Brief description of the project (limited to remaining space on this sheet)
The Parks and Recreation Department (Department) proposes to provide an enrichment
experience to youth attending after-school recreation programs in our community by bringing to these
schools, individuals with expertise in areas such as gymnastics, photography, golf, music, martial arts,
fashion design, theater arts, video taping techniques, television operations and more.
Enrichment programs will compliment existing S.K.A.M.P. Camp program components that are
currently a part of the Recreation Division's Youth After-School Program.
The Department's after-school program employs well qualified and experienced recreation leaders
to coordinate on-site activities such as arts and crafts, sports leagues, sports skills training, nutrition
programs, homework help and student-volunteer training.
The meshing of basic recreation activities with an enhancement component will appeal to a wider
range of youth.

1998-1999 GRANT NARRATIVE
1. Describe what school and/or community needs are addressed by the project for which you are
applyinS.
With a growing awareness that our fragmented delivery of services to families and children has been
underachieving at best, collaboration across agencies with communities has quickly become a key strategy
to try to improve program effectiveness and outcomes. The Department has been an integral and effective
collaborative partner with several City Unified School District projects. This municipal agency has
collaborated with Emmerton, Lincoln, Inghram and Rio Vista Elementary Schools to obtain various grants
including successful Healthy Start funding proposals.
The Department has provided after-school recreation programming in the City of San Bernardino for over
thirty (30)years. It is the objective of the Recreation Division to provide positive leisure opportunities to
youth of our community. The statistics speak for themselves and local community attitudes reaffirm that
drugs, gangs and crime in general are the three highest ranked problems named by community residents.
Schools are a safe haven for youth. Programmed and supervised activities are the remedies for the"Latch
Key" Syndrome.
• After-school recreation programs extended the safety net protecting youth from unsupervised, risky
behaviors. The response by the Department is S.KA.M.P. Camp. 'Safe Kids Achieve More Praise' is a
six (6) year old after-school program targeting at-risk latch key elementary aged youth.

L Identify the outcome(s) that the proposed project intends to address.
•
The collaboration between schools and the Department will address the following outcomes as listed in
the grant competition instructions section:
Outcome 5: This proposal will increase the percentage of students who participate in after-
school educational and extracurricular activities.
The time frame for these collaborative efforts will be after-school and also address any minimum day
schedule at the school. These well designed and supervised after-school S.K.A.M.P. Camp/ Enrichment
Programs have been developed to raise the interest level of the child in participatory recreation.
Outcome 6: Enhanced recreational programming shall increase the percentage of students
who demonstrate resiliency traits.
Positive reinforcemept is the replacement for the needs survey. The Department imparts life skills through
• play and positive use of leisure time. Programs offered by this municipal agency recognize youth as our
greatest asset Low-income neighborhoods are seldom seen as needy and deficient. The Department
has continually offered programs that identify the variety and richness of skills, talents, knowledge and
experiences of people in low-income neighborhoods.
Outcome 7: Through collaboration with the school, recreation programs after-school will be
accessible to youth who attend the school and maintain good attendance and
conduct.

3. Describe the objectives of the proposed project and the strategies that will be used to achieve the
identified outcome(s)?
•
Objective 1: To provide a safe location and positive programs after regular school hours for
youth attending the school.
Strategy: S.K.A.M.P. Camp functions as a fully programmed and supervised after-school
recreation activity. Children enrolled in the S.K.A.M.P. Camp Program will be
involved in a variety of participatory recreation activities that will impart to the child
such positive concepts as fair play, sportsmanship, sharing, skills development
and the importance of lifelong physical fitness.
Objective 2: Expose the child to recreational and educational activities and information that
would not normally constitute nor be a part of the school's curriculum or the
child's environment.
Strategy: Provide enhanced recreational and educational opportunities by employing and
utilizing individuals who have developed skills and talents in activities that would
intrigue and e)itice the target pdpulation of youth.
• Objective 3: _ To increase by 100% existing program attendance at operational S.K.A.M.P.
Camps.
Strategy: Provide additional staffing at S.K.A.M.P. Camp programs to allow for the
ramifications of expanded and enhanced recreational and educational programs.
Some S.K.A.M.P. Camp programs have in the past outgrown the supervision ratio
applicable to the recreation profession.
• (most be limited to space provided)
Use Font size 10 pL and LS line space
4. Describe the project's target population and how many will be served.
• The S.K.A.M.P. Camp Enrichment Program would target existing program sites, Del Rosa,
Emmerton, Wilson, Newmark, Inghram and Riley Elementary Schools. The target population will be youth
attending these school sites, ages 6-12. The program should especially appeal to youth of families that
receive free or reduced meals at school. Because these families must qualify under U.S.D.A. low-income
guidelines, free after-school recreational programs featuring an enrichment component would increase the
probability that these youth would avoid risky after-school behaviors that usually occur without adult
supervision. For example: the total population at Del Rosa Elementary School is 1,008 students and of
that total, 73% receive free or reduced meals.
It is easy to draw a correlation between low-income families, (with youth who have poor attendance
at school, low resiliency traits, lack of constructive involvements) and at-risk children in that family.
It is envisioned that this program will serve 600 children per day at six (6) different S.K.A.M.P.
Camp elementary school sites.
5. Describe your organization's qualifications to carry out the proposed Project Identify who will be
responsible for overseeing the implementation and evaluation of the project.
The Department is the City of San Bernardino's Municipal Recreation Agency. IThis department
is supported and funded through the City of San Bernardino's General Fund, (tax revenue). The goal of
this City Department is to improve the quality of fife in San Bernardino providing Parks, Recreation and
Community Services to the city's residents. The Department employs a variety of professionals in the field
of recreation administration.
The Recreation Division has implemented various school based programs in cooperation with the
City Unified School District, including summer lunch, year-round lunch and after-school playground
programs. The Recreation Division has been a partner with city schools in collaboratives addressing
Healthy Start development and implementation at Emmerton, Inghram, Lincoln and Rio Vista Elementary
Schools.
The entire resources of the City of San Bernardino are utilized in the administrative and operational
implementation of recreation programs. Such services as; employee hiring/screening. (including finger
printing), employee training, risk management, financial and legal service are available to this city
department.
The Senior Recreation Supervisor of the Recreation Division will continue to manage after-school
recreation programs.

