Fort Worth Crime Control and Prevention District
I. General fnformation
Project Sponsor: UMOJA — Fort Worth
Project Name: UMOJA Behavior Motlification Program
Prepared By: Luther Perry, Co-Founder
II. Description of the Proposed Project
A. Program Elements for Which Assistance Is Requested
For the past nine years, the Men of UMOJA have conducted UMOJA Behavior Modification Program for at-risk
youth enrolled in seven elementary and middle schools in the Fort Worth Independent School District
(FWISD). Each year approximately 600-800 students participate in an annual Responsible Fatherhood and
Family Development Conference, as well as a two day camping trip to Lake Bridgeport. During this time the
UMOJA a(I-volunteer staff facilitates classes in gardening, fishing, and basic camping skills while working with
these often troubled youfh to address such complex issues as self-esteem, anger management, conflict
resolution, and the importance of education. UMOJA requests funding from the Fort Worth Control and
Prevention District to implement an UMOJA Program at Eastern Nills High School as an intervention
measure to the high drop out rate, school violence and juvenile crime in the city of Fort Worth. The site
director will work a Haff-Day Schedule, from 8am to 12 noon.
C3, Program History
UMOJA (which means UNITY) was created in 1994 to mentor young boys and girls to achieve success in
school. However, a heightened sense of urgency and the need for high impact interventions was created with
the rises in school violence, school suspension, and high school drop out rates. The Men af UMOJA found
th��t after several years of working in their respective careers with at-risk youth, that their collective
experiences and subsequent expertise could be used to impact positive outcomes in children who are
academically challenged and who suffer from low self-esteem. In addition to offering year-long mentoring
whEch includes programming on Drug Awareness, Academic Achievement, Self-Esteem through Culture, and
Community Resources, the Men of UMOJA decided to take youth away from their predictable and often
distracting urban environment to experience, what was for rnany, their first time in a camping environment.
The campsite not only provides opportunities for non-traditional recreational acfivities, but also gives the
UMUJA staff the occasion to learn more about each child and how to best mentor/support that child throughout
their involvement in the program.
C.UMOJA Objectives
UMOJ,q Mentoring Program offers and array of educational and developmental services designed for teaching
and motivating youth, Emphasis is placed on improving academic performance, personal development and
behavioral management. Program services are tailored to meet the individual needs and interests of each
participant through a competency-based approach to education. Through our intensive "Behavior Modification
Program (SET CLAE, MAN IN THE MIRROR, DRUG AWARENESS, CONFLICT RESOLUTION, RIGHTS OF
PASSAGE) we will have an impact on third parties and suspension. This will improve school attendance,
academics and behavior, which uftimately leads to improving school drop out rate, decreasing school gang
and viol�nce activity and decrease juvenile crime in the city of Fort Worth. UMOJA also utilizes our campsite
located in Granbury as an opportunity to work with the children and expose them to new opportunities while
broading �heir horizons, Sfudents will be measured for eff.ectiveness a couple of ways

1. through their report card which should show an increase in grades, attendance and citizenship which shows
increase in positive behavior and participation in class.
2, we will receive a report from the principal, teachers and parents on the child improvement.
III. PROGRAM BENEFICIARfES (project Justification)
D. Need for Services
The at-risk youth involved in UMOJA often experience and live in a variety of challenging environments. Each�
participating school is located in a low-income area where their respective poverty rates range from 13.6% to
30.3%, a stark comparison. to the state's poverty rate of 12.0% (Census 2000). Sadly, poverty rates in these
areas are even higher for female-headed (single parent) households, In these neighborhoods, youth often
have a frighteningly high level of access to drugs, weapons, and alcohol, and disappointingly few options for
positive recreational activities. There are other opportunities for "at-risk" youth in these neighborhoods,
however, specialized camping experiences are often beyond a family's financial means, and none ofi the other
programs targeted towards at-risk youth involve camping or other non-traditional recreational activities. For
most participating youth, fhis is their first camping experience - an experience that not only offers fun activities,
but aiso extracts them from their famil'iar environment to focus on their academic and personal success.
Youth participating in UMOJA have been referred to the program by their schools' principals as an alternative
to suspension. `The geographic location of these students will be based on the focation of the site chosen for
the proposed funding. In many cases, youth are suspended from school for fighting, inappropriate language,
or other aggressive or threatening behaviors. Given this reality, the Men of UMOJA felt strongly tfiat youth
needed to be taught to better manage their anger, develop conflict resolution skills, and work in and as team to
curb negative behavior. During the 2001-2002 school cycle, two-hundred eighty-eight (288) non-UMOJA
sfudents were suspended, while only ten (10) UMOJA students were suspended (five of seven schools
reporting). It becomes evidenf that not only is such behavior management training needed, it is also highly
effective.
E. Project Impact on Current and Future Communify Needs
UMOJA not only supports personal growth and development, but also academic success. Currently, each of
the seven participating schools had below average TAAS scores during the 2001-2002 school years.

