Describe the Organization's Program Activity:
Part 3 - Line 4a
ONLINE SUMMER PROGRAM: INSTEAD OF RUNNING OUR TRADITIONAL IN-PERSON SUMMER PROGRAM, WE RAN OUR SECOND ONLINE SUMMER PROGRAM DUE TO COVID-19. THIS WAS A WEEK-LONG OPPORTUNITY FOR 75 PARTICIPANTS TO ENGAGE IN CONVERSATION AND LEARNING, WITH THE GOAL OF DEVELOPING PERSONAL FAITH JOURNEYS, CULTURAL HUMILITY, AND AN ETHIC OF SERVICE. TWO TEAMS FOCUSED ON "INDIGENOUS COMMUNITIES TODAY," AND "ENVIRONMENTAL & HOUSING JUSTICE," CONNECTING PARTICIPANTS WITH SSP'S PARTNER COMMUNITIES. THEY HEARD FROM LOCAL EXPERTS DURING COMMUNITY CROSSING ACTIVITIES. DUE TO RECEIVING ANOTHER PPP FORGIVABLE LOAN, WE WERE ABLE TO OFFER SUMMER EMPLOYMENT TO 14 YOUNG ADULTS WHO IMPLEMENTED THIS PROGRAM.
SACRAMENTO PROGRAMS: RESUMING IN APRIL 2021, WEEKLY VOLUNTEERS SPENT WEDNESDAY MORNINGS REPAIRING HOMES IN RANCHO CORDOVA. IN TOTAL, 119 VOLUNTEER DAYS WERE INVESTED INTO HOME REPAIR DURING THE SECOND HALF OF THE YEAR. THIS INCLUDES PAINTING PROJECTS, FENCE REPLACEMENT, YARD WORK, AND DECK AND STAIR CONSTRUCTION FOR LOW-INCOME FAMILIES. RETURNING TO HANDS-ON SERVICE PROJECTS AFTER A YEAR-LONG PAUSE DURING THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC WAS A HUGE STEP TOWARDS A SAFE RETURN TO IN-PERSON PROGRAMS.
LUKACHUKAI SCHOOL SUPPLIES DRIVE: SSP SUPPORTERS CONTRIBUTED $18,000 WORTH OF SCHOOL SUPPLIES THAT WERE ASSEMBLED IN SACRAMENTO BY VOLUNTEERS AND SSP STAFF INTO 300 BACKPACKS FOR OUR COMMUNITY PARTNERS AT THE LUKACHUKAI CHAPTER HOUSE IN THE NAVAJO NATION. 25 BACKPACKS FOR EACH GRADE, 1-12, WERE FILLED WITH GRADE-APPROPRIATE SCHOOL SUPPLIES. OUR CONTACT, THE CHAPTER PRESIDENT, DISTRIBUTED THEM LOCALLY VIA A DRIVE-THROUGH PICKUP DAY. THIS WAS AN IMPORTANT WAY TO STAY CONNECTED WITH OUR PARTNERS TO MEET LOCAL NEEDS WHILE SERVING REMOTELY.
THESE EXPENSES ARE A COMBINATION OF GENERAL PROGRAM COSTS, WHICH ARE NOT ABLE TO BE BROKEN OUT INTO THE DIFFERENT PROGRAM CATEGORIES, AS WELL AS SMALLER PROGRAMS WE RUN.
