1. Description of your organization and its purpose. The RCMN is a 501 (c) (3) nonprofit
organization that provides Quality Based Mentoring in the Rogue Valley. The vision of the
RCMN is to support, engage and empower youth and families through comprehensive mentoring
programs.
2. Description of project for which funds are requested. RCMN facilitates the YMMP for
young mothers and will provide 3 circles of 8-10 women throughout the WiLL Grant period.
Childcare, healthy snacks, project coordination, training, monitoring and evaluation of these
mentoring circles will be delivered.
3. Specifically, how will the grant funds be used? The WiLL funds will be used to purchase
quality childcare providers and healthy snacks for the circles. They will also assist in sustaining
a RCMN Project Coordinator to implement and monitor this program and provide program
evaluation.
4. Number of paid staff on project: .25 Number of project volunteers: 8
5. How was the need for the project determined and how will the project respond? Over 250
teenage women give birth each year in Jackson County (Kids Count Data Book 2010). An
average of 700 young women in our community, aged 20-24, also become mothers each year.
The RCMN has been receiving an increase of referrals for the YMMP. This project will assist
and support these young mothers by providing three mentoring circles throughout the WiLL
Grant period. These YMMP Circles will be based upon the One Circle Girls Curriculum and the
Parents as Teachers Program Materials along with the infant/toddlers 40 ASSETS information.
(Evidence Based, Best Practice Programming).
6. Who are your collaborators on this project and what are their roles? Kid Time provides the
space for holding the YMMP Circles and pays for one childcare coordinator. The Worksource
Oregon and Jackson County Mental Health provide referrals. The Children’s Advocacy Center
also provides referrals and provides space for training new mentors. Trinity Episcopal Church,
(Ashland), provides childcare monies and the Ashland Food Co-op provides a food gift
4. certificate.
7. How will your work help women and girls stand strong by age 30? Include how your
work will address one of the five building blocks. The YMMP Project addresses the Health
Building Block for young women who have children. The YMMP increases their understanding
of development stages of their children and increases their parenting and coping skills. It also
provides them with peer support and respite and increases their knowledge of community
resources and access to resources that will support their parenting skills and increase their
confidence to provide quality parenting. The YMMP Circles will provide the teen and young
mothers a natural peer support group that will assist these parents in developing a strong,
nurturing environment where they can share and learn from each other as they participate in
parenting efforts and responsibilities.
8. What are your organization’s special qualifications to address these objectives? RCMN is
a Quality Based Mentoring Network that implements the One Circle Girls Curriculum, 40
ASSETS for infants/toddlers and components of the Parents as Teachers Curriculum. RCMN
has facilitated the YMMP since 2012 and is positioned to increase services and build the capacity
to serve more young mothers and eventually fathers, in the Rogue Valley.
9. How does this project fit into the overall plans of your organization and your partners? The
YMMP provides comprehensive screening, training, monitoring and evaluation of the mentors
and mentees. YMMP is a selective prevention program. (Institute of Medicine Model)
10. Who else is doing this work or something very similar? To the best of our knowledge, the
Magdalene House and Family Nurturing Center is also providing young parents mentoring.
11. Is this a one-time effort or how do you see making it sustainable? The YMMP began in
2012 and has increased since that time to include more agency referrals and increased need for
implementing evidence based best practices. The YMMP is seeking sustainable funding as
evidence based program that incorporates the Parents as Teachers Curriculum and Training along
with the 40 Developmental ASSETS for infants and toddlers. RCMN has utilized and
implemented the Institute of Medicine Model (IOM) and is involved with the Jackson County
Prevention Coalition with universal, selective and indicated prevention programming models that
will position the RCMN to leverage more funding sources from the local, state and federal
sources. The schools and agencies are recognizing this effort as a “safety net” service for the
high risk teens and young mothers who need this support and knowledge base to become better
parents. RCMN is being included in school and agency budgets.
5. 12. How will you evaluate your learning and success? RCMN currently partners with
Southern Oregon University to assist in an extensive external evaluation process that includes
compilation of attendance, surveys and narratives from the participants. Pre and post tests will
be conducted and the attached logic model will be utilized for measureable outcomes.
