The Foundation's clear focus and dedication to issues that affect children and youth has made it the right choice for implementing DAYS. The Baker Foundation's board of directors has the leadership needed to guide the DAYS program and ensure it has the resources it needs to grow, serve more youth and provide innovative and well-rounded services. DAYS provides free educational and recreational activities for socially and economically underserved children and youth in Long Beach. Our flagship program is the DAYS Summer Day Camp. Each summer hundreds of children and youth attend our unique free drop-in six-week summer day camp. Due to enormous needs and to better serve our children and youth, DAYS has gone through an immense expansion since its early days of summer day camp. Our work includes but is not limited to:1) Mentoring and Educational Services--working in partnership with The Center of Community Engagement at CSULB, and Communities with Power for Change (CPC), DAYS is celebrating its third year of securing three AmeriCorps Members for 11 months to mentor over 60 of our middle school age youth. Members meet weekly with each mentee, focusing on academics, developing leadership skills, building healthy relationships, which creates opportunities to participate in a series of community service projects. 2) College Bound workshops are targeted to middle and high school students that experience barriers to a higher education, and who are often from undocumented, very-low income families. Attendees receive assistance in writing personal narratives, and completing college and financial aid applications. Parents are also involved through workshops and family classes, and are provided English-as-a-second-language resources.3) Summer Day Camp is offered free of charge to 200 children and youth ages 7-17 that are from socioeconomically disadvantaged families. The Camp has a child-to-adult ratio that is lower than most classrooms, allowing for more individual attention, and the program pursues topic areas that align with the LBUSD curriculum. DAYS provides transportation and field trips. 4) Be S.A.F.E. (Summer Activities in a Friendly Environment) provides safe recreational opportunities for youth during summer evenings. Services are typically offered two nights each week (Mon-Wed 6-9pm) for eight weeks, and participants are low-income, at-risk middle and high school aged youth. The program is implemented at Drake Park, under the direction of DAYS staff, with mentoring, leadership development and educational activities. 5) Leaders Long Beach (LLB) is a new program that has been spearheaded by alumni of the Summer Day Camp program, ages 15-24, who have begun volunteering their time to mobilize their peers to address community issues and support DAYS programming. LLB has been working with DAYS staff to pilot an innovative curriculum for elementary and middle school aged camp participants; striving to make the topics of history, math, science and literature more accessible and relevant for youth--while still aligned with the teachings of LBUSD. LLB's inventive plans for delivering lessons are expectedd to make the kids more school-ready, engaged and motivated to learn. LLB is also working on a peer-to-peer youth training program to teach life skills that will improve personal and professional outcomes. 6) To ensure that we provide quality programs, we continue to collaborate with community agencies such as The State of Art Project (TSOAP), Fitness for All, Women Shelter of Long Beach, Chavez Group, Long Beach Immigrant Rights Coalition, Community Partners for Change, Building Healthy Communities (BHC) Initiative of Long Beach, Downtown Church Network, Human Trafficking Tax Force, and Alternatives to Living in a Violent Environment (ALIVE) to expose our children and youth to the wider community. Activity not previously reported to the IRS Part V line 33 Prior to this year, we provided only partial funding for the programs that are now operating in our name. Programs for children have always been our focus, but now we have a more hands-on responsibility. Downtown Associated Youth Services (DAYS) provides academic enrichment opportunities and safe, out-of-school activities to children and youth in Long Beach.
