We have eight hair stylist and barbers that will come in to handle the pamper days. We have thirty mentors that are currently assigned to our facility and thirty on the waiting list as our needs increase. These mentors have been screened and tested by the Director to ensure they are prepared to lead our clients in a healthy direction. We have a contract with TANK that will transport our students to any location outside of our organization. We clear all students after they have completed an informed consent from the parent informing them about the program and what to expect. The student will also take the Substance Abuse Subtle Screening Inventory (SASSI-A2). When we involve the family sessions we will also include the CAGE questionnaire so that we can understand the history of the student to try to gain some background information. When dealing with family, we will have family nights every Tuesday where the students will have the opportunity to bring the family out to join in on the sessions. This way there is an opportunity for the family to participate in group sessions with the students. This will also be award night to also encourage the family to participate. Although all students will be provided with an award, because we feel that if we show the students that they are making progress no matter how small, they will be encouraged. We must continue to lift them
I know families and the communities are our support system and always there for us. Being a future teacher I have to support the families and communities and letting them be engage. I can do a Literacy Night with the school. This will involve the families and communities. The literacy Night will be a multicultural event. All the books will be different types of multicultural books from the list. The families and communities can come out to learn more about each cultural. I will get some parents involve by helping me set up or they can talk about their own culture.
Our Engaged Learning Community group was given the opportunity to participate with The Catholic Charity of Chicago, a group committed to help the less fortunate and the people with need of income. In accordance to Loyola’s mission, Catholic Charities helps the community regardless the background people seeking for assistance may come from. They are willing to provide assistance through funds, referrals, case managements, emergency shelter, clothing, food pantry, information on government benefit screening, basic needs, and social services.
Being first generation students, many are found the need to help their families. Whether it’s from helping their parents with siblings, which
The Boys & Girls Club of Kern County is a non-profit, established in 1996, dedicated to help young individuals in preparing for their futures. The chapter focuses on helping these individuals with character building, doing well in school, and becoming a responsible citizen within the community. This chapter provides services for “over 5,000 children daily at our 3 clubhouses and 49 campus based programs” (Kern County Boys & Girls Club, 2015). The goal of the organization is to make a positive influence on these children lives and their future. The Boys & Girls Club makes it easier for parents to focus on work by taking the responsibility for creating a safe and fun learning environment for these children. By doing so, children in unstable households receive a greater chance at a successful future. In 2013, the club served 2046 children at the Niles Clubhouse, where 87% of the members were on free or reduced lunch programs (Kern County Boys & Girls Club, 2015). This supports the foundation statement of the organization that the community needs to be involved in making programs that will result in a better future for all children. The organization’s partnership with PG&E to provide scholarships and summer internships is one of the most prevalent portrayals of the community working together to create better futures for the children of Kern County. The after school program is the most popular program the organization offers because
In NYC, access to after-school programs remains a problem for many children especially those from low-income/unstable families due to the lack of funding by the government. After school programs are slowly diminishing in the city and many people are not interested in reviving them. Over the years, many people have downplayed afterschool programs and their benefits to children especially those that come from low-income/unstable families. The social development of children from unstable backgrounds could greatly improve by the promotion and valuation of afterschool programs. They offer activities, memories, and a sense of community all of which these kids need to excel and gear away from the negativity that surrounds them.
According to the Heroin Epidemic in Northern Ohio, the best way to lessen the chances of heroin and cocaine abuse is prevention (Heroin Epidemic 2015). By incorporating and highlighting the dangers and warning signs within the school systems it could prevent teenagers and young adults from trying it. Many schools have the D.A.R.E programs offered at schools. The Drug Abuse Resistance Education (D.A.R.E) is a program that provides children with the proper skills when it comes to drugs and violence. The law enforcement also works within the community. They interact more just to show others with a different mindset that they are here to protect and serve the community.
This summer I worked in New York City at Harlem Children’s Zone (HCZ), which is a non-profit organization for poverty-stricken children and families in Harlem, providing free support in the forms of parenting workshops, a pre-school program, three public charter schools, child-oriented health programs that serve approximately 13,705 children and 13,784 adults. The Harlem Children’s Zone Project has expanded the HCZ’s comprehensive system of programs to nearly 100 blocks of Central Harlem and aims to keep children on track throughout college and into the job market. The organization is made-up of about twenty two programs in total that ensure there are no gaps in-between one phase to the next. For instance if a student needs to take a year off before attending college, HCZ has created programs that will stick with the student during this time frame, in other words providing these students with a strong support group so they are held accountable to attend college in the future. The HCZ is “aimed at doing nothing less than breaking the cycle of generational poverty for the thousands of children and
The United States Department of Justice, the Department of Homeland Security, and local departments provide financial support for the GREAT program, which enables this intervention to function at its full capacity. A supporter agent for this particular program is the school’s administrators because this intervention can possibly lower discipline issues within school grounds and create a safer atmosphere for students to learn. A third benefactor and strong supporter of the GREAT intervention are the participant’s parents or guardian. The parents are extremely likely to support this intervention because it can potentially help their child if they are at risk of joining a criminal gang, which can negatively impact their child’s life and future. Also, the GREAT intervention teaches its participants other important life skills that parents may want their child to

The community organization my group chose to research in Champaign County was the Don Moyer Boys & Girls Club. I will begin with a description of the Don Moyer Boys & Girls Club including the history of the organization as well as the activities that take place at the club. I will then talk about the role that that Don Moyer plays in the Champaign-Urbana community that was learned through an interview with Ray Pratt who is current Director of Finance at Don Moyer. Being that I am familiar with the Boys & Girls Club organizations both in Champaign and Chicago, I will share how I have connected with the organizations within the past few years. Being that the organization was founded to improve certain communities, I will explain how the activities

The problem of homelessness in New Haven has left many children wandering around the street. Over the past few years, a significant number of children have been spotted in the streets and this has resulted in increased crime cases. Most of these children are students as the school districts have identified quite a number of homeless students in Connecticut. Apart from the problem of homelessness, dropping out of schools is also a leading cause of increased number of children in New Haven’s streets. This paper provides in-depth discussion on the number of children in the streets of New Haven, and also some of the proposed programs meant to keep these children off the streets.
Bullock County is rural, and a plethora of the individuals who live in this area are impoverished. As I have learned, one of the best way to eliminate poverty is through education; therefore, I was very excited to learn of such a program making its way into that area. This is new information I can pass along to the population I work with as a valuable resource.
The Department of Youth and Community Development’s (DYCD) central task is administering available City, State and Federal funds to effective Community-Based Organizations (CBO’s) to provide high-quality youth and family programming (DYCD). In an effort to turnaround the Mayor’s rigorous Renewal School implementation timeline, DYCD was asked to help serve as a procurement engine to get the contracts registered on a timely basis so funds could quickly be infused into the schools. The RFP process was a collaboration between the Mayor’s Office, DOE and DYCD. The RFP’s primary purpose was to support the 83 Renewal Schools in becoming Community Schools by securing experienced CBO’s to partner with the failing schools in implementing the Community
