Text Any textual data included in the document October 7, 1969 Mr. Charles L. Figley % Dr. Mario Hidalgo Coordinator of Youth Activities City Hall Honolulu, Hawaii 96815 Dear Mr, Figley: I am pleased to furnish you the following information concerning Atlanta's Youth Commission and its overall effectiveness in deal- ing with youth problems of this city. The Mayor and the Board of Aldermen established the Youth Coun- cil in February 1966, to carry out the following specific objectives: ls 2. To develop community programs designed to prevent and control juvenile delinquency; ~ To coordinate activities of agencies devoted to the welfare of youth and the prevention of delinquency; To implement preventive programs through all means avail- able to the city departments and private agencies; To collect, correlate and disseminate information, state- ments, and data on the subject of children and youth; To conduct investigations and any and all other activities necessary to effectively perform its purpose. It is the mission of our Council to coordinate some 85 agencies offering direct youth services and some 30 agencies offering in-  direct services to children and youth in the Metropolitan Area. The Council serves as the overall coordinating agency for the city's Youth Opportunity Program. Said Council pulls together a Metro-Atlanta Youth Opportunity Council consisting of repre- sentatives fppm several business, civic, religious, private and public groups. This Council makes recommendations to the Youth Council's Board regarding program priorities, distribution and hours of operation. Such recommendations are made on the basis of researched and evaluated needs and gaps undertaken by the Council's staff...in the areas of employment, recreation, educa- tion, art, camping, transportation, volunteers, special events, social services, special programs and public relations, For your benefit, Iam enclosing a copy of our 1969 Youth Oppor- tunity Plan. It is my strong conviction that youth have a very essential and important role to play in any community, for youth, in fact, con- stituess the citizens of tomorrow. A big part of the urban problem is essentially a youth problem in terms of human resources and development; and any urban plan- ning must take into consideration this very important ingredient. I would recommend that youth be intimately involved in any coordina- ting activities aimed at helping youth. I would specifically recommend that: l. youth serve ofithe Board of Youth Commission; 2, youth serve in an advisory capacity to your City Planning Department; 3. youth serve in an advisory capacity to your Board of Education; 4. youth serve as consultants to your Recreation Department; 5. youth serve as consultants to your Public Employment Agency; ' 6. youth serve as consultants to the Mayor's Office. The problem of youth unrest is certainly one to be dealt with. This is not only true in Atlanta, but is the case in every major city in the nation, Atlanta's approach to dealing with this problem centers around the _general lack of services, commitments and interest on the part of larger communities. In this respect, the Atlanta Youth Council has been very effective in getting agencies to provide more services on a need basis; the result being those youth most in need of the services, receiving it. In addition, the total community has been alerted to the pressing need for providing adequate and effective services for all youth in the Metropolitan area, It is my feeling that Atlanta has been very successful in this regard and while all of the youth problems have not been solved, the success- ful involvement of the total community on youth problems is the neces- sary ingredient to successfully solving these problems.

Text Any textual data included in the document September 25, 1969 The Honorable Ivan Allen, Jr. Mayor of Atlanta City Hall Atlanta, Georgia 30363 Res Atlanta Youth Council-Model Cities Propesals Dear Mayor Allen: The Board of the Youth Council has requested that I wtite you to expewess its concern over the Juvenile Delinquency Proposals for the Model Céties area, In early November, 1968, Model Cities’ staff contacted the Youth Council and requested that the Council submit preposals for special programs to be undertaken in the Model Cities area, You will remember that the Youth Council submitted 5 separate proposals as a part of the Model Cities program. These preposals are as follows; 1. Absenteeism Project 2. Central Coordination Services for Model Cities Youth 3, Juvenile Delinquency Prevention 4%, United Youth Outreach and the Nodel Cities branch of the Atlanta Youth Congresa, It is my understanding that these projeets were a part of the total pro= grams submitted to and approved by HUD, Last April, Jerry Luxemburger and John Cox appeared before the Review Beard and as I understand, questions were raised concerning the Absenteeism Pro- _§jeet, whereupon it was decided that thia particular project should be operated by the Public Sehools and the others were approved by the Review Board and considered to “be all right", It is my further understanding that Jerry Luxemburger met with Dan Sweat to obtain your general position concerning the Youth Council prejectsa, at which time Jerry was informed that all these projects were approved by you exeept the Absenteeism Project. oa Qan The most important proposal submitted was our Juvenile Deldnquency Program. This as you remember, is the very purpose for which the Council was created. You may not know that the Model Cities area, accounting for only a fraction of the city's population of children (less than 4%) accounts for a sub- stantial percentage (17%) of the city's juvenile delinquency. The Youth Council Beard has heard that the Juvenile Delinquency Program is proposed te be deleted from the list ef funded projects, We again request, as we did last spring, a hearing with respect to this and our other pro- grans be rescinded.

We are includ- ing a brief outline as to how this can be done ond what materials could possibly be used.
