Programs Regions Topics ACF Programs and Services Administration for Native Americans The Administration for Native Americans (ANA) promotes the goal of social and economic self-sufficiency of American Indians, Alaska Natives, Native Hawaiians, and other Native American Pacific Islanders, including Native Samoans. Self-sufficiency is that level of development at which a Native American community can control and internally generate resources to provide for the needs of its members and meet its own economic and social goals. Social and economic underdevelopment is the paramount obstacle to the self-sufficiency of Native American communities and families. Administration on Developmental Disabilities The Administration on Developmental Disabilities grants support programs that protect the rights and promote the self-sufficiency of Americans with developmental disabilities and their families. Funds help state governments, local communities, and the private sector to integrate these people socially and economically into mainstream society. Children's Bureau The Bureau provides grants to states, tribes and communities to operate a range of child welfare services including child protective services (child abuse and neglect), family preservation and support, foster care, adoption assistance and independent living.

Children, Youth and Families At-Risk '99 The Problem Many Georgia children are living in at-risk environments. Georgia ranks 43rd in overall child well-being, based on 10 indicators tracked by Kids Count. Indicators include low-birthweight babies, teen deaths, births to teen parents, juvenile violent crime, and percent of children in poverty. At 20%, Georgia's child poverty rate is above the national average. With welfare reform, the four-year lifetime limit on TANF benefits will place pressure on parents to find and keep jobs and find affordable child care. Many Georgia children are not succeeding in school. At least 47% of 4th graders are not reaching a basic level of achievement in mathematics, and 51% of 8th graders are scoring below a basic level in science. 14% of Georgia teens drop out of high school each year. Research-based Solutions Programming that emphasizes positive youth development builds resiliency in at-risk children and youth. The most effective interventions target children at young ages and provide long-term support and education. Effective programming for children at risk intentionally involves their families at all levels.

The National Extension Children, Youth, and Family Network Sharon K. B. Wright Youth At Risk Specialist, Extension Service, USDA swright@esusda.gov The Cooperative Extension System (CES), ES-USDA, and the National 4-H Council have established a national Children, Youth, and Family (CYF) NETWORK consisting of four National Networks focussing on Child Care, Collaborations, Science and Technology, and Family Resiliency; and a national distributed information infrastructure. The CYF NETWORK consolidates program and technology resources and, through the electronic infrastructure, expedites nationwide access to information and education. The CYF NETWORK assists the Cooperative Extension System nationwide in accomplishing its mission to marshal resources of the land-grant universities and CES to collaborate with other organizations to develop and deliver educational programs that equip limited resource families and youth who are at risk for not meeting basic human needs, to lead positive, productive, contributing lives. The CYF NETWORK is not centered in Washington or in individual states. Each Network includes faculty with diverse experiences and skills from 4-H Youth Development, Home Economics, Community Development, Communications Technology, and other university departments from at least nine land-grant universities. The Networks allow states to reallocate resources and concentrate development money and staff time in one or two areas in which they have the most expertise. Fewer staff will be developing programs, more staff can devote time to working directly with youth and families in their communities. Services of the CYF NETWORK will be concentrated on 95 ES-USDA funded Youth At Risk (YAR) local projects and simultaneously be available to all states and counties.

Funding can come from many sources small family foundations; large, national non profit organizations; and state and local government. In addition, one crucial source of after-school and youth development funding is the federal government. This database sponsored by AfterSchool.Gov, part of the National Partnership for Reinventing Government, gives you one stop for information about more than 100 sources of federal funding for after-school and youth development programming.

Its purpose is to enable all Georgia's youth to achieve their highest potential by meeting family and community needs and offering community programs that focus on building young people's strengths. CYDS is designed to combat the high costs and long-term negative effects of economic and social problems (e.g., high rates of violence and substance abuse, high teen pregnancy rates, low SAT scores, and low high school graduation rates). Youth participate in identifying problems and designing prevention activities and programs that reduce these problems and are proven effective in increasing adult independence and self-sufficiency. Since January 2002, regional CYDS teams have organized to develop CYDS plans for each region in Georgia. Comprised of youth and representatives from civic, faith, business and diverse public/private/nonprofit youth-serving organizations, these teams currently receive support from a core of state-level partners.
