Staff develops better relationships between members of rival gangs by working directly with gang leaders to assist with conflict resolution. Comin' Up provides a safe space through nightly programming, Monday through Friday from 7:00 pm to 11:00 pm. PROBLEM AND CAUSES 1) Programs must address at least one of the following CCPD problem area(s) from the Goal selected on the cover sheet: violent crime, gang-related activities, laftly of residents and/or youth, crime in Fort Worth neighborhoods, or iuvenile crime. Agencies should consult the specific definitions included in this packet. Please justify your selection on the cover sheet by a. Identifying and describing the problem area(s) relevant to your program. b. Identifying if your contract is for a crime prevention program, intervention program, or a direct neighborhood proiect. c. Please describe in detail the causes of those problem area(s) and cite sources. Violent Crime—Causes Income inequality is a major source of aggression and violent crime in human society. BGCGTC strategically serves youth in Fort Worth's most at-risk areas where families have lived for generations in low income environments with a severe lack of resources and low educational attainment. These environments are not well suited for prioritizing education and skills that would lead to obtaining meaningful employment. The lack of conflict resolution and coping skills help contribute to income inequality. The areas in which our members live present a multitude of challenges, this coupled with the lack of education and coping skills also lead to violent crime. (Coccia, M. 2017). In addition, racial inequality contributes to violent crime. BGCGTC serves predominantly African American and Hispanic youth. The diversity, alongside generations of racial inequality and a lack of coping and resolution skills, leaves members with limited options when conflict arises, often leading to violence. (Sampson, R. and Wilson, R. 1995). Gang Related Activities -Causes During adolescence, peer groups and social networks form, each of which can positively or negatively influence a youth's life. Rather than immediately joining serious, violent gangs, some youth become involved in less delinquent groups called"starter gangs."Children and adolescents form starter gangs to introduce themselves to gang culture(i.e.,distinctive attitudes,jargon,rituals,and symbols). In some areas, established gangs sometimes create cliques or sets composed of younger youth called "wannabes," "juniors," "pee wee," and the like. Where members of starter gangs may engage in minor delinquent behaviors, gang members may be involved in serious and violent offenses. Adolescence is a time of changing peer relations and fleeting allegiances to both friends and gangs. (Howell, J. 2010). In the communities BGCGTC serves, which are primarily unstable, low-income, and constantly changing, the gang can be an important life experience. According to The Youth Gang Problem, gangs serve the interests and needs of certain vulnerable youth, particularly during the adolescent and young adult period, when existing social, economic, and even religious institutions do not function properly. Gangs provide a certain degree of FY21 Partners with a Shared Mission Page 19 of 42 Agreement between CFW&Comin'Up Gang Intervention Exhibit A physical protection, social support, solidarity, cultural identification, and moral education as well as opportunities for self-esteem, honor, and sometimes economic gain. (Spergel, 1995). Youth make a conscious choice to join a gang during adolescence, and multiple personal environmental factors influence this choice. Gangs are often at the center of appealing social action-parties,hanging out,music, drugs and opportunities to socialize with the opposite sex. The gang may be appealing because it meets a youth's social needs. According to "Gang Prevention: An Overview of Research and Programs," youth reported the following reasons for joining a gang in the order of descending importance: For protection, for fun, for respect, for money, because a friend was in the gang. It is also common for youth to join gangs because their family members have been a part of a specific gang for generations,especially for Mexican American youth. Involvement with gangs appears to be fluid and transitory for most youth,but gangs do have powerful and enduring effects on the lives of adolescents who join them. Safety of residents and/or youth -Causes It was reported in the 2019 Fourth Quarter Crime Report that there were 44,016 crimes committed against persons or property in 2019. BGCGTC serves youth in schools and community sites located in some of our most at-risk areas. Target neighborhoods are historically low-income, with low educational attainment, high unemployment rates, and associated high rates of illegal activity, including gangs and alcohol and other drugs. Crime throughout Fort Worth neighborhoods Underclass urban neighborhoods,composed heavily of African American and Latino residents,have higher crime rates. The most common characteristics for causes of crime throughout these urban neighborhoods include socioeconomic and demographic characteristics of the area, such as the poverty level, racial composition, residential mobility,labor force characteristics,age structure,and divorce rate.Areas with unstable unemployment circumstances for relatively large portions of adults have higher crime rates. Many leading criminologists believe that the poverty-crime relationship is clear and direct. (Jeffery&Zahm, 1993; Siegel,2005; Vold& Snipes 2002; Williams &McShane, 2004). The Fort Worth Police Department's crime report for the fourth quarter of 2019 