1. Program Narrative:
Youth in the Weld County Conservation Corps will engage in a conservation
and service project in a crew setting which will foster service learning,
leadership development and team building. The project(s) will be designed
to have value to the community and provide the youth with "work worth
doing" which also conveys a sense of community based on identification
with the crew.
Through participation in the corps program, youth will have the
opportunity to work on highly visible projects which will be a valuable
contribution to their communities. Through their participation the youth
will acquire a respect for the value of' community service. Upon
completion of the project(s) , corpsmembers, as well as the community, will
understand that the efforts of youth can and do make a difference.
Corpsmembers will experience and understand the rights and obligations of
citizenship, and through this understanding become a more integral part of
a their community.
Corpsmembers will be taught to view the Corps as an extension of their
"family"--- a place where the corpsmember belongs and is missed when not
present; a place where everyone is accepted for who they are, but where
everyone has individual responsibility as well as responsibility to the
group as a whole. Expectations of each corpsmember will be clear and fair
and members will learn to work as a team.
A. Geographic Location.
The Weld County Youth Corps will select youth from the Fort Lupton
area to be involved in the program. The work projects are located
in two community parks in Ft. Lupton, Colorado as well as a trail
project in the Ft. Lupton area.
B. Corps Description.
The Weld County Youth Corps will be a combination of a conservation
and service corps. The Corps projects will be located in Ft.
Lupton, Colorado which is a rural community in Weld County. The
Weld County Corps will consist of 12 corpsmembers and one crew
leaders.
The Youth Activities Committee of the Weld County Private Industry
Council will act as the Advisory Board for the Corps. The Youth
Activities Committee has been involved with the proposed youth corps
project from the onset. Beginning with the initial decision to
operate a corps program, the Youth Committee has been actively
involved in the development of the corps concept, the selection of
corps development activities, and in the selection of the proposed
work projects. The Youth Activities Committee will continue to be
informed and involved regarding the activities of the corpsmembers
as well as the progress of the work projects.
The Weld County Youth Corps will be comprised of 12 youth between
the ages of 16-21 years old. It is expected that there will be
approximately 10-11 corpsmembers which will be Commission funded
94091Q
with the remaining 1-2 youth being funded through the YCPI funding.
The corpsmembers will be paid $4.25 per hour for each hour they are
involved in work or education activities. Due to the large ethnic
and cultural diversity of Weld County, corpsmembers will come from
a wide range of backgrounds. Weld County expects that of the 12
corpsmembers, 30%-40% will be female. It is planned that the age
diversity of the corpsmembers be such that the differences in ages
will support team learning and team building.
Recruitment of the youth for the WCYCC will be from those youth who
are identified through the local school system, local law
enforcement or social service programs,as being able to benefit from
participation in the corps. It is planned that a'minimum of 75% of
the youth involved in the WCYCC will be economically or
educationally disadvantaged. Additionally, other youth serving
agencies such as Weld County Juvenile Probation, Social Services,
and local educational agencies have been contacted for the referral
of youth who may benefit from participation in the Corps, but who
may not be economically disadvantaged.
Youth who apply to the WCYCC will be sent a letter describing the
benefits of the Corps. If interested, they must reply with a brief
narrative explaining why they would like to join the Youth
Conservation Corps Team. After receipt of the replies, a review
panel will select the youth who will become members of the Corps.
The selection process will ensure the diversity of the group in age,
sex, cultural and ethnic backgrounds.
Youth selected to be Corpsmembers will attend an orientation which
describes the goals of the Corps, and provides the youth with safety
instruction in the operation of equipment and tools to be used on
the job sites. Corpsmembers will be provided with necessary safety
equipment and clothing.
C. Corpsmember Development.
All Corpsmembers will be assessed for their reading and math skill
levels by use of the ABLE Screening Battery. Corpsmembers will be
involved in approximately 2 to 4 hours weekly of educational
activities. Classes will convene October 3, 1994, and continue
until the end of the project. Corpsmembers will be paid $4.25 per
hour for attending scheduled educational activities. The Jostens
Computerized Learning System will be utilized in conjunction with
the Conover Workplace Literacy System to deliver educational and
life skills training. The Jostens Computerized Learning System
focuses on basic academic skills for Math, Reading, Science, Social
Studies, Life Skills, and English. The Conover System provides the
student with an opportunity to explore careers, practice basic math
and reading skills related to exploration experiences, and acquire
diagnostic and remedial occupationally-related math and
communication skills information. The vocational/educational
advisor for the Weld County Employment Services will be responsible
for the educational components listed above.
940919
Corpsmembers will participate in a Ropes Course to develop teamwork,
self-confidence, and leadership ability. The course will be
conducted prior to beginning and possibly upon completion of the
community service projects. As part of the educational component,
corpsmembers will also participate in the Pacific Institute Pathways
to Excellence Course. This course is designed to teach information
on beliefs, expectations, conditioning, self-talk, attitudes, self-
motivation, and goal setting. As a part of the Pacific Institute
training, corpsmembers will receive follow-up classes.
