General Project Information
Project Title: BE THE CHANGE: MONROE YOUTH CHALLENGE VIOLENCE AND
SUBSTANCE ABUSE PREVENTION
Subgrant Recipient: Monroe County Board of Commissioners
Implementing Agency: Monroe County Board of Commissioners
Project Start Date: 10/1/2011 End Date: 9/30/2012
Problem Identification
a. Due to the economic downturn the state and nation are experiencing prevention programs are
being eliminated at a rapid pace. Title IV, Safe and Drug Free Schools, was zero'd out completely
in 2010. In 2011, the Federal program US Learn and Serve was cut. These programs were the
primary programs addressing the prevention and reduction of alcohol and other drugs use (ATOD)
and violence and bullying. The replacement of the programs, Safe and Healthy Communities, are
only being funneled to large communities like Miami-Dade or Broward. Yet, it is well established
that Monroe County faces many of the same risk factors that would be found in those
communities.
According the Florida Youth Substance Abuse Survey 2010, Monroe County youth consistently
reported a higher ATOD use than elsewhere in Florida.
55.8% of Monroe youth ages 10-18 reported using alcohol, while 51.5% is the state average.
29.6% of youth ages 10-18 reported using Marijuana, while the state average is 23.8%.
47.1% of Monroe County High School aged youth, 15-18, reported using illicit drugs at least once,
an increase of 6.5% of the state average.
Monroe County youth also report higher occurrences of violence and bullying than the state
average.
45.8% of Monroe County Middle School aged youth, 10-14, reported being teased or taunted.
The state average is 36.1 almost a 10% difference.
26.5% middle school youth reported being kicked or shoved, an 8.4% increase than the state
average.
It is not fiscally sound to further reduce prevention efforts in our county. In section C there is
information showing that how we as a community have reduced ATOD use in the past 10 years
since the decision to utilize Byrne trust money to further this effort. This reduction of these risky
behaviors will correlate to fewer adult addictions, and costly rehabilitation and incarceration.
B. The philosophy that MYCP utilized when developing programming is that all teens are at risk.
Every youth in the county is encouraged to participate in the program. Certain ages are
specifically targeted, such as the transition age of 8-9 grade where it is documented that students
are at a greater risk of feeling isolated and may resort to risky behaviors to "fit-in". At this age they
are also at a greater risk of being bullied. The goal of MCYP with our community partners, is to
change what youth see as "normal" in our schools and neighborhoods. When they feel it is
normal to

Rule Reference 11 D-9.006 OCJG-005(rev.April 2005)

Justice Assistance Grant - County-wide
"Be The Change," risky behaviors are no longer thought of as normal.
According to the SAMSHA proven effective curriculum, Project Alert, more than 90% of the
nation?s youth believe that 78% of the teens in their school smoke marijuana. Yet the number is
far less. We need to change their perception.
Monroe County youth often show a lower occurrence of protective factors or assets when
compared to both the state and national average. These high risks combined with low protective
assets put our youth in danger. There are many risk factors that may influence the youth of
Monroe increasing the impulse to self-medicate with substances, engage or endure bullying and
violence, have low school attendance, drop out of school, exhibit criminal behavior and an overall
lack of productivity, experience depression, and even commit suicide.
MYCP delivers unduplicated empowering programs to Monroe County youth. The programs,
whether they are for the pre-school age group or high school, all encompass the Search Institutes
Developmental Assets®. The emphasis is on closing the achievement gap, drug, alcohol, tobacco
and crime-prevention, and safety education. MYCP is determined to provide environments for the
youth to thrive academically and socially. Our county wide year round services include
educational, preventative, recreational, cultural, informational, referral, training and other services.
C. The Monroe County Substance Abuse Task Force continues to make prevention a priority.
Funding MYCP has been a strong contributor to a real solution to the above problems. As a
community it is our responsibility to keep youth safe. To do this we must increase protective
factors (developmental assets See Attachment A) and decrease risk factors.
The fewer assets possessed by a young person the more likely they will use drugs, alcohol or
engage in violent acts as indicated by the graph on the page (created by the Search Institute).
0-10 Assets 11-20 21-30 31-40
Alcohol 45% 26% 11% 3%
Violence 62% 38% 18% 6%
Illicit Drugs 34% 23% 11% 3%
According the FYSAS 2010 Monroe County is below national percentages in both Family and
School Pro-social Involvement for high school aged youth. In Religiosity, we are significantly
below the state average with Monroe at 43% and the national average at 62% Clearly our unique
county cannot rely only on parents, schools or churches to keep our youth safe. The community
must take on active role in this task.
MYCP is a grassroots, community-based organization that serves as a catalyst to keep the
community invested and involved in developing protective in our youth. Since the inception of
MYCP 2001 we have seen an increase Community based Pro-social Involvement. For the past
several years we have surpassed the national norm (the only area in which this is true). In 2010
65% of high school youth reported community rewards for pro-social behavior compared to 63%
nationally.

