Community Prevention Grants Program | Title V

Monday, August 8th, 2011

Delinquency is a major epidemic and it is getting worse as time goes on. Adolescents are getting arrested for assaults and crimes in unprecedented numbers. The correction facilities and juvenile courts system cannot keep up with it.

Current programs already in place to combat the issue are overwhelmingly inadequate. This is what lead the government to issue grants to help find solutions where these children live and go to school in an attempt to help them before they get into the “system”.

The Community Prevention Grants Program (Title V) has provided local governments and communities with money through Federal grants in order to plan and develop programs and resources to help prevent delinquency among the youth. This can feel like an almost impossible task as delinquency rates seem overwhelming. Thankfully, there is hope.

Now that you’ve received money for the Community Prevention Grants Program (Title V) it is time to put it to work in the best way possible. What you need is a youth motivational speaker to come and speak about preventive measures schools can take to prevent bullying and drug usage with students.

This should be your first step, when hiring an educated and knowledgeable youth speaker with expertise in these areas, he will assist you in developing a foundation on which to build up the rest of your delinquency prevention program.

Why hire someone to come and speak? Most planning and collaboration problems occur because people don’t get on the same page about issues, usually due to ignorance. Having someone who can not only motivate and inspire people to get involved, but also educate them and teach them about the core issues and effective solutions can you effectively get the synergy needed to really accomplish your prevention goals.

The absolute best youth speaker for the job is Fabian Ramirez. He knows how to reach teenagers where they are at and bring them up to a new level. He has expertise in Anti-Drug prevention programs, Anti-Bullying programs, School Dropout Prevention programs, Youth Leadership programs and more.  If you are looking for more than to simply have him speak, he also leads seminars and facilitates workshops to make sure you get the help that you need.

Adolescent delinquency is a problem we can no longer ignore. If what you have been doing in the past is not getting you the results you want, why not give something new and bring in a fresh, yet proven perspective? Book Fabian Ramirez to speak at your school or community event today.

Elementary School Assemblies

Wednesday, February 23rd, 2011

Elementary schools across the United States will annually host an assembly where the whole school will gather to hear a guest speaker or see an educational presentation. These type of programs usually run about an hour and depending on the size of your venue, you can probably get the whole school to particpate instead of breaking up the presentation by grade levels.

If your grade school is interested in hosting a school assembly, here are some suggestions as you plan your event.

1. Get the most out of your event – Try and book your assembly in the morning and see if you can get the presenter to do something in the afternoon as well. This is especially good if your school is big enough to have two or three assemblies in a single day.

2. Plan around a special event – Look on the school districts calendar and figure out a day where you can piggy back off of a special event during the year. For example, most schools will have state testing and it would be a good idea to bring a youth speaker to motivate students to perform their best on the test. Another event that occurs every October is called Red Ribbon Week where students get to learn about staying away from drugs and alcohol.

3. Know the needs of your school – If your school is dealing with a crisis or kids are dealing with a bully and you don’t know how to handle it, educate all students by booking a school bullying speaker as a neutral person who can address the issue. Not only that but the speaker can make learning about a serious issue fun and entertaining so that the message sticks.

4. Stay within budget – Some schools budget for assemblies and some don’t, just like field trips. However there are so many ways to gather funding for an assembly and it’s worth it to invest in your students.

Get your students excited about school again by hosting an assembly at your Elementary school and bringing in a youth motivational speaker to keep your kids on the edge of their seats.