outlines higher numbers of crimes in Council Districts 2, 5, 8, and 9, which are the four districts where our programs operate. (https://police.fortworthtexas.gov/Crime-Inforination) Juvenile crime- Causes The most common causes of juvenile crime and violence are use of drugs and alcohol, easy availability of weapons, a breakdown in the American family, growth of youth gangs, and leniency of juvenile courts. The greatest cause of juvenile crime is the lack of sense of responsibility amongst parents in monitoring and taking care of their children appropriately. Parents have less control over their children therefore they plunge themselves into a society with insufficient spiritual values. In such environment misleading information from the media, such as television, magazine, and the internet act as sources of acceptance instead of spiritual values. Sometimes urban environment anticipate ecstasy from young ones, due to curiosity young adults may engage in activities which are clearly against the law.Geographical analysis suggests that countries with more urbanized populations have higher registered crime rates than those with well rooted rural lifestyles and communities (Moser, K. 2006). The urban poor are overwhelmed by the high cost of living, financial problems, unstable jobs, insufficient educational opportunities, inadequate health and sanitation, and inadequate housing. People resort to crimes to alleviate or elude from their miseries. Deterioration of living conditions in urban areas has produced its share of juvenile delinquency and promotes those conditions that create perfect opportunities for negative juvenile social networks to form and commit crimes together. In Tarrant County where nearly one in five children lives in poverty and faces disparities in educational and other opportunities,there is fertile ground for the growth of juvenile crime. (Hart, T. FY21 Partners with a Shared Mission Page 20 of 42 Agreement between CFW&Comin'Up Gang Intervention Exhibit A 1998) PROGRAM ACTIVITIES AND OUTCOMES 2) Describe the direct target population the program/project will directly benefit. How many people? What definable population group (i.e. age, ethnicity, etc.)? What neighborhood(s)? In general, Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater Tarrant County (BGCGTC) serves youth in schools and community sites located in some of Tarrant County's most at-risk areas. The target population for Comin' Up is young men and women ages 13-24. Our neighborhoods are historically low-income, with low educational attainment,high unemployment rates,and associated high rates of illegal activity,including gangs and alcohol and other drugs. In 2019, the Club served 28,839 youth throughout our 26 branches in after-school and summer programming throughout Fort Worth and Arlington. According to membership data, 51% of Club members were male and 49%were female. Of these youth, 53%were African-American, 33%Hispanic, 6% Caucasian, and 8% multi-racial/other. The median household income for our members is $33,913,which means 35%of our member's families are living at or below poverty level. More than half of our members come from single-parent homes, and 78%qualify for the free or reduced lunch plan. Research has clearly shown that kids who grow up in poverty have fewer opportunities than their peers who live in-higher income areas, but those often boil down to not having opportunities to create meaningful relationships with adults. BGCGTC directly addresses this deficiency, offering judgment-free and caring relationships with kids that allow them to have a voice, a sense of belonging, and a way to build positive social networks. BGCGTC branches, school sites, prevention, and pre-college programs serve youth ages 6-18. The target population for Comin' Up is young men and women ages 13-24 who have been gang- involved or affiliated. The program goal is to serve 640 members a year (110 per site). Our sites are located in areas that are known for gang strong gang culture. We target Eastside,Northside,Diamond Hill,Near South Side, South Side and Poly. At least 75% of Comin' Up members have been detained or have a family member who has been detained. Youth in these areas are born into the culture of gang life and adopt the ideals and traditions of the gang without any real choice in the matter. Along with self-identified gang members, Comin' Up target's these young people who may not profess to be in a gang,but exhibit all the behaviors of a gang member based on family and friends affiliations. Comin' Up's outreach also includes early intervention programs for youth age 8-18 that live in areas where there has historically been high gang activity. These kids may be influenced by gang culture, and could ideally become members of a Boys&Girls Club. The program's goal is to reach 144 youth a month for a total of 1,728 per year. 3) Describe how your program/project addresses the causes of the problem area(s) and achieves the goals of CCPD. Cite relevant sources for evidence-based, evidence informed, or promising practice. Violent Crime—Causes Income inequality is a major source of aggression and violent crime in human society.

Safety of residents and/or youth -Causes In Fort Worth, it was reported in 2019 there were 30,042 annual crimes in total. BGCGTC serves youth in schools and community sites located in some of our most at-risk areas. Target neighborhoods are historically low- income, with low educational attainment, high unemployment rates, and associated high rates of illegal activity, including gangs and alcohol and other drugs.

Citydata.com cites Fort Worth's Crime index as 338,which is second only to Dallas in the North Texas area.

