CHARTING NEW TERRITORY: BUILDING SUCCESSFUL, MODEL COMMUNITY-WIDE AFTERSCHOOL SYSTEMS THROUGH STRATEGIC PARTNERSHIP Shanna Francisco-King MHC After 3 Program Coordinator Patrick Henry Community College Sfrancisco-king@ 276-656-5493 WHO WILL WE BE RECRUITING? /video/video/show?id=1115708%3AVideo%3A15188 AFTERSCHOOL? COMMUNITY COLLEGE? Why on earth would a community college become so heavily involved in helping to build a regional afterschool system for teens in rural Virginia? Simple. ACCORDING TO NATIONAL INSTITUTE ON OUT-OF-SCHOOL TIME, STUDENTS INVOLVED IN AFTERSCHOOL PROGRAMS Are more likely to pursue post-secondary education Are two times less likely to use drugs Are 63% less likely to become a teen parent Improve school and achievement test scores Attend school more often Have stronger relationships with family and peers Exhibit better behavior and reduce aggression Have higher self esteem Develop positive, meaningful relationships with mentors and peers National Institute on Out-of-School Time. Wellesley Centers for Women, Wellesley College. www.NIOST.org. 2007. THE NEED: In 2006, The United Way of Henry County and Martinsville published “Voices, Choices: Community Priority Assessment.” Of the top 10 priorities identified by respondents, four were concerned exclusively with youth: Lack of afterschool activities for youth, youth violence, youth leaving the community, substance abuse among youth. In the city of Martinsville, 47 of 1000 live births are to teen mothers as opposed to 16 of 1000 in the State of Virginia. Only 68% of 18-24 year olds are high school graduates and almost half of respondents graded our K-12 systems as “Fair” or “Poor” while the other half graded the systems are “Excellent” or “Good.” Furthermore, according to Virginia Department of Education, approximately 46% of school aged children in our community are living at or below the poverty level.
