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 Application Ref # 2012 -JAGC -1769 Section #2 Page 1 of 6 Contract - JAGC -MONR- - - Rule Reference 11 D4006 OCJG -005 (rev. April 2005) Application for Funding Assistance Florida Department of Law Enforcement 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. Application Ref # 2012 -JAGC -1769 Section #2 Page 2 of 6 Contract - JAGC -MONR- - - Rule Reference 11 D -9.006 OCJG -005 (rev. April 2005) Application for Funding Assistance Florida Department of Law Enforcement Justice Assistance Grant - County -wide As the acute needs of the community become more epidemic, it is a common reaction to curtail all prevention programs and programs that build self- esteem, leadership and provide support and avenue of communication for youth and the adults that care for them. This is exactly opposite of what is needed during these financially challenging times. 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 place importance on protecting our youth from risk. 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 Application Ref # 2012 -JAGC -1769 Section #2 Page 3 of 6 Contract - JAGC -MONR- - - Rule Reference 11 D -9.006 OCJG -005 (rev. April 2005) Application for Funding Assistance Florida Department of Law Enforcement Justice Assistance Grant - County-wide 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 maternal 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.

April 2005) Application for Funding Assistance Florida Department of Law Enforcement Justice Assistance Grant - County-wide 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.
