Project Description Country: USA Location: Boise, Idaho Total Budget: $18,800 Area of Focus: Basic education and literacy Activity Type: Education: General Summary: Boise Students from low-income families comprise 30 to 40 percent of students in the Boise School District. A large percentage of these youth do not graduate. Students who fail to graduate or achieve post-high school training are frequently unprepared for the workplace and are especially vulnerable to negative influences. They become a breeding ground for the social and economic issues being experienced in Treasure Valley of Idaho communities. This is a serious problem As cooperators in Everyday Leadership, Rotarians from the Boise Metro and Sunrise Rotary Clubs work with teachers and counselors from the Boise School District in offering experiences that build students' self-confidence and provide them with training in life skills such as leadership behaviors, teamwork, effective communication, conflict resolution, and decision making. Classes are taught by public school teachers and YMCA instructors. Throughout the school year, Rotarians lead discussions where they show interest in what the students are learning and how they are applying their new skills. As incentives, Rotarians support recreational activities that are normally out of the reach of these students. Rotarians assist in community service projects that are completed by the students in neighborhoods near the schools. The Rotary Clubs of Boise Metro and Boise Sunrise contribute funds to support participation by instructors from the YMCA and to provide stipends for teachers from the Boise School District. Rotarians monitor outcomes such as attendance and participation accelerated learning and extracurricular leadership activities. This grant would implement Everyday Leadership at four low-income elementary schools, (Hillcrest, Garfield, Hawthorne, and Koelsch). Approximately 80 students will participate in the 2025-26 School Year. Estimated project costs are $18,800. Twenty-four Rotarians will be involved. Everyday Leadership has proven to be highly effective.

Pls reconcile these figures. We'd like to see more detail in your spending plan, such as the number of hours x the rate for YMCA staff, teachers and counselors. You could upload correspondence from the Y, for example, explaining what you'll receive from them for $15,000. For a project of these size, we'd like to see a little more due diligence in tying down the expected costs. There's nothing in the plan that shows us why your budget items are what they are. You've been doing this project for many years and should be able to more acutely detail your anticipated expenses. 17-Apr-25 by Robert P Rainville System Entry: Project reverted to "Published". 17-Apr-25 by Robert P Rainville System Entry: Project is now "Fully Pledged". 17-Apr-25 by Robert P Rainville System Entry: Project reverted to "Published". 17-Apr-25 by Robert P Rainville System Entry: Project is now "Fully Pledged". 17-Apr-25 by Robert P Rainville System Entry: Project reverted to "Published". 17-Apr-25 by Robert P Rainville System Entry: Pledge of $3,600 with $3,600 DDF by Cornelia Sprung of the Rotary Club of Boise Metro, District 5400. 17-Apr-25 by Robert P Rainville System Entry: Project is now "Fully Pledged". 22-Apr-25 by Robert P Rainville System Entry: Project sent for club signatures. 22-Apr-25 System Entry System Entry: Project signed by Robert P Rainville. 23-Apr-25 System Entry System Entry: Project signed by Steve Banick. 25-Apr-25 System Entry System Entry: Project signed by Cornelia Sprung. 17-Jul-25 by Ines Crespo The Rotary Foundation approved the District 5400 block grant on July 15, 2024.
