Hudson Lyndsey Group Home is a residential treatment, program for abused children, ages two through eleven. We offer abused and neglected children a nurturing supportive family -like environment combined with development, trust, social skills and teaching young- sters how to deal with past traumas of physical abuse or sexual abuse. The Hudson Lyndsey Home is located in Lynwood, California. The success of our program is based to a great extent on the reality of our ability to help children. As such, we place extreme emphasis on the intake procedure as a means to assess each potential child's ability to succeeding in the Hudson Lyndsey Program. II. PROGRAM BACKGROUND The Hudson Lyndsey Group Home has been in existence since December, 1985 and has served eighteen (18) long -term residential /therapeutic care clients.

Purpose of Work The purpose of this home is to provide therapeutic intervention for abused boys and girls from ages two through eleven years of age. The program is struc- tured to assist the children in developing self esteem, social skills and develop a foundation of trust. The principles of this facility are based on the realization that children placed in this home are victims of a neglected home environment and that they have possibly been involved with the judicial �J - 1 - system and institutional settings, such children are victims of physical and /or sexual abuse within ( .) the home, and therefore have a lack of trust for others and a resentment for authority. It is the intention of this program to aid the children in over - coming those views and to assist them in not becoming victims once again. C. Period of Performance Said services offered by Hudson Lyndsey Group Home began July 1, 1986 and shall be completed by June 30, 1987; however, this contract is being submitted for continuation of the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) - funding for the new fiscal year (July 1, 1987 through June 30, 1988).

PROPOSAL CONTENT 0 The proposal shall be organized in three (3) sections as follows: A. Solicitation and Offer Form (Attachment No. 1) B. The Technical Section This section consists of a narrative stating: The Hudson Lyndsey Group Home provides specialized residential treatment services for children two (2) through eleven (11) who have been abused and neglected. These children are a heterogeneous group who ex- hibit a broad spectrum of emotional and behavioral problems and require a continuum of placement and treatment options. The lack of appropriate programs group these children to be inappropriately housed at McClaren Children's Center and Children's Institute. The Hudson Lyndsey Group Home has successfully been in compliance with Los Angeles County since 1985. The project proponent has success- fully completed 108% occupancy. A highly specialized treatment team headed by Dr. Cynthia Powell and Dr. Calvin Hicks provide wide range of services to a population of child- ren who exhibit severe emotional and behavioral problems. Our overall program goal is to iniate individualized treatment based on each child's identified needs. The primary aim is to facilitate the child's return to his or her family whenever feasible or any indicated alternate program that provides the child's continuity of care. The Hudson Lyndsey Group Home has successfully reunited 35% of our children placed. Hudson Lyndsey Group Home is the only specialized facility for abused and neglected children in Lynwood. With continued support from the City of Lynwood additional funding would enable the Hudson Lyndsey Group Home to enhance and expand their existing program. U - 6 - C.

As this is a program for youth who want to straighten out their lives and begin to conform to the rules and regulations ofthis society This must be made clear to the youth before they are referred here. PROGRAM PERFORMANC The program will consist of daily, two -hour sessions in which a single topic is explored each week. Program shall be continuous with open enrollment. Youths ages 12 -18 will be served as funds are provided. Program will be on a rotating 10 week schedule. A minimum of 5 youth will be served for a 10 week period. Training will be provided during after school hours. The youth will be referred to this agency by law enforcement agencies such as police departments, juvenile Hall, youth camps, probation officers, or referrals from local (1) courts surrounding the Lynwood area. Youths that are referred to this agency by their l respective parole officer must continue to report to their (P.O. Officer as mandated by law. This agency will network closely with law enforcement agencies such as police departments. Youths who elect to train at law enforcement agencies will work through the Community Relations Department under close supervision of a law enforcement officer. This program is designed primarily to assist students who are at risk to get involved in drug or gang activity and it is our hope that we can intervene before the youth