DEPUTY COMPTROLLER Mr. Henry Bowden City Attorney City of Atlanta Atlanta, Georgia Dear Mr. Bowden: The Atlanta Children and Youth Service Council was established by the Board of Aldermen by an Ordinance adopted on February 9, 1966. It was initially called the Atlanta Youth Council. By an Ordinance adopted on June 5, 1967, certain changes were made including the change of the name. A question has arisen as to the exact powers of the organization as now created. The case in point is an application for federal funds to undertake a project. The project will require a grant agreement with the federal government. Our question is whether or not the Atlanta Children and Youth Services Council, as now organized, has the power to contract in this fashion. It should be emphasized that they propose to enter into the contract in their own name, not as the City of Atlanta. I will very much appreciate your opinion on this as soon as it is convenient for you. We have a contract pending which will be held in abeyance until we receive your advice on this point.

SWEAT, JR ., Director of Governmental Liaison MEMORANDUM T ·o: Mayor I van Allen, Jr. From: Subject: Dan Sweat ~ City of Atlanta participation in federal programs to combat crime and delin quency The Omnibus Crime C ontrol and Safe Streets Act an d the Juvenile Delinquency Prevention and Control Act of 1968 are two recently enacted federal g rant-in-aid statutes whic h offer real promise of assistance to the City of Atlanta. With the emphasis on law and order in the platforms of the national political parties, it is evident that full funding of these acts a s w ell as additional federal tools in this area will be forthcoming. In order to fully participate, it will be necessary for the City of Atlanta to develop comprehensive and realistic plans for training, research and operational planning for riot prevention and control. There is also demonstration money which might b e used very effectively if we have the means to use it. The attached p ro posal which w ould reorganize the Atlanta Childr en and Yo uth Services Council illustrates the need for some car eful consideration of Atlanta's immediate and future needs in the planning and development of programs to prevent and combat crime and delinquency. In view of this, the following points are suggested: 1. No action be taken at this time on the proposed amendments to the resolution creating the Atlanta Children and Youth Services Council. �Mayor Allen Page Two August 26 , 1968 2. Serious consideration be given to merging the Atlanta Children and Youth Services Council with the Metropolitan Atlanta Cornrnission on Crime and Delinquency. The ACYSC might be the youth or delinquency arm of the Crime Commission. 3. The Crime G_ommission be designated as our planning agency for the Omnibus Crime Control and Safe Streets Act and the Juvenile Delinquency Act. 4. Whatever the organizational structure, the Youth and Juvenile Delinquency programs should provide for the involvement of young people in the planning and execution of the program. The policy board should be composed entirely of people under 30 years of age. 5. The Crime Cornrnission should be recognized and supported by the City and the counties of Metropolitan Atlanta. 6. It is recornrnended that the Mayor ask the Chairmen of the Crime C o mmission and the Youth Council to discuss a possible merger of the two organizations at an early date in order that we get full advantage of the federal legislation.

The proposal. was submitted t,y E.O.A. The City's Sanitary Department and several other agencies will be co-sponsors. We thought at the time that the Rodent Control Funds would have been appropriJted. It was passed by the House, but not by the Senate. It looks pretty dim to me that special rodent money will be availe~le. However, I do understand that HEW has some funds tnat it might make available for some special project. The request is that you do whatever you can to help us get this project funded. Since this was to have been a part of the YOP effort, the Vice President, as well as Senator Talmadg e might be helpful here. E x - O Fn c 1o ~C H 1EF' O F' P O L ICE, H E RB E RT T .

Approxinately 3,000 school dropouts and potential dropouts were contacted and urged to· renain in or return to school. Many of these contacts were on a person-to-person basis.

Most of these were seeking ways to spend their suoner leisure tine. Unfortunately, the lack of recreational and informal educational programs was most acute in the poverty c0Dr.1unitiesc Realizing the great need and shortage of wholesooe recreat~onal activities yea r round, the various parks, the public schools and libra rie~, the art groups, the EOA Heighborhood Service Centers, the CoCJDunity Chest Agencies, and sever al youth groups planned approxioately 6 0 pr ojects ~ The se pr ojects coobine seve:;:al recreation, and education and eoployoen t o Many of thes e wer e youth oana ged and operated. The City of Atlanta Parks and Recreation and School Departoents, EOA, United Appeal, and several other a gencies carried the oajor responsibilities for the recreationa l prograo in the target a reas o The activ ities of these prograns varied. The r e were several priva tely""s ponsored r ecreationa l projectD. These included caop ing activitie s by the Boy Scouts, Canp Fire Girls, YMCA, YWCA, and the Bethleheo Centers. The nuober of youth served in the various caoping prograos are as follows: Day Caop Resident Cao2 AGENCY 1968 1967 1960 1967 Metropoli t an YMCA Butler Street YMCA Me tropol itan YWCA Boy Scouts Sa lva tion Arny Girl Scouts Canp Fire Girl s Wesley Hooe Atlant a Parks Depart o.ent G:1.rl s Club Boys Club Grady Girl's Club Total 681 434 Hl5 868 54 431 8072. 893~ 4440 _. 457 4010 180 754 429 200 646 70 533 - 12612 765 754 690 79 2143 430 140 1645 51 700 624 740 121 200 1463 311 150 1319 112 -900 1002 7597 7042 A significant part of the recreation prosrao is the fact that it enployed approxtoately 1,300 youth to work in various pr.ograns and activities. The Atlanta Parks and Recreation Departoent has served approxioately 525,000 youth (tu1·nstile count) in suooer recreational opportunities. In addition , a large nuober of youth have received recreational opportunities thro~gh the vurious schoo l activities . In this respect, the public agencies have far exceeded any efforts at any tine in the past in their various recreational prograos and activities. Usually, the ultioate success of any prograo depends upon the concern and �14 involvement of private groups and organizations. The vari~us pr ivate org~i-~ zations and· agencies in 4tlanta have significantly contributed to the overall suoner recreational effort.,. Many of these agencies have pr,ovided resources over and above normal expectation3.

Many other 'd onations were mde to this aspect of the Youth Opportunity Progr8c for which cash value is difficult to deterninate. These donations are listed in another part of this report. The recreational aspect of the Youth Opportunity Progran has far exceeded any previous ef£<1rts. The Parks and Recreation Departoent, EOA and United A~peal agencies have provided outstanding participation and eupport~ Scee probleos did arise, however, and the following reconmendations a.re aiced at �I' 16 preventing thera in the future; I 1.

That private agencies nake better and wider use of their staff and facilities throughout the sur:iner nonths·~ 6. That closer coordination between EOA and the Parks Departoent be undertaken. 7. That funds be made available to the Recreation Departoent at the first of the Year'. SPECIAL DONATIONS The fact that the regular projects and prograas in the 1960 Youth Opportunity Prograo have operated so effectively nay be due to the various dona~ tions and contributions oade for the sunoer effort by private citizens, bus~ inesses and civic organizations and groups and federal agencies.

SWEAT, JR ., Director of Governmental Liaison MEMORANDUM T ·o: Mayor I van Allen, Jr. From: Subject: Dan Sweat ~ City of Atlanta participation in federal programs to combat crime and delin quency The Omnibus Crime C ontrol and Safe Streets Act an d the Juvenile Delinquency Prevention and Control Act of 1968 are two recently enacted federal g rant-in-aid statutes whic h offer real promise of assistance to the City of Atlanta. With the emphasis on law and order in the platforms of the national political parties, it is evident that full funding of these acts a s w ell as additional federal tools in this area will be forthcoming. In order to fully participate, it will be necessary for the City of Atlanta to develop comprehensive and realistic plans for training, research and operational planning for riot prevention and control. There is also demonstration money which might b e used very effectively if we have the means to use it. The attached p ro posal which w ould reorganize the Atlanta Childr en and Yo uth Services Council illustrates the need for some car eful consideration of Atlanta's immediate and future needs in the planning and development of programs to prevent and combat crime and delinquency. In view of this, the following points are suggested: 1. No action be taken at this time on the proposed amendments to the resolution creating the Atlanta Children and Youth Services Council. �Mayor Allen Page Two August 26 , 1968 2. Serious consideration be given to merging the Atlanta Children and Youth Services Council with the Metropolitan Atlanta Cornrnission on Crime and Delinquency. The ACYSC might be the youth or delinquency arm of the Crime Commission. 3. The Crime G_ommission be designated as our planning agency for the Omnibus Crime Control and Safe Streets Act and the Juvenile Delinquency Act. 4. Whatever the organizational structure, the Youth and Juvenile Delinquency programs should provide for the involvement of young people in the planning and execution of the program. The policy board should be composed entirely of people under 30 years of age. 5. The Crime Cornrnission should be recognized and supported by the City and the counties of Metropolitan Atlanta. 6. It is recornrnended that the Mayor ask the Chairmen of the Crime C o mmission and the Youth Council to discuss a possible merger of the two organizations at an early date in order that we get full advantage of the federal legislation.

The proposal. was submitted t,y E.O.A. The City's Sanitary Department and several other agencies will be co-sponsors. We thought at the time that the Rodent Control Funds would have been appropriJted. It was passed by the House, but not by the Senate. It looks pretty dim to me that special rodent money will be availe~le. However, I do understand that HEW has some funds tnat it might make available for some special project. The request is that you do whatever you can to help us get this project funded. Since this was to have been a part of the YOP effort, the Vice President, as well as Senator Talmadg e might be helpful here. E x - O Fn c 1o ~C H 1EF' O F' P O L ICE, H E RB E RT T .

A detai l ed description is as follows: Prograo Cost (Local , Sta te , Federa l ) Arts Pr ograo Priv~t e Bus iness Atlanta Public Schools* City of Atlanta Unit~d Appeal Special Funds TOTAL $1 ,300,529 75 , 000 237, 000 205, 000 300 , 000 10 . 000 $2,127,52 9 The above figures are the esti oated ca s h cost of t he year's prograo. As usual the cost in effort, tine, volunteers and other support can't be expressed in nonetar y value.

Most of these were seeking ways to spend their suoner leisure tine. Unfortunately, the lack of recreational and informal educational programs was most acute in the poverty c0Dr.1unitiesc Realizing the great need and shortage of wholesooe recreat~onal activities yea r round, the various parks, the public schools and libra rie~, the art groups, the EOA Heighborhood Service Centers, the CoCJDunity Chest Agencies, and sever al youth groups planned approxioately 6 0 pr ojects ~ The se pr ojects coobine seve:;:al recreation, and education and eoployoen t o Many of thes e wer e youth oana ged and operated. The City of Atlanta Parks and Recreation and School Departoents, EOA, United Appeal, and several other a gencies carried the oajor responsibilities for the recreationa l prograo in the target a reas o The activ ities of these prograns varied. The r e were several priva tely""s ponsored r ecreationa l projectD. These included caop ing activitie s by the Boy Scouts, Canp Fire Girls, YMCA, YWCA, and the Bethleheo Centers.

In this respect, the public agencies have far exceeded any efforts at any tine in the past in their various recreational prograos and activities. Usually, the ultioate success of any prograo depends upon the concern and �14 involvement of private groups and organizations. The vari~us pr ivate org~i-~ zations and· agencies in 4tlanta have significantly contributed to the overall suoner recreational effort.,.

Summary �GENERAL INTRODUCTION In 1968, The City of Atlanta, Economic Opportunity Atlanta, Inc., The Community Chest and several other private and public agencies and organizations sponsored a Youth Opportunity Program. More than 65 agencies and •rganizations participated in this program (See Attachment 1). The overall objectives cf the Youth Opportunity Program are to provide needed services to the poor, unemployed, socially retarded, culturally deprived and academically delinquent youth in the Metropolitan Atlanta Area. The majer efforts of the Youth Opportunity Program are aimed at eliminating these conditinns. Through the outstanding efforts and accomplishments of EOA, The City of Atlanta, The FEB, The Community Chest and several other agencies and organizations, the 1968 YOP yie lded the foll owing: 1. 14,990 youth attended sunnner school; 2. 3,000 youth received special remedial aid; 3. 1,400 youth received special tutorial help ; 4. 2,500 youth were contacted and urged to return to school ; 5. 1,500 youth participated in enrichment programs ; 6. 5,000 youth participated in Fine Arts prcgrams and activities ; 7. 525,000 youth par ticipated in Recreational Programs ; 8. 1,100 federa l employees volunteered to hel p in the YOP; 9. 20,000 youth participated in camping activities ; 10. Private businesses donated $237,000 in cash, equipment or services to the YOP. Although the 1968 YOP wa s a general succe ss, some gaps and omissions did oc cur. These were identifie d as follows : �-21. Recreation activities for youth ages 16-21 were virtually non-existent; 2. Ge nerally, no programs operated on week-ends; 3. Several agencies and organizations did not fulfill their employment commitments for poor youth; 4. Coordination and communication between some agencies were generally lacking; 5. The location of programs was widespread. However, areas such :1s Capitol Homes, Blair Village, Hentown, StewartLakewood, Cabbagetown, Mill Village, Knight Park, Adamsville, Mechanicsville, Peopletown, Joyland, Blue Heaven, Bush Mountain and Bass received little or no program input; 6. Resident camping opportunities for poor youth were woefully lacking ; 7. The more attractive and de sirable special eve nts resources were not enough to meet the need; 8. Tr ansportation remained a serious and difficult problem to deal with. The s e we r e the major problems which occurre d during the 1968 YOP. �PL..:\NNING 1969 In December, 1968, Vice President Hubert llumphrey sent a telegram to Mayor Ivan Allen, Jr. i :::.r:!ic c. tin:: that federal funds will be provided to the City of Atlanta for YOP Planning.

In order to prevent the scarcity of camping opportunities for poor youth from reoccuring in 1969, a Camping Sub-Committee was created in January, 1969 to deal with the problem of resident camping opportunities and cnmperships for poor youth. The camping sub-committee has sent camping questionnaires to all groups which operate resident and/or day camps. The purpose of the question- naire is to find out how agencies utilize their camps and camperships to benefit poor youth. Several of the agencies have indicated that they will provide camping opportunities for poor youth.

