO SUCCESSFULLY COMPLETE HIGHER EDUCATION, CONNECT TO PROMISING CAREERS, AND BECOME AGENTS OF CHANGE WITHIN THEIR COMMUNITIES. WE AMPLIFY OUR EFFORTS THROUGH PARTNERSHIPS WITH OUR LOCAL SCHOOL DISTRICT, COMMUNITY-BASED ORGANIZATIONS, AND UNIVERSITIES. 0 0 1552278 13283 THE CENTER OPERATES FOUR PROGRAMS THAT ARE ALL ALIGNED WITH THE GOAL OF PROVIDING ACADEMIC SUPPORT, COLLEGE READINESS AND COLLEGE COMPLETION SUPPORT FOR STUDENTS WHO FACE THE MOST PRONOUNCED BARRIERS TO SUCCESSFULLY NAVIGATING AND COMPLETING HIGHER EDUCATION. OUR THREE ENROLLMENT-BASED K TO COLLEGE PROGRAMS ARE DESCRIBED BELOW.THE PIONEER SCHOLARS PROGRAM ENSURES THAT OUR ELEMENTARY AND MIDDLE SCHOOL STUDENTS ARE BUILDING THEIR ACADEMIC AND PERSONAL LEADERSHIP SKILLS, ACHIEVING IN SCHOOL, AND LAYING THE FOUNDATION FOR FUTURE COLLEGE SUCCESS. DURING THE 2021-22 ACADEMIC YEAR, A TOTAL OF 76 STUDENTS PARTICIPATED IN THE PIONEER SCHOLARS, INCLUDING 35 ELEMENTARY STUDENTS AND 41 MIDDLE SCHOOL STUDENTS. THE PROGRAM OPERATED IN PERSON FIVE DAYS PER WEEK FOR AN AVERAGE OF 7.5 HOURS PER WEEK OF INSTRUCTIONAL TIME, PLUS AN ADDITIONAL 7.5 HOURS PER WEEK FOR PRE-PROGRAMMING ACTIVITIES, INCLUDING PHYSICAL RECREATION AND HOMEWORK ASSISTANCE. IN A WIDESPREAD ENVIRONMENT OF LEARNING LOSS, OUR SCHOLARS DEMONSTRATED MODEST LEARNING GAINS AND ENDED THE YEAR ABOVE STATE METRICS FOR THEIR DEMOGRAPHIC: FOR STUDENTS IN GRADES 3-8, 55% MET OR EXCEEDED STATEWIDE READING BENCHMARKS AND 64% MET OR EXCEEDED MATH BENCHMARKS. ADDITIONALLY, IN AN EFFORT TO STEM SUMMER LEARNING LOSS, THE PIONEER SCHOLARS PROGRAM ALSO OPERATED A THREE-WEEK SUMMER SCHOLARS PROGRAM. FIFTY STUDENTS ATTENDED SUMMER SCHOLARS AND COMPLETED A TOTAL OF 84 HOURS OF IN-PERSON, PROJECT-BASED ACADEMIC ENRICHMENT AND SKILL-BUILDING DESIGNED TO ENSURE THEIR READINESS FOR THE YEAR AHEAD. LASTLY, IN ADDITION TO ACADEMIC ENRICHMENT AND SUPPORT, ALL STUDENTS BENEFITED FROM THE INTEGRATION OF SOCIO-EMOTIONAL LEARNING INTO PROGRAMMING. THESE ACTIVITIES WERE DESIGNED TO PROACTIVELY BUILD STUDENTS' ABILITY TO MANAGE EMOTIONS, COPE WITH STRESS AND PROBLEM-SOLVE. ADDITIONALLY, 14% OF STUDENTS RECEIVED TARGETED INDIVIDUALIZED SUPPORT OR INTERVENTIONS TO ADDRESS SPECIFIC SOCIO-EMOTIONAL CHALLENGES.THE SCHOLARS TO COLLEGE PROGRAM IS DESIGNED TO ASSIST HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS WHO FACE BARRIERS TO HIGHER EDUCATION TO SUCCEED ACADEMICALLY AND PERSONALLY, GRADUATING FROM HIGH SCHOOL SCHOLARSHIP-ELIGIBLE AND COLLEGE-READY. THIS