dos get involved with this kind of illegal activity. Schools may also refer students to this agency if the youth is in need of a support system and we feel the youth can benefit from this program. This is not a program for Hardcore youth 'loose who have committed violent crimes and have no intention of changing thier life style. TRAINING PROGRAM Youth will be educated on how to become self- sufficent. TUB includes: how to write resumes'; successful interviewing; job responsibilities; learning how to fill out a job application; reading and writing skills; building confidence and self- esteem; basic job - seeking skills; applying to trade school or any school of higher education; aquiring grooming'skills and proper etiquette. If a haircut is needed, boys will be encouraged to get a haircut and girls will be encouraged to go to a beauty salon to have her hair needs met. Youth will also be trained to share their life experiences in the community to educate youth and adults about the dangers of drugs and gangs as well as criminal activity. Training will require a minimum of 10 weeks participation per youth. Two staff members will be at the center two days per week, It hours each day. Each week the youth will be required to attend one two hour sessions. Staff will be available during remaining hours for personal guidance on an individual basis networking with employers, school guidance counselors and quest speakers. This agency will conduct follow -up visits with parents, employers, and other community contacts when necessary. These contacts will be by phone or in person. Staff will be responsible for scheduling activities and establishing a community laison with public and private social service agencies. Acting as a information and referral service. staff can refer families to drug treatment centers and other social service centers who address the needs and concerns of young people as well as adults. If possible, youth will be periodically taken on field trips during the 10 -week period which will include : plays, concerts, sports events, museums, art exhibits, filme restaurants, recreational activities, trips to supermarkets to teach them budget management, trips to the bank to educate youth regarding the process of opening a (Z) checking and savings account, trips to the local employment office, on -site visits to local businesses and personnel department to learn criteria for employment and respective job responsibilities, tours of colleges and universities for academic advice and career guidance and counseling. The youth will have options regarding his particular areas of interest. Staff will be available to simply guide him /her In the right direction and teach him various strategies of networking. Staff will accompany youth on their initial job interview to offer moral support. They will also be available after the interview to critique with youth how the interview went. If they got the job, it will be explored by the staff and youth as to how the youth feel he /she got the job. What did the applicant do right for getting the job. If the youth did not get a particular job they went for a interview on, it will be explored why the youth was not hired for the job. The youth will be taught different techniques on how to get the type of job they want. If there are certain problem areas that need to be worked on a staff member will address this to the youth during training sessions. Parents will be encouraged to participate in this program with the youth. Parents will be asked to sign an agreement that they will work along with their child to help make this a valuable learning experience for both youth and parents. Parents that can afford various social experiences in terms of enrichment kinds of activities will be encouraged to accept full responsibility for their child's well- being. A positive relationship between parents, child, and staff is one of our major goals during this 10 week period. Youth will be encouraged to seek and develop new and positive friendships. They will be encouraged to not associate with others who use or sell drugs, or those that belong to gang affiliations. In order for a youth to be selected to participate in this program they will be asked to sign an agreement that they will no longer be involved with drug or gang activities under any circumstances. It is our goal to mainstream high risk youth back into society but we also realize that it will be the final deecision for the youth if they want to give up the lifestyle that they were sent to Juvenile Hall for or even suspended from school for. If the youth do get back into criminal activity during the program the youth will be dropped from this program and another youth will have the opportunity to have this vacant slot. E,MPIDYMOT IN PROGRAM After the youth have completed their 10 week training program and feel that they are ready to seek full -time employment, the job procurement counselor will work closely with the youth and prospective employer.

