Those.are your dollars, and you deserve an update on how your money is being spent. The accomplishmentsi-eflected here represent our first nine months of funding from January through September zoo4; the end of the fiscal year. During that short time, The Children's TrUstsuccessfuf(y created the framework and policies to support its mission. This as involved significant planning, meetings with other funders and partners, community - based organizations and parents. The result is a five-year strategic vision for the investment of your tax dollars guided by principles that stress accountability and results. In the past year, The Trust established business and grant management operations, hired management and professional staff, and awarded grants to 90 community organizations. The Trust supported programs in Miami -Dade County touching the lives of more than i6,000 children and youth. This year we will serve even more. We are proceeding slowly in the early years to make sure we have real outcomes to share with you. As a child I remem- ber my mom saying to me many times, "Mo, we're going to do this slowly and carefully, because we're in a hurry and want to get it right." In that spirit, we are off to a strong start. The Children's Trust key investment strategies were developed from an extensive needs assessment. The purpose of these investments is to improve the lives of children in the areas of health, development and safety, and to promote increased parental and community responsibility for children. Upcoming initiatives related to these goals include: raising standards for early childhood education and care through a star -quality rating system; improving and expand- ing out -of -school programs; and developing a parent/youth helpline that will be available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, in three languages. We want to facilitate change, not simply fund services. This is why we work in close partnership with providers to offer support and build their capacity.That way, we have a much better chance of improving the overall quality of services for our children and families. Please know that it is a privilege to work on behalf of the children of our community. Modesto E. Abety President and CEO What we do Submitted into the pubtk record in connection with item ?4 on f - NI.O‘ Priscilla A. Thompson City CIS.. We seek to be the recognized leader in planning, advocating and funding quality services to improve the lives of children and families in Miami -Dade. While our first priority is the children of the community and their families, we are deeply aware of our responsibility to the taxpayers. The Children's Trust is committed to a continuing process of review and analysis, with the goal of refin- ing and improving our performance and that of our service providers. With fiscal accountability in mind, we have been able to decrease the proposed millage rate by ii% for fiscal year zoo4-2oo5, and still produce the revenue needed to support planned initiatives. The Children's Trust will invest more than $3io million in high -quality programs to meet the needs of children and families in our community through 2oo8. At that time The Children's Trust will come before the citizens of Miami -Dade County for reauthorization through voter referendum. We intend to prove to the voters and taxpayers of Miami -Dade that their dollars have made a great difference in the lives and futures of children. 1 To improve the lives of children and families �3n in Miami -Dade County by making strategic investments in their futures. The Trust is guided by principles and values that include a focus on early intervention and prevention services for our most vulnerable children, families and neighborhoods, while advocating for and supporting the increased = , y; availability of needed services for all children- .: ti = `. and their families. Half of The Children's Trust funding will be invested in children from birth to age 5 and their families. This is where we can have the greatest impact.

Trinity Church Sun City Kids Day Camp What we're funding now Summer and After -School According to the Afterschool Alliance, almost a third of Florida's 2,7oo,517 school -age children go home to an empty house every afternoon. High -quality after -school programs are not only a safe alternative, but also contribute to academic success and help prevent juvenile crime, teen pregnancy and victimization. They also enable parents to focus on work and earning the family's income without having to worry about the safety and welfare of their children. These programs offer much more than safe custodial care. We also believe they can prepare our children for success in school and in life. TIME OF THEIR LIVES provided children and youth with inclusive summer programs in safe, nurturing and fun environments that included cultural and academic enrichment activities. Physical activity, nutritious meals and snacks were part of the program. Many of the children served had never experienced a summer program. About io% were children with disabilities. Total funding of $5,365,719 was provided to serve nearly 8,000 children and youth through 38 providers in 83 locations during the summer of 2004. YES: YOUTH EXPERIENCING SUCCESS THROUGH OUT -OF -SCHOOL PROGRAMS provides safe, nurturing and supervised environments that incorporate enhancements such as reading, exercise, cultural and socialization activities. This year, The Children's Trust awarded 46 grants. By the end of the zoo4-zoo5 fiscal year, YES will represent a $13 million investment in out -of -school programs serving about 1o,000 children ages 4-15 in more than i6o locations. Part of this initiative is making sure the children receive healthy, nutritious snacks. The after -school snack component is provided through the U.S. Department of Agriculture and administered in Florida by the Department of Health, in conjunction with Daily Bread Food Bank. It provides free snacks to children in neighborhoods where 5o% of the kids receive free or reduced price lunches at school. Prevention and Promotion By building parent skills and promoting positive child and youth development, we prevent such problems as illiteracy, delinquency, drug abuse, teen pregnancy, child abuse and neglect. Our first investments in promotion, prevention, community outreach and advocacy initiatives were made through grants awarded in September 2o04. A total of $9,085,445 was approved for programs serving about 93,00o children and youth viasbhcgntracts t throughout Miami -Dade County.

