It is my understanding that, to date, Morehouse College is the only Atlanta college participating in this program. Mr. John Cox, Executive Director of the Youth Council, as well as coordinator for our Youth Opportunity Program in Atlanta, has taken the following action: I. contacted ali of the NCAA Colleges in Atlanta to encourage ther to participate. So far, only Morehouse College is participating. Emory and Georgia Tech indicated that they could not participate because of other building and activity programs this summer; communicated with Coach Forbes, Morehouse's Director, isidividually, and discussed Morehouse's Proposal prior to submission. He later held a meeting with Dr. Forbes involving personnel from the City of Atlanta Parks and Recreation Department, Economic Opportunity Atlanta and the Community Chest. At this meeting, the following proposed modification and changes were suggested and agreed te by Dr. Forbes. a. The program would operate from 9:30-1:30 instead of 8:00-12:00 nomn;  Page Two The Honorable Spiro T. Agnew April 22, 1969 b. Co d.

We will continue to maintain a working relationship with this program and kepp your representative informed on its progress. As Mayor of the City of Atlanta, I fully endorse this program and recommend its funding.

Text Any textual data included in the document FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE | MARCH 17, 1969 Office of the White House Press Secretary THE WHITE HOUSE STATEMENT BY THE VICE PRESIDENT ON THE NATIONAL SUMMER YOUTH SPORTS PROGRAM Captain James A, Lovell has joined me today to announce a new program on earth rather than in space. While most Americans are familiar with astronaut Lovell's part in the successful Apollo 8 mission, he has another role and another mission as the President's Consultant on Physical Fitness and Sports. We believe he will be equally successful here. Today I am pleased to announce the establishment of a national summer youth sports program which will provide summer day camp experience for an estimated 75, 000 young people living in urban areas. The program will enable disadvantaged youngsters in 40 metropolitan areas across America to attend summer day camps which will be held on the campuses of 120 colleges, universities and junior colleges. Colleges will contribute their gymnasiums, swimming pools, tracks, playing fields and special purpose rooms as well as a full-time program director and capital sports equipment at a cost of $1.55 million. The balance of the program's cost will be financed through a transfer of $3 million in OEO funds to the Department of Health, Education, and Welfare which will assume responsibility for the program. The program will be administered by the National Collegiate Athletic Association under contract to the Department of HEW. The President's Council on Physical Fitness and Sports which I chair as Vice President, has been assigned by HEW Secretary Finch to supervise the program. Captain Lovell directs staff activities for the Council. This national program is modeled after the highly successful summer sports program conducted last year at the University of Southern California for youngsters from the ghetto area near its campus. The 40 metropolitan areas have been chosen on the basis of population size and percentage of poverty level families, Our prime target is to reach the inner city youngster who has no recourse but the streets during the long, hot summer. Obviously we cannot reach every child we want. We hope to reach many in the heart of these c'ties' poverty areas to provide at least a 5 week respite of recreation and relaxed education. This is a beginning. We are tapping resources heretofore unused and reaching youngsters he retofore unknown. As Captain Lovell knows from experience, you cannot reach vhe moon on the first flight. But you can never reach the moon if you will not try. This year's success will pave the way for greater participation and expand horizons of hope where hope is most needed -- rignt here at home. 7a OF  Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