(Hart, T. 1998) 4) Describe your measurable program activities and how they address the causes you described in Question #1. Please include a description of measures and how your program will meet these goals. 1. Number of unduplicated program participants Program participants are members of the Comin' Up program who have agreed to follow all program rules and participate in all Comin' Up programming. Having consenting and willing members addresses each of the problems listed in the Problems and Causes section: a) violent crime, b) gang-related activities, c) safety of residents and/or youth, d) crime throughout Fort Worth neighborhoods, or e)juvenile crime. Having gang-involved young people aged 13-24 agree to participate in the Comin' Up program decreases the time that these at-risk teens and young adults are out in the streets of the city of Fort Worth. This in and of itself limits opportunities for violent crime, gang-related activities and juvenile crime. In turn, the safety of residents of Fort Worth increases. The safety of the program participants also increases as they are participating in programming located in a safe space. The number of unduplicated program participants are measured monthly based on the requirement of having a signed membership application on file that has been entered in Trax Solutions for digital tracking and reporting.Data results are also entered into the Comin Up' comprehensive report to report measurable performance against goals. 2. Number of unduplicated program participants enrolled in case management Case management provides a fundamental support to Comin' Up Program members to achieve short- and mid-term indicators and long-range outcomes. In addition to the normal programming activities,members enrolled in Case Management work with the Case Manager to develop an individualized service plan to help accomplish a specific goal that will lead to a positive life change. Case management services addresses each of the problems listed in the Problems and Causes section: a)violent crime,b) gang-related activities, c) safety of residents and/or youth, d) crime throughout Fort Worth neighborhoods, or e)juvenile crime. Case management is customized for each member to address his or her individual issues related to any of the many causes of violent crime, gang related activities, safety of residents and crime as income inequality is linked to all of the goals set out by CCPD. With individual service plans and frequent and consistent contact, case management staff work with Comin' Up members on a multitude of challenges including substance abuse, family issues, gang participation, or a crime record. Many of our members are of working age and may not have the necessary skills, documentation, or means required to search for, apply for, and obtain legal employment. Case FY21 Partners with a Shared Mission Page 23 of 42 Agreement between CFW&Comin'Up Gang Intervention Exhibit A management efforts and protocols are structured to produce successful interviews, timely follow ups with employers, and support upon hire to ensure that the member is successful on the job. This aspect of case management addresses the causes of violent crime, gang related activities, safety of residents,and crime as income inequality is linked to all of the goals set out by CCPD. Many of our members are on court-ordered probation or parole and case management is helpful to ensure that these members are compliant with court ordered conditions. Case Managers could conduct drug tests,check the home for weapons, and offer referral services for family related issues in order to help our members successfully complete probation or parole. Targeting the highest-need members with individualized service plans helps to ensure that members are receiving the support necessary to develop skills that assist with becoming self-sufficient,productive members of society. The more confident members are in their ability to become successful,the less likely they are to resort to a life of crime. The number of unduplicated program participants enrolled in case management is measured monthly based on the requirement of having the following on file: • Signed membership application on file that has been entered in Trax Solutions for digital tracking and reporting •Needs Assessment Form • Referral Form • Client Rights and Consent Form • Educational Release Form • Service Plan An unduplicated program participant enrolled in case management report is run in Trax Solutions and data results are entered into the Comin Up' comprehensive report to measure and document performance against goals. 3. Number of case management service units for participants enrolled in the case management prog am Case management provides fundamental support to Comin' Up Program members to achieve short- and mid-term indicators and long-range outcomes. In addition to the normal programming activities,members enrolled in Case Management work with the Case Manager to develop an individualized service plan to help accomplish a specific goal that will lead to a positive life change. Case management service units address each of the problems listed in the Problems and Causes section: a)violent crime,b) gang-related activities, c) safety of residents and/or youth, d) crime throughout Fort Worth neighborhoods, or e)juvenile crime. Frequent and consistent contact/support is important in the success of members who need this individualized attention to be successful. Service units documents the efforts made by the Case Manager and team when assisting members enrolled in Case Management. Having an extra set of eyes and accountability specific to a particular member helps with community supervision and parental support in situations, like the many we see, where the parent or guardian lacks the skills necessary to provide proper guidance. The number of case management service units for participants enrolled in the case management program are measured monthly based on the requirement of having a signed membership application on file and being enrolled in case management. A service unit report is run in Trax Solutions and data results are entered into the Comin Up' comprehensive report to measure and document performance against goals. 