STEP <br />Bootcamp focuses on individuals who need more support and guidance to pursue gainful employment. <br />The goal of our STEP Bootcamp is to encourage and prepare potential STEP participants of available job <br />services and employment opportunities for participants who are not prepared to secure employment <br />immediately because of criminal records, substance use, homelessness or just plain fear. Our STEP <br />Facilitator and Success Coaches meet individually with Bootcamp participants to assess their current <br />barriers and help them to focus on their ability and skill level. STEP staff then works with the Bootcamp <br />participant to determine the best course of action for the individual to complete all components of STEP in <br />order to secure and maintain employment. This might include understanding the reality of employment <br />with a criminal record, access to support services and counseling. <br />Summary Report <br />Amount requested from Indian River County for 2019/2020: <br />Total Proposed Program budget for 2019/2020: <br />Percent of total Program budget: <br />Current Funding (2018/2019) <br />Dollar increase / (decrease) in request: <br />Percent increase / decrease in request: <br />$11,138.40 <br />$75,168.56 <br />15% <br />$10,710.00 <br />$428.40 <br />4% <br />If request increased 5% or more, briefly explain why: <br />N/A <br />The Organization's Board of Directors has approved this apptjcan on (date): January 17, 2019 <br />Barbara Lowry <br />Name of President/Chair of the Board <br />Annabel Robertson <br />Name of Exec.
