“Part III, Line 28 Statement of Program Service Accomplishments”

“Benjamin Franklin Experience (BFE) is a career exploration and social-emotional skill building program for teens. At BFE students try on inspirational careers led by experts. Fields include STEM, arts, trades, medicine, and more. One day, students work with environmental scientists in a mountain stream, the next, they learn emergency medicine at a state-of-the-art simulation center.”

“As students discover their own interests and talents, they learn the skills necessary to succeed in the 21st century-leadership, business etiquette, teamwork, writing excellence, creative problem solving, and verbal communication. Students' future college and employment applications are bolstered with writing assignments, photography, and music from the program. Most importantly, students change their perceptions of themselves and their possible futures, which results in goal-driven behavior necessary to achieve success.”

“Testing by an independent third-party demonstrated that 80% of graduates increased in at least one area of emotional intelligence measured-adaptability, intrapersonal skills, interpersonal skills, or stress management.”

“Invention of 30 day-long, hands-on experiences in 13 different careers, in which teens meet high-performing individuals who create simulations, exercises, and experiences that demonstrate the nuances and realities of their respective professions.”

“Curriculum design to integrate soft-skill training, setting behavioral expectations, instruction on body language, social mores, presentation and communications skills throughout each experience.”

“Construction of Benjamin Franklin Experience website as program brochure, application portal, payment portal for tuition, and way for parents and students to access program documents and instructions.”

“Creation of student handbook, risk management policies, emergency procedures, and procurement of liability insurance”

“Development of relationships with community partners that served as guest-instructors/experience hosts, including Greenville Health System Simulation Center; GE; Thrive Upstate; composer, Cale Pellick; and Furman University's Environmental Science Department.”

“Human resources functions, including creation of job descriptions, payroll administration, posting job openings, interviewing staff, hiring, onboarding, and training staff.”

“Communications with Greenville County School District leadership, and various Charter schools in Greenville, including Legacy Early College, and NEXT High School regarding logistics of nominating students to the program.”

“Student application review and acceptance processes, including determination of students emotional readiness for the program, enrollment logistics, including completion of permission and release forms.”

“Recruiting of high-performing mentors to the program, including former NFL coach, Executive coach, school counselors and psychologists, venture capitalists, artists, entrepreneurs and writers.”

“Transportation logistics, including arranging for students to get to and from class headquarters and arranging for transportation to-and-from home and headquarters for students who would not otherwise be able to attend the program.”

“Procurement of lunch and snacks for all experiences, particularly for students on free-lunch during school (for some this was the only meal they ate in a day.)”

“Pre and post program testing and evaluation from independent third-party to evaluate program effectiveness.”

“Focus group testing and individual interviews of students, both before and after the program, to continually improve and assess the programs efficacy.”
