IV. Equal Employment Compliance
A State and Local Governments
Certify that an Equal Employment Opportunity Plan (EEOP) exists which is consistent with federal guidelines for minority persons and females. This requirement is mandatory for government entities requesting $25,000 or more in grant funds AND having 50 or more employees. If the government entity is requesting less than $25,000, a certification is not needed. However, if it is requesting $25,000 or more but has less than 50 employees, complete the certification indicating that an EEOP is not required (section 2 of the certification). The EEOP certification is located in the appendix section of this book.
B. Non-Profit Organizations, School Systems and Medical Institutions
Applicants that are non-profit organizations, school systems or medical institutions are not required to develop or submit an Equal Employment Opportunity Plan. However, all recipients of federal funds, regardless of the type of entity, must comply with all applicable non-discrimination laws and regulations as described below:
No person in any state shall, on the ground of race, color, religion, national origin, sex, or disability, be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, be subjected to discrimination under, or denied employment in connection with any program or activity that receives federal financial assistance.
V. Service Delivery Strategy Act Compliance
Effective July 1, 1999, every county (and cities within that county) is required to adopt a Service Delivery Strategy. The strategy is a concise implementation plan among cities and counties to provide local government services and resolve land use conflicts within the county. These strategies are submitted to the Georgia Department of Community Affairs (DCA) for approval, and DCA is charged with monitoring compliance.
As a result of this new law, no state-administered financial assistance can be awarded to a local municipality that is not in compliance with the Act. This requirement applies to all Georgia county governments, city governments, and authorities (e.g., housing, water, and downtown development authorities). Please be aware that some cities will fall into more than one county, and all counties are required to be in compliance for the city to be eligible for funding. To determine whether your municipality is in compliance, you may visit DCA's web site at www.dca.servicedelivery.org. All local municipality applicants must submit a compliance certificate verifying eligibility. The certification is located in the appendix section of this book.

The applicant may decline the amended or reduced grant award, and may request a commensurate amendment or reduction in the scope of the project.
If, during the term of the grant award, the funds appropriated are reduced or
eliminated by the Georgia State Legislature or the United States Government, CYCC
may immediately terminate or reduce the grant award by written notice to the grantee. However, no such termination or reduction shall apply to allowable costs already incurred by the subgrantee to the extent that funds are available for payment of such costs.
A request for continuation of funding may not exceed the amount of the previous year's award.

GENERAL FUNDING POLICIES
11
1. CYCC seeks to fund the initiation of new projects or expand established programs that serve high-risk youth. CYCC will not consider funding established programs with existing operational costs.
2. CYCC reserves the right to designate particular funding priorities during each funding cycle.
3. A high priority rating will be given to applicants that provide intense, long-term, creative youth development activities within the abstinence education program. A low priority rating will be given to applicants that propose a short-term curriculum/cognitive skills only abstinence education program.
4. CYCC requires that each program include the standardized goals and objectives
outlined on page 18. Programs may include additional goals and objectives relevant to the particular program however, do not submit more than 10 goals and objectives combined.
5. CYCC requires that the pre and post test surveys (sample included in RFP) for the middle and high school students be implemented by each program to answer the standard objectives. If you will be implementing the abstinence program in a school system, CYCC requires that the school principle and superintendent sign the Evaluation Acknowledgment form included in this RFP. It may be necessary for you to get approval by the local school board or health curriculum committee before administering the surveys. CYCC will not award an abstinence education grant to an entity that does not comply with the use of these surveys.
6. Gathering and reporting of programmatic data are critical. CYCC requires that evaluation findings be included in applications for continuation (demonstrating progress to date) as well as in the annual program report due at the end of each project year. Evaluation findings illustrate both successful implementation and program impact on participants and/or the community as a whole. Each program will be required to administer the Georgia Abstinence Education pre and post test surveys.
7. If abstinence funding is awarded, the subgrantee will be required to submit a
completion worksheet to CYCC monthly. The form requires participant name or
identification number along with current program status.

14. Funding will not be approved to supplant (replace) obligations that belong to state or local units of government.
15. Grant funds will not be utilized under any circumstances for construction purposes.
16. CYCC will ensure that each congressional district is given equal consideration during the grant review process.

Subsequently, it is mandatory that grant applications describe this methodology.
18. CYCC requires all subgrantees to establish and enforce an Internet Security Policy when minor participants and/or staff have access (supervised or unsupervised) to the Internet. This includes any technology provided by CYCC funding and technology utilized by participants during a CYCC funded program component. The Internet Security Policy is intended to restrict access to inappropriate and harmful materials, such as obscene or pornographic content and/or e-mail or chat rooms that may compromise participant personal identification information. CYCC does not recommend or require any specific security or filter programs.

