The Youth/Young Adult Collaborative Outreach Program (YACCOP) is a collaborative partnership. This collaborative partnership functions two-fold:

COLLABORATIVE PARTNERSHIP #1:  Luke C. Moore, the ANC, its community 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 their DCPS LCM classmates.  Youth affiliated with  Guildfield Church will also participate.

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.

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.
