NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises of the parties contained herein and other good
and valuable consideration, receipt, and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the SEOPW CRA and
Grantee agree as follows:
1. RECITALS. The Recitals to this Agreement are true and correct and are incorporated herein
by referenced and made a part hereof.
2. GRANT. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein and Grantee's compliance with
all of its obligations hereunder, the SEOPW CRA hereby agrees to make available to Grantee funds not to
exceed the authorized amount, pursuant to CRA-R-25-0063, to be used exclusively for the Purpose stated herein
and disbursed in the manner hereinafter provided.
3. USE OF GRANT. The grant shall be used to assist with the Grantee's implementation of the
Program during the Term (as defined in Section 4) of this Agreement, in accordance with the Program's
approved scope of work and budget ("Program Budget"), attached hereto as Exhibit "C." Grantee is aware that
the SEOPW CRA is not obligated to expend additional funds beyond the authorized amount defined herein.
4. TERM.
a. INITIAL TERM. The term of this Agreement shall commence on the Effective Date written
above and shall terminate September 30, 2026, or once Grantee has fulfilled the Purpose for which funds were
appropriated, whichever occurs first. However, the following rights of the SEOPW CRA shall survive the
expiration or early termination of this Agreement: to audit or inspect; to require reversion of assets; to enforce
representations, warranties, and certifications; to exercise entitlement to remedies, limitation of liability,
indemnification, and recovery of fees and costs.

the same terms and conditions set forth herein.

a. GENERALLY. Subject to the terms and conditions contained in this Agreement, the
SEOPW CRA shall make available to Grantee funds in an amount not to exceed Two Hundred Thousand Dollars
and Zero Cents ($200,000.00). In no event shall payments to Grantee under this Agreement exceed Two
Hundred Thousand Dollars and Zero Cents ($200,000.00). Payments shall be made to Grantee or directly to
vendors on behalf of Grantee, only after receipt and approval of requests for disbursements in accordance with
Exhibit "C."
7
b. DEPOSIT OF GRANT FUNDS INTO SEPARATE CHECKING ACCOUNT. A
separate checking account must be created for the sole purpose of depositing SEOPW CRA grant funds, prior

sources or to make payments other than to transfer funds to the Grantee's general operating checking account.
c. REQUESTS FOR DISBURSEMENT OF GRANT FUNDS. All requests for the
disbursement of funds by Grantee shall be submitted in writing to the SEOPW CRA by Grantee's authorized
representative prior to the termination of this Agreement. All such requests must be accompanied by supporting
documents reflecting the use of funds and/or expenditures incurred, and that the request is being made in
accordance with the approved Program Budget, as reflected in Exhibit "C," for expenditures incurred during
the Term of this Agreement. For purposes of this Agreement, "supporting documentation" may include
invoices, receipts, photographs, and any other materials evidencing the expense incurred. Grantee agrees that
all invoices or receipts reflecting the expenses incurred in connection to the Program shall be in Grantee's name,
and not in the name of the SEOPW CRA in light of Grantee's inability to bind the SEOPW CRA to any legal
and/or monetary obligation whatsoever. The SEOPW CRA reserves the right to request additional supporting
documentation for any expenditures, and the SEOPW CRA reserves the right to deny any and all requests it
deems to be outside of the approved Program Budget. Grantee's failure to provide additional supporting

as grounds for immediate termination of this Agreement, and Grantee solely shall bear all costs associated with
any expenditures not approved by the SEOPW CRA.
d. PRE -APPROVAL OF EXPENSES. Grantee agrees to submit to the SEOPW CRA all
requests for the expenditure of Grant funds for pre -approval by the SEOPW CRA. Failure to submit said
requests prior to incurring expenses may result in the Grantee bearing the costs incurred. The SEOPW CRA
shall review said requests to ensure that the expense sought to be incurred by the Grantee is an expense within
the approved Program Budget, attached hereto as Exhibit "C," and the SEOPW CRA reserves the right to deny
any and all requests it deems to be outside of the scope of the foregoing.

budget modifications, in writing, including line -item expenditures and descriptions, which exceed the budgeted
amount, to the Executive Director for approval.
f. CASH AND MOBILE PAYMENT TRANSACTIONS PROHIBITED. The Parties
agree that no payment shall be made to Grantee as a reimbursement for any Program -specific expenditure paid
in cash or via mobile payment application(s), including, but not limited to, Cash App, Zelle, PayPal, and/or
Venmo. Grantee acknowledges that cash and mobile payment transactions are insufficient per se to comply
with record -keeping requirements under this Agreement.
g. NO ADVANCE PAYMENTS. The SEOPW CRA shall not make advance payments
to Grantee or Grantee's vendors for services not performed or for goods, materials, or equipment which have
not been delivered to Grantee for use in connection with the Program.

