1 Human Services Career Program (HSCP) General Description May 2015 Chilliwack Society for Community Living
2 HUMAN SERVICES CAREER PROGRAM (HSCP) BACKGROUND In Chilliwack, a significant percentage of the inner city school population consists of students from First Nations communities both on and off reserve and students from working poor families. One of the challenges facing Chilliwack Secondary School (CSS) in 2013/14 was a relatively low grade twelve graduation rate of 84% in comparison to the same year s provincial average of 94% (BC Ministry of Education, 2014). In addition, the graduation rate for Aboriginal students was 73% in comparison to 88% provincially 1. While graduation rates were higher in the four preceding years among the general and Aboriginal population groups, these figures do not provide information about students who may not have successfully transferred into the higher grades or left school prior to graduation. In 2013, the Chilliwack Social Planning and Research Council commissioned a study (Watson, Dow & Bryce, 2013) for the purpose of examining the causes of these lower school completion rates. Following a survey completed by 2,933 of a possible 4,844 middle and high school students in Chilliwack, an important factor determining academic outcomes correlated with the number of adults that students felt they could talk to if they had a problem. A recommendation to implement targeted programs aimed at increasing levels of connectedness using a whole school approach was made. Similar findings were noted by Chou, Kwee, Lees, Firth, Floren et al (2015) through a Youth Participatory Action study involving students who were already disengaged from mainstream education and who were attending alternative education programs. Following in depth interviews with this vulnerable cohort it was determined that being noticed and mattering to adults made a considerable difference to students likelihood of staying in school. Following several years of focused planning involving Chilliwack Secondary School, Ministry for Children and Family Development, Big Brothers Big Sisters, Chilliwack social services agencies, and the University of the Fraser Valley, the Human Services Career Program proposed in this document offers a targeted strategy for increasing school connectedness and school engagement for students and their families in the Chilliwack area. PROGRAM DESCRIPTION The Human Services Career Program (HSCP) is a multi-faceted applied learning initiative being developed with CSS in partnership with the Ministry for Children and Family Development, the University of the Fraser Valley, and other Chilliwack social service agencies. This pilot program will enable a cohort of high school students to experience academic programming focussed on human services subject matter (psychology, leadership, mentoring, family management, social justice and law), 1 Figures based on 2013/14 Eligible Grade 12 Graduation category located on BC Ministry of Education website. This category refers to [t]he proportion of eligible-to-graduate Grade 12 students who graduated in that school year. Students are eligible to graduate if they have enrolled in sufficient courses to meet the requirements to graduate during that school year.
3 along with core coursework to satisfy BC Ministry of Education standards. An outline of the program curriculum can be viewed in Appendix A. In addition to a focus on human services, HSCP will offer off time table extra -curricular skills training and service learning to augment classroom education. Building on the current Work Experience Program (WEX) model operating as a core BC Educational curriculum component, the HSCP will contribute specific skills training and community-based service learning experiences through engagement with social agencies and inner city feeder schools in Chilliwack. Students will be involved in tutoring and mentoring of elementary children, assisting with the delivery of psycho-educational and social emotional learning programs in classrooms, providing community education and mental health literacy to students and parents, and engaging in youth participatory action research (See Appendix B for descriptions of service learning positions). The result is to offer an intricate weaving of class work and community work due to the comprehensive and integrated nature of this initiative. Beginning September 2015, the first cohort of thirty (30) students will be identified and accepted into the HSCP as students transition from grades nine to ten. High school students continue through to grade twelve as a cohort with the first group expected to graduate in spring A major criterion for acceptance into the HSCP program includes demonstrated promise as a natural helper (leadership, good listening skills, helpfulness, compassion). High school students showing these qualities but perhaps discouraged by a core academic subject area such as math or writing, will receive tutoring assistance from UFV students as required. UFV students will be integral to the program through involvement as mentors, co-facilitators, presenters, tutors, and role models. Initially, the HSCP cohort will be connected to a cohort of fifteen (15) UFV students chosen from Health Sciences, Teacher Education, Social Work, Child, Youth and Family Studies, and Criminology. These students will co-train off time table (eight Saturdays a year) and join in service learning projects at inner