Details of Specific Program for Which Funding is Requested 21. PROGRAM DESCRIPTION: PACE Center for Girls of Monroe continues to operate two non-residential, therapeutic alternative education programs for girls, ages 12 -17 who are at~isk of dropping out of school, are truant, and are failing in the public schools. PACE offers a comprehensive gender specific middle and high school program to twenty girls at one time at each of the two full service centers located in Islamorada and Key West. An outreach program, call PACE Reach, provides academic and counseling services to ten students at a time and is located on the Marathon High School campus. Marathon girls wishing to participate PACE's full-service academic program are bused to the Key West Center. PACE provides students with a 1:10 teacher/student ratio and has full time social workers available to assist students and their families with counseling and case management services. In addition, PACE provides aftercare and follow- up service to girls and their families for up to three years after exiting the academic component. Continuation of the county funded Teacher's Assistants Program will allow PACE to provided the one-on-one assistance required to assist the girls to become academically successful in order to effectively transition back to public school or gmduate. Without this program, or the Teacher's Assistants Program many of these girls would not successful continue their education. PACE had 18 students graduate last year, with many of them going on to higher education. The Teacher's Assistant program has significantly enhanced PACE's academic program as evidenced in the expanded opportunities that we are able to offer to students, and the number of credits (courses completed with a C grade or higher) earned towards graduation, (See Semi-annual report submitted in March '00). 22. PROBLEMlNEED, TARGET POPULATION: 23. DATA SUPPORT PROBLEM: Girls face different challenges than boys, which dictates a different approach. Self-esteem - self- confidence declines with age for girts, but not for boys, (Carnegie Council on Adolescent Development, 1996). Depression - one in four girls exhibit depressive symptoms - a rate 60% higher than that for boys, (Carnegie Council on Adolescent Development, 1996). Sexual Abuse - girls are sexually abused almost three times more often than boys, (National Center on Child Abuse and Neglect, 1997). Victims of Violence - up to 73% of girls involved in the juvenile justice sys1em report being victims of violence, especially sexuaJ abuse, (Profiles of Delinquent Cases and Youth Referred 1995-96, Florida Dept, of Juvenile Justice). Safety-78% of violent acts against females are committed by people they know, (Bureau of Justice Statistics, 1995). According to the results of the /999 Monroe County Youth Risk Behavior Study high risk behaviors were reported in a number of areas. This study's sample consisted of an equal mix of males and femaJes in grades 9-12. Of the over 2,000 students who participated, 28% reported that they felt so sad or hopeless almost everyday for 2 weeks or more in a row that they did not participate in usual activities. 6SOk had ever smoked cigarettes, with 31% reporting current use, and 33% having tried to quite. 58% reported at least one drink of alcohol during the 30 days preceding the survey with 37% reporting that they have five or more drinks in a row on one or more days of the 30 days prior to the survey. 524'k reported having ever used marijuana, with 31% haVing used at least once during the 30 days preceding the survey. 56% reported ever having intimate relations, with 2rok reporting substance use prior to their last sexual encounter. PACE Center for Girls of Monroe offers the onlv alternative, therapeutic educational program for girls, ages 12-17 who have been identified for high risk behaviors, and who are failing or are truant or have dropped out of the public school system. 24.
