“Statement of Program Accomplishments:Accessibility We are committed to accessibility in the arts in all of our projects, classrooms, workshops and productions by having adequate wheelchair seating, audio describers, Braille programs, Sorenson video interpreting and sign language interpreters. We successfully employed five persons with disabilities and three AmeriCorps members with disabilities during the past year and supported their employment/service through equipment purchases, audio description, Braille materials and reasonable accommodations. Achievements and Recognitions We celebrated our 29th year of service to the Tucson community. We ran our second year of our fourth three year contract with Corporation for National and Community Service for AmeriCorps State members. This contract is for September 01, 2012 August 31, 2015 with yearly renewals and is for 10 full-time slots. For this three year contract we decided to opt for a fixed grant contract which allows us to draw down funding monthly for the AmeriCorps members living allowance only. It makes our accounting easier as we only need to account for the members hours. This year we were awarded a grant from Community Foundation of Southern Arizona for our Teens in Childcare Training Program. This summer we trained 36 youth in childcare from Tucson Urban League, Pima County Summer Youth Program, AZ Department of Economic Security/Division of Developmental Disabilities and youth who came on their own who were not affiliated with any agency. Some of these youth will continue to volunteer throughout the year. Administration At the beginning of the year, July 1, 2013 there were four full-time administrative staff executive director, assistant director, administrative assistant and accountant. The positions of executive director, assistant director and accountant were filled by the same individuals all year. We had an administrative assistant, Stephanie Toggerson, for the first month of the year and then she applied and was accepted for the position of childrens services manager. The Director of Human Services supervised the adult and children services. There was no reduction in staff salaries or wages during this fiscal year and a few of the hourly direct support professionals received raises following their annual evaluations. During times without some of the administrative and management staff, the executive and assistant directors completed the necessary tasks by working overtime. The manager positions are responsible for recommending for hire, training, supervising and evaluating direct care staff (direct support professionals) as well as coordinate the services for adults and/or children. Some of the direct support professionals are registering with the National Association of Direct Support Professionals after six months and after two years of employment were eligible for certification. Full-time employees received paid holidays, vacation and sick leave as well as health insurance, retirement and elective benefits. Continuing education/training is an important aspect of employment at Arts for All, Inc. and the 20 hours/year requirement by Childcare Licensure is adhered to throughout all departments. We have just completed our second audit with Jennifer Phillips, CPA, LLC. After-School Classes The after-school classes were the first project that Third St. Kids opened in 1985. There was and continues to be a tremendous need in the community for creative programs that include children with disabilities and for those from low income homes. A minimum of two daily classes were held in the afternoons from August through May. Students attended from throughout the greater Tucson area. Scholarships were given to low income families. Some of these families were staff members. One of the ways that we can help our staff is by providing childcare. Twelve staff members enrolled their children in preschool, out-of-school time and/or Summer Arts Camp and all really appreciated it. Fly”
