Sioux city schools outreachour 3 year (2020 through 2022/2023) plan is with the sanford center community school outreach program to hire an additional 3 to 5 outreach workers in the sioux city schools over the next 3 to 5 years, depending on funds raised, is completed. We may work with them in late 2024.we raised $20,000 in our final year towards hiring an additional outreach worker. The sanford center was then able to raise additional funds to fund a position. One case worker carries a caseload of 30 high risk children and their families, so we estimate that they would directly impact over 100 people. In addition, this diverse group of individuals help the schools to have a positive impact on school climate and have been involved in our anti-bullying and anti-violence programs.
