Recreation and Community Services Departments mission has been to provide quality programs, maintain open spaces and provide educational and leisure opportunities for youth, adults and seniors. The department is committed to creating communities through People, Parks and Programs by providing unique and innovative experiences for its culturally diverse community. San Bernardino has a population of 211,338 within in a total area of 81.62 miles. Sixty-two percent of city resident have an annual income of less than $50.000.

Four successful KaBOOM! playground builds . Received the Robert-Z-Berg Urbanized Area Grant to expand the Perris Hill Senior Center facility .

Project Information As society continues to demand parents to work longer hours, youth are forced to look to outside sources to learn their life lessons. In an effort to ensure that the right lessons are being taught, the department sees the need to develop and implement programs that will provide youth and families the tools needed to communicate effectively with one another. By offering the "Ties that Bind" program at all the community centers, staff and local partners will provide tools to help parents, guardians and youth to communicate more effectively. Program Goal and Objectives Through a series (10) two hour interactive sessions lead by trained staff at the community centers both youth and parents will learn how to communicate their thoughts and feelings with confidence knowing that the other party will listen. Over a four month time span, the following objective will be accomplished: . Increasing parents' understanding of growing issues facing youth in 60% of participants. . Increase knowledge of conflict resolution and communication skills in a minimum of 50 participants. . Provide (20) hours of communication training to a minimum of 100 youth/adults ~21{ l{~-Io fU.plaw<<mr "P~ . Exhibit B Due to the growing problems and lack of parent supervision, youth are relying more on outside influences that lack the knowledge or tools to provide proper guidance. The curriculum is inimitable as it exclusively focuses on the lack of communication between youth and families and educates on the art of communication through a assortment of speakers, games and tips that they can use for life. Training session would include, but are not limited to: . Family conflict resolution . Non-verbal and verbal communication . New trends on youth issues . Family fun nights Parents will be given the same opportunity in these sessions to listen and respond. In the course of the 20 hours families will learn effective communication skills in a fun atmosphere. At the end of the program, families will have time to reflect and celebrate their accomplishment. It is estimated projected those serviced will include the below age ranges: . 3-12 years 13-18 years 19-55 yea rs 55 and older 26% 30% 24% 20% . . . The program will begin one month after funds have been given. By providing assistance from volunteers, college students and community center staff, this project will give youth a platform to voice apprehension for growing peer issues as did previous programming. Partnering with Children and Family Services will also help us to meet this goal. Project Outcome and Evaluation A key anticipated outcome includes a stronger family relationship with added lines of open family communication. To determine whether the goal has been achieved, families will be provided with a pre and post survey regarding current family communication levels. To determine the outcome, 60% of participants will successfully complete a family project that utilizes matter to which they have learned through the course of the program. The final project will be displayed during the last session. .
