Community Recipient: Encompass Child and Family Advocate Program
The Encompass Child and Family Advocate Program works with families who live in poverty enrolled in their centers. Research has shown that children who grow up in poverty have large gaps in school readiness. This can be reversed by high quality early education programs. The Child and Family Advocate Program helps meet a family’s immediate needs, and connects them to community resources to improve their self-sufficiency. This allows their children to remain in Encompass programs, improving their school readiness skills and preparing them for success in kindergarten and beyond. Children who remain in this program for a year show 100 percent gains in literacy, numeracy, social, emotional and physical development, and are ready for school.

The program provides previously untapped opportunities for these students to discover and develop a love for music and dance.

Ukulele Club - The Howard-Suamico School District will use its share of the concert proceeds to create a ukulele club for students at Howard Elementary School, and create a set of traveling ukuleles for elementary music classrooms in other district schools. They hope to introduce every elementary student to the joy of making music, as well as foster a district-wide community of musicians who share expertise with a single, economic and portable instrument.
The UWGB 6:30 Concert Series is designed to connect the UWGB campus with the community through the exploration of music. Performances feature insightful presentations by musicians, composers and special guests. The series offers new perspectives on diverse styles, often exploring the music from multiple angles. The program intends to serve as a gateway for new audiences, improving access to the arts as a whole.