4. Number of inter-site activities Inter-site activities take place when members from one site collaborate and coordinate an event with another site at an agreed upon location. Inter-site activities address each of the problems listed in the Problems and Causes section: a) violent crime, b) gang-related activities, c) safety of residents and/or youth, d) crime FY21 Partners with a Shared Mission Page 24 of 42 Agreement between CFW&Comin'Up Gang Intervention Exhibit A throughout Fort Worth neighborhoods, or e)juvenile crime. One of the most consistent indicators of gang activity risk is the lack of healthy peer groups and social networks. Inter-site activities create opportunities for positive interactions between members from different gangs and areas of the city. Bringing these members together for recreation and special events allow staff to work with them in one safe space to peacefully resolve issues as they arise. The younger more impressionable members tend to look at the older members to take cues on how to behave. Having our older members in the room with a rival gang settling differences with staff models desired behavior for our younger, school-aged members. The formation of dangerous and negative social networks during adolescence in unstable low income areas is a cause of gang- related activity. While we can't stop these relationships from forming, we can influence these young people by bringing different and opposing networks together for recreational purposes. Intentionally creating social environments allow staff to able to mentor,teach,and train traditional rivals to challenge high-risk behaviors. Our sites are recognized as "Safe Zones," and all members know that metal detection wanding and bag searches will take place upon arrival and drugs and alcohol are not allowed. Inter-site activities address these causes of juvenile crime in this manner. During all inter-sites activities, members receive a meal or snack depending on the event design. Hungry members are more likely to commit crimes and also cause issues during programming. Feeding our members during inter-site activities addresses this cause of crime in Fort Worth neighborhoods. The numbers of inter-site activities for each site are measured monthly. Each inter-site activity can only be reported once per event and is credited to the site that hosted or organized the event. An inter-site report is run in Trax Solutions and data results are entered into the Comin Up' comprehensive report to measure and document performance against goals. Inter-site activities are also reported by the Site Director on the site monthly report and reviewed by the Comin' Up coordinator to cross reference for accuracy. 5. Number of pre-intervention workshops and mentoring sessions Pre-intervention workshops and mentoring sessions are conducted with non-member participants age 8-18 that are living in areas where there is a strong tradition and/or culture of gang involvement. Pre-Intervention workshops address the following problems: a) gang-related activities, b) safety of residents and/or youth, c) crime throughout Fort Worth neighborhoods, or d)juvenile crime. Topics for these sessions include personal safety, peer selection and peer pressure, gang definition and understanding, dangers of joining a gang, etc. These sessions are conducted throughout the city in schools, community centers, and Boys & Girls Club facilities. The sessions are customized to be age appropriate to help our youth stay safe by educating them on the dangers of gangs and gang-related activities. Many young people from unstable, low-income areas where there is a strong gang culture may not realize that their actions could be potentially dangerous if misinterpreted by a certain group of people. Hosting these pre- intervention workshops in our most at-risk areas help combat causes of crime in Fort Worth neighborhoods. A misunderstood or misguided non-gang member who has seen certain symbols, gestures, or words stated could easily misrepresent something that they have no real knowledge of. Facilitating these workshops helps keep our youth safe. These sessions are also used as recruitment tools. If during the session it is discovered that a participant is gang-involved they are eligible to become a member based on affiliation if they are within the required age range. The number of pre-intervention workshops for each site are measured monthly. Sign-in sheets are collected at the time of the workshop and reported by the Site Director on the monthly report. Data results are entered into the Comin Up' comprehensive report to measure and document performance against goals and reviewed by the Comin' Up coordinator to cross reference for accuracy and reporting. FY21 Partners with a Shared Mission Page 25 of 42 Agreement between CFW&Comin'Up Gang Intervention Exhibit A 6. Total unduplicated participants served. This measure would include all program members and participants serviced through nightly programming, outreach and early intervention groups. Total unduplicated participants served address all of the CCPD problem areas: a) violent crime, b) gang-related activities, c) safety of residents and/or youth, d) crime throughout Fort Worth neighborhoods, or e)juvenile crime. Participants and members are taught, trained and mentored. Comin' Up Staff members challenge high risk behaviors with healthy alternatives to address income inequality and racial inequality.Members are offered guidance and assistance to combat cultural,generational, and community specific values that are conducive to the typical causes of crime. Many members and participants are products of broken families that have little to no structure. Many of our members are users of drugs and alcohol. Members served through the Comin' Up Program are introduced to a structured, drug and alcohol-free program to help create new ways of coping and dealing with stress. An inability or lack of education around conflict resolution is a direct cause of violent crime. Total participants served also addresses the social needs of adolescents by providing a safe, positive social environment for young adult to get together. One of the main causes of gang related activities is the formation of unhealthy social networks in unstable environments. Comin' Up is able to address the social needs of these young adults while ensuring that no illegal activity is happening and positive empowering activities and conversations are taking place. Total participants served also addresses the causes of crime throughout Fort Worth neighborhoods. If members and participants are in our facilities,they are not in the community committing crimes. Boredom and hunger are also causes of crime in Fort Worth neighborhoods. Total members served during Comin' Up will address the need for interactive games and activities that are popular with 13-24 year old young men and women. According to Steinmetz, boredom is rife throughout crime and crime