Bronzeville Youth Program and Youth Resource ListBronzeville Youth Program andYouth Resource ListBy: Bronzeville CTC Resource Assessment Work Group1

TURN Center Greater Bronzeville Area Community Resource ListBackgroundFor the last two years, Bright Star Community Outreach (BSCO) has been working in collaboration with faculty andstaff from the Chicago Center for Youth Violence Prevention housed at the University of Chicago’s School ofSocial Service Administration and faculty and staff from Northwestern University’s Feinberg School of Medicine toaddress the issue of community violence in Bronzeville and the greater Bronzeville community. These efforts havefocused both on working to meet the needs of families, friends and those impacted by violence, as well as puttingeffective prevention programs in place.As part of the efforts to support prevention, these partners have been using the Communities That Care (CTC)model, a prevention planning system to organize and engage stakeholders to create and implement a communityplan to tackle the problem. CTC provides a structure for engaging community stakeholders to partner in definingthe problem, identifying solutions, and working together to implement these solutions to reduce violence andpromote healthy development for children, youth and families living in the community.The CTC process is divided into five phases: 1) getting started, 2) organizing, 3) developing a community profile, 4)creating a community plan and 5) implementing and evaluating that plan. Initial work has started with some of theworkgroups formed, and information collected from students (more than 1500 6th, 8th, 10th and 12th grade studentsfrom 19 CPS schools), neighborhood residents (400 adults across Bronzeville), community service agencies (28youth serving organizations), and publicly available data (e.g., crime, housing). These data will be used to create acommunity profile and inform the community plan.As part of the information collected, the BSCO CTC work group engaged with community residents, keystakeholders, and other community members to identify agencies in the Greater Bronzeville area that provideprograms to youth in the Greater Bronzeville area. Interviews were conducted with 28 agencies to gather moreinformation about the nature of the programming within each agency. This guide represents the outcome of thoseinterviews. It is not an exhaustive list of youth programming resources in the Greater Bronzeville area. We lookforward to future opportunities to engage with other agencies to continue to create a comprehensive list of youthprogramming resources. In other words, this is a living document. This resource guide will be updatedregularly on the BSCO website @ www.brightstarcommunityoutreach.comThis guide is divided into two sections. The first section contains a list of programs within youth programmingcategories. The second section contains more detailed information about each resource including a short descriptionof each program, eligibility requirements, number of youth served, and risk and protective factors addressed byprogram.

Bronzeville Community Resource Detailed SummariesThis section contains more detailed information about each resource including a short description of each program,eligibility requirements, number of youth served, and risk and protective factors addressed by program.In phase 3, the BSCO CTC work group began to create a Greater Bronzeville community profile. To begin tocreate this community profile, the results of the youth survey were used to identify and prioritize risk and protectivefactors that influence the health of Bronzeville youth. Based in student reports regarding factors in the communityto address, the risk and protective factors prioritized were:1. Community Engagement: The extent to which residents support each other and encourage positivecommunity values and beliefs. Examples include keeping an eye out on the neighborhood (e.g. youth,neighbors, property), interest in working to support or improve the community, or likelihood thatcommunity members would intervene if seeing a problem. .2. Community Connection: The extent to which residents feel emotionally connected to their community orfeel they can turn to neighbors for support. For example, having a sense belonging to or pride in theircommunity including neighbors, organizations or other aspects of the community.3. Peer Relationships: Youth (ages 8-18) are influenced by attitudes, beliefs and behaviors of their peers.Youth peer groups, and the extent to which peers are engaged in positive behaviors (e.g., schoolachievement, productive after-school programs, sports, caring for siblings) versus problem behaviors (e.g.,substance use, aggression, fighting, crime, violence) influences youth behavior.4. Positive Early Development Childhood Experiences: Children who avoid harmful or problembehaviors (e.g. behavior problems in school, drugs, crime) are more likely to avoid struggling with thosebehaviors as they get older.5. Community opportunities for recognition: Community members have knowledge of available resourcesthat provide opportunities for youth to actively be involved, create bonds, develop skills and be recognizedfor those skills.6. Family Support and Engagement: Extent to which families provide guidance, consistency, and supporttoward reaching developmental, academic, and behavioral goals for their children. Examples includeeffective communication, strong parent-child bond, rules with fair and consistent consequences, parentalinvolvement in child’s education, and building supportive networks within the community.
