This year OCCTAC proposes to expand the Arts programming for the parents too! The Parents of the Youth have expressed great interest in learning the arts also; and we believe that the more parent engagement, the more the youth will improve and stay in our crime prevention and intervention program. Furthermore, we have already conducted several "Parent Demonstration Classes" at Willard Intermediate School and Community Wellness Center, and the parents were very excited) For example, 2 classes that the parents showed interest in learning were: 1) Flamenco Dance and 2) Strings Mariachi music, such as the Guitar, etc. CRIME PREVENTION & DIVERSION PROGRAM OCCTAC's After School Arts program prioritizes on diverting at -risk youth from negative social problems and engaging them in positive, fun, creative and artistic programs offered at our agency, as well at Willard Intermediate School. Students will be given the opportunity to take an Arts activity of their choice and attend classes any day of the week in the following disciplines: a) Music, b) Art & Technology and c) Dance, during after - school hours (M-F), and also on Saturdays! Our After- School Arts program runs every day from 3:30 pm - 8:00 pm (M-F) and on Saturdays from 9:00 am - 4:00 pm. In addition to the After School Arts Program, the youth will be provided with the opportunity to receive daily tutoring in our Learning Academy Program, and receive academic support with any subject they are struggling with academically, such as math, science, reading, etc. at school. Tutors will be available Monday through Friday during the same after school hours of operation to help our youth on any given day of the week. We also provide tutors at Willard Middle School for students that cannot come to OCCTAC. Parents - In addition to the programs offered to the youth, the parents will also be invited to participate in a weekly series of Parenting Classesfocused on crime prevention, discipline strategies, communication skills, family conflict, behavioral problems, familyviolence and others. This parenting program is designed to help parents learn to recognize both prosocial and antisocial behaviors, employ social learning techniques (e.g., positive reinforcement, ignoring, distraction, punishment),preventing delinquency and family violence. Families experiencing crisis will also be offered Counseling. Both youth and parents will get the needed counseling.