Morehouse College Morehouse College has received a grant of $100,000 from the Field Foundation according to a recent announcement made by Dr. Hugh M. Gloster, President of the college. This special grant was made in Memory of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., an alumnus of Morehouse, for the purpose of relating the College to problems of the inner city of Atlanta. Dr. Gloster said that the Field grant will support a second phase of Project CURE which was begun by Morehouse last summer. Phase I was supported by $50,000 grant from Morehouse Board Chairman, Charles Merrill. Last summer's program included projects in early childhood development and enrichment, youth development and enrichment, leadership training and dvelopment, basic and continuing adult education, and citizenship e duca tion. The entire program was enthusiastically r eceived by citize·ns of the inner city; and the citizens Neighborhood f~dvisory Counnittee, Northt11est Perry Homes Center, pr esented cita tions to the project director and assistant director for their work. The citations "For Out-standing Services, Summer 1968" were presented at a dinner honoring the recipients. Dr. Anna Grant, professor of ,sociology at Morehouse , who ser ved a s direc t or of Project CURE said, "I thi nk not hing could be mor e indicative of the r e a l success of our pr ogram than the f act tha t this gesture of appre ciation was ma de by t he people we we r e t rying to s erve ." The youth deve lopmen t and enrichment pr ogram, in,wh ich Morehouse and Spelman students served a s tut ors t o inne r city youth and a s campions and tutors to court-adjudged juvenile de l inquents has continued throughout the fall and winter despite the fact that funds were no longer available. �-53Phase II of Project CURE, which will also be directed by Dr. Grant, will operate an entire year -- June 1, 1969 through May 31, 1970 -- with the funds provided by the Field Foundation and will include two components -- a Resources Information Exchanee and an Economic Resources Development. The purpose of the Resources Information Exchange will be to provide residents of the inner city with knowledge about the many services offered by both public agencie~ and provate asencies which some persons might need but do not know about. The exchange will also study the responsiveness of the various agencies to the real needs of the people. The Central Information Exchange, housed on the Morehouse campus, will operate on a 24 hour basis; Neighborhood Information Centers will operate out of accessible area offices; and certain "natural leaders" in each neighborhood will be selected by their neighbors to serve as Home Informat i on Officers. �/ .tiR.TS Mrs. Rhodes Perdue, ft. - Chairman Hr3. !-I arold Barrett - Co-Chairman An Arts Sub-Committee has been formed and is working to secure opportunities and activities for disadvantaged youth in the Fine Arts. The i\rto nnd Cultural Prosram for the 1969 YOP will operate under the general title of "Creative Atlanta." Planning for the 1969 YOP arts activities has been seriously hampered by the very limited amount of funds for arts activities. In spite of the limited funds available for a YOP Arts Program, the Sub-Connnittees has managed to identify some of the arts activities which will be available for the Sunnner 1969. Salvation Army The followine program will be conducted at the Bellwood Boys' and Girls' Club during the sunnner months. This program will be conducted 3 nights a week under the leadership of a qualified leader from Cla rk College.

The Arts Sub-Conmtlttee has written over 50 agencies requestins information concerning their programs Vis A Vis the Arts. Many of these agencies have indicated that they will submit proposals so that they might undertake some activities in the Arts. Two proposals have already been submitted. These are described as follows: Proposal For .",. Community Theatre In The Edgewood-Kirkwood Area The Prosram will involve youth age fifteen (15) and -u p in a Community theatre, including drama, dance and music workshops. Training will also be available for those interested in set design, lighting and sound. The program as projected will involve at least one hundred and fifty youth in workshops running six (6) days a week. Paid Staff: Dire ctor - tq run theatre as artistic director and participate in program administratively, to direct and supervise volunteers and other staff. EOA Youth Assistants (to be paid by EOA) Administrative Assistant Technical Director Outreach Worker Volunteers~ to help r un workshops in a ll three areas (dance, drama, and music) VISTA - to assist director administrative ly to help coordinate with other youth programs in area.

Their association will end at the close of the college year unless funds can be found. It is hoped that mon~y can become available to pay two of this group so that continuity might be maintained in the pro3ram. The Center serves approximately one hundred youth, eight to fifteen years old now. Classes include drawing, painting, clny,magazine writing and movie making. The expenses for the movie making, which meets once a week and produces 16 mm movies of professional quality, is paid by the contracting agent, Urban Mythologies. Budget: Two people at $2.25 an hour, 40 hours a week for terr-weeks---- $1800.00 Fund for materials not available free or on loan------------200.00 $2000.00 Challenge 69 nnother Arts proposal is submitted for fundins . sponsored by the Academy Theatre. This proposal is It is known as "Challenge 69" and will operate in the following manner. "Cha llenge 69" is a n arts program to encourage the positive values whi ch our youth are ready to put to use -- their desire to become productive crea t ive human beings who are capable of be i ng relevant t o .the real needs in their counnuni t y. I t is a pr oeram cha llengi ng our youth to work togethe r to give artistic form to the ir s earch f or meaning and t hereby share with us a clearer statement of who they are - - and who we are. The basic work involve s youth from t hr oughout metropolitan ~tlanta �-58who have become together in the Atlanta Memorial Arts Center t o work a s exploring artists. From this basic work, they t hen spread out into partnership with Atlanta's Inner-city pro8rams for children and other community service a 3enci es. M d -for all of us, they give another dime nsion to the resources f or Atlanta that ' ca n be nourished in our arts center home . i\r thur Harris Foundation In 1968, .'ir thur Harris, Pres i dent of Scrip to, provided funds for a sma ll visua l arts pros r am in the I nner-city. 1:1.t .

The Arts Sub-Committee has conta cted several a 3encie s in efforts to obtain a location for the Arthur Harris Project in clos e prox imity to Scripto, Inc. The princ i pal of John Hope School ha s indica te d that he would be happy to have such a prosr am i n his schoo l durin3 the Summer 1969.

EOA Creative ~tlanta Pror,rarn The Creative Atla nta pro ject is to deve lop a cenuine i n terest i n the creative arts at the grass root level of the va rious neighborhood s e rvice centers this sunrrner. Based on the limited funds available, the following are contemplated: 1. Music -- Mr. John B. Lawhorn to instruct a group of volunteers on his revoluntionary method to teach music to people who had no previous knowledge· of music. These volunteers have agreed to teach twice a week at our ne ighbor hood s e rvice c ent e rs, (15-20). 2. Drama -- I personally, with the a ssista nce of three dramn students of Atla nta University Center will a rrange Crea tive Drama Workshops to be held weekly a t the v~ri0us neighborhood service centers. 3. Arts -- A professional artist of the Art Department of Atla nta University Ce nter will supervise students a nd volunteers to work in painting sculpture, ceramics, etc., a t the neighborhood service centers on a weekly basi~. 4. Creative Da nce -- A professional dances has been contacted to arrange c rea tive dance workshops i n two to three ne i ghborhood centers weekly. 5. Specia l visits Plans a re made t o arrange for visits by prominent ar tists to the ce nters. 6. Performance s - - In cooperation with the Parks and Re c reation De partment of the City of n t l a nta, performances will be scheduled by dance theater s roups to petform on t he Showmobile in various areas of the inner city. 7. Additional workshops -- Incorporated with the staff of Parks and Recreation, City of ~tlanta, add itional worksho p on Ar ts and Crafts, photography, etc. At our neighborhood service centers so f ar as the budget is concerned, we have been a ssured that the administration of Spelman College will pay t he �-60- amount of $1.50 per hour for a 40 hour week for 10 Spelman students on a weekly basis. This oeans practically that Spelman College will pay $1.20 from its own funds but $. 30 will have to be contributed by EO.:\ to Spelman. I was assured by the administra tion that we could have, be ginnins the first of September, twenty students on a 15 hour basis workinc for a full y0ar on the same financial arrangement. �-61- Eastern Music Festival -- Special Summer Program -- Cultural Enrichment Program I.

How will recormnendations for improvement be put into effect? I. (a) Persons in the poverty community, particularly youngsters, seldom if ever have the opportunity to become aware of or take part in the creative process entailed in the performing arts. (b) The objectives are to offer the opportunity to the youngsters involved for specialized instrumental training and understanding in symphonic music performance. Also to brine the achievements of these youngsters to the total corrnnunity at various times during the year in the follow-up program. · Benefits include strong job training possibilities for the youngsters and a strong de gree of pride to the poverty cormnunity when the achievements of the youngsters are brou3ht, through cbncerts, to their attention. In addition, it is hoped that the prevailing attitudes which most in the poverty community have toward the performance of classical music, and in particular to those participants in classical music, will be altered. (c) The performing ar ts have long been one of the few job • areas completely open to those in t he ghetto, and symphony orchestra s alarie s in this country are, for the first time , paying living wages to musicians. There is also an extreme scarcity of quali fie d string players being t raine d in the country today, and it is planned that many of the youngsters select e d for this program would be students who play s tring instruments. ~lso, the opportunities available to the active participant and the viewer of the arts has simply not been available to the poverty corrnnunity. The kind of achievement that was made �-64- by the youngsters selected for a similar prosram sponsored by EOPI in Miami last year has astounded the connnunity there and has provided the young participants in the program with an enormous degree of inspiration and enducement to continue, through whatever means possible, to achieve in this area. II. proper. (.a) Fifty youne;sters will take part in the Festival program As many as 40 educators, cormnunity leaders, etc. will be involved directly in the recruitment program. The number of persons in the poverty community who will be involved in the follow-up program is unlimited. (b) Judging from the experience with EOPI in Miami, approximately 25%. (c) Each CM will assign one staff member to be responsible for recruiting in the community. A recruitment conunittee, consisting of community residents, will be established and information about the program will be made available to all students who participate in the public school music programs in poverty areas. There will be a series of three open audit.i ons in each com- munity after the completion of which participants will be selected. (d) Ten students will be selected from each of five cities. The ones selected will be those who display the greatest degree of proficiency at the t i me along with potential. The cost of the unique factors involved in training young musicians (the younger the better ) in order to develop proper physical coordination (the program wil l be limited to students 16 and under). III. (a) OEO sponsored students will participate, along with double their number fr om other geographic areas and environs, in the Eastern Festival program. This includes participation in a student orchestra, chamber music ensemble, provide lessons taught by professional performers from major American orchestras, master classes, bi~weekly concerts, and various recreational activities. �-65(b) In past years, the Festival has maintained two student orchestras of equal ability. and a training orchestra. This year there will be an advanced orchestra While certainly some of the OEO students will qualify for the advanced orchestra (some of the EOPI students last year were among our finest talents), we feel it i s of 3reat importance to provide leadership possibilities in a trainin3 orchestra for some of those who other- wise would be relegated to ba ck-of-the-section positions in an orchestra that is too advanced for them to realize a meaningful educational experience. (c) The Eastern Festival program is one in which professional a l performer/teacher and student wor k to5ether in a curriculum that is geared to performance. In addition to their own performances, students regularly hear concerts by the professionals. The Festival is nationally recognized as one of the major i nstitutions of its kind in the coun t!Y• (d ) See (b) above. (e ) Does not ap ply. ( £) OEO sponsor ed s t udents wil l be ass igned to work with pro- f es s i onal mus ician in their home t own for the school ye ar followi ng the i r attendance at the Festiva l . The s t uden t s wi ll pre s ent a series of order l y concerts at various connnunity centers, t o disp l ay t o themse lve s and to the total community their achievements. The r es ponsibility for presenting these programs will obviously demand serious practice during the year by the participants . (g) Other members of the participants' families will be involved in much the same way as the rest of the community. (h) The Festival has a long-time contract with Guilford College whose total facilities are made available each summer. located on the outskirts of Greensboro, North Carolina. Guilford College is �-66(i) Trans portation from the participants' home to the , stival and return is included as a part of the budget. (j) A clothing allocation for participants is included as a part of the bud get, as is spending money which is to be used for instrumental needs such as reeds, rosin and some music, in addition to laundry and drug store items. (k) We foresee no problems in carrying out the program this year, in light of what we learned from our experience last sunnner with EOPI. (1) There will be no change. We would not for this season want a larger number students, and a smaller number of students would on ly mean that we would admit that many more applicants. IV . (a) The policy advisor y groups i n each city will a ct on and be respons i ble for a ll matters pertaining to the ex tensive recruitment program, descri bed in II (c) above. (b ) Persons who have es tablished themselves as leaders in var ious aspe c t s of connnunity l i fe wi ll be selec t ed . (c ) The recruitment procedur e and the follow- up program are, to a larger ex t ent, t he i deas given to us by t hos e target area r es idents who par t i c ipated in t he EOPI program l a s t sunnner. (d ) The target area resident s' influence on the pr ogram will be demonstrated by their attempt s at, and reaction t o , the concerts gi ven in the follow-up program. (e) Target area groups and neighborhood organizations will have repre sentative s on the recruitment committee. V. (a) Each CM will de si gnate one staff member to be responsible for administrative detail work in the program. This person obviously would be more aware of prevailing conditions and attitudes within the connnunity than would a Festival r epresentative. �-67(b) The Eastern Festival staff is limited to professional per- forming musicians and some conservatory graduate students. Selection is by audition and personal interview. ~pproximately 50% of the Festival faculty and staff have had one or more years association with the Festival. (c) Attempts will be made to have OEO sponsored students assist music directors in their public schools in the year following their attendance at the Festival. VI.

(a) Checkpoint procedures are as follows (please refer to copy of original proposa l attached for more complete understanding): 1) The project coordinators from each of the 5 cities visited Gr eensbor o on March 29, 1969. They were shown the complete faci l ities followed by a group dis cuss i on r ela t ed to a ll aspects of this project (refer to Checkpoint Form 1 a t tached for agenda). Audition dates were determined as indicated on Checkpoint Form 2. 2) The Pre Initial Audition Form (a tta ched) was sent to each project coordinator ( these forms will be submitted as they are made available). 3) The Final Audition in each city wil l be attended by Eastern Music Festival representative who will serve as the checkpoint at that stage. 4) From the time of the final auditions to the date of the actual Festival season, various checkpoints will be employed. These checkpoints will consist of various forms such as to determine student's poverty eligibility, �-68- .parental approval forms, and re3ular information which the Festival sends to all of its students. 5) Durin3 the actual season, the OEO students will be under the cuidance and direct supervision of our complete faculty and staff. In addition, we have employed a Dean of the Festival whose General responsibility will be in the area of student -- faculty/staff relations, but whose specific job will involve any special problems (none anticipated) which occur with OEO students. nlso, re3Ular faculty/staff administration meetings are scheduled to discuss all student matters. 6) After the Festival season , checkpoints will consist of regular questionnaires, yet to be determines, by the Eastern Music Festival sta ff as well as t he individual c:.J..' s . 7) Finally, the checkpoints will consist of workin3 with these students by means of quarterly workshops. The exact procedures and form of these workshops is impossible to be de termined a t this point. (b) None (c) None (d ) None (e) Rather than s i mply making available fr om time to time in- school concerts, plays , etc. by profes s i onal 3roups who have no direct relationship with students or the connnunity, it is hoped that youn3sters directly involved and the total corrnnunity will become aware of the possibilities for careers in the performin3 cla~sical arts.

