Purpose, leadership structure, and activities. Mission: Heritage Theatre Company (HTC) exists to engage the Central Oregon community in a shared pursuit of understanding and celebrating humanity through the ages; and, to serve as a catalyst for community participation in building a better world today. Structure & Leadership: HTC has three board members representing expertise in education, marketing, and accounting. The executive and artistic director, Janet Kingsley, has extensive experience in arts administration and performance. Janet is a licensed Oregon music teacher who has been a teacher and director of music and drama for most of her life. She has developed the education programming and seasons of productions for Heritage Theatre Company. She fulfilled her final requirement for a Master of Arts degree in arts administration with a Major Paper entitled Arts Education for Students Experiencing Homelessness — A Resiliency Approach. Activities: HTC has just completed a pilot program of Community Arts & Meals described in detail in the enclosed grant report. Providing arts education for marginalized and at -risk students remains the Company's priority. HTC will not resume theatre production until the spring of 2012 in order to focus on two education projects: 1) an expansion of Community Arts & Meals in the upcoming school year,the subject of this grant request; and 2) a subsequent summer Camp Olympus 2011 that includes funded enrollment for 50% of the students with particular reach to the elementary students of Community Arts & Meals. At the two-week Camp Olympus, students explore Ancient Greek customs, art and mythology through living history and arts activities that culminate in a production of Greek myths in the style of Ancient Greek theatre. 2. The proposed project or activity. Heritage Theatre Company is requesting $2,000 of a total budget of $26,102 to support an expansion of its pilot program, Community Arts & Meals for the upcoming school year 09/10-05/11. In-kind commitments of rent, supplies and services to date total $3,444. Program Goals for Expansion: 1. To facilitate Community Arts & Meals for an increased number of disenfranchised families, individuals, youth and children with particular reach to those experiencing homelessness; 2. To partner with meal services and sites that demonstrate a welcoming attitude toward arts program participants and who demonstrate best practices of positive youth development; 3. To offer the arts education in the most optimum spaces available; 4. To add drama and to integrate the arts with world culture themes for the after-school component; 5. To make the program more accessible to unaccompanied teens and second language families. € Activity 1: A continuation of social service referral and enrollment partners to assure that the program is reaching the most in -need students; continued membership and monthly meetings at the Homeless Leadership Council. Deschutes County Economic Development Heritage Theatre Company Expansion of Community Arts & Meals June 29, 2010 € Activity 2: An increase in translating services and bi-lingual mentors through Bend Comunidad Latina, the Oregon Leadership Institute of Central Oregon Community and selected parents to fully communicate with Spanish-speaking parents. (Written materials in several languages will continue to be translated through free on-line sources.) HTC's web -site is currently being revamped to include an automatic Spanish language translation. € Activity 3: The addition of the following after-school sites for eight weekly classes in visual arts and drama integrated with four world culture themes. (Two smaller groups of children will rotate for an hour each of drama and visual arts each week.) • Jewell Elementary School for their 2nd Language and in -need students. This added location will increase the number of Latino and other 2"d language elementary student enrollment: though our pilot program included capacity enrollment of 15 students from Jewell Elementary, according to the school's Family Access Network liaison and the 2"d language teacher, many other Jewell students could not attend due to lack of transportation home; enrollment of 25-30 elementary students is projected. Snacks and final -session meal will be provided by the school with student supervision by Heritage Theatre Company (HTC) staff. • Campfire Boys & Girls for their students ages 5 —13. The location, Summit Park, is a rental complex for low-income, working families across the street from Ensworth Elementary -a non -bus school (66.82% free or reduced lunch); projected enrollment is 24 elementary and middle school students. After each class, family meals will be provided by the Campfire Girls & Boys with student supervision by HTC and CG&B staff. • East Campus of the Deschutes Children's Foundation for elementary students on early - release Wednesdays. This location has a large, sunny, dividable room and kitchen and is located across the street from Ensworth Elementary- a non -bus school. Through a partnership with the American Culinary Federation's Child/Chef program, cooking will be integrated with the world culture arts themes on a weekly basis and a family meal will be prepared by the students and chefs for the final session; projected enrollment is 25 -30 elementary students. • Des Chutes Historical Museum, a new location for the program's continued service for students from Bear Creek Elementary (65.8% free & reduced lunch) and Juniper Elementary (63.9%) and for those students with parent transportation. The Museum is across the street from the Family Kitchen meal service. The large classroom will easily accommodate anticipated enrollment of 20 - 24 students. Students will be accompanied to and from the arts location and during the meals by HTC program director and assistant. (Due to the time constraint of the bus arrivals and the availability of only one room, drama will not be offered at this