BACKGROUND AND ANALYSIS
The City of South Miami has been awarded $25,000 for the provision of social/crime prevention
services from August 1,2000 to July 31,2001.This award,along with the Grant received from
the Department of Juvenile Justice will allow the City to enhance and augment greatly the
existing PARE (Prevention through Academic and Recreational Excellence)Program.
Some of the benefits forthe community derived from the awards notedaboveare individual and
family counseling through a qualified Master Counselor/Social Worker,expansion of the After
Care Program at Murray Park,as well as the after school tutoring/instruction and mentoring at
the After School House,the services ofa full-time Education Specialist,Recreation Specialist,
and the services ofa part-time Humanities Specialist and three Education/Recreation Leaders.
With the creation of these positions and the hiring ofa PARE Program Director,also funded by
these grants,we have been able to give the program the strength,means and impetus it requires
to help our community help itself.It will provide an avenue and opportunity for our youth to
express themselves in a positive manner thereby attaining a level of self-growth and
development andthe self-confidence necessary to remain in school.
Authorization to execute the grant contract is required to continue.
