EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: Fort Collins Build a Generation (FCBG), in collaboration with Healthier Communities Coalition, is committed to using risk-focused prevention and the results of its planning process as the primary tool to determine what strategies,programs,policies, and resources should be deployed to decrease risk and enhance protection for Fort Collins' youth. FCBG's risk assessment conducted in 1996 indicated that family management problems, family conflict, and the early initiation of problem behavior put youth in Fort Collins at risk for becoming pregnant,dropping out of school, engaging in delinquent behavior, using and/or abusing drugs and alcohol and witnessing or engaging in violent behaviors. Build a Generation will use this funding year to finalize the development and implementation of a comprehensive, strategic prevention plan. This plan will be developed and implemented to: (1) address gaps identified from its data assessments; (2) promote the implementation of research-based programs; (3) build upon what already exists in programs and services; (4) promote awareness of risk and protective factors; (5) use as leverage when applying for and making recommendations regarding resources; (6) influence public policy regarding the prevention of adolescent problem behaviors; and (7) increase cohesiveness among existing resources.

Executive Summary In one paragraph or less,summarize what you want us to fund The Fort Collins Prevention Initiative for Healthy Youth Development (for the purpose of this grant, referred to as FCBAG) requests funds to maintain a staff person at 25 hours per week and the administrative supports (operating expenses) necessary to provide the infrastructure of the local CPPB board, to coordinate the board's activities surrounding the goals and objectives of this grant, to maintain collaborative efforts with Healthier Communities Coalition and other initiatives in the community, and to coordinate and monitor the implementation of the Communities That Care risk-focused prevention model. B. Statement of Need ProWde a clear and concise statement as to the needs or probtenn this project is addressing this year. Include the radonalefor seekbg these fMI& The Fort Collins Prevention Initiative for Healthy Youth Development has identified two needs that this project seeks to address: 1) the need to continue risk-focused prevention in our community. 2) the need to continue as a catalyst for coordination of efforts with other youth-focused coalitions within the community. (1) The need to continue risk-focused prevention in our commtm_rtv. Healthy childhood development is of great concern to our community and to FCBAG . As a single, coordinated planning body, we are committed to using risk-focused prevention and the results of our planning process as the primary tool to determine what strategies, programs, policies and resources should • be deployed to decrease risk and enhance protection Our risk assessment conducted in 1996 (currently being updated) indicated that Family Management Problems, Family Conflict, and Early Initiation of the Problem Behavior put youth in Fort Collins at risk for becoming pregnant, dropping out of school, engaging in delinquent behavior, using and/or abusing drugs and alcohol and witnessing or engaging in violent behaviors. The 1999 Kids Count in Colorado reports that 2 in 10 babies bom in Latimer County are bom to single moms, and 20% of pregnant women in the county are not receiving prenatal care early in their pregnancies. Other alarming trends include a 37% increase in the juvenile crime rate per 1,000 annually from 1994 to 1996. Hispanic/Latino students drop out of school at twice the rate of Caucasian students and school official's report that the attendance and truancy referral load has increased by 411% during the last six years. Statistics for the 8i' Judicial District reveal that Latinos represented 36% of the youth in juvenile corrections. Over representation of this population in our juvenile justice system has created controversy and animosity among the various populations in our community. These trends clearly demonstrate that the community of Fort Collins needs continued support to work towards reducing these risks in a coordinated, strategic manner. An assessment of our original resources and gaps indicated that Fort Collins has identified five areas that need our attention: • increased need for bilingual services and resources • increased need for prevention programs and strategies from early childhood to preteen • increased need for cohesion among existing services and resources • increased need for volunteer recruitment far mentoring(Larimer County Partners) • need for opportunities for all children in our community to participate in recreational activities. We believe that focusing our efforts on enhancing existing services and addressing identified gaps is much more cost effective for our community than building another juvenile detention facility or creating expensive social service networks for youth. a�. In order to advance in the process, the FCBAG will use the 2000-2001 funding year to finalize the development and implementation of a comprehensive, strategic prevention plan. This plan will be developed and implemented to: 1) address the gaps listed above, 2) to promote the implementation of research based programs, 3) to build upon what already exists in programs and services, 4) to promote awareness of risk and protective factors, 5) to use as leverage when applying for and making recommendations regarding resources, 6) to influence public policy regarding the prevention of adolescent problem behaviors, and 7)to increase cohesion among existing resources. (2) The need to continue as a catalyst for coordination of efforts with other youth-focused coalitions within the community. One stumbling block to the prevention of adolescent problem behaviors in Fort Collins, identified through our resource assessment, has been a lack of coordination between existing coalitions and services, resulting in a duplication and fragmentation of services and resources. Often times there are several organizations and agencies fumbling over each other as they seek to do the same work. The results are intermittent and unfocused As the FCBAG works towards integrating and institutionalizing risk-focused prevention into the fabric and decision-making process of the community, it has become clear that we need to develop a more systematized approach