BACKGROUND
In March 2000, the City of Santa Clarita partnered with the William S. Hart Union High
School District, School and Business Partners Alliance, Santa Clarita Child and Family
Center, College of the Canyons, the Sherifrs Station, Santa Clarita Valley Chamber of
Commerce, and Assert, Inc., t ' o apply for funding from the County of Los Angeles
Department of Community and Senior Services for a Workforce Investment Act Youth
Program Grant. On June 20, 2000, the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors approved
the City to receive a $140,000 grant for a program development and implementation.
The funding will be used to establish coordinated and comprehensive services to youth to
ensure access to the necessary skills and opportunities to help them realize their full
potential and successfully transition into adulthood, employment, and further education
and training. The program will develop a centralized mechanism for offering existing youth
employment programs and would provide case management to ensure youth are receiving
all of the necessary support and service.
The success of the program and youth is dependent on staff involvement with the clients.
The required client -to -staff ratio is 15:1. Two staff funded by the grant will provide
extensive services to a minimum of 30 at -risk youth annually.