the Grant is subject to specific reporting, record keeping, administrative, and contracting guidelines and other
requirements affecting the SEOPW CRA activities in issuing the funds. SEOPW CRA agrees to provide notice

limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Grantee represents and warrants that it will comply, and the Grant
will be used in accordance with all applicable federal, state and local codes, laws, rules, and regulations.

applicable laws. Grantee shall keep and maintain records to show its compliance with this Agreement. In

referred to as "Grantee"), regardless of whether it is, or is alleged to be, caused in whole or part (whether joint,

additional liability insurance coverage or coverage which is different -in kind SEOPW CRA reserves the right
to require the provision by Grantee of an amount of coverage different from the amounts or kind previously
required and shall afford written notice of such change in requirements thirty (30) days prior to the date on

damages.

Submission Date: 8/5/2025
Since 2003, Overtown Youth Center, Inc. (OYC Miami) has served as a trusted anchor institution
in Miami's historic Overtown community. Founded by NBA Hall of Famer Alonzo Mourning and
real estate developer Martin Z. Margulies, OYC Miami has grown into one of the region's most
effective, community -based youth development organizations. With over two decades of
consistent performance and serving over 5,000 youth and families annually, the organization
brings deep capacity, local insight, and a proven track record in delivering workforce training,
educational support, and violence prevention programs to high -risk youth populations.
This proposal seeks funding of $200,000 from SEOPW CRA to support the OYC Miami Year -
Round Youth Internship Program, a structured, 26-week workforce readiness initiative for high
school students ages 14-18. 15 interns will be paid $15/hour to work at OYC Miami's site during
after -school hours, weekends, and/or school breaks, where they will gain experience in youth
development services, nonprofit operations, leadership development, and after -school and events
planning. The internship experience will be supported by bi-weekly college and career readiness
workshops, leadership intensives, individual success planning, and exposure to peer and
professional mentors within the community. All activities are hosted in a trusted and centralized
location, the organization's site, to ensure continuity, safety, and strong oversight.
What makes this internship program distinct is its alignment with evidence -based crime prevention
strategies. Paid internships have been shown to significantly reduce youth involvement in violence
and arrest rates, particularly when offered during periods of highest vulnerability, such as after
school, weekends, and school breaks. In this model, young people are embedded in purpose -
driven community work, surrounded by caring adults, and compensated in a way that offsets the
economic lure of informal or criminal activity. OYC Miami's internship program was intentionally
3
designed to reduce these risks and shift behavior by access, structure, and meaningful
opportunity.
The proposed program will be delivered by an experienced, interdisciplinary team. Executive
Director Tina Brown brings nearly 20 years of nonprofit leadership experience and has grown
OYC Miami's operating revenue by over 500% under her tenure. Chief Program Officer, Brittany
Lambert -Brown, with over 10 years of experience, offers cross -sector expertise in mental health,
program oversight, and continuous improvement systems. Director of College and Career
Services, Dr. Lovely Noel, leads the administrative and compliance components of the internship
program, while Workforce Development Specialist, Jasmine McMillan, provides direct support and
monitoring to the interns. This lean but high -performing team ensures that all services remain
aligned to both the CRA's goals and the lived realities of Overtown youth.
OYC Miami has a longstanding history of managing high -stakes public and private contracts,
including with The Children's Trust, Miami -Dade County, and the Florida Department of Education.
The organization has never defaulted on a grant, has maintained a clean audit record, and
continues to produce measurable outcomes in school retention, career readiness, and reduced
disciplinary incidents among youth participants. Its internal data systems track participation,
attendance, wage documentation, and outcome surveys, providing real-time insights into
performance and ensuring accountability to funders.
This proposal represents a partnership to scale a crime prevention strategy that is locally rooted,
fiscally responsible, and deeply attuned to the strengths and needs of the Overtown community.
OYC Miami is confident in its ability to deliver this program with excellence and is committed to
long-term sustainability through diversified funding and documented impact.

