STEP <br />Bootcamp focuses on individuals who need more support and guidance to pursue gainful employment. The <br />goal of our STEP Bootcamp is to encourage and prepare potential STEP participants of available job services <br />and employment opportunities for participants who are not prepared to secure employment immediately <br />because of criminal records, substance use, homelessness or just plain fear. Our STEP Facilitator and <br />Success Coaches meet individually with Bootcamp participants to assess their current barriers and help them <br />to focus on their ability and skill level. STEP staff then works with the Bootcamp participant to determine the <br />best course of action for the individual to complete all components of STEP in order to secure and maintain <br />employment. This might include understanding the reality of employment with a criminal record, access to <br />support services and counseling. <br />Summary Report <br />Amount requested from Indian River County for 2019/2020: $11,138.40 <br />Total Proposed Program budget for 2019/2020: $75,168.56 <br />Percent of total Program budget: 15% <br />Current Funding (2018/2019) $10,453.00 <br />Dollar increase / (decrease) in request: $685.40 <br />Percent increase / decrease in request: 6.557% <br />f request increased 5% or more, briefly explain why: <br />Expansion of services to the community. <br />The Organization's Board of Directors has approved this applicaf / <br />Barbara Lowry1 <br />Name of President/Chair of the Board Sig ture <br />Annabel Robertson <br />Name of Exec.
