Part 3
BRIGHT HOPES KEPT YOUTH LEARNING BY SUPPORTING THEM WITH STAYING CONNECTED TO THEIR SCHOOL. WE PROVIDED INFORMATION AND CONNECTIONS TO COMMUNITY SUPPORTIVE RESOURCES AND ENCOURAGED YOUTH WITH INCENTIVES AND MOTIVATING ACTIVITIES. WE ALSO PROVIDED SNACKS TO KEEP YOUTH ENCOURAGED. IT IS HARD TO LEARN IF YOU ARE HUNGRY. SOMETIMES YOUTH JUST NEED A RESPONSIBLE ADULT TO LISTEN TO THEM. WE PROVIDED FOOD AND FOOD CONNECTIONS, AND WE ADVOCATED FOR FAMILIES WHO NEEDED SUPPORT FOR THEIR BASIC NEEDS OF CLOTHING, FOOD, AND SHELTER. WE PROVIDED LAUNDRY SUPPLIES AND SUPPORT WHEN NEEDED. WE ALSO PROVIDED YOUTH SUBSTANCE ABUSE PREVENTION WORKSHOPS. OUR NEWEST PROJECT "BRIGHT HOPES KINDERGARTEN ATTENDANCE BOOSTER SUPPORT" WORKS TO REDUCE THE NUMBER OF KINDERGARTEN STUDENTS THAT GET PUT OUT OF SCHOOL EACH YEAR DUE TO NOT MEETING IMMUNIZATION GUIDELINES. OUR COMMUNITY HAS THE RESOURCES TO ADDRESS THIS CONCERN, BUT FAMILIES NEED HELP WITH CONNECTING TO THE RESOURCES.