location.) €Activity 4: A change in the teen drama program from 15 classes in a less teen -frequented neighborhood, to four eight-week sessions of Teen Theatre in a downtown location culminating in a production. Family Kitchen meals are held at the downtown Trinity Episcopal Church. The downtown area is a popular "hang-out" for unaccompanied teens and many regularly attend the Family Kitchen meals. The Teen Theatre classes will be held on the church site in the sanctuary of St. Helen's Hall directly after the meals. This component of the expansion is made possible through a partnership with the youth program of the church. This secular program will include middle and high school age youth from all socio-economic backgrounds, including the church youth group, Deschutes County Economic Development 2 Heritage Theatre Company Expansion of Community Arts & Meals June 29, 2010 with particular reach to unaccompanied teens. Resiliency research has shown that at -risk teens do better in heterogeneous socioeconomic groups. With the combination of heterogeneous grouping, a youth -friendly food site with established street -teen frequency in a downtown area that is the "living" space for Bend street teens, enrollment of 25 consistent students is anticipated including at least 8 previously enrolled Community Arts & Meals teens and at least 10 additional unaccompanied or in -need teens. The youth director, paid by the church, will assist the HTC director with all classes. The church's youth group will pay tuition to cover their half of the rental fee. (Neither their tuition nor their half of the rental fee/payment is included in the budget.) € Activity 5: Intergenerational Visual Arts offered for two eight week sessions following the Family Kitchen Meal across the street at the Des Chutes Historical Museum. The large classroom is easily accessible to the homeless teens, families and individuals who eat dinner at the Family Kitchen. Projected enrollment is at least 14-18 regularly attending students and many irregularly attending "drop-in" students. € Activity 6: Culminating events include end -of -session exhibits & performances for parents and friends in each of the elementary student sites; a winter intergenerational exhibit in a community venue; and the spring Teen Theatre spring production. These events are particularly significant to our students in terms of the "rules, roles and risks" that are part of preparing and presenting a public event: students must work within an orderly and structured framework in a variety of roles ranging from marketing to performance to ultimately experience the risk of personal achievement and public review {Brice Heath}. 3. Timeline & Schedule: please see attached chart. 4. Explain how the proposed project or activity will impact the community's economic health. Families and individuals in poverty, particularly those who are experiencing homelessness, have the greatest need for the resiliency benefits that arts processes can provide and have the least means to transportation or money to pay for out-of-school arts classes. The pilot program of Community Arts & Meals was based on extensive research of arts education, social science and positive youth development studies as well as personal interviews with directors of arts programs across the country for those experiencing homelessness and poverty. Studies of the effects of community arts education on children and youth in poverty and those at -risk of school failure or criminal actions have proven that the arts, if taught with a mastery approach, can build and sustain the resiliency factors of self-esteem and self- efficacy; emotional and social skills including verbal and non-verbal communication, adaptive distancing and empathy; creative and critical thinking toward problem -solving {Wright, Heath, Schrock, Ramachandran, Bernard, Rapp-Paglicci, Stone}. There has been recognition by numerous homeless education authors of the importance of "creative activities" and the development of "special abilities/talents" {Reed -Victor, Stronge, Penuel}. Through the pilot program, we have gained first hand observation that a well-run community arts program, with plenty of dedicated staff and volunteers, does truly facilitate these resiliency effects. Children: The expanded after-school program and subsequent summer Camp Olympus 2011 are being Deschutes County Economic Development Heritage Theatre Company Expansion of Community Arts & Meals June 29, 2010 planned as a follow-through effort to "keep tabs" on our pilot elementary students and to make sure they have a continual source of arts education and reinforcement of their sense of self -value. Teens: The teens in the pilot program developed what they most yearn for — friendships and belonging to a group. The young group of artists and actors developed true comradery and trust through their common interests in art and drama. They received recognition for their special talents from parents, friends and program staff. They will need this sense of self as they become young adults in the job market. The expanded program's renewed effort to reach unaccompanied teens while at the same time helping other "at -risk" teens to stay involved with positive peer activity can help to solve a major concern in the Bend community. Adults: Personal observation (though not scientific proof) confirmed that the pilot program's adult students were definitely more prepared for and receptive to employment in terms of confidence, life skills and social skills at the end of the session than they had been at the beginning. Students gradually began to call if they couldn't make a class or were going to be late. Two adult students found employment using related art skills and two found housing during the course of the art classes. One student, who designed the flyer for our exhibit, will be serving her community service time for Judge Tiktin by doing work for our organization. Another accomplished