Marketing/Communications: <br />Expand marketing/promotional efforts into the Nepali and other groups living in the <br />o <br />area- Karen culture makes up only about 25% of the population residing at the <br />apartment complex <br />Make extra effort to connect with the Nepali families; form new relationships with key <br />o <br />community contacts, utilize the HS Nepali group, etc. <br />Communication with parents/families was difficult at times- utilizing staff that spoke <br />o <br />Karen and familiar with families/apartment was essential- continue to find staff <br />members that already have those connections with families and speak their language <br />was very helpful <br />Do not market to families too early- easily forgotten; continue to offer “registration <br />o <br />nights/days” a few weeks prior to the program <br />Curriculum/Activities <br />Set expectations and format of the program/daily agenda early on <br />o <br />Difficult to round kids up at times and/or participate in certain activities, especially <br />o <br />when it was hot; continue to find new innovative and creative ways to keep all age <br />groups engaged <br />Utilize staff numbers- split groups up based upon what activities youth were interested <br />o <br />in (some were just wanting to play on the playground, while other wanted to participate <br />in arts & crafts and group games) <br />Continue to offer a field trip at the end of the program - possibility of multiple field trips- <br />o <br />youth who attended final field trip expressed their excitement as it was their first time <br />ever doing something like that <br /> <br />Evaluation: <br />Program evaluation was an ongoing process based on participant satisfaction and staff observations <br />throughout the program. Based on interactions with participants and staff feedback, we view the first <br />year of the Rec Connect program as a success. We had nearly 200 interactions, with an average of 21 <br />youth attending each day- often with repeated attendance. For many youth in attendance, this was their <br />first experience with “organized recreation.” Each day, staff viewed participant’s joy and excitement, as <br />they participated in new games, arts and crafts and other activities; created new relationships with staff <br />and their peers. <br /> <br />Based on the first year, we hope to continue to utilize staff feedback and program observations in order <br />to make improvements and continue to expand the Rec Connect program. <br /> <br /> <br />Submitted by: <br />Lake Johnson – Recreation Program Supervisor <br />Lauren Deal – Recreation Superintendent <br /> <br />
