View Award Description

Project SHINE will deliver evidence-based curriculum and complementary activities to 840 youth ages 14-19 to encourage youth to abstain from sexual activity until marriage. - Project Description: SHINE (Strength, Health, Integrity, Navigation & Empowerment) will drive measurable change for youth through leveraging 82 years of community partnerships, being co-located with other community organizations, and a physical location in a low-income community where more than 50% of adolescents live in poverty. SHINE will deliver evidence-based curriculum and complementary activities to youth ages 14-19 in a voluntary sequence of activities that will include: 1) Evidence-based and abstinence-based Choosing the Best Journey curriculum that provides medically accurate instruction on sexual risk avoidance to promote optimal health; 2) job and career advancement skills including employability skills, financial literacy, college tours, and Paid Work Experiences; 3) socioemotional activities (ancillary workshops, pro-social activities, and network of healthy peers); and 4) coaching and support services for youth, including referrals to community partners. SHINE will serve an estimated 840 youth (over 3 years) ages 14-19 from the urban core of Grand Rapids, MI, primarily those living and learning in 49507-zip code, including those who are involved in juvenile justice, runaway/homeless, attending alternative high schools, and low income – all of whom are at high risk for risky sexual behavior, teen dating violence, sexual exploitation, and STIs. Because of the quality of its programs and its history of exceeding recruitment goals, BCS YSD is confident that it will impact at least this number of youth. During curricular classes, youth will create Future Planning Portfolios, which will assist them in linking present decisions with future goals. Youth completing classes at BCS YSD offices and the Kent County Juvenile Detention Center will be eligible to engage in a 7-week Paid Work Experience, enabling them to put into practice communication and planning skills developed in class. BCS YSD expects to see the following results, measured through pre/post-surveys: • 75% report increased intention to abstain/delay sexual activity • 80% demonstrate increased knowledge of STI prevention • 75% demonstrate confidence in using refusal skills • 75% report increased confidence in making decisions aligned with their personal goals. • 75% report increased confidence in job readiness
