This program offers a place that the youth can come so that they will not be out in the streets getting into trouble like commenting crimes, Decoding teenage parent's, Ana at ten very worst losing tenet Tie over something that is not worth it.It is very important that we have a place so that ill have somewhere they can go for advice of help if they do not feel comfortable talking to their parent's at least they will have another adult they can turn to and trust and get some positive feedback. After school no one really knows what it is like in the homes of some of the youth come from.

They will know how to conduct themselves in an interview and have the skills already to handle the basic needs that may be required. Another major area that the program will focus on is the importance of health.At least once a month there will be at least one volunteer from the health department to come out and educate the youth about the dangers and risk of being unhealthy and not taking care of themselves. During these meetings the youth will be allowed to ask question ND receive packets of useful information.

Method Used Most of the research for this new program was done on the internet and a few phone calls to different organization. The main organization that the most research was done was the Parks and Recreation. Some other places that were considered when this research was conducted were the local Boys and Girls Club and the YMCA. The reason that the research was done on these particular organization was because they are the most similar to the program that "Because You Matter" is most like.This way there will be a place to start and see what ideas have been tried, the ones that worked and were very successful, and the ones that did not turn out so great.
By making contact with these organizations there would actually be a place to start from as far as how to get up and running and if the ideas of the program are good or if they need more working in order to be a realistic program. Another area that search was done was to Juvenile system to see what crime was commonly committed by most youth. Below is a bar chart to show the most common and the percent.All of the organizations that research where was conducted all were very similar in the type and the mission.
They all offered much of the same activities for the different age groups. One of the main things that they all offered was the different sports programs. This seemed to be the most popular choice of all things since sports is what grabs the attention of most of the youth. Not only did they all have ports but they had different mentoring programs in which the youth could pair up with an adult or even their peers.
This I found to be very helpful as well so that there is always someone available to talk to at all times no matter what the circumstances by be. Along with these activities they also did some health promotions as well as offering tutoring. One major difference that was recognized while doing the research was that in each of the programs that youth had to travel to the facilities.

This makes it for easy access so that at all times the program is accessible to all the youth that want to participate. Another that that makes "Because You Matter" a good program is the fact that it is open each day after school as well as all day long on Saturday. The other organizations do not offer something each and every day for the youth to come and partake in positive reductive activities. Because You Matter" is geared to make sure that if the youth have free time it can be spent in a positive and safe place where on the other hand many of the other organization or focused on how the youth only spends their time on the weekend. There should never be time in which the youth has not where to go or have something to do in order to keep out of trouble.
"Because You Matter" is truly an outreach to the community since we are bringing the programs into the community where the youth are located reaching out to get them involved in a life changing program.