" This project will be This center will provide supportive and therapeutic services to adolescents a ge 13 and over who are trying to adjust to problems of living . It would also provide a forum mechanism for a gency re- presentatives to share experiences and creative ideas about how total available resources might best be related to existing human needs i n this area of int er e st. There are four basic reasons why such a center is proposed. These are : 1. The limited services ava ilable to aid troubling and t r oubled yout h in s pi te of the myriad of resources which do not provide s erv ices on an immedi ate basis . 2. The intake and processing requirement s of tradi t ional casework a nd psychiatric a s encies tend t o divert youth f r om part i cipa t i on and t o f al l short of t he need . 3. The selection and utilization of appropriate services tend to be a significant prob l em. 4. The general shortage of personnel and funds available to help youth in this manner. 1. To provide you th , 13 and over with i ndividual and group s ervices. 2. To provide troubled and troubling youth with help for problems of s ocial and personal adjustment. 3. To provide the testing and evaluative services necessary for further referral where indicated. Objectives �l -724. To provide '"!ffective help in a crisis ituation. 5. To find an<l involve volunteer and professional loan staff from agencies and individuals who will provide professional and meaningful purposeful relationshi~s with youth. 6. To provide consultative service to agencicn working with troubled youth. Operational Procedure This a gency wi 11 be open from 11: 00 ! •. M. - 8: 00 P. M. with professional and volunteer staff. Youth will be notified of the center's operation by news media, neighbors, friends and other agencies in the Youth Opportunity Program, teachers and ministers that such a service is availab le and where it is located. The basic philos ophy of this program will be similar to the "crisis" concept~ Therefore, professionals will be functioning with clients in a non- traditional role. The intake process will be minimized. nt the center, incoming youth will go to or be met by an intake worker whose only function would be refer ring you t h to an available staff person re gardless of professional status, to dis cuss his prob l ems. Identifying informat i on would be obtained during the intervi ew at the worke r's discret i on, If necessary other s t aff will be ut i l ize d f or consultative purposes and f urther dia gnosis and treatmen t . The professional will be r ead i l y avail ab l e to addres s h i mself to t he urgent c oncern of the moment with a view toward an appropria te s ol ution . The proj e ct wi l l provide consulta tive services to a ge nc ies calling t he cente r and asking for help wi t h troubled youth they have identif i e d. Any youth or group e nte r i ng the center wil l be s erv ice d. The re will be in-service training, case confer ence, sues t s peakers and dis cussion of current problems that promote inter-ra cial and inter-cultural under s tanding as worked out with staff. �-73It is hoped that this project will generate the interest and enthusiasm of the agencies in the community so that it would operate on a year-round basis. However, at the end of the summer should this project not be ongoing , the operating a gencies will assume responsibility for absorption of cases needing continuing follow-up. Evaluation This project will be evaluated at the end of the summer. Location The center will be located at the Trinity United Methodist Church at 165 Washington Street, S. W., Atlanta, Geor3ia. Staff One professional staff person will be hired (or borrowed) to direct the project. The responsibilities and duties of this director will be: 1. To schedule and coordinate the loan and volunteer staff. 2. To assist in the training of non-professionals. 3. To develop interpretive and in-service training material for staff , organizations and volunteers; 4. To maintain offi ce reports) records , etc. and provide 0eneral administrative and supervisory 3uidance f or the staff of the project. 5. To recruit staff r e placements from existing a gencies in the community. The remainder of the staff would be loaned to the pr oject by participatine a gencies and would constitute a multi disci plinary treatment staff. ~ddi tional staff would be constituted of volunteer pr ofess i ona l s who have a gree d t o pr ovide dir ect ser vices to the pr oject. Many of t hese voluntee r s would be persons whose nor mal day~ t o- day a ctivi t i es might be administrative , s upervisory , c onsu ltative etc . from the various fie lds of priva t e practice. Vo l unteers would a ls o come The project will also provide volunteer non~profe s sional who possibly have no other skill than providinc a �-74warm friendship and general support to this project.

The manpower needed to carry out the many activities in this program is too numerous to be obtained from the limited funds available. Therefore, a vigorous effort is underway to obtain the necessary volunteers far the 1969 Youth Opportunity Program. The major sources of volunteers are EO/... (Start Now Atlanta Program), The Community Council of the Atlanta Area, The Red Cross, The Junior Chamber of Commerce, The Federal Executive Board, The Atlanta Urban League, The Atlanta Chapter of the League of Women Voters, The Women's Chamber of Commerce and the Garrison Company, Fort McPherson. The Volunteer Sub-Committee of the YOP ha s approached the established volunteer resources be used upon request to assist agencies participating in the YOP. The following agencies h ave a greed to do so: The Red Cross, Chamber of Corranerce, League of Women Voters, Fort McPherson , Junior Chamber of Commerce, Federa l Executive Board, Atlanta Ur ban Le ague and the Community Council. The re are s eve r al other non-establishe d volunteer resources which are being cont a cted f or input i nto the YOP. The se resour ce s i nclude the Wal k-In Vo luntee r, Churche s , Stude nt groups, a nd c olle ge s. Special effort s are being made to e ngender more b l ack adul t and youth vol unteers. The mos t acute prob l em in 1968 was a cent ra l coordination and dispatching office to carry out coordination for a day to day and week to week basis. This year, the YOP effort will, hopefully, eliminate this problem by hiring 2 or 3 Urban Corp interns to operate a central volunteer office for the YOP. - 77- �-78- The specific duties of the interns will be: 1. 2: To provide Central coordination for the YOP Volunteer Program; To compile and codify the volunteer resources and needs for agencies and groups participating in the YOP; 3. To take calls on a day-to-day basis for volunteers; 4. To dispatch appropriate volunteers to groups and user agencies. Hopefully, the ~enter will become operative by June 10, 1969. The Fulton County Medical Society will provide free physical examinations for poor youth who might need them to go to camp. The Metropolitan Commission on Crime and Delinquency is engendering financial support for special surrnner programs. The ntlanta Youth Congrens will contacy youth and urge them to serve as volunteers in the YOP. �TRL\NSPORTATION Mr. Robert M. Wood - Chairman One of the most serious problems encountered in the Youth Opportunity Prosram during the surrnner of 1968 was the lack of adequate transportation resources and facilities. The same problem remains for 1969. In efforts to overcome anticipated problems around transportation a special task force is workins to obtain special transportation for the 1969 Youth Opportunity Program. The Transportation Task Force has contacted several individual bus owners and the transportation companies asking them to provide special transportation at no cost or reduced rates for Youth Opportunity Activities. No positive responses to the request have been received to date. In lieu of the limited response from tpe various transportation companies, the task lorce sugce sted that transportation for the Youth Opportunity Program be centralized. All of the major a gencies were contacted and asked if they would establish a joint transportation pool. EOA and the Atlanta Parks and Recreation Department have a greed to share their resources in order to establish a central transportation pool. The transportation pool wil l provide: 1. ~ 2. Singular cont act with the Atlanta Tr ansit Company. 3. Key transportat ion con tacts in the major a gencies. 4. Identification s ystems for buse s and youth. 5. The neces s ary machinery for dea l ing with the transportation requests of ad hoc groups. 6. A hired dispatcher to deal exclusively with scheduling and other transportation matter s . centralized dis patching office. - 79- �SPECIAL PROGRAfIB POLICE DEPARTMENT The Atlanta Police Depa r t ment will provide a Crime Prevention Officer in each EOA Neighborhood Service Center in the city. These officers will work closely with the City Services Coordinator s, EOA per sonne l, community orga ni zations and indiv idua ls to· e liminate potential problem are a s .

Summary �GENERAL INTRODUCTION In 1968, The City of Atlanta, Economic Opportunity Atlanta, Inc., The Community Chest and several other private and public agencies and organizations sponsored a Youth Opportunity Program. More than 65 agencies and •rganizations participated in this program (See Attachment 1). The overall objectives cf the Youth Opportunity Program are to provide needed services to the poor, unemployed, socially retarded, culturally deprived and academically delinquent youth in the Metropolitan Atlanta Area. The majer efforts of the Youth Opportunity Program are aimed at eliminating these conditinns. Through the outstanding efforts and accomplishments of EOA, The City of Atlanta, The FEB, The Community Chest and several other agencies and organizations, the 1968 YOP yie lded the foll owing: 1. 14,990 youth attended sunnner school; 2. 3,000 youth received special remedial aid; 3. 1,400 youth received special tutorial help ; 4. 2,500 youth were contacted and urged to return to school ; 5. 1,500 youth participated in enrichment programs ; 6. 5,000 youth participated in Fine Arts prcgrams and activities ; 7. 525,000 youth par ticipated in Recreational Programs ; 8. 1,100 federa l employees volunteered to hel p in the YOP; 9. 20,000 youth participated in camping activities ; 10. Private businesses donated $237,000 in cash, equipment or services to the YOP. Although the 1968 YOP wa s a general succe ss, some gaps and omissions did oc cur. These were identifie d as follows : �-21. Recreation activities for youth ages 16-21 were virtually non-existent; 2. Ge nerally, no programs operated on week-ends; 3. Several agencies and organizations did not fulfill their employment commitments for poor youth; 4. Coordination and communication between some agencies were generally lacking; 5. The location of programs was widespread. However, areas such :1s Capitol Homes, Blair Village, Hentown, StewartLakewood, Cabbagetown, Mill Village, Knight Park, Adamsville, Mechanicsville, Peopletown, Joyland, Blue Heaven, Bush Mountain and Bass received little or no program input; 6. Resident camping opportunities for poor youth were woefully lacking ; 7. The more attractive and de sirable special eve nts resources were not enough to meet the need; 8. Tr ansportation remained a serious and difficult problem to deal with. The s e we r e the major problems which occurre d during the 1968 YOP. �PL..:\NNING 1969 In December, 1968, Vice President Hubert llumphrey sent a telegram to Mayor Ivan Allen, Jr. i :::.r:!ic c. tin:: that federal funds will be provided to the City of Atlanta for YOP Planning.

In order to prevent the scarcity of camping opportunities for poor youth from reoccuring in 1969, a Camping Sub-Committee was created in January, 1969 to deal with the problem of resident camping opportunities and cnmperships for poor youth. The camping sub-committee has sent camping questionnaires to all groups which operate resident and/or day camps. The purpose of the question- naire is to find out how agencies utilize their camps and camperships to benefit poor youth. Several of the agencies have indicated that they will provide camping opportunities for poor youth.

Morehouse College Morehouse College has received a grant of $100,000 from the Field Foundation according to a recent announcement made by Dr. Hugh M. Gloster, President of the college. This special grant was made in Memory of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., an alumnus of Morehouse, for the purpose of relating the College to problems of the inner city of Atlanta. Dr. Gloster said that the Field grant will support a second phase of Project CURE which was begun by Morehouse last summer. Phase I was supported by $50,000 grant from Morehouse Board Chairman, Charles Merrill. Last summer's program included projects in early childhood development and enrichment, youth development and enrichment, leadership training and dvelopment, basic and continuing adult education, and citizenship e duca tion. The entire program was enthusiastically r eceived by citize·ns of the inner city; and the citizens Neighborhood f~dvisory Counnittee, Northt11est Perry Homes Center, pr esented cita tions to the project director and assistant director for their work. The citations "For Out-standing Services, Summer 1968" were presented at a dinner honoring the recipients. Dr. Anna Grant, professor of ,sociology at Morehouse , who ser ved a s direc t or of Project CURE said, "I thi nk not hing could be mor e indicative of the r e a l success of our pr ogram than the f act tha t this gesture of appre ciation was ma de by t he people we we r e t rying to s erve ." The youth deve lopmen t and enrichment pr ogram, in,wh ich Morehouse and Spelman students served a s tut ors t o inne r city youth and a s campions and tutors to court-adjudged juvenile de l inquents has continued throughout the fall and winter despite the fact that funds were no longer available. �-53Phase II of Project CURE, which will also be directed by Dr. Grant, will operate an entire year -- June 1, 1969 through May 31, 1970 -- with the funds provided by the Field Foundation and will include two components -- a Resources Information Exchanee and an Economic Resources Development. The purpose of the Resources Information Exchange will be to provide residents of the inner city with knowledge about the many services offered by both public agencie~ and provate asencies which some persons might need but do not know about. The exchange will also study the responsiveness of the various agencies to the real needs of the people. The Central Information Exchange, housed on the Morehouse campus, will operate on a 24 hour basis; Neighborhood Information Centers will operate out of accessible area offices; and certain "natural leaders" in each neighborhood will be selected by their neighbors to serve as Home Informat i on Officers. �/ .tiR.TS Mrs. Rhodes Perdue, ft. - Chairman Hr3. !-I arold Barrett - Co-Chairman An Arts Sub-Committee has been formed and is working to secure opportunities and activities for disadvantaged youth in the Fine Arts.