There are no formal arrangements with local education agencies at
this time. However, it is anticipated that corpsmembers will
receive classes from local educational agencies, and other
individuals involved in the work projects. These classes will
incorporate service learning and provide the corpsmembers with a
sense of how education relates to the projects. Service learning
will also take place as each teaching moment occurs. It is not
expected that any academic credit will be given for any educational
activities by local educational agencies. For the projects
discussed, it is expected that corpsmembers will be involved in the
development and coordination of community efforts to solicit
community involvement in the project. The corpsmembers will also be
involved and have the responsibility to submit planning and funding
requests to the Ft. Lupton City Council and Administration. Through
this process with city government, it is expected that corpsmembers
will achieve a better sense of appreciation for community
involvement and their rights and responsibilities as citizens.
Corpsmembers will be involved in a reflection component on a daily
basis. This will include group discussion and individual journal
entries. It is anticipated that the last 30 minutes of each work
day will be spent in reflective activities. Prior to the beginning
of each work day, corpsmembers will be involved in limited physical
exercise training designed to enhance work performance.
All corpsmembers will receive a pre-employment/work maturity
competency. Those who are assessed as in need of job specific
competencies will be enrolled and receive training in job specific
skills.
D. Work Project Development.
Work projects were solicited through the City of Fort Lupton by
requesting collaboration on the submission of a Youth and Violence
grant proposal. Projects were evaluated based on community need,
visibility within the community, and work value for the
corpsmembers. The proposal was presented to the Youth Activities
Committee of the Private Industry Council (PIC) who evaluated and
selected the work projects.
For this project with the City of Ft. Lupton, corpsmembers will be
involved in the planning and development of two small neighborhood
parks, and the design and construction of a trail. These projects
will consist of arranging and meeting with local residents to
receive their input on park design and soliciting neighborhood
940918
involvement in the park clean up/revitalization as well as
neighborhood clean up. Corpsmembers will also be responsible to
design and submit a plan and funding request to the City Council for
the materials and funds to build the parks and the trail.
Articles/equipment to be used by the corpsmembers in the projects
include a mortar mixer, wheelbarrows, and wide variety of hand tools
associated with general building construction. Corpsmembers will
learn practical application of math as it applies to building
construction, teamwork to accomplish a task, and will develop
leadership skills by assisting the crew leader in assigning and
being responsible for the completion of daily tasks.
It is the intent of Weld County to have the corpsmembers wear
distinctive items of clothing, such as t-shirts and baseball caps to
emphasize their role as a member of the WCYCC and their affiliation
with the Colorado Youth Conservation Corps. Media visits and press
releases about the Corps and the work project will be planned.
Weld County will use its existing agency structure to operate the
Youth Corps Program. The contact person is the Special Programs
Coordinator who will be responsible for the overall operation and
planning of the project. The crew supervisor has been selected from
existing staff and was screened for her ability to work with youth,
as well as having a broad background in working with the City of
Fort Lupton through the operation of a summer corps project. The
Weld County Employment Services Fiscal Officer will be responsible
for all fiscal reporting. The Special Programs Coordinator will be
responsible to data entry and MIS reporting.
The Weld County corps program will begin approximately October 1,
1994. The initial portion of the program will concentrate on
educational components such as the Ropes Course and leadership
seminars. The work component will begin approximately on October 5,
1994 and will end December 31, 1994.
The WCYCC will coordinate with the JTPA Youth Employment and
Training Program, and the City of Fort Lupton Youth Crime Prevention
Initiative which will fund a number of the corpsmembers salaries and
supportive service needs. Weld County' s corps program will
coordinate activities with local agencies such city government,
University of Northern Colorado, and local youth serving agencies.
The coordination will provide educational activities , service
learning experiences, and the referral of youth. Weld County will
not subcontract any services.
E. Post Service Benefits.
Weld County will not provide any post service benefits to
corpsmembers. It is expected that youth participating in the corps
program will be high school youth who will return to high school at
the end of the program and therefore, will not be eligible for post
service benefits.
9409ig
F. Corps Goals and Objectives.
The goals and objectives for the WCYCC are:
1. 75% of the participants will be educationally or
economically disadvantaged;
2. 40% of the participants will be minorities;
3. 100% of the participants will complete work maturity
component, including job specific skills training and
pre-employment/work maturity skills training;

jobs; and,
5. 50% of the participants will proceed to or continue
secondary or post-secondary education, vocational
education, apprenticeship, Job Corps, military
enlistment, other JTPA training or entry level
employment.
G. Corps Evaluation.
The progress of the Corps and each of its activities will be
monitored by the Special Programs Coordinator. This will be
accomplished by utilizing the Weld County monitoring policy
currently in place. All participants will be post-tested in reading
and math to determine grade gain, and will also be post-tested on
attitudes and work maturity skills.
Weld County assures that they will cooperate with the State
Coordinator, the University of Colorado-Boulder, and the national
evaluator, Abt Associates .
A final report indicating accomplishment of the program' s goals and
objectives and budget outcomes will be submitted at the end of the
project.