Proposers shall submit the following information, which will be used to evaluate proposals:
A. Program Design and Innovation (25 points)
1. Clearly defined objectives and outcomes
To ensure crime prevention intervention and community safety are achieved, Overtown Youth
Center, Inc. (OYC Miami) proposes a Year -Round Youth Internship Program that is structured to
remove young people, especially those from high -risk environments, from vulnerable,
unsupervised hours by placing them in structured, productive roles at OYC Miami's sites during
the school year. In doing so, the program strengthens protective factors and actively prevents
youth involvement in crime, violence, and unsafe economic activities.
SEOPW CRA's goal of crime reduction intervention through youth development and opportunity
access is directly reflected in the program's objectives such as:
a) Redirecting youth from idle or unsupervised hours after school and during the weekends
into structured, skill -building roles.
b) Disrupt generation cycles of poverty by offering paid, community -based employment at
$15/hour.
c) Introduce youth to civic responsibility, leadership, and workplace culture to build future -
oriented identities.
d) Deepen trust between youth, families, and community -based institutions by embedding
young people into roles that serve their peers.
This internship model creates visible alternatives to violence, drugs, and disengagement through
lecture and lived experiences. Youths embody the lessons taught, which is then translated into
them being frontline contributors to the culture of safety in Overtown.
2. Unique or scalable components
The model's uniqueness rests on simplicity, rootedness, and replicability. The program activates
what already works in Overtown and positions it for broader application. Thus, placing youth in
safe, supervised work environments within their neighborhoods refines it to more directly address
the social conditions that predispose young people at risk.
Each element of the program is intentionally designed to be both functional and transferable. The
key components that make this approach effective and replicable include:
5
Paid Internships That Serve a Protective Function: The program offers a wage of
$15/hour to young people who are often compounded by economic pressures at home.
In Overtown, where the median household income is $39,894, youth frequently rely
on informal labor or even survival -based activities to support their families
(Point2Home, 2023). In underserved communities such as Overtown, community -level
data suggest that a substantial number of youth arrests stem from economic
desperation and familial responsibilities. In Miami, Overtown has been a hotspot area
for crime with a rate of 10.97 per 1,000 residents (Miami Crime Map, 2024). By paying
interns fairly and consistently, the program offers an alternative, one that rewards
structure, responsibility, and contribution. The internship is a job with purpose,
designed to replace risk with opportunity and reduce the urge for criminal activities
when there's an economic meltdown.
Keeping Youth Grounded in Their Community: Rather than placing the youths in
different "safe" neighborhoods to "expose" them to success, the program retains them
in Overtown and places them in life -transforming roles. Interns work at the OYC Miami
site, supporting afterschool and weekend programming, community events, and
operational tasks. In doing so, they are seen by their peers and neighbors in positions
of responsibility. This visibility is critical in shaping how the community begins to view
young people as part of the solution in reducing crime -related activities.
Designed to Fit Within Existing Community Organizations: The Internship model
is built with replication in mind; thus, it can be adopted by other nonprofit organizations,
youth movements, community centers, and churches in Overtown to ensure crime
prevention intervention and community safety are achieved. The internship operates
on a fixed, predictable schedule during high -risk hours such as after -school,
weekends, and non -school days. This ensures youths receive a reliable space to show
up, be seen, and belong. This steady rhythm of engagement supports accountability
and builds familiarity between staff, interns, and the broader community. Over time,
that familiarity becomes the foundation for prevention. The continuous expansion of
the program also creates visibility. In addition, interns are present in communal spaces,
assisting in youth programming, helping with events, and interacting with younger
students and community members. Their presence challenges negative assumptions
about teenagers in the neighborhood. Adults begin to recognize them as responsible
contributors, and younger children begin to look up to them. This quiet visibility of
6
!i
showing up, week after week, in service to others often becomes one of the most
powerful deterrents to disengagement and risky behavior.
iv. Reaching Youth Where Risk is Highest: The internship program targets windows of
time when youth are most vulnerable, with the "idle time" such as after -school, on
weekends, and during school breaks. These are often the hours when violence occurs,
peer pressure is strongest, and supervision is lacking. By scheduling work shifts during
these times, the program steps in as a stabilizing force. It gives young people a place
to be, something to do, and someone to answer to; all of which help interrupt exposure
to unsafe environments in a neighborhood where violent crime rates remain more than
double the national average. In Overtown, the crime rate is 103% higher than the
national average. 1 in 13 residents in northeast and 1 in 30 residents in southwest
Overtown are victims of crime, and the violent crime is 227% higher than the national
average (Areavibes, 2025). Miami -Dade County reported an 11 % decrease in
homicides, a 21% drop in robberies, and a 51 % reduction in reported rapes in the first
quarter of 2025 compared to the same period in 2024 (Local News Report, 2025).
While county -wide improvements are encouraging, they mask deep neighborhood -
level disparities. Overtown continues to rank in the 37t' percentile of Miami
neighborhoods for safety (Crimegrade, 2025).
Influencing Behavior Through Responsibility: Interns are expected to show up,
perform, communicate, and grow, just like in any other professional setting. Through
coaching, interns are expected to lead, and through regular leadership sessions,
feedback loops, and assigned roles, they start to view themselves differently. They
move from needing help to giving help to others. For many, this is the first time they
are asked to mentor younger children, organize an activity, or assist in planning events.
Over time, this shift in role becomes a shift in identity, and that shift, in the long run, is
what helps reduce involvement in crime.
B. Organizational Experience and Capacity (20 points)
3. Background and relevant experience
a) Organizational History
Since opening its doors in 2003, the Overtown Youth Center, Inc. (OYC Miami) has remained a
trusted anchor institution in Miami's historic Overtown neighborhood that's shaped by a rich
cultural legacy, persistent structural inequalities, and a deep desire for transformation. What
7
began as an after -school camp has evolved into a comprehensive youth and family development
center that now serves over 5,000 individuals annually across South Florida. Its mission is to
inspire, empower, and enrich the lives of youths and families through five key pillars of impact:
Education, Health & Wellness, Enrichment & Exposure, Family Service, and Economic
Sustainability.
With more than two decades of operation, OYC Miami has developed an integrated service model
that addresses the social, emotional, educational, and economic barriers that disproportionately
affect young people in underserved communities. Its approach embeds academic tutoring, mental
health counseling, family support, mentorship, enrichment, and workforce training, with an
emphasis on building long-term relationships and closing opportunity gaps. The organization's
footprint spans from early childhood through postsecondary years, creating sustained
interventions at critical turning points in a young person's life.
A flagship initiative within OYC Miami is the Year -Round Youth Internship Program, which is a
workforce readiness and crime prevention intervention for high school youth ages 14-18.
Designed to counter the risks of poverty, peer pressure, and unstructured time, the internship
program offers paid placements with the organization's afterschool and weekend programming.
Interns gain real -world experience, professional mentoring, and exposure to college and career
pathways. In doing so, they are shielded from risk and surrounded by guidance. The internship is
a structured alternative to environments that often feed into cycles of dropout, incarceration, or
disconnection.
During the 2023-2024 program cycle, OYC Miami supported 20 high school interns; 19 of whom
(95%) completed the program without incident. At least 85% demonstrated growth in college and
career readiness, while others transitioned directly into additional work experience or
postsecondary training. But beyond numbers, it's the stories that stay. Students like Javon, who
arrived late, distracted, and skeptical of "another program," eventually found their stride after
being paired with a staff mentor who had once walked in his shoes. By the end of the internship,
Javon had improved his attendance and spoke at a youth leadership panel on the importance of
being "seen for who you can become, not just where you come from."
OYC Miami continues to be deeply embedded in the neighborhoods it serves. With sustained
partnerships in place, including past support from the SEOPW CRA, Miami -Dade County, local
employers, and institutional funders, the organization brings both experience and credibility to the
task at hand. Its programs are community -tested, trusted by families, and refined through years
of listening and learning. With a proven ability to design and scale interventions that build safety
8
through opportunity, OYC Miami remains firmly committed to preparing youth for employment,
leadership, and long-term stability.
b) Comparable Contracts:2020-2025
Over the past 5 years, OYC Miami has successfully implemented multiple contracts that align

