29 FAMILY WALK-IN PROGRAM: IN ADDITION TO SPECIFIC PROGRAMMING EFFORTS, BCCE CONTINUES TO SEE THE NEED FOR "JUST-IN-TIME" SUPPORTS. AS A RESULT OF THE FEDERAL GRANT MONIES RECEIVED IN THE LAST TWO QUARTERS OF 2013, BCCE HAS BEEN ABLE TO EXPAND ITS OFFICE HOURS ALONG WITH HOURS FOR "FAMILY WALK-IN" FROM MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY. THE FAMILY WALK-IN PROGRAM IS AIMED AT SUPPORTING IMMEDIATE NEEDS AND CONCERNS OF FAMILIES. THUS, THERE ARE A RANGE OF ISSUES ADDRESSED FROM TRANSLATING MAIL, TO SCHOOLING ISSUES, TO HOUSING CONCERNS, TO MEDICAL AND HEALTH CONCERNS, TO MORE COMPLEX FAMILY MATTERS THAT REQUIRE ONGOING SUPPORT. IN THE LAST TWO QUARTERS OF 2013, A FEW MAIN AREAS OF CONCERN HAVE EMERGED AS MOST PRESSING IN THE BROADER COMMUNITY INCLUDING UNDERSTANDING OF AND ENROLLMENT IN THE HEALTH CARE MARKETPLACE, GENERAL SOCIAL SUPPORTS, AND IMMIGRATION ISSUES. FROM NOVEMBER 2013 TO MARCH 2104, WE HAVE SEEN A STEADY INCREASE IN THE NUMBERS OF FAMILY WALK-IN VISITS RANGING FROM 108 TO 230 VISITS PER MONTH. IN THE LAST TWO QUARTERS OF 2013, BCCE PROVIDED SUPPORTS THROUGH THIS PROGRAM TO APPROXIMATELY 850 NON-UNIQUE VISITORS. INTENSIVE CASES BCCE USES A MULTI-LEVELED CULTURE-BASED WRAPAROUND MODEL THAT ENSURES OUR MOST VULNERABLE COMMUNITY MEMBERS ARE SPARED A ONE-SIZE-FITS-ALL SOLUTION TO PARTICULAR NEEDS. FURTHER, THE TIERED APPROACH TO SUPPORTS ALLOWS PROGRAM STAFF AND COMMUNITY MEMBERS TO COLLABORATIVELY DEVELOP APPROPRIATE STRUCTURES FROM INTENSIVE TO LOW-INTENSITY SUPPORTS AS APPROPRIATE TO EACH SITUATION. WE ANTICIPATE SUPPORTING FAMILIES THROUGH INTENSIVE SUPPORTS ON A SELECTIVE BASIS DEPENDING ON THE COMPLEXITY, SENSITIVITY, AND ONGOING NATURE OF THE ISSUES ADDRESSED. BCCE HAS PROVIDED INTENSIVE SUPPORTS TO INDIVIDUALS AND FAMILIES ON A SELECTIVE BASES THAT ENTAIL THE COMPLEXITY OF NAVIGATING MULTIPLE ENTITIES AND BUREAUCRACIES FROM SCHOOLS, CHILD PROTECTIVE SERVICES, THE COURT SYSTEM, STATE AND FEDERAL LEVEL DEPARTMENTS AND OFFICES RELATED TO IDENTIFICATION AND STATUS IN THE UNITED STATES, AMONG OTHERS. THESE INTENSIVE CASES REQUIRE SIGNIFICANT HUMAN RESOURCES AND THUS ARE LIMITED TO THOSE IN EXTREMELY VULNERABLE SITUATIONS. AD HOC ACTIVITIES FINALLY, BECAUSE BCCE IS RESPONSIVE TO COMMUNITY NEEDS AND DESIRES, THERE ARE OCCASIONS WHEN THE MORE FORMAL PROGRAMS DO NOT ACCOMMODATE FOR UNANTICIPATED ISSUES. THUS, BCCE FORESEES THE NEED TO CONTINUE BEING FLEXIBLE IN ITS SERVICES. AD HOC ACTIVITIES ARE THOSE THAT DO NOT FIT NEATLY INTO THE CATEGORIES AND PROGRAMS PREVIOUSLY DESCRIBED. EXAMPLES OF THESE HAVE INCLUDED ASSISTANCE WITH WORKING THROUGH LEGAL CASES AND PROCEDURES, ISSUES WITH TRAVEL LOANS, UNEMPLOYMENT, SECONDARY MIGRATION, AND STATE AND FEDERAL TAXES.