Alson known as "AGkPE" OBJECTIVE: This program is desiGned to encourage and develop self - esteem alonC with creative, artistic, and tecnical skills in youth. Youth receive "hands on" training classes, participate in workshops, and are involved in all aspects of creating a "live music video" Pa^el as such, because the pro duction will be Geared for live performance within the schools and local community, and for the purpose of video - taping. Video. Video - taping the final product allows the message of the music and the drama to be enjoyed as an educational tool in the school and community for years to come. T he fact must be faced that most music produced by the industry today Glorifies decadence and in some cases, negative role models. Yet the fact is music is probably the most powerful medium of expression today. It is our intention to involve kids totally in the development of music videos with positive messages that will also aid others in saying "a0" to gangs, drugs, and other evils of society. ;he curriculum materials with deal solely with peer pressure, self- esteem, and ot'er moral issues such as gangs, drugs, and family relationships. Subject matter trill be presented to the school district Board of Education officials for previewing and approval before the materials are presented to the students in the classroom.' ,..lthouGh certain subject matter can be serious in its implications, youth will al be left with a spirit of hope and victory. Our goal is to provide educational tctls th-ru the realization and understanding of these issues and problems. Secondly,•our goal is to relieve some of the peer pressure surrounding youth ;:her faced with joinin- a gang or taking drugs. Through the live performances and recorded videos, the ycuthwill shot: other youth that they are not alone. ;cost kids face the same problems. They can lean on each other for support and emulate those that have succeeded in saying no. Thirdly, and most importantly, the youth will be Given major responsibilities in every area. We believe this will increase their self - esteem and encourage them to assure responsiblility for theirot -n lives. It will keep them out of trouble rith motivating and positive alternatives. We can discourage idleness by meeting them where their interests lie. We can accomodate a variety of interests thru this medium. Thus another goal is to stimulate these interests and give insight into the career possibilities exist- ing within the arts, media, and entertainment industries. Youth should be resnon'sile for their own futures. Through these productions, "on the job" training is o ffered in the following area. Script writing, lyric writinG, basic musical composition, musical instrument performing, arranging music, producing video and audio, directing for actors (stage and screen), acting, musical directing, singing, dancing (fol.1:, ballet, tap, jazz, modern), choreographing, directing for camera, camera work, sound /audio work for camera, lighting and technical crew (grips and graffers, lighting design, scenic design (art/background art), costume desgn, make -up, special effects, props, editing, and sound dubbing. Our fianl goal is to get the youth to provide their own alternatives and answers which would be implimented though the process of the development of the production. Therefore the youth provide their own insight, experience and advise throuGhout every stage of the project, the naterails developed will be unjaded and t_ meet the youth where they are at. idhe can best relate to the problems youth face than youth themselves? ::e wish to. cultivate their own individual talents and expand upon them. We I eel that one of the major reasons that youth turn to gangs, drugs, criminal and ocher negative activity, are simply because they are bored. We feel that by offer- r them this unique educational experience, they will be encouraged to pursue _•roductive avenues. Youth will be in an open, secure environment where any problem presented will be lovingly dealt with. Directcr/teachers are exrort in these areas. They can lead and guide the youth to a fruitful, positive end thru a fun and exciting experience. We firmly beleeve that. through the joint efforts between this organization and unified school district, p L. we can provide these chi0ren with a vehicle to a irholes3"e, upriGht and posi- tiVE future i i Yl 0 LYI;e:00D SCHOOL PHOCaVI Ob jective A A four month program will be implimented in Lynwood Senior High School , thereby targeting 9th, 10th, 11th, and 12th grades for the months of September, October, Noveaber, and December of 1987 Tmrty Youths will be serviced as they participate directly directly in the workshops.

We believe youth need to be PUBLIC RELATIONS guided into positive directions and offered positive altern- BOARD OF DIRECTORS natives to negative activity. BISHOP ROBERT W. MCMURRAY RONALD C. HAMM, M.D. It is this organizations goal to provide the students of the DAVID MATSUMOTO, ATTY AT LAW Lynwood Lnified School District with a complete preventive REV. LOUIS A. CHASE VICTORIA SIMPSON educational program on the subjects of drug abuse which ORRIN MURRAY involves the use or selling of illicit drugs and gang member - ROSALANDMAINE ship. We believe that the only way we can put a dent in this CAMILOA BECERRA, ATT. AT LAW problem is to provide education in the areas of prevention, intervention, and rehabilitation. Our foremost interest, how- ever is early prevention. Drug abuse is a problem that has plaqued this society for many years, however, much attention has not been given to address this problem until the recent deaths of two young men who had promising careers in the sports world. These two men were lien Bias and Don Rogers whose deaths received national attention through the media. These two men were only in their early 20's. There are countless others including John Belushi of Saturday Nite Live, Richard Pryor who was tragicaaly burned while using cocaine, and the Heroin related arrest of Culture Club's Boy George. These are all well known famous people. Millions of people young and old have lost their lives or have been seriously injured due to drug abuse or gang membership. Many families have literally been destroyed as a result of alcoholism, drug, or gang membership. Businesses have suffered severe financial losses due to burglaries and robberies perpetrated by drug addicts who need instant money to support their daily drug habit. Some drug habits range from $100.00 dollars to $3,000.00 dollars per day. Most drug addicts are unemployed. They obtain most of their money by stealing. They not only robbed businesses, but they burglarize schools, churches, and private hares within the canmunity. Many lives have been lost to gang violence. There -was an 8% increase in cr imina l activity in Lynwood involving juveniles in 1985. There are 40 known gangs in Lynwood to date. Our program will offer positive alternatives to prevent this number from increasing in Lynwood. Lynwood youth deserve safe schools, free of drugs and gangs. Our "NO D.O.P PROGRAM" is an alternative to Crime- (1) YOUTH ORGANIZED and UNITED for COMMUNITY ACTION NETNORK, INC. nARRATIVE DESCRIPTION OF PROGRAM ACTIVITY: The schgoloutreach Anti -Drug and Anti -Gang educational program described in objective (A) will feature original elenents in this model. Training of the presenters for Lynwood will be done by Mrs. Carolyn Driver who worked as a consultant for Project JADE functioning in the capacity of Program Coordinator for JADE'S Alternative,to Gang Mesbership Program.

