THE charity hoping to transform the old Swansea Boys Club building into a new community centre say the scheme is on track – but will depend on being able to raise the necessary funds.

The Boys’ and Girls’ Clubs of Wales is looking at transforming the derelict club in Mayhill into a community base with facilities for sports and performing arts, along with a cafe, small-scale cinema, classrooms and offices for rent.

LEAP funding up in the air – THonline.com: Dubuque News

Dubuque Community Schools officials say they feel confident that they will be able to offer Leadership Enrichment After-school Programs this fall, despite funding concerns.

The LEAP program was initially funded by a five-year, $800,000 grant that started the program at Thomas Jefferson and George Washington middle schools, fully funding LEAP at those schools for three years and at a 50 percent level for two years. The Foundation for Dubuque Public Schools later provided some money for programming at Eleanor Roosevelt Middle School.

The grant that initially funded LEAP sunset at the end of the school year, and officials have said the district canat replace the lost funding.

She estimated that LEAP could be offered at the three schools this fall with $75,000 in funding.

She said that, with adequate funding, LEAP once again could offer quality programming, though much of it would be at the schools.

Eric Dregne, vice president of strategic initiatives at Community Foundation of Greater Dubuque, said he thought it was too early to talk about what LEAP might look like in the fall.

One key aspect being figured out is the funding, said Jennifer Klinkhammer, executive director of Foundation for Dubuque Public Schools.

Grants totaling $30,000 were awarded to seven artists and creatives who proposed unique projects designed to positively engage and impact the Covington community through art.

In this round of grants, the projects all focused on the topic of health. This grant will fund six episodes, each featuring a Covington-based artist who is open to discussing their business like they’re talking to a friend.

Cultural Culinary Experience

Recipient: James Payne & Luis Laya

Over the span of two days at the Hellmann Creative Center, Luis Laya and James Payne will help strengthen the Covington community with a cultural culinary experience. Focusing on culinary health and educating the community on different cultural styles of cooking James and Luis strive to find our own cultural identity by embracing the rituals of cooking and eating as a community.

Healthy Mind & Body Day Camp

Recipient: Annie Brown & The Center

The Center partnered with the Kenton County Extension Office, local Westside artists, and contracted with Annie Brown to run a free day camp for elementary aged kids. The kids learned about nutrition, exercise, gardening, composting, did yoga, made healthy popsicles, and lots of other creative projects.

The Center’s Creative Community Grants are funded through a multi-year grant The Center received from The Kresge Foundation to implement creative placemaking activities in Covington.

The Center plans to continue awarding Creative Community Grants in two more rounds over the next year.

The Nonprofit Summit is a strategic discussion event for area nonprofit leaders, civic groups and passionate citizens to come together to exchange ideas, be inspired and build capacity.

We have encouraged area nonprofit leaders, board members and charitable groups serving Dunn County to attend, as well as passionate citizens, as we are all impacted by the vitality of our public sector.

The summit will begin with a panel discussion of the Community Foundation and United Way of Dunn County executive staff and board presidents. To my knowledge, a large strategic discussion hasn’t taken place in Dunn County in over five years, so we felt it was time to bring the people and agencies of Dunn County together to ensure we are all meeting the changing needs of the community effectively, together.

We have gotten a great response for this first event, with over 100 community members registered to attend, so I think based on this response, we’d love to hold similar summits in the future to follow up on the progress we’ve made and to ensure the organizations that serve Dunn County continue to work together to meet the changing needs of the community.

DREAM ACT: Inland students even those awarded grants aren’t using them – Press Enterprise

Dream Act students in Riverside and San Bernardino counties generally mirror the state findings relatively low use of their Cal Grants even after being awarded them.

In both counties, about 75 percent of Dream Act students who apply for Cal Grant aid on time receive the awards. San Bernardino County has declined from 20 percent to 10 percent.

Elizabeth Hilton, director of student aid at Riverside City College, said 1,200 Dream Act students applied for fee waivers for the coming year and 700 were successful. But, she said, of the 101 Cal Grants the state says were awarded, 54 were not used, mostly because the students either didn’t enroll at the college or failed to take more than six units, a requirement for the aid.

She said part of her office’s outreach is specifically targeted to Dream Act students.

“We work very closely with our feeder high schools during the application period,” Hilton said, promoting Dream Act applications when they conduct FAFSA application workshops for students who have citizenship. We have application workshops and a web page specifically for the Dream Act and what resources are available.”

At San Bernardino Valley College, preliminary figures for 2015-2016 show there were 179 Dream Act students who applied for fee waivers. She was a Dream Act student and worked in the undocumented student office on the UCR campus.

As a community college student, Quintero said she received fee waivers.
