This will be a collaborative effort between the Rotary Club of Meridian and YMCA to coordinate with the Ada West School to identify and implement this program in a Title 1 school.
The grant would be used provide schoolteachers and YMCA instructor to provide the classes, community service projects, transportation costs, and supplies (including volunteer events, snacks, celebrations material, etc.).
Rotarians will work with YMCA leadership and Ada West to identify a title 1 school to champion the program. Rotarians will play a central role in organizing, facilitating, and funding the project. During the school year Rotarians will meet with the students to discuss what they are learning and talk to them about what they are learning and how they will use it in the future. Rotarians may also be involved/assist with transportation if needed.
We had this program shown to us at one our lunch meetings this past year. We were impressed by the integration of the YMCA and school district and the impact the program has on the students. We look forward to seeing the results in our community.
Budget:
Instructor Costs (Wages, FICA, Overhead Costs): $3164.42
Milage and Transportation: $67.66
Supplies (volunteer events, celebration materials,snacks): $231.82
