This document describes the development of an after-school program in Dansville, New York through community partnerships and networking. It outlines how the program started in 1998 with funding for a middle school program. Through collaboration with school leaders, the program later expanded to elementary schools. Community networking helped the program in Mount Morris also receive funding. The document then discusses how the communities came together under the PROSPER program to implement evidence-based prevention programs for youth. Key individuals from schools and organizations formed a community team to lead this effort.

DANSVILLE NETWORKING: 1996 received Community came together to look at the possibility of funding for an afterschool program. 1997 Dansville contracted with a firm from Buffalo to write an Advantage After-School Grant. I was asked to be a member of a writing team. The proposal was unsuccessful. FINAL SUCCESS We continued to have conversation with the Principal Adel Bovard and Vice Principal Amy Schavi. Adel, Amy and we worked together updating and expanding data for a second try in Spring 1998 Dansville had a tremendous juvenile delinquency problem (over 300 cases) as well as a major drug problem. Randomly drug sniffing dogs were brought into the building where they found liquor in student lockers as well as drugs. 1998 Was there first year of funding for a Middle School Program. NEED FOR EXPANTION
Amy and I continued to talk about additional
concerns and needs in the school district. 1999 We did an expansion grant to cover both the Elementary and Primary Buildings. In the fall of 1999 Adel became the School Superintendent and Amy moved into the Principals position. As with all new program the Middle-School continuously struggling within the school as we were the new kid on the block. At this point Adel and Amy began including the After-School staff in staff meeting and trainings. NEW GRANT
The number of juvenile delinquency cased began
to drop as we picked up more students in the after-school program. 2004 they received their second round of funding which continued all three building. The delinquency level was now down to 50 and continued to slowly decline. Drugs and Alcohol was stile a problem. Now a new community also emerged with the same problems – Networking began with Mount Morris who became funded in 2008. The Dansville Grant ended in 2009 and the programs still continues today as Fee-Based 2013 COMMUNITY CHANGES In the Fall 2013 Dansville After-School was taken over by New Community Center This added another level of community coverage as there was now a place for students to go on weekends and evenings Mount Morris grant funding ended and moved to first year of fee-based which lead to a different networking focus: how to stay open in an extremely poor community. NEW FOCUSES We now developed a new focus. Drugs and Alcohol still remained a problem joined by bullying. We were now concerned with both the Middle and High School. We began talking about PROSPER. Then began positioning for selection. We were successful which lead to tremendous networking. WHAT IS PROSPES ? Promoting School-community-university Partnerships to Enhance Resilience. A system that supports the sustained, quality delivery of scientifically proven programs for middle school youth and their Families. DEVELOP OF COMMUNITY TEAM: Began with: Selection of Community/School District Dansville Central School District Select School Representative as Co-Leader Amy Schiavi SELECTION OF TEAM MEMBER Amy and I sat down together and asked ourselves; “Who are the best matches and hold power in the community and the county. We looked at Who we already had relationships with Who was vested in the focus of prevention Who would be key within the school Who would be key within the community Who would be key parents NEXT STEPS Once we had the organizations selected we began looking for key individuals Characteristics: • Knowledge of child and youth development • Knowledge of the community and connections • Individuals with connections to other prevention programs or curriculums • School personnel trusted by students and parents • Two High School Students who could relate with younger children and youth and had leadership skills. DR. JOHAN FLENDER. Interested in the Strengthening Families Program. Talking to staff about being trained as facilitators. Offering to pay them for their time. Recruiting families in her office Product or service. There is no such kind of product or service but according to me I have some ideas about it. A program is going to be organized in a school where there will be lunch facility provided to the students as participants and volunteer. The responsibility was given to the school authority. But due to some reasons the school canteen was not able to supply . Then the authority decided to give the order to outside companies. But they were not able to reach out any. Then they got to know about an NGO (Food Serve) They said to them that they will do all the necessary thing and supply the food. Now the NGO gave the order to a catering service and they supplied the food to the school serving 1000 students. Thus in this all the three things were collaborated that is COMMUNITY – NETWORK- PARTNERSHIP. THANK YOU
