Authorizing the expenditure of $15,000 from the Department of Parks and Youth Services for the NAACP Toledo ACT-SO Youth Program; authorizing the Mayor to enter into necessary agreements with NAACP Toledo for this program; and declaring an emergency.
Body
SUMMARY & BACKGROUND:
Each year, high school students across the country start a journey to sharpen their skills through the Afro-Academic, Cultural, Technological and Scientific Olympics (ACT-SO). From visual arts and business to performing and culinary arts, participants work with community-based volunteers for a year to develop projects and performances. The experience culminates in local and national events where students compete for scholarships and other rewards. This allocation will go to supporting the program, and sending Toledo’s finalists to the 2024 national competition.
