PARTICIPANTS IN THE GREENING'S ADULT WORKFORCE PROGRAM ARE TRAINED FOR JOBS IN LANDSCAPING, FORESTRY, AND AGRICULTURE. THE FOCUS AREAS WITHIN THE GREENING'S PROGRAM INCLUDE: FIRST AID AND SAFETY, LANDSCAPE PLAN READING AND ESTIMATING, TURF INSTALLATION AND MAINTENANCE, PLANTS AND PLANTINGS, TREE/SHRUB MAINTENANCE, IRRIGATION SYSTEMS, LANDSCAPE EQUIPMENT AND SAFETY (TAUGHT BY OSHA-CERTIFIED INSTRUCTORS) AND CHAUFFEUR'S LICENSE TRAINING. IN 2014 THE PROGRAM ADDED A NEW CERTIFICATION IN THE FIELD OF TREE ARTESIAN. THIS CERTIFICATION FOCUSES ON URBAN FORESTRY, TREE REMOVAL, AND STUMP GRINDING. THIS PROGRAM IS ALSO CERTIFIED AS A FEDERAL APPRENTICESHIP PROGRAM FROM THE U.S. DEPARTMENT OF LABOR. IN 2017, THE GREENING OF DETROIT'S DETROIT CONSERVATION CORPS, CONTINUES TO MOVE ITS MISSION ALONG WITH TRAINING 2,400 DETROIT RESIDENTS, WITH BARRIERS TO EMPLOYMENT. THE DETROIT CONSERVATION CORPS (DCC) WAS FORMED WITH A FIVE-YEAR GOAL TO TRAIN AT LEAST 2,400 UNEMPLOYED DETROITERS THROUGH THE GREENING OF DETROIT'S ENTRY LEVEL LANDSCAPE INDUSTRY PROGRAM; AND PROVIDE EMPLOYMENT WITHIN A LOCAL CONSERVATION CORPS. THE CORPS OPERATES AS A SOCIAL ENTERPRISE, AVAILABLE TO IMPLEMENT PUBLIC AND PRIVATE LANDSCAPE RENOVATION PROJECTS. IN YEAR END OF 2017, 121 DETROIT RESIDENTS GRADUATED FROM THE DCC PROGRAMMING AND 101 WERE PLACED INTO JOBS, 10 ENROLLED INTO POST SECONDARY EDUCATION, 5 STARTED THEIR OWN LANDSCAPING COMPANIES, AND 5 WERE NOT INTERESTED IN WORKING IN A GREEN FIELD. DCC IS A FEDERALLY ACCREDITED APPRENTICESHIP PROGRAM: GRADUATES RECEIVE MULTIPLE CERTIFICATIONS IN FIRST AID, CPR, MIOSHA, CUSTOMER SERVICE, FINANCIAL LITERACY, AND LANDSCAPE INSTALLATION. DCC IS A COLLABORATIVE SERVICE PROGRAM THAT PROVIDES WRAP-AROUND SERVICES, INCLUDING SOCIAL SERVICE ASSISTANCE, RESUME WRITING, AND THE JOB INTERVIEW SKILLS THROUGH ITS PARTNER ORGANIZATIONS, SCARLETT COMMUNICATIONS, AND IMPOSSIBLY IMPOSSIBLE. OVER 510 ADULT TRAINEES HAVE GRADUATED FROM THE GREENING'S COHORT SESSIONS WITH CERTIFICATES. EIGHTY FOUR PERCENT OF THE TRAINEES HAVE BEEN PLACED INTO JOBS THAT PAY ON AN AVERAGE $12.50 AN HOUR.THE GREENING OF DETROIT HAS PLANTED MORE THAN 100,000 TREES THROUGHOUT THE CITY SINCE 1989. AS OUR SCOPE OF WORK GREW, THE ORGANIZATION CREATED A SUMMER YOUTH WORKFORCE PROGRAM TO ASSIST IN THE WATERING AND MAINTENANCE OF THE TREES. THE GREEN CORPS PROGRAM HAS COLLECTIVELY EMPLOYED MORE THAN 1600 DETROIT YOUTH SINCE ITS INCEPTION IN 1998. BY MAINTAINING THOUSANDS OF TREES IN 120 PLANTING SITES ACROSS THE CITY, CORPS MEMBERS ARE INVESTING THEIR ENERGY AND TIME IN THEIR COMMUNITIES. THESE YOUTH ALSO BEAUTIFY PARKS, NEIGHBORHOODS, AND PARTICIPATE IN CONSERVATION PROJECTS THAT HAVE MEANINGFUL AND BENEFICIAL IMPACTS FOR DETROIT RESIDENTS. THE ULTIMATE GOAL OF THE YOUTH EMPLOYMENT PROGRAM IS TO PROVIDE YOUNG PEOPLE WITH OPPORTUNITIES FOR WORK, AND TO NURTURE A SENSE OF ENVIRONMENTAL STEWARDSHIP.IN 2017, 100 GREEN CORPS YOUTH WERE EMPLOYED BY THE GREENING OF DETROIT. THE GREENING OF DETROIT WAS ABLE TO EMPLOY 50 ADDITIONAL YOUTH TO WORK BY BEING A PROGRAM PROVIDER FOR GROWING DETROIT'S