city feeder schools and social agencies connected to CSSS (See Appendix C for Human Services Career Program Off- Time Table Training Schedule). As the program will be implemented to its full capacity over three years, resulting in participation from 90 high school and 45 university students, a positive impact on school culture (reduced bullying, fewer students falling through the cracks, more engaged learning experiences, greater connectedness) is anticipated. UFV students will be supported through skills development training, along with supervision and mentorship from professionals in the field. They will also be able to obtain reference letters and certificates in one or more areas including peer counselling, mental health and substance use literacy, and specific prevention programs to be offered in the inner city schools. These learning experiences will provide a chance for UFV students to clarify career goals, contribute to community development, and make valuable contacts in a network of community services. Given the integrated nature of this initiative, among recipients to benefit from this program are also the students and families of area elementary and middle schools identified as inner city. This includes students of aboriginal background who will be integrated at all levels of the program elementary, high school, and university. It is also hoped that CSSS students will have an increased capacity to view
4 themselves as post-secondary students, viewing UFV as their school of choice due to the support and exposure they received through the HSCP. HSCP PROGRAM GOALS AND OBJECTIVES For the High School Student: Enhance Student Engagement at School - Create a safe and supported learning community - Increase concentration in course work and studies related to Human Services - Involve students in related work experience - Provide off timetable activities Increase School Completion Rates - Provide tutoring and mentoring - Expose students to university opportunities at a younger age - Integrate university student role models and expand academic program offerings Promote Social Responsibility among K-2 and University Students - Increase cultural and social awareness among students - Raise awareness of careers in the human service field - Offer psycho-social /social emotional skills training - Coordinate service learning opportunities in the community Community Improvement - increased sense of community connectedness and place attachment 2 - enhanced sense of community safety - improved mental health and substance use literacy ANTICIPATED AGENCY INTEGRATION The HSCP will promote increased coordination of Community Health and Welfare Agencies, First Nations community programs and the school system. Working alongside and as part of the HSCP, a recently opened Youth Health Clinic located in a wing of the CSS, the Neighborhood Learning Centre, will be offering free integrated health and wellness services to youth, young adults, and emerging adults on a drop in basis. 2 Place attachment refers to the extent to which an individual senses that he or she is affiliated with and dependent on a place (or similar places). Place identity appears to be integral to place dependence, both in terms of the functional utility of place features themselves and the individual s sense of identification with the place (Codington-Lacerte, 2013, p.1). In other words, when someone has a high sense of place attachment, they have an increase in sense of responsibility, ownership of the surrounding environment, and a loyalty and desire to preserve and improve it. When place attachment is low, the common spaces are more likely to fall into dis-repair, are neglected, and abused. It is also conceivable that place attachment can contribute to the reduction of transiency rates among vulnerable families.
5 Under the auspices of Big Brothers Big Sisters, UFV university school students will be screened and validated to mentor high school students and participate in off timetable training with a high school student cohort. Area principals from CSSS feeder schools have been consulted and welcome UFV and high school student engagement and area community agencies to support vulnerable students. The University of the Fraser Valley will facilitate the recruiting of university students for key volunteer opportunities related to the HSCP, facilitate engage of high school students on campus, deliver one or more dual credit courses to the high school cohort, facilitate faculty engagement in community educational opportunities, and provide access to its facilities. FUNDING AND START UP NEEDS The HSCP advisory committee is seeking funding sources and program partners to obtain start-up costs to ensure stable funding is in place. It is also seeking funding to cover off time-table activities that will involve recruiting, screening, training, supervising and evaluating university students who are involved as volunteers in the program. Big Brothers, Big Sisters of the Fraser Valley have the skills and knowledge for this work and have submitted a grant to the Vancouver Foundation for coordinating this program component. In addition, a funding request has been made to Chilliwack s Social Research and Planning Council to establish an evaluation framework. Various in-kind donations are being set in place through the provision of space, human resources and other forms of instrumental support. REFERENCES BC Ministry of Education (2014).