The first investments were for summer and out - of -school programs. Children with disabilities participated in six summer programs, and are participating in after -school programs operated by io organizations. The Trust partners with other organizations that serve the same children to ensure coordinated efforts. For example, we collaborated with the Early Intervention Program (Part C of the Individuals with Disabilities Act), providing therapy and transportation for the disabled children in our summer programs. The Trust's resources pay for additional enhancement services when school is not in session. Miami -Dade Public Schools is helping us design programs to best meet the needs of children with disabilities. Investments will expand significantly this coming year to a total of $9,239,293. 5-Star Quality Improvement System Through a grant awarded to the Miami -Dade School Readiness Coalition, a program now under design will represent the single largest investment of The Children's Trust. This star -quality approach will be a system of rating child care centers providing them with incentives and support with the goal of improving their quality of care while providing parents with the criteria to make informed choices. The design and financing plan should be completed by this spring, after which implementation will begin. The Trust has budgeted $36 million to implement this initiative in its five-year strategic plan. It has the potential to impact all children in licensed early care and education programs countywide. absolutely phenomenal; we couldn't t without you.

I What's new and exciting SERVICE PARTNERSHIPSwill provide comprehensive direct services to children, youth and families in at -risk populations or geographic areas with demonstrated need. The partnerships will consist of families, service providers, human services professionals, support groups and other available community resources.This carefully organized, collaborative effort will better coordinate existing services and reduce duplication, with the expressed goal of helping to prevent families from entering the child welfare and juvenile justice systems. RESOURCE NETWORKS will provide training and technical assistance to providers addressing systems of care and help The Trust to identify effective programs while eliminating gaps in services. A resource network supports providers to improve their programs while increase their effectiveness in meeting each family's needs. Our resource networks will focus on four areas: (1) maternal, infant and child health; (2) safety and injury/family violence and child abuse prevention; (3) healthy life choices/positive youth development, and (4) children with disabilities. APARENT AND YOUTH HELPLINEis being developed for The Children's Trust in collaboration with Switchboard of Miami to provide free and universal access to timely and accurate information about services cr answers to immediate questions raised by youth or parents and caregivers of children from before birth to age 18.The help line will operate in three languages — 24 hours a day, seven days a week. x -i ;AJEA4Tt4NDDEES* AL SCREENING AND ASSESSMENT SERVICES will focus on creating a universal and comprehensive R•�systes,•n•,for early identfiypn of children and youth who need more intensive services and support. .- Y a•4.4AZ4 ,#,. STHTRANSITIONINGTOADULTHOOD is designed to create a cohesive and comprehensive system overhaul to ensure that children moving from foster care or detention have all the supports and skills to become productive, contributing individuals. How we'll know it's really working Real outcome measurements are crucial. That's why we will have solid research and evaluation. A primary goal in this area is to work in partnership with providers, parents, professional researchers and experts to raise the quality and ensure the effectiveness of programs for children, youth and families. To that end, The Trust has adopted the empow- erment evaluation approach, which rests on the principles of: improvement, community ownership, inclusion, demo- cratic participation, social justice, community knowledge, evidence -based strategies, capacity -building, organizational learning, and accountability. Strategies to support these efforts include: • Dissemination of best practices and evidence -based research through provider and consumer training opportunities. • Technical assistance with program and evaluation design to ensure realistic and meaningful program outcomes. • Development of tools and measures to capture program successes and lessons learned and ensure accountability. • Exploration of cross -program and systems of care evaluation using external data sources. We will expand on existing knowledge and create innovative and successful programs that serve as models within our communities. "I tell my students that hist 's made of people not events, so actively participating in a debate like this helps empower these kids to become better citizens and shows them how they can make a real difference." - American History teacher John Moffi, Miami Lakes Educational Center. Advocacy and Legislative Affairs record wrinectivi item tA.2& cm* PriSCAtte Consistent with our vision of being the leading voice to advocate for children and families, The Children's Trust has f7"141: established a visible presence at both the state and federal levels to promote laws and policies that improve the lives of children and families. Starting with the 2oo4 legislative session,The Children's Trust actively promoted quality standards in universal pre -kindergarten (UPK) legislation for all four year olds in Florida. To that end, The Trust collaborated with two other children's services councils to commission a statewide survey of parents with young children to determine what parents want in a high -quality UPK program. The Children's Trust successfully urged