YEAR, OUR 112 ENROLLED HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS PARTICIPATED IN AN AVERAGE OF UP TO 5.5 HOURS OF WEEKLY CURRICULUM-BASED INSTRUCTION, INDIVIDUALIZED ACADEMIC COACHING AND COLLEGE ADVISING, 1:1 TUTORING, STANDARDIZED TEST PREPARATION, COLLEGE VISITS, LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT AND CULTURAL ENRICHMENT ACTIVITIES. ADDITIONALLY, STUDENTS ATTENDED A ONE OR TWO WEEK SUMMER "BOOT CAMP" TOTALING AN AVERAGE OF 15 HOURS OF DIRECT INSTRUCTION. OUR JUNIORS IN THE CLASS OF 2023 PARTICIPATED IN 12 HOURS OF ACT TEST PREP. AS A RESULT OF THIS INTERVENTION, OUR SCHOLARS DEMONSTRATED A 188% INCREASE IN THEIR SCORES, AND 87% OF OUR SCHOLARS DEMONSTRATED PROFICIENCY, AS COMPARED WITH THE LOCAL DISTRICT PROFICIENCY RATE OF 38%. 100% OF OUR HIGH SCHOOL SENIORS GRADUATED HIGH SCHOOL ON TIME, AND THIS GROUP OF 27 SENIORS EARNED 135 COLLEGE ACCEPTANCES TO 53 COLLEGES. THE MAJORITY (78%) OF THEIR COLLEGE COSTS ARE COVERED BY GIFT AID. FINALLY, SOCIOEMOTIONAL LEARNING EMBEDDED INTO SCHOLARS TO COLLEGE PROGRAMMING INCLUDED SETTING HEALTHY BOUNDARIES, GOAL SETTING, COPING WITH STRESS AND ANXIETY, DEFINING AND SOLVING PROBLEMS, MANAGING YOUR EMOTIONS, AND MANAGING FINANCIAL AND SCHOOL DECISIONS. 19% OF STUDENTS IN THIS PROGRAM RECEIVED 1:1 SOCIO-EMOTIONAL SUPPORT TO ASSIST THEM IN OVERCOMING SPECIFIC CHALLENGES.THE SCHOLARS ON CAMPUS PROGRAM ENSURES THAT STUDENTS WHO COMPLETE THE SCHOLARS TO COLLEGE PROGRAM AND OPT TO CONTINUE IN OUR COLLEGE COMPLETION PROGRAM SUCCESSFULLY TRANSITION TO AND COMPLETE HIGHER EDUCATION BY SUPPORTING THEIR DEVELOPMENT IN THE AREAS OF ACADEMIC AND CAMPUS ENGAGEMENT, CAREER DEVELOPMENT, AND FINANCIAL RESPONSIBILITY THROUGH A ROBUST ADVISING AND SUPPORT MODEL. THIS YEAR, 110 SCHOLARS ON CAMPUS STUDENTS, WHO ARE IN THEIR FIRST THROUGH SIXTH YEAR OF COLLEGE, PARTICIPATED IN PRE-COLLEGE TRANSITION PROGRAMMING, CAPACITY-BUILDING WORKSHOPS, INDIVIDUALIZED ADVISING AND COACHING, CAMPUS VISITS AND PROFESSIONAL MENTORING. FIRST YEAR PERSISTENCE RATES FOR SCHOLARS ON CAMPUS STUDENTS WAS 92%, AND THE SIX YEAR COMPLETION RATE WAS 80%, IN CONTRAST TO 55% FOR STUDENTS ACROSS THE NATION. 