South Bend Redevelopment Commission <br />Rescheduled Regular Meeting -August 25, 2006 <br />6. NEW BUSINESS (CONT.) <br />A. Public Hearing <br />() continued... <br />community and service organizations and <br />will invite those organizations to collaborate <br />in a provision of services to our clients. We <br />will strive not to duplicate necessary services <br />but to enhance those already being offered in <br />our community. We will strive to be an <br />anchor to the neighborhood and an active <br />participant in our community. The principles <br />that will be applied will be that no two <br />people learn exactly the same. Innovative <br />teaching methods and hands-on learning will <br />be provided. Homework is necessary and <br />clients must be motivated to apply what they <br />have learned in their daily lives. Clients <br />deserve and will work hard to achieve <br />success. We will help parents and guardians <br />to be involved in the lives of our children so <br />that each of those children reaches their full <br />potential. We will encourage them to work <br />together to learn how to better their situation. <br />If our community is serious about narrowing <br />the achievement gap, minority and at-risk <br />families deserve and are entitled to special <br />attention and opportunities. What we are <br />discussing today could provide them with <br />those opportunities. All participants are <br />entitled to be valued and respected as <br />individuals. A small group of individuals can <br />change the world. Our goal is to provide the <br />environment and to help provide the <br />resources to build and strengthen character <br />development, to create passion and to supply <br />whatever additional help our clients will need <br />to allow them to transform their lives and to <br />finish their bridge to self sufficiency and <br />success. <br />19 <br />
