YOUTH POWER IN ACTION 2 COMMUNITY SERVICE AIDE PROGRAM SUMMER 1971 PURPOSE To provide meaningful employment for 200 Youth and 20 Supervisors during the summer months. (Manpower Oriented) The title "Youth Power in Action" attempts to convey the entire philosophy of the Model Cities funded summer program. This is a program with two goals in mind. The first - like all summer programs, aims at providing summer employment and training for youth. With the large numbers of youth let loose for the summer months, some type of program is necessary to channel that wealth of youthful energy towards a constructive end. With the limited number of job opportunities, compounded this year by the high unemployment rate, positive action is necessary. SECONDLY: This program will provide the youth with more than a weekly pay check, and a summer activity. The intention of this program is to provide a learning and growing experience for young people. This essential portion of the program is to be handled through a system of supportive services.
