2 Project Summary: In 200 words or less, briefly describe the problem, the goal, the approach and the results or benefits expected from this project. The Boy’s Council of Dover is based on the OJJDP model program “Girl’s Circle”. While structured like the Girl’s Circle, Boy’s Council will give boys the opportunity to use music and the performing arts as a form of communicating their thoughts and goals, while practicing and improving grammar and writing skills. Using music based activities; the boys will learn how to identify social-emotional messages, relate experiences and attitudes, and discover alternative ways to become more productive citizens and role models within their communities. Boy’s Council will also serve as an outlet to address unproductive and inappropriate behaviors much may lead to unhealthy decisions and behaviors. The Boy’s Council of Dover will provide a safe positive environment for 25 -30 boys between the aged, 12–18 years. The program proposes to reduce aggressive conduct/behaviors with peers by 5%, alcohol, drug use and delinquency among boys by 5%, gang involvement by 10%, and disproportionate minority contact (DMC) among boys by 5%. The Boy’s Council of Dover program will be offered in one session, corresponding with the public school’s summer school for 10 weeks in the summer time.

10 Project Narrative A. The Problem: In this section, the problem which this project is intended to address should be described and defined. Accurate problem definition is essential because the application can only be reviewed and evaluated according to the problem it purports to resolve. Describe the problem in a manner which offers the potential to observe and measure its dimensions before, during and after the project activity. At a minimum this section should: (l) Describe the nature and cause of the problem, target groups or organizations affected and/or benefited, and what the project will demonstrate or achieve. (2) Provide supporting facts and figures which describe the extent of the problem. (3) Indicate how the problem relates to the goal or program for which funds are sought. The problem centers around a continued increase of teen pregnancy, alcohol and drug use, delinquency, and gang involvement among young girls within the Greater Dover area. While these issues affect girls across all racial and ethnic lines, the largest group is young African American males. Without outlets, our young boys are continually falling prey to peer pressure in an attempt to gain acceptance which is leading them into these unhealthy and unsafe behaviors. In looking at data from the 2005 Alcohol, Tobacco, & other Drug Abuse among Delaware Students (2005 ATODDS), prepared by the Center for Drug & Alcohol Studies, University of Delaware it presents a disturbing picture of substance abuse use for Capital School District students as indicated by an increase in reports per month of alcohol, tobacco, and drug use from 5th to 11 grades. From 5th to 8th grade, reported alcohol use increased nearly 12% while cigarette use increase 9% and marijuana use increase 13%. Concurrently, the percentage of students who perceive great risk of harm associated with using these drugs decreased greatly. While reported substance use increased less dramatically between grades 8 and 11, the increases are nonetheless alarming. The 2005 ATODDS also presents disturbing data with respect to violence and school safety for Capital School District students. For instance, 66% of the 5th-graders responded yes to the statement, “Fighting is a problem in this school”, while 25% responded yes to the statements, “I’ve been in a fight at school this year”. Similarly, 53% of the 8th graders and 49% of the 11th graders responded “some of the time” or more often” to the statement, “School violence is a problem at this school. According to State of Delaware Juvenile Crime Analysis Based on 2005 Crime Data, the number of juvenile arrests in Kent County in 2005 decreased by 7.3% from the 2004 total. The average arrest total for the period from 1997 to 2001 was 1,631 while the average from 2002 through 2005 was 1,609, a decrease of 1.3%. The arrest rate for Kent County, in 2005, was 93 per 1,000 juveniles. The percentage of Delaware’s 10-17 year olds living in Kent County in 2005 was 18.2%, the percentage of juvenile arrests was 22.3%. (See table on next page.) 1. Boy’s Council of Dover will rely on the relational-cultural theory which suggests that growth-fostering relationships are a central human necessity and that disconnections are the source of psychological problems. The theory views a boy’s connections with others as a central organizing feature in his psychological makeup. The quality of these connections determines his overall psychological health, self-image, and relationships. Within this theoretical framework, The Boy’s Council of Dover aims not only to reduce the risk factors for delinquent behavior, drug use, and teen pregnancy but also to increase protective factors for resiliency against difficult situations. 2. Boy’s Council of Dover will target schools, churches, and other community organizations for outreach. Involvement will be voluntary, but by reaching out to the local community we expect involvement will be high. Currently, the City of Dover lacks any programs designed to assist our young men in positive development. 3. The City of Dover will contract with Aid In Dover, Inc., to operate the Boy’s Council of Dover. Since 1974, Aid In Dover, Inc., has been serving “at-risk” youth within Kent County. Based on the experience of Aid In Dover, Inc., they believe that the Boy’s Council of Dover will change the beliefs and behaviors of boys within our community by building positive influences in the boys’ lives through two (2) weekly group sessions for ten weeks during the summer focusing on the lives and issues of the boys in our community.
