RECOMMENDATION
It is respectfully recommended that the City Commission adopt the attached Resolution
authorizing funding, in the amount of $20,000.00, for the Miami Museum of Science's
"YouthALIVE! Miami" Summer Outreach Program. Funding is to be provided from the Law
Enforcement Trust Fund, Project Numbers 690001, 690002 and 690003.
BACKGROUND
This is a new program that will engage more than 100 adolescents from Miami's inner city and
low-income neighborhoods in science related summer programs. The'Summer Outreach Program,
under the supervision of a Museum science educator, will select youth to participate as members of
the museum's community outreach team. These outreach teens will develop and deliver hands-on
science in a variety of Miami settings such as local parks, hospitals. Head Start, and community
centers. During their eight -week involvement, the first four weeks will focus on the development
of hands-on activities, while in the second four weeks these outreach teens will bring science to
Miami-Dade's low-income communities. Modeled after the Museum's successful, previously
funded Science Shop (Science Students Hands-on Outreach Program), participants gain science
knowledge, increased self esteem and communications skills. Community outreach is one of
several science projects sponsored by YouthALIVE! Miami and benefits both the teen participants
and audience -participants comprised of younger kids and their families.