control that lurks in the periphery of excitement and engagement. Boredom is also a social condition that saturates the spaces between emotions, perceptions, experience, culture, and structure. Boredom represents a kind of emptiness we struggle to fill and creates opportunities for our imaginations to come alive and propels us toward other experiential possibilities such as crime. Boredom is thus described as an inseparable component of the dynamics of crime and crime control. (Steinmetz, K. F. et al 2017) Food insecurity is a significant problem in Fort Worth, and Comin' Up will also address the nutritional needs of participants and members by providing meals and snacks to ensure that hunger does not lead to more crime. Part of the reason that people of lower socioeconomic position behave and feel as they do is that they are relatively often hungry. The hunger hypothesis applies in particular to impulsivity-hyperactivity, irritability- aggression, anxiety, and persistent narcotic use, all of which have been found to show socioeconomic gradients and lead to crime. (Nettle, D. 2017) Outreach workers and other staff work to locate and assist those who need us the most. Membership and participation is not mandatory for any of our programming, but every young person we come in contact with is offered the same knowledge and access to opportunity. The goal with making each contact and serving these participants is to have a positive impact on the life of the participant, providing them with social, emotional, and educational support so they have the coping skills to deal with the common causes of crime. Each visitor to the program is offered the same programming as our members for up to three visits and then they must join to continue in the program. By building metrics around the unduplicated participants served,the program ideally has a positive impact on not only those participants,but other young people who may be within their sphere of influence. The number of total unduplicated participants served for each site is measured monthly by the Site Director on the monthly report. Documentation includes early intervention group sign in sheets, visitor sign in sheets, and program daily attendance rosters. Data results are entered into the Comin Up' comprehensive report to measure and document performance against goals and reviewed by the Comin' Up coordinator to cross reference for accuracy. FY21 Partners with a Shared Mission Page 26 of 42 Agreement between CFW&Comin'Up Gang Intervention Exhibit A 7. Number of program members attending needs based programming group sessions. The number of program members attending needs-based programming group sessions represents how many documented group sessions take place during nightly programming onsite. During these needs-based groups, high risk behaviors are addressed and challenged. These behaviors are countered with positive and legal alternatives to provide members with a different perspective. Income inequality is one of the main causes of violent crime that we attempt to address with need-based programming. Job readiness skills are introduced and an emphasis is placed on the importance of education in order to begin to combat income inequality. Formation of social networks in negative and unstable environments is a main cause for gang-related activities. During needs-based programming staff challenge high risk behaviors, such as forming a negative social network, and show healthy alternatives such as school-based teams, faith based groups, and community based organizations. By serving and conducting these groups in our most at-risk areas, we are aiming to help keep both residents and youth in the community safe. Needs-based programming is interactive and designed to be fun. Boredom and lacking resources are causes of crime in Fort Worth neighborhoods. Engaging with members and providing them with knowledge and resources are common practices during needs based programming. Juvenile crime is caused by usage of drugs and alcohol, breakdown of the family structure, growth in youth gangs and poverty. During needs based programming we address drug and alcohol usage long term effects, the importance of family and parenting, short and long-term consequences of gang activity and involvement, and combating poverty. Topics also include the importance and impact of higher education, job readiness, general life skills, personal responsibility, healthy living, sex education, financial responsibility, dating/domestic violence, and conflict resolution. Many of these topics influence the actions of our members to create new ways of coping and dealing with stressors of poverty, and lack of social, emotional, and educational support that are indicators of substance abuse and gang involvement. The number of program members attending needs-based programming group sessions is measured monthly by the Site Director on the monthly report. Documentation includes needs-based sign in sheets with the group/session topic and supporting documents needed to facilitate the group. The needs-based programming report is run in Trax Solutions and data results are entered into the Comin Up' comprehensive report to measure and document performance against goals. Data results are entered into the Comin Up' comprehensive report and reviewed by the Comin' Up coordinator to cross reference for accuracy. 8. Number of Community Service hours performed by program members The number of community service hours performed by program members represents the total number of community service hours performed throughout the year by Comin' Up members in the city of Fort Worth. Performing community service hours helps address the following problems: b)gang-related activities, c) safety of residents and/or youth, d) crime throughout Fort Worth neighborhoods, or e)juvenile crime. One of our biggest community service projects is our partnership with Fort Worth Graffiti Abatement. Our members help create murals out of illegally tagged buildings and structures. Other community service projects include Cowtown Clean up, grounds clean ups around Fort Worth, feeding the homeless and volunteering with senior living centers. These activities are designed to give members a valuable role in their community in efforts to show them that giving back is valuable and necessary. The more attached a member feels to the community, the less likely they are to commit crimes in the community. One of the causes of crime throughout Fort Worth neighborhoods is gang-related activity. We address gang-related activities by providing positive alternatives to directly