DISCUSSION: |
Youth Safe Havens are places where children in targeted neighborhoods can play and learn with other children without fear of being victims of a crime. The original Safe Haven Program was operated in the southeast part of Fort Worth and was later expanded to other neighborhoods in Fort Worth. The Safe Haven Youth Program at the Bethlehem Center is a prevention program operated by the United Community Center. The program provides after school programming for at-risk children and youth. The program also seeks to address factors that lead to at-risk behavior at home and school. During the course of the year, a typical participant will spend more than 1,000 hours participating in cultural, sport, and educational activities. The participating children and youth primarily live in the 76104 zip code, which is located in Council District 8. This Agreement will be effective October 1, 2018, and end on September 30, 2019. |
