RECOMMENDATION
It is respectfully recommended that the City Commission adopt the attached Resolution
authorizing funding, in the amount of $35,000, to Youth of America, Inc. Funding is to be
provided from the Law Enforcement Trust Fund, Project Numbers 690001, 690002 and 690003.
BACKGROUND
The Miami Police Department supports positive youth programs such as the Youth of America,
Inc. This organization works with underprivileged children from the Model City area, who are
mostly without supervision and need positive role models: To compensate for this void in the
children's life, the organization uses adult volunteers to interact with them. The volunteers provide
counseling in matters concerning alcohol abuse, crime prevention, family, good health and
hygiene, as well as tutoring services. The children receive tangible incentives, encouragement and
positive reinforcement, which promote civic behavior in spite of adverse social and economic
conditions.