to reducing risks, adolescent problem behaviors, and to enhancing protective factors. We believe that continuing to identify how we can coordinate our efforts with like-minded coalitions and taking a lead in those efforts is critical. One such coalition is the Healthier Communities Coalition(HCC) which we officially collaborated with during the 1999-2000 year. Using one staff person as the Project Director for the combined groups has reduced duplication, ensures continued coordination and communication to work together collectively. The budget narrative gives a detailed explanation to the division and payment of the salary and benefits for the Project Director. A new 501 C.3 Board of Director's, working committers and sub-groups focused on specific issues, have been established with representation from both initiatives plus new community members. Although Healthier Communities Coalition has a broader scope which includes all aspects of community life and the FCBAG concerns itself solely on youth, ages birth through 18, it is evident that the missions, processes, and desired outcomes are very much related The Healthier Communities Coalition has agreed to adopt the FCBAG planning process and act as emissaries for the CTC model as their primary tool to accomplish their desired outcomes. Therefore, combining processes, while targeting different segments of the population is an extremely promising strategy. An example is our role with HCC as they create an overall community plan, called, "Community Vision 2010". The findings of our risk and resource assessment, gaps analysis, and strategic plan will become a part of this overall community plan. FCBAG is in a much better position to use the results of our planning process to make recommendations regarding services, programs, policies, and resource allocation and to influence the direction of our local prevention efforts. The combined group brings more clout and presence in driving policy. C. Community Involvement and Commitment to Prevention How doe,Bds profecift w/rh the nrinton JratormW of the gpflcnnt qqe ? The mission of FCBAG is to link systems together so that services are delivered in a cohesive and effective manner to all residents. By tying community systems together, all children in Fort Collins are protected from risks and live in an environment that enables then to thrive and grow into healthy, productive members of our community. The purpose of these funds is intended to support communities trained and engaged in the FCBAG risk-focused prevention process. FCBAG have committed to using risk-focused prevention as the basis for making our decisions in terms of addressing adolescent problem behaviors in Fort Collins. FCBAG work 9b . to use the results of the risk-focused prevention process to bring community systems together so that decisions regarding programs, resources, and public policy have their basis in the same framework. Fgdaln how the project will include prevention activides, addressing the prioritzed risk factors,for youth anger birth through is in the defined community. Our geographic boundary is comprised of the City of Fort Collins. We have engaged in this planning process in order to develop prevention activities for youth birth through 18. Our resource assessment indicated significant gaps for children within different developmental age groups — need for prevention strategies from early childhood through pre-teens, need for recreational activities for all children, need for mentoring for youth of all ages, need for bi-lingual services, etc. Our strategic prevention plan will be developed and implemented to address these needs, thus including prevention activities for youth ages birth through 18. Briefly 10m*which plomdV process steps your com w*y has aceanpllrbed to daft Ifa condmu sdon project, what bm ltr har your community cWerlemcrd to date as a result artpardeoW ng in the Band A Ge nesanion proem? BAG had completed all the steps to the point of begiming to develop the strategic prevention plan. Due to lack of a staff person for several months, then the collaboration process with HCC, the data and resource assessment is in the updating process. The results will determine if there is any adjustment to the original outcome-based plan. Once completed, the strategic prevention plan will be finalized and published. Our community has experienced the following benefits as a result of participating the in the project: • it has allowed us to collaborate with multiple jurisdictions • It allows the board to make decisions based on research-based information • It has allowed us to identify our most harmful risks and the most prevalent gaps in services and programs . • It has provided us a structure for developing and implementing a strategic plan that will reduce risk and enhance protection for youth. • in addition, key leaders have embraced the BAG planning process and have helped to develop the original outcome-based plan. What does your community see as the benaft ff this year's proposal is funded? If this year's proposal is funded, the final steps of the strategic plan can be completed and published, and the integrated collaboration with Healthier Communities Coalition will be strengthened so that risk-focused prevention continues to be institutionalized in Fort Collins. We will also be in a better position to bring local community decision-makers to the same table to coordinate efforts, eliminate duplication and prioritize the use of resources. We also believe that the State will benefit from our efforts. By witnessing our successes and Mures of developing a new organizational structure with other like-minded coalitions, we will be able to supply an evolved model of collaboration and coordination for other BAG communities to use for themselves as they implement risk-focused prevention CPP Board Structure and Functions L Esp/dn how the board v organized and s&ucaved provide biforwadon abort terms of nkvnbmhfp and office, eowrnfuem dedtlon-naM rprocmm meadugrquisemartr,etc The Community Prevention Policy Board is made up of 15 members who work under the John Carver model of Policy Board Governance. Within that model, the Board develops policies to carry out the mission of BAG and the Director is given the responsibility and authority to carry out activities necessary to meet the organizational goals within the framework defined within Board policy. There is a chairperson, vice-chair,and a secretary/treasurer who act as officers, with terms of office for one year.

