Project Name

Los Angeles After School Program.

Project Description

The project that is being proposed is an after-school program for at-risk youth in the city of Los Angeles, California. This program will aim to provide these youth with a safe place to go after school, where they can receive homework help and tutoring, participate in enrichment activities, and form positive relationships with adult mentors.

It is estimated that there is over 100,000 at-risk youth living in Los Angeles ("Los Angeles County Profile"). These are young people who are more likely than their peers to drop out of school, become involved in gangs or other criminal activity, and/or end up unemployed or underemployed as adults. They often come from low-income families and neighborhoods with limited resources. As such, they face significant challenges in achieving academic success and leading successful lives.

Analyze Social Impact(s)

• Analyze each of the potential social impacts of the project.
  • Who will be impacted?
  • Will the impact be positive or negative?
  • How will positive impacts be enhanced?
  • How will negative impacts be mitigated?

Monitor Social Impact(s)

• Explain how the social impacts of the project will be monitored.
  • How often will the social conditions of the project be reviewed?
  • How will actual social impacts be assessed against the potential social impacts identified earlier?
  • How will stakeholders be involved in monitoring the social impacts of the project?
