Organization Overview: Founded in the summer of 1993, the Weld County Youth Conservation Corps (WCYCC) is a locally generated program of Weld County government that operates under the Employment Services division of the Department of Human Services. WCYCC grew out of local interest to expand opportunities for youth which would allow them to develop job skills, be exposed to positive attitudes towards community service, and participate in meaningful work that produces tangible benefits for Weld County. Since 1993, WCYCC has served youth and young adults, ages 14-25, by providing them with meaningful service opportunities in the areas of conservation and community service. Over the course of the past 27 years WCYCC has grown from one eight -person crew to two full-time and four summer programs. The WCYCC umbrella includes the operation of an AmeriCorps grant. WCYCC's AmeriCorps program is fortunate to receive federal support from the Corporation for National and Community Service thanks to a statewide grant received by the Colorado Youth Corps Association (CYCA) on behalf of eight accredited Youth Corps in Colorado. WCYCC AmeriCorps members, between the ages 17-25, commit to a term of service ranging from eight weeks in duration to nine months. While serving an AmeriCorps term of service members earn a living stipend and develop critical employment related skills and values to use in their future workforce pursuits. Upon successful completion of a term of service, members earn a Segal Education Award that ranges from $1,289.95 to $4,266.50, contingent upon their term of service, to use toward post -secondary education within seven years. Budget Overview: We have found that the Colorado Safety Association provides a six -hour Defensive Driving Course that we can enhance to include Coaching the Van Driver and Weather Hazards. The cost of this course would be $1,125.00 for up to 15 participants, $35.00 additional per each non-member. If utilizing the grant towards the cost of membership the class will cost $925.00 for up to 15 participants and $32.00 additional per each non-member. The cost of membership for the Colorado Safety Association is $299.00. Weld County anticipates no more than 15 participants for the training, which would result in a total cost of $1,125.00 or $1,224.00 with the membership. Membership with the Colorado Safety Council would further benefit the WYCCC by providing First Aid and CPR/AED training to all crew members during the year. This would reduce cost for additional safety trainings. First Aid and CPR/AED training prepare crew members for any emergency they encounter while on the road, making crew members more likely to stop and help any civilian in need of help, further increasing public safety. The cost for this course with membership is $790.00 for 1-10 students plus $32.00 for each additional student. Maximizing the class size to 15 will cost an additional $160. Membership: $299.00 Defensive Driving, Coaching the Van Driver, and Weather Hazards: $925.00 First Aid/CPR and AED: $950.00 Total amount requested: $2,174.00 Program Overview: Within WCYCC there are varying degrees of responsibility carried by members. While crew leaders are generally responsible for safe transportation of members, crew members are at times asked to drive vehicles and assume an equal amount of responsibility. Currently the process for determining the most qualified individual is based on a Motor Vehicle Report, experience, and an evaluation completed by a currently authorized employee. The County used to provide a Coaching the Van Driver course to all County employees, but this program is no longer offered. AmeriCorps members are not considered full-time County employees and therefore do not have access to County -offered trainings.. The primary objective in receiving grant funding will be to provide relevant and comprehensive driver training to all members of WCYCC that might be expected to drive a County vehicle. Not only will long-standing crew leaders be required to take the training; any member that expresses the intent or the ability to drive will benefit from a course on safe driving skills. With the inclusion of First Aid and CPR/AED training crew members will contribute to overall public safety on and off the road. Because the primary demographics of our crew members are young and inexperienced the impacts of this course will reach far beyond a workplace setting. This training will provide our youth with skills to drive safer in their community and be more prepared to handle emergency medical situations. The vehicles used to travel between project locations are highly visible and recognizable by the Weld County logo. Upon completion of this course, we will run social media awareness and a County Newsletter article to highlight the importance Weld County places on safe driving. Community members that identify our vehicles can rest assured that we are diligently committed to keeping our members, and the community safe. Upon completion of this course we expect that members have a greater understanding of their impact on the community, their peers, and themselves while driving. This course will reinforce WCYCC's high standard of safety that we continually strive to improve. Additionally, this training will contribute to the roots of our program that prepare our youth for the workforce, not only achieving a certificate, but also establishing a safety -centered culture that members will carry with them throughout their careers. Members' driving ability and behaviors as well as their emergency medical knowledge will be evaluated before and after the course in order to determine the effectiveness of these courses in addressing our desire to highlight safety at the forefront of our operations.
