Delivery of Education Tutorial Services to Children of Prisoners Located in the Gang Reduction and Intervention Program Pilot Areas

The U.S. Dream Academy proposes to develop a collaborative model that will provide a continuum of services and care for young people within communities of high risk in the District of Columbia (DC). The objectives of this model are: to identify and build a collaboration of existing programs in the District of Columbia focused on preventing and/or addressing juvenile delinquency; and to develop a comprehensive strategic plan to coordinate the work of members of the collaboration. The comprehensive strategic plan will focus on building the capacity of the collaborative to expand or develop further innovative models; building capacity of members to effectively partner with other service providers; administering the implementation of funding in support of the strategic plan; and documenting the process, successes, challenges and best practices in order to replicate the model in other cities. As part of the coalition building process and the strategic plan, the U.S. Dream Academy will build the capacity of the two local Dream Academy Programs to work collaboratively with other partners.