offset the attraction of gang-related activity. Most of our graffiti projects are painting over a previously tagged building or structure. We also replace gang-related activities with meaningful activities such as feeding the homeless. This community service activity gives members who are living in poverty a different perspective to see others who are living on the streets. It also provides the members with motivation to do better for themselves, their family, and community. One of the causes of gang-related activities is the family traditional aspect of gang culture. Community service is a tradition that Comin' Up has developed in order to help create a FY21 Partners with a Shared Mission Page 27 of 42 Agreement between CFW&Comin'Up Gang Intervention Exhibit A culture of giving back to the community. We want our members to be personally responsible, participatory, and justice-oriented citizens. The number of community service hours performed by program members are measured monthly by the Site Director on the monthly report. Documentation includes community service sign in sheets with the project listed. The community service report is generated in Trax Solutions and data results are entered into the Comin Up' comprehensive report to measure and document performance against goals. Data results are entered into the Comin Up' comprehensive report and reviewed by the Comin' Up coordinator to cross reference for accuracy. 5) Describe your measurable program outcomes and how they affect the problem area(s) described in Question#1. Please include a description of your evaluation methods. We structure all Comin' Up activities with low arrest rate, life changes, and reshaping perceptions identified and defined as the desired outcomes. Our goal is to ensure that 20% of program participants make positive life changes. Life changes are indicators of significant positive change that mark the participants'progress. Most life changes are centered around education, as one's education level is often paramount to future success. Other life changes are focused on changing criminal behaviors and gaining legal employment. Member perception surveys are designed for staff to be able to get a sense of what the members are feeling in order to know what areas of focus need to be targeted for needs based programming. Targeted topics for needs based programming include education, legal employment, job readiness, community service, handling conflict, healthy living, being a leader, decision making and peer influence. Knowing how members are feeling regarding these topics will influence how we interact with them as we attempt to influence them and create new norms and healthy habits. The goal is to influence their perception in order to begin change talk. The ultimate goal is for this change talk to translate into action and result in life changing behaviors that are less risky. By focusing on education, legal employment, job readiness, community service, handling conflict, healthy living, leadership, decision making and peer influence, our goal is to provide alternatives to the behaviors that would lead to crime. Having our members accomplish any of the nine life changes is celebrated and indicates that he or she has made a significant effort to change for the better. Positive life change outcomes are as follows: Grade Progression (school records obtained) Advancing from one grade level to the next is a challenge for members who live in poverty. Daily obstacles are intensified, and learning can be difficult while trying to survive. Our members live in neighborhoods that are historically low-income and unstable, with low educational attainment. Motivating and helping members place an added emphasis on the value of education is a daunting task as they live in the moment. Income inequality is a direct cause of violent crime. Low educational attainment is one of the many causes of income inequality. Helping members progress from one grade to the next is considered life changing as we help cultivate the value of education, which is an indicator of long-term success and can help reduce levels of violent, juvenile, and neighborhood crime. Enlistment into the Armed Forces (Enlistment records obtained) Enlistment into the Armed Forces is a life change that requires a significant amount of commitment and dedication. It requires that a young person graduate from high school and this is no easy feat when living in neighborhoods that are historically low-income and unstable, with low educational attainment and high drop-out rates. Income inequality is a direct cause of violent crime. Low educational attainment is one of the many causes of income inequality. Member progression from one grade to the next and actual completion of high school in order to enlist into the armed forces is considered life changing. Again, this helps cultivate the value of education as it is an indicator of long-term success and can help reduce levels of crime. Enlistment also serves to help decrease violent crime by addressing racial inequality associated with generational lack of knowledge and FY21 Partners with a Shared Mission Page 28 of 42 Agreement between CFW&Comin'Up Gang Intervention Exhibit A resources. These members are able to transfer new knowledge to younger members of the community and uplift others, which in turn decreases the instigators and causes of crime. First-year soldiers with a high school diploma make just under $20,000 per year, which immediately takes them to a position above the poverty line (based on a family of two is $16,910 according to 2019 Federal Guidelines). Addressing poverty, which is a cause of crime, is achieved with enlistment in the armed forces. Graduating high school (HS diploma obtained) Completing high school is a challenge for members who live in poverty. Daily obstacles are intensified, and learning can be difficult while trying to survive. Our members live in neighborhoods that are historically low- income and unstable,with low educational attainment. Motivating and helping members place an added emphasis on the value of education is a daunting task, as they live in the moment. Income inequality is a direct cause of violent crime. Low educational attainment is one of the many causes of income inequality. Helping members progress and graduate from high school is life changing, as we help cultivate the value of education and increased ability to seek legal employment which are indicators of long-term success and can help reduce levels of crime. National statistics show that 95% of hard core gang members are high school drop outs. ("Dropouts." California