Background

Mission statement: The Embark Georgia statewide network serves postsecondary professionals and institutions to ensure connectivity, share best practices, and provide information exchange among youth, community based stakeholders, and K-12 education.

Embark Georgia was created in 2013 in the hope of ensuring that any youth who has been a part of the foster care system or been homeless receives all of the support he or she needs. From financial, academic, social and emotional needs, Embark Georgia’s mission is to be able to provide any kind of support that an individual might need in order to complete post-secondary education. Georgia is one of only nine states that provides a statewide organization to support youth who have been in either the foster system or homeless. Embark Georgia is currently part of the Fanning Institute’s public service outreach mission and is run by David Meyers, a former social worker who runs all youth and foster family projects affiliated with the Fanning Institute.

While Embark Georgia focuses primarily on statewide programs and relationships with high school counselors and social workers in their quest to help the students achieve their dreams of post-secondary education, Embark UGA is an affiliated organization that focuses on the students’ lives once they arrive at the university. Embark UGA helps to ease the individuals’ transitions into student life in the most seamless way possible. It is also the contact for Embark students regarding any problems they may face during college.

Trends

Although programs of this variety are still relatively new, a few organizations have already emerged as leaders in the field. The most successful and established organizations with a similar mission are Fostering Success Michigan and the Guardian Scholars program for California schools. However, both organizations (as well as most others) only focus on the foster system, omitting homeless youth. Fostering Success focuses on getting its message of post-secondary education out into the foster care system very early, starting when the child is 12. The belief in early education, as well as its close partnership with Western Michigan University, have been successful strategies for Fostering Success Michigan. However, its most defined, and arguably most successful strategy, has been the use of The Collective Impact Framework, which uses the following as the necessary conditions for large-scale social change: a backbone organization, a common agenda, mutually reinforcing activities, shared measurement, and continuous communication.

Target Publics

The target publics for Embark Georgia are youth who have experienced

foster care or homelessness. Embark Georgia also targets community based stakeholders and K-12 and postsecondary guidance counselors, statewide that have the potential to aid students in providing ample academic, financial, social and emotional supports to access a higher

education. Embark Georgia focuses on preparing high school counselors with proper tools to assist foster and homeless youth with any questions they may have during the process of applying to universities. They are provided materials and guides to assisting students with applying for financial aid, covering application fee costs and answering any questions.

Embark UGA is specifically geared towards University of Georgia faculty and students. Participating UGA faculty serve as helpful resources to the students as potential mentors and a helpful resource to the students. They

provide information regarding useful resources around campus, assist with the yearly financial aid process and help with any questions Embark students may have while living and studying on campus throughout the year

Peer Organizations There are universities across the nation that have an existing program in place.These universities include: California State University Fullerton Guardian Scholars Program University of California Santa Barbara Guardian Scholars Program Idaho State University Guardian Scholars Program Fostering Success Michigan The main difference between Embark UGA and these other state programs is that Embark UGA strives to help both foster youth and homeless youth. These programs mission statements only address youth coming out of foster care programs. Embark UGA was the first program of its kind that existed in Georgia. The following universities have adopted similar programs: Kennesaw State University C.A.R.E. Program Savannah State Star Program These programs both help foster and homeless youth. They have programs in place such as food drives, “celebration clubs,� monthly events, and an event to take in freshman during the holidays. Embark UGA provides the necessary training guides, informational brochures, and existing networks that UGA has to other postsecondary institutions and high school counselors across the state.

Public Relations & Communication Tactics

The logo for Embark Georgia that is currently used was designed and created by an Embark student, so it holds sentimental value to the organization. Upon surveying, UGA students and faculty were overwhelmingly unaware of Embark Georgia and did not recognize the logo.

Focus groups conducted with groups of students showed that students were unaware of the significant amount of homeless or foster youth currently attending UGA. They were willing to serve as allies, but were unaware of the most appropriate way to do so. These focus group participants had also never seen Embark Georgia’s logo and found the logo did not accurately resonate the purpose the organization serves.

