Version 12 02.04

Problem to be addressed:
The City of Miami is a metropolis rife with the growing pains of its urban core. Youth living in
the inner city neighborhoods of Allapattah, Little Haiti, Model City and Wynwood survive in a
tempest of gangs, crime, alcohol, drugs and the ever-present reminders of the poverty they
endure. Miami has the highest poverty rate of any large US city, with 32% of residents living in
poverty (2000 Census) and is one of the top ten most dangerous cities in the country (FBI,
2001). Forty-seven percent (47%) of Miami residents never received a high school diploma
and 24% dropped out by 9Ih grade. Risk factors for these youth include early and persistent
antisocial behavior, lack of commitment to school, alienation and rebelliousness, and early
initiation of problem behavior, gang involvement and substance abuse.
There is a documented need for pro -social offerings in the after school hours when youngsters
may be unsupervised and prone to engage in detrimental behavior. The target population is
youth aged 7 to 15 in zip codes 33147, 33142, and 33150 - the three areas with the highest
number of juvenile delinquent youth in Miami -Dade County - and 33127, which abuts those
three. These areas rank among the county's highest in the numbers of juvenile arrests and
referrals, rates of crime and violence, percentage of absenteeism 21+ days, and truancy rates.
In order to serve the "right youth in the right community," the majority of youth to be enrolled
are those youth most likely to become juvenile offenders based on multiple risk factors present
in the neighborhoods stated above.
In zip code 33147, 39% live below the poverty level and 47% did not graduate from high
school; in zip code 33142, 37% live below the poverty level and 56% did nol graduate from
high school; in zip code 3.3150, 33% five below the poverty level and 49% did not graduate
from high school; and in zip code 33127, 313% live below the poverty level and 56% did not
graduate from high school. These figures are in stark contrast with the entire State of Florida,
where 12% live below the poverty level and 20% did not graduate from high school (Census
2000). Area public middle schools fare poorly. Allapattah Middle School (zip code 33142) has
been a "D" school since 1999, Jose de Diego Middle School (zip code 33127) since 2001, and
Miami Edison Middle School (zip code 33127) for three of the last four years. Young people in
these schools and neighborhoods need an infusion of resources, of opportunities, and of
caring.
Identified gaps existing in the community that this program will address:
There are few community resources available to handle the needs. To our knowledge, there
are no other similar programs serving the neighborhoods in question. There is a significant gap
in service in mentoring programs that involve police officer mentors and a comprehensive case
management approach to curtailing juvenile delinquency at the outset.

county

Describe how tong each youth will be expected to participate in the program:
Beginning in July 1, 2005, through June 30, 2006 •
Describe how youth from the targeted zip codes will be identified and referred to the proposed
program (see instructions):
Any one of the three partners, the City of Miami Police Department Gang Detail Juvenile
Investigations Unit, PAL, or the Miami Rescue Mission, as well as the participating middle schools,
will identify youth to participate in the program. Officers from the City of Miami Police Department
Gang Detail Juvenile Investigations Unit wilt interview the child and their parent/guardian, usually
during a home assessment. All youth will be assessed using the JJIS Assessment Screens to
determine if they exhibit the risk factors identified in the 8% Solution.
Describe how the program will reduce the risk factors present in youth served:
The CHOICE program will incorporate the focus on the Department's initiative by focusing on both
reading through after school tutoring by a Certified School Teacher and building and strengthening
families by offering counseling, referrals, family home visits and family involvement activities. We will
focus on the areas with the highest concentration of delinquent youth in Miami -Dade County (zip
codes 33147, 33142, 33150 and 33127), which include Allapattah, Little Haiti, Model City and
Wynwood. Because chronic juvenile offenders develop from a manifestation of identified risk factors,
a concentrated effort between the City of Miami Police Department, PAL, Certified School Teachers,
youth counselors, public middle schools and community social service agencies to reduce those risk
factors by making better choices will lead to less juvenile delinquency,
Vernon f 2 02 04

