Recovery Act - Edward Byrne Memorial Competitive Grant Program With the current economic climate negatively affecting most all facets of business, government and industry, for-profits and not-for-profits alike are feeling the pinch, and most all family units are under some level of duress--especiallyy those families that reside in the nation's most distressed areas which are often those hardest hit by even subtle economic challenges. In light of the current recession, many Boys & Girls Clubs are in need of additional resources to help youth and their families cope during these difficult times and to ensure that the Clubs remain an institution of stability and predicatability in the lives of Club members, while essential programs and services continue uninterrupted. Boys & Girls Clubs of America (BGCA) will utilize American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA 2009) funding to issue more than 1000 OJP National Mentoring Program grants to sub-recipient Boys & Girls Clubs that will serve to promote economic recovery through the creation and/or preservation of more than 800 Full-Time Equivalents (FTE) jobs. The primary award goals are to preserve and create jobs to expand and enhance mentoring programs and experiences at local Boys & Girls Clubs and to maintain other essential services without interruption. These goals will be met through the administration of three grant objectives. Objective 1: Unit Level Clubs will be required to create and/or preserve Club staff jobs in order to deliver and support the mentoring objectives of the intitative. Clubs will also implement and report performance measures on at least one approved evidence-based mentoring program. Objective 2: Extension Level Clubs will be required to create and/or preserve Club staff jobs in order to deliver and support the mentoring objectives of the intitative. Clubs will also implement and report performance measures on at least one approved evidence-based mentoring program. Objective 3: Native American Clubs (both Unit and Extension Level) will promote economic recovery through the creation and/or preservation of Club staff jobs to deliver and support the mentoring objectives of the inititative. Clubs will also implement and report performance measures on at least one approved evidence-based mentoring program . It is projected that a significant percentage of the jobs created and preserved through this award will be realized in distressed and disadvantaged communities nationwide. Therefore, the mentoring experiences and opportunities created through this award will be delivered to large numbers of often high-risk youth residing in distressed and disadvantaged areas. Additionally, funding from this award will be utilized to ensure the continuation of a number of programs and services at local Boys & Girls Clubs that may have been reduced or possibly eliminated otherwise....
