Since the program began in 1995, between twenty to

job training, counseling, violence prevention, 
recreation, cultural arts, child care, 
after-school/summer programs, community/economic 
development, education, employment assistance/job 
training, family support, HIV/AID (treatment, 
prevention, education), mentoring, recreation, 
school-based initiatives, substance abuse prevention, 
and youth development for disadvantaged children, 
youth, and families.

To be eligible for consideration, an applicant must be