The applicant must prove if they have a history of drug addiction that they have been rehabilitated and are no longer using or selling illicit drugs. Last year Mary and Carolyn worked with Ex- offenders as well as drug addicts that were rehabilitated. These presenters proved to be a valuable asset to our program with Project JADE. The Ex- offenders and Reformed drug addict was able to share with the students first hand knowledge of their personal experiences with drugs and the legal system. They were able through their presentations convince students that getting involved with drugs or gangs was no fun thing. They all paid a dear price for their illegal activities. There will be two categories for hiring presentaters for this special program. The First Category: The applicant will have a history and strong background of knowledge in the field of Drug Abuse and Gang Membership. This person does not have to have a history of being a user of drugs or have been involved with gangs, but have worked in a program such as this one being proposed and have references that can be inquired about.

They must have a personality that is conducive to getting along well with others. This person must be able to work in a teamlike envi.rcment.

Second category: If the applicant has had personal experiences with "Drug usage or Gang Membership but has been rehabilitated by enrolling in a college or vocational school to better themselves so they can show other youths that using drugs and being involved in gangs is a waste of ones life. This person must submit three letters of verification of past employers, school instructors, rehabilitation counselors, clergy, etc. for the past 12 months.

(2) �- Program Narrative Continued As mentioned earlier in the first category, college students may apply to work in this program. Following is how college students will be utilized. Students in a two year or four year college will be involved in what is ]mown as our COLLDSE IN= PROGRAM." Students who are studying to became professional school teachers will be encrouraged to apply in their education department on their campuses. The student that would be recruited for this special program will be majoring in Education, Social Sciences, or the Humanities. For those who need certification of hours in the classroom, it might be possible to earn on -site tr ainin g as a presenter for one or two semesters. These would be voluntary positions which would help the student meet their State Fequirement for classroom teaching experience. The student teacher would have the option of writing their own lesson plans and teaching them to the students or use the lesson plans that have already been written for classroom presentation. The students will be recruited from nearby colleges such as Ccanpton Junior College in Campton, California or California State University Doninquez Hills in Carson California. The student will be in the classroom a minimum of 15 to 20 hours per week. The goal of this component is to assist the student teacher with the necessary classroom hours that can be applied toward their teaching credentialwhich will give the student hands -on experience. It will also serve the purpose of helping the student teacher network with in the school district in terms of greeting principals while on the school site that may need teachers at a particular school for the next school year. The principal will have the opportunity to greet these new prospective teachers early in their careers and may be able to utitlize their new skills while the student is on campus. This student teacher will also have to go through the same training to be a classroom presenter just as other presenters. The program coordinator will work closely with the individual school districts credential officer to assist the students who are interested in ob tainin g earned hours needed to meet their requirements for their California teaching credential. Each student will be screened by a panel of not less than two people. The student will be given an oral interview before final selection is grade.

