issues were able to improve, missing our goal of 7S%. However, we would like to note that 93% of our 30 students recorded a good attendance pattern over the course of the school year. This was the first full year of in school learning after the pandemic, and attendance issues were markedly increased. Twenty-six of our students returned for the 2022-2023 school year, and official baseline data for attendance will be established upon receipt of the first quarter report card. During the match meetings, mentors have been stressing the importance of being in school every day. In fact, most of the mentors have their mentees giving them attendance updates during their weekly match meetings in an attempt to get ahead of any attendance issues. Goal 3: 75% of the targeted population participating in the program 3 months or more will identify risky behaviors and learn the steps needed to avoid them. Baseline: Pre and post Youth Outcome Surveys (YOS), Youth Outcome Development Plans (YODP), and Career Development Plans. The YODP is addressed at each match meeting and progress/concerns are noted. YODP's are individualized to the specific areas of need for each youth, and the YODP is in effect throughout the tenure of the match. At the end of the 3rd quarter, all students were progressing with their individual plans, securing a 100% goal achievement at the end of the school year. At the beginning of the 2022-2023 school year, individual YODP's were reviewed and updated. Monitoring is ongoing for each of the students, with continued support from their Big and their Case Manager to ensure success with the updated goals. Goal 4: 75% of the high school students participating in the program 3 months or more will identify post -graduation opportunities, understand what is required to attain those opportunities, and create action steps within a personal development plan. Baseline: Pre and post Youth Outcome Surveys, Career Outcome Surveys, and Youth Development Plans. There are 4 high school seniors enrolled in the Community Program for the 2021-2022 school year. Baseline data was established for each of the 4 seniors during September/October. The COS and YDP's were collaboratively established by the Case Manager, the Mentor, and the student. These plans proved to be very effective for the four students as all four successfully graduated from high school, one graduating with Honors. Two were accepted into college, one graduated with a technical certification that will enable him to join the workforce immediately, and one took time off to visit family members in New York before enrolling at IRSC. For the 2022-2023 school year, we have three students in high school, one of whom is a senior. During the first month of school, new YOS and COS were administered to establish baseline data for the three high school students. 119