4. Key team members
The success of OYC Miami's Year -Round Youth Internship Program relies on a team of dedicated
professionals with both technical expertise and community grounding needed to guide youth away
from high -risk environments and into structured, growth -centered opportunities. Each team
member plays a targeted role in keeping participants engaged, accountable, and supported to
ensure they emerge as leaders with pathways beyond high school. This team ensures that the
program operates as an early -intervention strategy that reduces idle time, increases adult
mentorship, and reinforces positive peer networks, which are critical components of effective
crime prevention intervention and community safety.
Some of the key staff include:
Tina Brown (Chief Executive Officer): Serving as CEO since 2005, Ms. Brown has led
OYC Miami through nearly two decades of sustained growth and transformation. Under
her leadership, the organization's operating revenue increased by more than 500%,
service reach tripled, and program offerings expanded across five key pillars of impact.
Her leadership in executing a $20 million capital campaign reflects strategic fundraising
acumen and long-term planning capabilities. Ms. Brown ensures executive -level
10
accountability and has positioned OYC Miami as a model for holistic youth development
within and beyond South Florida.
ii. Brittany Lambert -Brown (Chief Program Officer): Ms. Lambert -Brown brings deep
cross -sector experience in program management, quality improvement, and community -
based mental health. She oversees the design and implementation of OYC Miami's core
programming, including the youth internship portfolio, ensuring alignment across
education, wellness, and family services. Her background in grant development and
process improvement strengthens the organization's ability to meet funder expectations,
mana5ge data -driven interventions, and maintain compliance with multi -year public
contracts. She provides oversight and strategic guidance to ensure the internship program
is effectively integrated into OYC Miami's broader youth development framework.
iii. Dr. Lovely Noel (Director of College and Career Services): Dr. Noel oversees the
administrative and operational components of the internship program, including
scheduling, logistics, budget coordination, and evaluation readiness. With over a decade
of experience in student engagement and transitional programming, she ensures that
each intern's experience is safe, well -organized, and aligned with program expectations.
Her management helps maintain the structural integrity needed to hold young people
accountable while giving them space to grow, which is a key factor in diverting youth from
instability or risky alternatives.
iv. Jasmine McMillan (Workforce Development Specialist): Ms. McMillan provides direct
supervision and support to interns on a daily basis. She coordinates recruitment, tracks
attendance, manages behavior, and builds relationships with students and families to
ensure consistent participation. With her background in mentorship, career development,
youth prevention and intervention services, and teaching/academic support, she is often
the first line of support for youth navigating peer pressure, academic stress, or home
challenges. Her visible, daily presence reinforces trust and consistency, both of which are
protective factors against disengagement and delinquency.
Together, the team meets bi-weekly to review students' progress, discuss challenges, and
coordinate interventions. If an intern begins to disengage, miss hours, or show signs of distress,
the team acts quickly, whether through increased check -ins, parent contact, or adjustments of
goals. This integrated approach ensures that interns remain visible, supported, and guided,
reducing the chances of exposure to violence, unsafe peer groups, or illegal activities.
11
C. Community Engagement Strategy (15 points)
5. Stakeholder involvement
The Year -Round Youth Internship Program is rooted in the belief that positive youth development
and crime prevention cannot be fully achieved by any single institution alone. The program is
designed around a network of strategic partnerships, with each stakeholder playing a defined,
active role in the success of the interns, the safety of the community, and the continuity of
opportunity beyond the internship. These relationships are built into the program's structure,
expectations, and delivery model.
Miami -Dade County Public Schools (M-DCPS) (Referral, Coordination, and
Monitoring): OYC Miami works closely with public high schools in and near the
Overtown area, such as Booker T. Washington Senior High School, Law Enforcement
Officers' Memorial High School, Miami Northwestern Senior High School, and Miami
Jackson Senior High School, to identify students for the internship program. School
counselors and administrators refer students who are academically capable but at
heightened risk of disengagement due to environmental or socioeconomic pressures.
Once enrolled, the program maintains communication with school contacts to monitor
academic standing, behavior, and attendance. This partnership ensures that students
experience wraparound support across both in -school and out -of -school
environments. If a student's academic performance declines or behavioral challenges
arise, the school and OYC Miami team coordinate early interventions aimed at
reducing risk before it escalates into disciplinary action or dropout.
ii. Families and Caregivers (Stability, Accountability, and Support): Families are
involved from the very beginning of the internship process. They attend orientation
sessions, sign off on Individual Success Plans, and are kept informed about student
progress, attendance, and performance evaluations. In cases where students are at
risk of program dismissal due to attendance or conduct, staff first engage caregivers
to understand underlying issues and offer alternatives such as schedule adjustments
or behavioral coaching. For many interns, the program represents the first time their
families have seen them treated as professionals, which elevates family buy -in and
increases student commitment. This partnership with caregivers becomes particularly
important during school breaks or enhancement days, when youth are vulnerable to
idle time and increased street exposure.
12
iii. Youth Mentorship and Guest Facilitators (Relatable, Credible Influence): The
program actively engages professionals from within Overtown and greater Miami to
serve as guest speakers and workshop facilitators. These individuals are selected for
their proximity, since they are professionals who reflect the backgrounds of interns and
can speak authentically about navigating college, employment, entrepreneurship, or
personal setbacks. Past facilitators have included local business owners, university
and technical college personnel, corporate personnel, government sector personnel,
social workers and/or other health professionals, and tradespeople. These sessions
are structured as conversations, thus creating space for interns to ask candid
questions about money, fear, failure, and success. This model of relational mentoring
is built on shared lived experience, and it helps interns shift their self-image and
envision new possibilities for their futures.
iv. Local Employers and Postsecondary Institutions (Exposure and Transition): As
part of the program component, OYC Miami is strengthening relationships with local