FORM 990-EZ, PART III OUR PRIMARY MISSION IS TO STRENGTHEN AND EMPOWER THE NEWLY RESETTLED REFUGEE-IMMIGRANT COMMUNITIES FROM BURMA TO BECOME INFORMED, SELF- SUFFICIENT, INDEPENDENT, AND POSITIVE CONTRIBUTING MEMBERS OF THE BROADER SOCIETY IN INDIANAPOLIS AREAS AND BEYOND THROUGH FORMAL AND INFORMAL EDUCATION PROGRAMS LEADING TOWARDS THEIR SELF-REALIZATION, CONFIDENCE AND SUFFICIENCY. INFORM THE COMMUNITIES IN INDIANAPOLIS AREA AND THE STATE OF INDIANA AT THE LARGE ABOUT THE DIVERSITY BROUGHT TO THEM BY THESE BURMESE ETHNIC GROUPS THROUGH INTERCULTURAL EVENTS, FELLOWSHIP, AND INTER-COMMUNITIES COOPERATION OF GREATER INTEGRATION.
FORM 990-EZ, PART III, LINE 28 EDUCATIONAL: UNDER BCCE'S EDUCATION FIRST INITIATIVE, WE HAVE DESIGNED SEVEN PROGRAMS TO ADDRESS THE DESPERATE NEEDS OF OUR CHILDREN IN THE ELEMENTARY AND SECONDARY EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTIONS (ELEMENTARY, MIDDLE, AND HIGH SCHOOLS). THE PROGRAMS PROVIDE ACADEMIC SUPPORTS AS WELL AS MENTORING. THE SEVEN PROGRAMS OF EDUCATION FIRST ARE: 1.PREPARATORY STUDY PROGRAM (PSP) 2.MENTORING FOR A STRONGER LIFE (MSL) 3.GROWTH PROGRAM 4.WALK-IN TUTORING 5.INTENSIVE ENGLISH LANGUAGE LEARNING PROGRAM 6.BCCE YOUTH ST(W)ARRIORS OF INDIANAPOLIS 7.YOUTH AND LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM THROUGH EDUCATION PROGRAMING AIMS TO REALIZE THEIR DREAM FOR "A BETTER LIFE." AS ALWAYS, OUR PROGRAMS ARE BASED ON OUR OWN ASSESSMENT BY TALKING AND LISTENING TO INDIVIDUALS AND FAMILIES, AND LEARNING FROM THEM THEIR CONCERNS AND ASPIRATIONS FOR THEIR FUTURE AND THE FUTURE OF THEIR CHILDREN. THROUGH EDUCATION PROGRAMS INCLUDE: 1.ENVIRONMENTAL EDUCATION AND ECOLOGICAL PRESERVATION 2.COMMUNITY AND PUBLIC HEALTH EDUCATION 3.FOCUS ON CULTURAL AND ETHNIC DIVERSITY 4.CIVIC EDUCATION AND CITIZENSHIP
FORM 990-EZ, PART III, LINE 29 FAMILY WALK-IN PROGRAM: IN ADDITION TO SPECIFIC PROGRAMMING EFFORTS, BCCE CONTINUES TO SEE THE NEED FOR "JUST-IN-TIME" SUPPORTS. AS A RESULT OF THE FEDERAL GRANT MONIES RECEIVED IN THE LAST TWO QUARTERS OF 2013, BCCE HAS BEEN ABLE TO EXPAND ITS OFFICE HOURS ALONG WITH HOURS FOR "FAMILY WALK-IN" FROM MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY. THE FAMILY WALK-IN PROGRAM IS AIMED AT SUPPORTING IMMEDIATE NEEDS AND CONCERNS OF