Many of the coalition groups working on prevention efforts,and youth serving agencies are members of the Healthier Communities Coalition which has the goal to promote collaboration in order to coordinate efforts to leverage health improvements and reduce competition. These groups are either members of the Community Prevention Policy Board,Healthier Communities Coalition or community members we have worked with directly.

We intend to have at least two meetings per year with Fort Collins Youth Advisory Council to coordinate with teen representatives. We are working with the communication/mobilization committee of HCC to develop means and tools to collaborate with many other entities throughout the community. The initial steps were a luncheon in March to inform participating initiatives of our collaborative efforts, plus tlhe Key Leader Breakfast to update on the collaboration, the community planning process, etc. In addition, the Director and board members will continue to meet with Key Leaders to keep them informed and to use their input in helping set the direction of planning for youth. I EVdn how new CPPB members arc recruited,orhmed and rushed Old board members recruit new board members. The board brainstorms potential candidates with intent to represent the diverse perspectives of the community and to find members who will help uphold board values and help achieve goals. It establishes a committee to contact potential candidates and explain the purpose of their participation should they join, invites potential members to a meeting and confirms their appointment after the board has discussed each candidate and the candidate has accepted the offer to participate. The Project Director helps with this process. This includes the vision of BAG statewide and locally,an overview of the project,their role as a board member and an orientation on John Carver's Policy Governance, and of the CTC model. A. List one or two methwh that have been used to educate the mmmanity about your prevention efform • We have engaged in a variety of methods. Examples include: holding two community breakfasts, community presentations in the CTC model, press releases, brochures, newspaper articles, etc. 7. How has collaboration benefited your community? Feedback from board members describe a high level of satisfaction that BAG has provided an avenue for many different segments of the community to talk face to face on a monthly basis. The Healthier Communities Coalition has voted to incorporate the BAG process into their role and share a director to eliminate duplication and fragmentation as well as to combine the use of resources. 8.

In the summer of 1999, three representatives from the group were educated at Hawkins-Catalano in Seattle on a curriculum to use the risk and protective model for educating parents,around the substance abuse issues, in the Fort Collins community. Five week classes are held throughout the community, including presentations in businesses through their human resource divisions.

G. Evaluation and Long-term Plan Identify how the CPPB WH mtarure whether or not they have successfully achieved the goals outlined In this grant appllcadon. prplain what efforts, if arty, are bdng used to secure future funding for the Band A Generation efforts in your community. We will develop a tracking system with the goals, objectives, actions and timelines listed and monitor what is being accomplished on a monthly basis. The Director will report the accomplishments to the Board also on a monthly basis. Quarterly and final reports will be submitted to DO within all required timeframes. One of the primary motivations for collaborating was to ensure continuation of the project through collaborative fund-seeking efforts. By demonstrating a high level of community collaboration, we increase the likelihood of getting grants and foundation support; increase the number of grants we can apply for because we represent a broader scope; decrease the number of individual grants submitted from Fort Collins community while decreasing competition within Fort Collins for those dollars. This leads to more cohesive focused efforts on behalf of children. To achieve these goals, the board has collaborated with HCC to develop a permanent home for a combined Director, who will eventually be finded through grants,contributions,and dues paid to HCC. H.
