How To Carry out Solution To Correct Problem: Answer: Programs That Work First we need to evaluate each neighborhood and ask ourselves Why? , What? , How? * Why are our neighborhoods in the condition that they are? * What happen over the years that caused the problems and what can we do to help correct the problems? * How can we help others help themselves by raising the standards of our future generations and correct the problems of our now generation? We Must Gain Trust * We Must Show We Care We provide Emergency Assistance (to include a food bank) to low or no income individuals and families, to include the disabled and elderly. If funds are not available, we refer them to agencies that can help. In this process we evaluate why do they need the assistance, what caused the need and how can we help so that the need does not happen again. (Many agencies provide assistance but do not train to correct the problem.) We also deliver the food to those who have no transportation. Implementing Crime Watch and Clean-Up programs in the neighborhoods by training people to take pride and realize that this is their neighborhood. By working together as a team, crime and other problems can be eliminated. Showing we care, by setting up programs to teach the youth and adults about diseases, sex abstinence, sex abuse, protection, child care and drug prevention. Teaching youth and adults to be street smart and how to handle peer-pressure and stress. Two true sayings: RAn Idle Mind Is The Devils WorkshopS RAnd A Child Shall Lead ThemS The Youth - A Valuable RKeyS By training our youth and providing a fun, drug-free, gang-free, Christian atmosphere (such as YMCA ) we provide our youth with the means of becoming Neighborhood Leaders and role models for their peers and their own families. First we contact the youth that are already leaders and high achievers in academics and sports. We get them involved in what we are achieving. ( Most youth listen to their peers rather than adults) We train them in helping us achieve the Goal. * After School Tutoring * Saturday Tutoring Youth Helping Youth - High Schools Students tutoring Middle School Students tutoring Elementary Students and so on.
