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, Santa Clarita Valley Sheriffs Station, Santa Clarita Valley
Chamber of Commerce, and Assert, Inc., to apply for funding from the County of Los
Angeles Department of Community and Senior Services for a Workforce Investment Act
(WIA) 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 each year for five years, adjusted annually according to unspent funds.
The funding is 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 provide extensive
services to a minimum of 50 at -risk youth annually.
