I. LETTER TO THE TOWN
November 1, 2019
Dear Town of Jupiter Council Members,
As part of its lease with the Town, El Sol is pleased to submit its third quarterly report for 2019.
The summer months bring a different and fun energy to El Sol as we welcome our summer campers. Thanks to
several generous funders, again this year we were able to host 20 boys and girls from our community in a 6-
week summer camp. Activities included some favorites like swimming lessons at the North County Aquatic
Center and Busch Wildlife Center and some new trips including the Manatee Lagoon and Morikami Museum
and Gardens. More importantly, it provided these children with learning opportunities to avoid the “summer
slide” which is very common in students of families with lower resources. We are also very excited to start our
GED prep classes in Spanish! This class, in combination with our Spanish Literacy Program, is providing many
of our clients, teenagers and adults, the opportunity to obtain a high school diploma. We are proud to have
partnered with The Early Learning Coalition of Palm Beach County. An ELC staff member is present at El Sol
two times a week providing services to our community through access to quality early learning environments
that prepare children for academic success. Our workers were in high demand during the threat of Hurricane
Dorian! We broke a record with over 100 job requests one of the days before the storm. Both men and women
went out to help residents put up shutters and prepare their homes. All of us here at El Sol want to send a very
special thank you to the Town of Jupiter’s staff for their help these past months resolving issues in our building.
The impact of our programs and services is detailed here, and when appropriate, there is a comparison to
previous years’ statistics. According to the Independent Sector website, the estimated national value of
volunteer time for 2019 is $25.43 per hour. This is the amount we assign to calculate the value of volunteer
hours in our programs.
We are so appreciative for the support to El Sol and our work. I hope you enjoy reading about the work we are
doing. Please let me know if you need any further information.
Respectfully submitted,
Suzanne Cordero
Executive Director

STRATEGIC PLAN GOAL: Increase placement Rate to 70% in 2019
Quarter III Progress: Daily Placement Rate was at 57%
In the Third quarter of 2019, a total of 3,217 jobs were filled. El Sol registered 94 new workers and 283 new
Employers. For the quarter, an average of 90 community members registered at El Sol each morning. Of these,
61 members registered specifically for work for that day (Job Worker). Of the 61 ready for work, on average 35
workers were hired each day.
Volunteers provided 394 hours to the Labor Program at the Employer Desk and the Labor Desk.
*The Daily Placement Rate of workers in the past has been calculated using the average workers hired per day
divided by the full general attendance per day. El Sol has found that up to 30 workers a day register in the
morning but leave for other work or commitments for the day. The true placement rate of the available workers
has been recalculated using the Job Worker Attendance numbers.

STRATEGIC PLAN GOAL: 60% increase in 3 points in Self-Sufficiency Score in 2019
Quarter III Progress: 36% increase in 3 points in Self-Sufficiency score
The Case Manager interviews the workers on nine different categories from food assistance to education and
employment. From their answers, the Case Manager calculates a baseline for the status of the workers’ self-
sufficiency. The lowest score is zero and the highest score is 45. Our goal is for workers to learn more about
the resources available in the community, improve their work potential, improve their education, and improve
their knowledge of the medical and legal resources available.
A follow up by the Case Manager after six months will provide insight into how the worker is integrating and
improving his or her self-sufficiency within our community. We began documenting the Self Sufficiency score
in March of 2017. In the chart below we have shown the number of workers registering, the initial average Self
Sufficiency score, and then the average scores on the 6 months follow-ups.
Registration now requires mandatory OSHA classes and Community Service events for the workers.
In the follow up interviews from January through March of 2019, the follow ups resulted in 36% having an
increase of 3 points or more in their Self-Sufficiency scores.

On Wednesday July 17th, at 6 p.m., we had our summer education graduation ceremony.
Students graduated from our Adult Education classes in English, Spanish Literacy, Sewing,
and Vocational Workshops.
ii. EL SOL SUMMER CAMP
After six weeks of fun, learning, arts & crafts, making new
friends and exciting field trips the El Sol Summer Camp
came to an end July 26, 2019. A total of twenty young
people were able to have a wonderful summer and improve
themselves for the upcoming school year. Activities
included swimming lessons, a visit to the Jupiter Police
Department, visit to Epcot, music lessons, Loggerhead
Marinelife Center, Busch Wildlife center and more. For
their final week the campers enjoyed a very informative
field trip to the Manatee Lagoon in West Palm Beach where
they came to understand the endangered and unique Florida
manatees.
iii. HURRICANE DORIAN
Category 5 Hurricane Dorian made
landfall in the northwestern Bahamas
on September 1, 2019, bringing
catastrophic winds of 180 mph + and
life-threatening storm surge to the area.
El Sol had a record day of workers
going out to assist homeowners with
installation of their hurricane shutters.
On August 30, 2019, 133 El Sol
workers were hired. El Sol was back
open on Wednesday, September 4,
2019.
iv. EL SOL CELEBRATES 13TH ANNIVERSARY
On September 6, 2019, El Sol celebrated
our 13th anniversary, since opening our
Labor Hall in 2006. The beginning was
much different than today as the operation
consisted of only a Labor desk with our
Labor Coordinator running it. As of this
year we have registered over 5,000 workers
and 400 currently active in the center. We
now have ten full-time and twelve part-time
employees who manage our many
programs for client improvement. We enjoy
a strong volunteer base with over three
hundred active volunteers who give us over fourteen thousand service hours annually.
Staff members celebrate our 13th
anniversary

v. EL SOL RECEIVES FOOD DONATION
On Saturday, September 14, a 70’ long Semi Tractor Trailer from Deseret Industries, a non-
profit organization of Welfare Services of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints,
arrived at El Sol filled with food. The objective of the welfare program of the church is to
care for those in need while teaching principles that promote self-reliance and self-respect.
The truck brought 11 pallets of food to El Sol for use in our Hot Meal program. A total of
556 cases of food were received. With the assistance of 30 El Sol workers and 10 volunteers
from the local church, all was offloaded in about an hour and placed in El Sol.
vi. KITCHEN TRAINING PROGRAM BEGINS
On Tuesday, September 17th, El Sol’s Kitchen Training Program (KTP) began anew with six
new clients. The students received their uniforms and had their first lesson practicing
different types of cuts on carrots, then tried out several recipes to cook the vegetables that
they prepared. Through this program, students have the opportunity to earn SafeStaff
Foodhandler credentials - a certification required by the state of Florida to work in a
commercial setting. In addition to state certification, over the course of the eight-week
program, students will also gain hands-on cooking experience in El Sol’s professional
facilities. Additionally, the client will be able to participate in field trips to local culinary and
agricultural businesses to learn about the industry.

7. CHILD DEVELOPMENT
STRATEGIC PLAN GOAL: Assess the need for child development services
Quarter III Progress:
An assessment was completed in December 2017. A need is there but strict childcare facility laws prevent El

who work with children. We have made a commitment to add Child Development Activities as reported below:
STRATEGIC PLAN GOAL: Have 20 children participate in the Summer Camp at El Sol in 2019
Quarter III Progress:
20 children registered and are attending Summer Camp at El Sol from June 17 through July 26.
STRATEGIC PLAN GOAL: Develop Nighttime programming for children of parents who are taking
education classes
