I. Proposal
Saving Our Youth Organization is a non-profit group. SOYO IS applying for federal funding to create educational physical fitness community centers. Our mission is to fill the gap in our society's educational and physical fitness and engage our youth in numerous activities. We are requesting the federal government to fund a ten year project and support SOYO with 100 million dollars to create and fund youth center in failing school districts in an effort to promote physical fitness and educational programs.
After the closure of schools, we have noticed an increase in juvenile crimes and deaths of children. A lot has also been written about the youth who have no place to go and are forced to hang out in the dangerous city streets. These children tend to engage in criminal acts because they have no place else to go. They have a higher likelihood of joining the street gangs and use drugs to overcome their lack of involvement in other fruitful youth activities.
SOYO plans to take students after schools' closure and remodel them into youth community centers offering physical fitness and educational opportunities. The center has realized that often the community crumbles and the youth are left behind to fend for themselves. Therefore, it also plans to create centralized community centers offering physical fitness opportunities for all ages. Indoor and outdoor tracks with field sports will also be offered with the goal of teaching good sportsmanship and leadership. Educational benefits from SOYO will include mentoring and tutoring in all subjects. The center also plans to establish a state of the art computer lab for the community with a wireless hub and online services.
