Second, we use trained youth outreach workers to <br /> introduce the services to the community, stimulate their interest, and encourage <br /> individuals in need of our services to participate. Third, we encourage walk-ins by <br /> directing our outreach workers to distribute carefully designed printed materials at <br /> shopping malls, parks, recreational areas, and other places where youth tend to <br /> congregate. Brochures, posters, and buttons will also disseminated at these locations. <br /> Because our selected outreach workers are intimately familiar with the demographics of <br /> the targeted community, the existing agencies that serve youth, and the social world of <br /> the community, CHCADA's outreach workers are in an optimal position to conduct <br /> grassroots outreach efforts for this program as well. While we utilize print materials and <br /> mailings to youth-based organizations, our outreach workers also schedule <br /> appointments directly with school officials, heads of youth service CBOs, etc. and utilize <br /> person-to-person and group sessions to arrange referrals to our programs. According to <br /> several reports, these measures are among the most effective methods of delivering <br /> outreach services to the community youth.~ <br /> <br /> > Direct Mailings - CHCADA has a database of other service providers, faith <br /> institutions, schools, and other community organizations. We will send out <br /> direct mailings to these organizations. <br /> <br /> > Special Print Materials - Special print materials will be designed to inform <br /> the youth and their parents/guardians about the program. We will also make <br /> these materials available to schools, youth programs, and other providers <br /> who serve youth. <br /> <br />Friedman, Alfred S. ct al., 1985, op.cit. <br /> <br /> CHCADA's Response to RFP# PY2002 <br /> <br />Page 10 <br /> <br /> <br />