As the acute needs of the community become more epidemic, it is a common reaction to c
prevention programs and programs that build self-esteem, leadership and provide su an
all
avenue of communication for youth and the adults that care for them. This is exactlyopp and
PP
what is needed during these financially challenging times. osite of
47.1% of the Monroe County student-population qualifies for free or reduced lunches. That
number is increased from last year by 271 students. Family income and education continues to be
the best predictor of success in postsecondary education and in the job market. At the time of this
grant we have the School District's poverty rate as defined by the Federal Government is 14.89%
well above the poverty rate of the Country. As of May 2011 there are 263 students registered as
Homeless in our county.
It is extremely important that we as a community continue to lace
youth from risk. P importance on protecting our
Project Summary (Scope of Work)
MYCP addresses the need to reduce at risk behavior and enhance academic and social success
by building internal and external assets in youth that include self confidence, resilience, and
empathy, a sense of belonging, positive values and decision making skills. MYCP does this by
supporting the youth to BE THE CHANGE and MAKE A CHANGE. Each participant is equipped
with an experience that includes the capacity to influence their own thinking.
MYCP aims to address the root cause of the many problems our youth endure. To directly solve
the issues of bullying, substance abuse and violence, we seek to address the isolation, separation
and loneliness that underlie those above issues. Our organization strives to engage and empower
young people by fostering healthy connections and relationships with peers and adults. Young
people need to feel valued and inspired more than ever before so by engaging them as the
leaders that we see them to be, MYCP steers young people away from potentially harmful outlets
they may otherwise participate in if they lacked a community and opportunity to step into their
greatness and see the greatness of the people around them.
MYCP targets all Monroe County youth regardless of gender, age or academic performance.
MYCP seeks at-risk students, including those who have dropped out, have been arrested, failing
school or those who exhibit a sense of being isolated. MYCP also works directly with parents
since the goal of this project will be to minimize risky-youth behaviors and develop protective
factors for all youth in Monroe County. MYCP recognizes that the best change agents among
youth are other youth; therefore, MYCP will continue its comprehensive approach to providing
effective youth programming.
There are three main strategies that MYCP employs to counteract these risk factors: Parenting,
High School Leadership Opportunities, and Middle School Prevention programs.
1) Parenting and educational classes teaching effective discipline, ATOD prevention, healthy
communication, and health literacy. It also provides effective parent-networking. MYCP offers
Community Playgroups.
MYCP Community Playgroups were created to ease financial and emotional burden of

addressing the achievement gap between low income and other students. These disparaging
effects could be reduced as larger segments of the populations are serviced through playgroups
designed to teach parents how to raise their child ?s IQ and reduce parenting stress factors such
as matemal depression, and the risk of child neglect or abuse. The activities transfer real -life
parenting skills in a fun way and give the parent increased confidence on how to handle conflict
and discipline and the knowledge of how to provide needed services to their babies.
MYCP provides three distinct public playgroups throughout Monroe County in low- income, at -risk
neighborhoods. Monroe is a transient culture and these playgroups meet the needs of parents,
children, schools, and the community. Because they are held in common areas every week and
are free, they attract mothers with children from birth to school age where they easily and quickly
build trusting relationships. Through these relationships, information is transferred from
community-based initiatives to population groups who do not readily engage with public agencies
or utilize services. There are Spanish speaking and English speaking Playgroups.
2) Middle School years are often the turning point for youth. Many students drop out of school
shortly after ninth grade. A spike in discipline incidents occur in the 6th -9th grade years. MYCP
believes targeting this age group will provide the youth support to avoid risky behavior.
Prevention and transition programs are devised specifically by students for students and target
the immediate needs of that population. Most programs are designed by high school students who
have benefited from MYCP's Leadership programs.
An example is our 8th Grade Transition Program which had been developed to end school rivalry
and bullying for students from middle school as they enter the high school. Youth created events
entice students from all socioeconomic ranges and provide information as to the real threats of
emotional burdens throughout the school including, racism, violence, bullying and harassment and
promote the development of stronger relationships among students and their peers, family and
community.
MYCP signature - programs create alliances for youth with the understanding of the common
challenges they face. MYCP actively searches for students on campus suffering from alienation,
who do not feel connected to the school and work to develop their sense of purpose and
empowerment.
Strengthening students? emotional health, redirecting negative factors and empowering the
individuals to overcome obstacles lead to a reduction in risky behavior.
3) High School programs are the primary focus of MYCP's daily delivery. One example is the
mentoring program. High School youth are trained to provide effective mentorship which includes
tutoring, character development and asset building. They weekly visit their young mentees and it
has a profound impact on not only the elementary aged youth but also on the mentor. The mentor
is expected to keep up their grades, have no discipline issues, and keep a minimal amount of
absences to serve as a mentor. Some of our youth will be serving as youth mentors who had
been mentored by MYCP youth four years ago. Our elementary students are achieving on
standardized tests, have improved attendance and reduced behavior issues. It increases
engagement in the educational experience for all involved.

Other programming that will be offered to youth this year is Challenge Day and PeaceJam. Both
national programming that teach youth to be self- empowered, and to understand that the adults
around them value them. These help to further our mission to for every child in Monroe County to
feel safe, loved and celebrated.
Significance to the Community - MYCP provides essential, asset building activities for youth in our
community. In this time of economic limitations, as families and agencies are cutting back, these
activities will be more needed than ever. The goals of JAG are the very same goals of MYCP and
several time the FDLE has chosen MYCP as their site visit and have found the program
exceedingly valuable. The sheer number of hours and clients that are served with these funds
make every dollar given worthwhile.
No Duplication - MYCP's brings together other agencies, volunteers, and youth to provide the
fabric of oversight needed for our community for a fraction of the cost of other agencies. The
majority of other agencies in our community only target families and children, who suffer from
addiction, or abuse, and whose issues are substantially more costly to the tax - payers. Funding
MYCP with the full amount will certainly be a savings for tax - payers but may also save pain for the
individuals who experience loss from isolations, drugs, violence and other risky behavior.
