SUMMER YOUTH RECREATION PROGRAM
OF THE
CITY OF SOUTH BEND, INDIANA
Narrative Description
A. PURPOSE
The City of South Bend will stimulate the positive development of
economically disadvantaged youngsters between the ages of 8 and 13
by providing recreational activities designed to facilitate the
discovery and enjoyment of beneficial leisure time activities.
The City's Department of Human Resources will administer the Summer
Youth Recreation Program. Local agencies which will execute program
activities described below are ACTION, Inc., Youth Services Bureau,
Department of Recreation, Hansel Neighborhood Service Center, and the
YMCA Community Service Branch.
B, ACTIVITIES

the Department of Human Resources will fulfill the general grantee
management responsibilities related to program progress reporting,

2. SUMMER FUN PROGRAM (ACTION /YOUTH SERVICES BUREAU)
ACTION, Inc. and the Youth Services Bureau will sponsor a comprehensive
program of recreational and cultural enrichment, for low - income dis-
advantaged youth, ages 8 -13. The program will take place at city parks
and at ACTION's Neighborhood Centers.
The Summer Fun Program is an attempt to use recreation as a therapy mode
to produce positive results when working with young people. The program
will operate for eight weeks in the summer, from 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.,
five days a week. Traditional activities such as kickball, softball and
swimming are used in the program. In addition, a variety of "new games"
will be introduced to participants. New games is a philosophy of play
based on cooperative, rather than competitive, activities. These are
games in which no one loses. The idea of cooperation is somewhat foreign
to many youth. Games are designed to foster that concept, as well as
to help young people.learn to work effectively in groups.
The programs will be centered at three of ACTION's neighborhood centers:
Northeast Neighborhood Center, Southeast Center and LaSalle- Fillmore
Center. Each center is located in close proximity to a neighborhood
park, where outdoor recreational activities will take place. The centers
will be used for rainy day activities.
Recruitment for the program will be done by neighborhood center staffs,
thus assuring that program participants will be economically disadvant-
aged youngsters. Forty (40) to fifty (50) participants are anticipated
at each of the three sites. Consequently, there will be approximately
150 direct beneficiaries.
An extensive program of field trips will be provided. Most of the trips
will be within the South Bend area: to local business places, museums,
roller skating, and other places of local interest. Additionally, three
trips to out -of -town destinations are planned: Brookfield Zoo, Warren
Dunes State Park, and Fernwood Nature Preserve. Aside from the 150
primary beneficiaries noted above, these field trips will involve
approximately 100 secondary beneficiaries. These beneficiaries are
economically disadvantaged youngsters who will participate in non -CSA
funded Summer Fun activities at Memorial and Kennedy Parks.
The Summer Fun Program will be concluded with all program participants
gathering at Potawatomi Park for a New Games tournament and farewell
cookout.

Youth Recreation resources to continue its very popular cheerleading
instruction program. The city estimates that upwards of 150 youth will
take part in this activity.
Participants will learn technique, develop skills, learn to work as units,
learn voice projection, and learn how to write new yells.

finds that this concept is extremely popular, and inasmuch as the staff
of the Department of Recreation has been trained in the concept, the
city wishes to locally expand "New Games" participation opportunities
by acquiring additional equipment.
While the city cannot predict the exact number of economically disad-
vantaged youth who will benefit from this equipment acquisition, the
city would speculate that upwards 200 youngsters will benefit. This