employers, vocational training providers, and college access programs. These
stakeholders offer job -shadowing opportunities, campus tours, and informational
interviews. The purpose is early exposure to help students build comfort, vocabulary,
and networks that will serve them post -graduation. This is particularly critical for first -
generation students who may not have personal access to these systems without
program support. In the long term, these relationships form the bridge from intern to
employee, from student to graduate, reducing the likelihood that youth return to
unstructured or risky environments after the program ends.
6. Trust -building efforts
For over two decades, OYC Miami has consistently earned trust, sustained it, and rebuilt it when
necessary. Trust -building is a core operating principle that governs how staff interact with youth,
families, partners, and the community at large. For numerous high school students in Overtown,
this internship program is usually the first structured opportunity where they are treated as
capable, valued contributors to society. That distinction matters as it shapes how they show up,
how long they stay, and how deeply they engage.
Trust with youth is built through consistency and presence. Program staff show up every day,
know each student by name, and offer feedback in ways that are clear. Interns are never "talked
down to" but are they're mentored, coached, and asked for their input. Staff ask about their lives
outside of work, follow up when they're absent, and offer help when they sense something is off.
13
When an intern makes a mistake, whether it's lateness, poor behavior, or disengagement, the
first response is a conversation to understand the cause behind the mistake. These relational
approaches are especially important in neighborhoods such as Overtown, where many systems
(schools, law enforcement, even nonprofits) are viewed with skepticism or fear.
In addition, families are treated as allies who aid in program success. From the initial intake
process, parents and caregivers are welcomed into the program and updated regularly through
calls, texts, and meetings. Staff are intentional about building personal rapport through greeting
parents by name, asking about their work schedules, and respecting their time. This attentiveness
fosters family buy -in and allows the program to act as a trusted touchpoint during moments of
crisis, such as when a youth begins to struggle academically or emotionally. For some caregivers,
this is the first time they've had a consistent adult advocate for their child outside of the school
system, and that trust becomes a stabilizing force.
The program is physically rooted in Overtown, a place the community already knows and
respects, the OYC Miami Main Site. This location is a safe, familiar space where youth have
grown up attending after -school programs, where siblings have played, and where families have
received wraparound services. Hosting the internship here reinforces trust by offering continuity
and familiarity. Moreover, interns are placed in roles where they give back, such as helping with
after -school programs or supporting Saturday activities. This visibility allows the broader
community to see youth contributing, rather than simply consuming services; a dynamic that shifts
perception and builds generational respect.
The program also earns trust by doing what it says it will do, like paying on time, maintaining
confidentiality, and following through on commitments. Interns receive clear expectations, regular
performance feedback, and tangible benefits (such as pay stubs, evaluations, and college
readiness support) that reinforce their sense of worth. When youth feel seen, supported, and paid
fairly, they are more likely to trust and to stay. That retention is both a program success strategy
and a crime prevention intervention. Every hour spent in a structured internship is an hour away
from the kinds of environments where mistrust and hopelessness often lead to poor choices.
D. Crime Reduction Impact (15 points)
7. Metrics for success
The Youth Internship Program is evaluated by its ability to interrupt the conditions that place young
people at risk of criminal involvement, educational disengagement, or economic instability. Every
14
Metric OYC Miami uses is designed to capture one of the three critical outcomes: stability, growth,
and disruption of risk.
The metrics of success used include:
Retention and Attendance (Stability): Interns are expected to attend 90% of their
scheduled shifts across the 26-week program. Attendance is tracked via timesheets
and validated by program staff daily. Consistent attendance is viewed as an indicator
of engagement and reflects a young person's ability to adhere to routine, show up
despite challenges, and build internal discipline. Youth who maintain this level of
consistency are statistically less likely to engage in opportunistic or street -based
activity during after -school hours, when many juvenile offenses occur.
ii. Performance Evaluations (Growth): Interns receive two formal performance
evaluations: mid -year and end -of -program. These assessments measure
communication, professionalism, accountability, and leadership potential. At least 85%
of interns are expected to demonstrate satisfactory or above -satisfactory performance.
Evaluation tools are behavior -based, allowing staff to track both skill acquisition and
character development. Mentorship is provided for those who need additional support,
which ensures that evaluations are used as coaching tools.
iii. College and Career Readiness (Growth and Risk Reduction): Pre- and post -
assessments are used to measure changes in knowledge, confidence, and
preparedness related to college, vocational training, and workforce entry. At least 85%
of participants are expected to show measurable improvement. These indicators are
essential for understanding long-term protective outcomes. Students who see a viable
future beyond high school are more likely to stay focused, delay risky behaviors, and
disengage from peer networks involved in crime.
iv. Job Placement and Postsecondary Enrollment (Transitional Safety Net): Post -
program follow-up tracks how many interns secure part-time jobs, enroll in training
programs, or continue their education. At least 90% of interns are expected to engage
in one of these productive pathways within six months. These data points are used to
evaluate how successfully the program transitions youth from structure to opportunity.
A critical window where many teens are vulnerable to street -level pressures.
v. Qualitative Risk Observations and Early Intervention: The program captures
qualitative risk indicators such as unexplained absences, signs of family instability,
exposure to violence, or emotional distress. These are logged by staff in bi-weekly
15
team meetings, triggering tailored responses, such as counseling referrals, schedule
adjustments, or family engagement. These observations are used internally to
prevent escalation.
vi. Long-term community Safety Contribution: The program contributes directly to
conditions that prevent crime. Every intern retained, mentored, and paid is one more
youth removed from idle time, risky spaces, or recruitment by informal economies.
Every caregiver engaged, every employer partnered, and every workshop delivered
adds to the collective web of community resilience, which is a metric that cannot
always be quantified, but is deeply felt.

