This organization works with underprivileged children, 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. -15W DHW:WEO:Imr 99— 60 7$,�,}taruu.mn >.w�� ,, "�3'SiT$ d;s?Mtk ,,.•t*.r _ 'i.SS'Jatn/�"u 11'` A, �ie't,5.�4ya 7 n'to-rfi4°w dL3 z1E { 4ri 1 t 'K CITY OF MIAMI.
