GOAL 2 To increase the attendance percentage to 75%+ for those Crossover participants who MUST attend tutoring due to a 2.0 GPA or lower and to increase the attendance percentage at athletic training sessions to 75%+ with training 3x per week. Outcome measured by attendance rosters during the school year. Greater student connection to Crossover means lessened delinquency, truancy and gang involvement. Exception to the attendance rule will be made for students participating in other school sports/educational activities. Baseline: May 2015/2016 attendance rosters. Individual attendance for the year-long basketball program was 81 % and attendance for the Tutoring/Mentoring program was 83% for the year. This exceeded the goal despite challenges during Q2 and Q3. The summer programs were well attended and brought up the attendance average. GOAL 3 To create and develop awareness & greater collaboration in the community with parents, schools, law enforcement, churches, civic groups, donor groups, youth groups, athletics teams, etc. by increasing the number of impactful outreach appearances/meetings/activities by 50%. As a result, we will increase the number of volunteer hours by 50%. Baseline: 05/2015 - 05/2016 Outreach appearances and number of volunteers. Crossover has made a targeted effort to build on the collaboration with the schools over the 2016-17 school year and through the summer. Crossover has begun Course Recovery tutoring at both Gifford Middle School and Storm Grove Middle School for the 2017-18 school year. Crossover mentors are back attending orientations, in -class intervention, student lunches and conferences with struggling students together with their parents in the schools. The collaboration with the two middle schools has paid off in terms of increased gym time with an additional 15 hours per week granted as of August this year! Because of this cooperation, and thanks to GMS Principal Tosha Jones, Superintendent Mark Rendell and IRC School Board Member Tiffany Justice, Antoine has begun running a Friday night open gym at GMS, 7:00 PM — midnight, open to the public and with the intention of keeping young people off the streets. Crossover has added a new board member, Captain Milo Thornton, from the IRC Sheriffs Office. Crossover engaged with the Sheriffs office in our August Sheriff Exhibition Game at the GYAC. Antoine continues the 8th — 10th grade Crossover participants into the Men's Basketball League in efforts to raise student performance and to keep these students surrounded by strong adult male role models. Together with our funding agencies, Crossover Executive staff make regular presentations throughout the county to advocate for the issue of At -Risk and High -Risk students. These efforts were increased by 100% as our staff, board and volunteers all reached into the community to entice more volunteers. Volunteer numbers increased 45% in 2016-17 school year especially through the high school student volunteer base. -22- 35