State University,Northridge. CSUN.edu.n.d.Web. 17 October,2013.)Encouraging our members to push towards obtaining a HS diploma will affect the amount of gang related activity by ensuring that the members have the proper credentials to enter the legal job market with the high school diploma. Completion of a semester of college(school records obtained) Encouraging our members to pursue post-secondary education in order to increase their chances of success is important as income inequality is a direct cause of violent crime. Low educational attainment is one of the many causes of income inequality. College graduates aged 25 to 32 earn $17,000 more each year than those without a college degree. Helping members progress and eventually graduate from college is life changing, as we help cultivate the value of education, which is an indicator of long-term success and can help reduce levels of violent and neighborhood crime. Completion of vocational or job training (certificate of completion obtained) Completion of vocational or job training is a challenge for members who live in poverty. Daily obstacles are intensified, and learning can be difficult while trying to survive. Our members live in neighborhoods that are historically low-income and unstable, with low educational attainment. Motivating and helping members place an added emphasis on the value of vocational or job training beyond that of a High School Equivalency diploma is a daunting task as they live in the moment. Encouraging our members to pursue a vocation or job trade in order to increase their chances of success is important as income inequality is a direct cause of violent crime. Helping members progress through high school or GED courses and eventually complete a vocation or trade is life changing, as we help cultivate the value of education, which is an indicator of long-term success and can help reduce levels of gang related activity, violent crime, and neighborhood crime. Completion of 90 days employment (pay stub/signed document from manager obtained) Completing 90 consecutive days of employment at one job is a challenge for members who live in poverty and may lack the necessary skills required to maintain employment. Daily obstacles are intensified, and staying employed can be difficult while trying to survive and deal with issues as they arise. Our members live in neighborhoods that are historically low-income and unstable, with low educational attainment. Motivating and helping members place an added emphasis on the value of staying on a job for at least 90 days is a daunting task as they live in the moment. The first 90 days on the job are crucial. Most companies have a 90-day evaluation period in order to make sure the fit is good. This period is a chance for our members to learn and to demonstrate that they can have an impact on the company. Encouraging and coaching our members during the first 90 days increases their chances of success and is important as income inequality is a direct cause of violent crime and FY21 Partners with a Shared Mission Page 29 of 42 Agreement between CFW&Comin'Up Gang Intervention Exhibit A neighborhood safety. Helping members successfully complete 90 days on a job is crucial, as we help cultivate the value of legal employment, which is an indicator of long-term success and can help reduce levels of juvenile and neighborhood crime. Returning to school (school records obtained) Staying in school is a challenge for members who live in poverty. Daily obstacles are intensified and learning can be difficult while trying to survive. Education is not seen as a priority when basic needs, such as food and shelter, aren't being met. Education also is devalued when members are drawn to the allure of making money via criminal, gang-related activities usually involving the sale of narcotics. Our members live in neighborhoods that are historically low-income and unstable, with low educational attainment. Motivating and helping members place an added emphasis on the value of education is a daunting task as they live in the moment. Income inequality is a direct cause of violent crime. Low educational attainment is one of the many causes of income inequality. Helping members who had previously dropped out,or were expelled from school,returning to school is considered life changing as we help cultivate the value of education which is an indicator of long-term success and can help reduce levels of gang related activities, neighborhood crime,juvenile crime, and violent crime. Obtaining a GED/High School equivalency(GED/HiSET records obtained) Obtaining a GED/High School equivalency certification is a challenge for members who have dropped out of school and live in poverty.Daily obstacles are intensified and making a commitment to attend GED prep classes can be difficult while trying to survive. Education is not seen as a priority when basic needs, such as food and shelter, are your main responsibilities. Our members live in neighborhoods that are historically low-income and unstable,with low educational attainment. Motivating and helping members place an added emphasis on the value of education is a daunting task as they live in the moment and are now responsible for providing for themselves and/or the family. Income inequality is a direct cause of violent crime. Low educational attainment is one of the many causes of income inequality. Helping members who had previously dropped out obtain a GED/High School equivalent certification is considered life changing as we help cultivate the value of education which is an indicator of long-term success and can help reduce levels of gang related activities, neighborhood crime, juvenile crime, and violent crime. Completion of juvenile or adult probation (Exit documents obtained) Completing juvenile or adult probation is a challenge for some of our members who don't possess the necessary tools required to be able to comply with the conditions and rules set by the courts. Completing probation is no easy feat when living in neighborhoods that are historically low-income and unstable, with high crime and poverty. Helping a member obtain the skills and restraint necessary to successfully complete probation is life- changing and gives the member the opportunity to avoid incarceration. Criminal behaviors associated with non- compliance are avoided and members engage in behavior that does not result in an arrest.As a result of not getting arrested, members are able to explore positive and productive alternatives such as obtaining employment and furthering education. We are then able to help cultivate the value of education which is an indicator of long-term success and can help reduce levels of crime. An additional outcome we target is that, on annual basis, 95% of program members will not engage in behavior that results in an arrest. A local PD database is utilized to document arrests. If we can create a positive distraction that encourages our members to not engage in behaviors that would lead to an arrest, this will in turn reduce the overall crime rate in the city of Fort Worth. The more time the members are engaged with our programming options, the less time they have to commit crimes. Consequently this outcome addresses violent crime, gang related activity, neighborhood safety, neighborhood crime, and juvenile crime. 