301151 THE EMILY K CENTER'S GAME PLAN: COLLEGE PROGRAM PROVIDES POST-SECONDARY INFORMATION, ADVISING AND SUPPORT TO HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS IN DURHAM THROUGH STRONG PARTNERSHIPS WITH OUR LOCAL SCHOOL DISTRICT AS WELL AS LOCAL COMMUNITY BASED ORGANIZATIONS. THROUGH THIS PROGRAM, WE ARE ABLE TO CONTRIBUTE TO BOTH THE DISTRICT'S AND THE CENTER'S SHARED GOAL OF ENSURING THAT ALL STUDENTS HAVE EQUITABLE ACCESS TO THE INFORMATION AND SUPPORT THEY NEED TO PURSUE THEIR POSTSECONDARY GOALS. STUDENTS WHO WILL BE THE FIRST IN THEIR FAMILY TO ATTEND COLLEGE, WHO COME FROM LOW INCOME FAMILY BACKGROUNDS, AND WHO ARE MEMBERS OF RACIAL/ETHNIC GROUPS THAT ARE UNDER-REPRESENTED IN HIGHER EDUCATION ARE THE TARGET POPULATION FOR THIS PROGRAM, ALTHOUGH ANY STUDENT WHO RESIDES IN DURHAM AND/OR ATTENDS A DURHAM PUBLIC SCHOOLS HIGH SCHOOL CAN ACCESS THE SERVICES.THIS YEAR, THE GAME PLAN: COLLEGE PROGRAM SERVED 1,604 STUDENTS THROUGH THE DELIVERY OF 69 CURRICULUM-BASED WORKSHOPS, 26 SPECIAL EVENTS OR INITIATIVES AND FIVE COLLEGE VISITS. AS A RESULT OF PARTICIPATING IN COLLEGE ACCESS WORKSHOPS, STUDENTS REPORTED A 42% INCREASE IN KNOWLEDGE GAINED ABOUT THE COLLEGE ACCESS TOPIC PRESENTED. ADDITIONALLY, OUR GAME PLAN: COLLEGE TEAM MET THE POST-SECONDARY PLANNING NEEDS OF HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS THROUGH THE DELIVERY OF 234 1:1 ADVISING SESSIONS TO 155 STUDENTS. THESE SESSIONS SUPPORTED STUDENTS TO MOVE FORWARD IN THEIR POST-SECONDARY EXPLORATION, PLANNING AND APPLICATION COMPLETION PROCESSES. WHILE OUR DELIVERY OF THESE SERVICES IS DESIGNED TO SUPPORT ANY STUDENT WHO RESIDES IN OR ATTENDS A HIGH SCHOOL IN DURHAM, WE ARE ESPECIALLY FOCUSED ON REACHING STUDENTS WITHIN OUR TARGET POPULATION. OUR MOST INTENSIVE SERVICE, 1:1 ADVISING, WAS PREDOMINANTLY DELIVERED TO STUDENTS WITHIN THIS TARGET POPULATION: 65% OF STUDENTS WILL BE THE FIRST IN THEIR FAMILY TO ATTEND COLLEGE, 68% OF STUDENTS PARTICIPATE IN THE FREE AND REDUCED PRICED LUNCH PROGRAM, AND 82% OF STUDENTS WERE FROM RACIAL BACKGROUNDS THAT ARE TRADITIONALLY UNDER-REPRESENTED IN HIGHER EDUCATION. 173509 46205 IN ADDITION TO COLLEGE ACCESS PROGRAMMING, THE CENTER ENHANCES THE IMPACT OF LOCAL ORGANIZATIONS THROUGH FACILITY PARTNERSHIPS BY SERVING AS A HOME AND RESOURCE FOR NONPROFITS, SCHOOLS, AND COMMUNITY GROUPS AS THEY CONVENE, LEARN, AND GROW. TRADITIONALLY, THE CENTER HAS PARTNERED WITH APPROXIMATELY 40 PARTNERS ANNUALLY AND PROVIDES SPACE FOR FREE TO OVER 90% OF THESE PARTNERS, RESULTING IN SIGNIFICANT RENTAL SAVINGS FOR THESE ORGANIZATIONS. DUE TO THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC, THE FACILITY USAGE DURING 2021-22 WAS MORE LIMITED, BUT WE CONTINUED TO SERVE TWO SCHOOLS ONSITE AND WORK WITH A NUMBER OF FACILITY PARTNERS BOTH ONSITE AND VIRTUALLY.