Please let me know if any other information is necessary. I look forward to hearing from you on this proposal. Very truly yours, JULIUS CRAIG 'WHL�SON Directing Attorney JCW:mx Encls. APPLICATION FOR CITY OF LYNWOOD COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT FUNDS I. STATEMENT OF NEED The best efforts of Community Legal Services still falls short of meeting the actual need for legal services. Applying estimates of the American Bar Association concerning legal needs to the staffing and caseload capacities of Community Legal Services, we estimate that, for every person served by Legal Services, three other poor persons experience legal problems that go unattended. The agency addresses the legal problems of the poor and elderly by insuring that they have access to our legal system, that statutory schemes operate as the legislature intended, and that beneficiaries of government programs receive all to which they are entitled. II. PROPOSAL The Compton office of Community Legal Services proposes to open an office in the City of Lynwood to provide outreach legal services to those persons who for reasons of distance, disability,'or lack of transportation cannot come into the Compton office. Currently residents of Lynwood are served by the Compton Office and must compete with residents from over 10 cities to receive legal assistance. These cities include Carson, Compton, Cudahy, Huntington Park, Maywood, Southgate, Walnut Park, East,Compton, West Compton, and Willowbrook. Based on the 1980 census there are approximately 104,155 persons residing in these cities and in the city of Lynwood who are potentially eligible to receive legal services (persons with incomes falling below 1258 of the poverty threshold). The services to be provided include eligibility screening, information and referral, advice and counseling, and negotiation and representation in litigation. Substantive areas in which legal assistance will be provided include domestic violence, child custody, evictions, SSI, for the elderly and disabled, unemployment benefits, amnesty applications under the new immigration law, and many other problems. These services are currently being provided to Lynwood residents out of the Compton office as discussed above. In order to be eligible to receive legal assistance the applicant's income must fall below 125% of the poverty threshold -- for instance a family of four may not have a weekly income that exceeds $264.00.. Senior citizens over the age of 60 are also eligible for services regardless of their income. E 11 Those cases not accepted for representation will be given referrals to private attorneys through Legal Aid's Lawyer Referral Service or appropriate social service agencies or will be supplied with an information packet laying out step by step the action needed to be taken. The following case summaries illustrate the kinds of problems which have been handled by Legal Aid. Irrelevant particulars have been changed so as to preserve confidentiality. CASE HISTORY 1 The client is a senior citizen. Her income comes from Social Security and General Relief. She owns her own home but her house payments are only $45.00 per month. She was admitted as an emergency patient to a local hospital. Since her own doctor was out of town she was treated by staff physicians. On the assumption that she had medical insurance coverage she was subjected to a barrage of tests; the client felt so strongly that she was being given unnecessary tests, she began to refuse further testing. She was discharged after a week still exhibiting the same symptoms which caused her admission in the first place. She went to her own doctor who cleared up her problems within a couple of days. The client came into the office with a lawsuit filed by a collection agency. By the time the insurance carrier had denied coverage it was too late for her to seek Medi -Cal coverage. Because of her limited income she was unable to make payments. If the lawsuit had gone by default the client would have risked losing her home to an execution sale. We tried to settle the case with some money the client had borrowed from her children. The collection agency refused to settle because they wanted to get a lien against her home. We represented her at trial and won, thereby preventing the loss of the client's home. CASE HISTORY 2 The client is a veteran confined to a wheelchair. He entered into negotiations with a real estate agent for the purchase of a home. The agent was given very detailed instructions on what was required such as wide doors, a bathroom large enough to maneuver a wheelchair, etc. The agent selected a house which the client was unable to inspect because he was bedridden., When the client tried to back out of the deal he was informed he would have to pay approximately $1,000.00 in order to withdraw from escrow. After negotiation between Legal Aid and the owner of the real estate agency the clieht was allowed to withdraw from escrow for approximately $250.00 which represented costs of processing loan papers, etc. The client was advised that he could possibly get a better settlement but he was satisfied with the results. -2- 0 0 CASE HISTORY 3 The client is a middle -aged female. She came into the office because she was notified that her Supplemental Security Income would be terminated. The client has a history of mental disorder. Although she is able to function in a controlled environment', she is incapable of functioning in a normal work environment. Without government benefits she would have been evicted from her board and care home due to lack of income. Legal Aid represented her at the Fair Hearing and she obtained a favorable decision allowing her to remain on S.S.I. The services described above may be provided as outlined in Model Aior Model B below. i i MODEL A Model A provides for staffing the Lynwood Outreach office with a full -time paralegal, one part -time attorney, and a part -time receptionist /legal secretary. { i In this model the Lynwood office will be open Monday through Friday from 9:00 a.m, to 5:00 p.m. Persons requesting assistance will be given the next available appointment; persons with emergencies will be seen immediately as walk -ins.