8. Evidence -based strategies
The Year -Round Youth Internship Program is built on solid evidence linking paid youth
employment, structured mentorship, and continuous community engagement to measurable
reductions in youth involvement in criminal activities and long-term improvement in life outcomes.
Its design draws from some of the most rigorously evaluated workforce and youth development
models in the United States, tailored to the realities of communities like Overtown.
A pivotal study of the One Summer Chicago Plus program, one of the most cited youth
employment interventions in the country, found that participation in a paid summer job reduced
violent -crime arrests by 43% over a 16-month period (Everytown Research & Policy Report,
2023). Notably, this effect persisted well beyond the summer months, suggesting that consistent,
meaningful engagement can rewire decision -making patterns and disrupt exposure to high -risk
environments. These results were linked to the structure, mentorship, and accountability
embedded in the model, all of which are core to OYC Miami's 26-week internship framework.
The length of the program is itself a critical intervention. Research from MDRC and the Office of
Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention (2020) consistently affirms that interventions lasting
longer than 12 weeks have stronger impacts on behavioral change and retention. In line with this,
the Year -Round Youth Internship Program spans over half a year and runs through the academic
calendar, ensuring that the protective effects of structure and adult supervision are sustained
through periods when youth are typically most vulnerable, such as after -school, weekends, and
school breaks.
The importance of proximity and trust is also central to the model. Research from the Urban
Institute (2022) emphasizes that mentorship is most effective when rooted in a youth's own
environment, guided by adults they recognize and trust, and in spaces that feel safe and familiar.
Unlike many interventions that displace youth into unfamiliar institutions, the OYC Miami
internship embeds them within their own community. Interns report to a site they recognize,
17
interact with staff who've built rapport with their families, and participate in programming that
reflects their lived experiences. This proximity -based approach reinforces credibility and lowers
resistance, especially for students with deep skepticism toward systems or unfamiliar authority
figures.
Structured daily schedules and consistent expectations further strengthen outcomes. Studies
published in peer -reviewed journals such as The Journal of Public Economics confirm that idle
time during after -school hours remains one of the highest risk periods for juvenile offense. By
anchoring youth in paid, supervised, skill -building roles during these windows, the internship
model directly addresses one of the most preventable drivers of community -level crime.
Moreover, interns gain transferable skills, engage in service roles that uplift their neighborhood,
and form a vision for their own future beyond high school.
Finally, the program's design includes built-in mechanisms for observation and early intervention.
Staff are trained to notice changes in behavior, lapses in attendance, or signs of instability, and
to respond with support rather than discipline. These soft data points are often the most predictive
indicators of risk. The ability to intervene early, before issues escalate, is both an ethical
commitment and a crime prevention strategy.
E. Sustainability and Evaluation (15 points)
9. Long-term funding strategy
The sustainability of the internship program is rooted in a multi -pronged approach that blends
diversified revenue streams, long-standing partnerships, and demonstrated outcomes. The
organization strategically leverages layered funding, including municipal contracts, philanthropic
contributions, corporate sponsorships, events, and individual contributions, to ensure continuity
beyond any single source. For over two decades, OYC Miami has successfully secured and
renewed major public funding contracts, including those from The Children's Trust, Miami -Dade
County, Florida Department of Education, and private foundations like the Jorge M. Perez Family
Foundation. Each of these funders has supported OYC Miami's youth programming for
consecutive years, reflecting the funders' trust in OYC Miami's execution, reporting, and long-
term value. Additionally, the organization invests in a full-time development team that proactively
cultivates funder relationships, aligns proposals with evolving priorities, and tracks funding
renewal cycles. The $20 million capital campaign completed under the current leadership
exemplifies this forward -thinking approach to financial growth. As outcomes data continue to
demonstrate the program's impact on crime prevention, college readiness, and workforce entry,
18
OYC Miami will consistently seek to position this model for inclusion in state and county budget
lines as a cost-effective, high -impact solution for youth safety and development.
10. Data collection and analysis
OYC Miami maintains a vigorous data infrastructure that enables real-time tracking, longitudinal
monitoring, and outcomes reporting across all program areas. Intern performance is tracked
through a combination of attendance logs, timecards, pre- and post -assessments, and mid- and
end -of -program staff evaluations. All data are digitized and securely stored through the agency's
centralized case management system (NewOrg), which allows for disaggregation by age, gender,
and risk indicators. Interns also complete surveys at multiple touchpoints, entry, midpoint, and
exit, to capture changes in mindset, readiness, and behavior. Qualitative data are collected
through regular staff debriefs, incident logs, and coaching notes, offering a full view of each
participant's journey. The organization conducts quarterly internal reviews to assess program
fidelity, surface any disparities, and identify implementation gaps. Annual reports are developed
and shared with funders, stakeholders, and board members, and these reports often inform future
program design and grant renewals. Most importantly, the evaluation framework drives
continuous learning. Staff use the findings to refine the curriculum, strengthen intervention
touchpoints, and build stronger bridges between student needs and community resources. In this
way, data is both a tool for documentation and a lever for strategic evolution and long-term
success.

