On March 23, 2004, the City Council authorized the application and acceptance of a grant in the amount of
$130,370 from the Criminal Justice Division of the Office of the Governor of Texas (M&C G-14308). The
Parks and Community Services Department submitted the proposal for the Diamond Hill Coalition After-
School Program in collaboration with the YMCA of Metropolitan Fort Worth and Camp Fire USA First Texas
Council. That grant began the new three-year program for the Safe and Drug-Free Schools and
Communities Act Fund that ends August 31, 2007. With this new grant application, if awarded, the grant
year will begin September 1, 2007 through August 31, 2008.
The Diamond Hill Coalition After-School Program has provided supervised after-school educational, cultural
and recreational activities for middle and high school age youth. It is also designed to promote school
attendance, discipline and learning. A major function of the program is to provide participants with the skills
needed to improve their academic competency in reading, writing and mathematics. With this continuation
grant, the program will serve youth ages ten through seventeen.