Jointly, these young people accounted for 27 percent of the total population, which is close to 7.5 million people (see Table IA, 1B and Addendum). Of the many problems confronting these young individuals, the most pressing was by far substance use and abuse and personal violence. In fact, the rate of drug use i U.S. public school is the highest of all industrialized nations (National Ins i titute on Drug Abuse, 1982, p. 14). i Unfortunately, substance usage has created even broader behavioral problems I among our youth. These tendencies are evidenced in incidences of declines in education (dropout rate), teenage pregnancy, gang activity and violence and intentional injury. ! PURPOSE The primary purpose of the proposal is to identify methods of and preventing social, interpersonal and physical obstacles to the healthy development of children, youth and families in the Lynwood community from all ethnic backgrounds. a 0 *Percentage in the total K -6, 7 -8 and 9 -12 GT = Grand Total of School Population -- 13,065 - 5 - • • i SCHOOL AGE POPULATION Grade No. of Students * % % of G.T.

The goals are as follows: Identify and train parents, youth, school officials (teachers), etc., in Early Detection /Prevention of substance'use and abuse, physical /mental i health illnesses and behavioral problems. Intervention would serve the purpose of providing youth and community persons Iwith a headquarter based in the community to offer advise to individuals needing assistance. This phase of the goals, will also make the necessary referrals to area Human Resource agencies in order to meet the perIon(s) health care needs. Evaluation Referred or counseled individuals will be monitored to make sure their needs or treatment /assistance have been met. Monitoring will also serve the purpose of evaluation, effective management and utilization of funds. SIGNIFICANCE One of the most significant elements of this proposal will be to eradicate or drastically r, educe our Youth's Dependency on Drugs the problem of substance use and /or abuse among our youth has reached epidemic proportions. In fact, the results of an area research institution study on adolescent drug involvement ias alarming. 1 Research study performed at the Fanon Research and Development Center in Los Angeles,1 in conjunction with both Martin Luther King, Jr. General Hospital and Augustus) F. Hawkins Mental Health Center, 1986. According to the findings, 4,439 individuals under the age of 18, entered Martin Luther;King, Jr. General Hospital for negative reactions to drugs. Of th ±at total 2,327 for alcohol 520 for cocaine 537 for One significant factor , of this proposal will be early identification and training of individuals in the awareness of substance use and abuse among youth. Early, detection and identification is important because of the broad implications which are evident in crises such as teenage suicide, junior and senior high school dropout as well as drug addiction. i Another impor',tant element of significance to this project is intervention which will alflow trained individuals to aid and assist youth in the early stages of the'ir crisis. This process of intervention will result in immediate help for the 'youth before the problem becomes, not only a threat to the youth's health, but to the stability of the community. , Also significant to this proposal is the concept on evaluation for the purpose of monitoring This will be carried out by the employees of the youth center as a continuation to the intervention (and referral) process, workers at the center will keep up -to -date contact with area agencies regarding the youth's status. A community Board of Directors will also be needed. The program will also provide the following alternatives: I Career. Youth will be placed in an one -on -one situation with a career counselor, who will, have obtained necessary information on the youth so that they are able to point out the youth's strong points and not so strong points.; futhermore, youth will no longer feel locked into the one option syndrome (this is the option of going on to college; although we perceive it to be the best option, youth should have more career choices). , , -9 , 1 Recreational Alternatives Because; we have, in the past, placed so much emphasis on ghetto sports in the inner —city, youths who have not or can not excel in these sports are not inclined to develop themselves physically, although they need the mental and emotional relief that physical sports provide. i Musical Alternatives For inner —city youth, obtaining music lessons has always been a problem i for obvious economic reasons. However, as research will indicate, music is and continues to be an excellent means of therapy and an avenue for i mental development of any individual. This therapy has been beneficial for slow learners, negative errants, geriatric patients suffering from isolation and depression and an array of other disorders or ailments. Due to the the alarming increase in substance use and abuse among our youth, there exist a need to exercise a greater amount of influence. In other words, we must create a positive force to compete with the negative, forces by creating a positive educational atmosphere conducive to learning after school is out for the day (see diagram of proposed site). Here, th'e proposition for a soundproof study room with tutors, organized tutorial Isessions, modern library facilities and limited research staff. ME