Description of Work— In the space below, describe the program to be funded during the 12-month contract period. The Orange County Youth Commisssion will manage the Santa Ana Bocing Club Program for the twelve months, July 2006-July- 2007. The Santa Ana Boxing Club is a youth after -school program that is open from 4 pm to 8 pm, Monday through Friday. Although we have some younger and a few older young people, the program is designed to serve children 10-18 years of age. Young people receive instruction in the skills of boxing, with one to one mentoring. Group dicussions involving character development are also conducted. The students are given opportunities to get involved in competative boxing toumabments. We have a first place Golden Glove Champion training in the gym. The Santa Ana Boxing Club maintains community involvment by participating in local parades and street fairs. Our goals consist of five components: 1) Prevent juvenile delinquency: It is our goal to prevent juvenile delinquency, gang involvement, and drug abuse by keeping youth people off the streets during the critical after -school hours when most at -risk behavior occurs. 2) Provide guidance and direction: We also provide caring mentors who will listen and take a personal interest in the lives of the young people. Caring mentors provide encouragement, guidance and direction. Students are encouraged to do well in school and to seek for excellence. 3) Develop self-confidence: Through achievement and skill building our boxers develop self-confidence, persereverance and discipline. These qualities will transfer to other areas of their lives increasing their ability to succeed in life. 4) Develop Character: Through one-to-one mentoring and group discussions the Santa Ana Boxing Club seeks to teach youth people how to behave ethically. 5) Community Awareness: Through community service projects and educational field trips the boxers develop an appreciation for their community and are exposed to new experiences.