The Arts Sub-Conmtlttee has written over 50 agencies requestins information concerning their programs Vis A Vis the Arts. Many of these agencies have indicated that they will submit proposals so that they might undertake some activities in the Arts. Two proposals have already been submitted. These are described as follows: Proposal For .",. Community Theatre In The Edgewood-Kirkwood Area The Prosram will involve youth age fifteen (15) and -u p in a Community theatre, including drama, dance and music workshops. Training will also be available for those interested in set design, lighting and sound. The program as projected will involve at least one hundred and fifty youth in workshops running six (6) days a week. Paid Staff: Dire ctor - tq run theatre as artistic director and participate in program administratively, to direct and supervise volunteers and other staff. EOA Youth Assistants (to be paid by EOA) Administrative Assistant Technical Director Outreach Worker Volunteers~ to help r un workshops in a ll three areas (dance, drama, and music) VISTA - to assist director administrative ly to help coordinate with other youth programs in area. Summer Budget: Director@ $125 per week for ten weeks Telephone for three months Utilities for three months Miscellaneous expenses; for Volunteer expenses, contigency fund, equipment and materials not available on loan or for free, transportation expenses $1250.00 30.00 60.00 500.00 $1840.00 �-57Hard$c ~ircle /i.rts Center At present the center is staffed by members of the Black ~rt Student alliance of the ntlantn University complex. Their association will end at the close of the college year unless funds can be found. It is hoped that mon~y can become available to pay two of this group so that continuity might be maintained in the pro3ram. The Center serves approximately one hundred youth, eight to fifteen years old now. Classes include drawing, painting, clny,magazine writing and movie making. The expenses for the movie making, which meets once a week and produces 16 mm movies of professional quality, is paid by the contracting agent, Urban Mythologies. Budget: Two people at $2.25 an hour, 40 hours a week for terr-weeks---- $1800.00 Fund for materials not available free or on loan------------200.00 $2000.00 Challenge 69 nnother Arts proposal is submitted for fundins . sponsored by the Academy Theatre. This proposal is It is known as "Challenge 69" and will operate in the following manner. "Cha llenge 69" is a n arts program to encourage the positive values whi ch our youth are ready to put to use -- their desire to become productive crea t ive human beings who are capable of be i ng relevant t o .the real needs in their counnuni t y. I t is a pr oeram cha llengi ng our youth to work togethe r to give artistic form to the ir s earch f or meaning and t hereby share with us a clearer statement of who they are - - and who we are. The basic work involve s youth from t hr oughout metropolitan ~tlanta �-58who have become together in the Atlanta Memorial Arts Center t o work a s exploring artists. From this basic work, they t hen spread out into partnership with Atlanta's Inner-city pro8rams for children and other community service a 3enci es. M d -for all of us, they give another dime nsion to the resources f or Atlanta that ' ca n be nourished in our arts center home . i\r thur Harris Foundation In 1968, .'ir thur Harris, Pres i dent of Scrip to, provided funds for a sma ll visua l arts pros r am in the I nner-city. 1:1.t . Har ris has indicated tha t he might fund the same type of a ctivity a gain i n 1969. The Arts Sub-Committee has conta cted several a 3encie s in efforts to obtain a location for the Arthur Harris Project in clos e prox imity to Scripto, Inc. The princ i pal of John Hope School ha s indica te d that he would be happy to have such a prosr am i n his schoo l durin3 the Summer 1969. Arts activitie s will be offer ed in the Mode l Citie s a r ea through the Atlanta Art s . Council. The Guild will operate a photogr a phy proj e ct known a s The Urba n Myt h ology Film Program. The Ur ban Mythology Fi l m Program us es film a nd photography a s a way of focu s ing attent i on on t he myths wh i ch pr cv~dc the ur ban environment , thus affording children an oppor t uni ty to establi sh an ar t based on t heir everyday lives. This program differs from other in three respects: 1) It provides children of diverse cultural backgrounds an opportunity to work with established and apprentice artists; 2) it is intended to reach a mass audience through a television ser ies of children's stories and photographs; 3) it is an active �-59children's stories and photograph; 3) it is an active attempt to involve children in developing myths that are relevant to themselves and to urban culture. EOA Creative ~tlanta Pror,rarn The Creative Atla nta pro ject is to deve lop a cenuine i n terest i n the creative arts at the grass root level of the va rious neighborhood s e rvice centers this sunrrner. Based on the limited funds available, the following are contemplated: 1. Music -- Mr. John B. Lawhorn to instruct a group of volunteers on his revoluntionary method to teach music to people who had no previous knowledge· of music. These volunteers have agreed to teach twice a week at our ne ighbor hood s e rvice c ent e rs, (15-20). 2. Drama -- I personally, with the a ssista nce of three dramn students of Atla nta University Center will a rrange Crea tive Drama Workshops to be held weekly a t the v~ri0us neighborhood service centers. 3. Arts -- A professional artist of the Art Department of Atla nta University Ce nter will supervise students a nd volunteers to work in painting sculpture, ceramics, etc., a t the neighborhood service centers on a weekly basi~. 4. Creative Da nce -- A professional dances has been contacted to arrange c rea tive dance workshops i n two to three ne i ghborhood centers weekly. 5. Specia l visits Plans a re made t o arrange for visits by prominent ar tists to the ce nters. 6. Performance s - - In cooperation with the Parks and Re c reation De partment of the City of n t l a nta, performances will be scheduled by dance theater s roups to petform on t he Showmobile in various areas of the inner city. 7. Additional workshops -- Incorporated with the staff of Parks and Recreation, City of ~tlanta, add itional worksho p on Ar ts and Crafts, photography, etc. At our neighborhood service centers so f ar as the budget is concerned, we have been a ssured that the administration of Spelman College will pay t he �-60- amount of $1.50 per hour for a 40 hour week for 10 Spelman students on a weekly basis. This oeans practically that Spelman College will pay $1.20 from its own funds but $. 30 will have to be contributed by EO.:\ to Spelman. I was assured by the administra tion that we could have, be ginnins the first of September, twenty students on a 15 hour basis workinc for a full y0ar on the same financial arrangement. �-61- Eastern Music Festival -- Special Summer Program -- Cultural Enrichment Program I.

How will recormnendations for improvement be put into effect? I. (a) Persons in the poverty community, particularly youngsters, seldom if ever have the opportunity to become aware of or take part in the creative process entailed in the performing arts. (b) The objectives are to offer the opportunity to the youngsters involved for specialized instrumental training and understanding in symphonic music performance. Also to brine the achievements of these youngsters to the total corrnnunity at various times during the year in the follow-up program. · Benefits include strong job training possibilities for the youngsters and a strong de gree of pride to the poverty cormnunity when the achievements of the youngsters are brou3ht, through cbncerts, to their attention. In addition, it is hoped that the prevailing attitudes which most in the poverty community have toward the performance of classical music, and in particular to those participants in classical music, will be altered. (c) The performing ar ts have long been one of the few job • areas completely open to those in t he ghetto, and symphony orchestra s alarie s in this country are, for the first time , paying living wages to musicians. There is also an extreme scarcity of quali fie d string players being t raine d in the country today, and it is planned that many of the youngsters select e d for this program would be students who play s tring instruments. ~lso, the opportunities available to the active participant and the viewer of the arts has simply not been available to the poverty corrnnunity. The kind of achievement that was made �-64- by the youngsters selected for a similar prosram sponsored by EOPI in Miami last year has astounded the connnunity there and has provided the young participants in the program with an enormous degree of inspiration and enducement to continue, through whatever means possible, to achieve in this area. II. proper. (.a) Fifty youne;sters will take part in the Festival program As many as 40 educators, cormnunity leaders, etc. will be involved directly in the recruitment program. The number of persons in the poverty community who will be involved in the follow-up program is unlimited. (b) Judging from the experience with EOPI in Miami, approximately 25%. (c) Each CM will assign one staff member to be responsible for recruiting in the community. A recruitment conunittee, consisting of community residents, will be established and information about the program will be made available to all students who participate in the public school music programs in poverty areas. There will be a series of three open audit.i ons in each com- munity after the completion of which participants will be selected. (d) Ten students will be selected from each of five cities. The ones selected will be those who display the greatest degree of proficiency at the t i me along with potential. The cost of the unique factors involved in training young musicians (the younger the better ) in order to develop proper physical coordination (the program wil l be limited to students 16 and under). III. (a) OEO sponsored students will participate, along with double their number fr om other geographic areas and environs, in the Eastern Festival program. This includes participation in a student orchestra, chamber music ensemble, provide lessons taught by professional performers from major American orchestras, master classes, bi~weekly concerts, and various recreational activities. �-65(b) In past years, the Festival has maintained two student orchestras of equal ability. and a training orchestra. This year there will be an advanced orchestra While certainly some of the OEO students will qualify for the advanced orchestra (some of the EOPI students last year were among our finest talents), we feel it i s of 3reat importance to provide leadership possibilities in a trainin3 orchestra for some of those who other- wise would be relegated to ba ck-of-the-section positions in an orchestra that is too advanced for them to realize a meaningful educational experience. (c) The Eastern Festival program is one in which professional a l performer/teacher and student wor k to5ether in a curriculum that is geared to performance. In addition to their own performances, students regularly hear concerts by the professionals. The Festival is nationally recognized as one of the major i nstitutions of its kind in the coun t!Y• (d ) See (b) above. (e ) Does not ap ply. ( £) OEO sponsor ed s t udents wil l be ass igned to work with pro- f es s i onal mus ician in their home t own for the school ye ar followi ng the i r attendance at the Festiva l . The s t uden t s wi ll pre s ent a series of order l y concerts at various connnunity centers, t o disp l ay t o themse lve s and to the total community their achievements. The r es ponsibility for presenting these programs will obviously demand serious practice during the year by the participants . (g) Other members of the participants' families will be involved in much the same way as the rest of the community. (h) The Festival has a long-time contract with Guilford College whose total facilities are made available each summer. located on the outskirts of Greensboro, North Carolina. Guilford College is �-66(i) Trans portation from the participants' home to the , stival and return is included as a part of the budget. (j) A clothing allocation for participants is included as a part of the bud get, as is spending money which is to be used for instrumental needs such as reeds, rosin and some music, in addition to laundry and drug store items. (k) We foresee no problems in carrying out the program this year, in light of what we learned from our experience last sunnner with EOPI. (1) There will be no change. We would not for this season want a larger number students, and a smaller number of students would on ly mean that we would admit that many more applicants. IV . (a) The policy advisor y groups i n each city will a ct on and be respons i ble for a ll matters pertaining to the ex tensive recruitment program, descri bed in II (c) above. (b ) Persons who have es tablished themselves as leaders in var ious aspe c t s of connnunity l i fe wi ll be selec t ed . (c ) The recruitment procedur e and the follow- up program are, to a larger ex t ent, t he i deas given to us by t hos e target area r es idents who par t i c ipated in t he EOPI program l a s t sunnner. (d ) The target area resident s' influence on the pr ogram will be demonstrated by their attempt s at, and reaction t o , the concerts gi ven in the follow-up program. (e) Target area groups and neighborhood organizations will have repre sentative s on the recruitment committee. V. (a) Each CM will de si gnate one staff member to be responsible for administrative detail work in the program. This person obviously would be more aware of prevailing conditions and attitudes within the connnunity than would a Festival r epresentative. �-67(b) The Eastern Festival staff is limited to professional per- forming musicians and some conservatory graduate students. Selection is by audition and personal interview. ~pproximately 50% of the Festival faculty and staff have had one or more years association with the Festival. (c) Attempts will be made to have OEO sponsored students assist music directors in their public schools in the year following their attendance at the Festival. VI. (d) None (e) None (f) See IV (a) and (b) above. ( g) See IV (a) and (b) above. (h) See II (~) above . (i) See II (c) above. (a) Checkpoint procedures are as follows (please refer to copy of original proposa l attached for more complete understanding): 1) The project coordinators from each of the 5 cities visited Gr eensbor o on March 29, 1969. They were shown the complete faci l ities followed by a group dis cuss i on r ela t ed to a ll aspects of this project (refer to Checkpoint Form 1 a t tached for agenda). Audition dates were determined as indicated on Checkpoint Form 2. 2) The Pre Initial Audition Form (a tta ched) was sent to each project coordinator ( these forms will be submitted as they are made available). 3) The Final Audition in each city wil l be attended by Eastern Music Festival representative who will serve as the checkpoint at that stage. 4) From the time of the final auditions to the date of the actual Festival season, various checkpoints will be employed. These checkpoints will consist of various forms such as to determine student's poverty eligibility, �-68- .parental approval forms, and re3ular information which the Festival sends to all of its students. 5) Durin3 the actual season, the OEO students will be under the cuidance and direct supervision of our complete faculty and staff. In addition, we have employed a Dean of the Festival whose General responsibility will be in the area of student -- faculty/staff relations, but whose specific job will involve any special problems (none anticipated) which occur with OEO students. nlso, re3Ular faculty/staff administration meetings are scheduled to discuss all student matters. 6) After the Festival season , checkpoints will consist of regular questionnaires, yet to be determines, by the Eastern Music Festival sta ff as well as t he individual c:.J..' s . 7) Finally, the checkpoints will consist of workin3 with these students by means of quarterly workshops. The exact procedures and form of these workshops is impossible to be de termined a t this point. (b) None (c) None (d ) None (e) Rather than s i mply making available fr om time to time in- school concerts, plays , etc. by profes s i onal 3roups who have no direct relationship with students or the connnunity, it is hoped that youn3sters directly involved and the total corrnnunity will become aware of the possibilities for careers in the performin3 cla~sical arts. VII.

Social Services Sub-Corrnnittee has been established. The connnittee is attempting to draw together all of the casework and counseling a 3encies as well as concerned individuals and churches in an effort to provide a "Walk-in Counseling Center." 1\. proposal for the Center has been developed , I t is shown later in this section. The following a gencies are being asked to participate in the Social Services Program. These are as follows: Atlanta ,\dolescent Pregnancy Project ~tlanta Public School System Services for Exceptional Children Atlanta Univer sity Departme nt of Psychology Atlanta Unive rsity School of Social Work Big Br other s Carrie Stee l e Pitts Home Catholi c Family Se rvices Children's Center of Metropolitan l'..tlanta Clark College Department of Psychology Corrnnuni t y Services for the Blind DeKalb Child Guidance Ce nter Department of Health , Educa tion a nd We lfare Soci a l & Reh abi litation Se rvi ces Emor y University Comprehe ns i ve Heal t h Center Emoty Univers i ty Hospita l De par tment of Psychiatry Emor y Universi ty De par t ment of Psychology Fami l y Couns e l ing Center Fl ore nce Crittenton Home Fulton County Family & Childr en Serv ices De par t ment Ful ton County Departme n t of He a l t h Ful t on County Me dica l Socie t y Georgia State Co lle ge Department of Psychology Gate City Day Nur ser y As sociation Grady-Emory M&I Project Hillside Cot t a s es Jewish Family & Ch i ldren's Services Morehouse Colle ge Department of Psychol ogy Morris Brown Department of Psycho l ogy Oglethorpe College Department of Psychology Protestant Welfare & Social Services, Inc. - 70- �-71- Salvation lttmy Comprehensive Counseling Center Spplman College Department of Psychology Suicide Prevention & Psychiatric Emergency Center Traveler's f.i.d Veteran I s /i.dministration Georgia Mental Health Institute YOUTH COUNSELING Wt1.LK-IN CENTER Introduction and Background The Social Service Sub-committee of the Youth Opportunity Program proposes the establishment of a demonstration pilot project. a "Youth Counseling Walk-In Center. " This project will be This center will provide supportive and therapeutic services to adolescents a ge 13 and over who are trying to adjust to problems of living . It would also provide a forum mechanism for a gency re- presentatives to share experiences and creative ideas about how total available resources might best be related to existing human needs i n this area of int er e st. There are four basic reasons why such a center is proposed. These are : 1. The limited services ava ilable to aid troubling and t r oubled yout h in s pi te of the myriad of resources which do not provide s erv ices on an immedi ate basis . 2. The intake and processing requirement s of tradi t ional casework a nd psychiatric a s encies tend t o divert youth f r om part i cipa t i on and t o f al l short of t he need . 3. The selection and utilization of appropriate services tend to be a significant prob l em. 4. The general shortage of personnel and funds available to help youth in this manner. 1. To provide you th , 13 and over with i ndividual and group s ervices. 2. To provide troubled and troubling youth with help for problems of s ocial and personal adjustment. 3. To provide the testing and evaluative services necessary for further referral where indicated. Objectives �l -724. To provide '"!ffective help in a crisis ituation. 5. To find an<l involve volunteer and professional loan staff from agencies and individuals who will provide professional and meaningful purposeful relationshi~s with youth. 6. To provide consultative service to agencicn working with troubled youth. Operational Procedure This a gency wi 11 be open from 11: 00 ! •. M. - 8: 00 P. M. with professional and volunteer staff. Youth will be notified of the center's operation by news media, neighbors, friends and other agencies in the Youth Opportunity Program, teachers and ministers that such a service is availab le and where it is located. The basic philos ophy of this program will be similar to the "crisis" concept~ Therefore, professionals will be functioning with clients in a non- traditional role. The intake process will be minimized. nt the center, incoming youth will go to or be met by an intake worker whose only function would be refer ring you t h to an available staff person re gardless of professional status, to dis cuss his prob l ems. Identifying informat i on would be obtained during the intervi ew at the worke r's discret i on, If necessary other s t aff will be ut i l ize d f or consultative purposes and f urther dia gnosis and treatmen t . The professional will be r ead i l y avail ab l e to addres s h i mself to t he urgent c oncern of the moment with a view toward an appropria te s ol ution . The proj e ct wi l l provide consulta tive services to a ge nc ies calling t he cente r and asking for help wi t h troubled youth they have identif i e d. Any youth or group e nte r i ng the center wil l be s erv ice d. The re will be in-service training, case confer ence, sues t s peakers and dis cussion of current problems that promote inter-ra cial and inter-cultural under s tanding as worked out with staff. �-73It is hoped that this project will generate the interest and enthusiasm of the agencies in the community so that it would operate on a year-round basis. However, at the end of the summer should this project not be ongoing , the operating a gencies will assume responsibility for absorption of cases needing continuing follow-up. Evaluation This project will be evaluated at the end of the summer. Location The center will be located at the Trinity United Methodist Church at 165 Washington Street, S. W., Atlanta, Geor3ia. Staff One professional staff person will be hired (or borrowed) to direct the project. The responsibilities and duties of this director will be: 1. To schedule and coordinate the loan and volunteer staff. 2. To assist in the training of non-professionals. 3. To develop interpretive and in-service training material for staff , organizations and volunteers; 4. To maintain offi ce reports) records , etc. and provide 0eneral administrative and supervisory 3uidance f or the staff of the project. 5. To recruit staff r e placements from existing a gencies in the community. The remainder of the staff would be loaned to the pr oject by participatine a gencies and would constitute a multi disci plinary treatment staff. ~ddi tional staff would be constituted of volunteer pr ofess i ona l s who have a gree d t o pr ovide dir ect ser vices to the pr oject. Many of t hese voluntee r s would be persons whose nor mal day~ t o- day a ctivi t i es might be administrative , s upervisory , c onsu ltative etc . from the various fie lds of priva t e practice. Vo l unteers would a ls o come The project will also provide volunteer non~profe s sional who possibly have no other skill than providinc a �-74warm friendship and general support to this project.