6) Describe how your program addresses the CCPD special emphasis priority: literacy instruction/skills specifically for children ages 0-9? FY21 Partners with a Shared Mission Page 30 of 42 Agreement between CFW&Comin'Up Gang Intervention Exhibit A The targeted age group for Comin' Up program membership is 13 — 24 years old. During our early intervention groups we are asked to speak with children as young as 8 years old, but this time is mostly spent focusing on the importance of choosing positive peers as friends and learning how to avoid potentially unfavorable situations. 7) Describe what makes your program unique. Include descriptions of how it compares with similar programming offered in the area. If applicable, describe how your program/project integrates City of Fort Worth programming or personnel, improves existing City of Fort Worth projects/programming, or is directly involved with City of Fort Worth efforts to achieve Annual Report Strategic Goals. There are no other programs in this area that specifically target gang-involved members in the city. At 13- 24 years old, the participants we serve cover a wide age range, so we provide early services to the young gang involved members and also capture and recover those young people who are starting to mature into adults with no positive direction or influence. Having the unique ability to provide services to young adults aged 18-24 gives us the ability to capture recent drop-outs and assist them with obtaining a high school diploma equivalent degree and hopefully encourage them to pursue a career outside of the gang life. A program that is somewhat similar is FW@6 which offers evening hour programming for youth. There is no gang focus,but instead offer youth sports and extended hours for older youth and young adults. The primary focus is on offering "enrichment and recreational activities to area youth, providing them with educational and personal development, employment readiness, life skills and a sense of community pride and responsibility." We have collaborated with FW@6 and held intersite activities with them. While we also assist with personal development, life skills, and employment readiness through our needs-based programming, we are able to offer more in-house services due to the current infrastructure of the Boys&Girls Clubs of Greater Tarrant County. The important and impactful services we offer include professional counseling, GED/HiSET preparation courses, and individualized case management services. We are also unique in that we have Outreach Specialists, who in many cases, are from the neighborhoods they serve and have strong community ties. The Outreach Specialist is instrumental in the addressing issues as they are realized and tensions rise between gangs. We also work very closely with another Fort Worth City Initiative— Project Safe Neighborhood (PSN). The two targeted areas for PSN are Stop 6 and Las Vegas Trail. We have a location in Stop 6 and are hoping to expand into Las Vegas Trail very soon with the opening of a Boys and Girls Club facility in that neighborhood. 8) Describe: a. how long it has been in operation, b. how it is currently financially sustained, and c. why CCPD funds are necessary at this time. Comin' Up has been an important resource for this community for 26 years, having first been established in 1994. Boys &Girls Clubs of Greater Tarrant County relies on funding from the Crime Control and Prevention District to offset all Comin' Up expenses. There continues to be a demonstrated need in Fort Worth, and in particular in the areas we serve, for the services provided by Comin' Up. CCPD funds are more necessary now than ever before. The impact of COVID-19 and the Coronavirus to the local economy, the ability of individuals and businesses to support philanthropic and community organizations is unknown, and will more than likely decline significantly in 2020 and 2021 as we recover. CCPD funding solidifies our ability to support efforts to increase the safety of youth and reduce juvenile crime through our prevention and intervention programming.

DISCUSSION: The purpose of this Mayor and Council Communication is to authorize a contract with the Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater Tarrant County, Inc. for the continued support and services of the Comin' Up Gang Intervention Program (Comin' Up). Comin' Up was established in 1994 in order to reduce gang- related violence by diverting gang members into programs and services to help youth avoid negative and destructive behaviors. Comin' Up provides intervention services to gang-involved youth between the ages of 13 and 24. The Boys and Girls Clubs of Greater Tarrant County, Inc. operates Comin' Up at six sites, including Diamond Hill, Hillside, Near Southside (Panther), Northside, Poly, and Stop Six. These Comin' Up sites serve approximately 680 youth nightly Monday through Friday. Program staff provides information and referral services, works directly with gang leaders to assist with conflict resolution, and provides crisis intervention to diffuse potentially troubling or violent situations, which has helped staff successfully develop truces between rival gangs. The Crime Control and Prevention District Fund Fiscal Year 2021 budget appropriates the amount of $1,537,952.50. This agreement will be effective October 1, 2020, and will end on September 30, 2021. This program serves COUNCIL DISTRICTS 2, 5, 8 and 9. FISCAL INFORMATION/CERTIFICATION: The Director of Finance certifies that funds will be available contingent on the approval of the Fiscal Year 2021 operating budget appropriation in the General Fund and the Crime Control & Prev Distr Fund. Funding is anticipated to be available shortly after October 1, 2020. Prior to any expenditure being incurred, the Police Department has the responsibility to validate the availability of funds.