Embark Georgia currently operates a Facebook page, with no other online presence. Aside from a few posts regarding upcoming events, the page is relatively inactive with little interaction with followers.

-5-


Perception & Willingness to Help Student Perspective To gage student awareness of homelessness and foster care, a focus group was conducted with 10 undergraduate students who are not currently affiliated with Embark UGA. The students represented multiple areas of campus life and academic study. None of the focus group participants knew about Embark UGA prior to the focus group. They felt confident their lack of awareness was shared by the larger student body. When asked to illustrate their general perceptions of homeless individuals, focus group participants described stereotypical views of older individuals with worn-down clothing and mental health problems. Many admitted to never having thought about the prospect of attending school with homeless individuals or peers in foster care. The focus group participants were overwhelmingly enthusiastic about helping advance Embark UGA’s mission. All of them expressed a willingness to help both Embark UGA and the students it serves. However, they expressed concerns about handling interactions in an appropriate and inoffensive manner; they would not want their actions construed as patronization. Based on the findings of this focus group, it is clear that University students are willing to help support Embark UGA in whatever capacity they can.

Faculty Perspective

Perception & Willingness to Help A survey was sent to more than 400 UGA faculty and staff members using Qualtrics with the focus of awareness of Embark UGA. Seventy-one faculty and staff members responded to the survey. The significant information that we gathered from the survey is that 87 percent of those that responded to the survey prefer to receive information via email. This is important when trying to send information about Embark UGA events. Among the respondents 78 percent of them indicated that they had no familiarity of Embark UGA; 86 percent said they had never heard of the organization. Less than 25 percent responded that they were unaware that homelessness was an issue among college students at UGA. Only four of the people surveyed knew which resources were available to help homeless students at UGA. The findings of this survey indicate that faculty and staff at UGA are extremely unaware that there is an issue among students at the University of Georgia and have no knowledge of organizations like Embark UGA. Though the awareness is low, the willingness to help is extremely high. According to the survey 100 percent of respondents indicated that they would be willing to donate personal items and 79 percent stated they would be willing to help students locate resources.Twenty percent responded that they would be willing to host a student during school breaks. Also a majority of the survey takers would like to receive more information about Embark UGA. Based on the findings of this survey the UGA faculty and staff would be willing to help if given more information and were made aware of Emark UGA and its mission.More detailed results are listed in the appendix.

Embark UGA has established some relationships with other organizations and departments on campus.

The organization has a mission and purpose that people would like to be involved with.

Strengths

Embark UGA has not made great efforts to form relationships with several potentially useful campus organization.

Embark UGA’s Facebook page does not give any explanation or provide understanding about the organization.

Embark UGA has been ineffective in creating awareness of the service and its purpose.

Weaknesses

Threats

The lack of awareness about the foster and homeless youth on campus can limit the resources offered to those students.

Opportunities There is a potential to take advantage of the growing national awareness of foster youth issues on campus.

The perception that being homeless or a foster youth is shameful, which can prevent students from coming forward and acknowledging they need help and access to resources (i.e. financial or provisional aid).

There are competing student organizations that can take focus away from Embark UGA.

The evolving awareness of foster youth issues allows room for the state network to grow with it.

The university setting has many different organizations that can provide resources to foster youth and homeless youth.

Research Methodology & Overview Awareness of Embark UGA among UGA Faculty and Staff An online survey using Qualtrics was sent to 300 UGA faculty and staff members on Wednesday February 11, 2015 to measure their awareness of Embark UGA. 71 of those 300 faculty completed the survey. 62 percent of the respondents were female and 38 percent were male.The questions on the surveyed aimed to gather information about not only the awareness but their understanding of homelessness, and willingness to help. After gathering demographic information such as how long they have been employed at the University of Georgia and how they prefer to receive information and more specific questions were asked. We gathered from the survey is that 75 percent of those that responded to the survey prefer to receive information via email. This is important when trying to send information about Embark UGA events.