The manpower needed to carry out the many activities in this program is too numerous to be obtained from the limited funds available. Therefore, a vigorous effort is underway to obtain the necessary volunteers far the 1969 Youth Opportunity Program. The major sources of volunteers are EO/... (Start Now Atlanta Program), The Community Council of the Atlanta Area, The Red Cross, The Junior Chamber of Commerce, The Federal Executive Board, The Atlanta Urban League, The Atlanta Chapter of the League of Women Voters, The Women's Chamber of Commerce and the Garrison Company, Fort McPherson. The Volunteer Sub-Committee of the YOP ha s approached the established volunteer resources be used upon request to assist agencies participating in the YOP. The following agencies h ave a greed to do so: The Red Cross, Chamber of Corranerce, League of Women Voters, Fort McPherson , Junior Chamber of Commerce, Federa l Executive Board, Atlanta Ur ban Le ague and the Community Council. The re are s eve r al other non-establishe d volunteer resources which are being cont a cted f or input i nto the YOP. The se resour ce s i nclude the Wal k-In Vo luntee r, Churche s , Stude nt groups, a nd c olle ge s. Special effort s are being made to e ngender more b l ack adul t and youth vol unteers. The mos t acute prob l em in 1968 was a cent ra l coordination and dispatching office to carry out coordination for a day to day and week to week basis. This year, the YOP effort will, hopefully, eliminate this problem by hiring 2 or 3 Urban Corp interns to operate a central volunteer office for the YOP. - 77- �-78- The specific duties of the interns will be: 1. 2: To provide Central coordination for the YOP Volunteer Program; To compile and codify the volunteer resources and needs for agencies and groups participating in the YOP; 3. To take calls on a day-to-day basis for volunteers; 4. To dispatch appropriate volunteers to groups and user agencies. Hopefully, the ~enter will become operative by June 10, 1969. The Fulton County Medical Society will provide free physical examinations for poor youth who might need them to go to camp. The Metropolitan Commission on Crime and Delinquency is engendering financial support for special surrnner programs. The ntlanta Youth Congrens will contacy youth and urge them to serve as volunteers in the YOP. �TRL\NSPORTATION Mr. Robert M. Wood - Chairman One of the most serious problems encountered in the Youth Opportunity Prosram during the surrnner of 1968 was the lack of adequate transportation resources and facilities. The same problem remains for 1969. In efforts to overcome anticipated problems around transportation a special task force is workins to obtain special transportation for the 1969 Youth Opportunity Program. The Transportation Task Force has contacted several individual bus owners and the transportation companies asking them to provide special transportation at no cost or reduced rates for Youth Opportunity Activities. No positive responses to the request have been received to date.

Atlanta Richmond Tampa New York YOUTH OPPORTUNITY COUNCIL Review of Public Service Material Available . THEME The theme for the 1969 campaign is "Make Your Summer Count." This has been adapted in a number of ways for use in print and broadcast materials, as outlined below. TELEVISION Three television spots have been filmed featuring the Atlanta Braves' Sonny Jackson. Basic copy approach is to impress upon Atlanta youth the fact that there are a multitude of activities available. We anticipate featuring a telephone number in each spot, giving the hours when the number can be reached, in an effort to encourage kids to get information fwiedaatedin” The 10-second spot will feature Sonny Jackson, the telephone number, and the "Make Your Summer Count" logo. We will also prepare a 20-second spot with the same basic elements. We are hopeful of preparing a 30-second television spot which will also feature newsclips of some of the activities taking place last year in con- junction with Sonny Jackson. Cg ite Neal Battle & Lindsey, INC. atanta richmond Tampa New York 2D.

Atlaota R;chmood Tampa NewYo,k YOUTH OPPORTUNITY CDUNCIL Review of Public Service Material Available THEME The theme for the 1969 campaign is "Make Your Summer Count." This has been adapted in a number of ways for use in print and broadcast materials, as outlined below, TELEVISION Three television spots have been filmed featuring the Atlanta Braves' Sonny Jackson. Ba s ic copy approach i s to impress upon Atlanta youth the fact that ther e ar e a multi tude of activiti e s avail abl e . We anticipate featuring a telephone number in each spot, giving the hours when the number can be reach ed ; in an effort to encourage kid s t o get infor mat i on immediate ly. The 1O-second spot will feature Sonnr Jackson, the tel ephone number , and the "Make Your Summer Count" logo. We will also prepare a 2O-second spot wi th the same basic elements. We are hopeful of preparing a 3O-second television spot which will also fea t ure news6l ips of some of the activi t ies t aking pl ace l ast year in co njunction with Sonny Jackson. �• ~ Liller Neal Battle & Lindsey, Inc. Atlaota Richmood Tampa New Yo,k - 2 - ' Station I.D.'s will be made available to each of the four Atlanta tele~ision stations. While no definite commitment can be made by any of the stations as to the use of tHe I.D.'s or the television spots, Liller Neal Battle & Lindsey will be contacting station representatives to outline the program and elicit whatever commitment can be made by the stations. Liller Neal Battle & Lindsey will also be following up with stations in this area. RADIO A musical jingle has been prepared for use by Atlanta area radio -stations. The basis of these radio spots is the theme set to music with a 45-second music-under segment. Information from various agencies will be funneled into John Cox's office, well in advance, and this will be condensed and sent to cooperating radio stations at · least one week in advance of all activities. The stations will then promote these various activities in conjunction with the musical jingle •. These will be rotated through their schedules, and hopefully, a majority of the activities will be promoted on the air each week. There is also a shorter version of this musical jingle which will be used in the same manner. A very brief "radio I.D. will also be supplied to the stations which will simply be the theme itself, At the outset of the radio campaign, Liller Neal Battle & will also be contacting radio stations to outline the program. Lindsey �~ Liller Neal Battle & Lindsey, Inc. '"'" R;chmoad Tampa New Yock - 3 - Copy will be supplied to radio stations by Liller Neal Battle & Lindsey to be used in conjunction with the theme and the announcements at the outset of the program. This will be done in an effort to apprise listeners of the. programmed announcements throughout the summer, indicating to them that the theme and the music mean now is the time to listen for upcoming activities. It is extremely important that all agencies cooperate in this effort by channeling information into John Cox's office well ahead of time. Stations are deluged with requests to promote activities (for example, WSB-TV actually promoted well over 350 different public service organizations in the last year). The agency will be promoting the fact to individual radio and television stations that this weekly run-down from John Cox's office will cover a majority of activities taking place throughout the summer. There is no question but that each of the various agencies involved can benefit tremendously from this overall effort. NEWSPAPER We are now preparing recommended public service newspaper ads for various publications in the metro Atlanta area. This will be basically broken down into two communications objectives. The first will be to reach the parents of children who can participate in the many programs and the children themselves. Secondly, there will be messages directed to the entire community indicating that Atlanta does care, there are a multitude of programs going on during the summer, and that there are many ways that the average citizen can cooperate in making the programs an even bigger success. �- r- ~ Liller Neal Battle & Lindsey, Inc. Atlanta Richmond Tampa New York - 4 - All print advertising will carry the "Make Your Summer Count" logo, and these logos are now available to the various agencies participating in the program for use in their own materials. �NOW NEWSFROM VI C E PRESJDEMT SPIRO T .

Summary �GENERAL INTRODUCTION In 1968, The City of Atlanta, Economic Opportunity Atlanta, Inc., The Community Chest and several other private and public agencies and organizations sponsored a Youth Opportunity Program. More than 65 agencies and •rganizations participated in this program (See Attachment 1). The overall objectives cf the Youth Opportunity Program are to provide needed services to the poor, unemployed, socially retarded, culturally deprived and academically delinquent youth in the Metropolitan Atlanta Area. The majer efforts of the Youth Opportunity Program are aimed at eliminating these conditinns. Through the outstanding efforts and accomplishments of EOA, The City of Atlanta, The FEB, The Community Chest and several other agencies and organizations, the 1968 YOP yie lded the foll owing: 1. 14,990 youth attended sunnner school; 2. 3,000 youth received special remedial aid; 3. 1,400 youth received special tutorial help ; 4. 2,500 youth were contacted and urged to return to school ; 5. 1,500 youth participated in enrichment programs ; 6. 5,000 youth participated in Fine Arts prcgrams and activities ; 7. 525,000 youth par ticipated in Recreational Programs ; 8. 1,100 federa l employees volunteered to hel p in the YOP; 9. 20,000 youth participated in camping activities ; 10. Private businesses donated $237,000 in cash, equipment or services to the YOP. Although the 1968 YOP wa s a general succe ss, some gaps and omissions did oc cur. These were identifie d as follows : �-21. Recreation activities for youth ages 16-21 were virtually non-existent; 2. Ge nerally, no programs operated on week-ends; 3. Several agencies and organizations did not fulfill their employment commitments for poor youth; 4. Coordination and communication between some agencies were generally lacking; 5. The location of programs was widespread. However, areas such :1s Capitol Homes, Blair Village, Hentown, StewartLakewood, Cabbagetown, Mill Village, Knight Park, Adamsville, Mechanicsville, Peopletown, Joyland, Blue Heaven, Bush Mountain and Bass received little or no program input; 6. Resident camping opportunities for poor youth were woefully lacking ; 7. The more attractive and de sirable special eve nts resources were not enough to meet the need; 8. Tr ansportation remained a serious and difficult problem to deal with. The s e we r e the major problems which occurre d during the 1968 YOP. �PL..:\NNING 1969 In December, 1968, Vice President Hubert llumphrey sent a telegram to Mayor Ivan Allen, Jr. i :::.r:!ic c. tin:: that federal funds will be provided to the City of Atlanta for YOP Planning.

In order to prevent the scarcity of camping opportunities for poor youth from reoccuring in 1969, a Camping Sub-Committee was created in January, 1969 to deal with the problem of resident camping opportunities and cnmperships for poor youth. The camping sub-committee has sent camping questionnaires to all groups which operate resident and/or day camps. The purpose of the question- naire is to find out how agencies utilize their camps and camperships to benefit poor youth. Several of the agencies have indicated that they will provide camping opportunities for poor youth.

Morehouse College Morehouse College has received a grant of $100,000 from the Field Foundation according to a recent announcement made by Dr. Hugh M. Gloster, President of the college. This special grant was made in Memory of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., an alumnus of Morehouse, for the purpose of relating the College to problems of the inner city of Atlanta. Dr. Gloster said that the Field grant will support a second phase of Project CURE which was begun by Morehouse last summer. Phase I was supported by $50,000 grant from Morehouse Board Chairman, Charles Merrill. Last summer's program included projects in early childhood development and enrichment, youth development and enrichment, leadership training and dvelopment, basic and continuing adult education, and citizenship e duca tion. The entire program was enthusiastically r eceived by citize·ns of the inner city; and the citizens Neighborhood f~dvisory Counnittee, Northt11est Perry Homes Center, pr esented cita tions to the project director and assistant director for their work. The citations "For Out-standing Services, Summer 1968" were presented at a dinner honoring the recipients. Dr. Anna Grant, professor of ,sociology at Morehouse , who ser ved a s direc t or of Project CURE said, "I thi nk not hing could be mor e indicative of the r e a l success of our pr ogram than the f act tha t this gesture of appre ciation was ma de by t he people we we r e t rying to s erve ." The youth deve lopmen t and enrichment pr ogram, in,wh ich Morehouse and Spelman students served a s tut ors t o inne r city youth and a s campions and tutors to court-adjudged juvenile de l inquents has continued throughout the fall and winter despite the fact that funds were no longer available. �-53Phase II of Project CURE, which will also be directed by Dr. Grant, will operate an entire year -- June 1, 1969 through May 31, 1970 -- with the funds provided by the Field Foundation and will include two components -- a Resources Information Exchanee and an Economic Resources Development. The purpose of the Resources Information Exchange will be to provide residents of the inner city with knowledge about the many services offered by both public agencie~ and provate asencies which some persons might need but do not know about. The exchange will also study the responsiveness of the various agencies to the real needs of the people. The Central Information Exchange, housed on the Morehouse campus, will operate on a 24 hour basis; Neighborhood Information Centers will operate out of accessible area offices; and certain "natural leaders" in each neighborhood will be selected by their neighbors to serve as Home Informat i on Officers. �/ .tiR.TS Mrs. Rhodes Perdue, ft. - Chairman Hr3. !-I arold Barrett - Co-Chairman An Arts Sub-Committee has been formed and is working to secure opportunities and activities for disadvantaged youth in the Fine Arts.