YOUNG TALENT (GDYT). TWO CONSERVATION PROJECTS WERE COMPLETED THIS SUMMER (MORE THAN 50 CONSERVATION PROJECTS COMPLETED SINCE 1988). GREEN CORPS EMPLOYEES WATERED AND WEEDED MORE THAN 1,128 TREES AND MAINTAINED 46 DPS SCHOOL GARDENS THROUGHOUT THE SUMMER. IN 2017, GREEN CORPS STUDENTS AGES (14-18) EARNED AND HOURLY WAGE OF $8.90 AN HOUR, AND STUDENTS AGES (18-24) EARNED WAGES OF $12.50 AN HOUR. THESE STUDENTS ARE EXPOSED TO OPPORTUNITIES IN GREEN COLLAR JOBS, COLLEGE READINESS, WORK READINESS, SAT PREPARATORY SESSIONS, FINANCIAL LITERACY, PARTICIPATING IN COLLEGE TOURS, LEADERSHIP BUILDING, CONFLICT RESOLUTION, AND TEAM BUILDING. 485842 84708 111838 URBAN AGRICULTURE - IN 2017, THE BUILD-A-GARDEN PROGRAM STAFF WORKED ALONGSIDE COMMUNITY TO BUILD AND DISTRIBUTE 200 GARDENS THROUGHOUT DETROIT, INCREASING FOOD ACCESS TO SOME OF OUR MOST FOOD INSECURE RESIDENTS. ADDITIONALLY, OUR WORK INCLUDED THE HEALTHY FOOD CONNECT PROGRAM ENGAGING FIVE PUBLIC HOUSING SITES AND RESIDENTS THAT PROVIDED SPECIFIC OPPORTUNITIES TO INCREASE RESIDENTS' ACCESS TO HEALTHY FOODS THROUGH THE PROVISION OF FIELD TRIPS TO THE GREENING OF DETROIT'S URBAN FARMS, AND SEASONAL SHOPPING TRIPS TO COMMUNITY FARMERS MARKETS AND PRODUCE STANDS. WE ALSO INCLUDED TRIPS TO EASTERN MARKET, HONEY BEE MARKET, AND E&L MARKET IN SOUTHWEST DETROIT, WHICH OFFERED RESIDENTS THE CHANCE TO TRY FOODS FROM DIFFERENT CULTURES. A TOTAL OF 6 SHOPPING TRIPS WERE CONDUCTED, ENGAGING A TOTAL OF 60 RESIDENTS. WE ACHIEVED 1,300 IMPRESSIONS ON RESIDENTS, WHO WERE EXPOSED TO PROGRAM MATERIALS SUCH AS NUTRITIONAL EDUCATION FLYERS AND RECIPE CARDS AT THE PARTICIPATING HOUSING SITES.FURTHER, THE PROGRAM PROVIDED SPECIAL SERVICE LEARNING OPPORTUNITIES FOR TEENS THAT PARTICIPATED IN OUR GREEN CORPS PROGRAM, WHICH EACH YEAR OFFERS DETROIT YOUTH WITH MEANINGFUL SUMMER EMPLOYMENT, VALUABLE JOB TRAINING (INCLUDING MASTER GARDENER CERTIFICATION TRAINING), AND ENVIRONMENTAL EXPERIENCES AS THEY CARE FOR TREES, GREEN SPACES AND GARDENS THROUGHOUT THE CITY. THIS SUMMER, 20 OF THE 150 YOUTH EMPLOYED IN THE GREEN CORPS PROGRAM PARTICIPATED IN THE GARDEN BUILDS AT THE HOUSING SITES. THIS INCLUDED BOTH CONSTRUCTION OF THE RAISED BEDS AND ALSO THE PLANTING OF CROPS IN THE GARDENS, WHERE THEY WORKED SIDE BY SIDE WITH THE FAMILIES WHO RESIDE AT THE SITES. PARTICIPATION IN SERVICE LEARNING PROJECTS LIKE THESE HELPS YOUTH DEVELOP A SENSE OF COMMUNITY INTEREST, AND THEY COME TO UNDERSTAND THAT THEIR WORK ADDS AESTHETIC, ECONOMIC AND ENVIRONMENTAL BENEFITS TO THEIR NEIGHBORHOODS, AND HELPS TO CREATE A CULTURE OF COMMUNITY STEWARDSHIP THAT LASTS LONG AFTER THEIR SUMMER JOB EXPERIENCE. AT THE SAME TIME, THE RESIDENTS HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO SHARE AND RELATE TO THE TEENS IN THE PROGRAM, MANY OF WHOM LIVE IN THE NEARBY NEIGHBORHOODS. FINALLY, IN 2017 A RESTRUCTURE OF OUR URBAN AGRICULTURE PROGRAMMING WAS CONDUCTED. THIS WAS A RESULT OF A RESTRUCTURE OF THE ORGANIZATION. THE GREENING SCALED IT'S AGRICULTURE PROGRAMS WITH A FOCUS ON HEALTH AND WELLNESS. CURRENTLY, WE MAINTAIN 1 GARDEN SITE CALLED LAFAYETTE GREENS