This grant is in the amount of $2000 and is awarded to increase access to <br />cultural opportunities for children in the Foster Care program. <br />This grant is the result of a strong collaboration between Human Services and the Guardian Ad <br />Litem program in an effort to expand and enrich educational opportunities to our foster children, <br />especially those fourteen years and older. This grant has allowed for the following opportunities: <br />• A weekend field trip to Washington D.C. to tour the nation's capital and learn about <br />history and current events, <br />• A trip to a local symphony, <br />• Visits to museums and art shows, <br />• Attendance to a local theater for a play, <br />• Attendance to local concerts <br />These events have helped expand the horizons of our foster children and have truly been an <br />excellent opportunity for our children and our programs. <br />We are most grateful to the Target Corporation for continuing to support our request for funding <br />to provide these cultural opportunities. We will be coordinating again this year with our staff and <br />the Guardian Ad Litem program to develop a plan for activities with the newly awarded grant. <br />Felicia Wilson with the Guardian Ad Litem program has been a truly wonderful partner in this <br />venture. <br />1303 S.
