General Project Information
Project Title: MONROE YOUTH CHALLENGE MIDDLE SCHOOL PROGRAM
Project Sequence No: 0
subgrantee: Monroe County Board of Commissioners
Implementing Agency: Monroe County Board of Commissioners
Project Start Date: 10/1/2005 End Date: 9/30/2006
Problem Identification
Problem Identification
The Problems to which the Monroe Youth Challenge Program (MYCP) are responding are: 1)
increases in middle school fighting and bullying, alcohol-related usage, suspension rates, and
arrests; and 2) decreases in the age that students are reporting using gateway drugs _ in
particular, cigarettes and alcohol.
Significance
These problems are significant because: 1) early usage of gateway drugs such as alcohol and
tobacco is often a precursorto the use of harder drugs such as methamphetamine and cocaine;
2) there is a noteworthy correlation between alcohol or chemical dependency and criminal activity
according to several studies released by the National Institute of Child Health and Human
Development (NICHD); 3) fighting and bullying are the major causes of violence in middle schools
which, in turn, are the most common reasons for out of school suspensions; and 4) increased
suspension rates correlate to increased drop out rates.
The at risk youth, their families, victims as well as the local community as a whole are affected by
the social and economic cost of the increase in juvenile substance abuse and crime.
Needs Assessment.
The scope of the problem of middle school usage of gateway drugs, in particular, alcohol and
tobacco, is indicated by surveyed Monroe County high school students reporting that they first
used cigarettes at 12.4 years old, had tried alcohol at 13.2, and drank at least once a month at
14.8. This was self reported in the 2004 Florida Youth Substance Abuse Survey which also
showed that 22.5% of Monroe County middle school students drank alcohol in the past 30 days.
(2.2% higher than the state average).
The same study showed an increasing trend in the delinquent behavior of Monroe County middle
school students involving arrests and attacking someone with intent to do harm. The Sheriff's
office reported that middle school students represent less than 1/3 of the total students, yet
constitute 60% of the 50 reported citations and arrests in school year 04/05. Of the 30 middle
school arrests, 80% were due to fighting or battery on other students or staff.

Project Summary
Project Summary
One Year Goals:
Reduce teasing and bullying behavior by 5% among middle school students.
Facilitate decision making and conflict resolution programs to decrease the number of reported
fights in the middle school setting by 5%.
Assist in the reduction of alcohol usage, specifically binge drinking, by middle school students by
5% in the 2005-2006 school year as reported in Florida Youth Self Assessment Survey.
Two Year Goals:
Create a Be The Change Club at Middle Schools in which students demonstrate a commitment to
drug-free norms, community service and peer support via school wide campaigns, service
projects and Natural Helpers.
Increase the use among middle school students of community based training programs and youth
services by 5%.
The provider will be the Monroe County Education Foundation; its address is 241 Trumbo Road,
Key West, FL 33040
The relationship of the County to the provider is contractual.
A license is not required. All Substance abuse education is provided by third party agencies or
motivational speakers in assemblies or classroom presentations. MYCP only coordinates events
and is not the primary provider of any substance abuse trainings.
This is not a new activity for the service provider. Over the past 4 years, we have developed a
variety of programs for high school students designed to reduce violence and other at-risk
behaviors, and improve peer relations, while increasing personal life and leadership skills. MYCP
has hosted over 20 Challenge Days providing anti violence training to over 1700 students.
MYCP sponsored BE THE CHANGE clubs and a leadership class during the day at each high
school.
MYCP sponsored anti drug and anti violence trainings in all the high schools such as the Florida
National Guard's Knight Vision Drug Education Training.
In a letter dated April 28, 2003, Coral Shores High School (CSHS) counselor, Cindy Ypsilanti
said, "I have seen a tremendous change in our students' relationships with each other on campus'
and in the community since many of the strategies of community service, mentoring and helping
each other has come to fruition through such programs we have implemented in the Upper Keys
as Challenge Day, Ropes training, Natural Helpers, and the S.M.I.L.E. club ( Students Mentoring
in Life Everyday) during the past

Project Summary (Continued)
two years. Students are learning how to effectively communicate through active listening,
problem solving and they bring real concerns to adults as needed. Teenagers go through difficult
times trying to fit in and belong to a peer group. By identifying this process as a common and
universal need through the interactive supportive programs, students are learning that they are
not alone in this process of growing and finding themselves. These program initiatives have
become the heart and soul of our school."
She also found that Leadership Class participants had an average increase of .2 in their
accumulative grade point average via a sampling of student grades.
A review of the 2002-03 School Environmental Safety Incident Reports showed that CSHS overall
incidents of anti social behavior had a decrease of 67%.
Incidents of arrests for high school students dropped from 7.7 in 2001 to 6.9 in 2004 and incidents
of attacks with intent to harm dropped from 12.3 in 2001 to 10.9 in 2004.
We cooperate with numerous community agencies and civic clubs, including Rotary, Sheriff Dept,
American Red Cross, Big Brothers Big Sisters, and 4H.
Staff includes:
Community Development Coordinator: will develop partnerships and build up the volunteer
groups. This will be done by regular meetings for volunteers and email.
Prevention Coordinator: oversees community projects, trainings and campaigns, done in
conjunction with a school liaison and teacher.
Admin. Asst.: will handle correspondence, financial management, policies and procedures, public
relations, special projects, volunteer coordination program evaluations, data management.
Challenge Day and Conflict Resolution training are planned for Prevention Coordinators and adult
volunteers.
Key Personnel are the Prevention Coordinators who coordinate the imp'ementation and
evaluation of all trainings and student planned events. They may also provide direct training to
students, school faculty or staff and community volunteers.
The number of staff who will be providing project activities is four; they are contract staff, fifty
percent of the positions will be funded with project funds.
There is no project equipment.
Project Location.
Throughout Monroe County, public and private middle schools and youth providers.

Project Summary (Continued)
Monroe Youth Challenge Program will offer the following activities:
Motivational assemblies and speakers, Gateway Drug and Anti Bullying Trainings, Peer
Education, School Clubs and Service Projects, and Natural Helpers Peer Assistance Program.
One Contact hour with one student is the unit of measurement. This includes training, drug-free
events, and service projects.
The project will perform this activity weekly
An average of 20 middle school youth will be involved per activity. Some will have fewer. Some,
such as assemblies may have 300 students.
MYCP will provide a minimum of 2000 defined units. This would reflect half of the middle
schoolers in the county receiving 2 contact hours of anti drug, anti violence, or life skills training.
Our target group is middle school age students of both sexes at all Monroe County schools.
Participants will be selected by teachers, counselors, and administrators. The Prevention
Coordinator will recruit additional at-risk students. Students who will be Natural Helpers are
chosen by fellow students.
The only criterion for participants to qualify for programs is that they be in middle school. Students
with at-risk behaviors such as excessive referrals, absences, tardies, or poor academic
performance will be specifically targeted.
Project Results
Measurement:
