<br />it to Marcia Lynne, who will then assess the situation and provide guidance in terms of <br />referral to other appropriate counseling, academic/career or social service programs. <br /> <br />Anthony and the teachers will share in-intake assessment responsibilities. The teachers <br />will administer original T ABE test Anthony will interview prospectiye youth to ensure <br />that they meet all WIA requirements for program entry. <br /> <br />Follow-up: <br /> <br />We will follow-up with students by encouraging continued activity in the boxing club. <br />This is not a difficult task. The only attrition we have experienced thus far is due to <br />transient nature of the community. Nonetheless, we plan to incorporate peer mentoring <br />for our seasoned boxing club mentors. This should serve as additional incentive to <br />continue with the boxing program. Mr. Serrano will contact and periodically meet with <br />youth who have dropped out of the program. At this time he will provide individual <br />counseling to encourage youth to continue to seek a higher education. He will use this <br />time to assess whether the youth is experiencing obstacles to meeting life goal for higher <br />education. He will then refer student to appropriate assistance (e.g., drug/alcohol rehab, <br />after-school tutoring or mentoring). He will also refer to WIA for necessary counseling, <br />if deemed appropriate. <br /> <br />Continues Improvement: <br /> <br />We intend to require that all members of the boxing team maintain a 3.0 GP A in order to <br />go to tournaments. We intend to offer one-hour tutoring service prior to boxing activity <br />to ensure that WIA participants maintain appropriate GP A and increase in literacy and <br />numeracy scores. Therefore, credentialed or student teacher will tutor these youth in <br />academic work and literacy and numeracy aptitude. <br /> <br />MAIN PURPOSE OF THE ORANGE COUNTY YOUTH COMMISSION <br /> <br />Mission Statement: <br /> <br />"The Orange County Youth Commission will bring hope and purpose to children and <br />youth in the inner city by developing a partnership among the business/private sector and <br />the faith community to provide wholesome activities that inspire, educate, train, and <br />transform lives." <br /> <br />Orange County Youth Commission: <br /> <br />The goal of OCYC is to develop after-school programs that effectively redirect "at-risk" <br />inner city youth towards positive academic and career choices. "At -risk" youth, as <br />defined above, tend to display behaviors that catapult them into a life cycle of inadequate <br />academic and/or job performance, that result in poverty and/or adult criminality. Our <br />programs are designed to mitigate negative life choices and enhance positive life choices <br /> <br />5 <br />
