Orange County Youth C0711777iSSiOn <br />Santa Ana, California <br />Outreach and Recruitment <br />The OCYC staff members are enthusiastic about and committed to the after-school <br />programs, including the boxing club. We have three staff members actively involved in <br />networking with local schools. business, along with county and cite govenunent <br />agencies. They collectively put in 24 hours a week in relaying to individual school <br />administrators, businessmen, and govenunent leaders the OCYC mission and heart to <br />provide a future and hope to youth who have little future or hope. The hope begins at <br />redirecting negative behaviors (e.g., poor academic performance. deviant/criminal <br />behaviors, drug/alcohol use etc...) to positive behaviors (e.g., good academic <br />performance, positive character development, and drug/alcohol abstinence etc...). As a <br />result of these youth are equipped to meet standards for academic and career success. <br />Anthony Serrano. Sport Club Director and Isabel Monje, After-School Club Director, <br />contact and meet with junior and high school administrators for the purpose of <br />introducing them to our 17 after-school clubs, which includes the Santa Ana Boxing <br />Club. We provide printed materials about the club and this year will aim to develop a <br />special brochure. We not only receive referrals from Santa Ana Unified School District <br />school administrators/teachers, but we receive referrals from Olive Crest, Victory <br />Outreach the Hispanic Chamber of Commerce and Teen Challenge as well as other youth <br />servicing agencies in the Youth Council Network. <br />Additionally, Dr. Don V erleur, founder of Olive Crest (treatment homes for foster-care <br />youth), is a member of our board and can refer youth to our programs. We have a strong <br />recruitment plan with SAUSD due to our president's membership on the Board of <br />Trustees. We also work with Angel Tree (youth of incarcerated parents) with our summer <br />camping program. Ralph Fuentez is a member of our board and directs rehabilitation <br />programs for Victory Outreach (gang involvement and drug abuse). Anthony Serrano <br />also is in regular communication with Laurie Muir of the Juvenile Justice Department. <br />In 2006. a feature article about the SA Boxing Club was published in The Orange County' <br />Register and a story was aired on KABC:-TV Eyewitness News. This media attention has <br />served to inform the Santa Ana residents of the boxing club. <br />This Year, we will re -issue an OCYC newsletter and mail to various community agencies <br />to generate additional awareness of the program. <br />Staffing: <br />We have planned for adequate staffing to implement program objectives and ensure that <br />goals and activities are achieved. <br />In 2007-08, the Club will be staffed as follows: <br />• 0.375 FTE Project Manager <br />• 1.0 FTE Sports Club Director <br />• 0.25 FTE Case Manager <br />7 <br />