EOA Creative ~tlanta Pror,rarn The Creative Atla nta pro ject is to deve lop a cenuine i n terest i n the creative arts at the grass root level of the va rious neighborhood s e rvice centers this sunrrner. Based on the limited funds available, the following are contemplated: 1. Music -- Mr. John B. Lawhorn to instruct a group of volunteers on his revoluntionary method to teach music to people who had no previous knowledge· of music. These volunteers have agreed to teach twice a week at our ne ighbor hood s e rvice c ent e rs, (15-20). 2. Drama -- I personally, with the a ssista nce of three dramn students of Atla nta University Center will a rrange Crea tive Drama Workshops to be held weekly a t the v~ri0us neighborhood service centers. 3. Arts -- A professional artist of the Art Department of Atla nta University Ce nter will supervise students a nd volunteers to work in painting sculpture, ceramics, etc., a t the neighborhood service centers on a weekly basi~. 4. Creative Da nce -- A professional dances has been contacted to arrange c rea tive dance workshops i n two to three ne i ghborhood centers weekly. 5. Specia l visits Plans a re made t o arrange for visits by prominent ar tists to the ce nters. 6. Performance s - - In cooperation with the Parks and Re c reation De partment of the City of n t l a nta, performances will be scheduled by dance theater s roups to petform on t he Showmobile in various areas of the inner city. 7. Additional workshops -- Incorporated with the staff of Parks and Recreation, City of ~tlanta, add itional worksho p on Ar ts and Crafts, photography, etc. At our neighborhood service centers so f ar as the budget is concerned, we have been a ssured that the administration of Spelman College will pay t he �-60- amount of $1.50 per hour for a 40 hour week for 10 Spelman students on a weekly basis. This oeans practically that Spelman College will pay $1.20 from its own funds but $. 30 will have to be contributed by EO.:\ to Spelman. I was assured by the administra tion that we could have, be ginnins the first of September, twenty students on a 15 hour basis workinc for a full y0ar on the same financial arrangement. �-61- Eastern Music Festival -- Special Summer Program -- Cultural Enrichment Program I.

(a) Persons in the poverty community, particularly youngsters, seldom if ever have the opportunity to become aware of or take part in the creative process entailed in the performing arts. (b) The objectives are to offer the opportunity to the youngsters involved for specialized instrumental training and understanding in symphonic music performance. Also to brine the achievements of these youngsters to the total corrnnunity at various times during the year in the follow-up program. · Benefits include strong job training possibilities for the youngsters and a strong de gree of pride to the poverty cormnunity when the achievements of the youngsters are brou3ht, through cbncerts, to their attention. In addition, it is hoped that the prevailing attitudes which most in the poverty community have toward the performance of classical music, and in particular to those participants in classical music, will be altered. (c) The performing ar ts have long been one of the few job • areas completely open to those in t he ghetto, and symphony orchestra s alarie s in this country are, for the first time , paying living wages to musicians. There is also an extreme scarcity of quali fie d string players being t raine d in the country today, and it is planned that many of the youngsters select e d for this program would be students who play s tring instruments. ~lso, the opportunities available to the active participant and the viewer of the arts has simply not been available to the poverty corrnnunity. The kind of achievement that was made �-64- by the youngsters selected for a similar prosram sponsored by EOPI in Miami last year has astounded the connnunity there and has provided the young participants in the program with an enormous degree of inspiration and enducement to continue, through whatever means possible, to achieve in this area. II. proper. (.a) Fifty youne;sters will take part in the Festival program As many as 40 educators, cormnunity leaders, etc. will be involved directly in the recruitment program. The number of persons in the poverty community who will be involved in the follow-up program is unlimited. (b) Judging from the experience with EOPI in Miami, approximately 25%. (c) Each CM will assign one staff member to be responsible for recruiting in the community. A recruitment conunittee, consisting of community residents, will be established and information about the program will be made available to all students who participate in the public school music programs in poverty areas. There will be a series of three open audit.i ons in each com- munity after the completion of which participants will be selected. (d) Ten students will be selected from each of five cities. The ones selected will be those who display the greatest degree of proficiency at the t i me along with potential. The cost of the unique factors involved in training young musicians (the younger the better ) in order to develop proper physical coordination (the program wil l be limited to students 16 and under). III. (a) OEO sponsored students will participate, along with double their number fr om other geographic areas and environs, in the Eastern Festival program. This includes participation in a student orchestra, chamber music ensemble, provide lessons taught by professional performers from major American orchestras, master classes, bi~weekly concerts, and various recreational activities. �-65(b) In past years, the Festival has maintained two student orchestras of equal ability. and a training orchestra. This year there will be an advanced orchestra While certainly some of the OEO students will qualify for the advanced orchestra (some of the EOPI students last year were among our finest talents), we feel it i s of 3reat importance to provide leadership possibilities in a trainin3 orchestra for some of those who other- wise would be relegated to ba ck-of-the-section positions in an orchestra that is too advanced for them to realize a meaningful educational experience. (c) The Eastern Festival program is one in which professional a l performer/teacher and student wor k to5ether in a curriculum that is geared to performance. In addition to their own performances, students regularly hear concerts by the professionals. The Festival is nationally recognized as one of the major i nstitutions of its kind in the coun t!Y• (d ) See (b) above. (e ) Does not ap ply.

The s t uden t s wi ll pre s ent a series of order l y concerts at various connnunity centers, t o disp l ay t o themse lve s and to the total community their achievements. The r es ponsibility for presenting these programs will obviously demand serious practice during the year by the participants . (g) Other members of the participants' families will be involved in much the same way as the rest of the community. (h) The Festival has a long-time contract with Guilford College whose total facilities are made available each summer. located on the outskirts of Greensboro, North Carolina. Guilford College is �-66(i) Trans portation from the participants' home to the , stival and return is included as a part of the budget. (j) A clothing allocation for participants is included as a part of the bud get, as is spending money which is to be used for instrumental needs such as reeds, rosin and some music, in addition to laundry and drug store items. (k) We foresee no problems in carrying out the program this year, in light of what we learned from our experience last sunnner with EOPI. (1) There will be no change. We would not for this season want a larger number students, and a smaller number of students would on ly mean that we would admit that many more applicants. IV . (a) The policy advisor y groups i n each city will a ct on and be respons i ble for a ll matters pertaining to the ex tensive recruitment program, descri bed in II (c) above. (b ) Persons who have es tablished themselves as leaders in var ious aspe c t s of connnunity l i fe wi ll be selec t ed . (c ) The recruitment procedur e and the follow- up program are, to a larger ex t ent, t he i deas given to us by t hos e target area r es idents who par t i c ipated in t he EOPI program l a s t sunnner. (d ) The target area resident s' influence on the pr ogram will be demonstrated by their attempt s at, and reaction t o , the concerts gi ven in the follow-up program. (e) Target area groups and neighborhood organizations will have repre sentative s on the recruitment committee. V. (a) Each CM will de si gnate one staff member to be responsible for administrative detail work in the program. This person obviously would be more aware of prevailing conditions and attitudes within the connnunity than would a Festival r epresentative. �-67(b) The Eastern Festival staff is limited to professional per- forming musicians and some conservatory graduate students. Selection is by audition and personal interview. ~pproximately 50% of the Festival faculty and staff have had one or more years association with the Festival.

(a) Checkpoint procedures are as follows (please refer to copy of original proposa l attached for more complete understanding): 1) The project coordinators from each of the 5 cities visited Gr eensbor o on March 29, 1969. They were shown the complete faci l ities followed by a group dis cuss i on r ela t ed to a ll aspects of this project (refer to Checkpoint Form 1 a t tached for agenda). Audition dates were determined as indicated on Checkpoint Form 2. 2) The Pre Initial Audition Form (a tta ched) was sent to each project coordinator ( these forms will be submitted as they are made available). 3) The Final Audition in each city wil l be attended by Eastern Music Festival representative who will serve as the checkpoint at that stage. 4) From the time of the final auditions to the date of the actual Festival season, various checkpoints will be employed. These checkpoints will consist of various forms such as to determine student's poverty eligibility, �-68- .parental approval forms, and re3ular information which the Festival sends to all of its students. 5) Durin3 the actual season, the OEO students will be under the cuidance and direct supervision of our complete faculty and staff. In addition, we have employed a Dean of the Festival whose General responsibility will be in the area of student -- faculty/staff relations, but whose specific job will involve any special problems (none anticipated) which occur with OEO students. nlso, re3Ular faculty/staff administration meetings are scheduled to discuss all student matters. 6) After the Festival season , checkpoints will consist of regular questionnaires, yet to be determines, by the Eastern Music Festival sta ff as well as t he individual c:.J..' s . 7) Finally, the checkpoints will consist of workin3 with these students by means of quarterly workshops. The exact procedures and form of these workshops is impossible to be de termined a t this point. (b) None (c) None (d ) None (e) Rather than s i mply making available fr om time to time in- school concerts, plays , etc. by profes s i onal 3roups who have no direct relationship with students or the connnunity, it is hoped that youn3sters directly involved and the total corrnnunity will become aware of the possibilities for careers in the performin3 cla~sical arts.

Social Services Sub-Corrnnittee has been established. The connnittee is attempting to draw together all of the casework and counseling a 3encies as well as concerned individuals and churches in an effort to provide a "Walk-in Counseling Center." 1\. proposal for the Center has been developed , I t is shown later in this section. The following a gencies are being asked to participate in the Social Services Program. These are as follows: Atlanta ,\dolescent Pregnancy Project ~tlanta Public School System Services for Exceptional Children Atlanta Univer sity Departme nt of Psychology Atlanta Unive rsity School of Social Work Big Br other s Carrie Stee l e Pitts Home Catholi c Family Se rvices Children's Center of Metropolitan l'..tlanta Clark College Department of Psychology Corrnnuni t y Services for the Blind DeKalb Child Guidance Ce nter Department of Health , Educa tion a nd We lfare Soci a l & Reh abi litation Se rvi ces Emor y University Comprehe ns i ve Heal t h Center Emoty Univers i ty Hospita l De par tment of Psychiatry Emor y Universi ty De par t ment of Psychology Fami l y Couns e l ing Center Fl ore nce Crittenton Home Fulton County Family & Childr en Serv ices De par t ment Ful ton County Departme n t of He a l t h Ful t on County Me dica l Socie t y Georgia State Co lle ge Department of Psychology Gate City Day Nur ser y As sociation Grady-Emory M&I Project Hillside Cot t a s es Jewish Family & Ch i ldren's Services Morehouse Colle ge Department of Psychol ogy Morris Brown Department of Psycho l ogy Oglethorpe College Department of Psychology Protestant Welfare & Social Services, Inc. - 70- �-71- Salvation lttmy Comprehensive Counseling Center Spplman College Department of Psychology Suicide Prevention & Psychiatric Emergency Center Traveler's f.i.d Veteran I s /i.dministration Georgia Mental Health Institute YOUTH COUNSELING Wt1.LK-IN CENTER Introduction and Background The Social Service Sub-committee of the Youth Opportunity Program proposes the establishment of a demonstration pilot project. a "Youth Counseling Walk-In Center. " This project will be This center will provide supportive and therapeutic services to adolescents a ge 13 and over who are trying to adjust to problems of living . It would also provide a forum mechanism for a gency re- presentatives to share experiences and creative ideas about how total available resources might best be related to existing human needs i n this area of int er e st. There are four basic reasons why such a center is proposed. These are : 1. The limited services ava ilable to aid troubling and t r oubled yout h in s pi te of the myriad of resources which do not provide s erv ices on an immedi ate basis . 2. The intake and processing requirement s of tradi t ional casework a nd psychiatric a s encies tend t o divert youth f r om part i cipa t i on and t o f al l short of t he need . 3. The selection and utilization of appropriate services tend to be a significant prob l em. 4. The general shortage of personnel and funds available to help youth in this manner. 1. To provide you th , 13 and over with i ndividual and group s ervices. 2. To provide troubled and troubling youth with help for problems of s ocial and personal adjustment. 3. To provide the testing and evaluative services necessary for further referral where indicated. Objectives �l -724. To provide '"!ffective help in a crisis ituation. 5. To find an<l involve volunteer and professional loan staff from agencies and individuals who will provide professional and meaningful purposeful relationshi~s with youth. 6. To provide consultative service to agencicn working with troubled youth. Operational Procedure This a gency wi 11 be open from 11: 00 ! •. M. - 8: 00 P. M. with professional and volunteer staff. Youth will be notified of the center's operation by news media, neighbors, friends and other agencies in the Youth Opportunity Program, teachers and ministers that such a service is availab le and where it is located. The basic philos ophy of this program will be similar to the "crisis" concept~ Therefore, professionals will be functioning with clients in a non- traditional role. The intake process will be minimized. nt the center, incoming youth will go to or be met by an intake worker whose only function would be refer ring you t h to an available staff person re gardless of professional status, to dis cuss his prob l ems. Identifying informat i on would be obtained during the intervi ew at the worke r's discret i on, If necessary other s t aff will be ut i l ize d f or consultative purposes and f urther dia gnosis and treatmen t . The professional will be r ead i l y avail ab l e to addres s h i mself to t he urgent c oncern of the moment with a view toward an appropria te s ol ution . The proj e ct wi l l provide consulta tive services to a ge nc ies calling t he cente r and asking for help wi t h troubled youth they have identif i e d. Any youth or group e nte r i ng the center wil l be s erv ice d. The re will be in-service training, case confer ence, sues t s peakers and dis cussion of current problems that promote inter-ra cial and inter-cultural under s tanding as worked out with staff. �-73It is hoped that this project will generate the interest and enthusiasm of the agencies in the community so that it would operate on a year-round basis. However, at the end of the summer should this project not be ongoing , the operating a gencies will assume responsibility for absorption of cases needing continuing follow-up. Evaluation This project will be evaluated at the end of the summer. Location The center will be located at the Trinity United Methodist Church at 165 Washington Street, S. W., Atlanta, Geor3ia. Staff One professional staff person will be hired (or borrowed) to direct the project. The responsibilities and duties of this director will be: 1. To schedule and coordinate the loan and volunteer staff. 2. To assist in the training of non-professionals. 3. To develop interpretive and in-service training material for staff , organizations and volunteers; 4. To maintain offi ce reports) records , etc. and provide 0eneral administrative and supervisory 3uidance f or the staff of the project. 5. To recruit staff r e placements from existing a gencies in the community. The remainder of the staff would be loaned to the pr oject by participatine a gencies and would constitute a multi disci plinary treatment staff. ~ddi tional staff would be constituted of volunteer pr ofess i ona l s who have a gree d t o pr ovide dir ect ser vices to the pr oject. Many of t hese voluntee r s would be persons whose nor mal day~ t o- day a ctivi t i es might be administrative , s upervisory , c onsu ltative etc . from the various fie lds of priva t e practice. Vo l unteers would a ls o come The project will also provide volunteer non~profe s sional who possibly have no other skill than providinc a �-74warm friendship and general support to this project.