AND CONDUCT ALL OUR VEGETABLE AND HERB GROWING AS WELL AS CLASSES AND ACTIVITIES. LAFAYETTE GREENS IS NESTLED IN THE HEART OF DOWNTOWN DETROIT, LAFAYETTE GREENS IS MORE THAN A COMMUNITY GARDEN - IT'S AN INTERNATIONAL, AWARD WINNING GREEN SPACE THAT PROVIDES VISITORS SPECIAL OPPORTUNITIES FOR OUTDOOR LEARNING AND ENJOYMENT. IN 2017, OVER 7,000 INDIVIDUALS VISITED THE GARDEN AND ATTENDED COOKING DEMONSTRATIONS, FITNESS WORKSHOPS, TASTE IT TUESDAY SESSIONS, AND THE MAHINDRA SUMMER MUSIC SERIES. ADDITIONALLY, 500 VOLUNTEERS HELPED HARVEST OVER 500 POUNDS OF PRODUCE THAT WAS DONATED THROUGHOUT THE DETROIT COMMUNITY. 2086300 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 96 0 1 185 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 15 15 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 MI X KERRY SITAR DIRECTOR OF FINANCE 3132388733 13000 W MCNICHOLS DETROIT MI 48235 RICHARD A RAMIREZ CHAIR-ELECT 10.00 X X 0 0 0 BILL ERNZEN COMMISSIONER 1.00 X 0 0 0 MICHELLE KOBERNICK COMMISSIONER 1.00 X 0 0 0 THOMAS E PETERS COMMISSIONER 1.00 X 0 0 0 DAVID SANDERS COMMISSIONER (LEFT 12/1/17) 1.00 X 0 0 0 BRAD SIMMONS COMMISSIONER (LEFT 4/1/17) 1.00 X 0 0 0 ANN DELISI COMMISSIONER 1.00 X 0 0 0 KEITH COOLEY COMMISSIONER 1.00 X 0 0 0 BILL BURDETT CHAIRMAN 10.00 X X 0 0 0 ROBIN BOYLE COMMISSIONER 1.00 X 0 0 0 ROBB HARPER COMMISSIONER 1.00 X 0 0 0 WILL SAMUEL TREASURER (LEFT 2/1/17) 1.00 X X 0 0 0 JAMES N CANDLER JR COMMISSIONER 1.00 X 0 0 0 MAURICE HOGAN COMMISSIONER 1.00 X 0 0 0 JOEL D KELLMAN COMMISSIONER (LEFT 3/16/17) 1.00 X 0 0 0 SONDRA PEDIGO COMMISSIONER 1.00 X 0 0 0 JOHN A SIMON COMMISSIONER 1.00 X 0 0 0 DUANE LEWIS COMMISSIONER 1.00 X 0 0 0 FELICIA VENABLE COMMISSIONER 1.00 X 0 0 0 KERRY SITAR FINANCE DIRECTOR 50.00 X 87117 0 0 LIONEL BRADFORD PRESIDENT 50.00 X 98894 0 0 186011 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 28250 390087 2877036 3295373 PLANTING AND AGRICULTU 111000 160728 160728 160728 22607 77213 -54606 -54606 -54606 12100 28250 22214 -10114 -10114 MISCELLANEOUS INCOME 111000 45923 45923 45923 3437304 206651 0 -64720 X 186011 120907 37203 27901 1048163 906106 97452 44605 56287 46150 6589 3548 158118 141623 9325 7170 294469 287901 3848 2720 167494 107464 56377 3653 56901 49543 7358 4792 1989 2803 2842 2842 45245 32559 12686 108664 97411 11253 NURSERY STOCK 111451 111451 VEHICLE EXPENSES 88036 86407 1103 526 PROJECT MATERIALS AND S 77634 76663 0 971 EQUIPMENT RENTAL/REPAIR 22896 19127 3484 285 12720 999 11690 31 2441723 2086300 264013 91410 133306 898596 183757 296777 5000 1436836 622376 864055 814460 3346 3575 4500 4500 1188964 2022908 462680 303285 10194 7952 472874 311237 X 444601 820939 271489 890732 716090 1711671 1188964 2022908 995581 0 X X 0 1 X 1 0 X 2702680 3388489 3636028 3417052 3295373 16439622 2702680 3388489 3636028 3417052 3295373 16439622 16439622 20 20 14379 8376 12878 254864 45923 336420 16776062 3374196 0.97990 0.98100 X SCHEDULE A, PART II, LINE 10, EXPLANATION OF OTHER INCOME: OTHER INCOME - 2013 AMOUNT: $ 14,379. 2014 AMOUNT: $ 8,376. 2015 AMOUNT: $ 12,878. 2016 AMOUNT: $ 4,864. 2017 AMOUNT: $ 45,923.