6. Identify community and/or school groups that you will be working with on the proposed project.
Explain the various roles of each partner.
• The school and city recreation partnership will include within its support structure all school-based parent
groups,i.e., PTA's, Community Advisory Committees,church groups,school district police and any existing
collaboratives established at the school.
School-based parent groups are excellent evaluators of child behavior. Feedback on such issues as
discipline, anger management, attendance, risk taking, resiliency and decision making on the part of
children can be observed and reported by parents of the group.
Comriurnity advisory groups such as Neighborhood Watch, property owners associations, blight control
and Code Enforcement interests serve the partnership as its eyes and ears in the surrounding community.
Issues of safety, and security in the neighborhood must be identified by such groups and information
shared with the schools.
Since the responsibility for all school site policing falls within the San Bernardino City Unified School Police
Department, the Department has established a positive working relationship with this police department
• as a support and security entity available 24-hours each day. School Police are the Recreation Division's
primary security and welfare contact when using School District facilities for its after-school S.K.A.M.P.
Camp programs located at elementary school sites.
Involving existing on-site collaborative members has proven to be an effective method of marshaling
resources and manpower to deliver services to the school and community residents.
• (mud be limited to space provideo
Use Font size 10 pt. and L5 line space
7. Describe your evaluation plan. What indicators will be used to measure your progress in achieving the
identified outcome(s)?
• The partnership will utilize a parent evaluation document to better assess the program's impact upon the
youth being served. This evaluation document will be distributed to parentstguardians, daily and upon
request.
Key indicators that will be measured are:
1) Instructor/Leader Professionalism
2) Program/Course Viability and Meaningfulness
3) Administrative Procedures(Registration-Sign-I NOut Procedures, Special Situation Management),
(Disciplinary Procedures, Risk Management Procedures, Publicity, Public Relations)
4) Program Attendance by Target Group Members
5) Volunteer Training and Utilization
6) Behavioral Assessment by Parents
Please Reference Attachment#7A (Parent Evaluation)
• (must be Use bad to apace provided)
Use Feat size 10 pt and LS line space
8. Describe your plan to sustain the proposed project beyond grant funding.
• The Department has provided free school-based after-school playground programs in the City of San
Bernardino for over thirty 30 ears. Although it is not possible to predict the financial viability of future
B rtY ( ) Y 9 P P
City of San Bernardino budgets, the commitment to these programs are firm.
Budget constraints have always limited the Recreation Division's ability to bring after-school programs to
each of the district's forty-four elementary schools and eight (8) middle schools. However for those
fortunate schools that have been selected to become a part of our yearly S.K.A.M.P. Camp/After-School
Budget Proposal, the positive reinforcement provided to youth has been recognized. Schools, such as Del
Rosa'and Wilson Elementary, have been affiliated with our after-school and summer programs for over
twenty (20) years.
To add the cost to implement an enrichment program that would feature enhanced recreation and/or
educational programming is not feasible. It is exactly because of the cost factor that the partners are
seeking the Medi-Cal Reinvestment Grants.
The Department will apply for funds recently approved by the state government to support after-school
• programs. The Department has applied for funds under the Empowerment Zone designation. These
grants can fund up to $ 500,000.
