VIRTUAL LEARNING CENTER: THE HIGH SCHOOL DROP OUT RATE IS AMONG THE HIGHEST IN THE DISTRICT OF GU-VO FOR THE TOHONO O'ODHAM AND FOR THE NATION AS A WHOLE. ONE OF THE BARRIERS TO EDUCATION IS THE REMOTE LOCATION OF THE COMMUNITIES. NAAF PARTNERED WITH SUNNYSIDE UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT IN TUCSON AND BROUGHT A VIRTUAL LEARNING CENTER (VLC) TO THE DISTRICT. THIS VLC IS A VAN THAT SERVES AS A WI-FI HOTSPOT. THE VAN IS OUTFITTED WITH LAPTOPS AND TRAVELS BETWEEN THE FOUR VILLAGES, BRINGING EDUCATION DIRECTLY TO THE YOUTH AND THE COMMUNITIES. YOUTH WHO HAVE DROPPED OUT OF SCHOOL ARE ABLE TO BE RE-ENGAGED IN A LEARNING ENVIRONMENT AND REGISTER FOR ONLINE CLASSES THROUGH AN E2020 PROGRAM. THIS PROGRAM SERVES AS A TOOL IN EDUCATING THE NATION'S MOST AT-RISK YOUTH. ADDITIONALLY, THE VLC LAPTOPS ARE EQUIPPED WITH TUTORING PROGRAMS AND ACADEMIC SUPPORT SERVICES. THE MONITORS OF THE VLC HAVE BEEN TRAINED TO ASSIST USERS WITH THESE ONLINE TOOLS. DURING THE WEEKENDS, THE VLC IS ALSO AVAILABLE TO YOUNG ADULTS WHO WOULD LIKE TO WORK ON GETTING THEIR G.E.D. 200 19184 SUMMER PROGRAM: THIS PROGRAM SERVES TO ENGAGE YOUTH IN PRODUCTIVE ACTIVITIES THROUGHOUT THE SUMMER BREAK. PRIOR TO THE EXISTENCE OF NAAF THE LOCAL RESIDENTS OF GUVO HAD ALREADY PUT IN PLACE A SET OF CHILDCARE PROGRAMS TO ENGAGE THE YOUTH IN PRODUCTIVE ACTIVITIES THROUGHOUT THE SUMMER BREAK. NAAF HAS BUILT ON THAT IDEA AND EXPANDED THIS SERVICE TO INCORPORATE CHILDREN FROM THE FOUR COMMUNITIES IN OUR EDUCATIONAL, CULTURAL, AND FITNESS ACTIVITIES. THIS IS A SERVICE TO THE PARENTS AS WELL, SINCE IT IS NOT UNUSUAL TO SEE THEM ASKING NEIGHBORS AND FRIENDS TO WATCH OVER THEIR CHILDREN. THIS IS THE 2ND YEAR OF THE GUVO SUMMER ADVENTURE. OUR CURRENT ENROLLMENT IS 17 STUDENTS REPRESENTING MOST VILLAGES AND OUR ACTIVITIES ARE DETAILED IN OUR CALENDAR. THE PROGRAM RUNS FOR THE ENTIRE MONTHS OF JUNE AND JULY. OUR CLASSROOM ACTIVITIES INCLUDE MATH, ENGLISH, AND O'ODHAM CLASSES. WE ALSO PROVIDE AN ARTS & CRAFTS SESSION FOLLOWED BY PHYSICAL EDUCATION AT THE LOCAL HEALTH O'ODHAM PROMOTION PROGRAM (H.O.P.P.) FACILITY. OUR VOLUNTEERS HAVE RECEIVED CPR TRAINING, WHICH ALLOWS US TO COVER FOR THE H.O.P.P. MANAGER IN CASE OF EMERGENCY. 200 26284 THE GED PROGRAM WAS AN INITIATIVE DEVELOPED BY THE TOHONO O'ODHAM DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION TOGETHER WITH BOTH THE ONESTOP AND VOCATIONAL REHABILITATION PROGRAMS BASED IN SELLS. THESE PROGRAMS SEEK TO RETURN PEOPLE TO THE WORKFORCE BY GIVING THE QUALIFICATIONS THEY NEED TO SUCCEED IN THEIR JOBS. LACK OF PERMANENT EMPLOYMENT IS A SOURCE OF LIVELIHOOD INSTABILITY AND OVER THE LAST FORTY YEARS THE ECONOMY IN THE RESERVATION HAS SHIFTED TOWARDS EMPLOYMENT IN SERVICE SECTORS, PARTICULARLY IN PUBLIC AND TRIBAL EMPLOYMENT. TODAY SERVICE-SECTOR EMPLOYMENT ACCOUNTS FOR MORE THAN HALF OF ALL PERMANENT JOBS IN THE RESERVATION AND REQUIRE A HIGH SCHOOL DIPLOMA OR EQUIVALENT. THE GED CLASSES WERE ONLY SET UP IN THE EAST SIDE OF THE RESERVATION BECAUSE THE TRIBE'S DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION DID NOT HAVE THE MEANS TO PROVIDE THE SERVICE IN THE WESTERN SIDE. NAAF WAS RESPONSIBLE FOR ORGANIZING THE CLASSES IN GUVO, FOR GETTING APPROVAL FROM DISTRICT COUNCIL, AND FOR PROVIDING A MATH AND SCIENCE INSTRUCTOR FOR THE SUMMER SEMESTER. NAAF STAFF WAS ALSO VITAL IN TERMS OF PROMOTION AND ADVERTISEMENT OF THE PROGRAM. 785 13951 AFTER SCHOOL AND HOUSING PROGRAMS 8968 19917 79336 NANCY GALDI DIRECTOR 1.00 0 0 0 HAROLD KITAY DIRECTOR 1.00 0 0 0 MARGARET L STISH DIRECTOR 1.00 0 0 0 ROBERT E STISH EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR 10.00 9729 0 0 SUSAN LAUBNER WARMACK PRESIDENT/DIRECTOR 20.00 0 0 0 JENNIFER DIETZE TREASURER/DIRECTOR 1.00 0 0 0 LIZ BAKER SECRETARY/DIRECTOR 1.00 0 0 0 X 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 AZ SUSAN LAUBNER WARMACK PO BOX 64877 TUCSON AZ 857284877 9032440166 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 NONE NONE 1 X 17270 95135 135689 248094 17270 95135 135689 248094 68473 179621 1 1 2 248096 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED FORM 990-EZ, PART I, LINE 4 - OTHER INVESTMENT INCOME DESCRIPTION: INTEREST.
