The Newport News Targeted Outreach Program (TOP) proposes to expand the Boys and Girls Club Gang Prevention through Targeted Outreach Model to community-based youth-serving agencies throughout its community. Over a three-year grant period, the City of Newport News will provide 225 young people who are at risk of gang involvement or delinquent behavior with individualized and intensive case management services. The TOP program provides a central referral agency for community organizations, citizens and parents to refer young people for prevention services and reimbursement to community organizations that provide youth services and case management to the program. The program conducts an initial assessment to determine risk and protective factors, makes referrals to appropriate community agencies and monitors the progress of participants through intensive case management services.
