. Dasie Bridgewater Hope Center, Inc. F. PROGRAM EVALUATION (Entire Section F not to exceed two pages) 1 . DEMOGRAPHICS: What information (data elements) will you need to collect in order to accurately describe your target population including demographics (age, gender, and ethnic background) required by the funder in Section H? What are the pieces of information that qualify them for your target population? How do you document their need for services or their "unacceptable condition requiring change" from Section 131 ? An initial application is taken before entering Dasie Hope Center, which lists, name, age, gender, ethnic background, school lunch (free or reduced), and general parent information (such as, employment, guardianship). Daily sign-in attendance is taken, academic performance is tracked through report cards and progress reports via Indian River County School District. 86% of youth are on free lunch program, 14% of youth are on reduced lunch program. This information is furnished from parent or school district, which qualifies youth for services at Dasie Hope Center. Latch-key, low-income, free/reduced lunch program, failing grades, attendance problems are the key pieces for qualifying for Dasie Hope Center Afterschool Program. 2. MEASURES: What data elements will you need to collect to show that you have achieved (or made progress toward) your Measurable Outcomes in Section D? What tools or items are you using as measures (grades, survey scores, attendance, absences, skill levels) for your program ? Are you getting baseline information from a source on your Collaboration List in Section E? Are there results from your Activities in Section D that need to be documented? How often do you need to collect or follow-up on this data? A pre/post test is given at the entry/ending of a non-academic activity. Achievement in computer classes, business class and cooking classes are all reflected in our youth report cards. During the past 2006 academic school year, there has been a significant improvement of 6% in math grades among 6b — 12`h grade participants. Youth are learning and retaining fractions and percentages skills in a fun and creative way, which has reflected in their improved grades. Reports, attendance reports, progress reports and disciplinary reports are furnished through Indian River County School District (per signed permission slips from parents/guardians) . Contacts with school district teachers and administers has made this process an easy way to track youth performances and make home visits if necessary . 12 a