THODOLOGY Youth and other individuals participating in the Center's activities will be accepted based on their different needs and commitment to community involvement. jOne important index, will be referrals from area schools, churches and ' parents. The design ofithe program will be implemented as follows: 1 i — 10 — I As part 'of the requirements for membership to the Center and in order to participate in activities offered by the Center, area youth will be asked to sign a contract. For example: I Uouth'sperson name) do hereby agree to abide by the rules of the (Center's name) ! This contract will also be signed by the director of the Center as well a P the youth's /individuals parents) /guardian. Furthers each individual will take part in a session with the resident psychologist as part of our psychosocial evaluation. Individuals /youths will be given a membership card. Each day that this person i at the center, he /she should check the number on his /her card with that identical number at the receptionist desk. This is done so r participation can be monitored. r This organization will be a training program designed to educate the entire community on issues of substance use and abuse, physical and mental i;.11nesses impacting the youth and other citizens of Lynwood. The intent is to detect and provide attention to situations, noted above, before they become problem situations. i The time,for such a program will take a minimum of three years, although yearly evaluations will be provided. At such times, the city or a private institution would be able to operate the program very effectively, at the same time, keep the upper hand on issues and situations) negatively impacting the City of Lynwood. Youth wi,ll become quite aware of the positive elements associated with good living through our awards and merit system (see rewards). • i The key to this proposal and significance of its approval and funding are: ° The bringing together of area youth and peace officers in an atmosphere of mutual understanding and benefit ensuring the successful transforming of the city into a heaven for good human relationship. In 1984, there were 66,470 youth under the age of 18 arrested. Of that total, 33,136 were felonies (Juvenile Fact Sheet, Probation Office, County of Los Angeles). This cannot continue. We propose to secure the old Thrifty building, place in it a Nautilas Weight Equipment Room and offer the use of the facility to the Sheriff's Department and the youth in Lynwood. ° Establishing a working rapport with parents, community and clergy as well as the Lynwood Unified School District to maximize early intervention. This would allow us to monitor a student's progress or lack of progress, whereby that we do not allow a student to participate in activities when he /she is failing or doing poorly in school (see Youth Center Contract). The monitoring, we predict, will ensure a reduction in the dropout rate in Lynwood Junior and Senior Nigh Schools. An attrition rate that is astronomical. In the Los Angeles Unified School district, of the 67,176 sophomores who entered senior high during the 1982 -83 school year, 42 percent departed before their scheduled graduation date. In comparison, figures from the Lynwood Unified School District superintendent's office showed, for senior high students, 21 percent (676 of 3,206) dropped -out and for junior high students, 20 percent (399 of 1,988) dropped -out.* Although the Lynwood figures are lower than those Los Angeles Unified School district, to be such a small school district with this number of dropout indicates the need for remedial work. These figures are quite 2 Management Information Center, State Department of Education (California Basic Educational Data System). *There was not any measure given for calculating such figures outside of the obvious process of calculations. MFG high, and to the inhabitants, unacceptable. Ouprocess of student monitoring (see methodology) will allow for us to interact with students, identify their needs and assist them in improving their peformance standards. ° Endeavoring to create programing that would interface youth with senior citizens for their mutual benefit. In this case, we will establish an adult health care program, that will monitor the health needs of older adults and administered by trained youth. This program will be supervised by professional physicians. REWARDS Unlike most resource institutions or youth centers where emphasis is sometimes placed solely on 'those over achievers, every student who joins the center will be given a T —shirt and major discounts in sports wear, and other rewards to be considered at a later date. Student participation and positive behavior will be awarded with tickets to events such as plays, professional sporting events and concerts. Performance incentives will be offered in the form of all of the above. The student(s) who best exemplifies the character of the youth program and the City of Lynwood, will become our ambassador. This person will take part in our exchange program. He /she will have a preplanned itinerary by which they will meet with other youth and city officials of other states and /or counties to demonstrate and discuss the effectiveness of our program. EVALUATION The evaluation process will entail the use of the third phase of the goal statement (see goals). — 13 — Through the process 00monitoring youth and other clients, staff will be able to stay current on the