The Children's Trust Service Partnership program provides funding for the planning
phase and pilot program of a Service Partnership. A Service Partnership is a group
of services and providers organized to provide comprehensive services to meet the
individual needs of children and families. All Service Partnerships require a
collaborative partnership of varied health and social service agencies in a shared
governance structure with community involvement.
The City, through its Neighborhood Services Department has proposed a project
that will provide entrepreneur, vocational and personal skills training to youth aged
13 to 18, while solidifying a sustainable service partnership among Miami Beach
providers. By utilizing a successful business model, the program will reduce truancy
and increase commitment to community among youth while empowering agencies
and youth to return to school to learn best practices, establish a commitment to
excellence and build capacity.
Phase one of the proposed program will identify needs and assets among the target
population, address the infrastructure and capacity deficiencies of youth providers
serving this population and solidify the agencies' ability to effectively engage and
collaborate with one another. The pilot project, commencing as the planning phase
begins to wind down, will target youth with intensive services utilizing successful
business principles and engaging community partners.
Once the planning phase grant program and pilot program have been approved by
the Children's Trust, a successful Service Partnership will be funded, based on an
approved scope of work, for full operation including additional community partners,
with an operational grant.
