Statement of Need
Now more than ever, community partners play a critical role in shaping the lives of
America's young people. Agape Enrichment Academy is a uniquely positioned to make
a significant difference. We engage the youth who need us most and provide programs
that will help youth develop positive outcomes and achieve great futures.
One type of program that is desperately needed across the nation is summer
programming with a•strong academic component. Numerous studies show that most
youth lose about two months of grade -level equivalency in mathematical computation
skills over the summer months. Low income youth also lose more than two months in
reading achievement. As a matter of fact, two-thirds of the ninth -grade reading
achievement gap between disadvantaged students and their more advantaged peers
can be explained by unequal access to summer learning opportunities during the
elementary school years.
Our community faces these issues outlined in the national research. In Miami
Dade County, 11.20% local dropout rate and other relevant statistics and