This program has the expertise and dedication of the Police Officers from the City of Miami Police
Department Gang Detail Juvenile investigations Unit behind it. These professionals form personal
bonds with the youth they mentor, and have had untold success engaging these youth and gearing
them towards productive, healthy lives. Detectives have followed a group of four students arrested for
graffiti in middle school, whose community service fed them to working with the department's Stop
Active Vandalism Everywhere (SAVE) program. After their community service, these four youth kept
volunteering with the Police Officers, and recruited their friends to help the SAVE program. Today,
these youth are drug -free, have good grades in high school, and will graduate next year.
In addition to the real -life investment these officers have in the youth they serve, the research -based
Biq Brothers Biq Sisters model will dictate the essential components of the CHOICE program.
Strategies to reduce early and persistent anti -social behavior, lack of commitment to school,
alienation and rebelliousness, and early initiation of problem behavior include mentoring by Police
Officers to instill pro -social behaviors, mentors stressing the importance of school attendance and
participation and the consequences of truancy, substance abuse prevention education, after school
recreation, academic enrichment utilizing computers, gang prevention education, conflict resolution
and image -building activities, and offering parents/guardians counseling and referrals.
The CHOICE program incorporates the "8% Problem" Solutions (The '8% Problem" Study Findings,
Kurz and Moore, 1994), which include:
• Promoting pro -social values and behavior and promoting accountability for actions
• Developing individualized intervention strategies with follow-up
• Supervision, structure and support to minors
• Developing strategies that produce educational success
• Promoting teamwork among the family, professional staff and community volunteers
Through the reduction of the identified risk factors, youth served by the CHOICE program will be less
likely to use or abuse substances or engage in gang activities. Conversely, their commitment to
perform well academically and their socialization skills and behavior will improve.
CHOICE will comply with the goals of the DJJ Delinquency Prevention Plan by targeting "the right
youth in the right communities through research -based programs and strategies." This program
targets the top three zip codes with the greatest need and highest risks and crime rates, Students will
be served at four accessible sites in these neighborhoods: (1) African Square Park serving
students from Allapatleh Middle School, located at 1400 NW 62nd Street, zip code 33147; (2) Miami
Edison Middle Schock located at 6101 NW 2nd Avenue, zip code 33127; (3) Jose de Diego Middle
School, located at 3100 NW 5`h Avenue, zip code 33127; and (4) Miami Rescue Mission Community
Activity Center, located at 2025 NW 151 Avenue, zip code 33127. Transportation for the Saturday
sessions and field trips at the Miami Rescue Mission will be provided, including home pick-up and
drop-off by a City of Miami Police Department passenger van.
Because the highest rate of delinquency offenses occur from 3:00pm to 6:00pm, the CHOICE
program focuses on after school and weekend hours, teaming up the youngsters with police officers
and putting them through a team building, communication, and problem -solving tasks, creating a
community component that includes neighborhood involvement through recreational activities,
educating youngsters about cultural diversity though field trip activities and discussion groups, and
providing field trips as a reward mechanism.
The CHOICE program also supports the Miami -Dade County Judicial Circuit 11 Juvenile Delinquency
Prevention Plan 2004 by reducing juvenile crime, using the JJIS Prevention Web for data collection,
and prioritizing high -crime neighborhoods for prevention services.

Define what specific criteria a program enrollee must meet in order to be admitted to your
proposed program (in addition to exhibiting at least three domains of risk):
in compliance with the DJJ Delinquency Prevention Plan, the CHOICE program will target "the right
youth in the right communities through research -based programs and strategies." We plan to serve
those youth most likely to become chronic juvenile offenders based on the risk factors, in order to
guide them towards a healthier lifestyle. In addition to at least 70% of youth served exhibiting at least
three domains of risk identified in the 8% Solution, CHOICE program enrollees will fall within the age
range and reside within the targeted zip codes. Youth served will either (1) never have been arrested,
or (2) no longer be under any DJJ or court -ordered supervision.
SECTION E.2. PROGRAM PROPOSAL (continued).
Define program completer:
Attends and participates in 90% of Saturday sessions and in 90% of the after school activities for the
course of the grant funding period
List each of the targeted zip codes in which the youth served by your program will reside:
33147, 33142, 33150, 33127,
What is the researched -based model program being replicated by your proposed program?
The Big Brothers Big Sisters of America (EBBS) model stems from the largest youth mentoring
organization in the United States founded in 1904. The BBBS Vision is "successful mentoring
relationships for all children who need and want them, contributing to better schools, brighter futures,
and stronger communities for all". National research shows that the positive relationships between
mentors and their mentees have a direct, measurable, and lasting impact on children's lives.
Research and anecdotal evidence show specifically that BBBS one-to-one mentoring helps at -risk
youth overcome the many challenges they face. They are less likely to begin using illegal drugs,
consume alcohol, skip school and classes, or engage in acts of violence. They have greater self-
esteem, confidence in their schoolwork performance, and are able to get along better with their
friends and families. In the community -based model the CHOICE program replicates, mentors provide
youth with personalized attention in their communities, typically two to four times a month. During
these outings they are able to bond with positive adult role models and cultivate relationships that
provide children the skills to manage everyday obstacles. Through simple friendship, mentors help at -
risk learn about new, and healthier, opportunities.
