WITH 75% OF WEH FAMILIES EARNING LESS THAN $25,000 PER YEAR AND 70% OF THE YOUNG PEOPLE SERVED COMING FROM SINGLE-PARENT HOUSEHOLDS, THE WEH IS TRULY REACHING THE CHILDREN AND TEENS MOST IN NEED. THE MEMBERSHIP FEE IS ONLY $15 ANNUALLY, TO ENSURE THERE ARE NO FINANCIAL BARRIERS TO PARTICIPATION. EVEN WITH SUCH A LOW FEE, MORE THAN HALF OF THE YOUNG PEOPLE ARE PROVIDED SCHOLARSHIPS BY THE WEH.THE WEH OFFERS ITS 1,500 MEMBERS AN INTEGRATED ARRAY OF PROGRAMS ACROSS FOUR BROAD AREAS: LEADERSHIP AND LIFE SKILLS; ACADEMIC SUPPORT AND COLLEGE PREPARATION; SPORTS, FITNESS AND NUTRITION; AND VISUAL AND PERFORMING ARTS. IN SUPPORT OF THESE PROGRAMS, THE WEH ALSO SERVES OVER 1,200 HEALTHFUL HOT MEALS TO MEMBERS EVERY WEEK.THE WEH OFFERS A RICH ARRAY OF ACTIVITIES, SUPPORT SERVICES AND EMOTIONAL CONNECTIONS DELIVERED BY AN EXPERT STAFF THAT UNDERSTANDS THE PROFOUND EFFECT CONSISTENT, NURTURING, STABLE RELATIONSHIPS HAVE ON A CHILD'S LIFE. THE WEH TRANSFORMS LIVES BY CONNECTING MEMBERS WITH THE ACTIVITIES, RESOURCES AND SUPPORTS THEY NEED TO SUCCEED INSIDE AND OUTSIDE OF SCHOOL.A KEY TOOL USED BY THE WEH TO ENSURE THE CONTINUING, CONSISTENT AND CUSTOMIZED ATTENTION IS WISDOM: WEH INTERNAL SYSTEM FOR DEVELOPMENTAL OUTCOMES MEASUREMENT. THIS SYSTEM ALLOWS STAFF MEMBERS TO CREATE AND MONITOR A NUANCED PICTURE OF HOW EACH CHILD IS DOING. IF NECESSARY, AN INTERVENTION PLAN IS DEVELOPED TO ADDRESS ANY ISSUES OR PROBLEMS, SO NO CHILD FALLS THROUGH THE CRACKS. DATA IS ALSO AGGREGATED AND ANALYZED TO INFORM PROGRAM DEVELOPMENT AND RESOURCE ALLOCATION. THE WISDOM TOOL CURRENTLY TRACKS 200 WEH MEMBERS, WITH PLANS TO DOUBLE THAT NUMBER. THIS FOCUS ON MEASURING THE PROGRESS OF YOUTH ENSURES THAT EVERY YOUNG PERSON IS ON-TRACK TO SUCCEED.