seamstress will be volunteering as costumer for the Teen Theater. A past construction worker on disability who lives in a shelter and who discovered in our classes that he has a talent in visual art was introduced to Cascade Theatrical Company to volunteer painting and set -work: while not a paying job, the use of his abilities in a group is more likely to lead to a job than living in isolation. Several adults confided that attending the classes was a "life-saver" in their otherwise hectic and insecure lives. It is anticipated that many more adults will connect to the community during the upcoming year as a natural outgrowth of the program's resiliency approach to arts education and as opportunities present themselves to the students and staff. In its third year of operation, Community Arts & Meals will be able to concentrate on developing a specific branch of the program dedicated to aligning with employers to gain arts -related jobs for its students. For the period of this grant application, however, the program's primary focus remains the fostering of each student's innate resiliency traits through arts processes for the purpose of self-discovery and personal fulfillment. 5. Identify the specific communities or groups that will benefit. Bend's At -Risk Children: There are no certified visual arts or drama instructors, nor is there any district time requirement for these art genres in any of the Bend -La Pine public elementary schools {Nordquist- Elementary Curriculum Director}. A Community Arts & Meals pilot program assessment survey indicated that very few of our students had previous arts experiences. Yet under the tutelage of a gifted teacher, all of the pilot students showed great care and reflection, tremendous focus and attention, very often exceptional ability and creative thinking, and always excitement and joy in creating art. The students did not want the classes to end. Heritage Theatre Company will be adapting Baltimore Clayworks "Measuring Joy" survey to try to try to evaluate the importance of the arts to our students and the meaning it holds for them. Student enrollment included a high proportion of Hispanic/Latino children. Deschutes County Economic Development 4 Heritage Theatre Company Expansion of Community Arts & Meals June 29, 2010 In the proposed expansion, there is a more comprehensive effort to accommodate Spanish-speaking families described in "Activity 2." Bend's Teens: At the monthly meetings of the Homeless Leadership Coalition, one of the main topics for problem -solving is the plight of Bend's growing number of homeless teens who live on streets, in encampments and caves. The pilot program of Community Arts & Meals attracted eight of these "street teens" in short spurts of attendance as well as ten consistently attending teens from low-income families. Plans to increase and stabilize enrollment of unaccompanied teens, to maintain the interest of the pilot students from low-income families through an inclusive, comprehensive Teen Theatre program are described in "Activity 4 & 5." Intergenerational: The intergenerational classes of the pilot program proved to be true "community arts" experiences attracting mothers and grandmothers with their adult, teen or grade school children, teen brothers with their little sisters, lone middle schoolers who made new friends, Big Brothers Big Sisters who brought their "tittles," single men and women in their 50's from shelters who found a source of comradery and a place to focus on learning. The breadth of fellowship, support, focus, reflection, dedication and voracious appetite to create and share art among these students ages 6 — 70 demonstrated that the program certainly reduced isolation and increased social skills; facilitated practice in dependability and promptness; increased self-esteem and self-discovery; fostered creative and critical thinking; released humor and personal points of view; and increased knowledge of art styles and skills. Survey results indicated that the students enjoyed being part of an intergenerational setting. Due to these successes, the number of intergenerational visual arts classes is increased in the expansion plan. See "Activity 5." 6. Please see Program Budget for Arts Costs of the Program. It is the intent of Heritage Theatre Company that Community Arts & Meals will be sustainable for many years. In addition to community support, possibilities for program and student income and student business experience from small business ventures in organic gardening or sellable crafts are ideas that we need to fully research in the coming year.

The program would target both English Language Learners as well as those students who are in financial need. The principal, Bruce Reynolds, has granted approval for this class to be held here on-site at the school. Fifteen of our students, grades 2-5, are enrolled in the arts class that is currently in session, held in another location. They leave Tuesday after school so excited to attend the class and return Wednesday morning enthralled by what they had practiced the previous afternoon with the art teacher. This opportunity that they have been given has been amazing! I have worked with English Language Learners for over ten years now and in that time, I have noticed how they come to school with little experience in regards to coloring, drawing or even the confidence to want to approach trying to create a picture. They do not have art supplies in their homes, much less the ability to have private art classes. The smiles on their faces, however, reflect what a special time this past month has been for them. Not one of them takes these classes for granted or would ever want to miss a session. The leaders of this program are truly exceptional people and we are very lucky to have them live in our community and be so giving of their time to those less fortunate. This is an excellent program and I sincerely hope that it will be funded next year.

