Abstract
Who The Chance for Youth Project of Eagle Ridge Institute proposes to develop a model project for impacting high risk youth entitled a Chance for Youth.
What The Chance for Youth Project is a primary prevention/intervention project aimed at impacting high risk youth ages 3-18.
Where The Chance for Youth Project is located in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma and targets five low income and/or high minority neighborhoods: Riverside/Capitol Hill, Willard, Sooner Haven, Minnis Lakeview and the Fred Factory Housing Project in Spencer and Oklahoma City Housing Authority Scattered sites.
How By using a systems approach, the Chance for Youth Project will provide training and consultation to existing agencies and organizations to help them expand services for high risk youth. Volunteers will provide a myriad of social, educational, cultural, economic and recreational activities, as well as, support groups for parents and youth, in addition to life skills training and substance abuse education for the five targeted high risk neighborhoods in Oklahoma City. Professional counseling support will be provided on-site one day a week per neighborhood. Residents will be trained to help create drug free communities, and a City-wide Youth Council will be established to address youth concerns. Finally, a Chance for Youth Advisory council will be developed have a cross-section of the community.
When The Chance for Youth Project is targeted to begin April 1, 2005.
Why The ultimate goal of the Chance for Youth Project is to reduce risk factors for substance abuse among high risk youth, thereby improving their quality of life. With limited funds and resources, a systems approach which enlists the support and networking of the entire community, is most likely to have the creates impact on this problem."
