Describe the Organization's Program Activity:

Part 3 - Line 4a

LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT - OUR LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMS ARE ROOTED IN TEACHING, TRAINING, AND SUPPORTING BIPOC YOUTH AND ADULTS FROM OUR COMMUNITY ON CIVIC ENGAGEMENT, COALITION BUILDING, AND COMMUNITY ORGANIZING. WE LAUNCHED OUR FIRST COHORT IN THE FALL OF 2021, WITH 6 WOMEN OF COLOR, WHO WERE SELECTED TO BE A PART OF OUR RISING FELLOWSHIP FOR 9 MONTHS. THIS IS A PAID WORK EXPERIENCE WITH SKILL-BUILDING OPPORTUNITIES AND MENTORSHIP TO THE FUTURE LEADERS OF OUR COMMUNITY.


YOUTH LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT - YOUTH LEAD IS OUR EDUCATION AND LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM LAUNCHED IN 2020 THAT IS FOCUSED ON BIPOC YOUTH AGES 16-22 OFFERING COMMUNITY BUILDING, LEARNING, PERSONAL LEADERSHIP, AND SKILL DEVELOPMENT. IN PARTNERSHIP WITH PARTICIPATORY BUDGETING OREGON, OUR YOUTH PARTICIPANTS HAVE ALREADY SECURED OVER 1 MILLION IN ARPA FUNDS FROM LOCAL GOVERNMENTS TO PILOT THIS PROJECT IN EARLY 2022 THROUGH A YOUTH PARTICIPATORY BUDGETING PROCESS. THIS WILL ALLOW FOR YOUTH-LED, YOUTH-DRIVEN DECISION-MAKING ON WHAT IDEAS ARE INVESTED IN AND BROUGHT TO FRUITION IN OUR COMMUNITY.


CIVIC EDUCATION - WE BELIEVE THAT GOVERNMENT, ESPECIALLY LOCAL GOVERNMENT, WILL WORK BETTER - WITH BETTER POLICIES, BETTER RELATIONSHIPS, BETTER OUTCOMES FOR ALL - IF WE INCREASE THE COMMUNITYS PARTICIPATION IN THE PROCESS. FOR THE 2020 CENSUS, ECRCP ORGANIZED A SUCCESSFUL CENSUS CAMPAIGN TO ENSURE THAT OUR COMMUNITIES IN EAST COUNTY RECEIVED A FAIR COUNT, ESPECIALLY FROM HARD-TO-COUNT COMMUNITIES YOUNG PEOPLE, SENIORS, BLACK, INDIGENOUS, PEOPLE OF COLOR, AND IMMIGRANTS. IN 2021, WE TRANSITIONED THIS WORK TO THE REDISTRICTING PROCESS, WHERE WE HELD INFORMATION SESSIONS AND TRAININGS ON HOW THE REDISTRICTING PROCESS WORKS IN OREGON AND HOW THE PUBLIC CAN BE INVOLVED.
