Promising Youth Alliance

Promising Youth Alliance The Problem We Are Solving
Too many promising youth without positive role models, guidance, or supervision.

Promising Youth Alliance ("PYA") is a first of its kinds collaborative enterprise among three of the nation’s most successful providers of youth development services: Big Brothers Big Sisters, Boys and Girls Club of Greater Dallas, and Phoenix House. In Dallas alone we have over 100,000 kids that are considered at risk. Benefit of participants in after-school programs:
· 3 times less likely to skip school
· 20%-50% less likely to drop out of school
· their math scores rise by 12-20%
· 3 times less likely to use drugs
· 30% less likely to commit crime

A problem for the children:
They never get what our privileged children take for granted
· Motivation
· Inspiration
· Mentoring
· Supervision

A problem for the community and society
· Juvenile crime skyrockets after 3:00 p.m.
· If just 25% of current DISD students improve education by one level = 35% increase ($350 million) increase in their combined adult income insuring our community benefits from a more productive citizenship
