(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.

The program is for five (5) weeks, two hours per day, with a class size of 15. The past record of this program has proven itself over the past years. We are recommending a grant of $600 to support this program for students in the Model Cities Neighborhood who would benefit from the program, but financially cannot afford the $5.00 fee. The amount paid for the fee of each student would be based on individual family needs, determined by the principal and/or counselor of the respective schools.
