SUBJECT: Appropriation of Funds for the YMCA PRYDE Program at
Meadowbrook Middle School
BACKGROUND
On February 8, 1994, the City Council approved an allocation of $15,000 to
implement an afterschool pilot intervention and positive alternatives program
for students at Meadowbrook Middle School.
The program, "After School at the Brook," was fully implemented in September
1994. Between the hours of 2:30 and 5 p.m., Monday through Friday,
approximately 15 to 20 "at risk" students from Meadowbrook participate in the
program. Activities consist of homework assistance, computer lab, performing
arts, hobbies/crafts, and recreation activities. The program is staffed by a
Meadowbrook Middle School teacher who is assisted by part-time recreation
leaders employed by the City.
Recently, the City and the School District have been approached by the YMCA
with an opportunity to expand the level of participants and services at
Meadowbrook. The program the YMCA offers is called PRYDE.
FINDINGS
The YMCA operates an afterschool pr09ram known as PRYDE. The program serves
primarily at-risk youth and offers youth and their families wholesome YMCA
activities and structured educational programs. Homework assistance and
tutoring, structured recreational activities, community service events,
leadership training, and career awareness are several of the components of the
PRYDE program.

- The YMCA PRYDE program will receive assistance from the federally assisted
AmeriCorps program. Through AmeriCorps, two part-time staff will be funded
for 20 hours per week over a three week period. The YMCA will be responsible
for recruiting and training AmeriCorps personnel.
It is proposed to implement the PRYDE program at Meadowbrook Middle School.
The program would operate Monday through Friday between the hours of 2:30 and
5:30 p.m. It is projected that approximately 120 to 150 youth would
eventually be enrolled in the program.
Staffing would consist of a 30 hour per week site manager, two part-time
AmeriCorps staff, and volunteers. The program would be administered by the
YMCA in consultation with the City and Meadowbrook Middle School staff
(Attachment 1)
A projected annual budget for the PRYDE program is attached (Attachment 2).
The total annual program expenses of $36,775 includes $12,348 from AmeriCorps
and $24,427 from the City of Poway. This budget does not include the cost to
lease and insure a IS-passenger van, which is estimated to cost $7,000 per
year.
Since the commitment for AmeriCorps participation is for a three year period,
the PRYDE program should be budgeted for three years. A three year budget
commitment would require a total City allocation of $95,000 less $12,000
savings for previously budgeted recreation leaders at Meadowbrook, or a net
outlay of $83,000.
.-
It is anticipated that the PRYDE program could be implemented at Meadowbrook
in early 1995. At the same time, the existing afterschool program at
Meadowbrook would be terminated.