Research Methodology & Overview Embark Georgia Brand Awareness Focus Group A focus group was conducted on February 9th with 5 UGA students. The focus group began with a general introduction and a blind introduction to Embark Georgia’s current logo. The students generally perceived the logo to be for some kind of outdoor recreational program and did not pay attention to the tagline on the logo. After I directed them to the tagline and asked to think about what the logo would then symbolize, the students began to understand the tree was symbolic for strength and growth. The students liked the logo, but felt it looked data and needed something more to make it stand out.

Embark UGA Awareness and Perception Focus Group

A focus group was held at 5:30 p.m. on Wednesday, Feb. 11, 2015, to determine awareness

about homeless and foster youth among current students at the University of Georgia. The

focus group consisted of 10 individuals: one second-year, four third-year and five fourth-

year undergraduate students. None of the focus group participants were involved with Embark UGA.

When asked to depict physical, emotional and mental characteristics of homeless individuals,

many members of the focus group described older persons with worn-down clothing. They

discussed stereotypes associated with homeless individuals, including mental illness, minority

racial identities and affective disorders like depression. However, the focus group members

had not previously thought about the possibility of homeless and foster youth attending school with them.

Many group members admitted ignorance to the experience of homeless and foster youth at

institutes of higher education prior to the conversation. They assumed that most, if not all,

persons attending a university had the resources necessary to attend college (which included

a permanent residency to return to). None of the focus group participants knew about

Embark UGA’s services prior to the meeting. They were confident that this was the case for most students at the University.

Ultimately, the focus group participants highlighted a lack of awareness as the biggest

obstacle that Embark UGA and homeless/foster youth may face. Many expressed interest

in serving as an ally for homeless and foster peers, but they expressed greater hesitations

about not knowing the appropriate way to do so without having their actions be construed

developed to inform students about the experience of homeless and foster youth and to

as patronizing. They recommended that educational materials and awareness campaigns be help break down any stigmas.

Alternate mock-ups of logos were then presented to the student to gauge interest in different logo concepts. Of the others that were presented, the students found the other tree logo to be the most catching and unique. The students all agreed that the symbol that should be on the logo should be a tree. After showing all of the logo options, the focus group was then told more about

- 17 -

Embark Georgia and the purpose it serves as an organization. The students all agreed that the other tree logo fits the organization’s mission best and that emphasizes the symbolism of the tree the most. The students overall felt that the organization’s name was misleading and the tagline on the logo did not stand out enough to dispel any confusion over Embark Georgia’s mission statement.

Social Media Content Analysis - Twitter Method Overview In order to thoroughly and effectively examine the Twitter pages of Embark UGA’s competitors, a content analysis research method was selected. The organization does not have a Twitter page, so only competitors were researched. The coding book created allows the researcher to analyze each Twitter by succinct parameters in order to present the research in a quantifiable manner.

Data Collection Sampling Strategy The process began by researching organizations similar to Embark Georgia on a web search. Once on the website of those organizations, a Twitter page was looked for. Our efforts were directed towards this past year’s social media activity of the organizations in order to analyze and direct how Embark Georgia should proceed in their possible Twitter page.

Twitter Page Selection Process The Twitter pages to be coded were selected because they were the only organizations with an account. Foster Success Michigan, Guardian Scholars and Foster Youth in Action were the unique few that were active on the platform.

Coding Process and Coder Inter-Coder Reliability A coding book was created in order to begin the process. Each question was designed to be clear and to the point, while being inclusive of all the possible results, as well as still producing the most significant data possible. After the coding book was completed, one person was responsible for the Twitter content analysis. Therefore, inter-coder reliability was not an issue for our group.

Tweets without Responses

While the majority of the tweets recorded did not have responses, the thirty that did are extremely important (see chart below). They show what will get responses on Twitter if Embark Georgia chooses to create and run one. If they do create an account, not everything will get responses but they can learn from the coded accounts on what will garner attention from their followers.