Family Kitchen serves meals to individuals and families in need, and we are delighted that we can be a part of the Heritage program. The arts program has helped us serve children who probably would not have taken advantage of the free meals we offer, and their parents have learned about another resource in the community to help them stretch their own finances. The arts instructors have done an excellent job supervising the children, and Janet Kingsley has done an outstanding job keeping us informed and acting on our input. We are seeing positive results from this collaboration, and Family Kitchen wholeheartedly supports Heritage Theatre Company in its efforts to continue and to grow their programs. Sincerely, Donna Thayer President, Family Kitchen Board of Trustees Trinity Episcopal Church May 12, 2010 Re: Teen Theater program to be held at Trinity Episcopal Church Dear Grant Panel, I have been in conversation with Janet Kingsley regarding the marvelous idea of having a Teen Theater program run on the campus of Trinity Episcopal Church. It is very much in keeping with our mission and goals to make space available to organizations seeking'to serve others. My role in this endeavor is both as Family Ministries Leader at Trinity and as a Board Member for Family Kitchen. The opportunity to foster community in kids from the church and kids from the streets is great with this program. There are several teens regularly getting their Tuesday and Thursday meals at Family Kitchen whom we'd love to see doing something positive and empowering after the meal.

The OLI mentor program at COCC offers college and high school students opportunities to learn valuable leadership skills. Students learn to provide guidance and act as role models for high school and middle school students involved in the program. Mentors also plan and facilitate adventure -based experiential learning activities to teach skills and facilitate discussions in leadership, team building, conflict resolution, culture and heritage, attitude & personal responsibility, and public speaking. In November 2010, we will offer a full-day Saturday session on the theme, Culture and Heritage, as we do every year. This year, we anticipate enhancing our program by inviting Janet Kingsley to give our students a taste of "Community Arts". In addition to creating art together, we are especially eager to learn how our students may be able to mentor Spanish-speaking youth and families as a community service project. Since our students place a high value on giving back to their community, we believe that a partnership with Heritage Theatre Company will benefit both programs.

We have been serving the needs of our local boys and girls, ages three to 21, and their families since 1916. We offer a variety of programming that works. Our research based programs promote compassion, stewardship, academic achievement, community building, celebrating and honoring diversity, and fostering strong, confident leadership skills in youth. We guide and support youth in learning to care, contribute, connect and camp through our traditional club program, self-reliance courses, various outdoor opportunities, summer camps, and service -learning projects. As we reach our second century of positive youth programming, our work has never been more relevant or important. We are embarking on a new after-school program to start in September 2010 at the site of Summit Park, an apartment complex for low-income workforce families. Space will be donated to our program to serve the families of the Summit Park renters. Our organization welcomes the opportunity for professional visual arts and theatre arts training to be offered to our students in our donated space through a partnership with Heritage Theatre Company's "Community Arts & Meals" program. Our organization will provide the after -class family soup, bread & salad meals. We look forward to a continuing partnership with this arts organization. incerely, Christine Brousseau Executive Director Camp Fire USA Central Oregon United.

I enjoyed volunteering as a teacher assistant for the Thursday after-school Community Arts & Meals classes and look forward to participating again. The program was well executed by Heritage Theatre Company's director. The visual arts teacher, Karen Williams, proved to be an amazing instructor and able to inspire the children's art skills and creative abilities. The benefit to these elementary students was evident in their concentration, enthusiasm and joy in the classes and the great turn -out of families at the students' exhibits. I look forward to working with many of these same children from economically disadvantaged backgrounds as a teacher at Camp Olympus. I'II be able to use my expertise in making jewelry to work with the children in designing mosaics during their voyage to the Underworld and in making "goddess" adornments during the days devoted to the study of the Olympian gods. My experience with Heritage Theatre Company will have come full circle with Camp Olympus as I helped with costumes (including the creation of mermaid tails) for their production of the opera, "Alceste" in their first year of production. Since then, my husband and I have been regular attendees at of Heritage Theatre Company's outstanding theatrical productions which are always well done and entertaining.

Dear Heritage Theatre Company, This letter confirms that I will provide volunteer translation services for Community Arts & Meals 2010-2011 and Camp Olympus 2011. My daughter, Arianna, greatly enjoyed the Community Arts & Meals visual art classes this year and is looking forward to future arts education with Heritage Theatre Company. The program will also benefit from my new website, Bend Comunidad Latina, that serves as an information service for Spanish-speaking and bi-lingual members of our community.