The manpower needed to carry out the many activities in this program is too numerous to be obtained from the limited funds available. Therefore, a vigorous effort is underway to obtain the necessary volunteers far the 1969 Youth Opportunity Program. The major sources of volunteers are EO/... (Start Now Atlanta Program), The Community Council of the Atlanta Area, The Red Cross, The Junior Chamber of Commerce, The Federal Executive Board, The Atlanta Urban League, The Atlanta Chapter of the League of Women Voters, The Women's Chamber of Commerce and the Garrison Company, Fort McPherson. The Volunteer Sub-Committee of the YOP ha s approached the established volunteer resources be used upon request to assist agencies participating in the YOP. The following agencies h ave a greed to do so: The Red Cross, Chamber of Corranerce, League of Women Voters, Fort McPherson , Junior Chamber of Commerce, Federa l Executive Board, Atlanta Ur ban Le ague and the Community Council. The re are s eve r al other non-establishe d volunteer resources which are being cont a cted f or input i nto the YOP. The se resour ce s i nclude the Wal k-In Vo luntee r, Churche s , Stude nt groups, a nd c olle ge s. Special effort s are being made to e ngender more b l ack adul t and youth vol unteers. The mos t acute prob l em in 1968 was a cent ra l coordination and dispatching office to carry out coordination for a day to day and week to week basis. This year, the YOP effort will, hopefully, eliminate this problem by hiring 2 or 3 Urban Corp interns to operate a central volunteer office for the YOP. - 77- �-78- The specific duties of the interns will be: 1. 2: To provide Central coordination for the YOP Volunteer Program; To compile and codify the volunteer resources and needs for agencies and groups participating in the YOP; 3. To take calls on a day-to-day basis for volunteers; 4. To dispatch appropriate volunteers to groups and user agencies. Hopefully, the ~enter will become operative by June 10, 1969. The Fulton County Medical Society will provide free physical examinations for poor youth who might need them to go to camp. The Metropolitan Commission on Crime and Delinquency is engendering financial support for special surrnner programs. The ntlanta Youth Congrens will contacy youth and urge them to serve as volunteers in the YOP. �TRL\NSPORTATION Mr. Robert M. Wood - Chairman One of the most serious problems encountered in the Youth Opportunity Prosram during the surrnner of 1968 was the lack of adequate transportation resources and facilities. The same problem remains for 1969. In efforts to overcome anticipated problems around transportation a special task force is workins to obtain special transportation for the 1969 Youth Opportunity Program. The Transportation Task Force has contacted several individual bus owners and the transportation companies asking them to provide special transportation at no cost or reduced rates for Youth Opportunity Activities. No positive responses to the request have been received to date. In lieu of the limited response from tpe various transportation companies, the task lorce sugce sted that transportation for the Youth Opportunity Program be centralized. All of the major a gencies were contacted and asked if they would establish a joint transportation pool. EOA and the Atlanta Parks and Recreation Department have a greed to share their resources in order to establish a central transportation pool. The transportation pool wil l provide: 1. ~ 2. Singular cont act with the Atlanta Tr ansit Company. 3. Key transportat ion con tacts in the major a gencies. 4. Identification s ystems for buse s and youth. 5. The neces s ary machinery for dea l ing with the transportation requests of ad hoc groups. 6. A hired dispatcher to deal exclusively with scheduling and other transportation matter s . centralized dis patching office. - 79- �SPECIAL PROGRAfIB POLICE DEPARTMENT The Atlanta Police Depa r t ment will provide a Crime Prevention Officer in each EOA Neighborhood Service Center in the city. These officers will work closely with the City Services Coordinator s, EOA per sonne l, community orga ni zations and indiv idua ls to· e liminate potential problem are a s .

Atlaota R;chmood Tampa NewYo,k YOUTH OPPORTUNITY CDUNCIL Review of Public Service Material Available THEME The theme for the 1969 campaign is "Make Your Summer Count." This has been adapted in a number of ways for use in print and broadcast materials, as outlined below, TELEVISION Three television spots have been filmed featuring the Atlanta Braves' Sonny Jackson. Ba s ic copy approach i s to impress upon Atlanta youth the fact that ther e ar e a multi tude of activiti e s avail abl e . We anticipate featuring a telephone number in each spot, giving the hours when the number can be reach ed ; in an effort to encourage kid s t o get infor mat i on immediate ly. The 1O-second spot will feature Sonnr Jackson, the tel ephone number , and the "Make Your Summer Count" logo. We will also prepare a 2O-second spot wi th the same basic elements. We are hopeful of preparing a 3O-second television spot which will also fea t ure news6l ips of some of the activi t ies t aking pl ace l ast year in co njunction with Sonny Jackson. �• ~ Liller Neal Battle & Lindsey, Inc. Atlaota Richmood Tampa New Yo,k - 2 - ' Station I.D.'s will be made available to each of the four Atlanta tele~ision stations. While no definite commitment can be made by any of the stations as to the use of tHe I.D.'s or the television spots, Liller Neal Battle & Lindsey will be contacting station representatives to outline the program and elicit whatever commitment can be made by the stations. Liller Neal Battle & Lindsey will also be following up with stations in this area. RADIO A musical jingle has been prepared for use by Atlanta area radio -stations. The basis of these radio spots is the theme set to music with a 45-second music-under segment. Information from various agencies will be funneled into John Cox's office, well in advance, and this will be condensed and sent to cooperating radio stations at · least one week in advance of all activities. The stations will then promote these various activities in conjunction with the musical jingle •. These will be rotated through their schedules, and hopefully, a majority of the activities will be promoted on the air each week. There is also a shorter version of this musical jingle which will be used in the same manner. A very brief "radio I.D. will also be supplied to the stations which will simply be the theme itself, At the outset of the radio campaign, Liller Neal Battle & will also be contacting radio stations to outline the program. Lindsey �~ Liller Neal Battle & Lindsey, Inc. '"'" R;chmoad Tampa New Yock - 3 - Copy will be supplied to radio stations by Liller Neal Battle & Lindsey to be used in conjunction with the theme and the announcements at the outset of the program. This will be done in an effort to apprise listeners of the. programmed announcements throughout the summer, indicating to them that the theme and the music mean now is the time to listen for upcoming activities. It is extremely important that all agencies cooperate in this effort by channeling information into John Cox's office well ahead of time. Stations are deluged with requests to promote activities (for example, WSB-TV actually promoted well over 350 different public service organizations in the last year). The agency will be promoting the fact to individual radio and television stations that this weekly run-down from John Cox's office will cover a majority of activities taking place throughout the summer. There is no question but that each of the various agencies involved can benefit tremendously from this overall effort. NEWSPAPER We are now preparing recommended public service newspaper ads for various publications in the metro Atlanta area. This will be basically broken down into two communications objectives. The first will be to reach the parents of children who can participate in the many programs and the children themselves. Secondly, there will be messages directed to the entire community indicating that Atlanta does care, there are a multitude of programs going on during the summer, and that there are many ways that the average citizen can cooperate in making the programs an even bigger success. �- r- ~ Liller Neal Battle & Lindsey, Inc. Atlanta Richmond Tampa New York - 4 - All print advertising will carry the "Make Your Summer Count" logo, and these logos are now available to the various agencies participating in the program for use in their own materials. �NOW NEWSFROM VI C E PRESJDEMT SPIRO T .

Summary �GENERAL INTRODUCTION In 1968, The City of Atlanta, Economic Opportunity Atlanta, Inc., The Community Chest and several other private and public agencies and organizations sponsored a Youth Opportunity Program. More than 65 agencies and •rganizations participated in this program (See Attachment 1). The overall objectives cf the Youth Opportunity Program are to provide needed services to the poor, unemployed, socially retarded, culturally deprived and academically delinquent youth in the Metropolitan Atlanta Area. The majer efforts of the Youth Opportunity Program are aimed at eliminating these conditinns. Through the outstanding efforts and accomplishments of EOA, The City of Atlanta, The FEB, The Community Chest and several other agencies and organizations, the 1968 YOP yie lded the foll owing: 1. 14,990 youth attended sunnner school; 2. 3,000 youth received special remedial aid; 3. 1,400 youth received special tutorial help ; 4. 2,500 youth were contacted and urged to return to school ; 5. 1,500 youth participated in enrichment programs ; 6. 5,000 youth participated in Fine Arts prcgrams and activities ; 7. 525,000 youth par ticipated in Recreational Programs ; 8. 1,100 federa l employees volunteered to hel p in the YOP; 9. 20,000 youth participated in camping activities ; 10. Private businesses donated $237,000 in cash, equipment or services to the YOP. Although the 1968 YOP wa s a general succe ss, some gaps and omissions did oc cur. These were identifie d as follows : �-21. Recreation activities for youth ages 16-21 were virtually non-existent; 2. Ge nerally, no programs operated on week-ends; 3. Several agencies and organizations did not fulfill their employment commitments for poor youth; 4. Coordination and communication between some agencies were generally lacking; 5. The location of programs was widespread. However, areas such :1s Capitol Homes, Blair Village, Hentown, StewartLakewood, Cabbagetown, Mill Village, Knight Park, Adamsville, Mechanicsville, Peopletown, Joyland, Blue Heaven, Bush Mountain and Bass received little or no program input; 6. Resident camping opportunities for poor youth were woefully lacking ; 7. The more attractive and de sirable special eve nts resources were not enough to meet the need; 8. Tr ansportation remained a serious and difficult problem to deal with. The s e we r e the major problems which occurre d during the 1968 YOP. �PL..:\NNING 1969 In December, 1968, Vice President Hubert llumphrey sent a telegram to Mayor Ivan Allen, Jr. i :::.r:!ic c. tin:: that federal funds will be provided to the City of Atlanta for YOP Planning.

In order to prevent the scarcity of camping opportunities for poor youth from reoccuring in 1969, a Camping Sub-Committee was created in January, 1969 to deal with the problem of resident camping opportunities and cnmperships for poor youth. The camping sub-committee has sent camping questionnaires to all groups which operate resident and/or day camps. The purpose of the question- naire is to find out how agencies utilize their camps and camperships to benefit poor youth. Several of the agencies have indicated that they will provide camping opportunities for poor youth.

Morehouse College Morehouse College has received a grant of $100,000 from the Field Foundation according to a recent announcement made by Dr. Hugh M. Gloster, President of the college. This special grant was made in Memory of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., an alumnus of Morehouse, for the purpose of relating the College to problems of the inner city of Atlanta. Dr. Gloster said that the Field grant will support a second phase of Project CURE which was begun by Morehouse last summer. Phase I was supported by $50,000 grant from Morehouse Board Chairman, Charles Merrill. Last summer's program included projects in early childhood development and enrichment, youth development and enrichment, leadership training and dvelopment, basic and continuing adult education, and citizenship e duca tion. The entire program was enthusiastically r eceived by citize·ns of the inner city; and the citizens Neighborhood f~dvisory Counnittee, Northt11est Perry Homes Center, pr esented cita tions to the project director and assistant director for their work. The citations "For Out-standing Services, Summer 1968" were presented at a dinner honoring the recipients. Dr. Anna Grant, professor of ,sociology at Morehouse , who ser ved a s direc t or of Project CURE said, "I thi nk not hing could be mor e indicative of the r e a l success of our pr ogram than the f act tha t this gesture of appre ciation was ma de by t he people we we r e t rying to s erve ." The youth deve lopmen t and enrichment pr ogram, in,wh ich Morehouse and Spelman students served a s tut ors t o inne r city youth and a s campions and tutors to court-adjudged juvenile de l inquents has continued throughout the fall and winter despite the fact that funds were no longer available. �-53Phase II of Project CURE, which will also be directed by Dr. Grant, will operate an entire year -- June 1, 1969 through May 31, 1970 -- with the funds provided by the Field Foundation and will include two components -- a Resources Information Exchanee and an Economic Resources Development. The purpose of the Resources Information Exchange will be to provide residents of the inner city with knowledge about the many services offered by both public agencie~ and provate asencies which some persons might need but do not know about. The exchange will also study the responsiveness of the various agencies to the real needs of the people. The Central Information Exchange, housed on the Morehouse campus, will operate on a 24 hour basis; Neighborhood Information Centers will operate out of accessible area offices; and certain "natural leaders" in each neighborhood will be selected by their neighbors to serve as Home Informat i on Officers. �/ .tiR.TS Mrs. Rhodes Perdue, ft. - Chairman Hr3. !-I arold Barrett - Co-Chairman An Arts Sub-Committee has been formed and is working to secure opportunities and activities for disadvantaged youth in the Fine Arts.

EOA Creative ~tlanta Pror,rarn The Creative Atla nta pro ject is to deve lop a cenuine i n terest i n the creative arts at the grass root level of the va rious neighborhood s e rvice centers this sunrrner. Based on the limited funds available, the following are contemplated: 1. Music -- Mr. John B. Lawhorn to instruct a group of volunteers on his revoluntionary method to teach music to people who had no previous knowledge· of music. These volunteers have agreed to teach twice a week at our ne ighbor hood s e rvice c ent e rs, (15-20). 2. Drama -- I personally, with the a ssista nce of three dramn students of Atla nta University Center will a rrange Crea tive Drama Workshops to be held weekly a t the v~ri0us neighborhood service centers. 3. Arts -- A professional artist of the Art Department of Atla nta University Ce nter will supervise students a nd volunteers to work in painting sculpture, ceramics, etc., a t the neighborhood service centers on a weekly basi~. 4. Creative Da nce -- A professional dances has been contacted to arrange c rea tive dance workshops i n two to three ne i ghborhood centers weekly. 5. Specia l visits Plans a re made t o arrange for visits by prominent ar tists to the ce nters. 6. Performance s - - In cooperation with the Parks and Re c reation De partment of the City of n t l a nta, performances will be scheduled by dance theater s roups to petform on t he Showmobile in various areas of the inner city. 7. Additional workshops -- Incorporated with the staff of Parks and Recreation, City of ~tlanta, add itional worksho p on Ar ts and Crafts, photography, etc. At our neighborhood service centers so f ar as the budget is concerned, we have been a ssured that the administration of Spelman College will pay t he �-60- amount of $1.50 per hour for a 40 hour week for 10 Spelman students on a weekly basis. This oeans practically that Spelman College will pay $1.20 from its own funds but $. 30 will have to be contributed by EO.:\ to Spelman. I was assured by the administra tion that we could have, be ginnins the first of September, twenty students on a 15 hour basis workinc for a full y0ar on the same financial arrangement. �-61- Eastern Music Festival -- Special Summer Program -- Cultural Enrichment Program I.