After narrowing down which Tweets received feedback and which did not, the content of the posts with feedback were examined. The chart below features what content topics were prevalent. An explanation of each section follows the graph.

Outside Source Picture Tes3monial Foster Youth Issues S3gma Reducing Student Pertaining

Out of the 30 tweets with responses, 21 of them were non-original content from the organizations, and all were retweets. Many of them were articles, testimonies or encouragements that showed progression for foster youth and occasionally homeless youth. Eight out of the 30 tweets that had responses contained pictures. The important factor behind these tweets was that the pictures were of people apart of the organizations. Without the connection to the organization, the tweet would most likely not have been “favorited” or retweeted. Testimonial links played a part in garnering interactions on Twitter for the organizations. Six out of the 30 included testimonials. The stories did not have to be specifically from the organization, but could be national or local stories without connections to the program. Showing progression for foster youth was important for the stories. Thirteen of the 30 depicted issues faced by foster kids, and 11 of them tried to reduce stigmas associated foster youth. Lastly, the majority of the 30 pertained to students. While, there was overlap within the 30 tweets with responses content wise, it is important to see what gains followers’ attention. Embark Georgia should focus on current events for foster and homeless youth, show pictures of events and people important to the program, try to reduce stigmas, depict issues faced by the youth, display their stories and retweet other organization’s content. The organization should reach out to students more so than adults who work with foster youth because they are using Twitter as a platform more often.

Data Analysis and Results

The most significant results of the Facebook page content analysis were the findings that the most successful pages (with success being measured by the amount of likes and comments on posts, as well as on the general feel and image) were those that used their Facebook pages as a tool to help create a space for an online community of individuals united behind a common mission. It is the goal of social media to merge the sense of community and togetherness that is present in the organization itself with the convenience of online activity. The Facebook page for the University of California Santa Barbara chapter of the Guardian Scholars program as well as the page for Fostering Success Michigan program were the most notable examples of pages that created a sense of community online. The feeling of community was primarily created through the content of the posts. Both of these organizations used their Facebook pages for so much more than merely announcing their organization’s next event. The content of the posts created by these two pages ranged from coverage of local food bank hours and job opportunities to baby birth announcements and local concerts the program’s youth might enjoy. Notable, UCSB’s page also posted frequent, simple reminders that someone is always there to listen, should any of the program’s youth need someone to talk to.

Fostering Success Michigan (the page with the most “likes”) went a step farther and was the only organization coded that regularly posts daily. While most organizations used their logo for their profile picture, the organizations coded showed much more variance in cover photo subject matter. However, it is worth noting that the organizations that used their Facebook to create a continuation of community were the only ones that chose to use engaging photos where you could see the individuals’ faces for their cover photos. Ultimately, the results showed the promise of potential and the means of creating an online community that mimics and adds to the existing community surrounding the organization at hand.

Social Media Content Analysis - Facebook Method Overview Content Analysis was the research method chosen to examine the Facebook pages of both Embark UGA and its competitors as thoroughly, efficiently and uniformly as possible. By creating a coding book, it allows the coder to easily analyze each of the Facebook pages by the same set of parameters in order to turn information presented on a page into quantifiable data.

Data Collection Sampling Strategy The search function on Facebook was utilized in order to find the Facebook pages of organizations with a similar mission as Embark Georgia. We were not interested in simply coding Facebook posts that mentioned Embark Georgia. Instead, our focus was on the posts that Embark Georgia themselves produced and to analyze Embark Georgia’s current social media activity, as well as the activity of similar organizations, in order to improve their social media presence as a whole.

Facebook Page Selection Process The Facebook pages to be coded were initially narrowed down by their mission. Only organizations with a similar mission as Embark Georgia were coded. From there, certain organizations were eliminated due to the type of Facebook page they had. Organizations like Reach at the University of Alabama were eliminated because they had the page style of an individual and not an organization, making their results of the coding book void. From these parameters, five organizations were able to be coded.
