Description of Work — In the space below, describe the program to be funded during the 12 -month contract period. The Cambodian Family's Youth Program works with low - income Cambodian and Latino youths and their families in a comprehensive way to create a shift from a paradigm of mere survival to a paradigm of achievement. Our work with youths is designed ultimately to facilitate the transition from community poverty and reliance on welfare to community success and self - reliance. To achieve these goals, our Youth Program includes both a youth strategy and a parent strategy. Our youth strategy is organized around three Institutes: Academic, Leadership, and Career. Within the Academic Institute, we seek to ensure the development of strong reading and writing skills, good academic performance, successful grade promotions, high school graduation, and the opportunity to pursue higher education. Within the Leadership Institute, we seek to improve our young people's life skills, character strengths and self - esteem. Within the Career Institute, we seek to help prepare our youth to make decisions about college and careers. We provide neighborhood youths a safe place to go after school, where our bilingual staffs tutor and mentor them, teach them new skills, help them build dreams for the future, and support them in achieving their goals. We serve youths, ages 6 -20. Youths activities take place after school, Tuesday through Friday, from 3 -6 PM, and on Saturday, from 9 -4 PM. Our parent strategy aims to help parents develop skills to better provide for, supervise, nurture, and communicate with their children. To achieve this objective, we hold monthly parent meetings to teach parents about the school system, and encourage them to become actively involved in their children's education. We also facilitate their participation in school activities. . IV. Activities funded by this grant — How will CDBG funds be used for the funded program?