PROGRAM NARRATIVE
Page 17
ij
The following information provides a description of the necessary components to include in the narrative portion of your proposal. Limit the narrative to 10 pages and use the outline format described in this section. The narrative is a detailed statement of the work to be undertaken and answers who, what, when, where, why, and how statements of the project.
I. Problem Statement
A What is the problem the project proposes to solve? Describe the problem and the need it will meet. Provide specific local data such as demographics, poverty rate, teen birth rate, school dropout rate, sexually transmitted disease rates, and juvenile court trends. Describe how the county and local rates compare to the rates for the state. Briefly explain program format and general purpose. If the project targets a particular neighborhood within the county/city, include specific background information. Define the size of the target population to be served. For example, if the program proposes to serve middle school students with severe academic deficiencies, specify the number of such students in the local school system.
B. Why is the project important and how can it impact youth outcomes such as recidivism, school attendance, failure rates, and teen pregnancy? Describe existing gaps in local services for high-risk children and youth and how the proposed project will address these needs. For example, if the proposed project is an after-school tutoring and abstinence education program, discuss the extent to which these types of programs are currently available. Illustrate the need for such programs by describing the current availability of services for this population.
II. Program Goals and Objectives
List the program goals and objectives in a clearly defined and measurable manner. Directly relate issues and risk factors discussed in the problem statement. Whenever possible, compare the goals to available baseline data (e.g., to improve the grades of program participants during the year; or to prevent participants from re-offending after entering the program). Funded programs will be required to submit evaluation data related to each goal and objective included in the application.
CYCC requires performance and outcome measures with a maximum limit of ten goals and objectives combined.
2006 Abstinence Education RFP and Application Kit
Page 18
A. Program Goals
Program goals relate to the implementation and activities of the program. They provide a standard to determine service delivery. Include the estimated number of participants to be served annually and the projected daily capacity of the program. Performance goals may also include specific program activities, number completing the program, and/or quantity of various services. The required goals are as follows.
1. Reduce teen pregnancy.
2. Increase abstinence education among youth ages 10-19.
Develop realistic and fundamental program goals that can be answered by the evaluation component. It is not necessary to include goals for all program activities or components. Address activities that relate to the risk factors identified in the problem statement. Additional program goals may be added to reflect the focus of individual programs.
B. Program Objectives
Program objectives specify the impact that the program expects to have on participants and/or the community as a whole. Program objectives directly relate to program activities and are measurable. For example, a prevention program might focus on reducing delinquency by improving the grades and school attendance of program participants. The required program objectives are as follows.
1. 100% of program participants will remain free of pregnancy or fathering a child while participating in the program.
2. 80% of program participants will be able to define abstinence education by the end of the program year.
3. 60% of program participants will pledge to remain abstinent until marriage.
4. 75% of program participants will be able to implement refusal skills by the close of the program year.
5. 75% of program participants will complete the abstinence education program.
Develop realistic and fundamental program objectives that can be answered by the evaluation component. It is not necessary to include an objective for each program activity or component. Address activities that relate to the risk factors identified in the problem statement such as academic performance, school attendance or behavior, and juvenile court involvement. Additional objectives may be added to reflect the focus of individual programs.

The evaluation plan explains what data are to be collected, how data will be analyzed, and who will be responsible for the data collection. For example, an evaluation plan for an abstinence program may gather data pertaining to grades and school attendance on a quarterly basis for program participants and the school system or county as a whole. These data may be analyzed to illustrate increases or decreases of these variables as well as compare them to the averages within the community.
The evaluation plan assesses program progress and determines whether or not goals are attained. Develop a practical plan that considers the type and amount of local data available as well as staff resources. CYCC requires that the evaluation plan address each goal and objective.
IV. Methods and Procedures
Describe in detail the program design/format and the methodology. New programs are required to provide a timetable for program implementation that includes a specific implementation date. Include the following information:
1. a description of the referral process for the program,
2. type and frequency of proposed activities/services,
3. days and hours the project will be operational, including summer components (if applicable), and
4. overall format and organization of the program.
It is essential that the overall organization of the project and the relationship of different program components be clearly described. Link program activities to one another and seek to achieve the overall program goals described in the project narrative. It is also imperative to link program activities to the budget. For example, if there is a student transportation line item in the budget, the narrative must include a description of how student transportation will be implemented. It is mandatory that applicants include a description of their current background investigation policy or plans to perform background investigations for direct service project staff and volunteers if funded.
V. Previous Program Accomplishments
Programs requesting continuation funding are required to provide a description of program activities and accomplishments to date. Include a summary of program activities, the number of youth served to date, and data answering whether or not the goals were met. This information is an essential component of continuation applications. Also include a description of problems encountered with the original design of the program as well as the corrective action taken.
2006 Abstinence Education RFP and Application Kit
Page 20
This section does not apply to first-year applications for the development of completely new programs. However, first-year applications that intend to expand or enhance existing programs are required to provide a summary of the organization's current structure and activities as well as discuss how the proposed project would impact current services.
VI. Additional Funding Sources
CYCC recognizes that grant funds alone, in many instances, will not be adequate to effectively operate a successful program. Provide information on other resources available to fully implement the program. Include any additional matching funds over and above the mandated amount listed within the RFP. The funds described here may not include those previously listed in the Detailed Budget Summary and Budget Narrative portion of the application. The subgrantee will not be required to document these additional resources during the grant cycle.
VII. Continuation Plan Describe the strategy for obtaining permanent financial support for the
program at the conclusion of CYCC funding. Include a description of existing local financial and volunteer support for the project and the plan for involving other local organizations as well as individuals in acquiring permanent funding.
Note. It is imperative that all proposals include the above seven sections in the project narrative. Failure to do so will affect the review of the application.

GENERAL INFORMATION Complete the Detailed Budget Summary for each of the six major categories for which funding is being requested. Designate the appropriate grant and matching funds of the total cost of the item in the appropriate column under "Requested Budget" for each item listed in the category. DO NOT WRITE under the heading of "Approved Budget," as this is for Council use only.
USE ONLY WHOLE DOLLAR FIGURES. Do not complete the space marked "Subgrant Number," this will be assigned by the Council.
CALCULATE THE PERCENT OF BUDGET FOR EACH COST CATEGORY. For example, if you are requesting a total of $75,000 in grant funds and the personal services subtotal is $50,000, the percent of budget for personal services is 67%. Please round to the highest percent, no decimals.
