SUMMARY:
The City of Pensacola (City”) desires to offer an after-school enrichment program to benefit youth by teaching life skills that includes development of social and emotional skills through positive behavioral support, school readiness, homework support and positive conflict resolution. The program teaches skills that build on a student’s individual strengths and resiliency in a positive and supportive environment to promote success for the participants in all areas of life.
CDAC Behavioral Health, Inc. (“CDAC”) is a non-profit, community-based enrichment program provider for youth. CDAC agrees to offer a Project BOOST After School Enrichment program called Peaceful Alternatives to Tough Situations (“PATT”) in accordance with the responsibilities stated in this agreement.
The PATTS-Peaceful Alternative to Tough Situations is a group instruction and role play program that will be offered in elementary age children during after school time at E. S. Cobb and Fricker Resource Centers to help youth learn positive social skills. The PATTS curriculum encourages caring and responsible behavior and helps them learn non-violent conflict resolution skills. In addition CDAC will offer Homework Enrichment with a focus on math and reading.
There is no charge to the City of Pensacola to provide these programs and participants are not charged any fees. However, the Fricker Resource Center PATTS Program expenses will be reimbursable as a subcontractor to the Escambia Children’s Trust Grant Agreement for after-school enrichment programs.
