[WardFive] REMINDER: Sat, October 12 (10am-3pm): Youth/Young Adult Collaborative Outreach Program (YACCOP)

A reminder of tomorrow's pilot mentoring, tutoring and life guidance collaborative outreach for our youth and young adults.

The first monthly session of the Youth/Young Adult Collaborative Outreach Program (YACCOP) begins tomorrow - Saturday, October 12.

This collaborative with Luke C. Moore, Noyes Education Campus, ANC 5B02 and 5B04 and Guildfield Baptist Church will meet at the Guildfield Missionary Baptist Church (Basement/Sutton Fellowship Hall – 1023 Otis Street, NE) from 10AM-3PM. A flyer is attached.

We have a two-fold collaborative partnership underway:

COLLABORATIVE PARTNERSHIP #1: Luke C. Moore/Noyes Education Campus/ ANC and Guildfield Baptist Church. This partnership allows pre-selected Luke C. Moore high school students to earn their required community service credits by tutoring and mentoring two types DCPS students: (1) their peers from LCM and (2) pre-selected elementary age students from Noyes Education Campus. This concept of "adopt-a--classroom/adopt-a-classmate" allows both the Noyes & Luke C. Moore students to be academically "adopted" (receive one-on-one help) from pre-selected Luke C. Moore tutors & mentors in need of required community service.

COLLABORATIVE PARTNERSHIP #2: Luke C. Moore/ANC 5B02 & 5B04 community/Guildfield Baptist Church. This partnership allows Luke C. Moore high school students to receive mentoring, tutoring, personal enrichment and life skills help from the immediate community's adult volunteers. Students need assistance in an array of areas.

We look forward to your volunteer participation on Saturday, October 12. Together, we can help our youth and young adults prepare for their future. We know that their future is our future and their success is our success!

THANK YOU FOR SERVING OUR COMMUNITY AND OUR FUTURE!

****************
WHAT IS AN ANC?
The Advisory Neighborhood Commissions (ANCs) are locally elected bodies which shall advise the Council of the District of Columbia, the Mayor and each executive agency, the Government of the District of Columbia, all independent agencies, boards and commissions with respect to all proposed matters of District of Columbia governmental policy including but not limited to decisions regarding planning, streets, recreation, social service programs, education, health, safety, and sanitation which affect the Commission area. In each of these areas, the intent of the ANC legislation is to ensure input from an advisory board that is made up of the residents of the neighborhoods that are directly affected by government action. The ANCs are the body of government with the closest official ties to the citizens in a neighborhood. Commissioners serve without compensation. See PL 93-198 and DCL 1-21, as amended.