(a) Persons in the poverty community, particularly youngsters, seldom if ever have the opportunity to become aware of or take part in the creative process entailed in the performing arts. (b) The objectives are to offer the opportunity to the youngsters involved for specialized instrumental training and understanding in symphonic music performance. Also to brine the achievements of these youngsters to the total corrnnunity at various times during the year in the follow-up program. · Benefits include strong job training possibilities for the youngsters and a strong de gree of pride to the poverty cormnunity when the achievements of the youngsters are brou3ht, through cbncerts, to their attention. In addition, it is hoped that the prevailing attitudes which most in the poverty community have toward the performance of classical music, and in particular to those participants in classical music, will be altered. (c) The performing ar ts have long been one of the few job • areas completely open to those in t he ghetto, and symphony orchestra s alarie s in this country are, for the first time , paying living wages to musicians. There is also an extreme scarcity of quali fie d string players being t raine d in the country today, and it is planned that many of the youngsters select e d for this program would be students who play s tring instruments. ~lso, the opportunities available to the active participant and the viewer of the arts has simply not been available to the poverty corrnnunity. The kind of achievement that was made �-64- by the youngsters selected for a similar prosram sponsored by EOPI in Miami last year has astounded the connnunity there and has provided the young participants in the program with an enormous degree of inspiration and enducement to continue, through whatever means possible, to achieve in this area. II. proper. (.a) Fifty youne;sters will take part in the Festival program As many as 40 educators, cormnunity leaders, etc. will be involved directly in the recruitment program. The number of persons in the poverty community who will be involved in the follow-up program is unlimited. (b) Judging from the experience with EOPI in Miami, approximately 25%. (c) Each CM will assign one staff member to be responsible for recruiting in the community. A recruitment conunittee, consisting of community residents, will be established and information about the program will be made available to all students who participate in the public school music programs in poverty areas. There will be a series of three open audit.i ons in each com- munity after the completion of which participants will be selected. (d) Ten students will be selected from each of five cities. The ones selected will be those who display the greatest degree of proficiency at the t i me along with potential. The cost of the unique factors involved in training young musicians (the younger the better ) in order to develop proper physical coordination (the program wil l be limited to students 16 and under). III. (a) OEO sponsored students will participate, along with double their number fr om other geographic areas and environs, in the Eastern Festival program. This includes participation in a student orchestra, chamber music ensemble, provide lessons taught by professional performers from major American orchestras, master classes, bi~weekly concerts, and various recreational activities. �-65(b) In past years, the Festival has maintained two student orchestras of equal ability. and a training orchestra. This year there will be an advanced orchestra While certainly some of the OEO students will qualify for the advanced orchestra (some of the EOPI students last year were among our finest talents), we feel it i s of 3reat importance to provide leadership possibilities in a trainin3 orchestra for some of those who other- wise would be relegated to ba ck-of-the-section positions in an orchestra that is too advanced for them to realize a meaningful educational experience. (c) The Eastern Festival program is one in which professional a l performer/teacher and student wor k to5ether in a curriculum that is geared to performance. In addition to their own performances, students regularly hear concerts by the professionals. The Festival is nationally recognized as one of the major i nstitutions of its kind in the coun t!Y• (d ) See (b) above. (e ) Does not ap ply.

The r es ponsibility for presenting these programs will obviously demand serious practice during the year by the participants . (g) Other members of the participants' families will be involved in much the same way as the rest of the community. (h) The Festival has a long-time contract with Guilford College whose total facilities are made available each summer. located on the outskirts of Greensboro, North Carolina. Guilford College is �-66(i) Trans portation from the participants' home to the , stival and return is included as a part of the budget. (j) A clothing allocation for participants is included as a part of the bud get, as is spending money which is to be used for instrumental needs such as reeds, rosin and some music, in addition to laundry and drug store items. (k) We foresee no problems in carrying out the program this year, in light of what we learned from our experience last sunnner with EOPI. (1) There will be no change. We would not for this season want a larger number students, and a smaller number of students would on ly mean that we would admit that many more applicants. IV . (a) The policy advisor y groups i n each city will a ct on and be respons i ble for a ll matters pertaining to the ex tensive recruitment program, descri bed in II (c) above. (b ) Persons who have es tablished themselves as leaders in var ious aspe c t s of connnunity l i fe wi ll be selec t ed .

(d ) The target area resident s' influence on the pr ogram will be demonstrated by their attempt s at, and reaction t o , the concerts gi ven in the follow-up program. (e) Target area groups and neighborhood organizations will have repre sentative s on the recruitment committee. V. (a) Each CM will de si gnate one staff member to be responsible for administrative detail work in the program. This person obviously would be more aware of prevailing conditions and attitudes within the connnunity than would a Festival r epresentative. �-67(b) The Eastern Festival staff is limited to professional per- forming musicians and some conservatory graduate students. Selection is by audition and personal interview. ~pproximately 50% of the Festival faculty and staff have had one or more years association with the Festival.

They were shown the complete faci l ities followed by a group dis cuss i on r ela t ed to a ll aspects of this project (refer to Checkpoint Form 1 a t tached for agenda). Audition dates were determined as indicated on Checkpoint Form 2. 2) The Pre Initial Audition Form (a tta ched) was sent to each project coordinator ( these forms will be submitted as they are made available). 3) The Final Audition in each city wil l be attended by Eastern Music Festival representative who will serve as the checkpoint at that stage. 4) From the time of the final auditions to the date of the actual Festival season, various checkpoints will be employed. These checkpoints will consist of various forms such as to determine student's poverty eligibility, �-68- .parental approval forms, and re3ular information which the Festival sends to all of its students. 5) Durin3 the actual season, the OEO students will be under the cuidance and direct supervision of our complete faculty and staff. In addition, we have employed a Dean of the Festival whose General responsibility will be in the area of student -- faculty/staff relations, but whose specific job will involve any special problems (none anticipated) which occur with OEO students. nlso, re3Ular faculty/staff administration meetings are scheduled to discuss all student matters. 6) After the Festival season , checkpoints will consist of regular questionnaires, yet to be determines, by the Eastern Music Festival sta ff as well as t he individual c:.J..' s . 7) Finally, the checkpoints will consist of workin3 with these students by means of quarterly workshops. The exact procedures and form of these workshops is impossible to be de termined a t this point.

Social Services Sub-Corrnnittee has been established. The connnittee is attempting to draw together all of the casework and counseling a 3encies as well as concerned individuals and churches in an effort to provide a "Walk-in Counseling Center." 1\. proposal for the Center has been developed , I t is shown later in this section. The following a gencies are being asked to participate in the Social Services Program. These are as follows: Atlanta ,\dolescent Pregnancy Project ~tlanta Public School System Services for Exceptional Children Atlanta Univer sity Departme nt of Psychology Atlanta Unive rsity School of Social Work Big Br other s Carrie Stee l e Pitts Home Catholi c Family Se rvices Children's Center of Metropolitan l'..tlanta Clark College Department of Psychology Corrnnuni t y Services for the Blind DeKalb Child Guidance Ce nter Department of Health , Educa tion a nd We lfare Soci a l & Reh abi litation Se rvi ces Emor y University Comprehe ns i ve Heal t h Center Emoty Univers i ty Hospita l De par tment of Psychiatry Emor y Universi ty De par t ment of Psychology Fami l y Couns e l ing Center Fl ore nce Crittenton Home Fulton County Family & Childr en Serv ices De par t ment Ful ton County Departme n t of He a l t h Ful t on County Me dica l Socie t y Georgia State Co lle ge Department of Psychology Gate City Day Nur ser y As sociation Grady-Emory M&I Project Hillside Cot t a s es Jewish Family & Ch i ldren's Services Morehouse Colle ge Department of Psychol ogy Morris Brown Department of Psycho l ogy Oglethorpe College Department of Psychology Protestant Welfare & Social Services, Inc. - 70- �-71- Salvation lttmy Comprehensive Counseling Center Spplman College Department of Psychology Suicide Prevention & Psychiatric Emergency Center Traveler's f.i.d Veteran I s /i.dministration Georgia Mental Health Institute YOUTH COUNSELING Wt1.LK-IN CENTER Introduction and Background The Social Service Sub-committee of the Youth Opportunity Program proposes the establishment of a demonstration pilot project. a "Youth Counseling Walk-In Center. " This project will be This center will provide supportive and therapeutic services to adolescents a ge 13 and over who are trying to adjust to problems of living . It would also provide a forum mechanism for a gency re- presentatives to share experiences and creative ideas about how total available resources might best be related to existing human needs i n this area of int er e st. There are four basic reasons why such a center is proposed. These are : 1. The limited services ava ilable to aid troubling and t r oubled yout h in s pi te of the myriad of resources which do not provide s erv ices on an immedi ate basis . 2. The intake and processing requirement s of tradi t ional casework a nd psychiatric a s encies tend t o divert youth f r om part i cipa t i on and t o f al l short of t he need . 3. The selection and utilization of appropriate services tend to be a significant prob l em. 4. The general shortage of personnel and funds available to help youth in this manner. 1. To provide you th , 13 and over with i ndividual and group s ervices. 2. To provide troubled and troubling youth with help for problems of s ocial and personal adjustment. 3. To provide the testing and evaluative services necessary for further referral where indicated. Objectives �l -724. To provide '"!ffective help in a crisis ituation. 5. To find an<l involve volunteer and professional loan staff from agencies and individuals who will provide professional and meaningful purposeful relationshi~s with youth. 6. To provide consultative service to agencicn working with troubled youth. Operational Procedure This a gency wi 11 be open from 11: 00 ! •. M. - 8: 00 P. M. with professional and volunteer staff. Youth will be notified of the center's operation by news media, neighbors, friends and other agencies in the Youth Opportunity Program, teachers and ministers that such a service is availab le and where it is located. The basic philos ophy of this program will be similar to the "crisis" concept~ Therefore, professionals will be functioning with clients in a non- traditional role. The intake process will be minimized. nt the center, incoming youth will go to or be met by an intake worker whose only function would be refer ring you t h to an available staff person re gardless of professional status, to dis cuss his prob l ems. Identifying informat i on would be obtained during the intervi ew at the worke r's discret i on, If necessary other s t aff will be ut i l ize d f or consultative purposes and f urther dia gnosis and treatmen t . The professional will be r ead i l y avail ab l e to addres s h i mself to t he urgent c oncern of the moment with a view toward an appropria te s ol ution . The proj e ct wi l l provide consulta tive services to a ge nc ies calling t he cente r and asking for help wi t h troubled youth they have identif i e d. Any youth or group e nte r i ng the center wil l be s erv ice d. The re will be in-service training, case confer ence, sues t s peakers and dis cussion of current problems that promote inter-ra cial and inter-cultural under s tanding as worked out with staff. �-73It is hoped that this project will generate the interest and enthusiasm of the agencies in the community so that it would operate on a year-round basis. However, at the end of the summer should this project not be ongoing , the operating a gencies will assume responsibility for absorption of cases needing continuing follow-up. Evaluation This project will be evaluated at the end of the summer. Location The center will be located at the Trinity United Methodist Church at 165 Washington Street, S. W., Atlanta, Geor3ia. Staff One professional staff person will be hired (or borrowed) to direct the project. The responsibilities and duties of this director will be: 1. To schedule and coordinate the loan and volunteer staff. 2. To assist in the training of non-professionals. 3. To develop interpretive and in-service training material for staff , organizations and volunteers; 4. To maintain offi ce reports) records , etc. and provide 0eneral administrative and supervisory 3uidance f or the staff of the project. 5. To recruit staff r e placements from existing a gencies in the community. The remainder of the staff would be loaned to the pr oject by participatine a gencies and would constitute a multi disci plinary treatment staff. ~ddi tional staff would be constituted of volunteer pr ofess i ona l s who have a gree d t o pr ovide dir ect ser vices to the pr oject. Many of t hese voluntee r s would be persons whose nor mal day~ t o- day a ctivi t i es might be administrative , s upervisory , c onsu ltative etc . from the various fie lds of priva t e practice. Vo l unteers would a ls o come The project will also provide volunteer non~profe s sional who possibly have no other skill than providinc a �-74warm friendship and general support to this project.

The manpower needed to carry out the many activities in this program is too numerous to be obtained from the limited funds available. Therefore, a vigorous effort is underway to obtain the necessary volunteers far the 1969 Youth Opportunity Program. The major sources of volunteers are EO/... (Start Now Atlanta Program), The Community Council of the Atlanta Area, The Red Cross, The Junior Chamber of Commerce, The Federal Executive Board, The Atlanta Urban League, The Atlanta Chapter of the League of Women Voters, The Women's Chamber of Commerce and the Garrison Company, Fort McPherson. The Volunteer Sub-Committee of the YOP ha s approached the established volunteer resources be used upon request to assist agencies participating in the YOP. The following agencies h ave a greed to do so: The Red Cross, Chamber of Corranerce, League of Women Voters, Fort McPherson , Junior Chamber of Commerce, Federa l Executive Board, Atlanta Ur ban Le ague and the Community Council. The re are s eve r al other non-establishe d volunteer resources which are being cont a cted f or input i nto the YOP. The se resour ce s i nclude the Wal k-In Vo luntee r, Churche s , Stude nt groups, a nd c olle ge s. Special effort s are being made to e ngender more b l ack adul t and youth vol unteers. The mos t acute prob l em in 1968 was a cent ra l coordination and dispatching office to carry out coordination for a day to day and week to week basis. This year, the YOP effort will, hopefully, eliminate this problem by hiring 2 or 3 Urban Corp interns to operate a central volunteer office for the YOP. - 77- �-78- The specific duties of the interns will be: 1. 2: To provide Central coordination for the YOP Volunteer Program; To compile and codify the volunteer resources and needs for agencies and groups participating in the YOP; 3. To take calls on a day-to-day basis for volunteers; 4. To dispatch appropriate volunteers to groups and user agencies. Hopefully, the ~enter will become operative by June 10, 1969. The Fulton County Medical Society will provide free physical examinations for poor youth who might need them to go to camp. The Metropolitan Commission on Crime and Delinquency is engendering financial support for special surrnner programs. The ntlanta Youth Congrens will contacy youth and urge them to serve as volunteers in the YOP. �TRL\NSPORTATION Mr. Robert M. Wood - Chairman One of the most serious problems encountered in the Youth Opportunity Prosram during the surrnner of 1968 was the lack of adequate transportation resources and facilities. The same problem remains for 1969. In efforts to overcome anticipated problems around transportation a special task force is workins to obtain special transportation for the 1969 Youth Opportunity Program. The Transportation Task Force has contacted several individual bus owners and the transportation companies asking them to provide special transportation at no cost or reduced rates for Youth Opportunity Activities. No positive responses to the request have been received to date. In lieu of the limited response from tpe various transportation companies, the task lorce sugce sted that transportation for the Youth Opportunity Program be centralized. All of the major a gencies were contacted and asked if they would establish a joint transportation pool. EOA and the Atlanta Parks and Recreation Department have a greed to share their resources in order to establish a central transportation pool. The transportation pool wil l provide: 1. ~ 2. Singular cont act with the Atlanta Tr ansit Company. 3. Key transportat ion con tacts in the major a gencies. 4. Identification s ystems for buse s and youth. 5. The neces s ary machinery for dea l ing with the transportation requests of ad hoc groups. 6. A hired dispatcher to deal exclusively with scheduling and other transportation matter s . centralized dis patching office. - 79- �SPECIAL PROGRAfIB POLICE DEPARTMENT The Atlanta Police Depa r t ment will provide a Crime Prevention Officer in each EOA Neighborhood Service Center in the city. These officers will work closely with the City Services Coordinator s, EOA per sonne l, community orga ni zations and indiv idua ls to· e liminate potential problem are a s .
