a) In order to be considered for funding, Area Projects must plan to provide the following services:
1) Community organizing, which shall seek to
change conditions that weaken the community and put its youth at risk, through
activities such as the building of community organizations, community
development/ redevelopment, and efforts directed at improving community
environmental, educational, political and other problem conditions.
2) Advocacy services on behalf of the local
population, both youth and their families, either:
A) directly with employers, parents, schools
and other service providers; or with the key persons of the juvenile justice
system (i.e., police, courts and the Department/Division), or
B) indirectly through such actions as
assisting youth and families to seek advocacy services in the
community.
3) Direct
services to the youth themselves when deemed necessary by the Area Project,
should serve as a means of involving community residents. Direct services shall
be:
A) identified and developed by the local
residents.
B) provided by the
Community Committee(s) or volunteers.
C) delivered on an informal basis as opposed
to the traditional casework modality.
D) directly related to the problem identified
in the community needs assessment and address the specific needs which are
identified as part of the program plan.
E) structured in such a way as to encourage
the recruitment and involvement of both youth and adult community residents as
volunteers.
b) The Area Project shall attempt to secure written service brokerage agreements with local social service agencies and network with these service providers to make use of the existing services and resources, avoiding duplication of services and enhancing community involvement.