12. Cost -benefit alignment Executive Director
According to the CEO, the budget for the Year -Round Youth Internship Program is fully aligned
with OYC Miami's mission to inspire, empower, and enrich the lives of youth and families through
education, workforce development, and community safety. The allocation of funds reflects a
deliberate focus on direct impact, with more than 73% of the $200,000 budget dedicated to paying
youth interns and providing their benefits. This emphasis ensures that resources are used where
they have the greatest effect, creating economic opportunity and reducing the conditions that
contribute to crime.
The cost -benefit structure of this proposal is designed to maximize value while maintaining fiscal
responsibility. Executive oversight is provided in -kind by the CEO, eliminating additional
administrative cost while ensuring the program benefits from experienced, strategic leadership.
Remaining personnel and operational expenses are kept lean and targeted, supporting program
delivery, workforce training, evaluation, and community engagement. This approach ensures that
every dollar is tied to measurable outcomes and mission -driven activities.
From the CEO's perspective, this investment offers both immediate and long-term returns for the
community. In the short term, it reduces youth idle time and exposure to high -risk environments;
in the long term, it builds pathways to higher education, stable employment, and civic
engagement. The proposed budget is not only cost-effective but also mission -centered, ensuring
that OYC Miami delivers results that advance the goals of both the organization and the SEOPW
C RA.

