Describe the Organization's Program Activity:
Part 3 - Line 4a
DUE TO THE 2020 CORNAVIRUS-19 PANDEMIC OUR SERVICES WERE SEVERELY IMPACTED AND WE OPERATED AT BETWEEN 50-75% CAPACITY WITH SOME SERVICES NOT CONTINUING OR NOT RETURNING UNTIL 2021. THE BRIGHT SIDE OPPORTUNITIES CENTER PROVIDES SERVICES TO THE COMMUNITY THROUGH DIRECT SERVICE AND UTILIZATION OF SPACE FOR THE COMMUNITY. THROUGH DIRECT SERVICE WE OPERATED: YOUTH PROGRAMS FOR OVER 200 YOUTH; FITNESS CENTER MEETING THE HEALTH AND FITNESS NEEDS OF OVER 75 MEMBERS (INCLUDING YOUTH); WEEKLY FOOD SHARE PROGRAM WHICH SERVED OVER 2,000 FOOD INSECURE FAMILIES IN OUR COMMUNITY. THROUGH OUR AVAILABILITY OF SPACE, ALONG WITH OUR PARTNERS WE SERVED: THERE WERE NO ESL CLASSES IN PERSON, LAST YEAR BECAUSE OF THE PANDEMIC, THEY WERE SERVICED ONLINE, AND OVER 900 MEN, WOMEN AND CHILDREN RECEIVED HEALTH CARE AND SOCIAL WORK SERVICES THROUGH THE FEDERALLY QUALIFIED HEALTH CENTER IN OUR FACILITY.
AS WE CONTINUED TO GO THROUGH THE PANDEMIC, WE FELT IT IMPORTANT TO REACH OUT TO THE COMMUNITY AND OFFER STEM CAMP ALTHOUGH WE HAD TO DECREASE ATTENDANCE DUE TO RESTRICTIONS ON INDOOR OCCUPANCY. AS OUR YOUTH WERE EXPERIENCING THIS PANDEMIC, WE WERE ABLE TO HOLD OUR ANNUAL STEM (SCIENCE TECHNOOLGY ENGINEERING MATH) CAMP WITH INCREASE SAFETY AND CLEANING PROTOCOLS IN PLACE. IT IS OUR GOAL TO EXPOSE THE STUDENTS TO VARIOUS CAREERS IN THE AREAS OF STEM. WE DID THIS BY FOCUSING ON DIFFERENT DISCIPLINES EACH DAY, WHILE BRINGING BUSINESS AND EDUCATION CLOSER TO THE STUDENTS. WE HAD LOCAL GOVERNMENT AND BUSINESS ASSIST WITH EACH OF THE DAYS VIA ZOOM, AS WE LIMITED IN PERSON INSTRUCTION. ADDITIONALLY, WE ALSO HELD OUR STEM GIRLS AND BOYS LEADERSHIP ACADEMIES AT REDUCED CAPACITY. BOTH PROGRAMS ASSISTED YOUTH IN MIDDLE SCHOOL WITH STEM EXPLORATION, CAREER CONNECTORS, MENTORSHIP, ROBOTICS AND NEW THIS YEAR WE ADDED CODING.
FITNESS CENTERTHE FITNESS CENTER WAS ABLE TO OPERATE THIS YEAR, ALBEIT AT TIMES AT A LIMITED CAPACITY. HOWEVER, MANY OF THE CLASSES WERE ABLE TO RESUME AND BY THE END OF THE YEAR WE WERE UP TO ABOUT 85% CAPACITY. MEMBERSHIP IS ALMOST BACK TO PREPANDEMIC LEVELS. SILVER SNEAKERS ADDED CLASSES THIS YEAR AS WELL AS THE ADDITION OF PICKLEBALL TO OUR SCHEDULE.
