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 sk

ip 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

Earlier this month PYA held a fun night at Roseland. PYA members and their families were able to meet with the PYA partners to find out more about what PYA does and how they can get involved in our programs. We had pizza, drinks, games, t-shirts, and a final raffle prize a 28 inch smart TV. Thank you to everyone who came out to have some fun!

And also a big thank you to all the parents who filled out a spring ASEBA form!!

Congrats to Zharria Fowler - PYA's Youth of the Month for March 2014!

Zharria is a very bright and intelligent young lady who is always lending a helpful hand. She displays strong leadership and is the first to arrive and the last to leave. On our field trip to ADP payroll services, she asked numerous questions highlighting her interest in the workforce. Zharria is very dedicated to whatever assignment is set before her and is enthusiastic about books, proving this by always reading a book. PYA staff knows that if Zharria continues on the path that she is on, she will have a very bright future ahead of her. PYA is extremely happy to have Zharria here! Join us in congratulating Zharria!