funding for children on the KidCare waiting list and recently reduced significant barriers to enrolling in the Florida KidCare Program. Florida KidCare funds affordable, quality health care insurance for children whose parents can't afford or do not have access to private insurance. The Children's Trust continues to press for legislative changes to remove remaining harmful barriers to enrolling in and expanding the reach of this program, as well as advocate for children in the areas of juvenile justice, the child welfare system, and child safety. LEGISLATIVE DEVELOPMENTS is a section of our website created to post legislative alerts and links to state and con- gressional delegations. The Tallahassee Times, a weekly newsletter reporting during session on the latest developments in legislation impacting children and families, is also posted on the site, and is emailed to a database of individuals and service providers. In 2004 The Children's Trust also hosted two Candidate Connection sessions to educate candidates running for state office on a variety of children's needs, programs and issues. Both experts and community members participated. YOUTH LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT forums were held to inspire teens to take an interest in government and their community. Approximately 6o high school juniors and seniors from our funded after -school programs were invited to watch the final presidential debate on a large projection screen and to discuss national election issues afterward. The Trust also sponsored a Teens Take on Politics debate between the two final candidates for Mayor of Miami -Dade County. The debate was moderated by reporter Michael Putney and broadcast as a special one -hour edition of This Week in South Florida on WPLG/Local io. _} "We are very happy to see that there is another very professional instit out there that is thinking of and putting children - Diana Susi, Ayuda Submitted Into t record in cnra�. n with item �1�• a.

We seek to become a reliable, trusted source on all issues relating to children and families. KIDVISION is television programming created just for kids by WPBT/Channel 2. In collaboration with the Broward Children's Services Council, The Children's Trust is sponsoring a year -long series of informational vignettes focused on such subjects as healthy eating, physical activity, social skills, literacy, safety and music appreciation.This programming will promote valuable learning and behavioral issues to children, through children, in Miami -Dade County. thechildrenstrust.org is being developed as a major source of information about our programs and initiatives, funding, legislative activities, news, and for valuable links to local resources for children and families. A RESOURCE GUIDE FOR PARENTS AND CAREGIVERS was published containing information about available summer and after -school programs. Nearly 15o,000 copies were distributed to families through Miami -Dade Public Schools. Next, The Trust will publish 200,000 copies of the Miami -Dade Children's Resource Guide. ri • ging t e 1 igital 1 ivide In these days of technology, we are building this community's best possible data base so we know where the challenges are and where we most need to invest dollars.This robust, easily managed and virus -free system will allow us to quantify, measure and evaluate the services provided to our children, and the agencies and programs that provide them. The Children's Trust will serve as a catalyst to bridge the digital divide by devel- oping a technical knowledge base and resource center for our provider agencies and for the community. We coordinate our information systems with other Miami -Dade institutions focused on the health and welfare of our children. In addition, we are meeting with other organizations, including local colleges and universities, interested in using data for collecting and measuring research - based quality -of -life indicators, neighborhood assets, and best practices. As a result of this preliminary work, The Children's Trust has been invited by the Urban Institute in Washington to become a member of the National Neighborhood Indicators Partnership, a collaboration of 22 neighborhood planners from around the nation dedicated to making all data public and shared with users eager to make a difference in people's lives and futures. tC ! c Q wc i I cd t0 FefL i rr t/ie IYER. 5 grade in Dal Camp. p� s6 O%11�L��.,�] .0 V ue ity kerisu ervis d environ en is an w George, Mitchell. coach. Cool Kid L Involving Community The Children's Trust has recruited a pool of i7o volunteer expert reviewers to bring the community's expertise into our selection of program funding. The group includes working and retired professionals. Reviewers are teachers (including special education), school administrators, doctors, lawyers, human services administrators and consultants, academicians and university faculty, and staff from other funding sources and government agencies.The .27 volunteer reviewers serv- ing in the first five bid -request processes contributed 1,134 hours of time. Because the Trust seeks to act as an agent of change rather than simply funding services, we have strongly empha- sized evaluation of outcomes and greater coordination among providers of children's services. To that end, The Children's Trust works in close partnership with providers to offer support and build capacity to improve the overall quality of services for our children and families. While we have set high standards and expectations for our funded providers and grant applicants, we also have sought feedback from these groups to help u improve our processes. As a result of encouraging cooperation among providers, more than half of our respondie:gapplicants and providers have solidified existing collaborative relationships. More than a third reported forming new collaborations.
