THE CENTER'S K TO COLLEGE MODEL SERVES ACADEMICALLY FOCUSED, LOW-INCOME STUDENTS IN OUT-OF-SCHOOL PROGRAMMING DESIGNED TO HELP THEM ACHIEVE IN SCHOOL, GAIN ENTRY AND GRADUATE FROM COLLEGE, AND BREAK THE CYCLE OF POVERTY IN THEIR FAMILIES. 0 0 339398 PIONEER SCHOLARS IS OUR LONGEST-RUNNING PROGRAM THAT BEGAN WHEN THE CENTER OPENED IN 2006. IN THE 2014-15 SCHOOL YEAR, PIONEER SCHOLARS SERVED 78 FIRST THROUGH EIGHTH GRADERS IN DURHAM COUNTY THROUGH YEAR-ROUND INDIVIDUALIZED, ACADEMIC INSTRUCTION. ALL STUDENTS PARTICIPATE AT NO COST AND PROVIDE EVIDENCE OF FINANCIAL NEED, ACADEMIC FOCUS, AND FAMILY COMMITMENT. THIS PROGRAM AIMS TO IMPROVE STUDENTS' LITERACY AND MATH SKILLS, WHILE ALSO DEVELOPING STRONG LEADERSHIP AND CHARACTER TRAITS. STUDENTS PARTICIPATE IN SMALL GROUP LESSONS DESIGNED TO COMPLEMENT AND EXCEED WHAT THEY ARE INTRODUCED TO IN THEIR CLASSROOMS. DURING THE SCHOOL YEAR STUDENTS ATTEND 140 DAYS OF PROGRAMMING FOR 2.5 HOURS EACH WEEKDAY AFTERNOON LED BY 14 TEACHERS AND 50 TRAINED VOLUNTEERS. SUMMER PROGRAMMING EXTENDS FOR 23 DAYS, 4 HOURS EACH WEEKDAY, IN JUNE AND JULY. WE ENGAGE PARENTS AND FAMILIES IN OUR PARTNERSHIP THROUGH A BACK-TO-SCHOOL ORIENTATION SESSION, FAMILY NIGHT EVENTS, INDIVIDUAL STUDENT PROGRESS MEETINGS, AND A SUMMER PROJECT FAIR. PROGRAM EFFECTIVENESS IS MEASURED IN PART BY STUDENT PERFORMANCE ON THE WOODCOCK JOHNSON TESTS OF ACHIEVEMENT AND ACT ASPIRE TESTS AS WELL AS SURVEY FEEDBACK FROM STUDENTS, PARENTS, INSTRUCTORS, AND VOLUNTEERS. TYPICALLY AFTER ONE YEAR OF ENROLLMENT IN THE PROGRAM, STUDENTS AVERAGE A TEN POINT GAIN IN READING AND MATH SCORES ON THE WOODCOCK JOHNSON TEST. 640737 OUR HIGH SCHOOL SCHOLARS TO COLLEGE PROGRAM IS OUR LARGEST PROGRAM. IN THE 2014-15 SCHOOL YEAR WE SERVED 108 STUDENTS FROM 14 DIFFERENT HIGH SCHOOLS IN THE DURHAM COUNTY AREA. LIKE ALL OF OUR PROGRAMS, STUDENTS PARTICIPATE AT NO COST AND PROVIDE EVIDENCE OF FINANCIAL NEED, ACADEMIC FOCUS, AND FAMILY COMMITMENT. THE PROGRAM PREPARES STUDENTS TO REALIZE SUCCESS IN AND OUT OF SCHOOL, ULTIMATELY DEVELOPING INTO GRADUATING SENIORS WHO ARE SELF-ASSURED, SCHOLARSHIP-ELIGIBLE, AND COLLEGE-READY. STUDENTS MEET WEEKLY AT THE CENTER DURING THE SCHOOL YEAR FOR 2 HOURS OF GRADE-LEVEL SPECIFIC WORKSHOPS LED BY ONE OF FOUR CURRICULUM SPECIALISTS. THEY ALSO WORK INDIVIDUALLY WITH ONE OF OUR 27 LEAD