12. Cost -benefit alignment Executive Director
According to the CEO, the budget for the Year -Round Youth Internship Program is fully aligned
with OYC Miami's mission to inspire, empower, and enrich the lives of youth and families through
education, workforce development, and community safety. The allocation of funds reflects a
deliberate focus on direct impact, with more than 73% of the $200,000 budget dedicated to paying
youth interns and providing their benefits. This emphasis ensures that resources are used where
they have the greatest effect, creating economic opportunity and reducing the conditions that
contribute to crime.
The cost -benefit structure of this proposal is designed to maximize value while maintaining fiscal
responsibility. Executive oversight is provided in -kind by the CEO, eliminating additional
administrative cost while ensuring the program benefits from experienced, strategic leadership.
Remaining personnel and operational expenses are kept lean and targeted, supporting program
delivery, workforce training, evaluation, and community engagement. This approach ensures that
every dollar is tied to measurable outcomes and mission -driven activities.
From the CEO's perspective, this investment offers both immediate and long-term returns for the
community. In the short term, it reduces youth idle time and exposure to high -risk environments;
in the long term, it builds pathways to higher education, stable employment, and civic
engagement. The proposed budget is not only cost-effective but also mission -centered, ensuring
that OYC Miami delivers results that advance the goals of both the organization and the SEOPW
C RA.
