DUE TO THE LARGE VISIBILITY OF OUR GROWING AFTER SCHOOL PRESENCE, OUR OTHER PROGRAMS ALSO GREW AND BEGAN TO WORK IN TANDEM FOR THE BETTERMENT OF OUR MEMBERS. IN FACT, WE FOUND THAT BY GROWING OUR AFTER-SCHOOL PROGRAM WE KNOW WERE ABLE TO TOUCH KIDS MORE CONSISTENTLY AND FREQUENTLY WITH BETTER RESULTS. FOR EXAMPLE, IF A STUDENT WAS ENROLLED IN AFTER SCHOOL, WE ENCOURAGED THEM TO ALSO ENROLL IN OUR REC PROGRAMS WITH PRACTICES, GAMES, AND AFTERSCHOOL. WE BEGAN MENTORING KIDS WITH THE VOLUNTEER HELP OF POLICE AND COMMUNITY LEADERS 3-5 TIMES A WEEK. WE WORKED CLOSELY WITH TEACHERS. SUMMER CAMPWE ALSO SIGNIFICANTLY INCREASED OUR PROGRAM OFFERINGS IN THE SUMMER BY PARTNERING TO OFFER A NEW END OF SUMMER CAMP EXPERIENCE FOR KIDS DESIGNATED AT RISK OR ON THE BRINK TO HELP PREPARE THEM FOR SCHOOL AND TO START THE SCHOOL YEAR OFF WELL. THIS DYNAMIC SUMMER PROGRAMMING KEPT THE KIDS ENGAGED AND FOCUSED FOR THE SCHOOL YEAR AHEAD. MANY WERE VERY SUCCESSFUL IN TRANSITIONING THE LEARNING FROM THE SUMMER TO THE SCHOOL YEAR. WE ALSO SAW INCREASED ENROLLMENTS IN OUR PROGRAMS AS A RESULT OF THEIR CONNECTIONS TO PAL FROM THE SUMMER. OUR COLLEGE BOUND/EDUCATION FIRST PROGRAMMING--WHICH BRINGS LOW INCOME AND DIVERSE ETHNIC, FIRST GENERATION KIDS TO AREA COLLEGES FOR TOURS AND PROGRAMMING, ALSO SAW AN EXPANSION OF SERVICES AND TRIPS. WE ACTIVELY BEGAN PARTNERING OUR SERVICES TO OTHER TOWN HIGH SCHOOLS IN OUR REGION TO OFFER THESE TRIPS WITH GREAT SUCCESS.

(PAL) IS A 501(C)3 WHOSE MISSION IS TO DETER VIOLENCE & ENCOURAGE OVER 1,000 KIDS TO STAY IN SCHOOL THROUGH POSITIVE AFTER SCHOOL AND RECREATIONAL PROGRAMMING IN PARTNERSHIP WITH LAW ENFORCEMENT, EDUCATORS, AND COMMUNITY BUSINESS LEADERS. BY FORMING STRONG RELATIONSHIPS WITH THESE COMMUNITY LEADERS AND ENHANCING COMMUNICATION WITH POLICE, WE HAVE FOUND STRONGER INCREASED ATTACHMENT TO THE COMMUNITY FOR THESE CHILDREN AND THEIR FAMILIES WHO BECAUSE OF ETHNICITY OR INCOME HAVE NOT PREVIOUSLY SELF-IDENTIFIED AS SUCH. OUR PROGRAM IS SUCCESSFUL BECAUSE OUR OFFICERS AND COMMUNITY LEADERS ACT AS GREAT ROLE MODELS TO OUR PAL MEMBERS AS WELL AS BEACONS OF HOPE FOR KIDS WHO MAY NOT HAVE THOUGHT HIGHER EDUCATION IN OUR COMMUNITY WAS POSSIBLE OR THAT HAVING A CAREER IN OUR COMMUNITY WAS POSSIBLE FOR THEM. WE HIGHLIGHT ESPECIALLY BUSINESS LEADERS WHO HAVE LIVED, HAVE BEEN EDUCATED IN & HAVE WORKED IN OUR TOWN MOST OF THEIR LIVES. WE TAKE FIELD TRIPS WITH THE KIDS TO SHOW THEM LOCAL COMPANIES AND BUSINESSES TO TEACH THE KIDS ABOUT DIFFERENT CAREERS AND TO BRING AWARENESS TO WHAT IS PRESENT AND POSSIBLE IN OUR SMALL TOWN. WE ALSO BRING THESE EVERYDAY HEROES (THESE COMMUNITY LEADERS, POLICE OFFICERS AND EDUCATORS) INTO OUR PROGRAMS TO TALK ABOUT LIFE SKILLS LIKE FINANCE, VALUES, MILITARY SERVICE AND GIVING BACK TO THE COMMUNITY TO CHALLENGE AND INSPIRE OUR MEMBERS. WE BELIEVE STRONGLY IN OUR MISSION THAT BY PROVIDING THESE PROGRAMS AND WORKING WITH OVER A QUARTER OF OUR SCHOOL SYSTEM, WE CAN SEED THE FUTURE OF OUR AREA OF NORTHWEST CONNECTICUT FOR THE BETTER.
