The YET concept was first developed by the National Football in 1993 in Los Angeles, California. The thinking behind YET was stimulated by the Los Angeles civil disturbances that preceded Super Bowl XXVII (1993). The National Football League (NFL) conceived that a local community, the Super Bowl and the NFL could combine to develop a program wherein sports would be the attraction that brought at risk youth into an educational center where they could receive a broad range of educational services. The NFL committed to help develop a YET Center in each Super Bowl city. The first YET Center was opened in a rehabilitated shopping center in the Compton area of Los Angeles. It includes a state of the art computer laboratory, library and education rooms. The second YET Center is under development in the Atlanta area, an outgrowth of Super Bowl XXVIII (1994). An information package from the NFL is enclosed. THE SOUTH FLORIDA YET CENTER AT GWEN CHERRY PARK The South Florida Super Bowl XXIX Host Committee is the organization that hosted Super Bowl XXIX, played January 29, 1995 at Joe Robbie Stadium. The efforts of the Host Committee set a new national standard for local communities. One of the major initiatives of the Host Committee was the development of a quality YET Center to serve at risk minority youth. Gwen Cherry Park was selected for the initial YET Center. The YET Center at Gwen Cherry Park will be a 20,000 square foot facility at an estimated cost of $2.9 million. It will consist of an air conditioned gymnasium, 11,000 square feet of classroom and support space which will include a state of the art computer center with 35 computers. A complete description of the facility including renderings and press clippings is enclosed. The Host Committee established the South Florida Super Bowl Host Committee Foundation (Foundation) to continue the work with the YET Center. The Foundation is the entity responsible for the construction of the facility and for finalizing the programs to be provided. Information concerning the Foundation is enclosed. Submitted into the public record in connection with item 1.7_ on -�q b 9 5 — 184 Walter Fo man City C101,k r.. The groundbreaking for the YET Center at Gwen Cherry Park took place on September 18, 1995. The Dwight Stephenson Construction Company has been selected as the General Contractor for the project. Construction is estimated to take 10-12 months, One of the major priorities on the project is to utilize to the maximum extent possible African American and minority contractors. The operations and programming for the YET Center will occur through a unique partnership of agencies and groups. The facility, once complete, will be deeded to Metro Dade County. Dade County, through the Park & Recreation Department, will be the coordinating agency for the Center and has made a long term commitment to maintain the facility and provide security, maintenance and utilities. Other Agencies, most notably the United Way through the Boys and Girls Clubs, will be responsible for recreational programming. Other local community groups will also have use of the facility for programs. The Foundation Advisory Board has developed a Request for Proposals (RFP) and is currently soliciting an agency to take the lead in educational programming. THE YES CENTERS AT MOORE PARK & GRAPELAND HEIGHTS PARK The response to the YET Center has been so positive that the Foundation is considering, if sufficient support can be generated, to expand the concept to facilities at Moore Park and Grapeland Heights Park. Preliminary concept plans are attached. Submitted into the public record in connection with item I rA on ' 1 Y — Walter Foomen City 96- 184 k, SOUTH FLORIDA SUPER BOWL HOST COMMITTEE FOUNDATION, INC.
