A-Prep Center of Tarrant County
Youth Initiative Enrichment Program
One in five new prisoners added nationally during the 1990's were added in the state
of Texas. In July of 2000 prisoner number 1,000,000 was officially created within the
Texas Criminal Justice System. One out of every 20 adult Texans are under criminal
justice control. 44%of the total prison and jail population in the state of Texas are
African American. A high percentage of Texas inmates have one or more family
members that has at one time been incarcerated.
Most studies show that children of inmates' risk of future incarceration is now eight
times greater than their peers. The incarceration of a parent impacts every important
aspect of the positive development of a child.First time offenders average from 2 to 5
years within the criminal justice system in some capacity. As a one time offender,2 to 5
years in a child's life is crucial development time in where full parental support is
essential. Repeat offenders often times miss the majority if not all of the formative
childhood years of their children. The impact of an incarcerated parent is visable in the
dropout rate, alcohol and substance abuse rate and the climbing rate of youth offenders.
A-Prep Center of Tarrant County has been providing services to the citizens of District
8 and Southeast Fort Worth for fourteen(14)years. The Center has grown from one
dedicated woman's desire to help her neighbors,to a one stop community center. A-Prep
Center's hands on direct approach to providing community assistance has been a
cornerstone in helping to deter domestic violence,theft and vandalism in the community.
A-Prep Center's ongoing hope is to create opportunities for youth to find solutions to
their problems,to strengthen their families and communities and work together towards
economic viability. This program is designed to enrich the lives of these special needs
youth through the stewardship of our resources and the responsive provision of
educational, cultural and recreational activities. The targeted outcome of the program is
to "break the cycle"of crime within our community.
The program consists of six curriculum components which include Developmental
Assets,Life Skills, Crisis Intervention, Substance Abuse, Cultural Awareness and
Mentoring. Each curriculum will be for a period of six(6)weeks, six(6)hours per week
and a seventh week for evaluation and testing. Results will be monitored and measured
through before and after comparisons,role playing,group discussions,individual and
group projects,verbal and written exams. All contact and progress will be documented on
each participant through case management procedures.The program will not only benefit
the participants with what they will learn in each curriculum,but also the community will
benefit from the reduction of potential crime according to statistics involving children of
offenders. The program seeks to enroll 20 participants between the ages of 6-14 years of
age within the areas of South to Southeast Fort Worth. The program is a collaboration
Page 2
between two established entities within the community,A-Prep Center of Tarrant County
and Sweet Home Missionary Baptist Church.Both of these faith-based organizations
(FBO)have existing programs servicing adult Ex-Offenders and their families. These
services include providing clothing,food,spiritual counseling,and employment
opportunities at no cost. Many of these Ex-Offenders have young children within the
targeted age group whose lives are being impacted by the disposition of their parents.
While we recognize and understand the importance of gaining support services for these
parents in order that they may better provide for their children,we also recognize the
need for educating these children in awareness of their family situation and social
environment and the need for building avenues to avoid following the same paths.
Promotion and recruiting efforts will began two (2)weeks prior to registration and
orientation into the program. Several dates for registration will be available throughout a
two (2)month (60 days)period. There will be two (2) dates scheduled for orientation
which will be mandatory for parents to attend. The orientations will be for program
overview, staff and volunteer introductions and final documentation requirements.
A-Prep Center of Tarrant County has a vast resource of qualified instructors to insure
positive and quality results in this unique program. Instructors possess years of
experience in the offered curriculum as well as years of experience working with youth
programs.Each instructor will be compensated at a maximum rate of$20.00 per hour
with a maximum of 6 hours per week.Each curriculum will began with pre-testing in
order to measure progress by the completion. The conclusion of the program will include
a graduation and award ceremony and a reception with each graduate receiving a
certificate of completion.
One of the most far reaching measures we can take is right here before us in the form
of successful programs for children and youth. The impact of these programs is already
being realized in communities large and small. What's more,the knowledge gained by
effective programs over the years can be shared with others struggling with similar
issues. Experience has taught us that programs and approaches producing lasting results
in one corner of the community can be adapted to meet youth needs within communities
many miles away. By forging vital links between successful programs and expanding
their impact, we can make a lasting difference for today and tomorrow's young people.
The success of the first year of this program is an important portion of the plans of
expansion of the program for the following year.
