Description

As the agency reported it.

Purpose
The purpose of this program is to increase alignment between workforce and OST programs and to expand job training and workforce pathways for opportunity youth. Activities performed through the camp counselor career catalyst training program (C4), girl scouts of the USA (GSUSA) will use employment at summer girl scout residential (SLEEP-AWAY) camps to deliver scaled workforce development, employment and educational opportunities for historically underserved and marginalized groups, including opportunity youth. The C4 program will accomplish 3 goals: 1) creating a replicable, scalable model for expanding access to employment and training opportunities for underserved young adults with barriers to employment through on-the-job training experiences at camps; 2) expanding national and local partnerships that promote increased alignment between girl scouts and workforce development programs, school systems and employers to ensure sustainability systems level changes that eliminate barriers to employment; and 3) increasing access to work experiences and work readiness skills among a more diverse camp counselor staff to deliver a more equitable, inclusive experience to girl scouts nationally. To accomplish these goals, GSUSA will develop/ disseminate a C4 program toolkit and resource suites for/in partnership with 6 girl scout councils to support career exploration, career counseling, work-based learning, and connections to education and jobs. In tandem, GSUSA will expand national partnerships; identify/secure partners to sustain/scale C4 to a broader group of councils; and equip councils to expand alignment and partnerships with schools, workforce boards, higher education, hbcus, and community partners. Deliverables the C4 program goals are: goal 1: to create a replicable, scalable model for expanding access to employment and training opportunities for underserved older adolescents and young adults with barriers to employment through work-based learning experiences at girl scout SLEEP AWAY camps. Goal 2: to expand national and local partnerships that promote increased alignment between girl scouts and workforce development boards, school systems and employers to ensure sustainable, systems-level changes that eliminate barriers to employment. Goal 3: to increase access to work experiences and work readiness skills among a more diverse camp counselor staff that will deliver a more equitable, inclusive experience to girl scout campers across the country. See detailed outcome targets in the performance outcomes measurement table attachment. GSUSA will collaborate with the cohort councils to develop, pilot, and refine for expansion a C4 program toolkit and resource suites on pre-camp training, supervisor training, diversity training program, and hiring & onboarding that include input from local wioa boards on best practices in operating OST workforce-focused programs. GSUSA will make all resources available in an open-data format, to allow use and replication across state and local partners nationwide and is partnering with ACA to disseminate the tools to the camp industry. GSUSA will provide training and technical assistance to councils to support adoption and implementation of C4. The cohort councils will carry out the following activities: career exploration services, work readiness; career counseling; work experiences and employment placement, education, or training.
