such as behavIOr. academics and/or attendance. All enrolled students and families,
residing/attending a school in 78415 or designated site will have access to safe and structured
after school programs. Services are offered at the school sites which provide a safe environment
where youth can leam and play and serve as infom1atlon/resource centers for other programs and

The 111cntoring component involves the pairing of mentors and youth provides a safe friendly,
introduction of positive values and attitudes. It strengthens family involvement and encourages
acceptance and change. Mentors have the opportunity to contribute to the growth and
enhancement of familIes withm the community. Volunteer mentors make an impact by
provldmg time, guidance, and a positive influence. The accomplishment of these objectives is
reintorced through the CIS Model. Mentoring orientation, training, recruitment, workshops, and
crimmal background checks are coordinated in order to protect the children of 78415. CIS
contmues to recruit and train mentors for the youth of the 78415 area. By involving individuals
and husll1esses. these organizatIons become part of the solution to community issues.
The activities component provides a safe and neutral environment for students to express
themselves through play and social mteraction. Case managers will develop a flexible
campus plan that provides a tentative schedule of all activities. Campus plans outline, assess
and address the needs of the school site. Sports. arts, workshops, and community projects
inspire children to stay n school, build self-esteem. and prepare for life, and above all help
them stay off thc streets. Coordinated activities are geared towards enriching knowledge,
personal growth. and enhancing family life. Elementary school sites will have activities
during after school. Participation is \oluntary reqUIring a CYD registration form signed by
the parent or guardian.

clinics of organized sports. such as basketball and softball; arts & crafts, mind enhancing

completed by a teacher or parent/guardian. Outcome 2: 50% of activity students will show
impronment in behavior at the end of their participation in the program.
CIS!C'{D continues to be part ofthe force that has been successful in implementing specific
strategIes that reduce or prevent the impact of juvenile crime in the 78415 zip code area. CIS
rightfully shares in the success achieved as a result of the progranls implemented to empower
the youth of 78415 CIS/CYD 1I1 FY 2005-2006 will continue to provide an alternative to
gangs, \ iolence. and issues facing our youth, resulting in positive behavior and social
changes CIS case management IS based on a six-model system. At-risk students
recommended for case rnanagement is assessed and a comprehensive, individualized plan of
action IS developed, A parent consent form is sent home, signed and returned to inform the
parent/guardian of the youth's partiCIpation in case management. These students will receive
one-on-one supporti ve guidance to make healthy decisions and to promote goal setting. The
CIS six component model gives structure and direction to our program.

() How services wlll be available to youth and/or families without transportation: CIS has site-
based programs at the school sites, However, if off site activities occur, Corpus Christi
Independent School District (CCISD) buses are utilized through an agreement.
g) "Safe passage" plan for youth and/or families without transportation: Since CIS/CYD is site
based, students are already at the schools we serve, therefore, transportation is not a factor. CIS
has a long-standing relationship and partnership with the CCISD Transportation Department. An
agreement has been established to coordinate transportation for field trips during the school year
and summer programs. CIS has obtained insurance to cover the students participating in our
program During atter school programs, students walk home, with parent permission, or the
recrcatJOnalleaders watch over students until parents pick them up. The safety ofthe youth is of
the utmost importance.
')) Population to be servedby the program: Since its inception in Corpus Christi, Communities In
Schools has worked with youth and families with the demographics, social needs, economic
limitation, and cultural diversity as the population in the 78415 zip code. Please refer to the
follow1l1g for ethnic di\ersity on the campuses serviced by the ClS/CYD staff. The CIS/CYD
staff is expenenced with the dlversity and needs of the targeted populations. The staff has
already established tenure with our agency and is very familiar with our students and families.
The statistical infonnatlon obtamed from the Texas Education Agency (TEA) shows that the
number of students categorized as economically disadvantaged has increased over the past two
years