RICE III Mayor Ivan Allen, Jr. City Hall 68 Mitchell Street, S.W. ~ Atlanta, Georgia 30334 Re: tlanta Youth Council Dear Mayor Allen: John Cox has tendered and the Executive Committee of the Youth Council has accepted his resignation from his job as Executive Director as of July 31, 1969. John is leaving the Youth Council to take Frank Thomas' job as Executive Director of the Butler Street Y. The Executive Committee of the Youth Council feels that John has served the Council diligently and effectively during his tenure as Executive Director. Before attempting to recruit a successor to John Cox, we wanted to ask you if you had any suggestions for a suc- cessor that we could offer to the committee in charge of selecting such a person and also to ask you if your con- ception of the Youth Council or of the job to be filled had changed. As you may remember, there was some talk last Fall of consolidating the Youth Council with another group such as the Crime Commission or the Community Re- lations Commission. At that time, we were anxious to get the Council functioning and its programs underway and did not want to get involved in a re-examination of its pur- poses or its place in the structure of City Government. That is still a fair assessment of the sentiment of the Executive Committee. Nevertheless, if changes in the status of the Council are contemplated, the Executive Committee felt that these changes should be known to it and taken into account in its process of recruiting a successor to John Cox.

THE KENTUCKY YOUTH CONFERENCE The Kentucky Youth Conference was begun in 1967 by former Attorney General Robert Matthews to seek among the young people of Kentucky the leadership necessary to curb Kentucky's juvenile delinquency problem . In 1966 Kentucky got, for the first time, a roughly accurate look at its juvenile delinquency problem. In that year, the Attorney General's Office, in cooperation with the Department of Child Welfare, developed a voluntary and uniform juvenile offense reporting system . They found the over-all picture bleak, showing little end in sight to the rising tide of juvenile crime in the state of Kentucky. The Kentucky Youth Conference was designed to do something about this problem. It is based on the theory that y oung people, if given the opportunity, can themselves develop solutions to the problem of juvenile delinquency; that their energy, insight, and imagination cannot be overlooked; and that they should seize the l eadership in dealing with this problem. These concepts of the Conference became a reality in August of 1967 and again in August of 1968 when more than 800 high school age people from a ll parts of Kentucky gathered at Eastern Kentucky University in Richmond to ask themselves what they could do about juvenile crime in their local communities. Their discussions, s timulated by exce llent speakers, programs , and the most comprehensive data on juvenile crime available , sparked many ideas for local projects . Youth Conference delegates have organized a teen jury in Henderson; a three - county Central T een Council in northern Kentucky involving county judges and police judges ; a youth employm e nt servic e in Versailles which, in its first year of operation, found jobs for s ome e ighty young people in the area; a nd a Boyd County program which has involved pre-teen children of indigent parents in the area in picnics and horseback riding . Many such programs throughout the Commonwe alth have met with such great success , unprece d e nted c ommunity interes t a nd widespread s upport tha t the annual Conferen ce will now remain a perm a n e nt ins titution in Ke ntucky. l �Delegates to the Conference have been sponsored in the past by more than twenty thousand Kentuckians representing corporations, labor unions, civic clubs, schools, and church organizations. These groups, along with various other foundations and youth organizations interested in the development of Kentucky youth and the prevention of juvenile delinquency, lend financial support to the Conference efforts. The Kentucky Youth Conference is now sponsored by the privately financed, non-profit Kentucky Juvenile Delinquency Prevention and Youth Development Foundation of Louisville, Kentucky and has begun a Sustaining Member Program intended to broaden its financial base, while giving Kentuckians a chance to participate in its efforts in an important and essential way. Throughout the entire state businesses, organizations and individuals recognize and support the tremendous potential of the Kentucky Youth Conference, and of Kentucky young people, to mobilize the resources of the state in effective combat against juvenile delinquency and to explore new areas of constructive citizenship for the young.

Youth Conference delegates have organized a teen jury in Henderson; a three-county Central Teen Council in northern Kentucky involving county judges and police judges; a youth employ- ment service in Versailles which, in its first year of operation, found jobs for some eighty young people in the area; and a Boyd County program which has involved pre-teen children of indigent parents in the area in picnics and horseback riding, Many such programs throughout the Commonwealth have met with such great success, unprecedented community interest and widespread support that the annual Conference will now remain a permanent institution in Kentucky. Delegates to the Conference have been sponsored in the past by more than twenty thousand Kentuckians representing corporations, labor unions, civic clubs, schools, and church organizations.
