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.

'
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.

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.

PROJECT CUTS JOB DROPOUT RATE
A "big brother" program to help young employees in the summer
jobs program of the U.S. Post Office Department cut the job dropout rate
from more than 20 per cent in 1968 to less than 10 per cent nation w ide
this past summer. More than 1, 800 fu 11-t i me employees volunteered to
act as co u n s e 1 ors to the approximately 7,900 disadvantaged youth hired
this summer, a ratio of almost one to five.
In Washington, 53 v o 1 un teer s worked with 253 youth and k ept all
but nine on the job from June to September - - a loss of about 3 . 5 per cent.
Encouraged to solicit potential s ummer employees from dis advantaged communities, volunteers helped youth through the ce r tification
process and arranged for adv ance vouchers for those youth who ne e ded
money for car fa r e, lunches , and clothes for work . Counselors also organized a ft e r - work activities and helped youth deal w ith personal difficulties as necessary.
The Post Office r e laxe d work pressures upon counselor s so they
could spend more time w ith the four or five youth working along side them .

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

Mayor Allen promptly designated the Youth Council as the agency responsible for coordination of the Metropolitan Youth Opportunity Program.
In

programs, and not be responsible for operating special recreational
programs;
�-!,..-

Tho.t the /1.tlanta Public Schools will make their facilities available to any group wishing to utilize them provided such group
assurae full responsibility for custodial and administrative costs;

spring where surmner programs will be located;
5.

desirable school facilities which they might utilize;
6.

above recommendations in addition to regular and ongoing activi ties.
In late 1968, EO~ be ga n holding planning meetings i n al l of the ECA
neighborhood service centers.
At these meetings, residents and youth of the EOn service ar eas made
valuable suggestions concerning the types, locations , and hours of operation of
summer pro gr ams i n the i r neighborhoods.
The suggestions of ne ighbor hood re s i dents provided a va l uab le guide f or
YOP planning .
These mee t i ngs we r e planne d and implemented by Mr. Duke Harris on,
Recreation Coordinator, EO~ .

funds for prograrrnning.
Such funds i nclude planning funds $45,000, OEO-EOA,

CAMPING
Mr. Frank Player, Jr. - Chairman
Mr. Charles Green - Co-Chairman
In 1968, only 5% of the inner city poor youth participated in resident
campi ng activities.
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.

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.

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.

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

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

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.

EVALUATION:

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

1)
The project coordinators from each of the 5 cities visited

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 .

Finally, the checkpoints will consist of workin3 with these
students by means of quarterly workshops.

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.

�VOLUNTEERS
Mrs. Frances Parham - Chairman
A crucial aspect of the YOP is the Volunteer Program.
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 .