COUNSELORS WHO SERVES AS A STUDENT MENTOR AND ADVOCATE. THREE COLLEGE CANDIDACY ADVISORS ALSO WORKED EXCLUSIVELY WITH OUR JUNIOR AND SENIOR CLASSES ON THE COLLEGE APPLICATION PROCESS. ADDITIONALLY, 2/3 OF OUR HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS RECEIVED SUBJECT-SPECIFIC TUTORING FROM ONE OF OUR 41 TRAINED VOLUNTEERS. DURING THE SUMMER WE REQUIRE STUDENTS TO PARTICIPATE IN 20 HOURS OF PUBLIC SPEAKING, DEBATE, AND WRITING INTENSIVES, AND MORE GENERAL ACADEMIC, SOCIAL, AND PERSONAL PREPARATION FOR A SUCCESSFUL TRANSITION TO HIGH SCHOOL. WE PILOTED A REDESIGNED EVALUATION SYSTEM IN THE 2014-15 SCHOOL YEAR THAT MEASURES STUDENTS' SUCCESS IN FIVE AREAS: COLLEGE PLANNING, PERSONAL MANAGEMENT AND LEADERSHIP, ACADEMIC SKILL DEVELOPMENT, CAREER EXPLORATION, AND PARENT EMPOWERMENT. WE ARE PROUD TO REPORT THAT FOR THE FOURTH CONSECUTIVE YEAR, 100% OF OUR SCHOLARS TO COLLEGE SENIORS GRADUATED HIGH SCHOOL AND ENROLLED IN COLLEGE. THE CLASS OF 2015 EARNED 59 COLLEGE ACCEPTANCES AT 37 DIFFERENT COLLEGES. 35540 GRADUATES OF THE EMILY K CENTER'S SCHOLARS TO COLLEGE PROGRAM ARE INVITED TO PARTICIPATE IN OUR THIRD PROGRAM - SCHOLARS ON CAMPUS. WE SERVED 16 STUDENTS IN THE 2014-15 SCHOOL YEAR AT 14 COLLEGES AND UNIVERSITIES. THIS PROGRAM SUPPORTS STUDENTS AS THEY TRANSITION FROM HIGH SCHOOL TO VARIOUS COLLEGE CAMPUSES AND ADAPT TO NEW ACADEMIC CHALLENGES. THROUGH REMOTE CONFERENCING AND ON-CAMPUS VISITS, WE ASSIST COLLEGE STUDENTS IN ESTABLISHING AN ON-CAMPUS SUPPORT NETWORK, IDENTIFYING A CLEAR COURSE OF STUDY, AND MAINTAINING THEIR FINANCIAL AID. IN 2015 WE CELEBRATED A FIRST COLLEGE GRADUATION OF A STUDENT WHO COMPLETED HER COURSEWORK IN THREE YEARS. 93% OF OUR INITIAL SCHOLARS ON CAMPUS PARTICIPANTS ARE STILL ENROLLED IN COLLEGE. 328927 77315 IN ADDITION TO OUR THREE K TO COLLEGE PROGRAMS, THE SECOND PART OF OUR MISSION IS TO MAKE EXCELLENT USE OF OUR FACILITY AS A COMMUNITY RESOURCE IN DURHAM. WE HAVE AN EXTENSIVE NETWORK OF ORGANIZATIONS THAT WORK WITH THE CENTER TO FULFILL THEIR PROGRAMMING GOALS.

FACILITY PARTNERS USED THE CENTER AN AVERAGE OF 65 HOURS EACH WEEK AND SERVED THOUSANDS OF COMMUNITY MEMBERS AND STUDENTS MONTHLY THROUGH THESE ACTIVITIES. THE CENTER PROVIDED SPACE FOR FREE TO OVER 90% OF THESE PARTNERS WHICH RESULTED IN OVER $150,000 IN RENTAL SAVINGS FOR THESE ORGANIZATIONS.