effects of the program. By keeping individual files on every youth participant, periodical checks will be made to the school regarding the youth's academic endeavors (see contract). Both phases will be calculated and the totals will be forwarded to the Lynwood City Council, parents and the school district. ACCOUNTING DEPARTMENT PROCEDURES Basic Bookkeeping Procedures — Summary Statement The agency currently maintains a double —entry basis account system for recording financial transactions, cash receipts journal, cash disbursements journal and a general ledger. We use the cash basis accounting method during the year and then convert to the accrual basis for year end financial statements and reporting as required by Los Angeles County and by Accounting and Financial Reporting: A Guide for Non — Profit Human Service Organizations Also, an independent auditing firm, which will be named later, will review the Center's financial statement at the end of the year. SERVICES PROVIDED A. Training of area youth, adults, parents and community leaders in early detection and prevention. This training will be done to detect: 1. substance use and abuse; 2. physical and mental health problems; and 3. monitor academic performance. B. Intervention 1. Counseling: Youth or patient /subject will be counseled based on needs assessment and problem(s). — 14 — 2. Referral: Youth subjects will be referred to area human resource agencies based on counselor's recommendations. 3. Stress Reduction - Sessions: These programs will be instituted if first recommended by counselors. As part of the stress reduction, Yoga will be introduced to youth and other individuals. C. Career Alternatives 1. Career and college selection counseling will be provided. 2. Job placement will be made — after school job referrals will be made to students whose progress academically is satisfactory. I D. Recreational Alternative Boxing The Student Resource Center will have two boxing rings donated and will initiate an amateur boxing program. Yoaa The Center will provide, as a means of giving the youths new options at becoming acquainted with new health /resource avenues, courses in Yoga and other physiological forms of relaxation. Go1f ing Attempts will be made to acquaint the youth with as many new sports programing as possible of which golf will be one. gymnastics Beginning courses in gymnastics will be offered. As part of a donation from the Los Angeles Organizing Olympic Committee (LAOOC), intermediate sessions in gymnastics will be offered at Hollenbeck Youth Center in East Los Angeles. Once the youth reaches the stage for intermediate gymnastics, the use of Hollenbeck's facilities will be at their disposal. They will be transported by insured vehicles in a joint effort by both institutions. -Qoorts Clinics Contact will made with professional athletes from the Los Angeles area and those who are actually from this area, to promote sports clinic during the off seasons in basketball, football and baseball. — 15 — The fundamentals 9 each sport (basketball, footb• and baseball) will be demonstrated by a professional athlete in that particular sport. Organized leagues in basketball, football and baseball will be conducted. Leagues will include youth (boys and girls) and adults (males and females). E. Music Lessons Part of the requested building will hopefully be soundproof, enabling those youth who wish to take part in music lessons to do so. Different instruments will be voted on and the three most popular selections will be adapted. F. Education Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT) and American College Test (ACT) ° Seminars and tutorials on taking both college entrance tests will be given to youth and other individuals planning to go to college. ° All area athletes will be encouraged to participate in summer educa- tional seminars. 0 16 — 0 PROPOSAL 48 & 49 NCAA new academic standards for incoming freshmen (Proposal 48), which require minimum score on either of the national aptitude tests, Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT) or American College Testing (ACT), and a minimum grade average in a core curriculum of high school courses that includes three years of English, two years of math, two years of social science and two years in a natural or physical science. The National Collegiate Athletic Association requires a score of 700 on either of the tests and a grade point average of 2.0. Also, under the same rule (Proposal 48 & 49), an athlete will lose a year's eligibility. Instead of five years to play four years of athletics, an individual will have just four years of eligibility when he /she is declared ineligible during the freshman year. EDITOR'S NOTE: As of this writing, there have been 397 athletes (224 football players; 120 basketball players and 53 other athletes — baseball, hockey, track, etc.), who have been declared ineligible to compete in their freshman seasons because of the NCAA's new academic standards. These figures are disturbing. One of the long —term goals of the Center is to work more directly with inner —city college athletes and teachers to assure the students high aptitude test scores, better overall readiness and a greater balance between athletics and academics, both in high school and in subsequent years in college. — 17 — • BOARD OF DIRECTORS AFFIDAVI All applicant agencies must complete this affidavit listing the members of the -Board of Directors and all other officers.