FAMILIES. THUS, THERE ARE A RANGE OF ISSUES ADDRESSED FROM TRANSLATING MAIL, TO SCHOOLING ISSUES, TO HOUSING CONCERNS, TO MEDICAL AND HEALTH CONCERNS, TO MORE COMPLEX FAMILY MATTERS THAT REQUIRE ONGOING SUPPORT. IN THE LAST TWO QUARTERS OF 2013, A FEW MAIN AREAS OF CONCERN HAVE EMERGED AS MOST PRESSING IN THE BROADER COMMUNITY INCLUDING UNDERSTANDING OF AND ENROLLMENT IN THE HEALTH CARE MARKETPLACE, GENERAL SOCIAL SUPPORTS, AND IMMIGRATION ISSUES. FROM NOVEMBER 2013 TO MARCH 2104, WE HAVE SEEN A STEADY INCREASE IN THE NUMBERS OF FAMILY WALK-IN VISITS RANGING FROM 108 TO 230 VISITS PER MONTH. IN THE LAST TWO QUARTERS OF 2013, BCCE PROVIDED SUPPORTS THROUGH THIS PROGRAM TO APPROXIMATELY 850 NON-UNIQUE VISITORS. INTENSIVE CASES BCCE USES A MULTI-LEVELED CULTURE-BASED WRAPAROUND MODEL THAT ENSURES OUR MOST VULNERABLE COMMUNITY MEMBERS ARE SPARED A ONE-SIZE-FITS-ALL SOLUTION TO PARTICULAR NEEDS. FURTHER, THE TIERED APPROACH TO SUPPORTS ALLOWS PROGRAM STAFF AND COMMUNITY MEMBERS TO COLLABORATIVELY DEVELOP APPROPRIATE STRUCTURES FROM INTENSIVE TO LOW-INTENSITY SUPPORTS AS APPROPRIATE TO EACH SITUATION. WE ANTICIPATE SUPPORTING FAMILIES THROUGH INTENSIVE SUPPORTS ON A SELECTIVE BASIS DEPENDING ON THE COMPLEXITY, SENSITIVITY, AND ONGOING NATURE OF THE ISSUES ADDRESSED. BCCE HAS PROVIDED INTENSIVE SUPPORTS TO INDIVIDUALS AND FAMILIES ON A SELECTIVE BASES THAT ENTAIL THE COMPLEXITY OF NAVIGATING MULTIPLE ENTITIES AND BUREAUCRACIES FROM SCHOOLS, CHILD PROTECTIVE SERVICES, THE COURT SYSTEM, STATE AND FEDERAL LEVEL DEPARTMENTS AND OFFICES RELATED TO IDENTIFICATION AND STATUS IN THE UNITED STATES, AMONG OTHERS. THESE INTENSIVE CASES REQUIRE SIGNIFICANT HUMAN RESOURCES AND THUS ARE LIMITED TO THOSE IN EXTREMELY VULNERABLE SITUATIONS. AD HOC ACTIVITIES FINALLY, BECAUSE BCCE IS RESPONSIVE TO COMMUNITY NEEDS AND DESIRES, THERE ARE OCCASIONS WHEN THE MORE FORMAL PROGRAMS DO NOT ACCOMMODATE FOR UNANTICIPATED ISSUES. THUS, BCCE FORESEES THE NEED TO CONTINUE BEING FLEXIBLE IN ITS SERVICES. AD HOC ACTIVITIES ARE THOSE THAT DO NOT FIT NEATLY INTO THE CATEGORIES AND PROGRAMS PREVIOUSLY DESCRIBED. EXAMPLES OF THESE HAVE INCLUDED ASSISTANCE WITH WORKING THROUGH LEGAL CASES AND PROCEDURES, ISSUES WITH TRAVEL LOANS, UNEMPLOYMENT, SECONDARY MIGRATION, AND STATE AND FEDERAL TAXES.