UMOJA—ForfWo ,,,�2:0��-.�U �
Submitfed archi3;�, 200,�j ;;: �!�' 9� 2�?,
UMOJA has been working in the school district going on ten years now with a proven track record, What we
do in unique and can not be compared to other programs. None of the other programs do what we do. We
currently work in seveh schools consisting of middle and elementary and we are funded by the Fort Worth
lndependent School District. Do to the high drop out rate of our high school students is imperative that we
implement an UMOJA Behavior Modification Program on a high school level. 45% of the students in the ninth
grade do not make it to the tenth grade. The school district does not aflow room to add an additionaf program
at this time, but problems were facing as a society from our youth demand that we find a way to help them.
UMOJA Behavior Modification Program, as well as through its wide range of inentoring, tutoriaf, recreational
services helps academicaliy- and behaviorally-challenged youth to develop positive habits and skills �that will
have an immediate impact on their school success. Beyond the elementary and middle school levels, these
youth will also need the skills that UMOJA teaches to support high school matriculation; graduation and
beyond. fn these low-income areas, an average 61.5% of its residents graduate high schoof or higher, and
only 9.6% go on to complete a bachelor's degree, compared to the state's high school and bachelor degree
completion rates of 75.7% and 23.2%; respectively (Census 2000): UMOJA's, through its hand-on approach
to mentoring youth, will prepare youth to meet the current and future challenges ;that they are sure to
encounter. �
G. Innovative Program Features, Pfanning, and Community Involvement
Importanf to the overall success. of the program are fwo critical components — strong curriculum and school
support. Through the:`UMOJA Behavior Modification Program youth are introduced. to fwo critical program
curricula —"Man. in the Mirror" and "Rites of Passage". The "Man in the Mirror" curriculum_advocates personal
accountability in all circumstances while the `Rites of Passage" curriculum teaches self worth and helps youth
to identify and commit to their own personal purpose, wfiile supporting self-evaluation skills and positive role-
model. In addition to creative curricula; the support of each school's staff and administration is essential and
often unparalleled in ofher at-risk youth programs.. Each par�icipating school brings a commitment from the
School Board, Principal, Vice Principal; and School CQuncil. In addition, each school provides office space,
recruitment and referral of UMOJA participants, as well as support to recreational and academic programs
both on and off the school's site.
IV. Priority Funding Elements
UMOJA's Conflict. Resolution Camps address many of the priority funding elements outlined in the program
application. A detailed description of how the proposed project, as well as the organization, meets #hese
priority areas is outlined below. ,
Services to Underserved Populations
During the 2002-2003 school years, UMOJA served approximately 2800 students of various ethnic
backgrounds. Of those served 66% were African-American, 31% were Hispanic American and the
remaining 3% wfiere either Anglo-American or Asian American. Two-hundred (200) were female; and
all were under that age of 17. UMOJA does not colfect data on participant family income; however,
census information confirms that many of the participating youth reside in high-poverty neighborhoods.
Number of Partnerships Involved in Froject
Each of fhe aforementioned elementary and middle schools is heavily involved in supporting the goals
and outcomes of fhe UMOJA Mentoring Program. Each provides office space, participant recruitment
and referral, and general program support. In addition, the project is supported by the Fort Worth __ _
Police Department (FWPD), Ministers Against Crime (MAC), and the Department of Justice' �a�uIS �,�,� 1 �,='= ,,;��

Based Initiafive. The Fort Worth Police Department provides financial support for several UMOJA
projects, student mentars and regular speakers at UMOJA-sponsored functions. Ministers Against
Crime provides facilities space for annual conferences as well as funding, while, the Department of
Justice Value-Based Initiafive provides funding for those conferences and serves as a resource
through the faith-based community. Letters of support from each partner are included in the
application packet.
Educational Curriculum Elements
UMOJA's Mentoring Program addresses Awareness, Knowledge and Skills, Critical Thinking, and
Responsible Behavior throughout its programming. Many of the at-risk youth participating in the
Mentoring Program have very little exposure, if any, to nature or to the camp environment. Visits to
the campsite raise:student awareness ta-less-traditional recreational activities and lifestyles. Student
knowledge and skills are improved as they are introduced to new camp and wildlife skills. The actual
camp experience then acts as a platform to teach critical thinking and responsible behavior skilis
around issues of self-awareness, personal ac�countability, and goal-setting. UMOJA's goal is to
provide services to $o students at EHHS, 20 from each grade level-9tn��pfn���tn & 12t" grades.

DISCUSSION:
The Crime Control and Prevention District (CCPD) Board included funds totaling $200,000 in its FY2006-07
budget for community-based crime prevention programs in response to requests made during the Phase III
renewal of the CCPD. Community programs were solicited through a Request for Proposals (RFP) issued
March 1, 2006. Twelve requests for funding were received totaling $364,586.10.
A panel made up of City staff and community representatives was assembled to review the proposals to
ensure that minimum qualifications were met and that the proposed projects met one or more of the goals
of the CCPD. The CCPD Board reviewed the proposals and panel recommendations at its August 17, 2006
meeting. The Board subsequently endorsed the recommendation to fund nine of the proposing agencies as
indicated above for a total of $190,274. The term of each contract shall be October 1, 2006- September 30,
2007. A short synopsis of each of the programs is attached.
